Jo Dill is the new Maine Senior Games Coordinator

Filed under: Photos — David Colby Young @ 6:31 am

The Healthy Aging Program is very pleased to announce that, effective today, the new Maine Senior Games Coordinator is Jo Dill. Jo is a retired Health and Physical Education teacher in the Kennebunk area school district. She is currently the Executive Director of the Maine Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance – a position she has held for 12 years and will continue to hold while she works 20 hours per week for the MSG.  Some of you know Jo from the MSG Women’s Basketball tournament, where she plays on the Maine Pioneers 60+ team. She also coordinates the Corner Cupboard Non-Food Pantry in Sanford, and serves on the board of various organizations including Unlimited Vision Montessori School, and the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Sports, Health and Wellness.

Jo lives in Lyman, ME. Her office telephone: 207-396-6519. Her email: jdill@smaaa.org.

I am sure all of you wish Anita Chandler the best of times in her retirement and I am sure all of you will enjoy working with Jo. We will soon have Jo’s office  telephone linked to her cell phone  and I March she will have the capability to send and receive email messages from a portable device.

Also new this year will be the registration for the MSG and the reporting of results. The National Senior Games has a web based registration 207system which is now ready for the rest of us to use. Jo and other staff will learn how to use it later this month and then make it available to everyone.

The Old AOL Maine Running Photos Journal

Filed under: Photos — David Colby Young @ 8:09 am

Dear Friends & Fellow Runners!

We have moved over 75,000 photos from the old AOL Maine Running Photos before the doors closed on 31 Dec 2008. Now not all the photos I take are running related but a great number are. We continued to move photos 7 days after the closing date but now the doors are completely closed. We will check the block transfer to “Photo Works” incomplete as it is, still it way contain some of the photo collections we either missed or did not have time to transfer.


Below are the collections we are making public and will try to make more public as we have time.

    The issues of the Day
    Auburn Schools
    #1  David Young does not favor a  major renovation to the ELHS without state participation. It is not fair to place the total tax burden on Auburn taxpayers especially when cities like Falmouth and Gorham get help. These towns with high incomes remain high on the State of Maine’s list to get money for their local school projects.
    Auburn annexing other towns and/or cities
    #2  David Young does not favor a rush to consolidate with Lewiston or any other town. Rushing to do this for the sake of immediate cost savings will erode our control and it will not save any money. Savings can be found both in house and with some cooperation with Lewiston and/or other Androscoggin or even Cumberland County towns. Why take the risk of a marriage?  We need to look at the total picture. A marriage or civil union means we will pool our resources & debts with another city or town. Lewiston has more debt and different priorities. As we tell our children not to rush into marriage without looking first, this should be no different. This is an unpopular arguement as the vocal supporters are only looking at the good points.  They say “We know the other city has debt but after the merger this will change.”  Warning! in a 60% Lewiston to 40% Auburn power split,  just whose taxes will be paying for whose priorities? As with the teenage son or daughter the more objections you point out the more they dismiss the negatives.  Please look at the facts without emotion. In the end it will be the role of the State House & Senate to approve a merger, of course some people mistrust them.  This is not to say that the City of Lewiston is bad, only that they have significant financial problems.   Auburn should  look closely before they become cosigners for Lewiston’s loans. We should  build on our similarities and enhance our relationship. If Auburn & Lewiston were the same size with the same interests there would be fewer problems with a merger.
    Public Transportation
    #3  David Young favors prioritizing transportation by exploring more efficient alternatives such as railroads  and bus lines.
    Public Service
    #4  David Young has experience with the Auburn Schools both as a three term Auburn School Committee member and as the parent of two children who attended Auburn schools. I value education and will seek to collaborate with the school department to ensure that art, music, and theater don’t get left behind in these difficult budget times. I have also have experience on other boards & committees (i.e. Maine Track Club, Maine Genealogical Society, Maine State Grange, Life Underwriters to name a few)
    Taxes & Services
    #5  I believe that property taxes should be held at a reasonable level while demanding the most efficient delivery of the important services that the City provides. In the end we will have a stronger leaner government.
    LA Arts & the Great Falls Performing Arts Center
    #6
    The CLT, the Share Center and the other renters at Great Falls school should be offered long term leases (five years). I  can support the plan #3.  More information about plan #3 on request.
    Summary
    Even if you plan to vote for one of the two others, I value you opinion on the above issues.  It helps to see important issues from different perspectives.
