Mike Brooks tells us:
” I think I bit off more than I can chew as the saying goes. My plan is to try to run 500 miles in a Ten Day race and raise $10,000 for Camp Sunshine. Camp Sunshine is located on Sebago Lake , Maine and helps seriously ill children and their families. To learn more about Camp Sunshine and why I am doing this race please watch the short video.
Well the fundraising part is going slow mostly because of the economy so I need your help more than ever to reach my goal. If you can make a donation it would be greatly appreciated by me and the kids , some terminally ill ,who you would be helping.
As runners you know about enduring pain. You choose to run and bring on the pain involved knowing that the pain will go away . The kids that go to Camp Sunshine suffer more than most of us could imagine and for some of them their pain will never go away.
Donate by the mile to make me try harder to get to 500 miles or a set amount. Donations can be made at www.tendaysforsunshine.org or mailed to Camp Sunshine , 35 Acadia Road , Casco, ME 04015. If you mail a donation in note that it is for my fundraiser please. If you are going to donate by the mile let me know you are so I will have that much more motivation, I do not need to know the amount per mile. If you know of anyone who might donate please forward this email.
To watch the video of Camp Sunshine and me follow directions below.
Thanks for your help , Mike

B2B SOLD OUT
(The following is the reaction of Maine Track Club President Mark Grandonico)
“We all had no idea it would fill in less than 2 hours. I knew it sold out as my cell rang almost immediately with the Million Dollar Question.  Does The MTC Have Slots?
No – we don’t, at this time.  I will work with Race Organizers to try and obtain some slots.  If we do – I will inform the club and we will devise a fair process to distribute them.
Consider volunteering this year if you didn’t get in.  Go to the B2B website and click the volunteer tab.  Make sure you indicate Finish Area Security and that you are a member of the MTC.”

David Colby Young Wins Auburn, Maine Ward 4 Council Seat

Filed under: election — Tags: , , , — David Colby Young @ 12:08 pm
courtesy of the Twin City Times

courtesy of the Twin City Times

Auburn Ward 4 City Councilor

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.
