Have You Had Work Done by "Bath Fitter"? If So, You Have a FREE Inspection Coming Your Way!

Reminder: Maine Bath Fitter Customers Entitled to Free Inspection

07/01/2015 03:53 PM EDT

(AUGUSTA) The Attorney General Janet T. Mills reminds consumers who received services from National Bath Systems, LLC, d/b/a Bath Fitter ("Bath Fitter"), that the deadline to request an inspection of their bath installation is September 1, 2015.

Attorney General Mills previously alleged that Bath Fitter engaged in unlicensed plumbing activities, used non-conforming construction contracts, installed plumbing before a plumbing permit issued, misrepresented employees' license status, and engaged in plumbing installations that may violate the Maine State Internal Plumbing Code.

Upon timely request by any homeowner with a Bath Fitter plumbing installation, Bath Fitter will provide a free inspection of the installation by an independent licensed plumber to determine compliance with the plumbing code. If the plumbing does not comply with the code, permits and corrections will be made at no cost to the consumer. Consumers have until September 1, 2015 to request a free inspection.

If you have a Bath Fitter installation in your home and wish a free inspection for compliance, please call Bath Fitter at 1-855-798-4646.

Voters Reject National Park by Wide Margin. No National Park for Maine at This Time.

Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry are announcing today that the former Roxanne Quimby property will NOT be designated as a National Park as local voters in Medway and East Millinocket turned out to reject the idea in a BIG WAY!!

 

 

 

Two nonbinding referendums on the 150,000-acre North Woods national park proposed by former Maine resident Roxanne Quimby were held recently. Proponents plan to donate 75,000 acres for a park and an additional 75,000 acres for certain recreational use to the National Park Service, generate 400 to 1,000 jobs and be maintained by $40 million in private endowments. 

A significant majority of voters in Medway and East Millinocket rejected the creation of a new national park next to Baxter State Park for several reasons, including:

•  National park status brings additional unwanted federal authority into northern Maine, generates seasonal jobs and expands federal influence far beyond 150,000 acres. This is particularly true with respect to restrictions on hunting, snowmobiling and other business opportunities.

• National parks that are used as comparisons to predict job growth have no relation to the proposed Maine national park. Most are adjacent to huge population centers which readily provide attendance. Acadia Park with easy automobile access to many spectacular sites has little similarity to the deep woods wilderness experience, which made projected job numbers highly suspect to local voters.

•  The Millinocket/East Millinocket area is already very well-served by Baxter State Park. Most residents doubted that a national park would draw the numbers of additional tourists claimed by proponents. Maintaining the quality of the current Baxter State Park is already a challenge without drawing more visitors. 

•  The land in question does not match the natural beauty and uniqueness of other national parks. It has no distinctive features except for its westerly view of Katahdin and Baxter Park. This would be the first national park established to offer little more than views into a state park (Baxter State Park)

•  The park campaign owns less than 60 percent of the two proposed zones. Proponents propose to donate land that they do not currently own.

•  Significant timber will not be available to provide jobs and economic benefits to Maine in the future. The 150,000 acres proposed for the park represent over 50,000 cords of annual growth. Each cord contributes about $1,300 to the Maine economy.

•  Decisions on what takes place on the land would be made by the federal government listening to people outside of Maine. The proposed National park lands not owned by Roxanne Quimby is now open for recreational use without the National park restrictions. The proposed national park will isolate 2,500 acres of State of Maine public lands.

•  The National Park Service struggles with a maintenance backlog with its other national holdings. 

Maine Forest Service Set to Enforce State Firewood Ban For July 4th Weekend.

Maine Forest Service to enforce

State firewood ban this holiday weekend

 

 

Department Forest Rangers will inspect vehicles registered from outside Maine for firewood to help protect forests from destructive insects

AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Maine Forest Service will be present at several key visitor locations this Thursday and Friday, July 2-3. “Maine’s Rangers are working this holiday weekend in order to promote understanding and enforcement of Maine’s ban on imported firewood,” said Commissioner Walt Whitcomb. “The ban addresses the significant risk posed by movement of untreated firewood that may contain destructive insects.” 

The ban on imported firewood is part of a broader initiative within the Department to protect Maine’s forests and farms from new and exotic pest threats. The Forest Health & Monitoring program and the Bureau of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health program actively survey for known and potential pest threats, conducts trainings and public outreach to recognize and report potential pest threats. 

WHERE: Several key visitor locations (Contact Jeff Currier for exact locations)

WHEN: Thursday and Friday, July 2-3

WHO: Maine Forest Service Rangers

Maine Forest Service Rangers will inspect visible loads of firewood being carried by vehicles registered outside of Maine. They will talk to visitors about exotic pest threats, provide information to visitors, answer questions and hand out brochures. Illegally imported firewood will be confiscated. They will also have an increased presence at prominent private and public campgrounds over the holiday weekend.

Despite the disappointment of Monday night's game being called after only 3 innings due to rain, the Lebanon Babe Ruth Baseball Team, under the management of Mike Chambers, did not lose their momentum.

When the game resumed on Tuesday evening at 6 pm, the boys went on to win the Southern York County Championship in some amazing style, sealing their deal with a 7-0 win over South Berwick!!

Matt Chambers pitched 7 innings striking out 9 while giving up 3 walks and 2 base hits. Baley Coull went 3-4 with a in the park home run. Luke Carlock went 3-3 with 3 singles driving in 2 runs for Lebanon.

The team's final game of the season will be played in South Berwick either tonight or Thursday night.

Another win for Lebanon would make them undefeated this year with a 12W-0L-1 Tie.

Thanks to the coaches for this year's team who worked hard with the baseball players of Lebanon to achieve this victory!! Lebanon Babe Ruth 13-15 Year Old Coaches are Tom Coull, Clem Baxter and Caleb Chambers.

First Rescue Calls of Lebanon's Fiscal Year 2015-16 Come Back to Back with Phenomenal Response.

 

With taxpayers voting to combine Fire and Rescue services into one department, and Chief Daniel Meehan working with agencies from Sanford, Maine and Frisbie Hospital EMS, the first calls of the fiscal year 2015-16, and the newly staffed Lebanon Fire and Rescue Department, came in back to back this morning. Call 1 answered by Lebanon's Rescue 2 with a Frisbie EMS Paramedic intercept. Call 2 only moments later answered by Sanford EMS on a Mutual Aid call.

Taking first shift for Lebanon's newly combined Department, EMT/Firefighter Windy Rudnicki and EMT Sara Christiansen had the patient out of the home and in the ambulance just as Frisbie EMS came racing down Bigelow Road.

It feels wonderful listening to this playing out on the scanner and hearing not only our newly staffed department, but our Mutual Aid Responders all working together like a well oiled machine.

We hope to hear more good news regarding response times, Mutual Aid agreements, and more......

Keep up the GREAT work Chief Meehan and Lebanon Fire and Rescue!!!
