As of now, there can be no home games at Forbes Field in the spring of 2014 because the newly planted grass will not be
established enough to endure any foot traffic. Kylie Mason, Senior Landscape Architect with
Sebago Technics is very optimistic about the overall project to renovate the WOCSD athletic fields. “It’s not often that you see projects of this size funded, designed, awarded and then under construction within a three month period.” said Mason. “This is something the community of Wells and Ogunquit should be proud of. Not only is the community supporting it, but the different trades and design teams are coming together to make it happen within the same year. This is a big cooperative effort.” Mason says that the goal is to have the entire field project done by the end of November of 2013. According to Project En-
gineer Craig Burgess of Sebago Technics it is Sebago Technics that has designed the field renovation project and will provide construction inspections. The firm acting as the project manager for the entire field renovation project is Lavallee Brensinger Architects of Manchester, New Hampshire. Groundskeeper David Norton perhaps best summed up the project and what it means to the District and community. “It is going to be so nice to have this much money to put into the fields for the students, the town and the faculty. Everyone can see this is Wells-Ogunquit. This is the way we keep things,” Norton said. For more information, contact Reg Bennet at rebennet@wocsd.org or call 207-6468331.
Go Red Event Set for October 22 KENNEBUNKPORT – The 9th annual Go Red For Women event for York County is scheduled for October 22nd at The Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport. This American Heart Association (AHA) event is aimed at raising both awareness and funds to combat cardiovascular diseases among women. Lisa Randall, Vice President of Asset and Liability at Kennebunk Savings, is the 2013 Event Chairwoman and has set a goal to raise $30,000. “Our goal with this event is to elevate heart disease and heart health as a top-of-mind issue for women. Most women don’t notice the symptoms of heart disease until it’s too late. That’s why heart disease has been called the silent killer,” said Randall. “For more than 10 years, women have been fighting heart disease individually and together as part of the Go Red For Women movement. More than 650,000 women’s lives have been saved, but the fight is far from over.” The event will begin at
4:00 p.m. with a silent auction, followed by three educational breakout sessions, healthy heart screenings, and a dinner program emceed by WMTW-8 TV Anchor Tracy Sabol. York heart disease survivor Dwyer Leahy Vessey will share her story of an unexpected mid-life diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Vessey will share why the awareness and education of the Go Red movement helped save her life and will encourage guests to pay attention to their hearts. Denise Rubin, owner of On the Marsh Bistro in Kennebunk and a York resident, will receive the AHA’s 2013 Crystal Heart Award which is presented each year to a local woman who has made a positive impact in her community. Southern Maine Medical Center and Goodall Hospital will provide Healthy Heart Screenings for guests to get their cholesterol and blood pressure checked. According to the AHA, knowing your numbers and learning how to control See RED page 7...
