Energy Technology Council of Maine (E2Tech) and Maine Clean Communities (MC2) hosted more than 120 attendees at a two-part forum and workshop on electric vehicles (EVs) and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles at Texas Instruments in South Portland on October 25. Instructor Eddie Driscoll brought his Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Aided Drafting class to the forum “to promote the concept of learning outside the classroom and stimulate their interest in becoming part of Maine’s future technology workforce.” BRCOT serves high school students from Biddeford, Thornton Academy, Kennebunk, Old Orchard Beach, and Massabesic.
WellS – The Maine Diner, an award-winning family-owned restaurant on Route 1 is awarding annual academic scholarships to deserving Wells High School student-athletes in honor of former Maine Diner owner Myles Henry. To date, two students have been awarded the scholarships. Applications for 2013 graduates are being accepted at this time. “The transportation sector is the largest source of energy costs and petroleum use in Maine,” said E2Tech executive director Jeff Marks. “We want to encourage high school and college students to become engaged in the innovation industry in Maine and help find solutions to reduce our dependence on oil, improve the environment and save money. What better way to do this than introduce them to Maine’s best engineers, business owners and energy experts? And, having cool, environmentally friendly sports cars on hand doesn’t hurt either.” “It’s not too often you get to see 89 miles per gallon with that kind of horsepower,” said Connor Morrison, a BRCOT senior from Biddeford after sitting in the driver’s seat of the Tesla Roadster electric sports car.

Henry, one of the beloved owners of the Maine Diner, died unexpectedly in 2010. To know Myles was to know of his love of sports - all sports - whether it was golfing, basketball, surfing, baseball, football and even curling. To celebrate this love, his close friend Vinny LoBello helped to set up The Myles Henry Scholarship Fund. The $1,000 scholarship recognizes a Wells High School student athlete senior “who exhibits honesty, sportsmanship, integrity, passion and enthusiasm on and off the field of play.” Each year essay submissions are reviewed and chosen by
Henry’s wife Trisha Wilson. “When I read through these essays I try and read them through the eyes of my husband, looking for the essay that embodies the essence of the scholarship the best,” Wilson said. “It is a very emotional and meaningful night for Vinny and I when we stand up and give out the award. We both loved Myles so much. I am so proud of what he has done, creating such a sense of community. It means so much to me.” The first recipient of the See SCHOLARS page 39...
