Steve was in a bad accident around noon on March 2. He was pinned between the roll bar of his tractor and a tree. Sharon heard it happen and got Stewart to free him. He was airlifted to EMMC in Bangor where in the ICU. They have him in a medically induced comma hoping to stabilize his vital signs before trying to determine the full extent of the damage and discuss treatment. Both lungs were nearly crushed, many ribs were broken and because he didn't get much oxygen for several minutes there may be brain damage. Thank you for your prayers. Check back for updates as we get more information. Seth and family By Diana Bowley of the BDN Staff: DEXTER, Maine — A man who fled from police Sunday during a probation check was arrested about two hours later and charged with burglary and violation of bail conditions. Dexter police Officer Gary Morin had gone to the home of Chad Beal, 20, on Dover Road at 11 a.m. for a probation check when Beal bolted from his home, Cpl. Kevin Wintle said Monday. Beal’s probation stipulated that he have no contact with his girlfriend, and she was at his home when Morin arrived, Wintle said. Dexter police, assisted by Piscataquis County Deputy Dave Wilson and Penobscot County Deputy Jim Roy and his police dog, assisted in a search for Beal that went from Dover Road to Owlsboro Road, across Old Dover Road and Route 7, and on to Nelson Road, where Beal was arrested at 1:25 p.m., according to Wintle. Dexter firefighters assisted the officers by serving as spotters during the search. Beal was charged with a bail violation. He was not charged with escape because he had not been arrested when he bolted from police, according to Wintle. While being interrogated after his arrest, Beal allegedly confessed to an Oct. 13 break-in of a Cedar Street home in which about $10,000 worth of items was stolen, Wintle said. Beal also was charged with burglary. A laptop computer, a diamond ring, a camera and numerous pieces of jewelry were taken in the Cedar Street break-in, and only the camera has been recovered, Wintle said. Beal will make his initial court appearance on the charge of violation of bail on April 28 in Newport District Court, and on the burglary charge on April 22 in Penobscot County Superior Court. In an unrelated incident, Officer Daniel Cox arrested Steven Judkins, 52, of Prospect Street on Saturday after a family fight. Wintle said Judkins was charged with obstructing the report of a crime after he allegedly pulled a telephone from a wall. His initial court appearance is set for April 14 in Newport District Court. Also Saturday, Cpl. Alan Grinnell arrested Neal Scannell, 39, of Ripley on a charge of burglary in connection with a March 4 break-in on Eaton Road. Taken from the home were two rifles and a motorcycle helmet. Scannell also is accused of cutting the water line to the dishwasher, which flooded the kitchen floor of the home, Wintle said. The investigation is continuing and more charges may be pending, the officer said. Scannell is expected to make his initial court appearance on the charge on April 22 in Penobscot County Superior Court.

By Diana Bowley of the BDN Staff: GARLAND, Maine — Residents will vote on the town finance committee's recommendation to raise and appropriate $5,000 for the Garland School transition at the 10 a.m. Saturday, March 13, annual town meeting, at the Grange Hall. Residents voted last year to accept the elementary school, which will be vacated by SAD 46 at the close of school this year. Next fall, the pupils will attend the new Ridge View Community School in Dexter. Of the $5,000, half is the match for a grant the town intends to seek to study the feasibility of different uses for the school and the remainder is for maintenance. Residents also will act on a proposal to raise $52,000 for the operation of the Garland Transfer and Recycling Center, and eliminate the pay-by-the-bag fees. If this article fails, town officials have asked that residents appropriate $36,000 and keep the per-bag fees. With the economy in mind, town officials are seeking authorization to explore the possibility of sharing services with surrounding towns. Elections will include filling the posts of a selectman and an assessor.
By Diana Bowley of the BDN Staff: DEXTER, Maine — The newly named Ridge View Community School is expected to be completed before April 30, SAD 46 directors learned Wednesday. SAD 46 Superintendent Kevin Jordan told directors that Langford and Low Inc. of Portland, the contractor, expects to have all the work completed by then for the new pre-kindergarten through grade eight school. Directors this week authorized the maintenance department to relocate the superintendent's office, special education office and technology office to the new school on Fern Road as soon as practical. The remainder of the school equipment will be relocated after the close of school. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 7. Also on Wednesday, directors viewed sketches of the proposed signs that will be erected at the school entrance and on the school. A 4-inch granite sign at the entrance will bear the name of the school and of the sending towns of Ripley, Dexter, Garland and Exeter. The word "Ridge," which represents the first letters of each of the four communities, will be highlighted on the sign, as will the first letters in the names of the communities. The exterior sign mounted on the school will be 12 inches high and made of polished metal, Jordan said. A committee is looking into art to be installed for public display in the school. One percent of all state-funded building construction projects must be used for artwork in the new buildings by state law. Toward that end, Director Steven Foster strongly urged the committee to spend the approximately $50,000 wisely and to bring something back everyone could be proud of. In other business, directors accepted the resignation of Julianna Richard, principal of the Dexter Middle School and Exeter Consolidated School, at the end of the school year. Board chairman John Parola thanked Richard for her "tireless work" and her "leadership and knowledge," which he said were instrumental in keeping the new school project going.

By Dexter Town Manager David Pearson: It has been a hectic past couple of weeks. Sometimes it seems that the "faster I go, the behinder I get." There are a lot of issues that the Town is dealing with and some of them unwind faster than I want and others that I want to get done seem to slow down to damn-near immobility. I hate (HATE!) to use those bullet points to list off the issues, but I fear that I have no choice this week, since a long well-written explanation for each item (which is what I would dearly prefer) may be impossible given the pace around here lately.
