Selectmen eye bids for grandstand rebuild in West Paris
WEST PARIS — Selectmen reviewed six bids for building a grandstand at the Harold C. Perham Athletic Complex on High Street and expect to make a decision July 23.
Three bids covered site and concrete work as well as construction: $68,000 by Scott Rainey, $77,000 by Lexmax Construction; and $82,000 by J.A. Haskel Builders. The rest covered only site and concrete work, or carpentry: $25,850 from Everett Excavation; $20,408 from T.K. Concrete; and $41,732 from Protech Builders.
The board will check references and comparisons before making a decision. It's hoped the project will be done later this year.
The 1945 grandstand was burned and the town and individuals have been raising money to replace it.
In other business, Town Manager John White told the board that the West Paris library expansion project is getting closer to being started. The cost is expected to be more than $330,000. The addition to the rear of the building will provide storage space, reading rooms and computer space. It is hoped the project can get under way soon, White said.

Ronald, If you have not
Ronald,
If you have not noticed, everything I’ve listed is a growth in the size of government, a growth in government spending or a program in crisis.
A tax cut does not belong in that list. While a tax cut may grow the size of the national debt, a tax cut does not necessarily grow the size of government nor does it increase spending.
Moreover, you selectively forgot to add your favorites, Bill Clinton and Obama, to your list of tax cutting presidents. Any reason why? Maybe your Cuban pharmacist is giving you placeboes!

Not surprising
It is not surprising that the Czarist and racist factions of the old "Conservatively" Russian front are continually becoming seen all over again. The entire facets of hatred and fear seem to be predated in concepts from Stalin and Hitler himself. Using the vileness of the "outsider" as the most dangerous among us. Mr. Nachman you remind me of a classmate of mine who had felt that as she was of Czech descent that my mothers lineage of Irish-Jewry made it so that I would have to kneel before here.
As a Baptist this is rather disappointing to see that for all of the physics based knowledge one can posses creating an air of fear is the only true self-gratification one can get. In fact this is a bondage between those in the systems of your own family as well. The racism and the scaffolded humanist rejections with an air of continual fear is little more then self-centered egotistical facets. It seems to thrive on fear and donations to establish a "cult" mandated sense of the opine in writing and creates a narrow minded view of those who think differently.
Mr. Nachman while you enjoy the daily purges of illegal "aliens" does any of this truthfully set you so far apart from Stalin or Hitler? The very nature of the article which you write is more of instilling fear toward others; then little more then that? Is this a case where in reverse desperation anyone not deemed American would have to kneel down before you? The questions becomes of the VDare project just how much of a diaspora it would create and exiles as well if they had ever been given enough control to expel other Americans.
