LEWISTON – The Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce will be the setting for the debut of the Lewiston Youth Advisory Council’s recently completed “news broadcast” video regarding the Lewiston’s historic 1891 E. Howard clock relocation. The video will be shown at the Aug. 14 Chamber of Commerce breakfast at Martindale Country Club, Auburn.

“The video is a sterling effort by these young people, and we are pleased to show their work to members of the community,” notes Chamber President Charles “Chip” Morrison.

The video focuses on all aspects of the proposed multi-level timepiece siting at City Hall. Formerly located in Lewiston City Hall’s tower, plans for the project include an encased display on the building’s second floor landing with a 14-foot encased swinging pendulum extending through the floor to the 27 Pine St. entrance on the first floor.

New clock faces in the building’s tower will show the correct time. The estimated cost for the clock relocation is $20,000, and community donations, both financial and in-kind, are being sought by the youth council.

Interviewed in the video were Rick Balzer of Balzer Family Clock Works, who restored the clock, and city engineer Mike Paradis. In the video, council President Renee Bernier also encourages the community to become involved with the project.

Featured youth in the video, who either portrayed broadcast anchors or on-the-spot reporters are: Tarrah Bowen, Katie Lauze, Ryan Reed, Lisa Kimball, Jonathan Isacco and Tim Williams.
