  • WSThe Weekly Sentinel 3November 1, 2013

    Why does Wells-Ogunquit Need to Renovate the High School? There are two primary reasons the High School needs to be renovated: 1) due to underlying infrastructure issues, its accreditation is currently in a warning status from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and 2) it is outdated for the learning requirements of the 21st century.

    What if the bond does not pass? If the bond does not pass, the WOCSD will still need to fix the underlying infrastructure issues, at an early estimate of $5 to $8M, which will occur piecemeal through the annual operating budget, most likely in a less fiscally efficient manner. By investing in these renovations, we address all outstanding infrastructure issues and provide our students with a modern learning facility.

    How was the current plan developed? Has the community been informed and involved along the way? The current plan was created by the Building Committee made up of community members from both Wells and Ogunquit. It was selected because it was the most cost-conscious option meeting the needs defined. The public is always invited and their input is welcome at all Building Committee meetings. Members of the Building Committee, the School Committee, and other interested citizens have also shared information about the project by visiting over 35 community events this past year ranging from athletic events, Turkey Dinners, Senior Center events, Rotary Meetings, School Open Houses, the Transfer Station, Band and Arts events, and Awards Nights at the schools. Most recently, there was a third public hearing on Oct 2nd that was open to all in the community.

    Where can I get details about the plan and the Building Committee? The School District webpage, http://www.k12wocsd.net/, contains details about the proposed plan and renderings of the proposed facility, along with all agendas and minutes from the Building Committee meetings, which are open to the public.

    What is the total project cost? Can you break down the budget into categories? The total budgeted amount is $26.85 million, which breaks down as follows:

    Construction Costs ............................................................... $22,511,315.00Construction Contingency ......................................................$1,000,000.00On-Site Testing and Inspections .................................................$50,000.00Clerk of Works/Owner Rep (24 mos) ........................................$150,000.00Soft Costs (design, engineering, site permits, utilities)..........$1,837,756.00Furniture, Equipment, Technology .........................................$1,300,929.00

    The budget of $28.65 million is large. Who will manage that money and ensure we stay on budget? The budget will be managed by the Schools Business Manager. All work at the site will be overseen by a town-contracted Clerk of the Works, whose role is to ensure the taxpayers interests are always met.

    Why are the High School classrooms so outdated given the building is only 36 years old? The current school was built in 1977 and was not designed to support the technology required to prepare our students for the jobs of today. Currently, the top 10 jobs in America are in technology or heath care. The fastest growing job is a network systems and data communications analyst. Our students are competing with students around the world and the new academic wing will provide the educational resources needed to prepare them for that competition and the jobs of the 21st century.

    Didnt we just approve funding for something at the High School? What other expenditures/improvements are already in the works? Yes. Most recently, voters approved an $858K expenditure to update the athletic fields and work is currently underway on the soccer, track, and baseball fields behind the Junior High School, which will continue into spring 2014. Our basketball court was just redone using funds from the schools operating budget, and in 2011, $50K was spent on an interim re-sodding of the football field to address safety concerns. Finally, the School Committee has approved funding to reinstate a Fields Manager who will have responsibility for maintaining all outdoor athletic facilities.

    Have any contractors been awarded the bid for the proposed High School renovations? Not yet. With a yes vote on Nov 5th the final design will be developed by the architects and then the work will be put out to contractors to bid.

    What is the scope of work? What percentage is new? What percentage is renovated? A brand new 81,000 s.f. academic building will be constructed. The cafeteria, athletic wing, and existing auditorium will be renovated. Currently the auditorium can accommodate half of the student body; the renovated auditorium will create seating capacity equal to student enrollment. Renovation to the athletic wing creates a second gymnasium which will allow sports practice sessions. The cafeteria size will also substantially increase.

    What is the cost per family for the proposed plan? Projected tax impact per $100,000 assessed property value (based on 2012 evaluation and 3% bond) is $49 for Ogunquit and $61 for Wells. We are working to finance with a lower bond rate, which could result in a reduction in this per household cost.

    Is there still an opportunity for me to get involved? Absolutely! From now until the vote on Nov 5th, we need volunteers to share these FAQs with others. If there is a yes vote on Nov 5th, the Building Committee will establish specific subcommittees to examine critical areas (e.g., Energy, Safety, etc.) and will proceed to a design development phase with additional opportunities for the public to be involved in defining the design. If you are interested in getting involved, email [email protected] or [email protected].

    What green technology is a part of the new school design? Are there energy saving measures in the renovation? Are you open to renewable forms of energy? YES! We are very interested in renewable forms of energy which return on the initial investment. The entire design of the new High School is about sustainability, flexibility, and the future. Due to its cost at this time, we are unable to install a full geothermal or solar panels system, but the design can accommodate these systems in the future.

    The current fuel planned for the project is natural gas, which is expected to be provided to the campus before the renovations would be complete. Geothermal systems currently have a very expensive up-front cost, but when the cost for geothermal systems becomes more affordable, the piping within the building are designed to switch over to work with geothermal/earth coupling systems without any modification.

    Solar panels have the same up-front cost issues as geothermal. As with geothermal, to prepare for the future lower costs or new solar collector options, the electrical system is designed to accept on-site power generation whether it is from on-site natural gas, co-generation, or solar panels.

    Solar hot water collectors are planned for use to pre-treat the domestic hot water demands. Solar panels would be on the roof, connected to the hot water loop to warm up the potable water before it flows through the hot water heater.

    Passive solar heating is also planned in the design of the new academic wing third floor to take advantage of the southern exposure. The entire new academic wing would face north to maximize daylight harvesting without any solar glare.

    Natural light is an integral part of the design model. Not only does it make for a more atheistically pleasing environment, proper daylight use can decrease lighting costs significantly. This daylight harvesting, in combination with daylight sensors would reduce the need for electrically powered lighting.

    Have you considered using a heating system that could run on natural gas or wood pellets with minor modifications? (Wood pellets are now the least-expensive fuel source in Maine, even cheaper than natural gas.) We have looked into several energy options. Natural gas provides the best value at this time and for the foreseeable future, therefore, natural gas will be brought to the High School, the other schools, and will be available for the Town Hall and possibly the Library, as well. Multi-fuel is an option as long as you mean different liquid/gas fuel types. Wood pellet/chip boilers require significant up-front costs, which were considered, but were not budgeted in this proposal.

    Why are you demolishing the current academic wing? And why wait until the end of the project for demolition? It would have cost $4.5 million to renovate the academic portion of the building, which would not have been commensurate with the value of the completed space. This current plan is a better return on our investment. And, using the current academic wing during construction will save the roughly $500,000 it would cost for portable classrooms.

    Will a fire sprinkler system be added to the renovated areas of the building? Yes. The building will be fully covered by sprinklers and the life safety systems will meet all current building codes.

    How will you use the space created by demolishing the current academic area? The new space will become part of the new bus loop, new fire lane, dedicated access to the performing arts center, and an outdoor space for student learning/seating for lunch. After the bond is approved, the building committee will make final plans for exterior spaces.

    With enrollment projected to remain flat or even decline in the coming decades, why are you adding classroom space? A slightly larger building is needed for several reasons. Many current spaces fall below the state recommended guidelines for space per student. Current education methods emphasize differentiated instruction as well as collaborative projects, both of these require more flexible spaces. The renovated school will also have an open commons area which is not only something the students asked for but also allows clear sight lines for staff as they oversee the school.

    What is the construction schedule? If the vote is yes on Nov 5th, the tentative construction schedule is: construction start in Spring of 2014, academic wing complete December 2015, renovations complete September 2016.

    Can you clearly explain how you plan to build and utilize vocational spaces? The new concept design will incorporate a new space for vocational studies. It will be centrally located near Math and Science classrooms. The idea is to create a Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics and a STEM + Arts = STEAM approach to the vocational program at WHS.

    What if we grow larger? How would you expand? The new building will have a capacity of 450 to a bubble of 475. The projected enrollment for 2021 is 440. If needed, the design allows for an addition off the southeast portion of the academic wing.

    How do you plan to address the parking issues present on the entire campus? The redesign of the current parking lot will provide additional parking, along with plans for additional parking in the current academic wing/athletic fields area.

    How can I keep up-to-date on the Building Committee Activities? You can keep up to date by visiting the School Districts webpage: www.k12wocsd.net/ or liking us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/newwellshighschool.

    When crews arrived, they located a 30-year-old female patient who had an approxi-mately 12-foot tree limb come down onto her while she was walking her dog. The tree limb appeared to have fallen about 25-30 feet and broke when it landed on her head.

    The female was trans-ported by Lebanon ambulance to Goodall Hospital in Sanford for what appear to be non-life threatening injuries.

    The wind had picked up and was showing about 15-20mph just prior to the ac-cident. There were a few dead tree limbs on the tree and this one came down when the wind

    In conjunction with his Friday night lecture on Simplic-ity Parenting, Payne will offer attendees a Saturday morning workshop. Payne will help par-ents create their own Simplicity Menu for their family, breaking it down into five layers: simplify the environment (books, toys, etc), mealtimes and food, schedule and information.

    Payne notes, You choose whatever fits naturally for your family life, adding, Its about warmth and connecting. In sim-plifying parenting we get closer to our children.

    At both events, Payne will debut and offer for sale his books including his most recent book, The Soul of Discipline and Whole Child Sports :How to Navi-gate Child & Youth Sports. Payne will be available for book signing.

    Payne has been a school counselor, adult educator, consul-tant, researcher, educator and pri-vate family counselor for 27 years.

    The lecture on Friday, Nov. 1 will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will be $15 per person. The workshop on Saturday, Nov. 2 will take place form 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will be $45 per person.

    LEBANON - The Lebanon Rescue De-

    partment responded to a resi-dence on Smith Road in East Lebanon on Thursday morning,

    Oct. 24 for the report of a tree limb that had come down on a female patient who had a head injury. The accident happened a short time before 9:45 a.m.

    picked up. Fortunately the female had left a small child inside the house. Even though the branch was rotten, it was still very heavy. It appears to be just a freak accident. Assistant Chief Jason Cole.

    This is the time of the year that we encourage home-owners to check for dead or rot-ting tree limbs when the leaves fall and before the heavy snow comes in. Once a tree dies, it can take 6 months to a year sometimes for limbs to start to fall. The trees can fall with the wind or snow and land on property or even worse, people, like in todays incident, Cole added.

    KENNEBUNK - Mainely Murders Book-

    store in downtown Kennebunk is going to the dogs and cats in November. Throughout the month, it is asking customers and non-customers to make donations of pet food for the Animal Welfare Society.

    Its the second consecu-tive year that the three-year-old bookstore has come to the aid of animals. At the months end, owners Ann Whetstone and Paula Keeney will match all do-nations.

    Whetstone says that while the small Bourne Street shop itself is off-limits to dogs, they enjoy people stopping by with their pets.

    We have a bright red hitch-ing post, a gift from customers, and theres always a bowl of fresh water right outside the door and a supply of dog cookies behind the counter, said Whetstone.

    The food collection drive isnt, however, just motivated

    by their affinity for animals. Keeney says dogs and cats figure in a myriad of mystery titles. Indeed, some writers, she says, have become highly identifiable by their dog and cat mysteries.

    And, trust me, she laughs, the animals are never the victims in these crime novels. Theyre, more likely than not, the hero.

    Writer Spencer Quinn has, in recent years, made his dog, Chet, not only the star of his Chet and Bernie series, but the narrator, too.

    David Rosenfelt, who now resides in Maine, has become as well known for his golden retriever rescue organization as he has for his books. His series featuring Andy Carpenter, an irreverent defense attorney in Paterson, N.J. nearly all come with his trademark dog cover and carry suitable names, like Leader of the Pack, One Dog Night, and Dog Tags.

    ~ News ~

    Dear Wells Friends & Neighbors,We have little doubt that the Town of Wells needs a new high school,

    and commend the School Board for bringing that fact to our attention and for the hard work that has been done in the planning stages. Their proposal for renovation and new construction represents an important first step in updating Wells High School.

    The Boards brochure states that it is designed for 21st century educational needs, but there is a serious problem: it is not designed for 21st century energy needs. In spite of several significant energy saving features, the building will still be heated exclusively by oil or natural gas. All or most of the electricity for the building will come from the grid, which at the present time is primarily generated from greenhouse gas-producing, non-renewable fuels.

    The proposal is not sufficiently responsive to the environmental impacts already attributed to global warming, and the increasingly dire predictions made by all the worlds major scientific organizations, for climate change in the years ahead. We can do better than that much better. Our schools are a community statement, and every person in this community bears a responsibility to help in the abatement of greenhouse gases.

    There are many potential solutions: (1) Utilize photovoltaic panels a proven technology to generate electricity. (2) Expand the insulating characteristics of the building envelope. (3) Utilize electric heat pumps, also powered by photovoltaic panels. (4) Install heat exchanging solar panels to provide hot water for the athletic program and the cafeteria. (5) Take another look at geothermal heating, as well as biomass heating systems.

    It is extremely ironic that we would consider building a school for our children which so clearly contributes to the ravages of climate change, when we should be doing just the opposite protecting them from future harm. What will they be learning from our example?

    If the School Board had engaged residents through a series of well-publicized public meetings, ideas such as these could have been more thoroughly discussed and evaluated. So when we ask you to vote NO, what we are really asking is that you delay your approval until there is much more public input, and plans can be revised to make our new school more environmentally responsible. We owe this renewed effort to our children and our planet.

    in the U.S. have been in the con-struction industry, industrial products, real estate and food processing sectors.

    The U.S. Embassys Com-mercial Service, Dalegip, and our in-country representatives have helped us connect with new trade and investment contacts in both Mexico and Colom-bia, said Janine Bisaillon-Cary, president of Maine International Trade Center. We are excited to highlight the many assets Maine has, especially when it comes to manufacturing and distribution.

    Shively Labs, based in Bridgton, is one of the companies participating on the trade mission to seek new international sales. A manufacturer of broadcast equip-ment, Shively hopes to access the Mexican market for a very spe-cific opportunity: in 2009, the

    nization of Mexican investors in the United States, and the State of Maine Receptions in Mexico City and Bogota.

    He will also meet with a group of key business leaders from the rapidly expanding state of Queretaro, a major center of the automotive and aerospace in-dustries.

    Mexicos gross domestic product (GDP) has been a bright spot in the global economy over the past several years and is the United States second-largest export market and third-largest trading partner. In addition, Mexico has been a growing source of foreign investment in the United States and most recently Maine, where Dale-gip America Inc. is located an-nounced a joint venture partner-ship with Searsport-based GAC Chemical this past April.

    Major Mexican investments

    Maine needs to be more competitive across the globe, said Governor LePage. Our goal in Mexico and Colombia will be to develop additional contacts for private investment and promote Maine as a great place to study and invest.

    Governor LePage will make several presentations about in-vestment opportunities in Maine during the trip. He will speak at a meeting of the Association of Mexican Entrepreneurs, an orga-

    Oct. 27 for a five-day trade mis-sion to Mexico and Colombia. The mission, the third during the Governors administration, will take Maines delegation to the cities of Mexico City, Queretaro and Bogota.

    Nine Maine businesses and educational institutions will be featured during the mission, which seeks to create linkages between Maine and two of Latin Americas most successful econo-mies.

    YORK - During the early months

    of this year, worshipers at Union Congregational Church, in York Beach, were shivering through Sunday morning wor-ship services after the main heating unit for the Sanctuary failed and it was concluded that it was beyond repair.

    When the news circulated throughout the area that the his-toric church, which has served York Beach for 113 years, was facing a significant unbudgeted financial challenge, members of the community rose to assist. Subsequently, as a result of ap-

    peals by the church and action of community members, suffi-cient funds were generated and the installation of a new heating unit is in progress.

    The members and friends of Union Congregational Church wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to the com-munity at large. Significantly, to Tim Janis and Bill Thomson who donated the proceeds from

    a wonderful concert they per-formed on the churchs behalf, to Route One Blue grass and Drowned Valley Bluegrass groups for the proceeds of their concert, and especially to Knights Quilt Shop and Nor-mas Restaurant, as well as their customers, who made the raffle of a quilt possible which created

    efit from improved fields for sports activities, but the local economy is also receiving a benefit, as many of the companies involved in the project are based in the Wells-Ogunquit area.

    Although there are principal or primary contractors in place to guide and bring the project to completion, WOCSD Superinten-dent Ellen Schneider is pleased to point out that there are many local sub-contractors involved in sup-plying the $851,000 bond funded project with labor, material and services, eventually pouring a portion of the money back into the local economy.

    Although not all the main contractors are local, this does not preclude our local businesses from being involved, commented Su-

    WELLS -Work is rapidly progressing

    on the field rehabilitation project to improve the athletic fields of

    the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District.

    Not only will current and future students of the District ben-

    perintendent Schneider recently.Local contractors providing

    trucking services include Dean C. Ramsdell Landscaping of Wells, Abbott Brothers, Inc. of York and Shoreline Trucking of Wells. Sup-plying aggregate material for fill is Chase & Hamlyn, Inc. of Wells.

    Pike Industries, Inc. of Wells is contracted to provide paving and Anchor Fence of Kennebunk was selected to provide fencing. Concrete is being provided by R. Pepin & Sons, Inc. of Sanford and Maine Track & Tennis of Gray will construct a new running track at Wells Junior High School.

    Clearly the most significant

    component of the project includes the construction of an irrigation system that will service all of the Districts athletic fields with auto-mated watering.

    While Temple Well Drilling, Inc. of Bowdoinham was sub-con-tracted by Marquis Well & Pump to drill the irrigation well, it is Marquis Well & Pump of Sanford that is the main contractor for con-structing the irrigation system.

    Primary contractors for the field rehabilitation project include Environmental Solutions in Yar-mouth, SUR Construction, Inc. of Rochester, N.H. and Sebago Technics of South Portland.

    KENNEBUNK - Monday, Oct. 21, was a

    special day for the Kennebunk High School Robotics Team.

    Patrick Shrader, V.P. of Sales and Marketing at Arundel Machine Tool Company, pre-sented coaches Aaron Germana and Becky Test, and the mem-bers of the Robotics Team, with a $1,000 donation. The students were excited and plan to use the funds toward the purchase of ro-botic parts and competition en-trance fees.

    In 2011, Germana and Test wrote and received grants from The Education Foundation of the Kennebunks and Arundel and from the Perloff Founda-tion. These funds were used to develop the club, the team and the class as well as purchase LEGO Robotics kits and a re-source package.

    Germana also offers a Ro-botics class as an elective for high school students.

    The hope for this years team is to attend the regional competition in Bridgewater, Mass., and place in the finals. Final scores for this competi-

    tion include outside work in the groups design notebook, com-munity outreach, video docu-mentation, professionalism and cooperation.

    Shrader, a KHS graduate, understands the importance of robotics as an integral part of STEM, modern technology and high tech manufacturing. For his company to be competitive in this industry, which deals in areas such as aerospace, defense, optics, and telecommunications, workers need this type techno-logical experience.

    Arundel Machine Tool Company offers an internal mentoring training program for students who express a serious

    interest in the field. Shraders company also donates materials and time to schools in the area.

    Patrick Shrader of Arundel Machine Tool Company, presents Kennebunk High School Robotics team with a check for $1000.

    Church.On the second Sunday

    of every month, the Youth Group leads the congregation in an outreach effort. The first project began when the group learned of the desperate needs in Haiti and decided to assem-ble and donate birthing kits to the Konbit Sante Cap-Haitian Health Partnership. Partnering with the Haitian Ministry of Health through mobile clinics, Konbit Sante distributes 300 kits monthly to Haitian families in need. Canvas bags are filled with items essential to home de-livery and the first months of a babys life

    In October the youth, joined by others in the congre-gation, decorated canvas bags that will hold the contents of the birthing kits. The next step of filling the bags will take place in the parish hall on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 9:15 a.m. when all are in-vited to participate.

    York Hospital has gener-ously offered to contribute latex gloves and caps for newborns for the kits. Other items needed for each kit are; a small bar of soap, a piece of clean plastic sheet-ing (4 feet wide by 5 feet long), a piece of clean string 24 inches long, a packet of alcohol wipes, a packet (or travel container) of hand sanitizer like Purelle, a small receiving blanket (about

    tined for Haiti and Christmas

    trees have in common? Each is the focus of a service project for the Youth Group at St. Georges

    36 inches square), non-gender-specific infant clothing or a small infant-safe stuffed toy.

    The Youth Group also in-vites the community to partici-pate by donating needed items, which can be left at St. Georges Church. Monetary donations that will be used to purchase items from the list are also wel-come. Checks can be made out to St. Georges Church with birthing kits in the memo line and mailed to St. Georges Church, PO Box 364, York Harbor, ME 03911.

    A second service project involves the Youth Groups participation in the 8th Annual Festival of Fostering Trees at Fosters Clambake to benefit children in the Maine Foster Care System. As a part of the Service Project Sunday on Nov. 10, in addition to filling the birthing kits, the group will also work on ornaments for the St. Georges tree for the Festival.

The event of-fered delicious, hearty appetiz-ers, exciting auction items, and beautiful baskets created with help by local resident Catalina Bakas.

    YORK - The topic of bullying is prev-

    alent in our culture. How much do we really know of its occurrence, effects and solutions to the prob-lem? Bullying has gone far beyond the schoolyard. The Internet and social media provide a 21st centu-ry platform from which the target of bullying can be reached.

    On Tuesday Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., local author Katherine May-field will take a significant look at both the problem and a deeper un-derstanding of how to confront it.

    spite the tremendous efforts that have been made to stop the bul-lying epidemic, bullying is very prevalent. Regulations and anti-bullying laws are only partially effective. Whats missing is emo-tional intelligenceattention to the human side of the situation: the hearts and souls of bullies and their victims. Until the emotional side of the issue is addressed, the epidemic will most likely contin-ue.

    Mayfield will explain how learning the skills and tools of emotional intelligence can help

    bullies, victims and people who have been emotionally abused. By letting go of emotional discomfort, managing feelings, expressing them in healthy ways and build-ing self-esteem, one can reduce the intensity of emotion. It is this emo-tional intensity that causes bullies to bully and victims to take their lives in response to the abuse.

    Mayfield will also offer sug-gestions parents can use to help their kids cope with bullying, and answer questions after the presen-tation. Her book, Bullied, will be available for purchase and signing.

    Mayfield is the author of the award-winning memoir The Box of Daughter: Healing the Authentic Self. Her other cre-ations include Smart Actors, Foolish Choices, Acting A to Z, The Box of Daughter and Other Poems; and Dysfunc-tional Families: The Truth Behind the Happy Family Facade. She has taught writing at the York and Wells-Ogunquit Adult Education Centers.

    honor of her father, Lt. Edward C. Dahlgren, one of Maines Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.

    Called Maines own Sergeant York, a reference to Gary Coopers role in the movie about WWI Medal of Honor recipient, Dahlgren was a cou-rageous and humble man who

    never considered himself a hero. My dad was one of a very

    few Maine men to receive the Medal of Honor for his service during World War II. He also was one of the many veterans who suffered in silence for years with the effects of PTSD, said Daigneault. By sharing his struggles with the effects of war, I hope that other veterans and veterans families might ben-efit.

    Dahlgren was awarded the

    Medal of Honor by President Truman during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in 1945. According to Bangor Daily News archives,

    Dahlgren was honored for spearheading the rescue of a pla-toon of fellow soldiers that was

The app, spon-sored by Ford Motor Company, is designed to augment the program in its mission to address a need to improve roadway safety and teen driving behaviors. RoadReady is currently available on the App Store at no charge and will be made available to Android users in 2014.

    Its a great feeling to be arming parents and teens with a technologically-advanced, free toolkit that encourages their par-ticipation in the teen driver edu-cation process, said Secretary Dunlap. Not only are we provid-ing parents of permitted teens with a guide to assist them through the state required 70 hours of super-vised driving, but this new mobile app RoadReady will help parents to track the actual time they spent behind the wheel with their teen.

    Parents of teens obtaining their learners permit are given a copy of their driving instructor at the conclusion of the required parental involvement component of driver education. The program focuses on the role of the parent in the teen driver education pro-

    cess and is provided at no cost to families or to taxpayers thanks to sponsorship by Ford Motor Com-pany with support from Vermont Mutual Insurance and Irving Oil.

    Studies show that parents have a tendency to overestimate the amount of time they spend driving with their teen. Road-Read eliminates the question of overestimated time and allows parents and teens to focus on driving skills, roadway conditions and enhanced experiences as the app automatically and accurately tracks their time together.

    RoadReady also offers educational features, such as tips

    and suggestions to assist parents throughout the supervised driv-ing process and tracks roadway types and weather conditions to encourage parents and teens to spend more time driving together in a variety of conditions. The app offers the ability to print a driving log with a list of all supervised driving sessions, which can be returned to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) upon applying for a road test.
