FRYEBURG, Maine — Selectman Tom Klinepeter, who is also an on-call firefighter, took The Conway Daily Sun to task for running a front-page photo of a tree that snapped and fell across Route 5 in Lovell.
The photo, taken by Sun Publisher Mark Guerringue, was published in the Dec. 20 edition. It shows a blue Subaru that made its way under a huge pine tree that was snapped in half. In the background, a man identified as Bruce Harvey of Rangeley, Maine, walks toward the tree to see if his pickup and trailer would fit under it. Harvey opted to turn around, according to Guerringue.
