PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Independent Maine candidate Eliot Cutler says he is not backing out of the race despite increasing pressure from some voters who see him as a spoiler. Cutler reiterated his earlier statement that if voters don't believe he can win, they should vote for someone else. He says he is encouraging Maine voters to vote with their conscience. He says he faces long odds, but still believes he can win the race.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A federal judge says part of a free speech lawsuit against Maine's largest city is dismissed because Portland repealed a buffer zone keeping anti-abortion protesters away from a Planned Parenthood entrance.

BRISTOL A New Britain paving contractor arrested earlier on charges of scamming clients is being held on bond on charges he has continued to prey on the elderly.

Brian Curylo, 28, of 41 Pleasant St., faces new charges that he forged several checks totaling more then $3,300 from two elderly clients.

In one of the cases, police said, Curylo, in late August allegedly told an 83-year-old woman with vision problems that he would seal a crack in her driveway for $25. When the woman had trouble writing him the check, he offered to fill it out, instead making it out for $850, according to his arrest warrant.

On Aug. 22, the warrant said, he stole five blank checks from a client who reportedly had dementia. The checks were later cashed between Aug. 22 and Sept. 8, totaling $2,475.

The elderly client told police Curylo must have taken the checks when he allowed him into his home.

Curylo was arrested in connection with the incidents earlier this month and charged with offering home repairs without a license, second-degree larceny, third-degree larceny and seven counts of third-degree forgery.

At his arraignment on Monday in Bristol Superior Court, he pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Police previously said they had received numerous complaints about Curylo for allegedly not finishing driveway work he promised to do under his New Britain company, Hot Top Paving.

TOPEKA, KAN. ----- An Oklahoma door-to-door paving operation was ordered to pay a $100,000 penalty and more than $13,000 in restitution to two Kansas consumers for violating Kansas consumer protection laws, Attorney General Derek Schmidt said.

In a default judgment entered this week in Shawnee County District Court, Judge Rebecca Crotty ordered Will J. Harrison, Jr., doing business as Wester Construction and Will Harrison Paving, to pay the civil penalty. The company was accused of engaging in unfair and deceptive practices while selling paving services door-to-door.

In addition to the civil penalty, Harrison was ordered to repay a total of $13,300 to two Kansas consumers.

Schmidt warned consumers to be especially cautious of door-to-door home repair sales which claim to offer a good deal.

Consumers should be on the lookout for these fly-by-night operations looking to make a quick buck, Schmidt said. Kansans who are in need of driveway repairs should seek out local, reputable contractors and get multiple written estimates before having any work done.

More tips on staying safe from home repair scams are available on the attorney generals consumer protection website at http://www.InYourCornerKansas.org .

Oklahoma pavers to pay $100,000 penalty, restitution to Kansas consumers

How big a deal is MotoGP in Asia, and especially in Malaysia? There were officially 81,896 spectators at the Sepang International Circuit on Sunday for the races. That is a lot. To put it in perspective, it is the seventh highest attendance of the year, more than either of the US rounds of MotoGP, more than Silverstone, more than either of the Italian rounds.

There were 4,400 more spectators at Sepang than at Mugello. That is quite a turnaround: in 2000, the second year MotoGP was held at the circuit, only 32,375 people attended the race, spread over all three days. The three-day total is now close to 131,000.

It is testament to both the growing wealth of the region and the growing popularity of the sport. In the podium press conference, Valentino Rossi reflected on the change. For a long period, we have no people on Sunday, he said. Little by little attendance had grown, until now, it is a race with an atmosphere all of its own.

Now it is full, the atmosphere on the main straight is like Barcelona or Mugello. The guys are crazy for MotoGP. It was a great victory for the sport, he said. Given that those 82,000 people are mostly sitting outside, in tropical temperatures of 36C and humidity of over 50%, those guys (and gals) must indeed be crazy for MotoGP.

Their efforts were amply rewarded on Sunday, with three superb races. They saw records equaled in MotoGP, a richly-deserved title tied up in Moto2, and an exhilarating and incident-packed battle in Moto3, which sets up a grand finale for the Moto3 title at Valencia. Reason enough to come back again in force in 2015, with the added benefit of seeing the circuit fielding its own team in Moto3 next year.

CHURCH HILL Laurel Run Park gives hikers access to some challenging wilderness trails, but the road leading into the park has become almost as rugged as the trails and an adventure to traverse in itself.

That's a problem Hawkins County leaders would like to deal with sooner rather than later because the worse the road conditions become, the more expensive the road will be to repair.

On Tuesday the Hawkins County Commission's Parks Committee voted unanimously to ask the Budget Committee if it would consider using reserves from the county general fund to pave the park's internal roadway.

Parks Committee members Joe McLain and Glenda Davis both sit on the Budget Committee. They agreed to raise the issue at the next Budget Committee meeting, scheduled for Nov. 17.

The area proposed for paving is from the park entrance gate to the area near the public restrooms, which is basically the same roadway inside the park that's currently paved, and doesn't include gravel parking areas.

Although the park is county owned, the roadway inside the gate isn't a county road. Legally it's treated like a private driveway. That means the road isn't maintained by the county highway department as part of the county road system.

W.L. Construction is the Hawkins County Highway Department's low bidder for contracted paving projects.

Hawkins County facilities manager Alana Roberts told the committee Tuesday she asked highway superintendent Lowell Bean to obtain an estimate from W.L. Construction for paving the park's internal road. The estimate came back at $55,900 for 2-inch-thick pavement and $41,925 for 1.5 inches thick.

Committee seeks county funding to pave roadway in Laurel Run Park

Authorities are warning of unlicensed repairmen coming into the city after they say an Orangeburg resident was taken in a driveway scam.

Police on patrol Wednesday noticed a pair of workers at a Perryclear Road residence doing what looked like paint work to the driveway. Officers remembered workers were at the same residence last week, the report says.

Officers asked the two North Augusta men what they were doing. The men said they were repairing the seniors driveway. They admitted they had been out the previous week to do the same job. When officers asked for their business license, they had none.

The men said they charged $120 to seal the driveway each time. The homeowner couldnt remember how much they charged, the report states. They went on to say they were looking for paving work, but officers noted their equipment was a sprayer and a five gallon bucket of metal roof sealant.

The men were cited for having no business license. When they were found to have no drivers license, their 2013 Dodge truck was towed. They were also placed on no trespassing notice.

Theyve been in Orangeburg before and police say they may be back again.

Orangeburg Department of Public Safety Capt. Ed Conner said the majority of genuine repair service businesses will not go door to door. But should anyone have such a visit, there are precautions that can be taken.

As a resident, they have the right to ask for their business permit and solicitation permit, Conner said. Any legitimate business will have both of these.

To operate in the city of Orangeburg, a business permit is required. To go door to door, a solicitation permit is required.

Authorities say the majority of the traveling scammers use fake repair services such as roof repair with shoddy or even no materials used, thinned-down paint and driveway scams.
