YORK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The York Board of Selectmen held an emergency meeting Monday morning to discuss their options to pay for mounting storm clean-up costs in the wake of a microburst which hit the town last week.

While selectmen could not agree on allocating money from the town's contingency fund to pay for overtime expenses and to reimburse contractors who helped remove trees from blocked roads, town manager Robert Yandow says the town will take action soon to pay for the emergency response and clean-up.

"We've been through this before. We know what it takes," stated Yandow. "Contractors will get paid. Everybody will get paid. At this point, it is just a matter of where those funds come from."

ELIOT, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Why did the turtle cross the road? For the few turtles brave enough to try crossing Route 236, trying to reach the other side is no joke, but a walk on the wild side.

"I would say that Route 236 is a particularly treacherous road for turtles," stated Inland Fish and Wildlife biologist, Derek Yorks.

The state has received numerous reports of turtles being struck along this section of road. Now, a small team of biologists are working with the Maine Department of Transportation to come up with a plan to protect them.

"That is kind of why we are here today, to kind of explore some of those options and think about how realistic some of them might be," said Yorks.

KITTERY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- State Police are taking part in a national truck safety event this week, dubbed by their federal counterparts as Operation Road Check. The 72-hour effort is undertaken to make sure trucks and buses are being operated properly, are free of mechanical defects and that drivers are logging their time behind the wheel and taking breaks as required by law.

"Your average truck is going to have a violation somewhere," stated Sgt. Jason Sattler. "They put a lot of miles on their vehicles. It is not unusual for a truck to have over a million miles. When's the last time you drove your car a million miles?"

Inspectors give the majority of the trucks that pull off into the weigh areas off the Maine Turnpike a cursory inspection before sending them on their way, but others that catch their attention are pulled aside for a more thorough look.
