I had just walked into Lewiston City Hall on 20 August 2015 awaiting the start of a meeting at 3 pm on a Lewiston Historical Preservation Board Issue.
Seated, just outside the City Administration Office ‘s on a long wooden bench was a high school aged individual reading some printed material.
I asked if the individual was present for the Lewiston Historical Preservation Board Meeting.
The individual stated; she had just attended a pre-operational meeting with Mrs. Dorothy Whittier of the Lewiston Public Relation’s Office for the City of Lewiston, Maine regarding the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Council (LHSYAC).
( LHSYAC is a school organization that provides advise to the Lewiston City Council is being advised through Mrs. Dorothy Whittier ? )
I mentioned that I was running for Mayor of Lewiston, election to be held on 3 November 2015. And, that I was Mr. Charles A. Soule and I had a internet site, ” http://www.soule2015mayor.wordpress.com (now “2017”) should the individual like to view my on-line site.
At seeing me talking to the young adult; Mrs. D. Whittier, called the young adult student into another area.
A short period later; I, had an opportunity to continue my discussion with the young adult member of the Lewiston, Maine City Youth Advisory Council to the Lewiston City Council who was now seated on the Pine Street side of the Lewiston City Administration Building steps.
This young impressionable Lewiston High School Student had become distant and evasive to me and abruptly stated; that, Mrs. D. Whittier had told her that I had a year ago compared the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Council to the Lewiston, Maine City Council, a resemblance to the 1930’s ” Hitler Youth Organization “. ( I appreciated her candor as to challenging me an adult. It, showed me that she had the same courage that I had in challenging those in authority positions.)
I am of a firm belief; that, the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Council is being used as a tool to not allow the young adult’s of Lewiston, Maine High School to constitute their own options as to issues that are of a concern to them, their parents, community and that they are being manipulated by thought direction and assignment.
This incident with Mrs. Whittier, shows of the infiltration by the Lewiston School System by Lewiston Governmental Administrator’s and that this Lewiston Youth Advisory Council could and are being used to turn your children against parents and community on issues that are of concern to the community and parent’s of Lewiston, Maine as a whole and that children should not be involved in.
I have also stated this to the Lewiston and Auburn Joint Charter Commission on consolidation of the two cities; at a new compositional charter meeting; on the purposed make-up of the new council members (expected to be 11) and if there should be representatives of high school youth on the city council in an advisory role to the new city council.
I, add that; I would rather see a young adult come into their own ” wisdom, maturity and political rationalization rather than have it planted there by special interest groups.
Upon: hearing this statement from the impressionable member of the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Committee. I entered the Lewiston Administrative Office; where Mrs. Whittier’s Office is and confronted her.
I stated; why, would you Mrs. D. Whittier tell a young impressionable member of the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Council; what I had stated a year ago?
And; that she had just proved my assumptions about the comparative use of the term. ” Hitler Youth Organization ” and what it’s unintended or intended consequences could be in regards to the Lewiston High School’s Youth Advisory Council.
Remember, I have also stated this to the Lewiston and Auburn Joint Charter Commission; on consolidation of the two cities at a new compositional charter meeting; on the purposed make-up of the new city council members and if there should be representatives of the Lewiston High School and Edward Little High School student bodies represented in /on the new draft of the new City Council composition part of the New City Charter. (Ask; Mr. Gene Geiger)
And, that I would rather see a young adult’s mind come into their own ” wisdom – maturity and political rationalization “; rather, than to have it planted there by special interest groups in an effort to infiltrate the family dynamic and manipulated voter opinion.
By Mrs. D. Whittier’s action of telling this to the Individual; she has already infiltrated the opinion’s of the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Council against me and possibly my Mayoral Campaign election of 3 November 2015; should the individual express this to the rest of her peers.
Should the Lewiston and Auburn Joint Charter Commission adopt the perspective; of placing a student behind each new joint City Ward Councilor created by the passage of the new city charter; this could become problematic.
And then again, why is Mrs. D. Whittier; the Public Relations person for the City of Lewiston, Maine meeting with member’s of the Lewiston High Youth Advisory Council prior to Lewiston School’s opening and doses she hold a teacher certificate.
Where was the Lewiston High School Youth Advisory Council’s school adviser.

Then there is the fact that Lewiston, Maine’s Superintendent of Schools Mr. William Webster allow student without “Parents Permission Slip” to skip school for the day with printed signs made at the taxpayers expense at the school facilities advocating for the new MEGA SCHOOL and allowed the students to stand outside along the highways at Lewiston, Maine’s voting places. This was done to approve the school ballot measure; as, the new school vote in June of 2016 had failed on first attempt.
