Philip Toher, of Bancroft Contracting in South Paris, makes an adjustment on the Frye Island ferry ramp on the Raymond Cape side. Toher was adjusting the system of weights and pulleys that allows the ramp to be raised and lowered depending on water level. The first ferry run in 2005 is 7 a.m. on April 29, always a sure sign that summer is just around the corner. Staff photo by John Balentine
