Based in Newport, Maine, Lakeside Concrete Cutting Inc. is a seasoned contractor specializing in concrete cutting, core drilling, and demolition services. With decades of experience and reliability, the company has grown into a key player in the regional construction industry. The company began with founder Earle Peters, who moved to Maine in the late 1970s as a union electrician working at the Sappi paper mill. In 1980, he launched his own electrical business, Lakeside Electric. By the 1990s, recognizing a growing demand for specialized concrete services, Peters began transitioning the business toward concrete cutting and core drilling. “He started core drilling for plumbing companies and eventually began cutting concrete,” said his son, Ryan Peters. The evolution culminated in 2012 when the company officially rebranded as Lakeside Concrete Cutting Inc. Ryan Peters joined the company early, working with his father during high school and college. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management Technology from

Spillway, Dam Reconstruction Finally Begins at UConn’s Mirror Lake in Storrs Spillway replacement and dam reconstruction on Mirror Lake got under way at the University of Connecticut in Storrs over spring break with workers fencing the project site. The work is expected to last approximately one year and is starting eight months later than predicted, the Daily Campus, the school’s student newspaper, reported April 4, 2025. Initial drafts of the improvement noted that hydraulic
dredging would be one action in addressing safety concerns regarding the lake’s water quality and flooding concerns. According to the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), dredging increases water capacity by removing sediment and debris from the bottom of a body of water. However, challenges in the university’s budget required a redesign of the plan that held off on the dredging and delayed construction, noted see UCONN page 16
