The town is considering a policy that would prevent local restaurants from having a "bring your own bottle" alcohol policy.
The town is considering a policy that would prevent local restaurants from having a "bring your own bottle" alcohol policy.
The Board of Selectmen discussed the matter at a recent meeting, noting that a local business had inquired about having such a policy.
Town Manager Blythe Robinson said employees had done research about BYOB policies.
"What we learned was that communities with BYOB policies had typically sold all the licenses (to serve alcohol) that they were able to sell," she said. "We have 10 open all-alcohol licenses."
Robinson said there was a question of fairness.
"We have several restaurants in town that have paid for the license," she said. "Is it fair to them to allow other establishments to have alcohol and not have to control it?"
Selectman Robert Fleming said he was definitively against allowing the practice, claiming the restaurants would be unable to control alcohol consumption as fully as those that serve alcohol.
"We require a license to sell liquor, and there's an obligation to control it," he said. "With BYOB, there's always the retort that, 'I wasn't able to manage it because they brought their own alcohol.'"
Fleming expressed concern that, should the board permit BYOB in this case, it would open it up for other restaurants.
Selectman James Brochu said he was also against the practice.
"I think it would be prudent to have this applicant go through the licensing process," he said. "I think the risk is too great at the moment."
Board Chairman Ken Picard said he enjoyed going to restaurants with a BYOB policy, but questioned whether it would be appropriate for Upton.
"If we allow this to happen prior to exhausting all our liquor licenses, I think it would be an unfair advantage for the business," he said. "I think we could move forward with a process once we've exhausted our licenses."
Picard suggested the town draft a policy, noting that restaurants are permitted to have BYOB policies unless prohibited from doing so by the town.

Political cabinet role for Boris
Boris Johnson has been handed a role in David Cameron's political cabinet but will not have a ministerial job while he remains mayor of London.
The announcement came as Mr Cameron concluded a "steady-as-she-goes" post-election reshuffle, which saw the most senior jobs remain in the same hands as the Prime Minister created his first Conservative-only Cabinet.
In eye-catching moves, Sajid Javid took the role of Business Secretary previously held by Liberal Democrat Vince Cable, with former Commons Culture Committee chairman and critic of the BBC licence fee John Whittingdale taking his old job as Culture Secretary.
Eric Pickles lost his job of Communities and Local Government Secretary to former universities minister Greg Clark, amid unconfirmed reports that the former Tory chairman is to join Mr Cameron's Holocaust Commission as well as becoming anti-corruption tsar.
Hastings and Rye MP Amber Rudd entered Cabinet for the first time, moving upwards within the Department for Energy and Climate Change from a junior ministerial position to the Cabinet-level Secretary of State role vacated by Lib Dem Ed Davey, who lost his seat last week.
Ms Rudd is one of a number of additional women attending Cabinet, though only she and Leader of the Lords Baroness Stowell took on full membership status.
The Conservatives' only surviving MP north of the border, David Mundell, became Scotland Secretary, filling another post formerly held by Lib Dems. Chelsea and Fulham MP Greg Hands was appointed to Danny Alexander's former job of Chief Secretary to the Treasury - effectively deputy to the Chancellor of the Exchequer - but the role was downgraded, as he will attend Cabinet but not have full Cabinet membership.
George Osborne had already been confirmed as Chancellor, Theresa May as Home Secretary, Philip Hammond as Foreign Secretary and Michael Fallon as Defence Secretary the day after the May 7 election.
They were joined by Jeremy Hunt, who remains Health Secretary, Nicky Morgan, who keeps the education brief and Iain Duncan Smith, who stays at the Department for Work and Pensions with the task of delivering the £12 billion of welfare cuts promised by the Tories in their manifesto. Patrick McLoughlin remains at transport, Liz Truss at environment, Theresa Villiers at Northern Ireland and Stephen Crabb at the Wales Office.
It had already been announced that Michael Gove is returning to the top of government - moving from chief whip to Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary at the expense of Chris Grayling, who becomes Leader of the House of Commons.
Mr Johnson - who arrived at Downing Street clutching a cycle helmet - had not been expected to take a big spending department while still London mayor, and Mr Cameron said that he would "devote his attention" to his mayoral duties until the end of his term at City Hall in May 2016.
The political cabinet which he will join includes all the key figures at the top of the Government but excludes civil servants as matters discussed are party political. No minutes are taken at the meetings, expected to take place fortnightly at 10 Downing Street following the weekly meeting of the full Cabinet, which formally agrees policy and sits at the heart of government.
A spokesman for the mayor - and newly-elected MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip - said: " This is not a ministerial appointment. He won't be attending full Cabinet and won't be running any department. The mayor has always been clear, he has to fulfil his mandate running London first, and that's exactly what he will be doing until his term ends in May 2016."
Mr Javid's appointment was welcomed by business, with CBI director general John Cridland describing him as "a strong voice for the business community". John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said his priorities should be "kick-starting a revolution in exports, and working with us to ensure that firms can get new recruits with the skills and motivation to get ahead in the world of work".
The BBC said it was "looking forward" to working with Mr Whittingdale, who last year described the BBC licence fee as "worse than a poll tax" and said it was "unsustainable" in the long run and needed tweaking immediately. The 10-yearly renegotiation of the BBC's Royal Charter - which expires at the end of December 2016 - will be at the top of his in-tray as Culture Secretary.
In other appointments, Oliver Letwin has been promoted to be full member of Cabinet and will be in overall charge of the Cabinet Office as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Former business minister Matt Hancock becomes Paymaster General at the Cabinet Office with responsibility for efficiency and Civil Service reform, and will attend Cabinet.
Witham MP Priti Patel will replace Esther McVey, who lost her seat, as employment minister. She will attend Cabinet but will hold the rank of minister of state.
Anna Soubry has been moved sideways from minister of state for defence to minister of state in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, where she will have responsibility for small business. She will attend Cabinet.
Mark Harper, who quit as immigration minister over the work status of his cleaner, takes over from Mr Gove as chief whip.
Robert Halfon, who was the Chancellor's parliamentary private secretary (PPS) in the last parliament, has been appointed deputy chairman of the Conservative Party.
Mr Cameron confirmed that his older people's tsar Ros Altmann is to become pensions minister at the Department for Work and Pensions.
The Prime Minister announced before the election that he intended to make the prominent pensions campaigner a member of his Government, with responsibility for financial consumer protection and financial education.
However, the removal of Liberal Democrats from government has freed up the more senior role of pensions minister, previously held by Steve Webb, who lost his seat last Thursday. Dr Altmann is expected to be made a Conservative peer in order to take up the position.
Penny Mordaunt - best known to TV viewers for her appearance in swimming costume in the reality show Splash - becomes the first woman to hold the post of armed forces minister.
Former armed forces minister Mark Francois moves to the Department for Communities and Local Government as minister of state.
In other moves, Mr Johnson's younger brother, Jo, becomes Universities and Science Minister, John Hayes is Security Minister, Alistair Burt is minister of state at the Department of Health, and Philip Dunne is promoted to Defence Procurement Minister at the Ministry of Defence.

As expected, Samsung's request to examine the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 was denied by Judge Lucy Koh in a ruling handed down yesterday. The judge expressed the need for fairness, but said Samsung overstepped the line when it asked for devices that are unannounced and likely in the prototype stage. Apple also asked to view Samsung devices, but the bulk of those products were already on the market or formally announced by the Korean manufacturer.
One piece of bad news was handed down to Apple. A portion of the judge's order hints that Apple may not get an injunction against Samsung unless it provides the iPhone 5 or the iPad 3 to the court for evaluation. Without the threat of an injunction, Samsung can continue to sell its mobile devices in the US and is not under any pressure to reach a settlement in this case.

N.C. Highway Patrol authorities believe inattention, possibly fatigue, was the main contributing factor in a wreck on U.S. 701 in Sampson County that claimed an 18-year-old Garner resident.
The single-car wreck happened at 4:25 p.m. Sunday on U.S. 701, about one-tenth of a mile north of John Mark Road. Ahmed Saleh Hamid, 18, of Garner was driving in a 2007 Acura passenger car with passenger Hishan Saeed Nagi, 24.
According to reports by Trooper Evelyn Campos, the vehicle was traveling north on U.S. 701 when it crossed the centerline and ran off the left side of the roadway, where it struck a ditch and driveway culvert. Campos said that after the Acura struck the culvert, it overturned and went airborne, finally coming to rest in a nearby gravel driveway.
Hamid and Nagi were both wearing their seat belts and "had to be cut out of them," Campos noted. Hamid was pronounced dead at the scene, while Nagi sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result. Alcohol and speeding "for sure" were not factors in the wreck, Campos said. She cited inattention as one of the main factors believed to have contributed to the wreck.
"He could have fallen asleep," the trooper said of Hamid, noting possible fatigue that led to inattention. "It is not known for sure why he went left of center."
Sunday's fatal collision resulted in the 15th death on Sampson County roadways this year and was the latest in a deadly string of accidents since a triple fatality at the end of June. Of the 15 total deaths, there have been eight in five wrecks since June 25. Sunday's collision wrapped up a deadly month of July that saw five deaths in four wrecks. Sunday's was the second in a matter of days following a deadly head-on wreck that claimed two Newton Grove residents July 27.
There were 14 deaths in 2015 through Aug. 5. Last summer, there were eight deaths in seven wrecks through July and August.

Two of the five contaminated landfills at the former HoltraChem plant in Orrington may soon be removed, on order of the Board of Environmental Protection. Should this sort of environmental threat have been allowed to linger so long? Should businesses that
manufacture or use toxic substances be required to keep funds available to close and clean their sites, if and when they cease operating?
Or would such regulations hurt the economy? What remedy is there for the situation that has played out over many years in Orrington?

Surgery of the Ears Houston
Aesthetic ear surgery is utilized to reshape the ear by altering the size, position, or configuration of protruding or abnormal ears. Usually, the candidate for this surgery has ears that are too large, that protrude from the head, that have an undeveloped middle fold, or that have a deformity. Oftentimes, protruding ears can be the focus of ridicule and teasing. Although hair styles can be created to cover the problem, this is not a permanent treatment.
Most aesthetic ear surgery is performed between the ages of four and 14, but adults are also prime candidates for otoplasty. Otoplasty ear surgery is occasionally performed earlier in cases of more pronounced deformity.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in children, while adults may elect to have an otoplasty with general or local anesthesia. The surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis, with return home the same day.
During the procedure, Dr. Lyos will make an incision behind the ear. A head dressing is applied immediately after surgery, and on its removal, a headband is worn at night for a few weeks to keep the ears in their corrected position. Minor swelling and discoloration which occurs will subside in a few weeks.

Daughtry is one of those people who didn't win American Idol but is actually doing way better than many of the people who did win.
Which is, you know, kinda awesome.
Hey, he's a super-talented guy and his vocals we're spot on last night at the Midland by AMC. Which makes me wonder; why didn't he win? The show wasn't sold out unfortunately and most of the audience was – to my surprise – an older crowd. Even people were there with their small children. Not exactly a good sign hipness-wise.
In other words it was a very relaxing setting that I'm definately not used to at a live concert. None the less, you can tell Daughtry's a really down-to-earth dude and he put on a great show for his fans in Kansas City.
