SCARBOROUGH — Carl Terrence Hews, 82, of Scarborough passed away early Tuesday morning after a short battle with lung cancer.

Carl was a graduate of Ashland High School and Southern Maine Vocational Technical Institute. He was employed for 37 years in Station Repairs at Central Maine Power Company.
