Hoppy days: Maine Beer Co. moves to Freeport

WILL GRAFF / THE FORECASTER

Jeremy Buck pours a 5-ounce Lunch – a West Coast-style India pale ale – on Friday, April 18, at Maine Beer Co.’s

new tasting room and brewery on Route 1 in Freeport. The tasting room offers the all of the brewery’s regular beers,

plus two rotating specialty beers.

By Will GraffFREEPORT — Maine Beer

Co., owned and operated by brothers Dave and Daniel Kle-ban, quietly opened April 12 and is now serving a full lineup of beers at its new brewery tap room.

Colleen Croteau, marketing and logistics director, said the company, formerly based in an industrial park off Riverside Street in Portland, didn’t adver-tise the opening. But it has had a steady stream of beer drinkers

lining up for Peeper, Zoe, MO and other Maine Beer favorites since the doors opened.

“There’s no grand opening at this point, we’re pretty much just open,” Croteau said at the brewery, which was built where the old Dutch Village Motel pre-viously stood on Route 1, near Exit 20 of Interstate 295. “We honestly weren’t sure if anybody would show up when we put the open flag up. So far, we’ve had a good response.”

Besides the company’s retail

beers, the tasting room, which overlooks the brewery, will offer two rotating pilot beers, cur-rently an American pale ale and a saison, that can only be found at the brewery.

“It’s a treat for people who come up to visit us,” Croteau said. “We’re curious to see what the tasting room does for the brewery.”

Maine Beer Co.’s mostly hoppy, American-style beers are served in 5- and 10-ounce glasses, for $2.50 and $5, re-

spectively. Beer drinkers who want to try a range of beers can buy a flight of four, 5-ounce pours for $10.

Corteau said the tasting room is more of a community room, not a bar, with board games and a kid-friendly area. The com-pany also hopes to host small community events and possibly become the finish line for road races, she said.

The brewery will not host

Falmouth grad recovering from marathon blast injuriesBy Will Graff

FALMOUTH — A Falmouth High School graduate was re-covering at her parent’s home late last week after she was in-jured in the Patriot’s Day bomb-ing at the Boston Marathon.

The bombs that went off near the finish line on Boylston Street in Boston killed three people and injured more than 180.

One of the injured was 20-year-old Sarah Girouard. The bomb sent shrapnel through her leg, fractured her shin and heel bones, and partially ruptured her

ear drum.With a plastic boot on her

right leg, she was brought home by her parents Christopher and Sue Girouard on April 17 after having surgery and spending two nights at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

At her parents home, Gir-ouard, an environmental science student at Northeastern Univer-sity, made her way down the stairs, with the help of crutches, and into the family’s living room.

Although doctors told her

the injuries could keep her on crutches for months, Girouard said she realizes she was for-tunate.

“I’ve definitely done a lot of ‘what ifs,’” she said, reclin-ing on a the couch beside her crutches. “It definitely could have been a lot worse. I’m glad this is the extent. I’ve had worse soccer injuries.”

Girouard, who was watching the race with two college room-mates, said she had “meandered

Freeport council delay prompts shellfish panel member to resignBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — A compre-hensive study of the town’s dwindling shellfish resources has been put on hold for at least another week and may be scaled back significantly or scrapped altogether.

On Tuesday, the Town Coun-cil balked again at spending money already appropriated for the project. The action came after several discussions on the topic in the last few months cited concerns about permit-

ting.Following an almost two-

hour discussion with clammers in the audience about including the nearly $67,000 appropria-tion for the project in the fiscal 2014 budget, councilors could not reach a consensus and asked for more time to review a revised version of the project presented to them Tuesday.

This decision prompted the clammer spearheading the

Unsung Hero: Jim Mardin, keeping Maine’s military history aliveBy David Treadwell

SOUTH PORTLAND — “June 13, 1944: France. Spent the early morning hours be-side vehicles. Many German planes flying around the sky was red with tracers.”

Portland resident Jim Mardin was 22 years old when he wrote those words in his log. He and other members of the advanced guard of the 460th Anti-Aircraft Battalion had landed on Omaha Beach on June 12, 1944, six days after the initial D-Day inva-sion.

Six weeks later, on July 28, he wrote:“Left Balleroy, France for Cerisy-la-

Foret, France. At this time, the break-through was being made. We arrived at the new area in an apple orchard and had to dig

in the CP tent. This area was covered with foxholes. Had no time to dig a foxhole of own and there were no foxholes in the vi-cinity. Just after dusk the action began. First we could see flares being dropped close overhead but did not move until the scream of falling bombs could be heard. Dived for a truck. For the rest of the entire night the sky was filled with German planes mak-ing the trek back to the beaches or trying to blast the infantry out of their foxholes.

Slept on top of the ground but was ready to dive for the truck if the flak began bursting overhead.”

Mardin served his country with honor and humility as a young man during World War II, and he’s been serving others ever since.

He volunteered for the National Guard after returning to Maine from the war, and he was involved in traffic control duty dur-ing the forest fires of 1947.

On behalf of NICHOLS & WEBB, I am pleased toannounce that Sarah A. Churchill, Esq. has joinedour firm. Before I get to the usual “curriculumvitae” (resume) stuff, I’m going to give you somemore important information about Sarah.Sarah Churchill is a trial lawyer. That puts her in aleague of about one half of one per cent of lawyerscurrently practicing in our state and nationally.There are real estate lawyers, tax lawyers, contractlawyers, public policy lawyers, etc. some are good,some are great in their fields. I can not do whatthey do. There are many civil lawyers and countlesscriminal defense lawyers who go to court on aregular basis to “work things out”. The trial lawyermay be the rarest among all.

Many lawyers have impressive resumes. Manycan boast of elite educational backgrounds andparticipation on boards, civic projects and the like.But, precious few have walked the walk to earn themoniker of “trial lawyer “. Sarah has done all of theabove. Her resume is impeccable. Her reputationas a trial lawyer is not only well earned, it is alsouniversally proclaimed throughout Maine’s legalcommunity.

Sarah graduated from Mount Holyoke College in1999 and The University of Maine School of Lawin 2002 . For the past ten years she has representedcitizens accused of crimes as well as plaintiffs incivil cases ranging from personal injury to civilrights violations. In 2011 Sarah was elected by herpeers as the President of the Maine Association ofCriminal Defense Lawyers. In that role, she workedextensively with the legislature and judiciaryto improve the quality of Maine’s provision ofeffective assistance of legal representation for thoseunable to afford counsel in criminal cases as well asin family law matters.

The Constitution guarantees us all the effectiveassistance of counsel. Maine does not have a“PUBLIC DEFENDEr’S OFFICE”. Thus, in the mostserious and difficult cases, our courts are oftencalled upon to appoint the best defense attorneysfrom the private sector to represent the accused.Sarah has been appointed to the most difficult, yesoften high-profile, cases over the last decade.

A trial lawyer does not go to trial in every case.A trial lawyer is “prepared” to go to trial in everycase. A trial lawyer finds every available defense inevery case. A trial lawyer knows when and how tolet the prosecutor know about these defenses andthereby obtain the most favorable offer or when tosave that information for trial. A trial lawyer hascredibility with the prosecutor and is the lawyerto whom the prosecutor is most likely to considerrendering favorable reductions in charges. And,most importantly, a trial lawyer is the lawyerin whom you can place your trust to have theexperience, knowledge and guts to present yourcase to a jury if you are not satisfied with the statesoffer.

If you have been charged with OUI or any criminaloffense, call a trial lawyer. You will get the bestsettlement offer possible and be prepared for trialif necessary.

Falmouth finalizes funding plan for Route 1 makeoverBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — The Town Council finalized several referendum questions Monday night and heard public comment on the zoning portion of the Route 1 im-provement plan.

Because the town received final approval on a tax increment financing extension for the Route 1 infrastructure improvement project, Town Manager Nathan Poore asked councilors to approve an amendment to a June 11 referendum question they had previously approved.

Before the amendment, the Route 1 referendum question included a stipulation that if the town did not receive the TIF extension, the $11.7 million project would be put on hold until the funding became available. The amendment clarifies that the town did receive the TIF funding and no burden will be placed on taxpayers for the Route 1 makeover.

Councilors also approved sending two middle-school infrastructure improvement questions to voters.

The two projects will include improve-ments to several classrooms and an upgrade to the heating system, and will bring the building up to code. Total cost for the proj-ects is estimated at $5 million.

Councilors also unanimously approved sending the school budget to voters. The

School Department has proposed a $30.2 million budget. The municipal budget for fiscal 2014 is just over $11 million.

The combined budgets, and the town’s share of Cumberland County spending, would result in a tax increase of about 5 per-cent, to $14.13 per $1,000 of assessed value.

Before approving the referendum ques-tions, councilors heard from the public on the zoning portion of the Route 1 improve-ment project.

The zoning amendments create three village districts: Village Center 1 from Bucknam Road to Fundy Road, Village Center 2 from Fundy Road to Route 88, and a third district for properties near Falmouth Memorial Library and Legion Field.

According to Councilor Bonny Rodden, chairwoman of the Community Develop-ment Committee, Village Center 1 will be the more densely populated, pedestrian-friendly area, with buildings flush to the streets and parking behind the structures, while Village Center 2 will allow for one row of parking in front of buildings.

“The point is to make the area more village-like,” Rodden said. “We have a limited amount of space in Falmouth for commercial development, and along Route 1 there isn’t a lot. The point of this project is to make it denser, so we will have more commercial property, which will create

more property taxes.”The two residents who spoke during

public comment both took issue with the creation of a village feel and using up exist-ing limited space.

Michael Doyle said that taking buildable lots away is a mistake, because it will make the land so expensive that buyers will be priced out.

Adrian Fox, who moved to Falmouth from England 12 years ago, said a town center and a village are two different things.

“Village suggests a number of very nice, quaint shops and tea rooms and that is great ... (but) you can’t create a village. You can create a town and a town center, but you can’t create a village, because one is a way of thought and another is a way of com-

merce,” he said.Fox also took issue with narrowing of the

roads, saying it shouldn’t be described as traffic-calming because “all it does is make everyone annoyed.” He said it will lead to people making “rat runs” through parking lots and the interconnections planned for the area.

Councilors will vote on the zoning changes at their May 13 meeting.

Filing deadline nears for Falmouth candidatesBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — With less than a week left until the filing deadline, only four candidates had returned nominating petitions for the five Town Council and School Board seats on the June election ballot.

David Goldberg and Claudia King have returned papers for two of the three seats on the Town Council, according to Town Clerk Ellen Planer. Russ Anderson, who ran unsuccessfully last year, has taken out papers, but has not returned them, Planer said Monday.

The clerk said four people have taken out nomination papers for two School Board seats: Caryn Bickerstaff, Susan Coughlin, Michael Doyle and Claire Har-rington. Only Bickerstaff and Doyle have returned their papers, she said.

Candidates must submit at least 25 signatures, but no more than 100, by Monday, April 29, to earn a place on the June 11 ballot.

Nomination papers for each of the two-year terms are available from the clerk’s office until the filing deadline.

Town Council Chairwoman Faith Var-ney and School Board members Chris Murry Jr. and David Snow are not seek-ing re-election. Councilors Tony Payne and Bonny Rodden have each reached the term limit of six consecutive years.

Cumberland plans $1M Blanchard Road paving projectBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — The town is work-ing with the Maine Department of Trans-portation on the reconstruction of part of Blanchard Road, a $1 million project that could be complete in May 2014.

A neighborhood meeting on the project will be held at Town Hall at 7 p.m. Tues-day, April 30.

DOT is funding $500,000 of the proj-ect, while Cumberland is paying for the other half in its fiscal 2013 and 2014 budgets, Town Manager Bill Shane said last week. The town portion comes from tax increment financing funds, and not taxpayer dollars, Shane said.

The project, which could begin in June, includes about 6,000 feet of Blanchard Road, from Bruce Hill Road to Skillin Road. The work is the final piece of a

plan to pave road shoulders and extend water mains from Route 1 to Route 100.

“We’ve been working on trying to ex-tend the water mains out to Route 100, which we were successful in doing, and widening the road for additional com-mercial, vehicular and pedestrian traffic,” Shane said.

The Blanchard Road water main instal-lation has already be completed, with road and shoulder paving to come. Work on the road from Bruce Hill Road, near the Cumberland Fairgrounds, to Main Street was completed a decade ago.

Shane said he expects the project to be about 90 percent complete this fall, with final paving to occur in May 2014.

Train station, athletic fields add costs in FreeportBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — The town is looking at a combined municipal budget of $4.85 million that largely maintains services in fiscal 2014 while balancing potentially massive state revenue losses.

The Town Council adopted the capital spending program Tuesday and received the operating budget from town staff.

While the Regional School Unit 5 budget is still being deliberated, the combined county, school and town tax

increase for the fiscal 2014 budget is expected to be 2.34 percent, a slight reduction from the 2013 budget increase of 2.62 percent, according to budget projections.

Significant new costs will be seen in the first full year of operations related to the Amtrak Downeaster train, and main-tenance of the Hunter and Pownal roads athletic fields.

The town will spend more than $102,000 to run the train station, which began operations late last year. The town will also have to pick up the $84,000 tab for the athletic fields, while also paying for at least $59,000 for environmental permitting fees and storm water improve-ments.

The largest unknown in the budget

is how the state Legislature will handle Gov. Paul LePage’s proposed budget, which eliminates about $850,000 in state revenue for Freeport, including $525,000 in municipal revenue sharing.

“This budget was difficult to prepare because of the state picture,” Finance Director Abbe Yacoben said. “If a deci-sion is made to cut state revenues, there will be some hard decisions.”

Town officials are betting that some, but not all of that state aid will be cut, meaning Freeport would likely have to draw from its $1 million tax stabilization fund and consider making deeper cuts in services.

The town deliberates the capital and

N. Yarmouth town center plan goes to June voteBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — The first phase of a proposed economic develop-ment plan will go to a Town Meeting vote June 15.

The project’s goal is to turn a triangular area in the center of town into a more vis-ible, active and inviting town center. The $155,000 expenditure would be funded through a multi-year bond.

The area, which includes Town Hall,

runs from the intersection of Routes 9 and 115, up Route 115 and down Parson-age Lane, and then back along Route 9 to the intersection with Route 115.

The public will have a chance on May 23 to weigh in on the proposal, at a meet-ing to be held at Town Hall at 7 p.m. The project’s landscape architect will be there to discuss the plan.

Part of the first phase would include clearing and thinning forested areas to enhance the attractiveness and visibility of Town Hall from Route 9 and Route 115, according to a report from the Eco-nomic Development and Sustainability Committee, which has gathered ideas on how to make the most of 114 acres of town-owned land in the village center.

“The Town Hall is (currently) broken off from the other town buildings, and it’s not visible,” committee member David Perkins said last week.

A path from Wescustogo Hall – a community gathering place where Town Meeting and elections are held – would be installed. It would lead to an approxi-mately 70-foot bridge spanning a Toddy Brook ravine, from which a trail would continue to Town Hall, tying both sides of the town property together for pedes-trian access.

“There’s a large field next to the Town Hall, where kids play sports,” Perkins said. “That will be opened up and visible, so people will understand that’s the town office, and that’s part of the town center.”

The phase could be complete by the summer of 2014, Perkins said.

Future phases could include an entry to Town Hall from Route 115, and walking trails and a playground within that cen-ter, as well as relocation to that area of the Old Town House, from where it sits further north on Route 9. The town his-torical society is interested in that move, Perkins said.

Development of a business park at the spent, town-owned Cassidy Pit could also come later, as well as reuse of North Yar-mouth Memorial School, if it is closed.

Later phases could be paid for, in part, with grants, Perkins said.

Summer program seeks entrepreneurial kidsBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — Three years ago, Kate Gooding had kids around the state selling lemonade for a day as a way to teach them how to run a business.

But she found the program too limiting.So last year, the former marketing ex-

ecutive from Falmouth transformed the lemonade stand program into one where entrepreneurial Maine students could com-plete a four-part training module in busi-

ness planning, marketing, budgeting and business operations, and later pitch their business to a local business leader.

“The (lemonade program) was so restric-tive, so the board and I, and some partners at (the University of Southern Maine) and 4-H, decided to create a curriculum that would better serve Maine children,” Good-ing said.

The new program, called Build-a-Biz, provides students ages 5-8 and 9-15 with the tools and resources necessary to create and pitch a business.

Gooding, who is director of the program, said the type of business pitched doesn’t matter, as long as kids are gaining the ex-perience of developing their own business plans and executing those plans during their summer vacations.

“I cannot tell you the number of great ideas that these kids are discussing with me,” she said. “I have a 10-year-old who wants to develop a software application for phones. Another little boy built an online

origami business to raise money to buy a plane ticket for his younger sister to come home from Ethiopia.”

She said one of the major goals of the program is to keep the kids who become involved in the program in Maine after they graduate from high school, so that the state’s business base can expand.

As a part of the program, which Gooding calls “a ‘Shark Tank’ for kids,” students have the opportunity to enter into the Pitch ME! Contest, where they will compete for the chance to pitch their businesses to entrepreneur Robert Baldacci on CTN Channel 5.

The top three entries will appear on tele-vision on May 7 and the winner will receive a $1,000 college scholarship. Entry forms are available on the Build-a-Biz website and must include a business plan. All entries are due by April 28.

In addition to the Pitch ME! Contest, students can register for Build-a-Biz Day, where they will receive advice from lo-

cal business owners on how to get their businesses up and running for the sum-mer months.

While the major focus Gooding’s pro-gram is teaching students to create their own businesses, there is also a focus on how kids spend and save their money.

She said that she tries to teach kids to spend, save and share.

“I feel it is very important for kids to spend money on themselves, because they have worked so hard on this, but they also need to save some money. (So) Bangor Savings Bank is giving each par-ticipant (in Build-a-Biz Day) $5 for their savings account,” Gooding said. “(But also) the last thing is to share, so (we hope to) bring the awareness to sharing their profits with a charity in need.”

As the program grows, Gooding hopes to gain support from school districts, which is a market that has been difficult to tap.

She currently relies on the help of the Maine Parks and Recreation Association to spread the word about Build-a-Biz, but next year hopes to have the help of the Maine Department of Education.

Students interested in registering for Build-a-Biz Day or entering the Pitch ME! Contest should visit the Build-a-Biz website at buildabiz.me for more infor-mation on the program and access to the training modules.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

Maine Audubon in need of frog trackersBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — Maine Audubon Soci-ety is looking for help tracking amphibians across the state this spring.

Susan Gallo, wildlife biologist for the organization, said the 17-year-old Lend an Ear program is looking for volunteers to travel established routes to listen for differ-ent species of frogs across the state.

“(Volunteers) go out three times,” Gallo said. “Once right now to capture wood frogs and the peepers, and then there is another run toward the end of April or beginning of May, and a third run in the month of June.”

She said volunteers are asked to follow

a prescribed route with 10 different stops. At each stop the volunteer must listen and record animal sounds for a period of five minutes.

Each volunteer must be able to identify the nine species of frogs in Maine in order to participate in the program, but Gallo said there are several resources available to help train people to hear each species’ specific sound. She said the U.S. Geological Sur-vey’s website features a quiz that is helpful, and there are several books featuring CDs that can also help volunteers differentiate the species.

Gallo said there are some routes open in southern Maine, but Maine Audubon is also

looking for people who can volunteer for the northernmost routes in the state.

“If anyone has a connection up there, we have the bulk of our unfilled routes up north,” she said. “That is where we really struggle to reach volunteers.”

For more information on the Lend an Ear program or to sign up for a route contact Gallo at [email protected] or call 781-2330 ext. 216.

Spring cleaning is not justfor your home. After getting his pilot’s license, he volun-

teered with the Civil Air Patrol and assisted in search missions.

He served the Maine State Police for 15 years, riding along as a Reserve Trooper in patrol cars.

In 1988, he began volunteering at Maine Medical Center, and he’s put in more than 9,000 hours since that time: indexing re-cords in the library’s archives, distributing information pamphlets in the oncology center, and processing patient mail.

In 2011, Mardin’s wife Bettie died after being confined in a nursing home with Alzheimer’s disease.

“The personnel at Sedgewood Commons showed such compassion and gave such

extra care that I felt I owed them, and I’ve volunteered there ever since,” Mardin said. He spends two days a week at Sedgewood playing cards with the patients.

Given his distinguished military back-ground and strong drive to serve, it is no surprise that Mardin discovered the Maine Military Museum and Learning Center at 50 Peary Terrace in South Portland. The 12,000-square-foot museum features uniforms, artifacts and memorabilia from Maine veterans who served the country in wars ranging from the Revolutionary War right up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mardin spends several hours each week as an archivist at the museum. He wrote a guide for all the items on display and an index to the brass plaques on the museum’s walls.

As he explained on a tour of the museum, “Everything here has a story. ... The Maine Military Museum is a great way for the younger generation to learn about past wars from viewing all the artifacts on display. It’s also a place where veterans can visit and recall their experiences.”

Mardin celebrated his 91st birthday a few weeks ago. He takes no medications, and he’s in perfect health. He was very reluctant to be profiled, too.

“I’m not a hero,” he protested. “I’m just there.”

Terror in Boston, and the price of preventionAs Boston recovers from the brutal attack on the mara-

thon and the city begins to regain its equilibrium , the eyes of the nation and the attention of Congress will soon turn away from the incident itself and pivot to the so-called “root causes” of terror.

We’ll stop seeing the now familiar, grainy footage of the brothers Tsarnaev tot-ing their backpacks down Boylston Street, and we’ll spend more of our time won-dering what could have been done that wasn’t in our quest to prevent this kind of trag-edy from occurring again.

During this next phase we will learn the extent to which the suspects assimilated (or didn’t assimilate) into the local community, the extent to which they had (or hadn’t) any friends, the extent to which they turned (or didn’t turn) to radical Islam for in-spiration, the extent to which they planned (or didn’t plan) this attack for months, and so on.

We will learn that someone’s father didn’t love him, someone’s childhood was a disaster, someone’s ethnicity was his destiny, and on and on.

Then we will consider the weapons used to perpetrate

this atrocity and wonder whether there’s something that can be done to limit access or provide notification. But then we will acknowledge the relentless creativity of the ruthlessly malevolent. We have, after all, witnessed murders involving an impressive array of instruments, ranging from aircraft, fertilizer and automatic weapons to anthrax, explosives and, now, pressure cookers.

So we move on.Some will wonder aloud whether we should change our

immigration policies to keep immigrants out, or perhaps just the ones from certain regions, or perhaps just those who practice certain religions.

But we know, really, that there aren’t any actions we can take to protect ourselves fully against all threats. The most restrictive immigration policies imaginable could not have protected us from the perpetrators of Oklahoma City, Aurora, Newtown, and Columbine. All were home-grown.

Nor can we regulate every item that is capable of be-ing maliciously deployed, any more than we can be so vigilant as to anticipate the angry rampage of a neighbor who doesn’t say hello and sticks to himself, or who, for that matter, joins the wrestling team or competes in the Golden Gloves.

In the end, what the Boston tragedy teaches us is that the only way to identify threats and take preemptive action is to deploy technologies that require us to sacrifice our privacy. How much of our privacy are we willing to compromise, and whom are we willing to trust with our most personal information?

It is stunning to realize how quickly investigators were able to identify the suspects in the Boston bombings. Security tapes led to still photographs which led to posi-tive identification, which led to apartments, automobiles, computers, social media accounts, personality profiles, travel itineraries, family members, financial transactions and much more that will come to light in the coming days. Finally, infrared photography deployed from a surveillance helicopter confirmed the presence of one suspect as he hid in a boat on private property in suburban Boston.

Even as we applaud the virtuoso performance of law enforcement, important issues are raised by the ubiquity and accessibility of so much personal data. It may be, as some say, that if you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear.

By the same token, it is now clear that every purchase, ev-ery phone call, every text message, every website, every toll booth, every tax bill, every neighbor, every interaction cre-ates a profile and a path and tells a story that can be used to identify a person – almost any person – in any community.

In the interest of security, such information will surely be more widely available to law enforcement officials, and we will have to hope and trust that they act upon it for the com-mon good and according to standards that preserve and pro-tect the rights of individuals from unreasonable intrusion.

If access to this information and action based upon it could have saved the lives of three innocents in Boston and

For Boston, a love mash-upShall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more splendid and yet more gritty.White snows will blanket the budding trees along the

Charles,And fall’s leaves will

swirl down thine cobble-stoned streets.

Sometime too congested the thoroughfares become,

And a nickname is be-stowed in honor of your drivers’ temperament;

And every rivalry is a ri-valry with your sportsmen,

By defeat, or repeated glory years, undaunted;

But thy eternal spirit shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of those hearts thou own’st,

Nor shall evil proclaim victory o’er your goodness,When in the books of History thou art recorded.So long as we can love, or loyalty can lie,So long lives Boston, and Boston gives strength to all.You have touched us more profoundly than we

thought even you could have touched us – our heart was full when we watched there that day, and then days.

You opened your streets to us in the presence of un-known enemies. You inspired our courage with resolve; our cup overflows.

It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant that our faith could be restored in each other ... and we all knew it.

You’re headstrong, tough, and a little in-your-face. Your people don’t say “r,” your subway is called “The T,” and your “C’s” are a little old. But even when you’re at your worst, we stick around in the hopes we’ll de-serve you at your best.

On-street parking is a luxury. Not a necessity.We are nothing special; just common people with

common thoughts, and we’ve led common lives. There will be no monuments dedicated to us and our names will one day be forgotten. But in one respect we have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived; we’ve learned from you that we have the power to tri-umph through bravery and compassion; and for us, this will prove to have been enough.

In vain the cowards have acted. It will not do. Our feelings will not be repressed. You must allow us to tell you how ardently we admire and support you.

We did not go looking for this opportunity, but we repeat to you our vow of eternal seasons tickets and everlasting parking lot tailgating.

You are our North End, our South End, our Beacon Hill, our Fenway Park,

Our weekly commute and our Sunday brunch.Doubt thou that the Big Dig is complete; Doubt that

the Patriots will rebuild; Doubt Affleck to find a new location; But never doubt that we will run again.

You’re simply the best, better than all rest.

spared hundreds the agony of their wounds, most of us – myself included – would happily hand it over.

Still, as our experience dealing with terrorism and its aftermath mounts, the question raised by the Boston bomb-ings is not so much, “What can we do to prevent future attacks? “

The question is, “Are we willing to accept what we know can be done?”

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

About that well-regulated militia …Now that the U.S. Senate has made sure there

is no chance that Americans will ever get the gun controls we want and need, I’m sure the victorious gunslingers of America won’t mind a little look back at what the Second Amendment was originally all about.

A good buddy – an Army veteran, not a liberal, but definitely a strict constructionist – likes to say, “The Second Amendment only guarantees you the right to keep and bear a musket.”

While gun rights ad-vocates whine about re-strictions on their right to bear arms, there has actually been a massive expansion of Second Amendment rights to cover thousands of firearms unforeseen by the drafters of the Constitution. I find it curious that Second Amendment advocates tend to ignore the actual language of the amendment:

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

The Second Amendment is the only one of the Bill of Rights amendments to provide its own ra-tionale. Our right to bear arms is predicated on the need for a well-regulated state militia. The amend-ment only prohibits the federal government from infringing on the right to bear arms, not the states. And it was passed not to protect private gun owner-ship, but to prevent the federal government from disarming state militias.

So tell me about this well-regulated militia of ours.

I know about the Second Maine Militia, that band of contemporary dissidents led by novelist Carolyn Chute and her husband, who does, in fact, keep and bear a musket. Beyond this fanciful turkey shoot, however, what was the First Maine Militia? Gun rights advocates like to argue that “militia” meant all citizens. Well, not quite.

About 50 pages of the 1,000-plus page Laws of the State of Maine (1821-1834) were devoted to well regulating that militia. And there we read that Maine at statehood adopted the 1792 federal military law such “That each and every free able-bodied, white male citizen of the respective States,

resident therein, who is or shall be of the age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the Militia, by the Captain or commanding officer of the company, within whose bounds such citizen shall reside and that within twelve months after the passing of this act.”

Every militiaman was required by law to provide his own musket or firelock or “a good rifle, knap-sack, shot pouch, and powder horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, ac-coutered and provided, when called out to exercise, or into service.”

Talk about an infringement on personal liberty. The militia wasn’t some voluntary association of aggrieved patriots, it was compulsory government service. Imagine the protests today if all those folks complaining about losing their Second Amendment rights were told they had to show up to drill every month.

The 21st century is witnessing a perversion of liberty by individuals who seem to get everything backwards. Militias were supposed to defend the government. Now they threaten it. The so-called tea party is filled with “patriots” who aren’t. They don’t complain about taxation without representa-tion, they just complain about taxation. They are represented by a popularly elected government, but because they are in the minority they have come to define majority rule as a form of tyranny.

Freedom isn’t free. It requires sacrifice. America will be a lot better off when people stop fuss-ing about their mythical rights and start behaving like responsible citizens. Stricter gun control laws would not, in and of themselves, end the epidemic of gun violence in America, but neither would they in any way infringe on anyone’s Second Amend-ment rights.

Never have so many Americans been so free. The original constitutional freedoms only extended to white, male land owners. Now women, African-Americans, Native Americans, and gay and lesbian Americans enjoy some of the rights once reserved for the white bulls. We have a black president and the next president may very well be a woman. That’s progress.

The largest minority in America not granted equal protection are children. If first graders could vote, you can be damn sure we would have had universal background checks years ago.

Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in Yarmouth. The Universal Notebook is his personal, weekly look at the world around him.

World is flatter than Delogu believes

If Orlando Delogu is a policy wonk he should know and have read Thomas L. Friedman’s wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent book, “The World is Flat,” published in 2005. Friedman, hardly in anyone’s view a right-wing con-servative, would perhaps agree with some of the assertions Delogu makes in his April 8 column, “Contrary to right-wing opinion, the world is not flat,” but he also wrote a 469-page book advancing his theory that the world has flattened three times: the first in 1492 with Columbus, which Friedman describes as “Globalization 1.0,” the second, “Globalization 2.0,” lasted

from 1800 to 2000, when we entered “Globalization 3.0.” Each time Friedman asserts, the world was made smaller and flatter.

Friedman also asserts that “Globalization 3.0,” “because it is flattening and shrinking the world, will be driven, not only by individuals, but also by a much more diverse

– non-western, non-white – group of individuals.” It seems to this old conservative that ideas and not ideol-ogy should drive policy discussion. We can get all the left- or right-wing ideology we can stand every day. All that does is add to the paucity of

ideas that Maine and the country needs as the world does indeed grow flatter and flatter, and as a result we become less competitive, and poorer to boot.

Donald W. Stone, 91: Loved educating and golf FALMOUTH — Donald W. Stone, 91,

died at home in Falmouth on April 18, after a long illness.

Stone was born Aug. 14, 1921, in Milo, to Anna Wilbur and Carroll Stone. He spent his summers growing up at his mother’s family farm in West Pembroke, where he developed his lifelong love of the outdoors. Somehow he always man-aged to find time for hunting, fishing and golf.

He graduated from the University of Maine at Orono, Husson College, Har-vard University and Bridgeport Univer-sity. He continued his education the rest of his life, never hesitating to learn and master a new skill. He served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II, rising to the rank of master sergeant.

After the war, while working on Ri-pogenus Dam, he made a trip to Bangor where he met and later married Nathalie Smart. They moved to Connecticut where he worked as an educator in the Fairfield School System until he retired in 1977. While there he held many positions, including vice principal, athletic director and adult education director. His most beloved position was golf coach, and he was named 1972-73 Coach of the Year.

After they retired, Stone and his wife returned to Maine, where he sold real estate and managed property for several

years before retiring again. Around this time they began spending their winters in Florida, where he could pursue what his wife called his “other love”– the love of the links. He managed a few holes-in-one during his retirement and played all over Maine as a member of the Maine State Golf Association.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Nathalie; his children, Jerry and Helen, Gary, Roseanna and Carol; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Family and friends are invited to remember Stone at Lindquist Funeral Home, 1 Mayberry Lane, Yarmouth from 12-2 p.m. on Friday, followed immedi-ately by a burial service at Pine Grove Cemetery in Falmouth at 2:30 p.m.

Norman E. Morrill, 85FALMOUTH — Norman E. Morrill,

85, died Friday at Sedgewood Commons, in Falmouth. He was the loving husband of Doris Morrill.

He was born in Concord, N.H., in 1927, the son of Bessie Fenton and Clar-ence E. Morrill.

Morrill graduated from the University of Southern New Hampshire and received his master’s degree from Syracuse Uni-versity.

He worked for the federal government for many years and after retiring, he

worked for Prudential Real Estate Co. in Doylestown, Pa., for 10 years.

In addition to his wife, Doris, Stone is survived by his son, Bradley Morrill, of Ardmore, Pa.; his daughter, Susan Ramsey, of Buxton, and his grandchil-dren, Christopher Morrill, and Kendra and Brianna Ramsey.

Interment services will be held in Con-cord, N.H. A memorial service will be held in Doylestown, Pa., to be announced at a future date.

Green LIVING

Green ways to beautify your homeWhen it comes to improving your

home, it’s easier than ever to make eco-friendly choices that save you money, are better for the environ-ment and make your home more beauti-ful. Here are a few easy ways you can go green all over the house.

Light it UpAs you make the

switch from incan-descent bulbs, it’s important to look for a bulb that will not only conserve energy and save money, but that gives you the kind of illumination you want. Look for an alternative with even light distribu-tion, such as 3M LED Advanced Light. It lights up a room as beautifully as you would expect, and lasts for 25 years, delivering energy efficiency without

compromise. It uses one quarter of the energy used by an incandescent light bulb and can save you up to $140 worth

of electricity over the bulb’s lifetime. In addition, it contains no mercury and does not need special dis-posal. Learn more at 3MLighting.com/LED.Decorate with Re-cycled Materials Whether you’re a

do-it-yourselfer or want to buy ready-made items, there are plenty of options that keep materials out of landfills. Look for furniture made from reclaimed wood, carpets made from recycled plastic, flooring made from sustainable resources such as bamboo or cork, and wallpaper made from managed timber sources. You can find glassware, dinner sets and accessories made from recycled glass, and textiles like curtains and blankets made from organic fibers.

Save Water with StyleUpgrading your water-using devices

can help you use less water and save money. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that products with the WaterSense or EnergyStar labels will cut down on your water usage. For example, replacing faucets and aerators

Investing in natural or recycled materials for floors and furniture, and using mercury-free lighting and Energy-Star appliances are some of the ways each of us can contribute responsibly to the

greening of our planet.

How long will A paint job last?There are four factors that affect a paint job:

(1) A thorough sanding of all loose and peeling paint;(2) Primer - first coast must be the highest quality available;(3) The caulking should be a 40 to 50 year product applied appropriately in specific areas;and(4) The finish product has to be the best on the market, complementing the first coast.

In addition, returnable bottles and cans and cooking oil were collected for recycling or fundraising.

The Maine and New Hampshire offices of Coldwell Banker Residential Broker-age received the Silver Award, along with several other awards, at the Cartus Broker Network International Conference.

The Arts

Local Muscle, a Portland-based moving company, has expanded and converted its original truck into an “art truck” for dis-playing art and hosting public performanc-es. There is no charge for artists to display or sell art in the truck; the purpose of the program is to give artists more exposure and to encourage people to contribute to the arts economy. The dedicated 16-foot “art truck” served as Local Muscle’s original moving truck, but as the company grew, the decision was made to retire it and devote it to free public art displays. Graphics for the art truck were designed by local artist, Jared Goulette and professional sign artist, Will Sears.

Plenty of new on softball diamonds this springBy Michael Hoffer

Every Forecaster Country var-sity softball team welcomes a new coach this spring and they all have their sights set on the playoffs.

Greely had the most success a year ago, going 16-3, losing, 8-1, to nemesis Fryeburg in the Western B Final. After the season, coach and program legend Sarah Bennis Jamo stepped down to take over the program at the Univer-sity of Southern Maine. The beat figures to go on for the Rangers, however, as her assistant, Jess Gomez, ascends to the top spot. Gomez played at U. Maine and competed at the semi-pro level in California. She takes over a team that isn’t satisfied with resting on its laurels from last season, is still thinking about the one bad inning that doomed it and wants to go all the way.

Senior Danielle Cimino was a first-team all-star last season and returns as the ace. She’s on the short list of the top pitchers in the state and would love to go out in style, leading Greely deep into the playoffs. She’ll be spelled at times this spring by sophomore Miranda Moore. The loss of Senior Player of the Year and first-team all-star catcher Edith Aromando will definitely be felt, but freshman Charlotte Benoit is prepared to step in. Junior Elyse Dinan (third base) is another returning all-star. She, along with junior Mykaela Twitchell, Moore and freshman shortstop Sarah Felkel will help pace the offense.

Greely (which opened Monday, against Fryeburg) might not have

the offensive pop it featured last spring, but the Rangers will make things happen on the basepaths. Cimino will keep the team in ev-ery game and if Greely can find a way to solve Fryeburg, the sky is the limit. Look for the Rangers to once again be one of the top seeds and go deep into the playoffs. This could be the year they break through.

“I have very high expecta-tions for the team this year,” said Gomez. “We have great potential. My hope is to return to the conference final. The girls are very fun to work with, so it should be a fun, exciting season.”

Yarmouth is coming off a 5-11 campaign and fell short of the postseason. After longtime coach Jim Senecal stepped down, the Clippers welcomed Amy McMul-lin, a field hockey, basketball and softball standout at Messalonskee, who went on to play field hockey and basketball at Franklin Pierce University, as the new leader. She’s made her name coaching the Cheverus field hockey team to great things and spent the past two winters as an assistant with the Yarmouth girls’ basketball squad. McMullin takes over a team used to contending and one eager to

Local baseball teams looking for more gloryBy Michael Hoffer

The 2012 baseball season was one for the ages in Forecaster Country. Dare I suggest 2013 could be even more memorable?

For starters, the defending Class B state champion, Fal-mouth (which beat Foxcroft Academy, 2-0, to win it all at that level for the first time) has a lot back from last year’s 17-3 squad as it looks to repeat in its final season before moving to Class A.

Senior Thomas Fortier, a second-team league all-star and Falmouth’s 2012 Spring Male Athlete of the Year, is back to lead the rotation. He wound up 6-1 with a 1.37 earned run aver-age last season and was close to unhittable in the playoffs. He looks to do it again before heading off to St. Joseph’s Col-lege next year. Senior Connor Murphy will be in the number two slot and junior Addison Foltmer is another daunting pitcher who will make life miserable for the opposition. A pair of sophomores, Noah Nelson, the football quarter-back, and Luke Velas, who was hampered by a back malady last year, provide pitching depth. If that’s not enough to keep op-posing coaches awake at night, the prospect of junior Will D’Agostino coming in to close games guarantees insomnia. Unlike some top squads, the Yachtsmen don’t have just one ace. They will put quality on the hill every time out. Sophomore Connor MacDowell will be the

catcher.Falmouth will be tough at the

plate as well. D’Agostino (short-stop, .308 with a second-best-on-the-team 16 RBI last season), Seniors Andrew Emple (first base), Seamus Powers (desig-nated hitter/outfield) and Drew Proctor (second base, who hit leadoff last year), all first-team all-stars in 2012, will pace the offense, with help from Foltmer and Murphy, who will be in the outfield when they don’t pitch. Junior Patrick Lydon will see more time this season in the out-field. Senior Connor McLeany, an outfielder who played JV last year, sophomore utilityman Ca-leb Lydick and freshmen Connor Aube (outfield) will also be in the mix for playing time.

Unlike last season, when they were still able to sneak up on the favorites, the Yachtsmen (who opened Wednesday at Cape Eliz-abeth) will be wearing a huge bulls-eye this spring. Every day will bring championship game-like intensity, but Falmouth has the horses and hunger to meet every challenge. It won’t come easily, but by season’s end, the Yachtsmen should be one of the best teams in Western B and if they can stay healthy, they have a great shot to say goodbye to Class B with another champion-ship coronation.

“We lost four starters, but we return a good nucleus,” said Yachtsmen coach Kevin Win-ship, our Coach of the Year last spring, who enters his fourth

Abundance of track stars this springBy Michael Hoffer

The sky’s the limit for local runners, jumpers and throwers this spring.

Falmouth’s boys are defending another Class B championship. The Yachtsmen graduated a lot of their points, but have plenty of talent in reserve. Jacob Buhelt is the reigning Class B champion in the 200 (he was also third in the 100) and along with Grant Burfeind, was part of a champion 400 relay team. Another top sprinter projects to be freshman Tony St. Angelo. Andy Clement and freshman Nigel

Dunn are hurdlers to watch. In the middle distance, Spencer Brown, Azad Jalali and freshman Sean Soucy lead the way. Scott Lambert and Gabe Mahoney are top return-ers in the longer distance races. They’re joined by senior Jay Lesser, junior Sage Tanner, sophomore Bryce Murdick and freshman Josh Simensky. Burfeind will be a force in the jumps. He’s joined by St. Angelo. In the throws, Matt Edmonds and Max Pacetti, along with senior Jon Walker, will contend. Alex Gowen is the top vaulter.

The Yachtsmen might take awhile to hit their stride, but they’ll get there, meaning come the postseason, they’ll be in position to make a run at the top spot. Again.

“If the pieces come together, our boys should be in the mix at states,” said 12th-year coach Danny Paul.

Greely’s boys were sixth in Class B a year ago. This year’s top returner is Nick Maynard, who was second in the long jump and fourth in the triple jump last year. Ben Giffard and Jacob Ingraham are other jump-ers to watch. Ben Ray is a threat in the pole vault. In the throws, James Ferrar leads the way. He was fourth in the shot put in 2012. Distance should be a strength on the track side as Liam Campbell (third in the mile last season) and Nathan Madeira (sixth in the mile) both return. Ian Byron, Troy Co-chran, Dan Ray, Weston Taylor and Ryder White, along with freshmen Ryan Morrison and Connor Rog, also look to score. In the sprints, keep an eye on Isaacson, Nick Sprague, junior Connor Hanley, sophomore Andrew Therriault and freshman Chris Perry. Chance Carr and Will Jackson are the lead hurdlers.

The Rangers will again be one of the best teams in the Western Maine Confer-ence and should continue their streak of five straight top 10 finishes at states. Placing in the top five is quite possible.

“The boys will be competitive, led by a deep distance crew, led by Madeira and Campbell,” said 19th-year coach John Folan. “Maynard and Ferrar are top tier in the field events. Other potential breakout athletes will help.”

Yarmouth’s boys tied for 15th in Class B a year ago and have some athletes who could score at the conference and state meets. Ben Decker was fourth at states a year ago in the two-mile and should be an elite distance runner again. Wes Crawford, Tom Robichaud and sophomores Sam Gerken and Ben Vigue and freshman Ian Murrin also look to score in the longer races. Travis Hamre could be elite in the sprints. He’s joined by juniors David Clemmer, Michael Salvesen and Chandler Smith. On the field side, Darren Shi is a top thrower, while Robichaud hopes to soar in the pole vault.

The Clippers will be competitive in the regular season and could improve on last year’s showing at the big meets.

“We have some talent,” said second-year coach Hank Richards. “The kids are working hard. Our numbers are good. Our distance and middle-distance will carry us. We’ll have some highlights in the sprints. With our numbers and our athletes, we’re getting there.”

NYA junior hurdler Jillian Bjorn-Caron is one of numerous talented track and field athletes

competing this spring.

In Western C, North Yarmouth is com-ing off another superb season, which saw it place second at the state meet. Returning state scorers include Michael McIntosh and 2012 Spring Male Athlete of the Year Jake Burns from a Class C champion 400 relay. Burns will be a top sprinter, hurdler and jumper this season. Other top sprinters project to be El Tayeb Dahia and McIntosh. Dean Walters comes over from tennis and hopes to be a factor in the sprints as well. Duncan George and John LeBlanc lead the distance contingent. Chase Gendron is a top thrower.

The Panthers did graduate a lot of points, but this group is primed to step up and continue the program’s recent excellence. NYA will be in the hunt for June glory once again.

“We graduated over half our team,” said coach Chris Mazzurco, now in his 17th year. “The Class of 2012 scored a large percentage of our points in major competi-tion, but they left behind a strong legacy. The younger athletes have come into the spring working hard and are determined to continue where last year’s team left off. If we can focus on staying healthy and train-ing some new skills, we’ll see some strong individual and relay performances at the championship meets which many in turn, yield some surprising team results.”

Freeport tied for ninth in the Class C meet last season. The Falcons return state scorers Harrison Stivers (part of a first place 3,200 relay team and runner-up in the 400) and Zach Merrill (part of the relay cham-pion). Stivers is looking to win the 400 this season and will also compete in the 800. Merrill will focus on the 800 and the mile, as will Mark Donahue. Braden Marstaller could be strong in middle distance. Tyler

Julian, Eric Wentworth and Nicholas Wil-son are top sprinters. Freshmen Eric Brobst (800, mile) and Darnel Strother (shot put) are new names to file away. Merrill also throws the javelin.

Freeport has what it takes to hold its own against some tremendous competition in the regular season and to make a run at another top 10 finish at states.

“We continue to grow,” said fifth-year coach Brian Berkemeyer. “We now have over 50 kids participating. We continue to be a young team, but this year, we have a great core of seasoned qualifiers. A few students who did well indoors are bringing their skill to outdoor. We’ll be strong in the running events.”

On the girls’ side, Greely was runner-up to Waterville at last year’s state meet and will be solid again. Gwen Sawyer was runner-up in the shot put last spring and just won it indoors. She was also third in the discus and could move up. She’s joined in the throws by freshman Alyssa Casarez. Kelsey Saunders was second in the triple jump, third in the high jump and seventh in the long jump a year ago. This season, she’ll go for the top spot and will get com-pany from Sarah Ingraham, Julia Ramseyer, Kaley Sawyer and freshmen Samantha Pynchon and Allie Swaney. Cora Lyden, Sophie McMonagle, Delaney Nolin, Nina Oberg and Lucy Wetzel are top vaulters. On

the track, Kirstin Sandreuter returns as one of the top distance runners in the state. She was runner-up in the two-mile and third in the mile last spring. Eva Bates (fourth in the two-mile), Jess Wilson (fourth in the 800), Lila Hall, Sarah Lawless, Emily Ma-son, Emma Nicholson and freshman Sophia Stickney are also threats. In the hurdles, look for Natalie Dedon, Genny Dyer and Hannah Keisman to make a run at top fin-ishes. In the sprints, Megan Boynton, Molly Fitzpatrick, Maddy McKenney, Katleen McKersie, Aspen Pray and freshman Kayla Barry all look to make a mark.

The Rangers did lose some top points scorers, but they’ll have another superb season and make it 23 straight years with a top five finish at states.

“The girls have a number of interesting newcomers,” Folan said. “Our team num-bers in the mid-50s, so depth is a positive. We certainly have experience. We expect to be very competitive in the league.”

Falmouth finished fifth a year ago. The loss of 2012 Spring Female Athlete of the Year Jenna Serunian (the Class B discus and shot put champion) will certainly be felt, but Falmouth does return Charlotte Cutshall (fifth in the long jump, seventh in the 100), Nevada Horne (sixth in the pole vault) and relay scorers Denali Nalamalapu, Madeline Roberts, Jillian Rothweiler and Emma Van Wickler. Joining Cutshall in the sprints this spring are Rothweiler, Magie Seitz, Sarah Sparks, Van Wickler and freshmen Sarah Dobbins, Se’ Ferrell, Seterah Jalali, Gina Pardi and Martina St. Angelo. Olivia Baranowski and Jane Pryzant are top hurdlers. Lizzie Cattell, Cassie Darrow (Falmouth’s Fall Female Athlete of the Year), Nalamalapu, Hayley Simmons, junior Rachel Simonds and freshman Alexa Hoffman look to score in the middle distance races. Roberts, sophomore Alta Farrell and freshmen Vishva Nalamalapu and Eleanor Roberts will run the longer distance events. Fresh-man Kaliegh Wimert will compete in the

racewalk. On the field side, Cutshall hopes to score even higher in the long jump. She’ll be joined in the jumps by Dobbins, Rothweiler and Seitz. Horne returns look-ing to soar in the pole vault. She’ll get company from freshmen Meghan Charest and Mary Johnson. Keirsten Dyhrberg and senior Gabby St. Angelo are top throwers.

Falmouth will be one of the best teams in the conference. A sixth consecutive top 10 finish at states is likely.

“The girls should be competitive, but Waterville is still loaded,” Paul said. “We hope to stay with Greely and York.”

Yarmouth was 21st in Class B last spring and returns some promise. Megan Smith (tied for fourth in the pole vault) and Gina Robertson (sixth in the javelin) are return-ing scorers. Abby Vogel (throws), Katie Overhaug (throws), junior Chapin Dorsett (throws) and freshman Emma Egan (jumps) are other field athletes to watch. On the track side, Emma Pidden could be a top hurdler, Dorsett and Egan will contend in the sprints and hurdles and Sydney Sperber and sophomore Simone Laverierre will lead the pack in the distance events.

This group also expects to hang tough dur-ing the regular year, then have some individ-uals impress at the WMC and state meets.

In Class C, NYA, coming off a 12th-place finish a year ago, returns Kayla Rose, who was runner-up in the discus at last year’s state meet, and Muriel Adams, fourth in the discus. Between them, NYA will be solid in the throws. Jillian Bjorn-Caron and freshman Linnea Hull are jumpers to watch. On the track, Bjorn-Caron will run sprints and hurdle. Hannah Austin returns in the distance events. Several other newcom-ers are worth keeping an eye on as well. Sophomore Maddie Cutten runs everything from the sprints to hurdles to distance and freshmen Emily Baker (sprints), Winter Fe-male Athlete of the Year Sonia Lin (sprints, hurdles) and Kate Hilscher (distance) hope to make their mark.

NYA could move up into the top 10 this spring, all the while setting the stage for more triumph in the years to come.

“We have an exceptionally young team this year with only one senior on the team and three juniors,” Mazzurco said. “The freshmen and sophomores bring strong talent, work ethic and a positive attitude to an already strong core of returning up-perclassmen. While there is much learning to be done, the team is getting stronger by the day.”

Freeport placed 17th in Class C a year ago and several scorers return. Kelsey Grant was sixth in the 200 and seventh in the 100 last season. She’s a top sprinter and will also throw the javelin. Hayley Steckler was seventh in the 400 and scored in two relays a year ago. She’ll join Grant in looking to produce top results in the sprints. Ciera Wentworth (seventh in the 800) is a top dis-tance runner. Elly Bengtsson (part of a sev-enth-place 1,600 relay team a year ago) will also be heard from. Emily Morang looks to score in the middle distance. Junior Lexi Dietrich and freshman Chloe Hight hope to step in and make their mark in the sprints.

Big things might be in store for the Fal-cons in the weeks to come.

“It will be fun to see who develops,” said Berkemeyer. “As always, we view track as a sport for all. We want to see everybody improve and feel confident with their ability and effort.”

get back to the playoffs after falling short last year.

The Clippers have the luxury of fielding two strong pitchers. Senior Mckenzie Gray (a first-team all-star last spring) was superb in a season-opening 5-1 win at Freeport. Junior Alexa Sullivan will see time on the hill as well. Freshmen Mari Cooper, Libby King and Cat Thompson also pitch and will be developed to help the program going forward. Fall Female Athlete of the Year Monica Austin (a junior, who plays shortstop and third base) looks like a top hitter. She had a two-run double in the opener. Sophomore Katie Brown drove in a pair of runs as well, while senior Carlene Shaw had one RBI. Other top hitters project to be Gray, sophomore Kallie Hutchinson (a second-team all-star in 2012), junior Melissa Levinson and Sullivan (who plays shortstop when she’s not pitching). Cooper (outfield), King (second base) and Thomp-son (third base) hope to produce some key base knocks as well.

The program has gotten a jolt with its dynamic new coach and there is enough talent in place for the Clippers to make a run. Early success could snowball. Let’s not forget that in 2011, the Clippers won

14 times. The girls know how to get the job done. This year’s team is primed to make a leap back to contention and to perhaps steal some thunder in June.

“We’re very excited about this group of girls,” said McMullin. “They’ve responded well to a new style of coaching and seem to be off to a great start. We have young talent who will be thrown into the mix and we really need to come together as a team if we want to reach our goals. We have to continue to work hard both physically and mentally, so we’re playing our best softball late in the season.”

Falmouth, which went 8-9 in 2012, losing, 7-4, to Gray-New Gloucester in the preliminary round of the playoffs, welcomes Ray Fox back as coach. Fox led the Yachtsmen in 2003 and 2004 and has spent the past six seasons coaching at the middle school level. He replaces John Keyes and takes over a program that should be in contention for a third straight playoff appearance.

Junior Amanda Carver returns to the mound and is joined by promising fresh-man Julia Treadwell, who will see some innings. Replacing first-team all-star catcher Alli Carver will be a challenge, but junior Alyse Bazinet, with help from fresh-man Jessica Collins, will look to step in. The infield is led by second-team all-star

senior Maddie Inlow, the shortstop, who could be the team’s top hitter. Senior Jayde Bazinet (second base) joins her to make up a formidable middle infield combination. Treadwell and sophomore Elizabeth Walker (another potent bat) will see time at first base. Collins will play third. Alyse Bazinet, Amanda Carver and Walker will help fill spots in the outfield.

Falmouth (which opened at Cape Eliza-beth Wednesday) has its share of athletes and has enough pitching to allow it to contend in a difficult league. Look for the Yachtsmen to show steady improvement and be a dangerous team by the end of the year. If Falmouth can get back to the play-offs, it will be a team no one wishes to play

“I’m very pleased with the work ethic from the small but competitive group of core players, along with an influx of 14 freshman creating some much needed competition for playing time,” Fox said. “Our goal is to improve and compete every day and win enough to contend and make the playoffs.”

Freeport (6-10 in 2012) has fallen short of the postseason 10 years running, but that drought could come to a close this spring. The Falcons are coached this year by Mike Perry, who served as an assistant with the team a year ago.

He has some talent to work with, in-

cluding first-team league all-star senior Leigh Wyman, who returns as the ace for one final season. Junior Jess Perry is the catcher. Wyman and senior Necole Harrison (infield) figure to pace the offense. Senior Hannah Chase (infield), sophomore Lauren Cormier (infield), senior Helen Humphrey (outfield) and junior Vanessa Lee (outfield) all have experience. Senior outfielder Amanda Miles is a new player to watch.

Freeport will have its chances early to make a statement against some of the league’s better teams (it did drop its opener to Yarmouth, 5-1). The Falcons know that Wyman will be consistent on the hill. If the bats can come through, the wins will follow (five of last year’s losses came by one or two runs). Freeport is close to moving up the ladder. This could be the spring that the Falcons win more than they lose and get to play a game in June.

“We hope to continue to build from last year and turn the corner,” Perry said. “We need to get a big win against a top opponent early in the season. If we can do that, we can set the tone for the whole year.”

North Yarmouth Academy doesn’t field a varsity softball team.

season with a 38-17 overall record. “Three of our four infielders are back and we have pitching depth. We’ll see everybody’s number one pitcher. Every-one will be trying to beat us. We hope to get good pitching and defense and timely hitting. If we do, we have a shot to be there again.”

Falmouth will have plenty of company at the top of the standings, including other local teams.

One that’s been consistently strong over the past several seasons is Yarmouth, which went 11-7 last year, falling, 7-1,

in 10 innings, to Cape Elizabeth in the semifinals. This year’s team could get back to that point and even take it all the way to the state game for the first time in Class B.

On the mound, seniors Chester Jacobs (5-2, 1.75 earned run average last season) and Nick Lainey (3-1, 2.63 ERA) and sophomores Jordan Brown and Ethan Perrier give the Clippers talent and depth. The lineup features speed and pop. Se-nior Caleb Uhl, a second-team all-star last year, is the leadoff guy and plays centerfield. He hit .298 with 17 hits and 25 runs scored a year ago. Senior Calvin Cooper (.422, 19 hits, nine RBI), the catcher, could emerge as one of the top

players in the region. He’ll look to drive in runs, along with first-baseman-when-he-doesn’t-pitch Lainey (.267, 12 hits), senior shortstop Thomas Sullivan (.328, 16 RBI) and Perrier (first base). Seniors Kevin Haley (second base) and Matt Highland (third base) will spark the bot-tom half of the order. Senior catcher/third baseman Ian Grover will also contribute.

Yarmouth (which beat Freeport in the opener, 5-2, behind two RBI apiece from Cooper and Lainey and a strong pitching effort from Lainey and Jacobs) has a lot of tough foes on the schedule, but is sea-soned when it comes to big games. There are a lot of quality teams in Western B, but there’s every reason to believe that

Yarmouth can be the best of the bunch.“We’re excited for the season,’ said

seventh-year coach Marc Halsted (73-37 overall). “We have 12 seniors who’ve worked hard for four years as high school and American Legion players. Obviously, Falmouth, Greely and York have big names, but we’re going to be a scrappy, tough group who competes every day. Our goal, as always, is to win 10-plus games, make the playoffs and rely on our veteran group to lead us as far as we can go.”

Greely is always in the hunt and was the best team in the regular season last spring, but finished 15-2 after a 9-6 upset loss to Cape Elizabeth in the quarterfinals. While graduation certainly decimated the roster, the cupboard isn’t close to bare.

Senior Jonah Normandeau and junior Bailey Train are tremendous building blocks. Normandeau is one of the state’s special players. He was Greely’s 2012 Spring Male Athlete of the Year, was a first-team all-conference pitcher and won the Rupert Johnson Award (as the Western Maine Conference’s top Class B player) after going 5-0 with a 0.48 earned run average, while also hitting to the tune of a .408 average and 18 RBI. He can be close to unhittable at times (and in fact threw a perfect game against Lake Region last spring). Train is a game-changer as well. He was 4-1 with 43 strikeouts and a 1.71 ERA on the hill last season and crushed opposing pitching for 17 RBI while batting .400. He’s another first-team all-star. Sophomore Will Bryant is the potential next top arm. He’ll become a household name as the season progresses. Senior Matt Ames and sopho-more Reid Howland will catch, replacing all-conference standout Pete Stauber, who graduated. All-star Liam Maker’s gradua-tion will hurt, but this season, infielders to watch include senior shortstop Nick Dun-nett and sophomore second baseman Miles Shields. Big things are expected from junior Tommy Buchholz in the outfield. There’s an abundance of other players who will contribute (coach Derek Soule and his as-sistants always make the most of the roster).

Greely’s pitching depth, athleticism, hit-ting and overall baseball IQ will once again lead to great things. The Rangers (who opened Monday against Fryeburg) will make the playoffs. They’ll have a high seed and this time, they’ll stay awhile. Don’t be surprised if Normandeau and Train lead Greely all the way to the promised land.

“Graduation claimed seven starters,’ said 14th year coach Derek Soule (186-56-1 overall). “Falmouth and Yarmouth are load-ed. Yarmouth will probably go undefeated.

We hope to gain experience and improve as the year progresses and possibly make the playoffs.”

Freeport made the playoffs last season (losing, 4-0, to Cape Elizabeth in the pre-liminary round to wind up 10-7) for the first time since 2004. Graduation did hit the Falcons very hard, as 10 players moved on. On the glass half full side, there are good players returning, with some new kids ea-ger to make their mark.

Senior shortstop and pitcher Connor Dietrich (a second-team league all-star and one of the program’s top players of recent vintage), senior third baseman/pitcher Dan Burke (a potential top hitter), junior second baseman Niko DiFazio and senior first baseman Nick Cartmell (who was injured much of 2012, but who could be a top hitter this spring), make up a formidable infield. Senior Brian Rhea is back and will be behind the plate. Strong senior hitters Cole Harrison (outfield) and James Purdy (pitch-ing, outfield) also have experience. Senior Brandon Williams, an infielder who missed last year with injury, is seasoned as well. Coach Hank Ogilby will turn to several of last year’s junior varsity players to step in and contribute.

Freeport’s biggest question mark going into the season is offense. If the runs come, however, the wins will too. The Falcons dropped their opener, 5-2, at Yarmouth, but DiFazio had two hits and scored both runs. Freeport should be able to compete with the many good teams on its schedule. While the Falcons don’t have quite as much fire-power as a year ago, they don’t anticipate

a big drop in production and should be in the playoff hunt.

“We really enjoyed a great year last year,” said Ogilby (76-136 overall in 13 previous seasons). “We have a lot of holes to fill. The good news is that we have a pretty solid pitching staff and have several excellent players returning, most significantly our en-tire infield. Defense and pitching can take a baseball team a long way and I believe that we have both of these. I’m excited about the season and am very much looking for-

ward to working with these seniors one last time. This group of seniors is talented and hardworking, but more importantly, they consistently demonstrate all the dedication, character and integrity you could ever want in a high school athlete. They are truly out-standing young men.”

Out & About

‘The Armed Man’ is powerful new balletBy Scott Andrews

This week’s top picks in the perform-ing arts cover a lot of artistic territory: music, musical theater and dance. The latter is represented by Portland Ballet’s powerful new production of “The Armed Man,” a work for chorus, orchestra and dancers that will be presented at Merrill Auditorium on April 26.

One Longfellow Square continues to present top roots acts. The Howlin’ Brothers, slated for this Friday, is a gritty three-man Americana band from Nash-ville that’s making waves nationally.

Portland Symphony Orchestra wraps up its 2012-2013 Pops season this Satur-day and Sunday with “Totally Awesome ‘80s,” a celebration of the music of that dynamic decade.

Lyric Music Theater is wrapping up its season of musical theater this week-end with the final performances of “The Drowsy Chaperone,” appropriately sub-titled “A Musical Within A Comedy.”

‘The Armed Man’“We want to go beyond good. We want

to be eye-opening.”That statement, by Portland Bal-

let Company artistic director Eugenia O’Brien, expresses her attitude toward her organization’s upcoming production of “The Armed Man.”

Subtitled “A Mass For Peace,” “The Armed Man” is a major new piece of choreography based on a score by con-temporary Welsh composer Karl Jenkins.

“The Armed Man” is the universalized story of a soldier, based on texts from historical and contemporary sources.

As a purely musical work for chorus and orchestra, “The Armed Man” has been performed around the world about a thousand times. The choreography, by PBC associate artistic director Nell Ship-man, is totally new and will premiere this Friday.

Shipman explains: “This piece follows a soldier, represented by two different men as his body and soul, facing the realities of struggling within the task of saving lives by taking lives, having his own life taken and finally finding the strength to realize there is always light no matter how dark the way to it may be.”

The cast comprises two men, who rep-resent the soldier, and about two dozen women, who dance a variety of solo and supporting roles. The Choral Art Society, augmented by a small symphony orches-tra, will also perform.

O’Brien describes her company’s new work as “contemporary ballet,” noting that “we’re really involved with what happens with this whole art form.”

Shipman describes her terpsichorean

creation in more general terms: “It’s a statement of faith in the human spirit, which is one of the most powerful things on this earth.”

Portland Ballet presents “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” at 8 p.m. April 26 at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

The Howlin’ BrothersThree Ithaca College students, all hail-

ing from northern states, found success playing traditional music of the southern Appalachians, then moved to Nashville to pursue their dreams.

That’s the quick take on The Howlin’ Brothers, who released their latest CD last month – appropriately named “Howl” – and are now touring the country to sup-port it. The three guys, who are brothers in spirit only, motor into Portland’s One Longfellow Square this Friday.

Although they look like a bluegrass band, and at times incorporate bluegrass trappings and rhythms, the Howlin’ Brothers are most decidedly an Ameri-cana string band that also embraces ele-ments of rock, pop, gospel, jazz, R&B, Dixieland and country blues.

The Howlin’ Brothers comprise Ben Plasse on upright bass and banjo, Ian Craft on fiddle, mandolin, and banjo, and Jared Green on guitar and harmonica. All three share vocals and harmonies. Since 2005 they’ve been living and working in Nashville.

Listening to some MP3s and watch-ing some videos, I’m impressed by their instrumental prowess and their artistic vi-sion. I expect them to draw a good crowd when they appear this Friday.

One Longfellow Square (corner of State and Congress in Portland) presents The Howlin’ Brothers at 8 p.m. April 26. Call 761-1757.

PSO PopsAs spring flowers and green foliage at

last appear, it’s also time for the 2012-2013 seasons of Maine’s arts producers and presenters to disappear. This week-end marks the finale of the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s Pops series, and the season-ending theme is music of the 1980s.

Maestro Robert Moody has invited a pair of singers to appear with his 80-piece orchestra in a program that includes hit tunes written or performed by artists such as Madonna, The Police, Michael Jordan, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springs-teen and half a dozen others.

The PSO’s guest artists will be Tony Vincent and Christina DeCicco. Vincent is a recording-artist who is best known for his appearance on the second season of NBC television’s reality singing com-petition, “The Voice.” His stage work includes “American Idiot” on Broadway, plus he has fronted the band Queen on several occasions.

DeCicco has toured the U.S. perform-ing in musical theater. She currently portrays the role of Eva Peron twice a week in the Broadway revival of “Evita.” Previously she starred in “Wicked” and

was in the original cast of “Sister Act.”Portland Symphony Orchestra presents

“Totally Awesome ’80s” twice this week-end at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall: 7:30 p.m. April 27 at 2:30 p.m. April 28. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

‘The Drowsy Chaperone’Several generations ago, Broadway

musicals were typically referred to as musical comedies. A few still merit that title, and one of the most deserving of the moniker is “The Drowsy Chaperone,” which played the Great White Way in 2006-2007. That production won two Tony Awards: for Best Book, by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, and Best Score, by Lisa Lambert and Greg Mor-rison.

“The Drowsy Chaperone” is a fantasy-parody of musical comedies of the 1920s, and employs a show-within-a-show concept with many instances of overt theatricality.

Lyric Music Theater is closing its sea-son of musicals with a superb community production this very funny and tuneful musical comedy. The very capable large cast is led by director Mary Meserve, and I felt that seven stood out above the rest.

The top women are Veronica Diebold as a ditzy show-biz diva and ingenue, Cynthia O’Neil as an air-headed older woman and Jennine Cannizzo as the tipsy title character.

Among the men, my favorites are Michael Donovan as the narrator, David Aaron Van Duyne as the clueless dashing juvenile, Peter Salisbury as an unflap-pable butler and Caleb Lacy as a clumsy comic Latin Lothario. Special mention is also earned by Alex Pratt and Jim Shim-inski as a pair of stereotyped gangsters.

Lyric Music Theater, 176 Sawyer St. in South Portland, presents two final per-formances of “The Drowsy Chaperone,” April 26-27 at 8 p.m. Call 799-1421.

project, Chad Coffin, to send an email immediately after leaving the meeting, announcing his resignation from the Shellfish Commission.

“I think we certainly got the message tonight that the council has very little trust in the shellfish program and in our ability to get something done and done right,” Coffin said in the email. “I’ll send you my resignation from the shellfish commission (as soon as possible). I’ve put way too much of my personal time and money into this effort as it is and simply can no longer afford to do it.”

Councilors struck the project’s ap-propriation from the fiscal 2014 capital budget, which they adopted Tuesday. They scheduled a special meeting for April 30, where they will again discuss if they want to include it.

“I’m uncomfortable getting something tonight and then being asked to vote on it,” Councilor Kristina Egan said, adding that in general she is a proponent of the plan. “I want to make sure as we come out of this project, we have really good data.”

Three councilors were ready to spend previously appropriated money and provide funding for next year, including Councilor Scott Gleeson.

“We’ve been batting this thing around for a while now,” Gleeson said. “I don’t think another meeting is going to do us

any good. ... I think the project should start moving forward.”

One of the project’s immediate road-blocks is the need for a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to lay strategic fencing around clam flats. The town will submit a permit application to the Corps within the next few days.

Town Manager Peter Joseph said he expects to hear back on the application in about three weeks, although Corps project reviewer LeAnn Neal said it could take up to 60 days, which could disrupt the scheduling of the project.

Without seeing the application, Neal said she could not comment on its likeli-hood of approval, noting that the main concern with a fencing project would be creation of an impediment for other spe-cies to navigate the waters.

If the permit is denied, the overall project would have to be scaled back. That led councilors to question whether equipment should be purchased if the scope of project could change.

The purpose of the project is to help discover what’s causing clam popula-tions in southern Maine to disappear. Clammers and scientists working on the project hope the data will bring them closer to bringing back a resource they’ve seen in dramatic decline in recent years.

The Shellfish Commission, which is overseeing the project, originally hired Brunswick-based consultant Resource Access International to study the fac-tors contributing to the decline of clam

populations.The consultant’s work focuses not

only on the green crab problem, but also on other significant issues believed to be contributing to the decline of crabs, including ocean acidification and disease.

In coordination with that study, which is funded through a matching state grant,

the commission also planned to launch a larger trapping and fencing campaign. The combined project is supposed to run from summer to the end of the year.

After reviewing the plans in March, the council delayed the appropriation and

directed the commission to sync the two plans into a “hybrid.”

With the help of Brian Beal, a biologist and professor at the University of Maine at Machias, the commission combined the plans, and the result was presented to the council Tuesday night.

Beal, who has studied the problem for decades and is consulting on the Freeport study, said this project is different from others.

“This is something I’ve been doing since 1988. What that has shown is that green crabs can be deterred from areas, which allows more clams to survive and more clams to settle,” he said. “All my studies have been small-scale, not large like this one in Freeport, and that’s the innovative part of this study.”

Clammers are currently on a four-day work week before the summer season be-gins. If the project is delayed, the avail-able volunteers may quickly disappear.

operating budgets separately. The oper-ating budget discussions begin in May, when residents will have the chance to meet with department heads about their proposed budgets.

The capital improvement budget large-ly remained intact from the last budget discussion at the beginning of the month,

And while Beal is interested in the scientific aspect of the study, clammers like Coffin worry that if they don’t start taking defensive steps now, it will soon be too late to do anything.

“This is the greatest natural resource threat in the state and no one knows about it,” Coffin said on April 19 as he prepared green crab traps to drop into Harraseeket River bay. “If we can’t defend these areas, it’s really our last chance.”Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected].

with the largest spending proposals com-ing from the Public Works Department, comprehensive town improvements and upgrades to municipal facilities.

Public Works reduced its request from $479,000 to $289,000, pushing the pur-chase of new equipment and vehicles into the future. The largest expenses are a $115,000 truck chassis and a dump truck bed plow and wing attachment for $94,000.

The town also is looking to con-tinue work on a $150,000 drainage and overlay project on Torrey Hill Range Road, which is the largest portion of the $245,000 worth of comprehensive town improvements.

According to town staff at previous meetings, the road has had maintenance over the years, but some areas continue to degrade and have drainage issues.

The council struck a few items from the fiscal 2014 facilities budget, reducing it by $84,000 from earlier projections of about $268,000. Several items were put off for future years, including computer

upgrades and a surveillance camera at the train station platform.

The Greater Freeport Chamber of Commerce had its funding request cut in half by the council to $16,000. It will also see that funding cut in half again the following year and eventually reduced to $1,000 by 2016.

Although the structure of the orga-nization will be debated in the coming months, the Freeport Economic Develop-ment Corp., a private corporation funded by the town, will keep its $105,000 in funding. The majority of that funding pays for Executive Director Keith Mc-Bride’s $90,000 salary.

The town will host a series of meetings next month on the operating budget, with the first workshop on May 7. The final combined public budget hearing will be May 21, with its adoption scheduled for June 4.

The RSU 5 school budget will go to voters June 11.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

Maine Beer Co. co-owners Dave and Daniel Kleban at their new Freeport brewery on Thursday, April 18.

Maine Beerfrom page 1

formal tours, but may plan specific event tours in the future, Croteau said.

Another change from the Portland loca-tion will be the addition of retail clothing and gear sales. Patrons can also buy beer to go, although only in their odd-sized, European bottles.

Croteau said half-gallon growlers, which are filled to-go and popular with many standalone breweries, are not part of the plan right now for the tap room. Although that might change, she said, much of their decision to not fill growlers, in addition to needing equipment and training, is the potential negative impact on taste.

“Freshness is a huge factor for us and making sure it’s not exposed to light and heat,” she said, noting that with their hoppy beers, the aroma and taste can quickly dis-sipate.

The main reason for the tasting room is to be accessible, Dave Kleban said.

“We got beat up by out fans for that,” he said. “We basically weren’t accessible to public.”

The new brewing space is a stark change from the former location off Forest Avenue in Portland, which could probably fit inside the new brewery a few times over.

Brewing equipment lines most of the south wall, leaving room for additional fermenters. The large, open middle section of the brewery provides generous room for operations and is partially lit by sunlight pouring in through the clerestory windows.

The brewery can now churn out about 5,000 barrels of beer per year, up from 3,000 in Portland, said Daniel Kleban, who manages brewing operations.

“It’s a custom-built brewery,” he said. “It’s definitely a lot more pleasant.”

Outside of the brewery, they also have a storage room for conditioning beers. Kle-ban said they will also be experimenting with a small-scale barrel-aging program, but it’s still in the early stages.

The home-brewing brothers, who moved from Michigan about 10 years ago, started the brewery without a stylistic bent in mind, Dave Kleban said. And with the latest ex-pansion, that’s not changing.

“We make beers we like to drink,” Kle-ban said. “That’s rule No. 1.”

They also want to keep customers, and their brewers, interested, he said, adding that the pilot series, which will alternate every couple months, is designed to do that.

The large barn-like brewery could allow them to grow into a much bigger brewery,

Kleban said, but that’s not the goal.“It looks like this big, impressive build-

ing,” he said. “You could do 10 times as much beer here, but that’s not our intention. It’s growth, but it’s not going from a tiny brewery to 50,000 barrels.”

Maine Beer Co. now distributes in 11 markets in nine states and has about 10 employees.

And while the Kleban brothers are both passionate about beer, together they also make solid business partners: Dave is a financial analyst, and Daniel is an attorney.

“It’s been a great advantage,” Dave Kle-ban said. “Daniel took on the science of the beer and I took on the science of the business.”

And to continue brewing in the ever-

growing craft beer market, their skills will be put to the test.

The number of breweries in Maine, and the country, continues to climb, with nearly one brewery opening every day, according to the Brewer’s Association, a national craft beer industry group.

When Maine Beer Co. opened in 2009, the total number of breweries was about 1,600. Now, there are about 2,500, includ-ing one rumored for their former location.

“When we opened in 2009, the economy kind of sucked, but not for craft beer,” Dan-iel Kleban said.

Still, the brewing community in Maine is more “collegial” than competitive, he said, noting that despite their rapid growth, craft breweries only make up about 6.5 percent of the entire domestic market, with the few conglomerate “big beer” corporations tak-ing in the lion’s share.

“It’s more of a collective feeling. We’re not fighting for the same market share,” Kleban said of Maine’s craft beer industry. “I’m not sure if it’ll always be that way, but it’s a pretty tight community around here. ... There’s still a lot of room to grow.”

Dave Kleban said that the rampant growth in breweries is good, but it also has its pitfalls. He said while it means more beer, it might not always mean quality beer.

“A lot of people get into it for the wrong reasons,” he said. “As kids, we’re told not to touch things that are hot, but as adults we ignore that. We’re strange beings.”

Kleban said for Maine Beer to be where it is in four years took hard work and dedi-cation, skimping on luxuries.

“It’s not the magic in the label or a fancy cap,” he said. “It’s about what’s in the bottle.”

down” Boylston Street, hoping to have a “mellow day,” and was within yards of the finish line. The trio were searching for another friend in the crowd when the first bomb exploded.

They were standing in a triangle, and Girouard took the brunt of the blast.

“I felt this hot pop hit my leg and ev-erything went blurry,” she said. “(There was) dust and smoke, and my ears were ringing – it was that high-pitched, white noise – and then people started scream-ing.”

Girouard and one of her two room-

mates ran for cover inside a nearby building.

“The first thing that registered was that it was fireworks. It would have never oc-curred to me that it could have been an actual bomb,” she said.

“It was really surreal. ... The whole smoke and dust and pieces of clothing falling that were on fire. It was that white noise. I couldn’t really hear anything, but I knew people were screaming.”

After finding shelter in the building, the pair realized their other roommate was missing, but soon received a text that she was OK.

Girouard then noticed her leg was bleeding.

“People flooded over to help,” she said.Two men lifted her off the ground and

carried her toward the race medical tent. She was put into a wheelchair and pushed the rest of the way, she said.

Medics were checking the wounded and labeling them with colors accord-ing to their injuries, she said. Girouard was labeled yellow, level two. She was wrapped in blankets, including around her head, which blocked her view of most of the tent.

“I was probably in the tent maybe 20 or 30 minutes,” she said. “The pain was throbbing at that point,” because the tent, set up to treat marathon injuries, was run-ning out of pain killers.

Her roommate stayed with her in the tent and was her “correspondent” to fam-ily and friends, and kept them updated on her condition.

Sue Girouard, who had been in Boston a few days earlier to visit her daughter, said she learned about the bombing after friends sent messages to find out if Sarah was safe.

“I just flew home immediately and tried to call Sarah,” she said, but couldn’t reach her. “The worst thoughts go through your head.”

Within 10 minutes, she said, she and her husband, Chris, were on the road to

Boston.Meanwhile, Girouard was separated from her friend

and put into an ambulance with three other runners, one of whom, she said, had passed out about a quarter of a mile from the finish line. They were taken to Tufts Medical Center.

When they arrived the halls were lined with doctors and nurses, she said, and she was the rushed into an emergency room. A cousin, who works nearby, came to keep her company before her parents arrived.

Soon after she was taken into surgery, where doctors removed pieces of metal from her leg – including one the size of her thumb, Girouard said. Just below her knee, shrapnel had shot straight through, breaking the bone.

Other shrapnel pieces, which were much smaller, were not removed and will naturally fall out, Girouard said doctors told her.

After the surgery, her dad asked if they could keep the large piece of shrapnel, but hospital staff said it had to be turned over to the FBI for evidence.

Girouard was questioned by the FBI and police, but said she hadn’t seen anything strange before the explo-sion.

Although the events were traumatic and haven’t com-pletely settled with her, Girouard said the emotional impact hasn’t been overwhelming, mostly because her head was down and she didn’t see the gore.

“It hasn’t been emotionally difficult,” she said. “I didn’t really see anything. If I had, I would have been more affected. It wasn’t as traumatic as it could have been.”

Girouard, who is supposed to be taking her finals at Northeastern, is instead resting at her parent’s house. She also said it would be too difficult to stay at her Boston apartment, where she lives on the third floor in a building without an elevator.

Another adjustment will involve the three-day, 180-

Erica Lynn Jordan of Westbrook was born fullterm at a healthy birth weight. At two daysold, doctors discovered she had TricuspidAtresia, which means she was missing aTricuspid Valve and most of her right ventricle.At five weeks, a shunt was inserted to helpwith her heart’s blood flow. At eleven weeks,she suffered cardiac arrest and a slightstroke. Doctors believed the shunt had closedso a new one was placed on the other side.At two years old, she underwent a FontanProcedure. In this open heart surgery, thelarge vein from the lower half of the body(the inferior vena cava) as well as the veinsfrom the liver are connected to the lungarteries. She was not able to get off of theventilator so four days later they removedsome of the repairs. At four years old, theFontan procedure was attempted and wassuccessful until a year or two later whenshe started having Pulmonary Hemoptysis(coughing up blood). Capillaries hadattached to her lungs and were bleeding into them. This happened every three or four months, even aftersome repairs, but eventually stopped when she was 11. Now at age 25, she has started to experience a rapidheartbeat so she has an ablation procedure to correct that problem. She is told her heart is looking strong!

“Without your support, the procedures that helped keep my heart going would nothave existed. More research is still needed so that others living with heart defectsdo not have to suffer like I did. Please join me in raising funds at the Heart Walk!”

mile bicycle Trek Across Maine in June, which she had signed up to do with her sister. Now, she’ll have to skip that. In-stead, the family plans to take a vacation in South Carolina.

But the bombing will not keep her from attending another Boston Marathon.

“It just amazed me at how united and strong Boston is,” Girouard said. “It’s just

a really cool city to be a part of.”On April 18, she listened to President

Barack Obama’s speech at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. She was invited to the interfaith service, but de-clined to attend.

“I’m trying to focus on the here and now,” Girouard said, “and getting better and making sure my friends are better.”
