3 towns discuss natural gas pipeline extensionBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — Three towns are looking into the fea-sibility of extending natural gas service into their communities as a less expensive way to heat buildings.

The Cumberland, Falmouth and Yarmouth town councils were scheduled to meet to-gether at Cumberland Town Hall Wednesday to hear a presenta-tion on the matter from Woodard & Curran, an engineering firm.

A natural gas pipeline already runs through the western part of Cumberland, with a line pres-sure of about 1,500 pounds per square inch, Town Manager Bill Shane said last week.

“It’s a fairly large volume of

gas,” he said.A substation would have to

be put in on that gas line, and would reduce the pressure to 100 psi, allowing a distribu-tion line to the three towns. The substation, which could

be built near the Cumberland Fairgrounds on Blanchard Road, would serve as a starting point of the system.

“Nobody would be able to

Clam Festival ritualYarmouth residents bring out their chairsBy Will Graff

YARMOUTH — Every year about this time, residents begin to notice something foreign cropping up along Main Street.

Some say it’s obnoxious and intrusive; some call it crazy. Others love it.

“They tend to appear kind of like mushrooms; you leave your house in the morning and come back, and they’ve just popped up on the lawn,” Yarmouth Police Lt. Dean Perry said.

Whatever people say about it, everyone knows what the mass deployment of chairs along Main Street means: it’s time for the Clam Festival.

The 47th annual festival quietly began Wednesday, with the soft opening of Smokey’s Greater Shows carnival. The festival gets into full swing Friday, with the official start to the weekend and what all the chair-owners have been wait-ing for, the parade.

Staking territory with a chair on Main Street for the parade has been going on for about 15 years and has become a minor tradition, Perry said. This year was as competitive as he’s seen it.

“I think we’ve reached a new low this year,” Perry said. “We’ve had a chair chained to a ‘no parking’ sign

preparation for the annual Clam Festival parade, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday, July 20.

since the end of May, which I thought was hilarious.”

This year will mark Sheryl Winchester’s family’s third Clam Festival. For the last two years, they’ve set out chairs on Main Street near the bridge to watch the parade, she said.

“Our spot is already gone,” Winchester said Monday, at the Main Street bridge area. “We were just talking about (the parade) and (the kids) said, ‘we have to get chairs

out tonight’. It seems like we set out chairs Wednesday last year.”

She said when her husband gets home from work, they’ll

bring their chairs down and try to grab some of the few good spots left.

The chairs are sort of a run-ning joke in town, said Yvonne and Peter Parent, owners of the new Yvonne Parent Massage on Main Street.

“I think it’s a little ridicu-lous,” Yvonne said, as she worked last Friday to ready her store for the Monday opening.

Water district illegally razes historic home in N. YarmouthBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — Residents at Tuesday’s Board of Selectmen meeting sharply criti-cized the illegal demolition last week of a 19th century house on Baston Road.

The Yarmouth Water District, which serves customers in Yarmouth and North Yarmouth, owns the Baston Road property and tore down the unoccupied building Friday, July 13.

Selectmen took no action Tuesday, since there was no related item on the agenda, but the board will meet with the town’s attorney and probably with district officials to discuss possible penalties, Chairman Steven Palmer said.

“There is recourse, but that is recourse that needs to be ad-dressed at a different time by the board,” Palmer said. “... There is an issue that needs to be dealt with, and that will be dealt with; there’s no question about that.”

Barbara Skelton, the town’s code enforcement officer, said Monday that a permit is required before demolition of a building, and that demolition of a pre-1900 structure requires notice to the North Yarmouth Historical Society.

No permit was issued, and the society was not notified.

“This is a huge surprise and a shock to many, many of us in the town,” society President Katie Murphy said Tuesday. “...

Petition signatures certified for North Yarmouth’s possible exit from SAD 51By Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — Resident Mark Verrill said he plans to petition the Board of Selectmen in September to put a referendum question for the eventual breakup of School Administrative District 51 on the November general election ballot.

If the referendum is approved, ne-gotiations would begin between North Yarmouth and SAD 51. A negotiated withdrawal plan would then go back to North Yarmouth and require approval by two-thirds of voters.

“I see no reason why a North Yarmouth citizen wouldn’t at least want to kick the tires on this and see what it looks like,” Verrill said last week, after he had 214 signatures validated by the town clerk’s

office – 11 more than required to approve the petition.

Verrill said he encountered some people in the signature-gathering process who were surprised by the petition and concerned about secession, while others were enthusiastic or wanted more infor-mation before signing.

Taxes are a major part of the issue for Verrill. He said last November that as a church deacon, and a selectman from 2008-2011, he has seen how many people struggle to pay their property taxes.

Verrill has said he hopes leaving SAD 51 will significantly reduce property taxes, improve the quality of education while reducing the cost, and preserve North Yarmouth’s rural character by curbing growth.

Some opponents of withdrawal have argued that secession would be expen-sive, and that the state requires a certain amount of money to be raised locally toward education, limiting the town’s ability to reduce its tax rate.

“Some of the expenses would be the same,” Verrill acknowledged. “But ... as I see it in reading the state law, there would be a lot of money, due to breaking up the district, that would be entitled for the town of North Yarmouth to get back from the district, since we’re a 30 percent shareholder and we don’t hold 30 percent of the assets here.”

He added that he believes North Yarmouth “could pretty much build a new school and have no debt on the building with money that we already have invested in SAD 51.”

The Cumberland-North Yarmouth district formed in 1966. Closure of the only district school in North Yarmouth,

the North Yarmouth Memorial School, has been recommended by a district task force as a way to save money. SAD 51 Superintendent Robert Hasson said last week that the School Board could take action on that recommendation this fall.

Verrill has said that according to 2009 statistics, Cumberland’s median annual household income was about $84,000, while North Yarmouth’s was just more than $61,000 – a “marriage” he does not believe North Yarmouth can afford.

He also noted that North Yarmouth does not have the commercial opportuni-ties enjoyed by Cumberland.

“Our contribution to the school dis-trict has to come solely on the backs of property owners, without any commercial base,” Verrill said. “And over time, if this continues, it will only get worse for North Yarmouth.”Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Few Freeport residents show up to meet town manager finalistsBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — The two final can-didates for town manager met with a small group of residents July 12, in an effort to make final impressions before the Town Council makes a selection.

The finalists – Peter Joseph Jr., 30, town manager of Lincoln, N.H., and James Doar, 34, town manager of Bethel – are vying to replace Town Manager Dale Olmstead, who is retir-ing in October after more than 30 years in the position.

The council is scheduled to make its selection in an executive session Thursday and announce the new town manager at its regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 7.

Fewer than a dozen residents, in-cluding Andy LeMaistre, 66, owner of Mitchell Ledge Farm, attended a recep-tion intended to introduce the town to the finalists and their wives.

“It’s good to have some young people; there’s enough old people in Maine,” LeMaistre said.

He said finances are always a con-cern and he hopes the candidate who is chosen will be responsible with the town’s money.

“Overall, the town manager needs to be a man who can lead,” LeMaistre said.

Before the reception with town residents, the finalists also met with the town’s administrative staff.

The recommended salary for the new manager is $99,000-$115,000, a range based on other town manager salaries in the area, Olmstead said.

The manager will oversee the town budget of $9.3 million for Freeport’s 7,900 residents.

Joseph has been town manager of Lincoln, population 1,662, since 2008 and said he has enjoyed the selection process.

“The (town) staff is great,” he said in a closing speech at the reception. “I don’t have anything bad to say and I tried really hard to find something I didn’t like.”

Town manager finalist Peter Joseph Jr., left, talks with Freeport resident Peter Murray at a public reception for the finalists on July 12. The

Will Graff / The forecasTerJames Doar, left, one of two finalists for Freeport town manager, talks with Councilor Charlotte Bishop at a public reception for the finalists

on July 12.

The Massachusetts native’s work his-tory includes being an assistant to the town administrator of Petersborough, N.H. and working as an intern for town managers in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He is also on the board of directors of the Lincoln Woodstock Chamber of Commerce.

Doar, originally from Maine, has worked as Bethel town manager since 2009 and said becoming Freeport’s town manager would be a “step up.”

“It’s a wonderful town with a good reputation, “ he said. “The first im-pression (of Freeport) is shopping. But once you get to some of the outlying areas, you see how beautiful it is.”

In addition to managing Bethel, which has a population of about 2,600, Doar, a U.S. Army veteran, has worked in Rumford as both a town manager and as a financial analyst for NewPage, a printing and paper company. He also worked as a budget analyst for the New York State budget division.

The two finalists were narrowed down from a pool of 41 applicants.

Falmouth plans discussion of Route 1 storm-water managementBy William Hall

FALMOUTH — At a public meeting next week, the town will begin taking a close look at how storm water from private land along U.S. Route 1 affects the area's water drainage system.

The meeting with Theo Holtwijk, direc-tor of long-range planning, kicks off the development of a storm-water management

N. Yarmouth firefighters net $197K grant

NORTH YARMOUTH — The town’s Fire and Rescue Department has been awarded a nearly $197,000 grant from the

plan for the commercial area of Route 1. The meeting is scheduled for July 25, at 8 a.m., at Memorial Library, 5 Lunt Road.

Falmouth will develop the storm-water plan with the help of a $50,000 federal grant, administered by the Maine Coastal Program of the State Planning Office. The Maine Department of Transportation and the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership also are partners in the project.

Storm-water planning is critical for the Route 1 commercial area, between Route 88 and the Maine Turnpike spur, according to the town's grant application.

Waterways in the area drain into Mill Creek and then empty into Mussel Cove, which is closed to shellfishing because of pollution. In addition, the storm-water

planning comes as the town is grappling with other decisions about development of the Route 1 corridor.

In 2011, the Town Council commis-sioned a plan to coordinate infrastructure improvements in the road's right-of-way.

The ultimate goal of this plan is to create environmentally sustainable improvements, according to the grant application.

The application called better manage-ment of storm-water runoff "imperative" to this effort.

The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emer-gency Response, or SAFER, funding also went to Ellsworth.

Plummer said most of the grant is geared toward trying to attract 10 new people. Much of the funding will go toward train-ing. Other line items include uniforms and gear, physicals and incentives, such as length of service awards, he said.

The department currently has about 25 active volunteers, Plummer said.

Falmouth arrest nets drugs, guns, cash

FALMOUTH — Christopher Michaels, 24, of Hillside Avenue, was arrested late Wednesday night, July 11, on a variety of drug and domestic violence charges.

Police said they were called to Michaels’ home to investigate a domestic incident, but during the investiga-tion saw him allegedly remove 2.4 grams of cocaine from a safe and conceal the drug in his pocket.

Police arrested Mi-chaels and then ex-ecuted a search warrant, which turned up additional amounts of cocaine and marijuana, as well as scales and packaging material. Police also found two handguns and approximately $8,500 in cash.

Michaels is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 16.

Martin’s Point Bridge will remain open during replacementBy William Hall

PORTLAND — The state has re-leased the design of a replacement for the aging Martin’s Point Bridge, which connects East Deering with U.S. Route 1 in Falmouth.

The design of the $23 million re-placement bridge was unveiled at a Maine Department of Transportation public meeting at Portland City Hall on July 10.

The replacement bridge will be built next to the current one, which will remain open during construction. The design calls for two traffic lanes, a pedestrian lane on the bridge’s west-ern side, a multi-use pathway on the eastern side, and two “bumpouts” that will provide space for fishing.

While the new structure will closely follow the current bridge’s footprint, it will be 112 feet shorter than the cur-rent span of nearly 1,400 feet, because fill material will be added around the bridge approaches, MDOT said. No public or private property will be taken for the bridge.

Five contractors competed to design and build the replacement bridge, which was awarded to the team of CPM Constructors of Freeport and en-gineering firm Vanasse Hangen Brust-lin of Watertown, Mass. Their bid came in $7 million below estimated costs.

Construction could begin as early as September, and is expected to be completed in December 2014, accord-ing to MDOT project manager Leanne Timberlake.

The current bridge, more than 70 years old, carries 15,000 vehicles a day across the Presumpscot River. The bridge was renovated in 1991, but MDOT determined in 2010 that a replacement was necessary because of the bridge’s deteriorating condition.

“This bridge really needs to be re-placed,” said Bonny Rodden, a nearby resident and Falmouth town councilor.

William Hall / THe ForecasTerLooking south from Falmouth on the Martin’s Point Bridge, which connects with Portland’s East

Deering neighborhood. The bridge is scheduled to be replaced in 2014.

couTesy mDoTAn artist’s rendering of the planned replacement for the Martin’s Point

Bridge between Portland, at the bottom, and Falmouth.

“With the new design, we’ll have a bridge that is much improved, and is suited for more uses.”

The design creates more space for walking, biking, and fishing on the bridge deck, and more vertical and horizontal clearance for boats passing below.

In addition, the design carves out a small recreational space on the Falmouth side of the bridge. Rodden called the space a “lookout” because it offers a panoramic view of the river.

“The Presumpscot has always been a vital part of our town, and this is a beautiful spot to see it,” she said.

MDOT is considering suggestions for landscaping the space, as well as for lighting, railings, and other finish-ing touches to the bridge. As part of this process, the department will hold another public meeting on Aug. 7.

“The design was well-received (at last week’s meeting),” Timberlake said. “But obviously, there were some

concerns, especially on the part of Falmouth, about issues such as truck traffic and parking in the area. We want to be very careful of the impact this project has.”

Rodden said the construction will only be a temporary inconvenience.

“In the end,” she said, “we’ll have a bridge that is better and safer for everyone.”

Yarmouth vote paves way for Condon pathBy Will Graff

YARMOUTH — The final section of the Beth Condon Pathway received the official OK from the Town Council on Monday night after months of delibera-tion.

The council also postponed until next month a decision on the $1.5 million turf field at Yarmouth High School.

The majority of the $500,000 pathway

Town Council postpones turf field decisionproject will be paid for through a grant from the Maine Department of Trans-portation, which obligates the town to pay 20 percent.

The council initially approved the proj-ect in October 2011, and it subsequently went through a couple design changes before Monday’s action.

The pathway extension, which will likely not break ground until 2014, will

reduce southbound U.S. Route 1 to one lane beneath the East Main Street over-pass to make room for the 1.6-mile path. The path will connect Hannaford Bros. plaza to East Main Street.

The path will have 8 feet of surface for pedestrians and 5 feet of esplanade space, all raised about 6 inches above the current roadway. A dedicated bicycle lane

between Route 1 and the esplanade will also be installed.

Turf fieldThe council’s decision to postpone a

vote to put the turf field project on the November ballot came after a presentation from the athletic field committee, which led to more questions about financing.

Patrick Maguire, consultant for Acti-vitas, the consulting firm hired to plan the field with the committee, described a field in dire need of repair.

The current state of the field is a safety hazard and leaves athletes exposed to potential injuries, he said.

The proposed plan calls for complete carpet removal, a new drainage system, new turf and improvements to the support underneath the turf.

It also will put the infrastructure in place to eventually have netting installed around the field to allow sports like la-crosse and some track and field practices to use the field simultaneously.

The field will have a lifespan of about 10 years, according to the proposal.

The committee’s proposal did not include amenities such as a snack bar, locker rooms, logos at mid-field and both end zones, a public address system, and lighting, because those would put the cost over budget.

The town is still paying on the original 12-year-old turf field and councilors ex-pressed concern about the longevity of the new field, potentially leaving them in the position to be paying for three fields at once.

Those concerns led to the decision to postpone any action on the field until their next meeting, Aug. 2.

In another vote, the council approved a $100 increase for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, LIHEAP, raising it to $400 a year. The program helps low-income families pay for fuel to heat their homes.

New Asian in Portland, and Frosty’s ventures to FreeportBy Amy Anderson

There are a handful of new restaurants, bars and markets opening (or reopening) this summer, just in time to entice tourists and locals alike.

At 865 Forest Ave. in Portland, Venue has reopened as The New Venue with new management and a different menu. The res-taurant/club offers lunch and dinner, wood-fired brick-oven specialties, karaoke, DJ’s and live bands, and daily happy-hour specials.

Veranda Asian Market opened recently at 695 Forest Ave., Portland, in what used to be Au-buchon Hardware. The market also offers take-out food from the Veranda Noodle Bar and Veranda Thai restaurants.

The owner of Benkay on India Street in Portland plans to open another restaurant at 653 Congress St. called Kushiya Ben-kay. The menu will include traditional sushi and Yakitori options. The restaurant is expected to open this month.

A Chinese restaurant called Zen Bis-tro will occupy the space most recently known as District at 45 Danforth St. in Portland. The owners plan to open later this month.

Melissa Bouchard, executive chef of DiMillo’s on the Water in Portland, will compete in the Great American Seafood Cook Off in New Orleans on Aug. 11.

The culinary competition emphasizes the importance of cooking with domestic and sustainable seafood. Bouchard will com-pete against more than a dozen seafood

chefs from across the country, who are en-couraged to showcase sustainable fish and shellfish native to their home states.

Timothy Pierre La-bonte is the new execu-tive chef at the Portland Harbor Hotel restaurant Eve’s at the Garden. Labonte has created a new lunch, dinner and

bar bites menu for Eve’s.Thanks to chef-owner Jay Villani of

Sonny’s restaurant, 83 Exchange St., there is free public WiFi in Portland’s Post Office Park. The new WiFi network is called “Free Public WiFi,” and no pass-word is needed.

After court’s rebuke, PUC slates hearing on meter health questionsBy David Harry

PORTLAND — The Maine Public Utilities Commission will take a fresh look next week at a portion of a consumer complaint about wireless electric meters installed by Central Maine Power Co.

PUC Chairman Thomas Welch and Commissioners David Littell and Mark Vannoy will re-examine the possible health hazards associated with radio fre-quency waves used to transmit consumer

data and determine monthly billing for more than 600,000 CMP accounts.

The commission was ordered last Thursday by the Maine Supreme Ju-dicial Court to reopen the portion of a complaint the commissioners dismissed without comment last summer.

The complaint, filed by Bowdoinham resident Ed Friedman and 18 other utility customers, sought to eliminate fees charged by the utility to customers who opt out of

the so-called “smart meter” program.Friedman said he wants the meters re-

moved entirely, but was pleased the court found at least partially in his favor.

“The commission should take a fresh look at the safety issue,” Friedman said. He said he is prepared to bring data and reports from the World Health Organiza-tion and American Academy of Environ-mental Medicine to bolster his argument that radio frequency waves emitted at short intervals in all directions are not safe and possibly cause cancer while also harming household appliances.

CMP spokesman Jon Carroll said me-ter installations are nearly complete, with about 2,000 meters left to install. The company began installing meters in late summer 2010, using economic stimulus funding from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.

Shortly after the installations began, consumers including Friedman and Scarborough residents Elisa Boxer-Cook and Suzanne Foley-Ferguson raised ques-tions about the health and security risks

posed by meters transmitting customer information via a wireless grid.

Moratoriums on installations were passed by town councils in Bath, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough as separate complaints were filed with the commis-sion. The complaints were eventually combined for the commission to hear.

Carroll said about 8,000 customers have opted out of the program. The utility initially balked at allowing customers to choose not to have the meters installed, but was ordered by the PUC in January 2011 to create an opt-out plan.

Customers who want to keep their old meters must pay an initial $40 fee and $12 monthly. Customers who want the wireless transmission capability of a new meter disabled must pay an initial $20 fee and $10.50 monthly.

In the opinion written by Justice Jon Levy, the state’s highest court agreed the PUC ignored its legal responsibility to ensure CMP was safely and reasonably delivering power by taking no stance on the safety of the new meters.

Vacationland isn’t for sissiesWho knew that living at the beach could be so tortur-

ous?Me: Who wants to go for a walk on the beach?My children: Ohhh Mom, do we have to?Or, the equally charming response: Not me!It’s July. I drive down the street to the

beach – it’s so close to my home that the engine of my car barely warms up by the time I’ve arrived. How lucky am I?

When I first began plotting my move away from the Boston suburbs, I clearly remember my goal being to live within a 20-minute drive of the ocean. That was my greatest hope. Nirvana. I imagined how wonderful it would be to pile my kids into the car, throw in a canvas tote bag brim-ming with sunscreen and snacks and chilly beverages, toss in a good-sized stack of oversized, colorful towels, and in one third of an hour, have our toes in the Atlantic.

Who knew I’d be so fortunate as to end up with an ocean view (at least from my driveway.) I recall the first summer I lived here I was in awe of the fact that I did, as my license plate clearly stated, reside in “Vacationland.”

And now, as we’re on the verge of celebrating the sev-enth anniversary of our move to Maine, I’m still slightly shocked when I overhear someone on a cell phone, stand-ing in the parking lot at my beach, looking longingly out

No SugarAdded

at the ocean, and saying something to a distant loved one along these lines: ”Hi, we just got here. Traffic wasn’t too bad. It’s so beautiful! We’ll be home next Saturday.”

The first time I overheard a conversation like that, I froze in my tracks, and felt a sense of great fortune,

realizing that while I was merely on my daily beach stop, these people only got to experience this for maybe seven days out of 365.

I wanted to shout, “Hey! I live here! Can you believe I get to do this every day?!”

Because, yes, during these gorgeous summer months, I truly still cannot believe I get to do this every day.

Of course, I wouldn’t ever shout some-thing like that to a visitor, because that would just be cruel, not to mention ill mannered. But there’s something inside of me that feels so fortunate, I often need to tape my mouth in order to contain my emotion.

Last night, I was walking on the beach at sunset with two of my teenage offspring. (Yes, they do sometimes succumb, although prying the male child from the comfort of his hi-speed fan was no easy task.)

Heaven? No. Just an ordinary evening in Vacationland.A couple of summers ago, we arrived home one eve-

ning to find an envelope wedged in our kitchen door, containing a note from a man visiting from the other side

of the country. His aunt apparently used to own our home, and he had treasured memories of summers spent visiting her while he was growing up. The envelope contained what was apparently our old cellar door key, along with a handful of photos documenting our house from various incarnations in the early and mid 1900s.

It was one of the sweetest and most meaningful gifts anyone had ever given us – partly because it was so un-expected, and spoke so quietly of such sentiment and love for this special place.

As my kids and I gaze into the photos, we talk wistfully about what it must have been like back then, when the trees that now block most of our ocean views were small or nonexistent, when farmers owned most of the land, and when you could sit on the porch and see only water for miles and miles.

And as I entertain romantic visions of the loving mothers who came before me, strolling to the beach with picnic hampers and checkered blankets and happy bathing-suited children wanting to frolic at the seashore, I’m quite certain my own prodigies are imagining all of the generations of poor, helpless children that came be-fore them, being dragged against their will to the beach by annoyingly enthusiastic mothers.

Ahhhh, “Vacationland.”No Sugar Added is Cape Elizabeth resident Sandi Amo-

rello’s biweekly take on life, love, death, dating and single parenting. Get more of Sandi at irreverentwidow.com or contact her at [email protected].

In search of reckless Falmouth driver

While my visiting family and I were having some much-needed family reunion time on Cliff Island recent-ly, someone decided to drive recklessly and dangerously through the intersection of Bucknam Road and Middle Road and right through my new fence. It happened just after midnight on July 8. Whoever was driving failed to leave a note ac-cepting responsibility for their actions and left the mess for me to clean up and the expense for me to pay. I have been working hard to make my little corner of Falmouth a visually nice place, not only for myself, but also for my neighbors and the many, many drivers who use the intersection.

I realize that this is a busy and very dangerous inter-

section. There are no crosswalks or sidewalks. I worry every time I walk my dog or ride my bike that a driver may not be paying attention. I did not realize that I would have to also worry about the safety of my fence.

This is a huge expense for me. I have filed a report and we do know more each day about what make and

color the vehicle was and where it was purchased. We also have some vehicle numbers to search. I hope with that information, we will be able to track down the driver. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give regarding a black Subaru that

may have been driving through that part of Falmouth on July 7-8 and that has damage to the front and un-dercarriage.

King is one-of-a-kind politicianI began volunteering for the Angus King campaign

as a resume builder. Like many Mainers, I was so dis-enchanted with politicians that I harbored few hopes that Angus was any better. Sure, I knew he was a great governor and I had heard his pledges to run a positive campaign, but I assumed that this was just political posturing. Yet, on my first day, Angus gathered all the interns and told us solemnly that he expected respectful speech about his opponents, even in private. As he put it, respectful dialogue is not a part-time job.

It was then that it struck me: there is only one Angus King. The Angus in front of the cameras holds and as-serts the same values as the Angus in private. I have seen firsthand that Angus King is perhaps one of the last genuine politicians and for that reason he has my vote.

Whose side are you on?The only decision anyone really has to make be-

tween now and the presidential election in November is “Whose side am I on?”

The sides and the stakes in the upcoming election could not be more stark or more serious. If you side with the privileged few, you vote for Mitt Romney. If you side with the poor and middle-class many, you vote for Barack Obama.

Romney would make an excellent president of Corporate America, a plutocracy in which the rich get richer and the rest get used. Barack Obama has been an excellent president of the United States of Amer-ica, scaling back two pointless wars, rescuing the country from the economic ruins of the Bush adminis-tration, enacting immigration reform, ending discrimi-nation against gays in the military, and passing sweeping health-care reforms that benefit all Americans.

So whose side are you on, the corpo-rate few or the mortal many?

Of course, Romney and the Re-publicans and their billionaire sugar daddies (unleashed on democracy by the Supreme Court’s Frankenstein decision in Citizens United that cor-porate monsters have more rights than human beings because they have more moolah) will be spending billions to persuade you that this election some-how has something to do with freedom and individual liberty. Malarkey.

We will surely, for example, hear more Obamacare horror stories like that told by our pathetic excuse for a governor, who sees jack-booted IRS thugs rounding up and executing anyone who doesn’t have health insurance. Sane folks will realize that the individual mandate is a good idea, a practical idea, a constitutional idea, and originally a Republican idea. As with most things, the shape-shifting Willard Mitt Romney was for it before he was against it.

And as to Gov. LePage’s crazy idea that the govern-ment has never forced Americans to do anything they didn’t want to do before the individual health insur-ance mandate, ever heard of the income tax, Boss Paul, or the draft? Oh that’s right, you were in Canada during the draft era.

If conservatives, fond of raising the Bogey Man of Obamacare death panels and health-care rationing, were intellectually honest they would admit what

Beem wrong about lowering the drinking age

Ed Beem is so far off base in his recent column, where he advocates lowering the drinking age to 18. Once again, probably due to guilt, he defends his ac-tions to play guardian at a drinking party where his daughter was present. Has he never read of the effects of alcohol on the u n d e v e l o p e d brain of a young person? Has he not read articles concerning teen drinking and driving fatalities? As much as he may think to the contrary, 18-year-olds are still very immature and thus very unpredictable.

Invitation to Yarmouth dedication

On Saturday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m., during Clam Festival, all friends and admirers of our daughter, Becky Schaffer, who died last year at the age of 23, are invited to a candle-lit dedication of the granite bench inscribed to her and her passionate love of ice hockey. The bench is at the far end of the pond behind Key Bank in Yarmouth, where pond hockey has traditionally been played.

For Becky, pond hockey epitomized what was so won-derful about the game. As she wrote in a poem about her passion for the sport, “... on a clear winter’s day, pond hockey draws paunchy forty-somethings and timid children to play with town heroes, the varsity boys with their effort-less skill and generous good cheer ... .” Becky’s determina-tion and persistence earned her a place with those varsity boys on the Yarmouth school team, as well as in pick-up games, showing that girls could play as competitively as the town heroes.

We hope that this bench will allow parents and others to watch their own children learn to enjoy hockey and the pleasures of sharing it with people of all ages and skill levels. We also wish to thank friends who contributed to the bench fund: Marcia Noyes of Community Services, who arranged to have the bench placed on public land, and the Town Parks & Recreation Department, particularly Zac Wi-est, who with his crew laboriously and beautifully installed the bench in time for Becky’s birthday.

Janice Cooper and Bill Schaffer,Yarmouth

they really believe – that anyone without health insurance or the ability to pay should simply not get health care. Whose side are you on, the living or the undead?

We will also surely hear the frightening fantasy that this election is about Big Government versus small government. In your GOP dreams; Republicans presided over the greatest expansion of the federal government in history under President George W. Bush. It’s just that Republicans expand the military, defense contracts, intelligence gathering, homeland security and the penal system and Democrats expand

health, education and welfare. Whose side are you on, the fearful or the free?

Romney zombies will also try to scare you with nightmare visions of t-t-t-taxes. The reality is that the wealthy in this country do not pay their fair share. They know that and they want to hire Willard Mitt to preserve their privileges and exemptions. Any true patriot, however, understands that we purchase our freedom and our domestic tranquility with our taxes. We were all, rich and poor alike, better off when the wealthiest among us paid 50 percent to 90 percent taxes. We’re now just asking them to pay 39 percent instead of 35 percent. It is their patriotic duty to do

so. Come on, you fortunate few, whose side are you on?

The fact that most polls show Obama and Romney running neck-and-neck toward Nov. 6 is what’s really scary. This race shouldn’t even be close. What it sug-gests is that a great many working-class Americans are blinded to their own best interests by one of the three conservative ghosts – racism, ignorance and propaganda. Come on, America, wake up. Don’t be prejudiced, stupid or fooled. Mitt Romney will only represent the interests of the wealthy few. Barack Obama already represents the interests of the rest of us.

Northern edition Spring Coaches of the YearBy Michael Hoffer

Coach of the YearBoys’ teamKEVIN WINSHIPFalmouth Baseball

Prior to this season, the Falmouth baseball team had been consistently competitive, but hadn’t been able to take the next step and compete for and win a championship.

That wasn’t supposed to hap-pen this spring either, but the Yachtsmen got off to a sizzling start and behind a team-wide effort, found themselves at the top of the heap.

P u s h i n g all the right buttons was coach Kevin Winship, who utilized the entire roster and got his charges to believe they have no peer, a performance that gets him the nod as our northern edition Spring Coach of the Year, of a boys’ team.

Winship is a Portland High graduate. He played golf, hock-ey and baseball in high school. He came to baseball naturally. His father, Gary, once tried out at Western Kentucky. After at-tending the University of Maine, Winship began teaching physical education at Memorial Middle School in South Portland and got into coaching. He took the Portland High junior varsity baseball job in 2000 and took a similar position in South Portland six years later before serving as the Red Riots’ varsity assistant in 2007 and 2008.

Winship credits a couple of his mentors, longtime coaches Tony DiBiase and Mike Ruther-ford, for setting him on the road to his success.

“I owe a lot to those two guys,” Winship said. “I saw two different varsity coaching styles.”

Winship took over the Yachtsmen in 2009. Last year, Falmouth was on the brink of upsetting eventual regional champion Greely in the semifi-nals before a bad inning sent the Yachtsmen home. An abundance of talent returned, but Falmouth wasn’t considered champion-ship-worthy by the pundits in the preseason.

In response, the Yachtsmen won their first 11 games and wound up 13-3, good for the second seed in the region. While top-ranked Greely was

sent packing in the quarterfi-nals, Falmouth handled Spruce Mountain and Morse to reach the Western B Final for the first time. There, the Yachtsmen were no-hit by Cape Elizabeth, but still found a way to score a run in the eighth inning to advance to the state game where they blanked Foxcroft, 2-0, to win Class B for the first time. It was Falmouth’s first championship in any class since winning Class C 1998.

“The kids believed they were good,” Winship said. “It was a fun ride.”

Winship was able to turn Thomas Fortier into the staff ace, while getting the most out of his other talented arms and crafted a lineup that saw everyone deliver key hits, most notably the No. 9 hitter, Ryan Conley, who had a couple huge postseason knocks.

Winship is an avid golfer. He lives in Portland with his wife, Liz, and sons, Colby (9) and Nicholas (6). He looks forward to making a run at a repeat next season.

Kevin Winship, our northern edition boys’ team Coach of the Year, can bask in the glow of this title. It was a long time in coming and thrilled the town of Falmouth.2011 winner; Bob McCully

Coach of the YearGirls’ teamKARIN KURRYFreeport lacrosse

After a regular season of quietly holding its own, the Freeport girls’ lacrosse team stole headlines in the postsea-son, knocking off traditional power and reigning state cham-pion Yarmouth to make it to the state final for the first time.

The Falcons got better as the season progressed, got contri-

butions from a lot of different sources and threw caution to the wind in the playoffs, mak-ing it all the way to the season’s final day.

Much of the credit has to go to coach Karin Kurry. After what she accomplished, she gets our nod as our northern edition Spring 2012 Coach of the Year, of a girls’ team.

Kurry grew up in Princeton, N.J. She played field hockey and lacrosse and ran track in high school. She did the same at Col-by College, where she met her hus-band, Jorma, who coach-es track at F a l m o u t h High.

Kurry coached track for sev-eral years before starting the Deering girls’ lacrosse program. Despite not having experience, Kurry coached the Rams to several successful seasons in her six years. She took over the Freeport program in 2009. After making the playoffs that first year, the Falcons fell short the past two seasons.

Things turned around in a big way this spring.

Freeport earned confidence with early wins over traditional

contenders North Yarmouth Academy and Greely (a stun-ning 12-11 triumph after trail-ing, 11-4). The Falcons finished 6-6 against a challenging sched-ule and with NYA and Yarmouth not at their usual top level, took advantage and wound up the top seed in Eastern B.

Freeport handled Gardiner in the semifinals, 16-4, and earned a date with the Clippers in the regional final. It proved to be one for the ages as once again the Falcons managed to pull off a dramatic rally. Down 9-5 in the second half, Freeport roared back, forced overtime and won, 12-11. The Falcons weren’t able to cap the Cinderella run with a championship, losing to Waynflete in the Class B state game.

“We went way beyond ex-pectations,” said Kurry, who believes her greatest strengths as a coach are her connection with the girls and her focus on them as whole people, not just ath-letes. “Our goal was to make the playoffs. I felt like we should have gone last year. The Greely win gave the girls confidence. The Yarmouth win was amazing. We wanted to enjoy the experi-ence at states.”

Freeport senior Alexandra Mitch calls Kurry a great mo-tivator.

Winship Kurry

“She really pushed us,” Mitch said. “She helped us visualize what it would mean to get to states. She wanted it as badly as we did.”

Kurry teaches science at Freeport High School. She also serves as an assistant on the Fal-cons field hockey team.

Kurry, who lives in Falmouth, is an avid runner. She’s the mother of a son, Iain.

Change of Sox hasn’t helped...yetBy Bryan O’Connor

The Red Sox went into the All-Star break at 43-43 and that felt about right. Their offense scored the second most runs in baseball in the first half, but was prone to team-wide slumps. The starting pitching was mostly dismal, but saw a few shining moments from Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and even Aaron Cook. The bullpen looked like a disas-ter in April, but by July, it had the third-best earned run average in the American League.

One trend that has defined the 2012 season is that almost every change has been for the worse. September’s collapse aside, the 2011 Red Sox played like the team with the best ros-ter in baseball, which they may very well have been. Something had to change after the team fell apart and while the core of the team is back in 2012, some personnel did turn over.

General Manager Theo Ep-stein bolted for Chicago in the

offseason and former assistant Ben Cherington took over. Cherington’s first few moves in-cluded trading rightfielder Josh Reddick, who has emerged as one of the best outfielders in the American League, for reliever Andrew Bailey, who has yet to throw a pitch for the Red Sox due to injury. Jed Lowrie, who has been the best shortstop in the National League this year, at least offensively, went to the Astros for Mark Melancon, who did his best work for the Red Sox when he was exiled to Paw-tucket. Clayton Mortenson, the reliever obtained from Colorado in the Marco Scutaro trade, has been serviceable, but has only thrown 20 big league innings so far. That’s seven Wins Above Replacement (per fangraphs) shipped off for three relievers who have thrown a combined 36 innings for Boston (and ac-cumulated 0 WAR, in case you were wondering). Ouch.

What about last year’s Red

Sox bullpen? Jonathan Papelbon left for Philadelphia, where he’s struggled, but he is striking out more batters per nine innings than any current Boston reliever. You may remember Daniel Bard, the closer-in-waiting, who was moved to the rotation only to walk more batters than he struck out, including six in 1.2 innings in the June 3 start that bought him a trip to Pawtucket.

Cherington’s other high-profile move has been the worst of all. Terry Francona, probably the best manager in Red Sox history, left on ugly terms and was replaced by the inimitable Bobby Valentine, who has likely cost the Red Sox several games in 2012. It’s hard to put a number on a manager’s effect on a baseball team, so I won’t make too much of the team’s .500 record despite having outscored opponents by 43 runs in the first half. I will point out though that

Valentine loves to hang a pitcher out to dry (see Bard’s bases-loaded walk, his seventh of the day, long after he should have been pulled against the Rays on Patriots Day, or Josh Beckett’s 126 pitches in a loss against the White Sox immediately before he missed the start that kicked off the golf controversy).

Red Soxfrom page 15

I’ll also point out Valentine’s willing-ness to use strategies that have been proven fruitless again and again, like the intentional walk (see the one issued to Hideki Matsui on July 14 right before Matt Albers walked in the tying run) and the sacrifice bunt (like the one hot-hitting Pedro Ciriaco botched with no outs and a runner on second an inning later, killing what looked like a game-tying rally). Val-entine’s favorite bunter, Nick Punto, was also used repeatedly as a pinch hitter and allowed to bat for himself with the game on the line despite his sub-.200 batting average and the presence of better hitters on the bench (including a few pitchers, 70-year-old coaches, and the batboy).

As if his in-game decisions and his Dusty Baker-esque propensity toward

hitting low-OBP guys in the leadoff spot are not enough to sink the Sox' ship, Valentine’s done further damage off the field. His criticism of Kevin Youkilis’ work ethic in a TV interview led to a situation in which the Red Sox had to trade Youkilis for pennies on the dollar. That move should work out in the long term for Boston, with Will Middlebrooks apparently ready to take the third base reins, but like all the rest of the changes surrounding the Red Sox, it hasn’t played out well so far. Youkilis is batting .316 with the White Sox, and has driven in the game-winning run five times in his first 15 games in Chicago. Middlebrooks, meanwhile, has just five hits since Youki-lis left and has struggled defensively at the hot corner.

It seems the only changes that have

worked for the Red Sox are the ones made out of necessity. When the team had outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, Cody Ross, Ryan Sweeney, Jason Repko, and Darnell McDonald on the disabled list at the same time in May, they had to call up Daniel Nava, who’s carried a .379 on-base percentage and played great defense in left, leaving fans to wonder whether Carl Crawford will even be an improvement.

Similarly, reliever Franklin Morales was pressed into starting duty when Beckett and Buchholz hit the DL together in June and Morales struck out 24 in his first three starts, giving up just four total earned runs. Even Aaron Cook, who has struck out just two hitters all year, threw a complete-game, two-hitter against the Mariners in a June 29 spot start. Neces-sity, for the Red Sox, is the mother of adequacy.

With the Red Sox still fighting for a Wild Card spot, but struggling to push their record more than a few games above .500, some fans and writers are calling for more change. Starting pitchers like Zack Greinke, Cole Hamels and Ryan Dempster may be available at the trade deadline and would certainly represent upgrades over the current rotation. The bullpen, as strong as it’s been, could always use a boost. Should they make a change now?

Here’s a vote for the status quo. Ells-bury is back in the fold and should put a charge into the offense. Crawford doesn’t inspire maximum confidence, with mul-tiple body parts in various states of repair, but Nava is a good fourth outfielder and a guy the team can count on if Crawford winds up back on the shelf.

Adrian Gonzalez is starting to hit again, though it remains to be seen if he’ll ever figure out how to hit a ball out of Fenway Park. Dustin Pedroia is the heart of this team- perhaps its best hitter, almost certainly its best fielder and al-legedly a leader in the clubhouse.

Atchison, Vicente Padilla, and Melancon could be very effective down the stretch.

That leaves the rotation, naturally, as the target of an upgrade, and it certainly would be nice to see Greinke or Hamels in a Red Sox uniform, but are we sure such a move is necessary? Neither Jon Lester nor Josh Beckett has pitched as well as expected, but both are keeping the walks down and pitching better than their ERAs indicate. The only option is to keep throw-ing those guys out every fifth day and hoping for shades of past glory. Buchholz, once the worst pitcher in baseball, hasn’t had a disastrous outing in almost two months, and his strikeout and walk rates are both trending in the right direction. Felix Doubront has been serviceable and represents the future, so there’s no sense in moving him from the rotation.

That leaves the fifth spot, currently oc-cupied by Daisuke Matsuzaka, as the only variable. While Matsuzaka’s newspaper stats (0-3, 6.65 ERA) look ugly, he’s striking out more batters than he has since 2009 and walking fewer than ever. If he can keep the ball in the park, he can be the fifth starter on a contending staff. If he can’t, Morales can step in as a starter and Andrew Miller or Rich Hill can get lefties out in the bullpen.

It would be naive to assume that the Red Sox play the second half in perfect health after the perfect storm of injuries that derailed their first half. That said, their

Red Soxfrom page 17

roster is built to contend for a champion-ship, and there is a better plan B in place than there was last year, when the team had no answer for Buchholz’s absence late in the year.

Trading for a starter could add a win or two, but this team is probably a favorite to win one of the two Wild Cards if the stars stay healthy and a train wreck if they don’t. Depleting the farm system to pick up another high-priced pitcher who may not survive in the brutal AL East might make little difference in the short term and slow progress in the long term.

Change has been a dirty word for the 2012 Red Sox. Let’s keep things the same and see if a few healthy players can lead the way to October baseball.

ScaredScared



Out & About

By Scott AndrewsNo fewer than four singers from New

York’s famed Metropolitan Opera will be appearing next week in PORTopera’s 2012 mainstage production of “Madama Butter-fly,” Giacomo Puccini’s heartbreaking tale of love and abandonment. PORTopera’s artistic director Dona D. Vaughn directs the stage action, while Stephen Lord returns to conduct the orchestra.

You might think it’s the good old days at the Grand Ole Opry at White’s Beach in Brunswick this weekend. The annual White’s Beach Bluegrass Festival, which showcases mostly Maine singers and en-sembles in an alfresco setting, runs July 20-22.

‘Madama Butterfly’A heartbreaking tale of love and aban-

donment: That’s the quick take on “Ma-dama Butterfly,” Giacomo Puccini’s celebrated opera. With its gripping libretto and gorgeous melodies, “Madama But-terfly” has fascinated audiences for more than a century.

PORTopera, Maine’s only resident com-pany producing fully staged operas with nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, presents “Madama Butterfly” at Merrill Auditorium July 25 and 27. The opera will be sung in its original Italian, with English supertitles projected above the stage.

“Madama Butterfly” debuted in Italy in 1904. The story is wholly fictional, but it reflects contemporaneous events and interests at the turn of the 20th century. At that time the United States was emerging as a world power, particularly via the U.S. Navy’s growing presence in the Pacific Ocean. Europe was fascinated by Japanese art and culture about that time.

“Madama Butterfly” takes place in early 20th century Japan and represents a clash of American and Japanese values. The trag-edy is set up when indulgent, carefree U.S. Navy Lt. Pinkerton casually marries a naive geisha, Cio-Cio San, although he fully intends to marry a “real” American wife once he returns to the U.S. The American consul, Sharpless, warns that his young Japanese bride may not take her vows so lightly, but Pinkerton ignores him.

Pinkerton and Cio-Cio San savor their love – until he leaves for the U.S. and des-erts her for three years. Despite pleas from Sharpless and her maid Suzuki, Cio-Cio San remains tirelessly and desperately de-voted to her absent husband, believing that he will return some day. When Pinkerton does return he’s got his “real” American wife in tow, and tragedy follows.

For PORTopera’s production, stage di-rector Dona D. Vaughn (she’s also the or-ganization’s longtime artistic director) has picked four singers with major experience in the New York’s Metropolitan Opera, this country’s flagship company.

The coveted title role will be sung by Inna Los, praised for her round soprano voice with luscious, silvery upper register. Los reprises the role of Cio-Cio San after two critically acclaimed performances with Finland’s Savonlinna Opera Festival and Opera New Jersey.

Originally from Moldova , Los began singing professionally in 2004 with the Vi-enna State Opera. After numerous appear-ances with various European companies, she made her American debut with Opera New Jersey in 2011. Los joined the Met

Jeff ReedeRInna Los sings the starring role of Cio-Cio San in Opera New Jersey’s recent production of

Giacomo Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly.” Los will be reprising her role in PORTopera’s upcoming production of the heartbreaking tale of love and abandonment, with performances July 25 and 27

at Merrill Auditorium in Portland.

for its 2011 productions of “Faust,” “La Boheme” and “Otello.”

As Pinkerton, Adam Diegel boasts a tenor voice characterized by powerful top notes and a reputation for dramatic performances. Plus his handsome visage and dashing appearance promise to exas-perate audiences: How can such a callous cad look so good? A native of Tennessee, Diegel is an up-and-coming singer with the Met, engaged for this past season in “Das Rheingold,” “Nabucco” and “Madama Butterfly.”

Mezzo soprano Heather Johnson also comes to PORTopera following an illustri-ous season with the Met. The native Min-nesotan made her Met debut in the Summer Recital Series. Following her dramatic por-trayal of Cio-Cio San’s maid Suzuki, John-son will return to New York for the Met’s production of “The Enchanted Island.” Johnson has performed with PORTopera in the past, as Hansel in the 2010 production of “Hansel and Gretel.” Johnson was also one of PORTopera’s Young Artists while a student at the University of Southern Maine. Plus, she has sung several times with the Midcoast Symphony Orchestra.

As consul Sharpless, Vaughn selected Edward Parks, a young charmer with a hauntingly emotive baritone voice. Parks graduated from the Met’s Lindemann Young Artists Development Program (directed by Vaughn) before making his debut in its 2009-2010 season. He has since appeared in several performances with the

Met, including Puccini’s “La Fancuilla del West.”

I’m a huge fan of PORTopera, and I particularly admire Vaughn’s emphasis on believable staging and credible characters, featuring artists who are equally comfort-able as singers and actors. In the musical department, conductor Stephen Lord has been widely acclaimed for his operatic work and has worked in the pit for several

prior PORTopera productions.All of the musicians are professionals,

including many members of the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

PORTopera presents “Madama Butter-fly” at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall for two 7:30 p.m. performances, July 25 and 27. Call PortTix at 842-0800.White’s Beach Bluegrass FestivalOld-time country music performed by

your neighbors on the front porch: That’s the big idea behind one of Maine’s smallest bluegrass festivals, happening July 20-22 in Brunswick. White’s Beach Bluegrass Festival, now in its 15th season, features mostly Maine bands who perform on a stage built to resemble a front porch from days of yore.

The venue is White’s Beach campground on the Durham Road. The stage schedule runs Friday evening, all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday. Informal field picking is continuous throughout the three days.

Most of the bands are from Maine. These include Cliff Randall Band, Back to Ba-sics, Cribstone Bridge, Back Woods Road, Grasshoppers and Bobby & Ted.

If there’s any star of the weekend, it’s Ted DeMille, a versatile guitarist and singer from Bath who is also a superb songwriter. Some years ago DeMille emerged as the leading figure in North Star. When North Star disbanded, he continued with a part-nership with fiddling phenom Erica Brown. At White’s Beach, DeMille appears as the lead singer/emcee with Cribstone Bridge and as half of Bobby & Ted. The other half? Mandolinist Bobby St. Pierre hails from Harpswell; he has been a musical partner with DeMille in both North Star and Bits and Pieces.

I’m also quite fond of Back to Basics, a Midcoast band that boasts a number of very funny original songs. Cliff Randall Band, from Gardiner, specializes in old-time country music -- not just bluegrass. I’ve heard a number of their MP3s, and they’re very impressive.

As with all alfresco festivals, bring lawn chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. Call the campground at 729-0415.

NOW CLEANING COMPOSITE DECKS

Historic homefrom page 1


Did anyone go over from the Yarmouth Water District and take a look before ordering the demolition? If they did, they would have realized the house was very old.”

Murphy said the house was one of four original houses on Baston Road and ap-pears on an 1857 map, but that it is likely to be from the early part of the century.

“This demolition is an unbelievable lapse in judgment, a disregard for process and a disrespect for history of both North Yarmouth and Yarmouth,” she said. “... What was the rush?”

Murphy urged the Board of Selectmen to take action against the district for the demolition, saying that according to state law, penalties range from $200 to $5,000.

“I’ll take responsibility for this error,” Robert MacKinnon, superintendent of the Yarmouth Water District, said Tuesday. “I didn’t know that we needed a permit. If I could change things, I certainly would.”

He said the district hired a Yarmouth contractor, Scott Dugas, to raze the build-

ing, and expressed regret Monday for not contacting Skelton in advance.

The district purchased the property last month for resource protection, “and it was our intent to take (the building) down,” he said. “Had I known it was go-ing to be a problem, hindsight’s 20-20.”

MacKinnon said the house was in “very poor condition,” and that the prop-erty, important for aquifer protection, will now be kept as open space. It may be used for organic farming or haying, he said.

MacKinnon said he now understands the historical society’s concern.

Stephen Gorden, a Water District trust-ee from North Yarmouth, apologized for what he called a “horrendous error” made by the district, noting that “historically, it’s a tragedy of the first kind.”

Joan Mason of Milliken Road asked the Board of Selectmen to ensure such an incident does not happen again.

“If there’s a fine or a fee, then I think that’s fair,” she said. “I don’t think an apology is really enough.”

at Jean-Georges in New York, Hugo’s in Portland and the Miyake farm in Freeport, will be the executive chef. The casual, family-friendly restaurant is ex-

pected to open this fall. Brunswick’s iconic Frosty’s Donuts

is expanding to Freeport this summer. The second doughnut shop will be at 45 Main St.

Freeport also has a new wine shop and a coffee shop. The Wine Shack is next to Buck’s Naked BBQ at 554 Route 1; Mo-

ses Dyer Coffee is at 12 School St. The coffee shop is owned by Erika and Jeffrey Yingling of Isabella’s Sticky Buns.

Sweet Angel at 136 Pleasant St. in Brunswick offers authentic Thai veg-etarian, barbecue and seafood dishes. The restaurant is open Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and on weekends from

noon-9 p.m. India Taste, at 435 Cottage Road in

South Portland has closed, but Thai Taste has expanded into the former Mojo’s coffee space and will add a full bar and sushi bar.

and Catherine Connors argued during the May 10 court hearing that the PUC was allowed to dismiss Friedman’s complaint because it had already resolved questions about smart meter safety in earlier hear-ings that created the opt-out plans.

The court disagreed, saying “(the PUC)

may have considered, to a limited extent, the health and safety issues Friedman raised, but it did not resolve those issues.”

But the court ruled against the plaintiffs’ claims the PUC violated the Fourth, Fifth and 14th amendments of the U.S. Consti-tution and Article I of the Maine Constitu-tion by allowing CMP to install the meters against the wishes of its customers.

Friedman said he was disappointed the court ruled against the broader questions

of property rights, especially because Levy’s opinion said the PUC was not the venue to decide Constitutional questions.

“It was a small step forward in the right direction. I don’t think the court could have done anything less,” Friedman said, adding he is disappointed the court did not require a stay of opt-out fees charged by CMP.

When the commissioners consider the smart meter safety questions, Friedman said he hopes their decision will lead to

a total recall of the meters.“If there is conflicting evidence, how

can you possibly ensure safety?,” he said. “There is plenty of precedent in history for recalling unsafe products.”

The PUC hearing will be held Tuesday, July 24, at 10 a.m. at 101 Second St. in Hallowell.

Festivalfrom page 1

“I think it’s comical; it’s Yarmouth tradition,” Peter said.

Tammy Russell and Donna Reed, who work at Handy Andy’s on Main Street, said originally the elderly started putting the chairs out the night before because it was difficult for them to get down to the parade after the crowds come.

“Every year it gets earlier and earlier,” Reed said. “Now everybody does it. It’s crazy.”

For the most part, they find the tradi-tion and the festival a bit of a nuisance and hassle, because the chairs sometimes block the entrance to the store and the masses of people make it difficult to get around town.

“It’s inconvenient,” Russell said. “But it is good for business, we just have to take a few more precautions.”

Other residents see the chairs as a wel-come sign of summer.

“I see it as joyous kind of thing for Yarmouth, “ said Kathy Slack, voice in-structor at the 317 Main St. Community Music Center. “It’s the little piece of

summer that finally tells you it’s here, the Clam Festival.”

In addition to being an opportunity for residents to compete over chair spaces, the festival is also a crucial time of year for the town’s nonprofits.

“It’s the nonprofits’ big day,” said Mark Primeau, director of the festival at the chamber of commerce. “The mission of the festival is to support the nonprofits and to be a community-builder.”

The festival brings 100,000 people

to Yarmouth over the weekend and for many nonprofits it’s the only way they are able to meet their budget goals for the year, Primeau said.

This year, the festival brings 145 craft-ers, along with 40 artists, expanded from 27 last year, and a raffle to win a 2012 Ford Focus.

A portion of the raffle tickets helps to supplement the fee charged to nonprofits to have a booth at the festival, Primeau said.

Jules Mellor, administrator at the chamber of commerce, said she loves seeing the chairs out on the street.

YARMOUTH — Friends and family will hold a candlelight memorial Satur-day, July 21, to remember Becky Schaf-fer, who died last year at age 23, and to officially dedicate a granite bench inscribed dedicated to her passionate love of ice hockey.

The memorial will be an informal gathering to dedicate the bench by tell-ing stories and reading one of Becky’s poems, her father, Bill Schaffer said.

“We all share the loss, so we wanted to share the memorial,” he said. “Hock-ey was a big thing for Becky. We want-

ed something tangible for people that want to go there and think about her.”

Schaffer played on the girl’s hockey team at Yarmouth High School, as well as on the boy’s team, where she was the only female member of the team. She also played in pick-up games around town.

In addition to her passion for hockey, Schaffer was also a volunteer who worked at the Sanchat Restart Center, an orphanage in Gilgil, Kenya, for two months in 2010. She also had plans to join the Peace Corps and to pursue

graduate programs in African Studies.Schaffer died in a hiking accident on

Aug. 6, 2011, in Pohnpei, Micronesia, while attending a three-week training session for WorldTeach, a nonprofit that provides teaching assistance in foreign countries. After the training session, she was to begin a year-long teaching program for high school students on the island.

The memorial and dedication will be at 7:30 p.m. on the far end of the hockey pond behind Key Bank on Main Street.

from Portland, sample fried and steamed clams at last year’s Yarmouth Clam Festival.

“As far as the chamber goes, I know I’m doing my job if the chairs are out early,” she said.

And, for the most part, people leave the chairs alone. But technically, if you leave something out on the curb, it could be considered abandoned property, mean-ing people can do what they want with it, Perry said.

“I can’t say I haven’t seen some chairs switched around or stacked up on top of each other,” he said. “Putting your chair out (in advance) is really just providing fodder at this point.”

Comment on this story at:http://www.theforecaster.net/weblink/129813 Natural gas:

Pros and consBenefits and disadvantages of

natural gas, according to Alterna-tiveenergysource.org:

• Advantages: Low cost relative to other fuels, and produces less carbon dioxide than oil or coal, although it does still produce the compound. Production can also be increased to meet peak demand, and it can be reduced when the gas is not needed.

• Disadvantages: Natural gas is not sustainable, and reserves are limited. Prices will also fluctuate according to supply and demand.

access (the gas) on a large scale unless it was brought down to kind of a street pressure, which you could put into a more economical pipe in the street," Shane said, allowing homes and businesses to tap into the system.

Shane said the three communities probably could not fund extension of the line on their own. He said he and the Fal-mouth and Yarmouth town managers have been looking into a multi-town project for the past year.

The substation could cost about $1.5 million, and new gas main distribution piping into the towns could cost about $300,000 per mile to build, resulting in a total project cost of between $8 million and $10 million, Shane said.

He said it is hoped that "we can find a third party that will be making the investment in the infrastructure, and the cost will be paid for by the users, so that every one of the residential, commercial and industrial customers would be getting

a bill, and ... part of that payment would be part of the debt structure for building all this infrastructure."

Cumberland burns through more than 2,000 gallons of oil a year just to heat its schools, Shane said, adding that "if we could cut our costs for heating fuel between 35 and 50 percent, that's a huge savings."

According to an April article on value-walk.com, the cost ratio between barrels of oil and natural gas units reached 52 to 1. One company's natural gas futures dropped to $1.982 per 1,000 cubic feet, its lowest price in a decade, according to the article.

Shane noted that "this is all new tech-nology to this area, and we are really wrestling with a lot of the facts that we still don't know, and we're still learning about, and we need to educate our citi-zens so that they can make an informed decision of what works best for them."

He added, though, that the school and commercial users would benefit almost immediately from the use of natural gas.

Yarmouth Town Manager Nat Tupper said Monday that the idea of extending

the pipeline is "well worth exploring."He said he anticipates the majority

of town councilors will be interested in pursuing the option, adding that "there'll be some legitimate and articulate reserva-tions about perpetuating our dependence on fossil fuels."

Tupper also predicted there could be concerns or questions about safety, cut-ting up pavement, or any public subsidy that might be required to make the work happen.

"It does look like there are potential feasible options for expanding natural gas into all three communities," Falmouth Town Manager Nathan Poore said Mon-day, "and the obvious benefits of that alternative energy source are competition (and) cleaner fuel, and it's a desirable fuel due to price."

The town has discussed the venture with businesses, and "we're finding that there's clearly an interest," he said.

The purpose of Wednesday's meeting, Poore explained, was to share initial fea-

sibility findings with the town councils and public, and to "try to gather some input from the town councils as to what the next steps might be."Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear
