By Amber CroninFALMOUTH Voters will decide the

fate of the Falmouth Flyer METRO bus service in November.Resident Michael Doyles petition to

end Falmouths contract with METRO for bus service between Portland and Falmouth contained enough valid signa-

tures 872 to qualify for the ballot in November, the town clerk said Tuesday.Doyle, who has publicly opposed the

bus service since it began in 2004, said he thinks voters should have the chance to vote on the expense.Ive ridden the bus several times,

probably close to a dozen times and Im

usually one of two or three people in Falmouth on the bus at any given time, on any given day, he said.Doyles petition was contested by

bus backers earlier this summer. They claimed the man collecting signatures who Doyle would not identify was giving people false information about the

petitions goal.Some of the people who signed that

petition were told false information and thats outrageous, said Lisa Agnew, spokeswoman for the Friends of the Falmouth Flyer. But theres nothing in

Recycled schooner gets 3-year reprieve from FreeportBy Will GraffFREEPORT Harold Arndts dream will live

on, at least for another few years.Arndts 113-foot, two-masted schooner being

built out of recycled materials off Lower Flying Point Road will have three more years to be com-pleted after the Town Council on Tuesday night ap-proved an agreement with significant stipulations to allow the foundation that oversees the project to continue working on the boat.In a 6-0 vote, with one abstention, the council

extended the consent agreement that has allowed the Island Rover project to exist in violation of neighborhood zoning laws since 2005. The council debated the length of the extension

and added several requirements to be met, including quarterly reports to the town on progress, regular safety and environmental checks of the property, and a financial assurity package that will prevent taxpayers from being responsible for the cleanup if the project is not completed on time.Three years, I think we can live with; two years

would have been setting us up to fail, said Arndt, who is president of the Island Rover Foundation and started building the boat as personal project 20 years ago. At least we got a decision, now Ive just got to go do it.The council had originally planned to vote on the

project in August, but waited while the project site was reviewed by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Fire Department. Both reviews determined the project was safe.Construction of the boat, made of reused scrap

Angry Woods kills plan for office buildingBy Amber CroninFALMOUTH The owner

of TideSmart Global said Tues-day that he will not proceed with plans for a $3 million office building because of the

Town Councils recent discus-sion about his existing business sign.If I cant do business with

a sign, how can I try to work with them on a building, said

Steve Woods, who is also the chairman of the Yarmouth Town Council and an independent candidate for U.S. Senate.Woods, in an interview at

his Route 1 office, displayed

renderings of the building he said he had planned to build in Falmouth until last weeks council meeting.On Aug. 27, according to their

Is This YOUR Vision? www.town.falmouth.me.us/CompPlan

Planapalooza to focus on economic developmentBy Will GraffYARMOUTH The town is consoli-

dating its usually months-long planning process for the first time into a long weekend to produce a blueprint for eco-

nomic development.Often known as a charrette, the week-

end gives residents the opportunity to meet with planners, architects, engineers and artists to mold and shape a new master plan for the Route 1 corridor and create a new zoning code.The session is being called Planapaloo-

za 2012, Town Planner Vanessa Farr said.For the public, whats different is that

it is an intense planning session, multiple days all in a row, instead of meetings

monthly for years, Farr said. This is the communitys public hearing.This model allows the town to put

together a planning model for the towns economic and development future over five days, which Farr said she hopes will promote more involvement by commu-nity members.The town hopes to have tangible draw-

ings and plans presented at the closing of the long weekend, which runs from Sept. 13-17. The actual zoning code will be written in four to six weeks after the planning session, Farr said.

Yarmouth will be welcoming new development applications through a new process by late winter under this new review process, she said.The discussion will be aimed at de-

veloping a new code more focused on form of development and less focused on use, with buildings that are designed to respect the towns character in outside appearance, with less of a focus on what is inside, Farr said.The planning session will be run by

the Gardiner-based consulting firm Town Planning & Urban Design Collaborative. The firm will also be looking at environ-mental sustainability projects, such as storm water management, and connectiv-ity planning that focuses on the towns walkability.Planapalooza will start at 6 p.m.,

Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Yarmouth High School cafeteria with a hands-on design workshop, followed by an interim review Saturday at the American Legion Log Cabin, 196 Main St. The closing pre-sentation will be made Monday. All the events offer free food, including a pizza party, a chocolate reception and a com-munity soup dinner, with a food donation to the Food Pantry.The Town Hall Community Room will

be open every day of the planning session for an Open Design Studio.The total cost of the weekend is

$50,000, which includes design and zoning code, plus the cost of a new permitting process. The funding for the project comes from the towns economic development fund.Last week, the town hosted a presenta-

tion that included discussion about the towns future, as well as, a short bus tour around the Route 1 corridor. About 50 people attended, Farr said.

Falmouth begins review of school drug, alcohol policyBy Amber CroninFALMOUTH The School Board on

Tuesday night discussed the timeline for making revisions to its alcohol and drug policy, and reviewed changes to the state policy on the use of physical restraints.The drug-and-alcohol-policy review

follows a summer when police responded to two parties involving Falmouth High School students and alleged underage drinking.The first party on June 16, billed as

a chem-free celebration of Falmouth's baseball and lacrosse state champion-ships, ended with the arrest of one minor for administrative operating under the influence and two other minors being charged with possession of alcohol by consumption. The homeowners were summonsed for allowing minors to pos-sess and consume alcohol.Police responded to second party on

June 23, also involving Falmouth High School students and arrested Seth Rus-sell, 21, for furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol. Seven minors were charged with possession of alcohol.The last revision of the alcohol and

drug policy took place in the 2005-2006 school year and looked at the role of the School Department in investigating drug, alcohol or tobacco use on and off cam-pus, and how to best use school resources to promote safe behaviors for students.On Tuesday, Policy Committee Chair-

man Christopher Murry Jr. and High

School Principal Gregg Palmer said a re-view committee of community members, students, parents, town officials, teach-ers, coaches, administrators and board members will work together through next March when a vote on a new policy is expected.The addition of community members

is a step not taken in the previous review of the policy and it is one that Murry said he believes will aid in the effectiveness of the policy.The role of the community and the

role of the school are two important is-sues that are directly connected to the effectiveness of this policy, Murry said.Specifically the task force will look at

where student behavior takes place, the policy for self-reporting, and will ad-dress how to discipline students who are knowingly in the presence of alcohol/illegal substances something not dealt with in the current policy.Work on creating the task force will

begin this week and the board expects a first reading of the new policy sometime in February.Board members also listened to a

presentation by Drummond Woodsum attorney Eric Herlan about the sweeping statewide reform regarding the use of

therapeutic restraint and seclusion.(This is a) broad new law and it ap-

plies to all school districts in the state and applies to schools wherever they may be with students, Herlan said.The new law applies to everyone in

a school setting who has contact with students and totally rewrites the old rules.The new definition of physical restraint

says that restraint is any intervention that restricts a students freedom of movement or normal access to his or her body and includes physically moving a student who has not moved voluntarily.School officials may only use restraint

when there is an imminent risk of physi-

Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Commercial Fishing Incident Database.

killed in 26 separate incidents while fish-ing commercially off Maines coast from 2000-2011. Of the total deaths, 27 were caused by vessel disasters, usually induced by flooding. And a third of the deaths oc-curred in the lobster fleet.Its the same story in the region.A recent report by the Center for Pub-

lic Integrity, Boston public radio station WBUR and National Public Radio, found that from 2000 to 2009, people working in the groundfish fishery off New England and New York were 37 times more likely to die on the job as a police officer.A 2010 report from NIOSH shows that

from 2000-2009, 165 commercial fisher-men were killed while fishing off the East Coast, making the region more deadly than Alaska, which had 133 deaths.Despite these high death rates, govern-

ment and industry have been slow to enact regulations that address the dangers of the commercial fishing.But now, a new federal law that goes into

effect Oct. 16 may help stem that grim tide, U.S. Coast Guard officials hope.For the first time, commercial fishing

vessels that operate three or more miles from the coast will be required to undergo a dockside examination by the Coast Guard. Changes to the standards those boats have to meet in the examinations are being de-veloped, but will likely not be implemented for another few years.This is the first action to come from the

U.S. Coast Guard Reauthorization Act of

2010. Up until now, these examinations have been voluntary.Kevin Plowman, a Coast Guard inspector

in Maine, estimated that of 2,400 vessels that fall under the new law, only about 20 percent of the fleet is currently examined.Plowman said although the exams do not

impose any new regulations, he thinks they will help improve safety for commercial fishermen.It certainly is a step in the right direc-

tion, he said. What we want to know is, do you have the equipment to survive if something happens? We look at it a partner-ship with the fishermen.Besides Plowman, there is only one

inspector for the Coast Guards 1st Dis-trict, which covers Maine and part of New Hampshire. Although another inspector is expected this fall, Plowman admitted it will be difficult to get all the inspections done before Oct. 16.Can you do 2,000 exams in a month and

a half?, he said. No, but were going to do the best we can.The Coast Guard can board a vessel

at any time three or more miles out from shore, Plowman said, but they look only for proper safety equipment, such as flares and life jackets, not necessarily at the integrity of the boat.If you do it dockside, its easier to com-

plete the exam than if you get boarded out there by the Coast Guard, he said. All your stuff is in order already and you dont

By Alex LearCHEBEAGUE ISLAND While

still seeking residents to fill several committee openings, the town recently hired three key employees.Dick Clarke of Long Island was

hired in June to fill a vacant public services job in a three-quarter-time ca-pacity, according to an announcement by Town Administrator Eric Dyer. Clarke spent several years providing public works services on Long Island, and he has significant experience with equipment operation and maintenance.Clarke also offers a high degree of

professionalism, and is well versed in road maintenance and repair tech-niques among other relevant education and training, according to Dyer.Margaret Muller of Portland fills the

newly created job of municipal book-keeper. She works in the town office one to two days a week, helping with

check reconciliation, accounts pay-able processing and audit preparation, as well as developing and implement-ing internal financial controls for the town, according to Dyer.She previously spent more than six

years as the Winterport Water Dis-tricts assistant treasurer and office manager.Margaret has experience in all of

the areas she was hired to assist with and most importantly has worked with the specialized Trio accounting soft-

ware used by the Town, Dyer said.John Holt of Chebeague was also

hired to fill a vacant deputy town clerk position. Michelle Jones, who previ-ously wore many hats at Grays towns office, was hired earlier this year as Chebeagues town clerk and tax collector. She is the immediate past president of the Cumberland County Municipal Clerks Association, is a certified clerk of Maine and a graduate of the New England Municipal Clerks Institute and Academy.Meanwhile, Chebeague is looking

for two people to fill three-year terms on the seven-member Planning Board,

two to fill three-year terms on the five-member Shellfish Conservation Committee, and one to fill a three-year term on the three-member Road Plan Committee. Open membership is also available on the Aquaculture Committee.Those interested in learning more

Cumberland Wood Bank helps turn lumber into fuel fundsBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND As the warm days of summer give way to the chill of autumn and winter, the Cumberland Wood Bank wants to make sure as many residents as possible keep warm, whether they can af-ford it or not.

The Wood Banks crew will meet at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, on Drowne Road behind the Public Works garage, to deliver wood to customers who have purchased it and possibly to bring wood to people in need who can burn it.

Money raised from selling the wood goes toward purchasing fuel for people in need who cannot burn wood, according to Bruce

News briefs

Wildes, who chairs the committee that col-lects, processes and delivers the wood.

Diane Bennekamper, reverend at the Cumberland Congregational Church, al-locates the wood and money to people in need in the greater Cumberland area, Wildes said.

There are people that can use the help, and this is a way to give back to the com-munity, Wildes said.

The bank which gets its wood through donations, as long as the material has al-ready been cut has been delivering wood

for several years. The amount is driven by demand; about 45 cords were delivered in the last two years.

We get a lot of demand as the weather starts to turn, Wildes said.

The number of volunteers to deliver the wood is also a factor in how many deliver-ies are made.

We always need volunteers, Wildes said. ... We definitely need trucks and trailers, but we also need muscles.

Those interested in volunteering, do-nating wood or buying wood can reach Wildes at 370-8210 or [email protected]. People in need can call Bennekamper at 829-3419.

As of last week the bank had about half of its needed inventory for the season, which amounts to about 20 to 25 cords. Were going to be in need of more wood, Wildes said.

He noted that he tends to find more peo-ple in need who burn oil, rather than wood.

So we ended up find that it was just as advantageous to sell it to people who could afford to buy it, Wildes said, and people like to buy it from us, knowing that all of the proceeds are going to go to somebody that needs help.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

FALMOUTH Maines chapter of the Sierra Club will discuss the difference between tar sands oil and conventional oil, and the potential risks involved with its transportation, on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. at Falmouth Memorial Library.

The discussion will be led by Maine Sier-ra Club President Glen Brand of Falmouth.

Falmouth bridge closed through October

FALMOUTH The Maine Turnpike Authority closed the Leighton Road

bridge on Tuesday, Sept. 4, so crews can work on rehabilitating the bridge.

The span over Interstate 95 will remain closed through October.

During the closure, crews will work on the bridge abutment, piers, bridge deck and pavement.

MTA recommends accessing Mountain Road from either Brook Road or Gray Road while the work takes place and the bridge is closed.

This is an issue that both has national but also extremely local connections and Falmouth in particular, Brand said. Cumberland, Yarmouth and Freeport (also) have a real investment in protecting not only our drinking water source in Sebago Lake, but also Casco Bay.

He said Maine environmentalists are concerned that Enbridge Corp., a Canadian gas and oil company, hopes to pump tar sands oil from Alberta through an existing pipeline and into South Portland.

The prospect of a tar sands oil spill into Casco Bay or Sebago Lake would really have catastrophic economic and environ-mental consequences, Brand said.

A question-and-answer period will follow the 30-minute presentation.

traveled the world in search of inspiration for his art.And he found plenty along the rocky

shores of Scarborough, working in a con-verted carriage house on Prouts Neck that will be opened to public tours beginning Sept. 25.We want an authentic experience.

We want people to come here and get a sense of who Homer was, said Kristen Levesque, director of marketing and public relations at the Portland Museum of Art.Levesque said Homer would wander

Prouts Neck and sketch scenes, but fin-shed his work indoors and lived nearly year round in the studio. Much of the work competed at the studio captures seas roiling over rocks to a view from the shore looking up to the fog-bound studio.Through a $10.5 million capital cam-

paign, the museum was able to buy the property in 2006. It spent $2.8 million to restore the 2,300-square-foot, two-story structure, and created an endowment for exhibitions and care of the building.Scarborough tax records show the

museum bought the property just over 1/10th of an acre for $1.8 million.Homers studio was listed on the Nation-

al Register of Historic Places in 1966, and is tucked into an area his family bought in the mid-1880s and hoped to develop as an artists colony.By then, Homer was approaching 50

and known for his magazine illustrations from the Civil War, and oil or watercolor landscapes.Before making Scarborough his perma-

nent home, Homer lived in Cullercoats, a North Sea town in the United Kingdom. Levesque said Homer continued to travel after settling in Scarborough, but died in his studio in 1910 at age 74.Levesque noted Home did not enjoy

distractions as he worked in the studio, which was moved from its original site near a family home called The Ark, and redesigned by Portland architect John Calvin Stevens. Yet there are extensive photos of him at work and of the studio, which proved invaluable in the restoration process.The photos allowed restorers to count

exterior clapboards, and Levesque said

the interior pine walls and floors were dismantled and cleaned. Excavation below Homers painting room turned up empty paint bottles and brush tips. His name is etched into a first-floor library window, and his pencilled literary quotations are still visible on walls.The interior restoration recaptures

Homers working environment, and the exterior piazza facing the ocean has been reinforced with steel beams so visitors can step into the view, which on a sunny day extends beyond Old Orchard Beach to the mouth of the Saco River.The piazza was a major addition by

Stevens, but was already faltering while Homer was alive. Workers also rebuilt the studios mansard roof and the ladder Homer used to climb to a rooftop perch.The artists passions beyond the palate

are well represented inside with his pipe, fishing rod, an eel spear and nets. A sign on the mantle warning of abundant snakes and mice was once posted outdoors as a

devoted to highlighting other artists who have worked in Maine or called it home. Levesque said the multimedia presenta-tions will be changed to keep things fresh.The studio will open with a Sept. 17

ceremony and press preview, and public tours begin Sept. 25. Access is limited to 10 visitors at a time, who will be driven to the studio in a van from the Congress Square museum in Portland.Studio tours will end for the year on

commissioned by the Portland Museum of Art took six years to complete. The museum has owned the studio for more than six years, its restoration was funded through a $10.5

million capital campaign that was also used to establish an endowment fund.

Dec. 2, and resume next spring from April 2 to June 14. Levesque said no tour schedule has been determined beyond next spring.

Open Letter to the Falmouth Town Council,OnMonday,August 27th, you held a public meeting to review a zoning amendment regarding Property Identification Signs. It should be noted that this Council item was atown wide policy issue, as it was an amendment that applied to business signage not to me personally or my company, TideSmart Global. While the amendment was/iscertainly relevant to an ongoing signage situation involving my business, the agenda item being considered by the Town Council was a general ordinance matter. Yet for47-minutes, I was personally referenced approximately 100 times while the merits of the actual ordinance change being considered was not referenced even once.Not once.And during that 47-minute hearing, I was personally, professionally and politically insulted, disparaged, and slandered by the Falmouth Town Council in a manner that can onlybe described as an act of malice. (The video of this meeting is available on the town website.)Irony #1 : The ordinance that the Falmouth Town Council claimed that Im in violation of was for the most part supplied by me two years ago.When I was in the process ofdeveloping my business campus in Falmouth, the town did not have a detailed policy pertaining to business campus signage and I was told by the town that if I wanted one, that Ishould submit my own. So, I spent considerable time and expense by engaging a local engineering firm to basically write the towns new signage ordinance.Without wasting toomuch ink here, I firmly believe that my business signage here at TideSmart is in compliance and if there is any issue, subjective or not, it concerns an accent word (Global) onthe signage that is 4 instead of 5 not a typo, inches. (Yes, most signage complaints involve display lettering too large, not 1-inch too small a smaller irony on top of another.)Irony #2 : In recent history, the Falmouth Town Council and various members felt as though they were being unfairly criticized by members of the public. In direct response,Falmouth Councilors went as far as unanimously passing an official Resolution that in effect outlawed, name calling, personal attacksabusive bullying and threateninglanguage. from members of the public expressed towards the Council and its members. Declared by the Council, such language does not foster the free and open exchangeof ideas on which the operation of good government depends.such behavior undermines our elected form of government and our democratic institutions and will not betolerated at any time during Council meetings or through Council correspondence. Beyond the resolution, there was a verbalized sentiment that no one should address orattack Councilors directly or personally and that Council matters should stay within the parameters of each issue itself. That resolution was followed by the Town Councildrafting an amendment to their Council Rules that was evenmore restrictive. Ultimately, the Council dropped the draconian rules change after the Maine Civil Liberties Unionweighed in with the correct opinion that such restrictions were unconstitutional.Irony #3 : Please direct your attention to the two photos below. (Both were taken on Saturday, September 1, 2012, and neither has been altered.) The sign on the left is owned andmaintained by the town of Falmouth itself. Its central location (corner U.S. Route 1 & Depot Rd.) makes it one of the most visible signs in all of Falmouth. Its content anddirectional function (Town Hall, Police Department, Schools, etc.) makes it one of the most critical signs in Falmouth. Yet, for many years now this faded sign with -inch to3-inch letters is so illegible that its completely non-functional and more of a public safety hazard than anything else. Over the years, how many Falmouth Town Councilors andtown employees have driven past this sign every single daywith no action, no outrage and no televised indignation? The photo on the right shows the TideSmart entrance. LastMonday, one Falmouth Town Councilor (Orestis) suggested that I should be forced to remove both rock walls/signs because the accent word below TideSmart (Global) isonly 4-inches and not 5.Irony #4 : In the aftermath of last weeks Council meeting, I wrote to the Falmouth Town Council Chairwoman, Faith Varney, and respectfully requested an opportunity toaddress the Council on their concerns over my sign, during their September 24th meeting. (I indicated that my travel schedule would not allow me to attend their next meeting onSeptember 10th.) I also wrote, Given that the Falmouth Town Council spent 47-minutes on Monday, 8/27, discussing this issue, with much of that time used to personally andprofessionally disparage me - I think that it would be fair to allow me ample time to refute the numerous misstatements made by town staff and various members of the Council. Ibelieve that 40-minutes would be adequate. In response to my request, here is what Chairwoman Varney said by email, As for the amount of time, I suggest 8 minutes. I arrivedat this amount of time by taking the 47 minutes and dividing it by 6 (the number of persons who contributed to the conversation) and rounding it up to a whole number. Mysubsequent written response to her was, Regarding time allocation, I'm not sure I understand your logic. If the Council and town staff generated 47-minutes ofcomments/observations/mis-statements/etc., last meeting, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that it might take a comparable amount of time to adequately address the sum ofthose same discussion elements, regardless of how many participants were involved? How can I address the content of the Council's 47-minutes of discussion in 8-minutes? Byyour logic, if the town had included more participants attacking me last Monday, would I now have even less time to offer my response? The latest written response fromChairwoman Varney, As for time allocation, I have offered, and continue to offer, eight (8) minutes. That is three minutes over the amount of time offered to Falmouth citizens tospeak at the beginning of our regular meetings. It is enough time to state your facts and not enough time to bore your audience, which I believe you are aware that the requested40 minutes would do. Bore my audience? More time than offered to Falmouth citizens as opposed to what - business owners? Beyond the significant (and obvious) legal,constitutional and practical considerations, Chairwoman Varneys colliding (and bizarre) concepts of math and democracy are beyond troubling.Back to last Mondays Council meeting.Was it blind hypocrisy, blatant ignorance or governmental incompetency that fueled the Falmouth Town Council to spend 47-minutesattacking a local business owner during a public meeting on an item that was not even specific to him?And why did their words and tonality suggest that a business owner wasan inferior and less deserving community member as compared with a homeowner?Three years ago my current property at 380 US Route 1 featured a For Sale sign and a large undeveloped lot with large piles of dirt, rock and trash. The property was on themarket for quite some time with no one else interested in making an investment in this area of Falmouth. The signage at the time consisted of a $20 hardware store mailboxwith small lettering on U.S. Route 1, sitting upon a crooked wooden post. Since 2009, Ive personally committed more than $3 million buying this property, adding a ClassAbuilding, installing solar power, spending more than $30,000 on a stone entrance made from reclaimed rock from the site and making many, many site improvements.Also, Iveadded at my expense, evergreen trees to shield the towns unsightly sewer substation at the corner of US Route 1 & Johnson Rd. Ive engaged numerous Falmouth basedbusinesses for goods/services (landscape, hardscape, engineering, excavation, electric, foodservice, maintenance, etc.) Ive supported the Falmouth School system throughnumerous donations to the Falmouth Education Foundation. Ive hired numerous Falmouth residents for various part-time and full-time opportunities. Finally, Ive paid more than$79,762 in various taxes and fees to Falmouth.In short, I believe that since locating my business in Falmouth almost three years ago, Ive been a good neighbor, friend and economic contributor to this community.As abusiness owner, an elected official and candidate for the U.S. Senate, I am used to hearing and reading public comments that contain some measure of public criticism, complaintor disappointment directed towards me. I can accept that reality as being an element of my public role. But the Falmouth Town Council did something last Monday evening thatfell into a whole different category. You misused your roles as Town Councilors during a Town Council meeting to attack me for 47-minutes about something that in the end,represents a truth smaller than 1-inch.In the coming days when members of the Council are driving down U.S. Route 1 here in Falmouth searching out other 1-inch signage infractions that warrant public pain andembarrassment for their owners, please take notice of the dozens of For Sale and For Lease signs that surround my building and are sprouting up all along U.S. Route 1 inFalmouth. These signs reflect a clear and meaningful manifestation that doing business in Falmouth is too hard and too costly.And last Monday night, the Falmouth TownCouncil made it much harder. Some members more than others, but as a collective, the entire Falmouth Town Council, should be ashamed. During the meeting, Councilor Orestismade an animated televised statement infused with the cheapest brand of political pompousness about sending a message to local businesses. Message received.More than accomplishing your stated goal of hurting me, you let down the people of Falmouth residents and business owners.They deserve more from their elected officials. We all do.StephenM.WoodsCEO of TideSmart Global380 US Rt. 1, Falmouth ME 04105Chairman Yarmouth Town CouncilCandidate United States Senate

With port strikes looming, businesses plan for the worstBy Whit RichardsonBangor Daily News

PORTLAND The union that repre-sents dock workers at East Coast ports, including Portlands, is threatening to strike if its not successful in renegotiating its contract with port operators.

A strike could impact several Maine busi-nesses and produce a ripple effect through-out the states economy.

The recent round of negotiations between the International Longshoremens Associa-tion and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents container carriers and port opera-tors in the negotiations including Port Americas, which operates the Portland Marine Terminal broke down last week. No new talks are scheduled, both sides told the Associated Press. The current contract expires at the end of September.

Meanwhile, the ILA chapter at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the East Coasts busiest port, authorized a strike on Tuesday if the contract deal isnt reached, according to the AP.

The Portland Marine Terminal handles between 3,000 and 5,000 containers a year, on average, Jack Humeniuk, the ILAs rep-resentative in Portland and an employee of Port Americas, told the Bangor Daily News. There are 45 members in Portlands ILA chapter, he said.

But its not just a disruption of con-

tainer service in Portland that would impact Maine businesses. A strike at ports in New York, Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other East Coast ports would disrupt the en-tire nations supply chain and create a ripple effect throughout the economy.

If the ILA workers strike, the worst-case scenario for Maine businesses, Humeniuk said, is theyd have to move their stuff through the West Coast.

The contract in question is a master agreement on container service, so it wont impact the noncontainerized cargo that moves in and out of Maine, such as wood pulp and lumber and fuel, Humeniuk said.

For those Maine businesses that do re-ceive and ship cargo by container L.L. Bean, Sappi Fine Paper and White Rock Distilleries a strike at East Coast ports would disrupt their supply chain and force them to seek alternative routes.

L.L. Bean is a considerable user of Portlands container service, Carolyn Beem, a spokeswoman for the Freeport retailer, told the BDN. Its a big part of the mix for us, she said. In terms of the looming strikes we are looking at contingency plan-ning and routing more to the West Coast.

The worst-case scenario would be mov-ing merchandise by air freight, Beem said. Thats just ridiculous with the costs associ-ated with that.

Another user of Portlands container

service is White Rock Distilleries, the Lewiston liquor company purchased last year by Beam Inc., the producer of Jim Beam bourbon. It receives raw vodka from France at its Lewiston facility and ships out cases of Pinnacle brand vodka.

Were definitely monitoring the situa-tion, said Paula Erickson, a spokeswoman for Beam Inc., and we definitely have contingency plans in place if something should occur in terms of a strike or disrup-tion at the ports.

Shifting supply chains and seeking alter-native shipping routes would increase costs for White Rock, which employs more than 150 people, but that would be a secondary consideration, Erickson said. The com-panys No. 1 priority would be to ensure 100 percent uninterrupted production and shipment of the companys product.

Sappis paper mill in Westbrook is also looking at its options if dock workers strike. We are aware of a potential longshoreman strike and we are working with our supply chain partners to minimize or avoid any service disruptions through strategic con-tingency plans, said Joanna Rieke, Sappis manager of corporate communications.

Its not just Maines largest shippers that would be affected. A strike at East Coast

ports would be felt throughout Maines economy as products get backed up at over-burdened West Coast ports and the entire supply chain slows.

As it goes further down the supply chain it starts to have an impact on everybody, L.L. Beans Beem said.

For all Maine retailers, a prolonged strike could spell trouble, according to Curtis Picard, executive director of the Maine Merchants Association, especially since it would occur just as stores begin to stock up on Christmas-season merchandise.

However, Picard expects the potential for a strike is not even on the radar screen of small retailers, he said.

Picard is watching the situation and ex-pects to reach out to his members within the next few weeks. In the meantime, if retailers are worried about how a strike would affect them, they should call their distributor and get a better handle on where their product is coming from and where the distributor is located, Picard said. If theyre on the West Coast, they may not have an issue, he said.

Humeniuk was not at last weeks nego-tiations in Florida, but said the talks broke down over the use of automation at ports that eliminate longshoremen jobs and the question of port operators providing money

Put a Navy SEAL in the state SenateIt occurs to me that since the world was made safer

by the removal of Bin Laden by our Navy SEALS, there ought to be a parallel between that super job of defending us from terrorists and the election of a state senator in District 11, which covers the towns of Falmouth, Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, Cumberland, Chebeague Island and Long Island.

Since the SEALs are the best of the best and one of their own is a resident of Cumberland and a small busi-ness owner running for this seat we ought to pay him some heed. It also occurs to me that since 99 percent of

us could not ever qualify as a SEAL that candidate Chris Tyll is some-thing extra special.This young family man will bring

SEAL dedication and energy to the state Senate and he will serve us well. I will vote for Tyll.George A. FoggNorth Yarmouth

Portland has a sign language all its ownI always wanted to live on a lake, thanks to memo-

ries of visiting my grandparents cottage in northern Michigan.My first sight was the lake, a sheet of glass with a mist

hovering a few feet above. It was like waking up in an enchanted forest on a backbreaking surplus Ma-rine Corps cot, in a drafty cinder block cabin with no indoor plumbing and in-adequate screening be-cause as a Midwesterner, I had no business enjoying something that someone else may have missed, and as a Protestant, even my fantasies were filled with mosquitoes.Despite being unable

to enjoy it fully, the fan-tasy hung around in the background until last fall when some friends made it a reality. They asked us if we would do them the favor of staying in their beautiful lake house for the winter. Do them a favor? Lemmethinkaboutityes! Autumn was delightful. We had the still water and hovering mists, but not the insects. Indoor plumbing. It was five months of living the dream without having to buy the dream.Getting Elizabeth to school every morning was a little

more time consuming, although it was a nice change from driving the same stretch of outer Congress Street. I was weary of seeing the same strip malls and gas sta-

tions every day, not to mention trying to resist the siren song of Tonys Donuts.There would have been more time to engage with my

daughter, except for the unspoken rule Elizabeth and I have developed about conversation in the car. I dont speak, and thats the rule. The longer silence, coupled with increased stop-and-go traffic on the new route, gave me a chance to observe the route, and I found myself increasingly drawn to the signage on the various busi-nesses. An earlier contribution to these pages suggested how a few intriguing local businesses contribute to Portlands unique personality. A completely unscientific study of how some of them choose to draw attention to themselves, undertaken from my car window on the way to my daughters school, confirms that unique character.The main thing, no pun intended, is how un-corporate

Portland is. Im sure the long-time Mainers would dis-agree, but theyve never lived in southern California.L.A. is all about branding. On Ventura Boulevard, a

car wash would either have an enormous sign conceived and executed by an out-of-work Disney animator, or a three-story tall pole dancer holding a sponge. You may run off the road, but you wont forget its a car wash. Heres what you wont see: a smallish generic movable letter sign like one I saw on one of the lesser business streets. It carried the almost cryptic message, Salt Eats Cars with a hand drawn monster face poised over the word Cars like a Pac-Man with teeth.What really got me about this place though and Im

sure it was just an accident of timing was that the sign always seemed to say, Salt Eats Cars Car Wash Closed, as if the owners were saying, Sure, we could wash your car. Washing your car is no problem. But the

salt will get you eventually, so, whats the point?Im probably reading all this into the message, and I

was simply driving by before they opened, but maybe, just maybe, this sign is brilliant advertising. It doesnt fit the Western marketing model. Instead, it takes a Zen approach. By making it a challenge to find out when they are open, the business insures a customer base that truly wants their cars washed. It makes sense if you think about it, but not too much.Another sign I love is the one with the dog drinking

out of a stein. A picture is worth a thousand words. Portland is a dog-friendly city. I applaud that. You can feel comfortable bringing your dog into the club. The Snug on Munjoy Hill usually has several dogs roam-ing around. It gives the place a homey feel. I dont go to bars much, but I like the thought of my local joint welcoming pets.However. The dog is drinking out of a beer stein. Im

not saying its beer. For all I know, beer is good for dogs. Im not implying any irresponsibility at all, but its a human beer stein. I have two dogs, I dont even like it when they lick my face, because Ive seen some of the places they go. So, I love the sign. I love how efficiently it conveys a message of warmth and inclusiveness, but Im not joining the mug club. Thats all Im saying.Portland resident Mike Langworthy, an attorney, former

stand-up comic and longtime television writer, is fascinated by all things Maine. You can reach him at [email protected].

The ViewFrom Away

Lawmaker challenged on accomplishment claimLets be honest, Rep. Anne Graham. On your website

and in news releases youve been promoting LD 1878, An Act to Allow Abatement of Property Taxes Due to Hardship, as your signature legislation in 2012, claiming it relieves property taxes for homes destroyed by fire. Maine towns have the sole ability to decide when tax abatements are needed by their property own-ers. Your ill-conceived proposal removed local decision making when there was fire damage to a building. Your bill was so egregious that it was fought by towns through the Maine Municipal Association, tax asses-sors, and even town officials in your district. Your bill was rejected by the Committee on Taxation because it reduced local control over property taxes. The version that ultimately passed purged your ideas, removed any reference to the word fire and only changed one word in the law. The word hardship replaced the word infirmity, thus giving more control to municipalities. Thankfully, your bill did not become law.

GOP convention showed Romney at his bestIt seemed like forces were conspiring against the

Republican national convention last week.The media was playing up Todd Aikens immoder-

ate remarks. Ron Pauls supporters were threatening to broker or boycott the convention. And Hurricane Isaac was depositing rains of biblical proportions on the Gulf Coast.But the Romney cam-

paign did not panic. It remained resolute and stayed the course. It kept focused on the people, principles and policies that distinguish the Republican agenda.It began when Mitt Rom-

ney chose Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate. In doing so, Romney made a decision not to make some sort of appeal for votes from those in the middle of the political spectrum. He elected to sharpen the ideological divide between himself and the president.The convention was crafted to illustrate that divide

with speakers who personified the American Dream: that with hard work you can start from humble origins and build a business, become a congressman, a gover-nor, a stateswoman, even president. They gave eloquent testimony about the goodness of Romney as a person, and the virtues of the policies he proposes for America.South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley introduced her-

self as the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who came to America, started a business, and built it into a multimillion-dollar company. As governor, she worked to encourage private enterprise, like Boeing, to come to her state. But it wasnt easy, because the Obama admin-istration fought her. She explained that as president, Mitt Romney would support business, not oppose, business development.Ann Romney told the audience how her husband is

a hard-working businessman who will work hard to restore American prosperity. He was not handed suc-cess on a silver platter. He did not go into the family business. He built his own with hard work.Romney is a good Samaritan. He quietly helps his

neighbors, a friend in trouble or a parent whose child is in the hospital. He saved the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Guided Massachusetts out of economic cri-sis. Ann Romney explained that he is modest about his good works because he doesnt do them to win political points; he does them because helping others is its own reward.New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke of how his

parents raised themselves up from poverty. How he gets his own plain-spoken bluntness from his mother, who was the family enforcer. She taught him that it was better to be respected than loved, because love without respect is fleeting, while respect can grow into real and lasting love.Christie delivered the tough-love truth about the dif-

ference between Democrats and Republicans: Demo-crats believe that people cannot solve their problems themselves, that they need government to do it for them. Republicans believe that we can fix our own problems with good values and leadership. In New Jersey, he inherited a history of raising taxes and an $11 billion dollar deficit. People said that it would be impossible, but Christie balanced the budget and lowered taxes.Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee noted that in

addition to the at least 13 percent of income that Mitt Romney pays in taxes, he gives 16 percent to charity and his church. Huckabee pointed out that for years, Vice President Joe Biden gave less than 2/10s of 1 percent to charity.Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice observed

that the Arab Spring is proof that the desire for freedom is universal. She argued that the world is a better place when America clearly and unambiguously stands for freedom and opportunity. It is a more dangerous and chaotic place when, as now, friends and foes dont know where America stands.New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez emphasized that

success is not something to be ashamed of or demon-ized it should be celebrated. She explained how a little girl from a border town grew up to be the first Hispanic woman governor of a state. Her parents started a security guard business with nothing and grew it into a small business that employed 125 employees in three states. She went to law school, became a prosecutor, then the district attorney, then governor. As governor, she inherited the largest structural deficit in state history, but turned it into a surplus.Former Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healy recalled

how as governor, Mitt Romney assembled a cabinet of the best and the brightest men and women, Republicans and Democrats. He cut taxes, improved education, and turned around a $3 billion deficit.Ryan, Romney's running mate, pointed out that the

president has been in power for almost four years. Rather than use that power to make job creation his first order of business, he borrowed and wasted trillions of dollars on government programs like the stimulus and government-controlled health care. As a result, 23 mil-lion Americans are struggling to find work. Instead of accepting responsibility for that failure, Obama contin-ues to blame the prior administration.Ryan promised that he and Romney will not duck the

tough issues. They will take responsibility, reapply our countrys founding principles, limit federal spending to 20 percent of GDP or less, reform taxes and regulations, generate 12 million new jobs, and get the economy growing.Romney and Obama are both decent, honorable

men. But they personify very different experiences of, and visions for, America. They provide us with a very real choice in November. The president puts his faith in government: the stimulus, bank bailout, bailout for Detroit, cash for clunkers, mortgage restructuring, and government mandated health care.Romney puts his faith in peoples ability to provide

for themselves.Halsey Frank is a Portland resident, attorney and

By Chris OrestisDuring a Falmouth Town Council meeting on Mon-

day, Aug. 27, the topic of a significant commercial sign on Route 1 that was built in violation of existing town ordinances was discussed.Specifically, the owner of the sign requested that

the Town Council change the rules to comply with the non-conforming sign. Members of the council, including myself, were not happy with the idea that the town would change the rules that all other Falmouth business owners follow, to accommodate one business owner who has violated them.It isnt fair to punish the business owners of

Falmouth who follow the rules by rewarding one who did not. The definition of being a pro-business com-munity is fair and equal application of the rules and regulations to ensure a level playing field. Exemptions, or outright changes to ordinances (as was requested) to fix violations is the antithesis of being a fair and busi-ness friendly environment.During the discussion it was suggested that a rela-

tively small fine might be imposed, and I specifically said any fine levied in this situation should hurt, so that it is a deterrent from this kind of behavior in the future. It is important that precedents are set in these situations so we do not encourage an environment where business and/or property owners begin to ignore rules and regulations with the anticipation all they need to do is pay a small fine, or a parking ticket, as just the cost of doing business in any manner they choose.This discussion and our resulting decision to seek

a not insignificant fine as a course of action towards compliance have nothing to do with the individual business involved. To be a business-friendly commu-nity we must uphold the rules for everyone to ensure a fair and level playing field. As a business-friendly town, we can't operate from a standpoint that the rules will be changed, or a relatively small fine will be im-posed, to accommodate violators.If the rules dont apply equally to everyone, than

they apply to no one.Chris Orestis is a Falmouth town councilor.


Are Falmouths rules for all or none?

Council shows malice, makes doing business too hard in FalmouthBy Stephen M. WoodsOn Monday, Aug. 27, Councilor Chris Orestis and the

Falmouth Town Council held a public meeting to review a zoning amendment regarding Property Identification Signs. It should be noted here that this council item was a town-wide policy issue, as it was an amendment that applied to business signage not me personally or my company, TideSmart Global.While the amendment is certainly relevant to an ongoing

signage situation involving my business, the agenda item considered by the Town Council was a general ordinance matter.Yet for 47 minutes, I was personally referenced ap-

proximately 100 times while the merits of the actual ordinance change being considered was not referenced even once. Not once.And during that 47-minute hearing, I was personally,

professionally and politically insulted, disparaged, and slandered by you, Councilor Orestis, and others on the Falmouth Town Council in a manner that can only be described as an act of malice. (The video is available on Falmouths town website.)During the council meeting you made many comments

pertaining to teaching me a lesson, making it hurt, while openly asking what could be done to punitively punish me. You made many references to not letting me or other businesses get away with anything, even going so far as to suggest that I should be forced to dismantle my entrance sign.Anyone watching your televised performance can see

that yours were not the reasoned words of a thoughtful town leader. They were the petty and puny declarations of a small man with a bigger agenda to hurt a neighboring community leader, U.S. Senate candidate and Falmouth business owner.In the coming days when youre driving down U.S.

Route 1 in Falmouth searching out other one-inch sig-nage infractions that warrant public pain and embarrass-ment for their owners, please take notice of the dozens of For Sale and For Lease signs that surround my building and are sprouting up all along U.S. Route 1 in Falmouth. These signs reflect a clear and meaningful manifestation that doing business in Falmouth is too hard.And last Monday night, you made it much harder. You,

Councilor Orestis, and the entire Falmouth Town Council should be ashamed. More than accomplishing your stated goal of hurting me, you let down the people of Falmouth residents and business owners. They deserve more from their elected officials.We all do.

William James can take Ayn Rand any dayWhile vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul

Ryan was reading Ayn Rand, I was reading Wil-liam James.Well, not at the same time, but just as Ryans

young mind was receptive to and formed by Rands absolutist philosophy of self-interest, James New England philosophy of radical empiri-cism made more sense to me than anything else I read as a college student and it informs my thinking to this day.I read Ayn Rand

when I was a student and found her black-and-white thinking simplistic. What attracted me to the writings of William James was the way he was able to handle the shades of gray that color most of experi-ence.

The fundamental philosophical dilemma that James helped me work my way through was how, in all intellectual honesty, I could profess a belief in Christianity given that my most profound perception of life is that no one is in possession of the truth. Anyone who claims to know the mean-ing of life or the mind of the Creator, be she a theoretical physicist or a metaphysical preacher, is deluded, a charlatan, or both.So my starting point is always this: we are all

ultimately clueless. Given this one simple truth, how then do we live a meaningful life?Some folks seem to believe that God is neces-

sary for a moral universe, that it is only our fear of God and eternal damnation that keeps us from living like barbarians. I dont believe that at all. It seems to me that a code of human compassion and moral behavior would be even more necessary in a godless universe. Were all in the same boat (or whirling through space on the same mysterious planet) without any clue where we are going or why, so lets do what we can to take care of one another.Before I read William James, I read Jean-Paul

Sartre and Albert Camus. "The Stranger" is still my all-time favorite novel and I certainly under-stood the existentialists sense of the absurd, the meaninglessness of existence. But I still wanted to believe in the loving God of my Congregational upbringing and William James pragmatic philoso-phy helped me do so.

Grant an idea to be true, what concrete differ-ence will its being true make in any ones life? James asks. How will the truth be realized? ... What, in short, is the truths cash value in experien-tial terms?If I believe in God and the teachings of Jesus

Christ will my life be better than if I do not? I be-lieve so. Thats why I fight through my doubts and try to live into the Christ story, a story of forgive-ness and selflessness.Believe, and you shall be right, for you shall

save yourself; doubt, and you shall again be right, for you shall perish, writes James. The only dif-ference is that to believe is greatly to your advan-tage.James proposed that Truth happens to an idea. It

becomes true, is made true by events.Truth then is relative. There is no objective

reality, no absolute truth. We all know this in our bones, but we have a hard time accepting it in our minds. True ideas are just those that get us into better relationships with experience and with one another. My old philosophy professor Bill Gavin, a James scholar and a philosopher in the American process tradition, would probably shudder at my corrupted interpretation of the great mans thought, but, hey, it works for me.Scientists, of course, would like us to believe that

there are immutable and discoverable laws of na-ture, that only verifiable, replicable truths are valid, but science only describes the how of life, not the why. No matter how far out into the cosmos or how deep down into the microcosm you push the known, it is always dwarfed by the unknown. You cant reduce life to a set of empirical facts. Science is every bit a belief system as religion. By the time a science major graduates from college, half the things hes learned have been proved wrong.The idea that we create our own truths, that we

transform reality by virtue of our beliefs has a distinctly Buddhist flavor to it, but it is central to my practice of Christianity. We are working for the transformation of this world into the kingdom of God. It is a very liberating and, I would argue, a very liberal way to live ones life.And if youre not trying to make the world a

better place for all living things, what in heavens name are you doing here?Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in
