By Dylan MartinBRUNSWICK — The Village Re-

view Board on Tuesday unanimously approved an application of appropriate-ness for the police station proposed for the corner of Stanwood and Pleasant streets.

Kris Hultgren, the town planner, said this was the next-to-last step in the ap-proval process that has lasted nearly

three years.Hultgren said the Police Station

Building Committee indicated it could submit a plan to the Planning Board as soon as Tuesday, Sept. 4. That would place the plan for review on the board’s Sept. 25 meeting – the final step needed before the Police Station Building Com-mittee starts the permitting process.

“It’s possible that on Sept. 25 they

will be done with development review,” Hultgren said.

The new police station needed the ap-proval of the Village Review Board, the

By Dylan MartinBRUNSWICK — Superintendent

of Schools Paul Perzanoski issued a public apology Tuesday for using his welcome letter to staff as the me-dium to criticize Gov. Paul LePage’s education policy.

But he also said he stands by his opinion.

“I will sincerely apologize for using the ‘Back to School’ format, to the Brunswick community and the governor, yet I will continue to stand behind the message of my let-ter and interview,” Perzanoski said in a prepared statement.

School Board Chairman James Grant said that while it’s not clear

whether the board will discuss the superintendent’s letter at its Sept. 12 meeting, the School Department’s law firm found that Perzanoski didn’t violate any school policies.

“There’s been no policy violation as we can determine,” Grant said, referring to the findings by Drum-mond Woodsum, the law firm that

represents the department.Corinne Perreault, vice chairwom-

an of the board, said she doesn’t know how the board will address the issue, or if it will, until she and Grant create the meeting’s agenda next Wednesday with Perzanoski.

Air show a chance to reach veterans

StEPhAniE MARtin / FOR thE FORECAStERA jet soars above a wall of exploding napalm at the Brunswick Executive Airport on Aug. 25 during the Great State of Maine Air Show. The organizer, the

Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, said more than 40,000 people attended the show last weekend.

By Dylan MartinBRUNSWICK — As jets

soared and tumbled through the air at the Great State of Maine Air Show last week-end – an event meant to honor those who have served in the U.S. armed services – Randall Simonse of North Yarmouth remembered a darker time when veterans weren’t welcomed back with open arms.

Simonse, a commander for 716th chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and member of Amvets Post 2 in Yarmouth, served in the Vietnam War.

“Because of all the movies and stuff, they painted all Vietnam veterans as half-crazy and killers and things like that,” said Simonse, who spent four months in an Okinawa, Japan, hospi-tal after his helicopter was shot down. “And there’s still some of that stigma that

goes along today. Our veterans today still face that unwar-ranted stigma.

“You don’t have to look too hard today to find Vietnam veterans that have done nothing

but quietly pursuing their lives, having careers, helping others, and that’s what all veterans are.”

Simonse is one of those veterans who seeks to help oth-

ers. He was at the Brunswick Executive Airport to inform others of a nonprofit guide service for veterans and active service members that he is involved with called House in

the Woods.“Many veterans, when

they’re wounded and return, they feel different. Because,

RSU 1 selects part-time assistant superintendentBy Alex Lear

BATH — Judith Harvey said she looks forward to bringing her skills to Regional School Unit 1 as its new assistant super-intendent.

The RSU 1 Board of Directors voted unanimously Monday to hire Harvey. She replaces Wayne Dorr, who was full-time assistant superintendent for a year. Due to budget cuts, Harvey will serve in an 80 percent of full-time capacity.

"I loved the idea of coming into a posi-tion where I could work in what has been my love for many years, which would be curriculum instruction," Harvey, 64, of Hallowell said on Monday. "It's a good dis-trict ... everything appealed to me about it."

SAD 75 opens school year with new administratorsBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — New administrators are walking the halls as School Administrative District 75 starts another school year.

Don Gray is one familiar face, though. He's back as assistant principal of Mt. Ara-rat High School, having been out on active deployment last year; Mimi Sorg filled in during his absence.

Randa Rineer is the new principal of the Williams-Cone elementary school, replac-

ing Steve Ciembroniewicz. Two other ad-ministrators were hired in June and started last month: Daniel Chuhta, who replaced Elaine Dow as assistant superintendent, and Todd Sampson, who took over Colin Roy's athletic director job at Mt. Ararat High School.

The future of school libraries is one focus in the coming year, Superintendent Brad Smith said on Monday. After the res-ignation of a longtime librarian at the high school, "we started asking the question, 'what is the role of a high school librarian? For that matter, any librarian in a school?' And we felt like ... with the advent of tech-nology ... probably the nature of what goes on in a library is drastically changed."

World language is another focus. SAD 75 – which includes Topsham, Harpswell, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham – offers French, Spanish, German and Chinese starting in seventh grade. The Chinese teaching posi-tion has been funded through a grant, but with that money diminishing, the district is looking at having to assume a greater share of the costs to maintain that program.

"We need to determine how much world language we can and should be providing to kids," Smith said.

The superintendent also said he sees a greater emphasis this school year on con-nections to the community, such as greater involvement of parents and community members into the schools as volunteers.

"We've set up a process so that we can recruit those folks, and make sure that we match people who have skills and abilities ... and at the same time we need to ensure that those folks coming into the school are safe and appropriate for our students," Smith said.

five said being hired felt "great," adding that "I really wanted the position. I love the community, and the people that I've met here so far are all wonderful. And I hear great things about the teaching staff, and certainly the administrators are really fabulous people. I'm just very excited to be working with such a dynamic group."

Harvey was superintendent in Thomas-ton-based School Administrative District

50 from 2002-2009. She has since served as interim superintendent in Hope and Livermore Falls. Before her work in SAD 50, Harvey taught a Gifted and Talented program at Wiscasset Middle School from 1993-1998, and then was principal at Hodgkins Middle School in Augusta from 1999-2000.

Harvey was selected from a pool of 15 applicants, Superintendent Patrick Manuel

said, adding that the search committee felt she had strength in curriculum instruction and assessment.

Manuel praised Harvey's "interpersonal skills, her ability to work with people, (and) build relationships, as well as really have a focus on what's in the best interest of students in their learning."Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Durham man suspected in at least 12 car burglariesBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — A Durham man has been implicated in a dozen car burglaries in the area and could be connected to another 20 after he admitted to involvement last week, police said.

Robert J. Carroll, 21, confessed to the break-ins after he was arrested on Aug. 21, Deputy Police Chief Marc Hagan said.

In the hours leading up to his arrest, Car-roll allegedly broke into a McLellan Street house, where two children witnessed the theft of a laptop computer, Hagan said. The mother of the two children saw Carroll leave as she arrived; she alerted police and provided a description of the intruder.

Carroll was later arrested at Curtis Me-

New Bowdoin policy creates more parking for visitorsBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — Bowdoin College announced that visitors will have access to parking spaces previously reserved for students, faculty and staff in locations that are more central to the campus.

According to the Bowdoin Daily Sun, the new spots include the Russwurm House lot, reserved for general visitors; the Burton-Little House, lot reserved for admissions visitors; and the Coffin Street lot, reserved for faculty, staff and visitors during the day.

Students, staff and faculty who previ-ously used these spots will now park in other lots that are within walking distance

morial Library, where police found him with the stolen laptop, Hagan said.

“Eventually he ad-mitted to a series of car breaks (while be-ing held),” Hagan said.

Lt. Michael Moody said there have been 60 reported cases of burglaries in Bruns-wick since June, and a majority of the cases involved cars as the primary target.

Police have been able to connect Carroll with at least a dozen cases, Moody said, after they matched the stolen property.

“He’s suspected to have another 20,” the

lieutenant said.Moody said he estimates Carroll stole be-

tween 50-60 items – most of them consumer electronics like computers, phones and GPS devices – although he could not be specific.

While police have been able to return some of the stolen goods to their owners, the lieutenant said, it’s possible that some residents may have not even realized that their property is missing.

For that reason, Moody said people should check to see if all of their belong-

ings are accounted for. If not, they should contact the Police Department.

Carroll was arrested on charges of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer, burglary, possession or transfer of burglar’s tools, criminal mischief and sale and use of drug paraphernalia.

Carroll is being held at Cumberland County Jail.

FREEPORT — Arts Are Elementary will continue to send artists into Bruns-wick elementary school classrooms to provide enriching arts experiences after the nonprofit received a $7,500 grant from the Quimby Family Foundation, the group’s executive director, Kristi Hatrick, said Monday.

The Brunswick organization was one of 68 nonprofits in Maine that was awarded some of almost $1.3 million in grant money at the foundation’s eighth annual luncheon on Aug. 24.

“This was the first time we applied, and it was a fantastic process,” said Hatrick, who added that the grant represented a rather large chunk of the nonprofit’s $40,000 annual budget.

The celebratory tone at the Freeport

event, held at the Harraseeket Inn, repre-sented a change for philanthropist Rox-anne Quimby and her family compared to just three days earlier, when the Penobscot County commissioners became the latest government officials to line up against Quimby’s proposed Maine Woods Na-tional Park in the Katahdin region.

Dan O’Leary, CEO of both the Qui-mby Family Foundation and the affili-ated Elliotsville Plantation – the Quimby organization focused on establishing the 70,000-acre national park – acknowledged that Quimby most often appears in the news because of the proposed park, which some politicians and locals have opposed, saying it would infringe on the region’s traditional economic and recreational uses, including logging, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing.

O’Leary said he preferred not to answer questions about the park. Rather, Friday’s event was focused on the work being done by grant awardees, he said.

“This year, for the first time, we were able to visit all 84 grant finalists,” O’Leary said, noting that nearly 300 organizations applied during this eighth wave of annual foundation awards. “The board agonized over these decisions.

“It really makes you proud to be part of Maine (to see the work being done by all the grant applicants),” he continued. “The whole family, Roxanne included, is really proud this is part of their lives. These are real people doing real work because they want to make a difference.”

The former Portland Museum of Art official said the foundation’s grant awards and annual luncheon are unique in Maine because they offer personal networking opportunities between not only foundation officials and donors, but also other grant recipients. Most grant programs, he said, are administered exclusively from a dis-tance through application mailings, email and maybe follow-up telephone calls.

The Quimby Family Foundation grant program is also different because it allows its money to be used to cover operational costs, said grant recipient Jamie Silvestri of the Bath-based mobile art therapy pro-gram ArtVan.

The ArtVan was awarded $10,000 from the foundation this year, Silvestri said, and the organization, which brings after-school art programs to kids in low-income housing developments in the southern midcoast, Lewiston-Auburn and Bid-deford areas, will use the money to cover administrative costs during periods of time when the group isn’t conducting or getting paid for programs.

Those periods add up to about 10 weeks each year, she said, and typically are spent marketing the programs and planning. Sil-vestri said the grant money also will allow ArtVan to hire a fundraising and develop-ment specialist, Luanne Schoninger.

“There aren’t a lot of foundations that support operational costs,” Silvestri said. “Most foundations focus on projects.”

Andrew Goode of the Atlantic Salmon Federation’s Brunswick office said the $30,000 grant they received will allow them to work on the construction of fish-ways at Pushaw Lake near Orono along with funding the engineering and permit-ting work needed for the construction of another between the Davis and Holbrook ponds.

“The structures will help the restoration of migratory species like the alewife and Atlantic salmon,” the vice president of U.S. programs said.

This is the second time the Atlantic Salmon Federation has received a grant from the Quimby Family Foundation, Goode said, and they are still using funds from their initial $30,000 grant in 2010 for other projects.

The vice president said unlike some other grant programs, the Quimby Family Foundation’s process is more streamlined and involved, and it gives an opportunity

Topsham town manager is tops in MaineBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Town Manager Cornell Knight has been named manager of the year by his peers.

The Linc Stackpole Manager of the Year award of the Maine Town, City and County Manager’s Association was announced Aug. 22 at the Sunday River Jordan Grand Resort Hotel in Newry.

“It was quite an honor,” Knight said Monday. “I never thought I’d receive it, and it was nice to be recognized by my

peers, and nice that my family could attend, and my parents were there, and most of the department heads from Topsham, and a couple of selectmen.”

The award is named for Lincoln Stackpole, who was town man-ager in Machias from 1970 until his death in 1977. It recognizes professionalism, in-

tegrity, leadership, and the confidence and respect of the recipient’s peers.

Recipients also must demonstrate a social-ly responsible approach towards their com-munity; concern for the well-being, support and growth of their municipal colleagues, and contribution and service beyond their community of service through organiza-tions at regional, state and national levels.

Knight was nominated two managers – Bill Bridgeo of Augusta and Michael Starn of Hallowell, according to a town press release.

Knight grew up in Cape Elizabeth and started running towns right after college, beginning in Baileyville, then Hallowell in the 1980s, followed by seven years in Jay and 12 in Winthrop prior to becoming Top-sham’s manager in February 2011.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Reflections on summer, visitors, and veteransThere are so many reasons to savor the Maine sum-

mer. The stunning weather, the native produce, the late-afternoon light all combine with a slower pace of daily life that enables us to enjoy these blessings, if we are truly fortunate, with family and dear friends.

Inevitably, though, at some point in August, after you’ve spent the day in the garden or down at the boat, after you’ve returned from the woods or hosed off from the beach, you’ll be sitting on your deck when something in the air tells you it will soon be fall. Oh, there will be hot days to come, and there’s no need to panic, but we’ve all felt it – that little blast of un-characteristically cold air, a weird gust of wind that pulls unsuspecting leaves from the branches. That’s when we know it’s com-ing, when the mind’s eye begins to see the gray clouds, the rain coming down sideways and, before long, the white stuff.

Some may not be entirely sorry to see the summer pass, for by this point, the pedestrian traffic, the con-gestion downtown, the lack of parking, the occasional

inconsiderate visitor can all become a bit tedious. A few locals have even been heard to grumble something about “getting our town back” after Labor Day.

But it’s really just talk, of course. Maine people need visitors, and visitors need Maine. The truth is we’ve managed to work things out over the past century or so, and none of us has much desire to change anything, so this is the way it will stay, I expect, and that’s good.

In fact, if you’ve lived here a while, perhaps you’ve been fortunate enough to form friendships with some folks that summer in Maine every year, either as part of family tradition or because they just can’t imagine life without Maine.

If you’re particularly fortunate, you make friends like Huss and Jane Malik.

Huss and Jane come back to Maine every summer from Florida. Jane has deep roots here, and Huss rel-ishes the scenery as he rides his bicycle through South Portland in the early mornings. That’s how we met, in fact, many years ago. A chat at a traffic light, a water break on my jogging route. It wasn’t long before we began to visit over coffee and to talk about the truly important things in life.

Huss has done many things, from teaching at universi-ties to career counseling to working in state government, but what comes through most clearly in our conversa-tions are his compassion and his strong pacifist streak. A military veteran, Huss has no use for armed conflict and mourns the waste of life and treasure on seemingly

endless disputes beyond resolution or understanding.So when Huss and Jane’s son Joey enlisted in the U.S.

Army at age 39, Huss was anything but enthusiastic. But Joey felt the need to serve, and his family needed the health-care benefits. He rose through the ranks, was deployed to the Horn of Africa and, as an example to his younger brethren, volunteered for a 100-mile exercise through the desert in Djibouti.

Six miles from the end, Joey was overcome by the 115 degree heat and passed out. Aspirating sand and his own vomit, he was unconscious and without oxygen for critical minutes before his squad leader came upon him, intubated him and managed to stabilize him. Near death and with a core body temperature of 107 degrees, however, his prospects were bleak.

What followed next is both heroic and maddening; the remarkable medical expertise and dedication that brought Joey back to life – and full function – alongside the exasperating bureaucracy of military medical care.

For Huss and Jane, however, the traumatic episode has been both instructive and something of a miracle. From the moment Joey was stricken, the military dem-onstrated exceptional concern for the family. He was airlifted from Djibouti on a Learjet to Germany, stabi-lized and flown to the U.S.; Huss and Jane were then flown from Florida to San Antonio, Texas, where they were met at the airport, taken to a hotel, and squired about by a sergeant who put himself at their disposal, 24/7.

The Army paid for everything – hotels, flights, ex-penses, per diem, even parking and mileage – and it did the same for Joey’s wife – so that Joey could have the support of his family.

“There are good people out there,” Huss noted, de-spite his opposition to conflict . "I’ve never seen devo-tion and compassion like I experienced.”

And that’s when he tears up.Summers come and go, as do summer visitors. Our

lives intersect for a time, and then we move on to the next season. Along the way, if we are wise, we pause long enough to appreciate the better parts of human nature.

In a perfect world, there’d be no need for troops in faraway places, risking their lives fighting shadowy enemies. In a perfect world, we’d spend more time cultivating friendships than we would in battle or in recovery rooms.

Yet even in this world, we can strive to appreciate the friendships we have, especially here in this special place, that we fortunate few are blessed to enjoy all the year round.

Beem is the conservative movement’s best friend

Bravo Zulu Mr. Beem, mission accomplished. (Please excuse the military reference.) You met your primary objective of using inflammatory language to incite people to talk about your column and entrench your spot in The Forecaster. Additionally, you were able to once again solidify the position of the far left by attacking those you disagree with, mocking the military and attempting to di-vide the country along any lines you can. I understand that your column was supposed to be “tongue in cheek” and the conservative stereotypes you threw out were supposed to make those on the left giggle with delight, but it mostly serves your primary purpose, to divide.

As a member of the military, I went through about four emotions in 10 seconds as I read your column. Anger, then disgust, then forgiveness, then pride. The pride stood out the most. I once again realized that my service, Mr. Sum-mers’ service and Mr. Tyll’s service as well as the service of countless others has enabled you to exercise that beloved First Amendment funda-mental freedom you enjoy. Mocking the military, even in a satirical column, serves no purpose but to show what a small-minded, unappreciative America hater you really are.

You serve to shift the far left agenda ever-further to the left. You succeed in alienating more and more folks in the middle, thus pushing them to the right of center. Keep up the good work Mr. Beem, you are unknowingly the MVP of the Conservative cause.

Beem needs a lesson in lacrosse history

As a coach of both boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, I found Edgar Allen Beem's labeling of lacrosse rules as “sexist nonsense” harsh and historically inaccurate.

Lacrosse is a Native American game that takes its name from the Jesuit priests’ (mis)interpretation of the Iroquois sticks as ecclesiastical crosiers. In the 1880s a group of barnstorming Iroquois lacrosse players toured the world. The game caught on at the tour sites, and many of those locations remain lacrosse hotbeds today. Each location “tweaked” the game and the rules. In 1890, in Scotland, at the St. Leonard’s School, the first women’s lacrosse game was played, with the participants demonstrating their own interpretation. That adaptation is the root of today’s women’s game.

Today both games thrive and both games are part of the 218 percent growth that has made lacrosse the fastest

Remove BPA from children’s food packaging

Parents worry about their children, and I am no different. As a mom, and executive director of Physicians for Social Responsibility Maine Chapter, I still worry, even though my son is college.

PSR Maine believes the current ban on bisphenol A (BPA) in baby bottles and sippy cups does not go far enough to protect the health of Maine’s chil-dren. We are working with the Alli-ance for a Clean and Healthy Maine to strengthen the rule by banning BPA

in toddler’s food and infant formula containers.The alliance had 10 jars of well-known, popular brands

of baby food from Maine retailers tested for BPA. Each of the five brands represented were found to have detectable levels of BPA, which had leached into the food from the lids of the jars.

We are concerned about the health of Maine’s children. Independent, scientific studies continue to show con-nections between BPA and learning disabilities, cancers, reproductive disorders, and now are even showing a con-nection to obesity.

PSR Maine supports this important rule change to re-move BPA from all children’s food packaging. The Maine Board of Environmental Protection will hold a public hear-ing on the rule change on Sept. 6 in Augusta.

What’s lacking in Augusta? Courage

Brunswick Superintendent of Schools Paul Perzanoski’s comments should serve as a lightning rod as to what is lacking in Augusta: courage.

It is time we begin to demand courage from all of those appointed by and supporters of Gov. Paul LePage, from those who do not have the courage to challenge LePage in

his disregard of public health regarding the BPA exposure, to his misogynist comments regarding beards on women. From those who do not have the courage to defend teachers from the bashing by LePage, who could not last one week as a teacher or has any sense what is involved in the teach-ing process. From those who do not have the courage to acknowledge that LePage’s comments comparing the IRS to the Gestapo was way over the top, instead dismissing it as “much ado about nothing.” From those who do not have the courage to admit that LePage’s comments are intended to be inflammatory, so to gain political points with those who look down upon Jews, African-Americans, minorities, women, people with disabilities, LGBT, and union workers. From those who do not have the courage to call LePage to task for claiming that all state middle-management is cor-rupt without providing any evidence.

It is time we begin to demand courage from all of those appointed by and supporters of LePage, who have more concern for their jobs or future opportunities than for the people of Maine. Their lack of action, lack of character, and lack of courage is pathetic.

Summers deserves credit for response to businesses

The Aug. 22 article, “Summers’ jobs program fails to live up to his claims of success,” seemed at best like a strained attempt to find a reason to criticize Secretary of State Charlie Summers, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Adding a small business advocate to the secretary of state’s office is only being billed as a “jobs program” by the story’s authors. To try to define its success by attributing a precise, yet unknowable, number of jobs created or saved is futile and misses the point of the initiative.

When Maine legislators toured the state shortly after the election of 2010, business leaders told them that they needed relief from burdensome regulations. They needed someone inside government who they could turn to with questions and concerns. Charlie Summers, with his experi-ence as a small-business owner and as head of the regional Small Business Administration, saw the importance of this and lobbied legislators to create the position. He made it happen without additional cost to the taxpayer and found the perfect person for the job.

The job of small business advocate is about responding to the needs of Maine’s businesses and giving them an ally in state government. The 117 cases he has received in just 10 months demonstrate a need for this position. It’s all a part of making Maine more business friendly, and that will encourage more businesses to come to, and stay in, Maine. My friend and neighbor, Charlie Summers, deserves a lot of the credit for this success.

Rep. Amy Volk, Scarborough

growing sport in our country over the past decade. I agree with the assertion that men and women could and should play the same sport. I disagree with Beem's assertion that the reason the men and women play by different rules is sexism; the two sports just evolved differently. Also, Beem’s suggestion that the women should play the men’s game seems to me to be inherently sexist. Any discussion of combining the two sports should include having the men adapt the women’s game. Personally, I think the answer lies in combining the best of both sports.

The dating ‘situation’Something is amiss in the wonderful world of mid-

life dating.It seems more and more often, friends and acquain-

tances refer to a dating connection as a “situa-tion.” As in, “the Greg situation,” or “the Enrique situation,” or – if it’s under deep scrutiny and being analyzed on a daily or weekly basis – merely shortened to initials: “the R situation.”

The word “situation” implies that something is not working quite as effortlessly as one would hope. When things are proceeding along bliss-fully in dating-ville, you do not call it a “situation.” For instance, I never dialed up my mom from college when I was madly in love and said, “I need to discuss the Drew situation.”

A situation is unhappy. A happy dating thing is not a situation; it’s a healthy relationship. A love affair. A torrid romance.

When did our dating lives turn into a collection of situations, similar to World War II encounters requiring the strategic skills of a bunker full of generals, huddled around a 3-D map covered with toy tanks? Why do we keep anything labeled a “situation” in our lives?

I’m thinking this is mainly a female issue. Or per-haps it’s just a small-town thing. Do women in New York City have more “situations” than romances? Or is the pool of possible dating material so much more diverse that they drop a guy as soon as it becomes clear he’s crossed the line from “fun” to being pictured in the dictionary on Page 447 – next to the word “situ-ation.”

Merriam-Webster lists several definitions for “situ-ation,” but I can tell you with great certainty that if a girlfriend calls you at 11 p.m to discuss “the Floyd situation,” it falls under definition 5b: “a critical, try-

ing, or unusual state of affairs: a PROBLEM.”Perhaps I’m romanticizing the past, but did Grace

Kelly call her girlfriends to discuss “the Prince Ranier situation?”

I’m guessing not.I am, at times, as guilty of this over-analysis as any-

one. It’s like checking on the state of your IBM stock each morning upon arising.

My girlfriend texts me, “So how’s the (fill in name of your choice) situation today?” This is sweet and caring, yet also points to our probable, mutual dysfunction.

I can tell you one thing with 100 percent certainty: men do not text one another from the waiting room of their dentist’s office inquiring about the state of a buddy’s “situation.”

They might text to see whether the buddy got any action the night before. They do not text to see what today’s pulse is on “ the Tiffany situation.”

I have friends of the male persuasion, and they do not generally think in the ways of most of my female friends. The female brain possesses amazing powers

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

The GOP’s 3 R’s: Romney, Ryan, RandWe all embody contradictionsm I suppose, but Mitt

Romney’s running mate Rep. Paul Ryan,R-Wisconsin, is one big nasty knot of self-negating nonsense.

You think I’m exaggerating?Ryan, the buff busker for budget busting, is a wild-

eyed prophet of smaller government, raging in the Middle America wilder-ness against big government. Yet he has been sucking on the government teat his entire working life, first as a congressional aide and since 1999 as a congressman. Ryan is an apostle of free-market capitalism who has never worked in the free market a day in his blue-eyed, six-packed ab, cheesehead life.

Ryan makes a big whoop about being a pro-life Catholic, yet he admits that his fundamental politi-cal philosophy came from Russian atheist writer/philosopher Ayn Rand, who thought all religion was a crock of shish-kabob. In her elephantine, mind-numbing, sclerotic novels "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged," Rand worked out her fictional philosophy of Objectivism, based on the mistaken premise that egomania is what makes the world go round. Rationality is all. Now we have the irrational Religious Right going all wet and gooey over a guy whose craven idol believed everything faith-based was superstitious nonsense.

Christianity is all about forgiveness and self-sacri-fice. Conservative Christians and radical Republicans are not. So maybe the apostate Ryan can get them to come to him. Most of the conservative opposition to

President Obama is racism, so, with the scales of prej-udice already tipped far to the right, Ryan shouldn’t have a tough time getting Hale and Mary America to vote against their own best interests by jumping on the Romney-Ryan-Rand bandwagon.

In naming Ryan his vice presidential buddy, Romney made haste to try to dis-tance himself from what former Office of Management and Budget Director David Stockman – mind you, a Reagan Repub-lican – called “Ryan’s fairy tale budget.” The Ryan budget, a roadmap to riches for the few and rags for the rest, is a hate-ful document that sent both the Catholic Church and fellow Republicans howling in execration when Ryan unveiled it in all its suffer-and-die hideousness. But both Romney and Ryan believe in the virtue of selfishness, which just happens to be the title of my favorite Ayn Rand book. Screw life’s losers. Gimme, gimme, gimme! To the victors go the spoils.

Ayn Rand’s Objectivism, like L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology, is a cult that appeals to imma-ture minds because its simple-minded black-and-white principles legitimize, even celebrate, our basest human instincts. Most people outgrow such pseudo-thought when they outgrown juvenile egomania. Paul Ryan (not to be confused with Rand Paul, but, then why not? They’re the same sort of cuckoos) forgives Ayn Rand her atheism and adultery because her philosophy venerates the cutthroat capitalism that Romney embod-ies and to which Ryan aspires.

The Ryan-Rand Budget would cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans because, after all, they are better,

more important people than everyone else, and raise taxes on rest of us. It calls for privatizing Medicare and Social Security so that vulture capitalists like Ryan and Romney might skim a little off the top of human misery.

I’ll bet there will even be tea party tosspots who vote for Romney-Ryan even though their Richie Rich agenda flies in the face of free-market tea party philos-ophy. Ryan, for example, was a great champion of the Bush stimulus plan because it gave piles of tax money to his corporate cronies. He may have voted against Obama’s stimulus plan, but he was right at the head of the line begging for stimulus funds. Nasty little knots.

Forgive me for repeating myself, but we have a very clear choice in November and Romney’s selection of Ryan, a choice meant to excite the rabid republican right, makes that choice even easier. We can vote for personal gain or for the common good, for selfishness or generosity, for smug self-satisfaction or for higher aspirations, for the fortunate few or for the struggling many, for Romney-Ryan-Rand or for something better.

I want something better.• • •

In a recent column I mistakenly identified the late state Sen. Roger V. Snow of Falmouth as a Republican. Snow was my first boss back at the American Journal in 1965. I should have known he was a Democrat. I guess the bow ties threw me off. I regret any pain and suffering my mistake may have caused the Snow family.

of analysis, and many women tend to analyze things to death. We may try to stop ourselves, but speaking from personal experience, I admit that it’s sometimes nearly impossible.

Which may be part of the reason that in dating, things can transition from “fun” to “situation” in the time it takes to put on new toenail polish.

Now please do not bother writing to tell me a brain

is a brain, and that men and women are exactly the same. I am not an anthropologist, sociologist, scientist or therapist of any variety. But I am here to tell you, we are not the same. And I will defend that opinion to the death.

When I was approximately 15, I recall my lovely mother, Louise, adamantly declaring that men’s and women’s brains didn’t operate in quite the same way. Not yet mature enough to understand that “different” does not mean “not as good as,” I also remember roll-ing my eyes, thinking, “You have no idea what you’re talking about. We’re equal!”

Of course, a few decades, one marriage, one dead husband and hundreds of dates later, I feel the need to offer up a public apology to my mother, and defer to her obvious wisdom.

The situation seems to be this: if you are analyzing more than having fun while dating someone, it’s prob-ably time to change the, ummm, situation.

Elizabeth Menzies Stenberg, 75: passionate about antiques, volunteerismBRUNSWICK — Elizabeth Menzies

Stenberg, 75, died Aug. 19 at her home in Brunswick after an 18-month battle with cancer.

Stenberg was born in Boston on Oct. 22, 1936 to Mildred and James Menzies. She grew up in Cambridge, Mass., where her father was a printer at Har-vard University Press.

Stenberg attended Tufts University as an occupational ther-apy student for three years. While there, she met John Stenberg, and after graduat-ing, they were married on June 16, 1957. They honeymooned at the Tufts Mountain Club lodge near Plymouth, N.H.

After the couple moved to Groton, Conn., their first child, Kristen, was born in 1958. Their second child, Jeffrey, was born a year later. The family moved to Nashua, N.H., in 1960 and a third child, James, was born in 1962.

Stenberg went back to college and earned her degree in early childhood education in 1975 from Fitchburg State College. But in 1976, she and her hus-band decided to quit their “real jobs” and buy a small hardware store in Cornish. Stenberg was responsible for keeping the store running efficiently and helping her husband manage the business. She en-joyed helping customers select products, especially in the store's gardening and decorating sections. Stenberg became a licensed realtor in New Hampshire during this time as well.

After the sale of the hardware store to a local family in 1985, Stenberg started an antiques business known as Black Cat Antiques and frequently traveled throughout New England and as far away as Kentucky on buying trips. She was well-known for her unique offerings of folk art, textiles and primitive works, which she sold in group shops and at weekend shows.

In 1994 the couple decided to leave their

beloved lake house for a more suburban life in Cumberland. Stenberg returned to the real estate business full-time with Barbara Horton Real Estate. She also took up the hobby of rubber stamping and soon began working and teaching at a local craft store. In 1999, the couple moved to Falmouth Foreside and Stenberg began volunteering at the Portland branch of the American Red Cross. In 2009, they moved to the Thornton Oaks Retirement Community in Brunswick.

Stenberg was passionate about antiques and old houses throughout her life and especially loved to decorate her home with her finds. Her family recollects the almost continuous arrangement and re-arrangement of furniture, paintings and rugs. Her other hobbies included handcrafts, sewing the family’s clothes, braiding and hooking rugs, rubber stamp-ing and assembling jigsaw puzzles.

She always had a soft spot for animals, especially her adopted beagle, Lucy, and a husky mix named Sweet Girl, both

of whom gave her much joy. She loved spending time with her family and friends.

Stenberg is survived by her husband, John Stenberg; three children, Kristen Rozenberg, of Sutton, Mass., Jeffrey Alan Stenberg, of Southwick, and James Til-eston Stenberg, of Portland; her brother, Kenneth Menzies, of Framingham, Mass.; and her six grandchildren.

A memorial reception was held at Thornton Oaks in Brunswick Aug. 23. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Animal Ref-uge League of Greater Portland or the American Red Cross of Southern Maine. Arrangements are under the direction and care of Brackett Funeral Home, Brunswick.

Kenneth A. Staples, 71BRUNSWICK — Kenneth A. Staples,

71, died Aug. 22 at Maine Medical Cen-ter in Portland.

He was born in Brunswick on July 4, 1941, the son of Hyrum and Virginia Bamforth Staples. Sta-ples was raised by his grandparents, George and Ruth Bamforth. He attended Bruns-wick schools and was a 1960 graduate of Brunswick High School. Staples earned an associate’s degree in marine biology from Southern Maine Vocational Institute. For several years he worked at Brunswick Manufacturing.

On Dec. 17, 1974, he married the for-mer Phyllis Raye Anderson.

Staples retired from the Brunswick Recreation Department after 20 years of service. He then worked as a part-time driver for Car Quest in Brunswick until retiring in November 2011.

Staples demonstrated a strong willing-ness to help others, especially when help was needed most. He enjoyed solving crossword puzzles and eating Mike & Ike candy by the bagfuls. An avid reader, he also enjoyed books by Thomas Clancy, Stephen King and John Grisham.

Staples is survived by his wife, of Brunswick; two sons, Jason R. Wilkins of Portland and Darren J. Wilkins of Palmyra, Va.; two granddaughters, Ryan and Lexi Wilkins; a sister, Sharon Staples; a brother, Bob Staples, of West Palm Beach, Fla.; and several nieces and nephews.

Staples is predeceased by a brother, Bill Staples.

A funeral service was held Aug. 26 at Stetson’s Funeral Home in Brunswick with the Rev. Ronald McLaughlin of-ficiating. Memorial donations may be made to the Coastal Humane Society, 30 Range Road, Brunswick, ME 04011. Memorial condolences may be expressed at stetsonsfuneralhome.com.

Joseph “Joe” Hickey, 92BRUNSWICK — Joseph “Joe” Hickey,

92, died Aug. 21 in Brunswick. He was born in Binghamton, N.Y., to Cornelius E. Hickey and Jennie Murphy Hickey.

Hickey’s early years were spent on his fam-ily’s dairy and truck garden farm near Bar-ton, N.Y. His education began in a one-room schoolhouse. Inspired by his older brother, Bob, he worked hard to excel in school. After graduating from Elmira (N.Y.) South Side High School, he attended Cornell Uni-versity in Ithaca, N.Y., where he received a bachelor's degree from the School of Agriculture in 1943. It was during his time at Cornell that he met his wife, Ethel. They

were married on Sept. 9, 1944, in Ithaca.Hickey served as a first lieutenant in

Europe during World War II. After the war, the couple moved to Maine where Hickey accepted a job at the University of Maine as a vegetable crop specialist. Later, he completed a master’s degree at Rutgers University and continued his work at the University of Maine. He then accepted a position at Burnham and Morrill Company in Portland, where he worked as a purchas-ing agent and agronomist for 37 years.

Hickey excelled in his field and achieved great professional satisfaction from his work. He distinguished himself by develop-ing a specialized variety of bean, the Au-rora bean, in conjunction with the Cornell School of Agriculture. During his career, he was admired for his fairness, integrity and professionalism.

The couple built a home in Falmouth and lived there for 55 years before moving to Brunswick. They raised their children in Falmouth, had many wonderful friends and enjoyed get-togethers with their neighbors at Mussel Cove.

Hickey was a lifelong Catholic and attended Holy Martyrs Church with his family. He also served as a member and chairman of the Falmouth School Board and was active in local and state political committees.

Hickey is survived by his wife of 68 years, Ethel; his son, Alan J. Hickey, and his wife, Margery Salter, of Yarmouth; his daughter, Joan Hale, and her husband, William, of Brunswick; grandchildren Bryce Hickey of Colorado Springs, Colo.,

J. Roland Bouchard, 82BRUNSWICK — J. Roland Bouchard,

82, died Aug. 22. Bouchard was born in Brunswick on May 15, 1930, the son of Edward and Rebecca (Coulombe) Bouchard.

Bouchard grew up in Brunswick, gradu-ating from Brunswick High School, class of 1948. Following high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He served for four years until he was wounded in Korea, fighting on the Chinese front line. Upon his return home, Bouchard attended Boston University, graduating with the class of 1956.

Bouchard’s command of the English language served him well, landing him a newsletter editorial position with the Massachusetts Motor Truck Association, where he stayed for 11 years. Later, his love of adventure took him to Saudi Ara-bia. There he performed data entry for a joint venture between Army and U.S. Air Force engineers to design and build King Khalid Military City. When the project was completed in the mid-'80s, Bouchard stayed on as an office manager. He returned to Brunswick in 1995.

He was a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus and a communicant of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church of All Saints Parish in Brunswick. In addition, Bouchard was a volunteer at Parkview Adventist Medical Center for

By Scott AndrewsThe mums are blooming, pine spills

are spilling and ferns are turning brown. Those are Mother Nature’s certain signs that summer’s end is nigh.

Maine’s arts and entertainment calendar has similar signs, with the most prominent being the annual Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Brunswick, which has been a fixture of Labor Day weekends for decades.

This year’s edition is headlined by frequent visitors from Missouri: Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. Plus there are about two dozen other artists and bands who hail from all over the U.S. and all over Maine.

Bluegrass singer-songwriter Dolly Par-ton wrote the score to “9 to 5,” the Broad-way musical that just opened at Ogunquit Playhouse. Based on the 1980 movie of the same name, Ogunquit has scored the Maine premiere. Go see it; “9 to 5” is re-ally a hoot, and a very tuneful one.

Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival

A national reputation, major-label re-cording contract and oodles of talent aren’t enough to score a spot on the stage at the Thomas Point Bluegrass Festival. Artists must score high on the people factor too.

That’s according to the producer, Pati Crooker. As the driving force behind one of the Northeast’s biggest, most prominent and longest-established bluegrass festivals, Crooker has a vast choice of artists who vie for a spot on the Thomas Point Beach stage.

Video clips, demo tapes, flash drives, CDs and media kits start piling up in her office more than a year in advance, and Crooker herself often travels to the big national conventions and showcases.

Crooker demands more than basic talent. She wants bands that can do more than pick and sing with the best. She wants art-ists with outgoing personalities who relate to audiences both on and off the stage. “I love it when the audience can connect with bands,” she said.

Topnotch performance is essential, but Crooker said a positive people factor is equally a must-have: “Their talent has to be right up there — they have to be one of the best — but for me the bottom line is how they act offstage among the people. It’s the people performance that’s more important.”

No bluegrass artist personifies this paradigm better than Rhonda Vincent, this Saturday’s headliner. I’ve seen her often in the past, both at Thomas Point Beach and elsewhere, and recall that Vincent’s off-stage personality — and seemingly endless willingness to sign autographs, chat and pose for photos with her legions of fans — perfectly jibes with Crooker’s ideal artist.

An accomplished mandolinist, guitar-ist, fiddler and vocalist who hails from Missouri, Vincent grew up with bluegrass in her blood; she made her first national appearances with her family’s Sally Moun-tain Show as a five-year-old and she still appears with this group occasionally.

Vincent turned 50 last month, just about the same time that she released her lat-est CD, a traditional collection of gospel tunes called “Sunday Mornin’ Singin’.” Among her scores of honors, Vincent is a seven-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year honor, and the Society

for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America handed her its Entertainer of the Year award from 2001-2006.

And she travels with a case of road rage. Her road band, impishly titled The Rage, also boasts a trophy case of SPBMA hon-ors, including three instrumental awards in 2006.

Vincent and The Rage travel around the country in the iconic blue-and-white motorcoach owned by the Martha White Flour Company. Vincent was chosen as spokeswoman by the company because she’s an exemplar of a modern woman who epitomizes traditional American values.

Vincent is tops among the two dozen art-ists and bands who are slated to perform. Friday’s headliner includes brother Darrin Vincent, who’s half of Dailey & Vincent, a Nashville-based duo that has charted five albums on Billboard and took home six awards at the most recent convention of the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America.

Other top national acts include the Gibson Brothers, Leroy Troy and the Ten-nessee Mafia Jug Band and the Lonesome River Band. Della Mae, an all-female five-some from Massachusetts has been making big waves in recent years. Snap Jackson and the Knock on Wood Players have come the farthest — from California. Acoustic Heartstrings hails from Canada.

The Pine Tree State is represented by Back to Basics, Evergreen and the Katah-din Valley Boys.

As with all alfresco music festivals, bring low-backed lawn chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. Thomas Point Beach’s choice of food vendors is always outstanding.

The festival runs day and night Friday through Sunday evening at the 85-acre Thomas Point Beach campground, a mile off Route 24 near Cook’s Corner in Bruns-wick. Tickets options include one-evening, all-day and all-festival passes with camp-ing options. Call 877-TPB-4321 or go to thomaspointbeach.com on the web.

‘9 to 5’It’s not often that bluegrass and country

music artists reach Broadway, but Dolly Parton is a notable exception.

Although best known for her long career in records — more than 60 albums since the mid-1960s — and live concerts, Par-ton wrote the score for “9 to 5,” the 2009 Broadway musical that’s based on the 1980 movie of the same name. The “9 to 5” film

was a phenomenal hit and still ranks among Hollywood’s top-grossing comedies.

A wonderful production of the stage mu-sical version of “9 to 5” opened last week at Ogunquit Playhouse. Go see “9 to 5”; it’s a hoot. The book, by Patricia Resnick, fairly closely parallels the movie script, plus Parton wrote a slew of additional songs, several of which have become hits outside their stage contexts.

Starring Becky Gulsvig in the Dolly Par-ton role, Ogunquit Playhouse’s “9 to 5” is a tuneful and raucously funny show — an absolute archetype of American musical comedy.

The story line revolves around three women in an office who plot revenge on their boss, a sleazy, self-centered, lecher-ous, lying misogynist-malefactor. Gulsvig is joined by two co-workers, Carrie Mc-Nulty playing an office veteran, and Erica Aubrey portraying the newbie in the secre-tarial pool. Sally Struthers has a wonderful role as the bad guy’s right-hand woman, a sex-starved gossip and eavesdropper who earns more than her share of laughs.

Parton’s new songs are outstanding, and include “Backwoods Barbie,” for Gulsvig, “One of the Boys,” for McNulty and “Get Out and Stay Out,” for Aubrey. Struthers’ big song is “Heart to Hart,” which also includes an exceptionally funny comedy scene.

Ogunquit Playhouse, a mile south of the village on Rt. 1, presents “9 to 5” through Sept. 15. Call 646-5511 or visit ogunquit-playhouse.org.

Perzanoskifrom page 1


“I will certainly listen to what they have to say,” Perzanoski said Wednesday.

The superintendent’s welcome letter, which was sent to School Department staff on Aug. 17, created controversy because of the tone used to criticize LeP-age’s education policy.

“Our illustrious Governor has been in the news again, singing the praises of public education,” Perzanoski sarcasti-cally wrote. “The legislators passed new laws on bullying this spring but they failed to include the Blaine House. Re-mediation is on the governor’s mind and I agree, he needs remediation in civility, public speaking, telling the truth, diplo-macy and following the law. I think we should challenge him to take the SAT and then make the results public.”

Perzanoski’s letter criticized the gov-ernor’s efforts to allow public funding of private and religious schools – an effort that most recently failed in the Legisla-ture. But the superintendent also offered a deal to “equal the playing field.”

“It may be time to stop fighting and give them what they want under the fol-lowing conditions: every school must hire certified, high quality teachers; ev-ery school must accept all students who register; every student must be part of the statewide assessment; every school must follow state and federal mandates,” Perzanoski wrote.

Adrienne Bennett, the governor’s spokeswoman, called Perzanoski’s comments “wildly inappropriate” and “defamatory.”

“A welcome back to school letter to employees should focus on what’s best for students and teachers, and how to provide a quality education,” Bennett said in a press release. “Instead, this superintendent decided that taxpayer dol-lars were best used to personally attack the Governor.”

Perzanoski on Wednesday said the let-ter didn’t “happen in a vacuum,” adding that he received support from educators who are facing similar problems in other states.

Earlier in February, the Department of Education announced Brunswick would receive $1.2 million less for its annual state education subsidy than last year – a reduction that was, in part, caused by declining enrollment due to the closure of the Brunswick Naval Air Station.

The superintendent said the state and federal governments haven’t followed through with promises they made to public schools.

For example, Perzanoski said, when the Education for All Handicapped Chil-dren Act was passed in 1975, Congress “promised to pay” for 40 percent of the costs associated with students who have disabilities. But the federal government has never paid close to what it originally promised, he said.

“I just want them to fulfill their prom-ises,” Perzanoski said.

At least two School Board members agreed with the substance of the super-intendent’s letter.

“I think it was about time that an educator spoke out against the unwar-ranted abuse the governor has heaped on Maine’s educational system,” Michelle Small, a board member at large, wrote in an e-mail. “Because socioeconomic status is the greatest determinant of suc-cess in school, I think that the best thing the governor could do for the schools is to bring a halt to his war on the poor.”

Brenda Clough, a School Board mem-ber from the town’s 2nd District, said Perzanoski’s letter was not political and instead focused on the reality of the state education system.

“The purpose of the letter was to be a welcome back to school letter. He wasn’t making any political statements. He was stating the reality: here’s what’s happen-ing at the state level,” Clough said.

Matt Corey, who represents the 3rd District on the board, said that while he understands Perzanoski’s frustration with LePage, “the tone and tenor could have been better.”

However, Corey said, there are more important things for the School Depart-ment to do.

“The reality is we have a lot of bigger issues to face in Brunswick,” he said.

For instance, plans for major renova-tions at Coffin School and Brunswick Junior High School will go to referendum next year, and the elementary schools will use a new math program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

Despite the reaction to his statement last week – while he was supposed to be on vacation, no less – Perzanoski said he hopes his letter will have some positive consequences for the schools.

“No one likes to live with this much attention, but sometimes it’s necessary for a short amount of time,” the superin-tendent said. “I’m not going to lose my voice for public education and the people that work for it.”

Air Showfrom page 1


actually, they are different,” Simonse said. “But this gives them an opportunity, de-spite what handicaps they have, because they are 100 percent disabled, they get an opportunity to feel normal.”

Simonse is a registered Maine guide with the nonprofit, which was founded by a mother and father of a soldier who died in Iraq in 2007. The Vietnam veteran had just finished a moose hunt with five veterans the week before the air show.

This week, he will guide four women veterans, two of whom want to get their own moose and bear. Simonse said his Amvets post donated $10,000 to the hunt.

During the air show, Simonse spent some of his time talking to another group that plays a hand in the enrichment of veterans’ lives: the Department of Veter-

ans Affairs. Representatives from the de-partment’s readjustment and counseling program for combat veterans and their families, Vet Center, were also present.

Jim Doherty, a spokesman who was there for the Department of Veterans Af-fairs, said that sometimes veterans face another stigma: seeking help and getting the benefits they’re entitled to.

“Some of them are under the impres-sion that if they take some benefits, they are taking something away from somebody else, and it’s not that way at all,”said Doherty, who served in the Navy from 1972 to 2002. “What I try to tell them is ‘you’re not eating someone else’s lunch.’ There’s enough lunch for everyone.”

On Saturday alone, Doherty said he

talked to at least 75 veterans who had questions about veteran benefits.

“It’s not like we can take so many a year. We especially see this with some of the older vets,” Doherty said. “We’re not interested in getting by. We’re interesting in giving them what they’re entitled to.”

Doherty spent most of the weekend at the air show in front of a large van for Vet Center. The program has 300 centers across the U.S. including five locations in Maine.

Recent reports from the U.S. Army found that the number of soldiers who committed suicide this year rose greatly from last year. 116 active-duty soldiers have been reported to take their own lives so far this year.

In June, the National Alliance on Men-tal Health released a report that found the stigma to seek mental help is still high among service members.

Eric Etsy, an outreach specialist who was there for Vet Center, said this is why programs like his have learned how to become more proactive with outreach.

“I think ‘proactive’ is the key word,” Etsy said.

But despite the reported stigma, Etsy said he and his representatives were kept busy “back-to-back” this past weekend at the Maine air show, constantly engaging veterans or family members.

For Randall Simonse, this is a sign of the changing times.

“You know the Vietnam Veterans of America have a wonderful slogan, and that is ‘never again will one generation of veterans turn its back on another,’” Simonse said.

Police stationfrom page 1


town planner said, because the proposed site is in a historic zone and the proposed plans must maintain the character of the surroundings.

Brett Donham of Donham & Sweeney Architects, the firm selected by the Police Station Planning Committee to design the building, presented a series of sketches, drawings and photos at Tuesday night’s meeting to assure board members that the new police station would maintain the historical feel of the zone – even though

some of the surrounding buildings, like a Cumberland Farms gas station, do not.

Donham presented photos of the Curtis Memorial Library, the U.S. Post Office on Pleasant Street and the for-mer Longfellow School on Longfellow Avenue as positive examples to emulate.

“These three buildings constitute the desriable standard for the surroundings,” Donham said.

Board member Janet Roberts ques-tioned the signs proposed for the new police station. She said current plans would make it almost exclusively visible from the wrong way of Pleasant Street,

which becomes a one-way street at the police station’s proposed location.

“If you drive the wrong way down Pleasant Street, you’ll see where it is,” Donham noted.

The architect said he would take the observation into consideration, but he also offered that the presented plans were not final.

Stemming from Roberts’ observation about the signage, Ed Knox, a member of the Police Station Planning Com-

mittee, said the town should consider implementing a sign that would better help direct visitors driving up Pleasant to the downtown area on Maine Street.

“I think that’s a very interesting obser-vation. It’s hard to know whether you’re going left, right or straight ahead,” Don-ham said.

In response, board member Elizabeth Marr suggested that the idea should be brought up in the next meeting for the Master Plan Implementation Committee.
