Yarmouth library trustees eye needs, possible $1M bondBy David Harry

YARMOUTH — The space – and money – aren’t yet avail-able, but Merrill Memorial Library trustees have a $1.4 mil-lion vision in mind for the future of the 107-year-old building.

That is a preliminary estimate for a top-down project presented in a Town Council workshop last month by Gro Flatebo, a

Bus backers cry foul over petition to kill serviceBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — Residents who support the Falmouth Flyer claim an opponent of the bus service is using questionable tac-tics to collect petition signatures.

The petition, which would lead to a vote to end the service, is being circulated by resident

Michael Doyle, a frequent critic of town government and spend-ing.

METRO service between Portland and Falmouth, which costs the town more than $100,000 a year, began in 2004. Since then the cost of the service has frequently been a

source of contention and there have been repeated attempts to reduce or eliminate the bus. The town’s contract with the Greater Portland Transit District was renewed by the Town Council last November.

Doyle’s petition, if success-ful, would force a November

referendum that if approved would require Falmouth to end its contract with METRO, ef-fective Dec. 31, 2013. It would prevent the town from providing further financial support to the bus service, except as required to repay its debts.

The language of the petition

is not under fire from Doyle’s opponents. But they claim there are problems with the way the petition is being promoted.

Residents said the signature collector is providing conflict-ing descriptions of the intent of

vice president of the library board of trustees.

“I look at it is as a puzzle,” Flatebo said about plans that begin with renovations of the third floor, now the home of the Yarmouth Historical Society.

The first piece of the puzzle requires the historical society to move to its East Elm Street museum, where ground was

broken last month. Most of the society’s collection of artifacts and documents may be moved by the end of November.

Town Meeting OKs Yarmouth budget ahead of referendumBy David Harry

YARMOUTH — In most instances Tuesday night, it took moderator Horace Horton lon-ger to read the Town Meeting warrant articles than it did for residents to pass them.

With about 125 people at-tending the meeting at Harrison Middle School, voters gave initial approval to a nearly $20.2 million school budget for fiscal year 2013, and fully approved more than $11 million in mu-nicipal spending and the town’s share of Cumberland County operations.

The school budget faces a faces a yes-or-no vote in a referendum next Tuesday, June 12. Voters will also decide Town Council, Yarmouth Water District and School Committee elections. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Robert Boyd AMVETS Hall at 148 North Road.

Warrant Articles 2 through 29 passed by a show of hands and without comment, except for the 114-9 passage of Article 16 by secret ballot.

The article asked residents to approve spending $4.65 million more for local education than recommended by the Essential Services and Programs model provided by the Maine Depart-ment of Education.

Maine women take concerns about chemicals to D.C.By Alex Lear

PORTLAND — Concern over chemi-cals in products and foods prompted about two dozen Maine women to get on a bus recently and take their cause to Washington, D.C.

The bus left Maine the morning of May 21, collecting other women along the way in other New England states to join a “Safe Chemicals Brigade” on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol the next morning. They rallied to support the Safe Chemicals Act, which the U.S. Senate is considering.

“We were the biggest of any state,” said Helen Anderson of Portland, an environ-mental advocate and grandmother who joined the group of mothers, educators and health-care workers. “Of all the 31

Helen Anderson, left, of Portland, and Lalla Carothers, of Cumberland, were among a contigent of Maine women who traveled to

Washington, D.C., this month to rally for the Safe Chemicals Act.

states (that participated), Maine was by far the biggest.”

The group lobbied Maine’s Congres-sional delegation and brought 2,500 mes-sages of support, as well as a resolution by the state Legislature urging action from Congress.

Lalla Carothers of Cumberland, one of the bus-going activists, serves on the board of the Environmental Health Strat-egy Center. That nonprofit organization, formed to try to block toxic chemicals from everyday products, is one of 50 organizations brought together by the Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine. The alliance, which sponsored the trip to Washington, tries to find safer alterna-tives to dangerous chemicals.

“Chemicals have a purpose,” Carothers acknowledged last week. “We’re not ask-ing anybody to ban all chemicals. I think it’s to prove that they’re safe before they go into a consumer market, and particu-larly things for children, and things for the vulnerable.”

Carothers, who has also served on the Cumberland Congregational Church’s “Green Team,” called the trip inspiring. She said participants met with U.S. Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both R-Maine, as well as staff of U.S. Reps. Michael Michaud and Chellie Pingree, both D-Maine.

Carothers said she told them how some girls use lotions and nail polish contain-

ing chemicals that disrupt hormones, while another woman talked about her autistic son, and how she was exposed to toxic chemicals during pregnancy.

“Dangerous chemicals abound, from flame retardant in nursing pillows to BPA (bishphenol A) in epoxy sealants meant to protect our kids’ teeth,” she said after her trip. “We can’t shop our way out of this. We must shift the burden of proof from assuming a chemical is safe until proven harmful to requiring evidence a chemical is safe before selling it to consumers.”

According to the website of U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who intro-

duced the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011, the legislation is meant to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, which the site calls “an antiquated law that in its current form leaves the health of families and the environment at risk.”

Carothers said “both of our senators and our representatives acknowledged that this is a broken law, that (the act) is not working. ... It doesn’t have much weight. For example, asbestos, under (the act), you can’t ban it.”

Anderson, who volunteers with the Environmental Health Strategy Center, said only about 200 of 84,000 synthetic chemicals found in products people use daily have ever undergone safety tests by the EPA.

“Right now, they don’t test chemicals,” she said last week. “It’s considered harm-less, (and) you can put it on the market until proven otherwise. In other words, people start getting sick.”

Anderson said after her trip that “pass-ing the Safe Chemicals Act would ensure that many more chemicals are tested. It would help prevent asthma, cancer, birth defects and neurological disorders, and even help protect wildlife from contami-

Council enacts new road rulesCUMBERLAND — The Town Council

unanimously enacted a new road accep-tance ordinance Monday evening.

The ordinance was prompted by the expense of maintaining and improving the town's existing roads. That burden caused the council to investigate options to limit the number of new public roads it will ac-cept.

The ordinance stipulates that private roads, which have been built to the town's subdivision ordinance standards, must have 75 percent occupancy, or at least 75 percent of homes on those roads must have occu-pancy permits, in order to be accepted as public roads, according to Town Manager

Chebeague Island Town Meeting to vote on $2.9M budgetBy Alex Lear

CHEBEAGUE ISLAND — Residents will vote on a $2.88 million combined town and school budget Saturday at Town Meeting.

If approved, the town side of the fiscal 2013 spending plan would be $1.96 mil-lion, a decrease of $5,000 from the current year, Town Administrator Eric Dyer said last week.

The budget includes a new part-time

3 House candidates in Freeport-Pownal Democratic primaryBy Alex Lear

administrative bookkeeper position that will serve both the town and school. The town will fund $9,000 of that position, while another $3,000 will come from the school budget.

"We've been working with a certain staff configuration," Dyer said, "and talking with our auditors, it makes sense for us to

separate some of the responsibilities of the financial management in order to provide more internal controls ... and more accuracy and reliability in how we process accounts payable and receivables."

Chebeague's tax rate of $19.95 per $1,000 of property valuation could increase by 1.5 percent, Dyer said. That depends on how much the town assessor budgets for overlay – buffer funds in case of unantici-pated expenses, he explained. The rate was

$19.80 in fiscal 2011; in 2008, the town's first fiscal year after its secession from Cumberland, the rate was $20.49.

The fiscal 2012 school budget of nearly $886,000 could see a total increase of 3.6 percent, to nearly $919,000. But more money is being carried forward from the undesignated fund balance than was used in fiscal 2012 – nearly $118,000 instead of $74,500 – to offset that increase.

The Freeport-Pownal legislative district is the only one in the area with a contested primary.

The Democratic primary winner will face Republican Benjamin Martin, who is unop-posed in his party's primary, in the Nov. 6 general election.

The three Democrats are Town Council Vice Chairwoman Sara Gideon, former state Office of Policy and Legal Analysis Director Patrick Norton, and social worker Melanie Sachs.

The winner of the general election will replace Rep. David Webster, D-Freeport,

who cannot seek a fifth term because of term limits.

Freeport voters will also be asked to approve the entire $24.9 million Regional School Unit 5 budget. No municipal or School Board seats are on the ballot.

Several other towns have contested mu-nicipal elections, including Cumberland, Falmouth, North Yarmouth and Yarmouth.

CumberlandKaren Campbell faces a challenge from

former Town Councilor Jeff Porter in her campaign for a second term on the School Administrative District 51 Board of Direc-tors. Cumberland and North Yarmouth voters will also vote on a $30.4 million school budget.

Three Town Council races are uncon-tested on June 12. Incumbents Shirley Storey-King of Shirley Lane, Ron Copp of

Interurban Drive and George Turner of Car-riage Road are all seeking their third terms.

FalmouthBryan Dench, Russ Anderson, Sean

Mahoney and Karen Farber are running for two Town Council seats being vacated by Councilors Fred Chase and Will Armitage.

RSU 5 teachers narrowly OK new contractBy David Harry

FREEPORT — After more than three years of negotiations and some frustra-tions, teachers, guidance counselors, school nurses, social workers, therapists and other staff in Regional School Unit 5 have a signed contract.

"It's time to mend fences and move on," Coastal Education Association President Nancy Drolet said. "The vote was made and we need to become a school family again."

The three-year pact extending through June 30, 2014, was approved 65-56 on May 30 by members of the association. It was the second union vote for the contract, coming after a 58-58 deadlock on May 22.

The RSU 5 School Board unanimously approved the contract May 9.

The contract sets the annual pay rate based on a 180-day school year while allowing the board to add days. Union members will be paid on a per diem basis for days worked above the 180-day threshold.

The contract sets a base pay scale of $32,000 for educators holding bachelor's degrees and no "steps" for experience or professional development. Educators with a master's degree and no steps will earn a starting salary of $35,600 and edu-cators with a doctorate and no steps will

earn more than $39,000 to start.The salary for teachers holding a doc-

torate with the maximum 26 steps will be more than $66,000.

"Durham will see the biggest increase; Pownal had a number of experienced teachers at the top of the scale," Drolet said.

Drolet and RSU 5 board Chairman Nelson Larkins said reaching an agree-ment had the most to do with creating conforming language to replace three separate contracts that once covered teachers in Durham, Freeport and Pownal. The three towns merged to form RSU 5 in 2009.

"We were all over the place on work days, what time you started and ended,"

Drolet said.The contract also created uniform sti-

pends for coaching and leading student activities, and how much time teachers are required to spend in conferences and individual education planning sessions.

The contract covers about 175 union members.

This spring, union members gathered outside schools carrying signs and hand-outs to express their dissatisfaction with the pace of negotiations. About 30 union members were on hand to silently greet Maine Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen in the same manner when he spoke in Freeport in April.

Falmouth limits water view protection to new zoneBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — Town councilors unanimously approved creation of a Water View Overlay District at their May 30 meeting, but without a sunset clause.

Discussion of the district has been going on since February. It takes effect immediately.

Prior to the overlay zone, owners of all single-family homes on non-conforming lots who wanted to expand their homes had to seek conditional approval from

the Board of Zoning Appeals.Creation of the overlay district limits

the requirement to those whose homes would obstruct neighbors' water views within the new district, which runs east on Route 88 to the Martin's Point Bridge.

With the creation of the Water View Overlay District, the town would also develop an administrative process by

which town staff would have the ability to facilitate negotiations with property owners to allow reasonable development in that area.

Creation of the district would also allow similar reasonable development reflective of the history and structures in the area without Board of Zoning Ap-peals approval.

Councilor Tony Payne presented the sunset clause, which would eliminate the new district after 18 months and allow

the Community Development Committee the chance to continue to examine ways to solve backlog problems.

Most residents who spoke at the meet-ing supported creation of the district, but not the sunset clause.

Councilor Bonny Rodden, who re-cused herself from the vote because she lives in the proposed district, said the proposal is a good one, but that the ad-dition of the sunset clause would be like

Toll hikes proposed for Maine Turnpikeother construction, he said.

“The collateral benefit is reducing the need of the turnpike to go to the bond mar-kets in future years,” Mills said. “I’m not saying it eliminates it, because you never know quite what the state’s demands on us are going to be and we don’t know what the traffic situation will be.”

Mills said he knows the plan will be con-troversial. The proposed changes will not be settled until the traveling public weighs in at three meetings this month: at Auburn City Hall on June 19, Portland City Hall on June 20, and Saco City Hallon June 21. All three meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Mills said for most commuters and oth-ers who use the highway, the best way to minimize the financial impact would be to convert to the E-ZPass transponder system.

“For a person who lives in Lewiston, with an E-ZPass, whether they use it a little or a lot, they are going to get a better rate than by paying cash,” Mills said.

He said he presented the plan Friday to

Public meeting scheduledJune 20 in PortlandBy Scott Thistle

LEWISTON — A proposal to increase tolls to generate an additional $26 million a year for the Maine Turnpike was presented to Gov. Paul LePage on June 1.

It will be rolled out to the public in a series of meetings starting June 19.

Peter Mills, executive director of the

Maine Turnpike Authority, said the proposal includes toll increases for the highway’s main barrier tolls and a restructuring of rates for E-ZPass holders and commuter discount programs.

Under the proposal favored by the turn-pike’s board of directors, cash tolls at West Gardiner and New Gloucester tollbooths would increase from $1.75 to $2.50, while the toll at the York booth would go from $2 to $3.

The proposal would also increase tolls for commercial trucks. For example, five-axle trucks now paying $7 to pass through the tollbooth at New Gloucester would pay an estimated $10.63 under the proposal.

The authority studied 10 tolling options to raise the money, which is needed for debt payments on reconstruction bonds coming due between 2014 and 2019, Mills said.

If approved, the proposal would put the turnpike on more solid financial ground in the future and could virtually eliminate the need to borrow for future expansion or

the governor, who knew it was coming, but he wanted the governor to see it first before presenting it to the public.

“Every time I’ve gone to a Rotary Club or a chamber of commerce, I’ve said, ‘You know, we’ve got a toll increase coming,’ not knowing exactly what it will look like. I still don’t know exactly what it will look like.”

The decision on the toll changes will be made by the Maine Turnpike Authority’s seven-member board.

Mills said a variety of proposals would be made available, but the one favored by the board was outlined above.

“The one thing we really have to do is raise the $26 million,” Mills said. “How we raise it is not as critical. We’ve got a plan for doing it, but we want to expose that plan to public scrutiny and see how people respond to it.”

The most recent toll increase was in 2009.Scott Thistle is regional editor at the Sun

Unsung Hero: Andrew Ndayambaje, finding a refugeBy David Treadwell

PORTLAND — Andrew Ndayambaje, an African native, said he fell in love with the Portland Public Library the first time he stepped inside.

“The customer care is extraordinary," Ndayambaje said, "and I wanted to be a part of that team.”

Ndayambaje inquired about volunteer op-portunities, and he was soon put to work at the Library Book Store and at the Computer Center, assisting with the Basic Computer

Schneider is the best of GOP Senate candidatesBy Halsey Frank

Maine Republicans have a lot of good choices to be their nominee for U.S. Senate. All of their candidates are smart and articulate. Many have impressive records of accom-plishment in the private sector. Most have provided signifi-cant public service in government or the military. Several have overcome life-changing personal adversity. All are superior to the competition.

My favorite is Attorney General William Schneider, with whom I worked for several years.

Bill grew up in upstate New York. He was an out-doorsman who loved to hunt and fish, and who is still quite a good shot. After high school, Bill went to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he studied en-gineering and computer sci-ence; he graduated in 1981. He served in the Army and Special Forces, but his military career ended in 1985 when he was injured in an automobile accident while on-duty. It left him unable to walk. These days, he gets around quite well in a wheelchair and specially-equipped van.

After the Army, Bill owned a small security consult-ing firm. He went to law school and graduated from the

University of Maine in 1993 with honors. He worked as a drug prosecutor for the attorney general’s office and, starting in 1998, he served two terms in the state House of Representatives representing District 85, which included Durham and parts of Brunswick and Lisbon.

Bill lives on a farm in Durham with his wife and daugh-ter, where, among other things, they raise alpacas for their soft, warm wool.

After the terrorist attacks of 2001, Bill came to the Of-fice of the U.S. Attorney, where he was the anti-terrorism coordinator for Maine and where he prosecuted federal criminal cases and represented the U.S. in civil actions. After Republicans took control of the state Legislature in 2010, Bill campaigned for and won the support of state legislators to become Maine’s 56th attorney general.

As AG, Bill has weighed in on several controversial is-sues. Under his leadership, the office defended Gov. Paul LePage’s decision to take down from the walls of the De-partment of Labor a mural that was perceived to be hostile to business. A federal court agreed that the governor’s act was protected government speech, just as was the decision to hang the mural in the first place.

Bill appealed a Superior Court decision that required the Land Use Regulatory Commission to conduct an additional hearing before acting on Plum Creek’s plan to develop land around Moosehead Lake. He argued that the extensive proceedings that LURC had conducted were sufficient. The Law Court agreed.

He successfully defended Maine’s sex offender registry against a challenge brought by more than a dozen sex of-

fenders represented by three law firms.He joined with 25 other states in a lawsuit challenging

several aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including its individual mandate, as being in excess of Congress’ commerce clause power, a violation of the 10th Amendment’s reservation of undelegated powers, and unconstitutionally coercive.

At a time when politics has become toxically antago-nistic, Bill is a guy who can make his point without being offensive. He can disagree without being disagreeable.

I have been with him at events when members of the press have turned their cameras and lights on him and asked questions loaded with adverse presumptions. When they insinuated that one of his decisions was unprincipled, he did not get defensive. He flashed his disarming smile and matter-of-factly explained his rationale.

That vignette perfectly illustrates why I think Bill Sch-neider is the best person to be the Republican nominee and our next U.S. senator. He will serve Maine and the country by bringing his well-thought-out positions to the table and engaging in an intelligent, good-natured, civil debate that will help identify the best course of action. It’s an ability our state and nation need as we confront serious problems like the deficit, health care, Social Security, financial regu-lation, and the struggling economy.

Kissing in the rain, and other signs of ‘Life’

Yes, being widowed is sad. Yes, being “suddenly single” when you’ve reached a certain age and have already ventured down the parenting path is no picnic. But for those of us in either (or both) of these positions, we must look toward the bright side: life is a “do-over.”

We get a second chance. At virtually everything.

Yesterday, I received a letter from a recently widowed woman – she was devastated, yet clearly possessed the optimism, tenacity and spirit to get her through these dark days, until she’s reached the “other side” and can see the sunshine again.

I felt her pain, and also smiled inside for the unex-pected silver lining that lies ahead for her; surprising gifts she can’t even imagine at this moment.

Being dealt a crummy hand in life can be a bitter pill to swallow.

Your world is suddenly turned upside down, and you can’t see through the smoke and flames. But life is about change. It’s our only constant: that things will not remain the same. That the status quo of today will not be the status quo of tomorrow.

Most people fear change – it’s uncomfortable. We opt

for security over the unknown.It seems many of us either feel entrenched in some

form of stagnation – or chaos. Few of us truly accept that this dichotomy is what is called Life. Capital L. We feel underwhelmed, unfulfilled, itchy, possibly bored. Or, then the tide turns – and we’re suddenly overwhelmed, up to our elbows, frenetic.

When I was in the midst of my deepest grief, I read something that’s remained a favorite mantra: “Within chaos lies all possibility.”

It’s been more valuable than anything any therapist has ever said to me.

At those very times when we feel a loss of control, when our reality has been blown up by an unanticipated disaster – when we feel like Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz” – that is when we actually have our greatest potential for growth. We have options. That is where our fabulous future happiness lies.

Yes. In that scary mess of flying tractors and pitch-forks and Toto in a wicker bicycle basket – and other dangerous objects that might clunk us on the head.

I learned to embrace chaos, and suddenly had a glimpse into the endless potential in front of me. I could start over. A second chance at life.

How many people get that?Sometimes, we have change thrust upon us. Some-

thing so tragic and debilitating that it makes us consider crawling under the covers and staying there until the vodka runs out. Or until one of our kids comes in to ask for a ride to the store for Fritos.

And sometimes, we are the cause of the change. We wake up one morning to an empty feeling in our soul,

and the inner knowledge that life is zipping by at the speed of sound, and that it’s time for us to change the flight plan.

And granted, that won’t make everyone in your life happy, but it’s better than waking up when you’re 92 and regretting the last 50 years. Or knowing you weren’t brave enough to accept that life “has an expiration date,” and that we all deserve to create a genuine existence that truly reflects who we are, that nourishes the soul.

I know many women who face these challenges, and I always feel excited for them and the journey they’re on. And I understand the courage and the struggle involved.

When we say, “I do” we generally don’t, in the re-cesses of our brains, think “yeah, this marriage thing is great. But it’s probably not going to last a lifetime. I’d better have a Plan B.”

No. We go into it thinking it’s going to be forever. We can’t imagine a different dream.

Then one day, you’re widowed or divorced, and you’re kissing some hot guy in the rain in an alleyway, and you suddenly realize, “This isn’t where I imagined I’d be when I walked down the aisle, but this isn’t so bad.”

Life is a roller-coaster. Things change. But in the end, if you’re still kissing someone in the rain, you’re doing OK.

An independent voter’s plea to the partiesBy Elizabeth Miller

At a panel discussion sponsored this spring by the Maine Festival of the Book, I found out that I am among the 40 percent of registered voters in our country not enrolled in a political party.

Why am I “unaffiliated,” even when it restricts me to only general elections? Because neither side is charting a course that makes sense to me.

A baby-boomer, I was raised by Republican parents whose world view had been tempered by by the Great Depression and World War II. Their recipe for a good life? Value hard work and take pride in a job well done, no matter how routine or menial the task. Get an education. Save for a rainy day and defer short-term pleasures in exchange for longer-term goals. And above all, don’t accept handouts and don’t let yourself get dependent on anyone else.

It’s important to note that I grew up in an era when housing was affordable on one income and it was possible to save for a post-secondary education without taking on crippling debt. It’s equally important to recognize the hand of public policy in my success. Thanks to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, opportunities were opening up educationally and professionally. Finance reform in the late 1970s made it possible for me, as a single woman, to establish my own credit, even buy my own home

No one tried to talk me out of majoring in history be-cause it wasn’t “practical.” Believing that if I worked hard I could achieve anything I put my mind to, I managed, with luck, to successfully pursue not just one, but two careers

(the second one launched at mid-life). I did this with no handouts, other than a brief stint on unemployment benefits in 1977, for which I felt guilty.

I believe that everyone should have the freedom to dream and the opportunities to achieve what is in one’s heart. I’m proudly pro-choice, pro-immigration and pro-gay marriage. Please, keep religion out of my bedroom. Government is

at its best when it helps, not hobbles, economic development.

But not everyone was or is as lucky as I was, to have been brought up with these “bootstrap” values. Cycles of dependence on welfare have kept some from becoming fully produc-tive citizens. Fifteen years in public

school education leaves me dubious as to whether those values of self-reliance are still being taught at home.

Still, it’s a different era now. The economic engine of post-war America that carried me forward on the tide of middle-class expansion has slowed and, for some, stopped. I watch people in their 20s having difficulty finding jobs. Childless adults are being booted off Medicaid rolls. Pro-posals to cut food stamps and general assistance create even larger holes in our safety net. Spend one day volunteering at a soup kitchen and you’ll realize that many of us are just one illness or one layoff away from similar circumstances.

As a history teacher, I enjoy introducing the fundamen-tals of our American political creed to immigrants, payback for my own immigrant grandparents’ experience. The pre-amble to the U.S. Constitution states: “We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, ... promote the general Welfare, and

secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Poster-ity... .” I interpret this to mean that we’re not individuals trying to survive in a laissez-faire oligarchy controlled by super-PACS and unethical financial institutions.

It’s those “blessings of Liberty for ... our posterity” that I ponder now. What ought we to do to ensure that future generations are blessed with the same opportunities I enjoyed? Yes, we are our brother’s keeper; sink or swim, we’re in this together.

I’m troubled by the attacks to the safety net created by the New Deal and expanded by the Great Society. I don’t think Obamacare went far enough; access to health care should be a fundamental right in our wealthy nation. Efforts to strip workers of collective bargaining rights, tax “reform” that gives breaks to the wealthiest to the detriment to the least of us, refusal to acknowledge the science of climate change and the dangers of global warming – the list gets longer as I follow current political debate. There is a chorus of “I’ve got mine, screw you” selfishness that is reaching disturbing levels.

As Benjamin Franklin urged fellow rebels, “we must all hang together or assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

Please, find common ground.Elizabeth Miller is a part-time teacher at Portland

Adult Education. She is a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., and has been a resident of Portland since 1985, when she moved to Maine to be the executive director of the Maine Historical Society.

Do the math on oil company taxes

I am writing in response to a letter in the May 23 edition of The Forecaster. The letter stated that ExxonMobil earned around $40 billion, while paying $59 billion in taxes.

This is misleading. ExxonMobil obviously did not pay $1.45 in taxes on every dollar it made. ExxonMobil is the largest company in the world by revenue, which would not be possible if they were paying more money in taxes than they were earning. The writer of the letter may have been confused, as ExxonMobil’s annual net income has aver-

Falmouth candidate’s explanation evokes response

I want to thank The Forecaster for taking a bit of space to allow Bryan Dench, running for Falmouth Town Council, to explain why he wrote his 2010 letter regarding the legalization of gay marriage and his views on “homosexual relations.” Particularly interesting was his statement that he supports following the law.

Dench’s letter stated that the truth behind the law on hate crimes was actually aimed at “normalizing and vali-dating homosexual behavior, and overturning the clear consensus for all human history that marriage is between people of the opposite sex.” Imagine my surprise. According to the stat-ues of the state of Maine, a hate crime is defined as any unlaw-ful action designed to frighten, harm, injure, intimidate, or harass an individual, in whole or part, because of bias motivation against the actual or perceived race, religion, ethnic background, or sexual orientation of the victim.

This law saved my life. Little did I know that ac-cording to Dench, the hate crime law is part of “a long process of indoctrinating people, especially children, to believe that homosexual behaviors are ‘normal’.”

Dench’s letter continued: “Not long ago homosexual behavior was defined as abnormal and deviant by men-tal health professionals. Have the facts changed, or just their ideology?”

We are all certainly entitled to our personal beliefs and opinions on any matter of policies, politics, religion, morality. However, I certainly cannot envision having a Town Councilor who thinks I’m not “normal” or “just as good” – or even perhaps “deviant” – because I am gay.

Freeport rep has no favorite in primary

I am writing to clear up confusion about the three-person primary race for House District 106 (Freeport and part of Pownal). I am the current state representa-tive. Having served for eight years and due to term limits, I cannot run again for this position. The three Democratic candidates are not running against me, but running to replace me.

In addition and importantly, I have not, nor has the Freeport Democratic Party, endorsed a candidate. Sev-

eral prominent Democrats have become involved, but, all three candidates are truly exceptional individuals with a wide range of supporters. I have been talking with and supporting each to do the best they can to earn your vote. I have not endorsed anyone. Democrats

have three excellent people to choose from. I encour-age each of you to meet the candidates and make an informed choice.

As always, until my replacement is elected, if I can help you with a state issue, do not hesitate to contact me.

Former Falmouth councilor hasn’t changed

Demagoguery is neither desired nor necessary in Falmouth. Former Councilor Cathy Breen’s letter casti-gated Bryan Dench, a candidate for town councilor, by asserting Dench’s past position relating to gay people being granted the right to marry (he was against it) as an outright disqualification of his character and integrity.

While on the Town Council, Breen vigorously sup-ported and pushed the move to spend our money on moving the library. She was not successful. The voters rejected it. Breen now seeks to thwart the voice and cast aspersions, denigrate and destroy Dench by demagogu-ery and innuendo, denying him election to the council.

Breen’s tenure on the council left a great deal to be desired when it came to deportment, courtesy and plain old good manners. It appears she hasn’t changed.

Ronald A. HartFalmouth

aged around $40 billion over the past six or seven years. But that number would be after taxes, operating costs, etc. ExxonMobil’s annual revenue over that same period averaged around $365 billion. If the tax number the writer quoted is correct ($59 billion per year averaged across those years), that would mean that ExxonMobil paid a much less outrageous 16 cents for every dollar they earned. To put that in perspective – if that number is correct – ExxonMobil would be paying less in taxes than I did while working for minimum wage at a record store.

And of course, none of this math takes into account many of the other costs of oil – the troops and ships we send overseas to “secure” it, the health-care costs and environmental costs to people who live near the pumping and processing facilities, the pollution caused by shipping it halfway around the world, and so many other things that we all pay for with both our tax dollars and our well being.

A laundry list of LePage lapsesOn May 19, Gov. Paul LePage released a 20-page

booklet, Making Maine Prosperous, detailing what he views as the accomplishments of his first 500 days in office.

As an addendum to Gov. LePage’s checklist, allow me to submit my own bill of indictment, detailing some of the reasons I believe we would all be better off if Paul LePage were not governor of Maine.

1. He falsely claimed Democrats attacked him for being Franco-American.

2. He falsely claimed he was being accused of being a “tax cheat, draft dodger and sexual harassment person.” Still wondering what’s behind that whopper. Or was it?

3. Celebrated his nom-ination at a notorious bar in Waterville, where he hung out all the time until the spotlight was turned on him.

4. His wife took a homestead exemption and in-state tuition for their kids in Florida.

5. He threatened to punch a reporter who reported the Florida tax situation.

6. Said he was worried that Libby Mitchell was too old at 70 to be governor.

7. Declined to attend Martin Luther King Day din-ner and then told NAACP to “kiss my butt.”

8. To counter charges of racism, falsely claimed his Jamaican caddy’s son was his own.

9. Bragged he would “Tell Obama to go to hell.”10. Without ever seeing it, ordered Maine Labor

History Mural removed as too pro-labor.11. Called those who defended the mural “idiots.”12. Tried to repeal Child Safety Act, claiming that

the only problem with the chemical BPA was that it might give women “little beards.”

13. Filled his transition team with American Legis-lative Exchange Council and Maine Heritage Policy Center ideologues.

14. Hired his daughter to serve on his staff at $41,000 a year.

15. Gave a job to his brother-in-law. (Well, that’s two jobs he’s created).

16. Nominated developer Darryl Brown as head of Department of Environmental Protection. Brown was forced to resign when the attorney general found him “unqualified” due to conflicts of interest.

17. Nominated Philip Congdon to head Department of Economic and Community Development despite the fact that Cogndon admitted he he didn’t know

anything about community development. Congdon was forced to quit after telling the people of Aroostook County to “get off the reservation.”

18. Accepted Norman Olsen’s resignation as head of the Department of Marine Resources. Olsen resigned of his own free will, claiming that the vindictive gover-nor didn’t want the DMR collaborating with the city of Portland because Portland didn’t vote for him.

19. LePage spokesman Dan Demeritt bragged that LePage would have 11,000 state bureaucrats working to elect Republicans. Demerrit then resigned because his own businesses were failing.

20. Nominated Bruce Poliquin as state treasurer. Poliquin, too, should have resigned when it was revealed that he had been doing private business while serving as treasurer, a clear violation of the state Con-stitution.

21. LePage and Poliquin led the GOP witch hunt that forced Dale McCormick to resign as head of the Maine State Housing Authority. An Office of Program Evaluation & Government Accountability audit then determined that McCormick had done nothing wrong.

22. Supports the conservative attempt to get rid of the Land Use Regulation Commission.

23. Tells Mainers on welfare to “get off the couch and get a job.”

24. Supported rolling back Child Labor Laws, say-ing, “Work doesn’t hurt anyone.”

25. Charged that state workers were “as corrupt as they can be.”

26. Tried to eliminate the state appropriation to MPBN.

27. Tried to cut 65,000 Mainers from MaineCare.28. Did cut 1,550 legal immigrants from MaineCare

by imposing a five-year waiting period.29. Meanwhile, his Department of Health and

Human Services mistakenly paid benefits to 19,000 ineligible recipients.

30. Eliminated MaineCare benefits for 19- and 20-year-olds and senior citizens’ drug prescriptions.

31. Senate (35-0) and House (124-16) had to over-ride LePage veto of MaineCare services for people with special needs.

Clearly, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Paul LeP-age is a governor with no foresight and no real concern for anyone who didn’t vote for him.

Shed no tears for big oilJustin Brownwell asks us to "do the math" on the taxes

that companies like ExxonMobil pay ("U.S. needs stronger energy policy," May 25). There are many ways to calculate corporate profit and taxes, some more self-serving than others. Mr. Brownwell seems to have relied on Exxon's own calculations, which help portray the company as the aggrieved victim of burdensome taxation.

ExxonMobil earned $30.5 billion in 2010, a 57 percent increase from the previous year. Independent analysts put the company's federal income tax rate at just 17.2 percent – far lower than what most Brunswick residents pay to Uncle Sam. Yet ExxonMobil is the largest publicly traded corporation in the world, and among the most profitable. Like all of us, it has an obligation to support the collective good through taxation. Unlike the rest of us, though, the government regularly bestows on it an unfair advantage in the form of huge federal subsidies. Last year, the five big-gest oil companies posted record profits of $137 billion, and received $4 billion in taxpayer-financed tax credits. The question, then, is not why these companies pay so much, but why they don't pay what regular Americans pay. It's not like they need it to stay afloat.

Frankly, when so many hard-working Americans are struggling to do just that, it is beyond me how anyone can manage to shed tears for corporations like ExxonMobil. I'll save mine for the employees whose jobs they outsourced.

Farmers appreciate supportOn May 23, the Falmouth Farmers Market opened for

the 2012 season at its new location in Village Park. For many years, the market was in the parking lot of Walmart. Because of the construction planned this summer for the store, the market needed to find a new location. For a time, we had thought that our new location would be in the park-ing lot of Maine Antiques on Route 1. David Jones, the owner, had invited us to use his parking lot. Unfortunately, the market was too large (20 vendors) for the space and we were compelled to relocate yet again. But the town came to our rescue.

When he learned that we needed a new location, Town Manager Nathan Poore told us that the town was fully com-mitted to the success of the market and then matched his words with actions. Quickly, all of the town departments responsible for managing the park and the regulations and permitting necessary for the market acted to help us to our new location. We would like to extend special thanks to Ethan Croce of the Planning Office for his help.

Our customers have told us how much they love the new location. This lovely park provides a spacious and safe location for us. It was very nice to see the children playing on the lawn while their parents visited the vendors. The market is held every Wednesday from noon to 4 p.m.

Elect Bryan DenchFalmouth Town Council

For Experience, Professional Expertiseand Good Judgment in Town Government

www.denchfortowncouncil.com

Many face real personal financial hardships we should not ignore or belittle. We need to begood stewards of public monies.

The role of government should be limited and government power exercised with restraint.Government should not interfere more than necessary with personal liberty and privateproperty rights. It should not presume to know better than the people. It should not tryto be all things to all people. It should keep its priorities straight and in line with publicinterests and necessities.

At the same time, local government has a responsibility to continue to do well in theprovision of essential public services and quality education. I will be careful with yourtax dollars while still supporting our excellent schools and essential police, fire, andgovernment services.

We need to foster and encourage local businesses and remember the importance of ourwell balanced property tax base.

I am no politician but I believe my 37 years as legal counsel for many governmententities throughout Maine and my history of public service will enable me to make aunique contribution. I have been privileged to handle many professional assignments ofresponsibility and trust regarding public affairs and personal matters for my clients, suchas investigating Portland’s $2.5 million school budget shortfall and last year’s discoveryof some $1.5 million in unbilled sewer charges in Portland last year. I have in fact acted ascounsel to the Town of Falmouth on various matters. I have advised other lawyers on ethicsmatters and testified as an expert witness on ethics before the Maine Supreme JudicialCourt. I have counseled many small businesses and their owners in Maine.

I will consider the interests of all Falmouth residents, including those who may feel theirvoices are not always heard. I am a good listener. I am also a professional mediator andknow how to find solutions to problems. Over many years of public service I have acquiredthe skills to maintain discipline and courtesy in public proceedings.

Please join the following Falmouth residents who, with many others, support my election.Together we can keep Falmouth great and build our future!

Second-Hand Consignment

continued next page

Shoppers with an eye on Monolo Blahnik shoes or a Louis Vuitton hand-bag may want to turn to consignment stores to realize good deals on designer duds. Consignment stores are surging in popularity all across the country. Many look the same as mainstream retailers and are taking a chunk of their business profits, too.

Consignment stores no longer carry the stigma they once did. Instead of grandma prints and last, last, last seasons’ styles, fashion-forward shops now offer a selec-tion of gently used brand-name and very often designer merchandise to a discern-ing clientele of shoppers. A shopper may even be able to find new items straight from a manufacturer’s’ warehouse.

Consignment shop innovators, such as DoubleTake (www.edoubletake.com), a growing chain of consignment stores on the East Coast, regularly receive merchandise directly from designers, the wardrobe departments of television shows, and from socialites and fash-ionistas across the country. Says owner/operator Marci Kessler, who has been in

From day one we’ve had a steady continuous stream of beautiful designer merchandise that comes from people in every imaginable situation, and because we have such a high turnover rate through fast sales in our stores, we’ve built up a base of over 10,000 regular consignors.”

What is the draw to consignment? For shoppers, it’s the ability to get very good quality merchandise at a discounted price. Typically, consigned items will

sell for 25 to 50 percent of the original retail value, although each store varies in their policy. Some stores will continue to mark down items the longer they’re in the shop.

For sellers, consignment stores offer the opportunity to have their merchandise on display and receive a portion of the profits. Most stores will sell consigned items and split the profits at 40 to 60 percent. This can make it easy for indi-viduals with closets full of items that are not in use to make some extra money.

“Many women in the fashion industry or socialites need to turn over their ward-robes frequently,” offers Kessler. “These people would rather make some money than have items sit in their closets.”

Consignment stores are big business. According to the Association of Resale Professionals, there are currently more than 30,000 resale, consignment and thrift shops in the United States. The industry has also experienced a growth --approximately 7 percent a year for the past two years. Plus, with real estate prices at all-time lows, many enterprising people are taking advantage of low rents and opening up consignment stores all across the country.

Don’t think consignment stores are glorified yard sales, either. Most stores will not accept items that are out-of-date or too much out of season. Some shops won’t carry merchandise that is older than two years old.

In this economy, many people are look-ing to make or save money. Consignment stores can offer the best of both worlds. For those with a large assortment of items they are considering for consignment, call Marci Kessler at 866-678-6464 or e-mail [email protected] to to dis-cuss how to have your items considered and appraised for sale.

Libraryfrom page 1

Some ensuing pieces are smaller, technological changes Flatebo described as simple.

“By technological changes, we mean more outlets,” she said.

More outlets will allow patrons more space to plug in and log on to their computers. Getting rid of knob-and-tube wiring dating to President Theodore Roosevelt’s sec-ond term will allow more and better power to the outlets, Flatebo said.

Flatebo and Library Director Heidi Grimm said the plans address some needs that have been deferred over the last few years as library staff and trustees waited to see how the historical society plans would play out.

The library plans, split into three phases, are more complicated than adding outlets, but are designed to meet some very elemental needs without significantly changing the nature of the sturdy brick building Flatebo called “a town treasure.”

It is a treasure that is costly to heat in the winter and barely cooled in warmer months by six antiquated air conditioners.

“This place is an oven in the summertime,” Grimm said.Once space is available on the third floor, an estimated

$350,000 project to add bathrooms, a sprinkler system and insulation, while creating new office and public gathering space, can start.

Merrill Memorial Library has two first-floor bathrooms with a total of three stalls. Neither bathroom fully complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

By adding third-floor bathrooms, the former historical society museum can be used for programs like author visits and book clubs, Grimm said.

There is elevator access to the third floor, and library staff would no longer have to rearrange the first floor to accommodate visitors.

“We run around and drag the furniture back to make it into a library again,” Grimm said.

Once third-floor work is complete, a second phase of work on the first and second floors estimated to cost $641,000 will begin. First-floor bathrooms will be ex-panded, new windows installed and a glass wall will be built on the second floor.

A third, $136,000 phase to improve third-floor storage space could be four years from completion because the

Merrill Memorial Library Director Heidi Grimm said a renovation plan will make use of the original library staircase while fixing leaky ceilings and updating wiring, heating, ventilation and bathrooms at the 107-year-old Yarmouth building.

Merrill Memorial Library still uses knob-and-tube wiring and lacks a sprinkler system. A three-phase renovation plan addresses those and other

needs with an estimated cost of $1.4 million. DaviD Harry / THe ForecasTer

historical society will continue to store some of its items in a third floor attic until at least 2016. Plans call for build-ing a small kitchen area and finishing work on sprinklers in this phase.

A fourth stage not needed to conform to the schedule calls for building a portico over the entrance to better pro-tect the library and its visitors from the elements.

“I want to stress that the $1.4 million is for a bare-bones project,” Flatebo said.

Councilors took no action at the workshop last month, except to view the presentation, where Flatebo raised the possibility of a $1 million dollar bond question on the June 2013 ballot.

A bond of that amount could help fund a larger project to address more than some very basic needs, she said.

Flatebo and Grimm said later the library staff and trust-ees continue to examine the details and possible costs for library work. The library endowment fund could provide

up to $200,000 in funding, including $30,000 already spent for studies.

The bond amount is a preliminary estimate, but one Council Chairman Steve Woods cautioned could not be viewed as a stand-alone item in terms of municipal needs.

Bonds needed to replace the artificial turf field at Yarmouth High School and renovate or expand the North Street Public Works facility have also been discussed by councilors, although bond amounts and ballot dates are undetermined.

“The reality is all these projects are critically important for the town,” Woods said as he encouraged the trustees to continue to develop plans and a firmer cost estimate for the work.

The financial realities of town needs should not be taken as a lack of support for library improvements, Councilor Leslie Hyde said.

“The library is equally one of them,” she said.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or [email protected].

Lacrosse playoffs promise to thrill(Ed. Note: For the complete

Falmouth-NYA boys’ and Fal-mouth-Cape Elizabeth girls’ game stories, with box scores and pho-tos, please visit theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

Eight Forecaster Country la-crosse teams enter the postseason hopeful that their season will end with a championship celebration June 16. That promises to produce a memorable postseason which is already underway.

BoysThe Falmouth boys’ team won

a state title for the first time in 2011 and wore the bulls-eye well this spring. After suffering a close loss at rival Cape Elizabeth in the opener, the Yachtsmen rattled off 11 straight victories, capping the regular season with a 14-2 home victory over North Yarmouth Academy in a Class B state final rematch on Senior Night last Wednesday. Mitch Tapley had four goals and two assists, Charlie Fay added three goals and two as-sists and Jack Cooleen also scored three times.

Falmouth boys share Class B track title; NYA just misses in CBy Michael Hoffer

The Falmouth boys’ outdoor track team didn’t mind proverbi-ally kissing its sister Saturday at the Class B state championship meet at Mt. Desert Island.

That’s because the Yachtsmen battled to a surprising deadlock with York, earning the right to be named co-champions, the fourth time in the past 10 years that Falmouth has either won Class B outright or shared the title and the third time in the past four springs.

The Yachtsmen and Wildcats both tallied 93 points after York won the meet-ending 1,600 relay and Falmouth placed runner-up.

“Actually it was special,” said Yachtsmen coach Danny Paul. “We had to have some significant efforts to get the tie. Based on the seeds going in, we were at best case scenario second. Actually this has happened before and it was us and Hampden Academy a few years ago. I am not sure what

Weather and field conditions permitting, the baseball and softball postseasons got under-way Tuesday.

All four local varsity baseball

and two Forecaster Country softball teams made the cut and have high hopes.

BaseballThe Greely baseball team did

what everyone expected it to do this spring, dominate and earn the top seed.

The Rangers finished first in the Western Class B Heal Points standings with a 15-1

mark after closing with an 11-2 home win over Fryeburg last Wednesday. In that one, Mike Leeman, Connor Russell and Sam Porter combined to throw a three-hitter, while recording 15 of 21 outs via the strikeout. Leeman capped an eight-run first inning with a three-run home run. Leeman and Bailey

played us really tough last time (an 11-7 Falmouth win at NYA), so we knew we couldn’t come out soft like we did the first game. We turned it up in the first quarter and never lost the lead.”

“I felt we were better prepared this year than any other team I’ve had,” said Falmouth coach Mike LeBel. “We never really got down early. We scored early and often and kept going with that and I think if we can start fast, it just does something mentally to the other team and sets us up.”

After the game, LeBel paid tribute to his group of seniors who turned this program into one of

the state’s finest.“They came in during a time

where we didn’t have a lot of underclassmen,” LeBel said. “We were forced to play a lot of them off the bat. Mitch and Jack are four-year starters. We didn’t have

anyone else. Over the years, they gained a ton of experience and played in summer leagues and got additional coaching and experi-ence there. Now, as seniors, they can handle anything.”

Falmouth will host either No. 4 York (7-5) or No. 5 Wells (8-4) in the semifinals Saturday. The Yachtsmen won 21-4 at Wells May 9 and handled host York, 15-5, May 22. Falmouth hasn’t previously faced the Warriors or

Wildcats in the playoffs.Presuming Falmouth does the

expected and passes that test, it will likely host Cape Elizabeth in a highly anticipated regional final June 13.

“I think we’re ready,” LeBel said. “I’m very happy we secured homefield. I don’t know who our first game will be against. That’s going to be a challenge, getting up for that first game. I don’t

year exactly. We tied Hampden for second place in 2007. That was not as fun. The only other tie for first in outdoor track was 1988 Hampden and Kennebunk.”

Falmouth won two events, setting a new record in the 400 relay, as Jacob Buhelt, Matt Kin-gry, Grant Burfeind and Jimmy Polewaczyk had a time of 43.99 seconds and getting a top finish from Buhelt in the 200 (23.12).

The Yachtsmen had several runners-up performances as Reid Pryzant was second in both the 110 hurdles (15.44 seconds) and the 300 hurdles (42.06), Tim Follo was second-best in the mile (4 minutes, 32.87 seconds) and the 1,600 relay team of Buhelt, Thomas Edmonds, Burfeind and Polewaczyk had a time of 3:33.74.

Aaron Rogers was third in the long jump (19 feet, 9.25 inches). Kingry placed third in the javelin

Falmouth tennis teams on verge of more hardwareBy Michael Hoffer

Here we go again.The Falmouth tennis teams are closing

in on another state championship.The four-time defending Class B

champion girls improved to 14-0 and ad-vanced to the Western B Final last week with 5-0 wins over No. 8 York and No. 4 Lincoln Academy in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. Wednesday, the

Yachtsmen battled No. 2 Yarmouth (12-2) in the regional final. Falmouth beat the Clippers, 5-0, in the regular season. The last playoff meeting between the rivals resulted in a 5-0 Falmouth victory in the 2010 semifinals.

If the Yachtsmen move on to Saturday’s Class B state final at Colby College in Waterville (which begins at 10 a.m.), they will face either Waterville or Caribou.

Yarmouth got to the regional final by virtue of a 3-2 victory over No. 7 Frye-burg in the quarterfinals and a 5-0 win over third-ranked Greely in Monday’s semifinals.

The Rangers, who had defeated No. 6

Cape Elizabeth, 3-2, in the quarterfinals, wound up 10-4, their best record since 2007.

Freeport (2-10) and North Yarmouth Academy (4-8) both fell short of the playoffs this year.

On the boys’ side, reigning Class B champion Falmouth battled rival third-ranked Cape Elizabeth (12-2) in Wednes-day’s regional final. The Yachtsmen improved to 14-0 with a 5-0 quarterfinal round victory over No. 8 Yarmouth and a 5-0 semifinal win over No. 4 Mara-nacook. Falmouth beat Cape Elizabeth twice in the regular season, 3-2 and 5-0. Last spring, the Yachtsmen defeated the Capers in the regional final, 3-2. The teams have met in nine of the past 10 postseasons with Falmouth holding a 5-4 edge.

If the Yachtsmen make it to the state meet (also 10 a.m. Saturday in Water-ville), they will meet Ellsworth or Mt. Desert Island.

Freeport’s first postseason appearance since 2006 ended with a 3-2 quarterfinal round loss at No. 2 Lincoln. The seventh-ranked Falcons wound up 4-9.

Prior to losing to Falmouth, Yarmouth

was a 5-0 preliminary round victor over No. 9 Mountain Valley. The Clippers finished the year 5-9.

Greely missed the playoffs with a 1-11 mark.

In Western C, NYA made the postsea-son for the first time in five years and as the No. 9 seed. The Panthers won a pre-liminary round match at No. 8 Madison, 5-0, then upset top-ranked St. Dom’s, 3-2, before falling at No. 5 Waynflete, 5-0, to finish 9-6.

think it’ll be an issue getting up for Cape. That’s going to be a tough one. That Cape team really amazes me. They remind me of Yarmouth a couple years ago where they graduated their whole starting lineup and the next year, they’re in the championship game again. It’s amazing what they do over there. They’ll have a good game plan for us. We’ll do our best.”

Greely earned the third seed in Western B at 8-4, finishing with an 8-6 home win over York. In that one, the Rangers scored twice in the final minute to prevail. Brooks Belisle scored three times.

The Rangers earned a bye into the semi-finals and play at No. 2 Cape Elizabeth (11-1) in Saturday’s semis. Greely lost at the Capers, 14-5, back on May 8. The Rangers have lost all six previous postseason en-counters with Cape Elizabeth, including a 15-3 decision in last year’s semifinals.

In Eastern B, Yarmouth finished 7-5 after falling, 10-5, at Cape Elizabeth in its finale last Wednesday.

“This season had many ups and downs,” said first-year Yarmouth coach David Pearl. “We went from the disappointment of los-ing a close game at NYA to the thrill of defeating undefeated Scarborough. We have grown a lot as a team this season and know we have to continue to work hard each and every day if we are going to be able to compete at the highest level. We have struggled maintaining intensity for all four quarters in a game and our slow starts in many games and the inability of our offense to possess the ball has put a lot of stress on our young defense. The defense has improved the most during this season and this is a tribute to their hard work and de-termination to fight off long possessions by opposing teams. NYA, Cape and Falmouth have excellent attacks and their ability of their attackmen to dodge has challenged our long poles. They have really improved and need to continue to improve if we are going to succeed in the postseason.”

The Clippers earned the No. 3 seed and hosted No. 6 Oak Hill (8-4) in the quarter-finals Wednesday. The teams didn’t play this year. Yarmouth dominated the Raiders, 22-3, in the 2001 second round in the only prior playoff meeting.

“We’re confident entering the playoffs,” Pearl said. “The competition we faced in the last games of the season exposed both our strengths and weaknesses. Practices this last week have been really intense and productive and the players are working even

Portland Phoenix soccer teams win titles

The Maine Premier Soccer Portland Phoenix U-16 girls’ team won the 2012 State Cup (beating Seacoast on penalty kicks, 2-1). Back row (left to right): Lauren Stiles (Gorham),

Maggie Seitz (Falmouth), Anne Ross (Cumberland), Emma Davidson (South Portland), Marley Byrne (Auburn), Lauren Shoemaker (Windham), Megan Miller (Falmouth), Mykaela Twitchell (Cumberland), Kate Kneeland (Windham), Alexis Elowitch (Portland). Front row: Maggie Bohrmann (Falmouth), Brianna Russell (Falmouth), Cole Spike (Portland), Taylor Russell (Falmouth), Kelly Pomerleau (Turner), Edie Pallozzi (Portland), Elizabeth Harris

(Portland), Ari Davidson (Windham). Missing: Samantha Sivovlos (Portland).

The U-16 boys won their State Cup, 6-0, then

harder. The leadership on our team starts with the captains and they set the tone each and every day.”

A victory could send Yarmouth to No. 2 Gardiner (11-1) for Saturday’s semifinals, which would give the Clippers a chance to avenge last year’s shocking playoff loss.

Reigning Eastern B champion NYA earned the No. 4 seed in the region. The Panthers wound up 6-6 after last week’s 14-2 loss at Falmouth.

“It was a little tougher than we had hoped,” said Panthers coach Peter Gerrity. “(Falmouth) has good players all over the field. After a couple breakdowns on de-fense, we seemed to lose the momentum we hoped to build. That really killed us. Our intensity was different from the first game. These guys don’t indicate before the game whether they’ll play great or not. It usually takes the first couple minutes. Sometimes, we can climb back, but we just couldn’t today.”

NYA welcomed No. 5 Maranacook/Win-throp (9-3) in Wednesday’s quarterfinals. The teams didn’t play in the regular season and had no playoff history. If victorious, the Panthers could have to run a St. Dom’s-Yarmouth gauntlet to get back to the state final. The Saints are undefeated and ranked first and the Clippers are their fiercest rival.

“We have to show up to play every game,” Gerrity said. “If we beat Mara-nacook/Winthrop, we’ll have St. Dom’s. Though their schedule’s weak, they’re undefeated. We want another Yarmouth meeting. And another Falmouth meeting. That’s what we want. We’ll have to work pretty hard to get there.”

Freeport wound up 2-10 and ninth in Eastern B, but only eight teams made the playoff cut. The Falcons closed with a 14-12 home loss to Waynflete. Clayton Mor-rison scored four goals and Evan Hench added three in defeat.

The boys’ lacrosse regional finals are Wednesday of next week, on the fields of the highest remaining seeds. The Class B state game is Saturday, June 16 at 12:30 p.m., at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland.

GirlsWhile Falmouth has stolen most of the

girls’ headlines this spring, perhaps the best story of the local girls’ season has been Freeport, which finished first in Eastern B for the first time with a 6-6 record.

Freeport finished with a 15-10 loss to Greely in a game played at Bowdoin College last Tuesday (Jocelyn Davee and Elizabeth Martin both scored twice, Jess Hench had three assists and Molly Lane made 10 saves).

“I am so pleased with how my team played in the regular season,” said Freeport coach Karin Kurry. “We exceeded our be-ginning of the season goals.”

The Falcons earn a bye into Saturday’s semifinals and will host No. 4 Mountain Valley (4-8) or No. 5 Gardiner (1-11). Freeport didn’t face either team in the regular season. Three years ago in the quar-terfinals, the Falcons dominated Mountain Valley, 15-3. The teams also met in the 2001 first round with the exact same result. Freeport has never faced the Tigers in the playoffs.

“Now we will play each game of playoffs the best we can,” Kurry said. “The teams in the East region are very even, so everyone has a chance to win.”

Lacrossefrom previous page

Looming large as the second seed is de-fending Class B state champion Yarmouth, which bounced back from an 0-5 start this spring to finish 6-6. The Clippers closed with an 18-9 victory at NYA last Wednes-day. Mo McNaboe had three goals, while Olivia Conrad, Caitlin Crawford, Grace O’Donnell, Ricki Pierce and Maddy Wood all had two.

“We had a tough schedule at the begin-ning, but we learned a lot,” said Yarmouth coach Dorothy Holt. “These girls have worked so hard. It’s a tribute to all of them. They’ve really banded together. To get to this point is incredible.”

Yarmouth will host No. 3 Morse (4-8) in the semifinals this weekend. The Clippers don’t play the Shipbuilders in the regular year. They rolled over Morse, 21-3, in last year’s semis.

“I definitely think (Morse is) improved from last year,” Holt said. “It’ll be a good game. We have to prepare like we’re play-ing Cape, Falmouth or Waynflete. We’ve had a lot of former players come by this week. It’s been fun for the girls to get their support. I believe we’re peaking at the right time.”

If Freeport and Yarmouth were to square off in the regional final, it would be their first meeting of the season. The Clippers have won all four prior playoff encounters. The most recent was a 16-3 decision in the 2009 semifinals.

In Western B, Falmouth finds itself in a region that arguably includes the three best teams in the whole state, the Yachtsmen, top-ranked Cape Elizabeth and perennial

powerhouse Waynflete.Falmouth had a chance to earn the top

seed for the first time in program history when it hosted the Capers last Tuesday, but an early 5-1 deficit put the Yachtsmen in a hole. They trailed, 15-9, with under

six minutes to play before erupting for five goals, but a free position from Megan Fortier hit the post with 1:31 showing and with 26.7 seconds to go, Maddie Skop’s game-tying bid was saved and Falmouth finished 10-2 with a 15-14 loss.

Fortier had five goals and Alex Ber-nier three, but the Yachtsmen were severely hampered by 23 turnovers, most of which were unforced.

“We pretty much ran out of time,” Falmouth coach Robin Haley said. “We dug a hole. We had a hard time maintaining pos-session of the ball today. Cape’s extremely athletic and capitalized on all of it. They outplayed us today. We had a couple players who were really jittery today. We’d talked a lot about this game. I think some of that pressure came into play for us today.”

In spite of the loss, the Yachtsmen take great pride in their 10-2 record, the best in the program’s history.

“I think it’s the best regular season we’ve ever had, without a doubt,” Haley said. “It’s something to hold on to.”

Falmouth finished third in Western B and has to go to Waynflete Saturday (2 p.m.) in the semifinals. The teams split in the regular season, each winning 13-10 on the other’s home field. The Flyers have taken both prior playoff meetings, including an 11-6 decision in the 2010 regional final.

The Yachtsmen feel they’re up for the challenge.

“We can get better,” Haley said. “We’ll have to. We have to keep it simple. This pressure’s off. Now we’ll just focus on the game. If we win, we’ll go on. If we lose, we’re done. It’s that simple. We’ll just have to do things the hard way.”

Greely wound up 6-6 and fourth in West-ern B after a 15-10 win over Freeport last week. Audrey Parolin scored five times and Julia Mitiguy and Paige Tuller both added three goals.

The girls’ lacrosse regional finals will be played on the field of the highest remaining seeds Wednesday. The Class B state game is Saturday, June 16 at 10 a.m., at Fitzpatrick Stadium.

(159-4). Buhelt came in third in the 100 (11.48). Follo was third in the two-mile (9:52.34). Ryan Tartre was fifth in the high jump (5-10). Pryzant placed fifth in the long jump (19-2.5) and seventh in the triple jump (38-10.5). Conor McGrory finished sixth in the two-mile (10:03.62). Polewaczyk placed seventh in the 200 (23.98). Spencer Brown was seventh in the 800 (2:03.13).

Falmouth’s 3,200 relay team (Colby Howland, Thomas Briggs, Edmonds and Brown) came in third (8:34.76).

“So many of our guys picked up key points,” said Paul. “Buhelt, Pryzant, Follo, as expected, then Polewaczyk, Burfeind, Kingry, Rogers, Tartre, McGrory, Edmonds, Spencer Brown, Howland. Overall, we scored more than we were seeded, but so did York. We have a truly positive and intensely competitive relationship with the (York team and coaches).

for both schools. Late in the meet, Conor McGrory passed (Mitchell) Finitz of York in the last 10 meters of the 3200. Without that, York wins by one. There were many moments like that all day.”

Greely was sixth with 42 points.The Rangers got a win from Nestor

Taylor in the 800 (1:59.67) and runner-up finishes from Nick Maynard in the long jump (19-10.5) and the 3,200 relay team (Liam Campbell, Nathan Madeira, Stefan Sandreuter and Taylor, 8:17.32).

Campbell came in third in the mile (4:35.19). Maynard was fourth in the triple jump (40-2). James Ferrar came in fourth in the shot put (44-8) and Madeira placed sixth in the mile (4:38.96).

“The boys competed well,” said Greely coach John Folan. “Nestor Taylor’s win in the 800 was a crowning point to his win the indoor 800 as well. James Ferrar in the shot was excellent. The boys’ distance crew in general were outstanding all day. Stefan Sandreuter, Nathan Madeira and Liam Campbell specifically. Nick Maynard continued his late-season excellence.

Yarmouth (12) finished in a four-way tie for 15th with Fryeburg, Mt. View and Nokomis.

Chris Knaub came in second in the jav-elin (176-3) and Ben Decker placed fourth in the two-mile (9:53.89).

The girls’ meet saw Greely post a solid 85 points, but that still left the Rangers sec-ond, a distant 60 points behind Waterville.

Abby Bonnevie won the pole vault with a top leap of 9-6.

Three Rangers, Gwen Sawyer in the shot put (34-11.5), Emily Saunders in the triple jump (34-10) and Kirstin Sandreuter in the two-mile (11:12.62), finished runners-up.

Also scoring as individuals were Sawyer (third in the discus, 100-8), Saunders (third in the high jump, 5-2; and seventh in the long jump, 15-2.5), Sandreuter (third in the mile, 5:13.20), Cassidy Storey (third in the shot put, 33-4; fifth in the discus, 97-2), Jessica Wilson (fourth in the 800, 2:24.62), Eva Bates (fourth in the two-mile, 11:36.90) and Catherine Fellows (sixth in the shot put, 32-5.25).

In the relays, the Rangers’ 3,200 quartet of Sarah Fitch, Bates, Melissa Jacques and Wilson placed third in 10:10.38, the 1,600 team (Jacques, Fitch, Wilson and Sara Schad) was also third (4:22.14) and the 400 squad (Kathleen McKersie, Sarah Ingraham, Madison McKenney and Hannah Keisman) came in seventh (53.62).

“We were very happy with our kids’ day,” said Folan. “Just about every girl was on point in her performance. But ultimately, you can’t beat a buzzsaw that is also at its best and that was Waterville. I’m very

proud of the girls. Even girls who did not figure into the scoring ran very well. Special kudos to Abby Bonnevie, Kirstin Sandreuter and Emily Saunders, who were off the charts in their events.”

Falmouth (34) points came in fifth.The Yachtsmen were paced by senior Jen-

na Serunian, who bowed out as champion of the discus (109-9) and shot put (37-9.5).

Also scoring were Charlotte Cutshall (fifth in the long jump, 15-8; seventh in the 100, 13.42), Nevada Horne (sixth in the pole vault, 8 feet), Catherine Hebson (seventh in the mile, 5:37.35) and the fourth-place 400 (Emily Rand, Emma Van Wickler, Jillian Rothweiler and Cut-shall, 52.6) and fifth-place 3,200 (Hebson, Madeline Roberts, Molly Paris and Denali Nalamalapu, 10:25.1) relays.

“The girls also placed overall higher than projected,” Paul said. “Jenna was terrific with her two wins and Charlotte Cutshall had a strong day. Our relays came through for the girls too. Emily Rand, Catherine Hebson, Molly Paris, Madeline Roberts, Denali Nalamalapu, Jena Mannette, Sarah Sparks and Olivia Hoch all contributed. Emma Van Wickler and Jillian Rothweiler both scored in the 400 relay. Waterville is amazing. The Greely girls would win lots of years with the team they have.”

Yarmouth tied Gray-New Gloucester for 21st place with 5.5 points.

Megan Smith tied Belfast’s Ally James for fourth in the pole vault (8-6) and Gina Roberts was sixth in the javelin (93-3).

At the Class C state meet in Augusta, the North Yarmouth Academy boys’ quest for a fifth title in seven seasons fell 2.5 points shy of fruition. The Panthers had 62 points, but Sacopee managed 64.5.

NYA got wins from Cam Rayder in the shot put (48-9.5) and its 400 relay team (Jake Burns, Michael McIntosh, Cam Re-gan and Nick Rayder, 46.39).

Burns came in third in the 300 hurdles (41.41) and fifth in the 110 hurdles (17.25). Rudy Guiliani was fourth in the mile (4:38.62) and fifth in the two-mile (10:13.93). Cam Rayder was fourth in the discus (125-1). Alex Coffin placed fifth in

Train had multiple hits.“We did what we set out to do during the

regular season, secure a first-round bye and homefield advantage for the quarterfinal and semifinal games,” said Greely coach Derek Soule. “Even though we were 15-1, we had plenty of close games and we learned that no matter who we play, we still have to play well to win.”

The Rangers will host either No. 8 Freeport (10-6) or No. 9 Cape Elizabeth (8-8) in Thursday’s quarterfinal round.

Greely beat both prospective playoff foes at home in the regular season, blanking the Capers, 8-0, April 30 and holding off the Falcons, 3-1, May 7.

The Rangers and Cape Elizabeth have met nine previous times in June, with Greely holding a 5-4 edge. The Capers took the most recent encounter, 4-3, in eight in-nings, in the 2010 semifinals.

The Rangers and Freeport have only met once prior in the postseason, a 1-0 Greely triumph in the 2004 preliminary round.

“We have a lot of big game experience on this team and I think our players can draw on that throughout the playoffs to emotionally deal with the single elimination format,” Soule said.

The Yachtsmen will host either No. 7 Lincoln Academy (10-5-1) or 10th-ranked Spruce Mountain (11-5) in Thursday’s quarterfinals. Falmouth didn’t play either team this year. The Yachtsmen have no his-tory with the Phoenix, but have met Lincoln Academy before in June, most recently in the 2010 quarterfinals (a 10-7 loss).

“We had a great regular season record, but that record doesn’t mean anything now,” said Winship. “Now, it comes down to execution, making plays, pitching and hitting the ball. I have no clue about (Lin-coln or Spruce Mountain) other than their record and Heal Points. We’ll go out and play baseball and do the little things we’ve done all year. The team chemistry is there. It’s a great group who wants to get better. We were six outs away from the regional final last year. A lot of last year’s kids are back and remember that. They want to get to the final.”

After losing an abundance of talent to graduation, not much was expected of Yarmouth this spring, but the Clippers managed to finish fourth with a 10-6 mark

after holding off visiting York, 2-1, in their regular season finale last Wednesday. Max Grimm drove in the winner, his 29th RBI of the year, a walkoff single in the seventh that drove in pinch-runner Kevin Haley. Bryce Snyder also had an RBI, while Chester Jacobs threw a six-hitter to earn his fourth victory.

Yarmouth posted double digit victories for the third year in a row, something the Clippers hadn’t managed since a six-year streak between 1991 and 1996.

“We’re pretty happy with how things all shook out,” said Yarmouth coach Marc Halsted. “With nine new starters this year, we expected some tough times, but the kids weathered the storms. An 0-2 start and some tough losses were happily overshad-owed by a 10-win season and wins over the top two teams in our league (Greely and Falmouth).

“I’ve been really happy with the play of some of our unsung heroes. (Catcher) Calvin Cooper finishes the year with only one passed ball and he’s thrown out 7-of-24

The Falcons are coming off their best season since 2003, going 10-6 to earn the No. 8 spot.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” said Freeport coach Hank Ogilby. “When you have the attitude where you think you can win, it just changes the whole dynamic. As opposed to showing up and trying not to get 10-run ruled, or hoping you might win, these guys show up really feeling they can win. It’s a different feeling and it’s fun.”

The Falcons split with Cape Elizabeth in the regular season, winning 7-3 on the road and falling 4-2 at home. The teams have no playoff history.

Falmouth stumbled a bit down the stretch, but still went 13-3 to post its best record in Class B and best in any class since 1999. The Yachtsmen closed last Tuesday with a 3-1 home loss to Gray-New Gloucester. Drew Proctor had four of the team’s six hits.

“We’re playing great baseball,” said Falmouth coach Kevin Winship. “They’re a great group of kids. They’ve worked hard since we started back in March. Our pitch-ing has been excellent. They’ve really kept us in ballgames. Defensively, everyone has stepped up. We’ve gotten big hits. At the start of the year, it was the top of the lineup. Then, the bottom of the lineup and now, it’s everybody.”

potential base stealers. Chester Jacobs and Nick Lainey finished with seven combined wins and Caleb Uhl finished with a .453 (on-base percentage) and stole 18 bases from the leadoff spot.”

The Clippers will host No. 5 Marana-cook (10-6) or 12th-ranked Leavitt (9-7) in Thursday’s quarterfinals. Yarmouth didn’t face either team this year, but has playoff history with both. The last time the Clip-pers faced the Black Bears in June, they beat them, 3-2, in eight innings, in the 2003 preliminary round. Yarmouth lost to Leavitt, 13-12, in nine innings, in the 1998 Western C quarterfinals.

“Playoff-wise, we’ll rely on the guys who got us there,” said Halsted. “Bryce Snyder, Eamon Costello and Tom Sullivan have 56 combined RBI and each have been strong defensively. We have a tough matchup with either Leavitt or Maranacook because we don’t know much about either team. I

don’t know when we’ll play, based on the weather, but I certainly hope we rise to meet the challenge.”

Playoff action continues Saturday with the semifinals, on the fields of the higher remaining seeds. The Western B Final is Wednesday (7 p.m.) of next week at St. Joseph’s College. The Class B state final is Saturday, June 16. Game time is 11 a.m., at Mansfield Stadium in Bangor.

SoftballThe local softball parade has been led

by Greely, which responded well to first-year coach and former Rangers legend Sarah Jamo (who, as Sarah Bennis, pitched Greely to its lone championship back in 2002). The Rangers ripped the cover off the ball nearly the whole spring and won 13 straight games before falling in the final, 3-1, to visiting Fryeburg last Wednesday. Edith Aromando drove in the run and Dani Cimino only allowed six hits, but Greely wound up 14-2.

“We’ve been hitting really well, but we kind of ran into some pitching today,” said

Jamo. “Good thing it happened before play-offs. Now what we know what we can work on going forward. It doesn’t really matter in the long run. That’s what we talked about. The pressure was off. We were playing a great team. Go out and have fun. It didn’t make or break our season. I’m really happy with the season we put together, We hit very well throughout the season and Dani pitched really well throughout the season too. Everything came together and we put a lot of wins together.”

The Rangers will host either No. 7 Cape Elizabeth (winners of seven straight and 13-3) or No. 10 Oak Hill (9-7). Greely held off the visiting Capers, 8-5, back on April 30. The Rangers don’t play the Raiders in the regular season.

Greely and Cape Elizabeth met in the 2006 and 2007 regional finals and the Capers won both games. The Rangers last played Oak Hill in their championship season of 2002, a 1-0 win in the semifinals.

“We’ll get back on the right track,” Jamo said. “We hope we have four more wins

in us.”Falmouth grabbed the 12th and final

spot in Western B after finishing 8-8. The Yachtsmen closed with an 8-1 home loss to Gray-New Gloucester last Wednesday and had to go to the 12-4 Patriots for a rematch in Tuesday’s preliminary round. Falmouth lost, 4-0, at Gray-New Gloucester back on May 2. The teams last met in the playoffs 10 years ago, a 4-1 Patriots’ triumph in the preliminary round.

Yarmouth finished with a 16-3 five inning home win over York. The Clippers finished 5-11 and 14th, but only 12 teams qualified.

Freeport wound up 6-10 and 15th.Playoff action continues Saturday with

the semifinals, on the fields of the higher remaining seeds. The Western B Final is Wednesday (3:30 p.m.) of next week at St. Joseph’s College. The Class B Final is Saturday, June 16. Game time is 3 p.m., at Brewer High School.

African languages, an asset in communicat-ing with many of the immigrants who come to the library.

Library administrators are thrilled to have Andrew as a volunteer.

“He’s kind, patient and smart,” said Linda Albert, director of human resources. “And he’s very concerned for others.”

Suzanne Duncan, technology supervi-sor, added “Andrew is always friendly, approachable and reliable.”

Why did 29-year-old Ndayambaje decide to leave a successful law career in his native country, and his mother and siblings – for whom he was the breadwinner – to move to Portland, Maine?

“I was active in the opposition party in my country," he said. "A situation which forced me to leave the country.” After seeking safety in neighboring countries, he decided to come to America, and he moved to Maine last August.

Ndayambaje requested, for the safety of his family, that the specific country not be identified.

Why Portland? “I had heard that Portland was a very welcoming community which would help me get settled,” he said.

Early in 2012, Ndayambaje turned to the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project for assistance. ILAP assigned a lawyer to pro-vide free assistance in his effort to obtain asylum. Greg Flame, founding partner of Taylor, McCormack and Flame, was de-lighted to be working with the young man.

“I enjoy Andrew immensely,” Flame said. “Although he’s gone through difficult

life experiences, he’s always positive. He constantly thanks me for what I’m doing, but I should be thanking him, because he’s so invigorating to be around.”

Ndayambaje will not get an answer to his application for asylum for a few more months. He can’t be officially employed until that situation is resolved. In the mean-time, he spends his time volunteering at the library, reading newspapers and magazines, and staying abreast of the political situation in America, in Africa, and around the world. He said he also enjoys working out at the YMCA and attending the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Portland.

Ndayambaje is also eager to give back to the community that has welcomed him so warmly. Through a friend, he was in-vited to give a talk on Africa to a class of sixth-grade students at Scarborough Middle School. His talk went well, he said, and the school wants him to do an encore.

While Ndayambaje’s asylum status re-mains up in the air, he’s firmly committed to his adopted city and state. “Portland is a great city,” he says, “The people live easily with each other. People are always helpful, when I ask directions or advice.”

It’s difficult for someone not in Ndayam-baje’s situation to imagine what it would be like to leave one’s family, work and homeland behind to start a new life in a new land. It’s also hard to imagine anyone meeting this challenge with more optimism, determination and grace than Ndayambaje.

“I’ve had to make some sacrifices,” he admitted. "But I can adapt. Life is good when you feel safe.”

Bus petitionfrom page 1


FOAA request nets Falmouth e-mail list

the petition.One Middle Road resident said the

man gathering signatures – not Doyle – told her that signing the petition would allow the town of Falmouth to purchase a smaller bus and give the town more control over expenditures.

The resident signed the petition, but later said she would not have signed it had she known its intent was to end the bus service.

“I had absolutely no idea what I was signing because he said sign here and it would help save the bus,” she said.

Winslow Road resident Amy MacDon-ald said the signature gatherer asked her if she wanted to sign a petition to stop the bus. “I asked, why would I want to do that, I just took the bus this morning,” MacDonald said.

George Burns, spokesman for the Friends of the Falmouth Flyer, a bus ad-vocacy group, said the trouble with the misinformation is that some signers likely would not have given their support if they knew the petition’s intent.

“I know a couple of people personally and they’re responsible, clear-thinking people and they were among those who signed under a misunderstanding of the intent,” he said. “The implication is pretty strong that they would not have signed if they knew what they were signing.”

Doyle would not identify the signature gatherer or where he lives. He said he did not instruct the man to say the petition would maintain bus service.

“If he is saying it, it’s probably a mis-

FALMOUTH — Shady Lane resi-dent Michael Doyle’s latest Freedom of Access Act request has provided him with all of the e-mail addresses subscribed to the town website and its electronic news and advisory service.

The town sent an e-mail notice on May 31 notifying subscribers that their e-mail addresses would be among 3,129 addresses released to Doyle.

“A Falmouth resident, Michael Doyle, recently submitted a Freedom of Access request for specific public records,” the statement said. “State of Maine law requires the Town to make available public records unless the records are determined to be exempt and not defined as a public record.”

This request to the town is the most recent in a long string of Freedom of Access requests by Doyle over the past two years.

Town Manager Nathan Poore said he is not sure why Doyle wanted the e-mail addresses and that the town is not allowed to ask. He also said that in

the past two years Doyle has submit-ted between 100 and 200 Freedom of Access requests.

Doyle, in an interview, said he is not sure what he wants to do with the information, either.

Poore said the town is open to taking calls from residents concerned about the release of their e-mail address. He also said that the town cannot remove people from the e-mail list.

“He sent out a fairly widely distrib-uted notice over the weekend at some point and we’ve got 30 or 40 residents that I was copied on asking to be taken off his e-mail list,” Poore said. “I sus-pect there’s going to continue to be requests, and we can’t take people’s names off his list; this is Mr. Doyle sending the e-mails, not the town of Falmouth.”

In its statement last week, the town advised residents if e-mails from Doyle are unwelcome, they should treat them as they would other spam messages.

— Amber Cronin

take,” Doyle said.Doyle also refused to discuss whether

he is paying the collector for signatures, another point of contention with bus supporters, although the practice is legal.

Town Clerk Ellen Planer said the man collecting signatures is believed to be a Portland resident hired as a subcontractor by Doyle.

Megan Sanborn, of the secretary of state’s office, confirmed the legality of the arrangement. “There’s no prohibition in the election law that restricts payment to petition circulators,” she said.

Residents also reported that, when asked, the circulator avoided identifying who was paying him to collect signa-tures.

“I asked him who hired you to do this and he was very evasive,” McDonald said. “I asked if it was Doyle and he said ‘I don’t know, it was somebody in Falmouth government.’”

Other residents said the man told them that Town Councilors Tony Payne, Fred Chase and Faith Varney were sponsoring the petition and that he was being paid by the lawyer who drafted the petition for them.

Payne and Chase both denied involve-ment with the petition.

Payne said his involvement with the issue ended last fall when the council de-cided to continue the bus service. Chase said that although Doyle asked for his support, he declined.

“I’m not involved at all,” Chase said. “I could see what was coming.”

Varney could not be reached for com-ment.

Doyle has registered for a table at Fal-mouth High School during the June 12 election to continue gathering signatures. According to Planer, in order to get a referendum on the ballot in November, Doyle must collect 842 signatures before the petition is submitted in October.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

Electionfrom page 4

James Moulton in his re-election bid for the SAD 51 Board of Directors. Voters will also decide on the district's budget.

YarmouthFour candidates are seeking three, three-

year terms on the School Committee. In-cumbent and current Chairman David Ray is joined on the ballot by incumbent Craig Wolff, former School Committee member Tim Wheaton and newcomer Susan Garrett.

The complexion of the Town Council will change, but the candidates seeking two seats with three-year terms and one seat with a one-year term are unopposed in their bids.

Veteran Councilors Carlton Winslow and Erving H. "Erv" Bickford had decided against seeking new terms. Bickford died May 12 after a long illness. Councilor Tim Sanders resigned after serving two years of his first term in office.

Bickford will be replaced on the Yarmouth Water District by Walter A. An-derson, who is unopposed for a three-year term as trustee.

Yarmouth residents will also vote on the $20.16 million school budget.

Chebeague IslandThree people are running uncontested for

three open seats on the Board of Selectmen. Former Selectman Donna Damon is seeking a three-year seat currently held by Chris Rich; incumbent David Hill is running for another three-year term.

Mark Dyer, who resigned from the Board of Selectmen last October, is running to complete the final year of John Martin's

unexpired term. He has not disclosed why he resigned last year.

Jennifer Belesca is unopposed for another term on the School Committee. Residents will also vote on a nearly $919,000 school budget.

U.S. SenateThe Senate seat soon to be vacated by

Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, is the most candidate-heavy of any of the races.

State Sen. Cynthia Dill of Cape Eliza-beth, former Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap of Old Town, state Rep. Jon Hinck and homebuilder Justin B. Pollard, both of Portland, are vying for the Democratic nomination.

The Republican primary is even more crowded, with former Senate President Richard Bennett of Oxford, former Lisbon Falls Selectman Scott D'Amboise, state Sen. Debra Plowman of Hampden, state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin of Georgetown, Attorney General William Schneider of Durham, and Secretary of State Charles Summers Jr. of Scarborough hoping to seek Snowe's coveted seat in November.

There are no Green candidates on the

ballot.The winners of the Democratic and Re-

publican primaries will face opposition in November from a handful of independent candidates: former Gov. Angus King of Brunswick, conservative activist Andrew Ian Dodge of Harpswell, Yarmouth Town Council Chairman Steve Woods and Bruns-wick resident Danny Dalton.

U.S. HouseIncumbent U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree,

D-North Haven, is unchallenged in her party primary. Republicans Patrick Calder, a Portland merchant marine, and state Sen-ate Majority Leader Jonathan Courtney of Springvale oppose each other for the Republican nomination in the 1st Congres-sional District.

CountyIncumbent John B. O'Brien of Portland

faces a primary challenge from fellow Democrat Nancy K. Thurber of Falmouth to retain his job as Cumberland County register of probate.

Bill Shane.Shane said the ordinance requires a road

to be warrantied – via a letter of credit through the road developer's bank – for two years. If, for example, a culvert or section of road should fail, money would be avail-able to repair those or any other defects that occur on a newly-accepted road within two years.

Yarmouth meetingfrom page 1


that took about 15 minutes of the 45-min-ute discussion and voting on the warrant.

In what was often a lone show of dissent, Councilor Tim Sanders voted against most of the 20 articles covering education spending.

If the school budget passes Tuesday, property owners can expect an increase

in the tax rate from $20.28 per $1,000 of assessed value to $21.15 to cover $32 million of education and municipal spending.

A major change in school operations, where spending would increase by about 1.85 percent, will be the introduction of full-day kindergarten classes in the fall.

Additional town spending of $271,000 is largely for the town’s share of other-wise state-funded repairs to Route 88.

The hour-long meeting began with a

tribute to Erving H. “Erv” Bickford, who was awarded the 2012 Latchstring Award for his leadership and commitment to the town.

Bickford, who served as a town coun-cilor for 24 of the last 34 years, died May 12 after a long illness.

Councilor Carl Winslow read the reso-lution naming Bickford the recipient of

the award, adding the choice this year was an easy one.

“There was no doubt in my mind as to who deserved the honor,” Winslow said.

Bickford’s wife, Lynn Bickford, and his daughters Tamson Bickford Hamrock and Susan Bickford, accepted the posthu-mous award.

Falmouth Councilfrom page 5

passing the buck.“I think it's a cheap way of dealing

with the issue," Rodden said. "It's a way of ducking responsibility. You need to have more time on the issue.”

Councilor Will Armitage responded by saying that the creation of the sunset provision would be a way for the Com-munity Development Committee to say to the council that there is more work to be done.

“It isn't that the CDC wanted to pass the buck,” he said. “It was that we rec-

ognize the fact that the overlay district, or the ordinance the way it was, covering the entire town, was too much and that by creating the overlay district, we could address the specific issue of how to deal with this backlog of work. The sunset provision was an effort to say to this council and the CDC, (going forward) there's more work that needs to be done.”

Payne said that without the sunset clause, the creation of a Water View Overlay District gets back to basic prop-erty rights and is a civil matter, not a gov-ernment one, and suggested that there be no action taken without the sunset clause.

Councilor Fred Chase disagreed. If the

Water View Overlay District is not cre-ated, he said, the rest of the town would be held hostage.

“As we stand right now, we're holding two-thirds of the town hostage and we need to do something about that,” he said. “We need to release the town somehow. It's long overdue.”

Councilors rejected the sunset provi-sion by a vote of 4-2; Armitage and Payne were in the minority. The vote to create the Water View Overlay District was 5-0, with Armitage abstaining; Rod-den recused herself.

Armitage, who is leaving the council, said the council should not approve the

district because without the sunset clause, it becomes a private property issue and the council should repeal the ordinance.

“As one of my last acts, I feel strongly that this is a private property rights dis-pute and we shouldn't be doing this,” he said. “We should have a sunset clause.”

In other business, councilors approved victualers licenses for 51 businesses in town; the use of temporary signs by busi-nesses, and supplemental appropriation of $40,500 from the unassigned fund bal-ance to cover overlay deficiencies.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

With nearly $139,000 coming from the state – about $8,400 less than the town received for fiscal 2012 – the net school budget for fiscal 2013 would be about $662,000, a 0.4 percent decrease.

nated lakes and streams."She added that untested chemicals

lurk "in things that we wear, touch, eat, breathe, and drink. They are in packag-ing. We cannot get away from them. This issue affects us all."

Carothers, whose parents succumbed to cancer in her 20s and early 30s, said "I wondered about why they got cancer ...

so that's a big motivation for me, to kind of understand what can we do to keep us all healthier. ... When I got pregnant, (I wondered) 'what am I eating, how is it going to affect this growing baby?'"

Lautenberg's site says the act would provide the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency with sufficient information to judge the safety of a chemical. Manu-facturers would have to create and submit a "minimum data set" for every chemical they provide.

The act would also prioritize chemicals

according to risk; require quick action to address those chemicals causing the highest risk; ensure that all chemicals on the market meet a safety threshold; allow for open access to reliable information on chemicals, and promote the develop-ment and innovation of safe chemical alternatives.

Tracy Gregoire of Topsham, another of the bus-riding group, coordinates the Maine Healthy Children's Project, which was formed in 2003 to address the links between learning disabilities and toxic

chemicals in the environment."We focus on educating families about

toxic chemicals in products, in the home and in the workplace," she said last week.

Gregoire called the trip "incredible," adding that "I would hop on a bus and do it all over again. ... It was an amazing group of women that were really engaged and passionate about this issue."Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

and principal will remain flat next year, has said the gross budget increase reflects the added tuition costs of sending more Che-beague students to Yarmouth.

Last year, Chebeague authorized the gradual transition of its elementary school students to Yarmouth schools, instead of sending them to School Administrative District 51 (Cumberland-North Yarmouth).

Under his contract, Dyer's salary will increase 6 percent, from $50,000 this year

to $53,000 in fiscal 2013.Among non-budget articles will be one

calling for the creation of a Shellfish Con-servation Ordinance. The shellfish-related sections of the existing Coastal Waters Ordinance would be repealed, creating two separate ordinances and clarifying the dis-tinction between the Shellfish Conservation and Coastal Waters commissions.

This will be the first Town Meeting that will not include election of town officials.
