Advocates say teachers, not restraint law, must changeBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — Proponents of recent changes to Maine law governing physical restraint and seclusion of students say a legisla-tive attempt to loosen the restric-

tions are the result of a lack of understanding.

At a Statehouse public hearing held Feb. 20, other parents and educators demonstrated support for LD 243, proposed by Sen.

Tom Saviello, R-Wilton, which seeks to loosen the guidelines.

“I am really disappointed that teachers think that using restraint is the answer to challenging be-havior,” said Deb Davis, a disabil-

ity rights advocate and Falmouth parent. “One of the last things they talked about at the public tes-timony was all these suggestions to use positive alternatives instead of restraint and asking how you

could do that in this economic cli-mate. We can’t afford to train our teachers properly on restraint, but we will instead restrain (students). I find that unsettling.”

Deferring public works construction gains tractionBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — City councilors are getting used to the idea a new headquarters for the public works, transportation and parks and recreation depart-

ments will cost at least $19.5 million.

With that in mind, a sugges-tion that gained support during a two-hour council workshop Monday on the proposed High-

land Avenue facility is asking voters in November to OK bor-rowing $17.5 million, then de-laying construction until spring 2016 to soften the bond’s impact on property tax rates.

Mayor Tom Blake and Coun-cilor Al Livingston said they are not sure that this is the year to ask voters for a 20-year bond that Finance Director Greg L’Heureux estimated will carry

$7.3 million in interest pay-ments at 4 percent.

“I think I’m the odd man out. I kind of feel this November is

Quarantine continues at Scarborough pet store

quarantine continues at the Little Paws pet store on Payne Road after a second puppy tested positive for a potentially life-threaten-ing illness last week.

Budget guidance sends S.P. officials ‘back to the drawing board’By David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — At the end of a joint workshop Wednes-day with City Councilors and School Board members, Mayor Tom Blake tried to coax a smile from City Manager Jim Gailey.

But given a council framework to hold the line a property tax in-crease for the combined budgets for schools, municipal operations and Cumberland County, Gailey and School Superintendent Su-zanne Godin were more likely to grit their teeth.

With Councilor Patti Smith ab-sent, five councilors let Gailey and Godin know a 2 percent property tax increase is the goal, including debt service for the renovation and construction at South Portland High School.

A 2 percent tax increase would add 34 cents to the current prop-erty tax rate of $16.50 per $1,000 of assessed value, and 18 cents of that is needed for debt service. The city share of county op-erations is expected to increase 4 cents, leaving Gailey and Godin to evenly split 12 cents.

The municipal share of 6 cents is a third of what Gailey said he needs to fund a proposed prelimi-nary municipal budget of nearly $29.2 million, drafted with the

expectation the city will continue to receive $1.8 million in state revenue sharing.

His preliminary, 3.23 percent, 18-cent mil rate increase for mu-nicipal operations would boost property tax revenues to $17.8 million from the current $17.2 million.

Given the Legislature is still working on the biennial budget and has not decided if Gov. Paul LePage’s proposal to suspend the revenue sharing of sales and in-come taxes will be enacted, coun-cilors said they are aware Gailey and Godin face a lot of unknowns and short deadlines for fiscal year 2014 budgets.

Gailey will present the munici-pal budget to the council March 18. He said he expects expendi-tures to increase by 2.1 percent, including a projected 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase for mu-nicipal employees and an increase of more than $200,000 in health insurance premiums.

Godin came with fewer details about the school budget, but did have more encouraging financial news, based on preliminary es-timates of Maine Department of Education subsidies for next year.

“An all natural, quick service cafe”

Former Portland restaurateurs bring Enio’s to South PortlandBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — At some point, Laura Butler would like to get down to business instead of making mul-tiple trips to the hardware store.

Her opportunity should come soon, when she and her husband, Robert Butler, open Enio’s at 347 Cottage Road.

Located in the former Buttered Biscuit, Enio’s is named after Laura Butler’s fa-ther. The restaurant, with a Tuscan flair, will be a return to the greater Portland dining scene for the Butlers.

“I’m sure it will be like riding a bike for us,” Laura Butler said. “We were familiar with the building and neighbor-

hood, and I think Portland is saturated.”The couple owned Rachel’s Grill

(named for Robert’s grandmother), first on Exchange Street and then in Wood-ford’s Corner in Portland for almost 15 years. The latter location is what they will try to recapture in the new restaurant on Meetinghouse Hill.

“We want to pick up where we left off,” Robert Butler said.

The Buttered Biscuit was owned by Audrey and Byron Castro for almost a decade, until the couple decided it was time to do something else. They closed the meals-to-go business at the end of January.

Robert and Laura Butler plan to open Enio’s next week in the former

Buttered Biscuit at 347 Cottage Road in South Portland. The couple

formerly owned Rachel’s Grill in Portland.

Broadway repaving project has implications

SOUTH PORTLAND — Resurfacing of Broadway from Cottage Road to Pick-ett Street could alter traffic patterns this

summer and for five years will prevent abutting homeowners from making utility improvements requiring Broadway to be excavated.

City Planning Director Tex Haeuser said the work will be discussed from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, at the Southern Maine Community College Culinary Arts Building.

In a letter sent Monday to Broadway property owners, Haueser said there is a June 15 deadline to apply for permits requiring street excavation.

A resurfacing project on Broadway from Cash Corner to Lincoln Street will also create a five-year moratorium on excavations, but Haeuser did not specify a deadline for property owners in that area to apply for permits.

News briefs

The Butlers empathized, even as they were pleased to find a spot to get back into business.

“We felt same way when we got out three years ago,” Robert Butler said.

The couple moved to Florida and con-tinued to work in the restaurant business, and the urge to have their own place never left them.

They answered an ad on Craigslist for a

restaurant for sale, and Laura Butler said they did not realize it was the Buttered Biscuit until Byron Castro called them.

The Butlers, who now live in Cape Elizabeth, have set about creating a neighborhood place with with seating for 36 – hence, the trips to the hardware store – and want to achieve the same neighbor-hood connection the Castros enjoyed.

New hope for JFK aircraft carrier berthBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Two years after the city turned away the USS John F. Kennedy – and more than 20 years after the ship last dropped anchor in Portland Harbor – a small volunteer group believes the decom-missioned aircraft carrier can still make its permanent berth in Portland.

The group called the USS John F. Ken-nedy Museum has been working since 2009. And it’s taking some unusual tacks to achieve its goal.

After competing with the Rhode Island Aviation Hall of Fame for rights to the U.S. Navy ship, the museum is now backing Rhode Island’s bid. “The goal is, one way or another, to have the JFK in New Eng-land,” museum founder and board member Richard Fitzgerald said.

But if the Navy isn’t satisfied that Rhode

Crescent Beach lease talks continue, another deadline on horizonBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — State lawmakers passed a supplemental budget last week and removed language seen as restrictive to the Crescent Beach State Park lease negotiations.

Now, the state and corporation that owns most of the land must agree on the financial details.

The budget allows the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Conservation to complete a lease for the park with the Sprague Corp. without first receiving leg-islative approval. This freedom was seen as a key to allow the state to continue to

operate the park.While it’s still unknown if a deal will be

reached, Seth Sprague, president of Sprague Corp., said he is continuing to meet with department officials and hopes to reach an agreement by the April 24 deadline.

“We’re both thinking this is going to be successful,” Sprague said Wednesday. “We’re working on it and expecting to make that deadline.”

The cost of the lease is the next step in the process, which is what stalled the pro-cess last summer.

The state’s previous 50-year lease, signed for $1 in 1960, expired in 2010. Since then,

the state has paid $10,000 annually for one-year extensions.

Sprague Corp. owns 100 acres of the 187-acre park, including the entrance, toll booth and most of the parking lot.

It’s still not clear how much the state will pay to extend the lease, but it will be more than past leases, Sprague said previously.

How a more expensive lease would affect the operation of the park, its visitor fees and staffing is also still unknown.

Early in the lease negotiations last year, the state indicated it wanted to buy the land from Sprague, but the company was not interested in selling.

Although the state didn’t assess the prop-erty at that time, a town assessment valued the property at about $8 million.

State officials see the park as an essential piece in the state park system. Because of its popularity – more than 110,000 visitors a year – it is one of the largest revenue-generating parks in the state and plays a crucial role in funding the $7 million state park general fund.

Pulling that revenue from the state park system could jeopardize all parks in the state, officials said previously.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_c_Graff.

Island has a suitable harbor, financial re-sources or public support for the 46-year-old “Big John,” Portland would have another opportunity to present a bid – this time, aided by its former competitor.

Siting a mothballed carrier involves a long, multi-phase selection process. But with talks between the Navy and Rhode

Island unsuccessful so far, Portland’s op-portunity could happen in as soon as six months, according to Fitzgerald.

“Basically, we may get another ‘at bat’ soon,” he said.

In another unusual move, Fitzgerald is working to win support for his initiative from a similar museum in California.

Earlier this month, he purchased a rare

Regional meeting to address declining clam populationBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — Casco Bay com-munities are being invited to a regional meeting that will discuss the alarming decline in clam population.

Biologists and clammers have said soft-shell clams, in particular, have been declining over the past decade due to predatory crab species and ocean acidi-fication.

The purpose of the March 7 meeting is to bring representatives from Scarbor-ough to Phippsburg together to begin dis-cussing a regional approach to shellfish conservation, Brunswick Marine Patrol Officer Dan Devereaux said.

“What we’re hoping to do is try to talk about a regional approach to conservation measures and management measures as they pertain to soft-shell clams,” De-vereaux said. “We’re trying to reach an audience outside of the fishermen and

more towards the elected officials and town managers so they can understand the issues we’re facing.”

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the municipal meeting room at Brunswick Station on Station Avenue.

Devereaux said he will moderate the discussion, but he also will be joined by Chad Coffin, president of the Maine Clammers Assocation, for a presentation on the situation. He said the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership along with a other nonprofit organizations will discuss their recent conservation projects.

Devereaux said he hopes the meet-ing will serve as a kick-off for a greater discussion about regional conservation measures.

The conservation measures can vary in scope and work, Devereaux said, ranging from setting local bounties on the green

Candidates bring varied experience to City Council electionBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — Candidates in the March 12 special election for a District 1 city councilor span the spectrum of politi-cal experience.

Polls will be open at the Community Cen-ter from 7 a.m.-8 p.m., and voters through-out the city can choose from School Board Chairman Richard Carter, Planning Board member Robert Schreiber, Energy and Re-cycling Committee member Robert Foster III and political neophyte Michael Pock.

The candidates seek to fill the seat va-cated by former Councilor Tom Coward, who resigned Dec. 31 after he was elected to the Cumberland County Commission. Coward’s replacement will serve through November 2014 in the district that includes Willard Square and Ferry Village.

Carter, 50, is a retail manager who lives at 36 Thompson St. He is in his ninth year on the School Board, and has served four years as chairman and three years as vice chairman. He and his wife, Karen, have two grown sons.

Schreiber, 47, who lives at 209 Stanford St., is an insurance and annuity specialist for AAA. He is married to Susan Stewart. Schreiber has served terms on the Planning Board since 2009 and is a former board chairman. He also served on the city Com-prehensive Plan Committee.

Foster, 64, was appointed to the Energy and Recycling Committee last July. He lives at 206 Front St. with his wife, Melissa; they have four grown children. After retiring from the U.S. Marine Corps, Foster has worked a variety of jobs, including restau-rant and retail management and insurance sales.

Pock, 66, a U.S. Navy veteran, described himself as a “carpenter and handyman.” He and his wife, Faith, have two grown daughters, and he is in his first campaign for public office.

Council elections are nonpartisan, but Pock is also treasurer of the city Republican Committee.

Richard CarterCarter said he had already decided this

would be his last term on the School Board, but still has a desire to serve the city.

“With Tom moving on, the time was perfect,” he said.

Carter said the most pressing demand for councilors is preparing budgets, although the Legislature will ultimately play a role in how much money there is to spend.

“The immediate thing is the budget, it is the elephant in the room,” he said. He wouldn’t speculate about potential effects of the state biennial budget, but vowed to seek a balance between maintaining ser-vices and an affordable tax rate.

Carter said he supports building a new facility for the Public Works, Transporta-tion and Parks and Recreation departments.

“We need to educate the public about the need for the project and how the financing will take place,” he said.

To encourage economic growth, Carter said he would first try to find out if the needs of existing businesses are met.

He said progress has been made in the working relationship between the council and School Board, and traced the process to joint advocacy for the $41.3 high school renovation bond passed in 2010.

Robert Foster IIIFoster, who has lived in the city for about

20 years, said he is committed to reducing the city’s carbon footprint and keeping taxes affordable. He also said he also wants more active City Council.

“I think the biggest thing is the amount of time it takes for an issue to actually come to a vote. I understand you really have to check all the facts, but in the past, it has taken an inordinate amount of time and energy to get to the bottom line,” he said.

Foster supports a new Public Works facility.

“I think the need is definitely there. I have worked in situations similar to what these guys are facing,” he said.

In funding education, Foster said he wants to ensure student needs are met first, even if it means reductions in administra-tive staff.

“It’s always the teachers that suffer, and that leads to the students suffering,” Foster said.

Foster agreed with Carter that economic development requires attention to existing businesses, and added the city needs more jobs that pay sufficiently.

“You make existing businesses happier, you attract new businesses,” he said.

Foster vowed a direct approach if he wins. “My wife says I’m short and sweet,” he said.

Michael PockPock, a 40-year city resident, summa-

rized his candidacy as one of “new faces, new ideas and old standards.”

The “old standard” refers to fiscal re-sponsibility, he said, which he hopes to emphasize.

Agreeing the current budget climate is challenging, Pock said the city and School Department should first look at using available reserves to maintain operations and shifting the perspective to zero-based budgeting.

“They say they are saving for a rainy

Canadian official brings ‘facts’ about tar sandsBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Although there still isn’t a formal proposal to pipe “tar sands” from Alberta, Canada, to Portland Harbor, the province sent a delegation Monday to counter critics of the practice.

Diana McQueen, the Alberta minister of environment and sustainable resource development, visited the city to meet with lawmakers and discuss the province’s ex-periences with tar sands and its strategy for environmental management.

“When there’s a policy that affects the use of Alberta (tar) sands, it’s important that people have the facts,” McQueen said.

Alberta is home to the world’s third-largest proven reserve of oil, and nearly all of it is tar sands, a sludge-like mixture of sand, oil, clay and an oil known as bitumen.

Some environmental advocates say Ca-nadian energy company Enbridge intends to pump tar sands 236 miles through the 72-year-old Portland-Montreal Pipeline.

But because it is more corrosive than other forms of crude oil, the advocates claim, the thick goo could damage the pipeline and endanger water resources, including Sebago Lake and Casco Bay.

Environmentalists also claim that increasing the extraction, refining and eventual use of tar sands will increase greenhouse gas emissions and be a di-sastrous “game-changer” for the earth’s climate.

Dangers like these drew hundreds of people to Portland streets in protest last month, and led the City Council to con-sider – but ultimately table – a proposal to ban the city’s use of fuel derived from tar sands.

At a breakfast meeting Monday at the Portland Regency Hotel, McQueeen said Alberta tar sands account for only a tiny percentage of greenhouse gas, and that the province has stringent industry regulations and monitoring protocols to minimize the danger of pipeline leaks.

“Developing (tar) sands is important to

Alberta, but what’s equally important is our environment,” she said.

But industry regulations can do little to clean up a tar-sands spill, according to City Councilor Dave Marshall, who chairs the Transportation, Energy and Sustainability Committee that drafted the council’s proposed ban.

In the event of a spill in a body of water, the heavy oil would sink to the bottom, where it would be almost impos-sible to remove, he said. Unlike oil spills of light crude oil, “you can’t boom it, you can’t skim it, you can’t evaporate it away.

“My concern is that we don’t have the technology to clean it up, “ said Marshall, who was one of about a dozen people invited by the Consulate General of Canada to New England to meet with McQueen. “You can put the responsibil-ity on industry to do that, but you’re still going to have a polluted body of water.”

Marshall mentioned a much-publicized 2010 pipeline burst that spilled mil-lions of gallons of tar-sands oil into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan. But that spill was unique and largely the result of operator error, said Tristan Sangret, another Alberta official at the meeting.

In response to a question from state Sen. James Boyle, D-Gorham, San-gret also explained that because tar sands are diluted and processed be-

fore they are transported, they’re no more corrosive than other crude oil.

“Basically, by the time (tar sands) leave the plant gate,” he said, “they’re a diluted heavy oil that meets pipeline specs.”

Sangret also said that a study released Monday by Penspen Integrity, a British pipeline company, was new proof that tar sands are no more corrosive than other crudes.

As the meeting wound up, McQueen urged Mainers to see the big picture when it came to the use of tar sands.

“The world is looking for energy from responsible (oil) producers,” she said. “If not Alberta, then someone else is going to be doing it. ... Is it fair to say to other countries that they can’t have what we have?

“Alberta has stepped up to the plate,” she continued. “I challenge other juris-dictions to (produce oil) as well, with as much transparency, as we have.”

But Marshall said he, too, is looking at the big picture.

“We’ve reached a point where our addiction to fossil fuels will ensure the destruction of the planet,” he said. “I don’t see that as sustainable for future generations.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or whall@

Simplification is goal of Portland-area public transit surveyBy William Hall

PORTLAND — The area’s public transit providers are conducting an online survey to find ways of improving com-munications with riders.

It’s an initial step in a process that may ultimately create a single, common logo identifying bus stops and other transit locations.

The survey asks riders and non-riders a short series of questions about the transit providers’ websites, schedules and promotional materials, as well as about ticketing and transfers.

The survey is being coordinated by the Portland Area Comprehensive Transpor-tation System and the Greater Portland Council of Governments, with participa-tion by Casco Bay Lines, METRO, the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority, the Regional Transporta-tion Program, ShuttleBus-ZOOM, the South Portland Bus Service and the York County Community Action Corporation.

Each transit provider is sharing the survey through email and its own online communications, and the deadline for responding is Friday, GPCOG Transit and Energy Planner Jennifer Puser said.

“The survey will help shape a plan whose ultimate goal is to improve service for everyone,” Puser said. “There are a lot of different (transit) providers, and

if you’re a rider, you don’t always know how to get from point A to point B.”

Two focus groups were recently con-ducted to gather additional opinions, according to Puser. Representatives of PACTS and GPCOG staff will use the input to draft a marketing plan by the end of March.

“We’re looking at what are the oppor-tunities for a common brand, whether that means having one website, a com-mon logo or a single color scheme,” she said. “It’s really about how can we tie things together so people can get where they’re going.”

While the survey does not focus on how transit providers might work to-gether to improve their operations, there’s still much that can be done to improve their communications.

“What’s struck me so far is that ... people who aren’t riding would like to, but don’t necessarily know about im-provements such as buying tickets online, or making transfers,” Puser said. “What we have is good, but we can build on it.”

Together, the seven transit providers that participate in PACTS carry millions of riders each year, including 2.7 million along bus routes – a 59 percent increase since 2005, according to PACTS.William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or [email protected].

Southern Maine YMCA adjusting its focusBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — When most people think of the YMCA, they probably see images of a fitness center. But that vi-sion will soon change as the organization switches its focus to a more rounded ap-proach to wellness.

According to Helen Brena, chief ex-ecutive officer of the YMCA of Southern Maine, clubs across the country are start-ing to look at more than just the fitness aspect of individual well being. She said YMCAs are now starting to look at nine different dimensions of wellness: health, achievement, belonging, relationships, meaning, safety, character, giving and inspiration.

“(We know) that for some of our

programs we have in the past addressed all of the different areas and those are some of our most successful programs,” Brena said. “Through our Healthy Living Committee, we are deciding to be more intentional in focusing on these nine di-mensions in everything we do.”

The YMCA of Southern Maine is in the early stages of implementing a change to this more-focused approach to wellness.

Brena said it has asked members to complete a survey on how the Y has in-fluenced them; the responses will be used to create new programming. She also said the organization is examining all existing programming to ensure that it fits within the new parameters.

SMCC reopens after bomb threatBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — Southern Maine Community College reopened at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25, and classes resumed at 4 p.m. after police respond-ing to a bomb threat found no explosive devices on the campus.

The search was conducted after a caller told South Portland campus security three bombs were hidden on school grounds. The 8:42 a.m. call forced the closure and evacuation of SMCC campuses in South Portland, Brunswick and Bath.

South Portland Fire Department Lt. Robb Couture said the caller spoke in a disguised voice and mentioned no loca-tions for the bombs. Eight K-9 teams, and Portland, South Portland, SMCC police and Maine State Police troopers searched the campus through the early afternoon. Firefighters from Portland and South Portland were also on the scene.

Couture spoke at a campus parking lot press conference about two hours after the threats, and said the situation had changed from an active emergency to a precaution-ary evacuation. Students who subscribe to a reverse-call system were alerted to the closure, and traffic continued to flow away from the campus on Broadway for about two hours after the call was received.

Couture called the evacuation orderly and said college staff and city authorities have a collaborative emergency plan that is rehearsed.David harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @Davidharry8.

Media snooping, not public good, was motive for editorialBy Rep. Corey Wilson

In the wake of the Bangor Daily News sending letters to police departments across the state, demanding the names, addresses, and birth dates of all holders of concealed handgun permits in Maine, citizen activists and Repub-lican leaders have spoken out in support of making that personal identifying information confidential.

Meanwhile, the news media has made clear their op-position.

Last week’s editorial, “Informa-tion Doesn’t Kill People,” listed 22 randomly-chosen items that are part of the public record, subject to Maine’s Freedom of Access Act. The point was that by default, every record and meeting in state and local government is subject to the FOAA.

What the editorial didn’t sample was the 483 excep-tions to the FOAA. That’s right, written into statute are 483 government records that can’t be obtained by the public. They include many measures that concern personal privacy and public safety, just like my bill to keep the personal identifying information of concealed handgun permit holders confidential, and the governor’s bill enacted last week to do so on a temporary basis while my bill goes through the public hearing and committee process in Judiciary.

Last week’s vote was to enact FOAA exception No. 484. With it, Maine joined 35 other states that keep the personal information of concealed handgun permit hold-

ers confidential.What other parts of the public record fall into an excep-

tion? The names of General Assistance recipients are an example. It doesn’t seem right that taxpayers can’t find out who is receiving their money in the form of welfare benefits, but anybody can find out if you hold a concealed handgun permit.

What disturbs me so much about the news media’s outcry over this legislation is not the fact that they’re bash-

ing a fairly common type of law – a FOAA exception – that was enacted with sweeping bipartisan support, 129-11 in the House and 33-0 in the Senate, as a temporary measure. No, what disturbs me is that unlike other issues they take an editorial stance on, here they

have self-interest.Broader access to public records makes the media’s job

easier, and so naturally they come to the defense of public records. But Maine people have other concerns that must be balanced. With the second highest rate of gun owner-ship in the country, Mainers are skeptical of organizations or individuals poring through their personal information, which happened to be publicly available until last week, in order to compile data on a controversial topic that could be used to thwart gun owners’ rights.

Mainers are also concerned that if they go through the trouble to obtain a concealed handgun permit, their tacti-cal advantage in personal protection may be jeopardized

by the public availability of that information. What’s the point of concealed-carry if anyone can know you carry? And yes, there is the concern of firearms theft, a concern flippantly dismissed by the editorial as, essentially, “crimi-nals are too dumb to think of that.”

I hope they’re right, but I’d rather be sure.Finally, many Maine gun-owners simply believe that

whether they have a concealed handgun permit is no-body’s business.

The entire tone of the editorial was one of anger and self-interest, not one of deliberative thought and reflec-tion on an issue of pressing public concern that deserves dispassionate review by one of the state’s major media outlets.

To the paper’s clever sound-bite, “information doesn’t kill people, people kill people,” a play on the NRA’s fa-mous slogan, I say this: does The Forecaster believe that it should have access to sensitive military information? If information doesn’t kill people, that shouldn’t be a prob-lem. But we all know that it is.

It must frustrate a newspaper whose job is made easier by more access to records that Mainers demonstrated late last week and, through their representatives in the Legis-lature, that they care more about keeping their personal information private than about a newspaper’s ability to snoop through it.

To them, that’s worth creating FOAA exception No. 484.

Rep. Corey Wilson, R-Augusta, serves on the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.

The importance of trading shoesI am not sure there was ever a time in my life

when I thought I knew everything.Well, that is not entirely true. Every time I

have ever told my husband something was a time in my life when I knew I knew everything.

That slice of life aside, I have always considered myself a work in prog-ress. As I age, the homework piles up, with every life les-son splitting off into two more.

One quiz I seem doomed to fail for the foreseeable future is “what is the appropriate first response to conflict?” By “conflict,” I do not mean armed conflict or scheduling conflict, but interpersonal, attitudi-nal, emotional conflict. My instinctual response to even the first whiff of any such strife is to, quite adorably, lose my mind.

The only redeeming aspect of this charac-ter flavor is that usually, the mind-losing is only internal. Exclamation points fly across my brain, asterisks and ampersands vaguely disguise swear words forming at my lips, and the backs of my eyes roll. As I drive the mean streets of Cumberland County, I craft scathing monologues, complete with stage directions for when I should angrily jab the air with my pointer finger.

While I suppose it is helpful my dressing-downs remain private performances, they do not help the way I address conflicts publicly. The frustration or anger simmers down, but it still simmers. I view the situation not with rose-colored glasses, but through cheap frames with lenses made of whatever substance stamps out light.

I do not aspire to be a dark, brooding person who scares puppies and makes children scan for the nearest exit. I must, therefore, regularly guide myself out of the indulgent playground where arguments become bullies and perspec-tive nose dives into the sand pit. I hit the reset button, and I take a step back, take a deep breath, take a hike.

I am starting to see a pattern in all this start-ing over.

Now casting in Calais ...Imagine volunteers at the Maine Public Broadcast-

ing Network sifting through archives and storerooms in search of marketable paraphernalia as they prepare for an upcoming fundraiser. Among the treasures they unearth is a remarkable and hitherto unseen proposal for a television series dealing with the challenges of life in rural Maine. ...

The proposed series is known internally as “Downeast Abbey” and nev-er got beyond the discussion stage. Now, however, the MPBN board believes that both the script and concept may be of considerable value, given the stunning popularity of the high-brow BBC soap opera bearing the uncannily similar name, “Downton Abbey.”

While some members of the MPBN board are recom-mending legal action against the BBC to enjoin produc-tion of further episodes, others see opportunity. There are unconfirmed reports that MPBN Evergreen Friends – as well as those who donate their vehicles to MPBN – will be invited to audition for leading roles in a long-awaited television production of “Downeast Abbey” that would air this fall.

Aspiring thespians may find the following excerpt from the pilot episode helpful in preparing for their auditions:

[Scene: Exterior of a secluded luxury cottage in Downeast Maine, somewhere between Tunk Lake and T8 R3. The camera pans up an immaculate gravel driveway to reveal two Lexus SUVs parked in front of a three-car garage. A young man exits one of the SUVs and, bearing several bags of groceries, approaches a side entrance to the home. He is greeted by Mr. Clossey, a dignified man wearing a flannel shirt and sporting a faded Red Sox cap.]

Clossey (in a thick Maine accent): Didja get the lobstahs and groceries and imported beeah like I toldja, Duane?

Duane: Ayuh, but I couldn’t find any gluten-free fet-tuccine at the Irving. So I picked up some Spaghetti-O’s instead. When’s Doc Grantham due?

Clossey: Float plane should be landing sometime this afternoon, just before suppah. You’d best get those grocer-ies to Mrs. Darling before she has a fit. She’s some nervous every year when the family arrives.

Duane: Oh, she’ll be fine. (He takes in the view). House looks nice. Got the dock all set up, I see.

Clossey: First thing I do, come ice-out. Doc Grantham likes his fishin.’

Duane: Well, I hope they’re bitin’ this summer. Plenty of flies about, that’s for sure. I laid in a supply of unscented Off! in the non-aerosol can for Mrs. Grantham.

Clossey: Good boy. Now let’s go set up the bah in the dooryahd. Be cocktail time before you know it. (They exit.)

[Action resumes in a tastefully appointed great room with vintage fishing tackle mounted on the walls, and cheery, overstuffed Maine Cottage Furniture adorning the space. A white-haired gentleman wearing L.L. Bean khakis, an Orvis fisherman’s vest and Sebago Docksiders swirls the ice in his cocktail glass.]

Grantham: Clossey, it is so good to be back. How’s Mrs. Clossey?

Clossey: Doin’ fine, Doc. Doin’ fine. Now, will you be wantin’ to take the skiff out tomorrow morning? I can have Duane stock the coolah. Gonna be a hot one.

Grantham: How well you know me, Clossey. I do intend to be out on the water first thing, right after Mrs. Grantham and I complete our Pilates routines.

[The doorbell rings. Clossey and Dr. Grantham exchange a look.]

Grantham: Now who could that be? We’re not hosting anyone this evening, are we, Clossey?

Clossey: Damned if I know, Doc. Let me go see. (He walks off stage. Voices are heard in the wings. Clossey returns.)

Clossey: Doc, it’s a Mister Vigue to see you. Here’s his business cahd. (He hands it to Grantham.)

Grantham: Hmm. V-i-g-u-e. That’s pronounced, “Veeg,” Clossey, in the French manner.

Clossey: Doc, around here it’s pronounced, “Vig-yoo,” in the Maine manner. I’ll go fetch him.

Vigue (entering the room and extending a hand): Doctor Grantham, I’m Pete Vigue. Good to meet you. I understand you’re the owner of this home.

Grantham: I am, sir. And may I ask to what I owe the pleasure of this visit?

Vigue: Well, it concerns a limited-access highway that I would like to see built across Maine, from New Brunswick on the east to Quebec on the west.

Grantham: Good Lord, man, have you taken leave of your senses? A highway across Maine? Do you know what that would do to my property values?

Vigue: I’m more concerned with Maine people who need to earn a living year-round than I am with rusticators like you, Grantham.

Grantham: Clossey, show this man out!Vigue: Oh, I’ll be back, Doctor. I’ll be back.[Camera fades to black.]MPBN officials won’t say if or when filming will

begin, but they stress that funding for future episodes of “Downeast Abbey” depends upon viewers like you. Consult your local listings for details.

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

Defending the SpencersWere I a prudent man, I would probably let well-

enough alone and not comment on the Falmouth High School underage drinking case. But I am not, so I will.

Back when news first broke that a party to celebrate a Falmouth baseball championship at the home of Paula and Barry Spencer had gotten out of hand and some students were found to have been drinking, I got the expected call from a reporter to ask what I thought about it. I tend to get trotted out every few years when there is an under-age drinking incident in greater Portland because back in 1999, I was involved in a similar situation after a Yarmouth High School prom.

For anyone interested in the sordid details, I tell the whole story in one of the essays in “Backyard Maine,” but suffice it to say that the Yarmouth prom fiasco was front-page news for a week and brought John Stossel of “20/20” to town to inter-view me. I said back then, and I say now, that I would not advocate that anyone do what I did, but I did what I felt I had to do at the time to help keep kids safe on a very vulnerable evening.

Another father and I stood guard outside a party at which 300-plus teenagers celebrated, let off steam and, yes, drank beer. Our all-night vigil earned us the designation “gatekeepers.” The fact that I was on the School Committee at the time only aggravated the situation.

It wasn’t my home, I did not supply alcohol, I did inform the police beforehand of what was going on, and, fortunately, no one got hurt. But I realized almost as soon as the party got going that it could have gotten wildly out of control

very quickly. One of the reasons it didn’t, I like to think, is that the students respected us for trying to protect them.

In any event, when the reporter recently called to ask what I thought about the Spencers, I said I didn’t think anyone knew enough about the situa-tion to judge whether they were guilty of anything or not. People were rushing to judgment.

If what the Spencers did constituted a crime, half the parents I know would be convicted criminals. The reason the Spencers’ case ended in a dead-locked jury was that responsible adults could easily imagine themselves caught in just such a situation. The Spencers didn’t furnish alcohol to minors and they did not intend to furnish a place for minors to consume alcohol.

The fact that stellar student-athletes, good kids with bright futures, could show up with 30-packs suggests that little, if anything, about our underage drinking laws and school athletic codes works. The Falmouth baseball and lacrosse teams, their friends and fans would have found another place to party if the Spencers had not hosted the championship celebration.

I had a few parents call me during the Spencers’ trial to say they thought the couple was being railroaded and that I ought to write a column in their defense. I decided to await the outcome of the trial, both because I don’t know the Spencers and I didn’t know the facts. The facts suggest the Spencers were not guilty of anything.

The outcome was – and should have been left at – a hung jury, half favoring conviction, half exoneration. It turned into a bad outcome when the Spencers had to agree to pay a $12,000 fine, make a $5,000 donation to a victim’s compensation fund, and do 100 hours of community service each in order to avoid being prosecuted again. There’s a word for that, and it’s not justice.

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

Whether it’s a counter-party making bizarre demands, an acquaintance behaving spitefully, or a stranger mak-ing a decision I disagree with, my point of re-entry almost always looks the same; proverbially speaking, it looks like that person’s shoes. Yes, my wisdom-with-age breakthrough is none other than the first maxim many learn as children: don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.

Perhaps I am not being fair to myself. Perhaps the lesson is not simply that trading shoes is important. Perhaps the lesson is the importance of the trading shoes part.

The fewer cliffs I jump off, the more appreciation I have for the compact, elegant, fail-proof efficacy of the shoe trade. The more often I force myself to consider the other person’s concerns, their history, and their motiva-tions, the more I see the landscape of our interaction in panoramic view. I see it not through the clouded eyes of the emotionally invested, but with the brain of a casual observer.

From this refreshed vantage point, I can stake out areas of common ground, however small. I can identify the things I might be able to change and the things I never will. I can feel less overwhelmed and more in control.

The progress that comes from this position is hum-bling in its completeness, even if my carpooling is not quite as dynamic. I can formulate my argument better because I can focus on the prongs that might be convinc-ing. I can gain credibility by acknowledging the merit(s) of the other side. I can let go of my righteous rightness.

If there were infomercials for thought patterns, I would proudly hawk this one. I am convinced it makes molehills out of mountains and illuminates ways for-ward even in halls of mirrors. It is a one-size-fits-all tac-tic, helpful for the short-tempered, but also the grudge-bearers and the passive-aggressors. I am so confident everyone would love the approach that I would have no qualms with a money-back guarantee.

It’s not always easy for empathy to be your first re-sponder. The front-end work required to develop this habit, though, surely requires less energy, in the long run, than what is required to be constantly frustrated. At least, that’s what my homework indicates.

But what do I know?Abby Diaz grew up in Falmouth and lives there again,

ObituariesGilbert ‘Buddy’ Earle, 64: ‘Consummate family man,’ beloved teacher

FALMOUTH — Gilbert “Buddy” Earle, 64, of Falmouth, died Feb. 21 of complications from a heart attack and diabetes.

Earle was born April 2, 1948, in Rock-ville Centre, N.Y., to Gilbert Earle Sr. and Ethel Rose Earle. His father died when Earle was young and the family eventu-ally settled in Falmouth when he was 10.

Earle graduated from Falmouth High School in 1966 and attended Colby College, graduating with a degree in psychology. He worked for a year as a teacher in Waterville before getting a job

at Cape Elizabeth Middle School, where he worked for the rest of his career.

Earle thrived in his work with middle schoolers.

“He had a way about him that was great for young peo-ple,” said Peter Earle, his son. “He really helped that age group grow as people. It’s a key time, a tough time, but he had an uncanny way of making them feel good

and bringing out the best in people.”It was at Cape Elizabeth Middle School

that he met his wife, Kathy. They were married in 1976.

In 1996 the family went to Auckland, New Zealand, where Earle and his wife spent a year-long sabbatical teaching.

For Earle, family was everything.“He was the consummate family man,”

said Peter Earle. “He was endlessly proud of all of us.”

His son said it has been difficult bal-ancing Earle’s modesty with the tremen-dous impact he had on those around him.

“For him, it wasn’t about accolades; he wanted as little fanfare as possible,” he said. “It’s been hard because he touched so many people. He was beloved to ev-erybody, whether they knew him well or were perfect strangers.”

Earle retired from teaching in 2007 after 36 years at Cape Elizabeth Middle School. He spent his retirement doing the things he loved, like going on fishing trips with friends, attending basketball games and going to the family camp in Raymond.

He is survived by his wife, Kathy Ear-le; his daughter, Gretchen, and her hus-band, Sean McCloy; his son, Peter Earle, and Emily Burney; his sister, Linda, and her husband, Art Roscoe; parents-in-law Roger and Shirley Hanson; and many wonderful nieces, cousins and special extended family and friends around the world.

A remembrance gathering will be held Saturday, March 2, at Ocean Gateway on the Portland waterfront. Visiting and mingling will be from 10-11 a.m., with a program at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or to the Buddy Earle Scholarship Fund at Cape Elizabeth High School.

The family has created a memorial

website, www.everybodylovesomebuddy.com, where people may leave memories and condolences.

Joan Rice Lausier, 68SCARBOROUGH — Joan Rice

Lausier, 68, of Scarborough, died Feb. 21 following a brief battle with leukemia.

She was born March 22, 1944, in Liv-erpool, England, to Charles and Ellen Rice.

In January 1972, she met the love of her life, Paul R. Lausier of Augusta, in Augsburg, Ger-many, where he was stationed following his return from the Vietnam War. They married the following August.

While her husband’s career took him up and down the East Coast, Lausier worked at Pine Tree Legal Assistance in Presque Isle and Loretto Geriatric Cen-ter in Syracuse, N.Y. The couple finally settled in Scarborough in 1980.

In Maine, Lausier worked for the law firm of Troubh, Heisler & Pampiano for 18 years, and later as a trust administrator for Spinnaker Trust. She retired to join her husband in their jointly owned busi-ness, Oak Hill Beverage in Scarborough.

Lausier loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and travel-ing with her husband to visit family and friends. She listened to all kinds of mu-sic, loved to dance, was an avid reader and enjoyed cooking. Above all, she had a deep and abiding belief in her Catholic faith.

She was predeceased by her son, Den-nis, in May 2010, and also by her parents, a brother and a sister. She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Paul; son Craig and his wife, Laura of Vienna, Va.; grand-children Kora, Tyler, Aiden and Brennan; a sister, Margaret; brothers Tom and Ca-hal; and many nephews and nieces.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 1311 Mamaroneck Ave., Suite 310, White Plains, NY 10605, or to the Melanoma Foundation of New England, 11 Old Road to Nine Acre Corner, Suite 1005, Concord, MA 01742.

A Mass of Christian burial was held Thursday at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough. Lausier will be laid to rest in the spring at Black Point Cemetery, Scarborough.

Their work is part of ongoing efforts to help the people in a village on the outskirts of Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.

Clark Insurance has launched a year-long TV campaign to support a number of area nonprofit and civic causes. The employee-owned insurance agency is using half its TV advertising budget to highlight eight different organizations on channels in the Time Warner Cable service area, using 300, 15-second announcements for each organization. The first two announcements spotlight “teaching excellence” and the Portland Stage Company. Other featured organizations will include Preble Street, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland, Woodfords Family Services, Port Resourc-es, The Community Schools and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.

As part of Portland’s Downtown Dis-trict’s Light Up Your Holidays month-long celebration, Shop For A Cause Day is an opportunity for local businesses to give back to their community.

Grants

As a result of a $30,300 March of Dimes grant, Maternity Care at Mid Coast Hospital will be expanding its CenteringPregnancy program. The grant will support the pro-gram by allowing for increased scheduling opportunities and patient capacity. Center-ingPregnancy is an evidenced-based model of group prenatal care that integrates basic prenatal health assessment and education with social support. Facilitated by a Certi-

fied Nurse Midwife and Maternity Care nurses, the centering program at MidCoast Hospital allows women with similar “due months” to meet in a group setting and participate in their own care by weighing themselves, checking blood pressures and recording in their own charts.

Innovations

Fluid Imaging Technologies, a Yarmouth-based laboratory instrumentation manu-facturer, earned U.S. Patent No. 8,345,239 for the development of a new system and method for imaging birefringent particles in a fluid. The patented technology fea-tures two cross-polarizing filters that auto-matically detect the presence of anisotropic particles and microorganisms, take a digital image of each one and provide more than 30 different parameters of measurement data, all saved in a variety of formats. Light passes to the camera for imaging only af-ter passing through the particles and both polarization analyzers. The new advance effectively isolates birefringent targets of interest for analysis.

That, in a nutshell, is what oc-curred in last week’s boys’ bas-ketball tournament at the Cum-berland County Civic Center.

Twenty years in the making

South Portland wasn’t viewed as a top contender entering the season, but by the end of the year, the Red Riots were 15-3 and held the top spot in the final Heal Points standings for the first time since 1994. South Portland then fended off an upset bid from No. 9 Sanford, 60-47, in the quarterfinals and showed tremendous fortitude in beating rival No. 4 Portland, 49-41, last Wednesday in a back-and-forth semifinal.

After a slow start, South Port-land rallied from a 7-2 deficit to dominate the second quarter and take a 22-14 advantage to halftime when senior standout Tanner Hyland hit a 3-pointer at the horn. The Red Riots ex-tended their lead to 12 points early in the third period, but the Bulldogs began heating up from 3-point land and roared back, twice taking fourth quarter leads.

Then, the Red Riots closed the game out in style.

Scarborough girls eliminated in semisBy Michael Hoffer

PORTLAND—For the fourth time in five seasons, the Scar-borough girls’ basketball team reached the Cumberland County Civic Center, but for the second straight year, the Red Storm’s title hopes were dashed by jug-gernaut McAuley.

Last Friday evening in the Western Class A semifinals, Scarborough gave the Lions their second-closest call of the year to date, but it ultimately wasn’t enough.

The Red Storm, ranked fourth after a 15-3 regular season, ousted No. 5 South Portland, 45-32, in the quarterfinals, then met a McAuley squad riding a 45-game unbeaten streak in the semis.

The Lions eliminated Scar-borough in last year’s regional final, 61-43, and pulled away

late to beat the Red Storm, 65-42, in the lone regular season encounter between the two back on Jan. 18.

The semifinal saw McAuley race to an 8-0 lead. Scarborough didn’t make a field goal in the first quarter, but was only down by six, 10-4. The Lions ex-tended their advantage to 26-12 at halftime, but the Red Storm didn’t buckle. In the third, after McAuley got the first basket, Scarborough went on a 9-0 run as sophomore Ashley Briggs set up senior Courtney Alofs for a layup, senior Mary Redmond knocked down a 3, Alofs, after taking a perfectly threaded pass from senior Taylor LeBorgne, made another layup and LeBor-gne added a driving layup to cut the deficit to 28-21.

The Lions eventually restored order and pushed the lead back

to 34-23 after the third period. Scarborough never seriously threatened from there and the Lions went on to a 47-38 vic-tory.

The Red Storm was paced by 10 points from Redmond. LeB-orgne bowed out with nine, se-nior Maria Philbrick with seven and Alofs with six. Scarborough was outrebounded, 33-22, and finished the season 16-4.

“I couldn’t be any prouder of the girls,” said Red Storm coach Ron Cote, who took over the program in October, on the eve of the season. “The effort they gave was tremendous. I thought if we made some shots and we had some looks, we would have been right there. We were down 14 at halftime. We could have come out second half and got blown out, but we came back

Carr then made his presence felt with consecutive layups and the Red Riots closed the game on a 9-0 run to capture a 49-41 victory.

“I’ve never been in doubt of scoring all year,” Carr said. “It

just hasn’t been my role on the team. We have Tanner. I just get the ball to him. Tonight, we needed big baskets and I did what I could do.”

“It’s a big step,” said Hyland, who had a team-high 15 points.

“Since I’ve been in high school, we were 0-2 (in this round). We stuck together and we came back and got our lead back and got the win. I don’t have doubts with this team. Most of us have played together. We’re all so close. Everyone was just calm.”

“After (Portland) went ahead, we didn’t fold,” said South Portland coach Phil Conley. “We played hard on both ends and got the job done. We’ve been here before, this group. We have seven seniors. All year long, they’ve worked hard. If you have to weather a storm, you want a senior group. They did a great job.”

That sent the Red Riots to the regional final for the first time since losing to Westbrook in 2000. Awaiting South Portland

was a Bonny Eagle squad which had lost in that round each of the past two seasons (to Cheverus and Deering).

The Red Riots won an 82-77 double overtime epic at the Scots on Jan. 21. Bonny Eagle had won both prior playoff meetings, including 56-39 in the 2012 semis.

This time, the teams put on a memorable show as Hyland and Bonny Eagle junior star Dustin Cole combined to score 66 points in an anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better duel for the ages.

In the end, Hyland’s sup-porting cast was just slightly stronger and that spelled the dif-ference in a game which came down to the waning seconds.

Cape swimming, Scarborough track titles highlight championship weekBy Michael Hoffer

There was a lot more than just basketball being contested over vacation week.

The state indoor track, swimming and skiing meets were also going on and now it’s time to turn our attention to boys’ hockey, which began its postseason last weekend.

Here’s a glimpse:Swimming

Cape Elizabeth’s girls’ swim team won its first Class A title since 2009 and its 16th since 1973 last week, as its 282 points were just enough to hold off Brunswick (268.5). Scarborough (47) came in 14th and South Portland (26) placed 20th.

The Capers won just one event, but their depth and balance proved to be enough.

Hannah Homans, Sadie Stiles, Sydney Wight and Caroline Herriman took the 200-yard medley relay in 1 minute, 50.17 seconds. Wight was runner-up in the 200 freestyle (1:59.53) and also came in sec-ond in the 100 butterfly (57.74 seconds). Cape Elizabeth’s 200 free relay (Herriman,

Sierra Bates, Homans and Wight) was also runner-up (to Brunswick), in 1:44.51. Homans placed third in the 100 backstroke (1:00.20).

“The meet was very exciting and obvi-ously had a great result in the end,” said Cape Elizabeth coach Ben Raymond. “I can’t say enough about how proud I was of all the girls. We had the largest team competing at the Class A state meet this year, which I do not think has ever hap-pened for Cape. The only event we won all night long was the medley relay and we re-set the state, school and meet record. Hannah, Sadie, Sydney and Caroline are all coming back next year, so hopefully the record will go even lower. Overall, it was an incredible meet. We scored points in every single event and had multiple swimmers in all events except the 100 backstroke. We won this season as a team. All of the girls contributed to the state title. Every point in the meet mattered and while we may not have won individual events, we had the talent and more importantly the depth

to amass enough points to be the Class A champs for possibly the last time (Cape Elizabeth will likely move down to Class B going forward). I was incredibly proud of all the girls and our coaches and parents for all their support not just at the state meet but during the entire season.”

The Red Storm was led by Lucy Iselborn, eighth in the 100 breaststroke (1:18.20).

In the Class A boys’ competition, won by Cheverus with 372 points, Cape Elizabeth (182) came in fourth, Scarborough (171) was fifth and South Portland (31) finished 17th.

The Capers featured Evan Long, who won the 50 free in a new meet record time of 21.41 seconds. Long was also second in the 100 free (47.11). Cape Elizabeth’s 200 free relay (Long, Ian Riddell, Jordan Petersen, Griffin Thoreck) also placed first (1:32.71).

“The boys had an outstanding meet, earning fourth place, which was very good considering the amount of swimmers we qualified and then came back and swam in finals,” Raymond said. “Evan set the school record in both the 50 free and 100 free and swam on the 200 free relay team, which successfully defended their title for like the sixth year in a row. The meet overall was very fast, I was extremely proud of all the boys for how hard they worked and their ability to score so many points with small numbers. I think the season for the boys overall was very successful, led by a great group of seniors in Jacob Brady, Jackson Berman, Ian Riddell and Evan Long.”

Red Storm standout Jerry Gravel set a new state record in winning the 200 indi-vidual medley in 1:53.07 and did the same in the breaststroke (57.83).

The Red Riots top finisher was Colin Harle, who was 10th in the 50 free (24.04).

Indoor trackScarborough’s boys’ indoor track team

made it three Class A state titles in a row and four in five seasons, edging Cheverus, 61-57. South Portland had 20 points to come in 11th.

The Red Storm’s lone first place finish came from Greg Viola in the pole vault (13 feet, 6 inches). Alec James was runner-up in that event (12-6). Also placing second were Robby Hall in the mile (4 minutes, 27.24 seconds) and the 800 relay team (Ryan Jamison, Cameron Langlois, Jake Alofs and Viola, 1:33.73). That time broke the existing state record, but was bettered by Cheverus’ 1:32.96, which won the event.

Hall also placed third in the two-mile (10:15.26). Scarborough was third in the 3,200 relay (Ben Farino, Will Fowler, Jacob Bloom, Alex Karam, 8:31.17). Colin Tardiff was fourth in the mile (4:39.04) and sixth in the two-mile (10:21.45). Jamison was fifth in the 55 (6.74 seconds) and sixth in the 200 (23.39). Hugh McSorley finished fifth in the shot put (46-4.75). Merrick Madden placed seventh in the 55 hurdles (8.31).

“The meet was close, as expected,” said Scarborough coach Derek Veilleux. “We knew that Cheverus would be within four to six points if things went as expected. The seniors came through again. Despite having a stomach bug, Robby finished second in the mile and third in the two-mile for 14 points to lead the team. The pole vault was the big event for us as we went 1-2. Greg was impressive, considering he just started the event six weeks before the state meet. We had strong efforts from the relays. Some of the younger kids showed their mettle.

Mike Strout / For the ForecaSterCape Elizabeth freshman goalie Grant Rusk covers the puck while sophomore defender Cole Caswell tries to clear Yarmouth junior Max Watson out of the play during the Capers’ 4-3 win in Tuesday’s Western Class B quarterfinal. Cape Elizabeth advanced to meet defending state

champion Greely in Friday’s semifinals.

Hugh entered as the ninth seed and finished 5th. Colin was the seventh seed in the mile. He ran a great race to finish fourth, then came back in the two-mile where he was the 12th seed, to sprint his way to a sixth place finish. This is the first time in my coaching career that a freshman scored in more than one event in a state meet.

“Winning for the third year in a row is quite an accomplishment for the program. We had 20 kids compete in the meet, which is a testament to the hard work the kids put in all season. The seniors provided great leadership all year and that was a big reason for our success as well. The kids put in the work and it’s always nice to see that hard work, sacrifice and dedication pay off with a championship.”

The Red Riots got a runner-up showing from Duncan Preston in the shot put (51 feet, 2.25 inches). Preston was also third in the long jump (20-2.5) and fifth in the triple jump (40-11.25). Ben Michaud was fifth in the long jump (19-11.25).

In the girls’ meet, won by Bangor with 70.5 points, Scarborough (23) was ninth and South Portland (19) 10th.

The Red Storm got points from its cham-pion 800 relay team (Morgan Rodway, Katherine Kirk, Jess Meader and Avery Pietras, 1:50.29), its third-place 3,200 relay (Marisa Agger, Karli-An Gilbert, Meager and Kirk, 9:58.58), Sarah Rinaldi (third in the high jump, 5 feet) and Pietras (seventh in the 200, 27.88).

The Red Riots featured Nyajock Pan, who was runner-up in the 800 (2:21.92) and fourth in the mile (5:19.33). The 800 relay team (Lauren Magnuson, Pan, Angela Tirabassi and Erin Bogdanovich) came in third (1:52.15). Meagan Johnson tied for sixth in the high jump (4-10).

In Class B, the Cape Elizabeth boys had 10 points to place 15th. Liam Simpson was third in the two-mile (10:02.61). Deven Roberts came in fourth in the high jump (5-10).

The Capers girls had 1 point and tied Poland for 26th. The point came from Laura MacKay, seventh in the 55 (7.77).

SkiingScarborough’s boys’ ski team finished

seventh in the combined Class A standings. The Red Storm was sixth in Alpine and 10th in Nordic.

The Alpine effort was sparked by Kevin Dryzga, who was seventh in the slalom with a two-run combined time of 1 minute, 26.61 seconds and 23rd in the giant slalom (2:05.20).

Jepson Camden paced the Nordic effort by finishing 27th in the freestyle (14 min-utes, 36.2 seconds) and 36th in the classical (17:53).

Matt Hodgkins was third in the ski-mesiter standings.

Scarborough girls’ Alpine team was eighth. Abby Mills was seventh in the GS (1:54.23) and 10th in the slalom (1:37.17). The Red Storm didn’t have a Nordic team and didn’t have a combined score.

In Class B, Cape Elizabeth’s boys’ Alpine team came in third, Nordic was seventh and the Capers placed third combined, behind Yarmouth and Maranacook.

In the GS, Robert Sarka came in third (1:32.62), while Peter Higgins was fourth (1:33.00). In the slalom, Max Barber placed fourth (1:16.52), Higgins was sixth (1:17.50) and Curtis Alexander was eighth (1:17.98).

Julian Pelzer led the Nordic cause with a

12th-place showing in the skate (13:52.9) and a 16th-place finish in the classic (16:36.7).

Cape Elizabeth’s girls were fourth in Nordic, fifth in Alpine and fourth com-bined.

Dana Hatton stole the show on the Nor-dic side, finishing runner-up in the skate (15:17.9) and eighth in the classic (18:15.5).

Emma Dvorozniak and Sara Paclat both had a pair of top 10 finishes on the Alpine

side. Dvorozniak was third in the slalom (1:27.93) and sixth in the GS (1:41.99). Paclat came in seventh in the GS (1:44.51) and 10th in the slalom (1:41.29).

Francesca Governali finished fourth in the skimeister standings.

HockeyCape Elizabeth and Scarborough’s boys’

hockey teams both opened the postseason with victories Tuesday evening.

The Red Storm finished as the No. 1 seed

in Western A at 17-1, courtesy a regular season-ending 16 game win streak capped by a 5-3 victory at Cheverus last Wednes-day. Tuesday, Scarborough took care of No. 9 Noble/Wells in the quarterfinals, riding a five-goal second period to a 9-1 triumph. The Red Storm will face No. 4 Cheverus (13-6) or No. 5 Thornton Academy (9-9-1), the two-time defending state champion Saturday in the semifinals at the Colisee in Lewiston. Scarborough also beat the Stags at home, 5-0, Feb. 2. The Red Storm beat the Golden Trojans twice this year, 7-4 away and 4-3 at home.

South Portland finished the year 2-16 and 14th in Western A (only nine teams made the playoff cut) after a 6-5 home loss to Kennebunk last Wednesday.

In Western B, the Capers made the play-offs as the fifth and final seed after a 7-10-1 regular season. Tuesday, Cape Elizabeth went to No. 4 Yarmouth, a team it lost to, 2-0, and tied, 2-2, in the regular season. This time, the Capers had the answers, advancing, 4-3, behind two goals from Curtis Guimond and 16 saves from fresh-man goalie Grant Rusk. Cape Elizabeth advanced to meet No. 1 Greely (14-4), the defending state champion, in the semifinals Friday in Lewiston.

Looking ahead, the Western A Final is Tuesday. The Western B Final is Wednes-day. The Class B state final is Saturday, March 9, at 1 p.m. The Class A state final is that evening at 6 p.m. All of those games will be played in Lewiston.Sports editor Michael hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

Both teams came out hot and the game was deadlocked, 17-17, after one quarter, but the Red Riots went ice cold in he second period, failing to score for almost six minutes while the Scots went on a 12-0 run to take a 29-22 lead to halftime.

“I think we started forcing some shots, myself included, and we didn’t pound the ball down low,” Hyland said. “When we don’t do that, our offense goes stagnant and we get shaky.”

At halftime, Conley delivered a simple message.

“We had to make adjustments as half-time, which we did,” Conley said. “Basi-cally, two things we talked about were staying together as a team, since we were only down seven points, and we had to get the ball inside, which got us here. If we did those things, good things would happen. There was no panic.”

South Portland came out a different team for the second half, however, as sophomore sensation Jaren Muller scored six quick points before a Hyland 3 put the Red Riots back on top to stay.

“We talked about getting the ball inside for layups,” Hyland said. “Jaren freed

himself up. Jaren’s been really good this year. We didn’t know how good he’d be, but he’s phenomenal. We have so many good big guys.”

“My Dad told me that this was a once in a lifetime chance and I had to seize the moment,” said Muller (12 points). “We knew we were bigger than Bonny Eagle and that we had to get it done down low. We failed in the first half, but we came out strong in the second half. Me and Tanner, when we run a pick-and-roll, who can stop that? That’s just a great guard and a big kid setting a screen. Once they get around me and go out on (Tanner), I’m open down low.”

The fourth quarter was almost exclu-sively Hyland and Cole trading hoops as Bonny Eagle pulled within two points on five different occasions, but South Port-land answered every salvo and two late Hyland foul shots slammed the door on a palpitating 56-52 triumph.

“Me and Dustin went back and forth,” Hyland said. “It’s a lot of fun to play against him. We know each other pretty well. We love going back and forth. It was just so much fun. It means so much. We’ve been dreaming about this since sixth grade. We said we were going to win the championship senior year. We’re almost there.”

“It’s amazing,” senior Jack Tolan (nine points) said. “Everyone was doubting us, but it feels really good. It’s a really humbling feeling. Everyone told us how excited they were. We know the history of South Portland basketball. The crowd

pushed us. We know with their support, we can beat anybody in the state.”

“Credit to the kids,” added Conley. “I’m so proud. It’s been 20 years. Long overdue. I call this an award not just for the team and the school, but for the city of South Portland, which stayed with us 20 years. We always draw well on the road. The fans come to all of our games. This is a city championship. We’re rich in tradi-tion and now we’ve got one.”

Hyland wound up with 30 points and seven assists as the Red Riots improved to 18-3, ended the strong season of the Scots, who got 36 points from Cole, at 17-4, won a regional title for the first time since 1993 and advanced to set up an appetizing Class A state final showdown with undefeated Hampden Academy Saturday at 7:05 p.m., at the Augusta Civic Center.

Hampden Academy, which, as everyone now knows, somehow survived Law-rence’s upset bid with a miracle buzzer-beater in the Eastern A Final Friday night. The Broncos lost Deering in last year’s finale, 59-50, and are seeking their first championship since 2005.

For South Portland, it’s been a lot lon-ger. The last time the Red Riots were the last team standing, the year was 1992, when the Minnesota Twins were the reign-ing World Series champions, George H.W. Bush was in the White House and it took five overtimes for the Red Riots to edge Bangor in one of the most storied games in state annals.

“We just have to play tough and stay focused,” Tolan said. “We’ll do our thing.”

“Looking at other teams’ rosters, I knew we had a chance this year,” said Muller. “We knew Deering, Portland and Bonny Eagle were favored, but we knew if we played hard, the sky was the limit for us. We’re not satisfied. We want a ring. We have (a plaque) for our wall. Now, we want something for our hands.”

“We just have to keep doing what we’re doing, run our offense and play our defense,” Hyland said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Conley can’t wait to go for the gold

Saturday.“(Hampden Academy’s) undefeated for

a reason,” Conley said. “They’re a very good team, but we’re also a very good team. We’ll go in confident and we’ll do what’s gotten us there. It’ll be a good game. We’ll leave it on the floor. Whatever happens happens. That’s how we’ve ap-proached every game. If we can say we left it all on the floor, I’ll be happy as a coach.”

York too muchCape Elizabeth had a nice bounce-back

season, going 13-5 to earn the No. 3 in Western B, before holding off No. 6 Wells, 57-51, in the quarterfinals. The Capers were “rewarded” for that win by drawing powerhouse No. 2 York in last Thursday’s semifinals. The Wildcats won both regular season meetings and didn’t take long to end Cape Elizabeth’s upset hopes in the semifinal.

Before the Capers knew what hit them, they were down, 10-0. It was 16-5 York after one period and 28-14 at halftime and Cape Elizabeth’s season ended at 14-6 with a 58-35 setback. Senior Chris Ro-bicheaw had 13 points in his swan song.

“We weren’t in it from the start,” said Capers coach Jim Ray. “York’s a very good team. We had to play our best game and we play as well as could have.”

The Wildcats went on to lose to Fal-mouth in the regional final.

Cape Elizabeth, meanwhile, had a lot of which to be proud.

“When we reflect back on our body of work, to win as many games as we did is pretty good,” Ray said. “We didn’t have any games where we were a dominant team. We had to fight hard. The kids found a way to win. They improved a lot. The seniors contributed quite a bit.”

The Capers project to be a contender again in 2013-14.

“We have some work to do,” Ray said. “It won’t be an easy road. We don’t have any size, but they’re good kids.”Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

and made it a game. We didn’t press. We changed defenses a number of times. There was one particular defense we played we hadn’t shown all year that McAuley was a little confused with. We stayed with that a little longer. It packed us in and helped with their bigger play-ers. I told (the girls) I was so proud of them. They came out on this floor and battled McAuley to the end.

“I thought we had a tremendous year. The girls made my job easy because their attitude was super all year. They worked hard and were coachable. Not one of them had an attitude problem. They have a refuse-to-lose attitude and competed until the end. I think we played to our expectations. We beat a lot

of teams handily. Did we overachieve? I think we achieved what our talent was. It’s a special group of seniors. They had three different coaches. Three different personalities. For them to adjust the way they have is amazing. How they adjusted says a lot about their makeup.”

The Red Storm will have a very differ-ent look next winter after the departure of Alofs, LeBorgne, Philbrick, Redmond, Grace Farnkoff and Marisa O’Toole, but Briggs leads a returning contingent that figures to remain in contention.

“We lose the six seniors and a lot of experience and a lot of competitiveness and so forth, but I think it’s rubbed off to the younger kids,” Cote said. “I hope we continue to grow.”Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

City schools are currently slated to re-ceive $4.5 million in state aid, although about $550,000 is earmarked as a reim-bursement for paying into pensions for-merly funded by the state. Godin said the estimate is a “best-case scenario.”

She said the preliminary subsidy amount is about $1.8 million more than expected, but sought a 2.5 percent “needs based” increase to the current $40 million school budget. At that rate, Godin said seven po-sitions, not all currently occupied, might have to be cut.

Godin will present her fiscal year 2014 budget to the School Board March 11, and said she is not ready to identify which jobs are in jeopardy.

By the end of the workshop, Godin said it “was back to the drawing board” because the suggested tax increase of 6 cents per $1,000 of assessed value represents an increase of less than 1 percent.

Consideration of the debt service as part of the school budget created some tension between councilors and School Board members, who have maintained the $41.3 million school bond passed by voters in 2010 was done so on the understanding it would not be part of future operating budgets.

District 1 City Council candidate and current School Board Chairman Rick Carter sparred with Councilor Jerry Jalbert about how the debt should be considered.

Jalbert compared holding debt service aside to accounting practices at the failed energy company Enron, while Carter said there is an implicit understanding between the council and School Board on how debt service is viewed.

“We assured voters we would not gut schools to build the school,” Carter said.

Carter and Jalbert agree on the idea the

34-cent increase would not be split evenly off the top. Instead, they said, it should be based on a decreased amount reflecting the debt service. In fiscal year 2015, the debt service increase will be about two thirds less as bonds are retired and interest is paid.

Like Gailey, Godin said her budget draft is subject to revision because a change in the legislative proposal to reimburse school departments for pension contribu-tions changes the aid formula so drastically that the School Department would actually lose more than $800,000 in subsidies for next year.

The council’s target range of 1.4-2.3 percent for a property tax increase reflected concern about residents on fixed incomes and the specter of a taxpayer revolt like one 30 years ago that led to a temporary ordinance capping property tax increases at 3 percent.

Councilor Linda Cohen, who was City Clerk at the time, said the two years the cap was in place were difficult and damaging to the city. While she could understand the cumulative 62-cent, or 3.76 percent, prop-erty tax increase resulting from preliminary school, municipal and county budgets, she and Jalbert were adamant about avoiding a repeat of the events of the mid-1980s.

Blake, at his December inauguration, initially set a goal of no more than a 1 percent property tax hike. On Wednesday, he said he could have supported up to a 2.5 percent increase “if I saw all the pencils were sharpened.”

His figurative pile of pencil shavings may grow, but councilors, School Board mem-bers and administrators are aware events in Augusta may affect the local budget process through the spring.

“None of us are going to walk out of here tonight with a complete sense of what we have to do,” Carter said.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@

‘Once Upon a Mattress’ in South PortlandBy Scott Andrews

A classic musical comedy from the middle of the 20th century takes center stage this week in the arts and entertain-ment calendar. Lyric Music Theater’s current community production of “Once Upon a Mattress” is a very funny and very tuneful fairy tale for adults. It’s based on the classic yarn of “The Prin-cess and the Pea.”

Portland Symphony Orchestra has its annual major choral work scheduled for March 5. Franz Joseph Haydn’s “The Creation” will be presented with the Masterworks Chorus of the Choral Art Society as featured vocal ensemble, three solo vocalists plus guest maestro Donald Neuen on the podium.

One Longfellow Square has a topnotch instrumentalist slated for Saturday: Johnny A, who ranks among America’s guitar gods.

‘Once Upon a Mattress’What a hoot! That was my first im-

pression of “Once Upon a Mattress,” the exceedingly funny Broadway musical comedy that’s running through this week-end at Lyric Music Theater. If the latest turns in the weather have you longing for some belly laughs, turn to this wonderful community production.

Dating from 1959, “Once Upon a Mat-tress” is based on the classic fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea.” With script by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Mar-shall Barer, lyrics by Barer and music by Mary Rodgers (daughter of legendary Broadway composer Richard Rodgers) “Once Upon a Mattress” has become a staple of community and school com-panies.

The libretto is characterized by campy satire performed by overdrawn, over-blown characters and several delight-fully surprising turns of the plot. Tops in

Lyric’s community production are John Robinson as Prince Dauntless, who is played as an overgrown schoolboy, and Crystal Giordano as Princess Winifred, a loudmouthed comedienne who also serves as the show’s improbably forward ingenue.

I also liked several of the supporting actors, especially Patricia Davis, as the domineering Queen Aggravain, and John Schrank as her long-suffering husband, King Sextimus the Silent. Kudos also to Vince Knue as The Minstrel and Joe Swenson as The Jester.

Director Michael Donovan maintains the fast pace this style of show requires to succeed. Lyric’s costumer, Louise Keezer, also excels in her longtime role.

Lyric Music Theater, 176 Sawyer St. in South Portland, presents “Once Upon

a Mattress” at 8 p.m. March 1-2. Call 799-1421.

Portland Symphony OrchestraTwo decades ago, Robert Moody was

an aspiring young musician who boasted formidable talents both as a cellist and vocalist. Torn between the prospects of choosing one career over the other, the high school sophomore had a revelation at the South Carolina All State Chorus Festival.

Performing a work conducted by Donald Neuen, Moody recalled that the combined forces of the instrumentalists and the chorus vastly exceeded the sum of the parts. And Moody’s eureka mo-ment was seeing the conductor’s role in melding instrumental and choral music into an awe-inspiring combination.

It was a life-changing moment, Moody recalled recently, and his career path be-came clear. He would become a conduc-tor. A few years later Neuen became his teacher and mentor when Moody studied conducting at the Eastman School.

Now Moody is returning the favor by inviting Neuen to conduct the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s annual late win-ter choral concert. One work will be performed: Franz Joseph Haydn’s “The Creation,” a magnificent masterpiece that was inspired by George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah.”

Like “Messiah,” Haydn worked from an English-language libretto that com-prised excerpts from very well-known works. For “The Creation” he used two books of the Bible – Genesis and Psalms – plus sections of John Milton’s epic poem, “Paradise Lost.”

The oratorio leads listeners from primal darkness and chaos, through the six days of Biblical creation, to the earthly paradise of the Garden of Eden. The composer’s genius is evident at the outset.

“Haydn’s introduction to the work,

for orchestra alone, is one of the most astonishing pieces of music every com-posed,” PSO program annotator Mark Rohr writes. “This is the ‘Representation of Chaos,’ before creation, and to say it was ahead of its time is to understate the case.”

Over the course of “The Creation,” Haydn musically develops the elements of the text in myriad and fascinating ways. For example, one passage mimics the waves on the ocean, while the section on the creation of the animals evokes a delightful musical zoo.

Taken as a whole, “The Creation” is an overwhelming work. “The spaciousness of his design, the rich colors of his or-chestra palette, his harmonic genius and his devotion to the text all combine into an awe-inspiring grandeur full of glory and profound thanksgiving,” according to Rohr.

Three soloists have been engaged: so-prano Lisa Saffer, tenor John McVeigh and bass Laurence Albert. Saffer and McVeigh are Maine residents, and both enjoy thriving careers on the global op-eratic circuit. Both have performed with the PSO and other Maine musical orga-nizations numerous times. Albert made his professional debut with the Detroit Opera in 1977, and has since performed a repertoire of over 50 operatic roles.

Neuen currently serves as the Univer-sity of California, Los Angeles Distin-guished Professor of Choral Conducting and Director of Choral Studies. In addi-tion, Neuen regularly directs the UCLA Chorale and the UCLA Chamber Singers and is the artistic director of the Angeles Chorale.

The Masterworks Chorus, directed by University of Southern Maine professor Robert Russell, is part of the larger Cho-ral Art Society, southern Maine’s largest ensemble devoted to singing.

Portland Symphony Orchestra presents “The Creation” at 7:30 p.m. March 5 at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Johnny A.As a guitarist, how do you know when

you’ve reached such a pinnacle of suc-cess that you deserve the title “guitar god?”

Let me suggest one good criteria: when a major guitar manufacturer, such as Gib-son, puts your name on one of its models.

Johnny A., namesake of the Gibson Johnny A. – a hollow-bodied long-necked electric guitar – will be appearing this Saturday at One Longfellow Square.

A veteran of the Boston music scene – and one-time Portland resident – Johnny A. and his band are blues musicians who simultaneously emphasize melody and fi-ery instrumental wizardry in a repertoire that combines well-known covers and self-penned tunes. He boasts one of the most distinctive voices in modern Ameri-can music – and he doesn’t sing a note.

Johnny A. has been nominated for the Boston Music Awards’ Blues Musician of the Year, and on Saturday he will be playing selections from his latest CD, “One November Night.”

Catch Johnny A. at 8 p.m. March 2 at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland. Call 761-1757.

Paul lydenGuitar god Johnny A. will visit Portland’s One

Longfellow Square this Saturday.

medal commemorating the victory of an-other Navy ship, USS Hornet, over the Brit-ish ship Penguin during the War of 1812.

The original medal, presented by Con-gress to Navy Capt. James Biddle in 1815, is now lost. But Fitzgerald has one of seven bronze copies that were later commis-sioned, and said it’s worth about $2,000. He plans to present it on loan to the USS Hornet Museum, in Alameda, Calif., later this year.

Fitzgerald hopes to leverage the endorse-ment of officials at the Hornet museum, site of a World War II carrier of the same name as the 1812 ship.

“This can only be good for them,” he

said, “and for us.”Fitzgerald, a Portland native, said he’s

not related to the former president despite their similar names, and is not a military veteran. But his mother worked for the Navy on the Maine State Pier during World War II, and he speaks passionately about the city’s role in the war.

“In the age of the Internet, there’s a real danger that Americans, and people in Port-land, may forget their own naval history,” he said. “The Kennedy is a reminder of that past.”

And he’s optimistic that his museum will be successful.

“The Navy knows what a great harbor it is, what a safe harbor it is,” Fitzgerald said. “And certainly President Kennedy, a Navy man, would have understood.”

But not everyone is so optimistic.In 2011, the City Council unanimously

refused to support a site for the JFK along Portland’s eastern waterfront, despite ex-pressing general enthusiasm for the idea a year earlier.

In response to strong resident input, councilors cited concerns that the 1,052-foot ship would block views of the water and end up costing the city money.

Councilor Nicholas Mavodones Jr., who served as mayor at the time, said those concerns “probably remain” today.

Mavodones said the council had been worried about the lack of a business plan or specifics about how the JFK would be operated as a museum. While Fitzgerald has said such detail would have been pre-mature, Mavodones said “the numbers just

weren’t there.”In addition, he said, he and other coun-

cilors heard “consistent opposition” to the museum from residents.

“I applaud (Fitzgerald) for what’s he try-ing to do ... but I wouldn’t be optimistic,” Mavodones said.

Sarah Milliman, an East End resident strolling near the Ocean Gateway marine terminal Saturday, echoed that feeling.

“It sounds like a terrific idea, and I’m im-pressed someone is still trying to bring the ship here,” she said. “But I just can’t imagine the way it would dominate the waterfront.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or whall@

crab population that has been wreaking havoc on soft-shell clams, to seeking funding for regional programs.

Another discussion point of the night will be proposed legislation that will seek to put limits on bloodworm harvesting, which Devereaux said can have a harm-ful effect on soft-shell clams.

“We want to target areas of high densi-ty clam areas and if they haven’t reached a harvestable tipping areas, we want to conserve those flats,” Devereaux said.

“We are taking a look at all of the pro-grams (we offer) to see what we can do to make sure we are addressing all nine of these aspects,” Brena said.

She said after the Healthy Living Com-mittee finishing inventorying the surveys, it will move toward educating staff and board members on the new programming so that they can be come advocates in the community.

Brena said that after the nine aspects of wellness become ingrained within all of the YMCA of Southern Maine facilities – Casco Bay in Freeport, Greater Portland, Northern York County in Biddeford and Pineland in New Gloucester – her hope is that they can work outside the walls of the YMCA and work with the com-munity.

But that goal is far away, she said, since the Y is just beginning the strategic plan-ning process. The goal is to present pro-posals to the board in June and make the first programming changes this summer.

“(The strategic planning process) will give us a little bit more direction as to how we will go out into the community, but one of the things that is very impor-tant to us is collaboration,” Brena said. “Right now we are building relationships with different organizations, really trying to build partnerships, because it’s not just going to be us, it is going to need to be different organizations coming together to figure out how to make the biggest impact on the community. That is what I would love to see down the road, but that could take a couple of years to get organized.”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

day,” he said. “I say it’s raining.”Pock said he is hesitant about con-

structing a new public works facility, and wonders if plans are too large for the number of employees, if solutions at the current O’Neil Street site have been fully explored, and what environmental liability and expense may arise in cleaning up the current site.

He said he would like more development in the Bug Light area, and perhaps more restaurants in Willard Square, but places the most emphasis on ensuring seniors can afford to live in the city.

“Let’s shift from thinking about tax in-creases to cutting spending,” he said.

Pock said working a variety of jobs for people in the city has made him aware of the everyday problems they face. He also has the time and inclination to serve, he said.

“It is time I got off the couch and paid attention, because it is going to affect me personally,” Pock said.

Robert SchreiberSchreiber, 47, has made Broadway the

center of his campaign, because the street runs through the center of District 1.

While Southern Maine Community Col-lege has prospered, he said, he still sees the effects of increased traffic and would like a traffic light at Broadway and Sawyer Street.

He said he would also like a better con-nector road linking eastern and western city sections, coupled with better public transportation to improve economic devel-opment. At the same time, he said it is im-portant to promote the local infrastructure and stable tax rate to businesses consider-ing moving to the city.

Schreiber said he will look to the Leg-islature first as he considers local budgets, but expects a better return on the sales taxes generated by city businesses.

“I still have hopes that Augusta is going to come up with a better budget. There has to be some kind of reciprocity,” he said.

Schreiber said residents will see the justification for building a new Public Work facility if there is a solid campaign to educate them.

“People are fine when they understand the progression,” he said.

As a councilor, Schreiber said he will work with the School Board and other municipal committees and boards.

“I do think the School Board or any inter-est has to be cognizant when asking for more revenue or a bond issue,” he said. “They have to take time to educate the public.”David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@

The long, refrigerated display cases have been replaced by rustic wooden shelves. Handmade wooden tables are getting set in place, as are counters by the windows facing Cottage Street. The Butlers hope to have inspections done by early next week, and plan a quiet opening.

Diners can expect “pastas, risottos, simple meats, fish and salads. And lots of garlic,” Laura Butler promised.

Robert Butler said food will be as lo-

cally sourced as possible, including from Cape Elizabeth’s Alewives Farm. The seafood menu will change depending on what is available.

The couple are already hearing from old friends who will be new custom-ers and said the time is right to return. Sweating the final details, though, can still be daunting.

“I don’t call it apprehension,” Laura Butler said. “We just want to get it right.”

not the time,” Blake said, although he acknowledged he will fully support a council decision to place the bond on the ballot.

Council consensus Monday was to have another workshop early next month where the benefits of storing municipal vehicles inside, and the potential savings in maintenance and repairs, can be dis-cussed. Councilors Linda Cohen, Melissa Linscott, Patti Smith and Jerry Jalbert expressed support for the delayed con-struction plan proposed by L’Heureux.

What L’Heureux called “Option 3” is a method of reducing the cumulative debt impact on property tax rates, while keep-ing the project less expensive than an option to build the facility in two phases.

The first option, calling for construc-tion and relocation of the transfer station beginning in November 2014, would add a cumulative 46 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to property tax bills by fiscal year 2017. With the entire munici-pal bond debt added in, the total added would be 65 cents in fiscal year 2017.

L’Heureux noted retirement of exist-ing bonds after fiscal year 2017 reduces future impact, but the projected increase alarmed Livingston.

“I just don’t like the spike,” he said.A second option presented by

L’Heureux would present a $15.9 mil-lion bond in November, but voters would then need to approve a $5.5 million bond by 2016 to complete the construction of storage areas.

Deferring a second bond reduces the tax impact in fiscal year 2017 to 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for just the new facility and 55 cents for the entire municipal bond debt service.

L’Heureux projected a second bond increases the cost to more than $21 mil-lion without interest, while also adding 50 cents to property tax bills by fiscal year 2019.

The new facility, proposed for con-struction at the current transfer station on Highland Avenue near the Wainwright recreation complex, would have 65,000 square feet for covered storage of ve-hicles and equipment, more than 23,000 square feet for a maintenance garage, about 10,000 square feet of office space and a 14,000-square-foot covered salt shed.

The site would replace the aging six-acre headquarters off O’Neil Street on Meetinghouse Hill. It is at least 80 years old and has some building that are older, according to City Manager Jim Gailey.

Colchester Drive resident Albert DiMillo Jr. provided the only public com-ment during the workshop, expressing his skepticism about savings from indoor storage, the worth of city vehicle invento-ry and asking if outsourcing some public works operations could save money and reduce the scope of the project.

DiMillo was unable to stay through the presentation by Dan Riley, an engi-neer with Sebago Technics, who said the seven-bay, indoor maintenance space is critical.

“The fleet maintenance garage is the heart of the operation,” Riley said.

Gailey cited a study by Weston & Sampson, a Foxborough, Mass.,-based engineering company, showing indoor storage boosts public and employee safety, creates cost savings and more ef-ficient operations, and provides benefits to property abutters and the environment.

In his analysis, L’Heureux estimated the city has about $8 million in vehicle

inventory that could last two more years if stored out of the elements, and he and Gailey said additional fuel and time savings opportunities may come from not having to warm up vehicles parked outdoors in the winter.

Waterfront and Transportation Director Tom Meyers said maintenance staff will save time and have safer conditions in a new facility. He noted employees now make bus and vehicle repairs on their hands and knees because of space and lift limitations.

Gailey asked councilors to move to a consensus soon, because efforts to edu-

cate the public on the need for the new facility should begin this spring. He said TV programming on SPC-TV, displays at municipal buildings and an existing Facebook page will be used.

What becomes of the current head-quarters also needs more study. An initial review indicated the presence of lead paint and asbestos, Gailey said. A

more detailed study will cost less than $100,000, Riley said, but it is too early to speculate about remediation costs to clean up the property.

She said the problem with Chapter 33, the Maine Department of Education’s rule governing physical restraint and seclusion, lies not with the law itself, but with teach-ers’ understanding of the law.

“(Teachers) didn’t read the law, they don’t understand the law and the stories they told at the public hearing prove that,” Davis said. “Teachers said, ‘I was bitten by a student and I couldn’t do anything about it.’ But the law says if there is imminent danger to the student or others, you can use restraint. Time after time it is teachers blaming Chapter 33, when it isn’t the law, it is the lack of training.”

Chapter 33 was passed in June 2012, after a 2010 series published by The Fore-caster revealed that physical restraint was being used frequently in Maine schools, in

some cases in violation of existing policies.In response to the reports, the Maine

Department of Education formed a working group to examine the state’s restraint laws; stakeholders presented their revisions to the Legislature in early 2012.

Those changes included clearer defini-tions of physical restraint and seclusion, and limits on the use of both except in cases where “a student presents imminent risk of injury or harm to the student or others” and where less-intensive interventions have been unsuccessful.

Complaints from educators who said the law is too limiting prompted Saviello to propose his changes.

“Teachers want to teach,” he said dur-ing a press conference Feb. 20 in Augusta. “The way Chapter 33 was written, it took that ability out of their hands. Chapter 33 is well intended, but it needs to be clarified. It needs to be modified to allow our teachers

to teach again.”Among other things, the law now pro-

hibits any action that restricts a child’s free movement, including guiding them with a hand on a shoulder or back. Saviello’s pro-posal replaces the ban on such “physical es-cort” with language that allows “temporary touching or holding of the student who is acting out, for the purpose of inducing that student to walk to a safe location.”

It also allows “a brief period” of physical restriction by person-to person contact in order to protect and prevent a student from causing injury or harm, property destruction or disruption of the school.

It asks that Chapter 33 be amended to say that restraint or seclusion may be used in cases where a student may cause “sig-nificant property damage” and to “prevent disruption of the educational environment.”

Finally, it allows restraint or seclusion of students when precise circumstances are

described in a written document signed by the student’s parent.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Maine said the proposed changes to the law go too far.

“Chapter 33 was crafted as part of a thoughtful, year-long process involving key stakeholders including educators and the Department of Education, and should not be gutted by legislators in a matter of days,” said Rachel Healy, director of communica-tion for the ACLU. “We believe that there is a lack of information and understanding about what Chapter 33 actually says and does and we should focus on clarifying the rule, not undermining it with emergency legislation.”

She added that the safety of teachers and students is “absolutely paramount,” but, like Davis, said the Department of Education should do more to make sure that teachers

are educated on what the law actually allows.Davis said that Chapter 33 requires

teachers to receive training on restraint and seclusion from an approved training program, but there is a significant gap be-tween the law and training that is actually taking place.

When asked whether the Department of Education could do a better job providing training to teachers on physical restraint and seclusion, Deborah Friedman, director of policy and programs for the department, said she is not sure what that training could look like or that the Department would go around from school to school explaining the rule.

“We don’t have the resources to do that

and I’m not sure whether it is necessary,” Friedman said. “(But) we’d be interested in hearing suggestions about what would be helpful and feasible to improve understand-ing of the rule.”

What Friedman does think needs to hap-pen is some clarification of language within Chapter 33, instead of a complete unravel-ing of what the law.

“Giving teachers back the tools they have used in the past to manage student behavior, as long as those tools have minimal risks of physical injury to the staff or student, because that is the underlying reason for the rule change (proposal),” she said.

She said that changes could include lan-guage to allow “shepherding” of students or brief contact between teachers and students should be made.

But Maine Education Association presi-

dent, Lois Kilby-Chesley, said the language tweaks need to go further because the cur-rent wording is too restrictive.

Kilby-Chesley said that word “imminent” in the law needs to be more clearly defined as it relates to an imminent threat, because the definition of the word could be different from person to person.

The Maine Disability Rights Center agrees with that assessment.

“One of the things mentioned by the Maine Education Association in their tes-timony (at the Feb. 20 public hearing) was that it makes sense to remove the word ‘imminent,’” said Karen Farber, a disability rights advocate at the center. “We have heard stories of teachers holding back and saying, ‘Is it imminent yet?’ No one wants to have people sitting there not following their good instincts; if the word ‘imminent’ is causing

a hang-up, creating pause where people feel like they are torn, (it should be changed).”

Saviello’s bill was scheduled to go before the Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs on Feb. 5, but Friedman said Mon-day that the committee has not moved forward on it.

Davis said she hopes parents of affected children will have another opportunity to speak on behalf of maintaining Chapter 33 as it was written because the Feb. 20 public hearing was during school vacation, which may have prevented some from attending.

She said the proposed changes to the law go too far and suggested teachers can use tools like positive reinforcement to curb undesired behavior in students.

“There is so much that can be done in-stead of restraint,” Davis said.

said in a news release.The quarantine was ordered Feb. 1

after a husky puppy sold at the store was diagnosed with parvovirus at Fryeburg Veterinary Hospital. The puppy, which died Feb. 2, was taken home by Julie Thomas of Madison, N.H., on Jan. 23.

The quarantine required 23 puppies

in the store to be tested and treated for parvovirus and giardia, conditions that affect canine intestinal tracts. Fraser said the store’s veterinarian discovered the second case; her office has not received any new reports of parvovirus or giardia in puppies sold and released by the store.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, parvovirus is a conta-gious virus first found in canine feces and vomit. The virus can live in an environ-

ment for months and can cause dehydra-tion, vomiting and diarrhea.

The incubation period for parvovirus is usually between three and 12 days. Dogs can be immunized and are most susceptible to infection between the ages of 6 and 24 weeks.

The discovery of the second case and extension of the quarantine brought re-newed protests against the store at 456 Payne Road last Saturday, led by mem-

bers of Maine Citizens Against Puppy Mills.

The group has protested conditions at the store and the purchase of puppies from large-scale breeders. Last summer it unsuccessfully sought a town ordinance against retail sales of puppies from those breeders.
