Occupying SandyBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — Thanksgiving road trips and Black Friday shopping were a common tableau last week.

Add stunning scenes of devastation and a truckload

of donated supplies, and you have the weekend experienced by several Portland and South Portland residents.

Dawn Eve York, Mike Anthony and William Hes-sian were in the cab of a

26-foot rental truck that left Scarborough Friday night, Nov. 23, destined for the Rockaways, on the Atlantic Ocean side of Queens, N.Y.

Occupy Maine members Mike Anthony and

Kara Oster set up at Target Plaza last Friday in

South Portland, looking for donations of clothing and

supplies to deliver to victims of

Hurricane Sandy in New York.

Green Friday in South Portland

DAviD HARRy / THE FORECASTERSouth Portland residents Andrew Lupien and his daughter, Sarah Beth, got a sneak preview of trees for sale in Mill Creek Park in South Portland on Friday, Nov. 23, about two hours before the annual Rotary Club of South

Portland-Cape Elizabeth Christmas tree sale began. Sarah Beth did not go away empty-handed, as club members gave her a candy cane and tree ornament. Rotary tree sales fund club activities and scholarships throughout the year. Sale hours are noon-8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, noon-9 p.m. on Fridays, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on

Saturdays and 9 a.m.- 8 p.m. on Sundays until the last tree is sold.

Students find invasive seaweed on Cape Elizabeth shoreBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — An invasive species of seaweed is rapidly moving north and was re-cently found on the town’s shore by South Portland High School students.

Researchers are concerned the plant will dominate native sea-weed and other plants. It might

also turn into a nuisance for lobstermen, if it gets caught in their traps, and for beach-goers, who may notice its stench when it washes ashore.

The finding in Cape Elizabeth is the first sighting on a shore in Maine of the red Asian seaweed, heterosiphonia japonica, although Northeastern University research-

ers in Boston also documented it during the summer while diving off the coast.

In October, students found the seaweed during a marine biology class where they were tasked with finding 11 different species of seaweed at Crescent Beach. The

Northeastern University scuba divers inspect an invasive seaweed, heterosiphonia japonica, along the coast of New England this summer. More of the seaweed was found at Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth in October by South Portland High School students.

Challenges ahead for South Portland council, School BoardBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — Collaboration got a jump start Wednesday night as city coun-cilors and School Board mem-bers discussed a wide range of topics at a 2 1/2-hour City Hall workshop.

From an assessment of mu-nicipal and school operations to the possible budgetary chal-lenges coming next year, cur-rent and incoming councilors and board members swapped thoughts and observations in a workshop Mayor Patti Smith said was overdue.

The outlook from City Man-ager Jim Gailey and School Superintendent Suzanne Godin was by no means dire. But it is fraught with challenges as the council makes a priority of constructing a new facility for the public works, transportation and parks and recreation de-

partments, and school officials grapple with expiring grants and the possible financial hit caused by students enrolling in charter schools.

The workshop featured an ex-tended discussion about select-ing School Board members to fill vacant seats and whether the annual school budget referen-dum should coincide with June state primary and referendum elections.

Councilors and board mem-bers praised almost all of the selection process leading to the appointment of new at-large School Board member Mary House, who was named to replace Jeffrey Selser. Under terms of the City Charter, her seat will be up for election next November, even though Selser was elected to a three-year term

Bowdoin College student Caroline Blake, focused on serviceBy David Treadwell

BRUNSWICK — Caroline Blake brought impressive credentials to Bow-doin College in the fall of 2010: valedic-torian at Poland High School, passionate about history and American politics, and devoted to her home state of Maine.

Two years later, Caroline’s perfor-mance has matched her potential.

She has applied her strong discipline to excelling in the classroom, where she has maintained an A average while major-ing in Government & Legal Studies and Keith Spiro / For the ForecaSter

minoring in Spanish. Just as important, she has fulfilled her passion for making a difference in Maine and beyond.

During her first year, Blake volun-teered with College Students for College, a student service group that brings area high school students to campus for infor-mation sessions about college planning. She assumed leadership of the group the next year.

During her sophomore year, she spent an Alternative Winter Break in Portland, where she and other Bowdoin students led a three-day workshop on goal setting and college planning for immigrant and refugee children at a Portland middle school.

That experience led her to take a com-munity-based Spanish course. Through that course, Blake and her classmates connected to the community by tutoring immigrants in English at Centro Latino, a community center for Spanish-speaking immigrants in Portland.

This past spring, Blake’s service com-mitment took her farther afield. She spent another Alternative Spring Break in Washington, D.C., where she and fellow trip members addressed issues of hunger

and homelessness by volunteering in soup kitchens and community centers. She also had the opportunity to explore the impact of public policy on people’s lives through meetings with U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe and other policy makers.

The momentum continued this past summer when Blake was a recipient of a Bowdoin’s Community Matters in Maine fellowship. She spent the summer work-ing with Community Financial Literacy, a nonprofit organization that offers per-sonal finance courses to immigrants and refugees in the Portland area.

Blake’s varied service experiences have changed her own views of herself and the world.

“Having grown up in a small town in Maine, I wasn’t fully aware of the spec-trum of other people’s experiences, such as the challenges of refugees to learn English,” she said recently. “I also didn’t understand how the actions of govern-ment affect people.”

Blake has appreciated the diversity of Bowdoin’s student body (“Here, di-versity is perceived as normal”) and the opportunity to have her political views challenged and sharpened.

“Before I came to Bowdoin, I thought people were either Republicans or Demo-crats,” she said, “and voted accordingly.” Now she said she believes that govern-ment leaders and voters should address each issue thoughtfully, without regard to a given party affiliation.

Blake is considering several possible op-tions after graduating from Bowdoin. She might, for example, work in the office of a senator or representative before going on to pursue a degree in law or public policy.

While Blake maintains high ideals, this clear-eyed citizen of the world harbors no illusions that the complex challenges facing the nation today permit easy fixes. Whatever life path she pursues, she said she hopes that she can look back later and be able to say, “I helped contribute to solutions.”

Legislators, Cape elected officials wary of charter schoolsBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — Town Council-ors and School Board members met with newly elected legislators Wednesday morn-ing to discuss objectives and goals for the upcoming legislative session.

The discussion with Rep. Kim Monaghan-Derrig, D-Cape Elizabeth, Rep.-elect Scott Hamann, D-South Port-land, and Sen. Rebecca Millett, D-Cape Elizabeth, ranged from charter schools and technology to gridlock in the Legislature.

One of the most substantive discussions by town officials was how the state’s ap-proved charter schools, particularly Port-land’s Baxter Academy for Technology and Science, might affect the town if Cape Elizabeth students migrate to the school when it opens next fall.

Monaghan-Derrig, of House District 121, said although she didn’t have any “scoops” on what was going to happen with the for-profit schools, she offered predictions.

“I think we may see some reform when it comes to charter schools, but I don’t see

them adding any more until they evaluate the progress of the ones they’ve already approved,” she said.

Baxter will be Maine’s third charter school. Cornville Regional Charter School in Cornville and The Maine Academy of Natural Sciences at Good Will-Hinckley School in Fairfield both opened in October.

Millett, who represents Senate District 11, said there should be a separate ap-propriation for charter schools to prevent money for public schools from funding charter schools.

Students leaving the Cape Elizabeth school system to go to charter schools could draw money away from the town’s school budget, which is already funded more than 90 percent by the municipality.

In Cape Elizabeth, the state pays for only 8.6 percent of the school budget, due to the town’s high property values, which total more than $1.5 billion, Town Manager Mike McGovern said. In other areas of the state, where property values are lower, the state funding can make up more than 80 percent of their school budget.

In 2004, voters approved a ballot mea-sure requiring the Legislature to fund pub-lic education at an average of 55 percent. Despite increasing funding by hundreds of millions of dollars, the Legislature has never reached that level of funding.

School Board member John Christie added his concern that charter schools are working against part of the school consolidation effort, which was to reduce administrative costs, he said.

“The goal of consolidation was to re-duce administrative overhead and now we have charter schools recreating all those roles, doing the exact opposite of what the

consolidation effort was trying to reduce,” he said. “It’s worth stating that we need to be consistent with what we’re doing with schools. This charter school system seems to be doing the opposite.”

The group also talked about funding for the Maine Learning and Technology Initiative, which began in 2002, and was intended to give students in grades 7-12 personal access to Apple computers and help them develop technological skills. In 2010, 100 percent of middle schools and 55 percent of high schools in Maine had laptops for students and teachers.

Superintendent of Schools Meredith Nadeau said the funding is vital for stu-dents and teachers, not only for the technol-ogy, but for the professional development.

“I think it would be a sea change to re-move that funding,” she said.

All students at Cape Elizabeth High School are issued an iPad, but the funding comes from the private Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation.

School Board Chairwoman Mary Townsend noted that although the iPads provide good opportunities for students, she said many prefer laptop computers because they are more powerful.

Although Hamann, who represents House District 123, left the meeting early, Millett and Monaghan-Derrig said they hope legislators will be able to work to-gether in the upcoming session.

Millett said she is encouraged by some of the discussions she has had with other

legislators about moving beyond the parti-san politics.

“There’s a sense not to make out every-thing that’s been done as bad,” she said. “There needs to be forward movement.”

Monaghan-Derrig agreed.“We can’t have gridlock,” she said. “We

should be able to work together, like it was done before.”Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or wgraff@

South Portland library branch to reopen SundayBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — After about six weeks of work inside and out, the South Portland Public Library Memorial Branch at 155 Wescott Road is set to reopen at noon on Sunday, Dec. 2.

Library Director Kevin Davis said re-placement of two pedestrian bridges leading to the library entrance is done, and a new heating, air conditioning and ventilation system has been installed.

The branch was closed Oct. 15 after city councilors approved funding for the work. Bridge replacement, by Portland-based Wright-Ryan Construction, cost $80,200, funded with a $60,200 allocation from the city undesignated fund balance and $20,000 from a library maintenance fund.

One bridge, providing access to the 24-hour book drop box, had been closed because of safety concerns before the Oct. 1 council votes approving the funding for work.

The bridges, estimated to be at least 35 years old, were rusting; eight bids, ranging from $80,200 to more than $200,000, were received for the replacement job.

One bridge also leads to the shared space used by the library and the pro shop for the South Portland Municipal Golf Course. In his memo to councilors detailing the scope of the work, Davis noted the library branch represents 17 percent of the total patronage and the bridges provide the only library ac-cess during the winter.

Davis said the new HVAC system,

installed at a cost of almost $18,000 by Auburn-based Damon Mechanical Services, is more efficient and less visually obtrusive. It replaces a system installed in 1991.

Funding for the heating and ventilation system came from $10,000 allocated in the 2011 Capital Improvements Budget, with the remainder from the current CIP budget. The bid by Damon Mechanical Services was more than $13,000 less than a competing bid by Scarborough-based AAA Energy Services.

Davis said the branch library, across Wescott Road from Memorial Middle School, will return to the hours of operation in place before the October closure. The branch will be open noon-5 p.m. on Sun-days, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Mondays, and 2-6 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays.

With the reopening, the main library at 482 Broadway will resume regular hours and will not be open Sundays and Mondays.

The reopening of the branch library al-lows patrons two locations to contribute to the annual Food for Fines drive through Dec. 15. Anyone with fines for late materi-als can have the fees waived by bringing in nonperishable food or personal care items to be donated to the South Portland Food Cupboard.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@

Christmas attheCathedral Scarborough driver spills

chicken partsSCARBOROUGH — Gorham police

said a Scarborough truck driver received minor injuries Tuesday morning after an accident on Little Sebago Road (Route 237).

While Mark Searway, 50, was not se-riously hurt, his spilled load of chicken parts forced the road to be closed for several hours. The accident occurred just before 5 a.m. and was caused by driver inattention, police said.

While headed north, Searway appar-ently lost control of the Troiano Waste Services truck he was driving, and struck a pole on the right side of the road. He then tried to correct his course, steered off the left side of the road and rolled the truck, police said.

PATHS produces a bountiful ‘harvest’If you’re just tuning in, Portland Arts and Technical

High School is an under-appreciated local institution dedicated to finding and creating appropriate holes for some of the less round pegs, including my daughter, in area high schools.

I ’ve wri t ten about PATHS recently and feel a bit sheepish about re-visiting it so soon, but my experience at the re-cent Thanksgiving brunch (called a “harvest meal,” for legal reasons, no doubt) put on by the food program there resonated too strongly.

I hope I’m not singling out one school and one program in that school simply because Elizabeth is a student. In my de-fense, PATHS impressed me quite by accident before she even started there. I stopped off at a nearby Starbucks on my way to the chiropractor – yeah, I’m pretty much a jet-setter – and noticed a striking collage of commercial art. I thought it was a corporate commission, and literally did not believe the person who told me it was a collection of student work from PATHS. (Incidentally, baristas are less enthusiastic about being called liars than you would think. In case you are ever tempted to do that.)

The brunch is food for us and a series of assign-ments to the kids. They are getting restaurant training, including working with the public. The first person we met was Elizabeth’s classmate, Michael. I usually only see Michael when I drop Elizabeth off at Scarborough High School, pacing the sidewalk, seemingly in his own world until she gets out of the car. He checks the traffic

and waves her across the street, half traffic cop, half pro-tective big brother, then goes back to his solitary pacing.

At the harvest meal, he was a shy but gracious host, saying, “Hello, Mrs. Langworthy, and you must be Elizabeth’s father.” Well rehearsed, well delivered. A moment later Elizabeth started to run toward us, caught herself, slowed down and also greeted us like a good restaurant host. I was impressed and touched. Impressed and touched became the emotions of the morning.

After Elizabeth stopped me from going in the wrong door – because suddenly “rules” matter – she ushered us to the cafeteria entrance, still gracious, still accom-panied by Michael, our other personal greeter. I was just beginning to wonder what kind of Prussian regime must have been required to instill so much responsibil-ity so quickly when the cafeteria door opened and Mr. Divinsky, the head of the program, stepped into the hall.

“Welcome to our Harvest Meal!”

He beamed. I laughed. Mr. D., as apparently every-body in the world but me calls him, wore a chef’s hat shaped like a cooked turkey. The drumsticks were on top like horns. A bold statement, meeting your students’ parents with your head up a turkey’s butt. (I don’t know: maybe he has political aspirations. Start with a turkey’s butt and work your way up the food chain until you’re ready to run for Congress.) In any case, the visual killed my theory of a rigid authoritarian classroom.

I got my plate from a girl who was given that job to encourage her to be more outgoing (it was Elizabeth’s job, too). Down syndrome, autism, physical and devel-opmental disabilities were all represented on the line. A different student served each dish. Behind the servers were the teachers – encouraging, reinforcing, praising and somehow finding time to exchange pleasantries with parents. They were a well-oiled food-service machine. I think the only time the line slowed down was when I stopped to deal with my sensory overload. Fortunately,

Elizabeth and Carol kept me moving; these same kids had to serve the rest of the school.

When you know how much energy it takes for one special needs child to meet his or her challenges, it can be overwhelming to see a group of kids with a broad range of developmental issues work together to accom-plish a common goal. It is more poignant when that goal is to serve the people who spend so much time serving them. Seeing their concentration, and their pride when it comes together, can be almost too much to bear. Or maybe it was just me. All I know is waves of emotion broke over me as I went down the service line.

The food was a pleasant surprise, by the way. It didn’t top the food I remember from Thanksgiving at my grandparents’ house, but it was good, and it was a lot better for me. I grew up in the Midwest, where butter is a spice. Also, I did not have to eat with my extended family, whose guiding principle seemed to be that argu-ments come and go, but resentment is forever. So we always ate our turkey with a side of thinly veiled hostil-ity and a big bowl of tension for dessert. The dynamic at PATHS was different. For one thing, everybody seemed to want to be there. Also, the kids generally seemed to feel pretty good about themselves.

My mind has gone back to that “harvest meal” several times in the last week or so, and it always makes me smile. So to everybody associated with the event, and especially to the kids, I offer my sincerest “harvest.”

Dysfunction is all in the (American) familyMercifully, election season has come to an end. Families

from coast to coast bowed their heads in gratitude as they gathered at their Thanksgiving tables last week.

Successful candidates will now transition from the gaudy brutality of the campaign trail to the formidable, if less colorful, task of governing. The president and Congress can now confront in earnest a sluggish economy, mount-ing debt, the so-called fiscal cliff, two wars (more or less), an ever-volatile Middle East, immigration and cli-mate change.

Of course, the media pun-dits have already transi-tioned, moving seamlessly from pre- and post-election polls to the partisan debt negotiations, to diplomatic crises, and, inevitably, to the alternate universe inhabited by the political and military elite and their slightly un-hinged admirers.

It would all be rather dis-heartening if we didn’t have several centuries of experience dealing with the political lurches and oscillations of this country. Winston Churchill famously observed that Americans can always be counted upon to do the right thing, after having exhausted every other possibility; in other words, it won’t be pretty, but America and Americans will always get to where we need to be in the end.

The knowledge, or at least the confidence, that we will, after all, be fine brings to mind one of those memes that makes its way around the Internet from time to time in

which the writer says, “When I die, no gentle passing for me. I want to arrive at Heaven’s Gate in a cloud of dust amid squealing brakes, battered and bruised, winded and spent, with a bonehead smile on my face, saying, ‘Man, what a ride!’”

In fact, that’s a bit what it’s like to be an American these days. The tortuous path to passage of the Affordable Care Act was characterized by fractious argument and dema-goguery all the way to the Supreme Court, and thereafter by months of public handwringing. In the end, most of the law was upheld, and most states and employers have simply set about the business of complying.

In September, the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was overrun and four Americans, including the U.S. ambas-sador, died. Initial reports attributed the deaths to a sponta-neous uprising of angry Libyans reacting to an incendiary, if childish, anti-Islamic video. Some smell a cover-up, however, and are questioning the competence, veracity and integrity of everyone from the president to UN Ambassador Susan Rice to former CIA Director David Petraeus.

Experience tells us, however, that after a few weeks of very public accusation and castigation, this tragic incident will take its place alongside many others in which dedicated public servants have perished, owing to failure to act, fail-ure to fund, failure to protect, failure to heed, and so on. The truth will out, blame will be apportioned and we will move on.

In fact, America’s political excesses seem only to become crises when they are fomented into a sine wave of peaks and valleys as part of the media’s relentless quest for head-lines and ratings. When there is no actual crisis, one must be created. When there is nothing new to report, what has been reported must be repeated, at higher volume.

The overarching goal may be to inform, but delivering popular outrage and higher ratings is essential. No surprise,

then, that another meme making the rounds is that our poli-tics, if not our system of government, is broken. As proof of our national dysfunction we are reminded that the cost of presidential and congressional campaigns this year will approach $6 billion.

Cue the hysteria.Six billion dollars is real money, but, just for comparison

sake, we should note that in 2011 Americans also spent $10 billion on romance novels, $7 billion on Halloween, and $2.2 billion on tattoos.

Obviously we should be concerned about the influence of money in politics, but perhaps this election showed that somehow or other, our cumbersome, nasty, ugly and fractious sausage factory of a system worked. Many, if not most, who spent a fortune to sway the results failed to achieve their objectives. In the end, Americans voted, elected their candidates, and accepted the outcomes.

Thus we move on.So let’s take a deep breath. Whatever the challenge,

whatever the crisis, we know that getting through it won’t be pretty, yet we will find a way to get it done.

This country is like one of those crazy families that screams at one another around the holiday table, but some-how still considers itself a family. As Warren Buffett said, however, it has never paid to bet against America.

Our current crisis notwithstanding, I wouldn’t start now.Perry B. Newman is a South Portland resident and

Democracy for saleIn the two years since the conservative ideologues

on the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Citizens United that corporations should be free to spend as much money as they want on U.S. elections, we have seen the predicted flood of ill-gotten gain pour into our democracy like Sandy into Jersey.

Just imagine what we could have done with the estimated $6 billion to $8 billion wasted on political pornography in 2012.

The good news is that the filthy lucre of the U.S. Chamber and Super PACs generally did not sway the outcome of elections. Close to $11 million was spent on Maine’s U.S. Senate race, for instance, and the numbers at the polls were the same as they were when the candi-dates announced – An-gus King by a landslide, Charlie Summers with the hardcore GOP 30 percent and Cynthia Dill in the teens. We were all, however, forced to endure crass lies, distortions and hyperbole for several months while corporate fat cats tried to buy our votes.

Justice Samuel Alito recently defended the highly controversial Idiots United decision on the grounds that, unless all corporations were free to spend un-limited amounts of money on elections, only media corporations would have free speech. Leave it to a conservative to argue that allowing big corporations to buy American elections is the American way.

For most of my life, from 1949 to 1987, the U.S. had the Fairness Doctrine in place, requiring that hold-ers of broadcast licenses present all sides of issues in a fair, honest and balanced way. There is still an Equal Time provision for political candidates. We used to know how to regulate the political marketplace.

Now the quintet of court clowns who decided Citizens United, overturning more than a century of precedents, insist that money is free speech. Money is not speech and it certainly isn’t free speech. They also held that corporations are people. Only corporate stooges believe that. Never in a million years would the Founding Fathers, who conservatives are so fond of embracing (and misunderstanding), have contemplated granting the same rights to a legal entity that apply to

human beings.The Roberts Court is so wrong in so many ways, not

the least of which being the American people’s com-plete loss of faith in the Supreme Court, that there are now several movements afoot to seek a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United.

Personally, I could support Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Saving American Democracy Amendment, which would amend the U.S. Constitution to make it clear that “1) Corporations are not persons with constitu-tional rights equal to real people, 2) Corporations are subject to regulation by the people, 3) Corporations may not make campaign contributions or any elec-tion expenditures, and 4) Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.”

This makes so much common sense that there is no way it is ever going to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. The more likely scenario is that Obama-appointed justices will eventually reverse Citizens United. Neither corporations nor unions should be allowed to contribute to candidates or elections.

In the meantime, we have to put up with shadowy cabals pumping obscene amounts of money into state and national elections and delusional conservatives suppressing the vote and seeing phantom Black voters appear out of nowhere. It seems they just can’t believe that they couldn’t buy this election. Sorry, Mitt, but the truth is free and far more powerful than an expensive lie.

If we are not going to enact meaningful campaign finance reform however, maybe it is time to put democracy up for sale. Republicans want to privatize everything anyway, so why not elections?

Instead of corporate profits (made by exploiting workers, consumers and the environment) enriching television, radio and newspaper corporations with millions and billions in political advertising, maybe we should skip the middle men and let the money go straight to voters.

My Selling American Democracy Amendment would state that 1) registered voters are free to sell their votes to the highest bidder and 2) whoever buys the most votes wins. At least that way there would be no pretense of democratic purity, and the American people would get the benefit of the corrupt dollars, not the very media outlets that should be exposing the financial rot at the heart of the American political system.

Rail advocate clarifies long-term goal

I’ve just seen Edgar Allen Beem’s piece “Riding the rails” and I believe he misunderstood my emphasis on one point. He writes, referring to me, that “... His own new vision is for a second passenger line out of

Maine through Worcester and Providence to New York City, etc.”

A through train between

Portland and New York over the original State of Maine Express has been part of TrainRiders/Northeast’s origi-nal goals and objectives created by its board of direc-tors in 1989. It is not a new idea and certainly not my “... own new vision ... .” I do remember saying to Mr. Beem that “personally I’d like to see that goal completed before I move on ...,” but to refer to it as a new idea and my own personal idea is simply not correct.

Scarborough rep’s agenda should be obvious

Odd that state Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough, would feel the need to state to your reporter that she "has no agenda." That she felt compelled to say it is, of course, the most obvious indication that she does in fact have an agenda – a Koch brothers-, ALEC-inspired agenda, as shown by her sponsorship in the Maine House of various ALEC-linked bills.

Disappointing that more coastal Scarborough voters are apparently oblivious to it.

she was having lunch with his mother. He frequently paid vis-its to her home on Northern Avenue. They were married June 29, 1947, and spent their honey-moon at Square Lake. They had two sons, Fred and John.

Cole had many interests. He golfed on most of the courses in Maine, and was an avid woodwooker, duck hunter and fisherman, as well as an amateur radio operator with the call sign N1ESW. He loved taking his family to a log cabin on Seboomook Lake.

Cole was a member of the Gardiner American Legion, a 50-plus year member of Herman Lodge #32 A.F. & A.M. in Gardiner, and a Past Master of Mid-Coast Maine Grand Council #205, Knights Templar. He also held many other Ma-sonic posts, and for over 20 years, was the Gardiner DeMolay Chapter Dad and the DeMolay basketball coach. With a reputation as being conservative, tough-minded and extremely practical, he was a righteous man who quietly helped many people in need.

He was predeceased by his parents and siblings.

Cole is survived by his wife, Barbara, of Scarborough; son Fred and his wife, Nora; son John and his wife, Beryl; and several grandchildren, great-grandchil-dren, nieces and nephews.

There will be a Masonic service at Sta-ples Funeral Home at 10 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 8, followed by a full military grave-side service at Oak Grove Cemetery. After the burial, friends and family are gathering at Highland Avenue Methodist Church in Gardiner for light snacks and reminiscing.

The women managed to eke out a 71-69 decision in double overtime to improve to 7-1 overall (and 3-0 in Yankee Small College Conference play). Emily Bard led the way with 17 points. Maria Veino added 14 and Rogetta Donalson had 13. The men weren’t as fortunate, dropping a 72-67 decision despite 18 points, five rebounds and four assists from Jose Nouchanthavong and 10 points, seven boards and six steals from Mike Harmon. The Seawolves fell to 9-2 with the loss (but remain 5-0 in the con-ference). SMCC hosts Vermont Technical College Saturday. The women tip at 1 p.m. The men begin at 3 p.m.

In jewel-like colors and detailed structure, the three sets of varied fictional animals come to life in a combination of graphite, watercolor and colored pencil. Each creature’s features are based on successful traits of existing life, but as imagined by the artist’s mind, sometimes with surprising results.

Christmas at the Cathedral, Natalie MacMaster, moreBy Scott Andrews

Musical offerings dominate this week’s top choices in the performing arts.

Without doubt, the No. 1 pick for the weekend will be Christmas at the Cathe-dral. The Choral Art Society produces this concert, with four performances scheduled for Dec. 1-2 in Portland.

Another big concert will be Natalie MacMaster’s Dec. 4 Christmas show at Merrill Auditorium. Best-known as a traditional Canadian fiddler who plays in the Cape Breton style, MacMaster adds a distinctively modern touch to her music.

Two very unconventional groups are also performing in Portland. The Bob Band, a tribute act that performs the mu-sic of Bob Dylan, appears this Saturday at One Longfellow Square. The Bob Band is celebrating the 45th anniversary of the release of Dylan’s album “John Wesley Harding.”

Cadillac Moon Ensemble will appear on the Portland String Quartet’s subscrip-tion series on Sunday. But don’t expect a traditional string quartet. Cadillac Moon Ensemble is an avant-garde group from New York that comprises violin, cello, flute and percussion.

Christmas at the CathedralIf you are among the many traditional-

ists who are profoundly saddened by the blizzard of over-hyped, in-your-face com-mercialism that dominates contemporary Christmas celebrations, you should know that the perfect musical antidote is com-ing up this weekend.

For a pleasing, harmonious and spiri-tual experience that is totally in keeping with the core concept of the season, attend the Choral Art Society’s 25th annual Christmas at the Cathedral. I’ve been going for about 10 years, and this outstanding concert has become my per-sonal No. 1.

Under the direction of Robert Russell, a longtime University of Southern Maine professor, the CAS offers a program that exalts the traditional music of the Advent season, augmented by modern works that are in total harmony with those traditions.

Joined by the Portland Brass Quintet plus Dan Moore on the cathedral’s organ, CAS will perform a variety of traditional and modern Christmas music. This year’s guest artist is Suzanne Nance, a conser-vatory-trained operatic soprano who is best known for hosting the Maine Public Radio’s classical music show.

To mark the 25th anniversary of Christ-mas at the Cathedral, the CAS has com-missioned a new work for brass quintet and chorus from Boston Conservatory music professor Kevin Siegfried.

Each year’s concert includes the signa-ture processional, “Personent Hodie,” an

Fiddler Natalie MacMaster will bring her Christmas show to Merrill Auditorium in Portland on Dec. 4.

arrangement of a Renaissance tune for brass and organ. The concert concludes with “Silent Night” performed by singers holding lighted candles and encircling the hall.

CAS has about 150 members. All singers are selected by audition; their goal is to enhance their personal musical experience and enrich the cultural life of southern Maine. In addition to their own slate of concerts, CAS performs a major work nearly every year with the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

Four performances are planned this weekend at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress St. in Port-land: Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 2 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. In addition, a “special preview” concert will be held on Satur-

day, Dec. 1 at noon. Call 828-0043.Natalie MacMaster

Portland Ovations brings holiday cheer to Merrill Auditorium with its presenta-tion of virtuoso Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster in a special Christmas show on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

MacMaster will perform her holiday concert, titled “Christmas in Cape Bret-on,” which takes the audience on a musi-cal sleigh ride through Nova Scotia by way of both traditional and contemporary Celtic melodies and Christmas carols. MacMaster brings boundless energy to her live performances with foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-rending ballads and world-class step dancing.

I’ve attended her concerts on several occasions, and she’s definitely one of the most vibrant performing artists I’ve ever seen.

MacMaster has established herself as an electrifying performer across the world with a career spanning more than three-decades and amassing many awards including multiple gold albums, two Grammy nominations (with one win), a Juno Award, eight Canadian Country Music Awards and other accolades. (The Juno Award is Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy.)

Portland Ovations presents Natalie MacMaster’s “Christmas in Cape Breton”

at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

The Bob BandThree years ago, four guys from south-

ern Maine and New Hampshire created a very unusual band that exclusively specializes in the music of the legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Formed and fronted by Dennis Bailey, The Bob Band plays gigs around New England, often tailoring concerts around specific themes.

Bailey, a passionate Dylan fan, believes in performing the singer’s entire opus, rather than simply concentrating on a concert’s worth of favorite hits. An ex-ample happens this Saturday in Portland, when The Bob Band will perform a trib-ute to the 45th anniversary of the release of Dylan’s seminal album, “John Wesley Harding,” a collection of original songs that marked a return to acoustic roots.

The first half of The Bob Band’s concert will be the complete album. Its best-known song is “All Along the Watchtower.” The second half of the con-cert will include a sampling of Dylan’s work, which spans more than 50 years and multiple genres.

Catch The Bob Band at 8 p.m. Dec. 1 at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland. Call 761-1757.

Cadillac Moon EnsembleAnother musical event that’s utterly

unrelated to Christmas and totally avant-garde is this Sunday’s concert by Cadillac Moon Ensemble, four exciting young New York artists who are playing on the Portland String Quartet’s subscription series.

Two salient aspects of the Cadillac Moon Ensemble stand out in my mind. First is the very unconventional lineup: a violin, cello, flute and percussion. Be-cause there is very little traditional music written for such a grouping of instru-ments, CME’s second claim to singularity is that virtually everything they play is written on commission.

Formed in 2007, CME has commis-sioned more than 50 pieces. CME focus-es on retaining the intimacy of chamber music while exploring a very different palette of sonic possibilities.

The ensemble’s connection to the Portland String Quartet? Flutist Roberta Michel grew up in Maine and won the PSQ’s annual high school competition about a decade ago. Her prize for win-ning was performing on the subscription series. PSQ violist Julia Adams admires the way Michel has seamlessly transi-tioned from traditional classical reper-toire to avant-garde.

The pieces that will be played on this Sunday’s concert all revolve around the theme of movement: what things move, how things move and how they affect other things by their movement.

Catch the Cadillac Moon Ensemble at 2 p.m. Dec. 2 at Woodford’s Con-gregational Church, 202 Woodford St. in Portland. Call the LARK Society at 761-1522.

Sandyfrom page 1

distribute clothes from the back of a rented truck near a relief center in Queens, N.Y., last weekend. The two were among a group who collected goods in South Portland and Scarborough to donate to

Hurricane Sandy victims in New York.

Inside the truck was donated food, water, clothing, and other supplies col-lected Friday afternoon outside stores in South Portland and Scarborough. Most of the material came from shoppers at the Wal-Mart on Gallery Boulevard in Scarborough, York said.

“We had workers coming out and thanking us for being there,” she said. “A lot of mothers were coming out with diapers and baby food, almost like they were waiting for someone to do this.”

York, the mother of two boys, has been collecting and delivering items since early this month. She joined forces with Occupy Maine members to expand the efforts last week.

“It seemed liked no one was talking about it anymore,” she said about why she started her own relief work. “I started getting reports back from a friend, Alan Porter, and hearing about devastation.”

For several weeks, York drove collect-ed donations to a relief center operated by Queens-based You Are Never Alone, also known by its YANA acronym. By arriving and leaving in darkness, York said she did not fully understand the scope of storm damage within a block of the relief center.

“It was sort of surreal,” she said. “It didn’t feel like I was in the U.S.”

Kara Oster, a Portland resident and Oc-cupy Maine member who helped collect

items last Friday and joined York, Antho-ny and Hessian later during the weekend, has made several trips to Queens.

“You don’t know what the damage is really like,” she said. “It’s destroyed, debris is everywhere.”

York, Hessian and Anthony and the materials arrived Saturday, after more stops to collect donations in New Hamp-shire. Hessian said a room was set aside at YANA to distribute supplies at no cost – and everything was gone within about four hours.

Once the supplies were gone, the group

gathered other clothing items and gave them away from the back of the truck.

Like York, Hessian was making his first daylight trip to Queens, and he recorded his impressions in his blog. Close to the relief center, a grate over the entrance was all that was left of a beauty parlor.

“It is breathtaking to see what nature can do and to think of the sadness and pain this must have caused,” he said. “I could just imagine going to this beauty shop and now it is just rubble. I was re-ally overwhelmed.”

The group was also assisted by Occupy

Maine members, including Porter, who was already in New York as the Occupy movement morphs into Occupy Sandy. It is a natural progression, Oster and Anthony said.

“It’s almost easier to help people than do something for yourself,” Anthony said.

At the relief center and walking through the neighborhood, York said she had striking conversations with storm victims.

“I spoke with one mother trying to do the best she could for her kids (who) was glad we could bring baby food and hats for her kids,” she said.

As she watched one family trying to remove debris, York said she learned people are needed as much as materials to help the storm recovery.

“The biggest thing they need is people for the clean-up. They don’t have enough hands down there,” she said.

York and Occupy members intend to continue smaller-scale deliveries. Re-covery efforts organized by the Occupy movement can be viewed online. Locally, donations can be made online or from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily at the State Street Congregational Church, 159 State St. in Portland.

microscope at Northeastern University.

students returned to the lab with the dif-ferent sets of seaweed they gathered and put them under a microscope.

They found that one of the species was dramatically different than the native species and posted their findings through the Gulf of Maine Research Institute’s Vital Signs program, an online research platform aimed at locating invasive spe-cies in Maine.

Their teacher, Susan Richman, has previously worked on projects with Vital Signs and directed the students to use the program to connect with interested scientists, said Christine Voyer, one of GMRI’s Vital Signs staffers.

Matt Bracken, a marine biology profes-sor at Northeastern, who is leading the research on the species, took notice of the student’s observation and confirmed their suspicion by posting a comment their page.

Bracken said Cape Elizabeth is the far-thest north they’ve recorded the seaweed. It has now been found in several areas, including Fort Williams Park, Two Lights State Park and Kettle Cove.

“What we know about it is that it’s faster growing, more effective at taking up nutrients and less susceptible to be-ing eaten by animals that keep seaweed in check,” he said, noting that it also reproduces quickly because it is soft and

breaks apart easily. “It has an incredibly large thermal tolerance. It can survive from Newfoundland to Florida.”

The seaweed, originally from Japan, in-vaded Europe in the 1980s, Bracken said, spreading for 800 kilometers along the Norwegian coast in less than five years.

Although they don’t have enough evidence to show a causal relationship in places where the seaweed has been

found, native species have declined, Bracken said.

Researchers don’t know how long the species has been in New England, but they know it has worked its way up the coast, and in addition to Maine, has been found New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

The first sighting of the seaweed was by chance. In 2009, a Connecticut biolo-

gist walking along the beach spotted the invasive seaweed on the shore in Rhode Island, Bracken said.

“It was kind of a eureka moment when he found that it was even present,” he said, adding that it takes a well-trained eye to identify the seaweed as invasive because it looks similar to some the na-tive species.

Finding the unwelcome marine algae is one thing, Bracken said; removing it is where things get difficult.

“There are times of year when there are areas with much less abundance where we can do targeted removals. On the land you can go in and train a group of citizens volunteers and walk through and pull out the invasive plants,” he said. “Underwater, it gets to be a lot trickier.”

Aside from human intervention, Brack-en said the other possibility is to trans-plant herbivores to the area, such as sea urchins. But this is also difficult because the number of urchins in the area is low.

Bracken’s group at Northeastern is pre-paring a publication about the species ex-pansion to Maine and are partnering with other groups in Cape Cod and southern New England to study the species.

Challengesfrom page 1


last year.House was nominated from a field of

six applicants who provided resumes, written materials and answered ques-tions during a Nov. 13 workshop. It was the small huddles of councilors after the question-and-answer session as they decided on a nominee that rankled Councilor Rosemarie De Angelis and School Board members Richard Carter and Richard Matthews.

“It was an executive session held in public,” said Carter, who was nominated to be the new School Board chairman in a Nov. 14 caucus of board members.

Matthews said the conversations to make House the nominee were a “mis-judgement,” but a consensus to amend the City Charter to elect someone to fill a School Board vacancy did not develop. Instead, there will be more review of a proposed protocol to be included in standing council rules, with a provision that nominations and public discussion

will take place at the first council meet-ing after a workshop where board appli-cants present themselves.

Godin said the advent of charter schools, with the opening next fall of the Baxter Academy for Technology and Science in Portland could drain revenues from the state and incur district expenses if home-schooled or children attending private schools opt for a charter school.

Up to 10 percent of freshmen and sophomores enrolled in city schools could be accepted to a charter school, and about $7,600 per student in state subsidies could be diverted from school district revenues. An initial estimate max-imizes the revenue hit at about $300,000, based on full available enrollment at charter schools by city students.

City Finance Director Greg L’Heureux noted the increases in the tax rate needed for debt service on the bonds funding high school renovation and construc-tion will be leveling off in the next three years, and low interest rates mean the total effect is less than originally esti-mated, at 72 cents per $1,000 as opposed

to 80 cents.But as Gailey noted, the council and

city officials will be pushing hard for passage of a bond next year to fund construction of the new public works, transportation and parks and recreation facility at the transfer station on Highland Avenue.

Initial estimates for the bond, including interest, have approached $22 million, and L’Heureux and others are looking for ways to reduce costs. But Gailey said replacing the current public works depot is essential.

Gailey said two buildings at the cur-rent site on O’Neil Street have been condemned, and it is time to move opera-tions out of the residential neighborhood while consolidating city services.

“The transfer station land meets every-thing we need,” he said.

The workshop preceded the swearing in of new councilors and school board members, scheduled for Monday, Dec. 3, at 4 p.m.

The South Portland City Council is in a greater state of flux than the School Board, with Councilors Linda Cohen and Melissa Linscott taking seats previously held by Councilors Maxine Beecher and De Angelis, respectively.

Also, by early next year, Councilor Tom Coward will have resigned his Dis-trict 1 seat as he becomes a Cumberland County commissioner. A special election to replace Coward may be held within 60 days after his resignation, according to the City Charter.

The School Board welcomes House. Incumbents Tappan Fitzgerald, Matthews and James Gilboy were all re-elected to three-year terms. Fitzgerald, the current board chairman, has been nominated as vice chairman.

Formal votes on the caucus choices for Blake as mayor and Carter as School Board chairman will be held Monday after the swearing-in ceremonies.
