the forecaster, mid-coast edition, august 3, 2012

By Amber CroninBRUNSWICK — As work

continues to create a more vi-brant, community feel at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, the town will gain ac-cess to some new recreation space in the fall.

A year ago the Recreation, Trails and Open Space Commit-tee applied for a technical grant through the National Parks Ser-vice’s Rivers, Trails and Con-servation Assistance Program for help writing a multi-phase

plan to develop trail systems and other recreation venues on about 800 acres of land at Brunswick Landing.

“Our program works outside of the National Park Service to help create trails and open space and places where people can go outside in their own back yard,” said Julie Isbill, project manager at the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Pro-gram. “This project is a perfect

Public gets first look at Maine Street proposalsBy Amber Cronin

BRUNSWICK — The first of several public forums on poten-tial changes to Maine Street and the downtown district was a suc-cess, Councilor Margo Knight said Tuesday.

Knight said about 75 people turned out for the public forum on Monday night to look at op-tions for roundabouts and the addition of bike lanes to Maine Street.

“We had five breakout tables

looking at the different plans for Maine Street,” she said. “We have three different options for roundabouts at Pleasant and Maine streets, and people ap-proached this with a very posi-tive, open attitude. It was really good to hear a lot of people very interested and positive about things that we could do to make downtown better for everybody.”

The Master Plan Implementa-tion Committee presented two detailed plans for changing

traffic lanes on Maine Street between Gilman Place and Town Hall Place.

One of the plans inserts bike lanes next to the sidewalk on each side and keeps head-in di-agonal parking, with two travel lanes and a turn lane. The other plan has back-in front-forward angle parking and continues the four lanes of travel, turning one lane into a share-row for bicy-clists and vehicles.

“The only way (the second

plan) could work is to have the back-in, front-out parking be-cause people would be backing into the bike lane and couldn’t see cars coming,” Knight said. “That was not a very popular concept at all.”

She said that the beauty of having such a wide main street is that the width of the road will not have to be changed to ac-commodate the changes in the plans, but that there might be a little changing “here or there.”

Residents, however, expressed concern about the loss of down-town parking spaces.

“We don’t want to lose park-ing spaces downtown,” Knight agreed.

She said that parking is a “perceived” problem in down-town Brunswick and that if people feel they can’t find park-ing they will avoid the area and its businesses because they feel

Bath panel to consider Huse School possibilitiesBy Alex Lear

BATH — With the E.L. Huse Memorial School soon to be vacant, a City Council subcom-mittee this month is expected to explore options for the build-ing’s reuse.

The Economic Development Committee also plans to look into establishing policy for dis-posing of city-owned properties.

The 39 Andrews Road build-ing, built in 1941 with an ad-

dition in 1949, has more than 33,000 square feet. It was re-cently occupied by the Regional School Unit 1 central office, which later moved its offices to the nearby Small School in April 2010.

The move allowed the stu-dents and staff of Woolwich Central School to attend classes in the building while their own

SMCC pushes ahead with Brunswick campus expansionBy Amber Cronin

BRUNSWICK — As the largest school in Maine’s community college system, Southern Maine Community College has long struggled with space.

But despite an obstacle from the LeP-age administration, an expansion of courses and classrooms at Brunswick Landing could change all that.

The campus in Brunswick is not an-other one of SMCC’s satellite programs, SMCC President Ronald Cantor said.

“My philosophy of college education, especially community college education is to place the college at the heart of the community and the community at the heart of the college,” he told the Town Council on July 23. “Now SMCC is go-

Brunswick-raised soldier dies in South KoreaBy Amber Cronin

BRUNSWICK — U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe mourned the loss of another of Maine’s sons, who died last Friday while serving his country.

U.S. Army Capt. David Haas, 30, died June 27 in Seoul, South Korea, after he was struck by a city bus while crossing the street in the Gangnam area of Seoul, the military newspaper Stars and Stripes reported.

Haas served two tours of duty in Iraq and was stationed with the 403rd Field Support

ing to have two full-service, comprehen-sive campuses: South Portland and the new full-service campus in Brunswick at Brunswick Landing.”

Enrollment has rapidly grown since the Brunswick campus opened last fall. When doors opened last September only 79 students were enrolled. As of this week, there were 255 students already enrolled for the fall semester. Enrollment continues through the start of the school year on Aug. 27.

Most of the programming at the Bruns-wick campus is focused on regional industries, such as pre-engineering, com-posites technology and nursing, and is slightly different, other than core liberal studies classes, than what is offered at the

South Portland campus.“We’re really focusing on program-

ming that will help Brunswick Landing and all of Mid-Coast, which has been underserved by education, particularly higher education,” James Whitten, dean of the Mid-Coast campus, said.

He said that, like the South Portland campus, Brunswick will offer the nursing program. The Maine Fire Service Institute will move from South Portland to Bruns-wick, too, but the majority of the classes are aimed at giving area residents the tools to succeed in the local workforce.

“We are doing everything we can to

give people the tools they need to have success in this economy,” Whitten said. “I think that’s one of the hooks that the col-lege provides is not only access, but the skills that the workforce is asking for.”

The campus has five buildings, but due to budget constraints only three of the five buildings can be used.

“We actually have no operating bud-get,” Cantor said. “But we’re not waiting, we’re going to continue to make our own investment.”

The major funding obstacle is that Gov. Paul LePage has frozen education bond money across the state. Without that money, renovations on SMCC’s remain-

Brigade in Seoul, the newspaper said.Stars and Stripes reported that the acci-

dent took place at 11:45 p.m., when Haas and a friend illegally crossed the street on their way to a local bar. The bus that struck Haas was traveling, in the bus-only lane, at approximately 30 mph.

Haas died in the ambulance on the way to Gangnam Severance Hospital. His friend was not injured.

Police reported that neither of the men, nor the bus driver, was intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Haas, a Brunswick native, graduated from Brunswick High School and later the University of Richmond. He also served as an intern in Collins’ Washing-ton D.C. office in 2004.

“I am incredibly saddened to learn of the death of Capt. Haas,” Collins said in a statement released July 28. “My

Harpswell selectmen trim property tax rateBy Amber Cronin

HARPSWELL — Property taxes are going down.

At their July 26 meeting, the Board of Selectmen unanimously approved dropping the mil rate to $5.76 per $1,000 of assessed value, from the current rate of $5.80.

The change, which is retroactive for fis-cal 2012 tax bills, is designed to provide the town with enough money to cover abatements, while keeping the tax rate af-fordable for residents.

Officials originally proposed setting the rate at either $5.80, $5.75 or $5.70, but the $5.76 rate gave them an even number for the overlay that wasn’t too skimpy.

“We thought the $5.76 gave us a very healthy overlay of $169,000,” Town Ad-ministrator Kristi Eiane said. “One of the points in choosing a mil rate is not to have

PORTLAND — Sun Media Group and the Bangor Daily News are proud to announce that The Forecaster and BDN are now working together to offer Maine the most comprehensive news, information, sports and entertainment coverage in the state.

fractional problems (because $5.74 and $5.75 did not come out even).”

Eiane said that if the town had elected to drop the mil rate to $5.70 there would not have been enough money in the overlay and officials felt more comfortable having slightly more overlay.

“Overlay is basically a term that is used in statistics, which allows the addition of money that can be asked of the taxpayer,” she said. “It allows you to build up a bal-ance to cover abatements or supplements (to the budget).”

With the new mil rate, the average ho-meowner will pay about $1,750 in annual property taxes, based on average property values from 2009.

Library leaseIn other business, selectmen imposed

more stringent guidelines on use of the

Ash Point Community Library.At the previous meeting of the board

on July 12, Chairwoman Elinor Multer and Selectman Alison Hawkes were concerned that the Ash Point Community Library allowed groups to come into the library during its hours of operation.

They said the use of the library by outside groups, such as a “Mommy and Me” group, could disrupt typical library operations.

Library Board President Donna Frisoli confronted the board on July 26, but was rebuked by Multer.

“The question of your holding meet-ings during the hours when the library is open is a little troublesome, as it

may discourage people from coming in and browsing the books and taking out books,” the chairwoman said. “The group, the activity, is a legitimate activity of a library, but should be scheduled on other hours.”

Frisoli responded that while the town owns the building, the library is private and its board should have the authority to decide who can use the library at what times. She also said that the one time an outside group came into the library, the board discussed it and told them it wasn’t an ideal situation and they would not be returning.

“These are the kinds of decisions that you have to entrust our board to be ma-ture enough and intelligent enough to

Cape lawyer’s judicial nomination denied Senate voteBy David Harry

PORTLAND — Despite objections from both of Maine’s U.S. senators, a confirmation vote for a Cape Elizabeth lawyer nominated to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston will not be scheduled before the November general election.

William Kayatta Jr., now a trial lawyer with Portland-based Pierce Atwood, was nominated by President Barack Obama to fill the appeals court seat vacated by Judge Kermit Lipez, a South Portland resident.

Lipez is taking senior judicial status, opening a spot on the circuit that serves Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Puerto Rico. The appeals court sits one rung below the

FileWilliam Kayatta Jr.


Supreme Court of the United States. Kayatta was nominated in January and his nomination cleared the Senate Judi-ciary Committee in the spring.

Prospects of a full Senate vote to confirm his nomination were eliminated Monday when a vote to end debate on another nomination failed, 56-34. Senate rules require 60 votes to invoke cloture, or end debate. After the vote, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Senate Majority Lead-er, announced he will not schedule any more judicial appointment votes.

Maine’ Republican senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, each sup-ported Kayatta’s nomination and voted

to end debate Monday on the nomination of Oklahoman Robert Bacharach to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“I have strongly supported Bill’s nomi-nation from day one and will continue to work with the Senate leadership in an effort bring his nomination to the floor for a vote, with the hope that the major-ity leader will reconsider his decision on this critical matter,” Snowe said Monday.

Collins said she voted to proceed to the nomination of Bacharach because he is a “highly experienced and well-qualified nominee.”

“With very little time until the August recess,” Collins said, “it remains my hope that the Senate will confirm Bill Kayatta, whose qualifications are equally impressive.”

Blocking judicial appointments by extended debate in a presidential elec-tion year is a practice first attributed to the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. It has been used by both parties since 1968, and has been called both the “Thurmond Rule” and “Leahy Rule” because of its use by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.

The final vote to end debate on Bacha-rach was 56-34, with Republican Sens. Tom Coburn and James Inofe of Okla-homa and Orrin Hatch of Utah voting “present,” instead of yes or no, to end debate.

The failure to end debate on Bacha-rach’s nomination also endangers votes for Richard Taranto, nominated to the Federal Circuit, and Patty Shwartz, nominated to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Bath to celebrate 50th anniversary of Zorach fountainBy Alex Lear

BATH — The acclaimed Zorach foun-tain is turning 50 this month, and its admirers are invited to celebrate at City Park on Sunday, Aug. 5.

The Friends of the Zorach Fountain are hosting the public event, which will

be held at the Patten Free Library from 3-5 p.m.

The fountain, created by William Zorach and dubbed “Spirit of the Sea,” was installed and dedicated to the city in August 1962.

The Bath Municipal Swing Band will offer music, and attendees can enjoy re-freshments and hear a brief program of speakers that include representatives of the city, the Zorach family and the Maine Arts Commission.

The late Margie Bliss, who with her husband, Arthur, began the sculpture’s restoration and started the Friends of the Zorach Fountain in 2002, will also be remembered during the celebration. The completed restoration was celebrated seven years ago this month.

Liz Messler, a member of the Friends board, said last week that “our ongoing job as a board is the constant conserva-tion of that piece of art. ... It’s kind of ongoing maintenance.”

Alex leAr / The ForecAsTerThe Zorach fountain's 50th birthday will be celebrated Sunday, Aug. 5, at City Park.

Born in 1889 in Lithuania, Zorach was recognized in 1915 as the dean of American sculpture in New York for his reintroduction of the method of carving directly in stone, according to informa-tion Messler provided. In 1923 he and his wife purchased property in Georgetown.

According to friendsofthezorachfoun-tain.mainefolks.com, the Bath Garden Club invited Zorach to design and sculpt the City Park fountain in February 1959. He offered to donate his work, as long as the club took on the expense of casting

in bronze, the plumbing, and the granite pedestal and base.

The club began fundraising that May, and by April 1962 it had reached its $15,000 goal, allowing preparatory work to begin in the park.

The Maine Arts Commission called the piece “perhaps the finest piece of outdoor sculpture in the state,” according to the Friends.Alex lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

The case of the vanishing TupperwareI’d like to touch upon a disturbing topic: things that

vanish.Any adult who has done laundry knows that socks dis-

appear. This has been a source of both fodder and much head scratching over the years. We all know the tale of woe – you put four pairs of matching socks into the dryer, and you get seven socks back at the end of the day. To where did sock number eight disappear? Who knows? As a society, we don’t even try to figure this out anymore. We’ve just accepted the fact that someone will occasionally be wearing non-matching socks, or one lonely sock will be going into the trash or relegated to the position of shoe-shining rag.

So I’m well aware of the sock phenomenon. But in the past year or so, I’ve also become aware of additional items that start out as part of a “pair,” or exist in seeming abundance, and then vanish into some sort of household black hole.

Let’s consider the plight of Tupperware, or any other brand of plastic food storage container. OK, there is the actual container, and then there is the lid. We purchase these container “sets." They are sent off to school or on a picnic or whatever, they go into the sink or the dish-

washer, and then, bam – all hell breaks loose.Recently, in an unusual act of domesticity, I woke up

with a deep-seated urge to take every piece of plastic storage-ware and spread it out on our kitchen counter. In our house, we keep these items in the bottom section of a freestanding vintage “Hoosier” cabinet. The containers are stacked according to shape (round, square, rectangu-lar) and the lids are in a separate basket. It’s not easy to access, and if you lack flexibility, you can forget about finding a container for your leftover coleslaw. (But we’re not a particularly practical family. We generally value aes-thetics over ease of use in most everything, and thankfully, our knees and backs are still in good condition.)

Anyway, as I pulled out all of the containers and lids, it was already clear that something was amiss; the basket full of lids was in definite disproportion to the stacks of receptacles.

In the end, I tossed at least a dozen topless containers into the recycling bin, along with approximately two-dozen bottomless lids.

How does this happen? Did they have arguments, and march off to someone else’s lunchboxes or picnic baskets? Did they not like living in our Hoosier cabinet? Was there a mutiny at some point?

Clothespins are another household item I find challeng-ing. Long ago, I ascertained that buying a $3 package of 100 wooden clothespins and using them as clips to close bags of chips or cereal, etc., was preferable to spending $3 on two plastic “chip clips.” I may not have majored in eco-nomics, but I do know a marketing scam when I see one.

The need to hermetically seal every item in our kitchen

No SugarAdded

Sandi Amorello

became apparent upon moving to a seaside town; were it not for those clothespins, the Raisin Bran that Charles opens at 9 a.m. would be stale and inedible by 9:18 a.m. of the same day.

Therefore, we have a vintage yellow pottery bowl in our kitchen that I routinely refill with new clothespins. Why is this? Where do the clothespins go? Admittedly, some are in use, and one breaks upon occasion, or accidentally gets thrown away with the stale Cheerios. But what hap-pens to the rest?

My family keeps the clothespin industry in the black, apparently.

Perhaps my strategy is wrong. Perhaps if I sprung for the $1.50-each plastic clips, they wouldn’t disappear – much like when you purchase cheap sunglasses you inevitably lose them after a month, but when you splurge on the ones in the locked display cabinet, you have them for most of your adult life.

At this point, I fully expect anthropologists to one day find sprawling underground caverns, filled with mismatched food containers and lids, mateless socks, and lone clothes-pins sadly searching for open bags of Goldfish crackers.

Meanwhile, I have surrendered to the forces that be.

Halsey Frank


From London, a gold-medal lesson in getting alongI enjoyed the opening ceremonies for this summer’s

London Olympics, because of their quirkiness. It was so very British.

I liked “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle’s whizzing, dragonfly’s view of London and England. I liked the review of English history from pastoral to in-dustrial to digital age. I liked Daniel Craig’s James Bond picking up the Queen for a hop over to the stadium and a jump out of the helicopter. I liked the Queen’s corgis do-ing their tricks for the camera. I even liked John Cleese’s ad for living large like an aristocrat with Direct TV.

I’m not sure how it all relates to the Olympics, but then the games have strayed a bit from my understanding of their original purpose. The ancient Olympics were staged among the rival nation-sates of ancient Greece. Every four years, they would suspend hostilities to compete in athletic contests like foot races, wrestling, discus and javelin throws; to celebrate the winners, and to honor the Greek gods.

The Olympics were revived in the 1800s with an ethos of amateurism and a spirit that the most important thing was to take part, not to win.

Now, the Olympics accept professional athletes and experiment with nouvelle sports like synchronized swim-ming, golf, beach volleyball, rhythmic gymnastics, and table tennis. There is little respite from worldly hostili-ties, from the terrorist attacks at the Munich Games in 1972, to whether Iranian athletes will compete against Israeli athletes, to the presidential political ads running during the current London games.

I am also a big fan of another British TV show: Prime Minister Question Hour. Once a week, the leader of the United Kingdom submits to questions from members of Parliament. The general practice of putting questions to government ministers has been in effect for centuries. It has been refined and formalized over the years.

The PM gets to go first. The opposition leader second. Thereafter, the presiding officer, the speaker, calls upon members to ask questions, alternating between mem-bers of the government and members of the opposition. Members who wish to ask questions submit their names in advance. Names are drawn at random. Starting in the 1980s, Conservative PM Margaret Thatcher insisted on

answering the questions herself, rather than delegate the responsibility to one of the members of her cabinet.

PMQH is a constitutional convention. Britain does not have one formal, written constitution. It has a num-ber of charter documents, the most venerable of which may be the Magna Carta. Some of Britain’s funda-mental rules and practices, like PMQH, are not codi-fied in written law. They de-rive from custom, practice, and tradition. They are not enforceable in court.

PMQH is one of the best-known pieces of Parlia-mentary business. The ob-servation gallery is always filled. Here in America, you can watch it on C-SPAN, Wednesday mornings and Sunday evenings.

I caught a broadcast recently. The session started off with the leader of the liberal opposition Labor Party, Ed-ward Miliband, peppering Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron with criticisms: Cameron failed to keep his campaign promises; he lacked leadership and had lost the confidence of his own party; he was to blame for the poor state of the British economy.

Cameron defended himself by pointing out the respects in which he had led his party, and the country, to address its economic problems, whose origins predated his ten-ure, with responsible austerity measures. The exchange was as personally antagonistic as I can remember, as the two leaders popped up and down from their benches to put and parry questions.

It got so heated that the speaker intervened to call for order. Then things settled down and the proceedings shifted to the more familiar questions from members and answers from the PM. It is always impressive to see how the PM is well-informed about matters of his government both great and small, international and domestic, and how he responds to each member’s question with substance.

This is the type of exchange that I was used to seeing during PMQH. It includes a certain amount of hooray-ing and heckling from the back-benchers. However, even during the more acrimonious initial phase of the recent PMQH, you could see a hint of a smile on the opponents’ faces. Their attacks seemed mitigated by a sense of hu-mor and a sense of their common interest.

It’s good to mix with your opposition. To take their questions and give them your answers. To get to know them and give them a chance to know you. It fosters un-derstanding and defuses animosity. Done regularly and publicly, it can engender trust and confidence.

We do it less and less these days. People and politicians used to socialize with those of the opposite party. Now they stay away.

Our leaders should set a better example. At all levels. I give Mitt Romney enormous credit for venturing into one of President Obama’s core constituencies and speaking to the NAACP in July. All our leaders should do likewise. It doesn’t take a constitutional amendment. All they have to do is show up.

We must break our violent habits

Human experience and training lead to random acts of violence and random acts of kindness. We all know that in athletics, we learn a skill, like how to kick a soccer ball, shoot a hoop, swim a lap or serve a tennis ball; by repeating it. With enough repetition it becomes second nature, auto-matic. This happens because we have trained our brain and body; we have put in the time and energy. The same goes

for learning math, English, history, a foreign language or science; we go over the material, memo-rize the information

and techniques, often by repetition; we are training the brain and body and it becomes second nature, automatic.

So there is no surprise that people spending hours mas-tering violent video games and watching violent televi-sion shows and movies have been trained to violence and cruelty.

It is not complicated. Some ideas for beginning to reverse this trend are: don’t buy violent video games, turn off cruel and violent television shows, talk to your kids about how to handle natural competitive instincts in a civilized way. Set an example by being kind and decent. Unraveling the trend toward violence and cruelty in our society will take con-scious effort. Letting it go would end up hurting a lot more.

Area is fortunate to have Bath food bank

Thank you to our community for supporting the Bath Area Food Bank at the Midsummer Benefit Dinner.

Bath’s reinvigorated waterfront freight shed housed the event. Our farmers provided delicious and healthy local food. The Arrowsics provided terrific tunes. Local residents got the word out, bought tickets, donated mon-ey and food, decorated the venue, cooked and cleaned up. It was a wonderful community effort. Special thanks to Wiebke Theodore of the Bath Freight Shed Alliance and to Marcia Beach of the Food Bank who organized the event.

Together, our community raised over $3,000, enough money to provide more than 17,000 pounds of food (more than eight tons) to local families.

There are many people in our community that rely on the services provided by the Food Bank. One of the things we appreciate most about the organization is that it is run on a very tight budget and staffed entirely by volunteers. When you give money, time, or food to the Bath Area Food Bank it is used with great care and ef-ficiency. We are fortunate to have it.

The stuff of lifeThis summer my two brothers and I have been

slowly disposing of our parents’ worldly possessions. Mom and Dad are now living together in a nursing home, where a lifetime’s accumulation of material objects cannot follow.

Both of my parents grew up in Portland (Deering High ’40 and ’42), but they have moved around so much that I am amazed at the amount of stuff they managed to drag along with them. You’d think that having lived together in Brunswick (Bowdoin ‘49), Waterville (’50), Mechanic Falls (’51), San Di-ego (Navy, ’51-’52), Lewiston (’53), Auburn (’54), three places in Groton, Mass. (’55-’58), Pawtucket, R.I. (’58-’60), six different houses in Westbrook (including a mobile home) since 1960 (with brief stays in an apart-ment in Portland and a condo in Falmouth) that they would have managed to lighten their load along the way.

Not so.Even though they had

only been living on one floor of their duplex apart-ment for the past three years, the cupboards, draw-ers, closets, and basement were jammed with stuff that now has to find its way to a new home or the dump. It’s been a gradual process, because for several months we weren’t sure whether they might be com-ing home.

First I removed their important papers (wills, mili-tary records, birth certificates, etc.) and stored them in a strong box under my desk. Then I systematically disposed of perishable food, staples, clothing, cosmet-ics and pharmaceuticals, photographs, paintings, silverware, dishes and glassware, jewelry, sundries and notions. By the time we rented a 16-foot van last week there were just a few pieces of large furniture left to move – two couches, two desks, three chairs, a hutch, a maple bureau, an old unused computer moni-tor, and a king-size bed. We kept a couch, a desk, the hutch, and the bureau. The rest went to the dump.

As the first-born of my generation, I seem to have

become the default keeper of the family archive. Two new clear plastic tubs filled with vintage photographs are stacked in my dining room, ready to join the card-board boxes in the cellar containing my grandfather Beem’s war records and memorabilia. Everything else is already down in the basement waiting for my kids and my brothers’ kids to decide what of Grammy’s and Grampy’s they might want.

There’s a lot of sentimental value in family pho-tographs that go all the way back to about 1910, but there’s not much of any real monetary value. My Nana Gibson’s mink stole is in beautiful condition, but no one wears furs anymore, none of our kids want it, and the vintage clothing store already has six just like it on consignment for a mere hundred bucks or so.

Mom and Dad seem to have been enjoying the bits and pieces of their pasts that I’ve been bringing them – mostly photo albums and yearbooks. They have a photograph of Dad in his Maine Maritime Academy cadet uniform and Mom as a Westbrook Junior College coed on the shelf in their room, along with photographs of their parents, their children, their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren.

Their home is now empty except for a dozen or so boxes filled with an assortment of junk. I’m on my way over there now to sort through what remains because things such as birth certificates and gold watches have turned up in boxes of yarn, sewing sup-plies, picture frames, art supplies and costume jewelry.

I’ve had pretty good luck just leaving useful items such as irons and ironing boards, bookshelves, flow-erpots, and lamps out on the street for neighbors to adopt. Still, I must have hauled a dozen huge con-struction trash bags to the dump filled with the forgot-ten and the unwanted.

This whole process of sorting through and disposing of the stuff of life has made me want to tackle the tons of treasures and trash in my own drawers, cupboards, closets and cellar. I don’t envy the person who’ll have to clean up after me, but with any luck at all I’ll manage to dispose of my past before that becomes necessary.

Stephen Wayne Haller, 69BRUNSWICK — Stephen Wayne

Haller, 69, died unexpectedly at his home July 26. Born in Evansville, Ind., on July 8, 1943, he was the son of Clar-ence E. and Mary Louise Martin Haller.

Haller came to Maine at age 18 while serving in the U.S. Navy, and quickly fell in love with the local islands. Al-though he traveled extensively during his 23-year Navy career, the call of the sea always brought him back to Orr’s Island.

He attended Sacred Heart and Mater Dei schools in Evansville, and later graduated Southeastern Illinois College with honors.

Patriots open camp, but these eyes still on the SoxBy Bryan O’Connor

It may be hard to believe, but Patriots training camp is now underway.

Meanwhile, the schizophrenic Red Sox alternately inspire faith in a postseason push and make fans wonder whether they should bother to continue paying attention.

Both teams are perennial contenders with multiple championships in their recent past, but both are fresh off heart-breaking endings to promising seasons. Yet the experience of being a Red Sox fan is quite unlike that of being a Patriots fan.

For both clubs, the tone is set from the top. John Henry, Tom Werner, and Larry Lucchino bought the Red Sox in 2002 and immediately turned the team into a contender, committing more financial resources to the team than had ever been available and quickly installing a bright general manager in Theo Epstein and a world-class manager in Terry Francona. Epstein and Francona have moved on, taking some of the optimism surrounding the Red Sox with them, but the owner-ship group still inspires confidence.

Robert Kraft bought the Patriots at an even lower point in their history, in 1994, and didn’t take long to carry them to rel-evance. When he hired Bill Belichick as head coach in 2000, he began a period of success unrivaled in Patriots history and reminiscent of the Celtics’ dominance in the 1960s. Belichick may seem surly and even heartless, but no fan questions his commitment to putting the best possible team on the field every year.

For both teams, success throughout the 21st century has invited lofty expecta-tions every year. The Red Sox qualified for the playoffs in nine of the first 15 sea-sons after the advent of the wild card in 1995. In fact, should the Sox fail to make the playoffs for the third straight season in 2012, they would tie an unwelcome record set in the three years immediately preceding Henry’s purchase of the team. The team’s payroll is regularly between the second- and fourth-highest in the game, and they always seem to be in on the bidding for coveted free agents like Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez. Anything short of a playoff appearance is a failure at Fenway.

Fans of the Patriots may expect even more than fans of the Red Sox. With six playoff bids in each conference and no other great team in their division, the barrier to entry is lower for the Pats and in Belichick’s tenure, only the winters of 2002-03 and 2008-09 passed without the Patriots in a playoff game. Furthermore, while baseball’s playoffs can be a crap-shoot, football’s playoffs are designed to reward excellence, so not only do New England fans expect an appearance in the playoffs, but a win or two in January has come to feel like a birthright as well. As the Patriots’ title drought (currently seven seasons, the longest of any major sports team in New England) grows, fans get hungrier for a championship and every

Roundup

playoff loss becomes more painful than the last one.

Perhaps the biggest difference in the fan experience is that the Patriots lack an obvious rival, while the Red Sox are nearly a century into one of the most intense rivalries in sports. The Red Sox and Yankees play 18 times a year and sometimes add another seven games in the playoffs. For a decade and a half, the Yankees have spent more on player payroll than any other team, often nearly doubling the runner-up and dwarfing the lower-payroll teams by a factor of eight to 10. Not until Henry’s group insisted that the Red Sox couldn’t compete on the field without competing for the high-priced free agents was Boston’s payroll out of line with the rest of the league’s, but today, the Sox can afford to put a team full of stars on the field at all times. This only intensifies the rivalry that was born with Babe Ruth, fueled by Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, intensified by Bill Lee and Goose Gossage, and revitalized by Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez.

The experience of watching the Red Sox cannot be explained without refer-ence to the Yankees, whose name they spend the majority of every summer look-ing up at in the standings. In contrast, the Patriots very rarely look up at anyone in the standings. The Jets have been hated rivals during the Rex Ryan era, but the two have only met in three playoff games in their history, none of which was for a conference championship. The Dolphins have resembled a rival at times, but only in January of 1986 and 1998 did they play historically significant games.

The Patriots’ most obvious rival in the 21st century has been the Colts, but since the divisions were realigned, the two play each other less than once a year. They split AFC Championship Games in ’04 and ’07, but the Colts have since faded from relevance, their cycle of success a harsh reality for most teams in a league with a hard salary cap. The Giants are becoming a rival after two Super Bowls I’m reluctant to mention for fear that my twice traumatized editor may delete this paragraph, but it’s hard to consider a team in another conference a rival.

To be a fan of the Patriots is to root for the most shrewdly-run team in football, a team with a firmly established, all-time great quarterback and a supporting cast that seems to change every year in an effort to stay dominant and affordable. To be a fan of the Red Sox is to wit-ness excellence year in and year out, but to appreciate that excellence only if it somehow trumps the excellence of a team with even more financial resources and an even richer history.

While the rivalry brings healthy doses of insecurity and paranoia to the Red Sox experience, it also makes the payoff that much more ecstatic. Exorcising 86 years’ worth of demons by winning four straight against the Yankees and four more against the Cardinals in 2004 was

even sweeter than tuck-ruling and field-goaling past the Raiders and Rams in 2001. Legitimizing 2004 by finally win-ning the division and the World Series in 2007 and then returning to the playoffs in 2008 while the Yankees stayed home was

more cathartic than the Patriots steam-rolling all competition in 2004 and 2005.

There’s pride and comfort in rooting for the Patriots. Give me the paranoia and the payoff of Red Sox worship any day of the week. Even Sunday.

By Scott AndrewsSummer’s end may be approaching,

but there’s plenty more to go before the quiet period that begins on Labor Day weekend.

Most of Maine’s major summer music festivals take place outside Portland. But that changes next week when the Portland Chamber Music Festival, which debuted in 1994, returns for its 19th season. Artistic director and co-founder Jenny Elowitch has invited nearly two dozen of her fellow professional musi-cians to perform four principal concerts, which begin Aug. 9 on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus.

Baseball and summer are sort of synon-ymous. So are baseball and beaches. So why not combine the two with a baseball story at “Broadway on the Beach” – a phrase that Ogunquit Playhouse likes to use. “Damn Yankees,” in a special Boston Red Sox version, runs at the playhouse through Aug. 18. And – going, going, gone – it’s a homer.Portland Chamber Music Festival

Back in 1994, Jenny Elowitch, a classical violinist who played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and many other Hub ensembles, decided to launch a summer music festival in her hometown of Portland. Although Maine already had quite a slew of classical festivals and concert series, most took place in cities and town outside the Port City. Elowitch reasoned that because Portland is Maine’s cultural center, her new enterprise could find an artistic niche and a market.

Elowitch was right. Her venture worked. Now returning for its 19th edi-tion, the Portland Chamber Music Festi-val features four main-stage evening con-certs, Aug. 9, 11, 16 and 18, plus a free midday family presentation on Aug. 12.

Many aspects of the festival have re-mained constant over the years. Elowitch herself always performs, but in keeping

with the collaborative and democratic spirit of chamber music, she’s not spot-lighted in any way and the programming isn’t centered on herself. (It’s also worth noting that she now lives in Portland, while frequently commuting to Boston to play with the BSO and other groups.)

Elowitch’s original concept of a core of about two dozen professional musicians performing a variety of small-ensemble works from all periods and schools of music remains a bedrock principle of the festival.

This year’s “first” (Elowitch usually has at least one) is an appearance by a classical guitarist. David Leisner, who is on the guitar faculty of the New England Conservatory and the Manhattan School of Music, will appear in the first two concerts. On Aug. 9 he’ll be featured in Luigi Boccherini’s Quintet for Guitar and Strings, a less-often-heard masterpiece of the Italian Classical period.

On Aug. 11 Leisner will be featured,

along with soprano Tony Arnold, in an intriguing piece by contemporary com-poser Dominick Argento. Titled “Letters from Composers,” Argento’s idea is to take personal letters written by well known historical composers and set the texts to music.

Other works on the first two concerts? The Aug. 9 opener concludes with one of chamber music’s best-loved pieces, An-tonin Dvorak’s String Quintet in E Flat, commonly known as “The American.” The big item on the Aug. 11 concert will be Franz Schubert’s String Quintet in C Major, another beloved masterpiece of the genre.

All evening concerts are slated for 8 p.m. at the Abromson Community Education Center, 88 Bedford St. on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus. Call 320-0257 or visit pcmf.org.Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival

Although it takes place about an hour north of the Port City, the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival is a personal favorite with me and many other Portland resi-dents. In part that’s because artistic direc-

tor Laurie Kennedy is the longtime first violist with the Portland Symphony Or-chestra and she invites quite a few PSO musicians to play on her five-Tuesdays series in Harrison.

The final two concerts on the 2012 schedule are slated for Aug. 7 and 14. The first will feature one of the largest ensembles Kennedy has ever gathered onstage, as 13 musicians perform the Aaron Copland’s instrumental suite from “Appalachian Spring,” which famously quotes an old Shaker hymn, “Simple Gifts,” which was written a few miles away at the Shaker colony in New Gloucester.

The Aug. 14 finale is built around Rus-sian composers. Sergei Prokofiev, Aram Khachaturian, Dmitri Shostakovich and Mikhail Glinka.

All concerts take place at 7:30 p.m. at Deertrees Theatre and Arts Center, Deer-trees Road (about a mile out of Harrison village). Call Deertrees at 583-6747 or visit www.sebagofestival.org.

‘Damn Yankees’It’s August and the Boston Red Sox

are slumping along at the bottom of the American League East. So what’s new? If you were following the Bosox in the 1950s, you’d certainly scream “deja vu” from the top row of the Fenway Park bleachers.

Now you can root for the Red Sox from the cushioned seats of Ogunquit Playhouse, where “Damn Yankees” is running through Aug. 18.

The Boston Red Sox are the subject of one of the best Broadway musicals from the mid-1950s. “Damn Yankees” – which originally focused on the cellar-dwelling Washington Senators – has been partially re-written into a special Bosox version that’s currently circling the bases in Ogunquit. “Damn Yankees” is a grand slam; don’t miss it.

Here’s a quick recap of the story line. In the mid-1950s, a long-suffering middle-aged Red Sox fan is offered a Faustian deal by the Devil himself. In return for his soul, the paunchy, balding fan is transformed into the greatest player in baseball, a strapping young slugger who leads his team to the American League pennant.

The script for the original show was written by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop, based on the latter’s best-selling novel. The score was written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The book adapta-tions for the Red Sox adaptation – an Ogunquit exclusive – was written by contemporary playwright Joe DiPietro.

I loved the new version. Ogunquit’s production truly captures the magic of “Damn Yankees,” with D.C. Anderson and Sam Prince taking the role of the fan and the slugger respectively. Television star and style maven Carson Kressley does a nice turn as Mr. Applegate, the surrogate Devil in the show. I love the double-play comedienne combination of Erin Denman, as the Devil’s sexy, curva-ceous designated home-wrecker, and Jen-nifer Cody, as a mixed-up sportswriter.

Ogunquit Playhouse, a mile south of the village on U.S. Route 1, presents its exclu-sive Red Sox version of “Damn Yankees” through Aug. 18. Call 646-5511 or visit www.ogunquitplayhouse.org.

make the decision,” she said. “The more people we bring into the building, the more opportunity you’re going to have to rent the space.”

Hawkes said that, because of the small space, she was worried about the con-flict group meetings create with library patrons.

“You may be a private group, but it is a public space and everybody has the right to use it,” she said.

Selectmen Jim Henderson said he is OK with other groups or library-spon-sored programs using the building dur-ing library hours, as long as it does not disrupt other patrons.

Ultimately, selectmen unanimously ap-

proved amending Sections 9 and 10 of the lease. Section 9 of the new lease says that that the library cannot sublet its interest in the lease to outside parties and that the library may not be used for meetings and activities of other organizations or groups, formal or informal, other than activities or groups connected to the library.

Section 10 says that the tenant has permission to hold meetings of its Board of Directors or volunteers and to conduct sponsored programs at times other than when the library is scheduled to be open.

West Harpswell SchoolMulter also proposed that the town

approach commercial real estate brokers about selling the West Harpswell School, or talking with the Greater Brunswick Housing Authority about turning it into senior housing.

“I would like to ask staff to contact

them and see if we can have them come out and look at the building from the point of view of selling it,” she said. “And then I would like to reconnect with the Greater Brunswick Housing Authority since they expressed a definite and ongo-ing interest in possible use of the building for senior housing. I would like to limit it to senior housing.”

Hawkes said that she didn’t feel the prospects for the building should be lim-ited and that the town should ask for a wider spectrum of ideas for development or sale of the property.

Henderson agreed, saying that, before the annual Town Meeting next March, there should only be a couple of choices for what will happen to the building.

“We should pare it down so that when it gets to Town Meeting time we’ll only have two options or something that we think is

best,” he said. “We should try to see if we can find someone who can assess its value in community use, knowing all of the problems that we have with it and suggest potential uses or realistic options.”

Frisoli asked that the town look deeper into the idea of turning the building into a community center.

“The town voted for that building to be used for town activities,” she said. “I implore the selectmen to allow people to use that building. ... I think bringing people into the building that way will ei-ther show that it has some viability, some use, or it doesn’t and let’s get rid of it. I think you need to listen to what the voters want to do.”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

Collaborationfrom page 3


BDN Maine. “We’re thrilled to add our statewide coverage of politics, business, health and Maine’s outdoors to create a complete news source for Maine.”

“The Sun Journal has enjoyed a strong news sharing partnership with the Bangor Daily News for years, and bringing the award-winning Forecaster aboard was a natural,” said Anthony Ronzio, director of New Media for the Sun Media Group. “Together, The Forecaster and Bangor Daily News will bring a renewed focus to news coverage of the communities of Cumberland County, in print and online, that no other media outlet can match.”

The partnership, which coincides with the launch of an all-new website for The Forecaster, www.theforecaster.net, will

begin with sharing news stories and expand in the next few weeks to include broader types of coverage, including sports and business. News content can be read on either bdnmaine.com or theforecaster.net.

The Forecaster, based in Falmouth, publishes four weekly editions serving Scarborough, South Portland, Cape Eliza-beth, Portland, Falmouth, Cumberland, Freeport, Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, Chebeague Island, Brunswick, Topsham, Harpswell and Bath.

example of that. It’s right in the middle of Brunswick.”

Originally, through the Brunswick Naval Air Station Reuse Master Plan, about 1,500 acres were supposed to be dedicated to the town. But the total had declined for several reasons, Town Coun-cilor Benet Pols said.

“Other federal agencies decided – they have priority – that they had needs that weren’t initially foreseen. There’s a marine reserve center that hadn’t been a part of the plan; the FAA has, effectively, because of buffer zones, limited the avail-ability of land; and another category is environmental remediation,” Pols said.

The 800 acres will first be conveyed to the National Park Service and then, once the plan for their management is completed, to the town.

“The parcels of property the town will be receiving are conveyed by the Depart-

ment of the Navy to the National Park Service, and that conveyance is a federal-to-federal agency transfer,” said Denise Clavette, liaison from the town to the Mid-Coast Regional Redevelopment Authority. “Once it’s conveyed to the National Park Service, the National Park Service can convey it to the town of Brunswick.”

Clavette said that the town already owns a 66-acre plot of land on Brunswick Landing, but the rest of the land will trickle in as time goes on.

“The other parcels, once they have been conveyed to the National Park Service, will come into the town. Maybe three or four parcels as a time,” she said.

Pols said some of the parcels on the map are designated for active recreation while some are designated for passive recreation, but the possibilities for con-servation development are broad.

“There are some acres out there that may end up being available for ball fields and more traditional parks and recreation activities, rather than conservation,” he said. “Some of it is clearly conservation

land, hiking trails or shared-use trails ac-cessible by bicycles.

He also said that the plan for manage-ment of the property needs to be in place before the town receives the land, to prevent using it for purposes not related to conservation.

“It’s a condition of the public benefit conveyance that we have a clear plan that complies with both the reuse plan and their regulations on giveaways,” Pols said. “We can’t just take it, hold it and then at some point in the future say we’re going to put a fire station on the land that we got from the Navy 20 years ago. ... We do need to be careful that all of our plans for it comply with the spirit and letter of the public benefit conveyance.”

The plan for the land will unfold in several different phases.

“We can’t do all of the work at once, and it’s going to require money and time and labor, so what we’re hoping is to find

a few things that can be done fairly easily and quickly so that the public has access to at least parts of the property soon after it becomes owned by the town,” Isbill said.

She said initial projects will include opening some of the gates to the property, taking down fences and clearing up old road beds for trails, as well as putting up signs and maps.

The project is a collaborative effort representing 17 entities, including the Maine Department of Fisheries and Wild-life, Brunswick Parks and Recreation, property abutters and the Town Council.

Money for the project will come from a combination of sources including grants, civic-minded groups and the Recreation Department’s budget, Pols said, but pre-cise numbers have yet to be worked out.

If all goes according to plan, trail clean-up could begin on the properties in early fall. More extensive work will begin next year.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

In the meantime, the college has com-

pleted a new building to house its labs for the physics and chemistry departments.

“We are just going to continue to do what we’ve been doing,” Whitten said. “Community colleges have always been very good at taking what we have and

making it work and that’s where we’re at right now. We will make sure we will continue to offer what we can offer.”

vid Haas, whose life was tragically cut short while serving our nation in South Korea,” she said in a prepared statement. “He defended our country with limitless courage, and we owe him, and his family, a debt of immeasurable gratitude that we can never repay, and must never forget.”

Haas is survived by his parents. A private memorial service is scheduled in Brunswick next week.



“Maybe if the support continues for a roundabout, maybe we could look for money to do a roundabout and then do traf-fic lanes later on or vice versa,” she said.

The plans viewed at the public forum will be on display on the Master Plan Im-plementation Committee’s website early next week so that people have the chance to look over them before the next public forum, which is yet to be scheduled.

Husefrom page 1


school was being largely rebuilt. And with that school soon to reopen, and the central office having moved earlier this year to the Wing Farm Business Park, the Huse School is about to become unoccupied.

The building, in Bath’s Commercial 2 zone, has remained in the city’s posses-sion, and the council discussed options for its fate Wednesday evening.

Planning Director Andrew Deci noted in a July 19 memo that the facility’s size and layout are ideal for use by one or more nonresidential tenants, and that it could also be made into a multi-

family residential property, although that would require layout and infrastructure changes.

He pointed out that even though the building has been regularly maintained, a significant roof improvement project is expected to be required by 2015, and would cost about $196,000. Added ac-cessibility should be provided to law-fully offer space for lease, he mentioned, and environmental asbestos remediation would need to continue in the basement if the building is occupied.

Initial “mothballing” of the building could cost $15,000, if it were neither reused nor demolished, Deci said.

If the building is leased, there would be initial costs, continuing maintenance costs and tenant solicitation and manage-

ment, and the risk of vacancy and loss of revenue, he said.

If the city sells the building, benefits could include the revenue and no con-tinuing maintenance expenses, and the return of the property to the city’s tax rolls.

On the other hand, the city would lose control of the building, and the former school could deteriorate. Deci also noted a weak commercial real estate market and risk of vacancy.

Advantages to demolishing the build-ing include continued control of the land, no continuing maintenance costs and flexibility of future redevelopment by the

city. But initial demolition costs could be about $150,000, and the city would lose a historic building, Deci said.

Councilor Kyle Rogers, who chairs the Economic Development Committee, advocated using the building as a charter school. Councilor Mari Eosco said she wants to take demolition option off the table.

“Let’s fill it; whatever we need to do,” she said. “Let’s have proposals come in, let’s find a good fit. But let’s just not sit on this.”

The EDC will eventually report back to the council.
