FREEPORT — U.S. Sen.-elect Angus King said Wednesday a decision is coming soon on which party he’ll caucus with when he arrives in the U.S. Senate in January.

But the independent former governor warned that his mem-bership in a party caucus isn’t an

automatic vote for that party and against the other.

“Some kind of caucus deci-sion will be necessary,” he said at a news conference. “Once that decision is made, it doesn’t mean I’ll be locked into one side and the opponent of the other side. I want to continue to build bridges.”

King spoke in Freeport the morning after winning the race

for Maine’s open U.S. Senate seat with a majority of the vote, besting his Republican and Demo-cratic rivals, Secretary of State Charlie Summers and state Sen. Cynthia Dill. With 95 percent of precincts reporting, King had won 53 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for Summers and 13

Daughtry wins 3-way House race in BrunswickBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — A spirited three-way race in House District 66 ended with a win Tuesday for the Democratic candidate.

Matthea Daughtry won the elec-tion with 45 percent of the vote, defeating Green Independent can-didate Fred Horch and Republican Grant Connors.

According to unofficial results, Daughtry received 2,108 votes, Horch 1,504 and Connors 1,009.

Rep. Alex Cornell du Houx, D-Brunswick, decided to not seek re-election.

“I’m honored and thrilled most people in District 66 put their faith in me,” Daughtry said Wednes-day morning. “I think one of the things I’m touched by is that I will be able to represent my hometown.”

She said her record of being honest, open, accountable and willing to work with others across party lines helped voters make up their minds.

Topsham narrowly upholds ban on fireworksBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Voters were nar-rowly divided Tuesday on whether to legalize the sale and use of consumer fireworks.

A measure that would have overturned the town’s ban of the products failed by about 100 votes, 2,784 to 2,681.

A petition launched in June by Selectman David Douglass called for the sale and use of consumer fireworks to be allowed in accor-dance with state law. Under that law, fireworks were allowed in Topsham from Jan. 1 to June 12, when a referendum vote enacted the ban.

Douglass expressed disappoint-

Pingree posts 2-1 victory margin in 1st Congressional DistrictBy Seth KoenigBangor Daily News

PORTLAND — Incumbent U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, declared vic-tory in her 1st Congressional District race against Republican Jon Courtney on Tues-day night just before 10 p.m.

“Clearly the voters have said to me, ‘We’ve all worked hard over the last four years, there’s still more work to do,’” Pingree told a room full of applauding supporters at Portland’s Bayside Bowl. “I hope my colleagues all over the country are getting the same message I did: That we have to fight for jobs, to fight for the working people, to fight for health care for everybody, to have the courage to talk about climate change, make sure we’re there to fight for equality for all people ... and to put our country back on the right track.”

Pingree held nearly 66 percent of the vote with three-quarters of the district’s 168 precincts reporting at about 1 a.m.

Courtney claimed 844 of the first 899 votes reported in his home York County on his way to a spry start. However, Pingree battled back, claiming 3,605 of the next 5,771 reported in Maine’s southernmost county.

She also dominated in the state’s most populous county, Cumberland, with 69 percent of the vote to 31 percent, after 84 percent of the precincts in that county had reported.

Courtney, of the York County town of Sanford, said he “thoroughly enjoyed going around the district ... and listening to the people on Main Street. It’s been a terrific honor, nobody owes me anything. I had the greatest summer of my life meeting the people of Maine.”

Courtney, speaking earlier in the day, said if he were to lose the race, “the only person I have to blame is myself.”

“(If I lose it’s because) I wasn’t a good enough candidate to sell the message, be-cause I think the message is good enough,” he said. “The message of getting people together, the message of getting Congress to work together, the message of taking on a $16 trillion debt and not kicking it down the hall.”

Courtney spent his Election Day visiting polling places in the 1st District.

After a relatively quiet weekend, Pingree

Troy r. BenneTT / BDnU.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree declares victory in Portland on Tuesday night, Nov. 6.

campaigned Monday and Tuesday with Maine Senate District 6 candidate Jim Boyle in Scarborough. She also met voters Monday at Becky’s Diner in Portland.

Pingree, of North Haven, won her third two-year term representing the southern-most of Maine’s two congressional districts. In 2008, she defeated Republican Charlie Summers, now Maine’s secretary of state and a candidate this year to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe. Two years ago, she defeated Republican Dean Scontras to win her first re-election bid.

Prior to winning the 1st District seat in 2008, Pingree lost a 2002 challenge against

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins for the Republican incumbent’s U.S. Senate seat. This was Courtney’s first campaign for federal office.

Pingree had a huge lead in campaign fundraising. The candidates’ most recent Federal Election Commission financial disclosures showed that Pingree raised more than $989,000 to Courtney’s almost $122,000 through Oct. 17. Other than a $50.80 contribution to Pingree from a group that raised money to support the re-election of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who lost in his district’s Democratic primary, the 1st District race attracted no outside money.

Stilphen may seek recount of Bath City Council voteBy Alex Lear

BATH — Cal Stiphen, who trailed Leverett Mitchell by just six votes Tuesday in balloting for Ward 7 city councilor, on Wednesday said he is considering a seeking a recount.

Carolyn Lockwood de-feated incumbent Councilor Kyle Rogers, 294-262, in Ward 3. Longtime Councilor Bernard Wyman retained his Ward 4 seat after fending off a challenge from Fran Simmler, 310-170, and Councilor Sean Paulhus was uncontested for his Ward 2 seat; he received 523 votes.

Mitchell received 232 votes for the one-year term, followed by Stilphen with 226 and Larry Scott with 218. They ran to fill a vacancy caused by the Sept. 28 death of Ruthe Pagurko, who had served two years of a three-year term.

Stilphen, a former insurance risk man-ager who is now semi-retired, ran unsuc-cessfully against Pagurko in her 2010 bid for a third council term. He expressed disappointment at Tuesday's results, say-ing that "I just need to make myself a better candidate. The voters spoke."

He said he would likely run again for the seat next year.

Mitchell, Bath's former fire chief, served on the City Council from 2002 to 2008 and said Wednesday that he looks forward to another term on the panel.

"I enjoyed it the first time," he said,

noting that the job requires a lot of work, but that he has the time and patience to handle it.

Rogers also ran for the Legislature in House District 62, where he lost 2,356 to 1,475 to Democrat Jennifer DeChant. He declined Wednesday to discuss the

outcome of either election.Lockwood, who has served on the

Planning Board since last year, said she was "humbled ... and I'm really excited that going door-to-door paid off." She has said she will step down from the board if elected to the City Council.

"It certainly wasn't a sweep; it was very close," said Lockwood, who is director of the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services for the Maine Department of Labor. "I just feel lucky to have won."

phen August of Bath were uncontested in their bids for seats on the Regional School Unit 1 Board of Directors.

No contests in Brunswick School Board contestsBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — School Board can-didates said that Brunswick Community United played a role in getting all three winners elected.

Joy Prescott, School Board Vice Chair-woman Corinne Perreault, and Chris Mc-Carthy all received endorsements from the school interest group and won their respective races by large margins.

Prescott won the board’s at-large seat against Dale King with 67 percent of the vote, 6,598 to 3,149. The seat will be vacated by board member Michelle Small at the end of the year.

Perreault was re-elected to her District 4 seat, defeating Federico Senence with 75 percent of the vote, 1,134 to 366.

McCarthy took the uncontested District 3 seat with 1,595 votes. The seat will be vacated by board member Matt Corey.

Prescott and Perreault said Wednesday that BCU is partly to thank for their victories, because the group helped cam-paign for them.

“I’m pleased that Brunswick agreed with my message that we need a sensible approach to school issues,” Prescott said, adding that there were some individuals unaffiliated with BCU who also helped. She said she also spent a lot of time cam-paigning in neighborhoods and making herself available to constituents.

“I was pretty over-hwhelmed,” Perreault said in reaction to her victory, “but I won by that much of a margin.”

She said her expe-rience on the board also played a role in her re-election.

Senence said while he finds his loss dis-appointing, it won’t deter him from stay-ing involved with the schools.

“Perreault has been on the board for five terms,” he said. “She also had the backing of the BCU. I think that was a huge fac-tor.”

King , husband of outgoing Town Council Chairwoman Joanne King, said he also recognized BCU’s ability to gain heaping support for its candidates.

“I wish Joy the best of luck,” King said. “She ran a great campaign. She

deserved to win.”King also said he is wary of the School

Board’s plans to borrow more to improve the schools.

Prescott said she would like to become involved with the School Department’s strategic plan and the master facility plan, both of which will begin fairly soon.

Perreault said she would also like to see through facility upgrades for Cof-fin School and Brunswick Junior High School by the end of her next term. She said she would also like to play a hand in bringing the department’s new math program to the junior high.

“I want to continue to find ways to maintain the level of education” the School Department has provided, she said.

Town CouncilAll three Town Council candidates won

their seats in uncontested races Tuesday.Former Maine Speaker of the House

John Richardson received 9,018 votes for the at-large seat.

Councilor John Perreault will continue serving District 4 for a second term and received 1,470 votes.

Councilor Suzan Wilson will continue serving District 3 for a second term, and received 1,615 votes.Dylan Martin can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 100 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @DylanLJMartin.

Gerzofsky: Senate re-election part of a ‘nice revolution’By Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — State Sen. Stan Ger-zofsky, D-Brunswick, Tuesday won a third term representing state Senate District 10, defeating Freeport Republican Ralph Dean by a wide margin.

Unofficial results from Brunswick, Freeport, Harpswell and Pownal showed Gerzofsky with 67 percent of vote, 13,475 to 6,516.

Dean, a retired U.S. Navy captain, played a role in seeking to keep the Brunswick Naval Air Station open before it closed in 2011. This was his first campaign for

public office.“It’s a formative election. I don’t think

anyone should be on the sidelines,” Dean said in September. “I would like to help keep the state going in the direction it just started to go down over the last year-and-a-half to two years.”

Gerzofsky called his victory margin a “high honor” and a sign that he’s been do-ing what his constituents want him to do.

“I’m so humbled by this because people

are saying ‘we do want to be represented by you, and we want you to move for-ward,’” Gerzofsky said early Wednesday morning.

He said Democratic legislative victories on Tuesday signal that people haven’t been satisfied with the state’s direction in the last two years and want to see some change.

“We have been through some pretty tough times,” Gerzofsky said.

He said that while people most likely voted for him this year because of his atten-tion to his constituents, bills passed in past two years in the Republican-controlled state

Senate might been another factor.

Gerzofsky said he will try to reverse some of the actions taken by Republican legislators, along with increasing funding for public education and improving economic development at Brunswick Landing.

He said unlike some other countries, American democracy allows citizens to hold peaceful revolutions when they desire change.

“We just had a nice revolution,” Gerzof-sky said.

Goodall wins re-election by almost 2-1 marginBy Amber Cronin

BATH — The successful incumbent in state Senate District 19 on Wednesday said work to improve the Maine economy must begin right away.

“Starting today it’s incumbent that, regardless of party, legislators work on improving the economy, focusing on helping create jobs and working to im-prove the economic security of Mainers,” Sen. Seth Goodall, D-Richmond, said.

Goodall won re-election by a wide margin, 10,225 to 5,580, over Republican Jeff Pierce of Dresden. District 19 in-cludes Arrowsic, Bath, Bowdoin, Bowdo-inham, Georgetown, Perkins Township, Phippsburg, Richmond, Topsham, West Bath and Woolwich.

Goodall cited the work of his campaign volunteers and his focus on improving the economy as the reasons for his vic-tory.

“I think most importantly I want to tip my hat to Jeff,” he said. “He ran a great race. We both focused on the issues and I believe that’s what the voters want and should receive.”

Pierce agreed, saying even though he was disappointed at the loss, he felt good about the campaign.

“I was a little shocked with some of the numbers, but I look at it this way, I did the best job I could and they just turned more voters out,” he said.

He added that he hopes Goodall will deliver on his promise of working across the aisle to reform workers compensa-tion regulations and to bring affordable energy to Maine.

“I hope that he does what’s right for Maine and that’s all we can ask for,” he said. “He got 60 percent of the votes, now let’s hope he does what he said he’s going to do.”

Pierce said that he would like to run again, but has no concrete plans for the immediate future, aside from hunting this weekend.

“You can’t grind spilled milk so I’m going to go to work and then enjoy my weekend, do a little deer hunting,” he said. “No need being bummed out.”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

District 60: Mason defeats Wolkens by 3-2 margin

TOPSHAM — Selectman Andrew Mason, a Democrat, defeated Republican Jean Wolkens 3,064 to 1,939 Tuesday in state House District 60.

The district covers part of Topsham, and has been represented by Rep. Kerri Prescott, R-Topsham, who did not seek a fourth term.

Mason, who is two years into a three-year term on the Board of Selectmen, said he plans to step down from the board. The Middlesex Road resident is an attorney with Reben, Benjamin & March in Portland.

District 63: Priest fends off challenge

BRUNSWICK — State Rep. Charles Priest, D-Brunswick, was challenged for his House District 63 seat for the first time Tuesday, but still managed to get 68 percent of the vote.

Priest defeated Republican John Bouchard of Brunswick, 3,185 to 1,451, according to unofficial results.

The district contains most of Bowdoin College and outlying neighborhoods be-yond the downtown area.

Priest attributed his success, in part, to the district’s political ideology, along with his support of same-sex marriage

District 62: DeChant deals Rogers defeat in Bath

BATH — Democrat Jennifer DeChant defeated Republican Kyle Rogers Tues-day in House District 62, 2,356 to 1,475.

Rep. Michael Clarke, D-Bath, chose not to seek a second term in the district, which covers part of Bath.

“I am thrilled and honored that the citizens of Bath have chosen me as their Representative in Augusta,” DeChant said

He previously served on the Topsham Development Board, and before his career in law he was an orientation and mobility specialist.

Wolkens, a Meadow Road resident, manages Panera Bread in Augusta. She is chairwoman of Topsham’s Republican committee, and a member of the county GOP committee. She is also the music leader and clerk at her church.

Mason said he worked hard in the cam-paign, having knocked on voters’ doors since May.

in an e-mail Tuesday night. “This cam-paign reinforces that politics should be positive, and not negative. The voters of Bath heard that message, and responded. And in return, I promise to strive for moderation and cooperation in Augusta, where I pledge to put our great state and our great little city ahead of partisan politics.”

She added that “for the last eight months I have been supported in my cam-paign by the finest, hardest working, and most positive people I have even known.”

Rogers, who also lost Tuesday in a bid for another term on the Bath City Coun-cil, declined Wednesday to comment on the results of either election.

He is a real estate agent who retired after 20 years in the U.S. Navy, and has served on the City Council for six years. He had said he would hold both offices if he won both elections.

and the backing of many Bowdoin stu-dents who vote in the district.

“During the last week of my campaign, I was able to go through a number of dorms at Bowdoin” to talk to students, Priest said Wednesday morning. The effort was made possible by the college Democratic Party group and Jackie Sar-toris, vice chairwoman of the Brunswick Democratic Committee.

“I’m very pleased and grateful to all of the folks who worked for me and supported me,” Priest said, “and I know that’s a cliche thing to say, but it’s true.”

Priest said he would like to focus on bringing more jobs to Brunswick Land-ing and advancing a single-player health-care bill that he said has a higher chance of passing because the Democrats will regain control of the Legislature.

Bouchard, a licensed real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Bro-kerage in Brunswick, said he thought he did pretty well, considering he was running in a “real left-leaning district.”

He said his stance against same-sex marriage and the state bond issues might have also hurt his chances.

“I was against the bond issues and I don’t think a lot of people realize the fiscal impact (passing them) will have,” he said.

Bouchard said he enjoyed his time campaigning and getting to know the

District 64: Saxton unseats incumbent Olsen

HARPSWELL — Democratic candi-date Jeremy Saxton defeated incumbent Rep. Kimberly Olsen, R-Phippsburg, Tuesday in state House District 64.

Unofficial results in the district, which includes Harpswell, Phippsburg and part of West Bath, were 2,954 votes for Sax-ton and 2,547 for Olsen.

This was the first time Saxton sought public office, and he said he ran because he wanted to see his community grow and prosper.

Saxton has been known for helping start local businesses, and works at Dol-phin Restaurant and Marina in Harpswell with his family. Saxton's wife Amy serves in the state House Democratic Office as an assistant for research, press and constituent issues.

Olsen was elected in 2010 after the original Republican candidate withdrew following the Republican primary. She said in September that she was seeking re-election because the community made a commitment to her when they voted for her two years ago.

Grover unseats Gorden in Cumberland County Commission rematchBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — The Cumberland County commissioner-elect in District 3 called election night a “great night for independents and underdogs” after he

won by a wide margin.Mark Grover, U-Yarmouth, defeated

incumbent Stephen Gorden, R-North Yarmouth, by a vote of 16,756 to 10,480 for the seat covering Freeport, North

e-mail, requiring eth-ics rules for such things as disclosure of income sources and “hundreds of other rules intend-ed to help regulate county government and increase public involvement,” he said last month.

He praised Gorden for his dedication to the people of Cumberland County over the last year and for running a clean campaign, adding that he hopes the posi-tive attitude of this race’s campaign could spill over into others.

“Fortunately, we both respect each other, and we have both run positive cam-paigns,” he said. “No matter which of us had won, Cumberland County would still have been well-served. I wish this atti-tude were common elsewhere in politics.”

“I am humbled by the support shown to me by the voters of the 3rd District,” Grover said Tuesday. “I promise to keep listening to the voice of the public as I strive to represent all 54,000 people and seven towns of District 3.”

The race was a rematch of last year’s District 3 special election, where Gorden beat Grover by nearly 1,300 votes, 6,899 to 5,617.

Voters change hiring of Harpswell treasurerBy Dylan Martin

HARPSWELL — Town treasurer will become an appointed position next year after the town’s only referendum question narrowly passed with 53 percent of the vote, 1,760 to 1,534.

“I’m glad they saw the advantage of an appointed town treasurer” for the man-agement of town finances, Selectman Jim Henderson said Wednesday.

The referendum question asked voters if they wanted to change hiring of the

Russell bests Thompson in Topsham selectmen raceBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Donald Russell, chair-man of the Board of Selectmen, defeated Bill Thompson 2,533 to 1,622 Tuesday to secure another term on the panel.

Dorothy Gardner was uncontested in her bid for another term on the School Administrative 75 Board of Directors, earning 4,097 votes.

“I’m both honored and pleased with the results of the elec-tion,” Russell said on Wednesday. He thanked Thompson for his efforts and willingness to run for the board, “giving the people of Topsham a choice at the polls.”

Russell served on the Board of Select-men from 2002 to 2005, the Planning Board from 2006-2009, the SAD 75 Board of Directors from 2006-2008, the Local Redevelopment Authority for the Topsham Navy Annex from 2005-2008, and the Sagadahoc Budget Advisory Committee from 2002-2008.

He also spent 33 years on the Board of Appeals, chairing it for 28 years, and started with the Board of Assessment Review in 2011.

Thompson is secretary of Topsham’s Finance Committee, where he has served since 2009.

treasurer, which has traditionally been an election position, to one appointed by the Board of Selectmen.

Henderson said passage would protect the town from electing an under-qualified candidate. Current state law only requires an elected treasurer to be 18 years old, a Maine resident and a U.S. citizen.

“When considering someone to be responsible for more than $15 million, including the town’s budget and bor-rowings and the Harpswell share of both the county and (school) budgets, the state requirements are just totally inadequate,”the Board of Selectmen’s rationale for supporting the measure said. “Having an appointed treasurer will allow the town to establish qualifications for

the position when it becomes vacant. It will permit the town to check references and to take all the normal steps that any prudent business operator would take in an effort to assure the employment of someone equal to the task.”

Some residents still asked why a major constitutional change like this wasn’t held for discussion until the annual Town Meeting next March.

“I think what’s wrong with doing it, in this vote at this time, is that it goes before the largest electorate the town has at the time of the presidential election,” former Selectman Gordon Weil told selectmen last month. “A vast majority of those people voting, I daresay and from experi-ence, don’t follow town affairs closely.”

Weil said he was concerned about how independent the treasurer would remain, about the legal conditions for the trea-surer’s removal from office, and how the change would impact the town budget.

The treasurer’s responsibilities would remain the same when it becomes an ap-pointed position, the town responded in bulletin, although some of the logistics will be determined by Town Meeting.

“We will have a proposal that will ac-commodate issues of pay and so forth at the Town Meeting,” Henderson said.

The case for Citizens UnitedMany people have denounced the U.S. Supreme

Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. But the ruling makes a fair amount of sense in theory.

In Citizens United, the court held that organizations like corporations and labor unions have a right of free speech that in-cludes political speech, campaign ads, and electioneering com-munications, as well as the money that funds that speech.

The court reasoned that speech is essential to democracy. People need information to make meaningful choices. Speech – communica-tion in all its forms – is the way that people share information, become knowledgeable, and decide which politicians and policies to support and which to oppose.

It takes money to get the word out. Effective communication requires money. So that money is essential to speech and speech can be regulated, controlled and restricted by regulating money. Gov-ernment regulation of political speech is suspect because government has a bias in favor of perpetu-ating itself and its policies, and against those who challenge them.

All speakers, whether they be individuals or organizations, are entitled to use the money that they make to fund the speech that they want. The possibility that money can be used to corrupt gov-ernment as opposed to communicate is not a reason to regulate corporate speech, because there is no evidence that corporate money corrupts any more than any other type of money.

In our free-market economy, some people have more money than others. The amount of money that a person has is no guarantee that they are smart or that what they have to say is wise or that the political opinions that they express are popular.

Yet that money gives them the wherewithal to pro-mote their political views more than those of others who are less wealthy.

It may seem undemocratic that some people have more ability to speak than others. But it is inevi-table in a free society, because people are different. If they are free, then some will have more ability to speak than others. Because of their celebrity, their ideas, their eloquence, their charisma – or their money.

In this regard, there is little difference between wealthy people and corporations. Indeed, some people – small business owners and sole propri-etors, for example – are synonymous with corpora-tions, such as S corporations. Beyond that, some people and corporations have more money than others and that money gives them more ability to speak politically.

Arguably, publicly owned corporations are more democratic than wealthy individuals when it comes to political speech. Corporations are economic democracies. They are owned by people. Stock-holders can, if they have the votes, influence a corporation’s policy, including its communication policy. That’s more democratic than some wealthy individuals’ political communication policy.

Corporations have a long association with our country. Stock companies were instrumental in its creation. They provided the capital for colo-nists. They allowed merchants and more regular people to do what previously only monarchs could. These days, there are even non-profit corporations primarily devoted to politics, called social welfare organizations.

In a democracy, ultimately, the people govern themselves by making choices in the marketplace of ideas, between candidates in campaigns, and at the polls on Election Day. In that process, govern-ment control of speech is suspect, and more speech is better than less speech, even if it comes from corporations.

Please, leaf me aloneAs a nice girl from northern New Jersey who, until

a shocking act of rebellion at the onset of her college career, spelled her nickname with a “y,” there is no way I can allow anything other than Hurricane Sandy to be the basis of this week’s musings.

“Sandy’s Destruction.”“Sandy leaves devastation and heartache in her path.”“Getting back on your

financial feet after Sandy.”Combine these headline

with private messages from a myriad of men I have known, expressing such sweet sentiments as, “Well of course the storm of the century would have your name on it!” and “You’re ruining my sailing vacation down in South Carolina” and my ego has taken quite a beating this past week.

Now I know how all of the women named Irene felt. Or Katrina.

Not that I’m whining. I feel awful about the entire thing. I mean, we didn’t even lose power here in our little coastal Maine commu-nity. Considering the fact that we generally lose power when someone spits on one of the electrical wires in our neighborhood, this is nothing short of a miracle of religious proportion.

The photos of the destruction in my home state, and the images of the nearly destroyed seaside towns where I spent many of my childhood, teenage and college-age vacations, make my heart ache. I empathize deeply with my fellow Garden Staters, whose memories of rides on the Seaside Heights roller-coaster are the only things that remain, now that the roller-coaster has been washed into the sea.

The photos of the piers torn to pieces and amuse-ment park rides half-submerged in salt water are eerie and make me feel the way I felt the first time I saw the movie “Planet of the Apes,” with the Statue of Liberty in pieces on the shore.

Clearly, the destruction of the icons that represent our “identities” in the broader sense can touch us deeply and shake us at our very core.

I was actually in New Jersey and New York City the weekend before the arrival of the storm. I literally hopped into my car as the wind was beginning to kick up and half an hour into my trip northward, drizzle started hitting the windshield.

I felt like the reverse of one of those kooky “storm-chaser” people – and was happy to be running away from it. Especially since my name had been stamped on it.

Undecided? UnbelievableIf you are reading this in The Forecaster print

newspaper, everything has been decided, unless of course the Obama-Romney race was too close to call and is at this very moment being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, in which case Romney wins.

If you are reading it online, it may be Election Day or the day before, in which case never mind.

I am writing this column five days before the elec-tion. I suppose I could have voted by now, but I am not a big fan of early voting. I’m also not a big fan of unde-cided voters. Allow me to explain.

It used to be that you needed a darn good reason to vote by absentee ballot, but these days close to half the electorate in some places vote before Election Day. I took absentee ballots to my daughter in college and to my father in a nurs-ing home, but I did not take one out for myself. In fact, when I returned my daughter’s ballot to Town Hall, I could have voted on the spot. A conference room had been set up as an early voting place. But I prefer to line up with everyone else on Election Day.

There is very little likelihood anything will hap-pen in the final few days to change my vote this time, but back in 2010, realizing that Democrat Libby Mitchell’s gubernatorial campaign had tanked and independent Eliot Cutler was surging, I changed my mind at the last minute and voted for Cutler in hopes of sparing Maine the wrath and reign of Paul Lepage. LePage’s slim margin of victory in 2010 could have been erased if so many moderates and liberals hadn’t voted early.

I did, however, give serious thought to voting early this year, because there were no prospects of triangulating my vote. I was Obama, Angus, Chellie, Woodbury, Cooper and Yes on 1 all the way. On the other hand, seeing people voting a week ahead of time, it did occur to me that my votes would be lost if somehow I couldn’t get to the polls on Nov. 6.

What if I were called out of town on an emer-

gency? What if I got sick or injured? What if I died? (Note to Maine Republican Party: The dead can vote if they vote early enough. Maybe your next voter suppression effort should be to invalidate absentee ballots if voters die before Election Day.)

There was a lot of loose talk the week before the election about the Maine GOP sending poll watch-ers to strategic polling places – college towns, im-migrant communities – to challenge same-day voter registrations in an attempt to intimidate voters. I’m hoping and assuming that didn’t happen.

There have only been two documented cases of voter fraud in Maine in the past 40 years. This is America, Jim-Bob, Land of the Frickin’ Free. We should be encouraging people to vote, not trying to prevent them from voting. Personally, I believe anyone who is living in America on Election Day should be allowed to vote whether they are Ameri-can citizens or not. But hey, that’s just me.

Which brings me to my beef with undecided vot-ers.

Undecided? How ignorant or uninformed do you have to be not to have made your mind up between Obama and Romney a week, a month, even a year before Election Day? The differences between the two men are not subtle. It’s like deciding between climbing a mountain and jumping off a cliff.

Undecided? What late-breaking news, what straw that broke the camel’s back, what wild fabrication or slip of the tongue might persuade a weak-minded voter to change his/her vote at the last minute? Obama’s father was really a Commie radical and not an African Muslim after all? Romney really does wear magic Mormon underwear and believes Jesus arrived on Earth in a rocket ship? What info, Dear Undecided Voter, was missing?

The fact that Obama and Romney were essentially battling right up until the end for the 10 percent of voters who were undecided forces me to conclude that, no matter who wins or may already have won, the fate of this nation is now decided by nincom-poops.

No Added Sugarfrom previous page

As my always lovely (and loving) mother, Louise, drove me to catch my train into the city a couple days prior to the arrival of the storm in the NY metropolitan area, we were both taken aback by multiple sightings of a phenomenon that seemed to go against human intel-ligence: men with leaf-blowers.

As the car radio spewed reports of the approaching hurricane, there were people with the XY chromosome combination wearing hearing protection devices and using noisy, gas-powered machines to blow autumnal leaves into neat piles.

Perhaps their earplugs were preventing them from be-ing aware that there were 100-mph winds en route that would soon be blowing their leaves from New Jersey to Michigan.

Now, I am not a meteorologist, nor am I a profes-sional landscaper, but my initial thoughts upon seeing these leaf-blowing men were, first, you would never

see a woman using a leaf-blower on the brink of the scheduled arrival of a hurricane. And second, these men are either incredibly stupid, or they are swindlers with suburban clients who are equally stupid for allowing them to blow the leaves off of their lawns on the brink of the scheduled arrival of a hurricane.

Is it just me, or is there something inherently wrong with this scenario?

As I said, I made it back to our home in Maine just in time, and am so very grateful that we were spared any destruction. Of course, my leaves are still on my lawn, and I’m sure a few of my neighbors would like to see me develop an unhealthy addiction to a leaf-blower. Or a rake.

But I’m afraid even my namesake “superstorm” and its ensuing headlines aren’t capable of making me feel quite that much guilt.

BRUNSWICK — Lawrence Bernard Caron, 89, of River Road, died Nov. 3 at his home. He was born in Brunswick May 1, 1923, the son of Elzear Joseph and Henriette Poirier Caron. He gradu-ated from St. John’s Catholic School and attended Brunswick High School.

On June 28, 1947, he married Lauriette Tetreault. She died Oct. 16. The couple celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this past June.

Caron enl i s ted in the U.S. Marine Corps at 19 to serve his country during World War II, and fought in the Pacific from January 1943 to November 1945. He landed in Nagasaki, Japan, five days after the dropping of the atomic bomb on that city. He was honorably discharged with the rank of line corporal.

Upon returning home, Caron worked at Verney Mill as a loom fixer until the mill's closing. In the 1950s, he went to work as a security guard at Brunswick Naval Air Station, and later in the BNAS Crash & Rescue Department. There, he served as a firefighter and was promoted to captain. He remained in that capacity until he retired in 1978, and then briefly worked for the Brunswick Public Works Department.

Caron raised three daughters with his wife. In the summer months, the family would vacation at Sebago Lake State Park and Old Orchard Beach.

Caron was an avid sportsman. He played ice hockey and softball in local leagues after the war, and won several candlepin bowling championships. He found his true sports passion in golf. He won several Brunswick Golf Club Cham-pionships and tournaments throughout the state, and finished as runner-up in the 1967 Maine State Amateur Cham-pionship. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing with his brother, Leopold, in their younger years and then continued going to the woods with his good friend, Eddie Hill.

He found his peace in being outdoors. If he wasn’t in the woods or on the golf course, he was working on his home’s lawn or garden. He enjoyed raising fruits and vegetables, and spendng the long Maine winters in his garage or basement workbench tinkering with something that needed repair.

After the couple had both retired, they traveled with their friends on several bus tours and visited friends in Arizona. For several years they wintered in Punta Gorda, Fla., where Caron could practice his golf game.

During the past few years, Caron and his wife were home-bound and cared for by Aging Excellence of Brunswick.

Caron was a life-long communicant of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. He was a fourth-degree and 70-year member of Brunswick’s Sekenger Council #1947 of the Knights of Columbus, and was an honorary member of the Brunswick Golf Club. He was a member of the American Legion and the Brunswick Elks Lodge.

Caron was predeceased by his parents;

his brother, Leopold, and sister-in-law, Yvette Tetu Caron; and his wife, Lau-riette.

Surviving is his daughter, Lorraine, of Brunswick; daughter Suzanne Berry and her husband, Christopher, of New Jersey; daughter Evelyn Keating and her husband, Dennis, of Florida; and two grandsons, Andrew J. Keating and Adam J. Keating; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

A funeral was held Nov. 8 at St. John’s the Baptist Church in Brunswick.

Memorial donations may be made to the Knights of Columbus, c/o Grand Knight Bruce Talbot, 2 Columbus Drive, Brunswick, ME 04011.

Memorial condolences may be ex-pressed and a video tribute may be viewed at stetsonsfuneralhome.com.

Suzanne Marie Robshaw, 46BATH — Suzanne Marie Robshaw, 46,

died at Winship Green on Nov. 1 after a long illness.

Robshaw was born in Bath on Nov. 15, 1965, the daughter of Judith Ames and Paul Kurt Hecht. Educated at Georgetown and Bath schools, she graduated in 1983 from Morse High School. She then at-tended the University of Maine in Au-gusta to become an R.N.

She resided in West Bath with her hus-band, Norman Robshaw, who she married in July 2005.

As a young girl she excelled in sports and won many awards for softball, field hockey and basketball. She enjoyed camping, motorcycling and gardening, as well as seeing her grandchildren fre-quently.

She is survived by her husband, Nor-man, of West Bath; mother Judy and her husband, Joe Marquis, of San Antonio; sister Marie Esperiqueta and her husband, Dan, and nieces Brianna and Danielle, all of San Antonio; her stepdaughters, Melissa Baker, of Phippsburg, and Ash-ley Garnet and her husband, Greg, of Georgetown; step-grandchildren Christa, Arron, Aly, Hanna-Abby, Jena, and Tyler; stepsister Jennifer Currie and her hus-band, Alex, of Yarmouth; stepbrothers Jon Marquis, his wife, Melissa, daughter Gracie Elle, of Bath, and son Joel Mar-quis, of South Portland.

A funeral was held Nov. 6 at David E. Desmond & Son Funeral Home in Bath. Interment occured at Mountainside Cem-etery in Georgetown.

Louise Boucher Dumais, 90BRUNSWICK — Louise Boucher Du-

mais, 90, died Oct. 27 at Freeport Place assisted-living home.

The daughter of the late Alma (Emma) Dufresne and Frank Boucher, she was born on May 17, 1922, in Brunswick and lived there most of her life.

In 1943, she mar-ried Robert Dumais in Brunswick. He died in 1997. Although Du-mais was a homemak-er most of her life, she became active in the PTA while her chil-dren were attending grade school. Later, she served on the board of directors of United Pejepscot Housing for nine years, including six years as secretary.

She was active at St. Charles Church as the church council president for two years, as a commission member through 2004, and as a lector for a number of years. She volunteered at Red Cross blood-mobiles for over 25 years, and also at local election polls. Throughout her life, Dumais also enjoyed swimming and getting together with family, friends and classmates.

She is survived by her son Robert Du-mais Jr. and his partner, Frank Amagliani,

Fall season comes to a closeThe final three Mid-Coast fall sports

teams all met their demise last weekend, bringing the curtain down on the season.

Boys’ soccerMt. Ararat’s boys’ soccer team ran the

gamut of emotions last week, first beat-ing Lewiston in a draining regional final, 2-1, in double overtime, then losing to Scarborough in the Class A Final, 4-0.

The top-ranked Eagles hosted No. 2 Lewiston in the Eastern A Final last Wednesday. The teams split two regular season meetings, with Mt. Ararat suffer-ing its lone loss, 3-1, at the Blue Devils Sept. 5 and winning at home, 2-1, Oct. 2. The Eagles would prevail again by that margin in the regional final, but it didn’t come easily.

After a scoreless first half, Robbie Small gave Mt. Ararat a 1-0 lead in the 53rd min-ute. It stayed that way until Lewiston drew even with 46 seconds to go. The tying goal led to Blue Devils fans storming the field and the ultimate disqualification of a Lewiston player after he took off his shirt. After a scoreless 15-minute overtime, the teams played a second and finally, 2:10 in, Small struck again, heading in an Eric Bowie throw, to give the Eagles a 2-1 win.

“I can’t take all the credit,” said Small. “We have two really strong throwers. It was really the throw that got to me. I was there at the right time. I tried to flick it to the left because I was in the middle and that’s where the open goal would be.”

“I give my kids a lot of credit,” said Mt. Ararat coach Rick Renaud. “They kept battling. When you get scored on with 46 seconds left, that can be a heartbreaker. We talked about what we’re real danger-ous at and what we needed to do. That’s what we started to do. We got that throw. That’s what we’re dangerous at and it worked out for us. Lewiston is a very good team, a very skilled team. We just battled.”

Merrymeeting soccer team wins state title

The Merrymeeting U-12 boys’ soccer team, featuring players from Bath, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Harpswell and Topsham, captured the Soccer Maine Fall Classic League

state title with a 16-0-1 record after beating Cape Elizabeth (1-0, 3-1 in penalty kicks). After winning the Central District Championship over Yarmouth 2-1 in overtime, Merrymeeting went on to beat Bangor 2-1 in overtime to reach the championship game. Bangor had been previously undefeated and unscored upon in regular season play. Merrymeeting also won the U-12 division of the Falmouth Fall Classic Tournament in October. Front row: Will

contRIbuteD

met for the third time in the state game (the Eagles won in PKs in 2003 and the Red Storm returned the favor in PKs two years later). This time, it was all Scarborough from the get-go.

Dan Ornstein had three goals, the first coming 88 seconds in, and the Red Storm rolled to a 3-0 lead at halftime. Austin Downing added a goal in the second half and Mt. Ararat couldn’t respond as its season ended at 15-2-1 with a 4-0 loss.

Girls’ soccerOn the girls’ side, top-ranked Morse

hosted two-time state champion Falmouth in the Western B Final last Wednesday. The top-ranked Shipbuilders and No. 2 Yachtsmen don’t meet in the regular sea-son, but last year, Falmouth rallied past Morse, 2-1, in the regional final.

This time around, the Shipbuilders had a golden chance to go on top when sopho-more Brianna Williams slipped behind the Yachtsmen defense and went one-on-one with Falmouth senior goalkeeper Caroline Lucas. Williams launched a shot over Lu-cas that appeared goal-bound, but it kept rising and hit the crossbar with a thud, bouncing back and out of harm’s way.

The Yachtsmen took a 1-0 lead in the

13th minute on a header off a corner by senior Alex Bernier and delivered a dagger with 3.3 seconds to go in the half when Mary Catherine Kowalsky’s shot deflected off a Morse defender and into the goal. The Shipbuilders couldn’t answer and their season ended at 14-2-1 with the 2-0 setback (Falmouth went on to win a third straight championship, 2-1, over Hermon).

FootballBrunswick’s football team has been

very entertaining this fall and the Dragons produced plenty of drama in their Eastern A semifinal round game at Cony Saturday afternoon. Third-ranked Brunswick had lost, 34-7, at home to the second-seeded Rams back on Sept. 28, but this time, the Dragons raced to a 14-0 lead only to see Cony score 21 straight points. Brunswick got back to 21-20 on standout Jared Jen-sen’s third touchdown, but the extra point hit the upright and the Dragons weren’t able to score again, finishing 7-3 after a painful 21-20 loss.

Cross countryThe New England cross country cham-

pionships are Saturday at Twin Brook Recreation Center in Cumberland.

Brunswick’s Tessa Cassidy will com-pete as an individual in the girls’ race, which begins at 12:30 p.m.

‘West Side Story’ on stage, Jerry Douglas in WestbrookBy Scott Andrews

Two much-honored acts top this week’s picks of the tix, which range from musi-cal theater to classical piano. In the first-mentioned category, a national touring company will present “West Side Story,” one of Broadway’s most honored musicals, Nov. 9-10 in Portland. First produced in 1957, “West Side Story” is one of the few shows to win a Tony, Grammy and Oscar.

Talk about Grammys? Jerry Douglas’ credits – as sideman, session player, pro-ducer and solo artist – are simply amazing. Start with 13 Grammys then add three from the Country Music Association, which has thrice honored Douglas as its Musician of the Year. Douglas and his band will be playing this Saturday in Westbrook.

A 20th-century classical masterpiece is the featured item this Friday in Gorham at the University of Southern Maine School of Music. Three outstanding pianists will perform Olivier Messiaean’s “Vingt Re-gards Sur L’Enfant-Jesus.”

‘West Side Story’Reading through the credits of the origi-

nal 1957 Broadway production of “West Side Story” is like reading the roster of an All Star game.

Start with the show’s basic concept and structure by playwright William Shake-speare, as re-imagined in modern New York City by choreographer Jerome Rob-bins. Then add a script by Arthur Laurents (who also directed), music by Leonard

Musician Jerry

Douglas, a 13-time Grammy winner, plays

Saturday in Westbrook.

Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. All five of those guys won Tony Awards. (Of course Shakespeare’s Tony was post-humous by several centuries.)

“West Side Story” itself won three To-nys; two major Broadway revivals were staged in 1980 and 2009. It remains among the most-produced pieces of American musical theater at all levels, from profes-sional to amateur. On Friday and Saturday, a national professional touring company will present three performances in Merrill Auditorium under the aegis of Portland Ovations.

The basic plot involves the timeless, heart-wrenching conflict between love and loyalty. In “Romeo and Juliet,” the source of the musical, the conflict is be-tween feuding factions in a city-state of Renaissance Italy; in the case of “West Side Story,” the conflict is between rival street gangs.

“Tonight” and Somewhere” are the most recognizable songs from the soaring score, while” I Feel Pretty,” “America” and “Gee, Officer Krupke” are also major numbers that brilliantly advance the plot and define character and situation. And Robbins’ an-gular, sometime anguished choreography remains another driving force behind the show’s enduring popularity.

Portland Ovations presents “West Side Story” at Merrill Auditorium at Portland

City Hall for three performances: Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Jerry DouglasThe melodic, metallic twang of the dobro

is one of the most distinctive and defining sounds of traditional country music and several of its offshoots, including some of today’s top roots artists, such as Mumford and Sons.

The man who put that characteristic twang into thousands of songs on many hundreds of recordings for more than 40 years will be playing this Saturday at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center.

Since the late 1970s, Jerry Douglas has forged a career in the music business with a four-pronged approach. As a virtuoso dobro player, he’s Nashville’s go-to guy for recording sessions, plus he’s a frequent sideman and band mate for luminaries such as bluegrass fiddler Alison Krauss and Brit-ish folk-rocker Marcus Mumford. He’s also one of Music City’s most prolific record producers, with more than a thousand songs and albums to his credit.

Of all the records Douglas has been involved with in any capacity, his biggest-seller was “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” the soundtrack to the 2000 film of the same name. The CD sold nearly eight million copies in the U.S.

And finally Douglas fronts his own eponymous band, which recently released “Traveler,” a CD album that was recorded in New Orleans, Nashville and London.

The selections on the CD (released in June) reflect Douglas’ incredibly diverse experience in the roots music business, and it also represents a bit of stretching beyond his familiar comfort zones. “The big idea of this record is to mix in a few more cultures into the pot I’ve been stirring for years,” he comments.

A bit of background: The dobro is a spe-cialized acoustic guitar that is the immedi-ate predecessor to the ubiquitous electric guitar and the pedal steel guitar, which is a staple of traditional country music. Devel-oped in the 1930s, the dobro uses a metallic resonator cone to project a louder sound -- a function that has been largely superseded by electric guitars.

Strings are plucked or strummed with specially designed finger picks. Frequencies (notes) are defined by a steel cylinder that is moved up and down the neck in a slid-

ing motion, rather than by pressing a string against a fret. The instrument’s haunting glissando effect, a complete continuum of frequencies available between the pre-defined notes, is mostly heard today on the electric pedal steel “Hawaiian” guitar.

For traditionalists, nothing beats the original dobro, which is still manufactured by a division of Gibson Guitars.

Nobody plays the dobro better than Douglas, and he’s been honored seven times by the International Bluegrass Mu-sic Association as its Best Instrumental Performer. He’s also an artist in residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

Dave McLaughlin’s Heptunes presents the Jerry Douglas Band at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center, 471 Stroudwater St. (at the new middle school) at 8 p.m. Nov. 10. For advance tickets, go to heptu-nesconcerts.com.

USM School of MusicThe magnum opus of one of the most

influential French composers of the 20th century will be spotlighted on Friday at the University of Southern Maine.

Olivier Messiaen embodied a unique combination of mystic and musical revo-lutionary, and his masterpiece dates from 1944: an enormous piano cycle titled “Vingt Regards Sur L’Enfant-Jesus,” which is typically translated as “Twenty Contem-plations of Jesus.”

With 20 movements of challenging dif-ficulty, “Vingt Regards” is one of the most ambitious and exhausting piano works ever composed.

Generally, the work is presented on concert programs by a selection of move-ments. This Friday the entire work will be performed, with the heavy burden of performance shared by three outstanding pianists from southern Maine.

Anastasia Antonacos, a professor at the school, plus Bridget Convey and Chiharu Naruse will perform “Vingt Regards” in remembrance of the 20th anniversary of the composer’s death. Another form of interpre-tation will be added to this performance: Images will be projected to represent the story and/or meaning of each of the 20 movements.

The concert is slated for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at Corthell Concert Hall on the USM Gorham campus. Call the music box office at 780-5555.

Question 1from page 1


Paul LePage then has 10 days to certify the results. The law goes into effect 30 days after the governor certifies election results, Sanborn said.

Unofficial returns Wednesday morning showed that the historic vote on Election Day to legalize same-sex marriage was a mirror image of the vote three years ago to repeal a gay marriage law passed by the Legislature.

As of 12:35 p.m. Wednesday, the vote on Question 1 was 350,004, or 52.7 percent, in favor of allowing same-sex couples to marry in Maine and 313,958, or 47.3 per-cent, against. The 2009 vote was 53 percent to 47 percent in favor of the repealing gay marriage law, which never went into effect.

Mainers United for Marriage claimed victory about midnight Tuesday. Campaign manager Matt McTighe attributed the win in part to the door-to-door work done by hundreds of staff members and volunteers.

That strategy, along with having the question on the ballot during a presidential election and the television ads featuring Maine families, turned the tide on the issue, according to Mark Brewer, a political sci-ence professor at the University of Maine.

“I do think the ads talking about family members were very effective,” he said in an email. “I also think the Yes on 1 ground game was exceptional. Knocking on doors and really talking to people is almost al-ways an effective tactic.

“Finally, the electorate is not static,” he said. “It changes a bit every election cycle, and same-sex marriage is an issue that has time on its side due to population replace-ment. Young people are simply more sup-portive than older people.”

Although Maine’s same-sex marriage pendulum swung back toward legalization

Tuesday, only time will tell whether the new law will endure.

David Farmer, a spokesman for Main-ers United for Marriage, said it’s possible that opponents of same-sex marriage could launch another citizen initiative to bring yet another question to voters statewide.

Carroll Conley, co-chairman of Protect Marriage Maine, the group that led the ef-fort to defeat Question 1, said Wednesday morning in a telephone interview that he would meet with campaign staff to assess whether to launch an effort to overturn Tuesday’s outcome.

“We have to assess whether we have the people and the resources to launch an effort right away or if at all,” he said. “We need to get a feel for where we go from here.”

Any new referendum effort would have to amend the law passed Tuesday, Matt McTighe, campaign manager for the win-ning side, said Wednesday morning. Under Maine law, a people’s veto cannot be used to repeal a referendum question passed by voters, he said.

A referendum question could be worded to put back into the statute the wording, struck by Tuesday’s vote, which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. It also could remove the language that says Maine recognizes “a marriage of a same-sex couple that is validly licensed and certified in another jurisdiction.”

Even if opponents of Question 1 did seek to overturn it, the evidence in Maine and beyond indicates tolerance of same-sex marriage is spreading. Even opponents of same-sex marriage said they knew this day would come.

On Tuesday alone, two states other than Maine approved same-sex marriage and a third, Minnesota, rejected a bid to redefine marriage as being between one man and one woman. In Washington and Maryland on Tuesday, voters approved same-sex mar-

riage by rejecting bids to veto laws passed by those states’ Legislatures.

In New England, same-sex marriage is allowed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Vermont, and civil unions for same-sex couples are allowed in Rhode Island. Other states that permit same-sex marriage are New York, Washington and Iowa, along with Washington, D.C.

In Maine, the fight over same-sex mar-riage is familiar. The Legislature and Gov. John Baldacci enacted a law to allow same-sex marriage in 2009, but it was repealed later that year by a citizen-initiated veto that passed 53 percent to 47 percent – which was the same spread that Question 1 passed by on Tuesday, according to unofficial re-sults collected by the Bangor Daily News with 94 percent of precincts reporting.

In addition, Congress repealed the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Act in 2010 – clearing the way for gays in the military – and earlier this year President Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to voice his support for same-sex marriage.

But until recent years, same-sex marriage has had a tough run. Opponents of gay mar-riage said that in the 32 states where voters had weighed in on the same-sex marriage issue before Tuesday, it had been rejected.

But Rick Jacobs, founder and chairman of the Courage Campaign, said Tuesday that the tide has been turning in favor of same-sex marriage since 2008, when Cali-fornia voters approved a measure known as Proposition 8, which amended its constitu-tion to define marriage as being between one man and one woman.

“When voters have the opportunity to really hear directly from loving, commit-ted same-sex couples and their families, they voted for fairness and the freedom to marry,” Jacobs said in a press release. “How fitting that four years after Prop. 8 awakened the nation, and the world, to the injustice of marriage for some but not for all committed couples, we have now won at the ballot box. The Supreme Court can see that America is continuing its historic march towards equality and justice for all. Those who oppose the freedom to marry for committed couples are clearly on the wrong side of history. ... It won’t be long at all before all loving, committed couples have the freedom to marry.”

Conley said in a written statement early Wednesday morning that his campaign knew from the outset that “marriage was in trouble in our country.”

“The problems that have weakened this critical institution started long before

this attempt to redefine it,” said Conley. “We genuinely fear for the consequences we raised during the campaign. The fact remains, marriage still needs to be strength-ened and promoted for future generations.”

Although the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland was not a coalition partner with Protect Marriage Maine this year as it was in 2009, Bishop Richard J. Malone, now head of the diocese in Buffalo, N.Y., issued a statement Wednesday morning expressing disappointment in the outcome of the election.

“I am deeply disappointed that a majority of Maine voters have redefined marriage from what we have understood it to be for millennia by civilizations and religions around the world,” Malone said in a state-ment emailed to the media. “I am thankful for those who engaged in sincere and civil discourse on this matter of such serious consequence to our society.

“I am grateful to those who supported and recognize the value of marriage as the union of one man and one woman,” he continued. “I especially want to thank the Catholic faithful who did not abandon Cath-olic teachings on the nature of marriage.”

Last month, Malone, who continues to act as the apostolic administrator for the dio-cese, said that any Catholic who voted in fa-vor of a referendum to allow same-sex mar-riage “is unfaithful to Catholic doctrine.”

Malone was critical for the group Catho-lics for Marriage Equality, which publicly supported the referendum and demonstrated Sunday in favor of Question 1 outside the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland.

The bishop in January said the diocese would not be a part of the campaign to defeat the referendum but would focus its efforts on educating Catholics about church teachings on the issue of marriage. In 2009, the diocese gave $500,000 to the repeal ef-fort and lent Marc Mutty, director of public policy, to the campaign full time.

Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in Washington, D.C., said in a statement Tues-day night that 29 states have constitutional amendments defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

“People are sitting in those states know-ing the trajectory of the country is moving in our direction and that people around the country are with us,” said Carey.

Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, also in Washington, D.C., called Maine’s vote on Tuesday “a landmark election for marriage equality.”

“As we celebrate victory tonight we know we have added momentum to ensure that this victory is soon felt in every corner of the country,” said Griffin.

Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, said in a state-ment Wednesday that despite the outcome of the elections in four states, Americans do not support gay marriage.

“Americans remain strongly in favor of marriage as the union of one man and one woman,” he said. “The election results reflect the political and funding advantages our opponents enjoyed in these [four] very liberal states.

“Though we are disappointed over these losses, we remain faithful to our mission and committed to the cause of preserving marriage as God designed it,” he continued. “Marriage is a true and just cause, and we will never abandon the field of battle just because we experienced a setback. There is much work to do, and we begin that process now.”

ment Wednesday morning, saying he had hoped to be able to use fireworks if he wanted, and that Topsham would have had the opportunity to attract a new kind of business to town.

But he said he was pleased that voters had a simple yes-or-no question to answer, and that they turned out in droves at the polls. Topsham’s voter turnout was 83 percent.

“I think everyone had a say, so I feel very good ... (that) we accomplished that,” Douglass said.

Two ballot questions on June 12 each presented voters with three choices about fireworks. The first question asked about the sale of consumer fireworks, while the second involved fireworks use. Voters were asked to pick one of the three options pre-sented under each question.

Question 1A asked whether the town should “neither regulate nor prohibit the sale of consumer fireworks and therefore permit the sale of consumer fireworks in accordance with state law?” That question received 436 votes.

Question 2A asked the same thing, but in respect to the use of consumer fireworks,

and received 419 votes.Question 1B asked voters if they wanted

to enact a zoning ordinance regulating fireworks sales, which 227 voters favored. Question 1C asked whether an ordinance prohibiting those sales should be enacted, and 565 – the majority – voted for that option.

The second and third parts of Question 2 also involved ordinances to either regulate fireworks use, or ban it. Two hundred fifty-nine voters favored regulation, while 540 preferred prohibition.

Douglass had argued that if the first two parts of each question – which called for some kind of legal sale or use – were added together, their total be greater than the third, which called for a ban on the sale or use. Fifty-four percent voted for some kind of sale, while 56 percent favored some man-ner of use.

“In my opinion a majority, because it was split three ways, essentially didn’t get what they were looking for,” Douglass said earlier this year.

he hasn’t yet heard from national Repub-lican leaders or Maine Gov. Paul LePage.

King will travel to Washington, D.C., this weekend for an orientation as a new member of Congress. One of his first steps, he said, will be to reach out to fellow former governors in the Sen-ate, including Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine of Virginia, Tom Carper of Delaware and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.

“Former governors tend to be more bipartisan,” he said. “They also tend to be action-oriented.”

And King said he’s holding out hope that senators can start to overcome the gridlock that’s characterized the chamber in recent years.

“There’s a general realization that if we’re going to solve the public’s prob-lems, we’ve got to get over this idea of party,” he said.

King’s remarks followed a hard-fought race punctuated by an influx of nearly $7.4 million that poured into Maine’s Senate race from outside groups hoping to sway the election.

King and his challengers Tuesday night all discussed the influence of outside spending. Republican-leaning groups poured in a majority of the funds, $4.24 million, in an effort to peel away support from King and create an opening for Summers.

But an influx of spending on King’s behalf followed. That barrage of spend-ing from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the non-profit group Americans Elect kept the race from getting closer, Summers said Tuesday night in Portland after conceding victory.

The Republican’s campaign “didn’t have the resources to counteract” that advertising, Summers said.

Despite the outside advertising, Sum-mers said his campaign stuck to its origi-nal game plan.

“I’m very proud of the campaign,” he said. “I wouldn’t change a thing. I think

we worked incredibly hard and really were able to take a campaign that nobody paid any attention to, to something that really became a hotly contested race.”

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which didn’t endorse Demo-cratic nominee Dill, became the biggest outside spender in Maine’s Senate race. The group poured $1.49 million into ads attacking Summers.

“When I look at the polls, they’re the same from beginning to end,” Dill said Tuesday night before voting at Cape Elizabeth High School. “At the end of the day, I don’t think it’s money that makes or breaks a campaign.”

As for his future, Summers said Tues-day night he would consider another term as secretary of state – a position elected by the Legislature – but said that before it was clear that Democrats had recaptured control of both legislative chambers.

“It’s just what it is,” he said of his loss. “You dust yourself off and you move on.”

Summers lost three previous bids to represent Maine’s 1st District in the U.S. House.

In the immediate aftermath of the race, Dill said she needed to tend to family business, but wouldn’t rule out another run for office.

“I don’t know exactly what’s next,” she said. “I really feel passionate about service. It’s the journey that counts. It’s not the final destination.”

While Maine’s 2012 Senate race was expensive and hotly contested, spending by the candidates for Maine’s open U.S. Senate seat fell well short of candidate spending in Maine’s last Senate race, in 2008.

That year, when U.S. Sen. Susan Col-lins was facing a challenge from former Democratic U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, candi-date spending totaled $14.3 million.

Four years later, the candidates to replace Olympia Snowe had spent $5.3 million through mid-October.
