Regal Cinemasto exit FalmouthWalmart may expand in spaceBy Emily Parkhurst

FA L M O U T H — T h e 10-screen Regal Cinemas may soon become a Walmart grocery store if the retail giant’s plans to expand are realized.

“They’ve been seeing viewer-ship decline. It’s been a nearly 50 percent drop off in five years,” property owner Ben Devine said of the cinemas.

Devine, who was instrumental in bringing Walmart to the Route 1 plaza, said Regal Cinemas has signed an agreement stating that they will be vacating the space, but has not solidified a date it will close down operations.

He said in addition to declin-ing revenues, a proposed cinema in Freeport that would increase competition for viewers contrib-uted to the company’s decision to move out of the space.

Devine also said Walmart is very interested in tearing down the existing building and re-

Freeport Review Board approves Ben & Jerry’s relocationBy Amy Anderson

FREEPORT — After two meetings, a site walk and a few plan alterations, the Project Review Board approved the demolition and relocation of the existing Ben & Jerry’s store.

building in the footprint.The cinema building is 22,500

square feet. If Walmart were to expand there, it would go from 84,000 square feet to at least 106,500 square feet.

Meanwhile, a plan to limit all development in town to 75,000 square feet footprint per business, with a maximum of 120,000 for a multi-business building, is making its way to the Town Council.

The Community Develop-ment Committee, a three-person subcommittee of the Council, is expected to present a proposal to the full council on Dec. 13, which could then be drafted into an zoning ordinance amendment to limit large business develop-ments.

If the CDC’s proposed amend-ment had support from the coun-cil, it would then have to through Planning Board administrative review, public hearings and be approved by a vote of the council for it to take effect.

The new Ben & Jerry’s store will be located behind the Bartol

Library building now occupied by Abercrombie & Fitch. It will be a 1,170 square-foot structure with the back of the building to Nathan Nye Street. The size of the building was reduced by 10 feet following the site walk.

While the board approved the plan unanimously, some mem-

bers questioned the allowable use of the new pedestrian space and voiced disappointment in the loss of the railing area in front of the building to place campaign signs and announce-ments.

Project Review Board mem-ber Alan Tracy said many resi-

dents were concerned about losing the area where signs and announcements are posted. He said the area, used for candidate support, community events and local announcements, makes Freeport more of a community

Grant helps make Rowe School mural possibleBy Amy Anderson

YARMOUTH — With the help of a grant from Yarmouth Arts, artists Mary Rehak and Page O’Rouke created a mural in the Rowe School depicting the school’s core values using inspiration from student art.

The mural covers the atrium’s eight walls and depicts the core values of being kind, safe, helpful and polite.

Rehak said from start to finish, the mural took about a year and six months to complete.

“Page and I presented our two main ideas to the teachers of the school,” Re-hak said. “They unanimously supported a mural that would have a student focus using children’s art.”

Rehak said the school community, including teachers, students and par-

contributed by betsey shepard

ents, were invited to create drawings that depict the core values. From these drawings, Rehak and O’Rourke selected drawings based on common themes and presented their findings to the teachers for final approval.

“We were very supported from start to finish,” Rehak said. “I cannot take credit for quite a bit of this because it was a community effort.”

Rehak, a former art teacher at the Rowe School and O’Rourke, a children’s book illustrator, finished the mural in eight days in June.

“We have very different artistic styles but have the best working relationship,” Rehak said. “Painting the mural was the highlight of my summer.”

The dedication of the mural took place on Nov. 9 at the Rowe School. The sec-

ond grade class came from Yarmouth Elementary School to be a part of the celebration.

Rehak said the dedication was a good conclusion to the project.

“The mural was really created by the children. They are the artists,” she said. “It was nice to have them present for the dedication.”

“In closing, challenging decisions made by the Town/School that we have deemed in the best interest of supporting our operations (cost/performance) in the past is not what I would deem a positive initial sales call for trying to foster a new relationship.” Falmouth School Business Manager, from his email to the low bidder.

What my FOAA requests have uncovered this year:

1. Spending nearly $38,000 on 13 crosswalks on Rt.1 and around the schools with NO contracts or bids in the file.

2. The Town chooses to pay an EXTRA 50% more for laser printer services and pitching a fit when told about it and refusing to take the lower bid, see quote above.

3. The Town signs a 5-year contract with Specialized Purchasing Consultants (SPC) so Falmouth taxpayers can pay an EXTRA 11% on business equipment to SPC. Almost all towns in Cumberland County including Scarborough and Portland have rejected this company.

4. The Town chooses to pay an EXTRA $107,280 over the last 18 months for electricity for the school system.

5. The Town chooses to pay nearly an EXTRA $20,000 over the last 18 months for electricity for the town buildings.

6. The Town chooses to pay close to an EXTRA $80,000 for heating oil last year for the school system because of a refusal to shop the contract.

7. The Town doesn’t take bids for items under $100,000 because it’s not required to do so by law. For Falmouth taxpayers this is an expensive example of malicious compliance.

8. The Council wastes nearly $1,000 to be “guarded” while on TV and no guards while not on TV.

9. The Council approves spending thousands of dollars on legal fees to slow down my access to information, denying information by “misinterpreting” the questions, and grossly overcharging to discourage future questions.

10. The Council has spent $6,750.50 on legal fees to hinder my ability to obtain documentation on the Town’s out of control mismanagement.

This is going on while we pay one management person over $148,000 and another over $130,000 per year. Would you manage your finances like this? Why does the town man-age our finances like this?

Citizens group criticizes school newspaper for student’s opinionBy Emily Parkhurst

Graham keeps win after recountBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — Anne Graham maintained her victory in the Maine House District 109 election when a recount on Monday showed her to have a 36-vote lead over Gary Foster.

Graham, of North Yarmouth, earned 2,140 votes over 2,104 for Gray resident Foster, Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap reported Monday.

“I was impressed with the process,” Fos-ter, a Republican, said on Tuesday, praising Secretary of State staff for doing “a very thorough and honest job of conducting the recount. So (I’m) very satisfied with the process. It was a good experience.”

He noted that Graham, a Democrat, “worked very hard, and she earned this win.”

Graham said on Tuesday that she was “feeling great. I’m very happy that this is the result, and I’m just ready to work.”

She had defeated Foster on Nov. 2 by 33 votes, 2,132 to 2,099. North Yarmouth resident Tyler Frank, an independent, trailed them with 365 votes. Given the close mar-gin in his loss to Graham, Foster submitted a recount request to the secretary of state’s office on Nov. 8.

Deputy Secretary of State Julie Flynn said last week that each candidate would

Larson mentioned Falmouth Citizens for Sound Choices, a group that has been criti-cal of a town center proposal, and its peti-tion, drafted by Town Council Chairman Tony Payne, against a Nov. 2 referendum. Larson said the petition sent the council

into “a panicked state of disarray.”He also detailed the cost of the proposed

The candidates could observe, but could not participate in the recount. They could also have an attorney present, Flynn said.

District 109 includes parts of North Yarmouth, Pownal and Gray.

Driving for the holidays: Food, toy drives benefit local non-profitsBy Stephanie Grinnell

BRUNSWICK — Downeast Energy is doing a lot of driving this holiday season: food and toy driving, that is.

The propane and heating oil company is participating in two campaigns this year — a toy drive to benefit children serviced by the behavioral health organization, Sweet-ser, of Saco, and a food drive sponsored by South Portland radio station WYNZ to benefit Preble Street Resource Center in Portland.

Betsy Morrell of Downeast Energy said

the company participates in many fundrais-ers and recently completed another food drive to benefit Midcoast Hunger Preven-tion based in Brunswick. She said the Sweetser and Preble Street causes “spoke to us.”

She said that the company has partici-pated in the Sweetser toy drive for at least nine years and that the program actively solicits gifts for teenagers, such as gift cards, electronics, calling cards and cloth-ing, where many other toy drives focus on younger children.

“Often teenagers get left out,” she said.Downeast Energy has collection boxes

in its offices located in Brunswick, Ken-nebunk, Lisbon Falls, York, Waterville, Hallowell, Mt. Vernon, South Portland, Windham, Biddeford, Yarmouth and Springvale. Unwrapped gifts for children ages 6 through 18 will be accepted from Nov. 19 to Dec. 10.

Morrell said the company became in-volved in the food drive called “Stuff A Big Bus Food Drive” as a corporate sponsor years ago. She said Preble Street meets “a

lot of different needs,” including those of the chronically and sporadically homeless.

“It’s a great way to leverage the dollars that we give,” she said.

Preble Street Development Manager Melanie McKean said the “Stuff the Bus” campaign is the largest of the year for the organization, collecting about three months worth of food.

“I don’t know what we would do without it,” McKean said.

Each day, Preble Street serves about 1,100 meals in the soup kitchen, she said. Additional people receive assistance from the weekly food pantry.

It takes about 500 volunteers per week in the soup kitchen, McKean said, adding there is always a need for additional vol-unteers. She said there are businesses that

Boy dies after being pinned by treeBy Amy Anderson

POWNAL — A 5-year-old boy of Pownal died Sunday afternoon while play-ing in a hole created by an uprooted tree on Merrill Road.

According to information released by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, the tree had blown over in last week’s windstorm and created a hole. The boy’s grandfather, using a chainsaw to remove the tree, cut about ten feet above the roots caus-ing the tree to kick back into position. The boy was playing under the roots of the tree when it returned to a standing position. He was crushed under the weight of the trunk.

Freeport draft Comprehensive Plan goes greenBy Amy Anderson

FREEPORT — The 2010 draft version of the Comprehensive Plan has been up-dated to include a new energy conservation section and to promote environmentally friendly practices.

Town Planner Donna Larson said some

of the differences between the 1994 Com-prehensive Plan and the draft 2010 plan re-late to affordable housing, diversity of jobs and businesses, protecting natural, historic, and archaeological resources, maintaining community facilities and transportation opportunities.

Since the last Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1994, Freeport has gone through many changes, Larson said, adding that new housing starts are lower than in the past, population trends are lower than predicted, commercial growth has slowed, energy prices have fluctuated and the long term availability of fossil fuels is uncertain.

The board drafted a new section of the

Plan to address ways to meet future energy needs and recycling efforts. The section focuses on energy conservation and renew-able energy resources, but energy recom-mendations are also found throughout the plan.

The forestry section recommends the preservation of management woodlots to

After some time the boy’s grandfather realized he had not seen the boy or his sister and began to look for them. He saw a por-tion of the boy’s sweatshirt under the tree roots and tried to dig the boy out. Family members called the Pownal Fire Depart-ment at about 1:43 p.m. on Sunday.

When they arrived, Pownal Fire Chief Richard Hogue and firefighter Robert Ginn used a pick-up truck and chains to remove the tree from the boy.

He was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland but was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Sleighbells ringI heard the bells on Christmas day.OK, so it wasn’t exactly Christmas day. It was more

like mid-October.I thought perhaps I had developed tinnitus (ringing in

the ears), but no, indeed, there were bells. Silver bells. The kind Rudolph wears.

I had ventured into Home Goods to procure Hallow-een candles. And possibly a new spider decoration or two. But what to my wondering eyes should ap-pear but aisles overflowing with Santa figurines and snowmen and tinsel and dishtowels embroidered with gingerbread men.

What had happened to Halloween? Had I some-how missed it? Had I fallen into a time travel tunnel on my last date and been transported to an alternate universe?

Then I saw it. Much like a withering floral centerpiece taking up prime space at the dinner table, Halloween had been demoted. Moved to a lesser location, where it could bide its time while quietly awaiting a trip to the dumpster.

It irritated me to think that one of my favorite holi-days had yet to occur and was already on its way to the crematorium. Why was Christmas already stealing the spotlight?

Shortly thereafter, I found myself walking into Macy’s while chatting busily with my teenage daughter, Oph-elia. Ophelia is a creative, intelligent and sensitive child. As we entered the store, I blurted out a fabulous idea: “In a couple of weeks, let’s put aside a whole day and do some early Christmas shopping!”

Ophelia looked me square in my maternal eyes and said, “Why wait? We could do it right now.”

I did not give birth to Ophelia yesterday. And I know when sarcasm is dripping from the corners of her art-fully glossed lips. In that instant, I noticed that Macy’s was already decked out in full Christmas regalia. Bells were ringing and the scent of men’s cologne carried a hint of balsam fir.

The entire scene filled me with dismay and my faith in humankind was once again diminished.

I love Christmas. Even after having had a husband die the morning after the joyous holiday, I still love Christ-mas. I love the sights, sounds, scents and intensified feelings of love and goodwill that permeate the month of December.

But I don’t love the fact that red and green M&Ms are thrust upon us before the candy corn is barely off the shelves at CVS.

This phenomenon is not just limited to Christmas. As many of you have noticed, Easter now begins sometime around Valentine’s Day, which begins before the last of the Rudolph Pez dispensers have been put on the discount shelf at Target.

Charles (or was it Harold?) asked me recently when it was that everything got decorated for Christmas when I was a kid. I told him I didn’t recall it truly arriving until Thanksgiving was over. Anticipation filled the air.

No SugarAdded

Sandi Amorello

At the risk of sounding like a dinosaur, I will tell you that I remember scouring the TV guide, anxious to find out when our beloved animated Christmas shows would be airing. And even though we can now, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” 365 days a year, my 43-year-old brother still calls, his voice overflowing with excitement as he shrieks: “Turn on the TV – it’s on at eight!”

I know Christmas doesn’t come from a box. As The Grinch pointed out, it comes from the heart. But seeing so much holiday spirit spread out everywhere for 8 to 10 weeks before the fact takes something away from the magic.

Our society seems to put a value on rushing to the next thing before we’ve even enjoyed what’s in front of us. Ultimately, death is what’s at the end of this trip. Which begs the question, “Why are we in such a hurry?”

Children grow up, people age, loved ones leave us. And along the way, we get to be part of this miracle we call life.

I don’t want to hear Christmas bells in mid-October. And I don’t think we should have to. So I implore those of you trying to retain the magic of the holiday season, for your families, your children and yourselves: Stock up on earplugs.

And enjoy every moment, in your own sweet time.

Let’s recap, shall we?Eight years of Neo-Con Republican leadership in

Washington created a huge national deficit, embroiled the U.S. in two endless wars, and enabled credit and investment excesses that nearly destroyed the world economy. In 2008, therefore, Americans elected the progressive Barack Obama in hopes of turning the country around.

By 2010, Obama had managed to do exactly what he was elected to do — save the United States from economic collapse, in the process creating a million new jobs, reduc-ing taxes for 95 percent of Americans, reform-ing financial markets to avert the excessive greed of the past, and passing sweeping health care reform that protects the average American fam-ily from the predatory practices of the insur-ance industry. All of this without any help from the GOP Party of No, which was then and is now devoted entirely to making sure that Obama is defeated in 2012. Nothing else matters to them, certainly not the welfare of the American people.

Despite (and in part because of) Obama’s successes, Corporate America, aided and abetted by conservative activist justices on the Supreme Court, began spend-ing vast sums of money to convince frightened and weak-minded Americans that President Obama was some sort of radical socialist Muslim monster. A lot of misguided people came to believe this nonsense and the tea party arose as the tool of the rich in the guise of a populist uprising.

“A loose definition of the Tea Party,” wrote Matt Taibbi in the October 5 issue of Rolling Stone, “might be millions of pissed-off white people sent chasing af-ter Mexicans on Medicaid by the handful of banks and investment firms who advertise on Fox and CNBC.”

Obama’s bad fortunes seemed to turn on health care reform. He lost the enthusiasm of many who helped elect him by not fighting for a public option and he infuriated conservatives with an ill-advised provision

to penalize (tax) people who did not purchase health insurance. Other than that, Obamacare is pretty much what Republicans are now proposing.

So on November 2 we witnessed the predictable reactionary tidal wave of an off-year election as people voted with their emotions rather than their heads. Tea party Republicans swept a lot of deficit hawks into office, though the most obvious tea party nut cases lost big in New York, Nevada, and Delaware. For the time being, however, we have turned Congress back over to people who primarily represent the interests of corpora-tions.

In commonsensical Maine, we also saw control of state government turned over to the GOP, yet we were relatively immune to the hardcore hysteria of the far right. Our incumbent Democratic congressional representatives, one a very progressive liberal, the other a Blue Dog moderate, were re-elected by wide margins over a couple of conservative challengers who had little to offer other than their anger.

We also narrowly elected a conservative Republican governor, one who likely could not survive a run-off election against the second-place Independent. Since the vast majority of voters supported someone other than the winner, the idea that the governor-elect has any kind of popular mandate is bogus.

Still, a win is a win, so if the new Republican gover-nor and his newly empowered conservative confreres in the Legislature can deliver on their promise to reduce government spending without sacrificing essential ser-vices, more power to them. Since he has never offered any specifics about how he might accomplish this, it’s doubtful he can.

In his Rolling Stone article, Matt Taibbi observed that, “The average Tea Partier is sincerely against gov-ernment spending — with the exception of the money spent on them.”

If you want to see a real populist uprising, wait until LePage Surplus & Salvage tries to cut funding for educational, cultural and social programs, gut envi-ronmental regulations, and turn Maine over to private business interests. All those tea partiers receiving public pensions, VA benefits, unemployment benefits, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and MaineCare will be marching on Augusta right along with the majority of Mainers who care more about the common good than about personal gain.

Defending Maine’s mountains against wind power

The Forecaster has done an excellent job regularly informing its readers about the wind power debate in Maine.

I stand proudly with the courageous Mainers who have been stepping forward to stop the destructive industrial-ization of Maine’s mountains by out of state companies. Without massive taxpayer subsidies, First Wind of Mas-sachusetts and TransCanada to the north, would not be devastating Maine’s precious mountain tops and ridge

l ines. These taxpayer-sub-sidized corpo-rations are first and foremost out to get mil-lions of our

federal tax dollars. They are tearing apart Maine’s fragile mountain ecology with false promises driven by greed.

Maine is not South Dakota or the Texas plains where the wind blows hard and strong much of the time. In-dustrial wind is absolutely wrong for our mountains and is the wrong clean energy choice for Maine. Much of our housing stock is poorly insulated and as a result, a community based, state-wide energy efficiency project would be the very best and most cost effective way for Maine to significantly reduce its consumption of fos-sil fuels. We can insulate every home and business in Maine, while creating thousands of jobs, and for a much lower cost than taxpayer subsidized industrial wind. We can then avoid the terrible environmental cost of tearing up our mountains with an unneccasary and destructive industrial wind scheme. Every citizen who treasures our beautiful mountain landscape should speak up against this taxpayer-subsidized, corporate assault. Together, we can stop it. We must not devastate Maine’s mountains or any other special place in order to save it. If Mainers al-low this corporate assault on our mountains to continue, we will be filled with regret for what we have lost.

We must stop industrial wind right now, invest instead in an effective energy efficiency campaign and preserve the Maine we love.

Sally T. Skillin, 81: Family matriarch, known for her laughFALMOUTH — Sally Talbot Skillin,

81, died at her home Thursday, Nov. 11, surrounded by family and friends.

A lifelong resident of Falmouth, she was born Aug. 28, 1929, at her parents home on Gray Road.

After graduating from Falmouth High School in 1948, she attended Westbrook Junior College, gradu-ating with an associate’s degree.

On Sept. 20, 1952, she married her high school sweetheart, John A. Skillin.

Always supportive of her husband’s ca-

reer and the family business, she worked part-time at Skillin’s Greenhouse until this past spring.

Above all, she loved her family, friends and pets.

The family always enjoyed the out-doors, from camping, family gatherings and cookouts - even in the dead of winter - to spending time at the family camps at Indian Pond and Moosehead Lake.

She was well-known for her laugh and love of a good joke.

Her husband John A. Skillin prede-ceased her in 2002.

Surviving are her brother Richard Talbot of Falmouth; her three children Jill Skillin of Washington, Vt., Terry Skillin and his

wife Erlene of Falmouth and Jeff Skillin and his wife Lisa of Falmouth; five grand-children, Chad, Kristina, Cayla, Jessica and Lee; two great-grandchildren, Pyper and Natalie; her brother-in-law David Skillin and his wife Brenda of Falmouth; and many friends whom she loved deeply.

A character to the end, she wanted to go out with a yellow rose in her teeth, and her family respected her wish.

Visiting hours were Tuesday, Nov. 16 at Lindquist Funeral Home in Yarmouth.

A funeral service took place at the West Falmouth Baptist Church Wednesday, Nov. 17, and was followed by a reception.

Please visit lindquistfuneralhome.com

to view a video collage of her life and to share condolences, memories and tributes with the Skillin family.

While she loved flowers, memorial do-nations can be made to the Animal Refuge League, P.O. Box 336, Westbrook, ME 04098 or to Beacon Hospice, 54 Atlantic Place, South Portland, ME 04106.

John W. Porter, 78 CUMBERLAND — John Warren Por-

ter, 78, died peacefully Sunday, Nov. 14, at Bay Square in Yarmouth.

On Nov. 25, 1931, he was born in Orono, a son of Thomas and Ethel Porter.

After graduating from Orono High School in 1950, he joined the U.S. Air Force and served until 1956.

A passion for teach-ing and mathematics, he earned a bachelor’s degree in education in 1959, a master’s degree in education in 1966 from the University of Maine, and a master’s degree in education in 1974 from the University of Maine at Portland-Gorham.

His teaching career in mathematics spanned three decades, including public schools in North Yarmouth, Gray and Gray-New Gloucester; North Yarmouth Academy, Saint Joseph’s College and University of Southern Maine.

Outside of the classroom, he was a long-time rural mail carrier in North Yarmouth. Over the years he served his community by volunteering as a trustee and superin-tendent of Blanchard Cemetery in Fal-mouth for 25 years, a former trustee of the Maine Center for the Blind, past president and active member of the Cumberland/North Yarmouth Lions Club, and was a member of the Cumberland Congrega-tional Church and North Yarmouth Con-gregational Church.

An avid gardener and outdoor enthu-siast, he travelled extensively and volun-teered for Elder-Hostel and Habitat for Humanity projects in his later years.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Yvonne Goupil Porter, in 1968, and a son John W. Porter, Jr., in 1986.

Survivors include two sons, Jeffrey W. Porter and his wife Mary of Cumberland, and their five children, Molly, Eliza, Sam, Isabel and Tate, and James W.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the caring staff at Bay Square and Beacon Hospice.

Yarmouth rallies, earns first state final berthBy Michael Hoffer

YARMOUTH—Fittingly, a program that is still in its relative infancy turned to one of its young-est members to make the differ-ence Saturday afternoon.

With time growing thin, facing a five-point deficit to talented and gritty Lisbon, the Yarmouth Clip-pers saved their best for last, cap-ping a stirring rally from a 12-0 hole and taking the lead for good when freshman quarterback Brady Neujahr raced untouched 65 yards to paydirt with 4:06 to play.

After a defensive stop, Yarmouth ran out the clock, improved to 11-0 and ended the Greyhounds’ season at 9-2 by virtue of a 14-12 decision.

The Clippers advanced to meet Stearns (11-0) in the Class C state final Saturday at 6 p.m., at Fitzpat-rick Stadium in Portland.

A program that won just once in its first 18 varsity contests is now 48 minutes away from the biggest prize of them all.

“These kids aren’t quitters,” said Jim Hartman, the only varsity coach the Clippers have known. “We knew we had to be patient

Jason VeIlleux / For The ForecasTerTrailing 12-7 in the fourth quarter, Yarmouth freshman quarterback Brady Neujahr rolls right and follows the blocks of seniors Nick Proscia (22) and

and play field position. I knew someone would break one.”

Another duel to the endJust two years ago, the idea of

Yarmouth playing in a regional final would have been scoffed at, but the Clippers have become a powerhouse quickly, reaching the regional final last fall before running the table in emphatic fashion this regular season. After beating Maranacook and Oak Hill, Yarmouth welcomed a Lisbon squad Saturday, which went 7-1 in the regular season before downing Jay and Winthrop (in overtime) in its playoff run.

The teams met in a regular sea-son classic, a 16-14 Clippers win

on a late field goal, Oct. 2, in Lis-bon. They had no playoff history prior to Saturday’s contest. which was played under greatly appreci-ated warm skies in front of a huge gathering of vocal fans who would witness an instant classic.

The hosts got the ball first and hoped to make an immediate statement, but only gained three

yards on three rushes and had to punt.

The Greyhounds then embarked on an impressive 11 play, 52 yard, 4 minute, 40 second drive to take the lead. Sophomore quarterback Ryan Riordan found junior Zack Splude through the air for gains of 12- and 22-yards. On fourth-and-10 at the Yarmouth 15, Rior-dan scrambled for 12, setting up a 1-yard TD run from senior Tobey Harrington. The two-point conver-sion pass failed, but Lisbon had struck first, leading 6-0.

The Clippers got the offense going on their next possession as a 16-yard run from senior Nick Proscia moved the ball into Greyhounds’ territory. On fourth-and-3 from the 35, Neujahr rolled left and picked up 17 yards for a first down at the 18. A false start short-circuited the drive, however, and the hosts eventually turned the ball over on downs.

Yarmouth’s defense forced a three-and-out and as the first pe-riod gave way to the second, the Clippers drove again.

After Proscia picked up a first down with a 13-yard scamper, junior Anders Overhaug ran for 13 and a first down at the Lisbon 35. On third-and-3, Proscia ran for five and another first down. Again, Yarmouth shot itself in the foot, however, with an illegal procedure penalty. On fourth-and-2 from the 15, senior Asa Arden picked up two yards, but was tripped up just short of the first down marker and again, the Greyhounds got the ball on downs.

This time, the visitors made the Clippers pay as Riordan dropped back and launched a perfect pass to senior Josh Pomerleau along the right sideline for a stunning 87-yard scoring play. Again, the two-point conversion (a rush at-tempt by junior Zack Splude) failed, something which would

prove huge later, but Lisbon had shocked Yarmouth by taking a 12-0 lead with 7:38 to go before halftime.

If the Clippers hadn’t managed to get into the end zone before the break, they would have been in se-rious trouble, but thanks to special teams and a gift, they finally got on the board.

After its next drive ended at the Greyhounds’ 48 after a sack, Neu-jahr took the fourth down snap and quick punted. The ball landed at the 20 and bounced all the way to the Lisbon 5. Two plays later, the Greyhounds fumbled the cen-ter exchange and Proscia pounced on the ball at the 7.

It took Yarmouth two plays to score. After Proscia ran for a yard, Neujahr rolled left and threw a pass to Proscia who did the rest, breaking the plane, and just like that, with 2:36 remaining in the half, the Clippers were on the board.

“That was big to get momentum back and not fall too far behind,” said Neujahr. “I just rolled out. There was a guy coming right in my face, but Proscia barely got open for a second. I threw it and it was right there.”

With junior Bryce Snyder un-available due to injury, Proscia kicked the extra point and his boot was true, making it 12-7.

Each team had a possession be-fore the half, but couldn’t convert and Lisbon took a five-point lead to the break.

In the opening 24 minutes, the hosts had a 147-146 edge in offense, but were hindered by penalties. The second half would provide plenty of tension, drama and ultimately for the home folks, joy and triumph.

Clippers can go where no team’s gone beforeBy Michael Hoffer

When Yarmouth’s football team takes the Fitzpatrick Stadium turf Saturday night, history will be within its grasp.

Not only are the Clippers playing in a state final for the first time, seeking to win the first Gold Ball in the program’s short history, but it will also mark a rare opportunity as Yarmouth seeks to follow up its boys’ soccer state title from Nov. 6 with a football champi-onship in the same season (Ban-gor will look to do the same a few hours earlier).

That’s a feat that no school anywhere in the state of Maine has ever accomplished.

Hampden Academy made it to the 1998 state final in both sports, but lost football to Leavitt and soccer to Greely. York won the Class B football title in 1989 and boys’ soccer the following year. Yarmouth now has a chance to do the Wildcats one better.

While some predicted earlier in the decade that football and soccer could never coexist in a small, soccer-centric town, the reality has been the complete opposite.

“The large majority of the community simply wants all Yarmouth kids to do well no matter what they are doing,”

said Mike Hagerty, the boys’ soccer coach, who just won his fifth Class B state title in 14 seasons. “Because of this, the two have coexisted well and actually supported one another very openly and earnestly. That fact is simply a reflection of the wonderfully close-knit com-munity that we are fortunate to have here in Yarmouth.”

“Automatically, people thought having football would be a negative influence,” said Yarmouth athletic director Susan Robbins. “I will give a lot of credit to (football coach) Jim Hartman for making sure it didn’t happen. Anytime there was something that came up, he and the parents who started football went through the proper channels and rallied the community and talked about all the benefits. That’s brought the program forward. A lot of people have bought in.”

Not only have both programs excelled this fall (and last year too, when they combined to lose only four out of 33 games), they’ve both done so without a blemish. Boys’ soccer tied a game at Cape Elizabeth, but won its other 17 outings and capped arguably the finest season in program history with a 5-0 win over Ellsworth in the Class B state game. continued page 17

After struggling its first two varsity seasons (0-8 in 2007 and 1-7 in 2009), football has caught fire. After starting 0-2 a year ago, the Clippers have won 19 of their past 20 gridiron outings.

“We’ve come a long way,” said Hartman. “We have great athletes in the school. We win in lacrosse and soccer and baseball. The kids know how to complete. It’s such a blessing. I hope football will now bring that to other sports and it’ll feed off each other.”

Rest assured, soccer remains a huge part of the fabric of the community. Robbins said that 32 kids are playing football this fall and 60 are involved with soccer, enough for three teams. Obviously, there’s room for both programs to excel.

“I think it’s a credit to the community,” Robbins said. “It always amazes me that we have every sport except cheering and wrestling and our school is barely 500 kids. That number’s consistent. We’re 14 square miles. We don’t have a ton of room to grow like other schools. The athletic traditions in this town are very rich, certainly soccer.

“I attribute that (girls’ coach) Rich (Smith) and Mike. Rich

You May Have Noticed…..

Natural gas is coming to Freeport and PownalAs we have built the infrastructure to bring Maine Natural Gas to your communities, we may

have inconvenienced motorists and residents. We regret that inconvenience, but are excited to offer this green and cost effective energy alternative to homes and businesses in Freeport and Pownal.

Because this is a new energy choice, we wanted to give you more information and some safety tips regarding natural gas:

Safety is Our Top PriorityThe natural gas industry has an outstanding safety record. This is the result of extensive

training and safety programs overseen by federal and state regulatory agencies. Whether you are a natural gas customer or not, it is important to be familiar with the characteristics of natural gas and be prepared to react quickly and properly to ensure your safety and the safety of others.

Leak Recognition and ResponseA natural gas leak is often recognized by smell, sight or sound.

SMELL — A distinctive, pungent odor, similar to rotten eggs, is added so that you’ll recognize it quickly.

SIGHT — You may see a white dust cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water or blowing dust. You may also see vegetation that appears to be dead for no apparent reason.

SOUND — You may hear an unusual noise like roaring, hissing or whistling.

What You Should Do If You Suspect a Leak--Move to a safe environment--Call us immediately at 1-877-532-5636 (Maine Natural Gas emergency number)--Do not smoke or operate electrical switches of appliances--Do not assume someone else will report the condition--Provide exact location

Don’t Dig Yourself Into TroubleDigging is dangerous and costly if you don’t know where underground utilities are buried. Utility accidents can be harmful to life, property and the environment. To protect gas pipelines and other underground facilities, the law requires that all excavators contact DIG SAFE at 1-888-DIG SAFE before excavation work begins on public or private property. DIG SAFE will contact us so we can mark out the

location of our pipelines prior to excavation.

We are proud to provide a new, safe, green, and competitively priced energy choice to interested customers in Freeport and Pownal. And, we plan to extend our new local gas distribution system to serve additional customers in Freeport and Pownal in the years ahead.

If you have any questions, please call us at (207) 729-0420

Jason Veilleux / For The ForecasTerYarmouth senior captains Jack Watterson (51)

and Nate Pingitore show off the Western C championship trophy after the Clippers rallied

to beat Lisbon, 14-12, Saturday.

from their 3 into Yarmouth territory before senior Tommy O’Toole intercepted a pass at the 2.

A 30-yard Overhaug run got the hosts out of danger, but they couldn’t pick up another first down and had to punt. Lisbon was held as well and had to punt. A fake appeared to gain a first down, but a holding penalty negated the surprise gain and forced a punt and the Clippers took over at their 37 late in the third.

They would move into Greyhounds’ territory as the third period gave way to the fourth, but ultimately had to punt again, pinning Lisbon deep.

The Greyhounds started at their 9 and went three-and-out. With 9:09 to play, Yarmouth took over at its 47, in great field position, but after Proscia and Overhaug only gained a yard each, a Neujahr pass to Pingitore went for seven yards, but left the Clippers a yard shy of a first down. Junior Dennis Erving then unleashed a perfect punt which forced Lisbon to start at its 1 with 7:05 remaining.

Any hopes that Yarmouth had of a quick stop and great field position went out the window when Splude broke free up the gut and wasn’t brought down until he reached the Clippers’ 25, a 74-yard gain. Overhaug’s hustle saved what

could have been a backbreaking touchdown.The Greyhounds had a chance to ice the win,

but on fourth-and-7, Riordan passed to Splude, but he only managed six yards and the hosts got the ball back at their 16 with 5:18 showing.

This time, finally, Yarmouth’s offense would rediscover its explosiveness.

On first down, Neujahr threw to Overhaug for 14 yards. Three plays later, the Clippers faced third-and-5 at their 35.

Neujahr would keep the ball and wasn’t touched until he was mobbed by his joyous teammates in the end zone.

The freshman rolled right, found a hole and raced down the right sideline. As Lisbon’s defense chased after him to no avail, Neujahr capped the 65-yard TD run and with 4:06 to play, Yarmouth was back on top.

“I ran outside and they bit down on Proscia,” said Neujahr. “He hit the outside guy and I saw a lane and took it downfield. It was an option, but I read his block and found the seam. We hadn’t run that option play. I got sprung loose.

“I wanted the ball in my hands. No one was catching me on that one. I was just thinking touchdown. That’s the highlight of my career so far. No one had a hand on me. It was awesome. I was only thinking of getting in the end zone.”

“Our freshman quarterback pulled through

at the end for us,” Proscia said. “He doesn’t play like a freshman. We treat him like a fresh-man though. We had to keep pushing. If they stopped us, it would have been hard to get the ball back. We were ready to step up.”

“I was getting ready to call another play, ba-bying the quarterback,” added Hartman. “One of the receivers said we should run ‘Student Body’ and we ran it. The last time we played Lisbon, we had it twice, but Brady cut it inside. This morning, I told him not to cut back.”

The Clippers should have gone for the two-point conversion to ensure that they couldn’t be beaten by a field goal, but Hartman elected to have Proscia kick the extra point and he nailed it for a 14-12 lead.

While Yarmouth had all the momentum, the Greyhounds and their prolific passing attack still had a chance to respond, but the Clippers defense would save its best for last.

Presented by

Roxanne Quimby, former CEO of Burt’s Bees has created The Quimby Colony, a non-profit urban artist-in-residence program specializing in both fashion/costume/textile design and the culinary arts located in the former Roma Restaurant building at 769 Congress Street.

Roxanne will describe how this venture can help Portland fulfill a vision of itself as a creative, artistic community and a destination for artists and their patrons.

Creative,As Usual

On first down, Riordan threw incomplete as O’Toole had a chance for an interception, but couldn’t hold on. Riordan then threw high in the direction of senior Zack Greene. On third down, Riordan was again off the mark. On fourth down, Lisbon’s final chance, Riordan was hit by senior Jack Watterson as he threw and his pass was batted down by O’Toole.

“We’ve worked on defending the pass all week in practice,” said O’Toole. “We knew

that if we got beat, we had to keep our heads high and keep working. We can’t rely only on offense. We picked it up on defense when we needed to.”

“We are so aggressive on defense,” Hartman said. “We knew they couldn’t run on us and that they’d have to pass. They took advantage, but at the end, we got the stop. Jack Watterson didn’t play defense until the fourth quarter. He was huge.”

Yarmouth got the ball on downs at the Greyhounds’ 41 with 3:43 to play still needing a first down or two to run out the clock. After Proscia ran for two yards, then five, Pingitore was thrown for a seven-yard loss, forcing a punt, but on the kick, Erving was roughed as the Clippers retained possession and got a new set of downs with 1:39 to go.

With Lisbon out of timeouts, Proscia ran for a yard before Neujahr twice took a knee.

At 3:16 p.m., the clock showed 0:00 and Yarmouth was able to celebrate its inspirational 14-12 win.

“The defense didn’t give up and played with heart,” Neujahr said. “We didn’t get down and played hard all game. We knew we could come back. We knew we wouldn’t score a lot of points. We faced adversity this year, like the first Lisbon game. Lisbon’s tough and quick on the outside.”

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s a great feeling,” O’Toole said. “We’ve worked since February in the weight room. I’m glad to see it pay off. It’s hard work. Three-hour plus practices. Working all year, in the summer. Dedication, discipline, all that work got us here. We praise Lisbon. They’re a great team. They have weap-ons just like we do. We knew it would be close the whole time.”

“It’s just a great feeling,” Proscia added. “It wasn’t easy at all. Lisbon put up a fight. We just had to keep our hearts in it. It was a tough battle.”

The Clippers had a 319-302 edge in total yardage. Neujahr finished with 99 yards and the program’s most famous TD to date on four rushes. He threw for 27 yards and a score on 3-of-6 attempts. Overhaug led Yarmouth with 104 rushing yards on 15 carries. Proscia gained a gritty 98 on 19 tries. He also caught the six-yard TD pass. The Clippers were penalized five times for 28 yards.

For Lisbon, Riordan completed 9-of-22 passes for 182 yards a TD and an interception. On the ground, the Greyhounds were limited, although Splude had 100 yards (74 on one carry) on 10 attempts. Lisbon was flagged five

times for 46 yards and was hurt by the two crucial turnovers.

One moreYarmouth will enter Saturday’s state game

confident as it tries to make history (see story) against a team that has plenty of history on its side.

Stearns went 8-0 in the regular season, earned the top seed in Eastern C and defeated Orono (54-8), Foxcroft Academy (14-13) and John Bapst (20-7) to make it to Fitzpatrick Stadium.

The Minutemen (who have won six outright state championships and tied for three others) and Clippers have never met.

Yarmouth is thrilled to live to play another week, but the Clippers aren’t about to rest on their laurels.

“We’re ready to try hard and show what Yarmouth’s made of, not just a lot rich boys,” said Proscia. “We can play football. Stearns is tough. They have a great running game. We’ll have to put a lot of heart into it and try to stop their running game. I’m excited.”

“I think it’s just begun,” said O’Toole. “We’ll work like we have all year. We won’t take a break now. It can go either way, but we haven’t done all this work to settle for nothing.”

“We’ll keep working hard all week,” Neujahr said. “We’ve done that all year. We’ll play with a lot of heart next week. We want to finish it off.”

Hartman knows the final step won’t be easy.“Stearns plays great defense,” he said. “I

think we have another Lisbon. They won’t come down here and get the snot knocked out of them. They won’t waste their time. We have young players. We’ll have to see how much energy these guys have.”

Eleven tests have been passed.Destiny’s darlings are one win away.

is the first and only coach here. When Mike came on board, we had two coaches teaching in the middle school and it was an opportunity to promote the sport all the way through. The Colts (youth soccer) pro-gram is just a machine. The parents make that happen. The high school kids come down and do clinics every Saturday morn-ing. They have ‘buddy time.’ It provides a unique connection and gives little kids something to look forward to. It’s great to have the high school kids give back the way they do.”

Hagerty feels that the student population helps drive the coaches and that both pro-grams are thriving.

“I haven’t seen the exact numbers in a few years, but I think we have between 85 and 90 percent of the high school student

body playing athletics and I know many of them play more than one sport,” Hagerty said. “In a school so small, the fact that we have so many kids wanting to play sports is certainly inspiring for the coaches in town.

“Regarding our youth numbers, in soccer at least, we have seen no decline whatsoever as the Colts Soccer Club continues to be the largest youth sports group in town, while the youth football has been able to have enough kids to maintain their program as well. The ability for soccer and football to coexist as well as they have here primarily has to do with the terrific student/athletes, but also the wonderful support each sport has received from both the youth programs and the community at large. For the most part, both youth groups have worked well together.”

At the end of the day, there’s plenty of glory to go around.

“We have such a great athletic depart-

ment, starting with Susan,” said Hartman.“For the two programs to coexist, I think

the coaches have a huge part in it,” Robbins said. “The boys support each other. (Boys’ soccer standout) Luke Pierce after the game on Saturday, gave (football all-star) Nick Proscia a big hug and congratulated him. It’s a rarity here. We’re fortunate.”

In addition to being fortunate, come Sat-urday night, Yarmouth might be uniquely triumphant as well.

‘Blueberries, Broadway & Brian,’ Time for Three, a ‘Wild Party’ and moreBy Scott Andrews

There’s an interesting mix of theater and music worth checking out this week in southern Maine. Perhaps the most interest-ing of all is a warmly humorous account of the life local theatrical director and producer Brian Allen. And it’s delivered by the man himself.

The Portland Symphony Orchestra has co-commissioned a new work especially tailored for its guest ensemble, Time For Three. Be among the first in the world to hear it on the Nov. 21 Classical Sunday concert.

The decadence of the Roaring Twenties is recalled this weekend on the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham campus with “The Wild Party,” an Off-Broadway musi-cal that’s being produced by the School of Music.

The Oratorio Chorale opens its 2010-2011 season — and the 25th anniversary season of music director Peter Frewen — with a pair of concerts in Bath on Saturday and Yarmouth on Sunday.

‘Blueberries, Broadway & Brian’Brian P. Allen, co-founder and artistic

director of Portland’s Good Theater, has loved the stage all his life. His first public performance was in the title role of “Son-ny Bunny” in a grade school production, and after college he became the business manager of Maine State Music Theatre.

He’s had many theatrical experiences since then, including a national tour of an off-Broadway show he co-created.

His latest stage incarnation is a very funny, very engaging biographical retro-spective that recounts his life and times, starting with the family blueberry business in Union up to the present. Along the way he’s met some interesting characters and had some fascinating experiences.

“Blueberries, Broadway & Brian” is divided roughly 50-50 between stand-up comedy and one-man play. It’s full of laughs and offers wonderful insights into characters such as the late Vickie Crandall, MSMT founder and longtime artistic director.

I saw it this past weekend and highly recommend the show to anyone interested in theater, especially its behind-the-scenes workings.

Good Theater presents “Blueberries, Broadway & Brian” through Nov. 21 at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress St. in Portland (top of Munjoy Hill) with a 7 p.m. performance Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m. per-formances Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. There’s also a 3 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Call Good Theater at 885-5883.

Portland Symphony OrchestraThree major modern works are slated

when the Portland Symphony Orchestra plays this Sunday, and one of them is brand new. The PSO has co-commissioned a genre-crossing composition written especially for its guest artists, a Philadel-phia-based trio that goes by the name of Time For Three.

All three of the works on this program integrate myriad styles that will result in a fascinating musical exploration.

Two of the pieces are quite well known — Paul Hindemith’s playful “Symphonic Metamorphosis,” which is based on themes by the Romantic composer Carl Maria von Weber, and Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story,” an extensive orchestral compilation from the famous 1957 Broadway musical. This landmark work incorporates popular

melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic styles, including swing, bop, cool jazz, Latin music, ballads and up-tempo jive.

“Travels in Time for Three” was written specifically for the talents of the trio and embraces many musical genres from jazz to country, Irish folk to funk, and gospel to classical. The trio sports an interesting combination of instruments: two violins plus double bass. They will join the PSO for the Maine premiere of “Travels in Time for Three,” composed by Chris Brubeck (son of jazz legend Dave Brubeck). Catch the Portland Symphony Orchestra Nov. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at Merrill Auditorium at Port-land City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

‘The Wild Party’Decadence rules in the University of

Southern Maine School of Music’s pro-duction of “The Wild Party,” a musical by Andrew Lippa, which has its Maine premiere this weekend on the Gorham campus. The 2000 off-Broadway musical, adapted from a poem, offers a tale of love and redemption, set during the Roaring Twenties.

Here’s the setup: Queenie, a vaudeville dancer, and Burrs, a stage clown, are a high-living couple whose relationship is marked by reckless behavior. When the two decide to throw a party to end all par-ties in their Manhattan apartment, they invite a host of characters that revel in the fashions, affectations and habits of the jazz era. After Burrs and Queenie purposely set out to make the other jealous, emotions erupt and lives are changed forever.

Andrew Lippa’s book, music and lyrics were inspired by Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 book-length poem of the same name. March’s book was deemed profane at the time and it fell into obscurity for 70 years until an artist, Art Spiegelman, found an original edition and published an illus-trated version in 1999.

Ed Reichert directs a cast of more than

20, plus a group of musicians. He advises that this show is unsuitable for children.

Three performances in Corthell Hall on USM’s Gorham campus are scheduled for this weekend only: Nov. 20-21 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 22 at 5 p.m. Call 780-5555.

Oratorio ChoraleThe Oratorio Chorale presents the first

half of its two-program season Nov. 20-21 with performances of two major sacred works: Maurice Durufle’s Requiem Mass and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata No. 80 — best known as “Ein feste Burg’ ist unser Gott.”

The concerts will mark the 25th season for music director Peter Frewen, who notes that although the two works were written about 200 years apart in two very different countries, they are linked by the fact that both composers were church or-ganists and both men looked back several centuries for inspiration.

Frewen points out that Durufle’s Requi-em was inspired by one sung by Gregorian monks in the Sixth Century.

“He took as his starting material the melodies of the various sections of the Requiem Mass,” explained Frewen. “With great technical skill and profound artistic imagination, he embedded these ancient modal melodies in a context that projects both vivid pictorial imagery and deeply

humane emotive surgings.”Likewise the Bach Cantata is based on a

16th-century hymn by Martin Luther that served as an anthem of the Reformation.

“Basing the entire cantata on Luther’s melody, Bach created a universe of sound in which all phrases, of however diverse a char-acter, orbit about, held in their spheres by the gravity of the central idea,” Frewen said.

Catch the Oratorio Chorale Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at United Church of Christ in Bath and Nov. 21 at 3 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Yarmouth. Call 725-1420.

“A lot of people, residents, say they don’t want big box stores in our town,” said CDC

and less of a shopping destination.“This is clearly a very important issue

for community members,” Tracy said.Board member Ralph Dean said he

supports the project, but the demoli-tion of the original Ben & Jerry’s store eliminates the “last quirky feel” of the Freeport village and makes it more of a planned campus.

“It looks more sterile,” Dean said. “This is the last of the weird Freeport and

Chairwoman Bonny Rodden. “We want to give the council and the town an op-portunity to make a statement about what they want.”

Community Development Director

Amanda Stearns said she was conferring with the town attorney to determine wheth-er a plan that has gone before the planning board for substantial review could still be limited by an ordinance amendment passed after the fact.

A Walmart expansion has not yet gone before the Planning Board, nor is it on a

future agenda. However, Devine said he hopes the plan can move forward quickly.

“This town has seen a fair amount of retail vacancy,” Devine said. “I think the last thing Falmouth is going to want to see is more vacancy.”

it’s never going to come back.”Town Planner Donna Larson said she

will work with the Freeport Historical Society to discuss a way to capture the memory of the building using photogra-phy or artistic documentation.

J.D. Schnackenberg of L.L. Bean said construction of the new store will begin before the existing store is demolished. He expects the store to open by June or July, 2011.

Amy Anderson can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or [email protected]

“We want to provide these services for people who might not otherwise (be able to) afford this service,” she said. “There is a very large population in a low income bracket due to the economy and this is a way to help them sterilize their pets.”

She said there are thousands of home-less and unwanted dogs and cats that could be treated in order to help solve the pet overpopulation problem. Many pets have not even been vaccinated due to the high cost, she said.

The spay/neuter services will range

from $60 for cats including vaccinations and between $110 and $150 for dogs de-pending on the size, she said. There are further reduced rates for feral cats and pit bulls which are more difficult to place and are more often returned to shelters than other breeds, Stone said.

“In Maine, the most overpopulated dog is the pit bull,” she said.

Community Spay-Neuter Clinic will be open Monday through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To schedule a pet steril-ization, call 865-0772 or visit communi-tyspayneuterclinic.com.

donate employee volunteers to help out, but this year, Preble Street’s volunteers have been responsible for all three meals served in the soup kitchen. In past years, only breakfast fell to Preble Street to provide.

While the food drive helps feed people through the holi-days, McKean said there is a year-round need for food and cash donations as well as volunteers.

“Come January, March and July, we will still need the same amount of food and volunteers,” she said.

During the past two years, Preble Street has seen a 30 percent increase in need for its services, McKean said. The soup kitchen and food pantry aren’t serving only homeless people, she said, as there has been an increase in recent years of working people who cannot afford to feed their families.

“Anybody that walks through our doors and says they need help, we offer them assistance,” McKean said.

The soup kitchen will be open on Thanksgiving but the food pantry will switch days that week to Tuesday, she said.

“Big Hits Y100.9” Morning show host Chuck Igo said the food drive began nearly 20 years ago with radio station WMGX and was formerly called “Stuff the Mayflower,” though Preble Street has always been the beneficiary. He said Preble Street has expanded to offer many more services and said “it’s quite an undertaking on their part.”

Igo calls the food drive “a labor of love” but said “it’s a

lot of fun.” More than a dozen local schools in Cape Eliza-beth, Portland, South Portland and Scarborough participate in the food drive and several schools allow the children to help carry donations to the bus so they can see the increas-ing amount of food, Igo said.

In past years, Cape Elizabeth Middle School has donated so much food, it took nearly 30 minutes to load all of it on the bus, he said, adding that Longfellow Elementary School in Portland had boxes stacked along the length of an entire hallway three to four boxes high. By the time all the donated food is picked up from the schools, the bus is often already 3/4 full.

“Every little bit does help,” Igo said. “There is no effort that is too small.”

There are also local businesses that sign up to donate, he said. Some businesses donate food and some participate in a “virtual food drive” by making online donations directly to Preble Street through a link on the station’s website, www.y1009.com. Cash donations are used to purchase perishable items such as milk.

There is also the opportunity for individuals to donate food. There will be a bus collecting food donations for Preble Street parked at Hannaford in Back Cove Nov. 23 from 7 to 10 a.m. and near the Maine Mall from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The bus will return to Back Cove Nov. 24 from 7 a.m. to noon. Everything collected will be delivered to Preble Street in time for Thanksgiving.

Other corporate sponsors of the food drive include Wright Express, Falmouth Physical Therapy, Maine Credit

Unions Campaign for Ending Hunger, Hannaford, Market-Fresh Produce and Custom Coach and Limousine.

for Sound Choices interfered with “the decision-making just because they think there is something wrong with a proposal.” He called the group “the bane of our local government.”

Although the article was published only in a print ver-sion available at the school, members of the citizens group obtained a copy and have called upon the school to allow them the opportunity to respond.

Sound Choices co-founder and former Town Councilor Dave Libby questioned Larson’s sources. He suggested the paper should included a disclaimer noting that the author’s mother, Analiese Larson, is a School Board member.

“This article had more information than I even know about,” Libby said.

Analiese Larson’s friendship with Councilor Cathy Breen, which was confirmed by Breen, was also a target of the group. Breen has supported maintaining town owner-ship of the buildings.

In an e-mail to Principal Gregg Palmer, Sound Choices co-founder Lisa Preney said “it is customary … for Op Ed authors to list their affiliations precisely so that readers who do not know them personally will have some context for their influences.”

She continued, “I don’t remember the last time my teenager used the word ‘bane,’ or cared about a particular counselor (sic) that his mother’s best friend had publicly sliced and diced with similar words as contained in this ar-ticle you believe is completely original, unbiased thought.”

Libby said the adviser for the student newspaper initially indicated the group could write a response, but that offer was rescinded.

Palmer said he thought the whole incident was “much ado about nothing.”

“The only limitations are good taste,” he said of the paper. “The kids can write about the things they want to write about.”

Palmer said the edition of The Mast in question also contained articles about international issues and sports, movie reviews, and even a spoof page with an article about Palmer being a member of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang.

Libby said he understood why the school decided not to allow a rebuttal.

“It’s a student paper,” Libby said. “To publish a rebuttal that, frankly, might be a little harsh, might stifle students’ writing in the future.”

Neither Analiese nor Lee Larson responded to requests for comment, and representatives from the school said the family did not want to draw any more attention to the issue.

wireless Internet to the island. In 2007, he became the island’s facilities manager.

Dyer’s last day on the job is Dec. 10, and he will spend the rest of the year training for his next position.

Board of Selectman Chairman David Hill said Seaver, while retired from the admin-istrative role, is staying on to assist in the transition on a per diem basis. Seaver re-placed Ron Grenier to become Chebeague’s second town administrator in April 2008, having previously served that role in North Yarmouth for 26 years.

Hill said Dyer’s island experience was a key factor in his hiring. He noted that Dyer has a strong background in marine infra-structure, planning and finance.

“He’s a young man and full of energy, and we appreciate that and look forward to working with him,” Hill said.

maintain a local source of lumber; the hous-ing section suggests relaxing the accessory apartment standards so larger houses could include a unit to lower heating costs; and planning for future public transit discusses ways to reduce vehicle reliance.

The Planning Board has been working to update the new Comprehensive Plan since 2007. Larson said the board collected data from a survey sent to community boards, committees, farmers, professionals and residents to gather information about what topics were important and what issues

The town worked with the Maine Munic-ipal Association in the hiring process. Hill said that of about 65 applicants, 25 resumes were forwarded to the Board of Selectmen, which then narrowed the pool down to five people to be interviewed in person.

Dyer, who will be paid a salary of $50,000, plans to move onto Chebeague.

“I’ll basically be moving from one island to the next in a weekend, weather permit-ting,” he said.

Dyer has spent much of his life near the water, having grown up in the Lakes Region and having done waterfront planning work in California, where he attended graduate school and earned his master’s degree in urban and regional planning.

Dyer said the position drew his interest because it will allow him to continue his administrative experience on the waterfront.

“The island environment is great,” he said. “(This is) the chance for me to work within the same type of work I’d been do-

ing, but it’s a little bit of a step up.”“We’re quite excited about it,” Hill said

of Dyer’s hiring. “I think it’s going to be good.”

needed to be addressed. Based on the information, the board developed recom-mendations and returned to the boards and committees, businesses and residents to verify their work.

“We received a lot of information from groups like the Housing Trust and Histori-cal Society and Shellfish Commission,” she said. “Using that information we were able to make changes and draft ideas and recom-mendations.”

The draft Comprehensive Plan includes a document entitled Freeport Data, Facts, Trends, and Maps that can further provide information in the development of goals or policies.

Although the adoption of the 2010 Com-prehensive Plan has been tabled for a few months, the Town Council is expected to receive the draft Comprehensive Plan at its next meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 7.

Cardiac programfrom page 1

“Firefighters are like professional athletes, they go from zero to as fast as possible, they endure a lot of stress and have to perform in adverse conditions. The problem is no one gives them health and medical advice like athletes,” Gerber said. “I want these men and women to be in the best shape they can be in order to help people in need, their fellow firefight-ers and themselves.”

The Microvolt T-Wave Alternans Test the departments are using amplifies variations that are not usually visible in the more

traditional electrocardiogram tests. The measurement allows the doctor to evaluate electrical variations that are associated with abnormal heartbeats that could have missed otherwise.

Freeport Fire Chief Darryl Fournier met Gerber through the Rotary Club. They have been working together on this project for about six months.

Fournier said it was important to him to participate in the study and encouraged men and women of all shapes and sizes on the fire department to participate.

“It has been found that there is a high rate of heart attacks for fire service person-nel across the country,” Fournier said. “It is critically important for us to find ways to

correct the problem and take action. This testing program will help us do just that.”

Fournier, president of the New England Firefighters Association, said of the six career firefighters and 65 volunteers, nine will participate in the program.

Elizabeth Reeves, a per diem medic who recently finished the Firefighter I program in Freeport, was one of the nine to participate in the non-invasive diagnostic heart test. Reeves, a Brunswick resident and former New York City medic, said she is interested in medicine and has treated firefighters in the past.

“These are often big guys who like their steak and when the fire bell rings, that’s how they get their exercise, in a big burst

of energy,” she said. “Treating firefighters is becoming a part of our culture and it’s interesting to be a part of the process.”

Reeves’ heart rate, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels were monitored during a rest period, while walking rapidly on the treadmill and after the test.

By gathering information on each pa-tient’s lean muscle and fat content, fitness levels and the results of the stress tests, Gerber is trying to help determine an indi-vidual’s propensity to sudden heart attacks. He tests the heart’s electrical activity, the patients’ oxygen levels and their blood to determine who is more susceptible to sud-den heart failure.

Based on the testing, Gerber said Reeves’ potential for sudden death was low.

“Insulin resistance and obesity also fac-tor into sudden death and heart failure,” he said. “If we know what is going on earlier, we can attack the problems at an early stage.”

Gerber said after the patients participate in the initial tests, lab results will determine how to help each patient individually. The volunteers will meet again at three months, six months and one year.

“In addition to early detection, we want to teach people how to take better care of themselves,” he said. “We are working on both goals.”
