‘Food for

Fines’

By Randy BillingsSOUTH PORTLAND —

It happens to even well-behaved library users.

You check out a book and forget to return it by the due date. You eventually return the book, through the drop slot by the door.

Then, you avoid the librar-ian, because of the shame that comes with paying the dreaded late fee.

But through most of De-cember, the South Portland Public Library will erase that shame and help those in need through a program called “Food for Fines.”

From Dec. 1-19, the

Troubled school preps for new windowsBy Emily Parkhurst

SCARBOROUGH — Over the Thanksgiving weekend, four classrooms in the Wentworth Intermediate School will have windows removed and boarded over in anticipation of replace-ment scheduled during the win-ter holiday break.

The plan, according to Facili-ties Director Todd Jepson, is to remove as many windows as possible before the replacement windows arrive, because the removal process and air-quality testing takes four days. During those days, students and teach-ers cannot be in the rooms.

Twenty-eight windows in the Wentworth building are being replaced after testing this sum-mer found asbestos in the glaz-ing. Since then, the windows have been kept closed, which has caused heat and air-quality issues in the classrooms. In an effort to get fresh air into the classrooms, the School Depart-ment is replacing one window in each room.

Because of their odd size, the windows must be custom built.

“We have all the window frames and solid panes of glass

Resolve on ‘smart’ meters eludes councilBy Randy Billings

SOUTH PORTLAND — In what may be a preview of next week’s public hearing in Scarborough, more than 20 people attended a City Council workshop on Monday to protest the installation of “smart” elec-tric meters in the city.

Cape Elizabeth, S. Portland farms offer winter harvestBy Amy Anderson

CAPE ELIZABETH — Three local farms will combine their bounty to offer customers more than the usual root vegetables for a winter community-sup-ported agriculture program.

Jordan’s, Alewives and Green

The workshop was intended to provide more information about the meters so councilors could consider adopting a reso-lution, similar to those passed in Scarborough and Cape Eliza-beth, calling for a 90-morato-rium on the project.

Much of the discussion was

taken up by a presentation by Central Maine Power Co. and Dr. Linda Erdreich of Exponent, a consulting firm hired by the utility.

But most of the people in at-tendance came prepared to make lengthy and detailed comments about their concerns about the

new meters, including poten-tial health effects and the lack of choice to participate in the program.

Mayor Tom Coward struggled to maintain order in the meeting. On several occasions, Coward cut off speakers who had gone past their allotted two-minute

comment period and threatened to eject those who spoke out of turn.

“I will not allow this to de-volve into chaos,” he said.

Davis said the forgiveness program, which was suggested by circulation librarian Susan

“We have a lot to offer this winter,” she said. “It’s more than just beets.”

The winter share program is designed to be a pay-as-you-go

or buy-as-needed market. Sign-up will continue over the next few weeks and the local veg-etables, fish, dairy products and meats will be available every two weeks in Cape Elizabeth or

Termed out: Boudreau ends 18 years on South Portland councilBy Randy Billings

SOUTH PORTLAND — Linda Boudreau darted across a city parking lot through the icy rain late Monday afternoon.

But this time, she wasn’t headed to the City Council workshop at the Communi-ty Center or a public hearing at City Hall.

She was simply grabbing a small cup of decaffeinated coffee and then heading home.

That’s because Boudreau, a six-term councilor, ended her service on the City Council last week, closing – or at least pausing – her nearly 30 years of service to the city.

“It’s a little bit weird,” Boudreau, 60, said during an interview at Cambridge Coffee Bar & Bakehouse on Broadway. “Last time, I knew I would be back.”

Boudreau was referring to the first time she was termed out on the council in 1999.

South Portland councilors may serve only three consecutive three-year terms

Randy Billings / The FoRecasTeRLinda Boudreau, whose career in public service

has spanned nearly 30 years, has ended her sixth term on the South Portland City Council.

before taking at least a year off.Boudreau was first elected to the Dis-

trict 1 council seat in 1990 and termed out in 1999. She was re-elected to the council in 2001, only this time to the at-large seat that she will officially hold until the Dec. 6 inauguration.

But Boudreau said she does not exactly see an encore campaign in her future.

“This time, it’s probably over,” she said.

Boudreau, who has served on the Cumberland County Budget Advisory Committee for the last six years, also ran unsuccessfully as a Republican chal-lenger to then-incumbent state Sen. Lynn Bromley in 1992.

“The campaign was brutal and some-thing I would never do again,” said Bou-dreau, who has also been a registered Democrat, but is currently unenrolled.

Boudreau’s public service began in

1981 when she was elected to the School Board. She served two, three-year terms before being appointed to a term on the Planning Board.

Prior to her election to the School Board, Boudreau had been involved in local parent teacher associations. But during her first term, the board embarked on a controversial initiative of school closings.

Boudreau, who supported the closures despite vocal public opposition, was no

longer welcome at PTA meetings.“That was the first time I ever got a

note that said, ‘Don’t come to our next PTA meeting,’” she said.

During her service on the council, Boudreau has developed a reputation for being an insightful and at times tough-minded individual, often at odds with special-interest groups that fill meeting halls.

Of the countless decisions that were made during her tenure, Boudreau could only think of two that, in hindsight, she considers mistakes: the decision to allow a cell phone tower on Meeting House Hill and the purchase of the former Maine Army National Guard Armory. She op-posed both.

While the tower is now a permanent fixture on the hill, Boudreau hopes there is still time to salvage the Armory, which is now being considered for a film studio.

Boudreau said one of the highlights of her career was the city’s purchase of Bug Light Park when Jeffrey Jordan was city manager. And she said she was constantly amazed at issues that captured the pub-lic’s interest, such as urban chickens and beekeeping.

“Many issues are emotionally charged,

Energy alliance spreads word about home improvement rebatesBy Alex Lear

YARMOUTH — David Craig is plan-ning to put nearly $5,000 into his 25 Madison Drive home to improve its heat-ing efficiency, and he’s looking forward to getting a chunk of that back through energy rebates.

He’ll do it with help from the Maine Green Energy Alliance, a statewide non-profit organization funded by Efficiency Maine and the U.S. Department of Ener-gy, which is running a community educa-tion and outreach project in eight Maine communities through August 2011.

Those communities include Yarmouth, Cumberland, Topsham and Scarborough, but MGEA also wants to assist people in other areas who want to significantly decrease their energy usage, said Jed Rathband, who handles marketing and communications for MGEA.

“We would be able to help them figure out how to get (these improvements) done,” Rathband said.

The Home Energy Savings Program works in conjunction with the Property Assessed Clean Energy program, a $20 million revolving loan fund that Efficien-cy Maine also administers to help Maine homeowners pay for energy upgrades.

The loan fund is available at low interest rates to homeowners in PACE communities. By adopting a PACE or-dinance, as Cumberland and Harpswell have recently done, residents of those communities can access the loan funds.

In the rebate program, homeowners who achieve an energy use savings of

25 percent can receive a rebate for 30 percent of the project, up to $1,500. A homeowner who reaches an energy sav-ings of 50 percent can receive a rebate for 50 percent of the project, up to $3,000, according to MGEA Executive Director Seth Murray. The money comes from federal dollars administered by Efficiency Maine.

Energy assessments must be completed by nationally certified energy advisers. MGEA helps homeowners connect with local companies.

“Depending on how much your house needs to reach 50 percent, $3,000 could potentially represent a large portion of that amount,” Rathband said. “Of course, if you have a leaky 1700s house that needs all kinds of stuff, three grand is going to represent a smaller percentage of that.”

Landlords are also eligible for re-bates for up to four units per building. A four-unit building could earn $6,000 by achieving a 25 percent savings if the project cost totals $20,000.

The energy adviser will estimate home energy savings. Homeowners must re-serve their cash rebate before starting work, and submit an incentive applica-tion form to Efficiency Maine. Once a contractor has made the improvements, the energy adviser returns to inspect them and perform a blower door test to ensure

that the improvements will reap the ex-pected energy savings.

When the test is completed, the home-owner and adviser will submit a project completion form to Efficiency Maine, along with a final contractor invoice that shows the homeowner has paid in full. Homeowners should receive their rebates about a month later.

Homeowners can also receive a federal tax credit on their April 2011 taxes. That credit covers 30 percent of materials used in the improvements, up to $1,500. While the credits do not require an audit, materials must be installed by Dec. 31 to qualify.

Craig’s energy assessment on his 1986 home has been done, and he said that the weatherization work recommended

Cape cafe hosts benefit for Kid’s First Center

CAPE ELIZABETH — The Local Buzz will hold a benefit on Monday, Dec. 6, to support Kid’s First Center in Portland.

Ten percent of the proceeds between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. and 100 percent of tips will benefit the organization that supports children whose parents are going through a separation or divorce.

Cape arboretum project gets $4K grant

CAPE ELIZABETH — With the help of a nearly $4,000 grant from Project Canopy, the arboretum project will pur-chase 11 trees of eight different species for Fort Williams Park.

The grant from the state program sup-ports long-term community forestry pro-grams and will be matched by more than $17,000 in maintenance, mulch, supplies, surveying, excavation, volunteer labor and administration costs.

The arboretum project is a project of the Fort Williams Charitable Foundation and was authorized by the Town Coun-cil in 2008 at the request of the private Arboretum at Fort Williams committee. The goal is to establish 15 landscapes around the park.

Scarborough forum to discuss school chief

SCARBOROUGH — The School Board is inviting residents to participate in a focus group to discuss attributes, experiences and goals sought in a new superintendent of schools.

The group will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the high school library and will be facilitated by New England School Development Council search consultant Gary Baker. The forum is ex-pected to last approximately 90 minutes.

Anyone interested in participating should contact Debbie Rideout at 730-4102 to register. Those unable to attend can send written comments to [email protected].

SOUTH PORTLAND — The Mill Creek tree lighting and holiday festival will take place on Friday, Dec. 3, from 4:30-7 p.m.

The tree lighting will take place at 6 p.m. at Mill Creek Park. Hot cider, pop corn and hot dogs will be available throughout the evening.

Other events include horse-drawn car-riage rides from 4:30-7 p.m., photos with Santa Claus at City Hall from 5-6:30 p.m., and Christmas carols by high school and middle school chorus students

through that audit would begin Nov. 22 and run 2 1/2 days. The work should improve his home’s efficiency by more than 25 percent.

Craig, who serves on the Yarmouth Energy Savers committee, said he ex-pects to receive a $1,500 rebate, plus $1,000 for signing up before Aug. 31 and a $700 federal tax credit. This $3,200 total offsets two-thirds of the $4,800 he anticipates paying in improvement costs.

He currently pays almost $2,000 year in heating oil, and expects to save about $650 after the improvements.

The average Maine household spends nearly $3,400 on energy annually, and improvements that decrease energy bills by 30 percent would save the average Maine resident more than $1,000 a year, according to MGEA. Common improve-ments to home energy efficiency include improving insulation, upgrading heating systems, sealing air leaks, switching lighting, installing solar water heating and replacing windows.

Rathband said more than 40 homes in Cumberland and Yarmouth are in the process of being assessed or upgraded.

“We’re keeping money local, adding value to properties, making ... relatively cheap investments that are partially reim-bursed, and ... your house is going to be more comfortable,” Rathband said.

Cumberland County to celebrate 250 yearsBy Heather Gunther

PORTLAND — The 250th anniversary of the creation of Cumberland and Lincoln counties will be the cause for celebration on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at the Cumberland County Courthouse.

The event, which is free and open to the public, begins at noon in the courthouse rotunda.

Period re-enactments will entertain his-tory buffs, including a traditional proces-sion led by Lincoln County Sheriff Todd Brackett in period garb.

Proclamations from the governor and


other elected officials will be read, includ-ing a special proclamation read by “Royal Gov. Pownall.”

The celebration will also include the unveiling of newly restored historical docu-ments.

One of the documents is a 25-square-foot framed parchment map of Cumberland County dating back to 1857. Additionally, a copy of the 9-square-foot original proc-

Cape Environmental Club plans compost projectBy Amy Anderson

CAPE ELIZABETH — The Environ-mental Club received a $1,000 grant from the Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation to create a composting and recycling project at the high school.

Susan Guerrette, the Environmental Club advisor and science teacher, said the students tried a composting project last year, but the materials were brought off school property and the idea was too far-reaching to sustain.

Now, the plan is to reel it back in and start small, Guerrette said.

The club wants to build two compost, recycling and trash centers in the cafete-ria that will resemble the ones at Whole

Foods, Guerrette said. The students then need permission to build compost bins on school property and the compost has to be rotated and maintained on a regular basis.

“The project is in the developmental stages, but I am confident the funding will come together and students will do the work it takes to succeed,” she said.

Starting with the compost and recy-cling centers in the cafeteria, everything needs to be labeled clearly so items are placed in the correct bins, she said.

Then, when the compost bins are

placed on school property, students will be able to more easily maintain the ma-terials.

“Eventually we want all the schools to compost,” she said. “But for now, we will

Perry B. Newman

What I learned from the electionElection Day has come and gone and, for those of us

whose candidates did not prevail, we can either lick our wounds or look toward the future with optimism.

Losing an election produces an acute pain that in time subsides into a dull ache. It hurts, but you learn to cope. You live to fight another day and, if you fought the good fight, you take away from the experience a sense of what is good and what is important. You come away with some portion of your ideals and self-respect intact.

Everyone says this was an election of mandates and messages. Indeed, given the ubiquity of social networks and other online vehicles, it was much easier to gauge the mood of fellow voters.

Because of the echo chamber created by inces-sant polling, cable news, the blogosphere, and viral and social media, what was said, seen and heard seems to have cut deeper than in the past. This time around we witnessed unpleasant things that will likely stay with us. But what was good will also endure.

Here, then, is what I learned from the election.• Mark Twain was right: The great humorist noted that

a lie gets half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. In other words, by the time a myth is dispelled, the damage is done. And so it was with the disinformation campaign(s) against Eliot Cutler.

Cutler was forced to combat these slurs just as he was making measurable headway with undecided voters. The negative campaigns against him cost him time and may have delayed his surge in the polls just enough to cause him to come up short.

• Dave Barry was right, too: Cutler’s campaign may have been wounded by the negative onslaught, but the damage to those who circulated the offending mailers and “push polls” will be more lasting, which leads me to a quote from another great American humorist, Dave Barry: “Democrats seem to be nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery.”

It cannot be good for the Maine Democratic Party to have countenanced the trashing of another candidate and then to have hidden behind the artifice of “unaffiliated” organizations that orchestrated the effort.

I haven’t encountered too many Democrats who are cur-

rently inclined to break out their checkbooks. • People aren’t just angry, they’re mean: I can under-

stand a frustrated taxpayer who feels that incumbents have had enough of an opportunity to improve the economy. I can understand expressing that frustration by voting out the old and ushering in the new, though the new may be untested and inexperienced.

I can’t, however, accept the visceral and grotesque anger that some voters feel towards other voters. Savage com-mentary towards candidates may be ugly if not unexpected, but vicious attacks against those who have the temerity simply to support another candidate have no place in public discourse.

No candidate is entitled to an office, or even a clear path to office, simply because he or she has put in the time and paid his dues. Dedication and commitment are surely factors to be considered, but our electoral system, like our economy, depends upon and in fact thrives upon the influx of new ideas and new energy.

The last time I checked, we have elections in this coun-try, not coronations.

I was disappointed to see so many descend into the abyss of anger and vitriol. As a recent president and formidable campaigner once said, “We can do better.”

• Our best days are ahead of us: You might think, given the foregoing, that this election has left me disillusioned and bereft of hope. Quite the contrary. During the course of the campaign, we had the opportunity to meet the candidates. We poked them, prodded them and tried them on for size. We made our choices and we will live with the outcome. Ours is a resilient system, and Maine is a resilient state.

But resilience depends upon enthusiastic, energetic, com-mitted and, yes, idealistic people willing to work, sacrifice and believe in something larger than themselves.

In Maine, our future depends upon a commitment not only to building a just society, but to fostering a culture that rewards innovation and allows risk takers an honest reward.

Ours is a nation where ideas and ideals still matter. Few have prospered by betting against the people of the United States. Nor should anyone doubt the energy and will of the people of Maine.

I’m convinced our best days lie ahead of us, and I’m looking forward to the journey.

Higgins Beach is everyone’s resource

Higgins Beach is a public beach, parts owned (and taxpayer funded) by the town and the state, and the roads to Higgins Beach are public.

Speed tables needed in Cape Elizabeth?

In a bizarre and almost incomprehensible ac-cident, a 24-year-old man, driving with a suspended license, took a right turn off Sawyer Road into our driveway, then veered to the right, speeding across

our front lawn and crashing his vehicle into our house.

My wife and I were shocked

to learn that driving with a suspended license has been “decriminalized.” Although summonses were issued for that offense and for “failure to control his vehicle,” how is the law to be enforced if there are no stern penalties?

We were also shocked to discover that, according to current procedures, the circumstances did not result in the vehicle being impounded and searched, nor was the culprit given breathalyzer or drug tests.

Cape Elizabeth has not effectively enforced the 25-mph speed limit on our part of the road, and traffic-calming measures such as homemade signs have not worked.

We suggest putting in speed tables near the inter-section with Stillman Street.

Edgar Allen Beem

The goal should be consensusEdgar Allen Beem once more regales us with his divisive

thoughts on the tea party and the “Evil Empire” of the Republican Party. I have a suggestion: perhaps we can all start having intelligent, meaningful discussions to solve the current economic mess. Most of the anger by the tea party was directed at Congress, not President Obama. It’s true that the Congress along with George Bush spent money like drunken sailors. The sad thing is that America looked to the new president for change. President Obama told us that he would change the way Washington has been operat-ing. That hasn’t happened.

Health care is an example of what went wrong. Instead of meeting openly with representatives from the insurance, pharmaceutical and health-care provider industries in July 2009, President Obama invited 100 doctors to the White House for a photo op. It wasn’t until February 2010 that he

NIMBY, the way life should be

Beem misplaces the blameEdgar Allen Beem’s column, or should I say, “tirade”

(“Mainers immune to tea party hysteria”), showcases his own, as-well-as the rest of the extreme left’s, hysteria over the results of both the national mid-term elections, as well as Maine’s gubernatorial and legislative elections – results that were historically bad for his lefties.

He blamed the previous administration, corporate Amer-ica, the Supreme Court, the tea party movement – in fact everyone but where the blame belongs: President Obama and his cronies, Pelosi and Reid. The well-known reasons for the election results were directly related to Obama’s two years in office: ever-soaring and scary deficits, 15 percent combined unemployment and under-employment despite a $1 billion “stimulus,” and a health-care bill that most Americans just don’t want.

parking lot and the beach may be too hazardous for the elderly or small children during the winter. And the park-ing lot was preserved to insure access to a public beach as population growth demands more, not less, parking. Sec-ond, records clearly show a clean safety and accident report in relation to on-street parking – so why are proponents of the ban saying otherwise? Third, there are always a few bad apples, in every group. But to turn a few possible issues into a parking issue, is simply illogical and warrants skepticism.

Many beach-goers invest time in protecting their beach, and possibly more so than some pro-ponents of the park-ing ban. The surfing community moni-tors water quality

and organizes beach clean-ups – and just as a beach walker, fisherman, dog walker, kayaker, Frisbee player, kite flier, or sunbather, they make up the fabric of a community who all have an equal right of access and historical investment in this public resource. Let’s not allow proponents of a park-ing ban to turn our attention away from what really matters.

Ines RogachevskySouth Portland

Economic development officials, chamber-of-com-merce types and conservative politicians are forever complaining about Maine’s anti-business climate.

Does it ever occur to them that Maine makes development difficult through land use regulations, zoning ordinances and environmental impact laws because that’s the way we want it? When you come right down to it, most Mainers are pretty much anti-development.

In the best of all possible worlds, no un-developed land should ever be developed. That’s why Maine resi-dents support Lands for Maine’s Future bonds. The best way to keep land undeveloped is to buy it. But even when the land doesn’t belong to them, most Mainers feel they should have a say in what happens on it.

We don’t want the massive Plum Creek development around Moosehead Lake. We don’t want wind turbines erected atop every mountain. We don’t want our rivers and streams dammed up. We don’t want big-box retail stores malling our towns. And we sure as hell don’t want anyone building a house next to ours. That’s the very definition of NIMBYism – not in my backyard.

Here in fair Yarmouth, neighbors not long ago suc-cessfully fought off a proposed Walgreen’s pharmacy on Route 1. Now a group of homeowners seem to have forestalled a major new subdivision on one the few remaining parcels of undeveloped land in town.

This fall, Michael Albert of Albert Realty and Wil-liam T. Conway of Sebago Technics proposed build-ing a 48-house subdivision on 58 acres of woodlands along Hillside Street, land that had been conveyed by Emily Dickinson to Albert and Peter Benard of

Ledgewood Construction. Neighbors and abutters in the Applewood subdivision (which presumably was once undeveloped land itself) rose up to complain about traffic, pedestrian safety, inadequate buffers and setbacks, and loss of open space and wildlife habitat.

The truth, of course, is that they just didn’t want a bunch of new homes next to theirs. As I said, that’s the Maine way. Heck, local folk even objected a few years ago when Dickinson built her own home on Hillside Street. Woods should remain woods, fields fields.

Nearly 60 neighbors signed a petition raising objections to the proposed subdivision, to be called McKearney Village. The major complaint seemed to be that the developers proposed connecting their development to Applewood by extending a dead end street through to Hillside. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, cul-de-sac residential developments were all the rage nationally. These days, planners and develop-ers favor subdivisions that are part of the fabric of the community rather than enclaves.

On Nov. 1, the Applewood protesters, the suburban burgher counterparts of EarthFirst! wind-farm oppo-nents, won a temporary victory when the developers withdrew the concept plan for McKearney Village. Town Planner Vanessa Farr tells me, however, that in all likelihood the subdivision plan will eventually be resubmitted, albeit at about half the size and without the through street.

Am I anti-development? I’m a Maine native; you bet I am. I have woods beside and behind my house. I’d rather not see a McKearney Village or an Apple-wood constructed there. But they are not my woods, so assuming a subdivision is a permitted use, I’d have to think long and hard about objecting to one.

After all, I live in a 1950s subdivision of quarter-acre lots that was once pasture and woods. I’m sure someone at the time thought it was too bad to develop Newell Road, but back then people tended to keep their opinions to themselves.

sat down with senators for a summit. Congress should have created a bipartisan committee to look at all the possible ways to cut the cost of health care. Instead, both parties fell victim to the same old partisan politics, and nothing was accomplished. What came out of this was a health-care bill that’s a huge pile of paper, most of which Congress

didn’t read before it was passed.I want smaller government and you want bigger govern-

ment. We should be able to come to some consensus to save this economy.

Frances ‘Louise’ Reynolds Welch, 91: Quiet optimism inspired familySOUTH PORTLAND — Frances

“Louise” Reynolds Welch, 91, died Nov. 18 after a long illness while surrounded by her loving family.

On May 13, 1919, she was born in South Portland, the daughter of Charles Edward and Bertha Viola Arey Reynolds and attended local schools, graduating from South Portland High School in 1937.

During World War II, she worked as a bookkeeping machine operator at Maine Steel, Inc. The company gave her a “Victory Bike” to travel to and from work, which she proudly kept the rest of her life.

Later on she worked as a secretary at the Harris Oil Company before becoming the personal secretary to the manager at the Automobile Mutual Insurance Com-pany in Portland.

On April 17, 1950, she married John Paul Welch and was happily married for 60 years.

A longtime homemaker, she enjoyed time with her family, her daily 3-1/2 mile walk with her beloved lhasa apso, “Tippy,” and dining at the Clambake Restaurant in Scarborough.

An avid flower gardener, she espe-cially enjoyed her favorite flower, the mayflower. Her other hobbies included birding, reading and writing under a pen name, “Wildwood.”

She was courageous, strong and always

filled with a quiet optimism, even in the worst of times. Her favorite expression was, “keep your attitude in the altitude.”

She was predeceased by her two broth-ers, Charles and John, and three sisters, Irene, Thelma and Bertha.

Surviving are her beloved and devoted husband of 60 years, John Paul Welch; two children, son Gregory P. Welch and wife Robin Welch of South Portland, and daughter Lynn L. Welch of Hilton Head Island, S.C.; two nephews, Charles Reynolds and wife Dottie Reynolds of Middleton, N.H., and Roy Gustafson, and a niece, Cheryl Gustafson of Wal-pole, Mass.; and her very special life-long friend, Margaret Hogan of South Portland.

There will be a private family service. Interment will be in Mount Pleasant

Cemetery.The family wishes to extend a special

thank you to the hard-working staff at Maine Medical Center, Intermed, Sea Side Healthcare, Cardiovascular Con-sultants of Maine, Home Health Visiting Nurses and Hospice of Southern Maine for their wonderful care and compassion.

Also, many thanks are given to her good friend and hairdresser, Janice Parvin.

Memorial contributions can be made to the World Wildlife Fund online at worldwildlife.org.

Fall sports season was simply awesome

Michael’s Top Five Fall Sports Stories:

5) Cross countryexcellence continues

The Scarborough boys’ team won another Class A title, Red Storm standout Nick Morris was an individual state champion and Cape Elizabeth’s powerhouse girls dominated all season be-fore finishing runner-up at the state meet. Cape Elizabeth’s boys, Scarborough’s girls and both South Portland teams qualified for the state meet and countless individuals impressed from start to finish.

4) South Portland boys’ soccer enjoys best season

in agesThe South Portland boys’ soc-

cer team had its best campaign in a generation this fall. The Red Riots posted 10 regular season wins and were competi-tive throughout as Bryan Hoy earned league Coach of the Year honors. They got contributions from the whole lineup and were very enjoyable to watch. Even though the season ended with a disappointing playoff loss at Gorham, the year has to be con-sidered an unqualified success and with several key returners coming back in 2011, South Portland should be right back in

Becca Roberts and her South Portland field hockey teammates enjoyed a season to remember in 2010.

FIle PhotosThe Scarborough girls’ soccer team had plenty to get excited about in 2010. The Red Storm went undefeated and won the Class A championship for the first time.

Cross countryNick Morris, Scarborough, Class A

The fall 2010 sports season was so good, we didn’t want it to end.

For the most part, the weather was kind and the action on the field, pitch, trails, courts and courses was nothing short of superlative.

Football featured drama ga-lore from start to finish, as all three local teams reached the playoffs for the first time in eight years.

On the pitch, excellence was once again the theme as Scar-borough’s girls were simply per-fect en route to a long-awaited championship.

All three field hockey teams made the playoffs.

Cross country produced more hardware.

Golf featured a pair of teams qualifying for states and a lo-cal volleyball team made the playoffs.

Before we bundle up for the long, cold winter ahead, here’s a look back at the highlights from the autumn that was.

the hunt.

3) South Portland field hockey returns to

prominenceSouth Portland’s field hockey

team couldn’t even win a game in 2007 and 2008 and when this year’s squad began 0-4, playoff hopes were discounted by all but those on the team. A shock-ing victory at Cheverus helped turn things around and the Red Riots later upset defending state champion Scarborough, propelling themselves into the postseason mix. South Portland went on to post its first winning record since 2003 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Even though the Red Ri-ots lost to Thornton Academy in the quarterfinals, they re-estab-lished the program as a force to

be reckoned with and suggested that even great accomplishments are around the corner.

2) Scarborough football wakes up the echoes

After winning the 2002 Class B football state title, Scarborough moved up to Class A and struggled for several years. After a 1-7 campaign last season, the Red Storm hired Lance Johnson as coach and he paid immediate dividends. Scarborough reversed last year’s mark, made the Class A playoffs for the first time, then drubbed perennial contender Biddeford in the quarterfinals. The Red Storm gave top-ranked Cheverus fits in the semifinals before bow-ing out at 8-2, but their tenacity,

skill and passion impressed the high school football world. Scarborough has returned to contender’s status and the program is now primed for even more greatness in the years to come.

1) Scarborough girls’ soccer proves unstoppable

After three years of first round playoff disappointments, the 2010 Scarborough

girls’ soccer team knew it would be very good, but also that it would be measured on how it did in the playoffs. In the end, the Red Storm answered all the doubters with a season for the ages. Not only did Scarborough go 14-0 in the regular sea-son, but it did so without surrendering a single goal, a seemingly mindboggling feat. This time around, the postseason was kind as Scarborough avenged past heartaches with a win over Cape Eliza-beth, survived Cheverus (which produced the only opponents’ goal of the season,

albeit on a penalty kick), then ousted defending regional champion Thornton Academy to win the Western A crown. The state game wasn’t even close as the Red Storm took command early and went

on to, naturally, another shutout victory, 3-0. For the first time, Scarborough won a Class A title and you can safely say the Red Storm were simply perfect.

Exploring Ridgewell Preserve in PhippsburgWould you believe my wife and I were

on our way to Popham Beach for a walk, but were captured by dinosaurs in route? There is a very plausible explanation.

We stopped by the Ridgewell Pre-serve in Phippsburg a few miles north of Popham Beach just to scope it out for a future hike. Our quick look-see turned into a three-hour exploration of the preserve, culminating in a wonderful walk through the aptly named “Dinosaur

Rocks” maze. Here in the Town Forest, just south of the Ridgewell Preserve boundary, three parallel humped ridges sit amidst a vast pitch pine forest.

The easterly ledge offers a glimpse five miles south to the fortress-like island of Seguin. At 180 feet above the ocean, the flashing beacon of Seguin Lighthouse is the highest light above water in Maine. The view is a bit restricted through the tops of the trees, but with binoculars is

nonetheless impressive.The preserve is at Pride Rock Way on

the left side of Route 209, approximately 2.5 miles beyond the Phippsburg Town Hall. It is easy to drive right by the road, so slow down at mile two from the Town Hall and be on the lookout for a small green street sign at the north end of the circular gravel entrance. You will see a green preserve sign at the edge of the woods, and a kiosk with informa-tion on all the trails (30 miles worth!) in Phippsburg.

There are two loop trails within the 50-acre preserve, the northerly one marked with red blazes and the adjacent loop marked with orange blazes. The red blazes are a bit hard to see at times, and with the leaves down it is easy to walk off the trail, so pay attention to the blazes. Detailed maps of the preserve are posted at most trail junctions, letting you know exactly where you are, and the choices before you. If you explore the two loops, then follow the white-blazed trail south into the Town Forest to the dinosaurs, you will hike a total of 4.5 miles.

As you start out you will skirt around North Creek marsh on a series of board-walks. Note on the right a huge red pine. At eight feet in circumference this is one of the larger red pines we have seen in the Mid-Coast region. This is but a sign of things to come. Throughout the preserve there are many pockets of red pine, their reddish, scaly bark glowing in the soft afternoon light. Like their more famous white pine brethren, the red pine were also used for ship masts. The British were still buying these tall, straight trees from us as late as 1875.

A blue-blazed side trail leads out to the marsh. Then the trail climbs 100 feet in elevation up a series of switchbacks onto a vast ledge-pocked plateau. There are a host of vernal pools on the plateau, critical habitat in the spring for wood frogs and spotted salamanders. Greenery abounds everywhere, from treetops to ground level. Shiny green wintergreen leaves and their tasty red berries were everywhere. Oval laurel leaves held fast on their branches. Crunchy patches of reindeer moss dotted the forest floor. Many species of mushrooms had still avoided a killing frost.

Outcroppings of ledges were dot-ted with nubbins of white quartz and

sparkling flecks of mica. Some of the trail-side ledges were ergonomically designed and invited us to sit and listen to the birds. Moss and pine needles provided the perfect cush-ion. (We were not going to make it to Popham Beach on this perfect Indian Sum-mer day!) A downy wood-pecker landed above us on a slender branch, its red head patch clearly visible.

Later we would see two hairy woodpeck-ers chasing each other from tree to tree and calling back and forth.

The red-blazed northerly loop starts out by going through a narrow defile between two 20-feet tall vertical ledges covered with rock tripe. If you changed the rock color to red you might think you were in Utah canyon country. As the trail circled back around to the south we entered a dense grove of pitch pine. The gnarled and twisted trunks were spooky, and we laughed about not wanting to be in this forest on a full-moon Halloween night.

Eventually we made it down to the Dinosaur Rocks and enjoyed the trail maze created both between and up onto the humps. We felt like the Flintstones walking beside huge dinosaurs and then venturing right up their broad, curved backs and back down again. Hidden deep within the vast pine wilderness between Route 209 and the Parker Head Road we were amazed that someone had found these unique formations and blazed a path to them.

The Ridgewell Preserve is one of many beautiful properties managed by the Phippsburg Land Trust. Check out their website (www.phippsburglandtrust.org) for further information about the preserve and other trust projects. With holiday feasting soon upon us, a good walk in a wild place can help counterbalance those extra wedges of pie.

2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal, for garnishOptional: crushed black pepperWarm the sesame and hot sesame oil in

a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for another 2 to 3 min-utes. Stir in seitan and add water. Cover, in-crease heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer. Stir in the broccoli and tofu, then cover and

simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.Season with soy sauce and mirin and

simmer for 10 minutes. Add dissolved kuzu or arrowroot and stir until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 more minutes.

Ladle soup into bowls, squeeze ginger juice into each bowl, and stir. Serve pip-ing hot garnished with scallions. Add a sprinkle of crushed black pepper if desired.

Serves 6 to 8.

Fighting cancer through cooking“Bout” and “struggle” are words we

use to describe what cancer patients go through when they are fighting for their lives against this deadly enemy. To an outsider, they are just words. To Meg Wolff, a Cape Elizabeth 52-year-old who has now written three books about cancer and cooking, these words are reality.

Cancer stole one of Wolff’s legs when she was 33 and took a breast when she was 41. After she went through the mas-tectomy, chemotherapy and radiation to kill the invasive cells, her doctors told her it was not likely that she would live much longer.

But Wolff considered her options: giv-ing up her life or starting a new fight for life. Wolff chose to fight by following a healing macrobiotic diet. She studied with Lisa Silverman of Portland, who of-ten teaches cooking classes in Portland and at the Cancer Community Center in South Portland, and with Aisha Memon at the Kushi Institute in Becket, Mass.

She followed a heal-ing macrobiotic diet (based on grains, beans and vegetables) for nine years, and a macrobiotic-vegan way of eating for the past three years.

Wolff won the fight against cancer and remains in vibrant good health. “What I ate saved my life,” she told me, “and scientific evidence supports that belief.”

In 2009, she was certified by the Cancer Project to teach healthy vegan cooking classes. (The Cancer Project is a branch of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which was started by Dr. Neal Barnard.)

“A Life in Balance: Delicious Plant-Based Recipes for Optimal Health,” published this month by Down East Books of Camden ($19.95), is a 160-page collection of macrobiotic and vegan recipes Wolff used in her fight to regain her health. It can be used by everyone.

“If you eat meat,” Wolff says, “use these dishes as sides.” She eats brown rice and kale nearly every day and loves sea vegetables because they taste like the ocean. (Wolff grew up in Westbrook in the 1960s and ’70s, a member of the De-Coste family there.) Her favorite things to cook are roasted vegetables and hot and spicy soup.

Here are two intriguing and distinctive dishes from “A Life in Balance”:

Hot & Spicy SoupWolff serves this soup with a side dish

of brown rice and steamed broccoli. Try this soup, she says, if you’re looking for something healthful that both adults and kids will really like.

1 teaspoon hot pepper sesame oil2 teaspoons sesame oil1 large yellow onion, cut in half and thinly sliced into half-moon pieces4 or 5 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked to reconstitute, thinly sliced1 (8-ounce) package button or baby portabella mushrooms, thinly sliced8 ounces seitan (wheat gluten), sliced thinly, then sliced into matchstick pieces6 to 8 cups water

aside for coating.Then:1 cup Brazil nuts3/4 cup walnuts1/8 cup dates (about 3)1/2 cup dried apricots1 or 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup1/4 teaspoon vanilla1/2 cup shredded coconut2 tablespoons organic raw cocoa powder (omit if you’d prefer plain)Run the Brazil nuts, walnuts, dates,

and apricots through the food processor until evenly chopped. Add remaining ingredients and process until combined. Roll into balls, then roll each ball in the coating mixture to finish. Enjoy!

Serves 12 to 18.Note: These keep best if stored in the

refrigerator.Susan Lovell and her husband John, a

great cook, live near Pat’s Meat Market & Cafe in Portland, with a hungry Maine coon cat and a poodle who eats cat food. An eighth-generation Mainer, she likes shell-

fish, steak, baked beans, cole slaw, corn bread, blueberry pie and Moxie. Her great great-grandfather, from Wellfleet, Mass., and his cousin founded Boston’s Union Oyster House and she really likes oysters and Guinness. And Boston cream pie.

‘Annie Get Your Gun’ is right on targetBy Scott Andrews

Thanksgiving week marks the cusp between the “regular”-season offerings of southern Maine’s arts and entertainment producers and presenters and the blizzard of Christmas and other “holiday”-season happenings.

On the “regular” side of the ledger, there’s “Annie Get Your Gun,” which opened last weekend in South Portland. It’s the best of Irving Berlin’s many Broadway musicals, and Lyric Music Theater has mounted an extraordinarily fine community production.

On the Christmas side of the ledger, there’s Maine State Ballet’s “The Nutcrack-er” in Portland, and the company promises one of its biggest-ever productions.

University of Southern Maine School of Music has another “holiday” offering, titled “Joyous Sounds For A Festive Season,” slated for Nov. 30 in Portland.

‘Annie Get Your Gun’“There’s No Business Like Show Busi-

ness” is the opening number of one of the happiest Broadway musicals ever written, Irving Berlin’s “Annie Get Your Gun.” It is the masterpiece of the Russian-born composer-lyricist who enjoyed one of the longest and most successful careers in Broadway’s long and glorious history.

With book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields and produced by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, “Annie Get Your Gun” opened in 1946 and ran three years and 1,147 performances, the most of any of Berlin’s creations. (A 1999 revival, with the book revised by Peter Stone, also stayed on the boards for more than 1,000 performances.)

Last weekend, Lyric Music Theater opened an outstanding community produc-tion of the show in South Portland. Over the years I’ve seen quite a few community productions of “Annie Get Your Gun,” and Lyric’s current offering is definitely the best.

It’s a show about show business, spe-cifically Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West, a traveling circus-like spectacle that featured cowboys, Indians and horses that played

all over America and Europe during the late 1800s into the early 20th century. Top draws included Chief Sitting Bull (of Battle of Little Bighorn notoriety) and two ace sharpshooters, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler.

Oakley and Butler were strong-willed characters who were married for nearly 50 years. How did they hook up? Their monumental battle of the sexes, suitably enhanced for theatrical purposes and lushly scored for the musical stage, is the heart of “Annie Get Your Gun.”

This retrospective framing is one of Stone’s principal revisions to the book; the other is recasting Cody’s troupe of show-biz Indians as real people. In real life, Cody loved the Indians, gave employment to many of them in his Wild West Show and was a champion of their causes.

The score is considered Berlin’s best. The opener is the big ensemble number, “There’s No Business Like Show Busi-ness,” a rousing tune that has become the unofficial anthem of American theater. There are two comic gems. The first is “Doin’ What Comes Natur’lly,” which highlights Annie’s dirt-poor beginnings in

rural Ohio. The second is “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun,” Oakley’s droll lament on her failures in the romance department.

“The Girl That I Marry,” Butler’s state-ment of his rather highfalutin expectations of women, and “They Say It’s Wonderful,” a joyous Oakley-Butler duet, are a pair of lushly romantic tunes.

Lyric has a fine cast of community actors, led by Cory Bucknam in the title role. She’s got a good voice, wonderfully articulate body language and an real empathy and enthusiasm for the part. She’s paired with David Allen Van Duyne as her love interest. Van Duyne sports a fine swagger – essential for the role – and the chemistry between him and the leading lady is palpable.

There are several fine supporting roles. One of the best is Janie Downey Maxwell as the deliciously disportive woman who unsuccessfully competes for Frank’s love. I also liked the secondary romantic pair-ing, Rebecca Washko and Brandon Pullen, and the four principal male character roles: Vince Knue as Buffalo Bill, Adam Noor-mand as his general manager, Jeff Newick as arch-rival showman Pawnee Bill and Louis Perrotta as Chief Sitting Bull.

Wil Kilroy, a professor of theater at the University of Southern Maine, directs. Re-bekkah Willey music directs and Vanessa Beyland choreographs this large cast.

Lyric Music Theater, 176 Sawyer St. in South Portland, presents “Annie Get Your Gun” through Dec. 4 with 8 p.m. perfor-mances Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Call 799-6509.

is “The Nutcracker,” a Christmas spectacu-lar told in glorious music and dance. It’s also big, and Maine State Ballet’s annual productions in Merrill Auditorium are the region’s largest. Artistic director/chore-ographer Linda MacArthur Miele likes to involve the maximum numbers that she possibly can.

Try 435. That’s the total number of danc-ers (270), singers (120) and musicians (45) who will take part in seven performances slated for Thanksgiving weekend and the following. (But not all at once; there are some wholesale cast rotations involved.)

Over the course of the two-weekend run, 270 dancers from Maine State Ballet and other dance schools will perform onstage. They range in age from preschool to ad-vanced adult and live throughout southern Maine, coming from 36 different towns from Arundel, north to Norway and west to Lovell.

The singers come from two ensembles, 90 from the Musica de Filia Girlchoir, and 30 from the Westcustago Youth Chorale. The 45-member orchestra mostly comprises professional musicians, including members of the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

Seven performances are scheduled for Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall: Nov. 27 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Nov. 28 at 2 p.m.; Dec. 3 at 7 p.m.; Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

‘Joyous Sounds for a Festive Season’

The second big holiday offering is the University of Southern Maine School of Music’s annual “Joyous Sounds for a Fes-tive Season.” It’s put on in Portland by the USM Chamber Singers, representing the school’s top vocal artists. Chosen through a careful audition process and committed to choral excellence, these undergraduates have accepted a responsibility for musical distinction.

The ensemble, conducted by prof Robert Russell, will perform a cappella music from Renaissance to modern times. Following in-termission the singers will perform a selec-tion of seasonal favorites plus the premiere of Jesse Wakeman’s “O magnum myste-rium.” Wakeman, of Belfast, is a junior in the music education curriculum at USM.

One performance is slated: Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church, 156 High St. in Portland. Call the USM music box office at 780-5555.

Ballerinas twirl and snowflakes swirl in Maine State Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker,” which runs through Dec. 5 at Portland’s Merrill Auditorium.

Smart metersfrom page 1


allow the company to collect electricity us-age without sending readers to each home, which saves the company money.

Instead, energy usage is transmitted via a non-ionized radio wave frequency, similar to a cell phone or wireless Internet router. The information is sent up to six times per hour.

CMP Public Affairs Director John Car-roll said the company has already installed nearly 11,000 of the 13,000 smart meters earmarked for South Portland. A total of 620,000 meters will be installed in CMP’s service area, he said.

Although Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth and Sanford have passed resolutions urg-ing moratoriums on the installations, Car-roll said the company is only honoring the temporary ban in Scarborough, since it was passed before the company provided testi-mony about the technology’s safety from, among others, state Public Health Director Dr. Dora Mills.

The Public Utilities Commission is cur-rently considering two formal complaints about the meters. CMP has agreed to remove or not install the smart meters at

customers’ request, but only until the PUC rules on the matter. There is no permanent opt-out provision.

Councilor Rosemarie De Angelis, a breast cancer survivor who had her smart meter removed, said CMP is patronizing its customers, since the company intends to install the meters without listening to feedback.

“In the end, what it sounds like, is (the forum) doesn’t really matter,” she said.

In the end, De Angelis was the only councilor to support a moratorium. Coun-cilor Maxine Beecher said a resolution “was just a piece of paper,” while other councilors said they needed more informa-tion before making a decision.

“It was not as well-balanced as it could have been tonight,” Councilor Patti Smith said.

During his presentation, Carroll de-scribed smart meters as a “green technol-ogy” that will save the company labor costs and reduce vehicle miles.

The system will also allow the company to create comprehensive energy profiles of its customers, who may eventually be of-

Boudreaufrom page 2

“Many issues are emotionally charged, not factually charged,” Boudreau said. “You try to seperate that and it’s hard.”

Councilor Maxine Beecher lauded Boudreau’s service to the city, noting her vision, institutional memory, intelligence and analytical skills.

“Linda’s got a heart of gold,” said Beecher, who has served with Boudreau for seven years on the council and three years on the School Board. “She can be as tough as anyone I know, and I mean that in a good way.”

Beecher said Boudreau was also instru-mental in the growth of ecomaine, where she has served for about a decade.

Boudreau currently sits of the Cumberland County Civic Center board of trustees and said she would like to

continue serving on the ecomaine board.Beecher said she’s willing to lobby

councilors to allow Boudreau’s ecomaine service to continue.

And that’s not the only lobbying she will be doing.

“Whether she’ll run again or not, I don’t know,” Beecher said. “I’d be the first to encourage her. I think she brings more than all of us put together.”

But for now, Boudreau, seems content to continue a 35-year tradition of nightly neighborhood walks with a group of friends and spending more time with her family, which includes her 91-year-old mother, her husband, two children and a grandchild.

That, and of course, watching some Monday night television.

“I won’t have to tape ‘House’ any-more,” she said.

‘Food for Fines’from page 1

Comment on this story at:http://www.theforecaster.net/weblink/74885Items to donate

Food for Fines participants are asked to bring the following items to the South Portland Public Library:

• Chicken noodle soup• Tomato soup• Pancake mix• Apple or grape jelly• Baked beans• Cocoa• Corn flakes• Toasted oats• Crisped rice cereal• Canned milk• Tea• 1-pound coffee containers• Canned tuna• Macaroni and cheese• Spaghetti sauce, canned tomato

sauce and canned diced tomatoes• Canned fruits and vegetables• Shampoo, toothpaste, bath soap

and deodorant

lar amount for specific kinds of foods. But South Portland will forgive all late fees, regardless of the contribution.

“We don’t want to set any barriers for people,” he said.

The help comes at a time when dona-tions to the Food Cupboard, in the base-ment of (but unaffiliated with) St. John the Evangelist Church at 611 Main St., are becoming less frequent.

It also comes at a time when the num-ber of people seeking food assistance is on the rise.

“It’s a little drastic this year,” said Syb-il Riemensnider, the Food Cupboard’s volunteer director.

According to its annual report, the pantry took in more than $82,000 in 2008-2009. In 2009-2010, however, the group received less than $70,000 – a 15 percent decrease.

Over that same period, the pantry experienced a 17 percent increase in the number of people seeking food as-sistance. Riemensnider said the pantry has served 260 families, or 617 people, in each of the last six months.

And Riemensnider said the new clients are not traditional users, like the elderly or those receiving state aid.

“The new ones are you and I who have lost their jobs,” she said. “They have never, ever gone into a food pantry.”

The pantry is open on Thursdays, ex-cluding holidays, and serves people who earn up to 150 percent above the federal poverty level.

Federal income guidelines vary, de-pending on how many people are in the family, but a family of four making less

Agriculture has stepped up assistance to food pantries, Riemensnider said the pan-try is still struggling to meet the demand.

“We don’t get enough donations to fill these shelves,” she said.

Riemensnider said she hopes the li-brary’s Food for Fines program will not only help increase the donations coming into the Food Cupboard, but also let more people know about the local pantry, rather than only thinking of pantries in Portland.

“People always think about downtown (Portland),” she said. “But we do a lot

than $2,700 a month are eligible.Riemensnider said the pantry not only

serves residents of South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough, but also some from as far as way as Windham, Hollis and Sebago.

While the pantry receives its supplies from office fundraisers and Hannaford in Mill Creek, which donates all food that reaches its sell-by date, the food cupboard also receives fresh produce from Jordan’s Farm in Cape Elizabeth.

Riemensnider said the pantry also buys produce from Native Maine Pro-duce.

Even though the U.S. Department of

here.”Meanwhile, the library director hopes

the Food for Fines program will allow patrons with late fees to shed their guilt and give to a worthy cause.

“Hopefully, by wiping out the fees, we can wipe out any hard feelings people might have,” he said.

on site. The sliding sections are being manufactured in Massachusetts,” Jepson said. “They’ll ship them to us all at once.”

He said as far as he knew, production is on schedule and the entire window replace-ment project will be completed during the winter holiday break.

Replacing the windows and doors in the aging building has cost nearly $228,000, much of which has come out of the dis-trict’s capital improvement budget. Other repairs to the building, including water-proofing and ventilation repairs, air-quality testing and cleaning of water-damaged car-pets has cost the district more than $60,000 since July.

In addition, a new report by Northeast Test Consultants recognized the existence of floor tiles containing asbestos and rec-ommended that any removal of carpets or tiles be done only by properly trained personnel.

The report also recommended that, in the future, the school require that all new build-

South Portland. “This type of market will provide people

with a broad offering of items throughout the winter months,” Jordan said.

South Portland farmers Mary Ellen and Austin Chadd of Green Spark Farm will provide root crops and potatoes, greens and salad mixes.

Mary Ellen said it is important for farm-ers to join together to offer customers more, so the connection with Jordan’s Farm and Alewives is perfect. She also said farmer Meg Liebman of South Paw Farm in Unity will provide popcorn and other root crops to winter market customers.

“We will have meats and dairy products,

ing materials be free of asbestos.“They still make products that can con-

tain asbestos. Most people don’t know that,” Jepson said.

Jepson said the future of the Wentworth building will depend on how the taxpayers vote in a referendum likely to be held next November.

“If they decide they want to renovate, removing the asbestos tiles will be part of the process,” he said. “If they vote to build a new school, obviously, there will be abate-ment during the demolition.”

The Wentworth Building Committee is meeting regularly to discuss options for possible renovation or replacement of the existing building. The committee, made up of town councilors, School Board mem-bers, community members and parents, will make recommendations to the Town Council.

Jepson said he was just beginning to understand some of the issues with the 2006 referendum to replace Wentworth and the middle school buildings, which voters

turned down.“We’ve got a large amount of work to

do before it goes to referendum,” Jepson said. “We want to make sure the public is informed better this time.”Emily Parkhurst can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or

honey and tempeh, vegetables and eggs for people choose,” she said. “The more we can provide as a one-stop shop, the better.”

Chadd said people can visit the Green Sparks Farm website and follow the winter share instructions, which will be posted soon. Winter share order forms will be sent out every two weeks and customers must choose a pick-up site. Orders can be picked up on Wednesdays in South Portland at 341 Pine St. (the parking lot of the Spurwink School) or in Cape Elizabeth at Jordan’s farm stand on Thursdays.

The first deliveries will be Wednesday, Dec. 8, and Thursday, Dec. 9, and the win-ter farm shares will run through February, Chadd said.

“Since a lot of people travel for the holi-days or vacation in February, this will be a good way to serve people on their sched-ules,” Chadd said. “We hope to provide fresh farm items, flexibility and variety.”

fered “dynamic pricing” by paying lower rates during off peak hours, he said.

“(This concern) has overtaken what is a great story for Maine,” Carroll said. “We’re going from the telegraph to the iPhone.”

Erdreich, who is an epidemiologist, said the technology is safe, emitting radio frequencies well-below the standard set by the Federal Communications Commission. She said homeowners are subject to greater exposure from wireless routers, cell phones and cordless phones.

“This is not a health issue for the popula-tion,” she said.

But residents asked the council to con-sider that Erdreich is a paid consultant to the utility company.

Resident Paul Cunningham said he uses a low-radiation cell phone and has removed wireless routers from his home. He said there is no conclusive evidence that cell phones are not harmful.

He called on the council to seek an inde-pendent source for information.

“It’s reasonable to suspect that (Erde-ich’s) testimony is going to lead toward her client,” he said. “What we need are independent scientists.”

Julie Tupper of South Portland and Donna Giroux of Old Orchard Beach said they both have acute sensitivity to radiation.

Neither one uses cell phones or wireless routers, because they cause portions of their bodies to go numb and tingle, they said.

Tupper said her body told her when CMP was installing the meters in her neighbor-hood.

“I could feel the effects washing over me,” said Tupper, noting headaches, diz-ziness and heart palpitations, among other symptoms.

“As far as I’m concerned, this has gone from a concern to a crisis,” Scarborough resident Elisa Boxer-Cook said. “One of your residents is getting sick.”

Boxer-Cook is one of several Scarborough residents who have com-plained to the PUC.

South Portland resident Teresa Swin-bourne said after the meeting she also plans to file a complaint with the PUC, specifically calling for an opt-out clause for concerned customers.

Meanwhile, Coward encouraged resi-dents to take advantage of the 7 p.m. forum on Nov. 29 at Scarborough Town Hall, where they will have more time to express their opinions about the meters.

But Coward said it will be the PUC that will ultimately decide the matter.

“Your time could have been more prop-erly spent addressing the PUC,” Coward said. “We’re not in a position to tell CMP anything about this.”
