By Will Graff and Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — A local business owner and chairman of the Yarmouth Town Council said the Falmouth Town Coun-cil “should be ashamed” after councilors reprimanded him at Monday’s meeting.

Steve Woods, who is also an independent candidate to replace

U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, said councilors’ comments were “egregious” during their discus-sion over his business’ compli-ance with the Falmouth sign ordnance.

“Their comments almost sounded hostile; I was com-pletely caught off guard,” said Woods, who owns TideSmart Global, a marketing company

whose headquarters on Route 1 host the contentious sign. “I was sent a notice of the meeting and then I found out the next day, instead of deliberating the ordinance, the councilors took 40 minutes to disparage me, and by extenstion, my campaign.”

Woods said he did not attend the meeting because he thought the issue was minor and saw no

reason he would have to attend.According to the council

agenda, the councilors were debating the “introduction of an amendment to the Zoning and Site Plan Review Ordinance to revise the requirements for Property Identification Sign.” The amendment would make “minor changes to the current language to accommodate this

property.”The councilors’ issue with the

TideSmart sign is that size of the accent lettering for the word “Global,” which is underneath the TideSmart logo on the sign, is one inch too small.

At the meeting, Councilor Chris Orestis said he wanted to

Council OKs zoning for housing projectsBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — The Town Council approved contract zone agreements Monday for two affordable housing projects in the western part of town.

The Planning Board recom-mended approval of both re-quests, which would create 34 single-family homes in separate projects on Route 100. The properties are across the street from each other, between Mill and Wilson roads and in the Vil-lage Office Commercial 1 Zone.

The Town Council voted 5-1, with Councilor Steve Moriarty opposed and Councilor George Turner abstaining, for North Yarmouth-based Walnut Hill In-vestments’ contract zone request for one project, on nearly 17 acres owned by Doris Wilson. Wilson would retain one lot on the property, with 17 new homes to be built.

The council later voted 4-1, with Moriarty again opposed and both Turner and Councilor Ron Copp abstaining, in support of Telos Capital of Portland’s request to build on a 10.4-acre parcel owned by Elvin Copp. The Planning Board had ap-proved a business park about five years ago on the property eyed by Telos, but the project

Teens become farmers at Wolfe’s NeckBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — Pulling weeds, bucking hay and fighting bugs is not how most high school students want to spend their summer.

But four students work-ing at Wolfe’s Neck Farm wouldn’t have wanted to do anything else.

By the end of the week, the small crew will have followed as much as 5,000 pounds of produce from seed to table, and donated it to food pantries in Freeport and Brunswick, while learn-ing about all aspects of farming.

Their work is part of the Teen Ag program at the farm, which is designed to teach young people about sustainable farming prac-tices.

“They planted, weeded and battled insects, while doing a great job reach-ing out to extension and contacting local farmers to overcome challenges,” said Eric Tadlock, director of education at the farm. “The idea really is to give these kids employable job skills to teach them to create and develop and implement a growing project throughout a growing season.”

The program started at Al-dermere Farms in Rockport, and this was the first year at Wolfe’s Neck. It is support-

These grants, of about $30,000, paid for the sup-plies, a crew leader from the farm and a small wage for the students, Tadlock said.

Falmouth teenager accused of pointing laser at planeBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — A 19-year-old Fal-mouth man is facing charges after alleg-edly pointing a green laser at a commer-cial airplane and a boat last Friday night.

Police received a call from the Portland International Jetport at 8:30 p.m. Aug. 24 that a commercial airline pilot reported a green laser being pointed into the cockpit of the plane within seven miles of the Jetport, Sgt. Frank Soule said Monday.

Within an hour of the first report a

launch operator at the Portland Yacht Club said a laser was being aimed di-rectly at the boat he was steering, making operating the vessel difficult.

“Officers responded and located a group of people leaving the pier and get-ting into their vehicles,” Soule said.

The group was detained and Officer Kurt Fegan eventually charged John Bagonzi, 19, of Charlotte Drive, with criminal use of a laser pointer.

The Federal Aviation Administration is

reviewing the incident. Jetport Director Paul Bradbury said additional charges are likely to be filed.

“This has become a problem with the pocket lasers,” Bradbury said. “I expect (the federal government) will take action.”

According to the FBI's website, issues with laser pointers and airplanes have become a growing problem.

In 2010, there were more than 2,800 reports filed with the FAA of lasers being pointed at airplanes; that was almost dou-ble the previous year's total of about 1,500.

A 2001 report released by the FAA said that shining a laser, specifically a green laser, into the cockpit of an airplane ef-fectively blinds the pilot. What appears to be a dot on the ground illuminates the cockpit of an airplane like a camera flash, the report said.

Criminal use of a laser pointer is a Class D offense and is punishable by up to 364 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Neither Bagonzi nor representatives of the FAA could be reached for comment.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

North Yarmouth’s annual festival promises ‘Decades of Fun’By Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — The town’s annual community celebration is back again Saturday, Sept. 8, with the theme of “Decades of Fun.”

North Yarmouth Fun Day, which takes place at the Village Green on Route 115, begins with a parade at 9 a.m, according to the town’s Events Committee. The pa-rade starts at the White Pines Community Church on Route 9 and ends at the Village Green, where this year’s North Yarmouth distinguished citizens, Clark and Kathy Whittier, will be honored.

The “decades” theme continues through several Fun Day events.

There will be tie-dying from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., allowing participants to relive the 1960s by having an article of clothing juiced

with extra color. The “Decades of Style” hair and makeup tent will be open from 2 to 3 p.m., with the Shear Joy crew at the helm. Disco dancing will ring in the ’70s from 2:30 to 3 p.m., and a “Decades of Style” fashion show will run from 3 to 3:30 p.m.

The Yarmouth-based 317 Main Street En-semble performs at 10 a.m., the same time the “Seat Belt Convincer” will allow people to experience how a low-speed crash feels.

A diaper derby and face-painting begin at 10:30 a.m., and a dog agility and training

demonstration runs from 11 a.m.-noon.The Wicked Good Band, known for its

musical satire, will perform from noon to 12:45 p.m., and then from 1:15 to 2 p.m. A horseshoe tournament and bucket shuttle will be held at 12:45 p.m., followed by “hardcore hula-hooping” from 2 to 2:30 p.m.

Old-fashioned races and a walkabout of town properties will run from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., and a bean supper wraps up the hom-age to Americana from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Yarmouth schools hope to enhance curriculumBy Will Graff

YARMOUTH — With Maine’s summer coming to a close and Labor Day around the corner, Yarmouth schools – public and private – are ready for another school year.

This year, the schools look to make some changes in the classroom to improve cur-riculum and advance area students.

The Yarmouth School District is starting several new programs and projects, which Superintendent Judy Paolucci hopes will prepare students for new state requirements beginning in 2014.

“We’ve been working hard to incorporate Common Core state standards into our curriculum,” Paolucci said, explaining that the new state standards, which have been

adopted by 48 states, are more rigorous than before, stressing writing and mathematics.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an opportunity for states to collectively develop and adopt a core set of academic standards in mathematics and English language arts, which includes literacy in social studies, science and tech-nical subjects, according to the Maine De-partment of Education. The standards were released in June 2010.

One of the programs teachers have been developing to meet these standards is the science program, where they have been making the curriculum more writing-inten-sive and implementing inquiry-based units with hands on experiments, Paolucci said.

“Teachers have added a lot of science writing and continued to work on that this summer,” she said. “It’s interesting to see elementary students doing experiments and using incredible scientific vocabulary. They did a great job, that’s going to continue.”

She said the district will continue to re-fine the course work, and will have the op-portunity to measure the effectiveness this November when the new national science standards are published.

Enrollments have increased steadily over the last few years with more than 1,400 stu-dents in the district this year, Paolucci said.

Grades four and six saw the largest increase in enrollment, adding about 18 students, Paolucci said. To help manage the increase, the district hired new teachers for those grades and moved some around from different grades without as high en-rollments.

“Sometimes we’ll just get a bubble of one class that might be too big,” she said. “But, we’ve been able to handle it by mov-ing staff, so things are looking really good.”

Paolucci said she is not sure of the rea-son for the increased enrollments in those grades, but said most of the new students are from families new to Yarmouth.

This year will also be the first year the school district has an all-day kindergarten. Paolucci said they have added three teach-ers for the new grade.

North Yarmouth AcademyThe private school, North Yarmouth

Academy, is also adding to its curriculum

and taking a more “globally-focused” ap-proach to teaching.

This year, the preparatory school is in-troducing a new language, Mandarin, and making an addition to the French program, which administrators hope will help ac-complish part of the school’s goal of mak-ing students world citizens, Head of School Brad Choyt said.

The Mandarin program brought a Chi-nese teacher to Yarmouth and will even-tually coordinate with a sister school in China. The French-mastery program will give students the opportunity to not only improve their handling of the French lan-guage, but will also have history and social studies courses taught in that language.

The school is also switching from the trimester system to semesters. This will al-low students to have more time in intensive elective classes, such as, interdisciplinary economics, which teaches both the math-ematics and social components of econom-ics, Choyt said.

“We hope that these programs bring out the best in our students,” he said. “We are building on the longstanding tradition of the school, which is to prepare students for their lifetime and prepare students for life’s challenges whether they stay in Maine or go elsewhere.”

Cumberland joins communities officially ‘open for business’By Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — The town’s work in streamlining its licensing and permit-ting process has helped it earn business-friendly certification from the state.

Cumberland was one of five communi-ties selected in the second round of Gov. Paul LePage’s certification program, according to an announcement Monday from the Department of Economic and Community Development.

“I want to thank and congratulate the

communities of Pittsfield, Cumberland, Westbrook, Lewiston and Auburn for their continued commitment to business excel-lence,” LePage said in a statement. “All of these communities are focused on creat-ing a better environment for private sec-tor job growth and driving our economy forward by reducing red tape and being open for business.”

Cumberland and Pittsfield success-fully resubmitted from the first round of certifications. Bath, Augusta, Biddeford,

Brewer, Bucksport, Guilford, Lincoln and Saco previously received business-friendly status.

Communities selected for the program receive certificates and a Maine Depart-ment of Transportation road sign, and are expected to become a significant part of the state’s business attraction strategy, according to the DECD.

Nominees are evaluated in areas such as business involvement and collabora-tion, customer service, public input,

and licensing and permitting. The latter was a particularly important aspect for Cumberland.

Alyssa Tibbetts, the town’s economic development director, said Tuesday that Cumberland separated its licensing and permitting processes so that both a staff review and Planning Board route are available to applicants. That allows smaller projects to undergo the simpler staff review process, shortening the

Reflections on summer, visitors, and veteransThere are so many reasons to savor the Maine sum-

mer. The stunning weather, the native produce, the late-afternoon light all combine with a slower pace of daily life that enables us to enjoy these blessings, if we are truly fortunate, with family and dear friends.

Inevitably, though, at some point in August, after you’ve spent the day in the garden or down at the boat, after you’ve returned from the woods or hosed off from the beach, you’ll be sitting on your deck when something in the air tells you it will soon be fall. Oh, there will be hot days to come, and there’s no need to panic, but we’ve all felt it – that little blast of un-characteristically cold air, a weird gust of wind that pulls unsuspecting leaves from the branches. That’s when we know it’s com-ing, when the mind’s eye begins to see the gray clouds, the rain coming down sideways and, before long, the white stuff.

Some may not be entirely sorry to see the summer pass, for by this point, the pedestrian traffic, the con-gestion downtown, the lack of parking, the occasional

inconsiderate visitor can all become a bit tedious. A few locals have even been heard to grumble something about “getting our town back” after Labor Day.

But it’s really just talk, of course. Maine people need visitors, and visitors need Maine. The truth is we’ve managed to work things out over the past century or so, and none of us has much desire to change anything, so this is the way it will stay, I expect, and that’s good.

In fact, if you’ve lived here a while, perhaps you’ve been fortunate enough to form friendships with some folks that summer in Maine every year, either as part of family tradition or because they just can’t imagine life without Maine.

If you’re particularly fortunate, you make friends like Huss and Jane Malik.

Huss and Jane come back to Maine every summer from Florida. Jane has deep roots here, and Huss rel-ishes the scenery as he rides his bicycle through South Portland in the early mornings. That’s how we met, in fact, many years ago. A chat at a traffic light, a water break on my jogging route. It wasn’t long before we began to visit over coffee and to talk about the truly important things in life.

Huss has done many things, from teaching at universi-ties to career counseling to working in state government, but what comes through most clearly in our conversa-tions are his compassion and his strong pacifist streak. A military veteran, Huss has no use for armed conflict and mourns the waste of life and treasure on seemingly

endless disputes beyond resolution or understanding.So when Huss and Jane’s son Joey enlisted in the U.S.

Army at age 39, Huss was anything but enthusiastic. But Joey felt the need to serve, and his family needed the health-care benefits. He rose through the ranks, was deployed to the Horn of Africa and, as an example to his younger brethren, volunteered for a 100-mile exercise through the desert in Djibouti.

Six miles from the end, Joey was overcome by the 115 degree heat and passed out. Aspirating sand and his own vomit, he was unconscious and without oxygen for critical minutes before his squad leader came upon him, intubated him and managed to stabilize him. Near death and with a core body temperature of 107 degrees, however, his prospects were bleak.

What followed next is both heroic and maddening; the remarkable medical expertise and dedication that brought Joey back to life – and full function – alongside the exasperating bureaucracy of military medical care.

For Huss and Jane, however, the traumatic episode has been both instructive and something of a miracle. From the moment Joey was stricken, the military dem-onstrated exceptional concern for the family. He was airlifted from Djibouti on a Learjet to Germany, stabi-lized and flown to the U.S.; Huss and Jane were then flown from Florida to San Antonio, Texas, where they were met at the airport, taken to a hotel, and squired about by a sergeant who put himself at their disposal, 24/7.

The Army paid for everything – hotels, flights, ex-penses, per diem, even parking and mileage – and it did the same for Joey’s wife – so that Joey could have the support of his family.

“There are good people out there,” Huss noted, de-spite his opposition to conflict . "I’ve never seen devo-tion and compassion like I experienced.”

And that’s when he tears up.Summers come and go, as do summer visitors. Our

lives intersect for a time, and then we move on to the next season. Along the way, if we are wise, we pause long enough to appreciate the better parts of human nature.

In a perfect world, there’d be no need for troops in faraway places, risking their lives fighting shadowy enemies. In a perfect world, we’d spend more time cultivating friendships than we would in battle or in recovery rooms.

Yet even in this world, we can strive to appreciate the friendships we have, especially here in this special place, that we fortunate few are blessed to enjoy all the year round.

Beem is the conservative movement’s best friend

Bravo Zulu Mr. Beem, mission accomplished. (Please excuse the military reference.) You met your primary objective of using inflammatory language to incite people to talk about your column and entrench your spot in The Forecaster. Additionally, you were able to once again solidify the position of the far left by attacking those you disagree with, mocking the military and attempting to di-vide the country along any lines you can. I understand that your column was supposed to be “tongue in cheek” and the conservative stereotypes you threw out were supposed to make those on the left giggle with delight, but it mostly serves your primary purpose, to divide.

As a member of the military, I went through about four emotions in 10 seconds as I read your column. Anger, then disgust, then forgiveness, then pride. The pride stood out the most. I once again realized that my service, Mr. Summers’ service and Mr. Tyll’s service as well as the service of countless others has enabled you to exercise that beloved First Amendment fundamental freedom you enjoy. Mock-ing the military, even in a satirical col-umn, serves no purpose but to show what a small-minded, unappreciative America hater you really are.

You serve to shift the far left agenda ever-further to the left. You succeed in alienating more and more folks in the middle, thus pushing them to the right of center. Keep up the good work Mr. Beem, you are unknowingly the MVP of the Conservative cause.

Jason Warnke, Woolwich

Beem needs a lesson in lacrosse history

As a coach of both boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, I found Edgar Allen Beem's labeling of lacrosse rules as “sexist nonsense” harsh and historically inaccurate.

Lacrosse is a Native American game that takes its name from the Jesuit priests’ (mis)interpretation of the Iroquois sticks as ecclesiastical crosiers. In the 1880s a group of barnstorming Iroquois lacrosse players toured the world. The game caught on at the tour sites, and many of those locations remain lacrosse hotbeds today. Each location “tweaked” the game and the rules. In 1890, in Scotland, at the St. Leonard’s School, the first women’s lacrosse game was played, with the participants demonstrating their own interpretation. That adaptation is the root of today’s women’s game.

Today both games thrive and both games are part of the 218 percent growth that has made lacrosse the fastest growing sport in our country over the past decade. I agree

Summers deserves credit for response to businesses

The Aug. 22 article, “Summers’ jobs program fails to live up to his claims of success,” seemed at best like a strained attempt to find a reason to criticize Secretary of State Charlie Summers, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Adding a small business advocate to the secretary of state’s office is only being billed as a “jobs program” by the story’s authors. To try to define its success by attributing a precise, yet unknowable, number of jobs created or saved is futile and misses the point of the initiative.

When Maine legislators toured the state shortly after the election of 2010, business leaders told them that they needed relief from burdensome regulations. They needed someone inside government who they could turn to with questions and concerns. Charlie Summers, with his experi-ence as a small-business owner and as head of the regional Small Business Administration, saw the importance of this and lobbied legislators to create the position. He made it happen without additional cost to the taxpayer and found the perfect person for the job.

The job of small business advocate is about responding to the needs of Maine’s businesses and giving them an ally in state government. The 117 cases he has received in just 10 months demonstrate a need for this position. It’s all a part of making Maine more business friendly, and that will encourage more businesses to come to, and stay in, Maine. My friend and neighbor, Charlie Summers, deserves a lot of the credit for this success.

Remove BPA from children’s food packaging

Parents worry about their children, and I am no different. As a mom, and executive director of Physicians for Social Responsibility Maine Chapter, I still worry, even though my son is college.

PSR Maine believes the current ban on bisphenol A (BPA) in baby bottles and sippy cups does not go far enough to protect the health of Maine’s chil-dren. We are working with the Alli-ance for a Clean and Healthy Maine to strengthen the rule by banning BPA

in toddler’s food and infant formula containers.The alliance had 10 jars of well-known, popular brands

of baby food from Maine retailers tested for BPA. Each of the five brands represented were found to have detectable levels of BPA, which had leached into the food from the lids of the jars.

We are concerned about the health of Maine’s children. Independent, scientific studies continue to show con-nections between BPA and learning disabilities, cancers, reproductive disorders, and now are even showing a con-nection to obesity.

PSR Maine supports this important rule change to re-move BPA from all children’s food packaging. The Maine Board of Environmental Protection will hold a public hear-ing on the rule change on Sept. 6 in Augusta.

What’s lacking in Augusta? Courage

Brunswick Superintendent of Schools Paul Perzanoski's comments should serve as a lightning rod as to what is lacking in Augusta: courage.

It is time we begin to demand courage from all of those appointed by and supporters of Gov. Paul LePage, from those who do not have the courage to challenge LePage in his disregard of public health regarding the BPA exposure,

with the assertion that men and women could and should play the same sport. I disagree with Beem's assertion that the reason the men and women play by different rules is sexism; the two sports just evolved differently. Also, Beem’s suggestion that the women should play the men’s game seems to me to be inherently sexist. Any discussion of combining the two sports should include having the men adapt the women’s game. Personally, I think the answer lies in combining the best of both sports.

Pete Lyons, Westbrook

to his misogynist comments regarding beards on women. From those who do not have the courage to defend teachers from the bashing by LePage, who could not last one week as a teacher or has any sense what is involved in the teach-ing process. From those who do not have the courage to acknowledge that LePage’s comments comparing the IRS to the Gestapo was way over the top, instead dismissing it as “much ado about nothing." From those who do not have the courage to admit that LePage’s comments are intended to be inflammatory, so to gain political points with those who look down upon Jews, African-Americans, minorities, women, people with disabilities, LGBT, and union workers. From those who do not have the courage to call LePage to task for claiming that all state middle-management is cor-rupt without providing any evidence.

It is time we begin to demand courage from all of those appointed by and supporters of LePage, who have more concern for their jobs or future opportunities than for the people of Maine. Their lack of action, lack of character, and lack of courage is pathetic.

NOTICE

ASBESTOS INSPECTION, REINSPECTION, AND AVAILABILITYOF AHERA MANAGEMENT PLANS

I am pleased to advise you that the Falmouth School Department is continuingto work diligently for the students, parents, and employees to maintain a safelearning environment and insure the compliance of federal Asbestos HazardEmergency Response Act (AHERA) regulations.

A bi-annual inspection was conducted of all district school facilities for thepurpose of defining asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) in theFalmouth Schools.

An accredited asbestos inspector performed each inspection. Managementplans were developed for each facility, detailing the findings of the inspection incompliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s AHERA regulation.In accordance with 40 CFR 763.85(b)(1) of that Act:

At least once every three years, after a management plan is in effect, each localeducation agency shall conduct a reinspection of all friable and non-friable,known or assumed,ACBM in each school building that they lease, own,or otherwise use as a school building.

Accredited inspectors will perform periodic surveillance in all buildings that thedistrict leases, owns, or otherwise uses as a school building every six months asstated in 40CFR 763.92(b)(3) of the AHERA act. The AHERA Management Plansare maintained in the Administrative Office of each school. AHERA Managementplans are also available at the Department of Facilities Management at the HighSchool. These plans are available to the public during regular working hours.

Topper West is the asbestos program’s designated coordinator for the district.If you would like to secure additional information regarding the asbestos programfor your specific school facility, please contact him at 321-0030.

The dating ‘situation’Something is amiss in the wonderful world of mid-

life dating.It seems more and more often, friends and acquain-

tances refer to a dating connection as a “situa-tion.” As in, “the Greg situation,” or “the Enrique situation,” or – if it’s under deep scrutiny and being analyzed on a daily or weekly basis – merely shortened to initials: “the R situation.”

The word “situation” implies that something is not working quite as ef-fortlessly as one would hope. When things are proceeding along blissfully in dating-ville, you do not call it a “situation.” For instance, I never dialed up my mom from college when I was madly in love and said, “I need to discuss the Drew situation.”

A situation is unhappy. A happy dating thing is not a situation; it’s a healthy relationship. A love affair. A

torrid romance.When did our dating lives turn into a collection of

situations, similar to World War II encounters requiring the strategic skills of a bunker full of generals, huddled around a 3-D map covered with toy tanks? Why do we keep anything labeled a “situation” in our lives?

I’m thinking this is mainly a female issue. Or perhaps it’s just a small-town thing. Do women in New York City have more “situations” than romances? Or is the pool of possible dating material so much more diverse that they drop a guy as soon as it becomes clear he’s crossed the line from “fun” to being pictured in the dictionary on Page 447 – next to the word “situation.”

Merriam-Webster lists several definitions for “situ-ation,” but I can tell you with great certainty that if a girlfriend calls you at 11 p.m to discuss “the Floyd situ-ation,” it falls under definition 5b: “a critical, trying, or unusual state of affairs: a PROBLEM.”

Perhaps I’m romanticizing the past, but did Grace Kelly call her girlfriends to discuss “the Prince Ranier situation?”

I’m guessing not.I am, at times, as guilty of this over-analysis as any-

one. It’s like checking on the state of your IBM stock each morning upon arising.

My girlfriend texts me, “So how’s the (fill in name of your choice) situation today?” This is sweet and caring, yet also points to our probable, mutual dysfunction.

I can tell you one thing with 100 percent certainty: men do not text one another from the waiting room of their dentist’s office inquiring about the state of a buddy’s “situation.”

They might text to see whether the buddy got any action the night before. They do not text to see what today’s pulse is on “ the Tiffany situation.”

I have friends of the male persuasion, and they do not generally think in the ways of most of my female friends. The female brain possesses amazing powers of analysis, and many women tend to analyze things to death. We may try to stop ourselves, but speaking from personal experience, I admit that it’s sometimes nearly impossible.

Which may be part of the reason that in dating, things can transition from “fun” to “situation” in the time it takes to put on new toenail polish.

Now please do not bother writing to tell me a brain is a brain, and that men and women are exactly the same. I am not an anthropologist, sociologist, scientist or thera-pist of any variety. But I am here to tell you, we are not

The GOP’s 3 R’s: Romney, Ryan, RandWe all embody contradictionsm I suppose, but Mitt

Romney’s running mate Rep. Paul Ryan,R-Wisconsin, is one big nasty knot of self-negating nonsense.

You think I’m exaggerating?Ryan, the buff busker for budget busting, is a wild-

eyed prophet of smaller government, raging in the Middle America wilder-ness against big government. Yet he has been sucking on the government teat his entire working life, first as a congressional aide and since 1999 as a congressman. Ryan is an apostle of free-market capitalism who has never worked in the free market a day in his blue-eyed, six-packed ab, cheesehead life.

Ryan makes a big whoop about being a pro-life Catholic, yet he admits that his fundamental politi-cal philosophy came from Russian atheist writer/philosopher Ayn Rand, who thought all religion was a crock of shish-kabob. In her elephantine, mind-numbing, sclerotic novels "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged," Rand worked out her fictional philosophy of Objectivism, based on the mistaken premise that egomania is what makes the world go round. Rationality is all. Now we have the irrational Religious Right going all wet and gooey over a guy whose craven idol believed everything faith-based was superstitious nonsense.

Christianity is all about forgiveness and self-sacri-fice. Conservative Christians and radical Republicans are not. So maybe the apostate Ryan can get them to come to him. Most of the conservative opposition to

President Obama is racism, so, with the scales of prej-udice already tipped far to the right, Ryan shouldn’t have a tough time getting Hale and Mary America to vote against their own best interests by jumping on the Romney-Ryan-Rand bandwagon.

In naming Ryan his vice presidential buddy, Romney made haste to try to dis-tance himself from what former Office of Management and Budget Director David Stockman – mind you, a Reagan Repub-lican – called “Ryan’s fairy tale budget.” The Ryan budget, a roadmap to riches for the few and rags for the rest, is a hate-ful document that sent both the Catholic Church and fellow Republicans howling in execration when Ryan unveiled it in all its suffer-and-die hideousness. But both Romney and Ryan believe in the virtue of selfishness, which just happens to be the title of my favorite Ayn Rand book. Screw life’s losers. Gimme, gimme, gimme! To the victors go the spoils.

Ayn Rand’s Objectivism, like L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology, is a cult that appeals to imma-ture minds because its simple-minded black-and-white principles legitimize, even celebrate, our basest human instincts. Most people outgrow such pseudo-thought when they outgrown juvenile egomania. Paul Ryan (not to be confused with Rand Paul, but, then why not? They’re the same sort of cuckoos) forgives Ayn Rand her atheism and adultery because her philosophy venerates the cutthroat capitalism that Romney embod-ies and to which Ryan aspires.

The Ryan-Rand Budget would cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans because, after all, they are better,

more important people than everyone else, and raise taxes on rest of us. It calls for privatizing Medicare and Social Security so that vulture capitalists like Ryan and Romney might skim a little off the top of human misery.

I’ll bet there will even be tea party tosspots who vote for Romney-Ryan even though their Richie Rich agenda flies in the face of free-market tea party philos-ophy. Ryan, for example, was a great champion of the Bush stimulus plan because it gave piles of tax money to his corporate cronies. He may have voted against Obama’s stimulus plan, but he was right at the head of the line begging for stimulus funds. Nasty little knots.

Forgive me for repeating myself, but we have a very clear choice in November and Romney’s selection of Ryan, a choice meant to excite the rabid republican right, makes that choice even easier. We can vote for personal gain or for the common good, for selfishness or generosity, for smug self-satisfaction or for higher aspirations, for the fortunate few or for the struggling many, for Romney-Ryan-Rand or for something better.

I want something better.• • •

In a recent column I mistakenly identified the late state Sen. Roger V. Snow of Falmouth as a Republican. Snow was my first boss back at the American Journal in 1965. I should have known he was a Democrat. I guess the bow ties threw me off. I regret any pain and suffering my mistake may have caused the Snow family.

the same. And I will defend that opinion to the death.When I was approximately 15, I recall my lovely

mother, Louise, adamantly declaring that men’s and women’s brains didn’t operate in quite the same way. Not yet mature enough to understand that “different” does not mean “not as good as,” I also remember roll-ing my eyes, thinking, “You have no idea what you’re talking about. We’re equal!”

Of course, a few decades, one marriage, one dead husband and hundreds of dates later, I feel the need to offer up a public apology to my mother, and defer to her obvious wisdom.

The situation seems to be this: if you are analyzing more than having fun while dating someone, it’s prob-ably time to change the, ummm, situation.

YARMOUTH — Caroline Rancourt Groves, 84, of Yarmouth died on Aug. 24 at Maine Medical Center in Portland. She was born in Solon on Sept. 10, 1927, the daughter of the late Frank and Martha Rancourt.

Groves grew up in Solon and graduated high school in 1945. She then attended the University of Maine and graduated to become a home economics teacher. She met her husband, Franklin, at an alumni dance at UMO.

They lived in various places includ-ing Erie, Pa., and New York City. The couple eventually settled in Tolland, Conn., where she taught home econom-ics to middle schoolers for over 20 years.

Caroline received her master’s degree at the University of Connecticut in 1974.

The couple spent every summer at camp on Cousins Island, where they eventually retired. There she enjoyed picking berries, go-ing for walks, flower gardens, sailing and boating, swimming in Casco Bay, pic-nics, lobster and clam bakes. Groves was renowned for her po-tato salad and her berry pies.

Her family history in Solon was very important to her and she shared that his-

tory with her children by telling them where each family antique came from along with a story or two. Being from Maine also meant being a Red Sox fan. Caroline loved going to her grandchil-dren’s sporting events.

Groves was very devoted to her chil-dren and grandchildren. She always wanted guests to stay for lunch or supper and there were always homemade snacks to be had – cookies, cake, pies or breads.

Groves is survived by her husband of 62 years, Franklin Groves; her son, Carl Groves and his wife, Leslie, and grand-son, Samuel; her son, Steven Groves and grandchildren, Benjamin and Kyle Groves; her daughter, Karen Mokarzel and her husband, John, and grandson,

Joshua Mokarzel, and granddaughter, Danielle Mokarzel.

Groves was predeceased by her sister, Jean Rancourt Spencer.

A funeral service was held Aug. 28 at First Parish Church Congregational in Yarmouth with Rev. Kate Dalton offici-ating. Burial followed in Cousins Island Cemetery.

The Forecaster’s Fall Sports PreviewBy Michael Hoffer

The days are getting shorter, the air is becom-ing crisp and it won’t be long until the leaves turn. While the end of summer

is disappointing to some, the arrival of autumn means a new year of high school sports and that’s nothing but good news for those in Forecaster

Country. A new season promises to bring memo-ries and hardware aplenty in football, soccer, field hockey, cross country, golf and volleyball and local

teams and athletes will be at the forefront. You’ll soon need a jacket, but it will feel good to get out-doors and enjoy the best that our local standouts

have to offer.(Ed. Note: For our tra-

ditional capsule previews with additional photos and information, as well as schedules, please visit

Falmouth YachtsmenBOYS’ SOCCER

Several Falmouth boys’ soc-cer championship teams over the years were juggernauts from the get-go. The 2011 Yachtsmen were just the opposite, but they wound up where so many previ-ous squads did, at the top of the heap, after a 2-1 win over Cam-den Hills in the Class B Final, which gave them a 13-3-2 record. This year’s squad is starting from a better place than it did a year ago, which is a scary thought for the rest of the region as Falmouth has the pieces in place to make it nine Class B titles in 13 seasons.

This year’s crew is led by highly-touted all-state senior J.P. White. His athleticism and finishing touch will cause fits for the opposition. Senior Grant Burfeind had the flair for the dramatic a year ago and stands to do plenty of scoring also. Ex-pect additional offense to come from the likes of seniors Luke Andrews and Cooper Lycan and sophomore Ben Lydick and Luke Velas. Falmouth’s defense is also superior thanks to seniors like Ian McBrady, Billy Mullin, Jack Pike and Tom Wilberg. Junior Will D’Agostino (a second-team all-star last year) returns in goal. Only a junior, he’s already viewed as one of the state’s finest.

There aren’t many holes to be found with this team. The Yachts-men will be a force on offense and will stymie the opposition. In the end, Falmouth will have one of the finest teams in the state, regardless of class, will post double digit victories for the 13th year in a row and should go deep into the playoffs. Perhaps all the way. Again.

“We’re in a good spot,” said Dave Halligan, who has won 301 games and 10 Gold Balls in his 25 prior seasons coaching the Yachtsmen. “I’m pleased with the progress. The kids are seri-ous about the game, but are also having fun. We had 12 one-goal games last year. We gained a lot of valuable experience that will help us. We’re ahead of where we were last year.”

GIRLS’ SOCCERFalmouth once again showed a

flair for the dramatic last season,

riding its opportunism to a seventh Class B state title this century (a 1-0 victory over Presque Isle in the finale ended the season at 13-4-1). A third straight Gold Ball could await at the end of this year’s journey.

Senior Caitlin Bucksbaum was Falmouth’s Fall Female Athlete of the Year and the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year. She’s capable of controlling the midfield, has pinpoint passing touch and is ca-pable of tickling the twine herself. Senior Alex Bernier has scored as many big goals as anyone, including the winner in the state game last fall. Senior Cassie Dar-row has a deadly foot as well and has scored her share of key goals in big situations, including a pair against Morse in the Western B Final last season. All three play-ers were conference and regional all-stars in 2011. Juniors Mary

BOYS’ SOCCERAfter falling short two years in a row, Freeport got back to the

playoffs last fall for the 12th time in 14 seasons, finishing 7-8-1 after a 1-0 loss to York in the Western Class B quarterfinals.

The Falcons will give everyone their all again this autumn. Senior Parker Matheson is a reigning league all-star. He’ll likely be a top scorer, along with seniors Connor Dietrich and Landon Easler. Junior Ethan Roney will also help the offense. Defensively, Freeport boasts some strong players, most notably juniors Nick Nelsonwood and Harry Stivers and senior Cole Harrison. Sopho-more Brandon Qualls will be in goal.

Freeport should only get stronger as the season progresses. The Falcons could be a very dangerous out if they make the playoffs. No one will want to face this club in October.

“It’s a young team, but it’s a good group of kids,” said longtime coach Joe Heathco, now in his 15th season. “We lost eight starters, so it’s a very different team this year. We have six sophomores and three freshmen on the varsity. Those kids will play. We’ll get stronger and hopefully be in the playoff hunt and be strong at the end.”

GIRLS’ SOCCERFreeport made history last season (winding up 8-8 after a 3-1

loss to York in the Western Class B quarterfinals), winning its first playoff game since 2000 in the process, and looks to build on that success this fall.

Senior Jocelyn Davee is a returning league all-star. She’ll be in the midfield, but could also be the team’s top scorer. Seniors Naomi Otis and Aubrey Pennell and sophomore Julia Smith will also be factors on offense. Junior Brooke Heathco leads the defen-sive side of the ball. Junior Jess Perry is in goal.

Greely RangersBOYS’ SOCCER

Greely bounced back from a rare sea-son falling short of the playoffs in 2010 by getting back to the postseason last year (losing, 1-0, to Scarborough in the Western Class A quarterfinals to finish the season 8-7-1). This fall, the Rangers are primed to get back to the top.

Junior Ted Hart was an all-conference selection last season and could be a top scorer from his striker position. Sopho-more Mitchel Donovan, seniors Nick Shain and Ben Giffard and freshman Jacob Nason also hope to score their share of goals. Junior Matt Crowley, an-other reigning all-conference selection, will help lead the midfield. Junior Aidan Black is also in that mix. Seniors Liam Campbell and Nick Dunnett and junior Sam Porter have experience on defense and are joined by junior Patrick O’Shea in front of senior Elijah Leverett, who

another strong Greely volleyball team, which is looking for a ninth title in 10 seasons.

returns in goal. Senior Doug Mitiguy is new to the team and will help on defense.

Playing in the toughest conference in the state means more than half of Greely’s games will come against the traditional powers. The Rangers possess plenty of depth and will battle. Don’t sleep on this squad. Come late October, no one will want to face Greely.

“We’ll still young, but I think we’ll be exciting,” said longtime coach Mike Andreasen, who enters his 15th season. “We’ll be strong in goal. We have speed. We have to play physical, but we’re not really big. We’ll get closer this year. I’d like to see us go farther and keep moving in the right direction.”

GIRLS’ SOCCERGreely’s title hopes once again ended

in Saco a year ago with a 3-2 loss to Thornton Academy in the Western Class A quarterfinals which ended their season Dylan Rasch. The Rangers will move the

ball and have players who can take it to the house on any given snap. Defensively, Coyne, Ferrar and Rasch will be on the line. Jacobson will be a force at line-backer. In the secondary, look for Dubois, Hodge and Maynard to wreak havoc.

Greely impressed with a victory over rival Cape Elizabeth in the preseason. The Rangers have some tests on the schedule, but have a great shot at passing them. The seniors are primed to bow out in style. That could spell another winning season and trip to the playoffs, this time perhaps with a longer stay.

“We still have a lot of questions, but we’re gaining momentum,” said fourth-year coach David Higgins. “We have young kids who will see some playing time. Svenn is our horse. Our overall team speed is good. I’m sure we’ll be competitive. I’d like to get to the playoffs and play a game at home.”

FIELD HOCKEYGreely is once again on the short list of

favorites in Western Class B. The Rang-

at 13-3. This year, the Rangers will once again be among the top contenders.

The offense will be paced by senior Ju-lia Mitiguy and juniors Allie Morrill and Leah Young. Freshman Izzy Hutnak will soon be a household name as well. Senior Gabby Morris and freshman Jocelyn Mi-tiguy help control a solid midfield. The defense features senior Holly Rand and juniors Teal Otley and Mykaela Twitch-ell. Senior Caton Beaulieu is back in goal. She’s handled her share of big situations.

Greely likes its chances, even faced with a brutal schedule. While the Rang-ers will hit some potholes along the way, by season’s end, they’ll once again be in position to embark on a deep postseason run. If Greely improves as expected (and can somehow avoid Thornton Academy), don’t be surprised if it steals headlines when the games matter most and finishes the job in golden fashion.

“Defensively, I think we’re one of the best teams in the state,” said fifth-year coach Michael Kennedy. “I think Caton’s the best goalie in the state. That gives our offense time to grow stronger. We’ll have our struggles in the regular season, but we’ll get better and be really good at the end. It’s a unique year in that we don’t come in with a lot of expectations.”

FOOTBALLOn the heels of their 2010 heartache,

missing the playoffs after losing a coin toss, the Rangers took the extra step last year, finishing 5-4 after a 21-9 Western Class B quarterfinal round playoff loss to Cape Elizabeth. Greely’s primed to be one of the top contenders in the Campbell Conference this fall.

Senior Drew Hodge returns under cen-ter. He was an all-star last year. Senior Svenn Jacobson will see the brunt of the ball carrying. Another reigning all-star, he’s a punishing runner who is at his best in big spots. Junior James Ferrar will be in the fullback position. When Hodge looks to throw, he’ll turn to sophomore Nick Dubois and senior Nick Maynard (an honorable mention all-star last year). The line features honorable mention all-star senior Eric Coyne, as well as junior

gers lost to nemesis York (2-1, in over-time, of the semifinals to finish 11-5) for the second postseason in a row and there’s little doubt that the Wildcats, who have dominated the region since 2004, will be the team Greely will have to solve if it gets where it wants to be, a first state final appearance in nine years.

These Rangers have what it takes. On offense, the goals should come with abandon as seniors Rachel Hanson and Jess Wilson figure to be top scorers. Oth-er offensive threats include junior Casie Demick and seniors Emily Domingo, Sarah Holmes, Brittany Rogers, Kaley Sawyer and Paige Tuller. On defense, senior Chelsey Andrews sets the tone in front of new goalie, senior Leah Dixon.

Greely figures to post a 16th straight winning record and get back to the post-season with a high seed. If the Rangers could get homefield advantage, they would be helped immeasurably, but regardless, Greely is capable of beating anyone, anywhere.

“‘It’s a great group of girls,” said sixth-year coach Kristina Lane Prescott. “Very close. Really supportive. They’re hungry. I’m hoping their experience and maturity will get us over that mental hurdle.”

CROSS COUNTRYBoth Greely cross country teams con-

tinued the program’s strong tradition a year ago with high state finishes (the boys were runners-up to Falmouth, while the girls came in fifth). Both squads should be in the mix for October greatness again.

The boys return senior Nate Madeira, who was fifth at the Class B state meet and was a league all-star in 2011. Senior Ian Byron, sophomore Troy Cochrane

and juniors Dan Ray, Weston Taylor and Ryder White also return. The Rangers might not have high expectations, but they are still respected by the opposition. Look for Greely to make it to states for the seventh year in a row and to finish in the top 10 again.

On the girls’ side, returners include junior Kirstin Sandreuter, Greely’s 2010 Fall Female Athlete of the Year, who missed the 2011 state meet with mono, and state meet scorers sophomore Eva Bates (10th, to cap an all-star season), junior Jill Booth (40th) and senior Jordan Ouellette (46th). Juniors Cameron Keefe, Krista Marble and Eliza McKenney, along with sophomore Emma Mason, also have experience. If the Rangers can stay healthy, they’ll battle for top honors in the conference, post a top regional fin-ish and look for another strong showing at the state meet.

“It’s a rebuilding year for the boys,” said coach David Dowling, now in his 16th season. “We hope to make states to give experience to this year’s varsity runners. MDI and Camden Hills return as the top-ranked girls’ teams in Class B, but we hope to close the gap with the increased experience of our girls entering their second year of competition.”

GOLFGreely’s golf program has been as

strong as any for many years and after going 7-2 in 2011, the Rangers will look to make it to the Class A state meet for the first time since moving up. Among the returners are all-stars and seniors Kyle Bickford, Sarah Hansen and Kyle Megathlin. Hansen tied for second in the girls’ individual tournament. Megathlin tied for 15th in the Class A boys’ in-dividual match. Junior Bailey Train is a great athlete who can crush the ball.

Junior Tom Buchholz and seniors Tucker Hawkinson and Nick Plummer also have experience. Several newcomers will make the team even stronger. Look for this group to get to states as a team and for several individuals to make some serious noise as well.

“We would like to play in the team states this year,” said fourth-year coach Brian Bickford. “Our strength is our depth and the ability to reload. We look to jell as the season progresses.”

VOLLEYBALL After Greely’s seven-year champion-

ship run ended in 2010, the Rangers re-turned to their familiar perch last autumn in dramatic fashion, beating Scarborough, 3-1, to win the Class A championship with a perfect 16-0 record.

As always, Greely returns ready to make another run at the top. This year’s top returner is senior Haleigh Roach, a captain and setter, who was an all-state second-teamer in 2011. Senior Danielle Cimino, the softball ace, is another cap-

tain and setter. Outside hitters and seniors Kristin Atwood and Katie Ventre possess experience. Junior Jordynne Copp, a middle hitter, had a breakthrough season as a sophomore and could be one of the team’s stars this fall. Junior Lexi Foster is the squad’s defensive specialist. Several new players will make a mark.

The rest of the league is catching up to Greely, but the Rangers, who will be playing to honor the memory of longtime assistant coach Bruce Churchill, who re-cently passed away after his battle with Lou Gehrig’s Disease (Jenn Bailey is the new assistant), have no peer as a volley-ball program and hope to add yet another championship in the weeks to come.

“We have a strong returning group that knows how to win, plus some fine newcomers to fill in the open spots,” said coach Kelvin Hasch, now in his 11th season. “It’s a matter of getting everyone to jell on the court. I expect we will be right where we need to be going into the tournament. ”

Falconsfrom page 13

The Falcons are no longer trying to catch up with the established powers. They’ve proved they can compete. Now, Freeport has to find a way to get over the hump and knock off a traditional power. The Falcons could be primed to take the next step.

“This is going to be a tough year,” said fourth-year coach Elayna Girardin. “All the teams are close. I think that the experience of making it to the playoffs last year and winning our first game has provided fuel for the team to make another appearance. This motivation will help us be successful.”

FOOTBALLFreeport won just four games total in

its first two varsity seasons and eclipsed that total in just seven games last fall, as it wound up 5-4 after a 30-6 loss to Marana-cook in the Western Class C quarterfinals.

Several returning players have received trial by fire as youngsters and hope to continue to improve this season. Senior

James Purdy is in his fourth season with the program. An all-star last year, he’ll be at quarterback. The offense will be run-heavy once again. Look for senior Dan Burke (an-other four-year starter and reigning all-star) to handle the ball on a regular basis, along with junior Joe Nixon and senior Jared Polley. Juniors Ben MacMillan and Darnel Strothers anchor the offensive line. Junior Cam Buthlay could be a lead receiving threat from his tight end position. Freeport hopes to rely on its speed to score points.

On defense, Strothers will look to hold opposing runners in check on the line. The linebacking corps features Burke, MacMil-lan, Nixon and Purdy. Buthlay and Polley will be mainstays in the secondary. The defense is used to matching up with the best players in Class C.

After last year’s postseason appearance, these Falcons are looking for even more. Freeport’s hopes of a winning record and another playoff trip are realistic.

“I had a five-year plan and we did it in three,” said fourth-year coach Rob Grover.

“I hope we can continue that success. I think we’ll get stronger as the season goes on. I think we can make another playoff run. We want to host a playoff game this year.”

FIELD HOCKEY Freeport has been as consistent as any

program anywhere over the past quarter century. Since 1985, the Falcons have only missed the playoffs on three occasions. Last year, they wound up 8-7 after a 4-1 loss to Traip in the Western Class C quarterfinals.

This year, seniors Lorin Martens and Reiley Parker anchor the defense, which figures to be the team’s strong suit. Rebecca Harrison and Tallie Martin will both see time in goal. While strong defense is great, you have to score to win. Junior Meagan Peacock will help that cause. Several other players will have a chance to rattle the cage as the season progresses.

If the Falcons get some offense, look out. They could be a team ready to climb the lad-der and turn some heads in the postseason.

“This year we have a very defensive-minded team,” said fifth-year coach Sara Dimick. “We have eight returning seniors and they play mostly in the midfield and the defensive positions. There is some great potential in our offense as well and the older players are stepping up to take on new leadership roles. The team has been work-ing very hard and we are looking forward to another exciting season.”

CROSS COUNTRYBoth Freeport cross country teams made

it to the state meet last year (the boys fin-ished sixth in Class B, the girls 13th) and hope to make history repeat.

The boys return state meet scorers se-niors Abrin Berkemeyer (30th) and Mason Cyr (49th). Junior Mark Donahue scored at the regional meet. Senior Vinnie Zolla returns from injury to help the cause. The roster features 11 seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and six freshmen, so there is plenty of depth. While there are several top foes in the conference, Freeport should be in position to return to the state meet and post another high finish.

The girls are aiming for a higher finish. Returning scorers include senior Ciera Wentworth (45th), second-team all-star junior Nina Davenport (52nd) and juniors Elly Bengtsson (68th) and Emily Jennings (74th). Juniors Bethany Knighton and Hay-ley Steckler are other strong runners. The Falcons are regular state meet qualifiers and should be back again in 2012. Look for a higher finish this time around.

“The girls have a very strong core of junior talent,” said sixth-year coach Brian Berkemeyer. “They got the last spot at regionals and have had a taste of the state meet. They now want more and are willing to work. If all goes well, they could be a top contending team. Our boys have a lot of seniors. We will need a couple of frontrun-ners to go along with the depth. If they all finish strong, then they could be the team to beat. It should be a very exciting season.”

GOLFFreeport (3-9 a season ago) hopes to

win as many matches as possible this year. Senior Nick Cartmell is the top golfer and could make some noise as an individual. Junior Spencer Drake and seniors Jona-than Mervine, Clayton Morrison and Nick Tardiff all have experience. Sophomore Wynne Cushing, the first girl to play for the varsity team, will add some depth. The Falcons should compete with several of its foes and could exceed last year’s win total if all goes well.

“We want to go out, improve every day and have fun,” said eighth-year coach Jason Lemont. “We’ll probably be middle-of-the-pack in the conference. Wynne has a chance to qualify for the girls’ tournament. She’s our first varsity girl. Nick is the most likely qualifier for the guys.”

North Yarmouth Academy PanthersBOYS’ SOCCER

NYA has certainly shown a flair for the dramatic and has demonstrated that regular season records and playoff seeding mean little over the course of the past two years. After its stunning run to the 2010 Class C state final, the Panthers again sprung upset after upset last fall before finally meeting their match at the hands of eventual cham-pion Waynflete in the regional final, losing, 3-1, to finish 9-7-2.

This year’s team has scoring punch, led by sophomore D.J. Nicholas (17 goals as a freshman), and a talented midfield crew, featuring juniors Wes Bright and Jackson Cohan-Smith (a league all-star in 2011), sophomore Duncan George and senior Oliver Silverson. Defensively, senior Jacob Scammon leads the way. Junior Austin Kidder is battling for the goalkeeping spot with freshman Camden Spear, who recently earned a slot on the U.S. Olympic Development Program Region 1 team.

NYA will suffer some early setbacks, but the Panthers will also grow and improve due to the quality of competition. NYA is only concerned with making the playoffs, not with its won-loss record. Once they get there, the Panthers have shown they can beat anyone, anywhere.

“We’re looking forward to another nailbiting season,” said fourth-year coach Martyn Keen. “Naturally, we’re desper-ate to accrue enough (Heal Points) to get

into the tournament again, where of course Waynflete will be our greatest rival. Over-all, while we are most certainly not the most talented team in the area or even in Class C for that matter, I have a very tight and enjoyable group. My job will be to get them believing in themselves and playing as an effective and cohesive unit.”

GIRLS’ SOCCERNYA (2-12 in 2011) has a third coach in

as many seasons this fall in Colin Reilly, who played at the University of Southern Maine and went on to compete with the Maine Sting and Seacoast United Mari-ners. Reilly served as Falmouth’s first team coach and currently is the director of youth

programs at Seacoast United. He inherits a team that could be poised to return back into the hunt.

Junior Chloe Leishman is the top return-er. She was a league all-star in 2011. She’ll pace the offense at her forward spot. Also looking to score will be junior midfielder Jillian Bjorn-Caron and a pair of freshmen, Emily Baker and Alex Wahlstrom. Senior Mallory Ianno has experience and will pace the defense, with help from freshman Taylor Leech. Sophomore Scout Fischman returns in goal after getting playing time as a freshman.

NYA should have no trouble improving on last year’s win total and has the capac-

ity to make a run at the postseason. Look for this program to only improve going forward. It won’t be long until NYA is back at championship caliber.

“We have a young team with a lot of potential,” Reilly said. “We look to improve upon last year’s season and begin to set the tone for seasons to come. We have great player leadership and work ethic.”

FIELD HOCKEYNYA wasn’t supposed to repeat and make

it three state titles in four seasons last fall, but even after a coaching change and los-ing several key players from the prior year, the Panthers again saved their best for last, rode the brilliance of 2010 and 2011 Fall Female Athlete of the Year Katherine Mil-lett (who was an all-conference and all-state selection) and upset Sacopee in the regional final before outlasting Winthrop, 1-0, in two rounds of penalty corners, in a palpitating state game to win it all with a 14-4 record.

This fall, several players can help fill the graduated Millett’s scoring shoes. Junior Olivia Madore had eight goals in 2011, including the one that gave the Panthers the state title. She also had eight assists. Junior Kayla Rose (five goals, including two in the Western C Final, and and four assists) and seniors Carly Lappas (two goals and two assists), Jen Brown (three goals and three assists in an all-star season) and Bailey Clock (one goal, four assists in an all-star

Yarmouth ClippersBOYS’ SOCCER

Yarmouth’s title defense ended in shock and disappointment last fall with the Clip-pers’ first quarterfinal round loss since 2001 (1-0 to Fryeburg which ended their season at 9-5-1). This autumn, Yarmouth is ready to return to form.

This squad has several players who will score goals, creating an ideal balance. Sophomore Brendan Dioli could emerge as a breakout player. Junior David Murphy has already scored big goals. Junior Ben Decker, sophomore Adam LaBrie, seniors Michael Smith and Thomas Sullivan and junior Wyatt Jackson, who was injured last year, will also help pace the offense. Senior Andrew Fochler, who saw limited time in

File photoFor the second year in a row, Yarmouth’s football team captured a Class C championship in 2011.

The Clippers, with a new coach, are going for a three-peat this fall.

2011, will replace Knaub in goal. Defen-sively, senior Drew Hughes and juniors Wes Crawford, Chandler Smith and Max Watson, who was hurt last fall, will help steer danger away from the goal.

This group will take some lumps as they find their way, but expect the Clippers to hit their stride by October. Staying healthy will be critical. If that happens, Yarmouth will be a force and will be best equipped to beat defending champion Falmouth when it matters the most.

“The kids are coming along,” said long-time coach Mike Hagerty, now in his 16th season. “I think we’re a year away from being really good, but we have the potential to be as good as anybody if the young kids

come along. They’re coming along quicker than I hoped. I think we’ll fly under the radar a little bit.”

GIRLS’ SOCCERYarmouth was a dangerous team a year

ago. Better than what was indicated by its 7-9 record (the season ended with a 4-0 loss to Falmouth in the Western Class B quarterfinals). This year’s squad could be very good by season’s end.

Senior Megan Decker was an all-con-ference and all-regional selection in 2011. She’ll be a force in the midfield along with seniors Olivia Conrad and Julie Kamei-

sha, sophomore Emma Torres and junior Ariel Potter. Top scoring threats include Kameisha and seniors Claire King and Tess Merrill. Senior Ali Merrill (an all-star last fall) and sophomore Lane Simsarian are top defenders. Sophomore Shannon Fallon got thrown into the fire in goal last year and responded brilliantly.

Yarmouth always plays hard and gets the most from its talent. Many of these seniors have played on varsity for multiple seasons and are hoping to go out in style, leading the program to the postseason for the 21st

year in a row. The younger players show great promise as well. It’s not getting the preseason buzz, but as this season evolves, look for Yarmouth to spring a few upsets and be a very difficult out by the time the playoffs arrive.

“The girls have great attitudes and work ethics,” said coach Rich Smith, now in his 26th year. “I think we have athleticism and senior leadership. We have experience in goal. We’ll get better as the year goes on. I expect to be in the mix and to give everyone a run for their money.”

FOOTBALLJust when you think the Yarmouth foot-

ball program can’t raise the bar any higher, it goes undefeated again and repeats as Class C state champion with a 41-14 vic-tory over Bucksport. That’s 24 straight victories and back-to-back Class C titles if you’re keeping track and there’s every rea-son to believe the good times will continue. Jim Hartman, who guided the Clippers to greatness, is now coaching at Portland High, but the program remains in good hands with Pingitore, who helped create the program and has been on the coaching staff since the beginning.

This year’s team is quite capable of mak-ing it three in a row. Junior Brady Neujahr is in his third season as starting quarterback. The reigning league all-star, serving under the tutelage of longtime Forecaster photog-rapher and new quarterback coach Jason Veilleux this fall, figures to throw more un-der Pingitore’s offense. He’s a very danger-ous runner as well. Juniors Matt Klepinger and Matt Woodbury will do much of the ballhandling, running behind the bruising blocking of junior Tom Lord, who moves

to fullback from center. Through the air, Neujahr will look for juniors Rhys Eddy and Nate Shields-Auble. Yarmouth’s line has been as good as anyone’s the past three seasons and will once again open holes and protect the quarterback with aplomb. That group includes senior Brandon Moody, ju-niors Jackson Barrett and Ethan Gage and freshmen Will Landry, Paul McNeill and Joe Thornton. Freshman Ryan Nason will do the placekicking.

Defensively, the Clippers never get enough credit, but this unit has created a ton of turnovers as part of the team’s success. The defensive line includes Barrett, Gage, McNeill and Thornton. The linebacking corps of Klepinger, Lord, Moody, Shields-Auble and Woodbury could be dominant. Eddy, Nason and Neujahr will be in the secondary.

The league may have closed the gap and Yarmouth may see its win streak end at some point, but despite the relative youth of the line and the graduation losses, the Clippers still have be viewed as the favor-ite. Two titles were great, but a third is this year’s goal. Yarmouth has what it takes to win it again.

“It’s been a good transition,” Pingitore said. “It’s a special group of guys. Talented and committed. In typical Yarmouth fash-ion, we have great athletes to fill holes. We won’t have the breakaway runner we’ve had before, but we’ll grind it out. The ju-nior class hasn’t lost a game since the sixth grade. It should be more exciting this year with our schedule. Our present is bright and our future is bright.”

FIELD HOCKEYYarmouth enjoyed a bounce-back sea-

son in 2011, reaching the playoffs for the

first time since 2007 (falling, 4-0, to Lake Region in the Western Class B preliminary round to finish 6-7-2). Now, the Clippers are seeking their first postseason victory since 2004 and their first winning season since 2000.

This year’s offense will be paced by sophomore Kallie Hutchinson, who made the league all-star team last fall. Juniors Lily Daggett and Emma Peterson and se-nior Carlene Shaw will also do their share of scoring. On defense, juniors Taylor Mor-rison, Sarah Oberink and Katie Overhaug all have experience in front of senior Nicole Hickey in goal. Three newcomers, junior Olivia Shay and freshmen Tory Messina and Cara Ricciardi, could turn heads.

The Clippers enter the season optimis-tic they can compete and win. Don’t be surprised if Yarmouth improves on last season’s success.

“Our goal last year was to make playoffs and we accomplished that goal,” said sixth-year coach Mandy Lewis. “This season, we’re striving to make it farther in the playoffs. With only two seniors, we are a young team, but our core group of juniors have played together for several years and are very comfortable. I am very excited to see what this group of athletes will ac-complish.”

CROSS COUNTRYBoth Yarmouth cross country teams have

the pieces in place for a memorable season.The boys missed out on states last season

(placing 10th at the Western B regional meet), but return all-star junior Braden Becker, who was 23rd as an individual at last year’s state meet, and senior Thomas Robichaud, who came in 54th. Sophomore Sam Gerkin (61st at last year’s regional meet), senior Ian Grover (84th at regionals) and sophomore Andrew Nickerson (91st at regionals) also return, as do seniors Jackson Hall and Max Murray. The Clippers aren’t a big team, but they have two top runners at the front and enough promising talent to make up a solid pack. This squad could make it to states and turn some heads once there.

“We have our No. 1 and 2 runners return-ing from last year,” said longtime coach Bob Morse, entering his 32nd season. “We

could be that spoiler team when it comes to regionals. We want to improve on last season.”

The girls’ team is coming off a 10th-place finish at the Class B state meet. Sophomore Gabrielle Beaulieu and senior Sarah Becker were both all-stars in 2011. At states, Becker came in 19th, Beaulieu 32nd. Junior Madison Hynes (41st) and senior Emma Pidden (55th) also scored last year. Seniors Brittany Elvidge and Sydney Sperber have experience. Junior Ihila Lesnikova looks to move up the pack. Several underclassmen hope to contribute. Yarmouth has a big team and some firepower at the top. A return trip to the states and a higher finish are realistic goals.

working with them. We’ll have a lot of fun. The kids have had enough of silver. They want gold.”

VOLLEYBALLYarmouth stole headlines a year ago as

it won it’s first Class B championship, 3-0, over Bucksport to cap a 13-4 season, lead-ing to a Coach of the Year nod for Jim Sene-cal. Now, the Clippers will try to do it again.

Senior Gina Robertson, a captain and outside hitter, led the team in service aces and was tops among returning players in service points in 2011. Senior Lindsay Ty-ler, another captain and defensive specialist, was the team leader in digs last fall. Junior Grace Mallett was the primary setter as a sophomore and led the team in assists, while also delivering 31 service aces. She’ll be a critical part of the squad again. Senior Kate Myers (middle hitter) is another top

server. Senior Megan Smith, a captain and opposite hitter, is new to the starting lineup and brings blocking skills and leadership. A number of new juniors will help the cause and give this team as much depth as anyone.

The road won’t be as easy for Yarmouth as several Class B teams have improved If they develop as hoped and stay healthy and hungry, the Clippers could find themselves celebrating again on the final Saturday in October.

“I would describe our team as being much deeper in talent than last year, but without any real standout players,” said Senecal. “Our defense appears to be our strength. Our offensive attack will definitely be more balanced. Our girls have a strong desire to defend our title, but they know it won’t be easy. I believe we have a chance to get there once again.”

“We have our largest girls’ team in many years,” said Morse. “We have our good No. 1 and 2 runners returning from last season. We want to qualify for states and run fast at the state meet.”

GOLFYarmouth has produced some terrific

teams in recent years (including last year’s Class B runner-up performance after a 9-4 regular season), but hasn’t gotten the credit it deserves. This fall, the Clippers might just force the local golf world to take notice by fighting their way to the top. Yarmouth has a new coach this fall in Gregg Baker, who played for the Clippers (Class of 1972) and has long worked in the golf business. He works at Martindale Golf Course in Auburn and formerly coached at the college level at BYU-Hawaii.

There are several top returners. Seniors Cal Cooper, Red DeSmith and Nick Lainey were all on the all-star team in 2011. Last year at team states, DeSmith shot 81, Coo-per 82, Lainey 86 and junior Monica Austin 96. Austin was a hit individually as well, tying for second in the girls’ state match with an 87. Junior Jordan Brown shot a 98, senior Emily Lunt 109 and junior Grace King also qualified. In the Class B boys’ individual match, DeSmith and Lainey each registered an 83, while Cooper shot a 90. Senior Matt Highland and junior Spencer Olsen, along with sophomores Ian Guinea, Tyler Hall and Ethan Perrier, add depth. Yarmouth expects to accomplish great things this autumn.

“It’s a good group of kids,” said Baker. “They’re so driven and focused. They’ve already enlightened me. I look forward to

campaign) will also figure into the mix. Lappas and senior Lillie Reder anchor the defense. Sophomore Elizabeth Coughlin, who made 103 saves as a freshman, includ-ing a ton in key spots, returns in goal.

NYA has a nice balance of five seniors, four juniors and three sophomores, along with a couple freshmen who look to add depth. The schedule will be challenging. It won’t come easily, but the Panthers are the champs until someone declares otherwise. NYA has no intention of being dethroned.

“This year’s team has 12 returning varsity players,” said second-year coach Tracy Qui-mby. “They are a positive and upbeat group who work together to improve as a unit. They are dedicated and ambitious and enjoy challenges. It should be a great season and I look forward to watching them grow.”

CROSS COUNTRYBoth NYA cross country teams are doing

their share of starting over, but both could be factors at the conference and state levels.

The boys have gone back-to-back years with no peer in Class C, but a three-peat appears to be a daunting task. Sophomore Matt Malcolm is the lone returning state meet scorer (placing 20th) and he could primed to be one of the finest runners in the region. Seniors Jake Burns and Aldis Gam-ble and sophomore John LeBlanc also have experience. Junior Jin Yao and sophomore Ian Bennett look to figure into the mix. The Panthers will improve as the season goes on and if healthy, could accomplish big things.

“After graduating six of our top seven from last year, this year’s team will defi-nitely have a new look,” said seventh-year coach Peter Sillin. “I think this year’s goals will be mostly about personal improvement and gaining experience. If the guys stay healthy, I think they’ll surprise themselves with what they’re able to accomplish. The guys are so positive and fun, I think we’ll have a great year together.”

On the girls’ side, coming off a fourth-place state finish, there are some spots to fill. Ssophomore Hannah Austin (22nd at states in 2011) is the top returner. Sopho-more Ellis Mistell also has some experi-ence. Freshman Kate Hilscher is a new runner to watch. This team will be a work in progress, but it too should show steady improvement. Qualifying for states won’t come easily, but it is possible. Whatever happens this fall will help NYA be that much stronger in 2013.

“We graduated just about everybody,”

said 12th-year coach Chris Mazzurco. “It’s a very young team, all freshmen and sopho-mores. We want to get everyone on board and healthy. We have a chance at some indi-vidual success. Qualifying for states will be dependent on health and progression rates.”

GOLFAfter not fielding a varsity team in 2011,

NYA returns to the fold this fall. The traditional contender has a new coach in Charlie Hudson, who is well known at the school as a longtime coach in cross coun-try, hockey and boys’ tennis. Senior Ryan Walters is a veteran and is joined by a solid sophomore core of Ben Ambrose, Danny Mahoney, Brad Potter and Mark Snyder. Several freshmen are also waiting their turn and could become factors during the course of the season. The Panthers look to be competitive. Just one Class C team from the conference qualifies for states, so NYA will have to have a lot go right that day. Anything’s possible, but this squad is build-ing for what looks to be a promising future.

“We had a large turnout this year,” said Hudson. “It’s a good group. We have a large group of underclassmen with ability. I think we’ll improve during the year. We might have some individuals who could qualify for states.”

VOLLEYBALLNYA (2-12 in 2011) has strong numbers,

girls who enjoy the sport and enough tal-ent to suggest the Panthers could be a dark horse and contend this fall.

Senior Grace Gilbert is a returning all-star at middle hitter/blocker. She was second in Class B last year in hitting, third in kills and fifth in blocks and serves at an 81 percent clip. Junior Charlotte Esancy, a basketball standout, is also a middle hitter/blocker. She was third in Class B in hitting and seventh in kills a year ago. Juniors Syd-ney Garcia (middle hitter) and SoHyun Jeon made marks at the JV level in 2011. Junior Lizzie Roche can do a little of everything. Sophomores Diana McLeod and Anya Siviski (setter) seek to play a bigger role.

The Panthers have their share of tough matches, but there are several favorable matchups as well, which suggests they can improve on last year’s win total and per-haps make it to the postseason. That would certainly be a huge accomplishment for this up-and-coming program.

“We love healthy competition, improving our skills, laughing and gaining valuable experience in teamwork, family, persever-ance, and risk-taking,” said seventh-year coach Nora Krainis. “We’ll make a show-ing in Class B stats for hitting and hope to make some noise in some other areas.”

Catherine Kowalsky and Megan Miller, along with new juniors Maggie Bohrmann and Taylor Russell, will also be in the scor-ing mix. Senior Caroline Lucas returns in goal. She’s faced her share of trial by fire and has passed with flying colors. Lucas will be aided defensively by seniors Bri DiPhillippo, Maddie Inlow and Angela Mallis. Newcomers Marysa Alexander and Laura Bauer will also be factors on defense.

The Yachtsmen’s strengths are their bal-ance and depth. There are several teams with a few good players, but this whole ros-ter is dangerous. Ultimately, this program is judged by what it does in the postseason and more often than not, the Yachtsmen pass with flying colors. Don’t be surprised to see this season end as so many have be-fore. With a Falmouth coronation.

“With so many returning starters, we have high expectations, but we also under-stand that this is a new season with new challenges,” said second-year coach Wally LeBlanc. “We understand that we’ll have to work hard, stay focused and constantly improve in order to meet our expectations.”

FOOTBALLFalmouth has been able to consistently

make it to the postseason, but is still seek-ing its first playoff win. Last year ended at 6-3 after a tough 12-7 loss to Westbrook in the Western Class B quarterfinals. Despite some key graduation losses, the Yachtsmen could be near the top of the heap again.

Replacing Matt Kingry behind center will be either junior Storm Covens or sopho-more Noah Nelson. Senior Alex Derhago-pian (an honorable mention league all-star last year), senior Jacob Buhelt (the track star who missed 2011 with injury) and se-

nior Seamus Powers will do the bulk of the ball carrying. Junior Justin Rogers (another honorable mention all-star last season) is a top receiving threat, along with sophomores Matt Edmonds and Jack Simonds. The of-fensive line is paced by senior Jon Walker, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs in at 275 pounds. Junior Joe Goodrich will do the punting and kicking. Defensively, senior Pat Thornton will be a key member of the line. The linebacking corps includes Edmonds and Walker. Buhelt, Derhagopian, Rogers and Simonds will be in the secondary.

While there are still several stern tests on the schedule, the Yachtsmen should once again be able to post a winning record and make the playoffs. This squad has the po-tential to do what its predecessors couldn’t. Earn a postseason win. Perhaps even more.

“We’ll get better every week,” said sixth-year coach John Fitzsimmons. “We hope to be strong by the end. I wouldn’t trade this team for any in the league. They’re hard working and cohesive and they want to get better. We just need more game experience, but I believe we’ll make the playoffs.”

FIELD HOCKEYFalmouth was, as usual, one of the most

exciting teams to watch in 2011. While the campaign ended with a disappointing 3-2 loss to Spruce Mountain in the Western Class B quarterfinals (ending the season at 9-5-1), the Yachtsmen managed to reach the postseason for the 15th year in a row. That string figures to continue.

The offense has several weapons, led by junior Leika Scott, who made the Western Maine Conference all-star team a year ago. Other players looking to rattle the cage include juniors Youngjim Kim, Mikey Richards, Jillian Rothweiler and Hayley Winslow and senior Sarah Sparks. Senior Katie Cooleen has plenty of experience and

leads the defense in front of junior Hillary Nash, who returns in goal.

It might take this team a little while to hit its stride, but look for the Yachtsmen to once again boast a winning record and be near the top of the list of playoff qualifiers. Falmouth has come close on so many oc-casions. This could be its year.

“We have a lot of players in different po-sitions this year,” said coach Robin Haley, entering her 18th season. “We don’t have one go-to person. It’ll have to be a collective effort. I think we’ll be in the mix. The girls have a competitive spirit. Last year’s disap-pointing playoff loss lit a fire under them.”

CROSS COUNTRYAfter several close calls, Falmouth’s

boys returned to the pinnacle in 2011. This autumn, both teams are eyeing the top spot.

The boys were unbeatable last year. They return state meet scorer senior Jay Lesser (13th), as well as sophomore Spencer Brown, who was 26th, but didn’t score be-cause six teammates were faster. Also back are experienced runners seniors Eric Brit-

ton, Azad Jalali and Tristan Tucker, along with sophomore Scott Lambert, who hopes to move up the ladder. Sophomore Bryce Murdick and freshmen Josh Simensky and Sean Soucy add depth. While Falmouth isn’t the powerhouse it was last fall, don’t be surprised if the Yachtsmen reach the top of the heap once more.

On the girls’ side, junior Madeline Rob-erts (25th), senior Abby Payson (51st) and senior Molly Ryan (57th) were all state meet scorers last year. Seniors Summer Greenwood, Denali Nalamalapu, Meg Palombo and Hayley Simmons provide senior leadership and depth, as do sopho-more Lizzie Cattell, new senior Geneva Waite and sophomores Alta Farrell and Ania Wright. Last season’s 11th-place state meet finish (the first time Falmouth finished out of the top 10 since 2004) was likely an aberration. Look for this group to be near the top during the regular season and at the big October meets.

Ninth-year co-coaches Jorma Kurry and Danny Paul are excited.

By Scott AndrewsThe mums are blooming, pine spills

are spilling and ferns are turning brown. Those are Mother Nature’s certain signs that summer’s end is nigh.

Maine’s arts and entertainment cal-endar has similar signs, with the most prominent being the annual Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Bruns-wick, which has been a fixture of Labor Day weekends for decades.

This year’s edition is headlined by frequent visitors from Missouri: Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. Plus there are about two dozen other artists and bands who hail from all over the U.S. and all over Maine.

Bluegrass singer-songwriter Dolly Par-ton wrote the score to “9 to 5,” the Broad-way musical that just opened at Ogunquit Playhouse. Based on the 1980 movie of the same name, Ogunquit has scored the Maine premiere. Go see it; “9 to 5” is re-ally a hoot, and a very tuneful one.

Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival

A national reputation, major-label recording contract and oodles of talent aren’t enough to score a spot on the stage at the Thomas Point Bluegrass Festival. Artists must score high on the people factor too.

That’s according to the producer, Pati Crooker. As the driving force behind one of the Northeast’s biggest, most promi-nent and longest-established bluegrass festivals, Crooker has a vast choice of artists who vie for a spot on the Thomas Point Beach stage.

Video clips, demo tapes, flash drives, CDs and media kits start piling up in her office more than a year in advance, and Crooker herself often travels to the big national conventions and showcases.

Crooker demands more than basic tal-ent. She wants bands that can do more than pick and sing with the best. She wants artists with outgoing personalities who relate to audiences both on and off the stage. “I love it when the audience can connect with bands,” she said.

Topnotch performance is essential, but Crooker said a positive people factor is equally a must-have: “Their talent has to be right up there — they have to be one of the best — but for me the bottom line is how they act offstage among the people. It’s the people performance that’s more important.”

No bluegrass artist personifies this par-adigm better than Rhonda Vincent, this Saturday’s headliner. I’ve seen her often in the past, both at Thomas Point Beach

and elsewhere, and recall that Vincent’s off-stage personality — and seemingly endless willingness to sign autographs, chat and pose for photos with her legions of fans — perfectly jibes with Crooker’s ideal artist.

An accomplished mandolinist, guitar-ist, fiddler and vocalist who hails from Missouri, Vincent grew up with blue-grass in her blood; she made her first national appearances with her family’s Sally Mountain Show as a five-year-old and she still appears with this group oc-casionally.

Vincent turned 50 last month, just about the same time that she released her latest CD, a traditional collection of gospel tunes called “Sunday Mornin’ Singin’.” Among her scores of honors, Vincent is a seven-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Associa-tion’s Female Vocalist of the Year honor, and the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America handed her its Entertainer of the Year award from 2001-2006.

And she travels with a case of road rage. Her road band, impishly titled The Rage, also boasts a trophy case of SPB-MA honors, including three instrumental awards in 2006.

Vincent and The Rage travel around the country in the iconic blue-and-white mo-torcoach owned by the Martha White Flour Company. Vincent was chosen as spokes-woman by the company because she’s an exemplar of a modern woman who epito-mizes traditional American values.

Vincent is tops among the two dozen

artists and bands who are slated to per-form. Friday’s headliner includes brother Darrin Vincent, who’s half of Dailey & Vincent, a Nashville-based duo that has charted five albums on Billboard and took home six awards at the most recent convention of the Society for the Preser-vation of Bluegrass Music in America.

Other top national acts include the Gibson Brothers, Leroy Troy and the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band and the Lonesome River Band. Della Mae, an all-female fivesome from Massachusetts has been making big waves in recent years. Snap Jackson and the Knock on Wood Players have come the farthest — from California. Acoustic Heartstrings hails from Canada.

The Pine Tree State is represented by Back to Basics, Evergreen and the Katah-din Valley Boys.

As with all alfresco music festivals, bring low-backed lawn chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. Thomas Point Beach’s choice of food vendors is always out-standing.

The festival runs day and night Friday through Sunday evening at the 85-acre Thomas Point Beach campground, a mile off Route 24 near Cook’s Corner in Brunswick. Tickets options include one-evening, all-day and all-festival passes with camping options. Call 877-TPB-4321 or go to thomaspointbeach.com on the web.

‘9 to 5’It’s not often that bluegrass and country

music artists reach Broadway, but Dolly Parton is a notable exception.

Although best known for her long ca-reer in records — more than 60 albums since the mid-1960s — and live concerts, Parton wrote the score for “9 to 5,” the 2009 Broadway musical that’s based on the 1980 movie of the same name. The “9 to 5” film was a phenomenal hit and still ranks among Hollywood’s top-grossing comedies.

A wonderful production of the stage musical version of “9 to 5” opened last week at Ogunquit Playhouse. Go see “9 to 5”; it’s a hoot. The book, by Patricia Resnick, fairly closely parallels the movie script, plus Parton wrote a slew of additional songs, several of which have become hits outside their stage contexts.

Starring Becky Gulsvig in the Dolly Parton role, Ogunquit Playhouse’s “9 to 5” is a tuneful and raucously funny show — an absolute archetype of American musical comedy.

The story line revolves around three women in an office who plot revenge on their boss, a sleazy, self-centered, lecherous, lying misogynist-malefactor. Gulsvig is joined by two co-workers, Carrie McNulty playing an office veteran, and Erica Aubrey portraying the newbie in the secretarial pool. Sally Struthers has a wonderful role as the bad guy’s right-hand woman, a sex-starved gossip and eavesdropper who earns more than her share of laughs.

“The officer didn’t read me my Miranda Rights. Doesthat mean my case will be dismissed”? This is one ofthe most frequently asked questions that I hear fromfolks charged with OUI and other criminal offenses. Theanswer varies from case to case. Here’s what you needto know:

Miranda “warnings” are only required when and ifyou are in custody. Custody means that you are beingrestrained by a law enforcement officer to a degreethat we would normally associate with “formal arrest”.Just being pulled over and asked some questions orto perform field sobriety tests is not enough. Althoughdetained, you are not in “custody” for Miranda purposes.If the handcuffs go on, you are in custody. Each case,each situation must be analyzed on its own specific facts.Slight changes in specific circumstances can change thewhole ball game.

If and when you are in custody (ultimately that is aquestion for a judge to decide), the officer must provideyou with your Miranda warnings prior to “interrogating”you. Interrogation means asking questions orengaging in any conduct that is designed to “elicit anincriminating response”. If you invoke your rights underMiranda (remaining silent, have a lawyer present forexample), interrogation must cease. Again, the courtis the final arbiter of what is interrogation versus simpleadministrative questioning. Violations of your Mirandarights are not dispositive of your case. The remedy,generally, is that the court will exclude the questions andanswers from a potential trial in your case. Further, if youinvoke your Miranda rights, that invocation can not beused against you at trial.

The failure of the officer to provide you with Mirandawarnings is just the tip of a large and sometimescomplex iceberg. For a comprehensive analysis ofthe many complex issues in your case, call me for afree consultation at NICHOLS, WEBB & LORANGER207-879-4000. You can find me in The Time & TemperatureBuilding at 477 Congress Street, Portland and check meout at www.nicholswebb.com.

NOW CLEANING COMPOSITE DECKS

“The boys will rely on new leadership for the first time in recent memory,” Kurry said. “The boys have high expectations and are eager to take on the best in the confer-ence and state. The girls will be looking to improve significantly on last year. If they stay healthy and work together, a strong finish is likely. Our goal is to be among the best come postseason and aim for a top finish at regionals.”

“I am optimistic that there is much po-tential in the newbies,” said Paul. “It will be a challenge to keep the program among the best and the fun this fall will be seeing who among several new boys and girls will contribute.”

GOLFFalmouth took its Class B title from

2010 and parlayed it into a a Class A crown last fall (after an 8-2 regular season). With nothing left to prove, the 2012 Yachtsmen could rest on their laurels, but don’t be surprised if this group makes a run at more hardware.

Junior Joe Lesniak, a reigning second-team all-star, is the only returning scorer from last year’s state meet, where he shot an 83. He’ll get help from the strong junior core of Russell Barnard, Brad Gilbert, Matt Hutcheon and Alden Weller and senior Drew Proctor. Freshman George Gilbert could make an immediate impact.

Falmouth will get a stern test from Cheverus and Scarborough in the regular season, but should find itself once again in the state championship match. The Yachts-men have the necessary ingredients to win it all once more.

“We lost four kids who played at states

Yachtsmenfrom page 21

and they’ll be hard to replace, but I’m hap-py with the squad we have,” said longtime coach Spike Herrick, our Coach of the Year last fall, who enters his 22nd season. “I’d call it a rebuilding year for us, but we have very good raw material. Best of all, they’re really good kids.”

VOLLEYBALLAfter back-to-back appearances in the

state championship match, Falmouth didn’t make it quite that far a year ago, winding up 10-6 after a 3-0 loss to Greely in the Class A semifinals.

This season, Falmouth has an experi-enced group, along with some promising newcomers who should keep it hot on Greely’s heels for the top spot. Senior Dana Bloch is a setter. Senior Danielle Li is a middle hitter. Junior Katrina Meserve is at the outside hitter position. Senior Marian Bergkamp plays a little of everything, out-side, middle, opposite. Senior Anna Hickey can play middle or opposite. Senior Natalie Kuhn is a defensive specialist. Juniors Riley Burfeind and Katie Ryan join the team this fall. They’ll make an impact, as should

sophomores Leigh Bernardy, Ally Hickey, Callie McMahon and Megan Tammaro.

There figures to be plenty of parity in Class A this year. If the Yachtsmen can avoid last year’s costly injuries, they’ll be right there as well.

“The difference in the strength of the top teams continues to decrease and all seem

capable of winning,” said sixth-year coach Gary Powers. “After graduating seven se-niors, we’ll be rebuilding. We should be in the mix if we can win a couple of matches against some of the top teams. We are hop-ing to crack that top five. I would consider us a dark horse. If everyone stays healthy, we could surprise.”

of produce including lettuce, broc-coli, cabbage, corn, buckwheat, tomatoes, beans and squash. Most of the seeds were started in a greenhouse before they arrived this summer, but the teens trans-planted them into the field – including more than 1,000 pumpkin seeds – and nurtured them into food.

The teens also learned soil manage-ment, succession, vegetable management, seed farming and how to fight against pests.

One of the biggest take-aways from the experience, aside from what they learned about farming, was learning about themselves, said Caroline Wild, 18, of Brunswick.

“Without realizing it, we learned about our leadership styles,” she said. “We re-alized how to work together and that we take charge of certain things.”

They agreed that the most rewarding part of the experience was handing out the food they had grown to seniors at a food pantry dinner early this month.

“We literally got to follow the whole path of production that day,” said Andrew Hollyday, 16, of Cape Elizabeth, noting they had harvested the vegetables that morning and then brought them to the pantry to eat later the same day.

“They were glorifying us for our beets,” said Abrim Berkemeyer, 17, of Freeport. “We could actually see where our food was going. It was good to take the initiative and see the impact on the community.”

impose a punitive fine and “hurt” Woods to send a message that he must respect town laws.

Councilors eventually referred action on a fine against TideSmart to Town Hall staff.

In other business, the question of population and property density along the Route 1 corridor also created some debate at Monday night’s Town Council meeting.

“In order to have a strong retail, pe-destrian-oriented district you really need to have both density in terms of driving population and walking population that can frequent the retail district that’s be-ing envisioned,” Councilor Tony Payne said. “Falmouth by zoning does not have that, it has not had that and it’s unlikely to have that.”

Payne said he is “kind of hanging out there on my own at the moment,” because the rest of the council supports the major-ity of changes proposed for the corridor.

“I think everyone shares a vision, as do

final say after the public hearing.Another issue to be decided has to do

with zoning; a topic that has been de-bated for many years and could allow for higher buildings and moving buildings closer to the street.

“The general theme is allowing the business district to become denser,” the CDC chairwoman, Councilor Bonny Rodden, said.

Payne said he believes residents are going to be divided about the plan, and that some have already voiced their ex-citement, but others are concerned. He also said that while he doesn’t necessarily think that the village option will work, he does think that something should be done.

“It’s not that I don’t think anything should be done, I just want to have a really clear discussion so that we have really thought through this decision,” he said. “I would love to see that kind of a vigorous retail district, but I just have a hard time when I’m confronted with the facts.” Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

Despite all the opportunities and ac-complishments they have had this sum-mer, they said their favorite part was the exhausting physical labor of throwing some 5,000 bales of hay in the barn.

“We’re addicted to it,” said Emily Har-vey, 15, of Pownal. “It was always like ‘when can we hay again?’”

In addition to growing food, the teens also had the chance to learn about other aspects of farming. They sheared and tagged sheep, learned to use specialized farming tools, trimmed hooves, built fences and drove a tractor. Hollyday even learned to drive a standard transmission.

“Agriculture is some much more than growing vegetbales,” Tadlock said. “They

learn all the skills that farmers need from carpentry to plumming to installing water lines. We try to provide an agriculture education snapshot.”

Their long summer hours are now coming to a close as the school year be-gins, but the teens will continue to work a few hours a week on the farm until mid-October to finish what they started, Tadlock said.

Although all of the teens are moving on from the program after this year, they said they will miss it.

“We really got to see every part of agriculture,” Berkemeyer said. “But, one part about getting to know the farm is having to leave.”

I, of having a pedestrian-friendly, robust retail district,” Payne said Tuesday. “It is a great thing to think about, but unless you have the underlying populations that create to conditions that make that pos-sible, you have to ask yourself do you want to make the substantial investments that would bring that into fruition without the population support.”

Councilors Chris Orestis and Teresa Pierce said the village setting the Com-munity Development Committee and some councilors envision is not neces-sarily dependent on residents’ ability to walk. A similar community feel could be created even if people have to drive, they said.

“When you talk to people in our com-munity, they’re dying to shop and dine and be in this community; they’d love to have the option first to stay in Falmouth,” said Orestis. “People are focused in, tar-geted on staying local.”

Pierce said that the plan should be fo-cused on what the town could look like 20 years from now and starting to move toward that direction.

“I think if you build infrastructure that gives people the opportunity to walk

there, ride their bike there or maybe even drive there I think that there’s opportunity here,” she said.

The proposed $5.5 million infrastruc-ture restructuring would include a land-scaped center median, wider sidewalks, cross walks, trees and could bring – if zoning changes are approved – busi-nesses closer to the road. These changes would not increase tax rates for residents, because money has already been ap-proved through tax increment financing.

The council asked the CDC to look fur-ther into the possibility of creating four-foot bike lanes along the road, which would add $1.5 million to project costs.

Voters will have the opportunity to vote on the infrastructure changes next June, if all goes according to plan.

But before any work can move forward on the actual road corridor, the council must consider two other factors.

A public hearing is scheduled for Sept. 24 to hear from residents about restrict-ing building footprints to 30,000 square feet. Councilors will ultimately have the

Planning Board meetings to allow them to get approval in one meeting,” instead of having to keep coming back, Tibbetts said, which can reduce the time, effort and money spent on gaining project ap-proval.

She said she hopes Cumberland’s new

status can “raise awareness of what we’ve been doing to make the process more streamlined and to collaborate with businesses.”

“I think it’s a good indication of the work we’ve been doing over the past couple of years,” Tibbetts said, “and it

acknowledges all that the Council and Planning Board and staff have worked hard to achieve.”Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

failed to materialize.Both properties have been under con-

tract to be sold.Copp abstained from voting because he

is related to Elvin Copp. Turner has been the real estate broker for both properties.

Explaining his opposition, Moriarty said he sees the two projects as “simply too much concentrated development in one area, too quickly, in an area that

right now would not allow development of this type.

“... I do not believe that had we ap-proached this from a more thorough land use planning perspective, that we would have arrived at a position whereby these two parcels were singled out for develop-ment of this type, this scale, this density, and so forth,” he said.

The homes would cost between $175,000 and $225,000, in a town where the median price of a home is $350,000. The lot sizes would be at least 20,000

square feet. Town Manager Bill Shane has said 20,000 square feet is the mini-mum lot size allowed under the state plumbing code, and that the lots would be served by public water, but not by a public sewer system.

The developers needed contract zoning for two reasons: VOC 1 does not allow single-family homes, although it does permit multiplexes, and the minimum lot

size is 40,000 square feet, about double what the developers sought.

One stipulation in both agreements is that the develeopers and property own-ers will make every effort to create and preserve pedestrian and snowmobile easements on the properties.

The projects could go before the Plan-ning Board for site plan reviews in Oc-tober. Greater details of both projects are expected at that time.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@
