months of meetings, legislative hear-ings and the governor’s signature, the state Department of Education will file a new version of its rule govern-

ing the use of restraints and seclusion in schools.

Five days later, the rule will take effect.

But for Deb Davis, a Falmouth mother of two who worked on the

SAD 51 board OKs school budget with 5.3% increaseBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — The School Administrative District 51 Board of Directors approved a fiscal 2013 budget Monday that reflects a 5.3 percent increase from the current year.

The Cumberland-North Yarmouth district spending plan, which now goes to two public votes, passed 6-2.

If approved, the budget could cause a tax rate increase in Cumberland of 50 cents per $1,000 of property valuation, a climb of 3.1 percent. The in-crease would be about $150 a year on a home valued at $300,000.

North Yarmouth could see a tax rate increase of between 94 and 98 cents, or about about 7.1 percent, pending final valuations. The owner of a $300,000 home there could experience an annual increase in school taxes of between $282 and $294.

SAD 51 Finance Director Scott Poulin has noted that as a percentage of the overall (state-equalized) valuation of the two communities, North Yarmouth’s increased slightly, shifting about $130,000 to that town. That town’s percentage of the total combined valuation has increased this year from 28.7 percent to 29.4 percent.

The recent growth of Cumberland’s tax base is an-other key factor behind the sharing of costs between the two towns.

The budget could rise 5.3 percent, from $28.9 million to $30.4 million. The fiscal 2012 budget, a nearly 3 percent increase over the previous year, followed three years of flat budgets of $28 million.

Bill Dunnett, who voted with fellow School Board member Bob Vail against the budget, said in an e-

New health inspection rules raise doubts about restaurant oversightBy David Harry

YARMOUTH — When town councilors meet May 17, part of their agenda will focus on a bread-and-butter issue com-ing up in many towns that have conducted health inspections of local restaurants.

A change in Maine law now requires all local health inspec-tors to have delegated authority from the state for inspections of restaurants, campgrounds, lodg-ing establishments, public pools and spas and youth camps.

But obtaining delegated state authority, or being licensed, to inspect food establishments could become much more dif-ficult if administrative rule changes by the Maine Center for Disease Control & Preven-tion Division of Environmental Health are enacted this summer.

The proposed rule changes will bring the state in line with federal Food and Drug Admin-istration standards adopted in 2009, as opposed to the 1999 rules currently in place, said

Lisa Roy, the state program manager who oversees the health inspection program.

Included in new standards are methods for testing for micro-bial contamination that veteran inspectors have not used before.

“This is a real overkill,” Anita Anderson, who has been an inspector for local health depart-ments, told Yarmouth councilors at a May 3 workshop. “Ninety-nine percent of towns in Maine

Unsung Hero: Katherine Wilson, ‘Mom’ to those in needBy David Treadwell

BRUNSWICK — Katherine Wilson spent her early years living on the family farm in Bowdoinham and helping out with chores.

“My mother instilled a sense of respon-sibility,” Wilson said. An only child, she enjoyed typical teenage activities: riding a motorcycle, going snowmobiling, playing softball, being a cheerleader.

And then came a rough patch, which lasted about 20 years. “There were lots of struggles,” Wilson said.

Getting married and divorced twice. Raising five children, most often as a single mom. Needing to rely, at times, on public assistance, including Temporary Assistance

As part of the requirements of the AS-PIRE program, Wilson spent time volun-teering at the Maine Hunger Prevention Program and at the Tedford Shelter in Brunswick, now called Tedford Housing.

Hearings coming on Freeport shellfish and taxesBy David Harry

FREEPORT — The municipal budget may take center stage at next Tuesday’s Town Council meeting, but tax breaks and shellfish licenses will also be subjects of discussion.

A new ordinance creating an excise tax exemption for active military personnel and revisions to the shellfish ordinance will re-ceive public hearings at the 7 p.m. meeting on May 15.

The tax measure would allow the town to adopt a state law that took effect Jan. 1 as a nonbinding measure. The law refers specifically to excise taxes paid on vehicles and aircraft.

Residents who are active military person-

Town Meeting warrant set in YarmouthBy David Harry

YARMOUTH — After months of review and deliberation, councilors had little more to say last week about the fiscal year 2013 budgets.

The public did not add much more in a hearing preceding a council workshop, so it took about 10 minutes to advance $32 million in school and municipal spending to the June 5 Town Meeting.

“The council is satisfied with budget explanations,” Chairman Steve Woods said before the vote.

The budget was forwarded by a 5-1 vote, with Councilor Tim Sanders opposed. The Town Meeting warrant outlining school and municipal spending items passed unanimously.

Councilor Erving Bickford, who will be awarded the 2012 Latchstring Award at the Town Meeting at Harrison Middle School, was unable to attend the council meeting.

The Town Meeting warrant contains 29 articles, including a secret ballot vote ask-ing residents to appropriate $4.6 million above the state Essential Programs and Services amount of $13.5 million for the local share of education spending.

Articles 2 through 13 summarize the “cost centers” related to school spending to reach the total of $20.16 million for the proposed school budget.

Articles 21 through 29 detail munici-pal spending. Residents will be asked to approve spending $2.26 million for gen-eral government, $2.25 million for public safety, and $2.88 million for public works while allocating $3.9 million from non-property tax revenues to fund the budget.

In total, the local tax commitment for education spending for fiscal year 2013 is $18.23 million. The proposed $10.9 million municipal budget will require $7 million in property tax revenue.

Overall, funding education, munici-pal operations and the town share of Cumberland County operations will require a tax increase of 87 cents, from the current rate of $20.28 per $1,000 of assessed vale to $21.15 per $1,000 of assessed value.

The Town Meeting will be followed on June 12 by the election for three Town Council seats, three School Board seats and one seat on the Yarmouth Water District. The referendum for the $20.16 million fis-

nel permanently stationed outside Maine or on a deployment of more than 180 days can be exempted from paying aircraft and vehicle excise taxes, but local governments most vote to enact the law.

In a memo to Town Manager Dale Ol-mstead, Town Planner Donna Larson said “the town has no way of knowing how many residents would be eligible for this exemption.”

Revisions to the shellfish ordinance scheduled for a public hearing include a new license classification, an expansion of the available number of student licenses,

and a reduction of some license fees.The revisions drafted by the seven-

member Shellfish Committee are part of the legislative effort to restore and restock local shellfish beds. Councilors have also

heard details of a $100,000 plan to protect shellfish stocks from predators as part of the fiscal 2013 capital improvements budget.

The ordinance revisions call for creating

North Yarmouth candidates vie for water district seatBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — Stephen Gor-den, seeking a second term on the Yarmouth Water District Board of Trustees, faces a challenge next month from former Trustee Guy Watson.

This will be the second time the two North Yarmouth residents have squared off at the polls. Watson, who was elected in 2006, lost his re-election bid to Gorden in 2009.

The water district serves 3,000 customers in Yarmouth and North Yarmouth.

Stephen GordenGorden, 70, is married and has five sons

and two grandchildren. He has served as na-tional vice president of corporate develop-ment for the American Water Works Service Co. in New Jersey. He was also president

of American Water Resource, a subsidiary of that company, and national chairman of the Water Utility Council.

Gorden was also director and chief ex-ecutive officer of the Detroit Water & Sew-erage Department in Michigan, and direc-tor of operations for the Portland Water District.

He also served on the Cumberland County Charter Commis-sion. Last November he was elected county commissioner in Cumberland County's new District 3, which includes North Yarmouth, Brunswick, Freeport, Gray, Harpswell, New Gloucester and Pownal.

Being retired gives Gorden time to serve on both the water district and county com-mission, he said, noting that he has been doing both.

Water district trustees recently voted for a rate increase – 14 percent in all categories, except 8 percent in public fire protection – which must ultimately be approved by the Maine Public Utilities Commission. It followed an 11 percent rate hike last year.

Gorden defended the increase, which would go into effect in July. He said it would pay for the district's new $2.25 million headquarters on Sligo Road in Yarmouth, which replaced a building on East Elm Street, also in Yarmouth.

The move has created more space for the water district's operation, Gorden said. He added that refurbishing the older building would have cost almost as much as building a new one.

The Yarmouth Water District may ulti-mately collaborate with neighboring dis-tricts in New Gloucester and Gray to keep rates down, he noted.

Gorden said he wants to use his approxi-mately 35 years of experience in the water

utility field to the benefit of the community, and "see if there (are) any doors that I (can) open to make the utility better for the citi-zen, or for the ratepayer, in this case."

If re-elected, Gorden said, one of his ob-jectives will be ensuring the utility remains "more than viable. The utility's getting to the age where we now have to replace some of its infrastructure. ... We've got some pipes that were put there (more than 100 years ago), and those are starting to cause failures and we need to ... make sure that gets handled in an expeditious and very efficient way so it doesn't impact our rates any more than it has to."

Guy WatsonWatson, 62, is married and has one

daughter and three grandchildren. He is a general contractor, currently focusing on building cabinets.

Watson was harbor master for Yarmouth and Cumberland from 1999 to 2008. He also served on Yarmouth

We Need A Measured, Common Sense Approach to Town Government

Falmouth is a great town with much to offer thanks to the many volunteers, public officials andemployees who have served her in the past. But there are challengesahead in a period of economic distress.

• Many face real personal financial hardships we should not ignore orbelittle. We need to be good stewards of public monies.

• We also need to remember the role of government should be limitedand government power exercised with restraint. Government shouldnot interfere more than necessary with personal liberty and private

property rights. It should not presume to know better than the people. It should not try to beall things to all people.

• At the same time, local government has a responsibility to continue to do well in the provisionof essential public services and quality education.

I believe we need to and can continue the measured, common sense approach of previoustown councils in the future and that my 37 years as legal counsel for numerous municipalitiesand school administrations and public service will enable me to contribute to that.

I intend to be a watchdog for the interests of all Falmouth residents, including those who mayfeel their voices are not always heard. Together we can keep our future great.

Yarmouth Water District rates rising

YARMOUTH — Water will become a more expensive commodity July 1 with an increase in Water District usage rates.

Services Capital Campaign Committee will be highlighted by the unveiling of a donor wall listing major donors who helped fund the center. The event will feature music by Matt Fogg and a champagne reception in the garden.

From 2-4 p.m. on May 20, an ice cream social will feature center tours and live mu-sic. Sundaes, root beer floats and popcorn will be served.

The Community Center at 53 Depot St. houses a thrift shop, food bank, assistance programs and a teen center.

Residential customers of the dis-trict, which serves North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, will see the basic quarterly rate for 1,200 cubic feet of water used increase from $32.83 to $37.43, district staffer Jason Blake said.

Customers who use more than 1,200 cu-bic feet of water will be charged $3.06 per 100 cubic feet used up to 800 cubic feet. There are almost 7.5 gallons of water in each cubic foot, and Blake said most district customers do not exceed the first two tiers of quarterly use.

The rate increases, which will help pay principal and interest on the district's new $2.25 million headquarters that opened last month on Sligo Road, should mean an aver-age quarterly assessment between $45 and $50 for residential consumers, Blake said.

and North Yarmouth's shellfish committee for 12 years, and on Cumberland's shell-fish commission for several years. He was also on the Cumberland Coastal Waters Commission and the Yarmouth Harbor and Waterfront Committee.

"I'm interested in doing things to ben-efit the town that I live in," Watson said,

explaining his several committee member-ships.

"I've always had an interest in the safety and the welfare of the water that's in the ground here," he said, noting that during his term he co-founded a committee tasked with finding a new headquarters for the district.

Watson said he is "very interested" in how the district is managed, and that he would like to accomplish smart spending as a trustee.

As a public utility, he said, the water district has "to spend certain amounts of money on certain things to keep the (Public Utilities Commission) happy. ... You can put some money into reserves, but you can't make a profit, so being a prudent observer of how the money is spent ... you

should be able to keep the rate increases to a minimum."

Watson said he supported the decision to move to new headquarters, but believed the cost would not be as great and that the rate increase, consequently, would not be as large.

"I certainly would have hoped for a much lesser increase," Watson said.

Cumberland should vote for Campbell

The SAD 51 School Board takes a person of intelli-gence, dedication, a steward of high-quality education, non-political, non-ego-driven and common sense.

We have been most fortunate for the past three years to have Karen Campbell to fill those requirements. Karen is a wife, mother of three, community volunteer and vice chairwoman of our School Board. Her understanding that the value of education is for each individual student and to society as a whole is refreshing. Being a mother is very much like being the CEO of life's most important business, the family. Mother is the organizer, disciplinarian, budget director and keeper of the peace.

Karen Campbell has shown by doing that she is ca-pable of continuing to lead our SAD 51 board. Please vote for Karen Campbell. Mother knows best.

ted to this place and its people, welcoming new ideas and listening to all sides and perspectives on issues. Recently, she was the key driver behind the launch of FreeportTalks.org.

Sara’s approach to making decisions is thoughtful and balanced. She has the rare ability of providing structure

for complicated discussions and moving groups toward decisions and next steps. Often, I have seen her find a creative solution that bridges different concerns.

I will be sorry to lose Sara’s leadership on the council if she is elected to the Legislature. How-

ever, she will bring much-needed leadership to Augusta, reaching across the aisle to work with everyone. She will be an outstanding state representative.

Freeport should support Norton

I am writing to endorse Patrick Norton to represent Freeport in the Maine House. I've known Pat for nearly 10 years through our connection with the doctoral pro-gram in public policy at the Muskie School at USM and he is a man of great integrity and insight. Pat was born in Maine, has lived in Freeport for 20 years, and understands local and state issues.

He is clearly the most experienced candidate in the race. Pat has 22 years on the nonpartisan Maine legislative staff, including six years as the head of the Legislature's Office of Policy and Legal Analysis. He understands how to get things done which is really important in the current partisan atmosphere. The lack of experience among new legislators usually makes them ineffective for the first session or two, so Pat's long experience with legislation means he can hit the ground running, which is really important with the current upheaval in Augusta.

Dench, Anderson for Falmouth council

Thank you to Councilors Will Armitage and Fred Chase for their greatly appreciated service on the Town Council. I am writing to endorse Bryan Dench and Russ Anderson as persons who would fill those seats with the same commitment to Falmouth’s present and future prosperity. Both candidates support first-class schools and public services, well-balanced economic develop-ment and fiscally sound decisions. Their individual backgrounds are well suited to council work.

I personally appreciate their disposition towards weighing the attributes of a candidate or project versus just voting party line. Falmouth needs councilors who can galvanize members of all parties, engage those who feel disenfranchised, help mitigate fractures when they occur, and who place a premium on caution when it comes to spending taxpayer money.

Please consider making a call to these candidates before casting your vote.

SAD 51 budget deserves voters’ support

After teaching language arts in Dutchess County, N.Y., for over 25 years I retired to Maine. A drawback is that my New York State teachers retirement is taxed in Maine. However, the overwhelming benefit is living close to my family here. SAD 51's many faithful vol-unteers in local schools is an indication of true commit-ment to education for pupils of all ages.

High student participation in Greely sports and mu-sic programs complements their advanced scholastic achievement. Greely students' acceptance to so many outstanding colleges results from their hard work and accomplishment combined with an outstanding educa-tional system. Evident here also is strong involvement in community and recreation programs, including many for adults. How proud we can be of such qualified, dedicated education.

Be present to vote yes at the SAD 51 public budget meeting June 7. Then affirm the positive vote at the Cumberland and North Yarmouth polling places on June 12.

Carol D. HulstCumberland

Anderson for Falmouth town councilor

I urge my fellow Falmouth citizens to vote for Russ Anderson for Town Council.

Falmouth needs councilors who are passionate about further strengthening our great community, business savvy with a leadership track record, fiscally conserva-tive, socially progressive and fair-minded, and good listeners with strong analytic skills who can be decisive when the time comes to take a stand.

I've known Russ well for almost 20 years in different capacities at various times: family friends, members of

a Falmouth church community, business colleagues at UNUM, and advocates for the MS Society, when Russ was the Maine Chapter's CEO and I was a board member. So I can enthusiastically vouch for his integrity, his passion for Falmouth, his business skills, and all the

other qualities listed above that are necessary to repre-sent our town very effectively. Russ is a great candidate; please join me in voting for Russ on June 12.

Gideon in Freeport Democratic primary

I am writing in support of Sara Gideon for state representative. I am a college student at the University of Maine, and I plan to make a life here. I have known Sara and her family for nine years. Sara shows a genuine interest in the health and happiness of the people she meets, as well as that of our community and environ-ment. I have always known her to be a busy woman; she pursues what is important to her and gets things done. Sara is friendly, attentive, optimistic, honest, selfless, and has the drive that is required in order to make Maine a better place to live and work.

I was not surprised when Sara announced her candi-dacy, as I think she is the right woman for the job. Please vote with me for Sara Gideon for Democratic candidate for state representative in District 106.

Kate BreauFreeportPraise for Cumberland

lawmaker’s positionI am writing to thank Rep. Meredith Strang Burgess,

R-Cumberland, for recognizing that the minority report to LD 1810, the regulatory “takings” bill in the Legis-lature, rightly deserved to be in the minority and was not a good public policy solution to the question of how to improve Maine’s land use laws. If enacted, the minority report to this bill would have created a costly government bureaucracy and weakened our ability to insure that use of Maine lands doesn’t unfairly impact neighbors and the quality of Maine’s environment.

I have been told that our hard-working representative came under intense pressure from an army of lobbyists to support the problematic minority report to the bill. Instead, Rep. Strang Burgess listened to her constituents who asked her to review the unwanted consequences of similar legislation enacted in other states (passed and repealed in at least one) and urged her to oppose the minority report. She deserves our thanks.

The majority report to LD 1810 is a bipartisan and workable compromise that would establish a legislative committee that would review land use laws for their fair-ness. I hope Rep. Strang Burgess will stand her ground

in her considered opposition to the minority report when the issue comes back to the House after Senate action on the measure.

Beem bites the hand that feeds I cannot understand why once again Edgar Allen

Beem is allowed to use The Forecaster as a vehicle for his anti-capitalist views in his rant about Mitt Romney and “Corporate America.”

I would have to guess that the Sun Media Group, owner of The Forecaster, is one of those evil corpora-tions. And I have to assume that Mr. Beem doesn’t write his column for free.

If you were to check the companies that advertise in The Forecaster, the ones that provide the source of revenue for Mr. Beem’s pay check, you would most likely find that a majority of them are corporations. Why they continue to advertise in a newspaper that al-lows one of its writers to continually slap them in the face is beyond me.

Beem obviously does not understand how businesses in America operate because the corporations are the providers of jobs, and the payers of taxes. But in his opinion it’s OK to criticize and demean some corporations as being evil, while he continues to work for one that derives a major-ity of its income from a variety of corporations. And no one seems to mind.

America is such a great country.Peter Williams

Mahoney for Falmouth Town Council

l write to support Sean Mahoney for one of the seats on the Falmouth Town Council. As a long-time resident of Falmouth, I have witnessed first-hand Falmouth’s growth and the changes that have come with it, particu-larly along Route 1. It is my understanding that we are at another moment when Falmouth has the opportunity to shape how Route 1 is further developed. I believe that Sean has the necessary skills; he has proved to be a consensus builder and a creative problem solver, with appreciation for a vibrant economy and commitment to a healthy environment to help guide that development. Please join me in supporting Sean for Falmouth Town Council.

Vote for Porter in Cumberland I am extremely pleased that Jeff Porter is running for

the SAD 51 School Board. Jeff is a lifelong resident of Cumberland, a former town councilor, and active community supporter. Not only has Jeff previously at-tended SAD 51 Schools, he presently has children in the system. For nearly 40 years I have been fortunate to be one of Jeff’s friends, and I can attest to his genuine-ness and desire to do what is best for our community. The town, schools, and many others have benefited by all of the time he has given. Jeff’s leadership, his com-munity service, and his support of education make him an outstanding choice for SAD 51. Please join me in supporting Jeff Porter’s candidacy for School Board.

Bill HansenCumberland Center

Porter for School Board in Cumberland

I write to enthusiastically support Jeff Porter for the School Administrative District 51 Board of Directors.

A lifelong Cumberland resident and father of five Greely students, Jeff served 12 years on Cumberland’s Town Council, three as chairman. He’s also put in countless hours coaching Cumberland sports teams, with my children among the many

who’ve enjoyed playing for “Coach Porter.” I worked with Jeff while serving on town advisory boards, and was impressed by his ability to master complex issues, craft effective and creative solutions, and build consen-sus around even the most contentious issues. He’s an innovative and independent thinker, and not afraid to ask tough questions. These qualities, which made him such an effective councilor, will be a tremendous asset on the School Board. Jeff’s depth of experience and re-cord of independence and accomplishments make him a thoughtful and informed voice who will work tirelessly for our community and its children.

Put aside ideology in Falmouth elections

In six weeks there will be an election to select two new members of the Falmouth Town Council, an incum-bent and open seat on the School Board, and approval of the school budget. We have very capable people run-ning for these positions, and the school budget has been discussed and analyzed in open forums since February.

There are four candidates for the two Town Council seats. Each brings different personal backgrounds, professional experience and political ideology to the equation. It is important to look into each candidate and understand who they are and what their election would mean to how we establish the priorities of our town. My first year as a member of the Town Council has shown me the importance of temperament and willingness to reach consensus regardless of political or personal views in accomplishing our goals. I encourage voters to elect members to the Town Council who will put the good of the town ahead of personal beliefs or ideology so we can

Gideon should represent Freeport in Augusta

Sara Gideon is the right person to represent Freeport in House District 106. Sara dedicates her time and skills to the Freeport Town Council, Freeport Community Services, and RSU 5, where she volunteers in class-rooms, supports field days and student council voting, and serves breakfast. Sara is involved because she cares passionately and her volunteerism gets her closer to the issues that she wants to dedicate her professional career to as a legislator.

continue to operate in almost unanimous consent on the issues that impact us all.

For the School Board, we have two unopposed can-didates running for the two seats. It is important to remember that the school budget is on the ballot and voters will need to approve it. The Town Council unani-mously supports this budget and continuing to provide a level of education that ranked Falmouth “the No. 1 town to live and learn in America.”

Town Councilor Chris OrestisFalmouth

Sara has a deep sense of integrity as well as intellect that both serve her well in understanding issues, com-municating ideas and bringing people together. Her time spent at USA Today in business development gave her experience of merging tough relationships successfully. Sara takes an issue, explores paths of resolution, listens and excels at making decisions that are important, and often, difficult.

Sara Gideon is who I want in Augusta representing me, my family and my community.

Sandi Amorello

One mother of a SundayAs I sit here beneath the glow of the so-called “su-

permoon” (which from my particular venue looks suspi-ciously like the non-super moon I’ve grown to know and love) I find myself once again amazed by the plethora of entertaining subject matter that fills my life.

My writer’s heart is torn between three topics: Mother’s Day, mothers moving daughters out of college dorm rooms, and the merit of justified libel suits against social media bullies.

As they say on Sesame Street, “one of these things is not like the other,” so I will save the misfit topic and focus on the motherhood thing for now.

So, Mother’s Day is once again upon us. But another thing that is upon us is the end of the spring college semester, and mothers (especially single mothers) ev-erywhere are out in force – bagging, boxing and stuff-

ing into vehicles the often frightening, disturbing (and sometimes moldy/unidentifiable) contents of their chil-dren’s dorm rooms. I had the pleasure of this experience today, and I can tell you it did not inspire within me a sappy verse to be featured on the inside of a Hallmark card. OK, perhaps there were one or two syrupy thoughts, but believe me when I tell you they were short-lived.

I think you already know my views on commercial-ized, sentimental holidays of all varieties: I whole-heartedly do not support them.

Sure I treasure the maca-roni necklaces my children gave me in elementary school. What mother doesn’t love to wear macaroni? My own mother kept the Mother’s Day necklace I made for her out of disproportionately large clay beads – a necklace normally only sported by Wilma Flintstone or possibly Barbara Bush – until it disintegrated decades later. I’m pretty sure she even wore it to brunch.

And certainly I get misty-eyed reading the cards written with crayon on now-slightly-faded construction paper. I mean, the entire holiday is concocted to make us weep. To foster amnesia surrounding the 96 hours of labor, poopy diaper changes, week-long stomach viruses, nights of colic and our hair turning all shades of gray in emergency rooms at 2 a.m.

Of course, the Hallmark fantasy does occasionally come to fruition, and it’s a day of sweetness and but-terflies and wildflowers and gourmet waffles in bed.

But this is the exception, not the rule.There have been years (during both my marriage and

my widowhood) when all I’ve wanted for Mother’s Day was an appointment with a 29-year-old masseuse named

Eduardo. Or a room at a hotel in a child-unfriendly city. Or a trip on the space shuttle.

Admittedly, as my children have grown, Mother’s Day has changed. Whether it’s for the better remains to be seen. They can now happily cook an edible breakfast for me, although the point is lost because, as teenagers, they are waking up to prepare breakfast just as I’m ready to eat dinner.

This year, tragically, work is preventing my being with my wonderful children on the day of maternal bliss. And although Charles has already attempted to lay a guilt trip on me, I’m not buying it. When he gave me his patented “this will damage me for life” gaze, I reminded him that last Mother’s Day I was abandoned by my adoring children and left to fend for myself.

Guilt is a four-letter word and any mother who falls for that manipulation should receive a gift certificate for a therapy session.

If today’s dorm-moving experience was my Mothers’ Day preview, then I think I’m off the hook. As I worked up a proper motherly sweat, jamming bags of dirty clothing and Fruit Loops and art projects and books and platform shoes and cacti and who knows what else into our vehicle, Ophelia was kind enough to remind me that I could conceivably be repeating this process another 22 times before my children’s college careers are over.

This news depressed me severely and I am now think-ing of making plans to abandon ship on Father’s Day, too.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of my partners in motherly crime. Hang tough. And remember, macaroni – not dia-monds – are a girl's best friend.

Call it the Center for So-What ReportingBy Edgar Allen Beem

The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting is a good idea that just hasn’t panned out yet. I was going to say I can’t tell you how disappointed I’ve been in MCPIR, but I guess I can and I’m going to do so right now.

An independent, nonpartisan investigative journal-ism organization supported by media partners (includ-ing The Forecaster) and foundation grants is a great idea because the decline of print journalism and journalism in general has meant that fewer and fewer newspapers have sufficient staffs to undertake long, investi-gative projects. Pro-Publica is the national model for nonprofit journalism, but it was too much to hope that MCPIR would measure up to ProPublica.

MCPIR is a mom-and-pop news shop run by the husband-wife team of John Christie, former Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel pub-lisher, and Naomi Schalit, former Maine Public Radio reporter and Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel opinion page editor. Launched in 2009, MCPIR has produced several series of investigative reports, the majority of which have left me asking the same ques-tion: “So what?”

It’s not the lack of real consequence that bothers me so much about MCPIR as it is the strange, conser-vative line of inquiry it has taken. I recently heard an interview in which Schalit talked about being brought up to champion the underdog. Maybe so, but MCPIR hasn’t done so yet. Like I said, I didn’t expect Pro Publica, but neither did I expect the "Maine Heritage Policy Center for Public Interest Reporting." Many of the major center projects would look just as at home on the Maine Heritage Policy Center website as on the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting website.

My first major disappointment was MCPIR’s series on the state pension “time bomb,” an alarmist report made to order for deficit hawks. Buried deep in the story was the truth of the matter, that the pension

“crisis” is an artificial one caused by a legislatively imposed deadline. Pension crisis? So what? Change the deadline.

Then there was the MCPIR expose of the Maine Green Energy Alliance. When the alliance realized that its strategy for weatherizing homes wasn’t working, it said so and gave the remaining money back. So what?

Next was the big state ethics probe that revealed that some former legislators had ties to organizations that received state funding. Nothing illegal, mind you. But MCPIR is all about appearances. Unless the agencies in question, Goold Health Systems and Shalom House being the most prominent, were not qualified to receive state funding, so what?

And now comes MCPIR to indict the University of Maine System for giving jobs to several former mem-bers of the Baldacci administration. Again, I say, so what? Were these people unqualified? Were jobs cre-ated for them or were they hired into open positions? Would we really rather advertise them nationally and give Maine jobs to some stuffed shirt from Sacramen-to? All appearance, no substance.

With working-class people, women, the poor, the elderly, minorities, school children, immigrants, state employees, educators, environmentalists and just about any group you can name other than sunshine patriots and corporate stooges under attack from right-wing conspiracies fronted by the American Legislative Ex-change Council, Maine Heritage Policy Center, and the LePage administration, there are plenty of underdogs out there to be championed. That’s why it ticks me off that the Pine Tree Watchdog has turned out to be such a conservative lapdog.

To put it another way, Christie and Schalit seem content to write parking tickets for bureaucrats while drunk drivers in Augusta are running over the state’s most vulnerable citizens and running roughshod over the environment. They consistently ask the wrong questions about the wrong stories.

Two of my old bosses, former Maine Times editors Matt Storin and Jay Davis, are on the MCPIR board. Maybe one of them should join the center’s staff. A good editor could make a big difference.

So far, MCPIR hasn’t.Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in

Help Maine postal workers fight hunger

Once again, the National Association of Letter Car-riers and the U.S. Postal Service are hosting Stamp Out Hunger, the nation’s largest single-day food drive. AARP and AARP Foundation will sponsor this amazing opportunity. Together, we can make a big difference by donating non-perishable food items that will help many of our friends and neighbors. The truth is one person going hungry in Maine is one person too many.

Last year, an AARP Foundation report revealed that hunger among older Americans has jumped nearly 80

percent in just 10 years. Here in Maine, the news is no bet-ter. In each of the categories measured in

the report, Maine fared very poorly when compared to other New England states. In some cases, Maine had the worst statistics for the entire Northeast region.

I hope everyone will participate in Stamp Out Hunger on May 12. Here’s how it works: Letter carriers across the country will collect non-perishable food donations from their postal customers at the same time as they de-liver the mail. (You can also drop off food at your local post office). The letter carriers – in some cases with the help of volunteers – will then deliver these donations to a local food bank or pantry. Households nationwide will be alerted to the opportunity to participate in this food drive through a postcard or bag delivered to their home. This is a terrific and easy way to help those in need in every community across the state. Together, we can stamp out hunger in Maine.

Is your mower ready to mow?James Blair Goodbody, 78

YARMOUTH — James Blair Good-body, 78, died May 2.

He was born Nov. 13, 1933, in New York City. He was a proud graduate of the Kent School, Williams College and the University of Michigan Law School where he was an assistant editor of the Michigan Law Review.

Between 1965 and 1972, he worked in Washington, D.C., as a partner in the investment firm Goodbody & Company. After a brief stint as vice chairman of the National Finances Committee for Sen. Ed Muskie's presidential campaign, he moved with his family to Cumberland Foreside, where he opened a small bro-kerage office and became involved with the Portland Society of Art. He tirelessly served the society as a trustee and direc-tor.

After his retirement, he continued to dedicate himself to education as a trustee at Gould Academy and was active in the school's fundraising and strategic plan-ning.

Goodbody loved his family and friends as well as banjo, bluegrass music and bridge. He spent his last years residing at Bay Square Assisted Living in Yarmouth.

He is survived by his former wife, Bar-bara Morris Goodbody; daughter Bridget Goodbody; sons Robert and Jim Good-body; and grandchildren Ben, Abigail, Marcus and Hanna.

A public service will be held at 11 a.m. May 11 at the Foreside Community Church, 340 Foreside Road, Falmouth.

Richard Patrick Ford, 71: Hardworking, loyal mentor and friendFLORENCE, S.C. — Richard Patrick

Ford, 71, died on April 27.Ford was born July 22, 1940, to Patrick

and Helen Ford of Glens Falls, N.Y. He graduated from St. Mary's Academy in

1958 and then from St. Bonaventure Uni-versity in 1962. He went on to work for the Kimberly Clark Corporation for 37 years as a sales representative and district manager, and retired in 2002.

He loved playing golf and was a longtime member of the Val Halla and the Sabal Trace golf associations. He enjoyed playing golf with his sons and was looking forward to golfing with his grandson, Brady.

For years he was an avid fan of all his children's and grandchildren's sports events and other activities. When he was in school, he was a gifted basketball player and passed his love for the game to all three of his children.

Ford was a hardworking and extremely loyal man who was always there for his family and friends, not only as a husband, father and employee, but as a role model and mentor.

He and his family were communicants of the Parish of the Holy Eucharist.

Ford is survived by his wife of 46 years, Kathleen; his children, Richard and his wife, Jennifer, of Little Ferry, N.J., David and his wife, Kellie, and their children, Hannah and Brady, of Newburyport, Mass., and Colleen and her husband, Ian, and their children, Caroline and Michael, of Westwood, Mass.; broth-er John and his wife, Virginia, and their children, Carolyn and Patrick; and several nieces and nephews on his wife's side.

Visiting hours were held on May 3 at Lindquist Funeral Home in Yarmouth. A funeral was held May 4. Burial will take place in Holy Cross Cemetery, Yarmouth, at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ford's name to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Jimmy Fund, P.O. Box 849168, Boston, MA 02284 or to the Val Halla Scholarship Fund, 1 Val Halla Road, Cumberland, ME 04021.

Gladys Archibald Hager, 92FALMOUTH — Gladys Archibald

Hager, 92, died May 1 at her home after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease.

She was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, the daughter of John Geddie and Cora Blenkhorn Archibald. She was two years old when her family moved to Amherst, Mass., where her father took a job as a research professor at Massachusetts Ag-ricultural College.

Hager attended schools in Amherst and was valedictorian of her graduating class in 1937. She went on to study English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. While in school she was best known for her many activities in music, playing ma-jor roles in operettas and as a member of the Statettes, the women's quartet.

She married Myron Hager in May 1942. After a year of teaching in Shell-burne Falls, Mass., she joined her hus-band at his several U.S. Army posts. In 1946, they settled in Guilford, Conn., where he took at teaching position in a local high school.

While caring for her children she spent a lot of time organizing the community's PTA and helping direct church choirs. In 1955 the family moved to Portland.

In 1957 she accepted an appointment as the Latin Teacher at Falmouth High School, a position she held until her retirement in 1976. During the time she was teaching, she earned her master's degree in classics at Tufts University.

Through the years, she continued to participate in music groups, including the Choral Art Society, the Magic of Christmas Chorus and the Surry Opera Company.

In 1997, after Falmouth's sister town in Kentucky suffered great storm damage, Hager organized a program of material assistance to the town. The "Blue Skies" program collected, loaded and delivered a trailer truck filled with goods and re-construction materials.

Hager was predeceased by her sister, Jean MacKimmie, of Vermont; brothers William Archibald of Istanbul, Turkey, and George, who died in childhood.

She is survived by her husband of 70 years, Myron; brother John Archibald of Malabar, Fla.; sons, William and his wife, Susan, of Windham, and Stephen of Flor-ence, Ore.; daughter, Marjorie Baker and

her husband, John, of Stafford Springs, Conn.; grandchildren Dexter Hager of Windham, Julie Morse and her husband, Stephen, of Woolwich, and Jennifer and Daniel Baker of Connecticut; great-grandchildren Acadia, Amelia, Michael, James, Kurt and Katarina; and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at 11:30 a.m. May 18 at the Falmouth Con-gregational Church, 267 Falmouth Road. Interment will be held at 11 a.m. May 19 at the Brookside Cemetery in South Deerfield, Mass.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Memorial Fund of the Falmouth Congregational Church, 267 Falmouth Road, Falmouth, ME 04105.

Unsung Herofrom page 2

a position she held for more than six years. A self-described “people person,” she en-joyed working at the convenience store, but something was missing in her life.

“I needed a change. I wanted to get back to the people I could help,” she said. And

some of the people she could help were go-ing through their own rough patches, living temporarily at Tedford Housing.

So Wilson got a job at Tedford in 2006, first on a per-diem basis and later as a full-time employee.

“I love it,” she said of her current posi-tion as adult shelter team leader. Her du-ties run the gamut: cooking meals, doing

intake on new residents, helping develop comprehensive care plans for residents, buying food and other supplies, ensuring a safe environment, and doing whatever else needs to be done.

“I’ve worked my way right up at Ted-ford,” Wilson said with justifiable pride. “I have a way with people. I help them feel good about themselves. I show them re-spect, and they show me respect right back. I’m like a mother hen. Sometimes they call me ‘Mom.’”

Wilson noted that Tedford Housing ex-pects the residents to follow rules. There’s zero tolerance for alcohol or drugs. All resi-dents are expected to be at the evening meal on time. Meetings are held on Tuesday nights to discuss problems and issues. And every resident is expected to be working on an individual plan to improve his or her life and living situation. Everything is handled on a case-by-case basis.

According to the mission statement: “Tedford works to end homelessness in

Maine by providing in collaboration with others shelter, housing and services to those in need. We work to help people be-come more self-sufficient and advocate for change so that no one faces the prospect of being without a home.”

Tedford Housing’s adult facility includes beds for 19 people (15 men and four women). The ages of the residents range from 18 to 70 and older. The typical stay is 30-50 days, although circumstances might require some residents to stay longer. No one is turned away, if there is room.

Tedford also runs a family facility in Brunswick and supportive facilities in Bath, Lewiston and Auburn. In addition to support from the state and the United Way, Tedford relies upon the support of individu-als and area restaurants and supermarkets.

Although she’s proud of the impact she’s having on people in need, Wilson doesn’t accept the “hero” label.

“I’m not a hero,” she said. “I’m just a typical person trying to make it.”

At the same time, she knows she’s right where she wants to be.

“I’ve found my calling,” she said. "Ted-ford is my home away from home.”

Falmouth track dedicated to longtime coachBy Michael Hoffer

The Falmouth High School track program has enjoyed no shortage of greatness over the years.

Throughout the decades, Yachtsmen runners, jumpers and throwers were positively influ-enced by longtime coach Warren Wilson.

Monday afternoon, prior to a home meet, the school’s track was dedicated in Wilson’s name.

“Warren Wilson has taught and coached young people in our system for most of his life,” said Falmouth head outdoor track coach Danny Paul. “More impor-tantly, he has positively influenced thousands of students. We and the students have benefited immense-ly from his efforts and dedication over the years. I’ve watched War-ren connect with student-athletes in wonderful ways. He has been and is today, a positive force for our programs.”

Wilson began teaching physi-cal education at Falmouth Middle School in 1966. He started the first cross country and track teams at the school and also coached baseball. After leading Falmouth Middle School to several confer-ence titles, Wilson became the cross country and track coach

Amber CronIn / For The ForeCAsTerLongtime Falmouth track coach Warren Wilson was honored by School Superintendent Barbara Powers Monday as the school’s track was dedicated in his name. Wilson was joined by family members, former and current athletes and the

current group of Yachtsmen runners, jumpers, throwers and coaches.

Spring sports season hits midway point(Ed. Note: For the complete

Greely-Freeport baseball, Yar-mouth-Cape Elizabeth boys’ la-crosse and Falmouth-Waynflete girls’ lacrosse game stories, with photos and box scores, please visit theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

The spring sports season is known for its brevity and even though it feels like it just started, the regular season is rapidly dwindling.

Most teams have already played at least half of their schedule and it’s time to start thinking about qualifying for the postseason and playoff positioning.

Here’s a glimpse at what’s transpired in recent days and what’s to come:

Baseball – Rangers still untouchable

Greely’s baseball team remains unbeaten, but the Rangers finally got a test Monday. First, Greely was a 10-1 winner at Wells last Wednesday, as Bailey Train threw a three-hitter and Will McAdoo doubled, tripled and drove in three runs. Monday, at home against resurgent Freeport, the Rangers trailed 1-0 after two innings, but took the lead for good with three

at Falmouth High in 1981 and coached through 1997, even serv-ing a short stint as athletic director in the process.

Overall, including a return stint as an assistant, Wilson coached for over 45 years.

Wilson is currently a volunteer assistant with the indoor track team and is an outdoor coach, along with Paul, Jorma Kurry and Mark Campbell.

Falmouth School Superinten-dent Barbara Powers received an abundance of tributes to Wilson, from athletes who competed in the 1970s through the present day.

“He was obviously a great coach, but what I remember most was his relaxed personality, dry humor and most importantly, his fairness,” said David Timothy, FHS Class of 1984. “I just learned he’s still coaching track. I want to

say I’m surprised and shocked, but I’m not. He’s always given everything to kids at Falmouth. How lucky I am to count myself as one!”

“Coach Wilson is a wealth of knowledge both on and off the track and was one of my greatest role models throughout my time at Falmouth High School,” said Kellen MacDonald, who gradu-ated in 2010.

Those excerpts and many oth-ers were read at the dedication Monday, which came as a surprise to Wilson.

“One of the cool things was all the former athletes who showed up,” said Paul. “Also, many teach-ers and coaches who worked with him over the years. What I thought was terrific is we were able to surprise him. He had no idea. His children and grandkids were here from as far away as Arizona.”

The ceremony concluded with the official pronouncement that the track will now be known as the Warren Wilson Track.

“The plan is to paint in large letters on the main stretch: WAR-REN WILSON TRACK, so if you are in the stands you look down and see it,” Paul said. “We presented him with a plaque acknowledging the recognition at yesterday’s ceremony. One of the jumpers he currently coaches, (junior) Grant Burfeind, did the announcing.”

Falmouth then went out and did what it does best, winning both the boys’ and girls’ meets against Cape Elizabeth and Poland with ease.

The boys got wins from Jacob

unearned runs in the third. After the Falcons got one back in the fourth, Greely scored once more in the sixth and went on to a 4-2 win behind a strong combined pitching effort from Jonah Nor-mandeau and Mike Leeman (who struck out 12 Falcons, seven of them looking).

“I’ve been struggling to get a rhythm all year,” said Nor-mandeau. “Today, I just felt not rushed, but I wasn’t myself at first. The second and third innings, I felt good. That fueled me to fin-ish up.”

“It’s the first time we’ve trailed all year,” said Greely coach Derek Soule. “It was good for us to have to experience some frustration and have to grind it out. We’ve been on a roll for five games now. You have to experience those feel-ings. Freeport surprised us. They scrapped and hung in there.”

The Rangers improved to 6-0 and were second to Morse in the Western Class B Heal Points standings as of Tuesday morning. Greely was scheduled to go to York Wednesday, hosts Yarmouth Friday (at The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach at 7 p.m.), goes to Gray-New Gloucester Monday

and visits Yarmouth Wednesday.Freeport was coming off a

6-5 home win over Old Orchard Beach and a 5-0 loss at Gray-New Gloucester last week. Against the Seagulls, Kaleb Farmer got the win in relief, Dan Burke cracked a three-run home run and Luke LaMagna hit a two-run double. Monday, the Falcons got an RBI single from Josh Weirich and a strong pitching effort from Sawyer Williams, but they were done in by four errors.

“(Sawyer) did a great job,” said Freeport coach Hank Ogilby. “He’s got sneaky speed. He’s not super fast, but he has a couple different sliders. They break late and catch people by surprise. (Greely’s) a tremendous hitting team. They were just a little sur-prised by the late break. I wanted to win the ball game. You get rid of those three runs and it’s a dif-ferent game. Three runs in that inning were all unearned.”

The Falcons (5-2 and seventh in the Western B Heals) hosted Traip Wednesday and welcome Poland Friday. They’re at undefeated Falmouth Saturday, welcome Cape Elizabeth Monday and visit Wells Wednesday.

“We have two tough ones with Falmouth,” said Ogilby. “We have Cape again. Yarmouth gift-wrapped the first game (we played) and they’re crushing the ball these days. They’ll want a piece of us. It’s rough the rest of the way. We’ll have our hands full. I want us to be a little bit tougher when we show up to a field. We

show up a little casual. We’ve never started 5-0. Knowing how to play and gear up regardless of the competition, they need to work on that. That’s our goal the rest of the way.”

Falmouth improved to 5-0 and fifth with a 6-0 win at Gray-New Gloucester last week and an 8-2

home victory over Lake Region Monday. Against the Patriots, Connor Murphy threw a six-hit shutout, Will D'Agostino hit a three-run triple and Andrew Emple singled, doubled, homered and drove in three runs. In the win over the Lakers, Thomas Fortier earned the win, while Grayson Beressi, Seamus Powers and Drew Proctor all had three hits. The Yachtsmen were at Poland Wednesday, host Wells Friday and Freeport Saturday, go to Yarmouth Monday and re-turn home Wednesday to face Poland.

Yarmouth has come alive after a slow start. The Clippers extended their win streak to five games with recent victories over visiting Poland (15-4, in five in-nings) and host Fryeburg (6-0). Against the Knights, Chester Jacobs got the win and Ryan Cody, Eamon Costello, Nick Lainey, Bryce Snyder and Caleb Uhl all had multiple hits. In the win over the Raid-ers, Lainey (six innings) and Snyder (one) combined to throw a one-hitter. Costello, Calvin Cooper and Max Grimm all had two hits as Yarmouth improved to 5-2 (sixth in Western B).

"It's good basic baseball right now," said Clippers coach Marc Halsted. "Our pitch-ers are throwing strikes and competing, we have a good defensive group that makes plays, and we're getting timely hitting. We don't have guys throwing 85 miles per hour and we're not hitting three-run homers, but we're solid right now. Bryce is playing an excellent third base and Calvin has evolved into an excellent catcher. He throws ex-tremely well and keeps other teams honest. Our seniors have also come alive. Max had two hits Saturday, Ryan is four for his last seven, Eamon is hitting .350 and Snyder has 14 RBI. It's a true team effort. We have a group of good, solid, hard-working and dedicated baseball players and it's been a fun two weeks."

Wednesday.Softball – Rangers keep winning

Greely's softball team is keeping up with its baseball counterparts. The Rangers enjoyed recent wins at Wells (7-1) and at home over Freeport (11-2) in recent ac-tion to improve to 5-1 (second to Leavitt in the Western Class B Heals). Against the Warriors, pitcher Danielle Cimino got the win with a four-hitter and also homered. In the win over the Falcons, Cimino got the victory behind 13 strikeouts, Mykaela Twitchell homered, Caroline Hamilton had three hits and Edith Aromando drove in three runs. Greely was at York Wednesday, hosts Yarmouth Friday, visits Gray-New Gloucester Monday and plays at Yarmouth Wednesday.

Speaking of the Clippers, they've lost five straight after a 2-0 start. Last week, Yarmouth was beaten by visiting Poland (10-6) and host Fryeburg (11-0). Kallie Hutchinson had a two-run double, while Melissa Levinson doubled twice and drove in two runs against the Knights. The Clip-pers (14th in Western B) went to Cape Eliz-abeth Wednesday, visit Greely Friday, host Falmouth Monday and Greely Wednesday.

Freeport fell to 2-4 with the loss at Gree-ly. The Falcons were coming off a 3-1 loss at Gray-New Gloucester Saturday. Leigh Wyman only allowed three hits against the Patriots. Helen Humphrey had a pair of hits in the loss to the Rangers. Freeport (16th in Western B) was home with Traip Wednes-day, hosts Poland Friday, goes to Falmouth

Saturday, welcomes Cape Elizabeth Mon-day and visits Wells Wednesday.

Falmouth is 1-4 (17th in Western B) after recent losses at Gray-New Gloucester (4-0) and at home to Lake Region (4-3). Elizabeth Walker had two hits against the Patriots and drove in two runs versus the Lakers. The Yachtsmen went to Poland Wednesday, host Wells Friday and Freeport Saturday, go to Yarmouth Monday and play host to Traip Wednesday.

Five divers from Southern Maine Diving, including Falmouth Middle School's Charlotte Janelle and Falmouth High's Ryan Conley and Nicola Mancini, have qualified to compete at The National AAU Junior Olympics Championship, to be held in Huntersville, N.C, from July 26-31. The five divers who qualified include the four high school Maine State champions and a middle schooler.Left to right: Tyler Goulden, of Thornton Academy, Tori Leonard, of Kennebunk, Southern Maine Diving coach Jay Manigault, Janelle, Mancini, Conley.

dominated visiting Lake Region, 18-1, last week and improved to 5-1 (now first in the Western B Heals) Monday after an 11-7 win at North Yarmouth Academy, in a rematch of last year's state final. Against the Lakers, T.J. Gilbert had four goals, David Goodrich three. In the win over the Panthers, Mitch Tapley had four goals and Charlie Fay put the team ahead to stay in the final period. Falmouth was at Wells Wednesday, hosts Deering Saturday and has a pivotal, Heal Points-rich rematch at home against Cape Elizabeth Wednesday of next week.

Greely entered the week 4-1 and third in Western B after last Wednesday's 16-2 home romp over Wells (Paul Witte had seven goals, Cooper Allen added three). The Rangers were at Cape Elizabeth Tues-day, go to York Thursday, host Kennebunk Friday and visit Freeport Tuesday of next week.

In Eastern B, Yarmouth, after a week off, hosted Cape Elizabeth Saturday. The Clip-pers played a man down due to penalties much of the first half and trailed, 5-3, at halftime. The Capers pushed their lead to 8-4 after three quarters, but Yarmouth twice pulled within two before Cape Elizabeth held on, 12-8. The Clippers got three goals from Anders Overhaug and 13 saves from Alex Kurtz as they fell to 2-2 on the season.

"Our boys played really well man down for most of the game," said Yarmouth coach David Pearl. "I think we matched up. There were times when the momentum see-sawed back and forth. I'm proud of the boys. We were right there."

The Clippers (fifth in the Heals) hosted Freeport Tuesday, go to Lake Region Thurs-day, welcome Portland Saturday and visit Fryeburg Tuesday of next week.


"I think things are coming along," Pearl said. "At times, we've played with the top teams and we're determined we can beat them. We get another chance at both (Cape and Falmouth) and hopefully we get a third chance at one of them. When we step on the field, we think we can win. We're just bound and determined to get better."

NYA beat visiting Fryeburg, 17-0, last Tuesday (Forrest Milburn had four goals, while Oliver Silverson added three). Mon-day's 11-7 home loss to Falmouth dropped the Panthers to 3-3 (sixth in Eastern B). Jacob Scammon had four goals. NYA goes to Gorham Saturday and hosts Yarmouth Wednesday.

Freeport began the week 1-4 and ninth in the region. Last week, the Falcons got in the win column with a 8-1 home victory over Fryeburg. Freeport lost, 9-1, at Waynflete Saturday in a game it played man-down much of the way, giving up five goals in that manner.

"We are a big penalty team, I'm realiz-

ing,” said Falcons coach Geoff Arris. “We didn’t have one man down in the second quarter and we had moments of

brilliance. It’s really tough with the num-bers. The numbers we do have are very young. We have a handful of seniors. We have two freshmen starting. It’s turning around. Now we’re playing together. Hopefully we’ll pick up the momentum.”

Freeport was at Yarmouth Tuesday, vis-its Windham Saturday and is home with Greely Tuesday of next week.

Girls’ lacrosse – Falcons making noise

Freeport’s girls’ lacrosse team con-tinues to turn heads. In a season where defending Class B champion Yarmouth and perennial power NYA have both started slowly, the Falcons have won four straight to improve to 4-2 (good for the top spot in the Eastern Class B Heals). Last week, Freeport rallied to win at Greely, 12-11, rolled at Fryeburg, 17-5, and doubled up host Windham, 10-5. Against the Rangers in the rain, the Falcons trailed, 10-3 in the first half and 11-5 at the half, but they scored all seven goals in the second half and got the winner from Alex Mitch with 1:19 to play. Mitch scored six times (and collected nine ground balls), while Julie Fosberg had three goals and a game-high 14 ground balls. In the win over the Raid-ers, Mitch had three goals and four as-sists, while Becca Lane also scored three times. Against the Eagles, Mitch led the way with five goals. Freeport was home with undefeated Waynflete Tuesday, wel-comes South Portland Saturday and visits Cape Elizabeth Tuesday of next week.

Yarmouth dropped to 0-5 after Friday’s 14-6 loss at Cape Elizabeth (Ricki Pierce did have four goals). The Clippers hoped to get in the win column Tuesday when they hosted Wells. After welcoming rival NYA Thursday, Yarmouth (tied for fifth in the Eastern A Heals) plays at Gorham Saturday and hosts Fryeburg Tuesday of next week.

NYA is also 0-5 after Friday’s 12-7 home loss to Wells (Katie Cawley had three goals in defeat). The Panthers (tied for fifth in the standings) goes to Yarmouth Thursday, hosts Massabesic Saturday and is home against Waynflete Tuesday.

In Western B, Falmouth took a 4-0 record and high hopes into Friday night’s home showdown against Waynflete. The Yachtsmen had never beaten the Flyers and still haven’t, as an early 7-1 deficit was too much to overcome. Falmouth did rally within 7-5 and was close in the second half, but ultimately fell, 13-10, despite two goals each from Vanessa Audet, Alex Bernier, Megan Fortier and Geneva Waite.

“We started out slow and they started out fast and strong,” said Yachtsmen coach Robin Haley. “When we play Waynflete, Waynflete always brings their ‘A’ game. We just struggled in the mid-field and on defense early on. It’s tough to get back those goals when it’s that type of score. I’m glad we came back and got within two. We stayed in it. The dif-ference is we kept our heads. We didn’t succumb. That speaks volumes to what we can do if we keep working hard.”

Falmouth (third behind Waynflete and Cape Elizabeth in the Heals) was at Fryeburg Wednesday, hosts Western A contender Kennebunk Saturday and is home with York Tuesday.

“We’ll make some adjustments for the next game,” Haley said. “It’s a bump in the road. This was a good test. I wanted to see what we had and there were areas we need to improve on. I’m really proud of the fight we gave. To get a little bit of a sting is helpful.”

Greely fell to 1-3 after the 12-11 home loss to Freeport. The Rangers got three goals each from Meg Finlay and Paige Tuller and a pair from Julia Mitiguy. Audrey Parolin had eight ground balls. Greely (sixth in the Western B Heals) went to Cape Elizabeth Tuesday and to York Wednesday. After playing at Waynflete in a playoff rematch Thursday, the Rangers are home with Windham Friday and play host to Wells Tuesday of next week.

TrackWhile the big track news Monday

came in Falmouth (please see story), there was plenty of excitement to go around in Forecaster Country.

Freeport, NYA and Yarmouth took part in an 11-team meet at Sacopee Monday. In the boys’ meet, the Panthers were third, Falcons fourth and Clippers fifth. Freeport got a win from Taylor Saucier in the 800 (2 minutes, 8.20 seconds). NYA got victories from Rudy Guiliani in the two-mile (10:32.30), Cam Rayder in the discus (133 feet, 2 inches) and its 3,200 relay team (8:43.40). Yarmouth’s Lucas Davis took the 100 (11.6 seconds), Ben Decker won the mile (4:45.40).

On the girls’ side, the Falcons came in third, the Clippers were sixth and the

Out & About


‘Best of Broadway’ is Portland’s best showBy Scott Andrews

As the middle of May approaches on the calendar, the fall-winter-spring phase of the year’s arts and entertainment offerings is drawing to a close. But there’s still plenty of time to catch a few quality acts.

Portland’s biggest event of the weekend happens Saturday: the “Best of Broadway” fundraiser for the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center. This annual event has been a personal favorite of mine for years.

The Public Theatre of Lewiston-Auburn is wrapping up its 2011-2012 season this weekend with a fully professional production of “On Golden Pond,” Ernest Thompson’s wonderfully warm play about growing old on a Maine lake.

The Midcoast Symphony Orchestra wraps up its season with a pair of concerts this weekend in Lewiston and Topsham.

In a preview of summer, the Portland Chamber Music Festival presents its annual off-season concert on Friday in Freeport.

‘Best of Broadway’Why mess with success? When a fund-

raising event such as the annual “Best of Broadway” consistently connects with au-diences and clicks at the box office, there’s no need to change the successful formula. Now in its 21st annual edition, the “Best of Broadway” song-and-dance show earns about $35,000 for a terrific cause: The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center.

As readers of “Out & About” know well, I’ve been going to “Best of Broadway” nearly every year since the inception and I count it among my personal favorites.

The show is co-directed by the husband-wife team of Steve and Jane Filieo of South Portland, and their formula hasn’t changed much over the years: Assemble a few dozen actors, actresses, musicians and dancers from all over southern Maine, then create a stirring Broadway revue of about two dozen hits.

All the performers are volunteers who give up many hours of their time to rehearse the show, beginning in February. The for-mat revolves around an ensemble of five men and five women, all veterans of Maine musical productions.

This year’s ensemble comprises Todd Daley, Larry Jones, Jeremiah Haley,

Mike Genovese and Ellen Crawford star in the Public Theatre’s season-ending production of "On Golden Pond," Ernest Thompson’s warm play about growing old on a lakeside camp in Maine.

Kammy Marcotte, Jennifer McLeod, Marilyn Minsky Melton, Bethann Renaud, Tim Salce, Karen Stickney and John York. Two dance companies join forces for the evening, Maine State Ballet and Portland Ballet.

Kim Block and Doug Rafferty, known for their years at WGME, are co-hosts. Beth Barefoot, another “Best of Broadway” veteran, is music director.

I love the Filieos’ eclectic selection of numbers and shows. Old-time Broadway shows include “Babes in Arms,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “I Do! I Do! and “She Loves Me.” Newer classics include “Hairspray,” “Drowsy Chaperone,” “Jekyll & Hyde” and “Lion King.”

There’s one 7:30 p.m. performance May 12 at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

‘On Golden Pond’One of the most moving plays of modern

times is Ernest Thompson’s “On Golden Pond,” a 1979 Broadway depiction of an

elderly couple’s summer at their rustic lakeside camp in Maine.

It’s especially poignant, with many per-sonal connections for many people in this state. On a personal note, my parents spent 58 happy summers at their Golden Pond in Oxford County.

The Public Theatre of Lewiston-Auburn is ending its season with a wonderfully warm, fully professional (Equity contract) production of “On Golden Pond.”

I loved this show in all its many aspects. Two veterans of the Public Theatre, both familiar faces on television and movies, have the lead roles. Mike Genovese plays the 80-year-old retired professor, a lov-ingly curmudgeonly and acerbically witty character. Ellen Crawford (his wife in real life) plays his longtime wife and mother of their one child, daughter Chelsea, played by Beth Hylton.

Longstanding generational conflicts pro-vide the emotional horsepower that drives the stage drama, and James Alexander provides the wonderfully evocative set, complete with pine paneling, hand-me-down furniture, broken screen door, fishing paraphernalia and other emblems of casual summer living in the Pine Tree State.

Catch this show at The Public Theatre (corner of Maple and Lisbon in Lewiston) at 7:30 p.m. May 10-11, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. May 12 and 2 p.m. May 13. Call 782-3200.

Midcoast Symphony OrchestraThe Midcoast Symphony Orchestra

wraps up its 2011-2012 season this week-

end with concerts on Saturday and Sunday. Maestro Rohan Smith will conduct the orchestra, and he’s invited oboe virtuoso John Ferrillo to be the MSO’s guest artist.

Ferrillo, best known as a first chair player with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will play the demanding solo part in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Oboe Concerto in C Major. It’s an elegant, melodic piece that shows the virtuosic potential of this wood-wind in a cheerful, gallant style.

Two other works are on the program. Igor Stravinsky’s “Petrushka” is a bril-liantly colorful, acerbic and rhythmically riveting ballet score. Some of the tunes are reminiscent of Russian folk material, but everything is exaggerated, often to a point of grotesqueness. Stravinsky’s overall idea is to portray Old Russia as exotically color-ful and deliciously chaotic.

Leonard Bernstein’s overture to “Can-dide,” a 1956 Broadway musical, boasts sparkling orchestration and witty rhythmic play.

The program will be presented twice: May 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Franco-Ameri-can Heritage Center at St. Mary’s Church in Lewiston and May 13 at 2:30 p.m. at the Orion Performing Arts Center at Mt. Ararat Middle School in Topsham. Call 846-5378.

Portland Chamber Music Festival

Over the course of two decades, the Portland Chamber Music Festival has es-tablished itself as one of Maine’s foremost summer events. So why has artistic direc-tor Jennifer Elowitch slated a concert for mid-May?

One good reason is that May is National Chamber Music Month. All over America small ensembles and performing arts orga-nizations are scheduling special concerts to mark the occasion.

This Friday’s concert features five mu-sicians: Elowitch and Gabriela Diaz will play violin, with Stephanie Taylor on viola and Marc Johnson on his 1730 Stradivarius cello. New York clarinetist Jo-Ann Stern-berg will be the lone non-string player. Composers include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonin Dvorak, Rebecca Clarke and Charles Wuorninen.

Clarke is currently enjoying a posthu-mous revival, spearheaded by the Massa-chusetts based Rebecca Clarke Society. The British-born composer lived her later years in New York. Wuorninen is a contemporary American and a Pulitzer Prize winner who currently lives in New York.

The Portland Chamber Music Festival is also straying from its namesake city for this concert, which is slated for 8 p.m. May 11 at the Freeport Performing Arts Center, 30 Holbrook St. Call 888-702-7730.

a new "senior" commercial shellfishing license issued at no cost to residents or nonresidents who are at least 70 years old. For every senior license issued, a residential commercial license would also become available.

Fees for recreational shellfish licenses for seniors will be waived as well.

Available student licenses for residents between ages 12 and 22 would be tripled from three to nine under the proposed changes. Fees for the licenses would be re-duced from $100 annually to $25 annually. A nonresident student shellfishing license is also available, and its fee could be reduced from $200 annually to $50.

Students obtaining the licenses must show they are attending school and spend at least 10 hours helping survey clam flats. College students holding student licenses must show a course load of at least 12 credits per semester.

do not get into these standards.”Anderson said certification require-

ments to obtain state-delegated authority are driving experienced local inspectors out of the business.

In the past, local inspectors worked with state inspectors when needed, and Anderson said a lack of inspectors could harm the industry and its regulation.

“They are very comprehensive and very complicated,” Roy said about the proposed rule changes she expects will be reviewed at a public hearing in Augusta next month.

Local inspectors will not have to pay for training to be certified as state inspec-tors, Roy said, but the training provided by two state inspectors requires 25 in-spections accompanied by an FDA-cer-

tified inspector and 25 solo inspections with inspection records reviewed by the training officer.

Anderson disagreed with Roy’s inter-pretation, and said her reading of the proposed regulations shows local inspec-tors will have to make 37 inspections accompanied by a FDA-certified inspec-tors. Getting certified to work in one geographic area will be difficult because there may not be enough restaurants in the area to fulfill the certification require-ments for inspectors, she said.

The state has already delegated au-thority to inspectors in Portland, South Portland, Lewiston and Auburn. South Portland Code Enforcement Officer Pat Doucette said local inspectors will learn about the new standards as part of their routine training.

Some towns, including Scarborough, Freeport and Cape Elizabeth, have en-

tirely or largely left health inspections for eating establishments to state inspectors. In Yarmouth, councilors are expected to discuss eliminating the local victualer’s ordinance and annual $50 license fee charged to business owners because the fee included local inspections.

“Let’s get out of the victualer’s license business altogether,” Town Manager Nat Tupper recommended at last week’s council workshop.

In neighboring Brunswick and Bath, local health inspections of restaurants have ended, even as the inspectors sup-ported new health standards.

Bath Code Enforcement Officer Scott Davis said the training to earn state li-censing to inspect eating establishments is so demanding it can’t fit into the work-load of local code inspectors, so it is eas-ier to let state inspectors carry the load.

He wondered if the state now has enough inspectors to meet the goal of inspecting each eating establishment at least once every two years.

“It is a noble goal,” Davis said. “I ques-tion if they have the resources.”

Brunswick Deputy Fire Chief Jeffrey Emerson has been conducting health inspections for six years, but said he will now only be inspecting for fire safety.

“The process through the state is at this time too significant of a workload for us to undertake,” Emerson said. “If there are health issues we are aware of, we will turn them over to (the Department of) Health and Human Services.”

The new state rules also affect the own-ers of eating establishments, who are now required to designate a “certified food protection manager.” Bed-and-breakfast establishments with fewer than six rooms and places serving food for 14 or fewer days each year are exempt from the re-quirement enacted in January.

Dick Grotton, president of the Maine Restaurant Association, said he welcomes the new rules.

Grotton said he does not worry about a lack of inspectors and had not heard of new restaurants having any difficulties in opening because of delayed inspections.

“We need to be more knowledgeable about codes and FDA regulations,” Grotton said, noting the requirement for a food protection manager was delayed for a year to allow restaurants time to comply.

The certification requires one or two days of intensive training, he said, and the association has arranged training ses-sions for its members and nonmembers.

Grotton urged restaurant owners to take the training and designate someone with authority to manage food safety.

“It is not rocket science, it is very straightforward stuff,” he said. “Owners need to be able to walk through a kitchen and know when things are right or not right.”

Grotton said he has reviewed the proposed health standards revisions, and supports the idea of a conforming standard so owners will not be faced with trying to satisfy two sets of licensing requirements.

Emerson, in Brunswick, agreed with the need for conformity, but said he worries about the immediate future of inspections.

“I understand what they are trying to accomplish,” he said. “It is unfortunate it can’t be accomplished in a way to keep more eyes pointed at public safety.”

ments about what the state used to call “therapeutic restraint.” She gathered the information after discovering that her son had been restrained repeatedly at school, and then joined the effort to force the state to change the way it defines and documents the use of such tactics.

“I probably will stay with this issue for a long time,” Davis said. “I’m kind of driven now.”

Davis and other parents and student advo-cates say that the new Chapter 33 – the rule governing restraints and seclusion – is a dramatic improvement over the old version. They also say it isn’t far-reaching enough.

“It’s a tremendous step in the right direc-tion,” said Diane Smith Howard, a Maine at-torney now working with the National Dis-ability Rights Network in Washington, D.C.

Howard said nine states have no regula-tions at all regarding the use of restraints. “I’m glad Maine has what it does,” she said. “But it’s not even enough.”

The major changes to Chapter 33 include clearer definitions of restraint and seclu-sion. It jettisons the previously used term “therapeutic restraint” in favor of “physical restraint.”

“It’s confusing for schools to call it ‘therapeutic,’ because it’s not,” Davis said. Being held down by school staffers, even when necessary to protect themselves or others from harm, can be traumatic for a student, she said.

Restraintfrom page 1


She believes her son, now a second-grader at Falmouth Elementary School, suf-fered from a form of post-traumatic stress disorder after being restrained by staff.

The changes to Chapter 33 limit the use of restraints and seclusion to situations in which “a student presents imminent risk of injury or harm to the student or others” and where less intensive interventions been unsuccessful.

The previous version also allowed schools to use those methods to stop a student from damaging property; under the new rule that is not sufficient justification to restrain a child, Deb Friedman, the state Department of Education director of policy and programs, said.

The new rule also strengthens the com-plaint process for parents – no such process had even been required under the old rule – and ensures that incidents involving re-straint or seclusion will be followed up with debriefings for staff and students involved. It requires school staff to revisit their tactics if a student is restrained three times in a school year, Friedman said.

On the whole, “I think there’s more of a preventative element to (the new Chapter 33) and I think that’s a good thing,” she said.

But the stakeholder committee that crafted the new version was cut short by the legislative time line and collectively had to prioritize its goals, Davis said. That left some sections of the rule weaker than she and others would have liked.

She is still worried about the safety of se-clusion rooms, and thinks they should be in-

cluded under fire safety and building codes.In some sections, “I wanted more power-

ful wording,” said Scarborough mother Jude Herb, who also worked on the committee to write the new version.

Herb said that she wished the rule ex-plicitly banned holds known as “prone restraints,” which typically involve holding a student face down on the floor. Prone restraints can injure students, and in some national cases, students have died after be-ing restrained.

Instead, the new version of Chapter 33 states “no physical restraint may be used that restricts the free movement of the diaphragm or chest or that restricts the airway so as to interrupt normal breathing or speech.”

It’s a matter of semantics, perhaps, but Herb said that in this case, the “wordy” document is clearer in its intention than in its language.

While the new rule requires schools to document incidents and report on their frequency at the school, district, and state levels, it is less clear what will happen with those reports, or whether they will be used as “problem-solving” tools, Davis said.

And exactly how the rule will be en-forced is still fuzzy, Howard said. “I think right now what we have is not clear enough in the enforcement piece,” she said.

If a child is injured at school, or if there is belief the regulations weren’t followed,

she said, there isn’t a clear requirement for a Department of Education investigation.

“The rules are much better than they were, and children will be much safer than they were, but I do have concerns about enforce-ment. What good are regulations if there’s no way to enforce them?” Howard asked.

Though the issue has had some public discussion thanks to the legislative process and an award-winning series of articles published by The Forecaster beginning in 2010, some school districts still struggle with the use of restraints.

“In Brunswick there have been incidents where restraint has taken place and noti-fication has not been timely,” said Ginger Taylor, the founder of a support group for parents called Greater Brunswick Special Families. The issue is more often discussed among the parents in the group this year than in the past, she said.

“I know there are a lot of parents that are very concerned,” Taylor said.

As Chapter 33 becomes the official guideline over the coming months, student advocates like Davis will see whether the re-visions are effective. They hope their efforts will make for noticeable improvements.

The drives to Augusta, payments for gas and child care, all-day meetings and hun-dreds of hours of personal research were worth it, Davis said.

“I’m so proud of it, and honored to be part of it and see that I helped pass this law,” she said.

mail Tuesday that if the spending plan passes as proposed, “spending will have increased by almost $2.3 million over two years when our student population has declined.”

Dunnett said the district faces a rev-

enue shortfall of at least $1 million for fiscal 2014, before any new contractual obligations are considered.

“Projections continue to show declin-ing school enrollments,” he said. “There is no real expectation of significant ad-ditional funding from state or federal sources. Basic economics would indicate this trend is not sustainable. I believe the taxpayers should have an understanding

of how the district intends on maintaining a balance of high academic performance and affordability to the community.”

Vail said Tuesday that “the pot’s empty. We’ve got to do things differently.” He advocated pooling resources between communities to increase cost efficiencies.

Cumberland and North Yarmouth residents will vote twice on next year’s spending plan, first at a town meeting-style gathering at Greely High School in Cumberland at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 7. A budget validation referendum follows on Tuesday, June 12.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@
