Over top cop’s objection, council OKs liquor license for West End restaurantBy William Hall

PORTLAND — After unusu-ally extensive discussion that drew comments from every councilor and testimony from the chief of police, the City Council Monday night approved replacing a notorious West End night-spot with a restaurant run by an alleged drunken driver.

The council voted 7-2 to ap-

prove an application by Peter J. Verrill Jr., 36, of Falmouth, to serve liquor at a high-end restaurant he’s planning at 231 York St.

But because Verrill has been convicted of several crimes and faces charges following a New Year’s Eve arrest for allegedly operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, his appli-

cation was a controversial one.“A (liquor) license is a privi-

lege, not a right, and I don’t think Mr. Verrill has dem-onstrated the character to be granted one,” said Mayor Mi-chael Brennan, who voted with Councilor Ed Suslovic to deny the license.

The approval of licenses is

School Board chairman: Budget cuts put Portland schools at riskBy William Hall

PORTLAND — The School Board chairman Monday night told the City Council that the city’s schools are approaching a crossroads.

“Sooner or later, Portland Public Schools must be able to compete,” Jaimey Caron said in a State of the Schools report. “And as the superintendent has said, we can’t simply cut our our way to higher student achievement.”

The report was the second since 2010 City Charter amendments required such an address.

This one lauded the recent hiring of School Super-intendent Emmanuel Caulk, touched on challenges resulting from state budget curtailments, and mentioned

Proposed school budget would hike taxes 4%By Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — Despite the potential of a nearly $1 million curtailment in state funding, the school super-intendent is proposing a 3.5 percent budget increase for 2013-2014.

Superintendent Emmanuel Caulk presented a $98.9 million budget for the next fiscal year at the March 12 School Board meeting.

His spending plan preserves the district’s core aca-demic programs, but there would be a significant impact on taxpayers.

The proposed budget would lead to a nearly 4 per-

Firefighters take on Hurricane Sandy ‘disaster fatigue’By William Hall

PORTLAND — Nearly five months after it made landfall, Hurricane Sandy continues to affect thousands of people still trying to rebuild their homes, com-munities and lives in hard-hit areas of New York and New Jersey.

But Maine Helps, a coalition of Port-land firefighters, businesses and volun-teers, is working to bring storm victims much-needed supplies – and the public can join the effort.

On Saturday, each of the city’s eight fire stations will be collecting donations of building and cleaning materials, as well as non-perishable food and pet sup-plies.

The public is being asked for items including paint, paint brushes and rollers, utility knives, work gloves and goggles, brooms, and even small hand sprayers that will dispense bleach to remove mold from storm-damaged homes.

The goods will be shipped to relief distribution centers in the New York City area by trucks and crews from Bisson Moving & Storage Co. of Westbrook.

Maine Helps is timed specifically to overcome “disaster fatigue” – the lapse in emergency relief that often occurs when immediate dangers have passed, but longer-term needs remain.

“Disasters, of course, have an imme-diate response phase, and there always

is an outpouring of support in the days following an event,” Fire Chief Jerome LaMoria said Friday. “But victims often face lengthy delays before they can even get back to into their homes to assess damages and begin repairs, and as the weeks and months pass, the relief sup-plies begin to dwindle just when some of the harder work begins.”

Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast Oct. 29, 2012, killing 48 people in New

York and 12 in New Jersey. Although Maine escaped the brunt of the storm, thousands of residents of Long Island, the New York City boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn, and the New Jersey shore were left homeless. Sandy caused more than $75 billion of damage, the second-costliest hurricane in U.S. history, after Hurricane Katrina.

The impact of the storm was com-pounded by a February blizzard that

brought more than 2 feet of snow, freez-ing cold and near-hurricane-strength winds to areas that were already devas-tated.

Those areas include places such as the Rockaway peninsula of Queens, long a popular home for New York firefighters and police officers.

The coincidence of disaster striking disaster-responders isn’t lost on Maine Helps. In fact, the coalition is an out-growth of an earlier Maine-New York relationship formed in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

One of the organizers of Maine Helps, Russ Williams, is director of the 9/11 Family Camp, which offers families of the attack victims free, week-long stays at Camp Kieve-Wavus on Damariscotta Lake in Nobleboro. Knowing that many of the families were also affected by Sandy, Williams wanted to help.

“There were three of us in the Damar-iscotta region, and we got together and ran a Sandy relief truck back in Novem-ber. We took 10 days, filled a 48-foot trailer, and that was the beginning,” he said Friday, as another truck prepared to bring supplies to New York.

The November trip also got the atten-tion of Kevin Hogan, a retired New York fire lieutenant who now lives in Falmouth with his wife, a Portland native.

“Because I’m not down in New York anymore, I wanted to help friends and the people I protected for 20 years,” said

WILLIAM HALL / THE FORECASTER

Meeting to address accident-plagued intersection near USMBy William Hall

PORTLAND — A City Council com-mittee will tackle two issues Wednesday that may mean big changes for the city’s University neighborhood – or as it may someday be known, the Education Dis-trict.

The Transportation, Sustainability and Energy Committee will give feedback on proposed traffic reconfiguration at the congested, six-legged intersection of Falmouth Street and Brighton and Deering avenues, near the University of Southern Maine.

In addition, the committee will get an update on a new system of wayfinding signs that will guide drivers throughout the peninsula, and could also include the University neighborhood.

The Falmouth-Brighton-Deering in-tersection has long been a trouble spot for the city.

The junction brings together two arteri-als, Brighton and Deering avenues, with Falmouth Street, which carries heavy traffic to USM. Vehicles sometimes have to queue up 100 feet before the traffic lights, or are left stranded in the broad intersection when a signal changes. Stu-dents and pedestrians are everywhere, but often have to hop-scotch from corner to corner, hitting a crosswalk button each time.

The mess creates confusion and con-gestion – as well as an accident rate 17 percent higher than typical for the inter-section’s traffic volume, according to the city. The state Department of Transporta-tion designates the area a “high-accident location.”

Last year, the city began studying alter-native designs for the intersection, with the help of funds from the Portland Area Comprehensive Transportation System. Based on a series of public meetings, five concepts for the reconfiguration were developed; two were vetted and refined further.

One concept calls for the creation of vehicle roundabouts at the intersection and at the smaller intersection of Deering Avenue and Bedford Street, a block away. The other concept would add sets of traf-fic signals at each intersection.

Both schemes would eliminate the por-tion of Brighton Avenue that now runs between Bedford and Falmouth streets.

In response to feedback from the com-mittee last November, city planners have provided more detail about possible changes in rights-of-way for neighboring properties, as well as the costs involved.

The traffic-signal concept would cost about $1.3 million to implement, accord-ing to a memo from the city. The round-about concept would have construction costs of $1.5 million.

Planners are recommending the round-abouts, while residents have expressed mixed feelings. For its part, USM is tak-ing a hands-off approach, although it has already promised to provide $250,000 to help fund whatever improvements are made.

“(The university) didn’t want to seem as if we pushing our weight around,” USM Public Affairs Executive Director Bob Caswell said last week at a meeting of the University Neighborhood Orga-nization. “We’re for any solution that

comes from the public process.” Besides a new traffic route, new signs

may also someday be an addition to the University neighborhood.

Last year, the city began developing a new system of vehicle way-finding signs that would replace the aging and some-times inaccurate ones that now guide motorists.

Consistent, recognizable color coding will be used to guide drivers to six dis-tricts within the city: the East and West Ends, downtown, the waterfront, Bayside and Parkside. Other signs will direct travelers to popular sites and cultural at- FILE PHOTO

Take Advantage of Higher IRA Contribution LimitsPresented By Edward Jones

For the first time since 2008, contribution limits have risen for one of the most popular retirement savingsvehicles available: the IRA. This means you’ve got a greater opportunity to put more money away foryour “golden years.”

Effective Jan. 1, you can now put in up to $5,500 (up from $5,000 in 2012) to a traditional or RothIRA when you make your 2013 contribution. And if you’re 50 or older, you can put in an additional$1,000 above the new contribution limit. Over time, the extra sums from the higher contribution limitscan add up. Consider this example: If you put in $5,000 per year to an IRA for 30 years, and you earneda hypothetical 7% per year, you’d wind up with slightly over $505,000. But if you contributed $5,500 peryear for those same 30 years, and earned that same 7% per year, you’d accumulate almost $556,000 —about $51,000 more than with the lower contribution limit.

Keep in mind that if you have invested the above amounts in a traditional, tax-deferred IRA, you’llbe taxed on your withdrawals at your ordinary income tax rate. With a Roth IRA, your contributions aremade with after-tax funds, but your withdrawals have the potential to be tax-free — provided you’vehad your account at least five years and don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59½.(Not everyone is eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA, as income limits apply.)

If you have an IRA, you already know its advantages. If you aren’t investing in an IRA, you shouldbe aware of these key benefits:

• Tax-deferred growth — A traditional IRA can provide tax-deferred growth while a Roth IRA canpotentially grow tax-free, provided you meet the conditions described above. To get a sense of just howvaluable these tax advantages are, consider this example: If you put in $5,500 per year (the new IRAmaximum) for 30 years to a hypothetical investment that earned 7% a year, but on which you paid taxesevery year (at the 25% tax bracket), you’d end up with slightly more than $401,000 — about $155,000less than what you’d accumulate in an IRA. As mentioned above, you will eventually have to paytaxes on your traditional IRA withdrawals, but by the time you do, you might be in a lower tax bracket.Furthermore, depending on your income level, some of your contributions to a traditional IRA may betax-deductible. (Roth IRA contributions are not deductible.)

• Variety of investment options — You can invest your funds within your IRA in many types ofinvestments — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs), U.S. Treasury securities and so on. Infact, within your IRA, you can create a mix of investments that are suitable for your risk tolerance, timehorizon and long-term goals. Of course, investing always carries some risks, including loss of principal— but the risk of not investing may be greater, in terms of not having enough assets for retirement.

Here’s one more point to keep in mind: The earlier in the year you “max out” on your IRAcontributions, the more time you’ll give your account to potentially grow. By reaching the new, highercontribution limits, and by fully funding your IRA as early in each year as possible, you can help yourselftake full advantage of this powerful retirement savings tool.

Longfellow school community reacts to possible renovationsBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — About two dozen people showed up with suggestions at the second of five public forums on elemen-tary school improvements in Portland.

Oak Point Associates representatives presented four options for improvements to Longfellow Elementary on Monday night. They asked for feedback before a final proposal is submitted to the School Board in May.

As a part of the city’s Buildings for our Future Program, which aims to improve five elementary schools, Oak Point over the next several weeks will be presenting plans for renovations at Lyseth, Reiche,

Presumpscot and Longfellow Elementary Schools and a completely new building for Hall Elementary.

The public forums offer a chance for parents and community members to provide input on the projects before vot-ing on them as a complete, $46 million package in November.

In earlier public forums, Longfellow parents and staff suggested a need for a separate gymnasium and cafeteria, more storage for teachers and students, locker rooms, and a dedicated computer lab. All of the designs presented by Oak Point featured many of these aspects.

Norman Lemire, project coordinator, said many of the concerns the company wanted to address in the plans for Long-fellow included site safety, bus and car circulation, storm-water issues on the playground, minimizing playground impact, a more integrated and accessible entrance, special education spaces and the addition of gym and cafeteria spaces.

The four plans presented had different variations on an addition to the library, gym and cafeteria spaces, as well as dif-ferent plans for the outside spaces.

Attendees were receptive to all of the plans, but a major focus was maintain-ing the front facade and entrance to the building. One of the options moved the entrance to the right side of the school, where a gym addition was proposed.

While the public was receptive to that idea as a whole, people asked if Oak Point could keep the front entrance the same and use the proposed side entrance as a secondary entrance.

Longfellow Principal Dawn Carrigan said she would be happy with any of these plans, but she suggested maximiz-ing play space when planning for the renovations.

“I think it is a win-win and no mat-ter what happens we are going to have a really phenomenal facility in Deering Center,” she said.

There are three other public forums on proposed plans over the next two weeks:

• March 21 at 6 p.m. at Reiche Elemen-tary School, 166 Brackett St.

• March 28 at 6:30 p.m. at hall Elemen-tary, 23 Orono Road.

• And April 1 at 6:30 p.m. at Presump-scot Elementary School, 69 Presumpscot St.

All plans for the elementary schools will be posted on the district’s Build-ings for Our Future website as they are presented.

To provide feedback on the plans or to ask questions about the project e-mail Oak Point Associates at [email protected].

Shipyard Brewing to pay city $300K for sewer underchargesBy William Hall

PORTLAND — A state arbitrator awarded the city nearly $300,000 to settle a dispute with Shipyard Brewing Co. over unpaid sewer charges.

The binding decision announced Friday, March 15, ends a four-month process in which the city and Shipyard worked with the arbitrator to figure out payment for water the brewery discharged into the sewer system for 15 years – without being billed.

The problem started in 1996, after a 6-inch water service line was installed at

the brewery at 86 Newbury St. The line was incorrectly designated as a “no-sewer” line, and as a result Shipyard was undercharged for sewage disposal.

While the city hasn’t said how much the brewery was undercharged, the amount has been estimated to be as much as $1.5 million.

The mistake wasn’t discovered until 2011, and last year City Manager Mark Rees hired attorney Bryan Dench to inves-tigate how it happened. Dench concluded it was the result of human error and miscom-

munication.The city and Shipyard negotiated unsuc-

cessfully for six months over a solution to the back payments, and then agreed last November to enter binding arbitration.

Shipyard President Fred Forsley on Fri-day called the undercharge “an honest mis-take by the city ... that never cost ratepayers any additional cost.”

He said he’s “happy with the outcome” of the arbitration.

“There was a lot of energy that went into (the arbitration),” Forsley said. “We’re glad

to have this behind us, and to be moving forward.”

In a written statement, Rees said, “The decision provides a significant award to the city’s sewer fund. Given the complicated circumstances surrounding the case and the fact that there is no evidence of wrongdo-ing, we accept the arbitrator’s decision and award to the city as the final resolution to this matter.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or [email protected].

CBL to scan tickets; car ferry dry-docked

PORTLAND — Casco Bay Lines will soon be electronically scanning its pas-senger tickets in a test to explore the use of ticket bar-codes to improve efficiency and data collection.

On April 2, CBL will begin scanning all tickets except monthly and yearly passes. Unlike other tickets, the passes do not have bar codes.

Based on this pilot project, which is funded by the Federal Transit Adminis-tration, CBL may ultimately offer online purchasing and prepaid ticketing options, and expand the scanning to include passes, the ferry service said in an email.

In addition, CBL said its car ferry, now undergoing routine service and inspection in Rockland, could remain dry-docked until late April. The Machigonne II, which carries nearly 400 passengers and a dozen

vehicles, provides daily service to Peaks Is-land and reservation-only service to several other Casco Bay islands.

While the ferry is not running, Peaks-based marina Lionel Plante Associates is providing vehicle transportation to and from the island on a limited basis, CBL said.

Maine Mall to host PATHS fashion show

PORTLAND — Fashion marketing stu-dents from Portland Arts and Technology High School will present their 2013 collec-tion Sunday, March 24, at the Maine Mall in South Portland.

The fashion show will feature fashions constructed from old prom gowns, hand-painted fabric and unusual materials and upholstery samples. All of the ensembles are created by students in the fashion mar-keting program.

In addition to the show, there will be a silent auction for prizes ranging from over-night stays at hotels and resorts and gift certificates. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Preble Street Teen Center and PATHS student scholarships.

The show begins at 7 p.m. in the Maine Mall’s Garden Court. Tickets are $5 each and will be sold at the door.

Portland named best area for spring jobs

PORTLAND — The Portland region, in-cluding South Portland and Biddeford, will be the best metropolitan area in the nation for job growth this spring, Forbes magazine said last week.

Forbes named the region No. 1, tied with San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., in an annual survey employer hiring expecta-

tions in 100 metro areas. Last year, Portland ranked No. 6 on the list.

The survey, conducted by employment services firm ManpowerGroup, polled a total of more than 18,000 employers.

In the Portland-South Portland-Bidd-eford area, 27 percent of surveyed employ-ers said they expect to add workers during April, May and June, while only 4 percent expect to reduce their workforce. The difference between those numbers – 23 percent – was nearly double the national average, according to Manpower.

The majority of area employers, 66 per-cent, expect staffing levels to stay about the same, and 3 percent were undecided.

Volunteer groups to clean up parks, streets

PORTLAND — Three volunteer groups are getting together to clean up the city’s parks, trails and neighborhoods on Satur-day, April 6.

Friends of the Eastern Promenade, the Munjoy Hill Neighborhood Organization and the West End Neighborhood Associa-tion are sponsoring the annual April Stools Day and Litter Pickup from 9 a.m. to noon, according to a press release.

The groups are inviting residents to help them pick up litter, pet waste and other de-bris from 11 locations in Portland, includ-ing Baxter Woods, the Ocean Avenue dog

park and Fort Allen Park.This year’s clean-up includes the 21st

annual April Stools Day, which has been sponsored by local pet supply store Fetch for 13 years. A scavenger-hunt prize of a Fetch gift card will be awarded in each area to the participant who finds the hidden “Golden Turd.”

Rain date for April Stools Day and Litter Pickup is Sunday, April 7. People wishing to participate should contact Friends of the Eastern Promenade, or gather at the Eastern Promenade and Cutter Street the morning of the event.

Agriculture secretary promotes healthy diet, healthy defenseBy Dylan Martin

PORTLAND — The U.S. must address child obesity and hunger not only for the economic and educational prosperity of future generation, the nation’s agriculture secretary said last week, but also for na-tional security.

Secretary Tom Vilsack spoke at Maine Medical Center and the U.S. Coast Guard Station in South Portland on Thursday, March 14. Educators, medical professionals and Portland Mayor Michael Brennan were among the local officials who accompanied Vilsack.

“We in this country have a challenge with our children and I wish it was just a single

challenge,” Vilsack said. “I wish it was hunger or obesity, but the reality is they’re twin evils.”

After speaking about his own issues with obesity as a young orphan, Vilsack turned to the national security aspect.

“Today we’ve got retired admirals and generals in a mission readiness effort alert-ing the country to the fact that we have a shrinking number of young people physi-cally fit and ready for military service,” Vil-sack said. “With an all-volunteer military, if that pool of resource begins shrink, we may not have sufficient numbers to meet the security needs that the country has.”

Vilsack said a third of children are obese “or at risk of being obese,” and 10 percent of U.S. households have children with in-secure access to food.

To fight these problems, Vilsack outlined programs that encourage families to mobi-lize and maintain healthy diets, like Maine Medical Center’s “Let’s Go!” program; online tools that provide nutritional recipes, like ChooseMyPlate.gov; and partnerships that increase access to affordable healthy food.

Vilsack also said 38,000 agencies across the country offer summer feeding or re-lated programs for children who depend on schools for adequate nutrition.

Joined by retired U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Richard Mayo, Vilsack took his message to a less-youthful audience when he addressed about 80 Coast Guardsmen in a boat bay at the Coast Guard Station in South Portland.

Mayo is a member of the nonpartisan, nonprofit Mission Readiness, an organiza-tion working improve educational and nutri-tional opportunities for children, regardless of whether they aspire to military careers.

Mayo noted an estimated 75 percent of the nation’s 17- to 24-year-old population is ineligible to serve in the military because they have criminal records, are not high school graduates, or are physically unfit for service.

“We need a bigger pool to select from. We are not getting the numbers we need,” Mayo said.

Vilsack said his department’s initiatives to educate families about proper nutrition while improving school lunch and snack menus will be combined with efforts to improve physical fitness classes in public schools. He noted the real progress may come with younger students first.

“It may be harder for high school stu-dents to embrace,” he said as he talked about reinforcing the distinction between healthy “everyday” food and the less healthy “sometimes” foods for dietary choices.

Vilsack said the department will seek

to limit unhealthy offerings in vending machines while encouraging food produc-ers to “reformulate” snacks for healthier alternatives.

In areas where colder climates may limit availability of fresh produce and vegetables, Vilsack said the department hopes to help growers cultivate indoor crops while show-ing parents the added value coming from choosing healthier foods that may be more expensive.

Vilsack praised officials and programs in the Portland area for improving school nutrition, and said his audience likely had a real interest in helping avert childhood obesity.

“I suspect there are moms and dads and patriots concerned about threats to this country,” Vilsack said.Reporter David Harry contributed to this story. Dylan

After his remarks to about 80 Coast Guardsmen last Thursday in South Portland, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack toured the cutter Marcus Hanna. Vilsack tied department nutrition iniatives to ensuring military volunteers can meet physical requirements for enlistment.

Superintendent’sNotebook

Emmanuel Caulk

Proposed Portland school budget reflects community valuesIn years past, Portland residents have shown time

and again that they value public education by providing resources to support our schools.

That steadfast support is particularly noteworthy in a city where less than 13 percent of households have school-age children. Port-land residents recognize that the entire commu-nity benefits by educating young people for the 21st century jobs that will help our city prosper. By build-ing a world-class system of great schools, we also will continue to attract home-owners and businesses to Portland.

We face many challeng-es as we craft the Portland Public Schools budget for 2013-2014. After a state curtailment cut nearly $1 million from the district’s funding this year, we face flat state funding in fiscal year 2014. The governor’s budget would shift $1.5 million in retirement costs from the state to the district, and Portland will have to pay an estimated $600,000 to cover tuition for students attending charter schools.

Our district’s union contracts call for wage and benefit increases, and health insurance premiums will rise.

We must balance the need to keep property taxes af-fordable with our responsibility to prepare Portland’s students for college and careers. I have proposed a FY 2014 budget that preserves academic programs, includ-ing pre-kindergarten and adult education, while cutting costs in several areas that are farther from the classroom.

My budget would make strategic investments in five areas that align with our district’s Comprehensive Plan: core curriculum and instruction, student support, staff development, school security and family and community engagement. The budget would fund initiatives such as:

• Adding another school resource officer to help with emergency preparedness.

• Providing more rigorous academic programs, includ-ing ramped up instruction for ninth-graders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

• Strengthening support for students at all levels, including English language learners, those in the gifted and talented program, and students receiving special services.

• Launching school advisory councils and a “Parent University,” as well as other measures to increase family and community engagement.

• Implementing staff evaluations and investing in professional development district-wide.

Over the past several weeks, my leadership team has

reviewed hundreds of cost-cutting ideas proposed by the district’s unions, staff, parents and other community members. We have identified $3.4 million in cuts, in-cluding reductions in supply budgets, postponing some non-essential repairs and maintenance, and reducing the workforce by the equivalent of 41.2 full-time jobs.

We still need to cut an additional $1.5 million from the budget. We will ask all employees to share in the solution to avoid additional staff reductions. By working together, we can achieve that goal.

There will be several opportunities for public input during the next two months, as the School Board and the City Council work on the school budget. I encour-age residents to get involved. You can find a copy of my proposed budget, dates of upcoming meetings and additional information at www2.portlandschools.org/school-budget.

Portland residents are highly educated. According to the 2011 U.S. Census, 46 percent of Portland adults have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to about 28 percent of all Mainers and all Americans.

Our city’s future depends on continuing to support a public education system that will prepare our young people for their roles as Portland’s future leaders.

The ViewFrom Away

Mike Langworthy

Canada, where ‘from Away’ really means something

I spent a week in Toronto breaking stories for the series I am working on. “Breaking stories” is one of those confus-ing terms in TV. When you have a solid path, the story is fully broken, a good thing. If it falls on its face when the actors get a hold of it, the network says the story is broken, a bad thing. You fix the story by rebreaking it.

TV writers have a strange-ly limited vocabulary about writing.

The Toronto trip was an interesting time, mostly in a good way, occasionally in the sense of the Chinese curse, “May you live in in-teresting times.” Regarding the latter, whoever said that getting there is half the fun was not talking about driving from Portland to Toronto.

If you are eager to add points to your license and subsi-dize the general fund of another state, you cannot do better than the New York State Thruway, which boasts some of America’s most zealous and selective law enforcement officials. My hat is off to them for being able to find and ticket the out-of-state driver being passed by an endless stream of much faster cars with New York plates. The hard part is remaining silent while the officer patronizes you. I would prefer at least an honest exchange.

“Sir, do you know why I pulled you over at random from the hundreds of cars driving faster and less safely than you?”

“Chance?”“That, and I noticed from your out-of-state plates that it

would cost you more to fight this ticket than pop a check in the mail when you get back home to Vermont.”

“Maine.”

“Yes. Not New York.”“I don’t suppose it matters that I didn’t actually commit

this alleged infraction.”“Not at all, sir. You have a nice day.”Fortunately, most of the trip was spent in Toronto, not

on the road. The best part of the trip was working on a television show again. It’s a mixture of social interaction, intellectual challenge and entertainment. There is nothing quite like it in my experience, and for all its frustrations and insecurities, it is still the thing I enjoy doing the most. My co-workers were bright and funny. They knew how to ask the right questions and were good at exploring answers, despite being Canadians. But I kid the patronizing attitudes of Americans, including my own.

Like many Americans, and all the Americans I knew as a child, I grew up believing Canada was not a foreign country, so much as it was a junior varsity United States. The climate was inferior, and the money was worth less (remember, this was years ago). Canadians were basically Americans, only more polite and less sophisticated.

During my stand-up years, a stock joke when a comic was working the crowd was, “Oh, you’re from Canada? I’ll talk slower.” Meanwhile the hippest sketch comedy shows on American television, SCTV and Saturday Night Live, were performed largely by graduates of the Toronto branch of Second City. The irony of this escaped most of us.

There must be some truth in the image of the parka-wearing, “you hoser”-saying Canuck, but frankly, the guy plowing driveways in Portland is more likely to look like the McKenzie brothers than anybody I saw in Toronto. Not that Toronto is all of Canada, but it’s probably closer to the norm than a shack in the Great White North.

In Maine, I am from that strange part of the country called Away, but it is the same country. In Canada, you are not from a strange part of the country; you are from a strange country.

The first illusion to fall was the notion that deep down,

Commercial St. should be Portland’s top priority

Unlike Edgar Allen Beem (“High and State, it’s a 2-way street”), I walk a lot all over the Portland peninsula.

I find crossing either High or State streets at intersections with only a painted crosswalk to be easy enough, even if, unlike nearly every other street in the city, I have to wait for traffic rather than traffic waiting for me, as required by Maine law. There are breaks in traffic on both streets often enough most of the day that crossing safely is not a problem. I see no reason to foul up traffic by making those streets two-way. Some sort of traffic calm-ing (as speed humps are known) would be a good idea, as speeds often exceed that of other residential areas.

However, I see no reason for the four-lane section of Spring Street. It starts and ends in two-lane streets, fortunately saved from urban renewal. The four-lane section should be reduced to two lanes, while taking into account the Civic Center traffic situation, so that it more closely matches the streets leading into and away from it.

Franklin Street, while it does go someplace, should remain four lanes wide, but, it too, could be more neighborhood- and pedestrian-friendly by eliminating the median and adding sidewalks along its length.

However, before any roadway changes are funded, Commercial Street west of the Casco Bay Bridge needs to be repaved – it is in hor-rible condition and is dangerous to vehicle axles, wheels, and shock absorbers.

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

Don’t tell Congress, but we’re backEven as a hopeless Congress and a misguided

president drove the country off the fiscal cliff of totally unnecessary sequestration tax hikes and spending cuts, the U.S. economy was ignoring their incompetence and rebounding very nicely, thank you very much.

The stock market greeted the bad news of the sequester by sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to an all-time high. The Standard & Poor’s 500 jumped back close to its pre-2008 high. Unemployment dipped to 7.7 percent. The federal budget deficit, which President Obama has cut by $300 billion, was down 50 percent as a percentage of gross domestic product.

Still, the delusional denizens of Fox Nation con-tinued to plan for economic meltdown and armed rebellion, convinced that the government is going to confiscate their assault weapons and attack them with unmanned drones.

Despite the best efforts of the tea party reac-tionaries of the GOP to drag the U.S. back in time and down in crisis, we’re back. Retail has rebound enough that L.L. Bean just gave its 5,000 employ-ees 7.5 percent bonuses. Yes, we have a lot of room for improvement, but when the Maine Mall park-ing lot is so jammed on a sunny Saturday in March that you have to circle for a place to park and the stores are so full of shoppers that you’d think it was Christmas, you begin to get the idea that the reces-

sion is over.That’s the good economic news. The bad news

is that nothing has been done to address the root causes of the economic collapse – corporate greed and risky and illegal behavior by banks and invest-ment companies.

The bailout worked once, but if Congress and POTUS start applying the same brinksmanship style of crisis management to the economy and financial markets that they do to the budgeting process, we’re going to be in permanent bailout mode.

Yes, the $16 trillion national debt is a seri-ous problem and the economy is not growing fast enough (thanks in large part to government layoffs), but the more fundamental problem is the growing economic inequality in this country. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. That’s why Romney got stomped. And that’s why we need the social safety net that conservatives seem so determined to unravel and remove.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a non-partisan think-tank founded in 1981 to study the impact of budget choices on low-income Americans, “the share of before-tax income that the richest 1 percent of households received has been rising since the late 1970s, and in the past decade has climbed to levels not seen since the 1920s.”

Can you say “Robber Barons?”The CBPP also found the wealth gap to be even

greater than the income gap, reporting in late 2012 that “the top 10 percent of the income distribution received a little less than half of all income, while the top 10 percent of the wealth distribution held almost three-quarters of all wealth.”

This concentration of the wealth of the nation in fewer and fewer hands is not earned, not deserved, and not right, but it is the deliberate and predictable

result of tax policies and financial regulations writ-ten by the rich to favor the rich.

If average Americans of whatever political stripe want to take back this country from the bailed-out big-buck merchants of greed then everyone from Occupy to the tea party is going to have to get be-hind a few major reforms.

At the very least, we need tighter regulation of financial markets; sanctions on companies that hide assets and profits offshore to avoid taxation; higher taxes on unearned income such as inheritance and investments; and campaign finance reform to prevent corporate fat cats and plutocrats from buy-ing Congress, the courts and the White House and continuing to rig the system in their own favor.

The double standard is all too obvious. When tax policies and financial regulations result in the redis-tribution of wealth upwards, that’s called capitalism. When public policies result in the redistribution of wealth to help the less fortunate, that’s called social-ism.

Given a choice, I’d choose socialism, but the truth is that the system we have is a mixture of both. It is a managed economy with an element of free market economics. But when you come right down to it, the American economic system is a crap shoot in which who wins and who loses has nothing to do with who works hard or who deserves success.

We, the people, have turned our economy around by dint of hard work, perseverance and sacrifice. Now it’s time to tell Congress, especially the know-nothing, do-nothing tea party obstructionists, to get out of the way since they are clearly unwilling and unable to lead.

Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in Yarmouth. The Universal Notebook is his personal, weekly look at the world around him.

The View from Awayfrom page 8

Canadians want to be Americans. Sometimes they do not even seem to like us very much, at least as a country. As individuals, we’re fine, but as a nation, arrogant and full of ourselves. A fair cop.

They seem to be happy with their differences. Despite

some of the rhetoric in Washington, their universal health coverage has yet to drive their economy to the brink of col-lapse. This is just the tip of the iceberg of things to learn while I’m working as foreign labor. Another revelation is how the famed politeness may actually be reserve born of an unwillingness to engage with people who are not par-ticularly inclined to try and understand them.

It is fun to write about Mainers and how they react to people who come from Away. The next few months I will

get a chance to see what it really feels like to be from away. I expect to learn a lot more about the United States than about Canada.

ObituariesMartin Joseph Reagan, 59: Lover of animals and all things Irish

PORTLAND — Martin Joseph Rea-gan, 59, died unexpectedly at his home March 11.

He was born in Portland, a son of John P. and There-sa McLinden Rea-gan. He attended St. Dominic’s Gram-mar School and was a 1972 gradu-ate of Portland High School.

Reagan worked for the City of Portland for almost 34 years, retiring from the Parks and Cemetery Division in 2007. He liked all kinds of animals. He walked the ducks at Evergreen to their winter

pens and back to the pond in the spring. He fed the ducks daily and even went out on his day off. He also fed pigeons daily near his home and had a pet turtle named Speedy for 24 years. He was a member of the Irish American Club and loved all things Irish. He also enjoyed playing cribbage.

Reagan was predeceased by his par-ents. He is survived by a brother, John P. Reagan Jr. and his wife, Margo, of Wells; two sisters, Catherine P. Porpura, of Law-rence, Mass., and Theresa M. Jendrasko, and her husband, Benjamin, of Standish; a stepdaughter, Chantel Whitney, of South Portland; four nieces and nephews and five great-nieces and nephews.

Environmental Efforts

Lodging businesses in Ogunquit and Brunswick are the latest in Maine to be recognized for voluntary efforts in reducing their environmental impact by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The Abalonia Inn and the Dunes on the Waterfront in Ogunquit and the Inn at Brunswick Station in Bruns-

wick were certified recently by DEP as Environmental Leaders. The self-guided Environmental Leader program encour-ages lodging facilities, restaurants and grocers to implement sustainable prac-tices that reduce environmental impact and save businesses money to achieve points towards green certification.

Good Deeds

Gelato Fiasco donated $1,003.44 to the Opportunity Alliance’s Keep ME Warm Fund for Cumberland County, proceeds from its Jan. 16 Scooping for Community event. The fundraiser was part of a series hosted by Gelato Fiasco at its Old Port and downtown Brunswick stores through-

out the winter. The company donated 100 percent of sales from the events to partnering organizations like the Oppor-tunity Alliance, one of the largest area organizations to distribute home heating assistance funds.

Additional help is on the way for women in the area who are having dif-ficulty advancing their careers. Goodwill Industries of Northern New England is one of 45 Goodwill agencies across the country to take part in an innovative program that provides job training and placement services to women. The pro-gram, known as Beyond Jobs and funded through a $7.7 million grant from the Walmart Foundation, will now create a larger impact by reaching more women who are unemployed or underemployed. This new funding will help broaden the reach of a program that was started in 2010 in five U.S. markets serving 1,342 women, to serving an expected 12,250 women in 45 communities.

Recognition

Daniel J. Murphy, Bernstein Shur at-torney and shareholder, received the Mar-tindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating, the highest level of Martindale-Hubbell’s Peer Review Rating system. The Martin-dale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings are an indicator of a lawyer’s high ethical stan-dards and professional ability, generated from evaluations by other members of the bar and the judiciary in the United States and Canada. The evaluations are based on legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability and legal experience.

Acquisitions

Yarmouth Boat Yard owner Steve Arnold announced recently that his company has acquired Moose Landing Marina, located in Naples. Moose Land-ing Marina is the largest on-water facility in Maine with 15 acres and 1,000 feet of frontage on Brandy Pond with access to Long and Sebago Lakes. Moose Landing Marina offers new and used boat sales, 200 deep water slips, storage, dockage, valet, parts and service, launch ramp and boat rentals.

Sitelines, PA announced recently the acquisition of Brian Smith Surveying Inc., a long-time provider of land survey-ing and land use consulting services in the Mid-Coast region.

Scholarships

Mercy Hospital has established the Robert J. Masterson Nursing Scholar-ship Fund in recognition of Masterson’s years of service and dedication to his patients. Masterson, who retired recently from Mercy after more than 30 years, has left his colleagues very big shoes to fill. “Bob created a culture of excellence in critical care that he perpetuated in his everyday performance,” said colleague

Carlene Stevens in a press release. “Bob genuinely cared for his patients and their families. He not only promoted but ex-pected family presence at the bedside.” Gifts to the Robert J. Masterson Nursing Scholarship Fund are tax-deductible and will be held in a restricted fund at Mercy c/o of the Mercy Development Office, 144 State St., Portland, ME 04101. For more information about giving to Mercy, visit www.mercyhospitalstories.org/cms/support-mercy/online-giving/ or call 879-3487.

McAuley’s Clement wins Gatorade AwardBy Michael Hoffer

PORTLAND—Cather ine McAuley High School junior Allie Clement was named the Maine Gatorade girls’ basketball Player of the Year Thursday, capping another transcendent season for the accomplished standout.

Clement, a 5-foot-8 junior guard, was presented the award during a school assembly. Her parents, Brian and Carolyn, sister Sarah, a McAuley fresh-man, and sister Camille were in attendance, along with Lions head coach Billy Goodman and assistant coach Bill Whitmore.

“I hadn’t heard of a junior winning,” said Clement. “I didn’t think it would be me. It was a surprise. I was really happy.”

Clement averaged 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.5 assists while shooting at 56 per-cent this winter.

She’s won a Class A state title in each of her three high school seasons and has a sparkling record of 64-2. Clement was named the Western A tourna-ment’s “Red” McMann winner

as the top player/sportsperson.Clement joins former McAu-

ley standouts Sarah Marshall and Ashley Cimino as Gatorade winners.

“It’s cool to be in a category with the other girls who have won,” Clement said. It’s an honor.”

“Allie is simply the best around,” said McAuley coach

Billy Goodman. “She played all season on one leg and was still very, very good.”

Clement has gotten plenty of attention from colleges and is still weighing her options for the next level.

Deering boys’ hoops coach LeGage steps down

PORTLAND—When Dan LeGage came to Deering High School to become the school’s varsity boys’ basketball coach for the 2002-03 season, the school, almost 130 years old at

the time, was desperately thirst-ing for its first state champion-ship.

Flash forward a decade and the Rams have not one, but two.

Thanks in large part to the

countless hours, blood, sweat and tears that LeGage put into the program.

Thursday, word broke that after 11 seasons at the helm, LeGage, the finest coach in pro-gram history, is stepping down after posting a superb record of 143-75, with those afore-mentioned two crowns, a third regional title and two Forecaster Coach of the Year selections.

LeGage, 40, said that he and his wife, Trisha, who already have a nearly 6-year-old son, Lucas, are expecting a second son this July. After making basketball his life for years, in-season and out, LeGage decided that the time had come to step back.

“I need to devote more time to being at home,” said LeGage, who lives in Gorham. “I need to be more available. Family comes first.

“I spoke to the team Tuesday and I think they understand. It’s sad. I’ve been blessed to work with a lot of wonderful kids.”

LeGage grew up in Portland and was a standout at Portland High for coach Joe Russo. LeGage went on to play for

Dick Meader at the University of Maine-Farmington. There, LeGage was an All-Maine team selection in both 1993 and 1994. He graduated as the program’s fourth all-time leading scorer (1,368 points) and the leader in made 3-pointers (168). LeGage is also second in career steals, third in 3-point field goal per-centage and fifth in assists. He was inducted into the UMF Hall of Fame last September.

When Mike Francoeur left Deering, after coaching the Rams to the 2001 and 2002 state games (an epic, heartbreaking buzzer-beater loss to Bangor the first year and a lopsided loss to Brunswick the following), LeGage, who had returned to Portland as an assistant under Russo and was part of a state championship team in 1999, was initially hesitant to make the move to the Bulldogs’ fiercest rival, but Russo helped convince him to jump at the opportunity.

“As much as I didn’t want to see him across town, I knew he would be a good teacher and coach,” Russo said. “I’m not surprised at all he was success-ful. He’s a student of the game. When he got into coaching, he worked equally as hard as he did as a player and as a player, he always gave it 100 percent on and off the court.”

With a bare cupboard, LeGage went 4-14 and missed the play-offs his first season and finished 7-12 with an agonizing loss to South Portland (which rallied late in the Western A prelimi-nary round) his second year.

Everything changed in 2004-05, when Deering, after a 14-4 regular season, made a stirring and what was viewed at the time as a year-ahead-of-schedule run to the state final when it lost to Hampden Academy, 59-49, at the Bangor Auditorium, a game in which the Rams were in foul

A winter of triumph, memories(Editor’s note: We recapped the basket-

ball season in last week’s edition)By Michael Hoffer

It was a winter for the memory banks and not just because of the record snow-fall we endured.

Portland-area athletes turned heads on the ice, track, wrestling mat, slopes, trails and in the pool, winning titles and turning heads in the process.

Before we move on to what hopefully

will be a pleasant (albeit probably late) spring, here’s one last look back at and tribute to the stars of winter.

Michael’s top five stories5) Skiers continue to make markSkiing doesn’t get the attention of

some other winter sports, but several Alpine and cross-country skiers from the city accomplished great things at the state level. Portland’s girls’ Nordic team was runner-up, as standout Abby Popenoe had a second-place finish in the freestyle and was third in the classic. Bulldog Ben Allen was runner-up in the boys’ freestyle. Waynflete doesn’t have an Alpine team, but Louis Frumer won the Class C boys’ slalom. Several others had top 10 finishes.

4) Strong season on the iceIn a season which saw Deering boys

have an opportunity to return to action with Portland, as a co-op squad, there was plenty of good news for locals on the ice. Cheverus’ boys made it to the semifinals for the first time since winning a state title in 2006. The Stags girls rode the overwhelming production of senior Katie Roy to the playoffs and a first-round win. Portland’s boys, with help from its Deering additions, posted a solid record and got to the quarterfinals. Look for continued excellence next season.

3) Two wrestling championsCheverus’ Iain Whitis repeated as a

state wrestling champion. After taking Class A at 120 pounds a year ago, he moved up to 126 pounds and did it again. Portland’s Kidayer Aljubyly had a stellar season as well, taking the Class A crown at 106 pounds.

2) Deering produces three track champions

The Class A state track meet was good to local athletes, with Deering produc-ing three individual titlists. The boys got a win from Jared Bell in the shot put, while the girls also had a shot put winner, Alexis Elowitch, and the top 800 runner,

Edie Pallozzi. Cheverus’ boys team was second to Scarborough and the Stags girls’ squad got a win from Kiera Murray in the two-mile.

1) Cheverus wins first swim title since Carter Administration

Cheverus has long been a top contender at the Class A boys’ swim state meet, but had never been able to ascend to the top

spot. This winter, the Stags finished the job. Cheverus, which last won a state title in any class way back in 1979, in Class B, rode the excellence of Trebor Lawton, who won both the 100 backstroke and the 100 butterfly, to a first place finish. While the Stags had the most team suc-cess, other city individuals also sparkled, as Cheverus’ Sarah Nablo won the Class

A girls’ backstroke, Deering standout Genevieve Worthley took both the Class A girls’ 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke and Waynflete’s Colby Har-vey won the Class B girls’ fly and 200 freestyle.

trouble almost throughout.LeGage was first honored as Coach of the Year

following that season.History was finally made the next winter, when

Deering, the heavy favorite coming into the year, went 17-1, returned to the state final, and this time had the answer, beating Hampden Academy in a rematch, 47-37, to finally place a Gold Ball in the school’s trophy case.

The second title took awhile as the Rams were ousted in the quarterfinals four years in a row before reaching the semifinals in 2011, losing to Bonny Eagle.

In 2012, Deering went all the way again, in memorable fashion, beating Bonny Eagle on Pat Green’s buzzer-beater in the regional final, before downing Hampden Academy (who else?) in the state game, 59-50.

“We had a lot of memorable moments,” said LeGage. “It took 132 years for the school to get the first (state championship). Six years to get the second. I was happy to be a part of it.”

“I thought (2012) was (Dan’s) best coaching job,” said Russo, whose Portland team handed Deering a decisive loss in that year’s regional season finale. “He somehow regrouped his team. They played solid basketball. He knew what to do come playoff time. He put on a coaching clinic and really showed his coaching ability.”

LeGage credited Russo, Meader, Rick Simonds and Roger Reed as his top mentors.

“I learned from all of them,” LeGage said. “I watched and studied them over the years. Every-thing they did, I tried to add my own flavor.”

After a 15-3 campaign this winter, the Rams were upset in the quarterfinals by Thornton Academy, 49-40, in overtime, in what proved to be LeGage’s

swan song.Over LeGage’s 11 seasons, Deering

made the playoffs 10 times and aver-aged 13 victories a year, a model of consistency the coach told the hiring committee over a decade ago that he would establish.

“I wanted to build a program that didn’t have to rebuild,” said LeGage, who credited longtime assistants like Jon Bird, Brendan Conway, John Maloney, Larry Nichols, Josh Stowell and Todd Wing with much of the program’s suc-cess. “We wanted to be in the conversa-tion at the top of the league every single year. I think we did a pretty good job. It was a decade of success. It was a mirror of the efforts of great kids who came through the program and bought in. I’m blessed to have coached with the people who worked with me. They’re an exten-sion of my family. We didn’t have a lot of turnover.”

“Dan is as good as it gets,” said Deer-ing athletic director Melanie Craig. “He set a legacy for Deering boys’ basketball. He will be missed, but we wish him and his family the best as he embarks on the next phase of his life.”

Craig said that Deering will open the position and that she expects several qualified candidates, both internal and external, to express interest.

As for LeGage, who will remain a science teacher at Deering, don’t be surprised if we hear from him again at some point.

“I’m looking forward to a time and an opportunity when I can return to coaching,” LeGage said. “I hope to stay connected to kids and the games. I’m passionate about the game and about helping kids.”

‘Time Stands Still’ is taut, powerfulBy Scott Andrews

Spring arrives this week with a wide variety of choices in the performing arts. My “must-see” pick for the week is “Time Stands Still,” a taut, powerful drama by Donald Margulies. It was a hit on Broad-way and Los Angeles, and is proving equally popular at The Public Theatre of Lewiston-Auburn.

Joy Kills Sorrow is a contemporary en-semble that’s solidly rooted in traditional music. They’re playing Portland’s One Longfellow Square this Saturday.

The Portland String Quartet’s season continues on Sunday. Featured guests will be the Spelaeus String Quartet, boasting a strong connection to the PSQ and southern Maine.

Portland Ovations hosts a performance by an Argentinean threesome on March 28. The Pablo Ziegler Trio specializes in Argentina’s rich tango music in the tradition of Astor Piazzolla.

‘Time Stands Still’Is there any such thing as a “neutral ob-

server?” What is meant by neutral? Does the definition depend on the context? Or does it exist in the abstract? Do the answers change with a change in perspective?

Those are among a bundle of provocative and intriguing questions that are thought-fully posed but only partially answered in “Time Stands Still,” the powerful 2009 drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies.

“Time Stands Still” unfolds over the course of several months in a New York apartment, when globetrotting photojour-nalist Sarah (Janet Mitchko) returns home to recuperate after being severely injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq. She is com-forted by longtime boyfriend James (Evan Mueller), a reporter who covered many of the same wars and upheavals in the Third World. They are visited by a news magazine editor (David Newer) and his air-headed fiancee (Jessica DiGiovanni). All four are fully professional actors.

Margulies’ play presents four perspec-tives on today’s gory news, the newsmak-ers, those who report the news and those who stay home and read it. Like most such questions in the real world, there is no sat-isfactory resolution. But it’s a fascinating mental journey, and well worth the short trek to Lewiston to see.

The Public Theatre, corner of Maple and Lisbon in Lewiston, presents “Time Stands Still” March 21-24 with 7:30 p.m. performances Thursday and Friday, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Call 782-3200.

Joy Kills SorrowA Boston-based string band comprising

musicians who have had conservatory train-ing in either classical or jazz will perform this Saturday at Portland’s One Longfellow Square.

Joy Kills Sorrow brings together an eclectic mix of musicians who have col-lectively discovered new acoustic territory. The ensemble is an amalgamation of string players who grew up listening to indie-rock, jazz, and pop music. They churn out impressive tunes with a very contemporary sensibility. The title of their latest CD is suggestive: “This Unknown Science.”

Catch Joy Kills Sorrow at 8 p.m. March 23 at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland. Call 761-1757.

Spelaeus String QuartetEver since first violinist Stephen Kecske-

methy was sidelined by illness, the Portland String Quartet has been operating in one of two modes. In some cases they’ve brought

in violinist friends to substitute for their col-league. In other instances, they’ve invited entire ensembles who are connected to the PSQ in some way.

For this Sunday’s fourth concert of the PSQ’s 2012-2013 season, the latter mode is in effect. The young Spelaeus String Quar-tet, under the leadership of violinist Patrick Doane, will present a varied program of classical and modern works.

Doane is a native of Kennebunk who now lives and teaches in New York. As a younger man he studied with PSQ second violinist Ron Lantz and has appeared with the PSQ twice before. Doane is a Juilliard School graduate with a concentration in violin performance and composition. For this concert, he’ll be playing one of his own works.

The opener will be George Gershwin’s “Lullaby,” scored for string quartet. The two classical pieces will be Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s String Quartet in G Major (K. 387), one of the composer’s breakthrough efforts in the genre, and Robert Schumann’s String Quartet in A Minor (Op. 41, No. 1),

which represented a major foray into the field of chamber music.

Doane’s “Eppur Si Muove” was written earlier this year. The three-part composition was inspired by a walk in the Maine woods. Its Latin title was inspired by a statement by Renaissance astronomer Galileo about the earth’s movement through the universe.

Catch the Spelaeus String Quartet at 2 p.m. March 24 at Woodford’s Congrega-tional Church, 202 Woodford St. in Port-land. Call the LARK Society at 761-1522.

Pablo Ziegler Trio for Nuevo TangoThe tango is Argentina’s signature dance

and musical form, a form of street art that was transformed for the stage and concert hall in the early 20th century by Astor Piazzolla. Its transformations continue to the present, and the Pablo Ziegler Trio for Nuevo Tango is one of today’s premier iterations. This notable threesome is com-ing to the Port City on March 28 under the aegis of Portland Ovations.

Born in Argentina, Pablo Ziegler started playing piano with jazz groups at age 14 and solo concerts at age 18 and then went on to be the pianist for Piazzolla’s own quintet for over 10 years. Since then he has taken the classical tango form to new levels with his jazz-influenced improvisation and percussive, yet lyrical use of piano.

Ziegler is an artist who inspires awe and devotion whenever he performs, and has won both a Grammy and Latin Grammy Award. For his Portland appearance Ziegler will be joined by guitarist Claudio Ragazzi and bandoneon player Hector del Curto. The bandoneon is a form of accordion, and was one of Piazzolla’s favorite instruments.

Ziegler has been hailed as today’s out-standing interpreter of tango music. A critic for the Chicago Tribune commented, “There’s no question that Ziegler takes the tango to levels of sophistication and refine-ment probably undreamed of by Piazzolla.”

Catch the Pablo Ziegler Trio for Nuevo Tango at the Abromson Community Education Center, 88 Bedford St. on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus at 7:30 p.m. March 28. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

A writer and photographer return to New York after years of covering wars and upheavals in the Third World, only to discover that the conflicts continue in their New York apartment. That’s the gist of “Time Stands Still,” a drama that runs through this weekend at The Public Theatre of

Lewiston-Auburn.

cent increase in local property taxes, amounting to a tax increase of $35.32 per $100,000 of property value.

It also includes a reduction in spending for supplies, postponing non-essential repairs to schools, and would reduce the workforce by 41.2 full-time jobs. It also calls for using $1 million from the dis-trict’s unrestricted fund balance.

Caulk said an additional $1.5 million must still be cut, but he hopes to do so without additional staff reductions and is calling on unions to be flexible and help the district find additional funds.

“Personnel costs are the biggest single item in our budget,” he said. “We are ask-ing our employee unions to also make an investment in next year’s budget, so that

we don’t have to make additional cuts that would be truly devastating to our students, staff, parents and community.”

He said if unions, employees and the district can work together to find a solu-tion to the budget gap, additional staff reductions can be avoided.

Caulk acknowledged that there were major challenges in putting this budget together to minimize costs.

Among the main challenges to creating the budget was the flat funding from the state after a nearly $1 million curtail-ment this year, and a the proposed shift of nearly $1.5 million in retirement costs to the city.

Additionally, with the opening of new charter schools, such as Baxter Academy for Technology and Science, the district must pay an estimated $600,000 to cover tuition for Portland students planning to

attend these schools.Finally, the district must cover pay

increases to employees as stipulated in their contracts.

In a monthly column published this week in The Forecaster, Caulk said “we must balance the need to keep property taxes affordable with our responsibility to prepare Portland’s students for college and careers. I have proposed a fiscal year 2014 budget that preserves academic programs including pre-kindergarten and adult education, while cutting costs in several areas that are farther from the classroom.”

The budget, Caulk said, makes invest-ments in areas that “align with our dis-trict’s comprehensive plan.”

The budget funds initiatives such as the addition of another school resource of-ficer, providing more rigorous academic

programs including improved science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs, strengthening student support, launching several advisory councils and professional development for teachers.

A public forum on the budget planned for March 19 was postponed due to weather. The rescheduled date was not announced.

needed infrastructure improvements, such as reconstruction of the fire-devas-tated Hall Elementary School.

But Caron emphasized the need for city schools to be competitive – with charter schools, such as the new Baxter School for Technology and Science, as well as in the contest to place students in college and jobs.

He said the School Department will soon form a task force that will look for ways of increasing revenue while dealing with fiscal constraints.

And he deplored the us-or-them men-tality of recent budget discussions.

“Too often, it feels like a zero-sum game that pits teachers and schools against each other for dwindling re-sources,” Caron said. “The loudest or most organized voices often prevail at the expense of more comprehensive solutions.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or [email protected].

usually a routine matter for the council. In fact, just minutes before discussion of Verrill’s license, the council unanimously approved a restaurant application to re-open the recently shuttered Porthole Restaurant and Pub, on the Custom House Wharf.

Verrill’s restaurant, Outlier’s Eatery, is now under construction on the site of the former Popeye’s Ice House, a tavern that closed in 2008 after being denied renewal of a liquor license. Popeye’s was notori-ous for bar brawls, a 2007 stabbing and a 2008 fire – as well as the promotional display of a small airplane tail sticking out of its roof.

Brennan noted that the appearance of Police Chief Michael Sauschuck before the council was an unusal sign.

“There’s never been a chief before us recommending denial,” he said. “The

very fact that he’s here tonight says something.”

Verrill is part-owner of two other restaurants – Grace, on Chestnut Street, and Foreside Tavern, on U.S. Route 1 in Falmouth.

He’s also currently under license suspen-sion for his New Year’s Eve arrest, and has been convicted of a string of other crimes dating to 2001. They include a previous OUI, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, violating bail conditions and four cases of speeding, according to Sauschuck.

“In my eye, this history shows a lack of responsibility,” he said.

Verrill said that his previous arrests were related to personal difficulties and a “publicly bitter divorce.” He also said his current restaurant responsibilities are strictly managerial and do not involve alcohol – similar to the role he would play at Outlier’s.

“I’m just glad to have an opportunity

to turn things around, and give something back,” he said, noting that he’s already in-vested $1.5 million in the new restaurant. “I take a lot of shame and responsibility for what I’ve done.”

Councilors were sympathetic.David Marshall, the District 2 coun-

cilor representing the West End area that includes the Outlier’s property, noted that despite Verrill’s “problematic” criminal history, his previous restaurant ventures haven’t harmed Portland neighborhoods.

“I think he deserves a chance,” Mar-shall said, noting that if problems develop at Outlier’s, he would be the first coun-cilor objecting to a license renewal.

Councilors repeatedly called Verrill and Sauschuck to the podium in a cross-ex-amination that lasted more than an hour. Even District 5 Councilor John Coyne, who rarely speaks at council meetings, questioned Verrill about his sincerity in seeking alcohol-abuse treatment.

“I want to know if you are just doing

this to get through a program, or is it embedded in your personality?” he asked. “I take this very seriously.”

But by the end of the evening, most councilors gave Verrill the benefit of the doubt.

“I think I’m willing to rely on your assurances,” Councilor Jill Duson said.

As Verrill left City Hall, he said he was “thrilled and relieved” by the council’s decision, and that Outlier’s could be open within a matter of weeks, pending city health inspections.

He also said he’s looking forward to the prospect of bringing a new restaurant to an overlooked block of the West End, where a smaller restaurant may also be opening a few yards away.

“I’m abundantly happy that they’ll be next door,” Verrill said. “A little competi-tion is a good thing.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @

Hogan, who raced to ground zero on the morning of the World Trade Center attacks. “I just wanted to do something (about the hurricane). ... I felt helpless up here. If I had been down there, I would have been involved.”

Hogan knew Williams because fami-lies of coworkers from his former fire company, Ladder Company 3 in New York’s East Village, had stayed at the 9/11 Family Camp. Ladder Company 3 lost 11 members – most of its force – in the World Trade Center’s north tower.

Hogan and Williams then approached the Portland Fire Department, which

already had close ties to firefighters in New York.

“(The PFD) was very instrumental in supporting us after 9/11,” Hogan said, noting that department had helped staff fire stations and attended funerals for many of the 343 New York fire personnel who perished in the terrorist attacks.

The collaboration of Hogan, Williams,

the PFD, Bisson and others was a natural next step.

“It’s amazing how things have worked out, between the camp, the Portland Fire Department, and everyone,” Hogan said. “It shows what people will do to help when there is devastation, wherever it is.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @

tractions within the districts.The signs will be installed at key inter-

sections within the peninsula, as well as near USM – prompting UNO President Carol Schiller to ask the city last fall if a seventh zone, the Education District,

could be added to the project.The district would cover a broad swath

of the city, from USM west in a rough triangle bounded by Forest, Brighton and Stevens avenues.

The additional planning would cost $18,000, not including the expense of the signs, according to a memo from the project consultant, Brunswick-based

Woodworth Associates.Both USM and the University of New

England, whose Portland campus is at 716 Stevens Ave., have pledged contri-butions of $1,800 to defray those costs, according to a city memo.

“The goal is just to create a better linkage, between the peninsula and (the neighborhood) so that people can come

here and enjoy everything we have,” Schiller said at the meeting. “And the timing seems perfect.”

Wednesday’s TSE Committee meeting is at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall. William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @
