the forecaster, portland edition, october 10, 2012

By William HallPORTLAND — A task force

has unveiled a sweeping plan for reducing homelessness in the city.

The plan, still in its draft form, calls for creating a cen-tralized process for assessing homeless people; building three, 35-unit housing facilities, and

expanding case management services to better match the needs of clients.

Nearly 100 people filled City Hall’s State of Maine Room Oct. 3 to hear the first public recommendations of the Home-less Prevention Task Force, which was appointed by the City Council last year.

The 18-member task force includes business leaders, city officials and community mem-bers. It is led by former Coun-cilor Dory Waxman, Maine Red Claws President Jon Jennings and United Way of Greater Portland President and Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Mc-Cormick.

“Our current capacity is as strained as it’s ever been,” Mc-Cormick said, noting that city shelters have been overfilled since June 2011. An average of 444 people seek housing in a shelter each night, according to the most recent data from the city.

Implementing the plan’s rec-

ommendations is “both ambi-tious and expensive,” the task force admitted in a report on its findings. But the city also would achieve savings by reducing the need for shelter stays, emer-gency room visits, jail stays, mental health hospitalizations

By Amber Cronin PORTLAND — Construction of a

new Martin’s Point bridge is about to begin.

CPM Constructors has set up a staging area for work on the bridge, which connects Veranda Street with Route 1 in Falmouth. Although a concrete time line for the project is not expected until later this month, Carol Morris, spokeswoman for the Freeport-based contractor, said work will be underway soon.

“They are really just mobilizing right now and starting to have regu-lar construction meetings,” Morris said. “Typically (the time line) is something we only put out a little bit at a time because construction tends to be very flexible.”

Plans for the $23 million replace-ment were announced in early July. The winning bid for the project from CPM and Massachusetts-based engineering firm Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, came in $7 million less

than estimated costs.Proposals for a bridge connecting

Portland and Falmouth date back to 1807, but the original bridge over the mouth of the Presumpscot River was not built until 1828. It operated as a toll bridge until it was destroyed by ice in 1861. It was re-constructed in 1868, after the Civil War, with wooden piles that are still a favorite perch for sea birds.

Classes resume whilefire recovery continues at Hall ElementaryBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — Children raced around the repaired Hall Elementary School Monday night while parents took advan-tage of the opportunity to tour the building before it reopened after a fire-related shutdown.

Students and staff returned to classes at the Orono Road school Tuesday morning after spending two weeks at Cathe-dral School on Locust Street.

After Hall was damaged by an electrical fire on Sept. 17, a ma-jor concern for parents has been the effect of the fire and water on air quality in the building. But results of air quality tests done by Environmental Safety & Hygiene Associates show the “assessment did not identify any significant concentrations of airborne fungal spores in any of the areas tested.”

The report found that outside

of the immediate impact area, the gymnasium foyer was the only area that detected “sig-nificant elevations of fungal spores” compared with outside air. The company is developing a plan for periodic testing in the building.

“Every single space in the building has had air sampling and every single one of those tests has come back abso-lutely safe and acceptable,” said District 3 City Councilor Ed Suslovic, who represents the neighborhoods around Hall.

Peter Eglinton, chief opera-tions officer for Portland Public Schools, said a block of six rooms still cordoned off will be reopened to students and staff on Oct. 15. But the three rooms where the most damage occurred will be closed through

Work to begin on Portland-Falmouth bridge CPM Constructors, the contractor for construction of a new bridge between Veranda Street in Portland and Route 1 in Falmouth, has begun setting up staging areas in the lower parking lot of Martin’s Point. The existing bridge, which carries nearly 1,500 cars per day, will remain open during construction, which is expected to be completed in 2014.

News briefsTall tree wanted for Portland celebration

PORTLAND — If you're pining to get rid of a pine tree, furious at a back-yard fir, or eager to spruce up the city with a spruce, Portland's Downtown District wants to hear from you.

The business development group is searching for a 40- to 60-foot-tall tree that will serve as the centerpiece for the city's holiday celebrations. The lucky conifer will be decorated with LED bulbs that get switched on at the annual tree-lighting ceremony in Monument Square, Friday, Nov. 23, at 5:30 p.m.

"Each year we look for a stately and well-rounded tree within 10 miles of Portland that a resident needs to have taken down. If selected, the tree will be cut down and transported downtown at no cost to the homeowner," City Arborist Jeff Tarling said.

Tree owners who wish to enter should submit their address, phone number and a photograph of the tree to [email protected], or mail the picture and contact information to Portland's Downtown District, 549 Congress St., Portland, ME 04101.

Portland man arrested on suspicion of arson

PORTLAND — Police arrested Mi-chael Irving, 45, on Monday in connec-tion with a suspected arson at his Free-man Street home.

Police and firefighters arrived at Ir-ving's residence at 9 Freeman St. at ap-proximately 3 p.m. Monday after receiv-ing reports that the building was on fire.

When they arrived, according to a city press release, officers found heavy smoke coming from the duplex. Irving told police they were not needed, but was escorted from the home when firefighters arrived to put out the fire.

The other unit of the duplex is occu-pied, but no one was home at the time of the fire. The building sustained heavy fire and smoke damage. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.

A preliminary investigation into the cause of the fire found that it was suspi-cious, with a number of fire locations in the apartment and evidence of accelerant use. Irving was interviewed by investiga-tors and arrested at 7 p.m. Monday.

Bail for Irving was set at $50,000.

Island post office hours won’t be slashed

PORTLAND — Cliff Island residents can enjoy post-office services six hours on weekdays, rather than the two hours proposed under a U.S. Postal Service downsizing plan, it was announced last week.

Currently, the island’s post office is open from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. and from 2-4:45 p.m. each weekday.

Saturday hours, from 8:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m, will remain unchanged.

“Slashing hours of operation at post offices in remote communities such as Cliff Island ... was a misguided plan by the U.S. Postal Service,” said U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, the ranking Republican on the Senate committee with jurisdiction over the Postal Service. “These post of-fices are not only the very heart of these communities, but a reliable link to the mainland.”

News briefsBridgefrom page 1

Comment on this story at:http://www.theforecaster.net/weblink/137812

The original bridge was rehabilitated in 1933 to accommodate three lanes of traffic after trolley service was suspended in the early 1930s.

The existing bridge was completed in 1943, and underwent its last major reha-bilitation in 1991. That work included a new concrete deck, the addition of 6-foot sidewalks and reducing the roadway from four lanes to two with the addition of a wide shoulder.

According to the Maine Department of Transportation, in 2010 the bridge underwent a review and scored only a

34.8 out of 100 in a rating of sufficiency. The review found that there was sig-nificant deterioration of metal beams, the superstructure (beams and deck) and substructure (abutment and piers). A suf-ficiency rating of less than 40 requires

replacement.Discussions over the future of the

bridge and what it should look like have continued since the report was released early in 2010.

The new design will be 112 feet shorter than the current 1,400-foot bridge and will have two traffic lanes, a pedestrian lane on the western side, a multi-use path on the right side and bump-outs with space for fishing.

Morris said it is important that drivers know the existing bridge will remain open during construction of the new bridge.

“The new bridge will be built on the east side of the old bridge,” she said. “There will be plenty of opportunity to watch it being built.”

Construction is expected to be com-pleted early in 2014, if everything goes according to plan, Morris said.

Demolition of the existing bridge will begin after the new bridge opens.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

‘Painting for a Purpose’ puts money into service learningBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — A project that began as a group of women meeting weekly to paint has blossomed into a philanthropy fund-ing service-learning grants for students in Portland's public schools.

In 2009, Tina Clark Edwards, who works at Hall Elementary School, and Jane Ellis, a retired teacher in the district, brainstormed the idea for "Painting for a Purpose" after Edwards took a fanciful furniture painting class on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

“We both had worked with kids who had written grants, I'd been involved with a youth philanthropy and she'd been involved in something similar, and we talked about selling the furniture and creating a philan-thropy,” Edwards said.

The pair, along with several friends, be-gan painting together once a week and word spread about the project. During the first two years of the program the group painted chairs and stools to be sold at auction.

This year, the project expanded to include 12 local artists and 12 students from the Portland schools.

Each group received one wooden lobster boat and one dory to paint. Participating students were nominated by high school

teachers and met with their artists through-out the summer to complete their projects.

The completed lobster boats and dories will be on sale at the group's Nov. 8 auc-tion. The auction runs from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Grace restaurant, 15 Chestnut St., and all proceeds go toward funding service-learning projects in the schools.

Since the auction started two years ago, the project has raised $5,000 and has funded 14 grants for students.

In order to receive money from Painting for a Purpose, students must submit a grant application to the organization detailing a problem in their school community.

“There has been a lot of effort in service learning in Portland and we are sort of capi-talizing on that,” Edwards said. “(Students) have to identify some kind of problem or issue in the community and they have to research it so that they really understand all sides of it and then they come up with a plan as to how they are going to solve it. If we think they have really made their case, we give them up to $500.”

Some of the service learning projects funded by Painting for a Purpose have included:

• Students from Lincoln Middle School constructed a stone and wood path to easier access their garden, protect plants from be-ing stepped on and to prevent soil damage

and compression due to heavy usage by students.

• Longfellow Elementary students re-ceived $500 to purchase reusable snack bags for kids at the school. The bags are used to hold breakfast so that students can transport their meal from the lunch room to the classroom, reducing waste and unneces-sary packaging. The fifth grade students at the school are responsible for returning the bags to the cafeteria each day.

• Casco Bay High School students were awarded $500 to create a school garden as a tool for teaching and learning about sustain-able agriculture. Food grown in the garden is served at the school's salad bar.

• Portland Arts and Technology High School used a $500 grant to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity.

Edwards said that she hopes that the proj-ect is able to continue for many years and that this year they are able to double their profits from the auction to provide more grants to students.

“This is a sustainable model. It's not so overwhelming and we have a good funding stream going for these projects,” she said. “But we've been building and we're ready to double (our efforts).”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

Gary Fogg: Maintaining trails, forging connectionsBy David Treadwell

TOPSHAM — Gary Fogg is a Renais-sance man, and he believes that every citizen has a duty to be informed about history, government, religion and science.

He’s a maverick who spent a year between high school and college work-ing minimum-wage jobs and driving a 1967 Volkswagen bug across the U.S. to explore the country, especially its state and national parks. And he’s a superstar volunteer, giving joyfully of his time and talents to causes he believes in.

A constant theme runs throughout Fogg’s life, be it at work or play: his pas-sion for our ethical relation with the land and with each other.

After graduating from Bates College in Lewiston, Fogg served as a land manager and planner in Massachusetts and Maine before starting his own consulting firm, Land & People LLC, in Topsham in 1991. He assisted towns and developers in addressing issues related to land use planning. And true to his collaborative spirit, he would often work alongside other consultants on projects.

While maintaining his consulting practice, Fogg provided his expertise to several committees in Topsham: the Conservation Commission, the Compre-hensive Plan Committee, the Planning Board, and the Quality of Life Ordinance Committee, among others.

Fogg shut down his consulting firm in 2009 and began seeking other outlets for his passion. He’d long been a supporter of the Brunswick & Topsham Land Trust, so he asked Angela Twitchell, executive director of the organization, how he could help the trust.

“I told him we could use help oversee-ing our trail system,” Twitchell said. “We

Keith Spiro / For the ForecaSterGary Fogg of Topsham oversees clearing and

maintaining 17 miles of trails for the Brunswick & Topsham Land Trust.

couldn’t afford to hire a trail supervisor, and he has so much experience.”

Fogg did, indeed, possess vast experi-ence – he’d helped maintain trails for the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Vermont Division of Forestry.

As trails supervisor for the trust, Fogg now oversees the work associated with clearing and maintaining 17 miles of trails. In addition to reimbursement for materials, the trust provides the volun-teers, many of whom are young people from Bowdoin College, the Apogee Sum-

mer Adventure Program, or area schools. Fogg takes it from there.

“It’s so much fun,” he said recently. “I get to exercise in the woods, while working with volunteers from all back-grounds. I love working with the same kind of hand tools that were used in the 19th century; figuring out problems along the way is part of the fun. And I like knowing that other people will benefit from this work. It’s important to give back.”

“Gary’s the man, a dream volunteer,” said Caroline Eliot, associate director of the trust. “He’s so enthusiastic, and he makes everything so much fun. He’s able to engage with young people, and he’s a really good teacher. And he’s incred-ibly well organized, providing detailed reports about the work that’s been done on the trails.”

Twitchell said she knew the trust was getting a winner in Fogg, because she’d worked with him on the Topsham Con-servation Commission.

“Gary has a passion for improving the quality of life of the community,” she said. “He’s a collaborator, always respectful of all viewpoints. He’s such a gift.”

Former legislator, ex-broadcaster face off in House District 117By William Hall

PORTLAND — A former state repre-sentative has returned to the campaign trail to take on a political newcomer in the Maine House District 117 election.

Democrat Richard Farnsworth, who served in the Legislature from 1996 to 1998, faces Frederic Miller, who replaced David Caron as the Republican nominee in the race.

The candidates are vying to fill the seat held by Rep. Anne Haskell, D-Portland, who is finishing her third term and chose to make a bid for the state Senate.

District 117 covers parts of Deering as well as the Lib-bytown, Rosemont and Stroud-water neighborhoods.

Farnsworth, 71, said he was "happy to sit on the sidelines" of politics since he represented the area, which was then House District 32. But he said he recon-sidered after speaking with Haskell about her decision to run for the Senate.

He said his prior experience in the House will allow him to quickly begin serving the district.

"In the first year, the learning curve for a legislator is 90 degrees, straight up," he said. "But I can hit the ground running."

In addition to his experience in Au-gusta, Farnsworth served for 18 years as executive director of Woodfords Family Services, a nonprofit agency for children with special needs. He cited this work as

preparation for dealing with legislative issues related to MaineCare, the state Medicaid program.

Miller, 69, also brings experience in social services to his candidacy.

He said he has worked as a substitute teacher in special education for the Cape Elizabeth school system, and has served as a volunteer with the Spurwink

Institute. His career also includes more than 50 years in broad-

cast journalism, working for television and radio stations in Portland, Bangor and Portsmouth, N.H.

With no political experi-ence, Miller said he is not

bound by traditional party ties and is more free to serve

constituents."I'm going to be there for the voters.

You need to take care of the people who put you there, that's the first function of a representative ... and I'll be effective because I can get along with the other side," he said.

"Politics has gotten hung up on party affiliation," Miller said. "We need to put people over parties and politics. What we don't need in Augusta is Washington gridlock."

Business in MaineWhen it comes to improving Maine's

economy, Miller proposes a two-pronged strategy.

"The first thing that has to happen is that antiquated regulations have to

go," he said. "Then we have to promote Maine's business environment, and sell the living daylights out of it."

Miller said he supports the efforts of Gov. Paul LePage and his administration to relax business regulation, and that those efforts "have to continue."

"These are the kinds of things that bring in new industry," he said. "And when you bring in new industry, you cre-ate jobs and create tax revenue."

At the same time, Miller said he would like to see reductions in the sales tax on some goods that Maine residents travel to New Hampshire or Massachusetts to buy tax-free, he said. These include over-the-counter medications, clothing and pet food.

Farnsworth, too, supports changes that would make it easier for businesses to op-erate in Maine. He said that commercial licensing and regulatory approvals should be expedited, so that new businesses can get started faster.

"But that doesn't mean businesses don't have to meet environmental standards," he said, and called Maine's environment "an important part of our place, which we can't afford to lose."

Farnsworth said the state also needs to carefully consider the future direction of its business growth.

"In the long term, we have to have a conversation with our population about

how we want the business community to look in 25 years," he said. That conversa-tion must "focus with laser-like clarity" on issues such as how the state can develop its workforce, sup-port the growth of existing small busi-nesses and attract new ones, he said.

Those new busi-nesses may be in emerging service- and knowledge-based industries, such as biotechnology and eco-tourism, which are well-suited to the state's environment, Farnsworth said. He said the state should foster their develop-ment but concentrate resources where they can do the most good.

"We need to tie into and nurture those industries ... and focus on the ones that can give us a leading position in the country," he said.

Social welfareIf he is elected, Miller said he would

support measures to move recipients of social services off the state rolls.

"Bill Clinton had the right idea," he said, referring to the welfare reform law, known as "workfare," which President

Clinton signed in 1996. "Everyone who is able to work, must."

He acknowledged that Maine "needs to take care of folks that need to be taken care of," but said that the state's generous social welfare programs have made it "a dumping ground for other states. That has to stop."

Miller said the state should lengthen the periods that applicants for social services wait before receiving benefits. He also would institute closer, ongoing review of recipients and their cases, in order to "make sure the people on dis-ability are really disabled."

"The Department of Health and Human Services is going to have to do its job," he said.

But Farnsworth urged caution before making changes to the state's social welfare programs, especially MaineCare.

"Don't chop the program," he said.Eliminating coverage for recipients

forces them to obtain services in emer-gency rooms or other settings where the

cost of care is more expensive, he said. Farnsworth called this effect "the balloon process," since costs that are forced down in one place pop up somewhere else, just as a balloon can change shape.

"I'm not sure the (LePage) administra-tion has taken a look at the ramifications of cuts," he said.

Still, he said there's room for "tighten-ing up" MaineCare by clamping down on fraud and making sure that only properly qualified applicants receive benefits.

However, MaineCare has suffered from a "loss of professional expertise" that may hamper those improvements, and further cuts to the program will only aggravate the problem, Farnsworth said.

New sources of energyFarnsworth also said he is optimistic

about many potential new sources of en-ergy, such as solar, wind and tidal power. "In our efforts to develop alternatives to fossil fuels, we need to look at a variety of options," he said.

In order to determine which options are best for Maine's environment, he said, "we need to experiment. Some will suc-

ceed, and some will fail."The state should be actively involved in

research and development of promising energy technologies, such as the genera-tion of tidal power in the Bay of Fundy, according to Farnsworth.

"When a new energy system has a po-tential to succeed, the state can provide the boost it requires to actually be suc-cessful," he said.

Miller agrees. "The state needs to look at every energy alternative, both its up-side and its downside," he said.

He, too, supports the development of tidal power. But unlike Farnsworth, he also would like to see greater use of natu-ral gas and clean-burning coal, he said.

While no single alternative energy source may be perfect, he said he be-lieves there is opportunity for compro-mise. "Let's look at the pros and cons

of each source, and then let's talk things out," he said. "I believe we should shoot for a win-win."

Same-sex marriageMiller also is equivocal when it comes

to Question 1, the state referendum asking if Maine should issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He said he can see both sides of the issue, but that he is "leaning toward supporting (passage of the referendum).

"But my vote's going to be last-minute. I won't know for sure until I put a mark down in a box," he said.

Farnsworth holds a stronger opinion."It's only the right thing, the fair thing,

to do," he said. "I have no qualms about voting yes."

Three under 33 seek election in House District 118By William Hall

PORTLAND — Three candidates under the age of 33, none of whom has held elected office, are vying to represent District 118 in the Maine House.

Republican Kevin Casey, Green In-dependent Tom MacMillan and Democrat Matt Moonen are on the ballot in next month's election.

Three-term Rep. Jon Hinck, D-Portland, chose not to seek re-election in order to run for the Demo-cratic nomination to replace U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe. Hinck lost that primary to state Sen. Cynthia Dill, D-Cape Elizabeth.

District 118 includes Portland's West End and Libbytown, and is widely con-sidered one of the most liberal districts in the state.

Casey, 32, is the oldest of the trio. "We're all new to politics," he said. "We each bring a fresh perspective (to the race)."

Casey said his perspective is rooted in his libertarian leanings – he's a sup-porter of former presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul – and has a "broad

background" as a technology consultant."I bring a sense of fiscal responsibil-

ity," he said. "I really want to make sure that all Mainers keep more money in their pockets."

MacMillan, 26, is a substitute teacher who is proud of his roots in Port-

land, where his family has lived for five generations.

A graduate of Portland public schools and a board member of the West End Neighborhood Associa-

tion, he said "people have been responsive to the idea

of having a real Portlander in the Legislature."

MacMillan also said he is proud of his campaign's efforts to address topics that are relevant to the district. "I've designed my campaign literature to be very spe-cific," he said. "I want more people in the district to understand the importance of the issues, rather than party affiliation."

Moonen, 28, is a former political direc-tor for EqualityMaine and was an activist with Maine Citizens for Clean Elections. He is also vice chairman of the Portland Democratic City Committee, and said he feels this experience distinguishes him in

the field of young candidates."When (the race) is over, this district

will be represented by someone young, with a new outlook. But with youth comes mistakes," he said. "That's one of the reasons I feel my experience makes me the best combination for the district."

Business in MaineIf elected, Moonen said he would take

a hard look at the tax incentives the state has used to attract business to Maine.

"This state has a history of creating tax breaks, but there's been little follow-up to see if they actually succeed," he said. "There needs to be more accountability. If (tax breaks) aren't working, get rid of them."

At the same time, he said he believes Maine needs to do a better job of educat-ing workers if its economy is to improve. Maine colleges represent an "opportunity to match the skills of our workforce with rising industries," such as biotechnology, he said. And that takes continued finan-cial support from state government.

"I'm not convinced we can cut our way to prosperity ... making an investment in our future is just as important as balanc-ing our budget," Moonen said.

MacMillan shares a similar view. "Education is a thermometer for soci-ety," he said, explaining that the quality of education determines other qualities,

such as the health of the state's business environment.

But he is more ada-mant about the need for better health care.

"The No. 1 thing we can do to improve business in Maine is to lower the cost of health care and make it more affordable for everyone," Mac-Millan said. "Small businesses create the vast majority of jobs in Maine, and they shouldn't have to worry about how they're going to pro-vide health care."

Casey takes a dif-ferent approach to improving the state's economy. "Business needs an environment that is easy to navi-gate and plan for," he said.

He suggested the state must be more se rv ice -or ien ted , more accountable and more consistent in its enforcement of regulations. "Business owners need to be able to look at the state

as a whole and know what to expect,” Casey said.

Social welfareGreater accountability is also important

in the state’s social welfare programs, Casey believes. He said he would work to reduce spending that is wasted through fraud and abuse in MaineCare, the state Medicaid program.

“I want to make sure those resources are there for the people who really need them,” he said.

Reducing fraud and abuse would re-quire better communications and more transparent operations within the state Department of Health and Human Ser-vices, Casey added. “The left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing.”

MacMillan, too, would like to improve accountability in the state’s spending on social welfare programs. “It’s not a matter of spending more or less,” he said. “It’s a matter of how resources are being spent.”

Still, he said, Maine must continue to support these programs.

“The need to invest in our social safety net is more important than ever,” MacMillan said. “If our goal is to get people out of poverty, we have to fulfill our promises to them. If we’re supposed to be helping the working poor, we need to provide resources that allow them to work.

“In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should be left on the street.”

As a legislator, Moonen said he would have to explore any changes to the state’s social welfare programs in depth.

The problem of fraud and abuse, for

example, “is something that does hap-pen,” he said, but requires further study. And changes in safety-net services “can’t be made just by elimination,” he added. “That just sends the problem somewhere else.”

New energy sourcesFurther study is also necessary when it

comes to considering alternative energy sources, according to Moonen.

“I’m open to all ideas,” he said. But when it comes to the merits of any spe-cific source of energy, “for now, I’d defer to the scientists.”

Casey said he also is open to a variety of sources, although he is concerned about the “underproduction” of wind power as well as the environmental concerns that have been raised about the siting of wind turbines. He also said that tidal power would allow the state to “capitalize on its geography.”

Regardless of the technology, develop-ing new energy sources will take a “bal-ance of public and private investment,” Casey said. “The state needs to be open to jump-starting these new ventures, and not look at them merely as an expense.”

MacMillan also would like to see the state increase its energy investment – but to channel that investment into what he called “democratic energy.” That might include subsidies that help residents to produce their own electricity through solar power.

“At a time of appalling debt, it doesn’t make sense to force homeowners to take on more of it in order to purchase solar panels,” he said.

MacMillan also would encourage

from previous page greater state support of Efficiency Maine, the publicly funded energy conservation program. “The best form of energy is energy not used,” he said.

Same-sex marriageCasey, MacMillan and Moonen all

said they plan to vote “yes” on Question 1, the statewide referendum to legalize marriage licenses for same-sex couples.

Moonen, the former EqualityMaine political director, perhaps summed up the positions of the three candidates.

“It comes down to fairness,” he said. “LGBT residents of Maine should have the same rights as every Mainer.”

College is more memorable the 2nd time aroundYou know the saying, “time flies”? Well, the more

mature I get (and I’m talking mature as measured by years on this planet, not as measured by my behavior), the more I do indeed be-lieve that it’s going by not just at a quick trot, but at the equivalent of Mach 5.

This past weekend, I woke up in my daughter’s college apartment. And as I headed downstairs to the standard-issue college apartment bathroom, I thought, “Wait! I’m sup-posed to be the one ac-companying my mom downstairs so she doesn’t frighten my roommates. I’m not supposed to be the mom! How did this happen?”

College is a wonderful, magical time. However, when we’re fortunate enough to be in the thick of it, we are (unfortunately) not always aware of this fact.

When I was the one living with four female room-mates, pulling all-nighters, subsisting on popcorn, Fa-rina, rice cakes with peanut butter (and the occasional box of frozen spinach), I did not fully appreciate the experience. Nor did I appreciate that I was, in terms of growth and development, a creature with superhuman abilities.

For instance, I didn’t appreciate that I could sleep for four hours for five consecutive nights and still have the energy to lift a fork to my mouth. Or speak in a coher-

ent manner.

These days, even when I pull only a half-an-all-night-er, I am not a happily functioning person the next day. And if I attempt it two nights in a row, I’m not someone you’d want to join for coffee.

I recently reconnected with an old college friend. As soon as I saw his photo again and read some of his witty words, I was transported back to the 1980s. Bam. Poof! Just like in “Back to the Future.” Power up the flux capacitor.

How can that be? How can we have such splendid and vivid recall? How can it really seem like “just yester-day?” Apparently, one of the blessings of the “matur-ing” process is that we can remember what our college bedspread looked like, but often not what we ate for lunch three days ago.

Personally, I don’t think any amount of cold-pressed-Norwegian-fish-oil will change this situation to any great degree. And really, that’s OK with me.

There is a reason our memories develop some holes, like Swiss cheese. There is a reason we don’t remember the names of our date’s kids. Our brains are filled to capacity. We’ve seen enough. We don’t want any more information. Please. Stop! (I once heard a comedian say this exact thing and thought it was hysterical, which is why I’m stealing it.)

But back to my college musings.

There is something gratifying and very sweet about being a mother and visiting a daughter at college. Swooping in to rescue your young bird from her college nest, if only for a few hours and dinner at a restaurant. A good restaurant. One with menus. And without pizza,

chicken fingers, or hamburgers.

And I never would have imagined how much fun it would be to go to a grocery store.

Going grocery shopping with a college student is like seeing the world through a new pair of contact lenses. So much excitement. Who knew that a box of frozen waffles or a bottle of real maple syrup or a package of cherry tomatoes could bring so much happiness to a human being?

When you’ve been doing it for decades on end, things like food shopping can become dull, to say the least. When you’re in college, however, a trip to Stop & Shop with mom (and her credit card) is akin to winning an all-expense paid vacation to Paris or Hawaii.

I can’t believe how much fun it is to be the fairy God-mother instead of Cinderella.

Who knew one of the greatest joys of parenthood would involve making sure your college student has a plentiful supply of Annie’s Mac & Cheese? And toilet paper?

My little chicken has flown the coop. For the second year. And it keeps getting better.

I just hope I remember all of it.

Amused, confused by Beem’s view of wealth

I'm both amused and confused by Edgar Allen Beem's recent column, "The rich vs. the rest of us." First, Mr. Beem seems to hold Mitt Romney to a "rich standard" that somehow seems to overlook Bill Clinton, net worth $80 million; Al Gore, net worth $100 million; John Kerry, net worth $193 million, and the list goes on and on – countless members of Congress and the husband of our congresswoman, all multi-millionaires.

If Mr. Beem's contempt is across the board than I applaud him for being honest. If his contempt rains

only on con-servative rich f o l k s , t h an that's very sad. My amusement comes about by knowing the

rich folks Mr. Beem seems to despise have given me and hundreds of tradesmen work for many years. I've been in business for a long time and I have shown up on job sites with Obama/Biden/Kerry/Edwards/Bush/Cheney/McCain/Palin lawn signs and bumper stickers, and every one of them, no matter what political stripe they were, paid well and were very gracious to work for. So I just don't see this them against us mindset. So yes, Mr. Beem. they create jobs, and no they all didn't inherit their wealth, and yes most of them are pretty generous.

The man with the dragonfly tattooEvery once in awhile it occurs to me that I might

like to do something entirely different with my life. I have wanted to be a writer since I was 13, but I had hoped to become a better writer than I am 50 years later. I somehow imagined I would be a major novelist by now, not just a local journalist.

Don’t get me wrong. I am grateful that I get to make a living as a writer. I still enjoy staining the white radiance of a blank screen with my deathless prose, but sometimes I think I might like a do-over. Don’t you?

There are no doubt more courageous folks than I who have, in fact, changed course entirely at 63, perhaps even later in life, but I somehow think it’s too late for me to become a physician. Even if I had the will, I don’t have the energy or the science prerequisites.

Realistically, I could imagine studying for the ministry, turning a column a week into a sermon a week and my expressed concerned for the suffering of others into overt action, but I’m afraid I just don’t have a calling.

I might also reasonably consider teaching, museum work, or public relations, but I’d need credentials, accreditations and competencies I now lack and am too lazy to acquire. And when I think about going into communications work I realize that, not only would I last about a day and half in the corporate world, I have no interest whatsoever in new technology and social media. Tweet all you want; I’m just hoping I don’t outlive print media.

Fantastically, I can imagine becoming a shep-herd in the Outer Hebrides, a Buddhist monk in the South of France, a wandering mendicant in the Himalayas or a beach bum in the Florida Keys, but I’m much more apt to wind up as a bag boy at Shaw’s. I’m way too practical (and married) to ever make a serious break from my established

routine. I’m so domesticated that I feel out of place anywhere I don’t recognize the brand of milk.

When I get in the if-I-knew-then-what-I-know-now frame of mind, I start wishing I had stayed in school and earned a doctorate in philosophy, as I had once intended. By now I might be the Edward Pols Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Bowdoin, dispensing wit and wisdom as a vener-able metaphysician. If I had it all to do over my kids tire of hearing, I would have pursued a life in academe. Hard to beat, ladies. Culture, sports, libraries, summers off. But so far I haven’t man-aged to persuade any of my daughters to go the academic route.

What started me thinking about doing some-thing entirely different was watching Mitt Romney destroy Barack Obama in the first presidential debate and then going to bed reading Bernd Hein-rich’s wonderful new book "Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death." I met Heinrich years ago, visiting him at his little cabin in the western Maine mountains. At the time he was teaching at the University of Vermont and studying ravens. I still admire him and his writings enormously.

I don’t have enough of a mathematical mind to have ever considered the hard sciences, but I think I might have been able to make it in the natural sciences if I had started back when my mind was still supple enough to embrace empirical data. I would very much like to have become a Bernd Heinrich or an Edmund O. Wilson, a scientist able to write and to extrapolate larger meanings from the lives of winged beings.

Yes, that’s it. What I’d really like to do is be-come is a leading authority on the order odonata, tracking elegant dragonflies and damselflies in the wild, studying their brief, brilliant, beautiful lives while our national leaders are busy stomping America into the ground. But, alas, there is no time for a degree in entomology. I’m thinking maybe I’ll just get a dragonfly tattoo instead.

Joyce K. Yankowsky, 76: A lover of books, movie triviaPORTLAND— Joyce K. (Elliott)

Yankowsky, 76, died at Mercy Hospital on Oct. 5 following years of declining health. Most recently she was a resident at the South Portland Nursing Home. She was a communicant of Holy Cross Church in South Portland.

Yankowsky was born Nov. 21, 1935, the daughter of George and Margaret Elliott. She was educated at Cathedral School in Portland. After school, she worked for many years at the First Na-tional Bakery in Portland, retiring in 1971 to become a full-time homemaker. Yankowsky was an avid reader, some-times reading entire novels in a single evening. She also possessed a vast knowl-edge of movie trivia, able to relate the details of almost any movie she watched, including the year a movie was made, ac-tors, directors and musical scores. Joyce

also served as a layperson at Holy Cross Church for many years.

She married her husband, Henry Yankowsky, Sept. 18, 1954, in Portland. They raised their three children in South

Portland.She was predeceased by her parents;

her husband, Henry; and her brother, Richard Elliott.

Yankowsky is survived by her son, Henry and his wife, Karon; two daugh-ters, Margaret Peters, of Portland and Janet Yankowsky and her fiance, Shawn Lambert, of Casco; her brother, George Elliott and his wife, Maybelline, of Lake Buena Vista, Fla.; and granddaughter Gabrielle Sloan, of Gorham.

The family thanks the staff at the South

Portland Nursing Home for the years of devoted care.

A funeral will be held 11 a.m. Wednes-day, Oct. 10, at Holy Cross Church, corner of Broadway and Cottage Street in South Portland. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery on Broadway in South Portland.

Cheverus golf team third at states as postseason begins

(Ed. Note: For the complete Waynflete-NYA boys’ soccer game story, with additional reaction and photos, please visit theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

The postseason fun is underway and there is plenty more to come in the days and weeks ahead.

Golf’s team state match was held Saturday and individuals go for glory this coming weekend. Field hockey’s regular season has already come to a close for many teams. Soccer and volleyball are nearing their end and cross coun-try’s postseason is just days away.

Here’s a look:Golf

At last week’s Southern Maine Activities Association qualifying match, Cheverus made the cut for the state match with a score of 319. Deering (352) and Portland (352) did not qualify.

The Stags then took part in Saturday’s Class A state match at Natanis Golf Course in Vassalboro. Cheverus shot a team score of 316, which left it third behind Gorham (309) and Greely (314). Chris Billings was the Stags’ top scorer, posting a 74. Andrew Cloutier (77), Jake Doughty (82) and Kaleb Bourassa (83) also scored. Adam Bachelder’s 85 wasn’t taken into account.

Waynflete shot a 385 at the Western Maine Conference quali-fier, but failed to earn a spot in the Class C state match.

Several local players will return

to Natanis Saturday for the boys’ and girls’ individual state matches.

Boys’ soccerWaynflete’s boys’ soccer team,

the defending Class C state cham-pion, had a busy week. The Flyers first held off visiting Traip, 2-1, as Harry Baker-Connick tied the score just before halftime (finish-ing a corner kick from Mohammed Suja) and Suja (from Max Belleau) scored the winner with 15 minutes to play. Freshman goalkeeper Tommy Silk made six saves.

Friday, Waynflete hosted rival North Yarmouth Academy. The Flyers had captured five of the past six games against the Panthers, including a surprisingly one-sided 5-0 triumph at NYA earlier this season, but as expected, the re-match was closer.

Waynflete wasn’t able to convert several good first half chances and wasn’t able to go ahead until Kevin Kanakan’s shot was de-flected into the goal by a Panthers defender late in the half. The Fly-ers managed to cling to a 1-0 lead, thanks largely to the play of Silk, who has been pressed into action in goal after Zander Majercik was sidelined with a finger injury. Silk (seven saves) was steady and even spectacular at times as he frustrated the visitors. Then, as time wound down in regulation, Waynflete’s defense held one final time, transitioned the ball up the field and Peabo Knoth, who just missed the goal on several occa-

Cheverus on the brink of history

(Ed. Note: For the complete Cheverus-Bonny Eagle game story, please visit theforecaster.net)

By Michael Hoffer Now, Cheverus can join the rest of the

local football world and look ahead to Thornton Academy.

The Stags set up the most highly an-ticipated regular season football game in memory by holding off a scare from visiting Bonny Eagle Saturday afternoon, 21-7.

Cheverus will take a 6-0 record and a 30-game win streak to Saco to face the 6-0 Golden Trojans Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

The Stags hadn’t really been tested

at all this fall prior to hosting the proud Scots.

Cheverus struggled to finish drives in the first half and after taking an early lead on a Liam Fitzpatrick to Ryan Casale touchdown pass, gave up a 98-yard TD pass (just the second score allowed by the first string defense all season) to find itself tied, 7-7, late in the second quarter. The Stags, playing without injured full-back Brent Green, circled the wagons and took the lead for good when Fitzpatrick hit Casale for a 22-yard touchdown pass. They extended their lead in the third period on another Fitzpatrick-to-Casale TD pass, but the win wasn’t sealed until a Cheverus defensive stand in the fourth period allowed it to hold on for a 21-7 victory, the Stags’ closest call in almost a year.

“It was the first test we’ve had all year,” said Casale, who caught three touchdown passes and also played a key role on defense. “I thought our team showed good character, we played tough and came out with a win. That’s the first game I’ve played all four quarters.”

“It was a battle,” Cheverus coach John Wolfgram said. “(Bonny Eagle’s) a very physical football team. Kevin (Cooper’s) a great coach. They tested us with the things they did. I think we made plays when we had to and we were physical enough when we had to be. We showed character to prevail in the second half. I thought we responded well. We played hard. We shut them down pretty well. No question, it’s an important win for us. We played with a lot of character and made plays on both sides of the ball when we

had to. The new kids who stepped in did a nice job overall.”

Looking ahead to Saturday (and if you’re planning on attending, get there early) Cheverus (first in the Western Class A Crabtree Points standings), which pointedly avoided discussion of the impending showdown (and has ig-nored mention of its win streak altogeth-er) until the Bonny Eagle win was in the books, is nothing but respectful toward the Golden Trojans, whom they beat, 21-10, in last year’s Western A Final.

“I didn’t even know we played TA next until you told me,” said Casale. “It should be a good game. We’ll have a hard week of practice, watch film and we have to come out to play. If we don’t come out to play, that could be the deciding factor.

CorrectionsIn last week’s football article,

credit for the Deering interception return for a touchdown should have gone to Dan Marzilli.

In last week’s Maine Marathon article, the photo which identified the runner as Andy Fitch should have said Jeremy Bonnett.

Whoever comes to play will win.”“I think (Thornton Academy is) a very

good football team,” said Wolfgram, who holds the previous win streak record as the coach of South Portland in the 1990s.

“We have our work cut out for us. It should be a great game. Two 6-0 teams. They’re a veteran team. They have good skill people. It’ll be a good test for us. We’ll have to pick up the pieces to see where we are and come up with some-thing next week.”

The Stags close the regular year at home against Deering Oct. 20.

Speaking of the Rams, they’re hitting their stride at the right time. After get-ting in the win column with a victory over visiting Biddeford, Deering went to dangerous Noble Friday night and outslugged the Knights, 45-32.

The Rams are now 2-4 and eighth in the Western A Crabtrees (which would give them the final playoff spot if the regular season ended today). Deering looks to make it three straight Friday night when it hosts 1-5 South Portland. The teams didn’t meet last season. The Rams close the regular season Oct. 20 at Cheverus.

Portland hit a bump in the road Friday night at Waterhouse Field with a 12-0 loss at Biddeford. The Bulldogs fell to 4-2 on the season. They’re fourth in the Western A Crabtrees and have a big test Friday night when they play their home finale versus 5-1 Scarborough. The teams didn’t play last year. Portland closes the regular season Oct. 20 at South Portland in the “Battle of the Bridge.”Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

sions, finally tickled the twine and the Fly-ers were able to put the finishing touches on a 2-0 victory.

“(NYA is) always a good team,” Knoth said. “They always play us hard. It’s never easy. Last time was a little bit of a fluke. We made a lot of chances offensively, but couldn’t finish. I was a little frustrated missing that many shots, but it happens. We have guys out, but other people step in and do their job. That’s what it’s about. Every year, other guys step in and play their roles. It’s just about stepping up.”

“It was intense,” said Silk. “Especially in the first half. They had a lot of shots. The second half was equally scary. Especially at the end. It was fun, but I’m glad it’s

over. This is a big confidence boost. Our confidence is really high right now. It’s always fun to beat NYA.”

“It was just a classic Waynflete-NYA battle,” added longtime Flyers coach Brandon Salway. “NYA’s improved. Who knows, maybe we haven’t seen the last of them.”

Waynflete finally suffered its first loss Saturday, in stunning fashion, 8-2, at Western D power Richmond. The Flyers led, 2-0, on goals from Suja (assisted by Willy Burdick) and Jack Cutler (assisted by Knoth), then everything fell apart, as Salway explained.

“We were leading, then a questionable (penalty kick) was called for Richmond,” Salway said. “Then, they scored off an ob-vious handball. After the refs huddled, they allowed the goal to stand. We lost a player

to a red card at that point for arguing the call. I was yellow carded after asking for an explanation. After it reached 4-2 in sec-ond half, we decided to get some younger players some experience. It was not the environment we have been used to playing in in the Western Maine Conference and with Greely on the horizon, we couldn’t afford to possibly lose another player. Sev-eral players missed the game due to injury. I was proud of the players that played the final 30 minutes. Including six freshmen. Richmond has a good team and they took advantage of all of the breaks.”

Waynflete (9-1-1 and third in the West-ern Class C Heal Points standings) has a tough closing stretch. The Flyers were home with Greely Tuesday (please see theforecaster.net for game story), host Lake Region Thursday and close at Cape

Elizabeth Monday.In Western A, Deering continues to

ton Academy and a 1-1 draw at South Portland last week. In the victory, Isaac Ye-boah and MacKenzie Hoglund scored. Zach Poulin had the goal in the tie. The Stags were home with Massabseic Tuesday, host Deering Thursday and finish at Gorham Tuesday of next week.

Portland is still in the playoff hunt. The Bulldogs dropped tough decisions at Marshwood (4-3) and at home to Ken-

nebunk (1-0, in overtime), before upsetting host Windham Saturday, 1-0. Against the Hawks, Stephen Barry, Connor Bruce and Tim Rovnak scored. In the victory, Rovnak had the lone tally.

“The kids played really well and we got a little luck when (Windham) hit the post twice,” said Portland coach Rocky Frenzilli. “There weren’t many chances, but when Tim got one, he made it count. I am just so happy for our players to see their hard work rewarded. Windham is a very good team.”

Portland (3-7-1 and 13th in Western A,

where the top 12 teams make the playoffs) had a game at Bonny Eagle Tuesday, hosts South Portland Thursday and closes at home versus Thornton Academy Tuesday of next week. The Bulldogs might need two wins to qualify for the postseason.

Girls’ soccerOn the girls’ side, Waynflete remains

unbeaten, even though it hasn’t won every game. The Flyers began the week 7-0-4 and fourth in the Western C Heals after blank-ing host Traip (4-0), host NYA (3-0) and settling for a 1-1 draw at Richmond. In the win over the Rangers, Isabel Agnew had two goals and Sadie Cole and Walker Foehl one apiece. Against the Panthers, Arianna Giguere scored twice and Leigh Fernandez also had a goal. In the tie, Cole had the Flyers’ tally. Waynflete was at Western A power Greely Tuesday, hosts Old Orchard Beach Friday and closes the regular season with a home game versus Cape Elizabeth Monday.

In Western A, Cheverus was eighth in the Heals at 8-3 at the start of the week. Last week, the Stags downed visiting Westbrook, 4-1, then let a second half lead slip away in a 4-3 home loss to Thornton Academy (in a game played on Deering High’s turf). In the victory, Abby Maker scored three times and Darby Rawcliffe added a goal. Maker, Rawcliffe and Maddy Richardson scored against the Golden Trojans, but Cheverus failed to hold leads of 2-0 and 3-2. The Stags go to Massabesic Wednesday, host Deering Friday and close at home against Gorham Tuesday.

Deering sat ninth at the start of the week

with a 7-4 mark. The Rams enjoyed a 4-0 home win over Kennebunk last Wednes-day), then lost at Windham Saturday, 3-1. In the victory, Alexis Elowitch had two goals, Edie Pallozzi and Camille Leal also scored. Simone Lauture had the goal in the loss. Deering is at Marshwood Wednesday and goes to Cheverus Friday. The Rams close at home with Sanford Tuesday.

McAuley was 2-9-1 and 17th after a 2-1 home win over Kennebunk, a 1-1 tie at Portland and a 9-0 loss at Scarborough. The Lions got goals from Ayla Tartre and Maddie Wood in the victory. McAuley hopes to move into the top 13 and qualify for the playoffs, but it likely needs wins over host Biddeford Wednesday and visit-ing Westbrook Friday to make that happen.

Portland is also on the outside looking in, 16th with a record of 2-8-2. The Bulldogs settled for a 1-1 home tie with McAuley and lost, 2-1, at Kennebunk in recent action. Ashley Frank had the goal in the tie. Rachel Glover scored against the Rams. Portland goes to South Portland Friday and closes at home against Thornton Academy Tuesday.

Field hockeyCheverus’ field hockey team capped its

season with wins over visiting Kennebunk (3-0), host McAuley (5-0) and host Sanford (4-1) to finish 13-1. Against the Rams, Anne Slattery, Staci Swallow and Meredith Willard had the goals. In the win over the Lions, Swallow, Laura Bither, Brooke Flaherty, Mary Kate Slattery and Gabby Wagabaza scored. Swallow had two more goals and Willard and Alex Logan one each

Brian Beard / For The ForecasTerWaynflete senior Jo Moore plays the ball during the Flyers’ 5-0 loss at two-time defending Class C state champion NYA last week. The Flyers finished the regular season with a sparkling 8-4-2

record and are primed to host a playoff game for the first time in program history.

Recapfrom previous page

versus the Spartans. The Stags will be the No. 2 seed in the Western Class A playoffs and will host a quarterfinal round playoff game Oct. 16.

Deering appears playoff-bound as well despite a regular season-ending four-game losing skid. The Rams closed with a 4-0 home loss to Scarborough, a 6-1 setback at Marshwood, a 4-1 loss at South Portland and a 3-0 home setback to Gorham. Aman-da LeMoult scored against the Hawks and Mia Thurston had the goal against the Red Riots. Deering (10th in the Western A Heals at press time) will likely play a preliminary round playoff game on the road Saturday at Gorham, Sanford or Thornton Academy.

Portland, a regional finalist in 2011, didn’t qualify for the postseason this year. The Bulldogs finished 3-10-1 and 15th in Western A (only 11 teams made the play-offs). Portland dropped games at Noble (5-2) and at home to Westbrook (5-4), before closing with a 5-0 win at Biddeford. Against the Knights, Tory Clayton had both goals. Georgia Drew scored twice against the Blue Blazes. In the win, Clayton, Isa-belle Dimillo, Drew, Lauren McIntyre and Leanne Reichert rattled the cage.

“Unfortunately, our hope for playoffs went out the window when Westbrook scored their go-ahead goal with 1:06 left in Wednesday’s game,” lamented Bulldogs coach Beth Arsenault. “It was very frustrat-ing to say the least, however, I am really proud of the way our team played out the last five games, especially scoring nine goals in our final two games. Unfortunately, we just ran out of season or who knows what could have happened?”

McAuley went 0-14 this fall and finished 17th in the Heals. The Lions closed with losses to host Bonny Eagle (6-0), visiting Cheverus (5-0), host Westbrook (9-0) and host Massabesic. The Lions got 17 saves from Akech Allolding against the Stags.

In Western C, Waynflete capped its best regular season since 1979, edging visiting Traip (4-3, in double overtime) and down-ing visiting Poland (3-0), before losing, 5-0, at two-time state champion NYA. Against the Rangers, Nyanen Deng had two goals, including the winner in OT, and Merilla Michael and Madison Pellow also scored. Pellow, Elizabeth Berthy and Chloe Wil-liams had the goals against the Knight. The Flyers (8-4-2) appear bound for the No. 3 spot, which would allow them to host a playoff game Oct. 16 for the first time in program history.

The playoffs begin with the preliminary round Saturday, continue with the quarterfi-nals Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and move on to the semifinals Oct. 20. All of those rounds will be hosted by the higher ranked team. The regional final round is Oct. 23, at Scarborough High School. The state championship games are Oct. 27, at the University of Maine in Orono.

Cross countryWaynflete’s cross country teams wrapped

up their regular season Thursday at Traip in a three-team meet, which also included York. Both teams came in second. The boys were paced by Josh Espy, who was first individually in 18 minutes, 15 seconds. The girls were led by Martha Veroneau (second, 21:10). The Flyers next take part in the Western Maine Conference champi-onship meet Friday at St. Joseph’s College in Standish.

Cheverus joined Thornton Academy at

Scarborough last weekend. The girls were first and the boys second. Individually, Shannon Conley was runner-up in the girls’ race (19:41.3) and Zeb Tarasevich placed fifth in the boys’ competition (18:26.33).

Deering and McAuley joined Westbrook at Massabesic last week. The Rams came in second in the boys’ meet, as Yahye Hussein placed fifth (17:59). In the girls’ race, the Lions were second and Deering finished fourth. Individually, McAuley’s Adele Werner was sixth (23:08). The Rams were led by Kathy Cho (16th, 27:48).

Portland joined Kennebunk and Sanford at Windham. The Bulldogs were third in the boys’ race and fourth on the girls’ side. Individually, Ben Allen won the boys’ meet (17:12) and Elin Roland was 11th (23:32) for the girls.

The SMAA regular season ends Friday when Deering hosts Cheverus, McAuley, Portland and South Portland.

The regional championship meet is Sat-urday, Oct. 20, at Twin Brook Recreation Center in Cumberland. The state champi-onships are Oct. 27 in Belfast. The New England championship meet is also at Twin Brook, Nov. 10.

VolleyballCheverus’ volleyball team began the

week 2-8 and 12th in Class A (where the top nine teams make the playoffs) after a 3-0 home loss to Biddeford Wednesday of last week. The Stags were at Cony Tuesday, host Windham Wednesday, play at Cape Elizabeth Friday and close their first var-sity season at defending champion Greely Monday.

‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ rides into the Portland sunsetBy Scott Andrews

It’s a busy week on the arts and enter-tainment front, with a varied menu that spotlights several formats and styles.

The most newsworthy event is Glen Campbell’s Goodbye Tour, which visits Portland on Oct. 16. The multi-platinum country singer was diagnosed with Al-zheimer’s disease last year, and he says that the current tour will be his swan song.

Another roots-oriented pop singer is Miss Tess, who will be appearing in Port-land Oct. 13 with her three-man band, The Talkbacks.

Portland Symphony Orchestra goes into Pops mode this weekend, with Saturday and Sunday performances of a program based on the bohemian lifestyle.

The Portland Rossini Club, the city’s oldest musical organization, presents a recital by Portland-born mezzo-soprano Abigail Levis on Sunday.

In a total change of pace, Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil’s “Saltimbanco,” plays through Sunday at the Cumberland County Civic Center.

Glen CampbellThe “Rhinestone Cowboy” is riding

into Portland. That’s the happy news. The sad news is that he’s riding into town for the last time.

Glen Campbell, who has sold more than 45 million records in a career that spans five-plus decades, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease last year, but he decided to forge ahead with his final studio album – “Ghost on the Canvas” – and wrap up his public concerts with a Goodbye Tour that visits Portland on Oct. 16.

Campbell started in the 1960s as a session musician in recording studios in Los Angeles. Since then he’s had his own television show and appeared in numer-ous movies. But Campbell is best known as the singer of hit tunes such as “Rhine-stone Cowboy,” “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Galveston” and “Gentle on My Mind.”

In addition to Grammy Awards for individual songs and albums, Campbell received the 2012 Grammy for Lifetime Achievement. He was inducted into the

Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005.Portland Ovations presents Glen

Campbell at Merrill Auditorium at Port-land City Hall at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Miss Tess“Americana” is a deliberately vague

musical description that has become one of today’s most overused labels. But it’s certain that Americana embraces jazz, blues, country, honky-tonk, swing and early rock. And those are the principal influences exemplified by Miss Tess, a singer-songwriter who honed her craft in greater Boston’s thriving alt-country musical milieu.

On Oct. 16 Miss Tess will release “Sweet Talk,” a new CD that exudes all these qualities, showcasing her clear soprano voice, her heartfelt writing style and her new three-man band, which she calls The Talkbacks. On Oct. 13 Miss Tess is holding a CD release party at One Longfellow Square, the city’s premier venue for Americana and roots-oriented

music.An advance copy of “Sweet Talk” is

spinning on my CD player as I write this. I like its infectious swing beat, which infuses most of its 11 songs (10 original and one old country standard). Highlights include “Don’t Tell Mama,” a coyly suggestive love song, “People Come for the Gold,” a rocking dance number, and “Save Me St. Peter,” redolent of beer and lonely barrooms.

Catch Miss Tess and The Talkbacks at One Longfellow Square (corner of Con-gress and State in Portland) at 8 p.m. Oct. 13. Call 761-1757.Portland Symphony OrchestraThe Portland Symphony Orchestra

launches its 2012-2013 Pops season this weekend with two performances of a pro-gram that was created by maestro Robert Moody, who based it on three artistic depictions of the joys and tragedies of the bohemian lifestyle.

Titled “La Vie Boheme,” Moody’s program includes excerpts from Giacomo Puccini’s “La Boheme,” an 1896 Italian opera about a likeable cadre of starving

artists in Paris and their love lives. It is the fourth most-often produced opera in the standard repertory.

A century later, Jonathan Larson’s Tony Award-winning musical “Rent” recast an almost identical story in terms of contemporary New York. Even more recently, the movie “Moulin Rouge” provided yet another vision, going back to Paris for the setting and using a score that was compiled from various popular artists.

Moody has invited four singers. So-prano Jessica Cates and tenor Christian Reinert represent the classical operatic side of the equation, while Broadway stars Mia Gentile and Mike Eldred will focus on modern renditions of the story.

Catch “La Vie Boheme” at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 14. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Abigail LevisProviding scholarships for promising

Maine artists is part of the mission of the Portland Rossini Club, a venerable institution that dates from the middle of the 19th century. So it’s always a treat when a Rossini Club scholarship recipi-ent comes back to perform for the home crowd again.

That’s the background for this Sun-day’s recital by Abigail Levis, an up-and-coming mezzo-soprano who first studied voice in Kennebunk, moved on to perform with Boston’s Handel and Haydn Society and now studies in New York at the Bard College Conservatory.

Among her current teachers is famed singer Dawn Upshaw.

In her young professional career, Levis has appeared with the American Symphony Orchestra and won numer-

nied by pianist Jonathan Ware, a Juilliard School graduate.

Portland Rossini Club presents Abigail Levis in recital at 3 p.m. Oct. 14 at St. Luke’s Cathedral, 143 State St. in Port-land. Call the Rossini Club at 797-8313.

Cirque du SoleilThere’s a “first” and a “last” happening

at the Cumberland County Civic Center through this weekend. The first refers to Cirque du Soleil, the venerable Montreal-based performing arts organization that’s making its initial appearance in Portland. The last refers to the fact that the com-pany’s “Saltimbanco” show, which has been performed in 45 countries for two decades, will be retired at the end of the current tour.

Classic Cirque du Soleil at its best, “Saltimbanco” is a thrilling and kaleido-scopic celebration of artistry and agility. With a cast of 50 high-caliber artists hail-ing from 20 different countries, “Saltim-banco” features breathtaking acrobatics and unbelievable athleticism, supported by technical expertise and extravagant design. The show explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncra-sies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers.

Cirque du Soleil’s “Saltimbanco” will be performed eight times between Oct. 10-14 at the Cumberland County Civic Center. For a full schedule and ticket information, visit theciviccenter.com.

Cut down on kids’ clothing expensesKids can be expensive. Before a child

turns 18, parents can expect their tab to be in the neighborhood of six figures, and that’s before college even begins.

While healthcare, food and schooling may account for a good portion of those expenses, clothing purchases over the years add up, too. Kids grow quite rap-idly, meaning that clothing that fit last month may not fit the next. Parents look-ing to trim clothing costs can consider these suggestions.

• Swap clothing with friends. Become friendly with parents of similarly aged children and accept hand-me-down clothes when offered. Solicit family members to see if they have items that are in good condition that can be put to use.

Many times others will have new cloth-ing – even pieces with tags still attached – because their own children outgrew the items before they could be worn.

• Consider consignment shops. Con-signment shops sell gently worn items at a deep discount. Such shops prove a good resource for individuals facing tight budgets.

• Shop the discount stores. Younger children may not know the difference be-tween designer brands and store brands. It’s possible to get quality items from chain stores for good prices. Even ware-house stores often sell clothing in addi-tion to food and household goods. They may actually carry brand-name items at

the end of the calendar year.The fire, sparked by a faulty electrical circuit servic-

ing outdoor lighting, resulted in 7,000 gallons of water being dumped into Rooms 18, 20 and 22. The three rooms are being gutted and renovated after school hours, officials said, so students aren’t disturbed by renovation noise.

While construction is completed on those rooms, students will attend classes in the art room, computer lab and library.

Superintendent of Schools Emmanuel Caulk said the process has been a learning curve for district administra-tors, but has allowed the schools to develop a plan for dealing with a similar situation.

He said he hopes Monday’s tour helped to “alleviate and assuage” parents’ concerns about the safety of the building.

Since a public meeting on Sept. 24, some parents have been calling for the building to be replaced – something that the district and Suslovic are considering.

Suslovic said Monday that he is looking into the possibility of building a clone of the Ocean Avenue El-ementary School, provided there is enough space at the current Hall Elementary site to complete construction and allow students to remain in classes.

“We have the plans, we have the blueprints, we know exactly what it costs. (But) is there enough space to safely build that school while this school remains open, and then move into the new school?” he said. “If we

slashed prices.

In addition, consider close-out type establishments that have an inventory of clothing similar to that of more expen-sive department stores. Because it was bought in bulk or is last-season’s items, the prices are generally lower.

• Become a retailer regular. If there is a particular store that the family likes, sign up for that store’s credit card and coupon mailer. A “member” could get discounts that are otherwise unavailable to non-members.

• Work in a clothing store. Employees who work in a store often get an em-ployee discount that could be anywhere from 20 to 40 percent off the retail price of items. Parents can certainly work in a store for the discounts, but it’s also an idea for teenagers who want to earn money and save on their favorite brands.

• Don’t forget about layaway. Many stores are bringing back layaway. That means that for a small fee, a person can put clothing aside and make interest-free payments until the purchase is paid off.

Room 23 at Hall Elementary School in Portland on Monday night was ready for the return of students on Tuesday. All areas

of the Orono Road school, with the exception of three rooms that suffered major water damage after a fire, will be opened to students and staff by Oct. 15. Rooms 18, 20 and 22 are expected

to remain closed through the end of the year, while crews complete renovation work.

Amber Cronin / The ForeCAsTerStudents and staff have no access to the rooms still under

construction at Hall Elementary School. Six of those rooms will be reopened on Oct. 15 while three are expected to remain

closed through the end of the year.

can do that, then to me that gives us a clear pathway to an expedited replacement, in which case we need to appropriate the funds and let’s get it done.”

While it is too late to put a bond issue for building a new school on the November ballot, Suslovic said he hopes that by the District 3 annual meeting on Nov. 13 he will know whether it will be possible to have some-thing on the June 2013 ballot.

He said parents and residents interested in the future

of Hall School should attend the Nov. 13 meeting at 6 p.m. at Hall Elementary School.Amber Cronin can be reached at [email protected] or 781-3661 ext.

Homelessfrom page 1


William Hall / THe ForecasTerBusiness owners, city officials and community members gathered at City Hall last week to discuss

recommendations for reducing homelessness in Portland.

and other functions.The task force estimates those poten-

tial savings at more than $2.2 million annually.

People attending the meeting had plenty to say about the plan. Several voiced frustration that Portland is spend-ing money to care for homeless people who move to the city to take advantage of its public services.

“Should Portland be treating outsid-ers?” said Doug Fuss, president of Port-land’s Downtown District.

Statistics are unclear about how much of the local homeless population has re-cently moved to the city from elsewhere. But speakers at the meeting referred to percentages as high as 50 percent.

A Congress Street business owner said homeless people should meet strict eligibility requirements before they can receive shelter or services.

“And why should someone move to Portland if they can’t afford to live here, anyway?” he added.

Another downtown business owner complained that her customers have felt threatened by homeless people who blocked the entrance to her store. “There’s something wrong when we’re giving to people who don’t give back,” she said.

But many speakers applauded the work of the task force and supported the expansion of homeless services without regard to residency.

“Everyone deserves help,” said Jim Devine, an advocate with Homeless Voices for Justice.

The task force recommendations are expected to be presented to the council Oct. 15.
