Trusiani, Cusano ousted in TopshamBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Voters on Tuesday ousted a pair of in-cumbents from the Board of Selectmen and School Admin-istrative District 75 Board of Directors.

David Douglass Jr., who challenged incumbents Ronald Riendeau and James Trusiani for one of two seats on the Board of Selectmen, led all vote-getters in the selectmen’s race.

Riendeau won the second seat and Trusiani failed to be re-elected.

“I’m okay,” Trusiani said Tuesday night. “... I was elected three times, never with a lot of majority, and it showed again tonight.”

James Conners, Jane Scease and Jeffrey Wolkens won the three open seats on the School Administrative District 75 Board of Directors, defeating incum-bent James Cusano.

Douglass, of Foreside Road, received 1,823 votes to Rien-deau’s 1,754 and Trusiani’s 1,697. Riendeau has served most of four terms on the board; fellow Main Street resi-dent Trusiani has served three terms.

7 Town Councilor Benet Pols on Tuesday defeated William Dana and Byron Watson to be the next at-large councilor.

In the School Board at-large election, newcomer William Thompson defeated incumbent Jack Jones.

Just over 6,500 Brunswick residents cast ballots on Tuesday, or about 44 percent of all registered voters, ac-cording to Town Clerk Fran Smith.

Town CouncilPols received nearly 47

percent of the total in his race with 2,820 votes. Dana came in second, with 1,969 votes, or nearly 33 percent. Watson was third with 1,217, or about 20 percent.

High Street resident Peter Heinz, who had 841 votes, and Charles Turcotte of Middle Street, who received 508.

Councilor David Sinclair of Meadow Way, who received 292 votes, was unopposed for a second term in Ward 6.

Omo, who has served two

terms on the council, said Wednesday that he will not seek a recount.

He said he thought Merrill “did her part and got out there and ran her campaign. I didn’t run as strong ... a campaign as I could have.”

Omo added that he has “very much enjoyed” his time on the council.

Merrill, 39, of High Street, is married and has four chil-dren. She is freelance writer who has lived in Bath almost 15 years and been a volunteer at the Dike-Newell Elementary School.

“Clearly it was tight race, and I appreciate the time that Mr. Omo has served the city,” Merrill said. “And I hope to

continue representing our neighborhood in a way that’s best for Bath. And I hope that people will get involved, par-ticularly with the issues com-ing up regarding the future of the Skatepark.”

State to recover $1.3M from Sewall after court rulingBy Alex Lear

BATH — The state will recover $1.3 million in sales, gasoline and special fuel taxes that were diverted by former M.W. Sewall & Co. President Philip Sewall, according to Attorney General William J. Schneider’s office.

The AG’s office said Sewall was found guilty Wednesday in West Bath District Court on three counts of failure to pay the taxes collected, and that he was fined $2,000 on each count. The court ordered Sewall to pay $50,000 within 12 months, along with the $225,000 he has already paid to Maine Revenue Services.

“The agreement reached requires Philip Sewall to personally pay out a large amount of money to cover the unpaid tax-es owed by the company and other assets are available to repay the state through the bankruptcy,” Schneider said in the release. “The remaining companies of

M.W. Sewall are under new leadership and can move forward. This is a good outcome for the citizens of Maine.”

The family-owned company operated a heating oil delivery business and 11 service stations and convenience stores in the Mid-Coast region. Philip Sewall did not pay Maine Revenue Services the money collected as sales and fuel taxes from January to March 2009; instead, he used the funds to pay for his own com-pensation and other business expenses, the AG’s office said in a press release.

The company filed for bankruptcy pro-tection in March 2009 and its assets are in the process of being sold, according to the AG’s office. The state is working with the bankruptcy trustee for the company to

Brunswick considers TIFs for MRRA, SchottCouncilors question Navy housing dealBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — Town councilors and members of the public got their first look on Monday at two tax increment financ-ing proposals for Brunswick Landing and the former U.S. Navy housing.

Details are still being worked out, but the plans would create two TIF districts at the former Brunswick Naval Air Sta-tion, one in the former military housing at Cook’s Corner and another in the

McKeen Street neighborhood.Councilors also expressed concern

about some of the details of a proposed purchase-and-sale agreement between the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Au-thority, which owns the land underneath the former Navy houses, and Affordable Midcoast Housing, which purchased the buildings last fall.

How the TIFs would workAt Brunswick Landing, millions of dol-

lars in property and buildings that were previously owned by the Navy and not subject to taxation are entering the town’s tax rolls in 2012. While that means more

property tax revenue for Brunswick, it also means higher county taxes and less money from the state for education and general purpose revenue sharing.

Steve Levesque, MRRA executive di-rector, estimated that without a TIF, the town would only keep 30 percent to 40 percent of all new tax revenue generated by the property on the former Navy base.

But if the town creates TIF districts, that would keep the value of the former Navy property and buildings from factor-ing into the town’s valuation, and avoid the increased county taxes and reduced state revenue.

The TIF plan proposes splitting any new property taxes generated at Bruns-wick Landing between the town and MRRA.

In the airport area, 100 percent of taxes from aeronautical uses that are subject to taxation would go to MRRA for the first 20 years of the TIF’s 30-year duration. Non-aeronautical uses, like Maine Tool & Machine, would not have any taxes returned to MRRA.

The second TIF district would be for the remainder of the land on the former Navy base that MRRA intends to redevel-op. A memo from Town Manager Gary

Brown to the Town Council outlined op-tions for tax revenue sharing, including:

• Splitting the revenue equally between MRRA and the town.

• Capping the total amount returned to MRRA over the 30-year life of the TIF.

• Gradually decreasing the percentage of the revenue that goes to MRRA, until 100 percent is returned to Brunswick.

• Or linking the revenue sharing to job creation.

Levesque said MRRA intends to use its portion of the tax revenue for infra-structure improvements and maintenance.

The TIF districts on the former Navy housing are between the town and Af-fordable Midcoast Housing, developer George Schott’s company, which owns all 702 homes, although not the land beneath them. MRRA and AMH are hoping to sign an agreement to transfer the land in the next few weeks.

News briefsThe town recently used a $20,000 grant

from the Maine State Planning Office to hire consultants to gather input from the public. The study also investigated what would make sense for the site eyed for waterfront access: the area of Green Street, near the old fire station and the Androscoggin River.

A public meeting on a draft waterfront access study report will be held Nov. 21, and a final plan is expected in December.

Voters approve $33M bond for Civic CenterBy Emily Parkhurst

PORTLAND — Voters on Tuesday over-whelmingly supported a $33 million bond referendum to renovate the Cumberland County Civic Center.

According to unofficial results, Cumberland County voters approved the bond referendum 45,877 to 31,559, or 59 percent to 41 percent, with several small towns not reporting.

“I’m extremely pleased we were able to get the message out,” Civic Center Board of Trustees Chairman Neal Pratt said Tues-day night.

He said the outcome made it clear voters believe the Civic Center is well managed and will continue to be an economic engine for the region.

“It’s a resounding vote in favor of those principals,” he said.

As expected, greater Portland voters generally supported the bond, while voters from outlying county towns were not as enthusiastic.

In Portland, the bond was approved by a 2 to 1 margin, 12,732 to 6,493, in unof-ficial results.

Voters approved the measure 2,499 to 1,466 in Falmouth, 1,644 to 1,105 in

Cumberland, 1,688 to 1,336 in Freeport, 1,992 to 1,186 in Yarmouth, 658-616 in North Yarmouth, 3,537 to 2,252 in Bruns-wick, 1,095 to 921 in Harpswell, 2,419 to 1,160 in Cape Elizabeth, 4,314 to 2,944 in Scarborough, and 4,322 to 2,642 in South Portland in unofficial results Tuesday night.

In New Gloucester, however, the ref-erendum lost 899-727, and in Harrison it lost 527-284. It also narrowly lost in Windham, 2,292 to 2,170, and Standish, 1,280 to 1,217.

In Gray, the bond was approved by a razor-thin margin, 1,166 to 1,152. It was also approved in Gorham.

The 34-year-old Civic Center on Spring Street in Portland hosts concerts, shows, conferences and the Portland Pirates pro-fessional hockey team.

Pirates owner Brian Petrovek has said the team will sign a 10-year lease for use of the Civic Center if the bond passed. Pratt said lease negotiations will begin as soon as possible.

The Civic Center board will now begin the process of choosing an architect. Con-struction is expected to begin next summer.

The total cost of the 25-year bond, including interest, has been estimated at

$55 million.The bond will pay for improvements,

including new seats, wheelchair-accessible seating, additional restrooms and concourse space, improved backstage areas, club seating, a new loading dock and external facade improvements. There will be ap-proximately the same number of seats after renovation as there are now – 7,500 for concerts, 6,800 fixed.

The Civic Center has been losing money for the past few years, which proponents of the bond said was because of the cur-rent state of the building. Trustees said the improvements will be paid for by the ad-ditional revenue generated by the updated building.

Opponents, however, said taxpayers should not be asked to pay for an entertain-ment center when people are struggling to pay their own bills, and questioned whether the additional revenue would be enough to cover the repairs.

“Now we need to hold county and Civic Center officials accountable for delivering the many benefits they promised voters in

exchange for our $55 million,” said Port-land attorney Dave Canarie, who opposed the bond.

There was no organized opposition to the referendum, and Canarie said those indi-viduals who openly opposed the bond were up against a financially well-supported organization.

“Proponents of the bond had a massive campaign war chest and used it very ef-fectively,” he said.

At the polls Tuesday voters were mixed in their thoughts on the bond.

“It’s a lot of money, but that place is a dump,” said Portland resident Sandie Barr, who supported the bond.

However, in Falmouth, where turnout was higher than expected, voters were not as quick to support the Civic Center.

“I think the Civic Center would be better suited to be outside of the downtown area,” said Falmouth Town Councilor Will Armit-age. “And it seems like a lot of money.”

He said he did not support the bond.Krista Riccioni, who brought her two

young children, Grace and Ryan, to vote with her, said she didn’t mind voting yes to support the Civic Center bond.

But her daughter, Grace, was particularly interested in the two casino questions on the ballot.

“I don’t think gambling is right,” she said. “People want to get money, but they just lose money.”

Proposed Downeaster schedule a blow to Freeport, BrunswickBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — Amtrak Downeas-ter passenger rail service hasn’t started north of Portland, but the number of daily round trips to Brunswick has already been reduced.

The change was good news to some Brunswick residents. But the resulting train schedule could be bad news for businesses in Brunswick and Freeport that expected the Downeaster to deliver day-trippers and shoppers with money to spend.

Patricia Quinn, executive director of the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority, said Nov. 4 that when the expanded service begins next fall, the Downeaster will only make two daily trips to Freeport and Brunswick. The train was expected to make at least three and eventu-ally four or five a day.

The decrease is due to a delay in con-struction of a train maintenance facility in Brunswick.

The building would house the trains overnight for routine maintenance and cleaning. That would allow the Downeas-ter to end all of its runs in Brunswick, not in Portland, and increase the number of daily runs between the two stops.

Without the Brunswick facility, the train will have to travel between Brunswick and Portland twice a day without passengers.

In response to some Brunswick resi-dents’ concerns about environmental and health impacts, NNERPA increased the size of the building from 40,000 square feet to 60,000 square feet – large enough to house all three train sets indoors.

But in a Nov. 3 letter to Brunswick Town Manager Gary Brown, Quinn said increasing the building’s size to mitigate the impact of noise and vibration on nearby homes would push the project over

budget.She later said initial estimates put the

cost of the expanded building at around $7.5 million. NNERPA had only budgeted about $5 million for the project.

Quinn said NNEPRA is hoping to se-cure the additional funding from the fed-eral Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, program. The bulk of the cost will still be funded by state bonds.

The reduction in daily round trips isn’t as problematic to Sandy Updegraph, ex-ecutive director of the Freeport Economic Development Corp., as the timing of the trains that do run.

According to Quinn, a preliminary schedule has northbound trains passing through Freeport just before 12:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Trains heading south from Brunswick will stop in Freeport just after 7 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

This schedule would not allow a visitor from Boston to spend the day shopping in

Freeport, Updegraph noted.“The impact of having fewer, rather

than more, round trips is certainly obvi-ous in that there would be fewer people passing through, but the bigger impact is if NNERPA is able to get a (layover) facil-ity in Brunswick ... those additional trips would be later in the day, and so we could have people ... come from the Boston area and spend the entire day in Freeport and go back that same day,” Updegraph said.

Wayne Davis, chairman of the rail-advocacy group TrainRiders/Northeast, called the prospect of beginning service to Brunswick with only two trips a day “frightening.”

“The frequency of service is one of the big selling points on any train service,” he said. “It’s very difficult to make two trips a day fit very many people’s personal schedules.”

Davis expressed concern that potential Downeaster passengers could be turned off by the infrequent schedule, and suggested

the service could have started with four or even five daily trips to Boston.

He also expressed concern about the impact of decreased service on the Bruns-wick business community, especially new businesses at Brunswick Station that may have been expecting more than two daily round trips.

“Everybody is looking to traffic that would be generated by the five round trips,” he said. “It’s a great disappointment for us after all these years.”

Michael Lyne, on-site project manager for JHR Development, which built Bruns-wick Station and the Inn at Brunswick Sta-tion, said the company was never promised a set number of daily train runs. But he guessed that “all of the small businesses up and down Maine Street are looking for-ward to more bites of the apple vs. fewer. Any Amtrak train rolling into town is bet-ter than none, but if we can create more

Brunswick Farmers Market may have to move next yearBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Mall is being used to death.

Once a healthy lawn, much of the town’s prime public space is now a patchwork of muddy ruts, tire tracks and expanses of bare ground.

According to Tom Farrell, director of Parks and Recreation, the degradation has reached a point where it’s interfering with the public’s ability to safely enjoy the open space.

“Right now the (soil) compaction is so solid that when we get rain it tends to say on the surface” rather than percolating down through the soil, he said, creating a slick surface.

In order to prevent further damage, Farrell said the mall needs a break.

At a minimum, the ground would be aerated, and probably reseeded or sod-

ded in the spring. Because the new grass would need time to establish itself, Far-rell said the damaged portion of the mall would be closed for at least a month.

While the repair efforts won’t restrict ice skating this winter, they will require the Farmers Market to find a temporary new home.

Town staff met with local farmers on Oct. 31 to find a new spot for the market, and are meeting again Nov. 14 to tour the proposed location: the narrower portion of the mall that is closer to downtown.

Farrell said the group considered sev-eral alternate locations, and decided that keeping the market on the mall, albeit in a different area, is preferable.

“We all came to the conclusion that if we could make this work, this would be the one that is most appealing, I think, to the market as well as the public,” he said.

Tom Fair, of Applewald Farm and the president of the Brunswick Farmer Mar-ket, declined to comment on the process of choosing a new location.

But Dick Keough, of Keough Family Farm, was part of the group that met with Farrell. He said the new location prob-ably won’t affect business.

And Cathy Karonis, of Fairwinds Farm, agreed.

The question of how to care for the public space is nothing new.

On several occasions over the past 10 years, the Town Council has discussed how to balance preservation and use of

the mall. It has also moved the Farmers Market before. In fact, the market used to be on the lower mall – exactly where Farrell is proposing to put it next spring – but was moved to its current spot over concerns that soil compaction was harm-ing the trees.

A possible long-term solution is sim-ply to rotate the market between the two halves of the mall, allowing the soil and grass to recuperate every other year.

“It’s the premier public gathering place in our community,” Farrell said, “and our intent is to continue to maintain it so it can be used in that fashion.”

High court to hear ‘smart’-meter argumentsLawmaker questions opt-out feesBy Emily Parkhurst

PORTLAND — The debate over Central Maine Power Co.’s “smart” electrical me-ters is headed to the state’s highest court.

A group of CMP customers filed the appeal last week with the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

They claim the Maine Public Utilities Commission, which dismissed a request for an investigation into the safety of wireless meters, violated the state statute that re-quires the regulatory agency to ensure utili-ties provide safe service to their customers.

“They have specifically said on several occasions that they won’t make a decision on these (health and security) issues,” said Ed Friedman, a Bowdoinham resident and lead complainant. “When they specifically avoid their responsibility, that makes the whole darn thing null and void.”

The PUC declined to investigate the 19-person complaint on Aug. 31, declaring that a previous probe that resulted in requir-ing CMP to offer opt-outs to customers who do not wish to have the meters installed on their homes or businesses was sufficient.

The smart meters transmit customer data wirelessly to CMP, and will allow custom-ers to track their electricity use in real time. The plan is to give customers the option of using electricity during off-peak hours, which could save them money and reduce

the use of fossil fuel sources used mostly during peak hours.

But PUC complaints rolled in last year as some customers expressed concerns that the meters were not secure, could cause fires in homes with older electrical systems, and could affect the health of some people.

In May, the PUC required CMP to offer its customers the option of opting out of the smart meter program. The opt-outs require customers pay an additional fee to keep their old meters, or to have the wireless capabilities of the smart meter turned off.

Friedman said the decision to make customers pay for opting out of a service that critics say has not been proved safe or secure was a mistake.

“In reality it’s a false choice. We see this as a great experiment,” Friedman said. “This is a great experiment on Mainers, af-fecting both our health and privacy.”

Friedman said his group has also called for the resignation of the commissioners who made the decision not to investigate the safety and security of the meters, and said he’d like to see the smart meter pro-gram abandoned.

“The state statute says (the PUC com-missioners) need to ensure service is safe. It doesn’t say just make sure there’s a good chance service is safe, it says it must be safe,” Friedman said.

In addition to the PUC appeal, state Rep. Roberta Beavers, D-South Berwick, has filed emergency legislation that would pre-vent those who have opted out of the smart

meter program from having to pay the $40 initial opt-out fee and a $12-per-month fee for meter readings.

“Essentially (the bill) is to remedy the inequity that was created by the opt-out charges,” Beavers said.

Beavers said she did not understand why people who did not want expensive equip-ment installed on their houses would have to pay a tax to keep their old meters.

“If people don’t want this on their dwell-ing, they should not have to have them,” she said.

Beavers said she has opted out of smart meter installation, but does not necessar-ily have a problem with the program. Her concern is the charge assessed to those who opted out.

“They’ve already put the $40 (opt-out charge) on my bill. I’m going to contest it,” she said.

Beavers’ initial emergency legislation was not accepted by the Legislative Coun-cil, but she said she will appeal that deci-sion on Nov. 17.

CMP spokesman John Carroll said the company is still on track to have more than 600,000 smart meters installed by the first quarter of 2012.

He said the company does not have any

Finding a good medium is rareHave you ever been to a medium? Not a psychic. A

medium.I saw a medium once. She told me all manner of

fascinating things. And at the end of an hour filled with insights into children, business and family relationships, I exclaimed, “But wait! What about my love life?!” To which she dryly responded: “Three to five. That’s what I’m seeing. Three to five.”

To my widowed ears, this sounded more like a prison

sentence than the number of additional years I’d be wait-ing to meet Mr. Wonderful.

It was depressing. And even more disturbing was the fact that my “three to five years” of waiting was reportedly going to yield a man who would, accord-ing to her, be tall, as much as seven to eight years my junior, and have strawberry blond hair.

Now, I come from a fam-ily of northern Europeans. Romantically, I have never been attracted to blondes. I generally lust after men with dark hair. Addition-ally, I told her I had already dated the very man she was describing, and it had not gone particularly well.

The next vision this woman had was of a piece of

meat. As in, filet mignon. On a plate. I think she said it was raw.

OK, so this could yield many interpretations.I projected that perhaps the meat on the plate was a

reference to men mistakenly attempting to take me out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse; beefy men, or men cooking up filets for me on their back-porch grills.

Or maybe I was, indeed, just supposed to be viewing the men in this “three-to-five-year” waiting period as pieces of meat – shallow yet enjoyable ways to pass the time.

That seemed a bit cold-hearted, but hey, I’d paid the woman a sum of cash equal to our monthly cable bill, so I needed a positive spin. Waiting half a decade for the arrival of Prince Charming just wasn’t doing it for me – unless he was a wealthy cattle rancher who could get me an unlimited complimentary supply of my favorite cowboy boots from that little shop in Boston.

As I left her “office,” trailing behind the friend whose suggestion it was to venture into the world of those with a window into the future, I remember feeling a bit upset

at the dismal dating situation this medium chick had left me to contemplate.

Really? Three to five more years? As a woman who had already been dating for half a decade, this seemed unfair and unnecessarily cruel news. Especially after I’d paid her in cash.

At first, I rebelled against her unfair sentence. I mean, I don’t really believe in most of that new-agey stuff anyway. I certainly saw no reason to allow some self-proclaimed medium’s incense-induced prediction to put a gray cloud over the next 36 to 60 months of my life – potentially tossing me into a dating tailspin.

In the end, I decided to make the most of it. I thought, “OK. Great. If this is to be my plight for the next three to five years, I’ll just resign myself to my fate. And I’ll

relish the abundance of dinners out for filet mignon, cooked medium rare – with sauteed mushrooms and a nice bottle of cabernet sauvignon, with blackberry undertones.”

Still, it’s tough to get excited about a date when you’re already armed with the knowledge he’s a cosmic no-go. Even if he does grill a mean shish kebab.

A full year passed after “My Favorite Medium’s” prediction, and sure enough, no Mr. Fabulous. Then summer No. 2 came and went. There were a couple of possible Mr. Wonderfuls, but no real deal. Next summer will mark the end of year No. 3 of my sentencing. Hopefully, by then, I’ll no longer be eying the guy at the butcher counter at Whole Foods – and my rare medium will be proved correct.

A happy bird is a $100 birdA couple of years back, we ordered a goose for

Christmas instead of our customary turkey. For some odd reason, how much the all-natural, free-range, organic bird was going to cost hadn’t oc-cur to me until I went to pick it up at the corner grocer. Very tasty, but it’s hard to really enjoy a $100 goose.

This Thanksgiving, we have had a request from one of our environ-mentally conscious daughters and her hus-band for a “happy bird.” They don’t care whether the turkey is certified organic as long as the turkey “had a life,” meaning it was not factory farmed, raised in a cage and pumped up on steroids until its breast was so big it couldn’t stand up.

So I went down to the corner grocer to place an order for a happy bird. An organic turkey from just up the road would have cost $4.69 a pound. Reluctant to follow a $100 goose with a $100 gobbler, I ordered an all-natural turkey from up the coast for $3.99 per pound.

As it happens I had caught a glimpse of those $80 Thanksgiving turkeys on my way back from Belfast a couple of days before, a flock of hundreds of big white birds scratching around in the mud in a pen on the side of Route 1. They didn’t look all that happy to me, but then maybe, as the local grocer suggested, they had just been rounded up for market and had been happily roaming the farm until then.

Spending $80 on a turkey (about four times as much as supermarket bird) strikes me as something of an exercise in feel-good environmentalism, but if it makes my family happy, so be it.

Food is about my only extravagance. We’ve lived in the same little house for 30 years, don’t go on exotic vacations, don’t drive expensive cars, and I buy most of my clothes at the L.L. Bean employee store. The pants I’m wearing (in fact all my pants) cost 25 cents, so I guess I can afford an $80 bird once a year.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a family of two between the ages of 51 and 70 (that’s us, sweetheart) can eat a nutritious diet on a thrifty

plan for $81 a week, on a low-cost plan for $103 a week, a moderate plan for $128 a week, and a liberal plan for $160. I guess that makes us banquet-fed pigs at $200 a week. That’s what I just calculated we spend on food and that doesn’t include takeout pho from the noodle bar and a dollar a day for my morn-ing bagel.

I do most of the grocery shopping and, yes, I do tend to splurge. But, in case you hadn’t noticed, food prices hit an all-time high in February and haven’t backed down much. Weather extremes caused by climate change, smaller crop yields, diversion of crops for bio-fuels, and higher demand driven by population growth and improved standards of living in places like China are generally blamed for the increase in the cost of food. I used to worry about children in India starving. Now I wonder how a young family with a couple of kids can afford to eat.

When I ran into my sister-in-law Marji at the supermarket a few weeks ago, I asked her if she had noticed the increases.

“Everything costs $5 now,” Marji observed.I checked out her thesis as I did my shopping. Pork

chops, $4.49 per pound. Cheerios, $4.30. Kraft Mac ‘n’ Cheese, $4.63. Fritos, $4.90. Haagen Daz rum raisin ice cream, $4.59. Mixed nuts, $5.99. Weetabix, $5.47. Fresh pollock, $4.99. Yep, Marj was right, everything at the grocery store does cost $5 now.

I do feel guilty about spending so much and eating so well when others have so little, but the whole con-cept of food justice is somewhat new to me.

On one hand, paying the true cost of food is a fundamental tenet of ethical food consumption. Eat-ing local and eating organic cost more, like that $100 goose and $80 turkey. On the other hand, if we just ate peanut butter sandwiches for Thanksgiving, we’d save money that we could donate to Oxfam or the local food pantry.

Of course, with the drought in the South driving peanut prices up from $450 a ton last year to $1,200 a ton this year, we’ll probably soon be paying $5 a pound for peanut butter, too.

Maybe I should have just ordered the $100 organic bird.

Fall sports season comes to sudden endThe Brunswick football and

Brunswick and Morse girls’ soccer teams all had high hopes entering last week, but all saw their seasons come to a disap-pointing close.

FootballThe Brunswick football team

entered 2011 as one of the fa-vorites in Eastern Class A. In the opener, at home, the Drag-ons dominated Bangor in most facets of the game, but lost six fumbles and suffered a 21-20 defeat. Brunswick then rattled off six straight wins (by an average score of 33-10) before losing at Lawrence, 10-7. The Dragons closed with a 51-0 win at Mt. Ararat to finish 7-2 and earn the No. 3 seed in the region.

Brunswick had to go to No. 2 Bangor Friday night and ex-pected to reverse the result from the first meeting, but it wasn’t to be. The Rams struck early, re-turning the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Bangor went up 14-0 minutes later, before the Dragons answered on a long TD run from

RogeR S. Duncan / FoR The FoRecaSTeRMorse goalkeeper Sadia Crosby goes over the back of captain Kerry

Cummings to make a save during last week’s Western Class B Final versus Falmouth. The Shipbuilders scored first, but couldn’t hold on and lost, 2-1.

Jared Jensen. The Rams then ended all doubt with 14 points in both the second and third periods and, although Dylan Walton had a fourth period touchdown run, Brunswick’s year ended at 7-3 with a 42-14 setback.

Girls’ soccerMorse’s girls’ soccer team

stole headlines all season. In their first season in Western B, the Shipbuilders won all 14 contests and earned the top seed for the regional playoffs. After eliminat-ing No. 9 Lake Region (4-0) and No. 5 Maranacook (3-1), Morse hosted defending Class B state champion Falmouth in the re-gional final last Wednesday.

The Shipbuilders and Yachts-men had no postseason history. The game was a great opportu-nity for Morse to prove it was legitimate, even though the Ship-builders play what is perceived to be a lesser schedule.

After 80 minutes, there was no doubt Morse was for real, but unfortunately for the Shipbuild-ers, they weren’t able to advance.

Morse did take a 1-0 lead on a goal from Katie Henrikson and had chances to extend it, but that was it for the offense. Falmouth then got a pair of second half goals from Cassie Darrow and went on to a 2-1 win, ending the Shipbuilders’ campaign at 16-1.

Brunswick’s girls were 13-1 in the regular season, losing only at home to defending regional champion Bangor (5-1). The Dragons earned the No. 2 seed for the Eastern Class A playoffs and advanced with home wins over No. 7 Hampden Academy (6-1) and No. 3 Oxford Hills (5-0).

Brunswick then had to go to undefeated, top-ranked Bangor for last Wednesday’s regional champion. The Dragons played the Rams closer than in the regu-lar season meeting, but Bangor got one goal in each off and held Brunswick at bay, winning, 2-0. The Rams went on to beat Scarborough,4 -0, to win the Class A championship.

The Dragons season ended at 15-2.

Good times continue at Bowdoin

BRIan BeaRD / FoR The FoRecaSTeRLeft: Members of the Bowdoin volleyball team exult after winning the NESCAC championship for the first time. The Polar Bears downed Middlebury

in the final, 3-0, to improve to 26-2. Prior to this year, Bowdoin had never won a conference tournament match. Sophomore setter Sophia Cornew was named NESCAC Player of the Week. The Polar Bears will next play in the NCAA Division III tournament Friday against Baruch, in Springfield, Mass.

Right: Bowdoin senior Elizabeth Clegg controls the ball during NESCAC playoff action last weekend. The defending national champion Polar Bears blanked Trinity (2-0) in the semifinals, then won the conference crown for the seventh time with a 2-1 victory over Middlebury (Clegg had the game

winner). Top-ranked Bowdoin has a bye into Saturday’s NCAA Division III second round where it will host either Endicott or Keene State.

‘August: Osage County’ is powerful dramaBy Scott Andrews

One of the most powerful stage dramas in recent years was Tracy Letts’ “August: Osage County,” which opened on Broad-way in 2007 and ran a year and a half – a remarkable performance for a straight play. When Good Theater presented its Maine premiere last fall, it broke all of the company’s attendance records, and many would-be attendees had to be turned away.

So it’s no surprise that artistic director Brian P. Allen decided to bring it back for the 2011-2012 season. And equally remarkably, he’s got 12 of the 13 actors he had last year. “August: Osage County” runs through Nov. 20 at the top of Munjoy Hill in Portland.

Two miles west on Congress Street, One Longfellow Square has an interesting lineup of shows. Singer-songwriter-guitar-ist Leon Redbone appears on Friday. The James Montgomery Blues Band takes the stage on Saturday and David Peterson’s Old Time Country Revue is featured on Tuesday.

‘August: Osage County’One of the most powerful American

plays in recent decades is Tracy Letts’ “August: Osage County,” a darkly co-medic drama about the disintegration, implosion and self-destruction of three generations of a Midwestern family.

The playwright is a member of Chi-cago’s Steppenwolf Company, which first produced the script in 2006. When it transferred to Broadway in 2007, “August: Osage County” won both the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. (It also won four other Tonys.) Good Theater produced the Maine pre-miere last fall, and it was a sensational success, topping all attendance records in the company’s history.

It’s back for Good Theater’s 2011-2012 season, and its just a powerful as it was last year.

“August: Osage County” is a sprawling play with a cast of 13 and a huge set. The original production recreated a three-story house; Good Theater’s set, designed by Steve Underwood, spills out of its avail-able space in all dimensions. Although the formal time span covers only a few weeks, the play extensively revisits long-

Good Theater.

past episodes in the lives of the characters, giving the impression that decades roll by.

Director Brian P. Allen has assembled a top-notch professional cast. The action mostly revolves around the confrontation of two bitterly opposed characters, an aging woman and her middle-age daugh-ter. The drama begins when patriarch of the family – who describes himself as a “world-class alcoholic” – goes missing and the family gathers at the homestead in rural Oklahoma. The first act concludes with the sheriff announcing that his body has been found at the bottom of a local reservoir, an apparent suicide.

The many conflicts that were set up in the first act reach a climax in the second, and an uneasy resolution is reached in the third.

Both of the two principal women char-acters get bravura performances. Lisa Stathoplos is sensational as the 65-year-old matriarch of the family, a melancholy, strong-willed woman who is addicted to prescription drugs and possesses a razor-edged tongue. She’s more than matched by Kathleen Kimball as the conflicted daughter who is vainly attempting to keep her own family together – her professor husband is having an affair with one of his college students – while she simultaneously tries to control her mother’s kith and kin.

The language is at times very crude and the entire experience is an emotional roller-coaster. It has much the character of a multi-episode soap opera, as hidden secrets are revealed at regular intervals during the play’s three-hour-plus running time. Several secondary plots are interwo-ven throughout. Incest and adultery are involved, and each of the 13 characters has to work through his or her own set of demons. Most of them are unsuccessful.

There’s a lot of humor involved, and Letts’ wry observations on many subjects add much to the theatrical experience.

I’ve been attending Good Theater since its inception, and “August: Osage County”

is definitely the most powerful drama the company has mounted. I was profoundly impressed by the 2010 production, and the current one is equally good – perhaps even improved in some of the finer points of performance.

Good Theater presents “August: Osage County” at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress St. (top of Munjoy Hill) in Port-land through Nov. 20. Performance times are 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Call Good Theater at 885-5883.

One Longfellow SquareOne Longfellow Square, at the western

extremity of Portland’s arts district, boasts a top-notch lineup of musicians over the next week. Two of the performers special-

ize in recreating old-time music and an-other is a band led by a harmonica player from Boston.

Friday, Nov. 11: Leon Redbone has been touring his one-man vaudeville act for 30-plus years and he’s recorded 15 albums. His specialty is recreating songs that were popular in the first half of the 20th century – music from the ragtime era, the Roaring Twenties, Great Depression and World War II. Accompanying himself on guitar – he’s a master of the finger picking style – Red-bone provides an intimate, understated, low-key experience. His costume is part of his shtick: Panama hat, dark sunglasses, white coat, black trousers and black string tie. He’s got quite a legion of fans, includ-ing Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan.

Saturday, Nov. 12: In 1970, while at-tending Boston University, James Mont-gomery formed the James Montgomery Band. His inimitable harmonica playing combined with his incredibly energetic live shows led to the band’s quick climb up the New England music scene ladder. Within two years, the James Montgomery Band was among the hottest acts in Bos-ton – along with J. Geils and Aerosmith – and they were quickly signed to a multi-album deal with Capricorn Records. To date that’s resulted in six releases.

Tuesday, Nov. 15: David Peterson once intended to enter the ministry, but he found his true calling in resurrecting and performing old-time country music. He is best known for forming 1946, a bluegrass band that was numerically named for the starting date of Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys, the genre’s seminal ensemble. His most recent project is the Old-Time Coun-try Revue, which looks at Nashville music during the 1940s through 1960s, channel-ing long-ago Grand Ole Opry stars such as Hank Williams Sr. and Jimmy Rogers.

One Longfellow Square is at the corner of Congress and State streets in downtown Portland. All performances are at 8 p.m. Call 761-1757.

comment on the lawsuit. In the past, Carroll has stopped short of saying smart meters are safe, and has emphasized that it is not CMP’s job to test the safety of the meters, deferring that decision to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other experts.

The Maine Center for Disease Control previously stated that it did not find “any

consistent or convincing evidence to support a concern for health effects related to the use of radiofrequency in the range of frequencies and power used by smart meters.”

That statement came before the World Health Organization this year added ra-diation from cell phones and other wireless devices, such as smart meters, as a possible carcinogen.

At-large seatfrom page 1

group that opposed the construction of Amtrak’s train maintenance facility be-tween Church Road and Stanwood Street.

Pols’ public stance against the chosen site of the train building was the primary reason that resident Julie Wise cast her vote for him on Tuesday.

She said she liked how Pols stood up at an August forum on the proposed facil-ity and spoke out against the site, while other councilors did not. His outspoken nature and ability to look at the big pic-ture, she said, distinguished him from the other candidates.

“He brings a skill set that’s different than the other two,” she said.

Anna Boll also cited the train facility as a factor, and added that she found Pols to be “open to listening to my concerns” and readily available.

Watson said he wasn’t shocked by the outcome, and had expected the election to “either be a squeaker or I was going to go down.”

He said he faced an uphill battle against Dana and especially Pols, who he said had more time and money to spend on the election.

“When you’re working every day it’s hard to go to doors and shake hands,” Watson said. “I think that the results last night show that an average citizen working paycheck-to-paycheck has little chance in an uphill battle against big money.”

Undeterred, Watson said he “abso-lutely” intends to run for the council again in the future, but probably not in an at-large race.

Dana said he is unlikely to run again any time soon.

“It’s a big time commitment, and I think probably for now I’m not willing to make that kind of commitment again,” he said.

In the uncontested council races, incumbent Councilor Gerald Favreau was re-elected in District 5 and Sarah Brayman was elected to replace Pols in District 7.

School BoardThompson, who received nearly 63

percent of the votes for the at-large seat on the school board, defeated Jones, 3,092 to 1,838.

He said he thought his background and door-to-door campaign helped him win the race.

“I’m born and raised in Brunswick, I think that had a lot to do with it,” Thompson said, and “the fact that the people of Brunswick want to maintain their academic standards in their schools, but also make sure that property taxes are kept in check.”

Jones said that his opponent cam-paigned more vigorously than he did, and agreed that Thompson’s history in town undoubtedly worked in his favor.

Thompson’s visibility was a factor for voters Sally and Bill Coonradt, who are new to town. They said they recognized Thompson’s name more than his op-ponent’s.

Diana Dove noticed her neighbor had a lawn sign for Thompson, which she said convinced her to vote for him.

In the uncontested School Board races, Michele Joyce and James Grant were re-elected in Districts 7 and 5, respectively.

State referendumsBrunswick voters overwhelmingly sup-

ported Question 1, the people’s veto to restore same-day voter registration. More than 68 percent, 4,416 votes, were in fa-vor of the referendum, while less than 32 percent, or 2,072, voted against it.

About 61 percent of voters, 3,920, op-posed Question 2, which sought support for slot machines at harness-racing tracks in Biddeford and in Washington County. About 2,500, or 39 percent, voted in sup-

port of the question.Question 3, which asked voters to al-

low a casino to be built in Lewiston, was rejected by an even wider majority. Just over 69 percent, or 4,465 voters, were against the item and only 31 percent, or 1,997, voted for the casino.

Finally, a majority of Brunswick vot-ers approved Question 4, a constitutional amendment changing the years of re-districting the Maine legislature. About 58 percent, or 3,742, voted in favor of the item, while just under 38 percent, or 2,260, voted against it.

Voter turnoutSmith said the 44 percent voter turn-

out was higher than she expected for an

off-year with no statewide or national candidates.

“My feeling is for this type of an election, (44 percent) is really solid for Brunswick,” she said.

volume for small businesses here without adding cars, that should be the goal.”

But for many of the residents of the Bouchard Drive neighborhood in Bruns-wick, which borders the site of the future train maintenance facility, the delay in constructing the building was welcome news.

“We think it’s encouraging that they’re waiting,” said Anna Nelson, a Bouchard Drive resident and neighborhood represen-

consideration.“The Crooker site is not an option,” she

said in an email.Quinn said the NNEPRA board is com-

mitted to finding the funding to make the project happen.

“Every passing day we realize the importance of the facility being there,” she said. “The longer the facility is not in Brunswick will only constrain the service for the entire corridor.”

honestly getting elected is probably the easy part. Now it’s living up to what your ideas are and what you want to do,” Dou-glass said. “The work’s really just begun.”

Douglass, 38, is married and has two children, and he has lived in Topsham for 10 years. He was a firefighter-emergency medical technician with the Brunswick Fire Department from 1996-2006, a cap-tain with the Topsham Fire Department from 1998-2004, and has worked in sales and marketing with the R.J. Reynolds To-bacco Co. since 2006.

Douglass joined the Topsham Finance Committee in 2002, and he has chaired it for the past two years. He is now expected to resign from the committee.

Riendeau, 75, is married and has two sons and one grandchild. He has lived in Topsham almost his entire life and was born on Walnut Street. He and his wife have run Riendeau Auction Service for

tative to NNEPRA’s advisory group on the maintenance facility.

Nelson said she hopes the delay will prompt NNEPRA to consider putting the facility on land owned by local contrac-tor Ted Crooker in East Brunswick, a site that many Bouchard Drive neighbors preferred, but NNERPA maintained was impractical.

“I think there’s still hope that they could choose the better site of the two,” she said.

But Quinn said that in spite of the delay, the chosen site, between Church Road and Stanwood Street, is the only one under

30 years.He has served most of four terms on the

Board of Selectmen and is its chairman. He worked for the Police Department for about 20 years and from 1964 to 1978 was police chief. Before that he was in the U.S. Army from 1959-1961.

School BoardConners led the unofficial results in the

School Board election with 2,812 votes, followed by Wolkens with 1,878, and in-cumbents Scease and Cusano with 1,817 and 1,496, respectively.

This was Cusano’s first campaign for election to the board, although he twice filled vacancies created when board mem-bers did not finish their terms – most re-cently for Claudia Beckwith, who resigned in December 2010.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity (to have served),” Cusano said. “I will con-tinue to be involved, and wish everyone the best. ... I think the main thing is, that we get passionate, dedicated people in there.”

Conners, of Augusta Road, is 69, mar-

ried and has 12 children and 20 grand-children. He has lived in Topsham for 25 years.

“I look forward to serving in the com-munity,” he said. “This is my first opportu-nity to do that. I am very interested in and concerned about our schools today, and look forward to the opportunity to meet with other people and see if we can find common ground on improving things for students and for parents.”

Before he retired he taught vocational building construction at Lewiston Regional Technical Center for 21 years, and prior to that he taught at Lisbon High School and was a carpenter. Conners also taught night school at Maine Region 10 Technical High School in Brunswick, which serves students from Brunswick, SAD 75 and Freeport.

Wolkens, of Meadow Road, is 47, is married and has two children. He has lived in Topsham 11 years and works in inven-tory control at Staples in Brunswick.

Wolkens has been a Sunday school

superintendent with the East Brunswick Baptist Church for 15 years, and he is ac-tive in the Sagadahoc County Republican Committee.

Scease, of Western Avenue, is 75, has six children and nine grandchildren. Now re-tired, she was a medical social worker for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Maine, Texas and Washington for 30 years.

She moved to Topsham in 1998, has served one term on the School Board, and was on the Board of Selectmen from 2001-2007.

Scease, who was elected Sagadahoc County treasurer last fall, also serves on the Topsham Housing Authority, the Greater Brunswick Housing Corp. board and with MaineShare, a group of more than 30 Maine nonprofits that have joined to raise funds and awareness about their work.

Topsham had 49.2 percent voter turnout, according the town clerk’s office.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@


“The voters are fortunate to have two qualified candidates,” Grover said earlier on Tuesday. “The public will be well-served by whoever wins.”

Both Gorden and Grover opposed Tuesday’s Cumberland County referen-dum question, which asked whether up to $33 million should be borrowed to renovate the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland.

County voters unofficially passed

Gordenfrom page 1

the referendum, 45,877 to 31,559, with some small towns not counted.

Gorden, 69, is married and has five sons and two grandchildren. He has served as national vice president of corporate development for the American Water Works Service Co. as well as president of American Wa-ter Resource, both in New Jersey. He was also director and chief executive officer of the Detroit Water & Sewer-age Department in Michigan, director of operations for the Portland Water District, and chairman of the National

Water Utility Association.Gorden’s volunteer experience in-

cludes being a trustee of the Yarmouth Water District and serving on the Cumberland County Charter Commis-sion.

He said he wanted to prioritize county issues to serve citizens in a better way, as well as expand multi-community links among public safety services. He also wanted to boost co-ordination at quasi-municipal, state and community levels, and to encourage diminishing of what he called duplicate structural costs.

Gorden said during a candidate forum last month that he envisioned the county level of government “as an entity upon which a community may call to accomplish what it considers the common, repetitive, heavy-lifting func-tions, freeing itself and you to maintain your distinct community culture and quality of life by performing those tasks and services which are uniquely yours.”

Grover, 56, is a software engineer for the DeLorme mapping company in Yarmouth.

He served on the Gray Town Council from 2008-2011 and was a represen-tative from Gray to both the Greater Portland Council of Governments and the Central Corridors Coalition of area municipalities. He also served on the Cumberland County Budget Advisory Committee, the Gray Public Library Board of Trustees and the Gray Com-prehensive Plan Committee, and has volunteered with Gray Fire-Rescue.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Bath councilfrom page 1

BATH — Voters elected write-in candidates to the District 2 and 7 seats on the Regional School Unit 1 Board of Directors.

Whether the winners choose to serve remains to be seen.

District 2 incumbent David Barber of Bath, who did not seek re-election, re-ceived nine write-in votes. RSU 1 will approach him about whether he wishes to serve, and if he chooses not to, the candidate with the next highest number of votes will be approached.

Barber was followed by Charles Frohmiller with six votes and fellow Bath residents Judith Dillon and Megan

Fuller with five each.William Perkins, a declared write-in

candidate from Phippsburg, received 97 votes for the District 7 seat. Office-holder Betsy Varian of Phippsburg had not submitted nomination papers for the position.

Tim Harkins of Arrowsic, the only incumbent to submit papers for the District 3 seat, was elected with 968 votes – 170 votes from Bath, 123 from Arrowsic and 675 from Woolwich.

District 2 covers Bath and West Bath, 3 covers Arrowsic, Bath and Woolwich, and 7 covers Bath and Phippsburg.

— Alex Lear

home, at the dilapidated old YMCA on Summer Street, is soon to be demolished. Skatepark supporters have eyed the former National Guard Armory on Old Brunswick Road as a new home.

The City Council gave preliminary ap-proval Nov. 2 to borrowing $308,000 for a basic renovation of the Armory, but it tabled an order that would have allowed the Skatepark to move there.

Merrill said in September that she sup-ports a center that met the needs of not just skateboarders, but a wider base of youth in the community.

“I’m 100 percent in favor of helping the Skatepark access the funds and the support they need, but I don’t think the city can take on the financial burden of renovating the Armory, or paying for that with taxpayers’ money, because people are stretched so thin right now,” she said.

Merrill said she favors the Armory be-coming the Skatepark’s new home, and that if the Skatepark moves there, she would also support the city contributing some funds to the renovation.

Winglass, Sinclair and Omo were among councilors who approved borrow-ing money to renovate the Armory. Win-glass and Omo also opposed a motion to table the order allowing the Skatepark to move there, while Sinclair supported it.

Winglass, 51, of Judkins Avenue, is married and has three children. He has lived in Bath about 20 years, co-owns Mae’s Cafe on Centre Street, and is completing his third term on the council. He served two years as council chairman, and several years as vice chairman.

His service to Bath includes time on the boards of the Patten Free Library, the Main Street Bath and Bath Area Family YMCA boards, the Bath Development Corp., as well as on the Bath Zoning Board of Appeals and Bath Economic

Write-ins elected to RSU 1 board

Development, Waterfront and South End Park committees.

The City Clerk’s office reported that

40.4 percent of voters cast ballots.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or

Brunswick Councilfrom page 3

Thirty-three percent of the McKeen Street and Cook’s Corner neighborhoods would fall into an affordable housing TIF district, which would return all tax revenues to the town for education and recreation. Brown said the town could also send a portion of the revenue back to AMH to make aesthetic improvements to the housing stock. As part of the TIF, Brunswick would take over some of the roads that are currently maintained by AMH.

Doubts about demolitionThe council also previewed the details

of the agreement between MRRA and AMH.

The proposal differs from MRRA’s 2009 housing disposition and redevelop-ment plan in two key ways: it designates a higher percentage of the housing in Brunswick as “affordable,” and it demol-ishes fewer housing units.

That plan recommended that 239 units, including all of Topsham Annex and Brunswick’s Midway Terrace and 20 percent of McKeen Street, be torn down to stabilize the real estate market.

Schott has already demolished 56 units at Topsham Annex and does not intend to tear down more because the developer of The Highlands, John Wasileski, has ex-pressed interest in the remaining 73 units, according to Scott Howard, a consultant for AMH.

Howard explained in an interview that

although there will be fewer demoli-tions, more than 100 units in Brunswick, including all of Midway Terrace, are effectively off the market because they have been reserved for Supervisor of Shipbuilding workers at Bath Iron Works.

Given both factors, Howard said it no longer made sense to demolish 239 hous-ing units that are generating tax revenue for the towns and AMH.

But Councilor Benet Pols questioned the decision to let so many housing units stand, and said he is concerned about the impact on local landlords and residents trying to sell their homes.

Councilor Suzan Wilson agreed.“I’m not sure the argument is there for

demolishing fewer properties than was in the original plan,” she said.

Chairman Joanne King told Howard that the council would not endorse the plan until after discussing it in detail at the next council meeting.

Levesque said Tuesday that it is im-portant for him that both Topsham and Brunswick’s elected officials are on board with the housing disposition plan before an agreement is signed.

“We don’t want to get out in front of the town on this issue,” he said. “MRRA is very sensitive to the fact that these neighborhoods are in Brunswick and the town is ultimately comfortable with what’s going to happen with these hous-ing units.”
