Flyer gets another year, RR quiet zones advanceBy Emily Parkhurst

FALMOUTH — After a lengthy public hearing Monday night, the Town Council decided the Fal-mouth Flyer bus is here for at least another year.

The town had until Jan. 1 to let the Greater Portland Transit Dis-trict, or Metro, know if it intended to discontinue the Flyer. The council voted 5-2 to maintain the bus service, with Councilors Tony Payne and Fred Chase opposed.

Approximately 60 people turned out for two public hear-ings Monday night. The first was on whether the town should sever its relationship with Metro, which runs several bus routes between Portland and Falmouth. The sec-ond was to see if there is interest in pursuing train whistle quiet zones along the Amtrak Downeas-ter line.

The Flyer has been a frequent target. The council considered eliminating the bus service during budget discussions in March 2010; a similar proposal was brought up late last year, but scrapped before it came to a vote.

Speakers on Monday were over-whelmingly in support of the bus; only four people spoke against it. Many of those in favor were retir-ees who live at OceanView, who said the small bus the community maintains for its residents – which brought them all to the meeting –

Proponents and opponents of two experimental three-year leases of the waters off the coasts of Che-beague and Jewell islands are preparing to make their cases to the state Department of Marine Resources.

Ocean Approved LLC, which maintains a kelp farm near Little Chebeague Island, want to use the additional locations to grow several varieties of kelp to sell as food.

The project has been funded largely by a $300,000 grant the company received in September from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s

for submitting proposals to the town for the former school proper-ties on Lunt Road passed at noon Tuesday, and at least one team of developers is already campaigning to win the bid.

While bids for the property will

“We want everyone in the com-

Police said they were called to the Blackstone Apartments at 82 Depot Road Tuesday morning after Avesta Housing employees allegedly saw marijuana in Kel-ley’s apartment during a routine safety inspection.

“One of the maintenance peo-ple saw a flowering (marijuana) plant in the closet,” Officer Jeff Pardue said.

Pardue said Avesta was pre-paring to evict Kelley from the building, which primarily serves low-income elderly residents.

Firehouse Arts plans for spring opening in YarmouthBy Amy Anderson

YARMOUTH — A building that now houses antique fire equipment will soon be transformed into a nonprofit art education center where children and adults will learn about painting, writing, pottery, digital me-dia and nontraditional art.

A lease for Firehouse Arts at Winslow Station was approved by the Town Council on Nov. 17. The former fire station at 20 Center St. will be used as work space, a gallery, and have classrooms and adminis-trative offices.

Janice Cooper, Firehouse Arts spokes-woman and board member, said the concept grew from the realization that there is a lack of art education in the community. She said organizers want the center to provide a com-munity benefit.

New Procedure Offers Facelift Without Surgery

350 Cottage Road, S. Portland207-767-2146cyberderm.com

The Dermatology office of Dr.Joel Sabean in South Portlandhas just introduced a non-surgicalultrasound therapy for counteractingthe effects of time and gravity onyour skin. This procedure, calledUltherapy uses the body’s ownregenerative response to graduallyrestore memory to the skin andunderlying tissue.According to Dr. Sabean “Baby

boomers are unique in they are thefirst generation that wants to looklike they feel, and don’t want to feellike they look.”And that’s what thisnew treatment offers, the possibilityof a freshened and younger look.Butwhile surgery has always been anoption, this ultrasound therapy canprovide many of the same results,but is completely noninvasive.This treatment uses ultrasound

which has beenin use for over 50years in medicalprocedures. Itworks by applyinglow levels of heatto just the rightdepth beneaththe surface of the

skin. The natural response of theskin to this energy is to stimulatethe growth of collagen. A gradualtightening and firming occurs,which results in a natural lift ofthe skin over time. “There’s twocomponents, there’s an immediatelift for most people and then there’sa late lift that works in ninety fiveplus percent.” says Sabean.Because this treatment utilizes

ultrasound, it is the only procedurethat allows the practitioner to see

belowthesurfaceof theskin, therebyallowing them to specifically targetthe area to be treated. As withsurgery, thedeep foundational layersof the skin are treated. Because theskin is treated so precisely, fromthe inside out, the procedure is bothsafe and effective, with no downtime. Dr. Sabean comments “withthis procedure people can literallywalk out and then go to the gym.”There is slight discomfort while

the treatment is being performed,but it is quite low and dissipatesquickly. This is an indication thatthe collagen-building process hasbeen initiated. This is in fact one ofthe key benefits of this procedure.EstheticianMichelle Correia says ofher patients, “They’re very excitedfor something that they can dowithin the hour, and then it will be

their own body naturally repairingitself.”Those who are good candidates

for this procedure include peoplewhose skin has relaxed to the pointof looking and feeling less firm. Alowered brow line, sagging skin onthe eyelids, loose neck skin or theappearance of jowls are often thefirst signs of maturing skin.Ultherapy has been available in

Europe for over 4 years, and hasproven to be an inviting alternativeto surgery. It has been in the U.S.for just over a year. For MoreinformationaboutUltherapy, contactthe office of Dr. Joel Sabean:

Proposed ban on fireworks goes to Cumberland councilBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — The Town Coun-cil will hold a public hearing on a pro-posed fireworks ban at its Monday, Dec. 12, meeting.

The ordinance, developed by the council’s three-member ordinance sub-committee and presented to the council Monday, would ban the sale and use of consumer fireworks in town or on water-craft within town waters.

“The public safety chiefs and myself support the ordinance that’s before you,” Town Manager Bill Shane told the council.

A state law that takes effect Jan. 1, 2012, legalizes consumer fireworks, but allows municipalities to enact local

restrictions on use and sale.Port land, Falmouth, Freeport ,

Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, South Port-land and Cape Elizabeth have already prohibited the sale and use of fireworks, while Gray, Gorham, Scarborough and Westbrook have rejected bans. Windham and Brunswick have decisions pending.

Councilor Steve Moriarty, who served with Councilors Shirley Storey-King and George Turner on the subcommittee, noted that they were presenting the coun-cil with “not quite a recommendation, but just a draft of what represents ... the least interventionist thing that we could

do under the new law.”The subcommittee recommended a fine

of $200 for violating the ban, Moriarty said, although that, too, could be changed by the council.

Consumer fireworks tend to be smaller and less powerful than those known as commercial display fireworks, accord-ing to the Maine Municipal Association. Missile-type rockets are prohibited, along with helicopters and aerial spinners, as well as sky rockets and bottle rockets.

Turner suggested the Town Council could choose not to ban consumer fire-works, but to restrict them to July 4 and the end of the year, when use is more typical. He said his biggest concern is the noise they produce.

Storey-King said she wondered if consumer fireworks could be allowed in some areas of town, but banned in others.

“My opinion is, we should do nothing,” said Doug Pride, a licensed pyrotechni-cian from Cumberland. “Allow the state law to take effect. It’s a freedom issue, and it’s as simple as that.”

He said consumer fireworks have be-come less dangerous in recent decades, and he noted that the state does not allow people to buy display fireworks unless they are licensed users. Ordinary fire-crackers used to be dangerous, Pride said, but they pack less powder these days.

Freeport program seeks tolerance, respect in RSU 5By Amy Anderson

FREEPORT — What started as a com-munity discussion has evolved into a committee out to promote a healthy, safe culture for students in Regional School Unit 5.

Members of the Tolerance and Respect Project, a subcommittee of Freeport Community Services, are parents and grandparents, business owners and com-munity leaders, administrators, health

and education professionals, librarians and police officers. Their mission is to promote civility, compassion, kindness and understanding in the schools and throughout Freeport, Pownal and Durham.

Trace Salter, a parent and TARP mem-ber, said they hope to provide program-ming and support for students, families, teachers and school administrators.

She said she became aware of concern about negative online behavior about two

years ago when her son was in middle school.

“The behavior was classically cat-egorized as bullying,” she said. “I was astonished that there was such hateful language used by children. This is much more prevalent than I would even realize.”

Middle School Principal Ray Grogan said TARP helped to fund an assessment by Steve Wessler, founder of the now defunct Center for Prevention of Hate Violence.

He said Wessler found that the levels of aggression surrounding harassment involving gender, sexual orientation, and bullying fell within the range of what is seen at other schools.

Since then, he said, the middle school has adopted a new media health curricu-lum and School Resource Officer Michael McManus has become very active in the classroom.

McManus said he enjoys working with high school and middle school students

and said TARP is a great committee with a grassroots effort to address bullying and social issues in the community. He teaches students about substance abuse issues, school policies, penalties and laws surrounding drug offenses, online safety, bullying and being a good community member.

“Change happens when the schools, community members, parents and students work together to address problems in a positive way,” he said. “There have been amazing parents, teachers and community members involved in this program.”

Dede Bennell is a TARP member and the RSU 5 Service Learning and Aspira-tions Coordinator. She said she is pas-sionate about teaching students about anti-bullying practices and disability awareness.

She said consolidation has been difficult for many students in the school district and

Unsung Hero: Mike Linkovich, trainer for all seasonsBy David Treadwell

BRUNSWICK — Walk into Farley Field House at Bowdoin College in the middle of a weekday and you’ll spot an older man chatting with someone or, perhaps, filling the washing machines or the dryers in the trainer’s room.

Go to a Bowdoin football or hockey game over the weekend and you’ll see the same tall man, wearing a Bowdoin jacket, cheering on the Polar Bears.

If you graduated from Bowdoin College in the last 57 years – especially if you played a sport, any sport – you’ll know this man’s name: Mike Linkovich, also known as “Link” or “Big Daddy.”

Linkovich came to Bowdoin in 1954 to serve as athletic trainer, a position he held for 40 years. He stayed around after “retir-ing” in 1994 and continues to help out on a volunteer basis to keep himself active and young.

When Linkovich was born in the hills

RogeR S. Duncan / FoR The FoRecaSTeRMike Linkovich, 89, was one of two athletic trainers at Bowdoin College in Brunswick until 1994,

DOE rules threaten plan for Portland-area charter schoolBy Emily Parkhurst

AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Education is proposing restrictions on when students will be able to sign up to attend one of several charter schools now being developed under a new state law.

A science and math charter school called Baxter Academy has been proposed for the greater Portland area.

As part of the new law, a DOE commit-tee was charged with coming up with rules for the 10 non-district charter schools that

will be allowed under the law. School dis-tricts can also start charter schools within their district that do not count toward the 10-school statewide limit.

As written, the DOE’s rules would require students interested in attending a charter school to submit a written dec-laration of interest to the school between Jan. 1 and the third Tuesday in January. Then, the student must commit to enroll-ing by Feb. 15.

“A three-week window is unworkable,” Baxter Academy Director John Jaques

said. “It needs to be changed.”Last week, Jaques testified before a

legislative committee tasked with review-ing and approving the proposed rules.

He said the three-week window for en-rollment would severely limit the number of students the school would be able to enroll, threatening its ability to attract interest from area families.

“Most states (that allow charter schools) do not have an enrollment win-dow at all. Public schools don’t have an enrollment window,” he said.

But the DOE is requiring the strict win-dow in an effort to help public schools prepare their budgets. Charter schools will be funded by state money that will

follow students from the public school they formerly attended to the charter school where they are enrolled.

Even if the charter schools were able to get enough students to enroll during that window, the Legislature has not yet ap-pointed the Charter School Commission and won’t be able to until it reconvenes in January. All charter schools have to be approved by the commission.

Baxter Academy had hoped to open in the fall of 2012, but if these rules are approved, that seems unlikely.

The Maine School Management Asso-ciation, a nonprofit organization that lob-bies for the interests of school districts, also testified at the Nov. 22 hearing, call-ing the rules “written to promote charter schools rather than regulate them.”

The proposed rules are before a legisla-tive committee that will ultimately send them to the full Legislature for approval. The DOE will accept written comments on the rules until Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.

Freeport council reviews legal rules, proceduresBy Amy Anderson

FREEPORT — Town councilors got a lesson on legal issues Tuesday.

They reviewed Town Council rules and procedures – including conflict of interest guidelines, public comment practices and budget reporting – with town attorney Rob Crawford of Bernstein Shur, and spent a considerable amount of time discussing an email policy that was adopted last January.

The policy advises councilors to use a town email account for all town business to “protect the individual Town Councilor from having his or her personal computer subject to public inspection under the Free-dom of Access Act.”

Chairman Jim Cassida said the policy creates a place for all town correspondence and documents to be stored, so in the event of a Freedom of Access request, the infor-mation is easily accessible. The email is also stored on a town server, he said.

While Crawford said the email pro-tocol “makes a tremendous amount of sense,” he reminded the councilors that all town-related electronic correspondence – whether from a phone, work computer or personal computer – is considered a public document and is subject to search under a Freedom of Access request.

“I think it’s a great policy to use (town

email), have it archived by the town and have it backed up by the town because then it can be controlled and managed ...,” he said, especially in the event of frequent requests. “This is one way of making it a little bit easier and more efficient to address (frequent requests) because you get good at responding to the Freedom of Access requests.”

Cassida also said he would like to re-view and implement a Freedom of Access policy for the town. He drafted a policy about a year ago, he said, but it was never formally adopted.

In other business the council agreed to be more consistent with the three-minute public comment period at the beginning of each council meeting, unless the council grants an extension.

They also discussed what constitutes a conflict of interest.

Councilor Sara Gideon, who is a di-rector of Freeport Community Services, noted that most councilors also serve on volunteer and nonprofit boards, making it difficult to step down each time an issue comes before the council.

Crawford said as long as the councilor discloses involvement with an organiza-tion or their relationship to an issue, the remaining councilors can take a vote or

reach consensus on whether that connec-tion will impact a decision.

“One of the undercurrents of these stan-dards is recognizing there has to be some balance, or else you are never going to be able to find anybody who is absolutely pure in all ways from conducting public affairs,” Crawford said.

The council also reviewed the budget format as required by the Town Charter and determined that while the current bud-get reporting system is accurate, they will take the necessary steps to report budget figures that comply with the charter.

The Town Charter requires an overview of the budget, a report of all estimated

income, and figures to compare actual and estimated income and expenditures of the current fiscal year and the previous fiscal year.

Town Manager Dale Olmstead Jr. said the budget information is available as required by the charter and the figures are recorded as they should be, but by time the budget is delivered to council, all of those numbers have changed.

The council will hold a financial work-shop on Tuesday, Dec. 6, from 5-7 p.m. in council chambers. A council meeting will follow at 7 p.m.

A lawyer, a comic and a comedy writer walk into the past...Rationally, I never had a chance as a stand-up. It’s simple

common sense. If you hate be-ing recognized or touched or complimented, and I did, you probably shouldn’t be trying to get famous.

Fortunately, I thought my love for the art would trump all that, paving the way for 10 years that I wouldn’t trade for anything and led to televi-sion writing, where I got to be funny without spending every night in a bar. Maybe that’s why we don’t get smart until we’re older: so we can make wonderful mistakes like that.

I thought I made my peace with my journey years ago.

Maine fails the business investment multiple-choice test

Imagine that you are about to make a major purchase.You’re considering several

different brands. Sales teams from the manufacturers have called on you. They’ve left you with literature describing their products and their companies. Each has tried to convince you that investing in its product will be a good use of your money.

Which of the following sales pitches moves you?

A – Our products and the people who make them are second to none.

B – Our management knows how to do things right.

C – We waste a lot of money and we’ve been doing so for years.

D – We operate in a toxic business environment.You might find the first two pitches to be a bit self-serv-

ing and so you’d probably take them with a grain of salt. The second two, however, would surely get your attention, and not in a good way.

Chances are you’d be disinclined to spend your money on a company that can’t get or won’t get its act together, or that reflects a certain negativity and a “can’t do” attitude.

Now imagine that you are the owner of a company that is considering where to expand its business or build a new factory. You’re weighing locations in the United States, including Maine, and even some in Canada. You’ve been reviewing literature and data provided by the many loca-tions keen to have you. You’ve hired consultants to help you with the choice. You’ve visited many sites.

Your consultants inform you now that several governors are anxious to speak with you to assure you that you’ll love doing business in their states.

It’s crunch time. You’ve narrowed your choices down to just a few, and it’s now at the point where subjective impressions and overall “feel” may tip the scales.

In a final effort to get a better fix on the places you’re considering, you review news articles and other media re-garding the various places in which you might invest. You try to look beyond the glossy brochures and slick DVDs, and you do a bit of research on the business environment.

You start with Maine. You’ve met many nice people here, you’ve vacationed here. You know that a number of major companies operate here, and that the lifestyle is agreeable. You are taking Maine seriously.

In the course of your review and in particular your con-sideration of news and comments coming from Augusta, however, you begin to wonder just what it would be like to do business in the state. You’re aware that the governor is controversial and plain-spoken, but you are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, chalk his remarks up to the glare of the spotlight and so on.

Surprisingly, it’s the comments on the business environ-ment that give you pause.

Your colleague hands you an op-ed piece written by a Maine state legislator that describes Maine’s business en-vironment as “toxic.” That doesn’t sound very promising.

Then you see that the state is conducting “red tape au-dits” designed to expose and eliminate government waste. It’s good to try and fix those things, but it seems they’re not fixed yet.

Now you’re reading that there are good workers in Maine, but most are not adequately trained for the jobs that are available. When exactly will there be enough people with the right skills, and how does that affect your business?

All in all, you begin to see the outlines of a state in which the pieces don’t fit together. The brochures and the DVDs tell one story, but the words coming from state leaders say something entirely different.

So you turn back to those brochures and DVDs, and you begin to wonder, just what is Maine’s sales pitch?

A – Our products and the people who make them are second to none.

B – Our management knows how to do things right.C – We waste a lot of money and we’ve been doing so

for years.D – We operate in a toxic business environment.It may be that saying C and D out loud are the first steps

towards being able to say A and B with confidence.In the meantime, however, you have to wonder whether

it wouldn’t be better to invest in a place that has pride in itself and its business environment, even as it works to make things better.

So, who’s next on the list?Perry B. Newman is a South Portland resident and

president of Atlantica Group, an international business consulting firm based in Portland, with clients in North America, Israel and Europe. He is also chairman of the Maine District Export Council.

Then last week several videos resurfaced. Max, an old stand-up buddy from New York, posted a compilation of himself at about the same time a very nice person uploaded footage of me performing in a show I didn’t even remember doing. My nephew saw this and was moved to dust off a couple of ancient television appearances. They should be a pleasant nostalgic experience, happy memories of simpler times.

Instead, I haven’t been able to sit through any of them.The problem with watching my friend’s reel was envy.

He hit more of the career benchmarks than I did, including stand-up’s Holy Grail: “panel” on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” It was a big deal to get a Carson shot, as we hiply called it. It was a huge deal if Johnny let you sit down.

We started at around the same time. We both had enough talent, and we both worked hard, but Max worked smart. He saw comedy for the business that it is, so he embraced his type (New Yorker, heavy) and made the most of it. He was good at making people want to help him, and when people helped him, he did the job.

My plan, if you can call it that, was to become so good that stardom would find me. In one of the seedy bars in Jersey where I worked most nights, where the owners turned the disco ball on halfway through your set to remind people there was dancing afterwards. Turns out fewer major motion pictures get cast in the Lake Hopatcong Laff Haus than you’d think.

This odd sense of entitlement led to a tendency to shoot myself in the foot when opportunity did present itself. One night at the Improv, a friend introduced me to her compan-

ion. Let’s call him “William.” My friend was auditioning for a TV show that night. I was not. William asked me why. I said that while my friend was very funny and deserved any audition (I was nothing if not gracious), other newer, more talented comics, like myself, couldn’t get audition spots because the clubs rewarded the comics who had been there longer. William said, “I don’t know. When a comic is ready, he’ll get his chances. These shows are pretty anxious to find new faces.”

They clearly weren’t too anxious to find mine, which could only mean one thing: William knew nothing about show business. The rest of the conversation went something like this:

Me: So, are you a stand-up, William?William: No.Me: Have you ever done any stand-up?William: No. No, I haven’t.Me: Oh. Well, no sense cluttering up your opinions with

information, then, is there?William smiled a world-weary smile, at which point my

friend steered me to the other end of the bar and informed me that William booked the hottest talk show on television. I doubt if Max ever smack-talked himself out of an audi-tion like that. Maybe envy isn’t keeping me from watching his video, or my own performances. It could be plain old embarrassment.

My aversion to my own performances could also be

Save Falmouth’s water viewsFalmouth is an unique place to live since it has both a

coastal community and a lakefront community on High-land Lake. Residents and visitors are drawn to these areas because they have something in common: they enjoy the water and their beautiful views. You should take notice because the Falmouth Town Council is considering the repeal of a town ordinance that states “the proposed use will not have a significant adverse impact on water

views from adjacent and nearby properties and public right of way.” This ordinance has been in force for a short five years and

suddenly the Town Council is considering the repeal of this ordinance.

What message is the Town Council sending to home-owners with water views? Our opinion is they don’t seem to care if you lose your water view when a “McMansion” is built that blocks your water view. The town puts a high value on these homes with water views, which is reflected in their property taxes. If you want to save your water views, please contact the Town Council and voice your concern before it is too late and the water views that you have enjoyed for a generation or more are gone.

Occupy the Republican PartyThe stunning failure of the congressional super-

committee to agree upon how to reduce the federal deficit by $1.2 trillion was entirely a function of the unwillingness of Republicans to compromise.

Democrats tried to protect social programs serv-ing the poor, the disabled, the elderly and working people, but they were reluctantly willing to reduce entitlement spending to get a deal. Republicans, on the other hand, were only interested in protect-ing tax breaks for wealthy individuals and corpora-tions (which to Republi-cans are one in the same). And so the lines are drawn: rich Republicans against the rest of us.

In the Nov. 9 issue of Rolling Stone, Tim Dick-inson explains in telling detail “How the GOP Became the Party of the Rich.” I highly recommend Dickinson’s trenchant analysis, which has moderate Republicans exco-riating the extremists who have taken over their party. But the short version of “how” is that since the Republican revolution of 1994 (Remember the old Newt? Same as the new Newt) U.S. tax policy has created a growing income gap by transferring wealth to the wealthy via reduced inheritance, capi-tal gains, and corporate taxes.

As Dickinson points out, “almost without excep-tion, every proposal put forth by GOP lawmakers and presidential candidates is intended to preserve or expand tax privileges for the wealthiest Ameri-cas.”

At the dark heart of Dickinson’s analysis is Gro-ver Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, a man Ronald Reagan’s budget director David Stock-man calls a “fiscal terrorist.” It was Norquist who coerced Republican candidates into taking “no new taxes” pledges, which in turn is why America now cannot pay its bills.

Don’t be fooled by conservative cant. Taxes in this country are at historic lows. Even St. Ronald raised taxes 11 times in eight years. It’s called

fiscal responsibility. Republicans used to be about balanced budgets. Now they’re about stiffing work-ing stiffs and fattening fat cats.

This disconnect – the rich get richer at everyone else’s expense – is why the Occupy Wall Street movement has erected tent cities all over the coun-try and the world. I know, I know, you’re as frus-trated as I am that the occupiers don’t seem to have a clear agenda, achievable goals such as the end of war or segregation. But this marvelously decentral-ized, democratic movement does embrace the core value of economic justice. (Want to make a con-servative scoff? Use the phrase “economic justice.” No such thing as far as these grumpy Grovers are concerned. There’s “my money” and nothing but “my money.”)

But factions of the OWS movement have articu-lated policy actions that are achievable and desir-able. The protesters at Freedom Plaza in Wash-ington, D.C., have prepared “The 99%’s Deficit Proposal,” a fair tax system that would start to restore a measure of social justice to America’s tax policy.

Their tax system would start with taxing the wealthiest Americans at a higher rate, a proposal that the majority of Americans and even socially conscious millionaires support. It also proposes taxing capital gains the same as earned income. No one has ever been able to explain to me why invest-ment income (money investors did not work for or “earn”) is taxed at a lower rate than earned income. It should be the other way around.

The Occupy tax policy further proposes a small Speculation Tax on the purchase of stocks and bonds, taxing all profits of U.S. corporations whether generated in this country or abroad, and the total elimination of off-shore tax havens. Tax havens cost the U.S. as much as $100 billion a year. You can read the entire proposal on the Oc-cupy Washington, D.C., website, october2011.org.

Bottom line: the Republican Party was not always as virulently anti-social as the cast of 2012 presidential candidates would suggest. The GOP needs to purge itself of the Grover Norquist tea party types, or America needs to purge itself of the Republican Party.

like how people hate hearing their recorded voices. Or it could be the 1980’s clothes. I did stand-up from the Skinny Leather Tie/Members Only Jacket Era through the height of the Bill Cosby Designer Sweater Fiasco, and the farthest I got into any of my videos was one introduction. I saw a very thin version of myself wearing horizontal stripes that at my current weight would make me look like a Rothko tapestry. I couldn’t turn it off fast enough.

People tell me the clothes in the other videos made similarly bold statements. Apparently, in one of them I say something like, “I know what you’re thinking: ‘Who puked on his sweater?’”

If the clothes are too upsetting to watch, I can only imagine what unresolved feelings I still have about the per-formances themselves. Like I said, right now I remember that time very fondly. I learned life lessons that have been invaluable. It may be better not to see how far short of your memories of yourself you fell.

This is a difference between performing and most other careers. Insurance salesmen don’t have to watch that time they totally screwed up the difference between term and single premium and feel their shoes fill up with flop sweat all over again. Or worse, have a loved one watch old video of them and say things like, “That’s funny. I remember you being more alive back then.”

Laurice Ervin Morrill, 91: Greeted strangers as friendsCUMBERLAND — Laurice Ervin

Morrill, 91, of Freeport, died Nov. 21 at Ledgeview Assisted Living in Cumberland after a lengthy illness.

He was born on Dec. 28, 1919 in Mason a son of Myron and Viola Morrill. As a child, he attended the one-room elemen-tary school in Mason and later graduated from Gould Academy on May 31, 1939. He held jobs at Westbrook Junior College and the South Portland Shipyard before enlisting in the Marines in 1942.

During World War II he served in the Pacific at New Caledonia. While home on leave in 1944 he married Theo Paine. Because gas was rationed at the time, his family carpooled to transport guests from Bethel to Waterford. After their wedding, Morrill returned to finish his tour while his wife remained in Freeport and just before he returned home in 1945, their first daughter, Wanda, was born.

Morrill worked at the Freeport Shoe Co. until starting his carpentry career, working for a few local carpenters and later starting his own business. He worked as a carpen-ter until his retirement in 1985.

His favorite activities included doing fun things with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, visiting friends and neighbors, and traveling with family members and friends. He loved to talk to anyone he met along his travels. He and his wife were very active in square dancing, serving as angels for square dance lessons, sponsoring square dances for elementary students, and starting a teen square dance club which taught many Freeport and sur-rounding area teens to square dance.

The activity that he enjoyed most was gardening, growing both vegetables and lots of flowers. Many area residents en-joyed the bounty from his garden as he shared his cucumbers, tomatoes and other crops.

His wife died on Sept. 3, 1994, just short of their 50th wedding anniversary. He was also predeceased by his parents Myron and Viola Morrill; brothers Dwight

Morrill, Robert Morrill, and Donald Mor-rill.

He is survived by his daughters Wanda (Lloyd) Walkup of Clovis, N.M. and Bren-da-Jo (Arthur) Hawkes of Falmouth; three grandchildren Laurie (Joseph) Andrews of Durham, Tony (Karen) Walkup of Clovis, N.M., and William Hawkes of Falmouth; five great-grandchildren Tyler and Kayla Andrews, Ayden Walkup, Zachary Jordan Walkup, Whitney Hanson-Walkup; and his sister Frances Clark of Cape Neddick.

The family wishes to thank David and Karen Lander and the staff of Ledgeview Assisted Living for over five years of friendship and care.

A time of gathering and visitation was held on Nov. 22 at Lindquist Funeral Home, One Mayberry Lane, Yarmouth followed by a graveside service at Burr Cemetery in Freeport. Donations may be made in Morrill’s memory to the Cape Elizabeth Church of the Nazarene, Parson-age Roof Building Fund, 6 Susan Road, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107.

Thomas Joyce Jr., 75THE VILLAGES, Fla. — Thomas

Joseph Joyce Jr., 75, died Nov. 21, in Florida.

Born in Portland, he was a long time resident of Cumberland. He moved to

Florida in 2000.Joyce graduated from Cheverus High

School and later, from Gorham State Teacher’s College. He was the prin-cipal of Greely Ju-nior High School in Cumberland for more than 30 years.

An avid sports fan, Joyce was particu-larly devoted to Notre Dame football. He attended Sacred Heart Church in Yarmouth and most recently was a member of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in The Villages, Fla.

Joyce was predeceased by his first wife Susan Story Joyce.

He is survived by his wife Sharon; daughters Patricia Bruce and her husband John of Boston, Mass., Mary Satake and her husband Eiki of Brunswick, and An-nmarie Joyce of Portland; step daughters Helen Martin of Howell, Mich., and Ruth Haefner of Lavonia, Mich.; stepsons Gerald Hovis Jr. of Silver Springs, Md., and Richard Hovis of Antigo, Wis.; sister Rosemary Gordon of Kennebunk; grand-daughter Erika Joyce of Portland; grand-sons Wilder Burns and Milo Burns of Brunswick; and seven step grandchildren.

who played for the Rangers lone state championship team in 1996 and graduated the following year, will replace Casey Ab-bott. Storey also played at New England College, assistant at NEC and was the Greely Middle School coach for three seasons.

“It was my lifelong dream to coach in my hometown,” said Storey. “I’d like to spread my knowledge and philosophy to the kids. Lacrosse is a complex game

and it’s valuable for life skills. It takes hard work, dedication and teamwork. Sports are a good tool to teach life skills. I want to rebuild the program from the third grade right up through. I think there needs to be continuity.”

“It’s a big plus that (Michael) played here and that he played and coached in college,” said Greely athletic director Da-vid Shapiro. “He has connections to the community. He’s a great fit.”

Greely graduate supports orphans in Bolivia

CUMBERLAND — A Village of Children, a new non-profit started by 2006 Greely graduate Aaron S. Gilbert, is turning American dollars into first-world solutions for over 400 Bolivian orphans.

The company works with pre-teen mothers, orphans of all ages, and at-risk adolescents, who are independent but feel hopeless. A Village of Children is try-ing to make changes using money from American supporters and an international team of volunteers.

Gilbert collects online donations at avillageofchildren.com and uses the money to build projects that benefit over 400 orphans. This year they have built a recreational facility for health and fitness classes, started teaching child-mothers about nutrition, and started a program to encourage character development in otherwise socially lost adolescents.

Long-term, Gilbert hopes to turn these programs into self-sustained and locally staffed long-term programs, but they first need to hire more local teachers. While the majority of the financial support for group comes from the U.S., work on the ground is carried out by an international team of volunteers living in Bolivia.

Out & About


‘Nutcracker’ bigger, better than everBy Scott Andrews

With Turkey Day behind us, the Christmas season is in full swing. And southern Maine’s arts and entertainment producers are out in full force for the next few weeks.

This weekend’s biggest Christmas show is Maine State Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker.” I was thrilled when I saw it last weekend, and urge anyone who hasn’t at-tended recently to get out to Portland’s Merrill Auditorium for the final four performances.

The Choral Art Society’s “Christmas at the Cathedral,” one of my personal favorite events of the season, is slated for four performances in Portland this Saturday and Sun-day.

The annual production of Broadway at Good Theater, which typically features about 50 percent Christmas mate-rial, runs Dec. 1-4 in Portland.

Among non-Christmas offerings, Big Band Syndrome is a new locally produced event that features mostly original material by southern Maine musicians. BBS debuts Dec. 2 at Portland’s State Theatre.

‘The Nutcracker’Bigger than ever. That’s the mantra for the Maine State

Ballet’s 35th annual production of “The Nutcracker.” I re-visited this show this past weekend after not attending for a few years, and I was thrilled with the experience. With a huge cast, live orchestra and elegant costumes, this is a big, big colorful event. If you haven’t seen MSB’s “Nutcracker” recently, I urge you to get out this weekend for the last four performances.

Artistic director for this (and the past 34) productions is MSB co-founder Linda MacArthur Miele, a former dancer with New York City Ballet under the direction of the leg-endary George Balanchine. She has licensed Balanchine’s copyrighted choreography for two of the scenes from the first act.

Dancers are drawn from MSB’s teaching staff and stu-dents. They range from pre-schoolers to fully professional adult dancers. The total number is 292, but because of ro-tating casts, not all appear on stage together. The 35-piece professional orchestra performs under the direction of Karla Kelley, while the dazzling costuming was created by MSM co-director Gail Csoboth.

Maine State Ballet presents “The Nutcracker” at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall Dec. 2 at 7 p.m., Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Christmas at the CathedralEmotionally drained by the shopping madness of Black

Friday? Then recover your Christmas spirit this weekend with something diametrically opposite, when the majesty of Portland’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception pro-vides a perfectly relaxed and spiritually uplifting venue for the Choral Art Society’s annual musical celebration of the season. Entering its 24th edition, Christmas at the Cathedral has become a personal favorite of mine.

The Society’s 60 voices perform a wide variety of holiday and seasonal pieces, accompanied by trumpets and brass from the Portland Brass Quintet and the organ, played by Dan Moore. The voices and instrumentalists fill the beautiful church all the way up to its magnificent vaulted ceiling.

Audiences will hear traditional holiday songs such as “The First Noel” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful” among several other more rarely performed holiday pieces, some dating to the Middle Ages and Renaissance. A truly mov-ing concert highlight is the candlelit procession and per-formance of “Silent Night,” which concludes the evening.

There are four performances at the Cathedral of the Im-maculate Conception, 307 Congress St. in Portland: Dec. 3 at noon and 8 p.m., and Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Call CAS at 828-0043.

Broadway at Good TheaterAnother excellent annual event for the Christmas season

is Broadway at Good Theater, which features local singers and a genuine star of American musical theater. The big names from New York perform with this small professional theater company thanks to the myriad Broadway connec-tions of artistic director and co-founder Brian P. Allen.

The Broadway luminary for 2011 is Kevin Earley,

Christmas Tree Forest to the Palace of Sweets in Maine State Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker,” which runs through this

weekend in Portland.

who has played starring roles in “Les Miserables” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” He’ll be joined by 17 sing-ers from southern Maine, most of them longtime Good Theater performers, plus a three-piece band under the direction of Victoria Stubbs.

This year marks the professional company’s 10th anni-versary, and Allen’s program pays tribute to prior produc-tions, with show tunes from such musicals as “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “Spitfire Grill,” “Ruthless” and “Baby.” Seasonal and Christmas tunes were penned by top Broadway and Hollywood composers and lyricists of the mid-20th century.

“This is our biggest set of concerts yet,” Allen said. “I wanted to pull out all the stops for our 10th anniversary

and I think we’ve done it. The cast of 18 is amazing, and to have this music performed live without microphones in the beautiful St. Lawrence space makes this my favorite event of the year.”

Catch Broadway at Good Theater at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress St. (top of Munjoy Hill) in Port-land for five performances: Dec. 1 at 7 p.m., Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 3 at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. Call Good Theater at 885-5883.

Big Band SyndromeA new musical event debuts this Friday in Portland, and

it has nothing to do with Christmas. Big Band Syndrome, a production of the Fogcutters, transforms and transports contemporary music written by Maine singer-songwriters and local bands backwards in time into the format of the Big Band era of the mid-20th century.

The local musicians are Jacob Augustine, Dave Gutter (of Rustic Overtones/Paranoid Social Club), Spose, Darien Brahms, Zach Jones, Dominic Lavoie (of The Lucid), the Mallett Brothers, Lyle Divinsky and Sly-Chi.

The Fogcutters are a 21-piece big band with a fresh approach to a traditional style of music that incorporates modern sounds and a melting pot of musical styles. The band plays standard big band repertoire but isn’t afraid to cross into uncharted territories.

Two songs each from the local writers will be trans-formed into Big Band style, according to Brian Graham of the Fogcutters. “Most of the show will be original ar-rangements,” Graham said. “We will of course pay homage to the great bands that pioneered Big Band music, but the majority of the night will be original arrangements done by Maine musicians. One of the things that makes this show special is the fact that it’s 100 percent local. Everything you see and hear is produced by a local artist/musician.”

Catch this unique act at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 at the State The-atre, 609 Congress St. in Portland. Call 956-6000.

He said the Police Department ob-tained a warrant to search the rest of the apartment. Officers seized the marijuana, plus lights and other growing equipment.

Kelley was the only resident of the apartment, Pardue said, and no cash or weapons were found.

He said Kelley is not registered as a licensed marijuana grower with the state

and had not suggested to police that she was growing the marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Police said they have not received com-plaints about excessive traffic to and from the apartment building, or any other in-dications there was a marijuana-growing operation in the building.

Pardue also said there was no evidence Kelley was selling the marijuana from her apartment, and they did not find a client list or bookkeeping ledger.

Firehouse Artsfrom page 2

The organization will be distinctly part of Yarmouth, Cooper said.

“It just fits so perfectly with where Yarmouth is and is going,” she said. “It’s not Freeport, it’s never going to be a retail center. It’s not Portland, it’s never going to have the late-night (activities) that goes on there. But it is a place people go because they like the style of living here and they like the way the village looks.”

Artists Leslie Hamren and Kat Gillies are working on the Firehouse Arts program-ming, collecting names of instructors and interested artists and potential class ideas.

“We’ve had so much interest in non-traditional art,” Hamren said, including fabric printing, writing workshops and film studies. “We want to appeal to the young, old, rich, poor ... make it a real community house and let it be dictated by what people

are interested in.”Cooper said construction will begin as

soon as they have approvals from the state fire marshal and town code enforcement officer.

Potter Jason Kendeigh, a board member and Yarmouth resident, said the construc-tion will be completed in phases. Phase 1 will include improvements to the down-

stairs, where immediate needs are minimal and include installing a work sink, shelving and counter tops, upgrading the lights, and building an accessible bathroom.

The second phase will include second-floor improvements, a second egress, and creating the classroom, meeting and office spaces. In conjunction with the second phase, Kendeigh said plans for green space

in front of the building will be considered.Some of the construction can begin as

soon as January, he said, and Cooper said she hopes classes can start by next spring.

“It’s been so exciting,” she said. “There has been enormous community support and I think it will be wildly successful.”

Pride noted that fireworks can cause fires and must be used with common sense. He pointed out that the new state law will require fireworks sellers to pass out safety sheets.

“Certainly, in a congested area you’ve got to use some common sense and be reasonable about it,” he said. “I live up on Crystal Lane; I’m not going to light any firecrackers in my backyard, because (there

Fireworksfrom page 3

are) neighbors all around. But there’s plenty of areas in the town where it wouldn’t be a bother to anybody.”

Councilor Ron Copp noted that with people unable to buy legal fireworks, some may resort to making their own.

“I think, let the state control it,” Copp said. “Because if (people) can go buy fire-crackers, they might not try to make their own and blow their fingers off.”

Councilor Tom Gruber, who suggested a permitting process, said his concern is fires.

“I can’t get around that issue,” he said.

“... I agree, you can give someone a piece of paper, and you can give them instruc-tions; they’ll probably use that to light the fireworks. I don’t see that being enough without some type of control.”

Pride said he has seen “very, very few fires,” and that “it is an issue, but it’s prob-ably a little bit overrated.”

He suggested that fireworks could be banned in drier conditions, if they were al-lowed in general.

has witnessed how online problems can often turn physical. She said mentoring programs like Seeds of Independence and Boys to Men are positive ways to reach out to students. Workshops, panels and group discussions are helpful too, she said.

“We are looking for ways to impact as many students in the RSU 5 community as possible and bring all three communi-ties together,” Bennell said. “And even more than that, we are working to reduce sexism and violence while trying to make our schools a tolerant and respectful place.”

Salter said there is a need to address these issues in all schools in the RSU 5 district and in all three communities.

“TARP is not just about preventing bullying. It is about promoting compas-sion, respect and civility and cultivating an appreciation for differences, therefore creating a safer environment for (stu-dents) to flourish as they are developing into adults,” Salter said.

The next TARP meeting will be Thurs-day, Dec.1, at 4 p.m. at the Freeport Community Library. The meeting is open to the public.

said they expect to spend $13 million to build a small deli and farmers market; convert the Plummer building to an office building; provide the town the option of using the Motz building as a community center; create a town green that could later be deeded back to the town, and build an apartment building, townhouses and single-family homes.

As part of the proposal, the Friends School of Portland, a Quaker school, would purchase the Lunt School building and use it as is, while maintaining public access to the woods and trails behind the school. Friends School currently rents space on Mackworth Island.

There are no plans for a library.The proposal comes after voters in June

narrowly rejected a $5 million proposal to move Falmouth Memorial Library to Lunt School, turn Motz into a community center and renovate Plummer, depending on tenant interest. Property behind the schools would have been sold.

A trail system and federally protected land behind the Lunt School could still cause problems for the town, because it must offset sale of that property with the purchase of public land elsewhere. This is-sue is yet to be resolved, but Harris said he is confident the town could overcome that before any deal is finalized.

Harris said he sees the market and deli as an anchor that would draw tenants to the other commercial sites, comparing his vision for the building to Yarmouth’s Rose-mont Market or the Bow Street Market in Freeport.

He said Plummer could have retail space on the first floor and medical offices on the second floor. He said he has experience updating old buildings and is consider-ing applying for Historic Preservation tax credits, but that the proposal is not reliant on the credits.

Both Culley and Harris live in Falmouth. Culley grew up in town and attended Plum-mer-Motz and Lunt schools. His company, Redfern Properties, built one of the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum-level homes in Maine, and is currently working on a seven-unit condo-minium building on York Street in Portland.

Harris moved from New York City eight years ago after working for J.P Morgan as an investment banker. He started North At-lantic Properties in 2003, and owns several properties in Portland: the Flyte New Media and Hartford Insurance building on Com-mercial Street, the Rivalries and Zapoteca building on Fore Street and an industrial building in East Bayside.

The pair has brought on Phil Kaplan, who lives across the street from the Falmouth school buildings, as their lead architect.

Civil engineer Tom Greer, whose com-pany, Pinkham & Greer, has done work for the town in the past; architects Soren DeNiord and Tom Lee of dL Studio, and green building consultant Gunnar Hubbard of Fore Solutions make up the rest of the project team.

The proposal would be entirely funded by private capital. It does not make use of the town’s offer to consider tax increment financing.

“These people on the council who prefer OceanView, it’s because it’s private money they’d be using,” Harris said. “We’ve pro-posed the same sort of thing.”

Culley said their proposal would provide a place for everyone in Falmouth to enjoy.

“We have a lot of respect for OceanView, but we feel strongly this is a better deal for Falmouth,” he said.

OceanView project manager Chris Wasileski said his company is submitting several different proposals, but he would

Royal River trust selects Stearns

YARMOUTH — Alan B. Stearns of Hallowell was selected from among 26 ap-plicants to become executive director of the Royal River Conservation Trust.

Stearns was deputy director of the state Bureau of Parks and Lands from 2007 un-til this year, and previously worked in the governor’s office and the state Department of Transportation. He also has experience in conservation land acquisitions, forest and recreational planning and easement stewardship.

RRCT is a regional land trust that holds conservation land and easements in a half a dozen towns in the Royal River watershed, extending from Yarmouth to Auburn.

Stearns succeeds Henry G. Nichols, who served as executive director for nine years.

Flag Ladies to host candlelight event Sunday

FREEPORT — The Freeport Flag Ladies will host a candlelight vigil on Sunday, Dec. 4, to honor Wreaths Across America and the effort to deliver thousands of Christmas wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

The convoy will arrive in Freeport at 4 p.m. on Sunday and the Flag Ladies will greet them in front of the Fire Department on Main Street. Wreaths will be placed on the Sept. 11 monument.

Participants are invited to bring a candle and to arrive by 3:30 p.m.

not reveal any details “out of respect for the (town’s) process.”

Culley and Harris said they are confi-dent the seven single-family homes they propose, at around the median Falmouth home price of approximately $400,000, and the 12 townhouses, which would be more affordable, will sell. They would retain ownership of the 10 rental apartments.

There would also be an additional com-mercial building near the market, which could house a variety of tenants.

Culley and Harris declined to say how much they or the Friends School have of-fered the town for the properties, because the council has made it clear it wants that information kept secret for now.

“We want to have a dialog with the pub-lic,” Culley said. “We think there should be a conversation about this.”

Because the bids are sealed until the council makes a decision, no other bid-ders could be reached for comment. Town Manager Nathan Poore refused to say how many bids the town received for the proper-ties, citing his need to “protect the town’s bargaining power.”

does not provide the same service as the Falmouth Flyer.

“Our bus is not available for us to go downtown whenever we’d like to do it,” Connie Dayton said. “It does not take us to doctor’s appointments. Well, it does do that, but it’s extremely expensive. (Without the Flyer) people like us, who don’t have a bus, will be trapped.”

OceanView bus driver Jim Donnelly con-firmed that the bus is not used for routine trips, but only for special events planned at least several weeks in advance.

While several OceanView residents discussed the fear of losing their indepen-dence, Recycling and Energy Advisory Committee Co-Chairman Jed Wright said his two children have gained independence using the Flyer.

“This is something we invest in for our community,” Wright said. “I don’t own a boat, but I value our harbor, our harbor master. I see that as a valuable part of our community.”

Others compared the bus cost to the tax dollars used to fund public education, even though not everyone in town utilizes the schools.

Portland City Councilor Ed Suslovic also spoke at the hearing, praising Falmouth’s two Metro board members, Town Manager Nathan Poore and Councilor Bonny Rod-den, who is Metro’s vice president, for their contribution to cost-saving measures for the bus system.

“I have watched the town of Falmouth wanting to become more sustainable. In my view, public transportation is a critical element of that,” Suslovic said.

A representative from Goodwill Indus-tries spoke in favor of the service, citing the need to transport employees and clients to and from the Falmouth store.

Westbrook Town Councilor and Greater Portland Transit District President Michael Foley also praised the Falmouth Flyer as “such a true success story that we have other communities, like Gorham, consider-ing adding the bus service.”

But not everyone was in favor of continu-ing the service.

“We’ve heard a lot of compelling stories about the usage of the bus, but we haven’t seen numbers about how many Falmouth residents use the bus,” Ledgewood Drive resident Rick Proctor said.

Metro provided the town with a 10-month ridership survey for the Flyer, which showed approximately 65,000 rides so far this year. However, the numbers were not broken down to show how many were Falmouth residents.

Resident John Winslow said he would like to see the town reduce the number of trips the bus makes, and compromise by reducing the amount the town pays for the bus, but still maintain the service.

Although the council voted to stay in the Metro district, the debate is likely to come up again. Although some speakers asked the council to approve a five-year agreement it was clear that was not something that was going to happen.

“It’s a welcome dialog to have,” Coun-cilor Chris Orestis said. “I will continue to be a supporter of the bus, but I welcome this dialog. It shows Falmouth in a very good light.”

Quiet zonesThe town will also be moving forward

with plans to “channelize” railroad cross-ings as a way to increase safety and main-tain train whistle quiet zones from Black-strap Road to the Cumberland town line.

Approximately 25 people stayed late into the evening Monday to show their support for the proposal to install median dividers that extend 100 feet on each side of the railroad crossings to prevent drivers from going around and crossing the tracks when the gates are down.

The work is expected to cost $127,000.If the town makes the changes, it will

qualify for a train whistle quiet zone. While train conductors will still be able to blow whistles if they see an obstruction or person on or near the tracks, they will not blow it routinely when crossing intersections.

The Amtrak Downeaster train service to Brunswick is expected to run up to six times per day along the route, in addition

to the freight trains that already use the tracks. After the recent renovations made to the tracks, residents said Monday that the freight trains are moving much faster. The Downeaster is expected to travel at around 60 mph.

Inverness Road resident Bruce Perry, who lives near the Woodville Road crossing, told a story of a day he was almost struck by a train.

“I have two young kids, I was driving down Woodville Road, it was the middle of summer, my windows were down. You’d think I’d be able to hear the train whistle,” he said. “My kids were yelling, they’re 3 and 5 (years old), and I went through that Woodville stop there, and only then did I hear that horn blow. The engine was 50, maybe 100 feet away. I had time, but I scared myself, my kids. The whistle, in that sense, did nothing.”

Several other speakers called on the council to install the channelization mea-sures to help keep inexperienced drivers safe as the trains ramp up speed through Falmouth.

All the councilors gave consent for the town staff to pursue the quiet zone. Poore said the town would submit the paperwork and won’t plan on actual construction until Amtrak’s plans to proceed up to Brunswick are confirmed.

“But these improvements would have to be made to keep a no-whistle zone (at Blackstrap and Falmouth roads),” he said.

An accident at the Blackstrap Road crossing last year eliminated the quiet zone, although it does not take effect until 2013. Channelization would reinstate that quiet zone.

“If you want to maintain a quiet zone, you have to do this anyway,” Poore said.

The council will vote on spending the money for the improvements at its Dec. 12 meeting.


@emilyparkhurst.

to see what works best.But some lobstermen and island residents

oppose the two locations over concerns that the farms will interfere with fishing and moorings.

At least 13 people have submitted letters requesting an adjudicatory hearing on the Chebeague Island lease, and at least five have requested the same hearing for Jewell Island.

The Chebeague Island hearing will be held Dec. 19 at 11:30 a.m. at the Chebeague Island Hall Community Center, 247 South Road. The Jewell Island hearing will be held Dec. 21 at 1 p.m. at Community Hall on Cliff Island.

The hearings are formal fact-finding sessions where witnesses will be called to testify under oath. It will then be up to the DMR commissioner to determine whether the lease interferes unreasonably with lob-ster fishing and other uses of the areas.

Those who wrote letters asking for the Chebeague Island hearing, including the Chebeague Island harbor master, several long-time lobstermen, and representatives from the Chebeague Island Community As-sociation, expressed concerns that the pro-posed location would interfere with lobster fishing, a planned future town mooring site, and riparian rights for nearby landowners.

The Jewell Island letters were all faxed together to the DMR and contained no reasons for their hearing request. Each re-quester signed a brief statement requesting the hearing. They did not provide addresses or contact information.

Dobbins said he and Olson have been preparing for the hearings, while in the midst of their busiest season at the kelp nursery at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute on Commercial Street in Portland.

He would not elaborate on their plans for testimony at the hearing, or share his thoughts on the hearing, saying only that they hope lobstermen will be the prime users of the aquaculture they develop with these leases.

“This can all co-exist,” Dobbins said. “We just have to convince everyone it can.”

Unsung herofrom page 5


Maravich, father of future basketball phe-nomenon “Pistol” Pete Maravich.

Linkovich went on to Springfield Col-lege to work on his master’s degree, and while there he received the offer to come to Bowdoin.

“The College wanted me to be the ath-letic trainer and soccer coach for a salary of $2,700,” he said, “but I told them I couldn’t do both.”

Because of his engaging personality – Linkovich will talk to anyone – and his ubiquitous presence at Bowdoin events, he

became friends with thousands of Bow-doin students over the years. The Classes of 1958 and 1959 made him an “honorary member,” and in 1980 he received the Bowdoin Alumni Award for Faculty and Staff in recognition of his outstanding ser-vice and devotion to the college.

Many other honors have come Linkov-ich’s way (none of which he mentioned during an interview): Athletic Trainers Hall of Fame, Beaver County (Pa.) Sports Hall of Fame, Davis and Elkins College Athletic Hall of Fame, Maine Baseball Hall of Fame, and the American College Hockey Association Jim Fullerton Award “for one who loves the purity of sport,” just

to name a few.One more point of pride: Linkovich was

a trainer for the U.S. men’s hockey team at the Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid in 1980, the site of the “Miracle on Ice.”

Linkovich said he has been driven not by public recognition, but by his love of sport and his affection for people, especially young athletes.

“Playing a sport teaches you how to get along with people and how to deal with things when they go your way,” he said, “and when they do not.”

On what it takes to be a good athletic trainer: “Use your common sense. Don’t do something you’re not qualified to do.”

On what it takes to be a good coach: “You have to be able to pick the players and then get them to play together. And you have to maintain good discipline.”

On Bowdoin students: “They’re good kids and they’re pretty darn smart.”

Linkovich said he has absolutely no re-grets over his decision to come to Bowdoin and to Brunswick 67 years ago.

“Being a part of the Bowdoin community is the best thing that ever happened to me,” he said. “And Brunswick is a great place to raise a family.”
