Improved community food pantry to open in CumberlandBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — With four times the size and double the days of operation, a new community food pantry pegged to open Nov. 2 is expected to be a boon to patrons and volunteers alike.

The new pantry will be at the rear of Town Hall, on the ground floor, and will be open each Friday. Its hours are expected to be 1-4 p.m.

An existing pantry, housed beneath the sanctuary of Cumberland Congregational Church, has been in operation since the 1980s. But Tom Gruber, a Cumberland town councilor involved in coordinating the new pantry, is among those who feel the current space is far from ideal – it’s only open two days a month, and requires patrons and vol-unteers to navigate a set of steps.

Couple indicted for allowing teen drinkingBy David Harry

FALMOUTH — A Fieldstone Lane couple face an Oct. 4 arraignment in the Cumberland County Unified Crimi-nal Docket in Portland after they were indicted Monday on charges of allowing underage teenagers to drink alcohol dur-ing a June party at their home.

Barry Spencer, 53, and his wife,

Paula Spencer, 52, were each named in nine Class D counts of allowing a minor to possess or consume liquor in indictments handed up by a Cumberland County grand jury.

An indictment is finding that enough evidence exists to prosecute, not a find-ing of guilt. Class D misdemeanors are punishable by up to a year in jail and a

$2,000 fine.Lawyers Walter McKee and William

Childs, who represent Barry Spencer and Paula Spencer, respectively, have indicated in court records they will en-ter pleas of not guilty for their clients. Both attorneys advised the court and

N. Yarmouth to vote on whether to begin SAD 51 withdrawalBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — The Board of Selectmen voted 3-1 Tuesday to put a ques-tion suggesting withdrawal from School Administrative District 51 on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

If the question is approved, negotiations would begin between North Yarmouth and the school district, which the town formed with Cumberland in 1966. A negotiated withdrawal plan would be developed and ultimately go back to North Yarmouth and require approval by two-thirds of voters.

Resident Mark Verrill, who spearheaded the petition, but did not attend Tuesday’s meeting, had 214 signatures validated by the town clerk’s office in July – 11 more than required to approve the petition. He presented the certified petition to the Board of Selectmen last week.

Verrill wanted the question to go on the November ballot because the presidential election is expected to draw a large voter

By Will GraffPORTLAND — The Old Port will soon

add another restaurant to the city’s menu with the expansion of Freeport-based Buck’s Naked BBQ.

Wendy and Alex Caisse, owners of the Route 1 barbecue restaurant, said they expect to sign a lease this week for 50 Wharf St.

They said they already have plans laid out for the space, their third location, which they hope to open in November.

“We had some apprehension in the begin-ning,” Alex Caisse said. “But over the years we’ve become very confident in our staff and in our products. Now we’re ready to delve into a new atmosphere.”

The Caisses said they looked in New Hampshire and as far south as Boston before finding the space most recently oc-cupied by Havana South.

“I was actually out of town when (Alex) found it,” Wendy Caisse said. “Usually when I go on vacation, I come back and he has a dog. But, it’s good to get a new

Wendy and Alex Caisse, at right, owners of Buck’s Naked BBQ, at their Freeport restaurant on Friday, Sept. 7. The Caisses,

who have another restaurant in Windham, plan to open a third estblishment at 50 Wharf St. in Portland, the former home of

restaurant, too.”The Caisses said they had been looking

for a new space for about 13 weeks.“We’re highly motivated to get it open

for the holidays,” Alex Caisse said. “All the guts are there, we just have to put our touch on it.”

Their existing restaurants, in Freeport and Windham, are each specialized to ac-commodate the clientele of the area, and the Wharf Street location will follow suit, they said.

Wendy Caisse said she is shopping for old windows and doors, along with “tacky” knick-knacks to decorate the Wharf Street restaurant, which, like the Buck’s in Freeport, will have an expansive kids’ play area.

The major difference at the new location will be an expanded bar compared to their other locations, with 40-50 seats, to cater to Portland’s nightlife.

In a tough economic climate, and in a city where restaurant competition is tough, the Caisses have their work cut out for them.

Portland is often cited as having more restaurants per capita than any almost any other city in the country — although the

veracity of that statistic is hard to establish, according to Dick Grotton, president of the Maine Restaurant Association. Nonetheless, Grotton said, the food-dense climate, with some 400 restaurants, undoubtedly creates a tough atmosphere for new establishments.

What is true is that more than 50 percent of restaurants go out of business every year for the first five years, so it’s a risky business, Grotton said. But he thinks the Caisses are well positioned.

“Alex is an experienced chef and his wife has vast experience in the food industry,” Grotton said. “They know what they’re do-ing and they’re not likely to be blindsided by things. They understand very well where the market is going.”

Grotton said the key is matching the res-taurant’s menu, style and ambiance with the

By Amber CroninFALMOUTH — Town officials say

there are no immediate plans for legal action against Yarmouth resident Steve Woods in the continuing disagreement over his company's compliance with the town sign ordinance.

But they also remain determined to have TideSmart Global comply with the law.

Woods, meanwhile, has delivered Free-dom of Access Act requests to the town to prepare for what he called “any and all options.”

“As this matter progresses along, it's clear that the town of Falmouth intends for this to be a legal issue as opposed to an administrative issue,” Woods said Monday.

Town Manager Nathan Poore said that he is unaware of any potential legal action against Woods. He said the Town Council is still willing to work with Woods on bringing the Route 1 sign into compliance.

“There are two orders of business to ad-dress,” Poore said. “The sign needs to be in compliance and we need to respond to his Freedom of Access request.”

Woods issued the first of two Freedom of Access requests on Aug. 28, the day after councilors spent 47 minutes discuss-ing TideSmart Global's sign.

The concern is that the sign is out of compliance with the town's commercial signage ordinance because the letters on the word “Global” are one inch smaller than the required five inches. Council Chairwoman Faith Varney claims the sign is 8 feet tall, 2 feet taller than the height limit. Woods maintains that the sign is only 6 feet tall.

In the Aug. 28 request, Woods asked the town for “any and all documents ... pertaining to the TideSmart Global sig-

nage issue.”His second request, on Sept. 5, renewed

the first demands and also included infor-mation on the chronology of events given to councilors, executive sessions and the employment contracts and employment information for Poore, Community De-velopment Director Amanda Sterns and Code Enforcement Officer Justin Brown.

“On one hand they're claiming that I put up the wall and the sign before the ordinance was final and on the other hand they're claiming that I'm in violation of the ordinance," Woods said. "Both things can't legally be true."

He said that if his sign was up before the ordinance was passed, then it is not out of compliance because it should be grandfathered.

Woods said that he requested the employment information about Poore, Sterns and Brown because he feels there is a “breakdown relative to management authority and duty” at Town Hall and he wants to look into where that breakdown is occurring.

He said he had not received a response in the two weeks since his first request was sent to the town.

Poore disagreed. He said he responded the same day the Aug. 28 request was made, informing Woods that he would put together a cost and time estimate. He said he told Woods his request would cost more than $30 and it would take several

days to determine the total cost and time required for completion.

Poore said Woods' second request, made last Wednesday, is still being reviewed.

“We've got a lot of other things to do and a lot of other Freedom of Access requests to fill,” he said. “I still need to work up an estimate in the event that it's over $100. We've broken down his request to try to figure out what are requests for documents and what are questions, to fig-ure out what documents we're supposed to provide him.”

Woods, the Yarmouth Town Council chairman and independent candidate for U.S. Senate, who last week said he has canceled plans to build a $3 million office building in Falmouth because of his dis-agreement with the council, this week said

he is ready for the problem to be resolved.“Every time there is another volley it

feels like I am dragged into a continuing debate,” he said. “My focus is on my business and being a community leader, not to have any conflict with the town of Falmouth. Over two weeks the town has had two opportunities to resolve this with a simple apology, and instead of trying to move forward constructively, they are continuing to misstate the facts. At every point it feels like they're doubling down on various positions that seem indefen-sible.”

Poore said that the town is willing to work with Woods, but that the council's

Medically Based Weight Loss Program Showing Great Results

195 Fore River ParkwayPortland

207-699-4225drverneweightloss.com

A combination of science andsupport has made losing weighta way of life for more than 1,600clients of the Center for WeightManagement & Wellness inPortland. Since opening in 2009,patients of the Center in Portlandhave shedmore than 60,000 pounds.To the doctors who formed the

practice, Dr.VerneWeisberg andDr.Rodney Voisine, those results areheartening, but they are only a smallpart of the story. “The number onthe scale doesn’t matter that much,”says Dr. Weisberg. “What we caremost about is helping people learnhow to feed themselves better andhow to make positive changes thatwill last for a lifetime.The impetus for opening the

Center came when Dr. Weisberg, aplastic surgeon, became frustrated

at the number ofhis patients whowanted an easyfix that he knewwould not treatan underlyingproblem. “I wouldoften not knowhow to help them

lose the weight they needed to lose,and I was sure that if they couldlose weight they might not wantsurgery.”To the clients who have come

to the Center, it is clear that Drs.Weisberg and Voisine have founda sensible and lasting approach tothe problem that is currently facedby more than two-thirds of the U.S.population and baffles even the bestof bariatric physicians.“I can’t say enough about them,”

claims James Matthews, who haslost 160 pounds with the Centerby changing not just his diet buthis attitude. “It’s a mindset,” heexplains. “This is the best staff I’veever dealt with. They can’t help youenough, with encouragement andsupport.”Both Dr. Weisberg and Dr.

Voisine have had a long-standinginterest in the science of nutrition.“I’ve always been interested in howa nutrient-rich diet can promotehealth,” says Dr. Voisine. He usedhis medical and pharmaceuticalknowledge todevelop theOldOceanHouse Farms brand of nutritionalsupplements with proven benefitsthat he offers patients at the center.“We are a medically-directed,

physician-based practice,” Dr.Voisine adds. “We are not a

commercial weight loss program.”Both doctors are members of theAmerican Society of BariatricPhysicians and are working towardcertification by the American Boardof Obesity Medicine.The Center’s patients also reap

rewards in measureable medicalbenefits. These include significantdecreases in overall cholesterol andbody fat composition, a reducedneed for diabetes medications, andlower blood pressure readings.For more information contact the

Former state archivist launches online encyclopedia of MaineBy Dylan Martin

HARPSWELL — Did you ever want to learn about the political platforms of the Maine Republican Party from the past century?

Or perhaps you were curious about the landmarks Benedict Arnold passed in his 1775 march across the state to capture Quebec.

Now there is a homegrown online des-tination for those and many more Maine facts – more than 1,750 articles, 4,000 photographs and 100 videos – and it comes from a former state archivist and deputy secretary of state.

After more than 10 years of travel, research and writing, Selectman James Henderson has released an online Maine

encyclopedia for the whole world to see at MaineAnEncyclopedia.com.

“Maine: An Encyclopedia” is a com-pendium of state knowledge – with a few errors and typos, Henderson admitted. The project began in 2001 on a CD-ROM, and eventually expanded to a DVD format, that was available at all Maine public libraries, along with some schools and colleges.

The information comes from a series of sources, including more than 50 books or articles about the state, along with the Maine State Archives, which Henderson directed from 1987-2007.

By Amber CroninFALMOUTH — Residents expressed

overwhelming support for METRO bus service at a Town Council public hearing Monday night.

The hearing was scheduled after a peti-tion drive gathered enough signatures to put a referendum on the Nov. 6 ballot to end the town’s participation in the Greater Portland Transit District.

All but one member of the public, and all of the town councilors, spoke in favor of maintaining bus service between Port-land and Falmouth. Many said the service not only helps residents get around town, but also helps business by delivering cus-tomers and employees.

Falmouth residents express support for bus serviceGreenhouses and a member of the Fal-mouth Economic Improvement Com-mittee, said the service is essential to his business.

“At any one time several of our staff absolutely needs the METRO to travel from Portland into Falmouth,” he said. “These are important people to our staff and we can’t turn our back on them.”

Skillin also suggested there may be ways to “tweak” bus routes so METRO service is more affordable for the town.

“I hope that common sense and mod-eration wins out,” he said.

Michelle Smith of Goodwill Industries said the bus service helps employees, customers and donors reach Goodwill’s Falmouth Shopping Center store.

service to Falmouth makes up only one-third of 1 percent of the town’s annual $40 million budget; in 2012, the service cost Falmouth $117,000.

Michael Doyle, the resident who circu-lated the petition for the referendum, was the only person who spoke in opposition to the bus service. He said the annual cost of the service was actually $147,000 this year, with $31,000 provided by the state and federal governments.

Doyle said the bus is empty most of the time – a claim fact other residents disputed.

“I’ve been on the bus probably more than anybody in this room,” Doyle said. “When I’m on the bus there’s two or three commuters during different times of the day, on different days of the week.”

Voter approval of the referendum would mean Falmouth must end its contract with METRO effective Dec. 31, 2013, and provide no further compensa-tion, except to cover existing debt.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

net or 781-3661 ext. 125. Follow her on Twitter @croninamber.

Both candidates in House District 112, incumbent state Rep. Mary Nelson, D-Falmouth, and challenger John Logan Jones, R-Falmouth, also spoke in support of the bus service.

“When I was first elected to the Leg-islature four years ago, the first piece of legislation I submitted and sponsored was to make Falmouth a member of MET-RO,” Nelson said. “The bus in Falmouth provides public transportation, which is a benefit and a very affordable benefit for the citizens of Falmouth.”

Jones said he thinks there is a better way to fund the service. He suggested that instead of factoring METRO service into the town’s budget, the service should be paid for by fares.

“I’m for buses, but I’m not for things costing taxpayers any more money,” he said.

According to Glen Brand, a member of Friends of the Falmouth Flyer, the bus

Only 1 contested election likely in FreeportBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — Town elections will be stocked with incumbents and may have only one contested race.

With less than 24 hours before the 4 p.m. Wednesday deadline for submitting nomination papers, two elections had no candidates and, with one exception, all other races were uncontested if all can-didates who took out nomination papers return the required signatures.

As of late Tuesday, papers had been returned for Sewer District trustee, Town Council District 4 and at-large, and a Regional School Unit 5 Board of Direc-tors seat, according to the town clerk's office. Three sets of papers were still outstanding.

A Sewer District seat and seat on the Water District Board of Trustees could remain vacant if no one takes out papers and returns them before the deadline.

Town Council Chairman Jim Cassida is running again in District 4. Andrew Wellen had taken out papers for the seat, but had not returned them by late Tuesday.

Melanie Sachs, who ran unsuccessfully in the June Democratic primary for the state House, will be uncontested for the

at-large council seat, currently held by Councilor Charlotte Bishop, who is not seeking re-election.

In the Sewer District, Trustee and Fire Chief Darrel Fournier will be unchal-lenged. Sewer District Clerk, Leland Arris III, had taken out papers for one of the other seats, but had not yet returned his papers to qualify.

Another Town Council seat could become available if Vice Chairwoman Sarah Gideon wins her bid for the state Legislature this November. A special election would likely be held to fill the

vacancy.School Board incumbents John Mo-

rang and Karin Perlotto VanNostrand took out papers for the two open School Board positions, but only Morang had returned his papers. No challengers had taken out papers.

To have enough signatures to qualify for the ballot candidates for Town Coun-cil District 4 need 50 signatures, at-large council candidates need 100, and the

Water District and Sewer District candi-dates need 25.

Election Day is Nov. 6. Voting will take place at Freeport High School.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow Will on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

Yarmouth council considers public works garage referendumBy Will Graff

YARMOUTH — Residents will decide whether to spend $2.3 million for a pub-lic works garage if the Town Council next week sends the proposal to a November referendum.

The council decided at its Sept. 6 workshop to hold a final public hearing on the project at its next regular meeting on Sept. 20. At the meeting, the town planner will also make a presentation, Town Manager Nat Tupper said.

The proposal for the North Road ga-

rage was scaled back significantly from earlier projections that carried a price tag of about $7 million. The new, smaller project will add two bays for washing and maintenance, and buy land adjacent to the property to allow for future expansions.

The initial plan had a much larger vi-sion that included building a new facility and moving two sports fields to make room for the larger facility.

The current garage was built in the

mid-1960s and handles all maintenance for town vehicles and equipment. It is also the home base for snow plow opera-tions in the winter.

At the workshop last week, the council also discussed spending $15,000 on an investigation for the Royal River restora-tion, which could potentially include the removal of the river's two dams.

The town would be paying for less than 20 percent of the investigation, which will cost $88,000. The remainder of the money will come from grants from the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad-ministration, Sewall Foundation, Horizon Foundation and the Royal River Conser-vation Trust, which will assist the town with the investigation.

In addition to those two items, the council heard recommendations from the Parks and Public Lands Management Committee regarding off-leash dogs at town facilities.

The discussion stemmed from com-plaints about problems with dogs and owners not cleaning up after them at San-dy Point Beach, Tupper said. Although no specific proposal is on the table, the issue will be open for public comment at the council meeting on Sept. 20.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected].

Falmouth workshop targets invasive species

FALMOUTH — The Conservation Commission is offering a workshop this weekend on identification and removal of invasive species.

The workshop runs from 9-11 a.m. Saturday at Falmouth Memorial Li-brary. Commission members will show residents how to identify the plants and demonstrate the most effective removal methods.

Participants should bring gloves and wear long sleeves and long pants. The workshop is free and no pre-registration is required.

Bank of Maine opens new office in Falmouth

FALMOUTH — The Bank of Maine has opened its newest office at the Shops at Falmouth Village, 240 U.S. Route 1.

The office, the 33rd for the Portland-based bank, is managed by Falmouth resident Jahnna Armitage and is open weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Satur-day 9 a.m.-noon.

The space was previously occupied by Norway Savings Bank.

No injuries in Falmouth school bus accident

FALMOUTH — Police are still try-ing to determine the cause of a Monday afternoon accident involving a school bus and an SUV.

At around 4 p.m. the bus driven by Scott Tapley collided with a 2011 Toyota RAV-4 driven by Falmouth resident Rich-ard Couture. Both drivers claim to have had a green light and police said they are working to determine who was at fault.

No one was injured in the accident and police are looking for any witnesses.

Downeaster service to Freeport, Brunswick begins Nov. 1By Will Graff

FREEPORT — Amtrak’s Downeaster will start service Nov. 1 from Portland to Brunswick, with a stop in Freeport, ac-cording to a Wednesday announcement by regional rail officials.

The schedule will have daily trains run-ning from Freeport to Brunswick starting at 6:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, according to the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority. Tickets will be available Oct. 1.

The train will make two round trips between Brunswick and Boston, and an additional round trip between Brunswick and Portland, each day. Currently, it makes five daily round trips from Boston’s North Station to Portland.

The $38 million expansion of the rail-way is the first rail service expansion to be completed in the nation using federal stimulus funds, NNEPRA Executive Di-rector Patricia Quinn said this week.

Although work to prepares tracks for November is on schedule, a few projects remain, including turnouts and signals, Quinn said.

The Freeport Town Council also has work to do ahead of the service start-up, and has scheduled a public hearing for 8 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 18 at the town office on Main Street, where it may consider annexing land from a private owner using eminent domain.

This will allow the town to take the property regardless of if the land owner wants to give it up. The town would be

FREEPORT — The annual meeting of TrainRiders/Northeast will be held at 5 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 13 at the Harraseeket Inn, 162 Main St.

The guest list includes U.S. Secre-tary of Transportation Ray LaHood and Maine Commissioner of Trans-portation David Bernhardt. U.S. Sen.

Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, is sched-uled to appear via a video feed.

As of Tuesday, tickets were still available for the meeting. Tickets are $60, include dinner and can be purchased online or, if space allows, at the door.

Passenger rail advocates convenerequired to offer money for the property, which can be appealed by the land owner, although the decision to take the land can-not be appealed.

If the town ever decides to build a larger station in the future, the land would be the “ideal spot” for expansion and long-term parking, which the town currently lacks, Town Manager Dale Olmstead said. Emi-nent domain would only be used for the easement next to the parking lot.

The town has been in negotiations with the land owner for several months over a section of a parking lot off Depot Street next to the train station, but has not been able to reach an agreement, Olmstead said.

“We started out miles apart. We’re getting closer, but we’re not there yet,” he said. “I hope by the time we have the public hearing on the taking, the two par-ties will have come to an agreement on the acquisition of the parking lot and (we) do not have to use eminent domain.”

The price appraisal by the town was close to the assessed value, but substan-tially lower than the asking price, Olm-stead said.

In addition to the land acquisition, Freeport, along with Cumberland and Falmouth, have also considered quiet zones for the train route, which would prevent trains from blowing their whistles when passing through the towns.

All the towns have considered adding

additional improvements at their cross-ings to prevent cars from driving onto the tracks while a train is passing. Those improvements will likely not happen until the spring construction season, according to the towns’ managers.

Freeport and Falmouth currently meet the federal requirements to have quiet zones; Cumberland does not.

Ridership on the train has seen tre-mendous growth since its introduction in December 2001, increasing by more than 15 percent in 2008 after additional stops were added, to about 530,000 passengers

last year, making it the fastest-growing service for Amtrak in the nation, accord-ing to Quinn.

She said ridership appears to be on pace for another record year, although sched-uled maintenance in Massachusetts could suppress the numbers.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

It’s Fall Harvest and Apple Pickin’ Time!


By David TreadwellBRUNSWICK — Christy Shake, on first

impression, seems to have the perfect life.She’s attractive, smart, personable. She

lives in a nice cedar house, just steps from Bowdoin College. A magnificent backyard garden reflects her artistic eye. She’s married to Michael Kolster, a popular photography professor at Bowdoin.

Shake spent her early years in the fast lane in the Pacific Northwest. Top student. Talented swimmer. Earned Academic All-American honors at Central Washington University. After graduation, she spent seven months backpacking in Europe. Her retail career in Seattle led her to design apparel in San Francisco, where she worked for Levi Strauss. While there, she met Kolster.

In 2000, Kolster moved to Maine to teach at Bowdoin, and Shake arrived a year later. Her experience landed her a job as senior de-signer for the women’s brand at L.L. Bean. After Christy became pregnant, she resigned her position, the first step down a much different life path then she had anticipated.

Shake recalls that a doctor who, after detecting “enlarged lateral ventricles” in her unborn child’s brain, said, “This is some-thing you need to worry about; come back in four weeks.”

Taken aback by the news (and the doc-tor’s insensitivity), Shake launched into action, unwilling to wait four weeks to do something that might help her unborn child. She conducted research and then got tested

at Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital, which was conducting studies. The tests revealed pos-sible brain hemorrhaging and other issues. Shake had also noticed that she rarely felt her baby move.

Plans called for a scheduled Caesarian-section at Children’s Hospital in Boston on Feb. 11, 2004, but Christy’s water broke a few days earlier, during an ice storm, so it was not possible for her to get to Boston.

Her son Calvin was born six weeks early at Maine Medical Center in Portland, on Feb. 7, 2004.

“He was four pounds, 15 ounces,” Shake said, “a good size for a preemie. But he had very low muscle tone and terrible Apgar scores.” Calvin spent the first week of his life in intensive care and remained in the hospital for six more weeks.

During his first year and into the second, Calvin continued to lag behind on the usual child development skills.

“He couldn’t hold his head up until he was 1,” Shake recalled. “I’d spend hours on my knees trying to teach him to crawl. He was legally blind, as he could only see about six inches in front of his face.”

And then things got worse. Much worse.At 18 months, Calvin experienced a fe-

brile seizure, followed by another febrile seizure a few weeks later. In March 2006, he was diagnosed with epilepsy and began

taking seizure medications to deal with the condition. At 2 1/2, Calvin had a grand mal seizure that lasted 45 minutes.

“I knew that such a long seizure would probably affect his brain function,” Shake said, “and we thought he was going to die.”

Today, Calvin is 8 years old. Heavily medicated because of his epilepsy, he still experiences seizures about once a month, each lasting about three minutes. He attends Coffin School, where he works one-on-one with aides. The aides send home daily re-ports of what occurred in school, and nurses come in four days a week to ease the burden on Shake and her husband.

“Calvin can’t walk without falling,” Shake said. “We have to hold his hands or put him in a harness. He can’t speak. And he mouths everything. We have to be on him like a bad suit. He’s so wound up due to the drugs that

I can’t hold him in my lap. It’s physically and emotionally demanding.”

Shake now puts energy into helping raise awareness of epilepsy and funds to find a cure. She rattles off facts with ease.

“More people – 50,000 – die each year from epilepsy than from breast cancer,” she said, “but it lags other major diseases in research funding because of the stigma and the lack of a celebrity advocate.”

Shake writes a personal and poignant daily blog called “Calvin’s Story,” and finds release in tending to her exquisite garden. “I wanted to create a beautiful space. Michael and I seldom travel, so the backyard is like our own in-town camp,” she said.

If you read her blog, you will discover that Shake doesn’t feel a woe-is-me sorrow. But she is no Pollyanna. She’s a strong and devoted mother and wife. She’s also fiercely determined to help find a cure for a condi-tion that, in Calvin’s case, “trumps blindness and all his other issues.”

Shake said she doesn’t see herself as a hero, either.

“Our son is the real hero in this story,” she said. “He’s going through all this stuff, and he can’t even tell us how he feels. Yes, Calvin is the real hero.”

ContributedChristy Shake of Brunswick with her son,

Calvin, who has inspired Shake to advocate for more awareness and research on epilepsy.

’Tis the season (for change)I know what you’re thinking, and no, I haven’t gone

straight from summer to Christmas. I have not taken complete leave of my senses.

I have, however, been pondering the seasons. And the passing of time. And the way the first day at the beach, or the first orange leaf, or the first tulip popping up through the snow can change us in a myriad of ways.

Recently, a good friend shared with me a video about the perception of time, and how it varies among people. Apparently, we humans are divided up into those who are past, present and/or future ori-ented, and this clearly af-fects how we live and enjoy our lives. One’s experience of time is reportedly greatly affected by geographic location, culture, religion and environment.

For instance, those who live closer to the equator (and therefore in warmer climates with rather consistent tem-peratures) were more likely to live, quite happily appar-ently, “in the present moment.”

This makes complete sense, and explains why people in southern Italy and most of Hawaii take three-hour lunches and say things like, “Yeah, man. Cool. I’ll call you back after I watch the moon rise.”

It also explains why people in the northeastern United States and northern Europe often look rather stern and say things like, “I’ll call you back after I dig my #&!@% car out of this snow pile!”

It’s not too far of a reach to guess that’s why we have ulcers, heart attacks and so many ailments that people in Fiji, for example, probably don’t contend with quite as regularly.

Upon viewing this video from my good friend, I felt an immediate desire to move to a warmer clime. Not Florida, but somewhere romantic and genteel. Someplace where I could lazy around and paint and write and not do much of anything more strenuous than peeling grapes and feeding them to my lover. Who would obviously be in a delightful state of constant semi-undress, due to the heat.

Being one of the closer-to-the-equator-present-oriented people on planet earth strikes me as much more attractive than being counted among those of us who are always thinking of the future – and shivering under our down comforters when an ice storm causes our power to go out in the middle of January and the thermostat in our living room registers a balmy 57 degrees.

You can see why someone might get a bit cranky after too many of those experiences.

Clearly, if you’re always preparing for the next season – making sure the lawnmower is in shape, or that your skis are waxed, or that you patched that hole in the roof before the spring rains fall – you need to be future-oriented to some extent.

But what would life be like without our beloved sea-sons? Isn’t change what makes life exciting? Is living in terminal sameness, like that movie, “Groundhog Day,”

really the key to happiness?The only time I’ve visited coastal southern California,

I was with Drew. The first few days were blissful: sun, a nearly cloudless sky, a soft, sultry breeze. But by day number four, we were already waking up, pulling aside the curtains, seeing the same old same old, and thinking, “this is just plain wrong.”

What’s the fun in waking up when you already know what it’s going to be like outside?

Out to brunch one day, we noted a woman in a pair of UGG boots, a hat and sweater. The 72-degree temperature that day didn’t exactly warrant an autumnal wardrobe, but we realized people clearly had to do something to add excitement to their existence, even if it meant creating artificial, fashion-induced seasons.

Yesterday in the car, my 16-year-old son announced, “I’m so happy it’s almost the fall. I can’t wait to pick pumpkins and get my ski pass and for it to snow so I have a reason to be all cozy in my room.”

“Enough summer?” I asked.“It was fun, but it’s time for a change.”Perhaps one day I’ll tire of snowflakes. Maybe. Mean-

while, I’m going to try to be as present-oriented as pos-sible – even though my location and my heritage are not working in my favor.

To be or not to be: Sensible and business friendly in FalmouthBy Bryan Dench

Those who point out Falmouth's favorable tax rate (compared, for example, to Cumberland) don't always acknowledge this is because Route 1 and other busi-nesses pay taxes while demanding few public services. We would be crazy to discourage local business, but that is exactly what we keep doing, reflecting what seems to be a bias against freedom in private investment decisions.

Not long ago town officials unsuccessfully tried to prevent WalMart from expanding by en-acting an arbitrary limit on the footprint of commercial buildings. Now they are trying to restrict commercial development to 30,000 square feet because, as Councilor Bonny Rodden says, "we don't want" big-ger stores and businesses in Falmouth. This will exclude businesses and tax revenues that we might wish to have, and could well cripple efforts to develop the old Shaw's supermarket location.

Route 1 is a natural business corridor and commercial center. Why are we discouraging capital investment there? Other Maine communities, such as Lewiston, have tried to impose the "vision" of downtown planners and coun-cilors with dismal results. Let's not repeat their mistakes.

The proposal to reverse years of planning for already pedestrian-friendly Route 1 by potentially forcing retail-ers to spend huge sums undoing what previous experts and town officials mandated is more top-down, “we know best” planning. Instead of businesses being set back

from the street, the latest expert "vision" is to bring all businesses back to the street, which, they say, will then teem with shoppers and residents lining up to live on floors above businesses and shops. The taxpayer price tag for the grandest vision is a $15 million gamble on becoming “Freeport south” — without the advantage of a world-renowned retailer or commercial floor space to

encourage one.When town leaders deal with

actual businesses, they reveal a lack of evenhandedness and civility, as noted in the recent lambasting of TideSmart Global owner Steve Woods over the "beautiful," but non-conforming sign he installed.

Self-proclaimed "business-friendly" Councilor Chris Orestis attacked Woods, saying he wanted the town to "hurt him." Then, sadly, Orestis sarcastically mocked Woods' political ambitions. Evidently, Orestis thinks our civility code censors only citizen comments, not insults by Falmouth councilors. The council's rude and insulting treatment of Woods has now apparently led to his deci-sion to invest his capital somewhere else.

In June, Orestis and others supported spending $36,000 on OceanView's feasibility study, until citizens persuaded a majority this was unwise. Falsely claiming the town had an "obligation" to OceanView, Orestis insulted the coun-cilors who voted against his position. Now the council has agreed to spend $15,000 of taxpayer money to pay for a natural gas service study. The utility is fighting tooth and claw against competitors to expand its territory and

doubtless can pay for the study itself.We are sending mixed messages to the business com-

munity. Published reports have shown business leaders are skeptical of the impact of size limits and other Route 1 changes on their business prospects. Yet the council is rapidly moving toward the Route 1 boondoggle at an es-timated cost of $5 million to $15 million in public money.

Councilors are hustling the town toward a "partner-ship" with OceanView, even though, contrary to Orestis' statements, there is absolutely no commitment in the sale agreement for the town to enter any public/private partnership, let alone incur public expenditures. Relocat-ing the Falmouth Memorial Library, an idea rejected by voters a year ago, apparently will be part of the "partner-ship," setting Falmouth Corners up for “mini-sprawl” by tearing out the heart of its existing town center to move three-quarters of a mile away. That's inconsistent with making Route 1 into a village center.

Falmouth’s small-town feel would be better preserved, with the library’s historic and central location, by creating community facilities where private interests were ready to do just that a few years ago — until certain town coun-cilors shot them down. Land near Family Ice, the farmers market, American Legion and the Little League complex was designed to have walking paths to the shopping areas and to each other. A couple of crosswalks in residential neighborhoods (with its 25 mph speed limit), similar to walkways that connect the high school and its sports fields, make best economic, business and cultural sense.

“The officer didn’t read me my Miranda Rights. Doesthat mean my case will be dismissed”? This is one ofthe most frequently asked questions that I hear fromfolks charged with OUI and other criminal offenses. Theanswer varies from case to case. Here’s what you needto know:

Miranda “warnings” are only required when and ifyou are in custody. Custody means that you are beingrestrained by a law enforcement officer to a degreethat we would normally associate with “formal arrest”.Just being pulled over and asked some questions orto perform field sobriety tests is not enough. Althoughdetained, you are not in “custody” for Miranda purposes.If the handcuffs go on, you are in custody. Each case,each situation must be analyzed on its own specific facts.Slight changes in specific circumstances can change thewhole ball game.

If and when you are in custody (ultimately that is aquestion for a judge to decide), the officer must provideyou with your Miranda warnings prior to “interrogating”you. Interrogation means asking questions orengaging in any conduct that is designed to “elicit anincriminating response”. If you invoke your rights underMiranda (remaining silent, have a lawyer present forexample), interrogation must cease. Again, the courtis the final arbiter of what is interrogation versus simpleadministrative questioning. Violations of your Mirandarights are not dispositive of your case. The remedy,generally, is that the court will exclude the questions andanswers from a potential trial in your case. Further, if youinvoke your Miranda rights, that invocation can not beused against you at trial.

The failure of the officer to provide you with Mirandawarnings is just the tip of a large and sometimescomplex iceberg. For a comprehensive analysis ofthe many complex issues in your case, call me for afree consultation at NICHOLS, WEBB & LORANGER207-879-4000. You can find me in The Time & TemperatureBuilding at 477 Congress Street, Portland and check meout at www.nicholswebb.com.

Defending Maine,Defending You.

By Abby DiazThe calendar turn into September has not always seemed

significant. As I spent years in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., letting my profession get the better of me, I did not register any changes that could be tied to a new season. The subway was still hot and crowded, I was still working more often than not, and my emotional barometer was still stuck on tired and stressed.

Now that I have left behind the Big Law Firm life and returned to Maine, things are different. Sep-tember ushers in crisp air, waning daylight, and an impulse for apple consumption. What’s more, the mere introduction of the month has made me feel very emotional.

It’s not like I need Taylor Swift to pen some lyrics about a recent heartbreak or a guy who won’t take the hint that we’re broken up and enough already. My most recent heartbreak was in the last century. And I’m relatively confident that if I tell my husband we’re so over, I will have opened a can of worms that even country music can’t handle, never mind that it’s of the crossover variety.

This September has caused me to feel sentimental, excited, and nervous.

This September means that it’s time for my daughter to go back to school. A school where she will navigate educational expectations and social pressures without my hand to steady her. A school where she will identify and

work to meet the milestones that will set her up for suc-cess next year. A school where her yearbook will be tied to a pine cone.

This September, my daughter is 4. Her school is a pre-school. A circle is marked off on the rug in black tape.

I know. It’s huge and very intense. It’s a wonder we can reach the final page of “Love, Ruby Valentine” every night.

My daughter enters this Septem-ber with worries surrounding the squeezable yogurt I seem eager to pack for her lunch and her teething brother’s predilection for gnawing her Barbies. I’m confronting this September by trying to get a grip

on my competing emotions.I have a hard time believing that summer is over. No

more long nights of soft light dimming into a gentle sun-set. No more mornings spent applying sunscreen. No more rationalizing that it’s an appropriate time for ice cream simply because we are awake.

Yet the descent into fall brings us back to a familiar pat-tern that feels reassuring. A clockwork of busy mornings, strategic drop-offs, distracting workdays, and the sprints to pick-up. The patchwork quilt of summer child-care coverage is replaced by the steady drumbeat of a school-year schedule.

But disaster lurks. What if my daughter isn’t good about getting back on the classroom routine? How much damage

did I cause by failing to sign her up for Mr. Will’s reading club at the library? Did I compound that damage by being conversely diligent about checking out two DVDs from said library on a biweekly basis? Actually, let’s skip ahead.

Am I ready for what this return means to me?Back to packing lunches, an exercise in consulting

Excel spreadsheets and an abacus. No nut products. More organic, less packaging. Shame on me and that fruit rope.

Back to laying out age-appropriate outfits, an exercise in defying Target. Sift past the lace and sequins and plunging V-necks. Identify the monochrome leggings and knee-grazing tunics. Aim for preschool clothes that say “I’m ready to get my spelling on” and not “mid-life crisis.”

Back to game-planning a timely exit of the house each morning, an exercise in early rising and dogged heckling. Make lunches with one hand, breakfast with the other. Retrieve strewn Cheerios with one foot, load dishwasher with the other. Bang wall with head. Repeat.

In sum, I am sad but excited that summer is over, while already overwhelmed by its passing.

This jumble of emotions is what September means to me now. This is what September will mean to me for many years. This is the September I dreamed of when I was con-cerned about filing briefs and not filing permission slips.

I suppose I should add grateful to my list of emotions this September.

Election lettersThe deadline for letters to the editor endorsing

candidates or discussing issues in the Nov. 6 elec-tion is noon, Monday, Oct. 22, for publication in our print editions of Oct. 24-26. The Forecaster does not publish election letters in the week pre-ceding Election Day.

Election letters must be no more than 150 words long, signed and include the writer’s full name, address and a daytime telephone number.

Letters should be emailed to [email protected].

Require online retailers to collect sales tax

I own Johnson’s Sporting Goods, in Brunswick, Port-land and Rockland, and I am fed up with subsidized and predatory pricing of online competitors who don’t collect sales tax. Our elected leaders should close this loophole.

Local shops are the heart and soul of communities across Maine. But every day I go to work, it’s guaran-teed that a giant online retailer like Amazon will under-cut me. Because they don’t have to collect sales taxes, their prices appear – falsely – to be better than those of traditional local retailers like me.

As Maine-owned businesses lose sales to these out-of-state giants, real Mainers and their families suffer as traffic to local shops dwindles and jobs evaporate. The state loses out from uncollected sales tax online, and lower income and business tax receipts from struggling local economies. Our communities would do much better economically if Congress corrected this flawed tax system, and leveled the playing field so that every business, gargantuan or tiny, fulfilled equitable tax re-sponsibilities.

This is a problem not just for businesses, but for cus-

Church fails by not speaking out

I am more than disappointed at the silence of “The (Christian) Church”, especially during this election cycle. By implication, the church’s non-participation suggests that either party platform is acceptable, while actually neither might be spiritually correct.

Granted that there are large areas of overlapping concerns and notions concerning possible approaches to various situations. Regardless of “right” or “left,” while both state and religion claim to be about peace for their people, the similarity stops there, for the state would establish and maintain peace via violence or the threat of violence, while Christianity’s peace is brought about by love.

Why is “The Church” silent regarding the spiritual malice of the use of violence? By its silence it is com-plicit in the state’s willingness to use violence, and fails

Politcal debate should motivate, not mislead

Most of my life I have lived with the adage, “Wise men carefully pick their words, foolish men scatter their words.” The wise are careful, most frequently weighing every word before it is uttered. The foolish seldom con-sider their utterances. In watching the TV ads and read-ing much in the printed media I am tempted to measure the messages by the above standards. It doesn’t work. Innuendos, half truths, distortions and statements out of context seem to be the fare of our day.

An ancient sage once said, “Wise people: Be careful when statements are made.”

I truly believe all of us are pained when we see and experience the hunger, the malaise and the discontent in our society. The difference seems to be in who is ready to roll up their sleeves and do something about it. I hope and pray the current political debate will provoke in us a desire to go out, visit the trenches and help the needy.

Rabbi Harry SkyFalmouth

Falmouth Town Council goes too far

I am writing as a longtime resident and taxpayer in Falmouth, and as someone eager to create more jobs and opportunities for the people of Maine. Having read about the TideSmart sign matter, and then watched the Falmouth Town Council in its prolonged harangue, I was incredulous and totally disappointed at how several councilors handled this issue.

For the council to spend over 40 minutes chastising and disparaging a local businessman who has made a substantial commitment to our town, only for having letters on his sign that are one inch shorter than the town wants, is a rather terrifying example of govern-ment overreach.

Without knowing all the inside conversations about this, Falmouth should be proud to have a magnificent property on Route 1, employing many local residents, a property that has sprung from a long abandoned and overgrown parcel. And we now have a local businessman who Councilor Chris Orestis wants to “punish.”

In sharp contrast, we also now have a neighboring town, Cumberland, which the state has just named as “busi-ness friendly.” If Falmouth wants to grow its business base to reduce our residential property taxes, a few of our councilors should consider an “attitude adjustment.” My own attitude is that these folks should stop spending my tax dollars “sending messages” and trying to “pun-ish” well-intentioned job providers. They should encour-age businesses to open in Falmouth. See for yourself, watch the council in action on Community TV. Ironic, I’m a former Latin teacher, and community is defined as “building together.”

Godfrey WoodFalmouth

Woods wrong about sign, Falmouth council

As a 16-year resident of Falmouth and seven-year business owner on Route 1, I was bothered by the ac-cusations and complaints levied against the Falmouth Town Council by Steve Woods. I did as he suggested — I listened to the Aug. 27 meeting. Rather than insults and personal attacks, I heard frustration.

The council was not attacking any individual or business owner, in my opinion; rather, it was educating the public on the lengthy process and inordinate amount of time al-ready spent on this issue. While it may be that TideSmart

helped craft the ordinance in question, once it became a part of the town’s law, it became applicable to every business in town. As a business owner and resident, I agree that it would be a mistake and set the wrong prec-edent for a change in this or any other ordi-nance to be made in order to accommodate

one business. I also agree that if a business does not wish to follow the towns’ rules, the resulting consequence should be severe enough to discourage a lack of cooperation from other business entities.

Finally, I appreciate TideSmart locating and creating jobs in Falmouth and hope that this is resolved quickly and amicably so that our council can focus on more pressing issues.

in witnessing to the teachings of Jesus. To voice a pref-erence for either Republican or Democrat is an active endorsement of the ways of “the world.” The U.S. is in the 21st century where the Roman Empire was in the 1st: both are problematic for “The Church.”

When will we find the courage and the faith to prac-tice love and non-violence that are the hall marks of The Kingdom? How can we help one another help restore some dignity and joy to our Church?

Gideon, Graham, for Freeport, Pownal

When talking with voters in Pownal and Freeport this past spring, I was struck by how many people — Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Greens — expressed disappointment and anger at the actions and tone of Gov. LePage. In two years, he and his majority have attempted to decimate health care, education, en-vironmental and voter identification statutes, while sub-jecting Maine to national ridicule through his remarks. We can halt LePage’s ability to bulldoze his initiatives through our state by denying him control of the Leg-islature this November. I am working to elect strong candidates such as Anne Graham and Sara Gideon, who will help bring balance back to our state government. I urge people of all parties in Freeport and Pownal to send a strong message to Gov. LePage by supporting these two candidates, who will represent Maine values and make a positive difference for our state and region.

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

Eat, drink and feel guiltyWhen I go to the supermarket these days (and that’s

most days), I often find myself thinking, “How in the world can young families afford to put food on the table?” It seems to me that a typical trip to the market used to cost me $20 to $30. Now I’m spending about $50 a pop, about the same amount it costs to fill up the gas tank.

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to eat pretty much what I want, but with the cost of gas and widespread drought driving up food prices many people cannot. I say “lucky,” because that’s all it is – luck. The U.S. economy is still strug-gling to recover from the 2008 financial meltdown and most of us are just one injury, illness, job loss, divorce or bad investment away from hard times.

The Yarmouth Com-munity Food Pantry, which operates out of the basement of First Parish Church, was serv-ing 11 families in 2006. Last year, it served 73. And no, Gov. LePage, we are not talking about deadbeats and welfare cheats. The people being helped are mostly working people who just aren’t paid a living wage.

The members and friends of First Parish try to get in the habit of purchasing one item for the food pantry every time we go grocery shopping. I signed up to buy tuna fish, and I did pretty well for the first few months. But now I’m so far in arrears that I must owe the pantry a whole bluefin tuna.

My friend and fellow congregant Barbara Horton buttonholed me before church a few weeks ago and asked me in her charming but emphatic way to devote one of my columns to the problem of hunger.

“This past winter,” Barbara explained, “I learned that Maine is No. 1 in New England and No. 2 or No. 6 in the nation, depending on whose report one reads, for food insecurity. I was shocked and saddened.”

So Barbara set a goal for herself of helping to publicize the issue, confident that “once the people of Maine learn the extent of the problem, they will want

to help their hungry neighbors.”To that end, Barbara and some of her Sunset Point

Road neighbors have organized a giant yard sale on Saturday, Sept. 15, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. (rain date Sun-day, Sept. 16), the proceeds to benefit Good Shepherd Food Bank. Good Shepherd delivers food to 36,000 people weekly through some 600 church and civic organizations.

How bad is the problem of hunger in Maine? Mark Swann, Donna Yellen and Elena Schmidt, all of whom work on the front line of poverty at Preble Street Resource Center in Portland, contributed an article to the Winter/Spring 2011 issue of the "Maine Policy Review" on “Hunger in Maine.” They noted that “45 percent of Maine school children are eligible to receive a free or reduced lunch.”

The fact that an estimated 69,000 Maine children aren’t sure when their next meal will be is what really bothered Barbara.

Preble Street itself provides a thousand meals a day in its soup kitchen and groceries to 150 families a week. Swann, Yellen and Schmidt reported that “in 1940 there was one food pantry in southern Maine. ... Today there are 80.” And there are as many as 450 food pantries statewide. We may be a hungry state, but it’s not as though a lot of good folks aren’t trying to feed their friends and neighbors.

If you go into Portland on a Friday or Saturday evening, however, it’s hard to believe we’re still in recession or that anyone could be going hungry. The lines waiting to get into trendy bistros are almost as long as the lines outside the soup kitchen.

Right now we have an army of social service agen-cies and volunteers battling hunger with food pantries, soup kitchens, food drives and yard sales, but it seems to me that if we were really serious about solving the problem of hunger in Maine we could do it easily. Add a small sales tax to restaurant meals and I bet we’d generate enough money to feed the hungry and those of us who are overfed might feel a little better about indulging our appetites and our pocketbooks.

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

Beem raises legitimate questions

Charles Barron of North Yarmouth, in my opinion, makes a facile "if-then" argument in his recent letter ("Surprised that Beem is still around"): if your colum-nist Edgar Beem finds fault with the U.S., then he must want to leave.

This is nonsense.The U.S. is exceptional in some ways, but isn’t the

best or the greatest nation. There's no such place. The U.S. has its failings (inequitable health care, for ex-ample), like anywhere, and I think it's productive to acknowledge and discuss those in print and elsewhere.

Bill BellSouth Portland

Beem understands the ‘3 R’s’Once again Edgar Allen Beem has hit the nail square-

ly on the head with "The GOP's 3 R's." Lord help us, because most of us will surely need it, especially the women of this country, if the Romney-Ryan ticket wins. I also agree that most opposition to President Obama is based in racism.

Muriel K. KruppaSouth Portland

Beem adds nothing to the discussion

I am "from away," but my wife and I spend a considerable amount of time in Maine throughout the year, as we are fortunate to have a home at Higgins Beach.

Whenever I am here, I am sure to obtain a copy of The Forecaster and enjoy your publication, except for the nasty, mean-spirited, hate-filled columns of Edgar Allen Beem.

I travel throughout New England and enjoy reading local newspapers when I can. Never have I encoun-tered a columnist as consistently obnoxious as Mr. Beem. He contributes nothing to rational political discourse and certainly does not enhance your news-paper. I suspect that even those on the far left of the political spectrum can't abide his writings.

William C. Leary Windsor Locks, Conn., and Scarborough

tomers, too. Most people don’t know that if you shop online at Amazon, for instance, you are required by law to report all purchases at tax time, and then send the sales tax to the state.

The Marketplace Fairness Act in the U.S. Sen-ate brings fairness back to the retail world by giving Maine the power to require online retailers to collect and remit sales taxes. Sens. Collins and Snowe should give this bill their vigorous support.

Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major cause of

residential fires in the United Statesis carelessness and faulty portableheaters. The choice of fire and safety

professional, Captain Mike Hornby,the EdenPURE® has no exposedheating elements that can cause afire. and a redundant home protec-tion system that simply shuts theEdenPURE® down if it senses dan-ger. That’s why grandparents andparents love the EdenPURE®.

The outside of the EdenPURE®

only gets warm to the touch so that itwill not burn children or pets. andyour pet may be just like my dog whohas reserved a favorite spot near theEdenPURE®. you see the Eden-PURE® uses infrared heat. and justas pets enjoy basking in a beam ofsunlight they try to stay close toEdenPURE®’s “bone-warming” in-frared heat.

The Health Secret is in theCopper

EdenPURE®’s engineers havetaken the original concept throughrevolutionary changes. Eden-FLOW™ technology uses copperheating chambers to take the energyprovided by our special SyLVaNIainfrared bulbs and distribute our fa-

Never be cold again

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man with all the an-swers. However, as Richard Karn I still look for money saving andefficient heating in my home. I have an EdenPURE® Infrared PortableHeater in my California home and like millions of others found it to bea super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long.

We live in an area which is known for very cold winters. Our facility is near-ly 7000 square feet in area. When we began to utilize the first unit we wereamazed to see how even the heat was for the entire living room area. Weordered a second and a third unit which now warms the entire home. Muchto our surprise we are saving over $250 a month and had the lowest ex-pense for heating we have ever experienced here. I would heartily recom-mend your products to anybody who is interested in really nice, even heatin their home and also interested in saving on their utility expenses.

Enclosed you will find printouts of our electric bill and gas/heat-ing/cooking bills for 2007 - 2008. Our gas company, AmeriGas, stat-ed that more money was saved than would show up because of thecost going up. We would turn the gas on early in the morning andturn it down to 60 degrees; We would use the EdenPURE® heatersfrom then on and they provided such warmth and cozy heat. Many ofour friends have informedme recently that they are going to purchasethese heaters for their homes this winter.

West Bath resident brings lacrosse to BahamasBy Michael Hoffer

Most Americans visiting the Bahamas take the opportunity to relax at the beach and get away from the real world.

West Bath resident and North Yarmouth Academy senior Eliott Wellenbach did just the opposite this summer.

He gave.Gave as in helping create a

co-ed lacrosse camp for island residents unfamiliar with the sport and gave as in donating equip-ment to help make it all possible.

Wellenbach, 17, with the help of his older sister, Lilly, a former NYA standout, now playing soc-cer and lacrosse at Williams Col-lege, spent part of August in the Bahamas, teaching the sport of lacrosse to local children on the island of Eleuthera.

“It was a great experience,” El-iott Wellenbach said. “I’m really glad I went down there.”

Wellenbach came late to la-crosse, picking it up in the eighth grade. He swung up to varsity his freshman year and played as a sophomore. His junior season was one of frustration, as he missed 11 games with three separate injuries. The Panthers made it to the Class B Final for the second straight season and again lost to Falmouth, but Wellenbach couldn’t truly enjoy it.

His inspiration for the camp came when he spent the fall of 2011 studying at the Island School, where he discovered the paucity of athletic options for local kids. He then set out to do something about it.

“When I got back, I e-mailed the school offering to help with camps in the summer,” Wellen-bach said. “They said I could run my own camp. They said the kids haven’t heard about lacrosse, but those who had been introduced to it, love it. If we could get the gear, it was a good option. I started collecting sticks and gear. I got 27 sticks from friends and family. Everyone has extra sticks. We got T-shirts made. I brought piping and nets down. It was my thing from the start to the finish. When people think of the Bahamas, they think of the sun and beach, but it’s not like that at all. It’s not as impoverished as many other islands in the Carribean, but it’s lower income. Not highly privi-leged children. They don’t have access to equipment. Lacrosse equipment is expensive.”

The camp had a solid turnout of 23 kids with nearly a 50-50 breakdown of males and females. While the target age was 10 to 14, there were a few younger children

month.

(including a six-year-old) who took part.

It proved to be a learning ex-perience.

“It was interesting at first,” said Wellenbach. “They never had organized sports. After the first day, my sister and I knew we had to rework the camp and lay down some rules. There were 23 of them and two of us. Lilly and I did everything on our own. My Mom watched. We did warmup laps and stretching. By the end, it was great. People were having fun, smiling. They picked it up fast. We worked on fundamentals the first couple days. At the end of the day, we’d scrimmage. At the beginning, it was a disaster. Kids would pick up balls with their hands. The last day, we had a scrimmage and people were cradling, shooting, scoring.”

The camp was a hit with the local kids.

“The head of the middle school drove some kids home each day and she said the kids couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved it and what a great time they were having,” Wellenbach said. “We donated everything to the school when we were done. Three kids who had a little experi-ence were our junior counselors. At the end, they got sticks. Their

eyes lit up. That made me really happy.”

For Wellenbach, it proved to be a fulfilling and educational experience.

“What I got was that I thought I’d be teaching them, but I didn’t think what I would learn,” Wellen-bach said. “They helped me learn. I scheduled for months exactly what we’d do. When it came down to it, you had to learn to go with the flow. You couldn’t rely on the schedule. Sometimes you have to break plans and allow it to happen. At first, I thought I’d

just do a camp. When I got going, I learned there was much more to it than meets the eye.”

Wellenbach, who currently plays soccer at NYA and will be the manager of the boys’ hockey squad this winter, is in the col-lege selection process. One part of his future he is sure of is that he plans to return to the Bahamas next summer to renew the camp.

“I want to do it again,” Wellen-bach said. “We were invited back and told the camp was a big suc-cess. I’ll bring more counselors next time. People see me with Is-

land School shirts on and it brings up the topic of the camp. People want to help out. People like the idea of incorporating athletics to that part of the world. One guy who works on a boat offered to bring stuff over.

“I know I’m doing it next year. I’d like to keep it growing for years to come. I’d like to see it grow into a lacrosse team on the island that has permanent coach-es. That’s way in the future. Now it’s just building it up.”

Good times continue for local teams(Ed. Note: For the complete

Yarmouth-Cape Elizabeth boys’ soccer and Freeport-Greely girls’ soccer game stories, please visit theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

The first full week of the fall sports season is now behind us and not surprisingly, local athletes have made strong initial state-ments.

Here’s a glimpse:Boys’ soccer

Defending Class B state cham-pion Falmouth entered Tuesday’s showdown at rival Greely (please see theforecaster.net for game story) with a 3-0 record follow-ing romps last week over visiting North Yarmouth Academy (8-0) and host Poland (7-0). Luke Velas had four goals against the Pan-thers. In the win over the Knights, Cooper Lycan and J.P. White both scored twice. After playing at Greely, the Yachtsmen are idle until next Tuesday when they go to Freeport.

Yarmouth has turned it on. The Clippers tied NYA, 2-2, in their first outing, but got into the win column last Wednesday with a 4-0 home win over Lake Region.

NYA’s Hannah Austin runs toward a third-place finish at last weekend’s

meet at Twin Brook, which also included Greely, Poland and York.

The Rangers came in first as a team.

Yarmouth ousthot the Lakers, 41-0, as David Clemmer, Ben Decker, David Murphy and Thomas Sul-livan all scored. Saturday, the Clippers hosted Cape Elizabeth and scored four times (more than they had in any game against the Capers this century), surrender-ing just one. Murphy opened the scoring with a goal off a short corner. Just 82 seconds after Cape Elizabeth drew even, Adam LaB-rie scored to put Yarmouth ahead

to stay. Second half goals from LaBrie and Sullivan accounted for the 4-1 final.

“I was happy with the inten-sity and effort,” said Clippers coach Mike Hagerty. “It was a great game. How you respond is important. Communication is so

big in this sport. When these kids talk, they’re really good. When we don’t, we’re not good. I thought we talked really well. Our effort was terrific. I think we went 15, 16 deep and it didn’t feel like there was a dropoff.”

Yarmouth returns to the pitch Thursday at York, then visits Cape Elizabeth Saturday. The Clippers return home Tuesday to face Poland.

“I think we can be a lot better,” said LaBrie. “We have to keep going. This shows what we can do. There’s a lot we can do better.”

“We’re a young team that will get better as the season goes along,” said Sullivan. “We had a slow start, but we play with a chip on our shoulders.”

Freeport evened its record at 1-1 last Thursday with a 2-1 vic-tory at Lake Region. Saturday, the Falcons settled for a 1-1 home tie versus Fryeburg. Parker Matheson had the goal. Monday, against visiting Greely in a makeup game, Freeport fell to 1-2-1 with a 2-0 loss. The Falcons go to Gray-New Gloucester Thursday and visit Class C champion Waynflete Sat-

Yarmouth bounces backFreeport, Greely now 2-0

(Ed. Note: For the complete Yarmouth-Poland game story, with additional photos and a box score, please visit the-forecaster.net)

By Michael Hoffer

All is right with the world again as far as the Yarmouth football team is concerned.

The two-time Class C state champion Clippers, who lost, 33-7, at Oak Hill last week, snapping their 24-game win streak, played their home opener Friday against Poland.

The teams had never met, but Yarmouth quickly made a statement, driving 64

home win over Poland Friday.

yards on 13 plays, chewing up 6 minutes, 31 seconds in the process and taking a 6-0 lead on quarterback Brady Neujahr’s 9-yard run.

A 43-yard TD run by Thomas Lord and a 5-yard TD scamper by Matt Woodbury stretched the lead to 18-0 by halftime. The Knights answered at the start of the third period with a touchdown drive to cut the deficit to 18-8, but Matt Klepinger broke free for an 80-yard TD run and freshman Ryan Nason passed 33 yards to Rhys Eddy for a score to make it 31-

8. Poland got within 31-18 in the fourth quarter, but a 34-yard Neujahr run put it away as the Clippers prevailed, 38-18.

“It was devastating last week,” said Neujahr. “I hadn’t lost since sixth grade. It was tough. This week, we came out strong, changed the tone in practice and worked hard.”

“Last Saturday was a huge wakeup call,” Lord said. “I think we needed it, to be honest. We knew we had to turn it around.”

“It’s a lot better than last week,” Yarmouth first-year coach Chris Pingitore said. “That was a life lesson. You’ll fail sometimes, but what you do to follow up makes your character. I told the guys that the first loss would take a lot of pressure off them. We had a good week of practice. The kids pulled through and dug down deep. Tonight, as opposed to last week, we had an answer every time (Poland) got in the end zone. I think that’s the true character of this team. They worked hard and they wanted it. They paid attention to detail and did the little things. That adds up to where we’ve been the past couple years and where we could be this year if we keep it up. Tremendous effort.”

Yarmouth finished with 500 yards of offense.

Klepinger gained 110 yards with a score on nine carries. Lord had 106

yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and caught three passes for 85 yards. Woodbury gained 29 yards and scored one TD on 11 attempts. Neujahr wound up gaining 90 yards and scoring twice on eight rushes. He completed 4-of-9 passes for 102 yards.

Yarmouth hopes to get over the .500 mark when it visits 2-0 Maranacook Friday. The teams last met in the 2010 Western C quarterfinals (a 54-6 Clippers victory).

“None of these teams are slouches,” said Pingitore. “We have our work cut out for us. I think everybody’s gunning for us. We’re definitely a target. It’s a chal-lenge, but that challenge makes it fun. We have to work hard as coaches and players work harder.”

The Clippers appear on their way back.

“A new season started tonight,” Lord said. “We still need to work on the little things. Work on hitting the holes hard, working on defense, tackling, taking care of the ball.

Freeport started 2-0 with a 49-0 home victory over Sacopee. The Falcons, who eked out an 18-14 triumph at Boothbay in their opener, led 22-0 after one period and 43-0 at halftime. Jared Polley and Joe Nixon each ran for two touchdowns. James Purdy threw two TD passes (one

to Evan Bertrand and one to Cameron Buthlay) and Eli Fox completed a scoring pass to Jake Perry.

“It was a good team effort,” said Fal-cons coach Rob Grover. “We were up 22-0 midway through the first quarter. I put the JVs in with four minutes to go in the first half. We had 23 carries for 221 yards, eight sacks and held them to 54 yards for the game. Dan Burke had 10 tackles.”

Freeport looks to go 3-0 when it plays at 2-0 Traip (which hasn’t surrendered a point) Saturday afternoon. Last year, the Falcons lost in Kittery, 7-0.

“It will be a very big challenge,” said Grover. “If we can their big runner (former Falcon Corey Aldecoa) at bay, we have a shot. They bring the house. He’s one of the top running backs in the league. They’re already firing on all cyl-inders. We played very well against them last year, but we have to go back to them. It’s earlier this year too.”

In Western B, Greely made it two straight Friday with a 54-0 home win over Lake Region, in a game that was stopped in the third quarter. Matt Pisini returned the opening kickoff for a touch-down and Nick Maynard caught a touch-down pass to give the Rangers, who beat Spruce Mountain, 33-7, in the opener, a quick jump.

“Lake Region didn’t have a large num-ber of players, but they played hard,” said Greely coach David Higgins. “We’ve all been through that before. A new coach and staff. A rebuilding program. That’s part of the growing pains. Our division, Class B, is very, very competitive. Num-bers play into consideration. I have the utmost respect for their coaches and kids. They played hard the whole game. We just did what we had to do.”

Greely has a showdown at 2-0 Westbrook Friday night. The Blue Blazes opened the season with a 30-0 home vic-tory over perennial powerhouse Mountain Valley and defeated defending Class B state champion Wells, 28-20, last week. Last year, in Cumberland, the Rangers beat Westbrook, 28-0.

“I’m very excited about this week,” said Higgins. “We look forward to the challenge. Westbrook is the dominant team right now. We took them a little by surprise last year. We took them of their game, which is running the ball. They’ll be ready for us. They’ve had two great games. They’re athletic and physical. We want to give them a game.”

(An audio broadcast of the Greely at Westbrook game can be heard at thefore-caster.net or mbr.org.)

Falmouth, which lost at Gray-New Gloucester, 22-14, in its first game, dropped to 0-2 after losing, 18-0, to visit-ing Spruce Mountain.

The Yachtsmen hope to get in the win column Friday when they go to 2-0 Marshwood, which is coming off a victory at Mountain Valley. Last year, Falmouth beat the visiting Hawks, 33-14.

urday. Tuesday, they host Falmouth.

In Western A, Greely took a 3-0 record into Tuesday’s home game with Falmouth after beating host Freeport in a makeup contest Monday, 2-0. Mitchel Donovan and Ted Hart scored goals. The Rangers hadn’t played since Aug. 31. Greely is home with Poland Thursday, goes to York Saturday and visits Fryeburg Tuesday.

In Western C, NYA bounced back from an 8-0 loss at Falmouth with an 8-0 vic-tory at Wells. D.J. Nicholas had four goals, while Eliott Wellenbach added a pair. The Panthers were at A.R. Gould Tuesday, host rival Waynflete Thursday (see theforecaster.net for game story), visit Fryeburg Saturday and play host to Wells Wednesday of next week.

Girls’ soccerGreely’s girls’ soccer team opened in

style last Tuesday with a 3-1 home win over Freeport. The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute on junior Allie Morrill’s goal. They held that advantage into the half, thanks to standout play from senior goal-keeper Caton Beaulieu. Early in the second half, the Mitiguy sisters made their pres-ence felt as freshman Jocelyn and senior

Julia both struck in a seven minute span and even though the Falcons eventually got on the board, Greely went on to a 3-1 victory.

“All things considered, it was a good start,” said Greely coach Michael Kennedy. “First games are always hard. Especially with a young team. It took them a little while to settle down in the first half. Once they did, they moved the ball around. I was happy with the ball movement. I wasn’t as much concerned with the score as with how we played. I thought we played really well. We attacked well. We defended re-ally well. We did all the components of the game well.”

The Rangers returned to action Tuesday at home against two-time defending Class B champion Falmouth (please see the-forecaster.net for game story). Greely is at Poland Thursday and goes to York Saturday. Tuesday of next week, the Rangers return home to meet Fryeburg.

Freeport got a goal from Necole Harrison and strong goalie play from Aubrey Pennell (13 saves) in its loss to Greely, which was the Falcons’ first game.

“It was a great game,” said Freeport coach Elayna Girardin. “I was really happy with how the girls played. We had about 10 minutes in the second half where we let down and lost our shape. That ultimately

hurt us. It’s getting the girls to play 80 minutes. Greely is one of the top teams. Freeport is still trying to gain their confi-dence and knowing we can play with them. In the beginning, we were nervous. Once we settled down, we did a better job and got chances to goal. It’s something to build on. This was a tough game to start with.”

The Falcons got in the win column Saturday, 3-0, over visiting Lake Region. Jocelyn Davee, Alyssa Richardson and Julia Smith scored. After a trip to Fryeburg Tues-day, Freeport hosts Gray-New Gloucester Thursday and Waynflete Saturday and visits Falmouth Tuesday.

Yarmouth dropped to 1-2 last week after losses at Lake Region (2-1) and Cape Eliza-beth (2-0). Sara Myers had the goal versus the Lakers. Yarmouth is at York Thursday and hosts Cape Elizabeth Saturday.

Two-time defending Class B champion Falmouth improved to 3-0 with shutout wins at NYA (5-0) and at home over Poland (2-0) last week. In the win over the Panthers, Caitlin Bucksbaum, Cassie Darrow, Mary Catherine Kowalsky, Tyler Spence and Julia Spugnardi all scored. Bucksbaum and Taylor Russell had goals against the Knights.

Saving green by being green

Three simple fixes to help save money and winterize around the house

There are numerous, simple projects at homeowners' fingertips that can conserve energy in a home and keep money in the bank. Although win-dows, doors and siding are the biggest opportunities to conserve energy and reduce costs, not every project has to be a major one. When it comes to im-proving energy efficiency, every little bit helps. Using the right products helps to ensure that projects are done correctly and withstand the test of time. Below are a few easy weekend projects to get any house ready for the winter.

Garage doors are usually the single largest entry point into a home and are rarely insulated, leaving a large area where air can seep in. Rubber thresh-olds, found at any hardware store, can be easily and quickly installed under-neath the garage door to help keep the cold at bay. Since most garage doors are aluminum, it is best to use a two-part epoxy like Gorilla Epoxy to secure these two different materi-als together. Epoxy fills any surface gaps, creating a lasting, water-resistant bond. The pressure and weight of the door then helps seal the garage when

the door is closed. A similar type of seal can be made with a rubber gasket on exterior doors as well. By creating a tighter seal on this entry door, cold air is prevented from getting in and the warm air from getting out.

When the weather dips below freezing, there is a good chance that copper pipes will freeze. This is a potentially messy and costly issue that can be easily prevented. While it might be harder to get to the pipes behind the walls, exposed pipes in the basement can be wrapped without difficulty. Flex-ible foam with a split-sleeve, purchased from any hardware store, will slip right over the pipes and can be easily secured with Gorilla Tape. This heavy duty tape contains twice the adhesive as most duct tapes and outperforms standard duct tape in these tough situations. Either wrap tape around the insu-lating foam or run the entire length to seal the seam. Even areas where freezing does not pose a threat can benefit by keeping the pipes a more consistent temperature, and preventing costly drywall leaks caused by pipe condensation.

Attics, even when insulated, are a major source of lost heat. However, most homeowners forget to complete their insulation project by insulating the access door to the attic. For this project, it is best to use rigid foam insulation with a radiant barrier. Cut the insulation board to the door's dimensions. (It is best to cut the piece a tad smaller than the door's exact size to ensure that it does not interfere with hinges or where the door seats into place.) Once cut, affix the insulation board using polyurethane glue.

All of these winterizing projects are easy, quick, and can be completed within a weekend. Armed with a few supplies from the local hardware store, energy and heat savings are just a few moments away.

Sealing access doors like those in your garage is a simple project that can make a difference in heat retention.

Did you know?Though ceiling fans are most associ-

ated with warm-weather seasons, most can be effective throughout the winter months as well, helping circulate warm air throughout a room in much the same way they circulate cool air during the warmer weather. Most of today’s fans have a switch near the motor housing that alters the direction in which the fan’s blades turn. When a ceiling fan is used in the summer, its blades push the air downward, moving cool air around

the room. The air blowing around the room is what cools people within the room. When the blades’ direction is altered, the blades then push the air upward toward the ceiling. This drives the hot air, which typically rises to the top, down toward the edges of the room. This helps circulate warm air throughout a room, making for more even heating. What’s more, this improved heat circu-lation helps combat window sweating that results from condensation on the glass when hot air is not effectively circulated throughout a home.

“We don't have a schedule right now for any type of deadline, but eventually that may need to happen,” Poore said. “We haven't had that conversation yet because there has been so much else that Mr. Woods has wanted to talk about with the council and the individual councilors.”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

the Western Maine BBQ Festival in Frye-burg and the Mainely Grillin’ & Chillin’ State BBQ Competition in Eliot, formely known as the Celebrate Maine Festival.

All food at Buck’s is made in house, from scratch, the Caisses said, from their now retail-ready dry rubs to their salad dressings.

The husband-and-wife team owned a cafe and bakery before they switched over to barbecue. Alex Caisse began barbecu-ing while catering for the Portland Yacht Club, and bought a tow-behind smoker to test recipes before opening the first Buck’s

location in 2005 in a friend’s old Route 1 garage, about a mile south of the current Buck’s in Freeport.

“People used to wait in their cars in the winter because the restaurant was so cold,” Wendy Caisse said, noting that you could almost see outside through the cracks in the walls. “And, people used to be drip-ping sweat in the summer time because it was so hot.”

They eventually moved into the cur-rent 8,800-square-foot space near Exit 20 of Interstate 295 and then opened their Windham location in 2010.

Alex Caisse said the relationship he and his wife have is one key to their success.

“We play off each other,” he said. “It’s a great balance. My wife is my best and worst critic. You always need somebody to bounce something off of.”

He said they also credit their success to their staff, some of whom have worked for them for almost a decade. They hope to add 50 more employees in the Old Port.

Above all, he said, they owe their suc-cess to one thing: the pig.

“Praise the lard, truly,” Caisse said. “It’s done a whole bunch for us.”

Gruber praised the church for providing a space to help those in need, but noted that the new location will make access easier, have more space, and – thanks to refrigeration and freezers – will be able to expand the pantry’s offerings.

Gruber said he and Town Manager Bill Shane approached the church board about

the matter, and that the group agreed with the plan to move the pantry “to a loca-tion that could be more supportive.”

The new site was formerly two empty garage bays. Gruber noted that despite being based at Town Hall, the pantry will be a community effort, with several area churches involved. Volunteers are sought for jobs such as serving clients, stocking

shelves, shopping, and picking up food.With the added space and access in-

creasing the user-friendly nature of the pantry, Gruber said he is confident that the facility will attract more demand and more donations of food.

The new pantry will follow a model similar to the Falmouth Food Pantry, which has helped the Cumberland ver-sion become established. Along with those two towns, the pantry will service

North Yarmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport and Gray.

“Anybody that can make it there,” Gruber said.

Those who lack the time to be involved directly can supply the pantry with food or monetary donations. Contact Gruber at 781-4613 or [email protected] for more information.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

SeniorLivingThe Forecaster offers you the best opportunity to reach this large market.

Cumberland County District Attorney Stephanie Anderson of their intentions before arraignments scheduled for last month.

The Spencers and their lawyers this week did not respond to questions about the case, which stems from a June 16 party at the Spencers’ home.

The party was billed as a chem-free celebration of championships won by the Falmouth High School boys lacrosse and baseball teams, but the indictments list nine teens between the ages of 15 and

18 who allegedly consumed or possessed alcohol at the party. Six of the nine teens were under the age of 18.

In June, Falmouth Police Lt. John Kilbride said officers first responded to an anonymous tip about the party around 10:30 p.m. on June 16. Kilbride said Barry Spencer assured Sgt. George Savidge at the time the party was a chem-free celebration.

After Savidge left, Officer Luke Hal-lett stopped a car nearby and discovered teens who had been drinking. The teens allegedly told Hallett they had been at the Spencer home, so Savidge, Hallett and

Officer Dennis Ryder returned to the home to investigate.

At the time, and again this week, Kilbride was graphic in describing a party with as many as 100 teenagers present, in various stages of sobriety. Some screamed obscenities at police or fled into the woods behind the home.

“Officers had to deal with a pretty difficult scene and they were concerned about the drug use, the alcohol use and the vast amount of vomit they were seeing,” Kilbride said in June.

At least three juveniles were charged at the scene with alcohol-related offenses, and Kilbride said this week that it was challenging to build the case against the

Spencers for hosting the party.“Party scenes are very difficult to man-

age to extract all the evidence you’d like to get,” Kilbride said. “You make sure the ones who need treatment get treated and the ones that are trying to get behind the wheel don’t, and then you work back-wards.”

The cases against the Spencers will be heard together, with a dispositional con-ference scheduled for Nov. 28. Lawyers will present motions Dec. 18, and a trial is expected to begin sometime around Jan. 28, 2013.Amber Cronin contributed to this report. David Harry can

turnout.Selectman Mark Girard, who voted

against putting the question to voters in November, said he was conflicted about the date. While he noted the significance of the question and importance of voter turnout, Girard said that there are many issues concerning the implications of the withdrawal process about which the public is not informed.

The focus in the next two months on the national elections, he said, “is not nec-essarily going to afford the instructional

time or the exploration time that this issue deserves.”

He pointed out that the SAD 51 board’s pending decision on whether to close North Yarmouth Memorial School – rec-ommended by a task force as a means of saving the district money – would also be looming around the time of a November withdrawal vote.

The school decision would have “a dramatic effect on not only the basis for the withdrawal, but the mechanics of a final settlement of the withdrawal,” Girard

said. “And I’m concerned that that creates another very severe distraction and uncer-tainties in the process around this vote.”

Were he in favor of withdrawal, he would want to undergo that process after closure of the school, he said.

That school “is the only asset of the ... school district in the town of North Yarmouth,” Girard said. “The disposition of that asset is a key item in terms of its role in the negotiating process.”

Verrill said last November that as a church deacon, and a selectman from 2008-2011, he has seen many people struggle to pay their property taxes. He has said he hopes leaving SAD 51

will significantly reduce property taxes, improve the quality of education while reducing the cost, and preserve North Yarmouth’s rural character by curbing growth.

The Board of Selectmen also voted unanimously to allocate $100,000 toward the withdrawal committee’s expenditures, if the referendum question passes; that expenditure will be mentioned in the language of the question. Administrative Assistant Marnie Diffin said those funds would be in the town’s fiscal 2014 budget.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Encyclopediafrom page 4

“At the state archives, I realized a lot of information for the state was out of reach by most people,” he said.

Henderson also had friends in politics and government who began scanning documents of the political platforms for the Maine Republican and Democratic Parties for the last century.

“Earlier ones were at the State Law Li-brary,” Henderson said. “I tried to scan as many as I could.”

The website, which was designed by Wendy Clark of Freeport, organizes articles

by alphabetical order on a sidebar and categories on a page-top navigation bar that includes history, government, society, economy, ecology and recreation.

Henderson said he decided to transfer his encyclopedia to an online format because he believes the information should be easy to access by the general public.

“It may reduce the frustration of Googling something and getting a million responses,” the selectman said.

With that said, Henderson advised that “it’s not the universe of information,” though it’s a good starting point for research.

With the information online now, Hen-derson said he hopes observant readers will

point out mistakes and provide corrections in the articles’ feedback sections.

In at least one case, that has already hap-pened.

Referring to an article on Benedict Ar-nold’s expedition through Maine, a reader corrected the name of one of the islands the treasonous American Revolution general passed on the trail to conquer Quebec.

Two days later Henderson amended the error and responded with “thanks aplenty. Help like yours definitely improves the project!”

Henderson said the project has never been about making money, but he does hope to recoup the “incredibly ridiculous amount

of time” he has spent on the encyclopedia with targeted advertising on the website.

In the past year and a half alone, Hender-son said, he spent 3-4 hours a day reformat-ting all of the information for the website.

“I would like to mitigate some of the personal time I’ve invested,” he said.

With a little over 1,000 views since it was launched in August, Henderson said he’s made $2.74 so far from the website.

But that’s not stopping him from doing more work. He said he will update the site at least on a weekly basis.
