FREEPORT — U.S. Sen.-elect Angus King said Wednesday a decision is coming soon on which party he’ll caucus with when he arrives in the U.S. Senate in January.

But the independent former governor warned that his mem-bership in a party caucus isn’t an automatic vote for that party and against the other.

“Some kind of caucus deci-sion will be necessary,” he said at a news conference. “Once that decision is made, it doesn’t mean I’ll be locked into one side and the opponent of the other side. I want to continue to build bridges.”

King spoke in Freeport the morning after winning the race for Maine’s open U.S. Senate seat with a majority of the vote, besting his Republican and Demo-cratic rivals, Secretary of State

Charlie Summers and state Sen. Cynthia Dill. With 95 percent of precincts reporting, King had won 53 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for Summers and 13 percent for Dill.

Linscott unseats De Angelis in S. PortlandBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — The only contested election in the city produced an upset Tuesday when political novice Melissa Linscott defeated incumbent City Councilor Rosemarie De Angelis in District 3.

Linscott won 7,144 to 5,514, on the heels of an endorsement from Councilor Maxine Beecher and Election Day support from Councilors Jerry Jalbert and Alan Livingston at the polls.

“I feel great. It was a pretty decisive win, and it had been a tough, uphill battle going against Rosemarie,” Linscott said.

Pingree posts 2-1 victory margin in 1st Congressional DistrictBy Seth KoenigBangor Daily News

PORTLAND — Incumbent U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, declared vic-tory in her 1st Congressional District race against Republican Jon Courtney on Tues-day night just before 10 p.m.

“Clearly the voters have said to me, ‘We’ve all worked hard over the last four years, there’s still more work to do,’” Pingree told a room full of applauding supporters at Portland’s Bayside Bowl. “I hope my colleagues all over the country are getting the same message I did: That we have to fight for jobs, to fight for the working people, to fight for health care for everybody, to have the courage to talk about climate change, make sure we’re there to fight for equality for all people ... and to put our country back on the right track.”

Pingree held nearly 66 percent of the vote with three-quarters of the district’s 168 precincts reporting at about 1 a.m.

Courtney claimed 844 of the first 899 votes reported in his home York County on his way to a spry start. However, Pingree battled back, claiming 3,605 of the next 5,771 reported in Maine’s southernmost county.

She also dominated in the state’s most populous county, Cumberland, with 69 percent of the vote to 31 percent, after 84 percent of the precincts in that county had reported.

Courtney, of the York County town of Sanford, said he “thoroughly enjoyed going around the district ... and listening to the people on Main Street. It’s been a terrific honor, nobody owes me anything. I had the greatest summer of my life meeting the people of Maine.”

Courtney, speaking earlier in the day, said if he were to lose the race, “the only person I have to blame is myself.”

“(If I lose it’s because) I wasn’t a good enough candidate to sell the message, be-cause I think the message is good enough,” he said. “The message of getting people together, the message of getting Congress to work together, the message of taking on a $16 trillion debt and not kicking it down the hall.”

Courtney spent his Election Day visiting polling places in the 1st District.

After a relatively quiet weekend, Pingree

Troy r. BenneTT / BDnU.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree declares victory in Portland on Tuesday night, Nov. 6.

campaigned Monday and Tuesday with Maine Senate District 6 candidate Jim Boyle in Scarborough. She also met voters Monday at Becky’s Diner in Portland.

Pingree, of North Haven, won her third two-year term representing the southern-most of Maine’s two congressional districts. In 2008, she defeated Republican Charlie Summers, now Maine’s secretary of state and a candidate this year to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe. Two years ago, she defeated Republican Dean Scontras to win her first re-election bid.

Prior to winning the 1st District seat in 2008, Pingree lost a 2002 challenge against

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins for the Republican incumbent’s U.S. Senate seat. This was Courtney’s first campaign for federal office.

Pingree had a huge lead in campaign fundraising. The candidates’ most recent Federal Election Commission financial disclosures showed that Pingree raised more than $989,000 to Courtney’s almost $122,000 through Oct. 17. Other than a $50.80 contribution to Pingree from a group that raised money to support the re-election of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who lost in his district’s Democratic primary, the 1st District race attracted no outside money.

Millett dominates in Maine Senate District 7 electionBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — Former School Board member Rebecca Millett defeated Michael Wallace by a 2-1 margin in the state Senate District 7 election on Tuesday.

Democrat Millett easily defeated her Republican opponent, 12,606 to 6,751, for the seat that represents Cape Eliza-beth, South Portland and a portion of Scarborough.

“I’m thrilled to be elected as the District 7 senator,” Millett said. “It’s just been really a wonderful experience meeting all those people I met during my campaign and having fabulous conversa-tions. Everyone’s so warm and welcom-ing and willing to share thoughts about our district and Maine.”

The difference for her campaign, she said, was that voters wanted someone that would reject Gov. Paul LePage’s agenda.

“I think from my conversations with people, they were very concerned with some of the extreme policies of LePage and his administration,” she said. “They wanted to elect someone who will ask tough questions and make sure whatever Augusta does, it will be in the interests of citizens and not some extreme ideology.”

Millett said her first focus in office will be on the economy.

“I think the economy is slowly im-proving, but I would love to find a way to continue to help Maine’s economy improve; I know we’ve been lagging behind some of the other Northeastern states,” she said, noting that she would like to see voter approved bonds withheld by the LePage administration issued. “I think they will infuse some much needed job growth into Maine’s economy.”

Millett is the third senator for the dis-trict in two years. State Sen. Cynthia Dill, D-Cape Elizabeth, won a special election in the district in May, vacated the seat mid-term to run for U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe’s open seat, and eventually lost that election to former Gov. Angus King Tuesday night.

South Portland resident Wallace, a Ron

Paul delegate at the Republican National Convention, said he decided early not to fixate on the results of the election and to focus on running the campaign.

“I’m really appreciative to get the op-portunity to run,” he said. “The Repub-lican party in South Portland has been a real asset, supporting a candidate like me who is liberal on social issues, but conservative on the economy.”

His loss reflects the sentiment of the state and the nation, Wallace said.

“The Republican party chose to hitch itself to social issues, not the economy, and didn’t do as much as they could have,” he said, noting that Republicans across the country did not appeal to people emotionally. “The Republicans chose a generic set of candidates. We need candidates who have stories, even if they’re personal ones, that they can share. Candidates need to be comfortable talking about things they struggle with.”Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

Boyle loses Scarborough, but wins Senate District 6By David Harry

SCARBOROUGH — Republican Ruth Summers enjoyed solid hometown support in her bid for election in Maine Senate District 6.

But besides the western section of Scarborough, the district includes a por-tion of Westbrook and all of Gorham, and Democrat James Boyle built a lead in those areas that proved insurmountable on Elec-tion Day.

Boyle won the race to replace Demo-cratic Sen. Phil Bartlett, 11,729 to 9,496.

Both candidates were making their first runs for elected office in a contest that drew considerable outside interest and political action committee money.

“Ruth ran a good race,” Boyle said. “She and I spoke several times during the cam-paign, and I know that both of us would prefer to keep politics positive in District 6.”

Bartlett was unable to run for a fifth con-

secutive term because of state term limits laws, and his support helped, Boyle said.

“He was a real mentor to me, so I have some sense of what to expect after talking with him,” said the Gorham resident, who is an environmental consultant for businesses.

Summers, the wife of Maine Secretary of State and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Charlie Summers, won Scarborough by 382 votes, 4,624 to 4,242. But the rest of the district favored Boyle, 7,587 to 4,862.

Although the district seat stayed in Dem-ocratic hands and the state Senate returned to a Democratic majority, Boyle said he plans to set aside partisan politics.

“I know what I told voters about why I ran for Senate: I’m frustrated with partisan gridlock, and I’m a small business owner accustomed to collaborating, “ he said. “That’s what I plan to do.”David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @DavidHarry8.

District 121: Rematch goes to Monaghan-Derrig

CAPE ELIZABETH — After nar-rowly winning a special election last year, incumbent state Rep. Kim Monaghan-Derrig, D-Cape Elizabeth, was re-elected Tuesday, defeating Republican Nancy Thompson in House District 121.

Monaghan-Derrig beat Thompson 3,022 to 2,329, in the district that covers part of Cape Elizabeth.

Monaghan-Derrig will serve her first full two-year term after beating Thomp-son last year to take the seat vacated when Democratic Sen. Cynthia Dill won a special election in state Senate District 7.

“I’m very happy to have been re-elected and will do my best to represent the interests of Cape Elizabeth residents,” Monaghan-Derrig said. “I’m happy the town of Cape Elizabeth has approved of my brief service and have decided to vote me back in.”

Monaghan-Derrig attributes her victory to her incumbency and communication with voters.

“I answer my emails and phone calls and I vote the way most Cape Elizabeth residents would want me to vote,” she

District 122: Morrison wins 3rd term in S. Portland

District 123: Hamann to succeed Eberle

SOUTH PORTLAND — Scott Ha-mann, the South Portland Democrat who had support from retiring Rep. Jane Eberle, D-South Portland, was elected Tuesday in Maine House District 123.

Hamann, with 2,431 votes, won a three-way race against Republican Ken-neth Myrick and independent Roger Bishop. Myrick had 1,574 and Bishop 932 in the district comprised of the center of South Portland and northwest portion of Cape Elizabeth.

“I feel good, very good,” Hamann said.Hamann and Bishop were making their

first runs for elected office. Bishop car-ried Cape Elizabeth with 344 votes to 285 for Hamann and 183 for Myrick.

Myrick ran against Eberle and lost in 2010. She could not seek a fifth, two-year term this year because of state term limits laws.

While crediting Eberle and Rep. Terry Morrison, D-South Portland, for advice on campaigning, Hamann said leg work made a difference, too.

“After spending two months walk-ing around, I had to stand (still) for the

said. “I think having more time certainly helped and serving that one term as state representative.”

Thompson said she is disappointed with the results, but thought she ran a solid campaign.

“I tried my hardest and put my best ef-fort in and I guess the best person won,” she said.

Although she said Monaghan-Derrig ran a tough race, Thompson attributed at least some of her loss to this being a presidential election year.

“I think that Cape Elizabeth was re-ally tied into presidential elections, and with so many people voting for Obama, I think moderate Republicans got twisted up,” she said.

— Will Graff

Knightville to Willard Beach, Morrison bested Republican Thomas Sarbanis and independent Chris Kessler. Morrison finished with 3,080 votes, Kessler had 1,115, and Sarbanis had 1,002 votes.

Kessler was making his second run for elective office; he ran unsuccessfully for City Council in 2009. Sarbanis, who served as an alternate delegate for Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August, was making his first campaign for elected office.

“I am doing great,” Morrison said. “I thought my opponents worked hard. Having two people running against you is harder than one.”

Morrison beat Republican Howard Farr in 2010 by about a 3-1 margin, and said his large margin of victory this year came as a big surprise. He returns to Augusta with the Democrats now holding the ma-jority in the Legislature, and as part of a Democratic sweep of legislative districts in the city.

“What I really want us to concentrate on is the economy in Maine,” Morrison said. “I mean bipartisan economic policy to help small businesses and all kinds of people have the tools they need to suc-

ceed.”With the implementation of the fed-

eral Affordable Health Care Act coming, Morrison said he wants to be part of the mandated and state-operated health-care exchange allowing consumers and busi-nesses to compare health plans.

“I am just grateful to be returning to Augusta and serving my district,” Mor-rison said.

District 124: Battle fails to defeat Kaenrath

SOUTH PORTLAND — Rep. Bryan Kaenrath, D-South Portland, said he wants to make his mark a cooperative one as he returns to Augusta.

On Tuesday, Kaenrath defeated Re-

publican challenger Kevin Battle, 2,092 to 1,870, in House District 124, which covers the western portions of the city.

It was the closest race Kaenrath has had for the seat, and came after he was defeated by Cape Elizabeth resident Re-becca Millett June 12 in the Democratic primary for Maine Senate District 7.

“In some ways, Kevin was a dream opponent. There was no acrimony, bad feelings or bad blood,” Kaenrath said.

Battle was a visible and well-known opponent in what was an affable race. On Tuesday, the candidates greeted voters side by side through the day at the Red-bank Community Center on MacArthur Circle.

“Life happens, if it was meant to be, it would have happened. Bryan was a real nice guy,” said Battle, who served almost 27 years as a South Portland police of-ficer before retiring last January.

Kaenrath said the new legislative ma-jority of Democrats will make it the first time he has served with two-party rule between the Blaine House and the Leg-islature. This is also the last consecutive term he can serve in the district because of state term limits laws.

“My one goal is to be one of those people who is willing to work across the aisle for compromise,” he said. “I want a less partisan place and a more functional place.”

Battle said he enjoyed the campaign, but has more immediate concerns with the elec-tion concluded.

District 128: Sirocki re-elected, recount possible

SCARBOROUGH — Incumbent Rep. Heather Sirocki, R-Scarborough, won a second term Tuesday in Maine House District 128, but Democratic challenger Jean-Marie Caterina said she is consider-ing seeking a recount.

Sirocki defeated Caterina, 3,029 to 2,913, in the district comprised of the western section of town from the East-ern Trail to the boundaries with Saco, Gorham and Westbrook.

District 127: Volk, Aranson headed to recount

SCARBOROUGH — Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough, said she is “cautiously optimistic” her 18-vote margin of victory Tuesday will hold up.

Volk unofficially won her second term in House District 127, defeating Demo-crat Paul Aranson, 2,441 to 2,423.

Aranson on Wednesday said he will request a recount.

“It’s the only appropriate thing,” Aran-son said. “I don’t think it’s over.”

With the margin of victory less than 2 percent of the total ballots cast in the district covering the eastern section of town, Aranson under Maine election law can ask for the recount without providing a $500 deposit.

He said about 300 ballots cast in the district showed no votes for him or Volk, and should be part of the recount.

Volk said she was surprised by the close vote because her conversations dur-ing the campaign indicated voters were pleased with her performance in Augusta.

Aranson said Republican support for Scarborough residents Ruth and Charlie

first time in a long time,” he said about greeting voters Election Day at the South Portland Community Center.

Bishop congratulated Hamann and said the campaign was enjoyable.

“I hate to use the term ‘I lost,’ he said. “I really didn’t lose because I had a won-derful experience.”

Bishop said there was little he would change about the campaign, and said Eberle’s support of Hamann helped the winner.

“I did what I wanted to do, and got some good support as an independent and as a resident of Cape Elizabeth,” he said. “I would encourage others not to sit on sidelines.”

Hamann, a video producer and market-ing consultant, said he is working on leg-islation to create better tax incentives for production companies filming in Maine.

He also said the new Democratic majority in the Legislature will benefit Mainers by preventing Gov. Paul LePage from “pushing through a conservative agenda.”

“I’ve always been involved in the com-munity, (and) consider myself approach-able. It was fun just talking to people,” he said. “I walked up to as many houses as my knees would let me, and now I have to find a job.”

— David Harry

Summers in their respective Maine and U.S. Senate races contributed to the close vote. Ruth Summers ran in Senate District 6, which does not overlap with House District 127, but Aranson noted the Summerses drew more support lo-cally than in other areas.

“I feel great, very nice. I ran a very good campaign, dealt with the issues and tried to distinguish myself,” he said.

If the results hold, Volk said her at-tempts to boost the economic fortunes of constituents and Maine families will continue, even though Democrats were returned to majority status in both houses of the Legislature.

“I just hope we can focus on creating a better business environment for families to thrive,” she said.

Holbrook re-elected; Blaise, St. Clair join Scarborough councilBy David Harry

SCARBOROUGH — The waiting may have been the hardest part, but Tuesday's elections will put four newcomers on the Town Council and School Board.

Voters also approved buying a new lad-der truck for the Fire Department.

Town Clerk Tody Justice said prob-lems with tallying votes, as opposed to voting machine malfunctions, delayed the release of election results. Unofficial results were not released until about noon Wednesday, or 16 hours after polls closed.

Once released, the results showed widespread support for incumbent Councilor Jessica Holbrook, who led all council candidates with 5,836 votes. Holbrook won her second three-year term and was joined on the council by Ed Blaise, a fiscal conservative who received 3,902 votes.

Blaise, who has served on school boards in Vermont, won the second three-year term open on the council and will replace Councilor Carol Rancourt. Ran-court could not seek re-election because

of town term limits rules.Council candidates Paul Andriulli and

Chris Coon trailed the field for the three-year seats with 3,599 votes and 3,385 votes, respectively. Andriulli was also unsuccessful in a council bid in 2011.

A third council election to fill the re-maining two years on the seat left open by former Councilor Karen D'Andrea's August resignation was won by new-comer Kate St. Clair. She defeated Bill Donovan, 4,676 to 4,602.

The School Board will welcome two new members: Donna Beeley and Chris Caiazzo, who were elected to three-year terms. Incumbent Jackie Perry, who has served at various times on the board dat-ing to 1977, was re-elected and led the

uncontested candidates with 7,827 votes.Current board members Jane Wise-

man and Robert Mitchell did not seek re-election.

Scarborough Sanitary District trustees Ben Viola and Nick Rico also won new three-year terms in uncontested races.

Voters also approved a 20-year bond to buy a new ladder truck for the Fire De-partment, 7,050 to 4,196. The purchase price is no more than $900,000; the entire debt, including principal and interest at 2 percent over the 20 years, is estimated at $1.08 million.

Justice said about 75 percent of local voters cast ballots Tuesday. By Election Day, there were almost 15,300 registered voters, with about 800 added in recent and Election Day registrations.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @DavidHarry8.

Incumbents thrive in Cape Elizabeth electionsBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — Three incum-bents all won re-election Tuesday in the five-way race for three seats on the School Board.

Incumbent Kate Williams-Hewitt re-ceived the most votes, 3,236, followed by John Christie, 2,629, and David Hillman, 2,245. Opponents Bill Gross and Michael Goulding received 1,753 and 1,477, re-spectively.

“I’m happy the three incumbents got re-elected,” Hillman said. “It’s important because we have experience to deal with problems going forward ... while preserving the quality of education in Cape Elizabeth.”

All three incumbents were elected to the board in 2009. Christie said their re-election reflects the good choices they’ve made over the last three years, particularly the hiring

of Superintendent Meredith Nadeau and their approach to the budget.

“We found excellent candidate ... and this board has worked very hard to bring trans-parency to budgeting process to present the budget in a way that is easy for the Town Council and residents to understand,” he said. “For those two reasons, primarily, in my mind, if it’s working well and some of those people are seeking re-election, there’s no reason not to let them continue.”

Christie said the main goal of the next three-year term is to implement and develop the newly devised strategic plan with the School Department administration.

Christie also said all five candidates were strong choices.

“One of the things that makes Cape Elizabeth a strong district is that we’re able

South Portland councilors say yes to solar powerBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — A new power source for one city building, new tenants for another, and initial funding for a pro-posed public works depot were approved by councilors Monday.

By a unanimous 6-0 vote, with Coun-cilor Tom Blake not in attendance, the City Council approved the creation of nonprofit SoPo Solar LLC to sell solar power gener-ated on the roof of the city Planning and Development Department at 496 Ocean St.

The panels will be installed at no cost by Portland-based Revision Energy. The com-pany will also create the nonprofit company and sell electricity to the city at 2 cents per kilowatt hour less than current market rates for the next six years.

The city has the option to buy the system for $20,000 in seven years, or continue to buy power from SoPo Solar. Corporation Counsel Sally Daggett estimated the pur-chase price is about a quarter of the market value.

The arrangement allows Revision to gain federal and state tax credits for installing the system, but the company needs to have the system operating by the end of the year to get all available tax credits, according to Revision Director of Financing Steven Hinchman.

Solar power conversions were first dis-cussed at an Aug. 27 council workshop, where councilors wanted to determine fu-ture plans for the Planning Office property, and which buildings were best suited for the power purchase agreements.

The office was once the Hamlin School. Gailey said it looks as though city gov-ernment would have to continue use the building and grounds for the next eight to 10 years. A study by Criterium Engineers found the roof in good enough shape for installation of panels and not likely in need of extensive repairs in the next decade.

In other business:• A three-year lease allowing the South

Portland Land Trust use of an unused build-ing in Mill Creek Park, near the Veterans

Green, was approved for $1 annually. The building formerly housed the Maine Mili-tary Museum, which moved in 2011.

“We are really excited about the prospect of having a home, in part to meet and have a presence in the community,” land trust President Carter Scott said.

The city will also expand parking at the area next spring to accommodate the trust and visitors to the adjacent Service Monu-ment dedicated to South Portland military veterans.

• With Councilors Alan Livingston and Rosemarie De Angelis opposed, a reserve account of $500,000 from previously un-designated surplus was established to offset future costs for a new public works facility tentatively planned for Highland Avenue.

The facility could cost more than $20 million in principal and interest on a 20-year bond voters could consider in the November 2013 elections.

The case for Citizens UnitedMany people have denounced the U.S. Supreme

Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. But the ruling makes a fair amount of sense in theory.

In Citizens United, the court held that organizations like corporations and labor unions have a right of free speech that in-cludes political speech, campaign ads, and electioneering com-munications, as well as the money that funds that speech.

The court reasoned that speech is essential to democracy. People need information to make meaningful choices. Speech – communica-tion in all its forms – is the way that people share information, become knowledgeable, and decide which politicians and policies to support and which to oppose.

It takes money to get the word out. Effective communication requires money. So that money is essential to speech and speech can be regulated, controlled and restricted by regulating money. Gov-ernment regulation of political speech is suspect because government has a bias in favor of perpetu-ating itself and its policies, and against those who challenge them.

All speakers, whether they be individuals or organizations, are entitled to use the money that they make to fund the speech that they want. The possibility that money can be used to corrupt gov-ernment as opposed to communicate is not a reason to regulate corporate speech, because there is no evidence that corporate money corrupts any more than any other type of money.

In our free-market economy, some people have more money than others. The amount of money that a person has is no guarantee that they are smart or that what they have to say is wise or that the political opinions that they express are popular.

Yet that money gives them the wherewithal to pro-mote their political views more than those of others who are less wealthy.

It may seem undemocratic that some people have more ability to speak than others. But it is inevi-table in a free society, because people are different. If they are free, then some will have more ability to speak than others. Because of their celebrity, their ideas, their eloquence, their charisma – or their money.

In this regard, there is little difference between wealthy people and corporations. Indeed, some people – small business owners and sole propri-etors, for example – are synonymous with corpora-tions, such as S corporations. Beyond that, some people and corporations have more money than others and that money gives them more ability to speak politically.

Arguably, publicly owned corporations are more democratic than wealthy individuals when it comes to political speech. Corporations are economic democracies. They are owned by people. Stock-holders can, if they have the votes, influence a corporation’s policy, including its communication policy. That’s more democratic than some wealthy individuals’ political communication policy.

Corporations have a long association with our country. Stock companies were instrumental in its creation. They provided the capital for colo-nists. They allowed merchants and more regular people to do what previously only monarchs could. These days, there are even non-profit corporations primarily devoted to politics, called social welfare organizations.

In a democracy, ultimately, the people govern themselves by making choices in the marketplace of ideas, between candidates in campaigns, and at the polls on Election Day. In that process, govern-ment control of speech is suspect, and more speech is better than less speech, even if it comes from corporations.

Please, leaf me aloneAs a nice girl from northern New Jersey who, until

a shocking act of rebellion at the onset of her college career, spelled her nickname with a “y,” there is no way I can allow anything other than Hurricane Sandy to be the basis of this week’s musings.

“Sandy’s Destruction.”“Sandy leaves devastation and heartache in her path.”“Getting back on your

financial feet after Sandy.”Combine these headline

with private messages from a myriad of men I have known, expressing such sweet sentiments as, “Well of course the storm of the century would have your name on it!” and “You’re ruining my sailing vacation down in South Carolina” and my ego has taken quite a beating this past week.

Now I know how all of the women named Irene felt. Or Katrina.

Not that I’m whining. I feel awful about the entire thing. I mean, we didn’t even lose power here in our little coastal Maine commu-nity. Considering the fact that we generally lose power when someone spits on one of the electrical wires in our neighborhood, this is nothing short of a miracle of religious proportion.

The photos of the destruction in my home state, and the images of the nearly destroyed seaside towns where I spent many of my childhood, teenage and college-age vacations, make my heart ache. I empathize deeply with my fellow Garden Staters, whose memories of rides on the Seaside Heights roller-coaster are the only things that remain, now that the roller-coaster has been washed into the sea.

The photos of the piers torn to pieces and amuse-ment park rides half-submerged in salt water are eerie and make me feel the way I felt the first time I saw the movie “Planet of the Apes,” with the Statue of Liberty in pieces on the shore.

Clearly, the destruction of the icons that represent our “identities” in the broader sense can touch us deeply and shake us at our very core.

I was actually in New Jersey and New York City the weekend before the arrival of the storm. I literally hopped into my car as the wind was beginning to kick up and half an hour into my trip northward, drizzle started hitting the windshield.

I felt like the reverse of one of those kooky “storm-chaser” people – and was happy to be running away from it. Especially since my name had been stamped on it.

As the car radio spewed reports of the approaching hurricane, there were people with the XY chromosome combination wearing hearing protection devices and using noisy, gas-powered machines to blow autumnal leaves into neat piles.

Perhaps their earplugs were preventing them from be-

Undecided? UnbelievableIf you are reading this in The Forecaster print

newspaper, everything has been decided, unless of course the Obama-Romney race was too close to call and is at this very moment being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, in which case Romney wins.

If you are reading it online, it may be Election Day or the day before, in which case never mind.

I am writing this column five days before the elec-tion. I suppose I could have voted by now, but I am not a big fan of early voting. I’m also not a big fan of unde-cided voters. Allow me to explain.

It used to be that you needed a darn good reason to vote by absentee ballot, but these days close to half the electorate in some places vote before Election Day. I took absentee ballots to my daughter in college and to my father in a nurs-ing home, but I did not take one out for myself. In fact, when I returned my daughter’s ballot to Town Hall, I could have voted on the spot. A conference room had been set up as an early voting place. But I prefer to line up with everyone else on Election Day.

There is very little likelihood anything will hap-pen in the final few days to change my vote this time, but back in 2010, realizing that Democrat Libby Mitchell’s gubernatorial campaign had tanked and independent Eliot Cutler was surging, I changed my mind at the last minute and voted for Cutler in hopes of sparing Maine the wrath and reign of Paul Lepage. LePage’s slim margin of victory in 2010 could have been erased if so many moderates and liberals hadn’t voted early.

I did, however, give serious thought to voting early this year, because there were no prospects of triangulating my vote. I was Obama, Angus, Chellie, Woodbury, Cooper and Yes on 1 all the way. On the other hand, seeing people voting a week ahead of time, it did occur to me that my votes would be lost if somehow I couldn’t get to the polls on Nov. 6.

What if I were called out of town on an emer-

gency? What if I got sick or injured? What if I died? (Note to Maine Republican Party: The dead can vote if they vote early enough. Maybe your next voter suppression effort should be to invalidate absentee ballots if voters die before Election Day.)

There was a lot of loose talk the week before the election about the Maine GOP sending poll watch-ers to strategic polling places – college towns, im-migrant communities – to challenge same-day voter registrations in an attempt to intimidate voters. I’m hoping and assuming that didn’t happen.

There have only been two documented cases of voter fraud in Maine in the past 40 years. This is America, Jim-Bob, Land of the Frickin’ Free. We should be encouraging people to vote, not trying to prevent them from voting. Personally, I believe anyone who is living in America on Election Day should be allowed to vote whether they are Ameri-can citizens or not. But hey, that’s just me.

Which brings me to my beef with undecided vot-ers.

Undecided? How ignorant or uninformed do you have to be not to have made your mind up between Obama and Romney a week, a month, even a year before Election Day? The differences between the two men are not subtle. It’s like deciding between climbing a mountain and jumping off a cliff.

Undecided? What late-breaking news, what straw that broke the camel’s back, what wild fabrication or slip of the tongue might persuade a weak-minded voter to change his/her vote at the last minute? Obama’s father was really a Commie radical and not an African Muslim after all? Romney really does wear magic Mormon underwear and believes Jesus arrived on Earth in a rocket ship? What info, Dear Undecided Voter, was missing?

The fact that Obama and Romney were essentially battling right up until the end for the 10 percent of voters who were undecided forces me to conclude that, no matter who wins or may already have won, the fate of this nation is now decided by nincom-poops.

ing aware that there were 100-mph winds en route that would soon be blowing their leaves from New Jersey to Michigan.

Now, I am not a meteorologist, nor am I a profes-sional landscaper, but my initial thoughts upon seeing these leaf-blowing men were, first, you would never see a woman using a leaf-blower on the brink of the

scheduled arrival of a hurricane. And second, these men are either incredibly stupid, or they are swindlers with suburban clients who are equally stupid for allowing them to blow the leaves off of their lawns on the brink of the scheduled arrival of a hurricane.

Is it just me, or is there something inherently wrong with this scenario?

As I said, I made it back to our home in Maine just in time, and am so very grateful that we were spared any destruction. Of course, my leaves are still on my lawn, and I’m sure a few of my neighbors would like to see me develop an unhealthy addiction to a leaf-blower. Or a rake.

But I’m afraid even my namesake “superstorm” and its ensuing headlines aren’t capable of making me feel quite that much guilt.

Marion G. Hawkins, 92: Enjoyed connecting with nature

SOUTH PORTLAND — Marion G. Hawkins, 92, died Nov. 3 at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough.

Hawkins was born Feb. 9, 1920 in Gorham, N.H., the daughter of Abigail and Harold Shorey. She attended Keene State Teachers College. On Dec. 24, 1942, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., she mar-ried Benjamin Hawkins. They enjoyed 55 years together, beginning their family in Gorham, N.H., and then relocating permanently to South Portland.

Hawkins devoted her life to her chil-dren, grandchildren and great-grandchil-dren. She always had a freshly baked batch of brownies on hand to share hap-pily with family and friends.

She loved the outdoors, long walks, bike riding and reading. One of her favorite things to do was going for her daily ride to Bug Light with her daughter, Peggy. She also walked frequently from her home on Harborview Avenue to Mill Creek and beyond. She enjoyed flower gardening and picking strawberries and blueberries as well.

She was predeceased by her husband, Benjamin Hawkins; her sister, Margaret Barber; and her son, Harold Hawkins.

Hawkins is survived by her son, Phil-lip Hawkins and wife, Lena, of Buxton; daughter Peggy Hawkins-Simpson and husband, Thomas, of South Portland; her sister, Alice Manter, of Binghamton, N.Y.; three grandchildren, Christian Hawkins and his wife, Rebecca, of Northampton, Mass., Pamela Kuczkows-ki and her husband, Ryan, of Sanbornton, N.H., and Kelly Hawkins, of South Port-land; six great-grandchildren, Marissa Pabón, of South Portland, Noah, Caleb and Simon Kuczkowski, of Sanbornton, N.H., and Hazelle and Hans Hawkins, of Northampton, Mass.; and many wonder-ful nieces and nephews.

The family thanks the staff at the Gos-nell Memorial Hospice House.

A graveside funeral will be held at 12 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9, at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Cottage Road, South Portland. A celebration of Hawkins' life will follow from 1-4 p.m. at the Elizabeth Hobbs Hospitality Center, 230 Cottage Road, South Portland.

Arrangements are under the guidance of Hobbs Funeral Home, South Portland.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Hawkins' name to the South Portland Public Library, 482 Broadway, South Portland, ME 04106, or to the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House, 180 U.S. Route 1, Scarborough, ME 04074.

to attract strong candidates,” he said. “It shows that the process is healthy.”

Goulding congratulated the winners and said, although he lost his first campaign, it wasn’t a disappointment.

“Maybe it’s not what I had hoped, but it’s what I expected with the three incumbents,” he said. “If I got 100 votes, I would have been disappointed, but to get 1,400, being in the town four years, I’m quite tickled and pleased and thankful to the people of Cape Elizabeth for getting as many votes as I got.”

Goulding said he’ll “absolutely” run for office again in the future.

“I knew from day one it was a tough sled,” he said. “The trick is to get your name out their the first time. ... I’m looking forward to working more with schools and the town now and next time it will be better, a lot better.”

Williams-Hewitt and Gross did not immediately return calls as of Thursday morning.

Town CouncilNo write-in candidates challenged the

three uncontested Town Council candidates, who included incumbent Councilors Jessica Sullivan and Jim Walsh, and Jamie Wagner, who lost his first bid for a seat in 2010.

Sullivan and Walsh were both elected to the council in 2009.

Sullivan chairs the Appointments Com-

mittee and represents the council on the Open Space and Greenbelt Management committee, the Future Open Space Pres-ervation committee, and is on the Thomas Memorial Library Foundation board.

Walsh is chairman of the Ordinance Committee and is the council’s represen-tative to the Greater Portland Council of Governments. Previously, Walsh spent six years on the Zoning Board of Appeals.

King said he received congratulatory calls from and intends to meet this week with retiring U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe and Sen. Susan Collins, who will be Maine’s senior senator.

He said he also received a congratula-tory call from Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader. King said he hasn’t yet heard from national Republican leaders or Maine Gov. Paul LePage.

King will travel to Washington, D.C., this weekend for an orientation as a new mem-ber of Congress. One of his first steps, he said, will be to reach out to fellow former governors in the Senate, including Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine of Virginia, Tom Carper of Delaware and Lamar Alexander of Ten-nessee.

“Former governors tend to be more bipartisan,” he said. “They also tend to be action-oriented.”

And King said he’s holding out hope that senators can start to overcome the gridlock that’s characterized the chamber in recent years.

“There’s a general realization that if we’re going to solve the public’s problems, we’ve got to get over this idea of party,” he said.

King’s remarks followed a hard-fought race punctuated by an influx of nearly $7.4 million that poured into Maine’s Senate race from outside groups hoping to sway the election.

King and his challengers Tuesday night all discussed the influence of outside spend-ing. Republican-leaning groups poured in a majority of the funds, $4.24 million, in an effort to peel away support from King and create an opening for Summers.

But an influx of spending on King’s behalf followed. That barrage of spending from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the non-profit group Ameri-cans Elect kept the race from getting closer, Summers said Tuesday night in Portland after conceding victory.

The Republican’s campaign “didn’t have the resources to counteract” that advertis-ing, Summers said.

Despite the outside advertising, Sum-mers said his campaign stuck to its original game plan.

“I’m very proud of the campaign,” he said. “I wouldn’t change a thing. I think we worked incredibly hard and really were able to take a campaign that nobody paid any attention to, to something that really became a hotly contested race.”

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which didn’t endorse Demo-cratic nominee Dill, became the biggest outside spender in Maine’s Senate race.

The group poured $1.49 million into ads attacking Summers.

“When I look at the polls, they’re the same from beginning to end,” Dill said Tuesday night before voting at Cape Eliza-beth High School. “At the end of the day, I don’t think it’s money that makes or breaks a campaign.”

As for his future, Summers said Tuesday night he would consider another term as secretary of state – a position elected by the Legislature – but said that before it was clear that Democrats had recaptured control of both legislative chambers.

“It’s just what it is,” he said of his loss. “You dust yourself off and you move on.”

Summers lost three previous bids to represent Maine’s 1st District in the U.S. House.

In the immediate aftermath of the race, Dill said she needed to tend to family busi-ness, but wouldn’t rule out another run for office.

“I don’t know exactly what’s next,” she said. “I really feel passionate about service. It’s the journey that counts. It’s not the final destination.”

While Maine’s 2012 Senate race was expensive and hotly contested, spending by the candidates for Maine’s open U.S. Sen-ate seat fell well short of candidate spend-ing in Maine’s last Senate race, in 2008.

That year, when U.S. Sen. Susan Col-lins was facing a challenge from former Democratic U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, candidate spending totaled $14.3 million.

Four years later, the candidates to replace Olympia Snowe had spent $5.3 million through mid-October.

Library bondfrom page 1

a new library to replace the Thomas Me-morial Library building, which is beset by mold, lack of space, code violations and limits on handicapped access.

Director Jay Scherma said the library will now have to go back to the town to discuss renovations, although he was unsure how it will address some of the immediate problems.

“I had hoped we made our case, but obviously something has to be done; the problems will not go away and they are very real,” he said. “The next step will be up to the Town Council and the citizens.”

Scherma said library projects are always difficult to pass, pointing to recent failed initiatives for libraries in Falmouth and Scarborough.

The charter change, which was spurred by a Town Council discussion about ap-proving the library bond without a public vote, requires any single capital expenditure that exceeds $1 million to automatically trigger a public referendum.

Funding packages that exceed $1 mil-lion, but are made up of multiple projects that individually total less than $1 million, will not be subject to referendums under the amendment.

Under the existing charter, the council could approve spending for any project, no matter the size, and residents had to petition the council for a referendum to appeal the spending.

The change does not apply to state and federally mandated projects, or any im-provements required due to fire or other catastrophes.

Scarborough girls win epic state finalBy Michael Hoffer

You can call them Desti-ny’s Darlings or a team for the ages, but whatever you call the Scarborough girls’ soccer team, make sure it includes the words state champions.

Scarborough won its second Class A championship in three seasons Saturday afternoon in Bangor, but the way the Red Storm captured another Gold Ball was inspirational and breathtak-ing.

Two years ago, the last time Scarborough won it all, it allowed a single goal in 18 games and that came on a penalty kick. The Red Storm capped that year’s run with a 3-0 win over Bangor in the state final, winning Class A for the first time in the process.

After getting back to the state game, but losing to the Rams, 4-0, in 2011, this year’s group, led by a talented and driven senior class, was bound and determined to settle for nothing short a title.

Scarborough would get to the mountaintop, but was it ever chal-lenging.

The Red Storm won its first seven games, not surrendering a goal until the seventh win. After falling from the unbeaten ranks Sept. 27, 1-0, at Thornton Acad-emy, Scarborough rallied for a 1-1 home tie with Windham two days later. Then, the Red Storm ran the table, finishing the regular

year with five straight wins, by a composite 27-0 margin, to finish 12-1-1 and third in the Western Class A Heal Points standings.

After a 3-1 home win over No. 6 Sanford in the quarterfinals, Scarborough avenged its lone loss with a decisive 3-0 victory at No. 2 Thornton Academy in the semi-finals and eked out a 1-0 home win over No. 4 Cape Elizabeth (please see story) in the regional final last Wednesday.

That set up Scarborough-Ban-gor, Act III.

After a pair of one-sided state games, this one was exhilarating as the two best Class A girls’ teams in the state produced a nearly 97-minute passion play.

Neither team scored in the first half, but there was plenty of ac-tion.

“The first 10 minutes or so, we had chances, but (senior) Sarah (Martens, more on her in a mo-ment) was getting beaten up in the box,” Scarborough coach Mike Farley said. “I was afraid we wouldn’t have her the whole

Ornstein’s heroics lead Red Storm to pinnacleBy Michael Hoffer

It was every soccer player’s dream come to life.

Times three.Scarborough senior Dan Orn-

stein and his teammates left no doubt that they were finest team in Class A Saturday morning, as Ornstein struck for three goals, all in the first half, helping the Red Storm capture the Class A state championship for the fourth time since 2005 and giving the school its ninth overall title.

Scarborough was on a mission all season after falling to eventual champion Windham in last year’s Western A Final.

After a 12-0-2 regular season (the ties came against South Portland and Gorham), the Red Storm finished a narrow second to Gorham in the final Heal Points standings.

Scarborough had no trouble with 10th-ranked Portland, win-ning, 3-0, in the quarterfinals, then edged No. 3 Greely, 2-1, on a late goal in the semifinals.

Last Wednesday, the Red Storm

went to No. 1 Gorham for the programs’ seventh all-time play-off meeting. Scarborough beat the Rams for the sixth time in the postseason, but it sure didn’t come easily.

The Red Storm survived consis-tent Gorham pressure in the first half and kept the game scoreless thanks to a breathtaking play by senior Kevin Dryzga, who alertly got to a ball that appeared goal-bound and kicked it off the post and out.

“(The play) was on the other end and (the coaches) were like, ‘Did that just happen?’” said Scarborough coach Mark Diaz.

The Red Storm got the game’s lone goal when junior Sam Ceka-da scored with 21:41 remaining. Scarborough’s defense and junior goalkeeper Pat Stanton slammed the door from there and the Red Storm survived, 1-0.

“It was tight the whole way,” Diaz said. “One team was going to get a break. Cekada got it and he finished.”

That sent Scarborough to

Hampden for a 10 a.m. start Saturday against Mt. Ararat in the state game. Twice before, the teams met in the state final and both times the games went to penalty kicks before a winner was decided. In 2003, the Eagles won the PK round, 4-2, and the game, 1-0. Two years later, the Red Storm turned the tide, prevailing, 1-0, 4-2 on PKs.

This time, the first goal came 88 seconds in, courtesy Ornstein, who used some neat footwork, dribbling from left to right at the top of the penalty area before shooting a well-placed, low shot back against the grain into the net to the right of Mt. Ararat goalie Gabe Pelletier.

“We went in hoping to crush them,” said Ornstein. “That’s what our attitude was. The first goal pumped me up a little bit and gave us confidence we were better. Since it was 90 seconds in, I was thinking maybe I could put more in. Our intensity was better than theirs. We passed the ball like we did all year.”

“You hope to start a game like that,” Diaz said. “You try to get to a point where the kids know what you want so they don’t need a lot of coaching. The seniors just took over. It looked like we picked up energy-wise where we left off (against Gorham). The confidence boost of beating a team as good as Gorham at their place made us feel like getting up in the morning, driving to Hampden and beating a team as good as Mt. Ararat.”

Ornstein extended the lead to 2-0 in the 10th minute by alertly following his initial shot. Pelletier raced off his line to make a great save on Ornstein’s break-in off a pass from senior Austin Downing, but Ornstein tracked the rebound to the left side of the penalty area, wheeled and curled a shot over Pelletier and into the net off the shoulder of an Eagle defender who had hustled back to try to help out his stranded goalkeeper.

“To score six minutes later, that defines this group,” said Diaz. “It was never enough. They were just relentless. That’s one of my

favorite things about this group.”The backbreaking third goal

was set up by Cekada, who ma-neuvered around a defender on the right flank and sent a low cross into the penalty area where Ornstein extended his leg and di-rected it into the near post corner with just 12.5 seconds to go in the half, making it 3-0 and essentially delivering the dagger.

“I wasn’t expecting a hat trick,” said Ornstein. “I was just hoping to score.”

“It didn’t surprise us (Dan) had a game like that,” said Diaz. “It was just his day. Dan blew out his knee last winter. He was cleared to play when we started preseason in August. He didn’t play in any preseason games. He played sparingly early. He was great in the playoffs last year. At the end of the season, you could see him starting to dominate. Everything in practice the last couple weeks was on net.”

Scarborough entered the second half wary, knowing Mt. Ararat was

game. It was 10-minute bursts of momentum.”

Bangor struck first just 74 sec-onds into the second half when Libby Huber scored, but before Scarborough had time to dwell on its deficit and perhaps tighten up, the Red Storm drew even, thanks to a heads-up play from senior Jess Meader, who was in the right place at the right time to bang home a rebound of sophomore Sam Sparda’s free kick in the 45th minute.

“There weren’t many opportu-

nities, but luckily Jess got one,” said Martens. “If there was more time in-between, it probably wouldn’t have gone our way. That kept our hopes up and kept us from getting frantic.”

“I was going to let it go for a short time, then make an adjust-ment and push forward to get a goal,” Farley said. “It was great Jess got the goal then. It let us stay comfortable.”

Late in regulation, Scarborough junior goalkeeper Sydney Mar-tin made the save of her life to keep her team’s hopes alive, fully extending to knock away Alli Boulier’s curling left-footed strike headed for the upper far corner.

“I read her foot at first,” said Martin. “I knew she was going to put it to my right, so I gave it my

Cape Elizabeth drops regional final heartbreakerBy Michael Hoffer

A season that began with almost no fanfare ended with the Cape Elizabeth girls’ soccer team one goal shy of a trip to the state championship game.

The Capers were a semifinalist in 2011, losing to Scarborough in double overtime, but few realized just how special this year’s version could be and when Cape Elizabeth lost at home, 2-1, to defending Class B champion Falmouth in the opener, there was even more cause for doubt.

That doubt was unfounded and it would be exactly two months before the Capers lost again.

Cape Elizabeth got better by the day, riding a team approach and the finish-ing heroics of young budding stars like sophomore Kathryn Clark and freshmen Kate Breed and Katherine Briggs.

The Capers won eight games in a row, by a composite 25-1 margin, and after settling for a 0-0 home tie versus Greely, completed the regular season with four more victories, by a 14-2 margin.

Cape Elizabeth split with eventual Class B champion Falmouth, beat and tied Greely, swept Yarmouth and York and defeated eventual Class C champion Waynflete along the way.

As the No. 4 seed for the Western A

tournament, the Capers held off upset-minded No. 13 South Portland in the preliminary round, 2-1, then eliminated fifth-ranked Greely in surprisingly easy fashion, 3-0, in the quarterfinals. Cape Elizabeth had to go to penalty kicks to edge top-ranked Windham in the semifinals, 2-1 (6-4), then went to No. 3 Scarborough, the two-time defending regional champion, last Wednesday for its first regional final appearance since 2000.

The game marked the third year in a row that the teams met in the playoffs and the seventh time overall, dating back to 1986. The Red Storm would wind up winning for the third time in the postsea-son series, but it wasn’t easy.

The game was scoreless until there were just under 16 minutes to go and the

Red Storm got a goal from senior Sarah Martens. The Capers had some chances during the game, but couldn’t finish and their season ended with a 1-0 loss.

“The girls were a little nervous to start with,” said Cape Elizabeth coach Luke Krawczyk. “The first 25 minutes of the second half were all us. Their keeper made a nice save on Kathryn and then they scored. The final 10 minutes were all us again. It got a little rough at the end.

“Compared to last year, we played them well and could have beaten them. Most people didn’t think we could beat them. They had one shot in the second half. It was a goal. In retrospect, we did really well.”

Cape Elizabeth wound up 15-2-1, its best record since 1999 (16-1-1), the year of its last state title.

“I’m really happy with the girls and how the program has developed,” said Krawczyk. “I enjoyed the season. We were more balanced. The girls really came together as a team. It’s a nice town with great people.”

The Capers will lose six seniors, Court-ney Guerette, Erin Lyons, Talley Perkins, Maddy Riker, Emily Spidle and Jenna Wallace, but return an abundance of contributors, suggesting they’ll be much more highly regarded at the start of the 2013 campaign and capable of going all the way.

“We’re losing three or four starters, but we had four freshmen on the field in the regional final,” Krawczyk said. “I’m looking forward to next year. The good news is a lot of the kids are doing some form of soccer through the winter and spring. This year we wanted to get farther than last year. Hopefully we’ll go one step further next year.”Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

Scarborough’s playoff run ends at TABy Michael Hoffer

For the second time in three seasons, the Scarborough football team reached the Western Class A semifinals, but could go no further.

This time, the Thornton Academy Golden Trojans proved to be too tough, defeating the Red Storm, 49-14, to set up a regional final showdown at two-time defending Class A state champion Cheverus Saturday, the final that every-one expected all along.

Scarborough did its best to prevent that from happening.

After a solid 6-2 regular season, the Red Storm earned the No. 3 ranking in Western Class A and pulled away from

from standout Andrew Libby and a long touchdown pass from Eric Christensen to Cody Lynn.

By halftime, the Thornton Academy lead was 42-7, thanks to two short Chris-tensen TD runs. The Golden Trojans added another score in the third period. A

No. 6 Sanford in the quarterfinals, 42-16.That sent Scarborough to No. 2 Thorn-

ton Academy Saturday afternoon. The teams met in the regular season (Sept. 29, in Saco) and the Golden Trojans won, 35-7, in a game that was closer than the final score indicated.

This time around, Thornton Academy put the game away by the end of the first period.

After the hosts scored early, the Red Storm tied it, 7-7, on a long touchdown pass from Dillon Russo (who ran and threw for over 250 yards) to Merrick Madden, but by the end of the quarter, the Golden Trojans had a commanding 26-7 lead, thanks to a couple TD runs

1-yard TD run from Scarborough’s Dan LeClair in the fourth quarter accounted for the 49-14 final score.

The Red Storm finished 7-3, its second best record ever in Class A.Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

best shot. I’ve always dreamed about mak-ing a save in the upper-90 (top corner).”

“That was the best save she’s made all season,” said Meader.

Early in the first 15-minute, “sudden victory” overtime, Bangor nearly won it on two occasions.

On the opening kickoff, Grace MacLean found some room in the middle but side-volleyed a thigh-high cross from Jordan Seekins wide of the near post. Just a minute later, an unattended Boulier sailed a low cross from Ally Vanidestine over the cross-bar from seven yards out.

“My heart stopped for a second,” said Martin (seven saves).

“I tried to pump them up going into over-time, but right out of the gate, Bangor was all over us,” said Farley. “They had some great chances. They could have ended the game. Luckily, we got through it.”

Early in the second OT, Scarborough ended it.

Meader fed a through ball to Martens, who already had scored playoff game-winners versus Sanford, Thornton Academy and Cape Elizabeth. Martens had slipped between defenders and broke in alone on Bangor goalie Cordelia Stewart before

converting with her left foot.“I turned around and saw [Martens] make

a diagonal run,” said Meader. “We’ve had a real good connection.”

“I was just playing, I was so tired,” said Martens, whose goal was her sixth in the playoffs and school-record 20th of the sea-son. “I was very nervous when (Bangor) had chances, but we eventually kept the ball up top and that made me feel better. (Penalty kicks) were going through my head. The other girls were thinking about them too. I’m confident about PKs. We’ve taken them in practice, but you never know. I knew it would feel so much better if we won in overtime. Jess made a great pass, got it through to me. I just looked up, saw where the goalie was and tried to put it in. I was hoping I hit it well.”

“She was celebrating when it came off her foot,” Farley said. “She was running around with her hands in the air like she was trying to bring rain. At the beginning of the year, I thought Jess would be the player to slash and get in behind and score goals and Sarah would be the playmaker. It’s almost like they reversed roles in the playoffs. Jess barreled down and got loose balls and sent nice passes to Sarah, who’s a pure finisher. She’s so good technically. She had a game winner in every playoff game. She makes the most of her chances.

I’m really happy for her. The past couple years, I played her in the midfield. I could have put her anywhere. It’s good to see her be at forward this year. Coming out and playing varsity from freshman to senior year at Scarborough is such a hard thing to do. That says a lot about her as a person. She went out and did the role I asked her to do and did it well. She makes me look really good. Coming into the playoffs, she had 14 goals, nowhere near the school re-cord, but she had six in the playoffs and got it. That’s amazing. That’s what you write stories about.”

New state champion Scarborough 2 Bangor 1.

“I won’t forget this feeling ever,” said Martens, still sore, yet beaming in an in-terview 48 hours after the game. “I miss soccer already. It was one of the best days of my life. Fighting that long and coming out with a win felt so good. Scoring the winning goal was great, but having every-one with me was special. It wasn’t just my goal. It was the team’s goal. Everyone gave 100 percent. Seeing how hard everyone worked made me want to work that much harder. Everyone was just ecstatic. People were crying. It was such a tough game. I knew it would be a really tough game. After losing last year, we wanted it so bad. We knew (Bangor’s) a physical team and that it would be tough. Everyone was so relieved it was over. All of us seniors wanted it so bad. We didn’t want a repeat of last year. All the underclassmen wanted it for us.”

“It was more of a battle than even I was prepared for,” said Farley. “Bangor played so hard and so well, it was a great test for us. We hadn’t been tested like that all sea-son. They were winning 50-50 balls. I take my hat off to them. We were fortunate to win. They could have ended the game twice early in overtime. We stuck with it, created one chance and luckily, it fell to one of our

best players.“It was amazing. It was a big-time battle.

The first five, seven minutes of overtime, we were surviving, then we had it in their end and had chances. It was an emotional roller coaster. A drastic back and forth. It was that kind of game, the whole game. I hadn’t seen Bangor play since the sum-mertime. I think they played their best game and challenged us from start to finish. Two years ago, it felt different. There was a lot of pressure on that team after losing four years in a row in the first round. This year, the team felt like they were good and mentally strong enough to win. They were mentally stronger than any team I’ve had. I just had the feeling they’d come up with something and they did.”

Scarborough finished 16-1-1 and has won a total of 48 games (and two Gold Balls) over the past three seasons.

“We moved a lot of people around this year and new kids stepped in, so you never know how it’s going to go,” Farley said. “Even the bench players, who didn’t play a lot, gave us some of the hardest games we had in practice.”

TurnoverThe Red Storm lose some terrific, talent-

ed and obviously clutch players, 11 in all, but, as always, will be a force to be reck-oned with when the 2013 campaign begins.

This won’t be the last time Scarborough is celebrating a championship, but this group will live on school lore.

“We’re returning a lot,” said Farley. “We’ve lost 11 seniors the last three years. That’s what blows me away, kids step up and do the role as well, if not better. This is a tough group to lose. To lose this many su-perstars, it’s tough to survive. We’re always going to have good players. I’m hopeful we can do the same thing next year.”

“We talked about the first 10 minutes (of the second half) being critical,” Diaz said. “That they’d throw everything at us. We felt if we could get through the first 10, the pace would slow down a little bit. Mt. Ararat’s tough. We just got out on them so quick.”

of regulation off a long, looping through ball by junior Charlie Mader, beating the onrushing Pelletier to the ball and tapping it past him.

From there, Scarborough ran out the clock and celebrated its surprisingly easy 4-0 triumph.

“It was a good day to say the least,” Orn-stein said. “It was pretty cool. Considering the circumstances of it being a state level game between the two best teams, it’s the best game I’ve had. You could say it was a storybook ending. I’m glad to end on a good note.

“It was important to finish it off as se-niors. It’s all we talked about since school started. We were like, ‘We’re going to win states,” since day one. You have to have that attitude if you’re going to win. We were at our peak. I’m sad it’s over.”

“It feels good,” said Diaz. “Last year, I felt we had a pretty good team. We played well when we lost to Windham. We wanted to get back and close it out. I was happy for the guys. Especially my seniors. They

came in style and they went out in style. They’re not just extremely talented, they put a lot of time into soccer. They’re a special group. I’m glad they got a chance to show that Saturday. We felt we had a really good team. The question was could we be tough enough to win close games.”

One more time?Scarborough will be hard high by gradu-

ation, but this program keeps reloading and should be a force again in 2013, when the Red Storm will be on the short list of title favorites once more.

I’ve got good juniors and some good players who are freshmen and sopho-mores,” Diaz said. “It will be tough to replace the seniors. We’ll try to do that. I don’t care what anyone says, you’ve got to win four tough games to win Class A. It’s not a cakewalk. It gets tougher every year.”

Out & About

‘West Side Story’ on stage, Jerry Douglas in WestbrookBy Scott Andrews

Two much-honored acts top this week’s picks of the tix, which range from musi-cal theater to classical piano. In the first-mentioned category, a national touring company will present “West Side Story,” one of Broadway’s most honored musicals, Nov. 9-10 in Portland. First produced in 1957, “West Side Story” is one of the few shows to win a Tony, Grammy and Oscar.

Talk about Grammys? Jerry Douglas’ credits – as sideman, session player, pro-ducer and solo artist – are simply amazing. Start with 13 Grammys then add three from the Country Music Association, which has thrice honored Douglas as its Musician of the Year. Douglas and his band will be playing this Saturday in Westbrook.

A 20th-century classical masterpiece is the featured item this Friday in Gorham at the University of Southern Maine School of Music. Three outstanding pianists will perform Olivier Messiaean’s “Vingt Re-gards Sur L’Enfant-Jesus.”

‘West Side Story’Reading through the credits of the origi-

nal 1957 Broadway production of “West Side Story” is like reading the roster of an All Star game.

Start with the show’s basic concept and structure by playwright William Shake-speare, as re-imagined in modern New York City by choreographer Jerome Rob-bins. Then add a script by Arthur Laurents (who also directed), music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. All five of those guys won Tony Awards. (Of course Shakespeare’s Tony was post-humous by several centuries.)

“West Side Story” itself won three To-nys; two major Broadway revivals were staged in 1980 and 2009. It remains among the most-produced pieces of American musical theater at all levels, from profes-sional to amateur. On Friday and Saturday, a national professional touring company will present three performances in Merrill Auditorium under the aegis of Portland

Musician Jerry

Douglas, a 13-time Grammy winner, plays

Saturday in Westbrook.

Ovations.The basic plot involves the timeless,

heart-wrenching conflict between love and loyalty. In “Romeo and Juliet,” the source of the musical, the conflict is be-tween feuding factions in a city-state of Renaissance Italy; in the case of “West Side Story,” the conflict is between rival street gangs.

“Tonight” and Somewhere” are the most recognizable songs from the soaring score, while” I Feel Pretty,” “America” and “Gee, Officer Krupke” are also major numbers that brilliantly advance the plot and define character and situation. And Robbins’ an-gular, sometime anguished choreography remains another driving force behind the show’s enduring popularity.

Portland Ovations presents “West Side Story” at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall for three performances: Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Jerry DouglasThe melodic, metallic twang of the dobro

is one of the most distinctive and defining sounds of traditional country music and several of its offshoots, including some of today’s top roots artists, such as Mumford and Sons.

The man who put that characteristic twang into thousands of songs on many hundreds of recordings for more than 40 years will be playing this Saturday at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center.

Since the late 1970s, Jerry Douglas has forged a career in the music business with a four-pronged approach. As a virtuoso dobro player, he’s Nashville’s go-to guy for recording sessions, plus he’s a frequent sideman and band mate for luminaries such as bluegrass fiddler Alison Krauss and Brit-ish folk-rocker Marcus Mumford. He’s also one of Music City’s most prolific record producers, with more than a thousand songs

and albums to his credit.Of all the records Douglas has been

involved with in any capacity, his biggest-seller was “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” the soundtrack to the 2000 film of the same name. The CD sold nearly eight million copies in the U.S.

And finally Douglas fronts his own eponymous band, which recently released “Traveler,” a CD album that was recorded in New Orleans, Nashville and London.

The selections on the CD (released in June) reflect Douglas’ incredibly diverse experience in the roots music business, and it also represents a bit of stretching beyond his familiar comfort zones. “The big idea of this record is to mix in a few more cultures into the pot I’ve been stirring for years,” he comments.

A bit of background: The dobro is a spe-cialized acoustic guitar that is the immedi-ate predecessor to the ubiquitous electric guitar and the pedal steel guitar, which is a staple of traditional country music. Devel-oped in the 1930s, the dobro uses a metallic resonator cone to project a louder sound -- a function that has been largely superseded by electric guitars.

Strings are plucked or strummed with specially designed finger picks. Frequencies (notes) are defined by a steel cylinder that is moved up and down the neck in a slid-ing motion, rather than by pressing a string against a fret. The instrument’s haunting glissando effect, a complete continuum of frequencies available between the pre-defined notes, is mostly heard today on the electric pedal steel “Hawaiian” guitar.

For traditionalists, nothing beats the original dobro, which is still manufactured by a division of Gibson Guitars.

Nobody plays the dobro better than Douglas, and he’s been honored seven times by the International Bluegrass Music Asso-

ciation as its Best Instrumental Performer. He’s also an artist in residence at the Coun-try Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

Dave McLaughlin’s Heptunes presents the Jerry Douglas Band at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center, 471 Stroudwater St. (at the new middle school) at 8 p.m. Nov. 10. For advance tickets, go to heptu-nesconcerts.com.

USM School of MusicThe magnum opus of one of the most

influential French composers of the 20th century will be spotlighted on Friday at the University of Southern Maine.

Olivier Messiaen embodied a unique com-bination of mystic and musical revolutionary, and his masterpiece dates from 1944: an enormous piano cycle titled “Vingt Regards Sur L’Enfant-Jesus,” which is typically trans-lated as “Twenty Contemplations of Jesus.”

With 20 movements of challenging dif-ficulty, “Vingt Regards” is one of the most ambitious and exhausting piano works ever composed.

Generally, the work is presented on concert programs by a selection of move-ments. This Friday the entire work will be performed, with the heavy burden of perfor-mance shared by three outstanding pianists from southern Maine.

Anastasia Antonacos, a professor at the school, plus Bridget Convey and Chiharu Naruse will perform “Vingt Regards” in remembrance of the 20th anniversary of the composer’s death. Another form of interpre-tation will be added to this performance: Images will be projected to represent the story and/or meaning of each of the 20 movements.

The concert is slated for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at Corthell Concert Hall on the USM Gorham campus. Call the music box office at 780-5555.

Question 1from page 1

Paul LePage then has 10 days to certify the results. The law goes into effect 30 days after the governor certifies election results, Sanborn said.

Unofficial returns Wednesday morning showed that the historic vote on Election Day to legalize same-sex marriage was a mirror image of the vote three years ago to repeal a gay marriage law passed by the Legislature.

As of 12:35 p.m. Wednesday, the vote on Question 1 was 350,004, or 52.7 percent, in favor of allowing same-sex couples to marry in Maine and 313,958, or 47.3 percent, against. The 2009 vote was 53 percent to 47 percent in favor of the repealing gay marriage law, which never went into effect.

Mainers United for Marriage claimed victory about mid-night Tuesday. Campaign manager Matt McTighe attributed the win in part to the door-to-door work done by hundreds of staff members and volunteers.

That strategy, along with having the question on the ballot during a presidential election and the television ads featuring Maine families, turned the tide on the issue, ac-cording to Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine.

“I do think the ads talking about family members were very effective,” he said in an email. “I also think the Yes on 1 ground game was exceptional. Knocking on doors and really talking to people is almost always an effective tactic.

“Finally, the electorate is not static,” he said. “It changes a bit every election cycle, and same-sex marriage is an issue that has time on its side due to population replace-ment. Young people are simply more supportive than older people.”

Although Maine’s same-sex marriage pendulum swung back toward legalization Tuesday, only time will tell whether the new law will endure.

David Farmer, a spokesman for Mainers United for Mar-riage, said it’s possible that opponents of same-sex marriage could launch another citizen initiative to bring yet another question to voters statewide.

Carroll Conley, co-chairman of Protect Marriage Maine, the group that led the effort to defeat Question 1, said Wednesday morning in a telephone interview that he would meet with campaign staff to assess whether to launch an effort to overturn Tuesday’s outcome.

“We have to assess whether we have the people and the resources to launch an effort right away or if at all,” he said. “We need to get a feel for where we go from here.”

Any new referendum effort would have to amend the law passed Tuesday, Matt McTighe, campaign manager for the winning side, said Wednesday morning. Under Maine law, a people’s veto cannot be used to repeal a referendum question passed by voters, he said.

A referendum question could be worded to put back into the statute the wording, struck by Tuesday’s vote, which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. It also could remove the language that says Maine recognizes “a marriage of a same-sex couple that is validly licensed and certified in another jurisdiction.”

Even if opponents of Question 1 did seek to overturn it, the evidence in Maine and beyond indicates tolerance of same-sex marriage is spreading. Even opponents of same-sex marriage said they knew this day would come.

On Tuesday alone, two states other than Maine approved same-sex marriage and a third, Minnesota, rejected a bid to redefine marriage as being between one man and one woman. In Washington and Maryland on Tuesday, voters approved same-sex marriage by rejecting bids to veto laws passed by those states’ Legislatures.

In New England, same-sex marriage is allowed in Mas-sachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Vermont, and civil unions for same-sex couples are allowed in Rhode Island. Other states that permit same-sex marriage are New York, Washington and Iowa, along with Washington, D.C.

In Maine, the fight over same-sex marriage is familiar. The Legislature and Gov. John Baldacci enacted a law to allow same-sex marriage in 2009, but it was repealed later that year by a citizen-initiated veto that passed 53 percent to 47 percent – which was the same spread that Question 1 passed by on Tuesday, according to unofficial results collected by the Bangor Daily News with 94 percent of precincts reporting.

In addition, Congress repealed the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Act in 2010 – clearing the way for gays in the military – and earlier this year President Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to voice his support for same-sex marriage.

But until recent years, same-sex marriage has had a tough run. Opponents of gay marriage said that in the 32 states where voters had weighed in on the same-sex marriage issue before Tuesday, it had been rejected.

But Rick Jacobs, founder and chairman of the Courage Campaign, said Tuesday that the tide has been turning in favor of same-sex marriage since 2008, when California voters approved a measure known as Proposition 8, which amended its constitution to define marriage as being be-tween one man and one woman.

“When voters have the opportunity to really hear di-rectly from loving, committed same-sex couples and their families, they voted for fairness and the freedom to marry,” Jacobs said in a press release. “How fitting that four years after Prop. 8 awakened the nation, and the world, to the injustice of marriage for some but not for all committed couples, we have now won at the ballot box. The Supreme Court can see that America is continuing its historic march towards equality and justice for all. Those who oppose the freedom to marry for committed couples are clearly on the

wrong side of history. ... It won’t be long at all before all loving, committed couples have the freedom to marry.”

Conley said in a written statement early Wednesday morning that his campaign knew from the outset that “mar-riage was in trouble in our country.”

“The problems that have weakened this critical institution started long before this attempt to redefine it,” said Conley. “We genuinely fear for the consequences we raised during the campaign. The fact remains, marriage still needs to be strengthened and promoted for future generations.”

Although the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland was not a coalition partner with Protect Marriage Maine this year as it was in 2009, Bishop Richard J. Malone, now head of the diocese in Buffalo, N.Y., issued a statement Wednesday morning expressing disappointment in the outcome of the election.

“I am deeply disappointed that a majority of Maine vot-ers have redefined marriage from what we have understood it to be for millennia by civilizations and religions around the world,” Malone said in a statement emailed to the me-dia. “I am thankful for those who engaged in sincere and civil discourse on this matter of such serious consequence to our society.

“I am grateful to those who supported and recognize the value of marriage as the union of one man and one woman,” he continued. “I especially want to thank the Catholic faithful who did not abandon Catholic teachings on the nature of marriage.”

Last month, Malone, who continues to act as the apos-tolic administrator for the diocese, said that any Catholic who voted in favor of a referendum to allow same-sex marriage “is unfaithful to Catholic doctrine.”

Malone was critical for the group Catholics for Mar-riage Equality, which publicly supported the referendum and demonstrated Sunday in favor of Question 1 outside the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland.

The bishop in January said the diocese would not be a part of the campaign to defeat the referendum but would focus its efforts on educating Catholics about church teach-ings on the issue of marriage. In 2009, the diocese gave $500,000 to the repeal effort and lent Marc Mutty, director of public policy, to the campaign full time.

Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in Washington, D.C., said in a state-ment Tuesday night that 29 states have constitutional amendments defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

“People are sitting in those states knowing the trajectory of the country is moving in our direction and that people around the country are with us,” said Carey.

Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, also in Washington, D.C., called Maine’s vote on Tuesday “a landmark election for marriage equality.”

“As we celebrate victory tonight we know we have added momentum to ensure that this victory is soon felt in every corner of the country,” said Griffin.

Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, said in a statement Wednesday that despite the outcome of the elections in four states, Americans do not support gay marriage.

“Americans remain strongly in favor of marriage as the union of one man and one woman,” he said. “The election results reflect the political and funding advantages our op-ponents enjoyed in these [four] very liberal states.

“Though we are disappointed over these losses, we remain faithful to our mission and committed to the cause of preserving marriage as God designed it,” he continued. “Marriage is a true and just cause, and we will never abandon the field of battle just because we experienced a setback. There is much work to do, and we begin that process now.”

win, and said she sensed voters were look-ing for a fresh perspective on the council.

Beecher’s endorsement of Linscott came as the District 4 councilor prepares to leave the council because the City Charter pro-hibits her from seeking a fourth consecu-tive term.

Her replacement will be Linda Cohen, a former city clerk in the city and Portland, who ran unopposed.

Also unopposed were Board of Education incumbents Richard Matthews and Tappan Fitzgerald Jr., who won new three-year terms in District 3 and District 5, respectively.

James Gilboy also won another term representing District 4 on the School Board, even though there were no candidates on the ballot.

City Clerk Sue Mooney said Gilboy, who filed to run as a write-in candidate after he did not submit nomination papers

Counci lors and School Board mem-bers will be sworn in Dec. 3. After the oaths of office, the mayor will be selected by a council vote and School Board mem-bers will select their chairman or chairwoman. Both offices have one-year terms.

Mooney said there was heavy voter turn-out in the city: 81 percent of almost 18,000 registered voters cast ballots.

District 128from page 5

After saying she preferred to wait until results were certified, Sirocki, a dental hygienist who works in Windham, did not return a call asking for comment about her victory.

Sirocki first won the seat, previously held by Rep. Peggy Pendleton, D-Scar-borough, in 2010 by defeating Democrat and former School Board Chairman Brian Dell’Olio.

The election this year was marked by big spending by political action com-mittees. Sirocki was targeted by the Washington, D.C.,-based Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.

Caterina, owner of real estate agency, Thursday said she was still getting advice about seeking the recount.

“I am thrilled that we were able to ac-complish what we did in this district,” she said. “It was a tough race in a very conservative district.”

If the margin of victory is less than 1 percent of the total votes cast, a recount request can be made to the Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commis-sions without paying a $500 deposit, commission spokeswoman Megan San-born said.
