Harpswell’s unique bridge set to reopen on SaturdayBy Stephanie Grinnell

HARPSWELL — After more than two years, residents on Sat-urday will once again be able to traverse the one-of-a-kind crib-stone bridge connecting Bailey and Orr’s islands.

A ceremony is planned Satur-day at 11 a.m. Scheduled guest speakers include Maine Depart-ment of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Bruce Van Note, Maine Historic Preservation Commission Director Earle Shet-tleworth and Harpswell Historical Society President David Hackett.

Following the ceremony, there will be an antique car parade across the bridge, with two rows of cars meeting each other in the middle, Town Administrator Kristi Eiane said. She said town officials are seeking older resi-dents to attend the ceremony and ride in an antique car.

Pete Brown of the DOT said work began in July 2008. A temporary bridge parallel to the cribstone structure has been in place while reconstruction has progressed. Brown said about 200 large stones have been replaced and a new deck constructed at

MRRA will issue up to $24M in bonds for Brunswick base tenantsBy Stephanie Grinnell

BRUNSWICK — The Mid-coast Regional Redevelopment Authority intends to issue up to $24 million in bonds for two tenants at the redeveloped Bruns-wick Naval Air Station.

When the property is trans-ferred to MRRA from the U.S. Navy, it will be renamed Bruns-wick Landing.

MRRA Executive Director Steven Levesque said MRRA will issue tax revenue bonds that allow revenue as far back as 60 days to be captured up front, a benefit for both companies, he said.

MRRA Board Chairman Arthur Mayo said a $10 million bond is anticipated to be issued to Kestral Aviation, which plans to move to base property next month.

Levesque said Molnlycke, a medical foam manufacturer that last month announced its inten-tion to build a plant at Brunswick Landing, is seeking a bond of $9.7 million, though MRRA may go as high as $14 million. He said new market tax credits will also be used to assist the company.

Questions fail to derail Brunswick appointmentsBy Stephanie Grinnell

BRUNSWICK — Town coun-cilors Tuesday unanimously decided they will appoint five people to the police station subcommittee, despite concerns

there was inadequate public no-tice of their intent.

The subcommittee’s job is to help research potential locations for a new police station.

Several residents expressed

displeasure that there was no formal legal notice regarding the anticipated citizen positions on the ad hoc panel created by the council. Despite that, nearly a dozen applications were re-

ceived by the Monday afternoon deadline, according Chairwoman Joanne King.

Town Clerk Fran Smith said the limited application time frame was included in newspaper

Power outages close Bath schools

BATH — Power outages blamed on heavy rain and strong winds on Wednes-day forced officials to close three schools.

Regional School Unit 1 Superintendent William Shuttleworth said classes were cancelled at Dike-Newell Elementary School and the Bath Regional Career and Technical Center.

While some of Morse High School had power, Shuttleworth said, the cafeteria did not. With no way to prepare lunch, students were released at 11 a.m.

Shuttleworth said he expected classes to resume at all three schools on Thursday.

Bath-area students take MOHIBA to another dimensionBy Alex Lear

BATH — Prepare to cross into “The MOHIBA Zone.”

This year’s performance of the classic Morse High School Bazaar talent show spoofs the equally classic TV show “The Twilight Zone,” complete with its own Rod Serling-like host.

Max Rawson,

17, of Bath, rehearses

his saxophone

solo for MOHIBA at Morse’s

Montgomery Theater.

The 81st MOHIBA will be held at the high school’s Montgomery Theater, 826 High St., at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 19, and Saturday, Nov. 20. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for students and senior citizens. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

The event, one of the oldest variety shows in the country, dates back to 1927, although it did not take on the MOHIBA name until two years later, according to di-rector Kevin O’Leary. Morse only skipped the event in 1944, during World War II and at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, due to the blackouts occuring at the time, O’Leary said. The school used to hold the show twice a year, in both the spring and fall.

This year’s show will have six connect-ing skits. There are musicians, hip-hop dancers and skits by students from all four grades.

About 150 students, involving stage crew, are involved in the show, O’Leary said.

O’Leary, who teaches English and drama at Morse, returned to the show last year after a three-year hiatus with the Lanyard Theatre Company. He previously directed MOHIBA for five years.

The show, which O’Leary called “sort of ‘Leave it to Beaver’ meets Tim Bur-ton,” draws alumni from as far back as the 1920s and sells out both nights, he

said. The weekend before Thanksgiv-ing, he noted, is a good time to bring in more recent alumni who are home for the holidays.

O’Leary credits MOHIBA’s attraction to Morse being steeped in tradition, with one of the oldest alumni associations in the country.

“This place has an incredible attraction for those who have graduated,” he said. “MOHIBA is this glue that binds all the generations, all the way back.”Alex Lear can be reached at 373-9060 ext. 113 or alear@

Farrell said the group has looked at sev-eral sites owned by the town as potential dog park locations, including property expected to be received on the Brunswick Naval Air Station property and in east Brunswick. BARK is looking for about two acres.

So far, BARK has done very little fund-raising, member Sally Loving said. She said there has been a need for a dog park in Brunswick for at least 10 years and noted there could be an economic boost if the park is approved.

“I’ve received a number of letters and e-mails from outside Brunswick,” Loving said. “People come to shop in the area and said if there was a dog park, they would shop (in Brunswick). There’s even (a smart-phone) ‘app’ for finding a dog park.”

She said real estate professionals and new homeowners have expressed disap-pointment there is not an existing dog park

Brunswick dog park options to be exploredBy Stephanie Grinnell

BRUNSWICK — A majority of town councilors encouraged a citizens group to continue to research the possibility of creating a dog park.

Brunswick Area Recreation for Kanines (sic), or BARK, has been working with the Parks and Recreation Department to develop a plan for a park that would allow off-leash dogs on a piece of municipal property.

Parks and Recreation Director Thomas Farrell said there are about 2,500 licensed dogs in Brunswick and no place for them to run off-leash.

“Dog parks have become per se, part of the municipal landscape,” he said, add-ing a large number of options have been researched based on other municipally owned dog parks in the state.

Farrell said the willingness of BARK to raise funding to create and maintain the park for the first two years is an “extremely attractive” option. He said estimated costs for maintenance by Parks and Recreation staff could run between $1,000 and $2,000 per year. Most of the cost involved is re-lated to trash removal, he said.

in Brunswick.Councilor Margo Knight asked why the

dog park cannot be located at Davis Memo-rial Park, which is designated in the draft downtown master plan as a recreation area. Farrell said there are other recreational uses planned, including an expanded playground for young children, that may not be com-patible with a dog park.

“One of the other things to not under-estimate is the need for parking,” he said, adding there is sparse parking available near Davis Memorial Park.

Farrell said he also would be concerned

with restricting the use of one of the only green areas downtown.

Another area discussed for a dog park is a 66-acre parcel the town expects to receive when BNAS closes, he said. But a potential problem with the site is “re-source and habitat value,” Farrell said: there may not be enough usable property to establish anticipated recreational areas such as ball fields, a playground and a maintenance building. He said the exact location of the 66-acre parcel has not been determined.

Brunswick keeps Longfellow Avenue overnight parking banBy Stephanie Grinnell

BRUNSWICK — Town councilors on Tuesday night voted against lifting an over-night parking ban on Longfellow Avenue from Harpswell Road to Coffin Street.

The ordinance to regulate parking in the area was created in 2000 after complaints about overnight parking. It forbids street parking between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.

Earlier this year, complaints about en-forcement spurred Councilor Benet Pols to suggest lifting the ban. Originally, council-ors considered removing the ban along the entire length of Longfellow, but trimmed it to an area of upper Longfellow where there

are rarely parking issues.Longfellow Avenue resident Margaret Is-

sacson said she and her husband, residents of the street since 1976, “strongly endorse” lifting the parking ban. She said often her children’s friends gather at their house and sometimes park on the street overnight. She said there have not been problems with Bowdoin students parking overnight in the area, or “warehousing” cars on the street.

“Students tend not to walk farther than they have to,” Issacson said.

Several other residents also supported lifting the parking ban, and others spoke in favor of keeping the ban in place to prevent

problems.Resident Jill Pearlman said she spent

time counting empty parking spaces in a college lot to determine the need for street parking. Her survey showed a minimum of 18 empty parking spaces all they way up to a maximum of 27 open spaces one Sunday night.

“If you live in a college neighborhood, you are bound to run into students,” Pearl-man said. “I know Bowdoin students, they are nice. If you ask them to, they will move their cars.”

Resident Connie Lundquist said the ordi-nance was created for a reason and said it should not be changed.

“Why fix something that isn’t broken?” she asked, adding she called many neigh-bors – excluding the Issacsons – and they all said they had no need for street parking, even the neighbors in favor of lifting the parking ban.

Bowdoin Student Government President John Connolly said first-year students are not allowed to have cars on campus, but those who bring cars anyway would be more likely to park on South Street because it’s closer to campus than Longfellow.

“I would not see there would be a prob-lem with students,” Connolly said.

Councilor Ben Tucker asked Brunswick Police Cmdr. Marc Hagan if additional work has been created related to parking enforcement in the area. Hagan said it does not “affect how we do business as a police department.” He said his concern lies with the reason the ordinance was created in 2000.

Other streets where no overnight park-ing is allowed are Potter and South streets, Hagan said.

Because the parking ban was created by ordinance, there is no temporary measure or trial period that can be created, Town Manager Gary Brown said, adding there could potentially be a “sunset clause” or

Health club postpones Topsham Planning Board reviewBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Issues raised by the Maine Department of Environmental Pro-tection prompted Omega Wellness Group to pull its site plan, shoreland zoning and conditional use applications for Bowdoin Mill from Tuesday’s Planning Board agenda.

A public hearing had been scheduled on Omega’s proposal, which includes a 5,000-square-foot expansion of the Red Mill, additional parking, working within the General Development Shoreland Zone and operating a fitness facility.

New notices will be sent out to inform abutters when the hearing is rescheduled.

Town Planner Rich Roedner said Omega needs time to address DEP’s concerns regarding the group’s National Resources Protection Act application. These include explaining further how the Green Street square area will be developed and creation of secondary access; the impact on resourc-es; submitting precise resource impact data for each structure included in the proposal, and the exact length of a stream that is pro-posed to be filled.

The unoccupied Red Mill was built in recent years at 11 Bowdoin Mill. The pro-posed addition to the 35,000-square-foot building would house a swimming pool, Roedner said last week.

Omega is also proposing to fill an ap-proximately 11,000-square-foot area of

wetlands associated with the “Granny Hole,” an area between Bowdoin Mill Is-land and the old fire station on Green Street.

DEP and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval is necessary for the filling, Roed-ner said.

The group also needs a shoreland zoning

permit, since it would be operating within the shoreland zone adjacent to the Andro-scoggin River, which the town has desig-nated for general commercial operations.

The facility would be offer rehabilitation and general exercise. Omega needs a con-ditional use permit to operate what the town ordinance would classify as a health club.

Councilor Suzan Wilson suggested resi-dents on upper Longfellow Avenue contact police if they plan to have company park on the street overnight, employing the police department’s “discretionary authority” to not issue tickets.

Sleighbells ringI heard the bells on Christmas day.OK, so it wasn’t exactly Christmas day.

It was more like mid-October.I thought perhaps I had developed tin-

nitus (ringing in the ears), but no, indeed, there were bells. Silver bells. The kind Rudolph wears.

I had ventured into Home Goods to pro-cure Halloween candles. And possibly a new spider decoration or two. But what to my wondering eyes should appear but aisles overflowing with Santa figurines and snow-men and tinsel and dishtowels embroidered with gingerbread men.

What had happened to Halloween? Had I somehow missed it? Had I fallen into a time travel tunnel on my last date and been transported to an alternate universe?

Then I saw it. Much like a withering flo-ral centerpiece taking up prime space at the dinner table, Halloween had been demoted.

Moved to a lesser location, where it could bide its time while quietly awaiting a trip to the dumpster.

It irritated me to think that one of my favorite holi-days had yet to occur and was already on its way to the crematorium. Why was Christmas already stealing the spotlight?

Shortly thereafter, I found myself walking into Macy’s while chatting busily with my teenage daughter, Oph-elia. Ophelia is a creative, intelligent and sensitive child. As we entered the store, I blurted out a fabu-lous idea: “In a couple of weeks, let’s put aside a whole day and do some early Christmas shopping!”

Ophelia looked me square in my maternal eyes and said, “Why wait? We could do it

right now.”I did not give birth to

Ophelia yesterday. And I know when sarcasm is drip-ping from the corners of her artfully glossed lips. In that instant, I noticed that Macy’s was already decked out in full Christmas regalia. Bells were ringing and the scent of men’s cologne carried a hint of balsam fir.

The entire scene filled me with dismay and my faith in humankind was once again diminished.

I love Christmas. Even after having had a husband die the morning after the joyous holiday, I still love Christ-mas. I love the sights, sounds, scents and intensified feelings of love and goodwill that permeate the month of December.

But I don’t love the fact that red and green M&Ms are thrust upon us before the candy corn is barely off the shelves at CVS.

This phenomenon is not just limited to Christmas. As many of you have noticed,

Easter now begins sometime around Valen-tine’s Day, which begins before the last of the Rudolph Pez dispensers have been put on the discount shelf at Target.

Charles (or was it Harold?) asked me recently when it was that everything got decorated for Christmas when I was a kid. I told him I didn’t recall it truly arriving until Thanksgiving was over. Anticipation filled the air. At the risk of sounding like a dinosaur, I will tell you that I remember scouring the TV guide, anxious to find out when our beloved animated Christmas shows would be airing. And even though we can now, thanks to the wonders of mod-ern technology, watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” 365 days a year, my 43-year-old brother still calls, his voice overflowing with excitement as he shrieks: “Turn on the TV – it’s on at eight!”

I know Christmas doesn’t come from a box. As The Grinch pointed out, it comes from the heart. But seeing so much holiday spirit spread out everywhere for 8 to 10 weeks before the fact takes something away from the magic.

Our society seems to put a value on rushing to the next thing before we’ve even

Let’s recap, shall we?Eight years of Neo-Con Republican leadership in

Washington created a huge national deficit, embroiled the U.S. in two endless wars, and enabled credit and investment excesses that nearly destroyed the world economy. In 2008, therefore, Americans elected the progressive Barack Obama in hopes of turning the country around.

By 2010, Obama had managed to do exactly what he was elected to do — save the United States from economic collapse, in the process creating a million new jobs, reducing taxes for 95 percent of Ameri-cans, reforming financial markets to avert the excessive greed of the past, and passing sweep-ing health care reform that protects the average American family from the predatory practices of the insurance industry. All of this without any help from the GOP Party of No, which was then and is now devoted entirely to making sure that Obama is defeated in 2012. Nothing else matters to them, cer-tainly not the welfare of the American people.

Despite (and in part because of) Obama’s successes, Corporate America, aided and abetted by conservative activist justices on the Supreme Court, began spend-ing vast sums of money to convince frightened and weak-minded Americans that President Obama was some sort of radical socialist Muslim monster. A lot of misguided people came to believe this nonsense and the tea party arose as the tool of the rich in the guise of a populist uprising.

“A loose definition of the Tea Party,” wrote Matt Taibbi in the October 5 issue of Rolling Stone, “might be millions of pissed-off white people sent chasing af-ter Mexicans on Medicaid by the handful of banks and investment firms who advertise on Fox and CNBC.”

Obama’s bad fortunes seemed to turn on health care reform. He lost the enthusiasm of many who helped elect him by not fighting for a public option and he infuriated conservatives with an ill-advised provision to penalize (tax) people who did not purchase health

insurance. Other than that, Obamacare is pretty much what Republicans are now proposing.

So on November 2 we witnessed the predictable reactionary tidal wave of an off-year election as people voted with their emotions rather than their heads. Tea party Republicans swept a lot of deficit hawks into office, though the most obvious tea party nut cases lost big in New York, Nevada, and Delaware. For the time being, however, we have turned Congress back over to people who primarily represent the interests of corpora-tions.

In commonsensical Maine, we also saw control of state government turned over to the GOP, yet we were relatively immune to the hardcore hysteria of the far right. Our incumbent Democratic congressional representatives, one a very progressive liberal, the other a Blue Dog moderate, were re-elected by wide margins over a couple of conservative challengers who had little to offer other than their anger.

We also narrowly elected a conservative Republican governor, one who likely could not survive a run-off election against the second-place Independent. Since the vast majority of voters supported someone other than the winner, the idea that the governor-elect has any kind of popular mandate is bogus.

Still, a win is a win, so if the new Republican gover-nor and his newly empowered conservative confreres in the Legislature can deliver on their promise to reduce government spending without sacrificing essential ser-vices, more power to them. Since he has never offered any specifics about how he might accomplish this, it’s doubtful he can.

In his Rolling Stone article, Matt Taibbi observed that, “The average Tea Partier is sincerely against gov-ernment spending — with the exception of the money spent on them.”

If you want to see a real populist uprising, wait until LePage Surplus & Salvage tries to cut funding for educational, cultural and social programs, gut envi-ronmental regulations, and turn Maine over to private business interests. All those tea partiers receiving public pensions, VA benefits, unemployment benefits, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and MaineCare will be marching on Augusta right along with the majority of Mainers who care more about the common good than about personal gain.

Defending Maine’s mountains against wind power

The Forecaster has done an excellent job regularly in-forming its readers about the wind power debate in Maine.

I stand proudly with the courageous Mainers who have been stepping forward to stop the destructive industrial-ization of Maine’s mountains by out of state companies. Without massive taxpayer subsidies, First Wind of Mas-sachusetts and TransCanada to the north, would not be devastating Maine’s precious mountain tops and ridge lines.

These taxpayer-subsidized cor-porations are first and fore-most out to get millions of our federal tax dol-

lars. They are tearing apart Maine’s fragile mountain ecol-ogy with false promises driven by greed.

Maine is not South Dakota or the Texas plains where the wind blows hard and strong much of the time. Industrial wind is absolutely wrong for our mountains and is the wrong clean energy choice for Maine. Much of our housing stock is poorly insulated and as a result, a community based, state-wide energy efficiency project would be the very best and most cost effective way for Maine to significantly re-duce its consumption of fossil fuels. We can insulate every home and business in Maine, while creating thousands of jobs, and for a much lower cost than taxpayer subsidized industrial wind. We can then avoid the terrible environmen-tal cost of tearing up our mountains with an unneccasary and destructive industrial wind scheme. Every citizen who treasures our beautiful mountain landscape should speak up against this taxpayer-subsidized, corporate assault. Together, we can stop it. We must not devastate Maine’s mountains or any other special place in order to save it. If Mainers allow this corporate assault on our mountains to continue, we will be filled with regret for what we have lost.

We must stop industrial wind right now, invest instead in an effective energy efficiency campaign and preserve the Maine we love.

Children grow up, people age, loved ones leave us. And along the way, we get to be part of this miracle we call life.

I don’t want to hear Christmas bells in mid-October. And I don’t think we should have to. So I implore those of you trying to retain the magic of the holiday season, for your families, your children and yourselves: Stock up on earplugs.

Dog parkfrom page 3

A few area residents spoke in favor of establishing a dog park, including Harpswell resident Doug Johnson, who described a dog park in Florida.

“It’s a great place to meet people and our dog absolutely loved it,” he said, adding dog owners are considerate about cleaning up after other people’s dogs when the need arises.

MacMillan Drive resident Lori Lach said she often travels to Belfast with her dog and said she would like to see a dog park created in Brunswick.

“I really support this,” she said.Councilors asked a few questions,

but encouraged BARK and Parks and Recreation staff to continue to research possibilities for locations and funding for the dog park. Councilor Suzan Wilson suggested there may be alternatives to mu-nicipal ownership of a dog park, such as

50 people attending Tuesday’s MRRA board meeting, there were no public comments about either decision. Another public hearing will take place before the bonds are issued.

Levesque also said sale of 702 BNAS housing units was completed at the end of October to developer George Schott. The houses were purchased from Northeast Housing LLC, while the land beneath the houses is expected to be transferred to MRRA sometime next summer.

The MRRA board also voted to au-thorize Levesque to sign leases and licenses on behalf of MRRA, a request made by the Navy as the process of base closure progresses. Levesque said a license is a short-term permission and a lease is a long-term agreement for use of a building. Having licenses and lease agreements in place will allow businesses to move to Brunswick Landing before the official transfer of the buildings to MRRA.

BNAS Capt. William Fitzgerald told the MRRA there are several differences in the closure and transition taking place in Brunswick compared with other states across the country, including allow-ing a civilian authority to begin to take over lease properties before an official transfer.

“This doesn’t happen anywhere else,”

a nonprofit organization or a booster club.Councilor Debbie Atwood said as a new

dog owner, she believes “any municipality should have a facility like this.” She said after taking her own puppy to a dog park in Bath, she stayed there and spent money because it was convenient once the dog settled down from running at the park.

Council Chairman Joanne King cau-tioned other councilors about additional money spent by supporting Parks and Rec-reation staff research leading to nothing if

the council does not ultimately approve the creation of a dog park.

Councilor Benet Pols joked that the old Times Record building could be re-searched as an alternative location, while Loving commented from the audience, “We’ll take it.”

Councilors requested additional infor-mation, including alternative locations and more financial information, from BARK before they address the issue again.Stephanie Grinnell can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123

or [email protected]

Levesque said.Fitzgerald said relaxation of access to

the base Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. has worked out well so far. He said the base may be opened to the public on weekends prior to the closure.

He also updated the board on the clo-sure schedule. Many major milestones have already been reached, he said, including submission of the final envi-

ronmental impact study.The base is still on track for “op-

erational closure and disestablishment” May 31, 2011, Fitzgerald said. On June 1, the Brunswick Police and Fire depart-ments will have full jurisdiction on base property. June 4 will see the “reduction

in force” with the departure of about 140 civilian employees.

Fitzgerald said without changes in legislation, transfer of the base will take place “no later than Sept. 15” next year.Stephanie Grinnell can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123

Bowdoin fall teams have more good news

Last weekend was a very good one for Bowdoin’s athletic program.

Field hockeyThe Polar Bears field hockey

team, which has been as impressive as any in the country in recent years, advanced to the NCAA Division III semifinals Sunday behind senior co-captain Ingrid Oelschlager’s game-winning goal with 3:21 remaining in the first overtime to beat Lebanon Valley, 4-3, in the regional final. The Polar Bears improved to 18-1 and next face Skidmore College Saturday at Christopher Newport University. Oelschlager also scored earlier in the game, as did Kassey Matoin and Emily French.

The victory is the 11th straight in NCAA Tournament play for Bow-doin, who won the NCAA Division III title in both 2007 and 2008. The Polar Bears also improve to 11-0 all-time in NCAA play at Ryan Field.

Bowdoin (the 2007 and 2008 national champion, now riding an 11-game tournament win streak), will face Skidmore for the first time since 2007 (a second round win for the Polar Bears). Ursinus and Mes-siah will play in the other semifinal. The winners meet in the national championship game Sunday.

Men’s soccerMen’s soccer won its first tourna-

ment game Sunday, 2-1, over visit-ing Eastern Connecticut in a second round showdown. Bowdoin set a new program record with its 14th victory (against one loss and three ties) Michael Gale and Ben Denton-Schneider scored.

The Polar Bears will host a sec-tional this weekend. They’ll face Amherst Saturday at 1 p.m. (the teams tied, 0-0, earlier in the year). Middlebury and Babson do battle in the other contest. The winners meet Sunday for a trip to the Division III Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.

FootballOn the gridiron, Bowdoin ended

its season in style with a 26-21 win at Colby. The Polar Bears locked up their 19th C-B-B championship and ended the year 3-5. An 89-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Pat Noone got the party started. Noone gave the Polar Bears a 14-0 lead after a 22-yard TD pass from Grant White. After Colby rallied to tie, Sean O’Malley scored on a blocked punt to put Bowdoin ahead to stay. Ian Vieira later returned an interception 17-yards to make it 26-14 and the Polar Bears held on for the win.

Freeport running boosters holding 5K

The third annual Freeport running boosters/Betty ReeZ WhoopieZ 5k trail race will be held Saturday at 9 a.m., at the Pownal Road Fields. All proceeds go to the Freeport high track and cross coun-try teams. The cost is $15 pre-race and $20 the day of. There will be a $100 first place prize and age group awards.

‘Blueberries, Broadway & Brian,’ Time for Three, a ‘Wild Party’ and moreBy Scott Andrews

There’s an interesting mix of theater and music worth checking out this week in southern Maine. Perhaps the most interest-ing of all is a warmly humorous account of the life local theatrical director and producer Brian Allen. And it’s delivered by the man himself.

The Portland Symphony Orchestra has co-commissioned a new work especially tailored for its guest ensemble, Time For Three. Be among the first in the world to hear it on the Nov. 21 Classical Sunday concert.

The decadence of the Roaring Twenties is recalled this weekend on the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham campus with “The Wild Party,” an Off-Broadway musi-cal that’s being produced by the School of Music.

The Oratorio Chorale opens its 2010-2011 season — and the 25th anniversary season of music director Peter Frewen — with a pair of concerts in Bath on Saturday and Yarmouth on Sunday.

‘Blueberries, Broadway & Brian’Brian P. Allen, co-founder and artistic

director of Portland’s Good Theater, has loved the stage all his life. His first public performance was in the title role of “Son-ny Bunny” in a grade school production, and after college he became the business manager of Maine State Music Theatre.

He’s had many theatrical experiences since then, including a national tour of an off-Broadway show he co-created.

His latest stage incarnation is a very funny, very engaging biographical retro-spective that recounts his life and times, starting with the family blueberry business in Union up to the present. Along the way he’s met some interesting characters and had some fascinating experiences.

“Blueberries, Broadway & Brian” is divided roughly 50-50 between stand-up comedy and one-man play. It’s full of laughs and offers wonderful insights into characters such as the late Vickie Crandall, MSMT founder and longtime artistic director.

I saw it this past weekend and highly recommend the show to anyone interested in theater, especially its behind-the-scenes workings.

Good Theater presents “Blueberries, Broadway & Brian” through Nov. 21 at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress St. in Portland (top of Munjoy Hill) with a 7 p.m. performance Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m. per-formances Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. There’s also a 3 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Call Good Theater at 885-5883.

Portland Symphony OrchestraThree major modern works are slated

when the Portland Symphony Orchestra plays this Sunday, and one of them is brand new. The PSO has co-commissioned a genre-crossing composition written especially for its guest artists, a Philadel-phia-based trio that goes by the name of Time For Three.

All three of the works on this program integrate myriad styles that will result in a fascinating musical exploration.

Two of the pieces are quite well known — Paul Hindemith’s playful “Symphonic Metamorphosis,” which is based on themes by the Romantic composer Carl Maria von Weber, and Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story,” an extensive orchestral compilation from the famous 1957 Broadway musical. This landmark work incorporates popular melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic styles, including swing, bop, cool jazz, Latin music, ballads and up-tempo jive.

“Travels in Time for Three” was written

specifically for the talents of the trio and embraces many musical genres from jazz to country, Irish folk to funk, and gospel to classical. The trio sports an interesting combination of instruments: two violins plus double bass. They will join the PSO for the Maine premiere of “Travels in Time for Three,” composed by Chris Brubeck (son of jazz legend Dave Brubeck). Catch the Portland Symphony Orchestra Nov. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at Merrill Auditorium at Port-land City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

‘The Wild Party’Decadence rules in the University of

Southern Maine School of Music’s produc-tion of “The Wild Party,” a musical by An-drew Lippa, which has its Maine premiere this weekend on the Gorham campus. The 2000 off-Broadway musical, adapted from a poem, offers a tale of love and redemp-tion, set during the Roaring Twenties.

Here’s the setup: Queenie, a vaudeville dancer, and Burrs, a stage clown, are a high-living couple whose relationship is marked by reckless behavior. When the two decide to throw a party to end all parties in their Manhattan apartment, they invite a host of characters that revel in the fashions, affectations and habits of the jazz era. After Burrs and Queenie purposely set out to make the other jealous, emotions erupt and lives are changed forever.

Andrew Lippa’s book, music and lyrics were inspired by Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 book-length poem of the same name. March’s book was deemed profane at the time and it fell into obscurity for 70 years until an artist, Art Spiegelman, found an original edition and published an illustrated version in 1999.

Ed Reichert directs a cast of more than 20, plus a group of musicians. He advises that this show is unsuitable for children.

Three performances in Corthell Hall on USM’s Gorham campus are scheduled for this weekend only: Nov. 20-21 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 22 at 5 p.m. Call 780-5555.

Oratorio ChoraleThe Oratorio Chorale presents the first

half of its two-program season Nov. 20-21 with performances of two major sacred works: Maurice Durufle’s Requiem Mass and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata No. 80 — best known as “Ein feste Burg’ ist unser Gott.”

The concerts will mark the 25th season for music director Peter Frewen, who notes that although the two works were written about 200 years apart in two very different countries, they are linked by the fact that both composers were church or-ganists and both men looked back several centuries for inspiration.

Frewen points out that Durufle’s Requi-em was inspired by one sung by Gregorian monks in the Sixth Century.

“He took as his starting material the melodies of the various sections of the Requiem Mass,” explained Frewen. “With great technical skill and profound artistic imagination, he embedded these ancient modal melodies in a context that projects both vivid pictorial imagery and deeply humane emotive surgings.”

Likewise the Bach Cantata is based on a 16th-century hymn by Martin Luther that served as an anthem of the Reformation.

“Basing the entire cantata on Luther’s melody, Bach created a universe of sound in which all phrases, of however diverse a char-acter, orbit about, held in their spheres by the gravity of the central idea,” Frewen said.

Catch the Oratorio Chorale Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at United Church of Christ in Bath and Nov. 21 at 3 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Yarmouth. Call 725-1420.

assistance from the weekly food pantry.It takes about 500 volunteers per week in the soup

kitchen, McKean said, adding there is always a need for additional volunteers. She said there are businesses that donate employee volunteers to help out, but this year, Preble Street’s volunteers have been responsible for all three meals served in the soup kitchen. In past years, only breakfast fell to Preble Street to provide.

While the food drive helps feed people through the holidays, McKean said there is a need year-round for food and cash donations as well as volunteers.

“Come January, March and July, we will still need the same amount of food and volunteers,” she said.

During the past two years, Preble Street has seen a 30 percent increase in need for its services, McKean said. The soup kitchen and food pantry aren’t serving only homeless people, she said, as there has been an increase in recent years of working people who cannot afford to feed their families.

“Anybody that walks through our doors and says they need help, we offer them assistance,” McKean said.

The soup kitchen will be open on Thanksgiving but the food pantry will switch days that week to Tuesday, she said.

Food, toy drivesfrom page 1


cards, electronics, calling cards and clothing, where many other toy drives focus on younger children.

“Often teenagers get left out,” she said.Downeast Energy has collection boxes in its offices in

Brunswick, Kennebunk, Lisbon Falls, York, Waterville, Hallowell, Mt. Vernon, South Portland, Windham, Bid-deford, Yarmouth and Springvale. Unwrapped gifts for children ages 6 through 18 will be accepted from Nov. 19 to Dec. 10.

Morrell said the company became involved in the food drive called “Stuff A Big Bus Food Drive” as a corporate sponsor years ago. She said Preble Street meets “a lot of different needs,” including those of the chronically and sporadically homeless.

“It’s a great way to leverage the dollars that we give,” she said.

Preble Street Development Manager Melanie McKean said the “Stuff the Bus” campaign is the largest of the year for the organization, collecting about three months worth of food.

“I don’t know what we would do without it,” McKean said.

Each day, Preble Street serves about 1,100 meals in the soup kitchen, she said. Additional people receive

“Big Hits Y100.9” Morning show host Chuck Igo said the food drive began nearly 20 years ago with radio station WMGX and was formerly

called “Stuff the Mayflower,” though Preble Street has always been the beneficiary. He said Preble Street has expanded to offer many more services and said “it’s quite an undertaking on their part.”

Igo calls the food drive “a labor of love” but said “it’s a lot of fun.” More than a dozen local schools in Cape Elizabeth, Portland, South Portland and Scarborough participate in the food drive and several schools allow the children to help carry donations to the bus so they can see the increasing amount of food, Igo said.

In past years, Cape Elizabeth Middle School has do-nated so much food, it took nearly 30 minutes to load all of it on the bus, he said, adding that Longfellow Elementary School in Portland had boxes stacked along the length of an entire hallway three to four boxes high. By the time all the donated food is picked up from the schools, the bus is often already ¾ full.

“Every little bit does help,” Igo said. “There is no effort that is too small.”

There are also local businesses that sign up to do-nate, he said. Some businesses donate food and some participate in a “virtual food drive” by making online donations directly to Preble Street through a link on the station’s website, www.y1009.com. Cash dona-tions are used to purchase perishable items such as milk.

There is also the opportunity for individuals to donate food. There will be a bus collecting food donations for Preble Street parked at Hannaford in Back Cove Nov. 23 from 7 to 10 a.m. and near the Maine Mall from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The bus will return to Back Cove Nov. 24 from 7 a.m. to noon. Everything collected will be delivered to Preble Street in time for Thanksgiving.

Other corporate sponsors of the food drive include Wright Express, Falmouth Physical Therapy, Maine Credit Unions Campaign for Ending Hunger, Han-naford, MarketFresh Produce and Custom Coach and Limousine.

Stephanie Grinnell / the ForecaSterThe one-of-a-kind cribstone bridge connecting Bailey and Orr’s islands has been reconstructed

over the past two years. A reopening ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 20, at 11 a.m.

Harpswell bridgefrom page 1


a cost of about $10.5 million — about $500,000 under budget to date.

Removal of the temporary bridge and a “few odds and ends” are expected to be complete next spring, well ahead of the November 2011 projected completion deadline, Brown said.

Some of the replacement stones came from the original quarry in North Yarmouth, but the majority came from a commercial quarry in Sullivan, he said. The original quarry is no longer a commercial quarry and could not produce the amount of stone needed in a timely manner.

The work was completed from the top down, with the first step being removal of the deck, then removal of stones layer-by-layer to reach broken stones, Brown said.

“It’s been a joy, actually, for me,” he said, adding the community has been patient and considerate during the repair work.

There were a few times a barge blocked the navigation channel while work was being done on the span over the channel, but Brown said construction crews tried to take into account busy times of day so as not to disrupt lobstermen and other ocean-going vessels that frequent the area.

“They were really good about it,” he said.

While Brown said he was not nervous about working on the historic bridge, he said it had unique challenges. He said there were a few things that were “difficult to get around.”

“It was interesting, but it’s pretty sim-ple from a technical standpoint,” he said. “It’s more stone age than space age.”

Brown said community interest in the project was high.

“(The bridge) means something to the people on Orr’s and Bailey, there is an

affinity,” he said. “The community has been very interested. It’s the only one of its kind in the world. To have an $11 million job and not have a complaint of significance is simply amazing.”

CPM Constructors of Freeport per-formed the bridge repairs using an average crew of 25, which has since been reduced to about 15 people, Brown said.

The 1,150-foot cribstone bridge was completed in 1928 under the direction of engineer L. N. Edwards, according to a plaque on the Orr’s Island side of the bridge.

The unique design allows tidal seawater, boat traffic and ice floes through the bridge without washing it out. The bridge is a Na-tional Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

According to a press release from the DOT, the original stones were transported from the North Yarmouth quarry by boat to Harpswell, then placed using derricks aboard boats. The base of the bridge is supported by underwater granite ledges and spans Will’s Gut.Stephanie Grinnell can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123

“If the council is going to appoint a committee, make it known to the citi-zenry the group is going to be limited to five,” she said. “It seems to me the horse and cart are reversed here.”

Smith said standing committee rules are different than ad hoc committees, in that standing committees are required to run notice in newspapers twice within a two-month period while ad hoc com-mittees are usually “fast-track” appoint-ments that take place during a much

shorter time frame.McKean Street resident John Donovan

said citizens appointed to the committee “may not be independent of council in-fluence” and suggested the citizen group meet and research options without the four councilors who are already part of the committee.

King said as a general rule subcom-mittee meetings would not be televised, either. Councilors Debbie Atwood and John Perreault took issue with that.

“I think every meeting should be tele-vised,” Atwood said. “If not, that leaves us wide open to accusations of secrecy ... cloak-and-dagger stuff.”

Councilors reminded residents all committee meetings are open to the public, even if they are not televised, and residents are encouraged to attend. Town Manager Gary Brown noted there may also be public “field trips” as part of the process.

The subcommittee is expected to meet again Dec. 6, following appointment of five citizens who were scheduled to be interviewed Wednesday.

Locations under consideration for a new police station include the old Times Record building; property at Brunswick Naval Air Station; the existing Town Hall and police station on Federal Street; the recently withdrawn proposal of the cor-ner of Pleasant and Stanwood streets, and the corner of Union and Weymouth, plus other properties the committee may feel are valid options.

The committee is charged with reporting to the council in February 2011.Stephanie Grinnell can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123
