By Will GraffFREEPORT — Business own-

ers and residents are hoping the extension of Amtrak Downeas-ter service to Freeport and Brunswick this week will be an economic boon, but no one really knows what to expect.

“We haven’t established any metric that can demonstrate success,” Sande Updegraph,

Freeport station manager and former executive director of the Freeport Economic Development Corp., said. “All of the busi-nesses are kind of waiting to see what traffic actually comes.”

Bath museum celebrates 5 decades of maritime cultureBy Alex Lear

BATH — What started as a maritime history book project has led, 50 years later, to a mu-seum lauded around the world.

The Maine Maritime Museum is celebrating its golden anniver-sary by launching a new exhibit, “Ahead Full at Fifty,” recogniz-ing the establishment’s collection of historic items. The museum

has gathered more than 20,000 objects, 3 million manuscript items and 130,000 photographs.

“From gowns to gunnels, we’re going to strut our stuff,” the museum website boasts.

The museum’s story began in November 1962, when seven Bath residents – Frank Giv-en, Duncan McInnes, Thatcher Pinkham Sr., Rodney Ross Jr.,

Sumner Sewall, Donald Small and Donald Spear – formed the Marine Research Society of Bath to publish a history of local shipbuilding. They also sought to create a museum and collect artifacts.

The Bath Marine Museum opened in 1964 at a 38 Centre St. storefront, and the following year the former 963 Washington St.

home of Harold March Sewall was donated for the museum’s use. The Marine Research So-ciety leased the historic Percy & Small Shipyard, which was opened to the public in 1971 and remains part of the current museum’s campus. The society finally published the book it was

Ballot boxes fill as early voting endsBy David Harry

PORTLAND — Absentee bal-lots and early voters are keeping election clerks busy.

But as the Nov. 1 deadline for early voting loomed, some towns saw declines in early vot-ing compared to the last general election in 2008.

The ballots remain sealed until Election Day, but in towns and cities from Bath to Scarborough, clerks said between 15 and 20 percent of eligible voters sub-mitted or mailed absentee bal-lots this year.

In Falmouth, Town Clerk El-len Planer said 34 percent of the town’s registered voters asked for absentee ballots. The ballots can be filled out at an early poll-ing site or mailed in by Nov. 6.

Brunswick deals with dearth of candidatesBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — On Nov. 6, three Town Council candidates and one School Board can-didate will be elected without op-position.

Candidates and town officials see several reasons for the ap-parent lack of interest residents have in running for local elected office.

Barring any successful, last-minute write-in campaigns, incumbent Councilors John Perreault and Suzan Wilson will reclaim their District 3 and Dis-trict 4 council seats, respective-

WCME returns to Brunswick airwaves promising local focusBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — Radio industry vet-eran Jim Bleikamp revived WCME in October after several years of dead air, and said he hopes to make the station a profitable venture by focusing on com-munity news.

“We feel there will be a relationship between the extent to which we’re in-volved in this community and the extent to which we’re successful in a business sense,” Bleikamp said last week.

WCME launched on Oct. 17 at 900 AM and with an online stream at radio-

ContributedJim Bleikamp brought WCME back to the Brunswick airwaves at 900 AM and radio9WCME.com

in October. He said he plans for the radio station to focus on community news programming, which will begin in about a month.

9wcme.com. He said he plans to gradu-ally add local content in about a month. For now, he said, the station plays 1970s-oriented music “with some surprises.”

During the day, Bleikamp said the station’s signal will reach Brunswick, Bath, Topsham and Freeport, although he has managed to pick up the signal farther south in towns like Saco and Ken-nebunkport.

“I believe there is no area, no small market in this nation any more primed for a local station than Brunswick and Bath,” the station owner said, citing Brunswick’s political activity and com-munity involvement.

He said because of Federal Commu-nications Commission regulations, the station will only reach Brunswick and Freeport at night, though people might be able to intercept a faint signal elsewhere.

For that reason, Bleikamp said he hopes to grow his audience with the online stream.

“It will be a very good tool at night for people in the outlying areas,” he said.

Bleikamp said he hasn’t yet hired any news staffers. He said he will start with a few people who will share news reporting responsibilities.

“Initially it will be a small staff, just a few people. We may have some part-timers,” he said. “But we will work hard, we will work effectively and we will

work smart to provide service to this community.”

Bleikamp said local news will be the cornerstone of WCME, with hourly news updates, a morning talk show with local guests, play-by-play high school sports broadcasts and more.

“A radio station like this is very conta-gious because of its local nature,” he said.

Bleikamp, who most recently spent 12 years as an anchor for Wall Street Journal Radio in New York, said it took him a few years to launch the station because he needed build or acquire a radio tower and receive site approval from the town. The Town Council approved a zoning ordinance for a tower site in the south end of town, near Route 1, a year ago.

The tower is currently powered at 700 watts during the day, not quite reaching its 1,000-watt potential, Bleikamp said, because he is awaiting approval from the FCC.

Matthew Killmeier, a communications and media studies professor at the Uni-versity of Southern Maine, said locally oriented radio station like WCME can be viable because of inexpensive production and licensing costs, and its broad reach.

“Radio is uniquely situated, particular-ly when you have a breaking news story. People will go to the radio, especially while at work,” Killmeier said, adding that listeners in the area will turn to radio

RSU 1 weighs per-pupil cost-sharing formulaBy Alex Lear

BATH — A committee reviewing the effectiveness of the Regional School Unit 1 formula for sharing costs across its communities is considering a per-student assessment model, Superintendent Patrick Manuel said Wednesday.

Representatives from all five communi-ties have been meeting since June, and may decide at a Tuesday, Nov. 13, meeting whether to recommend that assessment – which would be the same for each com-munity – to the RSU 1 Board of Directors.

The review was triggered by concerns over the RSU 1 board's unanimous vote April 23 to change the cost-sharing for-mula for the current fiscal 2013 budget, so that a law that created the school district would apply to its entire local tax calcula-tion.

The board heard arguments from the public in support of the change, but its de-cision drew criticism from some municipal officials in the district, which is comprised of Bath, Arrowsic, Phippsburg, West Bath and Woolwich.

In May, the Bath City Council asked RSU 1 Chairman Timothy Harkins to re-quest that the School Board "immediately begin the process of adopting a new cost-sharing method that is fair and equitable to the taxpayers of all member communities."

The local contribution from the RSU 1 communities – the funds raised through taxes – had been split into two pieces: a minimum amount that the state requires, and a portion over and above that amount. State subsidy to the district had been pre-sented on a form based on the essential programs and services model.

Harkins said in April that the form stat-ed that for the district to receive subsidy from the state, "we need to raise a certain dollar amount at the local level. And they

break that down by community. They say each community should raise X amount of dollars."

The other local contribution piece was the additional amount each community must raise, beyond the EPS model. That contribution stipulated a cost-sharing for-mula based on equal thirds: student popu-lation, state valuation of a community and the community's population in the most recent census.

Manuel said this week that the cost-sharing committee supports using the recently discussed per-pupil formula for the state-required minimum contribution,

but that it had not reached consensus on applying that model to the local over-and-above portion.

Each community is expected to discuss the proposed formula before the committee reconvenes Nov. 13. The committee could make a recommendation on the matter to

the School Board at that panel's Nov. 26 meeting.

If the School Board supports a change in the formula, the decision would go to a district-wide referendum vote.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

After 3 years, Harpswell library renovations nearly completeBy Dylan Martin

HARPSWELL — The renovation of the Orr’s Island Library is nearly com-plete after three years of construction and an outpouring of local and national financial support.

The library’s treasurer, John Webster, said the $450,000 project has raised about $360,000 in cash donations. He said the support comes from a mix of lo-cal residents and people who either live in Harpswell seasonally or have lived there in the past.

The out-of-state donations represent about 30 states, Webster said.

“It’s been very impressive,” he said, “and we’ve had incredible support.”

Orr’s Island Library is operated as a private nonprofit organization, Webster said, and it was originally built in 1905. While the building has received improve-ments over the past decade, he said it was time to make a larger investment on the library.

A large portion of the donations, in particular, comes from Albert Moren of Guns Point, who gave $30,000 in three installments over the past three years.

Webster said Moren’s gift is meant to fund work on the library’s 107-year-old reading room, which will be named after Moren’s late wife, Sue Fisher Moren.

“He was looking for a place to memo-rialize her,” Webster said. There will also be a shelf dedicated to Fisher Moren’s favorite books.

To solicit more donations, Webster said Moren challenged other supporters to match each donation amount, which was met each time with a larger amount.

Moren’s 2010 donation of $5,000 was meet with around $6,000, his 2011 dona-tion of $12,500 with about $14,000 and his 2012 donation of another $12,500 with $16,000, the library’s treasurer said.

Altogether, Moren and the supporters who matched his donations raised around $66,000.

In addition to those donations, Webster said the municipality has also donated $50,000 that was given in installments over the past few years.

“I think these libraries in Harpswell – Orr’s Island Library and Cundy’s Harbor Library – are institutional gems,” Town Administrator Kristi Eiane said, “and they are both assets to the community.”

Webster said while there are only a few items left on the checklist to complete the building, a grand opening won’t happen until next year after landscaping work is done.

In the meantime, Webster said the li-brary is looking to pay off the rest of the project with a few grants and finish small projects like installing a bulletin board, a commemorative plaque and a toilet that is compliant with Americans with Dis-abilities Act standards.

So far, he said, the group has added more storage, stabilized the original building, built an additional reading room and installed an ADA-compliant wheelchair lift.

“We hope to make a huge deal of it when we make it to the end,” Webster said.

Economic development firm continues Harpswell meetingsBy Dylan Martin

HARPSWELL — When Planning De-cisions asked residents how they would like to see their local economy improved, people responded by saying they want to put the town on the map, literally, in a way that would attract more visitors.

But at the Portland firm's first com-munity forum for Harpswell's economic development plan on Oct. 25, another suggestion was made: raise residents' awareness about the goods and services offered in town.

"The biggest part that I think that we miss is having us as townspeople be aware of the businesses we have in

town," Selectman Alison Hawkes said during the meeting, "because we are self-sustaining. Most people don't have an idea."

Part of the awareness problem is com-pounded by the town's division between the mainland and the islands, Hawkes said, which might blind people from learning about business developments in other parts of Harpswell.

Hawkes said she didn't became aware of the wider scope of Harpswell busi-nesses until she became an elected of-ficial and began traveling around town more often.

While conducting the Oct. 25 forum,

Registerto play!

Sarah Curran, a senior planner at Plan-ning Decisions, said she thought that was an interesting perspective because after doing some research, she found that more people are self-employed in Harpswell then the state and county averages.

According to 2011 tax information, Curran found that self-employed people make up 30 percent of residents – twice the Cumberland County average of 15 percent, and nearly twice the state aver-age of 16 percent.

She said the purpose of this forum and other meetings is to see how people want, and don't want, the local economy

to change."We will try to find common themes

(from those meetings) and then do a meeting about opportunities and assets" that can potentially improve Harpswell's economy, Curran said. That meeting is expected to happen sometime in No-vember.

Town Administrator Kristi Eiane said she is happy with the progress that town has been making with Harpswell's eco-nomic development plan.

"I think there's been a great effort to extract ideas from the community," she said.

Occupy Maine sets focus on home foreclosuresBy Marena Blanchard

PORTLAND — Members of Occupy Maine are focusing their efforts on hous-ing foreclosures and providing support to Mainers struggling through the process.

The newly formed Occupy Our Homes is offering services that include general information, legal assistance, and fund-raising.

Some of the core activists involved participated in the occupation of Lincoln Park in Portland. But William Hessian was in Minneapolis, Minn., where one

of the first Occupy Our Homes groups was founded.

Hessian said one of the group’s goals is to develop “creative solutions for each individual.”

Recently, Occupy Our Homes held an arts event for Susan Chandel, who is facing foreclosure in Topsham. More than 30 artists participated and formed Maple Edge Arts Collective, which will attempt to raise the funds, with Chandel, to purchase her home and turn it into an artists’ collective.

Advocacy is another goal. The group is contacting candidates across the state to discuss their positions on LD-145, a bill that the Legislature passed to prevent banks from foreclosing on homes unless the banks could prove ownership.

The bill was vetoed by Gov. Paul LeP-age in March. Hessian said it will likely be reintroduced and the group hopes to garner enough support to overturn an-other veto.

Over the past few months the group has organized forums in Portland to raise

awareness and to share information and resources. The forums are held every sec-ond Tuesday of the month at State Street Church UCC, 159 State St., Portland.

The next forum will be held Tuesday, Nov. 13, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

For more information or to work with the group as a homeowner, contact Hes-sian at [email protected].

News briefsTopsham board corrects truck purchase

TOPSHAM — The Board of Select-men voted unanimously Oct. 25 to purchase a pickup truck from O’Connor GMC, correcting a decision the panel had made a week before.

The board voted Oct. 18 to buy the Public Works Department truck from Goodwin Chevrolet. Goodwin had sub-mitted a bid of nearly $34,800, which had already included the $3,000 value of a truck the town was going to trade in. However, the bid presented to the board by the public works director did not take into account the inclusion of the trade-in, and mistakenly subtracted a further $3,000 to bring the number to nearly $31,800, Chairman Donald Russell said Wednesday.

O’Connor GMC submitted a bid of just over $33,100, including the trade-in val-ue. It was later deemed the low bidder.

Delivery of the vehicle should take about 10 weeks, Russell said.

Southwest begins Portland flights in April

PORTLAND — Six months before its first plane will depart from Portland International Jetport, Southwest Airlines announced its flight schedule last week.

Starting April 14, 2013, Southwest will offer three non-stop flights to and from Baltimore-Washington International Airport each weekday. Two non-stop flights will fly to and from BWI each Saturday and Sunday.

Those are the same number of daily

flights now flown to Baltimore by South-west subsidiary AirTran Airways, which will end its Portland service April 13, 2013.

Baltimore will be the only destination Southwest serves from Portland. Once there, passengers will be able to connect to nearly 60 cities, the airline said, a 30 percent increase over the number now available to Portland-Baltimore passengers on AirTran.

Southwest plans to serve Portland with 143-seat Boeing 737 jets, while AirTran

uses 117-seat Boeing 717s.Southwest, the nation’s largest domestic

airline, is known for its discount fares and “bags fly free” policy. The nearest airport now served by Southwest is in Manchester, N.H.

Seven airlines including AirTran now fly through Portland. Last year, the jetport completed a $75 million renovation, includ-ing a new, 145,000-square-foot terminal expansion.

Scarborough High School senior Katie Elliott is the founder of Driving Force, a student

Katie Elliott: a ‘driving force’ for good

Unsung HeroesOne in a series of profiles by Brunswick writer

David Treadwell about people who quietly contrib-ute to the quality of life in greater Portland. Do

you know an Unsung Hero? Tell us: [email protected]

By David TreadwellSCARBOROUGH — Some people

are born to serve, and Scarborough High School senior Katie Elliott is one of those people.

As a sixth-grader, she donated 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love, an organization that provides hair pieces to financially disadvantaged children suf-fering from long-term medical hair loss.

“I loved the way I felt after having helped someone less fortunate,” Elliott recalled.

She has continued to make an impact, assisting in activities at her church, for example, and working in a soup kitchen. “I was inspired to challenge myself, and I decided that I wanted to do something more,” she said.

A can-do “A” student, Elliott wasted little time in creating an outlet where she could “do something more:” She launched Driving Force, an organization dedicated to collecting items for non-profit groups in greater Portland.

Elliott turned to an energetic pool of contributors: her fellow students. “I wanted to make volunteering part of their lives,” she explained, demonstrating wis-dom well beyond her years.

Last November, Driving Force made a delivery of wish-list goods to its first recipient, the Ronald McDonald House. “They were surprised because I hadn’t called them first,” she recalled. “That was a learning experience, so now I always contact the organization first.”

Elliott selected the Salvation Army as the second monthly Driving Force proj-ect. “I set up a table in the cafeteria and we collected 237 books to give to teenag-ers in southern Maine,” she said.

The Preble Street soup kitchen was the third recipient of Driving Force’s lar-gesse. Elliott collected nearly 50 pounds of pasta and sauce from her peers to

donate to Preble Street.Other projects followed: The Center for

Grieving Children received notebooks, paper towels, and other items. The Ani-mal Refuge League received more than $200 from the proceeds of ribbon sales. The Lighthouse Shelter received tooth-brushes. A prom raffle netted more than $150 for the Children’s Miracle Network.

In addition to making a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of people, including her fellow students,

Elliott’s entrepreneurial efforts began to draw wider recognition. This past June she was named Miss Maine’s Outstand-ing Teen, and she represented Maine in the Miss America Outstanding Teen Pageant in Orlando in August.

She was also one of only 200 students out of 35,000 nominees to receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program. Winners were selected on the basis of initiative, leader-ship, generosity, and project benefits and outcome.

Elliott’s service activities extend be-yond the wide reach of Driving Force: she was chosen by her fellow students to serve as one of two student representa-tives on the Scarborough School Board.

“The students ask a lot of questions that the adults might not think to ask,” she noted.

In her not-so-spare time, Elliott serves as a tri-captain of the Scarborough High School Mock Trial Team. This experience should prepare her well for her long-term career goal, to be a criminal prosecutor.

Dean Auriemma, pr incipal of Scarborough High School, marveled at Elliott’s success.

“Katie is a service-above-self kind of person, driven by a light from within. She makes great choices; she’s honest with herself; she’s not afraid to do the right thing; and she doesn’t back down,” Auriemma said. “It’s been a joy to have her in the building.”

When asked how she would liked to be remembered at the end of her life, Elliott said,“I’d like to be known as a person who always tried her best to help other people.”

Navigating the land of hope and gloryRecently a high school friend emailed several of us from

Cranbrook – a.k.a. The School That Dare Not Speak Its Name (thanks, Mitt) – looking for World Series tickets to see my once-beloved Detroit Tigers (curse you, Designated Hitter Rule, for turning the AL into a carnival sideshow).

I don’t know how I was supposed to help from Maine, but I’m glad he included me in an online conversation that mean-dered from this year to the great 1968 Detroit-St. Louis series that caused a brief cessation of hostilities in racially charged Detroit, and finally to baseball in general. I owe a lot to baseball for the role it has played in my life of taking the road less traveled.

Gas was under 20 cents a gallon when I went to my first Tigers game. The visit-ing shortstop, Luis Aparicio, was shagging flies during fielding practice. He drew a bead on a seemingly impos-sible get that was headed to our seats, about halfway down the third base line. He sprinted toward the warning track, made the catch on a dead run, went over the low wall and fell in a fan’s lap. He got up with a look on his face like he’d just pulled a baby out of a well. Did I mention this was fielding practice? I never saw anybody so happy doing something he was getting paid for.

I was young, but I wasn’t an idiot. I was the schoolyard shortstop who couldn’t see the ball until the last second because he didn’t know he needed glasses. The majors

weren’t in my future. Fortunately, something else came along that I would run into a brick wall for: comedy. I had no idea how apt the brick wall comparison would be, especially when my passion became obscured by a lust for fame, a fool’s game if ever there was one.

The sharpest epiphany I ever had about the folly of chas-ing fame was also baseball-related, sort of. I wish it had happened earlier. It could have saved me a lot of anguish.

After flaming out as a stand-up comedian, while strug-gling to break into TV writing, I went to a print shop to copy an early spec script. The guy ahead of me was copying adult softball league schedules for the Burbank parks department, and he was wearing a World Series ring. They’re huge, by the way. And garish. Pimp gar-ish. They’re also proof that you won the biggest prize in baseball. This guy had one, and now he was an assistant recreation director. Thinking I must have a kindred spirit, I pointed at the ring and said something lame about how the world pulls the rug out from under you.

Unlike me, he turned out to be remarkably at peace. To him it was always about doing the thing he loved. He got to play baseball for a living. He made the majors. He got to the Series. His team won. That’s pretty much the dream when you’re 8 years old and playing catch with your dad – or throwing the ball up on the garage roof by yourself while your dad yells from the house to shut up out there, he’s trying to read the paper. Hypothetically. Just to throw another possible childhood scenario out there. Not that it happened. Not that it didn’t.

Sure, a Burbank softball field is a long way from The Show, and he wasn’t looking back on Johnny Bench’s ca-reer, but this former backup catcher and current assistant recreation director knew what that ring represented, and he knew nobody could take it away from him. A person could be in a lot worse place at the age of 35.

He could be on his knees vomiting into the toilet bowl of a filthy rest room in a crummy suburban bar in Westchester County, for instance. Because Lawrence Taylor – yes, that Lawrence Taylor – out for a beer after Giants’ practice, had just gotten a standing ovation for paying him $100 to get off a makeshift stage with no lights, a battery-operated sound system and no air conditioning in the middle of August. After he had failed to entertain a single person in a room full of 20-something men so drunk that none of them even noticed the even drunker guy in the front row who had decided to go commando that night and was now accidentally exposing himself. Remembering how he had given up a promising law career to become a huge star and instead found himself living off his wife in a vermin-infested fourth-floor walk-up in a bad neighborhood of a dangerous city.

Again, hypothetically.If I had met that catcher a little earlier, I might have

taken more satisfaction in enduring nightly humiliation on dark smoky stages, learning how to make people laugh, and getting paid for something I would have done for free. Or some satisfaction, even, instead of obsessing about the failure of a stupid world to recognize a comic genius when they saw one. Fortunately, I did meet him in time to change my perspective, so that I could recognize the chance to put words in the mouths of talented actors to perform for millions of people every week on television as the privilege it is.

Mid-Coast area needs competitive hospitals

My household and I strongly support Parkview Ad-ventist Medical Center's right to join Central Maine Healthcare. Mid Coast Hospital's attempt to strong-arm an overtaking of Parkview is very sad indeed, and their motives in doing so should be evident, and it's not because they're interested in providing the best health care for our community. It is rather a selfish desire to extinguish any local competi-tion and in doing so controlling all of this area's hospital needs and thus creating a monopoly. As in other busi-ness and industry, competition provides lower costs for the consumer, as well as improved quality of product.

Mid Coast has chosen, from day one, not to work with Parkview, but rather has attempted to work against it and to squeeze it out of the picture. We cannot let this happen.

Not only does Parkview provide jobs for the Bruns-wick economy, but Parkview is who we are, having

served the medical needs of the surrounding area for over 50 years with top-notch medical care, delivered with love, compassion and understanding. From it's inception in 1959, Parkview's desire was solely to pro-vide quality, personal health care for the whole person,

a commitment it holds to this day.I beg those folks in the Health Care

Oversight Program to consider the positive impact Parkview has had on our community and what it would mean should Mid Coast become the sole controller. Such a move would

be bad for Parkview and very bad for the folks in the greater Bath, Brunswick, Topsham area, and beyond.

Parkview programs improve health, reduce costs

I am fortunate to be a graduate of the Lifestyle Choices program at Parkview Adventist Medical Center. It is a unique and special program taught in a positive, encour-


If you’ve ever visited Disney World or some other large amusement park, you are probably familiar with the signs. The ones that blatantly forewarn you of your fate. Of the coming torment. Of the hours or minutes you will need to stand in line behind the mass of sometimes cranky adults and fidgety children as you wait your turn to be propelled at the speed of sound down a water-filled chute while strapped into a small roller-coaster car.

When you approach the entrance to the ride, and see the sign that reads, “wait time: 57 minutes” you are both dismayed and pleased; dismayed that you will be in line for nearly an hour of your short time here on earth, pleased that someone had the decency to warn you, so you could make a well-informed decision and exercise your power of choice.

This doesn’t happen many times in the real world, because the real world is not an amusement park.

Were the real world an amusement park, the cute person we smile at in 1979 who ends up as our spouse in 1988 would wear a sign around their neck, clearly stating, “Wait time: 9 years. Please be patient.”

But this is not how real life works. Sure, with things like babies or tomato seedlings, there are generally ac-cepted gestation periods and you have a pretty decent approximation of when you’ll hold your little bundle of joy in your arms, or cut up that juicy specimen of red tomato perfection for your salad.

With most things in life, however, no one gives us a “wait time.” And this is both a blessing, and a curse.

You get on line at the grocery store with 11 items in your basket and you’re moving right along, and then, boom – the guy in front of you has some exotic veg-etable that throws the cashier for a loop, the authorities are called in, the vegetable is scrutinized and finally identified, weighed, and its price calculated – just in time for the debit card machine to go on the fritz. Next thing you know, it’s 20 minutes later and your Boca Burgers have defrosted.

You hop onto the highway for what should be a four-hour drive, and then, bam – an hour and 12 minutes into the trip your kids have to pee and then your check engine light comes on. Or someone decides it’s a good time to repave the road. And suddenly, what was once a four-hour trip is now going to be a five-hour trip. Or a six-hour trip. Or, heaven forbid, a 12-hour trip ulti-mately involving a motel room.

Drew and I once piled ourselves and our first two chil-dren, then ages 4 and 15 months, into our rather small car for an extended Easter weekend afternoon in New Jersey, fully expecting to arrive home approximately 4 1/2 hours later. Five minutes into our journey, we thought we spotted a snowflake fluttering down toward

our windshield. An hour or so later, we had a flat tire. Luckily, we found a repair station, procured a new tire, and got back on the road – just in time for the April Fool’s Day blizzard of 1997.

White-knuckled and jacked up on Easter candy, we ar-rived at our house the next day at dinnertime, following an overnight layover at Drew’s mother’s house. Thank goodness for the Easter Bunny’s generosity, or we would have starved to death.

My point being this: had someone told us ahead of time, we never would have gotten into the car. Which in hindsight would have been a very good decision. A sign would have been appreciated.

But when it comes to things like building a relation-ship, writing a book, painting a painting, composing a symphony or inventing a new way to get to the moon, if we were given a true idea of how much time it might take us, we might never begin such feats. And where would the world be then? How much wonder would we all be missing?

There are some instances where a “wait time” sign would be most welcome – but in most situations, I still believe it’s the “not knowing” that truly allows us to keep forging ahead.

aging, honest, kind and compassionate manner by excel-lent doctors and staff. The doctors and staff at Parkview also speak at public events to further spread the word about how to achieve better health.

In a country where illness and disease is widespread and medical costs have skyrocketed, there is a critical need for programs like the ones at Parkview. Parkview’s phi-losophy and programs teach people how to move towards the best health they can achieve, which not only makes people feel better, but also happens to be cheaper. Better health and less risk for disease results in fewer surgeries and medications now and in the future.

I have met people who have had great success with their health using the principles taught in Lifestyle Choices. I encourage anyone who has diabetes, pre-diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a weight problem, or any other health problem to sign up for Life-style Choices. Even if you don’t have any health problems that you are aware of, and want to have the lowest possible risk for disease, Lifestyle Choices will help you do that. Participants in the class will obtain valuable knowledge that they will not get anywhere else in the area.

I encourage everyone to support Parkview’s programs.Stacie Buccina

Remember the good old days?Raking the fallen leaves the other day, I started

thinking about the good old days when we’d just rake the leaves into the gutter and burn them. The smell of burning leaves was the aroma of autumn, pungent and smoky, a perfectly legal form of local air pollution.

If there had been a dry spell, you might have to get a permit, but burning leaves was the norm. Now we haul tarps full of yellow and brown maple leaves and rust-colored pine needles out into the woods behind the house, using the last few loads to put the backyard garden to bed under a blanket of leaves.

When libertarians complain about the erosion of individual liberties, I never know what they are talking about unless it is things like burning leaves, petty freedoms sacri-ficed for the common good. The good old days were rife with indulgences that these days seem unthinkable.

Can you imagine, for instance, allowing people to smoke in restaurants and other public places? Teachers used to smoke in school. Doctors smoked in their offices. Heck, Carl Yastrzemski used to smoke in the Red Sox dugout.

There was also a time, boys and girls, when it was relatively common for people to throw trash out of their car as they gas-guzzled down the road. Coffee cups, sodas bottles, gum wrappers, cigarette butts, you name it, you’d find it on the side of the road. Now the only people who litter like this are knuckle-draggers who toss McDonald’s bags out on the roadside and the few remaining smokers who still think it’s OK to flick their butts out the win-dow. Oh well, they’ll all be dead soon.

In the good old days, we were pretty cavalier about disposing of things in inappropriate ways. The town dump was an open, smoking pit of

smoldering refuse. Factories and farms just pumped effluent and offal into the rivers. Folks fortunate enough to live on the shore flushed their sewage overboard into the ocean figuring the tide would take care of their fecal matters for them. I have a suspicion there are still a few fat cats on islands and in summer colonies who dispose of their doo-doo in this manner.

Up until the 1970s, it was considered perfectly OK to flush miles of logs down rivers to the mills. Never mind the damage to the flora and fauna and the danger to every living thing, including the log drivers, expediency trumped everything else in the old days.

We also weren’t as hung up on safety as we are today. I don’t think I wore a seat belt until the 1980s. On long trips, my brother and I would ride free and unrestrained in the cargo compartment of the station wagon, and when I was a baby my parents would just lay me up on the rear window shelf and drive around to cool off on hot summer nights. It’s a wonder any of us made it out of the 1950s alive.

Back then, hockey players didn’t wear helmets and goalies didn’t wear face masks. Bicycle helmets hadn’t even been invented. Dogs ran wild in the streets and roamed the neighborhood in packs. Par-ents could whack their kids around all they wanted. Spare the rod, spoil the child. And the dentist might give you a vial of liquid mercury to play with if you were a good little boy or girl.

There were also, of course, a few prohibitions back then would be hard for young people to com-prehend today. Girls couldn’t wear slacks, let alone jeans, to school. And the rare unmarried couple that lived together was considered to be “shacking up.”

Oh yes, and Uncle Sam had the authority to force young men into the military against their will. They’d then be sent off to fight and die in a far away war that accomplished nothing.

Brunswick candidate responds to letter

I write to correct the record as a candidate for repre-sentative to the Legislature from Brunswick. A letter to the editor claimed that I do not support the minimum wage. That is not true.

As I state on my website, I support the minimum wage for all businesses. I would like to raise the mini-mum wage for larger businesses, then tie it to the cost of living so the wage all businesses pay keeps up with inflation.

This would give many workers in Maine an immedi-ate raise, while protecting small businesses. It is not exempting small businesses; it's giving them time to plan for increases. We should protect job growth during this phase of the business cycle; small businesses are the place where job growth occurs.

Keep Parkview hospital open in Brunswick

Enough already regarding Mid Coast Hospital "part-nering" with Parkview Adventist Medical Center. Mid Coast's intent has never been to partner, but to close Parkview, the same as it did Bath Memorial Hospital. Mid Coast has made a lot of misstatements of fact, they want to close Parkview so they can monopolize health care in Brunswick and surrounding communities.

Parkview opened in 1959 when the only available facilities were an old house on Cumberland Street and Bath Memorial Hospital. A few years later Regional Hospital was built. If our region is too small to support two hospitals, why did Regional build after Parkview

had opened? Why didn't they partner then? Why was Mid Coast allowed to build a larger facility dupli-

cating services, adding beds when thee was no need? Politics? You bet.

Regarding family and friends traveling to Lewiston, Parkview would continue its state-of-the-art in hospital patient care. Yes, patients requiring extensive care would probably be transported to CMHC or a larger facility, the same as Mid Coast transports patients to Maine Medical Center. Mid Coast also sends patients to Port-land and Scarborough for procedures not available at Mid Coast. So what is the difference between Parkview sending patients to Lewiston and Mid Coast sending patients to Portland?

CMHC is the lowest-cost health system in Maine and Parkview is actively engaged with CMHC to help Parkview become one of the lowest-cost hospitals in the state.

Support Parkview. Keep it open. It is a great facility.Richard H. and Joanne P. Stevens

Boys' soccerMt. Ararat entered the post-

season as the top seed in East-ern Class A boys' soccer with a record of 12-1-1. The Eagles blanked Waterville, 2-0, in the quarterfinals, then eliminated No. 4 Brunswick, 4-1, in the semifinals Saturday to advance to the Eastern A Final, where they hosted No. 2 Lewiston ((13-1-2) Wednesday. Mt. Ararat suffered its lone loss, 3-1, at the Blue Devils, way back on Sept. 5, and edged visiting Lewiston, 2-1, Oct. 2. If the Eagles make it to Saturday's state game (10

a.m. at Hampden Academy), they'll face either Gorham (14-0-2) or Scarborough (14-0-2).

Brunswick finished the year 9-5-2 after the loss to the Eagles. The Dragons had edged No. 5 Bangor, 3-2, in the quarterfinals.

Morse went 4-10 and didn't qualify for the postseason.

Girls' soccerOn the girls' side, Morse made

it to the Western B Final for the second year in a row. The Ship-builders earned the top seed with a 12-1-1 record and beat No. 8 Freeport and fourth-ranked Poland to advance. Against the Knights, Brianna Williams had two goals and Paige Martin and Miracle Trimble one each. Morse hosted second-ranked

Falmouth (12-2-2), the two-time defending state champion, in the regional final Wednesday. The teams don't play in the regular season. Last year, the Yachts-men rallied in the second half to eliminate the Shipbuilders in the Western B Final, 2-1.

In Eastern A, Mt. Ararat fin-ished 10-6 after a 4-2 loss at top-ranked Bangor in the quar-terfinals and No. 2 Brunswick ended up 14-1 after being upset by seventh-ranked Erskine (3-2, on penalty kicks), also in the quarterfinals.

part in the Class A cross country state championship meet Satur-day in Belfast.

In the girls' meet, won by Bonny Eagle with 66 points, the Eagles had 177 points to come in sixth, while the Dragons (241) were 10th. Individually, Bruns-wick's Tessa Cassidy placed eighth with a time of 19 minutes, 40.51 seconds on the 5-kilometer course to qualify for the New England championships Nov. 10 in Cumberland.

formed to create – “A Maritime History of Bath, Maine and the Kennebec River Region” – in 1973.

Restoration of the Percy & Small ship-yard buildings began in 1975, the same year the organization changed its name to the Maine Maritime Museum.

As the museum collected artifacts, it also collected properties to expand its public outreach. It purchased land south of the Percy & Small site, which included the shipyard’s Mould Loft building, in 1980, and the Donnell House was donated in 1981. The museum’s current Maritime History Building, at 243 Washington St.

Amy Lent is executive director of the Maine Maritime Museum, which marks its 50th anniversary this month.

overlooking the Kennebec River, opened in 1989, and the institution’s library hold-ings and collection were moved there.

The museum’s 20-acre campus com-prises what once was 10 shipyards.

Executive Director Amy Lent, who has been with the museum since 2006, said Monday that attendance has held steady.

“This year, our attendance is better than it’s been in decades,” she said. “We’ve had a really great year.”

Visits were up 12 percent through the end of September, Lent said, adding that the museum is expected to end the year at 50,000 visitors.

The museum’s anniversary has had an impact on that upsurge, she suggested, along with some of the venue’s recent exhibits, like one showcasing the War of 1812. A grant from the Maine Office of Tourism funded marketing outside Maine, Lent said.

Visits this year from four tall ships also drew attention to the museum.

But two things make the museum unique, Lent said.

“It preserves the only intact shipyard where wooden ships were built,” she said. “There’s no other place in America where you can stand on the grounds and in the buildings of a shipyard where these ... massive wooden sailing ships were built.”

While there are other maritime mu-seums with rich maritime history, she continued, “we in Maine, and here at this site, have the opportunity to talk about an active maritime culture that still exists. ... The maritime culture is still a very, very big part of our day-to-day life, whether it’s shipbuilding, like at (Bath Iron Works), or boatbuilding of all kinds across the state, or fisheries.”

The effect of that intertwining of the past with the present and future is rec-ognized both at home and afar. Marine Insight, an international marine industry publication, recently named the Bath mu-suem one of the 10 best marine museums in the world.

The museum also recently received an award from Bath-based Sagadahoc Preser-vation for its work maintaining the Percy & Small shipyard, as well as a “Spirit of Bath” award from Main Street Bath.

“Maine Maritime Museum has been trying over the course of our 50th anni-versary year to really fill ... the footprint of our name,” Lent said. “... Making sure that we’re telling ... a larger story of all of Maine, not just Bath or the Mid-Coast, but really representing maritime history across the whole state.”

Maine Maritime Museum’s merger in 2010 with the financially strapped Port-land Harbor Museum, and absorption of that museum’s collections and member-ship, is part of that expanding outreach, Lent said.

But it remains important for Maine Maritime to remain connected to its home town, she said, adding that the museum is pleased that “the local community still feels like we’re here for them.”

“Ahead Full at Fifty: 50 Years of Col-lecting at Maine Maritime Museum” runs from Nov. 10 through May 26, 2013.Alex lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

ly, and former Maine House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate John Richardson will win the council’s at-large seat.

Chris McCarthy, Bath Iron Works director of integrated services, will take the School Board’s District 3 seat. School Board elections for an at-large post and the seat in Distict 4 are contested.

Town Clerk Frances Smith said that while there may be many factors at play to explain the lack of involvement, most people tend not to pay as much attention to municipal elections as they do presi-dential, gubernatorial or legislative races.

“I will say the further down the ballot, the less people vote,” Smith said.

But Councilor Ben Tucker noted there is a lot at stake on the town’s local bal-lot, most notably the quality of life for Brunswick residents – anything from the funding of local infrastructure and education, to the development of projects like Brunswick Landing or Maine Street Station.

“As state and federal government cut back spending ... that shifts the burden to the town. That’s the big reason people need to pay attention,” said Tucker, who won two uncontested elections in District 2 in 2007 and 2010. “That means we

need to stand up.”He said it’s especially important for

people to pay attention because a ma-jority of the town’s budget goes to the School Department, which can make a community like Brunswick attractive to families and businesses.

Town Council Chairwoman Joanne King said she is stepping down after 9 1/2 years of public service because she feels that many goals have been ac-complished, including the planning and development of a new police station.

“It’s been the experience of a lifetime,” said King, who will be replaced by politi-cal veteran Richardson.

She said there are several reasons why not as many people may run for town offices.

While some of the basic reasons may include councilors’ low annual stipend of $2,000 and the required time commit-ment, King said, it can also be the diffi-culty of keeping constituents happy and standing up for yourself at town meetings - especially if that means going against the popular vote.

“To stand up for what you believe in, I just think it’s difficult because of the way politics are in this town,” King said, which can make the prospects of serving in local government an intimidating task.

Jazz the focus of ‘American Songbook’ in PortlandBy Scott Andrews

Music from several countries, cultures and time frames is coming up in southern Maine.

This Friday, Bates College in Lewiston offers Europa Galante as part of its public concert series. Europa Galante is an ensem-ble that specializes in the Italian Baroque period of classical music.

The biggest show is in the Port City, where the Portland Symphony Orchestra switches to pops mode on Saturday and Sunday for a pair of concerts titled “Swing-in’ the American Songbook.” American jazz is the focus, with particular emphasis on the musical stylings of the 1920s through 1940s. Jazz singer Banu Gibson will be the featured performer, while guest conductor Keitaro Harada will wield the baton.

On Sunday evening, Portland Ovations presents Haitian singer-songwriter and guitarist BelO, known as his homeland’s socially conscious musical ambassador.

One Longfellow Square offers Portland-based singer-songwriter Eric Bettencourt; his distinctive gravelly voice will fill the intimate music room on Nov. 8. Catch him now, because he’s packing his guitar and motoring west to spend the next six months writing and playing in Austin, Texas.

Europa GalanteEuropa Galante is a globetrotting Ba-

roque ensemble that seldom visits Maine. So this Friday’s appearance at Bates Col-lege in Lewiston is an opportunity I don’t want to miss.

Europa Galante was founded in 1990 following the dream of its musical director, violinist Fabio Biondi, to create an Italian ensemble playing on period instruments and interpreting Baroque and classical repertoire.

The ensemble has a varying structure and often performs chamber music such as the string sonatas of Italian composers of the 17th century. This Friday’s program will

Frederic dupoux

focus on composers Antonio Vivaldi and C.P.E. Bach.

Europa Galante has appeared in many of the world’s most celebrated concert halls such as La Scala in Milan, Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Royal Albert Hall in London, Musikverein in Vienna, Lincoln Center in New York and the Sydney Opera House. The ensemble has toured throughout Australia, Japan, Europe, Canada, Israel, the U.S. and South America.

And now they’re schedule for the Olin Arts Center on the Bates College Campus in Lewiston at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2. Call 786-6135.

Portland Symphony OrchestraJazz is one of America’s most distinctive

contributions to the world’s musical culture, and a singer who has presented our coun-try’s jazz around the world will be featured this weekend when the Portland Symphony Orchestra swings into pops mode with a program titled “Swingin’ the American Songbook.”

Banu Gibson will be the featured art-ist. A swinging jazz singer, Gibson is one of the few vocalists of her generation to maintain exclusive loyalty to songs of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. A powerful force on stage, Gibson’s enthusiasm and show-manship are highlighted by her wide range and her ability to infuse new life into old standards.

With an extensive repertoire of songs, Gibson’s performances cover many high points of America’s golden age of popular music. Rather than mimic singers of the past, Gibson mixes fresh renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and jazz classics by George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Fats Waller, Cole Porter and others.

Gibson has performed abroad with New Orleans Hot Jazz in Germany, England, Holland, Norway, Sweden and Australia. Other highlights have been a week of per-

formances in Vienna and a tour of Japan with The World’s Greatest Jazz Band.

Gibson has expanded her audiences with pops programs for symphony orchestras, logging more than 60 concerts. She has taken this pops program to St. Louis, Cin-cinnati, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Tucson and San Diego. Perhaps her highest profile ap-pearances have been with the Boston Pops and a three-night booking at the Hollywood Bowl with John Mauceri and the Holly-wood Bowl Symphony Orchestra.

Gibson exercises creativity within the boundaries of the genre, consistently in-venting fresh and imaginative variations giving new life to timeless, unforgettable music.

Guest conductor Keitaro Harada, the music director of the Phoenix Youth Sym-phony Orchestra, is one of the world’s most exciting up-and-coming young maestros. Born in Tokyo and educated largely in this country, the 27-year-old’s formal training includes stints with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony. His practical experience ranges from performer (saxophone) to conductor in a variety of styles, including classical, opera, American musical theater and cabaret.

The Portland Symphony Orchestra pres-ents “Swingin’ the American Songbook” twice at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3 and 2:30 p.m. Nov. 4. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

BelOA socially conscious folk singer, hailed

as Haiti’s musical ambassador to the world, will be appearing this Sunday under the aegis of Portland Ovations.

Jean Murat Belony, known professionally as BelO, was born near Haiti’s capital and started singing at a very young age. BelO interprets ballads and other songs channel-ing his deep and diverse Afro-Caribbean

roots with the intriguing beats of reggae and the soul of R&B.

Active in many humanitarian efforts to rebuild Haiti, BelO inspires change at home and abroad with his powerful lyrics tackling hard-hitting themes focused around the destiny of Haiti’s children and rebuilding his country after the devastating earthquake of 2010.

Catch BelO at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Abromson Center for Community Educa-tion, 88 Bedford St. on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Eric BettencourtOne’s first impression of Eric Bettencourt

is the archetype of the purposefully dishev-eled singer-songwriter who’s perpetually in a creative and dynamic state of disarray. But when Bettencourt straps on his guitar and steps up the microphone to perform, his musical talent overwhelms the appearance – and causes southern Maine audiences to flock to his shows.

With a gift for melody and lyricism, keyed to his scratchy, gravelly voice – Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart come to mind here – Bettencourt has become a formidable force on the Port City Music scene, having recorded and released three CDs and currently working on the next one.

But the next album may not happen here. Bettencourt is looking for a change in phys-ical climate and heading west to the fertile musical climate of Austin, Texas, where he plans to spend the next six months. On Nov. 8 he’ll make his last pre-departure Portland appearance, promising to introduce a slew of new songs to his admirers and newfound friends.

Catch Eric Bettencourt’s “Goodbye For Now” show at 8 p.m. Nov. 8 at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland. Call 761-1757.

Votingfrom page 1


So far, 2,430 of more than 2,900 requested absentee ballots have been returned.

In Portland, City Clerk Katherine Jones said it is unlikely the total of more than 9,800 absentee ballot requests in 2008 would be surpassed this year.

Jones said there were more than 9,200 requests processed by Tuesday morning, with more than 6,800 ballots already re-turned. She estimated about 300 people per day were voting early at City Hall.

Even Monday morning, as clouds, rain and wind spreading from the tentacles of Hurricane Sandy reached Scarborough, Town Clerk Yolande Justice said foul weather was not deterring early voters.

By Monday morning, Justice said, al-most 4,100 absentee ballots were cast in the town of about 14,000 registered voters. Because Town Council chambers are used for polling, councilors canceled their Oct. 17 meeting, and public hearings on pro-posed zoning changes and Sanitary District rate increases were shifted to local schools.

Voter registration can continue through Election Day, but the earlier deadline to request absentee ballots or vote before the scheduled election could mean the 2008 total of 6,200 absentee ballots will not be eclipsed in Scarborough, Justice said.

In South Portland, the basement of City Hall has been a popular spot. City Clerk Sue Mooney reported in-person early vot-ing was within about 100 ballots of the 2008 total by the end of last week. Absen-tee ballots returned by mail were about 100 behind the 1,435 submitted in 2008.

In North Yarmouth, Town Clerk Debbie Grover’s statistics showed the number of eligible voters has remained fairly con-stant, ranging from 3,154 in 2008 to 3,182 in 2006 and 3,192 in 2010, but the 2008 election drew a 78 percent turnout with 800 absentee ballots counted. This year, with 3,037 eligible voters in town, Grover

said 507 absentee ballots were requested and 360 returned by early this week.

Requests for absentee ballots have also declined in Cumberland, but 1,223 of 1,512 requested absentee ballots have been cast in a town with 6,000 registered voters. The amount is more than the 1,199 re-quested in 2010, but fewer than the 2,083 requested in 2008.

Early and absentee voting in Freeport and Yarmouth is also unlikely to top 2008 totals, but has already surpassed the 2010 numbers. In Freeport, where there

are an estimated 6,200 registered voters, about 1,200 absentee ballots have been requested. That tops the 1,070 requested in 2010, but is well behind the nearly 2,000 requested in 2008.

In Yarmouth, 853 early and absentee ballots have been returned of more than 1,200 requested. Town Clerk Jennifer Doten estimated there are more than 7,000 registered voters in town. At the beginning of the week, requests for absentee ballots were about 1,000 fewer than 2008, but about 100 more than 2010.

Cape Elizabeth voters often arrived in surges to vote early or request absentee ballots, poll worker Margaret Davenport said, but Town Clerk Debra Lane’s sta-tistics make it unlikely the 2008 levels of about 3,700 absentee ballots received from 6,400 registered voters will be topped. By Monday the town had 2,100 requests for absentee ballots from the 7,600 registered voters.

Along the Mid-Coast, requests for and returns of absentee ballots has lagged in Bath, except from overseas and military voters, according to City Clerk Mary White. In 2012, there were 53 requests by overseas and military voters for ballots, as opposed to 12 such requests in 2010 and 18 in 2008. In total, the absentee ballot requests decreased to 868 so far (with 691 returned), a reduction from 1,064 in 2010 and 2,130 in 2008.

In Brunswick, where officials estimate there are almost 15,300 registered vot-ers, almost 3,800 absentee ballots were requested and almost 2,900 returned as of Monday. Town Clerk Fran Smith said she did not expect to receive as many absentee ballots as in 2008, when she processed more than 4,800. In 2010, more than 3,700 absentee ballots were processed.

In Topsham, almost 1,160 absentee bal-lots were distributed in a town with about 6,800 registered voters. Topsham Town Clerk Ruth Lyons said almost 900 ballot had been returned by Monday.

In Harpswell, about 20 percent of registered voters, or 800 of 4,000, have requested absentee ballots this year as of Monday afternoon. Town Clerk Rosalind Knight said 821 absentee ballots were re-turned in 2010 and more than 1,200 were returned in 2008. There were about 4,300 registered Harpswell voters in 2008 and about 4,100 in 2010.

Perreault said “it’s a lot of work for very little pay.”

“I think the reason a lot of people are not running for Town Council is because it’s a very hard job,” Perreault said, add-ing that sometimes the council has to deal with disappointed constituents on issues after they’ve been decided.

Wilson’s assessment was more blunt.“It’s a thankless job,” she said. “If you

have a good work ethic, you get very little for it because 95 percent of the

public doesn’t care about what we do. They’re not terribly engaged.”

In some cases, Tucker said, there are Town Council or School Board races that receive a lot of attention and get a lot of people to vote.

For instance, the council’s 2011 at-large seat, won by Councilor Benet Pols, was sought by three candidates. More than 6,000 people voted.

Pols said this year’s lack of contested races may just be the circumstances, since School Board member Matt Co-rey of District 3 decided not to seek re-election close to the time nomination

papers were due.He said the uncontested councilor at-

large election this year may be because no one wanted to challenge Richardson, who served several years in the Legis-lature and as the commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.

Richardson said that could definitely be the case.

“There were a couple of people who had considered, and I think once I put my name in it they didn’t decide to go forward,” he said.

He said he only decided to run after

King announced she was stepping down and people solicited him to be a candidate.

Tucker said he doesn’t think “it’s inherently bad” that there are few con-tested races this year, as long as there is a healthy rotation of incumbents and newcomers. But he said it would also be good if more people got involved.

“I would love more people to run for the council,” he said. “That would be great. The more people that are involved, the better it is for everyone.”

Downeasterfrom page 1

of 100 passengers a day will ride north of Portland, or about 30,000 or more a year.

“I do think we’ll have heavy ridership in November, December, with the holidays and it being a new service, people will be curious,” Updegraph said. “Once we hit January, it will be the real test.”

The train is making two round trips a day, with a third planned after an addition is made to the Brunswick station for train layovers.

Although the future impact is unclear, some business owners said they are already seeing new customers.

Dan Collins, owner of A B Cab in Freeport, said he’s had reservations booked for more than a week ahead of the new ser-vice for people planning getaways to area hotels and daytime shopping trips.

“It looks like it’s going to be an exciting time for Freeport and Brunswick,” Collins said, noting that he’ll have his cars ready to pick up passengers. “I don’t have any question at all that it’ll be bringing people to Freeport.”

Collins, who also worked on the Train Station Committee in Freeport and was riding the inaugural train Thursday, said a $100,000 advertising campaign by the rail authority in the Boston area has helped.

Freeport restaurant owner Dominic Petrillo, of Petrillo’s, directly across from the train station platform on Depot Street, said he is “pumped” to have the train stop-ping in Freeport. He said he hopes it not only brings people into town, but provides a way for local people to get out for the weekend.

“I think it’s going to be great for Main-ers,” he said.

Portland businesses have benefited – at least anecdotally – since the Downeaster began service between Boston and Portland in late 2001, according to Godfrey Wood, chief executive officer of the Portland Re-gional Chamber. But it’s hard to measure what the real impact has been.

“Certainly the ability to come to Portland by another method has helped businesses in greater Portland, but I can’t quantify how much,” Wood said, noting the train brings in customers for Maine’s largest industry: hospitality and service. “I don’t know what

the expectations really were, but I think as traffic has grown, it has helped put Portland on the map.”

Wood also said the Downeaster provides another way for people to commute to work in Boston and thinks people north of Port-land will welcome the extension.

“I’m really excited about the service and hope it will be extending further,” he said. “I think we’ll see the demand for it proven very quickly.”

Downeaster ridership has seen tremen-dous growth since its introduction, in-creasing by more than 15 percent in 2008 after additional stops were added, to about 530,000 passengers last year, making it the fastest-growing service for Amtrak in the na-tion, according to the regional rail authority.

Ridership appears to be on pace for an-other record year, according to NNEPRA, but scheduled track maintenance in Mas-sachusetts could depress the numbers.

Although many of the passengers who currently ride the Downeaster are headed south to Boston, businesses in Brunswick are betting on the extension to boost tour-ism in an area hit hard by the closure of Brunswick Naval Air Station in May 2011.

Debra King, executive director of the Brunswick Downtown Association, said there’s been a lot excitement about the Downeaster from the downtown community and that advertising has extended into the region.

“Local businesses have really come together and have some great offerings,” she said, referring to coupons, specials and Bowdoin College’s maps encouraging people to tour campus. “We want them to take advantage of being downtown and certainly put our best face forward.”

The town plans to have the church bells ringing to welcome the Downeaster, too, an old custom for trains servicing Brunswick, King said.

And although people are hopeful about what the train will bring to the town, King said people know only time will tell.

“I think it’s sort of cautious optimism,” she said. “We have no idea how many people we can expect on a regular basis. It’s sort of a ‘wait and see’ with big smiles on their faces.”

because they don’t have many options for day-to-day local news.

Killmeier said WCME’s most expensive cost will be labor, depending on how the station resources its news. He noted that even network radio stations often report stories that originate in newspapers.

But Bleikamp said he and his staff will try often to break news stories with original reporting. There will also be room for up-dates about missing pets, the station owner said, along with weather alerts.

“It will be actively gathered by us, and you will see us with our microphones and our small recorders around town,” he said.

And while Bleikamp considers WCME an adult station, he said he wants the station to have a broader reach.

“You ask me what the demographic target of this station is; I would tell you birth to death,” he said, “because this is the kind of station, by the virtue of its local orienta-tion, that everybody is going to want to use at some point. There will be something of interest to everybody.”

WCME first operated from 1955-1972 before going through a series of name, programming and ownership changes, Blei-kamp said. He said when he bought the 900 AM frequency back in 2009, he decided to reinstate the WCME call letters.

“I worked in radio my entire life in various situations: small markets, medium markets, large markets,” he said. “But to me, the core, the soul to radio is at the lo-cal level, and after spending my life taking orders from various bosses, I really a de-veloped a strong urge to do my own thing and this is it.”
