Fire-damaged building fuels discussion on casualty buildingsShould Brunswick require repair or demolition? By Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — Little has changed at 16-18 Oak St. since the back half of the apartment build-ing was claimed by a fire in April.

Charred roof beams still over-hang the sides of the building, and there is a gaping hole in the rear.

According to Code Enforce-ment Officer Jeffrey Hutchinson, the building’s owner, Jeffrey Matthews, who could not be reached for comment, is negotiat-ing a settlement with his insurance company. But until then, as long as the building is secure, there is little else the town can do.

But that’s not the case every-

Sweet spotJudith Stanton, Harpswell’s honey maker

By Emily GuerinHARPSWELL — The days

leading up to her visit to the hives at Two Coves Farm had been rainy and cold, so bee-keeper Judith Stanton wasn’t expecting to see the bees fly-ing at all.

But as she made her way across the field, veil secured and smoker in hand, she saw

the bees were crawling in and out of the hives, their furry legs coated in orange pollen. She peeked inside the lid and set it back down.

“They’re just the most fas-cinating organism anywhere,” she said. “When I’m working in a hive, time kind of just

Harpswell removes restriction on public commentsBy Emily Guerin

HARPSWELL — Three months after banning discussion of School Administrative District 75 during public comment at Board of Selectmen meetings, elected officials have redrafted the town’s policy so a content-based ban on public comment will not be possible in the future.

The latest amendment to the town’s public comment policy, the seventh since 2004, elimi-nated a clause that some, includ-ing the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine, believed pre-vented the public’s freedom of expression.

The clause said “it is neither the purpose nor the intent of

Public Comment to provide an arena for the repeated airing of views on on-going controversial topics unless and until such time as a topic presents a question requiring immediate action or a decision by the Board of Se-lectmen, at which time the issue will be placed upon the agenda.”

Citing that clause, Chairman

Elinor Multer and Selectman Alison Hawkes voted on July 7 to ban discussion of the town’s relationship with SAD 75. The ban irked not only Selectman Jim Henderson, who voted against it, but several town resi-dents and a lawyer representing the Maine ACLU.

Zachary Heiden, legal director

of the civil liberties group, wrote to the selectmen on Aug. 30, informing them that “the power to limit speech based on the con-tent of the speech is inconsistent with the First Amendment,” and encouraged them to reform their policy.

Bath applauds local heroes on Citizen Involvement DayBy Alex Lear

BATH — The city continued its annual tradition of honoring key community mem-bers Oct. 8 with Citizen Involvement Day, held during Autumnfest.

Unsung Hero: Christine Detroy, living outside the linesBy David Treadwell

BRUNSWICK — “People don’t see what I see,” Christine Detroy said, shortly after greeting a visitor to her art studio on the second floor of Fort Andross.

One look at the colorful creations that adorn her space confirmed the wisdom of her words.

Over there is a jacket made of colorful swatches of old draperies and discarded theatrical costumes. And there’s another. And another. Each one unique, different, compelling.

On the other side, several pillows sit on a shelf, featuring different vintage scenes. A tall piece of driftwood stands in a corner, a Popham Beach find converted into a stately

sculpture. And there’s a hat with something snake-like curling up from the top. (Turns out it isn’t just “snake-like,” it’s an actual snakeskin.)

Here’s the deal: Every single thing in this space was created from something old or discarded, and crafted into something new and intriguing.

“I like things that are old and worn,” Detroy said. Her enthusiasm reflects her passion for converting life’s castoffs into art: “Isn’t that great?” “Don’t you love it?” And on and on.

Detroy, who’s sporting one of her own creations, isn’t being boastful. She seems to derive deep joy from the beauty all around, from the things most of us pass by with nary a thought.

And here’s the other deal: For more than 20 years, Detroy has labored at an occupa-tion that belies her special talent: cleaning lady.

“I’ve been cleaning so long, I’m starting

to get arthritis,” she said. “I can’t stand or kneel to vacuum so I kind of sit sideways, like the girl in (Andrew Wyeth’s painting,) ‘Christina’s World.’”

Detroy stresses that she isn’t your ordi-nary house cleaner. “I do it the old-style way, being thorough, taking my time. And I try to lift people’s spirits.” (Full disclo-sure: Detroy cleans two houses for my wife and me; and yes, she lifts our spirits.)

Where did this artist/house cleaner/hip-pie/philosopher come from? Well, Detroy’s is a long story, with stops in Indiana, Il-linois, Washington, Connecticut, Florida, Canada and Maine. She succumbed, no surprise, to the allures of the hippie culture, and she did lots of soul-searching. Waitress jobs paid most of the bills.

Brunswick Landing businesses have little trouble hiringBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — The latest in a se-ries of federal grants aimed at boosting economic development efforts at Bruns-wick Landing – $5 million from the U.S. Department of Labor – was designed to train unemployed high-tech workers.

The grant, issued to Coastal Counties Workforce, was announced last week. It will be used to offset the costs of on-the-

job training for many Brunswick Landing businesses, allowing them to hire more local residents.

But several of the largest businesses at Brunswick Landing say they haven’t had trouble hiring local people at all, al-though they acknowledged they have had to look elsewhere for some employees.

According to figures supplied by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Au-thority, the public agency charged with redeveloping the former Brunswick Na-val Air Station, just under 100 jobs have been created as of Sept. 20.

American Bureau of Shipping, a Texas-based provider of marine and offshore classification services, is responsible for adding 22 of those jobs, and representa-tive Jennifer Buley said 18 of them were

filled by Mainers. The company has pro-jected it will create a total of 30 jobs in the next three years.

She said resumes began to pile up as soon as the company announced it was moving to Brunswick in April.

“We got such a tremendous response for applicants, I don’t know that we had to extend a lot of energy looking for peo-ple,” Buley said. “I think we pretty much hired from the direct responses we got.”

Another Brunswick Landing business, cyber security company Resilient Tier-V Corp., has tapped into Goodwill Work-force Solutions for eight of its recent

Brunswick board advances strategic plan for schoolsBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — The School Board is moving forward with plans to commis-sion a long-range strategic plan.

The board is seeking requests for pro-posals from consulting firms to create a five-year plan for the School Department that will describe where the schools are today, document where various stake-holders would like to go in the future, and provide ways to measure progress towards those goals.

Board member Michele Joyce on Wednesday said the plan would give the public an opportunity to share their priorities.

“If we’re going to look at things like ... single gender classes, or any magnet school possibilities, if we don’t get some buy in or feedback from the public, then we’re not going to know if that’s some-thing that parents value,” Joyce said.

Chairman Corinne Perreault said she hoped that highlighting the community’s

priorities would help influence budget discussions. She said every year the board asks itself what to spend money on, and the answer is usually dictated by how much money is available.

But member Michelle Small wondered how much the plan could accomplish, given that the board only has $25,000 to spend on a consultant.

“I don’t think we can get this much work for $25,000,” Small said.

Other members acknowledged that

they may need to spend more on the plan in upcoming years.

Member Janet Connors was skeptical of the entire process.

“I just want everyone to understand that the town of Brunswick has in fact spent an exorbitant amount of money and time to create exactly what we’re

4 candidates for 3 Topsham seats on SAD 75 boardBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Four candidates are running for three Topsham seats on the School Administrative District 75 Board of Directors in the November election.

Incumbents Jane Scease of Western Av-enue and James Cusano of Amanda Drive face challenges from Jeffrey Wolkens of Meadow Road and James Connors of Augusta Road.

Director Roland Tufts has chosen not to run again for the three-year seat.

James ConnersConners, 69, is married and has 12

children and 20 grandchildren. He has lived in Topsham for 25 years.

Before his retire-ment he taught voca-tional building con-struction at Lewiston Regional Technical Center for 21 years, and prior to that he taught at Lisbon High School and was a carpenter.

Connors also taught night school at Maine Region 10 Technical High School

in Brunswick, which serves students from Brunswick, SAD 75 and Freeport.

“I have been in the schools from sev-enth grade to 12th grade, and I’ve also done a lot of night school with adults, and I thought I might just have something to contribute when it comes to making some decisions,” Conners said.

He said he is interested in students hav-ing the opportunity to learn something that is useful to them, “and it may be go-ing to college, and it may be vocational, it may be an apprenticeship. I think there are several different routes that are appli-cable today, and I don’t if they’re being made available to students.”

Conners noted that he and his wife had successfully raised a large family.

“I think being a parent is a great learn-ing experience, because you take children from birth all the way up to a certain age, and you just learn a lot about what kids need and how they function, how they work,” he said. “And you also learn that there’s such a variety, and that one thing doesn’t work with them all. And I think that applies to schooling.”

James CusanoCusano, 45, is married and has three

children. He has lived in Topsham for four years and is a vice president of retail sales strategy with TD Bank.

Although this is Cusano’s first cam-paign for election to the board, he has twice filled vacancies created when board members did not finish their terms, most recently for Claudia Beckwith, who re-signed in December 2010.

“I’ve always been interested in taking part (in) the direction of the schools in the community,” he said. “Obviously having children in the school district, you have a little bit more interest in seeing the curriculum and the various activities.”

Cusano said he believes everyone in the community is concerned about the way state funding has been reduced, and the impact those cuts can have on SAD 75’s mission statement and how it edu-cates children in the district.

“It’s a challenging time,” he said, “but sometimes the best challenges bring out the best opportunities.”

Cusano said he is passionate about the issues SAD 75 faces. “I clearly have a vested interest in how we run our schools,” he said, “and I think it’s important that we include the voice of all students.”

He said there is “great work” being done on SAD 75’s committees and in its schools, “and I would advise everyone in the community to come out and get more involved. ... Whether I get elected, or another very qualified individual does, the main thing is that we have dedicated and passionate people on the board.”

Jane SceaseScease, 75, has six children and

nine grandchildren. Now retired, she spent nearly 30 years as a medical social worker for the U.S. Department of Veter-ans Affairs in Maine, Texas and Washing-ton.

Scease moved to Topsham in 1998, has served one term on the School Board, and was on the Board of Selectmen from 2001-2007.

“I think that education is one of the most serious functions of government,” Scease said. “And I’m very interested in having our children receive the best education that they can.”

She said “we make the case ... to people that it’s really important for them to invest in education. ... It’s the one investment that we really need to make for the future.”

Scease was elected Sagadahoc County treasurer last fall, and she serves on the Topsham Housing Authority, the Greater

She said she is dedicated to the cause of education and recognizes the issues involved with funding public education.

“In these days of budget challenges, it’s really important that we be very responsible in managing our schools,” Scease said.

Jeffrey WolkensWolkens, 47, is married and has two

children. He has lived in Topsham 11 years and works in inventory control at Staples in Brunswick.

“I’ve seen a lot of things progress basically backwards instead of forward, and I’m kind of (one of) those types that thinks that a parent needs to be more involved on the (School) Board,” Wolkens said. “Of course, we’re always asked about being involved in our kids’ education, and I agree.”

Wolkens said he would prefer to see fewer “outside influences” in the class-room setting. “They’re always working on the kids when it comes to their social skills ... but they’re not spending as much time on the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, and that type of thing,” he said.

He said he has seen more evidence of this with his 9-year-old son than he did with his 21-year-old son. “I’d like to see a little less of all the outside stuff that re-ally the family and the parents should be handling,” Wolkens said.

He said he offers “a basic perspective

on education,” noting that “you spend a lot of hours with your kids, and you’d like to be able to see them come home and show you what they’ve learned for the day, instead of having you try to fig-ure out what it is you have to teach them for the day.”

Wolkens has been a Sunday school superintendent with the East Brunswick Baptist Church for 15 years, and he is ac-tive in the Sagadahoc County Republican Committee.

Changes proposed in rules on student restraintBy Emily Parkhurst

AUGUSTA — After nearly nine months of work, a group of special education professionals, school principals, disability rights advocates and parents has sent rule changes on the restraint and seclusion of school children to the Maine Department of Education.

The DOE will review the proposals and then send its version to the education commissioner and the state Legislature for approval.

The stakeholder group has proposed that the word “therapeutic” be struck entirely from the rules, which now refer to “thera-peutic restraint.”

“You do a restraint when it’s necessary. Being therapeutic is not its job,” said Dis-ability Rights Center attorney Diane Smith Howard.

The term “time-out” will also no longer be

synonymous with “seclusion,” if the group’s recommendations are adopted. The changes would define seclusion as involuntary, while a time-out would be when a student complies with an adult’s request to take a break.

The rules would also prohibit airway-restrictive restraints, which were addressed in two administrative letters to all Maine schools, but which an investigation last year by The Forecaster found was not represent-ed in many schools’ policies and in some cases not being observed by school staff.

The new rules would also require a nurse to examine a child he or she has been restrained, and require parents be notified annually of a school’s policy on the use of restraint and seclusion.

“What we’ve got here is pretty fantastic,” Smith Howard said of the proposed rule changes. “It’s better than a majority of other states.”

However, she said she would have liked to have seen the new rules prohibit schools from including restraint in a student’s in-dividual education plan, or IEP. Currently, schools can include restraint as part of a student’s plan, and Smith Howard said that can result in “planned” restraints, some-thing disability rights advocates would like to see disappear.

Some members of the stakeholder group also fought to include reporting require-ments, which would have schools report the number of restraints performed and how many students were restrained every year.

“So, that way (the DOE) could figure out, does a school have a problem, and if it is a problem, why is that the case,” Smith Howard said.

Currently, Maine schools are not required to report any data about restraint and seclu-sion of students. Other states, such as Con-necticut and Texas, do require this kind of reporting.

Smith Howard said the members of the stakeholder group supported the reporting requirements, but that the DOE did not want to require it. She said her group would lobby the Legislature to include the require-ment in the rules it will review and ulti-mately approve, likely in the next session.

The DRC, which frequently represents parents when they file a complaint about the use of restraint and seclusion, also pushed to include a formal complaint process in the new rules.

“We’ve had 50 complaints in the last two years,” Smith Howard said, adding that in the past two weeks alone the DRC has

received six restraint- or seclusion-related complaints from parents.

She pointed to budget cuts, which have forced districts to lay off the ed techs who work one-on-one with disabled students or those with behavior problems, as part of the problem.

Deb Davis, a Falmouth resident, stake-holder group member and parent of a child who experienced seclusion and restraint, said she has had several parents call her since she began advocating for students.

“In one story, a mom’s son was in se-clusion for five hours,” Davis said. “Even though it’s not in the news, it’s happening every day. There are kids being hurt.”

She said she is cautiously optimistic that the DOE will accept the recommendations the group put together.

“I do think we worked really hard to protect kids,” Davis said.

Once the DOE puts together its proposed changes and presents them to the education commissioner, the public will have 30 days to comment before a legislative committee takes up the issue.

DOE spokesman David Connerty-Marin said the department is not ready to com-ment on the proposed changes, since the stakeholder group only finished meeting last week.

However, he said there would be multiple public hearings, probably in November and December, on the rule changes before they’re sent to the Legislature, followed by legislative hearings next year.

Watson for Brunswick Town Council

I really hope the citizens of Brunswick give Byron Watson a chance at the Town Coun-cil. He’s an educated man who will not tolerate the shortcomings that we currently see in local government. He’ll work hard to repair and restore the community’s faith in the local government.

Byron is not swayed by the popular vote; he fights for what is just and right.

I have worked indirectly with Byron for a few years and he’s always easy to communicate with. He has no problem relating to a successful business owner or a la-borer from a job crew. He is always prompt in assisting with whatever he is able to help with. Byron also has a great sense of humor and can make the most tedious task

enjoyable just in the way he acts and reacts.If Brunswick wants positive change instead of the

“same old, same old,” vote for Byron Watson.Sarah M. Nash

Edgar Allen Beem’s column, “Worried about wireless,” is just

plain wrong. He talks about, “individual sensitivity to radio frequency exposure.” We have had radio transmit-ters since around 1890, about 120 years now. In that time nobody has ever been proved to be sensitive to “radio frequency exposure.” There are people who claim to be sensitive, but claiming is one thing, proving it is another. If you put a person claiming to be sensitive in one room and in another room you transmit at random

times, the person will not be able to tell you when the transmitter is on. End of debate.

Once you understand that there is no such thing as radio transmission sensitivity and that there are no valid health risks, all the arguments against smart meters fade away.

I also do not agree with Beem’s assertion that people who opt out of the program should not have to pay extra. Quite the contrary, I feel they should pay more. I think the PUC should require CMP to tally up the costs each year for all the meter readers, their vehicles, their benefits, etc. The total cost should then be divided by the opt-outs number and that cost should be added to their bills. I also suggest that the possible hundreds of thousands of dollars CMP wasted defending the smart meter program for the past year should also be passed along to the opt-outs.

The apple doesn’t fall very farRecently, as I was taking one of my long and me-

andering beach walks, I found myself enshrouded in fog, and sooner than anticipated – darkness. As usual, I was barefoot (my favorite state of being, although not with the “and pregnant” part at-tached).

As I headed back in the direction of my car, toe-deep in the Atlantic, with neither an actual flash-light or newly down-loaded iPhone “flashlight app” to assist in my navigation, I came upon what appeared in gray evening shadows to be a minefield of beach rocks, stretching on endlessly. And I said aloud to my naked feet, “Ouch. This is going to hurt. How did I get us into this predica-ment?”

When I’d arrived at sunset, I’d circumvented the

large expanses of rocks that littered the beach. But now here I was in the darkness, up against a sea of stone, with no apparent way out. But as I began to walk, I noticed that what once appeared to be a solid mass of rocks wasn’t; the spaces of soft sand in between were more abundant and frequent than they looked from a distance. And in the gray light of a non-existent moon, I realized that if I focused on each footstep, I would reach my destination.

And what seemed at first to be an impossible task, wasn’t. And as I kept my attention on the present moment rather than on the thousands of cold, hard obstacles that lay between myself and my automo-bile, I realized the “obstacle” was an illusion.

And it struck me that in life, we fall prey to the same thing, but on a larger scale. When we are dealt a tough hand, when we peer into the future, it often appears daunting, even impossible. We wonder how we’ll make it. We wonder how we’ll survive. And sometimes, we want to give up.

Eleven days after my foggy and enlightening beach walk, I accomplished a huge goal: I penned the final words to my first book, “The Irreverent Widow.” All 12 tweaked chapters were sent off into the ether, to my editor, 3,000 miles away. My love, my tears, my laughter, my lessons. It was not merely the culmination of much hard work, but the end of a chapter of my life. My widowhood chapter.

I’d set a goal for myself: to have this first book completed and off to my editor before my October birthday.

And so, four days before my self-imposed dead-line, I’d done it.

This made me smile, and do a little (OK, big!) happy dance. It also made me weep. Because when you actually keep your promises to yourself – when

you make your dreams a reality – it can be over-whelming.

A celebration was in order, and shortly after hitting “send” on my MacBook and launching all 70,271 words into cyberspace, I was en route to meet with a friend. Walking back into my kitchen two hours later, I was greeted by a glum-looking Harold and Charles, who spewed forth the news that the Apple computer legend, Steve Jobs, had died.

Now, it’s not as if we were really tight with Steve. He didn’t pop in for dinner when he was on the East Coast. But it somehow felt that way. Maybe it was the fact that, like Drew, he had died of pancreatic cancer. Maybe it was that every word I’d written since being widowed had been on a Mac. Maybe it’s because they were both too young. Too full of creativity. Too full of life to have left this earth.

All I know is, tears filled my eyes.The realization that I’d finished my book on the

same day that the man who was the genius behind the computer upon which I’d typed every single word had breathed his last breath filled me with a knowing. That we are all connected. Intertwined.

And like my walk on that stony beach, our path toward our future isn’t as impossible as it may sometimes appear. And if we look for the sand in between the stones, and take one small step at a time, we can reach our destiny.

Public spirit on Scarborough BeachScarborough Beach is my favorite place in all the

world. I started going there 50 years ago when old Mrs. Jordan used to sit by the rickety bridge in her beach wagon collecting parking fees. Look for my ashes to wash up on the sands there one of these days. I do not take threats to it lightly.

So you might assume I’d be opposed to the Black Point Beach Park the Sprague Corp. has proposed there. I am not. Quite to the contrary, I applaud the public-spiritedness of the Sprague Corp. in offer-ing to create more and better public access to the most beautiful beach in Maine.

The Black Point Beach Park proposal has been met with predict-able NIMBYism from self-interested neighbors, the condo dwellers of the Atlantic House com-plex and the old money cottagers of the Prouts Neck summer colony. But the unwashed public, you and me, should be thrilled and grateful that public access may continue to trump private privilege on Scarborough Beach.

The Sprague Corp., 68 descendants of Phineas W. Sprague and their spouses, own 2,200 acres along the Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough shore and, to their everlasting credit, they are willing to share it. Crescent Beach State Park was created on Sprague land back in 1960. For years, Scarborough Beach State Park was just a 66-foot strip of state-owned land that gave access to beach actually owned by the Sprague family. Since 1993, the Sprague Corp. has managed the state park and, in 1999, it sold the park to the state.

Anyone who, like myself, has a season pass to Scarborough Beach knows that the parking shortage and resultant traffic backup on Black Point Road has become an issue on hot summer days in recent years. The upper lot fills, the lower lot fills, the overflow lot across the street fills, and, when the 410 parking spots are full, cars cue up along the busy road to wait their turn.

To alleviate this problem, the Sprague Corp. pro-posed a 370-car grass lot with snack bar and bath-rooms on 62 acres just north of Scarborough Beach State Park. The town granted the special exemption

permit required and was promptly sued by the furious forces of the status quo.

Opponents of the park would have us believe they are concerned about preserving habitat for piping plo-ver and New England cottontails, but there are no rab-bits on that parcel of land now and no plovers nested on Scarborough Beach last year. What opponents are really concerned about is preserving their privacy and privilege. I was once thrown out of Prouts Neck by an old battle-ax who was the self-appointed defender of this privacy and privilege, so I know whereof I speak.

The Sprague Corp. could have proposed building a dozen homes or two dozen condos on its land, a far more lucrative way to go and one we can assume the Atlantic House and Prouts Neck gentry would have applauded. Instead, the Spragues, traitors to their class, proposed a public park.

From where I sit (in a beach chair to the left of the beach path and to the right of the lifeguard tower) it looks as though everyone will win when Black Point Beach Park is approved, except perhaps the NIMBY neighbors.

The public will get more and better access to a very special place. The town will see its Comprehensive Plan, which calls for more shoreland access, realized. The Sprague Corp. will get a revenue stream to help maintain their property holdings that, in turn, preserve open space. And the folks at Prouts Neck will see traf-fic congestion along Black Point Road relieved.

The farmer who tills the Sprague land will gain a source of water that will open up more Sprague fields to cultivation. The piping plovers, should they return to nest, will benefit from greater management and the prohibition against dogs that will come with the park. And the New England cottontails will have three acres of habit restored, though a whole herd of them seem quite content, thank you very much, living on Sprague land just across the Spurwink River in Cape Elizabeth.

Hats off to the Sprague family. In a day and age when the common good is regularly rejected and ridiculed by the self-satisfied, self-important, self-in-terested squires of the status quo, the Spragues (at least the branch of the family that inherited Phineas W.’s land) have remained civic-minded, public-spirited and willing to share the wealth.

Cumberland County candidate opposes bond issue

I intend to vote no on the Cumberland County Civic Center bond question on Nov. 8. As a former county Budget Committee member, I have read the studies and have been given the “backstage tour” at the center.

Although I be-lieve the pro-posal and plans are responsibly designed, I do not believe this is a good time

to add debt on the taxpayers for non-essential items. Borrowing $33 million (plus up to $22 million in in-terest) over 25 years is a price tag that I do not believe most people are prepared for.

I can imagine situations where I could support the improvements. There could be a more modest proposal, the recovery could improve where we could afford it, or the city of Portland might be willing to pay for a larger portion of the renovations.

In any case, the citizens of the county will decide this issue. If I am privileged to be elected county com-missioner for the new Third District, I will follow the instructions of the voters.

Buckle up, playoffs right around the cornerEven though we were treated

to a delicious taste of summer in recent days, the fall sports season is coming to a close.

Golf is in the process of deter-mining its team and individual champs, field hockey’s regular season expired at press time, while soccer, cross country and football will soon follow suit.

Here’s where things stand as we approach the middle of October:

GolfBrunswick’s golf team came

in seventh at the Class A state match Monday at Natanis Golf

Saturday.

RogeR S. Duncan / FoR The FoRecaSTeRMorse’s Michael Freeman delivers a hit on Old Town’s Dan Rivers during Saturday’s victory. The Shipbuilders balanced their record at 3-3 with their

second straight win.

Silverman enjoys runs of dominance

conTRIbuTeDBrunswick’s Maisie Silverman entered four tournaments in single and one in doubles this past summer and won three open singles crowns,

was a finalist in the other, and won her doubles tournament. Silverman took the women’s championship in the MTA major championships, the Debevoise Memorial in South Portland and Summer’s End Classic. She

was a finalist in the Betty Blakeman Memorial and won the women’s open doubles.

Course in Vassalboro. The Drag-ons shot a 355, but finished be-hind champion Falmouth (312), Cheverus (331), Deering (332), Scarborough (336), Gorham (337) and Bangor (349).

FootballBrunswick’s football team

continues to excel. The Dragons extended their win streak to five games last Friday by holding off visiting Messalonskee, 20-14. Brunswick (tied with Bangor for second in the latest Eastern Class A Crabtree Points stand-ings) plays host to Oxford Hills Friday and will try not to look

forward to the following week-end’s showdown at top-ranked Lawrence.

Mt. Ararat dropped to 0-6 and (10th in the Crabtrees) with a 42-6 loss at Edward Little Fri-day. The Eagles welcome Mes-salonskee Friday.

In Eastern B, Morse won its second straight last weekend, 52-28, over visiting Old Town. The Shipbuilders are seventh in the Crabtrees and go to Mt. Blue Friday.

Boys’ soccerThe Mt. Ararat boys’ soccer

team has fallen from the top spot in the Eastern A Heals after a 3-2 home loss to new No. 1 Lewiston last week. The Eagles did improve to 7-1-3 Friday after a 2-0 win at Oxford Hills. Mt. Ararat hosted Bruns-wick Tuesday, goes to defend-ing Class A champion Bangor Saturday and closes the regular season at home against Edward Little next Tuesday.

Brunswick took a 4-3-3 mark and the No. 8 spot in the Heals into Tuesday’s game at Mt. Ara-rat. After hosting Oxford Hills Wednesday, the Dragons visit Edward Little Friday and close home with Lewiston Tuesday of next week.

In Western B, Morse was 7-3-1 and fourth in the Heals at the start of the week. Last week, the Shipbuilders won twice at home last week, 2-1, over Leavitt and 1-0 over Lincoln. Aaron Lapointe and Cory Snyder (the winner, with 40 seconds left) scored against the Hornets.

“I give Leavitt a lot of credit for playing throughout and tak-ing advantage of one of our few miscues to get the tying goal in the second half,” said Morse coach Tom Rackmales. “After that it was anyone’s game, with them hitting the post with 10 minutes left and Cody creating that huge winner for us. After a couple of tough losses, we’re happy to pull off this big win.”

The Shipbuilders were at Medomak Wednesday, host Winslow Friday and close at Maranacook Tuesday of next week.

Girls’ soccerOn the girls’ side, Morse

continues to dazzle. The Ship-builders began the week first in the Western B Heals with a 10-0 mark after punishing host Lincoln Friday, 11-0. Tori Field scored a whopping seven goals to lead the way. Morse was at Leavitt Tuesday, hosted Medomak Wednesday, plays at Winslow Friday and hosts Ma-

ranacook Tuesday of next week.In Eastern A, Brunswick is up

to second behind Bangor in the standings after Thursday’s 6-1 win at Hampden. The Dragons hosted Mt. Ararat Tuesday, visited Oxford Hills Wednes-day, play host to Edward Little Saturday and close at Lewiston Tuesday of next week.

Mt. Ararat began the week 8-2-1 and fifth after a 2-0 win at Lewiston and a 1-0 home loss to Oxford Hills last week. Haley Michaud had both goals in the victory. The Eagles visited Brunswick Tuesday, play host to Bangor Saturday and close at Edward Little Tuesday of next week.

Field hockeyMt. Ararat remains the lone

field hockey team in line for a playoff berth as the regular season winds down. The Eagles lost, 1-0, at home to Edward Little and tied hosted Lewiston, 2-2, last week. Mt. Ararat was clinging to the eighth and final spot entering Tuesday’s finale at Brunswick.

The Dragons had a chance to leapfrog the Eagles if they won that game. Brunswick was 3-9-1 and ninth entering the game after a 4-2 loss at Skowhegan and its first win of the year, 1-0, at home over Cony, last week.

In Western B, Morse was

Emily GuErin / ThE ForEcasTErField bees enter the hive after foraging for

pollen and nectar.

stands still, gets suspended. It’s a very peaceful thing to do.”

Although the bees were still out collecting the last of the season’s nectar and pollen, Stanton is done harvesting honey for the year because flowers are growing scarce. The bees’ final offering, collected in early fall, is now on sale at the Vegetable Corner on Harpswell Neck Road in the jars labeled “Harpswell Honey: made by the hardwork-ing honey bees of Harpswell Neck.”

Stanton, who divides her time between New Jersey and Harpswell, began keeping bees seven years ago, a decision she said was inspired by trips to her relatives’ farms as a child.

“I just liked the idea of taking care of ani-mals ... and I’ve never had enough property to do sheep or goats,” she said.

As a gardener, bee behavior appealed to her. She admired the pollination aspect of their work.

So she started reading up about bee keep-ing and found a mentor in New Jersey who had dozens of hives.

Soon enough she had her own, although her first year as bee keeper was not without mistakes.

“The first year that you have a hive you really shouldn’t take any honey off of it,” she explained, because the bees might not have produced enough honey yet to feed them throughout the winter.

“It’s really hard to do, it’s really tempt-ing,” she said. “I did it when I was a begin-ner and my bees died.”

Stanton is more experienced now, and it shows. She knows how to avoid getting stung (don’t bump the hive or eat bananas before bee keeping), and what to do if it happens (puff smoke on the area or rub it with grass to disperse the pheromones bees

release when irritated).She has increased the number of hives

she keeps to 15, which are spread through-out Harpswell Neck on farms, near flower gardens or in fields. They are about two miles apart, far enough so she can create new hives from existing ones without risk-ing that the bees will flying back to their original home.

She finds that people are always shocked to learn that each hive has about 60,000 bees, a number that seems more reason-able when you consider that 400 bees fit in a half cup.

“It sounds like so many bees because you don’t see most of them, all you see are the field bees,” which are nearing the end of their life cycle and are tasked with collect-ing pollen and nectar.

This summer Stanton’s 900,000 bees yielded about 100 pounds of honey. Not that much, she acknowledged, because only three of her hives were producing and she only started selling honey late in the season – her first venture into the commercial side of beekeeping.

She offered customers two “varietals”: a pale, early spring honey and an auburn autumn harvest. The color depends on the kinds of flowers the pollen came from.

Late-summer honey is made of goldenrod and aster pollen, while the spring season yields clover, apple and raspberry.

At nearly $6 a pound, Harpswell Honey is more expensive than generic honey from the grocery store. But Stanton said it’s worth the price.

“When you buy ... at the grocery store, that honey’s from all over the United States. Most of it’s from big, really big commercial bee keepers,” she said, who make a living driving their bees to various orchards to pollenate fruit trees or berries. “Because

they’re so big and they have all these bees to manage, they could be treating them with antibiotics. You don’t really know what’s in that honey.”

Not so with small-scale producers.“If you get local honey and you know

the beekeeper and you know what the beekeeper’s doing,” Stanton said, “at least you know where your bees are foraging and (where) your honey is coming from.”

Which, for Harpswell residents, is right down the road.

Retail or Resale: Can you tell the difference?Shoppers with an eye on Monolo

Blahnik shoes or a Louis Vuitton handbag may want to turn to consignment stores to realize good deals on designer duds. Con-signment stores are surging in popularity all across the country. Many look the same as mainstream retailers and are taking a chunk of their business profits, too.

Consignment stores no longer carry the stigma they once did. Instead of grandma prints and last, last, last seasons’ styles, fashion-forward shops now offer a selec-tion of gently used brand-name and very often designer merchandise to a discerning clientele of shoppers. A shopper may even be able to find new items straight from a manufacturer’s warehouse.

VintageSecond-Hand

Consignment&Consignment shop innovators, such as

DoubleTake (edoubletake.com), a grow-ing chain of consignment stores on the East Coast, regularly receive merchandise directly from designers, the wardrobe de-partments of television shows, and from socialites and fashionistas across the coun-try. Says owner/operator Marci Kessler, who has been in the consignment business for more than 20 years, “I never anticipated such an overwhelming response. From day one we’ve had a steady continuous stream of beautiful designer merchandise that comes from people in every imagin-able situation, and because we have such a high turnover rate through fast sales in our stores, we’ve built up a base of over 10,000 regular consignors.”

What is the draw to consignment? For shoppers, it’s the ability to get very good

quality merchandise at a discounted price. Typically, consigned items will sell for 25 to 50 percent of the original retail value, although each store varies in their policy. Some stores will continue to mark down items the longer they’re in the shop.

For sellers, consignment stores offer the opportunity to have their merchandise on display and receive a portion of the profits. Most stores will sell consigned items and split the profits at 40 to 60 percent. This can make it easy for individuals with closets full of items that are not in use to make some extra money.

“Many women in the fashion industry or socialites need to turn over their wardrobes frequently,” offers Kessler. “These people would rather make some money than have items sit in their closets.”

Marci Kessler of DoubleTake inspects designer clothing and accessories for a prospective client as part of the company’s “consignment concierge” service.

Consignment stores are big business. According to the Association of Resale Professionals, there are currently more than 30,000 resale, consignment and thrift shops in the United States. The industry has also experienced a growth --approximately 7 percent a year for the past two years. Plus, with real estate prices at all-time lows, many enterprising people are taking advan-tage of low rents and opening up consign-ment stores all across the country.

Don’t think consignment stores are glo-rified yard sales, either. Most stores will not accept items that are out-of-date or too much out of season. Some shops won’t carry merchandise that is older than two years old.

In this economy, many people are look-ing to make or save money. Consignment stores can offer the best of both worlds.

Top picks: Laura Kargul and ‘Sleepy Hollow’By Scott Andrews

The fall season’s artistic offerings continue in full force this week with a variety of happenings. My personal pick of this weekend’s events is the annual October appearance of classical pianist Laura Kargul, a longtime professor at the University of Southern Maine School of Music. She’s appearing this Friday in Gorham in the Spotlight Series, which features the school’s faculty.

Portland Ballet will reprise one of its original terpsichorean creations on Satur-day with two performances of “The Leg-end of Sleepy Hollow” at a new venue, the Westbrook Performing Arts Center.

Denny Breau, a 10-time honoree of the Maine Country Music Association and the youngest inductee of the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame, will per-form Saturday in an archetypal country venue: the Saco River Grange Hall in Bar Mills.

Laura KargulAmong my personal favorite events

of the fall season is the almost-annual concert given by pianist Laura Kargul in the Spotlight Series of the University of Southern Maine School of Music. She’s the top piano prof at the school, plus she’s passionate about performing the Romantic repertoire, a sub-genre of clas-sical music that flourished in the 1800s.

Her personal favorite is Franz Liszt, Hungarian-born virtuoso performer and composer who was a musical rock star of his age in the capitals of 19th-century Europe. He’s also the archetype of the 19th-century hero: Most of his volumi-nous output was written for his own per-formances and he is credited with making the solo recital an important feature of the cultural landscape.

Technically speaking, his style is char-acterized by bold harmonic experimen-tation and the use of recurring musical motives that thematically pervade his compositions.

On Oct. 22, the musical world will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Liszt’s birth with concerts and other perfor-mances. Here in southern Maine, the big celebration will be Kargul’s all-Liszt

contribued A romantic triangle plus a headless horseman

are among the salient features of Portland Ballet’s production of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which will be performed twice on Saturday at the Westbrook Performing Arts

Center.

concert this Friday.Kargul will perform solo piano se-

lections including the stunning, poetic masterpiece “Blessing of God in Soli-tude” and the virtuosic tour de force, the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12.

Kargul will also present several of Liszt’s piano transcriptions of works by other composers including the monu-mental “Liebestod” of Richard Wagner, Robert Schumann’s “Widmung” and the dazzling opera paraphrase of “Lucia di Lammermoor” by Gaetano Donizetti.

A resident of Freeport, Kargul has appeared as a soloist, chamber musi-cian, adjudicator, lecturer and master class technician throughout Europe and the U.S. plus Canada and the West In-dies. Her solo performances have been greeted with critical acclaim in venues such as the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Diligentia Theater in Den Haag, the Schleswig-Holstein and Nordhessen music festivals in Germany, Evian Music Festival in France and the Lesvos Arts Festival in Greece.

Known especially for her performances of Liszt, she is one of very few artists ever invited to perform a full recital on the composer’s own Bechstein piano at the Liszt-Haus in Weimar, Germany. She has also released a solo CD of his tran-scriptions, “Liszt and Ravel: Transcrip-tions for Piano.”

Kargul has been the director of the keyboard program at USM since 1989. Audience members will be enlightened and entertained by her comments from the stage.

Catch this wonderful concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 14 at Corthell Hall on the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham campus. Call the music box office at 780-5555.

‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’Halloween is quickly approaching, so

a headless horseman seems like a natu-ral way to anticipate the occasion. But a headless ballet dancer? Well, perhaps you should check out “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” an original terpsicho-

rean creation of Portland Ballet which will be performed twice on Saturday in Westbrook.

“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” pre-miered in the 2010 season and features original choreography by Nell Shipman and original music by Kirt Mosier, writ-ten on special commission. A live orches-tra, conducted by Robert Lehmann, will accompany both performances of this classic ballet.

The ballet is based on the famous tale of the same name, published by Ameri-can author Washington Irving in 1820. The story takes place in a town in New York called Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod Crane is a very nervous and supersti-tious schoolteacher. He is in love with the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel. But so is a romantic rival: Brom Bones. Katrina apparently loves Ichabod, but she also seems attracted to Brom Bones. It’s a classic romantic triangle, and something has to give.

What happens is totally surprising. One evening after a party at the Van Tassels’ home, Ichabod is pursued by the Head-less Horseman, the ghost of a soldier who had his head shot off in a long-ago battle and now haunts the area. Ichabod disap-

pears and Katrina marries Brom Bones. Was Brom Bones really the Headless Horseman who chased off his rival? Or did Ichabod’s overly vivid imagination simply run amok? You decide.

The part of Ichabod Crane will be reprised by dancer Derek Clifford. The part of Brom Bones and the Headless Horseman will be danced by Joseph Jef-feries. Jen Jones will portray Katrina Van Tassel. There’s a supporting cast of about two dozen.

Portland Ballet presents “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” at the new Westbrook Performing Arts Center (at the middle school at 471 Stroudwater St.) twice on Oct. 15, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Denny BreauThe Saco River Grange Hall, former

center of agriculture and old-time rural culture in Bar Mills, is one of Maine’s homiest arts centers. So it’s doubly ap-propriate that Saturday’s featured per-former is one of the Pine Tree State’s favorite musicians.

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Denny Breau has been honored by the Maine Country Music Association 10 times: Songwriter of the Year, Entertainer of the Year and eight times as Instrumental-ist of the Year. He’s also the youngest inductee of the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame.

Breau’s rhythmically flawless and daz-zlingly clear style allows him to do amaz-ing things with a six-string guitar. At first he’ll draw an audience into his musical world with a finely arranged melody, and then slides effortlessly into scorching fin-ger work that sets ears aflame. Lighting-fast guitar lines are balanced with guitar work with a quiet intimacy that wraps tenderly around carefully crafted songs.

Breau mixes genres with ease: folk, Delta blues, country and jazz. Plus he’s an engaging storyteller. For Saturday’s concert he’ll be accompanied by a flutist and bass guitarist.

Catch Denny Breau at the Saco River Grange Hall (29 Salmon Falls Road in the Bar Mills village of Buxton) at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15. Call 929-6472.

ing unemployed workers for jobs on the former Navy base.

Nancy Forrester, vice president of administration and human resources at Resilient, said the company looks to Goodwill when it doesn’t need to fill a position right away and can wait for a local worker to be retrained.

“We are very committed to hiring lo-cally ... knowing that we need to invest and do some retraining work,” she said.

When the company needs to hire im-mediately, Forrester said sometimes they draw on their employees’ networks to find someone from away who already has all the skills necessary.

But when they do hire locally, they

look for former employees of the Navy and Bath Iron Works – a common theme among Resilient, ABS and Kestrel Air-craft.

Scott Prinz, a spokesman for Kestrel, said several of the company’s 24 workers were recently laid off by BIW.

“Of these, 15 were hired locally, three transferred from our Duluth, Minn., facility, and six from other parts of the country,” Prinz said in an email.

While Prinz said the company has been successful hiring locally to date, he also said the company expects to be forced to look out of state for experienced aerospace personnel. But he believes “there will be good candidates for pro-duction work force” in the Brunswick area, and is hoping to hold a job fair in coming weeks for local candidates.

Ultimately, Kestrel hopes to employ 300 workers.

Understanding the interest all the Brunswick Landing companies have in employees with engineering back-grounds, Mike Bourret, director of Coastal Counties Workforce, said the new training program would likely in-corporate a lot of former BIW workers.

“We have folks at BIW who were recently laid off ... but some of these individuals, depending on their skill sets, may be ideal candidates for additional training for design at some of the other companies,” he said.

Jim DeMartini, spokesman for BIW, said he doesn’t keep track of how many former employees are hired at Brunswick Landing.

But because BIW is moving into the fabrication phase of a production cycle, it has recently laid off a disproportion-ate number of designers and engineers, whose skills may be more readily ap-plicable to the high-tech companies at Brunswick Landing, DeMartini said.

Steve Levesque, executive director of MRRA, said the new training program will be a big boost for the Brunswick Landing companies.

“Obviously any time you have re-sources that are going to train people for skilled jobs that are needed by the technology companies that we’re trying to grow on the property, it’s critical,” Levesque said.

She finally settled down to the extent this free spirit could ever settle down. “I got tired of moving around all the time and not solving my inner angst,” she said.

She found a partner, Tim, and became the mother of two sons, but her partner died in 2005. She’s bringing up the two boys, Maximum and Elijah.

Detroy discovered her love of fabrics and sewing early in life.

“I was always playing around with fabrics as a kid – layering, altering, mak-ing what I wanted to make for myself,” she explained. “With six brothers and no sisters, you don’t get a lot of hand-me-downs. My mother taught me to sew on a Singer Featherweight, a beautiful machine. There’s nothing like it.”

And there’s nothing like Detroy’s art or the myriad ways she encourages other people to make new art from old stuff.

She convinced the Frontier Cafe in Brunswick to host the Altered Couture Benefit Fashion Show in June. The sold-out event showcased the creations of 24

Gates has also made healthy snacks, fruits and vegetables available to Bath elementary school students.

Continuing the culinary theme, the Bath Mobile Food Truck earned this year’s Community Project Award for its work bringing food, hope, respect and dignity to residents facing hunger.

Kyle Wood, who earned the Youth Award, is a two-season athlete and ac-tively participates in Interact, Rotary International’s service club for youth 12-18. The 16-year-old’s various community service projects through Interact include Coats 4 Kids, Salvation Army bell ring-ing, a youth sledding event and lacrosse clinic, the Bath Antique Show and the School Community Liaison Council

local artist-designer-recyclers, each of whom had to design and create a wear-able outfit utilizing materials (not to ex-ceed $30) from local stores for resources and inspiration. All proceeds went to ArtVan, a mobile arts therapy program.

Detroy plans to cut back on her house-cleaning work and step up her artistic endeavors over the next few years, and she’s making good progress. She par-ticipates in Brunswick’s Second Friday art walks as well as the town’s summer crafts festival. Some stores around Mid-Coast Maine carry her unusual creations. And she’s working on a website for her business (Cosmic Couture) for etsy.com, a site created for people who want to buy or sell vintage items.

Detroy also introduced another artist with a studio in Fort Andross, a woman who is to old metal what Detroy is to old fabric. When I joked to the artist that Christine isn’t boring, the woman laughed and said, “She keeps things lively around here.”

Can there be a higher compliment?

Main Sail Banquet.Main Street Bath received the Commu-

nity Spirit Award for its commitment to the city through leadership and volunteer work to promote both Bath’s downtown and its sense of community.

Community Spirit Award winner Joe Grace has entertained audiences at senior living facilities with his singing for years, serving as both entertainer and friend to the residents.

Steve Mosher’s Community Pride award was a nod to his efforts to rebuild the “Welcome to Bath” sign on Old Brunswick Road. He donated his own materials and time to the project, accord-ing to the city, and he continues to mow the lawn around the area with his own equipment and on his own time.

talking about here tonight ... and nobody pays any attention to it,” Connors said.

She also suggested future boards would disregard the plan.

But member Matt Corey said that is why the plan is necessary.

“We are a very fluid organization and the people at this level change very often, and I think it’s important to have a road map going forwards,” Corey said.

“Strategic planning is messy, it’s not perfect,” said board member Brenda Clough, as discussion was winding down. “If we as a School Board have the discipline to keep coming back to the

plan, then the process becomes a good planning tool.”

The board ultimately voted 8-1, with Small opposed, to authorize a request for proposals.

In other business, the board voted to hire Harriman, an architecture and engi-neering firm with offices in Auburn and Portland, to conduct a study of school facilities, including the temporarily closed Jordan Acres Elementary School and the former Times Record building on Industry Road.

Superintendent of Schools Paul Perza-noski said he hopes to have the findings by the end of the year.

FREE HEARINGEVALUATIONS

Fundingfrom page 1


Education has released its preliminary general purpose aid numbers for the 2012-13 school year, utilizing a new funding formula that was expected to increase funding for rural schools and decrease funding for urban schools.

Democrats in the state Legislature had initially estimated schools in greater Port-land would see widespread losses in state aid. But if the preliminary numbers are any indication, only a few local schools will take hits.

This is largely due to an increase of $19 million in the amount of general purpose aid included in the state budget – up to $914 million, according to DOE spokesman David Connerty-Marin.

While this is still not as much as the state spent on GPA in 2008, he said it

partially makes up for the loss of federal stimulus funds, which ran out last year.

Despite the increase, towns where property valuation were higher than the state’s overall 2 percent loss, could see their GPA drop.

Cape Elizabeth is expected to see a $245,000 reduction in funding, a 10.6 percent loss over last year’s nearly $2.3 million subsidy. Scarborough will also see a reduction, but of only $2,300, an almost negligible 0.04 percentage drop from last year’s $4.7 million subsidy.

Chebeague Island may see a drop of $3,800, a 2.6 percent reduction.

Other districts will likely see increas-es in state aid. Portland is estimated to see a nearly $1.2 million increase; South Portland, nearly $623,000, and RSU 1, which covers the towns of Bath, West Bath, Arrowsic, Phippsburg and Woolwich, is estimated to see a

$904,000 increase.

Some districts may see more mod-est increases. SAD 75, which includes Harpswell, Topsham, Bowdoin and Bow-doinham, could see a $408,000 increase; Brunswick, $244,000; SAD 51, which covers Cumberland and North Yarmouth, $118,000, and Yarmouth, $68,000.

While at first glance, Falmouth’s pro-jected increase of $1.6 million seems to top the list of increases, the district’s finance director, Dan O’Shea, said the increase is attributed to a new elementary school that opened this year, paid for by state funds.

“These figures don’t take into ac-count any current-year enrollment changes – which will show increases over last year and should mean ad-

ditional funds – or other adjustments, so we need to look at it with caution,” O’Shea said.

The state’s share of interest on the bond for the $37.7 million Falmouth Elementary School is estimated at $1.6 million.

“So essentially, (it means) flat funding for Falmouth with that factor removed,” O’Shea said.

This is only the second year the DOE has released preliminary estimates aimed at assisting schools in the budget pro-cess. The numbers could change before they are finalized, depending largely on enrollment and whether the Legislature makes additional changes to the funding formula.

Buildingfrom page 1


Millinocket – have property maintenance ordinances that require property owners to make plans to repair or demolish structures within 90 days after a “casualty,” defined as “any unforeseeable, unintended accident affecting a property.” The code enforcement officer may grant extensions in the case of financial hardship.

After hearing the details of the Oak Street case, Mike Noble, code enforcement officer for Millinocket, East Millinocket, Medway and Woodville, said his ordinance “gives the town some authority in the case exactly like you’ve just mentioned to prompt the owner to do something.”

In Oakland, code enforcement officer Bob Ellis has used his town’s property maintenance ordinance to compel five prop-erty owners to clean up or tear down their dilapidated buildings. He also has received court orders of demolition under Maine’s “dangerous buildings” law, which allows a municipality to tear down a building that had been deemed dangerous or a nuisance, and bill the owner for the demolition.

Noble also brought up the state statute, and wondered if it was a tool Brunswick could use.

But Hutchinson said 16-18 Oak St. wouldn’t qualify because it has not been compromised to the point that it must be torn down.

“It’s basically is not a dangerous building, it’s not in danger of falling down,” he said.

As for a property maintenance ordinance, he said Brunswick simply does not have the staff to enforce one even if it were on the books.

But some residents of the Oak Street neighborhood are asking for just that.

“I would like the town to have a prop-erty maintenance code that would establish legally binding expectations and penalties for the owners of vacant and abandoned buildings,” Anne Marr, a Cumberland Street resident, said in an email.

DeWitt Kimball, who owns the Cabot House Condos at 20-22 Oak St., also wants to see the town enact a property mainte-nance ordinance.

“The town needs to step up and have some policies, if the building is in such bad shape that it’s affecting the property values around it, the owner needs to fix the build-ing or tear it down,” he said.

But property maintenance ordinances are difficult to pass, said Bath City Man-ager Bill Giroux, whose City Council voted down such a proposal last January after

deciding it would be difficult to enforce.“You’re talking about the government

telling private property owners what to do with their property,” he said. “It goes well beyond traditional zoning.”

He also said it would be difficult to cre-ate an ordinance like the one in Oakland, Medway and East Millinocket that requires repairing a damaged building.

“You have to define what a major disaster is ... you’d have to somehow put in writ-ing, ‘damaged by fire,’ then the question is, to what extent and who evaluates that,” Giroux said.

Councilor Margo Knight, who represents the Oak Street neighborhood, said she has been following other communities and has not found a property maintenance ordinance she believes would work in Brunswick.

“I would love to find one that works without detrimental unintended conse-quences,” like creating financial hardship for a property owner, Knight said.

Council Chairman Joanne King agreed.“You shouldn’t have to look at the re-

mains of a building forever and ever,” she said, but “in this economy ... how are you going to tell somebody ... they need to do

something to their building?”Even Noble acknowledged that the

property maintenance ordinance in the Mil-linocket area has produced mixed results.

“The good part is, when you get a situa-tion like what you’re dealing with (in Bruns-wick), you have the means to address it through the court system,” he said. “The bad side is ... it’s common that you end up with unintended consequences,” like someone who will invoke the ordinance to get back at a neighbor he doesn’t like, and if it falls under the ordinance, Noble has to enforce it.

“It’s good when you need it, and bad when you don’t,” he concluded.

Questions about the future of the Oak Street building remain unanswered because, as Hutchinson noted, as long as the building is secure, “we can’t require (Matthews, the building owner) to give us an update on a daily or weekly basis.”

Town Manager Gary Brown said he has had two or three conversations with Mat-thews, but didn’t have any specific informa-tion about what Matthews plans to do.

And because Matthews didn’t return messages left for him, it’s unknown what, if anything, is happening at 16-18 Oak St.

Commentsfrom page 1


Concern over the reaction to the ban led the selectmen to schedule a special meeting Tuesday, where they spent two hours debat-ing the merits of allowing more freedom during public comment periods, before ultimately deciding to allow residents to talk about whatever they want.

A handful of Harpswell residents, in-cluding Robert McIntyre, who frequently speaks about the town’s relationship with SAD 75 during public comment, and School Board member Kay O’Grodnik, attended the meeting and spoke out against the content-based restrictions in the old policy.

Under the new policy, Harpswell resi-dents now have a chance at the beginning

and end of meetings to speak for five min-utes on any topic – whether it’s relevant to town business or not – as well as prior to a vote on each agenda item. They may also lodge complaints against town officials, staff members or individuals, something that was prohibited in the previous version of the policy.

The selectmen were divided over whether to limit comments to issues relative to town business or that have or will come before the board.

Hawkes said it would be difficult to de-termine what qualified as “town business,” a concern shared by attorney Mark Bower, who was assisting Town Attorney Sally Daggett. Hawkes also said limiting public comment to town business “keeps people from doing what this is about, which is serving the public.”

But Multer said she didn’t want to see the public comment period abused by people who were campaigning for one side of a municipal ballot item, or some other town issue.

“I don’t like the idea of selectman’s meet-ings being involved in a back-and-forth debate,” she said, adding that she was both-ered by the way McIntyre used the public comment period to advance his perspective on a June vote to study withdrawing from SAD 75.

“Mr. McIntyre came to every one of our meetings in a certain period and cam-paigned for an issue that was on the ballot. Which made this his principal campaign venue ... I just thought that was inappropri-

ate at selectmen’s meetings,” she said.Daggett suggested that adding a sentence

about excluding unduly repetitive com-ments would address some of Multer’s concerns.

Ultimately, Multer was out-numbered by Hawkes and Henderson.

After the meeting, Henderson – who, un-like Hawkes, opposed restrictions on public comment from the beginning – said he felt good about the policy revision, which he said “maintained accessibility by the public to give us their opinion.”

He added that he hopes the revised policy “won’t raise so many issues that we have to come back or another board has to come back and revisit it.”
