Building swap between Brunswick, Bowdoin College becomes realityBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — After years of speculation and months of negotiation, the town and Bow-doin College will exchange the Longfellow School for the McLellan building.

Judge sides with Bath planners on business park road decisionBy Alex Lear

BATH — A Sagadahoc Coun-ty Superior Court judge has affirmed the Planning Board’s decision concerning the third phase of the Wing Farm busi-ness park.

Justice Andrew Horton’s Sept. 28 written decision followed a hearing on the matter three weeks earlier. At issue were waivers the Planning Board granted for an improved access road into the development.

Those waivers allow the maxi-mum grade of 5 percent to be increased to 8 percent, the mini-mum width of the road to be 24 feet instead of 30 feet, and the 400-foot minimum center-line radius to be decreased to 200 feet.

Bath’s attorney, Patrick Scully, noted that West Bath had re-quested the waivers “in part because there are wetlands in that area, and they were trying to build the road in a way that would minimize the wetlands impact.”

For Tom Seymour, foraging is the way life should beBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — On the last day of general fishing season, Tom Seymour was not where he’s been for as long as he can remember: out on the water.

Instead, he was making a presentation about mush-rooms to residents of the Thornton Oaks retirement community.

If Seymour, a 64-year old Maine Guide and author of several guidebooks, was dis-appointed, he didn’t show it.

Instead, he regaled the retir-ees with stories of his foraging excursions, and offered tips on preserving mushrooms (don’t put them in a plastic bag be-cause they turn to mush) and cooking them (slice them like a steak and fry).

While his publisher, Nancy Randolph of Just Write Books, chopped and sauteed chanterelles, black trumpets and fiddleheads for every-

one to taste, Seymour signed copies of his “Wild Plants of Maine” and “Forager’s Notebook” and tried to iden-tify the various fungi people described to him.

But it wasn’t until a walk through the woods after the presentation that Seymour’s foraging skills started to really shine. Instead of blending into their surroundings, plants seemed to shout their names to him, and he stopped often to discuss when and how to harvest curled dock, high bush cranberry and stinging nettles.

The nettles, he explained, can be boiled and drained. He likes to save the juice until summer time, when he mixes it with lemon juice for a refreshing tonic.

As he walked slowly through the woods, he ex-plained that wild plants, game and fish account for more than 70 percent of his diet.

The swap will give the col-lege extra space adjacent to its campus, and will provide the town with a modern munici-pal office, council chambers, and records storage all in one place, ending years of housing

the three in various buildings around town.

The final details of the trade were nearly identical to those discussed at the July 25 Town Council meeting, when coun-cilors authorized Town Man-

ager Gary Brown to negotiate an agreement with the college.

The closing will take place before January.

Bath likely to borrow $450K to tear down old YMCABy Alex Lear

BATH — The City Council on Wednesday gave unanimous first approval to borrowing up to $450,000 to demolish the for-mer YMCA on Summer Street.

The bond ordinance is ex-pected to receive final approval

next month.The council also scheduled a

workshop for Nov. 9 to discuss a ban on fireworks in the city. A state law that takes effect Jan. 1, 2012, legalizes consumer fire-

works, but allows municipalities to enact local restrictions on use and sale.

Demolition of the old Y, which the City Council ap-proved last month, could begin

in December, City Manager Bill Giroux said.

Complete demolition of the Y – which was replaced when the Bath Area Family YMCA opened on Centre Street in 2001

– was one of three options pre-sented to councilors by Stephen Blatt Architects. It could cost more than $410,000.

In light of that estimate, the council reduced the original

Japanese restaurant to replace O’Shea’s in BrunswickBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — It’s been less than a month since O’Shea’s Irish Restaurant & Cantina closed, but renovations are already underway for a new restaurant to take its place at 94 Maine St.

The owners of the Mediterranean Grill in Freeport are planning to open Aki, a Japanese featuring sushi and hibachi grilling.

Economics force Brunswick’s Frontier Cafe to make changesBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — A well-known local restaurant and arts venue is entering its sixth year in business with changes it hopes will provide a financial boost.

Over the next month, Frontier Cafe-Cinema-Gallery is expanding its kitchen, adding additional seating areas and designing a new dinner menu. In addi-tion, the restaurant in Fort Andross at 14 Maine St. will forgo deli-style service for full table service with waitstaff.

Owner Michael Gilroy said the chang-es should allow the restaurant to better serve customers, and hopefully attract more of them.

With the high overhead costs that come with heating and cooling a large space in an old mill, plus the expense of booking art shows, musicians and events, Frontier has struggled financially, especially in

the past year and a half, according to Gilroy.

The restaurant has a fairly steady lunch crowd, but nights can be slow and are driven by the evening’s cultural event.

“If the event doesn’t draw a crowd, we can almost guarantee a very quiet evening,” he said, because many custom-ers don’t think of Frontier as a place to have dinner.

When there is a popular evening event, he said, long lines often form at the food counter, making it difficult to quickly order another drink or dessert.

Gilroy hopes table service and an ex-panded dinner menu will reduce waiting time and draw more people to the restau-rant at night, regardless of what film or band is playing.

Although he wouldn’t give details about the new dinner menu, Gilroy said

many of the recipes were inspired by staff and their travels. He said he wants to expose diners to food from different cultures, while keeping the menu ac-cessible, recognizable and full of local ingredients.

Frontier is also changing its business model.

The arts and programming portion of the enterprise has been entirely subsi-dized by the cafe. Now Gilroy is spinning off that portion of the business as a non-profit organization, which will allow him to seek grants and donations in addition to relying on revenue from the restaurant.

Both changes are ultimately about try-ing to keep Frontier in business.

“We don’t feel comfortable relying

on our model as it stands right now to weather our ongoing economic situa-tion,” Gilroy said.

Expanding the restaurant and forming a nonprofit were both part of the business plan since the beginning, but the neces-sity for change came earlier than Gilroy said he expected.

He said he hopes that customers won’t be scared off by the changes and the short periods of time the restaurant will have to close in the next month for renovations.

“Our real focus is on what we have right now and making it stronger so we can continue to do what we do well, but also provide the framework to do what we do better,” he said.

on Twitter: @guerinemily.

Although another Japanese restaurant, Little Tokyo, is a block away, Aki’s own-ers said they believe there’s enough busi-ness to go around.

Co-owner Tina Cigri noted the existence of two Indian restaurants on Maine Street as evidence that Brunswick is big enough for two venues with similar cuisine.

“It’s such a high demand, and we’re not only doing sushi and Japanese cuisine, we’re doing hibachi, which is an excit-ing addition to the town of Brunswick,” she said.

Although Aki will include the space in the basement of 94 Maine St., where O’Shea’s used to offer live music and dancing, Cigri said she doesn’t have any immediate plans to operate a nightclub.

She said she and her partners plan to focus on getting the restaurant up and running before they consider how to use the basement. However, she said a cock-tail lounge or a space for large parties is possible in the future.

Cigri said their goal is to open the res-taurant by November.

Without grant, Brunswick sees no need for downtown garageOptional developer fee could fund parking structure, alternative transportation

By Emily GuerinBRUNSWICK — A grant that would

have helped to fund a parking garage at Maine Street Station has been rejected by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.

But a proposed town parking ordinance would create a fund that could help pay for such a project in the future.

Brunswick applied for a $400,000 Communities for Maine’s Future grant over the summer, and recently found out that its application was denied because local funding for the project wasn’t secured. Although the Brunswick De-velopment Corp. had pledged to match the grant, the remainder of the project’s funding, which was estimated at $3.4 million, was up in the air.

But town staff now say that additional parking there may no longer be neces-sary.

Town Manager Gary Brown said

based on conversations he has had with the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority, which operates Amtrak’s Downeaster, the demand for long-term passenger parking may not be as great as initially expected.

“We’re not going to see a sudden large spike in passengers the first day the train comes,” he said.

The addition of about 20 public park-ing spots in the McLellan building lot could also help take the pressure off ex-isting spaces at Maine Street Station. The extra spots are part of a deal to exchange Bowdoin College’s McLellan building on the corner of Noble and Union streets for Longfellow School. Although the lot has an 88-spot capacity, 39 of those will be reserved for college use and another 20 or so are for town staff.

Brown said he is considering contract-ing with a parking consultant to deter-mine what the demand could be when the

train service begins.He’s also trying to figure out if a large

parking garage at Maine Street Station would be utilized by shoppers in down-town Brunswick, who “are still very used to parking incredibly close to their destination,” he said.

Parking ordinanceUnder the new proposed ordinance, a

developer could pay the town a set price for each parking spot not created. The money would go into a fund that would be used for alternative transportation projects, or a centrally located parking

facility.Town Planner Kris Hultgren said the

ordinance would allow developers to forgo their parking creation requirement only if the new development is in the general downtown area, and is accessible by other forms of transportation.

Although developers wouldn’t be required to pay the fee, currently set at $5,000 per parking spot, Hultgren said some would undoubtedly be interested because it would allow them to devote more land in downtown to commercial space rather than for parking.

“It gives developers flexibility to use

Brunswick School Board at-large election draws 2 candidatesBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — While two sitting School Board members are expecting easy victories in uncontested re-election bids this November, that’s not the case in the race for an at-large seat.

Incumbent Jack Jones is challenged by first-time candidate William Thompson.

With varied backgrounds, the two candi-dates would each bring something different to the board.

Jack JonesJones, 75, is a retired teacher. He spent

eight years teaching in public schools and 32 years at the private Eaglebrook School in Massachusetts before retiring to Brunswick. He was first elected to the School board in November 2008.

Jones said he brings a unique perspective to the board and un-derstands the need to balance property tax increases with maintaining quality education.

“I know what people are dealing with out there because I am, too,” he said. “I just think there has to be a fine line between necessarily raising and holding the line (on property taxes).”

Although the past couple of school bud-gets have cut deeper than he said he would like, “given our situation, I think we did fairly well,” Jones said.

“We cut across the board, so no area got hit particularly hard,” an approach he said he would take again if faced with another round of budget cuts.

Jones said he would advocate sparing extracurricular activities from the chopping block because “they can be unifying com-munity efforts.”

If he could reverse some of the cuts from last spring, he said he’d bring back resource assistants and classroom support positions.

In the meantime, he said he’s hoping to rally Brunswick’s senior citizens to fill the gap by serving as volunteers in schools. Increasing volunteerism will be his first priority if re-elected to the school board, he said.

Jones also believes public school boards should not advocate for the creation of charter schools, which has been an option in Maine since June.

“I don’t have any problems with parents having a choice ... but if somebody is elected to a public school board, that’s their first commitment,” he said. Rather than advocate for charter schools, he said he’d rather find out why parents are unhappy enough with the school district to withdraw their kids, and address those problems.

He said he supports the creation of mag-net schools, which would allow specializa-tion, but keep funding and oversight within the School Department.

Jones said Brunswick must renovate Jor-dan Acres Elementary School, which was “moth-balled” for the 2011-2012 school year, sooner rather than later to create space for district enrollment to increase.

Although he initially thought that invit-ing Harpswell’s students into the district could help fill the hole in the budget left by the departure of Durham students, he said he has reconsidered that idea since the closing of Jordan Acres.

“We don’t want to squeeze Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary at the expense of our kids,” he said.

William ThompsonThompson, 31, aims to be one of the

youngest members of the School Board. He attended Brunswick public schools before graduating from Colby College. Before mov-ing back to Maine, he worked for U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, in Washington, D.C. Currently he is a special assistant for policy to Maine House Speaker Robert Nutting, R-Oakland.

Thompson worked as a substitute teacher in Brunswick schools as recently as 2009, and said he has a good sense of the school system.

He said one of his immediate priorities would be to deal with Jordan Acres and resolve what he called over-crowding at Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School.

He said he believes Jordan Acres is past the point of renovation, and thinks the School Department should reopen Haw-thorne Elementary School to ease the pres-sure on Stowe. But that’s only a temporary fix, he acknowledged.

“There needs to be a discussion about long term, where do we want to go with our schools,” Thompson said. “... In terms of (building) a new school, we need to watch our bottom line on property taxes so they don’t spiral out of control, but at the same time we need to have a plan.”

Having not been involved with last year’s budget, he was hesitant to comment on the process. If faced with additional cuts next year, he said he would try to direct them at administrators, not teachers.

do to help them, and give the director of economic development some tools to go help them? I’d take the golden egg if we could get it, but I honestly think it’s go-ing to take a little digging and working with what we have, and build them up.”

A focus should also be on the roads in town in serious need of repair, Douglass said.

Ronald RiendeauRiendeau, 75, is married and has

two sons and one grandchild. He was born on Walnut Street in Topsham and has lived in the town al-most his entire life. He and his wife have run Riendeau Auction Service for 30 years.

Riendeau, who has served most of four terms on the Board of Selectmen and is its current chairman, worked for the Police Department for about 20 years and from 1964 to 1978 was police chief. Prior to that he was in the U.S. Army from 1959-1961.

He said he is seeking re-election be-cause he enjoys serving on the board and has the time and health. “I still have a lot to give,” he said.

The biggest issue Topsham and other towns face is trying to maintain an af-fordable tax rate, Riendeau said, noting that “that’s always been my goal, each term I’ve served.”

Economic growth in town has been slow, he said, noting that the economy has played a hand in that.

Riendeau served on a Community De-velopment Block Grant committee that sought funds to beautify Main Street, and he has also been a member of the Bruns-wick Rotary Club and the Cumberland County Law Enforcement Association.

“I know the town, I know the town’s history,” Riendeau said. “... I’ve always tried to be fair. ... Before I vote (on a matter), I look at it and (think), ‘what is better for the townspeople?’ I don’t think I’ve ever voted because of my personal feelings, and I don’t plan to in the future.”

James TrusianiTrusiani, 51, has lived in Topsham

nearly all his life. He is an equipment operator with Harry C. Crooker & Sons and has served three terms on the Board of Selectmen.

“I think I owe it to the people that still support me to con-tinue to run,” he said.

Loss of revenue from the state is one of the key issues facing Topsham, Trusiani said. He said the town is not receiving the amount of money it is supposed to for services it performs that used to be done by state, such as plowing certain roads.

Other issues are getting more people to volunteer for the town’s fire and emer-gency medical services, Trusiani said, and making the town more inviting to businesses to broaden the tax base.

He also noted that in recent years the Board of Selectmen has done a better job of explaining budget expenses and revenues, and what can actually be con-

3 candidates compete for 2 seats on Topsham Board of SelectmenBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — This year’s Board of Selectmen election has three candidates for two seats.

Two incumbents, James Trusiani and Ronald Riendeau, both of Main Street, are being challenged by David Douglass Jr. of Foreside Road.

David Douglass Jr.Douglass, 38, is married and has

two children, and has lived in Topsham for 10 years. He was a firefighter-emergency medical technician with the Brunswick Fire Department from 1996-2006, a captain with the Topsham Douglass Jr.

Riendeau

Fire Department from 1998-2004, and has worked in sales and marketing with the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. since 2006.

Douglass joined the Topsham Finance Committee in 2002; he has chaired it for the past two years. If elected to the Board of Selectmen he will have to step down from the Finance Committee.

Running for the board is “something I’ve actually wanted to do for a long time,” Douglass said, noting that he now has time to serve.

He said he is a big fan of Topsham’s Town Meeting form of government, “where I know I get to go raise my little piece of paper, right, wrong or indiffer-ent, and I get to have a say, and I love that.”

Faced with revenue losses, the town should take a more focused look at economic and community development, Douglass said, noting that “there are challenges that need to be met, and I think a new perspective on those chal-lenges (would be good).”

Although Topsham is funding a di-rector of economic and community development, he said “we don’t leave him enough (of a) piece of the pie to go off and do his job, with all the tools he needs.”

He noted that the town has businesses that have survived the tough economic climate, and “is there something we can

In the end, compromise on redistricting is good for GOPAlthough the parties have compromised and redrawn the

lines defining Maine’s two congressional districts, there was an awful lot of recrimination that attended the process. While the issue isn’t likely to come up again any time soon, I thought I would review the underlying principles.

The U.S. Constitution requires that congressional rep-resentatives be apportioned according to the number of people living in each state, that each state get at least one representative, and that no House district be smaller than 30,000 people.

The framers decided that the first House of Represen-tatives should be composed of 65 members. They allo-cated those seats to the first 14 states based on their esti-mate of what a census would show. But they didn’t expect that apportionment would last and they provided for change. They required that an “actual enumeration” be conducted within three years of the first meeting of Congress and every 10 years thereafter.

Congress increased the number of representatives as the country’s population grew and more states were added. As a result of the 1910 census, the number increased from 386 to 435. In the 1950s, the number was increased to 437 to accommodate the addition of Alaska and Hawaii, but then returned to 435.

Still, the country’s population continued to grow and to move around, necessitating reapportionment of representa-tives. Pursuant to the 2010 census, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are expected to lose seats; while Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington are expected to gain seats.

Apportioning representatives entails several challenges, beginning with the problem of what to do about a state’s entitlement to a fraction of a representative. If you take the country’s “apportionment population” from the 2000 census – more than 281.4 million – and divide it by the authorized number of representatives – 435 – you get an “ideal district” size of just under 647,000. However, no state’s population was a whole number multiple of that size and never has been.

As a result, since ratification of the Constitution, Con-gress has employed several different methods to apportion representatives. These methods include the “fixed ratio” method, the “major fractions” method, and the current

ShortRelief

Halsey Frank

“equal proportions” method, which was adopted in 1941.Under the equal proportions method, seats in the House

of Representatives are allocated in rounds. In the first round, each state gets their one Constitutionally-guaranteed representative. In subsequent rounds, the remaining 385 seats are allocated to states in turns, on the basis of a prior-ity that is related to each state’s population.

As a result, the size of a House district varies between states, and the size of a citizen’s share of a representative varies from state to state. Pursuant to the 2000 census and reapportionment, the smallest House district was the state of Wyoming, which contains just over 495,000 people. The largest was Montana at-large with more than 905,000. The 53 seats in California, were each about 639,000.

The virtue of this method is thought to be that it mini-mizes the relative difference a state experiences between two successive apportionments in terms of numbers of seats assigned, district population size, and individual voter share of a representative. The idea is that a change of one seat has less impact on the people of a large state like California than on the people of a small state like Wyoming.

Once seats in the House of Representatives have been apportioned, it is up to each state to decide how to define its districts, subject to a few limitations. The major limitation is that, within a state, congressional districts are supposed to be as equal in population as possible in order that, within the state, the value of each person’s vote for representative be as equal as possible.

The Maine Constitution specifies a process for apportion-ing U.S. House and Senate districts. That process involves establishing a commission composed of 10 legislators drawn from the two parties with the largest caucuses and three members of the public. Our Constitution delegates to the Legislature the responsibility for dividing the state into voting districts for national elections, but doesn’t provide much guidance on how to do it.

The number, shape and size of Maine’s U.S. House dis-tricts have varied over time. When Maine first separated from Massachusetts, it had seven House districts. Later in the 1800s, it has had as many as eight. In 1961, Maine went from three districts to two. Republicans controlled the Legislature at the time and they drew the lines that have, more or less, remained in place.

The 1st District consists of the southeast corner of the state, including the coast from Kittery to Rockland, while the 2nd District consists of the rest of the state. Geographi-cally, it is the largest congressional district east of the Mis-sissippi River.

In 1983, when Democrats controlled the Legislature, they instituted a new procedure for redistricting that was sup-posed to avoid partisan gerrymandering. After each census, a bipartisan commission develops a redistricting plan for

the Legislature’s approval. The Legislature must approve the plan by a two-thirds majority and implement it in time for the second congressional election after the census. If the Legislature is unable to pass the plan, then the Supreme Judicial Court draws the lines. The Legislature was able to approve the commission’s plan in 1993, but not in 2003 when the court had to step in.

The 2010 census showed that Maine had grown in popu-lation and that the state’s congressional districts were out of balance. But Maine was not scheduled to do anything about it until the 2014 election. Two voters in Cape Elizabeth sued and a special panel of judges ordered Maine to redraw its districts in time for the 2012 election.

The Legislature convened a commission of seven Demo-crats, seven Republicans, and one independent. It produced several Democratic and Republican plans and a lot of sniping. Ultimately, in a party-line vote broken by the inde-pendent, the commission approved a Democratic plan that was not going to be approved by the majority Republican Legislature. The sniping continued.

Republicans could have used their majority to change the rules governing redistricting. The process wasn’t any great success. The existing district boundaries had no claim to moral supremacy. The purpose of congressional districts is to give their constituents a voice in “the Peoples’ House.” By that measure, Democrats have no greater claim to both Maine seats than Republicans when they only constitute a third of the state by registration. The boundaries were not etched in stone. To the contrary, the whole system was designed to change.

Nor was the process of drawing districts expected to be nonpartisan. The U.S. Constitution leaves it up to the states, and the Maine Constitution delegates the responsibility to the Legislature, which has the effect of making redistricting just another consequence of elections, albeit a somewhat structural one.

I didn’t believe that redistricting was worth a fight and I am glad that the parties have reached a compromise. In the first place, a Republican’s chances of winning the 2nd District are not so remote. The 2nd District is more con-servative than the 1st District. Since 1961, it has been held by Republicans for 30 years and Democrats for 23 years (including the last nine). When the seat was last open, in 2002, and Rep. Mike Michaud, a Democrat, first won it, he beat Republican Kevin Raye by only four percentage points, 52 percent to 48 percent.

In order to guarantee winning the 2nd District (if that’s possible), Republicans would have had to significantly

There’s school, and then there’s educationThe college drop-off was less traumatic than I antici-

pated, and the trauma was self-inflicted.He was ready. His room is excellent. His roommate is

a responsible student/athlete. I thought the closest thing to a jock the University of Chicago had was a student/mathlete, but there you go.

Parent Orientation was a two-day program culminat-ing in a memorable walk with your kids toward a large wrought-iron gate, literally a rite of passage. Orientation workers passed among the crowd offering Kleenex. My wife and son walked arm in arm, then hand in hand, then side by side until he passed through the gate to the cheers of schoolmates. I won’t say he sprinted, but he didn’t walk backwards to get a last look at us, either. His final words to me were, “’Bye. See ya at Christmas.” I know. It choked me up, too.

I hope he has an experience worthy of a commemora-tion like that walk across the quad. I hope he wants to go to his graduation. I wouldn’t have said that before my in-valuable experience at the Stonecoast School for Creative Writing at the University of Southern Maine.

Before Stonecoast, I had no interest in graduations. I graduated from a fairly fancy boarding school (scholarship boy, so hold your judgments, please), a well-known uni-versity, and a not-very-well-known law school. I attended my boarding school graduation because they made me. Wild horses couldn’t have dragged me to the other two, but I found that wild horses couldn’t have kept me away from Stonecoast’s. I think it is because Stonecoast was the first place I felt like I got a real education.

It wasn’t the first place I learned anything. In board-ing school I learned that as a scholarship boy I could be among the elite, but I would never be of the elite. At Michigan I learned that drugs are really bad for somebody with low self-esteem. Fortunately, I learned this lesson be-fore I did any irreparable harm to myself or others. As for law, well, it’s trade school, isn’t it? I learned where to look for the law and that the person who’s paying you is right.

Before Stonecoast, I was rarely asked to challenge the accepted wisdom, to look at a phenomenon from an unorthodox point of view, or to create something unique. Stonecoast demanded all of these right from the beginning. I thought I knew what I was doing when I applied. After all, how many new students did they get who already made a living as a writer? I chose creative nonfiction as my major because I thought it would be easy. Memoir was either public self-flagellation or blaming somebody else for your problems, right? Since I did both regularly, I figured I was golden.

That lasted about five minutes. My first workshop leader handed me a couple hundred pages of everything

from Joseph Campbell on the mythic hero’s journey to deep explorations of life by people who knew how to turn their pain into art. As opposed to me. I knew how to get laughs, the literary equivalent of knowing where to poke the dissected frog to make its leg twitch.

According to my first academic supervisor, who an-noyingly (i.e., accurately) described my writing as ap-proximating “the blather of a raconteur on a bar stool,” if I wanted to learn anything valuable, I had to stop making glib, snide remarks about stuff I didn’t like and whining about my parents. My first thought was, “Oh, really? You want to compare house sizes, Mr. World Famous Poet? Because mine is big and yours is small.”

Fortunately, I didn’t succumb to my pen envy. I submit-ted to the process and found myself in a community of teachers and students committed to genuine learning. I received praise when I deserved it, constructive sugges-tions when I needed them. I was brought up short often. I had to stop using tricks I had relied on in my previous life. I spent two years re-experiencing a life I wasn’t too crazy about the first time I lived through it. I had conflicts with individuals and with the school at times. The residencies – two-week-long full-immersion seminars when everyone was together – were enriching, but exhausting. The six months in between residencies were a blur of deadlines, of revising the old material while generating new.

Getting through that program was an accomplishment. I wanted to mark it. I wanted one more shared experience with all the people who had lived through the experience with me. And so I found myself excited to be looking slightly ridiculous in a black robe that made me look like a circus tent in mourning, standing in line with my classmates, acknowledging our parallel journeys, wonder-ing what was next.

Parent Orientation felt like we were glimpsing the beginning of a similar journey for our son. I hope so for his sake. The professors who spoke at the convocation talked about the school’s rich history of creating the kind of atmosphere I valued so much at Stonecoast.

At the very least I hope he doesn’t call us and say what I told my parents: “No, I’m not going to graduation. ... Because it’s stupid, that’s why.”

redraw both districts. Doing so would have increased partisan antagonism, making it more difficult to get things done generally.

They are better served by continuing to use the offices and majorities they hold to pass laws and implement poli-cies that improve Maine peoples’ lives, and winning them over that way.

Maine’s boss is anti-laborGov. Paul LePage looked as though he was going

to blow a gasket Sept. 26 when NBC news anchor Brian Williams asked him on national television about his decision to order the Maine labor history mural removed from the Department of Labor of-fices.

Noting that union workers at BIW helped win World War II by building a destroyer every 17 days, that the mural depicted Rosie the Riveter, and that LePage had also ordered a room named for Frances Perkins, the U.S. secretary of labor for whom the U.S. Department of Labor building is named, changed, Williams am-bushed LePage by say-ing such actions would “lead a normal adult to ask, ‘What do you have against organized labor?’”

Good question.Like many of the tea party Republicans swept

into office in 2010 by voters freaked out about the economy, LePage is no friend of organized labor. These far-right conservatives see unions, their con-tracts, and especially their pensions as the causes of our collapsing economy. Forget wars, under-tax-ation, lack of financial regulation, the growing gap between rich and poor. Working people are to blame.

LePage was very clear back in March when the mural controversy erupted that his actions were prompted by the fact that he and a handful of un-named others saw the mural as too one-sided, i.e. too pro organized labor.

That was his argument then. And that was essen-tially the argument the Maine attorney general used in the lawsuit still pending, arguing that ordering the removal of the mural was “government speech,” that LePage had a right to silence a pro-labor point of view that his administration did not endorse.

Now, trapped on national TV, LePage has ad-vanced the fiction that his objection was not to the mural’s content, but merely to the source of funding. The governor maintains that the $60,000 in federal funds used to pay for the labor history mural came from unemployment insurance funds, that the Balda-

cci administration had “robbed that account” to pay for the mural. He must know that’s not true.

The U.S. Department of Labor and the former commissioner of the Maine Department of Labor have explained repeatedly that the funds came from accounts used to support administrative functions, in this case funds left over from the Maine Department of Labor’s move into leased space to save taxpayers $300,000 a year. No Maine resident or American citizen was deprived of an unemployment check be-cause of the Maine labor history mural. That’s more than can be said of Republican leadership.

And that’s really the point here.Not only does organized labor not have any

friends in the GOP wing that seeks to blame all of our economic woes on unions, teachers, firefighters, police officers, transportation workers, postal work-ers, human services providers, and public employees in general (including, but never stated, the military and military veterans), neither do women, children, minorities, immigrants, the working poor, the el-derly, the disabled and the unemployed.

Rather than raise taxes to balance budgets and erase deficits, Republicans would prefer to bust unions, raid pensions, and gut Social Security, Medi-care, and anything else that smacks to them of an unwarranted entitlement.

Bosses, you see, believe not only that money is a good thing, but also that having acquired a great deal of it is virtuous. Not having enough money is seen by the nattering nabobs of the right as a form of moral failure. Unions have had the temerity to fight for more money and more rights for workers. Bosses hate that and don’t like being reminded of the role organized labor has played in seeking eco-nomic justice for working people.

LePage ordered the Maine labor history mural removed because he is the boss. That’s all there is to it.

Let’s just hope the courts look at the governor’s changing alibi, reject the tortured logic of the gov-ernment free speech argument, and restore the mural that tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the history of labor in Maine.

AARP Maine urges yes on Question 1

On Nov. 8, Mainers will have the opportunity, and the privilege, to cast their vote in the 2011 elections. This year, a very important question is on the ballot. I urge you to please vote yes for Election Day voter registration.

Our state has had same-day voter registration for almost 40 years without any significant problems. We have a great tradition in Maine of voter participation and involve-ment in local government. Why not keep this vibrant tradition alive by continuing to permit our residents to both register and vote on Election Day?

Many Mainers have two or even three jobs. Without Election Day voter registra-tion in place, t h e y m i g h t find it quite a challenge to juggle thei r

two or three job schedules, register to vote on one day, and then cast their vote on another.

Same-day voter registration is of paramount importance to older voters, too. It can help those with mobility issues or transportation concerns still have an opportunity to vote. Traditionally, older Americans are the most active voters of any age group and this is certainly true in Maine. We should be enabling voter participation in any way possible, not making it harder for our citizens to register and vote.

Right now our voter registration process is both simple and efficient. Let’s keep it that way. Please vote yes on Question 1.

Born in Lewiston on Nov. 9, 1992, a son of Charles A. and Leeann Ward Van Vlack, he at-tended West Harpswell Schools, Mt. Ararat High School, and had worked at Audica Landscaping.

An avid hockey player, he played in the Mid Coast Youth Hockey Program, Mt. Ararat Middle and High School hockey teams and the Gladiators of Lewiston. He also played in a Men’s Softball League with his father.

Besides being an athlete, he was a member of the Cub Scouts, Webelos, the

Gay-Straight Alliance and was interested in graphic artistry and pottery.

Van Vlack, II, of Harpswell; paternal grandparents, Charles H. and Ellen Van Vlack of Leeds; maternal grandparents, Lewis V. and Loretta Ward, Sr., of Harpswell; great-grandmother, Dorothy Kenopensky of Lisbon Falls; uncles, Robert Van Vlack of Lewiston and Laurance Ward of Harpswell; aunts, Sharah Van Vlack Pomerleau of Monmouth, and Lynette Mitchell and Cheryl Ward, both of Harpswell; and several cousins.

Cynthia M. Footer, 90BATH — M. Cynthia Footer, 90, died at

home Sept 28.On June 24, 1921, she was born in Cam-

bridge, Mass., the daughter of T. Edward and Margaret (Toothaker) Lemoine.

After her mother died when she was 6 years old she was raised by her father and stepmother Wanda Lemoine. At age 9 her family moved to Bath where she grew up and graduated from Morse High School in 1939. She attended Nasson College for one year.

During her teenage years she worked at Hallett’s Drug Store, where her future hus-band Robert was given a free Coca-Cola the first time he visited her at the soda fountain. They were married on April 25, 1942.

She co-founded and ran Mother Goose Nursery School with Laraine Cummings until 1968 when she began working at Sears Cooks Corner, where she spent 20 happy years, and enjoyed teaching classes on “How to cook in a microwave oven” when the appliance was first introduced.

Nothing meant more to her than spending time with family and friends. Her dinner parties and celebrations were cherished events for her family and friends, and her joyful smile and genuine friendliness drew people from across the country for annual events and special celebrations.

Open to new technology she added a computer to her den where she enjoyed getting emails and viewing pictures of her friends and family while watching her “programs.”

An avid reader who would easily com-plete the daily crossword puzzle, she also loved to travel and explored Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and Hawaii with her husband Bob. Her daughters took her to London, Paris, and Italy when she was 80. For over 20 years she and Bob made San Diego their winter haven, staying with their daughter Judy.

A longtime community volunteer, she volunteered at Bath Memorial Hospital and Mid Coast Hospital. In recent years she found new friends among the “Mermaids” of her aquatic exercise class at the Bath YMCA. She loved watching her grandchil-dren at their sports events, performances, and awards ceremonies.

She was predeceased by her husband Bob and two brothers, Fred Toothaker and Jerry LeMoine.

She is survived by a brother, Dick LeM-oine and his wife Judy; two sisters-in-law, Eleanor Toothaker and Lois LeMoine; many nieces andnephews; six children and their families, Jane Whittaker of Five Islands and her children, Marc, Lisa, Kristin and Amy; Susan Hummer, her husband James of Bath, and their children, Julie, Joey and Janey; Judy French Lowy, her husband Ron

Healthy living could help fight dementia

Many people are apprehensive about getting older because of the fear of los-ing their faculties. Individuals may worry that dementia could rob them of precious memories and make daily living more difficult.

Many factors can contribute to the onset of dementia, and recent research notes those factors include heart disease,

strokes and other serious health condi-tions that affect the circulatory system. But other seemingly harmless condi-tions can play a role, too. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle could help seniors fend off dementia.

Researchers in Canada studied data on more than 7,000 survey participants who answered questions of overall health. While circulatory diseases did correlate high to dementia onset, researchers dis-covered additional conditions, including arthritis, sinus infections, incontinence, and poor hearing, also played a role.

The correlation between circulatory issues and brain function may be obvious, but researchers aren’t exactly sure why minor health infractions could contribute to senility. Some suggest that people with the burden of health problems may not be able to successfully thwart deterioration of the brain that comes with dementias, including Alzheimer’s disease.

The World Alzheimer Report states that more than 35 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. These are largely brain-destroying illnesses that have no cure. But adults might be able to prevent or delay its onset. Placing a greater emphasis on overall health may help.

According to Dr. Kenneth Rockwood MD, a professor of geriatric medicine and neurology at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, who participated in the dementia study published in July 2011 in the journal Neurology, “the best thing people can do to stay physically healthy -- and thus maintain their brains, too -- is to exercise.” Other things that can be done include adopting a healthy,

Maintaining overall health is one way seniors might stave off the onset of dementias, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Healthfrom previous page

balanced diet and keeping the brain ac-tive as much as possible. Here are ways to do just that.

* Seniors can participate in low-impact exercises that promote muscle strength and flexibility. Water exercises are very good because they don’t place strain on the joints. Stretching routines, like yoga or tai chi, are also effective. Exercise plans should be discussed with a health care provider prior to starting.

* Work with a nutritionist to develop a healthy eating plan. A healthy diet is essential to keep many diseases at bay, including diabetes, obesity, heart dis-ease, and even to help maintain proper digestion.

* Keep the brain active by engaging in puzzles, like crosswords or sudoku. Reading is a way to stimulate vocabulary and also keep the brain sharp. Interact with people on a daily basis and engage in conversation.

There’s nothing like a good ‘Bad Dates’By Scott Andrews

Good Theater’s “Bad Dates”is really, re-ally good. That’s the executive summary of the opening production of this professional company’s 2011-2012 season. Theresa Rebeck’s script is thoughtful and funny, and actress Dana Cuomo infuses its Maine premiere with warmth and wit.

Portland Symphony Orchestra swings into Pops mode for the first time this season on Saturday and Sunday under the baton of maestro Robert Moody. The Men’s Glee Club of the U.S. Naval Academy will appear as featured guests at Merrill Auditorium.

Singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith and The Fabulous Ginn Sisters will appear Fri-day at One Longfellow Square.

The University of Southern Maine School of Music has a special musical presentation on Oct. 13: a screening of Huey’s latest film, “In Good Time,”about jazz pianist Marian McPartland.

‘Bad Dates’Bad experiences make for good playwrit-

ing and humorous storytelling. That’s the basic premise for “Bad Dates,”a one-wom-an play by Theresa Rebeck that opened last weekend and runs through Oct. 16 at Portland’s Good Theater.

Director Brian P. Allen has engaged New York actress Dana Cuomo to play the part of the attractive, middle-aged divorced mom who has decided to get back into the dating game, and recounts some of her misadventures.

Her first attempt involves an older man whose principal talking points are his many illnesses, cholesterol and colonoscopies. Her second date, set up by her well-mean-ing mom, is with an ill-tempered gay man. Her third date never shows up. A fourth lands her in a police station.

Although I’m not a big fan of one-man or one-woman shows, this one is excep-tionally good. Cuomo is totally engaging, and totally convincing. Her hour and a half, spent mostly sitting in her bedroom

recounting her experiences, is both funny and enlightening.

My companion, a lady who said that she’s been through a few bad dates herself, alternately winced and laughed.

Good Theater presents “Bad Dates”at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Con-gress St. in Portland (top of Munjoy Hill), through Oct. 16 with performances at 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Call 885-5883.

Portland Symphony OrchestraIn the words of Maine-born poet Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow, Portland is the “city that is seated by the sea.” One of its major streets is named for the man who is cited as “the father of the U.S. Navy,” Ed-ward Preble. And in World War II, Portland was the headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s North Atlantic Destroyer Fleet.

So it’s appropriate that “Anchors Aweigh”will be heard this weekend when the Portland Symphony Orchestra goes into Pops mode with a pair of concerts that fea-ture the Men’s Glee Club of the U.S. Naval Academy as guest artists.

The 80 singing Midshipmen will team up with a like number of PSO professional instrumentalists to perform a variety of patriotic songs, Broadway tunes and sea shanties.

Under the direction of Dr. Aaron Smith, the Men’s Glee Club is the most active of the Naval Academy’s musical groups and has achieved national prominence as one of our country’s premier men’s choral ensembles. And they’re no strangers to classical programming, appearing annually with the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra’s performances of George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah.”

PSO maestro Robert Moody’s program exudes a distinctly nautical and naval flavor. Musical theater is represented by selections from “South Pacific,”“On the Town”and “Pirates of Penzance.”Spiritual music in-cludes “Ave Maria”and the “Battle Hymn

of the Republic.”Celebrated Broadway composer Richard Rodgers is represented by his best-known purely instrumental work, the score for the 1950s television epic, “Victory at Sea.”

Portland Symphony Orchestra presents its first Pops program of the 2011-2012 season twice this weekend at Merrill Au-ditorium at Portland City Hall: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 8 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 9. Call PortTix at 828-0800.

Fred EaglesmithFred Eaglesmith’s career as a profes-

sional traveling troubadour began in the time-tested fashion. In 1972, at the age of 15, he hopped aboard a westbound freight train that took him from his boyhood home in southern Ontario to Canada’s western provinces. He’s been on the move – nowa-days he drives an RV – and making music ever since.

Over the ensuing years Eaglesmith has forged one of the most distinguished and unique independent careers in popular mu-sic, starting at the grassroots level, and he’s been a leading light in both the new folk and Americana movements. Eaglesmith returns to his former mode of transportation metaphorically via a series of festivals he calls “Roots on the Rails.”

He has cut a total of 19 CDs since 1980, most recently “6 Volts,”and has won the

Juno Award, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy.

Eaglesmith intends to stay at the cutting edge of today’s musical zeitgeist and help spark a revival of traditional rock ‘n’ roll. “I still want to be vibrant and I still want to be on fire and I still have passion,”he says. “I don’t ever wanna stay in the ghetto.”

His backup band will include The Fabulous Ginn Sisters, siblings who first achieved a measure of fame on Americana radio stations five years ago with the release of their CD, “Blood Oranges.”

Fred Eaglesmith and The Fabulous Ginn Sisters appear at One Longfellow Square, corner of Congress and State streets in Portland, at 8 p.m. Oct. 7. Call 761-1757.

‘In Good Time’Portland filmmaker Huey is known for

his portrayals of artists, and his latest proj-ect will be screened as a special event of the University of Southern Maine School of Music’s Department of Jazz.

The title is “In Good Time,”and the subject is jazz great Marian McPartland, who has been playing piano for 90 years. That’s no misprint; she started at age three and she’s still playing at 93. Although born in England, she’s best known for her many years playing New York jazz clubs and for her long-running program on National Public Radio.

McPartland has been honored as a Na-tional Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and Living Jazz Legend, and is a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame.

There will be a live pre-screening show with Huey’s commentary on making the film, which took about four years, plus a concert by USM Jazz Department students.

Catch all of this, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 13 at Hannaford Hall, 88 Bedford St. on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus. Call the USM music box office at 780-5555.

New York actress Dana Cuomo stars in “Bad Dates,” the opening show of Good Theater’s

2011-2012 season in Portland.

School Boardfrom page 5

“The purpose of the school is to educate the children and you can only do that with the teachers, and we need to make sure those people are protected as we address tight budgets,” Thompson said.

He said accepting junior high and high school students from Harpswell could be a way to address some of the town’s budget problems.

“Having an additional town tuitioning back into Brunswick I think would be won-derful and from a practical point of view, you have to go through Brunswick to get to Topsham,” where Harpswell students now attend middle and high school.

Thompson said he also thinks it’s impor-tant to try to change how the state Depart-ment of Education allocates school subsi-dies. He said education funding needs to be a larger priority of Brunswick’s legislative delegation, but also said School Board members “need to be our own advocates.”

He said he supports the idea of public

pre-school, but not until there is money to pay for it. Although he isn’t staunchly op-posed to charter schools, he said he is a firm supporter of public education.

committee investigating a consolidation between School Administrative District 75 and the Lisbon school district, as well as on the Sagadahoc County Budget Ad-visory Committee, which he has chaired for three years.

“From the day I’ve been elected I’ve been one not (to) just sit there and not question things,” he said. “I think people now respect the fact (that) ‘oh, he voted for that. He must have done his home-work; that must be OK.’”

Trusiani added that “I’m not afraid to stick my neck out there and say what I want. ... I don’t think people can say I’m a rubber stamper. And I think that’s the quality that people need, somebody that’s going to speak up for them.”

Business parkfrom page 1

Jenny Burch, the attorney for Robert and Wendy Johansen, who sued, argued that the waivers can present traffic-related dangers, such as the possibility of trucks tipping over while they take the sharper turn, without the elevated embankments.

But Horton accepted the Planning Board’s findings, writing that “the Third Amended Notice of Planning Board De-cision granting these waivers is supported by evidence on which a reasonable mind would rely. This evidence indicates that special circumstances exist, making the waivers appropriate.”

He added that the Planning Board’s “ability to infer that the waivers would result in a smaller footprint and, thus, a reduced impact on the wetland is suf-ficient evidence to support granting the waivers.”

The Planning Board originally ap-proved the third phase in April 2010, but the lawsuit filed in Sagadahoc County Superior Court by the Johansens the following month convinced Horton to remand consideration to the Planning Board. The Sept. 7 hearing followed Horton’s order of a second remand last December, and the board approved a third amended notice of decision in May.

Although the 25-acre, nine-lot phase of Wing Farm is an expansion of the busi-ness park and will be built in West Bath, all the road impact will be in Bath. Bath’s approval has been required because water and sewer lines will run along about 300

feet of a formerly unpaved road known as King’s Highway.

That road, which has been improved to facilitate the third phase, begins in Bath and leads to the lots to be developed in West Bath.

The Johansens’ 520 Centre St. property does not abut the third Wing Farm phase, but sits within 100 feet of two lots of that phase. Centre Street leads to Wing Farm Parkway and King’s Highway.

The couple’s concerns have included the impact of the access road work on wetlands, as well as the project’s lack of connectivity to any other street system and traffic growth caused by the develop-ment of the second and third phases.

The remaining issues before the court last month were the waivers the Planning Board granted for the improved access road.

“I’m very pleased with (Horton’s) decision,” Scully said Tuesday. “I think it reflects the fact that ... the judge was being very careful to make sure that the Planning Board had properly done its job, and had paid attention to the concerns that the plaintiffs had raised. I think at the end of the day, the judge correctly found that the Planning Board had done its job, and it didn’t act unreasonably, and that’s really all we can ask for.”

Burch on Monday called the process “a three-round appeal. The Johansens won

Round 1, and then they won Round 2.”“We got everything we wanted, except

for one little thing,” Burch said, refer-ring to the waivers on the access road discussed in the third round. “So we went back about the one little thing and we didn’t get that.”

Concerning the other issues the Johan-sens had raised, Burch said last month that whether or not they agreed with the decisions the Planning Board reached, “they came up with a conclusion which was based on a finding which was based on evidence in the record, and that’s their job.”

She said she and her clients were pleased with some of the board’s find-ings, including that Anchor Road should be improved for use as an emergency exit from the Wing Farm subdivision. The Planning Board called for that require-ment to be a condition of approval of the road running from Bath into the project.

“That’s the biggest thing as far as what we feel like we’ve gained,” Wendy Johan-sen said after the hearing.

Burch noted that the Johansens had other victories, too, including a provision that the Bath Planning Board will review every site development permit for the

West Bath side of Wing Farm.Horton awarded the Johansens “their

allowable costs incurred prior to the first and second remands.” He gave Bath “its allowable costs incurred after the case was remanded for the second time.”

Scully said the Johansens could still appeal the case to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

In an email Monday, the Johansens said “we are pleased that we made progress. This lawsuit was never about us personally. To know that the Anchor Road will have to be completed before more sites are developed is wonderful. People that work in the Industrial Park; children and teachers at Head Start, all need to be protected.”

They said they will try to get Bath to create “an impartial Board of Appeals, so that citizens will have a local group to ad-dress. No one person (or couple) should have to sue their city.”

Asked whether they would appeal Hor-ton’s decision, the Johansens said “we are not sure about our future plans. It’s time to do some deep breathing.”

Swapfrom page 1

Foragingfrom page 1



“I couldn’t afford to live entirely out of the supermarket,” he said.

He wouldn’t want to, either.“For me, foraging is a way of life,” he

said.Seymour starts foraging each year as

soon as the snow melts, picking plants like wild evening primrose, and continues until snow falls again. Wild plants are high in vitamins, he explained, and he often prefers to eat the weeds that invade his garden over the vegetables he planted.

He supplements his plant diet by hunting,

rent to the town and may continue to oc-cupy the third floor of McLellan at no cost for up to 10 years after the town takes pos-session of the building.

Brunswick will pay for abatement of hazardous material at Longfellow and intersection improvements at both ends of College Street, and install a speed table toward the middle of the street and rebuild the sidewalk.

Thirty-nine of the 88 parking spots be-hind McLellan will be reserved for the col-lege, and the town will get a 10-year lease on the Longfellow School playground.

The council on Monday also approved another required element of the building swap: the rezoning of the Longfellow

School property to College Use 7. The new zone allows for uses like a theater, artist stu-dios and office space, but not a recreational facility or alumni center. It also allows for a maximum density of eight units per acre.

The college hasn’t disclosed any specific details about how it will use the school building, or whether it will be demolished. Caty Longley, senior vice president for finance, administration and treasurer, told the Planning Board in a Sept. 8 letter that “the primary use will be an Educational Facility as defined in the Brunswick Zoning Ordinance.”

Brown said the town council has a lease from Bowdoin for the existing council chambers at Maine Street Station until September 2014 and will continue to meet there. The town may swap 28 Federal St., the current town offices, for the land at the

corner of Pleasant and Stanwood streets owned by the Brunswick Development Corp., which is slated to become a police station.

The council also voted to send rezoning of that lot to the Planning Board. The new zoning would abolish size restrictions on new municipal buildings throughout town. Currently, the TR-1 zoning district, which encompasses the corner of Pleasant and Stanwood streets, only allows buildings up to 7,500 square feet – smaller than the existing 10,000-square-foot police station.

Brown made it clear that the changes would only apply to municipal buildings, and would not pave the way for large commercial development on that site or

elsewhere in town.Moving forward with the initial design

of the new police station, the council au-thorized Brown to hire the Boston-based architecture firm Donham & Sweeney and pay them $75,000. Although the firm isn’t local, Brown said they would partner with engineering and consulting firms from Brunswick and the greater Portland area.

In other business, the council set public hearings for Oct. 17 on several items, in-cluding ordinance amendments that would allow farm animals in the growth area, two Community Development Block Grants and zoning amendments to the Telecom-munications 2 Overlay Zone that would allow an AM radio tower to be built off Old Portland Road.



and fishing from the pond behind his house in Waldo, which he stocks with trout.

For income he writes books, and gets most of the writing done on days when it’s not nice enough to be outside.

Being an author is only the latest in a string of jobs Seymour has held through-out his life. In addition to guiding hunting and fishing trips, he worked as a fire tower warden and serves as a pastor at his church.

Recently, he said he’s been noticing an increased popularity in foraging that he attributes to a resurgence of the “back-to-the-land” movement. More people pay him to teach classes on identifying wild edibles, and he gladly obliges them.

He advises new foragers to learn one plant at a time, rather than trying to learn to identify hundreds.

During the nature walk that followed his presentation at Thornton Oaks, he found the first wrinkled, gold cup – a chanterelle – peeping through a mat of dead leaves on the side of a trail. They had popped up all over a 20-foot square section of the forest, and about two pounds of them were quickly picked.

It doesn’t seem right to call what Sey-mour does “foraging” because he rarely

heads into the woods on a mission to find food, educational excursions aside. Most of his successful expeditions begin as a stroll through his woodlot, and end with a basket (or sweater) full of chanterelles.

Other times, people call him to identify some weird fungus that appeared beneath their porch, and he ends up taking home half of it.

“It’s reaping what you didn’t sow,” he said.

And it is, for Seymour, the only way to eat.

The council last month also authorized the Parks and Recreation Department to move the existing assets of the Bath Youth Meetinghouse and Skatepark – which has operated at the old Y – to the former National Guard Armory for storage until use of that Old Brunswick Road building has been determined.

The council additionally appropriated $5,000 from its contingency account to pay for preliminary studies of improve-ments, renovations and repairs at the armory. Last year, the council approved borrowing up to $175,000 to purchase the building.

Bath councilfrom page 1

The fate of the armory will be dis-cussed in a City Council workshop at City Hall at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19. Both that meeting and the Nov. 9 work-shop will allow public comment.

On the subject of fireworks, Giroux said the city’s police and fire chiefs indi-cated “they have great concern given the density of much of the city.”

“There certainly is need to be con-cerned, if you picture the more dense residential areas of the city ... where you have buildings that are right next to each other,” he added, noting that someone fir-ing a large amount of fireworks on Inde-pendence Day could create problems for neighbors and public safety personnel.

Fire Chief Steve Hinds said he is not a proponent because he is concerned about their use in places like apartment complexes.

it if they want, and allows the land to be used better in these downtown areas,” he said.

The Planning Board would ultimately have the power to compel a developer to create parking spots, even if the devel-oper opted to pay the fee instead.

Portland’s City Council approved such an ordinance last year, but thus far no one has taken advantage of the parking opt-out, said Bill Needelman, senior planner

in the city’s planning division.Needelman said few large commercial

developments have been approved in the past year, so there hasn’t been an oppor-tunity to test the new ordinance.

He said the idea behind the ordinance is to “look at the transportation demand of a project, not just the parking de-mand,” which allows the developer to make their projects better fit in with the neighborhood.

“There are entire sections of this city that are too compressed for any type of fireworks, period,” he said. “... You can shoot off basic fireworks at one address,

and (have) it land numerous addresses away. That’s a huge problem for us.”Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@
