FALMOUTH — School ad-ministrators are letting students take the lead in dealing with the death of a beloved second-grade teacher and planning for his me-morial service.

The service for Kevin Grover, 40, of Falmouth, will be held Saturday, Dec. 1, at 2 p.m., at the

Falmouth High School gym.Grover, a second-grade teacher

at Falmouth Elementary School and former Maine Teacher of the Year, died Thanksgiving morn-ing near Rangeley after returning from a run.

Karen Boffa, co-principal of Falmouth Elementary, said that student reaction to Grover’s death has been mixed, but the staff has

done a great job anticipating their needs and helping them maintain some semblance of a routine.

“The kids know that however they feel or whatever they need, they can do that in their class,” she said. “What we find is kids really want routine. Routines are what help us through these tough

Falmouth restricts size of Route 1 businessesBy Amber Cronin

FALMOUTH — The Town Council on Monday unani-mously approved a footprint limit for businesses in the Route 1 commercial district.

The vote put an end to four months of negotiations and council debate over limits on the size of businesses along Route 1.

Councilor Bonny Rodden said establishing a maximum footprint is the first step in plan-ning the future of Falmouth and Route 1.

“With a vote tonight the council will take a major step in defining the character of our town,” she said Monday night. “(With the vote) we are saying Falmouth is a community that thrives on small business and a walkable environment for residents. With this vote we are giving parameters to the busi-ness community.”

Against the wishes of many business owners and advocates, who said setting a limit puts unnecessary constraints on busi-nesses, councilors set ground-floor tenant footprint limits of 50,000 square feet for new construction and 60,000 square feet for existing nonconforming

Portland brewery hopping up to FreeportBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — A Port-land microbrewer hopes to move into an expanded brewery next spring on Route 1 in Freeport.

Maine Beer Co., started in 2009 by brothers David and Daniel Kleban, will almost double its production at the new brewery on the site of the old Dutch Village Motel, near Exit 20 of Interstate 295.

In addition to increasing production, the brothers plan to add a tasting room that will seat about 25 people, David Kleban said.

“Right now, (a tasting room) doesn’t really work,” he said Tuesday, at their Portland brewery off Forest Avenue, pointing out that the current tasting room is the size of a small office and abuts the noisy brewery. “(The new room) is just there for people that want to learn more about our beer, or who already know about it, to come check out our digs. We’ll probably have a few beers that aren’t for sale elsewhere. For our loyal followers, we’ll have some-thing a little different.”

The existing brewery produces 3,000 barrels of beer a year, or about 58,000 12-bottle cases. With the

Palmer said that although DEP is requiring the permit, his review of the property has not revealed any problems with storm-water runoff from the fields.

“The law (that prompts the review) was not written to address this kind of proj-ect,” Palmer said, noting that, although the town is only planning to develop a small portion of the land, the fields are considered part of a common scheme

of development, forcing the permitting process for the entire parcel. “We don’t see any signs of too high runoff into the streams. From a quantity standpoint, there’s no issue.”

Historically, DEP has not given any relief for permitting this kind of project even though no water quality problem exists, Palmer said, noting that this has

Freeport council balks at $270K DEP permitBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — Despite a light agenda Tuesday night, the Town Council found plenty to discuss.

After moving quickly through the short list of action items on the agenda, which included appointing an election warden

for the Dec. 4 special council election and acting on tax two items, councilors zeroed in on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s permit re-quirement for the sports fields on Hunter and Pownal roads, west of Interstate 295.

Town Engineer Albert Presgraves and environmental consultant Al Palmer, of Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers, reviewed where the town stands in the permitting process and noted that the cost of the permit has increased to an estimated $270,000, dramatically higher than earlier estimates of $40,000.

Drink, drive, go to jail! That is the currentmantra of The National Highway TrafficSafety Administration ( NHTSA). The old adcampaign had the number .08 with a circleand a red slash. Some of us are old enough toremember the days when the standard MaineDriver’s License had a chart on the back witha “green” zone and a “red” zone purporting toadvise us about how much was too much andhow much was just enough to drink and beokay to drive. That chart was also prominentlydisplayed in poster form on the walls ofMaine’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles registries.Although the message has changed, the lawhas not. It is not against the law to drink anddrive in our state. It is against the law to drivewhile under the influence of alcohol (and/ordrugs). A person is legally under the influenceif his breath-alcohol concentration is 0.08per cent or higher OR his mental or physicalfaculties or impaired to the slightest degree.If you do chose to drink and drive, you shouldfollow the advice given in many other ads:Always drink responsibly. Use goodjudgment. Set a limit and stick to it.

N. Yarmouth welcomes Christmas with potluck, tree lightingBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — The town will bask in the Yuletide spirit this week-end with its annual potluck supper and Christmas tree lighting.

The “beloved tradition” has run at

least a dozen years, according to Katie Murphy, member of North Yarmouth’s Events Committee.

“We keep it very simple,” Murphy said. “People always bring wonderful potluck contributions.”

The event will be held at Wescustogo Hall on Route 115 on Sunday, Dec. 2. The supper begins at 5 p.m., and par-ticipants are asked to bring a side dish, entree or drink to share. After an hour, the tables will be cleared and carols will be sung before the group heads outside to light the tree.

The North Yarmouth Community Band

will lend its music to the festivities.After the tree lighting, drinks and

cookies will be served.“We always say, if everybody’s good,

Santa might make an appearance, and he hasn’t failed yet,” Murphy said.

The event – which has been a collab-orative effort of the Walnut Hill Garden Club, the Events Committee and the North Yarmouth Historical Society – also includes several raffles of Christmas stockings and baskets. Proceeds go toward the town’s heating fund, aiding residents who cannot afford to pay their oil bills.

Apple of their eye: Cumberland family continues 200-year-old orchard traditionBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then two centuries’ worth would have to make you the picture of health.

Sweetser’s Apple Barrel & Orchards goes back that far, spanning several gen-erations of a family that has combined hard work with a hobby that’s never lost its luster.

It was in 1812 – the year the United States went to war a second time with Great Britain, and “Father of the Consti-tution” James Madison was elected to a second term as president – that a family homestead was built on Blanchard Road for Hannah Pittee. The orchard’s story begins there, although it wasn’t until the late 1830s that the first trees were planted on the 14-acre property, according to Greg Sweetser.

It was Sweetser’s great-great-grand-father, Samuel Robinson Sweetser, who married Pittee’s daughter, Mary Jane, and started the orchard.

“Like every homestead that was built (at the time), everybody had a farm,” Greg Sweetser said last week. “So they had animals and agriculture. But Sam really was the one that got the orchards going. ... Apples became really the mainstay of the property; they’re the one consistent product that’s been produced here.”

Samuel Sweetser’s son, Frederick, tried his hand at a meat business along with the orchard, a venture that had some suc-cess in the early 20th century. But when federal food and drug laws called for refrigeration of the product during trans-portation, and the business’s transporta-tion was limited to horses and wagons or sleds to reach Portland stores, that part of the operation folded.

The 1812 house still stands, with an ell built in 1850, and it has housed subse-quent generations of Sweetsers, including Greg and his wife, Deborah, and their sons Samuel and Eben, who attend col-lege in Utah. Greg runs the orchard with his parents, Dick and Connie Sweetser, who live in another house on the property.

Also on the property – which has about 1,100 apple-bearing trees – is a roadside stand, where the business sells its prod-ucts from August through November. Seventy of the orchard’s trees are more than 150 years old, and while they aren’t as efficient at bearing fruit as younger ones, they remain beautiful and classic, Sweetser said.

Some of the apple varieties that Samuel Sweetser planted are no longer available, including Jewett’s Fine Red, Benoni and

Alex leAr / The ForecAsTerThe story of Sweetser’s Apple Barrel and Orchards began 200 years ago with construction of the still-standing homestead. Among the stewards of the ongoing family business are, from left, Dick

and Connie Sweetser, their son Greg, and his son Eben.

Mother, but other original varieties con-tinue to be grown, like Rolfe, Wealthy and Northern Spy, according to maineapple.com. The orchard now grows 50 varieties of apples.

Sweetser, who credits his grandfather, Herman Sweetser, for expanding the or-chard’s variety, noted that “more people are retailing, so having a variety makes a big difference.”

“The thought is to keep this unique branding going, and the history of the property, but like every family business, it’s a struggle,” Sweetser said, pointing out that the orchard has been more a hobby for him and his 86-year-old father – both have had careers elsewhere.

“It’s a great retirement job,” the 58-year-old said, noting that the family is experiencing a “generational squeeze,

where the older generation is aging ... and I’m still in my career, so it’s a balance.”

Sweetser, executive director of the Ski Maine Association, said the business has employed a manager for the past two years, the first time it has done so. He and his family moved back to Cumberland from Rangeley in 1996, in order to help sustain the orchard.

“It’s been nice to live in the home-stead,” he said, “because ... we’re able to ... renovate the place, and prepare it for the next generation. You never know what the next generation is going to do, but at least we’ll have (the house) in a sustained position.”

Since the orchard has become a hobby, it’s not something his sons are yet ready to undertake, Sweetser said, adding that it’s hard to predict their long-term interest.

“The future’s hard to say, and that’s always another challenge of family busi-nesses ... how to transition to the next generation,” he said. “But I have a good long life ahead of me, so we know that things will be stable for a number of years ahead.”Alex lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Two years later, Caroline’s perfor-mance has matched her potential.

She has applied her strong discipline to excelling in the classroom, where she has maintained an A average while major-ing in Government & Legal Studies and minoring in Spanish. Just as important, she has fulfilled her passion for making

a difference in Maine and beyond.During her first year, Blake volun-

teered with College Students for College, a student service group that brings area high school students to campus for infor-mation sessions about college planning. She assumed leadership of the group the next year.

During her sophomore year, she spent an Alternative Winter Break in Portland, where she and other Bowdoin students led a three-day workshop on goal setting and college planning for immigrant and refugee children at a Portland middle school.

That experience led her to take a com-munity-based Spanish course. Through that course, Blake and her classmates connected to the community by tutoring immigrants in English at Centro Latino, a community center for Spanish-speaking immigrants in Portland.

This past spring, Blake’s service com-mitment took her farther afield. She spent another Alternative Spring Break in Washington, D.C., where she and fellow trip members addressed issues of hunger and homelessness by volunteering in

Freeport aids Freeport: Students coordinate post-Sandy reliefBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — A local high school student is leading a drive to deliver new school supplies to students in Freeport, N.Y., where a school was closed due to damage from Hurricane Sandy last month.

Senior Abigial Smith is organizing the effort, called Freeport to Freeport, with the Interact Club at Freeport High School. The donations will be sent to Giblyn Elementary School on Long Island, N.Y., which was flooded with more than six inches of water, ruining school supplies, infrastructure and dozens of musical instruments, said Freeport Schools Superintendent Kishore Kun-cham.

The more than 550 students at the school are now attending classes at four neighboring schools. Their school is expected to reopen Dec. 10, Kunchman said, noting that although the elementary school was not damaged as severely as some of the other Long Island schools, he estimates the cost of the damage to be more than $1.5 million.

Smith said she began organizing with one of the Interact Club advisers, Dede Bennell, after seeing the damage caused by the hurricane on TV.

“I was watching the news and saw the damage caused by this disaster and how some people had lost everything,” she

Yarmouth teachers get national certification

YARMOUTH — Two high school art teachers have earned a national teaching certification.

Holly Houston and Melissa Noack are the first teachers at Yarmouth High School to receive the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards certifi-cation.

The certification requires teachers to submit a portfolio and three-hour as-sessment from the board. During the assessment, teachers must "demonstrate knowledge from their content area, a commitment to student learning, devel-oped pedagogical skills and dedication to their profession," according to a press release from the School Department.

They join about 100,000 other teachers who have been certified since 1987.

According to a statement from the MTA, temporary pavement was put on the roadway so the bridge could be opened during the holidays and winter months.

The bridge will have to be closed again for about one week in the spring to permanently pave the bridge, roadway approaches and nearby driveways.

School counselor likes PossibilityU

As a school counselor who relies on PossibilityU, I was surprised by the unbalanced article about the online college admissions services it offers. I wish the reporter had spoken with me or a family at Morse High School about how effective it is as part of the very intense and complicated college admissions process. We can all use an extra hand and expert advice with this major life mile-stone for our children, especially with the ever higher debt from pursuing a college degree. PossibilityU is an afford-able and accessible item in the student’s (and family’s) higher education toolkit. It also struck me as odd that while PossibilityU is partnered with Pearson, the leading

Graham thanks District 109 voters

Thank you to the people of Gray, North Yarmouth and Pownal for hiring me for two more years to represent House District 109 in Augusta. I thank Susan Austin for her gracious congratulations. Sue has served the people of Gray for eight years at the Statehouse and countless years as a member of the community. She deserves thanks and praise for her hard work and devotion.

Thank you to my wonderful friends who drove me to doors, made phone calls on my behalf and wrote positive supportive letters to the editor. Your kindness carried me through the many days of campaigning and I could not have won without you.

I return to Augusta with a renewed commitment to work for the people of our community. I am a public ser-vant and I will do my best to serve you well. Thank you for your votes. Now it is time to get to work.

American Legion thanks Yarmouth donors

Post No. 91 of the American Legion in Yarmouth would like to thank all those that made our 2012 Veterans Tur-key Drive on Nov. 20 a big success. We started with a tremendous gift from Hannaford Bros. in Yarmouth, and would like to thank store manager Mike Dawes. We re-ceived a major contribution from the Royal River Post of the VFW, and numerous members of our post, plus area residents and local church members were very generous. Our previous record three years ago was 70 turkeys and $700 cash and gift cards, and while the 29 turkeys we collected didn't break the record, the $965 in cash and gift cards shattered the old mark. We made deliveries of turkeys and cash to local food banks in Yarmouth and the new food bank in Cumberland/North Yarmouth, and a large donation to Wayside Rescue Mission in Portland. The best feeling is helping to provide Thanksgiving dinners to many families in need, and second is the joy in giving shown by area residents and veterans. As one of our members said with a smile as he unloaded three 15-pound turkeys from his car, "I've been blessed so I want to help three other families." We hope to be back in action for Thanksgiving 2013 and strive to collect more turkeys and donations for area food banks.

Rail advocate clarifies long-term goal

I’ve just seen Edgar Allen Beem’s piece “Riding the rails” and I believe he misunderstood my emphasis on one point. He writes, referring to me, that “... His own new vision is for a second passenger line out of Maine through Worcester and Providence to New York City, etc.”

A through train between Portland and New York over the original State of Maine Express has been part of TrainRiders/Northeast’s original goals and objectives created by its board of directors in 1989. It is not a new idea and certainly not my “... own new vision ... .” I do remember saying to Mr. Beem that “personally I’d like to see that goal completed before I move on ...,” but to refer to it as a new idea and my own personal idea is simply not correct.

Our school learned about PossibilityU through MEL-MAC. After Betsy Peters presented this very fresh,

informative product, I was sure it was out of our price range. But talking with Peters we were able to purchase every junior and senior a one-year account for under $10 per student. Although this is our first year using PossibilityU, we have already had very favorable reports

from students and parents who have found it helpful. Pos-sibilityU is a great additional resource for families and schools interested in helping kids make sound, personal-ized decision as they invest in their future.

Dysfunction is all in the (American) family

Mercifully, election season has come to an end. Families from coast to coast bowed their heads in gratitude as they gathered at their Thanksgiving tables last week.

Successful candidates will now transition from the gaudy brutality of the campaign trail to the formida-ble, if less colorful, task of governing. The presi-dent and Congress can now confront in earnest a sluggish economy, mounting debt, the so-called fiscal cliff, two wars (more or less), an ever-volatile Middle East, immigration and climate change.

Of course, the media pundits have already transitioned, moving seamlessly from pre- and post-election polls to the partisan debt negotiations, to diplo-matic crises, and, inevitably, to the alternate universe inhabited by the political and military elite and their slightly unhinged admirers.

It would all be rather disheartening if we didn’t have several centuries of experience dealing with the political lurches and oscillations of this country. Winston Churchill famously observed that Americans can always be counted upon to do the right thing, after having exhausted every other possibility; in other words, it won’t be pretty, but America and Americans will always get to where we need to be in the end.

The knowledge, or at least the confidence, that we will, after all, be fine brings to mind one of those memes that makes its way around the Internet from time to time in which the writer says, “When I die, no gentle passing for me. I want to arrive at Heaven’s Gate in a cloud of dust amid squealing brakes, bat-tered and bruised, winded and spent, with a bonehead smile on my face, saying, ‘Man, what a ride!’”

In fact, that’s a bit what it’s like to be an American these days. The tortuous path to passage of the Af-fordable Care Act was characterized by fractious ar-gument and demagoguery all the way to the Supreme Court, and thereafter by months of public handwring-ing. In the end, most of the law was upheld, and most states and employers have simply set about the busi-ness of complying.

In September, the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was overrun and four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, died. Initial reports attributed the deaths to a spontaneous uprising of angry Libyans re-acting to an incendiary, if childish, anti-Islamic video. Some smell a cover-up, however, and are questioning

the competence, veracity and integrity of everyone from the president to UN Ambassador Susan Rice to former CIA Director David Petraeus.

Experience tells us, however, that after a few weeks of very public accusation and castigation, this tragic incident will take its place alongside many others in which dedicated public servants have perished, owing to failure to act, failure to fund, failure to protect, failure to heed, and so on. The truth will out, blame will be apportioned and we will move on.

In fact, America’s political excesses seem only to become crises when they are fomented into a sine wave of peaks and valleys as part of the media’s relentless quest for headlines and ratings. When there is no actual crisis, one must be created. When there is nothing new to report, what has been reported must be repeated, at higher volume.

The overarching goal may be to inform, but deliver-ing popular outrage and higher ratings is essential. No surprise, then, that another meme making the rounds is that our politics, if not our system of government, is broken. As proof of our national dysfunction we are reminded that the cost of presidential and congressio-nal campaigns this year will approach $6 billion.

Cue the hysteria.Six billion dollars is real money, but, just for com-

parison sake, we should note that in 2011 Americans also spent $10 billion on romance novels, $7 billion on Halloween, and $2.2 billion on tattoos.

Obviously we should be concerned about the influ-ence of money in politics, but perhaps this election showed that somehow or other, our cumbersome, nasty, ugly and fractious sausage factory of a system worked. Many, if not most, who spent a fortune to sway the results failed to achieve their objectives. In the end, Americans voted, elected their candidates, and accepted the outcomes.

Thus we move on.So let’s take a deep breath. Whatever the challenge,

whatever the crisis, we know that getting through it won’t be pretty, yet we will find a way to get it done.

This country is like one of those crazy families that screams at one another around the holiday table, but somehow still considers itself a family. As Warren Buffett said, however, it has never paid to bet against America.

Our current crisis notwithstanding, I wouldn’t start now.

PATHS produces a bountiful ‘harvest’

If you’re just tuning in, Portland Arts and Technical High School is an under-appreciated local institution dedicated to finding and creating appropriate holes for some of the less round pegs, including my daughter, in area high schools.

I ’ve wr i t ten about PATHS recently and feel a bit sheepish about re-visiting it so soon, but my experience at the re-cent Thanksgiving brunch (called a “harvest meal,” for legal reasons, no doubt) put on by the food program there resonated too strongly.

I hope I’m not singling out one school and one program in that school simply because Elizabeth is a student. In my de-fense, PATHS impressed me quite by accident before she even started there. I stopped off at a nearby Starbucks on my way to the chiropractor – yeah, I’m pretty much a jet-setter – and noticed a striking collage of commercial art. I thought it was a corporate commission, and literally did not believe the person who told me it was a collection of student work from PATHS. (Incidentally, baristas are less enthusiastic about being called liars than you would think. In case you are ever tempted to do that.)

The brunch is food for us and a series of assignments to the kids. They are getting restaurant training, includ-ing working with the public. The first person we met was Elizabeth’s classmate, Michael. I usually only see Michael when I drop Elizabeth off at Scarborough High School, pacing the sidewalk, seemingly in his own world until she gets out of the car. He checks the traffic and waves her across the street, half traffic cop, half protec-tive big brother, then goes back to his solitary pacing.

At the harvest meal, he was a shy but gracious host, saying, “Hello, Mrs. Langworthy, and you must be Elizabeth’s father.” Well rehearsed, well delivered. A moment later Elizabeth started to run toward us, caught herself, slowed down and also greeted us like a good restaurant host. I was impressed and touched. Impressed and touched became the emotions of the morning.

After Elizabeth stopped me from going in the wrong door – because suddenly “rules” matter – she ushered us to the cafeteria entrance, still gracious, still accompanied by Michael, our other personal greeter. I was just begin-ning to wonder what kind of Prussian regime must have been required to instill so much responsibility so quickly when the cafeteria door opened and Mr. Divinsky, the head of the program, stepped into the hall.

“Welcome to our Harvest Meal!”He beamed. I laughed. Mr. D., as apparently every-

Democracy for saleIn the two years since the conservative ideologues

on the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Citizens United that corporations should be free to spend as much money as they want on U.S. elections, we have seen the predicted flood of ill-gotten gain pour into our democracy like Sandy into Jersey.

Just imagine what we could have done with the estimated $6 billion to $8 billion wasted on political pornography in 2012.

The good news is that the filthy lucre of the U.S. Chamber and Super PACs generally did not sway the outcome of elections. Close to $11 million was spent on Maine’s U.S. Senate race, for instance, and the numbers at the polls were the same as they were when the candi-dates announced – An-gus King by a landslide, Charlie Summers with the hardcore GOP 30 percent and Cynthia Dill in the teens. We were all, however, forced to endure crass lies, distortions and hyperbole for several months while corporate fat cats tried to buy our votes.

Justice Samuel Alito recently defended the highly controversial Idiots United decision on the grounds that, unless all corporations were free to spend un-limited amounts of money on elections, only media corporations would have free speech. Leave it to a conservative to argue that allowing big corporations to buy American elections is the American way.

For most of my life, from 1949 to 1987, the U.S. had the Fairness Doctrine in place, requiring that hold-ers of broadcast licenses present all sides of issues in a fair, honest and balanced way. There is still an Equal Time provision for political candidates. We used to know how to regulate the political marketplace.

Now the quintet of court clowns who decided Citizens United, overturning more than a century of precedents, insist that money is free speech. Money is not speech and it certainly isn’t free speech. They also held that corporations are people. Only corporate stooges believe that. Never in a million years would the Founding Fathers, who conservatives are so fond of embracing (and misunderstanding), have contemplated granting the same rights to a legal entity that apply to

human beings.The Roberts Court is so wrong in so many ways, not

the least of which being the American people’s com-plete loss of faith in the Supreme Court, that there are now several movements afoot to seek a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United.

Personally, I could support Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Saving American Democracy Amendment, which would amend the U.S. Constitution to make it clear that “1) Corporations are not persons with constitu-tional rights equal to real people, 2) Corporations are subject to regulation by the people, 3) Corporations may not make campaign contributions or any elec-tion expenditures, and 4) Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.”

This makes so much common sense that there is no way it is ever going to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. The more likely scenario is that Obama-appointed justices will eventually reverse Citizens United. Neither corporations nor unions should be allowed to contribute to candidates or elections.

In the meantime, we have to put up with shadowy cabals pumping obscene amounts of money into state and national elections and delusional conservatives suppressing the vote and seeing phantom Black voters appear out of nowhere. It seems they just can’t believe that they couldn’t buy this election. Sorry, Mitt, but the truth is free and far more powerful than an expensive lie.

If we are not going to enact meaningful campaign finance reform however, maybe it is time to put democracy up for sale. Republicans want to privatize everything anyway, so why not elections?

Instead of corporate profits (made by exploiting workers, consumers and the environment) enriching television, radio and newspaper corporations with millions and billions in political advertising, maybe we should skip the middle men and let the money go straight to voters.

My Selling American Democracy Amendment would state that 1) registered voters are free to sell their votes to the highest bidder and 2) whoever buys the most votes wins. At least that way there would be no pretense of democratic purity, and the American people would get the benefit of the corrupt dollars, not the very media outlets that should be exposing the financial rot at the heart of the American political system.

body in the world but me calls him, wore a chef’s hat shaped like a cooked turkey. The drumsticks were on top like horns. A bold statement, meeting your students’ parents with your head up a turkey’s butt. (I don’t know: maybe he has political aspirations. Start with a turkey’s butt and work your way up the food chain until you’re ready to run for Congress.) In any case, the visual killed my theory of a rigid authoritarian classroom.

I got my plate from a girl who was given that job to encourage her to be more outgoing (it was Elizabeth’s job, too). Down syndrome, autism, physical and devel-opmental disabilities were all represented on the line. A different student served each dish. Behind the servers were the teachers – encouraging, reinforcing, praising and somehow finding time to exchange pleasantries with parents. They were a well-oiled food-service machine. I think the only time the line slowed down was when I stopped to deal with my sensory overload. Fortunately, Elizabeth and Carol kept me moving; these same kids had to serve the rest of the school.

When you know how much energy it takes for one special needs child to meet his or her challenges, it can be overwhelming to see a group of kids with a broad range of developmental issues work together to accom-plish a common goal. It is more poignant when that goal is to serve the people who spend so much time serving them. Seeing their concentration, and their pride when it comes together, can be almost too much to bear. Or maybe it was just me. All I know is waves of emotion broke over me as I went down the service line.

The food was a pleasant surprise, by the way. It didn’t top the food I remember from Thanksgiving at my grandparents’ house, but it was good, and it was a lot better for me. I grew up in the Midwest, where butter is a spice. Also, I did not have to eat with my extended family, whose guiding principle seemed to be that argu-ments come and go, but resentment is forever. So we always ate our turkey with a side of thinly veiled hostil-ity and a big bowl of tension for dessert. The dynamic at PATHS was different. For one thing, everybody seemed to want to be there. Also, the kids generally seemed to feel pretty good about themselves.

My mind has gone back to that “harvest meal” several times in the last week or so, and it always makes me smile. So to everybody associated with the event, and especially to the kids, I offer my sincerest “harvest.”

Kevin Michael Grover, 40: beloved educator, dedicated advocateDALLAS PLANTATION — Kevin Mi-

chael Grover, 40, a husband, father, brother, son, teacher and friend died unexpectedly from a heart attack in Dallas Plantation on Nov. 22.

The son of Michael O. Grover and Li-anne Janelle Grover of Greene, Grover was born on March 1, 1972. He graduated from St. Dominic High School in Auburn in 1990 and received a bachelor’s degree in elemen-tary education from the University of Maine at Farmington in 1995. He continued his education and received a master’s from the

Teacher of the Year. He used his position as Teacher of the Year to raise funds and awareness for educational issues. In addi-tion, he organized fun runs and volunteered at the Falmouth Food Pantry.

Grover was loved and respected by both his students and his peers. His classroom was frequently filled with the sound of second graders laughing and learning while his co-workers enjoyed his pleasant nature which complemented his consummate pro-fessionalism as an educator. He loved learn-ing about the latest advances in technology and shared that affinity with his students.

An avid runner, Grover had many in-terests including hiking, fishing, canoeing and camping especially at Stephen Phillips Preserve on Mooselookmaguntic Lake. His greatest joy, however, involved any activity he shared with his wife, Becky, and his daughter, Lillian, 11, and son, Elias, 8.

In addition to his wife, children, and parents, he leaves his siblings Jeffrey Gro-ver and his wife, Julia, of Millis, Mass., Christopher Grover and his wife, Mindy, of Cumberland, and Laura Grover, of Bloom-ington, Ind.

A celebration of his life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Falmouth High School gymnasium, 58 Woodville Road, Falmouth.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Grover Family Fund at any TD Bank.

To honor his work at the Falmouth Food Pantry, his family requests that non-perish-able foods be donated at the Celebration.

Cremation arrangements were cared for by the Wiles Funeral Home, Cremation Service & Remembrance Center, 137 Farm-ington Falls Road in Farmington.

Greely swim star commits to ArkansasGreely senior swimming standout Sarah Easterling (joined by her father, Jeff, left,

and Greely coach Rob Hale) signs her National Letter of Intent to attend and swim at the University of Arkansas during a ceremony Monday afternoon. Easterling is a reigning Class B state champion (and record holder) in the breaststroke and individual medley and was Greely’s Winter Female Athlete of the Year in 2010 and 2011.

“I always wanted to go (Division I),” said Easterling, who’s undecided on a major, but expresses interest in sports science. “It’s really an exciting day. I went on two other recruiting trips, but Arkansas was definitely my favorite. They’re really good. Last week, they were ranked third out of all D1 swim schools. I’m not going to be the best swimmer. I’ll be in the middle, which is what I wanted. I wanted to go somewhere where I’ll be pushed.”

“(Sarah’s) the best swimmer I’ve had, male or female,” said Hale. “The team is very proud of her. You can tell by the record board that things happen when she gets in the water. You take diving out and she has all but one of the swimming records. Her versatility is what drew colleges. She can do all the strokes. She has a sweet demeanor, but in the pool, she’s a tiger.”

Like the layers of the food chain in the natural world, Fancy Food Chain by Jada Fitch displays a hierarchy

designed to be devoured. In jewel-like colors and detailed structure, the three sets of varied fictional animals come

to life in a combination of graphite, watercolor and colored pencil. Each creature’s features are based on successful traits of existing life, but as imagined by the artist’s mind, sometimes with surprising results. The

Out & About

Christmas at the Cathedral, Natalie MacMaster, more

Fiddler Natalie MacMaster will bring her Christmas show to Merrill Auditorium in Portland on Dec. 4.

By Scott AndrewsMusical offerings dominate this week’s top choices in

the performing arts.Without doubt, the No. 1 pick for the weekend will

be Christmas at the Cathedral. The Choral Art Society produces this concert, with four performances scheduled for Dec. 1-2 in Portland.

Another big concert will be Natalie MacMaster’s Dec. 4 Christmas show at Merrill Auditorium. Best-known as a traditional Canadian fiddler who plays in the Cape Breton style, MacMaster adds a distinctively modern touch to her music.

Two very unconventional groups are also performing in Portland. The Bob Band, a tribute act that performs the music of Bob Dylan, appears this Saturday at One Longfellow Square. The Bob Band is celebrating the 45th anniversary of the release of Dylan’s album “John Wesley Harding.”

Cadillac Moon Ensemble will appear on the Portland String Quartet’s subscription series on Sunday. But don’t expect a traditional string quartet. Cadillac Moon Ensemble is an avant-garde group from New York that comprises violin, cello, flute and percussion.

Christmas at the CathedralIf you are among the many traditionalists who are

profoundly saddened by the blizzard of over-hyped, in-your-face commercialism that dominates contemporary Christmas celebrations, you should know that the perfect musical antidote is coming up this weekend.

For a pleasing, harmonious and spiritual experience that is totally in keeping with the core concept of the season, attend the Choral Art Society’s 25th annual Christmas at the Cathedral. I’ve been going for about 10 years, and this outstanding concert has become my personal No. 1.

Under the direction of Robert Russell, a longtime University of Southern Maine professor, the CAS offers a program that exalts the traditional music of the Advent season, augmented by modern works that are in total harmony with those traditions.

Joined by the Portland Brass Quintet plus Dan Moore on the cathedral’s organ, CAS will perform a variety of traditional and modern Christmas music. This year’s guest artist is Suzanne Nance, a conservatory-trained operatic soprano who is best known for hosting the Maine Public Radio’s classical music show.

To mark the 25th anniversary of Christmas at the Cathedral, the CAS has commissioned a new work for brass quintet and chorus from Boston Conservatory music

professor Kevin Siegfried.Each year’s concert includes the signature processional,

“Personent Hodie,” an arrangement of a Renaissance tune for brass and organ. The concert concludes with “Silent Night” performed by singers holding lighted candles and encircling the hall.

CAS has about 150 members. All singers are selected by audition; their goal is to enhance their personal musi-cal experience and enrich the cultural life of southern Maine. In addition to their own slate of concerts, CAS performs a major work nearly every year with the Port-land Symphony Orchestra.

Four performances are planned this weekend at Cathe-dral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress St. in Portland: Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 2 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. In addition, a “special preview” concert will be held on Saturday, Dec. 1 at noon. Call 828-0043.

Natalie MacMasterPortland Ovations brings holiday cheer to Merrill

Auditorium with its presentation of virtuoso Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster in a special Christmas show on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

MacMaster will perform her holiday concert, titled “Christmas in Cape Breton,” which takes the audience on a musical sleigh ride through Nova Scotia by way of both traditional and contemporary Celtic melodies and Christmas carols. MacMaster brings boundless energy to her live performances with foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-rending ballads and world-class step dancing.

I’ve attended her concerts on several occasions, and she’s definitely one of the most vibrant performing art-ists I’ve ever seen. MacMaster has established herself as an electrifying performer across the world with a career spanning more than three-decades and amassing many awards including multiple gold albums, two Grammy nominations (with one win), a Juno Award, eight Cana-dian Country Music Awards and other accolades. (The Juno Award is Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy.)

Portland Ovations presents Natalie MacMaster’s “Christ-mas in Cape Breton” at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

The Bob BandThree years ago, four guys from southern Maine and

New Hampshire created a very unusual band that exclu-sively specializes in the music of the legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Formed and fronted by Dennis Bailey, The Bob Band plays gigs around New England, often tailoring concerts around specific themes.

Bailey, a passionate Dylan fan, believes in performing the singer’s entire opus, rather than simply concentrating on a concert’s worth of favorite hits. An example hap-pens this Saturday in Portland, when The Bob Band will perform a tribute to the 45th anniversary of the release of Dylan’s seminal album, “John Wesley Harding,” a col-lection of original songs that marked a return to acoustic roots.

The first half of The Bob Band’s concert will be the complete album. Its best-known song is “All Along the Watchtower.” The second half of the concert will include a sampling of Dylan’s work, which spans more than 50 years and multiple genres.

Catch The Bob Band at 8 p.m. Dec. 1 at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland. Call 761-1757.

Cadillac Moon EnsembleAnother musical event that’s utterly unrelated to Christ-

mas and totally avant-garde is this Sunday’s concert by Cadillac Moon Ensemble, four exciting young New York artists who are playing on the Portland String Quartet’s subscription series.

Two salient aspects of the Cadillac Moon Ensemble stand out in my mind. First is the very unconventional lineup: a violin, cello, flute and percussion. Because there is very little traditional music written for such a grouping of instruments, CME’s second claim to singularity is that virtually everything they play is written on commission.

Formed in 2007, CME has commissioned more than 50 pieces. CME focuses on retaining the intimacy of chamber music while exploring a very different palette of sonic possibilities.

The ensemble’s connection to the Portland String Quartet? Flutist Roberta Michel grew up in Maine and won the PSQ’s annual high school competition about a decade ago. Her prize for winning was performing on the subscription series. PSQ violist Julia Adams admires the way Michel has seamlessly transitioned from traditional classical repertoire to avant-garde. The pieces that will be played on this Sunday’s concert all revolve around the theme of movement: what things move, how things move and how they affect other things by their movement.

Catch the Cadillac Moon Ensemble at 2 p.m. Dec. 2 at Woodford’s Congregational Church, 202 Woodford St. in Portland. Call the LARK Society at 761-1522.

tenant spaces, like the former Shaw’s supermarket building in the Falmouth Shopping Center.

The 60,000-square-foot limit on non-conforming spaces allows existing spaces to “square off” to make reconfiguring that space easier.

Rodden said that although she would have preferred a smaller limit, the 50,000-square-foot limit will make a difference.

“The towns that will be successful in the future are the ones that distinguish themselves from other municipalities in the state, and we are taking that step tonight,” she said.

Council Chairwoman Faith Varney, who favored larger footprint limits, ultimately voted in support of the new ordinance.

“We’ve come a long way,” Varney said. “I’m not sure I agree, but the way this council is going, I think that is the way we are going.”

After the vote, Councilor Sean Ma-

honey said he hopes Town Manager Na-than Poore moves forward with a plan to work with business proponents and other interested residents on further changes to the Route 1 business district.

“Addressing some of those issues is going to go a long way in moving toward walking the walk as far as what we mean for business,” he said.

Winning over business owners could still be an uphill climb.

Elizabeth Moss, owner of Elizabeth Moss Gallery, said she is disappointed in the council’s decision to approve any footprint limit.

“I think the 50,000 has not killed, but has been a contributing factor to limiting potential new tenants,” Moss said Tues-day. “I don’t understand how it equates to being pro-business, when the entire business community tells you the zon-ing ordinance is going to have negative impact on the entire tenancy.”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

happened before with fields on school campuses.

Earlier this year the council had the choice to either pay for the permitting or divest their interest in the land and give it to Regional School Unit 5. In July, councilors voted 6-1 against transferring the land to RSU 5, saving the property for the town, but also obligating it to pay for the environmental permit.

The town-owned land, adjacent to the Hedgehog Mountain recreation area and the town transfer station, is made up of two sections developed for athletic and recreational use, with an undeveloped center section.

The portion of the property the town

voted to keep is a seven-acre section of a 60-acre parcel. The fields are already in use as athletic fields.

The permitting process was triggered after town officials and Topsham-based soccer club Seacoast United signed an agreement to develop about 12 acres and lease three more acres of the center sec-tion for an indoor and outdoor athletic complex.

The complex would have required state environmental review for a site permit. However, in late February, the council rejected a zoning change needed for the project to move forward.

The council sought an extension at its July meeting and had hoped to become a state-sanctioned environmental protection delegate, giving the town permit-granting authority and the ability to conduct envi-

ronmental reviews at much lower costs. But the deadline to become a delegate for the project had already passed.

Council Chairman Jim Hendricks Tuesday said he didn’t understand why a permit would not be needed if the town transferred ownership to RSU 5.

“In my mind it’s a bad law, if that’s how it works,” he said. “It shouldn’t matter if you’re giving it to your brother, sister or your RSU. If there’s no change, it shouldn’t matter.”

Other councilors echoed his concerns.Councilor Kate Arno said she did not

want to move forward with the permit because of the cost.

“I don’t believe we should pay $270,000 if we don’t have an environ-mental problem,” Arno said. “It would be different if we did, we want to do the right thing.”

Although he said he is not promoting

the transfer, Councilor Rich DeGrandpre said it’s important that the town doesn’t remove the option of transferring or sell-ing the land to avoid paying the permit fee, noting that large projects, like school renovations, are on the horizon.

Palmer eventually said the town should set up a meeting with DEP to discuss the cost of the permit. In the likely event the town does have to move forward with the permitting, it should outline half a dozen development projects it wants to complete in the next 10 years, he said.

In the end, the council instructed town staff to talk with DEP about getting some relief on the permit and agreed to put the item on an upcoming council agenda for action.

The deadline for the decision on the permit is Jan. 15.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

for families in Freeport, N.Y.Smith and her peers are now asking

for donations of basic schools supplies – notebooks, pencils, binders, backpacks, markers and art supplies. Donation boxes will be available at schools in Regional School Unit 5 and at the Freeport Com-munity Center, which is partnering with the students.

The Interact Club hopes to be able to get enough supplies to fill a van that will be driven to New York to deliver the do-nations, Smith said. The club is the youth arm of the Rotary Club International, which focuses on community service projects.

Bennell, the service learning and as-pirations coordinator at Freeport High School, said they plan to have the drive completed by Dec. 20, before winter break. The supplies will be delivered soon after the new year.

“I think from the Freeport (N.Y.) com-munity, the public schools and the board of education, we are deeply, deeply moved by this wonderful, kind and gen-erous gesture from Freeport High School in Maine,” Kunchman said. “On behalf of all children and families we really thank Freeport High students and faculty and everyone who is involved.”

month.“I would like to hook-up remotely and

exchange and take this opportunity to have something beyond this elementary school,” he said. “We want to continue our friendship and do something in the long-term from academic point of view.”Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

The club not only wants to help the schools, but also the families, said Bennell, who has been in contact with Kunchman to determine the most urgent needs.

“We’re shooting for both school and social needs,” she said. “We started out just thinking about school supply drive, but realized a lot of families had been displaced from their houses.”

The club is also looking to partner with other groups for supplies or in-kind donations, such as helping with delivery, Bennell said. On Friday, the club will meet to delegate duties to its members and coordinate how the items will be picked up and delivered.

“We want to get students engaged as much possible,” Bennell said, noting that some students could make cold calls to businesses for donations, while others might help coordinate logistics. “Our goal is to get really broad community support from the schools in the RSU to businesses and community organiza-tions.”

Smith, who is a ceramic sculptor and hopes to attend Unity College to study agriculture, said she hopes this effort will make life easier for families affected by the hurricane.

“I hope a lot of these students will be able to go back to their school soon and return some normalcy to their lives,” she said. “This will be one less thing the

students and their parents will have to worry about.”

Kunchman, who said their community has also received support from another Freeport in Illinois, hopes to continue the connection beyond this effort with the schools in Maine, suggesting that they could communicate via Skype when the students return to their school next

expansion, Maine Beer will add four new fermenting tanks, which will boost production to 5,000 barrels per year, Kleban said.

The brewery will join two other like-minded businesses on Route 1: Gritty McDuff’s brew pub, and Maine Distill-eries, maker of Cold River vodka and gin.

Known for its hoppy, American-style ales and off-size bottles, Maine Beer now sells beer in nine East Coast states, from New England to Washington, D.C.

Kleban said their approach to making beer is driven by personal taste, rather than any particular style.

“We brew beers we like to drink,” he said, noting that they don’t plan to make any significant changes with their expansion. “It’s just worked out that it’s been primarily hoppy, American-style ales. That’s the way it has played out for three years, and it’s worked, so why rock the boat?”

With the new location, Kleban said they want to get involved with Freeport’s community culture and help sponsor walks and road races when they can.

“We hope to be at the starting line, or more likely, at the finish line,” he said.

Kleban, his wife and brother moved to Maine from Michigan without jobs, because the wanted to live in the state, he said. About 10 years later, they opened the brewery.

“We’ve lived in Maine for a decade now, so I guess we’re Mainers,” he said. “I think that’s the unwritten rule.”

Although they enjoy the small brew-ers’ community they have in Portland, the brothers hope the move to a smaller town will allow them to connect more in-timately with the community, something that’s difficult in their existing location, Kleban said.

“Portland is great fun, but it’s easier to get lost,” he said, noting that their brewery is in an industrial park and about a 20-minute drive from downtown. “(In Portland) it’s kind of overwhelming for people and it’s hard to stand out. I hope in Freeport people get to know us as good guys making good beer.”

soup kitchens and community centers. She also had the opportunity to explore the impact of public policy on people’s lives through meetings with U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe and other policy makers.

The momentum continued this past summer when Blake was a recipient of a Bowdoin’s Community Matters in Maine fellowship. She spent the summer work-ing with Community Financial Literacy,

a nonprofit organization that offers per-sonal finance courses to immigrants and refugees in the Portland area.

Blake’s varied service experiences have changed her own views of herself and the world.

“Having grown up in a small town in Maine, I wasn’t fully aware of the spec-trum of other people’s experiences, such as the challenges of refugees to learn English,” she said recently. “I also didn’t understand how the actions of govern-ment affect people.”

Blake has appreciated the diversity of Bowdoin’s student body (“Here, di-versity is perceived as normal”) and the opportunity to have her political views challenged and sharpened.

“Before I came to Bowdoin, I thought people were either Republicans or Demo-crats,” she said, “and voted accordingly.” Now she said she believes that govern-ment leaders and voters should address each issue thoughtfully, without regard to a given party affiliation.

Blake is considering several possible

options after graduating from Bowdoin. She might, for example, work in the of-fice of a senator or representative before going on to pursue a degree in law or public policy.

While Blake maintains high ideals, this clear-eyed citizen of the world harbors no illusions that the complex challenges facing the nation today permit easy fixes. Whatever life path she pursues, she said she hopes that she can look back later and be able to say, “I helped contribute to solutions.”

times.”In an effort to maintain a familiar

routine, Carol MacNaught, who was Grover’s educational technician and formerly taught second grade, has taken over his class.

In addition to maintaining student routine, the school brought in a councilor from the Center for Grieving Children to speak with students who wanted some-one to talk with about Grover’s death.

Grover, who was the 2010 Maine Teacher of the Year, was a leader in

service-learning at Falmouth Elementary, said Gloria Noyes, president of Maine’s Teacher of Year Association.

“Kevin is going to be greatly missed,” Noyes said. “He was someone that was highly regarded in the world of educa-tion and left an impact on all of us. It’s a great loss for education and educators in Maine.”

Noyes said Grover was a key ele-ment in building and inspiring teachers through the Teacher of the Year Asso-ciation. He started a Speaker’s Bureau within the association, which brought together past recipients of the award to speak at businesses or schools about their

expertise, she said.In school, Grover was a leader in tech-

nology and always willing to help inspire other teachers to use it, Noyes said.

“He was a brilliant guy and very creative; he was excellent with technol-ogy,” she said. “Staff would always go to Kevin for instruction and enhancement of their skills.”

Grover grew up in Greene and gradu-ated from St. Dominic Regional High School in Auburn. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine at

Farmington and a master’s degree from the University of Southern Maine.

From 1996 through 2001, Grover taught first and second grades at Lake Street School in Auburn before moving to the Falmouth schools.

Grover is survived by his wife Rebec-ca; daughter, Lillian; son, Elias; parents Michael and Lianne Grover; brothers Jeffrey Grover and his wife, Julia, Chris-topher and his wife, Mindy, and a sister, Laura Grover.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.
