By Emily ParkhurstCHEBEAGUE ISLAND A Portland

companys proposal for kelp farms near Che-beague and Jewel islands is being opposed by lobstermen, who say the farms will interfere with their businesses.

Paul Dobbins and Tollef Olson, of Ocean Approved LLC, have applied for three-year experimental leases for two three-acre areas in Casco Bay to grow kelp. Ocean Approved

already has an experimental lease for an area near Little Chebeague Island.

The company won a $300,000 grant last month from the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administrations Small Business Innovative Research program to continue their research to develop, seed and cultivate kelp. Theirs was the first kelp farm to open in the United States.

Gun club reopens 1 shooting range, 3 remain closedBy Emily Parkhurst

FALMOUTH After being closed for almost a year because of safety issues, the Falmouth Rod & Gun Club has reopened one of its shooting ranges.

Three other ranges will re-main closed indefinitely until the club makes significant safety and environmental improve-ments.

Police Sgt. Frank Soule said Friday that the range received a one-year permit on Oct. 12 to use a trap range after some changes were made to increase safety.

All four of the clubs ranges were closed after police and code enforcement inspectors in November 2010 found serious issues, including stray bullets on neighboring property.

Soule said those who use the range now can only shoot from platforms and that they must use an automated throwing arm, rather than throwing the clay pigeons themselves, to keep the shooting location consistent.

That way its all falling on the range property, Soule said.

will have to wait until Novem-ber for a final vote.

At an Operations Committee meeting a committee of the whole council on Monday, most councilors said they prefer to hold two public votes on the matter, one on Thursday and one

in November.According to Town Manager

Nat Tupper, the proposal has been in the works since March, but it will be detailed on Oct. 20 to allow public comment. The

School Board enacts new rules on public comment, computersBy Emily Parkhurst

FALMOUTH Speakers at School Board meetings are now prohibited from discussing school employees and must limit their comments to three minutes.

The School Board unani-mously approved a new public comment policy Tuesday night, and amended a policy governing use of employee computers.

Besides the ban on comments about School Department em-ployees, the revised public com-ment policy prohibits vulgar, profane, obscene, threatening, or disruptive statements; provides speakers no more than three

minutes to speak unless an ex-tension is granted, and prohibits spontaneous comments from the audience.

The change is an attempt to corral speakers who engage in what board members believe is disruptive and abusive speech. The new policy requires speak-ers to comply or risk being told to leave the meeting.

It also prohibits employees from discussing matters for which other, more appropriate forums are provided, such as the grievance procedures in the teachers union contract.

Mackworth Island causeway closed to pedestriansReconstruction to slow vehicle trafficBy Emily Parkhurst

Andrews Avenue, the only road to the island, the Baxter School for the Deaf and the Real School, will be under con-struction beginning Monday, Oct. 17, to repair damage from several storms.

island.A popular walking trail around the

island, run by the state Department of Conservation, may also be closed, Wood-cock said.

Andrews Road will be reduced to one lane across the causeway and temporary signal lights will be set up to regulate traffic. Vehicles traveling to and from the schools will have priority, Woodcock said, but drivers can expect delays of up to 20 minutes.

He estimated the construction would be completed in mid-December.

The causeway damage dates to April 16, 2007, when a Patriots Day storm pulled rocks encased in chain-link fence away from the road on the north side.

Every time you get high wave action,

it gets worse, Woodcock said. Another big storm and the whole roadway could wash away.

Freeport Planning Board considers zoning amendments for soccer fieldsBy Amy Anderson

FREEPORT The Planning Board will consider amending the zoning or-dinance or using site- or project-specific alternatives, like contract zoning or an overlay district, for a proposed indoor soccer arena.

The Town Council approved a deal last December with Seacoast United Maine, a nonprofit soccer club based in Topsham, but indoor recreational facilities are not an approved use according to the towns zoning ordinance.

At a Planning Board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 5, Michael Healy, past president of the soccer club, said the proposed plan is to build two outdoor turf fields and an indoor arena near the recycling center on Hedgehog Mountain Road. Healy said the indoor arena would house three turf fields, concessions, bath-rooms, offices and a mezzanine floor for additional recreational uses.

According to Town Planner Donna Larson, the indoor arena is proposed in the Rural Residential 1 zone, an area that includes nearly 70 percent of the land in Freeport.

The Planning Board wanted to address the situation by applying a contract zone, but after town councilors, residents and neighbors spoke against the suggestion, they are less likely to pursue that path, Larson said.

The board must decide if the project warrants a change, she said, and if so, what type.

It can recommend an amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow indoor recreation facilities in the district; it

can allow contract zoning in the rural residential district, or develop a contract that is tailored to the land and the needs of abutting properties, or develop a new use for the district.

Or the board can decide the use is not acceptable for the area and leave the or-dinance unchanged.

The concept of the outdoor turf fields are fine, but the indoor arena needs to be reviewed, Larson said. The Planning Board is only advisory here, and the final decision will be made by the (Town Council).

Contract zoning is project- and land-specific, Lawson said, and focuses narrowly on the specific site and the neighbors. If the board recommends mak-ing changes to the ordinance, the entire RR-1 zone would be altered. An overlay district, as proposed by Councilor Eric Pandora, would limit the geographic area of a project, allowing a use that wouldnt otherwise be permitted on a specific parcel.

If the project were a municipal facility, had an outdoor commercial recreation use, was a public or private school, or a campground, it would be subject to a site review, but permissible. Other site review projects include cemeteries, bed and breakfast inns, day care facilities or

nursing homes.Healy said he drafted language to

ensure the changes would be restricted to the indoor arena. But Wendy Caisse, the Planning Board chairwoman, said the board needs to look at this zone as a whole, and that a decision to change the ordinance would affect more than just the Seacoast proposal.

Board member Greg Savona said he is wary of creating blanket language in the zoning ordinance that would allow for many uses in the residential area. Mem-ber Theresa Olkewsiw said her biggest concern if the ordinance is changed is the potential impact on the quality of life in the rural zone.

Pat Palmer, a resident of the RR-1 district, said she is not in favor of the

Cumberland bulky waste week: So far, so goodBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND One day into its bulky item pickup week, it looked as though the towns attempt to educate resi-dents about which items are appropriate to leave by the curb may have paid off.

Chris Bolduc, director of operations and public services, said Tuesday morning that Pine Tree Waste which is picking up the bulky waste along with the usual trash and recyclables reported only two issues during its run through part of west-ern Cumberland on Monday: construction debris and a pile of clothes, two items not accepted at the curb, were left on the street by pickup crews.

Bolduc said he saw TVs and computers, other items not accepted, on other streets. Those items will be tagged with informa-tion for residents about how to dispose of

them, he said.But overall, things have been so far, so

good, Bolduc said. Of course, it was only the first day.

In the past, we would get a huge list (of items not picked up), he said. To have the first day go by and only have two things is pretty good.

However, he said the town did receive a few phone calls from residents complain-ing that during the night, someone had dropped construction debris at the ends of their driveways.

Asked whether he thought the educa-tional program had worked, Bolduc noted that although it was hard to tell early on, if I was going to take a guess, just from what Ive seen, compared to what Ive seen in the past, I would say yes. Were not really see-ing the huge piles of debris. ... Well know

better when the weeks over, when we can get a report on the tonnage and compare it to the past couple years.

Bolduc said that in many cases, people will forage through items left at the end of residents driveways, obtaining items like metal before Pine Tree Waste comes along.

Bulky waste pickup week continues through Friday, Oct. 21.

In May, after the spring pickup, the Town Council discussed improving its educational campaign in time for this falls collection. Mill Road resident Dudley Greeley guided councilors through a presentation that included a photo of a 5-foot-tall mass of boxes and trash bags covered by a blue tarp, an example of how the collection program

was being misused.Although garbage is meant to be placed

in prepaid town bags for weekly pickup, Town Manager Bill Shane noted in May that about 12 percent of the towns annual trash was being picked up in the two bulky waste collection weeks.

Items accepted at the curb are bathroom fixtures, mattresses and box springs, couch-es, carpets and chairs, stoves, washers and dryers, hot-water tanks, oversized toys, tires with no rims, and large metal items.

Items not accepted are wood products, appliances containing freon, propane tanks, yard or tree waste, liquid waste, clothing or textiles, computers or monitors, TVs, plastic bags of assorted trash, tires still on rims, demolition and building debris, and florescent light bulbs.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Broken sprinkler closes libraryBy Emily Parkhurst

FALMOUTH Falmouth Memorial Library will be closed at least until Satur-day, Oct. 22, to repair water damage from a broken sprinkler system.

The Fire Department confirmed there was damage Tuesday to books and other materials at the Lunt Road building, and that the library was closed.

Library Director Lyn Sudlow said Tues-day night that the library had hired High Tech Fire to flush out some build-up in the pipes of the dry sprinkler system as part of the buildings routine maintenance schedule.

One of the cast iron pipes in the attic gave way under the additional pressure of the water that was part of the process of flushing out the pipes, she said. The flooding in the attic cascaded down into the circulation desk area and childrens picture book area for the most part.

Sudlow said a group had been meet-ing in the nearby meeting space, and had quickly helped the library staff move books and equipment away from the leak. The water was shut off and the library called a company to come dry out the wet carpet, sheetrock and furniture.

High Tech Fire techs came back to de-termine the cause and replaced three pipes that were rusted enough to develop pinholes under the additional water pressure, Sud-low said.

She added that it would likely take until Saturday to dry everything out, move fur-niture back and reshelve books. She hoped the library would reopen after that.

It is still a little early to assess what the permanent damage might be, Sudlow said.

Cumberland Planning Board OKs senior housing projectBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND The Planning Board unanimously granted major sub-division and site plan approvals Tuesday for the renovation of a school as a senior housing center.

The now-closed Drowne Road School a 17,600-square-foot building that School Administrative District 75 turned over to the town this year will be con-verted by Bateman Partners of Portland into a 38-unit apartment complex.

The project is the third phase of the Village Green Revitalization Master Plan. Nathan Bateman said Tuesday that Bate-man Parters will apply for funding from the Maine State Housing Authority next month. If successful, construction could begin next June and finish 10 months later.

Last month the Planning Board con-ducted a sketch plan review of the proj-ect. Earlier this month the Town Council approved a change in zoning for the property from Rural Residential 1 to the adjacent Village Mixed Use Zone, which allows work on the building to proceed without a contract zone.

The Planning Board also granted major subdivision approval to the first phase, a 58-lot housing project on the Doane property in the center of town. Bateman will develop the nearly 41-acre property into a mix of single-family and duplex homes.

Bateman anticipates a mid-November construction start for that phase.

Between May and June (2012) well actually have brand new homeowners living at the property, he said.

Cumberland County candidates oppose Civic Center bondBy Alex Lear

BRUNSWICK Two candidates are competing to be the county commissioner in Cumberland Countys new District 3, a seat created when the County Charter was approved last year and expanded the districts from three to five.

Mark Grover of Gray and Stephen Gorden of North Yarmouth discussed is-sues facing the county during an Oct. 13 candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Maine.

One key issue, going to referendum Tuesday, Nov. 8, is whether the county should borrow up to $33 million to renovate the Cumberland County Civic

Gorden

Grover

Center in Portland. Both candidates op-pose the bond.

District 3 includes Brunswick, Freeport, Harpswell, North Yarmouth, Gray, New Gloucester and Pownal.

Stephen GordenGorden, 69, is married and has five

sons and two grandchildren. He has served as national vice president of corporate development for the American Water Works Service Co. and president of American Water Resource, both in New Jersey; director and chief executive officer of the Detroit Water & Sewerage

Department in Michigan, director of op-erations for the Portland Water District. He was also chairman of the National Water Utility Association.

His volunteer experience includes being a trustee of the Yarmouth Water District and serving on the Cumberland County Charter Com-mission.

Gorden said he wants to prioritize county issues to serve citizens in a better way, as well as ex-pand multi-commu-nity links among public safety services. He also wants to boost coordination at quasi-municipal, state and community levels, and to encourage diminishing of what he called duplicate structural costs.

He said he envisions the county level of government as an entity upon which a community may call to accomplish what it considers the common, repetitive, heavy-lifting functions, freeing itself and you to maintain your distinct community culture and quality of life by perform-ing those tasks and services which are uniquely yours.

Gorden said the Cumberland County Recreational Center District, which he described as a quasi-municipal govern-ment run by appointed trustees, owns and operates the Civic Center. He said the district has the authority to request bonding.

In recent years, he said, the Civic Center government and Cumberland County government have become too entangled in one anothers affairs, and it needs to cease. They are not dealing with one another at arms length, nor are they operating independently; thats just plain wrong. Its unfair to the citizens, as all transparency is lost.

Gorden said voters outside the imme-diate Portland area do not stand to gain from the renovation plan.

Mark GroverGrover, 56, is a software engineer

for the DeLorme mapping company in Yarmouth.

He served on the Gray Town Council from 2008-2011 and was a representative from Gray to both the Greater Portland Council of Govern-ments and the Central Corridors Coalition of area municipali-ties. He also served on the Cumberland County Budget Advi-sory Committee, the Gray Public Library Board of Trustees and the Gray Comprehensive Plan Com-mittee, and has volunteered with Gray Fire-Rescue.

Grover says this experience, plus his work as an engineer, gives me experi-ence as a member of teams that get things done.

He said he believes in thoughtful and moderate governance.

Regarding the Civic Center bond, Gro-ver said the plan is responsibly written, but he does not think now is the time for the project. He noted that there would be up to $22 million in interest on top of the bond amount.

I dont think most people in District 3 are prepared for the burden (of the proj-ect) for something thats non-essential, he said.

Grover said the economy could im-prove to the point where such a project were more viable, that there could be a more modest proposal, or that Portland could contribute a larger share of the cost.

He also noted that the fiscal 2012 county budget includes $300,000 to fund the red ink of the Civic Centers oper-ating budget. Grover pointed out that the centers trustees should plan to balance their budget this year, no matter how the bond vote goes, and that subsidies each year should be phased out.

Even the proposed plan says that they dont expect big profits until 2016, even with the improvements, Grover said.

Risky bet?Question 2 would add 2 racinos in Maine, create opportunity in Scarborough

A preliminary sketch design of the proposed

Biddeford Downs harness racing and slot-machine resort,

or racino. Question 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot

will ask Mainers whether they approve the construction of the racino in Biddeford,

and another in Washington County.

Contributed

By Mario Moretto SCARBOROUGH Supporters say

it would be a boon to the economy and the tradition of harness racing in Maine. Opponents say it would make its owners a fortune, but have a negative effect on local economies.

Either way, officials in Scarborough say Question 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot could create a great opportunity to redevelop prime property along Interstate 95 and Route 1.

The referendum will ask voters throughout the state to allow two pro-posed harness racing tracks one in Biddeford and one in Washington County to also offer slot-machine gambling. If the referendum is approved, Scarborough Downs, a 60-year-old harness racing track off Route 1, will close and move to Biddeford.

In Scarborough, that could mean the redevelopment of the 485 acres now owned by Scarborough Downs.

The Downs is part of Scarboroughs heritage, said Harvey Rosenfeld, presi-dent of the Scarborough Economic De-velopment Corp. As you lose something like that, you take something away from

restaurants, hotels and shops.Proponents also argue that their racino

the community historically, which I hate to see. But as Scarborough continues to attract residential growth, we have to find a way to pay for the services people want. The development possibilities there are beneficial to that end.

An investment in MaineLast November, Biddeford residents

approved the construction of a racino in their city.

If voters statewide approve the racino question this year, proponents promise 800 temporary construction jobs to build the facility and another 500 full-time po-sitions to staff the Biddeford racino and accompanying resort hotel and entertain-ment facility.

Crystal Canney, a spokeswoman for the Yes on 2 campaign, said the full-time jobs will offer an average salary of about $35,000 per year and health benefits.

Scarborough Downs and its racino partner, Ocean Properties LLC, say their racino will attract customers from throughout northern New England and Canada, and will boost business for local

6 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

Historical Society.Executive Director Christina White

said this will be the last haunted tour of its type, but residents can expect a new tour next year.

This tour has everything, White said. Our resident specter, a psychic medium, a tour along the darkened streets of the village and stories about the unknown and unexplained.

The tour starts at Harrington House at 45 Main St. Psychic medium Eddita Felt will lead the tour and share the history of each location while trying to pick up spiritual activity, White said.

We will share stories based on events that took place decades ago, she said. The factual and historical tales, haunted and otherwise.

White encourages people to dress up and expect an easy walk through the village.

Tours are available on Friday, Oct. 21, Saturday, Oct. 22, and Thursday-Satur-day, Oct. 27-29, at 6 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person and reserva-tions are required. Call 865-3170 or visit freeporthistoricalsociety.org.

Cutting the mustard: Mothers Mountain celebrates 30 years in FalmouthBy Emily ParkhurstFALMOUTH Thirty years ago, Carol

Tanners father came to live with her and asked her to make a batch of her mothers mustard.She did, Tanner recalled this week, but it

wasnt very good.But she kept working at it, trying differ-

ent ingredients until she found the flavor she remembered: the special mustard her mother made, salt-free for her grandmother, and sweetened with local honey.Then she bottled it and took a case to the

local Shaws supermarket. Almost immedi-ately, the store manager called her up and asked for two more cases. Then Hannaford Bros. called. They wanted some, too.That was in 1982. Since then, Mothers

Mountain Mustard has become a fixture in area supermarkets and specialty food stores, and the company has expanded its line to include jams, ketchup, hot sauces and barbecue sauces.All 32 different items are made in a small

garage in Falmouth that smells sharply of mustard and vinegar. Metal shelves holds boxes of jams and mustards ready to ship out, some with labels for Renys, some heading to Whole Foods, others to specialty food purveyors throughout the area.Tanner, 80, still creates all the recipes

with her husband, Dennis Proctor. The

Falmouth resident Carol Tanner, who created Mothers Mountain Mustard

30 years ago, stocks a pot of red pepper jam in the companys

kitchen on Tuesday. Mothers Mountain will

have a celebratory party Saturday, Oct. 22, from 1-6 p.m. at 2

Mustard Hollow in Falmouth.

EMILY PARKHURST / THE FORECASTER

Mothers Mountain creators Carol Tanner, right, and her husband, Dennis Proctor, in the companys small kitchen in Falmouth. The company will celebrate 30 years of

making mustard and other specialty foods on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 1-6 p.m. at the company homestead, 2 Mustard Hollow (off Woodville

Road) in Falmouth.

couple has been together for 30 years, a little bit longer than theyve been mak-ing mustard. Tanners four sons and their families occasionally help out in the family business, but for the most part, the couple makes the products themselves.Weve grown by listening to people,

Tanner said.Every year she takes the mustard to the

Common Ground Fair in Unity, where people will tell her they want a spicier ver-sion, or ask if she can make a particular kind of jam.People said make it hotter, so we did a

hot mustard, Tanner said.Proctor said the company has considered

going organic, but that the paperwork and requirements for a certified organic product is more work that its worth.As long as we bring on a clean product,

people are happy, he said.Mothers Mountain does not use any

preservatives and the products are free of gluten. Many of the ingredients, like honey, are purchased from local farmers.Everything on our labels is what people

would find in their pantries at home, Proc-tor said.Tanner said things have changed a lot in

30 years.

She recalled the president of Hannaford Bros. calling her up personally to ask to distribute her mustard in his stores, and remembers asking the bank for a $1,000 loan to buy some extra glass bottles to do a larger shipment, and getting a check the same day.Now, the company goes through a dis-

tributor and same-day micro-loans are unheard of.I think its become hard for a little per-

son to start in on a new business, she said.Tanner said shed like to retire soon and

dedicate herself full-time to painting, some-

thing shes always loved to do. Her husband would likely continue running the business, and theyve considered bringing someone on to help him out.In the meantime, theyre throwing the

company a birthday party on Oct. 22 from 1-6 p.m. The public is welcome at Tanner and Proctors home, 2 Mustard Hollow, off Woodville Road. The Rangers and the Pete Kilpatrick Band will be performing, there will be free t-shirts and, of course, lots of mustard.Emily Parkhurst can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or

Yarmouth advisory group to tackle turf field replacementBy Amy AndersonYARMOUTH With the turf field at

Yarmouth High School reaching the end of its lifespan, an advisory task force has been established to review cost estimates and project recommendations for a replacement.The committee was established by the

Town Council and School Committee and includes Marcia Noyse, director of

Community Services; Athletic Director Susan Robbins; Town Councilors Randall Bates and Tim Sanders; School Commit-tee Chairman David Ray and member Art Bell; school Business Manager Herb Hopkins; Town Manager Nat Tupper, and parent and sports booster member David Neujahr.Superintendent of Schools Judy

Paolucci said the group was formed to review information provided by Stantec Consulting. She said the group will have their first meeting on Monday, Oct. 24, and is expected to report back to the Town Council and Yarmouth School Committee on or before Jan. 9, 2012.

According to Tupper, a $1.3 million bond was approved in 2000 for the turf field at the high school. Drainage and ir-rigation issues ended up raising the cost of the project, and the town never put any money aside for a replacement.The outstanding principal as of Oct. 18

is $425,000, he said, and the last payment of $85,000 is due in November 2015. The town expected the field to last about 15 years, but the final two years will be a stretch, Tupper said.If another bond is approved, Tupper

said the project would be done in fiscal year 2015 and would be expected to last only 10 years.The smart thing to do would be to set

aside some money to replace it, he said.Part of the mission of the advisory

group is to recommend future mainte-

nance and capital reinvestment practices to be adopted by the Town Council and/or School Committee.The panel is also expected to prioritize

and identify costs of the project and any elements that can be excluded from the proposal. It will also create use and man-agement policies of the facility.A bond referendum for the project

could be scheduled in November 2012.The turf field is a community re-

source, not just a school resource, Paolucci said. It will take a lot of discus-sion to decide what we need and what we can do without. It would be great to start paying back on a new bond while estab-lishing a fund to pay for the next one.The public meeting will be held Mon-

day, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall Community Room.Amy Anderson can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or

The Forecaster wins regional award for restraint seriesNATICK, Mass. The Forecaster and

staff writer Emily Parkhurst have received a prestigious Publick Occurrences Award from the New England Newspaper and Press Association.The award was presented for a series of

stories that illuminated the use of therapeu-tic physical restraints on students in Maine public schools.The stories, published over several

months last year, revealed questionable practices by school officials, the schools failure to report instances where students had been physically restrained, and the impact on students and parents.The stories also led to a review of the

practices by the state Department of Educa-tion, which resulted in proposed new regu-lations now being prepared for presentation to the Legislature.Parkhursts series also won NENPAs

annual awards last February for education reporting and social interest feature writing, and her work received a Sigma Delta Chi award for investigative reporting last month from the national Society of Professional Journalists the only such award presented to a weekly publication in the U.S. The Publick Occurrences Award annu-

ally recognizes the best work that New England newspapers produce individual or team stories, series, spot news coverage, columns or photojournalism that ran in print and/or online. NENPA presents up to 16 Publick Occurrences awards to member newspapers.The award was established in 1990 to

recognize individual and team merit at New England newspapers to mark the 300th anniversary of the founding of Publick Occurrences, the first newspaper published in America. Four days after it appeared in Boston in 1690, Publick Occurrences was suppressed by the royal governor.

This is the second consecutive year The Forecaster has won a Publick Occurrences Award, and the newspapers third in the last four years.Last year, the award was presented for

former staff writer Steve Mistlers cover-age of Oxford Aviations ultimately failed attempt to establish a base of operations at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. Staff writer Randy Billings coverage of South Portland city government won the 2008 award. Besides The Forecaster, the 2011 Pub-

lick Occurrences awards were presented at NENPAs annual fall conference on Oct. 6 to The Patriot Ledger, Quincy, Mass.; The Eagle-Tribune, North Andover, Mass.; Republican-American, Waterbury, Conn.; The Standard-Times, New Bedford, Mass.; Cape Cod Times, Hyannis, Mass.; The Sun, Lowell, Mass.; The Herald News, Fall River, Mass.; Concord Monitor, Con-cord, N.H.; Valley News, Bristol, Conn.; Townsend Times, Townsend, Mass.; Groton Landmark, Groton, Conn.; South County Independent, Wakefield, R.I.; Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, Peterborough, N.H., and Vineyard Gazette, Marthas Vineyard, Mass.

Experts disagree with smart-meter proponent

The letter from a Scarborough citizen deeming Edgar Allen Beems column about the effects of smart meters as wrong is just plain misinformed. His example of putting a person in a room, while in another room transmitting at random times and challenging that sensitive person to feel the transmission, is ludicrous. Thats like smoking one cigarette and dying on the spot from lung cancer. RF exposure does not work that way.

Vote yes on Question 2 for Maines horsemen

Ive been training and driving standardbred horses on racetracks for 25 years. Its what I love best, and its pretty much all I know. If I have a choice, Ill continue working with horses for as long as I can. There are plenty of others within the harness racing industry who feel the same way.

Thats why Im asking you to vote yes on Question 2 on Nov. 8. If we approve this ref-erendum, it will allow a brand new racino, with an all-weather racetrack, in Biddeford.

We need a racino in southern Maine to compete with other states. We can do that with the Biddeford Downs project. Besides the racetrack, the project will have a resort hotel, restaurants and other entertainment. It will create jobs and will be a big draw in this region.

Please help Maines horsemen and women compete. Vote yes on 2.

Drew CampbellScarborough

Yes on 2 to protect jobs, heritage

I urge the citizens of Maine to vote yes on Question 2. This referendum question allows Mainers to support eco-nomic development without having to approve additional borrowing through the issuance of bonds.

Job opportunities will be created for the men and women in York and in Washington counties who are desperate for work. A yes vote will support a weakened construction industry during the building phases and then bolster the creation of new jobs.

A yes vote will support a segment of Maines agricul-tural community that has a strong heritage and will protect thousands of acres of open lands. As a professional farrier

electromagnetic fields, states that although there havent been studies of living with smart meters for long periods of time and what illnesses they may cause, there is a sub-stantial amount of evidence showing that radio frequency radiation causes many illnesses such as cancer, nervous system disorders, reproductive disorders, etc.

Another expert in the EMF department, Dr. Magda Ha-vas, claims the radiation from cordless phones causes heart arrhythmia and tachycardia and alters the sympathetic and

parasympathetic nervous systems. She is concerned with the biological effects of electromagnetic pollution including radio frequency, radiation, and EMFs.

I would like to see the letter writers information that proves his statement of once you understand that there is no

such thing as radio transmission sensitivity and that there are no valid health risks, all arguments against smart me-ters fade away. National and international experts would strongly disagree.

Julie PetersonFalmouth

Big on Joe Mig in South Freeport

It seems like a constant war in Freeport between those who always want more from local government and those who want to maintain a balance between services and property tax affordability.

Many residents of South Freeport appreciate Joe Mi-gliaccios ongoing effort to counter costly and indulgent Town Council spending initiatives with common sense. And unlike some, Joe Mig listens to his constituents. He knows we are over-taxed and actually feels our pain.

The last thing we need in Freeport is to replace him with a big spender. Do your own research and form your own judgment about what his opponent represents. If you think bigger is better, youll love his opponent.

Youve done a great job, Joe, against the forces of more. We need more like you on the council.

Dont take Maines beauty for granted

Theres an ocean in our back yard. At any time during the day, we can see boats sailing past our windows as nonchalantly as other people observe cars passing by on the street. Weve lived here three years now and were still enthralled by what we see every day. Large ships, small ships, kayaks, power boats regardless of the type of vessel, its floating out there in our backyard as mat-ter of fact as other people have lawn chairs and sports equipment scattered across their backyards. I still pinch myself every day to see if Im dreaming.

With the arrival of autumn, theres not as much boat traffic out there as in the dummer months.

Kristina understands the importance of carefully managing public dollars, pre-serving the character of Freeport and doing everything possible to improve our schools.

District 3 is ready for a change and Kristina is a ter-rific candidate who we believe will be an outstanding councilor. We are proud to support her and hope you will, too.

Question 2 is all about jobsWe have two companies in Ocean Properties and

Scarborough Downs that are ready to invest $120 million into a state-of-the-art entertainment complex in Biddeford. These companies already employ more than 1,000 Main-ers, and they would employ hundreds more if we approve the Biddeford Downs racino by voting yes on Question 2 on Nov. 8.

I understand that some people are opposed to slot ma-chines. Let me ask you this: What is the difference between

spending a dollar on the lottery and spending a dollar on the slots, or placing a bet on a horse? There is no difference.

Others say a racino will lead to more crime, drugs and vices of all kinds. Those are scare tactics. Biddeford Downs is a solid project backed by de-

pendable, family-owned companies.We should vote yes on 2 and let them get to work.

All good things must end.Were here through the end of the month.


Theres no place like a home next to Tony and BeckyWhen we decided to put our house on the market, we

thought the hard part would be figuring out what to do next. Its a great house at a great price, the market has more or less hit bottom, it shouldnt take long and then well figure out what were going to do.

Ha.The market had hit bot-

tom more or less. More for some houses, less for others, like houses at our price point, as our agent put it, I suspect in an at-tempt to depersonalize a deeply personal transac-tion. It becomes more personal as time goes by without much market activity, speaking of dep-ersonalizing.

You cant help but take it personally, though. No mat-ter how well your brain understands the vagaries of a difficult economy, your heart just cant understand why nobody seems to want something you liked so much you were willing to make it your biggest single purchase.

The longer the process goes on, the harder it is to take. And our process went on, and on. You know your house has been on the market a long time when the For Sale sign starts to tilt. Its not surprising. It wasnt meant to be a permanent fixture. Nevertheless, its depressing to see the smiling faces of your Realtors slowly start to lean until they resemble an election poster glued to the Tower of Pisa. By the way, if this ever happens to you, God forbid, dont try to fix it; youll just make it worse. Not that my wife warned me and turned out to be right.

What really gets to you when it takes a long time to sell is how much time you have to realize what youre giving up. We really do have a great house in a great neighborhood, and its going to be hard to leave. We moved to the East Coast to be near our son while he was in prep school, but we fell in love with Portland, and our street, and our neighbors. We live near the airport. In return for hearing maybe two planes a week, we have a two-minute drive whenever we have to fly, plus we get to be on the part of the power grid that gets restored first after an outage.

And its a cul de sac, so traffic is something that happens to other people. We have a block party ev-ery summer, where we get to experience how warm and funny our neighbors are. Maine has a reputation for a reserve that borders on standoffishness, but you couldnt prove it by the people on our block. Theyve been great. They all deserve special mention. I hope theyll understand that when I talk about our next-door neighbors, Im talking about them as well.

Tony and Becky are people who see what needs to be done and do it. They mow the grass and landscape the middle of the cul de sac. After the first big snow in our first winter, while I was laying in bed paralyzed by flashbacks of shoveling miles of driveway in Michigan, I heard a rumbling outside my window. Tony and his snow blower were digging us out. He seemed embar-rassed when I went out to thank him.

Well, I had to do my driveway anyway, so ... . Yeah, Tony. You had to get up, put on a ton of uncomfortable clothes, go out into the freezing cold to do a lot of work anyway, so why not do twice as much? He may believe I would do the same for him. Id like to think so, but I wouldnt want to test the hypothesis. Of course, this was not an isolated incident.

Even more heroically, they are unfailingly gracious

The ViewFrom Away

Mike Langworthy

about our two miniature dachshunds, Ruby and Blackie, 20 pounds (combined) of atavistic canine fury who seem to live for the sole purpose of terrorizing Tonys beauti-ful, friendly golden retriever. According to our dogs, Brady is not only not allowed in our yard, hes not al-lowed in his yard when Blackie or Ruby are in our yard. They are not above taking a nip to enforce their will.

Despite this shabby treatment, Becky and Tony have said things like, Brady knows hes not sup-posed to be over here, or Youd think he would have figured out by now that Blackie and Ruby dont want to play with him. Or that theyre borderline psychotics about their territory. OK, dogs probably dont psychoanalyze other dogs. My point is that Tony and Becky handle an awkward situation gracefully.

You dont want to give up being surrounded by people like that, and when the house doesnt sell, you kind of fool yourself into thinking maybe you wont have to. Then a few weeks ago the house went under contract. Moving became real again.

Last weekend a nonprofit that owns and oper-ates group homes for special needs adults, Port Resources, came to collect some furniture we were donating. Three of the movers: Tony and his sons. They happened to be home, they wanted to help out, and, oh yeah, Tony is on their board.

Were excited about our move, but were also sad. Well find other neighbors, just not better ones.

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

Back to the moviesLately, Carolyn and I have taken to going to the

movies at the Nickelodeon in Portland on Tuesday nights when admission is only $5. We go with our good friends and fellow empty-nesters Don and Colleen. Even watching the latest hit films, theres something very old-fashioned about actually going to the movies.

Going to the movies with friends is itself kind of an odd thing to do, since you cant really social-ize during a movie. You can go out for a drink afterward, but were old farts now and head home to bed at 9 or 10. We just sit there in the dark together, shar-ing a bag of popcorn and a vicarious screen experience.

Fifty years ago, I was watching movies in Portland alone.

Back in the late 1950s, my Nana Gib-son, who lived on High Street, would some-times give me a quarter and send me two blocks up to Congress Street, where I could take my pick of the State, the Strand, the Empire or the Civic. You just kind of wandered in to continuously playing double features, watched matinee show-ings of kiddie flix like Darby OGill and the Little People and The Shaggy Dog, and wandered out again when they got to where you came in. Cant imagine sending an 8-, 9-, 10-year-old kid to the movies alone today.

In the 1960s, going to the movies became a so-cial occasion. Every kid I knew in junior high went to the Star Theater in downtown Westbrook. It hardly mattered what the movie was. We were 12, 13, 14 and getting to sit in the dark next to a girl, strategically slip an arm around the back of her seat, and maybe even get to kiss her was the main attraction. Come Monday, who sat with whom, who made out and who broke up was big news.

The only time the wild boys of Westbrook stopped our cinematic seduction of the opposite

sex was when there was a movie in town that fu-eled our shared male fantasies. After seeing The Hustler, every kid in town fancied himself a pool shark and wanted a pool table for Christmas. When The Cincinnati Kid came to the Star, every kid in town became a poker player with an ace up his sleeve. (Why arent there any Steve McQueen movies on TV anymore?)

Movies mostly make sense for dating these days unless youre a film buff who cant wait for the DVD. Until our daughters grew up and fled the nest, I much preferred watching movies at home, where I could stop and start them at will. Funny now to think how VCR technology baffled me when I first experienced it in the early 1980s. How was it possible to watch a movie that wasnt in a theater, to watch it anytime you wanted, and on your own television set? Incredible!

In those early days, we actually rented the vid-eocassette recorder at the supermarket along with the videocassettes. I guess Im a late adopter, but the technology of film is constantly changing. VHS begat DVD, Netflix by mail turned into streaming Netflix and Hulu. Im sure Ive never even heard of whatever (or however) hip techies are watching these days. Thats another reason Ive gone back to the movies.

The Bowling Alone phenomenon was well documented a decade ago. We are losing real civic associations and social life to the anti-social virtual reality of email, text messaging, chat rooms and online communities of friends we dont know and never see.

So as I sit in the dark with my lovely wife, a couple of my best friends and a bunch of strangers, watching famous people on the big screen pretend-ing to be people they are not, I take some small satisfaction in thinking that I am doing my part to preserve a great American pastime, not to mention my own past time.

Migliaccio deserves re-election in Freeport

As a volunteer member of one of Freeports advisory boards, I have had many opportunities to work with Town Councilor Joe Migliaccio. Joe is a hard working family man and has Freeports best interest at heart. He puts in the time to research any matter that is presented to the council. He looks for the unintended conse-quences and is not afraid to ask the hard questions. Joe has served Freeports residents well and deserves to be re-elected as councilor in District 3.

Gary ProfennoFreeport

Egan is the candidate Freeport needs

We are writing to urge our friends and neighbors to vote for Kristina Egan to be our new town councilor representing Freeport District 3, which includes South Freeport.

We met Kristina for the first time at the post office. She impressed us as thoughtful, smart and perhaps, most importantly, a listener with a good heart. As weve gotten to know her better, Kristina has told us of listen-

ing to residents concerns that often include property taxes impacting the ability of se-niors to main-

tain their homes. We believe she will work hard to keep Freeport affordable. She understands the people are as much a part of Freeports character as the harbor, farms and villages.

Kristinas qualities, coupled with her previous budget management and consensus-building experience, make her the councilor we need to represent us and help Freeport.
