year-old River Louten likes red grapes, bananas on his Rice Krisp-ies, Thomas the Tank Engine and “The Cat in the Hat.”

Exuberant and engaging, River is also fighting aplastic anemia, a disease caused by a failure of bone marrow that results in a lack of

blood cells and platelets.For about two months, River has

had his blood screened once or twice a week and transfusions of platelets. This week, he underwent immunosuppression treatments, which shut down his immune system to try and restart marrow growth.

Through it all, his mother Ta-

To help cover the costs of a bone marrow transplant in Boston and associated expenses for a his mother to stay there while River is hospitalized, a fundraiser will be held from 7-11 p.m. Nov. 16 at the

Ballot boxes fill as early voting endsBy David Harry

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

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

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

In Falmouth, Town Clerk El-len Planer said 34 percent of the town’s registered voters asked for absentee ballots. The ballots can be filled out at an early poll-ing site or mailed in by Nov. 6. So far, 2,430 of more than 2,900 requested absentee ballots have been returned.

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

Jones said there were more than 9,200 requests processed

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

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

By Monday morning, Justice said, almost 4,100 absentee bal-

Talks continue between Cape gun club, neighborsBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — Me-diation between the Spurwink Rod & Gun Club and its neigh-bors is continuing after the Town Council recommended hiring a consultant to review safety at the shooting range.

Residents in the Cross Hill Neighborhood have raised con-cerns about noise, stray bullets

and environmental impacts from the club’s 56-year-old shooting range on Sawyer Road, built decades before the neighbor-hood existed.

Club members say they oper-ate a safe range and deny any claims of errant rounds.

Mill Creek Park to be rededicated as Knightville work nears completionBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — A summer’s worth of projects in the center of the city are wrap-ping up in the next couple of weeks.

At 10 a.m. Saturday, ceremo-nies to rededicate Mill Creek Park will be held at the park gazebo, capping the first phase of park improvements. The new shelter for ice skaters at the park pond, donated by the Rotary Club of South Portland-Cape Elizabeth, will also be dedicated.

Nearby – and by Monday at the latest, according to city of-ficials – a one-block stretch of Ocean Street between E and

D streets will become one-way northbound. The change comes as a result of the project to install storm water mains throughout the park area and Knightville.

City Manager James Gai-ley said he expects the entire Knightville project to be com-pleted by Nov. 15. Brad Weeks, senior engineer with the city Water Resource Protection De-partment, set a more optimistic goal, weather permitting.

“By the end of next week, we should be pretty much done,” Weeks said.

Katie Elliott: a ‘driving force’ for goodUnsung Heroes

One in a series of profiles by Brunswick writer David Treadwell about people who quietly contrib-

ute to the quality of life in greater Portland. Do you know an Unsung Hero? Tell us:

[email protected]

By David TreadwellSCARBOROUGH — Some people

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

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

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

She has continued to make an impact, assisting in activities at her church, for example, and working in a soup kitchen. “I was inspired to challenge myself, and

called them first,” she recalled. “That was a learning experience, so now I always contact the organization first.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diane HuDson / For THe ForecasTerScarborough High School senior Katie Elliott

is the founder of Driving Force, a student organization that collects wish-list goods for

nonprofits in greater Portland.

I decided that I wanted to do something more,” she said.

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

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

Last November, Driving Force made a delivery of wish-list goods to its first recipient, the Ronald McDonald House. “They were surprised because I hadn’t

Wilkinson Park project a priority for S.P. rec directorBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — Wilkinson Park on New York Avenue is quaint, popular and embodies the desires of the family that donated the land to the city.

The community center at the edge of the park is less so, according to an assessment presented to city councilors Oct. 22 by Recreation Director Rick Towle.

“This has the bones of a nice park,” Towle said as he led councilors past a basketball court, Little League field and 22 new parking spaces created by removing trees along New York Avenue.

Then he took them inside the community center, a 24-by-48-foot structure about 60 years old. The knotty pine walls charmed some councilors – Rosemarie De Angelis joked she wanted first crack at the paneling if it is removed.

Less charming and more expensive for DaviD Harry / THe ForecasTer

Tucked away on New York Avenue in South Portland, Wilkinson Park is donated land used for athletics and recreation. City Recreation Director Rick Towle said repairing or replacing the park

community building is near the top of his priority list for winter projects.

Gas station arrests lead to drug seizures

SCARBOROUGH — Two women face drug and other charges after their arrests Oct. 30 at a Route 1 gas station, according to Police Sgt. John O’Malley.

Tania Margate, 39, of Old Orchard Beach, and 23-year-old Star-Asia Kelley of Brooklyn, N.Y., were arrested around 6 p.m., following an investigation, O’Malley said.

After the arrests, O’Malley said local of-ficers, police from Old Orchard Beach and agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency executed a search warrant for a room at Route 1 motel where Kelley was staying.

The search turned up about 12 grams of crack cocaine, five grams of heroin and $2,000 cash. Margate was also allegedly found in possession of about six pieces of crack cocaine and Kelley was allegedly dis-covered holding four bags of heroin during processing at Cumberland County Jail in Portland, O’Malley said.

Kelly was charged with two counts of felony drug trafficking and felony drug possession. Margate was charged with drug possession, operating after suspension and failure to appear on an outstanding arrest warrant.

councilors to consider is the rot below the floor tiles, the bathrooms that fail to com-ply with Americans With Disability Act standards, and the kitchen that does not meet contemporary codes. The oil tank was removed several years ago, and the build-ing only generates $1,600 in gross annual rental revenue.

City Manager James Gailey has set aside $50,000 in the current capital improvements budget for work at the park. The Recreation Department can add $10,000 of its own funds, but Towle’s preliminary estimate for replacement of the community center is $75 per square-foot, or roughly $83,000.

That is just for a building of a similar size meeting current codes, Towle said.

‘Concert for Ashley’ combines 2 bands

SCARBOROUGH — The Scarborough High School wind ensemble and the brass section of the Sacopee Valley Commu-nity Band will combine musical talents at a 7 p.m., Nov. 8, benefit concert at Scarborough High School for the Air for Ashley Fund.

The fund helps the family of Scarborough resident Ashley Drew with

News briefsexpenses from her double lung transplant on June 8 in Boston.

Drew, 25, is a 2004 Scarborough graduate. She plays woodwinds and saxo-phone and was part of the jazz ensemble and marching band at the University of Maine.

The concert, featuring guest conduc-tor Curvin Farnham, will include tradi-tional and modern concert band music and marches. Farnham is the retired conductor of the University of Maine Symphonic Band.

There is no price to the concert, but donations to the Air for Ashley Fund are requested. Donations can also be sent care of Renee Richardson, Scarborough High School, 11 Municipal Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074.

Design picked for children’s garden at Fort WilliamsBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — After unveil-ing the first phase of an intensive rede-sign of the Fort Williams Park Arboretum this summer, the park foundation has selected a landscape design for an esti-mated $500,000 Children’s Garden.

The Fort Williams Foundation an-nounced last week that a design by Portland-based landscape architects Mitchell & Associates was chosen from

four other blind submissions for the one-acre garden.

“In looking at the five competition entries there was one that most clearly fit with the natural opportunities of the site and looked at matching those with devel-opment of the park,” said Lynn Shaffer, who is on the foundation’s Children’s Garden Design Committee.

Although the plans are conceptual at this point, the proposed garden will be

a play space that incorporates the park’s natural environment, with some historical aspects included.

The garden, which will be behind the tennis courts near the pond on the west side of the park, will have a meadow and a woodland area that use surrounding plants to create play areas, such as a wil-low tunnel and a maze. It will also have a lighthouse large enough for about four kids to stand inside, with colored panels bringing light in, and a view of Ram Is-land Ledge Light.

“I think the main thing is that is differ-ent from a traditional play-station is that it is not relying on play structures and really celebrates the beautiful location at Fort Williams,” said Sashie Misner, lead designer for the garden.

The goal of the garden is to give a space for kids to play that stimulates learning and curiosity by using the land-scape as the play area, she said.

“If you compare it to a thick structure play thing, it doesn’t change throughout the seasons,” Misner said, noting that in a meadow the characteristics of plant and insect life change throughout the year. “It’ll be a real changing experience ... and those things provide access to kids to understand what makes those special.”

The design plans will go through the approval process during the winter and spring, with construction slated to start next summer, said Ginger Jones, a fund-raiser and grant writer for the foundation.

The cost of the garden includes all construction and design, as well as, administrative costs and money for a sustainability fund, she said.

The garden is a portion of the second phase of a three-phase process that includes 15 different restoration sites around the park. The first phase, Cliff-side, the landscape between Portland Head Light and Ships Cove, was com-pleted in the summer.

The park sees more than 800,000 visi-tors a year, Jones said.

One of the main reasons for the resto-ration is to remove invasive plant species from the park that choke out the native plants, Shaffer said.

“We want provide education to people of all ages in a way that helps them understand what they are losing when invasive species take over the natural environment,” she said.

Much of the work for the overall project still remains, but Jones said the foundation hopes to have the restoration complete by the summer of 2014, in time for the park’s 50th anniversary.

The total costs of the entire park over-haul will be about $2.5 million, which is intended to be raised through private donations and grants.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

Southwest begins Portland flights in April

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

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

Those are the same number of daily flights now flown to Baltimore by South-west subsidiary AirTran Airways, which will end its Portland service April 13, 2013.

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

Southwest plans to serve Portland with 143-seat Boeing 737 jets, while AirTran uses 117-seat Boeing 717s.

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

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

By Will GraffFREEPORT — Business owners and

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

“We haven’t established any metric that can demonstrate success,” Sande Updegraph, Freeport station manager and former executive director of the Freeport Economic Development Corp., said. “All of the businesses are kind of waiting to see what traffic actually comes.”

The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority estimates that a conserva-tive average of 100 passengers a day will ride north of Portland, or about 30,000 or more a year.

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

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

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

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

“It looks like it’s going to be an exciting

Businesses optimistic as Downeaster rolls north

Courtesy roger W. BeverageThe Downeaster, above, stops briefly in Yarmouth on Monday during a trial run of the Amtrak service to Freeport and Brunswick. Regular service is scheduled to begin on Thursday, Nov. 1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

land will welcome the extension.“I’m really excited about the service and

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

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

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

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

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

“Local businesses have really come together and have some great offerings,” she said, referring to coupons, specials

Greater Portland transportation projects receive $11.5MBy Alex Lear

PORTLAND — Transportation projects in several Maine communities are benefiting from $11.5 million in state and federal funds.

The Portland Area Comprehensive Transportation System policy committee al-located the funds to 44 projects, which will total about $13.6 million with $2.1 million in local matching funds added.

The projects will take place in 2014 and 2015, with some possibly to start next summer, according to PACTS. Estimated

costs include a 25 percent contingency that PACTS requires, although the hope is that the projects will be competed without using that buffer.

The projects include intersection pro-posals at Woodfords Corner in Portland, with a total cost of $1.5 million; a Route 1 roundabout in Yarmouth, about $210,000; and Broadway signal cabinets in South Portland, $50,000.

There are also two bicycle/pedestrian projects: a Portland Transportation Center

neighborhood byway, about $375,000, and a Main Street path extension in South Port-land, about $301,000.

Paving makes up the bulk of the projects, including work in:• Falmouth – Leighton Road, about $292,000.• Freeport – Desert Road, nearly $32,000.• Portland – Baxter Boulevard, about

$354,000; Canco Road, nearly $469,000; Danforth Street, $212,000; Lambert Street, about $293,000; Middle Street, about $187,000; Oxford Street, nearly $96,000; Park Avenue, about $6,000; Spring Street, about $84,000; Spring Street arterial, $344,500; Temple Street, $103,500, and Union Street, about $183,000.

• Scarborough – Payne Road, $943,500.• South Portland – Billy Vachon Drive,

$40,000; Cottage Road, $192,500; Mar-ket Street, about $113,000, and Stanford Street, nearly $44,000.

• Yarmouth – North Road, $178,500, and Route 1, $1.2 million.The projects were chosen through a year-

long technical review process that PACTS staff led in collaboration with the Maine Department of Transportation, as well as consulting engineers and municipal staffs from around the area.

DOT will manage most of the projects, although municipalities can manage proj-ects themselves with some DOT oversight.

Occupy Maine sets focus on home foreclosuresBy Marena Blanchard

PORTLAND — Members of Occupy Maine are focusing their efforts on housing foreclosures and providing support to Main-ers struggling through the process.

The newly formed Occupy Our Homes is offering services that include general infor-mation, legal assistance, and fundraising.

Some of the core activists involved par-ticipated in the occupation of Lincoln Park in Portland. But William Hessian was in Minneapolis, Minn., where one of the first Occupy Our Homes groups was founded.

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

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

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

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

Over the past few months the group

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This doesn’t happen many times in the real world,

because the real world is not an amusement park.Were the real world an amusement park, the cute

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

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

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

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

You hop onto the highway for what should be a four-hour drive, and then, bam – an hour and 12 minutes into the trip your kids have to pee and then your check engine light comes on. Or someone decides it’s a good

time to repave the road. And suddenly, what was once a four-hour trip is now going to be a five-hour trip. Or a six-hour trip. Or, heaven forbid, a 12-hour trip ulti-mately involving a motel room.

Drew and I once piled ourselves and our first two chil-dren, then ages 4 and 15 months, into our rather small car for an extended Easter weekend afternoon in New Jersey, fully expecting to arrive home approximately 4 1/2 hours later. Five minutes into our journey, we thought we spotted a snowflake fluttering down toward our windshield. An hour or so later, we had a flat tire. Luckily, we found a repair station, procured a new tire, and got back on the road – just in time for the April Fool’s Day blizzard of 1997.

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

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

sign would have been appreciated.But when it comes to things like building a relation-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

South Portland market loses turkey farmer

Thank you to the people who have shopped at The Turkey Farm's stand at the South Portland farmers market over the past year and a half.

Unfortunately, when the market ended last week, so did our effort to create a lasting market for our products in South Portland. Sales cannot justify our participa-tion again in the winter market. As to next summer, the word is that the City Council intends to move the mar-

ket again, and we're not able to start over for a third time. There has been enough turmoil and drama.

The move to Mill Creek Park this year certainly im-proved the market, but construction on all four sides of the market and inside the park made access difficult for customers. We knew going in that we were up against a big competitor in the Portland farmers markets, but we believed that South Portland offered greater variety and that customers would respond. Not enough did.

We found that while people in South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and other towns will travel to Portland to shop, people in Portland will not cross the billion-dollar bridge to shop in South Portland.

We won't be marketing at the winter market at the for-mer Hamlin School, but we again intend to use that site for customers to pick up Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys they have ordered.

Thank you again, and best of success to the other farmers and to customers who seek the best food at the South Portland farmers market.

Gun clubfrom page 1


FileClub members take aim at targets in April at the Spurwink Rod & Gun Club on Sawyer Road in Cape

Elizabeth. The club and neighbors are discussing hiring a consultant to review safety at the range.

back almost two decades, a lawyer rep-resenting a client in the neighborhood, which is north of the range and separated by a wooded area, brought the issue to councilors’ attention again in April, ask-ing them to review the safety conditions.

One persistent complaint from neigh-bors dates back to a bullet found lodged in the side of a home in 2009, allegedly from the range. Police said it was unclear where the bullet originated.

“Everyone has to realize that the club is steadfast in our belief that the errant round did not come from our club, pe-riod,” Club President Mark Mayone said this week. “A lot of time it’s used strictly as a fear issue to get people against our club.”

In a mid-October council workshop, the two sides agreed to find a consultant to review the situation and provide rec-ommendations for improvements.

The club recommended hiring South Portland resident Quirino Lucarelli, a National Rifle Association-certified range adviser, according to club officials. improvement spurred by discussions is a

now 60-percent-complete fence around the range. “More than anything, it’s just that the membership wanted to do all this stuff.”

Some of the improvements include adding surveillance and installing a secure entrance that requires individual entry codes, so the club can identify who has been at the range, Mayone said.

The club has also added ballistic sand to berms and started work on a covered shooting shed, which will likely reduce noise, he said.

“We want to do lots of stuff, but there are financial restraints we have to worry about,” Mayone said. “The threat of liti-gation prevents us from spending money on what we want to do.”

Wagner told the council in April that he thinks “the town needs to consider its own liability with regard to the safety of its citizens. ...This is not an anti-sports-man issue. This is not an anti-gun issue.”

The town does not license or regulate

the range, and noise restrictions at gun ranges are determined at the state and federal level, Council Chairwoman Sara Lennon said.

“The truth is the town doesn’t have much sway,” she said. “All we’re trying to do is encourage and cheer-lead them to work together and compromise, and do all those kinds of things that lead to good solutions.”

Lennon said the main issue is safety and that the council hopes the parties can agree on a consultant to assess the situation.

The council is expected to hear an up-date at its Nov. 14 meeting.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

The neighbors’ lawyer, Jamie Wagner, who is also a candidate for Town Coun-cil, said he contacted Lucarelli, but has not heard back from the NRA to verify the consultant’s qualifications.

“I have had communications with an-other expert and am considering retain-ing that individual,” Wagner said in an e-mail. “There has been no agreement yet on which consultant will be used, or whether both will be used.”

Both parties agree that communication about the issue has improved, but May-one said no future meetings have been scheduled because of calendar conflicts.

Wagner said although dialogue has im-proved, the ammunition containment and noise abatement improvements he wants to see have not been made.

The club has made several improve-ments to modernize the range in the last three years, Mayone said, although the changes were part of the 300-member-club’s five-year plan and were not done to placate neighbors.

“If the neighbors had never approached the Town Council, all of the things we’ve done would have moved forward anyway,” he said, noting that the one

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

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

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

By Michael HofferThe Scarborough field hockey

team proved mortal after all Sat-urday evening, but despite falling a win shy of its ultimate goal, the Red Storm were champions in every sense of the word.

After early playoff exits each of the past two seasons, Scarborough ran roughshod on the competition this fall, winning all 14 games by shutouts and as the top seed in Western Class A, blanking three more foes: No. 8 Thornton Acad-emy (4-0) in the quarterfinals, No. 4 Westbrook (3-0) in the semis and No. 2 Cheverus (3-0) in the regional final last Wednesday.

That victory punched the Red Storm’s ticket to the Class A state game Saturday evening in Orono, where waiting, once again, was the perennial champion Skow-hegan Indians, who have won the

state title every year but one since 2001.

As dominant as the Red Storm had been in the regular season, Skowhegan was even more so, especially on offense. The Indi-ans racked up 117 regular season goals and tacked on 27 more in three playoff wins. While Skow-hegan surrendered two goals along the way, its defense was pretty formidable as well.

Scarborough played Skowhegan in each of its prior two champion-ship appearances, dropping an agonizing 2-1 overtime decision in the 2008 game and returning the favor by the same score the following year, thanks to Ellie Morin’s game winner in OT.

After hanging tough in a score-less first half, the Red Storm’s amazing shutout run finally came

Cape boys lap field to win Class B cross country titleBy Michael Hoffer

For the first time in six years, the Cape Elizabeth boys’ cross country team has no peer in Class B.

Saturday, at the state meet in Belfast, the Capers tallied 76 points to hold off runner-up Falmouth by 11.

Cape Elizabeth placed two runners in the top 10, as Liam Simpson was sixth for scor-ing purposes (with a time of 16 minute, 55.42 seconds on the 5-kilometer course) and Peter Doane placed ninth (17:03.29). Both runners qualified for the New England championships, to be held Nov. 10 in Cumberland. Also scoring were Will Britton (18th, 17:42.56), Kyle Kennedy (20th, 17:46.95) and Justin Guer-rette (23rd, 17:52.36).

It was the Capers’ eighth cham-pionship overall.

“The race went just about as we expected,” said Cape Elizabeth coach Derek Veilleux. “We knew it would come down to the team that could run the last mile the fastest. Up until 1,000 meters to go, we were still losing the meet to Falmouth. We talked all week about being able to dig deep to finish strong, and when the time came, we found another gear. Kyle and Justin were able to move up several spots to seal the win for us. It was a great moment to see our guys coming up the final hill to the finish area. I knew at that point we had pulled off the win. They didn’t know they had won when I met them in the finishing chute, but when I told them they were ecstatic. We put in 19 weeks

South Portland standout Nyajock Pan had the second-best time and was first for scoring purposes at the Class A meet. Pan qualified for New Englands in

the process.

Mixed results in football playoffsBy Michael Hoffer

Cape Elizabeth and Scar-borough’s football teams took part in the opening weekend of the playoffs last weekend and both teams competed well.

Friday night, the Red Storm hosted Sanford in Western A and broke open a close game in the second half to win, 42-16.

Many miles to the south, the Capers enjoyed an early lead at top-ranked Marsh-wood, but couldn’t build on it and ultimately went down to a 27-7 defeat.One step closer

Scarborough was 6-2 in the regular season and earned the No. 3 seed in Western Class A. The Red Storm hosted sixth-ranked Sanford

of training to have a shot at win-ning. To get the job done on race day was rewarding to all.”

Cape Elizabeth will be the fa-vorite to repeat in 2013.

“We return our entire top sev-en,” Veilleux said. “I know several guys will be running at least one season of track either this winter or spring, which should help us continue to develop. We will have to commit to the summer training if we want to stay on top. I think this group will stay motivated. They want to be the best then can be. The expectations will be high and we will have a target on our backs. Ellsworth returns most of their top runners, so I expect them to be a serious challenger. Falmouth is supposed to move to Class A, but if they don’t they will be very good. I expect York,

Greely and Yarmouth to be strong as well.”

The Capers girls also ran at states and finished ninth with 193 points (Mt. Desert Island was the champion with 67).

Individually, the Capers were led by Rhoen Fiutak, who came in 23rd (21:05.85). Also scoring were Ellen Best (29th, 21:36.56), Sam Feenstra (44th, 22:06.84), Emma Inhorn (46th, 22:09.02) and Dana Hatton (51st, 22:25.31).

In the Class A boys’ meet, Scarborough sought a third straight title and seventh over the past decade, but the Red Storm had to settle for third after scor-ing 95 points (Massabesic was the champion with 82 and Lewiston was runner-up with 91). South Portland (394) placed 15th.

Scarborough’s top finisher

was Robby Hall, who came in second individually in 16:39.88 and qualified for New Englands. Also scoring were Jack Sullivan (12th, 17:04.83), Colin Tardiff (24th, 17:31.51), Ian Morris (27th, 17:32.3) and Jacob Terry (30th, 17:40.71).

Soccer teams on the brink(Ed. Note: For the complete Scarbor-

ough-Greely boys’ and Scarborough-Thorn-ton Academy girls’ game stories, please see theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

Three Forecaster Country soccer teams were a win shy of the state final at press time.

The Western A girls’ regional final fea-tured a compelling matchup between Cape Elizabeth, making its first appearance since 2000, against two-time regional champion Scarborough.

The Red Storm earned the No. 3 seed in Western A after a superb 12-1-1 regular season. Scarborough struggled before fi-nally outlasting No. 6 Sanford in the quar-

down the wing and I hit it in. It was sort of a lucky goal. It worked out in our favor.”

With 3:31 to go before halftime, Ronzo scored a goal of her own.

“Ashley passed it to me and I one-timed it,” said Ronzo. “I just took a shot.”

Then, with 11.5 seconds left before the half, Martens delivered the backbreaker, scoring on a rebound.

“We say 2-0 is the most dangerous lead, so the third goal put them under,” Martens said. “I was in the right place at the right time.”

In the first 40 minutes, Scarborough outshot the Golden Trojans, 10-0, putting forth a dazzling display of soccer.

“We got on a roll,” said Ronzo. “I was amazed with our first half. Our outside-mids played so well. Once we get it to the outside, we can cross it to Sarah and Jess, who are such amazing finishers. I can count on them to be there.”

“I thought it was the best first half I’ve ever seen a team that I’ve coached at Scarborough play,” Red Storm coach Mike Farley said. “We passed to feet, played wide, beat players on the dribble and had finishing passes into a dangerous area. I couldn’t have drawn it up better if I had them go out there without any defenders. They did a great job executing.”

Scarborough’s defense put the clamps down in the second half and the Red Storm cruised to a thoroughly decisive 3-0 victory, handing Thornton Academy its first loss in 16 games.

“It feels so good, I can’t even describe it,” Martens said. “I love this feeling. We were ready. We’d been waiting for this game since they beat us. We were so pre-pared. We just wanted to come out and show what we do.”

“It was huge for the kids,” said Farley. “It’s not that we just lost (the first time), we didn’t play well. Our outside players didn’t play as big a role as they needed to. Today, they were dangerous all game. Serving balls and shooting and scoring themselves. They really created chances.”

Cape Elizabeth exceeded expectations this fall by winning every game but two, a season opening home loss to two-time defending Class B state champion Fal-mouth and a scoreless home tie versus rival Greely. The Capers wound up fourth in the region and after escaping No. 13 South Portland in the preliminary round, 2-1, handled the fifth-ranked Rangers in surprisingly easy fashion the quarterfinals, 3-0. That sent Cape Elizabeth to top-ranked Windham for the semifinals Friday night.

The Capers went down, 1-0, early and still trailed by that margin in the second half, but Kate Breed tied the score with 27 minutes to go. That was it for scoring in regulation and neither team could convert in 30 minutes of overtime, necessitating penalty kicks to decide a winner.

Each team had five chances in the PK round and the Eagles appeared primed to advance when they made three of their first four shots, but Breed, Maddy Riker and Talley Perkins all converted to force a second round of kicks. Katherine Briggs, Sarah O’Connor and Elise Flathers then made their shots in the second round, while Windham only converted one, giving Cape Elizabeth a 2-1 (6-4 PKs) triumph.

“They took the lead early and we strug-gled to get a grip of the game,” said Capers

terfinals, 3-1, behind two goals from Sarah Martens and another from Jess Meader.

The Red Storm then had a chance to earn some revenge in the semifinals Saturday, at No. 2 Thornton Academy. The Golden Trojans had handed the Red Storm its lone loss, 1-0, back on Sept. 27, but Scarborough wasn’t about to let it happen again.

After missing on several good early op-portunities, Scarborough broke through with 14:22 to play in the first half when Martens finished a cross from Ashley Ronzo.

“We were all so pumped for the game and ready to get one under our belt,” said Martens. “Once it happened, we kept it go-ing and kept momentum. Ashley brought it

coach Luke Krawczyk. “We changed our shape at halftime and split our forwards to isolate their defenders. This worked well early on in the second half with Kate Breed finding herself 1-on-1 with a defender. She beat her and placed the ball near post past the goalie. After that, we restricted Windham to long range shots with them only having two closer than 20 yards out. In overtime, it was very close, but both teams had few chances. It was on to PKs and we snatched it. I was obviously delighted with the win and how well we competed. I’m very proud of all the girls and their performance.”

The Red Storm don’t play Cape Elizabeth in the regular season, but the schools do have an extensive playoff history, squaring off five previous times, with the Capers winning four. The most recent was Scar-borough’s lone triumph, 2-0, in the 2010 quarterfinals.

“We are really looking forward to play-ing Scarborough,” said Krawczyk. “They are a good team and we are happy we have the chance to play them and test ourselves against the best. They are a program that is consistently at the top and we want to be there with them not just this year but every year.

Scarborough knew it wouldn’t be easy, but was confident and driven entering the showdown.

“I don’t really know much about (Cape),” said Martens. “I know they’ll come out and play hard. They’re a young team with a lot of heart and in the playoffs, heart really matters. I know it will be a really tough game.”

“It isn’t an easy matchup,” said Farley. “I told the kids we’ll have a battle. We’ve beaten everyone else and now we have to face each other. It’ll come down to who can create chances and who can finish them.”

The winner will draw either defending champion Bangor or Hampden Academy in the state final Saturday at 12:30 at Hamp-den Academy.

The Red Storm played the Rams in each of the past two state finals, winning, 3-0, two years ago before losing, 4-0, last fall. Scarborough has no history with the Broncos. The Capers have no history with either school.

Scarborough’s boys made it back to the regional final for the second year in a row and eighth time over the past decade.

The Capers edged the Eagles in penalty kicks and advanced to their regional final since 2000.

Soccerfrom previous page

The Red Storm tied South Portland and Gorham, but beat everyone else in the regu-lar season to wind up 12-0-2, good for the No. 2 seed in Western A behind Gorham.

Scarborough handled No. 10 Portland in the quarterfinals, 3-0, as Austin Down-ing scored twice and Sam Cekada had the goals.

“Any win in the playoffs is a big win,” Downing said. “It’s big to get over the first hump. It gives us confidence going into the next round.”

“It’s good to score first,” said Red Storm coach Mark Diaz. “The energy was good. I thought we could’ve been a little more patient, but that’s typical of a first playoff game. Portland’s young, but they worked hard. They put up a fight. It wasn’t easy.”

Scarborough then hosted third-ranked Greely in the semifinals Saturday in the seventh postseason meeting between the teams, who don’t play in the regular season, in the past decade.

A taut first half ended in a 1-1 tie after an early tally from Scarborough’s Dan Ornstein was countered by a strike from Greely’s Jacob Nason.

The second half featured consistent pressure from Scarborough and the hosts were finally rewarded with 10:45 left in regulation.

After a controversial foul call, the Red Storm got a free kick and Wyatt Omsberg passed to Trevor Sparda, who raced down the left side before firing a shot on Greely goalkeeper Elijah Leverett. Leverett wasn’t able to handle the shot cleanly and with a defender and Scarborough’s Charlie Mader all converging on the play, the ball found its way into the net and the Red Storm had the lead for the good and went on to a 2-1 win.

“Wyatt played it quickly to Trevor and Trevor crossed it in,” said Mader. “I ran front post and I don’t know if I distracted the goalie. I diddn’t touch it. It was confus-ing. I didn’t care who scored.”

“I got a ball from Wyatt and I just put it in the mix,” Sparda said. “It might have hit off the keeper and went in.”

“It was another classic,” Diaz added. “We always play each other tough. It’s always close to the end. With my guys, it was all about patience. We got the ball in dangerous spots and we finally got one.”

Scarborough had a showdown at Gorham (14-0-2) in the regional final. The teams have quite an ample playoff history, having met six previous times, with the Red Storm taking five of them, including the most re-cent, 2-0, in last year’s semifinals.

“We’re happy to be back,” Diaz added. “This is what we wanted. This is one of our goals. We know how good Gorham is. If you want to win it all, you have to beat four good teams.”

If Scarborough managed to prevail, it will play either Mt. Ararat (14-1-1) or Lewiston (13-2-1) in the Class A Final, Saturday at 10 a.m., at Hampden Academy. The Red Storm lost to the Eagles in penalty kicks in the 2003 state game, then returned the favor with a PK victory in the 2005 contest. Scarborough hasn’t played the Blue Devils in the postseason.

Cape Elizabeth’s boys hoped to reach the regional final, but after a 7-5-2 regular sea-son record and a 2-1 win over Marshwood in the preliminary round, the eighth-ranked Capers met their match at No. 1 Gorham in the quarterfinals last week, 1-0.

“The Gorham game was a well played game by both teams,” said Cape Elizabeth coach Ben Raymond. “We outshot them, 9-7, but they probably had a little more pos-session. It really came down to one break they were able to capitalize on. We really should have tied the game up. We hit the post with about three minutes to go. All in all, we played a very good game, only gave up a couple opportunities and were able to create some of our own. Both teams played very hard and it was a disappointing loss.”

The Capers should be a strong contender again next fall.

“I think we will be in great shape next year,” Raymond said. “Obviously, losing our seniors will hurt some, but we have have some very talented players coming back I would say that we will be ready to go next fall, have a much better sense of what it takes to be successful at this level and have a group of young men who will be hungry to excel in the Western Maine Conference and well into the playoffs. They know they were as good as anyone else this year and I don’t think next year’s group will settle for anything less then excellence in practice and in games.”

Scarborough volleyball takes champs to limit before ousterBy Michael Hoffer

A year after losing to Greely in last year’s Class A state final, the Scarborough volley-ball team got another crack at the Rangers in the semifinals last week and almost de-livered a delicious dose of payback.

The Red Storm was 10-4 in the regular season, losing to Biddeford twice and Gorham and Greely once each, to wind up sixth in Class A. After a 3-0 win at third-ranked Ellsworth in the quarterfi-nals, Scarborough got its rematch with the

second-ranked Rangers.The Red Storm, which lost, 3-0, at

home to Greely in the lone regular season encounter, Oct. 3, won the first set of the playoff match, 25-21. The Rangers then put Scarborough on the brink with 25-19, 25-14 set wins, but when the Red Storm won the first 16 points of the fourth game, a winner-take-all fifth set appeared to be a guarantee.

Instead, Scarborough gave almost every point back as Greely pulled within 23-22, before the Red Storm closed out the set, 25-22. Scarborough had little left for the fifth game, however, and lost, 15-7, to drop the match 3-2 and end the season 11-5.

“I was very happy with how my team came together towards the end of the sea-son,” said Scarborough coach Jon Roberts. “We played our best volleyball against Ells-worth in the quarterfinals and then again against Greely. They are a great team and we gave them all they could handle in their own gym. My girls played great.”

The Red Storm, which creeps closer and closer to the pinnacle, should be a major factor again in 2013.

“We will lose a lot of senior leadership but will return a great group of kids who are excited about next season,” Roberts said.Sports editor Michael hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

in the quarterfinals. The teams didn’t play in the regular season and had no playoff history.

They have one now and it featured a large dose of Dillon Russo.

Scarborough’s standout quarterback gave his team an early 7-0 lead with a touchdown pass to Dan LeClair. After Sanford’s star Alex Shain tied the game with a TD run and the visitors momentarily went on top on a field goal, Russo hit Chris Cyr with a scoring pass to put the Red Storm ahead to stay, 14-10 at halftime. A Russo-to-Greg Viola TD pass pushed the lead to 21-10 af-ter three quarters. Then, in the final stanza, Scarborough put it away as Russo found Viola from 61-yards out, Ben Greenberg returned an interception 60 yards for a score and after a Shain TD run, Russo found Cyr for his fifth touchdown pass of the game, bringing the curtain down on the 42-16 victory.

Russo finished with 280 passing yards and also tied Nik Pelletier for the team lead with 11 defensive tackles, Viola had eight receptions for 185 yards and two TDs and Cyr caught four balls for 75 yards and two scores.

“I thought we played very well offen-sively once we started throwing and catch-ing the ball,” said Scarborough coach Lance Johnson. “We missed some open guys and dropped a couple of balls early. We have great athleticism in our receivers and we make teams cover all five eligible receivers and tackle Russo on the draw. Defensively, we wore Sanford down in the second half after giving up some yardage in the first half. We we bolstered by the return of big defensive tackle Devon Stanford.”

The Red Storm advanced to face second-ranked Thornton Academy (8-1, after

surviving Kennebunk, 42-34, in its quarter-final) Saturday at 1 p.m. in the semifinals. Scarborough lost, 35-7, at the Golden Tro-jans Sept. 29, in a game that was closer than the final score indicated. The teams have no playoff history.

The Red Storm will go to Saco with nothing to lose.

“TA will certainly be a big challenge for us,” said Johnson. “They are very strong and experienced at all the skill positions on offense and defense. We are excited for the opportunity to compete together for another week. Our team is determined to play our very best on Saturday.”

Scarborough is hoping to reach a first-ever Western A Final Nov. 10 against either two-time defending Class A champion Cheverus (9-0) or Portland (6-3).

One and doneCape Elizabeth earned the eighth and

final Western B playoff spot with a 3-5 mark and made it seven straight postseason appearances, but had to go to No. 1 Marsh-wood for the quarterfinals. On Oct. 5, the Capers lost at the Hawks, 20-0. The teams had no playoff history.

Friday, Cape Elizabeth had a great shot at springing a major upset.

Noah Wolfinger hit Cam Wilson with a touchdown pass to give the Capers a 7-0 lead after one quarter. The Capers had opportuni-ties to add to their lead, but failed to do so.

Marshwood got its act together in the second half, scoring two touchdowns in both the third and fourth periods and went on to a 27-7 win, ending Cape Elizabeth’s season at 3-6.

“We put a scare into them,” said Capers coach Aaron Filieo. “That’s the theme of our season, play tough and go nose-to-nose with the best. We had chances to go up 14-0, but we had a TD called back on a holding penalty and turned the ball over on downs deep in their territory, so it was just a one-score game at halftime. They didn’t neces-sarily wear us down in the second half. We

lost two impact players, Nick Moulton and Ethan Murphy, but we tried to continue to press them and turned it over twice.”

Cape Elizabeth’s final record is mis-leading. The Capers pushed several of the league’s top temas, but averaging a little over 12 points a game spelled some tough losses.

“I told (the guys) that I’ve coached three-win teams before and it was a completely different feeling this year,” Filieo said. “You can only play the cards you’re dealt, but these guys competed every game. We lost at least two guys a week to injuries and they stayed positive. I credit the senior leader-ship and the young guys stepping up. The season was a success.”

Cape Elizabeth should be right back among the top contenders in 2013.

“The expectations will be higher next year,” Filieo. “We only lose six seniors, but our offensive and defensive lines will be thinned. We do have all our skill guys back. We expect to get back to our win-ning ways.”

to an end with 26:45 to play in the second half.After 1,053 minutes and 15 seconds this

year (and 1,260 minutes and 56 seconds in the regular run of play dating back to the Deering game Oct. 4, 2011), Scarborough had to watch an opposing player fish the ball out of its cage after hearing an unpleas-ant thwack.

Skowhegan’s Sarah Finnemore did the honors, converting on a penalty corner to make it 1-0, putting the Red Storm behind for the first time all season.

“We’ve kind of struggled with our cor-ners this year, actually, so it was really nice to finally get them so we could actually

in the game and went on to the victory, 3-0.The Red Storm got off only two shots,

both in the first half, and wasn’t awarded a single penalty corner. Goalie Shannon Hicks made four saves.

“Skowhegan is a tremendous team and came to play on Saturday,” Mariello said. “With some incredible saves by Shannon and a stellar defensive performance by her surrounding teammates, we were able to hold them scoreless in the first half, which was an accomplishment in itself. We unfor-tunately couldn’t hold them off for another 30 minutes. Their first goal was absolutely beautiful and resulted in more to follow, which is something as a coach you hoped wouldn’t happen.”

The 2012 Red Storm will be in the na-tional record books for its 17 straight shut-outs, one shy of the 1998 Winslow (Maine) Black Raiders, who hold the mark with 18.

The Red Storm finished 17-1, but now has to part with 10 seniors. Scarborough is returning an abundance of talent, however, so a run to the 2013 state game isn’t out of the question.

“The 17 games that got us to (states) were the most gratifying and team-oriented games that I have ever coached,” Mariello said. “I believe each person that was in-volved, whether it be the players, parents, peers, or community members all felt that

37th in 18:01.3. Also scoring were Jacob Guay (83rd, 19:04.59), Colton Gervais (89th, 19:20.19), Daniel Jordan (92nd, 19:29.57) and John Salamone (93rd, 19:34.4).

On the girls’ side, Bonny Eagle was the champion with 66 points. South Portland placed sixth with 168.

The Red Riots featured Nyajock Pan, who was second to Lawrence’s Erzsebet Nagy, with a time of 19:01.89. Since Law-rence didn’t qualify as a team, Pan was first for scoring purposes. Casey Loring came in 10th, 19:44.82, and joined Pan in qualifying for the New England meet. Also scoring were Angela Tirabassi (33rd, 21:38.6), Ari-ana Mohammad (51st, 22:37.17) and Ciera Mullen (73rd, 23:33.81).

score,” said Finnemore.“It was a hard spot for Scarborough to be

in, not being scored on,” said Skowhegan coach Paula Doughty. “I don’t know if I’d want to be in that spot because that’s a lot of pressure.”

Scarborough was in an unfamiliar posi-tion.

“Our defense was strong and we were hopefully going to give them their turn and see how their defense held up,” said Red Storm coach Kerry Mariello. “Unfortu-nately, (we) couldn’t get that break.”

With 24:57 left, Finnemore scored off another penalty corner. Makaela Michonski then tallied for Skowhegan at 24:25.

“They would have scored on [NCAA Di-vision I] goalies, that’s how beautifully ex-

sense of wholeness that this team created. It will go down as a season of a lifetime and I have been blessed to be a part of it. The seniors are a special group and will make a positive impact in all areas of their future lives. They have impacted me and this pro-gram in a way that is immeasurable. Next season will hopefully be a continuation of this same focus.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Europa GalanteEuropa Galante is a globetrotting Ba-

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

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

The ensemble has a varying structure and often performs chamber music such as the string sonatas of Italian composers of the 17th century. This Friday’s program will focus on composers Antonio Vivaldi and C.P.E. Bach.

Europa Galante has appeared in many of the world’s most celebrated concert halls such as La Scala in Milan, Accademia di

Frederic dupouxHaitian singer-songwriter and guitarist BelO,

known as his country’s socially conscious musical ambassador, will be playing in Portland

this Sunday.

Santa Cecilia in Rome, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Royal Albert Hall in London, Musikverein in Vienna, Lincoln Center in New York and the Sydney Opera House. The ensemble has toured throughout Australia, Japan, Europe, Canada, Israel, the U.S. and South America.

And now they’re schedule for the Olin Arts Center on the Bates College Campus in Lewiston at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2. Call 786-6135.Portland Symphony OrchestraJazz is one of America’s most distinctive

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

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

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

Gibson has performed abroad with New Orleans Hot Jazz in Germany, England, Holland, Norway, Sweden and Australia. Other highlights have been a week of per-formances in Vienna and a tour of Japan with The World’s Greatest Jazz Band.

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

Bowl with John Mauceri and the Holly-wood Bowl Symphony Orchestra.

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

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

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

BelOA socially conscious folk singer, hailed

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

Jean Murat Belony, known professionally as BelO, was born near Haiti’s capital and started singing at a very young age. BelO

interprets ballads and other songs channel-ing his deep and diverse Afro-Caribbean roots with the intriguing beats of reggae and the soul of R&B.

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

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

Eric BettencourtOne’s first impression of Eric Bettencourt

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

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

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

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

Benefitfrom page 1


Portland Club, 156 State St., Portland. The benefit is open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10 to $20.

“This will be a celebration of life and hope,” Louten said.

The Loutens have lived on Pine Point Road for about a year, after moving from Harpswell. Louten works part-time as a pediatric nurse. Her husband, Danny, is a graphic designer.

Friends and artists from Harpswell, Au-gusta and other towns have donated their art and time to a silent auction to raise money for River’s care and expenses. The River Louten Benefit Gala will also feature food and live music.

There will also be marrow screenings for possible donors by Paul Grenier of the National Marrow Donor Program. The screening requires a swab of cheek cells and places a person on the national

donor registry.The best possible donor match for

River will rank 10 of 10 on a scale mea-suring human leukocyte antigen, or HLA. Even if a perfect match is not found at the Nov. 16 screenings, marrow matches for other patients of diseases, including leukemia, may be found.

Despite low red blood cell counts that can inhibit oxygen flow, and low platelet counts that help blot clot, River enjoys outdoor play and likes to walk on the beach or at Scarborough Marsh, his mother said.

“We can do things within reason, we play a lot of T-ball on the grass,” she said.

“I like to do jumping jacks,” River added.

Because of his reduced ability to fight infections and illnesses, River no longer attends day care. Louten said the family is cautious about things like birthday parties, because of the possibility of contagions. When she and her husband

both have to work, her mother or one of River’s former day-care instructors help care for him.

The aplastic anemia was discovered after River had an allergic reaction to fish one Friday night several months ago. He is also allergic to nuts, eggs, poultry and sunflower and sesame seeds.

The reaction to fish caused bruising and pinprick-sized spots on his torso from burst blood vessels, called pete-chiae. On the Monday after his reaction, Louten said his pediatrician took a blood sample. When the results were known the next day, she was told to take him to an emergency room, because his platelet count was dangerously low.

By that Wednesday, he was seeing doctors at the Maine Children’s Cancer Program in Scarborough. It was quickly determined he did not have leukemia, but

his bone marrow was failing. Louten said a marrow transplant would have promis-ing results.

“His youth means chances of recovery are very strong,” she said.

A transplant also means one to three months of hospitalization in Boston, with Louten staying close by and Danny Louten visiting when he can.

The food allergies have ensured the whole family eats a better diet without processed foods, Louten said, but it will be a relief when that is the biggest prob-lem they confront with River’s health.

“We will gladly go back to a life with its smaller challenges,” she said.

News about River and more informa-tion about the benefit auction and gala can be found at the River Louten Fund page on Facebook.

Wilkinson Parkfrom page 3

More detailed estimates need input from the community and city councilors on how the building could be used.

“I’m not trying to deter you,” Towle said. “I’m just trying to give you the true picture.”

Towle also provided councilors with details on three options to consider for repairing or rebuilding the community center, or replacing it with a pavilion that could be used for eight or nine months of the year. The pavilion is likely the least

expensive option.Gailey said no date has been set for

hearings or meetings on the future of the park, but Towle said park improvements are high on his priority list.

Once known as Sunset Park, the land and community center was a shared neighborhood recreation area owned by the Wilkinson family and homeowners in the neighborhood west of Route 1 and bounded by the Interstate 295 Connector.

“In it’s era, a very forward-thinking thing to do,” Towle said.

The land was donated to the city about 35 years ago. About 30 years ago, the

park was renamed for the three genera-tions of Wilkinsons who wanted the land to be used for recreation.

Some boundary questions are still unanswered, but the park is at least six acres. The baseball diamond used by the South Portland Little League takes up a large space, but fields beyond and adjacent trails are popular with residents. Towle said the park is important for younger children, because it is one of the few recreation areas accessible by bike or foot for children who live nearby.

Towle’s desire to improve the park is shared by John Wilkinson, whose father

and grandfather donated the park land. In August, Wilkinson first approached Gailey and Towle about conditions in the park.

While ensuring the intended use would remain constant, Wilkinson told coun-cilors a new community building would boost rental revenues for the city.

“We want it to meet the needs of to-day,” Towle said. “(The family) did a wonderful thing, (and) we couldn’t buy that land today.”

Votingfrom page 1


lots were cast in the town of about 14,000 registered voters. Because Town Council chambers are used for polling, councilors canceled their Oct. 17 meeting, and public hearings on proposed zoning changes and Sanitary District rate increases were shifted to local schools.

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

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

In North Yarmouth, Town Clerk Debbie Grover’s statistics showed the number of eligible voters has remained fairly constant, ranging from 3,154 in 2008 to 3,182 in 2006 and 3,192 in 2010, but the 2008 elec-tion drew a 78 percent turnout with 800 absentee ballots counted. This year, with 3,037 eligible voters in town, Grover said 507 absentee ballots were requested and 360 returned by early this week.

Requests for absentee ballots have also declined in Cumberland, but 1,223 of 1,512

requested absentee ballots have been cast in a town with 6,000 registered voters. The amount is more than the 1,199 requested in 2010, but fewer than the 2,083 requested in 2008.

Early and absentee voting in Freeport and Yarmouth is also unlikely to top 2008 totals, but has already surpassed the 2010 numbers. In Freeport, where there are an es-timated 6,200 registered voters, about 1,200 absentee ballots have been requested. That tops the 1,070 requested in 2010, but is well behind the nearly 2,000 requested in 2008.

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

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

Along the Mid-Coast, requests for and returns of absentee ballots has lagged in

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

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

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

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

funded with $3 million of city money and $600,000 from the Portland Water District, altered life above and below ground along Ocean Street, Cottage Road, Market Street and the “alphabet” streets in Knightville throughout the summer. Construction noise and unpaved streets and sidewalks were the norm as crews installed mains and other infrastructure.

The first phase of work at Mill Creek Park culminated with the construction of a new stone entrance at Ocean Street and Broad-way, but the work included nearly all areas of the park, from the seating areas near the pond to the Veterans Green off Broadway.

The shelter took about three years of planning before being brought to the City Council as a gift by Rotary Club member Dan Mooers about a year ago. The park redesign and renovations are part of a master plan by Topsham-based landscape architect Regina Leonard that councilors accepted in 2010.

The first phase of improvements included new pond retaining walls, new walking paths and a new garden adjacent to the Broadway and Ocean Street entrance. The total cost for the work was about $338,000. All but $17,000 was funded by a Communi-ty Development Block Grant from the state.

There is no schedule or funding for future

phases of park work, Gailey said during the summer.

The Knightville project is part of a larger, 10-year plan to ensure waste water and storm water are handled separately, which will reduce flow at the city waste water treatment plant on Waterman Drive.

Weeks said storm water will now flow to new outfall areas near the treatment plant at at the end of E Street, and through a new main replacing an existing one under F Street.

The $3 million city share of the proj-ect used funding from a reserve fund of sewer user fees, tax increment financing and Maine Department of Transportation and state Community Development Block Grants, Gailey said. The project will not affect local property tax rates.

Gailey said the remaining work schedule calls for pavement striping, minor repaving and repairs to the traffic circle at Legion Square. Crews poured and shaped concrete sidewalks last week. New street lights will be turned on next week.

The traffic flow change on Ocean Street was approved by councilors last month to allow angled parking to continue in front of businesses on the block. The decision reversed an initial plan that would have al-lowed two-way traffic with parallel parking on both sides of the street.
