Harpswell lighthouse deed up for grabsOnly nonprofits need applyBy Matt Hongoltz-Hetling

HARPSWELL — For sale: Lighthouse, free to a good home.

You might not see that posting on Craigslist, but the Halfway Rock Light Station, off the coast of Harpswell, is up for grabs for the first time since it was built in 1871.

There is a catch, of course.

COuRtESy GSA / KRAiG AndERSOnNonprofits are invited to apply to become the new steward of the

140-year-old Halfway Rock Light Station, off Bailey Island.

The federally owned light-house, on a barren, two-acre ledge in Casco Bay, will only be deeded to an eligible nonprofit group that pledges to maintain the structure, both as a naviga-tion aid and as a resource for the public good.

“They are still very important

In tepid water: Fast-food restaurants don’t comply with health requirementBy Matt Hongoltz-Hetling

PORTLAND — The biggest burger chains on the planet fail to consistently provide local custom-ers and employees with the water temperatures needed to facilitate sanitary hand washing – despite state and federal requirements that they do so.

People who go to the bathroom, and then use cool water afterwards to wash their hands, are more likely to promote the transmission of germs than those who use hot water, experts say.

“There’s a fecal-oral transmis-

sion,” Dr. Stephen Sears, Maine’s state epidemiologist and a big fan of proper hand washing, said. “That means that somehow, or-ganisms got from your feces to your mouth. It’s not pleasant to think about, but it happens a lot.”

The Forecaster went into the restrooms of 14 area restaurants operated by McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s to check rest-room water temperature compli-ance.

Of the 14 restaurants, nine were not in compliance with the law, which requires a minimum

temperature of 110 degrees. Four of the restaurants had top tem-peratures below 100 degrees, and one Wendy’s, in Brunswick, was a chilly 63 degrees.

“That’s not very warm,” Sears said.

The owner of the Wendy’s fran-chise in Brunswick said that the cool temperature was the result of a plumbing problem, which he repaired after he was made aware of it.

It can be difficult for small, family-operated restaurants to pay for the sometimes-expensive fixes

to health problems such as low temperatures at bathroom sinks.

But large fast-food chains seem to make enough money to address such issues. According to fran-chise information published by the company, the average annual sales volume of an established McDonald’s is $2.4 million.

Sears said that, in the home, hand washing is a personal health decision. For a restaurant employ-ee, however, that personal choice becomes a matter of public safety.

Loss leads Bath high school principal to resign after next yearBy Alex Lear

BATH — Looking to start a new direc-tion in life after a recent personal loss, Peter Kahl, Morse High School’s princi-pal since 2007, plans to resign next year.

The Regional School Unit 1 Board of Directors accepted Kahl’s resignation Tuesday, Superintendent Patrick Manuel said Wednesday. The resignation is effec-tive July 31, 2013.

“I appreciate all he’s done for Morse High School,” Manuel said, adding that the search for Kahl’s replacement could begin early next year.

Kahl, 47, of Bath, said last week that the recent death of his partner of 20 years, Martin, was the key factor behind his decision to resign. The past year has been tough, Kahl said, because Martin was in an intensive care unit in Indianapolis, after his second liver trans-plant. Kahl was flying back and forth to Indiana.

“He died Feb. 18,” Kahl said. “And as soon as he had died, my connection to Maine – it was a decision for us to move up here together, to live here together – sort of disappeared.”

The tragedy prompted Kahl to make a major change, which he figured would

Peter Kahl

mean leaving Maine.“But I didn’t want to rush through the

process of trying to finish out the school year, and sell my house, and do every-thing at once,” he said. “So I thought it was probably most fair to the high school to to give them a year’s notice.”

Kahl’s plan is to go abroad, through the International Schools Services. Al-though he would ultimately like to work in Europe – South America and Japan are

other top choices – he said he might have to start in the Middle East, where Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates interest him.

“Martin and I always talked about living abroad,” Kahl said. “But when his health began to deteriorate in 2003, before we even moved to Maine, we realized it probably wasn’t a good time to go into a different health-care system, so we stayed.”

Kahl said he has loved his time in Maine, and will maintain a connection to the state through his camp on Hancock Pond in Denmark.

He and Martin previously lived in Maryland, close to Washington, D.C. Kahl started as an English teacher, then became a mentor for other teachers, which helped prepare him for the administrative world. He became assistant principal at Cony High School in Augusta in 2004.

Kahl said he was reluctant to apply for the principal’s job at Morse, given his home’s close proximity to the school. But he eventually found the arrangement beneficial.

“As principal, with the number of hours it requires and the number of obligations you have, it was very convenient to be

able to just walk across the street and connect with the house before I went off to my next meeting or to my next event,” he said. “And I have never had an issue, in the five years I’ve been there, of my house being vandalized, or targeted, or anything. It’s been great.”

The greatest reward of his job has been becoming part of the “long-standing tra-dition of Morse High School,” Kahl said, mentioning that working with the Bath High School Alumni Association “was just fantastic.”

Kahl praised “the spirit of Morse that ultimately catches all the students up.”

On the other hand, a key challenge has been changing a perception of Morse that Kahl said is untrue – an image that drugs, violence and teen pregnancy are rampant at the school.

“Anybody who you talk to who is cur-rently (attending) Morse says it’s a great school,” he said. “But what tends to hap-pen is that the people who went to Morse ... sort of remember it the way they did when they were there. ... They continue to perpetuate an image of the school that no longer exists, and it’s unfair to Morse, because I think Morse does a great job by our students, and I think it does a great job by our community.”

Kahl said he has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Morse, and “will cherish my time and memories being here.”

$26M budget goes to RSU 1 voters

BATH — Residents in Regional School Unit 1 will vote next week on a $26 mil-lion spending plan for fiscal 2013.

The district budget meeting will be held at the Bath Middle School gymna-sium at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 5. Residents will vote again in a budget validation referendum a week later. If approved, the

budget will take effect July 1.Taxes in Bath are proposed to increase

by 5.38 percent, or about $438,000, to $8.6 million. Arrowsic’s assess-ment could climb nearly 16 percent to $494,000. Phippsburg could increase 9.54 percent to nearly $3 million, and Woolwich’s tax would grow 1.77 percent to $3.1 million.

West Bath’s assessment could decrease nearly 17 percent, to $2.2 million.

LePage bond veto raises questions from businessesBy Matt Hongoltz-Hetling

BRUNSWICK — Gov. Paul LePage has been an outspoken proponent of business-friendly initiatives and eco-nomic development.

But when he vetoed of a popular pro-business initiative on the Friday before Memorial Day, he touched off criticism from businesses around the state.

The Legislature gave wide bipartisan support to LD 225, a bill that would have asked voters in November to back a $20 million bond for the Maine Technology Asset Fund.

MTAF, administered by the Maine Technology Institute in Brunswick, has nearly $53 million invested in 35 research and development projects across the state.

In his veto message, LePage cited an unwillingness to increase debt.

“We are using debt to pay operational costs,” the governor said. “If the Legisla-ture truly believes we should spend $20

million on research and development, then we should reduce spending else-where in the budget and pay for it out of the General Fund.”

Business leaders who have benefited from the program say that the money is an investment, not an expense, and suggested that the governor’s veto was short-sighted.

“I know no one likes debt, but if you want the harvest, you have to seed,” said Martin Grimnes, owner of Harbor Tech-nologies in Brunswick.

Chris Sauer, owner of Ocean Renew-able Power Co. in Portland, has said that his company wouldn’t exist were it not for the MTAF program.

“Clearly, creating jobs in the future, and investment in research and develop-ment are linked. That’s well proven,” he said on Tuesday. “... You can’t reach out and touch it right now, so you have to have vision. You have to have vision

about the future.”Kent Peterson, president of Yarmouth’s

Fluid Imaging Technologies, agreed.“It is regrettable that investments in the

technology space by the State of Maine are being blocked given that investment returns from prior outlays have demon-strable benefits in terms of new, high paying jobs and new company start-ups, both of which Maine desperately needs,” said Peterson. “Technology is the one area where Maine can ill afford not to maintain competitiveness if it wishes to remain relevant in the 21st century.”

Sauer said the bond is particularly im-portant in the current economy.

“People like me believe that a good public investment is what’s needed, a good shot in the arm to the economy,” he said.

OverrideThe Maine Center for Economic Policy

is advocating an override of the veto, cit-ing studies that have found that MTAF stimulates the economy.

According to MECEP, Maine realizes $12 in economic benefits from every $1 the state invests in R&D.

Sauer said LePage should allow the people of Maine to decide whether they favor the bond.

“I was disappointed that the governor has decided that the people of Maine shouldn’t decide, that the governor decid-ed that it should be his sole decision,” he said. “That’s the biggest disappointment.”

Mike Belliveau, executive director of

the Environmental Health Strategy Cen-ter, said LePage is turning his back on an important sector of the state economy.

“The governor has abandoned Maine’s innovation economy,” he said, and urged lawmakers to override the veto.

“Now it’s up to the Maine Legislature to act again with bipartisan wisdom and common sense to restore Maine’s eco-nomic future,” he said.

Grimnes said that he and other business leaders will be paying attention to the outcome of the Legislature’s attempt to override the veto.

“I think there is a lot of bipartisan sup-port for those activities,” he said, “so it will be interesting to see where they end up.”

At the same time that he announced the veto, LePage said he was withholding his signature from four other bond initiatives that have been approved by the Legisla-ture. Those bills will go before voters in November.

The Legislature is scheduled to con-vene on Thursday, May 31, at which time it will consider whether to override the veto of LD 225 and three others.

Budget meeting OKs $33.4M in spending for SAD 75By Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — Next year’s $33.4 mil-lion School Administrative District 75 spending plan received strong support at a district budget meeting last week.

The May 24 meeting, which ran a little more than an hour, drew fewer than 50 registered voters from SAD 75’s four com-munities – Topsham, Harpswell, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham – leaving many seats

School chief seeks action, cooperation as town weighs optionsBy Matt Hongoltz-Hetling

BRUNSWICK — As the School Board wrestles with decisions about which of its elementary schools to keep open, a survey of school staff and the public doesn’t ex-actly shed light on the matter.

During a Tuesday meeting of the board, Superintendent Paul Perzanoski expressed frustration with criticism, and issued an impassioned plea for residents to exercise patience in helping administrators work through the aftermath of the closing of Brunswick Naval Air Station.

“The transition of any community is always uncomfortable,” he said. “This is probably the most uncomfortable commu-nity I have ever worked in. ... We have to work together through this uncomfortable period and stop pointing fingers at each

other. ... We need the support. ... When I got speaker after speaker coming to the podium all this year and all I hear is how horrible we are, because of the transition, it bothers the hell out of me.”

The staff at Harriet Beecher Stowe and Coffin elementary schools were asked to participate in an online survey that asked whether it would be better to have two schools or one for the district’s 600 stu-dents in kindergarten through second grade.

The two options are under consideration by the board, which is trying to decide whether Jordan Acres should be reopened.

In one scenario, Jordan Acres would house 200 to 300 students, while Coffin would house 300 to 400 students.

Another option would involve closing Jordan Acres permanently, and sending

all of the students to a so-called “super school” at Coffin that would house as many as 600 students.

The online survey drew 251 responses, including 28 votes from members of the public, who were not specifically targeted by the survey.

When the votes were tallied, Perzanoski said, there wasn’t much of a mandate for one option over the other.

“Put all that together; it’s 125 that voted for two elementary schools, and 126 that voted for one,” he said. “I don’t think we learned much.”

During a public hearing before the meet-ing, residents expressed concern about the idea of a larger school, which they said could be intimidating and unfriendly to young children.

“I live in the Jordan Acres neighbor-hood,” Dana Bateman said. “I really do think that history may judge the super school model poorly. We’ll look back and say, ‘oh yeah, look what we had to do dur-ing those decades when we were really underfunding education.’”

Board members and members of the public also expressed concern that the pro-cess might be moving too quickly. In order to be funded, a facilities plan must be in-cluded in the town’s Capital Improvement

Plan, which is due to the Town Council by June 11.

If the district’s plan is not included in the CIP, then it will not be voted on by the public in November.

Perzanoski said the process has been on-going for almost a year, and that it is time to make a decision.

“Because of the length of a project like this, sometimes it seems that we haven’t spent the time on the issues,” he said. “The time has been spent on the issues. Have we done a good job of getting all the informa-tion out to you? I don’t think we could ever get all the information out to you.”

Perzanoski said that a failure to pick a course of action would force second-grader to continue to attend Stowe, which runs counter to the plans for that school.

“Grade 2 does not belong in that build-ing,” the school chief said. “We haven’t had the opportunity to run it as it has been in-tended. It’s extremely important to us to get Grade 2 out of that building so that we can see how we can run it with Grades 3 to 5.”

After much discussion, the board asked Perzanoski to explore whether it would be possible to move forward with a request under the CIP without fully committing to a course of action in the facilities master plan.

Brunswick business proves foreign investments can boost local economyBy Matt Hongoltz-Hetling

BRUNSWICK — Less than a year after breaking ground at Brunswick Landing, Molnlycke Health Care was named For-eign Direct Investor of the Year by state officials, highlighting a rarely appreciated sector of the state’s economy.

George Gervais, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, gave Molnlycke and three other businesses special recognition on Maine International Trade Day, May 24, in Rockport.

The company manufactures and sells wound-care products around the world.

When Molnlycke came to Brunswick in July 2011, company representatives said the deal would bring 100 jobs and $37 million to the area.

Emily Butcher, a spokesperson for Molnlycke, said that plans are running behind the original timetable, which called

for completion of the project by July, but the company still expects to reach those benchmarks by the end of the year.

“We’re going to keep pushing for more,” she said.

Foreign direct investing companies are important to the U.S. economy, and were worth $328 billion in 2008, according to a recent report by the Department of Commerce.

According to the the report, FDI is responsible for 2 million manufacturing jobs across the country. And jobs at U.S. affiliates of foreign-owned companies pay 30 percent more than the national average.

With ties to international markets, the companies are also more resilient than many companies in the face of a local eco-nomic downturn: the Department of Com-merce found that workers at these busi-nesses experience fewer layoffs than their counterparts at domestic-owned companies.

Molnlycke became invested in Maine as part of a desire to control its own supply chain, Butcher said.

Brunswick-based Rynel used to manu-facture the foam that Molnlycke uses in its wound-care products; rather than continue to purchase the product from Rynel, the company decided to purchase the company itself.

“We used to purchase from them; now we decided to invest in them,” Butcher said, adding that Molnlycke now sells foam to other companies around the world.

The foam produced in Brunswick is shipped to a plant in Finland, where it is combined with other elements and turned into the final product.

But Butcher said that the shipping is both costly and time-consuming, with a

two-week overseas journey for each ship-ment.

When the new facility at Brunswick Landing is completed, the material will no longer have to be shipped to Finland; in-stead, the completed wound-care products will be fully assembled in the U.S.

While the overall effect of foreign investment on the US is significant, the majority of the impact is generated by a handful of countries.

In 2010, according to the Commerce report, 84 percent of foreign investments came from just eight countries, with Swit-zerland heading the list.

The other significant investors were the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Ger-many, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Canada.



SAD 75from page 4

almost 25 jobs – has been cut too much.The budget, as proposed by the Finance

Committee, includes the reduction of 11.9 full-time equivalent positions: classroom and special education teachers, a librarian, nurse and speech and language therapist. It also includes the reduction of 12 sup-port staff positions – including education technicians, secretaries, bus drivers and custodians – and an administrative position.

The cuts amount to “fewer people having to do even more work and try to maintain a quality education,” Superinten-dent Brad Smith said last week. “We have a responsibility both to provide quality education that our students deserve, and to balance that with the ability of our local citizens to pay for that.”

Patrick Moore, director of special ser-vices, said 673 students were identified for special education in 2006, versus 458 in 2011, “so the reductions in special edu-cation really have been consistent with the reductions in the number of students that

we have in special education.”The decline in next year’s budget is due

largely to losses in state and federal aid, as well as money no longer available from the federal Education Jobs Fund program.

“I think this budget is too low,” Jim Byrne of Topsham said, adding later that he felt the district is slipping in terms of education, and that “education is not a cost; it is an investment. ... We’ve consid-ered moving, because we’re so concerned about education. What kept us here is the quality of the teachers.”

“When we looked at what it would take to maintain all of the programs that we currently have ... we were looking at either making cuts of a magnitude that we chose to make, or increasing the tax rate significantly,” Smith said, adding that the School Board, Finance Committee and administrators, in developing a recom-mended budget, “have to consider what they think it is that our communities are willing to support, and that’s a tough call.”

Elinor Multer, chairwoman of the Harpswell Board of Selectman, criticized the meeting’s closed system, which allows

voters to reduce, but not increase, spend-ing for specific articles.

“I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that it’s time to do it differently,” she said.

The amount to be assessed through taxes is $18.8 million, an increase of about $98,000, or 0.5 percent. Business Manager Steve Dyer has said it is SAD 75’s first tax hike in four years.

Topsham’s assessment would decline 3.6 percent to $7.5 million, due to a drop in its state valuation. Other towns should see increased assessments: Harpswell, 2.31 percent to $6.6 million; Bowdoin, nearly 6 percent to $2.2 million, and Bow-doinham, 4.45 percent to $2.4 million.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

Pope transfers Portland bishop to BuffaloBy Matt Hongoltz-Hetling

PORTLAND — The pope has sent Maine’s highest-ranking Catholic, Bishop Richard J. Malone, to the Diocese of Buf-falo.

The move will result in an opening that could last for up to a year, officials of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland said Tuesday.

The decision, made by Pope Benedict XVI a week ago, was announced pub-licly Tuesday morning. Malone said that, in retrospect, he saw a sign from God that presaged the decision.

“Sometimes, subtle indications of God’s plan for us only become apparent in hind-sight,” Malone said during a teleconference from Buffalo. “The day before the archbish-

op called me, I was up in northern Maine celebrating confirmation liturgies. ... One of the folks up there advised us to get off the interstate and take a more rural route. ... He said, ‘If you’re really lucky, you’ll see a herd of buffalo.’ And there they were, 10 buffaloes grazing in a field.”

Malone was born in Massachusetts in 1946, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1972 in Boston. He served as the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese in Boston from 2000 to March 2004, when he became the 11th bishop of Portland.

Malone said the call to serve in the Dio-cese in Buffalo, which has three times as many Catholics as Maine, was “surprising and very happy news.”

“I accepted immediately,” he said.Still, said Malone, he will miss the

Northeast.“I will certainly miss Maine,” he said,

“and the region where I have spent all of my life until now.”

Monsignor Andrew Dubois of the Dio-cese of Portland said that the decision didn’t alter Malone’s focus on his Maine schedule over the course of the past week.

“In many ways, it’s been business as

usual,” Dubois said.Sue Bernard, communications director

for the Portland Diocese, said Malone’s transfer will probably be challenging for him.

“He did talk about how he doesn’t know one soul in Buffalo, so I think that’s going to be tough,” she said. “But this is the life of a priest. He seemed to be in very good spirits.”

Dubois said Malone’s Aug. 10 installa-tion in Buffalo will not shake the church’s commitment to defining marriage in Maine as between a man and a woman, a debate in which Malone has played a central role.

“Because the teaching of the church is solid, ... the teaching does not change and therefore every priest, every deacon, every layperson who is faithful to the church is going to continue speaking about the beauty and truth of marriage as we’ve known it for the last 2,000 years,” Dubois said.

Malone has presided over a period of restructuring of church entities driven by a reduction in resources.

“In my eight years in Portland, we went from 135 parishes and 45 missions ... and have gone to about 66 parishes,” he said Tuesday. “Many of those have been merg-ers. ... In many cases, six, seven, eight, nine, even as many as 10 churches have become one.”

Dubois said that the church may be able to avoid significant reorganization for the immediate future.

“I’m hoping that this will keep us in good stead for the next eight or 10 years. I really do,” he said.

An interim bishop of Portland is expected to be appointed within a week, pending a permanent appointment by the Pope. Ber-

nard said that an extensive vetting of can-didates can make the process for permanent appointment take up to a year.

She said the permanent replacement could be an existing bishop, or it could be someone who is being promoted.

During his tenure in Portland, Malone came under fire from critics who said he has shielded priests guilty of child molesta-tion from the consequences of their actions. One organization, the Ignatius Group, held a protest in April near Malone’s home in Falmouth, and has repeatedly called upon the bishop to publicize the whereabouts of priests known to have committed sexual abuse against children.

While Malone spoke of transparency as a high priority in Buffalo, Paul Kendrick, of the Ignatius Group, said Malone’s time in Portland was marked by a closing of the ranks.

“I’m sad when I think about what could have been over the past eight years,” he said. “As an advocate for clergy sexual abuse victims, I’ve watched as Bishop Malone and his priests have bullied mis-treated, ostracized, rejected, and played hardball legal tactics with the same kids who piled into the family car to go to mass every Sunday.”

Kendrick said that Malone’s replacement is unlikely to change the situation.

“I have no hope whatsoever,” he said. “They will dispatch to Maine a clone of Bishop Malone.”

Now 66, Malone could serve in Buffalo for as many as nine more years before he reaches the church-mandated retirement age of 75.

He replaces retiring Bishop Edward Kmiec, who announced his resignation when he turned 75 last June.

The Diocese in Buffalo oversees 633,000 Catholics in eight counties, compared to 187,000 in all of Maine.

Online dating in Portland: The good, the bad, the very uglyBy Nina Allen

The last time I was in the man-meeting market, look-ing for dates was as easy as:

1 — Head to the convenience store and buy a copy of Casco Bay Weekly ($1).

2 — Sit at the typewriter (with no correction key) and compose a witty, charming, thoughtful, exciting yet mysterious ad that will capture the eye of every single guy.

3 — Jump in the car, head over to the post office (gallon of gas: $1.07).

4 — Wait for the ad to appear in the once-a-week paper.

5 — Wish, hope, and pray the kind folks at CBW will find a free mo-ment to collect my 100 responses, stuff them in a large envelope and forward to my home address.

6 — Get the package! Sit down! Open each envelope (what?? only 15??) with bated breath. First one: uh, what’s with the spelling? Second one: ohmygod, does this guy live on hamburgers and fries? Third one: he lives in Calais? You get the picture. Simple, right?

Well, not terribly simple, but good enough to meet my now ex-husband.

Fast forward 20 years. Wow, have things changed.Within an hour of signing up with an online dating

site, writing a witty, charming, thoughtful, exciting yet mysterious ad, posting photos (thanks, Photoshop) and giving my credit card number with trepidation, I have

53 responses. Whoa Nelly!The Good:I’ll call him “Hank.” We have so much in common!

Love to eat! Love music! Books! Dogs! And cats! The beach! HE is the ONE.

And “Hank” would’ve been, except I felt absolutely no chemistry. Let’s be honest here, peeps. I have fan-

tastic friends. A loving family. A successful career. I don’t need a friend. I want someone to snuggle with. Chemistry is important. Bye-bye, “Hank.”

The Bad:His name is “Dick.” The profile

was short, but the photo – oh, the photo. Sitting in a sailboat (not

his), looking out to sea with a pensive look. Calling me, come hither! I hithered. We met for coffee at Starbucks. Now I know why the pensive look. “Dick” has no teeth. Yup, not a one. Well, I didn’t check the molars. Perhaps he has a few. Maybe not. I poured massive amounts of cream in my coffee to cool it down, gulped as quickly as I could and said, “Thanks, ‘Dick.’ Got to head out to get my teeth cleaned.” (I really didn’t say that). Bye-bye, “Dick.”

The Very Ugly:Let’s meet “Jack.” Loved the profile; my mother

would’ve picked him out for me. Nice photos: on a 100-mile bike ride, running a marathon, sitting at an outdoor cafe with a lovely grin (he has teeth!). Works for The

City. You had me at first click. Feeling’s mutual. Let’s go bold! Dinner for the first date. WOW. Three hours later, it was a match! Hugs, followed by a sincere “I-want-to-see-you-again-how-soon-can-we-get-together-again?” After countless emails, texts, phone calls, date two arrives. WOW. Four hours! Lunch, walk around Mackworth, holding hands, talk, laugh, sharing our in-ner, outer, and past lives, and yes, kiss. KISS! The kind you don’t do with your cousins. Ah, yes!

Ah – no. That was it. End of story. No communica-tion. No word. No explanation. Rien. Finito. (For the record, I did follow up a couple of times, but was met with short and cursory responses.) Huh??

OK. It’s time to regroup, rethink, relax and rejuvenate before jumping back in the online dating saddle again. I haven’t given up. Just letting go for the moment. It’s not easy finding someone, and the older we get, the harder – well, you know how it goes.

But I’m beginning to miss the simpler, good ol’ personal-ad days of Casco Bay Weekly. Where are those remaining 85 responses they never had time to mail?

Portland resident Nina Allen can be found toot-ing her own French horn in the Portland Sym-phony Orchestra. Her favorite composers are Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and Zevon. She can be reached at [email protected].

What’s a Mainer? Find out at the lobster museumThese missives never come out the way I want, and

by “the way I want” I mean, “as good as I want.”A recent column was supposed to be about learning

to respect Maine and being more accepted by native Mainers for it. It turned out to be mostly anecdotes describing how I patronized Mainers on my first visit here and how they ran rings around me without me even knowing it.

Missing the bull’s eye is one thing. Missing the whole target is embarrassing. Oh, well, call it an introduction.

It’s true that Mainers made no secret of their “us against them” mentality 30 years ago. We heard many variations of the old saying: real Mainers had to be born here, and maybe their parents and grandparents before them. Most people said it with a smile, but they were, as my grandfather might have said, “kidding on

the square.”I can understand why.

If I was any example, people from away would say they loved Maine with-out knowing a damned thing about it or the peo-ple who lived here. They came mostly to resort areas, mostly on the coast, mostly in the summer. The Mainers they met were serving dinner or selling souvenirs. Did summer people wonder where their waiters lived or what the clerk at that cute boutique in Camden did after work or how they managed to sur-vive the eight months in between seasons? Doubt it. I know I never did.

My attitude shifted during my second trip here, on a belated honeymoon. It was summer again. Our room overlooked Penobscot Bay. The stage was set for another superficial week eating seafood in the only state I’ve ever been in that actually looks better than the postcards. By chance we were staying at a bed and breakfast near one of Maine’s many small museums.

There’s a difference between Maine and the other places I’ve been: mom and pop museums. This one was about when Maine was a hub of intercontinental shipping during the age of sail. I’m not talking about the glamorous clipper ships. Maine sent out the deep-bottomed trading vessels that did the heavy lifting. They were built here, I learned, and had captains and crews from here. They went to sea for months, even years at a time. I learned they were nearly self-sufficient, float-ing kingdoms ruled by captains and their wives. Yeah. These guys took the whole family with them.

At sea they had the power of life and death. They needed to. There was nobody to call for help if they got in trouble. When they got back, those captains were often rich men. The crews made out pretty well, too. If they got back. Maine wasn’t always Mexicali Rose and lobster roll country. Those quaint small towns were founded by resourceful, independent people who derived satisfaction from confronting the challenges of a beautiful and remote place.

We went to an even smaller museum that sounds like

a tourist cliche: a lobster museum. I’m embarrassed to say this, but I actually thought this would pretty much round out my education. I know what you’re thinking: “Really, Mike? A lobster museum? Could you be any shallower?” In my defense, at least I didn’t make the Hajj to Freeport and call it a day, walking out of L.L. Bean saying, “OK, we’ve done Maine. If we hurry we can learn about all about New Hampshire and Vermont before dinner.”

Going through that small, not very fancy museum I got to experience a Mainer’s pride in being a Mainer. Our guide looked like she was fixing traps five minutes before the tour. She didn’t have a polished, memorized presentation, but she sure knew lobsters and lobster fishing. What struck me most, though, was her opening. I don’t remember it word for word, but this is close: “My husband is a lobsterman, and I’m a lobsterman’s wife. If you hear somebody say, ‘lobster fisherman,’ you correct him because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

I don’t know if that’s really true, but she said “lob-sterman’s wife” with such pride, and something else, too, defiance maybe, or a kind of urgency. She seemed to want us summer folk to know that they weren’t extras in our vacation movies. They were living a life they had chosen, not an easy one, but an independent one, an extension of whatever made an earlier generation go down to the sea in ships, a life they were proud of. It probably seems silly, but that woman helped make Maine a completely different place for me.

Here’s my crackpot theory, then: the “us versus them” mentality is diminishing in part because more people from away have had their versions of my lobster museum moment. They’ve seen past the lighthouses and boutiques of postcard Maine, and Mainers have responded by becoming more inclusive. I say good for both sides.

Unless the natives are still running rings around me without me even knowing it, in which case I say curse their Downeast inscrutability, and curse me and my Midwestern thickheadedness.

Invasion of the giant hogweedMan, oh man, what are we going to do about the

invasion of the giant hogweed?Standing 14 feet tall, the giant hogweed is the

latest terrorist threat Mother Nature has thrown our way. Its clear sap can cause third-degree burns when it comes in contact with skin and blindness if it gets in your eyes. But its only harmful in sun-light. Stephen King couldn’t make up something like this. It’s weeds gone wild.

Native to the Caucasus region and Central Asia, giant hogweed was a favorite of Victorian garden-ers in Europe and America. Its imposing height, broad leaves, and floral umbrellas made it an ornamental superstar, “Queen Anne’s lace on steroid” as one horti-culturist put it.

In recent years, giant hogweed (so-called because pigs can ap-parently eat it with impunity) has raced across New York and New England. It’s been found in 20 places in Maine already. Local-ly, its been spotted in Sebago, Windham, and West Falmouth, so keep your eyes open (or closed, as the case may be), because it’s heading our way.

“Here, piggy-piggy! Come eat this invasive spe-cies.”

“Invasive species” has long struck me as a curious social construct, one that assumes some elements of nature do not belong in nature. More to the point, the designation “invasive species” assumes that human beings can control nature, are not themselves parts of nature and, in any event, should not be moving plants and animals around where they don’t belong.

It’s that “where they don’t belong” idea that fascinates me. Just as a weed is any plant growing where humans don’t want it, an invasive species is

any living thing that exists where we don’t want it. (As a personal aside, I have been trying to get Bay Staters on Moody Beach and Republicans in Augusta listed as invasive species for several years now without success.)

By now we are all familiar with that most feared of invasive aquatic plants, variable leaf milfoil, the lake-choking invader that now requires all boats entering Maine fresh waters to be inspected. Less well-known among the underwater invaders are fanwort, hydrilla, frogbit, pond weed and water chestnut. And we’ve actually gotten used to the purple loosestrife that has invaded every ditch along the interstate. Kinda pretty this time of year.

Lately, I have begun to see signs warning of Maine’s ban on all out-of-state firewood, a suspect-ed infiltration route for the Asian longhorn beetle and emerald ash borer. (The fact that the emerald ash borer and I share the same initials – EAB – is purely coincidental.) Any day now, I expect Maine’s tea party libertarian/constitutionalists to attack the firewood ban as an infringement on indi-vidual liberty and an unconstitutional taking.

Remember the good old days when we only had to worry about gypsy moths deforesting millions of acres? Now we’ve got to be on the alert for Eu-ropean fire ants, green crabs, common periwinkles, Rapa whelks, northern pike, giant hogweed, and gi-ant African land snails. Believe it or not, the Maine Department of Agriculture lists the giant African land snail (aka GALS) as a pest. I guess a snail the size of a football would be, wouldn’t it?

Which reminds me, you should see the size of some of the slugs in our backyard. Carolyn put me in charge of slug patrol while she is in Japan for two weeks. It’s a losing battle. And I sure hope the Japanese beetles don’t get here before she does.

Thurber in register of probate primary

Nancy Thurber for Cumberland County register of probate. Most of us don’t get involved with probate all that often, but when we do, neatness counts. Nancy Thurber is neat – as a person and as a title abstractor. Her service has provided many reliably accurate reports for my clients as a title lawyer. Nancy holds to the high-est standard of detail and accuracy. I have no doubt she will run a tight ship and provide the public with efficient and competent service at the Cumberland County Pro-bate Court. If you vote in the primary scratching your head, “register of what?,” consider Nancy Thurber for a vote that will count when it counts.

Johnson should represent BathThis letter is written in support of Paul Johnson, who

is running to represent Bath's District 62 in the state Legislature.

I know Paul, and believe his optimism, good humor and well-con-sidered opin-ions will make him an effec-tive legislator. Although he is a Bath native

(his family ran the old Sedgwick Hotel), Paul has trav-eled the globe. He has taught and been a school admin-istrator in Vermont; New Orleans; Washington, D.C.; the Caribbean and in China. Since his return to Bath 11 years ago, Paul has been active as a civic-minded citizen. He has served on the School Board and on the Mid Coast Hospice Board, among other activities. His service distinguished him as one who is not satisfied with the status quo.

Bath deserves a representative who combines passion, experience and intellect. I believe Paul Johnson will give Bath a respected voice in state affairs.

DeChant in Bath Democratic primary

For busy Bath Democrats who may not be aware, there is a primary election June 12. In District 62, we have two candidates running for state representative. I will be voting for Jennifer DeChant. She has the experi-ence we need in the House of Representatives. Jennifer has worked in the office of the speaker of the House, and she handled staffing and constituent matters for more than a dozen Democrat legislators. Jennifer also

John Pierpont Woods, 94: Lived with energy, enthusiasm and curiosityHARPSWELL - John Pierpont Woods,

94, died at his home on May 23.Woods was the son of Arthur Woods

and Helen Morgan Woods and was born in New York City on Feb. 6, 1918. He was in the fifth graduating class of Brooks School and received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University.

He had a distinguished military career in the U.S. Naval Air Force and received a Distinguished Flying Cross for “hero-ism and extraordinary achievement in aerial flight.”

As a civilian, he flew for American

Airlines and served as an elected rep-resentative to the Connecticut General Assembly. His longest and last employ-ment was with the National Business Aircraft Association as operations and air traffic control director.

Upon his retirement in 1980, he bought a blue school bus, loaded all his possessions and dog into it and set out for Costa Rica where he lived for seven years. When he returned to the U.S. he bought a house in Harpswell and happily spent the rest of his days there.

During his retirement he became an avid runner and competed in many

marathons. He became a master swim-mer and set world age group records into his 90s. He spoke Spanish, French, German and Chinese fluently, played guitar and took great pleasure in taking young athletes under his wing.

Woods is survived by his daughters Julie and her husband, David McCar-thy, Josephine Woods, Elizabeth and her husband, Joe Blackmon, and Mary Cannon; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; devoted friend and caretaker, Christina Reynolds; and his neighbor, Dick Parks.

A celebration of his life will take place at the Captain Daniel Stone Inn on June 16 from 12-2 p.m.

80, died at his home on May 22 with his wife and family by his side.

He was a member of the Gardiner High School Class of 1949 and was the keeper of the Tiger mascot for recent class reunions. After gradua-tion he went on to Deerfield Academy and Bowdoin College, graduating in 1955.

After graduating college, Hazzard mar-ried his sweetheart, Anne Bates Purinton. He served in the U.S. Navy in Wash-ington, D.C. where they lived during his service. After he was discharged he continued his education at the Wharton School of Business and began a career in accounting and financial management in Boston.

Silverman’s Brunswick team-mate Ali Stankiewicz made it to the Round of 16 with wins over Cheverus’ Maria Cianchette (6-0, 6-0) and Caribou’s Carlee Pi-nette (6-1, 6-4), but was ousted by Falmouth’s Analise Kump, the No. 3 seed, 1-6, 1-6.

Mt. Ararat’s Sarah Hill beat Deer Isle-Stonington’s Esther Adams, 6-1, 6-0, in the first round, then lost to Leavitt, 2-6, 0-6.

event on town streets without police involvement would be illegal.

“It’s obviously a road hazard,” he said.Waltz said the decision to deny Reinke the permit

stemmed from a combination of factors, including the lack of a well-developed site plan that included adequate park-ing and bathrooms.

“The chief (of police) was also concerned about his lack of financial capacity to be able to pull off the race and pay all the vendors,” Waltz said. “Also, his website says that the registration is not refundable, and we don’t want to endorse a situation where the people could be losing their money after they pay a deposit.”

Reinke, however, said that one way or another, he will make the event happen.

“There are some key community leaders who we have follow-up discussions with scheduled for next week,” he said. “... We are keeping all options open, particularly in deference to the large number of runners who will be com-ing from outside of the area. But we fully intend to have the second annual Freeport Half Marathon.”

The meeting was the latest turn in an ongoing battle be-tween Reinke and a handful of local runners who say they

don’t trust him to stage a proper road race.Critics said Reinke’s company, Dean Reinke Sports, has

a track record that tends to leave unwary runners with more pain than a pulled hamstring.

Reinke, a 37-year veteran of the running scene, said his critics are a select group of self-serving competitors who are ignoring a long history of providing well-managed events across the country.

“We make a successful event, and then people say, ‘geez, we’ve got a successful event. Why do we need a guy from Florida?’” Reinke said. “In Freeport, we had a home run last year.”

Last year’s Freeport Half Marathon had no major inci-dents, and Kelly Edwards, of co-sponsor Freeport USA, said that she would be happy to see it return.

“Last year it went off without a hitch,” Edwards said. “It brings hundreds of runners and they bring their friends and families. It gives a boost to local businesses, the restaurants and hotels.”

But the Freeport Police Department, which provided security at the event, wasn’t happy with Reinke after he failed to pay a $1,300 bill, despite five notices sent over a period of months. Reinke has since paid the police, but critics said it was only a belated effort to pave the way for this year’s event.

A bill of $129 from the Brunswick Police Department remained unpaid as of a week ago, police said.

Freeport rejectionBrunswick became the battleground for the Freeport Half

Marathon after a May 2 vote by the Freeport Town Council denied Reinke an event permit.

Freeport Councilor James Hendricks said he was first made aware of the issue by Maine Marathon Director Howard Spear.

Spear’s warning caused Hendricks to research Reinke’s background. The search turned up an incident in Green-wood, S.C., where Reinke reportedly cancelled an event and refused to refund runners’ registration fees.

Hendricks that incident, coupled with negative comments in online forums and some complaints with the Better Busi-ness Bureau, suggested a pattern, and led him to call for a meeting with Reinke and Freeport police.

Reinke said that the negative comments are giving a skewed impression of a legitimate business enterprise.

“You can Google anybody and you can come up with

some dirt there,” he said. “I could probably Google you, and your newspaper.”

The Better Business Bureau reported 17 complaints against Reinke, 15 of which have gone without responses. The BBB gives Reinke a grade of F.

“I don’t give a lot of credibility to the BBB,” Reinke said. “Most of the complaints are about things I have no control over, or misperceptions. There’s a reason we’ve got 25,000 runners. We had 80 different meetings with cities wanting to explore bringing our services in.”

As for the refunds, Reinke said, his company’s policy is an industry standard.

“One of the things these guys are crying about is we don’t give refunds. When you run a race, there’s a no-refund policy,” he said.

Hendricks disagreed.“I would have given the money back,” he said. “It’s that

simple.”Ultimately, Hendricks was not satisfied with Reinke’s

explanations, which he said led him to bring the issue to the Freeport council.

Along with Spears, Topsham resident Mark Grandonico has been the other runner leading the charge against Rein-ke. Grandonico, a board member of the Roadrunners Club of America, said RRCA revoked Reinke’s membership in April, an action he called unusual.

Reinke hasn’t gone about things in the most responsible manner in Freeport, Grandonico said.

“The very first thing you do is go to the town and get permission,” he said. “What he did in Freeport was, he opened the event up before he secured a permit. So he’s been collecting people’s money.”

Registered runnersThe website promoting the half marathon continues to

advertise the event to runners and collect registration fees. Grandonico said he estimates that Reinke has collected fees from between 60 and 100 runners.

“It’s a decent number,” Reinke said. “We have literally runners from all over the country.”

Reinke said that he had a verbal agreement with the Freeport police, and a subsequent verbal agreement with the Brunswick police, which encouraged him to move forward with race plans.

“We’ve got permits and agreements right now,” he said before the Wednesday meeting. “Right now, everything’s cool as far as I’m concerned.”

Before the meeting, Waltz said that there was no agree-ment in place.

Reinke said that the responsibility for the Freeport event’s possible cancellation lies with Hendricks, Spears, and Grandonico.

“If these guys cause the event to not happen, then I’m going to put it back on them, to deal with all the runners,” he said. “I wish I was wealthy. If I had my own attorney, I could probably slap a lawsuit on these guys.”

Why warm water?From the FDA’s handbook on

proper handwashing for food ser-vice employees:

“Warm water is generally more comfortable than cold water and encourages handwashing for the recommended duration. The water temperature used in handwash-ing can also affect the solubility or emulsification of some soils. Warm water is more effective than cold water in removing fatty soils. An adequate flow of warm water will cause soap to lather and aid in flush-ing soil quickly from the hands.”

Is your restaurant in compliance?These restaurant restroom sink

water temperatures were recorded between April 19 and May 10. The state requires a minimum temperature of 110 degrees.

“If you’re an individual, you’re putting yourself at risk,” he said. “An employee who is handling food for hundreds of people is putting them all at risk.”

Restroom water temperature problems cropped up in at least two restaurants during their most recent state health inspections.

The Wendy’s in Brunswick was cited in August 2009, when state health inspector David Libby noted that the hand sink water only reached a temperature of 90 degrees. This was one of 13 violations cited, many of which had to do with employee hand-washing procedures.

In February 2012, state health inspector Joel Demers didn’t cite temperatures as a specific violation at the McDonald’s at 227 Route 1 in Falmouth, but he did document six other violations, including mold in the ice machine; in addition, he found that ice being used to cool milk containers was also being used for drinks.

Wash this wayOne thing that minimizes the chance of

fecal matter finding its way into your mouth is proper hand washing.

Sears said that, overall, technique and con-sistency are the most important components of washing. But he said having water at the proper temperature also plays a role.

“It’s easier for people to wash their hands at the proper temperatures,” Sears said. “It’s generally going to help get some of the soap off. Soap binds to bacteria and stuff like that.”

Hot water also softens both hands and dirt, which can play a big role, depending on what you’re cleaning off your hands.

“You do get a little more emollient activity on the hands with the soap,” Sears said. “Try an experiment and wash your hands with cold water, and you’ll see.”

Lisa Roy, the program manager for the state’s Health Inspection Program, said water temperature can also play a role in whether people use proper hand-washing techniques.

“If the water’s cold, people aren’t as likely to wash their hands as long as they’re sup-posed to,” she said.

This is important in the kitchen, but it’s especially important in the bathroom.

“When you’ve used the restroom, you have potentially contaminated your hands with bacteria,” Sears said. “Our colon and our genital areas have a larger percentage of bacteria on them, and you can potentially get them on your hands.”

There are no statistics that demonstrate how many illnesses are caused by improper hand washing.

Sears said it’s almost impossible to track bacteria-caused illnesses back to their source, given the large numbers of potential disease sources a person contacts.

“There are too many different variables,” he said.

For two of the last three years on record, Maine’s incidence rates for infectious dis-eases were higher than the national average.

Requirements unmetKeeping the water warm enough for effec-

tive hand washing isn’t just a way to prevent disease transmission. It’s the law.

Rebecca Walsh, senior program health manager, confirmed that state inspectors check the water temperatures when they visit restaurants.

She said that state law specifies the tem-perature for kitchen hand-washing stations.

Under the Maine food code, “a hand-washing lavatory shall be equipped to provide water at a temperature of at least 43

degrees Celsius (110 degrees Fahrenheit) through a mixing valve or combination faucet.”

“By extension, we require the same tem-peratures in the restrooms,” Walsh said.

Companies reactBetween April 19 and May 10, a reporter

visited 14 Burger King, Wendy’s and Mc-Donalds restaurants during times that ranged from early afternoon to early evening.

At each location, the water was turned to its maximum heat for a period of two minutes, after which the temperature was recorded with a kitchen thermometer that was calibrated with the help of staff at a local culinary arts teaching program.

Water temperatures were also measured at other fast-food restaurant chains that were not included in this report; they were found to be in compliance.

Reactions from the burger chains varied.Edie Lydick and her husband, George,

own two of the McDonald’s franchises that were identified as having water tempera-tures of approximately 104 degrees. When contacted early last week, Lydick initially said that she went to her restaurants to test the water temperatures and make sure that they were in compliance. She offered to meet with a reporter to demonstrate the level of compliance and how water temperatures are set and monitored.

Later in the week, Kristel Wagner, a public relations manager representing McDonald’s, said in an email that Lydick had instead decided that a prepared statement from the company would be a more appropriate re-sponse, as “it will include the most accurate information and will represent all of the restaurants involved,” including the locations owned by Lydick.

The prepared statement, by Sharon Hing-ley, operations manager at McDonald’s USA, said that the sinks are equipped to pro-vide the proper temperatures, and questioned the methodology used by The Forecaster.

“None of the restaurants targeted by The Forecaster have been cited by the health department for any issues concerning water temperature over the last year,” Hingley said. “Restroom sinks in the restaurants are equipped to provide water of at least 110 de-grees and results of The Forecaster’s samples could have been affected by sampling and handling procedures.”

Hingley said that the company would continue to do what it takes to protect public health.

“We will continue to work with our fran-chisees, their restaurant managers and the health department to ensure the continued operation of safe, clean restaurants,” she said.

The idea that McDonald’s restaurants haven’t been cited for hand-washing-related health concerns within the last 12 months is technically accurate, but misleading. Some of the restaurants have not been inspected at all within the last year.

Three of the six restaurants cited in the survey were last inspected in 2009 or 2010.

The most recent inspection for the Falmouth restaurant was in April 2009, when Libby, the Maine health inspector, reported that the hand sink water temperature was in violation, at just 89 degrees.

Wendy’s and Burger King representa-tives pledged to investigate claims that their restaurants were not in compliance with the state’s health codes.

Jason Gall owns 14 Wendy’s franchises in the area, including the four locations that were surveyed.

When contacted, he said he had not heard about the issue in the past, but that he planned to promptly address the low water temperature at the Brunswick restaurant.

He speculated that it could be a poorly functioning electric water heating system, or a needed repair that has gone undetected.

“Either way, there’s probably a way to fix it, and we’re going to find out,” he promised. “We’re not doing it to save money. Food safety is probably the number one thing in ... our stores.”

Two days later, Gall reported that the problem with the Brunswick location had been confirmed and addressed.

“In our efforts to assess the problem, we discovered a faulty mixing valve in the water line servicing the bathroom sinks,” he wrote in an email. “The valve has been replaced and our latest reading in the bathroom sinks registered 113 degrees.”

Denny Lynch, senior vice president of communications at Wendy’s, noted that the water temperatures are unlikely to be constant.

“What you’ve seen is just a snapshot. It might be the case that you could have gone in there an hour earlier, and the temperature would have been fine,” Lynch said.

Kristen Hauser, a spokeswoman for a marketing firm that represents Burger King, said that the company was beginning an investigation.

“Please be assured that the health and safety of our guests is a priority for Burger King Corp., and the company is currently looking into the matter,” she said on Mon-day, May 15.

On Friday, May 19, Hauser said that local locations had been contacted to ensure that they were in compliance with state require-ments.

Roy said that, in response to The Fore-caster’s survey, the state’s Health Inspection Program would facilitate added education for the restaurants that aren’t in compliance.

“We want to be proactive and do some education,” she said. “If this is what you’re finding, we definitely want to do some education.”

Typically, Roy said, inspectors will not fail a restaurant for cold water. But they do document the violation; in some cases, the restaurant might be fined for a package of violations that includes low restroom faucet temperatures.

Laws relaxingA team of 11 state health inspectors are

responsible for every restaurant in the state, in addition to various other types of busi-nesses, such as tattoo parlors.

Each inspector is responsible for hundreds of businesses, and the program struggles to stay on top of inspections.

Faced with the challenge of enforcing health requirements in restaurants, the state in some cases is instead relaxing the laws.

Maine state lawmakers recently changed a requirement that restaurants be inspected every year; instead, the goal is now to visit each establishment once every two years.

In addition, the temperature requirement of 110 degrees may also be relaxed to 100 degrees, which would match the federal requirements of the Food and Drug Admin-istration laid out in the 2009 Federal Food Code.

“In the new proposed rules it’s going to be dropped to 100 (degrees),” Roy said. “They’re being proposed as we speak, and we’re going to be having a public hearing on them.”

In Hauser’s statement on behalf of Burger King Corp., she said that it is in compliance with those federal standards, if not those of the state.

“The health and safety of our restaurant guests is a top priority for BKC. Our food and safety standards are in-line with the latest FDA food code, requiring water used in hand-washing sinks to be at 100F,” she said. “The restaurants in question have been recently inspected and have met FDA requirements. As Maine standards are above those required by the FDA, BKC is currently working to meet local guidelines.”

However, four of 14 restaurants in The Forecaster survey were found not to be meeting even that relaxed standard of 100 degrees.

Lighthousefrom page 1


The history of Halfway Rock, located halfway between Cape Elizabeth and Cape Small, is long and colorful, char-acterized by men with salt-soaked souls capable of enduring the endless hours of tedium punctuated by terrifying weather events.

“It was always there,” local literary luminary Robert P. T. Coffin wrote in 1946, as cited by Jeremy D’Entremont on his website, lighthouse.cc. “When I turned my head on my pillow as a child, in my little bedroom under the giant elm, in our sea-captain’s house in Penneville, I could see it blinking away out at the head of Casco Bay. ... That lighthouse

went right with me to the edge of sleep.”According to lighthouse enthusiast

Kraig Anderson, locals first began agitat-ing for a lighthouse in 1835, when Capt. George Small of Bath was swept over-board after being grounded on the rock where the lighthouse now sits. It took 36 years and another shipwreck tragedy be-fore $60,000 in funds were successfully leveraged to erect the lighthouse.

The so-called “Perfect Storm” of 1991 destroyed the station’s marine railway. Other storms have taken other structures, including a 43-foot tower designed to hold a massive, 1,000-pound fog bell.

In between, published reports from

former lighthouse keepers have told of passing the time by counting the dimples on a basketball, or tracking the number of flies killed each day, according to D’Entremont.

At least one keeper was removed by authorities based on a belief that he had been driven insane by the isolation of the post.

In 1975, the light was replaced with an automated, solar-powered lighting system.

The American Lighthouse Foundation has held a license as a tenant of Halfway Rock since 2000.

mantic appeal of America’s lighthouses.“Lighthouses are important as far as the

maritime history of the United States,” Johnson said. “They’re definitely a symbol of that history. They lend a lot of character to many coastal states.”

In order to be considered, parties must submit a letter of interest to the General Services Administration of the U.S. gov-ernment by July 16, which will mark the close of a 60-day window.

Then, representatives from all qualify-ing entities will be allowed to inspect the property, which today includes a 76-foot, white granite tower with living quarters, an iron dome-shaped top, and an attached boathouse.

Terri-Lynn Sawyer, deputy administra-tor for the town of Harpswell, said the town has been notified of the lighthouse’s availability, and that the Board of Select-men would make a determination about whether to try to acquire it.

“We intend to announce that at the May 31 meeting and look for direction, if there was any interest from the board, to pursue that on behalf of the town of Harpswell,” Sawyer said.

According to Meta Cushing of the GSA, a successful transfer of the prop-erty would be the ninth in Maine since the government began actively convey-

nonprofit is approved.Moose Peak Light Station, a lighthouse

on Mistake Island in Washington County, failed to attract qualified nonprofits last year; on June 4, minimum bids of $10,000 will be accepted by the GSA.

Commercial activities at the Halfway Rock lighthouse are prohibited, unless special permission is granted by the sec-retary of the Department of the Interior.

ing lighthouses to responsible stewards under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000.

Nationwide, 85 lighthouses have been deeded from the U.S. Coast Guard to other entities through the program.

Of the eight that have been transferred in Maine, five have been granted to qualifying stewards, while three have been sold.

The numbers mark progress in an effort to see more of Maine’s 67 lighthouses transfer from the Coast Guard into the hands of groups that are willing and able

to support them with the funds and care needed to preserve their character.

Most recently, in 2011, the Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse off the coast of Cape Elizabeth was sold for $190,000 after a bidding war drove the price up from the qualifying bid of $10,000.

GSA officials said that they anticipated that at least one or two qualified non-profit agencies would emerge; the prop-erty will only go to bid if no qualifying
