By William HallPORTLAND — Five East Bayside

professional artists have begun work on some unusual “canvases” — chain-link fences.

Fastening recycled goods to the links of gritty metal fencing, the art-ists will depict scenes that relate to the history and life of their neighbor-hood.

The artists have been commis-sioned to create four murals, together titled “Good Fences for Good Neigh-bors,” for the Meeting Place East Bayside Neighborhood Celebration, a

community open house that will fea-ture art, music, food and recreation on Sept. 29.

The murals will be completed over the next few weeks, and will range from 40 to 60 feet long.

Artist Kelly Rioux began work on her mural, “East Bayside Portraits,” last week along a stretch of wire fence on Fox Street. Composed of short strips of the construction mate-rial Tyvek donated by Rufus Deering Lumber Co., the mural will portray the faces of neighborhood children.

Each Tyvek strip is tied through

a link of the fence, creating dabs of color that Rioux compared to pixels on a TV or computer screen.

She said her mural will include up to five portraits, with a total of as many as 5,000 such pixels.

“I work in portraiture a lot ... and the only way I knew to cre-ate a portrait, working with these materials, was to break it down into pixels,” said Rioux, a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Homer traveled the world in search of inspiration for his art.

And he found plenty along the rocky shores of Scarborough, working in a converted carriage house on Prout’s Neck that will be opened to public tours begin-ning Sept. 25.

‘We want an authentic ex-

perience. We want people to come here and get a sense of who Homer was,” said Kristen Levesque, director of marketing and public relations at the Port-land Museum of Art.

Levesque said Homer would wander Prout’s Neck and sketch scenes, but finshed his work in-doors and lived nearly year round in the studio. Much of the work

competed at the studio captures seas roiling over rocks to a view from the shore looking up to the fog-bound studio.

Through a $10.5 million capi-tal campaign, the museum was able to buy the property in 2006. It spent $2.8 million to restore the 2,300-square-foot, two-story

Inspections aim to reduce risk in commercial fishing industryBy Will Graff

PORTLAND — Commercial fishing and Maine are synonymous.

Lobsters are printed on T-shirts, tourism bro-chures and plastered on the bumpers of cars. The industry has special government boards dedicated to it and monuments have been built to glorify the profession. It’s woven into the fab-ric of the state.

It’s also one of the deadliest professions in Maine and in the nation.

Of the more than ha l f a million work-ers in Maine, 15 percent of the total work-place deaths in the last decade came from just 2,000 people working in the state’s commer-cial fishing industry.

According to the National Institute of Occu-pational Safety and Health Commercial Fishing Incident Database, 36 people were killed in 26 separate incidents while fishing commercially off Maine’s coast from 2000-2011. Of the total deaths, 27 were caused by vessel disasters, usually induced by flooding. And a third of the deaths occurred in the lobster fleet.

It’s the same story in the region.A recent report by the Center for Public In-

tegrity, Boston public radio station WBUR and

By William HallPORTLAND — City Councilor Kevin

Donoghue met with Munjoy Hill resi-dents last week to get their input on new designs for park and playground con-struction at the former Marada Adams Elementary School.

At an Aug. 28 meeting, residents discussed equipment and landscaping options with Donoghue, city staff and representatives from Avesta Housing.

Avesta is a nonprofit agency that is developing the three-quarter-acre site, which is bordered by Moody, Munjoy,Vesper and Wilson streets.

The $5.5 million development will

include 16 affordable two- and three-bedroom condominiums, as well as the park and playground. Construction will break ground at a ceremony on Sept. 13, and the project is expected to be com-pleted next spring.

When it is, it will likely include mon-key bars. That was the strong recom-mendation of residents who spoke at last week’s meeting, including a 9-year-old girl.

Earlier plans for the site’s playground had called for removing an existing set

of monkey bars. At the meeting, project landscape architect Regina Leonard pre-sented a range of alternatives in response to public feedback.

“We heard you,” she said.Donoghue said that all the alternatives

were feasible, and that he was eager to hear what residents wanted. “These choices aren’t pie in the sky, they’re pie on the table,” he said.

At the end of the discussion, recycling the existing monkey bars — perhaps in combination with a new, horizontal lad-der — was the clear preference.

The only challenge is that including such large pieces of playground equip-ment may require scaling back others. For example, Leonard said, the final de-

By William HallPORTLAND — Snow removal will be

one of the agenda topics when the City Council meets Wednesday night.

The council will again pick up a pro-posed city code amendment, which would result in rules spelling out exceptions to the requirement for residential property owners to clear abutting sidewalks from snow and ice.

At its Aug. 6 meeting, the council dead-locked 4-4 in a vote to pass the amend-ment, requiring it to be tabled until this

week's meeting.If passed, the amendment would direct

the Department of Public Works to define exceptions to the snow removal rules by Oct. 1. The amendment would also provide an appeal process for property owners who are cited for violating the rules.

At the Aug. 6 meeting, councilors noted that Public Works uses discretion in enforc-ing the existing rules, and can extend the time allowed for clearing sidewalks when

snowfall is unusually heavy or difficult to remove.

Councilor Edward Suslovic called the amendment "a solution in search of a problem."

Also on Wednesday's agenda are changes to a proposal that would ban smoking in city parks.

On July 19, the council's Public Safety, Health and Human Services Commit-tee unanimously approved the proposal, which includes a list of parks and public places where smoking would be prohibited.

Changes are now being proposed to elimi-nate places on the list where a ban would be redundant or impractical to enforce.

Portland already prohibits smoking near playgrounds, athletic fields and beaches, as well as in outdoor seating areas of restau-rants before 10 p.m.

If the council approves the changes, the proposal would be returned to the commit-tee for further review and consideration.

Portland schools to add 2 Central Office administratorsBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — The School Board last week unanimously approved adding two administrative positions to the Central Of-fice.

Newly hired Superintendent of Schools Emmanuel Caulk called the two positions critical and said they will help the School Department be responsive to students, par-ents and businesses.

“What we're looking at is our organiza-tion as it is, but we're also looking at it from a lens as it should be,” he said. “(These positions are a) strategic way to engage our families to support our schools.”

A deputy chief of shared accountability would monitor whether the district is on track with its goals using concrete data on student achievement. Funding for the $102,500 salary will come from the elimi-nation of two other administrative positions: humanities curriculum director and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curriculum coordinator.

The other position, coordinator of parent and community engagement, would work to involve parents in decisions by looking

at data and strategies, but also looking at aligning the budget with academic and non-academic resources to increase student achievement. Grant money from the Nellie Mae Foundation will support the $82,500 salary.

“These two positions were really some of the foundational pieces of why I was in support of hiring Mr. Caulk,” District 5 representative Marnie Morrione said. “In the past — this will be my fourth year — when we asked why we were making a certain decision, we were often given blank stares and/or 'we'll get back to you.' Making decisions based on data is so critical and so fundamental to going out into the public (and telling them) why something was de-cided on. If we don't have data to support it, we're really grasping at straws.”

Mark Usinger, whose son is a student at Deering High School, said that while he

supports parent engagement, administra-tors are not the ones who are educating and molding his son into the person that he is going to be. He said that there is not endless money in the pockets of Portland's

citizens for more high-level administrators in the district.

Hiring recommendations for the two positions are expected by the end of the month.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

Smoking, snow removal on City Council agenda

By Whit RichardsonBangor Daily News

PORTLAND — The union that repre-sents dock workers at East Coast ports, including Portland’s, is threatening to strike if it’s not successful in renegotiat-ing its contract with port operators.

A strike could impact several Maine businesses and produce a ripple effect throughout the state’s economy.

The recent round of negotiations be-tween the International Longshoremen’s Association and the U.S. Maritime Alli-ance, which represents container carriers and port operators in the negotiations — including Port Americas, which operates the Portland Marine Terminal — broke down last week. No new talks are sched-uled, both sides told the Associated Press. The current contract expires at the end of September.

Meanwhile, the ILA chapter at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the East Coast’s busiest port, authorized a strike on Tuesday if the contract deal isn’t

reached, according to the AP.The Portland Marine Terminal handles

between 3,000 and 5,000 containers a year, on average, Jack Humeniuk, the ILA’s representative in Portland and an employee of Port Americas, told the Ban-gor Daily News. There are 45 members in Portland’s ILA chapter, he said.

But it’s not just a disruption of con-tainer service in Portland that would impact Maine businesses. A strike at ports in New York, Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other East Coast ports would disrupt the entire nation’s supply chain and create a ripple effect through-out the economy.

If the ILA workers strike, “the worst-case scenario” for Maine businesses, Humeniuk said, “is they’d have to move their stuff through the West Coast.”

The contract in question is a master agreement on container service, so it won’t impact the noncontainerized cargo that moves in and out of Maine, such as wood pulp and lumber and fuel, Hu-

meniuk said.For those Maine businesses that do

receive and ship cargo by container — L.L. Bean, Sappi Fine Paper and White Rock Distilleries — a strike at East Coast ports would disrupt their supply chain and force them to seek alternative routes.

L.L. Bean is “a considerable user” of Portland’s container service, Carolyn Beem, a spokeswoman for the Freeport retailer, told the BDN. “It’s a big part of the mix for us,” she said. “In terms of the looming strikes we are looking at contingency planning and routing more to the West Coast.”

The worst-case scenario would be moving merchandise by air freight, Beem said. “That’s just ridiculous with the costs associated with that.”

Another user of Portland’s container service is White Rock Distilleries, the Lewiston liquor company purchased last year by Beam Inc., the producer of Jim Beam bourbon. It receives raw vodka from France at its Lewiston facility and ships out cases of Pinnacle brand vodka.

“We’re definitely monitoring the situation,” said Paula Erickson, a spokes-

woman for Beam Inc., “and we definitely have contingency plans in place if some-thing should occur in terms of a strike or disruption at the ports.”

Shifting supply chains and seeking al-ternative shipping routes would increase costs for White Rock, which employs more than 150 people, but that would be a secondary consideration, Erickson said. The company’s “No. 1 priority” would be to ensure 100 percent uninterrupted pro-duction and shipment of the company’s product.

Sappi’s paper mill in Westbrook is also looking at its options if dock workers strike. “We are aware of a potential long-shoreman strike and we are working with our supply chain partners to minimize or avoid any service disruptions through strategic contingency plans,” said Joanna Rieke, Sappi’s manager of corporate communications.

It’s not just Maine’s largest shippers that would be affected. A strike at East Coast ports would be felt throughout Maine’s economy as products get backed up at overburdened West Coast ports and the entire supply chain slows.

“As it goes further down the supply chain it starts to have an impact on ev-erybody,” L.L. Bean’s Beem said.

For all Maine retailers, a prolonged strike could spell trouble, according to Curtis Picard, executive director of the Maine Merchants Association, especially since it would occur just as stores begin

structure, and created an endowment for exhibitions and care of the building.

Scarborough tax records show the mu-seum bought the property — just over 1/10th of an acre — for $1.8 million.

Homer’s studio was listed on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places in 1966, and is tucked into an area his family bought in the mid-1880s and hoped to develop as an artist’s colony.

By then, Homer was approaching 50 and known for his magazine illustrations from the Civil War, and oil or watercolor landscapes.

Before making Scarborough his perma-nent home, Homer lived in Cullercoats, a North Sea town in the United Kingdom. Levesque said Homer continued to travel

DaviD Harry / THe ForecasTerAbove, Winslow Homer’s furniture, fishing gear and china painted by his mother are among

artifacts visitors to his restored Prout’s Neck studio will see during tours this fall and next spring. The $2.8 million studio restoration commissioned by the Portland Museum of Art took six years

to complete. The museum has owned the studio for more than six years, its restoration was funded through a $10.5 million capital campaign that was also used to establish an endowment fund.

Homer on display

To help celebrate the opening of the Homer studio at Prout’s Neck, the Portland Museum of Art, which owns more than 400 of Winslow Homer’s works, will feature 35 oils and water-colors on loan from museums around the country in a exhibi-tion called “Weatherbeaten: Winslow Homer and Maine.” The exhibition will run Sept. 22-Dec. 30 at the museum, 7 Congress Square, Portland.

Melville D. McleanWinslow Homer painted “Weatherbeaten” in 1894. The oil on canvas at the Portland

Museum of Art is a bequest of Charles Shipman Payson.

Winslow Homer sketched outdoors and finshed his work indoors, left, in downstairs rooms of a converted carriage house on Prout’s Neck. The John Calvin Stevens-designed studio, center, will be open for limited tours starting at the Portland Museum of Art beginning Sept. 22. The view from the

restored piazza, right, extends out to sea and down the coast past Saco and Old Orchard Beach.

Fishingfrom page 1


National Public Radio, found that from 2000 to 2009, people working in the groundfish fishery off New England and New York were 37 times more likely to die on the job as a police officer.

A 2010 report from NIOSH shows that from 2000-2009, 165 commercial fishermen were killed while fishing off the East Coast, making the region more deadly than Alaska, which had 133 deaths.

Despite these high death rates, gov-ernment and industry have been slow to enact regulations that address the dangers of the commercial fishing.

But now, a new federal law that goes into effect Oct. 16 may help stem that grim tide, U.S. Coast Guard officials hope.

For the first time, commercial fishing vessels that operate three or more miles from the coast will be required to under-go a dockside examination by the Coast

Guard. Changes to the standards those boats have to meet in the examinations are being developed, but will likely not be implemented for another few years.

This is the first action to come from the U.S. Coast Guard Reauthorization Act of 2010. Up until now, these examinations have been voluntary.

Kevin Plowman, a Coast Guard inspec-tor in Maine, estimated that of 2,400 vessels that fall under the new law, only about 20 percent of the fleet is currently examined.

Plowman said although the exams do not impose any new regulations, he thinks they will help improve safety for commercial fishermen.

“It certainly is a step in the right direc-tion,” he said. “What we want to know is, do you have the equipment to survive if something happens? We look at it a partnership with the fishermen.”

Besides Plowman, there is only one of the inspector for the Coast Guard’s 1st District, which covers Maine and part of New Hampshire. Although another inspector is expected this fall, Plowman

admitted it will be difficult to get all the inspections done before Oct. 16.

“Can you do 2,000 exams in a month and a half?,” he said. “No, but we’re go-ing to do the best we can.”

The Coast Guard can board a vessel at any time three or more miles out from shore, Plowman said, but they look only for proper safety equipment, such as flares and life jackets, not necessarily at the integrity of the boat.

“If you do it dockside, its easier to complete the exam than if you get board-ed out there by the Coast Guard,” he said. “All your stuff is in order already and you don’t have to worry about it.”

Under current federal law, fishing ves-sels must carry an emergency position-indicating radio, known as EPIRB; a lifeboat or life float; a flare kit; life jackets or immersion suits; a ring buoy; a fire extinguisher; a sound producing device and running lights. The at-sea

inspections by the Coast Guard for such equipment, described as “voluntary,” will now become mandatory.

Elliot Thomas, a lobstermen from Yarmouth and board member of the Maine Lobster Fishing Safety Council, has been having the dockside inspections for years.

“The exam showed me down to where things will chafe,” he said. “They do a re-markably fine job of getting people going. They actually work with you to make sure everything is ready to go.”

He said that it goes beyond what some-one might think of in terms of immediate safety needs — for example, showing how the routing of a wire might be im-proved.

Recommendations, realities Jennifer Lincoln, director of the

NIOSH Alaska Pacific Office and chief of the agency’s Commercial Fishing Safety Research and Design Program, said there are three key steps that can be taken to improve safety for people who fish com-mercially.

By William HallPORTLAND — Nearly 100 people

turned out Thursday night at a meeting to tell a state commission how elections can be improved in Maine.

The five-member commission, ap-pointed in May by Secretary of State Charles Summers, is studying how the state can better conduct elections and increase voter participation. As part of its fact-finding, the commission is hold-ing public hearings throughout the state.

Thursday’s meeting at the Portland Public Library was the second such hear-ing, coming a week after one in Augusta. Hearings also are planned for Bangor, Farmington, Lewiston, Wells, Presque Isle and Machias.

The hearing took place as issues around voter registration become increas-ingly controversial throughout the nation.

Just hours before the meeting, a federal court ruled that Texas may not enforce a state law requiring identification for vot-ers. The court said the law would have the effect of barring poor and minority voters from voting.

And on Wednesday, a Florida law re-stricting the right of civic groups to con-duct voter registration was struck down in federal court.

Earlier this year, the Maine Legislature

considered a law requiring voters to pres-ent photo identification. The requirement was ultimately replaced with a directive for the secretary of state to explore ways of improving the conduct of elections. The commission — and Thursday night’s hearing — are results of that directive.

A mix of residents and local officials spoke to the commission for more than an hour.

“Voting rights are under assault all across the United States,” said Herbert Adams, a professor at Southern Maine Community College and former state representative for the city’s East Bayside and Parkside neighborhoods, who is run-ning to reclaim the District 119 seat in November.

But Adams, like several of the speak-ers, applauded the state for its record in

conducting elections. Voter turnout in Maine is one of the highest in the nation, he said.

In the 2008 presidential election, 72 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot, according to the secretary of state’s office — the third-highest turnout in the nation.

And in nearly 40 years, Maine has recorded only two cases of voter fraud, Adams said, suggesting that tough reg-istration requirements such as photo IDs are needless.

Eliza Townsend, another former state legislator and currently the executive director of the Maine Women’s Lobby, told the commission a story of a house-bound senior citizen, “Ruth,” who would

not have been able to vote under the proposed registration law because she doesn’t have the money or means to ob-tain a photo ID.

“That’s not realistic for her, and that’s not fair,” Townsend said.

State Sen. Richard Woodbury, U-Yar-mouth, told the commission that “Maine should be commended” for its election process.

He praised the “sense of camaraderie, community and civic duty” he said he experiences at voting places each elec-tion day.

The commission’s chairman, former Superior Court Judge John Atwood, ques-tioned Woodbury about the practice of politicians greeting voters near the polls.

Maine mayors protest plan to limit MedicaidBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Mayor Michael Bren-nan and mayors of five other Maine cities have formally protested to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about the state's attempt to eliminate Medicaid coverage for more than 26,000 low-income residents.

"The elimination of insurance cover-age for thousands of Maine people, particularly during this time of reces-sion, presents significant hardships not just to the families affected but also to the municipalities in which they reside,"

said the letter signed by Brennan and the mayors of South Portland, Biddeford, Saco, Waterville and Westbrook.

This spring, the Legislature passed a budget proposed by Gov. Paul LePage that was based on cuts to MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program.

If enacted, the cuts would save the state $20 million by eliminating cover-age for 21,000 low-income parents and 19- and 20-year-olds, as well as 5,300 seniors and people with disabilities.

The cuts would require Maine to re-ceive a waiver of federal standards for

Medicaid eligibility — a waiver that has not been granted to any state.

But the LePage administration has argued that in upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obamacare," the U.S. Supreme Court made some eligibility requirements void.

The governor has submitted his Main-eCare plan to HHS for approval, but the federal agency may not respond until the end of October, according to reports published Friday. The eligibility cuts are scheduled to take effect Oct. 1.

Meanwhile, Brennan and his fellow mayors claim that Maine is still bound by law to maintain eligibility for Med-

icaid recipients.“While the focus of this debate has

been in Washington D.C. and at the Statehouse, it is important to note that it’s the cities and towns of Maine that will have to bear the burden and address the impact on the health and lives of our residents,” Brennan said in a written statement.

“We represent the front line and the costs associated with these cuts will be paid for by our residents, our hospitals and our businesses whether through in-creases in charitable care, rising health insurance premiums or by taxing our safety net with more families turning to City Hall for help.”

Man accused of leaving woman unconscious after assaultBy Ryan McLaughlinBangor Daily News

PORTLAND — A Scarborough man who allegedly assaulted a woman and then left her injured in the street is facing felony charges, according to police.

Police went to Mont-gomery Street around 3 a.m. Thursday and found the victim ly-ing unconscious in the street, according to a news release from As-sistant Police Chief Vernon Malloch.

Witnesses led police to Eric Gwaro, 28, according to the release. He attempted to elude police, but was captured in Pep-permint Park on Cumberland Avenue, the release stated.

Gwaro was booked into the Cumberland County Jail on a Class B felony charge of aggravated assault.

The woman suffered facial and skull fractures and was admitted to Maine Medi-cal Center in Portland. Due to the extent of her injuries, police have yet to interview her.

Gwaro’s bail was set at $10,000 cash. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the Portland Police Department at 874-8533.

A PROUD MEMBER OF

Portland has a sign language all its ownI always wanted to live on a lake, thanks to memo-

ries of visiting my grandparents’ cottage in northern Michigan.

My first sight was the lake, a sheet of glass with a mist hovering a few feet above. It was like waking up in an enchanted forest – on a backbreaking surplus Ma-rine Corps cot, in a drafty cinder block cabin with no indoor plumbing and inadequate screening – be-cause as a Midwesterner, I had no business enjoying something that someone else may have missed, and as a Protestant, even my fantasies were filled with mosquitoes.

Despite being unable to enjoy it fully, the fan-tasy hung around in the background until last fall when some friends made it a reality. They asked us if we would do them “the favor” of staying in their beautiful lake house for the winter. Do them a favor? Lemmethinkaboutityes! Autumn was delightful. We had the still water and hovering mists, but not the insects. Indoor plumbing. It was five months of living the dream without having to buy the dream.

Getting Elizabeth to school every morning was a little more time consuming, although it was a nice change from driving the same stretch of outer Congress Street. I was weary of seeing the same strip malls and gas sta-tions every day, not to mention trying to resist the siren song of Tony’s Donuts.

There would have been more time to engage with my daughter, except for the unspoken rule Elizabeth and I have developed about conversation in the car. I don’t speak, and that’s the rule. The longer silence, coupled with increased stop-and-go traffic on the new route, gave me a chance to observe the route, and I found myself increasingly drawn to the signage on the various busi-nesses. An earlier contribution to these pages suggested how a few intriguing local businesses contribute to Portland’s unique personality. A completely unscientific study of how some of them choose to draw attention to themselves, undertaken from my car window on the way to my daughter’s school, confirms that unique character.

The main thing, no pun intended, is how un-corporate Portland is. I’m sure the long-time Mainers would dis-agree, but they’ve never lived in southern California.

L.A. is all about branding. On Ventura Boulevard, a car wash would either have an enormous sign conceived and executed by an out-of-work Disney animator, or a three-story tall pole dancer holding a sponge. You may run off the road, but you won’t forget it’s a car wash. Here’s what you won’t see: a smallish generic movable letter sign like one I saw on one of the lesser business

streets. It carried the almost cryptic message, “Salt Eats Cars” with a hand drawn monster face poised over the word “Cars” like a Pac-Man with teeth.

What really got me about this place though – and I’m sure it was just an accident of timing – was that the sign always seemed to say, “Salt Eats Cars – Car Wash Closed,” as if the owners were saying, “Sure, we could wash your car. Washing your car is no problem. But the salt will get you eventually, so, what’s the point?”

I’m probably reading all this into the message, and I was simply driving by before they opened, but maybe, just maybe, this sign is brilliant advertising. It doesn’t fit the Western marketing model. Instead, it takes a Zen approach. By making it a challenge to find out when they are open, the business insures a customer base that truly wants their cars washed. It makes sense if you think about it, but not too much.

Another sign I love is the one with the dog drinking out of a stein. A picture is worth a thousand words. Portland is a dog-friendly city. I applaud that. You can feel comfortable bringing your dog into the club. The Snug on Munjoy Hill usually has several dogs roam-ing around. It gives the place a homey feel. I don’t go to bars much, but I like the thought of my local joint

GOP convention showed Romney at his bestIt seemed like forces were conspiring against the

Republican national convention last week.The media was playing up Todd Aiken’s immoder-

ate remarks. Ron Paul’s supporters were threatening to broker or boycott the convention. And Hurricane Isaac was depositing rains of biblical proportions on the Gulf Coast.

But the Romney cam-paign did not panic. It remained resolute and stayed the course. It kept focused on the people, principles and policies that distinguish the Republican agenda.

It began when Mitt Rom-ney chose Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate. In doing so, Romney made a decision not to make some sort of appeal for votes from those in the middle of the political spectrum. He elected to sharpen the ideological divide between himself and the president.

The convention was crafted to illustrate that divide with speakers who personified the American Dream: that with hard work you can start from humble origins and build a business, become a congressman, a gover-nor, a stateswoman, even president. They gave eloquent testimony about the goodness of Romney as a person, and the virtues of the policies he proposes for America.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley introduced her-self as the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who came to America, started a business, and built it into a multimillion-dollar company. As governor, she worked to encourage private enterprise, like Boeing, to come to her state. But it wasn’t easy, because the Obama admin-istration fought her. She explained that as president, Mitt Romney would support business, not oppose, business development.

Ann Romney told the audience how her husband is a hard-working businessman who will work hard to restore American prosperity. He was not handed suc-cess on a silver platter. He did not go into the family business. He built his own with hard work.

Romney is a good Samaritan. He quietly helps his neighbors, a friend in trouble or a parent whose child is in the hospital. He saved the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Guided Massachusetts out of economic cri-sis. Ann Romney explained that he is modest about his good works because he doesn’t do them to win political points; he does them because helping others is its own reward.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke of how his parents raised themselves up from poverty. How he gets his own plain-spoken bluntness from his mother, who was the family enforcer. She taught him that it was better to be respected than loved, because love without respect is fleeting, while respect can grow into real and lasting love.

Christie delivered the tough-love truth about the dif-ference between Democrats and Republicans: Demo-crats believe that people cannot solve their problems themselves, that they need government to do it for them. Republicans believe that we can fix our own problems with good values and leadership. In New Jersey, he inherited a history of raising taxes and an $11 billion dollar deficit. People said that it would be impossible, but Christie balanced the budget and lowered taxes.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee noted that in addition to the at least 13 percent of income that Mitt Romney pays in taxes, he gives 16 percent to charity and his church. Huckabee pointed out that for years, Vice President Joe Biden gave less than 2/10s of 1 percent to charity.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice observed that the Arab Spring is proof that the desire for freedom is universal. She argued that the world is a better place when America clearly and unambiguously stands for freedom and opportunity. It is a more dangerous and chaotic place when, as now, friends and foes don’t know where America stands.

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez emphasized that success is not something to be ashamed of or demon-ized – it should be celebrated. She explained how a little girl from a border town grew up to be the first Hispanic woman governor of a state. Her parents started a security guard business with nothing and grew it into a small business that employed 125 employees in three states. She went to law school, became a prosecutor, then the district attorney, then governor. As governor, she inherited the largest structural deficit in state history,

but turned it into a surplus.Former Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healy recalled

how as governor, Mitt Romney assembled a cabinet of the best and the brightest men and women, Republicans and Democrats. He cut taxes, improved education, and turned around a $3 billion deficit.

Ryan, Romney's running mate, pointed out that the president has been in power for almost four years. Rather than use that power to make job creation his first order of business, he borrowed and wasted trillions of dollars on government programs like the stimulus and government-controlled health care. As a result, 23 mil-lion Americans are struggling to find work. Instead of accepting responsibility for that failure, Obama contin-ues to blame the prior administration.

Ryan promised that he and Romney will not duck the tough issues. They will take responsibility, reapply our country’s founding principles, limit federal spending to 20 percent of GDP or less, reform taxes and regulations, generate 12 million new jobs, and get the economy growing.

Romney and Obama are both decent, honorable men. But they personify very different experiences of, and visions for, America. They provide us with a very real choice in November. The president puts his faith in government: the stimulus, bank bailout, bailout for Detroit, cash for clunkers, mortgage restructuring, and government mandated health care.

Romney puts his faith in people’s ability to provide for themselves.

not saying it’s beer. For all I know, beer is good for dogs. I’m not implying any irresponsibility at all, but it’s a human beer stein. I have two dogs, I don’t even like it when they lick my face, because I’ve seen some of the places they go. So, I love the sign.

William James can take Ayn Rand any dayWhile vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul

Ryan was reading Ayn Rand, I was reading Wil-liam James.

Well, not at the same time, but just as Ryan’s young mind was receptive to and formed by Rand’s absolutist philosophy of self-interest, James’ New England philosophy of radical empiri-cism made more sense to me than anything else I read as a college student and it informs my thinking to this day.

I read Ayn Rand when I was a student and found her black-and-white thinking simplistic. What attracted me to the writings of William James was the way he was able to handle the shades of gray that color most of experi-ence.

The fundamental philosophical dilemma that James helped me work my way through was how, in all intellectual honesty, I could profess a belief in Christianity given that my most profound perception of life is that no one is in possession of the truth. Anyone who claims to know the mean-ing of life or the mind of the Creator, be she a theoretical physicist or a metaphysical preacher, is deluded, a charlatan, or both.

So my starting point is always this: we are all ultimately clueless. Given this one simple truth, how then do we live a meaningful life?

Some folks seem to believe that God is neces-sary for a moral universe, that it is only our fear of God and eternal damnation that keeps us from living like barbarians. I don’t believe that at all. It seems to me that a code of human compassion and moral behavior would be even more necessary in a godless universe. We’re all in the same boat (or whirling through space on the same mysterious planet) without any clue where we are going or why, so let’s do what we can to take care of one another.

Before I read William James, I read Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. "The Stranger" is still my all-time favorite novel and I certainly under-stood the existentialists’ sense of the absurd, the meaninglessness of existence. But I still wanted to believe in the loving God of my Congregational upbringing and William James’ pragmatic philoso-phy helped me do so.

“Grant an idea to be true, what concrete differ-ence will its being true make in any one’s life?” James asks. “How will the truth be realized? ... What, in short, is the truth’s cash value in experien-tial terms?”

If I believe in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ will my life be better than if I do not? I be-lieve so. That’s why I fight through my doubts and try to live into the Christ story, a story of forgive-ness and selflessness.

“Believe, and you shall be right, for you shall save yourself; doubt, and you shall again be right, for you shall perish,” writes James. “The only dif-ference is that to believe is greatly to your advan-tage.”

James proposed that “Truth happens to an idea. It becomes true, is made true by events.”

Truth then is relative. There is no objective reality, no absolute truth. We all know this in our bones, but we have a hard time accepting it in our minds. True ideas are just those that get us into better relationships with experience and with one another. My old philosophy professor Bill Gavin, a James scholar and a philosopher in the American process tradition, would probably shudder at my corrupted interpretation of the great man’s thought, but, hey, it works for me.

Scientists, of course, would like us to believe that there are immutable and discoverable laws of na-ture, that only verifiable, replicable truths are valid, but science only describes the “how” of life, not the “why.” No matter how far out into the cosmos or how deep down into the microcosm you push the known, it is always dwarfed by the unknown. You can’t reduce life to a set of empirical facts. Science is every bit a belief system as religion. By the time a science major graduates from college, half the things he’s learned have been proved wrong.

The idea that we create our own truths, that we transform reality by virtue of our beliefs has a distinctly Buddhist flavor to it, but it is central to my practice of Christianity. We are working for the transformation of this world into the kingdom of God. It is a very liberating and, I would argue, a very liberal way to live one’s life.

And if you’re not trying to make the world a better place for all living things, what in heaven’s name are you doing here?

PORTLAND — Perleston L. "Bub" Pert, 81, died on Aug. 27 at the Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough. He was born in Bath on Jan. 25, 1931, the son of Perleston L. Pert Sr., and Katherine White Pert.

As a boy, Pert en-joyed comic books and building and racing go-karts with friends. He attended Bath schools, graduating from Morse High School, class of 1948. He received a bachelor's in journalism in 1953 from the University of Maine.

Commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the U.S. Army Infantry upon graduation from the University of Maine, Pert served on active duty at Fort Benning, Ga., and Fort Dix, N.J., between 1954 and 1956, attaining the rank of 1st Lt.

In 1958, he married Jacqueline E. Snipe, of Topsham.

From 1953 to 1967, excluding time served in military, Pert pursued a career in journalism as a news editor at WGAN radio and television in Portland, editor of the Boothbay Register in Boothbay Harbor, and feature writer and photographer for the Maine Sunday Telegram based in Water-ville and covering central Maine.

While with the Gannett newspapers, he was awarded a Gold Press Card Award for producing a photo page on Revere bells in Maine, finding a total of 23, contrary to published reports that only a dozen or so existed in the state. He later authored an expanded article on Maine’s Revere bells published in the January 1971 issue of Down East Magazine under the pseudonym J. J. Lincoln.

In 1967, he was the first person to be ap-pointed public information officer for the Maine State Police. He compiled statutory and organizational histories of the Maine State Police, detailing the development of barracks buildings, a statewide police radio

network and a training academy. All of these compilations are now housed in the Maine State Library.

From 1974 to 1990, he served as director of public information for the Maine Depart-ment of Education under six commission-ers. Pert produced the education newsletter Maine Insight.

He retired in August 1994 after four years as manager and treasurer of the Sagadahock Real Estate Association in Bath.

He was intensely interested in Maine history, particularly relating to Bath and the Kennebec River region. In 1995, Pert au-thored "A Summary History of Bath, Maine 1850 to 1990," which was first printed by the city’s comprehensive plan core commit-tee. He was a charter member of the Bath Historical Society, organized in 1989, and

Katherine ‘Katie’ Lane, 62PORTLAND — Katherine “Katie”

Ruth Lane, 62, died unexpectedly Aug. 23. She was born on Oct. 8, 1949 in Mil-linocket, a daughter of Ruth (Jewell) and Richard Angotti. She was educated in Mil-linocket schools and graduated from Stea-rns High School.

Lane worked as an administrative assistant, a self-employed CAD operator and later was employed by the town of Freeport. Lane loved being outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fish-ing. She was president of the Durham Rod and Gun Club for two years and did volunteer work with Maine Fisheries and assisted in the Boater Safety Program. She also loved dogs and at one time showed “shelties.”

Mass., for 25 years before moving to Yarmouth in 1986.

She was a kindergarten teacher at Mill-brook Country Day School in Wilmington, Mass., and later at St. Charles School in Woburn, Mass. She always loved children and they loved her.

Deveau was a member of the Yarmouth Women’s Club for many years. She also served on the board at Royal Mariner Es-tates in Yarmouth, where the couple lived before moving to Birchwoods at Canco As-sisted Living in Portland several years ago.

Wherever she lived, Deveau formed close personal connections. Neighbors be-came friends and Deveau stayed in touch. She loved Maine and for many years she would spend a summer week somewhere along the coast. Deveau was an avid reader and also enjoyed raising African violets, which graced her windowsills wherever she lived. She delighted in her grandchildren and, later, her great-grandchildren. Last February, relatives of four generations helped her celebrate 90 years.

Deveau is survived by her husband, John, of Portland; a son, Kenneth and his wife, Cheryl, of Hull, Mass.; a daughter, Stephanie and her partner, Monica Fisch-bach, of Gray; a brother, Herbert Casey, of Worcester, Mass.; grandchildren Derek, Deryl, Denis, and Renee; and six great-grandchildren.

Deveau was predeceased by her brother, William Casey, and her sister, Catherine “Kay” Coyle.

David Turin, head chef and owner of David’s Restaurant and David’s 388, has been recognized as a culinary innova-tor by the International Food, Wine and Travel Writer’s Association.

The American Cancer Society was recently named a recipient of the 2012 Bowdoin College Common Good Grant to help support their Road to Recovery Program. The Society’s Road to Recov-ery program matches volunteer drivers with cancer patients to provide safe and reliable transportation to and from cancer treatment. Since 2001, an anonymous alumni donor has contributed $10,000 an-nually for Bowdoin students to allocate to local agencies looking for funding to start

new initiatives and as well as maintain existing programs. Acting much like a community foundation, students that are a part of the program evaluate grant pro-posals to determine which local nonprof-its will receive the Common Good Grants each spring. The purpose of the program is to provide students the opportunity to learn about grants, foundations and phi-lanthropy while becoming familiar with local non-profit organizations.

By Michael HofferAnd we’re off.Another fall sports season began last

week and early results suggest that lo-cal athletes and teams are in for plenty of triumph.

Not quite every squad had begun play at press time, but most are underway.

Here’s a glimpse.Boys’ soccer

Defending Class C boys’ soccer state champion Waynflete opened its title defense with a 7-0 victory at Wells, a Class B school. Senior Paul Runyambo led a balanced offense with a pair of goals. Classmates Max Bel-leau, Jack Cutler and Mohammed Suja, junior Elyse Beyizere and freshman

Willy Burdick (in his varsity debut) also scored. Suja had two assists, Burdick, Runyambo and senior Kevin Kanakan one apiece. The Flyers are idle until Monday, when they host Wells. Tues-day, Waynflete welcomes Lake Region.

In Western A, Cheverus got off to a good start with a 3-1 home victory over Sanford. The Stags got goals from Zach Poulin, Christian Verrault and Elijah Yeboah. Cheverus looked to make it two straight Tuesday at home versus Biddeford. After visiting Bonny Eagle Thursday, the Stags return home next Tuesday to play Noble.

Deering began with a scoreless tie at Massabesic.

“We overwhelmingly dominated the game, but could not find the back of the net to score,” said Rams coach Joel Costigan.

The Rams went to Westbrook Tues-day, host Portland Thursday and wel-

come Gorham Monday.Portland took the field for the first

time Tuesday when it hosted Noble. Af-ter going to Deering Thursday, the Bull-dogs host perennial power Scarborough Tuesday of next week.

Girls’ soccerDeering’s girls’ soccer team opened

with a 2-0 home victory over Massabe-sic, as junior Alexis Elowitch and fresh-man Simone Lauture had goals. The Rams were home against Westbrook Tuesday and welcome Portland Thurs-day.

Cheverus rolled at McAuley in the teams’ mutual opener, 6-0. The Stags were sparked by two goals apiece from senior Darby Rawcliffe and junior Abby Maker and one each from senior Eden Munson and junior Sadie Lyons. Cheverus is at Biddeford Tuesday and hosts Bonny Eagle Thursday.

Cheverus, Portland win openers; Deering falls(Ed. Note: For the complete

Cheverus-Sanford and Deering-Thornton Academy game stories, with box scores, please visit the-forecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

It was an eventful first week-end for city football teams, even though only one game was played in Portland.

The one host squad, the Port-land Bulldogs, may have had the most impressive debut, pulling away from Massabesic in the second half for a 45-14 triumph.

Portland, in its first season with-out longtime coach Mike Bailey since the 1980s and its first under Jim Hartman, which led Yarmouth to back -to-back Class C state championships, entered the season full of optimism and it proved to be warranted.

After a scoreless first period, the Bulldogs got touchdown runs from sophomore Ryan Ruhlin and junior Jayvon Pitts-Young, but the Mustangs scored on two big plays to make it a 14-14 contest at halftime.

Then, Portland took the lead behind a Pitts-Young TD run. That set the stage for a 24-point fourth quarter, highlighted by three touchdowns from junior Justin Zukowski and a long TD run by junior Abe Marr.

The Bulldogs had almost 500 yards of offense and Pitts-Young, Zukowki and senior Nick Volger all gained over 100 yards.

“It was good for the kids to get some confidence in what we do and our systems,” said Hart-man. “We came out sluggish and made mistakes with fumbles, punt coverage. You can’t get away

with that against good teams. We stopped making mistakes in the second half and had good balance on offense. It was a good start for the offense. The defense was exceptional. They’re further ahead than I thought.”

Cheverus, the two-time defend-ing Class A state champions, made it 25 successive wins with a 43-6 victory at Sanford. Like Portland, the Stags saved their best for last.

Cheverus could have had a commanding lead at halftime, but two fumbles and a loss of downs deep in Sanford territory held the Stags at bay. A 1-yard TD run by

senior Brent Green broke the ice in the first quarter and sophomore Patrick Mourmouras added the extra point for a 7-0 lead. In the second period, senior quarterback Liam Fitzpatrick scored on a 6-yard run. Mourmouras’ point-after was no good and it was 13-0 Cheverus at the break.

The newly nicknamed Spartans

drove the field to start the second half, chewing up almost eight minutes before senior Alex Shain (who was held to just 47 yards on 14 carries) scored on a 3-yard run.

The Stags were tested for the first time and rose to the occasion.

Senior Donald Goodrich broke free for a 46-yard TD scamper and after a Sanford fumble, Fitzpatrick

found senior Mike Flaherty for an 8-yard TD pass and after three periods, Cheverus was up, 28-6.

A 9-yard TD run from Green and a 6-yard TD scamper from sophomore Jack Zinn accounted for the final score.

“(Answering Sanford’s touch-down) showed a lot of character,” said Goodrich, who had 172 yards and a TD on 18 carries. “Nobody got down. We came out and wanted to answer.”

“We have good players in the backfield,” said Fitzpatrick, who had 78 yards and a score on the ground and also threw for a touch-down. “We have athletes. At any time, we can break a big one. Any play can be a home run. A lot of depth and versatility helps out.”

“We have a character group of kids,” added Cheverus coach John Wolfgram. “In a football game, you have to answer. We answered them with a nice drive. I thought we played hard for 48 minutes. Certainly not perfect, but hard for 48 minutes. I thought we were physical, played disciplined and with hard conviction for 48 minutes. If those things happen, I think you have a chance to be suc-cessful over the long haul.”

The Stags come home Saturday for an intriguing showdown with Portland. The Bulldogs played Cheverus closer than anyone last season, leading 7-0 early and being tied at the half before the Stags went on to a 21-7 victory.

One of Cheverus’ recent man-tras is “Protect the Hill.” It will look to do that and extend its win streak to 26, but must play better.

“We had a lot of penalties (to-continued page 19

R. Steven ShaRp / FoR the FoRecaSteRPortland freshman goalie Gianna Gaudett kicks away a Marshwood shot Saturday morning during

the Bulldogs’ 6-0 loss to the Hawks in a rematch of last year’s Western Class A Final.

McAuley got 14 saves from senior goal-keeper Molly Miller in its loss to Cheverus. The Lions host Sanford Thursday and go to Windham Monday.

Portland fell 3-0 at home to highly touted Windham in its opener. The Bulldogs go to Noble Wednesday and Deering Thursday.

In Western C, Waynflete began with a 1-0 home victory over Sacopee. Freshman Arianna Giguere’s first half goal (from senior Isabel Agnew) held up. The Flyers host Poland Tuesday.

Field hockeyCheverus’ field hockey team looks like

a top contender based on its early action.The Stags opened with a 4-0 home vic-

tory over Thornton Academy. After being stymied for a half, junior Alex Logan broke the ice with an unassisted goal out of a scrum in the fourth minute of the second half. Senior Staci Swallow (on a rebound), senior Emily Rodrigue (on a rebound) and Swallow again (on a rocket) also scored.

“Once we calmed down in the second half, we played our game,” said Cheverus coach Amy McMullin. “It’s our first game and there were nerves and we really weren’t playing together. The second half was much better for us. The girls want it just as much as I do and all the coaches. I love that about them. They do everything we ask. The seniors have been with me three years. They’ve been to a state game (2010) and know how I want things and how things should be. The seniors help the new players.”

Fall sportsfrom page 17

Cheverus made ti 2-0 Saturday with a 5-0 home win over Deering. Rodrigue had a hat trick and juniors Laura Bither and Elyse Caiazzo also rattled the cage. The Stags go to Windham Wednesday, host Biddeford Friday and welcome Bonny Eagle Tuesday of next week.

Deering entered the Cheverus game with a win already to its credit. In coach Liz Koharian’s debut, the Rams edged visiting Windham, 1-0, in overtime, on freshman Mia Thurson’s goal. Deering is at Bidd-eford Wednesday and returns home Tuesday of next week to face Kennebunk.

McAuley opened with a 10-0 loss at Scarborough and fell to 0-2 after a 4-0 home loss to Biddeford. The Lions host Marshwood Wednesday, go to Thornton Academy Friday and welcome Windham Tuesday of next week.

Portland opened with home losses to Massabesic (5-1) and defending regional champion Marshwood (6-0). Against the Mustangs, senior Gabi Cardona scored and freshman goalie Gianna Gaudett made seven saves. The Bulldogs also started 0-2 against the same two teams a year ago, but turned things around and reached the Western A Final. Portland hoped to get in the win column Wednesday at South Port-land. It plays at powerhouse Scarborough Tuesday of next week.

In Western C, Waynflete won a thriller in its opener, 2-1, in overtime over visit-ing Old Orchard Beach on senior Merilla Michael’s goal. Classmate Jo Moore also scored. The Flyers fell to 1-1 Friday with a 3-0 loss at Freeport. Waynflete is at Sa-copee Monday.

Cross countryCheverus, Deering, McAuley and Port-

land runners took part at the SMAA Relays last weekend. Portland’s Ben Allen was the fastest male. The Stags girls’ team came in second to Bonny Eagle.

The regular season begins this weekend as McAuley hosts Biddeford and Windham, Cheverus joins Sanford at Gorham, Deering (along with Marshwood and Westbrook) goes to Kennebunk and Portland (along with Noble and Thornton Academy) runs at Bonny Eagle.

Class C contender Waynflete opened (along with Freeport and Yarmouth) at Poland. The Flyers girls finished third (se-nior Martha Veroneau had the third-fastest individual time: 22 minutes, 57 seconds). The boys came in third (senior Josh Espy placed fourth, 19:23).

Waynflete returns to the trails Friday at Wells (joined by Greely, Sacopee and Traip).

GolfCheverus’ golf team opened with a 10.5-

2.5 win over Portland. The Stags were home with Scarborough Monday, while the Bulldogs went to South Portland. Deering’s first match resulted in a 10.5-2.5 victory over South Portland. The Rams squared off with defending Class A champion Fal-mouth Tuesday. Waynflete begins Sept. 12 at Freeport.

VolleyballCheverus’ first-year volleyball program

was supposed to open Saturday against Cony, but that match was postponed to Sept. 12. As a result, the Stags debuted Tuesday at home versus Falmouth. Cheverus is at North Yarmouth Academy Thursday and goes to state runner-up Scarborough Saturday.

night),” Goodrich said. “We have to work on our discipline.”

“We’re just like any other year,” said Fitzpatrick. “We’re not dwelling on the past or looking toward the future. We focus on one game at a time, one play at a time. It should be a good game. Portland’s a good team. It’ll be a good challenge for us. I’m looking forward to it.”

The game will feature a state first: Two coaches riding 25-game win streaks.

“It’s pretty cool to be on the same field with (John),” said Hartman. “He’s a good man. He runs a sound team. They play the game the right way. Our kids won’t back down. They’re not intimidated. If we can avoid mistakes, we’ll be fine. We have to learn how to win. That’s the process we’re in right now.”

Only Deering failed to get in the win column in its first try, suffering an Open-ing Day loss for the first time since 2005, 44-14, at powerhouse Thornton Academy.

The Rams knew they’d have their hands full with a Golden Trojans squad picked by many to dethrone Cheverus this year.

Deering only managed three yards of offense in the first quarter and fell behind, 10-0. Thornton Academy junior standout Andrew Libby returned a punt 57-yards for a score and it was 17-0 Golden Trojans at the half.

The Rams got some momentum in the third period when an interception and long return by senior Kenny Sweet set the stage for a 2-yard TD pass from junior Mike Marzilli to senior James Doyle, but Libby broke free for a 65-yard scoring run. The hosts added two more touchdowns before Marzilli answered with a 1-yard TD run. Thornton Academy got a late touchdown to account for the final score.

“We never gave up,” said Deering coach Jon Gallant. “We had stretches where we were really good, but we didn’t capitalize

and finish. Against a good team, you can’t do that. It’s a matter of taking this and learning and using what happened today to fuel us next week.”

The offense was paced by senior Domi-nic Lauture (12 rushes for 95 yards) and Sweet (eight rushes for 91 yards). Mar-zilli gained 15 yards on nine attempts and scored a touchdown. Through the air, Mar-zilli finished 5-of-11 for 40 yards with an interception and a touchdown.

“It took us awhile,” said Gallant. “Our line wasn’t ready. After the first quarter, they came out and really started to take it personally to work harder and give the backs a chance. We have a lot of guys out here that this was the first game that counts. (Thornton’s) one of the top teams for a reason.”

Friday, Deering will play its home opener against 0-1 Sanford. The Rams and Spar-tans didn’t meet last year.

Local Ultimate frisbee team third at national tourney

Portland’s Sophie Hulbert, a member of the Ultimate Frisbee “Rising Tide,” all-star team, shows off her skills in recent action.

“It will be the first time in three weeks we’ll be on our home field,” said Gallant. “We hardly get to practice on it. We look forward to any time we can play a game,

home or away. We’ll let it all go on Friday night. We have ability if we work hard. “

Westbrook Seals opens season, offers lessons

The Westbrook Seals Swim Club, a United States Swimming team, will begin its fall season Monday with practices for returning competitive swimmers.

The 5-week session

By Bryan O’Connor Two weeks ago, I told you that the Red

Sox were not only headed for their worst season since 1997, but that the future looked bleak, with bad contracts tying up payroll for years to come.

Since then, things have gotten worse for the 2012 Sox. David Ortiz is back on the disabled list. They lost a game 20-2. At this point, they’ll almost certainly have the team’s worst record since the 1992 team went 72-90, if not since the 1965 team went 62-100.

But things are looking up for the Red Sox.

Boston had three unquestionably bad contracts on its books in early August, and a fourth that didn’t make sense unless the team was competitive. In perhaps the biggest Red Sox trade since Babe Ruth went to New York, and certainly the biggest waiver wire trade ever, the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed two of those bad contracts- Josh Beckett’s and Carl Crawford’s- and the other questionable one- Adrian Gonzalez’s, and took Nick Punto for good measure.

Somehow, the Sox convinced LA to part with a few prospects, including promising pitchers Rubby de la Rosa and

Allen Webster, in addition to the salary relief.

John Lackey is still owed $30.5 million over the next two years, and is a long shot to justify half of that salary. Aside from Lackey, the only players signed to the Red Sox after 2012 are Dustin Pedroia, the team’s best player, and Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, its two best pitchers.

As bad as they look right now, this team has a solid core for the future with Lester, Buchholz, and Felix Doubront in the rotation and Pedroia and Will Middle-brooks anchoring the lineup. They’ll have difficult decisions to make with David Ortiz entering free agency and Jacoby Ellsbury in his final arbitration year, and they may be tempted to make a splash on the free agent market, with Josh Hamil-ton and Zack Greinke up for grabs and more payroll flexibility than they’ve had in years.

Whatever the Red Sox choose to do in 2013, the future looks brighter today than it did when Josh Beckett was pitching every fifth day and Carl Crawford was playing every fifth month.

Now let’s ship Bobby Valentine out of town and start winning again.

OpeningSept 8th

Before beginning work on the mural, she had to plot out each dab of color on a grid.

“You have to think of the image as something concrete, something that works with the fence, but then build it piece by piece,” she said.

Next to a vacant lot between Cove and Diamond streets, along a pedestrian trail, artists Jan Piribeck and Christopher Wright are taking a similar approach with “Blue Wrap Wave.” The mural uses recycled medical fabric in three shades of blue to build a wave-like design.

“The goal is to re-purpose the fabric and use it to create a wave motif in re-sponse to the wave patterns of the nearby Back Cove,” said Piribeck, who chairs the University of Southern Maine’s art

department. “The area surrounding the fence was once covered by water, and is vulnerable to rising sea levels in years to come.”

Jonathan Cook, a recent USM graduate who studied in Piribeck’s department, is at work on “Woven Wall” near the corner of Congress Street and Washington Avenue.

His mural is made from a tarp he found in his grandmother’s house, and has cut into strips that are woven through the chain-link mesh. Woven Wall is inspired by an Egyptian Islamic pattern, reflecting East Bayside’s heritage as the city’s most ethnically diverse neighborhood, he said.

A few blocks away, Tim Clorius began work last week on “Clouds,” a mural that uses old fence slats and leftover paint do-nated by Clorius. His mural will have two locations: a fence bordering the Maine

Muslim Community Center at Fox and Anderson streets, and another fence near Piribeck’s mural.

“I want to do something beautiful ... but what really interests me is how the com-munity can be engaged through street art,” said Clorius, an internationally known graffiti artist who graduated from the Maine College of Art.

He plans to invite residents to partici-pate in the creation of his mural, perhaps by letting them weave the fence slats for a $1 contribution. The proceeds would be used to buy new basketball hoops for neighborhood children.

Good Fences for Good Neighbors and the neighborhood open-house result from a collaboration between the East Bayside Neighborhood Organization and Art At Work, a national initiative started in Portland to engage local government in art-making.

Art At Work recently branched out to make city neighborhoods part of that pro-cess through its Meeting Place program.

In addition to Good Fences for Good Neighbors in East Bayside, Meeting Place arts projects are underway in Bayside, Libbytown and the West End, funded by a $100,000 grant from the National Endow-ment for the Arts.

“I realized that municipal government is only as strong as the community it serves,” said Marty Pottenger, Art At Work’s founder and director. “I thought, if the neighborhoods and their associations could be re-energized through art, it could make a huge difference.

“The goal (of Meeting Place) is to help each neighborhood reset its notion of itself, and also Portland’s notion of the neighborhood.”

after settling in Scarborough, but died in his studio in 1910 at age 74.

Levesque noted Homer did not enjoy distractions as he worked in the studio, which was moved from its original site near a family home called “The Ark,” and rede-signed by Portland architect John Calvin Stevens. Yet there are extensive photos of him at work and of the studio, which proved invaluable in the restoration process.

The photos allowed restorers to count ex-terior clapboards, and Levesque said the in-terior pine walls and floors were dismantled and cleaned. Excavation below Homer’s painting room turned up empty paint bottles and brush tips. His name is etched into a first-floor library window, and his pencilled literary quotations are still visible on walls.

The interior restoration recaptures Hom-er’s working environment, and the exterior piazza facing the ocean has been reinforced with steel beams so visitors can step into

the view, which on a sunny day extends beyond Old Orchard Beach to the mouth of the Saco River.

The piazza was a major addition by Ste-vens, but was already faltering while Homer was alive. Workers also rebuilt the studio’s mansard roof and the ladder Homer used to climb to a rooftop perch.

The artist’s passions beyond the palate are well represented inside with his pipe, fishing rod, an eel spear and nets. A sign on the mantle warning of abundant snakes and mice was once posted outdoors as a way to keep out sightseers Homer called “rusticators.”

On the second floor, space has been devoted to highlighting other artists who have worked in Maine or called it home. Levesque said the multimedia presentations will be changed to keep things fresh.

The studio will open with a Sept. 17 ceremony and press preview, and public tours begin Sept. 25. Access is limited to 10 visitors at a time, who will be driven to the studio in a van from the Congress Square museum in Portland.

Studio tours will end for the year on Dec. 2, and resume next spring from April 2 to June 14. Levesque said no tour schedule has been determined beyond next spring.

By Carie CostelloBring on the color for fall 2012 – Pantone

fashion colors for fall are French Roast, Honey Gold, Pink Flambé, Tangerine Tango, Ultramarine Green, Bright Chartreuse, Olympian Blue, Tita-nium, Rhapsody (violet), Rose Smoke. The fave for fall is Burgundy; this rich color is versatile and chic – as basic as black. Wear it with blue, forest green, pink, lime, and teal. And did you hear navy is the new neutral?

Style trends for fall are geometric and femi-nine. Designers are obsessed with prints such as paisleys, florals, checks, and plaids; they are seen in skirts, fall shorts, dresses, pants, shirts, blouses, jackets, and sweaters. Colorful lace is still attaching itself to collars, scarves, dresses, and skirts – it is sweet and sexy. Jeans are skinny and straight, rich in autumn toned colors and dark denim. Peppy peplums are literally popping up on tops, dresses, and shirts – this silhouette is definitely on this fall’s list-it’s flattering and feminine. Shine and all that glitters is making its way onto clothing, shoes, bags and scarves. Shoes are certainly not subdued this season – they are adorned with geometric detail, metal, and intense color. Look for color blocked wedges, menswear pumps (penny loafers), Chelsea (short) boots, t-strap heels, and over the knee boots.

Accessories are feminine, geometric, colorful and bold. Scarves fulfill all of these trends from lacy to graphic. Try a continuous loop, a color

blocked style, or a geometric pattern such as stripes and squares. Scarves are an economical way to bring color to a new or old clothing friend.

Jewelry trends for fall 2012 are nature-based featuring natural materials like wood and shell. The jewelry color palette features browns, orang-es, grays, yellows, rich earth colors and neutral tones with the always popular turquoise.

Necklaces and earrings feature geometric de-signs and many floral elements. Chunky resin jewelry is colorful and bright. Maxi necklaces – 48” or more – continue to be very popular lengths. They are great for layering and adding rich color.

Makeup for fall takes center stage with bold, bright eye shadows – purple is a must-have. Ruby lipsticks with brown undertones are best from creamy matte to gloss. Burgundy is number one followed by Hot pink for a pop of color. Coral will add glow to your skin or Cherry red offers a strong yet feminine look. Nude for a classic and modern look. The Retro look of winged eyeliner from on the lid extended completely across the eyelid has resurfaced to give that edgy look – this is where liquid liner really works. Defined, beau-tifully strong brows continue to draw attention. If you do not own your own there are many brow products to help you fake it!

Nail polish takes on bold colors such as bur-gundy, midnight blues, and deep purples keeping

Fall’s forecast adds color, geometry to your style

Fall Fashion

in line with the bold color theme for fall.

Everything for hair is shine, shine, shine this fall. Shiny hair in short, sassy, medium lengths is everywhere. Dressing the hair – the more you work with products the better you will be able to achieve this fall’s look-ask your hair stylist. Hair accessories like headbands are popular – in florals, bright colors, embellished or geometric styles.

When I learned I had a braIn tumor,I dIdn’t knoW What to do but cry.My husband and I called Dr. Stark at Martin’s Point

and he picked up immediately. Later, we had

more questions. We called him three times that

afternoon and every time he was right there.

He really took the time to listen to our concerns

and answer all of our questions. That was six years

ago, and I’m healthy. I still go to Dr. Stark and I’m

so grateful for his kind care.

At Martin’s Point, we don’t just carefor our patients, we care about them.

“For voters, it can be like running a gauntlet,” he said.

Woodbury responded, “I definitely see both sides. ... I think there’s something positive about voters seeing the candi-dates. But people should also be free to vote and then proceed along their way.”

(Under state law, candidates may be present in a voting place, as long as they do not identify the office for which they’re running or attempt to influence voters.)

Woodbury also praised Maine for over-turning a law last year that would have ended the practice of allowing voters to register on they day they vote. More than 18,000 voters took advantage of that op-tion in 2010, he said.

Most of the speakers at the meeting seemed to echo the words of Rep. Diane Russell, D-Portland, who is serving her second term representing the Eastern Promenade and downtown areas in Dis-trict 120.

“I believe we need to increase access to the ballot box,” she said. “We should

do everything in our power to get people to vote, to engage and to run for office.”

Perhaps the lone exception was an unidentified woman who spoke briefly and asked why Summers wasn’t in atten-dance, and then stormed out of the audi-torium, saying, “This meeting is boring.”

sign might have to include fewer swing sets.

“When we get to larger equipment, we have to ‘rob Peter to pay Paul,’” she said.

In addition to the playground equipment, the design calls for seating, picnic tables, walking paths and green space where chil-dren can play.

But it doesn’t include a city-owned parcel in the corner of the site, between Moody and Munjoy streets. That parcel, today used as a parking lot, isn’t part of the project. However, Donoghue invited the public to submit ideas for the lot.

Playgroundfrom page 2

Election lawfrom page 7

Fishingfrom page 6

She recommended all people working on the boats take an eight-hour marine fishing safety class, have a policy for use of life jackets and find one comfortable to work in, and maintain the watertight envelope by making sure all the doors and hatches are closed when coming back to fishing grounds.

“The tagline I’ve been using is: ‘Take the class, put one on and shut the door,’” she said. “That pretty much covers it.”

In Maine, in order to get a license, a fishermen must complete a safety course, which has helped create an awareness of safety, said Patrice McCarron, executive director of the Maine Lobsterman’s As-sociation.

“What we’ve tried to do is promote awareness,” she said, noting that MLA offers a discounted membership if the course is completed. “But, I would say the majority of people in the industry have not participated in these safety courses.”

John Drouin, 47, of Cutler, who has been fishing lobster since he was 14 years old,

said the new examination will help, but it’s difficult to get people to always do things safely.

“When I was younger, I was one of the ones who wasn’t for the requirements and I kind of bucked things,” he said. “It’s one of the things you just don’t like being told what to do.”

Drouin has now been having the dock-side inspections for about nine years, he said.

Drouin, who is the chairman of the Maine Lobster Council, and his wife, Ja-nine, who sits on the Maine Commercial

Fishing Safety Council, said they think the required examinations are a good thing.

But they also said the new regulations in the coming years could have some push-back because of the expense.

“It’s a concern for everybody,” Drouin said. “We have a lot of expenses on mainte-nance, and fishing is expensive in general. It’s one of the things that discourages me.”

For fishermen, Drouin said, no exami-nation or regulation can protect you from danger; the best prevention is preparedness.

“When you’re fishing, you just can’t pull over to the side of the road and wait for AAA to come and get you,” he said. “Accidents happen, but I don’t believe in accidents. Everything is preventable.”

“The city currently doesn’t have a policy for determining the use for the rest of the property,” he said.

In other business, Donoghue, city staff and residents discussed plans for improv-ing traffic at the intersection of North and Walnut streets with a new stop sign.

Currently, three stop signs regulate the flow of vehicles through the intersection. But eastbound traffic approaching North Street on Walnut Street is not required to stop.

The intersection is “confusing,” said city planner Tom Errico, and creates safety risks for both pedestrians and vehicles. But adding a fourth sign would create other hazards, because the steep uphill grade of

Walnut Street would make it difficult for vehicles to stop when road conditions are icy or slick, he said.

The city has been working to figure out a solution to the dilemma since 2007, city engineer Katherine Earley said. A one-way configuration was tried last year, she said, and then scrapped.

Now, the city plans to install the fourth stop sign, supplemented by a new type of pavement coating that will give drivers enough traction to stop safely on Walnut Street and then move through the intersec-tion.

The pavement coating has been used suc-cessfully in New York and elsewhere, but never in Maine, Errico said.

The city will add warning signs to alert drivers to the new traffic pattern, according to Earley. The changes are expected to be made in the next couple weeks.

Port strikesfrom page 4to stock up on Christmas-season mer-chandise.

However, Picard expects the potential for a strike “is not even on the radar screen of small retailers,” he said.

Picard is watching the situation and ex-pects to reach out to his members within the next few weeks. In the meantime, if retailers are worried about how a strike would affect them, they should call their

distributor and get a better handle on where their product is coming from and where the distributor is located, Picard said. “If they’re on the West Coast, they may not have an issue,” he said.

Humeniuk was not at last week’s nego-tiations in Florida, but said the talks broke down over the use of automation at ports that eliminate longshoremen jobs and the question of port operators providing money to retrain longshoremen for other jobs at the ports. Those issues don’t exist

in Portland, he said. Automation is some-thing happening at the big ports such as New York and Miami. Portland doesn’t have any particular issues in negotiation at the moment, he said.

Other key issues at the failed talks were overtime rules and container royalties, which are payments dock workers receive based on the weight of the cargo, accord-ing to The Associated Press.

While no new negotiations between the ILA and the U.S. Maritime Alliance are

scheduled, Humeniuk expects the par-ties will sit back down together. “If [the issues] get solved, they’re not going to get solved until the 11th hour,” he said. “Unfortunately for shippers, it’s uncom-fortable because you don’t know what to do, but that’s the nature of the beast.”

If a strike or lockout did occur, Humen-iuk expects it would be “very short-lived” because the economic impact would be so dramatic that President Barack Obama would likely get involved.
