Stress builds between Cape gun club, neighbors

By David HarryCAPE ELIZABETH — Nes-

tled into a hollow off Sawyer Road, the Spurwink Rod and Gun Club has been a meeting spot for target shooters for about 56 years.

DaviD Harry / THe ForecasTerClub members take aim at targets Wednesday afternoon at the Spurwink Rod & Gun Club on Sawyer Road in Cape Elizabeth. The club was formed in 1956, and President Mark Mayon said it is as much a social gathering spot as a

shooting range. “The dinner meetings are usually fuller than the business meetings,” he said.

On Monday, town councilors decided tensions between the club and some neighbors in a newer residential neighborhood built beyond the woods sur-rounding the club have reached a level requiring a discussion.

Councilors unanimously agreed to hold a workshop on the matter, but no date has been set.

Tony’s Donuts ready to roll out South Portland expansionBy Mario Moretto

PORTLAND — No matter what gim-micks, marketing schemes or luck you fold into your dough, Rick Fournier says selling doughnuts comes down to just one thing: flavor.

So what makes his Tony’s Donuts such a long-lived success, despite stiff com-petition from local bakeries and national chains?

“I’ve got the taste,” Fournier said. “I

know what doughnuts are supposed to taste like.”

Now, after operating out of its 9 Bolton St. location for more than 45 years, Tony’s Donuts is planning to open a sec-ond bakery at 1059 Broadway in South Portland. Fournier expects the new shop to open in fall 2012.

“It’s a great location, and it’s about time we expand,” Fournier said.

Fournier said he’d been in negotiations

with the South Portland property owner for more than two years. He wouldn’t say how much he paid for the roughly half-acre parcel and a 1,400-square-foot retail building, but the site’s assessed value is about $265,000, according to South Portland tax documents.

The building on Broadway was a gas station for decades, first Chevron

City picks lawsuit over hearing on councilor health careBy Mario Moretto

SOUTH PORTLAND — An agreement that would have resulted in the dismissal of a lawsuit against the city over its health care program for city councilors was rejected by the council in a closed-door meeting last week.

The plaintiff in the case, Al-bert DiMillo Jr., provided The Forecaster with a copy of the draft “Stipulation of Dismissal.” It would have required the city to hold at least one public work-shop or forum before July 9 to discuss councilor participation in the city’s employee health

insurance program.In exchange, DiMillo would

have agreed to drop the lawsuit, which was filed in January, until at least Nov. 15.

The result is that city coun-cilors are likely to continue to discuss the issue only in private, without answering questions from constituents about the le-gality of the benefit. Councilors have been instructed by their attorney, Sally Daggett, not to discuss the issue publicly.

DiMillo is suing the city in Cumberland County Superior

Scarborough residents speak out for proposed school budgetBy Mario Moretto

SCARBOROUGH — If com-ments from residents at the first public budget hearing are any indication, voters here will be more than happy to support pro-posed increases in fiscal 2013 spending.

By a ratio of about 2-to-1, res-idents took the podium Wednes-day to tell town councilors to approve the budget as proposed. About 60 people attended the public hearing, and 14 spoke to the council.

The proposed budget for fis-cal year 2013 is about $67.6 million, of which $50.3 mil-lion would come from property taxes. That would result in a projected property tax rate of $14.03 per $1,000 of property value – a $1 increase from the current rate.

It translates to about $300 more in property taxes for the average Scarborough home-

Christina Teale of South Portland: A passion for musicBy David Treadwell

SOUTH PORTLAND — Music is Christina Teale’s passion.

“I couldn’t live without music,” she said. “It’s my thing.”

For the last few years, Teale’s passion has been applied to numerous behind-the-scenes tasks for the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

At home, she has another major pas-sion: dogs. Tiger, a bouncy border terrier, greets visitors eagerly at the door, while Lily, a shy whippet, eyes them from a perch on a living-room chair.

Teale, a Cape Elizabeth native, headed off to Wellesley College in the early 1950s, only to find the college’s culture

unsuited to her tastes. After two years, she transfered to the University of Edin-burgh in Scotland. She then returned to the U.S., took courses at Katharine Gibbs Secretarial School in Boston, and landed a job as secretary to the dean of admis-sions at Harvard University.

Europe retained its allure for this inde-pendent spirit, so she went to England, where she spent a year at the Reuters news agency, followed by a year as a civil servant with the U.S. Navy in London. Then she took a position well designed for a person with her administrative talents and love of the arts: administra-tive assistant in charge of arts for the Fulbright Commission.

“It was a perfect job for me,” Teale said, “working with young music and drama scholars.” During that period, she married an Englishman, a veterinarian.

For the next 35 years, Teale raised

three children, while taking on ever-in-creasing administrative duties for several musical organizations: the John Wright Concert Agency, the Schubert Ensemble of London, the Southern Orchestral Concert Society, and the Southern Pro Musica Orchestra, of which she was the co-founder. Later, she began to make pottery, and some of her works adorn her home.

When her husband died, Teale decided to return to the United States in 2007 to be closer to her family, as well as her two

S.P. School Board won’t budge on budgetBy Mario Moretto

SOUTH PORTLAND — The School Board stood defiant Monday in the face the City Council’s call to reduce the proposed fiscal 2013 school budget.

“The only faith I have is the faith that this (budget) will move our school system forward, and that’s why I’m not going to take a pencil and try to change anything,”


New Veterans Memorial Bridge nears completionBy Andrew Cullen

PORTLAND — Nearly two years after the first foundation of the new Veterans Memorial Bridge was installed, the project is on track to wrap up and be open to traf-fic by July.

On Tuesday, the $63 million bridge ap-peared to be little more than a raw concrete span during a site walk organized by the

Andrew Cullen / The ForeCAsTer The new Veterans Memorial Bridge between Portland and South Portland, under construction

since 2010, is now just three months from opening to traffic. Officials say the project is running on schedule and on budget.

School Board member Richard Matthews said during the workshop.

While the City Council can’t adjust line items in the School Board’s proposal, it has the authority to approve or reject the budget as a whole. Councilors must approve the district’s budget before it can be sent to voters for final approval.

The numbers are a little tricky. All

along, the School Board has framed its $40 million budget proposal as a 2.2 percent increase – about $762,000 – to be funded by taxpayers.

But that figure includes only the district’s operating budget. When residents go to the

polls in May, they’ll also vote on costs as-sociated with paying off the $41.5 million renovation of South Portland High School, an additional tax-funded cost next year of $525,000.

So the tax increase voters will see on their ballots is about 3.78 percent. Coun-cilors last week asked the School Board to

Greater Portland Council of Governments and Portland Area Comprehensive Trans-portation System.

But members of the design team said the new bridge, unlike its precursor, will be an aesthetic feat that truly honors the nation’s military forces.

“Nothing about (the existing bridge) says veterans memorial,” landscape architect Mark Johnson said, gesturing towards the 58-year-old bridge, functional but unimagi-native and rapidly nearing the end of its life span.

Johnson helped design elements of the new bridge that he said will emphasize the connection with the sacrifices of America’s service men and women, including a series of plaques dedicated to each of the armed forces and a granite-based flag for the Mer-chant Marine.

At several points over the bridge, the

12-foot-wide pedestrian and bicycle path on the bridge’s edge will widen into scenic outlooks over the Fore River. The outlooks will feature benches for reflecting on the river. Curved concrete walls dividing the path from the motorway will be topped with arced metal poles that appear to “wave in a sinuous pattern,” and seemingly bow in def-erence as befits a memorial, Johnson said.

The new bridge is unique, too, because the design process involved more public input than the typical infrastructure project, including the voices of several veterans groups, he said.

“A major stakeholder concern early on was a reaction to what the old bridge was, which is basically a viaduct,” Johnson said.

Cape cemetery, park, library plans move forwardBy David Harry

CAPE ELIZABETH — Potential changes in operations at Riverside Cem-etery were approved Monday, when town councilors also set a May 14 hearing date to discuss revisions to the Fort Williams Park Master Plan.

Efforts to renovate and rebuild Thomas Memorial Library were also given a definitive schedule, as councilors set an Oct. 10 date for a council vote on the project.

Councilors approved allocating $45,000 to complete a stone wall bor-dering Riverside Cemetery on Route 77 and increases in cemetery service fees.

The Riverside Cemetery Master Plan

Public hearing scheduled for Cape Elizabeth budgetBy David Harry

CAPE ELIZABETH — The full scope of $32.2 million in school and municipal spending for fiscal 2013 will be open to comment at a 7 p.m. public hearing at Town Hall on April 26.

Councilors approved the hearing date at a special meeting on Wednesday.

The combination of school and municipal spending, and contributions to Cumberland County government, could boost local property taxes by 67 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to a tax rate of $15.85.

The needed taxpayer commitment to fund the budgets will increase from the current $24.93 million to $26 million. Town Man-ager Michael McGovern said the tax rate will not be set until Town Assessor Mat-

suggests expanding the grounds and im-proving the flag while removing invasive species and expanding the views to the Spurwink River.

The plan also suggests building in-terment sites called “niche walls,” and exploring additional plot space, because cemetery capacity could be filled within the next 15 to 20 years.

The updated Fort Williams Park Master Plan outlines potential changes through-out the park and ways to increase park revenues. The updated plan was sent to the Planning Board in the winter and changes were unanimously endorsed last month.

Projects including adding pavilion

space, reconstructing the parking lot at Ship Cove Beach and protecting some park structures are seen by councilors as long-term plans.

The master plan and its update also includes an outline of the ongoing arbo-retum construction for 15 park sites.

In addition to setting the date for the master plan public hearings, councilors approved group use requests for the park for the June 10 Cape Elizabeth High School commencement exercises, June 16 Family Fun Day, Aug. 4 TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K and Sept. 2 Engine 1 Art Show.

Preceding the library vote and a Sep-tember public hearing, there will be

a “public engagement” period where library staff and other interested parties will discuss and detail the scope of the project.

Town Manager Michael McGovern said there is no firm estimate for the project, but early indications put an $8 million to $8.5 million price tag on work to expand the library and create a com-munity cultural center as part of the plan.

The 5-2 council vote on setting the date reflected opposition from Councilors

thew Sturgis completes the annual property valuation.

Education spending is the largest share of the combined budgets, with a fiscal year 2013 projection of $21.76 million, requiring $18.92 million in property tax revenue. The education share of the tax rate is estimated to be $11.50 per $1,000 of assessed value, according to data presented by McGovern.

The budget presented by School Superin-tendent Meredith Nadeau increases spend-ing by more than $600,000. The School De-partment is confronted with about $715,000 in lost federal and state revenue.

Some of the shortfalls are made up by using $480,000 in accumulated Medicaid funds and $250,000 in department surplus funds.

Spending for town services will be re-duced by $54,000 to $8.86 million, a reduc-tion that can be largely attributed to shifting salaries and benefits for employees of the Donald L. Richards Pool to the Community Services budget.

As a result, the Community Services bud-get will increase by $250,000 to $437,000. The shift also removes an anticipated $183,800 in pool revenues from the mu-nicipal budget.

McGovern budgeted an increase in ex-

cise tax revenues of $55,000. State revenue sharing remains constant at $622,000, but municipal revenues excluding property taxes are expected to decrease by $74,500 to $3.3 million.

Councilors approved the hearing date as the next step in the process of setting spending for fiscal year 2013, which be-gins July 1. The final council budget vote is scheduled for May 14. On June 12, the school budget will face a referendum vote by residents.

Construction of Higgins Beach bathhouse could begin this fallBy Mario Moretto

SCARBOROUGH — By next sum-mer, Higgins Beach may finally get the bathhouse some residents say is needed to prevent public nudity and urination near the beach.

A $288,000 bathhouse construction proj-ect is part of the fiscal 2013 capital improve-ment budget submitted by the Commu-nity Services Department. Unless the Town Council removes it during budget delib-erations, construction could begin this fall.

“I think the town has a moral obligation to provide these kinds of facilities if we’re going to provide public parking and public beach area,” Community Services Director Bruce Gullifer said.

The bathhouse would be built near the public parking lot on Ocean Avenue, and would include changing rooms, bathrooms and an exterior rinse-off area. It would be open year-round to cater to the off-season demand of surfers and would be funded by a reserve account for beach projects.

That account is funded by the fee for beach access, and nearly always produces more money than the town spends on beach maintenance and projects. For example, the Higgins Beach parking lot was open 84 days last year. The $5 parking fee brought in nearly $23,000 in those weeks, while the town spent only about $8,750 to staff the lot.

Gullifer said preliminary plans were drawn up a year and a half ago, when the bathhouse was originally included in the construction of a public parking lot on Ocean Avenue land acquired by the town in 2010.

Beach fees to increase this summerSCARBOROUGH — Some beach-

goers might see an increase in beach access fees as early as this summer.

The proposed fiscal 2013 budget includes doubling the fee for one-day parking at Higgins Beach, from $5 to $10 per day. That puts Higgins at the same one-day price as the other two town-managed beaches, Pine Point and Ferry Beach.

Season passes to the town’s beaches will include all three beaches; in the past, Higgins Beach was not included.

Those passes are also slated to in-crease, from $30 to $35 for residents and from $60 to $65 for nonresidents.

Bruce Gullifer, director of Commu-nity Services, said the increases reflect the value of the beaches.

“We’ve added another beach for the combo pass, so we felt $35 was a fair price,” Gullifer said. “And Higgins Beach will now pay what all the other beaches pay. It keeps us all in line.”

— Mario Moretto

The parking lot was completed last summer, but the bathhouse was scrapped from the budget. Still, Gullifer said he’s optimistic it’ll pass muster this time around, especially since it won’t contribute to the tax bite.

Glennis Chabot – a member of the Hig-gins Beach Association and volunteer with Maine’s Healthy Beaches, an organization that monitors water quality at beaches along the state’s coast – said the association strongly supports the bathhouse project.

Chabot and her husband, Roger Chabot, who is president of the association, have distributed photos to town councilors and the press of beachgoers stripping to their skivvies along Ocean and Bayside avenues, in full view of residents. Reports of public urination at the beach have also persisted.

Chabot said she hopes the bathhouse will

not only put an end to those problems, but also make the beach more attractive. She said she fields a lot of phone calls about the beach every year because of her role in Maine’s Healthy Beaches.

“A lot of parents call and when they find out there aren’t any facilities, they don’t come here,” she said. “They have (these

facilities) at the other town beaches and they should have them here.”

Councilor Judy Roy, in a Finance Com-mittee meeting Tuesday, supported the bathhouse project.

“It’s going to go a long way to hopefully correcting some off the nudity issues, hope-fully,” Roy said. But she cautioned against seeing the bathhouse as a silver bullet.

“There are always going to be some peo-ple who don’t like to follow the rules, who think they’re improving the view,” she said.

Assuming the bathhouse project goes ahead, the town will have to tear down a cottage it owns on the property where the bathhouse would be built.

That also means the town will have to revisit a lease approved last summer with the Higgins Beach Inn that allows the inn to rent and manage the cottage and share the rent revenue.

Caitlin Jordan and Frank Governali.Gladys Road resident Philip Kaminsky

said the spending on the library project should be put to a public vote. McGovern noted the council vote in October is sub-ject to a recall vote by residents.

For that to happen, petitions with about 700 signatures would have to be submit-ted to Town Clerk Debra Lane no later than 30 days after the council vote. The October vote would not allow time for a recall question to be part of the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Run for clean water on Earth Day in PortlandBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — Southern Maine resi-dents have the chance to give back to the planet in a unique way this year on Earth Day.

The Interlocal Storm Water Working Group, a group representing 14 communi-ties, has joined forces with the Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation Dis-trict to put on the inaugural Urban Runoff 5k road race on April 21.

The race, which kicks off at 9 a.m. at Deering High School, will raise funds to support clean water education.

“We are using the race as a way to teach people about storm water runoff, where it flows and its impacts on local water bod-ies,” Sarah Plummer, education coordinator at the conservation district, said. “When it

rains, water leaves properties and picks up things as it flows.”

In urban areas like Portland, storm water runoff is a big problem because there are

Is your mower ready to mow?


You can’t take New Jersey out of the girlThis past weekend, I once again took my life in my

hands and drove south, through the maze of highways that leads to my homeland: New Jersey.

The first leg of our journey took us through southern Maine, a tiny sliver of coastal New Hampshire and then into Boston to pick up child No. 1 from her college abode.

The second leg (after a pit stop for cheap yet fill-ing Mexican food) took us through the driving hell that is southeastern Connecticut, over the Hudson River, and then through the woods to grandmother’s house in the “Garden State.”

I know, not many people from Maine believe New Jersey is home to anything edible. Had I not picked blueberries there as a child, and dined on Jersey-grown, scrumptiously tender and sweet corn on the cob, juicy red tomatoes and downy-skinned peaches, I, too, would have trouble believing this.

One of the things I’ve appreciated about Maine – in addition to its coast – is its lack of traffic. Now, I know true Mainers consider it a bad day when they have to wait

in back of three cars at a traffic light. They complain that “these days” it takes a whopping eight minutes instead of six to get into Portland from, say, Cape Elizabeth. And, as a group, they’d also rather drive in endless circles search-ing for a space than pay the $2 an hour to park at a local parking garage.

But these people clearly have no idea what real traffic is, and they have obviously never coughed up $25 to park for a handful of hours in Boston or New York.

When I first moved to the Portland area and paid a mere $3 to park while having a dinner date, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I couldn’t understand what all of the whining was about, and found myself feeling increasingly thankful for the perspective (and skills) I acquired grow-ing up in the tri-state New York metropolitan area.

For instance, when you learn to drive in northern New Jersey, it’s on par with having been thrown into the deep end of the pool by a cruel parent as a method for learning to swim; it’s “tough love,” but forever after you can drive fearlessly and confidently in any city, state (or on any racetrack) and never feel ill-prepared.

I witness my children learning to drive here in Maine and I fear their little heads will explode the first time that they venture into Boston. Or, heaven forbid, New York. I mean, those are crazy places to navigate and if the pinnacle of driving drama for you consists of Friday afternoon on Congress Street or coastal Route 1 at the height of tourist season, you’re probably not going to fare too well when driving into a proverbial lion’s den of

conditions and drivers so intimidating they could make your mother cry.

Now, I myself love to drive in slightly chaotic situ-ations. I find it exhilarating. It gives me an adrenaline rush. I’m in denial about this, however, until I do the N.J. trip, and then – boom! – I’m zipping in and out of traf-fic, braking, accelerating, mumbling thoughtfully chosen expletives at the gentleman who just kept me from reach-ing the light before it cycled to red, and generally having a disturbingly good time.

The longer I live in the relative calm that is Maine, the more I appreciate the opportunity to use my driving skills when I’m in more challenging landscapes. I inevitably experience that “Yes! I’ve still got it!” feeling, and find myself delighted by my inner Mario Andretti.

Like everything in life, it’s all about balance: the yin and yang. I moved north to escape the craziness. But late-ly, frequent injections of craziness seem more and more welcome. I still don’t relish getting stuck on the Tappan Zee Bridge for half an hour, but as the years go by, driv-ing to New Jersey for some corn has an increased appeal.

Closing of Stonyfield Cafe ‘a huge loss’

I was stunned and saddened to read of the sudden clos-ing of the Stonyfield Cafe. It was one of the first restau-rants my husband and I tried when we moved here in 2003. We were already delighted to learn of the great restaurants in Portland, and here was one that emphasized delicious, healthy food at a moderate price. What a great concept; we

were sold.It was the fa-

vorite place of our grandkids, who couldn’t get enough of the yummy flat-

bread, and I met friends many times there for lunch. It was sad when O’Naturals closed in the Old Port, but we assumed the one in Falmouth would weather the recession.

The closing is a huge loss for the community and for those of us who are fans of healthy eating. It’s a sad statement of the times when such a good restaurant can’t remain open. I’m bereft.

The end isn’t near!If you want to sit back in the comfort of your

own home and watch the long, slow, steady decline of America, I suggest you tune in to the National Geographic Channel and take a long hard look at “Doomsday Preppers.”

This new series focuses on people stockpil-ing, fortifying, and arming themselves against the Apocalypse, whether they see it coming in the form of economic collapse, political upheaval, nuclear disaster, comet strike, climate change, Mayan prophecy or Judgment Day.

Like a lot of the re-ality shows on televi-sion these days, there is a horrid fascination about “Doomsday Preppers” that is part “What’s wrong with these people?” and part “Well, at least they make me feel better about myself.” I suppose for paranoid per-sonalities fearing the worst, it just makes sense for survivalism to become a way of life, but it strikes me as a way of death. Sad. Truly sad.

There’s a kind of militant self-righteousness about folks who think the End Is Near, even more so if they expect to survive it. I guess it’s just a matter of being prepared, Boy Scouts gone bal-listic, but, honestly, why would anyone want to be among the handful of temporary survivors of an apocalyptic event?

Of course, preppers are not really prepared. They have no idea what is going to happen and when it does, they probably won’t know what hit them. Get all geared up to fight al-Qaida and get invaded by Martians.

To believe that the world is going to undergo a redefining cataclysm in one’s own lifetime is egocentric. It’s a failure of the imagination, the belief that the world ends when you do. My read-ing of the survivalist mindset is that preparing for the worst gives meaning to life where there might not otherwise be any. Nothing strange about that. People do it all the time with money, power,

success, material possessions, sex, alcohol, drugs, religion, art, you name it.

Personally, I just don’t believe the end is near, and if it is, I’m pretty sure that guns and ammo, canned good and ham radios are not going to save you. Should the End Time ever actually come, selflessness and self-sacrifice will be more in order than self-reliance and self-preservation. Wouldn’t you want to go out comforting and caring for oth-ers rather than taking pot-shots at your neighbors from your fortified bunker?

Selflessness, the surrender of the self, is at the heart of most major world religions. It’s what Jesus taught. It’s what the Buddha taught. Arming your-self against the enemy and hiding in a hole smacks of the bunker mentality of a Hitler or Saddam Hus-sein. It is not the behavior of an enlightened being.

Back in the 1950s, naive Americans by the tens of thousands built fallout shelters in their base-ments and backyards and we innocent schoolchil-dren practiced ducking under our desks as though that would protect us from a nuclear blast. The sense of impending doom that defined that Cold War era now defines the lives of preppers con-vinced there will soon be rioting in the streets and chaos across the land.

What amazes me is that they allow themselves to be filmed. Even if they’re not embarrassed by their obsession, you’d think they’d be concerned about secrecy and security.

Now, hard on the heels of “Doomsday Preppers” we also have the Discovery Channel’s “Doomsday Bunkers,” a kind of “Cribs” for crackpots and cave dwellers. The velocity with which the media can co-opt and capitalize on social dysfunction is truly astounding. I’m think about getting a bunker just to escape all the hoggers and loggers, hoarders and pickers, swamp folk and hillbilly handfishermen who have invaded cable television.

If ever there were an argument for the need for the Public Broadcasting Service, “Doomsday Prep-pers” is it. National Geographic should be ashamed to be associated with such exploitation.

Russell Edward Rogers, 52: Proud Marine and family manSCARBOROUGH — Russell Edward

Rogers, 52, died on March 31 after a long battle with cancer.

He was born in Portland on Dec. 27, 1959, a son of Frank Russell and Barbara Mae Witham Rogers.

After graduating from Greely High School in 1978, Rogers joined the U.S. Marine Corps and proudly served for 12 years. In 1979 he married his high school sweetheart, Cynthia Lynn Larrabee. His military assignments included Cherry Point, N.C., Camp Lejeune, N.C., MCAS El Toro and Japan.

For the last eight years Rogers has worked at Pape Chevrolet as a sales as-sociate.

He was a loving husband to his wife, a hero to his children and the best “Grampie” that his granddaughter, Hope, could ask for. He was a loving son and a wonderful brother to No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7. He was a loyal

friend to many.He had a way with words and knew

how to make people laugh. He made a lasting impression on this world and will be greatly missed by his friends and family.

Rogers liked collecting coins, riding

motorcycles, working on Olds 442s, antiquing with his best friend Harley, hunting and fishing, Saturdays with his granddaughter, Hope, and, most impor-tantly, spending time with his family and friends.

He was predeceased by his mother, Barbara Rogers. He is survived by his wife, Cindy, of Scarborough; daughters Amanda R. Rogers of Scarborough and Samantha N. Cleaves and her husband, Matthew, of Cumberland; son Jacob Rogers of Scarborough; father Frank of Cumberland; sisters Cande Frizzell

and her husband, Henry, of Standish, Cinde Tilton of Saco, Jodie Parrish and her husband, Charlie, of Milton, Vt., Vickie Darling and her husband, Adam, of Vallejo, Calif.; brothers Timothy Rog-ers and his wife, Virginia, of Gray and Brad Rogers and his wife, Elizabeth, of North Yarmouth; granddaughter Hope A. Cleaves of South Portland; and 15 nieces and nephews.

Visitation was held on April 10 at Conroy-Tully Crawford followed by a funeral service and military rites.

Winter 2011-12 Athletes of the YearBy Michael Hoffer

As usual, selecting the top male and female winter athletes from each school was a chal-lenge. While coaches and ath-letic directors were consulted, the ultimate decision was mine, based on seeing all or part of 106 sporting events since early De-cember. The following athletes weren’t always the most prolific performers or even necessarily in the spotlight, but I feel that each of them helped elevate their respective teams to greatness.

Congratulations to all of the winners!

Cape Elizabeth Capers2011-12 WinterMale Athlete of the YearNICK BREED, Senior-HockeyAccomplishments and citations* Western Class B all-star, first-

team* Western B Senior All-Star* Team captain

Breed was one of the state’s most prolific scorers this winter, scoring big goals from beginning to end.

The Cape Elizabeth native started playing hockey at a young age and joined the varsity team as a fresh-m a n . H e was a first-team all-star as a junior and tickled the twine 34 times this winter for a team which reached the Western Class B semifinals.

Highlights included clutch goals in early ties versus Scarborough and defending Class B state champion York. Breed had a goal and four assists against Leavitt, three goals and an assist versus Cheverus, two goals against Kennebunk, three against South Portland, two goals and two assists versus Camden Hills, three goals against Marsh-wood and the tying goal against Gardiner.

The Capers had high hopes

Spring Previewnext week

entering the playoffs, but the end came quickly at the hands of York in the semis. Breed finished his high school career with a goal in that one.

Breed, who also plays soccer and has played for the Casco Bay travel team, was once again named to the all-star team and took part in the Senior All-Star game. He also took part in drama and the Young Investors Club at Cape Elizabeth and has volun-teered with Goodwill and at a soup kitchen. He’s considering his college options. He wants to play hockey and study finance. He may play junior hockey for a year first.

Wherever Breed winds up, success is sure to follow. He wore a bulls-eye all season, but scored big goal after big goal.

Coach Bill LeBlond’s com-ment: “Nick had an outstanding year. He scored 40 percent of our goals. He plays the game of hockey with a lot of intensity which rubs off on his teammates. As captain, he led by example, whether working hard in practice or being vocal on game days..Scoring 34 goals in one year is a feat I don’t believe we’ll see again for awhile. He’s certainly one of the best players to ever put on a Cape Elizabeth hockey jersey.”2010-11 winner: Theo Bowe

Breed

girls’ swim team this winter.Homans, who’s father swam

at North Carolina, has been swimming competitively for five years. She came to Cape Eliza-beth from Camden this school year and made an immediate mark.

Homans turned heads as an individual and as part of relay teams and was at her best when the biggest meets arrived.

Homans helped Cape Eliz-abeth upset Greely and win Southwesterns by capturing the 100 backstroke and helping the 200 medley relay team to a first-place finish. At states, Homans was runner-up in the backstroke and finished fifth in the 500 free. She was also part of a runner-up medley relay and a third-place 200 free relay squad as the Capers placed third over-all.

Following the season, Homans earned a pair of first- and two second-team all-star mentions.

Homans swims almost every day, competes with the Coastal Maine Aquatics club team and is an avid sailor (even teaching the sport in the summer). She’d like to win a state title in the back-stroke and help the Capers win a team championship. She also has her eye on swimming in college.

There are a lot of exciting things in Homans’ future, but the good news in Cape Elizabeth is that she’ll be helping the Capers achieve great things over the next two years. If she keeps getting better, watch out.

Coach Ben Raymond’s com-ment: “Hannah was an unbe-lievable addition to our team this season. Not only is she an outstanding swimmer, but she’s also a great leader and manages to have a good time in the pool as well. She brings an outstand-ing attitude with her and it surely paid off with some excellent swims during the year. I look forward to having her for two more years and the great things that are to come for her.”2010-11 winner: Emily Donovan

James grew up in Scarborough and started vaulting in the eighth grade, having been encour-aged by his brother, Orin. He admits he was scared at first, but soon discovered it was fun and it wasn’t long until he was dominant.

J a m e s was fourth indoors a y e a r a g o and honed his craft at the Sloven-sk i Camp last summer. This winter, he consistently soared higher than the rest.

James vaulted 11 feet, 6 inches to win the league cham-pionship title. At states, he took first with a top vault of 12-6, which helped give Scarborough the championship.

James also qualified for states in the hurdles and the 400. He will vault outdoors and also runs cross-country.

James hopes to eventually clear 14 feet. He’s played the cello for 11 years and is a member of Scarborough’s Quid-ditch Club. He wants to vault in college and is considering his options.

Look for this young man to consider to soar above the rest. James simply keeps raising the bar.

Coach Derek Veilleux’s com-ment: “Alec was the one athlete we could count on for a win in every meet and he did it every time out in the pole vault. He was a top five scorer for us all

Homans

season long, scoring valuable points during the regular and postseason. The coaching staff has always seen his potential. He’s a talented athlete in several events. This winter, we saw a positive attitude chance as he was committed to excellence, more focused and prepared.”2010-11 winner: Mike Cyr

Andrea Giddings. She also hopes to be in the top 25 in New England in cross country and to get her CNA before graduating. Pan wants to run at a Division I or II school in New England and plans to study nursing.

Catch her show while you still can. It’s not often an athlete this talented and well rounded comes around.

Coach Karen Reardon’s comment:“I’ve worked for two years to get Nyajock to come out for indoor and finally this year, she decided to do it. I think she had a pretty good first year. She was outstanding all season long. She also excelled at the relays this winter and was on the teams the broke school records twice. She hates to lose and is willing to give her very best effort for the benefit of the team. I think she sets a great example. In a nutshell, she’s a very versatile runner with a great attitude. She’s a leader on and off the track and is a lot of fun to coach and to have on the team.”2010-11 winner: Abby Hasson (Basketball)2009-10 winner: Danielle DiBiase (Bas-

Coaches of the YearCoach of the Year is another very difficult

award to bestow. There are so many devoted and excellent ones out there.

These awards were not necessarily awarded to a man and a woman, but to the top coach of a boys’ team and the top coach of a girls’ team.

soccer state final, but she soon returned to form and came up big in February as the Red Storm continued to rule the SMAA and state.

At the conference meet, Tolman finished first in the open 600, 800 and long jump. At states, where Scarborough came in first for the eighth year in a row, Tolman was second in the long jump and placed third in the 400. She capped her year by coming in fourth in the 600 at New Englands.

Tolman’s sister, Andrea, is also part of the track program. Emily describes their relationship as “very competitive.” Tolman likes to draw, volunteers at Scarborough Terrace, took part in the academic decath-lon and is a member of Scarborough’s Quidditch Club. She will attend Colby Col-lege next year, where she’ll run and study studio art and psychology.

This young lady has been quite a suc-cess on and off the track. That figures to continue at the next level.

Coach Ron Kelly’s comment: “Emily is a very dedicated athlete, respected by the younger athletes, willing to help younger runners. She’s someone I can ask to do whatever is needed by the team. She’s done many different events, works to be the best she can be, encourages her twin sister and has been a big-meet competitor.“2010-11 winner: Emilia Scheemaker (In-

South Portland Red Riots2011-12 Winter MaleAthlete of the YearCHAD MACWHINNIESenior-SwimmingAccomplishments and citations* Most Valuable Swimmer* Team captain

MacWhinnie has been a steady four-year performer in the pool for the Red Riots and had a solid senior campaign.

MacWhinnie started swimming in middle school, taking to the sport right away. He honed his skills with the Pine Tree Swim Club and has emerged as one of the top free-stylers, who is also adept in other disci-plines. After scoring at states in the back-stroke and 200 free as a junior, he capped his high school career in style.

This winter, MacWhinnie came in third in the 100 free at Southwesterns. At the state meet, he finished seventh in the 100 free. MacWhinnie was named the team’s top swimmer and certainly made an impact on his teammates.

MacWhinnie swims year-round, any-where from 1.5 to 5 hours a day, six days a week. He also plays ultimate frisbee and will attend Gannon University in Erie, Penn., where he’ll swim and study software engineering.

MacWhinnie kept getting better during his high school career and made the most of his opportunities. He’s primed for more success at the next level.

Coach Rob Card’s comment: “Chad is a very talented swimmer who can swim all the strokes very well. As a freshman, he experienced a lot of success and this caused him to really focus on swimming. He decided to swim during the offseason through the YMCA program, which made him a total swimmer with experience. This year, he battled a bad shoulder, but still performed at a very high level. It has been

a real pleasure to coach him.”2010-11 winner: Tommy Ellis (Hockey)2009-10 winner: Zach Horton (Hockey)2008-09 winner: Keegan Hyland (Basket-

ability. Beyond being great on the track, she’s a very well rounded and impressive young lady.

After moving to South Portland from Portland in time for the seventh grade, Pan quickly emerged as a top runner and her reputation preceded her to high school. She was named Fall Ath-lete of the Year after a solid cross country season and this winter, gave up basketball to run indoor track. It proved to be a very good decision.

Pan was consistently near the top in the distance events all season and impressed in the postseason. She set new school records in the 800 and the mile. She also was part of a new school record-setting 800 relay team. At the SMAA meet, Pan was second by .56 of a second in the 800 and came in fifth in the mile. At states, she managed a third place finish in both the 800 and the mile, results she called “better than expected.” Pan capped the season by finish-ing 19th in the 1,000 at the New England championships.

Pan’s hoping to win the 800 outdoors and get her mile time under 5 minutes, 8 seconds, the school record, which is held by

20 years ago, John Marr was a very busy executive with three children. A self-proclaimedType A personality, the then 42-year-old typically worked seven 10-12 hour days each weekand felt that nothing could stop him. One day at work, he began to feel clammy, like therewas a knot in his chest, and had a general feeling of malaise. He let a co-worker know andquickly called 911. Even as he was being taken by stretcher, he made sure they had his brief-case! Doctors discovered he had a blocked artery and that his condition was likely caused bystress. Despite a few health scares since then including a transient ischemic attack (TIA) andpulmonary embolisms following a surgery, John is doing well. He now enjoys his work and isalso determined to keep up with his four grandkids. He believes having a new approach tostress has helped him stay healthy.

year in a row, while the boys’ squad has now won two out of three.

This year, things didn’t come quite as easily for the Red Storm, as they had to rally in the last event to eke out a one-point decision over Deering. In a total team ef-fort, Scarborough got the job done and much of the credit has to go to coach Derek Veilleux.

Veilleux isn’t just an excellent coach of a top-notch program. He’s also one of the sport’s biggest propo-nents. In light of the job he’s done with the program and how dramatic this champi-onship season was, Derek Veilleux is The Forecaster’s choice for our Winter 2011-12 Southern edition Coach of the Year, of a boys’ team.

Veilleux was also honored in 2009.Veilleux grew up in Fairfield and was

a running specialist at Lawrence High School. He also ran at the University of Southern Maine. He got into coaching in 2001 with the Scarborough recreation pro-gram. He served as an indoor assistant for two years, then became head coach for the 2003-04 season. Ever since, the Red Storm have been at or near the top of Class A.

This year’s team lacked the big name scorers of years past, but Veilleux and his assistants were able to develop the roster to the point that Scarborough’s depth proved to be too much to overcome.

The Red Storm needed a little luck too and got it at states when, on the 800 relay, the final event of the day, it needed to win and get a Deering disqualification and got exactly that.

Veilleux also coaches the Scarborough outdoor track team and Cape Elizabeth’s boys’ cross country squad.

Expect the good times to continue in Scarborough. There’s no shortage of talent in place and with the program under the guidance of Veilleux, our Winter boys’ team Coach of the Year, additional hardware figures to follow.2010-11 winner: Jim Ray (Cape Elizabeth

Winter 2011-12 Southern edition Coach of the Year -Girls’ TeamTOM MAINESScarborough Basketball

To rebound from a six-win season, the Scarborough girls’ basketball program needed a magic touch.

The Red Storm went out and got it, in the form of a magician in a red coat, otherwise known as one of the state’s coaching leg-ends, Tom Maines.

Maines, who had almost no experience coaching girls, came to town and led Scarborough to 17 regular season victories and a pair of come-from-behind playoff triumphs before the run finally ended in the regional final.

Maines showed that his approach can work any time, anywhere, with any gender as he got the Red Storm to believe and improve until they were one step from the state final. For the masterful job he did this season, Tom Maines is The Forecaster’s choice for our Winter 2011-12 Southern edition Coach of the Year, of a girls’ team.

Maines attended Erskine Academy and the University of Maine, where he played football, basketball, golf and baseball. He began his teaching and coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Cony in 1968. He coached at Unity, Noble, Mexico (where he took the boys’ basketball team to the West-ern Maine Final) and Waterville (where he won the program’s first tournament game in 16 years) before spending a dozen years at Morse, leading the Shipbuilders to the Class A state title in 1987, 1988, 1989, a three-year run unrivaled in Maine history. Maines then left coaching and mentored and worked at camps.

Veilleux

In the winter of 2010-11, Maines felt bored and entertained the notion of return-ing to the bench. After coaching in China last summer, he learned of the Scarborough opening and decided to go for it.

“I had done a clinic with (former Red Storm coach) Jim Seavey last year,” said Maines. “I liked how the girls responded. Scarborough has great facilities. Female athletes here are driven to be the best they can be.”

Another incentive for Maines was being able to hire his wife Rita (who has several years of varsity girls’ coaching experience) as an assistant.

Scarborough had won the 2010 Class A state championship in undefeated fash-ion, but graduation and injury had short-circuited the 2011 season. While the Red Storm was expected to be improved this winter, no one thought it would win its first 11 games (several in dramatic, comeback fashion, foreshadowing what would come in February) or after a loss to McAuley, win the next six.

Scarborough earned the No. 2 seed in Western A, but faced double-digit second half deficits to Cheverus in the quarterfi-nals and Marshwood in the semis before somehow coming back to win both games in the final minute. The fun ended with a loss to McAuley, but this season was one of unexpected triumph and myriad thrills.

“It was an unexpected and wonderful year,” said Maines, who now has 373 vic-tories in his high school coaching career. “I wasn’t sure how the girls would respond,


but they had a great attitude. We had 49 practices and I can count on one hand the number of practices I didn’t like. We want to stay at the top of the pecking order, but it will be difficult.”

Maines, who considers Ron Kenoyer, Dick Whitmore, Artie Dyer and recently retired Cheverus coach Bob Brown as influences on his coaching, has a simple approach.

“I know the game of basketball,” he said. “I know how I want movement. I want a flow for kids to be able to use anywhere. Read and react.”

Maines, 65, hopes to continue coaching for awhile, joking he’ll do it until, “Rita wants to take over.” He lives in Brunswick and has six kids.

Fans of the sport can only hope he sticks around for awhile. Tom Maines, our Winter 2012 girls’ Coach of the Year, still has the magic touch.2010-11 winner: Chris Roberts (Cape Eliza-

SMCC standout golfer commits to D2 program

Courtesy Kendra reiChert Southern Maine Community College golfer Tommy Stirling, the USCAA golf champion,

signs his National Letter of Intent Wednesday afternoon to attend and play golf at Southwestern Oklahoma State, a Division II school in Weatherford, Okla. Stirling (joined

by, from left, his parents, Craig and Debbie, along with SMCC athletic director, Matt Richards), said his dream is to play at least one event on the PGA Tour. He plans to study

marketing. “(Golf) is my passion,” said Stirling, a Gorham resident. “I went on-line to search for colleges, found the school and sent them an e-mail. They invited me there and I liked it. Being at SMCC has been great.” “(Tommy’s) so dedicated it’s scary,” said SMCC golf coach Tom Cloutier. “He always stays on the course and works on his game. I knew

he’d go on to bigger and better things. It’s great for the program.” “It’s an exciting day for SMCC athletics and for Tommy,” added Richards. “You can see his impact on the SMCC community. He’s a local kid who flew under the radar, came here and blossomed into an outstanding young man. It talks about the credibility of the program. He’ll do a great job

representing (Southwestern Oklahoma State) just as he did here.”

Out & About

Kris Delmhorst in PortlandBy Scott Andrews

A choice of excellent musical opportuni-ties beckons this weekend. My top picks are a pair of female singer-songwriters plus a pair of topnotch classical concerts.

Singer-songwriter Kris Delmhorst has been making waves in the Boston music scene for more than 15 years. She’s visit-ing Portland’s One Longfellow Square on Friday.

Singer-songwriter Heather Pierson has been making waves in Western Maine and the White Mountains in recent years. She has two gigs coming up in Portland.

The biggest classical musical organiza-tion in town is the Portland Symphony Orchestra, which will be performing on Sunday with a program titled “Bruckner, Beethoven and More.”

Portland String Quartet wraps up its 2011-2012 season on Sunday with a varied program that includes a frequent PSQ col-laborator, pianist Laura Kargul.

Kris DelmhorstFew cities on earth can boast a more

vibrant music scene than Boston, with its myriad coffeehouses and small concert venues scattered throughout the city and suburbs. Since 1996 one of the stars of the Hub’s musical community has been singer-songwriter Kris Delmhorst. This Friday she’s motoring into Portland for a concert at One Longfellow Square.

Boasting a fine soprano voice and first-rate writing skills – both melody and lyrics – Delmhorst has released nine CDs of her own music over the past 15 years. She’s quite versatile, equally at home with soft, delicate solo numbers accompanied by herself on acoustic guitar, or rocking out with an electric and percussive sound with her band. “Damn Love Song” is a fine

Contributed

example of the former, while “Hurricane” exemplifies the latter.

I’m also a big admirer of her “Yellow Brick Road,” which uses the imagery of the famous tale of the “Wizard of Oz” to explain and explore a troubled romantic relationship. I’m also very impressed that anyone would dare tackle that theme and title in light of the Elton John-Bernie Tau-pin mega-hit with a similar moniker. But Delmhorst carries it off with aplomb.

Although she’s made her mark with a string of hits as a singer-songwriter, Delm-horst is also very comfortable covering hits written and first performed by others. Ex-amples range from “Tracks of My Tears,” so redolent of the 1960s, to her newest project, “Cars,” her 10th album.

“Cars” is not automotive in any way; it’s a CD devoted entirely to covering songs by The Cars, an iconic Boston rock group of the 1970s and 1980s.

Kris Delmhorst visits One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland, at 8 p.m. April 13. Call 761-1757.

Heather PiersonUp in the Fryeburg-Bethel area of West-

ern Maine and all over the White Mountains of New Hampshire, singer-songwriter Heather Pierson has been performing in all sorts of venues in various formats, from solo appearances to gigs with her own four-man band.

I’ve run into her quite a few times up in ski country, and have always enjoyed her writing and singing. In 2010 I attended her CD release party for “Make it Mine,” her first album, and I’m particularly partial to the title song, a rousing anthem of youth-ful optimism and self-confidence. Not surprisingly, soon after the release she quit her day job to concentrate on writing and

performing.She’s got another CD coming out soon,

titled “Open Road,” largely inspired by a couple of transcontinental trips over the past year. Now back in New England, Pierson has two gigs in Portland coming up, and I hope to catch at least one.

The first is April 13 at Andy’s Old Port Pub, 94 Commercial St., while the second is April 16 at Flask Lounge, 117 Spring St. Both gigs are with bassist Shawn Nadeau and both are at 9 p.m. The phone for Andy’s is 874-2639. Flask Lounge is 772-3122.

Portland Symphony OrchestraSwitching to the classical side of the

musical ledger, the biggest show in town this weekend is the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s Sunday concert, titled “Bruck-ner, Beethoven and More.” Like most of the Sunday classical series, music director Robert Moody’s selections tend toward the light and light-hearted, usually scored for mid-sized musical forces.

The former composer, Anton Bruckner, is represented by three short pieces for orchestra, characterized by PSO program annotator Mark Rohr as “light in spirit.”

The “more” in the title refers to a pair of works. First is by contemporary Argen-tinean composer Osvaldo Golijov. It’s a co-commission of the PSO – along with almost three dozen other orchestras – that bears the title of “Sidereus,” a reference to the astronomical revelations of Galileo. It was written as a tribute to Henry Fogel, the longtime president of the League of Ameri-can Orchestras. The second “more” refers to Ralph Vaughn Williams’ “Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis,” another piece with a throw-back facet.

Ludwig van Beethoven is represented by his Symphony No. 4. Standing in stark con-trast to its monumental and darkly revolu-tionary successor symphony (No. 5), Rohr

describes this work as “irrepressibly sunny.”Catch the Portland Symphony Orchestra

at 2:30 p.m. April 15 at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Portland String QuartetMoving down Maine’s classical size

scale, the Portland String Quartet wraps up its 2011-2012 subscription season this Sunday with a concert that features a long-time collaborator, pianist Laura Kargul of Freeport.

The PSQ, comprising violinists Stephen Kecskemethy and Ron Lantz plus violist Julia Adams and cellist Paul Ross, has been a fixture of southern Maine since 1969. Kargul has been a piano prof at the Univer-sity of Southern Maine School of Music for about two decades.

The first piece on the program is Wolf-gang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Quartet in E Flat, a 1785 work that drops one violin-ist from the normal lineup. Then Lantz and Kargul are the only performers in the second item on the program, Jacques de la Presle’s Sonata for Violin and Piano. De la Presle was an early 20th-century French composer who has been almost totally forgotten. This 1921 piece, which Lantz characterizes as a “hidden gem,” has been featured on a couple of duet concerts that he and Kargul have played over the past few years.

The PSQ continues to perform as a non-quartet. Again dropping one violin part, the season finale will be Johannes Brahms’ “Piano Quartet in A Major,” a difficult and demanding work of many moods.

Catch the Portland String Quartet at 2 p.m. April 15 at Immanuel-Williston Church, 156 High St. (a change in venue from previously published schedules). Call the LARK Society at 761-1522.

Who would have thought getting dirt under your fingernails would ever be considered one of the hottest trends going? According to Doug Jimerson, garden core director for Better Homes and Gardens, “growing your own fruits, veggies and herbs is something Ameri-

Home ImprovementSpringTime to grow for it: Homegrown on your own

cans are doing in record numbers this season.”

“It’s cheaper to grow your own pro-duce than buy it - one $3 tomato plant will yield pounds of produce all season long,” Jimerson says. “Plus, the pro-duce you grow just tastes better than

even your grocer’s best. And while it’s healthy to eat and grow your own, gar-dening is rapidly gaining popularity as a great way to get some exercise, relieve stress and spend healthful family bond-ing time.”

Eating foods grown in your own back-yard means you won’t be contributing to the carbon footprint left behind by the “food miles” it takes to bring imported produce to your local grocers - so you’re helping the environment, too.

Growing vegetables is easier than you think. Plan it properly, and you can en-joy a healthy, homegrown harvest from the fruits of your labor - without having to spend hours tending it.

Gardening 101

Sunshine is sustenance - Vegetables need at least six hours of full sun per day. The easiest thing to do is to place your garden in full sunlight. Make sure it’s easily accessible for watering; if

Grow for it!from previous page

Home ImprovementSpring

There’s nothing like enjoying the fruits of your own garden!

the garden is too far from your house it could get neglected. Check the last frost date in your region and wait until threat of frost is past before you begin planting.

No yard necessary - Gardening doesn’t require a lot of room - al-though if you have the space and time to go large, go for it!. Many popular vegetables and herbs grow just fine in containers, making them a great op-tion for those with limited space. For smaller yards, raised beds are an easy, low-maintenance option. If your garden is going right into the ground, just turn the earth with a shovel, toss out roots and rocks, mix in a soil amendment for healthy soil, and plant.

Water relief - Water regularly, but avoid doing so during the heat of the day when evaporation will diminish the effectiveness of irrigation. Water to wet the soil about 8 inches deep, but don’t over-water.

Feed your food - All edible plants draw nutrients from the ground, and can quickly exhaust the soil without the help of a fertilizer. Always follow label directions.

Growing for it

Now that you’ve got an idea of the basics, it’s time to pick your plants.

Start with transplants - seedlings are way easier to get growing than seeds, so you’ll save loads of time and enjoy improved success. Fortunately, national purveyors like Bonnie Plants make it

easy to find hardy, high-quality, region-ally appropriate plants at your local garden retailers. Bonnie offers time-tested vegetable and herb favorites, as well as new varieties, in eco-friendly, biodegradable pots that not only reduce plastic waste in landfills, they reduce transplant shock. Simply tear off the bottom of the pot and set the whole thing - plant in pot - directly into the ground. Be sure to pay close attention to plant tags, they’re packed with facts and details to help you successfully grow your plants.

Here are some favorites to consider for your garden:

* Tomatoes - The most popular, most-grown vegetable, tomatoes are always a best bet. Disease-resistant Bonnie Original is a hardy, flavorful addition to any backyard garden. For containers or small spots, try Sweet n’ Neat, a prolific plant that sets fruit in grape-like clusters.

* Basil - The perfect complement to tomatoes, basil works well in gardens and containers. New Greek Columnar Basil is particularly bountiful, as it grows high, leafs out densely and rarely flowers. The flavor blends traditional

basil with spicy overtones of cinnamon, allspice and cloves.

* Bell peppers - Versatile, flavorful and nutritious, bell peppers are great raw snacks and make an awesome ingredient for a variety of cuisines. Harvest pep-pers when they’re green or red when the vitamin levels are higher.

* Eggplant - Black Beauty is the quintessential eggplant with a deep pur-ple, glossy skin and meaty texture, and thrives in hot weather. White-skinned varieties like Cloud Nine offer a sweeter, bitter-free flesh.

* Mints - Easy-to-grow mints are available in traditional spearmint and peppermint and in more exotic flavors like Bonnie Plant’s new apple mint, orange mint and even chocolate mint, which has a flavor that echoes the clas-sic Girl Scout cookie.

Hefty harvest - The general rule: If it looks good enough to eat, it probably is. With many vegetables, the more you pick, the more the plant will produce. For more gardening tips, ideas and ad-vice, visit www.bonnieplants.com.


Bridgefrom page 4

ANDREW CULLEN / THE FORECASTER A crane finishes unloading construction materials from a barge between the old Veterans Memorial

Bridge from Portland to South Portland and the new bridge, currently under construction, on Monday afternoon.

S.P. Budgetfrom page 4

The new bridge, which was designed with a lifespan of 100 years, will be a more visible feature of the cities it links than the old one, Portland Public Services Director Michael Bobinsky said.

Where the old bridge connected to the end of the Fore River Parkway near West Commercial Street on the Portland side, the new one meets the parkway slightly to the north in a three-way intersection that he said will make the parkway a more popular and efficient entry point to the city.

The construction process, too, has been efficient, with the project “on time and on budget,” said Jeraldine Herrera, a spokes-woman for the bridge project.

“It’s a segmental job, like a Lego set,” said Dustin Littlefield, the assistant

try to trim the increase to about 3 percent, or about $265,000.

“We came to an operating budget of 2.2

project manager for contractor Reed & Reed. “Everything has kind of gone as expected.”

With three months to go before the span opens, the major structural work of the bridge is finished. But construction crews still have to install concrete curbs and handrails and pave the surface, Littlefield said. A retaining wall on the approach to the bridge from South Portland is also still in progress, he said.

After opening the new bridge this sum-mer, contractors will have until the end of the year to remove the old one.

As the final pieces are set in place, project crews hope to keep traffic flowing around the bridges as smoothly as pos-sible, Littlefield said, although the Route 1 ramp in South Portland will be closed from Monday, April 16 to Friday, May 4.

percent that we were comfortable with,” said School Board member Richard Carter. “I’m not comfortable lumping the first high school interest payment in.”

If the proposed budget were approved by the City Council and residents, it would result in a 50-cent increase in the schools’

Lawsuitfrom page 1


Court over the 35-year-old practice of allowing councilors to opt into the city’s employee health care insurance pool. DiMillo and others argue that the City Charter, which limits councilor compen-sation to $3,000 a year, makes no provi-sion for health care benefits.

Last fiscal year, the city spent more than $50,000 to insure Councilors Max-ine Beecher, Tom Coward, Tom Blake and former Councilor Jim Hughes. The proposed 2013 budget includes about $34,000 in councilor health insurance for Blake, Coward and the remainder of Beecher’s final year (she must leave of-fice this fall because of term limits).

If all seven councilors took the full-family benefit this year, it would cost the city $106,000 or more and cost the councilors nothing.

DiMillo and Gary Crosby, a resident who organized a petition urging council-ors to stop taking the health care benefit, said they met with Mayor Patti Smith and Dagget on March 27. Together, they said, the four drafted the dismissal document

in hope the full council would accept it at its next meeting.

On April 2, the council went into ex-ecutive session to discuss the proposal and left that night without putting the issue to a vote, indicating that Smith and Daggett were unable to convince at least four councilors to accept it.

DiMillo said he originally offered to drop the lawsuit only if the city ended councilor health insurance. “In my mind, I’ve given up 99 percent of the issue, but they still disagreed,” he said.

Neither Daggett nor Smith responded to requests for comment this week.

Councilor Rosemarie De Angelis, who has been a critic of the health benefit, declined to discuss what happened during the executive session.

But De Angelis said she’s frustrated the lawsuit is preventing the council from having the public conversation necessary to address questions about councilor health care.

Maine law allows governmental bod-ies to privately discuss issues involving pending litigation. Councilors are not

required to disclose what happens in executive session.

But when De Angelis brought the issue to councilors late last year, before Di-Millo filed the lawsuit, residents caught a glimpse of where the councilors stand.

At that point, the city consulted an outside attorney, William Plouffe, who said allowing councilors to opt into the employee health care program is illegal under the City Charter. Daggett had said there was nothing in the charter prohibit-ing councilor health insurance, and thus it was not illegal.

The council was divided on whether to move forward. De Angelis wanted the policy gone, and Smith argued it created a “tiered” system under which some councilors cost the taxpayers more than others. Both agreed it was the council’s responsibility to address the issue.

The councilors enrolled in city insur-ance at the time – Beecher, Blake, Cow-ard and Hughes – resisted any action, saying it should be up to residents to push the issue if they wanted it changed. Coward proposed doing nothing, relying on Daggett’s assessment that nothing il-legal was taking place.

On Monday, during a council work-

shop, De Angelis urged the council to re-move the city councilors’ insurance from the proposed fiscal 2013 budget. She said it is unethical to spend money on costs that couldn’t be justified publicly.

“We have to be able to talk about this. We can’t fund something we can’t talk about,” De Angelis said. “If someone wants to say we can’t talk about it be-cause we have a lawsuit going, then I’d say we need to get rid of it.”

Crosby said he’s upset the council didn’t sign the dismissal agreement, but that he’d still like DiMillo to drop the lawsuit.

“Once it’s dropped, (councilors) no longer have the secrecy of executive ses-sion to hide behind,” he said Wednesday. “I’d love to see the lawsuit dropped, so we can go after them in public and make them answer questions.”

“They are now going to spend taxpay-er’s money to end up in court and fight it, which is a shame,” he said.

No councilors supported De Angelis’ proposal to remove the health care spend-ing from the budget.

share of the tax rate, from $10.15 per $1,000 of property value to $10.65 per $1,000.

The School Board will meet again with the City Council in a workshop on April 23. After that, the City Council will vote on the school budget on May 7, before a scheduled citywide referendum on May 15.

Many board members said they wouldn’t be willing to cut a single line out of the budget. Others said they’d defend their increases at the April 23 workshop, but recognized cuts would have to be made.

School Board member Sara Goldberg cautioned against appearing too stubborn.

“We’re saying, ‘We want this, we want this,’ but we’re going to have to come back at this again. It feels like we’re prolonging the inevitable,” she said. “I feel like, in good faith, we should come back and try to say, ‘Yes, there are a few things on here we could do without.’”

The two nonvoting board members, SPHS students Lizzy Canarie and Jackson Beck, also said the board should take a more responsive stance to councilors’ request.

“If residents see that (3.78) percent bud-get, they’re going to be furious,” Canarie

said. “So if we want to move forward with our 2.2 percent increase, there’s a lot more education that needs to go on, because people aren’t going to accept it.”

Board Chairman Tappan Fitzgerald said he would stand with other members in defending their budget, but said the board needs to be prepared to present a convinc-ing case to a City Council wary of voters who may be hawkish on the school budget.

If they don’t convince councilors on April 23, he said, the board would have only two weeks to amend the budget before the May 7 council vote, or risk having the council strike down the budget and force a resched-uling of the referendum.

“At the end of that meeting, if that num-ber isn’t going to work, we’re going to have to go back. We need the City Council to approve our budget,” he said. “We really need to make a case to sell this, a good solid case. If we don’t, we’re going to be doing a solid amount of work in a really short amount of time.”

Two years later, Teale wrote to Ari So-lotoff, then the executive director of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, to explore the possibility of using her background in musical administration as a volunteer. That letter resulted in a meeting with So-lotoff which, in turn, led to her involve-

Alleged burglar found hiding in crawlspace in S. PortlandBy Mario Moretto

SOUTH PORTLAND — A suspected drug thief and another man were arrested Sunday afternoon after police allegedly found them hiding in a tight, cluttered crawlspace.

“They were playing hide and seek, but they lost,” Sgt. Steve Webster said Monday.

Police said they were called Sunday around 2:20 p.m. by a neighbor who al-legedly saw a man climb into a second-floor apartment at 919 Broadway, at the intersection of North Kelsey Street. The witness reportedly saw the same man

leave the apartment via a set of stairs at the rear of the building, and told police the suspect lived on the third floor.

Five officers responded and were told by the tenants of the second-floor apart-ment that prescription medication was missing from their medicine cabinet.

Police said they heard people in the third floor, but couldn’t get them to open the door. After obtaining a warrant, the officers entered the apartment and ini-tially found no one inside.

That’s when one of the officers noticed

SparksSplude

a few small crawlspaces on the other side of a bedroom wall. After clearing out some loose wood, a television set and more items in storage, officers found Rourke Sparks, 26, who lives in the apartment.

They also found Derrick Splude, 27, of South Portland, hiding in the crawlspace under a tarp.

“The officers were just doing a really thorough sweep,” Webster said.

Sparks was arrested on charges of Class B burglary and theft, and Splude was charged with refusing to submit to arrest and possession of drugs. Both men were taken to Cumberland County Jail.

The charges against Splude were later dropped. Sparks remained in jail Mon-day, pending $10,000 cash bail.

ment as a volunteer for the PSO for the last few years.

“I help do whatever needs doing,” she said. “Stuffing envelopes, ringing up subscribers to get renewals, contacting other volunteers.”

Teale fondly recalled the time when she was asked to drive Christopher Warren-Green, a noted British violinist and conductor, from the Morning Clas-sical Music Show (with Suzanne Nance) back to Portland.

“He was glad to see another English person, and he remembered me from 30 years before when he played in a chamber music concert when I was the orchestra manager,” said Teale, who tends to identify herself as British after spend-ing 55 years in England.

“After the PSO concert, he gave me a kiss,” she said, laughing.

Teale is enthusiastic about Robert Moody, the PSO’s musical director since 2008. “He’s the best thing that ever hap-

pened to us,” she said. She is also thrilled with the PSO’s KinderKonzerts program, which introduces children to live sym-phonic music through interactions with PSO musicians.

Now approaching the end of her eighth decade, Teale had some sound advice to share with young people: “Try to find a focus; give yourself time to think; and always remember who you are.”

She might also have added, “and never live without a dog.”

Earth Dayfrom page 7

more surfaces – paved roads and rooftops – that do not soak up the water; as water flows across these surfaces it picks up pol-lutants, including fertilizer, dog waste and contaminated soil, and washes them into local water sources.

Race organizers picked Deering High School as their start/finish because of its visibility and because it is an area of con-cern in regard to urban runoff. The school lies in the Capisic Stream watershed and Greener Neighborhoods, Cleaners Streams is working hard to clean up the stream.

The race starts at the high school and

winds through Portland and onto a section of the Portland Trail behind Evergreen Cemetery before popping back out onto Stevens Avenue and finishing back at the high school.

At the finish, runners will be greeted by the Green Neighbors Family Fest, an Earth Day extravaganza including educational activities on alternative energy and forestry, “Earth Jams” with Brunswick musician Matt Loosigan, “Ecology Takes the Stage” performed by the Ferry Beach Ecology School, and a children’s obstacle course.

New and innovative technologies will be used during the race and festival to help keep things as green as possible. The city will debut its new waste and recycling sorting program, and racers can purchase

T-shirts made from 100 percent recycled soda bottles.

“As a group we have a lot of know-how when it comes to doing things green,” Plummer said.

In addition to the T-shirts, racers will also be able to give back to the planet with their bib numbers. Each bib is made from print-able seed paper; runners can plant the bibs and enjoy the blossoms of native black-eyed Susans.

The race already has almost 300 regis-tered runners and walkers and organizers hope to reach 500 by race day, Sunday, April 22.

“Our race director tells us that typically 40 percent of people register on race day, but that is weather dependent,” Plummer

said. “We are hoping we will be at 500 if it is good weather.”

With all of those runners, the Urban Run-off 5k needs more volunteers. Most of the tasks, according to Plummer, will only take up a couple of hours. Volunteers are needed to man water stops, recycling and waste stations and flag participants on the course.

“We chose the date to coincide with Earth Day and volunteering would be a great way to give back to the earth.”

Pre-race registration costs $15. Race-day registration costs $20 and begins at 7:45 a.m. For more information and for race or volunteer registration visit the race website.

owner.Most residents addressed only the School

Department portion of the budget. Support-ers agreed with Superintendent of Schools George Entwistle III’s claim that the $37.8 million school budget is necessary to “stop the deterioration” of education in Scarborough, which has had several years

of flat or reduced budgets.The proposed school budget cuts about

$1.3 million from Entwistle’s original $39.2 million request.

“It’s not possible to continue to have an expectation of excellence if we’re not go-ing to support it with the resources that are needed,” resident Michelle Arpin said.

One resident even threatened to take his tax dollars elsewhere if the town doesn’t support the School Board proposal.

“If this budget isn’t passed, I’m willing to

move into a different area where residents are willing to support their school system through taxes,” William Bly said.

With the exception of Council Chairman Ronald Ahlquist, councilors said nothing during the hour-long forum. Ahlquist said the meeting was meant for residents to tell councilors what they thought, not the other way around.

The School Board’s original budget pro-posal of $39.2 million represented a 9.86 percent increase over the current year, and a 16.1 percent increase in the tax contribu-tion. Since then, the board has trimmed the budget by eliminating an elementary school position, reducing the line for books and supplies, holding the line on the athletics budget, and replacing one bus instead of two, among other cuts.

DaviD Harry / THe ForecasTerSpurwink Rod & Gun Club President Mark

Mayon said the club, with about 300 members, wants to be a good neighbor, but the neighbors

must also recognize the club’s right to exist.

“safety conditions” at the club’s gun range came from local lawyer Jamie Wagner, who told councilors he represents a client living in the Cross Hill neighborhood.

The client remains anonymous, but Wag-ner said more neighbors are expected to be heard from.

He said closing the club is not their goal.“That is just straight wrong. That is not

the intent here, its about safety,” Wagner told councilors.

Club President Mark Mayon disputed the assertion in his response to councilors and after the meeting.

“When (Wagner’s) letter is read, there is no way that anyone could think anything else,” Mayon said.

Mayon said the club, with about 300 members, predates much of the home construction in the area by about 35 years.

“We want to listen to our neighbors, but we have a right to be here,” he said. “I don’t think anyone gets anywhere when it gets adversarial.”

Wagner cited “stray bullets ... found in the densely populated neighborhood abutting the club,” as a reason to have the workshop and a public hearing. He also suggested town officials should check into environmental conditions at the club.

Cape Elizabeth Police Chief Neil Wil-liams this week said police responded to only one incident, in September 2009, where a bullet was found in the side of a nearby home. Williams said it remains unclear where the bullet was fired.

“Just because of the proximity of the gun

range to the house the officer felt it was likely the bullet came from the range, but there is no concrete proof that it did,” Wil-liams said in an email.

Wagner, however, said there were two complaints to police about stray rounds found in the neighborhood “and dozens of other types of complaints.”

Williams said he knew of other com-plaints about noise from shooting after the range was closed for the evening. The town does not license or regulate any club activi-ties, Williams and Town Manager Michael McGovern said.

The club range is open from 8 a.m to sunset Monday through Saturday and noon to sunset on Sundays.

At the meeting, Cardinal Lane resident

Gun clubfrom page 1


Mark Membrino said he made one of the complaints about a stray round.

Membrino spoke up after club member and former Cape Elizabeth resident Ben Black recalled tensions between the club and neighbors 20 years ago that resulted in nails scattered in the club parking lot and a phony account of a stray round striking a home.

“My house actually was struck by a bul-let and I can assure you I didn’t plant it,” Membrino said.

Membrino said he and his family have lived in their home for four years and knew the club existed before before they built on their land.

“There is no proving (the bullet) came from the range,” he said, adding his home is in an elevated firing line from the club.

Membrino said he is not always happy about noise at the club, but viewed that as a lesser matter.

Mayon said Membrino’s complaint has been a constant topic at the club for a vari-ety of reasons.

“We don’t want to be known as the ones who sent a round into the neighborhood,” he said.

He said the incident is also discussed be-cause the club increased the size of earthen berms behind targets before the incident. The back of the range features a height of about 45 feet, and the woods beyond could make it difficult for an errant round from the range to reach the nearby neighborhood.

Mayon said the club is working to keep things safe for its members and neighbors.

‘We’ve spent untold thousands of dollars

just within the last year to ensure we have a member-specific ID for everyone coming down on to the range. We’ve spent a large amount of money on surveillance for our club,” he told councilors.

Wagner said he was retained about a year ago, and spoke with McGovern and Williams before approaching the club and its lawyer.

“I think the town needs to consider its own liability with regard to the safety of its citizens,” Wagner said. “This is not an anti-sportsman issue. This is not an anti-gun issue.”

Wagner said good first steps for safety at the club include fencing off the rear of club property and adding structures to deflect errant rounds back to the ground.

Mayon, a father of two, said the woods beyond the club are well posted and parents should educate their children about where the club is, much as they would teach them not to play in the street.

Relations between club members and neighbors also reached a difficult point in 1999, when more than 300 residents signed a petition seeking a reduction in shooting range hours and a review of environmental conditions due to lead from expended am-munition.

Wagner suggested town officials look into environmental conditions again, but Mayon said he and members think the idea “is a non-issue” because of a study done 13 years ago.

He also said club members are discussing more changes, but the scope and timing are contingent on how the upcoming workshop and relationship with neighbors plays out.

Donutsfrom page 1

Trays full of fresh-baked, handmade donuts await the hungry at Tony’s Donuts on Bolton Street in Portland. Tony’s is set to expand to a

second location on Broadway in South Portland this year.

Mario MoreTTo / THe ForecasTerTony’s Donuts, 9 Bolton Street, Portland.

and then Irving, and has been vacant and boarded up for five years.

Tony’s Donuts was opened in 1965, by Fournier’s father, Antonio Fournier. Fourni-er took over the business after his father died in 2005. The business churns out 250 dozen doughnuts a day, plus other assorted pastries like whoopie pies and eclairs.

Aside from the taste, what makes Tony’s Donuts special, Fournier said, is that all the doughnuts are still hand-made and hand-cut. Machine-formed and -cut doughnuts require a more fluid dough, which makes for a greasier and less-flavorful product, he said.

The business model is also about keeping the product affordable, he said. You can get a 10-ounce cup of coffee and a single donut at Tony’s for $1.50. Those prices keep the six or so tables at Bolton Street packed

most of the day, and the same prices will be the order of the day in South Portland, Fournier said.

Fournier said the time is right to expand his bakery. Between the economy driving property prices down and the proliferation of boutique baked goods, it’s a good time to deal in confection, he said.

Especially if your offerings include whoopie pies, he said. Tony’s offers them in lots of varieties, including a relatively new red velvet cake.

“Cupcakes are on their way out,” Fournier said, referring to the frosted treat’s explosion in popularity over the past few years. “Whoopie pies are next. Decorated ones with fancy flavors. ... We could open a whoopie pie factory in New York City and it would get so big.”

Fournier said he doesn’t see the expan-

sion into South Portland as the last step in Tony’s growth. He’s working on a plan to franchise the bakery, allowing others to open up Tony’s Donuts shops true to the bakery his father built.

“Several people have approached me, wanting to set up a franchise,” he said. “They’re all Mainers, too. We’re working on it.”


@riocarmine.

The current proposal represents a 6 per-cent increase in spending over the current year and a roughly 11 percent increase in taxes. The tax need is higher than the in-crease in spending because the wellspring of federal stimulus money that bridged the gap in the past three years has run dry.

Overall, non-tax revenue for the School Department is down by about 18 percent. But for some residents, the sharp decrease

Budgetfrom page 31

in revenue doesn’t justify the proposed spike in taxes.

“We knew that money was going to go away,” Randy Lamattine said. “For some reason or another we made those (stimulus-funded) positions permanent.”

“As a retired law enforcement officer,” he said, “I can’t afford it anymore.”

Brad Dupee said it isn’t fair to expect more taxes from residents every year when the recession has left many without raises since 2008. Dupee said he is retired, and his income has been constant while taxes

continue to rise.“I’m not the only one in Scarborough on

a fixed income,” he said. “You need to take some consideration for people out there try-ing to survive and make a living.”

Other residents said they support the school budget, but want councilors to take another look at the municipal side.

“The education portion of the budget has been unfairly targeted for cuts over the last three years, while the municipal side has continued to grow,” Susan Hamill said. “Nobody moves to a town because they

have great roads, a super fire station, new equipment or a brand new police station. They move to a town because the schools in an area are great.”

The Town Council and School Board will meet for a workshop on April 25 ahead of a final council vote on the budget on May 2. Residents will go to the polls to vote on the school budget on May 15.
