Final funds push begins for oil tank muralsBy Mario MorettoSOUTH PORTLAND — Since late 2009, millions have driven, boated or flown by the Sprague En-ergy oil terminal in South Portland.
And all those passersby have had an eyeful of the geometric designs painted on the sides and tops of three giant fuel tanks.
Now the Maine Center for Creativity, the organi-zation behind the highly visible display, is starting the last round of fundrais-ing for the project, Art All Around. The goal is to raise the last $350,000; so far, MCC has raised more than $950,000.
Painting started at the oil terminal nearly two years ago, after Venezu-elan artist Jaime Gili was named the winner of an international design con-test. This month, a team of industrial painters from AMEX — a Worcester, Mass.-based painting company with an office in Portland — will begin
One of the three completed tanks at Sprague Energy’s
South Portland oil terminal.

Farmers’ market finalized for KnightvilleBy Mario Moretto
SOUTH PORTLAND — Af-ter languishing in logistic limbo for more than five years, a South Portland farmers’ market is closer to reality than ever.
City councilors recently ap-proved changes to zoning and licensing rules to establish a market at Thomas Knight Park.
They also struck down rules established in 2004 – when Mayor Rosemarie De Angelis, then a city councilor, first got her idea for a farmers’ market on

Fort Williams bus, trolley fees delayedFunds OK’d forRobinson Woods IIBy Amy Anderson
CAPE ELIZABETH — Town councilors Monday night ap-proved a $350,000 contribution to help the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust acquire nearly 64 acres of open space next to Robinson Woods.
Councilors also postponed un-til fall further discussion about fees for tour buses and trolleys that use Fort Williams Park.
The proposal would charge $40 for each tour bus and $1,500 per season for the three trolleys that visit Fort Williams Park. It does not include fees for camp or recreational buses or for those associated with elder-care facilities.
Several residents and two rep-resentatives of local tour compa-nies spoke against the proposal.
Jeanne McGurn, owner of the Maine Tour Connection on Ocean Street in South Port-land, said it is discriminatory to charge entrance fees to mo-tor coach groups and not for individual vehicles, campers and motorcycles. She said the motor coaches carry up to 40 passengers, who spend money at the gift shop and museum each season.
“By imposing these fees you are discriminating against senior and mature travelers,” she said. “The negative impact of this fee
Council approves deals with Higgins Beach InnBy Mario Moretto
SCARBOROUGH — Though questions were raised about whether residents were getting a fair shake, councilors on Friday approved a handful of parking and lease deals between the town and the Higgins Beach Inn.
The first deal outlined a plan
for the inn to lease a small cot-tage at 41 Ocean Ave. from the town for $600 per month.
In the agreement, if the inn nets more than $7,200 in rental income from the cottage in a year, the town and the inn will split the remaining income 50/50. The deal is in effect until
April 30, 2013. The cottage is on property the
town bought in March 2010. The Higgins Beach Inn had been leasing it, and the town honored that lease until it expired in April of this year.
Councilor Jessica Holbrook was worried the deal didn’t give
the town its due.“When I first read this, I kind
of choked on my coffee,” she said. “I’m no real-estate agent, but $600 a month? I think that’s a steal.”
She said the property likely

p.m. on Saturdays.Organizers and supporters
are hopeful the market, to be held Thursdays from 3-7 p.m., will draw people not only from South Portland, but the greater Portland area.
They hope it will be part of the revitalization of Knightville.

Election clerks: Absentee ballots more problematic than same-day voter registrationBy Nat Herz
BRUNSWICK — As a bill to elimi-nate same-day voter registration worked its way through Maine’s Legislature last week, proponents frequently cited the plight of the state’s municipal clerks.
One of those proponents was Secretary of State Charles E. Summers Jr., who, in testimony before a legislative committee in May, argued that the clerks are over-whelmed with work in the days leading up to elections, and need some “breathing room.”
“They do not have the flexibility or the resources to simply bring in more staff to handle the final days of an election, and they struggle to perform their regular mu-nicipal functions alongside this increas-ingly concentrated voter registration and absentee ballot process,” Summers said.
But in a canvass of area clerks last week, not all agreed with Summers. Some said they welcomed passage of the mea-sure, saying that same-day registration gave them headaches, and resulted in long lines at the polls. But others, like Bruns-wick’s Fran Smith, were opposed, since their offices, bolstered by extra workers, are capable of withstanding the onslaught.
“It’s really not about me. It’s about my voters,” Smith said. “It’s my job to get people to vote.”
Nat Herz / For tHe Forecaster Yarmouth Town Clerk Jennifer Doten prepares absentee ballots for this week’s local election. She
said absentee balloting takes up a “phenomenal” amount of her time.
According to Smith, in the 2008 presi-dential election, Brunswick officials reg-istered nearly 800 new voters on Election Day and in the two business days prior – the period restricted by LD 1376.
The measure would also prohibit people from requesting absentee ballots in that period. In Brunswick, Smith said, almost 400 residents did so in 2008.
To accommodate all those voters, Smith said she hires extra staff, at a cost she es-timated at $500 for the three-day window.
“We’re very fortunate that we have a community that’s supportive, and a coun-cil that’s supportive,” she said. “Because I have enough people to do it, I have a hard time supporting something that takes something away from the people that I’m trying to get to vote.”
Like Smith, the Maine Town and City Clerks’ Association opposed the elimina-tion of same-day voter registration, ac-cording to Patti Dubois, the association president. But it did support restrictions on the issuing of absentee ballots.
“The shift is on, statewide,” she said. “We’ve been at the point for several years now, saying that something has to give with absentee voting.”
Indeed, in Yarmouth, Town Clerk Jenni-fer Doten said that absentee voting takes up a “phenomenal” amount of her time.
In her office on Friday, as she printed and highlighted envelopes containing absentee ballots for this week’s local elec-tion, Doten said she supported both re-strictions contained in LD 1376, although she emphasized that accommodating absentee voting is her biggest problem.
In the weeks prior to a big election, Yarmouth also brings in extra staff and sets up a community room to accom-
modate the “constant” influx of absentee voters, Doten said. All the work distracts from the preparations for conventional, election-day voting.
“Most clerks, including myself, are so tired by Election Day, because we have spent, literally, 16-hour days printing lists, preparing lists, highlighting things that need to be highlighted, setting up polls, getting notices out,” Doten said. “When we have people coming in all day doing

Portable classrooms planned for Small SchoolBy Mario Moretto
SOUTH PORTLAND — In an effort to combat ballooning enrollment, the School Board on Monday gave the OK to solicit bids for two modular class-rooms for Small Elementary School.
Projections indicate Small will have about 60 incoming kindergarten stu-dents next year, pushing the school’s capacity to the limit. Principal Bonnie Hicks said in May that every classroom was packed full, including a science lab that had been converted to make space for a student population already too large.
School Board guidelines set the maxi-mum class size at 20 students. Small had 15 classes last year, six of which exceeded the 20-student limit.
Hicks and Superintendent Suzanne Godin saw only two options: more classrooms or fewer students.
Officials considered converting the
SOUTH PORTLAND — The School Board on Monday approved a shuffling of school administrators.
Mahoney Middle School Principal Kathyrn Germani will become in-terim assistant superintendent when the current No. 2 in the central office, Steven Bailey, leaves South Portland to become superintendent of schools in Damariscotta.
Mahoney’s assistant principal, Carrie Stilphen, will take over for Germani as acting principal for one year.
The board also appointed Stephen Chabot as assistant principal at Memo-rial Middle School and Laurence Clif-ford as boys soccer coach for seventh-graders at Mahoney.
— Mario Moretto
art room to classroom space, mov-ing some fourth-graders to Brown or Kaler elementary schools, moving 20 kindergarteners to Kaler or moving all the fifth-graders to Mahoney Middle School.
Residents, however, came out in force at a May meeting to support the more-costly portables solution. Most said they didn’t want children to have to leave their community.
The board hopes to pick the winning bid at its July 13 meeting. The cost of the project will vary depending on whether the board chooses to buy or rent and whether the structures are new or used.
Rafe Forland, School Department director of finance, said preliminary estimates put the price tag between $14,000 per year for a four-year rental or $65,000 to buy the modulars outright.
Godin said if everything goes accord-
ing to plan, the portable classrooms will be in place by mid-August, in time for the next school year.
In other business, the board awarded a nearly $51,000 contract to Maine Tennis
& Track of Gray to rennovate the track at South Portland High School.
Board member Richard Matthews said work should begin soon, because the track must be ready for use by July 22.

Facilities manager, instructional support director leaving CapeBy Amy Anderson
CAPE ELIZABETH — Two employ-ees who have played important roles for the town are leaving at the end of the month.
Ernest MacVane, the facilities manager, will retire after 26 years and Dominic DePatsy, director of instructional support in the School Department, will take a job in Regional School Unit 5.
MacVane, a South Portland resident, worked as a plumbing inspector for Scarborough, South Portland and Cape Elizabeth before becoming the town’s codes enforcement officer in 1985.
He served in that capacity until 1997, when he accepted the facilities manager position. He managed the school main-tenance department, overseeing all town and school building facilities.
Cape Elizabeth panel seeks bids for open space analysisBy Amy Anderson
CAPE ELIZABETH — An ad hoc committee formed last December to conduct a comprehensive review of the town’s open space is soliciting proposals for an analysis of the costs and benefits of housing growth and development ver-
MacVane said he helped with the im-provements to the Middle School, Pond Cove Elementary School, high school, the kindergarten wing, Portland Head Light, Richards Pool and Spurwink Church.
He said he is especially proud of the work related to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and en-ergy management.
“I’ve met a lot of people and made a lot of friends in my time here,” MacVane said. “It’s been a very rewarding career.”
DePatsy, a Falmouth resident, will become director of student services July 1 in RSU 5, which includes Freeport, Pownal and Durham.
DePatsy said his last five years in Cape have been great, but he is looking for-ward to working in a regional school unit.
“When I saw there was an opening, I
thought it would be a good move,” he said. “RSU 5 is very different from Cape and I am looking for more diversity. I think this move will really round out my career.”
He said he’d like to apply for a super-intendent position within the next five to 10 years and is looking forward to work-ing with RSU 5 Superintendent Shannon Welsh.
“She is an excellent superintendent and we have a lot of the same philosophies,” he said.
DePatsy started his career in the chil-dren’s unit at Jackson Brook Institute, now known as Spring Harbor Hospital. In School Administrative District 28 he worked as a behavioral consultant, special education teacher and assistant special services director. He then became a due process consultant for the Depart-
ment of Education and the director of special services in Kittery.
He has a master’s degree from the University of Southern Maine in special education and his certificate of advanced study in educational leadership. He received his superintendent certificate under his mentor, former Cape Elizabeth Superintendent of Schools Alan Hawkins.
“It has been a great stint in Cape, we’ve completed a lot of great work and it’s hard to leave the staff,” he said. “But I am really excited to gain even more experience, and am looking forward to this next step.”

Wind gust a theory for cause of plane crash that injured 2By Mario Moretto
SCARBOROUGH — The maiden flight of a Scarborough man’s new air-plane ended June 10 with a dive and a crash, injuring the plane’s owner and its pilot.
Jeff Greenleaf, 40, bought the aircraft last winter, according to Fire Chief Mi-chael Thurlow. The plane was a single-engine Kitfox experimental plane, a build-at-home class of small aircraft.

Founder of Center for Preventing Hate turns the page in civil rights fightBy Randy Billings
PORTLAND — Stephen Wessler re-members sitting in the living room of his parent’s Cambridge, Mass., home as a young boy watching Walter Cronkite report on the civil rights movement.
Later, in 1968, Wessler recalled Cronkite reporting on the assassination of civil rights leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
They were events that put Wessler on a path to becoming a leading voice against discrimination, harassment and hate.
“Those are among the most indelible memories as a kid,” Wessler said. “It just struck me as such an injustice. It stayed with me.”
Wessler in 1999 established the Portland-based nonprofit Center for Preventing Hate, which over the last 12 years has been a public voice against hate crimes and a proactive voice against discrimination in schools.
But the Forest Avenue center is gradu-ally winding down its operations, now that Wessler has decided to step down as executive director to tackle other pursuits.
Wessler has been the center’s dominant voice and fundraiser, and its trustees de-cided last month that it would be too dif-ficult to replace him.
Wessler, a Harvard College and Boston University School of Law graduate, came to Maine about 20 years ago and worked in the state attorney general’s office from 1992 to 1999.
Randy Billings / The FoRecasTeRStephen Wessler, the founder and executive director of the Center for Preventing Hate, is stepping
down to devote more time to writing books, teaching and leading seminars.
He established a civil rights unit in the AG’s office, designed to enforce the Maine Civil Rights Act of 1989, which allows state prosecutors to seek restraining orders against people who threaten or commit violence out of bias.
But before even starting his state job, hate landed at his front door. He said someone painted “F--- you, Jews” on the white picket fence surrounding his Litch-field home.
“My oldest son came in looking kind of pale,” he said. “The impact of hate crimes is extraordinarily strong and leads to a real deep-seeded fear. ... Behind the message is a treat of violence.”
But rather than cower and hope it was an isolated incident, Wessler called local news outlets, because he felt the “shame factor” from a public response and repudiation of the hate crime would be the best deterrent against future acts.
It’s that organized community response to hate speech that has been the center’s hallmark. The group often organizes demonstrations and candlelight vigils to show support for hate crime victims and denounce perpetrators.
During his work in the AG’s office, Wessler discovered that hate-based vio-lence was the result of an escalation of hate speech.
sion from his friend Fred Bayley, owner of Bayley’s Camping Resort, to use Bay-ley’s private airstrip on Ross Road for the inaugural flight.
Greenleaf enlisted his friend, Perry Fielding, a 63-year-old Scarborough pi-lot, to fly the craft.
Shortly after 6 p.m., after being air-borne for only a few seconds, the plane carrying the two men crashed in a field off Ross Road.
Fielding was healing Monday and de-
clined comment, but his wife, Stephanie, said in an interview that her husband has been flying for four decades. She said he is a recreational pilot and has always practiced safety.
“His whole family flies,” she said. “His father was a flight instructor in World War II. He taught Perry how to fly.”
Stephanie Fielding said Greenleaf enlisted her husband to fly the plane be-cause he owns a similar aircraft. She said the two men had “talked and gone over everything for months” before taking off on June 10.
Stephanie Fielding said her husband didn’t remember what happened after takeoff, but said he believed a gust of wind may have caused the plane to dive. Fire Chief Thurlow said the craft had made it about 100 feet off the ground before crashing.
After the crash, Greenleaf pulled himself and an unconscious Perry Field-ing out of the craft before calling 911,
Thurlow said.After Scarborough police, fire and
EMS units arrived at the scene, both men were taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with what police said were “se-rious injuries.” Thurlow said Greenleaf was released Friday night.
Stephanie Fielding said Perry Fielding was released Saturday night, and that he was doing “just fine, though he’s black and blue.”
Scarborough public safety officials said the official cause of the crash is still unknown.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash. A spokeswoman for the FAA said it could be weeks or months before information is released.

A dance recital reveals more than ballet clicheBy Mike Langworthy
I was in no mood to go to our daughter Elizabeth’s dance recital at Maine State Ballet in Falmouth.
It was the Saturday after the Tuesday I got my new hip. Before minimally invasive surgery, hip replacement meant days in the hospital, weeks of inactivity and months of painful rehab. I had been out of the hospital in a day, with a pain-free, bionic joint and muscle sore-ness that receded every day. The mandatory-for-the-first-week walker gave me mobility, and, no brag, I was getting pretty good with it.
So I should have been grateful. And I was – if by “grateful” you mean “feeling sorry for myself.” Did I mention the walker? Old people used walkers. Weak people used walkers. Even my 88-year-old father, bone on bone in both knees since his 40s, only used a cane. Of course, he also passed his Marine Corps physical fit-ness tests three days after an emergency appendectomy (Greatest Generation? Try Superhu-man Generation).
Plus people who liked me asked how I felt, complimented my prog-ress, wished me well – who enjoys that? OK, maybe everybody but me, but I still wanted to run – well, hobble – for the nearest exit.
So I was pretty much pouring water out of my over-flowing glass so I could call it half empty when the curtain rose on Elizabeth and the rest of the adaptive dance class.
There is something arresting about dancers at rest. The teacher, graceful and radiant two months after childbirth, flanked by two girls with Down syndrome and three swan-necked Maine State dancers who gave up their Saturday mornings to assist. The volunteers’
faces were largely neutral, almost expressionless. The students’ ranged from concentration to pride to barely concealed ecstasy. The whole tableau was riveting.
Elizabeth, one of two non-Down dancers, was in the second row, next to a delightful girl with a medical history that makes my bad hip look like a nosebleed. Further down was the other non-Down child, also delightful, with a strong personality to match Eliza-beth’s, which may explain why our daughter has always had a difficult
relationship with her. For whatever reason, Elizabeth has butted heads with her over everything from restau-rant seating to speech volume, but at that moment, they coexisted peacefully, their faces were nearly identical masks of concentration.
It took about a nanosecond to forget about my sore leg as the class performed a warm-up. The teacher explained that besides stretching cold muscles, the exercises got

Edgar Allen Beem
The perils of parking in PortlandWhile attending the First Friday Art Walk earlier
this month, I got a $25 ticket for parking in a no-parking zone on Oak Street in Portland. I must say, I got no sympathy from my lovely wife Carolyn:
“You saw the no-parking sign. You parked there anyway. You got a ticket. And you’re complaining about it?”
As I explained to her, there didn’t seem to be any obvious reason for a no-parking zone – no fire hydrant, no driveways, no busi-nesses. So I figured it wouldn’t hurt anything if I parked there for a few minutes while I ran into a gallery before it closed. Anyway, why would anyone be ticketing at all after 7 p.m. on a Friday night, right?
Wrong.Until the economic downturn, Portland had an
enlightened approach to parking tickets. Drivers could get one ticket forgiven every six months. But in the money-starved second decade of the 21st century, the city decided it needed the estimated $500,000 in parking ticket revenues it was giving away.
I’m not sure Portland was getting a half-million in good will from its ticket forgiveness program, but I do know I appreciated not having worry about getting towed or booted. And I also know a lot of people rarely if ever go into Portland because it’s such a hassle to park. I have no sympathy for them.
I go into Portland several times a week and I’ve never failed to find a legal place to park – until now. Usually, I just drive around a widening block once or twice and something opens up. People will go to the mall and happily park the equivalent of three city blocks away from the stores just because
parking is free and they can see their destination.My biggest complaint about parking in Portland
– until now – is cheater meters that eat your first quarter without registering the 15 minutes you just purchased. Happens to me at least once a week. When I complain about it, I am told to report the offending meter. That’s the only way the city knows a meter’s battery is running low. Oh, really, maybe checking batteries would give the meter men some-thing to do that is actually useful.
By early fall, Portland will be piloting its first 10 to 15 multi-space meters, mid-block pay-and-dis-play machines that will accept coins or credit cards. I can only begin to imagine the perils of giving your credit card numbers to a parking meter.
When you get a parking ticket in Portland, you also get a handy-dandy parking ticket blue map showing 37 downtown parking lots and parking garages. Like most people, however, I have an aver-sion to parking garages. In the first place, it’s just wrong to drive a car inside a building. But, more importantly, parking garages are dangerous. Nation-ally, close to 40 percent of muggings and assaults take place in parking lots and garages. Then, too, parking garages tend to smell like urine, serving as they do as the public toilets the city doesn’t have.
Upon inquiring about the no-parking zone at the foot of Oak Street, a very nice gentleman in the Portland Parking Division explained to me that Oak Street was probably too narrow to have, as it does, parking meters on both sides of the street, but that the city’s traffic engineers had only designated the foot of the street a no-parking zone because they felt the hill was too steep for cars to park in winter. They didn’t want cars sliding down into Cumberland Avenue.
But – I got this ticket on June 3. When was the last time we had snow on the ground in June?
See, honey, I was right. There is no good reason for a no-parking zone at the foot of Oak Street – unless, of course, there’s snow on the ground.
Now, can I borrow $25?Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in

the dancers listening and moving to the music. Each girl has physical and developmental challenges that impact her coordination, but when the African-sounding drum track began, each found the part of the beat that spoke to her and responded as she heard it and felt it. They didn’t move together or even complement each other, but between them, they seemed to express every beat of the rhythm in a complex, well, ballet. I wanted to concentrate only on my own child, but I couldn’t. Everybody else was too interesting.
Make no mistake. Elizabeth and her classmates will probably never interpret “Giselle” at the American Ballet Theater (on the other hand, at ABT you prob-ably won’t see one of the ballerinas’ heads pop out of the bottom of the curtain and check out the house – a moment I would put up against, say, Fonteyn’s dying swan, for pure entertainment value). Still, they were dancers. In one number, they crossed the stage one at a time, personifying in dance different animals. If dance is self-expression through movement, each trip across the floor was pure dance.
As each girl showed us exactly who she was, how she perceived the world, and what was necessary to com-municate that perception, I wondered how many times I had missed the point at a recital or concert or play, so concerned about whether the performers were “doing it right” that I completely missed that for them, they were doing it perfectly.
Even on the “doing it right” scale, there was real art, those priceless times when you lose sight of yourself and just experience the moment. It is amazing to see anyone, much less a special needs teenager, capture the erratic rhythm of a butterfly in flight, moving to con-template the enormous achievement of 10 girls with a variety of physical and mental challenges all doing the same tap routine.
Maybe it was just these dancers. Maybe my weakened state broke down some barrier. All I know is, I found myself experiencing the recital, not just watching it, and now, sitting in judgment at a performance seems beside the point.
For a glimpse of what the human spirit is really capable of, I recommend a recital of the Maine State Ballet’s adaptive dance class.

SOUTH PORTLAND — Helen The-resa (McCue) Gillis, 87, died June 9 at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House fol-lowing a brief illness.
Born Oct. 19, 1923, in Portland, she was the youngest daughter of John B. and Helen A. McCue. The fam-ily lived on Munjoy Hill, and she attended Cathedral Grammar School, graduating from Cathedral High School in 1941.
After high school, she worked at the South Portland Shipyard, where she drove a forklift and loaded munitions on ships during World War II.
On June 25, 1945, she married Edward F. Gillis at the Cathedral of the Immacu-late Conception. They lived in Portland until 1952 when they moved to South Portland, where she was a homemaker and active parent of four sons.
After her boys were older, she entered the real estate business with her husband, eventually taking over the management of several Portland apartment buildings.
She was a 50-year member of Beta Sig-ma Phi, a women’s service organization, which served as a source of great enjoy-ment and lifelong friendships for her.
her niece, Jerralyn Cadigan and friend, Allison Skillings, were her willing driv-ers, enabling her to continue living in her beloved home until the end.
She was predeceased by her husband, Eddie, in 2000, a son, Mark T., in 2003, and sister, Mary E. McCue, in 2010.
Survivors include her sister, Jane Flint of Yarmouth; three sons, Ed of Key West, Fla., Michael and his wife Karen of San Diego, and Peter and wife Susan of Cape Elizabeth; two granddaughters, Helen M. and Nona E. Gillis of Cape Elizabeth; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Gillis
Helen T. Gillis, 87: Active community volunteer, former forklift driverShe was a long-time parishioner of
Holy Cross Church and dedicated volun-teer at the Maine Medical Center.
Over the years, she enjoyed traveling, shopping on Congress Street and later at the Maine Mall, where her nearly daily trips were more about the people she met up with; she seldom came home with purchases.
When her granddaughters entered Catherine McAuley High School, she gladly attended many McAuley events, including nearly every basketball game over the past six years. Three weeks ago, she was an honored alumna at her grand-daughter’s graduation ceremony.
Unable to drive these last two years,
Memorial services were held Monday, June 13.
Arrangements are by Conroy-Tully Crawford South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway, South Portland.
Memorial donations may be made to Catherine McAuley High School, 631 Stevens Ave., Portland, ME 04103 or Gosnell Memorial Hospice House, Hos-pice of Southern Maine, 180 U.S. Route 1, Suite 1, Scarborough, ME 04074.

Scarborough lax teams off to states

Forecaster Country will be well represented at Saturday’s boys’ and girls’ lacrosse state championships.
Both Scarborough teams earned a shot at a repeat cham-pionship with regional final victories Wednesday.
The Red Storm boys, the top seed in Western A, beat back No. 3 Thornton Academy, 8-3, to earn a date with Lewiston (13-1) Saturday at 10 a.m., at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Port-land.
The top-ranked Scarborough girls also advanced with a 9-6 victory over No. 3 Kennebunk and will meet Brunswick (11-3) in the state game Saturday, at 12:30 p.m.
Cape Elizabeth’s boys and girls were also hoping to make it to the final day, but it wasn’t to be.
The boys’ team, the defend-ing Class B champion and ranked second, was ousted in the regional final by No. 1 Falmouth, 11-9.

(Ed. Note: For the complete Scarborough-Thornton Academy game story, visit theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer
Wednesday evening, in the latest regional final showdown between softball powerhouses Scarborough and South Portland, the Red Storm got the last laugh.
Scarborough took the Western Class A championships with a somewhat surprising 1-0 triumph and earned a date against Mes-salonskee (16-3) in the Class A Final Saturday at high noon at Cony High School in Augusta.
Cape Elizabeth’s run didn’t last near as long. The sixth-ranked Capers, who returned the playoffs after a one-year absence, suffered an 8-4 loss at No. 3 Oak Hill in the Western B quarterfinals.Game of the Year, part IISouth Portland won its first
state championship a year ago and was unstoppable this spring, winning all 16 games by a com-posite margin of 157-23. The Red Riots, behind senior ace Alexis Bogdanovich, Maine’s Gatorade Player of the Year, and a fearsome offense, had no peer.
South Portland kept the good times rolling in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds, dispatching No. 8 Sanford (11-0) and No. 4 McAuley (14-2, in five innings).
Against the Redskins, Bogda-novich threw a no-hitter and had three hits and two RBIs. Senior

Scarborough tennis teams fall at statesBy Michael Hoffer
The inspired run of the Scarborough tennis teams finally came to an end Saturday at Colby College in Waterville.
In the Class A state final, both Red Storm squads met their match at the hands of peren-nial champion Lewiston.
The boys’ team, coming off the first regional crown in program history, did manage to win a point in the state final, but fell, 4-1 to the Blue Devils, to end their season at 14-2.
Junior Alex Henny delivered the point, win-ning his first singles match, 6-0, 7-5. Senior Dennis Liu fell at No. 2 singles (1-6, 4-6). Senior Andrew Talbot dropped his third singles match, 1-6, 5-7. Joe Corbeau and Jeff Sirocki lost at first doubles, 4-6, 6-7 (6). Juniors Dan Slavin and Zach Pelczar dropped their second doubles match, 5-7, 3-6.

behind a 134-23 run differential. The Red Storm, seeded second, downed No. 7 Noble, 9-0, in five innings in the quarterfinals, then held off No. 3 Thornton Academy, 2-0, in the semis.
Against the Knights, junior ace Mo Hannan threw a no-hitter and fanned 13 batters. She had four hits and an RBI and junior Abby Rutt hit a home run. In the win over the Golden Trojans, Fresh-man standout Alyssa Williamson hit a long home run. Hannan threw a five-hit shutout, struck out 11 and worked out of a couple late jams.
“It was nervewracking, but it’s good coming out of a close game and knowing we came out on top,” Hannan said. “We knew defense would win this game. One run helped so much. That second one felt good. I knew I could give up one.”
“We knew it would be a strug-gle,” Griffin said. “We hoped we could open up the game, but it didn’t happen. (Thornton Acad-emy’s) a great team. I’m pleased we worked hard to play this game on our field. A lot of times that’s what it comes down to.”
On May 24, South Portland beat visiting Scarborough, 3-1. The teams have quite a playoff history as the squads combined for five regional and three state champion-ships dating back to 2005.
slugger Katlin Norton hit a three-run home run and classmate Amanda Linscott also went deep. Sophomore Danica Gleason had three RBIs.
In the win over the Lions, Bog-danovich threw a three-hitter and the Red Riots scored four runs in the first and six in the third to break it open. They added four in
the fifth to bring about the mercy rule and end it.
Scarborough, meanwhile, lost only once in the regular season, to South Portland, and went 15-1

Baseball teams oustedBy Michael Hoffer
The end of the 2011 baseball season came sooner than hoped for Forecaster Country teams.
South Portland made it the farthest. The fifth-seeded Red Riots upset No. 4 Scarborough, 2-1, in eight innings, in their Western Class A quarterfinal round game, then fell to top-ranked Cheverus, 8-2, in the semifinals.
In Western B, No. 3 Cape Elizabeth was upset by No. 6 Falmouth, 2-1, in a quar-terfinal.
Minor surpriseSouth Portland posted a 10-6 regular
season record, while Scarborough went 11-5. The Red Riots won the regular season meeting, 5-0, at home May 14. The Red Storm took the prior playoff encounter, 13-6, in the 2009 semis.
Friday, with senior ace Andrew Richards on the hill (who blanked Scarborough in the regular season), South Portland held a

victory at Scarborough.

Scarborough junior first baseman Conor McCann stretches to make the out on South
Portland senior Nick Conti.
1-0 lead into the sixth when a passed ball tied the score. In the top of the eighth, how-ever, senior Paul Reny raced home on an error and and Richards slammed the door, completing his six-hitter, as the Red Riots advanced, 2-1.
“What a credit to the guys on both sides to keep plugging away,” said South Port-land’s first-year coach Mike Owens. “All three runs came on mistakes. That’s how playoff games are won and lost. I’m proud of both sides. Two good teams. We’ve been resilient all year. We won’t score 10, 12 runs. I’m proud of how we acted today. When (Andrew) pitches like that, he’s un-believable. He doesn’t get rattled and keeps throwing strikes.”
Scarborough finished 11-6 and lamented what-if.
“We had some chances and left five guys in scoring position,” said first-year Red Storm coach Mike Coutts. “We just couldn’t get a big hit. Games go like that
sometimes. It’s tough from the kids’ stand-point, because they were ready and thought they’d win and when you don’t, it makes it tougher. I wish it didn’t end like that, but it did. We beat both Cheverus and Westbrook this year and they made it to the Western Maine Final. We could have been there. You learn and move on.”
Coutts felt his first year was a resound-ing success.
“I have no complaints,” he said. “Great kids. They were awesome. They worked hard. People in Scarborough were great. It was an easy transition.”
The Red Storm graduate five starters, but return solid pitching and will be heard from again next year.
“Our future is very bright,” Coutts said. “We have (ace pitchers) Ben Wessel, Joe Cronin and Ben Greenberg back. We have other quality returning guys and young kids ready to step in. Hitting will be the focus next year. We only hit .239 as a team this year, which put a lot of pressure on our pitching and defense. If we can maintain the pitching and defense and hit better, we’ll be a better team.”
South Portland went on to face top-ranked Cheverus in the semifinals. The game was supposed to be played Saturday, but rain moved it to Monday and when the Cheverus field wasn’t playable, the contest
was moved to The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach.
There, the Red Riots raced to a 2-0 lead behind junior pitcher Matt DiBiase before an eight-run Stags’ fourth proved to be too much to overcome and South Portland fin-ished 11-7 after an 8-2 loss.
“I absolutely think the season was a success,” Owens said. “It’s definitely not the way we wanted to end. We had higher expectations for ourselves than I think other people around the area might have. We built on something. We were better today than we were the first day we were out, and that’s something we shot for as a staff and shot for as a team. You always want to win the last one, but I’m really proud of the way the boys competed and where we got.”
UpsetIn Western B, Cape Elizabeth wound up
third with a 12-4 mark and drew a very tough and hot Falmouth squad, ranked sixth, in the quarterfinals. The teams split in the regular season, but last Thursday, the Yachtsmen grabbed an early 2-0 lead and after a two-and-a-half hour rain delay, the Capers finally got a chance to answer. They finally pushed a run across in the seventh, but couldn’t get the equalizer and their season ended at 12-5 with a 2-1 setback.
“We showed great (fortitude) getting that hit with two outs in the seventh with two strikes, to get us that first run,” said Cape Elizabeth coach Chris Hayward.
A solid group of accomplished seniors will be missed.
“Cam Brown, Pat Tyler, Kyle Danielson and Rob Macdonald are all all-stars, tough to replace,” Hayward said. “Jack Barber is as good an outfielder anywhere. Ben Ber-man gave great leadership throughout the year. Statistician ‘Cowboy’ Miklavic will also be hard to replace.”
The Capers hope to bounce right back next season.
“We’re getting hit hard by graduation for the second year in a row,” Hayward said. “We were pleased, however, with the poise and performance of junior Will LeBlond and sophomore Sam Kozlowski on the mound. With the return of Matty Pierce, Derek Roberts, Chris Robicheaw, Chris Tinsman, Seth Dobieski, Donald Clark and others, we hope to reload. We’ll have the goal of winning enough games to make the playoffs and try to do some damage there.”sports editor Michael hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

our first time in Class A championship match,” said Scarborough coach Craig McDonald. “We never gave up and kept fighting to the end, but Lewiston’s experience and clutch play during the crucial moments, I believe was the dif-ference.”
The Red Storm will build on this ex-perience and look to get back to states in 2012.
“Next year, we return seven players who started at one point or another dur-ing the season. The two spots that need to be filled next year are second and third singles that were vacated by our two senior captains, Dennis Liu and Andrew Talbot.”
The girls’ squad, which rose from the No. 4 seed to win their first regional championship, was blanked by Lewiston, 5-0, and wound up 12-4.
Senior Cortney Hughes and sopho-more Maria Philbrick were close at first doubles, but lost, 6-7 (5), 1-6. The second doubles pairing of seniors Laura Flewelling and Christina Bilodeau fell, 1-6, 0-6. Senior Jenna Posey lost her first singles match, 1-6, 1-6. Junior Brazil-ian exchange student Fernanda Delboni dropped a 4-6, 3-6 decision at second singles and junior Rachel Webber was defeated, 2-6, 3-6 at No. 3 singles.
“It was a great run and to do it with this great group of people will be some-thing I will remember,” said Scarborough coach Lincoln MacIsaac. “Getting a chance to win states was all these girls wanted. They believed they could do it and the girls really dedicated themselves to the concept of team play. The seniors, especially Cortney, Christina, Jenna and
The Red Storm won the 2007 and 2009 state titles and the Red Riots dethroned them last spring with a stirring 5-2 win in the regional final en route to their first-ever championship, 1-0, over Bangor.
South Portland also beat Scarborough, 1-0, in the 2005 Western A Final. The Red Storm won the other five encounters, in the 2003 semifinals (3-0), 2004 quarterfinals (3-0), 2007 regional final (7-1), 2008 semis (1-0) and 2009 regional final (2-0).
Wednesday night, Scarborough rode Hannan to the finish line. The pitcher led off the game with a single, went to third on an error and scored the only run on a ground ball by Dominique Burnham. She did the rest on the mound, working out of occasional trouble en route to a four-hit, two-walk performance and a 1-0 triumph.
The Red Riots finished 16-1. The Red Storm (16-1) move on.
We’ll have more on both teams in next week’s edition.
Playoff returnCape Elizabeth met its goal of returning
to the postseason with a 10-6 record this spring. The Capers wound up sixth in the region and had to go to No. 3 Oak Hill for the quarterfinals. As it turned out, they had to make the trip to Wales twice.
Last Thursday, in the midst of a close game, the contest was postponed by bad weather necessitating a return trip Friday. There, Cape Elizabeth fell behind, 6-2, early and despite seven Oak Hill errors, three hits and an RBI from senior Ally Boy-ington and two hits apiece from senior Em-ily Donovan and junior Sage Hunt, couldn’t take advantage and wound up falling, 8-4, to finish 10-7.
“We hit their pitcher hard, but we hit it right at people,” lamented Capers coach Joe Henriksen. “We tried everything we could, but didn’t have timely hitting. We got back to the playoffs and I don’t think anybody really wanted to play us.”
Cape Elizabeth will be back in its famil-iar role as contender next spring.
“We had three freshmen on the field at
Oak Hill, so I feel good about next year,” said Henriksen. “I’m losing four kids, but have quite a bit back. I think we’ll be a playoff contender for sure. Beyond that de-pends on the kids and how much they work in the offseason. I think the future’s bright.”
Laura, pulled this group together and pre-pared themselves and the others to play harder than any other group we have had. They led by example and attitude, and I will always appreciate them for what they did for this team.
“For the program, it just validates all the hard work these athletes put in year in and year out and the value of team chemistry. Lewiston has been the best girls’ tennis program in the state for the last 15 years. We were really competitive and won some tough points and games off of them, especially at first doubles, but Lewiston is well coached and they hit some shots in crucial situations. We played hard and I am very proud of this team. These girls left it all out there on
the court.”Don’t expect the Red Storm to be a
one-year wonder. They hope to return in 2012 and finish the job.
“Next year, we hope to build off this success,” said MacIsaac. “We are return-ing captain Rachel Webber and Maria Philbrick, who are two very talented tennis players and athletes. We also have other players who had some varsity ex-perience this spring and will be important varsity players. And we have a core group of sophomores and freshmen who have shown some talent and work ethic who will add a lot of depth and they now have seen how hard they have to work to get to that next level.”

Falmouth in the semifinals, had their title dreams denied by perennial powerhouse Waynflete, the No. 1 seed, 8-7, in the re-gional final.
Both South Portland squads saw their seasons end in gut-wrenching fashion last Wednesday in the Western A quarterfinals.
The fourth-ranked girls were up three goals late over No. 5 Thornton Academy, but the Golden Trojans tied the score with a fraction of a second remaining and went on to a 13-12 overtime victory.
The fourth-ranked boys then followed a similar script. They too led No. 5 Marsh-wood by three goals in the late going, but couldn’t hold on, watched the Hawks rally to tie, then fell in OT, 9-8.
Back to the showScarborough’s boys appeared to be a
year away in 2010, but caught fire late and won the Class A title. This year, as the fa-vorites, the Red Storm hasn’t disappointed, winning 11 of 12 regular season games to earn the No. 1 seed in Western A.
Scarborough got a bye into Saturday’s semifinals and had little trouble with No. 5 Marshwood, winning, 12-3, behind five goals from junior Jon Blaisdell. That sent the Red Storm to Wednesday’s regional final with Thornton Academy, a team Scarborough beat 10-0, at home on May 4.
Wednesday, the Red Storm shot to a 6-0 lead early and the Golden Trojans weren’t able to respond. Scarborough got three goals from Nate Hopkins, two goals and two assists from Blaisdell and moved on.
“It was a case of us being able to connect early,” said Red Storm coach Joe Hezlep. “Thornton made it tough on us the rest of the way. We got it done. Our goal was to earn the right to play Saturday.”
The Red Storm did not play Lewiston in the regular season. Back in 2006, Scarborough easily handled the Blue Dev-ils, 14-2, to win its first Class A title. This time around, the task will be tougher.
“Lewiston is very athletic,” Hezlep said. “We want to play our game. We have to shoot better than we did today. That’s a point of emphasis. We have to play better than we did (against Thornton Academy).”
The Scarborough girls went undefeated en route to a championship in 2010, but were expected to come back to the pack this spring. While the Red Storm did fall once (at home to Class B powerhouse Yarmouth), they won the rest of their games to wind up 11-1, good for the No. 1 seed.
Scarborough got a bye into Saturday’s semifinals and got a mighty scare from No. 5 Thornton Academy, but held on for a 9-7 victory behind three goals from junior Laura Przybylowicz and late tallies from juniors Kelsey Howard and Mary Scott.
The Red Storm edged visiting Ken-nebunk, 12-11, on May 26. The Rams had won two of the prior three playoff encounters.
Wednesday, Howard scored three times, Scarborough took the lead early, didn’t look back and won, 9-6.
Looking ahead to Saturday, Scarborough and Brunswick squared off in the 2006 Class A Final, where the Red Storm sprung a 13-12 upset in triple-overtime. The teams
didn’t meet in the regular season.Second-best
Cape Elizabeth’s boys peaked at the right time a year ago and got back to the pinnacle for the first time since 2005, but this season, losses at Falmouth and Lewiston relegated the Capers to the No. 2 seed in Western B with a 10-2 record.
Cape Elizabeth had a bye into Saturday’s semifinals and had no trouble with No.3 Greely, winning, 15-3, behind five goals from senior Teddy Smith. The Capers advanced to meet a Falmouth squad they split with in the regular season and one they eliminated from each of the past two regional finals.
This time, the Yachtsmen raced to a 6-1 lead at the half and even though Cape Eliza-beth rallied valiantly in the fourth quarter, it still lost, 11-9, to wind up 11-3. Smith and sophomore Justin Cary scored three times each.
“We played really well in the second half and worked hard,” said Capers coach Ben Raymond. “We didn’t worry about being down. We talked about getting one goal at a time and working hard. We just didn’t have the start we wanted to. They had posses-sion in the first half and those possessions resulted in goals. They did a great job. I definitely feel like we ran out of time.
“I think we definitely improved through-out the season. A lot of kids got better. We grew as a team. This group of seniors is out-standing. That’s what I feel worst about. It’s such a great group of quality kids, well re-spected in and out of school. They’ve been great role models for our underclassmen.”
Cape Elizabeth expects to bounce back in 2012.
“We have a great group coming back, we’ll work hard,” Raymond said.
The Cape Elizabeth girls had a stellar regular season, winning nine of 12 games and earned the No. 3 seed in Western B. The Capers went to No. 2 Falmouth in the semifinals, a team which had come from behind to beat them three times since the start of the 2010 season, including last year in the semis. This time, Cape Elizabeth turned the tables, erasing a 7-5 halftime def-icit and going on to win, 14-12, behind four goals from sophomore Talley Perkins, three from senior Paris Bethel and draw circle dominance from sophomore Lauren Steidl.
“It feels awesome,” Steidl said. “It could have been an emotional day because of our past, but we wanted to leave it all on the field and play like we play. We had a chip on our shoulder, went out there and left it all on the field.”
“The monkey’s off our backs,” Capers coach Kurt Chapin said. “We’ve talked about that all week. Revenge, revenge, re-venge. The girls have looked forward to this game and I’m happy for them. It’s been two years of frustration. At halftime, we talked about maybe that’s where we wanted to be, coming from behind. The kids played with more composure. (Falmouth’s) a good team, but we knew we could come out and score against these guys.”
Cape Elizabeth lost at home to regional final foe Waynflete in the regular season, 13-6, on May 17 and had dropped all five prior playoff encounters.
This time, the Capers held an early 4-1 and 5-2 lead, but couldn’t hold on. Despite two goals each from Darling, Perkins and Steidl and nine saves from freshman Abby McInerney (filling in for injured junior Elin Sonesson), the Flyers rallied and won, 8-7, ending Cape Elizabeth’s year at 10-4.
“It was a tough one,” said Capers coach Kurt Chapin. “We were there the whole way. We did exactly what we wanted to do in the first half, attacking their zone, but Waynflete made adjustments at halftime. They got some lucky bounces in the second half. I’m proud of my kids. It was a great run. We’re losing five starters, but this is a good experience to build off.”
Deja vuSouth Portland’s girls posted their best
season to date, 10-2, and wound up fourth in Western A. The Red Riots were hoping to advance to their first ever semifinal, but couldn’t hold on against Thornton Acad-emy. South Portland got three goals each from seniors Victoria Brooking and Becca Roberts and junior Anh Nguyen, but the Golden Trojans tied the game with 0.3 sec-onds left and outscored the Red Riots, 2-1, in overtime to win, 13-12, ending South Portland’s year at 10-3.
“I think the girls got a little tired,” South Portland coach Bill Fenton said. “I think it was the heat and the competition was good. It was a 4-5 game. We expected (Thornton Academy) to be good. The kids played their hearts out. There’s not much separation between the teams. I thought we had it. We just made some mistakes. The girls all played a great game.
“We’ve come a long way from last year. It’s the first time in a long time (since 2004) we’ve hosted a playoff game. We sure had a great run. It’s a great group of girls to be with. I wouldn’t trade a single one of them for anyone else in the league. They were awesome.”
The South Portland boys went 7-5 this season, despite some big-time graduation losses and untimely injuries. The fourth-seeded Red Riots hosted a No. 5 Marsh-wood team they had edged by a goal in the regular season. South Portland got three goals each from seniors Brian Cleary and Harrison Keithly, but the Hawks tied the game with 36.6 seconds to play, then won it 1:32 into sudden-victory OT, 9-8.
The Red Riots go home at 7-6.“The bottom line is we only played one
out of four quarters,” South Portland coach Tom Fiorini said. “We played the second quarter and when we played the second quarter, we dominated the game. The other three quarters, we played with them and they showed heart and did what they had to do to win the game. We made a lot of mental mistakes. Penalties, trying to run through guys instead of moving the ball and that hurt the team today. I don’t understand how we didn’t finish. The bottom line is we didn’t finish.”
South Portland loses 14 seniors, but will look to bounce back in 2012.
“Harrison, in my opinion, is one of the top five players in the state of Maine,” said Fiorini. “Losing him will be hard. I’ll miss that kid. I was thinking today, when they announced, ‘Goal by No. 4.” I’ve heard that for four years non-stop. It’ll be hard giving that up. With that said, I know I have some good teams coming up and I’m looking forward to it. I’m already looking forward to next season.”Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

Summer theater, festivals in full swingBy Scott Andrews
We’re still a week away from the as-tronomical start of summer, but Maine’s seasonal theater and music festivals won’t wait for the solstice.
In Brunswick, Maine State Music The-atre lifted the curtain on its 53rd summer season last week with a wonderful pro-fessional production of “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” a tuneful and nostalgic jukebox musical that recycles many popular songs associated with female artists of the 1950s and 1960s.
Arundel Barn Playhouse opened its 2011 summer season last week with a professional production of “The 39 Steps,” a comical send-up of the famous Alfred Hitchcock spy thriller.
Maine’s bluegrass aficionados have seen the number of festivals dwindle over the past few years, with several going out of business entirely or morphing into something else. But one of the state’s best is getting better: The Blistered Fingers Bluegrass Festival has a new home at the Litchfield Fairground and top national and local artists are slated to appear daily through June 19.
‘The Marvelous Wonderettes’Summer theater schedules are tradi-
tionally dominated by fluffy, funny, tune-ful musical fare. That’s exactly what’s offered in Brunswick through June 25 as Maine State Music Theater opens its 2011 season with “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” a nostalgic stroll down memory lane.
“The Marvelous Wonderettes” is an ex-emplar of the “jukebox musical,” a stage show where a selection of unrelated pop songs that were originally written and performed by various disparate artists are assembled around a minimal story line, thinly drawn characters and a few other unifying features.
Roger Bean wrote the script, and his unifying aesthetic is the female artists and girl groups of the 1950s and 1960s. It was a period when solo singers Con-nie Francis and Brenda Lee were at their peak of popularity. Ditto an assortment of all-female close-harmony vocal ensem-bles such as the Chordettes, Marvelettes, Shirelles and Crystals. Some of these groups formed in high school and scored their biggest hits before they reached their twenties.
That’s the story of “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” four teenagers who won a high school competition. The setting is the 1958 Springfield High School senior prom, and Bean’s young ladies are performing at the big dance. Cindy Lou (Linda Seibert) is the prettiest, most popular and most poised. She knows it, and acts accordingly. Betty Jean (Brittney Morello) is her rival and tends to act out. Missy (Morgan Smith) is awkward and geeky, while Suzy (Danielle Erin Rhodes) is the archetypal dumb blonde, complete with a mouth full of malaprop-isms and bubble gum.
The second act is the class reunion 10 years later. The tone is more somber, and the women, now in their late 20s, have logged some experience in life, including unfaithful boyfriends and philandering husbands.
Courtesy Annie rose Girl groups and female artists of the 1950s and 1960s are fondly recalled in “The Marvelous
Wonderettes,” a jukebox musical that opens the 2011 summer season at Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick.
The music that Bean has selected recycles about two dozen hit tunes, including the Chordettes’ two biggest: “Mr. Sandman” and “Lollipop.” Others fondly recall an assortment of different girl groups and female artists. Among the most memorable songs are “Lipstick On Your Collar” and “It’s My Party (And I’ll Cry If I Want To).”
I loved this very tuneful, joyfully nos-talgic show. MSMT’s four very appealing actresses boast fine voices and excellent stage presences, and their big crinoline skirts gaily recall the fashions of the times. “The Marvelous Wonderettes” is a perfect way to start the summer theater season on just the right note.
Maine State Music Theatre presents “The Marvelous Wonderettes” through June 25 at Pickard Theater on the Bow-doin College campus in Brunswick. Call 725-8769 or go to msmt.org.
‘The 39 Steps’Mysteries and comedies are the two
other legs of the summer theater triad, and Arundel Barn Playhouse opens its 2011 season with a show that combines both genres. “The 39 Steps” is a comic send-up of the famous 1930s-era Alfred Hitchcock spy thriller of the same name.
The script follows a familiar Hitchcock story arc: An innocent man is falsely accused and is pursued by a band of villains. In the hands of playwright Pat-rick Barlow, “The 39 Steps” has been transformed into a British spy farce. As
an added fillip, Barlow’s version faith-fully reconstructs virtually the entire Hitchcock script – which involves a Nazi spy ring that’s stealing British aviation secrets – using only four actors.
The principal male actor tackles the hero role, while one actress plays a trio of love interests. Two other actors play about 100 parts, often only for a few seconds at a time.
Barlow’s version of “The 39 Steps” is an over-the-top, fast-paced parody of the Hitchcock film that careens from crisis to crisis, interpolated with shootings and chase scenes.
Director Gary John LaRosa helms a cast of four professional actors from the New York area. Matthew Krob, playing the lead character, is a picture-perfect example of sophisticated, virile manhood who is a perfect fit for the hero role, while Jessica Morgan adroitly plays his three dim-witted love interests.
Robert Rice and Danny Prather gallop
through a wide gamut of secondary parts, including policemen, railroad conductors, vaudeville actors and assorted villains.
Needless to say, the fiendishly clever Nazi plot unravels and Britain’s secrets are saved – with a million laughs.
Arundel Barn Playhouse, just off Route 1, presents “The 39 Steps” through June 25. Call 985-5552 or go to arundelbarn-playhouse.com.
Blistered Fingers Bluegrass Festival
It’s been a blue decade for Maine’s bluegrass fans, with two major festi-vals going out of business and a third transforming itself into something else. But one of the best of the rest is getting better. The Blistered Fingers Bluegrass Festival has a new venue at the Litchfield Fairground and the 2011 lineup of artists includes major national acts plus a vari-ety of local artists.
Most of the music is scheduled for Friday afternoon and evening, all day Saturday and Sunday into the early after-noon. Bring your own lawn chairs, plus sunscreen, bug dope and clothing suitable for chilly Maine evenings. (In case of rain, there’s a tent.)
The top three national headliners are Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Nothin’ Fancy and Dan Paisley & South-ern Grass. New England acts include Cumberland Crossing, Wilf Clark & The Misty Mountaineers, White Mountain Bluegrass and the host band, Blistered Fingers. The top Canadian act is Blue-grass Diamonds.
I’ve attended this alfresco shindig sev-eral times in the past, and this weekend I look forward to reacquainting myself with the Blistered Fingers Festival, and with Greg and Sandy Cormier, the energetic and affable Waterville couple who run the show. For details, including the full schedule, call 873-6539 or visit blisteredfingers.com.

absentee voting, the only other time to print that list, set up your polls, and do everything else is either before that time, or after that time. And it’s crazy.”
In South Portland, which can process as many as 6,500 absentee ballots in a big election, City Clerk Sue Mooney said she would also welcome restrictions on that type of voting – even if it was just a single business day – to give her office more time to prepare for Election Day.
“If (voters are) around the day before the election, (they) should be able to get to the polls on Election Day,” she said.
As for same-day registration, Mooney said she didn’t see a need for a ban. But she did note that over the last few years, political parties performed “significant” Wessler
from page 5
“It starts with the routine use of degrad-ing language that goes interrupted,” he said. “What they’re getting from the silence is that everyone thinks it’s OK.”
As an attorney, Wessler was frustrated with dealing with the aftermath of hate crimes, whether it was a cross-burning in Hallowell, an ex-boyfriend shooting into a second-floor apartment window in Brunswick where he thought his ex and a black boyfriend were staying, or a biracial woman getting a brick thrown at her in Portland.
“Prosecution is at the wrong end of the spectrum,” he said.
Wessler said he started the center to take a more proactive stand against discrimina-tion and harassment, trying to nip hate speech in the bud before it flowers into violence.
And Wessler said he has noticed a shift in the state’s culture since the center, which once employed 13 people, began its work.
“The great thing about Maine is that when there is a hate crime, people expect something to happen,” he said.
Wessler said he expects the center will be shuttered this fall. But he is confident that two of the center’s signature programs will continue: The Unity Project, which works to discourage bullying in schools, and the New Migration Project, which fights bias and discrimination against immigrants.
Those programs, especially the Unity Project, have not only been successful in

fetches much more than that in peak sum-mer months.
Councilor Michael Wood said it was a good deal to get a little less than peak price all year because there may be some months with no renter at all, during which the town would still get its money.
Town Manager Thomas Hall said the benefit of this arrangement is that the town will own an asset it doesn’t have to manage.
Despite Holbrook initially saying she’d vote against it, the proposal ultimately passed unanimously.
The other deals involve parking spaces near the Inn on Ocean and Greenwood avenues.
The first agreement leases a handful of parking spaces adjacent to the cottage at 41 Ocean Ave. to the inn. The agreement speci-fies one spot be reserved for the town and another the cottage’s tenant. The rest will be used by inn employees only.
In return, the inn’s staff will maintain the gate at the public parking lot behind the cot-tage, agreeing to open it around daybreak and close it at sunset. The agreements will last two years.
The second deal leases nine spaces on Greenwood Avenue to the Higgins Beach Inn for guests’ use from May 15 to Sept. 15 of each year. In return, the inn will pay the town $5,000 per year. The agreement will automatically renew each year.
Councilor Karen D’Andrea said she would be willing to support one of the above agree-ments, but not both. She argued the town was leasing away too many public parking spots.
“All of these parking spaces belong to the public,” she said. “I think that’s something we need to protect down there. ... We’ve taken away too many public spots and I think that’s wrong.”
Councilor Carol Rancourt agreed, saying the second deal should be more closely mod-eled on the public-private use agreement at Pine Point.
“If we’re going to make it exclusively for the inn, it seems $5,000 per year isn’t nearly enough — not for exclusive rights in the high point of summer.”
Wood again responded in favor of the agreements. He said trading spots for the inn staffing the gate at the public lot would save the town money in payroll. He also said businesses at Pine Point pay $5,000 to use the parking lots all year, so asking the same amount from the Higgins Beach Inn for four months seemed fair.
The deal for the parking spaces next to the cottage at 41 Ocean Ave. passed unanimously. The deal for the nine spots on Greenwood Avenue passed 4-3, with coun-cilors Holbrook, D’Andrea and Rancourt casting the dissenting votes.
In other business, the council unanimously approved a three-year contract for the town’s firefighters.
The contract includes concessions from the union for smaller wage increases to cover the cost of increased pension contributions from the town. The union also conceded to
a lesser medical insurance plan. Hall said the deal cost $10,000 less than had been budgeted for this fiscal year.
The council also accepted as presented a Red Brook Watershed plan that includes steps to improve the the health of Red Brook to meet Maine water quality stan-dards, protects and improves the watershed habitat for aquatic and land wildlife, and builds community support for protection and enhancement.
The town authorized a deal to place a parcel of wetland owned by Grondin Ag-gregates LLC into a conservation easement, permanently foregoing any development on the land. The town also accepted the land into town ownership.
Grondin created the wetland to mitigate wetland compromised in development at Portland Jetport.
Councilors also voted to extend the town manager’s contract for another three years.

outreach to citizens emphasizing the right to register on Election Day. It would be better, Mooney said, if the parties helped people to do so earlier.
“Rather than telling everybody, ‛oh, don’t worry about it, you can go and you can register to vote on Election Day,’ it should be in the opposite, that people are encouraged to make their change of address, or register to vote, before the election, and then come down and vote on Election Day,” she said.
While Mooney said she’d like to see same-day registration preserved for the benefit of those who “get behind the eight-ball,” Bath City Clerk Mary White wants to hold her residents to a higher standard, and she said she would support elimination of same-day registration.
“You have to pay your registration on your car, you have insurances, you have Maine, but in 26 other states and eastern
Europe. Wessler said the Unity Project has at one time or another been implemented in 80 to 90 schools, including 12 schools in Northern Ireland.
Although he is stepping down from the center, Wessler, who will turn 60, this sum-mer, said he does not pine for a tranquil retirement.
He plans to write at least one more book (Wessler previously authored “The Respectful School: How Educators and Students Can Conquer Hate and Harass-ment”) and continue teaching courses at the University of Southern Maine and Bates College.
He also plans to continue lecturing at conferences and training human rights workers, which has taken him to Israel, Palestine, Cairo, Jordan, and Morocco, among other places.
Wessler said he is disappointed the cen-ter will close and a group of hardworking people will lose their jobs.
“That’s been among the hardest part,” he said. “My overwhelming emotion is feeling sad – for the employees and for the loss of the work.”
But he takes pride in knowing that the aim of the center’s work will continue in one form or another, whether by other nonprofit groups or through his writing and speaking events.
“It’s really gratifying,” he said. “We have a model we know can travel.”

all this stuff,” White said. “You know that an election is coming up, you need to be more responsible.”
White said she keeps her office open on Saturdays prior to elections, so that residents can come in and fill out neces-sary paperwork. But, she said, Bath still averages 250 new or changed registrations each year, out of a total of 6,000 voters.
And because some of those people neglect to bring identification, or proof of residency, White occasionally has to challenge ballots, which grinds voting to a halt.
“You’re getting a line out the door, you’re getting people very upset at you, because they don’t understand the proce-dure,” she said. “We do have those people in line that are legit, and have every right
to be able to come in and vote, and we have to stop it for those who don’t take responsibility to come in ahead of time.”
Responsibility was a theme that was echoed by Smith, the Brunswick clerk, who said that she is concerned about the impact of the LD 1376. She worries she’ll have to turn people away from the polls.
“It’s going to break my heart when someone walks in, and they’re not able to vote because of the new law. Doesn’t mean they weren’t responsible to know about the new law, but it’s really diffi-cult. Especially if it’s a first-time voter, or someone who’s passionate about what they believe in,” she said. “I’ve been in this profession ... for about 17 years, and to do that is really difficult. But we will respect the law.”

will be far reaching.”Residents who voted against fees at
the park in the past expressed concerns about the potential negative impact on food vendors and the park gift shop if fees are imposed.
Bill Enman of Spurwink Avenue said he is “sick and tired” of talking about entrance fees at Fort Williams.
“This is a waste of time and a waste of money,” Enman said. “We voted for no fees and I think that’s what the citizens meant.”
In 2006, the council sent a pay-and-display vehicle parking fee question to a referendum, but voters rejected it by a margin of nearly 3-1. In 2009, the com-mission proposed an entrance fee plan for trolleys, tour buses and buses associated with recreational programs, starting with the 2011 summer season.
In 2010, Town Manager Mike McGov-ern met with tour bus representatives to discuss the fee proposals, the council voted 5-2 for parking fees, and voters once again defeated a parking fee refer-endum by a 2-to-1 margin.
Following the June 2010 referendum, the council decided against moving forward with tour bus fees for the 2011 season, but agreed to consider fees in an
overall plan for generating revenue for the park.
McGovern said while the latest pro-posal states that up to $36,000 could be generated from the bus and trolley fees, it does not include costs to collect the fees.
“My belief is that this needs more study and work,” he said.
Councilor Anne Swift-Kayatta said while she appreciates the work of the commission, she needs more information regarding the cost of fee collection and expenses associated with the proposal.
She also said it is not fair to have fees for buses, but not for cars.
Robinson Woods IIAfter an executive session and public
comment period, councilors unanimously allocated $150,000 from a land acquisi-tion fund and $200,000 from a 20-year bond to help purchase nearly 64 acres of land next to Robinson Woods.
Kayatta offered an addition to the proposal to encourage “a respectful discussion” between the land trust and the town regarding moving part of the Shore Road Pathway into the Robinson Woods property in order to save money and avoid construction along Shore Road.
She proposed the town and the trust work together to discuss the opportu-
painting another tank.Jean Maginnis, founder and executive
director for MCC, said when the project is complete it will be the world’s larg-est piece of public art. Some 261,000 square feet of fuel tank will be covered in paint — eight full tanks and the tops of eight more. Maginnis said the project was designed with a Google Earth-level view in mind.
“Very interesting people have given to

nity, which could potentially save up to $75,000 in pathway construction costs and maintain the rural character of Shore Road.
“In my mind there is not just one project,” she said, speaking of both the Robinson Woods II land acquisition and the Shore Road Pathway. “The second piece to this is that maybe we could save the taxpayers $75,000 in construction costs and avoid significant changes to Shore Road if the path were to be moved inland, and not right along Shore Road, as it is currently planned.”
The land acquisition would cost $1.1 million and nearly double the 80-acre Robinson Woods off Shore Road.
Chris Franklin, executive director of CELT, said a partnership with the town would help the organization reach its recreation and land conservation goals.
“Few decisions that this council, that this town can make that will be looked at 25, 50, even 100 years from now will have the type of lasting impact as acqui-sitions such as this,” he said. “The pres-ervation of those select places in Cape Elizabeth is a gift for future generations.”
While Jim Schaffer of Shore Road, Ogden Williams of Beach Bluff Terrace and Pond Cove Elementary teacher Ingrid Stressenger enthusiastically supported the proposal to help acquire the land, Enman said he didn’t understand how the council
could try to find savings in the budget and then spend $350,000 on land.
“The more money that goes into land trust, the higher our taxes go,” he said.
Councilor Jessica Sullivan said she struggled with the issue and is worried about borrowing $200,000. She said it is a wonderful opportunity, but it also cre-ates more town debt.
“I am in favor of open space, but what comes back to me is that we are spending taxpayer money,” she said. “When we add to town debt we then require funds be paid by our citizens. What we decide here takes money from their pocket.”
The $350,000 will be transferred to the land trust after the funds needed to pay the $1.1 million is fully collected and when the town receives a public access easement over the trust property. If funds are not collected for the land, the $350,00 will be returned to the land acquisition fund.
The council also voted to refinance an existing bond borrowed in 2001 for reno-vation of the Public Safety building, the Community Center and other projects. McGovern said the refinancing could save the town up to $240,000, depending on interest rates.

this project,” Maginnis said, and not just in the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated. Web, design, writing, public relations and legal service providers have all donated countless hours of work toward the project, she said.
“This project has really engaged the community,” Maginnis said.
Engagement is a central focus, for both the project and in Gili’s design.
“Putting art and industry together makes for an unusual dichotomy that
sparks more energy and economic re-vitalization,” Maginnis said. “We can transform our community by putting art and industry together.”
In 2009, Gili described his design as “like an explosion in your eye.” Lines and colors intersect on a giant scale on the round canvases. As the observer moves around the work — by train, plane, boat or car — the shapes move and change.
“The shapes take a different perspec-tive depending on where you are, how fast you’re moving,” Maginnis said. “The artist was very conscious of making a design that kept people engaged.”
There is no deadline for Art All Around to be complete, Maginnis said. Fundrais-ing will be one determining factor, but so will the weather. Rolf Westphal of Sprague Energy said it takes crews of painters four to six weeks to finish a tank, and humid weather causes problems.
But Maginnis is optimistic the funding will come through and the project will be completed.
“We think Maine is a place that values quality,” she said.

Farmers’ marketfrom page 1
Comment on this story at:http://www.theforecaster.net/weblink/92783
post office and City Hall, not to mention shops, markets, restaurants and other businesses.
De Angelis said this makes it the most logical place for a vibrant hub in South Portland.
“We’ve always wanted Knightville-Mill Creek to be our downtown,” she said. “I see the farmers’ market as play-ing a key role in that.”
De Angelis said the previous limita-tions, in addition to a $100 stall fee for vendors that councilors struck earlier, had doomed the farmers’ market.
A small-scale farmer herself, De An-gelis said farmers were already selling their goods at a market held Saturday mornings at Deering Oaks in Portland.
“No one signed up, and it fizzled out,” said Caitlin Jordan of Alewives Brook Farm in Cape Elizabeth, who also runs the Scarborough Farmers’ Market. “But right now, buying local, shopping at farmers markets is really popular again. We thought we might try again.”
And try they did.
Jordan, De Angelis and Penny Jordan of Jordan’s Farm in Cape Elizabeth (who Caitlin Jordan said is most likely a distant relative) began meeting last winter with
members of the Knightville-Mill Creek Neighborhood Association and the Wa-terfront Market Association.
De Angelis said it was crucial to have the involvement of “all the players” in Knightville.
“They’re the ones who live and work there,” she said. “It’s a mixed-use neigh-borhood. So if the businesses aren’t happy and the residents aren’t happy about how this is going to come together, it won’t work.”
Leah Lippman, chairwoman of the neighborhood association, said she is excited to draw more people deeper into Knightville.
The rerouting of the Casco Bay Bridge in 1997 diverted traffic to Broadway,away from the Knightville-Mill Creek area. Since then, Lippman said the name of the game in the neighborhood has been revitalization.
“This is one of the things, farmers’ markets, that are going to be a destina-tion for a lot of people,” she said. “A lot more people are going to venture down to the end of Knightville, and they’ll see everything going on down there.”
Bob O’Brian and Michael Vaillancourt of the Waterfront Market Organization met with De Angelis and company. They were the ones who pushed to locate the farmers’ market in Thomas Knight Park, rather than near the Hannaford super-
market on Ocean Street, the first location floated by market supporters.
“It’s a great way to get people down to the end of the point, down past all the merchants at the north end of Cot-tage Road and Ocean Street,” O’Brien said. “If it were somewhere else, like Mill Creek, it wouldn’t really benefit the merchants.”
O’Brien hopes the farmers’ market will attract boaters, who could pull ashore near the park to buy provisions at the market or any of the businesses in the waterfront area.
“That park is completely below the radar of most people,” O’Brien said. “But it’s a really cool spot.”
Moving forwardNow that the city’s regulations are
more amenable to the farmers’ market, De Angelis and the two Jordans hope to hold the first farmers’ market on July 14.
But first they’ll have to build the nec-essary organizational structure, and get farmers on board.
De Angelis said she’ll be visiting farm-ers’ markets in the greater Portland area to solicit farmers to sell their goods in South Portland.
Caitlin Jordan said that once farmers
are on board, they’ll have to form a South Portland Farmers’ Market Associa-tion to run the day-to-day operations of the market.
The mayor also said she hopes to form an advisory committee with representa-tives from the farmers, city, neighbor-hood association and Waterfront Market Association.
The committee, she said, will meet once before and once after the growing season to address the needs of the farm-ers’ market to help ensure its success.
The organizers are also making plans to ensure their farmers’ market has some-thing unique to offer.
“We want to have an educational com-ponent,” Caitlin Jordan said. “Every week there would be something everyone could learn, like how to freeze tomatoes or how to jar or sauce vegetables.”
The mayor also hopes the market will be successful enough in the summer months that South Portland can eventual-ly open an off-season market, somewhere indoors where local vendors can sell their products during the winter.
“If Portland can do it,” De Angelis said, “we ought to be able to do it.”
