By Andrew CullenPORTLAND For years, the residents of

the neighborhood around Torrey and Wellwood streets off of Ocean Avenue have hiked, biked, ice skated, and walked their dogs through the woods that stretch from their back yards to Canco Road.Now, the land is under contract to a potential

buyer, and without knowing who the buyer might be or what the plans are for the land, the neighborhood has come together to try to protect what one resident called one of Portlands last wild spaces.

This neighborhood has a long history with that land, both in terms of other proposed de-velopment over the last 25 years or so ... but also, the neighborhood to some extent has been unofficial stewards of the land, said Tobin Scipione, president of the Back Cove Neighbor-hood Association.The woods are not expansive with the trees

still bare of leaves, houses and Canco Road businesses are visible from nearly every point along a network of informal but well-kept trails

City Council OKs $1.8M in community grantsBy Andrew CullenPORTLAND The City

Council on Monday unanimously approved the city managers plan to distribute $1.8 million in fed-eral Community Development Block Grants.The big winners include the

Abyssinian Meeting House and the Maine Irish Heritage Center, organizations dedicated to pre-serving Portlands cultural history, which were at risk of not receiv-ing funding under one of the op-tions presented to the council by City Manager Mark Rees.After reviewing the recommen-

Councilors wary of tax increase in proposed city budgetBy Andrew CullenPORTLAND Less than a

week after receiving City Man-ager Mark Rees budget proposal for fiscal year 2013, members of the City Council finance com-mittee were already convinced it wouldnt get their recommenda-tion.On Thursday, April 5, the com-

mittee conferenced on the overall budget proposal after a meeting to parse out Rees specific recom-mendations for the Police, Fire, Public Services, and Public Health and Human Services departments.

dations of a scoring committee that assessed the needs of each of the almost 40 applicants, Rees gave the council two plans to dis-tribute the grants.The first provided nearly

$249,000 for a street lighting proj-ect on Cumberland Avenue, but left the Abyssinian Meeting House and the Irish Heritage Center un-funded, and the Catherine Morrill Day Nursery more than $100,000 short of its funding needs for a window and restoration project.The second option provided

Beth Connors, who works at the Maine Department of Environmental Protection office on Canco Road, walks the trails in Canco Woods during a lunch break Monday. Neighbors have used the woods as a recreational area for years and are afraid the pending sale of the property will spell the end of their unofficial trail system. I find its a great resource to have, Connors said.

Rees presented his budget rec-ommendations to the City Council just a few days before, on April 2. His $206.8 million proposal, if passed as is, would result in a 2.9 percent hike in property taxes.The early consensus among

the committee members at the Thursday meeting was that Rees proposed budget was too high, and the tax hike too great.I think people are seeing

the face numbers on it. People are having sticker shock on it,

New Veterans Memorial Bridge nears completionBy Andrew CullenPORTLAND 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 traffic by July.On Tuesday, the $63 million bridge ap-

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

Tonys Donuts ready to roll out South Portland expansionBy Mario MorettoPORTLAND No matter what gim-

micks, marketing schemes or luck you fold into your dough, Rick Fournier says

Rick Fournier, owner of Tonys

Donuts, in his basement office. He said expanding the business to

South Portland is the first step of a growth plan that will eventually include

franchises.

Mario Moretto / the Forecaster

Trays full of fresh-baked, handmade donuts await the hungry at Tonys Donuts on Bolton Street in Portland. Tonys is set to expand to a second location on Broadway in South Portland

this year.

selling doughnuts comes down to just one thing: flavor.So what makes his Tonys Donuts such a

long-lived success, despite stiff competition

from local bakeries and national chains?Ive 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, Tonys Donuts is planning to open a second bak-ery at 1059 Broadway in South Portland. Fournier expects the new shop to open in fall 2012.Its a great location, and its about time

we expand, Fournier said.Fournier said hed been in negotiations

with the South Portland property owner for more than two years. He wouldnt say how much he paid for the roughly half-acre parcel and a 1,400-square-foot retail build-ing, but the sites assessed value is about $265,000, according to South Portland tax documents.The building on Broadway was a gas

station for decades, first Chevron and then Irving, and has been vacant and boarded up for five years.

Tonys Donuts was opened in 1965, by Fourniers 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 Tonys

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 Tonys for $1.50. Those prices keep the six or so tables at Bolton Street packed most of the day, and the same prices will

Citizenship ceremony hits close to home for Portland studentBy Gillian GrahamPORTLAND Iqra Noor didnt know

until the night before that the naturalization ceremony she planned with her classmates would feature an extra special new citizen: her mother.Noor, an 11-year-old sixth-grader at

Lyman Moore Middle School, applauded alongside her classmates as 36 people from 19 countries took the oath of U.S. citizen-ship on Friday, April 6, in the school gym.The 38 new citizens came from Argenti-

na, Cameroon, Canada, China, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Iraq, Ireland, Jamaica, Neth-erlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Romania, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, United Kingdom and Vietnam.After passing out red, white and blue car-

nations to new citizens, Noor made her way through the crowd to her smiling mother, who was waiting to pose for photos and celebrate with family.This is really cool because my mom

has been studying for the test and she passed, Noor said. Im glad this was at my school.Her mother, Nasra Ahmed, moved to

Portland from Somalia six years ago. She said the day was even more special because she took the oath at the school where her

daughter studies.Im very happy, Ahmed said.Noor said she helped her mother study

for the 100 questions about U.S. govern-ment and history that can be asked during the citizenship test. They sat down each night for a quiz until her mother was ready for the test.I didnt even know half of them, Noor

said.Though Noor didnt realize her mothers

ceremony would be at the school until the day before, she said her classmates were excited, if a bit surprised.Some of them were really surprised

because they thought my mom was already

a citizen, she said. Some of them were really happy for me and my mom.Noor may have been the only student

with a personal connection to this particular ceremony, but many other students have witnessed the process first-hand as their parents and grandparents became citizens, said social studies teacher David Hilton, who helped students organize the event.This is a wonderful connection to our

sixth-grade focus on citizenship, Hilton said.Students have been studying the history

of immigration by reading plays, cartoons and short stories. Before the ceremony, they created a brightly colored hall of flags representing the new citizens countries of origin. They also made a small gift bag for each new citizen and hosted a reception before the ceremony.Social studies teacher Jon Roderick said

students also will engage in a hands-on project where they take on the identity of an immigrant, to experience what it was like to go through Ellis Island in New York.Roderick said the experience of organiz-

ing and watching a naturalization ceremony

is invaluable for students, because it helps them connect classroom learning with the greater community. This is the kind of thing kids remember

because its real and its special, he said.Christina Matos, 12, said it was fun to

watch the excitement of the new citizens during the ceremony.It meant a lot to me. Thats the last thing

I thought Id be able to do in school. It helps me learn what (new citizens) need to do and how much they have to go through, she said. ... I think Ill remember this for a long time.During the ceremony, Principal Stephen

Rogers recounted his own experiences with immigration and citizenship. He said his grandfather moved to the United States from Greece about 100 years ago at age 13, and, more recently, his own wife became a citizen.Rogers praised students for organiz-

ing the ceremony and said the experience makes learning more relevant and mean-ingful.We like to extend our studies beyond the

classroom and into the real world, he said.Gillian Graham can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or [email protected]. Follow her on Twitter:

Initiative seeks greater inclusion of immigrant youthBy Gillian GrahamPORTLAND Several local organiza-

tions will use a $68,000 grant to identify and reduce the barriers to the full inclusion of immigrant and refugee youth in greater Portland.The Hudson Foundation grant will allow

LearningWorks to partner with The Institute for Civic Leadership and Steve Wessler, founder and former director of the Center for Preventing Hate, on the Partners for Empowering Immigrant Youth initiative.The Portland-based Hudson Foundation

is a private family foundation that awards grants to nonprofits that serve the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized people, as well as community-based programs that empower at-risk immigrant and refugee youth.Joel Russ, partnership director, said the

intent of the initiative is to identify bar-riers, gaps in service and programs that could help prevent immigrant and refugee youth from disproportionately dropping out of school and coming in contact with the criminal justice system. Barriers arise from many factors, in-

cluding the need to achieve fluency in English, anti-immigration and racial bias, adjustments to a new culture, and lack of access to and understanding of community resources, Russ said. If we are to reduce the disproportion-

ate number of immigrant/refugee youth dropping out of school and involved in the juvenile justice system, we need to engage a new approach rather than simply do more than we are already doing, LearningWorks

Chief Executive Officer Ethan Strimling said in a prepared statement. Talking the time now to better understand the underly-ing factors contributing to this complex issue will not only significantly improve the likelihood of more positive outcomes in the community, but also serve as a model for other communities to follow and achieve similar results.During the next year, the partners will

conduct an evaluation of those barriers through conversations with as many as 125 youth and their families, focus groups, com-munity engagement activities and research.The intent is to develop a program that

is responsive to what we have learned, Russ said, adding information will be dis-tributed statewide so other communities can benefit from the initiative.The process will include inventory of

existing programs that assist immigrant and refugee families and the identification of gaps in service to better understand what is missing that would help youth become more integrated and included in the com-munity, he said.We dont have a full understanding as

a community of what all those (available) services are, Russ said.He said one of the symptoms of the

challenge of integrating immigrants into the community initiative partners are most interested in learning more about is the number of young minority and immigrant men and women who have contact with the juvenile justice system.Maines Juvenile Justice Advisory Group

has acknowledged that, despite the relative-

ly small number of minorities in the state, the national trend toward disproportionate minority contact with the juvenile justice system is an issue locally.In Cumberland, York and Androscoggin

counties, juvenile arrests of black youth were 1.88 times the number of white youth, and referrals of black youth to juvenile court were 3.98 times that of white youth, according to a 2009 report from the Juve-nile Justice Advisory Group.LearningWorks already has in place pro-

grams for the immigrant/refugee population that include language and vocational train-ing, employment opportunities, after-school activities, a mentoring programing and civic leadership development, Russ said.

It has become increasingly evident that despite the best intentions and targeted ef-forts by a network of educators and service providers to meet the needs of our immi-grant/refugee youth, we are still not making significant enough progress. And we dont know why, Russ, Wessler and Jan Kearce of the Institute for Civic Leadership wrote in a project description.We believe that simply expanding ex-

isting programming or investing further in programming based on assumptions and intuition will not produce significantly greater results for immigrant youth, nor will it transform our approach, they continued. We want to work smarter, not harder.Gillian Graham can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or

News briefsgreat work the school is doing.Our goal will continue to be making

our learning meaningful and relevant by extending it beyond the four walls of the classroom, he said in a prepared statement. Our school will work as a team to ensure that all of our student exit with the knowl-edge, skills and habits to be successful in high school and beyond.Rogers, who has coached several sports

and the Portland High School math team, holds a bachelors degree from Bowdoin College and a masters in educational ad-ministration from the University of South-ern Maine.

Coffee pioneers now exploring solar systemBy Andrew CullenPORTLAND A tangle of fat electric

wire tentacles, maybe a dozen, reached out from a street-side utility pole toward Coffee By Designs Washington Avenue roastery, starkly visible from the second floor conference room where Mary Allen Lindemann sat explaining why, by weeks end, the local caffeine experts will scarcely have need for them.On Monday, the popular coffee chain

began installing a 44-panel solar energy system on the roof that shelters their offices, roastery, and satellite coffee shop. It should meet much of their electricity needs and bring them one step closer to the companys ultimate goal of 100 percent sustainability.Its so core to who we are as a company.

This is a dream come true, said Linde-mann, who co-owns the company with her husband, Alan Spear.They have already instituted programs

to compost their coffee grounds, recycle as much as possible at the four Coffee By De-

Run for clean water on Earth Day in PortlandBy Amber CroninPORTLAND 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 be raise funds to support clean water education.We are using the race as a way to teach

people about storm water runoff, where it

sign locations, and keep the main roasting and grinding operation on the Portland pen-insula, within walking or biking distance of most employees homes.With the solar system producing enough

energy to power two homes each year, were going to be self sufficient or close to it, Lindemann said.For us its just a win-win project, she

said, one that allows them to honor environ-mental obligations, and save money at the same time nearly $2,000 a year, according to the companys application for a $20,000 grant from Efficiency Maine that allowed the company to go ahead with the project.Jen Hatch, the marketing manager for

ReVision Energy, a company that special-izes in solar heating and electricity, and will install CBDs system, said installing a solar energy system is akin to prepaying for electricity, while guaranteeing that the power is free for as much as 40 years. Car-bon dioxide emissions, too, will be slashed.After the grant and Maine tax credits,

the coffee companys investment in clean energy will pay for itself within eight years, according to Hatch. Lindemann said the project will pay for itself in just four.Its also a project that nearly didnt hap-

pen. After securing the grant funding in 2010, the company found itself desperate to expand its roasting operation and forced to rent more warehouse space. A new roof demanded further delays.Our personal investment is going to

be well over $20,000, Lindemann said. The company has never had a steady line of credit, she said; she and Spear prefer to invest in new equipment only when they are certain they can pay for it.But when ReVision, which acted as a

consultant on the original grant proposal two years ago, called earlier this year to ask if CBD planned on letting the April 30 deadline to use the grant funding go by, Lindemann and Spear realized they couldnt pass up the opportunity, she said.Just a few months earlier, the solar roof

might have seemed too far off to reach, but things began to line up. A January coffee price hike had increased revenues, and with little prodding, a bank had lined up credit. The new warehouse operation had settled down into a routine; mild spring weather meant that re-roofing the building was completed quickly.Everything was making us realize that it

was really just silly not to move forward on this, Lindemann said.The project will further cement CBDs

place as an environmental leader in the business sphere, Hatch said, but its also gaining traction with another, perhaps more important constituency: customers.I dont remember when wed had that

many likes on our Facebook page as on April 5, when they posted that the installa-tion was about to begin, Lindemann said. I wish it had been about coffee, but people were really excited about it.Andrew Cullen can be reacher at 781-3661 ext. 100, or at

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 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

Theatre company relaunches in Portland, Bath with LascauxBy Alex LearPORTLAND More than 70 years ago,

Christina Teale of South Portland: A passion for musicBy David TreadwellSOUTH PORTLAND Music is Chris-

tina Teales passion.I couldnt live without music, she said.

Its my thing. For the last few years, Teales passion

has been applied to numerous behind-the-scenes tasks for the Portland Symphony Orchestra. At home, she has another major passion:

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 colleges culture unsuited to her tastes. After two years, she transfered to the University of Edinburgh 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 admissions 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: administrative assistant in charge of arts for the Fulbright Commission.It was a perfect job for me, Teale said,

You cant 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 filling

Mexican food) took us through the driving hell that is

southeastern Connecticut, over the Hudson River, and then through the woods to grandmothers 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 Ive 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, theyd also rather drive in endless circles searching 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 couldnt understand what all of the whining was about, and found myself feeling increasingly thankful for the perspective (and skills) I acquired growing up in the tri-state New York metropolitan area. For instance, when you learn to drive in northern New

Jersey, its on par with having been thrown into the deep

end of the pool by a cruel parent as a method for learn-ing to swim; its 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, youre probably not going to fare too well when driving into a proverbial lions 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. Im in denial about this, however, until I do the N.J. trip, and then boom! Im zipping in and out of traffic, braking, accelerating, mumbling thoughtfully

Closing of Stonyfield Cafe a huge loss I was stunned and saddened to read of the sudden

closing of the Stonyfield Cafe. It was one of the first restaurants 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 empha-sized delicious, healthy food at a moderate price. What a

great concept; we were sold.It was the fa-

vorite place of our grandkids, who couldnt get enough of

the yummy flatbread, and I met friends many times there for lunch. It was sad when ONaturals 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. Its a sad statement of the times when such a good restaurant cant remain open. Im bereft.

The end isnt 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 Whats 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.Theres 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 its 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 wont 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 ones own lifetime is egocentric. Its 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 dont believe the end is near,

and if it is, Im 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. Wouldnt 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. Its what Jesus taught. Its 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 theyre not embarrassed by their obsession, youd think theyd be concerned about secrecy and security.Now, hard on the heels of Doomsday Preppers

we also have the Discovery Channels 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. Im 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.Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in

the more I appreciate the opportunity to use my driv-ing skills when Im in more challenging landscapes. I inevitably experience that Yes! Ive still got it! feeling, and find myself delighted by my inner Mario Andretti.Like everything in life, its all about balance: the yin

I still dont relish getting stuck on the Tappan Zee Bridge for half an hour, but as the years go by, driving to New Jersey for some corn has an in-creased appeal.No Sugar Added is Cape Elizabeth resident Sandi

60, died at home on April 1 after a three-year battle against ovarian cancer.She was born on July 4, 1951, in

Freeport, Ill. Independence day, with its fireworks and festivity, always held a spe-cial place in her heart and was a day she celebrated with vigor. Raised all over the state of Illinois, she

left the state to attend college at Valparaiso University in Indiana. After graduating, she moved to New York City and appreciated all the city had to offer. In 1978, she graduated from Vanderbilt Law School and began her legal practice as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn.While studying at Vanderbilt, she met her
