The Forecaster, Portland edition, October 17, 2012

By Marena BlanchardPORTLAND — Police and

members of the public gathered last Friday to find common ground on bias-based profil-ing, a topic that affects Maine’s diverse populations and general public safety.

In 2009, a bill was introduced in the 124th Maine Legislature to ban racial profiling. While legislators questioned whether it was really a problem in Maine, the Advisory Commit-tee on Bias-based Profiling by Law Enforcement Officers and Law Enforcement Agencies

was established to examine the question.

The committee was tasked with data collection, establish-ing policies and developing training to address any identi-fied problems, and to foster a meaningful dialogue about perceptions between the public and law enforcement.

Friday’s Advisory Committee forum in the Rines Auditorium at Portland Public Library drew about 60 members of the public, civil rights advocates, govern-

Longfellow Elementary School are running against stereotypes through a program focused on building self-esteem in adolescent girls.

The girls, all in grades three through five, are participating in a 10-week training program with Girls on the Run, an international program

that works with communities and schools to inspire pre-teen girls to lead confident, happy and healthy lives by combining running with a confidence-boosting curriculum.

While running is at the heart of the program, it is not about who can run the fastest.

Maine’s public access ombudsman expects to be busyBy Will Graff

FREEPORT — Public access and freedom of information ad-vocates have long been calling for the appointment of an offi-cial to help the public navigate Maine’s freedom of access laws.

They got their wish in the last legislative session when two

bills passed, fully funding the state’s first public access om-budsman, with $88,000 in an-nual salary and benefits. Maine became the sixth state to create a public access ombudsman.

Attorney General William Schneider made the appointment in early September, selecting

his public information officer, Freeport resident Brenda Kielty. She will work in both capacities in the attorney general’s office until the PIO position is filled.

Kielty, an attorney, mediator and Regional School Unit 5 board member, said she believes freedom of access is funda-

Solution or problem? Council hears all sides on

affordable housingBy William Hall

PORTLAND — As it con-siders a sweeping new plan to reduce homelessness, the City Council grappled Monday night with one of its causes: lack of affordable housing.

The council voted unani-mously to direct federal funds to a plan for developing 35 affordable apartments at 409 Cumberland Ave. But members of the public used the opportu-nity to debate the availability and benefit of low-cost housing.

Elizabeth Road resident Ben-jamin Roberts told councilors that affordable housing is an “easy and quick fix” to the problem of homelessness, but that by reducing the availability

of market-rate apartments, it ultimately results in higher rents for everyone.

“While the intentions are good ... this is not a true market,” he said.

A Forest Avenue resident claimed that “there’s already a lot affordable housing in Port-land,” but that it is being “over-run and abused” by residents who don’t need the low rents or flout housing development rules.

“Portland can’t perpetuate the cycle and encourage more abuse,” the resident said.

Other speakers at the meeting supported the creation of more affordable housing in the city.

Schools to increase sustainability effortBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — The School Board has adopted a new sustainability policy.

The new policy commits the district to continuing its efforts in areas such as lowering energy consumption, reducing waste and promoting awareness of envi-ronmental sustainability among students and staff.

“We’ve made significant progress in the district over the last 10 years at im-proving our energy efficiency and becom-ing more environmentally responsible,” said Peter Eglinton, chief operations officer for the Portland Public Schools. “But going forward it helps to be able to acknowledge what has been done and set the expectation that in the future we plan to continue such activities, that this is not just a one time initiative but it’s something we consider important.”

Doug Sherwood, facilities coordinator for the district, said that the new policy brings many different initiatives the district has been working on in differ-ent parts of the organization under one umbrella.

He said that there have big changes in facilities over the past 10 years and with this new policy those changes will continue with things like the reduction of waste, heating oil and energy use.

Since 2003, Sherwood said, the district has reduced it’s annual oil consump-tion from 700,000 gallons to 500,000.

A similar trend has been found in both electrical consumption and waste reduc-tion. Waste pickups in the district have dropped from 99 per year to 58 and the electric consumption has dropped from 8 million kilowatts annually to just under 7 million kilowatts.

Sherwood said the next step is to move toward capturing “the next level of en-gagement” and that a committee will be formed to evaluate what the next thing to attack will be.

Several existing sustainable projects in the district have been championed by students and Eglinton said that the dis-trict would not be at the level it is today without such strong student involvement.

“(Students have) actually been the ones to identify a lot of the projects that we have done whether it’s part of the ex-peditionary learning at Casco Bay High School or King Middle School, environ-mental projects are frequently some of the more popular research projects and community projects to do,” he said.

For example, Eglinton said that stu-dents in Deering High School’s envi-ronmental club were instrumental in advocating for the waste reduction efforts in district cafeterias.

“There’s nothing stronger than having students within their own school be the ones that are championing these efforts,” he said. “If it weren’t for the students, we wouldn’t be as far along as we are today.”

Community gardens run by students will help to drive what Sherwood calls a “life cycle” and will not only help schools be more sustainable, but will help students learn.

“Composting started as waste in our cafeteria and is now feeding our commu-nity gardens which are feeding students, it’s a life cycle,” he said. “Eventually we hope this will lead to other changes in the organization. That (changes) will become part and parcel of different elements of the science, math or English programs, it’s just a starting point for integration of programs.”

He said that what makes Portland’s policy unique is that there is no mandate for a sustainability policy, it is just some-thing the district felt was important. Eg-linton added that not only will the policy help guide the district on sustainability-related issues, but it will help to guide comprehensive planning for the district.

“It will spur the development of formal protocols for how decisions are made,

what our targets are going to be and it will become a part of our comprehensive planning efforts and our multi-year bud-geting,” he said. “To have a policy that requires (sustainability) is an important motivator.”Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.

City prepares to update directional signsBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Drivers navigating city streets may soon find it easier to reach their destinations, thanks to new wayfinding signs being developed by the city.

With $50,000 in funding from the Port-land Area Comprehensive Transportation System, the city is creating a system of signs that will replace a hodgepodge collection of aging — and sometimes inaccurate – signs that have accumulated over the years.

The new signs have two goals, accord-ing to Jan Beitzer, executive director of Portland’s Downtown District, which is working with the other local groups and the city to develop the system.

“The principal goal is to move traffic in a way we want it to move, along the best and most efficient routes,” she said.

“But we also want tell drivers, ‘here’s something you might want to see.’”

The signs will be installed at key inter-sections within the peninsula, as well as near the University of Southern Maine, the rail and bus terminal at Thompson’s Point, and the airport.

Consistent, recognizable color coding will be used to guide drivers to six dis-tricts within the city: the East and West Ends, downtown, the waterfront, Bayside and Parkside. Other signs will direct travelers to popular sites and cultural at-tractions within the districts.

To make the signs quickly understand-able to passing drivers, the city may need to take some liberty in defining the districts, according to senior planner Bill Needleman.

William Hall / THe ForecasTerOne of the aging “hoop” signs on the Portland peninsula, which would be replaced by a new sign

system. This sign on Franklin Street near Commercial Street guides drivers to the international ferry, which has not operated since 2009.

“There may be individual blocks where the boundaries of a district are general-ized,” Needleman said. But overall, the areas will be clearly recognizable, he emphasized.

Work on the sign system is still in the early stages, with the city, community groups and a consultant now deciding

where the new signs will be installed. Their content and design still need to be developed, a process that will include public input.

Project will expand housing for at-risk women in PortlandBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Mercy Health System is moving its housing program for home-less, at-risk women to a new building that will than double the capacity of the program.

Mercy announced last week that the McAuley Residence will move in Janu-ary to an affordable-housing complex now being built at 68 High St.

McAuley will offer 16 transitional housing apartments for women and their children in a wing of the building, up from six apartments the program now op-erates a few blocks away, at 91 State St.

The building is the site of long-defunct Portland Children’s Hospital, and is be-ing renovated by Community Housing of Maine, a nonprofit developer of support-ive housing for people with disabilities and low incomes.

In 2010, Community Housing an-nounced plans to develop an affordable-housing complex on the hospital site and an adjacent vacant lot. The Elm Terrace complex is expected to open in January. But the project last year attracted critics, who complained that at $265,000, its units will be too expensive.

Built in 1909, the Children’s Hospital building is listed on the National Regis-ter of Historic Places. After the hospital closed in 1942, the building housed ad-ministrative and teaching offices for what is now the University of Southern Maine.

Meanwhile, plans continue for Mercy, which also operates 230-bed Mercy Hospital, to be sold to to Steward Health

Mercy Health System officials and contractors tour the future site of the McAuley Residence program, now under construction at 68 High St.

Tiny Portland district spawns 3-way House contestBy William Hall

PORTLAND — The race to represent District 119 in the state House is a com-petition between three candidates with vastly different levels of political experience.

Democrat Herb Adams, the longtime former rep-resentative for the dis-trict, is trying to reclaim the seat now held by Rep. Ben Chipman, U-Portland, who is seeking his second term. They are challenged by Republican Gwen Tuttle, a libertarian who has never served in elected office.

District 119 is one of the geographi-cally smallest House districts, covering

Portland’s Bayside, East Bayside and Parkside neighborhoods.

Chipman, 37, is a self-employed public policy advocate who has worked as a legislative aide to former Rep. Jon Eder.

Chipman said he has “given 110 percent” to his district during

his first term. Over the past two years, he has introduced 17 bills, four of which have been passed by the Legisla-ture. “That’s a lot for a first-

term legislator,” he said.He credits his success to be-

ing bipartisan.“Because I’m the only independent

in the House, both parties are willing to listen to my ideas,” he said. “And I’m willing to work with people, while ...

always thinking of what’s best for the neighborhoods I represent.”

Adams, 58, is a political science professor and author who represented District 119 from 2002-2010, when term limits prevented him from seek-ing re-election. He also served in the House from 1989-1997, and is a former Cumberland County register of probate.

Asked what sets him apart from his opponents, he said, “in a capsule, energy, experience, enthusiasm and accomplish-ment.”

Tuttle, 27, is a social worker for Catho-lic Charities who said her experience will serve her well in the Legislature.

“I am not a politician ... but my back-ground makes me an incredibly strong candidate, especially in my district,” she

said. “I think I’m bet-ter equipped to deal with social issues than Ben or Herb.”

Business in MaineAll three candi-

dates said they sup-port the use of ed-ucation to create a more highly skilled workforce that will be highly employable and attract business to Maine.

Chipman advo-cates offering free, merit-based college education to low-income residents. He admitted that doing so would be expen-sive, but said, “How can we afford not to do it?”

He noted that some of the costs could be paid by not imple-menting tax cuts that have been approved, but have not gone into effect.

Adams called education “the best in-vestment in business” that “always pays off.” In the Legislature, he said he would support efforts to keep recent college graduates in the state, such as the Oppor-tunity Maine tax incentive he sponsored in 2007.

Adams also said Maine should do more to promote its tourism industry, espe-cially with visitors who are interested in the state’s thriving arts scene.

While Tuttle supports educating the state’s workforce, she said the state must also look for industries that are best suited to its resources and people. She also said that creating a well-educated workforce begins at in high school.

“We keep injecting more money into school budgets, but not really looking at whether or not the schools are working, or why,” she said. “We really owe it to our children to create schools that are adequately preparing them.”

Social welfareWhen it comes to social services, Chip-

man called recent budget cuts to Main-eCare and other programs short-sighted.

“If we deny health care to people, they’re going to wind up in the ER, and

On Aug. 20, Mercy announced it had signed a non-binding letter of intent to negotiate its sale to Steward, which op-erates 10 community hospitals in eastern Massachusetts.

If successful, the sale would be the first acquisition in Maine of an acute-care hospital by a for-profit company.

The sale would have to be approved by state and federal regulators, a process that could last well into 2013.

it’s going to cost more in the long run,” he said. “And the outcomes are going to be worse.”

“We need to go back and undo the cuts,” he added, and said he believes the state has the financial resources to do so.

Adams said that budget cuts to social welfare programs violate the state’s ob-ligation to the people it serves. “State budgets are moral documents,” he said. “(The budget cuts) show no respect to clients, to towns or to taxpayers.”

He said eliminating state services ul-timately shifts their costs to municipali-ties, which often have little choice but to increase property taxes.

“The needs do not go away; the people do not vanish,” he said.

Tuttle, however, believes the state can do more with the resources it has. While program cuts “just perpetuate the cycle of poverty,” she said that as a social worker she has “experienced inefficiencies in the system first-hand.”

“The Department of Health and Human Services is poorly managed, although they’re trying to do the best they can,” she said, noting that the state should

She also believes that social programs should do more to cultivate personal re-sponsibility in the people it serves.

“Personal empowerment and respon-sibility, taking charge and utilizing what you have to be successful ... those are qualities I try to develop in my clinical practice, but they’re lacking in Augusta when it comes to our social programs,” Tuttle said.

New energy sourcesChipman said the state must do “what-

ever it can” to increase its energy inde-pendence. And while he’s excited about the potential of tidal power and other alternative energy sources, he said the

state should start by investing more in energy conservation programs such as Efficiency Maine.

Home weatherization and other con-servation measures produce immediate energy savings, and also “put people to work in our neighborhoods and home towns,” he said.

Adams believes Maine must look for home-grown energy solutions to increase its energy independence. “Mainers are practical people,” he said. “We need to emphasize energy sources that we don’t have to import, and that no one can take from us.”

He is a proponent of alternative energy sources that are “small, numerous, nearby and locally owned,” he said. Tidal power is an especially attractive option, Adams said, and Maine is already using it to gen-erate electricity on a commercial scale.

Like Chipman, Tuttle believes the state should do more to promote home weath-erization, she said, especially given the high cost of heating oil in the state.

yes on Question 1, the state referendum asking if Maine should issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Similar roots produce political contrast in House District 120By William Hall

PORTLAND — Two-term incumbent state Rep. Diane Russell, D-Portland, is being challenged by libertarian Repub-lican, and political newcomer, Davian Akers in House District 120.

District 120 includes the city’s East End, Old Port and downtown.

While the candidates disagree on subjects from job creation to energy independence, they said their working-class roots have influenced their political perspectives.

Russell, 36, is a public relations con-sultant who first sought office while working as a clerk at Colucci’s Hilltop Market on Munjoy Hill. She still can be found serving customers there each

Monday.“I have a connection with my district

that most legislators don’t get to have,” she said. “Working behind the counter, I know my constituents. They’re not just voters, they’re my friends. I know their kids, I know their dogs, I know their stories.

“I never forget where I came from, or who I rep-resent ... there’s a level of accountability there. I just don’t want to let my people down.”

Akers, 31, started work at age 10, helping out at a vegetable stand in Casco. Later, he went into his family’s flooring business, and then worked in sales for a marketing firm. Recently laid off from that job, he has refused to apply for unemployment benefits. Instead, he is devoting his time to campaigning.

“I could just sit in front of the TV and get angry about the situation I’m in, and that the nation’s in,” he said. “But I de-cided to do something about it.

“People have a responsibility to live their lives independently. We don’t need government controlling our lives.”

Business in MaineAkers said that increasing such inde-

pendence from government will help Maine attract businesses and ultimately create jobs. He praised the tax cuts of Gov. Paul LePage’s administration as a “great step” toward business growth, and said he’d “like to see more of that.”

A former restaurant server, Akers said he advocates eliminating taxes on gratu-ities, a major source of income for the state’s many hospitality workers.

He also said he supports the “stripped-down form of gov-

ernment” in New Hamp-shire, which has no sales tax or state income tax and where taxes that do exist “don’t cater to a lot of (benefit) programs.”“Maine has always been

an independent state,” he said. “We can follow suit.”

At the same time, Akers said he’d like to see the state government take a more active role in marketing Maine as a busi-ness destination.

“Why is Maine behind the times in marketing? I would like to see Maine evolve into a more vibrant, business-friendly state, and we can do that if we do more to market our uniqueness,” he said.

In contrast, Russell said the state al-ready is friendly to businesses.

“Frankly, the idea that we’re not business-friendly is not reflective of reality,” she said, citing the success of small businesses in Portland as proof. Tax incentives, she said, are not the key to economic growth.

“Business owners say, No. 1, they don’t need new tax breaks. They need customers,” she said. “And No. 2, they need access to affordable capital.”

One solution, according to Russell,

is the creation of a state-owned bank that would hold public funds and then part-ner with community banks to offer low-cost loans to local businesses.

The state bank would plow invest-ments back into the community while freeing capital for business growth, ac-cording to Russell.

“You would be addressing a core component of what small business own-ers consistently say they need,” she said. “And one of the returns on investment is the creation of jobs in the local community, which leads to spending money ... and creating cus-tomers, which is the other component.”

The idea is modeled after the success of the Bank of North Dakota, the only state bank in the nation, she said. In 2011, she introduced legislation to create a similar bank in Maine, but the bill was defeated in committee.

Russell said the proposal is one part of a comprehensive platform she calls her Maine Street Economic Opportunity Agenda, which also includes steps such

Commenting on the plan’s goals, she said, “People should be climbing into the middle class, not falling out of it.”

Social welfareWhen it comes to social services, Ak-

ers said he empathizes with people who receive public benefits. “I’m running as a Republican, but that doesn’t mean I’m insensitive,” he said.

At the same time, he said he is “blown away by the loopholes in the system,” and that Maine needs to do a better job of stamping out inefficiency and abuse in its welfare programs.

“If our programs are not efficient, then restructure them or close them down,” he said. “We shouldn’t be in the business of just handing out cash ... the state has been pandering to people without really en-couraging prosperity and responsibility.”

Again, he used New Hampshire as an example. “(New Hampshire) has fewer (social welfare) programs, but the ones they have work well,” he said.

While Russell also supports closer management of programs such as Main-eCare, she said all public expenditures should be scrutinized equally.

“Why are we having a conversation about welfare for parents who are trying to put food on the table for their kids, when we’re not having a conversation about corporate welfare?” she said. “I’m not immune to the idea that we should restructure the Department of Health and Human Services, but if we’re going to have a conversation about that, why aren’t we having a conversation about where (tax breaks) are going?

“We live in a society where we take care of each other ... In these economic times, millionaires should be giving to charity, not asking for it from their gov-ernment.”

She said the state needs to continue providing consistent, predictable social services, and that disrupting those ser-

vices can be more costly.“It requires oversight, but if these ser-

vices are managed, people can live full, healthy lives, and be less dependent on the system,” Russell said.

New sources of energyBoth Akers and Russell said they are

open to greater use of alternative energy sources in Maine. But Russell said dis-cussions of the state’s support for solar, wind and tidal power miss a fundamental issue.

“Before we get caught up in (alterna-tive energy), let’s capitalize on the energy we’re wasting,” she said. “The cheapest form of energy is energy never used.”

Weatherizing more houses in Maine could save the state 30 to 40 percent of its home energy costs, while reducing the environmental impact of fossil fuels, according to Russell. In addition, energy efficiency programs can have economic benefits, she said.

“The money we save through energy efficiency, instead of going to Wall Street or Saudi Arabia, gets recycled in the local economy. It puts real people to work,” she said.

But she believes the state must do more to support energy efficiency. “The gover-nor has gone out of his way to denigrate

and disintegrate the energy efficiency programs in our state,” Russell said.

Akers, however, believes that Maine’s energy independence hinges on private industry.

He admitted that as a result of the oil industry’s influence, “no one has been honest about the potential of alternative energy.”

Still, he said, “I’m all for private-sector development (of energy resources). Gov-ernment is not an energy business.”

Same-sex marriageBoth Akers and Russell said they will

vote for Question 1, the referendum ask-ing if the state should issue marriage

licenses to same-sex couples. But the candidates cited different reasons for their support.

Akers said the state should not be responsible for licensing marriages. But if it is, then it should treat all couples equally.

“People should have the right to live the life they want to live,” he said. “But if government wasn’t affiliated with mar-riage, this wouldn’t be an issue.”

For Russell, Question 1 is a question of civil rights.

“I’ll be voting yes,” she said. “... There was a time when black people couldn’t marry white people. This is no different.”

Hall School fire brings a community together

Superintendent’sNotebook

Emmanuel Caulk

The phone call came at 4 a.m., rousing me from a sound sleep. Fifteen minutes later, I arrived at Hall Elementary School to begin assessing the damage from an early morn-ing electrical fire.

While a fire is never a good thing, my first thought was how fortunate we were to have this incident occur when no students or staff were present in the building.

On that day, Sept. 17, I had the first of many meet-ings with facilities staff from the city of Portland and the Portland Public Schools, the Portland Recreation Depart-ment and school administra-tors. We had two overriding goals: to repair Hall School so that it could be used safely and to provide a qual-ity education for students in the interim.

While the building crew removed water and debris, we considered our options: keep Hall students out of school until the building could reopen, hold satellite classes at multiple locations such as elementary schools and com-munity centers, or identify a space appropriate for learning that could accommodate the entire Hall student body.

Clearly, the last choice was our preference. We consid-ered everything from busing students to a closed school in another district to having them attend classes in the Cumberland County Civic Center.

Then, someone mentioned the former Cathedral School. The Catholic Diocese was willing to rent it to us. After touring the facility, Hall teachers started imagining how they could make the smaller space work by teaching in teams.

Hall held classes at Cathedral for nine days. Teachers took advantage of the downtown location to plan field trips to places such as the Monument Square farmers market and the Portland Public Library.

The Hall staff did an incredible job of supporting one another. They rallied around their colleagues who lost all of their teaching materials and prized belongings when their classrooms were destroyed.

Hall parents were caring, flexible and understanding through those difficult weeks. On short notice, members of the Hall Parent Teacher Organization arranged a benefit spaghetti dinner to help raise money for items lost by teach-ers and students in the fire.

The business community stepped forward to help, even without being asked. Executives from Bangor Savings Bank, Hall’s longtime business partner, donated $10,000 to the fire replacement fund. The Maine Mall designated Oct. 14 as Helping Hall Elementary Day and organized a benefit LEGO competition.

Hall students showed their resilience adapting to a new place with more crowded conditions. I visited Cathedral School several times and saw the smiles on students’ faces at recess. They were happy to be in school, with their teach-ers and classmates.

My first job was to ensure that Hall School was safe for students and staff to return. The district hired an indepen-dent environmental consultant to test the air throughout

the building. We were able to reopen Hall on October 9 by sealing off rooms where the cleanup continues. The staff has come up with a plan to make do with less space until that work is completed.

The past month has proved that a very special community exists at Hall School. I saw that the people of Portland can be counted on to help in a crisis. Imagine what we can accomplish if we work together with that same energy to build a great school system.

90 years of making everyone’s life betterMy mother-in-law, Annette Molar, turned 90 on Oct. 2.

The following weekend we joined much of the extended family in her hometown, Columbus, Ohio, to help celebrate this milestone.

Carol’s sister, Marilyn, and her husband, Alan, were the local hosts. They couldn’t have been more gracious, and it was a plea-sure to see everyone. For one reason or another, none of them very good, I had not seen many of them for years; I had never seen most of the children.

Annette was to spend Saturday afternoon at Alan and Marilyn’s while family visited in staggered groups. Carol and Elizabeth’s job was to help her get ready. Bobby and I spent the morning replacing the laptop and glasses he lost when his backpack was stolen on the way to the airport (long, expensive story).

When we got to the house, Annette was already there, very much the center of attention, still very charming, de-spite losing a step or two over the years. Her memory isn’t what it once was. She has a walker, although from the way she was getting around the house without it, it may have been a dodge to get handicapped parking.

The family didn’t seem to be staggering their visits so much as coming early and hanging around. It was a half hour before I had a chance to approach her. She greeted me with bright eyes and a big smile.

“Well, hi! You sure put on weight!”I have, and she remembered.“I mean, you were never ‘thin,’ thin, but – it’s so good

to see you!” she beckoned, and I leaned over to kiss her. Some great-grandchildren ran up to her with some toy, and that was that for a while. Short and sweet, frank, all cards on the table, everything Annette has always been. It made me smile, and it took me right back to the first time we met, which is still one of my most vivid memories.

It was late on a Friday night, early in my relationship with Carol. I made the tactical error of falling hopelessly in love with her despite significant differences in our back-grounds. For example, she had a healthy relationship with her mother. They saw each other, voluntarily. Carol had never broken a phone hanging up on her mom. It was unfathomable.

Carol warned Annette that we would be arriving late, so she instructed us to let ourselves in, and she would see us

in the morning. As we opened the door, though, we were immediately met with a voice from the top of the stairs.

“Carol?”“Mom?”“I’m asleep. I’m not coming down. You’re late.”“I said midnight. It’s only eleven.”“Were you speeding? I’m not coming down. How was

the drive?”“Fine. Go back to bed.”“I am,” she said as she came down. She was 5 feet noth-

ing in fuzzy-slippered feet, zip-up housecoat and whatever those things are that women of a certain age wear to protect that sculpted spun sugar look when they’ve ‘just had their hair done.’

“You must be Mike,” she said.“Please like me,” I said in my head. Out loud, it sounded

something like, “Huhyeah, pleesameyah.”“Well I hope you’re not hungry, because I wasn’t expect-

ing to feed anybody tonight.”“Mom, we’re really tired. We should go straight to bed.”“Well, that’s good because there’s nothing here. I was go-

ing to shop in the morning.” Annette shouldered Carol aside and continued to apologize as she set the table and pro-duced a brisket, kugel, vegetables, a salad (yes, she made a salad), and a layer cake protected by plastic wrap with strategically placed toothpicks keeping it off the frosting.

“This was supposed to be for tomorrow,” she said mean-ingfully. I could eat it and ruin her plans or not eat it and insult her baking. In the house 10 minutes, and already I was behind the eight ball. Finally, she slid into a chair next to me and across from Carol.

“So, Mike,” she said, staring at Carol, “Do you smoke?” At the time, I did not. Carol did.

“No. No, I do not, Mrs. Molar.”“Annette. How do you feel about smoking?” she contin-

ued, boring a hole in her daughter with her eyes.“Mom!”“Well, I suppose – ““Don’t you think it’s stupid?”I may have fainted at this point. I’m not sure. The rest of

the weekend is a pastiche of bright, blurry images separated by long periods of darkness, like passing a series of local subway stops when you’re on an express train.

I can’t guarantee that the above is verbatim, but it’s a pretty good approximation. I remember the incident with great affection, as I experience my entire relationship with this feisty, funny woman who would do anything to support her children, from embarrassing one in front of the BF to

Jorgensen in House District 115

With great enthusiasm, I endorse Democrat Erik Jorgensen to represent House District 115 in the upcoming election.

In his public role as former director of the Maine Humanities Council and privately as a friend for many years, I know him to be acutely

aware of the complex issues facing our com-munity. As we welcome

our new citizens from around the world, Erik’s creative capacities envision how these diverse cultures can enrich us.

Erik has decades of experience with literacy through reading, history and education, interwo-ven with a deep belief in the inherent strength of The Contemporary Family. This clearly makes Erik a unique candidate who would bring a mindful and discerning voice to the important issues facing Augusta.

How grateful I am to Erik for taking on this challenge of service for us. I know he will act for the inclusive benefit for all.

Re-elect Libby to water district board

I strongly urge Portland voters to re-elect Gary Libby in his race against Nisha Swinton for a seat on the Portland Water District Board of trustees.

As a fellow trustee I have had the opportunity to work closely with Gary since my election in 2009. He is unquestionably one of our most valuable and dedicated trustees. His encyclope-dic knowledge of all things PWD and ability to clearly define key issues cannot be replaced. He is not afraid to ask tough questions, and always seeks all sides of any issue.

I have never felt the need to endorse a candi-date before, but Portland voters need to know that by re-electing Gary Libby they will continue to benefit from a true steward of clean water and a thoughtful, responsible advocate for ratepayers’ needs and wallets.

Edgar Allen Beem

A clear choice in Maine Senate District 11The race for the District 11 state Senate seat has

gotten a great deal more publicity than local races usually get, in large part because there is such a con-trast between the two candidates.

Incumbent Sen. Dick Woodbury, U-Yarmouth, is a professorial economist. The only independent in the Senate; a moderate, bipartisan problem-solver who attends both the Republican and Democratic caucuses. Republican challenger Chris Tyll of North Yarmouth is a former Navy SEAL who owns a Pat’s Pizza franchise in Portland. Tyll is running as a vet-eran and a businessman, but it’s what he is not running as that should bother you.

Tyll’s website and lit-erature is all about fam-ily and community, but you’d be hard pressed to figure out from his campaign platitudes that he is an ultra-con-servative who is more apt to do the bidding of the hard-right faction of the Republican Party than he is to represent the common good of all constituents.

Thanks to conservative PAC money, Tyll has way outspent Woodbury, whose publicly financed cam-paign has a spending cap. (Tyll makes a virtue of not taking taxpayer money, but the reason we have public financing is to avoid the out-of-control spending that pollutes elections like this.)

To his credit, Tyll has apologized for the excesses of his supporters, whose mailings so far have misrep-resented Woodbury’s voting record (See Dick Tax. Tax, Dick, Tax), misrepresented Tyll’s military record (he served in Iraq, but not Afghanistan) and misrep-resented Tyll’s political involvements (he had nothing whatsoever to do with any tax savings anywhere.)

What Tyll’s campaign literature does not mention, however, is the one political action he was involved in before running for the Senate. Last year at this time, Tyll was heading up Secure Maine’s Ballot, the Republican vote-suppression group that fought to keep voters from registering on Election Day.

“If there is a potential for fraud, maybe we need to look at changing the system,” Tyll argued. “One case of fraud is too many. It’s a slap in the face to guys who keep our country free.”

This is the kind of statement that reveals who Tyll really is: a good soldier of the far right. No sooner had Republicans taken power in 2010 than they moved to protect it by trying to make it harder for the young, the poor, minorities, and the elderly – all

of whom might have very good reasons not to vote Republican – to vote. They did this with a nation-wide campaign of disinformation, voter I.D. laws, purging voter lists, and legislative actions aimed at eliminating the phantom menace of voter fraud.

Here in Maine, the newly Republican-controlled Legislature passed a law stripping Mainers of the freedom to register to vote on Election Day. Sec-retary of State Charlie Summers was detailed to document the rampant voter fraud threatening our American way of life. Summers wanted badly to do so, but he couldn’t find any rampant fraud because there wasn’t any. It was the GOP that was the fraud, pretending to be concerned about voter fraud when what they were really trying to do was keep college students from voting.

I’m sure Tyll believes that voter fraud is “a slap in the face to guys who keep our country free.” It’s just that it’s not true, just as it’s not true that only “guys” keep this country free. For that matter, it’s not just the military that keeps this country free. It’s also police officers, firefighters, school teachers, factory workers, and government employees – just the kind of folks the Young Guns of the Republican Party are gunning for, trying to strip them of their freedom to organize.

It always amazes me how the people who make the most noise about freedom and individual liberties are often the first to want to deny those rights to others. Ask Tyll where he stands on a woman’s freedom to make her own reproductive choices or on the free-dom of his gay brothers and sisters to marry.

Tyll has also signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge never to raise taxes under any circumstances, which means he owes his allegiance to tax-capper Grover Norquist, not the people of District 11. It is that No New Taxes pledge that has put America in financial jeopardy.

On Nov. 8, 2011, Maine voters overwhelmingly (a margin of 3 to 2) supported a peoples’ veto that over-turned the Republican voter suppression effort and restored our freedom to register to vote on Election Day. Secure Maine’s Ballot was a slap in the face to every freedom-loving man and woman in Maine.

Because Tyll apparently does not understand this, because he does not own up to his role in Republican voter suppression, and because we already have the best bipartisan representative in the state, we will all be better off returning Dick Woodbury to the Maine Senate.

Romney is right for the presidency

I have followed with interest your recent coverage of the election. However, one key fact has been under-emphasized in your reporting. Please remind your readers that our current president has had four years to dig us out of the economic slump, and has not done so. In fact, President Obama’s “spend now, pay later” poli-cies have worsened the recession. Obama has brought us ever-increasing debt and sky-high unemployment.

Mitt Romney has spent his life in business. Romney understands that the road to recovery is to unleash the spirit of American free enterprise. Only by lowering taxes and removing unnecessary regulations can we recover the prosperity and opportunity that should be the birthright of every American.

Mitt Romney is the right choice for our nation.Michael Stevens

Portland

Portland School Board candidate’s statement

I am running for the Portland School Board in District 2 for the West End, Parkside, Libbytown and St. John. I earned a B.A. in political science at the University of Southern Maine in 2010, and have been active in local community and activism throughout the state. I am an educational technician III at a Maine public school, a member of the West End Neighborhood As-sociation, and have lived in the West End since 2008. As a graduate of Maine public schools, I am aware of the challenges facing youth regarding employment and opportunity in the state. My campaign focus is on implementing experiential garden-to-table initiatives at all Portland schools, fixing leaks and limiting chemical hazards in school infrastructure, supporting vocational opportunities, and the arts and music at all grade levels.

She hasn’t always made my life more comfortable, but she has always made it better. She has made a lot of lives better. It was overwhelming to see what she has built as four generations converged from all over the country to tell her they love her. Happy 90th, Annette. Mom.

Margaret Mary Naples, 97: A passion for sports, fashionPORTLAND— Margaret Mary Naples,

97, died Oct. 13 at Seal Rock Healthcare in Saco. She was born in Portland on Dec. 5, 1914, to John J. and Jane M. (Doherty) Locke. She attended Portland schools.

Family was the central focus of her life. She was a loving, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister.

She married the love of her life, Frank Naples, and prior to his death, they shared 55 years together raising their five

children on Munjoy Hill. She was a very fashion conscious lady, and for years, it was common to see Naples walking daily from Munjoy Hill to “downtown” Congress Street to shop for the latest fashions.

Naples was employed by Porteous, Mitchell and Braun for many years prior to her retirement. She participated in and volunteered with a number of church, civic, and school organizations. After her retirement she volunteered for many years at the Mercy Hospital Gift Shop.

Naples was an enthusiastic fan of all sports. She enjoyed the ocean and in her early years her favorite swimming beach-es were East End Beach and Higgins Beach. She was an avid reader and also enjoyed gardening, particularly when she and her husband lived in Falmouth. She

loved and enjoyed many gatherings of family and friends and enjoyed hosting family for her Italian delights when she prepared “Papa Frank’s” special recipes of spaghetti and meatballs or chicken cacciatore.

She was predeceased by her husband, Frank J. Naples; a son, Frank J. (Naples) Napolitano Jr.; and a granddaughter, Linda Napolitano.

Surviving are three daughters, Kather-ine J. McDonald and her husband, Frank, of Scarborough, Mary Jane Ashley and her husband, Jim, of Scarborough, and Joanne M. Yates and her husband, Peter, of Alexandria, Va.; a son, Dickie (Naples) Napolitano and his wife, Susan, of Hig-gins Beach; a daughter-in-law, Barbara Napolitano, of Tucson, Ariz.; 18 grand-children, Michael Napolitano, Mark Na-

politano, Lisa Weems, Erin McDonald, Stephanie Hurley, Mary Ellen Powers, Jacqueline Caron, Michael McDonald, Sean McDonald, James E. Ashley III, Susan Kistner, Gregory Ashley, Chris-topher Ashley, Jennifer Yates, Caroline Zambrowicz, Richard J. Napolitano Jr., Stephen Napolitano and Andrea Napoli-tano-Romer; 29 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

There will be a funeral at 10 a.m. Oct. 17, at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress St. in Port-land. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery in South Portland.

Her family gratefully acknowledges the care provide by the entire staff dur-ing her residency at Seal Rock at Atlantic Heights.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Naples’ honor may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter, 383 U.S. Route 1, Suite 2C, Scarborough, ME 04074.

‘Faith Healer’ showing at The Studio Theater“Faith Healer” by Brian Friel, an Irish playwright, focuses on itinerant faith healer Frank Hardy, his wife, and his manager as they travel to remote towns throughout the British Isles where Frank attempts to cure the sick and suffering.

‘Good People’ opens season at Good TheaterBy Scott Andrews

Drama, music and dance are all represented in this week’s picks of the tix in southern Maine.

Under the rubric of drama there’s the New England premiere of David Lindsay-Abaire’s “Good People,” the season-opening show at Portland’s Good Theater. And “Good People” is way more than good; it’s great.

Two top-notch musical events are slated for this weekend. Laura Kargul, one of Maine’s favorite clas-sical pianists, plays a recital of Romantic sonatas in Gorham on Friday. The Midcoast Symphony Orchestra opens its 2012-2013 season with a pair of concerts in Lewiston on Saturday and Topsham on Sunday.

And looking ahead to the end of the month, Portland Ballet will offer two performances of its annual “Hal-loween Spooktacular” in Westbrook on Oct. 27.

‘Good People’Engineers tell us that the triangle is the most stable

geometric form, employing terms such as “invariant un-der stress.” But writers and dramatists have long known that the romantic triangle is one of life’s most unstable forms, prone to messy collapse under stress.

The tensions caused by an unusual romantic triangle in extremely stressful economic and social circum-stances is the driving dynamic behind David Lindsay-Abaire’s latest drama, “Good People.” Portland’s Good Theater, the city’s top-notch professional company, has mounted a fine production of this excellent script as the opening show in its 11th season.

The two contrasting settings reflect the social and economic tension: the gritty neighborhood of South Boston and posh suburban Chestnut Hill. The principal character is a single mom who has lived in Southie all her life, while her former high school lover has become a very successful doctor who now lives in a big house in the wealthy suburb. After a hiatus of nearly two de-cades, the two confront each other. Plus there’s a major complication: the doctor’s strained relationship with his elegant black wife, who hails from an equally posh background in Washington, D.C.

Emotional fireworks explode, ignited by fine per-formances by the three principals: Denise Poirier and James Noel Hoban, who both hail from southern Maine, and Noelle LuSane, a New York actress. Plus there’s excellent support from three others: Jesse Leighton, Suzanne Rankin and Amy Roche. Director Brian P.

Craig robinsonDenise Poirier, James Hoban and Noelle Lusane form a very unconventional romantic triangle in David Lindsay-Abaire’s

“Good People,” which opens the 2012-2013 season at Portland’s Good Theater.

Allen, Good Theater’s co-founder and artistic director, helms this production admirably.

Good Theater presents “Good People” at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress St. (top of Munjoy Hill) in Portland through Nov. 4. For ticket info and full performing schedule, call 8835-5883 or visit goodthe-ater.com.

Laura KargulOne of my personal red letter dates on Maine’s per-

forming arts calendar is the almost-annual recital given by Laura Kargul, longtime professor of piano studies at the University of Southern Maine School of Music.

Kargul is a virtuoso performer with wide experience in this country and Europe. Her 2012 recital will be part of the school’s Spotlight Series, scheduled for Oct. 19 in Gorham.

Kargul’s specialty is the Romantic Era, and for this Friday’s concert she’s picked two of the biggest and best-known masterpieces from that rich tradition: Franz Schubert’s Sonata in B-Flat Major and Frederic Cho-pin’s Sonata in B Minor.

“I have chosen these particular works because they

so fully embody the mature styles of Schubert and Chopin, two composers with whom I feel an extremely strong connection,” Kargul explained. “These are their last sonatas, and they were written within only 16 years of each other. But Schubert and Chopin are so vastly different in character, culture and their use of musical language that these works seem worlds apart. What they do share is a profound metaphysical quality, manifested in meditative, highly expressive passages, contrasting with dramatic outbursts of great exuberance and fire.

“It’s always interesting to hear how post-Beethoven composers handled the sonata, that most classical of forms. Beethoven’s impossibly high standard cast a shadow far into the 19th century. Some composers were intimidated, but not Schubert and Chopin. They embraced their innate Romantic sensibilities and made the sonata truly new and fascinating, poetic, exciting and stunningly beautiful. Hearing these two monumental works back to back can be enlightening, inspiring, and, most of all, moving.”

Catch this concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 19 at Corthell Hall, on the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham campus. Call the music box office at 780-5555.

Midcoast Symphony OrchestraThe Midcoast Symphony Orchestra opens its 21st

season this weekend with two performances of a pro-gram intriguingly titled “Arabian Nights and Parisian Afternoons.”

Music director Rohan Smith will be on the podium and guest artist George Lopez will be the piano solo-ist on the showcase number, which is Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2.

Lopez and Smith are frequent collaborators; the former is the artist in residence at Bowdoin College. Beethoven wrote the concerto for his own performance. Its trills and arpeggios remind us that he was a virtuoso performer as well as the greatest composer of his time.

Two pieces from the 19th century’s Romantic-Na-tionalistic tradition follow. Russian composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade” is adapted from the “Tales of 1001 Arabian Nights,” and tells the story of a young princess who mesmerizes a sultan with her sto-rytelling abilities. It also illustrates Rimsky-Korsakov’s amazing abilities at orchestration. French composer Claude Debussy’s “Afternoon of a Faun” is character-ized by lush melodic sensuality.

Two performances are scheduled: Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Franco-American Heritage Center at St. Mary’s (corner of Chestnut and Oxford) in Lewiston, and Oct. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at the Orion Performing Arts Center at Mt. Ararat Middle School in Topsham. Call the MSO at 846-5378.

Portland BalletTerpsichorean witchcraft and some “cadaverous

costumes” are on the bill of fare when Portland Ballet presents its annual Halloween Spooktacular Oct. 27.

Six original dances are slated, all with Halloween or “creepy” themes. Five were created by Nell Shipman, associate artistic director of Portland Ballet, while one was choreographed by Andrea Tracy. All promise a hu-morous, offbeat and family-friendly view of Halloween traditions.

Selections include “Masquerade,” with music by Dmitri Shostakovich, and “In the Witches’ Classroom,” based on a composition by Modest Mussorgsky. Per-formers comprise students and faculty at Portland Bal-let. Student dancers include some of the company top pre-professionals, members of the CORPS program.

Children are emphatically invited, and a scary cos-tume parade is scheduled at intermission.

Portland Ballet presents “Halloween Spooktacular” at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center (at the new middle school), 471 Stroudwater St. in Westbrook. Call PortTix at 842-0800 or Portland Ballet at 772-9671.

against.When the Stags needed to run

the ball, they did, to the tune of 313 of their total 399 yards. When they needed to mix it up and go to the air, that worked as well. Then, of course, there was the defense, which held the potent Golden Trojans to just 196 yards.

Cheverus made an immediate statement by driving 67 yards in seven plays on its first possession and going ahead when big-game standout extraordinaire Donald Goodrich bulled in from 2-yards out.

The Stags had a chance to open things up in the second period, but quarterback Liam Fitzpatrick was intercepted in the end zone by Thornton Academy standout Andrew Libby and with 4:33 to

go before halftime, a 4-yard Libby TD run pulled the Golden Trojans even.

No one does halftime adjust-ments like legendary coach John Wolfgram, however, and Cheverus was a new, more confident and even more unstoppable force in the second half.

The Stags marched 77 yards in nine plays to begin the third quarter and went on top for good when Goodrich scored from the 4 with 7:27 remaining. After forc-ing a punt, Cheverus got a bit of a cushion on a 15-yard Goodrich scamper with 2:35 to play in the third.

“We made a couple adjust-ments,” Wolfgram said. “They worked right away on that first

Cross country’s regionals are this weekend. Field hockey’s playoffs are underway and soccer and volleyball will do the same starting this weekend.

Here’s a glimpse:Golf

The golf individual finals were held Saturday at Natanis Golf Course in Vassalboro.

The top city finisher was Waynflete’s Tom Spagnola, who was fourth in Class C with a round of 77. Deer Isle’s Sam Grindle took the title with a 68, the low-est score in any class.

In Class A, won by Gorham’s Mike

Caron (75), Cheverus’ Chris Billings tied Cony’s Thomas Foster and Mes-salonskee’s Justin Rollins for seventh with an 81. Cheverus’ Andrew Cloutier shot an 84 and finished 16th. Deering’s Will Barlock tied Brewer’s Dylan Bir-mingham, Erskin’s Shawn Soucie and Messalonskee’s Billy Rollins for 33rd with a round of 96. Portland’s Travis Godbout (98) placed 38th.

The girls’ title was won by Bangor’s Alice Hwang. No local girls took part.

Cross countryWaynflete’s cross country team got

a jump start on the postseason Friday when it took part in the Western Maine Conference championship meet at St. Joseph’s College in Standish, squaring off against several of the best teams not just in the Western Maine Conference, but in the entire state.

The Flyers girls were seventh overall and second to Yarmouth in Division II (Falmouth took top honors overall). As expected, Waynflete was led individu-ally by Martha Veroneau, who was 17th on the 5-kilometer course with a time of 22 minutes, 9 seconds. Other scorers in-

cluded Ella Millard (27th, 22:31), Gail Johnson (39th, 23:12), Helen Gray-Bauer (49th, 23:43) and Cat Johnson (50th, 23:43).

The boys came in 11th (fifth in Di-vision II). Falmouth took first place overall, while Fryeburg was tops in Division II. The Flyers were led in-dividually by Dylan Kingsbury, who was 30th (18:51). Abukar Adan came in 44th (19:29), Colin Laurence placed 64th (20:21), Cam Thompson was 65th (20:24) and Julian Ireland placed 69th (20:35).

The other city teams culminated their regular season in a five-team meet (South Portland also took part) at Deering.

In the boys’ race, the host Rams were first, Cheverus placed second and Port-land finished fourth. Individually, Bull-dogs standout Ben Allen led the pack with a time of 16:53. Yahye Hussein of Deering was second (17:35). The Stags’ top finisher was Zeb Tarasevich (fourth, 17:46).

The girls’ meet was won by Cheverus, with

It was a triumphant and historic weekend for city football teams.

In case you hadn’t heard, the two-time defending Class A state champion Cheverus Stags had a pretty big test Saturday afternoon when they went to unbeaten Thornton Academy in the most highly anticipated regular season contest in recent memory. Not only were the Stags looking to stay undefeated on the season and lock up the top seed for the upcoming playoffs, but oh by the way, they entered the game one win shy of equalling South Portland’s record for all-time consecutive Class A wins (31).

When the dust settled, the “Game of the Century” proved to be just another day at the of-fice for the finest football team in the state.

Make that the finest team in the history of high school football in the state, one which is now a team for the ages.

Cheverus displayed every rea-son why it is the program that all others now measure themselves

Portland placing third, McAuley fourth and Deering fifth. Stags standout Shannon Con-ley took top individual honors (18:57, a full minute ahead of runner-up Nyajock Pan, of South Portland). The Rams were paced by Eleanor McClure-Chute (seventh, 21:30). The Bulldogs’ fastest finisher was Abby Popenoe (eighth, 21:50). The Lions’ first finisher was Adele Werner (12th, 22:22).

press time.The Waynflete Flyers enjoyed their fin-

est regular season since 1979 with an 8-4-2 record, good for the No. 3 seed in Western Class C. The Flyers hosted No. 6 Dirigo (5-8-1) in the quarterfinals. The teams don’t meet in the regular season and had no play-off history.

In Western A, Cheverus had another stel-lar campaign, losing only to Scarborough in 14 outings and earned the No. 2 spot behind the Red Storm. The Stags hosted No. 7 Gorham (9-6) in the quarterfinals Tuesday. On Sept. 27, Cheverus won at the Rams, 2-1. The teams had met twice previously in the postseason, a 5-0 win for Gorham in the 2007 quarterfinals and a 1-0 Stags’ victory in the 2009 semifinals.

“The coaching staff is so proud of the girls on a great regular season, but we have put that behind us now,” said Cheverus coach Amy McMullin. “We found out the hard way last year (an upset loss to Westbrook in penalty corners in the quar-terfinals) that it doesn’t matter what you did before playoffs, all that matters is that you get in. After that, it’s win or go home. We have practiced hard the last week and are pleased with the girls’ effort. Hopefully we can make a deep run and continue playing great field hockey.”

If the Stags passed their first playoff test, they would either host third-ranked Marshwood (12-2), the defending regional champion, or No. 6 Sanford (10-4-1) in

the semifinals Saturday. In the regular sea-son, Cheverus won, 2-0, at the Hawks on Sept. 17 and closed with a 4-1 win at the Spartans, Oct. 5. The Stags beat Sanford in the 2008 (2-0) and 2009 (3-0) quarterfinal round. Cheverus has no playoff history against Marshwood.

Deering, which won a total of two games in 2010 and 2011, showed great improve-ment this fall and wound up 6-8 and 10th in Western A, earning the Rams a trip to Gorham for the preliminary round Saturday. Deering had closed the regular season at Gorham and lost, 3-0, The playoff contest (the first ever between the schools) proved to be deja vu as Gorham got one goal in the first half and added a pair in the second to win, 3-0, and end Deering’s season at 6-9.

Portland (3-10-1 and 15th in Western A) and McAuley (0-14 and 17th in Western A) failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Looking ahead, after Saturday’s semifinal round, played on the field of the higher seed, the regional finals are Tuesday at Scarborough. The state games will be played Saturday, Oct. 27, at the University of Maine in Orono.

Boys’ soccerAfter a double overtime home loss to

Kennebunk Oct. 4, Portland’s boys’ soccer team was 2-7-1 and appeared out of the playoff picture. Less than two weeks later, however, the Bulldogs are on the brink of extending their postseason streak to 13 years. Portland extended its win streak to three last week with victories at Bonny Eagle (7-0) and at home against South Portland (3-2). Against the Scots, standout Tim Rovnak had three goals and Stephen Barry, Ibrahim Dahir, Sam Farr and Dana Kuniholm also had tallies. In the pivotal win over the Red Riots, Rovnak and Haron Habibzai scored, but it was Josh Irving who had the biggest goal, the winner with two minutes to go (assisted by Evan Caliendo). The Bulldogs took the No. 12 seed in the Western Class A Heal Points standings into Tuesday’s regular season finale versus No. 13 Thornton Academy. Only 12 teams make the playoffs in the region, but it was unlikely the Golden Trojans could leapfrog Portland with a win. The Bulldogs were in position, however, to move up a spot or two with a victory.

“I’m guardedly optimistic at all times,” said longtime Portland coach Rocky Fren-zilli. “I’m just happy for the boys and all they had to overcome. They are playing very well at this point.”

Deering moved all the way up to fourth in Western A with a 7-3-3 record following a 1-1 home draw against Marshwood and a 1-0 victory at Cheverus last week. In the tie, Ben Peterson had the goal. Stephen Ochan had the only tally against the Stags. The Rams closed at Sanford Tuesday. If they wind up in the top four, they’ll have a

bye in the preliminary round and will host a quarterfinal.

Cheverus was 11th with a 7-5-1 record at the start of the week after downing visit-ing Massabesic, 2-1, and falling at home to Deering, 1-0, last week. In the win, Jamie Biegel and MacKenzie Hoglund had the goals. The Stags closed at No. 2 Gorham Tuesday and with a win had an opportunity to move up.

In Western C, defending champion Waynflete was fourth in the Heals with a 10-2-1 record after losing at home to Western A power Greely (4-1) and blank-ing visiting Lake Region (5-0) last week. Against the Rangers, playing without

standout Peabo Knoth, the Flyers got a goal from Elyse Bayizere, but it wasn’t enough.

“I thought we were competitive for 60 minutes, then I don’t know what happened,” Waynflete coach Brandon Salway said. “(The loss is) good for us. Showed us what we need to work on. We had some chances. We were right there. Defensively we have some work to do. We had people back, but it was poor communication. We talked about it at halftime and it didn’t really get better. We’re not making the big plays we need to make at this time of year. That’s going to have to change or it will be a short postseason.”

Against the Lakers, Jack Cutler and Mo-hammed Suja both scored twice and Clancy Mitchell had one goal. Knoth assisted on four of the goals. Returning from injury, goaltender Zander Majercik stopped two shots for his fifth shutout.

The Flyers closed at another surging Western A power, Cape Elizabeth, Monday night (please see theforecaster.net for game story). Waynflete will be anywhere from third to fifth when the playoffs start.

“We need to improve,” Salway said. “It looks like we’re 3 or 4. At this point, I’m not sure it matters. I’m more concerned

with how we’re playing. We’ve proved we can play anywhere, but we have to improve defensively.”

The boys’ soccer postseason begins Saturday. The quarterfinals are Wednesday of next week. The semifinals are Oct. 26-27 and the regional finals Oct. 31. All of those rounds will be contested on the field of the higher seeds. The state champion-ship games are Nov. 3. The Class A Finals will be contested at Hampden Academy. The Class B and C state games are at Scarborough High.

Girls’ soccerCheverus hosted Deering in a pivotal

girls’ soccer showdown Friday and 80 min-utes weren’t enough to decide a winner.

The Stags were coming off an impres-sive 5-1 win at Massabesic, while the Rams were riding high after a 6-3 vic-tory at Marshwood, as Alexis Elowtich had four goals and Edie Pallozzi and Chelsea Saucier both had one.

Friday, Cheverus grabbed a quick 1-0 lead on a goal from standout Abby Maker. Deering drew even at halftime thanks to a goal from Pallozzi. When Hayley Morin scored with just over 25 minutes left in regulation, the Stags were up, 2-1, and appeared in good shape, but Elowitch tied the score with 12:43 left. Then, just 43 seconds into OT, Samantha Sivovlos’ shot wasn’t cleanly handled by the Stags’ goalie and Elowitch was waiting to kick home the rebound to give Deering its first win over Cheverus since 2005, 3-2.

“I thought it was the worst kick of my life, but (Alexis) was there to put it in, so I was thankful,” said Sivovlos.

“I was just staring at (the ball) in the air because (with the wind) it was so hard to tell where it was going,” said Elowitch. “I was just looking at the goalie and saw the ball come down. When it came down, I just reacted. It was a great ball. It’s probably the biggest goal I’ve scored.”

“(The girls) never quit,” added Rams coach Kevin Olson, who, like his players,

had never beaten Cheverus. “They always play to the end. They believe. They have confidence. As much as I’d like to go up early, it shows they don’t give up.”

Deering improved to 9-4 and seventh in the Western A Heals with the victory. The Rams closed the regular season at home versus Sanford Tuesday. A victory would allow Deering to leapfrog the Spartans into the sixth spot.

“At the end of the season, that’s when you want to start rising,” said Elowitch. “You don’t want to hit your peak early because there is playoffs. We want to keep improving and keep playing our game.”

The Stags were left stunned by the over-time loss.

“It’s a tough one,” said Cheverus coach Dan LaVallee. “I thought after the first 10 minutes of the first half we played really well and we could have put it away then. We started well in the second half, then fell asleep the last 15 minutes. It carried over into overtime. I hate to say it, but I think they wanted it more than we did and it showed.”

The Stags fell to 9-4 and ninth in the region and closed at home against Gorham Tuesday.

“If we beat Gorham, we probably end up sixth,” LaVallee said. “If we don’t, we

might be as low as eighth. I can’t see a scenario where we don’t host a prelim. I think we’ll travel after that. When we step on the field and play hard, there’s nobody we can’t play with.”

McAuley finished 3-10-1 and 15th in the region, but only 13 teams make the playoffs. The Lions closed with a 3-1 loss at Biddeford and a 4-3 overtime home win over Westbrook. Against the Tigers, Maddy Wade had the goal, while Molly Miller made 13 saves. In the victory, Wade, Becca McNamara and Olivia Smith scored in regulation, Delaney Regan had the winner and Miller made 16 saves in her final game.

Portland fell to 2-9-2 and 17th after a 1-0 loss at South Portland Friday. The Bulldogs closed at home against undefeated No. 2 Thornton Academy Tuesday and if they sprung a major upset, might be able to sneak into playoff position.

In Western C, Waynflete took an 8-1-4 mark and the No. 4 spot in the standings into Monday’s regular season finale against visiting Western A power Cape Elizabeth (please see theforecaster.net for game story). Last week, The Flyers lost at Greely (3-0) and beat visiting Old Orchard Beach (2-1). Goalie Juliana Harwood made nine saves against the Rangers. In the victory, Arianna Giguere and Isabel Agnew had the goals. Waynflete will host a quarterfinal round playoff game and will be a difficult out.

The girls’ soccer postseason begins Fri-day. The quarterfinals are Tuesday of next week. The semifinals are Oct. 26-27 and the regional finals Oct. 31. All of those rounds will be contested on the field of the higher seeds. The state championship games are Nov. 3. Class A will be contested at Hamp-den Academy. The Class C state games are at Scarborough High.

VolleyballCheverus’ first-year varsity volleyball

team had its moments this fall, but ultimate-ly fell shy of the playoffs with a 4-10 record after splitting four matches to end the season. After downing host Cony (3-2) and visiting Windham (3-0), the Stags dropped a 3-0 decision at Cape Elizabeth in what was essentially a play-in match Friday, then closed with a loss at defending Class A champion Greely Monday. Cheverus was 11th in the Class A Heals, but only the top nine teams reached the postseason.

drive of the half. That changed the pace of the game.”

As expected, Thornton Academy battled back and when Libby scored on a 6-yard run with 9:33 to go, the Cheverus lead was cut to 21-14.

After the Stags ran over four minutes off the clock, but missed a field goal, un-heralded junior Sam Cross, starting in lieu of injured senior Brent Green, intercepted a pass and returned it 30-yards to paydirt in what was essentially the coup de grace.

“It was exciting,” Cross said. “It was just a reaction, really. I just jumped the route. I didn’t think about it. It just happened. It ended up in my hands. For my first varsity start ever, it was great. The starters talked to me, helped me out in practice. They definitely pulled me through.”

Cheverus’ defense held two final times, then the Stags ran out the clock and cel-ebrated their No. 1 seed-clinching, brag-ging rights-rich 28-14 victory, which made them 7-0 on the year, dropped the Golden Trojans to 6-1 and matched the consecutive wins record.

“It was great,” Cheverus quarterback Liam Fitzpatrick said. “We’ve been in big games, but there’s never been a game like this before in the regular season. It was ex-citing. A lot of fun to play in. (Thornton’s) a good team and they were going to battle un-til the end like we did and we came out on top this time. It’s a statement win. Without a doubt, we’ll see them again. We’re look-ing forward to the next time we see them.”

“It wasn’t just another game, because we were out there playing for Brent Green and Michael Flaherty,” Goodrich said. “Two seniors who work hard for us. That’s what this game was for. We wanted to win it for them. I was pointing to Brent and Michael

after every play. We were determined in the second half. We came out and played Cheverus football.”

“It’s more special than just another win,” said Wolfgram. “No question. Mainly because Thornton Academy’s an excellent football team. It gives us a chance to have a high seed in the playoffs. It was a fun week. It was a great day for high school football. We prepare the same way every week, but I think we had a little extra focus this week because it was a game for a very high seed.”

Goodrich stole the show with 166 yards (and three TDs) on 25 carries.

“We’re just going to give him the ball until they stop him,” Fitzpatrick said. “He’s a strong kid. He’s fast. He’s good at eluding tackles.”

“Donny’s very, very good,” Wolfgram said. “I can’t compare him to other people. We like to have him on our side. He’s a competitor. He’s quick, he runs hard. He’s a good player. He’s got the heart of a lion.”

Fullback Cody O’Brien, who filled in for Green on offense, was stellar as well, gaining 110 yards on 19 carries.

“We have a very diverse offense and I’m not the only one who can run,” Goodrich said. “Cody stepped up. We have depth.”

Following the game, Wolfgram again reiterated that the win streak is merely a number and that his and the team’s focus is on the present and immediate future.

“The streak doesn’t mean anything to me,” Wolfgram said. “We’d like to get a top seed in the playoffs. That’s the way our kids are thinking and that’s the way I’m thinking. The other stuff is extrinsic stuff.”

While Wolfgram doesn’t want to dwell on the magnitude of coaching a team to 31 straight victories (for a mindboggling sec-ond time, since he happened to be the Red Riots’ coach in the 1990s), the rest of the local high school football world sure does. The Wolfgram legend was well established

before he even set foot at Cheverus, but the job he’s done with the Stags will be the standard by which all other coaches are measured.

He’s certainly made an impact on his players.

“We play every game for coach,” Go-odrich said. “He puts in a ton of effort every week and we want to reward him for that effort. He’s dedicated to us. He puts in the same kind of effort we do. He studies film, gets the game plan together and prepares us.”

For all the hype this showdown gener-ated, it was just the penultimate game of the regular season. Cheverus (first in the Western Class A Crabtree Points standings) is back in action Saturday when it hosts 3-4 Deering, a team riding a three-game win streak. Last year, the Stags struggled at the Rams in the regular season, winning just, 14-0, but in the Western A semifinals, they drubbed Deering from start to finish, 45-0.

“(This win is) a good thing for the pro-gram, but we’re looking forward to Deering next week,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’ll be riding home on the bus watching Deering on my iPhone.”

“We’ll get ready for Deering now,” Go-odrich said. “That’s who’s next.”

Bulldogs and Rams prevailFriday evening, Portland and Deering

made resounding statements.The Bulldogs and Scarborough went

back-and-forth for four quarters, with Port-land’s grind-it-out, chew-the-clock drives countered by quick strikes from the Dillon Russo-led Red Storm aerial attack.

Scarborough grabbed a 7-0 lead in the first period on a 44-yard scamper by junior Dan LeClair. Portland roared back behind TD runs from sophomore quarterback Ryan Ruhlin and junior workhorse Jus-tin Zukowski, but Russo hit senior Greg Viola from 37 yards out for a 14-13 lead

at halftime.The Bulldogs went back on top, 19-14,

when senior Nick Volger (9 carries, 105 yards an a touchdown) broke free for a 62-yard TD run in the third period, but with 6:23 left in the game, Russo and Viola hooked up again, this time from 17 yards out, and the Red Storm appeared en route to victory.

Instead, Portland embarked on a final scoring drive. An unexpected 40-yard pass play from Ruhlin to senior Joe Nielsen got the Bulldogs close and with 1:28 left, Ruh-lin sneaked in from the 1.

“The line was great tonight,” said Ruhlin. “We found holes and went through them. The sneak worked well tonight. I was a little nervous with the game on the line. I think the tip of the ball was on the goal line. Fraction of an inch. That’s all that matters. It was a great feeling.”

“I thought I got in (the play before), but give it to the quarterback,” said Zukowski.

“Why risk the handoff?” Portland coach Jim Hartman added. “We knew what they would do. It was mano-a-mano. We felt we could do that. He said he scored by the length of the football. Our boys wanted it.”

A pair of sacks denied Russo and Scar-borough’s last gasp and the Bulldogs held on to win, 25-20, leaving both teams 5-2 with just one regular season game remain-ing.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Ruhlin. “We were motivated. We knew we were playing a great team. To go on top at the end was a great feeling. We have a lot of confidence. We came into the huddle and said, ‘It’s time to go to work boys,’ and we did.”

“It feels pretty good,” said Zukowski, who had 167 yards and a TD on 29 carries. “We’re bringing tradition back to Portland High. That’s what all the coaches preach and that’s what we’re trying to do. We just

Portland names new boys’ lacrosse coach

Portland High School has named Mike DiFusco as its new boys’ lacrosse coach. DiFusco replaces Eric Begonia, who stepped down at the end of last season. DiFusco was a standout player at Cape Elizabeth High School, a two-time All-American, a member of the 2006 NJCAA national championship team at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, N.Y., and previously served as a Bulldogs as-sistant.

“Mike has been a coach in our system for several years and he has worked hard to prepare himself for the challenges that

he will face as a varsity coach,” said Port-land athletic director Mike Connolly. “He will be a strong influence on the program, given his knowledge and enthusiasm for the game.”

focused on this game. Scarborough played well, but we wanted it.”

“It’s an enormous win for Portland High,” Hartman added. “This helps us believe in ourselves. I was pleased with how we kept (Scarborough) off balance. It’s the first week I’ve felt really comfort-able calling the game with this group. We have to get our kids used to playing this style of football. If we can do that next week, it’s a pretty good first year.”

The final statistics favored the hosts, who had a 421-225 advantage in total yardage, 348 of which came on the ground.

Portland (fourth, but breathing down Scarborough’s neck in the Crabtrees) finishes the regular season at 1-6 South Portland next Saturday in the “Battle of the Bridge.” The Bulldogs hope to snap a two-year losing streak to the Red Riots and jump up to the third spot.

“Battle of the Bridge, baby,” Zukowski said. “We have to stay focused and work on penalties and turnovers. This is only good for a week.”

“We’ll enjoy this and get ready for South Portland next week,” Ruhlin said. “We’ve matured as a group and have come together. We’ll come ready to play like we did tonight. We’ll prepare the same.”

“We are just focused on playing one game at a time,” Hartman added. “Hope-fully the kids build on this. It’s my job to make sure there isn’t a letdown.”

Deering put its game against visiting South Portland away by the end of the first period as a 32-yard Kenny Sweet run (55 seconds in), a 26-yard Dominic Lau-ture scamper, a 4-yard Sweet run and a 54-yard Lauture score made it 27-0 after 12 minutes. Sweet scored from 7-yards out to make it 34-0. After the Red Riots got on the board with a TD run, Sweet returned the ensuing kickoff 90-yards for a score. Another Lauture touchdown run (4-yards) extended the lead to 48-6 at halftime. A 14-yard Sweet TD run and a safety were sandwiched around a third quarter touchdown by South Portland, accounting for the 57-12 Deering win, its third in a row after an 0-4 start.

The Rams (now sixth in the Western A Crabtrees) closes at Cheverus Saturday and needs a win to ensure a postseason berth.

Housingfrom page 1


“We need to build all types of housing, for all types of people,” said High Street resident Steven Sharp. He also disputed the claim that increasing housing units for low-income residents would drive up rents for others.

Gwen Tuttle, a social worker from Cumberland Avenue, urged the council to “be mindful of the project’s goals” and to remember that the lack of af-fordable housing isn’t the sole cause of homelessness.

“I suggest that the council redirect some of this energy to the other issues that impact homelessness,” such as men-tal illness and substance abuse, she said.

Tuttle is a Republican running for election to the Maine House of Repre-sentatives in District 119, which covers Bayside, East Bayside and Parkside.

Earlier in the evening, the council participated in a workshop to learn more about recommendations of the city’s Homeless Prevention Task Force.

The recommendations, made public two weeks ago, call for creating a cen-tralized process for assessing homeless people; building three, 35-unit housing

facilities; and expanding case manage-ment services to better match the needs of clients.

The council is scheduled to discuss the plan at its Nov. 5 meeting.

In other business, the council unani-mously passed a resolution supporting the passage of Question 1, the Nov. 6 statewide referendum asking if Maine should issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Councilor Nicholas Mavodones intro-duced the resolution, which also urges Portland residents to vote yes on the measure.

“The city of Portland embraces equal-ity and fair treatment for all residents including the freedom to marry for lov-ing, committed couples. ... Rights and responsibilities are currently denied to the gay and lesbian citizens in the state of Maine,” the resolution said.

It also noted that in 1992, the council passed the first ordinance in Maine grant-ing protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

the law.“It’s the people’s business,” she said

Saturday during a round table discussion with reporters and editors at the Maine Press Association’s fall conference at the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport. “If you cannot get that information, then we are not meeting our common goal.”

Three characteristics outline the new role for Kielty: independence, impartiality and a credible review process.

“Without those three things ... it can really undo the effectiveness of the posi-tion,” she said.

Optimisim, challengesMal Leary, editor of Capitol News

Service, said he has fought for the om-budsman position since the first study on freedom of access in Maine was commis-sioned in 2002. He is optimistic about the position’s future impact.

“The real thrust of the position is to have somebody in government who can run interference for the average citizen,” Leary said, noting that now the law is used most regularly by journalists and lawyers. “There’s no one there to really just help the average Joe find something.”

Leary, president of the Maine Freedom of Information Coalition and a member of the state’s Right to Know Advisory Com-mittee, said the office should also help resolve disputes and hopes it will help find alternatives to expensive litigation.

One of the challenges Leary sees for Kielty is her shift from public information officer to a public access ombudsman.

“She has to change from being an AG staff who responds to records, to an ombudsman who advocates for records,” Leary said. “It’s a tough thing for her to do because she may have to work against her colleagues, who may not want some-thing released. I’m waiting to see how she handles that situation,”

Kielty said she doesn’t see the difficulty, and her previous work experience as a me-diator and as a public information officer make her well-equipped to resolve public access disputes.

“The benefit to me is that as a public in-formation officer I’ve had the opportunity to see (Freedom of Access Act) questions from the point of view of an agency, and from the press and the public,” she said.

Although Kielty was appointed by the attorney general and continues to work in that office, she said the ombudsman’s of-fice will be completely independent.

“I’m like another animal that’s not like anybody else. I’m going to work extreme-ly hard to maintain impartiality and not be jeopardized,” she said. “Maybe some other PIO might not be able to make the shift, but I don’t think it’s going to be different at all. It’s been perfect training.”

Hopes, responsibilitiesThe position was originally created by

the Legislature in 2007, but was unfunded until earlier this year when two bills, one

from the Legislature and one from the governor, appropriated funding.

Sen. Richard Rosen, R-Bucksport, was a major advocate and supported the legisla-tion to create the position.

Rosen said he sees the position play-ing an important role in mediating public access disputes and hopes the new om-budsman will save taxpayers money by reducing litigation costs.

“It’s certainly my hope and expectation that the position will be useful and will be helpful for both government and anyone that’s submitting a request for informa-tion,” Rosen said. “It will make the statute work better and will help resolve things to end up with a more satisfactory solution.”

According to the statute, the job has several responsibilities, including mediat-ing disputes over public access between citizens and government; educating the public about public access laws and pro-cedures; response to informal inquires by the public and public agencies; issuing advisory opinions about interpretation of public access laws, and recommending how to improve access to public records and proceedings.

The ombudsman will also field com-plaints and questions from any state or municipal agency, including police de-partments.

Judy Meyer, managing editor/days at the Sun Journal newspaper in Lewiston, said filling the ombudsman position is an exciting development. She said she hopes it will “streamline” the public records request process and give citizens better access to their government.

“What’s happening now is that we are getting calls from citizens asking us to

intervene,” said Meyer, vice president of the Maine Freedom of Information Coali-tion and a member of the Right to Know Advisory Committee. “The people who figure out to call us is one group, and then there’s the other ones who will just be dis-enfranchised. Now they’ll have Brenda.”

One of the difficulties Kielty will face in her new position, Meyer said, is not only keeping up with the evolution of the law, which has changed significantly in the last decade, but also knowing the more than 300 exemptions.

“(The Freedom of Access Act) is not a static thing she can learn and be done learning,” Meyer said. “She seems dedi-cated to learning this really quickly. I’m looking forward to seeing her work with Maine people.”

In addition to fielding access questions from agencies and the public, the Legis-lature also intends for the ombudsman to collect data on public access, such as the number of requests and complaints filed, and which groups filed them.

This information must be in available in an annual report submitted by the ombuds-man to the Legislature no later than March 15, according to the statute.

As a one-woman show, still building the foundations of the new office, Kielty will no doubt be busy. But she said she prefers it that way.

“It really is about being available,” Kielty said. “I do expect my phone will be ringing.”Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow Will on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

ment officials and representatives from law enforcement agencies.

During the discussion, several people recounted how they were pulled over while driving and told their vehicles had broken tail lights, only to later discover that both taillights were completely op-erational.

Newell Lewey said he felt his special Native American license plate made him a target.

“I’ve become ‘random.’ I’m about 80 percent random. That’s what they tell me,

that it’s just random,” he said.A Latino man recalled instances of

being detained for hours, notably when his passengers were African migrants. An African-American woman explained how a female officer told her she had an attitude problem because she asserted her right to not be searched.

In every testimony, the speakers said, they were released without charge. And all of them believed they were arbitrarily targeted because of their race, despite laws that require officers to have prob-able cause for a traffic stop.

Beyond the letter of the law, there is the issue of discretion. A presentation at

the forum about public policing educated participants about the spectrum of discre-tion. According to McDevitt, discretion is particularly relevant when making traffic stops because it is combined with low visibility.

“We all make mistakes,” said Doug Bracey, of the Maine Chiefs of Police As-sociation. “The key is not to make them more than once.”

It is unknown how often bias-based profiling occurs in Maine. The Advisory Committee report filed with the Legisla-

ture in February 2012 said it was unable to collect the data because of a lack of funding. The report further noted there are 16 different vendors for data collec-tion for over 100 agencies.

A fund for the committee was allocated $500 for each year. The report said any effort to synthesis and analyze the data from multiple agencies was considered “too expensive,” although it did not cite an exact figure or an estimate.

The committee had to apply for a grant from the Broad Reach Family & Community Services in order to fulfill

one of its mandated tasks of public edu-cation. The grant funded the forum.

According to the Advisory Committe’s report, a few police departments volun-teered to participate in a demo of how data might be collected. Again, lack of funding was cited as a barrier to starting the project.

Jack McDevitt, director of the Insti-tute on Race and Justice at Northeastern University, however, said data collection isn’t everything. He said there is value in conversation between stakeholders.

Various groups coming together to work on the issue of profiling “is un-precedented in Maine,” said committee co-Chairwoman Rachel Talbot Ross, who also urged participants to make official complaints when necessary.

Alysia Melnick of ACLU Maine of-fered advocacy to anyone who may be hesitant to file a complaint directly with a police department.

Talbot Ross also spoke about important strides in addressing bias-based profiling in Maine. First was establishing a defini-tion of bias-based profiling that was ex-ceptionally inclusive when compared to federal or other state definitions:

“Bias-based profiling occurs when stops, detentions, searches, or asset sei-zures and forfeiture efforts are based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orienta-tion, religion, economic status, age or cultural group rather than solely on an individual’s conduct and behavior or specific suspect information.”

Secondly, the committee was success-ful in drafting a model policy. In 2011, the Maine Criminal Justice Academy ad-opted the policy. All police departments in Maine are required to adopt a policy banning profiling by the end of the year.

The Advisory Committee sunsets in November, and is expected to file a final report for the Legislature. Training for officers at the MCJA will begin in 2013.Marena Blanchard is The Forecaster news assistant. she

“It’s not about the running,” Principal Dawn Carrigan said. “It’s about partici-pating and doing your best.”

At the end of the 10 weeks, each of the Longfellow students will participate in Cape Elizabeth’s 5k Turkey Trot on Nov. 18. But their coaches are not focused on how fast the girls go; they are hoping the students feel empowered by the process.

“The curriculum is far less about run-ning,” Jen Rhode, Maine Girls on the Run council director, said. “At the end of the program the girls can walk, run, hop, skip or twirl through their 5k. If they don’t become runners in life, that’s OK, but it’s giving them an experience to teach them they have the power to take control of themselves.”

The Cumberland-based program began at Longfellow this fall after a successful pilot run in the spring, Carrigan said.

When the school decided it wanted to do the program again this fall, expecting to field only one team, 37 girls signed up and they ended up with three teams.

The girls at Longfellow are the state’s only teams, but Girls on the Run Maine is hoping to expand over the next several years.

Rhode said that the international chap-ter only allowed the state to start with three teams while they build the infra-structure for more teams, but there is a

lot of interest coming from communities across Maine.

“I get phone calls and e-mails daily asking when can we start a site at our school and what’s the process? Interest is coming from all 16 counties,” she said.

Their five-year strategic plan has them starting the growth process in Cumberland County and later moving into north. But if an enthusiastic com-munity comes forward, they will work to bring a branch of the program to that community.

“Even though we have a strategic plan, if we find there is a community that is completely fired up and has strong sup-port either at a school or a site and they can make a strong case to us, we’re go-ing to evaluate everything at this point,” Rhode said. “We’re going to make sure that those communities that are eager and super motivated are accommodated.”

She said that while there are other running programs in several Maine com-munities, Girls on the Run is different because the program emphasizes partici-pation and self-development instead of training runners.

“Running is a vehicle of building self-esteem,” she said. “If you make girls physically strong by completing a 5k, they become emotionally strong and bet-ter prepared to handle the challenges of middle school.”

A fundraising event for Girls on the Run Maine, the Hot Choco Trot 5k, will be held Oct. 21 at 9 a.m. in Deering Oaks Park.

According to Rhode, the 5k run is less about racing and more about having fun. Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best finish line dance and the finish festival features live music and family friendly activities.

Registration for the run is $20 in advance and $25 the day of. All of the money raised by the event will go toward scholarships and program costs.

Rhode also said the program is look-ing for volunteer coaches to work with the spring Girls on the Run session and anyone interested should visit www.girl-sontherunmaine.org and click on the “Get Involved” tab.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.
