By Emily GuerinHARPSWELL — The owner of

a Cundy’s Harbor farmhouse that burned down on Friday has been charged with arson.

Morgan Pulsifer, 51, was arrested Monday in his New York City apartment after Maine State Fire

Marshall officials tracked him there. Wearing a yellow jumpsuit, the color assigned to accused felons, he appeared before a judge on Wednes-day at Cumberland County District Court in Portland and had his bail set at $25,000 cash.

His lawyer said he had a long

history of mental illness and was on medication for manic depression. Pulsifer did not enter a plea at the time.

Longfellow Avenue residents air concerns about re-zoningBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — As Bowdoin College prepares to take ownership of the Longfellow School, some neighbors have expressed concern that the quiet Longfellow Avenue neighbor-hood might soon become a bustling part of the campus.

Although students cross the street daily on their way to the swimming pool or fields, and spectators of sporting events often park their cars along the side of the road, the neighbor-hood has retained its residential feel.

Now residents are trying to ensure that atmo-sphere does not change if Bowdoin acquires the elementary school, which is set to close in June.

“The (Longfellow) School is a good neighbor and we want to be sure that what is replaced will also be a good neighbor,” said Al Fuchs, who lives on Longfellow Ave.

Fuchs, along with other members of the Col-lege Neighbors Association, met informally last week with members of the Brunswick planning department, town council and town manager to discuss proposed changes to the zoning of the Longfellow School property.

At the April 6 Town Council meeting, the town and the college officially proposed swap-ping the Longfellow School for the McLellan office building on the corner of Noble and Union streets, a deal that had been the subject of rumors for years.

Two options for the swap have been sug-gested; in the first, the college would buy the school from Brunswick for $2 million, and the town would inherit McLellan at no charge. The second option is a straight swap with no money exchanged.

In either case, Bowdoin would need the parcel to be rezoned. Currently, the school is zoned as

State education department reviews special ed complaint against SAD 75By Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — The Maine Department of Education is investigating whether systemic violations of special education regulations exist in School Ad-ministrative District 75.

DOE spokesman David Con-nerty-Marin said last week that his department often receives complaints referring to the way

school districts handle specific students. But he said the DOE only received two systemic com-plaints last year.

Systemic complaints, accord-ing to DOE policy, allege that “a public agency has a policy, practice, or procedure” that has violated part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or the Maine Unified Special

Education Regulations, and that “is, or has the potential to be, applicable to a group of stu-dents, named or unnamed.”

Anyone can file a systemic complaint, even if the complain-ant does not have a student in the school district, Connerty-Marin said.

The complaint was filed with the DOE on April 27. Jonathan

Braff, a complaint investiga-tor with the department, met with the complainant and SAD 75 Special Services Director Patrick Moore on May 18 to determine the nature of the complaints.

“All that is doing is listing the allegations,” Connerty-Marin said. “They could be entirely without merit, they could be en-

tirely with merit, or somewhere in between.”

Braff declined on May 20 to say who filed the complaint, or whether it was filed by one or more people.

Moore noted in an emailed statement Tuesday that the complaint claimed “that (SAD

Navy hotel faces uncertain futureBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — The Midcoast Re-gional Redevelopment Authority has postponed its search for an operator of the 248-room Navy Gateway Inn & Suites, despite seeking proposals and of-fering a tour of the facility to interested parties.

During an April 19 tour of the hotel, which closed April 30, Executive Direc-tor of MRRA Steve Levesque said he was hoping to have an operator selected by mid-May and open the hotel by June.

But on Tuesday, he said he wasn’t sure if the hotel would open for the June 4 International Fly-In, or the Great State of Maine Airshow at the end of August.

“We’re still evaluating what we’re do-ing regarding the hotel,” he said. “We may decide to wait until next year (to open it).”

That decision came as a surprise to Don Hebert, who submitted a proposal to operate the hotel.

Hebert said after sending in his pro-posal, he didn’t hear anything back from David Markovchick, MRRA’s economic development manager.

“David finally called me back and said he appreciated the work I had done but they decided not to open the facility,” he said.

Hebert said his own interest in the hotel and conference center had waned since the announcement of two large hotel and convention centers in Portland last month. The $100 million Thompson’s Point development would house the Red Claws and include a concert hall, of-fice buildings and a 125-room hotel. In the same week, the owner of Shipyard Brewery announced he was seeking developers for a convention center, hotel and culinary school at his Newbury Street property.

But Levesque said those announce-ments did not influence the decision to put the hotel operator search on hold, nor had concerns raised by some local hotel owners that the Brunswick lodging market was over-saturated.

He was, however, concerned that the hotel might deteriorate while it is closed – a problem facing all the buildings on the base that have not found new tenants.

“Any of the buildings we have on base, the longer they sit the more ex-pensive it is to get (them) up and run-ning again,” he said. “Welcome to my world.”

Frustrated neighbors take train complaints to rail authority boardBy Emily Guerin

BRUNSWICK — Anna Nelson thought she knew what she was getting into when she bought a home on Boucha-rd Drive, right next to the train tracks.

“I had seen the trains and heard the trains and it wasn’t anything I couldn’t live with,” she said.

What she wasn’t expecting was a nearly 40,000 square-foot train mainte-nance facility that would operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day, year round. When she found out about the proposed facility, which would be built by the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority to service the Downeaster trains, her first thought was, “should we call the Realtor?”

Her second thought, along with about 30 of her neighbors, was to organize. Nelson and other residents of Bouchard Drive and Hennessey Avenue have banded together, hired a lawyer, and are appealing the April 21 Brunswick Zon-ing Board of Appeals decision that gave NNEPRA a variance to local zoning, ef-fectively granting them the go-ahead to

build the facility.But it is unclear whether their appeal

matters.According to the town’s lawyer, Pat

Scully, the train project never needed the variance in the first place.

At the request of Anna Breinich, direc-tor of planning and development, Scully researched the railroad industry laws and concluded that the town has no say in the project because it is overseen by the Surface Transportation Board, a federal agency. The town may ask NNEPRA to participate in a voluntary review process, but may not use local zoning or other or-dinances to restrict the project’s progress.

However Scully’s conclusion isn’t de-terring abutters from appealing the zon-ing board’s decision to the Cumberland County Superior Court on the grounds that the board did not follow the law.

They claim that when NNEPRA ap-plied for an exception to the zoning district that would allow them to build

a 40,000 square-foot building, it did not satisfy all four necessary criteria to re-ceive a variance, and did not adequately inform all the abutting property owners.

They also cite a 2009 environmental assessment of the Downeaster expansion that mentioned that secondary facilities, such as train maintenance buildings, are subject to local review.

At the heart of their argument is this question: If Brunswick has no jurisdic-tion over the facilities project, then why would NNEPRA apply for an exception to a Brunswick zoning district?

“I didn’t realize we didn’t need to do

it,” said Patricia Quinn, executive direc-tor of NNEPRA. “We hadn’t done our homework ahead of time.”

Town Manager Gary Brown had a similar answer.

“Neither NNEPRA nor the town both-ered to determine or check ahead of time to see whether or not our ordinances are applicable,” he said.

But some neighbors, like Nicole Vinal, don’t buy it.

“Isn’t this what they do for a living? How could they not know?” she asked.

She said she was feeling frustrated by

BRUNSWICK — Bowdoin College will graduate 443 seniors at its 206th commencement on Saturday.

Seniors Joelinda Coichy and Ed-ward Stevens Gottfried are this year’s commencement speakers. The college will award honorary degrees to former

SAD 75 voters grant first passage to FY 12 budgetBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — In less than an hour, and with little public comment, School Administrative District 75 voters ap-proved next year’s $34.2 million budget on May 19.

The audience approved separate budget warrant articles by a show of hands in the Town Meeting-style gathering, held at the Orion Performing Arts Center. The fiscal 2012 budget faces a final vote at the June 14 budget validation referendum.

If approved again, next year’s spend-ing plan will decrease more than $572,000, or 1.65 percent, from the current year. Total local contribution across the district will be flat at $18.7 million, but each town would see an increase or decrease, triggered by valu-ation changes.

Topsham’s contribution will climb 3.15 percent to $7.8 million, while Harp-swell’s will decrease nearly 5 percent to $6.5 million, Bowdoin’s will rise 2.18

percent to $2.1 million, and Bowdoin-ham’s will increase 2.36 percent to $2.3 million.

SAD 75 is experiencing a revenue shortfall of nearly $594,000.

Positions eliminated in the budget in-clude two eighth-grade Mt. Ararat Middle School teachers, a science teacher and two alternative education staff at Mt. Ararat High School, 1.8 elementary li-brarians, and an interventionist.

The June 14 referendum will be held

from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Topsham Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall, Bow-doin Central School and Bowdoinham Town Hall, and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Merriconeag Grange Hall on the Harpswell mainland, the Cundy’s Harbor Community Building on Great Island, and the Old Orr’s Island School House.

Greater Bath school budget heads to votersBy Alex Lear

BATH — The public will soon have the opportunity to weigh in on the $25.6 million Regional School Unit 1 budget.

The fiscal 2012 spending plan goes to the first of two public votes at a district budget meeting next week.

The meeting will be held Tuesday, May 31, at Bath Middle School at 6 p.m. A budget validation referendum on Tues-day, June 7, will conclude the process of cementing next year’s budget.

If approved by voters from the five RSU 1 communities, next year’s budget will include a 2.5 percent tax hike over the current year – a more than $413,000 increase, to nearly $17 million. The bud-get itself will increase nearly 3 percent, or about $730,000.

Superintendent William Shuttleworth has attributed the need for higher taxes to a $1.1 million decline in state and federal revenues.

Mid-Coast communities plan Memorial Day eventsBy Alex Lear

BATH — Mid-Coast communities are paying homage to the soldiers who gave their lives for this country in a variety of Memorial Day activities on Monday, May 30.

Members of American Legion Post 21 in Bath will assemble at their 200 Congress Ave. headquarters from 6-7

a.m. and then proceed to Oak Grove Cemetery.

Auxiliary Unit 21 will perform a ser-vice at 8:15 a.m., followed by one by the Sons of the American Legion at 8:30 a.m. and by Post 21 at 8:45 a.m. Another service is planned at Waterfront Park at 9:30 a.m.

A Memorial Day parade will assemble

in the Legion parking lot at 10 a.m. and begin at 10:30 a.m. It will proceed along Lincoln, Centre and Front streets, and conclude at Library Park. A wreath-laying service will occur at the park, and refreshments will be available to the public at the post home after noon.

In Topsham, a Memorial Day ceremo-ny by American Legion Post 202 will be held in front of the municipal building, 100 Main St. at 8 a.m. A parade will start outside Mt. Ararat High School at 8:30 a.m., and will proceed down Main Street, over the Green Bridge, where a gun salute will occur. The parade then will lead into Brunswick and conclude

with ceremonies at the town mall.In Harpswell, American Legion Post

171 will throw a wreath off the Ewing Narrows Bridge at 10:30 a.m. in memory of those who have served. The Memorial Day program begins at 11 a.m., and an ensuing parade begins at Lookout Point Road and concludes at the north end of Allen Point Road.

Refreshments will be served at the Grange Hall at 529 Harpswell Neck Road (Route 123) after the ceremony. The Ladies of the Kellogg Church will sell cookies before and after the event.

Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @learics.

Positions to be cut include a Bath Middle School home economics teacher, four Morse High School teachers; an educational technician job and a Woolwich fourth-grade teaching job (both vacated by retiring employees); a technology integration specialist (a job that may be absorbed elsewhere); a computer technology teacher at the Bath Regional Career and Technical Center; two district-wide elementary foreign language teachers, and two educational technicians.

With a 2.5 percent tax hike, Bath’s contribution will increase 4.36 percent to $8.1 million; Arrowsic’s will climb 4.83 percent to nearly $426,000; West Bath’s, 3.55 percent to $2.6 million, and Woolwich’s, 2.86 percent to $3.1 million.

Phippsburg’s tax burden would de-crease 4.24 percent to $2.7 million.

New principal brings small-school affinity to HarpswellBy Emily Guerin

HARPSWELL — The Harpswell Is-lands School is getting a new name, the Harpswell Community School, and a new principal, Kerry Bailey.

Bailey, 59, is anything but new to school administration. This will be her third job as a princi-pal, and her family is filled with other school administrators and teachers.

“I am surrounded by educators,” she said, laughing.

Bailey’s husband, Steve Bailey, is be-coming superintendent of schools in

Damariscotta, and used to be assistant superintendent in South Portland. Her sister was a principal in Wiscasset, and her father was a teacher.

Bailey started out as a teacher, and made the jump to school administration when she was 32. After teaching elemen-tary and middle school in Portland and Yarmouth, she became the principal of Yarmouth Intermediate School in 1984. She stayed for four years before transi-tioning into staff development, which she says is her strength.

“My most comfort now is working with adults who are working with chil-dren,” she said. “I really like coaching in the classroom and helping teachers with differentiation in their instruction,

helping them relate to kids if they’re struggling.”

Bailey became a principal again in 2003 at West Bath Elementary School, and stayed for two years before leaving to become a contract employee for the Department of Education. She’s currently working at Lisbon High School as a lit-eracy coordinator.

While she loves her current job, Bailey said the insecurity of the position was getting to her. “It’s hard to find consult-ing jobs,” she said, and when she does, her position is often one of the first to be eliminated during budget cuts.

She said she is looking forward to tak-ing the helm at the Harpswell Community School, which she said is similar in size and age group to her previous school in West Bath. She said she especially enjoys working at small community schools.

“I think they’re very special,” she said, partially because they are becoming a rarity.

Bailey said she was sensitive to the fact that Harpswell just lost one of its elementary schools.

“There’s a grieving process that hap-pens when you lose a school,” she said. “It will be a challenge to preserve

some traditions and to have (the West Harpswell School children and parents) feel totally welcome and involved.”

But she also believes there are unique opportunities created by school closures. She said she has worked with school communities in this situation in the past and in her experience, parents and teach-ers “discover some real strengths in one another and tend to be surprised.”

Although she had heard that some town residents are interested in withdrawing from School Administrative District 75, she said she hasn’t formed an opinion about that possibility. But she encouraged Harpswell parents to tell their students they are going to have a good year in school.

“Children need to hear that,” she said. “They need to carry that message to their kids so it gets carried to school.”

Bailey said she is looking forward to jumping back into community schools, but she is also excited to work closer to where she lives. Since leaving West Bath, she has been working in Lisbon and com-muting around the state.

She and her husband are “excited about digging in and having our roots here where we work,” she said. “We love it up here, we love the people.”

Open-records bill pushed into next legislative sessionBy Emily Parkhurst

AUGUSTA — A bill that would pro-vide greater public access to government records has been delayed until the next legislative session.

The Legislature’s Judiciary Committee, which is reviewing the bill, will continue its deliberations in the fall.

The Right to Know Advisory Com-mittee, made up of representatives of the government and the press, is also review-ing the bill. That committee only meets when the Legislature is not in session, so will likely make its recommendation to the Judiciary Committee this summer.

The bill, LD 1465, has bipartisan sup-port in the Statehouse but is opposed by a coalition of government officials and agencies.

The legislation was drafted by the Maine Heritage Policy Center and Maine Civil Liberties Union and is sponsored by Sen. Richard Rosen, R-Bucksport.

It seeks to amend Maine’s Freedom of

Access Act, which governs the way gov-ernment agencies provide public access to documents.

While press and open-government groups have praised the proposed changes – which include requiring an agency to have a trained public access officer, cre-ating a timeline for making documents available, and requiring that the records be made available in any of the digital formats in which they exist – government representatives have called the require-ments “burdensome.”

“We think clear deadlines will only help the public’s access to public information,” MCLU Executive Director Shenna Bel-lows said. “We support this bill as advanc-ing the right to access public documents.”

The Cape Elizabeth School Board, on the other hand, has sent a letter asking the committee to kill the bill.

“This piece of legislation would create burdensome operating conditions, inhibit government functionality and ultimately

cause greater harm than good,” the let-ter said.

Representatives from the town and school departments in Falmouth, and the Maine Municipal Association, also op-pose the bill.

“Any reforms to expand the public’s right-to-know require government to be more responsive and accountable,” said Maine Heritage Policy Center Communi-cations Director Chris Cinquemani, who drafted the bill with the MCLU executive director. “The fact that so many officials at all levels of government are opposed to this greater transparency shows just how

critical it is that we create a more open government for Maine people.”

The bill is co-sponsored by 30 senators and representatives on both sides of the aisle, including Sen. Justin Alfond, D-Portland, Rep. John Hinck, D-Portland, Rep. Heather Sirocki, R-Scarborough, Rep. Meredith Strang Burgess, R-Cumberland and Rep. Kimberly Olsen, R-Phippsburg.Emily Parkhurst can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or

A leaky peace in the Middle EastI’m of two minds about WikiLeaks, the online dissemina-

tor of confidential government documents. On one hand, it performs a valuable service. It’s fascinating to see how the world of diplomacy really operates, and it’s im-portant for citizens to know what their governments are really saying and doing be-hind the scenes.

On the other hand, if communications between diplomats and leaders are regularly exposed to the light, it certainly could have a chilling effect on the abil-ity to speak frankly and openly.

Given the rapidly chang-ing situation in the Middle East, I can only imagine what leaders in the region are saying, confidentially, to each other these days. I wonder if, in the coming weeks,WikiLeaks will unearth a fasci-nating exchange like this entirely hypothetical letter from

Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It could have been written after Netanyahu’s meeting last week with President Barack Obama, who had just expressed his support for a Palestinian state defined principally by the pre-1967 borders between Israel, the West Bank and Gaza:

“Dear Bibi:“It’s been ages since we spoke, so I thought I’d re-estab-

lish contact, at least in writing. I’ve been reading about your trip to Washington. Washington is a beautiful city, especially when seen from the back seat of a limousine. I love pulling up in front of the White House, don’t you?

“Anyway, I wanted to touch base regarding our ‘situa-tion.’ I know you’re upset that Obama said that the pre-1967 borders should serve as the basis for a Palestinian state. Listen, I don’t blame you for being ticked. Who wants to be known as the prime minister who lost the West Bank to the Palestinians?

“Still, this couldn’t have come as a surprise. We’ve both known for years that the West Bank, or at least most of it, would become Palestine. And I know that the thousands of settlers (OK, residents) of Ariel, for example, aren’t going anywhere. We’ve always assumed that land swaps would even out the deal.

“So what are you so angry about? Obama just said out loud what we’ve each known for years. And, if you want to know the truth, your problems are nothing compared to mine.

“First of all, I’ve got to deal with these whack-job Hamas guys. I don’t know what’s worse: their talk about an Islamic state, their love for bin Laden, or the fact that if you disagree openly with them, you wake up dead the next morning.

“I mean, these guys really make me nervous. That’s why I can’t just go ahead and make peace with you based on the West Bank alone. They keep feeding my people this idea that we have to have everything, the West Bank and Gaza, especially since we’ll never get the rest of the land of Israel back.

“So I have to slather on all this ‘brothers in arms’ talk or else I’m a short-timer, if you know what I mean.

“And it’s not like I got such a great deal from Obama, either. He says that a Palestinian state will have to be de-militarized. Great. I get land, but no army. And then he says I have to drop Hamas. Hello? How am I supposed to deal with Hamas if I’ve got no army?

“We did this dance once before in Gaza and they beat the stuffing out of us. Now I have to welcome them to Ramal-lah and make peace with them (so I stay alive) but at the same time drop them like a hot potato (so I get my state.) Thanks a lot, Barack.

“So let’s cut to the chase. I know the ‘right of return’ is DOA. The Palestinians who either drank the Kool-Aid and left or who were driven out by your guys in 1948 are pretty much toast. I’m not happy about it, but I’m a real-ist. Toss me a few billion shekels for compensation and we’re good.

“As for Jerusalem, seriously, I’m willing to defer resolu-tion of that one. If we can agree on this West Bank land swap thing, five years from now, if all goes well, I’ll have a state, a seat at the U.N., zillions in aid from the E.U. and the U.S., a Nobel Prize and my grandkids will be in school in Switzerland or the U.S.

“I’ll still have to deal with Hamas, of course, but if I can keep them in the closet, or at least out of the cabinet while you and I wrap up this up, eventually they’ll end up being irrelevant to most Palestinians.

“Bottom line, Obama has us in a box. He knows that many Americans are sick of your intransigence. He also knows that I’ve got to deliver something soon or I’ll be a notch on Hamas’ belt. This guy is no sucker.

“I know, I know. You think you can wait me out. But I’ve got the Arab Spring and I can play my Naqba human tragedy card whenever I need it.

“So let’s put this to bed before you lose America or I lose control of the West Bank.

“I have to go to Europe now to charm the donor com-munity again, but call me, will you?

“Oh, and make sure no one else sees this. I can’t be seen as weak or unprincipled. You know how it is.”

Who elected the MHPC?Although I disagree with virtually everything the

Maine Heritage Policy Center says, does and is, I would have no problem with it pursuing its conserva-tive political agenda were it not for the fact that it pre-tends to be a nonpartisan think tank and, thereby, gets away with not disclosing who provides its funding.

People have been trying to figure out who is behind MHPC for years, ever since it started launching refer-endum efforts to pass a Taxpayers Bill of Rights. But so far no one has cracked the secretive organization.

“Why do folks on the left want to know so badly?” former MHPC Chief Executive Tarren Bragdon was quoted as saying in a September 2010 Lewiston Sun Journal article by Steve Mistler. “To what end?”

Well, Mr. Bragdon, let me tell you why folks who care about democ-racy and transparency in government might want to know where you get your money.

First, there’s just that little matter of hypocrisy (the calling card of all things far right) when an organi-zation publishes the salaries of all state employees but refuses to release the names of its donors.

Then, there’s the obvious malarkey about MHPC being nonpartisan and an educational organization. MHPC is a far-right conservative advocacy group and everyone, including you, knows it. Public citizen Carl Lindemann waged a one-man campaign to force the center to reveal its funding back when it championed TABOR, but the totally useless Maine Ethics Com-mission (now there are a few wasted salaries for you) swallowed the idea that MHPC was just educating the public about TABOR, not advocating for it.

Educational organizations, by the way, Mr. Bragdon, don’t usually sue organizations with which they dis-agree, as the MHPC did the Maine Municipal Associa-tion, arguing that MMA used taxes dollars to oppose TABOR. Whose dollars did you use to promote it?

Now, of course, the reason that full financial dis-closure has become so crucial is that, under Gov. Paul LePage, MHPC has become Maine’s shadow govern-ment. Maine citizens have a right to know who is in the shadow, who is dictating public policy. Let in the skunk and the stink comes with it.

Former MHPC education director Stephen Bowen is now Maine’s education commissioner and is busy pressing MHPC’s conservative charter-school agenda.

MHPC chief economist J. Scott Moody has been appointed to the recently gutted Consensus Economic Forecasting Commission, where he will no doubt shake ‘n’ bake the numbers to suit the Republican agenda. Forget consensus, the economic forecast from now on cannot be trusted.

Until he was tapped to set up a bigger and better free market advocacy group in Florida, Bragdon headed LePage’s transition team and served as one of his chief policy advisers.

MHPC has also largely taken over the public policy functions of the State Planning Office, which is where LePage parked unseated Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Darryl Brown after Brown was disqualified. Brown has made it clear that the LeP-age administration does not want the State Planning Office in the policy business.

When you look at the Republican policy agenda, what you often see now are not state issues, but na-tional initiatives that seem to serve the interests of big business, not local business: health insurance reform that puts all the power in the hands of out-of-state in-surers, the repeal of Maine’s informed growth law, the failed attempt to prevent Maine from banning toxins in children’s toys, and what we must hope will be the failed attempts to push through union-busting right-to-work laws, split the Department of Health and Human Services in two and get rid of the Land Use Regulation Commission.

In fact, just about everything on Paul LePage’s regulatory reform agenda seems to have come out of nowhere.

Where might these issues be coming from? My guess is right field – the Maine Heritage Policy Center and its fellow traveler Americans for Prosperity, another free-market advocacy group headed here in Maine by none other than Trevor Bragdon, Tarren’s brother. Who funds Americans for Prosperity? The Koch Brothers, the oil-baron moneybags behind the tea party.

Who funds Maine Heritage Policy Center? Wouldn’t you like to know? I know I sure as heck would.

Brunswick PD yes, more sprawl no

As a resident of the Pleasant Street neighborhood near the Stanwood intersection, I’m happy to have the Bruns-wick Police Department as new neighbors. I’m not happy, however, to read that Town Council Chairwoman Joanne King has said that Brunswick Development Corp. can do whatever it pleases with the proposed site if a police station is not built. I sincerely hope that this is inaccurately re-ported. Otherwise, it suggests that this site is open for any kind of development, ignoring both current zoning restric-

tions and the acknowledged function of this intersection as a vital community gateway.

Although the Town Council narrowly approved a 2008 proposal for a 24-hour drive-through Walgreen’s at this site, I do not believe that large commercial development meets the expectation of a welcoming gateway to Brunswick. It would simply expand the sprawling commercial corridor of Upper Pleas-ant Street and threaten the character of a historic residential neighborhood. In the event that BDC develops this land without the police station, the decision-making process for zoning exemptions must be transparent, with opportunities for public input, and in accordance with the intentions of the Comprehensive Plan.

Maine should warn cell phone users

My husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 34. Two weeks ago we testified at our state capital to get warning labels on cell phones in Maine. I have researched this for a little over a year now and I am disgusted with what has been hidden from the public. It is a shame the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee voted against the labels, especially after two top-notch scientists warned them there was an increased risk of developing a brain tumor with long-term cell phone use. Other studies have shown sperm and genetic damage as well as cognitive prob-lems. Most independent long-term studies show cell phone use causes brain tumors. What more does our government need? The “shoving it under the rug” can go on for so long. The cell phone victims are piling up and our voices are getting louder. It is time for our government to step up so innocent people don’t die from this horrible disease.

Did you know your cell phone manual contains lan-guage advising you to keep your cell phone away from your head and body? We are simply asking lawmakers to inform their constituents by placing the advisories that are already hidden in cell phone manuals in a more accessible place, such as the cell phone itself, so the public knows the recommendations made by the cell phone manufacturers on proper cell phone use.

Several teens ran off into the woods when they saw police approach-ing. Inside police found one girl passed out on a couch who had vomited on the ground. She was sent to the hospital. Officers rounded up and summonsed 18 teens, all of whom had been drinking. They also issued a summons to the homeowner on a charge of furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol.

Regular season winds down in Mid-CoastWhile it’s felt like anything

but summer around here, May is soon to give way to June, meaning the 2011 spring sports season is nearing its conclu-sion.

The track postseason be-gins Saturday and tennis’ play-offs commence next week. Baseball, softball and lacrosse teams only have a couple more chances to either get into the playoff picture or jockey for optimal positioning.

It ought to be a fun week.Here’s a glimpse at where lo-

cal teams stand:Baseball

Brunswick’s baseball team is playoff-bound and might even earn a home game, while Mt. Ararat and Morse appear as if they’ll fall short.

The Dragons were 7-5 and fifth in the Eastern Class A Heal Points standings as of Tuesday after winning, 3-2, at Edward Little and falling, 8-5, at home to Cony Saturday. Brunswick was at Morse Wednesday and Oxford Hills Thursday, hosts Mt. Ararat Friday and closes the regular season Tuesday of next week at Messalonskee.

The Eagles were 3-10 and 11th (only eight teams qualify) after home losses to Lewiston (6-0) and Morse (6-1) last week and a 6-2 home setback to Ed-ward Little Monday. After going to Cony Tuesday and Oxford Hills Wednesday, Mt. Ararat closes at Brunswick Friday.

The Shipbuilders took a 2-9 mark and the No. 15 seed into Tuesday’s home tilt with Er-skine. Saturday, Morse won, 6-1, at Mt. Ararat. Monday, the Shipbuilders fell at Lewiston, 11-1. After hosting Brunswick Wednesday and Edward Little Thursday, Morse visits Cony Friday and closes at home against Hampden Academy Tuesday of next week.

SoftballMt. Ararat appears to be

the lone postseason-bound lo-cal softball team. The Eagles have won four in a row and are 8-5 (seventh in the region) after recent wins over visiting Lewiston (8-2), Morse (12-0, in six innings) and Edward Little (8-5). After going to Cony Tuesday and Oxford Hills Wednesday, Mt. Ararat wraps up the regular season at Bruns-wick Friday.

The Dragons dropped recent decisions to host Edward Little (8-7) and visiting Cony (20-3) to fall to 2-10 (12th in the re-gion). Brunswick was at Morse

Wednesday and Oxford Hills Thursday. The Dragons host Mt. Ararat Friday and close at Mes-salonskee next Tuesday.

Morse was 1-10 and 14th after a 12-0 (six inning) setback at Mt. Ararat and a 13-11 loss at Lewiston. The Shipbuild-ers were home against Erskine Tuesday, Brunswick Wednesday and Edward Little Thursday. They went to Cony Friday and finish at home Tuesday of next week versus Hampden Acad-emy.

Boys’ lacrosseBrunswick and Mt. Ararat’s

boys’ lacrosse teams are looking to hold off Cheverus for the final Eastern Class A playoff spot, while Morse is in the thick of the Eastern B hunt.

The Dragons were a 14-4 winner at Oxford Hills, then lost, 6-1, at Lewiston last week, and are 5-5 on the season (fifth in the Eastern A Heals, where six teams qualify). After host-ing Messalonskee Wednesday, Brunswick finishes the regular season Saturday at home against Mt. Ararat.

The Eagles were winners over visiting Cony (17-5) and host Mt. Blue (17-4) last week to improve to 6-4 (sixth in Eastern A). Against the Rams, Casey Becker had five goals and Nick Parsons three. Becker had three goals and six assists, while Josh Richards added three goals against the Cougars. Mt. Ararat hosted Lewiston

Wednesday and finishes at Brunswick Saturday.

The Shipbuilders lost, 11-9, at Gardiner last Wednesday, then evened their mark at 5-5 with a 13-6 home win over Oak Hill Saturday. Morse (fifth in Eastern B, where six teams make the playoffs) was at Camden Hills Wednesday and finishes at Ma-ranacook Saturday.

Girls’ lacrosseOn the girls’ side, Brunswick

is in first in Eastern A at 7-2 after Friday’s pivotal 11-6 win at Cony. The Dragons hosted Edward Little Tuesday, welcome Messalonskee Friday and close at home against Mt. Ararat Tues-day of next week.

The Eagles, the defending Eastern A champions, were 6-3 and fourth in the Eastern A Heals after recent wins over host Oxford Hills (10-7) and visit-ing Lincoln (14-2). Mt. Ararat was at Messalonskee Tuesday, welcomes Lewiston Friday and finishes at Brunswick next Tuesday.

In Eastern B, Morse appears locked into the third position at 8-2. The Shipbuilders out-

slugged host Mountain Val-ley, 21-14, last Tuesday, then downed host Edward Little, 17-10, Monday. They were home with Cony Tuesday and close Friday at Gardiner.

TrackThe Kennebec Valley Ath-

letic Conference championship outdoor track meet is Saturday. The Class A championship meet will be held Saturday, June 4 in Windham.

TennisThe tennis season is just

about complete, but Tuesday, the Maine Principals’ Asso-ciation announced that it was adjusting the playoff schedule due to backups caused by the recent spate of bad weather. As a result, the preliminary round is Wednesday, the quarterfinals will be held next Friday and the semifinals June 6. The regional finals will be June 8 and states June 11, as originally sched-uled.

The singles tournament was also affected. The Round of 48 is now scheduled for Monday at Bates College in Lewiston. The Round of 16 is the follow-ing day and the semifinals and championships will be contested Saturday, June 4.

Brunswick and Mt. Ararat’s boys’ teams are playoff-bound. The Dragons were 7-2 and fourth in the Eastern A Heals at press time, while the Eagles were 8-3 and fifth. In Western B, was 5-5 and clung to the eighth and final playoff spot at press time.

On the girls’ side, Brunswick appears bound for the top seed with a 10-0 mark. Mt. Ararat (4-6 and eighth) will likely fall short of the playoffs this year. Morse was 4-6 and seventh in Western B and should make the postseason.

Gardening & LandscapingCreating an edible landscapeBy Stacey Collins

If you are interested in growing some of your own food, don’t feel confined to a backyard plot of agricultural-looking regimented rows. More and more often, food-producing plants are being integrated into beautifully ornamental residential landscapes.

At our home in Cumberland, the back-yard hosts a blend of edible plantings, including a traditional fenced vegetable garden, a half-dozen small fruit trees and attractively-mulched beds of strawberries and raspberries. In front of the house we have a conventional-looking residential landscape of shrubs, trees, and perennials. Most passers-by would never guess that some of those pretty plants also feed our family!

“Edible landscaping” – as this growing trend is termed – can range from a radical elimination of lawn grass in favor of edible plantings, to a more restrained substitution of some attractive edibles alongside tradi-tional ornamental plantings. Consider plant-ing herbs and pretty vegetable plants in a flower bed, or edging with cottage-y alpine strawberries. On the lawn, plant a pink-flowered peach tree instead of something purely decorative. Add some blueberries to your foundation shrub plantings, and they will reward you all season long.

Make sure to research the plants’ require-ments, or hire a professional to help you plan. Most – but not all – food plants re-quire full sun, and all will benefit from soil enriched with plenty of compost. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

Herbs are easyFresh herbs can perk up even a humdrum

meal, but they’re expensive to buy at the store and often go to waste in the fridge. Adding herb plants to your flower beds and decorative planters not only looks great and enhances your cooking, but makes eco-nomic sense. Some hardy perennial herbs can be incorporated into your long-term design, such as chives, mints, oregano, thymes, sages, and tarragon. More delicate plants will need to be replanted each year, like basils, parsley, and rosemary. As a bo-

contributedIn the spirit of adding interest and adventure

to your landscaping, allow berries and other edibles to share space with decorative

plantings.

nus, many herbs like chives and sage sport delightful flowers in season.

Trees for flowers and fruitDwarf or semi-dwarf fruit trees can be as

showy in springtime as ornamental cherry and crabapple trees. Choose a sunny spot with deep, rich soil, and remember that it can take several years for young fruit trees to bear fruit, and will require some attention to pruning, thinning, and pest management if you want a really success-ful harvest. Most apple, pear, and cherry trees need more than one individual tree or variety for pollination: do your research before choosing. Self-fertile trees, that can be planted alone, include European plums, peaches like ‘Reliant’ and some cherries such as ‘Stella’.

Berry bountyBlueberries, both highbush and lowbush,

are easy to grow and very attractive in the shrub border. In spring, they are covered with tiny bell-shaped white flowers, in sum-mer you’ll harvest plump berries, and in fall their foliage turns fiery scarlet-orange.

Alpine strawberries produce small, sweet berries and do not send out invasive run-ners – making them an ideal edging plant for flower beds. Both traditional strawber-ries and raspberries require a bit more maintenance to keep them in check, but will reward you with buckets of fruit.

Pretty vegetable plantsAnnual vegetable plants can add beau-

tiful foliage accents to your ornamental beds. Try ‛Bright Lights’ Rainbow Swiss Chard, with jewel-toned stalks, and frilly blue-green kale. Leaf lettuces come in a wide range of colors and make a delicious addition to an annual bed, or try a hot pep-per plant like ‛Serrano’ for a pop of red in late summer.

Re-zoningfrom page 1

R-1 residential district, which only permits single-family housing or duplexes. Accord-ing to Town Planner Kris Hultgren, the R-1 district only covers Longfellow Avenue, and is the most restrictive in Brunswick. Because the school was there before the zoning, it has been grandfathered.

Bowdoin has requested that the school be rezoned to a new zone created for the property, called College Use 7. The new zone would allow the college to convert the school into office or administrative buildings.

Hultgren said the details of the new zoning district are still being worked out, and couldn’t offer any details on height, lighting, parking or other restrictions.

But he said the College Use 7 district,

which will only apply to the Longfellow School, was “a special situation ... to help meet the needs of Bowdoin while addressing concerns of the neighbors.”

The Planning Department has already reacted to some of the questions raised by members of the College Neighbors Association at last week’s meeting. The town’s planners promised to work with Bowdoin to place a deed restriction on the property so that it could never be used as student housing.

Neighbors also questioned a map of the proposed zoning changes that would have rezoned additional Bowdoin-owned parcels along South Street as College Use 7, including the pine tree stand next to the Longfellow School and the Bowdoin College Children’s Center.

But after hearing from residents who were worried that would open the door to further development on the street, the

planners agreed to limit the rezoning to just the Longfellow School property.

Connie Lundquist, a member of the College Neighbors Association, said she thought the meeting went well, and that the town planners had made as many changes as possible without reneging on items they had discussed with the col-lege. She said she was looking forward to meeting with the college next, although nothing has been scheduled yet.

“I think people, when they know what

to expect and feel like they’ve had a voice, are much more likely to accept what is (changing) than just being told, ‘this is what it is,’” she said.

According to Town Manager Gary Brown, the outcome of the Longfellow-McLellan swap discussion will be pre-sented as part of the Capital Improvement Plan at a June Town Council meeting.

the home at 61 Little Ponds Road was known, were shocked and saddened by the fire.

“A lot of hearts were broken by that fire,” said Cricket Tupper, rescue chief of the Cundy’s Harbor volunteer fire depart-ment. “It was the end of an era.”

“This is a very, very special place that has for three generations been a center of family and friends gatherings and social events,” said Dianne Carrick, who lived in an apartment in the house from 1987 to 2009.

She recalled winters spent skating and sledding on the pond, followed by lunch and poetry readings inside the house with Susan Pulsifier, the former homeowner and a renowned poet.

Tupper, who also spent time there as a child, recalled sheep, apple trees, honey bees and farming at “the big house.”

“It was beautiful, heaven on earth ... it was a deeply loved place belonging to a deeply loved family,” she said.

The 111-year old house went up in

flames last Friday afternoon. By the time firefighters responded it was too late to save the house, but they were able to keep the fire from consuming the barn.

“The building was completely in-volved,” said Cundy’s Harbor Fire Chief Ben Wallace.

“(The fire) was going very hot,” said Tupper, who was one of the first respond-ers at the scene. “As we pulled up with the fire truck the windows were blowing out, the wires were coming down.”

By the time firefighters had extin-guished the fire, with help from neigh-boring stations, there was nothing left to save.

“The only thing left was two chimneys and an end wall,” Wallace said.

After interviewing neighbors and wit-nesses, an investigator from the State Fire Marshall’s office determined that the fire was intentionally set, and identified Pulsifer as a suspect.

Only one tenant was staying at the house at the time, and no one was harmed in the fire.

Frustratedfrom page 3

the town’s tacit acceptance of the mainte-nance facility over the objection of many of the Bouchard and Hennessey residents.

“We really feel like the town has consistently shown that it’s not for the citizens of the town ... that just means our only alternative is to reach out and work with NNEPRA,” Vinal said.

Vinal and fellow abutter Steve Fortier drove down to Portland on Monday af-ternoon to attend NNEPRA’s monthly board meeting. They brought maps of the neighborhood with them, pointed out the location of the proposed facility and its proximity to residences, and encouraged NNEPRA to find another site.

Quinn said the rail organization had considered other sites, including Rigby Yard in South Portland, but the Bruns-wick site was ideal because of its prox-imity to the end of the Downeaster’s run in Brunswick, and its length. Moving the site a few hundred yards in either direction would curtail the size of the proposed facility, she explained, which in turn would affect NNEPRA’s ability to efficiently service trains.

A maintenance facility in Brunswick would also allow the Downeaster to add two additional trips from Brunswick to Boston.

The board members listened atten-tively as Vinal and Fortier explained themselves, and promised to keep them informed. But they put their foot down when it came to involving the town and neighbors in the planning process.

“We’ll go out of our way to listen to you and we’ll go out of our way to be fair to you, but we won’t necessarily agree beforehand that we’re going to agree with everything you say,” said Martin Isaacson, chairman of the board.

With little legal recourse except the appeal they already filed, which could take up to a year to resolve, neighbors can only wait to see what happens next. NNEPRA is currently working out a deal to buy the property on either sides of the railroad tracks from Pan Am, and is se-lecting an engineer to design the building and work with residents to mitigate the facility’s impact on the neighborhood.

But if the facility goes ahead as planned, Fortier warned the NNEPRA board that they’ll be hearing from neigh-bors again.

“Most of these people are upset about this now but when they hear the noise (of idling trains) it’s going to be a totally different ball game.”

75 has) not followed certain technical procedural requirements of the special education regulations.”

He said confidentiality rules prohibit him from discussing specific students.

“SAD 75 offers a range of services to students with different needs, and we have excellent programs that enjoy state-wide recognition and that are tailored to the special needs of our students,” he said. “We are fortunate to have a team of outstanding educators who are dedicated to meeting the needs of every student in the district.”

Moore added that the school district is responsible for providing “an appropriate educational program to each student and we are very confident that in this case a thorough independent investigation will confirm that we offer exceptional pro-grams to our students.

“Because this is such a highly regu-lated area,” he continued, “I would not be at all surprised to find that someone could identify a technical oversight in some paperwork, but I can say with great confidence that when you look at our program as a whole it is one of the best programs available for students.”

Following the May 18 meeting the par-ties had about a week to submit to Braff any documents they think he should have, as well as the names and contact infor-mation of people they think he should interview, Connerty-Marin said.

Braff will conduct an investigation and ultimately prepare a report stating wheth-er he believes there have been any viola-tions of the law, and will make recom-mendations about what the district should do. He will submit that report to DOE Commissioner Stephen Bowen, who will have 60 days to issue his own report.

“One of the things (the report) contains is the findings as to whether there was a

violation of law or not, with respect to each of those allegations,” Braff said. “Any time there is a finding of violation, there is a corrective action plan that is part of the report, that tells the district what needs to be done.”

The allegations, listed in a document provided by Braff, cite six alleged viola-tions of Maine Unified Special Education Regulations, the DOE regulations that govern special education:

• Having a practice of not conducting a student re-evaluation at least once every three years.

• Not fully and adequately implement-ing students’ Individualized Education Programs during the first three weeks of the current school year. (IEPs are writ-ten statements – for students ages 3-20 receiving special education – that in-clude students’ present level of academic achievement, their measurable goals, the plan for students’ progress toward those goals and what specific special education

or related services they need.)• Modifying students’ educational pro-

grams without utilizing their IEP teams as the vehicle for making those decisions and without adequately considering their individual needs. (IEP teams convene to determine a student’s eligibility for special education, and they write a plan, including services, for that student once they deem him or her eligible.)

• Limiting Woodside Elementary School special education students to an abbreviated school day, and therefore not providing them with the appropriate public education.

• Not making determinations of the amount of extended school year services to provide students on an individualized basis.

• Not providing special education, related services, and supplementary services and aids that are based on peer-reviewed research.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@
