Tidewater master plan gets another 6-month extensionBy Colin Ellis

FALMOUTH — Despite some initial concerns about the commitment to the project, the Town Council allowed for another six-month extension of the Tidewater Master Plan De-velopment District.

The original master plan was for 10 years, and expired this past March. The developers of the project, Bateman Partners LLC, requested another 10-year plan to finish the development, but the Town Council ultimately settled on a six- month exten-sion, to expire in October.

The developers, under the name Tidewater LLC, did not submit the necessary documents to the town over the summer, and the expiration date for the second extension date is at hand. The developers then requested another six-month extension. On Sept. 16, the Council unani-mously voted to approve another extension until April 11, 2016.

Councilor Caleb Hemphill, who serves on a Tidewater ad-visory subcommittee, said he was concerned the developers were not being as expeditious as

possible. At the Sept. 16 Coun-cil meeting, councilors voted unanimously to approve an ordi-nance amending the zoning and site plan review ordinance to extend the master plan. At that meeting, Hemphill attempted to introduce another amendment which would have required all documents and plans to be sub-mitted by Dec. 21.

Hemphill was concerned the Town Council had not heard anything from developers since the summer, saying, “They were not responsive.” He said giving a “finite schedule” to receive the legal documents was prudent, as town staff would need time to go through all the documentation. He and Town Manager Nathan Poore said if documentation didn’t come in before the end of 2015, there wouldn’t be enough time to process the amendment for the order by April. After that, an additional extension would be needed.

“We have not been particular-ly encouraged by the rate of ful-filment of those interim requests

Yarmouth-to-Guatemala trip on again for kayaking grandmotherBy Kate Gardner

YARMOUTH — The kayak-ing grandma who departed for Guatemala last summer is back on track after having surgery in January.

Deb Walters, a resident of Troy, left from Yarmouth in July 2014 on what was supposed to be a year-long trip to Guatemala

to raise money for Safe Passage. Her plans changed due to a spinal injury she sustained from paddling.

Walters, 64, had paddled about 1,500 miles and had made it to South Carolina when she needed emergency surgery. While recovering during the spring and summer she still

managed to make it to Florida and Guatemala by sailboat as part of her scheduled speaking tour.

Now Walters is headed back to where she left off in South Carolina to continue her paddle to Guatemala. The trip was 65

Freeport and Maine Beer Co. honored with conservation awardsBy Kate Gardner

FREEPORT — Maine Beer Company and the town of Freeport were each hon-ored this week for their work in using solar energy.

The Maine Conservation Alliance on Monday honored the town and the beer company, located at 525 U.S. Route 1, with Community Climate Champion awards. The ceremony, held at Maine Beer Company, was attended by town officials, state Rep. Sara Gideon, Assured Solar Energy, and others.

“I am honored that Maine Conservation Alliance is recognizing our dedication to the environment,” Daniel Kleban, co-owner of Maine Beer Company, said.

In June, the company installed two large solar panels on its property that generate 50 percent of the company’s energy. Kleban said he’s not yet sure how much money this has saved the company because it’s still too soon to tell.

“It’s certainly been a savings,” he said. “Even more importantly, which you can’t quantify, is the good will we’re producing within the community.”

Kleban said he and his brother, the other co-owner, knew from the start that they wanted to use solar energy at Maine Beer Company.

“We started it with the idea of not only producing good beer, but we also wanted to be good corporate citizens,” he said. “The solar installation ... is one manifes-tation of that.”

The town has also been using more

solar energy, resulting in an award being given to Town Planner Donna Larson. Larson in November 2014 spearheaded Solarize Freeport, an initiative to reduce the cost of solar energy equipment for residents by encouraging enough people to sign up so the town could qualify for bulk pricing.

Larson said 41 homeowners have signed up for the program.

“(What we have) here in Freeport is a strong desire to make sure we protect the environment,” Larson said.

Solarize Freeport is the first bulk pur-chase of solar equipment by a Maine municipality, which Gideon applauded at the award ceremony.

“Energy is sort of the backbone of ev-erything we do,” Gideon said. “The states that figure out how to embrace renewable energy will be ahead.”

Although Maine Beer Company’s solar panel installation happened around the same time Solarize Freeport was being implemented, the two aren’t related. Lar-son said she hopes more businesses will see the success the beer company has had and follow suit. She said it might make the investment seem less risky.

“The whole idea of going solar is a huge financial commitment,” she said. “When they see their neighbors’ instal-lations it makes it so an investment isn’t as scary.”

Kleban agreed.“We saw it as a challenge that you can

Forget me not: Local family fights Alzheimers through marathonBy Colin Ellis

PORTLAND — For members of the Marr family, this year’s Maine Marathon is more than just an annual road race. It’s a day to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s disease.

On Sunday, Oct. 4, more than 70 mem-bers of the Marr family will participate in either the half marathon or marathon relay in support of the Josephine and John Marr Alzheimer’s Research Fund at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The goal is to raise $75,000 for future re-search and, as of Sept. 23, the Marrs are more than halfway there.

Falmouth resident John Marr, 83, said his family is so deeply involved because his wife Josephine has Alzheimer’s. John and his family gave $2 million to BWH in September to establish the fund and to encourage earlier detection and further research aimed at preventing the disease. Most research on individuals with symp-toms of the disease begins at age 65 and older, while Marr said research should start at age 50.

“Now my family and grandchildren got quite aggressive on fundraising on

an annual basis,” Marr said, which led to fundraising at the Maine Marathon. Marr said while the $2 million to Brigham and Women’s came from the family, the $75,000 donation is coming through on-line fundraising.

Marr said he had been looking into organizations working to put an end to Alzheimer’s for future generations, and eventually settled on Brigham and Wom-en’s because of its history of working on the disease and other neurological issues.

“I feel great about being able to put it into something that I can see results

from,” Marr said.The 75 or so members of the Marr fam-

ily will join nearly 3,500 other runners for the 2015 Maine Marathon. Marr will not be in the race, but will have a cookout for his family once the race is over.

The 24th annual Maine Marathon begins and ends at Baxter Boulevard, between Forest Avenue and Preble Street. All races start at 7:45 a.m. In addition to the 26.2-mile marathon, there is also a half marathon and marathon relay. An early 6 a.m. start is available for those walking the marathon who expect to maintain a pace of 13 minutes per mile or slower.

A number of roads will be closed to traffic during the race. In Portland, Baxter

Boulevard between Forest Avenue and Preble Street will be closed from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. In Falmouth, Depot Road from Route 1 to Route 88 will be closed from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Route 88 from Depot Road to north of Depot Road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Johnson Road from Route 1 to Route 88 will be closed from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with local traffic permitted. Gilman Road in Yar-mouth from Route 88 to Prince’s Point Road will be closed from 9 to 11 a.m.

Additionally, spectators are asked not to park on Route 88 at any point on the course, as runners will be traveling in both directions.

Cumberland council to mull services nix to WindhamBy Alex Lear

CUMBERLAND — The Town Council will decide next month whether to rescind the primary response services it has provid-ed Windham for 32 years.

The panel on Monday unanimously ap-proved setting a public hearing for Oct. 12 on the matter. Should it cancel primary po-lice, fire, and emergency medical services to the neighboring community, Cumberland would still assist Windham with mutual aid

calls if personnel are able to.Cumberland has been the first responder

to Windham homes around Forest Lake, which straddles both towns. Since Wind-ham’s nearest rescue station is more than 7 miles away from the area Cumberland services - and Cumberland’s western station is about half a mile away - Cumberland has served as the primary responder for that part of town, Town Manager Bill Shane

Film about veterans’ trauma to make Maine debutBy Colin Ellis

PORTLAND — The University of Southern Maine will host the state pre-miere of a documentary detailing sol-diers’ wartime trauma and their struggles to transition home.

The documentary, titled “Searching for Home: Coming Back from War,” will premiere Oct. 3 at the university’s Hannaford Hall, located in the Abrom-son Community Education Center on 88 Bedford St. An invitation-only reception will be held at 6:30 p.m.; the film will be screened at 7:30 p.m. and a question and answer session with the filmmakers will follow.

Eric Christensen, the director of the 106-minute documentary, said he has made documentaries about individual trauma in the past, which eventually led him to the topic of wartime trau-ma. The documentary, portions of

which were filmed in Maine, features veterans who survived injuries in war and their attempts to transition to life back home, as well as their family members.

The documentary looks at veterans suffering grief and trauma and spans multiple decades, from World War II to modern day conflicts.

Christensen, who lives in Burbank, California, said he hopes the message people take from the film is that recover-ing from trauma is a process.

“I want people to take away hope from the film and relate it their own traumas,” Christensen said.

He said military trauma is an acute ex-ample of trauma, and it is a good analogy that people who are suffering from their own trauma can relate to.

Pam Payeur, founder and executive director of the veteran’s group Wounded

Heroes Program of Maine, said she first met Christensen in July 2012, when he came to Maine to announce his film and attend a fundraising event for her pro-gram. Payeur and her son, Michael, an Iraq War veteran who served two combat tours and survived 11 improvised explo-sive device blasts, are both featured in the documentary.

“It’s such an important film to open the window to a world most people don’t understand or think doesn’t affect them, but most certainly does,” Payeur said.

Payeur said she hopes the documentary helps open the audience’s eyes to what wounded soldiers returning from war face in their transition home. She said it is a choice to serve in the military, and that those who don’t serve are in a position to make the transition easier.

“People (need to) understand we all

have role to play in thanking them for what they’ve done and the sacrifices they have made and their families have made,” she said.

Doors to the free screening will open to the public at 7 p.m.

North Yarmouth school site study supports septic systemBy Alex Lear

NORTH YARMOUTH — A hydro-geological study at the site of the for-mer North Yarmouth Memorial School has determined that the existing sewer system there could operate at a greater capacity – something needed to support the municipal sewer system that goes to referendum in November.

The Board of Selectmen has recom-mended that the school at 120 Memorial Highway, which was closed in June 2014, be redeveloped as a municipal and com-munity campus. The existing Town Hall would be sold for housing or commercial development, and a municipal sewer sys-tem would be created to help create new development.

Meanwhile, an opposing referendum question, the result of a successful cit-izen petition opposing the selectmen’s plan, in part calls for the town to stop all spending and work concerning the study or development of a sewer system.

The municipal sewer system question

has dominated town politics in recent months, particularly at a Board of Select-men candidates forum last month.

A public hearing on the selectmen’s question will be held at North Yarmouth Memorial School at 7 p.m. Oct. 14, fol-lowed by one on the petition question the next day at the same time and place. An informational presentation on the de-velopment recommendation will be held Oct. 21, also at the same place and time.

Sevee and Maher Engineers of Cum-berland Center stated in its Aug. 26 re-port that the firm’s study was meant “to estimate the maximum hydraulic capacity for subsurface wastewater disposal at the Site using leachfields, and to identify the optimum location(s) for leachfields that avoid adverse impacts to off-Site water quality.”

The firm mentioned five key findings:The hydraulic capacity at the site for

treated wastewater is about 45,000 gal-lons daily

The untreated wastewater capacity is about 7,000 gallons daily

In both cases, added wastewater can be disposed of at the site “without having adverse impacts to off-Site groundwater, residential water supply wells, or the

Yarmouth Water District’s water supply well.”

Usage of wastewater is better devel-oped in phases, as necessary, to keep

ALEX LEAR

Dan Diffin, project manager with Sevee & Mahar Engineers, on Sept. 24 explains the results of a hydrogeological study the firm conducted on the sewer system at North Yarmouth Memorial School. The town votes in November whether to create a municipal sewer system, built from that at the school.

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

Preserving the Portland you don’t seeLast Tuesday, I spent the morning walking and driving around

Portland looking for hitching posts and carriage mounts.I thought I spotted a carriage mount, a block of granite used to

step on to get into a horse drawn carriage, on the Eastern Prom, but it turned out upon closer inspection to be the cover for an underground electrical conduit. I had better luck up on the Western Prom.

Across from the end of Pine Street I found a granite block sticking about 2 feet out of the grass. Eureka! Then I thought I spotted another one down at the far end of the promenade across from Bowdoin Street, but it turned out to be a true meridian marker, marking longitude 70 degrees, 16 minutes. Not sure why, but I bet folks who rode in horse-drawn carriages knew.

The best carriage mount I found after two hours of looking was in front of the Zebulon Babson House on Danforth Street. Figures it would be well preserved, because the 1830 Babson House is one of the hundreds of Greater Portland Land-marks’ marker properties in the city. And it turns out GPL actually has a map of hitching posts and carriage mounts. Could have saved myself a lot of time.

The reason I went looking for hitching posts (didn’t find any, though I am told there are two on Spring Street) and carriage mounts is that GPL lists Equestrian Street Artifacts, c. 1840-1910, first on its list of five Places in Peril for 2015.

The others are the self-nominated Sacred Heart Church on Mel-len Street, the Hub Furniture building on Fore Street, a pre-Revo-lutionary War private residence in rough shape on Congress Street in Libbytown, and an abandoned schoolhouse on Winn Road in Cumberland. It seems the Hub Furniture building was originally the home of the Curtis & Son Chewing Gum Factory that produced spruce gum for the masses. The Cumberland school is one of only two known one-room brick Greek Revival schoolhouses in Maine.

Greater Portland Landmarks was founded in 1964 in response to the demolition of Union Station on St. John Street in August 1961. Since that time, GPL has researched and published the architectural history of Portland, helped write the city’s historic

preservation ordinances, had 72 properties designated as historic landmarks, placed historic place markers on close to 300 other buildings, worked to have eight historic districts designated, and generally advocated for historic preservation as a tool to balance growth and development.

In my book, GPL has been hugely successful. Portland is a pretty well-preserved little city.

In 2012, GPL started its Places in Peril program “to draw atten-tion to threatened and vulnerable sites.” The program has had some major victories, such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation adding the Abyssinian Meeting House, the nation’s third oldest African-American meeting house, on Newbury Street to its list of the most imperiled properties in the country.

Other key Portland Places in Peril include the Eastern and Western cemeteries, the Portland Co. locomotive complex on Fore Street, and the 1903 Grand Trunk office building standing all by its lonesome at the foot of India Street (huge Grand Trunk grain elevators were torn down in 1943 and 1974). GPL is also busy advocating for an appropriate relocation of the 1888 Union Sta-tion clock, which currently resides in Congress Square Plaza, site of a recent development battle royal. May I suggest the Portland Transportation Center on Thompson’s Point, which is both where trains arrive and depart the city today, and closer to the former site of Union Station than Congress Square?

As soon as the GPL equestrian street artifacts map arrives, I plan to take to the streets again. Searching for iron hitching posts and granite carriage mounts while cruising the 19th century streets of 21st century Portland without a map is kind of like trying to read the punctuation in a sentence rather than the words: You’re ignoring the obvious while trying to see things you usually don’t see.

And that’s the beauty of the Places in Peril program, calling attention to the overlooked.

I’m not sure a handful of hitching posts and carriage mounts left over from the horse culture of the 19th century are all the important architecturally, but they do give you a new appreciation for things like phone booths and parking meters, artifacts of the pre-digital age that are fast disappearing and will one day no doubt make a GPL Places in Peril list of the future.

Stevoe is officially a hug-free zoneI’m not quite sure when it happened, but

the human hug has evolved into a virtual landmine of social greetings that threat-ens global commerce and world peace.

OK, maybe that last part is a bit of a massive exag-geration (mea culpa: I’ve been watching too much GOP-TV lately, starring The Donald Clown). But buried within even the broadest hyperbole is a kernel of truth and here is mine: I have no idea who to hug or when to hug and that simple paradigm of confusion gives birth to a host of awkward situations that now tips this particular risk/reward element into the red zone for me.

What was once a ritual of physical intima-cy reserved for family members and close personal friends has seeped into day-to-day human interactions at work and life. And when you add other human dimensions that

involve gender sensitivities, age relativity, relationship boundaries, disparate levels of power in business (supervisor/subordinate)

height variations (I’m 6 feet 4 inches and hugging any-one shorter than 5 feet tall requires a delicate balance of contortion and precision), etc. – many “hug” situations are like a television game show where you never know when a buzzer will go off and you’ll fall through a trap door into a dark pit of awkwardness.

I know. It happened to me.A short while ago I was part

of a large agency/client meet-ing and after a grueling, but successful, three-hour period, the senior client executive was so elated with the outcome

that she walked around the table hugging everyone in the room. When she got to me, she took an extra moment to further express her appreciation for our work, followed by an enthusiastic hug, along with the whis-pered comment from her mouth to my left

ear across a distance of approximately two, less-than-comfortable inches, “You guys are great. Thank you.”

While there was no inappropriate intent on the part of my client, it felt awkward. Maybe we are all too desensitized about hugging to even register the correct response to events like this? By what mechanism could I have said, “No hug, please” without causing em-barrassment for her, me and everyone in the room, along with the possibility of harming an important business relationship?

A week later I was at another business event in Chicago with the same executive and as she approached me with her arms extended, I roboticly extended my arms in preparation for the awkward business hug – but at the last second, her right arm stiffened (think Heisman football trophy pose), and she went for the handshake instead, causing me to perform a ‘60s dance move as I tran-sitioned from hug to handshake mode in one painful second.

While it was certainly her prerogative as the hugger to hug or not hug (during both

8 Northern www.theforecaster.net October 1, 2015OPINIONFalmouth voters should make bag-ban decision

The light of freedom seems to have grown dimmer in Falmouth recently because of a proposed ban on plastic bags that we sometimes re-use to pack our lunches or carry donations to Goodwill. These practices seem to be destroying the planet and we must stop.

What concerns me is less to do with a ban but more with the mechanism of enforcement. I have a choice at the store. I can choose to receive paper or plastic bags or use my own “reusable” bag. I get to decide. The proposed ban removes that choice. Supporters shared that meetings, booths and displays have been used at

events to encourage the use of reusable bags; however, there was little partici-pation. Since we have not acted quickly enough, a ban would compel us to be aware. The message is getting out.

How many people used reusable bags five years ago? None. Now I see reus-

able bags in stores, at schools and the numbers seem to be growing. My house-hold did not have

reusable bags then, but now we use them regularly. However since Falmouth is not using reusable bags enough, we are being removed from the decision process.

That is how freedom falters. I would prefer encouraging the choice of reusable bags. If not, I hope a vote would be an option so I have a choice at the ballot box

if not in the checkout line. Some refuse degrades slowly, very similar to how freedom is lost, a little at a time.

Attacks on Planned Parenthood make no sense

A year ago, I needed information about my reproductive health and didn’t know where to turn. I wasn’t comfortable talking to my parents and my friends weren’t the most reliable source of information. Luckily, I found Planned Parenthood.

As a patient, I receive high-quality, affordable and compassionate care. I am listened to, have my questions answered and leave my appointment knowing I have a health care provider I can count on, no matter what.

Thanks to Planned Parenthood I am able to take the steps I need to protect

my health. I can focus on completing my education and my career goals without the worry of getting pregnant when I am not ready to start a family.

Given the important role Planned Parenthood has played in my life, the political attacks just don’t make sense to me. Why should politicians tell me where I can and cannot go for care? Or think it’s OK to insert themselves in my health-care decisions?

Planned Parenthood was there for me when I needed affordable, quality health care. I don’t know what I would do with-out their services. I am lucky to have a provider I know and trust. It’s time for the politicians behind these attacks to step into 2015 and understand the critical role Planned Parenthood plays in meeting the health care needs of millions of peo-ple just like me.

exchanges), how can the hug-ee refuse a hug without causing even greater discomfort than from the hug itself?

Another challenge occurs when you hap-pen to be married to a serial hugger, as I am. We can’t go to a sports event or restaurant without a dozen hugs taking place. Friends, parents of our kid’s classmates, neighbors, colleagues of mine at work, waitresses, airline pilots – everyone gets a big hug from Katie, often as a greeting, followed by another round during goodbyes.

Which is wonderful for my wife, because hugging is a natural extension of her warmth and humanity. But I’m usually left standing there, staring off into another galaxy during the inevitable and embarrassing moment when the person hugging my wife suddenly realizes that I’m in close proximity and then they’re forced to decide in mere nanoseconds:

• Should I throw Steve a charity hug?• Should I ignore Steve since he seems

currently focused on the Milky Way?• Should I shake Steve’s hand and estab-

lish a marital hug disparity?Here in Maine the issue of reckless hug-

ging goes well beyond social awkwardness, into the realm of being a health hazard, especially during flu season. How many of the 1,000-2,000 estimated cases of the flu each year could be prevented with a Novem-ber-April hug moratorium?

There are dozens of books and stories on the subject of hugging and a bus full of etiquette experts, each with their own brand of advice. The general consensus involves a few core tips: always respect the other person’s space, when in doubt ask the other person for permission, and limit each hug to just a second or two.

Interpreting the subjective dimensions of space? Navigating permission-based hugging with legal counsel standing-by on speed-dial? Carrying around a stopwatch for duration compliance?

It’s all too confusing.So going forward, I’m asking everyone to

please recognize and respect my request that unless you are one of my immediate family members, a direct blood relative (subcate-gory: the ones I still speak with) or a close personal friend with 10-plus years of history between us, please stop hugging me.

We can shake hands. We can fist-bump. I’ll even accept bro hugs, which are mod-ified handshakes with a slight forward tilt.

But that’s it for me. I’m hug-free.

9Northernwww.theforecaster.netOctober 1, 2015 OPINIONPanhandling is not the way Portland life should be

I use the Franklin Street exit off of In-terstate 295 to get to and from work. As a result, I pass several of the busier spots for panhandling in Portland.

There is usually some-one at the base of the northbound ramp, someone on the median of Marginal Way, south of the ramp, someone on the median of Franklin, on the east side of the intersection, and someone on the median of Somerset, east of Franklin near Whole Foods.

Most of them appear to be able-bodied, although I do recall one guy on crutches and a lady in a wheelchair. There’s a lot of turnover and few regulars. Sometimes the changing happens as I am passing by. Someone walks over and takes another’s place. Usually, they exchange some words. It does not appear to be uncivil. There’s also a pile of trash accumulating at the base of the exit ramp.

All of these people have signs. Most are a variation on a common plea for money. One said “this is embarrassing for me too.” I was struck by the juxtaposition of the woman whose sign said she had just arrived in Port-land and needed help and, within a week, the man whose sign said he needed help to get out of Portland.

My recollection is that panhandlers appeared on Portland intersections and median strips about three or four years ago. It seemed to be fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the Occupy Maine en-campment in Lincoln Park. There seem to be more now than ever – notwithstanding the fact that Maine’s unemployment rate,

and Portland’s in particular, are the lowest in eight years.

In 2012, the chief of police addressed the City Council’s public safety committee about the issue. That July, the council voted 6-3 to reject an amendment to the city code that would have banned, in the interest of safe-ty, standing, sitting or staying on a median strip.

People complained and the committee revisited the matter. Twenty-one people addressed the committee at its June 2013 meeting. Of those, one opposed the amendment, two were ambivalent, and the rest favored it. None identified themselves as a panhandler. The council voted 6-0 to pass

the amendment in July.One panhandler and two political protest-

ers sued. In February 2014, a federal judge expressed skepticism about the city’s public safety rationale. He ruled that the amend-ment was an unconstitutional, over-broad, content-based limitation on speech in a traditional public forum.

The city appealed, arguing there was no other way to address its concern about safety.

The U.S. Court of Appeals didn’t believe the city, either. Last month, it held that the amendment prohibited virtually all activity and speech on all median strips, yet the city only demonstrated that a few were dangerous, and didn’t seriously try to find a better-tailored solution to the problem. It suggested several ways that Portland could have written a constitutional ordinance.

Everything about the panhandling situ-ation in Portland is unfortunate, beginning

with people begging for money. It gives the misleading impression that Portland is stingy. It’s lamentable that no one dares to seriously investigate the situation. Everyone just projects their biases and prejudices on it. It’s an absurd way to try to solve a problem.

Theoretically, a legislative body like our City Council investigates a problem before it enacts a solution. It holds hearings to take evidence and hear from witnesses about the

problem, its causes and possible solutions. In this case, that would include taking testimony from some of the panhandlers about who they are, where they come from, and why they are begging for money. That didn’t happen.

It’s embarrassing.Halsey Frank is a Portland resident, attor-

ney and former chairman of the Republican City Committee.

12 Northern www.theforecaster.net October 1, 2015OBITUARIESGranville I. Smith, 87: Harbor pilot helped shape Maine’s maritime industry

CUMBERLAND — Granville Isaac “Pete” Smith, 87, of Cumberland Foreside, died Sept. 19, with his family by his side.

Smith was born Oct. 26, 1927, a son of Sherman Devere Smith and Gladys Josephine (Laberee) Smith. After his father died in 1929, Gran-ville was sent aboard a bus from Albany, New York, to live with his grandparents on a small farm in East Pittston.

Smith was educated through the eighth grade in a one-room schoolhouse, but later attended Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts. Homesick for Maine, he eventually returned to Gardiner, where he completed high school in just three years.

He graduated in 1947 from Maine Mari-time Academy with a bachelor’s degree in nautical science. Soon afterward, he began his maritime career as a deck officer, swiftly rising to the rank of captain in the interna-tional tanker trade. Smith sailed with Mobil Oil Corp. from 1947-1958.

He wed Mary Louise Marks, of Ran-dolph, on June 30, 1951. They were married

for 53 years until her death in 2004, and together raised four children. In 1958, the family moved to Cumberland Foreside. The house Smith built there is still enjoyed by his children today, and the family has grown to include 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Also in 1958, Smith began his career as a Portland Harbor pilot, and went on to safely guide inbound and outbound vessels for more than 43 years. Over his career, Smith 12 times received a U.S. Merchant Marine Master Unlimited License to navigate any ocean, a rare accomplishment. The U.S. Coast Guard incorporated his answers and knowledge into its licensing examination. In 1969, Smith designed Portland’s first steel pilot vessel, replacing the wooden schooner and dory that had been used.

Smith served for many years as the Maine trustee to the American Pilots’ Association, and was active in the Port-land Marine Society for more than three decades, holding the positions of president, secretary and treasurer. He also was a member of the Portland Propeller Club. He was widely regarded for the lasting impact he made on the Portland waterfront and its development.

Smith also was deeply dedicated to

Maine Maritime Academy, and served as president of its alumni association, as well as a member of academy and alumni boards. In 1974, MMA honored him as an outstanding alumnus. In 1997, he was inducted into the academy’s Wall of Honor. He helped establish in 1998 the Capt. Gran-ville I. Smith Regimental Scholarship Fund, which provides education to deserving mid-shipmen, and continued to support the fund over the years. In 2005, MMA named the Capt. Granville I. Smith Bridge Simulator Center in his honor.

When he was ashore, Smith found great joy in hunting, fishing and being outdoors at his family’s retreat for more than 50 years, Seboeis Farm, in Penobscot County. He was a registered Maine guide and al-ways passionate about the state of Maine.

Smith is survived by his four children: Gary Ford Smith, his wife, Debra, of South Portland, and their children, Shan-non Elizabeth Richards, Kahsi Ann, Jason James and Ian Isaac; Mark Russell Smith, of Falmouth, and his children, Gregory Lawrence and Meaghan Catherine; Shelly Smith Shuka, her husband, John, of Ham-ilton, Massachusetts, and their children, Christopher Andrew, Lindsey Katherine Collens and Kelsey Lauren; and Holly Dineen Smith, her husband, Jason, of San-ibel Island, Florida, and their children, Zane Joshua and Peyton Clay.

At the family’s request, no funeral was scheduled; private interment was to be at Seboeis Farm.

The family extends deep thanks to the staff of Falmouth by the Sea and Foreside Harbor.

Look, 94, died peacefully Sept. 24 at her home in Yarmouth surrounded by family.

She was born Aug. 25, 1921, in Haver-hill, Massachusetts to Gladys Mitchell and Arthur Hazen Abbott. She grew up in Salem, New Hampshire and graduated from Woodbury High School and Burdette College in Boston.

Look was an accomplished classical pi-anist and played for a live broadcast radio series at the age of 17. She instilled her love of classical music and the piano to all her children, insisting on piano lessons at the Conservatory in Bangor every Saturday, a four-hour round trip. She worked as a nurse’s aide during World War II in Boston and as a hostess at the officers club and the USO.

After graduating from college, she worked in Boston at Brown Publishing Company, various advertising agencies and, later, for a stock broker, who introduced her to her future husband, Oscar Look.

Look had just returned from the Pacific Theater, where he had been imprisoned by the Japanese for more than 3 1/2 years after surviving the Bataan Death March.

Look loved to cook for her family and the community, and played the organ for the Community of Christ Church for nearly 50 years. She was a founding member of the Women’s Auxiliary, as well as a volunteer for the Red Cross. She helped organize the Addison Historical Society and served as the president for several years.

Look was worthy matron of the Eastern Star and the organist for many years. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and president and librarian of the Mayhew Library Associa-tion. She shared her love of music and gave music lessons to many children of the local community over the years.

She was a loyal Republican and served as a state committee woman. In addition to her volunteer work, she worked as a secretary/bookkeeper for A.L. Stewart and Sons in Cherryfield and later in advertising for the Ellsworth American and as a top salesper-son for WDEA Radio. Upon retirement, she went to live with her daughter, Jane, and granddaughter, Hanna in Yarmouth.

She is survived by her children, Jane Abbott, Sarah, Elizabeth, Kathryn Grace, and Robert Arthur; her grandchildren, Erin Jessica Look, Christopher Robert Caler and his wife, Stephanie, Kristin Lin Hernandez and her husband, Tim, and Hannah Eliza-beth Abbott Look and three great-grandchil-dren, Andrew, James and Addison Elizabeth Caler.

She was predeceased by her husband, Oscar Lowell Look Sr., a son, Oscar Lowell Look Jr. and her grandson, Vance Emerald Caler.

Services were held at the South Addison Union Church in South Addison Sept. 27, with a graveside memorial afterwards at the family cemetery on the east side in Addison.

Flowers or donations may be made to the Union Church c/o Pastor Harold Tyler, South Addison Union Church, Mooseneck Road, South Addison, ME 04606.

October’s arrival means postseason’s nearBy Michael Hoffer

(Ed. Note: For the complete Yarmouth-Waynflete boys’ soccer, Falmouth-Yarmouth, NYA-Sacop-ee Valley and Yarmouth-Cape Elizabeth field hockey and Fal-mouth-Scarborough volleyball game stories, with photos, see

theforecaster.net)Autumn is definitely upon

us and the games are taking on greater importance.

Local squads remain very competitive in all sports and look to keep winning as the stretch runs nears.

Here’s a glimpse:Football

Falmouth and Yarmouth’s football teams remained unbeat-en and Greely got in the win column for the first time last weekend.

The Yachtsmen built on their big victory over Biddeford with a workmanlike 26-7 triumph at Mt. Ararat to improve to 4-0. Falmouth took a 12-7 lead after one quarter on a 2-yard touch-down run from Connor Aube and a 5-yard pass from Jack Bryant to Nick Wissemann. A Connor Aube 1-yard TD run and a two-point conversion pass made it 20-7 at halftime. Aube then broke a 99-yard touchdown run in the second half to put it away. Aube finished with 163 yards on 14 carries.

Falmouth (now first in the Class B South Crabtree Points standings) has another huge test Friday when 3-1 Leavitt pays a visit. The teams have no history. A Yachtsmen win would give them the inside track for the top

seed in the region and homefield advan-tage for the playoffs.

The Clippers improved to 4-0 with a 48-12 win at Fryeburg Academy. Touch-down runs from Jack Snyder and Cody Cook put Yarmouth up, 14-0, after one period. Cook (94-yards) and Snyder added second quarter TDs for a 28-0 lead at halftime. Johan Thoma threw a touch-down pass to Michael Hagerty and Cook (who finished with 175 yards) scored on another long run in the third quarter for a 41-0 lead and after the Raiders scored a pair of TDs, a Remi Leblanc touchdown run accounted for the final score.

The Clippers (second to Cape Eliz-abeth in Class C South) will face their first big challenge of the season Friday when 3-1 Wells pays a visit. Last year, Yarmouth lost at the Warriors, 21-14.

The Rangers improved to 1-3 with a 41-8 home win over Gorham. Sam Peck did a little of everything, scoring a touch-down on the ground, finding paydirt on a punt return and throwing for another score. Joey Casella and Case Steuer both added two TDs.

Greely (ninth in Class B South) is at 2-2 Morse Friday. The teams didn’t play last year.

Freeport fell to 0-4 after a 56-12 home loss to Cape Elizabeth. The Falcons

struck first on a touchdown pass from Eli Fox to Brady Lafrance to lead, 6-0, but the Capers erupted for 29 unan-swered points in the second period to take a 29-6 advantage to the half. Cape Elizabeth stretched its lead to 42-6 after three quarters and added two more scores in the fourth, sandwiched around a long TD pass from Josh Burke to TJ Morrill, to account for the final margin.

Freeport (ninth in Class C South) is home with 1-3 Fryeburg Academy Sat-urday. The teams didn’t meet last fall.

Boys’ soccerBoth Falmouth and Yarmouth’s boys’

soccer team fell from the unbeaten ranks last week.

The Yachtsmen’s win streak ended at five games last Monday with a 2-1 loss at York. Falmouth responded with a ven-geance Friday with a 13-0 home drubbing of Poland. Devin Russell had the goal in the loss. Ten players scored against the Knights, with Hayden Farr leading the way with three goals. Jonah Speigel added a pair. The Yachtsmen (second to Thornton Academy in the Class A South Heal Points standings at press time) went to Greely Tuesday, play at Yarmouth Saturday (see theforecaster.net for game story) and visit Cape Elizabeth Tuesday of next week.

The Clippers took a two-year, 14-game

win streak to Waynflete Friday, but went down to defeat for the first time this fall. Yarmouth fell behind, 1-0, in the first half and 2-0 early in the second. Matt Dostie got a goal back in the 62nd minute, but the Clippers couldn’t produce the equal-izer and fell to 6-1.

“Our energy wasn’t where it needed to be, especially after that first goal,” said Yarmouth coach Mike Hagerty. “We knew Waynflete’s good. Down the mid-dle is their strength and we kept wanting to go there. I thought they defended very well and I thought we were impatient. I didn’t think we had the right energy. No team is unbeatable. These kids got a really good lesson. We needed to be patient. The field’s plenty wide enough, we just didn’t make it wide. We acted like teenage boys who thought they’d just get it done. We didn’t create when we needed to.”

The Clippers (third in Class B South) was at Cape Elizabeth Tuesday (see theforecaster.net for game story), hosts Falmouth Saturday and goes to York Tuesday of next week.

Greely evened its record at 3-3-1 with a 6-0 home win over Freeport last Thurs-day. Jacob Nason had a hat trick, while Henry Melville, Will Pidgeon and Lucas Watt also had goals. The Rangers (sixth

in Class B South) were home against Falmouth Tuesday, go to York Saturday and welcome Kennebunk Tuesday of next week.

Freeport fell to 1-5-1 and 1oth in Class B South after a 3-1 loss at Fryeburg Academy and a 6-0 home setback to Greely. Caiden Shea had the Falcons’ goal against the Raiders. Freeport was home with Lake Region Tuesday, visits North Yarmouth Academy Friday and plays at Poland Tuesday of next week.

NYA had three tough tests last week and went 2-1. After edging visiting ri-val Waynflete, the Panthers suffered an agonizing 1-0 double-overtime loss at Gray-New Gloucester. Thursday, NYA improved to 5-2 (and fourth in Class C South) with a 2-1 home win over Wells. Michael Pitts had both goals. The Pan-thers went to Sacopee Valley for a play-off rematch Tuesday and host Freeport Friday.

Girls’ soccerGreely’s girls’ soccer team remained

perfect at press time, beating host Free-port, 4-1, Friday to improve to 7-0. Joce-lyn Mitiguy had three goals and Courtney Sullivan scored the other. The Rangers (first in the Class B South Heal Points standings at press time) were home with Falmouth Tuesday, play host to York Friday (see theforecaster.net for game story) and go to Kennebunk Tuesday of next week.

Yarmouth appears to be hitting its stride, improving to 4-3 and ninth in

Class B South after a 3-0 home victo-ry over Wells last Thursday. Gretchen Barbera, Cory Langenbach and Eavan O’Neill had the goals. The Clippers were at defending regional champion Cape Elizabeth Tuesday (see theforecaster.net for game story), host Falmouth Saturday and welcome York Tuesday of next week.

Freeport fell to 1-5-1 after a 1-1 home tie versus Fryeburg Academy and a 4-1 home loss to Greely last week. In the deadlock, Taylor Rinaldi had the goal. The Falcons (12th in Class B South) were at Lake Region Tuesday, host NYA Friday and visit Wells Monday.

Falmouth rallied to tie visiting York, 1-1, then improved to 4-2-1 with a 9-0 home victory over Poland last week. In the tie, Alex Shapiro had the goal. Amelia Waite and Sydney Williams both scored twice against the Knights. The Yachtsmen (fourth in Class A South) went to Greely Tuesday, visit Yarmouth Saturday (see theforecaster.net for game story) and host Cape Elizabeth Tuesday of next week.

NYA lost its seventh in a row last Tuesday, 7-0, then got in the win column and improved to 1-7 after an 8-0 home victory over Pi ne Tree Academy Friday. The Panthers (16th in Class C South) hosted defending Class C champion Sacopee Valley Tuesday, visit Freeport Friday and play at Lake Region Tuesday of next week.

Field hockeyYarmouth’s field hockey team, which

moved up to Class B this fall, earned a landmark victory last week. After a 4-0

win at Cape Elizabeth (Eliza Lunt, Ally MacLeod, Emilie Martin and Abby Mc-Dowell had the goals), the Clippers suf-fered their first blemish of the season in a 0-0 tie at Kennebunk. Saturday, Yarmouth went to Falmouth, a team the Clippers hadn’t beaten since Sept. 12, 2003.

After not scoring in 76 minutes at Ken-nebunk, it took Yarmouth just 70 seconds to grab the lead for good at Falmouth, as Molly Wilson redirected Bre Morrill’s hit. The Clippers doubled their lead early in the second half when MacLeod scored, from McDowell. The Yachtsmen got a goal back, but Yarmouth held on to end a 16-game skid at the hands of Falmouth, 2-1.

“A win is really nice because we hadn’t faced them since freshman year,” said senior defensive standout Sammy Middleton, who was in kindergarten the last time Yarmouth beat Falmouth. “We really wanted it today and I think it really showed. Sometimes we got frustrated, but we huddled and we pumped each other up.”

“We knew we had to keep playing like

it was 0-0 and come out our hardest and play like we really wanted it,” MacLeod said.

“This year has been sort of a surprise,” Wilson said. “Our leaders have stepped up and have helped push us through the season. We’ve jelled together and we work well as a team. We’re a close-knit family. Other teams aren’t as close as us. That helps us a lot.”

“It feels good,” added Yarmouth coach Mandy Lewis. “It’s the first time in my career that we’ve beaten Falmouth. We knew it would be a big game tonight.”

The Clippers improved to 9-0-1 and second in the Class B South Heal Points standings with a 5-1 home win over Cape Elizabeth Monday.

It took less than six minutes for Yar-mouth to go on top when MacLeod scored on a penalty corner. Emilie Martin and McDowell then rattled the cage to put the Clippers on top, 3-0, at halftime. If that wasn’t enough, Yarmouth ended all doubt early in the second half, as in a 23-sec-ond span, Wilson and McDowell again

scored goals to stretch the lead to 5-0 “We know even though we’ve done

really well, we have to get pumped up every game to keep our streak going,” said McDowell. “I think we’re all pretty surprised. We were nervous going into Class B, but we’ve stepped up to the challenge and we’re having fun with it.”

“Monday games can always be tricky, especially when you have a Saturday game before-hand,” said Lewis. “We had a meeting before the game and talked about the importance of coming out with intensity. We were worried about our in-tensity coming off such a big game, but the second half I thought was much better than the first.”

Yarmouth will get a chance to truly measure where it stands in the regional pecking order when defending Class B champion York pays a visit Thursday. The Clippers go to Poland Tuesday.

Greely was 3-6 and eighth at press time after a 3-2 home win over Poland and a 3-2 loss at Gray-New Gloucester last week. In the victory, Hannah Rose scored twice and Mariah Wilcox had the

eventual winning tally. Lizzie Brown made six saves. In the loss, Wilcox and Kayla Barry rattled the cage and Brown made 16 saves. The Rangers were at Freeport Wednesday (see theforecaster.net for game story), host the McAuley/Waynflete co-op team Saturday and play host to Gray-New Gloucester Tuesday of next week.

Freeport saw its skid hit five games last Wednesday with a 2-1 loss at Lake Region (Alexa Koenig had the Falcons’ goal). Friday, Freeport ended its losing streak with a 5-0 home win over Sacopee Valley, thanks to two goals from Bailey Coffin. The Falcons dropped to 2-6 and 10th in Class B South after a 5-0 loss at York Monday. Freeport was home with Greely Wednesday, hosts Falmouth Saturday and goes to Fryeburg Academy Tuesday.

Falmouth blanked visiting Gray-New Gloucester, 3-0, last Thursday (Sydney Bell, Kate Kelley and Lisa Smoluk had the goals), then fell to 6-4 Saturday with a 2-1 home loss to Yarmouth, despite a goal from Devin Sarazin.

“Falling behind was hard, especially against an undefeated team, but I’m proud of how we played in the second half,” said Yachtsmen coach Robin Haley. “Yarmouth had their ‘A’ game today. We just came up short.”

Falmouth (sixth in Class A South) was home with Cape Elizabeth Wednesday, goes to Freeport Saturday and visits Kennebunk Tuesday.

NYA has won four in a row and is peaking at an optimal time. Last week, the Panthers blanked visiting Sacopee Valley and Traip Academy by 1-0 scores to improve to 6-4 and fifth in Class C South. Against the Hawks, freshman Amber Rose had the goal.

“I think it was a tough game to play,” Rose said. “It was very nervewracking. Their goalie was very strong.”

“The kids have done a tremendous

job,” said NYA coach Julia Sterling, who returned to the program this fall. “My team has the most spirit and the most ca-maraderie. It’s just another NYA group of kids that cares so much about each other. I feel so honored to be part of it. It’s fun to be back.”

Rose also had the goal against the Rangers. NYA was home against Wells Wednesday, then is idle until Wednesday of next week when Cape Elizabeth pays a visit.

VolleyballGreely’s volleyball team stretched

its win streak to six after a 3-0 (25-15, 25-10, 25-15) victory at Biddeford last Thursday. Hannah Butland had 21 as-sists and Molly Chapin had 10 kills. The Rangers (6-2 and sixth in Class A Heal Points standings) hosted defending Class A champion Cape Elizabeth Tuesday, welcome Falmouth Thursday and go to Scarborough Tuesday of next week.

Yarmouth bounced back from its lone loss with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-13, 25-20) home win over Mt. Desert Island Friday. Liz Clark finished with 20 assists, Rachel Chillé had nine service points and Alison Clark had seven kills. The Clippers (6-1 and fourth in Class A) had a tough test at Scarborough Tuesday, visit Gorham Thursday and welcome Kennebunk Tues-day of next week.

Falmouth was 6-2 and third at press time. Last week, the Yachtsmen dropped a tough five-set decision at Scarborough, 25-19, 17-25, 25-22, 18-25, 13-15.

Lydia Farmer had 13 kills, Julia Tread-well added 10 and Amanda Watson had 27 assists, but it wasn’t enough.

“I think we’re pretty equal teams, but we showed more inconsistency today,” said first-year Falmouth coach Molly Northway. “It came down to errors. Our passing just wasn’t there. We have some things to work on. We have to put points away. We’ve lost to two great teams.”

The Yachtsmen then blanked visiting Kennebunk and Monday won, 3-0, at Cony,. Falmouth goes to Greely Thurs-day, makes the long trip to Mt. Desert Island Saturday, then hosts Biddeford Tuesday.

NYA fell to 3-5 and seventh in Class B after losing at home by 3-0 scores to Washington Academy (21-25, 13-25, 6-25) and Machias (22-25, 20-25, 19-25) Saturday. Zelda Clegg had six kills against Washington Academy. Suzanna Butterfield had 14 digs and 10 kills and Clegg added eight kills against Machias. The Panthers were home versus Lake Region Tuesday, go to Jonesport-Beals Friday and visit Sumner and Bucksport

Sometimes we all get too close for comfortIt was long past Miller time as I was wrap-

ping up a nine hour shift that started at 6:30 in the morning. Ready to put on my battered Chuck Taylors, I wanted nothing more than to plop down on the light side of the bar and watch the end of the Pats game. Brady was on point, Belichick was showing no mercy and a second beer was in my near future. It would have been the perfect relaxing after-work scenario had my last customer respected the fact that I was no longer on duty.

Not exactly a frequent flyer, the guy comes in just often enough to presume an intimacy that doesn’t exist. He’s a pleasant sort, but over the years boundaries have evolved that are changing the way I embrace (or not) my customers. Call it learning from my mistakes, or reach-ing an inevitable level of maturity, but I no longer want to make close personal friends out of my customers.

Granted, some of the best people I know used to sit at my bar 20 years ago. Still believing it to be a simpler time, I didn’t understand the professional and self-pro-tective necessity of not having after-work shift drinks with customers. I laughed at the unenforceable “policy” of no fraternization between guests and staff, thinking the same policy between staff and staff was (and still is) even funnier.

Those days were indeed less complicated. I met my BFF’s husband at Bintliff’s Amer-ican Cafe months before I met her. Also a Bintliff’s alum, my hair is still being coifed (and now colored) by a woman whose wedding I attended. This same friend is responsible for Number One’s never-ending purple hair phase and encourages all of us to embrace our inner curly girl.

I met doctors to hit up for free medical advice. A happy hour regular from that era still acts as a career consultant for my col-umn expansion pipe dreams. One former customer and I are forever bonded, as I was the first person he met upon moving to Portland. I love and respect him dearly, and he has followed me around from place to place, chastising me for not tending bar at the upscale, polished restaurants he prefers to haunt.

“So. What are your sons’ names again?” this present day customer asked, trying to make conversation beyond the day’s weather report. Intentionally sidestepping the ques-tion, I told him I have two daughters and a dog, all of whom are living away from home. Turning the tables, I inquired about his family and his recent foot surgery. The later was not because I remembered he was undergoing such an operation, but because he had a bright orange, velcro-strapped boot on his left foot. For me, it was safe ground to tread, if not difficult for him to hobble.

“Yeah, it still really hurts,” he replied, slurping his double Dewer’s neat. “The sissy pain pills don’t do a thing. In fact, I have an appointment tomorrow and may

ask the doc for a different kind.” Thinking he shouldn’t be taking sissy pain pills while drinking scotch, and then driving (especially

from where I work), I nodded politely and turned away.

Talking with a young server friend, I discovered I’m not becoming uncharacteristically standoffish without good rea-son. According to her, making friends with customers isn’t something she, or her cohorts would ever consider.

“Sure, cute guys come in, and I have a lot of regulars who I’m on first name basis with,” she said. “I’d never hang out with them after work because the world is kind of crazy these days. You know, it isn’t that much different from

meeting people online. You just don’t know if they’re creepers, stalkers or who they really are.”

Our conversation brought me back to that “simpler time” and to a chitchat I once had with a co-worker about her plans to hitch-hike across the country. ”It just isn’t done anymore,” I said way back when. “You never know who’s driving. It could be dangerous.”

While caution is key, that doesn’t mean genuine, professional politeness will ever go out of vogue in hospitality. What it does mean is thinking hard about trust. That, and learning to sit at least one bar stool apart from the boundary breakers.

Peas & Q’sA while ago, you wrote that Portland

was imploding from too many new places, saying there were too many pieces of the restaurant pie. You’re probably right, but I think we are missing a nice, but affordable, Chinese place. What do you think? Hank. T., Portland

Yes, I’d like a new, fresh and inspired “One-from-column-A, One-from-B” Chinese

restaurant. More pressing however, is the need for a Jewish-style deli with decadently over-stuffed sandwiches. It was exciting when we all thought Full Belly Deli was coming back to town, instead of landing in Westbrook. While we do have some good sandwich opportunities on the peninsula, none quite fill that yummy, schmaltz-laden order.

Dietary considerations for those over 50As people age, their

dietary needs begin to change. Foods that were once staples of your diet as a youth may be restricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have always avoided may now be necessary to fuel and support a healthy body.

Eating healthy foods and exercising may not be enough to sustain health, as hormonal changes and other health effects as a person reaches age 50 can have a profound impact on his or her nutritional requirements. The following are a few things men and women over 50 may want to consider as they look to eat a healthy diet for years to come.

Vitamin DBoth men and women age 50 and

up have a reduced ability to produce vitamin D through exposure to the sun. Extra vitamin D will be needed from foods and supplements. Every-one over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU (10 µg), according to Canada’s Food

Guide. Without adequate vitamin D, bone strength and health can deteriorate because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Vitamin D also has other roles, including helping neuromuscu-lar and immune function and reducing inflammation.

Friendly fatsPeople over age 50 should increase

their intake of unsaturated fats and reduce consumption of saturated fats. Nutrient-rich unsaturated fats can guard against heart conditions, protect against stroke, keep skin supple, and even help men and women maintain good neuro-logical health. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, olives, seeds, and fatty fishes.

Dietary recommendations change for people age 50 and older.

Increase proteinAccording to Christine Gerbstadt, MD,

RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as they age, men and women need more protein in their diets to maintain their muscle mass. The amount of protein needed at a younger age no longer may be adequate. Look for lean sources of protein from fish and poultry. Beans are also a low-fat source of protein that can help fulfill daily pro-tein requirements.

More fiberEating more fiber can help with di-

gestive and intestinal problems, such as constipation. Constipation can occur when fiber intake is not enough, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle. The best way to get fiber is through diet. Leave the skins on fruit and vegetables and choose whole fruits over juices. Whole-grain breads and cereals also are good sources of fiber. Dry beans and lentils can add a fiber boost. Always increase fiber slowly

to determine your tolerance.Fewer calories

The National Institute on Aging says women over the age of 50 need between 1,600 and 2,000 calories, depending on how physically active they are. Men need between 2,000 and 2,400 calories per day. With each passing year there is a de-crease in the energy required to maintain body weight, so caloric intake should be adjusted accordingly.

More waterAs a person ages, his or her body may

not signal it is thirsty as well as it once did, so it’s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehy-drated. The Mayo Clinic recommends around nine to 10 cups of beverages per day to remain hydrated.

Eating healthy and changing one’s diet is important as a person ages, as dietary needs at age 50 may be quite different from what they were at age 30.

How to protect your vision over the long haul

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eye diseases relat-ed to aging are the primary cause of vision impairment in the United States. Many people consider vision loss a natural side effect of aging, but there are ways men and women can protect their vision and reduce their risk of vision loss as they age.

• Quit smoking. According to the Na-tional Eye Institute, smoking doubles a person’s risk for age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in men and women

over the age of 50. It causes damage to the macula, which is the part of the eye needed for sharp, central vision. If the macula is damaged, vision may be blurry, distorted or dark.

• Protect eyes from ultraviolet light. The American Optometric Association notes that UV-A and UV-B radiation can have adverse effects on a person’s vision. A short-term effect of excessive exposure to UV radiation is photokeratitis, a pain-ful condition that can lead to red eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Long-term effects of such expo-sure include a higher risk of developing cataracts and damage to the retina, which is the part of the eye used for seeing. When spending time outdoors, always wear sunglasses that provide protection against UV-A and UV-B rays.

• Maintain a healthy blood pressure. High blood pressure, often referred to as HBP or hypertension, can contribute to vision loss as a person ages. The Ameri-can Heart Association notes that HBP can

Home remedies for joint pain can provide relief

Stiff, painful joints affect a vast number of people. According to the American College of Rheumatology, arthritis and other rheumatic diseases afflict roughly 23 percent of Americans, while Canadian Health Surveys indicate that nearly 17 percent of the Canadian adult population have arthritis. The number of people liv-ing with arthritis is expected to increase as the Baby Boomer generation continues to age.

Treatments for joint pain and stiffness range from medication to physical ther-apy. Finding the right regimen may take some effort, including some trial and error. For those looking for treatments they can try at home, consider these homespun remedies. (Note: Check with a physician to confirm the safety of alter-native treatments before adding herbs to or modifying your existing medications.)

• Exercise more. Regular movement helps to maintain flexibility in the body’s joints. Those with joint pain may shy away from exercise, but they could be doing themselves a disservice. Low-im-pact exercises, like swimming and water aerobics, can work out muscles and joints without adding extra stress. Walking can replace jogging or running, and yoga and pilates may be just the thing for deep stretching.

• Lose weight. Joint pain is often tied to obesity. Losing just a few pounds can ease up strain on certain joints, such as the hips, feet and knees. Shedding weight can improve mobility and decrease pain and potential future damage to joints. Exercise goes hand-in-hand with healthy eating to lose weight.

• Consider hot and cold therapies.

Using a heating pad, hot shower or bath or an ice pack can work wonders on ar-thritis-related pains. Hot treatments will loosen up stiff joints, while cold therapy is best for acute pain relief. Do not apply hot and cold packs to the skin directly, as this can injure the skin. Wrap them in a towel first before application.

• Include anti-inflammatory foods and beverages in your diet. Explore the many different natural foods and herbs that are purported to reduce inflammation in the body. Ginger, turmeric, flaxseed, grape juice, and bromelain can alleviate inflam-mation and stiffness. Foods such as fatty fish and nuts high in omega-3 fatty acids also will help fight inflammation. Blue-berries, garlic, celery, and kelp should be included in diets as well.

strain blood vessels in the eyes, causing them to narrow or bleed. HBP also can cause the optic nerve to swell, compro-mising a person’s vision as a result. Eye damage that results from HBP is cumula-tive, which means the longer it goes un-treated, the more likely the damage to the eye will be permanent. Men and women can maintain a healthy blood pressure by eating right, exercising regularly and sustaining a healthy weight.

• Take breaks from work. Computer

vision syndrome, or CVS, is a legitimate condition that can develop when a person spends ample time staring at a computer screen. Adults and kids alike are suscep-tible to CVS, which can cause symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, eye irritation, and headaches. One way to reduce risk of developing CVS is to take frequent breaks from staring at the screen. A handful of 20-second breaks over the course of an hour can help pre-vent CVS. In addition, change lighting in the room where you work so you can reduce glare on the computer screen.

50 EXCHANGE STREET • PORTLAND, MAINE207.761.4432

Falling for a trio of great musicalsBy Scott Andrews

As the weather cools down, southern Maine’s arts and entertainment schedule is heating up. As of early October, many of the region’s theater companies have started their 2015-2016 seasons, and a trio of great musicals opened this past weekend.

Most intriguing is “No Biz Like Show Biz,” an original musical revue that showcases Broadway’s golden age and the pair of actresses who epitomized that wonderful period: Mary Martin and Ethel Merman. Catch “No Biz” at Portland’s Good Theater.

Portland Players opened a good com-munity production of “Fiddler on the Roof,” one of the classic musicals of Broadway’s golden age. “Fiddler” is happening in South Portland.

Ogunquit Playhouse is wrapping up its 2015 season with “Saturday Night Fever,” a red-hot Broadway adaptation of the 1978 hit film that features disco music by the Bee Gees.

‘No Biz Like Show Biz’What do the following have in com-

mon: Sally Adams, Irving Berlin, Betty Comden, Ensign Nellie Forbush, Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin, Adolph Green, Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerry Herman, Tom Jones, Dolly Levi, Frank Loesser, Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Ogden Nash, Annie Oakley, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Mama Rose, Harvey Schmidt, Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styne, Reno Sweeney, Maria von Trapp, Kurt Weill and Dolly Winslow?

The answer is that they’re all present in one form or another in “No Biz Like Show Biz,” a new musical revue that opens the 2015-2016 season at Good Theater. The list above includes characters, actresses, composers and lyricists for some of the most popular Broadway shows in the pe-riod between the 1930s and 1960s.

Created by Good Theater co-founder and artistic director Brian Allen, “No Biz” recalls those golden years of Broad-way through an interesting lens. All songs in “No Biz” were performed by one (occasionally both) of the reigning doyennes of American musical theater: Mary Martin and Ethel Merman.

In effect, it’s an all-star, best-of-the-best format. For example, “My Favorite Things” was sung by the character Maria von Trapp (“The Sound of Music”) with music by Rodgers and lyric by Hammerstein. Or “I Put My Hand in Here” was sung by Dolly Levi (“Hello Dolly!”) by Jerry Herman.

Allen has collected about 40 songs from about 30 different shows. They’re sung by a trio of local professional ac-tresses: Marie Dittmer, Lynne McGhee and Jen Means. Victoria Stubbs, the longtime Good Theater music director, created numerous unique and intriguing musical arrangements, rather than try-ing to recreate specific performances. Perhaps her best effort is the medley of songs of Ensign Nellie Forbush (“South Pacific”) by Rodgers and Hammersein.

Like Allen, I’m a huge fan of classical

Broadway musicals, and I thoroughly en-joyed “No Biz.” The three actresses have fine voices and stage presences, and the songs of course represent the apex of the Broadway canon.

Good Theater presents “No Biz Like Show Biz” at the St. Lawrence Arts Cen-ter, 76 Congress St. (top of Munjoy Hill) in Portland, through Oct. 11 with 7 p.m. performances Wednesday and Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Call 885-5883.

‘Fiddler on the Roof’In the best-of-the-best category, “Fid-

dler on the Roof,” the 1964 classic Broadway musical ranks among that elite handful of shows that excel in so many different facets. With book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, “Fiddler on the Roof” has stood the test of time and remains one of the most frequently produced musicals. The original production won 10 Tony Awards and was for years the lon-gest-running show in Broadway history. “Fiddler on the Roof” has been revived four times on Broadway; a fifth revival is

slated for this December.To open its 2015-2016 season, Portland

Players is running a large and generally good community production of this clas-sic, directed by Michael Donovan and Donna Emma.

The plot follows a devout Jewish family in a village in czarist Russia in 1905. As persecution against Jews builds in the years prior to the Russian Revolution, Tevye, a poor dairyman with his wife and five daughters must contend with the changes and challenges that confront his family.

The large cast of 34 is led by Mark Dils, playing the poor dairyman, one of the most celebrated characters ever created for the American stage. Dils is outstanding in this larger-than-life role and he carries the show.

Portland Players, 420 Cottage Rd. in South Portland, presents “Fiddler on the Roof” through Oct. 11 with 7:30 p.m. performances Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Call 799-7337.

‘Saturday Night Fever’Ogunquit Playhouse is wrapping up its

long 2015 season with a recent Broadway musical that exemplifies two trends in contemporary theater. First, most new musicals are stage adaptations of popular films. Second, a high percentage of new shows are jukebox musicals.

“Saturday Night Fever” epitomizes both trends. It is a stage version of the 1978 film of the same name that starred John Travolta. The score is a compilation of songs written and/or performed by the Bee Gees, a British-Australian pop trio comprising brothers Andy, Barry and Robin Gibb. (Bee Gees is shorthand for “Brothers Gibb.”)

The plot concerns Tony Manero, a 19-year-old from Brooklyn, New York, who works in a dead-end job and hangs around with four dead-end pals. But on Saturday nights, Tony’s life totally trans-forms at the local disco, where he is king of the dance floor. Considered a shoo-in for a $500 prize offered in a disco con-test, Tony needs to choose between a pair of possible dance partners, and a classic romantic triangle results.

Luke Hamilton is mesmerizing as Tony, boasting a fine voice and exceptional dance moves. I also liked his two support-ing actresses: Haley Hannah as an aggres-sive wannabe girlfriend and Jenny Flor-kowski as his hard-to-get love interest.

Keith Andrews skilfully manages a very large and outstanding cast of 24 professional actors, who sing and dance through 18 classic Bee Gees songs such as “Stayin’ Alive,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “More Than a Woman” and “What Kind of Fool.”

I was also impressed by the large, flexible and aesthetically agile set, designed by Adam Koch. It’s an inter-esting amalgam of chain-link fence, corrugated steel and disco mirror balls that undergoes frequent transforma-tions between scenes. Lighting design, by Richard Latta, is another high point in the technical department.

Ogunquit Playhouse, a mile south of the village on Route 1, presents “Satur-day Night Fever” through Oct. 25. Call 646-5511 or visit ogunquitplayhouse.org for the performance schedule.

be a small business and you can invest in infrastructure like this,” Kleban said. “Not only is it good for the environment, but it can be good for business.”

Gideon said even if the initial invest-ment is large, the payback is even larger.

“Investing in renewable energy re-sources, and specifically solar, is simply an investment in our future,” she said.

Larson said she is very proud of what the town has accomplished so far, but she knows there is still more to be done.

“I don’t think Freeport is done with energy conservation,” she said. “There’s more work to be done.”Kate Gardner can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or kgardner@theforecaster.net. Follow her on Twitter: @

we had presented,” Hemphill said.The Council rejected the need for an

amendment, and instead agreed a meet-ing with the developers or a letter to them about the timeline concerns would be better.

Poore met with the developer, Nathan Bateman, on Monday, Sept. 21, and Poore said Bateman was “convinced he’ll have everything in time for us.”

Bateman said the company is working with the Town Council to make a few mi-

nor “tweaks” driven by a desire to make a few modifications, primarily turning a site previously intended for a hotel into 40 units of senior housing.

“We’re looking to be back in the next six months to finalize everything,” Bateman said.

Bateman said while it sounded like “a cop-out or an excuse,” the reason Tidewater wasn’t able to make the first six-month window was because of a number of other projects that needed their attention.

“It was all real things we can point to; it had nothing to do with our desire or excitement in completing last phases of Tidewater,” Bateman said. “It was unfor-tunately a situation of which wheel was squeaking the most.”

Bateman said what wasn’t seen be-hind the scenes was his legal department working on the requested documents for the town.

“The Council may not be hearing from us, but that doesn’t mean work is not being produced,” he said.

Despite the failed amendment to have all documentation in by Dec. 21, Bateman said the plan was to get the documents into town staff by the end of the year.

“Our full intention is to have every-thing done by Dec. 31,” Bateman said.

percent complete when she stopped, and she now has about 1,000 miles to go.

“It was a tough decision to go back and paddle the remaining 1,000-plus miles of the expedition route,” Walters wrote on her blog. “But when I thought about the grit and determination of the children and parents at Safe Passage, I realized I had no choice.”

While Walters has a passion for kay-aking, she also deeply cares about Gua-temalan families who have to salvage through garbage dumps to survive. She first became involved with volunteering in Guatemala through Safe Passage, a Yarmouth-based organization that helps families who forage in the dump.

After years of volunteering in the coun-try and making two to three trips a year, Walters decided to kayak her way there to help. Along the way, she has been

stopping in cities and towns on the East Coast to inspire others to help, too.

“To properly honor them, I need to push myself and paddle on, and continue to share their stories,” she said.

Walters left from Georgetown, South Carolina on Sept. 24, and is scheduled to arrive in Key West, Florida in February. She will then take a boat to Belize, where she will continue paddling to Guatemala. She is scheduled to reach her destination in April.

Walters last July said she won’t be spending as much time in Guatemala as she usually does, but she’s looking forward to working with families when she arrives. Her main goal is to build ad-ditions to schools and add more grades, so the Guatemalan children can continue their educations.

So far on her trip Walters has raised more than $400,000 for Safe Passage.Kate Gardner can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125 or kgardner@theforecaster.net. Follow her on Twitter: @

said Sept. 24.“Where the stations are located geo-

graphically, we try to get the best coverage,” he explained. “This issue arose out of more development on roads that have been sub-standard to begin with.”

In emails to Windham Town Manager Tony Plante dating back as far as March 2012, Shane had called for improvements to the private roads around the lake, since conditions had worsened to a point where he was concerned about damage to Cum-berland vehicles responding to calls. Road grading, pothole repair, installing areas to turn around on dead-end roads and brush cutting were among remedies he requested.

A November 2013 email mentioned a Cumberland truck being damaged on James Way in Windham after avoiding an oncoming truck and moving too far onto a

soft road shoulder. Plante responded that town officials would talk with property owners on the private roads in question in an attempt to address the matter.

“We will be writing a letter to residents soon seeking their cooperation in improving winter maintenance for the short term and adding appropriate turn-arounds before next winter in order to preserve our current arrangement,” Plante wrote Shane in No-vember 2013.

Windham has paid Cumberland $3,900 annually for its services, a figure that has remained the same since Shane started as manager in 2003, he said.

“The minimal fee we collect for this service pales in comparison to the potential damage that exists to our Fire, EMS and Police vehicles,” Shane wrote Plante in October 2013. “This has nothing to do with money, and entirely to do with protecting Cumberland personnel and equipment from unnecessary damage or injury because of

road conditions that worsen as additional homes are built each year in this growing neighborhood.”

There are currently 142 homes on private roads on Windham’s part of Forest Lake, with 850 acres of undeveloped land around them in Cumberland’s service area, accord-ing to a map supplied by Shane.

He expressed hope that Windham would address those issues, and that the two towns could revisit and update the agreement next year.

Town officials from both towns have met recently on the issue, and Windham is aware of Cumberland’s intended direction, Shane said. He acknowledged that Wind-ham is in “a tough spot,” and has issued a moratorium on development in that area.

Cumberland fire and EMS responds to Windham about 12 times annually, and about three times that number with police coverage, Shane said.

“We understand Cumberland’s concerns;

they have a responsibility to look out for their community’s interests first,” Plante said in an email Sept. 27. “Meanwhile, we are working with residents, property own-ers, and road associations to address those concerns. We are hopeful that the issues Cumberland has raised will be addressed, and that the towns will be able to reach an updated understanding with regard to emer-gency first response in this area.

“Addressing the issues requires the ef-forts of the residents and property owners in the area, especially with respect to physical improvements, but Windham is prepared to extend winter maintenance to the remainder of the roads around Forest Lake and to work with Cumberland on a new agree-ment,” he added, noting that Windham’s council would act on that extension at its Oct. 13 meeting at Town Hall at 7 p.m.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or alear@

project costs at a minimumMaintenance of the leachfields in the

long run “will likely be limited based on the soils present but any field that does fail can be replaced within the same footprint.”

The Water District’s well is about 1,200 feet east of the closest property boundary of the site, according to Sevee & Maher.

John Sevee, president of the firm, noted that the water table was found to be 40-60 feet below the surface, “a positive finding” because when a lot of water accumulates

in one location, the groundwater rises a little, creating a mound; if the water table is too close to the ground surface, that mound can rise into the base of the wastewater disposal system, he explained.

The firm also studied nitrate levels in surrounding wells, finding them to be 1 milligram per liter, as compared with the drinking water standard of 10, Sevee said. Natural sites in Maine with little development typically show less than half a milligram per liter, he added.

“You’re getting a fairly high level of efficient treatment of the wastewater as it migrates down through that 40-50 feet of unsaturated soil before it hits the

groundwater table,” Sevee said. “That’s a good finding, because that says that there is some intrinsic treatment within the soils” at the site.

The soil conditions, relative to the groundwater depth and level of treatment from the existing system, are “excellent,” he said.

Since there are similar wells used by the Water District adjacent to the flow of groundwater, the system must be moni-tored in order to assure that the ground-water supply will never be contaminated, Sevee noted, adding, “By having a moni-toring system in place, you can determine what the conditions are, and you have

plenty of time to react.”Monitoring through water sampling

could occur two to four times a year, according to Dan Diffin, project engineer with Sevee & Maher. The cost could range from $2,000 to $20,000 a year, depending on magnitude of the system, Sevee said.

Should the project move forward, the next step will be to present the firm’s findings to, and obtain input from, the state Environmental Protection and Health and Human Services departments, according to Diffin.
