‘Accidental’ oyster farmer plans expansionBy Alex Acquisto

SCARBOROUGH — Abi-gail Carroll would never have guessed that as a former trader in the Paris stock market, she would eventually start her own oyster farm in the waters off southern Maine.

After ending a relationship, leaving France and moving back to Maine for the sum-mer, one of Carroll’s friends wanted to start an oyster farm and Carroll agreed to help, not knowing she would adopt the career herself.

“It was really quite acciden-tal,” Carroll, a Portland native living in Biddeford, said Tues-day morning as she meandered her small motor skiff around moored lobster boats toward her lines of oyster bags.

Now in her fifth year of operation, Carroll and her small team of mostly volunteers for Nonesuch Oysters farm the mollusks in the brackish waters near the Pine Point Fisherman’s Co-op, where the incoming ocean tide meets freshwater from the Scarborough River.

The entire growth process is free-range and, while the farm is still in its nascent stages, Carroll said she’s “really excited; I think we found the solution to use less gear and let nature work its course.”

More than two years ago, Carroll applied to the Depart-ment of Marine Resources for permission to expand her site. A public hearing was held earlier this month, and she expects to receive the permit in the near future.

Scarborough candidates agree: Budget process needs fixingBy Alex Acquisto

SCARBOROUGH — Can-didates for the Town Council agreed about most issues during a public forum Wednesday night, particularly that the annual budget process has to change.

The five-person race for two available Town Council seats is the only contested election voters will find on the November ballot.

All four candidates running for the School Board and one of two candidates for the Sanitary District Board of Trustees also participated.

The event was hosted at the Municipal Building by the Scar-borough Community Chamber of Commerce and moderated by chamber past President Kevin Freeman. Questions were asked

by reporters from The Forecaster and Scarborough Leader.

Town CouncilThe two available council

seats are held by Chairwoman Jessica Holbrook and Councilor Ed Blaise, neither of whom are seeking re-election.

The five candidates are former Councilor James Benedict, of Burnham Road; current School

Board member Chris Caiazzo, of Elmwood Avenue; Robert Rowan, of Bonneygrove Drive; Liam Somers, of Holmes Road, and Michael Turek, of Bayberry Lane.

Rowan, a resident of Scarbor-ough since 2009 and the only candidate not to have previously held or run for municipal office, said he is running “because Scar-

borough needs an open perspec-tive on the Town Council. I’m not going to come in here with my mind made up.”

Benedict, a councilor from 2011-2014, unsuccessfully sought a second term last November, when Somers also ran unsuccess-fully for a vacant seat.

S.P. residents: Survey spreads misinformation about pesticidesBy Alex Acquisto

SOUTH PORTLAND — About a dozen residents have complained to city officials about pollsters who are reportedly pro-viding misleading information about the city’s proposed ban on pesticides.

City Manager Jim Gailey said the city is not responsible for the phone surveys, and city officials don’t know who is or how the calls are being funded.

According to Councilor Brad Fox, the activity is “certainly not illegal, it’s just annoying.”

City councilors last discussed a possible city-wide restriction on pesticides at a July 13 workshop, where they agreed to work with staff to craft a proposed ordinance by late November.

Gailey said at the July work-shop that most communities with pesticide restrictions use some variation of “integrated pest management programs” that rely on “prevention, monitoring and control.”

IPM principles are also referred to as “common-sense” practices, according to the U.S. Environ-

In South Portland, development helps ‘green the city’By Alex Acquisto

SOUTH PORTLAND — As the city continues to move ahead with environmen-tally sustainable initiatives above ground, Community Planner Steve Puleo is charting the progress made underground.

After establishing new regulations and encouraging best management practices and low-impact development to improve how stormwater is managed, progress is now trackable.

“We’re trying to green the city through development,” Puleo said last week.

The idea, he admits, seems counterintui-tive to sustainability.

The reason is, for the most part, South

Portland is built out, in terms of develop-ment, said Fred Dillon, who is the city’s stormwater program coordinator.

In 2009, the city upgraded its ordinance to better manage stormwater with new de-velopment and redevelopment. The move was made to remedy five impaired urban streams and filter pollutants out of storm-water before it runs through watersheds and eventually empties into Casco Bay.

“There aren’t many new green spaces and undeveloped land left in the city,” Dil-lon said Thursday morning. “Most of what happens is redevelopment.”

In most cases of redevelopment, for ex-ample, “most of the original development

happened 15, 20, 30 years ago when we didn’t have the types of stormwater man-agement systems that provide the kind of treatment required today,” he said.

“We look at every redevelopment as an opportunity to (install) these state-of-the-art systems,” Dillon added.

Puleo said it’s about initially holding back a certain amount of runoff, in order to siphon out pollutants. By slowing the speed at which stormwater filters through the system, built-in infrastructure – wetlands filtered by gravel, stormwater treatment drains, and subsurface sand filters – are able to extract and trap pollutants.

The old saying rings true, Puleo said: “The solution to pollution is dilution.”

Because, for example, an impervious sur-face like asphalt doesn’t allow stormwater to soak into the ground, the intention is to reroute the stormwater into areas where it can be filtered in a more natural process.

In a significant rainfall event like what occurred Wednesday, Sept. 30, where parts of greater Portland were flooded and pollutants were carried into the sewer systems, South Portland’s updated storm-water systems were able to slow down the flow of water in order to remove a higher percentage of wastewater –something that outdated sewer systems can’t do.

Depending on the development, filtration systems can vary considerably.

At the southern branch of the Department of Labor and Health and Human Resources building near the Portland International Jetport, stormwater is retained and filtered in a large subsurface detention area under the parking lot, Puleo said.

Conversely, behind Dick’s Sporting Goods off Gorham Road near the Maine Mall, a retention area in the parking lot is partially above ground and divided into

filtration compartments. With these stringent stormwater stan-

dards that require strict management of stormwater, redevelopment possibilities, like NGL Supply Terminal Co.’s proposal to construct a liquid petroleum gas dis-tribution facility at Rigby Rail Yard, can actually help the city accomplish that goal, Puleo said.

Rigby yard is “an area that has had a pretty dirty history over the years,” Dillon said.

The new stormwater treatment system that will be constructed if NGL’s site plan is approved by the Planning Board, Dillon said, is “definitely advantageous” in terms of improving runoff into nearby Calvary Pond.

On a smaller scale, the city’s standards have outlined ways in which residents can voluntarily treat stormwater on their prop-erty by installing rain barrels to hold rain water and building rain gardens to slow and retain runoff.

“Every Band-Aid we can put over one of those cuts that bleeds polluted stormwater into one of our streams is a good thing,” Dillon said.

In the near future, Dillon and Puleo said they hope to make a geographic informa-tion system map available to the public that charts all stormwater infrastructure installed since 2009.

It’s a constantly evolving process, Dil-lon said. The objective is not only to keep Casco Bay clean, but to eventually reverse the adverse impact on the city’s impaired streams, which he said “is a tall order.”

Of the city’s five impaired streams – Bar-berry Creek, Kimball Brook, Trout Brook, Long Creek and Red Brook – remediating the damage done to Long Creek is most feasible, Dillon said.

Dillon referenced South Portland’s logo, which includes a symbol of flowing water.

“Our job is to keep that blue water symbol from turning brown,” he said. “If you believe that global warming and sea level rise is real, becoming resilient and becoming prepared for (weather changes) in the coming decades, we have to have our infrastructre ready.”

Systems like this one slow down the filtration of stormwater in order to filter out more pollutants before the runoff enters city streams and is eventually dumped into Casco Bay.

Renovated Thomas Memorial Library expected to have new directorBy Kate Gardner

CAPE ELIZABETH — The deadline to apply for the library director position at Thomas Memorial Library is Oct. 14.

The current director, Jay Scherma, who has worked at the library for almost 20 years, in June announced he will retire by the end of January.

The plan is to have a new library di-rector in place by the end of December or the beginning of January. That would coincide with the expected completion of $4 million in library renovations, which were approved in a November 2014 ref-erendum.

“So, with some overlap with Jay and the new building opening, the timing all seems to be on track,” Town Manager Mike McGovern said in a statement pub-lished on the town website.

A committee will assist in the search for a new director. It will include one library staff member, one town de-partment head, two nominees from the library board of trustees and two town citizens.

The trustees have come up with a set of characteristics they want in the new director, including being innovative, a strong leader, and a people person, and a visionary.

In June, Scherma said the person will “have to be good at a number of social skills.”

In terms of experience and technical skills, the trustees said they want the new director to be “tech savvy and tech-nologically innovative” and to be skilled in budget development, marketing, and fundraising.

Scherma said the person needs to un-derstand the digital evolution of libraries.

“The new library director will need to have their thumb on the pulse of the evolving range of library services,” he said.

According to the job description, the library director will be responsible for planning and development at the library and must ensure it’s “effective daily operation.”

The director must also have a master’s

degree in library science.The annual salary will be $59,500-

$66,000.

Cape clergywoman blesses, and talks to, the animalsBy Kate Gardner

CAPE ELIZABETH — Once a year a local church takes its focus off people and instead holds a special ceremony for animals.

For its 10th annual Blessing of the An-imals ceremony Sunday, Oct. 4, the Cape Elizabeth United Methodist Church will be expanding the celebration to include other living things as well, such as plants. The ceremony starts at 2 p.m. at the 280 Ocean House Road church.

“This year we’ll try to focus not only on animals, but on all creatures,” the Rev. Ruth Morrison said. “I was trying to help us think beyond animals and think of all nature and all of creation.”

Morrison has led the ceremony each year since it started in 2005. She said it origi-nally began as a way to raise money for animals affected by Hurricane Katrina, but the ceremony no longer has the fundraising aspect to it.

“We do it out of love for animals,” she said. “It’s a social thing for people who love animals.”

Morrison said the ceremony always starts with songs and prayer. She then goes around individually to each of the 30 or so

animals to bless them.“I go around and kiss them on the nose

and say, ‘Stay out the road,’ and things like that,” she said.

Morrison said she also asks people ques-tions about how pets were named or where they came from.

“I try to make it conversational,” she said.

“It has to be engaging.”Since “Cape Elizabeth is a real dog

community,” Morrison said, canines are the most common pets brought to the ceremo-ny. People bring other animals as well, such as rabbits, goats, gerbils, cats and birds.

Morrison said people can bring any size and species.

“We can accommodate any kind of crea-ture,” she said. “There’s nothing we can’t handle.”

Morrison said she’s done Blessing of the Animals ceremonies at other churches where people have brought large farm ani-mals, such as horses, cows and pigs.

The ceremonies are usually held outside, Morrison said, but have been indoors as well. She said this weekend’s ceremony will be held rain or shine, and the weather shouldn’t deter people who think large animals can’t come inside the church.

“We’ve had a donkey walk right down our center aisle,” she said.

Morrison said it’s important to celebrate animals and to honor them.

“Animals are a part of God’s gift to us and they have as much right to be here as we do,” she said.

The ceremony is held each year on the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals for the Catholic church, and many Blessing of the Animals ceremonies are held on this day.

Morrison said anyone is welcome to attend the ceremony, whether they own a pet or not. She said the event is always “delightful,” especially when there’s a wide range of animals to see.

“The more animals and variety, the bet-ter,” she said. “And more festive.”

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. Fig-ures it would be well preserved, because the 1830 Babson House is one of the hundreds of Greater Portland Landmarks’ 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 Mellen Street, the Hub Furniture building on Fore Street, a pre-Revolutionary 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 Au-gust 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 at-tention 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 Station clock, which currently resides in Congress Square Pla-za, 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 cen-tury 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 apprecia-tion 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 threatens global com-merce and world peace.

OK, maybe that last part is a bit of a mas-sive exaggeration (mea culpa: I’ve been watch-ing too much GOP-TV lately, starring The Don-ald 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 situ-ations that now tips this particular risk/reward element into the red zone for me.

What was once a ritual of physical intimacy 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 in-volve gender sensitivities, age relativity, relationship boundaries, disparate lev-els 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 meeting and after a gru-eling, 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 appreci-ation for our work, followed by an en-thusiastic hug, along with the whispered 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 embarrassment 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 transitioned 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 exchanges), how can the hug-ee re-fuse a hug without causing even greater discomfort than from the hug itself?

Another challenge occurs when you

happen 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 class-mates, neighbors, colleagues of mine at work, waitresses, airline pilots – every-one gets a big hug from Katie, often as a greeting, followed by another round during goodbyes.

Which is wonderful for my wife, be-cause hugging is a natural extension of her warmth and humanity. But I’m usu-ally 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 es-

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

hugging goes well beyond social awk-wardness, 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 November-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 stop-watch for duration compliance?

It’s all too confusing.So going forward, I’m asking every-

one to please recognize and respect my request that unless you are one of my immediate family members, a direct blood relative (subcategory: 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 modified handshakes with a slight forward tilt.

But that’s it for me. I’m hug-free.

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. Luck-ily, 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 ed-

ucation and my career goals without the worry of getting pregnant when I am not ready to start a family.

Given the important role Planned Par-enthood 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 people just like me.

Panhandling is not the way Portland life should beI use the Franklin Street exit off of

Interstate 295 to get to and from work. As a result, I pass several of the busier spots for panhandling in Portland.

T h e r e i s u s u a l l y someone 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 some-one on the median of Somerset, east of Frank-lin near Whole Foods.

Most of them appear to be able-bodied, al-though I do recall one guy on crutches and a lady in a wheelchair. There’s a lot of turn-over and few regulars. Sometimes the changing happens as I am passing by. Someone walks over and takes anoth-er’s place. Usually, they exchange some words. It does not appear to be uncivil. There’s also a pile of trash accumulat-ing 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 jux-

taposition of the woman whose sign said she had just arrived in Portland 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 Por t land in tersect ions and median strips about three or four years ago. It seemed to be fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park. There seem to be more now than ever – not-

withstanding the fact that Maine’s un-employment 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 com-mittee about the issue. That July, the council voted 6-3 to reject an amend-

ment to the city code that would have banned, in the interest of safety, stand-ing, sitting or staying on a median strip.

People complained and the commit-tee revisited the matter. Twenty-one people addressed the committee at its June 2013 meeting. Of those, one opposed the amendment, two were am-bivalent, 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 protesters sued. In February 2014, a federal judge expressed skepticism about the city’s public safety ratio-nale. He ruled that the amendment 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 be-lieve 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 situation in Portland is unfortunate, be-ginning 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 prob-lem 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.

Cape, Scarborough earn gridiron wins, SP falls at homeBy Michael Hoffer

(Ed. Note: For the complete Scarborough-Sanford and South Portland-Deering game stories, with box scores and photos, see theforecaster.net)

The high school football season has reached the midway point and all three local teams would be in the playoffs if they started today.

All three still have work to do, however.

Last weekend, Cape Elizabeth stayed undefeated with a decisive 56-12 win at Freeport, Scarbor-ough won its third in a row, 37-15, over visiting Sanford, and South Portland fell to 2-2 after a 27-14 home loss to Deering.

Getting thereScarborough lost its opener, to

visiting Portland, but unlike a year ago when the Red Storm skidded to an 0-4 start before righting the ship, the 2015 edition bounced back with two straight wins and Friday night at home versus San-ford, made it three.

After throwing an interception on his very first pass, Scarborough quarterback Jack Hughes settled down and hit Connor Kelly for a 52-yard touchdown catch and run for a quick 7-0 lead. A second Hughes interception led to a tying Sanford touchdown, but Owen Garrard’s 28-yard scoring rush late in the first quarter put the Red Storm ahead to stay.

A 34-yard pass from Hughes to Kelly early in the second period

extended Scarborough’s lead, but the hosts took a safety and the Spartans added a touchdown to make things interesting. Hughes and Company settled down, how-ever, driving 80 yards to paydirt for the fourth time in the half and taking a 28-15 lead on a 26-yard pass from Hughes to Tim Carion, an advantage which lasted into the break.

The Red Storm, behind Mahlon Glidden, amped up the defense in the second half, not allowing a single point and scoring two, on a Glidden safety.

“I was just playing my game,” Glidden said. “They got tired, but I stayed out and played hard. I did what I was coached to do. I was just playing my keys. I was taught all week that if the guard pulls to get right up there on his tail and I saw the quarterback and tackled him. It felt good to score.”

That defense, combined with one final TD from the offense, a 1-yard Hughes to Jake Gardner pass, allowed Scarborough to go on to a 37-15 victory.

Hughes threw for 318 yards and three scores and the Red Storm made it three wins in a row.

“We had big stands on defense, especially in the second half,” said Hughes. “We have a lot of experience this year. Last year, we only had two or three returning guys. This year, we have almost the whole team.

“It was sloppy at the beginning,

then we put it together,” said Scar-borough coach Lance Johnson. “I’m proud of how we played. We just have to clean stuff up.”

Scarborough faces its biggest test of the year Saturday when it goes to 3-1 Thornton Academy. The Red Storm lost twice to the Golden Trojans last fall, 54-0 in the regular season and 50-20 in the playoffs.

Rest assured, Thornton Acad-emy (which was upset at Wind-ham last week) will be more than fired up for that game (it’s also the Golden Trojans’ Homecoming weekend), but Scarborough will take its chances.

“We have to watch film,” John-son said. “We’ll see what we think we have in way of matchups. They’re very good and sound in all phases of the game. We’ll play to our strengths and try to take advantage of some matchups we like.”

Valiant effortSouth Portland started 2-0, then

lost at Sanford. The Red Riots were supposed to host Deering Friday, but power issues in the vicinity of Martin Memorial Field forced the game to be moved to Saturday afternoon.

South Portland fell behind, 7-0, just 3 minutes, 30 seconds in, but a 19-yard scoring run from quarterback Matt Crockett tied the

score. The Rams dominated the rest of the half, however, and took a 27-7 lead to the break.

The Red Riots got back in the game on a 1-yard TD run from Spencer Houlette, but couldn’t draw any closer and fell, 27-14.

South Portland finished with 272 yards, but was flagged nine times for 81 yards.

Crockett completed 14 of 32 passes for 184 yards with an inter-ception. He also ran 13 times for

70 yard and a TD. Houlette scored a touchdown and had 33 yards on 10 attempts.

“We knew Deering was big and aggressive,” Red Riots coach Steve Stinson said. “Their tempo was effective at times. They’re very talented. They did enough to win. We were just a little off on a few explosive plays that could have changed the whole game. We won the second half and shut

End cold winter draftsat home!

October’s arrival means postseason’s nearBy Michael Hoffer

(Ed. Note: For the complete Cape Elizabeth-Yarmouth boys’ soccer, Cape Elizabeth-Yarmouth girls’ soccer and Cape-Elizabeth-Yarmouth and Scarbor-ough-Thornton Academy field hockey game stories, 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:Boys’ soccer

Scarborough’s boys’ soccer team blanked host Biddeford last Thursday, 6-0, then got a measure of revenge from last year’s playoff ouster with a 4-2 home victory over defending Class A cham-pion Cheverus Tuesday night. Against the Stags, all the scoring came in a wild first half. Josh Morrissey and Jake Kacer scored early and Matt Caron put the Red Storm ahead for good. Sam Jacobs scored just before halftime and Scarborough put the clamps on defensively in the second half to secure the win. The Red Storm (6-0-1 and second to Thornton Academy in the Class A South Heal Points standings at press time) hosted Portland Thursday (see theforecaster.net for game story) and go to to Westbrook Tuesday.

South Portland settled for a scoreless tie at Portland Tuesday and is now 3-2-2 and eighth in Class A South. The Red Riots hosted Westbrook Thursday, wel-come Windham Saturday and play host to Thornton Academy Tuesday.

Cape Elizabeth fell to 3-4 and 10th in Class B South after a 5-1 home loss to Yarmouth Tuesday. The Capers fell be-hind early, 2-0, got a goal on a free kick from Connor Thoreck, then surrendered three more goals in the second half.

“I think we did a lot of things we wanted to do, but we had a difficult time on set pieces,” said Capers coach Ben

Raymond. “We had some marking issues. It’s not necessarily a skill or effort thing. It’s a lack of experience thing that we’re continuing to try to work out.”

Cape Elizabeth was home with Lake Region Thursday, visits Gray-New Gloucester Saturday and plays host to Falmouth Tuesday.

Greater Portland Christian School lost, 5-0, at Buckfield last week, then improved to 5-2-1 and third in Class D South after a 7-0 home win over Chop Point Tuesday. Jeremiah Hammond had two goals and three assists. Teddy Lane and Ethan Spaulding both had two goals. The Lions visit A.R. Gould Friday, host Pine Tree Academy Monday, visit A.R. Gould Tuesday and play at Islesboro Wednesday.

Girls’ soccerCape Elizabeth’s girls’ soccer team,

the reigning Western B champion, im-proved to 5-2 and fifth in the Class B

South Heal Points standings after a 2-1 home win over Yarmouth Tuesday. Kate Breed scored twice in the first half and goalkeeper Tessa Goldstein and the Ca-pers’ defense held on for dear life down the stretch.

“A 2-0 lead is pretty scary,” said Breed. “We knew Yarmouth was a really good side. We knew we had to go into defen-sive mode.”

“I think this helps us out in Heal Points,” said Goldstein. “We’re keeping Yarmouth behind us.”

“Credit Yarmouth,” added Cape Eliz-abeth coach Craig Fannan. “They don’t give you a second. When they smell blood, they go after it. It’s hard to defend against them.”

The Capers were at Lake Region Thursday and visit Falmouth Tuesday.

Scarborough extended its win streak to five and its unbeaten streak to seven Monday with a 3-0 home victory over Biddeford. Aly Atherton, Elise O’Reilly and Jilian Ware all scored. The 6-0-1 Red Storm (ranked first in Class A South) went to Cheverus Wednesday, play at

Portland Friday and welcome Westbrook Wednesday of next week.

South Portland has already eclipsed last year’s win total. Last week, the Red Riots improved to 3-4 and 13th in the region with wins at Biddeford (2-1, in overtime) and at home over McAuley (6-3). Paige Fleming had the OT goal at the Tigers. Callie O’Brien also scored. O’Brien had two goals versus the Lions, while Mary Cronin, Victoria Nixon, Abby Richardson and Juliana Selser all had one. South Portland hosted Portland Wednesday, goes to Westbrook Friday and visits Thornton Academy Wednesday of next week.

GPCS fell to 2-7 and sixth in Class D South after a recent 5-0 loss at Buckfield. The Lions host Pine Tree Academy Mon-day and welcome Highview Christian Wednesday.

bounced back nicely from its lone loss. Last Thursday, the Red Storm went to

Scarborough senior Emma Hall takes a swing at the ball during the Red Storm’s 2-1 win at Thornton Academy last week.

Thornton Academy and eked out a 2-1 win. Lily Nygren scored early and Kris-ten Levesque added a second goal. The Golden Trojans pulled within a goal, then had a shot hit the post on a penalty cor-ner after time expired and then, and only then, could Scarborough exhale.

“It’s a great feeling to win,” said Levesque. “It was definitely nervewrack-ing. We played a great game and they did too.”

“It was definitely a heart-race,” said de-fensive standout Emma Hall. “We knew we needed to shine. We kept our sticks down and we knew we could get it out. It was a close shot. It’s awesome. It’s al-ways great to win here. It’s a really good atmosphere to play in. It’s great to walk away with a win. It’s a big confidence

booster for us.”“It’s a turning moment type of game,”

added Scarborough coach Kerry Mariel-lo. “I was expecting a game like this, no doubt. I was glad we brought the energy we brought. I’m glad we capitalized on their homefield.”

Monday, the Red Storm improved to 8-1 and first in the Class A South Heal Points standings after a 3-1 home win over Westbrook behind three goals from Nygren. After going to Biddeford Wednesday, Scarborough hosts South Portland Friday and welcomes Portland Tuesday.

South Portland’s skid hit eight after recent losses at Biddeford (4-3) and at home to Thornton Academy (7-0). So-phia Cummings, Maddie Hasson and Cierra Mullen scored against the Tigers.

The Red Riots (1-8 and 13th in Class A South) were home with Sanford Wednes-day, go to Scarborough Friday and host Noble Tuesday.

Cape Elizabeth fell to 0-12 and 12th in Class B South after recent losses at home to York (10-0), at Kennebunk (1-0) and at Yarmouth (5-1). Taylor Young had the goal against the Clippers.

“(The girls have) been awesome,” first-year Capers coach Maura Bisogni said. “We’re obviously having a rebuilding season, but the girls get better and show up to play and that’s inspiring. It’s a spe-cial group. They haven’t gotten negative or down. The seniors have been great leaders. The underclassmen have gotten playing time. It’s been fun.”

Cape Elizabeth was at Falmouth Wednesday and closes at North Yarmouth

Academy Wednesday of next week.Volleyball

Cape Elizabeth’s defending Class A state champion volleyball team is hitting its stride. The Capers blanked visiting Gorham (25-15, 25-20, 25-18), then avenged an earlier loss with a four-set (25-22, 19-25, 25-20, 25-15) win at Gree-ly Tuesday to make it six victories in a row. Against the Rams, Maggie Dadmun had 33 assists, Maddie Bowe added 10 kills and Lydia Brenneman had 15 digs. Cape Elizabeth (third in the Class A Heal points standings at press time) was home with Scarborough Thursday and goes to Thornton Academy Tuesday.

Scarborough extended its win streak to five with a 3-0 win at Cony last Thurs-day and a palpitating 3-2 (25-19, 21-25,

Cape Elizabeth has soared in the first half of the season behind a prolific offensive at-tack. Saturday, the Capers started slowly at winless Freeport, then erupted for another decisive win.

The Falcons actually led, 6-0, after one period, but Cape Elizabeth scored 29 un-answered second quarter points to seize control. Quarterback Jack O’Rourke threw touchdown passes to Matt Graham, Brett McAlister and Ben Ekedahl, then ran for

a score to make it 29-6 at halftime. An Ekedahl TD run and a long interception return for a score by Nate Ingalls made it 42-6 after three periods. Jeb Boechenstein and Alex Depke had scoring runs in the fourth quarter as the Capers put the finish-ing touches on their win.

Cape Elizabeth is home versus rival Mountain Valley (1-3) Friday. Last year, the Capers won in Rumford, 21-0.

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

wrapping 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 respect-ed 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 reaching 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 column 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 question, I told him I have two daugh-ters 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 latter was not because I remembered he was un-dergoing 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 dou-ble 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 uncharacter-istically standoffish without good reason. According to her, making friends with cus-tomers 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 hitchhike 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” Chi-nese restaurant. More pressing however,

is the need for a Jewish-style deli with decadently overstuffed 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 re-stricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have al-ways 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. Everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D sup-

plement 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 neuromus-cular 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.Increase protein

According 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

Dietary recommendations change for people age 50 and older.

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 caloriesThe 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 thirst as well, so it’s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehydrated. 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 haulAccording to the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention, eye diseases related to aging are the primary cause of vision impairment in the United States. Many people consider vision loss a nat-ural 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 vi-sion. If the macula is d a m a g e d , vision may be blurry, distorted or dark.

• Protect eyes from ultraviolet light. The American Optometric Associa-

tion notes that UV-A and UV-B radiation can have a d v e r s e effects on a person’s vision. A short-term

effect of excessive exposure to UV ra-

diation is photokeratitis, a painful con-dition that can lead to red eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Long-term effects of such exposure include a higher risk of developing cata-racts 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 American Heart Association notes that HBP can strain blood vessels in the eyes, causing them to narrow or bleed. HBP also can cause the optic nerve to swell, compromising a person’s vision as a result. Eye damage that results from HBP is cumulative, which means the longer it goes untreated, 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.

Home remedies for joint pain can provide reliefStiff, painful joints

affect a vast number of people. According to the American College of Rheumatology, ar-thritis and other rheu-matic diseases afflict roughly 23 percent of Americans, while Canadian Health Sur-veys indicate that nearly 17 percent of the Canadian adult population have arthritis. The number of people living 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 therapy. 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 alternative 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-impact exer-cises, 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 mo-bility 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 arthritis-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.

• Go for a massage. The Arthritis Founda-tion says regular massages can help reduce pain and stiffness and improve range of motion. The massage therapist should have experience working on people with arthritis. In addition, massages should be performed by licensed physical therapists and guided by a doctorÕs recommendation.

• Increase magnesium intake. Magnesium can alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

It is best ingested through dark, leafy greens but also can be taken in supplement form. Magnesium oil can be applied topically to sore joint areas.

Joint pain can impact daily life and make activities less enjoyable. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways that do not require harsh medications to loosen joints and combat pain.

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 start-ed 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 commu-nity 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 common:

Sally Adams, Irving Berlin, Betty Com-den, 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 Broadway through an interesting lens. All songs in “No Biz” were performed by one (occa-sionally 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 Hammer-stein. 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 actresses: Marie Dittmer, Lynne McGhee and Jen Means. Victoria Stubbs, the longtime Good Theater music director, created numerous unique and intriguing musi-cal arrangements, rather than trying 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 Center, 76 Congress St. (top of Munjoy Hill) in Portland, through Oct. 11 with 7 p.m. per-formances Wednesday and Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Call 885-5883.

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

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 Har-nick, “Fiddler on the Roof” has stood the test of time and remains one of the most frequently produced musicals. The origi-nal production won 10 Tony Awards and was for years the longest-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 excep-tional dance moves. I also liked his two supporting actresses: Haley Hannah as an aggressive wannabe girlfriend and Jenny Florkowski 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, flexi-ble and aesthetically agile set, designed by Adam Koch. It’s an interesting amalgam of chain-link fence, corrugated steel and disco mirror balls that undergoes frequent transformations 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 “Saturday Night Fever” through Oct. 25. Call 646-5511 or visit ogunquitplayhouse.org for the performance schedule.

Turek ran unsuccessfully last year as a School Board write-in candidate.

Caiazzo will complete his first three-year term on the School Board at the end of this year.

All the candidates said they want to prevent a repeat of this year’s acrimonious budget discussions.

“I strongly believe in a transparent form of government,” Caiazzo said. “I want to put an end to the divisive environment surrounding our town.”

The council needs to regain the trust of residents, he said: “If you improve that, you’re less likely to be polarizing. It’s transparency, it’s openness, it’s involvement in the process.”

Turek, who was an outspoken oppo-nent of the School Board’s budget this year, said he wants to see “a prosperous town that enjoys sustainable, affordable growth.”

“Rather than go through the annual bud-get angst, why can’t we through a two-year cycle like the state?,” Turek said.

“I’m not anti-education. What I am ‘anti’ is a school budget whose first proposal is a 12 percent raise and then we have to work down from that. I’m for education, but let’s be reasonable with the money.”

Somers said a way to begin to fix the problem would be to spend an adequate

amount of time on issues of substance, like the budget.

“Perception is reality, and the perception of time spent on things of lesser value is there,” he said. “I think it is absolutely crit-ical that we spend time solving issues that we have had with our budget.”

“Yet we’re spending time on issues like parking over at Higgins Beach and letting that occupy council time disproportionate-ly,” Somers continued. “I would want to make certain that our time was councilors was spent on things that really return value

to the town as a whole.”Council candidates also agreed that Scar-

borough needs more affordable housing.“Affordable housing is a problem ev-

erywhere,” Benedict said. “I think Scar-borough needs to have more affordable housing because otherwise you’re going to limit yourself with the type of people you have in town.”

Somers said affordable housing is needed for both senior citizens and younger citi-zens who can’t yet afford a down payment on a home. “It allows folks to live there

and contribute to your town in ways that they wouldn’t be able to if they didn’t live there,” he said.

Caiazzo said he thinks the public and pri-vate sectors need to partner to develop more low-income housing, and the effort to bring more housing to Scarborough needs to be a part of the town’s Comprehensive Plan.

“Quite honestly, we don’t have a lot of real estate in Scarborough that is affordable to younger workers,” Rowan said. “Afford-

mental Protection Agency, and require a management system tailored specifically to each location.

South Portland is expected to propose a restriction on most pesticide applications, with exceptions for items such as house-hold products.

Linden Thigpen, of Hillside Avenue, who was called by a pollster, said she is concerned that other residents who receive the calls would be misinformed about how a pesticide ban could affect them.

Thigpen said she heard from about a dozen friends – also included in an email chain sent to Gailey’s office – who received the same call and same line of questions. Thigpen and resident Jayne Schiff-Verre contacted Fox about the phone calls.

The first questions were basic, Schiff-

Verre said in an email. She was asked if she was aware that South Portland is exploring a ban on pesticides, if she would support that ban and at what level of government she felt the issue should be handled: local, state or by the federal Environmental Pro-tection Agency.

Thigpen said the caller also listed specif-ic household products commonly used to kill weeds, like Round-Up, and bug killers like Raid, before asking the resident if he or she used any of those products.

The caller, who told Thigpen that she was from a Colorado-based company called Net Research Today, then asked whether she knew Raid and Round-Up could be banned if a city ordinance is passed, an assertion Thigpin called “mis-leading.”

A search by The Forecaster of the Colo-rado Attorney General’s online database of regulatory agencies and business licenses

uncovered no company registered as Net Research Today.

Schiff-Verre said, “The list of pesticide used and questions about how many prod-ucts do you use can mislead the public into believing that all pesticides are going to be listed in the ordinance.”

“We need to get the word out to South Portland citizens, letting them know that there will be allowances for certain pesti-cides,” she said.

Thigpen said the caller even listed anti-bacterial soap as falling within the restrict-ed uses if the city enacts a ban.

One of the final questions, both women said, asked who they would trust on the issue: environmental experts, university professors, scientists, or a local city councilor.

“Our concern was simply to put it out there that these calls were made,” Thigpen said, adding that the way some of the ques-

tions and concepts “were lumped together” could be misleading, especially to “unin-formed citizens.”


Pesticidesfrom page 1


Several South Portland residents have reported receiving phone survey calls asking questions about a proposed ban on pesticides that is expected to come before the City Council in November. The pollsters reportedly suggest incorrectly that household pesticides like Raid will be banned if the city ordinance is approved.

able housing is the sub-market rate, but it’s also some of the more modest starter homes. We need more of both.”

On the topic of parking at Higgins Beach, all five agreed that the suggestion to reduce parking time along Bayview Avenue from one hour to 30 minutes was either unnecessary or won’t solve any problems.

Rowan said this issue is a “perfect ex-ample (of) where we’re talking past each other.”

Somers said he didn’t think it was a good

solution.“By inviting twice as many cars to come

and go, it seems counterproductive to that problem,” he said. “I don’t understand why Higgins Beach has so much issue each year with access to that neighborhood.”

The issue is enforcement, not a change in ordinance, Caiazzo said.

“If we’ve got ordinances on the books for those types of things and they’re not being enforced, changing ordinances doesn’t solve the problem, it just shifts the problem to another area,” he said.

School BoardChairwoman Donna Beeley and mem-

ber Jacquelyn Perry are seeking re-elec-tion to three-year terms on the School Board.

Kathryn Miles, of Sandy Point Road, is seekin the seat now occupied by Caiazzo. Cari Lyford is running to fill the last year of a three-year term left vacant by Jane Leng, who resigned in June.

Miles, who is a former associate profes-sor of English at Unity College, said she thinks the board and the town need “to get rid of the idea that the school budget is separate from the town budget. As a town we need very holistic thinking in terms of expenditures.”

Lyford, who has a master’s degree in education from Bennington College in Vermont and is a former elementary school teacher, said, “I really believe strongly in the power of education.”

She said one of her strong suits will be bringing “the understanding from an edu-cator’s point of view and a parent’s point of view.”

Early voting at Town Hall begins Mon-day, Oct. 5. Ballots will be available in the town clerk’s office.

in an area totaling about 4 1/2 acres near the west side of the river. If an expan-sion is permitted, Nonesuch would have access to about seven acres along the western shore. In that additional acreage, Carroll would be able to do more ground seeding in deeper waters.

The goal, she said, is to have several long lines of oyster bags, rather than shorter, fragmented lines, which she now uses.

Carroll cultivates American Crassostrea virginica oysters and European Ostrea edulis oysters.

Most oyster farms in Maine harvest virginicas, Carroll said as she pulled two out of a submerged bag and held them in her hands; but remarkably, they can look and taste very differently, depending on the habitat.

Carroll uses the French word “terroir” to describe the direct relationship between how the environment affects the character of the item being cultivated. The term is used most often to describe the nuanced environmental distinctions between wine grapes, but it’s perfectly applicable to oysters, too, she said.

“An oyster is absolutely a product of its environment,” Carroll said, holding two oysters very different in appearance: one

was smaller and white, and the other, larg-er and green. Both are virginicas, she said, but one had been pulled from a buoyant bag and the other from the ocean floor, a couple feet deeper.

Carroll likes to start her oysters in bags, where they spend the first years of their lives.

Near the end of their growing process, Carroll drops those oysters a couple feet lower, to the ocean floor. This exposes them to different environmental influenc-es, and ultimately creates a blend of taste

and appearance that varies from oyster to oyster, making them “more beautiful and robust,” she said.

During tours she gives on her boat during the warmer months, Carroll asks her customers what they think the terroir is in a specific area.

“We’re so close to the mouth of the ocean, you’ve got a lot of salt water at high tide,” she said. At low tide, the vol-ume of fresh water and salt water shifts and the oysters are exposed to different vegetation with the reverse flow of water,

like decomposing sea grass, and increased levels of sediment.

“I’ve had people tell me my oysters are the sweetest they’ve ever had, and I’ve had others tell me my oysters are the briniest they’ve ever had,” Carroll said.

“What I’ve learned about marine wa-tershed ecology is that oysters are this amazing example of how susceptible ma-rine creatures are to even a small change in their environments,” she said. “That just shows you how important this idea of terroir is to this industry.”

The role of oyster farmer is differ-ent than a land farmer, in that Carroll doesn’t directly feed the product she’s cultivating.

“We just want to create the water flow,” she said, so the oysters are able to ingest the water and plankton. “Nature works really well when you let it.”

Typically, oysters are harvested when they get to be between 2½ and 3 inches in diameter. Oysters grown in Maine tend to grow about an inch a year, Carroll said, “but I think we can do better than that.”

The best harvest year since Nonesuch was founded in 2010 yielded about 100,000 oysters, Carroll said.

Consumers can find Nonesuch oysters in several Portland locations, including Eventide Oyster Co., Fore Street, Petite Jacqueline and Harbor Fish Market. Other southern Maine locations including Bay-ley’s Seafood and Ken’s Place in Scarbor-ough, and Earth in Kennebunk.

Nonesuch also sells to Clio’s Restau-rant and B&G Oyster Bar in Boston, and Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York City.

Carroll and her team didn’t cultivate any oysters this summer. Instead, they just conducted research that will eventually fill a handbook.

“We’re just setting up for the future,” she said. They began harvesting in mid-September and will continue until the waters become impassable due to winter ice.

In a 2013 TEDxYouth talk that Carroll gave in Biddeford, she said, “I never wanted to be an oyster lady, and I never thought I’d come back to Maine. But it’s ironic: by becoming an oyster lady, I’ve found a renewed sense of purpose.”
