Bagel shop, others see growing appealBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Sand-wiched between the heights of Munjoy Hill and poten-tially lofty towers of the pro-posed Midtown development in Bayside, the East Bayside neighborhood is seeing a small but steady influx of new residents and businesses.

One of the newest is Union Bagel Co., which is now preparing to open its doors at 147 Cumberland Ave. early next month.

Bagel-makers Paul Far-rell and Toby Alves are renovating the 500-square-foot space, formerly the site of Katie Made Bakery. Farrell launched Union Bagel last year at the Public Market House in Monument Square, but the demands of the shoestring business forced him to put it on hold last fall.

He said he’s now excited

Hoppy days: Maine Beer Co. moves to Freeport

WILL GRAFF / THE FORECASTER

Jeremy Buck pours a 5-ounce Lunch – a West Coast-style India pale ale – on Friday, April 18, at Maine

Beer Co.’s new tasting room and brewery on Route 1 in Freeport. The tasting room offers the all of the brewery’s

regular beers, plus two rotating specialty beers.

By Will GraffFREEPORT — Maine Beer Co.,

owned and operated by brothers Dave and Daniel Kleban, quietly opened April 12 and is now serving a full lineup of beers at its new brewery tap room.

Colleen Croteau, marketing and logistics director, said the company, formerly based in an industrial park off Riverside Street in Portland, didn’t advertise the opening. But it has had a steady stream of beer drinkers lining up for Peeper, Zoe, MO and other Maine Beer favorites since the doors opened.

“There’s no grand opening at this point, we’re pretty much just open,”

Croteau said at the brewery, which was built where the old Dutch Village Motel previously stood on Route 1, near Exit 20 of Interstate 295. “We honestly weren’t sure if anybody would show up when we put the open flag up. So far, we’ve had a good response.”

Besides the company’s retail beers, the tasting room, which overlooks the brewery, will offer two rotating pilot beers, currently an American pale ale and a saison, that can only be found at the brewery.

“It’s a treat for people who come up to visit us,” Croteau said. “We’re curi-ous to see what the tasting room does for the brewery.”

Maine Beer Co.’s mostly hoppy, American-style beers are served in 5- and 10-ounce glasses, for $2.50 and $5, respectively. Beer drinkers who want to try a range of beers can buy a flight of four, 5-ounce pours for $10.

Corteau said the tasting room is more of a community room, not a bar, with board games and a kid-friendly area. The company also hopes to host small community events and possibly become the finish line for road races, she said.

The brewery will not host formal tours, but may plan specific event tours

Council OKs new zoning for Bayside towersBy William Hall

PORTLAND — The City Council on Monday unanimously approved zoning changes that will allow plans for a complex of high-rise apartment towers, parking garages and retail shops to move forward.

The “Midtown” project, being proposed by Miami-based Feder-ated Cos., would construct four 165-foot towers and two parking garages on 3.25 acres of former scrap yards on Somerset Street in Bayside.

But the height of the towers required the zoning regulations to be changed. The old rules limited buildings to 125 feet in most of the area, and to 105 feet where a tower is now planned in the project’s $38 million first phase.

The project calls for creating 675 market-rate apartments, a total of 1,100 parking spaces and more than 90,000 square feet of retail space in a blighted part of the city that has long been eyed

Unsung Hero: Jim Mardin, keeping Maine’s military history aliveBy David Treadwell

SOUTH PORTLAND — “June 13, 1944: France. Spent the early morning hours be-side vehicles. Many German planes flying around the sky was red with tracers.”

Portland resident Jim Mardin was 22 years old when he wrote those words in his log. He and other members of the advanced guard of the 460th Anti-Aircraft Battalion had landed on Omaha Beach on June 12, 1944, six days after the initial D-Day inva-sion.

Six weeks later, on July 28, he wrote:“Left Balleroy, France for Cerisy-la-

Foret, France. At this time, the break-through was being made. We arrived at the new area in an apple orchard and had to dig in the CP tent. This area was covered with foxholes. Had no time to dig a foxhole of

own and there were no foxholes in the vi-cinity. Just after dusk the action began. First we could see flares being dropped close overhead but did not move until the scream of falling bombs could be heard. Dived for a truck. For the rest of the entire night the sky was filled with German planes mak-ing the trek back to the beaches or trying to blast the infantry out of their foxholes. Slept on top of the ground but was ready to dive for the truck if the flak began bursting

‘Events center’ latest proposal for Congress Square PlazaBy William Hall

PORTLAND — After several attempts to determine the space’s fate – and as renova-tions continue on the neighboring Eastland Park Hotel – a City Council committee is scheduled again Wednesday to take up the future of Congress Square Plaza.

The plaza was to be the sole item on the agenda for the council’s Housing and Com-munity Development Committee, according to a previous committee memo.

The hotel’s owners, RockBridge Capital LLC and New Castle Hotels & Resorts, had been hoping to acquire some of the plaza space from the city for a ballroom and event facility. The construction is part of a $40 million renovation of the historic, 86-year-old hotel at 157 High St., which is scheduled to be complete in December and then become part of the Westin hotel chain.

Acquisition of the space has hinged on approval of a design that includes the rest of the plaza. But since last summer, there hasn’t been a plan.

RockBridge and New Castle, which together purchased the Eastland in 2011, had originally hoped to build a 500-person ballroom in the open space at Congress

and High streets. But that plan was met by opposition from neighbors and advocates for the homeless, who wanted the city to improve the space, but retain it as a park.

With the help of a task force appointed by the City Council, the owners went back to the drawing board and presented a second, more modest plan. But last August, that proposal, too, was rejected.

Now a third option is ready to be un-veiled, which calls for making the plaza an “events center.” It’s not clear what that means, and both the city and the developers have refused to say more.

Amid the uncertainty over the plaza’s design, work is progressing rapidly on the makeover of the Eastland Park.

While the 12-story building looks basi-cally the same on the outside, the interior has been completely gutted. Construction crews have already carried off nearly 800 dumpster loads of debris from the work site, according to Bruce Wennerstrom of New Castle. Nothing has been spared, ex-cept some historic windows, the ballroom’s elegant staircase and the massive boilers in the basement.

Bruce Wennerstrom,

general manager of the new

Westin Portland Harborview

Hotel, stands in what will be the hotel’s new and

expanded rooftop bar, which will still

be known as the Top of the East.

The Eastland Park Hotel in Portland

is being gutted and will reopen

in December as a Westin property.

Civic Center, Pirates reach ‘only deal to be made’By William Hall

PORTLAND — It wasn’t a power play, but both the Cumberland County Civic Center and its anchor tenant, the Portland Pirates professional hockey team, “lit the light” when they struck a leasing deal last week.

After more than 20 meetings, the Civic Center and the Pirates announced April 17 that an agreement on the lease had been

reached. It calls for the team to play at the arena for another five years, with the poten-tial of a five-year extension.

For months, the parties have struggled to agree.

Officials for the Civic Center, in the midst of a $33 million renovation, have said that the Pirates’ post-season play will delay this month’s planned start of the massive, second phase of the project until June. As

a result, the renovation probably won’t be finished until January.

The Pirates have complained that the team should get a percentage of revenue from concession sales, and that uncertainty over the lease has prevented the team from marketing tickets for the 2013-2014 season.

But with the essential terms of the lease now in place, both the Civic Center and the Pirates are ready to move forward, said

Neal Pratt, chairman of the Civic Center board of trustees.

“It took a long time to find common ground,” Pratt said Monday, “but I think both sides are pleased. This was the only deal to be made ... both sides had gone as far as they could go.”

Anti-hunger film to screen in Portland

PORTLAND — Preble Street’s Maine Hunger Initiative is hosting the Portland premiere of “A Place at the Table,” a documentary film on food insecurity, on Tuesday, April 30, at 7 p.m., at Nickel-odeon Cinemas, 1 Temple St.

An official selection of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, “A Place at the Table” tells the real-life stories of three people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from. It’s estimated that 50 million Americans are food-insecure.

The film also includes commentary by experts on hunger, and from two celebri-ties – Tom Colicchio, of the TV reality show “Top Chef,” and Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges.

Following the screening, local anti-hunger leaders will lead a panel dis-cussion exploring possible solutions to hunger in Maine.

More information and ticket reserva-

tions are available through Preble Street’s website, preblestreet.org.

Summer program seeks entrepreneurial kidsBy Amber Cronin

PORTLAND — Three years ago, Kate Gooding had kids around the state selling lemonade for a day as a way to teach them how to run a business.

But she found the program too limiting.So last year, the former marketing ex-

ecutive from Falmouth transformed the lemonade stand program into one where entrepreneurial Maine students could com-plete a four-part training module in busi-ness planning, marketing, budgeting and business operations, and later pitch their business to a local business leader.

“The (lemonade program) was so restric-tive, so the board and I, and some partners

at (the University of Southern Maine) and 4-H, decided to create a curriculum that would better serve Maine children,” Good-ing said.

The new program, called Build-a-Biz, provides students ages 5-8 and 9-15 with the tools and resources necessary to create and pitch a business.

Gooding, who is director of the program, said the type of business pitched doesn’t matter, as long as kids are gaining the ex-perience of developing their own business plans and executing those plans during their summer vacations.

“I cannot tell you the number of great ideas that these kids are discussing with

me,” she said. “I have a 10-year-old who wants to develop a software application for phones. Another little boy built an online origami business to raise money to buy a plane ticket for his younger sister to come home from Ethiopia.”

She said one of the major goals of the program is to keep the kids who become involved in the program in Maine after they graduate from high school, so that the state’s business base can expand.

As a part of the program, which Gooding

calls “a ‘Shark Tank’ for kids,” students have the opportunity to enter into the Pitch ME! Contest, where they will compete for the chance to pitch their businesses to entrepreneur Robert Baldacci on CTN Channel 5.

The top three entries will appear on tele-vision on May 7 and the winner will receive a $1,000 college scholarship. Entry forms are available on the Build-a-Biz website

Former chamber executive takes top job at HabitatBy William Hall

PORTLAND — Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland has named Godfrey Wood, former chief executive officer of the Portland Regional Chamber, as execu-tive director.

Wood, a Falmouth resident who retired from the chamber last December after a 15-year tenure, will begin his new role April 29, according to an April 17 press release. He replaces Amy Dowler, who

was serving as interim executive director.Habitat for Humanity is an interna-

tional volunteer organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and providing affordable home ownership. The group’s Greater Portland affiliate, founded in 1985, is one of 10 in Maine and has built more than 55 homes for families in need.

“Habitat is an organization I have long admired, and I look forward to working with a great staff and board of directors to continue to grow our capacities to help more families,” said Wood, who is

For Boston, a love mash-upShall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more splendid and yet more gritty.White snows will blanket

the budding trees along the Charles,

And fall’s leaves will swirl down thine cobble-stoned streets.

Sometime too congested the thoroughfares become,

And a nickname is be-stowed in honor of your drivers’ temperament;

And every rivalry is a rivalry with your sportsmen,

By defeat, or repeated glory years, undaunted;

But thy eternal spirit shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of those hearts thou own’st,Nor shall evil proclaim victory o’er your goodness,When in the books of History thou art recorded.So long as we can love, or loyalty can lie,So long lives Boston, and Boston gives strength to all.

You have touched us more profoundly than we thought even you could have touched us – our heart was full when we watched there that day, and then days.

You opened your streets to us in the presence of un-known enemies. You inspired our courage with resolve; our cup overflows.

It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant that our faith could be restored in each other ... and we all knew it.

You’re headstrong, tough, and a little in-your-face. Your people don’t say “r,” your subway is called “The T,” and your “C’s” are a little old. But even when you’re at your worst, we stick around in the hopes we’ll deserve you at your best.

On-street parking is a luxury. Not a necessity.We are nothing special; just common people with com-

mon thoughts, and we’ve led common lives. There will be no monuments dedicated to us and our names will one day be forgotten. But in one respect we have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived; we’ve learned from you that we have the power to triumph through bravery and compassion; and for us, this will prove to have been enough.

In vain the cowards have acted. It will not do. Our feel-

ings will not be repressed. You must allow us to tell you how ardently we admire and support you.

We did not go looking for this opportunity, but we repeat to you our vow of eternal seasons tickets and everlasting parking lot tailgating.

You are our North End, our South End, our Beacon Hill, our Fenway Park,

Our weekly commute and our Sunday brunch.Doubt thou that the Big Dig is complete; Doubt that the

Patriots will rebuild; Doubt Affleck to find a new location; But never doubt that we will run again.

You’re simply the best, better than all rest.Modified with appreciation and respect from: Shake-

speare’s Sonnet 18; Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s letter to her future husband, fellow poet Robert Browning; Psalm 23:5; “Sleepless in Seattle”; Marilyn Monroe; Cher; “The Notebook,” by Nicholas Sparks; “Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen; “Love in The Time of Cholera,” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; “Stop All The Clocks,” by W.H.

Terror in Boston, and the price of preventionAs Boston recovers from the brutal attack on the mara-

thon and the city begins to regain its equilibrium , the eyes of the nation and the attention of Congress will soon turn away from the incident itself and pivot to the so-called “root causes” of terror.

We’ll stop seeing the now familiar, grainy footage of the brothers Tsarnaev tot-ing their backpacks down Boylston Street, and we’ll spend more of our time won-dering what could have been done that wasn’t in our quest to prevent this kind of trag-edy from occurring again.

During this next phase we will learn the extent to which the suspects assimilated (or didn’t assimilate) into the local community, the extent to which they had (or hadn’t) any friends, the extent to which they turned (or didn’t turn) to radical Islam for in-spiration, the extent to which they planned (or didn’t plan) this attack for months, and so on.

We will learn that someone’s father didn’t love him, someone’s childhood was a disaster, someone’s ethnicity was his destiny, and on and on.

Then we will consider the weapons used to perpetrate this atrocity and wonder whether there’s something that can be done to limit access or provide notification. But then we will acknowledge the relentless creativity of the ruthlessly malevolent. We have, after all, witnessed murders involving

an impressive array of instruments, ranging from aircraft, fertilizer and automatic weapons to anthrax, explosives and, now, pressure cookers.

So we move on.Some will wonder aloud whether we should change our

immigration policies to keep immigrants out, or perhaps just the ones from certain regions, or perhaps just those who practice certain religions.

But we know, really, that there aren’t any actions we can take to protect ourselves fully against all threats. The most restrictive immigration policies imaginable could not have protected us from the perpetrators of Oklahoma City, Aurora, Newtown, and Columbine. All were home-grown.

Nor can we regulate every item that is capable of be-ing maliciously deployed, any more than we can be so vigilant as to anticipate the angry rampage of a neighbor who doesn’t say hello and sticks to himself, or who, for that matter, joins the wrestling team or competes in the Golden Gloves.

In the end, what the Boston tragedy teaches us is that the only way to identify threats and take preemptive action is to deploy technologies that require us to sacrifice our privacy. How much of our privacy are we willing to compromise, and whom are we willing to trust with our most personal information?

It is stunning to realize how quickly investigators were able to identify the suspects in the Boston bombings. Security tapes led to still photographs which led to posi-tive identification, which led to apartments, automobiles, computers, social media accounts, personality profiles, travel itineraries, family members, financial transactions and much more that will come to light in the coming days. Finally, infrared photography deployed from a surveillance

helicopter confirmed the presence of one suspect as he hid in a boat on private property in suburban Boston.

Even as we applaud the virtuoso performance of law enforcement, important issues are raised by the ubiquity and accessibility of so much personal data. It may be, as some say, that if you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear.

By the same token, it is now clear that every purchase, ev-ery phone call, every text message, every website, every toll booth, every tax bill, every neighbor, every interaction cre-ates a profile and a path and tells a story that can be used to identify a person – almost any person – in any community.

In the interest of security, such information will surely be more widely available to law enforcement officials, and we will have to hope and trust that they act upon it for the com-mon good and according to standards that preserve and pro-tect the rights of individuals from unreasonable intrusion.

If access to this information and action based upon it could have saved the lives of three innocents in Boston and spared hundreds the agony of their wounds, most of us – myself included – would happily hand it over.

Still, as our experience dealing with terrorism and its aftermath mounts, the question raised by the Boston bomb-ings is not so much, “What can we do to prevent future attacks? “

The question is, “Are we willing to accept what we know can be done?”

About that well-regulated militia …Now that the U.S. Senate has made sure there

is no chance that Americans will ever get the gun controls we want and need, I’m sure the victorious gunslingers of America won’t mind a little look back at what the Second Amendment was originally all about.

A good buddy – an Army veteran, not a liberal, but definitely a strict constructionist – likes to say, “The Second Amendment only guarantees you the right to keep and bear a musket.”

While gun rights ad-vocates whine about re-strictions on their right to bear arms, there has actually been a massive expansion of Second Amendment rights to cover thousands of firearms unforeseen by the drafters of the Constitution. I find it curious that Second Amendment advocates tend to ignore the actual language of the amendment:

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

The Second Amendment is the only one of the Bill of Rights amendments to provide its own ra-tionale. Our right to bear arms is predicated on the need for a well-regulated state militia. The amend-ment only prohibits the federal government from infringing on the right to bear arms, not the states. And it was passed not to protect private gun owner-ship, but to prevent the federal government from disarming state militias.

So tell me about this well-regulated militia of ours.

I know about the Second Maine Militia, that band of contemporary dissidents led by novelist Carolyn Chute and her husband, who does, in fact, keep and bear a musket. Beyond this fanciful turkey shoot, however, what was the First Maine Militia? Gun rights advocates like to argue that “militia” meant all citizens. Well, not quite.

About 50 pages of the 1,000-plus page Laws of the State of Maine (1821-1834) were devoted to well regulating that militia. And there we read that Maine at statehood adopted the 1792 federal military law such “That each and every free able-bodied, white male citizen of the respective States,

resident therein, who is or shall be of the age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the Militia, by the Captain or commanding officer of the company, within whose bounds such citizen shall reside and that within twelve months after the passing of this act.”

Every militiaman was required by law to provide his own musket or firelock or “a good rifle, knap-sack, shot pouch, and powder horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, ac-coutered and provided, when called out to exercise, or into service.”

Talk about an infringement on personal liberty. The militia wasn’t some voluntary association of aggrieved patriots, it was compulsory government service. Imagine the protests today if all those folks complaining about losing their Second Amendment rights were told they had to show up to drill every month.

The 21st century is witnessing a perversion of liberty by individuals who seem to get everything backwards. Militias were supposed to defend the government. Now they threaten it. The so-called tea party is filled with “patriots” who aren’t. They don’t complain about taxation without representa-tion, they just complain about taxation. They are represented by a popularly elected government, but because they are in the minority they have come to define majority rule as a form of tyranny.

Freedom isn’t free. It requires sacrifice. America will be a lot better off when people stop fuss-ing about their mythical rights and start behaving like responsible citizens. Stricter gun control laws would not, in and of themselves, end the epidemic of gun violence in America, but neither would they in any way infringe on anyone’s Second Amend-ment rights.

Never have so many Americans been so free. The original constitutional freedoms only extended to white, male land owners. Now women, African-Americans, Native Americans, and gay and lesbian Americans enjoy some of the rights once reserved for the white bulls. We have a black president and the next president may very well be a woman. That’s progress.

The largest minority in America not granted equal protection are children. If first graders could vote, you can be damn sure we would have had universal background checks years ago.

Freelance journalist Edgar Allen Beem lives in Yarmouth. The Universal Notebook is his personal, weekly look at the world around him.

World is flatter than Delogu believes

If Orlando Delogu is a policy wonk he should know and have read Thomas L. Friedman’s wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent book, “The World is Flat,” published in 2005. Friedman, hardly in anyone’s view a right-wing con-servative, would perhaps agree with some of the assertions Delogu makes in his April 8 column, “Contrary to right-wing opinion, the world is not flat,” but he also wrote a 469-page book advancing his theory that the world has flattened three times: the first in 1492 with Columbus, which Friedman describes as “Globalization 1.0,” the second, “Globalization 2.0,” lasted

from 1800 to 2000, when we entered “Globalization 3.0.” Each time Friedman asserts, the world was made smaller and flatter.

Friedman also asserts that “Globalization 3.0,” “because it is flattening and shrinking the world, will be driven, not only by individuals, but also by a much more diverse

– non-western, non-white – group of individuals.” It seems to this old conservative that ideas and not ideol-ogy should drive policy discussion. We can get all the left- or right-wing ideology we can stand every day. All that does is add to the paucity of

ideas that Maine and the country needs as the world does indeed grow flatter and flatter, and as a result we become less competitive, and poorer to boot.

Erica Lynn Jordan of Westbrook was born fullterm at a healthy birth weight. At two daysold, doctors discovered she had TricuspidAtresia, which means she was missing aTricuspid Valve and most of her right ventricle.At five weeks, a shunt was inserted to helpwith her heart’s blood flow. At eleven weeks,she suffered cardiac arrest and a slightstroke. Doctors believed the shunt had closedso a new one was placed on the other side.At two years old, she underwent a FontanProcedure. In this open heart surgery, thelarge vein from the lower half of the body(the inferior vena cava) as well as the veinsfrom the liver are connected to the lungarteries. She was not able to get off of theventilator so four days later they removedsome of the repairs. At four years old, theFontan procedure was attempted and wassuccessful until a year or two later whenshe started having Pulmonary Hemoptysis(coughing up blood). Capillaries hadattached to her lungs and were bleeding into them. This happened every three or four months, even aftersome repairs, but eventually stopped when she was 11. Now at age 25, she has started to experience a rapidheartbeat so she has an ablation procedure to correct that problem. She is told her heart is looking strong!

“Without your support, the procedures that helped keep my heart going would nothave existed. More research is still needed so that others living with heart defectsdo not have to suffer like I did. Please join me in raising funds at the Heart Walk!”

Ellen P. McKenney, 66: Possessed extraordinary couragePORTLAND — Ellen P. McKenney,

66, of Portland, died peacefully April 17, 11 years after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

McKenney was born July 24, 1946,

in Washington, D.C. She was raised in Portland, the eldest of John and Cath-erine Lee’s nine children. She attended Portland schools and worked in early childhood development at East End Chil-

dren’s Workshop for over 28 years until her illness forced her to retire.

She loved hosting family gatherings, walking Baxter Boulevard, fishing and especially enjoyed her trip to Italy shortly before her illness. Above all, her passion was children, from helping her parents with her eight younger brothers and sis-ters to raising her three sons and spend-ing time with her three grandkids, along with teaching the countless numbers of kids who she had in class.

McKenney was an extraordinary woman who will be deeply missed. Her courage and character amazed anyone who had the opportunity to meet her.

The family would like to thank the en-tire staff at Saint Joseph’s Rehabilitation and Residence for the care and compassion they showed Ellen for over ten years.

McKenney was predeceased by her parents, John J. and Catherine Lee and her two brothers Roc-co and Dennis. She is survived by her children Michael, of Portland; Joseph and his wife Christine, of Gorham; Scott, of Virginia and her grandchildren Matthew, Adam and Ella. She is also survived by her sisters, An-drea Lee of Portland,; Kathleen Horton, of Alabama; Donna Lee, of South Port-land; and Cynthia Berenson of Portland; her brothers John Lee, of the Philippines, Michael Lee, of Florida and a number of nieces, nephews and cousins.

A memorial service was held Saturday at A.T. Hutchins Funeral and Cremation Services, in Portland, with interment at Calvary Cemetery in South Portland.

John A. Waterhouse, 78PORTLAND — John A. Waterhouse,

78, of Portland, died Monday, April 15.He was born in Scarborough, Nov. 12,

1934, to the late George and Alice New-comb Waterhouse. He attended Scarbor-ough schools, and lived his younger years in Scarborough.

Waterhouse was a Portland resident for more than 50 years. He worked for the Portland Public Works Department for 26 years and re-tired in 1994. He en-joyed spending time with his many friends and family. He was a loving soul who would help any in need and was at his happiest spending time with his fam-ily, during the holidays, barbecues and reunions and could keep you talking all day. Known to many as “Long John,” he loved western movies, especially John Wayne.

He is predeceased by his infant daugh-ter, Lori Waterhouse; brothers, Cecil, Erland, Robert, Roy, Warren and Wilber Waterhouse; and sisters Dorothy Tapley, Ethel Cram, Florence and Mildred Wa-terhouse.

He is survived by a sister, Hazel Ta-pley, of Buxton; two sons, Robert Wa-terhouse, of Milford, Conn., and James Waterhouse, and his wife, Laura, of New Gloucester; six grandchildren, Bethany Waterhouse-Bradley, and husband, Mi-chael, of Ireland; Ann-Marie Waterhouse, of Kittery; Timothy Waterhouse, Saman-tha Waterhouse, and Tyler Waterhouse, all of New Gloucester, and Danielle Waterhouse-Martin, of Lewiston; four great-grandchildren, Jack and Connor Martin, of Lewiston, and Milo and Astrid Bradley, of Ireland, along with a wonder-ful family of nieces, nephews and friends.

A funeral was held April 19 at A.T. Hutchins Funeral and Cremation Servic-es, in Portland followed by interment at Forest City Cemetery in South Portland.

Memorable baseball season in storeBy Michael Hoffer

It promises to be another suc-cessful season for city baseball teams.

Leading the charge for the third year in a row is Cheverus, which made a run at defending its 2011 title last spring, but ultimately fell two wins shy, losing to Scarbor-ough in an epic regional final, 7-5, on a walkoff home run, to finish 14-5. The Stags, whose 32 com-bined wins over the past two years is easily a program best since the state tournament began in 1970, then were hit hard by graduation, with the most notable departures being 2012 Spring Male Ath-lete of the Year Louie DiStasio (now playing at the University of Rhode Island), Tyler Flaherty (Lasell College) and Harry Ridge (Bowdoin). Between DiStasio and Ridge alone, 75 of last year’s 113 regular season innings pitched have departed. Clearly there are holes to fill, but weep not for the Stags. While they might not have the big-name stars of the past couple seasons, there are some great athletes on the roster and plenty of depth.

This year, the pitching staff will be led by junior Mitchell Powers (a 1.56 earned run average last season). The depth comes from juniors Brad Carney, Brady Mur-ray and Nate Smith (2.80 ERA), who all saw key innings last sum-mer during the American Legion season (where the Cheverus team finished second in the Northeast Region). The wild card is senior Ryan Casale, a first-team league all-star and All-Rookie team se-lection, who went 3-1 with a 2.04 ERA in 24 innings in 2012. He’s currently recovering from injury and is limited to a designated hit-ter role. If he can see some time on the mound later in the year, look out. Offensively, Cheverus will rely on Casale (.327 batting average in 2012), junior Chris Tinsman, the catcher, a Division I prospect, who had eight extra base hits and nine RBI last season (he might be due for a breakout campaign), senior first baseman Drew Ferrick, (seven RBI last season), junior shortstop Felix Del Vecchio and Powers (five RBI), an outfielder when he’s not on the hill, to come through.

Also figuring into the mix will be seniors Andrew Cloutier, Jake Michaud, Tyler Small and football quarterback and hockey all-star Liam Fitzpatrick, and juniors Will Hilton, Ethan Jor-dan and Charlie Mull, the soc-cer goalie and a solid athlete.

The Stags (who opened with a 3-0 win over Bonny Eagle, as Powers threw a four-hitter with 11 Ks and Fitzpatrick had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run) will look to stay close with their pitching, be aggressive on the basepaths and hopefully develop some sock at the plate. In a league without a clear favorite, Cheverus will be right near the top again.

“It’s a new chapter,” said fifth-year coach Mac McKew (52-22 overall record). “We have holes to fill, but we have good athletes. We need to develop pitching depth. We’ve been spoiled with that. I think the league’s very balanced and competitive. We could finish anywhere from first to eighth. We have two years of winning tradi-tion. We’ll face tougher pitchers because of it.”

The team generating the most preseason buzz was Portland, which finished 5-11 last spring, missing the playoffs in the pro-cess. A young core has grown up and after a frustrating 2012 campaign (which featured just 52 runs in 16 games, three one-run losses and two more by two runs), they feel they can compete with anyone.

The news is very promising on the mound as virtually every play-

er who pitched a year ago is back. Leading the way is senior Nate Smart, who had a 4-3 record with a 2.61 earned run average and 48 strikeouts in 48.1 innings in 2012. He’s joined by senior Caleb Fraser (a strikeout per inning last spring) and juniors Ryan Dixon (3.30 ERA) and Nick DiPalma. Fraser is also a top hitter. He led the team in RBI last season with 10. Sophomore Ryan Ruhlin will be behind the plate. The infield is seasoned and features senior Kyle Reichert (.313 average, a team-high 15 hits and second with nine RBI last season) at first,

junior Evan Gallant (only three errors on 39 chances in 2012) at second, senior Nick Volger (.273, six steals last year) at shortstop and All-Defensive team member senior Mike Scala (four errors on 32 chances) at third. The outfield features the likes of junior Travis Godbout (an All-Rookie team pick last year), who was the Bull-dogs’ top hitter among regulars in 2012 (batting .400 and driving in six runs), senior Tim Rovnak (.289, 13 hits, a team-high seven steals) and junior Joey Apon.

City softball teams seek improvementBy Michael Hoffer

After falling short of the play-offs a year ago, all four local soft-ball teams are looking to move up the ladder this spring.

Cheverus went 5-11 in 2012 and could be on the brink of re-turning to being one of the top contenders in Western Class A, as it was between 2008-10. The Stags were underclassmen-laden in 2012 and should benefit this spring from last year’s learning curve.

Cheverus has the luxury of turn-ing to two strong pitchers. Junior

Brittany Bell, who had a 2.27 ERA in 2012, along with senior Izzi Grasso, whose effectiveness was limited last spring due to ill-ness and injury, make for a strong 1-2 punch. Senior Maeve Bell could see some innings as well. The offense will miss Fall Female Athlete of the Year Staci Swallow (now playing lacrosse after hit-ting .396 last season) and Mollie Thibodeau (who left Cheverus for Cape Elizabeth after batting .333 in 2012). Brittany Bell will help generate runs. She was an SMAA

Track stars set to take center stageBy Michael Hoffer

Local runners, jumpers and throwers are gear-ing up for a great 2013 season.

Cheverus’ boys were runners-up at the Class A meet last season and cover the events nicely this year.

The Stags have some top-end talent in seniors Matt Cushing (the reigning Class A champion in the javelin), Jackson McMann (part of a state champion 800 relay team indoors), Jimmy Campbell (part of last spring’s 1,600 relay champion, who was also fourth in the 400), Brady Foshay (part of the 1,600 relay champion and runner-up last spring in the 800) and Mike Orne (third last year in the high jump) and juniors Colin Grove (relay champion), Elijah Yeboah (fourth in the 300 hurdles last season) and Isaac Yeboah (third in the 300 hurdles). Adding depth to the throws are juniors Tim Jerome (fifth in the javelin last year) and Mike Sinclair, sophomores Anthony Ciampi, Zordan Holman and Nick White and freshmen Justin Johnston and Jake Lufkin. Senior Andrew Rose brings experience and the ability to compete in the sprints, middle distance and relays. Junior

Sam Cross (sprints and jumps), sophomores Jake Dixon (sprints, jumps), James Hanni-gan (sprints, middle distance, relays), Parker Montano (distance), Jake Schott (jumps and hurdles) and Gerry Wagner (sprints and jumps) and freshmen Johnston (sprints and jumps), Lufkin (sprints) and Hunter Griffiths (sprints and jumps) will also be heard from.

If all goes well, the Stags will be among the best teams in the SMAA and should be in the running for a fifth straight top five state finish.

Cheverus’ girls were seventh in the state last year and will be a force again. Steve Virgilio (who’s led the boys’ team for the past two seasons) replaces Valerie Guillet as coach and he has some talent to work with. While no state meet points return, the Stags have plenty of promise.

Kiera Murray was the two-mile champion indoors. Anne Slattery scored indoors in both the sprints and hurdles. Georgia Caso scored indoors in the 800 and the 3,200 relay. Fresh-man Sarah Mount was sixth indoors in the 400. Greta Niedermeyer will contend in the racewalk.

little punch would help with the offensive woes. Portland didn’t hit a single home run last spring.

The schedule is favorable as the top

teams are stacked toward the end. The Bulldogs got off to an ideal start with a 12-4 win at Sanford, as Smart earned the victory, had three hits and two RBI and Fraser added three hits and three RBI. Once Portland gets rolling, look out. By June, presuming they qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2009, the Bulldogs might just be the team to beat.

“We have just about everyone back,” said coach Tony DiBiase, entering his third year with an overall record of 11-21. “I’m hopeful for a good season. Last year, we pitched pretty well and we were second in the league in defense. Our biggest problem was our inability to score. We’ve been working on our hitting. If we score, we’ll be a tough team. It’s a very even league. No superpower. We talk about playoffs as the goal and going on from there.”

Deering also fell short of the playoffs in 2012, going 4-12. The Rams (who were in the mix until a seven-game losing skid to end the year) are hopeful of returning to contention this spring.

This year’s pitching staff will be paced by senior Nick Payne, sophomore Sam Lu-ebbert and freshman Dan Marzilli. Senior Dominic Martin, the catcher, might see some time on the mound as well. The in-field features Payne or junior Ben Peterson (an All-Rookie team selection last spring) at first base, sophomore Nick Bevilaqua at second, junior Will Barlock at shortstop and freshman Pat Viola at third. Sopho-more Kevin Goldberg, freshman Brandon Fletcher, Mike Marzilli, Payne and Peterson will all see time in the outfield. Sophomore Carlo Macomber also looks to make a mark. Barlock (.333, five RBI last season), Mike Marzilli, Martin and Payne project to be the top hitters.

The Rams (who opened with a 4-0 loss at Massabesic) may take their lumps at times, but should be competitive with most of the league. An improvement on last year’s win total is likely and a return to the postseason is certainly within the realm of possibility.

“We have a great group of guys who love baseball,” said second-year coach Tim Eisenhart. “They have worked hard in the offseason and continue to do so during practice. I think their continued efforts will help them see more success this year and in years to come.”

In Western C, Waynflete is coming off another strong season. The Flyers went 10-6 in 2012, losing, 10-3, to Old Orchard Beach in the preliminary round of the playoffs. Waynflete has made the playoffs three years running (something which last happened from 2001-03). The Flyers are no longer content just being in the running for a postseason berth. They want to be a factor once June arrives.

Junior Joey Schnier will be the staff ace. He boasted a 7-2 record with a 3.45 ERA

last spring when he was named a Western Maine Conference first-team all-star. Depth will come from junior Nik Morrill (28 strikeouts in 25 innings last season), senior Andrew Butler (a first-team all-star and the WMC Class C Player of the Year), senior Luke Jeton (another first-team all-star), junior Will Manny and freshman Tom Silk. On offense, Butler (.395 average, 22 runs in 2012), Jeton (21 RBI) and junior Isaac Sher (.468 on-base percentage), a second-team all-star last year, lead the way. Senior Ryan Carr and juniors Matt Jarrell and Joey Sczurko bring experience and freshman Ben Freedman will look to make an impact.

Waynflete (which opened Monday at Old Orchard Beach) has gone from being a program which struggled to field a varsity team to one which can now hold its own against virtually every foe on the schedule. If some steady pitching can develop behind Morrill and Schnier, the bats produce and the defense is reliable, the Flyers will have a great shot at posting a third straight win-ning record. This time, they could make someone’s life miserable in the postseason.

“Overall, we had a terrific season last year,” said seventh-year coach Steve Kautz (31-49 overall record). “We have a chance to have another strong season and our ex-pectations are to make the playoffs and do some damage when we get there. For us, it starts with pitchers throwing strikes and letting our defense do its job. Our offense lost some punch through graduation and we’re ready to see if the younger players can step up. The team is dedicated to each other and to improvement and I’ve seen as much focus as I can remember over the past several years.”Sports Editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@theforecaster.net.

honorable mention all-star last season after hitting .326 with two home runs, 11 RBI, a .456 on-base percentage and a .587 slug-ging average. She’ll play one of the infield positions when she’s not on the hill. Senior Katie Roy, coming off an absolutely domi-nant hockey season, will be another bat to watch. The third baseman/catcher led the team in RBI a year ago. Junior Libby Des-Ruisseaux (designated hitter) and sopho-more Casey Simpson (who hit .289 as a freshman), along with senior Kelsey Dulac (.286 in 2012), who anchors the outfield, are other bats to watch. Senior Jamie Dulac, another outfielder, is a defensive special-ist. The Stags have a nice infusion of new players as well. Junior Katie Randall, who plays both infield and outfield, joins the team. She cut her teeth in the powerhouse South Portland program. Freshmen Sophia Giancotti (infield) and Jill Hannigan (in-field/outfield) promise to make an impact as the year progresses.

Cheverus has the pieces in place to com-pete. It opened with a 5-4 win at Massa-besic, as Bell got the win, Grasso the save (getting out of bases loaded jams in both the sixth and seventh innings), Randall had two RBI and scored the winner on a Roy hit. While reigning regional champion South Portland and perennial powerhouse Scarborough once again lead the list of top teams, after that there are several squads looking to finish with a winning record and host a playoff game. If the Stags can stay healthy and earn some early confidence, they’ll be a formidable foe.

“We have a solid core of returners and between their experience and the athleti-cism of our newcomers, we expect to be competitive this season,” said second-year coach Maureen Curran. “Last year, we laid the foundation for what we’re trying to build. The players bought into our philoso-phy and made great strides. We’d like to carry that momentum into 2013 and fulfill our potential so the softball program can contribute to the rich tradition of Cheverus athletics.”

McAuley enjoyed the two best seasons in program history in 2010 and 2011, but the Lions took a step back last spring, winding up 6-10.

This season, McAuley will look to its pitching to lead the way. Junior Sam Libby and sophomore Taylor Whaley both figure to see plenty of time on the hill (and will play shortstop when the other pitches). Whaley was an honorable mention league all-star last season. Both girls will also be looked upon to fill the offensive void cre-ated when first-team all-star Shelby Bryant (now playing at the University of Maine-Farmington) graduated. Other players to watch include junior third baseman Heather Chapman, who was limited by injury last year, and senior Molly Mack, also known as “Molly McAuley,” a basketball standout and fan favorite who is no stranger to com-ing up huge in big games.

There won’t be a lot of expectations around the Lions this season, but that worked in their favor back in 2010, Fer-rante’s first season. McAuley (which opened Monday at Marshwood) should be able to hold its own with just about anyone. If the Lions get steady offense, they’ll have a real shot to win more than they lose and get back to the playoffs after falling short

a season ago.“Our numbers are low, but the kids are

working hard,” said fourth-year coach Rob-bie Ferrante (30-21 overall record). “We’ll rely a lot on our pitching and defense. I hope we don’t give up extra outs and allow big innings. We have to beat the teams I think we can beat to give us a playoff spot. We’ve been right there the past three years. I hope we can do it again.”

Deering (0-16 last spring) could be in store for quite a turnaround season. For starters, the Rams have a new coach this year in John Moody, one with a very im-pressive resume. Moody spent nine sea-sons at Gray-New Gloucester, leading the Patriots to Class B championships in 2001 and 2003, then won five conference titles in six seasons at Southern Maine Community College. He served as a volunteer with the program last spring and is familiar with the roster. That roster is young, but there is a lot of upside.

Junior Isabel Doughty, whose availability was limited in 2012, figures to see a lot of the innings, but freshman Kaitlyn DiBiase will also get an opportunity to shine on the mound. Senior captain Kiana DiBiase and sophomore Jade Jordan will see time behind the plate. Sophomore Riley Turner (who is recovering from a finger injury) and junior Erin Winschel anchor the infield. Se-nior Johanna Koster (a captain) and junior Lindsay Sweeney return in the outfield,

where Winschel will also see time. Several others hope to make their mark between now and June.

Clearly, the Rams (who dropped their opener, 16-2, at home against Marshwood, despite three hits from Doughty) have no-where to go but up, but this team won’t be happy just winning a game or two. They hope to contend with virtually every team they play, post enough victories to be in the playoff discussion for the first time since 2009 and set the stage for continued success going forward. This is a program that will soon be on the rise.

“We’ll have a very young team,” said Moody. “We have six freshmen on varsity. We hope to grow and do better than last year. I’m excited. We have good young kids and good returners. We look solid on defense. We hope to keep improving and turn it around.”

Portland was winless in 2011, but last year, the Bulldogs managed to win a game and go 1-15 as they began their climb back to contention. It will be a process, but this year’s group is up to the task.

Portland will turn to junior Amanda Gould and a freshman, Isabel DiMillo, to

lead the way on the mound. Senior Leanne Reichert, a second-team league all-star last season, will wrap up her stellar high school career by catching or playing shortstop and pacing the offense. Senior Sydney Levesque (second base) also brings experience and a spark to the team.

The Bulldogs (who opened Monday at home against Thornton Academy) will be able to compete with most teams on their schedule and should be able to surpass last year’s win total and then some. By next season, Portland should be in even better position to contend.

“We have a stronger team,” said second-year coach Kelly Libby. “We have a lot of youth, but our numbers are up. We have several freshmen on the roster. We’re still developing. We have a long way to go, but we’re on the right track. We talk about fundamentals and about getting better. We’ll go out and play the best we can.”

Waynflete does not field a varsity softball team.

Laura Bither (sprints and jumps), Maddy Fenderson (throws), Lizzie Ford (sprints and jumps) and Julia Lambert (throws) have experience. Abby Goodrich could be heard from in several events. Other athletes to watch include Kaitlyn Dostie (sprints, mid-dle-distance, jumps), Anna Niedermeyer (sprints, hurdles, javelin), Eva Niedermeyer (sprints and hurdles) and Hannah Robbins (sprints, javelin, pole vault). Freshmen Andrea Dumont (sprints), Emily Grinnell (throws) and Hannah Tyson (sprints) will make their mark.

Cheverus has been a top 10 team at states four years running and could do it again.

“This team wants to make a difference,” said Virgilio. “We want to have a positive impact on each other, the sport, the school and the state at large. We want to elevate Cheverus and Maine track and field.”

Deering’s boys tied for ninth at last year’s state meet. This spring, the Rams add new

coach Gerry Myatt (who coaches the indoor team) and feature Winter Male Athlete of the Year Jared Bell, one of the state’s spe-cial throwers. Bell hopes to move up from his runner-up finish in the discus a year ago and add a shot put title. He might even be a factor in the javelin. Alex Hebert also scored last year, in the 3,200 relay. He’ll be joined in the distance races by Yahya Hussein and Jordan Stebbins. In the sprints, look for Josh Carland (who will also throw the javelin), Giles Holmes and sophomore Razel Gavin to contend. Holmes will also be a factor in the jumps.

The Rams won’t be mentioned with the top teams in the conference or state, but they’ll turn some heads and if Bell repeats his indoor excellence outdoors, they’ll fin-ish in the top 10 at states for the second year in a row.

“I’m happy with our numbers, but we could always use more,” Myatt said. “I’m hoping for big things from Jared. We hope that some guys will qualify for states. We’ll score some points in a few places. We hope

to have fun.”The girls’ squad was 20th a year ago.

This spring, Alexis Elowitch (third in the javelin) is the top returner. She’ll also throw the shot put. Freshman Neilab Habibzai will also contend in the throws. In the jumps, Lizzy Fowler, Rashad Zagon and senior Stephanie Sylvester will look to score. The sprint contingent features Whitney Adell, Katie Farrell, Sami Mack, Sylvester and freshman Simone Lauture. Chantrea El, Farrell and Zagon are top hurdlers. In the distance, look for Fowler, junior Amanda LeMoult and freshman Sinead Scott and Megan Violette to turn heads.

Deering is seeking its first top 10 state meet finish since 2001. With the athletes on this roster, June success, along with a strong regular season, is achievable.

“We’re happy with our numbers this season,” said fourth-year coach Kevin Olson. “We have a lot of hard working athletes who are motivated and are ready to compete. We believe that this group will be a competitive team within our league

and we know that everyone will perform at their highest level each time they step on the track.”

McAuley was 20th at the Class C meet last spring. This year, the Lions are about quality, not quantity and the outlook is promising. Liz Houston (third in the pole vault at the Class C state meet last season) is the top returner. She’ll also compete in the hurdles and relays. Elsa Curran will also hurdle and throw. The distance contingent features Anna Dube, Katherine Possiel and Fall Athlete of the Year Adele Werner. Then, there’s a series of newcomers who will provide depth and likely some big points as well. Basketball fans will recognize ju-nior Olivia Smith (throws, high jump) and sophomore Victoria Lux (throws). Fresh-men Akech Allolding and Ellen Richter will also throw. Junior Maria Ramsay joins the distance corps. Freshman Emma Downing hopes to be a factor in the racewalk.

McAuley should steadily improve as the season progresses and hope the new athletes get comfortable. By the postseason, the

#{newline}Deering junior Rashad Zagon is one of the league’s top hurdlers and is one of many standout track athletes from city schools this spring.#{newline}

Lions might just turn some heads and be a real factor.

“We have one of the smallest teams, number-wise since I have been coaching at McAuley,” said 11th-year coach Tim Donovan. “However, it could rank as one of the most talented ones with some new ad-ditions and some late arrivals. I am looking forward to the season and the big meets at the end. Moving into Class C for our state meet, we should be more competitive.”

Both Portland outdoor track teams didn’t manage to score at the state meet a year ago and will look to make the most of small rosters this spring.

The boys will be led by Drew Graham, who hopes to score in the hurdles. Jon Bobe could make some noise in the middle distance events, while freshman Eric Moli-na is a sprinter to watch. The Bulldogs will hold their own during the regular season. If all goes well, they might be able to score at the conference and state meets.

“I like the kids, but I don’t have that many to work with,” said coach Carroll Nappi, now in his 12th year. “We have 20, 16 who are underclassmen. We’re headed in the right direction. I’m trying to build the program back up again.”

On the girls’ side, Tammy Heathco, the

indoor coach, takes over the team. She’s pleased with the numbers and the quality of athlete she has to work with. Megan Ander-son, Sunday Charles and Monica Reno are the top returning sprinters. They’re joined by new junior Alexis DiBiase, sophomores Fair Charles and Alyssa Vaccaro and fresh-man Joska Odong. Claire Kirby’s the top hurdler. Sarah Gale leads the distance contingent, with help from junior Rachel Glover and sophomore Bea Hesselbart. Ju-nior Eliza D’Anieri and sophomore Brooke Ahonen could be factors in the racewalk. Jessica Wolfe will look to score in the shot put. Sophomore Kelby Violette is another thrower with potential. Madison Bolduc will do the same in the jumps. The rest of the team consists of junior Maddie Holton, sophomores Eveliz Feliz and Georgia Drew and freshmen Warda Abukar, Juliet Jarrel, Mary Kanda and Sabrina Shapiro. If this group develops as hoped, Portland will be competitive in the league and will make some noise at Southwesterns and states.

“The team is growing with 23 athletes, many returning and many more new to the program,” Heathco said. “I’m hopeful this season that the girls will do well and try new events. The team is expanding and we are bringing in more girls for field events. All in all, the girls are working hard and eager for the season.”

Waynflete (which didn’t score at states last year) has a young and small outdoor track team this spring, but don’t be sur-prised if a few Flyers turn heads.

The boys’ team features Abukar Adan, now in his fourth year, who projects to be one of the conference’s best distance run-ners. Abdi Mohamud is a threat to score in the jumps (he won the WMC title a year ago). Mohamud, along with juniors Peter Miner and Max Rowe and sophomore Ju-lian Ireland, provide middle distance depth. Freshman Christian Kapongo will compete in the sprints and jumps. Look for Wayn-flete to hold its own in league meets and to produce some points at states.

On the girls’ side, Rowan Price leads the

way in the middle distance and the high jump. She’s joined by juniors Lydia Fox, Ellie Marston and Emily Wasserman and sophomore Gemma Laurence. Junior Sally Ruigi could be a factor in the jumps as well. Like the boys’ team, the girls just hope to get better as the season moves along. Price (fourth in the WMC high jump last year) hopes to score at the postseason meets. The best news is that there are no seniors on the roster, meaning everyone is back next season.

“We have a very young team with only two seniors,” said sixth-year coach Ziggy Gillespie. “The boys have the ability to score points. The girls have five cross country runners on the roster with strong potential in the 400, 800 and 4x800 relay.”

The Chebeague & Cumberland Land Trust has received the 2013 Community eco-Excellence Award for Cumberland af-ter being nominated by ecomaine board member and Cumberland resident Susan McGinty. The awards are presented an-nually for contributions in preserving local ecology by ecomaine, a nonprofit, municipally-owned, single-sort recycling and waste-to-energy operation.

Primeau was nominated by the Yarmouth Recycling Committee after improving the 2012 festi-val recycling and reuse options, especially for food vendors. More than 2 tons of recy-clable paper, tin, plastic, and cardboard was diverted from the waste stream. In addition, returnable bottles and cans and cooking oil were collected for recycling or fundraising.

The Maine and New Hampshire offices of Coldwell Banker Residential Broker-age received the Silver Award, along with several other awards, at the Cartus Broker Network International Conference.

Expansions and Moves

In a separate deal, Tilson acquired the assets and hired the team of a wireless construc-tion company headquartered in Foley, Ala.

The Arts

Local Muscle, a Portland-based moving company, has expanded and converted its original truck into an “art truck” for dis-playing art and hosting public performanc-es. There is no charge for artists to display or sell art in the truck; the purpose of the program is to give artists more exposure and to encourage people to contribute to the arts economy. The dedicated 16-foot “art truck” served as Local Muscle’s original

moving truck, but as the company grew, the decision was made to retire it and devote it to free public art displays. Graphics for the art truck were designed by local artist, Jared Goulette and professional sign artist, Will Sears.

“Parents divorce each other, not their kids...”

‘The Armed Man’ is powerful new balletBy Scott Andrews

This week’s top picks in the perform-ing arts cover a lot of artistic territory: music, musical theater and dance. The latter is represented by Portland Ballet’s powerful new production of “The Armed Man,” a work for chorus, orchestra and dancers that will be presented at Merrill Auditorium on April 26.

One Longfellow Square continues to present top roots acts. The Howlin’ Brothers, slated for this Friday, is a gritty three-man Americana band from Nashville that’s making waves nationally.

Portland Symphony Orchestra wraps up its 2012-2013 Pops season this Satur-day and Sunday with “Totally Awesome ‘80s,” a celebration of the music of that dynamic decade.

Lyric Music Theater is wrapping up its season of musical theater this week-end with the final performances of “The Drowsy Chaperone,” appropriately sub-titled “A Musical Within A Comedy.”

‘The Armed Man’“We want to go beyond good. We want

to be eye-opening.”That statement, by Portland Bal-

let Company artistic director Eugenia O’Brien, expresses her attitude toward her organization’s upcoming production of “The Armed Man.”

Subtitled “A Mass For Peace,” “The Armed Man” is a major new piece of choreography based on a score by con-temporary Welsh composer Karl Jenkins.

“The Armed Man” is the universalized story of a soldier, based on texts from historical and contemporary sources.

As a purely musical work for chorus and orchestra, “The Armed Man” has been performed around the world about a thousand times. The choreography, by PBC associate artistic director Nell Ship-man, is totally new and will premiere this Friday.

Shipman explains: “This piece follows a soldier, represented by two different men as his body and soul, facing the realities of struggling within the task of saving lives by taking lives, having his own life taken and finally finding the strength to realize there is always light no matter how dark the way to it may be.”

The cast comprises two men, who rep-resent the soldier, and about two dozen women, who dance a variety of solo and

supporting roles. The Choral Art Society, augmented by a small symphony orches-tra, will also perform.

O’Brien describes her company’s new work as “contemporary ballet,” noting that “we’re really involved with what happens with this whole art form.”

Shipman describes her terpsichorean creation in more general terms: “It’s a statement of faith in the human spirit, which is one of the most powerful things on this earth.”

Portland Ballet presents “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” at 8 p.m. April 26 at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

The Howlin’ BrothersThree Ithaca College students, all hail-

ing from northern states, found success

playing traditional music of the southern Appalachians, then moved to Nashville to pursue their dreams.

That’s the quick take on The How-lin’ Brothers, who released their latest CD last month – appropriately named “Howl” – and are now touring the coun-try to support it. The three guys, who are brothers in spirit only, motor into Portland’s One Longfellow Square this

Friday.Although they look like a bluegrass

band, and at times incorporate bluegrass trappings and rhythms, the Howlin’ Brothers are most decidedly an Ameri-cana string band that also embraces ele-ments of rock, pop, gospel, jazz, R&B, Dixieland and country blues.

The Howlin’ Brothers comprise Ben Plasse on upright bass and banjo, Ian Craft on fiddle, mandolin, and banjo, and Jared Green on guitar and harmonica. All three share vocals and harmonies. Since 2005 they’ve been living and working in Nashville.

Listening to some MP3s and watch-ing some videos, I’m impressed by their instrumental prowess and their artistic vi-sion. I expect them to draw a good crowd when they appear this Friday.

One Longfellow Square (corner of State and Congress in Portland) presents The Howlin’ Brothers at 8 p.m. April 26. Call 761-1757.

PSO PopsAs spring flowers and green foliage at

last appear, it’s also time for the 2012-2013 seasons of Maine’s arts producers and presenters to disappear. This week-end marks the finale of the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s Pops series, and the season-ending theme is music of the 1980s.

Maestro Robert Moody has invited a

pair of singers to appear with his 80-piece orchestra in a program that includes hit tunes written or performed by artists such as Madonna, The Police, Michael Jordan, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springs-teen and half a dozen others.

The PSO’s guest artists will be Tony Vincent and Christina DeCicco. Vincent is a recording-artist who is best known for his appearance on the second season of NBC television’s reality singing com-petition, “The Voice.” His stage work includes “American Idiot” on Broadway, plus he has fronted the band Queen on several occasions.

DeCicco has toured the U.S. perform-ing in musical theater. She currently portrays the role of Eva Peron twice a week in the Broadway revival of “Evita.” Previously she starred in “Wicked” and was in the original cast of “Sister Act.”

‘The Drowsy Chaperone’Several generations ago, Broadway

musicals were typically referred to as musical comedies. A few still merit that title, and one of the most deserving of the moniker is “The Drowsy Chaperone,” which played the Great White Way in 2006-2007. That production won two Tony Awards: for Best Book, by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, and Best Score, by Lisa Lambert and Greg Mor-rison.

“The Drowsy Chaperone” is a fantasy-parody of musical comedies of the 1920s, and employs a show-within-a-show concept with many instances of overt theatricality.

Lyric Music Theater is closing its sea-son of musicals with a superb community production this very funny and tuneful musical comedy. The very capable large cast is led by director Mary Meserve, and I felt that seven stood out above the rest.

The top women are Veronica Diebold as a ditzy show-biz diva and ingenue, Cynthia O’Neil as an air-headed older woman and Jennine Cannizzo as the tipsy title character.

Among the men, my favorites are Michael Donovan as the narrator, David

Aaron Van Duyne as the clueless dashing juvenile, Peter Salisbury as an unflap-pable butler and Caleb Lacy as a clumsy comic Latin Lothario. Special mention is also earned by Alex Pratt and Jim Shim-

inski as a pair of stereotyped gangsters.Lyric Music Theater, 176 Sawyer St.

in South Portland, presents two final per-formances of “The Drowsy Chaperone,” April 26-27 at 8 p.m. Call 799-1421.

GREEN!

Green ways to beautify your homeWhen it comes to improving your

home, it’s easier than ever to make eco-friendly choices that save you money, are better for the environ-ment and make your home more beauti-ful. Here are a few easy ways you can go green all over the house.

Light it UpAs you make the

switch from incan-descent bulbs, it’s important to look for a bulb that will not only conserve energy and save money, but that gives you the

kind of illumination you want. Look for an alternative with even light distribu-tion, such as 3M LED Advanced Light.

It lights up a room as beautifully as you would expect, and lasts for 25 years, delivering energy ef-ficiency without com-promise. It uses one quarter of the energy used by an incandes-cent light bulb and can save you up to $140 worth of elec-

tricity over the bulb’s lifetime. In addi-tion, it contains no mercury and does not need special disposal. Learn more at 3MLighting.com/LED.

Decorate with Recycled Materials Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or

want to buy ready-made items, there are plenty of options that keep materials out

of landfills. Look for furniture made from reclaimed wood, carpets made from recycled plastic, flooring made from sustainable resources such as bamboo or cork, and wallpaper made from managed timber sources. You can find glassware, dinner sets and accessories made from recycled glass, and textiles like curtains and blankets made from organic fibers.

Save Water with StyleUpgrading your water-using devices

can help you use less water and save money. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that products with the WaterSense or EnergyStar labels will cut down on your water usage. For example, replacing faucets and aerators with WaterSense models can save you an average of 700 gallons of water per year. Replacing your showerhead could save 2,900 gallons of water per year, and a new toilet could save you 13,000 gallons of water per year. Look for the Energy-Star label on dishwashers and washing machines – they can use up to half as much water and 40 percent less energy.

Clean GreenKeep your home sparkling clean with

eco-friendly cleaners and detergents. Look for products with plant-based in-gredients and that are free from artificial chemicals, colors and fragrances. And learn to make your own cleaners, too. Baking soda and vinegar are natural products with a lot of cleaning power.

Making some green improvements around your house is easier than you think – and the payoff is a beautiful home and a better environment.

Courtesy of Family Features

Investing in natural or recycled materials for floors and furniture, and using mercury-free lighting and Energy-Star appliances are some of the ways each of us can contribute responsibly to the greening of our planet.

overhead.”Mardin served his country with honor and

humility as a young man during World War II, and he’s been serving others ever since.

He volunteered for the National Guard after returning to Maine from the war, and he was involved in traffic control duty dur-ing the forest fires of 1947.

After getting his pilot’s license, he volun-teered with the Civil Air Patrol and assisted in search missions.

He served the Maine State Police for 15 years, riding along as a Reserve Trooper in patrol cars.

In 1988, he began volunteering at Maine Medical Center, and he’s put in more than 9,000 hours since that time: indexing re-cords in the library’s archives, distributing

information pamphlets in the oncology center, and processing patient mail.

In 2011, Mardin’s wife Bettie died after being confined in a nursing home with Al-zheimer’s disease.

“The personnel at Sedgewood Commons showed such compassion and gave such extra care that I felt I owed them, and I’ve volunteered there ever since,” Mardin said. He spends two days a week at Sedgewood playing cards with the patients.

Given his distinguished military back-ground and strong drive to serve, it is no surprise that Mardin discovered the Maine Military Museum and Learning Center at 50 Peary Terrace in South Portland. The 12,000-square-foot museum features uniforms, artifacts and memorabilia from Maine veterans who served the country in wars ranging from the Revolutionary War right up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mardin spends several hours each week as an archivist at the museum. He wrote a guide for all the items on display and an index to the brass plaques on the museum’s walls.

As he explained on a tour of the museum, “Everything here has a story. ... The Maine Military Museum is a great way for the younger generation to learn about past wars

from viewing all the artifacts on display. It’s also a place where veterans can visit and recall their experiences.”

Mardin celebrated his 91st birthday a few weeks ago. He takes no medications, and he’s in perfect health. He was very reluctant to be profiled, too.

“I’m not a hero,” he protested. “I’m just there.”

“It’s like we’re building a brand-new ho-tel in the framework of this historic hotel,” Wennerstrom said.

When complete, the rechristened Westin Portland Harborview Hotel will have 289 rooms – 85 more than its predecessor – and will be the largest hotel in the state.Whit Richardson of the Bangor Daily News contributed to this report. William Hall can be reached at 781-3661

for redevelopment.But at Monday’s meeting, some members

of the public expressed concerns about the height of the towers, claiming they would be out of scale with the rest of the area and will block views of, and from, the peninsula.

“This development, which is bloated in every way, and car-centric, would not receive the blessing of the city in any other neighborhood,” said Tim Paradis, a Bayside resident who led a coalition of neighbors that placed advertisements promoting their opposition.

Paradis said the city is looking for a

“silver bullet” that would solve the needs of Bayside.

Other speakers at the meeting said Mid-town is too good an opportunity to miss.

“We think this is the opportunity, and this is the time,” said Michael Bourque, presi-dent of the Portland Community Chamber. “These opportunities don’t happen in per-petuity.”

Alex Landry, a board member of the Bayside Neighborhood Association, said Midtown’s developers responded “very well” to the needs of the neighborhood and the limitations of the site.

“This is the development we’ve been waiting for,” he said.

Councilor Kevin Donoghue questioned city staff about whether the building

heights are in keeping with the vision for the neighborhood, articulated in a 2000 comprehensive plan. Planning Director Alex Jaegerman explained that 165-foot buildings were originally anticipated in the plan, and that the height restrictions were added in 2006.

But overall, Donoghue said, he was pleased that the development meets the goals of the plan, especially by adding “a critical mass of housing” in an area where it’s in short supply.

“(Midtown) takes pressure off a very tight market,” he said, “... and it’s the first market-rate development of any size for over a decade.”

in the future, Croteau said.Another change from the Portland loca-

tion will be the addition of retail clothing and gear sales. Patrons can also buy beer to go, although only in their odd-sized, European bottles.

Croteau said half-gallon growlers, which are filled to-go and popular with many standalone breweries, are not part of the plan right now for the tap room. Although that might change, she said, much of their decision to not fill growlers, in addition to needing equipment and training, is the potential negative impact on taste.

“Freshness is a huge factor for us and making sure it’s not exposed to light and heat,” she said, noting that with their hoppy beers, the aroma and taste can quickly dis-sipate.

The main reason for the tasting room is to be accessible, Dave Kleban said.

“We got beat up by out fans for that,” he said. “We basically weren’t accessible to public.”

The new brewing space is a stark change from the former location off Forest Avenue in Portland, which could probably fit inside the new brewery a few times over.

Brewing equipment lines most of the south wall, leaving room for additional fermenters. The large, open middle section of the brewery provides generous room for operations and is partially lit by sunlight pouring in through the clerestory windows.

The brewery can now churn out about 5,000 barrels of beer per year, up from 3,000 in Portland, said Daniel Kleban, who manages brewing operations.

“It’s a custom-built brewery,” he said. “It’s definitely a lot more pleasant.”

Outside of the brewery, they also have a

storage room for conditioning beers. Kle-ban said they will also be experimenting with a small-scale barrel-aging program, but it’s still in the early stages.

The home-brewing brothers, who moved from Michigan about 10 years ago, started the brewery without a stylistic bent in mind, Dave Kleban said. And with the latest ex-pansion, that’s not changing.

“We make beers we like to drink,” Kle-ban said. “That’s rule No. 1.”

They also want to keep customers, and their brewers, interested, he said, adding that the pilot series, which will alternate every couple months, is designed to do that.

The large barn-like brewery could allow them to grow into a much bigger brewery, Kleban said, but that’s not the goal.

“It looks like this big, impressive build-ing,” he said. “You could do 10 times as much beer here, but that’s not our intention. It’s growth, but it’s not going from a tiny brewery to 50,000 barrels.”

Maine Beer Co. now distributes in 11 markets in nine states and has about 10 employees.

And while the Kleban brothers are both passionate about beer, together they also make solid business partners: Dave is a financial analyst, and Daniel is an attorney.

“It’s been a great advantage,” Dave Kle-ban said. “Daniel took on the science of the beer and I took on the science of the business.”

And to continue brewing in the ever-growing craft beer market, their skills will

be put to the test.The number of breweries in Maine, and

the country, continues to climb, with nearly one brewery opening every day, according to the Brewer’s Association, a national craft beer industry group.

When Maine Beer Co. opened in 2009, the total number of breweries was about 1,600. Now, there are about 2,500, includ-ing one rumored for their former location.

“When we opened in 2009, the economy kind of sucked, but not for craft beer,” Dan-iel Kleban said.

Still, the brewing community in Maine is more “collegial” than competitive, he said, noting that despite their rapid growth, craft breweries only make up about 6.5 percent of the entire domestic market, with the few conglomerate “big beer” corporations tak-ing in the lion’s share.

“It’s more of a collective feeling. We’re not fighting for the same market share,” Kleban said of Maine’s craft beer industry. “I’m not sure if it’ll always be that way, but it’s a pretty tight community around here. ... There’s still a lot of room to grow.”

Dave Kleban said that the rampant growth in breweries is good, but it also has its pitfalls. He said while it means more beer, it might not always mean quality beer.

“A lot of people get into it for the wrong reasons,” he said. “As kids, we’re told not to touch things that are hot, but as adults we ignore that. We’re strange beings.”

Kleban said for Maine Beer to be where it is in four years took hard work and dedi-cation, skimping on luxuries.

“It’s not the magic in the label or a fancy cap,” he said. “It’s about what’s in the bottle.”

to have a space of his own, in an up-and-coming Portland neighborhood.

“I love being in this corner of the city,” he said. “I love the mix of people, and the character of the place. It’s a real neighbor-hood.”

Farrell compared East Bayside to a part of Brooklyn, N.Y., where he grew up.

“This reminds me of Midwood (Brook-lyn),” he said. “... It’s mixed economically, and there’s a range of people and back-grounds. People know each other. They talk to each other on the streets.”

Farrell said they plan to make organic, New York-style bagels at the new shop, continuing the baking tradition that Katie

Made established there in 2000. Prior to that the building was home to Silly’s res-taurant, which is now a few blocks away on Washington Avenue. Katie Made, mean-while, has moved to 181 Congress St.

The fact that a new business has come to East Bayside, while two others have stayed nearby, seems to be a natural path of development for the area, according to Jed Rathband, a Realtor and entrepeneur who lives and works there.

“We are the focus of where people want to live, work and invest,” he said. “East Bayside provides an environment for people and groups that are just starting.”

Rathband said residential and business development in the neighborhood is more “organic” than in other areas, such as in Bayside, where public attention is focused

on the large Midtown project.While he said he welcomes that project’s

addition of housing, parking and retail space, he also said growth in East Bayside is more “attainable.”

“Projects like (Midtown) are swinging for the fences,” he said. “Here, people are just trying to get on base.”

Someone else trying to make a “hit” in East Bayside is Pliny Reynolds, a building designer for the Whole Foods supermarket chain who moved to Maine from Texas.

Last fall, he bought a two-story building at 56 Washington Ave. that houses a retail florist and three-bedroom apartment. He’s now renovating the apartment so he can move there from Kennebunk and be close to the Whole Foods store on Somerset Street.

Like Farrell, Reynolds said the neigh-

borhood brings back fond memories of a former home. He compared East Bayside to the East Austin area of Texas – ranked last fall by Forbes magazine as the No. 7 hip-pest neighborhood in the nation (downtown Portland ranked 11th).

“It’s a similar situation,” Reynolds said. “... The (neighborhood) is close to downtown, it’s up-and-coming, and it’s affordable enough to attract artists and independent-spirited businesses.”

“This is a place that engages people,” he added. “I think there’s a bright, bright future ahead.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or whall@theforecaster.net. Follow him on Twitter: @

Pirates, said Monday that he was “very pleased” with the agreement.

“This was all about finding an equation that worked for the Civic Center and the Pirates. ... (The agreement) will give both parties a chance to break even.”

While the new lease still has to be drawn up and signed, last week’s agree-ment ironed out the major differences.

For the first time, the Pirates will get a share – 57.5 percent – of the profits from concession sales during home games. That amounts to about $350,000 each season, according to the team.

But the Civic Center’s concession on concessions is offset by money it will

receive from the sale of advertising inside the arena, a revenue stream the Pirates previously controlled.

In addition, the team’s rent has been reduced from $2,500 per game to $1,000. But the new amount is a fixed, flat fee, while the previous rent was sometimes reduced by rebates the Civic Center gave the Pirates based on attendance.

Renaming rights for the arena were hotly contested during the negotiations, with both parties vying for the revenue from selling the name and brand of the “new” Civic Center to a third party. That’s a common marketing technique; in Bangor, Cross Insurance Agency recently paid $3 million for the right to brand the city’s new arena as the Cross Insurance Center.

Ultimately, the Civic Center retained the rights.

“(Renaming) was a deal-breaker from the beginning,” Pratt said, “but we didn’t waver one iota.”

The Pirates will play all of their 2013-2014 home games in the Civic Center under the new agreement. Previously, the team had planned to play some of its home schedule at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston. In addition, the agreement calls for sharing labor costs at home games.

The Civic Center’s renovation raised the stakes in the negotiations, creating greater unknowns for both sides, accord-ing to Petrovek.

“So much of this was based on as-sumptions, especially because we’re

moving into a new territory, with differ-ent costs and different revenue opportuni-ties,” he said.

But both Pratt and Petrovek said they are relieved and happy the bargaining is over, and that both sides came out with important gains.

“Both parties worked to find a solu-tion that was sustainable,” Petrovek said. “We’ve been patient in hopes that this day would come, and we feel good.”

Pratt said the Civic Center’s goal was to break even and not impose a burden on taxpayers.

“I think we achieved that,” he said. “... Nobody on either side gave away the store.”

In addition to the Pitch ME! Contest, students can register for Build-a-Biz Day, where they will receive advice from lo-cal business owners on how to get their businesses up and running for the sum-mer months.

While the major focus Gooding’s pro-gram is teaching students to create their own businesses, there is also a focus on

how kids spend and save their money.She said that she tries to teach kids to

spend, save and share.“I feel it is very important for kids to

spend money on themselves, because they have worked so hard on this, but they also need to save some money. (So) Bangor Savings Bank is giving each par-ticipant (in Build-a-Biz Day) $5 for their savings account,” Gooding said. “(But also) the last thing is to share, so (we hope to) bring the awareness to sharing their profits with a charity in need.”

As the program grows, Gooding hopes to gain support from school districts, which is a market that has been difficult to tap.

She currently relies on the help of the Maine Parks and Recreation Association to spread the word about Build-a-Biz, but next year hopes to have the help of the

Maine Department of Education.Students interested in registering for

Build-a-Biz Day or entering the Pitch ME! Contest should visit the Build-a-Biz website at buildabiz.me for more infor-mation on the program and access to the training modules.Amber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.
