Changes proposed in rules on student restraintBy Emily Parkhurst

AUGUSTA — After nearly nine months of work, a group of special education profession-als, school principals, disability rights advocates and parents has sent rule changes on the restraint and seclusion of school children to the Maine Department of

Scarborough, Cape schools take hits in state fundingBy Emily Parkhurst

AUGUSTA — Contrary to some projections, most schools in greater Portland will receive increased state funding next year if estimates released last week become official.

However, due to steady property valuations, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough are the only towns in the area predicted to lose state aid.

The Maine Department of Education has released its preliminary general purpose aid numbers for the 2012-13 school year, utilizing a new funding formula that was expected to increase funding for rural schools and decrease funding for urban schools.

Democrats in the state Leg-islature had initially estimated schools in greater Portland would see widespread losses in state aid. But if the prelimi-nary numbers are any indica-tion, only a few local schools will take hits.

This is largely due to an increase of $19 million in the amount of general purpose aid included in the state budget – up to $914 million, accord-ing to DOE spokesman David Connerty-Marin.

While this is still not as much as the state spent on GPA in 2008, he said it par-tially makes up for the loss of federal stimulus funds, which

Education.The DOE will review the pro-

posals and then send its version to the education commissioner and the state Legislature for approval.

The stakeholder group has proposed that the word “thera-peutic” be struck entirely from

the rules, which now refer to “therapeutic restraint.”

“You do a restraint when it’s necessary. Being therapeutic is not its job,” said Disability Rights Center attorney Diane Smith Howard.

The term “time-out” will also no longer be synonymous with

“seclusion,” if the group’s rec-ommendations are adopted. The changes would define seclusion as involuntary, while a time-out would be when a student com-plies with an adult’s request to take a break.

The rules would also prohibit airway-restrictive restraints,

which were addressed in two administrative letters to all Maine schools, but which an investigation last year by The Forecaster found was not repre-sented in many schools’ policies and in some cases not being

Living with Rett, longing for a cureBy Mario Moretto

SCARBOROUGH — Mornings are a slow process for Annie Nee.

The 10-year-old Went-worth Intermediate School student is helped out of bed and through the typi-cal morning routine by her mother and an in-home nurse.

She is placed in a wheel-chair, where she remains for much of the day. Breakfast can take more than an hour and, if it doesn’t go well, she’ll have to take extra nutrition through a feeding tube.

Annie has Rett syndrome, a physically disabling neuro-logical disorder caused by a sporadic mutation in a gene known as MECP2. Part of the autism spectrum, Rett syndrome primarily affects girls, and results in a regres-sion of gross and fine motor control.

For Annie, that means the inability to meaningfully control her body. Rett is also marked by unpredictable and uncontrolled breath-ing patterns that for Annie sometimes result in painful stomach aches from swal-lowed air and dangerously low blood-oxygen levels. In worst-case scenarios, com-plications from the disorder can lead to death.

Annie loves music, school

CONtRiButEdAnnie Nee is supported by her physical therapist, Dora Rex, at Wentworth Intermediate School in Scarborough. Annie has Rett syndrome, an autism

spectrum disorder, and was one of 12 children selected in a lottery to begin testing a growth hormone that reversed many Rett symptoms in lab mice.

and other children, but she cannot speak, or even cry. She requires near-constant “top-to-bottom” care, ac-cording to her mother.

But exciting developments in the search for a cure give Annie’s parents, Dickie and Katie Nee, a measured hope that one day Annie may lead a more normal life.

A breakthrough treat-ment in lab mice reversed the major symptoms of Rett syndrome. In August, Annie joined 12 other little girls at Children’s Hospital Boston to begin testing the treat-ment.

’We didn’t want to believe it’

Annie was born a normal, healthy girl, Katie Nee said.

“She smiled very early,” Nee said last week. “She was a very happy, good baby. A typical, normal baby.”

But when Annie was about a year old, her parents began to notice something wasn’t right.

Annie wasn’t meeting developmental milestones the same way their six other children had. Because she was the youngest child, family members often made excuses for her lack of progress.

“They said it was because

South Portland High School renovation en route to November bidsBy Mario Moretto

SOUTH PORTLAND — The com-mittee developing a plan for renovating South Portland High School is expected to seek bids for the estimated $41.5 mil-lion project next month.

A final public comment session was scheduled Thursday night, Oct. 13, at the school, with discussion of interior plans for the cafeteria, the outline for green building certification, a plan for the renovated cafeteria and accompanying design sketches.

After this last session, the Building Committee will integrate public feedback into the plan and send the project out to bid in November.

The high school plan, approved in a referendum vote last year, calls for de-molition of the school annex, which will be rebuilt so that it connects the school in a circular pattern that will create a courtyard and natural light well.

offices, will be kept and renovated, as will Beal Gym and the South Portland Auditorium. The school is expected to grow by 50 percent, from about 200,000 square feet to 300,000 square feet.

It will include a “Learning Commons” – a new take on a library, promised to be “a working environment for collaborative

learning, not a quiet space for archiving books,” according to a recent committee document.

It also would include rooms where small groups can meet privately to work on projects and study, a space for presen-tations and enough structural flexibility – think movable furniture – for many groups to meet and work at once. The committee has also floated creation of a “Red Riot Cafe,” where students would be able to buy coffee and small food items and meet in a casual setting.

The cafeteria plan includes floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the football fields. The room will be divisible, allow-

ing for three concurrent uses at any one time. It will also be connected by way of a “green room” to a 164-seat lecture room designed for educational and com-munity use.

The committee hopes the school reno-vation and construction will be complete by the 2015-2016 school year and will certified for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

The plan includes cost- and energy-saving measures such as high-efficiency natural gas boilers, and light shelves and light traps that should reduce the need for artificial lighting.

Green construction “proves this project to be a safe, healthy, warm, bright and inviting teaching facility for our students and community for years to come,” Keith Emerson, the panel’s chairman for green design and energy efficiency, said in an email.

The design, by Harriman architects and engineers of Auburn and Portland, is expected to earn LEED Silver status.

Discussion continues on Fort Williams bus feesBy Amy Anderson

CAPE ELIZABETH — Residents will have another opportunity to express their opinions about commercial bus fees at Fort Williams Park in a Nov. 14 public hearing.

The Town Council will revisit a recommendation by the Fort Williams Advisory Commission to charge a $40 entry fee for tour buses, and a seasonal charge of $1,500 for trolleys that visit the park next year.

The recommendation does not include a charge for camp and recreation pro-gram buses, buses related to municipal recreational programs or small buses and vans operated by elderly care fa-cilities such as Village Crossings, Piper Shores or the South Portland Housing Authority.

Councilors indicated support for the recommendation at an Oct. 3 workshop, with only Councilors Anne Swift-Kayatta and Chairman David Sherman opposed to the proposed fees.

Residents who spoke during a council meeting Wednesday expressed opinions that ranged from full support to disbelief.

Betty Crane of Starboard Drive said the proposal to charge commercial buses is good and fair.

“No way are the citizens of Cape Elizabeth morally wrong in charging the buses,” Crane said. “Buses are making money on the tour, it’s as simple as that. There’s no conflict between families driving in and bus tours who want to be in an easy position of seeing the light-house, the views, the museum, shops and thoroughly enjoy themselves.”

But Paul Brown, also of Starboard Drive, said he cannot believe fees of any sort are on the table again after voters twice defeated referendums for

parking fees.“We are not putting a charge on the

bus, on the machine that brings them in, the charge goes to those people,” he said. “If it’s going to cost more money, then bring it on. Because we want that place to be free.”

Harry Hardy of Charles Road said the bus fee sounds like a “cover charge for senior citizens.”

“I haven’t been in a place that charges a cover charge in years, but when I did it wasn’t to go buy a trinket,” he said.

Other than Swift-Kayatta, who said she feels the bus fee proposal is “inher-ently unfair” and “has a lot of practical problems,” councilors refrained from comment.

They also asked for additional infor-mation: the demographics of the cruise ships to get a better idea of who is participating in the tours, other tour bus destinations and their costs.

With Councilor Jessica Sullivan ab-sent, and the council voted 6-0 to hold a public hearing on the proposal on Monday, Nov. 14.

Councilors also approved a recom-

mendation from the Rescue Study Com-mittee to supplement the on-call rescue volunteer service with an advanced life support provider or paramedic.

The committee – Fire Chief Peter Gleeson, Deputy Chief Jim Wilson, rescue Capt. Steve Peters, three rescue lieutenants and a rescue member – was asked to determine if the current system of covering emergency calls is meeting the needs of the community and fulfilling Maine emergency service requirements.

According to Gleeson, the position would help when Cape services are need in South Portland, reduce call times, and provide additional coverage when necessary.

The council voted unanimously to add the paramedic on a per-diem basis for nine or 10 hours a day, seven days a week, starting Jan. 1, 2012. Funds to pay for the position – up to nearly $76,400 per year – would come out of the reserve special fund.

Councilors also approved the master plan for the Arboretum at Fort Williams Park and set public hearings on Nov. 14 to address amendments to the Mis-cellaneous Offenses Ordinance, which would regulate consumer fireworks and rooster owners.

The Nov. 14 meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall.Amy Anderson can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or

County District 1 candidates disagree on Civic Center bondBy Mario Moretto

SCARBOROUGH — Cumberland County residents last year approved the county’s first-ever charter, which dictates the way the county is organized and governed.

The document also increased the number of districts, and the number of elected county commissioners, from three to five. In March, the county map was redrawn to accommodate the two new districts, with no existing district keeping its former boundaries.

On Nov. 8, voters in District 1 – Scarborough, Baldwin, Bridgton, Gorham, Harrison, Sebago and Standish – will elect a commissioner to represent them for the next four years.

Three candidates are running for the post, all of whom would be first-time commissioners: Neil D. Jamieson Jr., of Scarborough; Annalee Rosenblatt, also of Scarborough, and Lisa R. Villa, of Harrison.

Neil D. Jamieson Jr.Of the three candidates, Jamieson, a

Scarborough trial lawyer, is the only one who supports the county referendum on a $33 million bond to repair and reno-vate the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland.

The project would include upgrades to restrooms, new seats, a new facade, an im-proved vendor area, an improved loading dock and handi-capped accessibility. The bond would also make renovations requested by the Portland Pirates hockey team, including the addition of higher-priced club seats and improvements to locker rooms.

“This is a perfect time to update the Civic Center,” Jamieson said. “The cost of building is low. The cost of borrowing money is historically low, so there is a bigger bang for your buck to do it now.”

He also said the economic impact of the Civic Center on Portland justifies the need for the repairs and renovations.

“There’s $15 million in spin-off in-come for area restaurants, hotels, cab drivers,” and more, he said, citing num-bers from the Greater Portland Chamber of Commerce.

Jamieson is an elected member of the Cumberland County Charter Com-mission, and a former chairman of the Scarborough Democratic Committee,

former member of the Maine Bar Asso-ciation Board of Governors and former president of the Bates College Alumni Association. But he said its his small-business owner acumen that would make him a good commissioner.

“(My law firm) is like any other small business,” he said. “You have to make difficult decisions every day, every week and every month to be successful. I know what it means to streamline, to make dif-ficult decisions, and to be more efficient.”

Jamieson said the biggest problem fac-ing the county is the financial pressure on towns to continue to provide services – without raising taxes – while dealing with ever-constricting budgets thanks to declining state funding.

He said he would prioritize the role of Community Development Block Grants for rural towns in the district and con-tinue to seek ways to consolidate local services, such as emergency dispatch at the county level, something already done in Harrison and Bridgton.

“County government offers such a tremendous opportunity as a partner, as a facilitator,” he said. “Not as a a Pac-Man eating up smaller towns, but as a partner. The benefits far outweigh the negatives.”

Annalee RosenblattRosenblatt said fiscal conservatism and

an eye on keeping the county’s budget tight will guide her if she is elected.

“I see my role as asking questions, making sure the budget is as tight as it can be,” the human resources and labor relations consultant said. “That expendi-tures are justified, that when the county goes for grants to ask ques-tions to make sure there are no strings attached for long-term commitments.”

Rosenblatt also said she would work to ensure the rural towns in the district con-tinue to receive strong, effective policing from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

She said she offers experience work-ing at the county level, thanks to her consulting work for Piscataquis, Lin-coln, Franklin and Oxford Counties, and her previous time as consultant for Cumberland. Rosenblatt has also served on the Scarborough School Board and the Chamber of Commerce, and is the chair-woman of the Scarborough Republican Committee.

Rosenblatt said she opposes the Civic Center renovation bond question. She said it’s disingenuous for proponents of the bond to say it won’t cost taxpayers any money, and unfair that the Portland Pirates will benefit from the renovation without funding any of the cost.

JamiesonRosenblatt

Lisa R. VillaVilla said inclusion would be the

hallmark of her term as county commis-sioner. The airline flight attendant said she’d regularly reach out to elected and ap-pointed leaders in all the municipalities in her district.

The interests of the rural and urban municipalities “don’t have to be at odds,” Villa said. “We can unify towns, but it’s going to take a plan, and someone willing to engage and work with municipalities and town managers. ... I’m that person.”

Villa was appointed to the Cumberland County Charter Commission and is serv-ing her sixth year as a Harrison select-man. She is also the chairwoman of the Cumberland County Finance Committee and has served on the Lakes Region Transportation Coalition and Community Development Municipal Block Grant Review Committee.

Villa said she is staunchly opposed to

Civic centerfrom previous page

Supporters say the Civic Center bond will be paid for by extending a Cumberland County Jail bond and insti-tuting a $1 fee on admission tickets for events. Rosenblatt said that if the county can retire the jail bond, it should do so and pass the savings on to taxpayers.

“Over the years, the county should have been budgeting a capital fund for (the Civic Center),” she said. “To allow it to get into disrepair over 43 years, with-out a reserve fund, is a problem.”

Rosenblatt said she doesn’t think there are any problems exclusive to District 1, but that the diversity of municipalities – from Scarborough’s 19,000 population and proximity to Portland, to Baldwin’s rural population of 1,400 – makes for a unique challenge.

“It’s my responsibility to make sure that residents of rural communities are represented,” she said. “The new charter calls for commissioner meetings being scheduled in the outlying communities. I’ll push for that.”

Villa

the Civic Center bond, which she said was crafted and proposed without the input of the majority of municipalities in Cumberland County. She also questioned why representatives of the Portland Pi-rates, a tenant in the Civic Center, were allowed on the renovation task force.

“To me, it’s cronyism,” she said. “I hate to say that, but I don’t know why you could even have two members of a com-pany making decisions that the taxpayers are going to have to vote on and pay for. I just think it’s wrong.”

Even if other communities had been involved in drafting the plan, she said, the plan as proposed is still ill-suited to benefit the bulk of event attendees or to really improve the Civic Center.

“There’s a lack of adequate parking, seating capacity,” she said. “But what they are getting in this plan are box seats.

A lot of people in my community won’t be able to afford that.”

Villa said the biggest problems facing the municipalities and the county as a whole are budgetary. The municipalities can barely afford to cover the cost of services they need to provide,she said, thanks to decreasing returns on excise taxes and state funding.

To combat that, she said she supports the consolidation of services like emer-gency dispatch and school administra-tion.

“This is the worst economic downturn since the 1930s,” Villa said. “Times are tough for all of us, and I think Cumberland County can find a way to lessen municipalities’ burden.”

After 3 years of preparation, ‘Of Farms and Fables’ to debutBy Amy Anderson

CAPE ELIZABETH — After planting the concept, doing hands-on research and growing strong relationships, farm-ers and artists in October will perform an original play about local agriculture, farming and the future of small family farms in Maine.

Created by Jennie Hahn of Thomas-ton, “Of Farms and Fables” is a project within Open Waters Theatre Arts, an organization that uses professional and non-professional artists to promote com-munication and cultural exchange via theatrical productions.

Hahn said it took three years to de-velop the project, and special care went

into introducing professional artists to farming practices and farm workers to storytelling.

Hahn said “Of Farms and Fables” started as a discussion with Penny Jor-dan of Jordan’s Farm. They formed an advisory board, wrote grants, hosted fundraising events and spread the word about the project.

They also invited two other farms to participate: Broadturn Farm in Scarborough, and Benson Farm in Gorham. Each farm is different and

The apple doesn’t fall very farRecently, as I was taking one of my long and me-

andering beach walks, I found myself enshrouded in fog, and sooner than anticipated – darkness. As usual, I was barefoot (my favorite state of being, al-though not with the “and pregnant” part attached).

As I headed back in the direction of my car, toe-deep in the Atlantic, with neither an actual flash-light or newly downloaded iPhone “flashlight app” to assist in my navigation, I came upon what appeared in gray evening shadows to be a minefield of beach rocks, stretching on end-lessly. And I said aloud to my naked feet, “Ouch. This is going to hurt. How did I get us into this predicament?”

A celebration was in order, and shortly after hitting “send” on my MacBook and launching all 70,271 words into cyberspace, I was en route to meet with a friend. Walking back into my kitchen two hours later, I was greeted by a glum-looking Harold and Charles, who spewed forth the news that the Apple computer legend, Steve Jobs, had died.

Now, it’s not as if we were really tight with Steve. He didn’t pop in for dinner when he was on the East Coast. But it somehow felt that way. Maybe it was the fact that, like Drew, he had died of pancreatic cancer. Maybe it was that every word I’d written since being widowed had been on a Mac. Maybe it’s because they were both too young. Too full of creativity. Too full of life to have left this earth.

All I know is, tears filled my eyes.The realization that I’d finished my book on the

same day that the man who was the genius behind the computer upon which I’d typed every single word had breathed his last breath filled me with a knowing. That we are all connected. Intertwined.

And like my walk on that stony beach, our path to-ward our future isn’t as impossible as it may sometimes appear. And if we look for the sand in between the stones, and take one small step at a time, we can reach our destiny.

When I’d arrived at sunset, I’d circumvented the large expanses of rocks that littered the beach. But now here I was in the darkness, up against a sea of stone, with no apparent way out. But as I began to walk, I noticed that what once appeared to be a solid mass of rocks wasn’t; the spaces of soft sand in between were more abundant and frequent than they looked from a distance. And in the gray light of a non-existent moon, I realized that if I focused on each footstep, I would reach my destination.

And what seemed at first to be an impossible task, wasn’t. And as I kept my attention on the present mo-ment rather than on the thousands of cold, hard ob-stacles that lay between myself and my automobile, I realized the “obstacle” was an illusion.

And it struck me that in life, we fall prey to the same thing, but on a larger scale. When we are dealt a tough hand, when we peer into the future, it often appears daunting, even impossible. We wonder how we’ll make it. We wonder how we’ll survive. And sometimes, we want to give up.

Eleven days after my foggy and enlightening beach walk, I accomplished a huge goal: I penned the final words to my first book, “The Irreverent Widow.” All 12 tweaked chapters were sent off into the ether, to my editor, 3,000 miles away. My love, my tears, my laughter, my lessons. It was not merely the culmination of much hard work, but the end of a chapter of my life. My widowhood chapter.

I’d set a goal for myself: to have this first book com-pleted and off to my editor before my October birthday.

And so, four days before my self-imposed deadline, I’d done it.

This made me smile, and do a little (OK, big!) happy dance. It also made me weep. Because when you actu-ally keep your promises to yourself – when you make your dreams a reality – it can be overwhelming.

Beem is wrong about smart meters

Edgar Allen Beem’s column, “Worried about wire-less,” is just plain wrong. He talks about, “individual sensitivity to radio frequency exposure.” We have had radio transmitters since around 1890, about 120 years now. In that time nobody has ever been proved to be sensitive to “radio frequency exposure.” There are people who claim to be sensitive, but claiming is one thing, proving it is another. If you put a person claiming to be sensitive in one room and in another room you

transmit at random times, the person will not be able to tell you when the transmitter is on. End of debate.

Once you understand that there is no such thing as radio transmis-sion sensitivity and that there are no valid health risks, all the arguments against smart meters fade away.

I also do not agree with Beem’s assertion that people who opt out of the program should not have to pay extra. Quite the contrary, I feel they should pay more. I

think the PUC should require CMP to tally up the costs each year for all the meter readers, their vehicles, their benefits, etc. The total cost should then be divided by the opt-outs number and that cost should be added to their bills. I also suggest that the possible hundreds of thousands of dollars CMP wasted

defending the smart meter program for the past year should also be passed along to the opt-outs.

New Scarborough school is the wise choice

Building a new Wentworth School in Scarborough is a matter of spending wisely once, or spending inef-ficiently multiple times.

The existing Wentworth costs us every year with Band-Aid solutions for a building that ultimately needs to be replaced. The building is not meeting current standards regarding asbestos, mold, and radon. There are no sprinklers in 75 percent of the school – can you imagine the insurance costs associated with a building full of children who are not nominally protected? Or the outcry if there is ever a tragedy?

We are also spending 46 percent more to heat Went-worth than oth-er schools in our community.

Geothermal energy is estimated to reduce heating cost by 40 percent, and takes market volatility out of the budget equation. A courtyard design means more win-dows, more natural light, and less energy costs.

Let’s buy once, rather than spend millions now and have to spend it all over again and then some in a few years’ time. Vote for a new Wentworth.

Scarborough rep sees problem where none exists

Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough, continues to push her and her fellow Republicans’ solution to a nonex-istent problem. As (Republican) Secretary of State Charlie Summers recently confirmed, there is simply no evidence of statistically significant voter fraud oc-curring as a result of Maine’s decades-old same-day voter registration law.

How Volk can continue to support this – after having been proved wrong – is beyond me. I expect better of the woman representing me in the state House.

Public spirit on Scarborough BeachScarborough Beach is my favorite place in all the

world. I started going there 50 years ago when old Mrs. Jordan used to sit by the rickety bridge in her beach wagon collecting parking fees. Look for my ashes to wash up on the sands there one of these days. I do not take threats to it lightly.

So you might assume I’d be opposed to the Black Point Beach Park the Sprague Corp. has proposed there. I am not. Quite to the contrary, I applaud the public-spiritedness of the Sprague Corp. in offer-ing to create more and better public access to the most beautiful beach in Maine.

The Black Point Beach Park proposal has been met with predict-able NIMBYism from self-interested neighbors, the condo dwellers of the Atlantic House com-plex and the old money cottagers of the Prouts Neck summer colony. But the unwashed public, you and me, should be thrilled and grateful that public access may continue to trump private privilege on Scarborough Beach.

The Sprague Corp., 68 descendants of Phineas W. Sprague and their spouses, own 2,200 acres along the Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough shore and, to their everlasting credit, they are willing to share it. Crescent Beach State Park was created on Sprague land back in 1960. For years, Scarborough Beach State Park was just a 66-foot strip of state-owned land that gave access to beach actually owned by the Sprague family. Since 1993, the Sprague Corp. has managed the state park and, in 1999, it sold the park to the state.

Anyone who, like myself, has a season pass to Scarborough Beach knows that the parking shortage and resultant traffic backup on Black Point Road has become an issue on hot summer days in recent years. The upper lot fills, the lower lot fills, the overflow lot across the street fills, and, when the 410 parking spots are full, cars cue up along the busy road to wait their turn.

To alleviate this problem, the Sprague Corp. pro-posed a 370-car grass lot with snack bar and bath-rooms on 62 acres just north of Scarborough Beach State Park. The town granted the special exemption

permit required and was promptly sued by the furious forces of the status quo.

Opponents of the park would have us believe they are concerned about preserving habitat for piping plo-ver and New England cottontails, but there are no rab-bits on that parcel of land now and no plovers nested on Scarborough Beach last year. What opponents are really concerned about is preserving their privacy and privilege. I was once thrown out of Prouts Neck by an old battle-ax who was the self-appointed defender of this privacy and privilege, so I know whereof I speak.

The Sprague Corp. could have proposed building a dozen homes or two dozen condos on its land, a far more lucrative way to go and one we can assume the Atlantic House and Prouts Neck gentry would have applauded. Instead, the Spragues, traitors to their class, proposed a public park.

From where I sit (in a beach chair to the left of the beach path and to the right of the lifeguard tower) it looks as though everyone will win when Black Point Beach Park is approved, except perhaps the NIMBY neighbors.

The public will get more and better access to a very special place. The town will see its Comprehensive Plan, which calls for more shoreland access, realized. The Sprague Corp. will get a revenue stream to help maintain their property holdings that, in turn, preserve open space. And the folks at Prouts Neck will see traf-fic congestion along Black Point Road relieved.

The farmer who tills the Sprague land will gain a source of water that will open up more Sprague fields to cultivation. The piping plovers, should they return to nest, will benefit from greater management and the prohibition against dogs that will come with the park. And the New England cottontails will have three acres of habit restored, though a whole herd of them seem quite content, thank you very much, living on Sprague land just across the Spurwink River in Cape Elizabeth.

Hats off to the Sprague family. In a day and age when the common good is regularly rejected and ridiculed by the self-satisfied, self-important, self-in-terested squires of the status quo, the Spragues (at least the branch of the family that inherited Phineas W.’s land) have remained civic-minded, public-spirited and willing to share the wealth.

Thomas Bakker, 71: Homebuilder, dedicated to communitySOUTH PORTLAND — Thomas Bak-

ker, 71, died at home with family by his side on Oct. 6 after a brief illness.

Born June 3, 1940, the son of Vassel and Marion Bakker of Whitinsville, Mass., he graduated from Northbridge High School. He served four years in the U.S. Air Force, and greatly enjoyed being sta-tioned in Anchorage, Alaska, and Tacoma, Wash.

In 1961 he married Joan Winslow of

South Portland, and settled in South Port-land in 1965, where he had a successful career as a home builder and remodeler. Known for his attention to detail and care not to waste materials, he called himself “the frugal Dutchman.”

Over the years he bought and remodeled two apartment buildings, which he owned and maintained.

Retail or Resale: Can you tell the difference?Shoppers with an eye on Monolo

Blahnik shoes or a Louis Vuitton handbag may want to turn to consignment stores to realize good deals on designer duds. Con-signment stores are surging in popularity all across the country. Many look the same as mainstream retailers and are taking a chunk of their business profits, too.

Consignment stores no longer carry the stigma they once did. Instead of grandma prints and last, last, last seasons’ styles, fashion-forward shops now offer a selec-tion of gently used brand-name and very often designer merchandise to a discerning clientele of shoppers. A shopper may even be able to find new items straight from a manufacturer’s warehouse.

Consignment shop innovators, such as DoubleTake (edoubletake.com), a grow-ing chain of consignment stores on the East Coast, regularly receive merchandise directly from designers, the wardrobe departments of television shows, and from socialites and fashionistas across the country. Says owner/operator Marci Kessler, who has been in the consignment business for more than 20 years, “I never anticipated such an overwhelming re-sponse. From day one we’ve had a steady continuous stream of beautiful designer merchandise that comes from people in

every imaginable situation, and because we have such a high turnover rate through fast sales in our stores, we’ve built up a base of over 10,000 regular consignors.”

What is the draw to consignment? For shoppers, it’s the ability to get very good quality merchandise at a discounted price. Typically, consigned items will sell for 25 to 50 percent of the original retail value, although each store varies in their policy. Some stores will continue to mark down items the longer they’re in the shop.

For sellers, consignment stores offer the opportunity to have their merchandise on display and receive a portion of the prof-its. Most stores will sell consigned items and split the profits at 40 to 60 percent. This can make it easy for individuals with closets full of items that are not in use to make some extra money.

“Many women in the fashion industry or socialites need to turn over their ward-robes frequently,” offers Kessler. “These people would rather make some money than have items sit in their closets.”

Consignment stores are big business. According to the Association of Resale Professionals, there are currently more than 30,000 resale, consignment and thrift

shops in the United States. The industry has also experienced a growth --ap-proximately 7 percent a year for the past two years. Plus, with real estate prices at all-time lows, many enterprising people are taking advantage of low rents and opening up consignment stores all across the country.

Don’t think consignment stores are glorified yard sales, either. Most stores will not accept items that are out-of-date or too much out of season. Some shops won’t carry merchandise that is older than two years old.

In this economy, many people are look-ing to make or save money. Consignment stores can offer the best of both worlds.

SMCC golfer wins national titleSouthern Maine Com-

munity College sophomore Tommy Stirling won the individual national title and All-American honors at the United States Collegiate Ath-letic Association golf cham-pionship held at the Penn State University Blue Course in State College, Penn.

Stirling entered the US-CAAs ranked second in the nation with a 75.2 average. He opened the champion-ship with an even-par 72, which tied him for the lead. During Tuesday’s final round of play, Stirling shot a four-under 68 to claim the title. His total score of 140 bested second place by

four shots and included 13 birdies.

Joining Stirling with All-American honors is freshman Alex McFarlane, of Cape Elizabeth. The top five individual finish-ers qualify for the award. McFarlane finished tied for fifth after shooting a 1-un-der par 71.

“Tommy and Alex both played unbelievable golf for two days,” said first-year coach Tom Cloutier. “I couldn’t be more proud of the effort they put forth and the way in which they represented our program and Southern Maine Community College.”

Buckle up, playoffs coming right around the corner

(Ed. Note: For the complete Cape Elizabeth-Waynflete and South Portland-Cheverus boys’ soccer game stories, please visit theforecaster.net)By Michael Hoffer

Even though we were treated to a delicious taste of summer in recent days, the fall sports season is coming to a close.

Golf is in the process of de-termining its team and individ-ual champions. Field hockey’s playoffs begin this weekend, while soccer, volleyball and cross country will soon follow suit.

Here’s where things stand as we approach the middle of October:

GolfGolf held its team state cham-

pionships Monday at Natanis Golf Course in Vassalboro.

In Class A, Scarborough shot a 336 to come in fourth behind Falmouth (312), Cheverus (331) and Deering (332). Brendan Hall led the Red Storm with a 79. Dan Slavin shot an 85, Zach Pelczar 86 and Kyle Parrott 86. Hunter Sackville (98) also took part.

In Class B, Cape Elizabeth (357) wound up eighth behind York (322). Individual scores weren’t available at press time.

The golf season concludes Saturday, back at Natanis, with the individual championships. Scarborough’s Pelczar, Sackville and Slavin will all take part in the boys’ Class A match. Cape Elizabeth’s Reese McFarlane, Will LeBlond, Zander Schone-wolf and Connor Logan (83)

Cape, South Portland win again; Scarborough falls just shortBy Michael Hoffer

With only two weeks remain-ing in the regular season, local football teams remain in the middle of the playoff discus-sion.

Cape Elizabeth won its fifth straight game Saturday night, erupting for 34 straight points to erase an early deficit in a home triumph over Marshwood.

In the first-ever meeting be-tween the schools, the Capers went up 6-0 early on a short TD run by Andrew Lavallee. The Hawks then returned the ensuing kickoff for a score, but that only served to awaken Cape Elizabeth. Late in the first quarter, quarterback Connor Maguire hit Derek Roberts for a 57-yard scoring pass.

“We don’t pass the ball much, but when we do, we try to keep it as effective as possible and tonight it worked out pretty well,” said Maguire, who only

completed three passes, but they were all for touchdowns. “Obvi-ously, it was a team effort. Our receivers did a good job getting open tonight. I was happy I could put the ball in their hands and let them run.”

In the second period, the Capers got TDs from Donald Clark (27-yard run), Bill Brooks (45-yard pass from Maguire) and Roberts (6-yard pass from Maguire) to lead, 33-7. Brooks returned an on-sides kick to open the second half 52-yards for a score.

“We did expect an on-sides kick,” said Brooks. “We worked on it in practice yesterday. I said if they kick it to me, I’m not going to fall on it. I’m going to see what I can do with it. If I got tackled, I got tackled.”

Although Marshwood got a fourth quarter TD, Cape Eliza-

will vie for Class B honors.The girls’ match will include

Scarborough’s Kathleen Huff-ines and South Portland’s Eliza-beth Canarie.

Field hockeyField hockey’s regular season

has come to a close.In Western A, a familiar name,

Scarborough, will once again be the top seed for the playoffs. The Red Storm won, 5-0, at Noble last Thursday as Ellen Walker scored three times. Scarborough closed the regular season at home versus Ken-nebunk Wednesday.

South Portland was 1-12 (and 15th in the latest Heals, four spots out of the playoffs) enter-ing Wednesday’s home finale versus Noble. Last week, the Red Riots suffered losses to host Deering (2-1) and visiting Windham (3-0). Elizabeth Albert scored against the Rams.

In Western B, Cape Eliza-beth took a 2-10-1 mark into Wednesday’s final regular sea-son game at Wells. The Capers were 11th in the Heals and only 10 teams qualify, but with the Warriors clinging to 10th, a Cape Elizabeth victory would have likely meant a playoff spot. Last Friday, the Capers lost at Greely, 2-0. Tuesday night, they fell at home to Falmouth, 4-1 (Bella Robinson had the lone goal).

The preliminary round of the playoffs begins Saturday. The

quarterfinals are Tuesday and Wednesday.

Boys’ soccerScarborough’s boys’ soc-

cer team played its first game in eight days Tuesday and improved to 8-1-2 with a 7-2 home win over Westbrook. Jose Gonzalez Cantu, Austin Downing and Sam Cekada all had two goals. The Red Storm (first in the Western A Heals, as of Wednesday morning) went to Biddeford Thursday, hosts Sanford Saturday and closes the regular year at Massabesic Tuesday of next week.

South Portland continues to surge. The Red Riots rallied to tie host Cheverus, 1-1, last Thursday, as Nem Kaurin scored in the first minute of the second half and goalkeeper Shawn Shannon made the save of the season on a Stags’ breakaway in overtime.

“It was just two really good teams,” said Shannon. “Their goal, we’ve never had anyone that close on a corner kick. One goal was too many. It would have been a win for us if we had someone back there.”

“It was a great game,” said South Portland coach Bryan Hoy. “It was a great effort by my guys. By both teams, actually. Cheverus is a really good team. We’re a good team. It showed today. I thought they actually outplayed us. We did a good job

to stay in the game.”Saturday, the Red Riots held off visit-

ing Gorham in a playoff rematch, 2-1. Damjan Draskovic and Jack Lano each had a goal and an assist. Tuesday, South Portland improved to 8-2-2 (sixth in the standings) with a 2-0 win at Thornton Academy. Lano and Akiba Davis had the goals. The Red Riots hosted Portland Thursday and close at Marshwood Tues-day of next week.

Cape Elizabeth blanked visiting Po-land, 3-0, last Thursday (James Barlow scored twice, Macklin Sweeney once). Tuesday, the Capers fell to 6-4-2 after a frustrating 1-0 loss at Waynflete. Cape Elizabeth controlled play most of the game, but just couldn’t finish.

“We had quite a bit of possession, but it’s not getting us anywhere,” Capers coach Ben Raymond said. “We had plen-ty of chances. It’s frustrating, definitely. We’ve been in every single game all year. The level of competition doesn’t seem to matter. It’ll be a one-goal game no matter who we play. That’s an issue. We struggle in the offensive third without a doubt.”

Cape Elizabeth (fifth in the Western A Heals) has two huge games to close the season, Friday at home versus Greely and Tuesday of next week at Falmouth.

Playoffsfrom page 15

“This would have gone a long way to putting us in the right spot,” Raymond said. “Now, we’ll be eight or nine at best.”

In Western D, Greater Portland Chris-tian School was 7-5 and sixth in the Heals after a 7-1 home loss to Buckfield (Ryan Waugh had the goal) and a 10-1 victory at Acadia Christian last week. The Lions were home against Richmond Wednesday and close the regular season with a game at A.R. Gould Friday.

Girls’ soccerOn the girls’ side, Cape Elizabeth

improved to 10-0-2 Tuesday with a 5-1 home win over Waynflete. After the Fly-ers tied the game on a goal late in the first half, the Capers broke it open with four second half goals. Melanie Vangel had three for the game, while Talley Perkins and Maddie Riker also scored.

“I really love Cape so far,” said Van-gel, who transferred from Camden Hills. “There’s a lot more support with soccer. It’s more competitive and more exciting. I came in with the mindset to contribute a little more offense since I’m a forward.”

“Waynflete’s a good team,” said Cape Elizabeth coach Luke Krawczyk. “When they scored the goal, it woke us up a little bit. There really isn’t any pressure on us. The girls have done well. We’ve already surpassed what we wanted to do. The most important thing is to finish the

games with no injuries.”The Capers (clinging to first in the

Western A Heals as of Wednesday morn-ing) were coming off a 4-1 victory at Poland (a game which saw both Perkins and Vangel score twice). After going to Greely Friday, Cape Elizabeth finishes the regular season at home versus Fal-mouth Tuesday of next week.

“We’re really looking forward to play-offs,” Vangel said. “We want to keep our undefeated record until playoffs, then hopefully keep going from there. It would be so much fun to have homefield advantage.”

Defending Class A state champion Scarborough blanked Noble (10-0) and McAuley (6-0), both on the road last week to improve to 8-1-2 (fourth in the standings). Against the Knights, Andrea

Tolman and Hadlee Yescott both had three goals. Tolman, Haley Carignan and Meghan Tyson all had a pair of goals in the win over the Lions. The Red Storm hosted Westbrook Thursday, visits Bid-deford Saturday and closes at home against Massabesic Tuesday.

South Portland lost 5-1 to Gorham last week (Emily Masters had the Red Riots’ goal), then fell at home to Massabesic, 2-1, Tuesday to drop to 5-5-1 (ninth in the standings). Masters had the lone goal. South Portland was home with Thornton Academy Wednesday, visits Portland Saturday and closes at home versus Marshwood Tuesday of next week.

beth rolled, 40-15.“The guys don’t play too emotionally

high or get nervous or scared,” Capers coach Aaron Filieo said. “We’ll play any-one at anytime and play our best.”

Cape Elizabeth (5-1 and third behind Wells and Mountain Valley in the latest Western Class B Crabtree Points stand-ings) is at 2-4 Fryeburg Saturday and closes at home against defending Class B champion Mountain Valley Oct. 21.

“We have to get healthy,” Filieo said. “That’s always our thing. We’re getting there. With injuries you find guys to step up and get experience. Mountain Valley’s going to be a tough test for us. I think Wells is playing well. It should be a fun, interesting postseason.”

Also riding a five-game win streak, its first this century, is South Portland. The Red Riots enjoyed their third straight romp last Thursday, 35-7, over visiting Kennebunk.

After a scoreless first period, South Portland was up 14-7 at halftime thanks to a short TD run from Joey DiBiase and a Michael Salvatore-to-Dan Medici scor-ing pass. Two Salvatore-to-Logan Gaddar TD passes in the third period opened it up and the Red Riots accounted for the final score when Salvatore scored on a run in the fourth.

“We did well coming back from a short week,” said South Portland coach Steve Stinson. “Kennebunk is good defensively and very aggressive. We kept knocking. Eventually our balance on offense was the difference. That’s our biggest strength right now.

“Michael’s done a nice job. He’s a great kid. He’s embraced the quarterback position. He’s a leader. The kids have such confidence in him. He’s really en-joying football. His throwing is coming along. He does great things with his feet.”

The Red Riots (5-1) are second to

Cheverus in the Western A Crabtrees. They go to resurgent 3-3 Windham Fri-day and close at Portland.

“We’re very excited for the Windham game,” Stinson said. “I told the kids that every game from here on out is a playoff game. Windham’s very good defensively. They’re extremely well coached. They’re finding their feel offensively. They’re physical. It’ll be a great contest. All we can do now is take care of ourselves. Peo-ple are feeling good about the program. There’s so much pride now from second grade through the 12th grade.”

Scarborough is suddenly in jeopardy of missing the postseason after dropping its third in a row last Thursday, 14-7, to visiting Deering.

The Red Storm gave up touchdowns on the Rams’ first two possessions, then didn’t surrender another point. Scarborough pulled within 14-7 when Dillon Russo hit David Conceison with a TD pass in the second quarter, but despite ample opportunities, couldn’t draw even and went down to the frustrating defeat.

“Once we settled down on defense, it was kind of back and forth,” said Scarborough coach Lance Johnson. “We just couldn’t get it done. We had our chances. We had great field position. We played good defense and kept punt-ing the ball deep. I thought sooner or later, we’d get one to tie it up, but we just couldn’t get one when we needed to.”

The Red Storm (2-4 and 11th in the Western A Crabtrees, only eight teams qualify for the playoffs) has a great chance to earn some big points Saturday when it visits 5-1 Thornton Academy. Scarborough finishes the regular season at Gorham.

Richmond Wednesday in the regular season finale.

VolleyballScarborough’s volleyball team will

likely be ranked third for the Class A tournament. The Red Storm has won three straight matches and is 11-2. Last Wednesday, Scarborough downed Cony in three games (25-14, 25-8, 25-15), as Brittany Bona had 10 kills, Emily Rob-bins 20 assists, Rachel Webber 19 ser-vices points and eight aces and Meghan Bickmore 18 service points.

Last Friday, the Red Storm beat host Cape Elizabeth in four games (25-12, 24-26, 25-17, 25-10). In that one, Bona had 10 kills, six digs and six aces, Robbins 15 assists and Hallie O’Donnell 11 assists.

Tuesday, Scarborough defeated host Yarmouth in three close games (25-23, 25-20, 25-21). Bona had 15 kills and seven assists, Robbins 27 assists and Bickmore eight service receptions. The Red Storm closed the regular season at home Thursday versus defending Class A champion Biddeford.

Cape Elizabeth has shown nice im-provement this fall, but will likely finish out of the playoffs. The Capers lost in four games to Scarborough last week, then downed Cony, 3-0, Tuesday to im-prove to 4-9 and ninth in the region. Cape Elizabeth closes at home Friday against Lake Region.

Cross countryThe cross country regular season has

come to a close for Cape Elizabeth. Last weekend, the Capers joined Falmouth and Yarmouth at Greely, where the girls (ranked seventh in the latest coaches’ poll) were second and the boys fourth. Individually, Catherine Tierney came in fifth in the girls’ race with a time of 21 minutes, 37 seconds. On the boys’ side, Liam Simpson was 13th (18:03). Cape Elizabeth next takes part in the Western Maine Conference championship meet Friday in Falmouth.

Scarborough (with Thornton Acad-emy) went to Cheverus last Friday. The second-ranked boys came in first and the girls were second to the Stags. Wout Moulin won the boys’ meet in 17:14. Maggie Smith (sixth, 21:22) was the top female. The Red Storm will host Bonny Eagle, Gorham, Westbrook and Windham in the regular season finale Friday.

South Portland joined Bonny Eagle and Biddeford at Marshwood last weekend. The boys (ranked seventh by the coaches) came in first. The girls’ team was third. The Red Riots join city rivals Cheverus, Deering and Portland at a regular season-ending meet at McAuley Friday.

The regional championships are sched-uled for Saturday, Oct. 22, at Twin Brook in Cumberland. The state championships are Saturday, Sept. 29, also at Twin Brook.Sports editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

Top picks: Laura Kargul and ‘Sleepy Hollow’By Scott Andrews

The fall season’s artistic offerings con-tinue in full force this week with a variety of happenings. My personal pick of this weekend’s events is the annual October appearance of classical pianist Laura Kargul, a longtime professor at the Univer-sity of Southern Maine School of Music. She’s appearing this Friday in Gorham in the Spotlight Series, which features the school’s faculty.

Portland Ballet will reprise one of its original terpsichorean creations on Satur-day with two performances of “The Leg-end of Sleepy Hollow” at a new venue, the Westbrook Performing Arts Center.

Denny Breau, a 10-time honoree of the Maine Country Music Association and the youngest inductee of the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame, will perform Saturday in an archetypal country venue: the Saco River Grange Hall in Bar Mills.

Laura KargulAmong my personal favorite events

of the fall season is the almost-annual concert given by pianist Laura Kargul in the Spotlight Series of the University of Southern Maine School of Music. She’s the top piano prof at the school, plus she’s passionate about performing the Romantic repertoire, a sub-genre of classical music that flourished in the 1800s.

Her personal favorite is Franz Liszt, Hungarian-born virtuoso performer and composer who was a musical rock star of his age in the capitals of 19th-century Europe. He’s also the archetype of the 19th-century hero: Most of his voluminous output was written for his own perfor-mances and he is credited with making the solo recital an important feature of the cultural landscape.

Technically speaking, his style is charac-terized by bold harmonic experimentation and the use of recurring musical motives that thematically pervade his compositions.

On Oct. 22, the musical world will cele-brate the 200th anniversary of Liszt’s birth

A romantic triangle plus a headless horseman are

among the salient features of Portland Ballet’s

production of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which

will be performed twice on Saturday at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center.

with concerts and other performances. Here in southern Maine, the big celebra-tion will be Kargul’s all-Liszt concert this Friday.

Kargul will perform solo piano selec-tions including the stunning, poetic mas-terpiece “Blessing of God in Solitude” and the virtuosic tour de force, the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12.

Kargul will also present several of Liszt’s piano transcriptions of works by other composers including the monumental “Liebestod” of Richard Wagner, Robert Schumann’s “Widmung” and the dazzling opera paraphrase of “Lucia di Lammer-moor” by Gaetano Donizetti.

A resident of Freeport, Kargul has ap-peared as a soloist, chamber musician, adjudicator, lecturer and master class tech-nician throughout Europe and the U.S. plus Canada and the West Indies. Her solo per-formances have been greeted with critical acclaim in venues such as the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Diligentia Theater in Den Haag, the Schleswig-Holstein and Nordhessen music festivals in Germany, Evian Music Festival in France and the

Lesvos Arts Festival in Greece.Known especially for her performances

of Liszt, she is one of very few artists ever invited to perform a full recital on the composer’s own Bechstein piano at the Liszt-Haus in Weimar, Germany. She has also released a solo CD of his transcrip-tions, “Liszt and Ravel: Transcriptions for Piano.”

Kargul has been the director of the keyboard program at USM since 1989. Audience members will be enlightened and entertained by her comments from the stage.

Catch this wonderful concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 14 at Corthell Hall on the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham campus. Call the music box office at 780-5555.

‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’Halloween is quickly approaching, so

a headless horseman seems like a natu-ral way to anticipate the occasion. But a headless ballet dancer? Well, perhaps you should check out “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” an original terpsichorean creation of Portland Ballet which will be performed twice on Saturday in Westbrook.

“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” pre-miered in the 2010 season and features original choreography by Nell Shipman and original music by Kirt Mosier, written on special commission. A live orchestra, conducted by Robert Lehmann, will ac-company both performances of this classic ballet.

The ballet is based on the famous tale of the same name, published by American au-thor Washington Irving in 1820. The story takes place in a town in New York called Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod Crane is a very nervous and superstitious schoolteacher. He is in love with the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel. But so is a romantic rival: Brom Bones. Katrina apparently loves Ichabod, but she also seems attracted to Brom Bones. It’s a classic romantic triangle, and something has to give.

What happens is totally surprising. One evening after a party at the Van Tassels’ home, Ichabod is pursued by the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a soldier who had his head shot off in a long-ago battle and now haunts the area. Ichabod disappears and Katrina marries Brom Bones. Was Brom Bones really the Headless Horseman who chased off his rival? Or did Ichabod’s overly vivid imagination simply run amok? You decide.

The part of Ichabod Crane will be re-prised by dancer Derek Clifford. The part of Brom Bones and the Headless Horse-man will be danced by Joseph Jefferies. Jen Jones will portray Katrina Van Tassel. There’s a supporting cast of about two dozen.

Portland Ballet presents “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” at the new Westbrook Performing Arts Center (at the middle school at 471 Stroudwater St.) twice on Oct. 15, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Denny BreauThe Saco River Grange Hall, former

center of agriculture and old-time rural cul-ture in Bar Mills, is one of Maine’s homi-est arts centers. So it’s doubly appropriate that Saturday’s featured performer is one of the Pine Tree State’s favorite musicians.

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Denny Breau has been honored by the Maine Country Music Association 10 times: Songwriter of the Year, Entertainer of the Year and eight times as Instrumentalist of the Year. He’s also the youngest inductee of the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame.

Breau’s rhythmically flawless and dazzlingly clear style allows him to do amazing things with a six-string guitar. At first he’ll draw an audience into his musi-cal world with a finely arranged melody, and then slides effortlessly into scorching finger work that sets ears aflame. Lighting-fast guitar lines are balanced with guitar work with a quiet intimacy that wraps tenderly around carefully crafted songs.

Breau mixes genres with ease: folk, Delta blues, country and jazz. Plus he’s an engaging storyteller. For Saturday’s concert he’ll be accompanied by a flutist and bass guitarist.

Catch Denny Breau at the Saco River Grange Hall (29 Salmon Falls Road in the Bar Mills village of Buxton) at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15. Call 929-6472.

School fundingfrom page 1



ran out last year.Despite the increase, towns where

property valuation were higher than the state’s overall 2 percent loss, could see their GPA drop.

Cape Elizabeth is expected to see a $245,000 reduction in funding, a 10.6 percent loss over last year’s nearly $2.3 million subsidy. Scarborough will also see a reduction, but of only $2,300, an almost negligible 0.04 percentage drop from last year’s $4.7 million subsidy.

“We will be building it into the bud-get as we move forward,” said Cape Elizabeth Superintendent Meredith Nadeau. “It’s no great surprise that funding is limited.”

Chebeague Island may see a drop of $3,800, a 2.6 percent reduction.

Other districts will likely see increas-es in state aid. Portland is estimated to see a nearly $1.2 million increase; South Portland, nearly $623,000, and RSU 1, which covers the towns of Bath, West Bath, Arrowsic, Phippsburg and Woolwich, is estimated to see a $904,000 increase.

Some districts may see more mod-est increases. SAD 75, which includes Harpswell, Topsham, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham, could see a $408,000 in-crease; Brunswick, $244,000; SAD 51, which covers Cumberland and North

observed by school staff.The new rules would also require a

nurse to examine a child he or she has been restrained, and require parents be notified annually of a school’s policy on the use of restraint and seclusion.

“What we’ve got here is pretty fan-tastic,” Smith Howard said of the pro-posed rule changes. “It’s better than a majority of other states.”

However, she said she would have liked to have seen the new rules pro-hibit schools from including restraint in a student’s individual education plan, or IEP. Currently, schools can include restraint as part of a student’s plan, and Smith Howard said that can result in “planned” restraints, something dis-ability rights advocates would like to

Yarmouth, $118,000, and Yarmouth, $68,000.

While at first glance, Falmouth’s pro-jected increase of $1.6 million seems to top the list of increases, the district’s finance director, Dan O’Shea, said the increase is attributed to a new elemen-tary school that opened this year, paid for by state funds.

“These figures don’t take into ac-count any current-year enrollment changes – which will show increases over last year and should mean ad-ditional funds – or other adjustments, so we need to look at it with caution,” O’Shea said.

The state’s share of interest on the bond for the $37.7 million Falmouth Elementary School is estimated at $1.6 million.

“So essentially, (it means) flat fund-ing for Falmouth with that factor re-moved,” O’Shea said.

This is only the second year the DOE has released preliminary estimates aimed at assisting schools in the budget process. The numbers could change before they are finalized, depending largely on enrollment and whether the Legislature makes additional changes to the funding formula.Emily Parkhurst can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 125

see disappear.Some members of the stakeholder

group also fought to include report-ing requirements, which would have schools report the number of restraints performed and how many students were restrained every year.

“So, that way (the DOE) could figure out, does a school have a problem, and if it is a problem, why is that the case,” Smith Howard said.

Currently, Maine schools are not re-quired to report any data about restraint and seclusion of students. Other states, such as Connecticut and Texas, do re-quire this kind of reporting.

Smith Howard said the members of the stakeholder group supported the re-porting requirements, but that the DOE did not want to require it. She said her

group would lobby the Legislature to include the requirement in the rules it will review and ultimately approve, likely in the next session.

The DRC, which frequently repre-sents parents when they file a complaint about the use of restraint and seclusion, also pushed to include a formal com-plaint process in the new rules.

“We’ve had 50 complaints in the last two years,” Smith Howard said, add-ing that in the past two weeks alone the DRC has received six restraint- or seclusion-related complaints from parents.

She pointed to budget cuts, which have forced districts to lay off the ed techs who work one-on-one with dis-abled students or those with behavior problems, as part of the problem.

Deb Davis, a Falmouth resident, stakeholder group member and parent of a child who experienced seclusion and restraint, said she has had several parents call her since she began advo-cating for students.

“In one story, a mom’s son was in

seclusion for five hours,” Davis said. “Even though it’s not in the news, it’s happening every day. There are kids being hurt.”

She said she is cautiously optimistic that the DOE will accept the recom-mendations the group put together.

“I do think we worked really hard to protect kids,” Davis said.

Once the DOE puts together its pro-posed changes and presents them to the education commissioner, the public will have 30 days to comment before a leg-islative committee takes up the issue.

DOE spokesman David Connerty-Marin said the department is not ready to comment on the proposed changes, since the stakeholder group only fin-ished meeting last week.

However, he said there would be multiple public hearings, probably in November and December, on the rule changes before they’re sent to the Leg-islature, followed by legislative hear-ings next year.

‘Of Farms and Fables’from page 6

brings a new perspective to what it means to live and work in the agricultural indus-try, Hahn said.

With the help of Hahn, playwright

Cory Tamler and company manager Claire Guyer, actors and farmers par-ticipated in a 12-week work exchange program. It was an opportunity for farm-ers to learn about acting and for actors to learn about farming, Hahn said.

“What takes time is building meaning-ful and thoughtful relationships with the

farmers,” she said. “The work exchange was the beginning of that process. It al-lowed us to gather farming stories and experience hands-on, practical learning about what it means to work on the farms.”

The third and final phase of the pro-gram was writing and editing the play,

reading through it and creating the pro-duction team, she said.

“My whole goal is to represent mul-tiple view points on a conversation that impacts everybody,” she said. “The core of the play is about farmer perspectives and their lives more than the consumer or political perspective.”

She said the play also focuses on the complexities of running a small business and the theme of farm transfer.

“On a larger societal level, it speaks to how we pass on valuable things to the next generation while allowing for the possibility of change,” she said. “It is about how the transfer of land, knowl-edge and lifestyle is a complex issue.”

Seeing the growth and change in the participants over the past three years, building relationships and having fun despite challenges and complexities has been rewarding to Hahn.

“I got into this work to challenge myself to work with people I might ever meet or know otherwise,” she said. “As a fairly shy person, it’s a big deal for me when I put myself out there and to hear all these fabulous stories. To be invited into a world I once knew nothing about is the biggest reward.”

The project is funded by The MAP Fund, a competitive national grant pro-gram for contemporary performance; the Maine Arts Commission; the Maine Humanities Council, and the Ella Lyman Cabot Trust. The ROiL theater group, Cape Farm Alliance, Maine Farmland Trust, Scarborough Land Conserva-tion Trust, Cultivating Community and Threshold to Maine have provided ad-ditional support.

A preview performance is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. Regular performances will be Friday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 29, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 30, at 2 p.m.

The play will be performed at Camp Ketcha, 336 Black Point Road, Scarborough. Tickets are $15 per person or pay what you can. For more informa-tion call 883-8977 or visit campketcha.com.

Comment on this story at:http://www.theforecaster.net/weblink/102819 Rett awareness

October was designated Rett Syndrome Awareness Month for the first time in 1992. Since then, the condition has become more well known. In recent years, Country music singer Clint Black, who lost his niece to Rett syn-drome, has held benefit concerts to spread the word and raise money to help find a cure. For more information, or to find ways to help, visit The International Rett Syndrome Foundation at rettsyndrome.org.

she was picked up all the time, because everyone spoke for her,” Nee said. “She was doted on.”

A team from the state’s Child De-velopment Services came to assess Annie. They suspected she simply had developmental delays and recommended physical therapy. Annie started to walk at around 18 months, but in early 2003, the family’s pediatrician told Katie and Dickie she suspected Annie had Rett syndrome.

“Dickie and I looked it up on the com-puter, but we didn’t think that was it. We didn’t want to believe it,” Nee said.

Over time, the doctor’s hunch was proved right. The development Annie had achieved with her therapists reversed, eventually leaving her speechless and unable to control her body.

Daily lifeThe Nees try to give Annie a normal

life.Most days, the bus picks her up at

home and brings her to Wentworth, where she spends much of her day in special education and therapy. When possible, Annie is “mainstreamed,” and joins the other students for art or music classes.

“She really thrives seeing other kids,” Nee said. “The mainstreaming is so im-portant for her.”

Annie does have some motor control, but her limitations require immense patience. At school, Annie utilizes a “switch,” a large button she can press

to indicate “yes” or “no” to options pre-sented to her.

“It takes a while, but she can eventu-ally hit what she wants,” Dickie Nee said. “You have to wait for her. In the morning, you can ask if she wants an egg or toast, and if you wait long enough, she’ll focus on the one she wants.”

But no matter what efforts are made to give Annie a normal life, there’s always the fear of something going wrong.

Annie suffers from seizures, another symptom common with Rett syndrome. Between her condition and all her medi-cal appointments, someone always has to be ready to take care of Annie, wherever she is.

Not long after Annie was diagnosed, Katie Nee quit her job at Unum to take full-time care of Annie and the Nees’ second-youngest child, 15-year-old Coleman, who suffered brain damage after surgical complications when he was younger. Dickie kept his job as manager of Cavalry Cemetery in South Portland.

Life was made even harder when the Nees’ oldest son, Seamus, died at age 19 in a car accident in April 2003, within weeks of Annie’s diagnosis.

The combination of the two youngest children’s medical conditions and the untimely death of Seamus was trying on his family, Dickie Nee said, but there wasn’t much time to grieve or feel sorry for themselves.

“Sometimes we take a step back and look at it and just think, ‘this is crazy,’”

he said. “But we don’t have time to think about it. We just have to deal with it.”

A measured hopeIn August, Annie was selected for the

first round of testing a growth hormone that may help her live a more normal life.

In 2007, a scholarly paper was pub-lished describing how a British doctor had successfully reversed many of the physical symptoms of Rett syndrome in lab mice.

“Mice normally live for a couple of years, and it was no different for our reversed mice,” Dr. Adrian Bird told the Rett Syndrome Research Trust in a 2008 interview. “In other words, reversal of both male and female symptoms was very effective indeed.”

The mice had been treated with a growth hormone known as RGF1, which is commonly used to treat underdevel-oped children. Doctors and researchers

at Boston Children’s Hospital hope the treatment will work as well for children with Rett syndrome as it did on the mice.

The Nees spent much of August in Boston while Annie underwent toxicity testing, which gradually increased the hormone dosage over three weeks to en-sure there were no dangerous side effects.

After watching videos of the Rett mice before and after treatment, the Nees are cautiously optimistic the hormone will help their daughter.

“In the video, the mice are wringing their hands, they have weak muscles,” Dickie Nee said. “After they give them the growth hormone, the hand wringing went away, the muscle tone came back. It’s just wild.”

The Nees said that while they’re opti-mistic the hormone will help some, more needs to be done to ensure scientists and doctors have the resources they need to find a cure.

“We just want to help get the word out,” Dickie Nee said. “They almost have an answer to curing this. The only thing to stop them is money.”

In January, Annie will start a full treat-ment for five months. Annie parents dream of an all-out cure, but if there’s one thing they wish, aside from good health, it’s to be able to have a conversa-tion with their daughter.

“Communication is more important than anything,” Katie Nee said. “If I could just know how she feels, what she wants to do.”
