Oyster farming expands in Scarborough RiverBy David Harry

New and familiar candidates remake Nov. ballotBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — The road from the June primaries to the Nov. 6 general election has taken several twists in local leg-islative races.

In Maine Senate District 7, comprised of South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and the eastern portion of Scarborough, Repub-lican Gary Crosby has dropped out of the race in favor of Mike Wallace.

Both men are from South Port-land. Crosby, a local business-man, said he considered himself a”placeholder” candidate in the primary season.

Wallace, who now works as a prep chef and has also worked in the information technology field, faces Democrat Rebecca Millett of Cape Elizabeth in the Nov. 6 election for the seat vacated by Democratic Sen. Cynthia Dill.

Dill is seeking the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe.

Wallace will also serve in the state GOP delegation supporting the presidential nomination of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, at the Republican national convention in Tampa, Fla., Aug. 27-30.

approved July 16 by the Maine Department of Marine Resourc-es, with a three-year lease on a site adjacent to 4.5 acres she already uses to moor floating mesh bags of virginicus oysters.

Carroll will gain more room for the second stage of oyster cultivation, in a setting DMR officials have determined pro-vides plenty of water flow and

nutrients for her crops, without interfering with navigation or other river uses.

She and Scarborough Harbor Master Dave Corbeau are look-ing to use space on the Pine Point Municipal Pier for the first stage of growth, which oc-curs in oyster nurseries called upwellers. Carroll’s upwellers are now at the Biddeford Pool

TD Beach to Beacon co-founder and 1984 Olympic gold medalist, Joan Benoit Samuelson, left, will run the 15th annual race this year with more than 6,000 others.

By Will Graff CAPE ELIZABETH — The

state’s largest road race will take place for the 15th time Saturday with an expected 6,000 runners and one of the deepest and sto-ried fields in race history.

This year’s TD Beach to Beacon 10K will also include an Olympic gold medalist: race co-founder Joan Benoit Samuelson.

Samuelson will run alongside people from 16 different countries and 44 states, a field she has seen triple in size since she founded the race 15 years ago.

“One of the great things I think the race has done is pull runners off the sidelines,” the Freeport resident and Cape Elizabeth native said Tuesday. “That’s led to a very successful, almost too successful, race over the years.”

Although the race has grown to become one of the fastest and most competitive 10K races in the world, she said the biggest takeaway for her is hearing people’s inspiring individual stories.

“I don’t think any of us knew where the race would go, that it would touch and improve so

many people’s lives,” Samuel-son said. “It has transcended the sport in many ways we hadn’t thought that it might.”

One of the most visible impacts can be seen with each race’s beneficiary. This year it’s the Portland-based nonprofit, Center for Grieving Children, which will receive a $30,000 donation from TD Bank through

Few problems at year’s first large-scale concert in Scarborough

DAVID HARRY / THE FORECASTER

An estimated 6,000 fans attended Tuesday night’s concert headlined by Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller at Scarborough Downs. Police reported about two dozen people were treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration, and there were a few arrests and expulsions. The show was the first of three large-scale concerts to be held at the track this summer.

By David HarrySCARBOROUGH — The first of three

festival-style concerts at Scarborough Downs on Tuesday resulted in a few arrests and cases of heat exhaustion, but no major problems, according to Police Chief Robert Moulton.

“It went relatively well. We had had some medical issues, a combination of dehydra-tion, maybe a little too much high-energy dancing,” Moulton said.

The evening was cool and overcast, but Moulton said about 17 people were treated at a medical tent at the concert and seven were taken to area hospitals.

Moulton said there were some arrests and ejections for alcohol and drug violations.

“It was nothing of any significance,” he said.

The Under the Influence of Music Tour, headlined by rappers Wiz Khlaifa and Mac Miller, drew an estimated 6,000 fans to a stage set up outside the race track. Staffers at the site said the music began around 5:30 p.m., and as rapper Chiddy Bang played a set about an hour later, vehicles flowed into parking lots from Route 1 and Payne Road entrances without causing any backups.

Traffic was congested on the track ac-cess road leading to Payne Road after the show, but Moulton said town roads were

unaffected.Moulton said the concert was staffed by

nine local police officers, working with security staff provided by the promoter, Waterfront Concerts.

Waterfront Concerts is staging two more shows at the track this summer. On Aug. 10, seven acts headline the metal Oxxfest show. On Sept. 7, classic rockers ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform.

The company also stages shows at the Waterfront Pavillion in Bangor, and Moulton said their experience with concerts provided a level of comfort for him and his staff.

“A lot of planning has gone into it,” Moulton said. “We have been working with the promoter.”

Last summer, Scarborough Downs hosted a country-and-western show headlined by Brad Paisley, and Moulton said the depart-ment learned about traffic flow problems and noise complaints from that show.

This year, the stage has been shifted to face the Payne Road entrance instead of Route 1, with woods providing a sound bar-rier. Moulton said officers will also be more vigilant about traffic using southbound

Payne Road to enter Scarborough Downs because online directions guide drivers to Maine Turnpike Exit 45 at the Maine Mall, instead of Exit 42 at Haigis Parkway.

Before the summer concerts began, councilors also amended the town mass gathering ordinance to allow more than five mass gatherings and reduce permit fees for companies applying for more than one permit. The Downs can hold up to 11,000 fans for shows.

For any gathering of 1,000 or more, or-ganizers must post a bond of 120 percent of the cost of municipal services needed

for safety and crowd control. Organizers are also required to alert hospitals within 25 miles about their events.

Moulton said the town and promoters are also working with an independent sound engineer to get a more complete picture of how sound travels through the area around the venue.

“Simple decibel metering may not show a complete picture,” he said. “Sound can travel in varied ways.”David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@

Ban on ‘puppy mill’ dogs fails to advance in ScarboroughBy David Harry

SCARBOROUGH — By a 2-1 vote, the Town Council Ordinance Committee on Tuesday postponed consideration of a ban on the retail sale of puppies from large breeders.

With committee Chairwoman Carol Rancourt opposed, Councilors James Benedict and Richard Sullivan voted to table the discussion that began at a June 26 meeting.

The committee has not drafted an ordi-nance for consideration, but has been pro-vided samples of similar ordinances from other towns. Rancourt said the hour-long discussion with public comment Tuesday was for “edification and education.”

Rancourt asked speakers not to men-

tion any businesses by name, but any ordinance regulating puppy sales would have only affected Pawsitively Pets on Payne Road.

Store owners Barbara Cross and Jamie Nonni bought the business June 1. Nonni said after the June committee meeting that he and Cross extensively researched the breeders they could use to supply purebred puppies. They eliminated those with consumer and regulatory com-plaints, he said, and other breeders who did not meet the owners’ standards for quality of facilities and care.

But converting the store to sell only dogs that had been rescued or in shelters is impractical, Nonni said, adding that he does not like the suggestion that all large-scale breeders are running so-called “puppy mills.”

“Our specialty is high-quality, purebred dogs,” he said, and estimated the store gets five customers a day looking for such pets.

The store’s previous owners were pick-eted by protesters from Maine Citizens Against Puppy Mills from last summer

through early spring.Organization founder Lynne Fracassi

and Carol Reynolds, owner of Wizard of Paws in Bridgton, approached councilors about drafting the ordinance. They said Nonni and Cross meant well, but claimed their research showed the store is still supplied by questionable breeders.

“I feel they have been duped into buy-

ing this business,” Cross said.Kathleen O’Shea, a Scarborough dog

trainer, said despite Nonni’s efforts, she has found training dogs acquired from shelters to be much easier than dogs bought at stores.

“From my point of view, rescue pup-pies behave much better,” O’Shea said.

In other business, the committee agreed to advance a draft of zoning ordinance revisions affecting property owners living

Wolfe’s Neck Farm’s 7th Annual

Cape lawyer’s judicial nomination denied Senate voteBy David Harry

PORTLAND — Despite objections from both of Maine’s U.S. senators, a confir-mation vote for a Cape Elizabeth lawyer nominated to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston will not be scheduled before the November general election.

William Kayatta Jr., now a trial lawyer with Portland-based Pierce Atwood, was nominated by President Barack Obama to fill the appeals court seat vacated by Judge Kermit Lipez, a South Portland resident.

Lipez is taking senior judicial status, opening a spot on the circuit that serves Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Puerto Rico. The appeals court sits one rung below the Supreme Court of the United States. Kayatta was nominated in January and his nomination cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee in the spring.

Prospects of a full Senate vote to confirm his nomination were eliminated Monday when a vote to end debate on another nomi-nation failed, 56-34. Senate rules require 60 votes to invoke cloture, or end debate. After the vote, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Senate Majority Leader, announced he will not schedule any more judicial appoint-ment votes.

Maine’ Republican senators, Olympia

FileWilliam Kayatta Jr.

Snowe and Susan Collins, each supported Kayatta’s nomination and voted to end debate Monday on the nomination of Okla-homan Robert Bacharach to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“I have strongly supported Bill’s nomi-nation from day one and will continue to work with the Senate leadership in an effort bring his nomination to the floor for a vote, with the hope that the majority leader will reconsider his decision on this critical mat-ter,” Snowe said Monday.

Collins said she voted to proceed to the nomination of Bacharach because he is a “highly experienced and well-qualified nominee.”

“With very little time until the August re-cess,” Collins said, “it remains my hope that the Senate will confirm Bill Kayatta, whose

qualifications are equally impressive.”Blocking judicial appointments by ex-

tended debate in a presidential election year is a practice first attributed to the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. It has been used by both parties since 1968, and has been called both the “Thurmond Rule” and “Leahy Rule” because of its use by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.

The final vote to end debate on Bacha-rach was 56-34, with Republican Sens. Tom Coburn and James Inofe of Oklahoma and Orrin Hatch of Utah voting “present,” instead of yes or no, to end debate.

The failure to end debate on Bacharach’s nomination also endangers votes for Rich-ard Taranto, nominated to the Federal Cir-cuit, and Patty Shwartz, nominated to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Nomination papers available for November municipal electionsBy David Harry

SCARBOROUGH — Candidates can now seek the signatures needed to get on Nov. 6 general election ballots in Scarborough, South Portland and Cape Elizabeth.

In Scarborough, where nomination papers became available Wednesday, two Town Council seats, three School Board

seats and two seats for Sanitary District trustee will be contested.

The seats are currently held by Coun-cilors Jessica Holbrook and Carol Ran-court, School Board members Robert Mitchell, Jane Wiseman and Jacquelyn Perry, and Sanitary District Trustees Rico Nicola and Violet Benedetto.

Rancourt cannot run again because of

town term limits.Municipal elections are nonpartisan,

and each office has a three-year term.Interested candidates need to gather at

least 25 and no more than 100 signatures from resident registered voters. Carrie Noyes, Scarborough deputy town clerk

S.P. man hospitalized after standoff

SOUTH PORTLAND — Police said a 32-year-old man who threatened to com-mit suicide July 26 while standing on a

city dam was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland for a mental health evaluation.

Lt. Frank Clark said the unidentified man doused himself with gasoline in the Redbank neighborhood. He was reported to be holding a lighter and possibly a knife by someone who called 911. When police arrived around 3:45 p.m., the man fled on foot across Westbrook Street to the dam at Clark's Pond.

Clark said police called a crisis worker from the Cumberland County Crisis unit operated through Opportunity Alliance and closed the area to traffic, including the Exit 3 ramp from Interstate 295.

The crisis worker was able to convince the man to leave the dam. Clark said he was not in possession of a lighter or knife when taken into custody.

S.P. council health benefits workshop set

SOUTH PORTLAND — A council workshop seeking public input on health-care plans for councilors will be held at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 13 in council chambers at City Hall.

Mayor Patti Smith agreed to hold the workshop on the municipally funded health care benefits after city resident Albert DiMillo Jr. filed a lawsuit in Cumberland County Superior Court to have the benefits terminated.

Health-care benefits for councilors have been funded in city budgets since 1977, but are not specifically mentioned in the City Charter, which allows $3,000 compensation to councilors.

Council workshops are typically held at the South Portland Community Cen-ter, but the center is closed annually in August for maintenance work.

The case of the vanishing TupperwareI’d like to touch upon a disturbing topic: things that

vanish.Any adult who has done laundry knows that socks dis-

appear. This has been a source of both fodder and much head scratching over the years. We all know the tale of woe – you put four pairs of matching socks into the dryer, and you get seven socks back at the end of the day. To where did sock number eight disappear? Who knows? As a society, we don’t even try to figure this out anymore. We’ve just accepted the fact that someone will occasionally be wearing non-matching socks, or one lonely sock will be going into the trash or relegated to the position of shoe-shining rag.

So I’m well aware of the sock phenomenon. But in the past year or so, I’ve also become aware of additional items that start out as part of a “pair,” or exist in seeming abundance, and then vanish into some sort of household black hole.

Let’s consider the plight of Tupperware, or any other brand of plastic food storage container. OK, there is the actual container, and then there is the lid. We purchase these container “sets." They are sent off to school or on a picnic or whatever, they go into the sink or the dish-

washer, and then, bam – all hell breaks loose.Recently, in an unusual act of domesticity, I woke up

with a deep-seated urge to take every piece of plastic storage-ware and spread it out on our kitchen counter. In our house, we keep these items in the bottom section of a freestanding vintage “Hoosier” cabinet. The containers are stacked according to shape (round, square, rectangu-lar) and the lids are in a separate basket. It’s not easy to access, and if you lack flexibility, you can forget about finding a container for your leftover coleslaw. (But we’re not a particularly practical family. We generally value aes-thetics over ease of use in most everything, and thankfully, our knees and backs are still in good condition.)

Anyway, as I pulled out all of the containers and lids, it was already clear that something was amiss; the basket full of lids was in definite disproportion to the stacks of receptacles.

In the end, I tossed at least a dozen topless containers into the recycling bin, along with approximately two-dozen bottomless lids.

How does this happen? Did they have arguments, and march off to someone else’s lunchboxes or picnic baskets? Did they not like living in our Hoosier cabinet? Was there a mutiny at some point?

Clothespins are another household item I find challeng-ing. Long ago, I ascertained that buying a $3 package of 100 wooden clothespins and using them as clips to close bags of chips or cereal, etc., was preferable to spending $3 on two plastic “chip clips.” I may not have majored in eco-nomics, but I do know a marketing scam when I see one.

The need to hermetically seal every item in our kitchen

No SugarAdded

Sandi Amorello

became apparent upon moving to a seaside town; were it not for those clothespins, the Raisin Bran that Charles opens at 9 a.m. would be stale and inedible by 9:18 a.m. of the same day.

Therefore, we have a vintage yellow pottery bowl in our kitchen that I routinely refill with new clothespins. Why is this? Where do the clothespins go? Admittedly, some are in use, and one breaks upon occasion, or accidentally gets thrown away with the stale Cheerios. But what hap-pens to the rest?

My family keeps the clothespin industry in the black, apparently.

Perhaps my strategy is wrong. Perhaps if I sprung for the $1.50-each plastic clips, they wouldn’t disappear – much like when you purchase cheap sunglasses you inevitably lose them after a month, but when you splurge on the ones in the locked display cabinet, you have them for most of your adult life.

At this point, I fully expect anthropologists to one day find sprawling underground caverns, filled with mismatched food containers and lids, mateless socks, and lone clothes-pins sadly searching for open bags of Goldfish crackers.

Meanwhile, I have surrendered to the forces that be.

The Olympics were revived in the 1800s with an ethos of amateurism and a spirit that the most important thing was to take part, not to win.

Now, the Olympics accept professional athletes and experiment with nouvelle sports like synchronized swim-ming, golf, beach volleyball, rhythmic gymnastics, and table tennis. There is little respite from worldly hostilities, from the terrorist attacks at the Munich Games in 1972, to whether Iranian athletes will compete against Israeli athletes, to the presidential political ads running during the current London games.

I am also a big fan of another British TV show: Prime Minister Question Hour. Once a week, the leader of the United Kingdom submits to questions from members of Parliament. The general practice of putting questions to government ministers has been in effect for centuries. It has been refined and formalized over the years.

The PM gets to go first. The opposition leader second. Thereafter, the presiding officer, the speaker, calls upon members to ask questions, alternating between members of the government and members of the opposition. Members who wish to ask questions submit their names in advance. Names are drawn at random. Starting in the 1980s, Con-servative PM Margaret Thatcher insisted on answering the questions herself, rather than delegate the responsibility to one of the members of her cabinet.

PMQH is a constitutional convention. Britain does not have one formal, written constitution. It has a number of

charter documents, the most venerable of which may be the Magna Carta. Some of Britain’s fundamental rules and practices, like PMQH, are not codified in written law. They derive from custom, practice, and tradition. They are not enforceable in court.

PMQH is one of the best-known pieces of Parliamentary business. The observation gallery is always filled. Here in America, you can watch it on C-SPAN, Wednesday morn-ings and Sunday evenings.

I caught a broadcast recently. The session started off with the leader of the liberal opposition Labor Party, Edward Miliband, peppering Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron with criticisms: Cameron failed to keep his campaign promises; he lacked leadership and had lost the confidence of his own party; he was to blame for the poor state of the British economy.

Cameron defended himself by pointing out the respects in which he had led his party, and the country, to address its economic problems, whose origins predated his tenure, with responsible austerity measures. The exchange was as personally antagonistic as I can remember, as the two leaders popped up and down from their benches to put and parry questions.

It got so heated that the speaker intervened to call for

From London, a gold-medal lesson in getting alongI enjoyed the opening ceremonies for this summer’s

London Olympics, because of their quirkiness. It was so very British.

I liked “Slumdog Million-aire” director Danny Boyle’s whizzing, dragonfly’s view of London and England. I liked the review of English history from pastoral to industrial to digital age. I liked Daniel Craig’s James Bond picking up the Queen for a hop over to the stadium and a jump out of the heli-copter. I liked the Queen’s corgis doing their tricks for the camera. I even liked John Cleese’s ad for living large like an aristocrat with Direct TV.

I’m not sure how it all relates to the Olympics, but then the games have strayed a bit from my understanding of their original purpose. The ancient Olympics were staged among the rival nation-sates of ancient Greece. Every four years, they would suspend hostilities to compete in athletic contests like foot races, wrestling, discus and javelin throws; to celebrate the winners, and to honor the Greek gods.

order. Then things settled down and the proceedings shifted to the more familiar questions from members and answers from the PM. It is always impressive to see how the PM is well-informed about matters of his government both great and small, international and domestic, and how he responds to each member’s question with substance.

This is the type of exchange that I was used to seeing during PMQH. It includes a certain amount of hooraying and heckling from the back-benchers. However, even dur-ing the more acrimonious initial phase of the recent PMQH, you could see a hint of a smile on the opponents’ faces. Their attacks seemed mitigated by a sense of humor and a sense of their common interest.

It’s good to mix with your opposition. To take their ques-tions and give them your answers. To get to know them and give them a chance to know you. It fosters understanding and defuses animosity. Done regularly and publicly, it can engender trust and confidence.

We do it less and less these days. People and politicians used to socialize with those of the opposite party. Now they stay away.

Our leaders should set a better example. At all levels. I give Mitt Romney enormous credit for venturing into one of President Obama’s core constituencies and speaking to the NAACP in July. All our leaders should do likewise. It doesn’t take a constitutional amendment. All they have to do is show up.

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

The stuff of lifeThis summer my two brothers and I have been

slowly disposing of our parents’ worldly possessions. Mom and Dad are now living together in a nursing home, where a lifetime’s accumulation of material objects cannot follow.

Both of my parents grew up in Portland (Deering High ’40 and ’42), but they have moved around so much that I am amazed at the amount of stuff they managed to drag along with them. You’d think that having lived together in Brunswick (Bowdoin ‘49), Waterville (’50), Mechanic Falls (’51), San Di-ego (Navy, ’51-’52), Lewiston (’53), Auburn (’54), three places in Groton, Mass. (’55-’58), Pawtucket, R.I. (’58-’60), six different houses in Westbrook (including a mobile home) since 1960 (with brief stays in an apart-ment in Portland and a condo in Falmouth) that they would have managed to lighten their load along the way.

Not so.Even though they had

only been living on one floor of their duplex apart-ment for the past three years, the cupboards, draw-ers, closets, and basement were jammed with stuff that now has to find its way to a new home or the dump. It’s been a gradual process, because for several months we weren’t sure whether they might be com-ing home.

First I removed their important papers (wills, mili-tary records, birth certificates, etc.) and stored them in a strong box under my desk. Then I systematically disposed of perishable food, staples, clothing, cosmet-ics and pharmaceuticals, photographs, paintings, silverware, dishes and glassware, jewelry, sundries and notions. By the time we rented a 16-foot van last week there were just a few pieces of large furniture left to move – two couches, two desks, three chairs, a hutch, a maple bureau, an old unused computer moni-tor, and a king-size bed. We kept a couch, a desk, the hutch, and the bureau. The rest went to the dump.

As the first-born of my generation, I seem to have

become the default keeper of the family archive. Two new clear plastic tubs filled with vintage photographs are stacked in my dining room, ready to join the card-board boxes in the cellar containing my grandfather Beem’s war records and memorabilia. Everything else is already down in the basement waiting for my kids and my brothers’ kids to decide what of Grammy’s and Grampy’s they might want.

There’s a lot of sentimental value in family pho-tographs that go all the way back to about 1910, but there’s not much of any real monetary value. My Nana Gibson’s mink stole is in beautiful condition, but no one wears furs anymore, none of our kids want it, and the vintage clothing store already has six just like it on consignment for a mere hundred bucks or so.

Mom and Dad seem to have been enjoying the bits and pieces of their pasts that I’ve been bringing them – mostly photo albums and yearbooks. They have a photograph of Dad in his Maine Maritime Academy cadet uniform and Mom as a Westbrook Junior College coed on the shelf in their room, along with photographs of their parents, their children, their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren.

Their home is now empty except for a dozen or so boxes filled with an assortment of junk. I’m on my way over there now to sort through what remains because things such as birth certificates and gold watches have turned up in boxes of yarn, sewing sup-plies, picture frames, art supplies and costume jewelry.

I’ve had pretty good luck just leaving useful items such as irons and ironing boards, bookshelves, flow-erpots, and lamps out on the street for neighbors to adopt. Still, I must have hauled a dozen huge con-struction trash bags to the dump filled with the forgot-ten and the unwanted.

This whole process of sorting through and disposing of the stuff of life has made me want to tackle the tons of treasures and trash in my own drawers, cupboards, closets and cellar. I don’t envy the person who’ll have to clean up after me, but with any luck at all I’ll manage to dispose of my past before that becomes necessary.

We must break our violent habits

Human experience and training lead to random acts of violence and random acts of kindness. We all know that in athletics, we learn a skill, like how to kick a soccer ball, shoot a hoop, swim a lap or serve a tennis ball; by repeating it. With enough repetition it becomes second nature, auto-matic. This happens because we have trained our brain and body; we have put in the time and energy. The same goes for learning math, English, history, a foreign language or

science; we go over the material, memo-rize the information and techniques, of-ten by repetition; we are training the

brain and body and it becomes second nature, automatic.So there is no surprise that people spending hours mas-

tering violent video games and watching violent television shows and movies have been trained to violence and cruelty.

It is not complicated. Some ideas for beginning to reverse this trend are: don’t buy violent video games, turn off cruel and violent television shows, talk to your kids about how to handle natural competitive instincts in a civilized way. Set an example by being kind and decent. Unraveling the trend toward violence and cruelty in our society will take con-scious effort. Letting it go would end up hurting a lot more.

Victor H. Huck Jr., 74: An unlikely seamanSOUTH PORTLAND — Victor H. Huck

Jr., 74, died unexpectedly July 24 at his home.

Huck was born in Evansville, Ind., on Jan. 15, 1938, the eldest of seven children. He attended school in Evansville before joining the U.S. Coast Guard – without ever having seen the ocean. While stationed in Portland, he met his future wife, Judith Sandberg.

The couple shared 53 years of marriage while raising four children, Theresa, Victor III, Mary Jane and Shawn. Victor was a life-long advocate of education, and sacrificed so his four children could have the best education possible.

Huck retired from the Coast Guard after 23 years. He went on to work at various jobs, and take an active role in his com-munity. He served in the E-7-8-9 Club, the Warrant Officers Club and the Cutterman’s

Association.Huck's favorite pastimes included geneal-

ogy, cooking, computers and reading. He was an avid fisherman and sports fan, and would travel anywhere to watch the Atlanta Braves. He also enjoyed attending sporting events involving his granddaughters.

He is predeceased by his parents, Victor Sr. and Carolyn (Peak) Huck, and by neph-ews Seamus and Thomas Nee.

Huck is survived by his wife, Judith; sons Victor III of Scarborough and Shawn of South Portland; daughter Theresa of Portland; daughter Mary-Jane Richards and her husband, James, of Skowhegan; brother John of Foley, Ala.; brother Frederick and his wife, Terry, of Greencastle, Ind.; brother Thomas and his wife, Lisa, of Evansville, Ind.; sister Alice Patrick, of Evansville, Ind.; sister Grace Beliles and her husband,

Larry, of Evansville, Ind.; sister Mary Griggs and her husband, Steve, of Foley, Ala.; granddaughter Erin Matthews and her husband, Brandon; and granddaughters Katie Richards, Lindsay Richards and Kylie Richards.

A mass of Christian burial was held July 28 at Holy Cross Church in South Portland. Burial with military rites followed at New Calvary Cemetery, also in South Portland.

Those who wish may make contributions

in Huck’s memory to the Good Shepherd Food Bank, P.O. Box 1807, Auburn, ME 04211-1807.

Three Scarborough track standouts named all-stateBy Michael Hoffer

Three Scarborough outdoor track and field standouts were recently named to the Maine Track and Cross Country Coach-es' Association 2012 All-State Team.

The girls' first team featured senior Nicole Kirk, the multiple state champion in the 100 and 200 and state record holder in four events, along with class-mate Emily Tolman, one of the state's premier sprinters.

On the boys' side, junior Kevin Manning, a top thrower and vaulter, was selected as an honorable mention.

Patriots open camp, but these eyes still on the SoxBy Bryan O’Connor

It may be hard to believe, but Patriots training camp is now underway.

Meanwhile, the schizophrenic Red Sox alternately inspire faith in a postseason push and make fans wonder whether they should bother to continue paying attention.

Both teams are perennial con-tenders with multiple champion-ships in their recent past, but both are fresh off heartbreaking endings to promising seasons. Yet the experience of being a Red Sox fan is quite unlike that of being a Patriots fan.

For both clubs, the tone is set from the top. John Henry, Tom Werner, and Larry Lucchino bought the Red Sox in 2002 and immediately turned the team into a contender, committing more financial resources to the team than had ever been avail-able and quickly installing a

bright general manager in Theo Epstein and a world-class man-ager in Terry Francona. Epstein and Francona have moved on, taking some of the optimism surrounding the Red Sox with them, but the ownership group still inspires confidence.

Robert Kraft bought the Pa-triots at an even lower point in their history, in 1994, and didn’t take long to carry them to relevance. When he hired Bill Belichick as head coach in 2000, he began a period of suc-cess unrivaled in Patriots history and reminiscent of the Celtics’ dominance in the 1960s. Belich-ick may seem surly and even heartless, but no fan questions his commitment to putting the best possible team on the field every year.

For both teams, success throughout the 21st century has invited lofty expectations every year. The Red Sox qualified for

the playoffs in nine of the first 15 seasons after the advent of the wild card in 1995. In fact, should the Sox fail to make the playoffs for the third straight season in 2012, they would tie an unwelcome record set in the three years immediately preceding Henry’s purchase of the team. The team’s payroll is regularly between the second- and fourth-highest in the game, and they always seem to be in on the bidding for coveted free agents like Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez. Anything short of a playoff appearance is a failure at Fenway.

Fans of the Patriots may ex-pect even more than fans of the Red Sox. With six playoff bids in each conference and no other great team in their division, the barrier to entry is lower for the Pats and in Belichick’s tenure, only the winters of 2002-03 and 2008-09 passed without

the Patriots in a playoff game. Furthermore, while baseball’s playoffs can be a crapshoot, football’s playoffs are designed to reward excellence, so not only do New England fans expect an appearance in the playoffs, but a win or two in January has come to feel like a birthright as well. As the Patriots’ title drought (currently seven seasons, the longest of any major sports team in New England) grows, fans get hungrier for a championship and every playoff loss becomes more painful than the last one.

Perhaps the biggest difference in the fan experience is that the Patriots lack an obvious rival, while the Red Sox are nearly a century into one of the most intense rivalries in sports. The Red Sox and Yankees play 18 times a year and sometimes add another seven games in the play-offs. For a decade and a half, the Yankees have spent more

on player payroll than any other team, often nearly doubling the runner-up and dwarfing the lower-payroll teams by a factor of eight to 10. Not until Henry’s group insisted that the Red Sox couldn’t compete on the field without competing for the high-priced free agents was Boston’s payroll out of line with the rest of the league’s, but today, the Sox can afford to put a team full of stars on the field at all times. This only intensifies the rivalry that was born with Babe Ruth, fueled by Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, intensified by Bill Lee and Goose Gossage, and revitalized by Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez.

The experience of watching the Red Sox cannot be explained without reference to the Yan-kees, whose name they spend the majority of every summer

looking up at in the standings. In con-trast, the Patriots very rarely look up at anyone in the standings. The Jets have been hated rivals during the Rex Ryan era, but the two have only met in three playoff games in their history, none of which was for a conference champion-ship. The Dolphins have resembled a rival at times, but only in January of 1986 and 1998 did they play historically significant games.

The Patriots’ most obvious rival in

Red Soxfrom previous page

the 21st century has been the Colts, but since the divisions were realigned, the two play each other less than once a year. They split AFC Championship Games in ’04 and ’07, but the Colts have since faded from relevance, their cycle of success a harsh reality for most teams in a league with a hard salary cap. The Giants are becoming a rival after two Super Bowls I’m reluctant to mention for fear that my twice traumatized editor may delete this paragraph, but it’s hard to consider a team in another conference a rival.

To be a fan of the Patriots is to root for the most shrewdly-run team in football, a team with a firmly established, all-time great quarterback and a supporting cast that seems to change every year in an effort to stay dominant and affordable. To be a fan of the Red Sox is to wit-ness excellence year in and year out, but to appreciate that excellence only if it somehow trumps the excellence of a team with even more financial resources and an even richer history.

While the rivalry brings healthy doses of insecurity and paranoia to the Red Sox experience, it also makes the pay-off that much more ecstatic. Exorcising 86 years’ worth of demons by winning four straight against the Yankees and four more against the Cardinals in 2004 was even sweeter than tuck-ruling and

field-goaling past the Raiders and Rams in 2001. Legitimizing 2004 by finally winning the division and the World Series in 2007 and then returning to the playoffs in 2008 while the Yankees stayed home was more cathartic than the

Patriots steamrolling all competition in 2004 and 2005.

There’s pride and comfort in rooting for the Patriots. Give me the paranoia and the payoff of Red Sox worship any day of the week. Even Sunday.

• More Quiet • Safe &Affordable• Less Drafty • Foam Insulation• Highest R-Value • Injected from outside

By Scott AndrewsSummer’s end may be approaching,

but there’s plenty more to go before the quiet period that begins on Labor Day weekend.

Most of Maine’s major summer music festivals take place outside Portland. But that changes next week when the Portland Chamber Music Festival, which debuted in 1994, returns for its 19th season. Artistic director and co-founder Jenny Elowitch has invited nearly two dozen of her fellow professional musi-cians to perform four principal concerts, which begin Aug. 9 on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus.

Baseball and summer are sort of synon-ymous. So are baseball and beaches. So why not combine the two with a baseball story at “Broadway on the Beach” – a phrase that Ogunquit Playhouse likes to use. “Damn Yankees,” in a special Boston Red Sox version, runs at the playhouse through Aug. 18. And – going, going, gone – it’s a homer.

Portland Chamber Music FestivalBack in 1994, Jenny Elowitch, a

classical violinist who played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and many other Hub ensembles, decided to launch a summer music festival in her hometown of Portland. Although Maine already had quite a slew of classical festivals and concert series, most took place in cities and town outside the Port City. Elowitch reasoned that because Portland is Maine’s cultural center, her new enterprise could find an artistic niche and a market.

Elowitch was right. Her venture worked. Now returning for its 19th edi-


Chamber music festivals and ‘Damn Yankees’

Russ BuRleigh

Out & About

The Portland Chamber Music Festival opens for its 19th season with an Aug. 9 concert.

tion, the Portland Chamber Music Festi-val features four main-stage evening con-certs, Aug. 9, 11, 16 and 18, plus a free midday family presentation on Aug. 12.

Many aspects of the festival have re-mained constant over the years. Elowitch herself always performs, but in keeping with the collaborative and democratic spirit of chamber music, she’s not spot-lighted in any way and the programming isn’t centered on herself. (It’s also worth noting that she now lives in Portland, while frequently commuting to Boston to play with the BSO and other groups.)

Elowitch’s original concept of a core of about two dozen professional musicians performing a variety of small-ensemble works from all periods and schools of music remains a bedrock principle of the festival.

This year’s “first” (Elowitch usually has at least one) is an appearance by a classical guitarist. David Leisner, who is

on the guitar faculty of the New England Conservatory and the Manhattan School of Music, will appear in the first two concerts. On Aug. 9 he’ll be featured in Luigi Boccherini’s Quintet for Guitar and Strings, a less-often-heard masterpiece of the Italian Classical period.

On Aug. 11 Leisner will be featured, along with soprano Tony Arnold, in an intriguing piece by contemporary com-poser Dominick Argento. Titled “Letters from Composers,” Argento’s idea is to take personal letters written by well known historical composers and set the texts to music.

Other works on the first two concerts? The Aug. 9 opener concludes with one of chamber music’s best-loved pieces, An-tonin Dvorak’s String Quintet in E Flat, commonly known as “The American.” The big item on the Aug. 11 concert will be Franz Schubert’s String Quintet in C Major, another beloved masterpiece of the genre.

All evening concerts are slated for 8 p.m. at the Abromson Community Education Center, 88 Bedford St. on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus. Call 320-0257 or visit pcmf.org.

Sebago-Long Lake Music FestivalAlthough it takes place about an hour

north of the Port City, the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival is a personal favorite with me and many other Portland resi-dents. In part that’s because artistic direc-tor Laurie Kennedy is the longtime first violist with the Portland Symphony Or-chestra and she invites quite a few PSO musicians to play on her five-Tuesdays

series in Harrison.The final two concerts on the 2012

schedule are slated for Aug. 7 and 14. The first will feature one of the largest ensembles Kennedy has ever gathered on-stage, as 13 musicians perform the Aaron Copland’s instrumental suite from “Ap-palachian Spring,” which famously quotes an old Shaker hymn, “Simple Gifts,” which was written a few miles away at the Shaker colony in New Gloucester.

The Aug. 14 finale is built around Rus-sian composers. Sergei Prokofiev, Aram Khachaturian, Dmitri Shostakovich and Mikhail Glinka.

All concerts take place at 7:30 p.m. at Deertrees Theatre and Arts Center, Deer-trees Road (about a mile out of Harrison village). Call Deertrees at 583-6747 or visit www.sebagofestival.org.

‘Damn Yankees’It’s August and the Boston Red Sox

are slumping along at the bottom of the American League East. So what’s new? If you were following the Bosox in the 1950s, you’d certainly scream “deja vu” from the top row of the Fenway Park bleachers.

Now you can root for the Red Sox from the cushioned seats of Ogunquit Playhouse, where “Damn Yankees” is running through Aug. 18.

The Boston Red Sox are the subject of one of the best Broadway musicals from the mid-1950s. “Damn Yankees” – which originally focused on the cellar-dwelling Washington Senators – has been partially re-written into a special Bosox version that’s currently circling the bases in Ogunquit. “Damn Yankees” is a grand slam; don’t miss it.

Here’s a quick recap of the story line. In the mid-1950s, a long-suffering middle-aged Red Sox fan is offered a Faustian deal by the Devil himself. In re-turn for his soul, the paunchy, balding fan is transformed into the greatest player in baseball, a strapping young slugger who leads his team to the American League pennant.

The script for the original show was written by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop, based on the latter’s best-selling novel. The score was written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The book adapta-tions for the Red Sox adaptation – an Ogunquit exclusive – was written by contemporary playwright Joe DiPietro.

I loved the new version. Ogunquit’s production truly captures the magic of “Damn Yankees,” with D.C. Anderson and Sam Prince taking the role of the fan and the slugger respectively. Television star and style maven Carson Kressley does a nice turn as Mr. Applegate, the surrogate Devil in the show. I love the double-play comedienne combination of Erin Denman, as the Devil’s sexy, curva-ceous designated home-wrecker, and Jen-nifer Cody, as a mixed-up sportswriter.

Ogunquit Playhouse, a mile south of the village on U.S. Route 1, presents its exclusive Red Sox version of “Damn Yankees” through Aug. 18. Call 646-5511 or visit www.ogunquitplayhouse.org.

Oystersfrom page 1


Top photo: Nonesuch Oysters owner Abigail Carroll tends an upweller in Biddeford Pool, built with friends to raise oyster spats, above, for eventual cultivation in the Scarborough

River. Carroll and her staff have been farming oysters for two years and she hopes to move

at least one of her upwellers to the Pine Point Municipal Pier.

Employee Kim Little, right, shows some of Wednesday’s harvest. The company can

cultivate as many as 2,000 oysters a week at its farm on the Scarborough River.

oyster spats. The spats, which feel like barley to the touch, range in size from a wood tick to a pencil eraser, and are fed and nourished by water pumped at 150 gallons a minute.

Carroll wants to move at least one up-weller, in part because her staff does not get to see many of the infants they will eventually tend.

“They are kind of missing the fun part, you can see growth every two days,” she said.

As the oysters mature and develop shells, Carroll and her staff then move

the spats to mesh bags moored in the Scarborough River. Mature oysters are sold to a wholesaler that supplies restau-rants throughout greater Portland.

Corbeau said he expects permits will be needed from the DMR and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to set up an upweller on the pier, but not from the town.

“The process should not be a huge is-sue,” he said.

Raising spats provided by nurseries on the Damariscotta River was a large step in expanding Nonesuch Oysters, Carroll said. Biddeford mill owner Chris Betjemann helped build the upweller and

modify the design to incorporate the five-gallon buckets inside lobster tanks.

Just as she planned to install and operate the upwellers in Scarborough, an inundation of rain runoff decreased salinity levels to a point where the spats would have died.

Carroll sought help from the yacht club, where she is a member, and Bid-deford officials to open the upwellers adjacent to the club.

Tending and cleaning the upwellers is constant work, and spats are fed with the flow of abundant phytoplankton in waters off the yacht club.

“Murky water is good,” Carroll said. “I’m totally obsessive, I am here all the time.”

In September, Carroll said she will shut down the upwellers and place even the smallest spats into bags on the river in advance of winter.

In Scarborough, she relies on a staff of current or recently graduated college students to check the moored bags, shift growing oysters, harvest those ready for market, and get rid of predators like mussels.

The farm was initially stocked with some maturing oysters to ensure the company could begin selling and have cash flow. Now the smaller ones planted in 2010 are also reaching market size: between 2 and 3 inches wide.

Carroll said about 2,000 oysters were harvested last week, and Nonesuch em-ployee Russ Chandler said he harvested

about 300 on Tuesday afternoon.Initial efforts to grow Maine-raised

French belon oysters were unsuccessful, but Carroll said she would like to try again, and import stock from France for the farm. Carroll is also expanding retail sales of the oysters to the Pine Point Fisherman’s Co-op and Ken’s Place on Pine Point Road.

Carroll’s team of aquatic farm hands includes Kim Little, a Cleveland native who also works at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, and Bowdoin College sophomore Ryan Mancini, an economics major.

“You can’t beat working on the water,” Little said as she held a bucket of freshly harvested oysters next to her tanned, mud-flecked legs.

Carroll called Little a “rock star” for the work she does year round, even as oysters hibernate in the winter.

“The key to (working in) February is finding gloves,” Little said. “As soon as I find the perfect pair, I’ll buy them in bulk.”

When the expansion is complete, Car-roll estimates she will be raising about 80,000 oyster annually. She holds no illusions they will all fill plates, but feels good about how things have progressed in the third year of her five-year business plan.

“That’s why you start out with a lot of oysters,” she said.

the race can be rewarding in a different way.“My husband didn’t get in one year and

ended up volunteering. He said he actually felt better volunteering,” she said. “The race is an opportunity for people to show their colors and promote something that’s genuinely good.”

Samuelson said she is hoping for low

humidity Saturday and looks forward to the finish line.

“My favorite part is standing at the fin-ish line to greet the elites and the regular people who have a passion for the sport and have goals for themselves no matter what the situation,” she said. “And, they often achieve those goals.”

Strong elite fieldDespite the 2012 Olympic Games in

London, race organizers have put together

an elite field of world-class runners, one of the deepest fields in race history, said Larry Barthlow, elite athlete coordinator for the race.

“One of the biggest challenges in an Olympic year is waiting to see who is going to make the Olympic team,” Barthlow said.

Each country has different policies in place to choose their Olympic athletes,

‘Puppy mill’ banfrom page 3

within 100-year floodplains, as deter-mined by Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency standards.

Property owners who repair, renovate

or rehabilitate residences with projects valued at more than 50 percent of the cur-rent value would be required to elevate the building 3 feet above the ground instead of the current 1 foot.

Town Planner Dan Bacon said the ordi-nance affects residences, not outbuildings or commercial properties, and a recent

amendment allows homeowners to build above the 35-foot maximum height for homes if the base elevation has to be increased.

Rancourt, Benedict and Sullivan agreed the changes should be discussed in Sep-tember and October by the entire coun-cil and be subject to a public hearing.

The section regarding building heights requires a Planning Board hearing and recommendation after the first council reading.

Beach to Beaconfrom page 21

which leaves some runners in limbo.“In other countries, it’s a lot more political

and kind of crazy,” Barthlow said. “You’re playing a lot of dangerous games, not knowing if they’re going to get called up.”

Other challenges arise when athletes obsessively train for the Olympics and then don’t qualify. The disappointment can be devastating emotionally and physically, Barthlow said, which can set them back significantly.

Difficulties aside, this year’s men’s elite group should make for a tight and fast race.

Lucas Rotich, 22, of Kenya, who finished second in last year’s Beach to Beacon, is the favorite in the men’s elite group this year. He is followed by another Kenyan, Stanley Biwott, 26, who broke course re-cords earlier this year at the Paris Marathon and Paris Half Marathon.

Barthlow said wet weather in Ethiopia over the last couple months could affect

runners like Lelisa Desisa, but he still ex-pects the 22-year-old to run a strong race.

The women’s elite group has seven fast runners who can run with the elite men, despite the scratch of Aheza Kiros, the 2011 champion women’s champion. The field includes two women who ran the fastest times ever on the course in 2010, Lineth Chepkurai, 24, and Wude Ayalew, 25.

The London Olympics did claim one elite women’s runner, Aberu Kebede, who will be an alternate for Ethiopia.

Margaret Wangari-Muriuki, 26, of Kenya, will be a tough competitor, bringing some momentum from a win last weekend at the Quad-City Bix 7 mile in Iowa.

MainerunnersThe London Olympics will have an

impact on the Maine resident elite runners this year, because the favorite men’s runner and last year’s champion, Louie Luchini of Ellsworth, will be attending the games to watch friends compete.

In Luchini’s absence, Jonny Wilson, 24, of Falmouth, is the men’s favorite. This year

he won the L.L. Bean 10K, Yarmouth Clam Festival 5 Mile and the Ocean Park 5K.

Another Falmouth resident, Ethan Shaw, 21, hopes to challenge Wilson, along with Robert Gomez, 28, of Westbrook and Josh Zolla, 26, of Freeport.

Zolla finished just behind Wilson in Freeport and Yarmouth, and Gomez also closely trailed Wilson in the Ocean Park race.

The women’s race favorite is returning champ Sheri Piers, 41, of Falmouth. Piers is a two-time Beach to Beacon winner, setting the record for Maine women in 2009 while placing 10th overall.

Two Scarborough residents, Erica Jesser-man, 23, and Kristin Barry, 38, hope to push Piers. Jesserman finished behind Piers at the Clam Festival 5 Mile and won the L.L. Bean 10K this year.

Barry, also a two-time Beach to Beacon champion, was unable to finish last year due to humid conditions, will be looking for a strong comeback this year.

Legislaturefrom page 1

To earn her party’s nomination, Millett defeated current Maine House District 124 Rep. Bryan Kaenrath.

Kaenrath will now seek a fourth two-year term in the House district represent-ing western South Portland. He is opposed by Republican Kevin Battle, a former city police officer.

Kaenrath replaces Democrat Andrew Capone-Sprague on the ballot while Battle runs in place of Lindsay Douglas.

Two new candidates are also looking to unseat incumbent Democrat Terry Morrison in Maine House District 122. Morrison is seeking his third, two-year term in the dis-trict representing Knightville, Ferry Beach and Willard Square.

Independent Christopher Kessler is now on the ballot, and Republican Thomas Sar-banis has replaced Howard Farr, who lost to Morrison in 2010.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@
