Brunswick school facilities referendum unlikely this yearBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — Superinten-dent of Schools Paul Perzanoski on Monday said a proposed $38 million plan to renovate Bruns-wick Junior High School and Coffin Elementary School is

unlikely to go to voters this fall.“I’d be very surprised if we

went to referendum this Novem-ber,” Perzanoski said.

He also said it should not be considered in current budget discussions.

Town Manager Gary Brown agreed, and said even if the facilities plan does go out to ref-erendum in November, property owners wouldn’t feel a tax hike from the debt service until fiscal year 2016.

Brown said he didn’t want to speculate on what the tax hike would be, if and when the town votes on a facilities plan of that magnitude, because the cost is far from finalized.

What is much closer to be-

ing finalized, meanwhile, is a 12 percent tax hike that would result from the $58.3 million proposed in town, school, and county budgets for next year.

Despite assurances, Brunswick neighbors remain uneasy about train layover facility By Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — As construction plans progress for a train layover facility between Church Road and Stanwood Street, a neigh-borhood group remains op-posed to the development.

The Northern New Eng-land Passenger Rail Author-ity has worked with the Brunswick West Neighbor-hood Coalition since 2011 to ensure that a layover facility will mitigate noise and die-sel pollution from Amtrak Downeaster trains that now idle up to five hours a day near the neighborhood.

But Brunswick West remains unconvinced NNEPRA has done enough to address the group’s con-cerns.

Bob McEvoy and other members have made several statements about the health risks they face with the idling trains and what could come with the layover facil-

ity.They are also concerned

about noise, vibration and decreased home values.

Patricia Quinn, execu-tive director of NNEPRA, said when the 40,000- to 60,000-square-foot, two-sto-ry layover facility becomes operational, trains will only have to run their engines for a fraction of the time they do now.

“The vast majority of the time it won’t be running,” Quinn said. “It won’t be running when it’s in the building.”

According to a 2011 siting report conducted by Parsons Brinckerhoff, the layover fa-cility will house up to three Downeaster trainsets for overnight storage, cleaning, servicing and repair work.

Quinn said the trains will not have to idle for repair work, and they will only have

An Amtrak Downeaster train idles near the proposed location of the train layover facility between Church Road

and Stanwood Street. The Brunswick West Neighborhood Association has opposed

the location since 2011.

Robert Morrison and Bob McEvoy, right, of the Brunswick West Neighborhood

Coalition, have repeatedly spoken out against the proposed location for the train layover facility next to their

neighborhood.

School chiefs: Report cards an ‘incomplete picture’ of schoolsBy Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — Public schools in Brunswick, School Administrative District 75 and Regional School Unit 1 received grades ranging from A-D in a new state report card system is-sued Wednesday.

Superintendents from each district responded with various degrees of criticism for the new grading system, but Brunswick Superintendent of Schools Paul Perzanoski had the harshest words for the state.

“We will analyze the docu-

ments to determine if there is any new information for the School Department to con-sider,” Perzanoski said in a written statement. “The grades themselves are political, a con-tinuation of the discrediting and dismantling of public schools

for the purpose of using public dollars to fund private and reli-gious schools. After promoting Maine’s Common Core State Standards that minimize grades for students, the state’s action is hypocritical.”

Perzanoski declined further

comment.Meanwhile, superintendents

in SAD 75 and RSU 1 said they believe the grades don’t provide an accurate representation of the schools, but they will use

Mitchell Field bandstand goes to Harpswell votersBy Dylan Martin

HARPSWELL — Mitchell Field could host a summer concert series and more if the town officially accepts a recently finished bandstand near the waterfront.

The Board of Selectmen on April 25 unanimously approved a warrant article to fund the bandstand through donations, along with creation of a town bandstand committee.

The board also approved the purchase of an acidity meter and training services to increase its shellfish conservation ef-forts; an interim contract with Casella Waste for recycled goods disposal, and a memorandum of understanding that will require more frequent marine patrols.

Town Administrator Kristi Eiane said

the bandstand warrant article will ask voters in a June 11 referendum if they want to authorize the town to accept grants and gifts for the special fund.

Dan Huber, vice president of Harp-swell Bandstand Committee, an indepen-dent, nonprofit group that worked on the all-volunteer project, said the fund will be used for performances, maintenance and further improvements.

If the fund is approved by voters, Hu-ber said, the budget for programming and maintenance could be self-sustaining, and of no extra cost to the town.

Huber said his group hopes to officially hand over the bandstand property to the town at an inaugural concert on June 16.

He said it will also mark the debut per-

formance of the new Harpswell Concert Band, which is being led by Bob Modr, president of the Harpswell Bandstand Committee.

That concert and others are still await-ing approval from the Board of Select-

men. Huber said it will be the new com-mittee’s job to maintain the bandstand and also make programming recommen-dations to the board.

“There is a proposed series of concerts pending approval from the selectmen that are scheduled to be held every Thursday evening throughout the summer,” he said. “We’re very pleased to have been able to do that, (to) make this kind of contribu-tion. It involved the labor and donations of many people in the community, and it comes to the community at no taxpayer’s expense.”

In other business, selectmen:• Approved the purchase of a pH meter

and training services from the Friends of Casco Bay to measure the acidity of local clam flats. Eiane said the measure came from the recommendation of Selectman Alison Hawkes to continue the town’s clam conservation efforts.

• Approved an interim contract with Casella Waste for recycled goods dis-posal from Aug. 1 to the end of the year, when the town begins using a single-stream recycling system.

• Approved a memorandum of under-standing with the town’s marine patrol officers that will require them to perform 25 patrols of local waters between May 1 and Oct. 31.

“Overall, it’s the town intent that there be more of a marine resource presence from the water,” Eiane said.Dylan Martin can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 100 or [emailprotected]. Follow him on Twitter: @

Bath council moves toward moratorium on strip clubsBy Alex Lear

BATH — A proposal to open a strip club in the city prompted the City Coun-cil on Wednesday to support a moratorim that temporarily prohibits licenses and permits for so-called “adult-use estab-lishments.”

The council voted 6-2 for the six-month ban, which requires a second vote later this month before it can go into ef-fect. It also raises the question of whether the city can or should regulate this type of business.

Codes Enforcement Officer Scott Davis on Wednesday said a person involved with a strip club in Bangor has expressed interest in bringing a similar business to the Riverside Sports Pub in Bath.

“We have an adult business ordinance that’s geared towards retail stores,” which concerns display and sale of “adult devic-es and materials,” he explained. “It’s re-ally geared toward ... an adult bookstore or a p*rn shop, and I’m of the opinion it doesn’t apply to nude dancing.”

City Solicitor Roger Therriault said there are two competing interests at work in this issue.

“You’ve got a constitutional right to expression ... and you’ve got a state stat-ute that says that you can call a time-out

on certain types of regulations. And the question is whether or not the consti-tutional situation is trumping the state statute,” Therriault said.

“My view of it is that if you adopt that position, then you can’t have any ... moratorium at all, and we would be in a situation where we couldn’t do anything to get the time necessary to take a look at this.”

In an April 26 memorandum to the council, Therriault said “there is signifi-cant confusion” regarding the ordinances, rules and regulations that apply to such businesses.

He recommended the moratorium so that city staff and the Planning Board could “review this complicated area of the law to make sure that the City prop-erly regulates and locates these types of uses, while not infringing on the constitutionally protected rights of such establishments.”

“The vast majority of adult entertain-ment is constitutionally protected and

therefore must be regulated, and not prohibited,” Therriault said.

He said a municipality can regulate these businesses with zoning ordinances designed to “combat secondary effects” and to provide reasonable setbacks from schools, churches, and residences.

The conflict between the city’s right to enact a moratorium and the constitutional freedom of expression was significant for some councilors.

Councilor David Sinclair, who voted with Councilor Andrew Winglass against the moratorium Wednesday, echoed Ther-riault’s opinion that a municipality cannot completely ban such establishments.

“My concern is that the proposed moratorium does exactly that for a period of time,” Sinclair said.

He said the business provides a form of expression entitled to some protection

under the First Amendment, although he supports eventual regulation of such expression.

“The city has, in some respects, unfor-tunately been caught with its pants down, if you’ll pardon the phrase, with respect to regulating this kind of business,” Sin-clair said. “And I understand the want to put the brakes on; I just don’t think it’s permissible.”

Councilor Carolyn Lockwood said she had heard from several constituents that are Bath business owners who are con-cerned about the club. Council Chairman Bernard Wyman said he had also received a call from someone who opposes a strip club in the city.

Officials unsure about Brunswick Landing financing bill By Dylan Martin

BRUNSWICK — Town officials are un-certain about a bill proposed by state Sen. Stan Gerzofsky, D-Brunswick, that would provide Brunswick with a new revenue source.

Town Manager Gary Brown on Monday said the town expressed a stance neither for nor against a few weeks ago when a public hearing was held on LD 1179, “An Act To Create the Brunswick Landing Job Incre-ment Financing Fund.”

“And at the time of the public hearing, two amendments were proposed by the (LePage) administration and neither of those would benefit the town of Bruns-wick,” Brown said.

If the bill passes, the town would receive

annual payments from a fund created from net state income tax generated by new jobs at Brunswick Landing. The town would have to use the payments “to cover munici-pal costs attributable to the development of the base area,” and the fund would sunset by 2025.

The “job increment transfer funds,” as they are called, would go to the town after a required amount is paid to qualified Pine Tree Development Zone businesses and the Brunswick Naval Air Station Job Increment Financing Fund.

The Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority and Southern Maine Community College are recipients of payments from the Brunswick Naval Air Station Job Increment Financing Fund, which was established in

2009.Gerzofsky and town officials don’t al-

ways see eye to eye, but the senator said he doesn’t understand why the town isn’t backing a bill that could bring in extra rev-enue at a time when Brunswick is facing state funding cuts.

“Everything I’ve heard, I didn’t hear any-thing positive,” Gerzofsky said. “It sounds like to me the town doesn’t choose to sup-port it. I don’t know why.”

Gerzofsky said the bill contains language similar to legislation that created the Lor-ing Job Increment Financing Fund in 1995, which provided extra revenue for the town of Limestone after the closing of Loring Air Force Base.

One major difference, however, is that Limestone can use revenue from the Lor-ing Job Increment Financing Fund to fund the costs of municipal services with few, if any, limitations.

LD 1179 lists clear restrictions for Bruns-wick. The town would have to use the rev-enue “to cover municipal costs attributable to the development of the base area.”

Gerzofsky said the revenue could be used to expand the tax base by making improve-ments in commercial areas, like Cook’s Corner, that would attract more businesses. He said that would help the town increase its property tax revenue over time.

But Brown remains unsure of the bill, which has a proposed amendment from the

Maine Department of Economic and Com-munity Development that would require the DECD commissioner to sign off on payments to the town.

He said the town opposes the amendment, along with the suggestion that the town should use the revenue for economic devel-opment purposes for Brunswick Landing.

“What’s the level of revenue (Gerzof-sky) expects to generate and how does he expect it will benefit Brunswick, when it has to go to the commissioner’s approval?” Brown said. “Isn’t it better served giving the money to MRRA instead?”

Gerzofsky said the DECD’s proposed amendment is likely legal language that was supposed to be included in the bill when it was drafted in the revisor’s office.

“I think that’s normal language,” he said, but he did emphasize that despite the cur-rent language of the bill, the revenue could be used for economic development pur-poses for areas around, and not just within, Brunswick Landing.

Executive Director Steve Levesque said MRRA has not taken a position on the bill.

“It didn’t directly relate to us, and given the sensitivities, we just stayed out of it,” Levesque said. “... No one has asked MRRA to take any position on it.”

The bill is expected to go to a work ses-sion within the next few weeks.

Residents, officials respond to proposed Route 24 changesBy Dylan Martin

TOPSHAM — Mid-Coast residents and officials had the chance to provide feedback Monday night on a plan that would recom-mend several changes to Route 24.

Some of the most significant proposals include re-routing a portion of Route 24 away from the Brunswick and Topsham downtown areas, making the road more bicyclist and pedestrian friendly.

The proposed changes are part of the Route 24 Corridor Plan, which is meant to guide the Maine Department of Transpor-tation for future investments when funding becomes available. The public hearing, conducted by a planning committee of the Midcoast Council of Governments, was the fourth part of an eight-part process that began last fall.

Route 24 stretches from Harpswell to Gardiner, and goes through Brunswick, Topsham, Bowdoinham and Richmond.

The meeting at the Topsham Municipal Building drew fewer than 20 people. But the plan to widen bike lanes and make Route 24 more accessible to cyclists and walk-ers was one a major topic of discussion.

Elinor Multer, chairwoman of the Harp-swell Board of Selectmen, expressed un-certainty over implementing the so-called “Complete Streets” approach along the entire route, citing some areas where the road is too narrow.

“There are some places where (in order

to get) three feet away from a bicycle you have to go into the other lane,” Multer said. State law requires motorists to give cyclists three feet of space when passing, although it also allows drivers to use the opposing lane if necessary.

Multer said there also might be conflicting interests between cyclists who want wider bicycle lanes, and those who are concerned about paving over impervious surfaces.

“If this is ultimately going to involve some pressure or some effort to increase paved bicycle lanes,” Multer said, “it seems to me that somewhere they ought to be meeting with people who are concerned about the increased paving, so you don’t have two different concerns operating, each in isolation.”

Jan Tardiff, a Topsham resident, said she is concerned about the high volume of traffic near her Route 24 home and asked if a study could be done to address possible solutions.

“It has increased a lot in the past few years,” Tardiff said. “... I’d love to see a count on how many people use (that section of Route 24) in a day.”

Carol Eyerman, Harpswell’s town plan-ner, said ditches and culverts should be considered in advance of future Route 24 maintenance projects.

The corridor plan has been in develop-ment since last fall, under the guidance of the Midcoast Council of Governments and

a committee of local officials. It began after MDOT designated Route 24 as a “Corridor of Regional Economic Significance.”

The Midcoast Council of Governments will review public comments on June 12.

Other aspects of the corridor plan in-clude increasing signs and marketing efforts on Route 24 for nearby com-munities, creating plans to deal with storm surge inundation, and maintain-ing the current capacity of the corridor.

The committee developed recommenda-tions after considering population, residen-

tial and commuter data; road traffic, crash and condition data, and existing plans and regulations.

The development of the corridor plan will likely conclude later this year. It must be adopted by the Midcoast Council of Gov-ernments, endorsed by the affected commu-nities and ultimately approved by MDOT.

It is not known when MDOT funding will become available. Dylan Martin can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 100 or [emailprotected]. Follow him on Twitter: @

Longtime Newcastle educator to head Morse High SchoolBy Alex Lear

BATH — After 17 years at Lincoln Acad-emy in Newcastle, Jay Pinkerton’s new job will take him about 18 miles down the road.

The New Harbor resident will become principal of Morse High School on Aug. 1 , replac ing Pe-ter Kahl, who was hired in 2007 and an-nounced his resigna-tion last year.

Regional School Unit 1 Superintendent of Schools Patrick Manuel said in an e-mail that the district’s interviewing committee held two rounds of interviews for the new principal and also conducted a site visit before the School Board approved Pinkerton’s appointment.

“We were impressed with Jay’s experi-

ence and ability to lead a high school, his interpersonal skills, caring approach, and his ability to connect with students, staff, and families,” Manuel said.

The position attracted about 30 appli-cants, and Pinkerton’s salary is to be deter-mined, Manuel said.

Pinkerton, 56, became Lincoln Acad-emy’s associate headmaster in 1996, and was promoted to headmaster 10 years later. He was named Maine’s assistant principal of the year in 2003.

He previously taught at Foxcroft Acad-emy in Dover-Foxcroft for 11 years.

In an interview, Pinkerton said that after serving as an administrator in the same building for 17 years, “things run in cycles, and I was thinking about it for a few years, that I just wanted to do something differ-ent.”

When he saw an advertisem*nt for the

Morse job, he said, “it immediately felt like a fit,” adding that as he learned more about the school, he became that much more in-terested in the position.

Pinkerton said he will miss much about Lincoln Academy, which he considers “a kinder, gentler school than when I arrived 17 years ago,” and “a great place to work.”

As headmaster he has functioned as both a superintendent and principal, he explained, “and the superintendent side of things seems to always be pulling you away from what you need to be doing with stu-

dents and teachers in a classroom, (which is) more energizing for me. And I’m really looking forward to being a building-level principal and just being part of the life of the school every day, and getting to know all of the students.”

Pinkerton said he is a strong believer in building relationships within the school community, “so I hope to be able to do that at Morse, like I did here at Lincoln.”

Proposed RSU 1 budget adds 2 teaching positionsBy Alex Lear

BATH — Two teaching positions sup-ported by several Regional School Unit 1 residents are being included in the proposed school budget without increasing the bot-tom line, RSU 1 Business Manager Ruth Moore said this week.

The proposed spending plan of $27.7 million for fiscal 2014 could increase 6.6 percent from this year. After offsetting rev-enues are subtracted, the remaining $18.56 million, an increase of 7.09 percent, would have to be raised through taxes.

Under a new cost-sharing formula that will assess the RSU 1 communities on a per-pupil basis, Bath, West Bath and Wool-wich could see significant school tax in-creases: 6.2 percent in Bath, to $9.1 million; 24 percent in West Bath, to 2.7 million, and 16.4 percent in Woolwich, to $3.6 million.

Arrowsic could see a tax reduction of 2.7 percent, to about $480,000, and Phippsburg school taxes could decline 10.6 percent, to $2.7 million.

Despite the increases, several people at a public budget hearing at Woolwich Central School last month also advocated for adding a certified health teacher at the middle school level. They expressed concerns about issues students face – such as substance abuse, depression and sexual activity – and their desire for adolescents to be educated to make better decisions.

Moore said Tuesday that the health posi-tion would be in the budget. Superintendent Patrick Moore was still figuring out the de-tails to make it happen, but he had informed the School Board it would be included, with no addition to the budget, she noted.

Parents also expressed concern about the size of the current fifth-grade class at Wool-wich Central School, which has one teacher for 28 students. They asked that a new teaching position be created for next year.

That position is to be added to the budget as well, also at no extra cost. Moore ex-plained that low incoming enrollment in the kindergarten class at Phippsburg Elemen-tary School has allowed a teaching position to be shifted from that school – creating a combined kindergarten-first-grade class there – and added at Woolwich.

The budget will go to two public votes: a district budget meeting on May 28, and a budget validation referendum on June 4.Alex Lear can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 113 or [emailprotected]. Follow him on Twitter: @learics.

SAD 75 board OKs budget with 4.1% tax hikeBy Alex Lear

TOPSHAM — A School Administra-tive District 75 budget for next year that proposes a 4.4 percent increase, resulting in a 4.1 percent tax hike, goes to voters twice this spring.

The SAD 75 Board of Directors voted 8-2 in favor of the $34.7 million fiscal 2014 spending plan April 25, with mem-bers Jane Scease and James Conners opposed.

If the budget is approved, the local contribution from SAD 75’s four commu-nities – Topsham, Harpswell, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham – could increase 4.1 percent, to $19.6 million.

Topsham’s taxes would increase 5.2 percent, to $7.9 million; Harpswell’s, 3.6

percent, to $6.9 million; Bowdoin’s, 5.5 percent, to $2.3 million, and Bowdoin-ham’s, 0.9 percent, to $2.5 million.

Planned additions in next year’s spend-ing plan include a new librarian, and restoration of a school resource officer, who would serve mainly at Mt. Ararat High School and as needed at Mt. Ararat Middle School.

About $260,000 could be added in spe-cial education funding to cover potential out-of-district placements, transportation and additional educational technician support.

The district also expects to cut half the time of both a physical education teacher and an art teacher at the high school, and half a Spanish position at the high and

middle schools.Budget challenges and declining en-

rollment in Chinese language classes are factors behind the proposed elimination of that program in next year’s budget, although several community members have asked that the program be restored.

“I just feel that we’ve cut too much,” Scease said on Monday, adding that she thinks the SAD 75 communities would rather not see those cuts.

Conners praised the work of the Finance Committee in developing the budget, noting that “we cut back lots of things,” but saying he would like to see more done, if possible, to keep taxes down.

Although SAD 75 expected to get

$13.3 million in subsidy from the state for fiscal 2013, it ended up receiving $13.15 million. The district is projected to receive $13.9 million in fiscal 2014, although it also expects to shoulder most of a new burden of nearly $500,000, as a result of Gov. Paul LePage’s proposed shift in teacher retirement funding.

While the state and employees now contribute to that funding, LePage is call-ing for school districts to pick up about half the state’s share.

The spending plan will undergo two public votes – a May 23 district budget meeting, and a June 11 budget validation referendum.

Bath man accused of assault now faces gross sexual assault chargeBy Beth BroganBangor Daily News

BATH — A Bath man arrested in March for allegedly beating another man until he was uncon-scious has been in-dicted on two charges in connection with the case, including gross sexual assault.

Christopher Graf-fam, 30, was charged March 20 with Class B aggravated assault after police said he beat a 31-year-old Topsham man with his fists at an apartment on Washington Street.

Rescue took the man to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick and then trans-ferred him to Maine Medical Center in Portland with injuries that were not life-threatening, Bath Police Chief Michael

Field said at the time.Graffam posted $500 bail stemming

from the original charge and was re-leased.

On March 23, police again arrested Graffam and charged him with gross sexual assault, Bath police Lt. Bob Sa-vary said Tuesday.

Savary said the victim was beaten so badly that he was unconscious after the attack and wasn’t able to tell police the extent of his injuries.

He since has been released from Maine Medical Center, Savary said.

Savary said further developments in the case resulted in the gross sexual assault

charge, as well as aggravated criminal trespass. The latter charge is for allegedly “bursting into the apartment uninvited and dragging (the alleged victim) down the stairs.”

Graffam remained at Two Bridges Re-gional Jail. The amount of his bail, if any, was unavailable Tuesday.

The ViewFrom Away

Mike Langworthy

An urge for revenge in the land of the loonieMy coworkers on this TV show, who are almost ex-

clusively Canadian, have been friendly and welcoming. So have the other people I have run across in To-ronto, for the most part. One exception occurred at a suburban movie theater, where a woman wheeled on me and said I was standing too close to her in the ticket line. That one was just weird.

The other happened when I checked my cell phone during a screening of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.” I know. Guilty with an explanation, your honor. I do not want to miss an emergency call from home because my phone is off. I had it on vibrate, and it’s not like I was playing “Minecraft.” Not good enough for the guy behind me. He interrupted the conversation he and

his buddy had been having since the trailers began to tell me to turn off my phone.

Several people have gone out of their way to tell me everything that is wrong with America, as if they have been gunny-sacking their resentment for a lifetime, waiting to meet an actual American, so they can unload on them. Maybe they think that because I am living here, I must be “one of the good ones,” who does not mind people trashing his country. It is surreal, being surrounded by people who kind of look and sound like Americans, but do not think like them and don’t seem to like them all that much. Sometimes I feel like say-ing, “You know I am one of the people you’re talking about, right?”

The other side of the coin, or loonie (the Canadian dollar coin with a picture of a loon on it), surfaced in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings.

The same people who bashed the U.S. with no ap-parent concern about my reaction went out of their way to express their condolences. A particularly poignant example was a barista I have befriended at a local cof-fee bar. He never missed an opportunity to tell me how arrogant and bullying we are around the world. When I

ran into him the day after the bombings, I fully expected him to gloat about the U. S. getting a comeuppance.

Instead, he rather sweetly told me how sorry he was about the bombings, as if they had happened to me per-sonally. I think he wanted to tell the whole country how sorry he was for our loss, but I was the only one there. For a moment he wasn’t a Canadian who resented being forced to put up with a nouveau riche, gauche neighbor. It was as if Canada and The States were brothers who fight a lot and may not even like each other that much, but will go to the wall for each other against anybody outside the family.

My barista friend surprised me again with the violence of his feelings. He was furious that the police killed one of the alleged bombers. He wanted them both taken alive so somebody could torture them (strong language omitted). It was kind of shocking to hear this sentiment from a guy who derided America for charging around the world, getting its way at gunpoint. I do not agree with him, though I understand the urge.

It got me thinking: Now that a little dust has settled,

The UniversalNotebook

Edgar Allen Beem

It’s nobody’s fault but our own

As America attempts to come to terms with health-care reform, the national debt, immigration reform, climate change and the epidemic of gun violence, the fault lines that threaten a more perfect union are becoming pretty darn obvious. They run along cultural divides, geographic borders, philosophical differences, personal attitudes and partisan boundaries.

Here’s the way I see the Great American Fault Lines running, sometimes as broad chasms that separate the radical few from the moderate many, but mostly as hairline fractures that may eventually develop into social disintegration if we don’t find a way of mending them.

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

what would constitute justice in this case?I wonder if retribution would help the populace heal.

I was in a sports bar when the news broke about Osama Bin Laden’s death. It was wall-to-wall televisions showing different programs. Within seconds, they all switched to news coverage. Management switched the biggest screens to a news channel. The customers were riveted. You could have heard a pin drop during the initial stories. Most people in the bar cheered when the president came on and made the official announcement.

The atmosphere in the bar became buoyant. I felt, more than anything else, a strong sense of relief and also release, as if I had thrown off a weight I had forgotten I was carrying. Since Bin Laden’s death, that weight has not returned. I do not like admitting it, but I confess to feeling more confident about our ability to defend ourselves. The U.S. feels a little less like the aging, overweight fighter who hasn’t kept up with the tactics the new kids are using. I wasn’t crazy about the vindic-tive glee, both mine and others’, when Bin Laden was killed, but it did make me feel better about the World Trade Center events.

I have never believed that an act of retribution con-tributed to a feeling of justice served, yet it did for me in the case of the perpetrator of one of the more heinous acts during my life. A barista in Canada who wears a keffiyeh as a fashion statement wants one in response to the Boston bombings. I do not agree, but I do under-stand. More than that, I empathize, which frightens me. It is disturbing to confront how much of the primitive still lurks within me.

John Dykstra Eusden, 90: Led a long and thoughtful lifeBRUNSWICK — John Dykstra Eu-

sden, 90, of Brunswick, died April 27 after a brief hospital stay. Before mov-ing to the Thorn-ton Oaks retirement community in 2010, Eusden was a 50-year resident of William-stown, Mass., and a summer resident of Randolph, N.H.

He was born in 1922 in Holland, Mich., to Marie Dyk-stra Eusden and Ray Anderson Eusden Sr. Eusden grew up in Newton, Mass., and attended Rivers Country Day School and Harvard College.

He obtained his master’s and doctoral degrees in religion from Yale Univer-

sity in 1954. He later taught at Yale and Mount Holyoke College before joining the faculty and chaplainship of Williams College in 1960, where he taught until 1992. From 1991 to 2000, Eusden served as the minister of the First Congrega-tional Church in Bennington, Vt.

At Williams, Eusden served as chap-lain and as the Nathan Jackson professor of christian theology and taught several courses in the Center for Environmental Studies. Of all the visiting dignitaries Eu-sden hosted in his capacity as chaplain, he said Martin Luther King Jr. had the greatest impact on his life. Eusden and King collaborated during the civil rights movement, spending time together at Eusden’s home, working with students on the Williams campus, in jail during the Birmingham campaign of 1963, and

walking together in the Selma-to-Mont-gomery march two years later.

Eusden married Joanne Reiman on June 14, 1950, at the Eliot Church of Newton, Mass.

A lifelong athlete, Eusden was an avid and successful competitor. At Harvard and Yale, he was a champion swimmer, basketball and handball player. While captain of the Harvard swim team in 1943, Eusden and his relay team won the championship title in the 880-yard freestyle event in the Amateur Athletic Union national swimming meet in New London, Conn. The world record win qualified the team to participate in the 1944 Olympics, which were never held because of World War II.

Active in the civic life of his many communities, Eusden was a devoted and longtime volunteer, particularly on behalf of the China Lingnan Foundation, where he served as a trustee; the Randolph, N.H., Mountain Club, where he served as a trip leader, board member, and presi-dent; and Chewonki, where he had been a camper, counselor, waterfront director, advisory board member and honorary trustee.

Throughout his life, Eusden treasured time with extended family and friends he considered family, and joined them in travel, sporting events, holidays, and the simple joy of interacting around a dinner table.

Eusden is survived by his wife of 63 years, Joanne Reiman Eusden; his daughter

Andrea Eusden and her husband Charles Armstrong, of Auburn; his son Alan Eus-den and his wife Lynn Eusden, of Corning, N.Y.; his son Dykstra Eusden and his wife Lydia Eusden, of South Paris; his daughter Sarah Eusden Gallop and her husband Andrew Gallop, of Winchester, Mass.; nine grandchildren, Samuel Armstrong, Benjamin Armstrong, William Eusden, Caitlin Eusden, Greg Eusden, Spencer Eu-sden, Riley Eusden, Nicholas Gallop and Julia Gallop; his brother David Eusden, of Bloomfield, Conn.; his sister-in-law Priscilla Eusden of Etna, N.H.; and several nieces and nephews.

Eusden was predeceased by his brother Ray Anderson Eusden Jr., of Etna, N.H.

A memorial service will take place at 1 p.m. Tuesday at First Parish Church in Brunswick. A celebration of Eusden’s life will be planned for the summer in Ran-dolph, N.H. In lieu of flowers, donations in Eusden’s memory may be made to the Randolph Mountain Club, P.O. Box 279, Gorham, NH 03581, or The Chewonki Foundation, 485 Chewonki Neck Road, Wiscasset, ME 04578.

Camillia Jane Thibodeau, 72BRUNSWICK — Camellia Jane

Thibodeau, 72, of Brunswick, died April 22 at Parkview Hospital in Brunswick.

Thibodeau was born July 2, 1940, in Bath, the daughter of Oakley and Helen Clough Thibodeau. She spent her younger years in the Georgetown area and graduated from high school in Tops-field, Mass.

She was a homemaker for many years while raising her children; she later worked at the Children’s Home in Bath and the Skolfield Home in Brunswick until retiring. Thibodeau enjoyed soap operas, cooking, crossword puzzles, reading and her cats.

She is survived by her children and their spouses, Christopher and Sandra Snowdon, of Florida; Theodore and Kris-ten Snowdon, of Wiscasset; James and Kimberly Snowdon, of Locust Grove, Ga.; Holly Snowdon, of West Bath; and George and Chandra Snowdon, of West Bath. She also is survived by her special foster son Johnathan Barter, of Brighton, Mass., along with 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, a brother and a grandson.

Thibodeau will be cremated and her ashes scattered at a later date. Arrange-ments are under the direction and care of Brackett Funeral Home, Brunswick.

Mary B. Hilbert, 77HARPSWELL — Mary B. Hilbert,

77, of Harpswell, died April 25 after a courageous battle with cancer. She spent her final days under the loving care of her husband, Barry Hilbert, at their home on Bailey Island.

Hilbert was born Mary Jeanne Bennett on Sept. 29, 1935, in Thompson Falls, Mont. She was the eldest of four children to W. Roy and Alice Smith Bennett. She was the sister to LeDrew Bennett, of Maple Grove, Minn., Fletcher Bennett, of Sarasota, Fla., and Susan Sturgeon, of Frederick, Colo.

Hilbert graduated from the Univer-sity of Maine in 1957 and was an active member of the Delta Zeta Sorority. She spent many years in the Camden and

Rockland area and served as a head teller at People’s Heritage Bank. She par-ticipated in Red Hat Society luncheons, and was an active golfer, online bridge player, and member of PEO.

She spent many hours watching her family splash in the pool and hosted numerous lobster feeds with friends from near and far. She loved watching the birds outside her window, and also kept an eye on the lobster boats as they passed in and out of Wheeler’s Bay near her summer home in Spruce Head.

Her legacy lives on in her children and their families, Katherine and Jim Raab, of Deerbrook, Wis., Peter and Teri Chris-

tie, of Rancho Mirage, Calif., and Chris and Kaarie Christie, of Rockport; five grandchildren, Nate, Molly, Hayden, Ol-ivia and Sophie; and a great-grandchild, Bentley.

Hilbert will be remembered by her family and all who knew her for her unconditional love and deep friendships.

A celebration-of-life memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday with a luncheon to follow at the Elijah Kellogg Church, in Harpswell.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests do-nations in Hilbert’s name to the Mid Coast Center for Cancer Medicine, 81 Medical Center Drive, Brunswick, ME 04011.

Preventing carbon monoxide poisoning on your boatGas-powered boat engines produce car-

bon monoxide, or CO, a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can prove fatal to humans. People exposed to high concen-trations of CO over a short period of time can die from that exposure, as can people exposed to lower concentrations of CO over a longer period of time.

No one gets on a boat expecting to be poisoned by CO. But CO can build up on

a boat rather quickly, and because it has no color, odor or taste, boaters and their passengers may be inhaling CO without knowing it. To protect themselves from CO poisoning, those who plan to go boating should learn to recognize the symptoms of CO exposure and react to their presence as quickly as possible. According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention, the most common symptoms of CO exposure

and poisoning include:• headache • dizziness• weakness • nausea• vomiting • chest pain• confusionMany of the symptoms of CO poison-

ing are also indicative of seasickness, so boaters and their passengers exhibiting any of the aforementioned symptoms should consider that they might be suffering from seasickness, which is not nearly as risky to a person’s overall health as CO poisoning.

In addition to learning about CO, boat owners should take steps to prevent CO poi-soning on their boats. At the onset of each boating season and before each trip, inspect your boat’s CO detector to make sure it is working properly. When it is, the detector will alert boat owners and their passengers to elevated levels of CO in the cabin. Boat owners should keep a brand new backup

detector on their boat so they won’t have to cancel a trip should they arrive at their boat only to find out their existing detector is not functioning properly.

In addition to installing and maintaining your CO detector, the CDC recommends the following preventive measures to re-duce you and your passengers’ risk of CO poisoning.

• Swim and play away from areas where engines vent their exhaust.• Keep a watchful eye on children when they play on rear swim decks or water platforms.• Do not block exhaust outlets. When such outlets are blocked, CO can build up in the cabin and the co*ckpit.• Do not dock or anchor within 20 feet of another boat that is running an engine or generator because exhaust

Boat owners must take steps to protect themselves and their passengers from exposure to carbon monoxide.

from nearby vessels can send CO into the boat’s cabin or co*ckpit.

Preventing CO exposure and poisoning also involves teaching passengers to recog-nize its symptoms. It’s easy for boaters to get distracted when hosting passengers on their boats, so make sure passengers know how to recognize potential CO issues. Keep a list of exposure symptoms in an accessible common area on your boat so passengers can familiarize themselves and recognize any potential problems that might arise.

A case of CO poisoning can quickly turn a relaxing day on the boat into an emergen-cy situation. Boat owners owe it to them-selves and their passengers to take preven-tive measures to ensure no one is exposed to or poisoned by CO while out on the water.

Maia Sharp, Big Sandy top the billBy Scott Andrews

May arrives this week with a plethora of sunshine and flowers, plus an equal bounty of arts and entertainment.

A superb singer-songwriter and a leading Americana-rockabilly band are two of the top offerings at Portland’s One Longfellow Square. First up is singer-songwriter Maia Sharp. Then it’s Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys, a four-man Americana band.

Three of southern Maine’s largest music producers and presenters are currently wrapping up their classical seasons. The biggest item is Portland Symphony Orches-tra’s finale, two performances of a program devoted to one work by Gustav Mahler, a classical composer who foreshadowed the modern era.

The final classical offering on Portland Ovations’ 2012-1013 calendar is Imani Winds, a fivesome whose program focuses on modern works.

The University of Southern Maine School of Music is wrapping up its spring semester, and professor Bruce Fithian is wrapping up his longtime teaching gig there. Recogniz-ing this milestone, Fithian Fest, a public celebration, happens in Gorham.

Maia SharpIt’s not schizophrenia, but there are two

sides to singer-songwriter Maia Sharp. Within the music biz, she’s known as tune-smith and lyricist who boasts a platinum list of performers: artists such as Cher, Bonnie Raitt, Dixie Chicks, Tricia Yearwood and Art Garfunkel.

Less known, unfortunately, is her con-siderable skill as performer of her own material. Maybe that’s starting to change, as Sharp returns from on a national concert

tour as Raitt’s opening act. Mainers can learn firsthand about Sharp’s vocal and interpretive abilities when she appears in concert this Friday at One Longfellow Square in Portland.

Sharp will be promoting her newest album, “Change the Ending.” The first cut on the CD was released as a single: “Me After You,” is a driving, tuneful take on the emotional cost of a romantic breakup that greatly impressed me when I attended her OLS concert last July.

Catch Maia Sharp at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress streets, at 8 p.m. May 3. Call 767-1757

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite BoysOne of our country’s most successful

Americana bands will be visiting One Longfellow Square on May 9.

As explained by Allmusic critic Craig Harris: “Authenticity is the key to the mu-sic of Rockabilly Hall of Fame members Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys. Although they’ve moved from their rockabilly roots to a sound that encompasses folk, bluegrass, Western swing, Cajun, and mariachi influ-ences, the ... band continues to be faithful to the music of the past.”

Inspired by the rockabilly revival of

the 1980s, the group’s eponymous leader found success writing and performing in the genre with various bandmates in southern California. The Fly-Rite Boys (initially two of them) began in 1988, and in various permutations of up to six they’ve been per-forming with Big Sandy ever since. They’ve recorded nine CDs, the most recent being 2006’s “Turntable Matinee.”

The opening act will be King Memphis, the Port City’s own rockabilly favorites.

Catch this great double bill at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland, at 8 p.m. May 9. Call 761-1757.

Portland Symphony OrchestraLast week, the Portland Symphony Or-

chestra ended its season of Pops concerts. This Sunday and Tuesday, it’s goodbye to 2012-1013 as the PSO makes its seasonal exit with two performances of a program featuring one major work.

Maestro Robert Moody has selected Gus-tav Mahler’s passionate Symphony No. 5. PSO program annotator Mark Rohr notes that this late 19th-century work is almost as well known as Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven.

“The ominous trumpet call that opens the symphony is one of the most memorable moments in Western music, every bit as distinctive as the opening of Beethoven’s Fifth,” explains Rohr. “The funeral march that follows is a relentless tragedy, harrow-

ing and inconsolable. The faster middle section is even more anguished.”

By contrast, the work’s finale is relent-lessly cheerful, and Rohr comments that “Mahler’s music could express the depths of despair and the exhilaration of joy, often simultaneously.”

The performance will be dedicated to the victims of the Boston Marathon bomb-ings in a gesture of musical sympathy by Moody, an avid runner himself.

Catch the Portland Symphony Orches-tra’s final two concerts of the season at 2:30 p.m. May 5 and 7:30 p.m. May 7 at Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall. Call Port-Tix at 842-0800.

Imani WindsPortland Ovations wraps up its classical

offerings for 2012-2013 with North Amer-ica’s premier wind quintet. Imani Winds is one of the most successful chamber music ensembles in the U.S. The ensemble has received many awards including the 2007 ASCAP Award, the 2002 CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming and a Grammy nomination.

The fivesome’s innovative programs and commitment to commissioning new works are evident in their Portland Ova-tions debut, which will include Carlos Franzetti’s “Serenata” and Jason Moran’s “Cane.” Noting the limited repertoire for wind quintet, Imani has also been active in commissioning transcriptions and adapta-tions of classical favorites written for other instruments and ensembles. These include Henri Tomasi’s “Cinq Danses,” Claude Debussy’s “Bruyere” and Igor Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring.”

Catch Imani Winds at 7:30 p.m. May 2 at the Abromson Community Education Center, 88 Bedford St. on the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus. Call PortTix at 842-0800.

Fithian Fest at USMFor the past three decades, Bruce Fithian

has been at the center of southern Maine’s musical life in a variety of roles: organist, pianist, vocalist, choir director, composer, impresario and professor. This spring he’s retiring after 29 years at the University of Southern Maine School of Music, and a very public retirement party is planned this Saturday on USM’s Gorham campus.

They’re calling it “Fithian Fest,” and the evening of free music will include some of his compositions, a performance by several of the church choirs that he leads plus a few of his former students who have succeeded in opera, concert and musical theatre. Cur-rent USM students and colleagues will also take part, headed by professor Robert Rus-sell directing the school’s Chamber Choir. St. Mary’s Schola, an early music consort that Fithian leads, will also perform.

“The excitement in this program is gen-erated as we showcase many of the myriad talents that Bruce has developed throughout his professional life,” says Russell, a long-time colleague. “Bruce is a consummate musician, a beautiful interpreter of early music, and a colleague of the highest in-tegrity. I have been privileged to know him and to make music with him.”

Catch this free concert at 8 p.m. May 4 at Corthell Hall on the USM Gorham campus. Call 780-5555.

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys, a top Americana-rockabilly band, will appear May 9 at One Longfellow Square in Portland.

Residents will have an opportunity to formally express their opinions about the fiscal 2014 spending plan at the first public budget forum on Monday, May 6.

Some have already made it clear where they stand.

Councilors shared their thoughts at a workshop with the School Board on April 25, where they also discussed what they’ve heard from constituents.

“I’ve been mulling this over a little bit and thinking about what my constituents have said to me, is ‘how can we afford this?’ I can’t afford this,” Councilor David Watson said. “... I’m just sitting here won-dering, is there some sort of vehicle that we can find out what Brunswick can afford and what it can’t afford. ... At what point will it break this community? That’s the last thing I want to see.”

Councilor Benet Pols said the council

has already received several pieces of cor-respondence, either in support of or opposi-tion to the proposed budget, some of which he posted on his website.

“I am puzzled/alarmed that the ‘powers that be’ in our town can even imagine that the local citizens can afford this type of increase,” wrote residents Faith and Jim Lo-gan in one letter produced by Pols. “... It is NEVER easy to say, ‘NO’ or make budget cuts whereby services are reduced or town/school employees might lose their jobs. However, we live in an economy where tough cuts and choices must be made.”

In a letter supporting the school budget, another constituent said she “was struck that this was the first year in several where the fo-cus was on education, not slashing budgets.”

“This is the time to act to ensure we con-tinue to support our children and educators,” Alyssa Goodwin wrote, “in a way that al-lows them to provide the quality education Brunswick parents and residents expect.”

Councilor John Richardson asked Su-

perintendent of Schools Paul Perzanoski if there is any way his department could publish a document that shows the different kinds of revenue the town has lost over time.

“It’s significant to know this is not just the reduction in state aid for Brunswick,” Perzanoski responded. “This is the removal of impact aid of the base closing; this is the loss of approximately a million dollars in tuition that we used to get each year from Durham due to consolidation. So if you put all those three things together, like you said in the past, this is the perfect financial storm.”

The $35.7 million school budget repre-sents a 6.6 percent increase in expenditures and 10.32 percent in taxes. The $21.4 mil-lion town budget represents a nearly 7.1 per-cent increase in expenditures and 1.41 per-cent tax increases. The $1.2 million county budget represents a 5.6 percent increase in expenditures and 0.24 percent tax hike.

Town and school budget documents are available on the town website.

School Board member Rich Ellis on Monday said he hopes the Town Council will consider all aspects of the budget moving forward. He also acknowledged the difficult road ahead, as the council and board attempt to whittle down the proposed tax hike.

“A 12 percent increase for myself is go-ing to be a difficult thing to address,” Ellis said. “I know that’s challenging. I also know it’s unprecedented. ... It’s in my belief if we’re going to get some reductions, we need to work collaboratively and we need to look at both ends of the budget.”

The public forum on Monday will be held at the Town Council’s 7 p.m. meeting at the municipal meeting room on the second floor of Brunswick Station, 16 Station Ave. The combined budgets must be finalized by May 23.

The town will vote on the school budget on June 11.Dylan Martin can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 100 or [emailprotected]. Follow him on Twitter: @

the data to improve student achievement.“It contains areas that shows where

we are doing well and areas that need focus. Any school is constantly working to improve student achievement,” RSU 1 Superintendent Patrick Manuel said. “We can use this data to improve math and lit-eracy scores, and work with students who are currently not meeting the proficiency standards on these standardized tests.”

The Maine School Performance Grad-ing System, administered by the Depart-ment of Education, uses an A-F scale to

grade the state’s 600 public schools based on standardized testing.

A Maine DOE website that contains the full database of report cards and information on the scoring methodology was released on Wednesday.

Superintendents received the grades on Monday.

“We understand a letter grade does not tell the whole story of a student, nor does it tell the whole story of a school,” Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen said in a Wednesday statement. “Rather, this is a good-faith effort to condense the reams of data the department already collects into an accessible snapshot of

where our schools are today, showing areas where we are doing well and those where we need to improve.”

The report cards are split in two dif-ferent data sets, for high schools, and for elementary and middle schools.

High school report cards are based on four- and five-year graduation rates, and math and reading proficiency and progress. Report cards for elementary and middle schools are based solely on the latter.

The grading is based on a bell curve, which means there are an equal amount of A and F grades, and a high volume of C grades.

In RSU 1, the state gave C grades to Morse High School, Bath Middle School, Fisher-Mitchell School and Woolwich Central School. Phippsburg Elemen-tary School received a B, and West Bath School scored the lowest with a D.

Manuel said the test score data for West Bath School doesn’t match the low grade it received. He said DOE’s data team is looking into the discrepancy.

Despite the potential error and other grades, Manuel said he’s not on the de-fensive about the new report card system.

“A lot of this data is not new to us,” he said.

to idle for 15-20 minutes when prepar-ing to leave for Brunswick Station. She said the layover facility will allow the Downeaster service to add a third daily round trip to Boston.

When asked about the health risks of diesel train emissions, Quinn said that all trains are compliant with U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency standards. In a November 2012 report from a local newspaper, she was quoted as saying, “Anecdotally, I can tell you it’s not harmful.”

Members of Brunswick West have contested this claim with their own evidence, including a 2011 report from the Environmental Defense Fund, titled “Smokestacks on Rails,” that links oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter emis-sions from diesel trains with premature death and disease.

Hilary Sinnamon, a clean air consul-tant with EDF, worked on the study. She said part of its purpose was to push for

delayed EPA action to tighten its stan-dards for locomotive diesel emissions.

“It was our intent to sort of explain the health burden as a result of the locomo-tive emissions and outline the potential benefits for EPA action,” Sinnamon said.

In 2008, EPA updated its standards for locomotive diesel standards and made them more stringent.

But some trains didn’t have to comply with the updated standards, Downeaster trains included.

The Amtrak trains used for Downeas-ter service are General Electric Genesis P42DC models and were manufactured between 1996-2001, according to Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole.

This means they must meet EPA’s Tier 0 diesel standards, the least stringent standard for locomotives.

However, Cole said because “there are no certified remanufacturing systems available from any manufacturer,” the Amtrak trains are unable to comply with the updated Tier 0 standard in 2008 (known as Tier 0+).

He said Amtrak “requested and re-

ceived a waiver from the EPA” in 2009 to comply with the older Tier 0 standard.

Though the trains cannot be updated to comply with more stringent emission standards, Cole said all Amtrak trains have transitioned from using “low-sulfur to ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, which has reduced emissions.”

In addition, he said, automatic engine stop-start systems were installed in all trains between 2003 and 2005.

When Parsons Brinckerhoff conducted the 2011 siting report for NNEPRA, the firm included an assessment that found no significant health risks associated with the operation of a layover facility near a residential neighborhood.

The assessment was based on several factors: six Downeaster trains passing the facility every day, one or two freight trains passing every day; three Downeas-ter trains stored overnight within the facility, three Downeaster trains returning to the facility during the day for cleaning and restocking, and a gas-fired heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system.

Despite the assessment and other as-

surances, McEvoy and other members of Brunswick West said they still believe the facility will have an adverse impact on their neighborhood.

“There’s going to be a concentration of trains at the layover facility,” McEvoy said,

“so some portion of Brunswick is going to have a deterioration of the air quality.”

Quinn said in the coming months, NNEPRA will begin meeting with an advisory group that includes neighbors from Brunswick West, town officials, state officials and representatives from Consigli Construction Co. of Portland, which was awarded the design and construction contract for the facility in March.

“I think we acted very cooperatively to provide as much information as we can to people and explain what we’re doing,” she said.Dylan Martin can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 100 or [emailprotected]. Follow him on Twitter: @

In SAD 75, the state gave C grades to Mt. Ararat Middle School, Woodside Elementary School, Bowdoin Central School and Bowdoinham Commu-nity School. Mt Ararat High School and Harpswell Community School received B grades, while Williams-Cone School received an A.

SAD 75 Superintendent Brad Smith said the grades provide an “incomplete picture” of how schools perform.

“It’s an oversimplification and an at-

tempt to simplify a set of factors that affect a school’s performance,” he said.

Smith said the report cards don’t ac-count for other factors, like how students are performing in social studies and science, the availability of gifted and talented programs, and whether students feel safe in school, among other aspects.

In Brunswick, the state gave B grades to Brunswick High School and Bruns-wick Junior High School. Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School re-ceived a C.

Coffin Elementary School was not issued a report card because the school

only teaches kindergarten through second grade.

Rep. Matthea Daughtry, D-Brunswick, a member of the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee, said she is concerned the state is implementing a report card system when the state is preparing to move away from a grade-based system.

“Yet here we are smacking these grades on these school systems,” she said.

Smith echoed Daughtry’s concerns.“Next year is the last time those tests

will be administered, he said. “The whole state of Maine is being switched to another assessment system. ... There’s

going to be an 18-month gap where no assessment is given.”

Daughtry said her committee will be-gin looking into what resources the state used to implement the new report card system and may take action based on their findings.

“I do like the idea of having easily ac-cessible facts about schools,” Daughtry said, “but I think the methodology is too simplified and too stigmatized, and simply doesn’t accomplish what it set out to do.”Dylan Martin can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 100 or [emailprotected].
