Library site plan
public hearing
set for July 15
By Wendy Derzawiec
The Planning Board will hold a public
hearing July 15 on a site plan for a new addition and renovation to the Thomas Memorial
Library.
Plans are to remove a connector building
between the former Pond Cove School annex, which fronts Scott Dyer Road and now
houses the main library collection, and the
former Spurwink School, which houses the
children’s collection and was also the original 1919 library.
A new, two-story, 13,000-square-foot addition would replace the connector, leaving
space between it and the Spurwink School
building. The new space would become
a “reading garden” and “family discovery

application from the town complete and set
the public hearing.
The Planning Board will be concentrating
on the plan’s conformance to standards for
the Town Center zoning district where the
library is located.
Parking for 53 spaces – 16 more than the
required 37 – will be extended onto what is
now a grassy area for overflow parking, with
the current parking area reconfigured to allow a drop-off zone for cars and possibly
buses. The lot will include landscaped islands to meet Town Center design standards.
Town Councilor Molly MacAuslan, who
served on the Library Planning Committee
and now on the Library Building Committee,
said the plan works within the committee’s
charge to develop an expansion/renovation
project at a cost not to exceed $4 million.

Cellphone towers
will not top Cape
water tower ... yet
By Elizabeth Brogan
The Zoning Board of Appeals closed
another door on requests by cellphone
companies to “co-locate” cell towers on an
80-foot-tall, 69-year-old water tower at 11
Avon Road, as it denied a Request for Reconsideration by Verizon Wireless at a June
24 meeting.
Background
The Avon Road water tower, built in 1945
but dry since 2007, is owned by the Portland Water District and currently used only
for antennas installed by the Portland Water
District in 1985 to communicate with Cape’s
pumping station and water treatment plant.
The cellular companies Verizon and
AT&T purchased leases from the Portland
Water District in 2013. Neighbors were
notified of cell tower plans in September,
2013, and both companies requested building permits for their own antenna and other
communications equipment in February and
April, 2014, respectively. Cape Elizabeth
Code Enforcement Officer Ben McDougal,
issued a denial to Verizon in March and to
AT&T in May.
According to McDougal, neither set of
plans met the requirements of Cape Elizabeth’s zoning ordinance, which would allow
an “accessory use” of an “alternative tower
structure” for an antenna only if the antenna
would be incidental or subordinate to the
principle use of the tower, with the tower
used for a purpose other than to support antennas. With the tower dry since 2007 and
currently used only for a Portland Water District antenna, McDougal said that the plans
of the cellular companies “do not comply
with either definition in our ordinance.”
Both companies appealed those denials to
the ZBA, which heard arguments on May 27.

Hundreds of volunteers needed for Aug. 2 TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race!
Volunteers are needed for the TD Beach
to Beacon 10K Road Race on Saturday, Aug.
2, as well as in the days leading up to the
event.
“If you’re not running the race, the best
way to experience the positive energy of this
incredible community event is by volunteering,” said Volunteer Coordinator Maya
Cohen of Cape Elizabeth. “Our volunteers
play a major role in making the TD Beach to
Beacon a prestigious, well-run and fun event,
year after year.”
While many have already signed up to
donate their time, Cohen said volunteers
are still needed for the parking and shuttle
program as well as recycling. There are also
spaces available before the race assisting in
runner registration on Friday, Aug. 1 and
also for the Kid’s Fun Run that same day at
Fort Williams.
New and returning volunteers can sign
up on the race website at http://www.beach2beacon.org/VOLUNTEER.
In return for their efforts, volunteers receive a commemorative tech T-shirt and
are invited to a party during race week in a
coastal Cape Elizabeth locale, organized exclusively for them.
The road race needs about 800 volunteers
to ensure a smooth operation for the 6,000plus recreational runners and world-class
athletes alike who will wind their way from
Route 77 near Crescent Beach State Park to
Fort Williams Park and the Portland Head
Light.
A list of available jobs can be found
on the race website and is updated daily.
Groups interested in volunteering together
should contact Maya Cohen at cohemm@
gmail.com.
Helping out also brings many volunteers
close to the action and excitement, such as
providing water to the elite runners, helping
runners get on shuttle buses at the three satellite lots or working on the Kid’s Fun Run
the evening before the race.
The race also honors a longtime volunteer with a special annual award. The 2013
Volunteer of the Year award went to Dorothy Diggs of Portland, a therapeutic massage
specialist who has volunteered on the race’s
massage therapy team for all 16 TD Beach
to Beacons.
Those under age 18 cannot register online
and need to download an application from
the website. Please call (207) 838-8816 or
email [email protected] with questions.
This year marks the 17th year for the TD
Beach to Beacon 10K, which filled up online
in less than five minutes and is considered
one of the gems on the U.S. road race circuit.
In 2013, a record-setting 6,244 runners from
16 countries, 39 states and more than 250
Maine cities and towns finished the race.
The 2014 race beneficiary is Rippleffect,
a Portland-based nonprofit youth and community development organization leading
outdoor adventure programs on Cow Island,
in area schools and in the mountains of western Maine. The organization will receive a
check for $30,000 from the TD Charitable
Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD
Bank.
Other major corporate partners include
Hannaford, Nike, Poland Spring, Fairchild
Semiconductor, IDEXX, Northeast Delta
Dental, MaineHealth, Dead River, Olympia
Sports and WCSH6.

hotline at (888) 480-6940 or find the race on

NATURAL HAPPENINGS
‘Dog days’ in Cape Elizabeth
save the date
By Erika Carlson Rhile,
Cape Elizabeth Land Trust Education
Committee chair
Here’s what to watch and listen for in
July in Cape Elizabeth:
July 3: The “dog days” of summer began. The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the
traditional period of the dog days as the
40 days beginning July 3rd and ending
August 11th, coinciding with the ancient
heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star,
Sirius. Dog days were popularly believed
to be an evil time when “the Sea boiled,
the Wine turned sour, Dogs grew mad,
and all other creatures became languid;
causing to man, among other diseases,
burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies.”
July 12: Full Moon. Native American tribes knew this as the “Full Buck
Moon” since it was when male deer
would grow their new antlers.
July 28-29: Peak of Delta Aquarids
meteor shower. Look for up to 20 meteors per hour radiating from the constellation Aquarius. This should be a good
year because the crescent moon will set
early in the evening leaving dark skies
for viewing.
Is your yard turning brown? Watch
out for Japanese beetle grubs; adults are
heading for the roses.
Red-winged blackbirds’ babies have
fledged. A small percentage of parents
will raise a second brood.
Tiny spring peepers and toads have
recently metamorphosed and are leaving
their natal pools.
Listen for cicadas. Adults emerge after 17 years of feeding on roots.

Tri for Preservation events, set for August 17, will raise funds for conservation in Cape
The Cape Elizabeth Land Trust 2014 Tri
for Preservation, presented by Noyes, Hall
& Allen Insurance, is scheduled for Sunday,
August 17 at 7:30 a.m. at Crescent Beach
State Park. Now in its third year, the Tri for
Preservation features a sprint distance triathlon, duathlon, and aquabike competition
as well as a team relay triathlon competition.
“The Tri for Preservation is one of two
signature summer events hosted by the
Cape Elizabeth Land Trust,” said CELT
Executive Director, Chris Franklin. “Both
the Paint for Preservation on July 13, and
the Tri for Preservation on Aug. 17 are designed to bring attention to our important
land conservation work and to raise funds
for our nonprofit conservation mission.”
In each of the last three years, the Tri for
Preservation attracted more than 300 participants and twice as many spectators and
volunteers.
Sprint Triathlon, Aquabike,
Duathlon, and Triathlon Relay
The Tri for Preservation triathlon consists of a 500-yard ocean swim along the
well-protected cove of Crescent Beach.
Participants then transition to a 14.5-mile
rolling bike course past the scenic farmlands, woodlands and marshlands of Cape
Elizabeth.
The course concludes with a well-marked
3-mile run along the shore of Crescent Beach
(on a well-maintained fire road) towards
Kettle Cove and back along Route 77.
The Tri for Preservation Duathlon is designed for nonswimmers and features a 1.1mile run followed by the same 14.5-mile
bike and a 3-mile finishing run.
The Tri for Preservation Aquabike is
ideal for those who want to compete but
do not run. The aquabike features the same
swim and bike course as the triathlon, but
the aquabike concludes upon return to the
transition area after the bike leg of the race.
Swimmers, runners and bikers who do
not do triathlons also have the option to
form a team to compete with friends and
family. The Tri for Preservation has set
aside a significant number of slots for triathlon teams again this year.
Wild blueberry pancake breakfast
Following the race, the Cape Elizabeth
Land Trust and the Cape Elizabeth Lions
Club will host a beachside pancake breakfast for all athletes, followed by an awards
ceremony.
Sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America, the pancake
breakfast is free of charge to participants
and available to spectators at the price of
$5 each, proceeds of which will benefit the
Cape Elizabeth Lions Club, whose members will serve breakfast.
Registration
Race registration includes race entry fee,
a pancake breakfast, a Tri for Preservation
T-shirt, park access for the day, and sponsor
gifts. Interested participants may register at
www.capelandtrust.org/triathlon.

Public hearing set for July 14 on increase
of restaurant seats in business zone
The Town Council will hold a public
hearing on July 14, at 7 p.m. at Town Hall
to hear comment on a proposal to raise
the restaurant seating limit allowed in the
town’s two Business A zones from 80 to
100.
The proposal was requested last August
by Lisa and Tony Kostopoulos, owners of
the Good Table restaurant on Ocean House
Road in one of the town’s two BA zones.
The other zone is located on Shore Road.
The Planning Board recommended the
change at its May 22 meeting. At its meeting June 9, the council voted to send the
proposal to its ordinance subcommittee
for concurrent review, and set the public
hearing.
Typically the council does not set hearings on zoning ordinance changes until after
subcommittee review, but in this case councilors agreed to expedite the process that
has already taken more than nine months.

Need New Window Coverings?
By Elizabeth Brogan
Town Council Chair Jessica Sullivan
and Town Council member and Ordinance
Committee Chair Kathy Ray have issued a
memorandum, presented to the council at
its June 9 meeting, detailing the length of
time taken by the Planning Board for review of ordinance amendment proposals.
Sullivan noted, in her brief presentation of the memorandum to the board, that
“everything needs to be thoroughly vetted,”
with some matters more complex than
others, but she said that there have been
complaints from citizens about the length
of time taken for ordinance amendment issues to come before the Planning Board.
The memorandum looks at the last five
such referrals to the Planning Board and
found that the three most recent referrals
all related to zoning ordinance amendments
and took an average of 281 days, or 9 and
a half months, without including time for
the council’s own referral to the ordinance
committee public hearing and final vote.
The memorandum outlined a typical
schedule of review, beginning with the
town’s receipt of a request to consider a
zoning ordinance amendment through to
the effective date of new language. The
period outlined encompassed a whopping
18 months.
“A positive attribute of the lengthy review process is that proposals are thoroughly vetted and considered,” the report
states.
“The opposing perspective is that citizens and others deserve quicker answers,
the length of time makes it difficult for interested parties to determine which of the
many meetings are important to attend and
folks do not have time to attend the many
meetings. There is also uncertainty from
the public on whether or not the Planning
Board role is advisory. Issues become divisive and remain so for an extended period…”
The memorandum recommends that
most proposed zoning amendments be referred to the Planning Board with a “timeline for completion,” typically indicating
that a report is due the Friday following the
three next regular monthly meetings of the
Planning Board.
Also recommended is that the Planning
Board review their own rules and regulations and consider limited procedural votes
at workshop meetings.
Sullivan and Ray planned to attend a
Planning Board workshop to review the
recommendations scheduled for June 17.
Sullivan said she would report back to the
council on that workshop in July.

Cape Elizabeth author Mark D. Diehl
recently won Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance’s 2014 Maine Literary Award
for Speculative Fiction with his dystopian
novel, “Seventeen: Book One.” Nominations are open to all Maine residents, including seasonal residents.
The book depicts a future in which multinational corporations reign supreme, having gained complete control of the world’s
resources, all of its governments and 17
billion human minds. A homeless alcoholic known as the Prophet claims Eadie, a
young waitress, is the general who will lead
a revolution.
Diehl began writing the novel when he
lived in Asia.
“The ‘Seventeen’ series is about what
happens when corporate control becomes
worldwide, becomes absolute,” Diehl said.
“When we moved to Maine, I saw that we
are still independent here. We still have
clean air and clean water, and freedoms that
the rest of the world does not.”
The novel is the second by Diehl, who
lives in town with his wife Jennifer and
daughter Myra.

Stepping into the Sesquicentennial
Edward I. Woodbury
A Cape Courier series by Cape Elizabeth resident
Ellen Van Fleet follows the Civil War through the eyes
of people who lived in Cape Elizabeth 150 years ago,
when the Civil War was in its third year. Using Portland
author Paul Ledman’s book, “A Maine Town Responds,”
as the main guide, the series includes both short entries
from the Portland Transcript, a newspaper, and letters
from a local soldier who served on the western front.
Items from the Portland Transcript and from soldiers’
letters are reported verbatim.
July 9, 1864 – Farmers have well advanced with their haying in this vicinity…
The Hay crop about here will be large and
of good quality. [Portland Transcript]
…There is no cause for despondency. Our army is hanging like a
bulldog at the throat of the Confederacy.
Let the public mind meet with constancy
all the minor mishaps of the campaign,
confident that in the end superior numbers
and generalship, and a just cause, must
prevail. [Portland Transcript]
We had a very sober Fourth –
not a single case of drunkenness was before the Court on Tuesday morning. [Portland Transcript]
July 16, 1864 – In Cape Elizabeth, on
Friday week, a little daughter of Mr. Eben
Maxwell, eight and a half years old, came
to her death in a very melancholy manner.
Her Mother was in the city, her father in
the haying field, she had cleaned up the
house, fastened the doors on the inside, and
was climbing out of a window to go to her
father, when the sash came down, caught her
by the neck, and the poor child hung there
until discovered by a little girl who was passing. She was then quite lifeless. [Portland

Plans for the new Custom
House in this city, for which Congress
made an appropriation at the last session,
have been received by Collector Washburn.
The building is to be of granite, will occupy
the site of the old Custom House, and will
extend from Fore to Commercial streets,
the front on each street being similar. [Portland Transcript]
Van Amburgh’s Menagerie will
exhibit in this city on Monday and Tuesday
next. It has been a long time since we have
seen a good collection of animals here and
there will doubtless be a great crowd to see
the show. [Portland Transcript]

The team, which finished the regular season 8-4 and ultimately lost to Yarmouth in the Class

first win over Waynflete in 12 years.
Cape Elizabeth High School’s softball team, pictured this spring at Capano Field, had its
first undefeated regular season in more than a decade and a half and finished with an 18-1
record. After going 16-0 in the regular season, the team won two playoff games before losing
to Wells at the Western Maine Conference final on June 18 at St. Joseph’s College of Maine
in Standish.

LIBRARY
Summer concert series at the library is underway
The library’s summer concerts began on
Tuesday, July 8 at 6:30 p.m. with pub-style
Irish music by Belfast Brogue, a duo of talented musicians made up of Jud Caswell
and Alfred Lund.
The series continues with Annegret Baier
performing “West African Rhythms and
Songs” on Tuesday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m. Baier, who performed last year as part of the band
“Zulu Leprechauns,” will play authentic hand
drums from West Africa and a variety of traditional percussion instruments. The audience
is invited to participate through singing, hand
clapping and dancing. This show for all ages
is fun as well as educational. Baier returns on
August 5 for an evening drumming workshop for adults and teens. Advance registration for the workshop is required, and can be
done online at the library’s website.
On Tuesday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m., the library welcomes back children’s performer
Danny Lion, a.k.a. Dan Flannery. Danny
Lion delighted families with his original
songs in a show last spring. He is currently
based in New York City but will be performing in Maine this month and was able
to squeeze in a show here in Cape. Old fans
and newcomers are sure to have a fabulous
time singing and dancing with Dan. Visit
the library’s website to learn more about
Danny Lion and to watch some of his fantastic videos.
All outdoor concerts will take place on
the library’s front lawn. If the weather is
nice, feel free to bring a picnic dinner and a
blanket or lawn chair to sit on. In the event of
rain, the concerts will be held in the library’s
Community Room.

Randy Griffin exhibits impressionist oils through July
Through July, the Thomas Memorial Library will showcase the large impressionistic oils of Randy Griffin, a Newburyport,
Massachusetts native and descendant from
the many Griffin, Norton and Morse families who founded Freeport, Scarborough,
Bethel, Livermore and other early settlements.
Griffin paints landscapes, waterscapes,
still life, and occasional portraits. He paints
from life “en plein air” to capture the fleeting essence of a scene; details missed in
snap photography. He can often be found in
the gardens, along the waters, or appreciating our national monuments, brush in hand.
He paints quickly, often in several sessions,
to capture the time or weather condition.
Primarily self-taught, he developed his
impressionist painting style through close
examination of the works of the impressionists and post-impressionists, with techniques adapted from choices made by his
favorites: Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley,
John Henry Twachtman, and John Singer
Sargent, with rich brushwork and glazing
techniques. Like these masters, he may sacrifice an accurate line in favor of an atmosphere or effect. In addition to this art study,
Griffin is a modern artist who employs
technology to retain, frame and display images so he can extend his work in the field
to the studio.
Griffin has shown works in many group
exhibitions and one-man shows in Washington, D.C. and Virginia – occasionally negotiating canvases “freshly off the
brush” while painting on site. This exhibit
is his first in Maine; all works shown are
available for purchase.

Here’s Another
Summer Recipe!
Pond Cove School students stand proudly behind the fruits of their work – one of the raised
beds in the schoolyard’s Natureland area, where, for the sixth straight year, second- and thirdgraders, under the guidance of Cape Elizabeth Master Gardener Beth Owens, planted vegetable and flower seedlings, herbs, potatoes, carrots, and sunflower seeds in five gardens. “In
the fall, when the students come back to school, we will harvest the produce and make flower
arrangements for their Harvest Luncheon. The potatoes and carrots will be given to Judy’s
Pantry,” Owens said, “... One of the goals is to have the students connect locally grown produce and good food choices. More than anything, these activities help them to be respectful of
their schoolyard and the environment. They have proven themselves to be good stewards.”

From left, the Rev. Kelly Moughty of Saint Alban’s; the Rt. Rev. Stephen Lane,
bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Maine; Col. John Mosher, chief of staff of the
Maine Army National Guard; and the Rev. Timothy Boggs, St. Alban’s rector, talk
before the June 22 service at Fort Williams.
One hundred years to the day after St.
Alban’s Episcopal Church was consecrated
as an organized mission on June 22, 1914, a
group turned out to worship in the spot where
the church had its beginnings in 1910.
That year, a group began holding services
under an Army tent at Fort Williams to offer
prayer and comfort to troops and their families stationed there.
During those years, Fort Williams was at
the heart of an enhanced military presence
around the Portland Harbor. In the 1910s,
the U.S. Army asked the Episcopal bishop of
Maine to provide clergy to lead Sunday evening worship for troops and their families.
For several seasons, services were held at the
fort, sometimes under a tent, sometimes in a
gymnasium, and at other spots.
This year, on the evening of June 22, the
Rt. Rev. Stephen P. Lane, the Episcopal bishop of Maine, led a choral service on the fort’s
upper parade grounds to kick off a year of St.
Alban’s centennial celebrations. Col. Jack
Mosher, chief of staff of the Maine Army
National Guard, also spoke at the service.
“It is a delight to return to this hillside
where we started,” said the Rev. Tim Boggs,
rector of the church, now located down the

street on Shore Road. “We return knowing
that starting in a tent, we are a people of a
house made of living stones, alive in our own
era of profound need and change, rooted in
the hospitality of God’s love, a love that will
endure the next 100 years and forever.”

Spectrum Incentive Act. According to Verizon attorney Scott Anderson, the Spectrum
Act allows for expedited permitting for colocation of cell towers on existing structures.
Anderson said that a significant gap in cellphone coverage in Cape Elizabeth would be
addressed by the proposed cell towers.
Several residents spoke against the cell
towers during the four-hour hearing, citing
noise, decreased property values, increased
traffic, and negative visual impact in the
residential neighborhood.
The ZBA upheld McDougal’s building
permit denials, finding both that the local ordinance requirements were not met and that
the proposals of the cell companies failed to

Motion for Reconsideration denied
At its June 24 meeting the Zoning Board
of Appeals decided it would not take any
comments from either the public or Verizon,
although Attorney Anderson was present
and asked to be heard. A motion to allow
five minutes of comment from Anderson
and five minutes from the public was not
seconded. Anderson did manage to make

some comments from the podium, prompting ZBA Secretary Joanna Tourangeau to
call him “out of order.”
The board also decided not to revisit the
substantive issues which had been discussed
at its earlier May 27 meeting, citing the
Cape Elizabeth Zoning Ordinance, which
states that once a decision has been made
by the board, a new appeal or similar application may not be made within a oneyear period, unless it is determined that
“owing to a mistake of law or misunderstanding of fact an injustice was done, or
that a change has taken place in some essential aspect of the case sufficient to warrant
reconsideration.”
Tourangeau said that no such mistake or
misunderstanding had been identified in the
reconsideration request, but that Verizon
only raised “new twists on arguments” already made. “I don’t think that new twists
on arguments constitute evidence of a prior
mistake of law on our part.”
Tournangeau made a motion to deny reconsideration of the May 27 vote, which
was unanimously approved by the five voting members (two members of the ZBA abstained due to their non-participation in the
original May 27 vote).
The June 24 vote is subject to judicial
review, should Verizon choose to proceed
further.
Anderson, in a June 27 email to The Cape
Courier, said that his client was “considering
all options” and that its goal remained that
of improving “deficient cellphone service in
Cape Elizabeth as soon as possible.”
