Verizon sues Cape Fort Williams Arboretum: Taking root and starting to spread
Brogan
to allow antenna ByTheElizabeth
first project of the Fort Williams Arboretum, Cliffside, has been complete for
on water tower
two years – and feedback about the stone
By Elizabeth Brogan
Verizon Wireless filed suit against the
Town of Cape Elizabeth on July 9, in the
U.S. District Court in Portland, seeking to
require the town to issue a permit for its
proposed installation of a cell tower on an
80-foot-tall, 69-year-old water tower at 11
Avon Road.
The water tower, built in 1945, but dry
since 2007, is owned by the Portland Water District and is currently used only for
antennas and other equipment used by the
PWD to communicate with Cape’s pumping station and water treatment plant.
Verizon and AT&T purchased leases
from the PWD in 2013, and subsequently
requested building permits for their own
antennas and other communications equipment in 2014. Cape Elizabeth Code Enforcement Officer Ben McDougal issued
denials to both requests, and appeals to the
Zoning Board of Appeals followed.
The ZBA denied both companies’ appeals, and a subsequent motion for reconsideration was filed by Verizon.
Verizon alleges in its complaint that the

walls, garden amphitheater and paths that
wind around native plantings, with newly
opened views of Casco Bay, has been “overwhelmingly positive,” according to James
McCain, the arboretum project director.
McCain recently sat down at the Local
Buzz to chat about the transformation of
the landscape at Fort Williams Park.
That transformation includes not only
the obviously popular Cliffside, but also
completion of stonework for the “Lighthouse View,” project No. 2 of the arboretum’s 14-phase long-range plan, which
was completed at the end of June with
reclaimed Maine granite. The landscape
boasts a seeded pollinator meadow and yet
another spectacular view.
Children’s Garden is next
The arboretum, a project of the Fort Williams Park Foundation, is now fundraising
for a children’s garden, to be located beside
the pond and tennis courts. (The foundation has recently added the word “park” to
its name for broader appeal beyond Cape
Elizabeth.)
This third project is ambitious, with a total projected cost, including several years’

What will they
miss about
Cape Elizabeth?
As part of Cape Elizabeth High School’s
Senior Transition Project in May, Wellesley College-bound CEHS graduate Jane
Vaughan asked seven members of her
graduating class what they thought they
would most miss about Cape Elizabeth
when away at college.
The following is a collection of excerpts
from those interviews; some responses
have been edited for length.
All photos are by Vaughan.
To check out the plans for the rest of the
Class of 2014, see pages 13, 14, and 15.

“There’s this one place in Cape Elizabeth –
my favorite place. It’s in Robinson Woods,
and it’s this one patch of really green,
beautiful moss that I go to and have
picnics at during the summertime. I think
I’ll miss that the most.”
“The thing I’m going to miss most about
Cape Elizabeth is my family. I’ve tried to
designate at least one day a week to spend
time with them, usually Sunday. And since
I won’t be having that day with my family,
I think homesickness will be a big issue.”
“My family and friends because it’s going
to be definitely hard to make friends at
college. And I feel like Cape is just a small
community, and my college won’t have
that because it’s huge.”

“I will miss the walks down to the beach
the most.”
“I’ll miss the community of people that
I’ve come to know. Also, just being close
to the ocean is really nice ... And I really
like the school here. The teachers are
really great and really care about you.”
“Everyone here, especially the seniors,
all know each other really well, and that
makes it a better learning environment for
everyone ... Just the overall togetherness
of all the students and all the teachers
make it a great place ...”
“I’ll miss the community the most
– how close everyone is and
how we help each other.”

More thoughts about the future of our green spaces and Town Center
I have heard and read a lot about the ideas
for a Town Center. Cape Elizabeth enjoys
some classic architecture, from the town
hall to the library to the older school buildings. Many of the homes in that area reflect a
community that is unique as well as historic.
Tons of potential!
I am happy to hear there are plans for all
the vacated businesses at the blinking light.
Vacationers, potential new businesses and
residents drive through what looks like a
ghost town.
The new deli by the high school prudently
saved as many trees as it could. Smart.
Messing with any green spaces, other than
for maintenance, would be a huge mistake.
Only small communities are able to enjoy
the type of greenbelts we have all around us.
Would the owner of the property between
Town Hall and the Land Trust be willing to
open it as an educational walk for all Capers
–a lovely place where folks of all ages could
take a walk and learn about all the flora and
fauna of that area?

To the Swap Shop ‘good Samaritan’ ...
On a recent hot day at the Swap Shop,
we discovered that a donated electric fan,
marked “Property of the Cape Elizabeth
Swap Shop,” and in use by volunteers, had
been vandalized. How sad.
Along came Sami, our good Samaritan,
who took the time to find a wire and tools
and went to work repairing it, while his very
patient wife and young child watched. We
just want to say, “Thank you, thank you,

And what about the empty lot on the other
side of Town Hall? Why not build there? If
the owner is unwilling, let’s buy it back! A
tasteful structure that blends with the area,
with shops for local artists, a bookstore, upscale clothing, a bakery, etc., would generate
business revenue and taxes and give Cape
Elizabeth a much needed lift. Something to
think about ...

Cape’s 250th Anniversary Committee
prepares for a year of celebration
Submitted by Cape Elizabeth’s
250th Anniversary Committee
If you start seeing a large blue banner
at various summer functions around town
announcing the beginning of “A Year of
Celebration” on Nov. 1, there’s a great explanation!
At its meeting on June 10, 2013, the
Town Council voted to establish the Cape
Elizabeth 250th Anniversary Committee,
with a charge “to provide leadership in
celebrating the 250th anniversary of the incorporation of Cape Elizabeth,” which occurred on November 1, 1765.
On December 9, town councilors appointed residents Catherine Adams, Jane
Beckwith, Carole Anne Jordan, Norman

mittee. Carrie Dyer was later added as
an eighth member. Town Manager Mike
McGovern attends the meetings as staff
representative.
At its first meeting on Feb. 25, Barbara
Powers was elected chairperson, and the
committee began discussing a variety of
events designed to celebrate this important
occasion in Cape Elizabeth’s history. Important partnerships with Cape’s Historical Society, Farm Alliance, Fort Williams
Foundation, Community Services, and the
schools are already underway, with additional contacts being pursued with other
organizations and businesses that may wish
to participate.

away at home on July 8 at age 87.
Hewes, a lawyer, had a long history of
service in Maine and Cape Elizabeth. He
began his political career here when he
was elected to the Cape Elizabeth School
Board. He served as a State Representative
to the Maine Legislature, representing Cape
Elizabeth from 1966 until the late 1970s. He
served as chairman of the Judiciary Committee and, in 1972, was elected Speaker of
the Maine House of Representatives. From
1978-1980, he represented Cape Elizabeth,
South Portland and part of Scarborough in
the Maine Senate.
In 1983 Hewes was appointed Cumberland County Commissioner by Gov. Joseph
Brennan.
Gov. Paul LePage honored Hewes by ordering the State of Maine flags in Cape Elizabeth to be flown at half-staff on July 11, the
day of his funeral. “Mr. Hewes served the

NATURAL HAPPENINGS
‘Supermoon’ on display again in August
By Erika Carlson Rhile,
Cape Elizabeth Land Trust Education
Committee chair
Don’t forget to check out the sky.
A reminder for late July:
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.
Here is what to watch for in August:
Aug. 10: Full Sturgeon Moon. The
moon will be at its closest to Earth –
sometimes called a “Supermoon.” It will
look slightly larger and brighter.
Aug. 12-13: Peak of Perseids Me-
teor Shower, with up to 60 meteors per
hour.
Aug. 18: Conjunction of Venus and
Jupiter. This rare planetary event will be
visible at 4:47 a.m. (just before sunrise).
Look to the east.
Skunks like to lounge by beehives,
catching and eating bees.
Goldenrods and asters are blooming.
Robins switch their dietary preference from insects to fruit, already preparing for winter.
Check milkweed for monarch caterpillars – let’s hope it’s a better year for
them.
Mashed-up jewelweed relieves the
itching and inflammation from poison
ivy.

TD Beach to Beacon draws world-class field
Boston Marathon champ Meb Keflezighi
will join a deep group of American distance runners – including Olympic medalist Shalane Flanagan and Maine native Ben
True – for the TD Beach to Beacon 10K
Road Race on Aug. 2.
Both of the defending champions – Kenyans Micah Kogo and Joyce Chepkirui –
also are returning to headline a 30-runner
professional field dotted with Olympians,
world champs and record setters, organizers
announced July 11.
“We put together a solid American contingent last year, but I think this one is even
stronger, especially on the women’s side,
where a number of Americans are capable
of sub 33s,” said Larry Barthlow, the elite
athlete coordinator for the TD Beach to Beacon. “On the men’s side, favorite son Ben
True is making his return to Maine with his
sights set on winning the race, and he certainly is more than capable. But there also
are a handful of international runners who
will have something to say about that. We’re
set up for another great race day.”
Prize money for the winner of the men’s
and women’s races is $10,000. In all, nearly
$60,000 in prize money will be awarded
to the top finishers and place winners in
the various categories for men and women.
Northeast Delta Dental also is providing a
$2,500 bonus to any runner who breaks an
open course record.
The world-class athletes will join a race
day field of more than 6,200 runners who will
wind along the fast, relatively flat course that
begins near the Crescent Beach State Park
entrance on Route 77 in Cape Elizabeth and
ends 6.2 miles later in Fort Williams Park at
the Portland Head Light. Some Cape roads
will be closed in the morning. (See box at
right.
Maine talent
The elite distance runners from around
the world who come to Cape Elizabeth get
much of the attention, but one thing that has
become clear over the years is that Maine
produces a number of runners who can compete on the national stage, and many have
showcased their talents in the TD Beach to
Beacon 10K by earning a title as the state
road race champion.
On the men’s side, Louie Luchini of Ellsworth, the 2011 Maine champ (30:36), is returning this year and will share the “favorite”
label with Will Geoghegan of Brunswick, a
Dartmouth All-American who finished second last year (30:34). Jonny Wilson of Falmouth also is back, determined to improve
on his third place (30:49) finish in 2013,
which followed two consecutive runner-up

July 23 - August 19, 2014
Capers are asked to please share responsibility for Swap Shop stewardship
By Jamie Garvin,
Cape Elizabeth Recycling Committee
As the old saying goes, “One person’s
trash is another person’s treasure.” And
many of us can rattle off stories of treasures
we’ve come home with from the Swap Shop
at the Recycling Center.
A “good” trip to the Recycling Center often winds up with more stuff coming home
than what you took there to begin with. From
sporting equipment and children’s toys, to
housewares and books, the Swap Shop is a
trove of second-hand items (and sometimes
third, fourth, fifth…) that is a tremendous
community resource. It not only helps us
achieve our goal of reducing the overall
amount of household waste going into the
trash – which is good for the environment The Swap Shop at the Recycling Center
and lowers our disposal costs – but also lets
many Cape residents benefit from squeezing of the facility.
It starts with what should, or more impormore life out of gently used items.

Cont. from page 3___________________
a kickoff event on Nov. 1, with an open
house for Cape Elizabeth residents, and
plans are underway for a ticketed gala
event for November 1, 2015. Also, Pond
Cove School recently received a CEEF
grant for two artists in residence to lead a
“Local Stories Project,” including creation
of a physical theater performance of Cape’s
and dehumidifiers; and tires. Not only are
these not suitable for the Swap Shop, but
they require a fee for disposal so please see
the attendants for details.
Any clothing items should be deposited in
the Goodwill receptacle to the right of the
Bottle Shed. And while left off with good
intentions, items broken beyond easy and
reasonable repair, and games or toys with
missing pieces, only add to the mountains of
unsightly messes that grow throughout the
day.
A good rule of thumb when leaving an
item is to ask yourself whether you’d give it
to a friend or neighbor to use, or if you yourself would still use it if you had the need. Perhaps in some ways, we’ve become victims
of our own success in terms of spreading the
message of reducing the amount of waste
going into the compactor. But if ultimately
an item has no genuine use left in it, then
the trash is where it belongs – and frankly,
where it will wind up anyway, but only after
temporarily cluttering the Swap Shop and
making unnecessary work for the staff and
volunteers to transfer it to the hopper.
If you’re interested in volunteering your
time at the Swap Shop, please contact the
Recycling Committee. And while for many
of us, a trip to the Recycling Center is frantically squeezed in between any number of
other errands and chores, if you’re at the
Swap Shop and see something misplaced or
inappropriately left, feel free to take a moment to put it where it belongs. Every little
bit helps, and if we all embrace the attitude
of leaving it a little better than we found it,
the Swap Shop will continue to be a source
of found treasures for years to come.

CEHS assistant principal Nate Carpenter
describes his new job: ‘It’s perfect for me’
By Wendy Keeler
When Nate Carpenter’s friends found
out he had been hired as Cape Elizabeth
High School’s next assistant principal,
some friends laughed with surprise.
“I don’t see myself as an administrator.
I have given out one detention in 21 years,
and the student who received the detention
and I actually laughed about it because there
was no other solution,” said Carpenter, who
leaves Sacopee Valley High School in Hiram after 21 years to fill the spot previously
held by Troy Henninger.
The more Carpenter learned about the
CEHS post, however, the more “perfect”
the job sounded.
“At other high schools, the assistant
principal role is more detention-oriented
and consequence-based,” Carpenter said.
“But in Cape Elizabeth, it seems more the
shepherding and coaching model that I’m
very familiar with and almost exactly what
I did at Sacopee. I’m a person who loves to
solve problems and help kids go to a better
emotional place and feel like they have got
someone rooting for them and in their corner and willing to work for them in a positive way.”
CEHS Principal Jeff Shedd and other
school community members are excited
about Carpenter being the new assistant
principal.
“Nathan was the successful candidate after four separate interviews involving a total
of 24 people on the various interview teams,
including staff, School Board members, parents, students, and district administrators,”
Shedd said. “While I am very sad to have
lost Troy, I believe Nathan Carpenter will be
a great fit for this school and this position.”
A Colby College alumnus who grew up
in Porter, where he lives with his wife and
two children, Carpenter started substituteteaching in 1993 at Sacopee, his alma mater, and “fell in love with it. I found it to be
my calling.”
The Sacopee principal at the time thought
the same thing.
“He took me under his wing, and halfway through the year, he drove me to Augusta to the Department of Education to
convince me that it was something I should
really look into and what courses I would
need,” said Carpenter.

By 1994, Carpenter was teaching social studies, and five years later a “turning
point” occurred when he created and began
teaching “Senior Seminar.”
“The course includes a lot of public
speaking, a lot of community service elements, and the capstone at the end is a onehour presentation that shows ‘who I am,
what I have learned, and where I am going.’
The concept was that I wanted seniors to
leave school knowing what their strengths
were, what their weaknesses were and what
they needed to work on. I was trying to
have kids go through their midlife crisis at
17 or 18.”
Students responded.
“The course became a wildly popular
class, and every senior looked forward to
coming into the class and being part of that
yearlong journey.”
Since the class became mandatory for all
seniors, Carpenter has taught six sections of
it every year in addition to serving as the
12th-grade team leader.
“My responsibility was to sort of shepherd each senior class through the entire academic year. My role was beyond the classroom teacher model. I would orchestrate
meetings with parents of students, whether
they were in social crisis or academic dilemmas,” he said.
Coaching was also a big part of Carpenter’s years at Sacopee. Despite never
competing in track himself – Carpenter

HISTORY
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 23, 1864 – Quite a tornado
occurred in Turner, North Turner and Livermore, on Monday, week. The wind tore off
the roofs of barns and homes, leveled fences,
twisted off apple trees, and damaged corn
and potatoes. [Portland Transcript]
The atmosphere was very
smoky on Monday afternoon. We hear it
was occasioned by the burning of a peat bog
in Cape Elizabeth. The families living near
have been much incommoded by the heat
and smoke and on Monday were packing
up with the expectation of being obliged to
calling for 500,000 volunteers. If not forthcoming before the 5th of September a draft
will be ordered. Credit will be given for those
who have entered the naval service, and men
furnished in excess of previous calls. [Portland Transcript]
Vice President Hamlin is doing
duty as a private, at Fort McClary, Portsmouth harbor. [Portland Transcript] [Note:
The vice president, Hanabel Hamlin, from
Paris Hill, Me., had enlisted years earlier,
and his unit was called to active duty in the
summer of 1864.]
leave their homes. [Portland Transcript]
Gen. Grant is still pressing the
siege of Petersburg. The weather is very hot
and dry, and the troops suffer in the trenches.
[Portland Transcript]
Gen. Sherman has at last
reached the very door of Atlanta. Outflanked
again, the rebels burned the bridges across
the Chattahoochie and retreated upon the defences of Atlanta. [Portland Transcript]
Five-hundred-thousand and more
– The President has issued a proclamation
President Lincoln went out to
the scene of the fight with the rebel raiders,
near Washington, and the whistle of a bullet
was heard close beside his carriage. [Portland Transcript]
In any large collection of the
people now-a-days one cannot help remarking the effects of the war in the number of
maimed men present. Men who have lost
an arm, or a leg, are frequently met with. In
the crowd at the Menagerie a man startled
us by saying that as his hand was very much
in his way, he guessed he would unscrew it
July 23 - Aug. 19, 2014
and take it off! This he proceeded to do, and
then passed it over the heads of the crowd
to a friend for him to “shake hands with it.”
“There,” said he, pointing in another direction: “is a man who said he hoped I would
lose the other hand if I voted for Lincoln
again.” This man lost his hand in the service
of his country and has earned the right to vote
for whom he pleases. [Portland Transcript]
The rumor of a raid upon our
city from the Provinces, stirred up our citizens on Saturday to take measures for the
formation of a drill corps for home defence –
66 persons promptly put down their names.
[Portland Transcript]
The Bricklayers have agreed to
demand henceforth three dollars per day for
their services. [Portland Transcript]
July 30, 1864 – Home for sick
and wounded soldiers has been opened at No
14 Spring St. with ample room for 21 cots.
[Portland Transcript]
Aug. 6, 1864 – Fire, fire! Never
within our recollection has there been a time
when so much damage has been done by fire
in this State as during the present dry season.
Scores of dwelling houses have been burned
in various parts of the State during a week
past, while fires in the woods have raged
fiercely, destroying timer, fences, crops,
sweeping across meadows, consuming the
dry grass to the very roots, and threatening
the buildings of the solitary settler. [Portland
Transcript]
A fire in Cape Elizabeth has
swept over lands belonging to Hon. John M.
Wood, Seth B. Hilborn, Maj. M. Sweetser,
Beth Storer, and others destroying timber
and fences to the amount of several thousand
dollars. [Portland Transcript]

‘Carb-loading’ dinner at Methodist Church
planned the night before TD Beach to Beacon
The Cape Elizabeth United Methodist
Church will host a “carb-loading” spaghetti
dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 1, the
night before the Beach to Beacon 5K road
race.
“The church invites runners, families,
friends and the public to this dinner on the eve
of one of Cape Elizabeth’s biggest events of
the summer,” parishioner Ted Haider said.
The dinner will include spaghetti, glutenfree pasta, sauce, Italian bread, salad and
dressings, brownies and cookies, and lemonade and ice tea for $10 for adults and $5
for children 12 and younger. Take-out will
be available.
The church is located at 280 Ocean House
Road. Go to www.ceumc.org for more information about the church.
Nazarene church to welcome race spectators
The Cape Elizabeth Church of the Nazarene invites people to watch the Beach to
Beacon 10 K road race the morning of Saturday, Aug. 2.
In addition to providing parking and rest
rooms, the church, located at 499 Ocean
House Road, will offer free coffee and light
breakfast fare.
Nate Carpenter
played basketball at Colby – he took over
the spring track program, which won four
state championships during his more than
two decades coaching the team.
“I loved the challenge of building a program from scratch, and I love the concept of
track – that everyone can find their niche,
and that whatever their body type, everyone
can find an event they can have success in,”
he said. “We got 60 boys per spring, about a
third of the boys (at the high school). I was
always blessed with really wonderful kids
every year.”
This summer, Carpenter has been back
and forth to CEHS. House hunting in Cape
Elizabeth has also kept him busy.
He and his wife, Pam, “a smart, smart
lady” who has worked as a manager and
analyst at Unum for more than 20 years,
have two children.
Morgan, who is 16, will be a junior at
CEHS. Tanner, 13, an avid basketball player, is about to enter eighth grade at Cape
Elizabeth Middle School.
Pam is thrilled about the move, Carpenter said.
“The commute had become tremendously burdensome, and she has longed for the
coast,” Carpenter said the day the couple
celebrated 20 years of marriage. “Moving
will be the best 20th anniversary present.”

Lawsuit
Cont. from page 1___________________
ZBA’s denial of its appeal and its subsequent denial of a motion for reconsideration, contained errors of law, findings not
supported by substantial evidence, and constituted an abuse of discretion.
Verizon alleges that the town’s denial
violates its own zoning ordinance, which
permits the installation of wireless communications facilities on “alternative tower
structures,” which include water towers.
Verizon also alleges that the town’s denial
violates the 2012 federal Spectrum Act,
which, according to Verizon attorney, Scott
Anderson, allows for expedited permitting
for co-location of cell towers on existing
F R O M T H E F R O N T PA G E
structures and which states that a municipality “may not deny, and shall approve,
any eligible facilities request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base
station that does not substantially change
the physical dimensions of such tower or
base station.” It is Verizon’s position that
the water tower at 11 Avon Road qualifies
as a base station.
The town, for its part, found that local
ordinance requirements were not met, and,
specifically, that the dry water tower is not
an existing base station; that the proposal
would involve a substantial change to the
physical dimensions of the site; that the
proposed cell tower would not be completely “concealed” from view; and that the
antenna would become the “principal use”
of the water tower.

diverse collection of groups, including the
Naval Sea Cadets, Maine Landscape and

and more.”
Wish List
Another way to contribute to the continued success of the arboretum is by donating
plants. McCain, himself a horticulturist and
landscape designer, will accept only native
plant species, which he acknowledges can
be tricky. Among the plants he is looking
for are: wild columbine; common milkweed; various asters and ferns; woodland,
barren and common strawberry; woodland
cranesbill geranium; false Solomon’s seal;
and foamflower, along with many others.
For the complete wish list of plants,
contact McCain at [email protected]. For more information about
the arboretum, or to donate, purchase an
engraved paver, or volunteer, please visit
