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 —see LAWSUIT, page 18 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’ Photo by Sarah Beard Buckley The wildflower garden, part of the Cliffside project at the arboretum, consists of a mixture of native and exotic meadow species sowed in 2012 by arboretum volunteers.

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. Ciara Bethel (Syracuse University) Sam Earnshaw (Brigham Young University) Anna Goldstein (Stetson University) “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.” Tim Hartel (Hamilton College) Monty Kwan (Vassar College) Kayne Munson (Villanova University) Jordan Petersen (Wheaton College) “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.” Page 2 • The Cape Courier The Cape Courier P.O.

LETTERS / ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS July 23 - Aug. 19, 2014 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?

We just want to say, “Thank you, thank you, Sami.” Linda Surabian, Carolyn Vetro and Joan Schmitz, Swap Shop volunteers Editor’s note: For more about the Swap Shop, see story on page 6. Recycle this newspaper 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.

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.

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.

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 State of Maine with great distinction, and his John Olsson, Owner on every project.

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.

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 finishes.

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. tantly shouldn’t, be left at the Swap Shop in But like any community resource, it needs the fi rst place.

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.

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. The Cape Courier • Page 11 Photo by Julie Rieger Nate 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.

Page 16 • The Cape Courier 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.

ANNE BOSWORTH 207.233.3175 | [email protected] July 23 - Aug. 19, 2014 ‘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.” Sesquicentennial duce a supply of water!

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.

We promised the town we’re not going to add more work for them … It’s been a wonderful relationship among the Fort Williams Advisory Commission; the foundation; the Town Manager Mike McGovern; and Public Works employees and Director Bob Malley. We’re coordinating efforts more 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].
