WASHINGTON
Senate Democrats won a crucial test
vote on President Barack Obama’s
health care overhaul, putting them on
track for passage before Christmas of
the historic legislation to remake the
nation’s medical system and cover 30
million uninsured.
All 58 Democrats and the Senate’s
two independents held together early
today against unanimous Republican
opposition, providing the exact 60-40
margin needed to shut down a threatened GOP filibuster.
The vote came shortly after 1 a.m.
with the nation’s capital blanketed in
snow, the unusual timing made necessary in order to get to a final vote by
Christmas Eve presuming Republicans stretch out the debate as much as
the rules allow. Despite the late hour

and a harshly partisan atmosphere,
Democrats’ spirits were high.
“Today we are closer than we’ve
ever been to making Sen. Ted
Kennedy’s dream of universal health
insurance coverage a reality,” Sen.
Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said ahead of
the vote, alluding to the late Massachusetts senator who died of brain
cancer in August.
“Vote your hopes, not your fears.
Seize the moment,” Harkin urged colleagues.
Kennedy’s widow, Vicki, watched
the vote from the visitor’s gallery
along with administration officials
who have worked intensely on the
issue. Senators cast their votes from
their desks, a practice reserved for
issues of particular importance.
The outcome was preordained after

SEN. OLYMPIA SNOWE, RMaine, arrives for a cloture
vote on Capitol Hill early this
morning. President Obama’s
goal of a bipartisan health bill
was not met, despite the
president’s extensive
courtship of Snowe, the only
Republican to support the bill
in committee. Obama called
Snowe to the White House for
lengthy in-person meetings
both before he left for climate
talks in Copenhagen and
after his return on Saturday.
In the end Snowe said she
was “extremely disappointed”
in what she called a rushed
process that left scant time
for her to review, much less
amend, the bill.

isa Read has a little
extra motivation to
find ways for Bath
Iron Works to be involved
with the state’s growing offshore wind power movement.
Read, 33, a key member of
the shipyard’s strategic
planning team, is expecting
her first child in February.
“My perspective is starting to change as a future
mother,” she said. “We’re
needing to do something to
protect the Earth for my
child and for future generations.”
In 2009, the winds of
change blew through Maine.
Looking at a state with a
long-standing dependence
on foreign oil, Gov. John
Baldacci pushed hard to
establish Maine as a renewable energy leader, focusing
much of his administration’s efforts on offshore
wind power.
Last week, state officials
announced three sites off
the coast of Maine where
extensive research will be
conducted on deepwater
■ Throughout 2009,
state officials pushed to
establish Maine as an
alternative energy leader,
focusing in particular on
offshore wind power.
Inland wind farm construction accelerated during the year, and last
week, three sites off the
coast of Maine were
selected for deepwater
wind turbines.
In 2009, Bath Iron
Works became a greater
part of the wind power
conversation in Maine, as
shipyard planners eyed
the manufacturing of offshore wind turbines and
platforms as potential
work for local shipbuilders. Lisa Read is one
of those planners.

Local budgets would feel brunt of Baldacci’s cuts
Governor calls for more
consolidation of municipal
and county services
BY LORIE COSTIGAN
Times Record Bureau
AUGUSTA
Calling for further consolidation of
both municipal and county services,
Gov. John Baldacci on Friday proposed a supplemental budget to close
a $438 million gap in the state’s general fund. The shortfall has been fueled
by declining income tax revenue,
which forced state revenue forecasts
to be decreased by $1.1 billion since
December 2008.
Proposed cuts extend across all
state agencies and will be reviewed —
and likely countered — by the Legislature when it convenes in January.
“My plan would work to lessen the
impact on education, public safety
and health, and our most vulnerable
citizens,” Baldacci read Friday from a
prepared statement. “Given that education and health and human services
account for about 80 percent of the
general fund budget, there’s no way
those areas could avoid serious reductions. But I sought to reduce the
impacts and give communities greater
flexibility to reduce their costs and to
focus their resources on the classroom where they do the most good.
“I wish I could say we have eliminated all the hardships in this budget,
but we’ve not,” he said.
Baldacci’s proposal calls for removing $67.8 million from the Department
of Health and Human Services.
DHHS Commissioner Brenda Harvey said Friday that she expects to
make the cuts by “reducing the
amount of services, not the number of
services.” For instance, a person
receiving 10 hours of state-funded
psychiatric care would now receive
eight hours of care, she said.
The state again proposes delaying
Medicaid payments to service
providers, excluding pharmacists,
dentists and physicians and would
reduce the MaineCare reimbursement
rate to critical care hospitals.
Baldacci’s proposal also cuts into
the Department of Education, where
$73.2 million would be trimmed from
general purpose aid to local school
systems. In addition, $15.9 million
would be removed from higher education.
In all, 15 percent of the proposed
$438 million comes from cuts to the

Department of Health and Human
Services. The Department of Education absorbs 22 percent of recommended cuts.
During the Friday press conference,
Maine Education Commissioner
Susan Gendron indicated cuts could
come in the form of early retirement
incentives and streamlining services
to better meet — not exceed — federal
YELLOW BLACK
mandates. She also floated the idea of
decreased pay for teachers, an option
ultimately set at the local level.
“We must reduce spending, but government still has a responsibility to
its people,” Baldacci said. “While we
are making significant cuts, we are
also working to mitigate them by giving local governments and schools the
tools to lower costs.”
Some of those tools would encourage consolidation of services for
municipal and county governments.
Martha Freeman, director of the
State Planning Office, said municipal
and county gover nments have an
opportunity to encourage consolidation of services, purchasing, and
office support.
A proposal to cut $27 million in
municipal revenue sharing caught the
attention of the Maine Municipal
Association, which says the Legislature already removed $44 million from
the revenue sharing fund during the
past year.
Geoff Her man, of the Maine
Municipal Association, said Maine
municipalities have tried to encourage consolidation since 2004 and have
been thwarted by legislative cuts to

Spreading smiles all around
Parents arrived at several
locations to pick up Christmas presents. There were
smiles all around as parents
left the buildings.
People seemed so appreciative and their faces said it all.
Some had tears in their eyes;
some gave us big hugs; and
some brought us cookies as a
way to express their gratitude.
We Santa Claus Fund volunteers got emotional too. We
work very hard to get to this
point, and when we hear the
parents say, “Thank you so
much,” it makes it all worthwhile. Sometimes you get a
lump in your throat and you
have to fight it back.
We enjoy the entire experience. Each volunteer takes
home a special memory of
the 20 days in the North Pole
Annex.
They might remember the
first day when mountains of
toys arrived at our door. They
might remember packing a
one-of-a-kind doll, or a one-ofa-kind MP3 player that some
lucky child will find under
the tree.
They may remember laughing at themselves when the
tape gun jammed and they
had tape stuck to themselves
instead of the box. They
laughed when they made the
coffee and forgot to put a filter in the machine.
They laughed when Tina
brought a pie, but we had no
forks. They laughed when the
light over the packing table
went out during one of our
busiest days.
You learn to work around
little problems. There was
always laughter somewhere
in the building on any given
day.
Twenty-three people —
some new to each other, some
friends for many years —
found a way to make it all
work. I appreciated their
patience and understanding
every day. Thank you, team.
Special thanks
There are a few people who
merit a big thank-you from
the Santa Claus Fund. The
first are the members of the
Brunswick Golf Club who
have shared their facility during our 20-day campaign. We
offer a special thank-you to
Patrick Badcock, general
manager of the club, who
each year gives up his quiet
time, but always has a smile
on his face. He is great guy
and we always look forward
to seeing him each year.
We also thank Jim “Jimbo”
Gallant, restaurant and special occasion manager. The
Santa Claus Fund volunteers
really takes advantage of his
good nature. We literally
share his office for those 20
days. He never complains
during the entire event.
Thanks Jim, we owe you!
There is a business we have
to single out for its participation each year. We have to
move freight from Brunswick
to five different locations during a two-day exodus. We
couldn’t do it without help
from Topsham Rental Center
in the Topsham Fair Mall.
Topsham Rental and the
Penske Truck Rental Co. lend
the Santa Claus Fund a truck
for two days. We could not do
this project without their
help. Thank you again, Topsham Rental Center and
Penske Truck Rental, for your
generosity.
I know everyone is waiting
for me to announce the final
number of children we
helped this year. That number is 627. The Santa Claus
Fund provided gift packages
for 342 boys and 285 girls.
That is 125 more children
than last year.
That’s a lot of toys! That’s a
lot of extra work! It was a
very big project this year. The
team is to be congratulated.
We thank the Brunswick
Elks Lodge, Angie and her
staff, for their daily assistance. They greeted and wel-

to share with you today
before I get to the donations. I

Brunswick.
Many of you know Mark
Nickerson for his long-time
service to the community. I
usually work during the campaign but we talked about this
year’s campaign, and how I
am not getting any younger.
He graciously allowed me to
take time off and paid my
wages too!
Thank you, Mark, for helping me help kids.

Bowdoin man in
‘critical condition’
after crashing
snowmobile
BY DARCIE MOORE
Times Record Staff
BOWDOIN
A 19-year-old Bowdoin man
suffered serious neck injuries
in a snowmobile incident Saturday evening in Bowdoin,
according to the Maine Warden Service.
According to Maine Warden Service Game Warden
Bob Decker, Michael Racine,
19, of Bowdoin, was driving a
Ski-Doo 800cc Renegade
around in circles in a field off
Litchfield Road at approximately 6 p.m., when he hit a
small knoll and went airborne.
A friend who was riding a
snowmobile nearby saw the
sled come to a stop, noticed
his friend in the snow a short
distance away and used a cell
phone to call for help.
Racine was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Maine
Medical Center in Portland,
where he is being treated for
serious neck injuries. According to a hospital spokesman,
Racine was in critical condition this morning.
Racine was not wearing a
helmet at the time of the
crash, according to the Maine
Warden Service. The incident
remains under investigation.
Deborah Turcotte, spokeswoman for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and
Wildlife, said this morning
that this is the first serious
snowmobile accident of the
season.
Turcotte said that this time
if year, a lot of people get anxious to go out on snowmobiles, which the department
can appreciate. But wardens
war n that people must be
careful when there is not a lot
of snow.
Rocks and knolls aren’t covered and snowmobilers might
think they are on a smooth
path, Turcotte said. But in relatively shallow snow, they
could hit a rock or tree sticking up, which is when accidents happen.
“So we’re telling people to
use extreme caution,” as if
there were a lot of snow, to
ride at a reasonable speed,
ride for the conditions and of
course, wear a helmet.
Driver, 17, clocked at 99 mph
GARDINER — State Police
troopers on Dec. 12 clocked a
17-year-old Brunswick driver
traveling at 99 miles per hour
on Interstate 295, according to
the Communicator, a weekly
update from the Maine
Department of Public Safety.
The driver “had a new
license, which she will lose
because of the violation,”
according to Department of
Public Safety spokesman
Steve McCausland, who distributes the Communicator.
During the same speed
enforcement detail on the
interstate, troopers chased a
17-year-old South Portland boy
who was clocked at 100 mph in
a car stolen from Scarborough,
the Communicator reported.
The teen ended up ramming
a state police cruiser before
being arrested. He now faces
a number of charges.

Students from Brunswick
High School’s Youth Advocacy Program, Communities
Against Substance Abuse,
and the Brunswick Police
Department
will
visit
Brunswick stores today in an
effort to combat underage
drinking.
As part of “Project Sticker
Shock,” students will place
orange stickers on packages
of beer and wine coolers to
warn buyers of the penalties
for providing alcohol to
minors.
“Sixty-three percent of our
local high school students tell
us that alcohol is easy to get
in our community (2008
MYDAUS),” the release states.
“The timing of the Sticker
Shock project is not coinci-
dental, given the upcoming
holiday season. College-age
siblings may be home for
break and alcohol consumption tends to rise given the
season, making this week an
ideal time to get the word out
to our community.”
Among the penalties for
illegally providing alcohol to
minors are fines of up to
$2,000, jail sentences of up to
12 months and being sued for
property damage, bodily
injury or death caused by the
liquor consumption.
The grant-funded Youth
Advocacy Program offered by
ACCESS Health is one of the
28 Healthy Maine Partnerships, a statewide network of
community-based initiatives.
ACCESS Health and CASA

Palmer will be responsible

advocacy for many years,”
Parkview Vice President
Sheryl McWilliams said in a
statement. “We are pleased to
have her join the Parkview
team.”
A Bangor native and graduate of the University of
Maine, Palmer began her
career as a reporter for the
Portland Press Herald. For
several years, she edited the
University of Maine’s quarterly alumni magazine.
Palmer secured federal and

LETTER OF THANKS
From the ‘Coffee
House’ to Camp Kieve
To the editor:
We would like to thank the
Georgetown and Bath communities for supporting our fund
raising. The sixth grade class
at the Georgetown Central
School has finished raising
the money we need to attend
the week-long Leadership
School at Camp Kieve in May!
We collected bottles from the
Georgetown Store and the Five
Islands Wharf. In September,
we began a monthly school
store selling new and used
books and other items.
To prepare for our major
fund raising Coffee House
event, the students wrote original cinquain poems. They practiced reciting these poems
using musical accompaniment.The students made centerpieces and wreaths to decorate the Community Center
and handmade crafts to sell at
the Coffee House. Students and
parents collected or made items
for a silent auction; students
photographed the items, posting them on their sixth grade
blog and school Web site and
made posters for the event.
We made more than $1,300
at the Coffee House for a total
of more than $2,900!
We would like to thank all
who supported the fundraising
efforts, and recognize the following people and businesses:
parents of the sixth grade students, Georgetown Store, Five
Islands Lobster Co., Ornament,
Betsy’s Salon, Now You’re
Cooking, Jo Jo Loves You, Papa
Geppetto’s Workshop, McDonald’s, Georgetown Pottery, Magnolia, Mae’s Cafe, Byrnes’ Irish

and their generous donation.

Recounting ‘The Lost Suitcase’ — a Christmas story
Nothing warms the heart
like a good Christmas story
— one in which hopes are
fulfilled, despair is dispatched, and it all ends happily.
I have one to tell you. Even
though it took place over the
Thanksgiving holiday it has
all the earmarks of becoming a good Christmas story.
When I went to my daughter Maud’s house in Byfield,
Mass., for Thanksgiving, I
decided to go by public
transport. Two days before
the holiday, I boarded a bus
from
Brunswick
to
Por tsmouth, N.H. (Maud
said it would be a convenient
pick-up place.)
I had packed a small black
bag which I intended to be a
car ry-on. Instead the bus
driver, noting that the bus
was at capacity, insisted on
It’s our
time

Issues and activities for older adults
putting it in the luggage bin.
When we reached Portland
an additional bus was waiting to take all the Bostonbound passengers to their
South Station destination.
Unfor tunately, and unbeknownst to me, my bag went
with them.
So it was a sorry meeting
at Portsmouth when Maud
and I discovered that my little black bag was nowhere to
be found. The driver apologized noting that it had probably been put on the special
bus, and he gave us many
phone numbers to help us
track it down.
I was distraught. I didn’t
care about the clothes and
the toiletries — they are
re placeable. But I had
packed some of my favorite
jewelry — all gifts from Bill
— and now I would probably
never see them again.
Since Maud is a for mer
dor mitory mistress at her
school, she had toiletries
galore to lend me, along with
a nightie, underwear, socks
and several sweaters. I was
still distraught when our
numerous phone calls
brought no good news.
My 15-year old g randdaughter, Nora, put her
ar ms around me and said:
“Grandma, I have a feeling
that your bag will be waiting
for you when you get home.”
I hugged her back and muttered that I’d probably never
see the little black bag
again, that it was probably
traveling all over the U.S.
until it reached the Greyhound lost-and-found warehouse in Texas.
And besides, I moaned, I
don’t think I put any ID in
the bag. How will anyone
know to whom it belongs!
Happily Nora was right.
Back home in Brunswick
there was a phone message
from the Massachusetts Bay
Transit Police. They had
found the bag abandoned on
the platform where the bus
had discharged its passengers; they had confiscated it
to search for possible explosives, whereupon they found
a card, in Bill’s handwriting,
noting his name, address
and telephone number.
The bag was waiting when
Maud and her husband went
to claim it. Everything was
intact.
My darling Nora’s hopes
had been realized, and my
despondency was shor tlived. Best of all, we had a
happy ending.
A week or so later I was
telling the story to my weekly Italian conversation
group. I called it “La Valigia
Perduta” (The Lost Suitcase). “Sounds like a perfect
title for an opera,” one of
the group said. “Maybe,” I
responded. “But it’s a terrific Christmas tale.”
“So write about it in your
column,” the g roup said.
And now I have.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Maine to consider cell phone cancer warning
BY GLENN ADAMS

PAT WELLENBACH / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUD MOODY of Harpswell uses his cell phone while in a culinary shop that has holiday decorations displayed on the windows in Bath.
advisory of risk in black type,
except for the word “warning,”
which would be large and in
red letters. It would also
include a color graphic of a
child’s brain next to the warning.
While there’s little agreement about the health hazards,
Boland said Maine’s roughly
950,000 cell phone users among
its 1.3 million residents “do not
know what the risks are.”
All told, more than 270 million people subscribed to cellular telephone service last year
in the United States, an
increase from 110 million in
2000, according to CTIA-The
Wireless Association. The
industry group contends the
devices are safe.
“With respect to the matter
of health effects associated
with wireless base stations and
the use of wireless devices,
CTIA and the wireless industry have always been guided by
science, and the views of
impartial health organizations.
The peer-reviewed scientific
evidence has overwhelmingly
indicated that wireless devices
do not pose a public health
risk,” said CTIA’s John Walls.
James Keller of Lewiston,
whose cell phone serves as his
only phone, seemed skeptical
about warning labels. He said
many things may cause cancer
but lack scientific evidence to
support that belief. Besides, he
said, people can’t live without
cell phones.
“It seems a little silly to me,
but it’s not going to hurt anyone to have a warning on there.
If they’re really concerned
about it, go ahead and put a
warning on it,” he said outside
a sporting good store in Topsham. “It wouldn’t deter me
from buying a phone.”
While there’s been no longterm studies on cell phones
and cancer, some scientists
suggest erring on the side of
caution.
Last year, Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director emeritus of
the University of Pittsburgh
Cancer Institute, sent a memo
to about 3,000 faculty and staff
members warning of risks
based on early, unpublished
data. He said that children

Millions snowed in
by East Coast storm
NEW YORK (AP) — Millions
of people along the East Coast
were bracing for potentially
dicey commutes as they
returned to work today after a
weekend winter storm dropped
record snowfall, interrupted
holiday shopping and stranded
travelers.
The storm crept up the coast
on Saturday and Sunday, walloping states from the midAtlantic to New England,
causing hundreds of delayed
or canceled flights, widespread power outages and
treacherous driving conditions. The weather was
blamed for several deaths in
North Carolina and Virginia.
But despite its powerful
punch, many took solace in
the timing of the storm and
the knowledge that it could
have been worse had it come
during the work week. The
weekend arrival helped minimize headache-inducing commutes and reduced frenzied
efforts to dig out the car
before heading for work.
Thousands protest at
funeral for Iranian cleric
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Tens of thousands of Iranian mourners —
many chanting protest slogans
— joined the funeral procession today for the country’s
most senior dissident cleric,
who had described government crackdowns as the work
of power-hungry despots.
Iranian authorities have
barred foreign media from covering the processions in the
holy city of Qom for Grand
Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, who died Sunday at age 87.

A Maine legislator wants to
make the state the first to
require cell phones to carry
warnings that they can cause
brain cancer, although there is
no consensus among scientists
that they do and industry leaders dispute the claim.
The now-ubiquitous devices
carry such warnings in some
countries, though no U.S. states
require them, according to the
National Conference of State
Legislators. A similar effort is
afoot in San Francisco, where
Mayor Gavin Newsom wants
his city to be the nation’s first
to require the warnings.
Maine Rep. Andrea Boland,
D-Sanford, said numerous
studies point to the cancer
risk, and she has persuaded
legislative leaders to allow her
proposal to come up for discussion during the 2010 session
that begins in January, a session usually reserved for emergency and governors’ bills.
Boland herself uses a cell
phone, but with a speaker to
keep the phone away from her
head. She also leaves the phone
off unless she’s expecting a
call. At issue is radiation emitted by all cell phones.
Under Boland’s bill, manufacturers would have to put
labels on phones and packaging warning of the potential
for brain cancer associated
with electromagnetic radiation. The warnings would recommend that users, especially
children and pregnant women,
keep the devices away from
their head and body.
The Federal Communications Commission, which
maintains that all cell phones
sold in the U.S. are safe, has set
a standard for the “specific
absorption rate” of radiofrequency energy, but it doesn’t
require handset makers to
divulge radiation levels.
The San Francisco proposal
would require the display of
the absorption rate level next
to each phone in print at least
as big as the price. Boland’s bill
is not specific about absorption
rate levels, but would require a
permanent, nonremovable
should use the phones only for
emergencies because their
brains were still developing
and that adults should keep the
phone away from the head and
use a speakerphone or a wireless headset.
Herberman, who says scientific conclusions often take too
long, is one of numerous doctors
and researchers who have
endorsed an August report by
retired electronics engineer L.
Lloyd Morgan. The report highlights a study that found significantly increased risk of brain
tumors from 10 or more years of
cell phone or cordless phone use.
Also, the BioInitiative Working Group, an international
group of scientists, notes that
many countries have issued
warnings and that the European Parliament has passed a
resolution calling for governmental action to address concerns over health risks from
mobile phone use.
But the National Cancer
Institute said studies thus far
have turned up mixed and
inconsistent results, noting
that cell phones did not come
into widespread use in the
United States until the 1990s.
“Although research has not
consistently demonstrated a
link between cellular telephone use and cancer, scientists still caution that further
surveillance is needed before
conclusions can be drawn,”
according to the Cancer Institute’s Web site.
Motorola Inc., one of the
nation’s major wireless phone
makers, says on its Web site
that all of its products comply
with international safety
guidelines for radiofrequency
energy exposure.
A Motorola official referred
questions to CTIA.

But witnesses said many
mourners shouted protest
cries including “Death to the
Dictator” in displays of anger
against Iran’s ruling establishment.
There were no immediate
reports of serious clashes from
the witnesses, who spoke on
condition of anonymity
because of fears of arrest by
Iranian authorities. Some
opposition Web sites noted
scuffles and violence, but the
reports could not immediately
be confirmed.
Today, access to the Internet
in Iran was slow, and cellular
telephone service was unreliable. The government has periodically restricted communications in an attempt to prevent
protesters from organizing.
Security was extremely tight

Tehran, as people streamed in

‘Best in the world’
Bigger trucks allowed
Improving Internet access
Rural Maine communities received an
early Christmas present last Thursday,
in the form of a $25.4 million federal
grant to the “Three Ring Binder,” a project spearheaded by the Biddeford-based
telephone and Internet provider GWI.
The grant money will be used to build a
1,100-mile network of high-capacity
fiberoptic cable through the northern,
western and Downeast regions of Maine.
The expanded network is expected to
pass through more than 100 Maine communities with more than 110,000 homes.
Access to the high-capacity fiberoptic
network will be offered to all Internet
and telecommunications providers interested in serving rural Maine.
Kudos to all who made this possible.
Improved Internet access will expand
economic development opportunities for
regions of Maine that sorely need them.
In today’s world, the information superhighway is every bit as essential as the
highways paved in asphalt.
Perhaps, more so.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
MONDAY METER
On Thursday, Gov. John Baldacci signed
an “emergency” proclamation allowing
an immediate change in truck weight limits on Maine’s interstate highway system.
The resolution opens up almost 300 miles
of Maine interstate highways that previously had a truck weight limit of 80,000
pounds to trucks weighing 100,000 pounds.
The state of emergency will allow the
higher truck limits until legislation can be
adopted by Maine lawmakers when they
convene again in January. The weight
limit increase is being initiated under a
one-year pilot program approved at the
federal level and recently signed by President Obama as part of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2010.
Proponents include Maine’s congressional delegation and lawmakers in the
first session of the 124th Legislature who
unanimously passed a resolution asking
Congress to authorize 100,000-pound
trucks on the entire interstate highway
system in Maine. Before the change,
100,000-pound trucks entering Maine
could travel only on non-interstate roads.
Baldacci’s
proclamation
cites
“improved safety,” better fuel mileage and
reduced “wear-and-tear” on Maine’s secondary roads and bridges (with an envisioned savings of as much as $2 million
per year in repair costs).
But the Truck Safety Coalition, Parents
Against Tired Truckers and other safety
groups have expressed in a release “their
grave concerns about this exemption that
was quietly inserted in the (federal) bill
without an opportunity for a single public
hearing on the public safety and infrastructure dangers of overweight trucks in
these states (Maine and Vermont).”
The one-year pilot program should give
proponents and opponents alike the
opportunity to evaluate the truck weight
limit change and provide objective measurements showing whether the change is
a benefit to Maine’s taxpayers and
motorists, or not.

Emergency changes ‘quite troubling’
BY BUCKLEY J. HUGO
I am a Brunswick resident and
the parent of an autistic teenager.
I also work as a private special
education advocate for families of
children with special needs.
Parents of children with disabilities face a multitude of challenges. Our hectic day-to-day lives
often consist of managing behavioral meltdowns, transporting
our kids from therapist to therapist, and coordinating services
between schools and Mainecare
service providers. The Maine
Unified Special Education Regulations is one constant factor we
rely upon to ensure our children
receive a free appropriate public
education, as mandated by the
federal Individuals with Disabilities and Education Act.
Only two years ago, the Department of Education and stakeholders addressed a majority of the
same issues raised now. At that
time, compromises were made
and matters were considered settled. Those facts notwithstanding,
by all appearances the department is using the current budget
calamity as a springboard to raise
these same issues again. This
time, however, Maine Education
Commissioner Susan Gendron is
bypassing the usual legislative
hearing process in an attempt to
implement substantive changes
to the regulations on an emergency basis.
This is quite troubling. If the
Department of Education is successful, the rights of children
with disabilities will be radically
undermined without input from
stakeholders or review by the
Joint Standing Committee on
Education and Cultural Affairs.
Examined below are a few
selected changes recommended
by the commissioner:
Changes to the eligibility
standard
Gendron has touted that modifications to the state’s regulations
are necessary to ensure uniformity among Maine’s numerous
school districts. Despite this, the
new proposed definition of “educational performance” defers to a
local school district’s own curriculum, rather than correlating
to the standards of Maine’s
Learning Results.
This also conflicts with the new
proposed “Procedures for Determination,” which references
LOCAL COMMENTARY
Maine’s Learning Results and
existing Individualized Education Program goals, which
require “…individual goals to
successfully meet the content
standards of the system of
Maine’s Learning Results...”
Changing post-secondary
transition from age
14 to age 16:
Proper transition planning is
paramount to a disabled child’s
success. In Maine, students can
drop out at age 17. By mandating
that students wait an additional
two years to begin transition services, they are less likely to graduate and instead require costly
services as adults at additional
taxpayer expense. The current
transition requirement at age 14
allows adequate time to explore a
child’s post-secondary options
and plan accordingly.
The “stay put” provision
The Department of Education
is recommending that stay put
should only apply to due-process
hearings and not complaint investigations or mediations.
This is very shortsighted
thinking. Oftentimes, disputes
can be resolved inexpensively
using the mediation process. If
parents are forced to go to hearing to invoke “stay put,” both
sides will likely incur legal fees
resulting in increased costs.
An added risk of hearings is
that school districts can be held
liable for attorney’s fees if parents are the prevailing party.
This is not so in mediation.
Statute of limitations
Reducing the statute of limitations in half from four years to
two is an egregious example of
the department’s overreaching
attempt to impinge upon the
rights of children with disabilities.
Such a reduction will only
serve as a disincentive for administrators to provide a free appropriate public education, and in
the process unfairly tip the balance of power in favor of the
school districts, which have
access to far more financial and
legal resources than the average
parent.
A due process hearing by any
other name is a lawsuit, and most
of Maine’s parents cannot bear
that sort of financial or emotional burden unless they have a remedy available to them that warrants such an undertaking.
Two years is simply insufficient for this purpose and contradicts other Maine statutes that
provide a six-year limitation
(thus explaining the four-year
compromise reached in the last
Maine Unified Special Education Regulations legislative
review).
The four issues addressed
above represent only a fraction of
the many proposed changes the
commissioner desires to enact on
an emergency basis.
In my area of the state, Commissioner Susan Gendron recently scrutinized the request to close
one of Harpswell’s elementary
schools, requiring the town to
demonstrate meaningful cost savings, even though the closure
would affect just a couple hundred children. The proposed
Maine Unified Special Education Regulations changes would
affect nearly 35,000 disabled children throughout the state, yet no
such fiscal scrutiny has been
applied here. Maine’s most vulnerable population deserves better.
We Mainers acknowledge that
tough decisions will be necessary
to achieve the budgetary reductions required by the governor
and that education accounts for a
large portion of state spending.
While it is within reason for the
Department of Education to
examine special education expenditures, there needs to be a thorough fiscal analysis that can only
be achieved through proper legislative review.
On behalf of all Maine residents who care for children with
disabilities, we respectfully
request that all of the Department of Education’s recommended changes to the Maine Unified
Special Education Regulations
proceed through the normal legislative process and not be implemented on an emergency basis.
BUCKLEY J. HUGO lives in Brunswick.
He planned to deliver the statement above,
published with his permission, at today’s
public hearing in Augusta over proposed
“emergency changes” in the state’s special
education rules.

Another outage
To the editor:
On Wednesday, Dec. 9, the
residents of Route 123 in Harpswell experienced yet another
preventable power outage.
This came as no surprise, as it
occurs yearly along the same
stretch of road.
Anyone traveling Route 123
can easily see the potential for
fallen trees during a wind,
rain or snow event. Common
sense will tell you that trimming branches is not going to
solve the problem. The trees
that fall during these storms
are not aesthetically beautiful
specimens, but junk trees that
serve no purpose being close to
electrical wires. If unhealthy
trees are removed, this would
eliminate the problem.
At what point do we decide
we’ve had enough?

Good for the goose ...?
To the editor:
“What’s good for the goose is
good for the gander ...”
— Aesop
We have some questions for
Sens. Olympia Snowe and
Susan Collins and Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud:
If you all can tell us what
kind of health insurance we
must have and what we must
pay for it, or be taxed, fined or
sent to prison if we do not
comply with your wishes, we
do not believe it is rude to ask
you all what is the exact name
of the health insurance program you each have?
We therefore request a copy
of all your insurance forms.
We would like to know if
your insurance plans are private or from the government?
We would like to know what
you each pay for your insurance plans?
When each of you are
through being in the U.S. Congress, will your insurance stay
the same? Will the U.S. government pay for it for the rest of
your lives?
Do all the people who work
for you have the same insurance plan you do?
Do each of you believe in
tort reform?
Doe each of you believe private health insurance companies could work over state
lines, like car insurance does?
It looks to us like the government’s plan has 20 pages of
rules and 2,000 pages of
exemptions to pay off certain
blocks of votes and/or to keep
us from any sort of tort
reform.

Actress Brittany Murphy
dies in LA at age 32
BY ANTHONY MCCARTNEY
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES
The unexpected death of
32-year-old Brittany Murphy,
who gained fame in such
movies as “8 Mile” and “Just
Married,” appeared to be
from natural causes but
police are investigating, officials said.
Murphy died about 10 a.m.
Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles,
according to the hospital.
She was transported to the
medical center after the Fire
Department responded to a call
at 8 a.m. at the home she shared
with her husband, British
screenwriter Simon Monjack,
in the Hollywood Hills.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed
Winter said Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom,
and authorities were looking
into her medical history.
An official cause of death
may not be determined for
some time, since toxicology
tests will be required, but
“it appears to be natural,”
Winter said. He said an
autopsy was planned for
Monday or Tuesday.
Los Angeles police have
opened an investigation into
Murphy’s death, Officer
Norma Eisenman said. Detectives and coroner’s officials
were at Murphy and Monjack’s home Sunday afternoon but did not talk to
reporters. Paparazzi were
camped outside the multistory home, located above the
Sunset Strip.
Neighbor Clare Staples said
she saw firefighters working
to resuscitate the actress Sunday morning. She said Murphy was on a stretcher.
Murphy’s husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no
shoes, appeared “dazed” as
firefighters tried to save her,
Staples said. “It’s just tragic,”
she added.
Murphy’s publicist, Nicole
Perna, said in a statement: “In
this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love
and support. It is their wish
that you respect their privacy.”
Messages left for Murphy’s
manager and agent by The
Associated Press were not
immediately returned.
Murphy’s father, Angelo
Bertolotti, said he learned of
her death from his son, the
actress’s brother, and was
stunned.
“She was just an absolute
doll since she was born,”
Bertolotti said from his Branford, Fla., home. “Her personality was always outward. Everybody loved her — people that
made movies with her, people
on a cruise — they all loved her.
She was just a regular gal.”
He said he hadn’t heard
much about the circumstances of Murphy’s death.
Bertolotti divorced her mother when Murphy was young
and hadn’t seen Murphy in
the past few years.
“She was just talented,”

the European premiere of animated feature film “Happy
Feet” in central London in this
Nov. 26, 2006, file photo.
Murphy, 32, died Sunday.
Bertolotti said. “And I loved
her very much.”
Bor n Nov. 10, 1977, in
Atlanta, Murphy grew up in
New Jersey and later moved
with her mother to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
Her career started in the
early 1990s with small roles in
television series, commercials
and movies. She is best known
for parts in “Girl, Interrupted,” “Clueless,” “Sin City”
and “8 Mile.”
Her on-screen work had
lessened of late, but Murphy’s voice gave life to
numerous animated characters, including Luanne Platter on more than 200 episodes
of Fox’s “King of the Hill”
and Gloria the penguin in the
2006 feature “Happy Feet.”
She is due to appear in
Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming film, “The Expendables,”
set for release next year.
Her role in “8 Mile” led to
more recognition, Murphy
told AP in 2003. “That changed
a lot,” she said. “That was the
difference between people
knowing my first and last
name as opposed to not.”
Murphy credited her mother, Sharon, with being a key
to her success.
“When I asked my mom to
move to California, she sold
everything and moved out
here for me,” Murphy said. “I
was really grateful to have
grown up in an environment
that was conducive to creating
and didn’t stifle any of that.
She always believed in me.”
She dated Ashton Kutcher,
who costarred with Murphy
in 2003’s romantic comedy
“Just Married.”
Kutcher sent a message on
Twitter Sunday mor ning
about Murphy’s death: “2day
the world lost a little piece of
sunshine,” Kutcher wrote.
“My deepest condolences go
out 2 Brittany’s family, her
husband, & her amazing
mother Sharon.”

aimed to seek out new partners and
markets for wind power. They came
back having forged a relationship
with Statoil, a Norwegian firm that
is among the world’s largest offshore
oil and gas companies and is responsible for the planet’s first deepwater
floating wind turbine.
Since then, Statoil representatives
came to Maine to visit companies
and facilities that could be key partners in their future offshore wind
plans. One of those visits was to BIW.
While the Bath shipyard will likely always be known for its Navy warships, a new “green” image has

represented a distinct minority
when she took her turns on the deck
plate building ships.
“Sometimes I got some second
glances, because there aren’t a lot of
females out there,” Read recalled.
“People kind of looked twice at me.”
As a freshman at New York-based
Webb Institute several years ago,
she spent a few months at the NASSCO shipyard in San Diego. She
attended the niche school because of
her interest in marine engineering
and design, but the curriculum
included hands-on work to ensure
that students understood the ramifications of their ship designs on the
workers who built the vessels.
“I was grinding, I was pulling
cables,” Read said. “I did a little
welding. If you’re going to design
these things, you should know what
it takes to put them together. You
can’t stick valves in places no one on
the crew can get to. You really have
to understand how these (design)
decisions affect the construction
and how the boat operates.”
As a sophomore at the Webb Institute, Read spent time on a tanker in

Maine, the only Republican to
support the bill in committee.
Obama called Snowe to the
White House for lengthy inperson meetings both before he
left for climate talks in Copenhagen and after his return on
Saturday. In the end Snowe
said she was “extremely disappointed” in what she called a
rushed process that left scant
time for her to review, much
less amend, the bill.
Still, the vote represented a
major victory for Democrats
and Obama, who’s now clearly in reach of passing legislation extending health coverage to nearly all Americans, a

how certain ship design qualities

During the final stretches of her
academic career, she interned with
an engineering and design firm.
So when the Long Island native
joined the BIW team more than a
decade ago, she had experience in all
facets of shipbuilding and design.
After five years in the company’s
engineering development program,
she was moved to strategic planning,
which she calls “the high level, big
picture view of the company.”
In that capacity, she’s part of a
unit that tracks military shipbuilding trends and scours the global
marketplace for non-traditional
industrial products the company
might find profitable.
“The one that popped out to me
immediately was renewable energy
and offshore wind,” Read said. “Offshore wind power is still a ways off,
but I think it’s coming.”
“Being on Long Island, I grew up
on the water,” Read recalled. “My
parents had a sailboat and I was good
at math and science, so marine engineering sort of made sense for me.”
goal that’s eluded a succession of past presidents. The

consolidation programs.
“We understand the cuts
are being proposed because of
the revenue shortfall, but for
the state to rationalize the
cuts in ter ms of failure to
consolidate is wrong,” Herman said.
Maine voters adopted a provision that would take 2 percent of annual revenue sharing and set it aside to encourage consolidation in 2004, he
said. The fund would have
gained approximately $2.5
million per year, Her man
said, but it was repeatedly
raided by the Legislature.
General purpose aid to education and revenue sharing
represent a 40-year tradition
of recognizing that towns
need more revenue than property tax alone can provide,
Herman said.
Reducing aid to education
and revenue cost sharing
places the burden back on
property taxes, Herman said.
Municipal gover nments
also would see changes to the
tree growth reimbursement
program, Homestead Exemption and other state-sponsored programs that serve to
lower local property taxes.

time, the shipyard was sending a
vessel into the Kennebec River using
inclined building ways.
The traditional launch technique
of sliding the massive ship down a
slope ceased with the 2001 introduction of the yard’s state-of-the-art
Land Level Transfer Facility, which
evenly lowers the vessel into the
water mechanically.
Just last week, the Bath Planning
Board granted BIW the approval it
needs to demolish and smooth over
the old inclined ways — a move the
shipyard justifies, in part, because
it’s seeking more room to accommodate new projects such as those
related to renewable energy.
Eight years ago, when the DDG-87
was getting ready for launch, Read’s
job was to ensure that the weight of
the warship was evenly distributed.
“Back then, you had to make sure
the fluids and levels were at just the
right point, to make sure it wasn’t tipping when it reached the water,” she
recalled of the task, which involved
walking through passageways of the

ship looking for things that might tip
the balance. “We tried to make it look
easy, but it was the loose stuff you
really wanted to account for. There
was still work being done at the time.
Tool boxes could have been left
around, and they could add up to hundreds of pounds.”
Now, Read’s responsibilities
include, potentially, finding new balance for the shipyard’s workload —
different products to manufacture in
the place where the ways once
stretched through the shipyard. As
one of BIW’s strategic planners,
there isn’t much about future Navy
shipbuilding or the potential for
renewable energy work that catches
Read off-guard.
But as she prepares for the next
milestone in her personal life, she
admitted, “I don’t really know what
to expect.”
Read and her husband, Douglas,
live in Wiscasset, and are expecting
a boy.
“I do expect the whole career and
family balancing act will be challenging,” she said. “But now that
we’ve been in Maine 10 years, we’re
ready to start a family.”
Balancing the state’s budget
for 2010-11, in Baldacci’s view,
also will rely on taking $69.8
million from the Maine State
Retiree Health Savings plan.
Sen. Peter Mills, R-Cornville,
who earlier this year introduced a bill that led to the creation of a task force to study
the Maine State Retirement
System, sees the proposal as
yet another way of failing to
balance the retirement fund.
“We have an unfunded liability of $2.3 billion for retiree
health benefits for teachers
and state employees,” Mills
said. “Under new accounting
rules, we are supposed to be
setting aside money each year
to begin chipping away at this
liability. The trust fund has
only about $80 million in it.
The consequence is that the
state’s balance sheet looks a
little worse and we are falling
further behind in efforts to
comply with public accounting rules.”
When the Legislature
reconvenes in January, lawmakers will begin dissecting
Baldacci’s proposed cuts and
will be asked to make recommendations for finding $209
million in 2010 and a $174 million in 2011 in the general
fund. Lawmakers removed
$569 million in general fund
expenditures earlier this year.
Baldacci did not propose
any tax, fee or fine increases
in his supplemental budget
proposal. He vowed to veto
any such proposals should
the Legislature endorse them.
“We believe the governor
deserves credit for his refusal
to include tax increases in the
supplemental budget,” Senate
Republican Leader Kevin
Raye, R-Perry, and House
Republican Leader Josh
Tardy, R-Newport, said in a
statement from the legislative
Republican leadership. “We
are particularly concerned
about proposals that would
push the state’s budget problems to the next governor and
the next Legislature, and further burden municipalities.”
“My budget proposal
includes hard choices and
requires shared sacrifice,”
Baldacci said. “We will maintain the essentials and support job growth. And when
our economy begins to escape
the shackles of this recession,
we will be better positioned
for recovery. We will have a
leaner, more efficient government built upon a foundation
of fiscal responsibility.”
As a result of $1.1 billion in
projected state revenue shortfalls, the 2010-11 budget is the
first in at least 35 years to be
smaller than its predecessor.

Battle of unbeatens goes Tigers’ way, 7-1
Biddeford (4-0) skates past
3-1 Brunswick on Friday
BY LARRY REESE
Times Record Contributor
BRUNSWICK
The Biddeford High School boys
ice hockey team kept its unblemished record intact with a 7-1 victory
over the Brunswick Dragons (3-1) on
Friday in Class A hockey action at
Sidney J. Watson Arena on Friday.
The game started with the teams
skating up and down the ice, each
getting off a couple of shots on goal.
But, at the 3:25 mark, Trevor
Fleurent scored for Biddeford with
assists going to linemates Craig
Anton and Brady Fleurent.
The 4-0 Tigers added two more
goals, Anton (assisted by Nick
Fitzgerald, Brady Fleurent) at 7:02,
and Trevor Fleurent (Anton) at 8:55,
before the Dragons were able to
muster another shot.
However, Brunswick’s next rush
ing the saves he’s got to make, and a
few times we hung him out to dry,
but he’s coming along,” said
Brunswick coach Mike Routhier.
did result in its only goal of the
night when Ryan Salerno, at 9:28,
stole the puck in his own end, skated
the length of the ice and scored to
cut the deficit to 3-1.
Rich Reissfelder, Biddeford’s head
coach said, “It felt good to come out
early, jump out three-zip like that.
Friday night sometimes the guys are
a little flatter, coming in here to
Brunswick’s building, jumping out
like that was a big help.”
The second period featured just
one score, a goal by Biddeford’s Eric
Grover, assisted by Nick Gagne and
Trevor Fleurent at 8:25, as the
Tigers took a 4-1 advantage. Biddeford outshot Brunswick 13-1 in the
period, but Dragons freshman netminder Isaac Karkos made several
good saves to keep his team alive.
“For a freshman, he’s got some
poise and composure, and he’s mak-
“Biddeford’s a good team,
and you have to come out

hockey coach
The Tigers were whistled for a
penalty just before the end of the
second period, and the Dragons
came out breathing fire. The hosts
fired four quick shots on goal, but
saw no reward, while the Tigers
scored on three of their first four
shots, all unassisted goals (Tyson
Nadeau at 1:27, Derek Reny at 1:55,
and Brady Fleurent at 3:52), to put
the game away.
“I think we got a little tired in the
end,” said Brunswick forward
James Waring. “We came out a little
flat, but at the end of the first period
and in the second period especially
we stepped it up and we played right
with them, but in the third we ran
out of steam. We started to come
back, but they just finished it off.
Their goalie came up big and sometimes that leads to an odd man rush
the other way off big rebounds and
there was nothing we could do to
shut them down on that.”
The Tigers finished the game with
38 shots on goal, while goalie Matt
Roy had to face just 11 Brunswick
shots, stopping 10.
Of his team Biddeford coach
Reissfelder said, “They’re very
aggressive. We’re very fortunate, we
have such a deep team, a skilled
team, they skate really, really well,
and they anticipate the play well,
and I think that makes them a step
faster, which is a tremendous help.”
As for the play of his first line,
which finished with 10 points, Reiss-
BOYS ICE HOCKEY
felder said, “I hear that (no one
seems to be able to control them) a
lot, and I don’t want it to go to their
heads. Two of them are brothers
(Fleurent), and they have been playing together forever, and Craig
Anton is the other one, and he’s a
fantastic player, and the biggest
strength they have is they know how
to play without the puck.”
Karkos made 31 saves.
“I thought we were skating in
mud tonight,” said Routhier. “Not
enough second efforts, not enough
first efforts. Biddeford’s a good
team, and you have to come out with
your ‘A’ game, and when you don’t
you get beat by six.
“We play Waterville on the 28th,
part of the Waterville Holiday Tourney,” continued Routhier of his
team’s future schedule. “But, the
first games are countable and it’s up
there, and right now they are
unbeaten, so it’s a team we aspire to
beat and we’re going to have to work
harder than we did tonight, that’s
for sure.”

FREEPORT
First-year Freeport High
School boys basketball coach
Nick Jewett will soon celebrate his 29th birthday.
However, too many fourth
quarters like Saturday night’s
Western Maine Conference
tilt against Wells may age
him a little more rapidly.
The Falcons continually
found ways to allow Wells to
hang around, but in the end,
Freeport had just too much
for the winless Warriors in a
63-56 victory in front of a
boisterous home crowd.
“That was the longest
fourth quarter of my coaching career so far,” said Jewett,
whose team improved to 2-4,
with a home date with Lake
Region slated for Tuesday.
“We let up there, and that is
the worst thing that you fear
as a coach. But, we responded
and stayed strong and stuck
true to what we do. They were
able to pull it out and never
gave up.”
Freeport’s
second-half
leads were as high as 10
points, and as low as two. A
nine-point lead (58-49) with
1:17 left in the fourth was
quickly lowered to 58-53, but
Wells missed a pair of key
free throws and game-high
scorer Thomas Dorsey (18
points) sank three out of four
free throws, followed by a pair
from 17-point scorer Josh
Weirich, to seal the win.
12-0 run
Wells came out of the gates
quickly, getting a 3-pointer
from Paul McDonough, and
pair of putbacks from McDonough and Travis Shelley for
a 9-5 lead.
Freeport answered, running off a 12-0 run for a 17-9
lead with one minute left in

Weirich each canned four

the Falcons led 19-12 after
eight minutes behind nine
points from Weirich.
Wells chipped into its
deficit, using an 8-2 run to get
to within 21-20 after a 3-pointer from Bill Wang, but a pair
of defensive stands and four
quick points upped the Fal-

cons’ advantage to 25-20.
“It was important that we
never let them catch us, and we
stayed tough on defense, and
that is how we pulled out the
win,” said Weirich, who also
had seven rebounds and six
steals.
Doug McLean’s short jumper
brought the Warriors to within
two points at the half (29-27),
but Freeport began the second
half with a trey from Sean Enking and an offensive board and
layup by Josh Ackley for a 34-27
lead.
A three-point play by Zach
Deshaies drew Wells to within
a bucket again (37-35) with 3:31
left in the third, but an Enking
layup off a nice feed from
Dorsey began a 6-0 run as
Freeport finished the quarter
with a 45-37 edge.
Three times in the fourth,
Freeport’s lead rose to double
digits, only to see Wells battle
back as McDonough hit a pair
of long 3-pointers and completed a hoop-and-harm in finishing with 17 points.
“We never gave up tonight,
and that is something to be
proud of,” said Jewett. “There
were several times that Wells
made some runs, and the teams
took a lot of foul shots in the
fourth quarter (34). I am
pleased that we came out on
top.”
Freeport made good on 14 of
21 free throws in the final
frame, and finished the game 17
of 29 from the charity stripe.
Wells struggled with the freebies, especially in the fourth
quarter when the Warriors
made just four of 13 to complete the game 11 of 27.
The Falcons received 11
points from Jackson Dodge,
seven from Enking and four
each from Ackley and Kyle
Strozewski. Freeport shot 34
percent (22 of 63) from the field,
held a 32-27 edge in rebounds
and forced 35 Wells turnovers.
Dorsey had seven rebounds
and a like number of steals.
Wells shot 19 of 60 (31 percent) from the field and forced
32 Freeport turnovers. Wang
had 12 points, seven rebounds
and three steals, while Josh
Ingalls chipped in 12 points and
seven caroms.

Paul Pierce ties franchise
record by hitting all six

BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce wasn’t going to let the Boston Celtics
lose to another struggling team.
Pierce scored 29 points, tying a
franchise record by hitting all six of
his 3-point attempts, and the Celtics
beat the Minnesota Timberwolves
122-104 on Sunday night.
One game after snapping an 11game winning streak with a loss to
the Philadelphia 76ers, the No. 14
team in the Eastern Conference, the
Celtics reached a season-high in
points against the worst team in the
West.
“We were ticked (off) and we were
mad,” said Kevin Garnett. “It definitely is fuel for the next practice, if
not the next game. You can’t win
them all, but you can apply those
things to the game, and I thought we
came out focused tonight.”
The Celtics opened a 15-point lead

topped th at total in 10 games since

Giants hit must-win mode tonight vs. Redskins
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — The Washington Redskins exhausted their supply of
must-win games long ago. The New York
Giants never expected to have any.
But the Giants are indeed in gotta-have-awin mode as they visit the Redskins tonight.
The 5-0 start belongs to another era, and
now New York (7-6) needs a victory just to
stay in a close third place behind Philadelphia and Dallas in the NFC East.
“You have to win this game,” kicker
Lawrence Tynes said. “I think there has
been much said about ’We have to do this
and do that.’ We have to go do it and quit
talking about it.”
A loss would put the Giants two games
out of the playoff picture with two games to
play, in need of lots of help and at the mercy
of tiebreakers. Only a 3-0 finish makes a
playoff berth look feasible.
“We’ve put ourselves in a hole now, and
every game and every play is a must-win,”
rookie cornerback Bruce Johnson said. “I
don’t want to say we are panicking right
now, but there is a sense of urgency to pick
it up a little bit.”
Those are the words of a kicker and a
rookie, but the well-polished veterans know
the deal as well — they just express it in
more measured tones.
CYAN MAGENTA
Quarterback Eli Manning said simply
“That is the mindset” when asked about the
need to pull off three straight wins. Defensive end Justin Tuck said he thinks the
Giants are in must-win territory, but he
added it can create too much pressure to say
something like that outright.
There’s a similar dichotomy in the locker
room of the Redskins (4-9). Bring up the role
of spoiler, and the young guys embrace it,
while the older players and the coach want
no part of it.
Rookie linebacker Brian Orakpo: “I’d love
to be the Grinch on their Christmas.”

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS wide receiver Julian Edelman, left, congratulates teammate Randy Moss on
his touchdown against the Buffalo Bills during the
first half of an NFL football game in Orchard Park,
N.Y., on Sunday. New England won 17-10.
Moss gets in last word
after Pats’ 17-10 win
BY JOHN WAWROW
The Associated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.
After having his teammates and coaches spend
much of the week coming to his defense, Patriots
receiver Randy Moss broke his silence, intent on getting in the last word regarding what he thought about
his critics.
And to be sure, Moss was in no mood to take any
questions afterward.
“You all did your talking, now let me do mine,”
Moss said, addressing reporters outside of the visitor’s locker room at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday.
“I’ve been in the league 12 years and I have been
through a lot. These shoulders I have on my body, you
could put the earth on it. Just to let you know, I
bounce back.”
And just like that, Moss left the podium as quickly
as he had arrived, contented with the emphatic statement he had made in contributing to a 17-10 win over
the Buffalo Bills.
A week after appearing disinterested during a 20-10
win over Carolina, after which Panthers players
accused him of quitting, Moss responded with a
touchdown as part of a five-catch, 70-yard outing
against Buffalo. Moss scored on a 13-yard catch, giving him the ninth 10-touchdown season of his career,
matching the NFL record set by Jerry Rice
More important, the win put the Patriots (9-5) in
the driver’s seat for their fifth AFC East Division title
in six years. New England now sits two wins ahead of
both Miami and the New York Jets, who lost on Sunday.
Tully Banta-Cain had three of six
sacks for a unit that was minus
starting linemen Vince Wilfork (foot)
and Ty Warren (ankle).
“There was no doubt in my mind that he was going
to bounce back from last week,” receiver Wes Welker
said, referring to Moss. “He showed why he is one of
the best to play the game.”
The Patriots won only their second road game of
the season — and first on this side of the Atlantic
after beating Tampa Bay at London’s Wembley Stadium in October. And this victory capped what’s been a
decade of dominance over Buffalo, during which New
England has won 18 of 20 meetings, and 13 straight.
No need to remind the Bills (5-9), who were mathematically eliminated from contention, extending
their playoff drought to 10 years — matching Detroit
for the NFL’s longest active streak.
“Very sick of losing to the Patriots,” safety Donte
Whitner said. “They have a little swagger about
themselves because they know they’ve beaten us so
many times.”
Actually, the Bills played a big role in beating themselves. Buffalo was undone by 11 penalties for 124
yards, including a pair of pass-interference calls that
set up New England’s two touchdowns.
Then there was Buffalo’s inept offense. After smartly opening the game with a 69-yard drive that featured two third-down conversions and ended with
Rian Lindell’s 25-yard field goal, the Bills managed
just 172 yards and converted zero of 10 third-down
chances the rest of the way.
Even interim head coach Perry Fewell’s attempt to
spark the offense backfired when he benched Ryan
Fitzpatrick in favor of Trent Edwards at the start of
the fourth quarter. Edwards went 1-of-2 for minus-1
yard passing, and was sacked by Tully Banta-Cain for
a 9-yard loss in which Edwards hurt his ankle and did
not return.
“Obviously, I was upset,” Fitzpatrick said of his
benching. “But I couldn’t sit there and sulk about it.”
Fitzpatrick went 17 of 25 for 178 yards with an
interception and an 11-yard touchdown to Lee Evans
with 3:02 left on what proved to be Buffalo’s final
drive.
The Patriots offense wasn’t much better. Tom
Brady went 11 for 23 for a season-low 115 yards and an
interception, while Laurence Maroney had 81 yards
rushing and scored on a 1-yard run in a game New
England hung on after building a 17-3 lead.
It was New England’s banged-up defense that
proved to be the difference.
Banta-Cain had three of six sacks for a unit that
was minus starting linemen Vince Wilfork (foot) and
Ty Warren (ankle).
“I don’t know about making a statement. We got the
job done, and that’s the most important thing,” linebacker Adalius Thomas said. “Winning makes everything better.”

Middle Tennessee beats
Southern Miss 42-32
BY MARY FOSTER
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS
Dwight Dasher limped off the field twice during the
New Orleans Bowl, though his ankle injury really didn’t seem to slow him down.
The Middle Tennessee quarterback provided 363 of
the Blue Raiders 450 yards of offense and four touchdowns in their 42-32 victory over Southern Mississippi on Sunday night.
Dasher rushed 26 times for a New Orleans Bowlrecord 201 yards and two touchdowns, and completed
15 of 25 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns. His
rushing total was the highest by a quarterback in a
bowl game, surpassing the 200 that Vince Young had
for Texas against USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
Dasher also became the ninth player in Football
Bowl Subdivision history to pass for 2,000 yards and
rush for 1,000 yards in the same season.
Middle Tennessee (10-3), playing in the second bowl
game in school history, concluded its best season since
joining the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1999 with a
seven-game winning streak and its first bowl victory.
With 5,302 yards rushing overall, Damion Fletcher
passed Herschel Walker (5,259) and LaDainian Tomlinson (5,263) for eighth on the NCAA’s career list.

Lily Colley added 12.
“We wanted to contain Colley and I think we did,” said
Harper. “But, we didn’t know
that Bragdon could do that.”
In the first half, which featured 28 fouls, Freeport fell
behind 17-7, but a key 3-pointer by Whitney Bibeau with
6:47 left in the half sparked a
comeback.
While Wells’ fullcourt pressure caused some problems
for the hosts, Freeport’s
rebounding, especially at the
offensive end, added the right
touch.
A Wyman jumper from 15
feet out with 4:28 left in the second quarter brought Freeport
to within 23-20, but a 4-0 run put
Wells back up 27-20.
Wyman nailed a 3-pointer

After a tie at 36, the Warriors opened a 45-38 lead on a

hristmas is
just a few
days away,
and, unless
they’ve been
secluded
since
Thanksgiving, it’s likely most
Mid-coast residents have heard
the jingling bells and seen the
red kettles outside area retailers and grocery stores.
The Salvation Army has stationed its familiar bell ringers
and traditional red kettles in
high traffic areas throughout
the holiday season for more
that a century.
Since 1891, when a Salvation
Army captain in San Francisco
set a pot out on the docks to collect money to pay for Christmas dinners for a 1,000 of the
city’s poorest citizens, the kettle has been a mainstay in the
organization’s fundraising
efforts. According to its Web
site, www.salvationarmyusa.
org, those funds can account
for up to 40 percent of a some
corps’ yearly budget.
This year, “we’re hoping to
be able to raise $60,000,” said
Capt. Kenneth Henderson, pastor at the Bath Corps.
He noted that it’s difficult to
anticipate how much will be
collected, given the current economic conditions, but added
that last Christmas season the
Bath corps collected the same
as it did in 2007.
“However, the amount of
clients coming in for help has
increased dramatically,” Henderson added. “So overall there
has been definitely a negative
impact” from the economic
slowdown.
Kettle contributions in the
Bath area are not as big a slice
of the budgetary pie as some
corps — perhaps 17 percent in
recent years — mainly because
of the generosity of the community and supplemental
funds from organizations such
as the United Way. Donations
throughout the year help keep
the budget going, allowing the
local corps to meet more needs.
But, the Bath corps warns,
just because the kettles make
up less than the 40 percent in
some other corps, each contribution is vital.
For example, there have been
more requests for Christmas
assistance during the first two
weeks of November than there
were all of last year, according
to Capt. Henderson.
“Even if we hit the (kettle)
target, we’re still going into a
negative situation because
there’s so many more people”
in need, he said.
Those who drop money into
local kettles can be confident
that those funds are meeting
needs within the community.
Some of the funds given
through Salvation Army corps
help support people in poverty
through utility assistance,
senior and child care, assistance
to the homeless, and drug abuse
treatment, in addition to buying

THE SALVATION ARMY has had its bell ringers out in full force around the Bath-Brunswick area. Collections in the red kettles help the Bath corps fund a variety of programs as well as provide food,
clothing and utilities assistance to the area’s needy. According to Capt. Ken Henderson, the need
continues to rise each year, making kettle donations all the more important. Jeff Parker jingles by

food and toys at Christmastime.
In Bath, weekly children’s
programming and homework
help is available, in addition to
clothing and food assistance.
The needs expand well beyond
kettle season.
At its roots
The Salvation Army is an
evangelical part of the universal Christian church, according
to its Web site.
William Booth, considered
the “father” of The Salvation
Army, was a preacher who ministered to the needy, poor and
homeless on the streets of London. Booth led his life by example, giving to the people while
teaching them about the Bible.
In 1867, Booth had organized
10 full-time workers. However,
seven years later it swelled to
1,000 volunteers and 42 evangelists, working under the name,
“The Christian Mission.”
Booth held the position of general superintendent, which
supporters shortened to Gen.
Booth.
According to its Web site, the
organization informally was
called the “Hallelujah Army,”
and by 1878 had become known
as The Salvation Army. The
next year, the army crossed the
Atlantic and held its first meetings in the United States.
Many attempts to expand
were met with violence,
ridicule and even arrests. Some
“soldiers,” now known as “Salvationists,” died in the 1880s
while the ministry “converted”
a quarter million people.
Today, The Salvation Army’s
volunteers meet some of the
same needs as they minister to
the downtrodden, but without
the violent persecution their
predecessors faced.
One way to help meet those
needs is to drop a donation into
a red kettle. They’ll be out until
Christmas.
Donations can be made at any
time of year. Anyone wishing to
give can do so by mailing a
check to The Salvation Army, 25
Congress Ave., Bath, ME 04530.
Online donations at www.salvationarmyusa.org must indicate
the gift is intended for the Bath,
Maine, corps in order for the
funds to be used locally, according to Henderson.
Funds sent to the local corps
can be designated for a specific
program, or left unrestricted,
which makes the funds available to meet the greatest need
at the time. For more information, call the Bath corps at 4433611.

Stanley Dudek told the

he came across the book

returning the book to the city

Nick Jonas’ new band has new gig: People’s Choice
BY ALICIA RANCILIO
The Associated Press
NEW YORK
Nick Jonas is used to performing in front of screaming
fans who know all the words
to their favorite Jonas Brothers songs.
Now his new band, Nick
Jonas & The Administration,
is getting ready to perform as
the house band for the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards on
Jan. 15 in Los Angeles. The
band will be expected to not
only entertain but also keep
the pace of the show moving.
“I’m excited and honored. ...
We’ll be performing a lot of
covers. Intros and outros to the
commercials. I think we have
about 25 songs to learn,” Jonas
said in a recent interview.
The 17-year-old singermusician calls his band a side
project. They will record an
album, Jonas said, but he will
continue to record music
with his brothers Kevin and
Joe of the Jonas Brothers.
Since the awards show will
be about movies, Jonas said
his favorite film of 2009 was
“The Invention of Lying,”
which he described as
“funny” and “fantastic.”
“I love Ricky Gervais,” he
said.
He is also a big fan of
George Clooney.
“I don’t know if he’ ll be
there (in the audience at the
awards show) but I just saw
‘Up in the Air’ and thought it
was great,” Jonas said.
The awards are presented
by the Broadcast Film Critics
Association.

DEAR ABBY: I have two

I am honest and open with
them about everything. For
their ages, they are wellinfor med about sex, drugs
and alcohol.
Some of my friends and
neighbors have a problem
with my children asking
questions in front of them,
and with me for giving them
honest and age-appropriate
answers.
I have been told I am giving
them too much information
and “oversexualizing” and
“overeducating” my children.
This is not the way I view it.
Everything I say is at a level
my children can comprehend,
and I don’t give more details
than I need to. My kids know
that drugs are bad and how to
identify them in order to
refuse them. They also know
how alcohol and tobacco
affect the human body, how
babies are “made” and where
they come from.
I believe that honesty is a
better policy than “wait until
you’re older and we’ll discuss
this.” Am I right, or are my
friends and neighbors correct?

MISCELLANEOUS
CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT for the
Pemaquid-Damariscotta area,
Dear
Abby
Jeanne
Phillips
they can understand, you are
showing your children that
you are open, honest, unembarrassed — and that they
can be, too. Good for you!
DEAR ABBY: For 14 years
I suffered extreme mental and
physical abuse from my parents. It led to chronic depression and self-destructive
behavior, until I finally sought
the help of a therapist. With
talk, therapy and medication,
I am finally on stronger footing.
I am 34 now and much better off since I have severed all
contact with my parents. My
problem is how to convince
my aunts that this is what is
best for me, and that I am not
an “ungrateful daughter” for
choosing to have no contact
with either parent. I no longer
have the energy for their
crazy drama. Am I “ungrateful” because of what I have
done?
HEALTHIER NOW IN
MASSACHUSETTS
DEAR HEALTHIER: No,
not considering your family
history, and assuming the
decision to cut off contact
organized by Mid-Coast Audubon;
563-3578.

with your parents was made
with the help of your therapist. If that’s the case, then
what you have done is to protect yourself from further
emotional abuse.
Do your aunts know what
you suffered while growing
up? If so, they should clearly
understand that you are doing
only what you must in order
to maintain mental stability.
And if they don’t, explain it to
them, and don’t apologize or
allow them to make you feel
guilty.
DEAR ABBY: I work in an
office with more than 30
employees. Two weeks ago an
envelope was sent around
seeking our mandatory contributions to give gifts to the
partners of the office “to
show our appreciation.”
I was always taught one
never “gifts up” the chain of
command. I show my appreciation each day by being a
good employee. Am I wrong?
BLACKMAILED IN
CONNECTICUT
DEAR BLACKMAILED: I
don’t think so. It appears you
and your fellow employees are
being ordered to pony up in
order to keep your job. And by
the way, “mandatory contribution” is an oxymoron.
Write Dear Abby at
www.DearAbby.com or P.O.
Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069.

Friday’s answers
“QUOTE OF THE DAY”
Answer to today’s puzzle can be found on Page C2.
“Obama has tried desperately to stay away from
race, and all of us understand what he’s doing.
But when you have such a disproportionate
number of African-Americans unemployed, it
would be irresponsible not to direct attention and
resources to the people who are receiving the
greatest level of pain.”
— Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., as black lawmakers are stepping
up their demands that the nation’s first black president do more for
minority communities hit hardest by the recession.

Before you call to place a classified advertisement with
The Times Record, here are some hints on how to place
an effective ad that will help you get better results!
◆ Be prepared when you call by writing out your ad
before hand.
◆ Begin your ad by identifying the item you are selling
by its most commonly used name. Real estate and
rental ads usually begin with the city or town, automobile ads with the make and model.
◆ Describe the item by listing its best features, condition, color, model and other info help readers
determine interest before calling. The more you
tell, the easier it is to sell. Avoid abbreviations, they
tend to confuse the reader.
◆ Give the price of the item. If you’re flexible, you
can include “best offer” or “negotiable.”
◆ Abbreviations reduce the effectiveness of your
advertising. Therefore, we accept only standard
abbreviations.
◆ Complete your ad with a phone number and the
hours in which you will receive phone calls. You
may also want to include your e-mail address, as
all classifieds are posted at www.timesrecord.com!

Holiday books for kids
put Santa in dreadlocks
BY LEANNE ITALIE
The Associated Press
NEW YORK
Santa on tropical sands, spinning dreidels and the special
sounds of Kwanzaa await parents looking to freshen the holidays with new books for their
kids this year. Consider these:
— “Christmas with Rita
and Whatsit” (Chronicle
Books, $14.99, ages 4-8) by
Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignod
and illustrated by Olivier Tallec. Whatsit, a little dog with
a big personality, is getting
ready for Santa. So is his
feisty little girl, Rita. The dog
has a tree ador ned with
sausage, salami and bologna.
And his girl goes beyond the
traditional Christmas stocking and hauls all her footwear
out for treats.
— “I Love Christmas”
(Simon & Schuster, $9.99, ages
2-6) written and illustrated by
Anna Walker. Zebra child
Ollie (think a stuffed animal
come alive) and his dog Fred
trim the tree and play Santa
and reindeer in the bathtub.
Among the things Ollie loves
most about Christmas: making glitter stars and doing the
dance of a joyful angel. One
in a series of simple “I Love”
books from Walker.
— “The Secret of Santa’s
Island” (Penguin, $16.99, ages
4-8) written and illustrated by
Steve Breen. Pulitzer Prizewinning creator of the syndicated comic strip “Grand
Avenue” shows Santa kicking
back in straw hat and flower
shirt on his top-secret vacation
island. Little boy Sam stows
away to see it for himself. Santa
hangs 10 and the reindeer take
oceanside spa treatments.
— “A Nutty Nutcracker
Christmas”
(Chronicle
Books, $18.99, ages 4-8) by
Ralph Covert and G. Riley
Mills, illustrated by Wilson
Swain. Based on the musical
by Mills and Covert of
Ralph’s World fame. Fritz
loses video game privileges
for breaking his sister's nutcracker, then defies parental
punishment and unlocks a
magical world where a stinky
cheese-spraying Mouse King
is put in his place in a showdown over Toy Town. (The
Nutcracker warrior is a girl!)
— “Happy Hanukkah,
K
Corduroy” (Penguin, $5.99, 03) boardbook based on a character created by Don Freeman
and illustrated by Lisa McCue.
This story features the beloved
— and universalist — little
bear Corduroy in yarmulke,
hosting a Hanukkah party for
his friends. He lights the candles and serves latkes in a dreidel-pattern apron. This bear
gets around. Books of years
past have him celebrating
Easter and Christmas.
— “A Chanukah Present
for: ME!” (Scholastic, $6.99,
ages 0-3) boardbook by Lily
Karr and illustrated by Jill
McDonald. Packaged in its
own attached gift box for
added fun and portability.
Chanukah, from applesauce
and latkes to glowing menorahs and presents, is represented in simple question
text. A Christmas version is
also available.
— “The Sound of Kwanzaa” (Scholastic, $16.99, ages
4-8) by Dimitrea Tokunbo and
illustrated by Lisa Cohen.
“Come close, gather ‘round.
Listen to the sound of Kwanzaa,” accompanies the turn of
every page as the seven guiding principles of the sevenday celebration are explained.
The colors of the candles lit
each night and Swahili terminology is included, along with
Tokunbo’s favorite karamu
(feast) recipe for brownies to
give away with a surprise for
each recipient.
— “The Story of Snow:
The Science of Winter's
Wonder” (Chronicle Books,
$16.99, ages 4-8) by Mark
Cassino with Jon Nelson. A
nature photographer (Cassino) and a snow scientist (Nelson) team up to satisfy any
young scientific mind’s
curiosity about ice crystals.
The two begin at the beginning, explaining in text
accompanied by fascinating
magnified photography exactly how tiny particles of dirt,
ash or salt form a speck that
starts a snow crystal growing.
— “The Night Before
Christmas” (Penguin, $16.99,
ages 4-8) retold and illustrated
by Rachel Isadora. Santa’s got
brown skin and snow white
dreadlocks in this Africa-set
version of the classic Clement
C. Moore poem. It features
cut-paper work that pops out.

Saint Lucia, the
queen of light (A European legend)
ADAPTED BY AMY FRIEDMAN and
ILLUSTRATED BY JILLIAN GILLILAND
Long ago, when the Roman
Emperor Diocletian ruled the
land we know as Italy, a
young girl was born to a
Roman father and a Greek
mother. From the moment of
her birth, the little girl
glowed with an inner light,
and so her parents named her
Lucia. And just as that light
had promised, she grew to be
loving and beautiful, bursting
with warmth. Sadly, Lucia’s
father died when she was just
a girl, but her mother, Eutychia, loved the girl deeply.
In those days the emperor of
the land outlawed the practice
of Christianity. Anyone who
was caught praying to the
Christian God would be imprisoned, or worse. And so all those
who wished to pray to Jesus
met in secret, often in caverns
or caves or dark tunnels under
the city called catacombs, and
almost always late at night,
under cover of darkness.
From the time she was
young Lucia was devoted to
Jesus and wished only to be
permitted to pray to her God.
She wished the same for others, too, and because she was
a generous girl, often she prepared food to take to secret
prayer sessions.
As she walked through the
tunnels, she wore a crown of
candles upon her head — a
signal that she was a friend,
not a foe. In her hands she
carried trays of pastries to
nourish her friends.
As she grew older, she became more beautiful. Her eyes
danced with the fire of life, and
many of the men in the surrounding land fell in love with
her and wished to marry her.
Her mother, Eutychia,
selected a husband for her. He
was very wealthy and handsome and kind, but he did not
believe in Jesus, and besides,
Lucia did not wish to marry
anyone. She pleaded with her
mother. “I’m devoted to God
alone!” she wept. “Do not
force me to marry this man.”
But Eutychia was determined to see her daughter
wed, and the man had fallen in
love. There seemed no escape.
Then Eutychia grew ill. She
lay in bed, pale and shivering,
near death. She called Lucia
to her bedside. “You must
CYAN MAGENTA
TELL ME A STORY
marry. Someone must look
after you,” she whispered.
But Lucia had an idea. Helping her mother into a carriage,
she led her on a pilgrimage to
the tomb of Saint Agatha of
Sicily. There Lucia prayed to
Agatha, who protects all
women in danger. She prayed
for God to restore her mother’s
health, and to Eutychia’s
amazement, she was healed.
“I asked God to help you
and, you see, He has answered
my prayers,” Lucia said.
“Now I hope you will answer
mine and allow me to remain
true to the only one I love.”
Her mother agreed, but the
young man would not give her
up. He pursued Lucia, and
when she continued to refuse
him, he grew angry. At last his
heart turned to stone, and one
night, seeing her leaving her
home with a crown of candles
upon her head, he was filled
with jealousy. So he followed
YELLOW BLACK
her into the catacombs and
discovered her secret.
In the morning Lucia woke
to pounding on her door, and
when she opened it, there
stood the Emperor’s soldiers,
waiting to take her away.
They were going to sell her
into slavery for the crime of
practicing her religion.
“I will not go with you,” she
said. When the soldiers tried
to arrest her, Lucia resisted.
As the soldiers tried to seize
her, she slipped from their
grasp. When they did manage
to catch her, she proved too
heavy to move.
The soldiers grew afraid.
“You see,” Lucia said, “the
power of my God protects me.”
They called more soldiers
until at long last they dragged
her to prison. However, no
matter how they brought
har m upon her, Lucia prevailed. And though they took
her sight, they could not take
away her humanity. Finally
they took her life.
To this day, Lucia is revered
as a saint and a martyr — the
patron saint of eyesight.
Many years after young
Lucia’s death, King Canute,
the Viking warrior, declared
that each year Christmas
would begin with Lucia’s feast
in mid-December, and it would
last for one whole month. To
this day people in many Scandinavian lands, especially
Sweden, honor her memory
and the light she carried into
the world with her faith.
In Sweden there is a particularly beautiful tradition. On
Dec. 13, the shortest day in
the old Julian calendar, the
oldest daughter of the house
puts on a wreath with candles
on her head and wakes the
other members of the family
with coffee and pastry.
“TELL ME A STORY 3: Women
of Wonder,” the third CD in the
audiobook series, is now available. For
