Cheetahs’ secret: Tight turning radius (NY Times) — Anyone who has watched a cheetah run down an antelope knows that these cats are impressively fast. But it turns out that speed is not the secret to their prodigious hunting skills: a novel study of how cheetahs chase prey in the wild shows that it is their agility — their skill at leaping sideways, changing directions abruptly and slowing down quickly — that gives those antelope such bad odds. “Cheetahs don’t actually go very fast when they’re hunting,” said Alan M. Wilson, a professor at the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London who studied cheetahs in Botswana and published a paper about them on Wednesday in the journal Nature. “The hunt is much more about maneuvering, about acceleration, about ducking and diving to capture the prey.” Until now researchers had been able to gather data on the hunting habits of cheetahs only by studying the animals in captivity, or from direct — though relatively imprecise — observations of their movements in the wild. But Dr. Wilson and his team spent nearly 10 years designing and building a battery-powered, solar-charged tracking collar, one that uses an accelerometer, a gyroscope and GPS technology to monitor the animal’s movements.

House advances bill that would limit abortions
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Legislation that would outlaw nearly all abortions after the 22nd week of pregnancy was put on a fast track to the House floor on Wednesday after being approved in committee on a party-line vote. The 20-to-12 vote by the House Judiciary Committee on the Republican-sponsored Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is the latest instance in which abortion oppo-
nents, emboldened by a series of victories in the states, have pursued a new legislative strategy that aims to focus public attention on the disputed theory that fetuses can feel pain. “Delivered or not, babies are babies, and it has been shown that they can feel pain at least by 20 weeks,” said Representative Robert W. Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican who is the chairman of the committee. A vote by the full House could come as
early as next week, aides to Republican House leaders said, though the bill is virtually certain to go no further because of opposition in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Republicans found themselves once again wading into politically perilous territory on a subject, reproductive rights, that badly tripped them up in the 2012 elections after Republican candidates made indelicate and erroneous comments about rape and contraception.
Environmental rules delayed Dozens of Shiites reported as White House slows reviews killed in raid by Syria rebels
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The White House has blocked several Department of Energy regulations that would require appliances, lighting and buildings to use less energy and create less global-warming pollution, as part of a broader slowdown of new antipollution rules issued by the Obama administration. The administration has spent as long as two years reviewing some of the energy efficiency rules proposed by the Energy Department, bypassing a 1993 executive order that in most instances requires the White House to act on proposed regulations within 90 days.

Che in
BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — At least 30 Shiite Muslim residents of a village in eastern Syria were killed in a reprisal raid by rebels, the government and opposition fighters and activists said Wednesday, the latest in a string of massacres underscoring the increasingly sectarian nature of the Syrian conflict. The Syrian government called the killings, which were reported to have taken place on Tuesday in Hatlah, a village in the oil-rich province of Deir al-Zour, a massacre of civilians, saying that 30 died. Anti-government activists put the toll at 60 and said most of the dead were pro-government militia fighters who had attacked rebels one day earlier. But some of the activists nonetheless condemned the Hatlah attack as a destructive act of revenge that showed the powerlessness of moderates among the mostly Sunni rebels to rein in extremists. What was not in dispute was that several battalions of Sunni rebels, including members of extremist Islamist groups, stormed the village and, in video posted online by anti-government activists, could be seen setting houses on fire as they shouted sectarian slogans, calling Shiites dogs, apostates and infidels.

With some Congressional Democrats and environmental advocates criticizing the delays, President Obama’s nominee to direct the regulatory affairs offices said at his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday that his first priority would be to speed the agency’s review process. The nominee, Howard A. Shelanski, who is now the top economist at the Federal Trade Commission, said at the confirmation hearing that he would try “to ensure that regulatory review at OIRA occurs in as timely a manner as possible.”

Richmond lobster company poised to lease space on Maine State Pier By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
The Maine State Pier is closer to adding a Richmond-based lobster company as its newest tenants. Portland’s Housing and Community Development Committee is recommending that the City Council approve a 15-year lease with Shuck’s Maine Lobster so the company can set up shop in 18,000 square feet of space in the Portland Ocean Terminal Building on the pier. Shuck’s Maine Lobster, based in Richmond, is a seafood processor that ships its product across the country and internationally and has set its sights on the pier as the home to its second facility. City Councilor Nick Mavodones said the city has looked at leasing the building for some time, and he’s pleased that a marinerelated tenant has shown interest in the space. “I think this is really good for Portland’s waterfront,” he said. Greg Mitchell, the city’s economic development director, said the agreement with Shucks will give them 18,000 square feet with an option to lease
additional spaces if expansion is needed. He said the company anticipates creating nine fulltime jobs and 60 part-time positions at the facility. The rent will start at $202,208, if the council approves the lease, according to a staff memo, and increase 2 percent each year of the agreement. The lease agreement will include 10 parking spaces in the Thames Street lot, according to Mitchell, though there’s flexibility in the document should the city need to relocate those spaces to another area. Mitchell said the city will need to make some upgrades to the facility to make it usable for a seafood processing facility, and Shucks will pay $1 million toward those improvements. John Hathaway, the president of Shucks Maine Lobster, said the next generation of seafood companies are working to rebuild the brand of Maine lobster and carry it into the future. “We are an innovative company,” he said. Hathaway said Shucks is fulfilling a vision it’s had for a while by becoming a part of Portland’s
working waterfront, which he sees as the center of the lobster universe. Shucks products include processed, raw lobster that can be shipped to customers around the country and the world, according to Hathaway, and easy-shuck lobster tails processed in a way where the meat doesn’t stick to the shell. Hathaway said there’s energy and synergy on the waterfront for processors, retailers and chefs who want to make Portland the lobster capital. “We want to be a small part of that,” he said. Councilor Ed Suslovic said he thinks Shucks will be a great addition to the waterfront. “I love the idea of branding Portland as the lobster capital,” he said. Last August, Shucks sponsored the Maine Lobster World Series, which brought chefs from Germany, Hong Kong and Boston to compete in a three-day challenge. The company will host the competition again in August and plans to make Portland the permanent home of the lobster cooking challenge.
People’s United Community Foundation, the philanthropic arm of People’s United Bank, announced Wednesday that it awarded $67,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations throughout Maine. Twelve organizations received funding in support of activities that ranged from financial literacy and education programs, to basic needs services and affordable housing initiatives, the foundation reported. Recipients included Mainestream Finance, Fair Tide, Genesis Fund, Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Maine, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, and Wayside Food Programs. People’s United Community Foundation awarded a total of $896,444 in grants to 128 nonprofit organizations throughout the communities it serves in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The funding was distributed within the foundation’s three areas of focus, with 35 percent allocated to youth development, 31 percent to community development, and 14 percent to affordable housing initiatives. People’s United Community Foundation also contributed 20 percent of its funding to local United Way organizations across its footprint through the People’s United Bank employee match campaign. “We received more grant applications during this grant cycle than ever before, and we are very pleased to report that we were able to provide funding to a record proportion of those requests,” said Vincent Santilli, executive director of the foundation. For a detailed list of organizations that People’s United Community Foundation supported during the second grant cycle of 2013, visit www.pucf.org.
Jehovah’s Witnesses moving to Augusta due to Civic Center work Jehovah’s Witnesses are planning their annual conventions and an accompanying campaign to invite the public to attend, but in Maine, the gathering will take place in Augusta rather than Portland due to ongoing renovations to the Cumberland County Civic Center. “Jehovah’s Witnesses are currently finalizing the planning of their annual conventions throughout the United Statesm,” a press advisory noted. For the last few years, the 9,000 plus who attend the local conventions have used the Civic Center in Portland, but “due to the renovation plans they will be meeting at the Civic Center in Augusta. There will be two three-day conventions. The first convention will run from Friday, June 21 through Sunday, June 23 and the second will be held the following week starting Friday, June 28. The theme chosen for this year’s conventions is: ‘God’s Word Is Truth!’” The Witnesses will continue the programs worldwide through the end of December, according to their website.

Youngster writing from California inundated with items from Maine (Editor’s note: The following letter appeared in The Portland Daily Sun. It read, in part: “My name is David Gothrow and I am ten years old. My fifth grade teacher assigned my class a project to learn more about the states in the United States of America. I live in California but I chose to do my report on the state of Maine because that is where my grandfather was born and raised. My report is due on May 29, 2013. I was hoping to get some help from the people of Maine. Could you please send me information or interesting facts about your beautiful state that I could share with my classmates.” On Wednesday, the following letter arrived:) Editor, Our family would like to thank all the people who took time out of their schedule to help our 10-year-old son, David, with his state report. You should feel proud to live in the state of Maine because you are surrounded by many very kind and generous people in towns all throughout the state. David was the only student in his class to ask his state to help him collect information for his report. He received a total of 63 letters and packages. Every day the school secretary would call him to the school office to collect his mail and all his class mates were so excited to see what had arrived each day! He received 104 brochures, 103 postcards, 41 Maine magazines, 23 travel guides, 12 books, 11 Maine maps, 8 bookmarks, 6 pencils, 3 pinecones, numerous snapshot photos, 1 balsam fir pillow, 1 Ebden Maine bicentennial coin, 2 state flags, 2 calendars, 1 Whoopee Pie, 1 Moxie Soda (which he loved), 1 can of blueberries, 1 can of herring fillets, 1 box of Maine salt water taffy, 1 CD from Zippy the Decent Docent, and one Maine T-shirt! He received many, many pages of interesting facts that people researched for him and we are so grateful for all the effort people took to help him be successful. Due to your generosity he has received an A grade in Social Studies. We plan to pass on this wealth of information to empower the student who chooses Maine next year. We hope to take a vacation soon to visit your beautiful state and see in person all the towns we have learned so much about. Thank You, David Gothrow & Family Arboga, Calif.

Ironman competitor nears fundraising goal Family members who care for loved ones suffering with Alzheimer’s disease know the journey — its long; it’s hard; and mixed with a lot of emotion. Fear, anger, frustration, and confusion are all part of it. For those caring for the afflicted, the days are long and challenging; a true test of resiliency. Each year, the Alzheimer’s Association honors those living with the disease and their caregivers in a fundraising Better with awareness campaign called the Longest Day. It’s celebrated Age June 21 across the country as a way to raise awareness to a disease that 5 million Americans are living with. This year, the celebration will last longer. Theresa Saxton, owner of Fitness Success in Yarmouth, said her mother was diagnosed with the disease 14 years ago, at the age of 54. Saturday, June 22, Theresa found a fun and unique way to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s. Theresa is doing her own Ironman event. Her vision is to bring the community together. Come out. Get active. Have fun. Raise awareness. And raise money for Alzheimer’s research. She’s set a goal of $16,000. And so far, has raised $6,559. Theresa grew up in Albany, N.Y., where her family still lives today. The youngest of two girls, her family has always been tight knit. Her father, an architect, was an athlete in his youth, but sports injury caused him to hang up the cleats in adulthood. Theresa dis-

covered rowing in high school. She brought home a rowing machine and her dad realized he could be an athlete again. Theresa’s parents attended every rowing event she participated in. They never missed. It brought the whole family together. At home, she, her sister, and her mom would bust each other — there were fun filled food fights in the kitchen, bra snapping, humor, and laughter. That’s how it always was.

Thanksgiving Day. The next day, as the two cleaned up the kitchen, Theresa commented about her mother’s newfound love for roasted garlic. Her mother was adamant that she had never had roasted garlic, to the point of yelling at Theresa. That was the defining moment that something was very wrong; she knew it was Alzheimer’s. Theresa spoke to her father, and the pieces started to add up. Her mother had lost her job as a cashier because she couldn’t run the cash register; and family members had noticed that she had become fearful and angry and just not herself. Next — the question: how to talk about this with her mother? Theresa decided to call their family doctor. Patient confidentiality was raised; she got around it by saying, simply, she had something to tell the doctor; he didn’t need to tell her anything. She told the doctor what the family had noticed; a heads-up that prompted the doctor to ask her a set of questions on her next visit. Her mother was referred to a neurologist, who confirmed; indeed she had Alzheimer’s. It wouldn’t be until around 2005 that the family was able to have a matter-of-fact conversation with Theresa’s mother; who was able accepted the diagnosis. Her mother made three things clear: 1. she didn’t want to be put in a home; 2. she didn’t want to be a burden to the family; 3. she didn’t

want anyone in the family to give up their life for her care. All well and good, you may think, but how is this possible to grant these wishes? As I sit with Theresa, I realize this disease causes families to view life’s purpose differently — to enter, and engage in the journey with a new attitude, where you can savor what’s been, and find joy in where you’re going. I realize that in her journey is genuine her mother’s wishes are being granted. Theresa’s passion for rowing evolved into training, and then into competing in Ironman events. She competed in Lake Placid in 2006, and her parents were there the whole day. She competed again in 2008. This was the
last event that her mother was able to attend. She holds the memory in her heart, and in photograph. On Saturday, June 22, Theresa will run her own Ironman right here in Maine. An ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and then run a 26.2-mile marathon. If that isn’t a long day, then I don’t know what is!! Theresa will start at 6:30 a.m. and expects to finish by 9:30 p.m. It’s a looping event that will involve several loops around Yarmouth, Gray, Freeport, Brunswick, and Falmouth. Her fitness studio in Yarmouth is home base for bathroom, refuel, and the cheering squad — no rest — you eat and drink on the run! While there is no one else who has
committed to do the entire event with her; Theresa is encouraging everyone to come out and participate anyway that they can. Her sister and brotherin-law will be covering home base. At her studio there will be a fanfare; hoola hooping, hopscotch — she hopes that people will stop by, have fun, and make a donation to Alzheimer’s. Of course, she won’t complain if anyone comes out and joins her on any parts of the route — come do whatever you can do! For more information, go to: http:// thelongestday.alzorg/home/team/8904 Today, Theresa’s mother remains at home. Theresa’s father and sister provide all of her mother’s care. Theresa’s mother has been non-verbal for four years, and is, for the most part, confined to a wheelchair. Theresa’s sister is a crafter, and is able to craft as her mom looks on. Theresa’s father has utilized his carpentry talents to modify the house. He cannot imagine life any other way, than caring for his wife. Theresa knows that her mother would be there if she could; but Alzheimer’s has gotten the best of her. We all can make the best of Theresa’s day by supporting her in the grassroots effort any way that we can. (Karen Vachon is a Scarborough resident.

If Patriots have a plan for Tebow, it’s a secret By Tom Pedulla THE NEW YORK TIMES
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bill Belichick smirked when he observed the unusually large news media contingent gathered for the start of the New England Patriots’ three-day minicamp. Belichick’s brief opening statement made no mention of Tim Tebow, the player whose signing was the cause of all the commotion, but he didn’t have to wait long for the subject to come up. Tebow, the N.F.L.’s most famous and polarizing backup quarterback, officially became a member of the Patriots on Tuesday, and the franchise quickly got a taste of the fascination that seems to follow Tebow even when on-field success in the N.F.L. eludes him. “He’s a talented guy, he’s smart, he works hard,” Belichick said numerous times, in response to repeated questions about Tebow and what his role with the Patriots might be. Finally, more than 10 questions into his news conference and with no end to the queries about Tebow in sight, Belichick simply said, “I think we’ve already talked enough about him.” Despite the repeated questions and the crush of news media, Tebow’s arrival at his latest stop stood in stark contrast to the carnival-like atmosphere that surrounded his trade to the Jets before last season. Then, Tebow was asked to give a formal news conference, which was attended by about 200 members of the news media; the scale of the event immediately created the impression that he was in town to claim the starting quarterback job from Mark Sanchez. On Tuesday, instead of a news conference, Tebow spoke for only 32 seconds. He did not take questions. “First and foremost, I want to thank the Patriots for giving me an opportunity,” he said. “I’m very thankful. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” He added: “I look forward to working hard every single day and getting a lot better and learning under some great people. That’s all I got. Thank you all so much and God bless. I’m sure we’ll be talking again soon.” In New England, Tebow, 25, will be reunited with the offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was the
coach of the Denver Broncos three seasons ago when the Broncos drafted Tebow. A year later, with a series of improbable comebacks, Tebow led the team to the playoffs and then to a wild-card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tebow passed for a careerhigh 316 yards and 2 touchdowns in that victory, but he was shut down by New England a week later in a 45-10 loss. He was dealt to the Jets for fourth- and sixth-round draft choices after Denver signed Peyton Manning that off-season. Despite the initial excitement his arrival in New York generated, his season with the Jets was a bust. He did not produce a touchdown, completing just 6 of 8 passes for 39 yards, carrying 32 times for 102 yards and serving as a punt protector. Questions about his role in the Jets’ offense became a distraction, especially as Sanchez struggled and the Jets failed to make the playoffs. There is no question who will be the Patriots’ starting quarterback: Tom Brady, a two-time Super Bowl most valuable player who turns 36 in August. Tebow will wear No. 5 instead of the No. 15 he wore in Denver and New York, because Brady’s backup, Ryan Mallett, has claim to that number. But Belichick has long been an admirer of the spread offense that Tebow ran in college at Florida. There are serious questions about whether Tebow can be an effective N.F.L. quarterback, but Belichick has shown a willingness throughout his career to use players in unorthodox ways. Wide receivers Troy Brown, Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater all played well when pressed into service as defensive backs. The former linebacker Mike Vrabel emerged as a goal-line threat at tight end. “There’s a reason why he’s here,” tight end Aaron Hernandez said of Tebow, his former teammate at Florida. “I actually don’t know the reason yet, but we’ll see. I’m sure he’ll be doing a few things here. That’s up to Bill Belichick.” The former N.F.L. general manager Charley Casserly said Belichick may value the strong and elusive Tebow for his ability to serve as a read-option quarterback since the Patriots lacked that increasingly popular element in practice and games.
Miller hot, Heat not
NBA Finals Game 4 tonight between Spurs, Heat By Ken Levinsky
SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
The San Antonio Spurs host the Miami Heat tonight at 9 p.m. in game four of their best of seven NBA championship finals. The Spurs won game 3 on Tuesday 113-77 and lead the series 2 games to 1. Mike Miller, a key reserve in the Heat’s quest for consecutive NBA titles, made all five of his three-point attempts during game 3 and now has made eight in a row. In fact, since Game 5 of the 2012 Finals against Oklahoma City, Miller is 16 of 18 from three-point range in The Finals, including a memorable 7 of 8 in the clinching game of the 2012 Finals. Miller told the Miami Herald: “You’ve got to be super aggressive. That’s one thing I’ve learned from being here. You’ve got to be super aggressive and that just makes the job easier for everybody else. So me and Ray (Allen) and Shane (Battier), our job is to catch and shoot.” The week after LeBron James announced his decision to join the
Heat, Miller signed as a free agent on July 17, 2010. The 33-year-old, 6-foot, 8-inch, 210-pound forward started 17 games for the Heat this season and was 17th in the league in three point shot accuracy at 42 percent. Miller attended the University of Florida where he was a roommate of Heat teammate Udonis Haslem. The NBA Rookie of the Year in 2000-01, Miller captured the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award in 2005-06. FEARLESS PREDICTION: LeBron James atones for his poor play in game 3. Miami wins game 4 and goes on to repeat as NBA champions. Miami vs. San Antonio Playoff Schedule: Game 1: SAS 92 MIA 88 Game 2: MIA 103 SAS 84 Game 3: SAS 113 MIA 77 Game 4: MIA at SAS | Thu., Jun. 13, 9 PM on ABC Game 5: MIA at SAS | Sun., Jun. 16, 8 PM on ABC Game 6: SAS at MIA | Tue., Jun. 18 | ABC | If Necessary Game 7: SAS at MIA | Thu., Jun. 20 | ABC | If Necessary

Maine State Music Theatre delivers wow with ‘Dreamgirls’
People attend the theatre for many reasons, not the least being to experience that wow factor of a live performance. Maine State Music Theatre opens the season with a production of the Broadway hit DREAMGIRLS, packed with many moments of wow, or should I say WOW factors. Marc Robin directs and choreographs this fast paced ––––– spectacle, bringing together a cast with no weakness. Often Theater in musicals the acting isn’t as Critic high a priority as the music and dance, not so with this production. Dreamgirls is loosely based on the rise of Diana Ross and the Supremes, with a nod to James Brown, incorporating many emotional moments of love and loss. This cast doesn’t miss one moment of exploring the human condition, bringing to the surface characters fully inhabited and nuanced, relishing the raw emotions. Every show has one or two standouts, this had many more. Britney Coleman portrays Deena Jones, the Ms Ross character, with the Dreams group rounded out by Trista Dollison as Lorrell and Bryonha Marie Parham as the incomparable Effie White. All three are at the top of their games and create the heart of this production. Ms Dollison has created the most memorable Lorrell , a bit naive and heart of gold, I dare anyone not to fall instantly in love with her. DREAMGIRLS has a large pitfall though, the show stopper sung by Effie after she is expelled from the group and loses her man to Deena. This song has been made famous by two Jennifers, one winning an Oscar, the other taking home a Tony. Ms Parham effortlessly proves she is ready to stand on that summit as well. (During this moment though, two women in back of me decided a conversation would be in order. You don’t talk during Effie’s solo people!! For that matter, let me remind you this is not a movie and yes, those on stage can you in the audience. If you can’t refrain from opening your mouth during the duration of the play, perhaps you need some work on self containment before attending.) Byron Glenn Willis has the task of playing the hard to like Curtis Taylor Jr, exploring more than just the “bad guy” aspect of this character. Ambition can be ugly, but is it justified when the end result is

success ? Kelvin Roston Jr. is James Thunder Early, the nod to James Brown, and is brilliant. What can’t this man do? Wonderful dancing and singing and most of all , energy. DREAMGIRLS is a technical wonder, created by the use of lights and curtains. Lighting Designer Nick Cyr has created a jaw-dropping evening of spectacle , working with Scenic Designer, Robert Andrew Kovach. Kurt Alger’s costumes are stunning and the many quick changes were impressive. How many times does a costume change get applauses? The night I attended I counted twice, one so quick and flashy the audience collectively gasped with delight. This show had hundreds of costume pieces, jewelry, accessories and wigs, keeping the cast looking stellar. I wish I could say the show was a complete home run, but sound was a major issue for me. This show is mic’d, yet the levels were inconsistent. Many
times the mic came on two words into a song or caused static when two actors were close together. The pit band was tight and fantastic, someone needs to tell them though, they provide underscoring for the action. Many times the music was too loud and overpowering, even though this cast could belt it out. This is a Broadway production with all the bell and whistles with an Equity cast. New York is hot in the Summer, but the Bowdoin campus is a cool oasis for the Musical Theater lover. Maine State Music Theatre performs at the Pickard Theater on the Bowdoin College campus in Brunswick. DREAMGIRLS runs through June 22. Box Office: 725-8769 www.msmt.org I also wish to remind you of the exciting PORTFRINGE 13 theater festival June 24-30. It’ll blow your socks off!

Republican legislator blasted for comment about ‘man’s brain’ Daily Sun Staff Reports
A Republican in the Maine Legislature with a record in human rights was criticized for a comment made Wednesday on the House floor. Minority Leader Ken Fredette, R-Newport, “declared that he and most of his Republican caucus oppose accepting federal funds to expand health care coverage because of a difference in the ways people of different genders think,” noted the Maine People’s Alliance, a progressive group. “He cited the book ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’ and claimed that his ‘man’s brain’ was more concerned with costs while Democrats just want to get things for free,” the group reported. “From the other side of the aisle I
hear the conversation being about ‘free this is free, we need to take it and it’s free and we need to do it now’ and that’s sort of the fundamental message that my brain receives,” said Fredette. “Now, my brain being a man’s brain sort of thinks differently, because I say, well, it’s not if it’s free is it really free because I say in my brain there’s a cost to this.” Maine Rep. Diane Russell, D-Portland, said, “That was the most offensive, sexist and awkwardly painful speech I’ve seen on the floor of the House. I thought it was 2013, not 1813. Apparently, I was wrong.” The Maine People’s Alliance’s Health Care Organizer Jennie Pirkl stated, “This isn’t about women and men; it’s about life and death. Rep. Fredette would probably say that I only think this way because of my ‘woman’s brain’, but I find it incredibly distasteful for him to use offensive, gender-based stereotypes to advance his anti-health care agenda.” Fredette, who was nominated to the
Human Rights Commission by Gov. John Baldacci and approved by the Maine Senate, visited with a group assembled by the United Somali Women of Maine in downtown Lewiston in late April. Think Progress and U.S. News both picked up the story about Fredette’s comments. U.S. News wrote, “Maine Democrats wasted no time in knocking Fredette, who later apologized for the remark.” A clip of his remark is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=vgfzOSpqct8&feature=youtu.be.
Portland Public Library to host E.B. White’s granddaughter for talk The Portland Public Library will host Martha White at the Brown Bag Lecture Series at noon in the Rines Auditorium on Wednesday, June 26 to speak about her new collection of E.B. White’s writing, “E.B. White on Dogs. “
In the book, his granddaughter and manager of his literary estate has compiled the best and funniest of his essays, poems, letters, and sketches depicting over a dozen of White’s various canine companions, according to the library. “Featured here are favorite essays such as ‘Two Letters, Both Open,’ where White takes on the Internal Revenue Service, and also ‘Bedfellows,’ with its ‘fraudulent reports’; from White’s ignoble old dachshund, Fred. (‘I just saw an eagle go by. It was carrying a baby,’),” the library reported. Some previously unpublished photographs from the E. B. White Estate show the family dogs, a press release noted. E.B. White (1899 1985) is best known for his children’s books, “Charlotte’s Web,” “Stuart Little” and “The Trumpet of the Swan.” Columnist for The New Yorker for over half a century and coauthor of Strunk and White’s “The Elements of Style,” White hit his stride as an American literary icon.

NSA leaker vows to fight extradition from Hong Kong By Keith Bradsher THE NEW YORK TIMES
HONG KONG — Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency computer technician who has acknowledged leaking highly classified documents about the United States government’s monitoring of Internet and telephone communications, told a Hong Kong newspaper on Wednesday that he planned to stay in the city and fight extradition. “People who think I made a mistake in picking Hong Kong as a location misunderstand my intentions,” he told the newspaper, The South China Morning Post. “I am not here to hide from justice; I am here to reveal criminality.” He also said the United States’ surveillance program had gained access to hundreds of computers in Hong Kong and China since 2009. “We hack network backbones — like huge Internet routers, basically — that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” the newspaper quoted him as saying. The newspaper did not say where in Hong Kong Mr. Snowden has been hiding since he checked out of a hotel early Monday afternoon. The Guardian newspaper of Britain, with which Mr. Snowden has shared a series of documents, reported Wednesday morning that he had moved to a safe house,
but did not provide details. Mr. Snowden’s decision to stay in Hong Kong came as a person with knowledge of the Hong Kong government’s work on the case said local government lawyers, working with United States government lawyers, had identified several dozen offenses with which Mr. Snowden could be charged under Hong Kong and American laws. The United States and Hong Kong operate under a 1996 bilateral extradition agreement, and any attempt by the United States to extradite Mr. Snowden would have to cite offenses that violate the laws in both countries, are punishable by jail terms of a year or more and meet the terms of that agreement. The person familiar with Hong Kong government efforts, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicate legal and diplomatic aspects of the case, said one of the offenses involves the release of official secrets, which is illegal in Hong Kong and the United States. That offense is covered by a catch-all clause in the extradition agreement, the person said, although some lawyers disagree. Mr. Snowden could delay extradition proceedings by requesting political asylum in Hong Kong. But he will almost certainly be taken into custody and jailed as soon as he filed for asylum, because he would no longer qualify as a visitor to Hong Kong, the person said.

Poland Spring plan taps into activist ire
Fryeburg residents protest proposed Nestle Waters contract with water utility By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
A campaign to stop Nestle Waters of North America from securing a new contract to purchase spring water in Fryeburg under the Poland Spring brand brought a 9-year-old Fryeburg resident and his mother to the Maine Capitol Wednesday to urge Gov. Paul LePage to intervene in the case. Nickie Sekera and her 9-year-old son, Luke Sekera-Flanders, delivered petitions bearing 136,000 signatures protesting the contract, now under review by the Maine Public Utilities Commission. They were joined by activists from Community Water Justice and Food & Water Watch — Maine. On Aug. 10, 2012, the Fryeburg Water Company filed its notice of intent “to enter into a long-term contract for water extraction and lease of utility property with Nestle Waters
of North America,” according to the Maine PUC. Nestle Waters of North America is the parent company since 1987 of Poland Spring, a Maine company which started in 1845. A representative of Poland Spring said Fryeburg Water Co. is the actual entity seeking PUC approval for its proposed contract and said the new contract would provide “long-term certainty.” Opponents worried that the Maine PUC may shrug off public opposition when deciding the case, tentatively this summer. Carrying empty Poland Spring bottles containing flyers summarizing the protest points, Sekera-Flanders strode outside the governor’s office while his mother organized protest signs. In an interview, Sekera-Flanders said, “I’m here to deliver signatures from a petition that has gotten over 135,000 signatures. It’s a pretty exciting day for us.” His letter to the governor read in part, “I hope that you will not be in support of the 45-year contract that might be made between Nestle and the Fryeburg Water Company. It
Doug Bowen of Porter, located south of Fryeburg, represented Community Water Justice at Wednesday’s petition event in Augusta. “We feel really shut out. And we feel very deeply that Nestle’s money and influence is skewing Maine’s state politics and its political establishment,” Bowen said. Advocates for Poland Spring say critics are misportraying the situation, noting that a proposed contract actually creates more rigorous standards for water withdrawal. (DAVID CARKHUFF PHOTO)
would deeply show me that you really care about Maine’s water and its children’s future. My mom and I live in Fryeburg and will be affected by this contract for years to come. As a matter of fact, I will be 54 years old when the contract would expire and I could have a voice in the matter again.” Sekera said they have lived in Fryeburg for five years, “long enough to understand the climate of what’s going on and understand the players involved.” The Fryeburg Water Co. and Nestle/ Poland Springs relationship dates back 16 years, but Sekern said her son’s interest was galvanized by a movie about the bottled water industry. “We watched the movie ‘Tapped’ about a year ago, and I had to pause that film about 25 times during the duration because he had questions and he was getting angry. And I thought, ‘Whoa! This is interesting.’ We do a lot of educational things together, and we explored the topic,” she said. Now, Sekera said they decided it’s time to mobilize against what she called “an exclusive contract for 45 years total,” with “no public input in the extensions and no process outlined.” The Maine PUC held a hearing in Fryeburg, where the consensus from the public was that a shorter-term contract or no contract should be allowed, she said. Sekera said LePage could intervene in a case that otherwise seems predetermined. “It feels like it’s already a done deal, and it’s prescripted,” she said. Mark Dubois, natural resource manager for Poland Spring Water Co., said
the proposed contract offers “longterm certainty” for Fryeburg residents because, unlike the existing contract, which is open-ended, this contract specifies a duration, tentatively a 20-year term with five, five-year renewals. Also, the proposed contract term does not mean the public can’t file complaints, he said. “Anybody who has an issue with a PUC-regulated entity like the Fryeburg Water Co. can file a complaint with the PUC,” Dubois said. “There are avenues for people during the contract term.” The proposal includes rent payments by Nestle Waters of North America to Fryeburg Water Co. of $12,000 a month, a change from the existing contract, which is by the gallon, Dubois said. A minimum purchase of 75 million gallons a year means ratepayers in Fryeburg can count on a certain amount of income, regardless of demand by Nestle, he added. The proposal also allows Fryeburg Water Co. to reduce or suspend sales when deemed necessary, Dubois said. Peter Garrett, senior vice president of Emery & Garrett Groundwater Inc., a New England-based groundwater consulting company, summarized a hydrology study of the Fryeburg aquifer in a 2010 report to town officials. “A numerical computer model of groundwater flow through the aquifer was constructed and calibrated,” Garrett wrote. “It estimated that an average withdrawal of 603,000 gallons per day for bottled water to be trucked out of the watershed was probably acceptable for maintenance of spring flow see WATER page 15

if those minutes are spent in fear. Minutes spent in joy, however, rush by. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll improve on your last outcome. Sure, you’d like to know what it’s like to be the winner over all. But the winner over “self” is by far the most satisfying victory. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Enjoy the pride of ownership you experience while you work today. As you work on this project, you know it’s yours. But the minute you stop working on it because it’s quite finished, it will belong to the world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Play the role in which you were cast if you like it, but don’t believe that just because you were cast, that’s who you are. You’re the artist behind a creation, not the creation itself. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). An incurable optimist, your hopes will come true. The professional challenges you face in July will inspire your best performances to date. Your support system will help you reach an ambitious goal by the end of August. You’ll fly off on adventure in September and later bring loved ones along to share the experience. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 21, 29, 30 and 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You specialize in what others would call “tough situations.” What they don’t know is that you find this work fun and easy. You’ll be praised for your talent, even though you don’t see it as anything extraordinary. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re adaptable, but you don’t stray from your principles. This gives you a confident footing on this uphill climb of a day. These are the kinds of challenges that keep you in shape. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most of the boundaries of the world are unseen, but those who own the territory know where the lines are. You’ll be exploring foreign land in some sense. Ask where the lines are drawn to avoid crossing the wrong boundaries. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be compelled to think carefully through your upcoming schedule. As you picture each thing you will tend to, you will get ideas as to what would make the experience even better. Attention to detail saves the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How do you know whether you’ve made a difference? Simple. Are things different because you are there? If not, you need to speak up, touch people, do something, change something. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being a novice is fun. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy that phase, but don’t let it seduce you. It’s important to be a master, too, which you never get to be if you’re always starting something new. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re feeling free and a little rebellious. You inspire people to try and encourage them to mistakes, knowing that eventually they’ll come up with something good. You will be a channel of creative energy for those who are blocked. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Act on the impulse to make something out of nothing. Don’t hesitate because people around you aren’t moving; they can’t see the opportunity. You see the potential in things that others are blind to. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your emotions will warp the space-time continuum. A few minutes can seem like an eternity

The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Thursday, June 13, 2013— Page 13
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, June 13, the 164th day of 2013. There are 201 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 13, 1983, the U.S. space probe Pioneer 10, launched in 1972, became the first spacecraft to leave the solar system as it crossed the orbit of Neptune. On this date: In 1842, Queen Victoria became the first British monarch to ride on a train, traveling from Slough Railway Station to Paddington in 25 minutes. In 1886, King Ludwig II of Bavaria drowned in Lake Starnberg. In 1927, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City. In 1935, James Braddock claimed the title of world heavyweight boxing champion from Max Baer in a 15-round fight in Long Island City, N.Y. In 1942, the first of two four-man Nazi sabotage teams arrived in the United States during World War II. (The eight were arrested after one of them went to U.S. authorities; six of the saboteurs were executed.) In 1957, the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620, arrived at Plymouth, Mass., after a nearly twomonth journey from England. In 1966, the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that criminal suspects had to be informed of their constitutional right to consult with an attorney and to remain silent. In 1971, The New York Times began publishing excerpts of the Pentagon Papers, a secret study of America’s involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967 that had been leaked to the paper by military analyst Daniel Ellsberg. In 1981, a scare occurred during a parade in London when a teenager fired six blank shots at Queen Elizabeth II. In 1993, Canada’s Progressive Conservative Party chose Defense Minister Kim Campbell to succeed Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) as prime minister; she was the first woman to hold the post. Astronaut Donald K. “Deke” Slayton died in League City, Texas, at age 69. Ten years ago: U.S. forces killed 27 Iraqi fighters after the Iraqis attacked an American tank patrol north of Baghdad. Israel broadened its campaign against Palestinian militants, saying it would strike political as well as military leaders who targeted Israel with terrorism. Hundreds of pro-cleric militants and security forces in Tehran clashed with Iranians throughout the capital. Five years ago: Tim Russert, moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” died suddenly while preparing for his weekly broadcast; he was 58. Rising water from the Cedar River forced the evacuation of a hospital in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa; in Des Moines, officials issued a voluntary evacuation order for much of downtown and other areas bordering the Des Moines River. One year ago: Federal prosecutors dropped all charges against former Democratic vicepresidential candidate John Edwards after his corruption trial ended the previous month in a deadlocked jury. Matt Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in major league history and the first for the Giants, striking out a career-high 14 batters and getting help from two running catches to beat the Houston Astros 10-0.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: About a year ago, I ran into a woman I used to spend time with in high school. We are both married, although she is going through a divorce. Since that day, she and I have been talking quite a bit. We discuss a lot of different things, all on a platonic level. The problem is, I believe I am becoming infatuated with her again. I had a thing for her throughout high school but never had the courage to ask her out, probably because I was too afraid to lose our friendship. I am now in a situation where I won’t be home for a few months. I know I will miss her communication. I feel I’m doing something wrong. Is this normal? Do I need to just keep my distance and cease contact? -- Back in High School Dear Back: You recognize that you are “becoming” infatuated (we think you are already there) and will miss this woman’s communication. The fact that she is going through a divorce also puts you in an awkward position, because she may lean on you for comfort, and when she becomes available, you will find her hard to resist. Please back far, far away before you find yourself enmeshed in an affair, whether emotional or physical. If your marriage needs revitalizing, work on it. Consider how your wife would feel if she found out how close you are to this other woman. How would you feel if she did this to you? You are playing with fire. Stop. Dear Annie: This summer, I have my concert tickets ordered and am excited to see some of my favorite performers on stage. However, I’m unsure of proper etiquette after a problem I encountered last year. I went to a country concert, which meant plenty of beer and dancing. The problem was, as soon as the audience stood up, the people directly behind me started yelling at my friend and me to sit down. We did, but we couldn’t see a thing because of
the dozens of rows of people standing in front of us. We stood back up, only to be yelled at again. I turned around and explained that everyone else was standing and they should do the same. They were angry and continued to yell throughout the concert. After the concert, they sarcastically thanked us for ruining their night. What is the right way to handle people like this? Should I sit and see nothing because misery loves company? -- Juliana Dear Juliana: Concerts have evolved into two basic types: The formal concert, where everyone sits, and the informal concert, where people often stand. Once the people in the rows ahead of you get up, you need to do the same in order to see. We have advised people who attend such concerts to try to get seats in the front row or first-row balcony if they want their view unobstructed. Those who are in wheelchairs often find there is a handicapped section, although it may be necessary to find an usher and inquire. It is unrealistic at informal events to expect hundreds of other people to sit down for your convenience. If this happens again, apologize to the people behind you and suggest that they, too, stand up or move closer to the aisle for a better view. You are not obligated to sit if the people in front of you are standing. Dear Annie: “An Anxious Mom” was reluctant to give money from her late husband’s will to her 58-year-old unemployed son who is living on his veterans benefits. One of your suggestions was to put the money in a trust. Please suggest she check into creating a Special Needs Trust for her son. If she gives the money directly to him, he will probably spend it very quickly, but he could also lose his VA benefits. She will need to consult a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters. -- M.

‘We have to be a sustainable operation. We cannot dry up that spring’ WATER from page 10
and healthy streamflow, even during dry years,” but added that “a certain measure of doubt is inherent in the above statement. It is for that reason that we urged that flow in (Wards Brook) be measured routinely.” Dubois said Nestle Waters takes less than half of the “sustainable withdrawal” as gauged by the 2005 Emery & Garrett hydrology study. Sekera said she’s aware of the hydrology study, but added, “There’s some concerns about that report. Granted, we’re basing a 45-year contract on a study that was done in 2005, there’s been large-scale extractions since that period.” More broadly, she linked Nestle Waters to other multinational corporations — with annual revenues of approximately $4.2 billion in 2011, Nestle Waters describes itself as the top bottled-water company in the United States. “When you talk about water and Nestle, our con-
cern is now about a multinational corporation and their business practices worldwide, I think everybody in Maine should be paying attention to this very closely, especially engaging in such a long-term contract,” Sekera said. Sekera admitted that many people in Maine don’t follow the bottled-water issue. “We are barely a blip on the radar screen on the water issues,” she said, adding, “Nestle is working completely underground.” Sekera said publicity about a large corporation that has generated controversy for its genetically modified crops, Monsanto, could translate to attention to Nestle. “There’s a lot going on with Monsanto, it’s really excellent to see this education coming forth and people mobilizing, and I’m thinking, ‘That could be water,’” she said. Dubois said Nestle Waters has no incentive to harm the Fryeburg Water Co.-owned Evergreen Spring (the company also taps Cold Spring in Den-

mark, which is pumped from a station in East Fryeburg). “We have to be a sustainable operation. We cannot dry up that spring,” Dubois said. Doug Bowen of Porter, located south of Fryeburg, represented Community Water Justice at Wednesday’s petition event in Augusta. Bowen asserted that members of the Maine PUC come from a background of working for Nestle, and noted that only one member in that situation has recused himself. Commissioner Mark Vannoy, who worked at Wright Pierce construction firm in Topsham, previously performed contractual services for Nestle Waters of North America, Inc., and he recused himself from the proceedings, according to the Maine PUC. Chairman Thomas Welch, in an October 2012 memo, decided to remain involved in the case. He wrote, “During 2007 and 2008, while an attorney working at Pierce Atwood, LLP, I was one of several attorneys advising Nestle Waters North America, Inc. concerning the reorganization of the Fryeburg Water Company ultimately approved by the Commission on March 18, 2008 in Docket No. 2008-52. My principal role in that case was to advise concerning how best to present the issues in that reorganization to the Commission. During the period 2008 through the end of my employment at Pierce Atwood in March of 2011, I provided advice from time to time on Nestle matters, but other than Docket No. 2008-52, I do not recall any matter in which I was personally and substantially involved on behalf of Nestle.” Commissioner David Littell, who also stayed involved in the case, wrote, “From September, 1992 to November, 2003, I was an attorney working at Pierce Atwood, LLP and a partner there from January 2000 until November, 2003. I completely severed my ties with my ex-firm when I left in 2003. During my tenure at Pierce Atwood, I was not personally and substantially involved in any matters related to Nestle Water North American, Inc. and the Fryeburg Water Company.” Bowen criticized an incredibly complex process” that would defy public understanding, and said, “The Public Utilities Commission does not allow environmental concerns, sustainability concerns or climate change concerns to enter their discussion at all.” “We feel really shut out. And we feel very deeply that Nestle’s money and influence is skewing Maine’s state politics and its political establishment,” Bowen said. Sekera-Flanders said he has talked to classmates about the bottled-water issue, but not all have become converts. “I can’t believe it, a lot of them are always drinking Poland Spring bottled water, they say, ‘Poland Spring is good, blah, blah, blah.’”

Reinterpreting images shared through the media landscape has been an artistic approach since the mid-20th century, and the artist of Spindleworks are no exception. From Kevin Babine’s large scale works on paper featuring an array of cinematic history, to Melissa Capuano’s portraits of television show characters and Kelly Weingart’s sculptural renditions of Pez characters, KAPOW explores new iterations of seemingly familiar icons.

Riverbank Shakespeare Festival
5:30 p.m. “After a one-year absence, Acorn Productions once again offers area residents a chance to see live Shakespeare in downtown Westbrook’s pastoral Riverbank Pank, located along the Presumpscot River on Main Street. This year’s Riverbank Shakespeare Festival features two productions: ‘The War of the Roses,’ directed by Michael Levine, and ‘The Tempest,’ directed by Karen Ball and featuring the teen actors in Acorn’s Young Actors Shakespeare Conservatory. Due to their length and inordinately large casting demands, Shakespeare’s three parts of Henry VI are rarely performed; thus Acorn’s production offers audiences a rare opportunity to see several of Shakespeare’s earliest hits compiled into one full-length play full of political intrigue, swordfights, backstabbing, and some of England’s most exciting history. ‘The Tempest,’ often credited with being Shakespeare’s last complete work solely authored by him, revolves around the deposed Duke of Milan’s efforts to regain his kingdom through his command of magical spirits who live on the enchanted island to which he was banished. Both productions, comprising the Riverbank Shakespeare Festival, are free; there is a $10 suggested donation. Audiences are welcome to set up picnic chairs and enjoy the ambience a half-hour before the shows begin.” The Riverbank Shakespeare Festival, Acorn Productions, Riverbank Park, Main Street, Westbrook.

‘The Freaks Club’ at Snowlion
8 p.m. “A girl with fish-scale skin, a boy who cannot touch, a friend who sees only shadows. ... The Freaks Club is the funny, touching new musical where ‘fish’ turns to ‘dish,’ dreams become nightmares, and what is lost is the key to finding what really matters. Snowlion Repertory Company, known for bringing new musicals to the Maine stage, announces the world premiere of The Freaks Club by Thomas Adams (cobook, music) and MK Wolfe (co-book, lyrics). ‘The Freaks Club’ has been workshopped in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Stamford, Conn., and now the world premiere production is being staged at the Studio Theater at Portland Stage opening Friday, June 14. The Freaks Club tells the story of Anna, a girl with fish-scale skin who travels to a remote island community in search of a cure, humorously bonding with other ‘freaks’ in the process — blind Cookie, emotionally damaged Jake, and incurable geek Skunk. After Anna’s successful treatment (transforming her from ‘fish’ to ‘dish’!) her dream-come-true turns into a nightmare, and Anna must discover a way back to her own true face. The story touches on important issues such as school bullying and teenage angst while telling an almost fable-like tale of loss and redemption. ... Performances of The Freaks Club begin Thursday, June 13 with a special open dress preview. The show opens Friday, June 14 and runs through Sunday, June 23. Performances are Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., for a total of 10 performances, closing on June 23.

Joy of Joyce embraced during Bloomsday events By Timothy Gillis
SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The American Irish Repertory Ensemble has planned events for each day leading up to this Sunday, June 16, known as Bloomsday, the day on which the events of the novel take place. The day is named for the novel’s hero, Leopold Bloom, and it inspires celebrations in Dublin and around the world. On Monday, Seanachie Nights held a special reading, with Lynne Cullen telling Irish folk tales, Sebastian Lockwood reading the “Anna Livia Plurabelle” episode from “Finnegans Wake,” and Janet Lynch performing a rousing rendition on the “Penelope” episode of “Ulysses,” becoming for a time Molly Bloom, Leopold’s wife in the final chapter of the epic story. Cullen, a local storyteller, artist, and playwright, created Seanachie Nights, which meets the third Monday of every month at Bull Feeney’s, upstairs in the Yeats’ Room. Lockwood is a storyteller who specializes in the epics and recently recorded audiobooks with his bassy brogue. Lynch has an upcoming performance as Molly in “Love’s Old Sweet Song” as part of the PortFringe 2013 Festival. The show will include the material she performed Monday, plus a previous scene featuring additional text from Joyce interwoven with period songs. The one performance of “Love’s Old Sweet Song,” will be on Wednesday, June 26, at 7 p.m. at the Studio Theater of Portland Stage. On Tuesday night, Port Veritas, a local slam poetry troupe, opened their stage to readings dedicated to James Joyce. After the open mic, Nate Amadon read from “Two Gallants,” a story from Joyce’s “Dubliners.” John McVeigh read what he called a “Joyce sandwich,” reworkings from the Irish writer’s lines, and Jim Donnelly, of Lowry’s Lodge poetry reading in Westbrook, read from Joyce’s “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.” AIRE representatives then read from the “Nausicaa,” episode of “Ulysses,” the infamous section that helped get the book banned in the
United States in 1922. Twelve years later, a Supreme Court decision overturned the ban and made the book legally available. Susan Reilly, managing director of AIRE since its inception in 2004, was joined by AIRE and Maine Irish Heritage Center member Ellen Murphy in reading the controversial episode, in which Joyce mocks the romantic genre of writing and has Bloom and Gerty McDowell participate in what Reilly called “Immaculate Ejaculation.” “Our aim is to make it accessible for people who have never read the book, have no intention of doing so, but want to talk about it at cocktail parties,” Reilly said of AIRE’s efforts this week. “We are trying to find narrative pieces from the book to help tell the story.” On Wednesday, AIRE performed “Ulysses for Beginners,” a rollicking performance piece that used scenes, songs, slides and humor to explain the story line of “Ulysses” in one hour. The cast included Harlan Baker, Paul Haley, Tara McCannell, Susan and Tom Reilly and Ben Row. On Thursday, Joyce fans can continue to imbibe to the brim with a viewing of “Bloom,” a 2003 Irish film based on “Ulysses” starring Stephen Rea as Leopold Bloom. It will be screened at 6:30 p.m. at the Portland Public Library. University of Southern Maine professor Francis McGrath will talk about “Ulysses” on film. “I will give a brief introduction before film, and then have a conversation afterwards,” McGrath said. “The cross-references and allusions get sort of somewhat lost. It would be hard to follow those in a film. To me, the main challenge for a filmmaker is that most of Joyce’s novels happen inside someone’s head. They do things in the external world, but you only know that through what they’re thinking. For someone coming to film without much knowledge of Joyce or “Ulysses,” the film is still accessible to him or her. Reilly said the Joyce celebration has grown in each of the four years that AIRE has sponsored it. “Since we started it several years ago, it’s been expanding,” she said. “Most people don’t go to everything,

but more and more people are going to something.” On Friday, June 14, McGrath will host a one-hour discussion called “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Ulysses but Were Afraid to Ask.” The talk starts at noon in meeting room 5 of the Portland Public Library. “I have no idea how that will go,” McGrath said. “I will be completely winging it. It’s hard to judge what kind of audience you will have beforehand. You have no idea how familiar they are with the text.” In addition to “Ulysses,” Joyce’s “Finnegans Wake” and “Portrait of the Artist” are also regularly ranked in the top ten greatest novels ever written. His work also rates as the least read and/or most difficult to read. The Bloomsday events can help the novice break through the intimidating texts and realize some of the beautiful language he employed to earn their status. “Joyce had a fantastic ear. He really
wrote for the ear,” McGrath said. “The later works of Joyce need to be read vertically. Every word has a number of associations with it. You’re interrupted from reading horizontally in “Finnegans Wake,” especially. References to Irish places, myths, characters – all the characters are layered on top of each other and are one character. A word is never singular in meaning.” Round out your Joyce week with “A Party for Mr. Joyce,” at the Maine Irish Heritage Center on Saturday, June 15. It will include a trivia contest, costume competition, music, and refreshments, and will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The party takes to the streets for “Poldy’s Perambulation,” a Bloomsday Walk from the Maine Irish Heritage Center to various spots in downtown Portland, including Brian Boru, RiRa, Bull Feeney’s, Longfellow Books, and the Portland Public Library, with excerpts from “Ulysses” read by AIRE actors at each location.
