Dad and the rotten orange incident

Sitting in my middle school French class, I noticed someone was missing. George, one of my best friends, wasn’t there. When our teacher arrived, she delivered bad news. George would be absent because his father had died of a heart attack.

Even for obnoxious adolescents, the news was sobering. When George returned the next week, we skirted around him as if walking on eggshells; no one was sure of what to say. Seeing George there, I tried to imagine what life would be like without my father. Would I wear the same lost look as my friend? I couldn’t fathom any of it.

My father was a disciplinarian, a no-nonsense World War II fighter pilot who had survived going down with his plane to live another day. Yet he never overcame the wounds to his psyche as well as he had those to his body. If ever there was a man who fit the cliché of shootFrom the ing first and asking questions later, especially in terms of his Stacks child rearing, Dad had to be that guy.

He demanded excellence and rarely recognized it in his three children because, in his own words, it was expected. But Dad had rare moments when his humanity was on parade, if only for a glimpse.

A few years earlier, I was hanging out with some neighborhood friends on a summer afternoon,

Immigration reform: More like class-action plea bargaining Ah, you have to love the classics.

Who knew that the national political discourse was gonna sound like Rewind 100.9 FM? But with Congress these days you half expect CNN to give way to Bill Murray reporting live from GroundhogDay.com News.

There are many examples. Serious gun control legislation is the “Born To Run” of the oldies issues playlist and overhauling the education system is like a Jim Croce archive, but my favorite re-boot is a sort of Sweet Home Alabama sing-along that we all call “comprehensive immigration reform.”

This time it once seemed possible, even likely.

But lately the headlines seem like the issue will get kicked down the road again.

Of course, iimmigration reform advocates can seem like Charlie Brown running at that football, convinced this time that foot will meet pigskin. It is the sort of triumph of hope over experience usually reserved for third marriages and election of firstterm U.S. Senators to the White House.

Let’s ramble into the massive Daily Sun archives and pick something from the Greatest Hits.

Here’s a good little ditty from this column, just a few years back: “It didn’t exactly dominate page one headlines, but we passed a political milestone of sorts this week: The first 2010-focused grassroots rally event ... ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’ was the topic as organizers explained that ‘... thousands of activists, families, freinds and neighbors across Maine will gather for a nationwide tele-town hall event that will continue the momentum for com-

prehensive immigration reform legislation in 2010.’” They were looking for something like 850 House Parties to illustrate support for the legislation.

––––– House parties? So CIR is the house music of the oldies issues?

Usually Who knew?

Reserved You may recall that the 2010 comeback tour came after Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, who indicated that the White House is ready to tackle the issue in 2010. I forget why she was discussing the issue, but maybe it had to do with needing more help in the then-secret phone-call collection effort.

But immigration is always an interesting issue for Mainers, who you might recall require a few generations just to move from the “From Away” status to neo-native.

The current re-boot has a few new twists, not the least of which is that Republicans took a beating in recent elections among Latino voters. That prompted some among the GOP elite to embrace immigration reform while others wondered why the Grand Old Party would embrace the idea of 11 or 12 million new voters among an historically Democratic demographic.

The resulting re-mix sounds like the “path to citizenship” could take more than a decade, involve paying a fine of something like $2,000, addressing any back taxes and various jumps through other hoops. And, of course, for those living “off the grid” you have to wonder if that’s a good deal.

Everything moved in slow motion as we heard the splat of wayward citrus HALKIAS from page 4

fresh out of things to do and ripe for mischief. The street was lined with orange trees, and one of our favorite pastimes was to have fights with rotten fruit that ended up on the sidewalk.

That day there happened to be a few lying around, but our minds were in overdrive. One of my buddies noticed that across the street, Mrs. K’s bedroom window was open. Notorious for her afternoon naps, she would rant at kids making noise outside her house during those sacrosanct hours.

It’s as if the Devil had tempted us to prove our manhood — at age 10.

Needing few words and just grins, winks and nods, all the guys rounded up a few rotten oranges and prepared to launch.

On someone’s command, the battery let loose its broadside. The dripping, rancid missiles boomed into their trajectories. Everything moved in slow motion as we heard the splat of wayward citrus pounding the side of Mrs. K’s house. Then what we all waited for: A few oranges sailed through the open window, and into her siesta.

What we failed to account for was the shriek that followed, scattering us to all ends of the neighborhood. I ran to our home’s boiler room. It didn’t take long for the initial clamor to turn into a posse of parents hunting down their felonious sons. Only then did I realize: Dad is gonna whup me something good.

I hid until dark, then with a deep sigh extricated myself and went up into the house to meet my fate. I was toast. Hearing the door open and my

familiar shuffle, Dad barked out a summons. Certain death waited.

Yet instead of having me post before him like a condemned man facing a firing squad, he told me to sit down.

Much to my bewilderment, he lectured me, imposed a non-corporal punishment, and sent me off.

I froze.

Perhaps Dad sensed my reluctance to turn my back to him, just in case a swat was coming to the back of my head. So he put out his hand, stroked my tousled hair, and said: “You did a real stupid thing today; it doesn’t mean you have to do it tomorrow.”

In our senior year of high school, I finally gathered enough nerve to ask George about his father’s death. He told me his one regret was not hugging his dad one last time. That evening, when I got home from soccer practice, I interrupted my father’s horse race handicapping by locking him a big embrace. Always the tough guy, he looked up at me quizzically as I left the living room laughing.

Dad died when I was 36. For all our differences, I suspect I wore a lost look afterwards. Now in middle age, if clashing with my own son, I resurrect that moment after the rotten orange incident.

And when I do something stupid — which still happens — I wish my father were here to reassure me that tomorrow brings a chance for something better.

Maybe we can return to that wonderful ballad ‘Hope and Change’ one more time ROBINSON from page 4

I don’t think it’s meant to be. I think it’s time to stop thinking of this as “amnesty” or even “reform” and see it for what it is: The nation’s first classaction plea bargain.

It makes brutal sense.

After all, the core issue here is that all these millions of folks are here illegally. From that core, we have all kinds of sub-sets, like having American children and longtime service to the community and crimes both petty and less so.

So they committed an illegal act. So did half the big brains on Wall Street and we decided to let that slide; if a bank can be “too big to fail” in our economy, can we afford to ignore the failure to deal with more than 10 million of our neighbors?

Are they not somehow in the “too big” category?

At the end of the day, this time around, immigration reform actually has a better chance than previous efforts. The political climate has changed, and serious GOP leadership

is on board. They will face primary battles, but they are focused on the national discussion.

And as we noted in 2010, and have little reason to amend, “The Obama Administration has shown a willingness to drop the sharp edges from issues — health care sans universal coverage, employment regulation sans the Union-friendly card-check provisions and so on. So maybe a compromised bill will be the final answer.”

So maybe we can return to that wonderful ballad “Hope and Change” one more time, because the fact is that a lot of issues never pass until they do; just ask the same-sex marriage advocates or the medical marijuana supporters.

In radio, they say listeners “don’t know what they like, but they like what they know.”

We know these classic issues by heart. They speak to our innter Charlie Brown, and that football just seems so very, very close.

damn what a local columnist in the willywhacks thinks about what happens in the formerly smoke filled rooms of an allegedly smoke-free DC. We care, a LOT. Given the scandal-du-jour nature of the news cycle over the last few weeks, it shouldn’t come as any big surprise to anyone that The Foggy Bottom Not-Quite-ReadyFor-Primetime Players got caught with their pants around their ankles once again.

Listening in to private conversations? Oh, NO, we’d NEVER do that ... except back in 2008 when they got caught doing it to servicemen overseas, calling home to chat with their spouses.

Going through private email? Perish the thought, never without a warrant we’re told. They were hoping everyone forgot the initial trigger to the investigation of Eliot Spitzer was suspicious bank transfers, thinking at the time they were connected to hiding or laundering bribe money. Turns out, it was just hookers.

Back in 2006, the Maine Civil Liberties Union found out that the FBI had surveillance and wiretaps on both the Maine Veterans for Peace and the Maine Peace and Justice Center. Her quote at the time, “Spying on innocent Americans has a chilling effect on free speech,” said Shenna Bellows, executive director of the MCLU. Though several other bloggers at the MCLU site have taken a whack at it, as of Tuesday afternoon all we hear are crickets ... or is that static (or something else) on the line?

Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski opined this week that over the summer there would be plenty of hearings, calling into question how a man who, in her words “failed to make it through community college” came to control classified information.

answer that. He could obviously do things with a keyboard that her staffers couldn’t explain to her in a solid month of hearings. Some folks lack the patience for thirty credit hours (and thousands of dollars in debt) for a certificate that a Tabula in senator thinks might qualify them Naufragio for a job at the fry counter.

All week, I’ve been waiting for the shoe to drop, for the accusation that THIS link was politically motivated. Note the crickets from the above paragraph.

At some point, we are all going to have to sit down and give this a good think. At what point does an investigation and a data harvest become an intrusion? At what point is that line crossed between privacy and an ever expanding Government interested in reading your emails and google searches for a collective good?

I hate that term, the collective. I shudder every damned time I hear it, and now the arrogant (unprintables) have me using it in print. Those that think I may have slipped over the edge on this issue want to talk about how they really do need a warrant, and how a FISA court needs to examine their request for probable cause.

Here is the thing. HOW MANY “FISA” court warrants were turned down last year? Sorry, they can’t tell you, that too is “classified.” We’ve stepped into the land beyond the looking glass, or at least recognized that we stepped into it long ago, and can’t find anywhere to wipe off our shoes.

The reality that “FISA” courts are a mixture of bring-your-own-kangaroo courts and rubber stamp mills seems to finally be catching some traction.

The problem is, it’s too late. “It can’t happen here” we were told ... but it already did.

Violence against women — here

If a sexual assault can take place at ten-thirty in the morning in a parking lot on Baxter Boulevard with people all around, it can happen anywhere at any time. That’s the first thought that occurred to people when they heard the news. Somehow we thought we were exempt.

That this kind of thing happens in other places, but not here. Now we know different.

Well, it’s more accurate to say that now more of us know different. There’s been a good number of people who have been sounding the alarm right along but the rest of us have been tuning them out.

Now we feel sheepish, and ought to.

This past Valentine’s Day, appropriately enough, there was a rally held in Portland to help raise public awareness of the level of violence against women that exists in Maine. Honestly, while any level of violence against women is too high, I had assumed that there was less of a problem in Maine than elsewhere. Not so. One of the rally participants, Whitley Newman, of Portland, pointed out that while Maine is generally regarded as being a safe place, the reality is that we have the third highest domestic abuse rate against women in the country.

So much for assumptions.

It’s also true that a high rate of domestic abuse correlates with a high rate of rape. Rape is a crime we tend to think of as being perpetrated by strangers lying in wait in back alleys, but the truth is that 75 percent of females who are raped say that their assailant was someone they knew. That might have something to do with the fact that only an estimated 16 percent of rapes are reported, and that 60 percent of rapes occur before the victim is 16 years of age.

Very interesting that it takes a highly public incident like the one that recently occurred to bring attention to a crime that is predominately committed out of the limelight, under circumstances where the victim is reluctant to identify their assailant.

The distressing fact is that the first reaction to news of a rape is often that the female was probably some-

where where she shouldn’t have been, or was with someone she should have known better not to be. That she somehow invited the assault.

Only in fairly modern history has society made any degree of progress in shifting the responsibility for violence against females from the victim to the assailant, where it legitimately belongs. It wasn’t until the early twentieth century, in fact, some two generations after the abolition of slavery, that laws supporting a man’s right to beat a “misbehaving” woman began to change.

Until that time, laws in this country with regards to violence against women pretty much reflected those under English common law, which regarded violence against women as being a private matter. A man, for instance, was free to beat his wife “with a rod no thicker than his thumb.” Therefore the expression “Rule of Thumb.”

We shake our heads at such things, but the terrible truth is that violence against females continues to be very much a part of everyday life in modern times.

According to the recent Maine Crime Victimization Survey conducted by Muskie School of Public Service, located at the University of Southern Maine, nearly one out of three females in the state have been victims of sexual assault during their lifetime.

That’s a staggering statistic, when you consider what we’re talking about here. It means that in our supposedly civilized society a significant proportion of our citizens have every reason to be deeply concerned about their basic safety. And incidents like the one that recently occurred on Baxter Boulevard are reminders that the threat is always present, regardless of time or place.

This concerns every one of us. For the past thirtytwo years there’s been a rally held in Portland called “Take Back The Night.” I have to acknowledge that I haven’t taken it as seriously as I should have. Hasn’t been my issue. My attitude has been that sure, it would be nice if women could walk the streets at night with the same degree of safety that men can,

Cliff Gallant –––––

Daily Sun Columnist

but it’s not surprising that they can’t, and there are other more compelling issues to be concerned about.

Wrong all around. It’s not just about women being able to walk alone on city streets at night, and there really is no more compelling issue than the rate of violence against women.

The theme of this year’s rally, which took place in April, was “It takes a community to stop rape, to allow rape, to heal ... what have YOU done?” They gathered in Monument Square, walked through the Old Port, then returned to Monument Square, where survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones shared their experiences.

It’s through events like “Take Back The Night” that women and girls learn that what has happened to them is assault, and that assault is a crime for which the perpetrator must be punished. Understanding that they in no way deserve what happened to them, and that they are victims of a crime that must be reported, is an important step towards victims of sexual assault taking back their lives.

There’s a fantastic organization in town called “Maine Boys to Men” that is working to address the problem from the other side of the equation. On their website, the organization says that boys need to be valued for who they are without regard to cultural stereotypes of masculinity and gender roles.

Through the efforts of the organization, boys have the opportunity to develop into healthy men, supported by adult mentors who model healthy masculinity and respectful, nonviolent relationships. If you want to help out, you can google the organization and volunteer in some capacity, or you can send a check to Maine Men to Boys, 565 Congress Street, Portland, 04101.

Maine has the third highest domestic abuse rate in the country, and about a third of the females in the state have been sexually assaulted. Wow, who knew. Each one of us has to ask ourselves what we can do about the situation. We really, really do.

Legislation affecting zoning changes in rural areas welcomed by reader

Editor, In 2008, less than 1 percent of Maine citizens — all residents of rural Maine — lost a right still enjoyed

by more than 99 percent of our fellow Mainers.

On June 6, a bi-partisan majority of the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee voted in support of a bill that paves the way for the restoration of that right.

LD616 is a measure brought by the residents of five western Maine communities:

We’ve asked the Legislature to reinstate our ability to take part in the decision-making process concerning any zoning changes in our communities. This basic right is still retained by almost every other Maine citizen — everyone who lives in an organized town and all those living in unorganized townships which are outside a specific area called the Expedited Permitting Area.

LD616 also has an amendment which would create a process in which other disenfranchised Mainers could petition LUPC for removal from the EPA so that they, too, can have an equal say in the future direction of their home towns. We’re enormously pleased to see legislators from both sides of the aisle supporting this “citizens’ rights” measure.

For more than five years, a small segment of Maine’s population has dealt with the hardships that come with inequality and loss of rights. It is our hope that the full House and Senate will follow the lead of the EUT Committee and support restoring rural Mainer’s rights by voting in favor of LD616.

Glenburn teen died from asphyxia, state medical examiner says Daily Sun Staff Reports The State Medical Examiner’s Office has released the cause of death of Nichole Cable, the 15-year-old girl from Glenburn who was the subject of a missing-person investigation before her body was found in the woods about 9:30 p.m. Monday, May 20, by the Maine Warden Service.

Cable died from “asphyxia due to compression of the neck,” according to Dr. Margaret Greenwald, the Cable state’s chief medical examiner. Greenwald released her findings Thursday after consulting with the State Police crime lab, which has been reviewing evidence in the case, police said.

Kyle Dube, 20, of Orono has been charged with murder in connection with Cable’s death. Cable had been reported missing from 25 Spruce Lane, Glenburn, since May 12 sometime after 9 p.m. Last contact was a text to a friend at 9:18 p.m. on that day, Maine State Police reported.

U.S. Rep. Michaud announces he will explore run for Maine governor Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud announced Thursday that’s he’s going to begin exploring whether or not he’ll run for governor in 2014. “... I’m forming an exploratory committee to try gauge the depth support for a possible campaign to be your next governor,” Michaud said, in a video posted on a newly created website.

Michaud said, in the video, he’s been asked to consider a run for governor by people from across Maine and from all Michaud ends of the political spectrum. He said he’s listened to them and heard their frustrations about the lack of real leadership in Augusta.

During the next few months, Michaud said he intends on continu-

ing to talk with Mainers and get their input.

Michaud said the stakes are high in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

“We need a governor who can store civility in Augusta while treating everyone with dignity and respect,” he said.

Pair of inmates charged in jailhouse assault Officials announced Heidi Stevens, 39, and Crystal Miller, 26, both of Portland, face charges of unlawful sexual contact and assault after the two female inmates were accused of assaulting another female inmate looking for drugs.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office investigated the assault that took place at approxiMiller mately 11:15 a.m. on June 8, in the Cumberland County Jail. The inmate was lured into a cell in the pod where the assault took place, the sheriff’s office reported. The Cumberland County Stevens Sheriff’s Office does not have reason to believe that the victim had any drugs in her possession at the time or that this has been an ongoing issue, a press release stated.

Corrections staff took immediate action by removing the victim from the unit after a corrections officer was informed by another inmate of the assault. The two suspects were removed from the pod and placed in the Maximum Security Unit, the sheriff reported.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division Detective John Fournier investigated the incident and presented his investigative findings to the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office on June 11. The prosecution decision was made in this matter to charge the suspects. Miller and Stevens were arraigned on Wednesday June 12, in Portland Unified Court and remain in the Cumberland County Jail.

Fireworks show at Hadlock rescheduled Thursday’s post-game fireworks show at Hadlock Field was postponed due to the threat of high winds from

an approaching weather system, the Portland Sea Dogs baseball organization reported.

The fireworks show has been rescheduled for Friday, Aug. 9 when the Sea Dogs host the Bowie Baysox.

Game time has been changed from a 7 p.m. to a 6 p.m. start. The Sea Dogs welcome the Akron Aeros (Indians) to town for a three-game weekend series kicking-off with a 7 p.m. contest Friday night at Hadlock Field. Tickets are available at 879-9500 or online at www.seadogs.com.

Police arrest suspect in Old Port stabbing Police have charged one man in connection with a stabbing in the Old Port. Portland Police reported that 23-year-old Christopher Johnson of Portland was taken into custody Wednesday at police headquarters.

He is charged with elevated aggravated assault for the stabbing of a 22-year-old Portland man during an altercation on June 7 in the area of Fore Street and Wharf Street.

The victim, who was stabbed multiple times, has now been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, police said. Detectives identified Johnson following interviews with witnesses and after reviewing video provided by an area bar, according to police.

Johnson is being held at Cumberland County Jail and was scheduled to be arraigned during his first court appearance Friday.

Portland Adult Education to move out of West School Portland Adult Education will move classes and offices out of West School on Douglass Street over the summer, the Portland Public Schools announced Thursday.

Friends of Portland Adult Education, a nonprofit group that supports PAE, is launching an effort to work with the city and the Portland Public Schools to find a permanent, stand-alone building that could house PAE’s classes and offices and serve as an adult learning center for the city. “Our academic, job skills and enrichment classes benefit more than 4,000 area residents each year, and the program provides economic benefits to the city by training new workers,” said PAE Director Robert Wood. “We are asking the community to help us find an appropriate, sustainable, long-term home for Portland Adult Education.”

PAE has used space at two locations that also house other district programs — Riverton Elementary School and West School. During the winter, West School’s boiler failed and the district had to rent a boiler that sat on a flatbed truck outside the building. The school’s roof has outlived its life expectancy and it leaks in several places.

Odokara-Okigbo brings ‘Dreams’ to Merrill

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Michael Odokara-Okigbo cannot wait to hit the stage this Sunday.

The 2008 Waynflete graduate went on to Dartmouth where he found fame on the TV show “The Sing-Off,” finishing second with his group, the Dartmouth Aires, during season three of the musical talent contest.

This Sunday, he returns home to perform with North Shore Acappella, also a hit from the TV show, the local performing groups Zemya, and the Boy Singers of Maine in a benefit concert at Merrill Auditorium, titled, “A Celebration of Dreams.”

“It’s ridiculous,” he said when asked about his upcoming performance. “I’m 23 years

old, and I just can’t believe I’m performing at Merrill. I remember going there when I was 12 years old and thinking what a beautiful venue it is. People from all over the world perform there. I’m also excited that I will be premiering a few of the songs from my new EP.” Odokara-Okigbo is host of the concert, and will perform with each of the three groups. North Shore Acappella is a funny, charismatic quintet that had been performing for more than 30 years. “Every performance is arranged in a way that showcases each singer in a lead role — a trait that very few acappella groups in the country

Portland-raised musical talent Michael Odokara-Okigbo founded the Mugadi Foundation, which works to improve education and living conditions for underprivileged children in developing nations. He will perform Sunday in Merrill Auditorium. (COURTESY PHOTO)

So he took photographs of people with HIV and AIDS and created a photo exhibit for his high school. “That work led to creating the foundation to help these kids with books for school and other needs,” he said.

Later on, he created another photo exhibit, this time of children he photographed in India. The exhibition was shown at Dartmouth, where he earned a degree in history and global health and began his fundraising endeavors.

“Even at Dartmouth, I was able to raise money through small concerts,” he said. “The next step is performing at Merrill Auditorium, someMichael Odokara-Okigbo’s new EP is called “In the Beginning” and is thing I’m very excited being mastered at Gateway Mastering & DVD in Portland.

One song called “Breakdown” is a reflection about his experiences so far, “trying to be as strong as possible but knowing I have flaws.”

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

sign mates said this well: “I wish you music to help with the burdens of life, and to help you release your happiness to others.” -- Ludwig van Beethoven CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will be tempting to veer off course and set your sights on an entirely different goal. But you will gain so much confidence from doing what you set out to do, if only to prove the point that you’re a person who follows through.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People think you’re brave for speaking your mind, but what they don’t understand is that you’re just not the type to bottle things up. To you, that would be far more painful than just telling the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What is it you most want people to feel around you?

Your clear intentions have power. You’ll cultivate and spread that emotion. Don’t worry about how. The result you want will shape your decisions unconsciously.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You already feel that life is good, but you’re about to believe it’s absolutely phenomenal. The next seven weeks bring an answer for every question, a date when you want one and opportunities galore. Give yourself a deserved break in August. September shows you rising up through the ranks of an organization.

Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 10, 23, 22 and 41.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel somewhat responsible for the happiness of those you love. There’s no reason to hold back any advice you have that might help to enhance and augment their well-being, but do keep in mind that timing is everything.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you burn the bridge behind you, there still will be ways to get back. You could swim, build a boat or hitch a ride on a plane, but all of these ways are uncertain and time consuming. Be nice to the bridge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The contradictions will seem to stand in defiance before you, daring you to make sense of them. This cannot be done with force or hard-line thinking. Gentleness and time will eventually bring all things into order.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t want to owe anyone, and yet, if you were to swallow your pride and accept some help, you would quickly find yourself in a much better position. You could help others from that place, too. Take the help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Difficult tasks are just a series of easy steps -- a really long series, to be sure. But since you’re only tackling one step at a time, there is little difference between choosing a difficult task and an easy one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll encounter two types of people now: the talkers and the doers. They need each other. The talkers will be the marketers and the publicity for all that the doers need to advertise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you don’t guess right or make a smart move right off the bat, don’t worry. This is just part of how you gain the experience you need. If you’re always correct the first time, you won’t make a good teacher later.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just because love is true doesn’t mean it is also easy. You’re up for the adventure, though.

Loyalties will be tested. You’ll learn even more about the person you love and about yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Turn up the tunes and be carefree. One of your

The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Friday, June 14, 2013— Page 15

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, June 14, the 165th day of 2013. There are 200 days left in the year. This is Flag Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Stars and Stripes as the national flag.

On this date: In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created.

In 1801, former American Revolutionary War General and notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold died in London.

In 1922, Warren G. Harding became the first president heard on radio, as Baltimore station WEAR broadcast his speech dedicating the Francis Scott Key memorial at Fort McHenry.

In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War II; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz (OWSH’vitz) concentration camp in German-occupied Poland.

In 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, ruled 6-3 that children in public schools could not be forced to salute the flag of the United States.

In 1952, President Harry S. Truman officiated at the keel-laying of the nuclear-powered submarine USS Nautilus in Groton, Conn.

In 1954, the words “under God” were added to the Pledge of Allegiance.

In 1967, the space probe Mariner 5 was launched from Cape Kennedy on a flight that took it past Venus.

In 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered a ban on continued domestic use of the pesticide DDT, to take effect at year’s end.

In 1982, Argentine forces surrendered to British troops on the disputed Falkland Islands.

In 1985, the 17-day hijack ordeal of TWA Flight 847 began as a pair of Lebanese Shiite (SHEE’eyet) Muslim extremists seized the jetliner shortly after takeoff from Athens, Greece.

In 1993, President Bill Clinton chose Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ten years ago: A wave estimated at about 20 feet tall capsized the charter fishing boat TakiTooo off the northern Oregon coast; nine people were killed, two others are missing and presumed dead; eight survived by swimming to shore. A car driven by Phoenix Bishop Thomas O’Brien struck and killed pedestrian Jim Reed; O’Brien was later convicted of leaving the scene of an accident and sentenced to probation. The Czech Republic voted to join the European Union.

Five years ago: Iran rejected a six-nation offer of incentives to stop enriching uranium, prompting President George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to jointly warn Tehran anew during a news conference in Paris against proceeding toward a nuclear bomb.

One year ago: In dueling speeches in the battleground state of Ohio, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, speaking in Cincinnati, described the Obama administration as the very “enemy” of people who create jobs; President Barack Obama, going second in Cleveland, asked the nation to buy into his vision for four more years or face a return to the recession-era “mistakes of the past.”

Dear Toledo: You make a valid argument, but we have to say, for every person who doesn’t want to be accosted, there are 10 who wish they could find a salesperson altogether. If the store employees work on commission, it would explain why they try so hard to make a sale to every customer. It usually suffices to say, “No, thank you. I’m just looking.” If not, feel free to register your complaint with the store manager and see whether it helps.

Dear Annie: Not long ago, you printed a letter from “Too Clean, Too Fearful,” a woman with anxiety about highway travel. She did not want counseling. You suggested relaxation techniques but didn’t specifically mention Tai Chi or Qigong classes, which are available at many community centers, fitness clubs, YMCAs and senior centers.

I teach both Tai Chi and Qigong and have been practicing for more than 24 years. It was part of my personal “quit smoking” program in 1988. Tai Chi is “relaxation in motion.” It is a moving meditation that teaches one how to relax in action. It is the only exercise I know that does this. Qigong is a cousin of Tai Chi. These exercises can be done in private or in a park, alone or with a friend. You can share the activity with your spouse to learn how to relax together. They can be learned while seated for those who have difficulty standing. They can be enjoyed for a lifetime and help develop the mind, along with better balance and coordination. Tai Chi and Qigong are dynamic, fun and relaxing, and yes, they relieve anxiety. -- Caroline Dear Caroline: Thanks for the additional suggestions. We hope our interested readers will check out these activities.

Dear Readers: Today is Flag Day and the 34th Annual Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m. (Eastern time).

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been together for five years. For the most part, we have a great relationship. The problem is, my husband is seven years older and had a few bad relationships before we got together. Because of this, he is always telling me I am a cheater and cannot be trusted.

Annie, I haven’t done a single thing in my past or present to make him feel this way. It is a constant fight between us. I have suggested that maybe we should get counseling so we can work on this, but he hasn’t been willing. Is there anything else I can do to make this annoying part of our relationship go away? -- Irritated Wife Dear Irritated: A person who constantly accuses the spouse of cheating when there is no cause is either cheating himself or too insecure to function in a healthy marriage. It is no way to live. First ask him to see his doctor and find out whether there is a medical reason for his behavior. Then stop “suggesting” and insist that your husband go with you for counseling.

If he refuses, go on your own to decide whether this is something you can tolerate or alleviate.

Dear Annie: Why do stores think that having sales associates accost you in every aisle will make you enjoy shopping?

A simple “Hello, how may I help you?” is all we need. Following us around and asking all sorts of questions is annoying. Knowing this will happen every time I enter the store makes me want to shop elsewhere.

People like to be acknowledged. They do not like to be hounded. If I want to wander around and look, I don’t enjoy being bombarded by five salespeople asking me the same stuff over and over. A customer who wants help will ask for it. Otherwise, please leave us alone. Businesses should train their employees to treat people as valued customers, not idiots. -- Toledo

What new visual conversations can be created by sifting through and rearranging the everyday artifacts of popular culture?

Spindleworks artists take on these questions in KAPOW, a new show opening for June’s Second Friday Art Walk. 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. Join us for the reception in conjunction with the Second Friday Art Walk, June 14, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Spindleworks is a nonprofit art center in Brunswick.” see next page

‘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. The script is funny, lively and moving, and the score, played by a three-piece band, artfully blends legit musical theater music with pop overtones.

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.

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. Friday, June 14 at 5:30 p.m. — “The War of the Roses”; Saturday, June 15 at 2 p.m. — “The War of the Roses”; Saturday, June 15 at 5 p.m. — “The Tempest”; Sunday, June 16 at 2 p.m. — “The Tempest”; Sunday, June 16 at 5 p.m. — “The War of the Roses.” Free ($10 suggested donation) FMI: 854-0065 or visit www.acorn-productions. org.

In this depiction of an aging warrior’s return home, Titus Andronicus is a masterful examination of power, corruption, loyalty to family and to country, and the lengths to which one man will go to right a horrifying wrong. A legendary general, Titus Andronicus, returns in triumph to Rome. But the city is in chaos, its Emperor dead. The years of battle have taken their toll on Titus — the choices he makes from the moment he sets foot in the city lead to a spiral of betrayal, revenge and death.” Performance times are Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday Matinees at 2 p.m. There will be a special Talk Back with the director and the actors immediately following the matinee on Sunday, June 16.

Pride en masse wedding ceremony

1:30 p.m. “The organizers for Southern Maine Pride announced that they are seeking engaged or committed same sex couples who would like to publicly marry or renew their vows during an en masse wedding ceremony held at Deering Oaks Park on Saturday, June 15, during the 27th Annual Southern Maine Pride Parade & Festival in Portland. The theme for Pride this year is ‘Marry ME.’ In light of the newly enfranchised gay population in Maine, organizers believe it would be fitting to use the Southern Maine Pride Festival in Portland as a public forum to acknowledge and celebrate the legalizing of same sex marriage in Maine, particularly at the site where the struggle for marriage equality has been fostered and advocated for decades. ... The ceremony will commence at the beginning of the Pride Festival, as the Pride Parade ends around 1:30 p.m. at Deering Oaks Park. The ceremony will last approximately 10 to 15 minutes, and a designated non-denominational officiant will conduct the service with predetermined vows. Photographers will be present to record the ceremony for the couples & the images will be archived with the Sampson Center for Diversity in Maine at the University of Southern Maine Glickman Library. Interested parties should sign-up in order for organizers to keep a headcount through their wedding registration form on Southern Maine Pride’s website at www.southernmainepride.org, or call Festival Organizer, Sid Tripp, at Proactive Resources at 772-3599 for more information, or to be listed for inclusion in the ceremony.”

‘God’s Trombones’ benefit for Abyssinian

5 p.m. “Nearly 75 years after his death on a rainy Wiscasset morning, poet and early civil rights leader James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) will be honored with worship and community conversation during ‘God’s Trombones’ at Trinity Church, 580 Forest Ave., Portland. A collaboration of four Portland churches, the event is free and open to the public. Donations benefit the Abyssinian Meeting House Restoration Project of Portland. Church leaders will deliver sermon poems from ‘God’s Trombones,’ the 1927 book in which Johnson sought to capture in verse the powerful instrument of the folk preacher’s voice. In the book’s introduction, he said, ‘The old-time Negro preacher is rapidly passing. I have here tried sincerely to fix something of him.’ Bringing the sermon poems to life are the Rev. Dr. H. Roy Partridge, Jr., of Trinity Church and Bowdoin College; Bishop Steve Coleman, Williams Temple Church of God in Christ; and the Rev. Kenneth I. Lewis, Jr., Green Memorial AME Zion Church. After the service, Dean Benjamin Shambaugh of Cathedral Church of St. Luke will lead a community conversation with the preachers about the sermon poems’ significance today. The Choir of Green Memorial AME Zion Church will sing the service’s spirituals and hymns. Organist Albert Melton of Cathedral Church of St. Luke will play the prelude and postlude. Also contributing are guests from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Brunswick; Linda Ashe-Ford will offer the book’s preliminary ‘Listen Lord, A Prayer’ and the Rev. Alfred Niese will introduce the service. Trinity Church Rector, the Rev. Lawrence Weeks, will welcome the congregation. ... Free. Donations benefit Abyssinian Meeting House Restoration Project. 443-8613.”

Riverbank Shakespeare Festival

5 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.

Yes, MAMM! All-girl rock band dazzles Yard Sail rock band that launched from music academy plays Old Port Fesetival

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

This is not your typical Yard Sail. Rather than a front yard smorgasbord of unwanted items, Yard Sail is an all-girl rock band from the Maine Academy of Modern Music, the first-ever incarnation for the music school who rocked the Old Port Festival crowd last Sunday.

Jeff Shaw, executive directive and founder of MAMM, is understandably proud of the four-member band of female rockers.

They have been together since the beginning of the school year, and have played at Ocean Avenue Elementary School, the Breakwater School, Bayside Bowl and Yankee Lanes. But the Old Port Festival was their breakout gig, and they wowed the crowd with songs like Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane,” a Cowboy Junkies’ version that created a visual disconnect between their youthful appearance and seasoned stage presence.

Shaw, who grew up in Rhode Island and moved to Downeast Maine for his teen years, started MAMM five years ago, after graduating from the University of Maine at Machias where he studied music and psychology. In addition to his duties with the music school, he has taught music at the Spurwink Schools, statewide, for the past nine years.

“I started the music program at Spurwink so I was able to build that from the ground up,” Shaw said.

He has always appreciated the therapeutic value of music and is able to use his dual degrees to that end. His work with Yard Sail is more of a labor of love, however, and the band’s energy often ignites his own after a long day.

“Jeff is fun to work with,” said Eve Gagne, 11, the drummer. “We goof off all the time so sometimes he has to put his foot down and say maybe we should play.”

Gagne attends the C.K. Burns School in Saco and has been drumming for two years. Her favorite subjects in school are writing and art.

“I usually listen to music to motivate me,” she said. “My family’s big about music so we hear it all the time.”

Skyler Cummings, 14, plays bass guitar in the band and attends King Middle School in Portland.

She has played bass for a year, and guitar for three years. She played clarinet in her school band, and also plays guitar in Neverland, another band in school.

“I play music all the time when school is stress-

ful,” she said. “It’s just a way to have fun. It’s in my everyday life.”

She says when her other band is creating music, they usually do the instrumental part first and then work as a band to write the lyrics.

Emma Ivy, 12, is the lead singer of Yard Sail. She attends Memorial Middle School in South Portland, where she favors art and science, and is in the chorus and band where she plays the flute. She said Yard Sail includes (clockwise from she has been singing top left) Eve Gagne on drums, since she started talkSkyler Cummings on bass, Zoe ing. She has employed Gagne on lead guitar and Emma music recently to deal Ivy on vocals. (TIMOTHY GILLIS with health issues.

PHOTOS) “I had ACL surgery and listened to music all the time,” Ivy said. “I also had Hand-Foot-andMouth Disease, and it was hard to talk,” so she was thrilled when she recovered and could crank out the vocals again.

When creating music, Ivy said she works with her brother, Devin, who is in another indie band called Lisa Liza. “I think of words, something random, poetry or something and say ‘that should be a song.’

My brother does the drumbeat, and my dad thinks of something to play on the guitar,” she said. Her father is Herb Ivy, better known to local rock fans as The Captain on WBLM. Zoe Gagne, 13, plays lead guitar for Yard Sail and attend Thornton Academy Middle School. She has been playing guitar for four years. Her favorite classes are “lunchtime and art class,” she said.

“I listen to music while doing school work.” When creating her own tunes, she said “I usually just write down random chords on a marker board. (Her sister) Eve picks one and thinks of something to sing.”

The four girls met last year while attending MAMM summer music camps. Shaw thought they would make a nice fit for a band. In addition to Velvet Underground, their repertoire includes “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper, “Brainstew” by Green Day, and “Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones. They are working on “Twist and Shout” by the Beatles.

They plan to have a couple of practices over the summer, and hope to meet up again at the Girls Rock Summer Camp at MAMM.
