Tomatoes ripe for improvement

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (NY Times) — Science is trying to build a better supermarket tomato.

At a laboratory at the University of Florida’s Institute for Plant Innovation, researchers chop tomatoes from nearby greenhouses and plop them into glass tubes to extract flavor compounds.

These flavor compounds are identified and quantified by machine. People taste and rate the hybrid tomatoes grown in the university’s fields.

“I’m 98 percent confident we can make a tomato that tastes substantially better,” said Harry J. Klee, a professor of horticultural sciences.

He hopes that the fruits of his labor will be available to commercial growers within four or five years and in supermarkets a couple of years after that. He thinks he can make seeds for better tomatoes available to home gardeners within a year or two.

It is easy to find a better tasting and more nutritious tomato. Go to a farmer’s market or grow one in the backyard. It is also easy to breed a plant that produces something tastier than a supermarket tomato — cross a sweet heirloom with the supermarket variety. In the greenhouse, Dr. Klee pulls one such hybrid tomato off a vine, and it does taste sweeter.

But a hybrid also loses some of the qualities highly valued by commercial growers — it is not as fecund, not as resistant to disease, not as easily grown, not as pretty.

As growers are paid by the pound, a better-tasting but less productive tomato holds little economic appeal, and thus was the supermarket tomato doomed to blandness.

Dr. Klee’s goal is to tweak the tomato DNA — through traditional breeding — to add desired flavors while not compromising the traits needed for it to thrive commercially. “I figure that with approximately five key genes we could very significantly improve flavor,” he said.

Egypt military enlists religion to Quell ranks

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

CAIRO (NY Times) — The Egyptian military has enlisted Muslim scholars in a propaganda campaign to persuade soldiers and policemen that they have a religious duty to obey orders to use deadly force against supporters of the ousted president, Mohamed Morsi.

The effort is a signal that the generals are worried about insubordination in the ranks, after security forces have killed hundreds of their fellow Egyptians who were protesting against the military’s removal of the elected president — violence by the armed forces

against civilians that is without precedent in the country’s modern history.

The recourse to religion to justify the killing is also a new measure of the depth of the military’s determination to break down the main pillar of Morsi’s support, the Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood. Indeed, after ousting Morsi in the name of tolerance, inclusiveness and an end to religious rule, the military is now sending religious messages to its troops that sound surprisingly similar to the arguments of radical militants who call for violence against political oppo-

nents whom they deem to be nonbelievers.

“When somebody comes who tries to divide you, then kill them, whoever they are,” Ali Gomaa, the former mufti appointed under President Hosni Mubarak, is seen telling soldiers in a video made by the military’s Department of Moral Affairs. “Even with the sanctity and greatness of blood, the prophet permits us to fight this,” he said in the video, likening opponents of the military takeover — implicitly, the Brotherhood — to an early Islamic sect that some scholars considered to be infidels, and thus permissible to kill.

Under Obama, little progress Kerry says chemical arms on high-level jobs for women attack in Syria ‘undeniable’ WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Behind the roiling conversation over whether President Obama might make Janet L. Yellen the first female leader of the Federal Reserve is an uncomfortable reality for the White House: the administration has named no more women to high-level executive branch posts than the Clinton administration did almost two decades ago.

Prominent women like Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (top left) and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis (top right) have left the administration. But the White House has modestly improved its gender balance with high-profile nominations like Samantha Power (bottom left) as ambassador to the United Nations and Susan E. Rice (bottom right) as national security adviser.

rity adviser. But by most measures of gender diversity, including the proportion of women at the cabinet level, the executive branch looks little different from 20 years ago, even as the House of Representatives, the Senate and corporate America have placed significantly more women in senior roles.

“There’s room for improvement, and we’ve seen some missed opportunities,” said Debbie Walsh, the director for the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “We’re all watching the Fed to see what will happen there.”

Obama is choosing from a small pool of candidates for the Federal Reserve position — probably the most important economic appointment he will make in his second term. The finalists include Yellen, the Fed’s current vice chairwoman and a former Clinton administration official. The favored candidate among several top Obama aides is Lawrence H. Summers, the former Treasury secretary and Obama economic adviser.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that the use of chemical weapons in attacks on civilians in Syria last week was undeniable and that the Obama administration would hold the Syrian government accountable for what he called a “moral obscenity” that had shocked the world’s conscience.

In some of the most strident language used yet by the administration, Kerry accused the Syrian government of cynically seeking to cover up the use of the weapons, and he rejected its denial of responsibility for what he called a “cowardly crime.”

Kerry’s remarks, in a prepared statement he read at the State Department, reinforced the administration’s toughening stance on the Syria conflict, which is now well into its third year, and he suggested that the White House was moving closer to a military response in consultation with America’s allies.

“The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity,” Kerry said.

“By any standard, it is inexcusable,” he said. “And despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable.”

Kerry also said the Syrian government’s refusal to allow immediate access to the attack sites last Wednesday was a telling indicator that it was trying to hide responsibility. Even though a United Nations team was finally permitted by the Syrian government to investigate starting Monday, he said, the government’s authorization was “too late” to be credible.

Man sought in connection with Munjoy Hill, Riverton burglaries

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Police are searching for a Portland man who they have identified as a person of interest in connection with a series of burglaries.

David Michael Ferrar, 23, of Portland, is wanted on charges of violation of probation, according to the Portland Police Department, and as a person of interest in a recent rash of residential burglaries throughout the city. Police described Ferrar as a white male, 6 feet 1 inches tall, about 180 pounds and with short brown hair and brown eyes.

Ferrar Anyone who might see Ferrar is

asked to contact police immediately.

Ferrar may be traveling on a bike through downtown residential areas and the outer Forest Avenue area, according to police, and possibly using the railroad right of ways to travel through the city.

Almost two weeks ago, the PPD cautioned residents to lock their homes and vehicles after a series of burglaries were reported on Munjoy Hill and the Morrill’s Corner neighborhoods. Police said the burglars had either entered homes through unlocked windows or, in some cases, cut through screens.

Items reported stolen during the burglaries included laptop computers, computer tablets, cash, jewelry, medication and firearms.

Some of the burglaries were concentrated around

Melbourne Street, the Munjoy South complex, Hammond Street, Vesper Street, Morning Street, Glengarden Drive, Harvard Street, Harris Avenue, Newton Street, Goodridge Avenue , Plymouth Street, Harmony Street and Palmer Avenue.

One resident confronted a burglar and described him as a white male about 6 feet tall, with scruffy facial hair, wearing dark clothing.

Anyone with information about Ferrar is asked to contact the Portland Police Department at 874-8533 or Det. Kelley Gorham at 874-8933.

Community members may submit tips by going to the Portland Police Department website: www.portland-police.com and clicking “Submit an Anonymous Crime Tip.” Finally, anonymous phone tips can be left on the police department’s Crime Tip line: 874-8584.

South Portland spa cited by police as illegal adult use establishment

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

A South Portland spa accused of running an adult use business where some clients were partially exposed as part of the service has been notified that the business is in violation of both the city’s massage establishment/massage therapist regulatory ordinance, and the city’s adult use establishment license ordinance, the South Portland Police Department reported.

As a result of an investigation into allegations of suspicious or inappropriate activities occurring at the “Red Stone Spa,” 585 Broadway in South Portland, the police department has issued letters to the owner and manager of the business, Lucy Louie and Lan Song Liu, respectively, both of New York, notifying them that they were in violation of both ordinances, police reported.

“Neighbors were concerned about what may or may not be going on in there, and we had received information from people who had been inside the parlor,” said Lt. Frank Clark with the South Portland Police Department.

Police resorted to a civil action, subject to fines of between $500 and $1,000 on the massage ordinance violation, and from $1,000 to $2,500 on the two adult use establishment license ordinance violations, Clark said.

“Ultimately, based on the evidence that we have, we don’t have the evidence to prove they were committing prostitution in there,” Clark said.

On Friday, the owner, Louie, 34, of New York, was also issued civil summonses to appear in Portland District Court on Oct. 16 for the alleged city ordinance violations of operating an establishment that advertises, offers and provides massage services without a city license; operating an adult use establishment that advertises, offers and provides bathing (“Table Shower”) services and/or “rub-down” or other pseudo-massage services without being licensed under the ordinance; and operation of an adult use establishment within 1,000 feet of a public park or public school, police said.

Police determined that an adult use establishment could not be licensed at the 585 Broadway location because the property is located 321 feet from Mahoney Middle School (a public school), 213 feet from Mill Creek Park (a public park) and 102 feet from the Greenbelt Walkway (a public park).

Louie also has addresses in Morristown, N.J., and Greenwich, Conn.; and Liu has addresses in Fresh Meadows, N.Y., and Norwich, Conn., police indicated.

Red Stone Spa was accused by police of “providing massages to clients whose genitals are exposed,” according to correspondence with the

owner and manager.

A Notice of Violation letter from Jeffrey Caldwell, officer with the Community Response Unit, stated that “the Police Department has observed that ‘Red Stone Spa’ is advertising, offering and providing bathing services and/or ‘rub-down’ or other pseudomassage services without any license under the Ordinance. The ‘Red Stone Spa’ actively advertises its ‘table shower,’ and the Police Department has evidence that bathing services and ‘rub-down’ or other pseudo-massage services are being offered and provided at the ‘Red Stone Spa.’” A second Notice of Violation letter, also dated Aug. 21, states, “The purpose of the Massage Ordinance is to distinguish between trained and experienced persons practicing legitimate message therapy and those persons without legitimate massage training or experience who may masquerade as massage therapists as a façade for the exchange of sexual intercourse, sexual contacts or sexual acts for money. The Police Department has been investigating reports of suspicious activity at the ‘Red Stone Spa.’ On August 12, 2013, several South Portland Police Department Officers, including myself, visited the establishment known as ‘Red Stone Spa’ located at 585 Broadway in South Portland (Tax Map 14, Lot 202B). As a result of this investigation, the City has identified several violations of the

Massage Ordinance. First, the Police Department has observed that ‘Red Stone Spa’ is advertising, offering and providing massage services without any licenses under the Massage Ordinance. ... Second, the Police Department has evidence that one or more massage therapists at the ‘Red Stone Spa’ are providing massages to clients whose genitals are exposed. This is in violation of Section 14-621(b) of the Massage Ordinance, which prohibits such conduct. Third, Section 14-624 of the Massage Ordinance requires a massage establishment to keep a written list of the names and current addresses of all employees, both on and off duty. When you were asked for this list on August 12, 2013, no list was produced, and no list was observed on the premises.”

The owners were asked to immediately cease and desist from advertising, offering and providing massages without being properly licensed by the city and to immediately cease and desist from the operation of an adult use establishment in that location of the city, police reported.

Citing the operators for ordinance violations, police noted that the business cannot continue operating as an adult use establishment based on its location.

“Even if they try to seek a license for that, that location will not support it based on the ordinance,” Clark explained.

Death of man who fell from parking garage not considered suspicious Daily Sun Staff Report

The Portland Police Department says that the circumstances surrounding a man who died after falling from a downtown parking garage are not considered suspicious.

Police say David Thorne, 54, of Portland, died

after he fell 80 feet from the top deck of the One City Center parking garage Sunday afternoon, according to a press release. Thorne’s body landed just outside 22 Free St., police reported in a press release.

Witnesses saw Thorne sitting on the top of the garage with his legs hanging over the edge,

according to a press release. Lt. James Sweatt said investigators felt that it was a purposeful act, based on what information was obtained from witnesses.

Sweatt said police don’t think there was anything nefarious about the incident or that any other people were involved.

March on Washington, Labor Day reflections

Fifty years ago one quarter million citizens traveled to Washington, D.C. to rally and show solidarity to the government and the world at large; it was early in the civil rights movement less than ten years since Brown vs.

Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas proclaimed that separate could not be equal in education.

Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to President Kennedy and evidently convinced him to act to address the reality of two Americas separate and unequal.

Much as the labor movement of the 1930s convinced FDR that a safety net must be created to provide for aging citizens that have labored their entire lives, MLK Jr. convinced JFK and LBJ to act to improve the lives of millions. The Civil Rights act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became laws and changed the basic appearance of life in the United States and the world. It is often forgotten that the civil rights movement was not exclusively about race, it was about social equality. It was equally concerned with gender, disability, ethnic and sexual discrimina-

Since progressive acts to create social justice were first created, forces have been active to reduce and restrain. The sixteenth amendment created an income tax that recognized the responsibility of the wealthiest to contribute more to the general welfare of the nation. Forces have worked steadily to have wealth from investment exempted and protected. Recently corporations and wealthy individuals have been provided tax havens often off shore to shield the income from

their investments. A powerful industry of lobbyists design and promote legislation increasing profits and financial manipulators have created investment products that insure riches for the brokers without benefiting society in any way. Creating mortgage backed securities and selling them to investors while privately betting against them is clearly a criminal act and yet no one has been held accountable.

When universal health care was first proposed by President Truman in 1949, it was attacked as socialism, a negative ad campaign that continues 60 years later with President Obama.

What unnamed sources told me ...

Two Democrats say Mike Michaud made an intelligent remark during a fund-raiser This just in. A couple of Democratic legislators told me yesterday that they heard Mike Michaud said something intelligent at his first gubernatorial fund-raiser.

The Democratic candidate for governor was cruising soothingly along; speaking about getting Maine of the right track, forging a path together, working together, honoring hardworking Mainers, working together, bi-partisan bliss, civility, lots of free stuff, working together—all the usual—when he seemed to lose his place in the script, stammered a bit and blurted out something which sounded suspiciously intelligent.

He said that, of course, there are a lot of Mainers who wouldn’t do a lick of work as long as they could make some kind of living on welfare.

He quickly recovered, saying that he knew hard work doesn’t guarantee success. Sitting in the shadows of the congressional obscure caucus, he said, may guarantee success but not

John Frary –––––

Guest Columnist everyone can hope to get elected, so he aimed to speak for hard-loafing Mainers as well.

The two Democrats I spoke with confirmed the comment but asked that their names be withheld for fear of being suspected of having the ability to recognize intelligent ideas.

“Yeah, he said it,” one of the lawmakers told me. “It was one little thing from a speech, but I think most people there thought it was totally out of character for Mike to say anything intelligent. He’s a regular guy.”

Ben Grant, Maine Democratic Party chairman, said he wasn’t there but doubted the candidate said anything intelligent. Mike’s a regular guy, Ben told me. He never departs from the straight and true path of comforting and familiar cliches.

Another lawmaker who attended the event—Troy Jackson—said he didn’t hear the comment. Senator Jackson said that if Michaud made an intelligent comment he wouldn’t have

been able to recognize it anyway.

The gubernatorial candidate’s director of communications issued a statement that said, in part, “It seems farfetched for you to insinuate that Mike isn’t a regular guy.” He went on at some length about how much Mike Michaud enjoys riding around on a fork-lift — a regular guy-type thing.

Staffers confirmed Michaud’s comment but said they support the representative’s genial personality and admired his firm hand-shake.

“If the representative did in fact say something intelligent, it raises questions about his qualifications to be the Democratic nominee” said Mark Mooshine, a political scientist at the University of Maine in Beans Corner.

“It certainly sounds intelligent,” he said. “But does it hurt him? Given that it’s Mike Michaud, I don’t necessarily think so.” Prof. Mooshine listed some examples of the representative’s consistently unintelligent statements. He claimed he read all 2,700 pages of the Affordable Care Act before voting for it. He has boasted of authoring a constitutional amendment to freeze social security in its present state for all eternity. He endorsed John Edwards for president in 2008. He voted for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Prof. Mooshine pointed out that no one in this galaxy has read the ACA

The Fed taper talk is pretty much a case of holding a gun to a puppy’s head KUNSTLER from page 4

chest wound — not to mention a Hindenberg-like conflagration of the U.S. Treasury as debt payments went beyond critical.

Pardon me for saying that I don’t think these mooks of finance know what they’ve been paying for with the QE series of monkeyshines. They’ve been creating “money” for five years to offset the collapse of a no-longer-cheap-oil economy. It’s really that simple. If any of these poobahs thinks they can run a “normal economy” at $106-a-barrel then they should run out and get a realtor’s license and buy as many Arizona REO’s as the foundering banks will admit to holding on their books, and then become landlord to renters working 29 hours a week on the WalMart loading dock.

Actually, I don’t think they will have to wait that long to see the consequences of their loose, silly talk. America’s major export is now working its hoodoo in many other parts of the world as currencies become unglued and economies look down at the flimsy bamboo scaffolding that holds them up so high. America’s major export these days is economic uncertainty, specifically the question of what, exactly, will maintain the pretense that the hopelessly intertwined financial affairs of China, India, Brazil, Japan, Euroland, Russia, and everybody else, really, including ourselves, are not unraveling like

some kind of cosmic sweater knitted with one needle by a cross-eyed god with the jim-jams.

A lot of people begin to suspect that there is something called “an economy” quite apart from the shenanigans and dumb shows put on by the banks and their imitators, the hedge funds. That actual economy is a very earthy thing, in so far as it is pegged to the biophysical realities of the planet — such as, can you harvest a turnip and therefore make turnip soup for dinner? After all, you won’t be making a soup out of interest rate swaps. Of course, dining on turnip soup is not as sexy as driving to work in a Tesla to a hedge fund boiler room where you get to cream off millions every week by playing Where’s Waldo with the rehypothecated accounts of the muppets who foolishly entrusted you with their own ill-gotten savings.

The nervousness out there is palpable and epochal.

Not only is everyone waiting for some other shoe to drop after Labor Day; they’re waiting for it to drop on their own heads. The most visible result, I think, will be a shocking flight into precious metals, of which there is precious little to meet the kind of demand soon to overwhelm that teeny-weeny market corner of the financial universe. What else is there now?

The Fed taper talk is pretty much a case of holding a gun to a puppy’s head — the puppy being the equities markets. The bond sector is a hall of mirrors.

Cash is a lot less than king in several countries now,

with the contagion running hot. Everything is mispriced to the upside except Gold and Silver, which are mispriced the other way, especially after the chicaneries of April and June when, depending on which story you believe, the banks ran a naked short campaign to knock the stuffing out of the metals so they could then go back in and hoover some of it up cheap in an attempt to conceal the multiple outleasings (that is sale, or perhaps theft) of metal left by fools in their custodial charge. Or, some other sages might say, the knock-down was done to defend the honor of the evaporating U.S. dollar (a dollar with the vapors), making it appear sturdier than it actually is. Yes, well that worked, sort of, for a few months, while Wall Street repaired to the annual East Hampton endorphin splash. I was not invited to Diddy’s party, where the pineal glands of the gathered .01 percent were audibly ringing with celestial euphoria as they swapped the reassuring pulsations of their own specialness.

Those people, you can be sure, were not pining for a “normal economy.”

Long story short: we’re in for some interesting weeks ahead. Keep your hat on.

Fifty years ago in America labor unions were a dominant force for social change. Today they are increasingly marginalized as corporations and their political allies threaten that fair wages and decent benefits will cause the jobs to disappear; the big corporations will build their factories elsewhere in a more friendly “right to work” environment. Working people, all races, all nationalities, all ages, and both genders should join in solidarity

with a single purpose. We need to respect the right of each individual to rise as high as possible and provide for the care of the least among us “with liberty and justice for all.”

Social Security is attacked as an entitlement negating the lifetime of contributions that workers have made into the system.

Bath police: Accused burglar took liquor, knife, power tool, wax paper from BBQ eatery Daily Sun Staff Reports A Phippsburg man is accused of breaking into a Bath barbecue restaurant and taking liquor, a power tool, a butcher knife and wax paper, the Bath Police Department reported.

On Monday at approximately 1:24 a.m., Officer Michael Lever observed a suspicious person behind Smith Cleaners, located on the corner of Center and Water St. in Bath, police said. When Officer Lever went to investigate, he observed numerous liquor bottles on the ground next to the man. There was also a power tool, a butcher knife and some wax paper on the ground near the bottles, police said.

Officer Lever identified the person as Joshua Robinson Sr., a 27-year-old male from 1508 Main Rd., Phippsburg, a Bath Police Department press release stated.

Officer Lever radioed for additional officers to assist him. Sgt. Dan Couture and Officer Shaun Cavanaugh responded to assist him, police said. Sgt. Couture and Officer Cavanaugh searched the area looking for evidence of a possible break-in to a local business. After a brief search, Sgt. Couture discovered that Beale St. Barbeque — located at 215 Water St. — had a window open and screen removed, the press release stated. After further investigation, it was discovered that the liquor, tool and wax paper and knife that were found next to Robinson had come from Beale St. Barbeque restaurant, police said. Additionally, Robinson’s cell phone was discovered with these items on the ground when he was

District: Portland schools’ West Program, Adult Ed find new homes

poses,” said Sharon Pray, the Portland Public Schools’ special services director. She noted that most rooms have a quiet space for students to take sensory breaks, de-escalate and process with adults.

That is important for students with autistic spectrum disorders and some other special needs.

Once the West Program has a long-term home, the Portland Public Schools hopes to increase the size of the program by returning some students who have been in private, special purpose schools and possibly enrolling students from neighboring districts.

Portland Adult Education moved out of the West School in July, and the program faced the possibility of using five or six locations for classes this fall.

That would have been costly because the district would have had to hire custodial and office support and make other arrangements at each location, the school district reported. Students, teachers and volunteer tutors would have been spread across the city, disrupting the program’s continuity and making safety and security more challenging.

At Kavanagh School, the adult education program will have the use of 14 classrooms, more space than previously, to accommodate 1,100 students, 200 volunteers and 45 teachers each trimester, the school district reported. The program’s job skills and enrichment classes will remain this fall at Riverton Elementary School, their location for the past several years. A committee will begin meeting this month to look at long-term solutions for housing the entire adult education program.

Corriero revels in Maine’s ocean inspirations From the Marines to NYC, Portland-based artist reflects on his muse, life in art world

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Guy Corriero has painted his way through a long and varied life. The Portland-based artist was trained in New York, spends two months a year in Mexico, and continues to flourish in the traditional school of representational painting despite the popularity of contemporary work that leaves more to the imagination.

Corriero was born in Brooklyn and lived there until he was 16 years old, when he moved to Long Beach, Long Island.

His love of the ocean, a recurring subject is many of his works, began at Long Beach.

“We had a house a block from the ocean,” he remembered. “I became a lifeguard and went to Long Beach High School, and then for one year to the School of Visual Arts in New York City.”

From there, he went to C.W. Post College in Long Island during its inaugural year, where he studied liberal arts.

“They didn’t have a fine arts curriculum,” he explained, though he majored in fine arts, and studied under Jules Olitski, an American abstract painter, printmaker, and sculptor. Frances Roosevelt, the wife of President Theodore’s grandson Quentin, instructed him in watercolors. From each teacher, he gathered what worked for him. He avoided the abstract lessons from Olitski and focused on sculpture. From Roosevelt, he learned a love of watercolor, though he doesn’t paint in that medium much anymore.

“It’s mainly oils these days,” Corriero said. “The galleries don’t want watercolors, and they don’t sell.”

After college, he entered the Marine Corps, in 1959, where he worked as an illustrator for the Marine Corps Gazette magazine, painting the publication’s covers for two years.

From there, he went into commercial art for five years in New York City, where he worked for Equitable Life Insurance, painting pamphlets, brochures, and sales aids. Then he used his skill with a brush to create another career.

“I invented my own job,” he said. “The idea

Guy Corriero regarding his first brush with Monhegan, ‘I just had to see this island’ ARTIST from page 7

They wanted me to be a cruise director on their sister ship, the Ocean Monarch, and gave me a trial run from New York to Bermuda. I started getting serious with my (future) wife, Sharon. She said she’s not going to be married to someone who works on a cruise ship.”

Corriero started teaching at the state college in Farmingdale and taught commercial art there for eight years. Then he started the art department at Herkimer County Community College in upstate N.Y. in 1971.

“I taught there for 20 years, taught all the art courses — photography, painting, etc. If it had the word art in it, I taught it,” he said.

Corriero moved to Maine after an inspirational visit.

“In 1970, I went to the Grand Central Galleries in New York, a popular gallery for representational paintings. I walked into the gallery, and it really changed me. I saw this seascape by Frederick Waugh. I kept going back to see it. They were selling a biography on Waugh by George Havens. In it was a chapter on Monhegan Island.

I just had to see this island.”

The Corrieros went for a visit one day, and then returned for the next 39 years. During that time, they decided to move to Portland.

“I was shipping paintings from New York to the Lupine Gallery on Monhegan. I thought if I live in Portland, I can just put the paintings in the car and drive them up.”

These days, Corriero visits the waters closer to his house for artistic ideas.

“Prouts Neck is so inspiring,” he said. “Even though Monhegan has the reputation, I prefer Prouts Neck and Two Lights State Park. The water and the horizon are at your eye level, whereas at Monhegan, you’re looking down at the ocean. It’s really exciting to have that feeling of power as the ocean comes right at you.”

Guy and Sharon, married for 47 years, started going to Mexico 10 years ago.

“We were looking for a place to spend the winter months,” he said.

“We tried Cedar Key and Longboat Key, Florida, but didn’t like it. We went to New Mexico and Arizona. My father was living there at the time. I remember a friend of mine telling me about San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.

We visited and just fell in love with the place, rented a condo there.

We were only there two weeks, and we bought a condo. We’re not impetuous people like that. We usually consider what we do before such a purchase, but we loved San Miguel so much. We go down every February and March now.”

His work is displayed in a gallery in San Miguel.

“Sharon and I decided to donate any money we made from the show to a ‘Feed the Hungry’ program to help poor kids in Mexico have lunches in school,” he said.

As he retired in 1993 to paint fulltime, Corriero’s work can be seen at the Fore Street Gallery, in Portland, the Wiscasset Bay Gallery, in Wiscasset, and the Camden Falls Gallery, in Camden.

For a look at his work without getting in your car or leaving your home, visit the website, www.guycorriero.com.

Paws in the Park dog walk coming home Animal Refuge League to host fundraiser at shelter for the first time in event’s 16-year history

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Dog fanciers can fill up their days with special events, including Monday’s National Dog Day, which encouraged the adoption of shelter pets, or the Dog Days of Summer at L.L. Bean in Freeport, held Saturday to bring dog lovers together and benefit the Coastal Humane Society.

But the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland is taking its outreach a step further. The Westbrook-based nonprofit animal rescue organization plans to give the public a first-hand look at the joy of adopting a four-legged companion by hosting a fundraiser right at the shelter.

This year, for the 16th annual Paws in the Park dog walk, for the first time in the history of the walk, Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland will be holding the walk at the Animal Refuge League shelter on Stroudwater Street in Westbrook, the group announced.

“This year we’re excited because we’re actually having it right at the shelter and the grounds of the Westbrook Middle School,” said Lynne McGhee, community relations manager for the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland.

The event is 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 29.

“This year, more than any other year, we feel it is important that people who have not been to our shelter see what it’s all about,” McGhee explained of the change in venue.

“It’s a constant education,” she said.

A common impression is that an animal shelter is a sad place, McGhee said, so the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland wanted to dispel that idea.

“We want more people to feel like, ‘Oh, this is a great place,’” and get rid of some of the stereotypes of what a shelter is, she said.

The dog walk will take place on the daily walking trail at the shelter, which has been located in Westbrook since 1957. According to the group’s website, the shelter is named for Maine Governor Percival Baxter, who funded the original shelter on India Street in Portland, established in 1911. The league takes in more than 4,000 stray, abandoned or owner surrendered animals, according to its website, http:// www.arlgp.org/about-us.

“There’s no time limit at our shelter,” McGhee

said, and added, “We look at each individual animal, we do individual assessments.”

The league is partnering with Westbrook Middle School to use its grounds. “We really need people who can come and do the walk, and if people want to get a team together at their office they can walk as a team to try to generate fundraising dollars,” McGhee said.

Vendors and sponsors are also welcomed.

Details of the event are being hammered out, but one attraction will be Lucy, a 2.5-pound Yorkie, who is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest working dog. Winner of

international fame, Lucy hails from Absecon, N.J., and works as a therapy dog through the Leashes of Love program.

“She’s going to be our grand marshal for the parade,” McGhee noted.

The walk begins at 10 a.m., and a parade of adoptable dogs will follow at 11 a.m. Then, the league plans canine demonstrations, contests and other events.

“We try to make it an educational day as well as a fun day,” McGhee said.

The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland is located at 449 Stroudwater St., Westbrook. Call 854-9771 or visit http://www.arlgp.org for more information.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a bit of a travesty, but don’t worry. The commonly mistaken definition of “travesty” -- an unfortunate event -- will not apply. It’s the real meaning -- a false or distorted representation -- that will apply.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Do your best” is a cliche at risk of losing real meaning if left unexamined. How do you do your best? You apply yourself, and all you have and know, with full respect and attention to the task at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you put your money into is the least of your investments. Your time and attention are far more precious than money, and your loved ones know this.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27). You’ll get to know an interesting new someone, and this changes the flow of your year. September brings funding for an important goal. You’ll be involved with a special event in November and will be credited with its success. Practice and prepare, because January is your chance at a high position. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 25, 48 and 15.

Today’s Birthdays: Cajun-country singer Jimmy C. Newman is 86. Author Dame Antonia Fraser is 81. Actor Tommy Sands is 76.

Bluegrass singer-musician J.D. Crowe is 76.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You like to have a detailed understanding about all that’s in your environment, and today you’ll connect with someone who can help you broaden your knowledge. The more you know the more comfortable and confident you feel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Have a talk with your thoughts. The unsupportive ones have been taking up too much real estate in your brain. Ask for all supportive notions to come forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It does no good to dwell on your dissatisfaction with the way things are. An ailing situation can and will get better once you land on a vision of the way you want it to be. Think about what a long-range solution would look like.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Something you understand, dear crab, is that the waves are not influenced by the wishes of man or mermaid or fish. They are obedient only to the pull of the moon. Likewise, you’ll respond to a higher force.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may suddenly realize that your situation calls for a different kind of energy than the kind you’ve been applying to it. You’ll cause a shift by demonstrating a different mood and tone.

Others will follow your lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Explore your curiosities. Today it’s as futile to resist a natural attraction as it is to defy a physical force like gravity. Besides, maybe there’s a good reason you want what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have many regrets, because you realize that you can, at any point, make a new choice. Even if you can’t take on a new venture at this time, it’s never too late to be who you want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Recognize that even though your feelings are real, they may not pertain to the current situation. Triggers from the past may still be influencing your reaction to the present.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be excellent at doing what’s right in front of you. If it’s next to you or behind you, you’re going to assume someone else is handling it or that it’s already been dealt with.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Aug. 27, the 239th day of 2013. There are 126 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 27, 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa erupted with a series of cataclysmic explosions; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

On this date: In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces, who ended up being forced to retreat two days later.

In 1859, Edwin L. Drake drilled the first successful oil well in the United States, at Titusville, Pa. In 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas.

In 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Pact was signed in Paris, outlawing war and providing for the peaceful settlement of disputes.

In 1939, the first turbojet-powered aircraft, the Heinkel He 178, went on its first full-fledged test flight over Germany.

In 1942, the Times of London published an editorial calling on the British government to promote the production of penicillin, the first mention of the antibiotic by a newspaper.

In 1957, the USS Swordfish, the second Skate Class nuclear submarine, was launched from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine.

In 1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus in December 1962.

In 1963, author, journalist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois died in Accra, Ghana, at age 95.

In 1967, Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles, was found dead in his London flat from an overdose of sleeping pills; he was 32.

In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-yearold grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.

In 1989, the first U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. — a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1.

Ten years ago: A granite monument of the Ten Commandments that became a lightning rod in a legal storm over the separation of church and state was wheeled from the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court building as protesters knelt, prayed and chanted, “Put it back!” In Chicago, a man who had been fired from an auto parts warehouse six months earlier came back with a gun and killed six employees before being shot dead by police. Thirty-nine people died in a stampede at an Indian religious festival.

Five years ago: Barack Obama was nominated for president by the Democratic National Convention in Denver. A federal judge in Boise, Idaho, sentenced longtime sex offender Joseph Edward Duncan III to death for the 2005 kidnapping, torture and murder of 9-year-old Dylan Groene.

One year ago: Republicans opened their national convention in Tampa, Fla., a day late, then immediately adjourned as Tropical Storm Isaac surged toward New Orleans and the northern Gulf Coast.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 46 years old and have one problem. I HATE sex.

Everyone, including my boyfriend of seven years, thinks there’s something wrong with me. I’m sure there is, but I have hated having sex since I was first intimate. I can’t believe he has stayed with me this long.

I don’t like to be touched by anyone. As soon as someone gets close, I move away so they don’t accidentally brush against me. I force myself to have sex with my boyfriend and pretend I enjoy it because I know it’s not fair to deny him.

But the whole time we are being intimate, I’m thinking, “Is this ever going to end?” What is wrong with me? -- Maryland Miss Dear Maryland: Sex should be a pleasurable activity. There are people who are disinterested or ambivalent about sex. But someone who dislikes being touched may have psychological issues that were not resolved or sensory issues that were never addressed. We commend you for being willing to work on this. Please talk to your doctor and also contact AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) at aasect.org. They may be able to guide you toward a healthier, happier outlook.

Dear Annie: I am a first-time grandma to a beautiful baby girl. We live in the same town. I offered to be the caregiver at their home, but my daughter-in-law prefers to take the baby with her on a 50-mile round-trip to a daycare near her job. I was devastated by that decision, but accepted it.

What I’m having trouble understanding is how often I see the baby. During my few short visits, I have not felt comfortable in their home. I communicate with my son because my daughter-in-law seems very standoffish. I told my son I don’t wish to be a burden on their household routine, but twice I made arrangements to see the baby only to be told on the day

To Serve You Better Thank You, Mike Charron/Owner 767-0092

of that visit that I had to leave after 30 minutes. The last visit was five weeks ago.

I phoned my son and begged to see the baby more often.

He agreed at the time that once a week (depending on their schedule) was not unreasonable. I set up an hour visit for this week, and when I arrived at their door, they were preparing to leave the house. My visit, which meant so much to me, was totally forgotten.

My son and his wife have known each other only 13 months. Between the pregnancy, the marriage, the birth and moving into their home, I know it’s been stressful, so I’ve tried to be patient. What is a reasonable expectation for visiting the new baby? -- Want To Know My Granddaughter Dear Want: There is no definitive timetable for visiting. It depends on the flexibility and schedules of those involved, as well as the willingness of the participants. Your daughter-inlaw apparently is not keen on having you around, and your son is caught in the middle. Don’t push. Instead, make it your goal to become closer to your daughter-in-law. Be her friend.

Call her. Ask how she’s doing. Let her know you value her and think she’s a good wife and mother. See whether you can arrange an excursion to the mall or a concert -- whatever interests her. If you can help her to be more comfortable around you, the visits will likely increase.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Need Help,” the teenager who has mood swings, that most teachers check their email throughout the summer and during school vacations. No matter when it is, most of us are just an email away. We still care about our students, regardless of whether it’s summertime, winter vacation or spring break. That letter broke my heart.

It sounds like a student I had this year. I hope he emails me.

-- Teacher in Louisville, Ky.
