Special delivery warns pet owners

BRUNETE, Spain (NY Times) — In the worldwide battle to get dog owners to clean up after their pets, enter Brunete, a middle-class suburb of Madrid fed up with dirty parks and sidewalks.

Some cities hand out steep fines. But in these tough economic times, the mayor here, Borja Gutiérrez, didn’t much like that idea.

Instead, this town engaged a small army of volunteers to bag it, box it and send it back to its owners.

“It’s your dog, it’s your dog poop,” Gutiérrez said. “We are just returning it to you.”

Until now, Brunete’s claim to fame, if it had one, was that it sustained heavy damage in the Spanish Civil War. But these days, this leafy hamlet has made headlines all over Spain. Residents say that strangers take note when they say they live in Brunete.

At a recent political event, Gutiérrez said, the mayor of Madrid sought him out.

“She said, ‘Well, it is not many mayors who think sending dog poop to voters is a good idea,’” Gutiérrez said. “‘How did you dare?’”

Gutiérrez shrugged. After nearly two years in office, he said, he had visited with some 220 citizens in their homes, and the subject of dog owners was the one constant complaint. As spring approached this year, when children started going to the parks again, he decided to try what many here are calling “direct marketing.”

The dog owners got their packages — white boxes bearing the seal of this town and labeled “lost and found” — within hours.

Signing for the curious parcels, they must have been intrigued, though surely unsuspecting.

So far, the boxes seem to be extremely effective compared with Brunete’s earlier campaign, which involved a remote control specimen (very lifelike) that was used around town to get people’s attention.

Obama urges continuing U.S. role in mortgages ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — In another sign that the housing market has strengthened, President Obama on Tuesday outlined his long-awaited ideas for overhauling the mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to significantly reduce the government’s risk in any future credit crisis.

In an appearance in Phoenix, Obama endorsed bipartisan efforts in the Senate to wind down the two companies and end their longtime implicit guarantee of a federal government bailout. That dread prospect, once thought improbable, was realized in the fall 2008 financial crisis; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, then bankrupt, were rescued by the government at

great cost to taxpayers, who only now are being repaid.

The presidentmade clear that he will only sign into law a measure that puts private investors primarily at risk for the two companies, which buy and guarantee many mortgages from banks to provide a continuing stream of money for lenders to provide to additional home buyers.

An acceptable measure also must specify the government’s role and liabilities for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and — unlike legislation in the Republican-controlled House — must ensure Americans’ continued access to a 30-year mortgage at a fixed interest rate.

House Republicans would let the market

determine whether to provide the longstandard mortgages, but the White House and the bipartisan Senate groups say that would make a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage harder to get and more costly.

After years in which the formerly formidable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their Congressional allies blocked proposals for payment of fees or risk premiums, Obama is calling for financial institutions to pay an assessment to the government on the value of mortgage-backed securities.

Under his proposals, the revenue would help finance assistance for borrowers and subsidize construction of homes and rental properties that would be affordable to lower-income Americans.

U.S., Britain withdraw Broad decline in obesity rate personnel from Yemen seen in poor young children LONDON (NY Times) — After days of alarms and embassy lockdowns, the United States and Britain on Tuesday stepped up security precautions in Yemen, with Washington ordering “nonemergency” government personnel to leave and the Foreign Office in London saying it has withdrawn its diplomatic staff in the capital of Sana “due to increased security concerns.”

The United States also urged its citizens living in Yemen to depart immediately. Neither the American nor British authorities said how many employees were affected by the decision to withdraw personnel.

The measures came a day after officials in Washington said the United States had intercepted electronic communications in which the head of Al Qaeda ordered the leader of the group’s affiliate in Yemen to carry out an attack as early as this past Sunday.

Consequently the Obama administration decided last week to close nearly two dozen diplomatic missions and issue a worldwide travel alert.

The British and American warnings were issued several hours after Yemeni military officials said that at least four men, suspected of being Al Qaeda members, were killed in what was described as an American drone strike in the eastern Marib region of Yemen early on Tuesday.

BALTIMORE, Md. (NY Times) — The obesity rate among young children from poor families fell in 19 states and U.S. territories in recent years, federal health officials said Tuesday, the first major government report showing a consistent pattern of decline for lowincome children.

The report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the latest to find declines in obesity among American children. Several cities have reported modest drops among school-age children, offering hints of a change in course. But gains were concentrated among whites and children from middle and upper income families, and were not consistent across the country.

Tuesday’s report covered the period from 2008 to 2011 and offered what researchers said

was the clearest evidence to date that the obesity epidemic may be turning a corner for 2- to 4-yearold children from low-income families. Children from poor families have had some of the highest rates of obesity, which have remained elevated even as rates among more affluent children in some cities have started to drop.

One in eight preschoolers in the United States is obese. Among low-income children it is one in seven.

The cause of the decline remains a mystery, but researchers offered various theories, like an increase in breastfeeding and a drop in calories from sugary drinks. In interviews, parents suggested that they have become more educated in recent years, and so are more aware of the health issues associated with being overweight.

Portland woman jailed after striking police car, driving down sidewalk, Westbrook police say Daily Sun Staff Reports A Portland woman remains in the Cumberland County Jail following an incident in Westbrook Monday evening that damaged four vehicles including a Westbrook Police Department cruiser, the police department reported.

At about 4:20 p.m. on Monday,a motorist alerted a Westbrook police officer about a van being driven erratically on Main Street. Moments later the officer observed the van collide with another vehicle near the intersection of Main and Speirs streets, police said.

The driver of the van, subsequently identified as 36-yearold Kelly A. Brennan of no fixed address in Portland, Brennan refused to stop, sideswiped a parked Westbrook Police Department cruiser and bypassed a construction zone on Main Street by driving down the sidewalk in front of Riverbank Park, police reported. While driving down the sidewalk, Brennan struck several poles and sheared off the van’s passenger side door, police said. Brennan struck a third vehicle and disabled her van near the intersection of Main and Spring Street, police said.

Brennan was arrested on multiple charges including operating under the influence, driving to endanger, reckless conduct, failing to stop for a police officer, refusing to submit to arrest, leaving the scene of an accident, refusing to provide correct name and date of birth and violation of conditional release. She was booked into the Cumberland County Jail where she is being held without bail pending a court appearance today.

Old Orchard Beach motorcyclist dies in crash with motor vehicle A motorcyclist from Old Orchard Beach died Tuesday morning in a crash at the intersection of Cascade Road and Ross Road in that town, Old Orchard Beach Police Department reported.

At 9:57 a.m., the Old Orchard Beach Police Department responded to a fatal motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Cascade Road and Ross Road involving a motorcycle and vehicle. Garon Murphy, 38, of Old Orchard Beach, operator of the motorcycle, was pronounced dead at the scene, police reported.

The other vehicle was operated by Jane M. Brennick, 58, of Saco. Brennick was transported to Southern Maine Medical Center for observation and released. The accident is currently under investigation, police said.

Portland trusts announce Casco Bay, Portland High scholarship winners Two city-administered trusts announced Tuesday the recipients of their annual scholarships.

The trustees of the Sylvan B. Phillips Trust and James L. Rackleff Trust announced that Portland High School graduate Quinn Lavigne and Casco Bay High School graduate Jowles Phanord will receive scholarships from the foundations, according to a press release. Corey Carmichael, a 2010 graduate of PHS, was also given an award.

“Rackleff and Phillips have left a wonderful legacy for Portland’s youth,” said Mary Zwolinski, Phllips and Rackleff Trusts trustee, in a statement. “We are delighted to award these funds to such promising young adults for their continuing education.”

Lavigne is attending Smith College and majoring in education; Phanord is attending Sterling College and studying sustainable agriculture and nutrition; and Carmichael is starting his senior year at Swarthmore and majoring in psychology and education.

The Jame L. Rackleff Trust annually gives awards to legal residents of Portland, and the Phillips Trust awards funds to aid a needy, worthy young men to obtain a college education.

Rackelff was an 1865 graduate of Yale University and founded the Cumberland Loan and Building Association, according to a press release. The building at 127-133 Middle St. bears his name.

Phillips, a Portland philanthropist, joined the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1886 and served as its president from 1933 to 1939.

Verrill Dana merges with the law firm of Friedman Gaythwaite Wolf Verrill Dana, LLP, with headquarters in Portland, announced that it has merged with the law firm of Friedman Gaythwaite Wolf, LLP. Verrill Dana now totals 118 lawyers in the firm’s five offices located throughout the Northeast, the firm reported.

FGW’s trial lawyers and their clients will now have access to Verrill Dana’s comprehensive range of legal services.”

On Sept. 8, Victoria Mansion to present its first-ever Victorian Fair On Sunday, Sept. 8, Portland’s Victoria Mansion will present its first-ever Victorian Fair, managers of the historic site reported. An outdoor learning event

in the style of a 19th century fair, the event will offer both children and adults the opportunity to experience, experiment with and interact with technologies, arts and customs of the mid-to-late 1800s.

The event will include a broad variety of exhibitors, including a reenactment of a Civil War encampment, Victorian songs performed in period costume by an a capella group, blacksmithing demonstrations, historic woodworking, tintype photography, theatrical performances, music, and period knitting lessons, along with other exciting surprises.

Constructed in 1858, Victoria Mansion is one of America’s finest surviving examples of architecture and interior design from the mid-nineteenth century. Its opulent original interiors and furnishings by renowned designer Gustave Herter remain more than ninety percent intact. The Mansion was established as a museum in 1940, and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

“We’re really looking forward to this event,” said Victoria Mansion director Tom Johnson. “The Mansion is internationally known for its collections, but as a house museum we rarely get to offer visitors the chance to handle the historic objects or experience them from a tactile point of view. That can sometimes be a challenge, especially with younger visitors, so we think this event will provide that chance to learn by playing with things children were familiar with in the 1800s.”

The Victorian Fair will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 8 at Victoria Mansion, 109 Danforth St., Portland. Admission is free for children accompanied by an adult, and $10 for adults. Admission for college and graduate students is $5 with schoolissued ID.

––––––––––––– COLUMN –––––––––––––

The A-Rod problem I started writing a column for The Times about a decade ago, and I endured a tough first few months. That was, in part, because, like anybody starting a new job, I wasn’t sure I could pull it off.

So, especially in the first few months, I had a self-preoccupied question on my mind: How am I doing? There was no noncrazy-making answer to that question. I was always looking for some ultimate validation, which, of course, can never come. But, after a little while, I settled into a routine and my focus shifted from my own performance to the actual subjects I was writing about. This shift from performance to subject may not have made the columns any better, but it sure did improve my psychic equilibrium.

That period was a lesson in the perils of self-preoccupation.

––––– I think of this because of the Creators news on Monday about Alex Syndicate Rodriguez’s suspension from baseball through the 2014 season. Judging from the outside, the rest of us are pikers of self-preoccupation next to A-Rod. When you see him standing on deck or running off the field at the end of an inning, you see a man who seems to be manufacturing his own persona, disingenuously crafting a series of behaviors designed to look right.

When he gives a press conference, he doesn’t look like a man giving a press conference. He looks like a man giving a performance of giving a press conference. Even his off-the-field life — dating Madonna, partaking in soft-core kabbalah, dragging along his publicists and entourage — leaves the impression that he is always observing himself, and measuring to see if he lives up to the image of a superstar.

Rodriguez was a baseball prodigy from his earliest years. He batted an insane .505 his senior year in high school and had up to 100 scouts at every game. When he was drafted first over all by the Seattle Mariners, he hired the superagent Scott Boras, who damaged whatever chances Rodriguez had of become a normal human being.

Bearing the cross ...

Guest columnists from the Greater Portland hospitality community are always welcome to spew forth here. Many of you folks are creative, talented and artistic and while a comic strip or live performance art piece would be worthy forms of expression, no one has stepped forward as of late. Thus, I continue to carry the torch for the rest of us.

Concurrently, I shoulder a good deal of criticism from the unindoctrinated, those who have never owned a pair of Danskos, and mockery from haters who believe the customer is always right — even when they really, really aren’t.

Then there’s the insider-out flack for spilling industry secrets.

It manifests itself in the form of residual crap for a tell-all column written in early 2010 explaining the wide-spread, vehemently denied five-second rule (Don’t know what it is? Ask any server — but me — next time you go out to dinner). I encountered it again just last week when an off-duty chef drunkenly waved his stubby finger and called me a “narc and a finko” on his way out the door.

He also kept calling the woman next to him “Lady Gaga” and left without paying his tab.

Natalie Ladd ––––– What It’s Like

Still, many of my restaurant brothers and sisters have approached me with pet peeves, obscure suggestions and tearful pleas to inform and educate the public about transgressions that make the job a living hell.

Mike from Shay’s is beside himself with the written-aboutto-death, yet still all-too-common problem of regulars who camp out and monopolize a limited number of tables from happy hour to last call. Come on people! He doesn’t sit in your barber chair all day long or shut off his car at the toll booth. Mike is a doll, and a hell of a cosmo shaker, who never would (and shouldn’t have to) say anything directly. He is gracious to a fault and sadly both his income, and that of the house is limited by people who just don’t get it.

Francine is a life-time server at a seasonal breakfast spot on

the beach and almost tackled both Bad Dog and me at the Farmer’s Market in Deering Oaks last week. “Oh My God! You write that column in The (Not This Paper), don’t you? Please tell people it’s just wrong to ask for hot water and double wedges of lemon when practically all we sell is coffee.

Then, they want me to keep refilling it for free.” I told her I worked for “The Portland Daily Sun,” feel her pain and would indeed share her plight. Then I asked why she doesn’t suggest a minimal surcharge be printed on the menu for just lemon and hot water orders since lemons are 79 cents each at Shaw’s this week. She said, “We can’t do that. People would be so mad.”

Another case of representation is for one of my favorite co-workers who has been in the business for decades. She regularly deals with the frustration and embarrassment of her in-laws and occasionally other family members sashaying in literally two minutes before we’re ready to shut off Tony Bennett and put the chairs up.

Like Mike and Francine, she’s far too well-mannered and polite to ever say anything. Throw in the see LADD page 5

Rodriguez’s preoccupation was not with team, it was with self BROOKS from page 4

Boras turned him into a corporate entity. In her book “A-Rod,” Selena Roberts reported that, in the middle of his first contract negotiations, Boras had Rodriguez read a statement accusing the Mariners of being “low class.” In other words, he was told to attack his first organization in order to squeeze a few dollars out of them. From the beginning, Rodriguez’s preoccupation was not with team, it was with self.

Rodriguez then retained a guru named Jim Fannin, who further isolated him from his teammates and who molded him according to a selfconscious, prefab self-help formula.

By the time Rodriguez became a free agent, he was the marketing facade of A-Rod Inc. When negotiating with the Mets, Rodriguez’s handlers asked for the use of a private jet, a special hotel suite when on the road and a personal marketing staff. By the time he reached the Texas Rangers, according to Roberts, a clubhouse attendant was required to put a dab of toothpaste on his toothbrush after every game.

Of course, this sort of egomaniacal behavior

alienated him from his teammates, isolating him in the zone of his own self-concern. He was always the most talented player on the field but never a leader. He developed a reputation for caring more about personal stats than team wins.

Even when he tried to be a good teammate, that was little naturalness or spontaneity. Self-preoccupied people hit the right notes, but often so hard that they sound tinny. Self-preoccupation creates an ego that is at once overinflated, insatiable and overly sensitive. Self-preoccupation also seems to make it hard for supremely talented people like A-Rod to deal with their own talents.

One of the mysteries around Rodriguez is why the most supremely talented baseball player on the planet would risk his career to allegedly take performance-enhancing drugs?

My theory would be that self-preoccupied people have trouble seeing that their natural abilities come from outside themselves and can only be developed when directed toward something else outside themselves. Enclosed in self, they come to believe that their talents come from self, are the self. They have no outside criteria that tells them what their talents are for or when they

One of the mysteries around Rodriguez is why the most supremely talented baseball player on the planet would risk his career to allegedly take performance-enhancing drugs? are sufficient. Locked in a cycle of insecurity and attempted self-validation, their talents are never enough, and they end up devouring what they have been given.

As Rodriguez’s former manager, Joe Torre, once wrote, the really good hitter has to “concern himself with getting the job done, instead of how it looks. ... There’s a certain free-fall you have to go through when you commit yourself without a guarantee that it’s always gong to be good. ...

Allow yourself to be embarrassed. Allow yourself to be vulnerable.”

At every step along the way, Rodriguez chased self-maximization, which ended up leading to his self-destruction.

onions on the cheese plate. With their most recent Living Social deal, they graciously allowed people to buy up to three $10 vouchers (and three more as “gifts”) for $20 worth of food and drink to be used at brunch. The fine print states brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and “reservations are required and subject to approval.”

I found that last bit of information to be a compelling and convincing reason to purchase the allotted three vouchers as LFK serves communal-style at long tables in close and cozy quarters. Having waited for seating at LFK on more than one occasion, the thought of doing so while semi-hung over and ravenous for breakfasty-food (think Bintliff’s in the late ‘90s) is unappealing for sure.

The pickle of which I speak? Upon calling the restaurant I was told reservations are not accepted and the printed requirement was in fact a misprinted

error on the part of Living Social. However, Living Social maintains all information on deals and vouchers is signed-off on by each establishment, and I know for a fact their contracts would give any second-year law student a migraine.

Ninty-nine percent of the time I find good reason to side with restaurant policies but in this case, not so much. LFK needs to suck it up, make a precise, sectioned seating chart and give everyone who bought their voucher a designated hour-and-fifteen minute window of delicious brunch time opportunity.

In my view, Summers was wrong about women in science. But those who would damn him for it, those who would hold it up as a reason for why he is not qualified to lead — whether it’s Harvard or the Fed — are guilty of an even more serious wrong.

For all the pious talk you hear from professors about academic freedom, academia is not a very “free” place. I hate racism and sexism, but the answer is debate, not denunciations; the answer is to prove your case, not punish those who disagree for daring to speak out. If Summers loses out on the Fed chairmanship because he dared to raise a very troubling question (he raised it; he did not purport, even then, to answer it), his critics should understand that they are doing women a grave disservice.

I will spend the rest of my life fighting for equality for women. It is a battle I once thought would be over by now. But it will never be over if men who dare to disagree with me and my feminist colleagues are punished for it, if presidents and professors and students are penalized forever for speaking out.

Larry Summers is a brilliant economist. Like most of us, he isn’t right about everything. But the nation should not lose out on his talents because he was wrong about a politically sensitive point. We will not achieve equality by chilling debate and punishing those who disagree with us. Quite the contrary.

Perhaps it will be an easier pitch to scrounge guests columnists if all are also encouraged to share the good. Yes, there’s the fun, the unique and the “magic” that is the light to the dark of what we in the restaurant business do, and just as much in how we do it.

Goodwill unveils art installations in Bayside

Word art installation was designed by graduate of the Maine College of Art with community participation

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Grow together. We are one.

Never give up.

Those phrases are thought to capture the essence of Portland’s Bayside neighborhood enough that they’ve been emblazoned on the walls of Goodwill Industries of Northern New England and on a fence line on Portland Street.

The new word art installations by artist Hannah Sherwood were unveiled Tuesday.

“We are excited to unveil Hannah’s word art installation; the words chosen were a true product of community

collaboration,” said Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, in a statement.

“We hope the word art will keep the Bayside community inspired, as they inspire us.”

Rich Cantz said Goodwill, the residents and other groups want to make the neighborhood a better place to live, and putting up the art installations is an avenue toward that goal.

“We’re really proud of it,” he said.

Cantz, vice president of strategic development and

public policy at Goodwill, said the nonprofit was looking for a way to help brighten up the area and get the neighborhood involved in a project.

Working with the Bayside Neighborhood Organization, residents and other community members, he said, they

decided to pursue an art project, contacted the Maine College of Art and eventually contacted Sherwood.

The art installation was designed by Sherwood, a graduate of the Maine College of Art. Sherwood said she started doing word art

as a part of her senior thesis at MECA and created five pieces in Portland. She said the people at Goodwill remembered her work and contacted her to do the ones in Bayside. see ART page 9

Development options open up for city’s eastern waterfront Boatyard move opens the door to rezoning, mixed use development

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

A limited liability company that bought the Portland Marine Company Complex last week does not have a “definitive plan” for the 10-acre waterfront parcel, where the Portland Flower Show and a host of other events have been held, according to a principal investor.

But even without a specific blueprint, development is expected to “fulfill the vision of the Eastern Waterfront Master Plan,” said Jim Brady, a member of the limited liability company, Maine CPB2 LLC, which finalized the purchase last Tuesday. The Eastern Waterfront Master Plan is a city road map for making the eastern waterfront area near India Street and Munjoy Hill “a walkable and connected part of the city,” according to this 2006-era document.

For now, don’t expect major changes at the site, which is also home to Portland Yacht Services and the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum. The former owner, Phineas Sprague, will be a tenant leasing the site from the new investment group owners while he readies his own development — a double-the-size version of his Portland Yacht Services — on largely vacant parcels of land near the Casco Bay Bridge on Commercial Street.

“For the time being, things will remain the same,” said Brady.

Brady, who lives in Yarmouth and has a history of developing high-profile sites as president of Olympia Development, said the limited liability company consists of four members, including majority controlling interests, Brady and the Prentice Organization, a Yarmouth-based family. Casey Prentice founded the Prentice Organization in 2009 and is general manager at the Chebeague Island Inn. His father, Dick Prentice, works at Pierce Atwood law firm’s real estate group.

Brady said not much planning has been possible “because this transaction came together fairly quickly and was mostly precipitated by the desire of Phin to move to his new yard.”

Selling the Portland Yacht Services property helped “facilitate his ability to move forward quickly.”

Sprague agreed, saying, “I needed a place to put the boatyard, so it made sense to sell this property to move the boatyard.”

Portland Yacht Services, described on its website as a full-service boatyard and marina founded in 1981 by Joanna and Phineas Sprague Jr., met its practical limits for a mix of events and marine services, Sprague said.

“I think that we’re absolutely full now in terms of boats, the events are competing with the boatyard, and the events are really a better thing to preserve the buildings with, so something had to give,” he said. “The (city’s) master plan basically says they wanted a higher and better use, so you have to listen to what the community wants.”

Sprague said he actually started Portland Yacht

“I needed a place to put the boatyard, so it made sense to sell this property to move the boatyard.” — Phineas Sprague, owner of Portland Yacht Services Services in 1978 when his family owned the property, and started his boatyard there.

“It’s a vibrant business, we’re growing, so I needed another place to expand into. We’re already full at 10 acres,” he said.

A boatyard on West Commercial While selling about 10 acres, Sprague is buying about 22 acres on Commercial Street, he said.

“It’s beautiful land for a boatyard. So my guys can have a future,” Sprague said, referring to his employees.

Ocean Classrooms, a sailing school that uses schooners to take kids sailing in the Atlantic, is expected to use the new facility — something Sprague highlighted in a press release about the move.

“The expansion of Portland Yacht Services will bring another dynamic change to Portland’s waterfront: a new home port and regular appearances by a fleet of ‘tall ships’ that include vessels such as the Spirit of Massachusetts and the Amistad, majestic sailing vessels that are used for innovative classrooms on the sea,” the press release stated.

“Portland is going to have its own square-rigger fleet,” Sprague said in an interview, calling the Ocean Classrooms initiative the most exciting aspect of his move.

Sprague detailed the transaction in his press release. He stated that he has finalized purchase and sale agreements with Pan Am Railways for about 14 acres of land on Commercial Street; and with Unitil, an electric and natural gas company, for an additional 9 acres of abutting land that will be combined and become the new home of Canal Landing, an expanded version of Portland Yacht Services that will be able to accommodate the repair of much larger commercial vessels up to 1,500 tons, including tugboats and barges.

At its current Fore Street location, Portland Yacht Services has been limited to repairing vessels no larger than 44 tons. Sprague said that 10-acre property, which includes 15 buildings and 1,000 feet of waterfront, was simply out of room.

“I have been trying to sell that property since 2007 because I saw the writing on the wall,” he said in the press release. “There just isn’t enough room there to accommodate all the events we host, a marina and vessel repair facility.”

The Portland Planning Board approved the Canal Landing project last year, Sprague noted, and he said he has hosted public meetings to discuss his development plans with neighbors, nearby residents and other waterfront stakeholders.

been talking about for several months,” Sprague said in the press release. “The sale of my Fore Street property puts me in a much better position to finalize a plan that will enhance Portland’s waterfront and give me the flexibility to repair vessels that today cannot be repaired here.”

Greg Belanger, executive director of the Ocean Classroom Foundation, said in the press release, “We are very excited that this plan is moving forward. Right now, we are forced to move around from port to port, but we have always envisioned having one home port for our fleet.”

Sprague described what would be “a state-of-the-art marine vessel repair facility on the city’s waterfront,” based on a plan he unveiled last year.

“I am very excited to see this project moving forward exactly the way I envisioned it last year,” Sprague said in the press release. “We have received a lot of support from the city for our plan to build something that is sorely needed in order to meet the needs of a working waterfront.”

The public should barely notice the change, Sprague added, saying all planned events at the Portland Company facility will continue as they have before, including operation of the marina and the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad.

In an interview, Sprague said he wasn’t sure about the fate of the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad. The historic railroad has entertained the idea of relocating out of Portland, based at the time on uncertainty over the possible sale of their museum.

“I’d love to see them stay in Portland, I’m not privy to their plans,” Sprague said in an interview. “I think they should be talking to these new owners and looking at these other alternatives,” he said. (An effort to contact the historic railroad by email failed to solicit a response.)

been used for numerous public and private events, including weddings, the Portland Flower Show and the annual Maine Boatbuilders Show, the sale of the Portland Marine Company Complex will allow Sprague to build his full service marine vessel facility on Commercial Street, he said.

“We’re starting to get the big boats into Portland because the yard will allow that,” he said.

Sprague said he hopes to have the new site ready by the end of September.

“There couldn’t have been more of a gentleman than Jim Brady, I”m so thrilled because he really understands Portland,” Sprague said, calling the Olympic yachtsman a “world-class sailor.”

Brady said he had talked with Sprague in the past about interest in the Portland

Company complex.

“When I was in my days at Olympia ... I had been in discussions with Phin in a very loose level dating back to 2007 or so,” he said.

Late last fall, Brady said he and Prentice “got together and were able to put a transaction together.”

The Eastern Waterfront Master Plan “sums up” a vision for the newly acquired waterfront parcel, Brady said, noting the LLC may “ultimately develop a mixed use project that fits within the vision of the Eastern Waterfront Master Plan.”

Zoning that was placed on adjacent land “allows a number of different uses from residential to commercial that could include offices and retail. They also allow hotels,” Brady noted.

At 58 Fore St., a waterfront special use zone is “more limited.”

City property was rezoned for the more diverse mix of uses, and Brady said, “We will be pursuing something along those lines.”

Mixed-use developments are familiar projects for Brady, who noted his history as president of Olympia Development.

The portfolio includes the Hilton Garden Inn on Commercial Street; the Baker Newman Noyes office at 280 Fore St., a six-story, 115-square-foot office building; and a 60,000-square-foot Custom House Square office/ condominium project.

“I’ve done a number of projects in the Portland market already, ranging from hospitality to office and retail,” Brady said.

Kevin Bunker at the Developers Collaborative in Portland partnered with Brady on the conversion of the former Portland Press Herald build-

ing at 390 Congress St. into a boutique hotel.

“At a certain stage I bought Kevin out, and I’ve been moving forward with the project,” Brady said, saying work is progressing toward a tentative 2014 start of construction and 2015 opening.

This project envisions a 110room luxury hotel at a property with a city valuation of $1.3 million.

Brady said he sees the waterfront development as “an exciting opportunity for the city and the working waterfront.”

The gradual transition of relocating Portland Yacht Services won’t be a hindrance, but rather a part of the timing.

“It puts us in a position where we have some time on our side to work through the process with the city to put the proper zoning in place,” Brady said.

“I was just kind of like a continuation of my project,” she said.

Cantz said Goodwill hosted a meeting for people to come up with ideas, they were thrown in a bucket and people voted on what they thought was best.

Andrewscottryan Deschambault came up with the idea, “Grow together.”

He said see the words it will make them feel better and treat people nicely.

Steve Hirshon, president of the Bay-

side Neighborhood Organization, said he’s happy with the project and thinks anything that can get people involved in the neighborhood is great. He said Goodwill is trying to provide outreach to the neighborhood.

“It’s really nice to see a nonprofit be engaged in the community,” he said.

Hirshon said the art installations look great, and in a neighborhood like Bayside, where there are some challenges, it’s nice to have projects that people can enjoy.

“People need to have a way to come together,” he said.

Bayside resident Andrewscottryan Deschambault suggested “Grow together’ for one of the word art installations in the neighborhood and it was picked for the Alder Street side of the Goodwill building.

A toast to rosé…

I was at dinner on Saturday night drinking a beautifully chilled glass of French rosé and offered to share it with one of my friends. She made a face and said “I drink real wine. I don’t like rosé it is too sweet.”

The way her face scrunched up you would have thought I was offering her potato salad that had been kept out in the hot sun for hours!

“Wow,” I thought to myself, is she ever missing out! So now that it is warm out and truly rosé season, I thought it would be a good time to demystify this often misunderstood group of delicious wines.

I can understand how the confusion could come about between rosé and other pinkish wines. Rosé looks similar to white zinfandel and pink moscato so therefore people often incorrectly assume roses are going to be sweet.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth! There are several wines in this group that I could chalk up to being some of the most bone dry wines I have ever tasted, namely French rosés from Provence. Roses like Chateau Beaulieu pair beautifully with salads, seafood, simply prepared meats such as poultry and pork, and with lighter summer fare.

Rosé wines are produced using the same black, red, and/or purple grape varieties that are used to produce red wines all over the world.

During production, winemakers alter the fermentation process and allow the grapes’clear juices to have very little contact with the grape skins. Typically the grape skins will be in contact with the juice only for a few days or even hours! When producing red wine, on the

other hand, the grape skins and juice are held in contact for a few weeks to a few months.

The result of this minimal contact is wine that is pinkish in hue, which resembles the color of white zinfandel or pink moscato.

Do not be fooled! Rosé wine has a delightful, dry flavor wherein lies its true beauty.

Whether its rosado from Spain, rosato from Italy or rosé from France, let’s raise a glass and toast to summer!

From Our Vine to Yours, Carrie & Amy

What We Are Drinking This Week Carrie-Rotari Brut Rose, an Italian sparklier that retails under $15 and just got 90pts in Wine Spectator. Deliciouso!

Amy-Loving the Chateau Beaulieu Rose mentioned in this article! Retails just under $13. This bone dry wine is made from a blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah grapes. Its bright salmon color and distinctive, curvy bottle shape typify its Mediterranean roots, and its clean, crisp, citrusy flavor makes it a delightful summer sipper! Serve it slightly chilled, but not too cold or else you’ll miss its delicate floral aromas and fresh strawberry notes.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

ever else needs doing, they do. You’re such a person today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Mysteries abound. You don’t always get the evidence you need, and that’s fine. How boring life would be without days like today, when all you have to go on is your best guess.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A person who is going through the stage you crossed several years ago will bring you back. There’s a chord that rings out from this person’s heart, and the same chord resonates in you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Again, the herculean task goes to you -- but you won’t be handling it alone. When you’re really trying to help people, assistance (celestial and otherwise) will be forthcoming whether or not you remember to ask for it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7). It’s your year of total focus. You’ll have to say “no” in order to make time for the “yes” you’re totally committed to achieving. A certain someone is happy to have made the cut on your list of important people and will lavish you with love. You’ll be traveling in the next six weeks.

October is your chance at a high honor.

Cancer and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 22, 24 and 39.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). This is not a time for submission. Stand up, or people will think you don’t care about your own needs and liberties. Of course you know you can make a difference. You do know that. ...

Right?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People imposing their values on other people makes you cringe, perhaps because you’ve seen enough of this in your lifetime. Luckily, strong feelings don’t always have concrete effects.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s been said that good friends are the best collectibles, though the person who said it didn’t realize how little care and feeding vintage Marvel comics actually need.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your sign mate Henry David Thoreau said, “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” This is hard to apply when you’re trying to get over someone. But maybe the one you should “love more” is you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you have to scream and shout to be heard, you’re saying something no one wants to hear in the first place -- but that doesn’t make it wrong.

Sometimes what people need is an alarm clock. You’ll definitely wake them up today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Conflict is not always negative, and sometimes it’s totally necessary. A hierarchy or style of working will be established today, so don’t agree to anything you wouldn’t want to be repeated tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Strength can look like muscles. But not everyone with muscles is strong in the ways that count most. Strength can look like sweat and tears, too. And sometimes it looks like a hug.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stick with those who have consistently pulled off the same thing you’re trying to pull off. You’ll learn something. You appreciate how beautiful it is when a plan comes together, even if said plan wasn’t yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Selfsufficient people are a joy to have around.

You don’t have to tell them what to do to help.

They take charge of themselves, and what-

The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Wednesday, August 7, 2013— Page 11

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Aug. 7, the 219th day of 2013. There are 146 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers.

On this date: In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into full-scale violence.

In 1927, the already opened Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo, N.Y., and Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, was officially dedicated.

In 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.)

In 1947, the balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki, which had carried a six-man crew 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean, crashed into a reef in a Polynesian archipelago; all six crew members reached land safely.

In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth.

In 1963, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy gave birth to a boy, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who died two days later of respiratory distress syndrome.

In 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson broad powers in dealing with reported North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. forces.

In 1971, the Apollo 15 moon mission ended successfully as its command module splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.

In 1989, a plane carrying U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, and 14 others disappeared over Ethiopia. (The wreckage of the plane was found six days later; there were no survivors.)

In 1993, the public got its first glimpse inside Buckingham Palace as people were given the opportunity to tour the London home of Queen Elizabeth II. (Proceeds were earmarked to help repair fire damage at Windsor Castle.)

In 1998, terrorist bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

In 2007, San Francisco’s Barry Bonds hit home run No. 756 to break Hank Aaron’s storied record with one out in the fifth inning of a game against the Washington Nationals, who won, 8-6.

Ten years ago: A bombing outside the Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad killed 19 people.

Five years ago: President George W. Bush, speaking in Bangkok, Thailand, praised the spread of freedom in Asia while sharply criticizing oppression and human rights abuses in China, Myanmar and North Korea; the president then traveled to Beijing to attend the opening of the Olympic games.

One year ago: Jared Lee Loughner agreed to spend the rest of his life in prison, accepting that he went on a deadly shooting rampage at an Arizona political gathering in 2011 and sparing the victims a lengthy death-penalty trial. Aly Raisman became the first U.S. woman to win Olympic gold on floor, and she picked up a bronze on balance beam on the final day of the gymnastics competition at the London Games.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I left my hometown when I was 19 and have lived in a nearby state for the past 27 years. Two of my children are grown and on their own, and my youngest currently lives with my ex-husband overseas.

My mother is now in her 70s and has many medical problems, lives alone and rarely leaves the house. I am also in a long-distance relationship with a man from my childhood who lives near my mother.

I am planning to move back to my home state to help my mother and also pursue this relationship. However, I am torn between moving back there and being able to see my children, who live in various places. It breaks my heart for my mother to be all alone, and I know I am running out of time to have her in my life. I also feel this man is “the one,” and I want to be with him.

Annie, I spent nearly 30 years caring for my kids. I plan to see them every few months and create a visitation schedule for my son to be with me. Am I being selfish to move away?

-- Torn Between Kids, Parents and Boyfriend Dear Torn: Absolutely not. You aren’t abandoning young children. Your kids no longer live with you, so you are free to go where you wish. As long as you can visit your children and work out a time for your youngest to be with you, you are under no obligation to remain in your current home.

You have spent 27 years taking care of your kids, and now you are quite unselfishly going to take care of your mother.

You deserve to also take care of yourself.

Dear Annie: I recently invited some friends to my home for an informal Sunday supper. We’ve known one another for 10 years and usually go out to restaurants. This is the first time we’ve had them over to our home.

Since then, I have not received any kind of invitation from them. Worse, one of them recently said they had such

a good time that we should do it again. But no one volunteered to use their home. Someone suggested I do it.

I have done a lot of entertaining in the past, and going over my guest lists, I realize that very few people have returned the favor. Before my husband died last year, he said flat out that he was tired of entertaining people who do nothing for us in return. One of our neighbors was invited twice to our home, and I have yet to be inside her house. Is reciprocity some old social rule that no longer exists? -- Still Waiting Dear Still: No, but many people no longer feel obligated to follow any social rules at all. We think your particular problem is home entertainment. Too many people are embarrassed by the condition of their houses or by their cooking skills. They don’t realize that their friends aren’t interested in comparing furniture and appetizers. They simply want to enjoy the company. The solution for you is to entertain in your home only those who will reciprocate, and socialize with the rest in neutral settings such as restaurants.

Dear Annie: “Too Good of a Cook” complained that her eight grown children and grandchildren visited often but never offered to help with the groceries or cooking.

My parents owned a vacation home, and each year, the family gathered for one long holiday weekend. It was not fair for our parents to host all of the families and feed them, as well. To ensure that everyone had a nice vacation and still contributed their fair share, each family was responsible for one day of meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. That meant they also had to shop, prepare, cook, serve and clean up.

This worked well for many years. Our parents have passed, but those were great years with warm memories -and tasty meals. -- Colorado River Family

Wednesday, Aug. 7 Eighth annual Teddy Bear Scramble

8:15 a.m. Spring Meadows Golf Club, at Cole Farms, Route 100, Gray. “Dyslexia is an under-reported disability, an inheritable neurological condition that affects language acquisition, processing and decoding. According to recent research, up to 20 percent of the U.S. population has learning disorders, and 80 percent of these people have varying degrees of reading disorders that qualify as dyslexia. Dyslexia is a disability in learning, not in intelligence and affects girls and boys equally. The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Portland has been in existence for ten years. School-age children are eligible for enrollment. There is no cost to the child or the family for this service.” http://cdcp.me/index_ files/Page500.htm
