Stabbing incident in South Portland leads to Portlanders’ arrests Daily Sun Staff Reports An argument at a residence at 1478 Broadway in South Portland around 1 a.m. Thursday left a woman with a stab wound to her leg and two suspects under arrest, police reported.

The victim, a 42-year-old female, sustained one stab wound to her leg.

She was evaluated and treated by rescue and was not transported, police said. The suspect had fled along with other people who had been present, police said.

Officers located them near the Derrig area.

Following an investigation, Alanna Derrig, 20, of Portland was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, violation of conditions of release and receiving stolen property, following the early Lester Thursday morning incident, police said.

Raymond Lester, 27, of Portland, Derrig’s boyfriend, was arrested on two felony warrants charging failure to appear in court to answer charges of forgery and theft by receiving, police reported. Derrig was visiting the victim and an argument erupted, according to Lt. Todd Bernard.

“The suspect wore out her welcome, and there was an argument over whether she was going to leave or not,” Bernard said.

A knife was used in the assault, he said.

Derrig had her boyfriend, Lester, with her at the time in the apartment of the victim, he explained.

Lester was arrested on warrants out of Portland, he said.

The charge of receiving stolen property against Derrig stemmed from evidence found during the investigation, Bernard said.

“She was in possession of some credit cards that didn’t belong to her that were reported stolen last month,” he said.

The incident is still under investigation and more charges may be forthcoming, police said. No bail was allowed for Derrig, according to the Cumberland County Jail.

South Portland burglar broke in through A/C unit In light of a recent burglary, residents are being reminded to secure possessions and particularly make sure air

conditioners still in windows from the summer are locked into place.

In South Portland, police officers issued the reminder as officers are seeking the public’s help in identifying possible burglary suspects.

Det. Jeff Levesque reported that in the overnight hours of Sept. 7 a home was broken into while the residents were away. The air conditioning unit was pushed in and thousands of dollars of jewelry, collectibles, and other items were stolen, he said. Some of the most identifiable items include: a carved ivory elephant, a Michael Jackson tour jacket, opal stones, pre 1930s dollar currency, and Massachusetts Bay “8 dollar notes” from 1780.

Anyone who has any knowledge of a person in possession of, trying to sell, or newly acquiring any of these items is urged to contact Levesque at 799.5511 ext. 7243, or provide a confidential tip at 347.4100 or sppdtips@ southportland.org

Officers investigate bomb threat at Gray high school On Thursday around 8:45 a.m. at New Gloucester High School (MSAD 15) in Gray, law enforcement officers investigated a bomb threat, but found no device, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The sheriff’s office was notified by the administrative staff of a bomb threat to the high school, after school officials were notified that a note was left in one of the bathrooms indicating a bomb threat to the school, the sheriff’s office reported. It was decided by those officials to be proactive, and evacuated the high school. With the assistance of the Portland Police Department and Maine State Police Bomb K9’s, the entire building was searched and no explosive device or devices could be located.

School officials resumed school activities. This is still an ongoing investigation being conducting by the sheriff’s office. For how to report information, visit http://www.cumberlandso.org or call 774-1444.

Too busy singing

Recently, I was reading an article on the life of the late Monkees band member, Davy Jones, who died last year. When finishing I felt the need to walk out to my truck, unearth the Monkees CD from the bottom of the storage bin, pop it in the player, and head out for a drive.

Jones, the charismatic, bubbly, pint-sized Brit who anchored many of the Monkees hits in the late 1960s, might just have been the last band member any of us expected to go first. He was quick with a smile, and had a quip always at the ready.

From the Over the speakers came the familiar theme: “Hey, hey we’re Stacks the Monkees,/People say we monkey around,/But we’re too busy singing,/To put anybody down ...”

Of course, the irony of the Monkees is that they were never meant to be a music act per se. Capitalizing on the popularity of the Beatles, they were manufactured for American TV in response to the British group’s movie, “A Hard Day’s Night.”

Their potential was limitless: the show was a semi-spoof, a collection of goofy storylines involving a garage band in the most unlikely situations

Letter from San Francisco: Americas Cup prompts Ellison-Satan cafe debate It’s always a bit odd to be in a city that’s consumed by a sporting event you don’t really care about.

It can happen if you happen to be in London during one of those cricket tournamentes or matches or whatever they have.

And being in, say, Madrid during World Cup can remind you that, against all odds, there’s a sport more globally popular than football and, against all odds, it is also called football.

(Note to self: Create new sport; call it “football.”)

Thus San Francisco, the city of liberal politics and intuitive animosity toward the rich “one percent,” or at least those who didn’t earn their cash honestly via a high-tech IPO, found itself hosting the yacht race America’s Cup. It can be easy for Portlanders to see the City by the Bay as a sort of mega-doppelgänger of our City by the Bay. With the progressive politics and great coffee and occasional homeless folk, and with being defined by a downtown peninsula, it’s easy to feel right at home.

Maybe that’s why cafe conversation comes easily.

And if a few days of cafe focus groups are any indication, the take-away from the America’s Cup experience is one of hatred and open hostility. Not even the fans seemed to really care.

At one cafe, a young couple showed up in team New Zealand shirts. Asked if they supported the Kiwi crew, they replied “no,” but said they could not support “the Oracle boat” because of cheating. Plus the shirts were on sale.

See, that’s one place where sailing would differ from, say, the NFL. You might have had somebody abandon the Partiots during that Bill Belichick cheating scandal a few years back (he was fined $500,000 but was not booted from the league), but they would never casually embrace the Giants.

Another way it differs is spectators. The Reuters news organization noted the final event, held last week, “... gets under way after a disastrous summer that included a fatal accident, a startling absence of spectators and a cheating scandal that could yet cost Oracle Team USA the trophy, Ellison himself is nowhere to be found.”

How’s this for timing: Oracle reported poor performance for the financial quarter and, according to a wire service report, “Oracle Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison missed the call while his sailing team, Oracle Team USA, battled on San Francisco Bay to hold onto the America’s Cup. The New Zealand team won Wednesday’s match, leaving it just one race away from taking the trophy.”

At the famously literary Vesuvio Cafe in North Beach, the conversation turned to whether Mr. Ellison is actually evil, as in the personification of Satan, or merely an instrument of evil. A leading idea was that he was Satan’s go-for guy; you know, running out for smokes or to crush the spirit of the sailing fan.

From T-ball coach to life coach The term “life coach” has been tossed around quite a bit over the past decade. It sounds like a feelgood, warm and fuzzy type job but like anything else, it takes training, experience and relentless passion to be extraordinarily at something.

Enter Falmouth-based personal and professional life coach Deb Bergeron, who coaches individual and group clients with impressive job positions in many of the larger companies in the area. Her niche is high-achieving woman, but she also works with men and women from all socioeconomic walks of life. In a nutshell, Bergeron does targeted one-on-one, goal-oriented coaching, holds private and corporate workshops and is deeply committed to the art and practice of gratitude. She is also an expert in helping women wade through the empty nested stage of life.

“Empty nesting is a transition I like to refer to as the ‘fertile void.’

It’s an in-between place where something has ended and a new chapter is starting,” Bergeron explained.

“It’s an identity shake-up, rocking time for most women. And for a lot of men, too. Who and what they are is wrapped up in the kids. To have that rug pulled is a major life shift.”

Bergeron is in her early 60s and speaks from experience about the fertile void as she and her husband, Norman, have three grown sons thriving successfully on their own.

“When I became empty nested, I realized I had a chance to go on an archeological dig within myself to find out who I was at that point in my life,” she said, “Like all of us at that crossroad, I felt a little lost, a little scared, but I knew I was at a perfect place to meet my own needs and to nurture myself. Most women haven’t [had] that opportunity in years and don’t even know how to figure out what’s next.”

Initially, the impulse for many empty nested women is to frantically find ways to occupy their time, space and emotional energy that has become available overnight. Anxious to ward off what has been labeled overwhelming loneliness, lack of direction, feelings of purposeless,

Natalie Ladd

––––– The Wheels on the Bus feelings of uselessness and being completely lost, Bergeron offers advice contrary to the “take action” instant gratification that feels so intuitive.

“It may seem hard to fathom, but instead of jumping in and doing things just for the sake of doing them, this is the time to stop, slow down and take a deep breath. We don’t need to rush to fill the space because so many of us don’t know what we really want to fill it with,” Bergeron said. “A lot of us have put things on hold and this a true gift of time. We can go back to those things and see if they are still important. Many of the women I work with are rediscovering or even finding new passions.

They become aware of their talents and gifts and can reevaluate what’s important in making new choices.”

With life experience and maturity as inherent tools, Bergeron says “fertile void breathing time” is also when women learn without guilt or shame, they can give themselves permission to put self-care on the front burner. That may be as obvious as having time (versus having to make time) for exercise and focusing on their own health and well-being, or daring to bravely delve into personal and spiritual growth.

“Here is when many women tap into a deeper intuitive place and make choices based on the new story, or next chapter they have the power to create,” Bergeron said. “That is why I suggest really slowing down.

Life Coach and Wheels on the Bus expert, Deb Bergeron, and her adult children (from left) Nathan (34), Tyler (32), Deb and husband Norman, and Aaron (36). (COURTESY PHOTO)

It’s a rare opportunity to tap into the inner-wisdom, the inner-knowing and listen to figure out what’s next.

To discover, embrace and actually live the vision they wish to create.”

Admitting much of that is scary new territory, Bergeron offered suggestions for navigating the personal archaeological dig.

“Make a long and detailed dream list, no matter how obscure the things may be. So many of us have forgotten how to dream. Dream lists may include places to visit, things to see, activities to try, careers to explore, hobbies, attending seminars and meet-ups, and taking or teaching a class,” Bergeron said. “Making a dream list offers us the chance to completely ignore the voice within that tell us there are things we can’t do. It opens the floodgates to possibilities we thought were beyond us.”

When I said it sounded like a bucket list, Bergeron laughed off my characterization.

“Oh no. It’s so much bigger than a bucket list because it’s above and beyond just physically doing things like jumping from an airplane. It’s more like a life inventory, an intentions-can-come-true sort of list,” she

said. “These are the soul searching realizations that move us toward ‘doing, being and becoming’ something that is our rediscovered to newly found passion. It’s about moving to a place that previously had been unavailable for a variety of reasons, including have children at home.”

Bergeron’s insights and advice make sense to me. I’ve started slowing down and breathing to quell the fallout of the empty nest. I’m listening to my inner-truths and have started making a wild dream list.

After a few short weeks, I’m well on the way to discovering the rare artifacts hidden in my own innerarchaeological dig.

Let’s just say Indiana Jones has nothing on me these days.

Urge Congress to defund Obamacare, stop the damage of this horrible law Editor, Do you want to keep your doctor? Do you want to keep your health insurance (the insurance that you understand, that meets your needs, and that you can afford)? When President Obama wanted your support for Obamacare, he promised these things.

Are you unhappy that your health insurance premiums are skyrocketing (on average more than $2,000), although President Obama promised your premiums would go down by $2,500?

Millions of Americans are suffering because so many Obamacare promises are false. But now, if you object to President Obama’s broken promises, you are called an “extremist.”

Obamacare is destroying jobs, suppressing job

creation, and turning millions of full-time, into parttime jobs. Many employers who are struggling with increased, rather than lower, health insurance premiums are cutting workers, cutting spousal insurance coverage, or passing on increased costs to employees.

Facing new Obamacare regulations, restrictions and taxes, many hospitals, clinics, and companies working on new medical devices and techniques are cutting jobs and services ... which means poorer future healthcare for patients.

Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean and others now admit that Obamacare inserts, between doctors and patients, a government bureaucrat who determines if life-saving (e.g., cancer drugs) or lifeenhancing (e.g., hip replacements) treatments can be provided.

Obamacare taxes raise the cost of healthcare, especially for people with high medical expenses.

To provide insurance for 5 percent more Americans, Obamacare is harming the insurance and health care for the 85 percent of Americans who already had health insurance.

One of its authors, Senator Baucus, called Obamacare a “train-wreck.” Our country was far better off without Obamacare.

Are you afraid to be called an “extremist” for wanting to help avoid this train-wreck which harms so many Americans? If not, sign the petition at dontfundit.com and call or e-mail New Hampshire Senators Ayotte (202-224-3324) and Shaheen (202224-2841), and Congresswomen Shea-Porter (202225-5456) and Koster (202-225-5206); in Maine, Sen. Susan Collins (202-224-2523); and tell them to vote to defund and repeal Obamacare.

Pullen Fountain, the 18th century watering trough located on Federal Street, becomes a popular stop for the horse-drawn wagon in Portland. (DAVID CARKHUFF FILE PHOTO)

Horse and wagon tour The cruise ships are in. One of the options the passengers have for seeing the city is the horse and wagon tour. As a tour guide, I especially like narrating the horse and wagon tour because the slow and unhurried pace of the horses affords the people the opportunity to develop a real feeling for the city.

The horses are Belgian work horses named Ben and Joe. They look like palominoes who have a real job.

They’re not in it for the glamor. With fourteen cruise ship passengers, the weight of the wagon, two drivers, a

dog, and the tour guide, they’re pulling about five tons around the streets of Portland. Not bad for a couple of vegetarians.

The drivers are Ernie and Heather, who are from Stillbrook Acres, in Gray. They love the horses and make sure their needs are met before anything else. Ben and Joe don’t struggle all that much making their way around the streets, actually. It’s all in a day’s work for them.

The dog sitting erect on the front seat beside them has quite a different attitude, though. Her name is Paris, and

It was even argued that the Cup entries were not actually ships.

Clearly, they are not “yachts” as we know them, unless you define “yacht” as a boat/ship that costs more than $10 million and is sailed by someone other than the owner.

The “ain’t a boat” argument comes from how the “whatevers” sail. They leave the water, going airborne. If it does not move in the water, is it not a glider? That’s the way you know something’s a boat, you ride in the water. Otherwise it’s an airplane.

It doesn’t help that a bunch of San Franciscans never liked the idea of subsidizing a rich-folk yacht race. It’s unclear if that same group objected to their new NFL stadium, but others also note that Mr. Ellison can be “abrasive,” which seems harsh if you’ve not spent 30 minutes hearing the “Lucifer argument.”

Yet the television coverage seemed lovely. The bay well presented. Some races were postponed due to excessive

winds, creating at least some awareness of the safety focus. Sports will do that when people are killed or seriously damaged, just ask the NFL concussion committees.

As for the wind ... it is odd to cancel a race because the thing that makes the racing-things run is excessive. It feels like calling off a NASCAR race because officials discovered dangerously explosive liquids in tanks under the cars.

Granted, you can always find resistance to any sports event. There are folks who argue that all that stadium money could be used to help the poor, especially the newly poor who lost their jobs at the stadium.

But even so, the mood in San Francisco makes all the huge corporate murals look like those posters of Stalin in Russia, circa 1989. It will be many months before the dust settles, but in the world of competition this has been an epic fail.

being chased hither and yon by malcontents, and ending up OK in the end.

The group members originally were chosen for their acting ability and character fit, though all had experience as musicians or vocalists. Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith, and Davy Jones took the country and the world by storm when their Emmy award-winning show ran between 1966-68.

Even the Beatles were on record as fans, if not of the music, most definitely of the show’s brand of humor.

The highlight of the half-hour episodes were cuts of a few songs interspersed throughout the plot. The band would play and inevitably be targeted by bad guys, all with their latest Top 40 hit in the background.

Those same tunes came pouring out of my SUV’s sound system as I found a back road and tried to grab hold of the last bit of summer with the sunroof open and the windows down: “Last Train to Clarksville,” “Daydream Believer,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” and many more.

My older sisters brought Monkees fever home, and I was hooked. Back then, everything the group did became a fad.

During recess and lunch hour at school, my friends and I would re-enact the show’s latest episodes, all while singing songs working their way to the top of the charts.

Everyone had their favorite character. Mine was Mike; he was tall and different with the Texas drawl, but most of all he wore that green ski cap with the pom-pom on top. I drove my mother nuts until she relented one Saturday and took me downtown to buy that exact hat.

For the rest of the school year, regardless of the weather, I donned Mike’s green cover.

Still, the Monkees weren’t without issues, and a short column won’t fit their intricate history.

had become, the guys fought for music recording independence separate from the TV show.

They were mostly limited to vocals and faking their musical prowess, all as session players and tapes played the melodies while they provided the crooning.

But after 65 million album sales, and with the show cancelled in 1968, by 1970 it was all over. What begun, however, was the Monkees as legend and near-cult.

Sure, all the other “serious” bands of the era brooded their way into psychedelic history.

But the Monkees remained the upbeat figment of everyone’s imagination, a foot-tapping sunny-day troupe that seemed like every mother’s son out having fun.

Which is why fans and some critics can’t fathom that the Monkees aren’t yet enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their flame may have burned briefly, but when lit it

And the TV show was revolutionary: a precursor to the huge spectacle of music video brought to the fore by MTV and VH-1, a decade after the Monkees split. To this day it remains de rigueur for success in the recording industry. If that isn’t enough right there, then nothing ever will be.

I pulled back in my driveway after the brief retrospective, to the strains of Davy Jones serenading his legion of fans. I felt a few years younger than before my ride. In the end, that’s what the Monkees were all about.

Davy, here’s to hoping your ride was a smooth and you got a warm welcome from the station master, when you finally got off the last train to Clarksville.

Based on the tragedy Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago, a story of two young, star-crossed lovers, set in the social upheaval of post World War ll New York City. I don’t want to give the ending away, but found it interesting when leaving the show an elderly man leaned into his wife and whispered, “I thought musical theater was suppose to be light?”. This musical is all about the drama.

During the tour, I read them a few lines from ‘My Lost Youth’ she’s a Fancy Poodle who, unlike Ben and Joe, is definitely in it for the glamor.

Going up India Street from the Ocean Gate Terminal, I talk about Mr. Amato delivering Italian sandwiches by horse and wagon to the work crews who were constructing roads to accommodate the automobiles that were being introduced to the country at the time. A good story to tell riding by the site of his original store on a horse-drawn wagon a century or so later, especially when there’s a line of cars behind us.

At the head of India we take a left onto Congress, and after we cross Franklin Street there’s Lincoln Park, which is my cue to talk about the Great Fire of 1866, and how the park was created as a firebreak.

I talk a bit about the devastation and tell them that the fire started by two boys playing with firecrackers.

As a rule, I stay right away from politics and contentious issues, but at this juncture I can’t resist saying: “Now, would you believe that in their great wisdom our governor and state legislature have recently legalized the private sale and use of fireworks?” They shake their heads at that, and often someone will say something like: “Yeah, we’ve heard about your governor!” I smile and don’t say anything, but they all chuckle when I roll my eyes and look skyward.

Then comes a stop at the horse trough on Federal Street. The city turns the water on for the tours and Ben and Joe appreciate it very much. As do the passengers, who climb down off the wagon and stand around taking pictures of the horses drinking their fill. Paris demurs. She’s disdainful of the horses’ slurping and all the attention they’re getting and averts her gaze.

The passengers always seem to relax and get into the experience in a different way after the stop at the horse trough. No matter where they’re from — the U.S., England, Germany, Australia, Hong Hong, or wherever — they seem to want to chat a bit about home after they get back on the wagon. Exactly why that is, I don’t know, but I take it as an indication that they’re settling in and feeling comfortable.

When we get up to Monument Square I talk about the Wednesday farmer’s market and they invariably say that they have the same thing where they’re from. One lady from New York City said that the farmer’s market there keeps her connected to other people and she doesn’t know how she’d live without it.

Going through downtown I talk about how before “the malling of America” took place, downtown was a thriving retail shopping district, but now has evolved into the Downtown Arts District. They’re quite interested in that, but seem to take more notice of the

people walking the streets than they do MECA, the PMA, and the galleries and chic coffee shops. Again, exactly why that is, I don’t know, but it does seem to be characteristic of the species that we enjoy checking one another out. When someone from the sidewalk waves, which happens a lot, it’s as if they have greeted each person on the wagon individually and no matter what I’m talking about everyone’s attention gets diverted to waving back.

When we get to the Longfellow statue I tell them about how Longfellow was known as “The Children’s Poet” and was the rock star of his time. I have them imagine a time when all children had to set their young imaginations soaring was poetry, and every child in the land knew “Paul Revere’s Ride” and “The Song of Hiawatha” by heart. I tell them that the children happily donated their allowances towards the creation of the statue, and that the names of those who made donations are contained in a metal canister that is buried beneath the statue. They grow quiet after I tell them that. Once again, exactly why that is, I don’t know, but that’s when I read them a few lines from “My Lost Youth,” the poem Longfellow wrote about his memories of his boyhood years in Portland: “Often I think of the beautiful town / That is seated by the sea / Often in thought go up and down / The pleasant streets of that dear old town / And my youth comes back to me / And the words of that old Lapland song / Come over me like a chill / A boy’s will is the wind’s will / And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” Puts ‘em away.

The last leg of the tour is through the West End, along the Western Prom and down through Bowdoin and Chadwick streets, where the people “ooh” and “ah” at the historic homes. What they react to the most, though, is what happens when we get to Reiche School, on Spring Street. Many of the children have never seen a horse in real life, and run like mad along the schoolyard fence, waving and screeching like you wouldn’t believe. The passengers beam and outdo themselves smiling and waving back. It’s definitely the highlight of the tour.

Exactly why that is, I don’t know.

neighborhood. Michael Schweikardt’s set I fell in love with. The simplicity of the concept, with moving flats, created different spaces efficiently while allowing different perspectives within the same sphere of action. The set wasn’t only a masterpiece to work against but also extremely functional for the athletic choreography and fight sequences, designed to hang from and be incorporated as a member of the action. Richard Latta completes the layered texture with his lighting design, the final touch to underscore the world we are emerged into.

Jeffry Denman and Trey Compton (choreographer and fight choreographer, respectively) have created an evening of dance that is breathtaking. So much of the story is told in movement and not one foot was set wrong. The song “Somewhere” is set against an amazingly moving ballet, absolutely beautiful to witness. The dance in the gym really takes advantage of the era. Every dancer was on top of their game and the atmosphere on stage was that of each individual striving to out shine the dancer next to them.

Lauren Cannon played Riff’s girl and the first step onto the stage, she owned it. Rare is the moment when an actor, without uttering a line, is 100 percent understood by the audience

through the intense character created.

I knew who this young women was as soon as she moved, tough beauty queen with attitude. Her dance moves were delivered with such strength and precision it was hard to take my eyes off her.

The majority of this cast was in the Broadway revival or the first National tour of that production. I’ll be honest, that doesn’t always ease my mind.

Often actors can become bored or complacent, just “phoning in the performance.” Each and every actor was giving more than asked, and seeing talent at such a level with a script to highlight that talent is magical. Trust me, running the equivalent of a half marathon while singing an opera and bringing the raw emotion of a Shakespeare tragedy to fruition while maintaining the reality to manipulate the emotional impact ain’t easy. This cast of young people made it look easy. The emotional roller-coaster created whiplash and I have to admit the soda shop scene of the near rape of Anita was extremely difficult to watch. This production leaves no eyes dry when the curtain falls.

Carly Evan Hughes played Maria and hands down had the best voice in the cast. Ms. Hughes created a wideeyed young woman, strong-willed and less innocent than many renditions.

Gabrielle Ruiz as Anita was a commanding force and had an emotional

Old Port blaze

Subbasement fire displaces employees; meeting today

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Fire erupted in the subbasement of an Old Port building housing several businesses early Thursday morning, prompting state officials to offer assistance to displaced employees.

The 1:30 a.m. fire required firefighters to battle the blaze for about five hours, city officials estimated.

City inspectors reviewed the damage, and the city posted the entire building against occupancy until a structural engineer can assess the damage and secure the utilities, Portland city communications director Nicole Clegg reported.

One of the people in the building at 414-418 Fore St. called reporting smoke, according to Clegg, which set off the response. The building lacked sprinklers, Clegg said.

“The cause of the fire is being investigated by the fire department and the insurance company. We have ruled out anything suspicious,” Clegg said late Thursday.

The three-alarm fire prompted mutual aid from Falmouth, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Gorham and Cumberland.

Street and Co., Joe’s New York Pizza and The Dancing Elephant were among those businesses affected, Clegg said. On Facebook, Joe’s New York Pizza reported: “Early this morning, Joe’s NY Pizza and The Ice Bar was engulfed with smoke from the restaurant below. Hopefully no permanent damage will be done.”

And Portland Old Port posted: “3-Alarm Fire! affecting Street & Co, Joe’s New York Pizza, The Dancing Elephant! We hope Central Provisions was spared!”

The building is divided into three different properties owned by three groups: 414 Fore St., registered with the city under the ownership

of Gould Co.; a middle section owned by 424 LLC, which is where the fire originated, Clegg said; and 422 Fore St., owned by Richard Harding et al.

The building has both commercial and residential uses, Clegg said. Neighboring properties could be affected by utilities.

The building, according to city records, was built in 1900.

Julie Rabinowitz, spokeswoman for the Maine Department of Labor, said the agency was aware of five businesses affected by the fire, as well as some of the other surrounding businesses, shut down for a day or more, depending on the extent of damage. The agency issued an alert to employees and businesses in the area about temporary unemployment benefits and other assistance.

“If a worker believes that they lost wages because of the fire, they can file for unemployment benefits, and the Rapid Response helps them with that,” Rabinowitz said.

The Rapid Response team of the Maine Department of Labor has contacted the businesses affected by the Old Port fire in Portland, the agency reported. Workers who will be out of a job while the businesses clean out and rebuild may be eligible for unemployment benefits and other services.

There will be an informational meeting for those employees affected by the Portland fire, today, Friday, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Portland CareerCenter on 185 Lancaster St. Workers can call 771-5627 for more information. TTY users should dial Maine Relay 711.

A sea change at fire department’s marine division

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

It’s been a busy time for the Portland Fire Department’s Marine Division and not because of emergency calls.

The division began moving into its recently renovated quarters in the Casco Bay Garage earlier this month, according to Chief Jerome LaMoria, and is looking ahead to some staffing changes that came out of a performance and management study conducted by the city.

The renovation project, which started earlier this year, was recently completed and the marine division moved into its new home. LaMoria said the renovation work cost less than $300,000.

The fire boat that was replaced by the City of Port-

land IV had sleeping quarters, according to the chief, but when it was replaced, the division had to find other quarters and moved into a former storage space in the adjacent parking garage. The quarters were designed to be temporary.

“We recognized it was a stopgap measure,” LaMoria said.

The space had sprinklers and alarm system, he said, but otherwise wasn’t up to par.

The Fire Department identiLaMoria fied some money in the budget to rehab the space but held off pending an in-depth

study that looked at the PFD’s operations. Once the results came out and recommended that the marine division remain close to the fire boats, LaMoria said, they began construction.

Previously, the quarters had only one bed, a small bathroom and a closet, LaMoria said, and lacked a kitchen, showers and laundry facilities. Now, the quarters has three sleeping areas, a kitchen, bathroom facilities with showers, laundry facilities and storage areas, the chief said, as well as smoke alarm systems and automatic sprinklers.

“It really is a good, safe, clean and healthy place,” he said.

Aside from fixing up the division’s quarters, LaMoria said some staffing changes have been made see MARINE page 12

Francona’s approach draws raves in Cleveland

By Tyler Kepner THE NEW YORK TIMES

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Terry Francona spent last season away from the dugout, as an analyst for ESPN, he expected to gain perspective on life. He needed the break after eight seasons of exhilaration and exhaustion as manager of the Boston Red Sox, but his mind rarely strayed from the only life he has known.

“I have no perspective,” Francona said Tuesday, smiling as he spit tobacco juice into a Gatorade cup in the visiting manager’s office. There is no place he would rather be than here, managing the Cleveland Indians in a pennant race.

“He’s pretty simple as far as how he goes about his day: it’s baseball, baseball, baseball,” said the bullpen coach Kevin Cash, a former catcher for Francona’s Red Sox. “Whatever we’re doing, we’re talking about baseball. We can be playing cards or watching TV, but the conversation is always on this team.”

By now, Cash knows that when the coaches and Francona agree to leave for the field at 11:30 a.m., Francona will text them a half-hour early, eager to get going. Francona is always comfortable at the ballpark, and usually bored away from it.

Yet, as much as he loves the game, Francona’s bitter exit from the Red Sox made him wary of taking just any job. The team had folded down the stretch in 2011, undone largely by a toxic clubhouse and the breakdown of trust between

the front office and the manager. He was sure it would not be like that in Cleveland.

Francona had worked there in 2001, as a special assistant in baseball operations. He knew the team president, Mark Shapiro, and the general manager, Chris Antonetti. In time, perhaps, he could have built a strong relationship with another management team. With the Indians, it was already there.

“I wanted to be in a place where I thought it would bring out the good in me,” Francona said.

“So when I went in to interview with Chris, I knew. It’s funny, I hear people say, ‘Oh, he knew they were going to spend money or he wouldn’t have taken the job.’ I never asked.”

The Indians did spend last winter, signing the free agents Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher.

Both have had down years, by their standards, yet the Indians were a half-game out of a wild-card spot after Tuesday’s 5-3 victory over the Royals.

The Indians, whose pitching has come on strong in the second half, play the lowly Astros, White Sox and Twins after this series. That gives them a strong chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007, when Francona’s Red Sox stopped them one win short of making the World Series.

“We would not be where we are without Tito,” Antonetti said. “The impact he’s made on our organization — not just the major league team — has been profound.”

In semi-pro football, Sabers and Raging Bulls continue to win

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The first-place Maine Sabers (8-0) defeated the Lowell Nor’easter (4-4) 21-14 last Saturday in a game moved from Biddeford to Deering High School due to field conditions. The Sabers sit atop the four team Northern Division of the New England Football League.

Reserve running backs Wes Myers and Brandon Hovey ran well for the Sabers, with Myers running for three scores. Maine intercepted Lowell four times; two by Anthony Hicks and one each by Lamir Whetstone and Matt Morgan.

The second place Southern Maine Raging Bulls (6-2) shut out the New Hampshire Wolf Pack (3-5) 21-0 on Saturday, in Manchester. The Bulls beat the Pack 20-6 at home in their season opener. The Bulls were led defensively by cornerback CJ Conant who had an interception. On offense, quarterback Alexis Colon had one rushing touchdown and one in the air to wide receiver Josh Dibattista. Running back Phil Warren also had a touchdown.

The Bulls only losses this season have been to the Sabers 28-13 and 23 -21 The Sabers face the Boston Bandits (6-2) on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Thornton Academy’s Hill Stadium in Saco. The Bandits are the stingiest team in the league, allowing only 63 points in eight games.

The Bulls, who are on the road for their final three contests of the 10-game regular seasons, take on the Metrowest Colonials (1-7) on Saturday in Marlborough, Massachusetts at 7 p.m.

In the latest league Power Poll the Sabers and Bulls are rated No. 1 and No. 4, respectively in the 16-team league.

“It’s factual based on what appeared in the different media outlets over the years,” he said.

Half the book is action-packed, Chitwood said, and the rest talks about leadership.

The book later changes pace, Chitwood said, and becomes about his personal thoughts about policing in America, how to manage police departments in the current economic climate and his opinions of the criminal justice system.

“This book is basically an encapsulation of those 49 years,” he said. “It’s not a tell all.”

One vignette in the book talks about a drug raid at a Philadelphia apartment that led to Chitwood’s partner being shot in the arm before the perpetrator turned himself over to police, according to Camino Books, and another, Chitwood said, talks about the brutal murder and sexual assault of a little girl that led to him deciding to take a step back from investigations and parlay his career into a new niche.

Given that the book dwells on Chitwood’s 17 years as Portland’s top cop, the former chief said he talked about his experiences both good and bad, and some of the challenges he faced,

“We put together a book basically focused on my career,” Michael Chitwood said, that focuses on his early days in Philadelphia, briefly mentions his time as chief in Middletown, Penn., and takes a look at his time in Portland and Upper Darby, Penn. “I think it’s an accurate portrayal of my life and experiences,” Chitwood said.

including disputes with the district attorney and a Department of Justice investigation.

“At the end of the day, I left on a high note,” he said. “... Portland was a great experience for me.”

Chitwood said even after 49 years, he has no plans to call it quits.

“I’ve been very lucky,” Chitwood said. “... I attribute that to the people I’ve worked with and the people I’ve met.”

“I’m glad to say, 49 years later, I still love going into work as much as I did as a young rookie in 1964,” he added.

“I don’t know how many people can say that.”

in line with the recommendations of the performance and managements study. As PFD begins the first phase of the implementation report for some of the recommendations in the report, LaMoria said the decision was made to dedicate one officer, who is an advanced emergency medical technician, to Peaks Island and have three firefighters at the marine division. Previously, there were three fire-

fighters at the division and one went to Peaks while the other two stayed on the mainland. Having the third person at the division will make incident responses safer and more coordinated, LaMoria said.

In some instances, like in a recent weekend boat crash, LaMoria said it’s essential to respond with more than one vessel, which is difficult with just two people.

“It gives us a lot more capability,” he said.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Paul Gilligan

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s an all-or-nothing game today. Go for your first choice, and if you don’t get it, play a different game altogether. Don’t settle for your second choice -- that will only set the stage for struggles ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Focus on what needs to be accomplished for your personal fulfillment to the exclusion of all other riffraff. Comparisons or assertions about what others should do can only diminish you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Meeting up with others who share your unconventional interests will augment your fortunes in the weeks to come. If your tribe can’t assemble today, make plans to do so in the near future.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 20). If you have any vices, you won’t have time to tend to them this year because your goals keep you too busy. Domestic improvements include spending more time with people who brighten your environment. You’ll add a skill to your set and start making money with it in November. January highlights your new image. Cancer and Libra people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 13, 3, 22, 9 and 17.

by Jan Eliot

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is no absolute security in life. Chasing security will only exhaust you. Instead, you’ll accept your vulnerability and suddenly have the energy and vitality needed to enjoy the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re no bore, but thrill seekers should look elsewhere.

You believe that life needn’t be a roller coaster ride. Someone with a “no drama” policy will be attracted to your stable, grounded nature.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re trying to strike a deal that works on all levels in a way that’s fair to both parties. Arrangements in your personal life take longer to sort out because the terms are not written in a contract.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Popularity is pretty simple these days. The person who is the most fun has the most friends. You like the challenge of finding new and interesting ways to stay lighthearted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a certain amount of domestic work that comes with the basics of modern life. Make sure it’s equally portioned among housemates. A situation in which one person is constantly cleaning up after the other will get old fast.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In these last few days of the solar return through your sign, you’ll be filled with joy. Let it overflow.

You never know who is hurting and could be saved by your smile.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you become so obsessed with the symbol you want that you forget to ask yourself why you want it. How do you expect to feel once you arrive? What else could you do to capture that feeling?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just because you give your love unconditionally doesn’t mean you’re fine with people disappointing you. Let your loved ones know what you expect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No relationship is perfect, but you try to appreciate and play to each person’s particular strengths. Because of this, you wind up in a sweet arrangement tonight.

The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Friday, September 20, 2013— Page 15

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Sept. 20, the 263rd day of 2013. There are 102 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 20, 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was blocked from enrolling at the University of Mississippi by Democratic Gov. Ross R. Barnett. (Meredith was later admitted.)

On this date: In 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his crew set out from Spain on five ships to find a western passage to the Spice Islands. (Magellan was killed enroute, but one of his ships eventually circled the world.)

In 1870, Italian troops took control of the Papal States, leading to the unification of Italy.

In 1873, panic swept the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the wake of railroad bond defaults and bank failures.

In 1884, the National Equal Rights Party was formed during a convention of suffragists in San Francisco; the convention nominated Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood for president.

In 1911, the British liner RMS Olympic collided with the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Hawke off the Isle of Wight; although seriously damaged, the Olympic was able to return to Southampton under its own power.

In 1947, former New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia died.

In 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. was seriously wounded during a book signing at a New York City department store when Izola Curry stabbed him in the chest. (Curry was later found mentally incompetent.)

In 1967, the Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 was christened by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in Clydebank, Scotland.

In 1973, in their so-called battle of the sexes, tennis star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, at the Houston Astrodome.

In 1979, Jean-Bedel Bokassa (boh-KAH’-sah), self-styled head of the Central African Empire, was overthrown in a French-supported coup while on a visit to Libya.

In 1980, Spectacular Bid, ridden by Bill Shoemaker, ran as the only entry in the Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park in New York after three potential challengers dropped out in horse racing’s first walkover since 1949.

In 1996, President Bill Clinton announced that he was signing the Defense of Marriage Act, a bill outlawing same-sex marriages, but said it should not be used as an excuse for discrimination, violence or intimidation against gays and lesbians.

Five years ago: The Bush administration asked Congress for the power to buy $700 billion in toxic assets clogging the financial system and threatening the economy as negotiations began on the largest bailout since the Great Depression.

A suicide truck bombing at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, killed 53 people, including the Czech ambassador.

One year ago: On a day when thousands of angry Pakistanis tried to make their way to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, the embassy aired an ad on Pakistani TV showing President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton denouncing an anti-Islamic video produced in the United States.

Best in Maine. “You can’t go wrong with Wong”.

Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for 19 years, married for nine. I love him and never had any serious issues with our marriage until four months ago. That’s when I discovered that my husband was having an affair. He’s been lying to me about it for nearly three years, telling me his work schedule changed. We sought marriage counseling, but he wouldn’t go back after the first session.

He knows I have all of the details of his relationship with this woman. He says he’s trying to work on our marriage, but I am not sure he is sincere. I thought I could trust him, and he ripped my heart out.

Annie, I have processed all of the disappointments and believe I can move on. But my husband says he wants to save our marriage. I don’t want to set myself up to be hurt like this again. What should I do? -- Need a Word of Truth from Him Dear Need: A man who truly wants to save his marriage would go back with you for counseling, work on the hard issues for as long as it takes and be completely transparent in all his dealings so you can learn to trust him again. Tell him that’s the deal if he wants you to stay. If he is unwilling to take those steps, it means he is not ready to change the mindset and behavior that led to the affair. We hope he will agree to do the necessary work. If not, please see a good lawyer and get counseling on your own to help prepare you for the next step.

Dear Annie: A few of your readers have written saying that restaurant etiquette has flown the coop. Well, here’s my gripe: Nothing bothers me more than watching an adult place a diapered infant on the table. There is nothing separating that diaper from the dishes. Restaurant tables are barely swept of crumbs before another customer sits down. I can only imagine what might leak out of that infant. Ewwwwww. -- M.L. Dear M.L.: There’s worse. We’re sure to hear from read-

ers who have witnessed infants being changed on the table while patrons were eating around them. We know parents appreciate those restroom facilities that are not only clean, but provide changing tables for just this purpose. There are also foldable, portable, washable changing pads that parents can bring with them and use anywhere (other than a restaurant table, please).

Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Venting in Oregon,” the couple that was disgusted and annoyed by the noise from the neighbor’s two toddlers.

I had a noisy, screaming young child myself at one time. I spent hours every day dealing with the continuous screaming and chaos. It was a real party to take him to public places, especially when I had to go to the grocery store. I never knew what kind of meltdown would ensue. I only knew that others in the vicinity would make comments about me, my parenting style, my child’s behavior and anything else unkind and negative that they could think to say, always making sure it was loud enough for me to hear.

I was trying so hard, and it truly disturbed me to be criticized openly by strangers who had no idea what my days and nights were like with this child. He was finally diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder and began to receive appropriate therapies. It turned out he was brilliant once he could focus properly. He is now an absolutely lovely person who is well liked and respected by people who know him.

So to “Venting in Oregon,” if you can’t help your neighbors with their children, at least try to be as patient and gracious as you can manage. No one really knows what goes on in someone else’s home. -- Been There, Done That

His role on TV’s ‘I Spy’ made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series, winning 3 Emmy Awards. In the 1980s, he again rocked the television world with ‘The Cosby Show,’ a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful series.

Congress Square’s future uses meeting

6:30 p.m. “Two public meeting options are available to members of the community to brainstorm and express ideas about Congress Square’s future uses and activities.

The city needs help from the community as placemaking partners in crafting a shared vision for this public open space which includes the intersection of High, Free, and Congress Streets, Congress Square Plaza, the H.H. Hay building plaza, the Portland Museum of Art plaza, and surrounding sidewalks and public ways. The goal of this process is to create a shared vision for Congress Square as an urban open space to better inform the redesign process. The public meetings will focus on activities and uses that might happen throughout the spaces within the square. Meeting format on both dates will be identical, please select one of the two meetings to attend. For planning purposes, please RSVP by Friday to (207) 874-8901 or ccameron@portlandmaine.gov. Specify which meeting date you plan to attend. Walk-ins will also be welcome.

For those who are unable to attend a meeting, add ideas at www.neighborland.com/congresssq or complete the online survey at www.portlandmaine.gov/planning.” First meeting: State Theater (enter via theater doors on Congress Street); second meeting: Wednesday, Sept. 25, Williston-Immanuel United Church – Fellowship Hall (enter off Deering Place through back door; Parking on-street or garage only). see next page
