Immigration advocates join debate BY DAVID CARKHUFF THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Business leaders here said they worry about the effect on Maine’s economy and its people if an Arizona-style “copycat immigration law” moves forward as proposed in the state legislature. In a press conference in Portland Thursday, members of the “Maine Compact,” a new group of business owners allied with civil libertarians, told personal immigration stories while urging a welcoming and business-friendly atmosphere from

the state’s immigration policy. “Maine does not need a bill forcing people to carry some form of identification,” said Adam Lee, chairman of Lee see LAW page 5 RIGHT: Adam Lee (left), chairman of Lee Auto Malls, talks about the Maine Compact, an immigration advocacy effort, during a press conference at the Cumberland Club Thursday.

Counting races changing (NY Times) — The federal Department of Education would categorize Michelle López-Mullins — a university student who is of Peruvian, Chinese, Irish, Shawnee and Cherokee descent — as “Hispanic.” But the National Center for Health Statistics, the government agency that tracks data on births and deaths, would pronounce her “Asian.” And what does Ms. LópezMullins’s birth certificate from the State of Maryland say? It doesn’t mention her race. Ms. López-Mullins, 20, usually marks “other” on surveys these days, but when she filled out a census form last year, she chose Asian, Hispanic, Native American and white. The chameleon-like quality of Ms. López-Mullins’s racial and ethnic identification might seem trivial except that statistics on ethnicity and race are used for many important purposes. These include assessing disparities in health, education, employment and housing, enforcing civil rights protections, and deciding who might qualify for special consideration as members of underrepresented minority groups. But when it comes to keeping racial statistics, the nation is in transition, moving, often without uniformity, from the old “mark one box” limit to allowing citizens to check as many boxes as their backgrounds demand.

Mubarak refuses to step down CAIRO (NY Times) — President Hosni Mubarak told the Egyptian people Thursday that he would delegate more authority to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, but he defiantly refused to resign his post, contradicting earlier reports that he would step aside and surprising hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered to hail his departure from the political scene. In a nationally televised address following

a tumultuous day of political rumors and conflicting reports, Mr. Mubarak said he would “admit mistakes” and honor the sacrifices of young people killed in the three-week uprising, but that he would continue to “shoulder my responsibilities” until September, and did not give a firm indication that he would cede political power. Mr. Suleiman, speaking a few minutes after President Mubarak, urged the crowds in Tahrir Square to go home. “Heroes.

Go home, go back to work. The nation needs you to build, develop and create.” But those crowds, having anticipated the president’s resignation, seemed unlikely to follow his lead. The mood, celebratory throughout the day, suddenly turned grim. Angry protesters waved their shoes in defiance — considered a deeply insulting gesture in the Arab world — and began chanting “Leave! Leave!”

Syria restores access Even if Loughner doesn’t testify, to Facebook, YouTube jurors may see videos, officials say (NY Times) — The Syrian government began allowing its citizens Wednesday to openly use Facebook and YouTube, three years after blocking access to Facebook and other sites as part of a crackdown on political activism. Human rights advocates greeted the news guardedly, warning that the government might have lifted the ban to more closely monitor people and activity on social networking sites. The move comes just weeks after human rights activists in Egypt used Facebook and other social media tools to help mobilize tens of thousands of people for antigovernment protests. Activists in Tunisia used the Internet in December and January to help amass support for the protests and revolt that toppled the government of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali.

TUCSON (NY Times) — Videotaped messages recovered from a computer at the home of Jared L. Loughner, the man accused of opening fire at a congresswoman’s public event in Tucson last month, could mean that a jury will hear from Mr. Loughner in his own words even though he is unlikely to testify at trial, law enforcement officials said. In addition to written statements by Mr. Loughner found at his residence, investigators have retrieved a cache of video recordings in

which he expounds on a variety of topics and mentions assassination, a law enforcement official close to the investigation said. “There are a lot of face-in-thecamera videos,” said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the case. “In some, he’s talking about assassinations, but I don’t think he mentions her,” the official said, referring to Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was critically wounded in the deadly attack and is considered its main target.

Authorities have been watching Rodriguez for two months, said Kevin Cashman, a supervisor with MDEA. “We obtained a warrant and had them in hand,” Cashman said yesterday in a telephone interview. “We did surveillance and saw him leave and

had him pulled over and then drafted and executed the search warrant at his residence on Powsland Street.” Cashman said the investigation is ongoing and that more charges are likely against Rodriguez, who is being held at Cumberland County Jail on $65,000 cash bail. Rodriguez, who police say has no prior drug trafficking convictions, is due in court today at 1 p.m.

MDEA makes more crack arrests in Biddeford, Saco BY CASEY CONLEY THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Two more people were charged with selling crack over the past two days in Biddeford and Saco, bringing the total number of crack or cocaine-related arrests to seven in the past two weeks, police said. Shantel Lacourse, 29, of Saco was arrested at her Pleasant Street home yesterday morning by drug agents and members of the Saco-Biddeford Special Services Team. In a news release, police said they found 5 grams of crack and $2,421 is suspected drug proceeds in her home. She was charged with aggravated trafficking in crack cocaine and taken to the York County Jail. In an unrelated raid Wednesday by agents from Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, Rishard “Shard” Mcilwain, 26, of New Britain, Conn., was arrested at an apartment on Pike Street after agents seized more than 11 grams of crack and $1,775 of suspected drug proceeds, police said. He is charged with aggravated trafficking of crack cocaine and taken to York County Jail. Both Lacourse and MciIwain are scheduled to appear in York Superior Court on March 23. Police say they have made seven arrests for sale or possession of crack and cocaine in Biddeford and Saco since Jan. 25.

Suspect arrested in Mass. in connection with fatal house ﬁre BY CASEY CONLEY THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

READFIELD — Authorities in Massachusetts have made an arrest in connection with a fatal house fire in Readfield early Wednesday morning. Steve McCausland, a spokesperson for Maine State Police, said in a statement that Massachusetts State Police arrested David Silva Jr., in Carver, Mass., yesterday afternoon. He is charged with murder, robbery and arson, but is being held in Massachusetts on a fugitive from justice charge, police said. Police say Silva lived in the house on Church Road in Readfield that burned down. Firefighters arrived at the two-story home at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday after a neighbor reported it on fire. Investigators found a body in the basement of the burnt-out home yesterday morning. Officials with the State Medical Examiner’s office in Maine say they need to conduct DNA tests to determine who died in the fire. Those tests are necessary because the body was burned beyond recognition. McCausland said Maine State Police traveled to Massachusetts last night after authorities in Marshfield discovered a truck there that belonged to someone who lived at the burned house.

Peaks secession deserves a real vote Editor, Lisa Penalver (“Peaks Island should oppose secession bill”, Feb 9, 2011) is correct when she says that “the voters of Peaks Island have never cast a vote to secede.” There have been referenda, unofficial polls, and petitions, but never a real vote. The reason for that is that there can’t be a meaningful vote until the city and the island work out binding terms of separation, and those terms are available to every island voter. That is the process initiated by the secession bill currently making its way through the legislature. Portland and Peaks Island would be required to work out the actual terms of the separation, and then those terms would be put to a final, binding vote on the island. It’s also true that, as Ms. Penalver points out, “There IS another side!” Some people want to secede no matter what. Others want to remain part of Portland no matter what. But many islanders just want to find out what the terms of secession would truly be, and have a vote on it once and for all. Whatever side of the issue you are on, it’s not going to go away until the democratic process is allowed to take its course, and islanders are permitted to vote on it. I understand why Ms. Penalver, or anyone else, might be opposed to secession. I can’t understand why anyone would be opposed to finally having a real vote on it. So whether you plan to vote for it or against it, or you just want to know what the numbers really are before you decide, all of us should support the secession bill. Let’s not drag out this issue for another three years, or ten years, or 20 years. Let’s find out what the terms are and vote on it, yea or nay, and let’s have an end to it. It’s the democratic way, and at the risk of descending into cliché here, it’s the American way. Rusty Foster Peaks Island

The Pharaoh refuses to go President Hosni Mubarak just appeared on television and didn’t step down, as many had thought he would. Instead, he insisted that he would stay in office through the September elections. He offered cosmetic changes and promises of reform down the road. For example, he said that he would lift the state of emergency…down the road…sometime when the time is right. He seems to have delegated some powers to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, while remaining in office himself. This is of course manifestly unacceptable to the Egyptian people. Mubarak’s speech was a striking reminder of the capacity of dictators to fool themselves and see themselves as indispensable. If he thinks that his softer tone will win any support, he’s delusional. As he was speaking, the crowd in Tahrir was shouting “Irhal!” or “Go!” And the Egyptian state media — from television to Al Ahram, the dominant newspaper — have been turning against Mubarak, so he’s losing control even of his own state apparatus. An Arab friend of mine who has met Mubarak many, many times describes him as “a stubborn old man,” and that seems exactly the problem right now. UPDATE HERE and throughout: Suleiman just spoke as well, praising Mubarak and asking the youth of Egypt to go home and stop watching satellite television. Only possible conclusion: he’s delusional, too. The regime seems so out of touch as to be almost suicidal. It was interesting that Mubarak tried to push the nationalism button and blame outside forces (meaning the United States) for trying to push him out. That won’t succeed, but it’s actually beneficial to America, giving us credit for siding with people power that I don’t think we actually deserve. My guess is that we’ll see massive demonstrations in many cities — not just Cairo — today, a traditional day for demonstrations. In effect, Mubarak and Suleiman have just insulted the intelligence of the Egyptian people — and they will respond. The regime has managed to galvanize the protesters, and it may be committing suicide. And I worry a bit that somewhere or other we may see violence. People are getting frustrated, and police are scared. One crucial question is what the military does next. It is sending signals of impatience, and there are hints that a coup could

come. Senior generals have a huge stake in continuing the existing system, and at this point Mubarak is becoming an obstacle to their retaining their privileges. ––––– But in an Egyptian context, what The New York would a coup mean? Mubarak’s Times regime is a largely military one (in civilian clothes): Mubarak, Vice President Omar Suleiman and so many others — including nearly all the governors — are career military men. So if the military now takes over, how different will the system be? Another question: what should the United States do? At the end of the day, Washington has relatively little influence, but its messaging will be hugely important. And the flaw with our messaging has been that we’ve been too wishywashy, and we’ve been perceived as supporting a slow and gradual transition under Suleiman — rather than siding with democracy. I hope that we will speak out more clearly (and Obama’s speech today was a step in that direction) to show respect for popular aspirations and against any kind of crackdown. One of the big questions in the next 48 hours is whether the authorities will crack down — and we should always be very clearly on the record against any use of violence. To me, this speech is a reminder of how entrenched the powers that be are in Egypt. They have their entire way of life — and billions of dollars — at risk, and they’re not going to go easily. My hunch is that at some point they’ll throw Mubarak overboard, but even then they may then seek to maintain Mubarakism without Mubarak. This could get uglier. It will certainly be historic.

The Cheverus High School girls hockey team will play in the Class A West Semiﬁnals on Saturday at 6:45 p.m. in Dover, N.H.(COURTESY PHOTO)

Encore will be test for CHS girls hockey team BY JEFF PETERSON

GIRLS HOCKEY STATE TOURNAMENT

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

What could the Cheverus High School girls hockey team do for an encore? All the Stags did last year was finish (21-0) and take home the state title. Well, we will all start finding out tomorrow night at the Dover Arena in New Hampshire when Cheverus takes on York in the Class A West Semifinals. The Stags are hoping for a curtain call that includes another trophy. “Our goal was to make the playoffs and we did,” said head coach J.P. Lavoie. “We have had great effort, hard work and pretty good results. As for another state title, once you are in the playoffs anything can happen.”

CLASS A WEST SEMIFINALS Friday 9 p.m. Biddeford vs. Scarborough at USM Saturday 6:45 p.m. Cheverus vs. York at Dover, N.H.

Going into the game with the Wildcats, the Stags are 11-6-1 and seeded third in the West. Pretty impressive when you consider the team graduated nine seniors last year. “Despite losing the seniors, we knew we would be good,” said Lavoie. “We just didn’t know how good.

The Stags only have three seniors on the roster this season, so they had to fill some holes. That meant some kids skating with a stick in their hands for the first time. Several of the players on the team had never played hockey before this season and a couple hadn’t even skated before. “Some of the girls played field hockey,” said Lavoie. “They were great athletes, but knew little about ice hockey. They have come a long way in three months. We had to go through a lot of skating drills early on, but the girls have really improved.” It has been a team effort this season, but five players have really fueled the team’s push to the playoffs.

Support your H.O.M.E. Team! Ever wonder when somebody is going to do something about the clearly troubled or horribly intoxicated people who sometimes make our streets difficult? Well, if you know about the “HOME teams,” you know somebody already is. And with great success. It’s a simple idea: Trained teams who know what social services are available literally walk the beat, engaging merchants and street people and defusing problems. For shop keepers, it means a way to deal with a problem short of calling the cops – and it means a better, faster, cheaper access to help for those who needs it. The HOME – or Homeless Outreach and Mobile Emergency – teams, are putting up impressive numbers (as reported in The Daily Sun): In the HOME team area – mostly downtown and in the Bayside neighborhood – the Portland Police Department reports a 23 percent drop in calls involving people who are intoxicated; • Police report a 55 percent drop, in that same area, in what are called “layouts,” meaning people too drunk to stand; • About 3,000 contacts with homeless or other street people, with 68 percent of those contacts involving people who were thought to be intoxicated.

This ad sponsored in part by:

• A 14 percent citywide drop in calls involving intoxicated people; • And, perhaps most importantly, 787 HOME clients were transported to the Milestone detox center. That number will likely be considered a direct diversion from ambulance service, at about $450 per transport, and overnight stays at the Mercy Hospital emergency room at a cost of $1,500 per night.

Tue. - Sat. 12:00 to 8:00pm John Dana cell: 838-8718 email jdhome@gmail.com Jesse Flynn Cell: 838-8904

This weekend, more than 40 businesses are donating part of their holiday-season revenue to support the HOME Team. And another challenge is just letting people know that they exist. That’s why we’re publishing this ad every week until further notice. The numbers document the success, but ask your downtown neighbors about the effectiveness and you will likely find another HOME team to support.

a starter, but has a goals against average of under two. “She was a back up for three years,” said Lavoie. “She had been waiting for her turn and she has made the most of it.” Also helping the Stags on defense have been Emily Sawchuck, Anna McDonogh and Sarah LaQuerre. “We have built our team around defense,” added Lavoie. “Emily and Anna both played forward last season, but have made a nice transition. We focus on keeping the puck at the other end. We have won quite a few games where we have been out shot.”

“Our goal was to make the playoffs and we did. We have had great effort, hard work and pretty good results. As for another state title, once you are in the playoffs anything can happen.” — Cheverus High girls hockey head coach J.P. Lavoie On offense, Cheverus has scored just enough to win. Katie Roy leads the team in scoring with 20 goals in 18 games. That is almost half of the 46 goals Cheverus has scored as a team. If Cheverus wants to win another state title, it all starts with York. The Stags have played the Wildcats twice during the season. They beat them on the

road 2-0 back on Jan. 3 and they ended up in a 1-1 tie a couple of weeks later. “Those were two of our best games of the season,” said Lavoie. “For some reason we have had success against them.” Lavoie just hopes that success will continue on Saturday.

Love In The SUN

Amid mishaps, impromptu wedding, couple’s bond deepens BY JEFFREY S. SPOFFORD SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

It took 53 years for former WMTW News 8 Meteorologist Tom Chisholm to meet the love of his life. Tom was living the life of the typical television

news person. He moved every few years from city to city and station to station until moving to Maine to be closer to the winter sports that he loves. Tom was very career driven, and

although he had some long-term relationships, because of the nature of his job and the necessity of frequent moves, there was no desire to get married. Then, he decided to try something different. At the suggestion of friends he tried the online service E-Harmony, and after meeting with a few different people he connected with the person who would turn out to be his other half. Tom and his wife, Han Sook, met at Panera Bread in Augusta. What was supposed to be a short get-to-knowyou session turned into a seven-hour conversation. They both knew they had met someone special. “He is just so intelligent,” says Han Sook, “He’s such a real person.” They continued to date, and Tom, wanting to share his love of skiing

with Han Sook, took her to Attitash to learn how to descend the slopes. They lost track of each other on the mountain when Han Sook took a fall, getting injured. Tom went up and down the mountain searching for her. The Ski Patrol had found her first, but knowing of Tom’s search, Han Sook was hooked. “I think it’s when she really fell for me,” Tom jokes. Han Sook, who had lost a fiancé years ago, had also never been married. They both decided to tie the knot and celebrated in a spontaneous way by having an impromptu service in the town center of North Sandwich, NH. The townspeople gathered for the ceremony. “We didn’t know anyone there,” says Tom. “We call it the nineteen dollar see next page

wedding,” explaining, “It’s what I paid for the new pair of jeans I wore.” They began their married life together at their home on Highland Lake in Windham, enjoying their time together. Then, Tom had an accident that would forever alter his outlook on life. Last fall, while riding his moped down Washington Avenue on his way to the television station, Tom was in an accident with another vehicle that resulted in multiple injuries, including the breaking of 13 bones. “My first thought lying on the ground was ‘I’m going to be late for work’.” He was transported to Maine Medical Center, where he insisted that when his wife was called she be told he was okay. Unfortunately, a colleague of Tom’s had already let Han Sook know the severity of the accident. “I was very frantic,” she explains. Han Sook had lost her first fiancée in a similar accident and never had a chance to say goodbye. “I just hoped he was conscious.” Han Sook got to the hospital and Tom was better off than she feared, but the road to recovery once home was long and around the clock. Han Sook

works as a caregiver in the assisted living field, so she was able to care for him at home between four operations to repair the damage from the accident. In addition to his wife, Tom credits his remarkable progress since the accident to surgeon Dr. Ray White, saying “When you wake up and Ray White is your surgeon, an angel has visited you.” After two months, Tom was able to return to work at WMTW, but his outlook on life had changed. He had had a “very focused rhythm” and had been “very career driven,” before the accident, but now wanted time to focus on the simple pleasures, especially now that he could enjoy them with his soul mate. So, after two months back at the station, Tom reached an agreement with WMTW management that would allow him to retire early. His last day on the air was Feb. 4. Having saved wisely and smartly throughout his bachelorhood, Tom and Han Sook are able to not have to return to work. From here, they plan to travel the country, making Florida their base of operations. They both have many friends in the South, and the warm weather will help with Tom’s physical therapy. Tom even plays in a band with friends in the warmer climate. “We’re going on an adventure!” exclaims Tom. Tom and Han Sook Chisholm met through E-Harmony. The couple plans to travel the country, making Florida their base of operations. (CONTRIBUTED PHOTO)

more often. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your interest in the strange and the supernatural will be piqued. You’ll have fun following up on unusual information and researching further. A friend helps in this regard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When salespeople or customer service representatives are too nice, it makes you wonder if you’ve paid too much for what you’re buying. Shop around and ﬁnd out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There will be emotion and human interest in all of your dealings, especially in the sort of interactions where you wouldn’t expect to be confronting personal feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Make notes and take pictures of your normal daily life. Your story behind the scenes is even more compelling than what’s happening on the world stage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not that you don’t appreciate the social effort that others make. It’s just that you may need some alone time to lie low, get caught up with yourself and/or process your feelings. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 11). You have amazing courage this year. Success in the next six weeks happens because you think through the obstacles instead of avoiding them. You’ll embrace new family in April. There’s a positive shift in your work environment in June. You will mainly feel self-sufﬁcient, but you still enjoy the love of a partner. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 32, 5 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You succeed by doing what feels right, good and natural to you. You differentiate clearly between what feels good and what doesn’t when you check in with your internal guidance system. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your thoughts buoy you. Because you are so optimistic about what will happen next, you can raise your energy level without caffeine or any other outside inﬂuence. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many are happy with what you do, but they don’t tell you as often as they should. Days like today make it all worthwhile, as your work will garner the appropriate praise right in front of your face. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If something happens that is not to your liking, it’s how you internalize the experience in your psyche that ultimately makes an imprint on your life. You’ll think the best, and the best will come of it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your loved ones shower you with love when you are emanating the same kind of love for them. Your attitude is the single factor that plays the biggest role in your success today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have good ideas. They do tend to be on the grand scale and, therefore, are more time-consuming to execute than run-of-the-mill type good ideas. You’ll attract helpers today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You experience a delightful interplay with someone who is as quick and lighthearted as you. It seems that every time you get together, you hit it off! Consider planning to see this person

THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN, Friday, February 11, 2011— Page 11

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Feb. 11, the 42nd day of 2011. There are 323 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Feb. 11, 1861, President-elect Abraham Lincoln bade farewell to his adopted hometown of Springfield, Ill., as he headed to Washington for his inauguration. The same day, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously adopted a resolution guaranteeing non-interference with slavery in any state. On this date: In 1812, Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a re-districting law favoring his party — giving rise to the term “gerrymandering.” In 1858, a French girl, Bernadette Soubirous (soo-bee-ROO’), reported the first of 18 visions of a lady dressed in white in a grotto near Lourdes. (The Catholic Church later accepted that the visions were of the Virgin Mary.) In 1937, a six-week-old sit-down strike against General Motors ended, with the company agreeing to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union. In 1960, “Tonight Show” host Jack Paar stunned his audience by walking off the program in a censorship dispute with NBC. In 1971, the Seabed Arms Control Treaty, which banned placement of weapons of mass destruction on the ocean floor beyond a 12-mile limit, was signed in Washington, London and Moscow. In 1975, Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of Britain’s opposition Conservative Party. In 1979, followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (hoh-MAY’-nee) seized power in Iran. In 1990, South African black activist Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in captivity. One year ago: Former President Bill Clinton had two stents inserted in one of his heart arteries after being hospitalized in New York with chest pains. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Conrad Janis is 83. Actress Tina Louise is 77. Actor Burt Reynolds is 75. Songwriter Gerry Goffin is 72. Actor Sonny Landham is 70. Bandleader Sergio Mendes is 70. Rhythm-andblues singer Otis Clay is 69. Actor Philip Anglim is 59. Actress Catherine Hickland is 55. Rock musician David Uosikkinen (awSIK’-ken-ihn) (The Hooters) is 55. Actress Carey Lowell is 50. Singer Sheryl Crow is 49. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is 47. Actress Jennifer Aniston is 42. Actor Damian Lewis is 40. Actress Marisa Petroro is 39. Singer D’Angelo is 37. Actor Brice Beckham is 35. Rock M-C/vocalist Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park) is 34. Singer-actress Brandy is 32. Actor Matthew Lawrence is 31. Rhythm-and-blues singer Kelly Rowland is 30.

Former governor to mediate in Mets case BY KEN BELSON AND RICHARD SANDOMIR THE NEW YORK TIMES

Former New York Governor Mario M. Cuomo will serve as a mediator in the standoff between the trustee for the victims of the Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme and Fred Wilpon, Saul Katz and Sterling Equities, who are accused of profiting from Madoff’s actions. Burton R. Lifland, the United States bankruptcy judge overseeing the case, appointed Cuomo, who was a mediator before first running for public office in the 1970s. The judge said the “special issues” in the case require “an appropriately experienced mediator.” Irving Picard, the trustee trying to recover money

for victims of the Madoff fraud, has charged in a lawsuit that Wilpon and Katz ignored warnings about the fraud and received more than $300 million in “fictitious profits.” Wilpon and Katz, co-owners of the Mets, claim they, too, are victims of Madoff. After months of private talks, details of the case spilled out on Feb. 4, when the complaint against Wilpon, Katz and Sterling Equities was unsealed in federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan. The suit alleges that Wilpon and Katz, their families and their businesses “made so much easy money from Madoff for so long” that despite warnings, they chose to “look the other way.” Wilpon and Katz, in turn, issued statements accus-

ing Picard of trying to besmirch their reputations. It is unclear who asked Cuomo to help broker a settlement. As mediator, Cuomo can only try to bring the two sides together, not obligate them to act. Cuomo is no stranger to the negotiating table. In addition to the dozen years he spent in Albany as governor, Cuomo was appointed by Mayor John V. Lindsay in 1972 to mediate a controversial dispute over low-income public housing in Forest Hills. He helped devise a compromise that cut the size of the project in half. The settlement helped launch his career as a politician. Cuomo also represented homeowners in Corona, Queens, not far from Citi Field, the home of the Mets.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have some concerns about the guest list for my daughter’s upcoming nuptials. She has always been budget conscious, and I appreciate her attempts to keep the guest list to a minimum, but it’s created a problem. She and her fiance initially decided to limit the guests to those 18 and older. Unfortunately, this would have excluded her first cousins, plus some of her fiance’s close family. I suggested setting the age at 12 and above, thinking this would appease all family members and we wouldn’t have to worry about little ones disrupting the ceremony or distracting their parents. However, this resulted in a sizable disagreement, and she now has decided to include all children. I would like to share this wonderful event with my extended family and included my aunts, uncles and first cousins on my portion of the guest list. My daughter revised the list to exclude my uncle and most of my cousins. She says she is close to only one of my cousins and eliminated the rest. I explained that it is inappropriate to include one cousin and not the others, just as it is wrong to invite my father’s sister, but not his brother. These disagreements are causing a great deal of unhappiness, and I don’t know how to keep the peace for everyone. Please help settle this. -- Distraught Mother Dear Distraught: Who is paying for the wedding? If it is your daughter and her fiance, they get to determine how many guests. They can, however, give you a specific number of invitations, allowing you to make the necessary decisions about your relatives. We agree that, barring a feud, she should invite both her great-aunt and great-uncle, but the bride’s mother’s first cousins are a different story. If she is close to only one, she does not need to invite the others. If you want them to attend the festivities, perhaps you could offer to pay the excess costs involved. Dear Annie: My stepdaughter is 22 years old and still living

at home, although she stays with her boyfriend several nights a week at his sister’s apartment. Last week she came home to take a shower and dress for church. Her boyfriend stayed in her bedroom while she changed clothes. I am very uncomfortable with this behavior at our house. I know she sleeps with him at his sister’s place. I feel like a hypocrite going to church and not standing up for what I believe in my own home. I have repeatedly asked her father to talk to her about having boyfriends in her bedroom, but he will not say anything. Since this is his adult child, do I have any authority to demand that she not have men in her room? After all, this is my house, too. I really want to approach this properly. Can you help? -- Not Comfortable Dear Not Comfortable: You are in a tough spot. You can ask your stepdaughter not to bring men into her bedroom, but if her father says it’s OK, you are out of luck. We suggest you talk to your husband and see if you can get him on the same page. Then you can tell her, “Your father and I would appreciate it if you would not bring your boyfriend into your bedroom.” Make sure he backs you up. Dear Annie: “Sweet Sue” said she was involved with a married man. It isn’t only young people who have this problem. I met a 71-year-old married man at a senior center. He was supposedly in the process of getting a divorce. We hit it off right away and got along so well that I moved him into my home because he told me he couldn’t stand staying with his wife one moment longer. He said he loved me and wanted to be with me forever. He stayed one month, then slept with his wife, packed his suitcase and left. I cannot believe the lies this man told me. Young people aren’t the only ones coping with the beautiful and blissful world of love and romance -- Still Hurting

A University of Southern Maine student currently working through an internship at Mayo Street, Battick has performed several times in the last year, including Lysa Hora I: Winter Night, a “gathering of Maine-based spiritmusic(s)” which also featured locals White Light and Arborea. Battick’s music lends itself well to the space. Under the banner of Jakob Battick & Friends, the ensemble crafts a brand of haunted folk tunes that work well within the space. “Something about the combination of acoustics and light, along with the vintage style curtain behind the mini stage, really felt like a sort of home for my music,” Battick wrote. USM printmaking major Jonathan Cook also interns at Mayo, where he creates eye-catching screen printed posters for the venue’s marquee events — a pink-briefed Cupid with hiking boots graces the poster for the Hootenanny. McGough said Cook will have a solo show of his work at Mayo Street in May. With a year behind her and a niche firmly established in Portland’s venue scene, McGough has big plans for Mayo Street’s future. “We’re hoping to get into more theatre this year. We have a theatre in residency, but they’ve yet to put on their first production,” she said. This weekend, Mayo Street continues its Performing Arts and Culture Series with the Flying Donkey Cabaret, a traveling roadshow of puppetry for adults presented by local puppetry troupe Dolly Wagglers and Bread & Puppet Theater out of Vermont. Dolly Wagglers bring a “fresh lowbrow crudeness to the world of puppetry, with cardboard operettas and crankyshows (low-tech scrolling pictures),” according to their website. Vermont’s Bread and Puppet join with “large scale political theatre and pageantry,” said McGough.
