Riverton ﬁghts to save its library ... again Meeting today confronts fears that branch is targeted for closure BY CURTIS ROBINSON THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Donna Ryan recalls trudging through snow, asking neighbor after neighbor to sign a petition to keep the Riverton community library open; the facility meant so much to her and Madeline, her infant daughter who loved the Friday story hour.

City cuts developer parking fees

“They’ve been trying for years to close this library.” — Riverton community library patron Donna Ryan In fact, as with many in the community, the library had become a sort of community center, linking her new family with other parents. That was more than 10 years ago. Little “Maddie” is 12. And another petition drive is focused on keeping the library open. The effort is similar to the one

that saved the facility last year. “They’ve been trying for years to close this library,” Ryan said yesterday as she shopped at Moran’s Market on Forest Avenue, adding that she’s signed the current petition and will again work to keep “a real community place” operating. Steve Weigle, branch manager at the Riverton library, might phrase things just a bit differently: He might say “they” have actually been trying to keep the library open for years. see RIVERTON page 8

Vote reduces per-space fee from $10,000 to $5,000 BY CURTIS ROBINSON THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Potential commercial development in Portland got a bit easier last night as city councilors reduced parking obligations for new projects. The city has been reviewing parking requirements for months, installing for the ﬁrst time a chance for developers to pay a fee instead of providing actual parking. That fee was set earlier this year at $10,000 per space not provided. The resulting fee was somewhat controversial because it creates a fund that can be used not only for parking, but for other transit projects like busing or improved bicycle access. Several residents speaking against the fee worried that allowing developers to pay into a see CITY COUNCIL page 3

Series gives authors a chance to see how a work plays live Scratchpad Reading Series No. 4 Tonight at 7 p.m. Mama’s CrowBar, 189 Congress St. Free, 21 plus, cash bar BY MATT DODGE THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The Scratchpad Reading Series is a quarterly event which calls on local literary talent to share their unﬁ nished and unpublished works of ﬁ ction

and non-ﬁction. Hosted at Mama’s Crow Bar on Munjoy Hill, the series is the creation of writer Mary PhillipsSandy who, in moving to Portland, noticed a lack of such a forum in a town literary events tended to skew toward the poetry and spoken word side of the spectrum. “It occurred to me that if I wanted it to happen I would have to start it myself,” said Phillips-Sandy. As luck would have it, Phillips-Sandy’s plan to

start a local reading series coincided with a change in owner ship at Munjoy Hill’s Mama’s Crow Bar (formerly Awful Annie’s), with Tricia Pryce Henley (the “Mama” of lore) taking charge of the cozy bar at 189 Congress. In taking over the bar, Pryce Henley, a poet active in the local spoken word scene, re-imagined the space as a neighborhood gathering place that reﬂected the cultural pursuits of today’s Munjoy — see SCRATCHPAD page 12

One-way to Mars PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — It’s usually cheaper to ﬂ y one way, even to Mars. Two scientists are suggesting that colonization of the red planet could happen faster and more economically if astronauts behaved like the ﬁ rst settlers to come to North America — not expecting to go home. “The main point is to get Mars exploration moving,” said Dirk Schulze-Makuch, a Washington State University professor who co-authored an article that seriously proposes what sounds like a preposterous idea. At least one moon-walking astronaut was not impressed. “This is premature,” Ed Mitchell of Apollo 14 wrote in an e-mail. “We aren’t ready for this yet.” Also cool to the idea was NASA. President Barack Obama has already outlined a plan to go to Mars by the mid-2030s, but he never suggested these space travelers wouldn’t come home. “We want our people back,” NASA spokesman Michael Braukus said. The article titled “To Boldly Go” appears in the latest issue of the Journal of Cosmology, which featured more than 50 articles and essays on Mars exploration. Schulze-Makuch and Paul Davies, a physicist at Arizona State University, argue that humans must begin colonizing another planet as a hedge against a catastrophe on Earth. They believe the one-way trips could start in two decades. “You would send a little bit older folks, around 60 or something like that,” SchulzeMakuch said, bringing to mind the aging heroes who saved the day in the movie “Space Cowboys.” That’s because the mission would undoubtedly reduce a person’s lifespan, from a lack of medical care and exposure to radiation. Radiation could also damage reproductive organs, so sending people of childbearing age is not a good idea, Schulze-Makuch said.

Dems, GOP back for lame-duck session WASHINGTON (AP) — Dejected Democrats and invigorated Republicans returned to the Capitol Monday to face a mountain of unﬁ nished work and greet more than 100 mainly Republican freshmen-elect lawmakers determined to change how they do business. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, in line to become speaker when the new Republican-led Congress convenes in January, told GOP newcomers Sunday evening that they may spend their next two years doing just two things: stopping what he called “jobkilling policies” and the “spending binge.” “The American people are sick and tired of the ‘Washington knows best’ mentality. All the power in this town is on loan from the people,” he told the group, which he noted

includes seven farmers, six physicians, three car dealers, two funeral home directors, a former FBI agent, a pizzeria owner, an NFL lineman, and an airline pilot. On the other side of the Capitol, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell met 12 of the 13 newly elected Republicans. He noted that two years ago there were only two freshmen Republicans, and said the new class would bring a “huge improvement” to the Senate. First, though, lawmakers must slog through the postelection session that, as with past lame ducks, is expected to be unpopular and largely unproductive. Republicans are looking ahead to January, when they will take back control of the House; many Democratic lawmakers

and staff are more focused on cleaning out their desks and looking for new jobs. Democrats also have the sad occasion of seeing one of their most venerable members go on trial on ethics charges. The House ethics committee opened the trial Monday of 80-year-old Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., the former Ways and Means Committee chairman charged with 13 counts of ﬁnancial and fundraising misconduct violating House rules. In an indication of how far the 20-term lawmaker has fallen, Rangel told the four Republicans and four Democrats on the jury that he had run out of money to pay his previous attorney and asked that the trial be postponed until he could get a new lawyer. His request was denied.

Scanners and pat-downs Police: Building collapse upset airline passengers in New Delhi kills 32 WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a week before the Thanksgiving travel crush, federal air security officials were struggling to reassure rising numbers of fl iers and airline workers outraged by new anti-terrorism screening procedures they consider invasive and harmful. Across the country, passengers simmered over being forced to choose scans by full-body image detectors or probing pat-downs. Top federal security offi cials said Monday that the procedures were safe and necessary sacrifi ces to ward off terror attacks. “It’s all about security,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. “It’s all about everybody recognizing their role.”

Despite officials’ insistence that they had taken care to prepare the American flying public, the fl urry of criticism from private citizens to airline pilots’ groups suggested that Napolitano and other federal offi cials had been caught off guard. At the San Diego airport, a software engineer posted an Internet blog item saying he had been ejected after being threatened with a fi ne and lawsuit for refusing a groin check after turning down a full-body scan. The passenger, John Tyner, said he told a federal Transportation Security Administration worker, “If you touch my junk, I’m gonna have you arrested.”

NEW DELHI (AP) — A four-story building collapsed in a congested neighborhood in New Delhi Monday, killing at least 32 people and injuring 60 others, a top police official said. Many more people were trapped under debris after the building on the Indian capital’s east side collapsed, said B.K. Gupta, New Delhi police commissioner. Local residents, who were the fi rst to reach the scene of the accident, used their bare hands to scoop away mud and mortar and pull out survivors. Emergency efforts were hampered as fire engines found it difficult to navigate the narrow alleys of the residential neighborhood of Lalita Park. Residents helped carry the injured to vehicles and to transport them to nearby hospitals. Police, fi refighters and locals tried to remove concrete slabs as hundreds of people crowded around or peered down from rooftops of nearby buildings. New Delhi’s top elected offi cial, Sheila Dikshit, who reached the site to oversee rescue operations, said at 30 people were still trapped under the rubble. She said it was not immediately possible to say what had caused the accident but promised to order an inquiry.

Boy crushed under uprooted pine tree

Donoghue says change needed to make fees more attractive than other options

POWNAL (AP) — Investigators say a man whose 5-year-old grandson was crushed by a fallen pine tree in Maine didn’t realize the boy was playing nearby as he cut it up. Cumberland County Chief Deputy Kevin Joyce says the boy was playing in a 5-foot diameter hole left by the uprooted tree in Pownal when a 10-foot section snapped upright as the grandfather was cutting with a chain saw. Joyce says family members didn’t realize right away that the boy was missing. He was eventually found pinned under the roots. Joyce says the family recently moved from Maryland. The grandfather was helping clean up after a wind storm last week. He says the boy’s father, a Marine, is stationed in Hawaii.

fund would force workers to eventually try and ﬁ nd spaces in already crowded residential areas next to the commercial zones. They also worried that, since commercial developments can include residences, that those new neighbors might also lack parking. Chris O’Neil, a lobbyist for the chamber of commerce, called the new parking requirement “artful ordinance drafting” and said he was addressing the council to “rubber stamp” the measure. Councilor Kevin Donoghue, a proponent of the parking fee reduction, argued that the change was needed to make the fees more attractive than other options, especially the idea of leasing parking to meet the requirements. Councilor Dave Marshall echoed that concern, adding that committeelevel review of the proposal included information from people familiar with development who indicated the market price should be around $3,000 to $5,000. “I hope this hits the sweet spot,” he said.

Credit Card Debt?

ADVERTORIAL

Solutions that can help you get out of debt. Tom Hill CGA STAFF WRITER

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. It’s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumers’ bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans.

An excursion into the city’s Korean food scene The G20, a group of 20 finance ministers and central bank governors who preside over 85 percent of the world’s economy, just finished a series of meetings in Seoul, Korea. An NPR report on the 10 days of high-level negotiations about currency policy and financial regulations was truly inspiring. I realized that (1) I needed to transfer money from my savings into my checking account so that the last couple of checks that I wrote wouldn’t bounce and (2) I hadn’t visited either of Portland’s new Korean places. Unlike Manhattan or L.A., New England has no Koreatown for a deeper cultural immersion, so I dropped by Videoport for some Korean DVDs, knowing that not only would there be a fairly substantial selection of Korean classics but that the staff would be able to ––––– make knowledgeable recommendations.

Sometimes a great notion When you were a kid, you reached a certain age when you were asked by your parents to have certain items in your pockets or available at all times. A dime for a phone call, and some sort of wallet card explaining if you were allergic to anything. Important stuff for the medic who scraped you and your bike off the side of the road. As you grew older, teachers added to that list. You were supposed to have a pen or pencil and something to write on all the time, even during the sweltering hot days of summer. Still don’t know to this day where I was supposed to keep that stuff while wearing a sopping wet swimsuit. If you’ve ever wondered why, the reason is simple. Ideas come at odd times and places. Just this morning, crossing a parking lot on my way to work, I noticed a one-legged seagull in the parking lot. I’ve seen him there several times, but it wasn’t until this morning that I decided to name him “Stumpy The Seagull,” and potentially tie that in with a column about all the one-legged gulls in Portland, and how they got that way. For certain legal reasons that will soon become obvious, I can’t go too deep into speciﬁ cs. Over a year ago, I had this really cool

Trader Joe’s bag: Cool tote, or certain death? Yesterday was the actual “America Recycles Day,” but I ﬁ gure if there’s any special day that can be used more than once, this has to be it. And of course, the buzz around ARD this year is the return of the POP decision — paper or plastic, as in checkout bags. That had become a trick question in recent years in a way usually reserved for that Kentucky query: Do you pronounce the capital LOUISville or LOUIEville? (It’s Frankfort.) So the paper-or-plastic question was answered best by “neither.” The correct answer was to use one of those sweet reusable shopping bags, and my preference is a Mexican market bag obtained near Mexico City circa 1998. Very cooler than thou. And that’s important, because as bag-towns status seekers go, Portland can hold its own. Our menfolk have long adapted to those man-purse courier bags and of course the womenfolk have an array of stylish and functional carrying devices.

Curtis Robinson –––––

Usually Reserved But the latest faddish accessory for the local foodie trend-chaser has to be those brightly colored and oh-so-reusable Trader Joe’s shopping bags. I’ve seen them all over town, and there are rumors that some TJ fans have used huge red markers to customize their bags to say “I survived Trader Joe’s opening weekend.” The bags are so hot that not even eBay or Craigslist had even one for sale. I tried myself, but the last time I stood in a line that long I was checking out Rage Against the Machine at the Democratic National Convention. At least we had beer. Too bad the cool shopping bag thing is ofﬁcially sooooo ﬁve minutes ago. Or maybe you missed the scary New York Times report about how such

bags might contain dangerous levels of lead – although the paper also takes pains to say there’s not all that much to worry about. The reporter didn’t single Trader Joe’s out, and pointed out there was little risk, but still the paper but did talk to shoppers there – leaving us to jump to wild conclusions. This continues the NYT’s long role of devil’s advocate when it comes to the reusable bags. You will of course recall the paper also took the daring step to publish a column asserting the bags are a breeding ground for bacteria. That ﬁ nding was based on work by somebody identiﬁed as “a Denver journalist.” But here’s the way that piece in the “Freakonomics” column began: “You know those reusable cloth bags that environmentally-conscious shoppers proudly tote to the grocery store? It turns out they may be making you sick. A journalist in Denver set about testing a variety of reusable cloth bags for bacteria, and the results aren’t pretty. Several of the bags had low to moderate levels of bacteria, while two

bags had much higher levels. ‘Wow. Wow. That is pretty impressive,” said Dr. Michelle Baron, an infectious disease expert at the University of Colorado Hospital. “We’re talking in the million range of bacteria.’ The solution? Wash the bags after each use.” Hey, this is a paper that missed the whole “weapons of mass destruction” story before the Iraq war. They are taking no chances in shoppingbagreuse-gate. So I’m back to paper-vs.-plastic. Which, given my ability to remember the reusable bags in the ﬁ rst place, feels quite familiar. Of course, some grocers have removed that decision. You know who you are. So ... dolphin-choking, landﬁll-stuffing plastic or chop down a tree? Somehow, I think my Mexican market bag will make a comeback, despite the risk.

Somali pirates refuse to board Carnival Cruise ships MOGADISHU (The Borowitz Report) — In yet another public relations setback for the beleaguered cruise ship company, Somali pirates today said they would no longer board Carnival Cruise ships, citing “unsafe working conditions.” ”If Carnival thinks that it’s going to be business as usual between them and the Somali pirates, they need to have their heads examined,” said Somali pirate spokesman Sugule. “We Somali pirates may be bold, but we’re not crazy.” The pirate said that the recent ﬁ re that crippled the giant cruise ship

Diners explore Korea House on Congress, Little Seoul on Exchange MALLAR from page 4

While these ﬁlms are not likely to wind up on Videoport’s display of food ﬁ lms by the checkout, they provided wonderful ambiance for our explorations of Korea House on Congress and Little Seoul on Exchange. Little Seoul is at 90 Exchange Street, where Greek Corner used to be. While the menu features Korean dishes, the centerpiece of the restaurant is the Sushi bar, which I suspect will make it more appealing to the Old Port business lunch crowd. Korean food is something of a mystery to most Mainers and people are more likely to be adventurous if they know there’s something familiar to fallback on.

We started lunch at Little Seoul with a seafood pancake, which was soft and bland. The traditional pumpkin soup was too sweet for me but the spicy and sour shrimp soup was a well-balanced counterpoint. Bul-go-gi, marinated and sauteed beef was also too sweet. The kimchi vegetables are what I really love about Korean food and Little Seoul’s were excellent: cabbage, zucchini, bean sprouts and sweet black beans. Although this lunch was not fully satisfying, I would return to Little Seoul if I were in need of lunch in the Old Port. The atmosphere is very good and the service attentive ... and there’s always that sushi to fall back on. Part of my disappointment might be due to the dinner we had the previous evening at Korea House

at 630 Congress. We were served warm tea, that my dining companions dubbed popcorn tea because of the buttery aroma and fl avor. While actual butter is used to flavor in Tibet, this butteryness is similar to that of an oaked Chardonnay. It’s luscious. As we walked in, another diner was just being served a plate of charbroiled beef short ribs. The aroma was so enticing that we made it the centerpiece of the meal. Marinated in a garlicky soy, Gaibi is served on a bed of sauteed onions. It has entered the pantheon of my favorite Portland entrees. The Bi Bim Bop, a bowl of beef, egg, vegetables over rice was elegantly fl avorful. Each component see KOREAN page 6

On a personal level, I’m on my third stolen yellow legal pad and my fourth snatched reporters notebook ﬁ lched from the supply cabinet of this paper. That is since last March. Might be random ideas, but they still keep on coming.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s an invention or just some crazy get-poor-quick scheme. The old saying goes, you miss 100 percent of the shots you never take. This chance meeting with the right person at the right time was just that, random. We all live in an age of the latest and greatest media meme, the next big thing, the shiny new idea, the new handy gadget. Each and every one of those things came from folks who had an idea, wrote it down, and started to research what they needed to do to make their dream come to life. We could have

had the damned thing sooner, if the FIRST person who thought it up had just bothered to write it down. That is only the ﬁrst step. But it is the most important one. How else will you ever learn of the fate of “Stumpy The One Legged Seagull?” TO BE CONTINUED... (Bob Higgins is a regular contributor to The Portland Daily Sun.)

I have a childhood memory of going to a restaurant that served Mongolian barbecue. The sauces were pungent and spicy, at times so hot they made me cry. It’s an idealized memory wrapped up in the misty gauze of family dining adventures. Compared to this, Korea House’s Mongolian shrimp fell ﬂat. That’s just the way it is, there comes a point in our lives when objective opinions become harder and harder to form, most things become relational, ﬁltered through prior experience. Korea House’s gaibi trumps Little Seoul’s entire menu but the shrimp lose to a total stranger decades ago. Which leads me to the next high-level set of negotiations between those with divergent world views and a long history of grievances and odd alliances: Thanksgiving.

Library patrons rally for their branch RIVERTON from page one

Steve Weigle, branch manager at the Riverton library, pauses from assembling shelves at the branch library, located at the Riverton School and Community Center. (CURTIS ROBINSON PHOTO)

Assembling shelves and selling 50-cent magazines he salvaged from a summer bookstore job (they were left over from the weekend’s big craft fair fundraiser), Weigle explained Monday that three years of static budgets have left the library struggling, even though it’s only a 20-hour branch. But announced plans to close the library are again motivating residents to mobilize. The Riverton Community Association (RCA) has gathered 2,000 signatures in support of the library and will hold a meeting at noon today with city ofﬁ cials and the Portland Public Library (PPL) system to discuss options. While the Riverton branch library is located at the Riverton School and Community Center, it is actually separate from the Riverton Elementary School library. In announcing today’s meeting, the RCA said that PPL Executive Director Steve Pajgojny “... has proposed providing an automated book checkout system to serve the Riverton community after

“We don’t know what’s going to happen.” — Steve Weigle, branch manager at the Riverton library the closure. RCA membership overwhelmingly has rejected this proposal, and has resolved that the Riverton Branch be maintained as a permanent component of PPL.” Branch Manager Weigle says that his understanding is that Pajgojny may have decided to keep the branch staffed after all, and he adds that RCA ﬂyers around the neighborhood are less than 100 percent accurate when they say that the plans are to close the library. “We don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said. “We just want to survive ... the RCA, I love them to death and they’re doing the right things ... without them, we wouldn’t have a chance.” Ryan and other fans of the library point out that it has a different role than other branches that closed recently on the West End and in the Munjoy Hill neighborhood. For one thing, the Riverton Branch is much farther away from the central library – it’s actually the farthest removed branch in the city. That means patrons would have to travel signiﬁ cantly to access the central library. And parking in the downtown, especially with kids, is usually noted as one of the negatives to using the central library. Today’s meeting is scheduled for the Riverton Branch Library at the Riverton School and Community Center at noon and is expected to include most of the stakeholders in the library’s future. Including those who will doubtless be rallying their neighbors ... again.

the art of French eating, opened in April 2008 as a modern French bistrostyle restaurant. Desjarlais said he settled on the name, “Evangeline,” based on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s ﬁrst epic poem, “Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie,” published in 1847. But Evangeline’s Desjarlais said he decided to devote his time to his infant daughter, Cortland, born May 20. “I’ve got a 6-month-old daughter, it’s been very difﬁ cult to spend a 12-hour day at work. I’m going to be a dedicated husband and father and I’m probably

retiring from restaurants,” he said in a telephone interview Monday. “It had its run, and I’m very happy with what it did,” he said of Evangeline. The restaurant closed in the middle of last week, during a pre-holiday hiatus. “It’s bittersweet. I’m happy. A large weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It’s all for my daughter, your priorities change once you have a baby,” Desjarlais said. Desjarlais’s wife, Krista Desjarlais, runs Bresca restaurant at 111 Middle St., featuring food from the Mediterranean and French Riviera with hints of Italian, Spanish and other inﬂuences.

Pooch Café For Better or Worse LIO

By Holiday Mathis is going to happen next. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When your mood drops, your mind ﬁ lls with concerns that weren’t there when you were feeling up and full of energy. You can keep worry at bay by continuing to do the things that contribute to your good health. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Many around you are noticing a certain problem and are unsure of how to solve it. The more positive you are the easier it will be for you to see a full range of possible solutions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). You realize that if you don’t act, others with less experience and wisdom will. You don’t like to think about where that will lead, so you’ll take initiative. You will make commitments and do what you say you will do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your ethics are solid, but there’s someone around you who lacks your integrity. This one could tempt others and bring the group down. Take courage -- stand up and stop those who are on a wrong path. PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Everyone makes mistakes, but you’ve learned enough from yours that if you do mess up again, those ﬂubs will be of a very different variety from any you’ve made before. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). You are curious about the world, and what you learn stimulates your imagination, making you want to learn more. Through the next two months, it will be lucrative to give your boss, client or customer more than was expected. You’ll move into a new position. February is romantic, and you’ll revel in the attention. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 30, 1, 23 and 15.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You have a friendly and inclusive attitude. Because of this, there is a spirit of teamwork and bonding around you. If you wanted to, you could rally a productive group and create something that didn’t exist before. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes you wonder why you bother upholding stringent standards and such a challenging routine. It’s important that you continue, though. You are a guiding light for those who lack discipline and structure. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Embrace your limitations as creative allies. They force you to use all of your faculties, to work with others and to be resourceful. You’ll make a thing of beauty, and it will be beautiful precisely because of the way it is made. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your feelings are important, valid and there to help you. Nothing is too small to be aware of. If you are not feeling quite like yourself, there is a reason for it, and it’s worth paying attention to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve learned to manage your thinking. In a low mood, you distrust and ignore your negative thoughts. In a high mood, you validate and encourage your positive thoughts. These methods bring you success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You and a partner are very different from each other. In many respects, you could be considered opposites. You don’t always have to please each other or understand each other in order to work well together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t require that others be like you in order to appreciate them. You like the differences you ﬁ nd. They keep you interested, as you’re just not sure what

In 1982, an agreement was announced in the 57th day of a strike by National Football League players. One year ago: President Barack Obama, on his first trip to China, gave his hosts a pointed, unexpected nudge to stop censoring Internet access.

Scratchpad described as a ‘works-in-progress series’ SCRATCHPAD from page one

a neighborhood that likely boasts the state’s highest concentration of typewriters per capita. With signage reading “Mama’s Crow Bar — beer. friends. music. prose,” Phillips-Sandy knew that Mama’s was the perfect site for her ﬂ edgling series. “I thought, what a perfect space for a friendly, welcoming little reading series,” she said. Phillips-Sandy said she was inspired by the Writers Working reading series at the Drama Bookshop in New York City, where authors read excerpts from their longer works in progress. “It was so cool, because there would be complete nobodies, published authors, it’s sort of the great equalizer because people were all working on a piece that hadn’t been published yet,” said Phillips-Sandy. “It’s a different vibe than an author on tour doing the same reading they’ve done 20 times

before,” she said. Scratchpad functions in much the same way. According to the Scratchpad website, the event is a “works-in-progress series. We’re interested in that essay you’re revising, the short story that’s undergoing its fourth ﬁnal draft, the novel in your drawer, the book that isn’t on store shelves (yet).” The workshop vibes gives authors a chance to see how a piece plays with a live audience, providing valuable feedback for writers in the midst of their process. “It’s great way to try it out in front of an audience, see how it sounded and talk to people,” she said. “People have said it’s a good incentive to go home and keep working on it.” The quarterly series presents its fourth installment tonight, and is the last of 2010. Phillips-Sandy said the series seems to be gaining it’s own momentum. The ﬁrst few installments

saw Phillips-Sandy exhausting her list of local literati to track down authors, but word seems to have gotten out on the intimate reading. “People have started to contact me, there were several people who I didn’t know at all. People know about it and seem very excited about it,” she said. Tonight’s event features readings from Sybil Wilen, whose upcoming collection of shorts are inspired by the titles of Kama Sutra positions; Rob Korobkin, a computer programmer who longs to share a Jameson with Bukowski and Carver; Brandi Neal, a Salt Institute grad and co-founder of Portland’s ﬁrst documentary arts magazine, The Blue Room; Abraham A. Schecter, a photographer with a passion for book conservation; and Shanna Miller McNair, the founder of the forthcoming literary journal The New Guard Review and an MFA candidate at Stonecoast.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: “Roy” and I have been married for 43 years. We have two married children and several grandchildren. We’ve had our share of problems, but I have always trusted him -- until now. Roy retired three years ago. Recently, close friends of ours informed me that they saw him at a diner on the outskirts of town, having lunch with a female in a “cozy” booth. Roy didn’t see my friends because he was apparently engrossed in conversation, laughing and smiling. My friends said at one point their hands touched across the table, and the husband said he saw them hug and briefly kiss at the woman’s car. I checked my husband’s calendar for that day, and it said he’d had a dentist’s appointment. I remember Roy telling me it took a long time because there was a wait and then he went to the hardware store, where he “browsed.” I called our dentist and discovered he had no appointment that day. Annie, he lied to me about that entire day. I felt like I’d been punched in the stomach. When Roy was still working, I heard rumors that he fl irted with a woman in the offi ce who had a thing for him, but I’m the type who disregards gossip. I had no reason to think Roy was being unfaithful, but now I have doubts. I’ve been told perhaps it’s an emotional affair, not sexual, but I don’t even know what that means. My question is, do I tell Roy what I know? My friend’s husband believes it is an innocent fl irtation and thinks I should leave it alone. What do I do? -- Very Unsure Dear Unsure: It could very well be an innocent fl irtation, but the premeditated lying is disturbing. Without naming your friends, tell Roy that he was spotted having a chummy lunch with some woman on the day he supposedly had a dentist’s appointment, and ask him what’s up. He needs to know that his tryst hurt you deeply.

Dear Annie: Last night, I went out to dinner with my ﬁ ance, “Randy,” my father and my future mother-in-law. We were in the middle of making last-minute plans for the wedding when my father dropped the bombshell that he and Randy’s mother have been secretly seeing each other and are now engaged. Annie, what do I do? Is it OK for me to marry Randy if my father is married to his mother? I love Randy and cannot stand the thought of breaking off my engagement. I need help. -- Freaking Out in Florida Dear Florida: Calm down. If your father marries Randy’s mother, it does not make Randy your brother. He becomes your stepbrother, which is not a blood relation. You can still marry him. Your father’s timing is rather questionable, so ask him to wait until you and Randy are wed before he makes any sudden moves. But everything else is OK. Dear Annie: “Mourning in Massachusetts” mentioned that she had “followed Al-Anon’s advice” in suspending a relationship with her sister. It is not the practice of Al-Anon to give anyone advice on the choices they are faced with. Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help the families of alcoholics. The literature says we do this by “practicing The Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.” It is not my goal to bring those who struggle with alcoholism to their recovery, but to work on returning my life to a useful and meaningful one, relieved of the frustration and pain of loving someone who struggles with addiction. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this point. -- Anonymous Member of the Al-Anon Family Groups Dear Anonymous: Several readers pointed out that AlAnon does not advise cutting off contact with alcoholics. Thanks for clearing that up.

Riverton Branch Library meeting by the Riverton Community Association

noon. Members of the Riverton Community Association (RCA) will meet Tuesday with city ofﬁ cials to discuss “the planned closure” of the Riverton Branch of the Portland Public Library, according to the Riverton Community Association. “The PPL announced plans to close the branch earlier this year,” the group reported. However, resistance from the community resulted in city funding for another year. It is scheduled to close in July, when Portland Public Schools will use the space for the Adult Education program, currently using several classrooms at Riverton Elementary School on a temporary basis. (The Riverton Branch, while located at the Riverton School and Community Center, is separate from the Riverton Elementary School library.) “PPL Executive Director Steve Pajgojny has proposed providing an automated book checkout system to serve the Riverton community after the closure. RCA membership overwhelmingly has rejected this proposal, and has resolved that the Riverton Branch be maintained as a permanent component of PPL. Community volunteers gathered close to two thousand signatures in support of that resolve at the polls Nov. 2.” The meeting, to be held at the Riverton Branch Library at the Riverton School and Community Center at noon, is expected to include representatives from the school department.

During its fi rst season, the team led the NBA D-League not only in sales of season tickets but also overall revenue generated so much so that a Maine Red Claws ticket has become a hot commodity with every game selling out. The team employs forty-five people and plays their home ga mes at the city’s Portland Exposition Building. B&M, a Division of B&G Foods will receive the 2010 Business of Year Award for its more than one hundred and forty years of success in the city. Now a division of B&G Foods, B&M employs approximately one hundred and fi fty people and four years ago, the company expanded production at the Portland facility to include Underwood Meat Spread. The Portland landmark is a great source of pride for the city and the business community. Allagash Brewing will receive the 2010 Small Business of Year Award. Selling its fi rst batch of beer in 19 9 5, the once one-man brewing company has expanded to twenty-five employees, receiving national awards for its premiere beer with a gold, silver and bronze medal from past World Beer Cups. The Allagash Brewing has earned its reputation with a variety of traditional and experimental Belgian-style beers aged in liquor barrels. The company also gives back to the community with its Allagash Tribute Series. For every bottle sold, a dollar is donated to local nonprofits, most recently $10,000 gifts to the St. Lawrence Arts Center, Victoria Mansion and Maine Pediatric Nurses Association.

Forum on athletic and co-curricular programs

7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Portland Public Schools will hold a public forum in the Deering High School cafeteria to discuss proposals for the district’s middle school and high school athletic and co-curricular programs, as outlined in a report by the Red & Blue Foundation. “The report, commissioned by the Portland School Committee, draws on interviews with 65 Portland students, parents, coaches, teachers, administrators and city ofﬁ cials as well as representatives of local colleges, universities,

businesses and other organizations. The foundation also collected surveys and gathered fi nancial data about the district’s programs. The report identifi es ways that the district can strengthen athletic and co-curricular programs by coordinating activities at the district level, improving recordkeeping and oversight and fi nding new funding sources to supplement tax dollars.” Major proposals include: establishing a nonprofi t foundation to generate support for district athletics and co-curricular programs; hiring a district co-curricular director, based in Central Offi ce, to work with the high school principals, high school co-curricular directors, the Portland Recreation Department and other city departments; consolidating purchase of sports equipment and uniforms at the district level to save money; raising academic eligibility standards for high school students, including a minimum grade point average and an attendance requirement; combining all of the booster clubs into a single club for each high school; adopting a middle school philosophy for athletic participation that encourages participation and avoids cutting students from teams; and correlating student participation rates in activities with the funding provided to those activities. For more information, please contact Mark Terison, the district’s chief operations officer, at terism@portlandschools.org or Portland High School Assistant Principal Stephen Rogers at rogers@portlandschools.org.

The details surrounding Crazy Horse’s death in federal custody the next year were the subject of great dispute and have remained controversial for more than a century. With the Great Sioux War as background and context, and drawing on many new materials as well as documents in libraries and archives, Thomas Powers will recount the ﬁ nal months and days of Crazy Horse’s life.”
