Missing Portland woman’s remains found DAILY SUN STAFF REPORT The remains of a 24-year-old Portland woman missing since July 2010 were found in a “remote area of the state” on April 17, according to the Portland Police Department.

Elena Lozada was reported missing last July by her mother, police said.

The case is now being considered an “unattended death with suspicious circumstances,” and the investigation is

expected to continue, according to Lt. Gary Rogers with the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.

Lozada last spoke to her mother on July 6, 2010 and was last seen around July 7, 2010, according to missing persons website www.lostnmissing.com, a nonprofit missing-persons network run

by Cynthia Caron out of New Hampshire. It is thought that Lazada may have been in the Dorchester, Mass., area, the site’s blog stated.

Lozada was moving out of her apartment on Grant Street in Portland in July of last year and was supposed to be taking a bus to Massachusetts, according to reports on WCSH 6.

The Portland Police, Maine State Police and Medical Examiner’s office had been working together on the search, according to the police press release. Anyone who has information on the case is urged to contact the Portland Police Department at 874-8533.

Elena Lozada is shown in a missing-person poster placed online by www.lostnmissing.com, a Londonderry, N.H.-based missingpersons website.

Soggy start to the season for Sea Dogs

BY CURTIS ROBINSON THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

One of the city’s workhorse federal programs is getting showhorse treatment next week as Portland councilors begin debating how to allocate millions of dollars in Community Development Block Grants, or CDBGs. The city has participated in the CDBG program since it began in 1974, awarding some $75 million for projects ranging from community policing to creating restaurant jobs.

This year’s allotment is more than $2 million.

Dozens of city programs, including many non-profit social service programs, apply for the funds each year.

Proposals are evaluated over several months by a citizen committee that considers a range of benefits, including how closely the project matches federal goals to assist lower income populations and improve conditions

Rick Anderson, head groundskeeper for the Portland Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field, grooms the infield Thursday, an hour before game time on the front end of a homestand. The Sea Dogs returned home for a seven-game/eight-day homestand Thursday. Today, the Sea Dogs hit the field at 6 p.m., with fireworks to follow the game. That’s if Mother Nature cooperates. Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, the Sea Dogs have weathered a tough start to the season, weather-wise. “April baseball in the Northeast can create some weather challenges, as three of the team’s first 12 games have been postponed by rain,” said Chris Cameron, marketing manager for the Sea Dogs. “Fortunately, only of those has occurred at Hadlock Field. On April 16, all six games in the Eastern League were postponed by rain. All of the postponements will be made-up as doubleheaders later in the season.” The Sea Dogs went into last night’s game, following a 5-3 loss on Wednesday, and beat the New Britain Rock Cats 5-1, improving to 5-7 on the season.

‘Going the Distance’: Cake relives alt-rock heyday at State Theatre

BY MATT DODGE THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Saturday, April 23 This weekend brings an eclectic mix of national acts, talented transplants and a home-grown rap

sensation to Portland for a slew of shows offering everything from folk and talk-rock to indie bands and hip-hop.

Some highlights include: The State Theatre offers up another sold-out show featuring CAKE. The California alt-rock band one-

of-a-kind style is characterized by lead singer John McCrea’s half-sung, half-spoken vocals, as seen on singles like “Going the Distance,” “Short Skirt/ Long Jacket” and the band’s famous cover of Gloria Gaynor’s 1979 disco hit “I Will Survive.” see SHOWS page 6

Obama sends armed drones to NATO President authorizes use of armed Predator drones to attack Libya government forces

BY THOM SHANKER THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — President Obama has authorized the use of armed Predator drones to attack Libya government forces fighting the rebellion against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi as NATO struggles to regain momentum since taking command of the operation from the United States.

The deployment of armed Predators, announced Thursday by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, was in part a reaction to changing tactics by the Qaddafi forces, which are intermingling with civilian populations and mounting attacks from unmarked trucks and other vehicles, making them difficult to identify and attack by high-flying

NATO fighters and bombers.

The Predator remotely piloted aircraft, outfitted with Hellfire missiles, has been used with effectiveness against pinpoint targets in urban and rural areas in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Yemen and is a signature weapon of the American military.

But the challenges of the Libyan intervention were apparent again Thursday, when the Predators were sent aloft on their first missions but turned back due to bad weather.

Other NATO nations do not fly armed Predators, although they have unarmed versions for reconnaissance and targeting purposes, and the decision by Mr. Obama

to add these weapons to the Libya operation was viewed as another example of the struggle to fill gaps in NATO’s capability to carry out a complicated, extended combat mission with significant American support.

Those gaps have become more apparent as the United States transferred command of the Libya operation to NATO and stepped back to a supporting role.

“The president has said that where we have some unique capabilities, he is willing to use those,” Mr. Gates said at a Pentagon news conference.

“And in fact he has approved the use of armed Predators,” the defense secretary added. “So I think that will give us some precision capability.”

Senator Ensign to resign amid inquiry

BY ERIC LIPTON THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — Senator John Ensign of Nevada, the subject of an ethics investigation related to his affair with the wife of a former top aide, announced Thursday evening that he is resigning, effectively ending the high-profile Senate inquiry that had already ruined his once-promising political career.

“It is with tremendous sadness that I officially hand over the Senate seat that I have held for eleven years,” Mr. Ensign, a Republican, said in a statement he issued Thursday. “The turbulence of these last few years is greatly surpassed by the incredible privilege that I feel to have been entrusted to serve the people of Nevada. “ Republican Party operatives said Mr. Ensign’s resignation, which will happen May 3, would open the door for Nevada’s governor, Brian Sandoval, to appoint a Republican to fill out the rest of the Senate term, thereby increasing the chances that the party would hold onto what may be a hotly contested seat next year. One likely candidate is Representative Dean Heller, a Republican House member already running for the job. If Mr. Heller is appointed, he would essentially be able to run as an incumbent, and by leaving the House he could also avoid some of the politically charged votes expected to occur there in the coming months.

The resignation marks the final chapter in the career of a politician who some thought might reach the White House, but who instead got caught up in a particularly salacious Washington scandal. Mr. Ensign, a veterinarian and former casino executive, had cast himself as a religious conservative, and even lived with other lawmakers in a Capitol Hill townhouse run by a religious group.

But in 2007 he began an affair with the

Senator John Ensign giving an address to the Nevada Legislature in Carson City, Nev., in March. (Jessica Ebelhar/ Las Vegas Review-Journal, via Associated Press/New York Times)

wife of his best friend, and most loyal aide, Doug Hampton. Once, the Ensigns and the Hamptons vacationed together. Their children were playmates, and the senator even encouraged his friends to come to Washington.

After learning of the affair in 2008, Mr. Hampton confronted the senator. Soon after, he and his wife were paid $96,000 by the senator’s parents as a gift and he left the senator’s staff.

Humiliated, and struggling to make a living, Mr. Hampton threatened to make the affair public. Senate ethics investigators have been examining whether Mr. Ensign then tried to buy his silence by using his office to boost Mr. Hampton’s fledgling lobbying career. In a series of

interviews with The New York Times in 2009, Mr. Hampton said that the senator pushed people to hire him, with the understanding that he would be able to influence Mr. Ensign.

The final step in the Senate ethics investigation before a public statement about possible formal charges against Mr. Ensign would have been a sworn deposition by the senator himself. It is unclear whether that has occurred.Mr. Ensign has acknowledged that he helped Mr. Hampton get lobbying work, and that he then took official actions to help Mr. Hampton’s clients, an airline and an electric utility. But he said he did not take those steps at the request of Mr. Hampton, but because they were constituents.

City devotes next week to community development events GRANTS from page one

for the economically distressed.

Those committee evaluations result in a score that guides recommendations to the council. That list is joined by a separate list of recommendations, some typically different from the citizen list, from the city manager. After public comment and its own debate, the council has the task of finally awarding the money.

New this year is a limitation on city-initiated projects that tend to dominate the scoring. City staff helping in the evaluation process have reported that, without a set-aside, all of this year’s funding would likely go to municipal government-backed projects.

Instead, that is being limited to 85 percent of the total allotments.

In Portland, the city lists an array of improvements boosted by CDBG money, including playgrounds at Fox Street, Stone Street, Deering Oaks, Reiche and East End Community Schools; trees throughout the peninsula; Community Policing; numerous sidewalks to improve walk-ability within the city, plus landmarks such as the St. Lawrence Church, Abyssinian Meeting House and the Maine Irish Heritage Center.

The U.S. Housing and Urban Development agency requires two public meetings before the funding can be awarded. The first of those is slated for Monday and the second for May 9.

This year, the annual funding cycle will include several events to acknowledge “National Community Development Week,” a nationwide promotion designed to highlight CDBG projects with an eye to avoiding congressional budget cutbacks.

“For decades, these programs have made a real tangible difference in the lives of Portland residents and the prosperity for many local businesses,” said Portland Mayor Nick Mavodones in a press release.

“National Community Development week serves

Celebrating CDBG funding The city next week will celebrate the 25th annual Community Development Week with an array of events focused on accomplishments of locally administered federal grants. Here’s a listing: • Monday, April 25, 12:30 p.m. A press conference kicks off Community Development Week. At the Rotunda, City Hall • Monday, April 25, 5:30 p.m. The first of two public hearings on the 2011-2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations. The second is May 9. A the City Council Chambers, City Hall • Tuesday, April 26 6 p.m. Housing Programs Information Session (see related story), Room 24, City Hall • Wednesday, April 27, 3 p.m. retirement party for Dwight Gailey, room 209, City Hall.

• Friday, April 29, 10 a.m., a walk on the Bayside Trail featuring a number of CDBG projects along the way. It begins on the front steps, City Hall.

as a good reminder that these projects have helped shape our neighborhoods by embracing the city’s diversity, supporting local entrepreneurs and celebrating our heritage.”

That reminder begins Monday with a 12:30 p.m. press conference in the rotunda at City Hall that kicks off Community Development Week. It will continue with the first required public hearing at 5:30.

On Tuesday, the Planning and Urban Development Department’s Housing Division will sponsor an informational session to educate the public about the city’s first time home owner and housing rehabilitation programs.

Established in 1994, HUD’s HOME program (not to be confused with the homeless outreach program of the same name and also involved in the CDBG

process) was “designed to create affordable housing for low-income households by empowering people and communities to create and implement strategies tailored to their specific priorities.”

The city explains that the program “funds the rehabilitation of income-eligible owner-occupied properties with up to four units for as much as $15,000 per unit, and multi-family properties occupied by income eligible tenants. Eligible applicants may receive a forgivable loan, a low interest payable loan at zero to three percent … appropriate financing terms will be tailored to an individual applicant’s ability to pay. Deferred payment loans of up to $30,000 are also available for first time homebuyers for down payment assistance and other eligible costs for individuals and families purchasing their first home.”

On Wednesday, says the city, “... staff, contractors and residents will be able to express their appreciation to city rehabilitation specialist, Dwight Gailey at his retirement party.”

Gailey has worked for the city for more than two decades, helping hundreds of homeowners participate in city programs that help renovate homes.

On Friday, CDBG effects will be highlighted during a walk along the Bayside Trail.

The one-mile trail has been a cornerstone of the city’s urban trails program. It includes a 13.2 acre corridor that runs parallel to Marginal Way through the Bayside Neighborhood eventually connecting the Eastern Prom with Deering Oaks Park.

The $2.3 million trail was funded in part by a $100,000 CDBG grant.

All events are free and open to the public. Light refreshments provided by the Local Sprouts cafe and the Hot Suppa! restaurant will host the winner of a gift certificate for diner.

Both of those establishments are among the first local businesses to receive CDBG assistance as part of a jobs creation focus.

Buckfield man’s shooting death under investigation Maine State Police continue to investigate the shooting death of a man inside his home in Buckfield Wednesday night, according to the Department of Public Safety.

The body of 51-year-old Gregg Belanger was found when Oxford County deputies arrived at the house on Darnit Road, a Department of Public Safety press release stated.

The 911 call, at about 8:30 p.m., was made by Denise Belanger, 48, who discovered her ex-husband’s body, the press release reported.

An autopsy has been initiated at the State Medical Examiner’s Office, and detectives began gathering evidence from inside the ranch style home, as well as taking photos and measurements, the press release stated. Belanger was a welder at Bath Iron Works.

Scarborough town council bans tobacco on beaches Pack a bathing suit, but leave that pack of cigarettes at home. The Scarborough town council voted 4-2 on Wednesday evening to ban smoking at all town beaches. A popular seaside escape for Portland residents, the ban will mean no more butts at Pine Point, Ferry and Higgins beaches.

The council was responding to concerns about secondhand smoke and smoking related litter on and around

town beaches, according to the Press Herald. Those who violate the new policy could be fined between $100 and $500.

Whoopie pie becomes official state ‘treat’ Responding to concerns from health advocates over the high calorie snack being made the official state dessert, legislators voted instead on Wednesday to name the whoopie pie Maine’s state “treat” instead.

A bill making the slightly healthier blueberry pie the state dessert was also passed on Wednesday. The bill will take effect shortly after the close of this year’s session.

Anthem appeal dismissed The Maine Supreme Judicial Court dismissed an appeal from Anthem on Thursday after the insurance company contested the way in which the state superintendent set rates to allow for no profits.

The insurance company appealed a lower court decision which supported the superintendent’s decision to reduce 2009-2010 rate increases from 18.1 percent to 10.9 percent. The reduction would have meant a zero percent projected profit margin for anthem. In a 5-2 ruling, the court decided to dismiss the appeal citing the fact that the year in question has already passed, and new rates have already gone into effect.

City of Portland sends too many mixed messages about graffiti Editor, Just like politicians, the City of Portland is playing both sides of the graffiti/vandalism issue here in our city. On one side you have the Public Service Department providing the Portland Museum of Art city signs for decorating a fund raising event glorifying graffiti and street art. On the other you have workers from the same city department working countless hours (at great cost) cleaning and painting over graffiti covering many public surfaces. The Portland City Council decides to provide a public wall for street artists and graffiti writers to practice their "art" while private property owners are told the Portland Police Department is doing everything they can to catch graffiti vandals.

Now the city's quasi-municipal Creative Portland Corporation and Portland Arts and Cultural Alliance is trying to convince people that graffiti is art and has a place in Portland. At the recent Creative Conversations forum they organized I was asked to be a panelists representing property owners concerns about graffiti. I watched and listened in amazement as the organizers kept trying to steer the discussion towards art and "communal ownership" and away from the criminal aspects. The images I provided of graffiti vandalism in Portland were projected far less than the "pretty graffiti and street art" from others cities. The moderator even allowed the closing statement to be made by an audience member known to be "graffiti friendly."

This graffiti virus that is contaminating our city is containable and can be cured but not with our city leaders allowing mixed messages to be sent to the community.

Get ready for the ‘lobster summer’ Every summer, the tourists descend on Maine like furry muggers, seeking to eat every lobster they can fit in their mouths at a bargain basement “dock price.”

It can get messy in ways that a bib won’t help – remember those “lobster wars” up the coast last summer, with the alleged shootings, beatings and whatnot? Well, here is Captain Obvious to ring the alarm bell.

Folks, “you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Take the following ingredients, and mix them together to get your lobster sauce: A struggling economy, easing of trap regulations with regard to storage, “weekender” licenses for recreational lobster fishing, increased costs of replacing all your “floating” lines that link the traps together, and a market price so low, it barely covers fuel for the boat.

Now, mix in increased prices (and taxes, don’t forget) for diesel fuel, and you have not only the seeds of discontent, but an explosive combination of factors that could kill the lobster industry in Maine.

Many lobstermen last summer complained that the “dock price,”

Bob Higgins ––––– Daily Sun Columnist the amount paid to them by wholesale buyers, was too low.

They could barely make ends meet. One lobsterman from up the coast a bit who wished not to be identified summed it up thus: “Diesel to fill the boat 4.35, bait 125/barrel, 4.65/lb lobster and lucky if catch 15 lbs on a week set.”

At $4.35 for diesel, that is a 24 percent increase in fuel costs alone in a one-year period. Every business in Maine is getting hit hard by the increased fuel prices, but for a business that has perhaps been a marginal concern for the last few years, this might be the final coffin nail.

To cut costs nationwide, megachain restaurant Red Lobster parent company Darden Foods has even invested in “farming” lobster in locations overseas. At best, the proposals to attempt

it in Maine were problematic.

Darden Foods decided to go with the “overseas” option to lessen the costs of their farm-raised lobster product.

Even though the 10-year trend in lobster catch showed an increase in landings (50 million pounds in 2001, 95 Million pounds in 2010,) the value of that catch remained at about the same price per pound.

Those factors, coupled with the gut-shot announcement last year from the National Marine Fisheries Service biologists that they were considering a five-year moratorium on lobster fishing from Cape Cod to North Carolina to help “rebuild the stocks” make the concept of working in a marginally profitable industry about as attractive as a bucket of bait left too long in the August sun.

Not to be outdone, the “working waterfront” of the mid-1980’s is under increased pressure from pier owners to relax the regulations about commercial development. With a shrug and a nod to an industry that is dying, pier owners who currently rent to see HIGGINS page 5

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OPINION ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

The trouble with Trump Everything we really need to know about the character of Donald Trump was revealed when the wannabe president frivolously accused Barack Obama’s late grandparents of committing fraud with his birth announcement. Trump told CNN that they had placed the Aug. 13, 1961, announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser because they wanted to get “welfare” and other benefits. But this casual falsehood revealed only the tiniest hint of the truth about Trump that Americans will discover if he actually runs for the White House.

Anticipating such scrutiny, Trump should use more caution when mouthing off about “welfare,” for instance. His family wealth and his own business have both depended heavily on the corporate welfare that supports the real estate industry, starting with the Federal Housing Administration support that undergirded his father Fred’s residential empire more than half a century ago.

The sudden refurbishing of Trump as a rugged individualist is as ridiculous as those tea party zealots who hate all government programs, except their Medicare. In “Trump: The Deals and The Downfall,” the classic biography by investigative journalist Wayne Barrett, the mythology of the self-made success is pulled aside to show a scion of family privilege, abused power and political sleaze.

Young Donald learned early on about the rental supplements, tax abatements, government loans and other state capitalist tools available in his native New York — especially to a budding developer whose daddy greased the necessary connections to the Democratic political machine.

When Trump was getting started, Mario Cuomo was governor — and Donald hired the governor’s son, Andrew, who has since ascended to that high office. Meanwhile, he lavished money on Democratic pols high and low, and they repaid him with favors that made his projects financially viable.

In short, Trump is hardly what he claims to be — and voters will soon realize that very few of the man’s boastful statements about himself and his record can stand up to the slightest scrutiny.

“I was a great student, I went to the best schools,” he told a tea party rally in Florida recently.

Actually, he couldn’t cut it at the small New York City private school attended by his siblings, and he was removed to a military academy upstate that specialized in discipline for troubled and failing boys, where he barely earned a B average. From there, he went on to Fordham University and then the Wharton Business School at the University of

Pennsylvania. While both are very fine institutions, Trump coasted academically, although he later bragged that he had earned “the highest grades possible.”

––––– It is Trump’s bizarre remarks Creators about President Obama, including Syndicate his birthplace, his schooling and his literary career, that invite the examination of his own past. But perhaps it is pointless to criticize the bluster and hype that are, after all, the most important element in Trump’s success. Particularly for the Republicans whose party he may attempt to lead, the more pertinent questions concern his politics, policies and ideology. The answers can be summed up in a single word: opportunist.

Over the years, Trump has mostly donated money to Democrats, including Sens. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Harry Reid (that scourge of the tea party)

Joe Conason

and Rep. Anthony Weiner, the Brooklyn firebrand who often represents liberals on cable television. He gives to Republicans, too, but not nearly as much or as often. During the last cycle, he gave $10,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee — and $25,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In 2004, he gave to George W. Bush and to John Kerry.

He vocally supported the bank and auto bailouts; he praised Barack Obama before turning around to vilify him; he has endorsed higher taxes on the wealthy and sworn that he would never raise taxes, period. The single reliably Republican aspect of Trump’s life is his enduring connection with Roger Stone, a Nixon-vintage dirty trickster.

Watching him run will be fun — unless you’re a Republican who hopes to win back the White House.

Will fishermen just bag it, and tie up for the summer?

HIGGINS from page 4

lobstermen would like the chance to develop their properties and get something going on that isn’t 100 percent marine related.

Add all of that together. Now, do as I did last year and see the price for lobster in a retail seafood place down on Commercial Street running at $3.99 a pound. About half that went to the folks who got up before the sunrise, fired up the boats, and tended their pots.

Captain Obvious predicted higher prices back in that first paragraph. Am I right yet?

For all those that entertain the couch surfing relatives who come to gobble down the red sea-spiders, I’d let them know now about that potential case of sticker shock they might be seeing as the months progress. That might just make them rethink those dining plans.

As of January 2011, the combined tax on diesel fuel for federal and state is running at 49.4 cents per gallon. Those taxes are meant to pay for “infrastructure” of roads, highways, and bridges across the state and the country. Ask yourself this simple question. Why do commercial boat owners pay for that?

The last time I saw a lobster boat on the highway, it

Find us on...

was because it fell off the trailer it was on.

Will fishermen just bag it, and tie up for the summer, or at least until prices rise?

If tensions were high the last few summers, just a quick check of the bottom line would lead you to believe that they might be a bit higher this year. Say somewhere near 25 percent.

Caravan of Thieves at One Longfellow Square 8 p.m. Just Announced! Over A Cardboard Sea will open the show with a special duo featuring Timothy Findlen and Ukulele Eck! Stretching the parameters of acoustic swing, Caravan of Thieves has been winning immediate praise for their new and unique brand of gypsy flavored song writing and their high intensity show. The vocal harmonizing, acoustic guitar spanking husband and wife duo Fuzz and Carrie have extended their family to include fiery violinist Ben Dean and double bass madman, Brian Anderson to complete their colorful vision. Seeking inspiration from beyond the great divide, the quartet produces layers of Beatlesque vocals, driving rhythms, satirical, dramatic song writing and an overall circus of sound. $12/$18, all ages.

Tuesday, April 26 The Bad Plus at One Longfellow 8 p.m. Forget categories and catch phrases – the sound of The Bad Plus is distinctive, eclectic and formidable. The Bad Plus have exploded all notions of what a jazz piano trio should sound like – whether at outdoor rock festivals, jazz clubs or symphony halls. The Los Angeles Times ranked the trio “among the leaders of what might be called the Nu Jazz movement.” Newsweek declared their 2005 release Suspicious Activity? to be “among the freshest sounding albums of the year.” And according to Rolling Stone, “By any standard, jazz or otherwise, this is mighty, moving music … hot players with hard-rock hearts.” In short, a diverse array of music lovers has been seduced by The Bad Plus and their earnest, dizzying musicianship. $30, all ages.

Saturday, April 30 Badfish: A tribute to Sublime at the State Theatre 8 p.m. Badfish is a tribute band dedicated to playing the music of Sublime. The group is named after a song appearing on the album 40oz. to Freedom. Formed in 2001 at the University of Rhode Island, the group’s members, who were computer science majors, began playing local Rhode Island clubs and quickly began selling out shows. They continued touring the East Coast and Midwest of the U.S., becoming popular on college campuses among Sublime fans who never were able to see the band due to Bradley Nowell’s 1996 death. Since then the group has done multiple national tours per year. In 2008, the band was nominated for Best Tribute Act in the Boston Music Awards. $18 advance, $20 day of show.

Last Spouse show before hiatus 9 p.m. “Bitter-sweet and awkwardly nostalgic lyrics are delivered with José Ayerve’s token ‘feather smooth/sandpaper rough’ voice. The music on Confidence is purposefully more upbeat than some of the band’s previous offerings.

Still present are the intertwining layers of bass and guitardriven melodies over tight, emphatic drums. “Spouse is taking a break for a while,” writes Ayerve. “Not sure for how long, but that’s why they call it a hiatus. Our last show is April 30 in Portland.” Empire Dine & Dance; Spottiswoode & His Enemies (CD Release show); A Severe Joy (this is the new solo project Ayerve is working on). Doors: 8:30 p.m., show: 9 p.m. $8 adv/$10 door, 21 plus.

Roomful of Blues at One Longfellow

8 p.m. Since her head-first dive into the indie music world in November of 2009, Heather has co-written with Grammy-nominated composer Hui Cox (Richie Havens, Baba Olatunji, Liza Minelli), played more than 200 shows, and shared the stage with many celebrated acts like Meg Hutchinson, The David Wax Museum, Guy Davis, Caravan of Thieves, Carsie Blanton, Mike & Ruthy, Jill Sobule, and The Stone Coyotes. $10, all ages.

8 p.m. Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. In 2010, singer Phil Pemberton took over the vocal duties, bringing his sweet and soulful vocals and adding another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. $25, all ages.

Steve Martin performs with The Steep Canyon Rangers in Portland Wednesday, May 18. (COURTESY PHOTO)

8 p.m. It would be easy to call Brooklyn’s Goes Cube a metal band. After all, their music is heavy, loud, and often fast. But Goes Cube continually demonstrates that it exists in a universe all its own: outside the trends and styles of New York (where the band formed), and outside of the standard metal tropes — drawing on influences that also include punk, hardcore, noise, and indie rock. Their idea is simple: make the heavy heavier, fast faster, hooky hookier, and pretty prettier. Their new disc — In Tides And Drifts (The End Records) — even calls upon folk singer Jaymay, whose haunting melodies break hearts as the band behind her batters eardrums.

Waranimal are a totally excellent party metal band. Local punk (post-punk/hardcore/political/art/just-call-it-great) quartet Huak have a new full length coming this summer and open this show. HillyTown Presents works with both national touring acts and Maine musicians to curate unique live music experiences. $8, 18 plus.

Wednesday, May 18 Steve Martin: An Evening of Bluegrass & Banjo 7:30 p.m. Steve Martin performing with The Steep Canyon Rangers, An Evening of Bluegrass & Banjo, Merrill Auditorium. Steve Martin — actor, comedian, novelist, playwright, and musician — teams up with the accomplished bluegrass quintet Steep Canyon Rangers for an evening of bluegrass and banjo. “The Steep Canyon Rangers are a classic fiveman string band comprised of a guitar, fiddle, upright bass, banjo and mandolin. Martin adds a second banjo and additional vocals making for a unique and exciting sound.” Portland Ovations announced that Tony Trischka & Territory have been added to the concert. http://portlandovations.org

The program runs from April to November. In 2010, Graffiti Busters removed approximately 30,541 square feet of graffiti — 259 pieces of graffiti and 392 tags, according to LearningWorks; 89 young people participated in the removal. Since the program started in 1994, over 463,741 square feet of graffiti has been removed from 8,166 locations throughout Portland.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Paul Gilligan

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll work hard and accomplish what you set out to do. There will be a satisfying feeling at the end of the day. It will be as though the mountains and hills burst into song before you as you drive off into the sunset.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

For the sake of your own happiness, you’ll change how you think and react to certain situations. You’ll give up being right in favor of creating harmony in your environment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will benefit you to be around children and those whose sensibility is creative and childlike. These types will spout just the kind of nonsense that wakes up your brain cells.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You communicate well and with restraint.

Keeping it short actually requires more time. It means you’re thoughtful. You decide what is the most important part of your message and edit yourself accordingly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll lighten up by incorporating some silliness into your day. If you don’t do this on purpose, the silliness will still happen. It’s like the universe is conspiring to make you laugh. Your levity is infectious.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 22). In the next six weeks, a burden will be lifted. The air around you changes this year as your aura brightens. You’ll get the chance to model good character for loved ones in May. June brings fun and a roller coaster of emotional excitement. Business takes center stage in September, and there’s serious money to be made. Scorpio and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 30, 1, 11 and 39.

Pooch Café For Better or Worse LIO

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you know a relationship is strong, you feel safe enough to voice your agreements and disagreements alike. Keep this in mind when a loved one opposes you. It’s a sign that your relationship is healthy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you can appreciate a good romantic comedy, you realize that life rarely happens with the sweet humor represented in this entertainment. Today is a delightful exception.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The smoke and mirrors will be effective in diverting your attention, and you’ll enjoy the day’s illusions. Then something happens that is truly unexplainable. It’s the real magic, and you will be properly enchanted.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have time for speculative ventures now. You’ll do business with the one who has proved himself time and again.

You know the specific result you want to achieve and will settle for no less.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A kindness will be extended to you by a stranger.

This event will inspire you to pay it forward. It could be that you are an unknowing participant in someone’s master plan for global peace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everything requires maintenance. Your relationships, your body and your material possessions all benefit from the extra care and repair you give them now. It’s a day of restoration.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The why isn’t as important as the who, what and when. Show up and do what you said you would do, even if your reasons for doing it have changed. The change will be ongoing, but it’s important that you keep your word.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: Several weeks ago, something happened that keeps bugging me. My husband and I were riding in his car when I noticed a book he had been reading on the front floorboard. I picked it up and asked how he liked it. He said it was interesting and he was almost finished. I thought I might want to read it, too, so I flipped to the spot where he had marked his progress with a large card in an envelope. To my surprise, the envelope had his name written on it in a feminine hand with a fancy flourish. I asked what it was, and he said it was just his bookmark.

I am ashamed to say that an hour later I went back to the car to check it out, but the card and envelope had been removed and a blank piece of paper was in their place.

My husband and I have had marital problems based on his indiscretion with other women. I thought we had moved beyond that awful time, but now I am afraid he is again showing signs of fooling around. I hesitate to ask him about the card again. How can I regain confidence in our relationship and rid myself of the worry that is bugging me? I hate feeling like a mistrusting green-eyed monster. -- Barb Dear Barb: Spouses who have cheated in the past have a responsibility to be honest, transparent and forthcoming in order to regain trust. Your husband owes you an explanation.

Otherwise, his behavior seems suspicious and undermines your marriage. Don’t let him off the hook. Ask him about the card. If he makes excuses (“I lost it”) or turns the tables and accuses you of being jealous or irrational, it’s time to see a counselor, with or without him.

Dear Annie: I’ve known “Patrick” since my last year of high school. He is the funniest guy you’ll ever meet, but he has always been a friend to me and nothing more.

My best friend insisted that Patrick liked me as more than

a friend, but I didn’t believe her until now. Over the past several months, it has finally dawned on me that Patrick has strong feelings for me. All my friends pointed this out. They also said that Patrick had his heart broken before by someone who was painfully honest about not liking him back. He is often depressed because he doesn’t have a girlfriend.

I have tried to be a good friend to him, but that’s not enough, and now I think it might be making things worse.

Patrick texts me and tries to contact me every chance he gets.

I don’t want to hurt him, but I know it’s inevitable. How do I go about this in the kindest way possible? -- Feel Guilty Dear Guilty: First, recognize that you are not responsible for Patrick’s happiness or his ability to find a girlfriend. Then scale back the friendship. Be less available. Respond only occasionally to his messages, and don’t sound too chummy.

Never make the first move to contact him. And consider introducing him to other women who might appreciate his personality. He sounds like a good guy who could use a little help with his social life.

Dear Annie: I take exception to “Frustrated in Florida,” who was angry with her 87-year-old father because he wouldn’t give up drinking altogether, even though she felt it contributed to his medical problems. With both heart and cancer problems, I feel qualified to respond.

At age 87, he doesn’t need any aggravation, which only serves to hasten the end. Let us enjoy each day. I’m thankful my children understand and will even present me with a bottle of tequila once in a while. -- 85 and Counting Annie’s Snippet for Earth Day (credit Barry Commoner, 1970): “We declare that the proper use of science is not to conquer nature but to live in it.”

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please e-mail your questions to: anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Blvd., Ste. 700, Los Angeles, CA 90045.

His timeless comedy tackled the contradictions of America and modern life head on. But his unique gift was to tease apart the essence of religion, the dangers of unbridled government power and the double standards inherent in much of modern society, using nothing but his hilarious ideas and the uncompromising observational style that continues to resonate with successive generations.”

NR. “Francesca Woodman’s haunting black-and-white images, many of them nude self-portraits, now reside in the pantheon of great photography from the late 20th century.

The daughter of artists Betty and George Woodman (she a ceramicist and he a painter/photographer), Francesca was a precocious RISD graduate, who came to New York with the intention of setting the art world on fire. But in 1981, as a despondent 22-year-old, she committed suicide. The Woodmans beautifully interweaves the young artist’s work (including experimental videos and diary passages) with interviews with the parents who have nurtured her professional reputation these past 30 years, while continuing to make art of their own in the face of tragedy. The film grapples with disturbing issues, among them: parent-child competition and the toxic level of ambition that fuels the New York art scene.” ” http://www.portlandmuseum.org/events/ movies.php
