Casco Bay High model validated in report

BY MATT DODGE THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

An independent review of Portland’s newest high school is giving administrators a look into how the trail-blazing institution might improve on its new model for public education.

An evaluation of Casco Bay High School by the Great Schools Partnership cited the school’s “inclu-

The report also urges the school to draft and codify certain policies, according to a press release from the Portland School Board.

“We found the process to be thorough, timely and most informative,” Principal Derek Pierce said. “The report is very affirming, it affirms what’s working while giving us some fairly clear direction." see CASCO BAY HIGH page 3

Giving secession a rest: PeaksFest binds community In turbulent year, weekend festival welcome break for island residents

BY MATT DODGE THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Beginning as an intimate block party for Peak’s Island residents, PeaksFest celebrates its tenth year this weekend with festivities running today through Sunday.

On the heels of an unsuccessful bid for island secession from the jurisdiction of Portland, the festival sets aside political divisions, organizers said.

“PeaksFest is a celebration of the community of Peaks Island, Maine — our people, heritage, environment, neighborhoods, businesses, spirit, and lovable eccentricities,” according to the festival website.

“It’s a real slice of small community life,” said organizer David Cohan Cohan. “It was just going to be a block party, but there was just a lot of excitement and it kind of quickly evolved in that first year into a big, island-wide festival.”

PeaksFest gives year-round islanders and seasonal residents the chance to celebrate their see PEAKS page 6

Now we’re up to 14: Two more candidates register for mayor’s race

BY CASEY CONLEY THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Portland's increasingly crowded mayoral race has gotten even more crowded.

Bud Philbrick, the city’s elections

administrator, confirmed this week that Hamza Haadoow and Paul Schafer registered this month as candidates, a step that allows them to raise money and form committees.

All told, 14 people have registered

as candidates for the elected mayor, which will be decided Nov. 8.

Schafer, 36, is a videographer at Channel 8 News in Portland who has never before run for public office.

Fireflies: A tourism beacon ELKMONT, Tenn. — Lynn Faust remembers the old days of firefly season here.

You would hike into the woods at night, with nobody else around, waiting for one of nature’s strangest and most beautiful rituals. Then the fireflies would emerge, thousands and thousands of them, and under the moonlight they would all flash in unison. On. Off. On. Off. “It’s as though they wear little watches,” said Ms. Faust, 56, a biologist and naturalist who has studied fireflies for decades. “It’s awe-inspiring, it’s beautiful, it’s rhythmic and it’s bright. You’re surrounded by the fireflies.”

These days, you are also surrounded by the tourists.

The secret is out about this marvelously rare and very brief annual spectacle. About a thousand tourists a night come to Elkmont, a small trailhead in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, during the two weeks each June when the country’s largest population of synchronous fireflies puts on what locals call “the light show.”

Reactions tend toward the spiritual, and people wander out of the woods with the quiet, dazed look of those who have seen aurora borealis or a solar eclipse, or spent an hour getting massaged at Sedona.

“It’s mind-blowing, like a silent symphony,” said Daniel Carlson, 47, an engineer from Raleigh, N.C.

Weiner quits House seat over ‘mistakes’ (NY Times) — Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a high-profile New York Democrat who had been considered a leading candidate to be the city’s next mayor, said Thursday that he was resigning from Congress following revelations of lewd online exchanges with several women.

“I’m here to apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrass-

ment that I have caused,” Mr. Weiner said, adding that he had hoped to be able to continue serving his constituents. “Unfortunately,” he said, “the distraction I created has made that impossible.”

Mr. Weiner announced his resignation in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, at a senior center where he announced his first campaign for City Council in 1991. But while

that moment was filled with promise and excitement, his resignation occurred in a raucous and circuslike atmosphere, punctuated by shouting from a group of hecklers.

Mr. Weiner tried to deliver his brief statement in a restrained manner, but struggled to be heard above the din of the hecklers, some of whom shouted vulgarities and one of whom called him a “pervert.”

Bin Laden’s No. 2, Zawahri, White House defends U.S. role in Libya operation takes control of Al Qaeda (NY Times) — More than six weeks after American commandos found and killed Osama bin Laden in a Pakistan hideout, his second-incommand in Al Qaeda is officially replacing him, according to a statement it posted online Thursday.

Ayman al-Zawahri, an Egyptian who long served as No. 2 to Bin Laden, had been expected to inherit leadership of Al Qaeda, though the delay in announcing his succession led some counterterrorism analysts to see signs of a power struggle at the top following Bin Laden’s death in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2.

“The general command of Al Qaeda, after the completion of consultation, announces that Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahri has assumed the responsibility of the leadership of the group,” Al Qaeda said in a statement presented by the Al Fajr Media Center, the group’s online voice, and posted on jihadist Internet forums.

The statement did not provide details about the group’s decision, falling back on generalities. “We seek with the aid of God to call for the religion of truth and incite the ummah to prepare and fight,” the statement read, referring to the global community of Muslims.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The White House, pushing hard against criticism in Congress over the deepening air war in Libya, asserted Wednesday that President Obama had the authority to continue the military campaign without Congressional approval because American involvement fell short of full-blown hostilities.

In a 38-page report sent to lawmakers describing and defending the NATO-led operation, the White House said the mission was prying loose Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s grip on power.

In contending that the limited American role did not oblige the administration to ask for authorization under the War Powers Resolution, the report asserted that “U.S. operations do not involve sustained fighting or active exchanges of fire with hostile forces, nor do they involve U.S. ground troops.” Still, the White House acknowledged, the operation has cost the Pentagon $716 million in its first two months and will have cost $1.1 billion by September at the current scale of operations.

School’s model adapted from Expeditionary Learning Schools CASCO BAY HIGH from page one

Casco Bay High was formed nearly five years ago with the goal of educating students through interdisciplinary, in-depth studies of topics with assessments based on cumulative projects, public presentations, and portfolios. The model is adapted from the Expeditionary Learning Schools, which are based around the ideas of German educator Kurt Hahn, founder of Outward Bound.

Current enrollment at the school is about 300 students.

In one recent example of the Expeditionary Learning Schools model, Casco Bay High juniors studied the Gulf Coast BP oil spill, held a symposium on energy and environmental issues and presented research on topics from bio-fuel to wind turbines.

The students also raised money for a trip to Biloxi, Miss., where they participated in oil spill cleanup efforts and interviewed residents.

Upon returning to Maine, the students created multi-media oral histories based on their interviews, which were presented two weeks ago as part of a special exhibition at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.

The evaluation is the first one completed by the Great Schools Partnership, a Portland-based accred-

“We’re trying to move from being a start-up school to being a more mature, highly evolved institution and part of that is systematizing without stifling creativity.” — Principal Derek Pierce iting agency. The organization was chosen over the accrediting process run by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, which the Portland School Board says takes longer and costs more.

Based on observations, interviews with students and staff, and a review of student data, Great Schools Partnership’s year-long evaluation compared CBHS to other high schools using the Global Best Practices benchmarks developed by the New England Secondary School Consortium.

Calling the criticism from the evaluation “extremely useful," Pierce said that the suggestion that CBHS “codify certain school policies” is all part of being a fledgling institution. “It’s kind of part of our maturing. We’re calling ‘moving to version 2.0’ — documenting better how we do what we do and why we do what we do,” he said.

“We’re trying to move from being a start-up school

Tourism, promotion among goals MAYOR from page one

Milan, Italy, Schafer says he would focus on promoting the city as a tourist destination in the European markets.

“I think tourism is the lifeblood of this city, at least a certain part of this city,” said Schafer, who speaks French and Italian and is married to an Italian woman. “With a strong euro exchange rate, I think Portland can really benefit from promotion of tourism in Italy and also in France.”

He believes the city would also benefit from an outsider’s perspective, which allows him “to see the forest for the trees.”

“I am beholden to no one in this town, which will give me freedom to make decisions that will need to be made to promote business and tourism and fix up some of the bumps in the road that have been created over the years,” he said.

Haadoow, 37, has lived in Portland for about 10 years but is originally from Somalia. He has an accounting degree and is currently finishing a master’s program from Southern New Hampshire University in organizational leadership. He is married and works at Goodwill Industries.

Haadoow says he’s interested in helping the city’s small businesses market their products outside New England, and also in other countries.

“Geographically, Portland is a nice place to be, and I see opportunities where small businesses can grow and connect to the world,” Haadoow said.

He also wants to make it easier for people to start businesses by making sure they can easily access all the necessary information to succeed.

“Portland’s leadership, they are not putting together the buyers and the producers. I would like to create a place that the producer and the buyers can come together and exchange their ideas,” he said.

Although he has never run for public office before, Haadoow says he “loves participation and civic engagement.”

The November mayoral election will be Portland’s first since the 1920s.

Voters last fall approved changes to the city charter that converted the one-year, largely ceremonial mayoral post into a four-year elected position with more authority, including veto power over the budget.

The position also includes a pay increase: The person who is elected mayor will earn about $66,000, up from about $7,200 now.

Schafer and Haadoow join an already crowded field for mayor. Other declared candidates include Mayor Nick Mavodones, city councilors Jill Duson and Dave Marshall, Mike Brennan, Erick Bennett, Zouhair Bouzrara, Jed Rathband, Jodie Lapchick, Christopher Vail, Peter Bryant, Steve Huston and Charles Bragdon.

Political organizer Ralph Carmona and several candidates from Peaks Island are said to be running, although none have registered with the city, Philbrick said.

to being a more mature, highly evolved institution and part of that is systematizing without stifling creativity. [Things] like how we look at performance data, how we welcome and train new teachers in our practices, some things we might have done informally [before],” said Pierce.

Encouraged by Great Schools Partnership’s acknowledgment of CBHS’s “clear expectations for student learning," Pierce said the school’s standards-based system of learning is a cornerstone of the alternative educational model.

“In every class, every day, we post a learning target [of] ‘this is what your going to learn by the end of the day,’” he said. One such target used at CBHS asks students to create a compelling hook for an oral presentation, and sets them off researching examples of such techniques before devising and practicing their own.

“That, in combination with our pretty explicit efforts to make our curriculum relevant for all kids, makes them less likely to ask ‘Why are we doing this? What is this for,’” said Pierce.

CBHS is the first Portland high school to undergo the Great Schools Partnership evaluation, with Portland High School getting its own study underway, and Deering High School to follow within the next three of four years, according to Pierce.

Here’s why the Southern Maine Pride event fails to impress me Editor, Why Southern Maine Gay Pride sucks.

How many of the performers are from Maine as opposed to the ones hired from out of state when PRIDE should only be hiring Local Performers as this is what Gay Pride is all about. It's about MAINE, not from away. They have to hire people only from Maine to make this work. Otherwise, you have a Publicity Nightmare on your hands. Jun 18, 2011. What a joke.

Does one really expect a person of to even grace Gay Pride and pay $80.00 to $100.00 for a table when a Flea Market tables costs anywhere from $20.00 to $35.00? There is plenty of room in Deering Oaks but once again Greed has ruled in favor of generosity. That is no way to run an event like this.

The Kristen Ford Band should not have been hired out of Boston, Mass. I have no way of knowing where MeCa is from looking at the website.

Where is Miss Gay Maine and Mr. Gay Maine?

Not to mention, Miss Lesbian Maine, Miss BiSeuxal Maine, etc. What happened to them? Are they appearing? I don't want to see Miss Gay New Hampshire, I want to see Miss Gay Maine. I cannot find the information on the PRIDE website.

Who else is performing who is not listed?

As per usual, the supposedly gallant team of producers has screwed Gay Pride up again for the zillionth time. The players keep changing and I have been out of the loop on purpose. So, I have no way of knowing who produced last year’s events. I assume it was more of the same. Hiring people from away.

It’s not doing the people from Maine any good by not using all of Maines' talent pool as there is quite a pool of talent here. Think about that one. I am sure they did but it got overlooked. Gay Pride does not need people from away to make it successful at all.

It needs people from Maine. Period.

Things aren’t going well Things are quickly deteriorating around the world despite the mainstream media’s contention that the major concern facing our country is the future of a horny New York congressman’s tenure in a governmental body that over the last 20 years have performed acts against us more corrupt and heinous than a few pictures of Weiner’s underpants.

What started as a neatly packaged uprising in North Africa amongst people marketed to us as radical Muslims, but are really just people on the same planet as you and I who happen to pray to a different god, has now jumped north across the Mediterranean Sea to countries with people who have a lot more in common with us in appearance and lifestyle.

People in Greece have taken to the streets to oppose vast austerity measures the Greek government needs to implement in order to satisfy their debt to the European Central Bank, the EU’s equivalent to our privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.

The people there are angry at the prospect of their government’s having to pay back, at interest, money irresponsibly loaned to it to inflate their economy and lifestyles beyond their natural means. The movement is being

Jeffrey S. Spofford ––––– Ayuh! billed to us here as a simple uprising. In Greek newspapers, blogs, Twitter feeds and on the streets it is being discussed among the people as a revolution.

The collapse of the European Union doesn’t stop in Greece.

Just yesterday, the Irish government, in response to people demonstrating there, rebuked the European Central Bank’s demand that instead of default they accept loans to prop up their banks and insure their investor’s large monetary position in them.

The money troubles in Spain and Portugal continue with protests in the streets there as well. In Germany and France, the countries that have been propping them all up, people have begun to protest any additional monetary assistance for the “PIIGS.” With the continuing unrest, which will only grow when this spring’s worldwide drought starts to interrupt food supply and energy shortages there con-

tinue to crimp growth, the disintegration of the European Union is now less theory and more realistic outcome.

Across the globe in China, even with the information barriers set up to keep internal affairs under wraps, news is starting to trickle out from Reuters and other international news agencies that huge protests and “serious rioting” is beginning to break out in large Chinese metropolitan areas.

People involved in these protests aren’t holding placards; they’re bombing government buildings and fighting police. China supplies all our plastic pumpkins. Get yours now before supplies run out.

Japan’s troubles continue unabated. Three reactors at the Fukushima plant are still in a state of meltdown. Even in the most civil society on earth, people there have protested the continued use of nuclear power, resulting in the shutdown of not only Fukushima but other nuclear reactors in the country. Enough power capacity has been permanently lost to stifle, if not stop, production of most products that support everything technologybased in the world. Simply put, I wouldn’t expect to see an iPad3 anytime soon, if ever. see SPOFFORD page 5

Should we draw a line in the sand before the rest of the world does it for us?

SPOFFORD from page 4

Here at home, we’re told everything is fine. Sure, there are some problems, but people in government are working on it and certainly will have them fixed and the country back on the road to prosperity in no time. But are we still believing the same government that brought us to Iraq to extinguish WMDs; told us the bailouts would jump-start things for us when they simply preserved the wealth of others; insisted in the early 2000s that the best investment a family could make was in

real estate because values could go nowhere but up; implied that we would return to due process for captured enemies by closing military detention camps, ending torture, and bringing supposed combatants to trial in an open court of law?

I’m not.

We would be in the same predicament as the rest of the world right now if it wasn’t for the wars we manufactured under false pretenses but under the reality that we needed to send our men and women in to Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya for oil to fuel our economy. We would be in

a hole deeper than all the “PIIGS” combined if it weren’t for the private bank that issues our currency propping up markets and raiding our treasury to throw money at the big banks.

How long is the rest of the world, equally starved of energy and suffering financial turmoil, going to allow us to continue to wreck sovereignty in the name of the American way of life?

How long are other countries going to allow us to “take it all” for ourselves killing whoever and destroying whatever lay in our path?

Our leaders know what’s going on, but they’ve decided not to let us in on

it. Instead, we’re treated to diversionary stories of Arnold, unicorns and roasting Weiners. Tensions are building everywhere, and the civil unrest that is spreading around the globe will find its way here when the people of the world, including the American people, take a stand against the corrupt federal government. We’ve all allowed it to go on too long and now it’s beyond repair.

It’s time to prepare for that reality.

Gay Pride does not need people from away LETTERS from page 4

Why isn't Gay Pride a thing that happens over a three-day period to give people a chance to see different performers come and go and not just one day of 4 hours??? I know and you know that some Gay People work on Saturdays and they cannot attend Gay Pride at all. Why not have a Gay Pride that has performers on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to give the whole event more of a Positive Feel and to allow more of Maines' Talent Pool to come forward?

Of course, my darlings, this is Maine.

Stuck In BeverlyHillBillys, Maine. That is what living here feels like. Doesn't anybody know how to do anything

right? I'm doing this for a reason, not to be mean spirited. Wake Up! Obviously the event planners don't know enough about what it takes to make Gay Pride what it should be: About Mainers and For Mainers.

That is all I’m interested. Once again, PRIDE is a disaster. I’m not surprised. I even tried contacting the organizers of this big event but obviously they are out of touch with reality and what Maine needs, not what Maine doesn't need from away. Let that happen somewhere else. I did not get a reply, and I am not surprised.

Three-day celebration on Peaks Island starts at 6 p.m. tonight PEAKS from page one

unique community, according to Cohan. ”It’s islanders doing something to celebrate being islanders and a community that has an identity,” said Cohan.

Festivities for this year’s celebration include a pie-eating contest, dog show, Scottish dance, puppet shows and an “anything goes” costume parade at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

The three-day event starts at 6 p.m. tonight with the annual community "schmoozefest" and Bingo game at the Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association clubhouse.

The festival winds down on Sunday afternoon with the Common Hound Fair. Playing off the name of Unity, Maine’s annual Common Ground Fair, the Common Hound is a dog show for local pups and will

be held at 2:30 p.m. at the Lions Club.

Strategically scheduled for mid-June, the festival is a chance for residents to celebrate their unique sense of community before the Casco Bay island is overrun by the large tourist crowds of July and August. “It’s already getting really busy by July 4.

We try to do it before then so islanders get to enjoy and appreciate it,” Cohan said.

Referencing the splinter factions of Peaks residents who both support and condemn the idea of succession from Portland proper, Cohan said that political motives are put aside for the three-day festival.

“Even at the height of the most inflamed passions about island life, they forget it for the week,” he said.

A secession movement advanced all the way to the Maine Legislature, where legislators defeated it, calling for a new start to the process. Islanders

complain that Portland fails to provide services and argue that Peaks residents should govern themselves.

Those seeking a taste of the fun to be had during the annual festival need only visit YouTube and type in “PeaksFest” and “pie eating” to be treated to an impressive display of gluttony and enthusiasm from Peaks Island youngsters. “There are videos over the years of kids smashing their face into the pie and getting completely messy,” said Cohan.

While organized by Peaks residents, Cohan said the festival is open to anyone willing to ford the bay for a day of early-summer fun.

“We try to make it as much as we can about islanders and community life, but everyone is welcomed,” said Cohan.

Portland School Board member to attend meeting with Obama Portland School Board member Jenna Vendil is in Washington, D.C. today to attend a White House meeting with President Barack Obama.

At the White House, Vendil will attend a small reception with the President, and will meet with members of the Administration. Vendil was invited as part of a national program called the Young Elected Officials Network, run by People for the American Way (PFAW).

Young elected officials from around the country were selected to attend the meeting. Vendil, who was elected to the School Board in 2009, is Portland’s youngest elected official and currently Chairs the Curriculum and Education Planning Committee.

“I am honored by the invitation and look forward to sharing with President Obama all the exciting initiatives Portland schools are undertaking,” Vendil said in a statement. “I will also take this opportunity to share the challenges our schools face, and what we need to successfully prepare the next generation.”

Vendil, who ran for School Board in 2009 at the age of 24, said she met with local school administrators, staff, and students earlier this week to identify key issues to talk about with the President. She plans to give the President and administrative officials with copies of a policy book developed by Deering High School students that would improve policies and programs for Portland’s English Language learners.

Vendil represents District 1 on the school board, an area that includes the East End, downtown and parts of Bayside.

Lawmakers pass $6.1B budget, LePage promises a thorough review Both houses of the Maine Legislature yesterday passed a $6.1 billion budget proposal for the next two years that lowers taxes and includes changes to public employee pensions and state welfare programs, according to the Associated Press.

The measure passed 123-19 in the House and 29-5 in the Senate, well beyond the two-thirds majority required under state law.

A spokesperson for Gov. Paul LePage told AP he plans to review the proposal with “a fine-tooth comb.”

Under the plan, Maine’s highest income tax rate would drop from 8 percent to 7.95 percent, while those whose income puts them in the lowest bracket would pay no state income taxes, instead of 2 percent, AP reports. The estate tax threshold would be raised from $1 million to $2 million, and Maine tax codes would be revised to accept the federal personal exemption.

The proposal also ends a practice that allowed Maine’s gas taxes to increase with inflation and caps at five years the amount of time people can quality for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Programs, AP reports.

Nosh owner expands into Mexican territory

BY MATT DODGE THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The owners of one unique downtown eatery are preparing to head across the border, or at least across the street, with their newest dining venture.

Nosh owners Matt Moram and Jason Loring plan to open Taco Escobarr at the former site of yoga supply shop The Happy Yogi by midAugust after having cleared their building permit with the city on Monday.

“It's just a real basic taco stand,” said Moram.

“It's going to be a straight, old-school tacos and traditional Mexican food, rice and beans, tacos, enchiladas and burritos.”

Conceived as a short-order takeout restaurant, Taco Escobarr will also feature almost 40 seats and a full bar boasting a large selection of tequilas. “Ideally, once you order it'll be three of four minutes before you get your food,” Moram said.

Like Nosh, Moram hopes to cater to the

late-night bar and music crowd with weekend hours extending to 1 a.m. or 2 a.m and a provide a quick lunch option for downtown office workers with price points hovering around $6 for two tacos, according to Moram.

Drawing on the culinary talents of Nosh owner and former Texan Tom Barr, from whom the restaurant takes the second “r” in its name, Moram said Taco Escobarr will feature Barr's “speciality stuff” but not have the same comfort-food-gone-gourmet flavor as Nosh. “It's not a tie-in with Nosh brand, it's a totally different scene,” he said.

Moram said there has been a hole in the Arts District's Mexican food scene since the departure of Granny's Burritos and Herb's Gully, precipitating their expansion into the market.

“We weren't necessarily looking to do something this quickly after Nosh, but we knew space was becoming available because we have Jason Loring before the opening of Nosh Kitchen Bar, a deli and lounge in the the same landlord and it's the perfect fit,” he former site of the White Heart that has become a popular hangout in Portland. said.

Museum of Art to lease cafe space to Aurora Provisions

SUNDAYS 9am-3pm

The Cafe at Portland Museum of Art, which is currently closed for renovations, is due to re-open shortly with a new menu and a new name.

According to city documents, the museum is planning to lease its cafe space to Aurora Provisions, which has applied to the city for a license to serve beer, wine and liquor.

The new cafe has been tentatively named “Aurora Provisions at Portland Museum of Art,” documents show.

(FILE PHOTO) Aurora Provisions’ liquor license application is expected to be reviewed by the city council at the June 20 meeting.

Museum officials were reluctant to comment on pending changes to the cafe.

"There’s no story ... unless you want your story to be two words,” said Kristen Levesque, marketing and public relations director for the museum.

The cafe will be open for breakfast and lunch, and also will provide catering for events at the museum.

Although the cafe is currently closed, an letter enclosed with the pending liquor license application said the cafe could re-open as soon as June 21.

Levesque later conceded that the museum intended to send out a press release on the cafe changes sometime next week.

Gerald Sabatino, who is listed as an applicant on Aurora’s liquor license forms, did not return a phone call yesterday.

Little League softball team scores comeback win

BY JEFF PETERSON SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

If you look at the score, it may seem like just another Little League softball game, but for the many parents, players and coaches, it was a game that will provide plenty of memories for years to come.

Giroux Energy came from behind to win the Portland City Championship Game over Cityside Events 6-5. On paper when you have the second seeded team with a record of 11-3 going up against the fifth seeded team, which was 7-7, it looked like an easy win for Giroux. That was not the case. "It was a great game," said winning head coach Chris Gilbert.

"Both teams battled and it showed in the end, being a one-run game."

After three innings it was 2-2, then Cityside took the lead. Charlie Green stole third and scored on an error to give them the lead.

In the bottom of the fourth, Giroux took the lead right back. Meredith Cilley scored on a fielders choice to tie it up and Carly Peterson touched home after a wild pitch to make it a 4-3 game.

"It went back and forth and back and forth," said Gilbert. "That's what happens in the playoffs."

In the top of the fifth, Cityside caught fire. After pretty much dominating on the mound, Giroux pitcher Isabelle Dimillo gave up three straight hits. A single by Kaylee Helmick, Caytlin DiDiase's triple and a single up the middle by Arianna Fagone put Cityside back on top 5-4.

After a huge double play to end the top of the fifth, Giroux played some small ball in the bottom half of the inning to get the lead again. Annie Twombly and Sydney Gilbert both scored on ground outs from third to give Giroux a 6-5 lead.

In the final inning, it was all about Isabelle Dimillo.

"She is one of the top three pitchers in the city and she showed why in the sixth inning," said the Girous coach.

Dimillo ended up with 14 strikeouts in the game, but her last three ended the game. She struck out the side to to give Giroux the 6-5 win and the City Championship.

"This was my fifth year coaching and my first championship," said Gilbert. "I have to say it felt good. The girls are at an age where they are learning and having fun, but they want to win as well."

Speaking of winning, Giroux won its last seven games in a row, including three playoff games.

"The winning streak did a couple of things," explained Gilbert. "It gave us confidence and it really put us on a roll in the postseason."

To say it was a team effort would be an understatement. Usually softball comes down to a couple of talented play-

ers. That wasn't the case for Giroux.

"We had lots of depth including when it came to pitching and catching," said Gilbert.

"Everyone contributed, including our new players. Madison Legassey scored out first run in the title game. She had never slid before, but had one of the best slides I had seen all season. Carly Peterson made a huge catch in left field in the semifinal game with two runners on to end a rally and Annie Twombley caught a ball with the bases loaded in the final game of the regular season and ended up making a double play. It was somebody different every night."

Not only did the team earn the City Championship, but they earned an ice cream after the game from the sponsor, Giroux Energy. The perfect way to end a championship season in Little League Soft- Giroux Energy came from behind to win the Portland City Championship Game over Cityside Events 6-5. The girls playing Majors in Little League Softball are between the ages of 10 and 13. ball.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There have been times when you felt small and needy, like a child who requires constant care and attention. Because you’ve had that experience, you are compassionate with one who is going through such a stage now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You express your love so effortlessly that it is difficult for you to imagine that others cannot do this. For whatever reason, it’s hard for some people to emote. Knowing this, don’t take their nonresponse too personally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will not have the luxury of a completely controlled environment. There is one element that will prove unmanageable for today and many days to come.

This will be a continual source of fun and adventure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can only take so much hard work, isolation and solitude before you just want to break out and join the party -- especially if the action is relatively mindless. Tonight brings just the release you need.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You need help. Decide who can help you and why they should. Then build the perfect pitch. Don’t forget to highlight the rewards and benefits that will surely come to any assistant of yours.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 17). It is a talent of yours to expertly work out mutually beneficial arrangements. You’ll bring people together in unexpected ways and create scenarios that only you could. The next six weeks give you more to work with in terms of financial and emotional resources. Family makes you proud in September. Leo and Taurus are your supportive fans. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 12, 42, 39 and 14.

Pooch Café For Better or Worse LIO

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are difficult to predict, and that is precisely why so many people are watching you now. Even you are not so sure what your next move will be, but it’s certain to be exciting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your emotional state will have a profound effect on your social interactions. So before you leave the house, take time to center yourself and slip into a fantastic mood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You present yourself in such a way that many will want to buy what you are selling. This probably isn’t about moving hard goods. Rather, it’s a certain attitude you exude that people find highly contagious.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid clashes. Be careful about what software you add to your computer, because it could conflict with what is already working quite well. Similarly, be careful about adding new people to your social circle.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always have to stand out to do well in business, and the same goes for your personal relationships. It takes courage to be ordinary, and you’ll find that you don’t really need extra attention right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being uncomfortable with a circumstance will inspire you to fantasize about an alternate reality. However, avoid escaping to a romantic dream when you could be focused on making your reality better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because you’re in a good mood doesn’t mean your life is without stress. You’ll handle it better than most, though, as you discover a positive way to alleviate the pressures that have built up over the week.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, June 17, the 168th day of 2011. There are 197 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 17, 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill took place near Boston.

The battle (actually on Breed’s Hill) proved a costly victory for the British, who suffered heavy losses.

On this date: In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor aboard the French ship Isere (ee-SEHR’).

In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which boosted U.S. tariffs to historically high levels, prompting foreign retaliation.

In 1940, France asked Germany for terms of surrender in World War II. In 1944, the republic of Iceland was established.

In 1961, Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West while his troupe was in Paris.

In 1971, the United States and Japan signed a treaty under which Okinawa would revert from American to Japanese control the following year, with the U.S. allowed to maintain military bases there. President Richard M. Nixon declared a “war” against drug abuse in America in a message to Congress.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon’s eventual downfall began with the arrest of five burglars inside Democratic national headquarters in Washington, D.C.’s Watergate complex.

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan announced the retirement of Chief Justice Warren Burger, who was succeeded by William Rehnquist. Singer Kate Smith died in Raleigh, N.C., at age 79.

In 1991, the remains of President Zachary Taylor were briefly exhumed in Louisville, Ky., to test a theory that Taylor had died of arsenic poisoning (results showed death was from natural causes).

One year ago: BP chief executive Tony Hayward told a congressional hearing he was “deeply sorry” for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but infuriated lawmakers as he disclaimed knowledge of any of the myriad problems leading up to the disaster.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Peter Lupus is 79. Actor William Lucking is 70. Singer Barry Manilow is 68. Comedian Joe Piscopo is 60.

Actor Mark Linn-Baker is 57. Musician Philip Chevron (The Pogues) is 54. Actor Jon Gries (gryz) is 54. Movie producer-directorwriter Bobby Farrelly is 53. Actor Thomas Haden Church is 50. Actor Greg Kinnear is 48. Actress Kami Cotler (TV: “The Waltons”) is 46. Olympic gold-medal speed skater Dan Jansen is 46. Actor Jason Patric is 45.

Rhythm-and-blues singer Kevin Thornton is 42. Actor-comedian Will Forte is 41. Tennis player Venus Williams is 31. Actor Damani Roberts is 15.

DEADLINE

before and wanted to take it overseas with him. Instead of telling my brother that she had given it to me, my sister asked me to mail it back. I did.

Is there some rule of etiquette about what happens to gifts you give to parents? Is my brother entitled to take this back because he was the one who gave it to them? Or can the surviving parent give it to whomever he chooses? It made me sad to return it, because I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy that memory of my mother again. -- Just Wondering Dear Wondering: When a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient, who can then do with it as he or she chooses. In many instances, however, people who are cleaning out their belongings often return items to the original givers. Sometimes this is appreciated, but not always, and it certainly is not a requirement. That said, you did the right thing returning the nativity set to your brother. It obviously means as much to him as it does to you, and we are certain that fighting over it would not have pleased Mom. Bravo for taking the high road.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Desperate for Advice,” whose friend confided that she tricked her husband into getting pregnant. I have a beef with friends who expect you to keep a secret even they don’t keep.

My friend’s husband got a DUI and didn’t want anyone to know. But she told a friend, who told a friend, who told another, and now several of us have to pretend we know nothing while we watch the husband surreptitiously water down his booze in order to comply with his probation.

That wife has put the burden of her secret on others and deserves to be exposed. -- Kentucky Dear Kentucky: We agree that the wife should not have told anyone but her husband. Even so, it is not the business of third parties, and “Desperate” should stay out of 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.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My father is a dentist and earns a good living, but he is going after my money. When I graduated from high school, he took the money relatives and friends sent me and kept it for himself. A year later, he and Mom were going through a divorce, and he subpoenaed my work records to find out what I was earning. Their divorce was finally settled, but when Dad found out I was awarded a partial college scholarship of $980, he wanted “his share.”

Mom and Dad both paid for my college tuition, but I worked hard to earn that small scholarship so I could stand on my own two feet. I am frustrated and a little disgusted with my father’s greed. Shouldn’t he feel proud of his daughter’s accomplishment instead of trying to steal it? His true colors came out during the divorce, and I took my mother’s side.

Now he apparently has divorced me, as well. I support myself and don’t believe he is entitled to my money. What should I do? -- Spurned Daughter Dear Daughter: Unless Dad is planning to take you to court for that money, we think you should ignore his demand. It is mean-spirited and punitive. Some disturbed and misguided parents try to hurt the ex-spouse by going after the children.

We hope Dad will calm down, and while you’re waiting, please consider both legal and emotional counsel. Your college counseling department should be able to help.

Dear Annie: My mother passed away last year. When my sisters put up the Christmas decorations for Dad, they asked if I wanted a nativity set. I said “yes,” and they mailed it to me. I really enjoyed looking at it last Christmas. It was a lovely reminder of my mother.

A few weeks ago, my brother decided he wanted that same nativity set and called my sister to see if she knew where it was. Apparently, he had given it to my parents many years

Scarborough law enforcement firing range 11 a.m. Scarborough Fish and Game Association will dedicate its law enforcement firing range in the memory of Stanley W. Sontz, who was instrumental in creating this special shooting range for training and use by law enforcement and governmental agencies in the Greater Portland area and beyond, the association reports. Gates will open at 10 a.m. for a tour of the facility prior to the ceremony. “Stan Sontz had the foresight to realize that a safe firearms range was needed for law enforcement training,” the association states.

“The requests for range use at the facility were growing in the late ‘90s, and when a department needed to train, Scarborough Fish and Game would shut down ranges for use by its club members to allow the law enforcement men and women to use them. Stan approached the membership in May of 2001 and explained that by building a range exclusively for law enforcement training use that we would be meeting our goals of serving the needs of the local community as well as the membership. ... Stanley W. Sontz passed away on June 23, 2009, at the age of 68.” Scarborough Fish and Game Association is located at 70 Holmes Road, Scarborough (across from Beech Ridg Speedway). 671-0520

‘Winter in Wartime’ at the PMA 6:30 p.m. Portland Museum of Art presents “Winter in Wartime” as part of its Movies at the Museum series. Friday, June 17, 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, June 18, 2 p.m.; Sunday, June 19, 2 p.m. Rated R. “Nazi-occupied Holland, 1945. In a snow-covered village, 13-year-old Michiel is drawn into the Resistance when he aids a wounded British paratrooper.

Michiel‘s boyish sense of defiance and adventure soon turns to danger and desperation, as Michiel is forced to act without knowing whom to trust among the adults and townspeople around him. Wartime’s harsh reality encroaches on childhood innocence as Michiel confronts good and evil, courage and duplicity, and his own burden of responsibility.

Winter in Wartime is based on the award-winning semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Dutch author Jan Terlouw, who experienced five years under German occupation and whose vicar father was twice arrested and threatened with execution. In Dutch, German, and English with English subtitles.” http://www.portlandmuseum.org/events/ movies.php

Portland premiere of ‘Forks Over Knives’ 7 p.m. Author/two-time survivor Meg Wolff will lead a Q&A discussion at the June 17 Portland premiere of “Forks Over Knives.” Healthy-eating advocate and author Meg Wolff of Cape Elizabeth will lead a four-person panel to answer questions June 17 after the first showing in Portland of the “Forks Over Knives” documentary. “The film explores the idea that most of our major health issues — including heart disease, cancer and diabetes — can be prevented and even reversed — by following a whole-foods, plantbased diet (based on whole grains, beans and vegetables).

‘Forks Over Knives’ will have a weeklong run at the Nickelodeon theater in Portland, starting with a 7 p.m. showing on June 17. A short Q&A session will follow this showing, with questions fielded by Wolff, two doctors — John Herzog, an orthopedic surgeon in Falmouth, and Reuben Bell, a family physician in Saco — and a representative of Whole Foods Market. Wolff, a survivor of both bone and breast cancer who credits adopting a plant-based diet with helping to save her life, was moved to help bring the film to Portland after seeing it in New York City last month.”

In Southern Maine the press calls her a phenomenon; in Northern Maine she’s proclaimed an Icon. The status of a super model has its challenges: Keeping her mascara from running while racing from the pap-

arrazzi being just one of them. No matter what region she’s appearing in, she’s regarded as hilarious.” Performances are Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m.

‘The Blue Moon Chronicles’ 8 p.m. Pearwater Productions brings to Lucid Stage “The Blue Moon Chronicles,” “a wonderfully funny and critically acclaimed, Gay romantic-comedy for its Maine Premiere.

‘The Blue Moon Chronicles’ is a humorous look at gay life. Portland resident Jeffrey Kagan-McCann wrote the plays. The first installment of the Chronicles, ‘Once In A Blue Moon,’ first premiered in workshop in Hartford, Conn. Then the show premiered in Seattle, Wash., two years later, then two years later he added its farcical companion piece, ‘My Gay Son’s Wedding.’ Both plays were instant hits and played to sold out houses. In 2002, he premiered both plays together under the new title, ‘The Blue Moon Chronicles.’ The play centers on Eric Callahan, a young, ambitious, uptight, Jewish-Catholic, gay Lawyer from New Haven, Conn., who’s searching for the meaning of love, happiness and acceptance.” Playing in June.

Zemya means ‘earth’ in Bulgarian, and these songs grow from the deep soul of the world’s folk music heritage. ... Loop 2.4.3 is a composer/performer duo that has drawn comparisons to Steve Reich, Battles, Harry Partch, Moondog, Konono No.1, Brian Eno, and Belle Orchestre — an assortment that alludes to their hard to classify, yet visceral aesthetic.”
