In a move that increases chances that interna-tional ferry
service returns to New England next year, the Nova Scotia
provincial government has agreed to subsidize some start-up costs
for the ser-vice, offi cials in Canada confi rmed.
Meanwhile, the Yarmouth (NS) group pursuing
restoration of the service has narrowed its vendor search from
four proposals to two, offi cials said.
The Daily Sun has also learned that the Yarmouth process has
stalled because provincial offi cials have demanded more
information before committing to either of the plans under
consideration.
At issue is restoring the decades-old ferry link between New
England and Nova Scotia that ended
when the high-speed Cat stopped service. While Yarmouth offi
cials insist they can create a service for next year, they conceded
that such a late start brings many economic challenges.
While the Cat received millions of dollars in annual Nova Scotia
subsidies, the government had signaled little interest in
subsidizing the
Canadian province to subsidize intl. ferry

Olympia Sports is closing its down-town location at the end of
December after 13 years of business.
The company said the decision to close the store at 544 Congress
Street was based on several factors. The state of the economy, has
caused all retail-ers to evaluate each location very
carefully, according to a press state-ment from the company
Thursday.
We feel as though our surrounding locations adequately serve the
greater Portland community, and afford us the opportunity to
effectively provide our Portland area residents with the ser-vice
and convenience they have come to rely on us for, said the
release.

AUGUSTA (AP) Now a minority in Maines House of Representatives
for the fi rst time in three decades, Democrats on Thursday chose
their key state budget negotiator as their fl oor leader for the
upcoming two-year session, while promising to return in two years
as a majority once again.
For minority leader, the Democrats chose Rep. Emily Cain of
Orono over Reps. Seth Berry of Bowdoinham and Cynthia Dill of Cape
Elizabeth. Cain served for the last two years as Appropriations
Committees House chair, while Berry served as in the No. 2 fl oor
position as majority whip. Dill, a lawyer, has served two House
terms.
As head of Appropriations, Cain played a key role in diffi cult
budget deliberations involving both par-ties, experience she said
put her in a unique position the lead a caucus that has not been
relegated to minor-ity status since the 1973-74 session.
Even though shes barred by Maines term limits from seeking a fi
fth consecutive term in 2012, Cain pledged to recruit Democratic
leg-islative candidates who can help restore her partys control of
the House, she said.
Today is not an end, just a moment in the process, said Cain,
who urged caucus members to view themselves not as a new minority
but as an emerging majority.
Maine House Democrats choose leaders
WASHINGTON (AP) The House ethics committee on Thursday
recommended cen-sure for longtime Rep. Charles Rangel, sug-gesting
that the New York Democrat suffer the embarrassment of standing
before his colleagues while receiving an oral rebuke by the speaker
for fi nancial and fundrais-ing misconduct.
Censure is the most serious congres-sional discipline short of
expulsion. The House, which could change the recom-mended
discipline by making it more seri-ous or less serious, probably
will consider the recommendation after Thanksgiving.
The ethics committee voted 9-1 to rec-ommend censure and that
Rangel pay any taxes he owes on income from a vacation villa in the
Dominican Republic. The fi ve Democrats and fi ve Republicans on
the panel deliberated for about three hours behind closed
doors.
Earlier, at a sanctions hearing, the 20-term congressman
apologized for his misconduct but said he was not a crooked
politician out for personal gain. He was in the House hearing room
when the ethics committee chairman, Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of
California, announced the rec-ommendation.
Rangel faced Lofgren after the verdict and said, I hope you can
see your way clear to indicate any action taken by me was not with
the intention of bringing any disgrace on the House or enriching
myself personally.
The vote against censure probably came from Rep. G.K. Butterfi
eld, D-N.C., a former member of his states Supreme Court. He said
before deliberations that he believed the facts merited a
reprimand. A less serious punishment, a reprimand requires a House
vote, but theres no oral rebuke.
Its unclear how much Rangel owes in taxes. An ethics committee
document indicated he owed $16,775 as of 1990, but Rangel has paid
some of his back taxes.
The ethics committees chief counsel, Blake Chisam, had
recommended censure for Rangel. The ethics committee could
have opted for lighter punishments, such as a reprimand, a fi ne
or a report deplor-ing the congressmans behavior. Chisam,
responding to questions from committee members, said he personally
believed that Rangels conduct did not amount to corrup-tion.
Rangel, 80, ended the sanctions hearing with an emotional plea
to salvage his repu-tation.
Before speaking, Rangel sat for several minutes trying to
compose himself. He placed his hands over his eyes and then his
chin, before he slowly stood up and said in a gravelly voice that
was barely audible: I dont know how much longer I have to live.
Facing the committee members, he asked them to see your way
clear to say, This member was not corrupt.
He continued: Theres no excuse for my behavior and no intent to
go beyond what has been given to me as a salary. I apologize for
any embarrassment Ive caused you individually and collectively as a
member of the greatest institution in the world.
In the most dramatic clash of the pro-ceeding, Rep. Michael
McCaul, R-Texas, questioned the assertion of Rangel the former
chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee that he wasnt
corrupt.
Failure to pay taxes for 17 years. What is that? McCaul asked,
referring to Ran-gels shortchanging the Internal Revenue Service on
rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic.
McCaul also noted the committees fi nd-ing that Rangel solicited
donors for the Charles B. Rangel Center at City College of New York
from donors who had business before the Ways and Means
Committee.
After an investigation that began in summer 2008, Rangel was
convicted Tues-day by a jury of his House peers on 11 of 13 charges
of rules violations.
He was found to have improperly used offi cial resources
congressional let-terheads and staff to raise funds from businesses
and foundations for the Rangel Center. A brochure with some of
Rangels solicitation letters asked for $30 million, or $6 million a
year for fi ve years.
He also was found guilty of fi ling a decades worth of
misleading annual fi nan-cial disclosure forms that failed to list
hun-dreds of thousands of dollars in assets, and failure to pay
taxes on his Dominican unit.
Chisam said donations to the Rangel Center were going poorly,
then spiked after Rangel rose to the top of the Ways and Means
Committee. He noted the center would benefi t minority students and
asked, What kid of example is that of what public service ought to
be?

Jobless bene ts to expire as Congress debates tax
WASHINGTON (AP) Jobless benefi ts will run out for 2 million
people during the holiday season unless they are renewed by a
Congress thats focus-ing more attention on a quarrel over
preserving tax cuts for people making more than $200,000 a
year.
Its looking iffy at best whether Congress will renew jobless
benefi ts averaging $310 per week nationwide that are presently
claimed by almost 5 million people who have been out of work for
more than six months.
An extension of jobless benefi ts enacted this summer expires
Dec. 1, and on Thursday, a bill to extend them for three months
failed in the House. Democrats brought the bill to the fl oor under
fast-track rules that required a two-thirds vote to pass.
Republicans opposed the legislation because they were denied a
chance to attach spending cuts, so the measure fell despite winning
a 258-154 majority.

Harry Potter
actors share torrid kiss
SAYWHAT...A kiss that is never tasted, is forever
and ever wasted.Billie Holiday
LONDON (AP) Daniel Radcliffe was expecting a tender embrace when
it came time to kiss co-star Emma Watson in the new Harry Potter fi
lm. What he got was torrid necking, Watson working magic with her
lips like an animal, he said.
I thought it was going to be like a soft, sensual sort of
moment, and it was this very vigorous kissing scene, said
Radcliffe, reprising the title role in Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows: Part 1, the second-to-last of the big-screen adven-tures
about the teen wizard, which opens Friday.
She really went for it, I have to say. It caught me slightly off
guard, but yeah, Im not complaining. Many men would lose a limb to
be in that position, Radcliffe said in an interview.
The fi lm casts Harry and best pals Hermione Granger (Watson)
and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) out into the world to fend for
themselves, and the jour-ney puts severe strain on their
friendship.
Under the spell of an arti-fact containing part of the evil
Voldemorts soul, Ron is sent into a jealous rage by a vision of
Hermione, the girl he loves, and Harry taunt-ing him as a third
wheel in their relationship. Hermione and Harry then turn to each
other and do some kissing that looks positively bestial.
That was mainly Emma, I have to say, said director David
Yates.
The fi rst take was too tame, and Yates said he told the actors
it needed to be more pagan and mad. Thats when Watson really
delivered.
I guess I just realized that I would have fewer takes to do if I
just got on with it and just gave David what he wanted, which was a
passionate kiss. Which was something that would really rock Rons
boat and really be quite painful and nasty for him to watch, Watson
said.
Grint shot Rons raging reactions alone, without Watson and
Radcliffe on set. But he was on hand for Watson and Radcliffes
por-tions, though he was struck by a case of the giggles watching
the colleagues he grew up with in the Harry Potter franchise
getting down and dirty.
When they were there actually fi lming that kiss, they did
actually want me there to kind of play off something, but I just
found that too funny, Grint said. Emma sent me out because I kept
laughing. It just looked really strange.

AUGUSTA (AP) Just as doctors and pharmacists have done, Maine
medical marijuana caregivers are forming a trade association to
give them a unifi ed voice in the state. But its members say it
also will help to ensure good prices for the pain-easing drug and
advocate for patients.
Were here fi rst and foremost to advocate on behalf of peoples
whose job this is, Jonathan Leavitt, board chairman of Medical
Marijuana Care-givers of Maine said Thursday. Were also here to
guarantee that patients get the best prices, and thats going to be
done by forming real solid rela-tionships with caregivers and
helping them network to lower their prices.
The announcement at the State House came a year after Maine
voters expanded a decade-old medical mari-juana law. The law set
the stage for a formal system for obtaining the drug and authorized
one dispensary for each of the states eight regional public health
districts.
Maine also allows caregivers to pro-vide one-on-one services to
patients who suffer from chronic, painful ill-nesses and fi nd
relief in marijuana. About 100 of the roughly 500 caregivers in the
state have banded together in the new trade association, Leavitt
said.
Besides creating a setting for making patient referrals, Leavitt
sees the association as a single voice to advocate for common
interests. For example, its members see a need to drop a portion of
the law that requires marijuana-treated patients to be reg-istered
with the state.
We resent that, said Leavitt, who noted that recipients of other
medi-
cines dont have to be registered.The state Health and Human
Ser-
vices Department said there are now 102 registered patients and
about 100 more applicants. But offi cials are anticipating 800 more
later this year as dispensaries gear up for ser-vices. Caregivers
also would like to be allowed to legally posses more than 2.5
ounces of marijuana.
The association provides caregivers with a network for exchanges
of sup-plies of marijuana, which Leavitt said can help them to
offer marijuana to patients for signifi cantly less than the $350
to $400 per ounce he says some dispensaries charge.
Leo Trudel, executive director of Safe Alternatives, a
dispensary in the northern Maine town of French-ville, said his
business charges $250 an ounce, although he acknowledged that
prices are not cheap, due to qual-ity assurance costs and the laws
of supply and demand.
Growing marijuana for medical use is not like growing tomatoes
in your backyard, Trudel said.
But caregivers see themselves as alternatives to dispensaries
for patients, not competitors.
Would I tell a patient not to use a dispensary? Absolutely not,
said Fred Kessler, a patient who suffers from Chrons disease and is
on the board of the caregivers association.
Kessler, a former unsuccessful applicant to operate a dispensary
in western Maine, sees a role for the caregivers association in
establishing standards for the drug and self-polic-ing in addition
to working with state policymakers.
Marijuana caregivers form unit
replacement service. That has apparently changed, at least in
the initial phases.
Yes, the province has indicated it may fund some starting costs,
said Dave Whiting, director of the Yarmouth Area Industrial
Com-mission, in a telephone interview Wednesday. The assistance
would not likely extend to operating expenses, he added. As
examples of what might be funded, he said a more intensive
marketing cam-paign to offset a late start or per-haps help with a
boat.
Whiting said that ... service for next year, thats out goal,
thats still our goal.
Service for the 2011 summer season has been dismissed as
eco-nomically unfeasible by at least one other group considering a
New England-Canada ferry based from Halifax. Portland offi cials,
includ-ing the city manager, have said such service seems
unlikely.
Whiting also confi rmed that his organizations process has been
slowed by provincial offi cials seek-ing more information. They
dont want to write a blank check, he explained.Were trying to
verify some numbers in the proposals.
I thought we could have wrapped this up, said Whiting. At this
point, we dont have enough [infor-mation] to satisfy the
province.
He said offi cials are concerned, in part, because of the
extensive costs of the Cat, which was approved for up to $12
million in annual pay-ments although it actually required about $8
million. Multi-million dollar subsidies are common for the Canadian
ferry systems.
As for the two companies still in the running to operate the
service, details of their plans are being kept private. While
Port-land is still considered a favorite for the New England ferry
port, Whiting also confi rmed that both Boston and Bar Harbor are
in the running.
Whether it comes next summer or not, the restored ferry service
is unlikely to replicate the high-speed crossing that brought the
Cat international fame, but decreased on-board revenue and
reportedly caused more sea sickness.
Instead, it will be replaced by more of a cruise service with
the capacity to carry trucks. The vehicle capacity is important
because the ferry brings Nova Scotia trucked products, especially
seafood, closer to American markets.

When the L.L. Bean Outlet adja-cent to the sporting goods store
closed in September, a representative with Olympia Sports confi
rmed that the business has an opt-out clause in its lease that
allows them to leave the space upon L.L. Beans departure.
The recent closing of the outlet store on Congress Street, while
not identi-fi ed as the primary reason for the decision to close,
was a factor, accord-ing to the press release.
Both the Olympia Sports space and the former L.L. Bean Outlet
property are owned by Craig Foster, with leas-ing handled by
commercial real estate fi rm CB Richard Ellis/The Boulos
Company.
At the time of the L.L. Bean clos-ing, Carla Manganello with
Olym-pia Sports said that the store would remain at 544 Congress
until after the holiday shopping season, and would reassess its
tenancy after Christmas.
Well see how we do with L.L. Beans being gone, its never been a
strong store for us but we do it because we like supporting the
downtown area, said Manganello in September.
With 25,000 square feet, the L.L. Bean/Olympia Sports space is
one of the downtown Arts Districts largest commercial spaces, and
has been eyed by some for a potential role in the arts and culture
community.
The property also features an updated HVAC system, and entrances
off both Congress and Free streets, according to CBRE broker Drew
Sigfridson.
Weve reached out to some of the people that runs art galleries
and are
involved in the art community, but we have not have any interest
from them, said Sigfridson in September.
With 25,000 feet of space, you need someone who has the skills
and net-work to manage that, said City Coun-cilor David Marshall.
You will not be able to fi nd one arts-related group able to fi ll
that footprint. It would have to be collaboration of entities and
some-one with managerial ability to make that happen, he said.
Worse case scenario, the space remains vacant for period of
time, and if were unable to fi nd a tenant or unable to create a
collaboration, then art or an installation in the space can provide
sense that there is some activity, said Marshall, who runs a local
artists co-op in the district at the Constellation Gallery. It
would be far better than having vacant box of 25,000 square
feet.
Olympia Sports has 28 locations across the state and 150 stores
throughout New England, New York and Pennsylvania.
The announcement comes after Olympia Sports opened a new
location in Old Town on Wednesday. Locations near Portland include
the Maine Mall, Northgate, Falmouth, Scarborough and Westbrook.
There will be no full-time layoffs associated with the closing
of the store and transfers will be offered to interested employees,
according to the release. The company said the sport-ing goods
chain has never laid off a full time employee.
A liquidation sale will be running at the store until its
closing at the end of December.

Missiles fi red from the Chinese mainland could destroy fi ve of
the six major U.S. air bases in the Far East. So states a new
report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission,
adding:
Saturation missile strikes could destroy U.S. air defenses,
runways, parked aircraft, and fuel and maintenance facilities.
Complicating this scenario is the future deployment of Chinas
anti-ship ballistic missile, which could hold U.S. aircraft
carriers at bay outside their normal oper-ating range.
Opposite Taiwan, Chinas mis-sile force has reached 1,600.
Beijing is also building rockets, submarines and surface fl eets
to extend her dominance out to the third chain of islands, enabling
the Peoples Liberation Army to strike U.S. carriers and bases as
far away as Guam.
Since the demise of the blue-water navy of Russian Adm. Sergei
Gorshkov, the Pacifi c has been an American lake. No more.
China lays claim to all the Paracel and Spratly islands of the
South China Sea, all the Sen-kakus in the East China Sea, and all
the oil and gas beneath and around those islets and reefs.
Americas offer to mediate these claims, which involve half a
dozen other anxious Asian nations, has been rudely rebuffed
Who fed the tiger?
by Beijing.At the G20 gathering in Seoul,
South Korea, Barack Obama got an earful from China about the Fed
sinking the dollar and learned that Beijing would not be revaluing
its currency to help with our chronic trade defi cits.
As China holds a huge share of U.S. debt, Obama is not about to
get sassy with our banker, who might just cut off the credit
America, running a budget defi -cit of 10 percent of gross domestic
product, desperately needs.
Napoleon said of the Middle Kingdom, Let (China) sleep, for when
she wakes, she will shake the world. The shaking has begun.
So the question arises: Who put us in this predicament? Who
awakened, fed and nurtured this tiger to where she is growling at
all Asia and baring her teeth at the United States? Answer: the
free trade uber alles Republicans.
Richard Nixon opened China. His 1972 Shanghai communi-que
pointed inexorably to what Jimmy Carter did in 1979: break
relations and abrogate our secu-rity pact with Taiwan, and
rec-ognize the Peoples Republic as the sole legitimate government
of China.
In 1982, the Ronald Reagan White House signed on to a
com-munique with Deng Xiaopings China by which we agreed to reduce
and eventually end all arms sales to Taiwan as tensions in the
strait diminished.
Under George H.W. Bush, Bei-jings crushing of the Tiananmen
Square protest with tanks was not allowed to interfere with
busi-ness.
Repeatedly, Republicans voted to extend most-favored-nation
status to China. Dissenters were castigated as isolationists and
protectionists.
Under Bush II, the GOP made MFN permanent and sponsored Beijings
entry into the World Trade Organization, despite Chi-nas downing of
a U.S. surveil-lance plane and incarceration of its American crew
on Hainan

Wrigley Field: Its one of the most iconic stadi-ums in America,
with a distinctive urban location, nearly a century of history and
an old-fashioned ambience. Its the best thing about the Chicago

maybe its time to admit that Wrigley cant go on forever.

organizations request for tax-payers to invest up to $300
million in the park. The Rick-etts family spent $845 million to
acquire the Cubs from Tri-bune Co. last year, the high-est price
ever paid for a Major League Baseball franchise. But now the new
owners fi nd they cant afford the upkeep on their elderly home,
which runs about $10 million a year.
So they want the state, county and city to divert a share of
future entertainment taxes to help fund a major renovation. Never
mind that the state of Illinois is broke and the city of Chicago
has a record budget defi cit.
Chairman Tom Ricketts says the owners cant justify putting more

be there. Left unspoken is the pros-pect that it wont be there
that the Cubs will move to new quarters in the suburbs or raze the
old park and put up something suited to the needs of a 21st-century
team.
Not a bad idea. Wrigley is attrac-tive and charming in many
ways, but its like driving a vintage car: After a while, the
novelty is not enough to justify the antiquated design. The
ivy-covered walls and manu-ally operated scoreboard have to be
balanced against the cramped con-courses, primitive restrooms,
modest kitchen facilities and obstructed views.
To even think of replacing the nos-talgia-drenched ballpark is
heresy to diehard Cubs fans. But Yankee Stadium was even richer in
history and tradition winning tradition, by the way when the
Yankees abandoned it in 2008.
This year, the Dallas Cowboys managed to suppress sentiment long
enough to demolish Texas Stadium, probably the most recognizable
facil-ity in the National Football League and just 39 years
old.
Ricketts envisions playing in Wrig-ley for another 50 years. In
what universe does that make sense?
He argues this would be a no-lose deal for the public because
all the tax
revenue to be diverted to the Cubs is money that would not be
generated without their presence in Wrigley. Those are dollars that
wouldnt have been spent anywhere, he said in a meeting with the
Tribune edito-rial board.
Wrong. These things may affect where people spend, but not what
they spend, says University of Chi-cago economist Allen Sanderson.
People allocate a certain share of their budgets for entertainment.
Absent the Cubs, they will go to movies, concerts, museums, White
Sox games, Six Flags Great America or Navy Pier.
But its not as though the Cubs would be absent. Blessed with one
of the biggest markets in America, and fans who turn out win or
lose, they are not about to pick up and move to Nashville.
So they should be thinking of how to make the best of their
location. A new park would rid the Cubs of their maintenance
headaches, while pro-viding them better ways to relieve fans of
cash lots of luxury boxes, better dining, new shops and
diver-sions.
It would allow the team to hire better players and pamper them
in style. The architect could lovingly
re-create the treasured features of the existing stadium, while
omitting the shortcomings.
I am not immune to the appeal of Wrigley, though I was wearing a
Cardinals cap the last time I went. But I am immune to the appeal
of using tax dollars to enrich a private business. If you own a
building that is falling apart, you should either sell it, spend
the money to fi x it up or admit its not worth saving not ask your
neighbors to pick up the tab.
The Cubs can command ample resources. They have the
third-highest ticket prices in baseball, and they outdraw 23 other
clubs.
Sure, lots of other teams have gotten government help with their
parks, including the Bears and the Sox. But not only were they also
bad deals for the public, they were made in an era when our
governments had plenty of money to waste.
That day, you may have noticed, is over. Could be Wrigley Fields
time has passed as well.

Island. Colin Powell was forced to apologize.For decades,
corporate America championed
investing in China and trade with China, though the massive
transfer of U.S. factories, technologies and jobs was clearly
empowering China and weak-ening America.
Now, with U.S. political, military, industrial and strategic
decline vis a vis China manifest to the world, we hear the wails of
American businessmen that they are not being treated fairly by the
Chi-nese. And the politicians responsible for building up China are
now talking tough about confronting and containing China.
Sorry, but that cat cannot be walked back.Review commission
chair Dan Slane says his
members have concluded that China is adopting a highly
discriminatory policy of favoring domestic producers over foreign
manufacturers. Under the guise of fostering indigenous innovation
... the gov-ernment of China appears determined to exclude
foreigners from bidding on government contracts at the central,
provincial and local levels.
Imagine that! The Chinese are ignoring WTO rules and putting
China fi rst. Dont they understand how the Global Economy works?
Youre not supposed to tilt the fi eld in favor of the home
team.
One knows not whether to laugh or cry.The policy the Chinese are
pursuing, economic
nationalism, was virtually invented by the Repub-lican Party.
Protectionism was the declared policy of the GOP from the day its
fi rst president took offi ce in 1861 to the day Calvin Coolidge
left in 1929.
Free trade was the policy of a Great Britain whose clocks those
generations of Americans cleaned, even as the Chinese are cleaning
ours.
As for a U.S. policy of containment, we have no vital interest
in Chinas border dispute with India, or Beijings claims to islands
in the South and East
China seas, or in Chinas claims against Russia dating to the
ninth century.
Time for our Asians friends to take responsibility for defending
their own claims. As LBJ said in 1964, We are not about to send
Americans boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what
Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves. This time,
lets mean it.The day of the globalist has come and gone.

Snowmaking begins at Sugarloaf CARRABASSETT VALLEY (AP)
Snowmaking
has begun at Maines tallest ski mountain as it pre-pares to open
for the season.
After nearly two weeks of above-normal tempera-tures, Sugarloaf
workers turned on the snowmaking guns Thursday as temperatures fell
into the 20s.
If the temperatures remain favorable as expected, Sugarloaf offi
cials say they expect to open for the season on Sunday.

It is time for pro basketball in Portland.The NBA developmental
league Maine Red Claws
open their second season with a pair of games this weekend
against the Austin Toros at the Portland Expo. The season opener is
tonight at 7 p.m.
To say the Red Claws had a successful 2009-2010 season both on
and off the court would be an under-statement. They fi nished 27-23
and in 4th place in the Eastern Division. They missed out on the
play-offs, but still sold out every home game. The support was
noticed.
We didnt make the playoffs last season, but we are very
motivated, said Red Claws head coach Austin Ainge.
This season has basically a brand new roster. Only
one player, Mario West, returns from the 2009-2010 team. He will
be a key player though. Mario is a hard working kid, said Ainge. He
is a leader on the court and will be very valuable to us this
season.
The other nine players on the roster are inexperi-enced, but
Ainge expects big things from all of them. They are young and they
will make mistakes, but they will play hard. We have some good
players and they are very energetic.
It is hard to control who gets called up to the teams NBA affi
liates in Boston and Charlotte, but the Red Claws coach expects
this team to stay together this season at least for the most
part.
Since they are so young, I think the big clubs will leave them
alone, but anything can happen, said Ainge.
With the different roster, this season will bring a
different style of play. The Red Claws plan to have this group
of young and energetic players play some up-tempo basketball.
We will push the ball this season, claimed Ainge. We will score
lots of points and run up and down the court. We will play offense,
but plenty of defense too. We have some athletic defenders and our
defense will create offense.
The Red Claws won their lone preseason game Monday in Augusta
102-88 over the Springfi eld Armor. Five players scored in double
digits. They hope to continue that kind of result into the regu-lar
season. If thats the case, there will be plenty of exciting nights
at the Portland Expo.
One thing us this season, claimed Ainge, we will be entertaining
and the fans will fall in love with this team.
Red Claws open home hoop season tonight
NEW YORK (AP) For once, Felix Hernandez got all the support he
needed for a big win.
The Seattle ace earned the AL Cy Young Award on Thursday despite
a modest 13-12 record. His major league-leading 2.27 ERA and
superior stats put him far ahead of Tampa Bays David Price and the
Yankees CC Sabathia and their impres-sive win-loss numbers.
Victimized by the Mariners poor hitting all season, Hernan-dez
found ample backing with the voters in this pitchers duel. They
clearly recognized how little the last-place Mariners helped him in
10 starts, they were either shut out or held to one run.
This confi rms the Cy Young is an award not only for the pitcher
with the most wins, but the most dominant, a teary-eyed Hernandez
said while celebrating with rela-tives at the family home in
Valencia, Venezuela.King Felix got 21 of the 28
fi rst-place votes and 167 points in balloting by the Baseball
Writers Association of America. The 24-year-old right-hander led
the league in innings (249 2-3), was second in strikeouts
(232) and held AL opponents to the lowest batting average
(.212).
Price, who went 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA, was second with four fi
rst-place votes and 111 points. Sabathia, who was 21-7 with a 3.18
ERA, drew the other three fi rst-place votes and fi nished third at
102.
I feel like they got it right, Price said on a conference call
from Nashville, Tenn. Felix, I thought he deserved it, even though
he didnt have a lot of wins. You cant really control all that. You
cant control the offense, and the hitters and stuff like that.
The numbers he put up those were pretty ridiculous numbers
outside of the won-loss column, he said. I feel as if Felix was on
a different team if he was on the Yankees or something like that
hes going to win quite a few ball-games.
King Felix! Seattle ace Hernandez wins AL Cy Young
This May 18 le photo shows Seattle Mariners Felix Hernandez in
action against the Oakland Athletics during the rst inning of a
baseball game, in Oak-land, Calif. Hernandez has been chosen the AL
Cy Young Award winner, Thurs-day by the Baseball Writers

Trustees approve $28m in upgrades to Civic Center
PORTLAND (AP) Maines Cumber-land County Civic Center is poised
to undergo $28 million in renovations if voters back the renovation
plan approved by the centers trustees.
The renovations would include new premium seating in the
35-year-old arena, an improved box offi ce and upgraded conces-sion
areas. The plan was recommended last month by a task force that has
been studying the needs of the 35-year-old down-town Portland
arena.
The cost could be offset by private fund-raising and the sale of
naming rights.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
compassion reaches sublime heights. Not only will you knock
yourself out to help others, but youll forgive yourself for
whatever might have gone wrong in your past. TAURUS (April 20-May
20). The way to happiness is not through unhap-piness. You will not
go through depress-ing and negative thoughts to wind up in a good
place. Rather, its the small happy thoughts and feelings that lead
to even greater joy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Go through your
nances and gure out what you have and what you need. The plans and
projections you make will be lucky, especially when you resolve to
balance your own needs before you reach out to help others. CANCER
(June 22-July 22). Your main concern is keeping up group morale. To
that end, not everything needs to be brought up the moment you
think of it. Make note of the points on which you disagree so that
you can bring them up at an auspicious time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Get the con-sent of everyone on your team before you move forward.
They may not agree with the plan, but if they believe in you, that
will count more than anything else. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
cant solve the problem from the same frame of mind that created it
in the rst place. Con ict happens at one level of the mind, and its
resolution happens at an entirely different level. LIBRA (Sept.
23-Oct. 23). You feel lucky. You go about your life half-expecting
money to fall on you from the sky. Because of this optimism and the
con dence it instills in you, the fortunes will favor you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Eve-ning brings electric and
progressive ideas. Youll be a hit socially, if youre in the mood.
But if youre not, youll still enjoy your own company as you do some
of your favorite things tonight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One
of Aesops fables declares that slow and steady wins the race. The
reality: Slow and steady will indeed get you across the nish line.
But if you want to get there before the others, a few bursts of
speed will also be neces-sary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fame
and power come with sacri ce. But so do anonymity and helplessness.
Realizing that everything in life involves some kind of trade off,
you decide to go for what you really want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You realize when someone is not on your wavelength, but that
doesnt stop you from trying to communicate. This shows heart, but
thats not why you do it. You really want to make a connection.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The things that always worked well
before may not be effective today. The rules have changed, and you
dont even know what the new rule is. This gives you the chance to
experiment. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19). Its your year to shake it
up, break your rou-tine and expand your network. Decem-ber is
touched with glamour. January brings many occasions to laugh with
people youre comfortable around and also connect with people who
chal-lenge you. March opens a new source of income. Love signs are
Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 15, 3, 19 and
50.

ANNIES MAILBOX Dear Annie: My son and daughter-in-law have a
14-year-old son and a well-endowed 12-year-old daughter, and the
two of them behave like lovers. They will sit crammed togeth-er in
the same chair with their arms wrapped around each other, holding
hands with their legs entwined. If he goes out-side, she follows.
Their bodies are constantly touching each other. The even do this
at family gatherings, and their parents seem oblivious. My
granddaughter is usually the one who instigates this behavior, but
my grandson goes along with it. My husband and I nd it offensive,
as does everyone else in the family. We are dreading the upcoming
holidays. My son and his wife both work and are not in the house
when these children come home from school, which makes me wonder
what goes on when the kids are alone together for hours. My husband
doesnt want to say anything to our son because he fears it will
cause a rift. Our daughter-in-law has never liked us and keeps her
distance as much as possible. What is your opinion? -- Grandparents
of Kissing Siblings Dear Grandparents: Parents need to supervise
budding ad-olescents because their hormones and developing bodies
can get them into trouble -- even with a sibling. Someone should
speak to your son. If you are unwilling to do so, perhaps you could
enlist a relative, friend or even one of the childrens school
counselors to suggest he pay more attention to his kids. Dear
Annie: When my wife and I were engaged, she bought a house in her
name. We married ve years ago, and she still has not put my name on
our home even though all of my pay-roll checks are deposited into
our joint account from which the mortgage is paid. I am not after
her money or the house, but I wonder what
I can do to feel comfortable with this situation. We have three
wonderful children, and we own two cars in both of our names, but
not the mortgage. She makes more money than I do. Is this why? --
Confused Dear Confused: Have you asked your wife directly about
this? Even if your income were not helping to pay for the mortgage,
you are a married couple with children and these things should be
in both of your names. Some women, out of self-protection, are
reluctant to cede sole ownership of their possessions. However,
were the situation reversed, she surely would expect you to add her
name to the house. Unless your credit history makes you a risk, we
suggest you discuss this with her and ask that she explain her
reasoning. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to Tom, who met the
girl of his dreams at a restaurant and is having dif culty handling
rejection from her. He seems to be the victim of un-requited love,
something I have experienced more than once. My heart goes out to
him. Rejection is never easy, especially as we get older and see
opportunities to nd the right person slipping away. Unfortu-nately,
for men, it seems that the person of our dreams is the college
cutie who ignored us back in the day. Or maybe we were too busy
pursuing an education and missed the chance to date during that
time. As a 43-year-old male, I am adjusting my expectations and
desires. There are many wonderful women closer to my age who would
make terri c lifelong companions. I hope Tom gets over his desire
for this much younger woman and searches for a more mature, yet
equally desirable woman to share his life with. -- Trey Dear Trey:
We hope so, too.
