Oak Street Lofts developer says city’s artists lining up for a chance at an apartment

On Oak St., Avesta markets to the arts

BY DAVID CARKHUFFTHE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The artist’s community in Portland stood up and took notice when a private, nonprofi t housing organization decided to try a differ-ent marketing approach.

Oak Street Lofts affordable housing at 72 Oak St., directly off Congress Street, fulfi lls a vision of building apartments that are suited to urban artists, according to devel-opers.

“We’re clearly tapping into a huge demand for this kind of project in Portland,” said Greg Payne, development offi cer for Avesta Housing,

David Massaro, superintendent on the site with Wright-Ryan Construction, said the units are on track to be done in Decem-ber.

“Right now, we’re just about starting all the interior,” he said.

Sheetrock, electrical work, windows and other interior work will conclude the proj-ect.

The apartments are being built on what was a parking lot along Congress Street.

“Construction is going very well,” said Avesta’s Payne. “We have right now a fairly

The three-day Columbus Day holiday weekend was a record setter in Portland.

Monday's high tempera-ture of 81 degrees tied the 1949 record for that date. Monday's reading from the Jetport came after Port-land broke a 68-year-old

high temperature record on Sunday and tied a 64-year-old record Saturday, said Mike Kistner, a meteo-rologist with the National Weather Service in Gray.

Temperatures climbed to 85 degrees on Sunday, set-ting a record for Oct. 10, the weather service reported.

Prize

SAYWHAT...The glow of one warm thought is

to me worth more than money.”

—Thomas Jefferson

(NY Times) — The Nobel in economic sci-ence was awarded Monday to Thomas J. Sargent at New York Uni-versity and Christopher A. Sims at Princeton Uni-versity for their research on the cause and effect of government policies on the broader economy, a major concern of coun-tries still struggling to address the aftermath of the recent financial crisis.

Back in the 1970s, Dr. Sargent and Dr. Sims were interested in figur-ing out how a new policy, like a tax cut or an inter-est rate hike, might affect the economy. But economists cannot run controlled experiments in real life to see what happens when a policy is executed and compare the results to when it is not. Instead, they have to study whatever history is available to them, with all the complicated con-ditions that happened to coincide with the policy change.

Dr. Sargent and Dr. Sims developed statis-tical methods to orga-nize historical data and disentangle these many variables.

Their new methodolo-gies are used to figure out whether a policy change that happened in the past affected the economy or whether it was made in anticipa-tion of events that poli-cymakers thought would happen later. The meth-ods also help decipher how regular people’s expectations for govern-ment policies can affect their behavior.

“For both Sims and Sargent, their research is fundamental,” said Mark Watson, an economics professor at Princeton. “They figured out what it is you need to know to answer this cause and effect question, and then they developed methods for actually measuring the effects of causes.”

Dr. Sims said that his research was relevant for helping countries decide how to respond to the economic stagnation and decimated budgets left by the financial crisis.

“The methods that I’ve used and that Tom has developed are central for finding our way out of this mess,” he said. But asked for specific policy conclusions of his research, he responded, “If I had a simple answer, I would have been spreading it around the world.”

Recession offi cially over, U.S. incomes kept fallingWASHINGTON (NY TIMES) — In a

grim sign of the enduring nature of the eco-nomic slump, household income declined more in the two years after the recession ended than it did during the recession itself, new research has found.

Between June 2009, when the recession offi cially ended, and June 2011, infl ation-adjusted median household income fell 6.7 percent, to $49,909, according to a study by two former Census Bureau offi cials. During the recession — from December 2007 to June 2009 — household income fell 3.2 percent.

The fi nding helps explain why Ameri-cans’ attitudes toward the economy, the country’s direction and its political leaders have continued to sour even as the econ-omy has been growing. Unhappiness and anger have come to dominate the politi-cal scene, including the early stages of the 2012 presidential campaign.

President Obama recently called the economic situation “an emergency,” and over the weekend he assailed Congressio-nal Republicans for opposing his jobs bill, which includes tax cuts that would raise take-home pay.

Republicans blame Mr. Obama for the slump, saying he has issued a blizzard of regulations and promised future tax increases that have hurt business and con-sumer confi dence.

Those arguments may be heard repeat-edly this week, as the Senate begins debat-ing the jobs bill. The full bill — a mix of tax cuts, public works, unemployment benefi ts and other items, costing $447 billion — is unlikely to pass, but individual parts seem to have a signifi cant chance.

The full 9.8 percent drop in income from the start of the recession to this June — the most recent month in the study — appears to be the largest in several decades, accord-ing to other Census Bureau data. Gordon W. Green Jr., who wrote the report with John F. Coder, called the decline “a signifi -cant reduction in the American standard of living.”

That reduction occurred even though the unemployment rate fell slightly, to 9.2 percent in June compared with 9.5 percent two years earlier.

Two main forces appear to have held down pay: the number of people outside the labor force — neither working nor looking for work — has risen; and the hourly pay of employed people has failed to keep pace with infl ation, as the prices of oil products and many foods have jumped.

During the recession itself, by contrast, wage gains outpaced infl ation.

One reason pay has stagnated is that many people who lost their jobs in the recession — and remained out of work for months — have taken pay cuts in order to

be hired again. In a separate study, Henry S. Farber, an economics professor at Princ-eton, found that people who lost jobs in the recession and later found work again made an average of 17.5 percent less than they had in their old jobs.

“As a labor economist, I do not think the recession has ended,” Mr. Farber said. “Job losers are having more trouble than ever before fi nding full-time jobs.”

Mr. Farber added that this downturn was “fundamentally different” from most previous ones. Historically, other econo-mists say, fi nancial crises and debt-caused bubbles have led to deeper, more protracted downturns.

Mr. Green and Mr. Coder said the per-sistently high rate of unemployment and the long duration of unemployment helped explain the decline in income during the recovery.

In the recession, the average length of time a person who lost a job was unem-ployed increased to 24.1 weeks in June 2009, from 16.6 weeks in December 2007, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Since the end of the recession, that fi gure has continued to increase, reaching 40.5 weeks in September, the lon-gest in more than 60 years.

The economists said the recession ended in June 2009. In every quarter since then, the economy has grown.

Netfl ix abandons Qwikster

(NY TIMES) — Aban-doning a break-up plan it announced last month, Netfl ix said Monday morning that it had decided to keep its DVD-by-mail and online streaming ser-vices together under one name and one Web site.

The company admit-ted that it had moved too fast when it tried to spin-off the old-fash-ioned DVD service into a new company called Qwikster.

“We underestimated the appeal of the single Web site and a single service,” Steve Swasey, a Netfl ix spokesman, said in a telephone interview. He quickly added: “We greatly underestimated it.”

U.N. fi nds ‘systematic’ torture in AfghanistanKABUL, Afghanistan (NY TIMES) — Suspects

are hung by their hands, beaten with cables and in some cases their genitals are twisted until they lose consciousness in detention facilities run by the Afghan intelligence service and the Afghan national police, according to a study released Monday by the United Nations here.

The report provides a devastating picture of the abuses committed by arms of the Afghanistan gov-ernment as the American-led foreign forces here are moving to wind down their presence after a decade of war. The abuses were uncovered even as Ameri-can and other Western trainers and mentors had been working closely with the ministries overseeing the detention facilities and funded their operations.

Acting on an early draft of the report seen last month, NATO stopped handing over detainees to the Afghans in several areas of the country.

The report found evidence of “a compelling pattern and practice of systematic torture and ill-treatment” during interrogation in the accounts of nearly half of the detainees of the intelligence service, known as the National Directorate of Intelligence, who were interviewed by United Nations researchers.

The national police treatment of detainees was somewhat less severe and widespread, the report found. Its research covered 47 facilities sites in 22 provinces. “Use of interrogation methods, including suspension, beatings, electric shock, stress positions and threatened sexual assault is unacceptable by any standard of international human rights law,”

the report said.It was unclear from the report whether any infor-

mation extracted under torture was used by either the Afghan government or its foreign military allies. One detainee described being brought in for interro-gation in Kandahar and having the interrogator ask if he knew the name of the offi ce and then, after the man answered, “You should confess what you have done in the past as Taliban — even stones confess here.”

The man was beaten over several days for hours at a time with electric wire and then signed a confes-sion, the report said.

The report pointed out that even though the abu-sive practices are entrenched, the Afghan govern-ment does not condone torture and has explicitly said the abuses found by the United Nations are not government policy.

“Reform is both possible and desired,” said Staffan de Mistura, the United Nations special representa-tive for Afghanistan, noting that the government had cooperated with the report’s researchers and has begun to take remedial action.

“We take this report very seriously,” said Shaida Abdali, the deputy director of Afghanistan’s National Security Council.

“Our government, especially the president, has taken a very strong stand on the protection of every-one’s human rights, their humanity, everywhere and especially in prisons and in detention,” he said, adding that he had not yet read the full document.

unprecedented situation where we have over 100 people on an interest list for it — three months before we’re actually going to be leasing the build-ing out.”

Avesta maintains a portfolio of over 1,600 housing units and administers Section 8 housing vouchers for an additional 1,300 families. Oak Street Lofts is something different, however. While legally Avesta cannot limit the effi ciency apartments to artists, a community outreach confi rmed that artists would be a good community to target with marketing.

“Excitement in the artist’s commu-nity is part of the reason the list is as long as it is right now,” Payne said.

“When we fi rst came up with this idea and fi rst considered this par-ticular site for this project, we didn’t have artists in mind. We had our initial meeting with the neighbors, and the neighbors pointed out art-ists who couldn’t afford to live in the area,” Payne recalled. “They said to us, ‘Would you try to make this project more attractive to the artists commu-nity?’”

Avesta responded, “’We absolutely hear what you’re saying to us,’” and according to Payne, an effort was made to reach the same city residents whose galleries and studios become a hotbed of activity during the monthly

First Friday Art Walk.“We’ve had people set up booths at

First Friday Art Walk,” Payne said.“We’ve tried to specifi cally reach out

to groups through MECA (Maine Col-lege of Art) to make sure that artists know about this housing, when we say we’re targeting artists what we mean is we’re targeting our marketing out-reach to the artist’s community.”

Avesta’s “fi rst outreach” has been to the artist’s community, and the design of Oak Street Lofts confi rms this interest.

The design was focused on creat-

ing “spaces in the building that are attractive,” with practical items such as larger sinks, community rooms, one of which could function as a work room, and wiring in hallways that would allow art hangings. Even aes-thetic enhancements such as adorn-ments to metal grating kept artists in mind, and the fi rst fl oor is suited to an art show — perhaps even a First Friday Art Walk display, Payne said.

The 37 effi ciency units were built at a cost of about $170,000 per unit to build, for an entire project cost of $6.4 million, Payne said.

The complex is expected to become the fi rst multifamily affordable hous-ing project in the state to be certifi ed LEED Platinum by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Rent will range from $506 to $760 a month, according to Avesta.

Avesta built Oak Street Lofts with several goals in mind, including job creation, energy effi ciency and help-ing to meet the demand for afford-able homes, Payne said. On Jan. 1, he hoped to bring people into the build-ing and start renting out units.

“When the fi rst 37 people actually rent up, we’re going to pay very close attention to how this marketing pro-cess worked, and did we manage to reach out to the artist’s community?” Payne said.

One news story, and another observation about Portland dominate the column scene this week.

In a weekend story in the PPH, there was some background stuff on the search for the new police chief, and another layer of middle management being added to the process.

There is already a search committee for applicants for the

position, hoping to narrow the search down to fi ve or six quali-fi ed prospects. Now comes news

that all of them will be befuddled with a round of “testing” to judge them on their qualifi cations for the job, as well as their reactions to “real world situations.”

For those unfamiliar with gov-ernment-speak, that means can-didates will be evaluated based on their ability to shield higher ups from any wrongdoing, or at

As Occupy Wall Street activists clogged New York’s Zuccotti Park protesting “corporate greed” and Occupy SF hit San Francisco’s Financial Dis-trict on Wednesday protesting “corporate greed,” the world learned that Steve Jobs, perhaps America’s most beloved modern capitalist, had died at age 56.

The protesters claim to represent the working people, the 99 percent of Americans who, according

to their blog, are getting kicked out of their homes, must choose between groceries and rent and “are working long hours for little pay and no rights,” if they’re working at all. They “are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything.”

“We are the 99 percent,” they proclaim.

Jobs was probably about 0.000000000001 percent.

Yet Jobs and the 99 percent-ers have much in common. These activists represent the iGeneration. They grew up with iPods and laptops. They’re tweeting from smart-phones. They’ve grown up with pricey new gadgets and monthly plans that keep them plugged into Wi-Fi and 4G.

They carry signs and post their stories on the Web about the fi ve-fi gure debt that they’ve incurred — some for tuition that hasn’t landed them a good job, others in credit card debt — and they’re angry that Washington bailed out Wall Street but hasn’t done much for them.

Like members of the tea party, they’re angry with Washington. But they’re also scared, not the way tea partyers fear losing their hard-earned assets, but in the way young people are fearful in a bleak economy. “Is ‘Following Your Dreams’ supposed to be this Ter-rifying?” one young woman’s sign reads. “$60,000-plus in debt from my student loans and 11 percent interest rate.”

At a news conference Thursday, President Barack Obama said the OWS protests express “the frustra-tions that the American people feel.”

Tea Party Express strategist Sal Russo sees the “occupiers” as yet another effort, bolstered by orga-nized labor and MoveOn.org, to establish a tea party on the left — with the help of a complicit news media that often painted his co-believers with unfl attering stereotypes.

“They would say that (the) tea party is people who wear Colonial hats, have signs and are a bunch of nuts,” Russo observed.

Obama played that game two years ago when he quoted a letter he had received from a woman who told him, “I don’t want government-run health care. I don’t want socialized medicine. And don’t touch my Medicare.”

The Occupy Wall Street movement has its stand-outs, too. Its website features an unoffi cial list of demands, which include not only a universal single-payer health care system and free college education but also open borders, “immediate across-the-board debt forgiveness for all” and outlawing all credit reporting agencies. Former Weather Underground radical Bill Ayers issued a “collective statement” that “a democratic government derives its just

power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power.” So don’t tell me that the right has a monopoly on crazy talk.

Or that the Dems, unlike the GOP, don’t have a problem with their base.

Besides, though the manifestos provide plenty of fodder for scoffi ng, they distract from the protest’s sad personal stories. The “We Are The 99 Percent” shows a gallery of anguish felt by people who are struggling — even losing the struggle — to stay above water.

Now, I think these folks are wrong to believe that more government from Washington is the answer to their problems. They say they want to restore the American dream, but their remedy looks too much like the Greek nightmare.

As Russo noted, “their big claim is that they think we need to have a bigger, more intrusive government in our lives.” After four years of George W. Bush and Obama’s increasing federal spending exponentially while the economy fl oundered, it should be clear that model has failed. Mainstream America will not follow the occupier playbook.

Voters may sympathize with these unemployed kids — but they’re not going to toss them the keys to the car.

As Jobs advised students in his famous 2005 com-mencement speech at Stanford University, you may be scared and you will make mistakes, but “don’t be trapped by dogma.”

Occupy everything“Recession Offi cially Over,”

The New York Times’ lead headline declared around 7 o’clock Monday morning. (Watch: they’ll change it.) That was Part A. Part B said, “US Incomes Kept Falling.” I sup-pose if you include the cost of things like the number of auto accident victims transported by EMT squads as part of your Gross Domestic Product such contradictions to reality are possible. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, where are you when we really need you?

I dropped in on the Occupy Wall Street crowd down in Zuc-cotti Park last Thursday. It was like 1968 all over again, except there was no weed wafting on the breeze (another WTF?). The Boomer-owned-and-operated media was complaining about them all week. They were “coddled trust-funders” (an odd accusation made by people whose college enrollment status got them a draft deferment, back when col-lege cost $500 a year). Then there was the persistent nagging over the “lack of an agenda,” as if the US Department of Energy, or the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs was doing a whole lot better.

This is the funniest part to me: that leaders of a nation incapable of constructing a coherent consen-sus about reality can accuse its youth of not having a clear program. If the OWS movement stands for anything, it’s a dire protest against the country’s leaders’ lack of a clear program.

For instance, what is Attorney General Eric Hold-er’s program for prosecuting CDO swindles, the MERS racket, the bonus creamings of too-big-to-fail bank executives, the siphoning of money from the Federal Reserve to foreign banks, the misconduct at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the willful negligence of the SEC, and countless other villainies? What is Barack Obama’s program for restoring the rule of law in American fi nancial affairs? (Generally, the rule of law requires the enforcement of laws, no?)

Language is failing us, of course. When speaking of “recession,” one is forced into using the twisted, tweaked, gamed categories of economists whose mission is to make their elected bosses look good in spite of anything reality says. I prefer the term contraction, because a.) that is what is really going on, and b.) the economists haven’t got their menda-cious mitts around it yet. Contraction means there is not going to be more, only less, and it implies that a reality-based society would make some attempt to acknowledge and manage having less — possibly by doing more.

Instead, our leaders only propose accounting tricks to pretend there is more when really there is less. The banking frauds of the past twenty years were a conspiracy between government and banks to provide the illusion that an economy based on happy motoring, suburban land development, con-tinual war, and entertainment-on-demand could go on indefi nitely. The public went along with it follow-ing the path of least resistance, allowing themselves to be called “consumers.” They also went along with the nonsense out of the Supreme Court that declared corporations to be “persons” with “a right to free speech” where political campaign contribu-tions were concerned — thereby assuring the whole-sale purchase of the US government by Wall Street banks.

Praise has been coming in from all quarters for the peacefulness of the OWSers. Don’t expect that to last. In the natural course of things, revolution-ary actions meet resistance, generate friction, and then heat. Anyway, history is playing one of its little tricks by simultaneously ramping up the OWS move-ment in the same moment that the banking system

is actually imploding, with the fabric showing the most stress right now in Europe. I shudder to imag-ine what happens when OWS moves into the streets of France, Germany, Holland, Italy, and Spain.

All of the action right now has the weird aura of being an overture to the year 2012, fast approaching as we slouch into the potentially demoralizing holi-days of the current year. I don’t subscribe to Mayan apocalypse notions, but there’s something creepy about the wendings and tendings of our affairs these days. OWS is nature’s way of telling us to get our crap together, or else. This means a whole lot more than bogus “jobs” bills and Federal Reserve interest rate legerdemain. It means coming to grips with the limits of complexity and purging the system of the idea that anything is too big to fail. What happens when Occupy Wall Street becomes Occupy Every-thing, Everywhere?

ing a lonely and losing battle in defense of the proper defi nition of the noun “factoid.” This has not been a “partisan” battle. The looney leftist author Norman Mailer coined the word and I’ve made it my job to defend his work. Contrary to the prevail-ing usage, a factoid is not an obscure and irrelevant fragment of trivia. That is called a piece of trivia. A factoid, properly understood, is a statement that looks like a fact and sounds like a fact. It is pre-sented as a fact and believed as a fact, although it has no support in reality.

People who watch science fi ction moves know that a “humanoid” is a kind of robot looks, walks, and talks like a human being. People who are inter-ested in astronomy know that an “asteroid” looks like a star (LAT. “Aster”) from a distance, but is far too small to qualify. Professors who spend time in the classroom come to recognize “studentoids” who show up in the classroom from time to time and pay tuition but show no interest whatsoever in learning or working. In short they are not recognizable as students. Students study. Studentoids don’t study. Some are barely animate.

An example of a factoid of current interest is the Democrats’ assertion that the Republicans are engaged in nation-wide plots to “dis-enfranchise” voters. That is they are supposedly passing laws to deprive voters of their franchise. If you pay atten-tion to letters to the editor in newspapers around the state you will see this charge leveled against the Maine GOP repeatedly.

The disenfranchisement fac-toid works for the liberal groups supporting same day registra-tion because most voters are not very excited by the issue. Poll-sters have known for years that the average voter’s opinion tends to be solid and well-ground only on issues that they care about

because the issues directly affect them. Hit a dis-interested voter with a factoid over and over and he will tend to believe it simply because he isn’t inter-ested enough to fi nd out more about it. Advertisers and political propagandists of all stripes and all ages agree that repetition strengthens their messages.

So if you pay attention you will hear more and more about the Republican disenfranchisement schemes nationwide and in the State of Maine. Set ths accusation of Republican plots against these facts. It’s true that LD 1376 was passed with Repub-lican votes. It is also true that LD 1376 requires registration no later than the last Thursday before Tuesday election day.

If that is Republican disenfranchisement then how to explain the fact that Democrat-dominated Vermont requires a Wednesday registration? In fact every Democrat-dominated state in America denies voters Election-Day Registration. Washington and Rhode Island require registration 30 days before election day. Illinois demand a 28-day lead time, New York demands a 25-day lead time, Maryland and New Jersey 21, Massachusetts 20, California 15, Connecticut 14. The few states allowing Election Day Registration include Wyoming, New Hamp-shire, Idaho, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Minnesota,

and Iowa—no pattern of Democratic dominance in those states.

These facts are easily verifi ed — or refuted. If the debate continues along the usual lines they will not be refuted. They will be ignored and disenfranchise-ment charges will be repeated all the way until elec-tion day. In the real world this charge would infl ict collateral damage on the Democrats in Washington, Rhode Island, Illinois, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California and Connecticut. But the political world has different rules. There will be no collateral damage.

The charge that the aged, the young and the handicapped suffer from being forced to register on Thursday (at the latest) is not a factoid so much as an argument unsupported by either facts or fac-toids. I was young once — or so I’m told — and can’t remember what day of the year I registered, although I’m pretty sure it was not election day. Now I’m a septuagenarian with an offi cial handi-capped decal, and I don’t see and cannot remember why being required to register before that particular day would have made any difference.

By this time I’ve read or heard that ending Elec-tion Day Registration would hinder voting by the young, the old and the handicapped. Right. Mes-sage received. Over and over. Now it is time for somebody — anybody — to explain why this is so.

‘Rounding up the usual suspects’ kind of has that ring to it

least the ability to punt on camera when asked a derisive question by members of the press.

In short, this is sort of like putting fur on feath-ers. There is a process in place that has worked, albeit adding the additional question of “Are you planning on staying a while, or is this just a whis-tle-stop.”

The Human Resource department had one level of bureaucratic protection in the appointments com-mittee, and now another is being added with an outside fi rm that seemingly will shield the appoint-ments committee from any outside criticism. For some strange reason, it just feels to me like spending $10,000 to $15,000 (city manager estimates) to build an outside ice hockey arena on the same site as the old pond where you used to play pond hockey.

Since the ultimate goal of any HR department I’ve ever run across is to be the ones to say “No,” the head scratcher of a question here is the need to duplicate the effort, or in this case triplicate it. The

guess is, “No” turns into “Hell, NO” and just sort of goes downhill from there with expletives.

No explanation for the outside vetting fi rm is given. One might assume that a prospective police chief was qualifi ed to do something simple, like use his fi rearm. The addition of this step makes the assumption that those applying can not only NOT hit a target, but would actually have diffi -culty hitting the fl oor with their hat.

But here was the other observation on commit-tees. I’ve noticed over the past three years the con-tinual appointment of some fairly regular names to ongoing and special committees. “Rounding up the usual suspects” kind of has that ring to it, but this is beginning to take on the whiff of the description of the publishers of MAD Magazine. (I’ll not state it, you’ll have to Google it. It’s funny.)

Have you or a relative ever been appointed to any of the committees? How about friends? How about folks you run into every day in your various and sundry business pursuits around town?

According to public records posted on the City website, the last time the appointments and non-union personnel committee met was last March 29th. If you click through that to see the meet-ing minutes to reveal what they were discussing, you’d be out of luck. The last time minutes were posted was October of 2008.

Perhaps they just got behind in meetings, or even updating the website. But this does all raise an interesting question. You could observe that little has changed over the years here in Portland, and you might be right about it. So long as the same old people are being swapped around the same old committees, very little is likely to change, either.

From the council point of view, it’s a lot easier to work with folks you know and have been swap-ping meeting-sweat with for years. You have a basic idea of what needs to be done, chuck in a few of the usual suspects to help you get there, and ramrod the whole thing through the public input process with little to-do.

But as one of those who wonders how the usual cast of characters became the usual suspects, might it not be time to freshen the pot a bit more? Could the city ever, say, set up a registry of those willing to serve, and just pick names from a hat? If the whole point of the exercise is citizen input, it does make you wonder why the same group of citizens seem to have so much time available.

As the old saying goes, “If you do what you always did, you can’t be surprised when you get what you always get.”

Pirates preview season, open up ice with weekend skating

As temperatures crested 80 degrees Sunday, dozens of people beat the heat by ice skating at Cumberland County Civic Center. The stadium was open for the public for ice skating on Saturday and Sunday in antici-pation of the Portland Pirates home opener Saturday at 7 p.m. against Manchester Monarchs.

“It’s a cool idea,” said Paula Grace while keeping her sons, Gabriel, 4, and Abram, 2, bal-anced on center ice. Dedicated Pirate fans, the family made the trip from Casco to “get out of the heat. The boys were excited. We love coming to games, but it’s their fi rst time on the ice.”

The Pirates began a new affi li-ation with the Phoenix Coyotes this season. New Pirates’ center Ethan Werek joined his new fans on the ice Sunday, along with left wing Spencer Bennett. They chatted with skaters who had benched themselves to experience the players’ viewpoint, while others took a break in the penalty box. But the players

were overshadowed when the real Pirate took to the ice. Mas-cots Salty Pete and his parrot Crackers delighted the younger fans, and gave brief lessons in ice dancing with others.

Off the ice, season ticket information was presented to arriving guests, free pizza was available, and the Civic Center displayed architectural ren-derings to inform voters of the proposed renovations they may approve in the county election next month. On Nov. 8, voters will decide whether to approve a $33 million renovation, to be funded with an existing, soon-to-expire jail bond and ticket surcharges.

Some came to the weekend skate without Pirates or politics in mind.

“We just wanted to skate,” said Dania Warner. She came from Falmouth with her hus-band and son, both named Seth,

to take advantage of the free ice time. “I got to the beach earlier today. Now, it’s great to get some skat-ing in before the season.”

The fat horns of upbeat jazz music greeted Port-landers as they turned down Spring Street between State and Park Streets at the Portland Fire Museum ninth annual open house Saturday.

Banners, tents, fi re trucks of all eras, and the State Street Traditional Jazz Band entertained museum-goers while providing inter-active, hands-on learning about the Great Portland Fire of 1866, and the heroic efforts of the fi re depart-ment through the years since.

Located at the former fi re quarters of Engine 4, the Portland Fire Museum began in 1891 when the Portland Veteran Firemen’s Association decided to continue a tra-dition of remembrance and sharing stories, which began at a fi refi ghter celebration in 1872. Over the last cen-tury, PVFA collected retired fi retrucks, equipment, and even horses over the years contributing to the museum’s tradition of sharing stories.

“I love being at events like this to support fi remen,” said former Augusta fi reman Jeff Burns there to share his most prized piece of memorabilia — Engine 3, a monstrous red 1971 Mack fi re truck he purchased from his department for $5,000. “I named it after my grandkids, ‘Jake & Jules.’ It paid for itself in two seconds after I saw the smiles on my grandkids’ faces

when I started it for them the fi rst time! I bring it to all these events. It’s great to see kids climb all over it and get to experience a real truck.”

Inside the granite fi rehouse, chil-dren were given plastic fi re hats and bags full of fi re prevention books, stickers, and games teaching fi re prevention. Cider, apples, and pas-tries were available as well for those who wanted to explore the horse-driven water wagon, view vintage fi lms featuring the museum when it was an active station, or just visit with the horses while soaking in the history.

“I hadn’t heard about the 1866 fi re before moving here,” said Matt Hub-

bard, a fi re science student at South-ern Maine Community College. “That fi re would be hard today. Imagine it back then. Katrina would be the fi rst thing I’d think to compare it to.” Appropriately, the Bourbon Street feel continued outside.

The Dixieland jazz was a tip of the hat to the era of New Orleans hotelier Ruggles Sylvester Morse, the Portland native whose Victoria Mansion sur-rvived the city’s great confl agration. The disaster destroyed two-thirds of

Portland’s downtown on Fouth of July when fi recrackers sparked off wood chips at the waterfront. The fl ames consumed most of the wooden struc-tures in Portland from the wharves of Fore Street all the way up Munjoy Hill. It remained the worst urban fi re until Chicago met Mrs. O’Leary’s cow fi ve years later.

The fi refi ghters that saved Portland in 1866 had stories to tell, and the PVFA continues to share them at the Portland Fire Museum.

Food Fix TriviaBarber Foods to lay off 71 associatesDavid Barber announced

Monday that changes at his com-pany’s St. John Street plant to streamline production and opti-mize new parent company Advan-cePierre Foods’ facilities in other parts of the country will result in the layoff of 71 associates. As part of the changes, Barber Foods’ St. John Street fully cooked produc-tion line will move production to another APF plant, he announced.

The vast majority of produc-tion at the plant is raw foods like Stuffed Chicken Breasts and chicken tenders, so more than 400 associates will remain employed with that production, Barber said. As Barber explained in a press release, the Fully Cooked produc-tion line needed some signifi cant

upgrades, especially with 30-year-old oven equipment.

“This is a great solution from a business perspective because we are able to transfer production of our Fully Cooked products to a very effi cient plant in Enid, Okla.,” said Barber. “Unfortunately, one of the tough consequences is let-ting go of associates whose contri-butions we greatly appreciate.”

Barber announced the decision to give associates at least 60 days' notice. When they leave Barber Foods, each affected associate will be given one week of severance for every year of service as well as outplacement and support ser-vices, he said.

In January, Barber Foods announced plans to eliminate more than 80 manufacturing jobs at its Portland plant. Barber

Foods, which was sold to an Ohio-based food company last year, said the layoffs resulted from upgrades to processing equipment at the St. John St. facility that were in development for almost a year.

“This has nothing to do with the acquisition by AdvancePierre,” Barber Foods’ president said at the time. “This has been in the works for about a year that we were working (on) these produc-tion gains.”

Barber added early this year, “We expected that these layoffs would have happened whether or not they purchased us.”

Barber Foods was bought by Cincinnati-based AdvancePierre Foods in a sale announced on June 1, 2010. Terms of the deal between the two privately-held companies have not been disclosed.

DAILY SUN STAFF REPORT

The new high temperature broke the old record of 79 degrees set in 1942 and 1943.

"We had a tie and then we broke a record," Kistner said, only to witness another tied record on Monday.

The 85-degree reading tied as the third warmest reading ever at the Jetport for the month of Octo-ber. It tied with Oct. 1 in 1950 and 1954, and Oct. 2, 1968. The month's warmest days on record at the Jetport came in at 88 degrees on Oct. 7, 1963, and 87 degrees on the same date in 1947, the weather service reported.

Despite what was good news for the long weekend, rain is expected to move into the area Wednesday night — as part of a colder air system which could

mean the end of warm temperatures."(Monday) will probably be the last day of the

real warm weather, however, we're still expecting some sunny conditions ... and it is trending like the beginning of the work week next week — Monday through Wednesday — looks pretty darn good," said Kistner, explaining that long-range models show the possibility for a high pressure system to move into the area.

"It's a long way out and a lot can change," he said. "But we are looking at high pressure possibly build-ing in starting next week — some more nice weather hopefully."

The October record-setting weekend also meant big things for Portland's business and tourism com-munity, according to local tourism offi cials.

"Together with the cruise ships and the beauti-ful late fall weather, it stimulated a lot of people to be out and about," said Barbara Whitten, president of the Greater Portland Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Whitten, who is preparing for the bureau's Har-vest on the Harbor culinary event slated for Oct. 20-22, explained that she's been surprised by the number of people still walking around the city in the evenings recently.

"This is still a very busy time of the year for tour-ism," she said, referring to the many tourists who visit Maine for its fall foliage.

"But I think the warm weather is certainly bring-ing people out," she said. "It's been a positive boost ... (and) it's a grand slam."

Market conditions are prime, with moderate temperatures. Wednesday’s forecast calls for sunny and cloudy condi-tions, with rain to follow after 10 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. From April through November, the public can come to the outdoor farmer’s market locations — Monu-ment Square on Wednesdays and Deering Oaks Park on Saturdays — “to support local agriculture and shop with up to 30 Maine farmers in one stop,” the Portland Farmer’s Market reports at its website, http://portland-mainefarmersmarket.org. During the winter months, the farmers move indoors and become the Portland Winter Farmer’s Market, Saturdays at the Maine Irish Heritage Center on the corner of State and Gray streets.

Saturday’s Answer

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re still not sure whether to attend an upcoming event. Sure, your friends will be there -- and so will your “fren-emies.” You may be worried about how to bridge the divide. The whole thing seems like a lot of work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Once you give someone a special place in your heart, you’re not likely to get the space back. It will be like a tenant who never leaves -- and maybe he or she is so solid that you don’t ever want that tenant to go. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is always something inconvenient about morality. Yet, if you really believe in the rightness or wrongness of an action, there will certainly be consequences for following through with it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it comes down to presenting ideas, you’ll have the winning delivery. Whether it’s about where to go for lunch or how to invest money, your way of stating things will heavily infl uence others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a day to follow your own interests. Talk to people who stir your curiosity, and take pictures of the things you fi nd beauti-ful. As you honor your preferences and inclinations, everything falls in line. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be excited to go further into an area of study. You sense that what you know already is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more to this than meets the eye. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The pretty things you want also happen to be expensive. Can you address prac-tical matters such as your budget and still uphold your aesthetic ideals? If anyone can, it’s you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stay-ing balanced requires fl exibility. Your level of grace depends on just how quickly you can make adjustments. It takes the right combination of strength and fl uidity to dance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are times when you feel like you’re just pretending to be yourself. Usually, this state refl ects a change in your identity that you haven’t quite caught up with yet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A situation is causing you more worry than you had anticipated. It’s nobody’s fault that you feel the way you do. How-ever, you are the only one who can move yourself into a new emotional tone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like so many things about your life these days. One of the things you like most is that you recognize your own power to change. You have the courage to create the next scene. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your extremely high expectations sometimes benefi t you, though these expectations may cause you and others more stress than they’re worth. Bring it down a few notches. You’ll be happier -- everyone will. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11). Your active pursuit of a new goal will release an inner well of strength in you. Family dynamics improve in November. You’ll pick up a fun new habit or interest in December. It is so impressive the way you remain focused through confl ict in January, and you will be promoted to a position of leadership. Sagittarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 39 and 18.

DAILY CROSSWORDBY WAYNE ROBERT WILLIAMS

Saturday’s Answer

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 11, the 284th day of 2011. There are 81 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 11, 1811, the fi rst steam-powered

ferryboat, the Juliana (built by John Ste-vens), was put into operation between New York City and Hoboken, N.J.

On this date: In 1890, the Daughters of the American

Revolution was founded in Washington, D.C.

In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt became the fi rst former U.S. president to fl y in an air-plane during a visit to St. Louis, Mo.

In 1932, the fi rst American political tele-cast took place as the Democratic National Committee sponsored a program from a CBS television studio in New York.

In 1958, the lunar probe Pioneer 1 was launched; it failed to go as far out as planned, fell back to Earth, and burned up in the atmosphere.

In 1961, actor-comedian Leonard “Chico” Marx, 74, died in Hollywood, Calif.

In 1968, Apollo 7, the fi rst manned Apollo mission, was launched with astronauts Wally Schirra, Donn Fulton Eisele and R. Walter Cunningham aboard.

In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astro-naut Kathryn Sullivan became the fi rst American woman to walk in space.

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev opened two days of talks concerning arms control and human rights in Reykjavik, Iceland.

In 1991, testifying before the Senate Judi-ciary Committee, Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexu-ally harassing her; Thomas re-appeared before the panel to denounce what he called a “high-tech lynching.”

One year ago: Rescuers in Chile fi nished reinforcing a hole drilled to bring 33 trapped miners to safety and sent a rescue capsule nearly all the way to where the men were trapped, proving the escape route worked. Peter Diamond, Dale Mortensen and Chris-topher Pissarides won the Nobel Prize in economics.

Prickly City by Scott Stantis

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 23 years. We recently separated due to our 18-year-old son’s anger management issues and my wife’s sick parents. She moved out nine months ago to take care of them. Well, her parents died, and my son moved in with one of his friends. My wife’s brothers are doing everything they can to cut her out of the estate and throw my son in jail (he has a felony on his record). Now my wife wants me back, but quite frankly, I do not want her back. I have moved on with my life and don’t want the headaches that she and my son have brought me for the past three years. My attorneys have advised me to divorce, and my wife says they should be disbarred. Any advice? -- Mr. Soon-to-Be Ex Dear Mr.: We realize your life has been diffi cult and un-pleasant for three years, but still, you seem awfully eager to throw in the towel rather than explore what’s left now that the major headaches have been mostly resolved. This is an op-portunity to see if you and your wife still love each other and could make a good life together. Emotional exhaustion can interfere with your decision. Please get some counseling, with or without your wife. Make sure you are not tossing away the future good with the lousy past. A 23-year marriage deserves that much. Dear Annie: Two years ago, my family moved to the east coast. I am active in the community -- volunteering at my chil-dren’s elementary school and our church -- and I also have a part-time job. My kids have made many friends and are doing well. The problem is their parents. Both my husband’s family and mine live in the Midwest, so making connections with people here is very important to us. We have had a couple of parties at our house in an effort to get to know people in our neighborhood. But no one ever

invites us to their house or their parties. I meet lots of great people through my job, but only on a professional level. I’ve met parents through my kids’ school and sports, but no real friendships have developed. We recently joined a social group (I’m volunteering to help run it), and that has helped somewhat. But so far, only one family in our neighborhood has made any effort to get to know us better. The only parties I am invited to are the ones where I’m expected to buy something. I like to think we are fun to be around since we have a lot of friends back home. Am I expecting too much, too soon? -- Sad in the Suburbs Dear Sad: We commend your efforts, but making new friends can be hard these days. Pick one couple in your neigh-borhood and invite them over. Do the same with a couple at school, church and perhaps one from work. See what you have in common, and try to build on that. You also could join a local club, choir, political organization, book club, commu-nity theater, art or photography group and see if that garners you some friends with shared interests. Several of our readers have suggested meetup.com, and you might give that a try as well. Good luck. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sick of the Shrew,” whose bitter sister-in-law, “Elaine,” spreads lies within the family. She and I could compare relatives all day. After a particularly troubling visit with one relative, my husband found “narcissistic personality disorder” on the In-ternet. The best suggestion was to limit the time spent with the poisonous person. That seems obvious, but it was a rev-elation to us. My husband is still involved with this relative as needed, but the information we gained and the decreased exposure has really improved our family life. -- Hope This Helps

Japan studies radiationTOKYO (NY TIMES) — In an effort to track the

long-term health effects of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan has begun a long-term survey of local children for thyroid abnormalities, a problem associated with exposure to radiation.

The study comes in response to concerns over the health consequences of the serious radiation leaks caused by multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in March. Japanese offi cials hope to study about 360,000 children who were under 18 at the time of the accident and track their health through their lifetimes, according to Fukushima Prefecture offi cials.

Children and pregnant women are particularly sensitive to radioactive iodine, which can harm the thyroid, studies after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster have shown. According to research pre-sented at a 2006 global conference, at least 4,000 cases of thyroid cancer among children have been linked to Chernobyl’s fallout.

On Sunday, the fi rst day of the Fukushima study, more than 100 children were tested. Specifi c test results will not be made public, according to Fuku-shima Prefecture. But the children, who will be tested every two years until they turn 20 and every fi ve years after that, will receive further care if doc-tors discover abnormalities.

Almost 20,000 people were killed in the earth-quake and tsunami that struck eastern Japan on March 11, which also ravaged the Fukushima plant and led to a huge release of radioactive substances into the environment. Although no deaths have yet been linked to radiation, concerns remain high over its long-term health effects.

Tens of thousands of people are unable or unwill-ing to return to their homes because of fears of con-tamination in the area. A 12-mile evacuation zone remains in effect around the Fukushima plant, though some areas have been exempted in a bid by the government to reassure evacuees that it is safe to return to some regions.

Offi cials in those regions have begun decontami-nating public areas by removing the topsoil from school playgrounds and hosing down roads and buildings. Government offi cials have acknowledged, however, that areas closer to the stricken plant may be off limits for decades.

Banks brace for fallout(NY TIMES) — The protesters who have gath-

ered for weeks near Wall Street and the highly paid investors and analysts in the buildings that sur-round them don’t agree on much.

But when it comes to the nation’s biggest banks, they have a lot more in common than you would think. Both are deeply frustrated with fi nancial institutions in general and have little faith in the message coming from bank executives.

Earnings season is about to upset one of those groups even more. Never popular to begin with, the nation’s biggest banks are rapidly becoming a focus of public dissatisfaction with the economy, uniting opponents including consumers upset about new fees, protesters who blame the banks for the nation’s economic woes, and lately, Wall Street types who have dumped their bank shares en masse.

For banks, the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.

They are due to begin reporting earnings this week, and the numbers are likely to leave investors as frustrated as ever, making the banks even more desperate to impose new charges on consumers’ accounts and rack up bigger trading profi ts.

Over all, revenue is expected to fall 4 percent in the third quarter, slipping back to 2005 levels, according to data from Trepp. The industry’s earn-ings are expected to be about what they were in late 2002.

The biggest banks are expected to be hit hard by a sharp slowdown in their Wall Street-related busi-nesses because of the chaotic third quarter in the markets. But the growth prospects for traditional banking are not great either.

Five hundred years ago almost everyone lived at the mercy of the night. Today, life as we know it — long evening hours, fl exible working days, our sense of safety — depends upon cheap, abundant light. In her compelling new book — imbued with human voices and startling insights — Brox examines the social and environmental implications of this remark-able transformation. Jane Brox is the author of three previ-ous books including Five Thousand Days Like this One, a fi nalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and her essays have appeared in many anthologies.”

Film: ‘The Interrupters’7:30 p.m. SPACE Gallery, 538 Congress St., Portland. Admission $7/$5 for SPACE Members. “The Interrupters tells the moving and surprising stories of three Violence Interrupters who try to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they once employed. From acclaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams, Stevie) and bestsell-ing author Alex Kotlowitz, this fi lm is an unusually intimate journey into the stubborn persistence of violence in our cities. Shot over the course of a year out of Kartemquin Films, The Interrupters captures a period in Chicago when it became a national symbol for the violence in our cities.”

Korean Cyclist Okhwan Yoon has cycled across more than 92 countries for 10 years. This shot is of him in Kathmandu, Nepal. He’s featured in Kevin Macdonald’s “Life in a Day,” produced by Scott Free UK, which is screening this weekend. (COURTESY IMAGE)
