Supt. Morse to leave Portland Schools On his tumultuous two years: ‘It never feels good when you’re restructuring’

BY CASEY CONLEY THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Portland Schools Superintendent James Morse announced yesterday that he will leave the school system when his contract expires in June.

Morse, who was hired in March 2009 and started three months later, has spent much of his two-plus years on the job trying to repair “broken” systems that he said were not meeting needs of students or faculty.

But with most of that heavy lifting now out of the way, and signs that recent changes are starting to pay off, Morse said it was time to hand over the reins to a new leader.

“One of the things that has brought me here today, is that when you are making the kinds of transformation that you’re making in an organization, ultimately you bring it to a place where it’s time to pass the baton,” said Morse, 56, at a press conference at the central office.

School board chair Kate Snyder said she expected the board would begin see MORSE page 7

Falmouth makes attempt at sex offender residency rules

BY MATTHEW ARCO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Certain convicted sex offenders could be barred from living within 750 feet of Falmouth schools, playgrounds and parks if the Town Council votes in favor of a new ordinance on the table.

Falmouth's police chief, Edward Tolan, proposed a residence restriction for convicted sex offenders at the council's Wednesday night meeting. The ordinance would block sex offenders convicted of

a felony crime against children under 14 from living near both public or private schools, and town-owned property "where children are primary users," according to the Tolan proposal.

The ordinance only applies to

Tensions still exist for mixed-race families TOMS RIVER, N.J. (NY Times) — “How come she’s so white and you’re so dark?”

The question tore through Heather Greenwood as she was about to check out at a store here one afternoon this summer. Her brown hands were pushing the shopping cart that held her babbling toddler, Noelle, all platinum curls, fair skin and ice-blue eyes.

The woman behind Greenwood, who was white, asked once she realized, by the way they were talking, that they were mother and child. “It’s just not possible,” she charged indignantly. “You’re so...dark!”

It was not the first time someone had demanded an explanation from Mrs. Greenwood about her biological daughter, but it was among the more aggressive. Shaken almost to tears, she wanted to flee, to shield her little one from this kind of talk. But after quickly paying the cashier, she managed a reply. “How come?” she said. “Because that’s the way God made us.”

The Greenwood family tree, emblematic of a growing number of American bloodlines, has roots on many continents. Its mix of races — by marriage, adoption and other close relationships — can be challenging to track, sometimes confusing even for the family itself. For starters: Greenwood, 37, is the daughter of a black father and a white mother. She was adopted into a white family as a child. Greenwood married a white man with whom she has two daughters. Her son from a previous relationship is half Costa Rican. She also has a half brother who is white, and siblings in her adoptive family who are biracial, among a host of other close relatives.

The population of mixedrace Americans like Greenwood and her children is growing quickly, driven largely by immigration and intermarriage. One in seven new marriages is between spouses of different races or ethnicities, for example. And among American children, the multiracial population has increased almost 50 percent, to 4.2 million, since 2000.

But the experiences of mixed-race Americans can be vastly different. Many mixedrace youths say they feel wider acceptance than past generations, particularly on college campuses and in pop culture.

Extensive interviews and days spent with the Greenwoods show that, when they are alone, the family strives to be colorblind. But what they face outside their home is another story. People seem to notice nothing but race. Strangers gawk. Make rude and racist comments. Tell offensive jokes. Ask impolite questions.

SAYWHAT...

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.”

Obama says facts support accusation of Iranian plot WASHINGTON (NY TIMES) — President Obama on Thursday vowed to push for what he called the “toughest sanctions” to punish Iranian officials whom he accused of complicity in a suspected plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States.

At the same time, State Department officials said United States officials had been in direct contact with the government of Iran over the accusations.

In his first public remarks on the issue since it was revealed on Tuesday, Mr. Obama sought to counter skepticism about whether Iran’s Islamic government directed an Iranian-American car salesman to engage with a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States and carry out other attacks. Mr. Obama insisted that American officials “know that he had direct links, was paid by, and directed by individuals in the Iranian government.”

“Now those facts are there for all to see,” Mr. Obama said. “We would not be bringing forward a case unless we knew exactly how to support all the allegations that are contained in the indictment.”

The president said the administration had reached out to its allies and the international community to make its case. “We’ve laid the facts before them,” Mr. Obama said at a news conference conducted with

the visiting South Korean president, Lee Myung-bak. “And we believe that after people have analyzed them, there will not be a dispute that this is in fact what happened.”

Mr. Obama’s comments came as Iran escalated its rebuttal of the American charges, saying the claims were so ludicrous that even politicians and press in the United States were expressing skepticism about such a scheme.

Iran’s state-run media was dominated on Thursday by rejections of the American charges. Press TV, an English-language news web site controlled by the Iranian government, quoted the foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, calling the charges part of a “new propaganda campaign.” The official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Ali Ahani, the deputy foreign minister, saying that “the absurd and conspiratorial scenario was made so immaturely that even political circles and media of the U.S. and its allies were suspicious about it.”

Later in the day, the news agency reported, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, added to rebuttal, telling a military ceremony in western Kermanshah province that “the Iranophobia policies of the arrogant powers will not bear any result in the region.”

Appearing next to South Korean president, who was in Washington for a state

visit, Mr. Obama promised to “apply the toughest sanctions and continue to mobilize the international community to make sure that Iran is further and further isolated and pays a price for this kind of behavior.” Mr. Obama said that all options are on the table — a diplomatic signal that he would not rule out military strikes — but administration officials privately say it is highly unlikely that the United States would respond militarily.

Instead, the administration will try to persuade Russia, China, Europe and India to endorse tougher sanctions against Tehran, a strategy which has had limited success, as Russia and China in particular have been wary about going too far in a direction which officials say could hurt commercial interests in those countries.

The State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, said on Thursday that the administration had directly raised the accusation with the Iranians, though she did not provide details. “We are not prepared at the moment to go any further on the question of who spoke to whom and where but just to confirm that we have had direct contact with Iran,” she said.

The United States has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since 1980, following the Islamic Revolution that overthrew the Shah and the ensuing takeover of the American embassy in Tehran.

Facing eviction, protesters begin park cleanup (NY TIMES) — As the clock ticked down on the occupiers of Zuccotti Park and the prospect of eviction loomed, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said protesters would not be allowed to return to the park with any camping gear after it had been cleaned.

“After it’s cleaned, they’ll be able to come back,” Mr. Kelly told reporters after a memorial ceremony in Battery Park. “But they won’t be able to bring back the gear. The sleeping bags, that sort of thing, will not be able to be brought back into the park.”

A set of rules, including the ban on sleeping bags, has been posted in the park for weeks, but has not been enforced.

On Wednesday night, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced that the park, which has not been maintained during the four-week occupation, would be closed temporarily at 7 a.m. Friday and cleaned quadrant by quadrant.

Many protesters have called the evacuation order a pretext for shutting down the protests permanently, and some have vowed nonviolent resistance on Friday morning, including encircling the park to prevent the police from forcing them to leave.

The city also seemed to suggest that the protesters would no longer be able to continue making the park their temporary living quarters.

“Protesters can remain in the park during Brookfield’s section-by-section clean-up and they will be able to return to the cleaned sections once work is

completed tomorrow and can stay in the park 24/7 so long as they follow park rules,” said Marc La Vorgna, a spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg. “We will continue to defend and guarantee their free speech rights, but those rights do not include the ability to infringe on the rights of others, which is why the rules governing the park will be enforced.”

On Thursday afternoon, a pre-emptive cleanup effort by the Occupy Wall Street protesters’ lurched into high gear.

Volunteers taped off sections of the park, hauled off debris and scrubbed the walkways clean — in the hope that if the park could be made spick-and-span, the city and the park’s owners, Brookfield Properties, might relent and let them stay.

At a meeting at the park Thursday morning, protesters urged each other to clean house. “Pick up a broom, pick up the trash, encourage people to wake at a decent hour,” one woman called to the crowd.

“Show Mayor Bloomberg that he is dead wrong.”

An older woman who identified herself as a landscape artist even suggested that they take up a collection to replace trampled chrysanthemums. The crowd heard her out, but it was suggested that she needed to take this proposal to the finance committee.

Fred Pantozzi, a protester, was one of the first to step up, filling plastic bags with trash. “Every action that you see here is autonomous,” he said.

French case against Strauss-Kahn Dropped PARIS (NY TIMES) — For the second time this year, judicial officials chose not to prosecute Dominique Strauss-Kahn on charges of attempted rape, ending months of scandal that have tarnished a political career that once seemed destined to lead to the French presidency.

There was evidence from Mr. StraussKahn’s own testimony of sexual assault in a 2003 encounter with a French writer and novelist, Tristane Banon, the prosecutor said in a statement, but given a three-year statute of limitations on that charge, no case would be brought.

Suspect in burglaries, thefts caught in Portland

BY MARGE NIBLOCK A suspect wanted on outstanding warrants for his arrest from Portland, Cape Elizabeth and South Portland was arrested Wednesday in an apartment at 485 Cumberland Ave., police reported.

Portland Police Department officers Nick Goodman and Dan Hondo arrested James Emerton, 46, at 4:50 p.m. on Oct. 12. Portland Police Department’s Crime Reduction Unit had been following up leads on Emerton’s whereabouts when they hit pay dirt at the location in downtown Portland.

Emerton has many prior convictions, and there were numerous warrants for numerous felony burglary charges, thefts, burglaries of motor vehicles, and violating conditions of release, police said.

NW

Becky’s Diner on Commercial Street had been burglarized twice by Emerton, and police have been out looking for him for a few weeks, officers said.

Lt. Gary Rogers said, “It’s good to get a guy like him off the street because one person like him can victimize many people.”

Emerton would enter open offices and restaurants, then go into unoccupied areas and look for cash or purses belonging to Emerton employees, police said. He’d then use credit cards found this way and run up numerous charges, they reported.

DAILY SUN STAFF REPORTS Linda Bean celebrated the grand opening of her Maine Lobster Café at the Portland International Jetport this week.

This 180-seat, full-service restaurant and lounge will offer the best of Linda Bean’s Maine lobsters, according to a press advisory.

Gov. Paul LePage and Portland Mayor Nick Mavadones were scheduled to attend the grand opening on Thursday.

Airport Director Paul Bradbury and Bean, founder of Linda Bean’s Perfect Maine LLC were among the other attendees. The Portland International Jetport recently opened a new $75 million terminal, where the new restaurant is located.

Linda Bean’s Perfect Maine Lobster Roll formerly was located in the former home of Java Net Cafe in the Old Port.

Falmouth Sea Grill announced that the upstairs restaurant has reopened following a renovation.

A staple in this waterfront community, Falmouth Sea Grill closed in November of 2010 and underwent a major renovation when the new building owner, together with restaurant owner Laura Argitis, decided the space needed a face-lift.

“The Falmouth Sea Grill sits on a prime piece of real estate. We wanted restaurant goers to have a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a great meal while looking out at one of the finest views a restaurant can have,” said Argitis.

The top floor of the restaurant is 3,300 square feet and features an open dining room, a separate bar area with a fireplace and three flat screen TV’s as well as a deck where patrons can sit and enjoy a drink while overlooking Casco Bay and Handy Boat Marina. The downstairs indoor/outdoor bar opened in mid-July while the upstairs renovation was completed.

Besides the obvious structural changes, Argitis made changes to the menu with help of Executive Chef David Connolly, who came on board with both

Skillin Elementary School pumpkin festival noon to 4 p.m. Saturday South Portland’s Skillin Elementary School’s PTA announced Wednesday that hundreds of pumpkins will be ripe for picking at Skillin’s own pumpkin patch.

Hayrides, face painting, a scarecrow contest and obstacle course will also be available for pumpkin picker-goers.

Large pumpkins will be sold for $5 and activity tickets are 50 cents each. Proceeds from the event will go to support the school’s PTA. Skillin Elementary School is located at 180 Wescott Road in South Portland.

Falmouth Sea Grill reopens its upstairs restaurant after renovations

the Falmouth and Old Port Sea Grill restaurants earlier this year. Connolly’s Mediterranean influence is apparent in the updated menu.

Additionally, the restaurant brought on a new pastry chef, Francesca Bowman who will be baking fresh breads that will be offered for the table as well as for sandwiches and lobster rolls.

“We are thrilled with the outcome of the renovation. Between the more casual environment and David’s simplistic approach with the menu, we are hoping the Falmouth Sea Grill is a place where families and friends will meet for a great dining experience in a spectacular setting, “ said Argitis. “We have been so pleased with the support from both our loyal customers and new ones when we opened the downstairs bar, we look forward to opening the rest of the restaurant for everyone to enjoy.”

Port City Architecture designed the new restaurant. John Charette, who led the team from Port City Architecture, said the inspiration behind the design was the Maine coast and the boats themselves.

“We brought in the rocky Maine coast with the use of stone, and the downstairs bar is meant to echo the hold of a ship from the curved walls and timbers and the liberal use of natural wood throughout,” Charette said.

––––––––––––– LETTERS TO THE EDITOR –––––––––––––

By smoking, Maine’s protesters undercut their own arguments Editor, Like most people I have been following the Occupy Wall Street/Maine developments over the past month and find it difficult to empathize with their position. While walking through Monument Square the other day, I observed several of the protesters smoking while holding high their posters railing against corporate America. In my opinion, by smoking, the protestors are directly supporting one of the most controversial industries in our country and thereby out of integrity with their complaints. One of their biggest complaints is “I don’t have enough money.” I am an ex-smoker of 27 years (smoked from the age of 20 to 34) so I understand the smoking habit and the far-reaching results (both physically and economically) that it has on the individual, plus society as a whole.

It is very challenging to listen to a person complaining about their financial plight when they are standing there putting a match to $88,423. At the current average price of a pack of cigarettes, one pack a day creates a missed opportunity of over $88,000 over a 40-year period. If a person took the money that they would normally spend each month on cigarettes, approximately $182, and put it into a 0.05 percent annual interest, compounded monthly, savings account, they would have over $88,000 at the end of 40 years. Note: As savings dollars accumulate higher percentage yields are possible.

My point to the protesters is this: clean up your own act before blaming someone else for your woes.

Stop putting a match to your financial future. You could even go a step further and help others in the community ... just look around. At the very least, please consider being congruent with your actions concerning your protest ... or add a disclaimer to your posters: Protesting Corporate America — EXCEPT the Tobacco Industry.

The gift of glib Right now you’re probably asking yourself, how did Rick Perry do in the big Republican debate in New Hampshire this week?

He did great! It turns out that Governor Perry has a big energy plan, known as “The Plan I’m Going to Be Laying Out.” When he does, it’s going to be the answer to almost everything. We know that because no matter what Perry was asked, he talked about the plan.

Which will involve “the American entrepreneurship that’s out there.”

And a whole lot more. When he’s ready to tell you.

For the rest of the time, Perry pretty much sat there like a large boulder with good hair, while the remaining members of the gang attacked Herman Cain, the former fast-food chain president turned Republican front-runner, about his economic plan.

This is what we’ve come to. A presidential debate about the 9-9-9 plan.

9-9-9 is the sine qua non of the Cain candidacy. It would scrap the tax code and give us 9 percent corporate, income and national sales taxes. He mentions it every 10 seconds. (Opening statement, he got it in by 5.)

I have never heard anybody discussing the 9-9-9 plan in the real world, but obviously I hang out in the wrong places. The organiz-

Gail Collins ––––– The New York Times ers and the candidates felt the need to really get into this, and, as a result, Tuesday night in New Hampshire will go down in history as the 9-9-9 plan debate. (Here is how presidential primary debates go down in history. The tapes are stored in a moisture-proof vault in a civil defense cave in Indiana.

If the world as we know it should come to an end, the surviving members of our species will be able to relive these deeply American contests and pass their knowledge on to their children. Soon, they will go forth and repopulate a world in which all the boys sit around looking smug like Newt Gingrich and all the girls sound like Michele Bachmann. That is what they mean by “the living will envy the dead.”)

Among the elite cadre of Americans who have been thinking about 9-9-9, a good number have determined that it won’t raise enough revenue. “The problem with that analysis is that it is incorrect,” announced Cain firmly.

I do admire the way he does this.

If I could convey that tone, I would win every argument in my family just by saying “The problem with that analysis is that it is incorrect.”

And there would never again be a discussion of renting a limo for a family viewing of all the Cincinnati Christmas lights.

Also, Michele Bachmann pointed out that 999 turned upside down is 666, which would make Cain’s tax policy the mark of the devil. Cain seemed to find that amusing, but he looked a little peeved when Jon Huntsman suggested 999 might be the price of a box of pizza.

That, people, was the sum and substance of the wit and humor of the New Hampshire Republican debate. Jon Huntsman also tried to make a joke about gas, but we are not going there.

Cain, in an attempt to pull down his competition, asked if Romney could name all 59 points in his 160page economic plan.

Now I strongly suspect that Mitt could name all 59 points. I bet he repeats them at night to put himself to sleep. (“lower marginal tax rates ... more free trade agreements ... mmmmzzzzzzz.”)

But he didn’t fall into that trap.

He whipped out the seven pillars of Romneyism, which support the 59 points and can, therefore, be packed into one 30-second see COLLINS page 5

Let freedom ring, or at least don’t silence it At this point, some of you have probably at least heard of the protests going on in New York on Wall Street and subsequent copycats across the country including here in Maine.

I say “heard” because not all of the media outlets are giving too much credence or coverage to these grassroots movements. If Tea Party protests get exclusives and media access then so should others as well, especially those that are amassing thousands of people across the country.

This column isn’t about endorsing one side or another or even mentioning the issues in the debate, it’s about the idea that every citizen in this country has a right to speak his or her mind. It doesn’t matter if some of the people in these protests aren’t extremely knowledgeable about how our market economy works or the complexities surrounding corporate interests. It is their fundamental right to be able to petition a government or organizational system for a redress of

Justin Chenette ––––– Daily Sun Columnist grievances that they may have.

As someone who has covered politics for many years now, it would make more sense to me that this outpouring of frustration be directed at the individuals that have the real power; the individuals who have the most to lose by not listening to their constituencies; the politicians. These so-called leaders are the ones responsible for regulating Wall Street and reigning in corporate abuses if they happen.

What is most disturbing about what is taking place, though, isn’t what rightwing conspiracy theorists are calling anarchist behavior of the protesters; it

is the images through viral videos of the alleged police brutality and abuses. One television reporter and his cameraperson were even maced in the face and beaten with a baton for simply being near the protesters. That’s just one of many examples that raise red flags for me that this isn’t just about keeping the peace or for public safety or any of the other excuses that seem to be thrown about. True, there are times that protests get out of hand or protesters break policy and need to be dealt with by authorities, but at what point is it going too far.

I’m not suggesting that the police officers are at fault or that they are doing anything wrong per say, but I am suggesting that we are not a Third-World country where free speech and assembly are outlawed. This a country built upon the foundation of freedoms and rights, not of police ruled suppression.

If the images of authorities beating and macing people were of Mainers,

let’s say in Monument Square, would it change the significance or impact?

What is happening in one area could just as easily happen somewhere else, so keeping tabs on current events such as this is extremely important. Just because you don’t like what someone has to say or fully understand where someone is coming from, doesn’t give anyone the right to suppress their voice in this democratic society we live in.

I for one would like to see all this energy channeled in a more productive way like at the ballot box, but it isn’t for me or anyone else to say what’s the right or wrong way to get a point across.

Let freedom ring.

Why is the New World Order suddenly going in reverse?

A primary reason is the resurgence of nationalism. Nations are putting national interests ahead of any perceived global interests.

A second reason is the decline of a West whose project this was. We no longer dictate to the world, and the world no longer marches to our tune.

The deficits and indebtedness of Western nations preclude more of the big wealth transfers in foreign aid that once bought us influence.

A third reason is demography. Not one European nation has a birth rate sufficient to replace its population.

Europe’s nations are aging, shrinking, dying. A depopulating Germany cannot carry forever the deficit-debtor nations of Club Med. The oldest nation, Japan,

is on schedule to lose 25 million people by 2050, as is neighbor Russia.

Militarily, America remains the most powerful nation. But Iraq and Afghanistan have bled the country and left us without the certain attainment of our goals. Old allies like Turkey go their separate ways.

Ethno-nationalism also explains a disintegrating world order. Aspiring nations like Scotland, Catalonia, Padania, Flanders, Ingushetia, Dagestan, East Turkestan, Kurdistan and Baluchistan seek a place in the sun, free of the cloying embrace of the mother country.

The desire of peoples for nations all their own, where their own language, faith and culture predominate and their own kind rule to the exclusion of all others, is everywhere winning out over multiculturalism and transnationalism.

Through history there have been attempts to unite the world.

The Roman Empire. Catholicism.

Islam. The West that ruled much of mankind from Columbus to the mid20th century. Communism, which conquered half of Europe and Asia but arose and fell in a single century.

With the death of communism and the decline of the West — in relative population and power — Islam has become the largest religion, China the world’s emerging superpower, and Asia the continent of the future.

Could this still be the Second American Century?

Not the way we are going.

A high point: Gingrich accused Romney of starting class warfare COLLINS from page 4

response. If you ignore Charlie Rose yelling in the background.

The guy has pillars for his points. No wonder he’s winning.

There were other high points — Gingrich accused Romney of starting class warfare by advocating an end to the capital gains tax only for investors making under $200,000 a year. He also said Barney Frank

and Chris Dodd should be thrown in jail for their bill to reform Wall Street financial practices. Herman Cain said Alan Greenspan was the best Fed chairman in recent history. Michele Bachmann gave the fact-checkers another great night of error-correcting.

It was the usual good time for all, except you do kind of wonder what the heck gives this particular crowd of people the right to be the nation’s official presidential contenders. What do they have in common? Intelligence? Appropriate experience? A large base of follow-

ers? Not so much.

What have they got? They’ve all got glib.

Except one. It’s enough to make you feel sorry for Rick Perry. If he wasn’t Rick Perry.

As things stand, the Perry camp is apparently planning to keep their guy in the background during debates and hit Romney over the head with mean commercials. That shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe they’ll include the day Mitt drove to Canada with the family dog on the car roof.

Maine’s Cerberus Shoal: Where is this band now?

BY WILL ETHRIDGE SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Cerberus Shoal was the first Portland band I ever encountered. It was the winter of 2005 and I was living in Chicago. I remember waking up from a mid-afternoon nap (I was in college), and rolling over to see my new girlfriend (now fiancee) painting watercolors in the corner of my room. Strange, otherworldly sounds were emanating from my speakers: the click clack of a typewriter, the laughter of children, a swirl of beauty and chaos. In my half-awake state the song seemed to stretch on forever, and indeed it nearly did; I was experiencing Cerberus Shoals’ 18-minute masterpiece "The Ongoing Ding." I had never heard anything that had so masterfully combined voice, found sounds, poetry, and mystery to create something that reached beyond being a mere song and aspired to true art. Little did I know it at the time, but the song also served as a sort of prophecy, inexora-

bly drawing me to Portland, the source of its creation.

Of course, the first thing I did upon moving was to email the band through their website, only to be crushed upon learning that the band was on “hiatus,” and members of the group were now working on different projects.

However, my disappointment soon turned to awe upon discovering each of these projects. Cerberus Shoal: Where Are You Now?

Show to See: dilly dilly @ Port City Music Hall, Oct. 15, 8 p.m.

Erin Davidson initially joined Cerberus Shoal on bass, but the band’s embrace of kaleidoscopic sounds soon inspired her to learn musical saw, toy accordion, trumpet, bouzouki, and more. However, it wasn’t until the band entered its hiatus that she picked up the ukulele, took up the moniker dilly dilly, and revealed previously undiscovered layers as a songwriter.

In 2009, she released Of Art and Intention, an album that beautifully combined heartfelt longing with unexpected hip-hop flourishes. However, within a year of its release, Erin moved to Los Angeles, and Portland could only get its dilly dilly fix through the occasional youtube update.

But now she is back and set to play a homecoming show at Port City Music Hall! If that wasn’t exciting enough, she will also be joined by a full-band, a first for her solo career. Be there to witness a triumphant return.

Performing under the name Big Blood, Caleb & Colleen have self-released over a dozen albums in the last six years. In doing so, they have maintained the experimentation of Cerberus Shoal, but have focused their craft to create songs that would be legitimate pop hits in a more just world. Of course, Big Blood has no interest in the trappings of fame; they

make music because it runs through their veins. That purity of vision has been recognized all over the world, as evidenced by the release of their most recent album on a small Greek label. Of course, they are most beloved right at home, and their recent show at the Biddeford’s Oak + The Ax was packed to the rafters.

Now joined with Brother Oak on drums, Caleb churned out heavy riffs, and Colleen let loose her cyclonic voice and Big Blood reigned for a thousand years.

Track of the Month: La Perla by Olas The problem with all this effusive praise for Cerberus Shoals’ former members is that has left me little room to properly give due to Chriss Sutherland, the mesmerizing voice at the center of so many of the band’s classics.

So, my best option is just to point you in the direction of his music.

After playing a prominent role in Fire on Fire, and releasing two excellent solo albums, Chriss formed the flamenco-inspired Olas.

Although that band has now entered hiatus as well, you can still pick up their album La Perla from Peapod Recordings.

Morse told school board he would not seek a new contract MORSE from page one

the process of finding a successor later this month.

“I’m sad to see him go,” she said after Thursday’s news conference.

Morse left his job as superintendent of Messalonskee School District in 2009 to lead Maine’s largest school system, which at the time had more than 7,000 students. It was also a homecoming of sorts: Morse grew up in Portland and briefly dropped out of Portland High before an English teacher inspired him to shape up. He later graduated from PHS and the University of Maine.

As Portland’s superintendent, Morse inherited a district in disarray: Promotions weren’t Morse always made on merit, and fallout from the 2007 financial crisis where the district overspent by $2.5 million was still being felt.

At the time, Morse believed he was hired to fix the district’s “broken finances” and “bring credibility back to Portland Public Schools.” But it soon became clear that the district’s needs extended well beyond the front office.

“What I discovered was that the school board knew

the tip of the iceberg, the city knew the tip of the iceberg, and what they knew was that the finances were broken,” Morse said. “The sad news from twoand-a-half years ago was that all other aspects of the system were broken.”

In that first year, Morse implemented personnel and policy changes necessary to transport the finance department “from a backwoods kind of department into a state of the art system.” He also shook up the district’s leadership staff and installed new principals at several city schools — decisions supported by the school board that were not always popular with teachers and staff.

Morse also developed a multi-year budgeting program, established new accountability measures, and helped draft a comprehensive plan that the school board is expected to ratify later this year. He also negotiated a new three-year contract with the teachers union last spring.

“We really took a system that was not connected as a system and we brought it back together again, and we put the youngsters back at the center of that universe,” Morse said yesterday. “That was the job they gave me, and that was the job I did.”

These and other changes are starting to show results: Morse Portland High School experienced a 10 percent jump in its graduation rate last year.

Snyder said she was not entirely surprised by Morse’s decision to leave, saying she was “prepared

for several different pathways.”

Snyder said Morse declined to discuss a contract extension last year, and earlier this month when the subject came up again, Morse told the board he would not seek a new contract.

Morse said research has shown that superintendents who oversee major changes are often not suited to stay on once those changes take hold. He believes whoever succeeds him will face many challenges, but they will be rooted in academics, not finance or personnel.

“The next superintendent will have a much easier and probably a more wonderful experience than I had in the three years in terms of feeling good about the work, because it never feels good when you’re restructuring,” Morse said. “You have people's lives in your hands, their jobs in their hands, you see things that are happening that aren't acceptable to kids, so you struggle through all of that.”

Morse said he does not have a job lined up but will consider all options moving forward, including positions in education, the nonprofits or business. But after 35 years in education, he found it hard to imagine a career where he didn’t work directly with kids.

“I have a hard time thinking about not being associated with children in some way,” he said.

Snyder said Morse is eligible to collect benefits under the state’s retirement system once he steps down if he chooses.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You would rather make others feel relaxed, or even superior, than intimidated.

You’ll humble yourself even when you are fully aware that it is unnecessary or inaccurate to do so.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

A sadness in you will find release. This might come about in your life or through your identification with another person’s story. Once the sadness is gone, something warm and tender will rush in to fill its place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Morning brings a fortuitous event, one that you expect will occur again in the future. Your expectation of continued luck may be the very thing that makes it so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You seem like you have everything together.

This isn’t exactly true, though. Be mindful of your unmet needs. Tell people what they are so that you can give others the chance to help you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You think you’re fine on your own, but until you experience a deeper sense of fellowship and community, you won’t realize what you’re missing. Reach out and enjoy a sense of belonging.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 14).

Your beauty is enhanced by your kindness. You’ll notice you have a strange power within your close relationships.

You’ll let someone go in April and find out that they want you all the more because of the freedom that comes with loving you. November, May and June are the most profitable months.

Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 29 and 14.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ask for what you want. Your needs will be met.

This might be difficult for you to believe, having often been ignored by those too self-absorbed to really see you. Today will be different. Just ask.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You need guidance and direction. It is unfair of you to believe you will find your way on your own. Why waste time wandering aimlessly? Ask for assistance or, at the very least, a map.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Only seek relationships with those who are emotionally available. You need to be around a giver. With the proper nurturing, you could heal an old wound. It’s time for this to happen.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize that even if you are undeniably in the right, arguing with a stranger is senseless and will get you exactly nowhere. You’ll instead find a way to let the other person save face and move quickly on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your physical response to stress might not be to your liking, but rest assured your body knows what it’s doing. It’s giving you the energy to handle things and handle them well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel safe, even with people you don’t know too well. You’ll open up in some way.

Not only will you express your truth, but you also will recognize that it is your right to do so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are starting to realize that doing the right thing for yourself once or twice a week is simply not enough. It’s important that you make regular practice of it. Repeat the action often until it becomes habitual.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Oct. 14, the 287th day of 2011. There are 78 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 14, 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy suggested the idea of a Peace Corps while addressing an audience of students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

On this date: In 1066, Normans under William the Conqueror defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings.

In 1586, Mary, Queen of Scots, went on trial in England, accused of committing treason against Queen Elizabeth I. (Mary was beheaded in February 1587.)

In 1890, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th president of the United States, was born in Denison, Texas.

In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning for the presidency, was shot in the chest in Milwaukee. Despite the wound, he went ahead with a scheduled speech.

In 1939, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the HMS Royal Oak, a British battleship anchored at Scapa Flow in Scotland’s Orkney Islands; 833 of the more than 1,200 men aboard were killed.

In 1944, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel committed suicide rather than face execution for allegedly conspiring against Adolf Hitler.

In 1947, Air Force test pilot Charles E. (“Chuck”) Yeager (YAY’-gur) broke the sound barrier as he flew the experimental Bell XS-1 (later X-1) rocket plane over Muroc Dry Lake in California.

In 1961, the Frank Loesser (LEH’-sur) musical “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” starring Robert Morse as J. Pierrepont Finch, opened on Broadway.

In 1977, singer Bing Crosby died outside Madrid, Spain, at age 74.

In 1987, a 58-hour drama began in Midland, Texas, as 18-month-old Jessica McClure slid 22 feet down an abandoned well at a private day care center; she was rescued on Oct. 16.

One year ago: Chile’s 33 rescued miners posed with President Sebastian Pinera and were examined by doctors a day after they were freed from their underground prison.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Roger Moore is 84. Country singer Melba Montgomery is 73. Fashion designer Ralph Lauren is 72.

Singer Sir Cliff Richard is 71. Actor Udo Kier is 67. Singer-musician Justin Hayward (The Moody Blues) is 65. Actor Harry Anderson is 59. Actor Greg Evigan is 58. TV personality Arleen Sorkin is 56. Singer-musician Thomas Dolby is 53. Actress Lori Petty is 48. Actor Steve Coogan is 46. Singer Karyn White is 46. Actor Jon Seda is 41. Country musician Doug Virden is 41. Country singer Natalie Maines is 37. Actress-singer Shaznay Lewis (All Saints) is 36. Singer Usher is 33. Actor Ben Whishaw is 31. Actor Jordan Brower is 30. Actress Skyler Shaye is 25.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My husband and my son-in-law are both alpha males. My daughter and I are very close. In the early years of my daughter’s marriage, there was a small power struggle between her husband and me, but I bit my tongue until it bled. We seem to have reached detente. My husband, however, has not. “Joe,” my daughter’s stepfather, is a smart, nice guy. I married him when my daughter was in high school, and she respects him a great deal. She frequently asks for his advice and help. The problem is that my son-in-law, “Todd,” bristles at any advice from Joe and refuses to accept it. Then Joe becomes angry and cannot accept that Todd doesn’t want his territory invaded. We live several states away, but they need our help taking care of our granddaughter, so we visit regularly, always at their request. The visits always start out well, but after a day or two, the arguments begin, and I feel caught in the middle. Todd already has a fragile ego because my daughter is the breadwinner. He cannot tolerate Joe’s opinions on anything, and I can’t ask my daughter to help navigate this issue, because she will rightly back her husband.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Just writing this has helped reduce my blood pressure from our last trip. -Frustrated in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: It seems your daughter has married someone very much like her stepfather. Allow her to handle her husband her own way. You can work on yours. Joe doesn’t like that his advice isn’t appreciated, so try to get him to understand that Todd is sensitive to being told what to do -- just as Joe would be. Arrange your visits so your time together is limited. Stay in a motel if you can afford it. Go out for dinner by yourselves, saying you “want to give them privacy,” or better, insist on babysitting so they can have a romantic dinner out. When the two men have an unavoidable altercation and your blood pressure rises, leave the room and let them

hash it out themselves.

Dear Annie: I am 14 and just started high school. I have always been friends with younger kids, so I am worried about making friends when there isn’t anyone younger.

I go to a small school, and there aren’t a ton of people. I am friendly with everyone, but don’t have any really good friends I can count on. I had one friend last year who became competitive. She would make fun of me and get my other friends to join along. She still thinks we are good friends, but I am having other thoughts. I want to find a new best friend.

Am I freaking out over nothing? -- Confused Dear Confused: Navigating high school can be socially challenging, but it won’t help to become anxious. Work on developing your self-confidence -- it is highly attractive. And remember, not everyone is “best friend” material, and thinking you must find someone puts pressure on you. If you are friendly and easy to be around, you will find people to hang with.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the self-absorbed “Disappointed Reader,” who thought her in-laws were too demanding by wanting occasional calls and visits.

Some of my friends have discussed this attitude. We decided that since our children feel no obligation to call or visit, we no longer have any obligation to give them anything. We’ve helped with down payments, washers, dryers, refrigerators, cars, furniture, restaurant meals and trips out of town. We’ve spent plenty on grandchildren who don’t say “thank you” or bother to send a birthday card. We were there for them when they needed us. Now they don’t have time for us.

Our lawyers have rewritten our wills. “Disappointed Reader” may discover she isn’t getting so much as a personal memento. Thanks for the opportunity to give these selfish brats a heads up. -- Nana in Alabama

Detroit still in it: Grit and homers carry Tigers past Rangers

BY DAVID WALDSTEIN THE NEW YORK TIMES

DETROIT — Injured, exhausted and facing elimination, the Detroit Tigers went into what could have been their final game of the season needing a strong performance from their ace, Justin Verlander, and maybe a little luck, to stay alive. They received the right proportions of both.

Perhaps a bit sluggish at the end of a long season, Verlander still provided a gritty performance in leading the Tigers to a 7-5 victory over the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Thursday at Comerica Park.

The Rangers, who won in dramatic fashion in Game 4 Wednesday, lead the best-of-seven series three games to two as the series shifts back to Texas for Game 6 on Saturday. But the series was given a jolt of energy and intrigue as Detroit again demonstrated its refusal to succumb to an assortment of maladies or the Rangers’ impressive talent.

In a performance that displayed his competitiveness and determination, Verlander threw a seasonhigh 133 pitches over seven and one-third innings, allowing four runs, eight hits and three walks.

He had thrown so many pitches through the first five innings that there was some suspense about when he would be lifted. But Verlander came out again for the sixth, much to the fans’ delight, and then again for the seventh.

His final pitch resulted in a towering two-run home run by Texas right fielder Nelson Cruz, the hero of Game 4, who became the first player to hit five home runs in a league championship series.

But the Tigers set a club record with four home runs in one postseason game, including two from Delmon Young.

Fortune also played a role in the game as Miguel Cabrera’s ground ball hit third base, and a possible double-play ball turned into a run-scoring double that opened the gate for the Tigers’ fourrun sixth inning.

Playing with three players who most likely would not have been in the lineup had it been a game in June, the Tigers broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth. Young, who had homered in his previous at-bat, hit a two-run home run off Texas starter C. J. Wilson.

Young is one of the three Tigers playing through injury. He and Victor Martinez each have a painful oblique strain, but both produced. Martinez hit a run-scoring triple in the sixth after Cabrera’s lucky double.

And although most of the discussion of the Tigers’ injuries has focused on Young, Martinez and Magglio Ordonez, who was scratched from the series with a broken ankle after Game 1, catcher Alex Avila is so battered and bruised that Manager Jim Leyland acknowledged that he overused him in the regular season. But Avila homered in the third inning.

“Alex Avila might be hurting as much as any of them,” Leyland said. “We don’t really talk about that as much.”

Avila has the usual assortment of a catcher’s injuries, which partly accounts for his performance coming into the game: 1 for 17 (.059) in the first four games of this series and 2 for 33 in the postseason. But his third-inning home run gave the Tigers their first hit off Wilson, who started the game by retiring the first seven Tigers.

Monument Square already reserved for Iris Network event CONCERT from page one

Saturday," the group reported. "Schedule is as follows: 10:00 AM: March from Monument Square to Congress Square 11-1 PM: Stream Reggae 1-1:30: Dead Trend 1:30-3 PM: DJ Psydways (Beltek Foundation) with MC Pensive (Sandbag) 3 PM - Rally, Teach-in with Michael Hillard, and March 4-5 PMWood Burning Cat." OccupyMaine initially announced that it was staging a free Saturday concert in Monument Square. The concert, called Rockupy Maine!, was brought to the city for a permit, but the city noted it had to be moved or rescheduled, because on Saturday, Monument Square is already reserved for the

16th annual White Cane Awareness Walk by the Iris Network. The Iris Network is a group which seeks "to help people who are visually impaired or blind to attain independence and community integration."

Now, the protesters are seeking a permit to hold their concert in Congress Square along High Street.

The Rockupy Maine Facebook page states, "Free outdoor concert with Occupy Maine. Come reclaim the public square with your fellow 99%! We'll begin at Monument Square and march to Congress Square for music, chanting, discussion and another march with some local organizations. Bring your own signs, noisemakers and voices."

Commander Vern Malloch with Portland Police

Department said the concert will be viewed differently than an incident of individual protesters banging on drums in Monument Square. In that instance, in response to complaints, officers asked the protesters to stop drumming.

"They're applying for a city permit for the concert so it's being viewed a little bit differently than the beating of the drums," Malloch said.

"They've been very cooperative as far as their dealings with the police," he said.

The group has received the city's permission to camp in Lincoln Park, while continuing to hold day events in Monument Square. OccupyMaine is an outgrowth of Occupy Wall Street, an anti-corporate protest that is spreading across the country.

Waxman: ‘I think it’s something that needs to be looked at in every community’ RULES from page one

Class A, B or C felonies — not misdemeanor convictions.

A similar proposal was introduced to the Portland City Council by one elected official, whose sex offender residency restriction ordinance failed to make it out of the Public Safety Committee last year by a 2-1 vote.

In Falmouth, the proposal came in response to a 2009 state law that set

a maximum distance in which area municipalities could prohibit sex offenders from residing concerning schools and properties primarily used by children.

"We've been putting it together for about the last six months," said Tolan on Thursday.

He explained that the law was in response to some communities proposing over-the-top restrictions on convicted sex offenders that some

have argued were designed to completely eliminate the people from a particular area, Tolan said.

According to state statute, offenders living in an area prior to the adoption of a local ordinance exempts Waxman them from having to move. Currently, Tolan says the Falmouth Police Department is not aware of any sex offenders living within 750 feet of a school or town-owned park or playground.

"The state provided the distance, (but) the towns are required to have a mechanism to enforce that — which is an ordinance," he said. "It's got to get on the books … because once someone moves in, it's too late to pass it at that point."

The Maine Sex Offender Registry lists six sex offenders living within the Falmouth zip code.

Falmouth officials will host a public meeting at the next council meeting, and then town leaders are expected to vote on whether to approve the measure in December.

If the ordinance passes, it will accomplish what Councilor Dory Waxman attempted to bring to the city of Portland in 2010.

"I'm glad Falmouth is looking at it," Waxman said on Thursday. "I think it's something that needs to be looked at in every community."

Waxman's proposal closely mirrored the one soon to be debated in Falmouth. The 750-feet limitation made the Peninsula mostly off limits for certain sex offenders.

She introduced the ordinance after Bayside residents became aware that 17 registered sex offenders livied a short distance from Portland High School and The Boys and Girls Club.

Most of those registered offenders were residing in two apartment buildings located in the 260 and 270 block of Cumberland Avenue.

"That was kind of alarming to me," Waxman said. "I was very concerned and I got calls from people in the neighborhood who were very concerned."

The ordinance was discussed over the course of at least three Public Safety Committee meetings, in which

the argument was made — largely by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine — that residency restrictions do not prevent recidivism.

The ACLU of Maine representative went so far to cite studies that demonstrated that extremely tight restrictions could even increase the likelihood that a sex offender would reoffend.

"It was particularly painful for me when it couldn't get out of committee," said Waxman, adding, "The obvious to you is not always the obvious to everyone else."

Waxman went on to say that she doesn't plan to reintroduce the ordinance to the Portland City Council, but she did say that the conversation was well worth having.

"I'll be going off the council in December and so I'm not going to push for it right now. But, we had a conversation that nobody wanted to have in Portland and I'm glad that we did," she said.

Waxman added that following debate over the ordinance, the Portland Police Department has worked with her to better develop a curriculum for young people that educates them on the dangers some strangers present.

"I have thought of at least getting that curriculum and handing it to the superintendent of schools," she said.

"And asking, 'Can you find a place for this in your curriculum?'"

Portland's acting chief of police, Mike Sauschuck, explained that the department's senior lead officers have worked extensively to help deliver the so-called "stranger danger" message to children in elementary, middle and high schools.

"It was certainly something that we were doing already," he said. "(But) what we were able to do out of that effort was better develop an educational piece."

The chief added that the department also has a detective assigned to monitor and investigate sex crimes, who often checks up on convicted sex offenders to ensure they are following address registration requirements.

"Registered sex offenders are registered so we're aware of exactly where they are," he said.

At the time Waxman introduced the ordinance, police officials said there were 180 sex offenders listed in Portland. Currently, there are 220 names listed on the state's sex registry who live in the city.
