Janet Mishoe of Portland surveys a table dedicated to missing Waterville child, Ayla Reynolds, at a vigil in Monument Square Wednesday. The vigil, organized by the family of Ayla’s mother, Trista Reynolds of Portland, sought to remind the public of the ongoing search for Ayla, who was reported missing from a home in Waterville Dec. 17, 2011. Mishoe said as a volunteer, she works with Trista’s father, Ron Reynolds, at Maine Medical Center. (DAVID CARKHUFF PHOTO)

SAYWHAT...It is not only fi ne feathers that make

fi ne birds.”—Aesop

(NY Times) — Fossils discovered in northeastern China of a giant, previously unrecognized dinosaur show that it is the largest known feathered animal, living or extinct, scientists report.

Although several species of dinosaurs with feathers have already been uncov-ered in the rich fossil beds of Liaoning Province, the three largely complete 125-million-year-old specimens are by far the largest. The adult was at least 30 feet long and weighed a ton and a half, about 40 times the heft of Beipiaosaurus, the largest previously known feathered dinosaur. The two juveniles were a mere half ton each.

In an article in the journal Nature, published online Wednesday, Chinese and Canadian paleontologists said the discovery provided the fi rst “direct evidence for the presence of extensively feathered gigantic dinosaurs” and offered “new insights into early feather evolution.”

Xing Xu of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, who was the lead author of the paper, said in a statement that it was “possi-ble that feathers were much more widespread, at least among meat-eating dino-saurs, than most scientists would have guessed even a few years ago.”

Dr. Xu said the feath-ers were simple fi laments, more like the fuzzy down of a modern baby chick than the stiff plumes of an adult bird. Such insubstantial feathers, not to mention the animal’s huge size, would have made fl ight impossible. The feath-ers’ most important function was probably as insulation.

The species has been named Yutyrannus huali, which means “beautiful feathered tyrant” in a combi-nation of Latin and Mandarin.

Mark A. Norell, a curator of paleontology at the Ameri-can Museum of Natural His-tory in Manhattan, who had no part in the research, said the fi ndings were signifi cant because they swept aside a longstanding argument that perhaps dinosaurs had feathers only when they were small and shed them as they grew.

Corwin Sullivan, a Cana-dian paleontologist affi liated with the Beijing institute and an author of the report, noted that the idea of primitive feath-ers for insulation was not new.

“However, large-bod-ied animals typically can retain heat quite easily, and actually have more of a potential problem with over-heating,” Dr. Sullivan said. “That makes Yutyrannus, which is large and downright shaggy, a bit of a surprise.”

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Just hours after it was revealed that American soldiers had burned Korans seized at an Afghan detention center in late February, Iran secretly ordered its agents operating inside Afghanistan to exploit the antic-ipated public outrage by trying to instigate violent protests in the capital, Kabul, and across the western part of the country, according to American offi cials.

For the most part, the efforts by Iranian agents and local sur-rogates failed to provoke wide-

spread or lasting unrest, the offi cials said. Yet with NATO governments preparing for the possibility of retaliation by Iran in the event of an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, the issue of Iran’s willingness and ability to foment violence in Afghanistan and elsewhere has taken on added urgency.

With Iran’s motives and operational intentions a sub-ject of intense interest, Amer-ican offi cials have closely studied the episodes. A mixed picture of Iranian capabili-

ties has emerged, according to interviews with more than a dozen offi cials across the government, most of whom discussed the risks on the con-dition of anonymity because their comments were based on intelligence reports.

One United States govern-ment offi cial described the Iranian Embassy in Kabul as having “a very active” program of anti-American provocation, but it is not clear whether Iran deliberately chose to limit its efforts after the Koran burn-

ing or was unable to carry out operations that would have caused more signifi cant harm.

In offering an overall view of the threat from Tehran, Gen. John R. Allen, the senior allied commander in Afghanistan, told Congress in recent public testi-mony that Iran continued to “fuel the fl ames of violence” by sup-porting the Afghan insurgency. “Our sense is that Iran could do more if they chose to,” General Allen said. “But they have not, and we watch the activity and the relationships very closely.”

Iran’s efforts to stir Afghan violence worry U.S.

(NY Times) — Teams of scientists work-ing independently to understand the biology of autism have for the fi rst time homed in on several gene mutations that they agree sharply increase the chances that a child will develop the disorder, and have found further evidence that the risk increases with the age of the par-ents, particularly in fathers over age 35.

The gene mutations are extremely rare and together account for a tiny fraction of autism cases — in these studies, only a handful of chil-dren. But the odds that two or more people in any small group will have such problems in the same genetic location are vanishingly small,

strongly suggesting that the mutations are related to the diagnosis.

Scientists have been debating the relative infl uence of inherited risk and environmental factors in autism for decades, and few today doubt that there is a strong genetic component. But biologists have groped in vain for a reliable way to clarify the underlying genetics of these so-called autism spectrum disorders, includ-ing Asperger syndrome and related social dif-fi culties that are being diagnosed at alarmingly high rates — on average, in one in 88 children, according to a government estimate released last week.

Gene studies of autism point to mutations and parents’ age

Deadly blast shatters calm in Somali capital

MOGADISHU, Somalia (NY Times) — A bomb exploded during a ceremony on Wednesday at the newly reopened National Theater here in the Somali capi-tal as the prime minister was addressing the guests, turning an event that had been a welcome sign of growing calm into a grisly reminder of the many troubles still plaguing the country.

Somalia’s Ministry of Infor-mation said that four people, including two prominent sports offi cials, were killed, though offi cials said the prime minis-ter, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, was unhurt. Several journalists and a lawmaker were wounded.

Somali offi cials and some wit-nesses said a female suicide bomber was responsible. But in a claim of responsibility, Soma-lia’s radical Islamist insurgent group, the Shabab, said its opera-tives had planted explosives at the theater in advance. “Every-thing was carefully planned and orchestrated,” the organization said in a Twitter message.

The blast came amid signifi -cant signs of improvement in the capital, Mogadishu, a rubble-fi lled city ravaged by 21 years of civil war.

Mogadishu has been enjoy-ing a prolonged period of rela-tive peace, preserved in part by 10,000 African Union troops, soon to be increased to 17,000, who patrol the streets in tanks and armored personnel carriers.

TODAY’SJOKE“I wonder, what would I get for my last meal? Probably Mexican food because it’s my favorite food. It makes you a little gassy, but so what, you’re going down in an hour — not a big deal. And then, they’ll be like, ‘Any last words?’ ‘Yeah, pull my fi nger.’”— Dan Naturman

Five ex-offi cers sentenced in post-Katrina shootings

NEW ORLEANS (NY Times) — Five former police offi cers were sentenced to lengthy prison terms in federal court on Wednesday for the shoot-ings of six unarmed civilians, two of whom died, in the days after Hurricane Katrina, and for orchestrating a wide-rang-ing cover-up afterward.

The four policemen who were directly involved in the shoot-ings were sentenced to terms ranging from 38 to 65 years, and a police sergeant who was

overseeing an investigation into the shootings, and instead led the efforts to hide and dis-tort what happened, was sen-tenced to six years.

But while the sentences were long, they were not nearly as long as federal pros-ecutors were seeking — in some cases less than a third of the sentence they recom-mended — and for the most part were either the manda-tory minimum or several years more than the minimum.

Before delivering the sen-tences, Judge Kurt D. Engel-hardt of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana gave a lengthy speech condemning the con-cept of mandatory minimum sentences and disparaging the case put together by federal prosecutors, saying in particu-lar that he was “astonished” and “deeply troubled” by the plea deals with four cooperat-ing witnesses at the heart of the case.

Priest steps down during Maine AG investigation

Father James L. Nadeau is taking a voluntary leave of absence from public ministry while the Attorney General’s offi ce conducts an investigation of allegations against him, the Roman Catholic Dio-cese of Portland reported yesterday. The 51-year-old priest has been serving St. John Vianney Parish in Fort Kent for seven years.

“In order for the investigation to proceed unim-peded, Fr. Nadeau has taken a voluntary leave of absence,” said Bishop Richard Malone. “The diocese is cooperating fully with the Attorney General’s offi ce and at their request, I cannot discuss the alle-gations or anything about the investigation. I am hopeful that this process will go smoothly in order to lead to an expeditious and just conclusion.”

“As in any investigation, it’s important to respect the presumption of innocence,” said Brenda Kielty, spokeswoman for the Attorney General’s Offi ce. “It’s also important not to jump to conclusions about the nature of the allegations.”

The leave of absence took effect Wednesday. Another member of the clergy will be temporarily assigned to the parish as soon as possible, the Dio-cese reported.

For Holy Week, Bishop Malone had planned to cel-ebrate the Mass of the Oils on Wednesday evening at St. Louis Church, St. John Vianney Parish, Fort Kent and he said he would keep that schedule "to be in solidarity with parishioners."

Fr. Nadeau was born in Caribou and was ordained in 1988. His fi rst assignment was at St. Louis, Fort Kent in that year. He has also served at St. Andre, Biddeford; and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Portland.

City public works department misguided with golf course project

Editor, Michael Bobinsky, director of Public Works states

that he will build the Riverside South Clubhouse in the parking lot which would be a monumental and non-reversible mistake. This will result in a loss of 23 parking spaces and put golfers and children at risk. I’ve written City Offi cials and listed 16 reasons against building in the parking lot. Bobinsky needs to be stoppped!

Bobinsky will spend $150,000 on the clubhouse. I received quotes at $12,000 and “free labor.”

The South course has been without “fl ush toilets” for seven years and may be in violation of State Codes. Total membership has decreased 145 mem-bers in the last two years which represents $98,535 in loss revenue. Total Revenue decreased $220,046 in three years.

The South Portland course earns $100,000 more than Riverside South. If properly managed, the South course revenue’s would be $100,000 greater than South Portland’s.

The city has given away potential revenue from an ongoing “lumber operation” at the courses. It appears the city is in violation of States Tree Cut-ting Codes since they did not obtain a permit. The problem is that the city polices itself.

The golf courses are closed for more than 100 “spe-cial events” during prime time that deprives other golfers from patronizing the courses and results in loss revenue of $100,000 annually. The course loses another $100,000 of potential revenue in the “fall/winter” season.

Ron Lemire of Scarborough is going with the fl ow. Practicing healing arts around the country for three decades, his knowledge, hands-on skills, technique, and innovation have been utilized by many people, ranging in age from young to old. For Lemire it’s all about mind/body/spirit.

“Living in a body/mind/spirit continuum I do not see the body as a separate entity. It is con-stantly changing and evolving,” explains Lemire, whose work seems to be changing and evolv-ing as well.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in marine engineering from Maine Maritime Academy in 1972, Lemire spent three years at sea. Working his way up from tug boats to chief engineer on seis-mographic vessels, he observed the structure of a ship and how the systems worked. He made an interesting correlation, which transferred his knowledge of ship design to that of the human body. He became intrigued with the suspension mechanics of the body. While many may not see a relationship, for Lemire, “they

From John Denver to the Miami Dolphins: Mind, body, spirit

were so similar and obvious.” It was something he had to explore further.

He took a road trip to Boulder, Colo., for what Lemire thought to be a six-month adventure. As he arrived in the Rockies, he heard the song “Rocky Mountain High” for the fi rst time on the radio. Little did he know, this would be a premonition.

Boulder was a Renaissance. Musicians playing in the street, gurus of every denomination, people of different nationalities, health food stores, whole grains, herbs, beans, nuts, seeds, and miso — Lemire’s senses were on overload; he was open to all things alternative. Within two months, he met Dr. Timothy Binder; a naturopath, chiroprac-

tor, homeopath, herbalist and acu-puncturist. “I had never heard of any of these titles, so I made an appointment,” said Lemire. “This was the early ‘70s, none of these disciplines were mainstream.”

After six months, he didn’t leave. Instead, he apprenticed with Dr. Binder for four years, learning a technique called Posi-tion Technic, a method of apply-ing suspension mechanics to the human frame. He was introduced to other disciplines of structure that were beginning to take root. His main interest was Structural Awareness.

By 1977, a new soft tissue ther-apy called Hoshino Therapy inter-ested him. Professor Hoshino had two arthritis clinics in Coconut Grove and Boca Raton, Fla. He had fi nished his apprenticeship with Dr. Binder, who advised him that learning soft tissue therapy would make teaching Position Technic easier. He apprenticed in Florida for two years. His work ranged from working on arthri-tis sufferers to treating sports

Resident criticizes city handling of golf coursesLETTERS from page 4

Ron Lemire of Scarborough is looking to build a network of trainers interested in teaching classes using a fi tness system called Wun-jo. (COURTESY PHOTO)

VACHON from page 4

Body, mind, spirit renewed through Lemire techniqueinjuries for athletes in surrounding schools, and professional teams, such as the Miami Dolphins. When his two year apprenticeship ended, he returned to Boulder Colorado. A client asked him to come to Aspen and work on a friend of his, John Denver.

Lemire agreed. However, he had no car. It was December, and minus 20 degrees out. His friend had a 1963 Pink Cadillac convertible stored in the garage. There was a tarp over it, because the top was broken in the down position. Lemire placed his massage table in the back seat, and drove up to the gated community where Denver lived. Stopped at the gate, the guard asked who he was there to see. Lemire responded: “John Denver!” The guard called Denver, and Lemire heard him say: “Hey John, I got a live one here who says he has an appointment with you.” When Denver heard it was Lemire, the gate opened. Denver watched him drive up; with arms crossed, he looked over the Cadillac, and then said to Lemire: “Nice wheels, man!”

The two hit it off right from the start. Lemire ended up spending the next ten years as Denver’s cook, ther-apist, and body guard. Traveling with Denver, and his 40-person entourage, he was in planes, hotels and on concert tours. One weekend, a Hoshino Ther-apy colleague, visiting from Hawaii, caught up with Lemire and intro-duced him to a bizarre gadget called a Flo bag. His friend, Brian showed him a few moves and dropped off some bags. Lemire used it, and was amazed with the results. He felt lighter in his gate, and suspended in his stance. It all made sense to Lemire. The body is 75 percent water. The bag contains water. The system of putting water in motion “resonates with our liquid nature,” explains Lemire. Using the

system, water becomes the teacher, and the body makes the necessary adjustments to move gracefully from

the feedback of the water. Lemire taught Denver how to use it, and the Flo bags were taken on the tours.

They were fun to use, and they got in shape. But it didn’t stop there.

So adept with using the devise, he introduced it to the Boulder/Aspen community of infl uencers who prac-ticed body awareness in its many forms. He gave workshops. “It worked so dynamically that I found it to be the single most important device that could be incorporated in all movement expressions such as sports, dance, martial arts, yoga, rehabilitation, as a cross training tool, or a simulator.”

Roll ahead more than 20 years — Lemire married, moved to Maine and raised a family. He’s practiced Integrative Health Therapies here, and continued to perfect this unique devise. The system resembles a cradled boat, with a rolling motion of water. He’s been teaching classes to all ages at the Be-Fit fi tness studio in Scarborough, and working with the University of New England, tests have been conducted on fi fteen senior participants age 65-79. The study showed measurable results among participants who used the devise for eight weeks, three times a week for 30 minutes. Lemire has perfected the devise, and is launching his own ver-sion, called the Wun-jo. (www.wun-jo.com). He’s begun a soft launch via social networking, and he’s looking to build a network of trainers interested in teaching classes using this system.

From kids to aging boomers — if you’re tired of traditional exercise pro-grams, Join the ranks of John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Burl Ives, the Indiana Pacers, and many golfers — and improve your fi tness game. Lemire’s calm demeanor invites you to get in touch with your mind, body and spirit, and simply go with the fl ow.

(Karen Vachon is a resident of Scar-borough. She is a licensed insurance agent, and an active volunteer in her community.)

The courses are overstaffed by $200,000 annually or $2 million over ten years.

South Course revenue is 54 per-cent cash and “internal controls” are grossly lacking. I have requested a forensic audit given fi nancial discrep-ancies.

The city entered in a lease on July 21, 2005 without due diligence which

conceivably cost taxpayers $300,000 and loss revenue of $50,000 annually or $350,000 in seven years.

Will affordable health care bill result from ruling?

Editor,Question for the Supreme Court:

Does legality make a case true, good or right? In the case of corporate

donations to congressmen, the court made a corporation a person and by enabling it to donate or bribe legisla-tors with unlimited amounts of money. It was legal but not right.

Now, in the case of the health care bill, will making it legal or illegal, will the legality determine whether we get a good, fair, workable, affordable healthcare bill?

DAILY SUN STAFF REPORTS

Rogers appointed principal of Lyman Moore Middle School

Stephen Rogers has been appointed as the princi-pal of Lyman Moore Middle School in Portland, the school district reported. He has served in a one-year position as interim principal since last July.

Portland Superintendent James C. Morse Sr. announced Roger’s appointment at the April 3 meet-ing of the Portland School Board. Morse said that administrators, teachers, parents and community members were involved in the selection process.

“I am excited to be in a position to further the great work that this school is doing,” said Rogers. “Our focus for the year was to lay the foundation upon which we can build to put this school at the top in terms of culture, climate and student achieve-ment.”

Rogers served as assistant principal at Portland High School from 2006 to 2011. He previously worked for nine years as Moore’s principal.

“Our goal will continue to be making our learning meaningful and relevant by extending it beyond the four walls of the classroom,” he said. “Our school will work as a team to ensure that all of our stu-dents exit with the knowledge, skills and habits to be successful in high school and beyond. I look for-ward to continuing to partner with parents and the community to achieve our mission.”

Earlier this year, Moore received an award from the Portland chapter of the NAACP for the school’s work to create a healthy climate that encourages student success. "Moore has created an ongoing partnership with the NAACP to foster a sense of belonging within the school for students, parents, staff and community members," the school district reported.

In October, Moore dedicated a new outdoor class-room and other schoolyard improvements that were designed with input from students, parents, staff and community members. The project to beautify the school grounds will continue this year as a part-nership between the school, the city of Portland and Portland Trails.

Other major events during the current school year include a mayoral candidates debate last fall that was organized by students, a naturalization ceremony hosted by sixth graders and an upcoming anti-bullying training presented by Moore seventh graders for Portland

fi fth graders. In addition, Moore has revitalized its Parent Teacher Organization, raised more than $40,000 in grants for a Chewonki Outdoor Leader-ship experience for sixth graders and increased the staff ’s voice in making decisions.

U.S. Sen. Snowe to speak at USM commencement Saturday, May 12

U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe will be the speaker for the University of Southern Maine’s 132nd Com-mencement, the university reported. The ceremony will take place beginning at 9 a.m., Saturday, May 12 in the Cumberland County Civic Center.

“I am profoundly honored to join the University of Southern Maine’s distinguished 2012 grad-uates at their commencement ceremonies this spring,” said Snowe. “USM stands as a beacon of learning and opportunity, and has been deservedly recognized for several years and counting, including in 2011, as one of the Best in the Northeast by The Princeton Review."

Senator Snowe, who recently announced she would not seek re-election, is only the fourth woman in history to be elected to both houses of Congress and the fi rst woman in American history to serve in both houses of a state legislature and both houses of Congress. She has won more federal elections in Maine than any other person since World War II.

"We are deeply honored to have Senator Snowe speak at USM’s commencement,” said USM Presi-dent Selma Botman. “Her distinguished record of public service embodies fundamental Maine values that will inspire our graduates and their families: integrity, hard work, and courage in defense of prin-ciple.”

ACLU of Maine issues strip search warning to sheriffs

A Maine civil liberties group has issued a “warning” to the state’s sheriffs not to increase jail-related strip searches in the wake of a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the issue.

The court ruled earlier this month that authorities may strip-search people arrested for any offense, including relatively minor fi nes or petty crimes, before admitting them to jail even if offi -cers have no reason to suspect the person of hiding weapons or other contraband.

On Wednesday, the ACLU of Maine Foundation said in a prepared statement that it “... warned sheriffs to continue to observe Maine’s prohibition on suspicionless strips searches of anyone who is arrested.”

The group noted that current Maine law “... allows jailers to strip search people arrested on serious offenses, and to strip search people when an offi cer has reasonable suspicion that they might be smuggling weapons or contraband. But, current law

prohibits strip searching every-one without justifi cation.”

“People who are brought to jail for minor non-violent offenses do not all need to be strip-searched,” said Zachary Heiden, legal direc-tor of the ACLU of Maine, in the statement. “We are talking about people who have not been found guilty of anything, and jails need to treat them like human beings.”

Maine is one of at least 10 states that have policies at odd with the federal ruling, according to reports published in The New York Times.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, appointed to the court by Ronald Reagan in 1988, wrote for the majority that: “Every detainee who will be admitted to the gen-eral population may be required to undergo a close visual inspec-tion while undressed.”

What changes the court deci-sion brings to Maine may take some time to sort out.

Glenn Ross, president of the state sheriff ’s association, told The Bangor Daily News that the court’s decision will apply only to arrestees who are unable to

make bail or must appear before a judge.

“We are not going to start strip-searching everyone who comes through the door,” Ross told the newspaper. “We want to look at whether people charged with minor crimes and are low risk [for bringing in contraband] might be placed in a separate area away from the general population.”

Any restraint on strip searches would seem welcomed by the Maine ACLU, which notes that states can increase civil protec-tions.

“The U.S. Constitution sets the fl oor, and not the ceiling, for the protection of individual rights,” said Heiden, the ACLU legal director. “Maine law and the Maine Constitution continue to protect arrestees from suspicion-less strip searches. Jailers can strip search people arrested for violent or drug-related offenses, and they can strip search anyone when there is a good reason to believe they are smuggling weap-ons, drugs, or contraband. Jailers do not need to also be allowed to strip search people for no reason.”

Diane Sinclair (right) and Doug Bowen, both of Porter, represent Maine’s offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement Wednesday at Monument Square. At 1 p.m. today, Occupy USM — another branch of the anti-corporate protest movement — is scheduled to conduct a “planning meeting: Responding to Botman,” on the University of Southern Maine campus. Botman is USM President Selma Botman, who has come under fi re from faculty and the public for her management. Some faculty members are circulating a petition aimed at forcing a no-confi dence referendum vote on Botman. Occupy USM, complaining of administrative raises and other issues, wrote, “Only student pressure can force the administration to listen up. It’s time to stand up and testify.” (DAVID CARKHUFF PHOTO)

Vigil in Portland marks missing Waterville child’s second birthday

A crowd converged in Monument Square Wednes-day to commemorate the second birthday of missing Waterville youngster Ayla Reynolds.

The vigil, organized by the family of Ayla's mother, Trista Reynolds of Portland, sought to remind the public of the ongoing search for Ayla, who was reported missing from a home in Waterville Dec. 17, 2011.

Ron Reynolds, maternal grandfather of Ayla Reynolds, thanked all of the supporters who came to the square.

"It's important to show that they care, that they're out here," he said. "I hope that Ayla comes home soon."

On Saturday, March 24, parties including Maine State Police, Waterville police and the Maine War-den's Service conducted a search in Waterville for the child, explaining that the conditions were right now that snow has melted. Nothing related to Ayla's disappearance was discovered, according to Steve

McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

Yet McCausland also told reporters that investi-gators have hit a wall with members of the DiPietro family. Ayla was staying with her father, Justin DiP-ietro, when she was reported missing. Authorities said DiPietro's sister and his girlfriend also were in the Waterville home at the time.

“The communication with Justin, his sister and his girlfriend have basically stopped,” McCausland said last month.

Asked if that’s frustrating, he said, “It’s been frustrating for police since December because we haven’t been able to fi nd Ayla, and as I’ve stated all along, I believe those three individuals inside that home that night know things that they haven’t told us, and that is frustrating.”

Asked what he thought of McCausland's com-ments, Ron Reynolds said, "I agree. I agree because they know, they know more than what they're saying. They were the last ones to see Ayla, how could you not know? It doesn't make sense. This whole thing

doesn't make sense."In January, DiPietro told reporters, "I would never

harm my daughter," and he has denied involvement in her disappearance. He was administered a poly-graph test, although results have not been made public. Ron Reynolds said he just wants answers.

"Not knowing where she is is a battle every day for everybody, this family. I just don't see how to keep going on, not knowing where she is, it's just not right. We need to have closure," he said during yesterday's vigil.

State police proved nobody broke in and took her, Ron Reynolds added, referring to state police's stated belief that foul play was involved.

"I believe that they know in that house, they're not saying anything," Ron Reynolds said. "Again, why does this family have to every day take the pain and the suffering, not knowing where Ayla is. It's hard not knowing where that little girl is."

Anyone with information about Ayla Reynolds is urged to call state police at 624-7076. For more information, visit www.maine.gov/dps/msp.

Brunswick: Town and gownWhy is there always something spe-

cial about a college town?Whether it’s the bookstores and

funky cafes, historic buildings and sloping lawns, or simply the lively local scene, college towns can charm the least studious of travelers. Bruns-wick is no exception.

From Bowdoin’s ivy-covered halls to refurbished antique mills along the Androscoggin, Maine’s oldest college town is a congenial mix of hip and

historic. Stately trees, mansions, and “college houses” — former fraternities — recall Brunswick’s past. Diversity

and youthful spirit tether it fi rmly to the future.

Amtrak’s Downeaster will soon be offering passenger train service from Portland to Brunswick. The Inn at Brunswick Station is poised and ready, offering comfortable boutique

rooms and spacious suites that still smell “new.” The comfy, contemporary inn overlooks the new train station, and is close to Bowdoin College and Brunswick’s funky little downtown.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be keenly aware of fortune’s favor. You’ll have an excellent sense of what will be lucky for you. You’ll also note what is likely to be burdensome, and you’ll run in the opposite direction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone cares enough to put on a theatrical show of emotions for you. This may pull at your heartstrings, or it may amuse you. Either way, you’ll fi nd it fl attering. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your reputation precedes you. There’s something in the way others approach you that makes you understand your position anew. This inspires you to do what it takes to keep your public image pristine. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just when you start to feel that life is a super-long road trip, someone dear will take the wheel for a while so you can relax. It’s proof that your people love you for who you are and not strictly for what you can do for them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The funny thing about sensation is that too much pleasure will quickly become pain -- ha, ha, ha. Moderation is the key to liking what you enjoy for now and the days to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You love your friends and family, but you don’t always want them in your business. Sometimes your door hanger is turned to “Do Not Disturb,” and that’s just how it goes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is joy and unexpected pleasure to be had by giving in to the wiles and whims of others. Tonight: Be careful not to defend yourself before you’re being attacked. That’s a sure way to show weakness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you feel an inexplicable pull toward the supernatural world? Your desire to fi ne-tune your intuitive skills begins with strong hunches and ends with an irresistible wave of feeling. Resistance is futile. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Work presents special challenges. You may experience feelings of jealousy, and if so, they’re something to cel-ebrate. You’re being led to excel in a certain direction. The spirit of competi-tion will keep you sharp. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Clinging to what you want only defeats your efforts. Let go. The old adage is so true: If it’s really yours, set it free, and it will come back to you. The art of detachment will liberate you both. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t always know what you’re doing. It’s beautiful -- to those who understand beauty. Life is a creative process, after all. Your ability to improvise will come into play. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Coming up with solutions for the prob-lems of the world seems to be your forte of late. You think no one under-stands the pressures you are under, but that’s where you’re wrong. Another Pisces can commiserate. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). Love connections strengthen this year as you create more experiences with loved ones. The next 10 weeks open your eyes and heart in new ways. Take a class in June. It will be such a fortuitous move that you’ll immediately sign on for another. Money in November adds to your holiday enjoyment. Your love signs are Pisces and Taurus. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 22, 13 and 18.

Yesterday’s Answer

DAILY CROSSWORDBY WAYNE ROBERT WILLIAMS

Today is Thursday, April 5, the 96th day of 2012. There are 270 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On April 5, 1862, during the Civil War, the

monthlong Siege of Yorktown began in Virginia. (Because the Union commander, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, overestimated the enemy’s strength and insisted on preparations for a full-scale assault, the Confederate defenders were fi nally able to slip away and head toward Wil-liamsburg.)

On this date:In 1614, Pocahontas, daughter of the leader of

the Powhatan tribe, married English colonist John Rolfe in Virginia. (A convert to Christianity, she went by the name Lady Rebecca.)

In 1621, the Mayfl ower sailed from Plym-outh Colony in present-day Massachusetts on a monthlong return trip to England.

In 1792, President George Washington cast his fi rst veto, rejecting a congressional measure for apportioning representatives among the states.

Prickly City by Scott Stantis

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I’ve been with my husband for 15 years. He has many good qualities, but he has always struggled with shyness, low self-esteem and awkwardness. When we got to-gether, he promised to be the fi nancial provider. He started many careers, all of which fi zzled. Twice he’s had yearlong gaps where he was unemployed. Right now, he works a min-imum-wage job. We are both in our mid-30s and recently had our fi rst baby. I am resentful and angry that I had to return to work and put the baby in day care. I missed my baby’s fi rst steps and fi rst word. I feel robbed of time with my child. My husband says the diffi culty of being the provider has been too hard to overcome. He wants me to let it go and move on. But, Annie, he is perfectly capable of making it happen. I never wanted to be “Mrs. Career,” and now I feel trapped. He always has excuses for not choosing a career. He has aban-doned me to carry this fi nancial burden on my own. I have seen a few counselors, who say to keep encourag-ing and believing in him, but my baby is nearly 2, and my husband is not making any effort. My father worked two jobs, and he says there’s something wrong with a man who can’t provide for his family. I tend to believe him. Do I let the dream die and accept reality or keep encouraging him? -- Sad Wife Dear Sad: There are worse things than being the main breadwinner and putting your child in day care. But the re-sentment and anger are problematic, and encouragement only goes so far. Please insist that your husband be evaluated for adult ADD, and also that he get some career counseling as well as therapy to work on his negative, self-defeating at-titude.

Dear Annie: My father is dying of cancer. According to the doctors, he doesn’t have much longer to live. Dad and his second wife have been married for nearly 60 years. She has some dementia. My two younger half-brothers have told me she will get very upset if my daughter and I go see Dad. My stepmother and I have never been close, but she was always very sweet to us in the past. I don’t want to upset her, but at the same time, I want to see my dad, and my daughter wants to visit her granddad before he passes. We were able to see him for a short visit in the hospital, and once we came over when his wife was out of the house. I know this is a stressful time for the whole family. I don’t think Dad has much more time, and I will be upset if he dies and I haven’t had a chance to say goodbye. What should I do? -- First Born Dear First Born: Go anyway. If you fear it will derail your stepmother, ask one of her sons to please take her out for din-ner or shopping so you can stop by with your daughter and say goodbye. Give them two or three possible time options, and insist that they select one within the week. Our thoughts are with you. Dear Annie: Here’s one more about naming a pet the same as a person. Years ago, I had a cat named Charlie. He was not allowed on our sofa. One day, a business associate stopped by and was sitting on the sofa talking to my husband. I walked into the living room and saw our cat jumping onto the couch. I yelled, “Charlie, get off of that sofa,” and the visitor sud-denly jumped to his feet in confusion. I had forgotten that his name was also Charlie. I quickly apologized. -- Still Chuck-ling in Pennsylvania

Lined with shops, bistros and galleries, Bruns-wick’s Maine Street has a retro feel, with appli-ance repair, toyshop, candlepin bowling, vinyl LPs and cigar emporium. The Wild Oats bakery offers tasty muffi ns and quiche, that popular ‘70s staple, and Broadway Diner offers free refi lls of toast. Little Dog and Bohemian coffee shops supply enough joe to keep time-travelers, students, and locals wide awake.

Straddling the riverbank is Fort Andross, a restored cotton mill full of exposed brick and ancient beams. The mill is home to yoga and dance classes, artist’s studios, and the sunny expanse that is Cabot Antiques. Frontier Café’s lofty space func-tions as an informal community center, with gallery, small cinema, views of the Androscoggin River, and locally sourced fresh fare. I enjoyed the surprise of Pineland Farms feta on a Middle Eastern plate.

Take a walk in the park to Bowdoin College Museum of Art, where visitors enter through an intriguing modern glass “box.”

The museum’s permanent collection includes old masters, distinguished Mainers like Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth, plus vibrant works by the likes of Mary Cassatt, Robert Rauschenberg and John Marin — no Mainer should pass this gem without stopping.

After a satisfying town-and-gown walk, we head back to the Inn, whose collection historic photo-graphs of Brunswick show how much or how little the downtown has changed in the last 100 years — depending on your perspective. To me, it seems remarkably intact.

The tavern is comfortable and neighborhoody, with locals enjoying conversation and cocktails. We inhale the aroma of coconut-curry mussels, delicious, and can’t resist. They’re sweet, briny, and we are not disappointed. A charcuterie and cheese board features artisanal fl avors, both locally sourced and “from away.” Artichoke and crab dip has a potent hit of cholula that elevates it from standard pub fare to hybrid. Yum.

Chef Kevin Cunningham is young enough to work the room like a puppy but seasoned enough to know it’s all about what he puts on the plate. The man can sear a scallop. Bar manager Lise Baratta’s by-the-glass wine list and savvy recommendations make

the evening feel like an event. Standouts include an inky Coppola noir that sips like liquid velvet.

After a blissful night’s sleep, we conclude our tour with a visit to vintage craftsman Michael Perkins and his reclaimed-wood furniture shop. Perkins’ hand-fi nished tables glow, as smooth and delicious as, well, the gelato across the street. Not quite ready to let go of the weekend, we stop at Lions Pride pub for beer and Belgian fries. Awed by the sheer number of taps, we choose the Weyerbacher Hops Infusion, Allagash White, and a small glass of Urban Farms Cider — delicious.

Hm. Maybe college towns are special because they’re smart. From highbrow to low, Brunswick’s got it covered.

For a relaxed and surprising daytrip or weekend, explore this convivial Maine Street and beyond — you won’t be disappointed.

Sam McPheeters reading with Doug Milliken7 p.m. “LA County writer Sam McPheeters, the former lead singer of Born Against and Wrangler Brutes and a found-ing member of Men’s Recovery Project, reads from his new novel The Loom Of Ruin. Supremely entertaining, acid and raw, McPheeters’ prose has appeared in Vice, the Chicago Reader, OC Weekly, the Stranger, and the Village Voice. Doug Milliken’s 2010 collection White Horses operates on its own particular logic — surreal, intimate, hard-edged and sensual.” SPACE Gallery, www.space538.org/events.php

The Nature of Lost Things7 p.m. Part of a public program series at Maine Historical Society that explores the connections between literature, art and history. The Nature of Lost Things with Rosamond Purcell, photographer. “Rosamond Purcell wrote the book ‘Owls Head: On the Nature of Lost Things’ in order to under-

stand how and why thirteen acres mounded high with scrap intermingled with antique machinery and historical ephem-era had taken over the landscape. The answers came from William Buckminster, owner of this culturally over-charged place who, one day, in passing, mentioned that the only person he would like to have acquire the two-centuries-old brass foundry that he had found in a pile of hay would be the Director of Maine Historical Society, Richard D’Abate, who, according to a recent magazine article, “seems like a decent sort of fella.” Maine Historical Society, 485 Con-gress St. The Richard D’Abate Lectures: Conversations About History, Art, and Literature (Program 4 of 7). http://www.mainehistory.org/

‘Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill’ at Freeport Factory Stage7:30 p.m. The Freeport Factory Stage features the “soul-ful and shattering production” of “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill.” “This production features the incomparable jazz singer, Mardra Thomas as Billie Holiday, with local musician Flash Allen at the piano. Directed by Julie George-Carlson, ‘Lady Day’ is a fi ctional account of the fi nal appearance by Billie Holiday at a seedy night club in Philadelphia, only four months before her death at the age of 44.

ent a theater workshop production of “Bridge,” “an original, new play inspired by the true story of Charlie Howard, the victim of a 1984 hate-crime in Maine that galvanized a com-munity and the state. Performances of this powerful play are open to the public and will take place at 7:30 p.m., April 5 and 6, in the Performance Space in the Emery Community Arts Center. Written and directed by award-winning Maine playwright Jayne Decker, this one-act play was developed in a theater workshop with UMF students and tells the story of a young man as he is bullied and thrown off a bridge for being gay. While the main character in Decker’s drama is named to honor Howard, the rest of the play’s charac-ters and location are nameless — emphasizing how this is everyone’s tragedy. ... This theater workshop production is sponsored by the Emery Community Arts Center and con-tains adult language and is for a mature audience.”

Alan Lomax: ‘American Patchwork’4:30 p.m. SPACE Gallery presents: “From 1978 to 1985, the famed folklorist Alan Lomax traveled through the American South, docu-menting its traditional music — brass bands, second-liners, and Mardi Gras Indians in New Orleans; miners, moonshiners, and Primi-tive Baptists in Kentucky; fl at-footers, string bands, and Piedmont blues in North Carolina; Cajun cowboys, Creole fi ddlers, and Zydeco stompers in Louisiana; fi fe-and-drum ensem-bles, gospel quartets, and former railroad track-liners, levee-camp muleskinners, and players on the pre-war blues circuit in Missis-sippi. This footage ultimately totalled over 400 hours and was edited into Lomax’s ‘American Patchwork’ series, which aired on American public television in 1991. But the lion’s share has never been seen publicly. Nathan Salsburg, an archivist and producer from the Alan Lomax Archive, will be screening a program of assorted clips from the ‘American Patchwork’ collection with a Q&A to follow. Co-sponsored with 317 Main St. Community Music Center, with support from Bangor Savings Bank.
