PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Gulf of Maine is vital to life in our state. It feeds us, affects our weather and makes many jobs possible. But while the Gulf is big - 36,000 square miles of ocean - its also changing.
The Gulf of Maine is getting warmer -- fishermen and scientists are starting to see the effects.
The average temperature of the Gulf has risen 2 degrees Centigrade over the past hundred years, according to records from the Maine Department of Marine Resources. But during some recent summers, particularly the summer of 2012, the temperatures in the Gulf have climbed even higher than usual.
Scientists point to the dramatic drop in shrimp populations in the Gulf as one result of warmer waters. Shrimp, they say, are a cold water species and apparently moved out or did not reproduce because of warmer sea water.
On the other hand, researchers and fishermen say lobsters have been helped by the warmer Gulf temperatures. They say the huge increase in lobster populations over the past years is at least partly the result of temperature.
And warmer water also appears to be luring new species to move to the Gulf. Fishermen say Black Sea Bass are showing up more frequently. So are squid and blue crabs. All are species that, until now, were normally living in the mid-Atlantic region. Prof. Andrew Pershing of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and the University of Maine sums it up this way: "I describe the Gulf of Maine last summer as looking like you moved the Gulf of Maine south to New Jersey". That was in 2012, when what he calls an "ocean heat wave" hit the Gulf and some other parts of the North Atlantic.
How long will the warm-up last? No one knows. Many fishermen say they believe it's a cycle and the temperatures will go down in the coming years. Many scientists say they believe the warmer water is part of a world-wide temperature increase caused by global climate change, and that the trend could continue.

Five years ago, the Pittsburgh generics giant cobbled together an empire through its acquisitions of Dey Pharma, Matrix Laboratories and the Merck KGaA generics business, going from being the No. 3 player in US generics to No. 3 worldwide. Now Mylan is looking to expand in markets where generics are underutilized, including much of Europe, the Middle East and Asia (half the company's revenues come from generics-happy North America), while increasing the number of products it markets from 4,700 to 6,700 by 2015 and pushing into generic biologics. The firm faces some generic erosion of its own, though, as Sanofi and Intelliject will launch a competitor to its lucrative EpiPen Auto-Injector franchise in November.

It's not often that first tracks of the season and a first descent coincide, but winter came hard to Boulder, Colorado, over the last few days causing me to vigilantly search out potential vertical around town. The ditch behind the Boulder County Sheriff's office is overlooked by most, but at 8-10 vertical feet, it offers some of the best bang-for-buck town laps of the entire metro. Plus, it's about 30 steps out the back of Skiing Mag HQ, and no one has ever skied it (that I'm aware of).
After crossing a small creek and a field of frosty typha , I quickly hammered out four runs in the ditch. It was glorious. And it deserved a celebratory beer. Alaskan Brewing Company's Winter Ale was the perfect cap to the momentous event. Why? It says winter right there on the label of the bottle, and because it's delicious.
An English Olde Ale brewed with spruce tips, Winter Ale is heavy, both in malt flavor and alcohol, but doesn't weigh you down. The spruce tips give the beer a light, almost citrusy flavor. This easy sipper is something you can relax with. There's very little bitterness. Most of this beer's complexity is in its malts, which deliver nice flavors of caramel and toffee. It's one of the finer winter ales I've ever tasted, and I plan on drinking a fair amount of these during the next few months.
It's go time Ma Nature. Bring on the snow.
Big ups to Marquette Backcountry Skis and Spirit Hoods for helping me make this happen.

The nation may or may not go over the "fiscal cliff," but Republican Jim DeMint will be going off the hill in January. The South Carolina senator announced Thursday he will resign his Senate seat next month to become president of the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation. The organization's founder, Edwin J. Feulner, will step down as president in April.
The conservative senator, a favorite of Tea Party activists, said in a written statement he will continue to defend the principles and advance the policies he believes in.
"I'm leaving the Senate now, but I'm not leaving the fight," the statement said. "I've decided to join The Heritage Foundation at a time when the conservative movement needs strong leadership in the battle of ideas. No organization is better equipped to lead this fight and I believe my experience in public office as well as in the private sector as a business owner will help Heritage become even more effective in the years to come." Later, DeMint told Fox News, "I honestly believe I can do a lot more on the outside than on the inside."
De Mint, 62, was elected to a second term in 2010. Widely regarded as among the most conservative members of the Senate, he has not been bashful about breaking party ranks, recently criticizing fellow Republicans for agreeing to put revenue increases on the table in negotiations with Senate Democrats and the White House to avert the "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and spending cuts to take effect starting January 1 unless Congress and the president reach a deficit reduction agreement. DeMint received a 100 percent rating in the latest edition of "The Freedom Index" published by The New American, which rates the voting record of Congress members on key issues to show their level of "adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements." DeMint received an 85 percent cumulative rating on votes cast over the past two years.

By RICHARD SHAWGeneral manager
In a rural area like Carbon County, chances are newlyweds will be going away for their honeymoons.
A honeymoon is the trip a married couple will never forget and newlyweds need to communicate with their mate and find out what their honeymoon expectations are. If expectations can be matched, honeymoon planning is easy and will make a trip of a lifetime.
Couples need to remember that a honeymoon is not a vacation where they can run off and play, it is a chance for a little romance between newlyweds before they have to rejoin their normal life at home. A honeymoon should be full of romance and the couple should plan to be together for most of it.
A few questions that need to be discussed before planning for the perfect honeymoon begins, are:
Does the couple want to honeymoon close to home or half way around the world?
What kind of weather do they want?
How much do they want to spend?
Do they want to take a cruise or stay at a resort?
If a couple answers all of these questions together, they are sure to find the perfect honeymoon spot, but perfect honeymoons don't just happen, just like most vacations, they have to be carefully planned.
Couples should never forget to get information on local attractions to see before they choose their destination. Calling local tourist boards for brochures and information on the most romantic restaurants, the most exciting things to see or do and more before leaving home is an easy way of obtaining information on local attractions.
The place chosen to be the honeymoon destination is the key to honeymoon happiness.
Some of the most popular destinations for newlyweds are Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico, Tahiti, Italy, Las Vegas, and Bermuda.
The most popular of all has been the Hawaiian Islands for the last several years. This may be because Hawaii is top for affordability, food, nightlife, romance and snorkeling and diving. The islands also have the most beautiful beaches and scenery for the cost, you can even get up close to volcanoes all over the islands.
Whether a couple plans on having a relaxing honeymoon or an action filled one, they should always look at local attractions.
If going to Hawaii, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun. Couples can lounge on the beach sipping tropical drinks, or scuba dive or swim with tropical fish. There are also many tours that are given in Hawaii. Couples can tour the volcanoes of the Hawaiian islands and learn mythology about the Hawaiian culture at the same time.
Newlyweds can even spend time shopping in the center of Hawaii where there are many stores to choose from. It's always recommended to buy a few souvenirs along the way.
If a couple decides to take a cruise, everything they need is provided for them. Cruise ships have their own swimming pools along with dancing classes, gyms and many other exciting activities.
Cruise ships stop at several locations during the trip, giving couples the chance to visit many different places rather than just one.
Cruises are also stocked with the most appetizing of foods, all included with the price of tickets. The price of a cruise can also be less expensive than a trip to a certain destination. Everything is included in the price of the tickets, and the only thing a couple would have to pay for is if they decide to go shopping at stops along the way.
If the couple is still unsure of where to honeymoon, they can always ask their friends and family where they've been, or talk to a travel agent. There are a few travel agencies in Carbon County, including First Class Travel and Price Travel, that can help couples decide where to go and what hotel to stay at.
It never hurts to talk to an expert on the subject, and travel agents can find the best rates available. Consulting a travel agent can also help ease planning tension. Travel agents can help decide what is best for a couples and know what to check for when booking hotels and tours.
Destination weddings should also be kept in mind by couples. Destination weddings are becoming very popular and many couples are choosing to marry in the same place that they honeymoon. This can save a considerable amount of money and hassle.
Most hotels will be happy to arrange a wedding and even price it as part of the package. Some hotels even offer free weddings.
Some couples decide to bring a few members of the family or a small wedding party whose members might stay in the same resort for a weekend, then leave the couple alone for the rest of the week.
After deciding a destination, couples need to decide where they will stay on their honeymoon. Couples should always keep a budget in mind when making hotel plans.
Before booking a hotel, a couple should find out where the hotel is located. If it is far from town, they will have to budget for extra taxi fares.
If the couple decides to take a tour while on their honeymoon, the text inside of brochures should be read. If this is done, they can determine what meals and sightseeing trips are included in the tour.
A couple needs to be diligent when it comes to planning. The more homework that is done, the more romantic, and the more fun a honeymoon will be for a couple. A few things couples need to make sure they do when planning are:
Be specific when booking for a honeymoon.
Outline needs and interests to a travel agent.
Ask for specific airline seats, cruise ship cabins and/or type of room that are wanted. This will prevent the couple from being disappointed when they reach their destination.
Ask how they will arrive at the hotel from the airline terminal.
Specify the time of day they would like to leave home or arrive at your destination.
Now that a choice has been made for the honeymoon, couples should make sure that it will stay perfect when they arrive.
Writing down a schedule of everything they want to do while away can help prevent a couple from overlooking an attraction they want to see.
A few general travel tips that should be followed to have a memorable honeymoon are:
Write name and address inside and outside your bags.
Carry basic essentials on board.
Check batteries in cameras and bring extras before departing on your trip.
Bring plenty of film.
Check what documents are needed to leave and enter a home country.
Obtain an international drivers' license if a couple plans on renting a car. They are available through the local AAA.
Take books or reading material to keep occupied on the plane.
Take all medicines and toiletries that are needed for the trip. Do not rely on finding them easily in a foreign country.
Put cash and valuables in hotel safes.
A calculator may come in handy if going outside a home country.
Reconfirm all flights.
Pack an extra bag to carry purchases.
When a couple arrives at the hotel, they shouldn't unpack immediately. Couples should check to see that everything they want is there. They should ask the bellboy to wait as they check.
If the room is not to their liking, they can go to the lobby, explain it's their honeymoon and the hotel should have no problem in changing it.
A couple should check to see if the bed is the right size, the bathroom is clean, theres a "do not disturb" sign and even make sure they have a working television and remote and no dripping faucets that can get annoying while having a romantic dinner.
If everything is good, they can move in and get comfortable. If they forgot something, housekeeping can be called. Housekeeping can bring extra towels, pillows, a hairdryer and even an iron.
After everything is situated in the hotel, the couple can start their honeymoon off right.
If arriving at a warm island destination like Hawaii, a couple can have a romantic candlelit dinner and a barefoot walk on the beach under the moon on their first night there.
The next day could be filled with adventure or romance.
A couple could enjoy a romantic breakfast in bed, followed by an enjoyable walk on the beach.
They could also go snorkeling or swimming in the ocean and then relax on the sand drinking tropical drinks.
It would be a memorable night with the chance of a candlelit dinner with a romantic bottle of wine.
If a couple decides to go somewhere cold like Aspen, they could enjoy a nice quiet dinner on the first night followed by sipping hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire inside their room.
The next day could be spent skiing on the slopes followed by a nice private dinner in their room wher they could have some time alone.
Whatever a couple decides to do while on their honeymoon, they should always expect to compromise with each other so both can thoroughly enjoy the time spent together.

PAWTUCKET — Despite acknowledgments that it's not an ideal situation, the Schools Superintendent intends to proceed with plans to move a majority of the incoming 6th graders to Goff or Slater junior high schools in September to deal with overcrowding.
At Tuesday's School Committee meeting, Schools Supt. Deborah Cylke reiterated her previous proposal to utilize empty classrooms at Goff and Slater to handle a projected shortage of space at six of the 10 elementary schools. Because the move is a management decision that is necessary to address a "housing crunch" in the coming school year, it does not need the School Committee's approval.
Under this plan, three 6th grade classes from Baldwin Elementary and three from Cunningham Elementary would attend Slater Junior High. Also, one 6th grade class from Curtis Elementary, two 6th grade classes from Potter-Burns Elementary and 35 students from Fallon Elementary would attend Goff Junior High.
The 6th grade classes at Greene, Little, Varier and Winters elementary schools, where overcrowding is not a problem, would remain there.
Cylke said she held informational meetings at Slater and Goff for parents and incoming 6th grade students. She called the meetings "very productive" and said parents "had a lot of great questions," some of which she answered and others which she promises to address in upcoming correspondence. She also said she plans to hold an "open house" at each school in May with a formal registration process and "welcome" activities.
Cylke said she considered some other options, including leasing portable classrooms or space at another location, holding double sessions, or looking at a year-round schedule. The best option right now, she said, is utilizing the extra space at Goff and Slater.
However, Cylke also noted that if the elementary school population continues to grow as expected, leasing space at another building, such as the empty St. Leo's the Great School, might have to be seriously considered for the following school year.
Cylke said that the move will require adding two more bus runs, at a cost of approximately $120,000. However, noting that the price of leasing portable classrooms runs at around $75,000 per classroom, she said the use of the available junior high space is still the most cost-effective solution.
Cylke said measures will be taken to ease the transition for the 6th graders, such as keeping them in a separate wing, giving them their own lunch period and providing a supervised entrance. She said the goal is to have the younger students be integrated with the older students, but also not to overwhelm them.
Students who want to apply to Jenks Junior High School for the 7th or 8th grade (the feeder school for the JMW Arts High School), will be able to do so, and special education, ESL and other services will still be provided, she said.
Cylke also said the 6th graders would have access to the junior high schools' extracurricular activities and sports (cross country, basketball and soccer), while their counterparts in the elementary schools would not. She agreed this was not a fair situation, but said this structuring is a temporary fix to address an immediate space problem. She added that she hopes to see the school district adopt a unified "middle school" concept for grades 6, 7 and 8 in the near future.
School Committee member Nicole Nordquist said that while she understood the space shortage, she reiterated her desire to see a district-wide middle school model. Committee member Sandra Cano also spoke about the importance of the school district being consistent in the type of educational opportunities it provides to the city's students.
Cylke said she agreed with data showing success under a middle school model, and said the Facilities Committee is addressing this type of restructuring in its discussions about future school building improvements. She added that if a district-wide middle school concept is adopted, this would require School Committee approval because it would constitute a policy change.
Ronald Beaupre, president of the Pawtucket Teachers Alliance, said the teachers involved with the change for the coming year had been apprised of Cylke's plan to move some of the 6th graders. He said that some had expressed concerns, and the overall hope is to have a district-wide middle school concept be instituted.
Beaupre added, however, that he was surprised to learn that evening that this move was just going to be a temporary one for the upcoming school year , and expressed concern about teachers "having to go back and forth" in various locations in the next few years .

Whither Weezie
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 04/15/06, 11:33am:
I know Hollinger likes him - and I'm usually with the numbers and APBR guys on most stuff -- but I saw enough evidence to suggest that Chris, as John once brilliantly put it, is never where he's supposed to be on a basketball court.
With a team that runs a helter-skelter offense that offers plenty of opportunities on the break, Wilcox is a nice piece to have. But the Clippers have emerged as a decidedly half-court team that needs precision from its role players on both ends in order to flourish. Guys needs to realize when they're been switched out on; they need to instinctively know when to yield the paint to their bigs, when to close out on opposing guards, when to give up on a play if they're a big man who happens to be caught up top.
Wilcox couldn't grasp any of these nuances in the half-court pro game, and that was demonstrated time and time again here in Los Angeles. Could a superior coach have found a better use for Weezie? Maybe. And I'd like to see him succeed, but at the end of the day, he's a 4 and has demonstrated an inability to thrive anywhere other than the power forward position.
And so long as we have this Brand guy, Wilcox would never have gotten more than eight minutes a game at PF. Those who can't plainly see that -- no matter what kind of sick numbers he's putting up in Seattle, Wilcox is a guy who'd never realize his potential as anything other than a backup in the Clippers system that already has a two-headed monster down low -- are baffling to me.
I also subscribe to the idea that once you get past your top three scoring options, the way to win titles - Association, conference, division - is not to keep adding scorers, but to go after a bunch of glue guys. The Bowens, Bobby Jacksons, Horrys, Kerrs and Clifford Robinsons. Quentin Ross is one of those guys; Sam Cassell is one of those guys; James Singleton could become one of those guys.
Chris Wilcox?
Not one of those guys.
So best of luck to Weezie; he's an ACC man and I hope he keeps putting up monster lines with the Sonics. Maybe he can put together a Thurl Bailey type career. It would be nice to see.

For seven years now, every September has seen the arrival of an overwhelming onslaught of visual and performance art. Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's Time-Based Art Festival is like Of Mice and Men's Lennie: It loves you to such an overwhelming degree, it just might kill you. Although, when your last days include a huge dose of avant-garde dance, challenging theater, indie noise rock and men in spandex, at least you'll be entertained to the end. We hope these picks, organized into our own idiosyncratic categories, will help you survive. TBA takes place Sept. 3-13. Find a full schedule at pica.org.

Winnipeg Babysitter
Winnipeg Babysitter
It's my understanding that the weather in Manitoba is fairly cold, and provides residents with a lot of indoor free time. This conception has only been bolstered by Winnipeg Babysitter, Daniel Barrow's collection of programming from the '80s heyday of Canadian cable-access television. Barrow (whose show Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry also appears in the Festival and below) has curated more than two dozen clips—which he accompanies with slide-projector commentary—and they put one in mind of a highly localized YouTube. But today's Internet memes are never as hypnotic and hilarious as this display of Canuck sincerity. Consider these highlights: a heavy-metal band composed of sock puppets; a Crimestoppers hotline that helpfully reenacts attempted rapes, accompanied by classical strings; Magic Mike's Castle, a children's show in which longhair Mike strums a lute melody urging kids to "just say no to glue"; and Math with Marty, featuring the titular numbers whiz interrupting his blackboard calculations to croon The Love Boat theme with his sister. The second half of Barrow's show chronicles cable-access becoming sadly self-aware, as with a bizarre faux-survivalist comedy program hosted by Guy Maddin, and a freak show called The Pollock Pollock Gossip Hour, in which two siblings bring in homeless men to dance. The Pollocks' determined flaunting of their weirdness brings us just about to the place where we are today. AARON MESH.

What's our relationship to the channels of broadcast television and radio? Is the medium really the message, as Marshall McLuhan famously observed, or just a conduit for the dominant power structure? Broadcast is a traveling exhibit spanning four decades' worth of artists' interactions with mass media, including June Paik's manipulation of television news, Chris Burden's infamous 1971 hostage-taking of a TV host at knife point and the burgeoning movement of pirate FM radio stations popping up in basements across the country.

Younger: Ethan Rose, Laura Gibson, Ryan Jeffery
Before recording most of her recent album, Beasts of Seasons, local hushed-folk singer Laura Gibson collaborated with musician-sound artist Ethan Rose on another project. With Rose's clanging, ethereal backdrops behind her, Gibson wrote songs almost on the spot, encouraged to sing words and phrases that weren't bound to the rigid structures of her normal work. The resulting record is set for an early 2010 release on Holocene Music. This special multimedia performance, which sees Gibson and Rose joined by filmmaker Ryan Jeffery inside the glass box of PDX Contemporary Art, with the lyrics and music created as a reaction to Jeffery's projected images, will be the first peek into what should be one of the finest collaborations of 2010.

Johanna Ketola, The Walls of My HallWhere do we live, a house? Hmm-mmm.... an apartment? No, think more basic. Our body—that's where we live. Finnish artist Johanna Ketola has teamed up with Jan Wolski to produce a multichannel video installation that removes furniture, lighting and all other background props we use as our personal infrastructure. What's left is an eerily vacuumlike void with bodies floating in midair as they did in the 1970s novel and film Coma. It's dark, disturbing and thought-provoking. RICHARD SPEER. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Reception 8 pm Thursday, Sept. 3. Exhibit open noon-6:30 pm daily Sept. 4-13; noon-6:30 pm Thursday-Friday, noon-4 pm Saturday-Sunday. Sept. 17-Oct. 18. Free.
Brody Condon, Without Sun
In this 15-minute film about the nature of the psychedelic experience, Condon has collaged "found performances" off the Net, depicting girls and guys high on hallucinogens, narrating their trips in real time. How does an LSD or 'shroom high affect perception, memory or, for that matter, motor skills? Condon's subjects offer an illuminating case study. Before he died, Timothy Leary declared the Internet the new LSD. Without Sun gives us a glimpse of the intersection of both worlds. RICHARD SPEER. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Exhibit open noon-6:30 pm daily Sept. 4-13; noon-6:30 pm Thursday-Friday, noon-4 pm Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 17-Oct. 18. Free.
Road Trip
AMYO/Tinyrage, Too
It's just your everyday, around-the-globe sightseeing trip—except travelers Amy O'Neal and Ellie Sandstrom's reunions with friends and encounters with strangers explode into idiosyncratic dances instead of hugs and hellos. The intriguing video and live-dance mashup follows the two fabulous movers through encounters with 50 people from Pocatello, Idaho, to Tokyo, filmed in the course of the past 2 1/2 years, a wild array of experiences during which they end up meeting everybody but each other. The video scrapbook gets paired up with O'Neal's fascinating take on contemporary hip-hop during Too's world premiere at TBA. KELLY CLARKE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 6:30 pm Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 10-12. $15-$20.
Erik Friedlander, Block Ice and Propane
Erik Friedlander can make a cello sound like a cricket or a fiddle, a sonorous plaint or a foghorn. Over the past few decades playing with everybody from Courtney Love to John Zorn to the Mountain Goats, Friedlander has been expanding the role of the cello to include, presumably, almost anything. His current project, Block Ice and Propane, is a spare, lyric solo cello performance that melds the warm tonalities of roots Americana with jazz and modern classical, accompanied by his own narration and a series of photographs taken by his father on family car vacations. MATTHEW KORFHAGE. Winningstad Theatre, 1111 SW Broadway. 8:30 pm Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 10-12. $15-$20.
Between Us IMAGE: Megan Holmes
Tyler Wallace and Nicole Dill, Between Us
A pair of recent Pacific Northwest College of Art grads have tricked out a rented car with cameras, microphones and a cell modem. They will drive this technomobile around the city, transmitting their "private" conversations over the Web. At the end of the day they will park in front of Washington High School, where their interactions will be replayed on an enormous screen in a sort of inverted drive-in theater. Who says America's car culture is dying? BEN WATERHOUSE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Webcast at betweenuslive.com 1-9 pm, live performance 9-10 pm Monday and Wednesday, Sept. 7 and 9. Free.
Robbinschilds, C.L.U.E. (Color Location Ultimate Experience)
The Andy Goldsworthys of the dance world, movement-art duo Layla Childs and Sonya Robbins focus on vibrant color and the texture of their surrounding landscapes to inform their dance works. The quirky pair have created pieces involving the sea and the desert, concrete skateparks and highways in the past. For TBA, they're performing C.L.U.E.—their video collaboration with A.L. Steiner and Seattle rock band Kinski—live in and around the grounds of a defunct American high school. KELLY CLARKE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 2 pm Monday, 8 pm Tuesday, 1 pm Wednesday, Sept. 7-9. Free.
Pink Martini and the 234th Army Band: Oregon! Oregon!
When Blitz-Weinhard Brewing decided to commission a centennial tribute to Oregon in 1959, they could have chosen a distinguished old composer to write something solemn and patriotic and boring. Instead, they picked Stan Freberg, a TV and radio comedian, cartoon voice actor, advertising writer and musical satirist. Today, it'd be like signing up Weird Al Yankovic. Freberg slapped together a zany "plot" involving "two explorers [Harry and David] ad-libbing in the woods," a witch, a California fruit inspector, music that sounds like a '50s TV commercial and general nuttiness. Broadcast over the radio and narrowly released on a 12-inch vinyl album, the 21-minute Oregon! Oregon! A Centennial Fable in Three Acts was pretty much forgotten until the record found its way into the hands of Pink Martini's Thomas Lauderdale, who decided to revive and expand it for this year's sesquicentennial celebrations. He's enlisted a potpourri of Portlanders (including Metro Council President David Bragdon, Flash Choir's Sarah Dougher and Pat Janowski, and writers from OPB's Live Wire!) to create a new fourth act that brings the characters, portrayed by various local musical comedy vets, into 2009. The concert also features sets by Pink Martini and the Army band. BRETT CAMPBELL. Oregon Zoo, 4001 SW Canyon Road, ticketsoregon.com. 7 pm Saturday, Sept. 5. SOLD OUT.
Joyful Noise
Movements IMAGE: Eric Fisher
Ethan Rose, Movements
More than 100 music boxes playing at the same time: a new torture technique? No, it's Ethan Rose's Movements, a fascinating sound installation that combines antique musical instruments with cutting-edge electronic technology. The Portland soundscape artist is taken with music boxes, player pianos, carillons (a kind of bell keyboard) and the like. He used the 1924 Wurlitzer organ from Oaks Park roller rink in his last album. His fixation on old instruments springs not so much from a desire to simply preserve them before they vanish, but to recontextualize them among newer musical technologies. For TBA, Rose altered music boxes, carefully programming and timing them to tinkle and twinge at precise intervals. The result is a continually shifting sonic environment that envelops the gallery-goer in a stereoscopic, almost 3-D fashion. It's disorienting, discomfiting and oddly suggestive of both the recent past and the distant future. Born in Mexico, Rose has been working in sound installation, live performance and film scoring for the past 10 years, with local venues like Gallery Homeland as well as with internationally known film director Gus Van Sant. In the coming season he will collaborate on an installation at the Museum of Contemporary Craft with glass artist Andy Paiko, well known for his intricate sculptures. Movements promises a sonic time-machine trip that will engage your mind and your ears. RICHARD SPEER. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Reception 8 pm Thursday, Sept. 3. Exhibit open noon-6:30 pm daily Sept. 4-13; noon-6:30 pm Thursday-Friday, noon-4 pm Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 17-Oct. 18. Free.
Gang Gang Dance
Listen: Start with that anything-goes, we're-making-this-shit-up feeling of late-'70s No Wave, make it ecstatic instead of intimidating, and you get something like Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance. They're dynamic without specific direction, and their music goes everywhere: pan-tribal polyrhythm, tense pop synth, groggy drone, bristling guitar, theatrical vocal jumps and wails. From improv underpinnings they've moved to a pop that still feels uncontrolled, and in the meantime put on seven or eight of the best live shows I've seen anywhere, ever. See you there. MATTHEW KORFHAGE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 10:30 pm Thursday, Sept. 3. Free.
There's no making Bugskull's quietly ingenious musical trajectory make sense. From its 1992 start as Sean Byrne's cassette-deck indie-folk tracks, the band has wandered through parades of inside-out nonsense, backtracked musical leftovers and psych-rock freakouts. But for all its refusal of category, Bugskull captures better than any other band the feeling of mid-1990s Portland, that transitional mess of loose ends twixt Old Portland's Little Beirut and New Portland's livability matrix. Best not to miss this show: It'll be the band's first live performance in quite some time. MATTHEW KORFHAGE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 10:30 pm Saturday, Sept. 12, with Quasi. Free.
HEALTH, from Los Angeles: It's got billboard potential, with matte finish and desaturated light, in pastel. Except what's in play here is the noisiest of post-Liars dance punk, charmingly anarchic with skittering drumstick beats miked behind angular guitar lines that dead-end into beeps and restarts and the thousandth disco remix. Still, there's something in the sound that lets you know it wasn't birthed in some cramped Brooklyn practice space but rather a place of near-constant sun—this is chaos giddy in its self-discovery. MATTHEW KORFHAGE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 10:30 pm Friday, Sept. 11, with Pictureplane. $8-$10.
Locust, Crushed
"Dance isn't about just being in the studio," Seattle choreographer Amy O'Neal explained in an interview with a Washington cable-TV channel. "It's about...the way you walk down the street, the way you wash your dishes, the way you put your clothing on, the rituals you have to feel like yourself as you go throughout your day." That viewpoint holds true with Locust, her live/video collaborations with musician Zeke Keeble, which pingpong from pedestrian to fantastical and back again, using everything from live beatbox sessions to scritch-scratching Velcro straps for musical accompaniment. The pair's new work for this year's TBA is all about the "notion of being blindsided." If that means we get to be caught unaware by O'Neal's sinuous mix of hip-hop and modern dance, that's just great, thank you very much. KELLY CLARKE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 6:30 pm Monday-Tuesday, Sept. 7-8. $15-$20.
Explode Into Colors with Janet Pants and Chris Hackett
It's difficult to classify the sound of local trio Explode Into Colors. Is it dub rock? Basement punk? Gurgling drone-funk? The one thing you can say is that EIC plays dance music—hypnotic, rhythm-heavy tunes that turn any party, from a sweaty basement to a stuffy art gallery, into a swirling mass of moving bodies. So tonight's collaboration with experimental modern dancer Jane Paik, better known as Janet Pants, and filmmaker Chris Hackett seems born not just of sense but necessity. We're still not sure exactly what they're cooking up, but you can be sure it will be a feast for both your eyes and feet. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 10:30 pm Friday, Sept. 4. $10. All ages.
Big, Big Stars
Erased James Franco IMAGE: Courtesy-of-Carter-and-Yvon-Lambert
Carter, Erased James Franco
The best actors make their charades look easy. In Erased James Franco, the ambitious young Milk star turns each gesture into an act of extraordinary difficulty. Sipping a glass of milk, moving a chair, answering the phone: He performs every movement as if OD'ing on heavy sedatives, his underwater motions occasionally disrupted by a rictus of agony. He might be emoting; he might be passing a gallstone. It's all part of a one-day experiment by one-named multimedia artist Carter, who asked Franco to perform lines from his own movies—Spider-Man and The James Dean Story included—alongside reinterpreted monologues by Julianne Moore and Rock Hudson. If you could tell what movies were being stripped down to performer and script, it would be fascinating. But Carter, inspired by Robert Rauschenberg's erasing of a Willem de Kooning sketch, pulls the "performances" completely out of context—I think there was some Pineapple Express in there, but I'm not sure—so that the effect is more like hip-hop sampling than anything else. (But with the beats provided by Erik Satie.) It's an inspired idea, but it's too fractured to reveal much, other than that Franco's a good sport. AARON MESH. Northwest Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park Ave. 4:30 pm Sunday, Sept. 6; 8:30 pm Thursday, Sept. 10; and 4:30 pm Sunday, Sept. 13. $6-$7.
Rush-N-Disco (The Works, with Winnipeg Babysitter)
What did half-siblings Greg Arden and Alicia McDaid do before YouTube existed? YouTube is the medium the two use, under the moniker Rush-N-Disco, as the inspiration for their performance works. The Internet is a weird and twisted place, and Rush-N-Disco does something almost blasphemous in yanking it from cyberspace to plunk it on a stage near you. Naked and reimagined, YouTube marvels such as Penny Pearce's public-access hit "Why Do You Think You Are Nuts?" and the slew of talking cat vids may (be warned) lead to a shattering epiphany of the IRL variety. CAITLIN MCCARTHY. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 11 pm Thursday, Sept. 10. $8-$10.
Afrobeat Tribute to Michael Jackson
There are two reasons to be skeptical about this show, and they're both pretty knee-jerk: We're all getting sick of MJ-mania and, in recent years, Afrobeat has been the Auto-Tune of indie-pop, stamping aughts blog bands with a clear expiration date. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, some real talk: Commotion's Ben Darwish is one of the brightest young stars on the Portland jazz scene, and he loves his pop music as much as anyone. But when he says "Afrobeat," he doesn't mean occasional guitar flourishes a la Vampire Weekend or a quick trip to Graceland. No, Darwish, who appears tonight alongside a host of distinguished guests including the great African drummer Neindow Mashud, has studied up on his Fela Kuti and he's gonna make sure this set is tough, tight and quite possibly tear-jerking for those who miss the respective kings of American and African pop in equal measure. CASEY JARMAN. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 10:30 pm Monday, Sept. 7. $8-$10.
Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People, Last Meadow
James Dean is still cool. Case in point: The brooding man-child is the jumping-off point for New York dance instigator Miguel Gutierrez's newest work. Last Meadow snatches words and images from Dean's last three movies (East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant) and reshapes them into a "patchwork that describes an America where the jig is up and the dream has died." What the hell will this world premiere look like? Not even Gutierrez knows how to explain it: "I think this show will go over really well with people who like to be confused, " he told WW, before adding that the dance-theater work aims to put the ideas of authenticity and honesty onstage into question. The artist, who has been making increasingly fragmented, experiential and in-your-face pieces of his own since Portland first saw him dance with John Jasperse at TBA in 2001, found the perfect framework for his free-floating themes in Dean after borrowing a double DVD of East of Eden from a friend. The movie wasn't in the case, but the second disc of outtakes, commentary and extra information was. He found that disconnect intriguing. We're betting Last Meadow, with original music from Neal Medlyn(!), will be too. KELLY CLARKE. Winningstad Theatre, Portland Center for the Performing Arts, 1111 SW Broadway. 6:30 pm Friday-Sunday, 8:30 pm Monday, Sept. 4-7. $15-$20.
Things That Make Us Deeply Uncomfortable
Small Metal Objects IMAGE: Jeff Busby
Back to Back Theatre, Small Metal Objects
In much of performance art, the point is being smarter than the audience. And in this regard, Small Metal Objects is no exception—it notices things you don't; people you don't. The characters in the piece, by Australia's Back to Back Theatre, are played by performers with developmental or mental disabilities, and their interactions carry them to yet another category of person: the urban passerby. The premise is simple, a drug deal gone bad between business executives and the learning disabled, but it takes place amid unsuspecting crowds in Pioneer Courthouse Square while you, the audience, listen from headphones wired to microphones attached to the actors. Unknowing passersby are allowed to insert themselves into the fabric of the proceedings—perhaps annoyingly, perhaps as distraction; except that much of the point is that no one is distraction. MATTHEW KORFHAGE. Pioneer Courthouse Square, Southwest Morrison Street and Broadway. 6:30 pm Wednesday-Saturday, Sept. 9-12; 12:30 pm Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 10-12. $20-$25.
Pan Pan Theatre, The Crumb Trail
"Can we live in a world without fairy tales?" So proposes a play that is Hansel and Gretel as experimental, existential calamity, with a backdrop of YouTube clips and Top 40 hits instead of a German forest or gingerbread house. Pan Pan Theatre's The Crumb Trail is a shrink-wrapped and shredded version of the classic Grimm fairy tale, mashing up modern-day technology with two (count 'em, two) versions of Hamlet's suicide-pondering soliloquy. The 18-year-old Irish troupe emphasizes experimentation and the international stage; in 2006 it helmed an all-Chinese production of Playboy of the Western World in Mandarin, and The Crumb Trail itself was created and premiered in Germany. It is funniest at its most disarming and iconoclastic: see, for example, Gretel (Aoife Duffin) recalling her father's death, all intensity and wide eyes, while Outkast's "Hey Ya!" plays accompaniment. This is its West Coast premiere. CAITLIN MCCARTHY. Winningstad Theatre, 1111 SW Broadway. 248-4335. 8:30 pm Wednesday, 6:30 pm Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 9-12. $20-$25.
Young Jean Lee, The Shipment
The last time Portland saw a Young Jean Lee show, at the 2007 TBA Festival, the Korean-American playwright and director was skewering Asian-American bigotry and bigotry directed at Asian-Americans in Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven. In her latest show, Lee goes out on a limb and gives the same treatment to popular (white) stereotypes of black culture: A foul-mouthed stand-up comic longs to move beyond race-related material, but worries that no one wants to hear it; a hapless young rapper encounters drive-by shootings, drug dealers, a "video ho," prison and eventually success; a cocktail party casually exposes the preconceptions of the audience. Do not miss this one. BEN WATERHOUSE. Gerding Theater, 128 NW 11th Ave., 224-7422. 6:30 pm Friday, noon Saturday, 8:30 pm Sunday, Sept. 4-6. $15-$20.
Daniel Barrow
With the lines of a woodcarving and the palette of a sweets shop left to decay, Winnipeg artist Daniel Barrow's creations are at once whimsical and morbid. Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry is the mixed archaic-media tale of a garbage man on a mission to pioneer a new kind of phone book, with a page and illustration for each citizen. After sundown, he culls knowledge from detritus and sketches his sleeping subjects; the story is, like Barrow's art, reluctantly touching. Throw a serial killer into the mix and all bets are off. Barrow presents the story via slide projector and intimate narration. CAITLIN MCCARTHY. Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park Ave. 8:30 pm Monday-Tuesday, 6:30 pm Wednesday, Sept. 7-9. $10-$15.
Ma Qiusha, From No. 4 Pingyuanli to No. 4 Tianqiaobeili
Spilling your guts in front of a video camera is a little like talking with a razor blade on your tongue. And that's exactly what Ma Qiusha does in this confessional video installation. The twentysomething Chinese artist talks about dealing with her parents' expectations, the need to prove herself creatively and professionally, and other issues hitting home with her as she tries to make a name for herself as an artist. All the while, the razor blade sits on her tongue, making speech difficult—and dangerous—and providing a Marina Abramovic-like edge that's unsettling to the viewer. RICHARD SPEER. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Reception 8 pm Thursday, Sept. 3. Exhibit open noon-6:30 pm daily Sept. 4-13; noon-6:30 pm Thursday-Friday, noon-4 pm Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 17-Oct. 18. Free.
Men In Spandex
Death Electric Emo Protest Aerobics
Miguel Gutierrez, Death Electric Emo Protest Aerobics, a.k.a. DEEP Aerobics
Isn't the name enough to make you want to go? Rest assured that, yes, the New York choreographer-artist-musician is serious. "It's just me leading this really fucked-up, ridiculous, New Age-y, leftist aerobics class," Gutierrez says, laughing. "But you have to come in costume." It turns out Gutierrez actually taught aerobics 17 years ago in San Francisco. "I hated it. I hated being that happy for an hour," he says. But two years ago, while rehearsing a strenuous piece for a fellow choreographer, he realized he lacked the stamina to perform. "I need to do aerobics to get in shape for this," he thought at the time. "It would be really fun if an aerobics [class] was just as stupid as it really is." Video footage confirms the event as a happy-making, rainbow-colored bit of anarchy: The beats are pumping, there's a girl with an Olivia Newton-John bandana twirling and a guy who looks to have a plush Kermit the Frog toy attached to his green leotard, well, getting DEEP. And really, Gutierrez, who says he wore a piñata on his head to a recent class, doesn't care what you do as long as you come: "The only thing I care about is that I get credit." KELLY CLARKE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 11 pm Wednesday, Sept. 9. $8-$10.
Kalup Linzy
Kalup Linzy is a very strange man. Live, sporting a long, black wig and spandex unitard, he sings absurdist RB songs as his alter ego, Taiwan. On video, he writes, directs and performs all of the parts in a long-running soap opera series titled Conversations Wit de Churen. On paper, he paints crude stick figures with monstrous genitalia cavorting amid amoebalike clouds. The overall effect is deeply disconcerting; despite all the unintelligible muttering and crooning, one senses that Linzy is up to more than meets the eye. He has three projects in this year's TBA: Screenings of the first seven episodes of Conversations Wit de Churen, a separate screening of the latest episode, and a live concert with Ben Darwish, Sam Howard and Kevin van Geem. BEN WATERHOUSE. Episodes 1-8: Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park Ave. 6:30 pm Saturday, Sept. 5, and Friday, Sept. 11, 2:30 pm Sunday, Sept. 12. $7. Episode 8: The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Noon-6:30 pm daily. Free. Live concert: The Works at Washington High School. 10:30 pm Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Neal Medlyn
Neal Medlyn is the boy you stole lunch money from; he's the guy that performed lip-synced versions of Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" at the talent show; the one doodling in the back of the class, going prematurely bald. He has also brought Kanye West to tears. Such is the power of a stringy, bespectacled New Yorker, the self-styled "Paris Hilton of performance art," who stages grand send-ups of (or is it tributes to?) the Top 40 world. His "fifth pop-star opus" is …Her's a Queen, the first of a two-part saga homing in on Britney Spears and Hannah Montana. Presented in beta for TBA. CAITLIN MCCARTHY. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. 10:30 pm Wednesday, Sept. 9. $8-$10.
Stephen Slappe, We Are Legion
OK, including this Web-based art project under the category "Men in Spandex" is a little misleading. The Portland-based multidisciplinary artist Stephen Slappe's creepily nostalgic online and live album of "contemporary cultural indoctrination"—otherwise known as everybody's old Halloween photos, also include women in Lycra—not to mention boys in KISS masks, girls with Hello Kitty heads, Darth Vaders, Power Rangers and Freddy Kruegers, too. The artist is setting up stations at the Works during TBA to collect evidence of festgoers' youthful carousing in person, but you can submit your own photos at welcometothelegion.org right now. Watch Slappe's slow pan across suburban houses at nighttime with the soundtrack ON. KELLY CLARKE. The Works at Washington High School, 531 SE 14th Ave. Opening reception 8-10:30 pm Thursday, Sept. 3.

BUFFALO, NY - One state lawmaker is calling out Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard for his comments on the SAFE Act, after Howard voiced concerns about the state's gun control laws this week. Howard said he has no plans to dedicate Sheriff's Office resources to enforce the new law.
There are about 75,000 pistol permit holders in Erie County. More than any other county in Western New York. Plus, there are thousands of other guns here without permits. So, when the sheriff says he's not going to enforce the SAFE Act - the toughest gun control law in the nation - that's a serious decision and it's started quite the controversy.
"People know where I stand," he said, "they know how I feel, I'm very concerned for public safety. I'm very concerned for police and communities that we serve. This law is wrong. It will not help us, it's a squandered opportunity to make New York safe."
"When he made that statement [earlier this week] he sent a chill throughout the domestic violence community in Erie County," said Democrat Assemblyman Sean Ryan.
There's a showdown unfolding between Howard, a Republican, and Ryan, a Democrat. It's all about the SAFE Act. Even though Sheriff Howard says he won't enforce Gov. Cuomo's signature gun law, sheriff deputies haven't received any word from Sheriff Howard not to follow the law.
The decision to not follow the law could be just as serious as it is political. Sheriff Howard is running for re-election this fall, though he says politics is not involved.
Two democrats are also in the race.
And one of them, Lt. Bert Dunn, who works under Howard tells 2 On Your Side's Jeff Preval that there's been no change in policy within the sheriff's office to not follow the SAFE Act.
And that sheriff deputies are still following the law and that there's no plan to do otherwise.
Ryan is countering and demanding that Howard enforce the SAFE Act, which opponents say violates the constitutional right to bear arms.
"As a top law enforcement official in Erie County, you're job is to enforce the laws, you don't have the liberty to pick and choose," Ryan said. "We elect a sheriff, we don't elect a king. Kings get to make their own laws, sheriffs get to follow laws as written."
Specifically, Ryan raises concerns about a key part of the law, which enhances protections for victims or survivors of domestic violence.
The law says that if a judge feels someone is in danger when an order of protection has been issued then the weapon needs to be turned in. If the weapon is not turned in, law enforcement officials would need to take the gun away.
But Sheriff Howard says he would not do this, or follow any part of the law in Erie County. Although, the county has a Domestic Violence unit and Howard says that his commitment to the squad and the issue of domestic violence remains strong.
He has joined four other county sheriffs in signing his name to a friend-of-the-court brief seeking to overturn the Safe Act.
"If you know this is wrong, you can't enforce it, which is why I signed on, because the law should be as it's stated by anyone that did sign on did recognize it as being unconstitutional," said Howard.
Still, the move by the sheriff presents many questions. 2 On Your Side has asked the Sheriff if there are any other laws he is not going to enforce.
Could the sheriff face any penalties for refusing to enforce the law? The state Constitution does say a governor can remove any elected clerk, district attorney and sheriff for misconduct. Charges need to be given to the accused and they have to be given their day in court.
Howard says if that ever happened, he would, "fight to the end."

Slow Fish Campaign Reaches American Shores
United States
13 Sep 13
This weekend, Slow Fish – Slow Food's international campaign for sustainable fishing – will be officially launched in the US.
The launch will see a series of events taking place, starting on September 14 during the annual Fishtival event in New Hampshire. It will include activities such as the first ever youth-led Seafood Throwdown: a unique cooking competition to highlight the importance of local seafood in restoring a healthy ocean ecosystem. Inspired by the TV program, Iron-Chef, two young chefs will compete to see who can prepare the best locally caught seafood dish using items from the local farmers' market.
Others events taking place will be a documentary film screening, a fish filleting demonstration and workshop, and a 'Merroir Manifesto' community discussion.
The local community - fishers, chefs, youth, local sea and land organizations, and consumers - will come together throughout the weekend to discuss key questions such as: Why and how should we embrace local community-based fishing? How can we begin bridging the gap between consumers and community fishers? How can we improve policy to assure long-term vitality of family-owned fisheries? How can we inspire more chefs to begin working with locally caught seafood?
"We're really excited to help bring Slow Fish to New Hampshire and the US where our fishing families are facing extreme challenges. Over 90% of the seafood the public consumes is imported and yet our fleet catches more than enough to feed everyone. We need to reconnect to the seasonality of fishing and let consumers know that there are plenty of healthy, abundant and delicious fish species right in our backyard," says Padi Anderson, member of the Fishtival planning committee and co-owner of Rimrack Fisheries, a family-owned and operated fishing business (find more here).
The Slow Fish campaign works to promote community-based fishing, raise consumer awareness on the value of 'underloved' species of fish and create dialogue on the state of fisheries management. As organizer of the program and coordinator of the USA Slow Food Youth Network, Spencer Montgomery, explains, 'underloved' species of fish are those that community fishers pull up in their nets but struggle to find any local market value for. They are either discarded or sold to foreign buyers halfway around the world.
"The Slow Fish campaign could not come at a more critical time. Our source of food from the ocean is in danger of being taken over by industrial food production models like agribusiness and with that our marine environment is endangered," says Brett Tolley of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance. "Based on everything we've learned about our land-based food system over the past few decades, we know industrialization will endanger our environment, biodiversity, food safety, food sovereignty and food security as well as the economic and social fabric of fishing communities."
It's time to get together and discuss these problems in the same boat.

- How to Read a Study Record
This retrospective case-control study is being conducted to estimate the sensitivity of the pharmacogenetic marker, HLA-B*5701 for hypersensitivity to abacavir (ABC HSR). The specificity of the marker, and its association with ABC HSR, as measured by odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, will be evaluated as secondary endpoints. Cases will be defined in two ways - subjects who have clinically-suspected ABC HSR and a positive abacavir skin patch test reaction (CS-SPTPos) and subjects with clinically-suspected ABC HSR (CS-HSR), regardless of the results of skin patch testing. The study will include 40 CS-SPTPos Black cases matched with up to 200 abacavir-tolerant controls. In parallel, 40 CS-SPTPos White cases will be matched with up to 200 White controls. Some of the secondary analyses will use cases defined by clinical criteria alone (CS-HSR). Black and White subjects will be analyzed separately because of the differences in ABC HSR rates and in the carriage frequency of HLA-B*5701.

CANTON An Ogdensburg woman charged in March with selling crack cocaine in the city pleaded guilty to the charge Thursday in St. Lawrence County Court.
Amy L. Corrice, 49, of 310 Pine St., Apt. 1, pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony.
Ms. Corrice is facing 2� years in prison for the sale of a bag of what tested positive as cocaine to an undercover field officer in the city April 2, 2012. St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards said the fact that she was a second felony offender would be a factor in her sentencing.
Ms. Corrice also was found guilty of violating the terms of her probation sentence, which Judge Richards said also would require a 2�-year prison sentence. Both sentences would be served concurrently. Ms. Corrice also faces post-release probation supervision of two years on the drug charge and one year on the probation violation; they also would be served concurrently.
Sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 23. Ms. Corrice was sent to St. Lawrence County jail without bail to await sentence.
In other court action Thursday:
Daniel E. Miller, 29, of 78 Spencer St., Gouverneur, was granted entry into the Judicial Diversion Program after pleading guilty to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony. Mr. Miller was charged March 16 with selling heroin in the town of Gouverneur. He was sent to the St. Lawrence County jail without bail awaiting the opening of a bed at Hospitality House, an intensive residential facility in Albany specializing in chronic relapsers and criminal offenders.
Chauncey J. Pray, 23, of 76 Demot St., Hammond, was denied entry into the Judicial Diversion Program on Thursday as the team that reviews applicants decided entering him into the program would create a safety issue for the community and recommended incarceration. This is the second time Mr. Pray has been denied entry into the program.
He was arrested Feb. 13 on charges of third-degree felony robbery and third-degree misdemeanor attempted assault in connection with the Feb. 4 alleged robbery of Keri J. Lasiege, of 215 Belmont Courts, Ogdensburg.
He was sent to county jail without bail pending further court action.
Elizabeth R. Henkel, 22, of Queensbury in Warren County, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony, for an Oct. 11 sale of cocaine in Potsdam and was entered into the JDP. Judge Richards told Ms. Henkel that the court was provided with information that shows signs she may have mental health problems and ordered that she get an evaluation. She was released under probation supervision pending further court action.
Patrick A. Frender, 23, Canton, was denied entry into JDP after pleading not guilty in a June 5 arraignment to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony.
According to indictment documents, Mr. Frender possessed heroin with intent to sell the drug Dec. 11 in the village of Canton. It was suggested by the JDP team to incarcerate him for what it called the safety of the St. Lawrence County community.
Additionally, he has a case pending in Jefferson County Drug Court that played a role in the JDPs team denying him entry.
Mr. Frender was sent to county jail without bail pending further court action.
Paul S. Smith Jr., 33, 1105 Congress St., Ogdensburg, was terminated from his participation from JDP, which he entered into after an Oct. 27, 2011, guilty plea to driving while intoxicated-drugs, a class D felony.
Judge Richards said it was reported that Mr. Smith absconded from the program twice and relapsed and was picked up on a warrant after his second time absconding.
Mr. Smith was sent to the county jail and is scheduled to return to court Aug. 8.
Russell F. Dendler, 24, Massena, was denied entry into JDP after a June 4 not guilty plea to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony. The denial came after no recommendation for treatment was made. Mr. Dendler allegedly possessed heroin with intent to sell the drug in the town of Louisville. No date for that allegation was immediately available. Mr. Dendler was sent to county jail without bail pending further conferences between the district attorneys office and the public defenders office.
Spencer A. Konitsiotis, 35, 40 Beach St., Massena, was denied entry to JDP a second time after Judge Richards said he overturned a March 28 denial.
Mr. Konitsiotis pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal mischief, a class E felony, on May 30, when he requested to enter the drug program. On June 25 he tested positive for cocaine. According to Judge Richards, Mr. Konitsiotis said he must have handled money with cocaine on it, which is why he tested positive.
Judge Richards further said that Mr. Konitsiotis had been in contact with another person on Facebook and the two had posted a series of threats of physical violence against each other that were taken seriously and showed the court and the JDP team that Mr. Konitsiotis still possessed violent tendencies.
Mr. Konitsiotis was sent to the county jail without bail and is scheduled to reappear Aug. 8.

Bernard H. "Bernie" Brown Jr., CEO of Bernier, Carr & Associates, was announced Wednesday as the recipient of the 61st annual Israel A. Shapiro Citizenship Award during a news conference at Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library's rotunda.
Mr. Brown is chief executive officer of the engineering, architecture, land surveying and construction management firm in Watertown, where he's been employed since 1984. He was nominated by Daniel J. Villa, who won the 2008 Shapiro Award.
Mr. Brown spoke at the news conference after his name was announced by Lynn M. Pietroski, CEO and president of the Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce. He said he was shocked when he heard the news Tuesday from Mr. Villa, who called him before he boarded an afternoon plane for Albany at Watertown International Airport.
"I saw the number from Dan, and he started by saying, 'Don't be upset with me, but you've been nominated to receive the Shapiro Award.' I've always had difficulty with receiving awards because I've found them humbling. I was having a hard time with this, but my son, Jacob, told me the award is more about the quality of service than quantity. He said whatever you do, you always give 100 percent."
Mr. Villa was serving as a Watertown City School District board member in 1990 when he met Mr. Brown, who made a presentation about a school project at a meeting. The men soon established a friendship and went on to serve as Boy Scout troop leaders in Watertown for years while their kids grew up. Mr. Brown's expertise in his profession of architecture, combined with his service to the community, have continued to impress Mr. Villa ever since.
"Any time someone had a project that needed to be done in Watertown I would always tell them to call him because I know how much of his free time he gives to the community," he said of Mr. Brown, who is credited with leading the expansion of Bernier, Carr & Associates to the large firm it is today.
Mr. Brown has ceaselessly searched for ways to make the Watertown community better, Mr. Villa said. He's supported an array of youth programs, including the student intern program at BCA, along with career development programs at area high schools and colleges. He spearheaded the launch of a toy program and Bernier, Carr & Associates, and played a pivotal role launching the annual Community Gift and Fund Drive, which is now in its 17th year.
"One of the most important attributes of good citizenship that Bernie emulates is to lead by example; there are so many things he has done, anonymously and without fanfare, to make our community a better place. Good citizenship is a part of his character and who he is as a man; they are inextricable," Mr. Villa said.
As a citizen, Mr. Brown has given back to both his community and country. He served in the Army and was awarded the Medal for Meritorious Service in September 1976. He's a graduate of the Jefferson Leadership Institute and has served as a chairman of the American Heart Association Heart Walk, where he continues to serve as an executive leadership team member. Today, he continues to lead the BCA Relay for Life team, Adopt a Platoon, Hospice Angel Tree and the Jefferson Community College Alumni Scholarship Program.
He's also served as the president of the Northern New York Community Foundation's board of directors and a senior warden of the vestry at Trinity Episcopal Church in Watertown.
The Shapiro Award was established in 1952 by Arnold I. Shapiro to honor the memory of his father, a longtime business leader in the community. Nominees are selected annually based on outstanding citizenship or for outstanding contribution in civic or social welfare activity. A panel of past recipients judges the entries in five categories: outstanding citizenship, achievement, leadership, dedication and motivation.
The award will be presented to Mr. Brown during a dinner at 6 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1290 Arsenal St., hosted by the Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce. Reservations can be made at the Chamber, 1241 Coffeen St., or online at www.watertownny.com.

What Russia censored in March
In March the Russian authorities turned their attentions to online social networks — and the Kremlin proved adept at getting major international companies to comply with its directives: on 15 March Twitter blocked an account that promoted drugs and on 29 March Facebook took down a page called "Suicide School" rather than see its entire network blacklisted. On 25 March, reports surfaced that the ministry of Communications and Mass Media planned to transfer maintenance of the Registry of Banned Sites from communications regulator Roskomnadzor to a third party selected by Roskomnadzor. The ministry proposed changes to the registry; to maintain website owners' information on the register but deny sites owners — as well as hosting and Internet providers — access to […]

NORTHEAST KINGDOM – Controversy is heating up over the possibility of tar sands oil running through Vermont, mirroring the debate over the Keystone Pipeline.
The Portland–Montreal Pipe Line runs through the Northeast Kingdom, from North Troy to Victory Bog, and debate grows over whether it is safe to reverse the flow and allow tar sands oil, also called heavy crude or bitumen, through the pipes.
Rep. David Deen of Westminster introduced a bill, H.27, that would require an Act 250 permit for a new oil pipeline or any changes to an existing oil pipeline other than a repair.
Frank Wilson, the CEO of the Portland Pipe Line Corp., testified in Montpelier last week opposing the bill and calling it discriminatory.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
About 150 women and a couple of men decked out in a myriad of shades of red packed the Jennifer Leavitt Center at the College of Eastern Utah Feb. 21. to learn how to have healthy hearts.
The luncheon sponsored by the Southeastern Utah District Health Department was one of Carbon County's Wear Red Day activities.
While the luncheon was held Feb. 21, around the nation many women participated in activities on Feb.1, the designated Wear Red Day which is a day when Americans nationwide wore red to show their support for women's heart disease awareness. This observance promotes the Red Dress symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in this life-saving awareness movement by showing off a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie, or Red Dress Pin.
Even though it was a little later in the month, the women who attended the luncheon at CEU were not cheated out of hearing what they needed to know to protect themselves and keep themselves healthy.
Keynote speaker Paula F. Julander, a registered nurse and former state senator, shared a personal story that sadly illustrated the onset of heart disease in women. She told the audience about her sister who developed high blood pressure and was advised to do several things including losing weight.
Julander said her sister shed 70 pounds and took her blood pressure medicine, for awhile. However Julander said that after awhile her sister decided she felt so well she needn't worry.
The story had a sad ending when the former senator shared that her sister had suffered a debilitating stroke.
In addition to having a face put on the disease, the participants were sent home with their own goody bag containing among the special gifts such as perfumed powder and tiny pedometers and a book dedicated totally to heart health for women.
