Green crabs from Nova Scotia are the same species as their cousins that already inhabit Maine waters, but are ornerier and angrier, threatening to accelerate harm to the coastal ecosystem by gobbling up soft-shell clams and destroying native eel grass, a researcher said. The docile green crabs shrink from a threat, while the newcomers are more apt to wave their pincers and charge. “What we’re seeing is this insane level of aggressiveness,” said Markus Frederich, a professor at the University of New England. They’re each genetically distinct. The new crab variant that originated in northern Europe is hardier and adapted to colder water than the more docile crab, which originally came from southern Europe. Green crabs, even the docile ones, are considered a scourge that can devour soft-shell and juvenile clams. They can destroy eelgrass that provides a hiding place for juvenile sea creatures. But the Canadian crabs take it to a new level.

One of them, in particular, would jump out of the water in its frenzy to attack.

I introduce my wife as my business partner, explaining (not bragging about) her business acumen. Usually, the professional women only give me eye contact, ignoring her. I make an effort to get some mutual eye contact by giving hints, such as, “She is the financial genius of the two of us.” My On The Tube wife may interject with an appropriate question or statement. No luck. Once they start ignoring her, they just keep on doing it. We both want to walk out or explain it to them point-blank. My wife has no personality issues. She connects easily with people. It is not good for their business and insulting to my wife. I don’t even think this is discrimination. My message to women is: Don’t ignore the woman with a man just because she is a woman. That goes for business and personal relationships. -- Sick of It Dear Sick of It: I’m happy to print your message; I’m just sorry that you have to say it. How incredibly frustrating this must be for your wife. You’ve got the right idea -- dropping hints, continually bringing the focus back to her contributions. But the next time you drop a hint that’s not picked up, be blunt. Say, “Excuse me, but there seems to be some confusion here. My wife and I are equal partners in this business, and you can direct your questions to her, too.” There’s nothing unprofessional about that. Dear Annie: Please offer folks alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. There are some newer organizations that can be very helpful. I highly recommend Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (https:// palgroup.org). PAL offers some very helpful tools and frameworks for understanding and changing the patterns parents can fall into with adult children who are struggling with addiction. Some people do find AA and affiliated groups helpful. But there are other approaches that other people might find more helpful in changing the dynamics in their lives and stop the cycle of life-destroying behaviors. For the addict, there is Refuge Recovery (https://refugerecovery. org), which is Buddhism-based; I can strongly recommend it. There are also the SMART Recovery and LifeRing Secular Recovery programs. I have also had recent experience with finding a recovery coach for my son, who has a diagnosed mental illness and an addiction problem. I wish I had known about this profession long ago.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018: This year you adopt a strong, determined attitude when you focus on any long-term goal. You seem like an unmovable force once you have decided on your path. Your inner circle finds your newfound determination charming. If you are single, you’ll attract an interesting person who is humorous and appreciative, yet is able to DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker say “no” and mean it. Do not commit unless you are 100 percent sure. If you are attached, your sweetie feels as if he or she is just getting to know you again. Schedule more time together. CAPRICORN intrigues you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Your delightful style and willing ways help others move out of a rut. You might become the cheerleader for several friends and associates. Group discussions produce multiple workable ideas. You will likely decide to veer off-course. Tonight: Swap war stories with a SCARY GARY Mark Buford friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You see a situation from a more detached perspective than many people. Others often see no benefit from periods of contempla- tion and thought. You know better and embrace the power of detachment, which you enjoy and indulge in regularly. Tonight: The party goes on and on! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be in a situation where you want to allow others to run the show, to their Crosswords delight. You’ll enjoy sitting back. Visualize more and say very little. You might be pleasantly sur- prised by what someone comes up with. Tonight: DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni Let your mind float from topic to topic. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be questioning details revolving around a key person in your life. Instead of overthinking the matter, let your feelings flow and lead the way. Emotions are some- times more accurate than logical analysis. Tonight: Make it your pleasure to respond to a loved one’s request. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You will feel a lot better later in the day when you look back at how productive you’ve been as of late. Make some special time for just you and a loved one you don’t spend enough time with. This action could cause ear-to- ear smiling. Tonight: Start with a leisurely din- B.C. Mastroianni and Hart ner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You have a unique viewpoint when it comes to handling a key problem. A creative style marks your work and actions in general. Remain open and clear about your choices. Others will listen, though they might not neces- sarily agree. Tonight: Catch up on some sleep if you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might be slow to start. In fact, you might not get started until evening -- but once you do, you move with unusual quickness and certainty. You have the ability to accomplish a lot in very little time. Be reasonable about what you expect, even from yourself. Tonight: Dinner for ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You could be in a position where you want to break away from it all. On some level, your reaction to pressure is part of what causes so many challenging situations. Try to assume a more laissez faire attitude, and you will be a lot happier. Tonight: Head home, then decide. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about. You might feel uneasy about dealing with some difficult interactions with this person. Ask yourself if you can approach the situation differently. Later in the day, communication flourishes. Tonight: Chat the night away. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) HHHH Stay upbeat in how you approach a trying creative venture and the person involved. You might be overly serious in dealing with this person. If you lighten up, the end result could be a lot better. Your positive energy might be needed in various situations. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH If you feel like withdrawing for a little while, give yourself permission to make those feelings valid. You will experience a surge of energy later in the day that could help you make Cryptoquip up for lost time. It is important to have a few calm hours to yourself. Tonight: On top of the world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. A ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe meeting helps you solidify a decision. You might be overly serious about a certain goal. Be willing to listen to others’ concerns; these thoughts need to be honestly valued. Given time, you’ll realize what you desire. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.
