He said damage to the building was limited to the basement. (see MAINE page 3) The fire department received a report from a passing motorist -sometime around 6 p.m. that water from the building was flow- ing onto College .Avenue, Noddin said. "I don't think it had been broken that long," he said, ad- ding that 15 minutes would have been long enough for the base- ment to have been completely filled with water. Terry Randall, UMaine fire department chief, said by 6:45 10 the basement of the building was filled with water. "When we arrived on the scene, there was water running out the cellar windows onto the road," Randall said. He said the UMaine plumbing shop got the water shut off around 10 p.m. .. According to Randall, there was relatively little danger in- volved in the incident because power to the building was out. - "There could have been a problem but the power was out." he said. Ray Thomas of the fire department said he estimated that there was about 40,000 gallons of water in the basement of the I! building before the draining process began. Noddin said further damage to the building was prevented because heat was restored to the building before the water could freeze. "Once we got the water out, the furnace repairmattwas able to get the furnace fired up again." he said. The Orono Fire Department and various plumbers and elec- tricians assisted in the draining and maintenance to the building.

  • Creative Writing
    2018 International Torrance Legacy Creativity Awards Creative Writing Talented young writers were invited to submit their most creative compositions in recognition of the legacy of creativity pioneer E. Paul Torrance. Over the past ten years, the International Torrance Legacy Creative Writing Awards competition has attracted hundreds of young writers who took part in two major categories: poetry and short story. In this year of judging submissions, we were pleased to see evidence of student maturity and growth in writing, in composition as well as in depth of feeling and insight. Student participation represented ages 8-18. Poems and stories were assessed in four age-lev- el categories: ages 8-10, 11-12, 13-15, and 16-18. The themes elicited a wide range of creative compositions—some strikingly original and imaginative. Entries also reflected a rich diversity of ideas and talents expressed by students throughout the United States and other countries, includ- ing Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, and South Korea. A panel of four judges, comprised of teachers, authors, and editors in the Chicago area, evalu- ated the quality of student poems and stories. They were Janet Bartell, Chair; Nancy Messman, Co-Chair; Dorothy Massalski; and Sarah von Fremd. Each used rubrics to critique the poetry and stories, focusing for stories on such criteria as organization, character and plot development, and for poetry, linguistic expressiveness, imagery, originality, and depth. All four judges commended the maturity and creativity evident

Reia Maynard moved her phone so she could see her math book better. Sitting on the bus stop outside of her school, she was one of the only students still on the municipal campus. Two girls were sitting at the far end of the stop, one braiding the other’s hair. One of the boys from math class was playing a video game, his smile practically glowing when the late afternoon sun glinted off his braces. A few others from the accelerated learning track were around, none of them doing much special. The downtown school was chipped brick and faded paint. Door handles had long lost not only their luster but their metal shine all together. Windows were broken. The sidewalk outside was cracked, similar to the adjacent potholes in the road. The smell of garbage and tobacco wafted through the air, along with deep frying and motor oil. The urban haze of sound and scent alike hung around the school like a fog. Reia ignored it as she had become so accustomed to doing. She was focused on two things.

JOHN HUGHES AND NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA SUMMARY My thesis explores debates on the commercial and textual priorities of New Hollywood cinema through examination of the career of John Hughes. I argue that scrutiny of Hughes’ career and the products associated with him expose the inadequacy of established approaches to cinematic authorship and New Hollywood cinema. By mounting a historically grounded investigation of Hughes’ career, his status within the cinema industry, and his work as a commercially successful and agenda-setting filmmaker, I aim to reevaluate existing perspectives on post-1970s mainstream popular U.S.

  • A Novel by Luis Soto-Ortiz (A.K.A
    Of Wanders and Lust A Novel by Luis Soto-Ortiz (a.k.a. Popmartfan) Version 1.0 (Abridged) Dear Reader, I began writing this novel in April 2017. The challenge I imposed on myself was to write a short story or play where the characters are musicians and what they say comes from their own lyrics. I did not know what the plot would be about but nevertheless I embarked on this project with enthusiasm. Eventually some themes came to my mind and I slowly developed them into different scenarios. This project grew to become the short novel that you are about to read. There are many relevant themes in this novel, some of them sad and others uplifting. You will see a group of musicians traveling together to different cities who, despite their different political and religious beliefs, they nevertheless stay together and help each other overcome difficult situations. You will see that the novel has several protagonists (heroes and heroines) which I will let you figure out who they are. You might even identify and relate to some of the characters. Although there are very serious themes that the novel touches upon, there are also many lighthearted moments which I hope will make you laugh or at least bring a smile to your face. I do not mean to insult anyone by the jokes or events depicted in the novel. I am not planning on making any money from this novel because I am using lyrics that are copyrighted. I do hope that by reading this novel you become a better person, someone who is more sensitive and appreciative of cultural, political and gender differences.

The band currently consist s of its three longest-tenured members - Tony Banks (keyboards) and Mike Rutherf ord (bass, guitar) were founding members and Phil Collins (vocals, drums) first joined in 1970. Past members Peter Gabriel (vocals, flute), Steve Hackett (guita r) and Anthony Phillips (guitar), also played major roles in the band in its ear ly years. Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time, with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide.1 In the late 1960s, with the release of their first album, Genesis's music was in itially regarded by the band and the fans as a pop experiment, referring to then -popular melodic pop.2 Then, over the course of a year, (beginning with their se cond album in mid-1970) they quickly evolved into a progressive rock band with t he incorporation of complex song structures and elaborate instrumentation. Their concerts became theatrical experiences with innovative stage design, pyrotechni cs, extravagant costumes and on-stage stories. This second phase was characteris ed by lengthy performances such as the 23 minute "Supper's Ready" and the 1974 c oncept album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. In the late 70's and early 80's th e band's musical direction changed once again, becoming more pop oriented and co mmercially accessible.
