New England fishermen sentenced in complex herring fraud case
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Several commercial fishermen in New England have been sentenced in a fraud scheme that centered on a critically important species of bait fish and that prosecutors described as complex and wide-ranging. Prosecutors say the fishermen were sentenced for “knowingly subverting commercial fishing reporting requirements” in a scheme involving Atlantic herring, prosecutors said in a statement. The defendants included owners, captains and crew members of the Western Sea, a ship that operates out of Maine. Prosecutors say Western Sea owner Glenn Robbins pleaded guilty in March to submitting false information to the federal government regarding catch and sale of Atlantic herring and a failure to pay taxes.

Maine Neighbor Charges Parking Fee for Guests at Neighborhood Wedding
We all seem to have that one neighbor, or at least it seems like we do. A neighbor that we just have some unknown friction with due to conflicting personalities, different views, or simply just not understanding each other. But ideally, we keep the peace because, well, no one wants to turn what is hopefully a home full of peace into absolute chaos.
What It Takes to Audition for the Portland Symphony
In Friday’s (7/12) Portland Press Herald (Maine), Megan Gray writes, “Cellist Brent Selbey recently stepped into the position of principal cellist with the Portland Symphony Orchestra…. [A] long day in April was an audition to be the principal cello …The hours-long process is competitive and secretive, guided by industry standards meant to reduce bias and closely guarded by the orchestra’s leaders. In Portland, every round is conducted blind, which means the audition committee never sees the candidates and judges them by sound alone…. Selby, 37, … auditioned in Portland for the first time two years ago and got the assistant principal position, [eventually] subbing as principal for months…. He didn’t automatically get the job when it officially opened. In fact, the whole process is designed so that all 20 applicants would have the same chance. Caen Thomason-Redus is the vice president of inclusion and learning at the League of American Orchestras, which has developed recommendations to increase equity and diversity in a predominantly white field. Data shows that men and women have nearly equal representation in orchestras today. However, representation of Black and Latino musicians still lags, a problem that Thomason-Redus said needs to be addressed in part with wider access to music education and training…. Selby officially played his first concert as principal June 18.”
Analyzing ‘Reunion: Coda’ Manuscript with Copilot AI
Midday/Early Afternoon, Monday, July 15, 2024, Madison, New Hampshire. Hi, everyone. I’m off to a late start on this first day of the new workweek. I overslept this morning; I wanted to wake up around 7 AM to stick to my schedule (have breakfast, write my blog post before noon, take my two-hour midday break, then work on my novel for four hours). Instead, thanks to a 3 AM wakeup that disrupted an otherwise good night’s sleep for nearly an hour, I got out of bed at 8:40 AM.
