Party-goers in Orono claim police gave no notice when they used pepper spray to disperse a non-violent crowd early Saturday morning. Police are countering with a different version of the story, saying warning was given and they were just doing what needed to be done.
Most adults our age are not property owners. So why should we care about a proposal aimed to cap property taxes in the state of Maine? Tax relief is a good thing, in theory, but will only benefit the citizens of Maine. The problem is the rollbacks on taxes threaten to devastate public services to every municipality in the state.
It’s been a week or so since the assault weapons’ ban was lifted and quietly put away, while much of the public’s eye diverted to other wordly events, hardly paying notice the ban’s non-renewal on Capitol Hill. There was some talk about a ban specifically for Maine, but I don’t believe we’ll be hearing much about that in the future, as the assault weapons’ ban has been proven to be useless and redundant.

Students came back to the University of Maine and were ushered onto campus with a some hotly contested changes. The student population that lives on campus has moved past the hideous dumpsters outside of each respective dorm – we now have discrete, smaller receptacles.
Let’s just get this out of the way right off the bat. “The Forgotten” is certainly forgettable. There, I said it. We can move on now.

After a brief introduction, cast members took to the stage for Penobscot Theatre’s new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula on Friday night. With few seats left vacant in the house it appeared to be a much-anticipated show.
Each of the eight cast members played multiple roles and enacted monologues throughout the show.
Hello and welcome to the first episode of the Metal Guru. Today I am going to be explaining the difference between the multitude of metal genres. What’s that, you say? You thought all metal was just called metal? Well you could not be more wrong. As metal has grown and subdivided, simply calling everything “metal” has become misleading, and so several terms have been coined to separate the different styles of metal from one another.
Saturday night at Ushuaia, rap artist Talib Kweli started his set off on the right foot: He actually showed up. Kweli, on tour to support his new CD, “The Beautiful Struggle,” performed an inspired set for an hour and then spun music for the crowd to dance to for another 30 minutes.
