Bound By A Common Thread
by Charlie Reitze Unforgettable stories of people who lived off the grid in the backwoods of Maine. To meet these people, I lived out of “Festus,” my Toyota pickup truck and a leaky tent, roamed the state of Maine three times, snowshoed across Grand Lake Matagamon, rode a snowmobile along the mountainous roads of Coburn Gore, canoed eighteen miles up Chesuncook Lake, hiked the mountains of Monson, was backed up to one man’s front door by a vicious, growling, teeth-baring dog in Waldoboro, walked two miles through mosquito-infested swale in Roque Bluffs, and slept on a roofed picnic table during a violent thunderstorm at Chemquasabamticook (Ross) Lake.

Oshust Putting our Constitution back where it belongs: Into the hearts and minds of all Americans, and in the classroom A citizen’s view of a revered document Since its inception, the United States Constitution has been the subject of millions of pages of opinion, interpretation and academic punditry. “The Faultless Imperfection” attempts to present the entirety of the prefacing articles, the original document’s wording and its later amendments. In each section, specific references and individual allowances or prohibitions are discussed – from an average citizen’s viewpoint – without the semantic soliloquies so apparent in all those past tomes produced by those who either seek to restate or reduce this cherished document’s content.

Geeks and Gangsters — A Comic Fable -Play Version
by Rob. Lauer Inspired by the true story of the Cleveland teenagers—Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster—who created Superman, “Geeks & Gangsters” is now available for live performance. Jerry and Joe were typical high school Geeks: the popular kids ignored them, the jocks picked on them and the girls didn’t know they were alive. Brought together by their love of pulp magazines and science fiction (then called scienti-fiction ), they funneled their frustrations as high school outcasts into creating comic characters they dreamed would one day make them famous as comic strip artists. And it was while they were still in high school that they created a character that would become a cultural icon—and the most universally recognized fictional character of the 20th century: Superman! Inspired by the true story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster—the creators of Superman—award-winning playwright...
