Discipline (Four Way Books, 2024), Debra Spark's latest novel was inspired by the life of Walt Kuhn, who introduced Americans to modern art, and also by an infamous east coast boarding school that was forcibly shut down in 2014. The novel twists and turns through the lives of an artist and his wife, a teenager forced to attend a horrifying boarding school, the artist and his wife's lonely daughter after their deaths, and a divorced art appraiser studying the works of the dead artist. Discipline addresses teenagers whose lives are molded by thoughtless adults and women who struggle with loneliness or are taken advantage of by the unscrupulous. It's a coming-of-age story, a mystery about an art theft, but this gorgeous novel is also about family, ambition, and suffering. DEBRA SPARK is the author of five novels, two collections of short stories, and two books of essays on fiction writing. Her most recent books are the novel Unknown Caller and the essay collection And Then Something Happened. With Deborah Joy Corey, she co-edited Breaking Bread, a book of food essays by Maine writers to raise funds for a hunger nonprofit. Her short work has appeared in Agni, AWP Writers' Chronicle, the Boston Globe, the Cincinnati Review, the Chicago Tribune, Epoch, Esquire, Five Points, Food and Wine, Harvard Review, Huffington Post, Maine Magazine, Narrative, New England Travel and Life, the New England Review, the New York Times, Ploughshares, salon.com, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, Yankee, and Yale Alumni Quarterly, among other places. In addition to writing book reviews, fiction, articles, and essays, she spent a decade writing about home, art, and design for Maine Home+Design, Decor Maine, Down East, Dwell, Elysian, Interiors Boston, New England Home, and Yankee. She writes a monthly book review column of French books in English translation for Frenchly.us. She has been the recipient of several awards including Maine's 2017 READ ME series, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, a Bunting Institute fellowship from Radcliffe College, Wisconsin Institute Fellowship, Pushcart Prize, Michigan Literary Fiction Award, and John Zacharis/Ploughshares award for best first book. A graduate of Yale University and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, she is a professor at Colby College and teaches in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. When she's not working, Spark exercises, studies French, spends time with friends and family, bakes gluten-free, and belongs to a cookbook book club. Learn more about your ad choices.

This Day in Maine for Thursday, October 10, 2024.

It's the first International Longshoremen's Association strike since 1977, and it could have major economic impacts for consumers and businesses. JP Morgan estimates the shutdown will cost the U.S. about $5 billion per day.

Shoot us a Text.It's the last day of the month, and we're talking about how a union strike could shut down all the ports on the East Coast and how that could affect the auto industry. Plus, we cover Hertz selling off some of its Chevy Silverado EVs, and a new report that says car thieves aren't interested in EVs.AnnouncementMention hurricane Helene: 3.5 million people are without power and damage is still being assessed as the storm makes its way through Georgia and into the CarolinasUpcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar on Friday October 4 at 2PM - Keep the Ship on Course by Aligning Marketing and Store Processes with Zach Billings of Wikimotive and Billy Goulette of TommyCar Auto GroupUpcoming Travel - ATAE Comms NovShow Notes with links:Port workers from Maine to Texas are preparing for a major strike set to begin early Tuesday, potentially halting container traffic and disrupting industries nationwide. With negotiations at a standstill over wage issues, this strike could cost the U.S. economy up to $5 billion a day.The International Longshoremen's Association represents 45,000 workers across 36 ports and this would be the first coast-wide strike since 1977, impacting essential goods like food, automobiles and automotive parts.Union leader Harold Daggett, known for his fiery rhetoric, has been vocal about the union's demands, warning, "I'll cripple you," as he pushes for significant wage increases and resistance to terminal automation projects.Retailers like Walmart and Costco have pre-imported goods to mitigate disruptions.Steve Hughes, CEO of HCS International, which specializes in automotive sourcing and shipping, criticized the union for "holding the entire country over a barrel,"Some analysts like Todd Caputo worry that this strike, combined with the effects of Hurricane Helene, will create a perfect storm for the retail auto industry.Did you know that we do a daily digest that rounds up all of the automotive news that you need to know each morning? We put a highlight of that in our Daily Pushback email, but the full write-up covers things you might never see in the email. Here's a couple from today's article:Hertz is cutting back on its EV fleet. Just 13 months after announcing a big acquisition of GM's electric vehicles, the rental giant is now offloading Chevy Silverado EVs due to high depreciation and repair costs.Hertz Car Sales has 35 Silverado EV 3WT models listed at around $63,500—about $11,000 off the fleet pricing.High costs and fluctuating demand are forcing Hertz to recalibrate its fleet, but savvy buyers can snag a solid work truck with impressive specs at a discount.If you're in the market for a robust EV truck, Hertz's clearance might be your ticket to savings.

AP correspondent Norman Hall reports a dockworkers strike could shut down East and Gulf ports that handle half of the nation's ship cargo.

On this edition of Dark Outdoors, host Chester Moore welcomes Kylie Low, the host of the Apple Podcasts true crime chart topping podcast Dark Downeast. In this show they discuss some baffling cases of murder and mayhem in the great outdoors. 

This month on Conversations from the Pointed Firs host Peter Neill sits down with Kristie Billings. A wearer of many hats, Kristie is a long-time DJ for ‘Daydream Nation' on the WERU Community Radio in Orland, Maine. From small-town grocery clerk to working in a fish market, owning her own shoe store, being an Arts Educator at a local theater, a lobster fisher, and an antiques seller, Kristie has done it all. Kristie comes from a long line of lovers of the sea: fishermen, clamdiggers, and sardine packers. The ocean is home. She is a poet, a photographer, and a year-round swimmer. She is currently living in Ellsworth, Maine, and a native of Stonington, on Deer Isle in downeast Maine. A great lover of music, art, and life, Kristie is drawn to beauty, even in the ordinary, the mundane and the unnoticed. Her latest book, "Sea Witch: Photographs, Poems and Forget Me Nots from a Mainer Growing Up" (Seaport Books, Nov 2023) is filled with images and words of the sea, nature, folk art, dolls, loss, grief, love, acceptance, rage, music, and life. 

The son of an Italian-American fisherman, Johnny Cavelli is destined for greater things past his home, Granite Island, Maine. When his father is injured during a storm on his high school graduation day, Johnny decides to stay and help in the family business. Acquiring a boat, Johnny assembles a crew of colorful Downeast Mainers and puts to sea. In a story of twists and turns, Johnny makes friends, acquires enemies, and his decisions culminate in "The Seiners." Cherryfield, Maine native Anastasia Marie Cassella brings to life a novel started by her father, which examines the gritty, even cutthroat business of fishing. Written with the flair of Downeast vernacular, "The Seiners" details the work lobster and fishermen face day to day along the coast, battling storms, factory boats, and the uncertainty of whether the catch of the day will get sold. As well, Cassella offers the history of immigrants who brought their skills and experiences to New England as they worked to build better lives for themselves and their families. Cassella is also the author of poetic and literary works, including "The Rogue Bear and Other Short Stories," and the dark "Letter to My Brother." She lives in Jefferson, Maine.

It's a great afternoon here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We're still recovering from the Fourth of July and have a few firey things to say. Strap in and tune out. I think. It's been a weird week for sure. Some people had the whole week off, some people worked every hour. We here on the show were on the clock the whole time. Donna hasn't stopped moving since last Thursday and has the oatmeal to show for it. Cadillac Jack completed the Peachtree Road Race for the first time, and set a record while doing it. Just not exactly the record direction you're thinking. We talk controversy in Country Music and intro the MLB All Star game, where Caddy thinks the Atlanta Braves should run the show. And Donna brings up the very important topic of loneliness and its affect on today's health crisis. Have a thought for it? Let us know. 7704646024. 

On February 6, 1997, 18-year old Bryan Nisenfeld sat in his afternoon literature class at Roger Williams University in Providence, Rhode Island. Bryan was acting differently during class that day, almost despondent. Where he went after class, what the final moments of his life entailed, is still a mystery. He was simply never seen or heard from again. He never returned to the campus or even to his dorm room. His bank account showed no activity. He didn't call home. Roger Williams University did not notify Bryan's family of their son's disappearance for almost a week.Months later, as summer was coming to an end, a family walking along the shore of Hog Island came upon a lone hiking boot. Inside was a wool sock and a severed foot. 2- DNA tests eventually confirmed the remains to be those of Bryan Nisenfeld. What really happened to Bryan Nisenfeld? Whether an accident, a self-made choice, or foul play, Bryan's parents hold steadfast to their belief that more could have been done if only Bryan's disappearance had been reported to police, or to them, and acted upon much sooner. At the very least, maybe they would have some answers.If you have information that could help bring a conclusion to Bryan Nisenfeld's case, please call 877-RI-SOLVE.Shop Sarah Madeira Day with code: DOWNEAST for 20% off your order of unstretched and paper printsView source material and photos for this episode at darkdowneast.comFollow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case, email hello@darkdowneast.comSupport Dark Downeast on Buy Me a CoffeeShop Dark Downeast merch at darkdowneast.com/shop

RHODE ISLAND, 2003: On Christmas morning in 2003, a security guard on the Johnson & Wales Harborside campus in Providence, Rhode Island discovered the body of a young man leaning up against a chain link fence. Fingerprints would later identify the man as 22-year old Roy Weber. Roy was part of a population of men who engaged in street-based sex work in Providence, many of them exchanging sexual acts for money to support their substance use. Almost 20 years later, Roy's homicide is still unsolved. Police have photos of a man they've said could have information about what happened to Roy, and yet no arrests have been made to this day.Richard Holcomb knew Roy Weber, their lives intertwined by their mutual lifestyle at the time. He's now in recovery, and Rich has spent much of his adult life advocating and raising awareness for street-based sex work and helping researchers, health care professionals, and the general public better understand the realities of that life, one that he fell into at a young age.This is the case of Roy Weber, but it's also the story of Richard Holcomb and how he sought recovery and helped reclaim Roy Weber's legacy by helping other men like him. If you have information about the 2003 unsolved homicide of Roy Weber, please contact the Providence Police Department at (401) 272-3121.Watch Invisible, a documentary about male sex work in Providence, RIShop Sarah Madeira Day with code: DOWNEAST for 20% off your order of unstretched and paper printsView source material and photos for this episode at darkdowneast.comFollow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case, email hello@darkdowneast.comSupport Dark Downeast on Buy Me a CoffeeShop Dark Downeast merch at darkdowneast.com/shop

On November 26, 2022, 41-year old Reina Morales Rojas got into a car in East Boston, MA and was later dropped off in nearby Somerville. That's the last time anyone had seen or heard from the mother of two. Though she was reported missing soon after, the public didn't hear anything about Reina's disappearance for almost two months. If activist Lucy Pineda of Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts hadn't stepped in to help bring attention to her case, Reina's family wonders if her story would've ever made the news. Now four months later, Reina still isn't home and information is scarce. Her children and sister in El Salvador await any sign that she is okay, all while fighting for attention on her case.
