Quote “This is kind of where the PR and marketing come in. You can't assume that people can read your mind and you have to constantly set the stage, reset, set the tone and explain where you're coming from and why you're doing what you're doing. I was thinking about this post that I did on the Maine Maritime Museum social media that was really successful. It was all of the ways you could get free admission to the museum. None of those were new. None of those had been introduced within the last year, but just reminding people of who we are, what we're doing, why we're doing it.” – Amanda Pleau, marketing and communications manager at Maine Maritime Museum Links: Maine Maritime Museum: https://www.mainemaritimemuseum.org/exhibition/seachange/ Down East Magazine: https://downeast.com/ Bull Moose: https://www.bullmoose.com/ University of Southern Maine: https://usm.maine.edu/ Toms of Maine: https://www.tomsofmaine.com/ SeaChange: Darkness and Light in the Gulf of Maine: https://www.mainemaritimemuseum.org/exhibition/seachange/ Gulf of Maine EcoArts: http://www.gulfofmaineecoarts.org/ Roxane Gay: https://roxanegay.com/ Jo Ann Beard: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/117985.Jo_Ann_Beard Libby App: https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby “Mill Town: Reckoning With What Remains” by Kerri Arsenault: https://www.amazon.com/Mill-Town-Reckoning-What-Remains/dp/1250155932 The Mexico Chicken Coop: http://mexicochickencoop.letseat.at/ “Vacationland: True Stories From Painful Beaches” by John Hodgman: https://www.amazon.com/Vacationland-True-Stories-Painful-Beaches/dp/0735224803 Listen to Emma Dimock's episode on The PR Maven® Podcast.

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Jeff Inglis, the Managing Editor for The Portland Phoenix newspaper, in Portland, Maine, on November 13, 2009. This interview occurred 10 days after Maine voters, by a "People's Veto" referendum in a mid-term election, repealed a new same sex marriage law. (NOTE:, same sex marriage later became legalized "again" in Maine by the nationwide US Supreme Court decision of Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015). For all of this, Mark Henkel had written an op-ed about how the law was neither about "Marriage Protection" nor about "Marriage Equality," and he was waiting for whether the statewide daily newspaper (Portland Press Herald / Maine Voices) would publish it. The Portland Press Herald's new owner/CEO and Editor Richard Conner refused to publish it. (That Summer, Conner had replaced the then-terminated previous Editor John Porter. Two years after that, Conner himself, also left the, being accused by the same newspaper for misusing over $530,000 of company funds for his own personal use.) Conner’s refusal thereby opened the opportunity for the weekly newspaper, The Portland Phoenix, to show "the article that the Press Herald was too afraid to publish." The Managing Editor of this weekly newspaper, The Portland Phoenix, loved this idea. In this interview, Mark Henkel exposed the “positive but passive aggressiveness” of The Portland Press Herald's main conservative opinion writer Michael (M.D.) Harmon *who knew of Henkel for the previous 3 years, yet never once allowed Henkel to be reported or to be published), the hypocrisy of the Portland Press Herald’s main liberal opinion writer Bill Nemitz (who directly knew about Mark Henkel with a press kit and yet still acted as if Henkel did not exist, even while writing a story very similar to one of Mark Henkel’s known soundbites), and the outright hateful bigotry of same sex marriage advocate Mary Bonauto (who publicly had made highly bigoted-statements about unrelated consenting adult polygamy, and who also would later be one of the attorneys who presented before the US Supreme Court for the Obergefell v. Hodges Decision of June 26, 2015, that legalized same sex marriage nationwide). Mark Henkel explained how the article offered the solution by which either losing side in the same sex marriage can go forward, save face, and achieve a win for all sides: The Polygamy Rights Win-Win Solution. He explained that, as the politically liberal side had then just lost the "People's Veto" vote 10 days previously, he recommended that they should actually learn from Mark Henkel's arguments to instead "use conservative arguments to persuade conservatives." Mark Henkel provided numerous soundbites and educational points. Also, the interview flow and mood was very friendly, respectful, and even fun with both Henkel and the Managing Editor laughing a number of times - all making this a must-hear interview. The Managing Editor of The Portland Phoenix published Henkel’s article that next week, the one that the Portland Press Herald had been too afraid to publish. This provides another example of how the big Manufactured News Corporations do not report the news, but they instead decide what they will and will not let the public read or even learn about in their media sources. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Jeff Inglis, the Managing Editor for The Portland Phoenix newspaper, in Portland, Maine, on October 29, 2009. This interview occurred during the week before a mid-term election, in which voters in the State of Maine would be voting on a "People's Veto" to repeal the then-recently-passed new same sex marriage law. (It was repealed on November 3, 2009. Even so, same sex marriage later became legalized "again" in Maine by the nationwide US Supreme Court decision of Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015). For all of this, Mark Henkel had written an op-ed about how the law was neither about "Marriage Protection" nor about "Marriage Equality," and he was waiting for whether the statewide daily newspaper (Portland Press Herald / Mane Voices) would carry it. If not, this could be an opportunity for the weekly newspaper, The Portland Phoenix, to show "the article that the Press Herald was too afaid to publish." The Managing Editor loved this idea. This interview with him had many good soundbites, including how the law being voted on was supposed to be all about, "equality for all, equality for all, equality for all - except unrelated consenting adult polygamists." Commenting about the public debate which had aired on local television the night before about the pending "People's Veto" vote, in which the side opposing the repeal (i.e., being for same sex marriage) actually used terms of cruel bigotry when addressing the polygamy question, Mark Henkel explained that the debater's defaulting to false stereotypes of polygamy was as bigoted and offensive as saying that "all gay men want sex with boys." Mark Henkel re-iterated that the "Polygamy Rights Win-Win Solution" to end the marriage debate is "the intellectual solution to end this war" for all sides and stakeholders. Agreeing to speak again two weeks later, the Manageing Editor ended with the following request regarding the status of Mark Henkel's still-unpublished op-ed, "Keep me posted on the thing with the Press Herald. I love that stuff. Let's see how the election goes." http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support
National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Jeff Inglis, the Managing Editor for The Portland Phoenix newspaper, in Portland, Maine, on April 30, 2009. In the previous week, on April 22, 2009, the Maine State Legislature had conducted a Public Hearing on a pending law to legalize same sex marriage. 4,000 people attended this major event, including Mark Henkel who presented his "Neither For Nor Against" Testimony. In this historic speech, Mark Henkel pointed out that which he called as the "Marriage Control" hypocrisies of both the "YES" and "NO" sides at the hearing. Reporters Deirdre Fulton and Emily Parkhurst reported about Mark Henkel's Testimony in the April 30, 2009 issue of the newspaper. The Managing Editor of this weekly newspaper also attended the Public Hearing. He likewise witnessed Mark Henkel's Testimony as the National Polygamy Advocate ™; and, he thereafter also sought a separate interview for a later article to be published on May 13, 2009, titled, "After the Battle - Where will same-sex marriage be in 2010?" Seeking to write this report himself, the Managing Editor was fascinated to learn more of (and to report on) the "Polygamy Rights Win-Win Solution to end the marriage debate" (as was first explained in Mark Henkel's Tesimony at the Public Hearing). He had indeed understood how Mark Henkel's win-win proposal really could be a way that both sides could embrace and even ensure that everyone would be fully free. (NOTE: As a consequence of that Public Hearing, the Maine State Legislature affirmatively voted on May 6, 2009, to become the 5th State to officially codify the legalization of same sex marriage. Even so, later that same year, on November 3, 2009, a Maine "People's Veto" referendum successully repealed that newly passed state law in Maine. Five and half years later after that, though, on June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court decision, Hollingsworth v. Hodges, fully mandated legalized same sex marriage in all 50 of the United States.) This interview was conducted in a professional and genuinely friendly manner - even with both enjoying laughter together. In addition to providing a comprehensive education about UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, the positivity with which this interview was conducted provides an excellent example, in and of itself, of how political liberals and conservatives can and should be able to more successfully discuss issues to solve things together. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

Born and raised on a combination of big city attitude and Midwestern sensibility, Chicago native Shay Stewart-Bouley, also known as Black Girl in Maine (or BGIM), had to learn a bit of Yankee ingenuity when she relocated to Maine in 2002. After a brief foray into education, she brought her socially-minded work from Chicago, where she worked with the homeless, to Maine by working with low-income and at-risk youth in southern Maine. She is currently the executive director of Community Change Inc., a nearly 50-year-old anti-racism organization based in Boston that organizes and educates for racial equity with a specific focus on working with white people. Shay has been blogging since 2008, frequently on matters of social justice and systemic racism, through her Black Girl In Maine website and, in 2011, she won a New England Press Association Award for her writing on race and diversity for the Portland Phoenix. Her writing also has been featured in a variety of Maine and national publications as well as several anthologies. In November 2016, she gave a TEDx talk called “Inequity, Injustice... Infection.” She is graduate of both DePaul University and Antioch University New England, and even though she works in Boston now, she is indeed still BGIM, continuing to reside in Maine. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/radio-guests/shay-stewart-bouley/
