  NEWINGTON — Local author and chess master Michael Sullivan will visit Langdon Library on Wednesday, Aug. 13, as a kickoff for the release of his latest book, "Escapade Johnson and the Coffee Shop of the Living Dead."
  
  Sullivan will be at the library at 1 p.m., to read passages of the new book, talk about being an author and answer questions.
  
  "We have a new sponsor, the Keurig Company," Sullivan said."They are the ones who make those coffee machines.We'll have one to make hot chocolate for the kids."
  
  The latest in the Escapade Johnson series has Escapade getting in trouble and being sentenced to work in the coffee shop of the living dead, said Sullivan.
  
  "The book has been delayed almost two years," Sullivan said on Monday.
  ...
  Sullivan has a new publisher, Publishing Works in Exeter.The original plan called for 16 books, but Sullivan said that with all the delays he's had, he isn't sure how many there will be.
  
  The first book, "Escapade Johnson and Mayhem at Mount Moosilake," sent Escapade on the strangest field trip ever.
  
  The third book in the series is due to be released in October.It is titled "Escapade Johnson and the Witches of Belknap County."
  
  As the former library director at the Weeks Public Library in Greenland, Sullivan said it's strange to go into a library as an outsider.
  
  "But libraries are fun, friendly places to be," he said.

  Like Parks and Recreation Director Mike Sullivan, who took the latest pollution readings to the selectmen, we too like dogs and count ourselves among the town's dog owners.

  On Wednesday, July 22, Cape Neddick Beach, three areas along Long Sands Beach, and for the first time ever, Harbor Beach, showed bacteria levels above the Maine Healthy Beaches acceptable limit, according to Parks and Recreation Director Mike Sullivan. Sullivan oversees water quality testing at York's beaches.
  
  The maximum level of enterococci (e-coli) bacteria allowed under Maine Healthy Beaches standards is 104 parts per million. Harbor Beach tested at 86 parts per million on July 15, but on Wednesday, July 22, water samples showed levels of 1,274 parts per million.
  
  On Friday, retest results showed Harbor Beach at 120 parts per million, just over the acceptable limit, said Sullivan. On Tuesday, water samples showed a count of 52 parts per million.
  
  "The science to it all, it could have been the wrong place at the wrong time" said Sullivan.
  ...
  Area adviseries were posted but the beaches remained open and safe for swimming, said Sullivan.
  
  Retest results released Friday showed bacteria levels well within the allowed limits.
  
  Cape Neddick was at 5 parts per million; Long Sands by the bathhouse at 41; Long Sands by the Sun and Surf at 20; and Long Sands at the southern end at 5.
  
  Cape Neddick Beach, "a typical hot spot for us," said Sullivan, tested at 160 parts per million July 22. Long Sands Beach showed e-coli or fecal counts of 213 near the bath house; 254 near the Sun and Surf restaurant; and 122 at the southern end of the beach across from the Sunrise Motel.
  
  The high counts near the bath house should not be construed as a problem with the local plumbing, Sullivan said.
  
  The culprit for the high bacteria counts is record rainfall this spring, he said. Other beaches up and down the Maine coast have the same problem.
  
  "The ground is saturated," he said.

  Parks and Recreation director Michael Sullivan or one of his "designees" would decide when to widen the surfing area.
  
  David Ballou, a surfer and local lawyer who helped Sullivan and Bracy draft the ordinance, said he was "disappointed" selectmen had nixed opening the entire beach "during inclement weather."However, he said, "I think we got mostly what we wanted."

  Mr. Michael Sullivan, library director, storyteller, competitive chess player, and former children's librarian suggests hundreds of books for boys to read this summer that are fun and engaging.Let's make boys lifelong readers!
  
  Boys are in trouble, according to Mr. Michael Sullivan a library director, storyteller, competitive chess player, and former children's librarian."Boys are not reading, at an alarming rate," said Mr. Sullivan.Well, they are reading, but not what parents, teachers, and librarians think they should be.Boys tend towards comic books, action, horror, and science fiction books, and generally anything with pictures or content matter that drives adults crazy.Mr. Sullivan was a guest speaker at an Eastern Suffolk BOCES School Library System (SLS) liaison meeting to discuss practical, proven, and offbeat suggestions on how to turn boys into lifelong readers.
  
  Mr. Michael SullivanLooking back in the life of a boy, when did they like to read, and when did they stop?We lose boys by 5 years old when we expect them to sit upright in a hard chair and the reading experience becomes a chore.Reading was fun to boys when they were read to; reading was fun and engaging when they could lie in bed completely engrossed in the characters and storyline.Mr. Sullivan suggested more than 400 books boys might be interest in like, The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School, Dog Breath!
  ...
  Mr. Sullivan pointed out, "Reading may be the hardest thing we have to do, and we're expected to do it by age eight," so why not let them read what they like.Why make reading an arduous task?
  
  An activity that Mr. Sullivan highlighted during his presentation was his "Literary Lunch".Students are invited to sign-up and visit him on their lunch hour.They eat lunch while he or a guest reader, reads to them.
  ...
  Librarians, Sara Kardasz, Little Flower UFSD and Rachel Kleinberg, Montauk UFSD pose with Michael Sullivan holding an array of books for boys.
  ...
  Mr. Sullivan is holding his new release, Escapade Johnson and Mayhem at Mount MoosilaukeDevelopmentally boys are behind girls in language development and at a very young age the rules change about how we read, where we read, and why we read.Visit Mr. Sullivan at www.talestoldtall.com/booksforboys.He has compiled a list of over 400 books so boys can begin reading and having fun this summer.

  York Parks and Recreation Director Mike Sullivan said he notified the Coast Guard of the problem around Thanksgiving.
  ...
  According to Sullivan, the Coast Guard arrived to repair the malfunctioning light on the morning of Dec. 5.The light was back to its usual crisp brightness by noon that day.
  
  Sullivan said he doesn't know why it took the Coast Guard a week and a half to get around to repairing the problem.
  
  "We called them two times," he said."I guess it was not all that critical."
  
  He went on to say that because of the nature of the lighthouse and the conditions on the island, the light does malfunction from time to time.
  
  "People freak out if the light doesn't work," he said."It will probably happen again.The Coast Guard takes care of it."
  
  In addition to the malfunction of the red beacon, many of the white holiday lights on the lighthouse and keeper's house were disrupted during last week's winter storm.Sullivan explained that the lights are very carefully installed to prevent a hazardous situation.
  
  "The littlest thing will trip the breaker," he said.
