 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - 21 Sept 06 - Applebaum Ejected
Quote:

Prominent Author Ejected from Museum
By JEREMY CLARIDGE

Award-winning author Skip Applebaum and his entourage were ejected from the Maitland Museum late last evening, authorities say, for "rowdiness and disrupting the experience of other patrons." Applebaum himself admitted the allegations were correct, but said that museum personnel were "making a big deal out of really nothing at all." The museum's administration says it has no plans to file charges with the police.

According to witnesses at the museum, Applebaum and a crew of six or seven companions entered the museum early last evening. "They were in high spirits, and I think they might have been tipping the tankard a little much, if you follow," said Rob Korat, who was also at the museum at the time to meet a dinner companion. "They weren't actually damaging the exhibits or anything, but they were terribly boisterous and didn't seem to be paying any attention to the guides or docents. ... You should have seen the cutting looks they were getting."

Museum officials said that they received a "large number of complaints" about Applebaum's party, but that they gave the group several warnings before politely asking them to leave. "We really had no choice," said junior museum curator Tanya Felter. "We have a policy of encouraging our patrons to respect each other and the quiet, peaceful environment we have created here. ... They were just too loud." She said that the museum did not know Applebaum's identity until afterwards, when the guest book was examined.

Applebaum himself said that the group had simply been "enjoying the wonderful exhibits" at the museum, and said that all of the members of his entourage - said to have included Grace Curate, society heiress and disreputable girl-about-town as well as brilliant young PCAG contender Kay Bedling - had made a good-faith effort to keep quiet and leave others in peace. "I guess if we bothered anyone so much, then I'm sorry," he said. "I'm not convinced, though, that our actions 'undermined the entire basis of museumship in this city' as the officials implied as they removed us from the building."

Applebaum, the author of such benchmark works as the Bryce Prize winning Failure to Conform and Winter Mark-nominated The Idea Race, has also won the Mintz Award for a series of public-domain columns he wrote over the course of 265.

Froghopper Revival

The children's television programme Froghopper, held in fond memory by a generation of adults now in their 30s and 40s, has been picked up by Fraction Media with the intent of modernising the show and airing it again. Froghopper was well-regarded for its efforts to teach strong logic and problem-solving skills in early childhood.

 		Just as a postscript: Skip Applebaum may be related to Hesh Records' Lin Applebaum, and I emailed Kurt (since I couldn't think of anyone better who wasn't dead) to ask about Tanya Felter possibly being Henrik Tanner's current love interest.

(From Anna's posting "The Lunch Date": 'The time flew by unbelievably fast. It even feels like we might be friends again! Do you know Henrik is seeing a woman who works in the Maitland? And he still paints mazes in his spare time. His mazes were always so elegant and beautiful to look upon. He's even promised to make one for my boys!')

 		The Froghopper will strike a chord with UK players of a certain age, the BBC are to show some epidoes of Dangermouse.

Although I don't remember DM being either logical or puzzle solving. Although he would have found the Cube in double quick time.
