Landry and a companion were tilling the soil of a plot, that Landry said she receives for free because she is an East End resident.

She said she planned to plant a variety of vegetables, including cucumbers, beets, radishes and peas. Cultivating Community, a local nonprofit, created the garden, located next to the Boyd Street Urban Farm.

Daily Sun Staff Report Authorities are investigating the cause of three fires at a recycling drop-off point on Kennebec Street.

For the third time in five days, fire erupted in a large recycling bin — commonly called “silver bullets” — located in the Kennebec Street lot, which the city sold to Federated Properties in Bayside. The Portland Police Department and Portland Fire Department are looking into the cause of the three fires.

The fires, which, according to public services supervisor Craig Pyy, all occurred between the time he arrived to open the lots at 5 a.m. and the time he returned to check on them at 6 a.m. The fires were reported at 5:56 a.m. on Friday, May 24; at 5:46 a.m. on Saturday; and at 5:34 a.m. on Tuesday.

The contents of the large recycling bins were all burned during the incidents, according to the city. The bins are left on the lot for residents to dispose of recyclable material.

All of the containers involved in the fires will need to be repaired, though the city hasn’t gotten an estimate on how much the work will cost.

For 40th anniversary, art and light show to kick off Old Port Festival Daily Sun Staff Reports

To kick off the 40th anniversary of the Old Port Festival, the Portland Downtown District is hosting a 3D art display that will be projected on the facade of city hall Saturday, June 8.

PDD is working with PaintScaping to transform the facade of city hall with a variety of designs, colors and sounds on Saturday, June 8 starting at 8:30 p.m., according to a press release. The free shows will occur every half hour until 10 p.m.

“We’re very excited to bring PaintScaping to downtown Portland for a spectacular lights show in honor of the 40th annual Old Port Festival,” said Jan Beitzer, executive director of Portland’s Downtown District, in a statement. “We look forward to a fun, celebratory weekend to kick off summer in downtown Portland.”

PaintScaping is a Los Angeles based company that specializes in 3D projection imaging and technology, according to a press release, and creates landscape lighting designs that are displayed on ordinary architecture. The Portland display will pay homage to the city.

The Saturday evening show will be the first time PaintScaping has done a show in New England and designed one for a city hall building.

“3D projection mapping, for those who have never seen it live, is always a magical experience. The building comes alive in ways you only see in dreams,” said Philippe Bergeron, president of PaintScaping, in a statement. “For us, the real treat is traveling to

a special place like Portland to transform our first city hall.” For more information, visit www.portlandmaine.com or www.paintscaping.com.

Evening paving planned on Turnpike The Maine Turnpike Authority announced Tuesday that paving work at Exit 42 (Scarborough) and Exit 45 (Maine Mall Road) is set to start again.

Motorists are being advised to seek out and prepare to use alternate routes while the paving upgrades are being done at the two interchanges, according to a press release. The times for the paving work are approximate and are weather dependent.

Occasional ramp closures will take place between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., on the following days: Wednesday, May 29: • The Exit 42 (Scarborough) northbound off-ramp for traffic leaving the Turnpike.

• The Exit 42 (Scarborough) southbound on-ramp for traffic entering the Turnpike.

• The Exit 45 (Maine Mall Road) southbound offramp for traffic leaving the Turnpike.

Thursday, May 30: • The Exit 42 (Scarborough) southbound on-ramp for traffic entering the Turnpike.

• The Exit 45 (Maine Mall Road) southbound offramp for traffic leaving the Turnpike.

• The Exit 45 (Maine Mall Road) northbound offramp for traffic leaving the Turnpike.

Portable electronic message boards are in place near the work areas to alert drivers of the ramp closures. Ramp closures will be coordinated so traffic can enter and exit at Exit 42 or Exit 45 when the similar ramp at Exit 45 or Exit 42 is closed.

––––––––––––– LETTERS TO THE EDITOR –––––––––––––

Synthetic drug not the ‘Spice’ of life Editor, While I’m no stranger to “ghost” writing, I was really flattered when approached by two different people, recently, who had seen that I had more than one “letter to the editor” in the Sun. The first one wanted to know if that meant that I would now be a regular atendee at the Sun’s.

Christmas parties and the other wanting to know if I would write a letter to the editor for them about what we both dub as being “NOT the ‘Spice’ of LIFE.” Having been a Copywriter of 30 and 60 second ads for a small radio station in Maine during the time when we had a real FCC that had meaning and real purpose; and there was such a thing as stringent TRUTH in advertising (and marketing); and during the same time, as an example, that Listerene had been shut down and penalized for misleading and deceptive advertising claiming that it killed the germs that caused colds, I agreed to do it when she told me her one burning question that she wanted to put out there and truly hope to receive an answer to; that being: “if ‘Spice’ is clearly labled as being NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION”, then what is its legitimate purpose for being in the legalized “easy-access” consumer market and how is it that that is all it not only seems to be intended for, but also is obviously all it’s being “used” for?

Certainly not “The ‘Spice’ of LIFE, but of destruction and DEATH.” (As a major contributor to substance abuse, lack of protection to families and unethical hindrance and obstruction to law enforcement) There’s the burning question put out here, for her. I hope to get the time to get back here again, at another time, to expand with some possible answers of my own, including with a call on Diane Russell to abandon her reckless seeking to legalize “recreational” pot and instead take up the effort to “BAN SPICE”, but would hope for the person that asked me to write this letter for them that some of the regular readers of the Sun would provide some answers, for her.

And, for the third and final time of this letter, anyway: “It’s NOT the ‘Spice’ of LIFE”!

Business projections and other inaccuracies One of my favorite server pearls of wisdom is, “If I could predict the restaurant business, I’d be a millionaire.”

That means even though there are ways to predetermine industry trends, the supposed statistics pointing toward either end of the “profitability-o-meter” (“Into the red and out of the black,” as Neil Young would say) are inconsistent at best.

It’s one of the zillion things that keeps the restaurant business interesting.

Restaurant industry trends are based on a variety of factors that are supposed to make mathematical sense in forecasting how busy the next few months, weeks, days and even specific meal periods will be. Most smart restaurateurs and managers keep meticulous records that are usually jotted in cryptic shorthand in the reservation book; on a ripped scrap of paper taped haphazardly to the wall in the office; or in several other places no one will be ever able to find, or think to look. These are notes and observations around what they’re guessing happened last year, what the weather will be on upcoming weekends, when holidays and festivals fall, what happens when we turn the clocks forward or back, if there’s a heavy schedule at Merrill or the State Theater, and so on.

These things are in addition to the obvious method of comparing sales and head counts. I’ve seen many places with flow charts and graphs, all intended to make food and alcohol ordering, and doing the kitchen and front-of-the house schedule a snap. Contrary to all the “what ifs” and basic common sense, these things just don’t always hold true when predicting how busy it’s going to be. In other words, betting on the timing of the financial peaks and pitfalls of the restaurant business would be foolish for a gambler and chalk up a win for the house at Oxford Casino.

Knowing this topic is one of my favorite work things to ponder, the colleagues I repeat the “I’d be a millionaire,” mantra to roll their eyes, sigh semitolerantly and slink away. This is usually seconds before I can launch into all the reasons we should be busy next Friday night (but in reality, won’t be), how

I know we’re going to get slammed with phone reservations ringing off the hook (we don’t), and what a mistake it is to over staff on an upcoming Sunday (as it turns out, it isn’t). Then comes the full blown dissertation explaining why we should or shouldn’t hire, why the weather man is more influential in our business than any advertising campaign (I know a savvy owner who keeps a Farmer’s Almanac is his glove box) and what ––––– moon means for sales and tips.

What It’s a full In reality, there are certain times Like even in our business, when we can bank on big business.

New Year’s Eve is our Black Friday, Valentine’s Day is our Cyber Saturday and we all know a sunny Labor Day Weekend probably means deadsville.

For the most part, the ebb and flow is an intangible reality, which is why the ever unpopular “server-oncall” (Also known as, “way to ruin my friggin’ weekend.”) is so important. In addition to a server-on-call, another dishwater may be summoned if a restaurant gets blindsided by a tour bus of people who wanted lobster rolls instead of hot dogs, and all 110 people switched plans last minute. There’s just no knowing.

The point of the whole thing is the uncertainty of the restaurant business is one thing we can count on. In fact, if I could predict it, I’d be a millionaire.

The Down Low: Now that summer is creeping in parking spots in the Old Port are becoming prime real estate. Carl Lumis, owner of Valet 4 ME is on hand at Zapoteca and 555 (as well as a few other places) offering his locally owned and operated services.

For some, valet parking may seem like big city pretentiousness and against what I like to call Maine sense and sensibilities. However, as the touristas descend, valet parking is a good call and one I think we’ll be seeing more of.

Along with looking for the best deals on food, drink and happy hour specials, I’m also spending a lot of time feeding my spiritual appetite, which has been borderline anorexic as of late. The most satisfying deal I’ve yet to find is at Yogave on Route One in Falmouth.

Customs officer goes the extra mile for Law Enforcement Torch Run Daily Sun Staff Report On Tuesday, June 4, members of Maine law enforcement from Southern Maine will begin their leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Maine, according to Lisa Bird, director of public/media relations for Special Olympics Maine.

Nearly 800 members of law enforcement will participate in this annual run covering the entire state and carrying the Special Olympics Flame of Hope.

The Torch Run is split up by area and will cover 15 legs across the state and will take place June 4 through June 7. The run will culminate at the Special Olympics Maine state summer games at the University of Maine Orono on Friday, June 7 in a final leg run on to campus.

One runner will be going the extra mile, or miles, for this year’s event, Bird noted. Alice LaLiberte, a Customs and Border Patrol Officer from Maine, will be taking vacation time the week of the run and

covering a minimum of 150 miles before joining the final leg on Friday for opening ceremonies at the University of Maine at Orono.

LaLiberte has been a dedicated volunteer and Torch Runner for Special Olympics Maine for 13 years. She has been involved in a variety of fund raising and awareness raising events including waiting tables at local restaurants as part of a TipA-Cop event, raising money for the run itself, selling Harley Raffle tickets, and awarding athletes their medals and ribbons at several Special Olympic Maine competition events.

LaLiberte is hoping that adding this extra-miles run to this year’s Torch Run will help bring an added awareness and hopefully additional donations to Special Olympics Maine, according to the Special Olympics Maine press release. In addition to the extra miles, LaLiberte will also be showing her dedication to the Torch Run and to the Special Olympic Maine athletes by getting a tattoo this week of the

torch … the Special Olympics Flame of Hope.

Laliberte’s run will begin in Bridgton on June 5.

She will run from there to Brunswick. On June 6 she will run from Brunswick to Waterville and on June 7 from Skowhegan to Orono. The remainder of that weekend she will serve as a volunteer at University of Maine at the Special Olympics Maine State Summer Games draping medals and ribbons for the athletes.

The Maine Law Enforcement Torch Run began in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas and in 1982 the idea was brought to Maine. The LETR takes place in all 50 states and 108 countries. It is sponsored by the International Chiefs of Police Association and locally the Maine Chiefs of Police Association. All branches of Maine law enforcement and several military branches, game wardens and others are involved.

OUI checkpoint nets five arrests; impaired drivers nabbed on bridge An OUI checkpoint on the Casco Bay Bridge on Saturday netted five arrests for impaired driving.

The Maine Bureau of Highway Safety’s Regional Impaired Driving Enforcement team partnered with the Portland and South Portland police departments to conduct an OUI checkpoint on the Casco Bay Bridge from 11:15 p.m. Saturday to 1:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to a press release.

During the checkpoint operation, officers stopped more than 300 vehicles and arrested five people for operating under the influence.

Agencies: Woman, 82, dies in apartment house fire in Auburn The State Fire Marshal’s Office says the victim of a Tuesday morning apartment house fire in Auburn is 82-year-old Marilyn Bonney. Her body was found in the kitchen of her first floor apartment on Second Street, state officials reported. Also killed in the fire were the woman’s dog, cat and two birds, officials reported.

A passerby spotted the fire about 3 a.m., state officials said. No one else lived in the two-unit apartment house.

The fire broke out around 2:58 a.m. at 6 Second St. in Auburn, the Auburn Fire Department reported.

Crews responded to and forced entry into the apartment where they located an unconscious female and removed her from the building, but she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene, the fire department reported.

The fire remains under investigation but is not considered suspicious at this time, the Auburn Fire Department reported. Investigators from the Auburn Fire Department, Auburn Police Department, Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office, and City Electrical Division were working to determine a cause.

An ordinance change that will ease the permitted uses in the city’s light industrial zone won the approval of the Planning Board Tuesday.

The Planning Board unanimously approved a series of text amendments related to the city’s light industrial zone — specifically in East Bayside — and what types of accessory uses will be allowed in the area.

Planner Nell Donaldson said there are three major components of the text amendments: The maker’s market concept, allowing temporary events; and permitting studios for artists, crafts people and photographers.

Lastly, the ordinance change would allow for studio space in the light industrial zone for artists, crafts people and photographers.

Donaldson said the ordinance amendments are consistent with the city’s policies and are designed to protect the existing uses in the light industrial zone.

South Sudanese author defies uniformity Portlander pens book about his experiences, lessons from family

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The son of a South Sudanese tribal chief is carrying his positive message of perseverance and survival to Portland area youth, in church talks and community events, and now in a new book.

“Chocolate Boy” relates Antoni Bazia’s journey from an early privileged life with his powerful family in the South Sudan to a more modest existence as a newspaper and cab driver in Portland.

The book, as told to Ann B. Smith, conveys a simple tale with a powerful point, one that Bazia learned early and often from his strict but loving parents. He also credits his grandfather for teaching him that the most important skill in conversation is listening.

The second son, Bazia rebelled in his youth in subtle ways, like dressing differently from his siblings for church one day. Sent to live with a poor family for the summer, Bazia used the seemingly harsh punishment as a way to become stronger in mind and spirit. His parents were concerned he was acting out with no more reason than to cause trouble, but in a series of neatly told episodes, they came to learn his antics were purely motivated.

“If you know me well, you know I am always thinking about the challenges of helping my people from South Sudan,” Bazia said. “About a year ago, I met a retired English teacher, and we began to talk about my philosophy of life. As a result, we have written a book about the experiences I had in my youth in Khartoum that made me the person I am today. Our purpose in writing this book was to share the values that have kept me out of trouble and on the right path for many years. These are the same values I shared with the Lost Boys and which I continue to share with people of all ages that I encounter everyday.”

“Chocolate Boy” relates a Portlander’s journey from an early privileged life with his powerful family in the South Sudan to a more modest existence as a newspaper and cab driver in Portland.

(COURTESY IMAGE)

The Lost Boys is the name given to the more than 20,000 boys displaced and orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War, from 1983 to 2005.

Bazia worked with them in Lancaster, Erie, and Philadelphia, Penn., Washington, D.C., Australian and Canada, speaking in churches, primarily.

“I believe that sharing this philosophy with others is the purpose of my life, so I wrote this book with the help of a friend to spread my message as far as we can,” Bazia said. “I believe so strongly in this message, which God has given me, that I have put all of my life into finding ways to share it. By writing the book, I hope to reach a wider audience because in my travels, I have seen much negativity and hope-

lessness in the world. This needs to be changed.”

A member of the Lou tribe, Bazia has been in the United States, off and on, since 1999.

His older brother was in line to be chief, but died in a car accident at 25 years old.

Growing up, he always felt he was different, but learned “you have to show your family you’re different in a good way.”

When he moved to Maine, he worked delivering newspapers from a car while the rest of Portland slept. He learned the routes in two weeks and worked there for a year before switching to a new job as a cab driver.

“When I worked for the newspaper, I couldn’t sleep,” he said, affecting his philosophical forays, “and I’m a guy who likes to think.”

Bazia met Smith at LearningWorks, where the retired English teacher was working two mornings a week. “Bazia came into the class,” Smith said.

“He wanted the reading and writing more than the verbal skills.”

Smith said all her life she wanted to write a book.

She made several attempts, but “it was always pulp fiction, etc. I’d get halfway through it, and it didn’t mean anything.” She said her preferred genre has always been fiction, but always loosely based on something real. “There’s no such thing as real fiction,” she said.

Inspired by his new teacher, Bazia decided to write the book with her help.

“Sometimes you have a dream and it’s yours,” he said. “But I believe sometimes another person finishes the dream, and you do it together.”

“He said there was a reason why we met,” Smith said. “The cynical American in me said, ‘Aw, you don’t mean that,’ but then I became convinced.”

The incident with the distinct outfit for church serves as a good symbol for his philosophy. He was rebelling against being uniform, both in dress and behavior.

“Samson, from the Congo, is always asking ‘why is he not married?’” Smith said. Bazia answered: “That’s uniform thinking.”

He didn’t rule out the possibility for married life one day, but he said his mission now involves another path.

“I’m the one going to unite the other kids,” he said.

“It’s hard for them to accept the values of their parents.” see next page

Bazia hopes to help them see the power in finding middle ground between their parents’ beliefs and their own behaviors. And he always tries to remember to live that lesson himself.

“I want to be more open with people when dealing with them,” he said, and reflected how his message can reach more people.

“The next step for the book will be translation into French and Arabic,” he said, “but even now, I am thinking about another book, which will explain my philosophy further.”

For the next book, he plans to have as the two main characters two different kids, who meet in a park, perhaps, “or an airport,” Smith suggests. “One kid is deciding which parent to go live with when they divorce.”

“It’s the bones of what’s underneath this book,” Bazia said. “It will be a lot harder to write.”

CHEETA and Project Bazia are looking to attract more participation by youth and adult volunteers. “We will be selling jewelry made from recycled materials, displaying artworks made by CHEETA members, and showcasing performers from both organizations,” Ann B. Smith said. The event will also feature Vista, a group of performing artists from the Acholi tribe. “These local Sudanese kids want to break into rap music, but use clean, positive (not derogatory) rap as their medium,” Smith said.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

in spite of your fear but because of it. Your fear shows you where potential for greatness is hiding. It is a window shade over the window that has the very best view.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re worried about getting tricked by a mirage. Is there something emerging on the horizon, or are you being tricked by the elements? The best way to play it is to keep traveling forward until you know for sure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have it all under control, though you might have to tell your stomach. Feeling a little anxious about the future is a good sign that your plans are the right size for you -- just big enough to challenge and motivate you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 29). You are vivacious, and you’ll live large this year. In matters of love, you look for freedom while someone wants your commitment. You’ll come to a happy arrangement in July. In August, a strong male will influence the action. He may be a mentor, but make your own choices. You have luck with money in September and December. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 12, 39, 41 and 33.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a time to think and a time to act. Today represents the latter. Instead of thinking about life and how it should work, make a move and see how it really does work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel pangs of envy for the frolicking lightness of being that is youth, but you wouldn’t want to go back there. Knowing what you know, there’s too much to love about where you are now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The odds may be against completing the thing you wanted to do with this day, but you’ve never let numbers stop you before, and you’re not about to start now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Society’s definition of what’s acceptable is just not broad enough for you. Because your mind and heart are open, you’ll love deeper and experience greater highs and lows.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you put someone else’s happiness and well-being before your own again and again, it may be because what makes you happiest is being strong enough to take care of those you love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Gossip is dangerous when it’s false and even more dangerous when it’s true. Avoid participating in the rumor mill. Get the real story from the first source or not at all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Desire changes you inside, and it changes the way the outside world feels to you, too. If you want very badly to accomplish something, it won’t feel like work at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You long ago decided to start living the life of your imaginings, but it has taken some time for reality to catch up. Your vision has expanded since then, but don’t forget to celebrate each bit that comes into being when it happens.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are extraordinary. People who hardly know you can see that in you. So can the people who love you, though they’ve come to expect your extraordinary nature, so they no longer act surprised.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Act not

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, May 29, the 149th day of 2013. There are 216 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On May 29, 1913, the ballet “Le Sacre du printemps” (The Rite of Spring), with music by Igor Stravinsky and choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, had its chaotic world premiere in Paris. The D.H. Lawrence novel “Sons and Lovers” was first published by Duckworth & Co. of London, albeit in an expurgated version.

On this date: In 1765, Patrick Henry denounced the Stamp Act before Virginia’s House of Burgesses.

In 1790, Rhode Island became the 13th original colony to ratify the United States Constitution.

In 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state of the union.

In 1912, the ballet “L’Apres-midi d’un Faune” (The Afternoon of a Faun), with music by Claude Debussy, premiered in Paris with Vaslav Nijinsky dancing the title role.

In 1917, the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was born in Brookline, Mass.

In 1932, World War I veterans began arriving in Washington to demand cash bonuses they weren’t scheduled to receive until 1945.

In 1943, Norman Rockwell’s portrait of “Rosie the Riveter” appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post.

In 1953, Mount Everest was conquered as Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tensing Norgay of Nepal became the first climbers to reach the summit.

In 1961, a couple in Paynesville, W.Va., became the first recipients of food stamps under a pilot program created by President John F. Kennedy.

In 1973, Tom Bradley was elected the first black mayor of Los Angeles, defeating incumbent Sam Yorty.

In 1985, 39 people were killed at the European Cup Final in Brussels, Belgium, when rioting broke out and a wall separating British and Italian soccer fans collapsed.

In 1987, a jury in Los Angeles acquitted “Twilight Zone” movie director John Landis and four associates of involuntary manslaughter in the movie-set deaths of actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le and 6-yearold Renee Shin-Yi Chen, who were killed by a falling helicopter.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, in a wide-ranging interview with reporters at the White House, repeated his defense of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, and hinted that relations with France remained scarred over its opposition to the war.

Five years ago: In a crushing blow to Texas’ massive seizure of children from a polygamist sect’s ranch, the state Supreme Court ruled that child welfare officials had overstepped their authority and that the children should go back to their parents. Actor-comedian Harvey Korman, Emmy winner for “The Carol Burnett Show,” died in Los Angeles at age 81.

One year ago: Mitt Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination with a win in the Texas primary. Serena Williams lost in the first round of a major tournament for the first time, falling to Virginie Razzano of France 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 at the French Open.

talk to your doctor about a referral to a marriage counselor.

Dear Annie: My dad is getting remarried on Labor Day weekend. Though I’m happy for him, this will be his third marriage. I went to the last two ceremonies. During his most recent marriage, he put his new family’s needs ahead of those of my siblings and me from the “old marriage.” I’m expecting the same this time around.

Here’s the problem: I have been training for months to run a full marathon that happens to be scheduled the same day as the wedding. I didn’t know about the wedding until after I’d already signed up for the marathon. Although I’d be finished running by the time the ceremony begins, it’s three hours away and a long drive after a physically and emotionally intense event.

My dad says it’s really important to him that I go, and so do my siblings. But I’m turning 30 soon and am weary of Dad’s immaturity. Should I go to both events? Should I put my needs first and not go at all? - Long-Distance Runner Dear Running: We think you should make an effort to go, even if it means arriving late. He’s still your father, and your presence matters to him. And who knows? Maybe the third time’s the charm.

Dear Annie: I’m 73 and have been sending emails for quite awhile. I don’t remember hearing that all caps means shouting. For many of us, finding the “Caps Lock” button is already an accomplishment. The alternatives you suggested to enlarge the lettering is so beyond our abilities, they could have been in a foreign language.

I can’t imagine any seniors getting upset about receiving a letter all in caps, even if it were shouting. Many of us are also hard of hearing. -- N.D. Rose

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 34 years. I changed jobs so I could have better hours and pay and more time with my wife and son. Eighteen months ago, I went on disability due to severe arthritis.

A few years back, I noticed that my wife was coming up with reasons for us not to have sex. She said my work hours kept her up too late, and then she played Internet games all night. A year ago, her father died, and she claims she has to stay with Mom five nights a week. In the past eight months, we’ve had sex twice.

I never forget an occasion and bought her lovely gifts for Valentine’s Day, her birthday and our anniversary. She got me nothing. She could have asked her brother to stay with Mom, but didn’t. I spent my birthday alone, without even a phone call. I spent our anniversary watching her play Internet games, and when we finally got into bed, she pushed me away, telling me to leave her alone. We had a big argument, and she said she doesn’t love me and only stays because of our 30-year-old son. She also said I need her because of her insurance.

Annie, I am afraid I am going to die alone and in pain. I am looking at a bottle of pills, wondering whether I should take them and simply get out of her way. -- Rejected Dear Rejected: Please don’t. Your wife isn’t looking to divorce. The main problem is that she’s no longer interested in sex. She believes (and perhaps rightly) that being around you means she will feel pressured to be intimate.

So she avoids you by spending time online or with Mom. The two of you have decisions to make. Is she willing to have sex on occasion? Are you willing to live without it?

Are there other accommodations you could reach regarding intimacy? Please discuss these issues honestly and openly. If you find it too difficult to start this conversation,

Divided court makes it easier to challenge criminal convictions

By Adam Liptak THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — In a pair of 5-to-4 decisions that divided along ideological lines, the Supreme Court on Tuesday made it easier for inmates to challenge their convictions.

In McQuiggin v. Perkins, No. 12-126, the majority said a one-year filing deadline for prisoners seeking federal review of their state court convictions under a 1996 law may be relaxed if they present compelling evidence of their innocence. The new “miscarriage of justice exception” to the deadline, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the majority, “applies to a severely confined category” — cases in which no reasonable juror aware of the new evidence would have voted to convict the defendant.

The decision did not seem likely to help the prisoner whose case was under review, but the exception it announced drew a barbed dissent from Justice Antonin Scalia, who called the majority opinion “a series of transparent non sequiturs” and “a flagrant breach of the separation of powers.”

The appeal was brought by Floyd Perkins, a Michigan man serving a life sentence for murder. He was convicted based largely on the testimony of Damarr Jones, who said he saw Mr. Perkins stab a third man in the head in 1993 after they left a house party in Flint. The third man, Rodney Henderson, was found dead on a wooded trail.

Mr. Perkins testified that he had parted from the other two men before the killing and later saw his accuser under a streetlight, bloody and agitated.

The jury believed Mr. Jones.

While in prison, Mr. Perkins obtained sworn statements from three people who said they had evidence that Mr. Jones was the actual killer. Their basic con-

tention was that Mr. Jones had taken a bloody pair of orange pants to a dry cleaner the day after the killing.

Though Mr. Perkins obtained the last statement in 2002, he did not ask a federal judge to throw out his conviction until 2008. The judge refused, saying that it had been filed too late, and that the statements were in any event “dubious.”

The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in Cincinnati, reversed the judge’s ruling, saying that Mr. Perkins’s lack of diligence in presenting the new evidence did not matter. Justice Ginsburg said that was not quite right. Diligence, she wrote, was a factor in assessing the reliability of the new evidence.

Justice Ginsburg, even as she said that strong evidence of innocence may be considered at any time, indicated that she did not think much of Mr. Perkins’s efforts. Her opinion returned the case to the Sixth Circuit with instructions to adopt the trial court’s negative assessment of the statements Mr. Perkins had collected “absent cause, which we do not currently see, for the Sixth Circuit to upset that evaluation.” Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined the majority opinion.

In dissent, Justice Scalia wrote that “there is not a whit of precedential support” for the idea that the Supreme Court was entitled to alter the deadline set out in the 1996 law. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Clarence Thomas joined all of the dissent, and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. joined most of it.

Justice Ginsburg dismissed the dissent as “bluster.”

In the second decision issued Tuesday, in Trevino v.

Thaler, No. 11-10189, the same five-justice majority

extended a ruling last year that had allowed prisoners to challenge their state convictions in federal courts based on the argument that their trial lawyers had been ineffective, even though the prisoners had not raised the issue in earlier proceedings.

In the decision last year, in Martinez v. Ryan, a seven-justice majority considered Arizona’s criminal justice system, which required claims of ineffective assistance of counsel to be raised in a separate state post-conviction challenge, in which there is no right to a lawyer, and not in the direct appeal from the conviction, in which there is. The Supreme Court ruled that federal courts may hear challenges to Arizona convictions based on claims of ineffective assistance at trial if the prisoner had no lawyer in the separate proceeding or if that lawyer was also ineffective.

“By deliberately choosing to move trial-ineffectiveness claims outside the direct-appeal process, where counsel is constitutionally guaranteed, the state significantly diminishes prisoners’ ability to file such claims,” Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority in the Martinez decision.

The new case considered Texas’ system, which appears to encourage but not require that such claims be raised in a separate proceeding. Justice Breyer, writing for the majority, said that difference did not matter. “What the Arizona law prohibited by explicit terms,” he wrote, “Texas precludes as a matter of course.”

In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts said the Martinez decision had announced a “crisp limit.”

“But today,” he added, “the court takes all the starch out of its rule with an assortment of adjectives, adverbs and modifying clauses.” Chief Justice Roberts had voted with the majority in Martinez, as had Justice Alito, who joined the chief justice’s dissent Tuesday.

The two dissenters in Martinez, Justices Scalia and Thomas, filed a separate dissent.

In another development Tuesday, in Secretary of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana, No. 12-1039, the court let stand without comment an appeals court ruling blocking an Indiana law that would have withheld Medicaid money from Planned Parenthood because it performs abortions.

Clinton aides become focus of subpoena for Benghazi talking points WASHINGTON — Several top aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former secretary of state, are targets of the latest subpoena for information about the drafting of talking points after the siege last fall on an American compound in Benghazi, Libya.

Representative Darrell Issa, the California Republican who is the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, wrote in a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry that the Obama administration’s refusal to cooperate fully with a House investigation left him “with no alternative but to compel the State Department to produce relevant documents through a subpoena.”

Mr. Issa’s move was the latest effort by Congressional Republicans to increase pressure on the Obama administration as they proceed with a series of investigations into two controversies that have ensnared the White House: the handling of the Benghazi attacks and the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups that sought tax-exempt status.

Through hearings on Capitol Hill and other requests for documents, e-mails and other correspondence inside the executive branch, Republicans have sought to determine what Mrs. Clinton knew about Benghazi and whether she might have played a larger role than acknowledged in the administration’s response.

Congress Square Park rally

5 p.m. The Social Welfare Action Alliance (SWAA) will hold a rally at City Hall, Portland to conduct an auction for Portland’s City Hall prior to the City Council HCDC Meeting on Congress Square Park that evening. “SWAA, a group of social workers, students, and consumers opposes the privatization of city park land, and the proposed gift or lease to the multinational company WestinStarwood Hotel Corporation. It also opposes the classist attack on the people who congregate around Congress Square Park, an attack led by groups such as the Portland Press Herald and the Downtown. The auction of City Hall is meant to illustrate that the people who congregate at the building are no better than Portlanders who congregate elsewhere and that if privatization is entertained a far greater profit would be made by selling or leasing the historic City Hall building than the lease of Congress Square Park.” Contacts: Jenna Nunziato jennanunziato@gmail.com or David Wagner wagner@ usm.maine.edu

Film: ‘The Source Family’

7:30 p.m. “The Source Family was a radical experiment in ‘70s utopian living. Their outlandish style, popular health food restaurant, rock band and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip; but their outsider ideals and the unconventional behavior of their spiritual leader, Father Yod, caused controversy with local authorities. They fled to Hawaii, leading to their dramatic demise. Years later, former family members surface and the rock band reforms, revealing how their time with Father Yod shaped their lives in the most unexpected ways. ‘The Source Family’ provides an intimate, insider’s view of this incredible group of people through their own archival photos, home movies and audio recordings, and through contemporary interviews with members of the family. Serving as a highly personal guide to the counter-culture movement of the early ‘70s, the film is inspired by the cult-classic book ‘The Source: The Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family’ (Process Media) which was written by Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian and edited by director Jodi Wille.” SPACE Gallery, 538 Congress St., Portland. 828.5600.

The Maine Civic Hack Day (or days as the case may be) will include sister events in Bangor and Portland, and aims to create a state-wide platform for applying new technology to local, social problems. In Portland, participants gathering at Peloton Labs will use their diverse expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to address problems posed by civic leaders, municipal agencies, and community members. They will create prototype solutions by applying their knowledge of engineering, software, hardware, and design.” Register at http://hackportland.org see next page
