Lighting the fuse At first glance, the growth of the super snooper state revealed this weekend — like one of those giant, hidden funguses that spreads for miles under the forests of upper Michigan — is a striking discovery. But I maintain that there is an inverse correlation between the technical abilities of the government to harvest data and their competence to use it for anything. The salient trend in our government is to become more inept, ineffectual, impotent and feckless, no matter how big the compost heaps of sheer information it manages to pile up.

For spying on your own citizens, the Nazis and the Soviets were way ahead of ––––– us using technology no more Kunstler.com elegant than phone bugs and filing cabinets. Our immersive techno-narcissism vests too much awe in computer magic itself. What would hurt much more — and work much better — is if Americans become a nation of snitches. That’s a possibility, of course, but I attach a low percentage to it because it requires a respect for authority that is just absent here now, and has been eroding steadily

Progress under attack Six months ago many of us were anticipating the winter solstice while considering the effects of the recent presidential election. Some had misunderstood the Mayan culture’s prophecy of a new age beginning; many were predicting the demise of the Republican party and the disarray of the various factions in that party.

Some of us were learning from the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, how unprepared we are to confront the severe weather conditions that have been predicted as a result of our wasteful lifestyles.

Now we are days from the summer solstice and events have transpired to remind observers that our efforts to inprove society are constantly under attack. I am again reminded of the aphorism the cartoonist Walt Kelly attributed to his wide-eyed possum Pogo, “We have met the enemy and they are us.” Those who have pledged to lead to a glorious future instead devolve to partisan bickering and name calling and tiresome examination of trivia while the wheels of greed set in motion a long time ago continue to crush our desire for a better future for the common man.

When the announcement of four or five new destroyers to be

Robert Libby –––––

One Man’s Island built at Bath Iron Works hit the papers last week, the Maine delegation to Washington lined up to be applauded for their efforts to support this industry, this military industrial complex. I saw no comment questioning the need for more destroyers in an arsenal that far exceeds all the arsenals of all the nations of the world. The sequester was a repulsive strategy intended to force compromise between factions in control of our government. However the hundreds of billions of dollars to be spent on military hardware appear ro be unaffected.

I wonder what other purposes could have been found for those billions, what other jobs could have been created to serve the needs of society. Does the world need more destroyers? Do we need other things more? Many analysts consider cyber attack more dangerous than the forces from which a war ship might defend us.

Millions of words have been written since December on the impending enactment of Obamacare. The House of Representatives continue to use a significant portion of the three days a week that the House is in session to send up efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act; the House Budget Committee has passed a budget plan that would repeal it and replace Social Security with a system of vouchers. How might we all be better served if the obstruction were replaced with real service in the interest of the people?

In June we anxiously await the decisions of the Supreme Court and consider the implications on our lives of these pronouncements. The constant battle between civil liberty and collective force will continue.

As the days shorten toward the next solstice, the battle will rage on between the mighty forces of corporate commerce and the hopeful futures of the common people. So it goes.

The government will surely have to make some kind of move around the planet. Too many stresses have built at too many stress-points and a palpable fear judders through the wireless waves that something has to break. Oddly, political cracks appeared this month in two of the least-expected places: Sweden and Turkey. WTF? I wonder a little now if the revelations of Edward J. Snowdon about the American Security apparatus will bring on a wave of street protests in Washington DC on the Fourth of July. Maybe I’m just channeling my own dim memories of 1969, but this historical moment has a similar tingle. We know that the amalgamated gun nuts are already planning what they’ve advertised as an “armed march” across the nation’s capital. Frankly, I’m kind of glad that they’re doing this. The government needs to be reminded that there are already enough small arms loose in America to temper its cloddish excesses. The time is ripe for others to join in a larger Fourth

of July demonstration.

Most satisfying would be a Washington march by college loan debt slaves terminating in a bonfire of the loan contracts on the Ellipse. I keep waiting for the “magic moment” when millions of these poor swindled young grads will send the message thundering through Facebook and Twitter that they are done paying the inflated price for their useless degrees in “marketing” and “gender studies.” Aren’t you amazed that it hasn’t happened yet? (Although the default rate is rising so fast that a general renunciation may be accomplished without public fanfare.)

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if the U.S. government goes after Mr. Snowdon, who is currently on the lam in Hong Kong which, some of you may remember, belongs to China. Does that ever have the potential for a world-class embarrassment? There’s less than a month before America’s big annual birth-

day party, just enough time for this story to build to an explosive climax.

The government will surely have to make some kind of move before then.

Given its recent tendencies to overreach on everything, the government could easily screw the pooch on this.

The 29-year-old Snowdon has the look and demeanor of an all-American hero and it will be interesting to see the reaction if and when federal agents haul him off a plane in handcuffs. What’s more, Snowdon made a clear, concise, and eloquent statement explaining his actions: “The public needs to decide whether these programs and policies are right or wrong,” he said.

You couldn’t put it plainer than that.

self-styled deficit hawks, the monetary hawks — economists, politicians and officials who keep warning that low interest rates will have dire consequences — have, if anything, gotten even more vociferous. It doesn’t seem to matter that the monetary hawks, like the fiscal hawks, have an impressive record of being wrong about everything (where’s that runaway inflation they promised?). They just keep coming back; the arguments change (now they’re warning about asset bubbles), but the policy demand — tighter money and higher interest rates — is always the same. And it’s hard to escape the sense that the Fed is being intimidated into inaction.

The tragedy is that it’s all unnecessary.

Yes, you hear talk about a “new normal” of much higher unemployment, but all the reasons given for this alleged new normal, such as the supposed mismatch between workers’ skills and the demands of the modern economy, fall apart when subjected to careful scrutiny. If Washington would reverse its destructive budget cuts, if the Fed would show the “Rooseveltian resolve” that Ben Bernanke demanded of Japanese officials back when he was an independent economist, we would quickly discover that there’s nothing normal or necessary about mass long-term unemployment.

So here’s my message to policy makers: Where we are is not O.K. Stop shrugging, and do your jobs.

KUNSTLER from page 4

for decades, really ever since Jack Kennedy was gunned down.

Ironically, Barack Obama got where he did because he pretended to be the reincarnation of JFK — a young, dynamic change agent — and it took years to discover that he was a mere bundle of platitudes wrapped in a banana leaf of good intentions, stamped with a sell-by date that, alas, has now passed. His piled-up troubles seem more a matter of inattention than intent — especially his failure to apply the rule of law in banking — and his recent televised attempts to explain himself give off the demoralized vibe of somebody just sadly going through the motions.

Anyway, events are in the driver’s seat, not government officials. We’re in the Koyaanisqatsi zone now — everything is out-of-balance from our financial operations to our geopolitical relations to the state of nature

St. continued throughout the day Monday, as High Street from Congress Street to Deering Street were closed to all traffic, and subject to further traffic restrictions, pending further notice, the city reported.

Monday evening, city officials expected to open a section of High Street to one lane of traffic.

Around 9:30 a.m. Sunday, as the city was gearing up for the Old Port Festival, the facade separated, on the side of the building facing High Street, according to city director of communications Nicole Clegg.

A full review of the entire facade is planned, Clegg said Monday. The cause remains unknown.

An inspector’s approval is required during the repairs, Clegg said.

“We’re certainly working with the business owner so they can address the issues as quickly as possible,” she said.

Operators of the State Theatre told fans Sunday that a concert by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros that night would go on as planned.

Divers search area near Custom House Wharf for missing fisherman Daily Sun Staff Reports Police divers from both Portland and South Portland began searching Portland Harbor Monday in the area of Custom House Wharf after a fisherman was reported missing.

George Manning, 66, was last seen walking down Custom House Wharf toward the fishing vessel Northstar, which was docked at the end of the wharf, according to the Portland Police Department.

Police are conManning cerned because Manning, who lives on the boat, left his cell phone and wallet on board and has not been in contact with fellow crewmembers, according to Portland Police Department.

“The captain of the boat reported he had gone missing,” reported Lt. James Sweatt, with Portland Police Department.

Manning is described as a white male, about 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds. He is balding with a shaved head and mustache. He was last wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and a blue and green Red Sox baseball cap with a shamrock logo, police said.

There we no immediate signs of foul play, Sweatt said, but added, “He was supposed to be at work and he was not there.”

Divers went into the water after a 7:48 a.m. report of a missing person prompted investigators to seek out Manning’s whereabouts.

“We have chased down every place he could be,” Sweatt said Monday afternoon.

Police divers from both Portland and South Portland began searching the harbor in the area of the fishing vessel because of the possibility that Manning might be in the water.

The dive team conducted grid and line searches, but visibility was poor, “it’s by feel almost,” Sweatt said.

Anyone who has information regarding Mr. Manning’s whereabouts or recent activities is asked to call Portland Police at 874-8575.

Police still seeking leads on stabbing on Wharf St. A Friday, June 7 stabbing on Wharf Street remains under investigation police, reported Monday.

A 22-year-old Portland man was found on Wharf Street early Friday morning suffering from multiple stab wounds, police reported. He was discovered by officers around 1:30 a.m. and transported to Maine Medical Center where he was admitted. The man’s injuries were considered serious but not life threatening.

Police are seeking help from anyone

who may have witnessed a disturbance involving the victim. He was wearing a teal colored shirt, tan shorts and dark colored sneakers. The assault occurred in the area between Mark’s Place on Fore Street and Wharf Street, police said. On Monday, Lt. James Sweatt with Portland Police said, “It’s still under investigation, we’re still trying to get more information about what happened.”

Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 874-8533.

Westbrook man sought on warrants fatally shot himself, police report A Westbrook man sought by police for threatening a former girlfriend with a handgun at the Trolley Park located on Riverside Streeet near Forest Avenue around 6:20 a.m.

Thursday, June 6, died the next day from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound, Portland Police reported.

Michael Thurston, 49, of Westbrook was located Friday, June 7, by Westbrook Police and taken to Maine Medical Center where he died from his injuries, police said. Thurston was being sought in connection with multiple arrest warrants stemming from the domestic violence incident in Portland, police said. The victim of the incident sustained injuries from the assault and was treated at the scene, police said.

Teen shot by trooper had hunting rifle, police say A young man from West Paris was recovering Sunday morning from gunshot wounds after being shot by a State Trooper Saturday night, the Maine State Police reported. James Reynolds, 18, was flown by the Lifeflight helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, for emergency treatment, police said.

Reynolds was shot by State Trooper Jason Wing, as the trooper was investigating a report of a suspicious man along the Roy Road in West Paris, according to a press release from the Maine Department of Public Safety.

State Police say Reynolds was armed with a hunting rifle.

Wing has been placed on administrative leave with pay, which is standard State Police procedure following a shooting. A team of investigators from the Maine Attorney General’s Office, assisted by State Police, is investigating the incident and the final report of the shooting is likely to be released in several weeks. The Attorney General’s Office investigates all shootings in Maine involving police officers, the state reported.

Frenchville man dies in fire The State Fire Marshal’s Office reported that a Frenchville man died Monday morning in a fire at his home that he likely set. The victim, Kenneth Clave, 52, was living alone in the house and left several suicide notes, state officials said.

Portland’s history lights up City Hall ABOVE LEFT AND ABOVE: Saturday night kicked off the 40th anniversary of the Old Port Festival with a light display on the facade of City Hall. PaintScaping, a Los Angeles-based company that specializes in 3D projection imaging and technology, provided the landscape lighting designs. The Portland display paid homage to the city. The Saturday evening show marked the first time PaintScaping has done a show in New England and designed one for a city hall building, officials reported. An estimated 2,000 people turned out to witness the repeating light show, as it ran in repeat cycles in the evening hours.

by Lynn Johnston

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may not think of yourself as having more creativity than others, but that’s not the point. It’s the kind of creativity you have that makes you a special artist. Your “art” will surprise people today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t rush into anything today. You haven’t fully absorbed the lessons of your most recent journey yet. Slow down. Collect different options, and resolve to decide at a later date -- for instance, June 15th would be good.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The endpoint of one assignment is the start of another. Work on mastering this part of your work instead of rushing into a “newbie” position on what’s next.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 11). You really have it together this year. You have a clear vision of what you want and a financial plan, too. July brings a professional opportunity. August and September feature family teamwork, and by October, you will have changed your domestic scene considerably.

In 2014, education introduces you to love.

Sagittarius and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 10, 32, 44, 48 and 11.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could make more disciplined choices, but for some reason, you are giving yourself more leeway.

You may feel like you’ve done enough and now it’s your turn to take it easy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a gentle charm and no real agenda. People sense that you don’t need or want anything from them, and it puts them at ease around you. They want to be closer to you and to be included in your world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You believe in constant improvement, but your idea of what’s better may clash with another person’s now. Sometimes tampering with what doesn’t need fixing is called “breaking it.”

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Of course you need nurturing and love, but you prefer it in small doses these days. You are suspicious of anyone who pays too much attention to you now. Also, you cherish your time alone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone has given you a tall order, and it’s quite within your capabilities. But do be careful of what you ask of others. What’s easy for you may seem unreasonable to someone else.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re like a sponge soaking up all the information now.

You’ll learn much about the world and your community and also about what’s on the minds and in the hearts of those near and dear to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a general sense of curiosity, anticipation and excitement even though you’re not sure where it’s coming from or where it’s going. By the end of the day, all will be revealed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Can shoes make you feel clever? Can a beloved T-shirt give you confidence? Maybe it’s the feeling with which you endow an item that gives it power, but today’s events will make a strong case for inherently lucky charms.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The way you care about something will be contagious. Others around you will pick up on your enthusiasm and start to care as much as you do.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, June 11, the 162nd day of 2013. There are 203 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 11, 1963, in one of the most shocking images of the Vietnam War era, a Buddhist monk, Thich Quang Duc (tihk kwang duk), set himself afire on a Saigon street to protest the government of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem (noh deen dyem). (The scene was captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken by Malcolm Browne of The Associated Press.)

On this date: In 1509, England’s King Henry VIII married his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.

In 1770, Captain James Cook, commander of the British ship Endeavour, discovered the Great Barrier Reef off Australia by running onto it.

In 1776, the Continental Congress formed a committee to draft a Declaration of Independence calling for freedom from Britain.

In 1913, football coach Vince Lombardi and opera singer Rise Stevens were born in New York City.

In 1919, Sir Barton won the Belmont Stakes, becoming horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner.

In 1938, Johnny Vander Meer pitched the first of two consecutive no-hitters as he led the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-0 victory over the Boston Bees.

(Four days later, Vander Meer refused to give up a hit to the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost, 6-0.)

In 1942, the United States and the Soviet Union signed a lend-lease agreement to aid the Soviet war effort in World War II. In 1962, three prisoners at Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay staged an escape, leaving the island on a makeshift raft; they were never found or heard from again.

In 1971, the year-and-a-half-long occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay by American Indian activists ended as federal officers evicted the remaining protesters.

In 1977, Seattle Slew won the Belmont Stakes, capturing the Triple Crown.

In 1987, Margaret Thatcher became the first British prime minister in 160 years to win a third consecutive term of office as her Conservatives held onto a reduced majority in Parliament.

Ten years ago: A suicide bomber killed 16 victims in a Jerusalem bus blast; two Israeli rocket strikes against Hamas fugitives killed 11 Palestinians in Gaza City. Pioneering broadcast journalist David Brinkley died in Houston at age 82.

Five years ago: President George W. Bush, during a visit to Germany, raised the possibility of a military strike to thwart Tehran’s presumed nuclear weapons ambitions; Chancellor Angela Merkel joined Bush in urging further sanctions against Iran if it failed to suspend its nuclear enrichment program. For his part, Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Bush a “wicked man.”

One year ago: Testimony began in the trial of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, accusing of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. (Sandusky was later convicted and sentenced to at least 30 years in prison.) Rafael Nadal won his record seventh French Open title, defeating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5. The Los Angeles Kings won their first NHL championship, beating the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My son’s ex-wife has reported him to child protective services six times and to the police for various things she’s invented over the past three years. Due to her false accusations, he has been arrested three times. He has been found innocent of all charges, but she persists.

She charged him with violating a restraining order and appeared in court last week flanked by bodyguards supplied by victim services. This charge was thrown out. My son has never touched her, but she has convinced many people that he is dangerous. She is such a good liar that she actually believes her own stories, which makes her even more convincing.

My son has become so paranoid, he barely leaves his house.

He is so depressed that he can barely function and is unable to work. She is slowly killing him. Is there anything he can do besides continue to defend himself? The lawyers’ costs have become a nightmare for our whole family. There must be something more we can do besides waiting for her next dramatic step. -- Worried Family Members Dear Worried: Your son may need to go on the offensive.

What his ex-wife is doing is harassment, and he should ask his lawyer about suing her. He also can search for a divorce support group in his area or online and get into low-cost therapy for his own well-being. He needs to get his life back.

Dear Annie: My dear friends’ daughter recently married.

When she first got engaged, she announced a small wedding, and I offered to make silk flowers. I do this professionally and had most of the supplies.

Months later, it turned into a huge event. I also was in the middle of a major move. I agonized over finding the exact color and got frustrated when I needed to do more flowers than I had originally planned. I also had to buy additional supplies because what I had in mind wasn’t acceptable to the

bride. Since I had moved, I needed to find new suppliers. I spent hours running around and emailing the bride about her specifications. I knew it was going to cost me hundreds more than I planned, so several months before the actual wedding, I opted out of attending. I was newly unemployed and simply could not afford it. But I found the perfect “bling” that the bride wanted and sent the flowers to her.

I never received so much as a thank you. Her last email was, “Are you still coming?” I refused to answer. Not once did she ask, “How are you?” So Bridezilla had her day, and now my friend is not speaking to me.

Was I wrong not to attend? I told my friend I wasn’t coming. -- The Friend Who Wasn’t There Dear Friend: You are never obligated to attend a wedding unless you are a participant. And your flowers were a lovely gift for which the bride should have thanked you and over which she undoubtedly drove you nuts. However, when the bride asked whether you were coming to the wedding, it was rude of you to ignore her email. Perhaps if you apologize first, the friendship can recover.

Dear Annie: To “Frustrated Daughter-in-Law,” whose mother-in-law doesn’t get out and do things, has it ever occurred to her to ask her mother-in-law to go with her to these places?

I am a widow, and after a lifetime of having someone with you, it is hard to do things by yourself. I prefer having someone I know go with me, but no one wants to be bothered taking me anywhere, so I sit at home. If she would take her mother-in-law to these places, Mom could see how much fun it could be, perhaps make a friend and then take it from there on her own. -- Fort Myers, Fla.

After nearly a decade, Avesta Housing finally reached its goal of creating 100 new housing units in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood with the opening of Pearl Place II. On Monday, Avesta Housing marked the grand opening of Pearl Place II, the latest affordable housing project the group has brought online. The building opened in January and almost all of the 54 apartments are occupied.

Pearl Place II features 54 apartments — 26 one-bedroom units, 17 two-bedroom units and 11 three-bedroom units. The complex offers residents wireless Internet, a community room, laundry facilities, bicycle storage, maintenance services and a resident services coordinator.

Thirty-three of the units are for people

whose income is at or below 50 percent of the area median income, according to a press release, and the remaining 21 units are for people at or below 60 percent of the area median income.

Neal Allen, a member of Avesta’s board of directors, said in 2004, Avesta bought the lot that now houses Pearl Place because it saw the opportunity that existed in Bayside and the city’s efforts to revitalize the neighborhood.

“Avesta very much wanted to be a part of those efforts,” he said.

Mayor Michael Brennan said the completion of Pearl Place II will complement the work that’s being done to revitalize Bayside.

Brennan said Avesta is one of the agencies in the city that can help create a diversity of housing options that can in turn help Portland address the issue of homelessness.

Head of Portland Downtown District resigns

Beitzer cites ‘personal reasons’; waited until after Old Port Festival

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Jan Beitzer, executive director of the Portland Downtown District, has resigned effective Friday, after eight years of overseeing the business improvement district for the downtown area of Portland.

Beitzer said she timed her departure for after the Old Port Festival, the district’s largest event of the year, which took place Sunday.

“I definitely wanted to get through the Old Port Festival which we did with flying colors,” Beitzer

Beitzer

said Monday.

Portland’s Downtown District board accepted her resignation. Both citied “personal reasons” for her departure.

“I’ve truly enjoyed my time here, and I hope everything continues to go forward,” she said.

Beitzer isn’t bowing out early, however. She said she plans to be present for testimony on a proposed ordinance regarding panhandling in street medians Tuesday

night before the Portland Public Safety, Health and Human Services Committee.

Beitzer was “an extraordinary asset/” over the last eight years, executing the district’s mission of maintaining a clean and safe downtown while building and promoting a vibrant business, residential and tourism destination, the district board reported.

The board has begun a search process to find Beitzer’s successor.

“In the meantime, Portland’s Downtown District will continue operations as usual, ensuring that downtown Portland maintains the vitality expected by all Portlanders, Mainers and tourists visiting our wonderful city from around the world,” the district board reported.

Buoyed by light show, Old Port Festival draws banner crowds

In the eight years that Jan Beitzer has been executive director of the Portland Downtown District, she said Monday she couldn’t think of a more successful or well attended Old Port Festival.

The festival, kicked off Saturday night with a PaintScaping show on the façade of Portland City Hall in honor of the festival’s 40th anniversary, attracted more than 25,000 people during its daylong run in the city’s Old Port Sunday.

“It was probably the largest Old Port Festival since I’ve been here, definitely 25,000 plus,” Beitzer said. “What was really interesting is people just kept coming, we had people still selling at 5:15, 5:30.”

Philippe Bergeron, president of Los Angeles-based PaintScaping, used 3D projection mapping tech-

nology to create a slideshow on City Hall, running every 15 minutes, from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday night.

Beitzer estimated 2,000 people saw the show in its repeat showing.

Beitzer said she had seen a similar show, and the district raised money for it in honor of the 40th anniversary.

PaintScaping garnered “nothing but accolades,” Beitzer said, and Bergeron was “thrilled” to bring the technology to Portland.

The Old Port Festival on Sunday benefited from ideal weather sandwiched between rainy days.

“It was a very easy going crowd; maybe because the weather was cooler people loved being there,” Beitzer said.

Three food vendors sold out by 3 p.m., she said,
