Rodent may hold cancerfighting clues

(NY Times) — The laboratory of Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov, a husbandand-wife team of biologists at the University of Rochester, has the feel of a petting zoo.

They maintain colonies of several species of rodents — some familiar, like mice and guinea pigs, and some much more exotic, like blind mole rats from Israel and naked mole rats from East Africa.

Amusing children with furry creatures is not their goal, however. The biology of animals is mysteriously diverse, and lurking within it may be clues to new kinds of medicine. Even the strangest creatures may hold a valuable surprise. And in the latest issue of the journal Nature, Dr. Gorbunova, Dr. Seluanov and their colleagues report a particularly fascinating surprise: Naked mole rats produce a unique compound that appears to block them from getting cancer.

Rochelle Buffenstein, who studies the biology of naked mole rats at the University of Texas Health Science Center, called the discovery

by Dr. Gorbunova and Dr. Seluanov “intriguing and most unexpected.” She is hopeful that the naked mole rat’s secrets may inspire new treatments for cancer.

Dr. Gorbunova and Dr. Seluanov are hopeful as well; they’re now investigating whether the compound can protect mice from cancer. “We think this mechanism could be moved into humans,” Dr. Gorbunova said.

Studying cancer in animals is nothing new, of course.

Scientists regularly test out potential cancer drugs on mice. More recently, however, researchers have started to appreciate the differences among various species.

Obama preparing big effort to curb climate change ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama is preparing a major policy push on climate change, including, for the first time, limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing power plants, as well as expanded renewable energy development on public lands and an accelerated effort on energy efficiency in buildings and equipment, senior officials said Wednesday.

Heather Zichal, the White House coordinator for energy and climate change,

said the president would announce the new policy initiatives in the coming weeks.

Another official said a presidential address outlining the new policy could come as early as next week.

Zichal suggested in her remarks that a central part of the administration’s approach to dealing with climate change would be to use the authority given to the Environmental Protection Agency to address climatealtering pollutants from power plants under

The F.B.I. deemed agents faultless in 150 shootings WASHINGTON (NY Times) — After contradictory stories emerged about an F.B.I. agent’s killing last month of a Chechen man in Orlando, Fla., who was being questioned over ties to the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, the bureau reassured the public that it would clear up the murky episode.

“The F.B.I. takes very seriously any shooting incidents involving our agents, and as such we have an effective, time-tested process for addressing them internally,” a bureau spokesman said.

But if such internal investigations are time-tested, their outcomes are also predictable: from 1993 to early 2011, F.B.I. agents fatally shot about 70 “subjects” and wounded about 80 others — and every one of those episodes

was deemed justified, according to interviews and internal F.B.I. records obtained by The New York Times through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

The last two years have followed the same pattern: an F.B.I. spokesman said that since 2011, there had been no findings of improper intentional shootings.

In most of the shootings, the F.B.I.’s internal investigation was the only official inquiry. In the Orlando case, for example, there have been conflicting accounts about basic facts like whether the Chechen man, Ibragim Todashev, attacked an agent with a knife, was unarmed or was brandishing a metal pole. But Orlando homicide detectives are not independently investigating what happened.

the Clean Air Act. She said that none of the initiatives being considered by the administration required legislative action or new financing from Congress, but any effort to clamp down on power plant emissions is likely to provoke intense opposition in Congress and litigation by industry.

Such regulations would hurt states heavily dependent on cheap power produced from coal and would drive up electricity prices, at least in the short term.

HPV vaccine credited in fall of teenagers’ infection rate (NY Times) — The prevalence of dangerous strains of the human papillomavirus — the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and a principal cause of cervical cancer — has dropped by half among teenage girls in the last decade, a striking measure of success for a vaccine that was introduced only in 2006, federal health officials said on Wednesday.

Infection with the viral strains that cause cancer dropped to 3.6 percent among girls ages 14 to 19 in 2010, from 7.2 percent in 2006, a new study has found. The vaccine protects against strains of the HPV virus that cause 70 percent of cervical cancers.

“These are striking results,” said Thomas R. Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“They should be a wake-up call that we need to increase vaccination rates. The bottom line is this: It is possible to protect the next generation from cancer, and we need to do it.”

The study, published in the June issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, covered the years 2003 to 2010. Its findings were based on a national survey that is conducted every two years and considered the gold standard on health indicators. Government health workers did face-to-face interviews and collected vaginal swab from more than 8,000 girls and women ages 14 to 59 that were sent to the C.D.C. for evaluation.

Launched amid controversy, Elm Terrace housing project touted as success story

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

ment. As we start the New Year, the MSHA board will continue to push the staff to build a larger number of less costly apartments rather than a smaller number of expensive units.

This new focus will help the thousands of homeless and greatly disadvantaged Maine families get off the waiting list and into safe, warm apartments. The new strategy will also be fair to the taxpayers who pay the bills.”

Officials at the time said the Maine State Housing Authority called the developers on projected costs, so the plans were adjusted to reduce the per-unit cost to $265,000 per unit.

When costs were rising, MaineHousing allowed an increase in units and the developer divided three units

A Portland housing project that once was a political football in the midst of a major shakeup at the Maine State Housing Authority opened for a public viewing Wednesday with applause and celebration.

Elm Terrace, a 38-unit apartment building on High Street in Portland, overflowed with dignitaries and guests Wednesday during an event hosted by Community Housing of Maine, the nonprofit organization that oversaw the site’s renovation and development.

The 44,814-square-foot historic renovation of the former Children’s Hospital, with an addition at the corner of Danforth and High streets, began in January 2012 and was completed a year later. Budgeted at $10.1 million, Elm Terrace drew political fire from then-Maine State Treasurer Bruce Poliquin, who challenged its perunit cost while spurring controversial reforms at MaineHousing.

Poliquin argued that Elm Terrace represented government waste through its perunit costs.

“During the past several years, Maine State Housing Authority has funneled federal, state and local tax dollars to finance the construction of 1,100-square-foot low-income apartments costing up to $292,000 each,” Poliquin wrote in a newsletter at the time.

“Scrutiny by the new MSHA board stalled the Elm Terrace units in downtown Portland once budgeted at $314,000 each. In December (2011), the MSHA executive John Ryan, president of Portland-based construction firm Wrightdirector approved the Ryan, walks into the affordable housing complex on High Street called 38 Elm Terrace units Elm Terrace Wednesday for a grand opening celebration.

into several smaller units to bring down the per-unit cost, explained Cullen Ryan, executive director of CHOM, in an interview when site clearing began in early 2012.

This week, the tumultuous past of Suslovic Elm Terrace was acknowledged, but officials expressed feelings of appreciation as well as vindication.

“This is an important project for all of us, and we are very pleased to have met multiple public purposes by helping to create jobs, restoring and rehabilitating an important historic

structure, and providing high quality affordable rental units in a downtown location,” Ryan said in a press release.

“This was a challenging project from an historic preservation standpoint, from a neighborhood impact standpoint, but I think today the results speak for themselves,” District 3 City Councilor Ed Suslovic, member of the city’s Housing and Community Development Committee, said in an interview Wednesday. “We’ve got a critical need for more and more affordable housing in the city of Portland. This to me combines both the best of the old Portland, the historic preservation, with meeting the needs for tomorrow’s Portland which is affordable, workforce housing.” see ELM TERRACE page 16

Turnkey tyranny

“I know everything that is said and done. And thought!” — Emperor Tiberius, Caligula (1979) “...they are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them.” — Edward Snowden (2013) The genius of the American political system is that each administration is significantly worse than the one that preceded it. The effect is historical revisionism in the public mind. Nixon looks downright cuddly next to the abuses of Cheney/Rummy/Bush and company. Now Bush Jr. is starting to look like a civil ––––– libertarian when compared Guest to the current SnoopmeisColumnist ter In Chief. As we plummet toward official Satanism, with a state unrecognizable and patently evil at its core, we can at least cling to the notion that things weren’t as bad as now in some past golden age. Then we can look around and fight amongst each other, assigning blame to the nearest uninformed yahoo, rather than to the high priests of human sacrifice and global misery and destruction.

We now have an utterly exposed fraud of a system unrecognizable as a democracy, but clearly within parameters of what George Orwell conjured up and Hitler before him.

A series of disclosures comes regularly from defective cogs, little technocratic machine parts, which no longer spin as directed. Edward Snowden’s classified leaks are the icing on top of a shit pile so towering as to be visible from orbit. As Snowden warned, “the greatest danger to our freedom and way of life comes from the reasonable fear of omniscient State powers kept in check by nothing more than policy documents.”

That is the modus operandi. Secret memos have replaced debate, law and Constitutionality.

Snowden, a private contractor, a computer systems “analyst” at Booz, Allen and Hamilton, is recently out of a job. But that doesn’t seem to have stopped his employer from rolling forward with the mission, no matter what that mission actually entails.

Buzzfeed reports that Snowden’s old job is open for candidates to apply. So if you’re a hacker with questionable morals and scruples, you are encouraged to take the keys to the kingdom. There you will be able to “wiretap anyone, from YOU or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president...”

Ode to a garden

Our kitchen table sits at the center of our small home, where my seat looks out the large glass sliding door to a view of the back yard garden. That’s tough competition for my basement home office! And so I must ask: given the choice, where would you like to work?

The kitchen table has won out. My beautiful basement office holds my files, scanner and printer. It’s all good: I get my exercise running up and Better with down the stairs to the printer; I keep a watchful eye on my Age garden — when the sunflower’s droop, I know it’s time to take a break to water, reflect, enjoy the landscape and dream. It’s good therapy.

As I take my watering break, I look about: What’s eating the marigold? The geranium needs to be deadheaded. The Morning Glories, tomatoes and cantaloupe have happily volunteered themselves around the landscape. If they’re happy making a comeback; how dare I not let them grow! I move some, and carve out, yet another new space for others.

I recall a time, many years ago, when there was just one hosta, sedum, daylily, and one seed pack of black eyed susan. My dad dug the small garden in the shade of a big fir tree. The garden grew, and my dad told me it was time to separate the plants. Out came the shovel, the hose, and the plant food. A gardener was born. Eventually, the fir tree fell, and it took no time to fill the space.

Each year I grab my shovel and dig up another chunk of lawn. My youngest son is happy: there’s less to mow. My middle son groans: more turf to haul off to the community compost pile! My husband yearns for some space in the garage — which now houses gardening supplies, an upright freezer (for frozen vegetables and soups made from the garden), and, I must not forget to mention, a spot back at the kitchen table.

In recent years, I’ve taken seeds from deadheading; dried them, and planted them the next year.

Between splitting plants and saving seeds, it’s fun to watch the garden grow over the years. The passage of time and memory tells a story in the landscape.

It also connects me to loved ones who have passed away.

Karen Vachon –––––

There’s a social aspect to gardening. Once bit by the gardening bug, other gardeners unite. Everyone has plants to split, and plants to share. Last year, I had so many black eyed susans that I put them at the end of the driveway — free for the taking. I can’t wait for them to come into bloom in the next month around my neighborhood.

I take a break from my work at the kitchen table, and peruse my garden, with cell phone in hand (never too far from my work). The phone rings. A client needs help. I sit on my patio outside in the garden, and reach for my iPad to take notes. I realize that my office has now moved outside! It’s what I call a “May Day” call — one that requires immediate action. I drop everything; get into my car and go to assist. Sitting with my client, I notice dirt under my fingernails. It’s me. It’s my garden. I realize my garden and I are a lot alike. Over the years, we’ve managed to spread out, and find happiness and joy in many spaces. I’m grateful that I can blend my love for gardening with my work. see VACHON page 5

Research proves: There’s peace to be found in birds singing, water flowing, plants growing VACHON from page 4

As for my kitchen table — I, too, dream for a clear table, free from any signs of work. It will come in the fall.

In the meantime, I envision a robust harvest. The number of tomato plants that have volunteered this year has me dreaming of making canned tomato sauce, sundried tomatoes, and maybe even ketchup. I envision, once again, meals shared at the kitchen table; food that came from my garden.

I justify that for my mind, body, and spirit — a hijacked kitchen table will all be worth it. As for my lonely basement office — don’t worry, I’ll see you in the fall.

Research has shown gardening to be great therapy. In her novel, “Shovel it: Nature’s Health Plan,” Eva Shaw, PhD, demonstrates that gardening reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and helps to fight depression. Shaw notes that our relationship to nature is really important. Following 9/11 people flocked to gardens and parks — there’s peace to be found in birds singing, water flowing and plants growing. It shows that life goes on. According to a study done by Kaiser Permanente, the brainwave activity of a gardener mirrors that of a person who prays

or meditates. Shaw points out that when a hospitalized patient merely looks at a painting of a garden, they heal faster, require less pain medication and antidepressants.

Today, caregivers and patients alike are enjoying the benefits of gardening.

For the caregiver, it’s an opportunity to take a break from traditional care giving, and do something pleasurable together. They care for the patient, who in turn nurtures the plant. All types of gardens are being created to make gardening more accessible to people in various stages and situations in life.

The key is to start small. A few years ago I discovered that plastic egg cartons make a great seed starter.

I’ve been collecting these egg cartons ever since (they’re in the garage over the freezer!) Seeds saved from deadheads; a little soil in an egg carton, and you’ve got a mini greenhouse.

This is a good, small project that can be done easily. Where? How about at the kitchen table!

Bicycling law a slap in the face to law-abiding motorists in Maine Editor, Re: LD 1460: So now it’s presumed that a bicyclist, un-licensed, uninsured, un-regulated, un-tested in any way I know about, full of the same road rage, the same human nature as us all, is to have their word be enough to presume guilt of a motor vehicle driver who could just as easily be the victim to a cyclists mis-judgements and or total disregard for the rules of the road- what cyclist is going to admit to breaking the law, to admit, that maybe yes, they did try to get through a space that would have made it less than a 3 foot zone, that they are responsible? and, oh yes, they had just run a red light?

Bicyclists may claim a higher ground but they don’t have it and this piece of legislation is a slap in the face to every licensed, insured, regulated driver who actually studied the laws of the road and took a road test to be certain they could handle it on the road.

We motor vehicle drivers are being crucified by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, whose members regularly run red lights, pass on the right and left and Enter thru Exits and Exit thru Entrances, etc., etc., etc. — and go un

reported because they don’t have a vehicle registration plate.

Cycling is not a sport and someone who chooses it as a means of transportation has to be hyper vigilant as they have little between them and the road- what they do is dangerous but It can not be presumed they are in any way better or more honest than your average driver. Please help us hapless motor vehicle drivers as we are more and more demonized by the bicycling community with no mention of cyclists responsibilities.

I’m sure if videos from around the city were gathered and the habits of cyclists were studied it would show a huge majority do what they have to to get around, and I don’t blame them for that — no one wants to sit in the rain for 2 minutes to wait for a light to change when no one seems to be around, and they don’t — so please, help all users of our roads and register train and mandate insurance for bicyclists.

Just this morning I’m in the right lane at the light to go onto the bridge from South Portland and a bicyclist pulled up next to me, then pulled in in front of me and then, before the light changed, continued thru the red light and almost got crunched by the driver in the left lane next to me as the light did change- in my experience, this is the norm.

various gaudy medals, might ask why some off-the-street computer punk could get hired to wiretap his entire life, and with what oversight or legality? If said punk decides to wiretap high-ranking military officers, what then?

And the President of the United States? And federal judges? What sort of Frankenstein’s worst nightmare has the National Security Agency concocted over there, and in what possible ways do such gaping security holes constitute “national security?”

This is quite the opposite, in fact, a national insecurity on a scale unprecedented in all of human history.

Thanks for letting us know, Snowden, but, you’re still enemy number one to be silenced. Like Manning, and Assange, Kiriakou, Binney and Sibel Edmonds.

You’re not supposed to tell the public. You see, the US government considers the public a hostile force to be propagandized, controlled, manipulated, kept ignorant, persuaded, sold, taxed, recruited or locked up. This is the triumph of “western democracy.”

Not a lot is new here, but the naked illegitimacy of the office of the president is a welcome development indeed. As the buck stops in the Oval Office, perhaps we can begin there with handcuffs and actual warrants for arrest that respect the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment rights of Mr. Obama and company.

“I am not a crook!” said a former crook. But today, the very notion that the president is a crook has been defined out of existence as

a “conspiracy theory” the wild, insane ravings of the lizard cult people awaiting the mother ship.

For it is quite impossible for the president, or anyone else in government, to conspire to break the law. Such a thing goes against the divine. A religious aura surrounds the hallowed grounds of the White House, a place so sacred as to be beyond the worldly temptations of normal mortals.

As no U.S. government official is currently capable of breaking the law, the tin foil adorned crowd must simply be shunned and silenced, ridiculed into irrelevance. Impeachment is another quaint anachronism. After all, there was no sex. No one lied about a dress.

This is simply a policy disagreement. Policy is, in the end, whatever the government decides to have typed up in a memo. This memo’s relevance to the law and to the rights of the citizens has been engineered completely into irrelevance. Memo trumps Constitution. Ask Dianne Feinsetin.

They have a “program” and the program is approved by them — so what’s the problem?

The lunatic conspiracist and enemy of the state Edward Snowden claims, “The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to. There is no public oversight. The result is people like myself have the latitude to go further than they are allowed to.”

Well what does he know, really? “...I can’t in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveil-

Senator Mike Rogers disagrees.

End of story. End of investigation — of the NSA — not of Snowden of course.

Can some rogue leaker take down the illegitimate surveillance state? Doubtful.

Have the people awoken?

Remains to be seen.

Can they do anything about it? Will they? Will they be asleep again by Sweeps Week?

Let me ask you, couch potato man, how many more Edward Snowdens will throw away their careers, their life savings and flee for the rest of their lives in order to save your sorry freedom that you don’t even value yourself?

Why should they? Are you worth it? Are you even on the right side of history? Ignorance, in the hyper-information age, is rather pathetic, don’t you think?

The world of knowledge is at everyone’s fingertips, often 24/7, and yet they actively choose to know very little. They wallow in trivialities and banalities choosing ignorance nine times out of 10. How long can such a people remain free?

Should they?

LePage veto of proposal to expand state’s Medicaid program upheld in House

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Gov. Paul LePage’s veto of legislation, LD 1066, to expand MaineCare was upheld by legislators Wednesday, effectively keeping the state’s bid for Medicaid expansion on hold.

“An Act to Increase Access to Health Coverage and Qualify Maine for Federal Funding” became the focus of political debate as the new Democratic majority in the Maine Legislature clashed with the Republican governor.

On Monday, House Democrats wrote, “Gov. LePage has vetoed a bipartisan compromise LePage to accept federal health care dollars to cover nearly 70,000 Maine people. The measure is expected to save and create 4,500 jobs.

Much needed health care and jobs are stake. We urge Republicans to join us in overriding this senseless veto.”

On Tuesday, House Republicans wrote, “If we had a Democratic governor, Maine would be going down yet another budget-busting rabbit hole where taxpayers get pummeled and big government dependency skyrockets.” Instead, Republicans said, the state should hold the line on its welfare spending.

The House vote was 97-52 Wednesday afternoon, short of the two-thirds needed to override a veto.

As legislators prepared to vote on the veto of Medicaid expansion, Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew issued a statement arguing that fixing the current MaineCare program would be critical to the long-term sustainability of the program.

“We should not consider building on the current Medicaid program,” Mayhew wrote. “Its financial foundation is crumbling and unstable. We must fix the existing program and work with the federal government to create more flexibility, care for prior-

ity populations and to strengthen the financial foundation of this costly and unsustainable program.”

LePage said, “Maine’s Medicaid enrollment has gone from nearly 200,000 people in 2002 to 336,000 today and the total spending in Maine’s welfare program has increased by one billion dollars since 2002. Maine’s previous welfare expansion did not significantly decrease the uninsured in Maine, which numbered 136,000 in 2001 and stood at 133,000 in 2011.”

The Cover Maine Now! Coalition, which supports accepting federal funds to provide health coverage to more Mainers, released a statement after the Maine Legislature failed to override the veto of LD 1066.

“Partisan politics today won out over good public policy. We are disappointed that a minority of lawmakers would refuse access to health care for thousands of hardworking Mainers,” said Sara Gagné-Holmes, executive director of Maine Equal Justice Partners and a leader of the Cover Maine Now! Coalition. “Because of the actions of Gov. LePage and a handful of lawmakers, nearly 70,000 Mainers will suffer unnecessarily as they are denied access to affordable health care.”

The Cover Maine Now! Coalition, which includes more than 85 organizations, was formed to support accepting federal funds that have already been set aside to provide health care coverage to more Maine people.

For a full list of coalition members, visit: http://www.covermainenow.com Americans for Prosperity Maine (http://americansforprosperity.org/ maine), which plans to host a “Don’t Over Tax ME Rally” today at 11 a.m. in the State House Halls of Flags, opposed the Medicaid expansion. Critics of the expansion point to only partial federal funding in later years of the program.

Americans for Prosperity Maine plans to protest the proposed state budget, which the group said includes three more tax increases and few spending cuts. The rally is scheduled to include remarks from LePage.

Abyssinian named to list of endangered sites New designation points to need to save Portland’s historic meeting house

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

A new designation for Portland’s Abyssinian Meeting House that notes the site as one of America’s most endangered could open up new opportunities to complete a restoration project.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation announced Wednesday that the Abyssinian Meeting House has been named to the 2013 list of America’s most endangered historic places. The trust’s announcement coincided with Juneteenth — a holiday that marks the official end of slavery in Texas in 1865.

The trust identifies historically sig-

nificant sites across the country that are at risk of destruction or damage, according to a press release, and the Abyssinian is a case where more funding is needed to restore the building.

“Hopefully, this will lead to many opportunities for the Abyssinian Church,” said Mayor Michael Brennan.

The Abyssinian Meeting House — which was first established in 1828 by freed slaves — was a cultural and spiritual hub for Portland’s early African-American community and also a part of the Underground Railroad system.

During the early 1920s, the building was turned into tenement apartments. The apartments remained in the building until the restoration project began, though many features remain visible in the interior of the meeting house. see LIST page 9

Mayor: ‘This building is an important part of our history’ LIST from page 8

Starting in 1997, the Committee to Restore the Abyssinian Meeting House began its planning process to start the preservation and renovation of the building.

Leonard Cummings, chairman of the Committee to Restore the Abyssinian, said the building withstood the fire of 1886 and is one of the only buildings left standing that refers to that period of Portland in the neighborhood. He said the building speaks to the history of Portland’s African-American community and that story is often overlooked.

“That’s why it’s important to Brennan save the Abyssinian Meeting

Young people to graduate from SEALS-Fit at police department Daily Sun Staff Report

Thirteen area youth will graduate from SEALSFit, a collaboration between the Portland Police Department and the Maine Leadership Institute, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, June 21, at the Police Auditorium, Portland Police Station, 109 Middle St., Portland.

SEALS-Fit, a youth leadership and anti-bullying program, is an intensive seven-week program led by retired Navy SEAL Hans Ruediger with mentors from local, county and state law enforcement agencies, the city reported.

Participants were challenged with demanding physical training and interpersonal skills development. Ranging in age from 15 to 18, participants could be seen on the fitness trail at the Back Cove “learning the spirit of team leadership, embodying the SEALS motto, ‘the only easy day was yesterday,’” a city press release reported.

Maine Leadership Institute was created in 1976, and, according to its website, http://www.mainelit. org, “has bridged two centuries of training leaders in Maine.” The insitute sought to develop an ethical leadership program for young adults in Greater Portland schools and later in schools in inner-city Boston, and from there, to Seeds of Peace.

House,” he said.

The Abyssinian has a critical story to tell about the Underground Railroad and the part Portland played in that route, said Brennan.

“This building is an important part of our history,” he said.

Brent Leggs, of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said the organization has listed more than 240 properties as endangered and only a handful have been destroyed. He said the campaign to save these places is about raising awareness about the buildings and galvanizing public interest.

The project still needs about $3 million for the renovation, programming and staffing, according to Leggs.

Sally Oldham, a trustee of Greater Portland Landmarks, said the designation creates new opportunities to find funding for the project and Landmarks plans to convene people locally, statewide and

nationally to help bolster support for the Abyssinian. “... Much has been accomplished but we still have a long way to go,” said Greg Paxton, executive director of Maine Preservation.

Paxton said it’s time for everyone to help support the efforts to restore the Abyssinian so it’s not lost.

“It’s time for all of us, working together, to finish the job,” he said.

The other sites listed are the Astrodome in Houston, Texas; Chinatown House in Rancho Cucomonga, Calif.; Gay Head Lighthouse in Aquinnah, Mass.; the historic rural schoolhouses of Montana; James River in James City County, Va.; Kake Cannery in Kake, Alaska; Mountain View Black Officers’ Club in Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; San Jose Church in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico; Village of Mariemont in Cincinnati, Ohio; and the Worldport Terminal at JFK Airport in Jamaica, N.Y.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Dismay over unhappiness in family relations will turn into delight when you lend a sympathetic ear and make it clear to a special someone that you’re in their corner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a particular kind of charge to you today, and the emotional impression you make will linger after you’ve left. It’s worth giving some thought to how people will feel because they mingled with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your luck will be uncanny. You’ll wander into the right people at the right time. You’ll be handed opportunity -- and mostly because you ask for it with smiling eyes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 20). This year introduces more love into your life. In July, take what you’re given and run with it, and things quickly will improve. In August, ideals are disrupted when you create something unexpectedly beautiful. An unnecessary purchase seems important, but resist and you’ll attract real wealth in November. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 1, 44, 38 and 50.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some say the iris gets narrower as you get older, but your vista is only increasing. Don’t forget to look up from your day-to-day to scan the horizon of your possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be tempted to wonder “where did I go wrong,” but what you really should be asking is “how did I go right,” because you’re much better off precisely because things didn’t work out as planned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s like the forces are aligning to make you more creative.

Funds or other resources that were previously available may be limited for unforeseen reasons, and this is a blessing in disguise.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll receive the kind of recognition that people strive for, and it will bring the good feeling you expected for a time. Enjoy it and soak it up before everyone goes back to minding their own business.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve spent too much time of late listening to the music of your own thoughts. Open up and engage with the playlists of others’ minds, and discover some new music.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You give people the proper amount of time for their role in your life. For someone who wants to be more important to you, this will not be enough. Now you have a decision to make.

How close do you want to be?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve known places you hadn’t technically visited. When you got there, nothing seemed surprising and you knew the layout. When it happens again today, pay closer attention to what it means.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s like you’re shopping in another country where the numbers on the price tags mean nothing to you because you don’t know the exchange rate. You appreciate the value of things even if you don’t fully understand what they are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you try to find out what the plan is, it becomes clear that there will be no plan unless you come up with one. You’re qualified to be the “man” with the plan.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, June 20, the 171st day of 2013. There are 194 days left in the year. Summer arrives at 10:04 p.m. Pacific time (Friday 1:04 a.m. Eastern time).

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 20, 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state.

On this date: In 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the emblem of the bald eagle.

In 1791, King Louis XVI of France and his family attempted to flee the country in the socalled Flight to Varennes but were caught.

In 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the British throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV. In 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Mass., found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the ax murders of her father and stepmother.

In 1921, U.S. Rep. Alice Mary Robertson, R-Okla., became the first woman to preside over a session of the House of Representatives.

In 1943, race-related rioting erupted in Detroit; federal troops were sent in two days later to quell the violence that resulted in more than 30 deaths.

In 1947, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, apparently at the order of mob associates.

In 1963, the United States and Soviet Union signed an agreement to set up a “hot line” between the two superpowers.

In 1967, boxer Muhammad Ali was convicted in Houston of violating Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted. (Ali’s conviction was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court).

In 1972, three days after the arrest of the Watergate burglars, President Richard Nixon met at the White House with his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman; the secretly made tape recording of this meeting ended up with the notorious 18½minute gap.

In 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed National Bald Eagle Day. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, in Atkins v. Virginia that executing mentally disabled murderers was unconstitutionally cruel.

Ten years ago: Secretary of State Colin Powell met separately with the leaders of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, praising the Israelis for efforts toward an eventual peace settlement and urging speed on the Palestinians. President George W. Bush named Scott McClellan his new press secretary, succeeding Ari Fleischer.

Five years ago: Lightning began sparking more than 2,000 fires across northern and central California, eventually burning over a million acres.

One year ago: A Republican-controlled House committee voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over Justice Department documents related to Operation Fast and Furious. (The full House voted in favor of the contempt citation eight days later.) Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player. Painter and sketch artist LeRoy Neiman, best known for evoking the kinetic energy of the world’s biggest sporting and leisure events with bright quick strokes, died in New York at age 91.

Dear Annie: We often have two delightful boys over to our house to play with our two sons. These boys are teenagers. We’ve known them for years. They are being homeschooled by their very caring mother.

For the first time, the four boys were playing a game that required writing answers and reading them. As I observed them, I could see that the two home- schoolers were having trouble both writing and reading. I finally asked what the problem was, and they said they had never been taught to write in script. These are smart boys, but I worry this could be a real handicap for them in life. Should I talk with their mother or just let it go? -- Feeling Sorry in Vermont Dear Vermont: Fewer and fewer students are learning to read or write in script. With all the keyboards around, penmanship is rarely taught, and script writing has become a lost art. Will it handicap them? Perhaps if they have to read a note from Grandma, but otherwise, it’s unlikely. By the time they are looking for a full-time job, most of their peers will be in the same boat.

Dear Annie: I must take exception to one of your suggestions to “Perplexed,” whose father insisted on hearing his voice every day. I think it is ridiculous to expect adult children to call their parents every day. I am a parent of a wonderful grown son and lovely daughter-in-law. I would NEVER expect them to call me every day. I would never be intrusive and barge in on them without calling first.

Why do we allow family members to treat each other inconsiderately and without respect when we wouldn’t treat others this way? Parents need to respect that their child’s spouse and children come first. The kids might want to call or be with their parents more if it is not such a burden. -Fran

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our oldest son, “Adam,” lives two hours away with his wife, “Eve,” and their three children. One child, “Hayden,” is Eve’s from a prior relationship. She married Adam when the boy was 3. The biological father is irresponsible and alcoholic but loves Hayden and sees him when he can.

Hayden is now 13 and a good student, and he works hard to please his parents. We love and cherish him and consider him our own grandson. But we are heartsick that Adam and Eve seem to single him out for unkind treatment. They take him to task constantly for minor infractions. They fling insults and belittling comments at him. He is scolded for the tone of his voice, his posture, mannerisms and nearly everything he says. His parents sometimes make him stand in a corner. It’s humiliating for him. His siblings are not treated this way.

Hayden is basically a good and decent boy, and his parents seem to resent him. We are worried sick that if this treatment continues, he will rebel, and we won’t like the consequences. Hayden deserves better. Is there anything we can do to help without offending my son? We once brought this up, and they resented our intrusion. We hesitate to take that road again. What can we do? -- Worried Grandparents Dear Grandparents: Belittling, insulting and humiliating one’s child -- at any age -- is angry, inappropriate parenting.

Since your son and his wife do not want your input, we suggest you offer to take Hayden for weekends or over the summer for a couple of weeks (or more) if you can manage it. He and his parents could use a break from one another.

It isn’t a substitute for better parenting, but it will help. You also can suggest to Hayden that he speak to you, his school counselor or favorite teacher whenever he needs to talk.

Musicians organize Fête de la Musique in Portland

By Timothy Gillis

All of Portland gets in tune this Friday, June 21, for Maine’s first-ever Fête de la Musique, a day of musical celebration started in France in 1982.

The day is commemorated in more than 460 cities in 110 countries, including Germany, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Vietnam, the Congo and Cameroon. In Portland, celebrants will ring in Friday’s summer solstice in musical style, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Portland version of the event was founded by three upstart music buffs as a way to join in the worldwide party and showcase the musical talents from the greater Portland area. Robin Lee, Catherine Tanous and Max Mogensen started out with a love of music and an awareness of the day as celebrated in France.

Lee went to grad school at the American University in Paris, where she studied global communications. “It was there that I was first exposed to Fête de la Musique,” she said. “I also went to one in Berlin while traveling, so I was able to get different perspectives on it. I became inspired by it.”

Tanous, who went to school for sports entertainment/events management at Johnson & Wales in Providence, worked with the Denver Make Music event after last year’s inaugural event there. Make Music is the name of the American adaptation of Fête de la Musique.

Mogensen has known Tanous for a long time, he said, and “it seemed like a really interesting project.

It feels so natural in Portland, like it should have been here for a long time.” Mogensen handles the graphics, marketing and publicity for the event.

“We secured a permit for different areas of the city,” Lee said. “Monument Square, Tommy’s Park, Bell Buoy Park, Congress Square Park, Longfellow Square, as well on the waterfront and on sidewalks throughout the Old Port.”

The initial response was a bit tepid, organizers said, perhaps because of the novelty of the celebration here in Portland, but over the past two weeks, interest has spiked with more than 30 musicians playing at several restaurants, clubs, and public parks.

“It’s a great way to bring the community together,” Lee said. “Portland has such a wealth of musicians and artists.”

“We want this to become part of the cultural scene in Portland,” Mogensen said.

Make Music Portland plans to meet with musicians and venue reps a few weeks after the event to help solidify the continuity of it, finding out what worked and what could be improved upon.

There is no fee to attend or participate in Fête de la Musique, and organizers were working on a permit for musicians to be able to sell merchandise during the day. In Paris, New York, and other experienced locales, organizers there form partnerships with cultural foundations to help with associated costs like amplifiers. The Portland event will be unplugged, with musicians depending on their own chords to spread the sound.

“Because we’re new and not a lot is known about event, we’ve done a lot of personal outreach to schools, bands, and so on,” Tanous said.

“Our first point of contact is our friends,” said Lee, adding that they had some stickers made up and, in

the middle of night, went on a sticker bombing campaign and slapped them up all around Portland. “It was a way for us to try to instigate some interest,” she said.

The history of the event stems back to the early 1980s when Maurice Fleuret became Director of Music and Dance in France. “When he discovered, in a 1982 study on the cultural habits of the French, that five million people, one child out of two, played a musical instrument, he began to dream of a way to bring people out on the streets,” according to www.

FetedelaMusique.culture.fr. “And thus, in a few weeks’ time, the Fête de la Musique was launched on June 21, 1982, the day of summer solstice, a pagan night which recalls the ancient tradition of Saint John’s feasts.”

Max Garcia Conover looks forward to Friday as a musical tribute to some of the best aspects of a great city. Conover held a CD release party at Mayo Street Arts, and is the featured artist for this month in “The Deli — New England.” A regular musician in the Old Port scene, Conover will play in Tommy’s Park on Friday, the first day of a five-week tour.

He’s heading all over the Northeast, as far south as Washington, D.C. and as far west as Cleveland, and he thinks this music party is the perfect send-off.

“I’m playing on Saturday in Boston, for their Fête de la Musique,” he said. “It seems like a cool thing — trying to fill a city with music one day of the year.”

His full-length album “Burrow” came out in April.

He said he came to Maine for college and then just stuck around. “For Portland being a pretty small town, it’s got so much high-quality music,” he said.

On Friday, that high-quality music will be ringing out on every local street corner. So grab your guitar and join in the show.

“We want to stress that, although registration has closed, we encourage people to come out and play wherever they like,” Lee said. “Organized chaos and collaboration is integral to the message of the event.”

A crowd gathers for a grand opening at Elm Terrace Wednesday. The historic building at 68 High St. was originally built as an ell to the Mussey Mansion and served as the Children’s Hospital from 1909 to 1948 for the treatment of children with scoliosis, according to Community Housing of Maine, the nonprofit organization that oversaw the site’s renovation and development. The building was later used as the Maine School of Law, and recently several University of Southern Maine centers and administrative offices were located in the building. CHOM converted it to apartments reaching a total of 38 units when combined with the new addition, which includes parking. (DAVID CARKHUFF PHOTO)

Historic site made into housing ELM TERRACE from page 3

Recalling Poliquin’s criticisms, Suslovic said leaders should look at the “big picture” when considering per-unit costs of affordable housing.

“Since the service center communities in the state are cities like Portland, Augusta, Waterville, Lewiston, Biddeford, Saco, the employment hubs — is it in the long run more sustainable economically and environmentally to say, ‘OK, we’re going to build all the affordable housing 40 miles away from these service centers where the land is cheap, where you can build without historic preservation requirements and whatnot’?”

Suslovic said. “Does that really make sense economically with the cost of gas and commuting and where and tear on the roads. I don’t think so.”

The rehabilitation and new construction project at Elm Terrace was certified by the U.S. Green Building Council and achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, Platinum Certification, CHOM reported.

The complex offers six efficiency units, 22 one-bedroom apartments, 10 two-bedroom apartments, a community room, elevator, office and laundry room, CHOM reported. Applicants must income-qualify for occupancy.

The construction was completed

by Portland-based Wright-Ryan Construction. During design and construc-

tion, the project employed as many as 399 workers, CHOM reported.

Construction was completed in January of this year and the apartments were leased quickly, CHOM stated.

Mercy Healthcare System has located its McAuley Residence within the property. The McAuley Residence is a 25-year old unique and comprehensive supportive program for 15 vulnerable individuals (and their children) who have faced significant challenges, CHOM reported. This program was founded by the Sisters of Mercy and is privately funded, the organization noted.

MaineHousing, Boston Capital, the city of Portland and TD Bank provided construction and permanent financing for the project, CHOM reported.

Suslovic said employees in the city want housing that allows them to ride bicycles or the bus to work.

“I was just taking someone around Portland and showing them the vacant lots that will become in that case market rate housing, because we need both,” Suslovic said, referring to the Midtown project in Bayside.

“Things are all moving in the right direction,” Suslovic said.

As for Elm Terrace, Suslovic said its completion offers an exclamation point in the debate over per-unit costs in publicly funded housing.

“The opening of this project is a good rebuttal to those questions,” he said.
