Panda found through social media

(NY Times) — In the nation’s capital, Rusty the red panda, who disappeared from the National Zoo, hijacked the news cycle on Monday.

To help find Rusty, a raccoon-sized mammal with a striped tail and moonshaped face, the zoo turned to social media, and suddenly half of official Washington broke from Serious Events to tune in to the saga of the runaway panda.

On Twitter and Facebook, the hunt for 11-monthold Rusty, which the zoo acquired three weeks ago as a partner to a female panda named Shama, exploded in a mix of concern, humor and, this being Washington, the goring of political oxen.

The zoo announced Rusty’s disappearance to its thousands of Twitter followers in a message at 11:51 a.m, which was retweeted nearly 3,000 times in an hour.

At midday, mentions of “Rusty” on Twitter nearly equaled those of “Obama.”

ABC News started a blog with “live coverage” of the search.

Once again, social media proved itself a powerful dragnet. Around 1:15 p.m., a Washingtonian posted a picture on Twitter of Rusty in a patch of weeds in the Adams Morgan district, not far from the 163-acre zoo, which was created in 1889 by an act of Congress. “Red panda in our neighborhood,” wrote Ashley Foughty, who identified herself as a singer, actress and traveler. “Please come save him!”

For women in Weiner scandal, indignity lingers ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

(NY Times) — Customers taunt Lisa Weiss. “Talk dirty to me,” they joke. “We know you like it.” Colleagues refuse to speak with her. Strangers mock her in nasty online messages.

Anthony D. Weiner’s improbable campaign for mayor of New York City is a wager that voters have made peace with his lewd online behavior, a subject he has largely left behind as he roils the race with his aggressive debating style and atten-

tion-getting policy proposals.

But for the women who were on the other end of Weiner’s sexually explicit conversations and photographs, his candidacy is an unwanted reminder of a scandal that has upended their lives in ways big and small, cutting short careers, disrupting educations and damaging reputations.

“I cannot tell you the devastation,” said Weiss, a 42-year-old blackjack dealer in Nevada who exchanged dozens of explicit

messages with Weiner, then a congressman, in 2010 and 2011.

Weiss, a die-hard Democrat who once volunteered for Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign and was inspired by “Fahrenheit 9/11,” a film critique of the Bush administration, said she reached out to Weiner after watching him joust with Republican rivals on cable news. They traded admiring messages on Facebook that, at his prompting, became intimate and raunchy, she said.

U.S. rebukes China, Russia Justices send affirmative and Ecuador over Snowden action case to lower court

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — An increasingly frustrated Obama administration escalated its criticism on Monday of Russia, China and Ecuador, the countries that appeared to be protecting Edward J. Snowden, the fugitive former government contractor wanted for leaking classified documents, who has eluded what has become a global American manhunt.

The White House spokesman, Jay Carney, told reporters that relations with China had suffered a setback over its apparent role in approving a decision on Sunday by Hong Kong to let Snowden board a flight to Moscow and avoid arrest — even though his

passport had been revoked. Carney also warned the Russian authorities that they should expel Snowden into American custody.

Snowden, 30, a former National Security Agency contractor whose leaks about American surveillance activities have captivated world attention, had apparently been set to board a flight from Moscow to Havana on Monday as part of an effort to seek political asylum in Ecuador, which has provided him with special travel papers.

But in a deepening intrigue over his whereabouts, Snowden never boarded the flight.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Courts must take a skeptical look at affirmative-action programs at public colleges and universities, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, in a decision that is likely to set off a wave of challenges to raceconscious admissions policies nationwide.

The 7-to-1 decision avoided giving a direct answer about the constitutionality of the program, from the University of Texas at Austin, which will allow it to continue for now. But the justices ordered an appeals court to reconsider the case under a demanding standard that appears to jeopardize the program.

The ruling was simultaneously modest and significant, and its recalibration of how courts review the constitutionality of race-conscious decisions by the government will reverberate beyond higher education.

The brief decision, issued eight months after the case was argued, was almost surely the product of intense negotiation among the justices.

––––––––––––– COLUMNS –––––––––––––

A mid-year digest Wondering why the money world got its knickers in a twist last week? The answer is simple: The global economy is breaking apart and its constituent major players are doing face-plants on the downhill slope of a no-longer-cheap-oil way of life. Let’s look at them case by case.

The USA slogs deeper into paralysis and decay in a collective mental fog of disbelief that its own exceptionalism can’t overcome the laws of thermodynamics. This general malaise precipitates into a range of specific quandaries. The so-called economy depends on financialization, since it is no longer based on manufacturing things of value. The financialization depends on housing, that is, a particular kind of housing: suburban sprawl housing (and its commercial accessories, the strip malls, the box stores, the burger shacks, etc.). Gasoline is now too expensive to run ––––– the suburban living arrangeKunstler.com ment. It will remain marginally unaffordable. Even if the price of oil goes down, it will be because citizens of the USA will not have enough money to buy it. Lesson: The suburban project is over, along with the economy it drove in on.

But so is the mega-city project, the giant metroplex of skyscrapers. So, don’t suppose that we can transform the production house-building industry into an apartment-building industry. The end of cheap oil also means we can’t run cities at the 20th century scale. That includes the scale of the buildings as well as the aggregate scale of the whole urban organism. Nobody gets this. For one thing, there will be far fewer jobs in anything connected to financialization because that “industry” is imploding. The recent action around the Federal Reserve illustrates this.

When chairman Bernanke’s lips quivered last week, the financial markets had a grand mal seizure. He floated the notion that his organization might “taper” their purchases of US government issued debt and mortgage-backed securities — the latter being mostly bundled debt originated by government-sponsored entities and agencies. That’s the “money” that supports the suburban sprawl industry.

If the Fed were to reduce its purchases of this debt paper, nobody else would buy it. The reason the Fed buys the quantity it does in the first place

A sideshow of bellicose behavior by Gov. LePage This has been one of those weeks for the current government administration in Maine; a firestorm of journalistic criticism exploded in Governor LePage’s office. Begin the week with the investigation of the Department of Environmental Protection

by Colin Woodard in the Maine Sunday Telegram and wrap up with the crude and tactless public remarks attacking Senator Troy Jackson of Allagash. As citizens we must contemplate the effects of these incidents.

First the performance of the current administration regarding protection of the environment appears to interpret that responsibility as making the “environment” more friendly to businesses seeking to do business in Maine. The allegations that Commissioner Aho and adviser Robinson are motivated to remove regulatory standards regardless of the impact or stated will of the people. In the case of “product stewardship” regulations, Maine has been setting a standard of policy that was drafted by industry and supported by legislative bipartisanship. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the goal of the LePage administration is

Robert Libby –––––

One Man’s Island to obstruct “product stewardship” regulations as a governmental concept.

The pattern of administrative culture that discourages the environmental experts from conversing with legislative representatives, answering questions and providing expert advice, is more troubling. Recent political appointees with long ties to the industries affected by policy thwarting the independent views of veteran experts in the department is more troubling. When a state agency created to serve the needs of the people fails to meet its mission because the staff created to provide the best possible analysis fears retaliation, our system breaks down.

Notably a work product for which tax payers have paid under the previous administration

detailing a plan for emergency preparedness and coordinated plannning for response to natural disaster has been removed from the department’s web site in the interest of “streamlining” to the most frequently sought information. As other northeast Atlantic coastal states develop extensive strategies for confronting the effects of extreme weather related to climate change, the current administration of Maine’s government apparently thinks that planning is too expensive or unnecessary. This appears an issue of performance that the legislature should address.

Second it is interesting to note that Senator Jackson, the object of Governor LePage’s tirade, was the sponsor of a bill that would have denied any one-term governor from receiving a lifetime pension.

Was this the action that earned the ire of the governor and rendered Mr. Jackson as “brainless” “black hearted,” and only fit to work in the woods? As citizens we need to consider whether elected officials at any level of government should receive pensions and if those pensions should be based on years of see LIBBY page 5

Entropy never sleeps, chaos reigns KUNSTLER from page 4

($85 billion-a-month) is that nobody else would touch it at the offered zero interest rates. The US Treasury and the mortgage bundlers could only sell the stuff if they paid higher interest rates. But the U.S. government would choke to death on higher interest rates because its aggregate debt is so huge and the scheduled interest payments so gigantic that a one percent increase would destroy even the fantasy of economic equilibrium.

Apart from that unhappy equation, entropy never sleeps. Everything in America except the Apple stores and a handful of big banks is falling apart — especially the human habitat and households. Suburbia will only lose value and utility. Big cities will have to get smaller (ouch!). Tar sands, shale oil and shale gas will not ride to the rescue (they cost too much to get out of the ground). The entire declension of government from federal to state to local will be too broke to fix the roads and make “transfer payments” to idle, indigent citizens. This populace will lose faith in their institutions … and disorder will eventually resolve in a new and very different disposition of things on-the-ground. If we’re lucky, this will not include cruel despotic leadership and war.

If the “taper” talk is empty rhetoric, and the Fed continues sopping up issued debt, it will eventually destroy the credibility of its issued money. That is just another way of going broke, though it might beat a shorter path to the general loss of legitimacy of governments and other institutions.

Young people, harken: prepare for careers in agriculture and activities that support it. Consider moving to small towns in parts of the country where farming is possible and get ready to rebuild a very different economy. Also, consider repudiating your college debt en masse, since the fantasy of repayment is but another mental shackle holding you back from your future.

As for the other parts of the global economy, a digest: Europe doesn’t have enough oil and gas to run itself. Its suppliers (Russia, various Islamic states) are all basically hostile to it. As the late, great Tony Soprano might say, “end of story.”

Europe has been playing financial pocket pool with itself for five years with credibility ebbing. Soon Europe will descend into painful economic re-set. Its era as the go-to theme park

of advanced civilization is ending. Go there while it’s still possible and take some snapshots of what comfort and artistry used to look like.

China is imploding under the weight of its half-assed crony command economy and banking system. Nice try.

Cookie fortune says, “Industrial era entered too late in game.” All else there is desperation: e.g. the idea of moving hundreds of millions of peasants into new cities. As Tony would say, “Fuggeddabowdit.” They’re better off growing bok choy en situ. Anyway, no one should assume that China can remain politically stable. Let’s hope that its economic and political crack-up doesn’t transmute into war.

Russia’s oil production is in permanent decline. It has a lot, but it gets most of its income from selling it to other people. Hence, Vlad Putin’s notion of finding something else to base Russia’s economy on. Like … what? I don’t think they’re going to replace China in making salad shooters. Farming would be the way to go, and Vlad’s government is hoping that global warming improves Russia’s prospects for doing more of that. In any case, Russia might benefit in the long term by not selling off all of its oil and gas — though Western Europe would surely suffer from that decision.

On the plus side, Russia’s government is not crippled by idiot squabbles over abortion, gay marriage and the Bible in schools.

Japan. Sorry to repeat myself. Going medieval. They have no oil and gas.

(Cue Tony Soprano again.) In the event, Japan’s financial hara-kiri will drag down the rest of the world’s banking system — or at least hasten the damage already self-inflicted elsewhere around the globe. I’m also informed that much of the essential computer chip fabrication in the world still happens in Japan, and that will go away, too, as the Japanese engine seizes, smokes, and expels its final belch of CO2.

What else is there? South America?

Think: spreading jungle (or desert, take your pick). Canada? There’s an idea. Maybe Labrador becomes the new Hamptons? Second biggest national land mass … 30 million people (2 percent of China’s population). Only one drawback: the view to the south.

Public should probe public pension law LIBBY from page 4

service and subject to the same conditions as other government employees.

Could it possibly be true that his plan that cut back cost of living raises in teacher and state employee pensions specifically exempted the governor’s pension?

The real sad fact is the sideshow of bellicose behavior distracts from the serious effects of the Governor’s decision to defeat Medicaid expansion and the real suffering it causes for the

most needy members of our community. Faced with widespread criticism for his intemperate remarks, the Governor suggested that perhaps he’ll run for Congress instead of re-election.

After all what kind of pension do congressmen collect? And they say stupid things all the time.

Woman injured by lightning strike at Casco campground Daily Sun Staff Report A New Hampshire woman was flung into the air and knocked unconscious when she was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm Sunday night at Point Sebago Resort/Campground in Casco, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office reported.

Around 5:27 p.m. Sunday, the sheriff’s office responded to a report of a person struck by lightning at the Point Sebago Resort in Casco, Captain Craig Smith with the sheriff’s office reported in a press release.

Erin Ledoux, 25, of Nashua, N.H., had been near a pine tree along the edge of Sebago Lake with two friends watching the storm when the pine tree was struck by a lightning bolt, Smith reported.

The strike threw Ledoux and the others airborne, he said. Ledoux was thrown into the rocks and a concrete barrier at the water’s edge and was pulled from the lake unconscious by the others on scene, Smith said.

Ledoux regained consciousness,

was treated on scene by Casco Rescue, and transported to the Bridgton Hospital where she was reported to be in stable condition, Smith said. The two others involved sustained no injury and did not get transported for medical treatment, he said.

Severe thunderstorms that passed through the area led to a thunderstorm watch in several counties. The National Weather Service predicted continued chance of thunderstorms through the week and weekend. Average monthly temperatures are hovering a degree above normal, at 63.4 degrees, the weather service reported.

“The best threat for thunderstorms producing damaging winds and large hail will be Tuesday afternoon and evening across much of New Hampshire and western Maine,” the weather service reported Monday. “Very heavy rainfall is also possible in areas that receive persistent thunderstorms.”

Summer reading initiative rolled out by local officials

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

On the first day of summer, Portland students were ready to get an early start on the upcoming school year through a new summer reading initiative.

Portland ConnectED launched its summer learning challenge for city students on Friday, as a group of kids gathered at the Munjoy South playground to pledge to continue learning and eating healthy while school is out of session. Mayor Michael Brennan,

who administered the pledge, treated the kids to a reading of “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.” Students can register for the pledge online and Portland Public Schools Superintendent Emmanuel Caulk will select a group of winners who will be taken out for lunch and book shopping. The summer reading effort was launched to combat the “summer slide,” which is a trend that documents the amount of information students don’t retain during summer break. see READING page 9

Community policing, resident complaints credited in prostitution arrests

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Community policing and residents’ complaints about prostitution in the Parkside neighborhood contributed to an undercover prostitution operation credited with nabbing two alleged “johns,” one a violent sexual predator, the Portland Police Department reported.

Two local men were charged with engaging a prostitute after they approached an undercover police officer at the corner of Congress and Weymouth

streets and offered her money in exchange for sex, the police department reported Monday.

The two men, one described as a sexually violent predator with a criminal record, were arrested during an undercover prostitution operation in the Parkside neighborhood on Friday, June 21, police said.

Michael Kusnirak, 55, of ScarPerez borough and Orlando Perez, also known as Orlando Deperez, 44, of Portland, were arrested, police reported.

Perez was also charged with possession of cocaine, trafficking in prison contraband and failure to comply with the sex offender registry. A records check revealed that Perez has changed his name and that under the name Orlando Deperez he exhibited the behavKusnirak ior of a sexually violent predator with convictions for gross sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact, police said.

Deperez has a lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender but was not in compliance, having failed to register with the Portland Police Department, a police press release stated. He last registered with Lewiston Police in August 2012, police said.

Assistant Police Chief Vern Malloch said the arrests stemmed from resident complaints and the work of community policing.

“This detail is driven by complaints from residents about the brazen activity that’s going on down there,” he said.

The Parkside Neighborhood Association told police that ongoing prostitution was harming their neighborhood, police noted. Women who live in the neighborhood reported being followed and propositioned by men seeking sex, police said. The problem “resulted in a negative impact on the quality of life

and increased fear throughout this densely populated and diverse community,” police said.

Two days before the arrests, on Wednesday, June 19, a notice was circulated via Facebook about the police department’s investigation of prostitution.

“The community police are actively seeking reports of when/where, etc. folks are encountering street prostitution in the community so they can do a clean-up,” read the notice, which was posted on the Facebook page of The Green Hand bookstore, located near the intersection of Congress and State streets. The notice asked residents to email Parkside Community Policing Center Coordinator Michelle Lauture or Senior Lead Officer Dan Townsend.

Malloch confirmed that this notice demonstrated how community policing contributed to Friday’s arrests.

“The senior lead officer, who’s Officer Townsend, was contacted by residents ... and we investigated and we were able to corroborate that there’s a significant problem with prostitution in that ... area,” Malloch said.

“This detail was specifically focused on this one neighborhood,” he said, adding, “Hopefully it builds a deterrent effect on johns who are thinking of frequenting the area, and it gives some credibility to concerns of the neighborhood.”

Malloch said the prospective clients, or “johns,” were the focus of the operation.

“At this point we’ve opted to target the johns,” he said.

Asked if police would launch an undercover operation targeting prostitutes, Malloch said it’s not planned in Parkside, noting, “That’s another enforcement strategy.”

Police remind the public that they can provide information anonymously via mobile phone by texting the keyword “GOTCHA” plus a message to 274637 (CRIMES); via the Portland Police Department website www.portland-police.com by clicking “Submit an Anonymous Crime Tip”; and by calling the anonymous Department’s Crime Tip line at 8748584.

City Council passes $215 million budget Uncertainty in state budget leads to last-minute reduction in city appropriation for fiscal year 2014

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

For a budget that took several months to craft, passage took less than an hour. The City Council approved a $215 million fiscal year 2014 operating appropriation in less than an hour Monday night.

The council approved a $215.24 million operating budget Monday night, which is $1.14 million less than what was before the council last week, according to a memo. The previously proposed city budget totaled $216 million. The council’s Finance Committee recommended the cut in anticipation of a $1.9 million loss of revenue sharing from the state.

The anticipated tax rate will be $19.41 per $1,000 of valuation, according to the city, and represents a 3.1 percent increase — which amounts to 59 cents.

The total tax levy is $147.02 million — including the school budget.

Councilor John Anton, who is the chairman of the Finance Committee, said the adjustments to the budget were made because the city is looking at a potential $1.9 million loss in revenue sharing from the state. He said the committee opted to balance

the revenue loss by making some cuts and increasing the tax rate to preserve services citizens have come to rely upon.

“It has been an unusually difficult year,” said Mayor Michael Brennan, and that’s because of the challenges being faced in Augusta and how they could impact the city.

Along with the budget, the council unanimously passed a series of orders that included a 1 percent wage increase for non-union employees, besides the city manager, corporation counsel and city clerk; designating $40,000 for use on Peaks Island; and 24-cent increase in the sewer user charge for a total of $8.35 per hundred cubic feet.

Previously, the council planned on acting on a $216 million operating budget, but last week delayed a vote on the municipal budget pending an outcome on the state budget.

Gov. Paul LePage vetoed a $6.3 billion biennial budget proposal that won support in the Legislature, according to a press release, and decried the appropriation that was endorsed by the house and senate.

“We did what Maine people expect us to do: we worked together, we negotiated, and we passed a balanced budget,” said Senate President Justin Alfond of Portland, in a statement. “In a divided government, neither side gets everything it wants.”

“Today’s veto affirms the Governor’s commit-

ment to shutting the state down if he did not get his budget, his way,” Alfond added. “This is not leadership, and once again, one man is getting in the way of progress for the people of Maine.”

Both legislative houses plan to convene on Wednesday and consider overriding LePage’s veto.

LePage cited the Legislature’s proposed tax increases and what he perceived as cuts to educational programs as the primary reasons for the veto.

“This veto is not one done lightly. When I submitted a balanced budget, I knew there would be areas of concern for many legislators. That is why we had nearly six months to work together and find a solution that would have made hard decisions while still protecting our most vulnerable,” LePage said, in a statement. “It was an opportunity for our State to do something great, to make real changes for the better. Unfortunately, it was an opportunity missed.”

••• Aside from the operating budget, the council also approved a $16.73 million capital improvement budget for the upcoming year.

The capital budget includes transportation; parks, trails and fields; facilities; equipment and vehicle; schools; and sewer projects that will be funded through general obligation bonds.

Much like the operating budget, the council approved an amended capital budget. The capital budget was reduced from a $17.13 million request.

During beer festival, advocates argue safety of marijuana use

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

While most visitors to the Old Port this weekend thought more about beer, legalization advocates sought to turn their attention to marijuana.

Volunteers with the Citizens for a Safer Portland Coalition spent three days passing out cards that aimed to show people that marijuana is safer than alcohol. The leafletting coincided with The Festival, which was a twoday beer tasting event at the Portland Company and several bars and restaurants in the downtown.

David Boyer, the Maine political director for the Marijuana Policy Project, said the beer festival is a strong starting point for talking about legalizing marijuana. He said marijuana has been proven to be safer and less harmful than alcohol, and less likely to cause death, overdoses and violent behavior.

“It doesn’t make sense that the safer substance is illegal,” he said.

Boyer said it’s illogical that adults can’t choose to relax by recreationally using marijuana.

“Both can be enjoyed responsibly,” Boyer said.

The proposed ordinance — which would legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults who are 21 years

of age or older — is a proposed ballot initiative in Portland targeted for a Nov. 5 vote.

The legalization effort gained the support of the Maine Green Independent Party, the Libertarian Party of Maine, the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine and the Marijuana Policy Project.

The city council set a public hearing for the proposed ordinance that aims to decriminalize recreational marijuana use in Portland, after receiving a petition to put the question to a referendum. The hearing, which is set for July 15, will collect input on the proposed ordinance.

The Citizens for a Safer Portland Coalition attained 2,508 valid signatures through a petition drive to get the question on the ballot so Portland voters can decide on decriminalization.

The proposed ordinance must appear on the ballot as it was submitted by the coalition, according to a memo, but the council can create alternative language that can be picked as an alternative. The council may also vote to enact the ordinance following the public hearing.

The question will likely appear on the November ballot, though the council can opt to hold a special election.

Volunteers blanketed the Old Port during the weekend to highlight the safety of recreational marijuana use compared to alcohol. The effort coincided with a beer festival. (CRAIG LYONS PHOTO)

Still eager for some beer tasting? Mark your calendar for midJuly, because the Maine Brewers Guild is bringing its craft beer event from Boothbay to Portland.

Craft Beer Comes to Maine State Pier is scheduled from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 13 (with a VIP session at noon) outdoors on the Maine State Pier, Portland.

toria Ale has been brewed each year since 2006, with a dollar per bottle benefiting Victoria Mansion’s preservation efforts.

And on Friday and Saturday, the Shelton Brothers of Belchertown, Mass., and 12 Percent Imports of Brooklyn, N.Y., hosted The Festival

afternoon of craft beer on the water focuses on Maine-made beers, with at least 24 participating breweries with more than 85 different beer selections expected. Rare and single batch beers will be featured, organizers said. Proceeds go to funding Guild initiatives to promote Maine’s brewing industry.

“The focus is on Maine craft beer, most Maine breweries will be there,” said Dan Kleban, president of the Maine Brewers Guild and an owner of Maine Beer Co., formerly located off Riverside Street in Portland and now on Route 1 in Freeport.

“The Festival last weekend was hosted by the Shelton Bros. who are importers, the focus at that festival was largely on foreign beer, beer from around the world,” Kleban said, explaining the difference between the two events.

The guild festival focuses on Maine beers, food is included in the price of a ticket, it’s outdoors on the water and it’s smaller in scale, he explained.

“We’re capping ticket sales at 1,000 tickets, it’s one session only. This is a much more intimate kind of event,” Kleban said.

After two years at Boothbay, “we thought it might attract a broader audience if we moved it down to the Old Port,” he said.

Admission is $50 for regular session, $75 for VIP, including food; there’s a $25 ticket for designated drivers who still want to partake of the food and festivities. More information is available at www.mainebrewersguild.org.

ConnectED bolsters education READING from page 6

The summer learning challenge is being sponsored by the city, Portland Public Schools, the Portland Public Library and the Opportunity Alliance.

Brennan said the tremendous learning gains students make during the school year are quickly lost during the summer without proper access to learning opportunities and healthy meals. “We want to change that in Portland,” he said.

ConnectED was founded by the city, school system, Creative Portland, Sam L. Cohen Foundation, John T. Gorman Foundation, the Opportunity Alliance, the Portland Public Library, the Portland Regional Chamber, Southern Maine Community

College, the University of Southern Maine and the United Way of Greater Portland.

The primary goals of the program are to focus on kindergarten readiness, gradelevel reading proficiency by third grade; graduation rates; and higher education enrollment and completion. The secondary goals of ConnectEd are to exceed the state’s 90 percent graduation rate by 2016 and create an endowment fund to help Portland graduates attend colleges in the area.

result as if you had moved when you were.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is there something you could do to alleviate the pressure on you lately? For instance, cancel an appointment or sell something that requires more maintenance than it is worth. Simplification leads to happiness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t always make the kind of impression you want to make, but you often make an unintended good impression when you’re not even trying.

It all evens out in the end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be guided by a profound curiosity. To get to know someone, ask vague and open-ended questions. What a person wants to talk about will tell you more than you could learn with specific questions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 25). Your optimism is attractive, and new relationships will spark up in July. Research and investigation will flourish in August, and you’ll settle a mystery. Good fortune comes through your efforts to entertain others in September and December. Female friendships factor into your success in the first part of 2014. Sagittarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 24, 39 and 30.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to help a friend but are not sure quite how to accomplish this. Start by asking the magic words, “Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?” You’ll be surprised by the answer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You think it’s cute when children have an overblown idea of their current capabilities, but this quality is far less adorable in adults. Work with the straight shooters and those who are inclined to under promise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In order to stay open to the flood of intuition that could enter your decision making at any moment, agree not to rely solely on the navigation of your mind and logic.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have the opportunity to bring your work to a new crowd or mingle outside of your usual setting.

This is not to be missed. Don’t worry about fitting in, it’s better that you don’t. You’ll be a smashing success either way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sense that much is riding on your decisions, and you’re right. So even though it would be easier to act impulsively, you’ll take time to reflect on issues that have far reaching consequences, especially to the people around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being well informed on a subject can give you are narrower vision of it than someone who knows little. Instead of taking an intellectual approach, invite whimsy and wonder to inform you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When doubt pulls at you like a rip tide, don’t try and struggle against it. Instead agree, “Yes, maybe I won’t be able to do this, but I’m going to try anyway.” It’s the equivalent of swimming parallel to the shore.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People who live carefully considered lives wouldn’t make some of the choices you’ve made, but many of those choices worked out brilliantly in spite of being impulsive or intuitive. Follow your next instinct.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Waiting for inspiration or motivation will prove to be a waste of time. Move even when you are not motivated, and you’ll get the same good

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, June 25, the 176th day of 2013. There are 189 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 25, 1973, former White House Counsel John W. Dean began testifying before the Senate Watergate Committee, implicating top administration officials, including President Richard Nixon as well as himself, in the Watergate scandal and cover-up.

On this date: In 1788, Virginia ratified the U.S. Constitution.

In 1876, Lt. Col. Colonel George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were wiped out by Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana.

In 1888, the Republican National Convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Benjamin Harrison for the presidency. (Harrison went on to win the election, defeating President Grover Cleveland.)

In 1910, President William Howard Taft signed the White-Slave Traffic Act, more popularly known as the Mann Act, which made it illegal to transport women across state lines for “immoral” purposes.

In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 was enacted.

In 1943, Congress passed, over President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s veto, the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike Act, which allowed the federal government to seize and operate privately owned war plants facing labor strikes.

In 1950, war broke out in Korea as forces from the communist North invaded the South.

In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Engel v.

Vitale, ruled 6-1 that recitation of a state-sponsored prayer in New York State public schools was unconstitutional.

In 1988, American-born Mildred Gillars, known as “Axis Sally” for her Nazi propaganda broadcasts during World War II, died in Columbus, Ohio, at age 87. (Gillars had served 12 years in prison for treason.)

In 1993, Kim Campbell was sworn in as Canada’s 19th prime minister, the first woman to hold the post.

In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a line-item veto law as unconstitutional, and ruled that HIV-infected people are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2009, death claimed Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop,” in Los Angeles at age 50 and actress Farrah Fawcett in Santa Monica, Calif. at age 62.

Ten years ago: The Recording Industry Association of America threatened to sue hundreds of individual computer users who were illegally sharing music files online.

Five years ago: A divided U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that allowed capital punishment for people convicted of raping children under 12; the ruling also invalidated laws in five other states that allowed executions for child rape that did not result in the death of the victim.

One year ago: A divided U.S. Supreme Court threw out major parts of Arizona’s tough crackdown on people living in the U.S. without legal permission, while unanimously upholding the law’s most-discussed provision: requiring police to check the immigration status of those they stop for other reasons, but limiting the legal consequences.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My older sister, “Johanna,” was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer two years ago. Since then, she seems to have one new “lifelong dream” after another that she expects my brother and me to finance.

My brother has worked hard his entire life and saved his money. He tried helping Johanna with her first dream (a house) with a loan. Her husband initially told Johanna that my brother refused to help, and Johanna told him to “die a miserable death.” She lightened up when she found out the truth. When the bank didn’t approve the deal, she did repay most of the money. I’ve tried to help her, too, but I could not afford to keep giving her money.

Johanna’s latest dream is a hobby farm. She asked my brother to give her $18,000 as an outright gift. He told her no. Johanna stopped speaking to both of us, even though I have no control over what my brother does.

Here’s the real problem. Her husband recently asked both of us for money and, as always, made sure to mention that she might die any moment. They have both used her possible death to guilt us into giving her money. Annie, I love my sister, but it doesn’t seem right that they use this as a weapon against us. It also bothers me that Johanna stops speaking to us if we deny her.

None of us is wealthy. If I had the cash, I’d give it to her.

But I also understand my brother’s point of view. Another sibling took him for a lot of money many years ago, running up thousands of dollars in credit card debt. There is a good possibility that nothing will come of this hobby farm, and we’d all be out a lot of money, and for what? We aren’t young anymore. What do you advise? -- Torn Sister Dear Torn: It’s obvious that you want to be a good sister to Johanna.

Youth Building Alternatives students to graduate Friday at public library Daily Sun Staff Reports

At 11 a.m. Friday at Rines Auditorium at the Portland Public Library, friends, families and supporters of LearningWorks’ Youth Building Alternatives students are invited to a graduation ceremony.

Twenty students will graduate from LearningWorks’ Youth Building Alternatives program, according to the nonprofit, Portland-based organization for at-risk youth, the immigrant community and low-income families.

The students, who all previously had dropped out of high school, have been working toward their GEDs and hands-on Pre-Apprenticeship Certification Training, LearningWorks reported in a press release.

Youth Building Alternatives is a nationally accredited educational program that works with young men and women who have dropped out of high school. YBA provides classroom instruction toward a GED and job-site skill training for future employment, while supporting students’ life skills and building their leadership skills. YBA is supported, in part, with funds from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Maine Department of Corrections.

Unlike students earning a typical GED, students graduating from the YBA program have learned how to frame a window and build a roof. They’ve also received intensive support in developing life goals, finding employment and applying for secondary education, the press release noted.

“The determination of these students is amazing,” said program director Soni Waterman. “I am inspired by their daily courage and dedication to their future success.”

For more information, visit LearningWorks online at www.learningworks.me.

Jetport Access Road, the city reported. Last week, the Portland Public Art Committee voted to accept the long-term loan of the sculpture. Installation is tentatively scheduled for the fall of this year.

Also during the committee meeting, members “reluctantly” voted to cancel a Bayside Seating project proposed by Skye Designs of Washington, D.C., a press release stated. Due to the long period of time between the initial proposal and today, and because of changes in business conditions, the cost of the artworks has become prohibitive, the city reported.

“The committee remains extremely supportive of the work of Andrew Cocke and Skye Designs and feels that the designs would have greatly enhanced the experience of using the Bayside Trail,” a city press release stated.

For more information about the Portland Public Art Committee, visit www.portlandmaine.gov/planning/pubart.asp.

Standish welcomes jewelry store

While Bonny Eagle Jewelers is new to Standish, the owner has a lifetime of knowledge about the jewelry business.

Nathan Swan, of Rumford, is a fourth-generation jeweler and mineralogist and just opened the doors to Bonny Eagle Jewelers — a privately owned and operated business — to continue a family legacy of jewelry manufacturing. Bonny Eagle Jewelers, located at 111 Ossipee Trail East, in the Colonial Marketplace, will offer retail products, repair work, custom designs and jewelry manufacturing.

“What makes us unique in this extremely competitive and eye-catching market is not only our capability to supply our customers with the peace of mind that their jewelry is not going to be sent out of state to be repaired, we have one of the largest supplies of tourmaline in the state, and that their money spent in the store here is going to support the local community, schools and the state,” Swan said. “On top of that, of course, is the fact that I can provide the lower prices in the state by cutting out the middleman and do the manufacturing myself.”

Starting out as a boy, Swan has spent many years working in his parents’ jewelry store and learning about manufacturing and repair work. He spent two years taking a cooperative education program to further his training in jewelry manufacturing and repair, and apprenticed with his father, Timothy Swan Sr., at his Rumford, Maine, store.

Swan has an associate degree in business management and golf instruction and later attended the University of Maine at Farmington, where he attained a bachelor’s degree in business psychology with a minor in business management. Throughout college, Swan continued to learn more about jewelry manufacturing through working with his family.

Timothy Swan, Sr., has been a jeweler for 35 years and run a number of stores. His family mined and operated Mount Mica, the oldest gem mine in the United States, for many years before selling it to Plumbago Mining Corporation. Some of the stones he faceted were placed in the Smithsonian Museum, in Washington, D.C., and the Harvard Museum, in Boston, Mass.

Swan’s grandfather, Henry, was the president of the Oxford County Gem and Mineral Club and the president of the former Eastern Federation of Gem and Minerals. Henry Swan’s most significant mineral find was made in Stow, Maine, in the 1960s when he and his children found a single amethyst matrix cluster that weighed 450 pounds.

Swan looks forward to bringing his family legacy of jewelry manufacturing to the Lakes Region community. “The best thing about doing business in Standish has definitely been the welcoming response we have received from the people of Standish and really all of the people of the Sebago Lakes region, even those from Portland. It makes me have faith that another Maine-made business just might be able to make it here with the kind of encouragement that we have received,” Swan said.

Bonny Eagle Jewelers will be hosting a grand opening celebration starting today and running through Saturday, June 29. More information on the store is available at bonnyeaglejewelers.com or by calling 648-4029.
