Dave Owen, a South Portland resident and environmental law professor at the University of Maine School of Law, tells a crowd Thursday that smokestacks associated with reverse-flow transport of Canadian “tar sands” oil into South Portland “will serve as a stark visual reminder that South Portland is ready to serve as the East Coast’s tar sands port. And that would be really ironic and it would be sad for South Portland to play that role.” Communities have wrestled with possible risks to Sebago Lake and other watersheds from tar sands, but South Portland’s group said it’s the first to seek a ballot initiative. Signatures are being gathered for a November vote. (DAVID CARKHUFF PHOTO)

Dingell: The longest serving congressman

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — In an institution where seniority has long been prized, Representative John D. Dingell Jr. of Michigan is about to set a new standard with 57 years, 5 months and 26 days of House service — a remarkable tenure that spans more than a quarter of the existence of Congress. On Friday, Dingell, 86, the former Democratic powerhouse who asserted jurisdiction over vast expanses of federal policy as the intimidating chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, will become the longest-serving member of Congress in history with his 20,997th day as a representative, surpassing the record held by Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia. Dingell is as much a part of Congress as the columns and Capitol dome. “The history of Congress for the last 50 years is the autobiography of John Dingell,” said Representative John Barrow, Democrat of Georgia. Once an imposing, gruff, and famously fearsome sixfeet-three-inches tall, Dingell now occupies a diminished role and walks stooped over with a cane (from Harrods in London) or wheels around on a motorized scooter. But his mind remains sharp. He can still recall — with relish — old committee battles. Time and changing attitudes caught up with the chairman in 2008 when his fellow Democrats ousted him from the committee chairmanship he held so dear, and where he had reigned as the top Democrat for nearly 30 years. The bitter intraparty fight revealed not only concerns that Dingell, an ally of the Detroit auto industry, was too slow to move on environmental issues like climate change and fuel-efficiency standards, but also a broader sense that “old bulls” like him should make way for a newer, more progressive strain of legislator and leadership-driven policy. (Dingell, an avid hunter whose kills decorate his office, was also a thorn in his party’s side on the issue of gun rights.)

Judge orders restrictions lifted on ‘morning-after’ pills

(NY Times) — A federal appeals court in New York on Wednesday ordered that some types of emergency contraceptives be made available for now to women of all ages without a prescription, adding another layer of confusion to a complex and intensely political fight over the drug’s availability. In a brief ruling, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ordered

that the federal government lift all age and sales restrictions for two-pill versions of emergency contraceptives until the court finally rules on an appeal by the federal government, which is trying to maintain limits on the drug’s over-the-counter availability. Two-pill versions of the drug, and all but one brand of the one-pill version, are now available without a prescription only

to women 17 and older. In April, a federal district judge ruled that all versions of the so-called morning-after contraceptive be made available over-the-counter to all ages. The Obama administration appealed that ruling and asked that the judge’s order be postponed until the appeals court renders a final judgment. All briefs in the case are due Aug. 14.

Turkish leader says razing of Lawmakers: U.S. maintains vast database of phone calls Istanbul park will proceed ISTANBUL (NY Times) — Refusing to yield to a week of protests in dozens of Turkish cities, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that a redevelopment project that included the destruction of a park in central Istanbul would proceed as planned. Speaking at a joint news conference in Tunis with his Tunisian counterpart as part of a North African tour, Erdogan acknowledged that the initial large protest in Istanbul’s Taksim Square last Friday was based on environmental concerns, but said that the subsequent destruction of public property in riots that spread to more than 60 cities was unacceptable.

“Their problem is different,” he said, referring to the Taksim Square protesters, in a speech that was broadcast live in Turkey. “Environment does not only mean the green, but also history and culture. Environment does not mean destroying public tools and machines.” The protesters were objecting to the government’s plans to raze Gezi Park in Taksim Square, the last significant green space in central Istanbul, and erect a replica of Ottoman-era military barracks. Initial plans called for the barracks to house a shopping mall, but Erdogan has also said a cultural center might be built inside; it was unclear on Thursday what the barracks would contain.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The United States government has been compiling a huge database of calling logs of Americans’ domestic communications under a hotly debated section of the Patriot Act for at least seven years, the top lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee said on Thursday. But before any particular caller can be scrutinized, the lawmakers said, counterterrorism officials must seek additional permission from a secret national security court. Responding to the disclosure on Wednesday night of a highly classified court order seeking all of the customer communications logs of a subsidiary of Verizon Communications, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California and Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said the order appeared to be a routine reauthorization as part of a broader program that lawmakers have long known about. “As far as I know, this is an exact three-month renewal of what has been the case for the past seven years,” said Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee. It was carried out by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court “under the business records section of the Patriot Act,” she said.

As Syrian fighting nears border, Israel considers its options ELYAKIM, Israel (NY Times) — Syrian rebel groups briefly took control Thursday of the only crossing between Israel and Syria, bringing the intense violence of that nation’s civil war closer than ever to the Golan Heights, where farmers were told to stay out of their fields, tourists turned away from cherry-picking and roads were closed. At the same time, not 70 miles away, scores of Israel soldiers engaged in an elaborate combat exercise preparing for what is increasingly seen here as an inevitable war with Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militant group that has come to the aid of

President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The confluence of events confronted Israel with the complex reality of a civil war just across the border in which both sides are hostile to the Jewish state. Hezbollah has vowed in recent weeks that it would facilitate attacks on Israel through the heights. And the most effective rebel force is made up of radical Sunni jihadists aligned with Al Qaeda while many of the other militias are led by self-identified Islamists. The result has been a kind of paralysis in Israeli society, where options are debated but no clear consensus has emerged about

which outcome of the Syrian crisis is preferable or how to prepare for it. The situation grew even more worrisome for Israel on Thursday with hours of fierce battle at the Quneitra crossing, after which the Syrian government claimed it had regained control and the United Nations peacekeeping force that has patrolled the area for 40 years was at risk of disintegrating. “It’s definitely a heightened risk, if only because it blurs the situation,” said Daniel Nisman, a Middle East intelligence expert at Max Security Solutions, a Tel Aviv geopolitical risk consultancy.

Indelible profiling

With all the recent media attention given to the Boston Marathon bombing and illegal immigration pending legislative reform, the subject of profiling resurfaced in the national spotlight. Predictably, this rash of coverage brought about much misinformation, sensationalism and political hand-wringing. Profiling is the focus of information collection and interdiction on a subject that fits the characteristics of a given type of activity. It doesn’t have to involve intelligence, security, or law enforcement; it has long been used as a marketing tool for advertisers to target certain clients or potential customer demographics. For example, an ad for the newest edition of “Gourmet Cooking For Two” won’t be seen on the History Channel during a D-Day retrospective. Instead, it would target the desired From the demographic on the Food ChanStacks nel, perhaps during a Rachel Ray appearance. Security wise, profiles can cover such events as terrorist bomb attacks, robberies, domestic abuse, drug smuggling, etc. They can be psychological, religious, racial, or center on traits and characteristics which would narrow the search for a perpetrator, or try to avoid something from ever happening: a proactive profile.

Smores: defiant Honey Badger of treats, best with bourbon Life in a foodie town means coming to terms with wildly bountiful weekends like this: First Friday art walks kicking things off, then the Old Port Festival riteof-summer on Sunday with culinary temptations everywhere. Yet, even with all the “street food,” the seasonal offerings remind purists that there are few areas where the Gourmet Mafia does not muscle in. If there is any hint of “leave well enough alone” among our kitchens, it has mostly gone the way of the well-marinated Dodo. Hot dogs come simple and less so, but they are at least born of sausage and beg for complexity. What about something really simple, like french fries? You might think “fries” beyond improvement after the great saline innovation, but what about when Nosh decided to “dust” them with bacon? Pizza? Just simple cheese on flat bread, until first exotic toppings got added and then the alchemists started flavoring the very dough. And as Game of Thrones viewers can attest, even revenge, once thought to be best served cold, turns out to be great when served wedding-reception hot. Who knew? Resistance is of course futile. Which brings me to this week’s reassurance: Despite evidence to the contrary, our beloved smores have not jumped the simple-food shark. Granted, the evidence accumulates in a way usually reserved for Criminal Minds marathons. Like this year’s elaborate Memorial Day shrines that signaled commercial smore season. They included

square-cut marshmallows, extra thin, that promised to match our crackers yet leave our special non-forked sticks suddenly obsolete. Was roundness a problem? ––––– Chocolate graham cracker? Upgrading to special dark chocUsually olate? Trying that special new Reserved quick-melt Hershey’s? Cheating on your campfire with microwaves and ovens or even grills? Well, my friend... don’t judge sins untasted. And do not underestimate the smore. What’s best about smores is they do not care what we think of them, existing not in the confines of kitchen or grocery displays but in the wilds of camp and woods. Remember that great debate over Maine’s “official” desert back in 2011? That was when the blueberry pie advocates took on the Whoopie Pie lobby? One became official treat, the other was official desert. You did not hear one peep from smores. Because smores don’t care. Smores is the Honey Badger of treats, bad-ass in ways unimagined by domesticated concoctions. Burn your marshmallow like some Kings Landing torch? No problem for Honey Badger snack, just peel away the burn and start again – or eat ‘em burned. What’s for dessert? Burned smore. Next, roasted smore. Next, extra-crunchy smore rescued after dropping into the fire. Any problem with that? Run out of those fancy store-bought sticks? Just tear something off a tree, smore don’t care.

Gail Collins

I am telling you all this because nothing major is going to happen for early-childhood education without an enormous groundswell of public demand. This is a cause that’s extremely popular in theory. But its advocates have no power to reward or punish. Lawmakers who labor on behalf of preschool programs may get stars in heaven, but they don’t get squat in campaign contributions. And the ones who eliminate money for infant care programs have no fear whatsoever that they’ll lose an election over it. Look at McConnell. The Head Start programs in his state are already shrinking because of sequestration cuts. In western Kentucky, Audubon Area Community Services has had to close 12 classrooms and lay off 42 staff members. McConnell is running for reelection, but you do not see him sending out press releases demanding more money for preschool teachers. No, he’s bragging about killing an amendment to the farm bill that would have eliminated tobacco subsidies. (“I was happy to lead the fight to protect our farmers from another assault by Washington to go after our home-state jobs.”) If you want to lobby, I’d start with the Senate. The House is impossible, working under a budget that cuts spending on health and education about 22 percent below last year’s level. This is part

of Representative Paul Ryan’s plan to free Americans from the chains of government dependency, which proved so popular during last year’s presidential race. (In this chapter, we liberate 4-year-olds from the shackles of learning the alphabet.) In the Senate, the budget is committed to expanding early-childhood education. But to do something big, you need new revenues, and there’s no mention of specific taxes. “I’m not going to say that we have to have a cigarette tax and lose it that way,” said Murray. This is really a job for the Senate Finance Committee. So you might want to reach out to Senator Max Baucus of Montana, the chairman. Tell Max Baucus you want a cigarette tax! And then there are the reasonable Republicans. These days, to get a big breakthrough, you have to start with a bipartisan clique, like the Gang of Eight on immigration reform. If you have a Republican senator, feel free to write a note saying something like: “Quality preschool! Join a gang!” There are plenty of ways to lobby without big money. Go to your legislator’s next town hall and speak up forcefully, while trying to avoid sounding like the people in the back of the hall who think the United Nations is after their assault rifles. If all else fails, there’s always Twitter.

They’d hover on the tarmac, wearing sunglasses, packing Uzis HALKIAS from page 4

Intelligence profiles often fall into this latter category, where foresight — as well as subsequent action — is everything. While profiling has proven itself over the years as an effective tool, it’s not without faults. Security and law enforcement profiling seem the same, but can be different in development and application. Confusion between the two can lead to misidentification, long a stumbling block for civil libertarians. This is all simplistic, and not meant to denigrate the complexity of profiling. As all the recent furor escalated in the manhunt for the Boston bombers, I thought back two decades to my own time as a profile target. Ironically, this occurred during my Army service. Then a captain deployed in Sinai, my duties took me to both sides of the Egyptian-Israeli border. I noticed immediately how, even in uniform, I was scrutinized more than my fellow Americans. Far from the grayness and pale skin induced by New England winters, back then I looked true to my Greek heritage: jet black hair complete with moustache, and skin as dark, if not darker, than the natives.

My unit’s intelligence officer explained to me that in a group of Yanks, I would be the one singled out by Israeli forces. This was especially true at the border crossing in Gaza, and at Ben-Gurion International Airport. Particularly at the latter venue, I was stopped, quizzed, had my credentials examined, and quizzed again on the same things - the cycle seemed endless. I made the mistake of once arriving early for an outbound flight and thinking I would sit in the terminal and read a book until the mandatory three-hour check-in. While there, I don’t think I got through 10 pages. Several uniformed and plainclothes security personnel visited me once every five minutes, all asking identical questions. Sometime the same guy would stop by twice in a row. When check-in began and I was in the queue for inspection, the officers visited me yet again. On my return, coming off the plane was no different. They’d hover on the tarmac, wearing sunglasses, packing Uzis, and zooming right in on me and any other darker complexion person while letting the more Anglo-Saxon among us float by. Personally, as a credentialed American military officer — an ally — it was annoying; that was my

gut reaction, especially early on. They didn’t seem to care or flinch. My professional assessment, however, was one of respect and grudging admiration that they were doing everything possible to keep their people safe. Today, I can’t claim to have the answer on the morality of profiling and its delicate connection to the protections of our Constitution, or how it’s applied to non-citizens, or used overseas, such as in the Middle East. Law enforcement and the military need to do their jobs without a lot of politicizing. That said, having been a public servant, I’m not naïve to the reality of the demagogue with a microphone or TV camera nearby. To that end, I can only offer up one man’s experience – nothing definitive from which to draw a general conclusion. I was profiled so often when crossing the border into Israel, or flying from TelAviv, that it became routine for me. I remained irked when grilled, yet always arrived at my destination safely, and without incident.

may recall the drizzle of Memorial Day weekend, but when you show up with the goods – well, at our house it’s like walking into Hunter S. Thompson’s kitchen with a fresh bag of Columbia’s best. The next frontier for smores seems natural: foodand-drink matching. It turns out burnt smores go nicely with a bit of Knob Creek bourbon, neat. But gently roasted smores cry out for a nice Garnacha. I’m told the younger set is trending toward Goodness Grapeness for roasted and a Smiling Hill Farm milk, neat (white) for the burned. This is a good weekend for such wisdom, because while some will insist that “summer” does not begin

until the 21st, we know that the start of “summertime” is more subjective. It beings with an Old Port Festival song or some other personal ritual or perhaps a special treat. That’s because “summertime” begins with our inner Honey Badger. It’s the craving for something best consumed out of doors, something decadent, perhaps way, way too sugary and maybe even scorched by flames. In other words: some more.

Since it was invented, or more accurately discovered, by the Girl Scouts around 1925, triggering the Jazz Age, the “some more” has dominated summer sugar consumption. Smore “season” of course begins whenever the hell it wants, but for many it’s around Memorial Day. This year brought those tempting marketing displays and some strayed from the traditional marshmallow-Graham Cracker-Hershey’s recipe, and what parent has not been tempted by a microwave? You

Swimming at the East End Beach A few summers ago, when I had just moved to Munjoy Hill, I took a walk down over the Eastern Prom and discovered the East End Beach. I had known that it existed, but somehow I had never thought of it as being a “beach,” as in a place where one might swim. We’re talking ocean water off the coast of Maine, after all. And right off Portland Harbor no less, where one doesn’t generally think of taking a dip, if you know what I mean. But there they were, a couple dozen or so people, kids and adults, in the water, swimming. Frolicking even. Acting as though they were not only not in pain, but having a good time. I’m not much of a swimmer, never could get the rhythm quite right, but I do like cavorting about fairly close to the shore. When the water is bearable, that is. Somehow the thought that the water you’re in would probably freeze solid if there weren’t salt in it is a turn off for me. Anyway, I figured if those kids can do it, so can I. Well, that kids can do something is not always the best gauge, skateboarding being a case in point, but, in any event, I ended up in the water. Not bad. Not bad at all. Cold at first, as one might expect, but you do get used to it. After a while it actually starts being fun. You might say I’ve become a regular. Key here is the month. People start showing up in June, but for me the season is July and August, to about the middle of September. Note that I said that “You might say I’ve become a regular,” not “I’ve become a regular.” The thing is that even on days when the water temperature should be bearable, sometimes it isn’t. I’m told that what happens is that even on hot days offshore winds can cause colder deeper water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. So each time you go in it takes a small act of courage. Sure does feel good after you’re in for a while and have gotten used to it, though. I’d have to say that once I’ve taken the plunge I’ve never regretted that I did. Truthfully, swimming at the East End Beach is probably the greatest undiscovered delight about living in Portland. There’s something so delicious about peacefully floating on your back in the ocean so near to the hustle and bustle of the city. Somehow you feel as though you’re getting away with something. You feel so vibrant with health, too. Hippocrates used the word “thalassotherapy” to describe the healing effects of seawater. The ancient Greeks raved about the health effects of salt water and soaked for hours in seawater pools. Modern science tells us that they were onto something. Come to find out, seawater contains mineral salts and amino acids that produce living microorganisms that have

antibiotic and antibacterial effects, so various sicknesses are headed off. And fitness experts tell us swimming in seawater is especially good for building muscle strength and improving cardiovascular fitness. Just thinking about it is enough to make you want to take a nap. Came across a great little book, “Closeness” by Howard C. Reiche Jr., the son of the man for whom Reiche School is named after. It’s a personal history of growing up on Munjoy Hill in the ‘30s and ‘40s, and there’s a chapter devoted to swimming at the East End Beach. At the time, the author says, there were twenty-five bath houses situated up against the stone wall at the edge of the beach, and there was also a raft that got anchored just a little out in the water every spring. The beach was packed on every passably hot day. Didn’t take a whole lot to amuse kids back then, of course. One can imagine legions of them fidgeting in their seats at school all

winter long, dreaming of the glories of summer and swimming at the East End Beach. Myself, I wouldn’t say I dream about swimming at the East End Beach. I do often enjoy it, but there’s always that hesitation. Sometimes walking out into that water can be an abrupt experience and it’s tempting to put it off until the next sunny day. If I’m not careful it’s that way over and over again all summer and by the fall I’m thinking about renewing the membership I once had at the YMCA, as a way of making up for not having gone swimming in the ocean all summer. Then all winter I don’t join the YMCA because I’ve convinced myself that I’ll start my health regimen in the summer at the East End Beach, where I can swim for free. I start going in the water in July, I said? Sure, sure, I’ll be doing that, no question.

In 9-4 vote, former legislator named to Board of Environmental Protection; Chipman cites concerns Daily Sun Staff Reports On Wednesday, the Maine Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Environment and Natural Resources approved the appointment of James W. Parker of Veazie to the Board of Environmental Protection, but not without opposition. Independent Maine Rep. Ben Chipman of Portland, a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee, tried to halt the nomination, caucusing with Democrats prior to the committee meeting. “I pushed for the Democrats on the committee to have a caucus with me to talk about it before we went into the hearing,” Chipman said, and described a “good discussion.” Parker received a 9-4 confirmation vote, “but he was forced to answer tough questions,” Chipman said. Besides Chipman, voting in Parker opposition in the minority were Sen. Geoffrey Gratwick, D-Penobscot; Rep. Janice Cooper, D-Yarmouth; and Rep. Paul McGowan, D-York. Voting in majority on the committee were Sen. James Boyle, D-Cumberland; Sen. Thomas Saviello, R-Franklin; Rep. Joan Welsh, D-Rockport; Rep. Denise Harlow, D-Portland; Rep. Gay Grant, D-Gardiner; Rep. Bernard Ayotte, R-Caswell; Rep. Ricky Long, R-Sherman; Rep. Richard Campbell, R-Orrington; and Rep. Roger Reed, R-Carmel. “I couldn’t let it go that way with seeing his voting record, I felt we really needed to ask him some tough questions,” Chipman said, citing Parker’s testimony that he does not subscribe to the theory of manmade global warming and other positions he felt were at odds with the position. After over an hour of questioning, Parker was confirmed for a four-year term on the board. Nominated for the position by Gov. Paul LePage, Parker received very low scores from environmental organizations when he served in 2010-2012 as

a State Representative, Chipman noted in a press release prior to the vote. In their 2012 Environmental Scorecard publication, Maine Conservation Voters rated Parker with only a 9 percent score, noting that he cast anti-environment votes on all but one key environmental bill during his two-year term, he said. “You really want to have people on that board that are strongly in favor of environmental protection,” Chipman said Thursday while discussing the outcome. In 2011, when Republicans were the majority party in the Maine Legislature, then-House Speaker Robert Nutting discussed then-Rep. Parker and his appointment to the Environment and Natural Resources panel as a legislator. Nutting said Parker was “exceptionally qualified for the position,” noting that Parker was trained as an environmental engineer at the University of Maine at Orono, and was the founder and CEO of CES Inc., an environmental consulting business with 65 employees and five offices around the state. The Board of Environmental Protection, according to the state website, is “a seven-member citizen board created by the Legislature to provide, informed, independent and timely decisions on the interpretation, administration and enforcement of the laws relating to environmental protection.”

Independent political candidate and attorney Eliot Cutler confirmed Thursday that he plans to run for Maine governor in 2014. “While we will wait to make a formal announcement until after Labor Day, I can tell you now that I fully intend to be a candidate, and we are hard at work laying the groundwork for a winning campaign,” Cutler announced on Facebook. In a letter Thursday, Cutler wrote, “While we will wait to make a formal announcement until after Labor Day,

Police ask public to ‘say something’ about suspicious behavior at Portland events In light of the Boston Marathon bombings and in anticipation of the number of upcoming large public events, including Sunday’s Old Port Festival, the Portland Police Department is reminding members of the public that if they see something, they should say something. The department is hoping to raise public awareness of possible indicators of crime as well as emphasize the importance of reporting suspicious activity to the proper local law enforcement authorities. Specifically the Police Department reminds the public to: “Be alert to unattended packages, backpacks, bulky items; be wary of suspicious behavior that is not normal to you; take notice of people in bulky or inappropriate for the weather clothing.” Anyone who sees something suspicious should alert nearby security or police officers on duty, or call the police at 874-8575.

Chipman, a critic of the Republican governor, said he’s concerned the vote could be split again. “It becomes more of a concern for me if a strong Democratic candidate does decide to get into the race, and Eliot’s campaign is going strong, do we end up with LePage for another term?” he said. “At the end of the day we could end up with LePage for another term,” Chipman said.

After an incident on Thursday morning at a city park, warrants have been issued for Michael Thurston, 49, of Westbrook charging criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, assault, violation of a protection from abuse order and violation of bail, the city police reported. Thurston allegedly attacked a former girlfriend Thurston and threatened her with a handgun. The incident occurred Thursday around 6:20 a.m. at the Trolley Park located on Riverside Street near Forest Avenue, police said. The victim sustained injuries from the assault and was treated at the scene. The suspect fled the area in a black Ford Focus bearing Maine registration plate 6563 RN. The suspect is described as a white male, 5 foot 11 inches and 160 lbs., police said. Arrest warrants were issued for Thurston’s immediate arrest. All local and regional law enforcement agencies have been notified. Anyone who sees the suspect or suspect vehicle is asked to immediately contact police and avoid any contact with the suspect. If any persons witnessed the attack they are encouraged to contact the Portland Police at 874-8533.

The Goodwill Industries of Northern New England store at 1104 Forest Ave., and a neraby Cumberland Farms store at 1136 Forest Ave. both were targeted for robbery by a suspect who apparently changed clothes between incidents, spurring a police response around 6:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon, according to police communications. A suspect in sweatpants and a black hoodie demanded money at the Cumberland Farms by holding his hand in his pocket and pretending it was a gun, according to dispatch communications. He apparently made several demands but left with no money. Moments later, the Goodwill Industries of Northern New England store was targeted for robbery, and the suspect left with the whole till, stealing an estimated $1,043, officials reported. A short time later, a suspect was apprehended, and police believed he changed his clothing between incidents.

I can tell you now that I fully intend to be a candidate, and we are hard at work laying the groundwork for a winning campaign. I am heartened by the number of people who have volunteered their support and I am encouraged by the financial commitments I have received. (One recent fundraising event raised more than $100,000!) If you have already donated to Cutler for Maine: Thank you!” Independent state legislator Rep. Ben Chipman said he received an email from Cutler saying he has decided to run but that a formal announcement will come in the fall. “It seems like Cutler his campaign is really getting off the ground in a serious way,” Chipman said. “He’s doing some serious fundraising.” Gov. Paul LePage issued a statement from Brent Littlefield, his political adviser: “The last time an incumbent Governor lost re-election was nearly 50 years ago. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money on his campaign it is clear that politician Eliot Cutler could not give up on his personal dream of becoming Governor.” In 2010, Cutler came in a close second to LePage in the gubernatorial race, which that year also featured Democratic candidate Libby Mitchell.

‘A sweet festival’: Old Port Festival holds true to its original mission 40 years later By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

and that it’s naturally found a size that works best. Duggan said one thing he’s enjoyed most and is a big attraction is the multitude of music acts. He said almost every musical act that’s come out of Maine has played at the Old Port Festival, and while many have disbanded, some have gone onto bigger and better things. Music has become a big part of the festival, said Verzosa, and it’s incorporated family-oriented activities. Even though his gallery isn’t open during the festival, Verzosa said, he comes downtown to enjoy the music the food and see different people. He said it’s a great place to reconnect with people and run into friends. “It’s a great time,” he said. “It’s really wonderful.”

For turning 40, Portland’s Old Port Festival has aged well. While it has grown during the past four decades, it still offers the basic tenets it did in 1973. “I honestly don’t think it is that different,” said Nancy Lawrence, owner of Portmanteau, but there are slight differences. She said the food vendors are run by professionals and not nonprofit groups; the event is professionally coordinated and not as much of a grassroots effort; and there’s still music and performers but just in a higher abundance. “I think it’s a sweet festival,” Lawrence said, but it never got too polished. “It’s never gotten to the point it’s not a neighborhood kind of gathering.” “I’m just shocked it’s been 40 years,” she said.

Anania’s is Celebrating 50 Years of doing business in Greater Portland!!

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

On Saturday, kids from all over town will be spray-painting graffiti on walls, jamming to loud music, and dancing in the street. And local police will be joining them. These aren’t signs of social anarchy. Instead they are all part of a well-organized event called the Hip Hop Summit, in its inaugural incarnation at the Indoor Plant Kingdom, 200 Anderson St. Zach Broda, owner of Spun Arts and Apparel and sponsor of the Hip Hop Summit, and Andrew Coffin, of SUBONE workshops and youth outreach programs, are co-founders of the event, which is free and open to the public. “Zach and I started talking about this a year ago,” Coffin said. “Zach has a strong connection to the hip-hop community and knows the ‘street culture.’ We decided to join up and use all of the tools we had, and bring all the different disciplines together for one day.” “We wanted to promote street culture and hip-hop in a good light, to show a sense of community within our culture,” Broda said. There will be youth games and programs, and nonprofit organizations will be there. Local restaurants are donating food to help feed underprivileged kids from the neighborhood, and the event is alcohol-free. They have a graffiti wall, 120 feet long x 8 inches tall, primed for the event. Seven local artists will be tagging it, and there will be another wall to teach kids how to paint. The two painters organizing the graffiti wall are Tim Clorius, aka Subone, and Mike Rich from mikerichdesign.com. The street party will feature live music, with local and regional hip hop DJ’s and a few MC’s, churning out hiphop, soul, funk and dance hall music. There is even a breakdance competition with a $500 cash prize. “One of the core beliefs of hip-hop is the idea of ‘Each One, Teach One,’” Coffin said. “And the youth are very important. Zach and I wanted to have an event that the kids and families could attend and witness all of the artists that have been doing this for so long. If we can inspire one child through the event, that’s definitely a positive.” “When I grew up in the ‘90s, listening to rap and hip-hop, that was the heart of gangster rap. We’re trying to show people that hip-hop and rap music are not just synonymous with guns and violence. It’s always been based on struggle, but it doesn’t have to be negative. If you grow up in a troubled neighborhood, art and music can be a way out of the hole you’re in, huge factors in getting them on the right track,” Broda said. “Knowledge, respect, and understanding,” Coffin said. “That’s part of the core message of hip-hop — giving a voice to the voiceless.” According to the organizers, the four elements of hip-hop are MC’ing, DJ’ing, graffiti and dancing, both

It might be the Maine Hip Hop Summit, due to the fact that there’s a large hiphop community here that’s very competitive, but we’re trying to bring New England groups up here, too,” Broda said. “It will be the Woodstock of hip-hop,” Coffin said. “All of the positive aspects of it, anyway.” East Bayside Community Policing Center will have officers there, joining in with the kids, the organizers said. “We’re in this time right now of economic stress and a lot of the folks that have the power (e.g. politicians, financial institutions, and corporations) are making it increasingly harder to have a voice,” Coffin said. “Hip-hop gives an outlet to that voice. Outside of the culture, it gives a chance for people who don’t know anything about the music to come and experience it, to teach people to not be afraid with a paranoid vision of crime.” “Some kids don’t have anybody to give them an outlet, or teach them how to live right,” Broda said. “These kids can find comfort in painting, or dancing, or creating music, and learn from artists who have done it, and are making a living from it. These artists are some of the most passionate people in the world. Maybe they are not making a great living, but they’re happy doing what they do.” “Kids need to know that these people are here, that the world is not upstream,” Coffin added. “Hip-hop is starting to be seen as a legitimate outlet. This shows kids that they can paint, and they don’t have to go vandalize,” Broda said. “They can find ways to do their art without bombing the side of a business without permission.” He cited the inside of Binga’s as an example of permitted painted protest, as well as the Urban Farm Fermentory. The outside walls of Dogfish, the Asylum, and Joe’s Smoke Shop are also adorned with okayed art. “There’s an awakening right now,” Coffin said. After-party details There will be an official after-party at Binga’s Stadium Smokehouse and Sports Bar from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The cost is $10 for 18 plus and $5 for 21 plus.

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released advance estimates of 2012 gross domestic product by state, and revised estimates of 2009-2011 GDP by state, on June 6, and Maine ranked 44th in growth nationally. Maine’s real (inflationadjusted) GDP grew 0.5 percent in 2012, ranking the state 44th in growth nationally, the bureau announced. Massachusetts was the only New England state to rank in the top half, coming in at 19th. Connecticut ranked 50th, New Hampshire was 43rd, Vermont was 40th, and Rhode Island was 34th. “While we always welcome growth, half a percent is not even close to good enough,” said Gov. Paul LePage in the press release. “We need to continue to enact reforms that will spur economic growth and make Maine’s business climate more competitive.” North Dakota led the nation with growth of 13.4 percent, driven by mining, transportation and warehousing, and wholesale trade. The largest contributors to Maine’s GDP growth were wholesale trade, retail trade, and manufacturing, the report indicated. Nationally, durable-goods manufacturing was the largest contributor to real GDP growth in 2012, increasing 9.1 percent. Overall, U.S. real GDP by state grew 2.5 percent in 2012. While real GDP growth for 2009 was revised only slightly for Maine, from -1.7 percent to -1.8 percent, the revisions for 2010 and 2011 were more significant. Real GDP growth for 2010 was revised from 0.4 percent to 1.8 percent and 2011 was revised from -0.4 percent to +0.4 percent. Real per capita GDP for Maine was $34,597 in 2012.

Update on Congress Square ties in arterials City planner: Possible shift to two-way traffic on High, State streets could enhance square By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

A proposal to turn State and High streets into two-way streets from their one-way orientation could complement a controversial plan to renovate a section of Congress Square. At a meeting Wednesday, Alex Jaegerman, city planning division director, made a brief reference to the State and High proposal, a planning effort aimed at calming traffic and improving bicyclist and pedestrian access by eliminating the one-way orientation of these streets. He was speaking to the board of Creative Portland Corporation, a nonprofit group tasked with enhancing and creating creative economy business and arts district development and employment opportunities. Based on a street concept out of England, Jaegerman said he would like to influence the design of the intersection at High and Congress streets. If this planning effort succeeds, a “shared-used intersection” could emerge near Congress Square, he said. “We talk about making Congress Square more pedestrian focused and claiming the bits and pieces of real estate in front of the art museum and across the street and in front of the Hay Building, and it’s all broken up into pieces, mostly by cars,” Jaegerman said. “If we can really, genuinely reconfigure that in a more holistic way, what a great place it could be. That’s really the goal I think here is to really think much bigger and much deeper about what could happen there, along with the possibility of two-way streets instead of one-way streets, which will change the flavor and the character of the traffic.” Jaegerman’s comments came Jaegerman during a report about Congress Square Plaza, by real estate developer Peter Bass, board member to Creative Portland. Bass gave a quick recap, including a vote by the Creative Portland board on Aug. 1, 2012, to support in concept a development plan for the Congress Square Plaza along High Street. RockBridge Capital — the firm that bought the Eastland Park Hotel and is converting it into the Westin Portland Harbor View — has presented the city with plans for a proposed 9,400-squarefoot events center, which leaves a 4,836-square-foot public plaza. Late last month, the City Council’s Housing and Community Development Committee voted 3-1 to authorize city staff to begin negotiations with RockBridge Capital about the possible sale of a portion of the park for the hotel to add the events center. In 2012, Creative Portland’s board received information about Congress Square Plaza, and at the Aug. 1, 2012 meeting voted on the issue. The meeting minutes read: “A motion was then made that Creative Portland supports the concept of a new building of the appropriate size with an

acceptable ratio of building size to plaza size based on minimum standards set forth by the New York City ordinance on public/private spaces. Creative Portland values the economic development opportunity offered by Rockbridge, the potential to bring activity to the Arts District, and encourages a compromise to be found to balance a quality public space with a new building. Creative Portland also recognizes the critical importance and public role that public space plays in keeping Portland a vibrant and welcoming place for everyone. While this resolution endorses the concepts as stated, Creative Portland also wants to state clearly that any new or existing public spaces are to be designed for and used by people across the socio-economic spectrum. This motion was then seconded and passed 10-4-2 (Opposed: Tom Blackburn, Chris Campbell, Councilor David Marshall, and David Wade; Abstained: Alex Jaegerman and Greg Mitchell).” On Wednesday, Bass recalled, “I think we decided if we looked at our mission, which was to do economic development via the creative economy and shepherd the arts district, we felt the contribution that RockBridge could give to the area through the events space outweighed the sort of touchy issue of giving up public space.” Bass then described a back-and-forth effort to refine the proposal, and the release of revised plans after a long hiatus in discussions. Bass said the new plans released this year benefited from “the fact that people could look at the entire plaza and envision something much grander that brought the plaza back to the pedestrian realm more so than the motorized realm.” Andy Graham, president of the Creative Portland board, credited Bass with shepherding a group of people together and spearheading a charette or series of workshops about the project, which he said

helped bring back improved designs. “We as a group had a real contribution to making the cityscape a more responsive one, and we should feel good about that,” Graham said.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll wonder whether everyone is really on the same page. Assumptions in this regard could hurt you, so be bold. Find out. Ask the others involved to summarize what’s on their “page,” and check it against yours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you trying to do too much? This seems counterintuitive, but if you add one more task to your load, you’ll find that everything crystallizes neatly into two categories: “Do it” and “Drop it.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes you like to enjoy a funny person; sometimes you like to be the funny person. Your need for humor and self-expression will converge today to good effect. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 7). You wish grandly as you shoot for the stars this year. But by next month, you’ll land on the right goal -- one that can be accomplished by the end of September. Throw a party to celebrate your success, and invite the attractive people who come into your life over the next 10 weeks. November brings a solemn exchange. Cancer and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 24, 39, 50 and 2.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll do your thing today -- dance your dance, sing your song -- and probably be met with shrugging shoulders. It’s them, not you. “What is the voice of song when the world lacks the ear of taste?” -- Nathaniel Hawthorne TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you see may disappoint you. But fill your heart with compassion, and your eyes will change. Your love is needed. You can make a difference by approaching this need differently. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The tools of structure you’ve been resisting will help you. Timelines and measurements are needed; otherwise, your project will not move along in the way you want. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your conversational savvy will help you progress at work. You know when to stay on point and when to veer off in order to bring a sense of fun and surprise to the picture. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love it when the action comes full circle, and you’ll experience exactly that. The person who left to explore other offers will be back, realizing that the best offer around comes from you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In this world of diverted attention, evidence that someone has paid attention to the little things you say and do is a tremendous gift. That’s why, in relationships, specificity trumps grand gestures. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You sometimes get uncomfortable when it’s time to talk money, but the conversation doesn’t have to be long and drawn out. Spell out the major terms. Only answer what’s being asked. Keep emotions out of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Concepts of good and evil are not usually as black and white as the fairy tales paint them to be. And then sometimes they are. Like today -- a day when it’s quite obvious what to cherish and what to ward off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What priority have you placed on fun? Push it up the chart now to avoid becoming embittered and burned out. Issue a few invites, and you will have many takers.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, June 7, the 158th day of 2013. There are 207 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed to the Continental Congress a resolution stating “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown.” On this date: In 1654, King Louis XIV, age 15, was crowned in Rheims, 11 years after the start of his reign. In 1769, frontiersman Daniel Boone first began to explore present-day Kentucky. In 1862, William Bruce Mumford, a Confederate loyalist, was hanged at the order of Union military authorities for tearing down a U.S. flag that had been flying over the New Orleans mint shortly before the city was occupied by the North. In 1863, French forces occupied Mexico City during the Franco-Mexican War. In 1892, Homer Plessy, a “Creole of color,” was fined for refusing to leave a whites-only car of the East Louisiana Railroad. (Ruling on his case, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld “separate but equal” racial segregation, which it overturned in 1954.) In 1929, the sovereign state of Vatican City came into existence as copies of the Lateran Treaty were exchanged in Rome. In 1942, the World War II Battle of Midway ended in a decisive victory for American forces over the Imperial Japanese. In 1967, the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic opened in San Francisco. In 1972, the musical “Grease” opened on Broadway, having already been performed in lower Manhattan. In 1981, Israeli military planes destroyed a nuclear power plant in Iraq, a facility the Israelis charged could have been used to make nuclear weapons. In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that religious groups can sometimes meet on school property after hours. In 1998, in a crime that shocked the nation, James Byrd Jr., a 49-year-old black man, was hooked by a chain to a pickup truck and dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas. (Two white men were later sentenced to death for the crime; a third received life with the possibility of parole.) Ten years ago: In a national first, New Hampshire Episcopalians elected the Rev. V. Gene Robinson, an openly gay man, their next bishop. A suicide bomber in Afghanistan killed four German peacekeepers; the blast also killed a teenage Afghan bystander. Justine Henin-Hardenne beat Kim Clijsters 6-0, 6-4 at the French Open. Five years ago: Hillary Rodham Clinton suspended her pioneering campaign for the presidency and endorsed fellow Democrat Barack Obama. Longshot Da’ Tara spoiled Big Brown’s bid for a Triple Crown by winning the Belmont Stakes. Ana Ivanovic won her first Grand Slam title by beating Dinara Safina 6-4, 6-3 in the French Open. Veteran sportscaster Jim McKay died in Monkton, Md., at age 86. One year ago: Attorney General Eric Holder clashed with Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee seeking more information about a flawed gun-trafficking investigation in Arizona known as “Operation Fast and Furious.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a 16-year-old girl in high school. I have so much to be thankful for, but recently, I have been feeling like something is wrong with me. Quite frankly, I am depressed. I am always tired, anxious and nervous, and I have outrageous mood swings. I have lost all focus, ambition and motivation, and sometimes it just hurts to breathe. I hate to use this as an excuse for my grades, but I had been a straight-A student, and now I have two C’s and a B. This is unacceptable. I hate disappointing my parents. Along with the grades and the other symptoms I mentioned, I am constantly having trouble eating and recently resorted to self-harm. Suicidal thoughts also accompany this, as much as I hate to admit it. I worry that if I tell my parents, they will hate me. I don’t have a teacher or counselor I feel comfortable confiding in. None of my friends know, and I am scared that I will do more damage to myself than I intend. Please help me. I hide behind a smile every day, and I am so lost. -- Depressed in Hiding Dear Depressed: Please tell your parents you aren’t feeling well and ask them to make an appointment for you to see your doctor. A lot of what you are describing may have physiological origins that can be treated (such as a hormonal imbalance). You can speak to the doctor privately and tell him what you told us. But please don’t be afraid to discuss this with your parents. They love and care about you. They may be worried, but they will want to help, and you will feel better confiding in them. Dear Annie: My cousin is getting married in another state. I have four other relatives in my city, and we are planning to go together, even though we’ve seen this cousin only a few times in our lives. The wedding is on a Sunday evening, and we’d arrive on Saturday afternoon. If there is a rehearsal dinner on Saturday

night, should we be included as out-of-town relatives? We’re already spending a great deal of money on airfare and hotel rooms. What do you say? -- Dinner Guest or No? Dear Dinner Guest: The rehearsal dinner is specifically for the bridal party, immediate family and the officiant. If the hosts can afford to include out-of-state guests (related or not), it is both gracious and appreciated. However, if there are many such guests, it can be beyond the means of the hosts to include them in the rehearsal dinner. It is appropriate, however, for them to provide some welcoming snack or hospitality for all out-of-towners upon their arrival, since such guests are unfamiliar with nearby restaurants and might be arriving too late to eat at the hotel coffee shop. Dear Annie: I was moved to write after reading the letter from “California,” the man who felt so guilty about a brief extramarital affair he had 40 years ago that he wanted to confess it to his children. My parents divorced in 1968, when I was 13. I would respect my father more if he would acknowledge that his affairs were a significant reason for the divorce. Our mother told us, but didn’t use it as part of the divorce proceedings. I think she thought it was too embarrassing. Dad married his girlfriend six months later. Last summer, my 87-year-old father had the nerve to tell me that my mother was the one who wanted the divorce and he didn’t know why. While you may think it would do more harm than good, I’d rather my father tell us than keep lying. -- S. Dear S.: Your father had a long-term affair that resulted in a divorce. It is not the same as a brief indiscretion that was deeply regretted. And while Dad should not lie or blame your mother, it’s possible that, at the age of 87, he no longer clearly remembers the reason behind the divorce.

Sea Dogs looking to regain their winning ways By Ken Levinsky

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The Portland Sea Dogs (31-26) have struggled lately (losing eight of 10 games between May 25 and June 4) but are still very much in playoff contention. The Sea Dogs are tied for second place with the Trenton Thunder (New York Yankees affiliate) two games behind the Binghamton Mets in the Eastern League’s Eastern Division. The top two clubs in each division will compete in the Eastern League playoffs. Portland continues its Western Division road trip when they begin a three game series tonight at 6 pm at the 28-31 Akron Aeros After this weekend, the Sea Dogs head for home to open a three game series against the Western Division leading Eric Seawolves (32-25) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Erie, the Detroit Tigers affiliate, will bring in 22-year-old shortstop Hernan Perez. Perez, cur-

rently batting .308 with 18 stolen bases (one off the league lead), jumped briefly from Single A to the MLB last June when the Tigers were in a pinch. He had a hit and scored a run in two plate appearances. For the Sea Dogs, 20-year-old shortstop Xander Bogaerts saw his batting average rise from .287 to .310 to claim the team lead among players with at least 95 at bats. Ranked No. 1 among Red Sox prospects, Bogaerts is third on the Sea Dogs with 32 RBI. Right fielder Peter Hissey is second on the team with a batting average of .284. He was placed on the seven-day disabled list on May 21 and has yet to return. The 6-foot, 1-inch, 23-year-old lefty is still second on the team with nine stolen bases. Third baseman Michael Almanzar hit two home runs during the week and leads the team with 11 round trippers and 41 RBI. The 6-foot, 3-inch, 22-year-old Eastern League rookie’s batting average dipped slightly from .289 to .283

Center fielder Shannon Wilkerson raised his batting average from .263 to .271, fourth on the team. The 6-foot, 24-year-old Georgia native had one steal last week to maintain the team lead with 12 stolen bases. Last year Wilkerson had 32 stolen bases between Portland and single A Salem. Outfielder Tony Thomas remained second on the team with 35 runs batted in. His batting average fell from .258 to .241.

Penguins extend Game 3, but the end of the series now appears imminent By Peter May THE NEW YORK TIMES

BOSTON — On a night when they could not afford to lose, the Pittsburgh Penguins played easily their best game of the Eastern Conference finals against Boston. Their goalie was superb. Their defense was unforgiving. They outshot the Bruins by a wide margin and had the better scoring chances. Their stars came out, if not on the statistics sheet, then certainly on the ice, in the face-off circles and along the boards. They extended the game to overtime and then into another day. In the end, it did not matter. This has not been the Penguins’ series: in Pittsburgh they were exposed as impostors, and on Wednesday night (and Thursday morning) at TD Garden, they let a terrific chance go to waste. Patrice Bergeron redirected a Brad Marchand centering pass at 15 minutes 19 seconds of the second overtime to give the Bruins a stirring, exhausting 2-1 victory and a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Jaromir Jagr also assisted on the play. The Penguins, solid favorites entering the series, hounded the Bruins all night, but goalie Tuukka Rask was near impenetrable, stopping 53 shots in all. Pittsburgh now finds itself in a position from which only three N.H.L. teams have ever extricated themselves, and Boston can close out the series in Game 4 at home on Friday night. The big question before Wednesday’s game was the identity of the Penguins’ goalie. Tomas Vokoun had started the first two games of the series, but he was pulled from Game 2 before the first period ended, having allowed three goals. Coach Dan Bylsma still went back to Vokoun for Game 3, bypassing Marc-Andre Fleury, who had been ineffective in the postseason and who also surrendered three goals in Game 2 against the Bruins. “Looking for a solid game from our goaltender,” Bylsma said before the game.

Our Lady of Victories art talk

5:30 p.m. June 7 as a part of First Friday Art Walk, the Portland Public Art Committee will feature Art in Our Front Yard: Portland’s Public Art Collection with a discussion of Our Lady of Victories located in Monument Square. “PPAC member Jere Dewaters will lead a discussion of the statue, its history and significance within the city’s collection. The public is encouraged to join the PPAC Friday June 7th and learn about the art in their front yard and share in a discussion of the unique place public art holds in our community. Our Lady of Victories is arguably the most well-known piece of public art in Portland. In the late nineteenth century, erecting civic monuments in memory of historic events and people became a popular custom. Located in Monument Square in the heart of downtown, Our Lady of Victories commemorates the Portland soldiers who fought and died in the American Civil War. In 1873, seven years after the devastation of the Great Fire, an association was formed under the leadership of Brevet Brigadier General John Marshall Brown to erect a monument in honor of the 5,000 lives the city lost to the Civil War, fully one-sixth of its population.” For more information about the Portland Public Art Committee, visit www.portlandmaine.gov/ planning/pubart.asp. see next page
