Elder Bush pays tribute, and receives it
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — In a homecoming tinged with nostalgia and an unspoken sense of farewell, President Obama on Monday welcomed his oldest living predecessor, George Bush, to the White House, where the two men, separated by nearly four decades but united in their fervor for volunteer service, presented an award to a retired Iowa couple. Appearing together in the East Room, Obama and Bush, who is 89, bestowed the 5,000th “Daily Point of Light” award – named after Bush’s signature initiative on volunteer service – to Floyd Hammer and Kathy Hamilton, who founded a nonprofit organization that delivers free meals to hungry children in 15 countries. Paying tribute to Bush for “how bright a light you shine,” Obama recounted how his predecessor began awarding these prizes while still in the White House, and has continued to hand them out, every day since he left the presidency in 1993. “When you do a parachute jump at the age of 85,” Obama said, gesturing to a smiling Bush, in a wheelchair, “this is somebody who is not going to slow down anytime soon.” Bush, who was hospitalized in intensive care with a high fever over the holidays this winter, appeared frail but alert and in good spirits. He wore a pair of jaunty, mismatched red-and-white striped socks, which his son Neil said reflected the determination of his father, who no longer jumps out of planes, to become a style icon instead. Bush spoke briefly, his voice familiar and steady, to thank the president and first lady, Michelle Obama, for their hospitality. After handing the microphone to Neil Bush, who chairs the “Points of Light” organization, he admonished his son to “keep it short.”

In Zimmerman case, self-defense was hard to topple
SANFORD, Fla. (NY Times) — From the moment George Zimmerman held up his arms and told the police that he had shot Trayvon Martin, one fact was undisputed: an unarmed black teenager lay dead. But as one top Florida defense lawyer, Michael Band, said on Sunday, “Trials, for better or worse, are not morality plays.” From the start, prosecutors faced a difficult case — weak on evidence and long on outrage. Zimmerman had the power of selfdefense laws on his side, and was helped by a spotty police investigation and prosecutorial
missteps. The initial investigation foundered when the local prosecutor balked at bringing charges, convinced that overcoming the selfdefense claims would prove impossible. But six weeks after the killing, his replacement, Angela B. Corey, from the Jacksonville area, charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder, a tall order. At the trial, the fight between Martin and Zimmerman that preceded the shooting produced a muddle of testimony — and grist for reasonable doubt. It remained unclear who had thrown the first punch
and at what point Zimmerman drew his gun. There were no witnesses to the shooting and no definitive determination of which man could be heard yelling for help in the background of a 911 call. The only version of events came from Zimmerman, who did not take the stand, denying prosecutors a chance to cross-examine him. His statements to the police spoke for him at the trial. Defense lawyers also had a powerful piece of evidence in photographs of Zimmerman’s injuries: a bloody nose and cuts and lumps on the back of his head.
Egyptian liberals embrace the Saying Senate is ‘broken,’ military, brooking no dissent Reid vows to limit filibuster CAIRO (NY Times) — In the square where liberals and Islamists once chanted together for democracy, demonstrators now carry posters hailing as a national hero the general who ousted the country’s first elected president, Mohamed Morsi, of the Muslim Brotherhood. Liberal talk-show hosts denounce the Brotherhood as a foreign menace and as “sadistic, extremely violent creatures” unfit for political life. A leading human rights advocate blames the Brotherhood’s “filthy” leaders for the deaths of more than 50 of their own supporters in a mass shooting by soldiers and the police. A hypernationalist euphoria unleashed in Egypt by the toppling of Morsi has swept up even liberals and leftists who spent years struggling against the country’s previous military-backed governments. An unpopular few among them have begun to raise alarms about what they are calling signs of “fascism”: the fervor in the streets, the

glorification of the military as it tightens its grip and the enthusiastic cheers for the suppression of the Islamists. But the vast majority of liberals, leftists and intellectuals in Egypt have joined in the jubilation at the defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood, slamming any dissenters. “We are moving from the bearded, chauvinistic right to the clean-shaven, chauvinistic right,” said Rabab el-Mahdi, a left-leaning scholar at the American University in Cairo. Many Egyptians are overwhelmed with dual emotions: relief at the end of an Islamist government that many called arrogant and ineffective, and thrill at their power to topple presidents. The voices on the left who might be expected to raise alarms about the military’s ouster of a freely elected government are instead reveling in what they see as the country’s escape from the threat that an Islamist majority would steadily push Egypt to the right.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Senator Harry Reid of Nevada took a defiant and uncompromising stand on Monday ahead of a closed-door meeting of the Senate, saying that pushing through a rules change to end filibusters of executive branch nominations would “save the Senate from becoming obsolete.” “This is a moment in history where circumstances dictate the need for change,” Reid, the majority leader, said in a speech at the liberal Center for American Progress. He suggested that there was only one way for Republicans to avoid the rules change: give Democrats a straight up-or-down vote on all seven of President Obama’s nominations that are in question and stop filibustering executive nominations going forward. “I love the Senate, but right now the Senate is broken and needs to be fixed,” he said. All 100 senators are scheduled to cloister at 6 p.m. Monday in the ornate Old Senate Chamber, doors closed, to hash over Democratic plans to change the Senate’s rules with a simple majority motion as early as Tuesday morning. Reid’s position could be a bluff. Conversely, a small group of Democratic and Republican senators might yet emerge with a compromise to thwart his plans. But signals on Monday pointed to the “nuclear option” — that rather than the 67 votes usually needed to change the Senate rules, Democrats would do it with 51, a move that could in the short run eviscerate what comity is left in the chamber, and over the longer term could fundamentally change the institution.

The House’s immigration dilemma The first thing you need to know about the House Republican view of immigration reform, the fate of which now rests with John Boehner’s restive caucus, is that there is no single House Republican view of immigration reform. Instead, as the Democrats have come to march in lock step on the issue — dropping the old unionpopulist skepticism of low-wage immigration in favor of liberal cosmopolitanism and Hispanic interest-group pandering — many of the country’s varying, conflicting opinions have ended up crowded inside the Republican Party’s tent. So there are Republicans who would happily vote for the Senate bill as is, no questions asked, and Republicans who might never vote for a bill that contains the words “comprehensive” and “reform,” let alone “immigration.” ––––– There are law-and-order The New York Republicans who care only about Times border security and E-Verify, probusiness Republicans seeking new guest-worker programs and religious-conservative Republicans for whom amnesty is a humanitarian cause. There are libertarian Republicans who believe “the more, the better” is the only answer on immigration policy and communitarian Republicans who worry about the impact on wages, assimilation and cultural cohesion. There are calculating, self-interested Republicans who think immigration reform will save their party from extinction, and calculating, self-interested Republicans who worry that it will create millions of new Democratic voters. This diversity of views makes it difficult to game out exactly how the House might proceed on the issue. But right now, there seem to be two directions that Republicans could ultimately take. The first is a kind of lowest-common-denominator approach suggested by the majority leader, Eric Cantor. It would advance two ideas that command broad Republican support — more spending on border security and more visas for high-skilled immigrants — alongside an idea many Republican representatives opposed in the past but seem to be

Hopes dim for a productive Congress Sunday morning watching the talking heads on network television thoroughly dashed all hope I might have had for the immediate future of representative democracy in the United States. The spectacle of Senate Majority Leader Reid followed by Minority Leader McConnell convinced me of the futility of any productive progress in the Congress. Senator McConnell was resolute in his new beliefs on the sanctity of the filibuster rule in the Senate regardless of repeated attempts by the moderator to ask about a time when as majority leader he held the diametrically opposing view. When asked about other obstructive attitudes he held on implementation of the Affordable Care Law and advancing the cause of Immigration policy reform, he completely ignored the questions and chose to respond by attacking President Obama. Senator McConnell pontificated on the role of the Senate to advise and consent and stated that none of the president’s nominees had been denied. In fact many had not had the opportunity of having a vote on their fitness to
Robert Libby –––––
One Man’s Island serve because a filibuster had been repeatedly invoked anonymously to keep their nominations from consideration. The filibuster has also been recently employed to stop consideration of a bill to strengthen background checks on purchases of firearms. A filibuster that kept representatives from having to state their views and reasons for not supporting a law thast enjoyed wide support of the American people, and even vast support by members of the National Rifle Association which vehemently oppose it. Adding this obstructionist strategy to the workings of the House of Representatives make it abundantly clear that no meaningful legislation will be advanced by the one hundred and thirteenth session of the Congress. Consid-
ering immigration reform alone, even if the Senate can muster the resolve to pass a compromise proposal that will improve the absurd current situation of immigrant status, the House led by Speaker Boehner feels no compulsion to consider any bill sent from the Senate unless it is supported by a “majority of the majority” caucus in that legislative body. Nothing of substance will be enacted by this Congress. Coupled with the apparent judicial activism of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Roberts, the future of social reform seems bleak. In the recent Shelby County v. Holder decision a slim majority reasoned that the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Law by a nearly unanimous majority was not based on law but political popularity. This seems a stretch for any concept of judicial restraint. Chief Justice Roberts outlined in his writing of the majority opinion how historical changes have altered the purpose of section four of the law. The suggestion that the Congress should see LIBBY page 5

We’re living through an era of stratification and wage stagnation DOUTHAT from page 4
warming to right now: a new version of the Dream Act, which would offer citizenship to illegal immigrants who arrived as children. This combination would probably poll well, minimize intra-Republican divisions and focus on the policy area, high-skilled immigration, where there is the strongest consensus about the benefits to the nation. It would also vindicate the Republican Party’s (often notional) commitment to offering incremental alternatives to bloated liberal bills. But such incrementalism would punt on the question of how to handle the bulk of the existing illegal-immigrant population, and thus wouldn’t be anything like the game changer sought by many Republican strategists worried about the Hispanic vote. And politically, it would have been much more clever months ago, before the Senate bill raised expectations for how sweeping a reform should be. In the shadow of RubioSchumer, a House that passed incremental bills and then refused to negotiate its way to something bigger might well receive the same kind of “do nothing” coverage as a House that did nothing at all. Hence the (quiet, for now) appeal of the second option, mentioned last week by The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein and The Huffington Post’s Jon Ward, in which the House would find a way to go along with a version of amnesty that either didn’t include the promise of citizenship or made the path so long and arduous that few
immigrants would take it. To its supporters, this combination would deliver illegal immigrants the security and stability that prolegalization activists are seeking, without running afoul of either the principled Republican desire to avoid rewarding people who have broken America’s laws, or the more cynical Republican desire not to have the newly legalized showing up to vote for Democrats.
But it, too, would come at a cost. We’re living through an era of stratification, a period of mass unemployment, an economic “recovery” in which working-class wages aren’t actually recovering. This is a strange climate in which to create — and then augment, via guest-worker programs — a permanent tier of explicitly second-class, mostly low-skilled residents, deliberately curtail their political leverage and then ask low-wage native workers to compete with them for jobs. And it’s a particularly strange climate for a Republican Party struggling to shed its “party of the rich” label to identify with such a policy, and give up one of the few issues where it has some credibility with working-class voters. The party faces risks whatever it does: killing comprehensive reform might further alienate Hispanics, as the conventional wisdom has it, but then again going along with Charles Schumer and a flood of corporate money might exacerbate the kind of “who’s looking out for me?” disaffection that kept many conservative-tilting, economically strapped voters from the polls in 2012. But a clever-sounding deal that legalizes immigrants as laborers but not as citizens risks disaster on both fronts: rejection by Hispanics as insufficient and ultimately insulting, and rejection by many of America’s tired, poor, huddled workers as another example of the political class’s indifference to their fate.
It’s clear from political posturing: Nothing of substance will be enacted by this Congress LIBBY from page 4
act to make the provision more relevant to current conditions would seem a rational solution, if it were possible for Congress to act on principle. Should the Congress act to insure the fundamental voting rights of every citizen? Yes. Will they? Most observers think not. Even more disturbing in this climate of legislative quagmire and judicial interpretive activism are other social issues that continue to divide our society. Recent state legislative restrictions on the availability of reproductive medical services suggest a near future challenge on the Roe v. Wade formula of women’s individual rights. There is evidence to cause concern that the Roberts Supreme Court might be willing to provide new leadership on this fundamental issue.

Michaud, Pingree: Federal agency to inspect rail facilities Daily Sun Staff Report The Federal Railroad Administration will inspect Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic Railways’ tracks, operations and equipment this week, following the multiple-fatality derailment in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, on July 6, according to a press release from U.S. Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree, D-Maine. “Following the tragedy in Lac-Megantic, safety must be our railroads’ top priority,” said Michaud. “Over the last week the Federal Railroad Administration has been in regular contact with my office. I appreciate their willingness to inspect Maine’s rail infrastructure for any safety weaknesses. I look forward to continued collaboration with the FRA to ensure we are doing all we can to prevent another disaster from occurring.” “With such a terrible loss of life not far from the border, I’m relieved the Federal Railroad Administration has stepped up to identify and address any safety issues here in Maine,” said Pingree. “The amount of oil being shipped through Maine by rail has skyrocketed over the last year. We owe it to the communities on those lines to make their safety a top priority.” This week, the FRA will inspect equipment, operations, and track of MMA lines in Maine, using both in-person inspections and an automatic track inspection car, the press release stated. Last week, Michaud and Pingree wrote to the FRA, as well as the National Transportation Safety Board and Department of Transportation, asking for a thorough review of rail infrastructure used to transport oil through Maine.
Father of missing Waterville toddler arrested in Portland Domestic violence assault charges stemmed from a July 6 incident involving ex-girlfriend, police say By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
Justin Dipietro, 26, of Waterville, the father of Ayla Reynolds, the toddler who was reported missing from her Waterville home in mid-December 2011, was arrested 11:15 p.m. Saturday, July 6 in Portland and charged with domestic violence assault, Portland police reported. Dipietro was taken into custody in the area of 88 Spring St., the Holiday Inn by the Bay, after a police lieutenant passing by observed him assault a woman, police said. Dipietro and the woman were arguing when he grabbed and pushed her, police Dipietro said. The victim was a 25-yearold Portland woman described as an ex-girlfriend of Dipietro. She was not injured in the assault, police said. Dipietro was released on bail. The incident happened on the street near the hotel, which was used as a landmark to describe the location, explained Assistant Police Chief Vern Malloch. The original citation didn’t appear in the police department’s weekly arrest log through a “techni-
cal glitch,” but media outlets learned of the incident and began calling, Malloch said. “We’ve been getting inundated with phone calls ... so we decided to just put a press release out. It’s not the kind of thing that we would normally put a press release out for,” Malloch said, but Dipietro’s notoriety warranted one to save on repeating the information to numerous news outlets, he added. Reynolds’ disappearance, first treated as a missing-persons case, turned into a criminal investigation. Family members reported seeing Ayla alive on Friday, Dec. 16, 2011. Ayla was living with her father, DiPietro, and she was reported missing Saturday morning, Dec. 17, officials said. DiPietro told police the toddler was last seen sleeping in her bed at about 10 p.m. on Dec. 16, according to police. Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, told reporters in 2012 that investigators had hit a wall with members of the DiPietro family. Authorities said DiPietro’s sister and his girlfriend also were in the Waterville home at the time. “The communication with Justin, his sister and his girlfriend have basically stopped,” McCausland said at the time. Asked if that’s frustrating, he said, “It’s been frustrating for police since December because we haven’t been able to find Ayla, and as I’ve stated all along, I believe those three individuals inside that home that night know things that they haven’t told us, and that is frustrating.” Still unsolved, the disappearance of Reynolds remains the focus of several blogs and Facebook pages.
Gubernatorial candidates list fundraising for 2014 election By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
Independent 2014 gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler, who narrowly lost to Republican Gov. Paul LePage in 2010, filed a campaign finance report showing $432,091 in cash contributions, according to a financial summary with the state. Cutler for Maine filed its first finance report for the 2014 campaign, listing contributions of $432,091, “40 percent more money than the amount reportedly raised by Democratic candidate Mike Michaud, a five-term Congressman,” Cutler reported Monday. U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, D-Maine, filed a report showing $313,530 in cash contributions. “I’m truly humbled by the enthusiasm I’m hear-
ing from people and the support I’ve received since I announced the formation of an exploratory committee a little more than two weeks ago,” Michaud said in a press release. “More than 1,100 people from every county in Maine have contributed to our efforts, and many more have signed up to volunteer. Their words of encouragement and financial support have been inspiring. It’s clear to me that Maine is ready for a change in Augusta, and Mainers are willing to work to make that change happen.” Michaud said he raised more than $300,000 in just 17 days for his exploratory committee for governor of Maine, “almost exclusively through online donations and personal contributions from individuals.” The preliminary fundraising total covers the
period from the day Michaud formed his exploratory committee on June 13 until midnight on June 30, he said. The Committee to Re-Elect Governor Paul LePage reported $215,606 in cash contributions in its filing. LePage filed his paperwork to become a candidate for re-election on Aug. 25, 2011, according to the state. The Steve Woods for Governor campaign reported no cash contributions and a $50,000 loan. Woods is a Democrat from Yarmouth. Filing reports are available from the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices (http://www.mainecampaignfinance.com/ Public/For_Public_QuickSearch.asp?Search=yes).

OBITUARY
Daniel “Dan” Liziewski, 52 GRAY — Daniel “Dan” Liziewski, 52, of Gray, Maine, died July 5, 2013 at The Gosnell Memorial Hospice House following a courageous 15-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Dan was born May 1, 1961, in Worcester, Mass., the son of Benjamin and Christine Liziewski. He was raised in Auburn and Monument Beach, Mass. Following graduation from Bourne High School in 1979, Dan enrolled in The Massachusetts Maritime Academy, where he graduated in 1983 among the top members of his class. Dan’s successful maritime career allowed him to travel to ports all over the world. He was introduced to his future wife, Sarah, through a fellow merchant mariner. The blind date in 1991 was the advent of a whole new adventure for him. Their wedding on March 21, 1992 at The Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine was a beautiful event and the “freak atmospheric disturbance” producing a foot of snow in the early morning hours provided a lovely backdrop with the ocean in the distance. Dan considered his greatest achievement to be his role as Dad to daughters Kathryn and Carolyn. His commitment to them was unmatched. Among their greatest memories are waking up to his silly morning songs, Summer days on the pontoon boat “Jeanette” at Sebago Lake, Christmas — he was a big kid at heart — and his unwavering support in everything they did and everything they wanted to become. As a friend appropriately said “Take solace knowing Dan gave more and took less, which is a quality we all hope to emulate.” Dan’s career in the Merchant Marine allowed him to be home for long stretches of time during which he thoroughly enjoyed being a husband, father, son, brother and –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
friend. It also took him away from home for several months at a time but we always felt he was just a phone call away and provided guidance and advice day or night. His family is profoundly proud of his distinguished career in the Merchant Marine. He obtained his Captain’s license in 1991 and became a mentor to hundreds of cadets and Junior Officers. His final job evaluation spoke of his “positive can do attitude” and his willingness to “ensure everything is done properly.” The outpouring of support Dan and his family received from the maritime industry during his illness was a testament to his esteem. Dan was a very proud member of the Catherine McAuley High School community. His volunteer efforts will distinguish him as one of a kind and he never hesitated to repair, replant, bake, or cook a pot of his famous chili. His family is forever indebted to the McAuley community for their steadfast support during his illness. Dan is survived by his wife of 21 years, daughter Kathryn (a sophomore at Worcester Polytechnic Institute), daughter Carolyn (a senior at Catherine McAuley High School), his mother of Pocasset, Mass., his sister Susan, her husband Dennis, and their daughters Devon and Brianna of Smithtown, New York. Dan had a special relationship with his mother-in-law, Ann Pierce of Falmouth. Survivors also include his brother-in-laws Robert and Bill Pierce and their families. He was predeceased by his father, Ben and special aunt Theresa Borowski. A Memorial Mass was celebrated at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 13th at St. Joseph’s Church, 673 Stevens Avenue in Portland, followed by a reception at Catherine McAuley High School. It was Dan’s wish to have a memorial fund established for his daughters. Memorial gifts may be made to The Kathryn and Carolyn Liziewski Education Fund c/o Jean Libby, VP, Bath Savings Bank, 239 US Route One, Falmouth, ME 04105. Dan’s family would like to acknowledge the compassion, support, and excellent care provided by the doctors and staff of Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and especially Dr. Kurt Ebrahim.

Brunswick man injured in I-295 rollover By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
FREEPORT — A 53-year-old man from Brunswick suffered extensive injuries when his vehicle veered off Interstate 295, rolled over and slammed into a rock ledge, in a single-vehicle crash Monday around 9:50 a.m., Maine State Police reported. Around milepost 25 northbound in the Freeport area, the man, whose name was not released, lost control of his 2010 Toyota Corolla and crashed, which left him pinned in the vehicle, according to Maine State Police Trooper Doug Cropper. Aerial rescue was attempted, with a helicopter landing on the interstate, and then called off. Traffic traveling northbound was backed up at least a mile, and some traffic was detoured during the rescue. Initially, a LifeFlight helicopter arrived at the scene to attempt transport because medical responders felt it was best to attempt aerial rescue due to the position of his neck, Cropper said. But due to the patient’s weight and limits when transporting by air, the subject was taken by ground ambulance, Cropper said. He was the sole occupant of the vehi-

cle, and no other vehicles were involved, he said. The man was transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where his injuries, which were considered non-life-threatening, included a compound frac-
ture of the left femur, Cropper said. Investigators don’t believe speed was a factor, but a medical condition may have contributed to the crash, Cropper said. The motorist was wearing a seat belt, police said.

Friendly Discount notes plans to expand Daily Sun Staff Report A co-manager of a discount store on Main Street in Westbrook announced that he will expend across the street after buying the former LeClerc’s. On June 25, Gunjan Patel purchased 925 Main St. in Westbrook (formerly LeClerc’s) from Pine State Auto and Marine, Patel reported. Patel is currently the co-manager at Friendly Discount across the street.
He said he has had so much demand from customers asking, “Why don’t you buy the garage across the street and sell gas?” that he decided to take the plunge. Patel had been looking at the empty landmark across the street for two and a half years. Now, Friendly Quick Mart will complement Friendly’s Discount instead of competing with them, offering the same prices. Friendly Quick Mart plans to open by Sept. 1.

Every day you are gaining strength. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re going to give your time away to the things that interest and fascinate you. You try to do so mindfully, but overly seductive electronics and media make this very challenging for you today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sure, maybe they are competing with you. But at least your friends and neighbors make you aspire to be your best self. You’ll walk that fine line between encouragement and competition today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can be afraid of something and want it at the same time. But if you’re going to get it, your want has to outweigh your fear. Immerse yourself in thoughts of what you want -- it will make you courageous. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ancient man regarded volcanoes as god’s anger. Modern man understands it’s just nature’s way of letting off pressure. But that doesn’t make it any less destructive. When you come across emotional volcanoes, flee the danger zone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You desire to become more self-sufficient, and you will. You only have to put more of yourself into the projects you know will forward your interests. You’ll benefit from being a bit more serious about this now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are successful in part for your ability to make snap decisions. However, this is a day to avoid jumping to conclusion or judgment. Wait until the whole story comes out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s some conflict that comes with the day. You feel as though you’re doing better in one area and worse in another. Just know that growth can be strange like this, but all is building in a positive way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love yourself enough to give yourself the things you want. It will take sacrifice. But be a good coach to yourself, the kind who keeps an eye to the

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, July 16, the 197th day of 2013. There are 168 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 16, 1973, during the Senate Watergate hearings, former White House aide Alexander P. Butterfield publicly revealed the existence of President Richard Nixon’s secret taping system. On this date: In 1790, a site along the Potomac River was designated the permanent seat of the United States government; the area became Washington, D.C. In 1862, Flag Officer David G. Farragut became the first rear admiral in the United States Navy. In 1912, New York gambler Herman Rosenthal, set to testify before a grand jury about police corruption, was gunned down by members of the Lennox Avenue Gang. In 1935, the first parking meters were installed in Oklahoma City. In 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb in the desert of Alamogordo, N.M. In 1951, the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger was first published by Little, Brown and Co. In 1964, as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination in San Francisco, Barry M. Goldwater said “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” and that “moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” In 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon. In 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq. In 1980, former California Gov. Ronald Reagan won the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Detroit. In 1981, singer Harry Chapin was killed when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer on New York’s Long Island Expressway. In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, died when their single-engine plane, piloted by Kennedy, plunged into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. Ten years ago: The Environmental Protection Agency announced it was starting big-money, long-term cleanups at ten Superfund toxic waste sites and putting ten other sites aside for later. Cuban-born “Queen of Salsa” Celia Cruz died in Fort Lee, N.J., at age 77. Five years ago: Republican John McCain addressed the annual convention of the NAACP, telling the civil rights group in Cincinnati he would expand education opportunities, partly through vouchers for low-income children to attend private schools. Israel freed notorious Lebanese militant Samir Kantar and four others after Hezbollah guerrillas handed over the bodies of two Israeli soldiers. One year ago: North Korea reshuffled its military, dismissing its army chief — a key mentor to young ruler Kim Jong Un — and promoting a little-known general to an important position in the million-man force. Singer Kitty Wells, whose hits such as “Making Believe” and “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” made her the first female superstar of country music, died at age 92.

Good for the husband for trying to save his marriage, but I’d like to explain his wife’s side of things. I was married for 28 years to a sex addict who tried therapy, relapsed many times and eventually gave up. I wonder whether “Loveless” realizes the intense emotional damage done to a wife who has been repeatedly lied to and cheated on. She needs more time than he expects to focus on herself and to rebuild intimacy. Has he truly apologized? Has he tried to see this through her eyes? Has he been willing to take tests for STDs to reassure her that her health is not in danger? What is he doing to make sure this never happens again? -- Been There

Dear Annie: After my bitter divorce, my son decided to live with his father in another state. I have spent thousands of dollars on airplane tickets, hotels, car rentals and restaurants. I have never forgotten my two grandchildren’s birthdays. Here’s the rub: To save money, I have traveled alone and stayed with my son. Recently, I stayed for four days. After traveling 1,000 miles, I spent two hours in a shuttle because my son did not pick me up at the airport as promised. When I arrived at their house, there was nothing to eat. I had to ask my son to make something, as I do not feel comfortable in their kitchen. My grandson gave up his bed for me, and the room was a mess (to say the least). His bathroom sink and tub were clogged, and my daughter-in-law expected me to clean them. I also had to ask for fresh towels. On one of the four nights, they left me alone while my daughter-in-law went to a concert with her girlfriends and stayed overnight, my grandchildren had sleepovers, and my son went to a bar (he is a hardworking alcoholic). When my granddaughter showed me her 8th grade graduation book, she talked about her loving family and mentioned her grandparents on her mom’s side. (They live close.) She never once mentioned my husband or me. Do I continue to travel all these miles for this type of abuse, or do I go only when I can afford a hotel and car rental? They seem to have busy lives and make no time for this grandma. -- I Have Feelings, Too. Dear Feelings: It’s difficult to be the grandparent who lives far away. It’s expensive to travel, so those visits are infrequent. It takes effort to maintain a close relationship, and it sounds as if your son and his wife prefer not to extend themselves, which is sad.

Portland school district says military recruiters are admitted By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
A public spat over military recruiters in Maine’s public schools took another turn Monday when the Portland Public Schools issued a press release stating that Portland’s four public high schools all allow military recruiters in uniform to speak with students about military careers, contradicting an assertion by Republicans and Gov. Paul LePage. Republican legislators in Maine raised a furor after 19 Democrats last Wednesday changed their votes to defeat LD 1503, a bill allowed military recruiters the same access to Maine public schools as civilian career recruiters and would have allowed them to wear their uniforms while visiting schools. Republican Caulk Gov. LePage released a statement rebuking House Democrats after they voted to block the bill. Then, when LePage attended a Commanders Call — a Thursday morning meeting with representatives LePage from Maine veteran’s service organizations — LePage expressed his “disappointment of some Democrats who blocked the bill from moving forward,” according to a press release from his office. In his weekly radio message on Friday, LePage again mentioned the military recruitment legislation, stating, “Military recruiters told our Administration several schools in southern Maine only allow minimal access of recruiters. Those high schools brought to our attention were Oak Hill, Noble, Wells, York, Kennebunk, Gorham and Yarmouth. We also were informed that two additional high schools, Portland and Yarmouth, refused uniformed recruiters
Conservative political commentator Ray Richardson has linked to an email (http://rayrichardson.net/ letter-from-military-recruiter), a portion of which is shown above, that purports military recruiters face limitations on access, particularly in Southern Maine schools. (COURTESY IMAGE)
from stepping on campus. Democrats have claimed there is no problem, but in the same breath some Democrats have said uniformed military service members may intimidate high school students. So, the father or mother who arrives in uniform to pick up their child from school is threatening? The thought is preposterous.” LePage added that one Democrat even said he’s “more inclined to believe our local superintendents than a military recruiter.” LePage said, “I’d bet my life on the word of a recruiter over a superintendent any day of the week and twice on Sunday.” Portland Schools Superintendent
Emmanuel Caulk said Monday, “We want our students to know about the full range of postsecondary opportunities available to them, including military service.” Caulk said Portland High School, Deering High School, Casco Bay High School and Portland Arts and Technology High School all allow uniformed military recruiters into their buildings to speak with students, and each year, PATHS invites military recruiters to participate in its college and career fair, which is attended by students from several of the high schools as well as Portland Adult Education students.
Caulk said several of the other high schools singled out by LePage for allegedly limiting access to military recruiters also disputed that claim. Portland High School Principal Deborah Migneault said that military recruiters “have a table set up in or outside of the guidance office” at Portland High. She met with the Marine recruiter at the end of last year, and he also met with school guidance counselors. Casco Bay High School Principal Derek Pierce said military recruiters “set up at a table in our hallway, just like college recruiters,” and they also meet individually with students. Deering allows uniformed military recruiters to set up a table in the rotunda outside of the cafeteria and interested students stop by to ask questions, the school district reported. Tracey Moore, a Deering guidance counselor, participated in a program for educators at Parris Island, South Carolina last October. She learned about Marine Corp basic training, graduation, and post-training career opportunities so that she could provide information to interested students, the school district press release stated. PATHS includes military recruiters along with representatives from colleges and Maine businesses in its annual “Thinking Outside the Box” career and college fair. Recruiters also are allowed to come to the school to talk to students at other times. On Friday, Democratic Senate President Justin Alfond of Portland released a statement in response to the LePage radio address, challenging the governor’s assertion that his administration “has worked hard to change the attitude within government.” President Alfond said, “The governor certainly has changed the tone in Augusta. He has made politics one of the most contentious and divided in our state’s history. He has vetoed more bills than any other governor, he has lobbed insults that require censorship on TV, and he has continued to put his stubbornness ahead of the best interests of Maine people. We deserve better than this.” LePage has accused Democrats of playing politics and of expressing through their vote an anti-military sentiment dating to the era of the Vietnam War.

prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, who had been listed as having gone on hunger strike had quit participating in the protest, accelerating an apparent downward trend since the start of Ramadan last week. The spokesman, Lt. Col. Samuel House, said in an e-mail that as of Sunday, 81 of the 166 prisoners were still listed as taking part in the hunger strike. That figure was down from 96 on Saturday, 102 on Friday, 104 on Thursday and 106 on Wednesday, the number at which participation in the protest had peaked and plateaued. But David Remes, a defense lawyer who represents several Guantánamo detainees in habeas corpus proceedings, expressed skepticism in an e-mail and said he wanted to talk to his clients before drawing any conclusions about what the military was reporting. “Perhaps the authorities finally made hunger striking such a horrendous experience that some men, at least, are dropping out,” Mr. Remes said. “Perhaps
some men feel the hunger strike has achieved its goals by forcing Guantánamo back onto the national agenda and jump-starting the transfer process. There are still other ways to read the numbers. Until we speak with our clients, we can only speculate.” The military’s number for the subset of participants who are forced to eat a liquid nutritional supplement through gastric tubes inserted into their noses while they are strapped into restraint chairs if they refuse to eat, 45, has remained unchanged since July 2. Last week, at the start of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month in which Muslims fast during daylight hours, the military began moving compliant detainees who were not participating in the hunger strike back into communal living conditions, where they could pray together. The bulk of the detainees in communal conditions had been forced into individual-cell lockdown in a raid in April. The drop in hunger strike participants began soon afterward.

noon. Portland Public Library: “Sam Halpern will appear at the Brown Bag Lecture Series on Wednesday, July 17 at noon in the Rines Auditorium to speak about his book ‘A Far Piece to Canaan.’ ‘A Far Piece to Canaan’ is a warm and nostalgic novel from an unexpected source: It is Sam Halpern’s salty paternal wisdom that made Justin Halpern’s ‘S--t My Dad Says’ a phenomenal bestseller. Inspired by Sam Halpern’s childhood in rural Kentucky, ‘A Far Piece to Canaan’ tells the story of Samuel Zelinsky, a celebrated but troubled former professor who reluctantly returns after his wife’s death to the Kentucky hills where he lived as a child to reconnect with long-buried memories and make good on a forgotten promise.” http://www.portlandlibrary.com

The question is, why? Which states benefitted and which states suffered? And why does it matter? ‘How Money Walks’ explores the power of states’ tax policies to either attract or repel economic growth.

Reiki master tries to demystify healing practice By Timothy Gillis
SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
Reiki master Pamela Miles will speak at the Portland Public Library tonight at 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The first half hour is free and open to the public. “It’s an introduction to Reiki, a healing practice,” Miles said. “It’s for balancing, so it can help people addressing many different medical situations or those who are healthy and want to stay that way.” After the public session, Miles will then meet with local practitioners to help them employ the Reiki technique. “It’s a completely unstandardized, unregulated field so it’s hard to know who is credible,” said Miles, an author who has assisted Dr. Oz in his operating room, and demonstrated Reiki treatment on his show. She said she hopes to help those in the field communicate about the practice in a clear way. “There are many who practice, but cannot speak clearly about it,” she said. “I’ve worked in medicine for 20 years, so I’ve had lots of opportunity to speak to people who are critical thinkers about something outside of their radar and help them make sense of it, to see the benefits it has for their patients.” Miles referred to documentation that Reiki prac-

tice can improve heart rates and blood pressure, and is also very useful to address pain, anxiety and depression. “It may not be the only thing that people need, but it can be something that can helps them immediately. Once they feel better, then the doctor can see what else needs to be done.” Her goal for the public audience was to help them
learn how Reiki can assist them and to know if someone is qualified to administer it. For local practitioners, she hopes to help them know what the public is looking for and how to communicate that in a way that is not making false claims. Miles is a Reiki master and integrative health care consultant in New York City, practicing Reiki since 1986. She pioneered the integration of Reiki treatment into conventional medicine, and remains the foremost authority in the field, according to a press release. Miles is the author of “Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide” and numerous peer-reviewed medical papers. She has created Reiki programs in hospitals, collaborated on medical research, and presented Reiki in medical schools, including Harvard and Yale. She is internationally recognized for her ability to express Reiki with clarity and elegance, according to Jeff Hotchkiss, a Reiki master in Portland who works with EldersBloom, a local non-profit group. “I heard her in 2006, when she was in Portland on her book tour,” he said. “She speaks very thoughtfully and with great clarity on a subject that many people might find mystifying on the outside. She demystifies it, so that’s why she was invited here.”
