Civil War Night at the Ballpark

7 p.m. “The Portland Sea Dogs have partnered with the

Pejepscot Historical Society and MPBN to host Civil War Night at the Ballpark on Wednesday, July 3 at 7 p.m. when the Sea Dogs host the Trenton Thunder (Yankees) at Hadlock Field. The night is to pay tribute to Maine’s rich civil war history on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. ‘Joshua L. Chamberlain’ will be throwing out the ceremonial first-pitch. Civil War re-enactors from the 3rd Maine Regiment and the 15th Alabama will be present at the ballpark. Company A, 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry is a nonprofit educational and living history organization dedicated to preserving the memory of Maine’s role in the American Civil War. Through living history events, battle reenactments, and educational presentations they work to teach others about what life was like for Maine soldiers and civilians during the years 1861-1865. They portray Company A of the 3rd Maine, a regiment recruited early in the War from several communities of Maine’s Kennebec River Valley. The regiment was therefore known as the ‘Kennebec Regiment.’ Company A was formed from a Bath, Maine militia unit called the Bath City Grays, which mustered into federal service on June 4, 1861. The Maine Rebels are a reenacting group that portrays the 15th Alabama Infantry, Company G, with most of its members in Maine. The 15th Alabama is the regiment that fought the 20th Maine Infantry on the slopes of Little Round Top in the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The 15th Alabama’s war record is very distinguished and they saw service at many of the significant battles of the war. Chamberlain Ale brewed by Shipyard Brewing will be available for sale at the Shipyard Grille located on the third base side of the stadium. Throughout the game will be Civil War trivia with prizes provided by the Pejepscot Historical Society. MPBN Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz will be on hand to lead the Sea Dog crowd through the seventh inning stretch with Take Me Out to the Ballgame over the stadium loudspeakers. Following the game, MPBN will be showing the ‘Sixteenth Maine at Gettysburg,’ a new documentary revealing the story of Maine’s 16th Volunteer Infantry Regiment, on the stadium video board.” 879-9500 or online at www.seadogs.com.

Solving a viral mystery

(NY Times) — As the scientists peered into the darkness, their headlamps revealed an eerie sight. Hundreds of eyes glinted back at them from the walls and ceiling. They had discovered, in a, long-abandoned village half-buried in sand near a remote town in southwestern Saudi Arabia, a roosting spot for bats. The search for bats is part of an investigation into a deadly new viral disease that has drawn scientists from around the world to Saudi Arabia. The virus, first detected there last year, is known to have infected at least 77 people, killing 40 of them, in eight countries. The illness, called MERS, for Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome, is caused by a coronavirus, a relative of the virus that caused SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), which originated in China and caused an international outbreak in 2003 that infected at least 8,000 people and killed nearly 800. As the case count climbs, critical questions about MERS remain unanswered. Scientists do not know where it came from, where the virus exists in nature, why it has appeared now, how people are being exposed to it, or whether it is becoming more contagious and could erupt into a much larger outbreak, as SARS did. The disease almost certainly originated with one or more people contracting the virus from animals — probably bats — but scientists do not know how many times that kind of spillover to humans has occurred, or how likely it is to keep happening.

Egypt’s army issues ultimatum to Morsi ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

CAIRO (NY Times) — Egypt’s top generals on Monday gave President Mohamed Morsi 48 hours to respond to a wave of mass protests demanding his ouster, declaring that if he did not, then the military leaders themselves would impose their own “road map” to resolve the political crisis. Their statement, in the form of a communiqué read over state television, plunged the military back into the center of political life just 10

months after it handed full power to Morsi as Egypt’s first democratically elected leader. The communiqué was issued following an increasingly violent weekend of protests by millions of Egyptians angry with Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood backers. It came hours after protesters destroyed the Brotherhood’s headquarters in Cairo. In tone and delivery, the communiqué echoed the announcement the Supreme

Council of the Armed Forces issued 28 months ago to oust President Hosni Mubarak and seize full control of the state. But the scope and duration of the military’s latest threat of political intervention — and its consequences for Egypt’s halting transition to democracy — were not immediately clear, in part because the generals took pains to emphasize their reluctance to take over and the inclusion of civilians in any next steps.

Arizona blaze that killed France, Germany piqued 19 firefighters rages on over spying scandal PRESCOTT, Ariz. (NY Times) — As a deadly, wind-driven wildfire continued to rage out of control in central Arizona on Monday, crews recovered the last of the 19 bodies of the members of an elite firefighting crew, who died after being overtaken by flames while battling the blaze, officials said. A wildfire burned homes near Yarnell, Ariz. on Sunday. The wildfire killed 19 members of a fire crew near the town. The bodies were taken in a procession to the medical examiner’s office in Phoenix, Fire Chief

Every Tues. Night is Benefit Night at Flatbread

Dan Fraijo of Prescott said. Their names have not yet been released. The blaze they were working to extinguish, the Yarnell Hill Fire, near the town of Yarnell, about 80 miles northwest of Phoenix, has grown to some 8,374 acres and has destroyed more than 200 buildings, the authorities said Monday. Fire officials said they expected a difficult day with sudden, heavy rains and unpredictable shifting winds, similar to those that led to the deaths of the firefighters on Sunday.

LONDON (NY Times) — The leaders of France and Germany added their voices on Monday to the growing outrage over reports that the United States has been spying on its European Union allies, raising new suggestions that talks on a new trans-Atlantic trade agreement may be at risk. President François Hollande of France issued some of the harshest language from a European leader, telling reporters during a visit in northwestern France that “we cannot accept this kind of behavior between partners and allies.” He said the spying should “immediately stop.” In Berlin, a spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Steffen Seibert, echoed Mr. Hollande’s anger over the eavesdropping. “We’re not in the cold war anymore,” he told reporters. Hollande hinted that talks on a new trans-Atlantic trade pact, scheduled to start next week, should be delayed until questions over the spying issue were resolved.

We are the pea The political air lies thick and heavy upon us, like the subtropical wedge of atmospheric sludge that has bogged down the northeast USA for weeks of soupy gray days when there is nothing to do but wonder when things will become unstuck. If the world is an organism, something is wrong with its blood. That blood is money, which allows the “developed” nations to run their advanced technoindustrial economies. Only the “money” is not exactly what we suppose it is, that is, colored paper coupons representing claims on future work or tangible collateral. The “money” is a matrix of counterparty entanglements so abstruse and impenetrable that all the vicars of Christendom (plus the mullahs of Islam, the monks of Mahayana, and the Op-Ed flunkies at The New York Times) would not avail to describe its metaphysical substance. Rather, a cosmic shell ––––– game is being played, and we Kunstler.com are the pea. Unlike other commentators, I don’t see this as a conspiracy of one-percenters, Rothschilds, Bilderbergers, and United Nations intriguers. Rather, it is just a sticky pass in world history. Things have gone a certain way for us for a long time, and now they can’t, and the inertia from all those decades of doing and being what we were persists in the illusion of motion, like the sound of a truck that still rings in your ears after it has passed by. So we, the pea, sit in the dark under our cosmic walnut shell, waiting to see what happens next. When the Great Bernanke spoke not long ago, an ominous rattling was heard throughout the banking system as of things shaking loose. Even if nobody quite understood exactly what money was anymore, an intimation wafted on the still, muggy air that there was liable to be less of it, at least in the form that The Wall Street Journal pretended to understand — a particular digital carry-trade between the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve. Markets puked at Bernanke’s mild utterances as though he was Thor flinging a thunderous hammer at them. The gold market, already punch-drunk, went reeling into the roadside weeds, covered indecorously in its own vomit — leading many to suppose that gold would soon be as precious as sheetrock. Then, the Great Bernanke, via subordinates, tapered his

Supreme Court cases on the horizon The end of term announcements of the U.S. Supreme Court fulfilled expectations and pointed the direction of near future struggles with social issues. In the most important decision on application of section five of the Voting Rights law, the majority opinion of the court considered the mechanism of requiring Justice Department approval before some jurisdictions could make changes to voter requirements to have become outdated. Some supporters of the decision claim the standards use fifty year old data; opponents point to the most recent attempts to restrict voting opportunities in the most recent election as evidence that the prescreening requirement is still needed. The court’s opinion clearly points to Congress to tackle the issue. This is the text book example of checks and balances in the operation of government as outlined in our Constitution. It would be a perfect solution if it were not so laughable in the present version of our national legislature. The state legislatures in our country that feel most threatened by the changing demographics of

Robert Libby –––––

One Man’s Island the electorate have demonstrated a new willingness to make voting more difficult for some portions of the public. Cynics argue that the restrictions or hurdles to registration are attempts to suppress the vote of groups unlikely to support current administrations. Ending early voting, requiring photo identification, limiting polling places make voting more of a task for elderly, handicapped, and impoverished voters. Not allowing certain photo identification like college I D cards adds a layer of burden to voting to another group of voters. In the 2012 general election huge billboards were erected in some neighborhoods warning that voter fraud was a felony and could lead to serious fines and imprisonment; signs were posted with the wrong date for voting; many of the billboards

were written in Spanish and placed in prominently Hispanic neighborhoods. The great problem is a judicial remedy after the election does nothing to address the abuse, the denial of a fundamental civil right. The original Voting Rights Act of 1965 was spearheaded through the Congress by Lyndon Johnson; many historians considered his participation critical to the success of the legislation that ended a long tradition of voting discrimination. Recent performance by Congressional leadership makes one skeptical of effectiveness in the one hundred thirteenth session. The current Congress is most marked by its obstruction and inability to create any meaningful legislation. More troubling than the current decision is conjecture of how this decision might resonate in future court decisions. Many socially conservative states are currently enacting legislation to restrict access to abortion procedures as a method of restricting the Constitutionally protected right of women to terminate pregnancies. see LIBBY page 5

President Obama’s climate change policies long overdue for the nation Editor, On Tuesday, President Obama announced his commitment to cut carbon pollution, and I thank him for that. His comprehensive plan will set carbon limits on existing and new power plants, increase energy efficiency programs, prepare the country for the impacts of climate change, and put the United States at the forefront of environmental stewardship. With carbon dioxide already surpassing 400 parts per million, Obama’s pledge could not have come sooner. The Arctic ice is rapidly shrinking, Midwest crops are failing due to weather woes, and the twelve hottest years in recorded history have come from the past fifteen years. Extreme weather events have increased, and they are costly in terms of both money and lives. It is scary to imagine how much further damage we may incur if we do not put a cap on the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and invest in renewable energy sources. It’s time to recognize that we don’t have to choose between the economy and the environment. There is still much to be done, and the President needs as much support as possible to combat climate change. He announced his commitment to do his part, and so should we. Sincerely, Xuan Du Portland

Corroded electric pole on Congress Street could pose a threat to public, reader warns Editor, Recently, while my son and I were walking along Congress Street in Portland, I noticed a badly corroded electric pole. As is seen in the picture, almost half of the part of the pole that is connected to the pavement is destroyed. Therefore, this pole is very vulnerable and may easily collapse. Such a collapse would be very dangerous as the pole might hit people or cars while carrying live broken wires. This pole is located in front of number 284 on Congress Street and it is close to the Maine Medical Center-Family Medicine. As corrosion is a likely problem in a coastal city like Portland, a thorough and periodical inspection of similar facilities should be in order. Finally, planning for using corrosion resistant designs should be considered as a long-term solution for the aforementioned problem. Mehrdaad Ghorashi, Ph.D., P.E.

Now look for a ruling on personal privacy LIBBY from page 4

The original Roe v. Wade decision provides a definition of fetal viability that like section five of the Voting Rights Act is fifty years old. If as is likely the Supreme Court accepts a case on the issue of abortion in the next term, might the newer understanding of viability be an issue? Perhaps pharmaceutical advances will intervene to change the equation of pro-life and pro-choice debate. Still it is ironic that the faction trying to be identified with individual rights is so interested in ordering

women how to use their bodies. Looming on the horizon is a constitutional interpretation of the fundamental right of privacy and the expectation of privacy. Standards of search and acceptable evidence are rapidly evolving with the rise of digital technology. The coming tests of the improvability of our union for the common good will be fascinating. (One Man’s Island columnist Robert Libby of Chebeague Island is a teacher, writer, organic gardener, executive director of the Maine Center for Civic Education.)

a cosmic shell game is being played, and we are the pea KUNSTLER from page 4

tapering talk and a nervous, tentative, march forward resumed into the summer pea soup of events. Here we are, waiting, waiting in the murk, for the sound of shoes dropping. If you listen carefully enough, you can hear a few things in motion distantly. The mobs roistering in surprising places — Sweden, Turkey, Brazil — ought to unnerve even the quants immersed in their charts and auguries. Something wicked this way emanates from Japan. It has the outline of a political death-wish and is being played out with the sharp instruments of capital. The Japanese, I suspect, have at least had enough of uncertainty and have elected to move toward resolution, whatever that may hold. One thing it will mean is that the hands of bankers elsewhere around the world will be forced by what Japan does. Interest rates, for example, do not exist in exquisite isolation but only in relation to other things, most particularly that money earlier alluded to, of which nobody knows the value. The answer to that may lie in the riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma known as derivatives. My own guess is that we’ll discover the value of gold is not equivalent to its weight in sheetrock. The third quarter of 2013 might go down in history as the great moment of price re-discovery in a world that thought — for a while — that the price of things can be whatever you say it is. Historians of the future, squatting in the plastic and silicon midden-heaps of

bygone technocracy, may note that FASB Rule 157 provoked a four-year psychotic episode of worldwide accounting fraud in which anything could mean anything. That only goes on so long until civilizations shudder and fall. The pea under the walnut shell can’t see much outside, but it can certainly feel the earth tremble.

Police remind residents fireworks not allowed in Portland Daily Sun Staff Report With the Fourth of July looming, Portland officers are going to be keeping an eye to the sky. The Portland Police Department is reminding residents that the possession and use of fireworks in the city limits is illegal, even though it’s allowed in other parts of Maine. Chief Michael Sauschuck said the Fourth of July is the beginning for people using fireworks in the city and he thinks it will be a busy few months. When the Legislature lifted the ban on fireworks, Sauschuck said the number of calls exploded. “We certainly had a sharp increase in fireworks

usage,” he said, and officers are expecting to see calls at the same level as last year. In the inaugural year of legalized fireworks in Maine, the Portland Police Department received 90 fireworks-related calls on July 4, 2012, according to the department, and fireworks calls accounted for 29 percent of the total number of calls for service logged that day. The department received 309 calls for service. The number of fireworks-related calls showed a sharp increase from 2011. The department received four calls for service that were fireworks-related on July 4, 2011, out of a total of 229 calls.

From January to July 2012, the department received 299 fireworks calls, while in 2011 they received 32 fireworks-related calls during the whole year. The City Council passed a ban on consumer fireworks in 2011 after the Legislature passed a law that legalized the sale and possession of most commercial-grade fireworks in Maine. Anyone who violates the city’s ordinance could receive a fine of at least $200. With large events like the Fourth of July, Sauschuck said officers will be focusing a lot of attention on the events, and fireworks issues are a component of that.

Munjoy Hill resident Carmona to explore running for city council Daily Sun Staff Reports A seat on the City Council that is being vacated by incumbent John Anton already has one person eying it. Ralph Carmona, a resident of Munjoy Hill, announced Monday that he is considering running for the at-large council seat in the November election. Carmona said he’s been encouraged to run by his friends, civic leaders and business owners, and took out nomination papers. “I’ve been active in trying to make a difference in Portland: I’ve worked with the Democratic Party, worked with the immigrant community, promoted celebrations of Cesar Chavez, and established a community committee to support a viable and neighborhood-friendly Arts Center on the St. Lawrence Church property,” Carmona said, in a statement. “I believe that being an elected servant will increase my ability to make a difference in Portland.” Carmona moved to Portland in 2010 and serves on the Portland Police Chief’s Community PolicAre You READY to take control of your health?

He’s also a Carmona member of the Unitarian Universalist First Parish of Portland, the Portland NAACP, the Maine Irish Heritage Center, Portland Trails, Greater Portland Landmarks, the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Natural Resources Council of Maine, the Museum of Art, the Maine Historical Society and the Friends of the Eastern Promenade. The Maine Global Institute was established by Carmona in 2011 and he serves as the executive director. The organization’s goal is making Maine more inviting to the immigrant community, according to a press release.

Carmona ran for mayor in 2011 and lost to Michael Brennan. “My final decision — to run or not to run for Council — won’t be easy,” he said. “I will have to balance the challenges of a campaign and serving as an elected official with other personal and public priorities before I make a final decision.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Children may suddenly notice they have bigger feet, but their hands and heads are bigger, too. Like a child growing into an adult, things are happening for you little by little and every part at once. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Socializing is like a dance, and you have a knack for tuning in to other people’s rhythms. You sidestep when appropriate, and you know when to push or pull back. You’re a beautiful dancer! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A line from a song goes, “If it wasn’t for disappointment, I’d have no appointments.” But it’s high time you stop keeping that particular rendezvous and make a date with hopefulness instead. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 2). Your efforts to freshen up your style will change what you project visually and verbally. Financial luck and professional opportunity come through a new friend in August. November is your chance to break through a limitation that’s held you back for years. December is the most romantic month. Capricorn and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 38, 11 and 24.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As the saying goes, “From an acorn grows a mighty oak.” But acorns need sunlight and plenty of water to take root. Be sure your little idea is getting all the tending it needs to grow into a big idea. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Like a cosmetic advertiser, life might try to convince you that what’s in the bottle will make you beautiful for $100. Do your research, though, because there’s a $3 version that’s just as effective. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know the truth when you hear it. It’s that spontaneous bit of information blurted from out of the blue. Believing one true thing will change your whole day for the better. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The ocean of your life is bright blue and definitely enchanting. A shark will shout, “Come on in! The water’s fine!” This might be quite a novelty, but be wary: A talking shark is still very much a shark. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t be too afraid to make the wrong choice. Wrong choices lead to right choices. Bonus: They make your life and work complex, informed and beautiful along the way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re an artist honing your aesthetic. Maybe you don’t relate to these terms. Perhaps you doubt your own taste. Still, you can’t deny that you feel creative. What do you want things to look like? You’ll make it so. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). An old joke: Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. But don’t forget that time can be a banana, too. If you never peel it and open yourself up to new experiences, you’ll never taste its riches. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re catching vibes that people don’t even know they’re sending. You read micro facial expressions and shifts of body language like an expert and learn all you want to know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People who say they need a fast answer or they’ll withdraw their offer are using scarcity tactics. You don’t have to fall for this. Be shrewd. Buy time before you buy anything else.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, July 2, the 183rd day of 2013. There are 182 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 2, 1963, President John F. Kennedy met Pope Paul VI at the Vatican, the first meeting between a Catholic U.S. chief executive and the head of the Roman Catholic Church. On this date: In 1776, the Continental Congress passed a resolution saying that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” In 1812, Connecticut Gov. Roger Griswold declared his state’s militia would not serve in the war against Britain, reflecting New Englanders’ opposition to the conflict. In 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau at the Washington railroad station; Garfield died the following September. (Guiteau was hanged in June 1882.) In 1926, the United States Army Air Corps was created. In 1937, aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to make the first round-the-world flight along the equator. In 1943, Bing Crosby and the Ken Darby Singers recorded “Sunday, Monday or Always” for Decca Records. In 1961, author Ernest Hemingway shot himself to death at his home in Ketchum, Idaho. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a sweeping civil rights bill passed by Congress. In 1973, actress Betty Grable, 56, died in Santa Monica, Calif. In 1982, Larry Walters of San Pedro, Calif., used a lawn chair equipped with 45 helium-filled weather balloons to rise to an altitude of 16,000 feet; he landed eight miles away in Long Beach. In 1997, actor James Stewart died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 89. In 2002, American adventurer Steve Fossett became the first person to fly a balloon solo around the world as he returned to western Australia. Ten years ago: Palestinian police marched into Bethlehem, taking control of the ancient West Bank city after Israel withdrew under a U.S.backed peace plan. Vancouver was awarded the 2010 Winter Olympics. Five years ago: Colombian military spies tricked leftist rebels into freeing 15 hostages: Ex-presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, three U.S. military contractors, and 11 Colombian policemen and soldiers. Police in Randolph, Vt., unearthed the body of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett from a makeshift grave, ending a weeklong search. (The girl’s uncle, Michael Jacques (JAKES), has pleaded not guilty to rape and murder.) One year ago: Jim Yong Kim began his new job as president of the World Bank, promising to immediately focus on helping poor countries navigate a fragile global economy. The U.S. Justice Department said British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline would pay $3 billion in fines for criminal and civil violations involving 10 drugs taken by millions of people.

Mike’s Auto & Light Truck Service WE HAVE MOVED to 235 ST. JOHNS STREET

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have a lifelong friend who, over the past 10 years, has gotten so steeped in her church that she has become unbearable. She tells me constantly (bragging is more like it) about how her God has blessed her and her family with their new house, all her lovely grandchildren, and getting her together with her current husband (they met online after two divorces). She says she has received everything she has prayed for and goes on about what an amazing job God has done for her family. I mean, it’s getting hard to listen to. I don’t want to sound sour, but my circumstances are vastly different, and she knows it. I lost my husband to homicide, and my son passed away at a young age. It seems everything in my life has been an ice-cream cone in the dirt. After one too many losses, I figured there was no God and have given up on religion. I can’t help but be jealous of her good fortune, yet I always reply by saying how happy I am for her. Still, it seems as if she is trying to rub my nose in it. I keep my mouth shut as she goes on and on about how God is blessing her daily. Do you have any ideas short of scrapping the 60-year-old friendship? -- Friendship Woes Dear Friendship: You might remind her that “the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.” She has every reason to be grateful for her blessings, but shoving them in your face is ungracious and shows a lack of consideration for your circumstances. Perhaps this is her misguided attempt to bring you into her religious circle, but it is not working. Tell her gently that you are certain she doesn’t intend to hurt you by constantly boasting about her blessings, but you would appreciate it if she would stop before it becomes too much to bear. Dear Annie: My only child just graduated high school. Her

summer is full of parties, working and having fun with her friends. This includes staying out later on weekday evenings. As the only parent, I work full time and need to be in bed by a decent time. I don’t want to be awakened by her coming home or, worse, worrying about whether she’s OK. She’s a great girl with a good head on her shoulders. But as a widow, I know firsthand that bad things can happen to the people you love. How do I deal with this new wrinkle as my daughter teeters on the brink of adulthood? She still needs rules and guidance. I don’t want to be overprotective. Is there a compromise that will put my mind at ease and let her enjoy her summer? -- Mom Dear Mom: You are smart to anticipate these problems and understand the pitfalls. First, if your daughter has a job, she, too, needs to get some rest. Discuss this with her. Explain the problem from your perspective, and let her weigh in. Work out a “contract,” in which she agrees to respond promptly to your calls or texts and to call if she cannot get home safely, and you agree to pick her up, etc. But you cannot protect her from everything, Mom, and in the near future, you will have no control over it anyway. It will help if you train yourself in the difficult task of letting go. Dear Annie: Your reply to “Need Help in California” was right on. My cousin has been married to her first cousin for more than 50 years. They have raised four healthy, intelligent kids who have subsequently given birth to healthy, intelligent grandkids. Our extended family may have fretted a bit at first, but we loved them and noticed immediately that they were a great match. They still are. -- California Cousin Now in Hawaii
