Facebook introduces search

MENLO PARK, Calif. (NY Times) — Facebook is an excellent tool for certain kinds of social interaction. With a couple of clicks, you can share a cute photo of your newborn baby. But just try finding that photo of Mom and Dad in front of the Eiffel Tower during their 2008 trip to Paris, or the name of that lovely bistro nearby that they mentioned in a status update. Odds are, you would have to plow through a lot of old posts and photos to dig out that information, if you could find it at all.

Now, Facebook is trying to make it easier to find that lost photo or restaurant recommendation and unearth other information buried within your social network with a tool it calls Graph Search.

On Monday, the company will roll out the feature to its several hundred million users in the United States and to others who use the American English version of the site.

Other languages will follow.

Developing a sophisticated search feature is vital to Facebook’s long-term success, both to deepen users’ engagement and to make it more appealing to advertisers.

Experts say that Facebook’s technical achievement so far is impressive.

Privacy could still be an issue, however, as more user data becomes easily accessible.

Also, the feature is dependent on Facebook users volunteering more information about their likes and dislikes.

SAYWHAT...

“

The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.”

— Mark Zuckerberg

Army kills 51, deepening crisis in Egypt ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

CAIRO (NY Times) — Soldiers and police officers fired on hundreds of supporters of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt’s ousted Islamist president, as they prayed before dawn on Monday during a protest outside the facility where he is believed to be detained, sharply escalating the nearly week-old crisis convulsing the country and further dimming any hope for a political reconciliation.

At least 51 civilian demonstrators were killed and more than 300 were wounded,

all or almost all of them by gunfire, health officials said. Dozens of witnesses said the soldiers and police officers had opened fire unprovoked, an assertion that was immediately challenged by the military authorities.

Spokesmen for the army and the police said in a news conference held to defend their use of deadly force that they were attacked first, and that two soldiers and two policemen had also been killed, although witnesses said one of the policemen was killed by a soldier’s gunfire.

It was by far the deadliest violence here since the final days of President Hosni Mubarak in January 2011 when his riot police fought their last stand against the protesters demanding his ouster.

But whereas that battle signaled the fall of a dictator, the significance of Monday’s carnage was as bitterly contested as the future of Egypt has now become since military commanders deposed Morsi last Wednesday after one year in office.

Navy basic training now Derailment in Quebec underlines oil debate targets sexual assault NAVAL STATION GREAT LAKES, Ill. (NY Times) — On day three, week one of Navy boot camp here, recruits sat through a two-hour session on sexual harassment and sexual assault — including a warning that alcohol often plays a significant role, but is never a defense.

“Do you think ‘Ms. Sloppy Drunk’ can give consent for sexual intercourse?” Petty Officer First Class Vince Turner, just back from an 11-month deployment in the Mediterranean, asked 100 recruits in a recent class.

A.T. Hutchins, LLC

It was the third time in the opening days of an eight-week boot camp that recruits were confronted with the problem of sexual assault in the military. On the bus ride from O’Hare International Airport to start basic training, they watched a videotape of Capt. John T. Dye, who commands the Navy’s only boot camp, speaking directly about sexual assault as a crime. The video message was repeated the next day as recruits waited for medical screening and their first Navy haircuts.

OTTAWA (NY Times) — The police said on Sunday that at least five people had died and 40 were missing after runaway railroad tank cars filled with oil derailed and exploded in a small Quebec town.

“We know there will be more deaths,” Lt. Michel Brunet of Quebec’s provincial police told reporters in Lac-Mégantic, where the fires continued to burn on Sunday.

The derailment and explosions, which took place around 1:15 a.m. on Saturday, underscored a debate in the effort to transport North America’s oil across long distances: is it safer and less environmentally destructive to move huge quantities of crude oil by train or by pipeline?

The fires, which incinerated at least 30 buildings in the core of Lac-Mégantic, a tourist town of 6,000 people about 150 miles east of Montreal, limited the work of accident investigators, as well as attempts to search for survivors and the remains of victims.

The darkest pool Like entropy, the diminishing returns of technology never sleep. The hubristic techno-narcissism of the day, as seen in mankind’s efforts to fake-out the universe, will eventually get our one-way ticket to Palookaville punched. Perhaps there’s such a thing as being too cool after all.

The trick so far has been to create massive inflation, export the effects of it to other trading partners, and end up with a lot more money here in the USA, or the illusion of more money.

Honoring independence Last Thursday, Americans celebrated Independence Day with patriotic fervor and displays of exploding decorations in the night sky intended to replicate the “rockets’ red glare.” Effortless patriotism, flags, bunting and burgers on the grills; barbecues, baseball and marching bands all honor what?

The Declaration of Independence was signed by a Continental Congress 237 years ago. This essay attempted to express universal truths that were self evident to the enlightened regarding the relationship between the People and the institutions created to protect these unalienable conditions. The essence of the statement is the most radical revolutionary concept possible: it is the right, the responsibility, of thinking citizens to abolish government that fails to protect these rights.

While our nation enjoys the benefits of our accumulated wealth, other nations are struggling with the concepts of power invested in government being derived from the consent of the governed: the People. In Egypt a tradition of dictatorial rule has been confronted by a desire among the millions for a more secular society where opportunity, pursuit of happiness, and

Robert Libby –––––

One Man’s Island dignity are shared. The relationship between the masses and the military remain to be clearly understood. Sometimes waving flags and shouts for freedom and brotherhood hide more sinister and corrupt purposes.

In Turkey masses of people have risen to question the authority of government to benefit a small elite group by taking public space and making it private and profitable. On Independence Day, I watched a remarkable video called “Sounds of Pots and Pans” from Istanbul that is a simple anthem of the rights of the governed to determine how they will be governed. It rings as powerfully as “We Shall Overcome” did for another generation. We live in an age of instantaneous and powerful communication that fuels a concept of what democratic government means.

This year in particular Americans are remembering one of the epic struggles to define govern-

ment: the Civil War and notably the Battle at Gettysburg are being celebrated. Bravery, conspicuous courage and integrity are concepts to be honored. Also we must remember the terrible carnage of that week that comes close to equaling the bloodshed in Syria in the past two years.

How that war and its outcome relate to the consent of the governed is subject for great debate.

President Lincoln was able to frame the result and sacrifice as insuring a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” would endure.

So as we go forward into all the myriad issues of modern life, let’s contemplate the powerful responsibility of the Declaration of independence. When the institutions of government fail to protect the unalienable rights of the People, those institutions should be altered or replaced. Our current government has been corrupted by self serving careerism and special interest pandering; this must be changed or our civic experiment in self government will fail.

In these games of currency war, there are too many moving parts KUNSTLER from page 4

goat entrails, and (always) the lone, silent soldier toting the dire nuclear “football.” Mr. Obama doesn’t know that the universe has launched us on a journey to a place beyond technoindustrialism — and it’s not Ray Kurzweil’s infinity of orgasms. It’s a place where no ring-tones are heard and not so much as a stretch-mark of the Kardashians remains to be found.

This is the eeriest summer. The coordinated effort to devalue gold — so as to maintain the sagging reputation of the world’s re$erve currency — has had the effect mainly of funneling it out of weak hands in the west to strong hands in the east, to countries that at one time or another we regarded as adversaries. China and Russia have been backing up their respective trucks at the gold warehouse loading dock, and before too long they will have yuan and rubles with more credibility than the U.S. dollar.

In these games of currency war, there are too many moving parts for comfort. Paradoxically, the American position is all about maintaining undeserved comfort, that is a standard of living that is no longer earned but borrowed from the darkest pool of magic capital: the future of declining expectations. Enjoy the flat screen TVs, water-parks, RVs, and Happy Meals while you can. There is sand in the gears of the moving parts that have made all that possible.

It’s quite a trick to debase your currency for strategic advantage and at the same time maintain the world’s credibility in it. The strategic advantage is that debasement allows you to dissipate existing debt by stealth. But that trick is not working too well at the moment in the USA because too many other players are trying the same thing, and doing it badly, so people in foreign lands are dumping their currencies

to take refuge in the dollar. The chief product of all this motion is not “prosperity” but instability. That is the last thing that economies need, even if the gamesters in the financial markets can arbitrage it to their advantage.

Instability translates into uncertainty, especially about the relative value of currencies. For the moment, holders of weakening currencies are seeking refuge in seemingly “stronger” dollars in bubbling equity markets. Many more dollars have been stashed on the balance sheets of the Federal Reserve in the form of bonds purchased in galumphing bales since 2009 — only the catch is that many of these bonds are worthless, especially the mortgagebacked securities. The collateral exists in the form of mold-infused sheetrock, swimming pools with algae blooms, and strip malls left with a single tenant: the wig shop. The Fed will never be able to unload this

hoard of garbage, even if it “tapers” its buying of new garbage. The dollars that the Fed creates out of nothing are trapped in this fetid backwater of rotting capital, destined to go nowhere — surely not into activity that produces real wealth, or the means to continue being civilized.

Something’s in the air this hot, soggy summer and it smells like the loss of faith.

In another month, as the nights grow cool we’ll approach the sober season of fall, when the air seems to possess powers of magnification and suddenly things can be seen clearly. The high frequency robo trading bots are good at detecting microscopic differences in digital quant pools, but they don’t have the finer sensory antennae of human brains for forces outside the rather narrow math narrative.

For instance, I communed with my fellow citizens this Fourth of July weekend for a few hours at a little beach in a Vermont state park. It was a family kind of place. The mommies and daddies were putting on a competitive tattoo display (along with competitive eating). So many skulls, Devil heads, snakes, screaming eagles, flags, and thunderbolts. I suppose they acquire these totem images to ward off some apprehended greater harm, the metaphysically inchoate forces marshalling at the margins of what little normal life remains in this nation of rackets, swindles, and tears. All was nonetheless tranquility, there by the little lakeside, with the weenies grilling and the poptops popping. A three-year-old came by where I was working on my tan on a towel in the grass, supine. He asked me if I was dead. Not yet, I told him. Behind him a skull smoking a doobie loomed in blue and red ink on his daddy’s thigh. My people. My country.

State responds to Lac-Mégantic, Quebec train derailment, explosion Daily Sun Staff Reports Maine firefighters who responded to the LacMégantic, Quebec train derailment and fire have returned to their stations, and on Monday, Quebec officials were not requesting further response resources from Maine, the Maine Emergency Management Agency announced.

A runaway fuel train exploded in the center of the Quebec town, killing five people and leaving another 40 missing and feared dead. MEMA Director Rob McAleer reported that he was in contact with his counterpart in Quebec since the first reports of the accident, according to a state press release.

“People have asked me today if Maine would be prepared for an accident like this,” McAleer said.

“My answer is that it would be among the worst things we have faced, but first responders all over the state would be ready to respond, and would have the right training and equipment to do so.”

McAleer said that 19 hazardous materials teams around the state train all year long for any contingency they might face. Specific training is also regularly offered for response to tank truck rollovers, and periodically for train derailments.

Other state agencies including the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Transportation are closely monitoring the derailment and fires to assess potential impacts to Maine, the state press release noted. The International Emergency Management Assistance Compact allows Maine to share resources with eastern Canadian provinces in the event of an emergency.

In an effort to safeguard Maine’s air quality, DEP has been monitoring the ambient air quality daily, the press release stated. DEP forecasters will continue to closely watch for any changes. The oil spill in the Chaudière River, which flows north approximately 115 miles to the St. Lawrence River, has not affected Maine waters, the press release reported.

Lost Brunswick hiker guided safely from coastal cliff area at Harpswell A lost hiker in the Harpswell area ended up stranded along the shoreline Sunday night before a rescue effort helped escort her to safety, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office reported.

On Sunday evening around 9 p.m., the sheriff ’s office responded to a report of a lost hiker in the Harpswell area. Upon arrival, the deputies determined that 45-year-old Theresa Desjardins of Brunswick had gone hiking with her 15-year-old son on the Mountain Road in Harpswell behind the Town Office, a sheriff ’s press release stated.

Responders also determined that Desjardins had some previous medical issues. The mother and son became separated, but the son was able to find his way out of the woods, flag down a passing motorist and request assistance, according to a sheriff ’s press release.

With the assistance of a game warden from the Maine Warden Service, responding deputies deployed two K-9 Teams. An hour or so into the initial K-9 search Desjardins was discovered over the cliff on the Cliff trail, stranded along the shoreline on some rocks, the sheriff’s office reported. Desjardins was not injured, but she was dehydrated and scared. Deputy Matt Tufts and his K-9 were the first to have contact with Desjardins while Deputy Cory Plummer and Deputy Andy Schenk came in from another other angle.

Due to the location and the darkness, it was difficult for the deputies to immediately extricate Desjardins from where she was found, the sheriff’s office noted. Several options of recovery were considered such as high angle rescue, boat rescue or hiking out. After careful consideration of the facts which included utilizing Global Positioning technology, determining sight variables, and acknowledging the

rapidly rising tide, it was determined that the best approach would be to help Desjardins hike out, the sheriff’s office reported.

After nearly four hours of searching, planning and carefully maneuvering the jagged coast line, Desjardins and the rescue team arrived safe, but tired at the staging area, the sheriff’s office noted.

“The seamless team work between the deputies and the warden officer was instrumental in the positive outcome of this rescue,” the press release stated.

Desjardins suffered no lasting physical effects and is now safely home with her family, the press U.S. Sen. Angus King, shown here during a press conference as a candidate, announced hours when the public can discuss issues in Maine. (DAVID CARKHUFF FILE PHOTO) release concluded.

Westbrook police announce patrols, checkpoints against impaired drivers With grant funding of $10,000 from the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety, Westbrook Police are conducting “saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints” in an effort to remove impaired drivers from the road this summer, Westbrook Police recently announced.

Police are staffing sobriety checkpoints at various locations, as well as scheduling patrols in marked and unmarked cars to look for impaired drivers, police reported. Nationally, alcohol-impaired motor vehicle crashes cost more than an estimated $37 billion annually, police said. In 2010, more than 10,000 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes — one every 51 minutes, a police press release stated.

Westbrook Police take the problem of impaired drivers very seriously and officers on all shifts actively seek these drivers, according to Captain Tom Roth.

Having grant funding available to dedicate officers just to impaired drivers allows the officers to concentrate their efforts on this task without being taken away for regular calls for service, he said.

“This grant funding allows us to focus our efforts on a problem that affects everyone who travels through Westbrook,” Roth said. Westbrook Police will continue their impaired driver enforcement efforts through the summertime.

Public meeting on Wednesday to discuss Bath Viaduct work A preliminary public meeting in Bath will give the public a chance to discuss rehabilitation of the Bath Viaduct, the Maine Department of Transportation reported.

Any inquiries regarding this project may be directed to the attention of Nate Benoit, Project Manager, Maine Department of Transportation, Bridge Program, 16 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333-0016; call 215-1590; or e-mail: nathaniel. benoit@maine.gov.

The certified food protection manager classes will be open to any food service professional interested in taking the class, which lasts for a full day, according to a press release. State law requires that food service establishments have a certified food protection manager on staff who is responsible for safe food preparation practices.

The class is $115 per person and the first session is on July 25.

“The city and Portland restaurants share the same goal, which is making sure that the public’s health is protected,” said Michael Russell, environmental health and safety program manager. “In support of the industry and to make sure that all food establishments have access to certification, we are pleased to offer the course at a reduced cost. The class will also give city inspectors the opportunity to get to know local restaurateurs and their staff and respond to any questions or concerns they may have.”

Some of the topics covered during the class include personal hygiene, cross contaminations, receiving and storage, food safety management systems and time and temperature requirements.

The course will be available 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. the following days: • July 25: Rines Auditorium, Portland Public Library • Aug. 22: Rines Auditorium, Portland Public Library • Sept. 25: Room 24, Portland City Hall • Oct. 23: Room 24, Portland City Hall • Nov. 20: Room 24, Portland City Hall • Dec. 18: Room 24, Portland City Hall To register for the course, visit the city’s website at http://www.portlandmaine.gov/hhs/foodsafety.asp or call 874-8784.

LePage, Democratic leadership spar over bonds Republican governor, Democratic legislators give different accounts of what to expect with voter-approved bonds

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Maine Gov. Paul LePage cited improvements to the International Marine Terminal in Portland as one of the projects contained in his transportation bond proposal totaling $100 million that he wants to see passed, but legislators said they have their own bond projects in mind for consideration this fall.

Alfond As the session winds down, legislators are gathering at the State Capitol Tuesday to take up vetoes for possible override votes.

Republican Gov. LePage has often been at odds with the Democratic leadership in the legislature, and the most recent issue that they sparred over was infrastructure bonds.

LePage said his transportation bond package is needed to support the new transatlantic shipping line, Eimskip, recently established in Portland, as well as a host of other projects that he tied to economic development.

“The governor is still interested in getting these bonds out and releasing

the $100 million transportation bond,” Adrienne Bennett, press secretary for the governor, said in an interview last week.

But Senate President Justin Alfond of Portland said the governor has refused to release voter-approved bond investments dating back to 2009 and totaling more than $296 million in state and federal dollars — some triggering a 5-to-1 federal match.

The bond packages awaiting release include investments in roads and bridges, higher education, clean water improvements, Maine’s working waterfronts, historic preservation of Maine’s downtowns, and redevelopment of the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, Alfond and House Speaker Mark Eves announced.

“It’s very unfortunate that this governor has not LePage taken any personal responsibility for holding up hundreds of projects, thousands of jobs across the state,” Alfond said in an interview last week.

“We are now way into the construction season and these jobs, most of them, are sitting on the sidelines.”

Alfond said the Democratic leadership will be considering a bond package when the Maine Legislature reconvenes this fall.

LePage said he would release the voter-approved bonds once a hospitalrepayment plan was passed, Alfond and Eves stated. The Legislature passed that measure on June 13 and the governor signed it on June 14, but

Alfond and Eves said the bonds still have not been released.

LePage said he has already ordered the release of those taxpayer-authorized general obligation bonds, despite Democrat leadership’s “false accusa-

tions that he is delaying the bonds.”

“Justin Alfond should read his mail,” LePage said in a press release.

“I wrote a letter on May 23 directing the Democratic State Treasurer see BONDS page 13

enemies? Answer: quietly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Busy people often feel important. Some say that this glorifies “busy” and that “busy” doesn’t equal “important.” Then why are busy people so in demand? Making commitments does make you important to the others involved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Deferred dreams are often like submarines: invisible below the waves, until they unexpectedly torpedo your day. Bring your aspirations to the surface, and reclaim them to the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t fight the old. It is unnecessary now to overturn the powers that be. This isn’t a time for revolution; it’s a time for exploration. Better to set off for new horizons than to waste energy trying to transform the old stomping ground.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 9). Something you thought was fun a few years back now gets new life. This revival puts joy in your work, and you’ll play differently, too. There’s business to clear up in August, and then you’re free to pursue a lucrative job. September educates you through travel. Lifestyle changes (perhaps involving a commute) help you rock 2014.

Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 11, 8 and 32

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Doubt has its place. It can be helpful -- as helpful as faith and at times even more so. It can prevent mistakes of overconfidence. Doubt can save the day. Of course, it’s something to keep in check.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a fine line between showing concern and becoming a busybody. Be sure to ask more than once whether your advice or help is indeed needed -- and don’t be disappointed when they can handle things on their own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your confrontational mood will bring about change. The change itself may be unnecessary; many of the best things in life are. But it will keep things interesting, so why not?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Oscar Wilde said, “I can resist anything except temptation.” Your powers of resistance are strong, but a great temptation will challenge them. Stop, take a deep breath, and consider the consequences carefully.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find out what happens when you put all of your attention into one special interest: The awesome stuff becomes weird, and the weird stuff becomes awesome.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re strong.

You may wish you could be lazy, watch television all day and eat nothing but breakfast cereal. Alas, that’s not who you are. Once you get moving, you’ll remember why you choose “strong” again and again.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Thinking differently is harder than moving your body differently. But if you can learn a new dance or sport, you can learn a new thought process. Build it one habit at a time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel good when you’re productive. It’s important to note, though, that your worth doesn’t come from your productivity. Do it for the joy it brings you and others. Don’t do it because you have to, but because you want to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Are they trying to bring you down? It’s because they perceive you as being above them. It’s a sign that your power is on the rise. How do you use that power in a way that doesn’t make

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, July 9, the 190th day of 2013. There are 175 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 9, 1943, during World War II, the Allies launched Operation Husky, their invasion of Sicily, with nighttime landings of American and British troops; a full-scale incursion by sea began in the small hours of July 10. (More than a month later, the Allies secured the island from the Axis.)

On this date: In 1540, England’s King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled.

In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York.

In 1816, Argentina declared independence from Spain.

In 1850, the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died after serving only 16 months of his term. (He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore.)

In 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous “cross of gold” speech at the Democratic national convention in Chicago.

In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tenn. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by an Act of Congress.

In 1938, Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo died in Port Chester, N.Y., at age 68.

In 1953, the MGM movie musical “The Band Wagon,” starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, had its world premiere at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

In 1962, pop artist Andy Warhol’s exhibit of 32 paintings of Campbell’s soup cans opened at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles.

In 1974, former U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren died in Washington, D.C., at age 83.

In 1986, the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography released the final draft of its report, which linked hard-core porn to sex crimes.

In 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton tapped Tennessee Sen. Al Gore to be his running mate. Former CBS News commentator Eric Sevareid died in Washington at age 79.

Ten years ago: The Bush administration defended the war against Iraq, saying that information on Saddam Hussein’s alleged illicit weapons programs was solid even though one of President George W. Bush’s claims — that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa — was based on faulty evidence.

Five years ago: Citing new DNA tests, prosecutors cleared JonBenet Ramsey’s parents and brother in the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old beauty queen in Boulder, Colo. Massachusetts One year ago: Facing sagging jobs numbers, President Barack Obama sought to recast the November election as a fight over tax fairness, urging tax cut extensions for all families earning less than $250,000 but denying them to households making more than that. The remains of 6 U.S. airmen lost over Laos in 1965 were laid to rest in a single casket at Arlington National Cemetery. Detroit’s Prince Fielder became only the second player, after Ken Griffey Jr., to win multiple titles in the All-Star Home Run Derby, thrilling the crowd at Kauffman Stadium with eight splash shots into the right-field fountain and beating Toronto’s Jose Bautista 12-7 in the final.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: This is my second marriage. My husband has two children from his first marriage and a stepdaughter. His first wife had several affairs. I feel it may have been due to his lack of support for her. He was always working and never had time for his wife and kids.

We married five years after his divorce. My husband and I are happy, and he is devoted to me. But he continues to work a great deal, and I am often lonely. I know it would help to have my own outside interests and hobbies and to go out with my friends, but I miss the closeness I had with my first husband. We did everything together.

The problem now is his kids. We have not spoken to them in nearly three years. When his oldest granddaughter sent us a graduation invitation, I sent her a text thanking her for inviting us. She wrote back, “Who is this? I do not recognize the number.” That really hurt me. I gave nine years of my life to that little girl, trying to be a good step-grandmother. I wrote her back and said, “Once upon a time, you called me Grandmommie. I still love and miss you.” I have heard nothing more from her.

My husband’s children have no respect for their father because he was always gone. I tried to overcome that for many years, but it went sour. What can we do to get these problems corrected? Should we send a graduation gift?

-- Hurting in Oklahoma Dear Oklahoma: First, while your relationship with these children seems distant, let’s not mix apples and oranges. Unless your phone number is programmed into this grandchild’s phone, your name would not come up when you texted, and she would not have known who was contacting her. You can call the children and grandchildren directly and ask how to warm up the relationship. But we can’t promise anything will change unless

your husband becomes more involved, and he does not seem inclined. But please send a graduation gift. It’s a start.

Dear Annie: I am at my wits’ end. I have tried every angle imaginable to stop an employee from showing her butt crack. I even bought her a long T-shirt. She wore it once and says she can’t find it.

Am I wrong to think that she should not be allowed to dress this way? She says that I am the only person who has a problem with it, but I’m simply the only one willing to speak up. Firing her is not an option. -- Fairfield, Conn.

Dear Fairfield: If there is no consequence for dressing so unprofessionally, there is no reason for her to change her clothes. Dress codes should be enforced. We recommend you talk to whoever is in charge and ask that a dress code be established and consequences spelled out -- including termination for someone who repeatedly and deliberately refuses to adhere to the requirements of the job. This girl undoubtedly believes her exhibitionism is appealing. But it is actually a source of ogling and amusement at her expense. She should save it for after hours.

Dear “No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky.,” who is addicted to alcohol, criticized family members for being addicted to food. He said, “How is it more legitimate to grab a doughnut when under stress than to pour myself a cocktail?” There is a HUGE difference.

I grew up in a home where both of my parents were alcoholics. Alcohol changes a person’s behavior toward others. Food does not. I would much rather have had obese parents than emotionally damaging alcoholics. I wouldn’t have needed so many years in therapy. -- Lynn in Louisville

LePage: ‘My administration is working to make funds available’ BONDS from page 9

to prepare the bonds. I have kept my word to the people of Maine, and I have released the bonds. My administration is working to make funds available while the Treasurer continues to prepare the bonds for sale.”

Alfond disputed the governor’s characterization of the bond release.

“It wasn’t direct, it wasn’t instructing her to do anything,” Alfond said of State Treasurer Neria Douglass. “We didn’t pass a hospital repayment plan until well into June, so it’s very confusing to me and others in the business trades of where these bonds are. ... Over and over again, the governor makes promises that he never keeps. He says when Democrats and Republicans paid off the hospital debt, he would release bonds approved by the voters of the state of Maine,” Alfond said.

“There have been absolutely steps taken with that transportation bond,” Alfond said, adding that he and other Democratic leaders have sat down with transportation officials to talk about the package.

“That transportation bond that was introduced will be part of the fall bond package and the discussions and negotiations and what we put out to Maine voters,” Alfond said.

Bennett said leaders “need to set aside the political rhetoric” and that legislators should “work with the governor to move the transportation bond forward. That would be more productive than trying to shift blame.”

Bennett said, “It appears the Democrats are trying to shift blame for stalling on the bonds when in reality the governor has released those bonds.”

This legislative session has featured repeated clashes between LePage — often in alliance with the Republican minority — and the Democratic leadership in the Legislature. A new dynamic is the election for governor in 2014.

Bennett said her office does not involve itself in the politics of the race for governor — the governor announced his re-election big at a fundraiser with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush last Tuesday evening in Kennebunkport. U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, D-Maine, announced last month that he would offi-

cially explore a run for governor in 2014. Independent Eliot Cutler also is seeking the governorship.

“The governor will govern, his political efforts, those are separate from this office,” Bennett said.

Alfond said he welcomed the news of Michaud’s entrance in the race.

“I think Congressman Michaud has a road to victory, and I’m very excited that he is going to bring his leadership, his experience in state politics to this race,” Alfond said.

“It’s a game changer,” he said of Michaud’s entrance in the race.

LePage has positioned himself as a defender of taxpayers by vetoing a state budget that included tax increases. Democrats are arguing that the governor is out of step, pointing to an override of the budget veto, approved by the full Legislature.

“I think what we did in the Legislature in spite of Gov. LePage was bipartisan and truly putting the interests of Maine people first,” Alfond said.

LePage said the Democrats’ fall bond proposal was “another delaying tactic” and evidence of continued political maneuvering.

Martin Dempsey, to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

During the visit, General Dempsey and delegation members met with shipyard commander Captain William Greene and shipyard leadership to discuss shipyard operations. While touring the yard, General Dempsey and delegation members were briefed on the status of repairs to the USS Miami, and learned about operations in the Reactor Servicing Facility, the Motor Generator Rewind Facility, and the Machine Shop, the delegation reported in a joint press release Monday.

U.S. Senators Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, along with Congressmen Mike Michaud, D-Maine, Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, Annie Kuster D-N.H., and Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H. issued a joint statement, in which they said, “Today’s visit was an important opportunity for our nation’s top military officer to witness firsthand the irreplaceable contributions that Portsmouth Naval Shipyard makes to our national security by providing exceptional maintenance of the Navy’s attack submarine fleet. The shipyard is also an economic engine for the Maine and New Hampshire seacoast region, employing more than 5,000 workers and generating approximately $661 million in annual economic output for the region. We will continue to work together to advocate for the yard and its skilled and dedicated workforce.”

Following the shipyard visit, General Dempsey and New Hampshire delegation members were scheduled to visit Pease Air National Guard Base to receive a briefing on the New Hampshire National Guard’s Deployment Cycle Support Program and meet with New Hampshire defense suppliers.

LearningWorks celebrates $975,000 federal grant for YouthBuild Bayside At a press conference on Monday, dignitaries praised a two-year $975,000 grant for LearningWorks to continue to administer its Youth Building Alternatives program In late June, the U.S. Department of Labor announced the award of nearly $72 million in YouthBuild grants to support academic and occupational skill training for at-risk youth. Among the recipients noted was Learning Works — YouthBuild Bayside, of Portland, which was slated to receive $975,000.

On Monday, LearningWorks welcomed dignitaries, including Jeanne Paquette, commissioner of the Maine Department of Labor; Emmanuel Caulk, Superintendent of Portland Schools; and Maine State Senate President Justin Alfond, who joined LearningWorks CEO Ethan Strimling for the announcement.

LearningWorks is one of only 68 sites funded

across the country and the only site in Maine funded this round, a press release noted.

U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King, and Congresswoman Chellie Pingree were not present, but all three had high praise for the program in statements they issued. At Monday’s press conference, Strimling said.

“I cannot express how pleased I am that the U.S. DOL has seen fit to fund our exceptional program. I Strimling believe it is one of the few nationwide to have received funding for three cycles in a row. I am positive this is because of the outstanding staff and the remarkable outcomes they achieve. I would also like to thank the outpouring of support from local, state, and federal officials who spoke today and/or sent statements. It is a true testament to the value of a program like this.”

Monsignor Henchal to celebrate 40th anniversary of priestly ordination Monsignor Michael Henchal, pastor of St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish in Scarborough, St. Bartholomew Parish in Cape Elizabeth, and Holy Cross and St. John the Evangelist Parishes in South Portland, will celebrate his 40th anniversary of priestly ordination on Sunday, July 14, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland reported.

Parishioners will gather for a special Mass and reception to celebrate on Saturday, July 13, at 6 p.m. at St. Bartholomew Church on 8 Two Lights Road in Cape Elizabeth.

Monsignor Henchal received a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Ottawa and a Bachelor of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome before being ordained by the Most Reverend Peter L. Gerety, the Eighth Bishop of Portland, at St. Joseph Church in Lewiston on July 14, 1973. Monsignor Henchal also earned a master’s degree in Liturgical Studies and a licentiate in Canon Law from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Over his 40 years of ministry in the Diocese of Portland, Monsignor Henchal has served at parishes in Rumford, Portland, Pittsfield, Jay, Sanford and currently, in Cape Elizabeth, South Portland and Scarborough.

According to his current staff members, Monsignor Henchal’s leadership makes him an “extremely good administrator,” particularly when a tough decision must be made. “This closing of St. John the Evangelist Church in South Portland and merging the parishes of South Portland into one new parish is among those really hard decisions,” said Monsignor Henchal.

A short pursuit and battle followed off the coast of Portland, where the Confederates surrendered but scuttled the ship.

Using live animals and interactive displays, the answers to these and other questions will be revealed.”

Her new friends in Portland’s Sudanese community told of their tumultuous path from South Sudan to Portland, Maine.

What does that mean? We are told, ‘Everything is legal.’ Is this true? We must consider this very carefully in deciding our opinion on these matters. Peace Action Maine has been raising important justice issues here for twenty-five years, carrying out actions, advocacy, and information events that engage people to understand and to act appropriately.

Peace Action supports a Wednesday noon vigil every week at Monument Square. Recent talks were presented by Ray McGovern in May and Andrew Bacevich in June.
