50 years after the ‘Dream’

Event in Portland features some who attended — See page 18 On Saturday, in Washington, D.C., the NAACP — the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization — will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.

In Portland, to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s. “I Have A Dream” speech and the March on Washington, a panel discussion will take place Tuesday, Aug. 27, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Portland Public Library. LEFT: Rachel Talbot Ross, president of the Portland NAACP, said one goal of Tuesday’s forum is to reach young people. “I think it’s hard for them to relate to the actual march, but they certainly relate to the issues,” Talbot Ross said. Here, she holds a copy of the original program handed out at the march in 1963.

As landscapes change, animal brains change, too (NY Times) — Evolutionary biologists have come to recognize humans as a tremendous evolutionary force.

In hospitals, we drive the evolution of resistant bacteria by giving patients antibiotics. In the oceans, we drive the evolution of small-bodied fish by catching the big ones.

In a new study, a University of Minnesota biologist, Emilie C. Snell-Rood, offers evidence suggesting we may be driving evolution in a more surprising way. As we alter the places where animals live, we may be fueling the evolution of bigger brains.

Dr. Snell-Rood bases her conclusion on a collection of mammal skulls kept at the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Snell-Rood picked out 10 species to study, including mice, shrews, bats and gophers. She selected dozens of individual skulls that were collected as far back as a century ago. An undergraduate student named Naomi Wick measured the dimensions of the skulls, making it possible to estimate the size of their brains.

Two important results emerged from their research.

In two species — the whitefooted mouse and the meadow vole — the brains of animals from cities or suburbs were about 6 percent bigger than the brains of animals collected from farms or other rural areas.

Dr. Snell-Rood concludes that when these species moved to cities and towns, their brains became significantly bigger.

Dr. Snell-Rood and Wick also found that in rural parts of Minnesota, two species of shrews and two species of bats experienced an increase in brain size as well.

Dr. Snell-Rood proposes that the brains of all six species have gotten bigger because humans have radically changed Minnesota.

SAYWHAT...

“

Money without brains is always dangerous.”

— Napoleon Hill

Mubarak removed from Egyptian prison CAIRO (NY Times) — Egypt’s new rulers on Thursday moved former President Hosni Mubarak from a prison cell to house arrest at a military hospital, ending more than two years of incarceration but stopping short of granting him full freedom.

His release stoked the anger of the thousands of Islamists and others protesting in the streets around the country nightly to denounce the military’s ouster and detention last month of Mubarak’s successor, Mohamed Morsi. But among other groups reaction was muted.

The left-leaning April 6 Group, which spearheaded the 2011 uprising against

Mubarak, called off a planned protest against Mubarak’s release for fear that Morsi’s Islamist supporters might exploit it for their own cause, or that security forces might crush it in their drive to suppress the Islamists. It was canceled “to avoid the shedding of more Egyptian blood,” the group said in a statement.

An Egyptian court granted a lawyer’s petition for Mubarak’s release on Wednesday night, but the decision to let him go was essentially political. The new authorities appointed by Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi declined to follow the Morsi government’s practice of raising new charges to keep

Mubarak behind bars. Instead, the new officials used the expanded police powers that they have granted themselves to keep Mubarak under house arrest without charges, assuring that he does not begin speaking out publicly or stirring up trouble.

Arriving from prison in a medical helicopter at around 4 p.m., Mubarak reclined on a gurney as a crew of soldiers and medics pushed him to the hospital. His lips turned up in a slight smile. He cradled his head in his hands, and dark sunglasses covered his eyes. Instead of the running suits he appeared in as an inmate, he wore khaki pants, a white shirt, and soft, pale loafers.

After sentencing, Pfc. Bradley Fallen official defiant Manning says, ‘I am female’ as trial begins in China

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — One day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking vast archives of secret government files to WikiLeaks, Pfc. Bradley Manning said Thursday that he is female and wants to be known as Chelsea.

In a statement read on the “Today” show during an appearance by his defense lawyer, David E. Coombs, Private Manning said he had felt that he was female since childhood, a fact that was discussed during his court-martial.

“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me,” the statement said. “I am Chelsea Manning.

I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition.”

The statement went on to request that Private Manning’s supporters

“refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility).”

It was signed, “Chelsea Manning.”

Coombs said Private Manning, 25, waited to speak publicly about his gender identity until after sentencing. Private Manning’s decision to live as a woman raises questions of how the Army prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he will be held, will respond. A spokeswoman for the prison recently told Courthouse News that the prison does not provide hormone therapy or genderreassignment surgery. As is the case for all soldiers, transgender inmates are only eligible for psychiatric care.

Coombs acknowledged as much on “Today.” He said that his client had not signaled an interest in gender-reassignment surgery, but that he was hopeful that Fort Leavenworth would “do the right thing” and provide hormone therapy.

JINAN, China (NY Times) — Bo Xilai, the politician who fell from the heights of China’s elite, took a pugnacious and defiant stand on Thursday in the opening session of China’s most closely watched trial in decades, denying that he took millions of dollars in bribes and ridiculing his wife’s testimony against him.

According to lengthy transcripts the court released in an extraordinary show of transparency, Bo, 64, called his wife’s assertions that she had noticed anonymous deposits in their bank account “laughable.” He accused a businessman who had recorded video testimony against him of having “sold his soul.” And he discounted his earlier confession to taking bribes, saying he had made the statements to Communist Party investigators against his will, under “mental strain.”

The authorities’ unexpected openness about the trial, including allowing a running court microblog and social media updates by state media organizations, turned what many had expected to be banal theater into a showcase of Bo’s defiance.

The dramatic day raised questions about how party officials would continue to steer a delicate political process that has captivated Chinese scrutinizing it on the Internet.

Officials set up a press center in a hotel across the street from the court in this eastern provincial capital. There, dozens of foreign journalists and a handful of reporters for Chinese state media gazed at large-screen televisions streaming the court microblog feed.

‘Art of Tanzania’ exhibit enters final weekend at PMA

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

This is the last weekend to take in some Tanzanian art, as the groundbreaking exhibit at the Portland Museum of Art draws to a close. More than 37,000 people have visited the museum while “Shangaa: Art of Tanzania” has been on display, helping make this June the second best in the museum’s history.

This is the first exhibition of Tanzanian art in the United States, and Portland has reason to be proud of their growing reputation for being ahead of the art world.

The exhibit features 161 awe-inspiring objects. Organized by the QCC Art Gallery of the City University of New York (CUNY) and curated by scholar of African art Dr. Gary van Wyk, the exhibition brings together stunning objects from private collections and major German museums that have rarely been seen outside of Africa or Europe.”Audiences will be challenged, engaged, and inspired by the great Tanzanian cultural objects in ‘Shangaa,’” said PMA Director Mark H.C. Bessire.

“For the first time in the United States, the great artistic traditions of Tanzania will be brought together to expand our knowledge of East Africa,” Bessire said.

In Swahili, “shangaa” means to surprise, dumbfound and amaze, and visitors said the exhibition lived up to its moniker. Many of them had difficulty finding words to describe their experience as they took in so many art pieces seemingly free of western influence.

One woman from Portland, who preferred not to be identified, said she visited Tanzania in 2006 and said the exhibit brought her back to her time there with immediacy and power.

“You don’t see a collection like this,” she said.

Another, who said she is visiting the United States from Egypt, was born in Tanzania. She moved from there when she was three years old, but visited again in 2004.

“It’s a great exhibit, so modern in so many ways,” she said, noting she’s an artist who sculpts and mostly paints now. She emphasized that Tanzanian art is distinct from the Congo and other east African neighbors.

“The wood masks are very impressive pieces,” she said.

Spanning from the 19th century to the present day, with recent works created by celebrated artists for contemporary events, the objects underscore the vibrant, living traditions of art and culture in Tanzania. The objects range from masks and staffs to figural sculptures and thrones, demonstrating how Tanzanian cultures use art

to channel energy to heal, embody authority, mark initiation into adulthood, address the spirits, and celebrate life and competition, according to a press release on the exhibit.

The home of Mount Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Lake Victoria and the Serengeti, Tanzania is a cultural crossroads in East Africa. It is a place where Arab, Indian, European and American trade routes coincided centuries ago, and Muslim, Christian, and African traditions continue to intermix. At Lake Victoria, explorers reached the long-sought source of the Nile; and Mary Leakey and her team discovered the Laetoli Footprints at Oldupai Gorge. As van Two visitors to the Portland Wyk observed, “TanzaMuseum of nia is a hotbed for prehistory ... a veritable Art admire the “Shangaa: Art cradle of humanity.” of Tanzania” While art of other exhibit.

The art of East Africa has thus been largely overlooked until now.

This exhibition “seeks to raise the awareness of a lesser recognized, but equally valuable source of traditional African Culture,” van Wyk said.

Two younger visitors were likewise amazed at what they saw. Hannah and Zoe, both from Windham, have been to the PMA before, but have never encountered anything like the east African art they witnessed this time through.”It’s extremely bold,” Hannah said. “I like the craziness of it all — such masks, paints — it’s like a party.”

“I love it,” Zoe said. “I think it’s bold and different. It’s like seeing their culture and how in touch with it they are.”

“Shangaa: Art of Tanzania” was organized by QCC Art Gallery of the City University of New York (CUNY) and curated by Dr. Gary van Wyk and supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts: Art Works.

––––––––––––– LETTERS TO THE EDITOR –––––––––––––

So-called Affordable Care Act needs to end; sign the petition Editor: Obamacare has hurt enough people! It is time to end this evil sham of a health care plan. The (Un) Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was passed by a Democrat Congress that didn’t read it. Even getting Democrat votes required lies and bribes.

Despite hundreds of Obama speeches and millions of taxpayer dollars spent on promotional propaganda, the American public continues to overwhelmingly oppose Obamacare. Americans know that Obamacare will only ruin our health care system that is the envy of the world.

But Americans could not have imagined how harmful Obamacare is. Health care premiums are skyrocketing, often more than $5000 greater than the reduced premiums that President Obama promised. Obamacare’s real cost (almost $3 trillion) is about three times its promised cost.

Contrary to promises people are losing their health insurance. Some employers can no longer cover spouses with their employer provided insurance plans. People are losing their doctors and at least half of all doctors are considering early retirement. Obamacare Death Panels, promising a poorer quality of life and early death, have been acknowledged by many Obama insiders including Howard Dean, former chairman of the Democrat Party.

Obamacare has been a disaster for American jobs.

Only big businesses have the resources to understand and comply with this 2700 page law and its 20,000 pages of regulations, but big businesses are mostly cutting jobs. More regulations are promised, further destroying jobs.

US job growth has not kept up with the number of people who want to enter the workforce. Three-quarters of all the jobs created this year are part-time jobs because Obamacare requirements only apply to full time employees. It breaks my heart that millions of Americans are losing full time jobs, which have supported families for generations, and being offered part-time jobs instead.

Obamacare has been the poster-child for cronyism and manipulation for political purposes. Obama friends received waivers from harmful provisions.

Other pain causing requirements have been delayed until after elections. More than half the legal deadlines have been missed. The poorly planned roll-out see LETTERS page 5

Maine’s indy politics offer national lessons As a charter member of the Maine As Political Microcosm Society, a small but mighty movement gathering steam daily, I’ve begun to read national trends in even the most delicate of tea leaves.

We in the MPMS believe that old saying “as Maine goes, so goes the nation” from the 19th Century should be revived, becoming both rallying cry and song of hope.

So when Steve Woods, the Falmouth businessman and town council member, dropped out of the 2014 governor’s election this week, many politicos saw only the termination of a quixotic campaign.

Me? I saw Maine illustrating the sort of “primary discipline” that our two national parties should emulate.

Granted, the man from Falmouth was not going to get the Democratic nomination, and not just because he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2012 as an independent. But he was likely to shift some of the messaging away from fellow Democrat Mike Michaud, the current U.S. Rep and presumptive nominee.

Instead of that, Woods endorsed Michaud in tones usually reserved for describing grandchildren and the neighbor’s new puppy.

Republicans can learn from this example, especially since their last presidential primary tuned into a poorly organized circular firing squad.

Democrats did little better in the Obama-Clinton years, although nobody was arguing that the junior

senator from Illinois lacked campaign skills when that AliFrazier bout settled.

Now we see former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, again, as the presumptive nominee. Except there goes Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and 2004 presidential candidate, visiting Iowa and New Hampshire.

He even told CNN’s Peter Hamby that he would consider running for the Democratic nomination, if according to the CNN website, “... other candidates weren’t adequately addressing progressive issues.”

For anyone who recalls Dean’s 2004 “Summer of No Sleep” campaign, the comparisons to President Obama’s sweeping message of hope and change resonate. And since Dean has not gone on to build an Orwellian surveillance state, those voters are likely for rekindling.

A Dean-Clinton primary would likely lead to PBS hosting the debates, but it would not increase the Democrats’ hopes for the White House. Likewise, the Republican field for 2016 is shaping up like a muddy-track Kentucky Derby.

All the more reason for yet another lesson from Microcosm Maine: Beware the independents.

We just sent an independent senator to Washington. Granted, he was left-leaning enough to appeal to progressives and right-leaning enough to hang

Crucial Portland school budget election Sept. 4 Editor, It is imperative that Portland residents vote ‘yes’ to approve the referendum to add $1.9 million to the Portland Public School budget on September 4th. This supplemental budget will not cost the city any more money.

This budget will be totally funded by the state, and therefore will not cause an increase in Portland property taxes. Further, the supplemental

budget has already been approved unanimously by the Portland City Council and the Portland Board of Public Education.

Passing the budget will save jobs because the money will be used to cover the mandatory increased cost of teacher retirement and charter schools instead of Portland being forced to cut more jobs. Additionally, eight positions would be added including: one elementary assistant principal, the equivalent of 1.5 instructional support specialists to provide all middle schools with a full-time person focused on literacy instruction, the equivalent of 1.5 high school teachers (to expand elective options in technology at Deering, world language at Casco Bay and visual arts at Portland), and add four educational technicians in order

to support students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and English Language Learners.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. People can also vote absentee in the city clerk’s office, request ballot online, (http://www.portlandmaine. gov/voter/absentee.pdf) or request a ballot by calling 874-8677. August 30 is the deadline for absentee voting.

Students are successful when there is the adequate number of staff members present. More teachers mean an increased chance of success for a greater number of students.

Make sure Portland’s students have the best school year possible by voting “yes” on Sept. 4 to approve the supplemental budget.

Portland’s bravest, since 1768 They’re often sitting out front at the Munjoy Hill fire station shooting the breeze when I go by. A good bunch of guys. You can see that they enjoy one another’s company. There’s an easy camaraderie and the laughs come readily. I got to know some of them standing in line at Colucci’s across the street before it closed after a fire this past spring.

“Aw, you don’t need another ice cream, anyway,” I yelled to them the other day as I walked by, patting my stomach and motioning over to the shuttered storefront. Brought a chuckle or two, but they’re used to good natured banter, so they’re never lacking for a quick retort.

“Got a little front porch going on for yourself there,” one of them shot back, “don’t worry, they’re opening up again this fall so you won’t have to walk way down to Seven Eleven.”

Engaging in leisurely give and take can be a way to counter what firemen are apt to experience in the course of their work day. Colucci’s fire is a good case in point.

Fires often don’t happen at convenient times and they’re not always accidental. This one took place at 3:30 in the morning and it was started by someone who was drunk and didn’t have any discernible motive. Dickie Colucci, a co-owner of the store, lived up on the third floor and confronted an intruder who managed to start a fire in a second-floor hallway closet before the police arrived. The firefighters from across the street were there in a flash and ran into the burning building, but when they got inside the fire had already made such headway that the first thing they had to do was make sure the residents of the three apartments escaped down a narrow rear staircase.

The three apartments got completely burned out but, fortunately, no people were hurt. Sadly, though, two pet cats and Dickie’s dog, Sadie, a Bernese Mountain Dog who was the store’s mascot and very popular with the firefighters, were overcome by smoke and died.

That’s the way fires are. Quick, brutal, terrifying. Our most basic primal instinct is to run out of a building at the first whiff of smoke. Yet there are those among us who take it on themselves to run into raging fires to save lives. They do it without hesitation, and generally without thanks

or recognition.

There’s a very readable and fascinating book, “The Blackened Shield,”

by Lieutenant Don Whitney, a Portland firefighter in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, that gets its title from the author’s having had his helmet shield “blackened and battered from countless battles with the enemy.” In the book, Lieutenant Whitney says that when he was a kid growing up in what he describes as a working class neighborhood of Portland, he was in absolute awe of firemen. The course of his life was set, he said, when he saw that when there was a fire and people were screaming and running from the burning building, there were people who were running in, and when he realized that they were doing so to save lives, he knew that he had found his calling.

Lieutenant Whitney describes what fighting a fire in a downtown Portland restaurant in the early 1970s was like when the ceiling caved in amidst all the heat and smoke: “When firefighters work in a fire, they work in zero visibility and depend heavily on the sense of touch to move around. Consider crawling blindfolded through a restaurant with all the tables and chairs catching on your arms and coat buckles, then a rigid net is dropped on you ... when that ceiling fell it felt like a metallic spider’s web, where every move gets the victim more and more entangled.”

“Am I going to get fried right here?” was the firefighter’s first thought.

How’s that for a day’s work? Makes one feel a little sheepish about seething over that remark a co-worker made the other day, or griping about the water in the office water cooler being not quite cold enough.

When I stopped by Central Station to look over the recently installed Fallen Firefighters Memorial the extent of the firefighters’ regard for one another and their profession got impressed upon me in a very meaningful way. As I was about to step onto the brick walkway that leads to the memorial that bears the names of the twenty Portland firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty since the beginning of the twentieth-century, I saw that there was a lone firefighter standing in front of the tall slab of Indian black granite slowly reading down the list of names, obviously lost in thought. My first reaction was to

approach him for a quote, but I immediately thought better of it. Words, after all, are only words.

On the other side of Central Station is the Firemen’s Statue, which was paid for by public donations and erected by the Firemen’s Monument Association in 1898. The sculptor was Edward Griffin, a nineteenth-century firefighter who served at the Munjoy Hill fire station. The statue originally sat on the Western Prom, but was moved to Evergreen cemetery in 1910, where it stayed until 1987, when it was moved to its present location.

The firefighter who was used as a model for the statue in 1898, Benjamin Sawyer, was a Portland firefighter for fifty-three years, as was his father before him for forty-seven years. An interesting sidenote, and one of those

instances that go to show how small a place Portland really is, is that the Benjamin Sawyer who was used as the model was the grandfather of the Benjamin Sawyer who started Benny’s, a popular restaurant today down on West Commercial Street.

And, get this: At the time the statue was created, Benjamin Sawyer, the model for the statue and Benny’s grandfather, lived with his family in the quarters up over Central Station with his family, as firefighters sometimes did then, and Benny’s grandmother gave birth to Benny’s father up there.

out with conservatives — imagine that, a politician who gets along with folks.

Nationally, the two major parties are losing voters to “indy” status and the changes in election funding laws empower new forms of political action groups.

It remains hard to imagine any affection arising toward political parties in the coming months.

If you study Maine’s chief executive history — or for that matter Google “Clinton” and “Perot” — you see exactly what a split vote can create. Squint hard enough and you can see an event horizon where moderates like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and what-the-heck Democrats like Dean seek their own Third Way. When that happens, we should note that the Maine tea leaves tell us the only real issue in our

2014 governor’s race is if the 62 percent of people who did not vote for the incumbent last time around unite around a single candidate or split their vote.

The third way is our present. I’m guessing it becomes the nation’s future.

News behind the pay wall

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OPINION –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In light of Amazon.com boss Jeff Bezos’ recent bargain acquisition of the Washington Post for $250 million, an editor friend of mine lamented the now de rigueur practice of print newspapers requiring paid premium sections of their online editions.

However, in the same breath, he was quick to add: “But what do I know? I don’t need to pay the publisher’s bills.”

This long-time journalist was wise to caveat his assessment.

Internet news proliferation is one of the vexing questions for print publishers nationwide.

The problem for those who banked on the free online news model of the 1990s is how to go back and undo what consumers have grown to expect.

For example, The New York Times stock is now worth somewhere in the neighborhood of two issues of its Sunday print edition. Given this, paying for From the the electronic version is a hard Stacks sell for the Times’ increasingly younger audience that stopped buying paper copies years ago.

Operating in the red more often than not, the Times finally relented and followed the lead of its cross-town rival, The Wall Street Journal, which was one of the first media outlets to move to a paid subscription model for its Internet version.

The fact that the Journal is a perennial in-theblack operator might have something to do with that. Along with USA Today, it jockeys back and forth between the top two spots in national circulation.

But the main issue that faces publishers everywhere remains the same, and harkens back to the expansion of online enterprises as well as the evolution of the news business.

During the 1990s Internet boom, free information was considered essential, a consumer convenience at the click of a PC mouse.

But this premise turned out to be a death knell for many newspapers. More recently, we have seen the demise of many major publications, either totally or in print: In the past decade, the Rocky Mountain

tent, but if you wanted full access, you had to pay a fee.

This stemmed from the previous failure of many news moguls to see that by providing unlimited free content online, they devalued their print product. So for customers to value the quality of news delivered, media companies today must bank on their willingness to pay a nominal price for its availability.

Those with foresight created bona fide revenue streams offering yearround relief from the same cash-flow problems plaguing the Times — which was saved in recent years by a $250 million loan and 7 percent ownership stake

From Washington to Paris, the appeal worked.

In Tahrir Square in 2011, at the time of the uprising, nothing was more uplifting than seeing Westernized Egyptian liberals and the Muslim Brotherhood make common cause in the idea of citizenship based on equal rights for all. Here, it seemed, lay the possibility — however fragile — for the largest Arab society to escape the tired, deceptive secular and Islamist labels and so open up the possibility of a representative and inclusive society.

It was not to be — and this failure will have devastating consequences, inside and outside Egypt.

Islamist ire has been fed and the perception of Western hypocrisy reinforced at the very moment when ways out of this impasse appeared possible.

So while the Post’s recent sale was independent of Amazon.com, expect Mr. Bezos to find completely different ways to package and present its many products, not just news, to worldwide consumers.

The other quieter but no less important trend is that of nonprofit online-only media coverage.

Already, here in New England, one example is the staying power of neophyte VTDigger.org, a project of the Vermont Journalism Trust.

To date, it has shown the same hybrid ability as Yahoo! to tap into solid offerings from other outlets, as well as slowly develop its own internal news arm

to cover in-state stories, where it wisely focuses.

While far more grass-roots, it has grown its fundraising arm and landed numerous major sponsors, an essential element for survival.

This is the continuing saga of online news. No one seems to have a clear answer as to its future, but publishers everywhere are juggling both paid and free models.

And, as my friend astutely noted, none of us have to pay their bills.

That said, the news world continues to evolve, and traditional publishers would do well to stay ahead of it. Two trends are worth watching.

This amounts to a colossal strategic failure COHEN from page 8

In fact the violent splits nurtured over decades under Mubarak — Westernized liberals against backward Islamists — proved insurmountable. By last month, just a year after the nation’s first free election brought the Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi to power with 51.7 percent of the vote, millions of decent Egyptian liberals were roaring in the streets for the military to oust him. The army obliged in the July 3 coup that will not speak its name.

Now the Saudi-backed Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi, Egypt’s military leader, rails against “the terrorists” who (he insists) constitute the Brotherhood, and has his newly subservient media echo the refrain.

More than 1,000 Egyptians are dead. There is talk of banning the Brotherhood; certainly its participation in any future election is impossible to imagine. In its absence no vote will be meaningful. Egyptian democracy was stillborn.

Far from overcoming the divisions of the society where close to 25 percent of the world’s Arabs live, the developments of the past two-and-a-half years have sharpened them. Egypt’s polarizing spiral, evident in Islamist attacks on Coptic Christian churches and the killing of at least two dozen police officers in Sinai, seems unstoppable.

For the United States and Europe, this amounts to a colossal strategic failure. Nothing — and certainly not the outcome in Afghanistan or Iraq — was more important than getting Egypt right. President Obama, who began his presidency with an attempt to build bridges to the Arab and Muslim world through a speech in Cairo, has seen his greatest failure in that very city. Post-Tahrir Egypt stands now as a monument to America’s declining influence in the world, even in a nation receiving $1.5 billion in annual aid.

All that American money translated into no ability to restrain a largely American-trained military (including General Sisi). It translated into little ability to persuade Morsi to reach out beyond the Brotherhood and refrain from railroading through a divisive constitution.

The Obama administration has appeared hesitant and wavering, zigzagging from support for Morsi to acceptance of his ouster. The critical moment came before the July 3 coup (“a violent or illegal change in government” according to the Oxford English Dictionary). A military intervention was almost certain to end badly. It was a terrible precedent. But Secretary of State John Kerry offered the view that the army was “restoring democracy.”

Just as bad, Obama said this: “While Mohamed Morsi was elected president in a democratic election, his government was not inclusive and did not respect the views of all Egyptians.” Those are dangerous words from an American president. They seem to relegate the importance of a free and fair vote.

What now? A knee-jerk reaction would be to cut off U.S. military aid. That, however, would only increase the possibility of internal and regional mayhem. It is tempting, given the Egyptian military’s unconscionable attack on its own citizens, but should be resisted. The real lesson in Egypt is of America’s dwindling power under a wavering president whose hesitancy reflects that of most Americans after a decade of interventions. The price Egypt will pay has only just begun to be reckoned.

Doubront follows streak loss with big win

By Ken Levinsky

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Former Portland Sea Dogs pitcher Felix Doubront lost his steak of 16 consecutive starts of allowing only three or fewer runs last Friday in Boston against the New York Yankees.

The 25-year-old lefty (9-6, 3.79 ERA) bounced back strongly on Wednesday however, with eight scoreless innings at San Francisco, allowing just one run, one walk and five hits.

Doubront’s streak was the best for any Boston pitcher (lefty or righty) since Pedro Martinez went 18 games in 2001 and 23 games in 2000. Roger Clemens holds the all-time Sox mark at 32 games. The only lefty ahead of Doubront is Babe Ruth with 18 games.

Doubront pitched for the Sea Dogs exclusively in 2009, again in 2010 before being promoted, and once in 2011 for a rehab start The Portland Sea Dogs (62-67) are on their final and most important road trip of the season. They must gain ground on New Hampshire and Trenton who they trail in the playoff hunt by one and a half and five games, respectively. The top two clubs in each division will compete in the Eastern League post-season, and Binghamton has already clinched first place.

Portland will play eight critical games at Trenton and New Hampshire, before returning home for a regular season ending five-game make or break series with Trenton beginning next Friday, Aug. 30 at 6 p.m.

Sea Dogs games can be heard on WPEI 95.5/ 95.9 FM Portland, WEZR 1240 AM Lewiston/Auburn, WKTQ 1450 AM South Paris and WTME 780 AM Rumford. Coverage begins 20

minutes prior to the first pitch with the pre-game show. The talented and informative Mike Antonellis, the playby-play announcer, returns to Port-

land for his ninth season, (17th season overall) in Minor League Baseball.

Honored as the 2009 Eastern League Broadcaster of the Year, Antonellis

also serves as the host of the Saturday Morning Jab on Big Jab Radio (96.3 FM and 1440 AM).

Former Portland Sea Dog centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury has been a key to the Boston Red Sox success this year. Ellsbury leads all major leaguers with 46 stolen bases and is batting .299.

‘Luz’ at Portland Stage dabbles in the surreal Page 12 — The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Friday, August 23, 2013

‘I try to pick out the audience’s imagination,’ Mariscal comments

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

A new dance performance at Portland Stage promises to tell a story without a storyline.

Esduardo Mariscal’s “Luz,” which runs through Saturday on the main stage, will shed light on several of life’s major themes, through dance movements and music. There is no narrative, per se. Instead, the show features a series of images or vignettes.

“I try to pick out the audience’s imagination,” Mariscal said. “If there is a story, they will have to finish it.”

“Luz” is a new production, but the show “brings to light, to life, the pieces I’ve been working on, some of them for years,” he said. “I’m playing with the themes of life, mostly. As in life, there is death. In order to show light, we have to show a little bit of dark.”

There will be comedic scenes, set to lively music called “Pictures in an Exhibition.”

“I try to present the audience with images that contain movement, trying to create a type of thinking in human beings, with a focus on the visual. It’s relatively abstract, mostly surreal,” he said.

Nonetheless, an audience not familiar with dance will still be able to take something in their minds when they leave, he said, and fans will like the multi-media aspects of the performance.

Twenty-one years ago, Mariscal came up with the concept of “comic surrealism.”

He grew up and learned to dance in Sonora, Mexico, where he created an international dance festival, called “Un Diersto para la Danza,” or “A Desert for Dance.”

“The festival is focused on contemporary dance, and held in the northwest region of Mexico, near the desert. We want the performers to bring all of their talents with them.”

Over the years, Mariscal has collaborated with the Bates Dance Festival, as a performer and teacher.

With help from a grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts, Mariscal brought several performers from Bates with him to Mexico for the festival there. He moved to New York City in 1995 and to Maine a year later.

In “Luz,” Mariscal purposely shows characters not

necessarily related to each other, and goes so far as to distort his own themes.

“It’s like seeing a painting with fruit, then I make it a little more Cezanne, then a little more Picasso, then a little more Pollack,” he said. “In the process of building the image, I almost betray myself and go further with the distortion. It’s a little complicated, and I don’t expect the audience to understand so much as to feel.”

While creating the show, Mariscal let things take their own course. In an organic process, he invited the performers to come up with movements of their own, and then he choreo- AT TOP: Esduardo Mariscal (in shorts) gathers his dancers for inspirational words before a practice of “Luz” (Light), showing at the Portland Stage Company, main stage.

Trail to Ale: ‘Quintessential Portland’; fall event filling up rapidly

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The annual Trail to Ale race and walk is ready for another year, and spots are starting to fill up quickly.

Portland Trails is once again ready to host the 14th annual Trail to Ale 10K on Sunday, Sept. 22 — complete with its ever popular post-race get together — and once again offers runners and walkers a chance to traverse the city’s trail system, according to Kara Wooldrik, executive director of Portland Trails. The race starts at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22 on the Eastern Promenade with the finish line near the East End Beach.

Wooldrik said there are 2,300 spots available for this year’s race and 1,300 are already taken. She said the number of registrants is ahead of where they’ve been in the past with the race still weeks away.

“We have a good sense that it will fill up eventually,” she said.

Wooldrik said it’s a great event and people enjoy it because it’s fun, people can get out on the trails, meet new people and be active.

“It is definitely a favorite race of Portland,” she said.

This year’s route will start on the Eastern Promenade, near the base of Quebec Street, before continuing to Washington Avenue, Fox Street, Anderson Street and then connecting with the Bayside Trail.

The Bayside Trail will route runners and walkers to the Back Cove Trail before connecting with the Eastern Promenade Trail and crossing the finishing line.

Wooldrik said there’s a practice run of the course coming up on Sept. 13 so people can check out the route before the event. She said it’s a great way for runners and walkers to get comfortable with the course and the distance.

Following the race, runners and walkers will be able to attend the after party hosted by Shipyard Brewing, Portland Pie Company, Whole Foods, Cabot Creamery Cooperating with music by DJ David Skye, according to a press release. Wooldrik said the Cutter Street lot will be the venue this year but still offer runners and walkers a chance to have some pizza, drink a beer, get a massage, do some yoga and

catch some entertainment.

Yoga will be available before and after the race, according to Wooldrik, and massages during the after party.

Wooldrik said the event is supported by sponsors and about 150 volunteers. She said Portland Trails is now looking for people to help out with the event.

The Trail to Ale race is a chance for people to welcome the fall, check out the trails, have some fun and enjoy some snacks and a drink with friends.

“It’s quintessential Portland,” she said.

To accommodate the start of the race, the Eastern Promenade will be closed and parking will be unavailable from the Cushing Memorial, at the base of Congress Street, to Washington Avenue from 8 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. Cutter Street will be closed from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., though the street will remain passable for boaters coming to and from the boat launch.

Race registration costs $30 and includes snacks and beverages at the after party. The annual race is one of Portland Trails’ largest fundraisers.

More information on the annual Trail to Ale race is available at www.trails.org.

to the appropriate person. Hint: People who can’t organize their own thoughts won’t be able to organize others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll come face to face with many sides of human nature today: friendly, impatient, concerned, frustrated, confused and more. The best part of your day will involve helping people into a better state of mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because there is so much competing for your attention, you’ll appreciate people who can simply state a need or tell you exactly what to do.

Those people will also be your gateway to good fortune.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are consequences to every action, but some take much, much longer to realize. You will now experience the result of something you did many years ago.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23). You’ll follow intuitive nudges into a sweet deal in the next 10 weeks. This could start a new career.

A virtual friend will become an actual friend in September. December brings a welcome change in your family. January is your shot at the big leagues. March shows renovations to your home or image. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 27, 26, 1 and 9.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Polite niceties are important and cannot be skipped.

They can, however, be presented out of order.

Say the thing that sparks the most interest first, and people will remember you and your message fondly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get the chance to develop an interest that is unusual or so outside of your main focus that you can’t see how it could possibly help you reach a goal -- and yet it will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You accept the various personality differences that make up your social landscape. You don’t expect people to behave in the way that you prefer or can predict. These habits allow you to have a complaint-free existence today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s another one of those days to hold some of your stories back. It will help you tune in to others and listen more carefully. You’ll glean valuable information from the nuances of how people are talking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though you like to see the evidence that people love you, you find it embarrassing at times, too.

You can’t control the flow of attention coming at you, but you’ll deflect it well today if it’s unwanted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Regardless of how important you are to the team (and you are very important), you may not be treated as an individual now. You won’t mind, though, as you feel the surge of power that comes from being a part of something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For someone to appreciate what you do, he or she will have to experience it. This is one reason to delegate a job to someone who is not really qualified to do it, but who nonetheless should have the experience of trying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Big ideas that are not presented with the fanfare they deserve will go unrecognized in a sea of mediocrity. Don’t let this happen to you. Present your idea in the kind of light that will make it shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be doling out work, so be sure to fit each job

Yesterday’s Answer

The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Friday, August 23, 2013— Page 15

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Aug. 23, the 235th day of 2013. There are 130 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 23, 1973, a bank robbery-turnedhostage-taking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome.”

On this date: In 1305, Scottish rebel leader Sir William Wallace was executed by the English for treason.

In 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.”

In 1858, “Ten Nights in a Bar-room,” a play by Timothy Shay Arthur about the perils of drinking alcohol, opened in New York.

In 1912, actor, dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly was born Eugene Curran Kelly in Pittsburgh.

In 1913, Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue, inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story, was unveiled in the harbor of the Danish capital.

In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World War I. In 1926, silent film star Rudolph Valentino died in New York at age 31.

In 1927, amid protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery.

In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the MolotovRibbentrop Pact, in Moscow.

In 1944, Romanian prime minister Ion Antonescu was dismissed by King Michael, paving the way for Romania to abandon the Axis in favor of the Allies.

In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, 65, died in Doylestown, Pa. In 1982, Lebanon’s parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president; however, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.

Ten years ago: Former priest John Geoghan, the convicted child molester whose prosecution sparked the sex abuse scandal that shook the Roman Catholic Church nationwide, died after another inmate attacked him in a Massachusetts prison. All-Star baseball player Bobby Bonds, slugger Barry Bonds’ father, died at age 57.

Five years ago: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced his choice of running mate, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, before a crowd outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. Two foreign journalists, Canadian Amanda Lindhout and Australian Nigel Brennan, were kidnapped near Mogadishu, Somalia; both were freed after 15 months in captivity. At the Beijing Olympics, the United States won gold in the women’s and men’s 1,600-meter relay track events.

The U.S. women’s basketball team beat Australia 92-65 to win a fourth straight gold medal.

One year ago: First lady Michelle Obama consoled relatives of worshippers gunned down at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee. Lance Armstrong chose not to pursue arbitration in the drug case brought against him by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, setting the stage for his Tour de France titles to be stripped and his name to be all but wiped from the record books of the sport he once ruled.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 20 years. He has four children with his ex-wife, who lives nearby. The divorce was not pleasant, and my husband still has a lot of resentment. Neither of us is comfortable around the ex.

So how do I explain to my 30-year-old stepdaughter, “Susie,” that when we have gatherings with his kids, we don’t want to include their mother? Three of their kids live in the area and can visit Mom whenever they wish. When Susie comes into town, all of the kids gather at their mother’s, and she never invites us. That’s fine. But for some reason, Susie feels that since her mother is single and “alone,” she should be invited to our home whenever Susie is in town.

Until now, I’ve been nice about it and included her. But I recently found out that the ex has been saying hurtful things about me to the kids, who apparently don’t defend me. I’ve always made myself available for emergency calls, babysitting the grandchildren, etc. How do I handle the next visit?

-- No Longer So Nice Dear No: With kindness. The ex is going to say bitter things, and when her kids are with her, they don’t defend you because it would create a problem with their mother.

We urge you not to make an issue of this. They obviously have a decent relationship with you, and this should not be taken lightly. It’s also possible that Mom, with her own insecurities, is pressuring Susie. You don’t have to include her in everything you plan, but please be the bigger person and do so when you can.

Dear Annie: I’m a healthy, active, happily married 61-year-old female. I work part time, but after all these years, I find the work monotonous. I exercise and socialize at the local fitness facility, but that’s kind of same old, same old. Then I go home, do some cleaning and organizing, and

end up looking for things to do.

I don’t know where I’m going or what to do with myself.

My husband is a few years younger. We have different interests, so he isn’t going to be helpful. I keep an eye open for volunteer opportunities, but haven’t seen anything that’s a good fit. I know I’m lucky and am not complaining. But do you have any suggestions for me? -- Montreal West Island, Quebec Dear Quebec: First, decide where your interests lie. Do you enjoy the arts? Join a choir or theater group. Sign up for an art class or learn guitar. Do you like working with kids? Volunteer with a literacy program or at a children’s hospital. Interested in civics? Offer your time to a local politician, or check city hall for opportunities to make a difference in your community. Can you help at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen? What about your local library or chamber of commerce? Try meetup.com or the Red Hat Society (redhatsociety.org). You may need to try out a few places before you find something that’s a “good fit,” but please don’t give up. Many places would welcome someone with your energy.

Dear Annie: “California” wondered whether it was rude to read his hosts’ newspaper before they woke up. I, too, like to read my paper with my morning coffee.

Here’s my solution: When I travel, I take my home paper with me. I then buy a local paper at a gas station, convenience store or some place in the town I am visiting. I tend to buy additional papers from surrounding towns. Since the people I am visiting usually subscribe to only one newspaper, they enjoy reading the additional ones I bring. That way, I have several papers to read at my leisure, and my hosts have theirs. -- Another Early News Addict

Talbot Ross: With ‘I Have A Dream’ event in Portland, young people can relate to issues

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Rachel Talbot Ross, president of the Portland NAACP, holds a copy of an original program from the 1963 March on Washington. She said one goal of a panel discussion and commemoration on Tuesday in Portland to mark the 50th anniversary is to reach young people. “I bet if you were to poll a number of young people, particularly young people of color in Portland, they would relate to the issues that they were fighting for at that time,” she said. (DAVID CARKHUFF PHOTO)

On Saturday, in Washington, D.C., the NAACP — the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization — will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.

A crowd will meet at the Lincoln Memorial at 8 a.m., followed by a march to the Washington Monument. The speaking program begins at 9 a.m.

In Portland, to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s. “I Have A Dream” speech and the March on Washington, a panel discussion of “memories, reflections and challenges for the 21st century” will take place Tuesday, Aug. 27, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Portland Public Library.

Rachel Talbot Ross, president of the Portland NAACP, said one goal of Tuesday’s forum is to reach young people who may not understand all of what happened in 1963.

“I think it’s hard for them to relate to the actual march, but they certainly relate to the issues, which at that time were to fight for jobs and economic prosperity and freedom and equal access and opportunity,” Talbot Ross said Thursday. “I bet if you were to poll a number of young people, particularly young people of color in Portland, they would relate to the issues that they were fighting for at that time. They may not remember the specific march on Washington.”

Although Talbot Ross noted that she “grew up with it” — her father, Gerald Talbot, one of Tuesday’s panelists, was the first AfricanAmerican to be elected to the Maine legislature and was in Washington, D.C. in 1963 for the March on Washington. But young people today may only have a vague grasp of what the march represented. Yet Talbot Ross said young people of color still struggle with similar challenges.

“The issues unfortunately are tragically still the same,” she said. “Even in our own state we can point to all the disparities based on race, in education, economic development, health and health care, the justice system, we don’t have to go far to see and feel the impact of race negatively on the quality of life.”

The forum at the library will include participation from the younger generation.

“We do have a couple of young people who participate in the program, they’re part of the NAACP King Fellows Program, and they will read excerpts from the famous ‘I Have A Dream’ speech. But they’re also going to read excerpts from the ‘Letter from a Birmingham Jail’ that Dr. King penned 50 years ago, and the proclamation that the city of Portland issued,” Talbot Ross said. “Symbolically, we’ve asked a young person of color to read the proclamation from the city because it’s our hope within the next 50 years that we change the complexity of what civic engagement looks like.”

‘It was Old Testament’: MLK panel on Tuesday includes some of those from Maine who were there in D.C. in 1963 Daily Sun Staff Report In 1963, over 250,000 people marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., in the “March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom,” to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., deliver the stirring oration “I Have A Dream.” In the huge crowd there were about 100 Mainers, who had traveled all night by bus and truck to stand in the stifling heat.

None of them would ever forget what they heard that day.

In 2013, several of them are gathering again to share their memories after 50 years.

A panel of Mainers who joined the “March on Washington” for one of the 1960s most remarkable moments will be sharing their stories on Tuesday, Aug. 27, form 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Rines Auditorium in the Portland Public Library. The event is free and open to the public.

The panel will include Attorney Harold Pachios, then the congressional liaison for the Peace Corps; Hon. Gerald Talbot, later the first African-American to be elected to the Maine legislature; Larry Burris, one of the early members of the Portland NAACP; and Kim Matthews, then a young summer intern in D.C. “All of them ended up witnessing one of the iconic moments in U.S. civil rights history,” said former State Rep. Herb Adams, who organized the event and will act as moderator. “And all of them have quite a tale to tell.” see MARCH page 19 RIGHT: This historic photo shows participants returning from the 1963 March in Washington, D.C., after the “I Have a Dream” speech.

Race equality is still a work in progress, survey finds

By Sam Roberts THE NEW YORK TIMES

Fewer than one in three black Americans and not even half of whites say the United States has made “a lot” of progress toward achieving racial equality in the half-century since the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declared he had “a dream” that one day freedom, justice and brotherhood would prevail and that his children would “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

As the nation is poised to observe the 50th anniversary next week of the March on Washington that Dr. King led, the poll and an analysis of racial disparities by the Pew Research Center conclude that while five decades’ progress has been palpable on some fronts, Dr. King’s goal remains elusive on others.

Blacks and whites generally agree that the two races get along well, but about 7 in 10 blacks and more than 1 in 4 whites also concur that blacks are treated unequally by the criminal justice system. A majority of blacks also say they are treated less fairly than whites in public schools and in the workplace. Fully 1 in 3 blacks, 1 in 5 Hispanic Americans and 1 in 10 whites said they were treated unfairly within the last year because of perceptions of their race.

Though gaps in life expectancy and high school graduation rates have all but been eliminated, disparities in poverty and homeownership rates are about the

same. Compared with five decades ago, imbalances in household income and wealth, marriage and incarceration rates have widened.

Rich Morin, an author of the Pew report, said he was struck by the disparity in perceptions of progress by race and political affiliation. “Whites and blacks view their communities very differently in terms of how blacks are treated,” Mr. Morin said.

Over all, he said, “we’re clearly headed in the right direction.”

“People saw progress,” he said, “but they want more.”

The average three-member black household makes about 59 percent of what a similar white household makes — up from 55 percent in 1967 — but the income gap in actual dollars widened to $27,000 from $19,000. (The gap has widened between whites and Hispanic people, too.)

The median net worth of white households is 14 times that of black households, and blacks are nearly three times as likely to be living below the federal poverty threshold. The disparity in homeownership rates is the widest in four decades. As the Pew study noted, those realities are not lost on most Americans, only 1 in 10 of whom said the average black person is better off financially than the average white person (although more than 4 in 10 white and Hispanic respondents said the average black is about as well off as the aver-

‘The speech is remembered as rhetorical lightning — and it was,’ Adams remarks MARCH from page 18

That day, Dr. King was the 16th of 18 speakers at the Lincoln Memorial under a blazing sun that drove many marchers to soak their feet in the Reflecting Pool at the memorial’s base.

Yet it is his speech that has made the march memorable.

“The speech is remembered as rhetorical lightning — and it was,” said Adams. “Its a true Civil Rights landmark, but it is a signpost, too, showing how far America still has to go.”

Though together in a sense 50 years ago, some of the panel will actually meet for the first time on Tuesday.

Harold Pachios left the Peace Corps office to stand on a ledge above Constitution Avenue where the marchers stretched off in both directions. Swept along, he found himself at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial steps, unable to move more than a few feet.

Gerald Talbot wandered into the staging area behind the Memorial and mingled among presenters like Peter, Paul, and Mary, and baseball great Jackie Robinson. Larry Burris sought shade under a tree and bumped straight into a Navy pal he had not seen in years.

Kim Matthews took the day off from work and marched in the crowd right by her own office windows full of amazed,waving co-workers.

All remember the speech that made the march history. “It was Biblical, it was Old Testament,” remembers Burris. “King’s voice went right trough you, down to your feet, and if you weren’t moved you had nothing in you.”

“But the story doesn’t stop there those years ago. It is important to remember how much work there still is to do in Maine, and America. Equal opportunity ,equal pay, and equal rights are still just a dream for many

Mainers, regardless of age, color or faith,” said Rachel Talbot Ross, president of the Portland NAACP. Ross is also the daughter of Gerald Talbot and grew up in the movement. The Portland chapter of the NAACP was founded in 1964, a few months after the March. Gerald Talbot served as the first chapter president.

“It is important to make that lesson and the mission real and alive for a new generation of young people,” said Talbot Ross.

Adams, who organized a similar panel in Portland in 2008 for the 45th anniversary of the March on Washington, agreed.

“The real purpose in recollection is recognizing challenge. The panel is not just about the American past. It is about Maine’s future. Does our society have what its takes? Come hear what the witnesses have to say.”

A Q & A session will follow the panel presentation. Memorabilia from the actual march will be on display, some of it for the first time.

Others who attended the march and the speech are encouraged to attend and share their stories in the Q & A session.

The evening will be filmed for distribution to local schools.

“Like Dr. King, in their own words, the panel will be giving a gift to the future,” said Adams.

The event is sponsored by The Portland Chapter of the NAACP, the city of Portland, the Portland Public Library, and former Rep. Adams.

For details call the Portland Public Library program department at 8711700, ext. 723.

age white).

Though marriage rates have generally declined over all, about 55 percent of whites and 31 percent of blacks 18 and older are married, compared with 74 percent of whites and 61 percent of blacks in 1960, a reflection, in part, of differences in educational attainment.

The gap in college completion rates rose to 13 percentage points from 6 (although the black completion rate, as a percentage of the white rate, has improved to 62 percent from 42 percent. The Hispanic rate remains at 42 percent).

In 1960, black men were five times as likely as white men to be in local, state or federal prison. Fifty years later, black men are six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated and Hispanic men three times as likely.

The historic disparity in voter turnout evaporated in 2012 with the re-election of President Obama, yet euphoria over his election has faded. Both blacks and whites were much less likely this year to say black people were better off than five years earlier than they did in a 2009 Pew survey after Mr. Obama’s first election. The latest nationwide survey of 2,200 adults was conducted this month after the Supreme Court in June effectively gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, freeing nine states to change their election laws without advance federal approval.

“Our country has changed,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority.

Portland school district receives $11,000 for music programs Daily Sun Staff Reports The Portland Music Boosters, a nonprofit group supporting and promoting music programs in the Portland Public Schools, has donated approximately $11,000 to the district, school officials reported.

About two-thirds of the money, $7,050, will go to individual schools’ music programs. The remaining sum of $3,875 will be spent repairing musical instruments owned by the school department and possibly purchasing new instruments.

“These donations, and the continued support of our music program over the years, have been a blessing for our teachers, students and families,” said Portland Superintendent Emmanuel Caulk.

Julianne Eberl, a district music teacher, noted that donations from the Portland Music Boosters made it possible for the middle and high school orchestra program to build its performance library with original orchestrations and scores.

“We are truly grateful for the opportunities they have created for our talented young musicians,” she added.

Dream Ride 2013 helps raise awareness for Special Olympics Today, nearly 100 bikers from Maine will depart from four Maine Harley Dealer locations and travel to Connecticut to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics, organizers reported.

The Maine Bikers will be participating in Dream Ride 2013, a motorcycle ride to raise funds for and an awareness of Special Olympics.

Four satellite locations will feature riders departing from Maine: Central Maine Harley in Hermon will depart Friday morning at 9 a.m., North Country Harley in Augusta will leave at 2 p.m. on Friday, L-A Harley in Lewsiton will depart at 11 a.m. and Big Moose Harley n Portland will depart at 11 a.m.

Special Olympics Maine athletes will be on hand at the sendoffs in Portland, Hermon and Lewiston, the organization reported.

Dream Ride is an event to celebrate the achievements of Special Olympics athletes, an opportunity to highlight their determination and willingness to persevere and to recognize their efforts to overcome challenges and shatter stereotypes. Dream Ride “is a weekend to applaud and honor these outstanding men, women, and children living with intellectual disabilities in our communities,” a press release explained.

Since its inception in 2001, Dream Ride has donated over $1,725,000 to help Special Olympics, and its popularity has grown, the press release noted. Last year’s Dream Ride attracted car and motorcycle enthusiasts as well.

CMP warns customers of scam calls Citing likely scams, Central Maine Power Company reported a recent rash of calls from customers who have received bill collection calls from a person claiming to represent CMP. Some customers have been instructed to deposit cash or a money order into bogus accounts through convenience store cash transfer systems, the utility reported. Others have been instructed to call a specified number and provide financial information for the payment. The caller has tried to work his deception mostly on the owners of small businesses and restaurants in the Lewiston-Auburn, Portland and Augusta areas, CMP reported.

CMP is alerting customers to this scam and reminding the public that CMP will not call a customer for payment if his or her account is in good standing. Customers who need to make an urgent payment should do so only through the CMP website, or at one of the payment agents listed on the website

at www.cmpco.com.

Customers who have any questions about a call for an overdue payment are urged to contact CMP by calling 1-800-750-4000.

Railroad crossing repairs planned on Route 231 in Gray Center area On Monday, Aug. 26, crews will be conducting railroad crossing safety repairs on Route 231 near the intersection of Woodman Road beginning at 7 a.m., the Maine Department of Transportation reported.

Repairs will be completed by early evening on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

These repairs will result in a road closure to all traffic at this location, a Maine DOT press release noted, but it is anticipated one lane will be open for motorists by mid-day on Tuesday, with a completion scheduled for early evening.

Signs and message boards will guide motorists along the detour route which includes Depot Hill Road to Route 115 into Gray Center, then to Route 100.

This work, performed by Pan Am Railways, will include replacing a section of rail prior to repaving the area.

This project is in addition to railroad repairs scheduled for the Morse Road in New Gloucester.

Governor reports on meeting with Nova Scotia official regarding ferry Maine Gov. Paul LePage welcomed Nova Scotia’s economic development minister to Maine on Wednesday as talks continued on the development of a new ferry service between the two regions, the governor’s office reported.

The governor met with Graham Steele, the province’s Minister of Economic and Rural Development, at the Ocean Gateway in Portland, according to a press release.

During the meeting, Steele provided an update on Nova Scotia’s plans as it moves forward with negotiations with STM Quest — the Maine-based company — chosen to set up and run a new ferry service between Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and Portland.

“Since 2009, Nova Scotia and Maine have missed a critical link between our citizens and economies,” said LePage. “On behalf of the people of Maine, we welcome restoration of this important service and economic driver.”

“I’m really pleased with the response of the State and City leaders that I met with in Maine,” said Minister Steele.

South Portland paving to require detour Monday A paving project on Broadway between Lincoln Street and Route 1 (Cash Corner) in South Portland will require a detour around this area beginning on Monday, Aug. 26, but, weather permitting, normal traffic patterns should return by Sept.

7, the Maine Department of Transportation reported.

Westbound traffic (outbound) on Broadway will be detoured onto Lincoln Street to Main Street to Cash Corner. Eastbound traffic on Broadway will not be affected.

South Portland Bus Service Maine Mall Route 24B will also follow the detour route.

This detour will be in place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with possible Saturdays, a press release stated.

The entire project, performed by Shaw Brothers of Gorham, begins at the intersection of Broadway and Westbrook Street, extending northerly for 1.54 miles to one-tenth of a mile before the intersection of Broadway and Lincoln Street in South Portland.

This $641,000 project is expected to wrap up for the season during the first week of November.
