Pentagon sees Syrian military, not chemical sites, as target

By Thom Shanker, C.J. Chivers and Michael R. Gordon THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — President Obama is considering a range of limited military actions against Syria that are designed to “deter and degrade” the ability of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to launch chemical weapons, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.

Although no final decisions have been made, it is likely that the attacks would not be focused on chemical weapons storage sites, even though the Obama administration says the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian military is the trigger for the planned attack. They said any effort to target chemical sites risks an environmental and humanitarian disaster and could open up the sites to raids by militants.

Instead, the American assault would be aimed at military units thought to have carried out chemical attacks, the rockets and artillery that have launched the attacks and the headquarters overseeing the effort, the officials said.

One key question facing Mr. Obama and his advisers is whether such a limited attack would compel a change in tactics of the Assad regime — which has killed tens of thousands of civilians with conventional weapons — or weaken Mr. Assad to the point that he would seek a negotiated settlement to Syria’s civil war.

An American official familiar with the military planning said that the initial target list has fewer than 50 sites, including air bases where Syria’s Russian-made attack helicopters are deployed. The list includes command and control locations as well as a variety of conventional military targets, official said. Like several other military officials contacted for this report, the official agreed to discuss planning

options only on condition of anonymity.

Planners said that although suspected chemical weapons depots are seductive targets, they are too risky.

“That is a hairy business,” the official said. “Our interest is in keeping the chemical weapons secured. You hit a bunker that holds chemical weapons and all of a sudden you have chemical weapons loose.”

Even within the limited mission envisioned for now by the Obama administration, there are some American officials who are urging expanding the target list to include at least military units commanded

by Assad family members and loyalists and even presidential compounds.

Officials anticipated that a first round of attacks would be followed by a pause to assess the damage and the regime’s response before a potential second wave of strikes would be ordered. With few human intelligence assets on the ground, the inspection of targets after the strike would be conducted by satellite or surveillance aircraft capable of flying above the range of Syria’s highly regarded integrated air-defense system.

Officials also cautioned that arguments for a more limited strike included the fear that the refugee flow to American allies Turkey and Jordan — where the influx already is causing political concern — would increase.

And there are worries that Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants might step up terrorism around the region in retaliation.

Voices across the administration urging no action have all but silenced. But, at the other extreme of military options, a sustained air campaign designed to decapitate the leadership and allow rebels to topple the regime also has been rejected.

The Air Force maintains a vast fleet of fighter jets and long-range bombers in Europe and the Middle East that are

capable of striking Syria, but a range of officials said that, for now, the strike plans were focusing solely on sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles and that there was no intention of putting up strike aircraft, which require a large cast of supporting aircraft, including refueling tankers, combat search-and-rescue craft and early warning or electronic jamming planes.

The Navy has traditionally kept two destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean but quietly increased that number to three over recent months. By accelerating the arrival of one replacement and delaying the return of another, the Navy now has four Arleigh Burke-class destroyers within striking range of Syria: the Mahan, Barry, Gravely and Ramage.

Each carries about two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles, a low-flying, highly accurate weapon that can be launched from safe distances of up to about 1,000 miles and was used to open the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya Attack submarines also carrying Tomahawks are assumed to be on station in the Mediterranean as well.

But Tomahawk missile strikes, while politically and psychologically significant, can have a starkly limited tactical effect. The weapons are largely fuel-and-guidance systems and carry relatively small high-explosive warheads. One conventional version contains about 260 pounds of explosives, the other carries about 370 pounds. This is less than the explosive power of a single 1,000 pound air-dropped bomb.

The weapons also present certain technical risks. Naval officers and attack planners concede that the missiles are not entirely controllable for elevation near the target, and when they fly slightly high carry the risk of blast effect to structures and people behind or near the targets.

Spanish authorities arrest former JPMorgan employee

By Raphael Minder and Ben Protess THE NEW YORK TIMES

MADRID — A former employee of JPMorgan Chase was arrested in Spain on Tuesday, weeks after the United States government charged him with hiding trading losses that ultimately reached more than $6 billion.

In a brief statement, the Spanish police said the former JPMorgan trader, Javier Martin-Artajo, surrendered on Tuesday morning after they made contact with him. His case

will now work its way through Spain’s national court, whose duties include ruling on extradition requests.

Mr. Martin-Artajo, a Spaniard who worked in JPMorgan’s London office, was released soon after his surrender on Tuesday. He agreed to remain at the disposal of the Spanish judiciary, but it was unclear whether his passport was confiscated to prevent him from leaving the country, according to a judicial source who asked not to be named. The person would not confirm whether

bail was posted.

The arrest in Spain underscores the logistical hurdles the case poses for United States authorities, who recently charged Mr. Martin-Artajo and a lower-ranking former JPMorgan employee, Julien Grout.

Federal prosecutors and the F.B.I. in Manhattan initially planned to have British authorities arrest Mr. Martin-Artajo in London and begin his extradition proceedings. The authorities, people briefed on the matter said, issued an arrest warrant.

But without knowing his arrest

was planned, according to his lawyers, Mr. Martin-Artajo left London “on a long-planned vacation” to his native Spain.

Mr. Grout’s whereabouts also present a challenge to the authorities. After struggling to find work following his departure from JPMorgan, Mr. Grout left London this year for his native France, which typically does not extradite its citizens.

Mr. Grout’s lawyer, Edward Little, explained that his client also spent a brief period in the United States, where his wife’s family lives.

Candidates fill field for city’s Nov. 5 election

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

All three of the city council seats up for election in November have shaped up to be contested races.

The Nov. 5 ballot will let Portland voters choose the best suited candidates for the city council’s District 3 seat and two at-large seats. When the Monday deadline to submit signatures and nominations passed, two candidates had filed for the District 3 seat, two for one at-large seat and four for the second at-large seat.

The most contested race could be for the seat occupied by incumbent councilor Jill Duson, who was first elected in 2001. Duson’s challengers include Gregory Smaha, Christopher Shorr and Matthew Coffey. The City Clerk’s Office has not yet formally certified Shorr or Coffey for the ballot, as of Tuesday night.

The other at-large seat is the one being left vacant

by Councilor John Anton, who opted not to seek reelection.

Seeking to fill Anton’s seat are Wells Lyons, a former council candidate, and John Hinck, a former state legislator and attorney.

Lyons, an attorney and co-owner of Rogue Industries, challenged incumbent Nick Mavondones in 2012 but lost, with the seated councilor taking 55.97 percent of the vote.

Most recently, Hinck ran an unsuccessful primary campaign to become the Democratic candidate in 2012 to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Olympia Snowe (former governor Angus King ended up winning that election).

Lastly, is the District 3 seat occupied by Councilor Ed Suslovic. Suslovic, who was elected in 2010 and previously served as a state representative, is being challenged by Gregory Blouin.

Aside from the City Council races, there are three

seats up on the school board, one on the Board of Trustees for the Portland Water District and five for the Peaks Island Council.

For the two at-large seats on the school board, the city received papers from six candidates: Frederic Miller, Ralph Carmona, Anna Trevorrow, Deborah Brewer, Pious Ali and Gene Landry.

Trevorrow and Brewer have not yet been certified for the ballot.

Only one person, Laurie Davis, filed for the District 3 school board seat.

For the Board of Trustees for the Portland Water District, Nisha Swinton filed for the seat.

Out on Peaks Island, there are three three-year term seats on the council and two one-year terms on the council up for election.

Only one person, Marjorie Phyfe, filed for one of the three-year term seats. Jean Martens and Timothy Wyant filed for the two one-year term seats.

U.S. Sen. King to speak at National Mall for ‘I Have a Dream’ event Daily Sun Staff Reports In 1963, then 19-year-old Angus King joined with hundreds of thousands of people on the National Mall to watch Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deliver his historic “I Have a Dream” speech.

Today — exactly 50 years later — U.S. Sen. King, I-Maine, will again be on the National Mall, this time joining President Barack Obama and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, as well as other dignitaries, at the Let Freedom Ring Commemoration and Call to Action event at the Lincoln Memorial in honor of that historic moment, his office reported.

Senator King is scheduled to deliver brief remarks to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech from the Lincoln MemoKing rial at approximately 11:30 a.m.

“It’s an indescribable privilege to participate in this important celebration of Dr. King’s life and legacy,” King said. “His vision of faith, hope, equality and justice for all, buttressed by an unwavering belief in the power of kindness and compassion, inspired millions of Americans, as it does today, to pursue the better angels of our nature. It was an honor to witness Dr. King’s speech firsthand, and it is again an honor to lend my voice in tribute to one of our nation’s greatest and most noble leaders.”

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., extended a special invitation to Senator King to deliver remarks, knowing that Senator King watched Dr. King’s speech in person, a press release noted.

The tribute is hosted and organized by The 50th Anniversary March on Washington Coalition, which has organized a series of events to commemorate and celebrate the March on Washington. Visit http:// officialmlkdream50.com.

‘Carrie the musical’ part of USM School of Music 2013 fall season Stephen King’s horror classic, “CARRIE the musical” will get its Maine premiere this November, one of the many highlights of the 2013 fall season of the University of Southern Maine School of Music, the school reported.

“CARRIE the musical” will be performed at 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 1; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2; and 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3, according to USM. Based on the novel by King, music is by Michael Gore and lyrics by Dean Pitchford; with a book by Lawrence D. Cohen. The production will be directed

by Edward Reichert, with musical direction by Kellie Moody.

“Corthell Concert Hall comes alive with the newly reworked version of this gripping tale set in present-day Maine,” USM reported in a press release.

“Carrie White is a misfit teen. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd. At home, she’s at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie soon discovers she has a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it. This cult prom-queen musical is the perfect recipe of exciting, subversive and provoking fare for Halloween weekend.”

USM’s STEM program wins pledge from Nestlé Waters North America To encourage Maine students to pursue studies in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields, Nestlé Waters North America, the nation’s leading bottled water company, has pledged $100,000 to support the University of Southern Maine Pioneers Program, USM reported.

The USM Pioneers Program is the first collegelevel STEM honors community in Maine for highachieving students, a USM press release noted.

Now entering its third year, the Pioneers Program

consists of over 30 students engaged in advanced curriculum and highly innovative programming designed to deepen students’ knowledge in STEM and prepare them for careers after graduation.

“We recognize the importance of people entering the workforce well-trained in technology and science,” said Chairman Kim Jeffery, Nestlé Waters North America. “This is relevant to our business, where we have 800 employees in Maine working on specialized equipment, sustainably managing spring sources, and testing quality controls on our products. We support STEM education at the University of Southern Maine for the professional growth of the graduates of this program and for the vital future of Maine’s economy, “ The donation from Nestlé Waters North America will be used to cover the student scholarships and costs associated with experiential learning opportunities, the university reported. USM Pioneers receive competitive four-year scholarship packages, premium housing, a laptop computer, undergraduate research opportunities, internships, and faculty mentors. During their time in the program, students team up with faculty or corporate community partners on projects, work with business incubators and faculty projects, and are placed in internships with Maine businesses — including the Poland Spring Bottling Company, a subsidiary of Nestlé Waters North America.

Andrew Anderson, dean of USM’s College of Science, Technology, and Health, which houses the Pioneers Program, expressed gratitude for Nestlé Waters’ support.

“We are very thankful to Nestlé Waters for their continued investment in STEM at USM,” said Anderson. “Encouraging promising students with an opportunity to pursue their educational and career goals in the STEM disciplines will produce benefits that will come back to the state of Maine.

Pioneers students will become Maine’s future job creators, driving innovation-based industries in the state.”

According to USM’s website, http://usm.maine. edu/pioneers, “By graduation, Pioneer scholars will have completed 1,000 hours of high-impact, experiential learning opportunities designed to deepen their knowledge in STEM and to prepare them for careers after graduation.”

The new normal: mainstreaming the extreme

They say “truth is stranger than fiction” and we certainly have some incredible examples as of late, so much so that it makes you wonder if recent headlines weren’t actually some bad-on-purpose movie where things like sharknados are actually real.

The kinds of civil liberties violations, peak misogyny, the mainstreaming of rape culture, and abuses of corporate power that are common place today would have seemed unthinkable by society — and most certainly unspeakable — just twenty years ago.

In New York, for example, Michele Catalano had been searching online for pres––––– sure cookers to cook quinoa Guest while her husband had been Opinion browsing for a new backpack.

Suddenly, the police were on their doorstep interrogating them about pressure cooker bombs. Don’t worry, though; the NSA is only tracking metadata (not content) on people outside of the U.S. And, speaking of Big Brother... it’s bad enough that politicians from North Carolina to Ohio have been dragging women’s reproductive freedom to the kind of low places usually reserved for country songs, but did the Texas statehouse security really have to confiscate tampons, too? That just puts the hashtag in #awkward.

In related news, Yale University just announced their new policy for addressing the issue of “nonconsensual sex” (often called “rape” by us laypeople). Rapists will be given “written reprimands” while victims will continue attending classes alongside them. Over in Steubenville, the hacker who exposed the Steubenville rape case could very well spend more time in jail for exposing the crime than the rapists will for committing it. But fear

Fly me to the moon “Now there was a little fly and he flew into a store And he sh*t upon the ceiling and he sh*t upon the floor And he sh*t upon the bacon and he sh*t upon the ham And he sh*t upon the head of the little grocery man.”

— Chorus of “The Fly” (A traditional Celtic song) With the leaves changing and the days growing shorter, the annual Drosophila melnogaster (a.k.a. fruit fly) infiltration is fully abuzz. Not a restaurant or bar in Greater Portland can deny it, and the little bastards become the bane of our existence industry wide.

Poking around town during the weekend (call it field research), I spoke with a few bartenders who shared horror stories about the seasonal plague. Not surprisingly, no one wanted to be mentioned by name, much less pose for a photo opportunity next to a swarm of fruit flies having a family reunion.

The little menaces are obviously named for their stealth ability to hitch a ride on a Native Maine or SYSCO truck but once inside, it’s bigger than that. According to Michael F. Potter, extension

Natalie Ladd ––––– What It’s Like

entomologist at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, “Fruit flies are especially attracted to ripened fruits and vegetables in the kitchen. But they also will breed in drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles and cans, trash containers, mops and cleaning rags. All that is needed for development is a moist film of fermenting material. Infestations can originate from over-ripened fruits or vegetables that were previously infested and brought into the home. The adults can also fly in from outside through inadequately screened windows and doors. Fruit flies are primarily nuisance pests. However, they also have the potential to contaminate food with bacteria and other disease-producing organisms. The reproductive potential of fruit flies is enormous; given the opportunity, they will lay

about 500 eggs. The entire life cycle from egg to adult can be completed in about a week.”

In sharing these facts along with the trivial pursuit knowledge fruit flies reside in the space station (supposedly employed by NASA for research), a bartender friend said, “They love the brown liquors, especially tequila. I was mixing up a margarita for a girl who comes in a lot and I had been trying to work up the nerve to ask her out.” Rolling his eyes, he continued, “I used all the good stuff, Cointreau, fresh squeezed lime and orange juice, colored rock salt.

I shook the thing of beauty and when it was cold and frothy, poured it into the glass right in front of her and boom, weren’t there four or five fruit flies in the mix? Talk about opportunity lost.”

Another bartender shared, “They used to thrive inside the beer taps and would flow out with the beer like they were on a ride at Water Country. Then we got these little tiny brush things with plastic on the end that fit inside the tap and it creates a seal. If I recall they really liked the Guinness.”

He went on, “Oh yeah, and last week a dish washer discovered see LADD page 5

This new normal has gotten out of control — and we all know it family’s 10-acre farm. That’s like settling with your credit card company for the debt you owe and then barring them from reporting it to the credit agencies. (I want that deal.) This is precisely the odd mix of headlines that may explain why Chris Carter is hesitant to film a third installment of The X-Files.

By the time it hits the theaters, Glenn Greenwald will have spoiled the ending.

We all can be reasonably confident that we’ll never have to arm ourselves with a chainsaw to cut our way through a flying shark. What we don’t know is whether we’ll have to give up our First Amendment rights just so we can get justice when some corporation does us harm. We can’t tell our daughters that if they are raped, they won’t be

asked, “What were you wearing?” Or, worse — to go to class with their rapist. This new normal has gotten out of control — and we all know it.

It’s precisely why Wendy Davis’ filibuster caught such fire this summer. It’s why thousands protested for weeks in North Carolina as part of the Moral Mondays campaign. And it’s why Chelsea (Bradley) Manning and Edward Snowden have gotten such attention for their disclosures.

Let’s just hope the arc of history indeed bends towards justice, and that this movie ends with a happy ending.

newest bar-back has a concoction that attracts them and they all look dreadful. My personal favorite is making a paper funnel and putting it in a highball glass with about half an inch of cider vinegar. Other people use dish soap, a slice of banana or will cover the glass with plastic wrap and poke tiny holes with toothpicks.

Despite these tricks of the trade, common sense tells us keeping things tightly covered and sealed, elbow grease with the appropriate products and a strict adherence to cleaning side work (which often falls by the wayside as summer business peaks) are key. As my margarita mixing friend said, “It’s almost comical. There was a bald guy at the bar last night and the fruit flies kept landing on his head in droves.

If I could figure out how to get rid of these things in a way that didn’t poison me or the environment, I could quit this job.”

The Down Low: Thanks to those of you who sent letters and packages to my Marine in Afghanistan.

After not following my own shipping advice, the chock-full-of-goodies package I sent was confiscated for including a “vanilla” men’s magazine deemed “semi-pornographic” by the USMC postal powersthat-be. Granted, the publication may be a bit sexist, but it has way more words than pictures so I was

able to twist my boundaries and justify sending it.

What I cannot justify is the absurdity of this rule.

I could pontificate endlessly on freedom of speech, censorship and the fact that the kid deserves a bit of tasteful diversion. I understand the rules about no pork or pork by-products and appreciate how the magazine may be perceived as contrary to Islam (and sheepishly admit may be disrespectful to female military personnel), but it was privately addressed and it irks me. What also irks me is a message I received from my Marine’s aunt who was outraged it cost her $40 to ship her package. Politically speaking, she is so hawkish and to the right that I was surprised to hear her bashing the hallowed halls of the Department of Defense.

While the postal service does indeed have flat rate boxes available, we both agreed a special rate should apply to military care packages of all sizes. For more information on the shipping rules visit www.bootsontheground.com.

In his press conference Lavrov spoke of how the ruling parties in the U.S., UK and France stir up emotions among poorly informed people that, once aroused, have to be satisfied by war. This, of course, is the way the U.S. manipulated the public in order to attack Afghanistan and Iraq. But the American public is tired of the wars, the goal of which is never made clear, and has grown suspicious of the government’s justifications for more wars.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that “Americans strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Syria’s civil war and believe Washington should stay out of the conflict even if reports that Syria’s government used deadly chemicals to attack civilians are confirmed.” However, Obama could not care less that only 9 percent

While nasty is an understatement, fruit flies, like most of God’s creatures, do serve a purpose. The University of North Carolina has an entire web page written in layman’s terms titled “The Wonderful Fruit Fly.” In reference to their use, it says, “Model organisms are species that are studied to understand the biology of other organisms, often humans.

Fruit flies share 75 percent of the genes that cause disease with humans, so scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics. It is not only the flies themselves that the scientists are interested in, but also understanding the basic biology that all organisms have in common. There are hundreds of labs across the country who are entirely dedicated to studying fruit flies.” Ironically, there are hundreds of restaurants across the state of Maine which are entirely dedicated to their destruction.

Due to the fly’s rapid procreation and the ability to survive off almost anything gross, fruit fly eradication can be a costly and frustrating endeavor. Everyone from professional pest control companies to the

Syria: Another western war crime in the making

of the public supports his warmongering. As former president Jimmy Carter recently stated, “America has no functioning democracy.” It has a police state in which the executive branch has placed itself above all law and the Constitution.

This police state is now going to commit yet another Nazi-style war crime of unprovoked aggression. At Nuremberg the Nazis were sentenced to death for precisely the identical actions being committed by Obama, Cameron and Hollande. The West is banking on might, not right, to keep it out of the criminal dock.

The U.S., UK and French governments have not explained why it matters whether people in the wars initiated by the West are killed by explosives made of depleted uranium or with chemical agents or any other weapon. It was obvious from the beginning that Obama was setting up the Syrian government for attack. Obama demonized chemical weapons–but not nuclear “bunker busters” that the US might use on Iran. Then Obama drew a red line, saying that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrians was such a great crime that the West would be obliged to attack Syria. Washington’s UK puppets, William Hague and Cameron, have just repeated this nonsensical claim. The final step in the frameup was to orchestrate a chemical incident and blame the Syrian government.

What is the West’s real agenda? This is the unasked and unanswered question. Clearly, the U.S., UK and French governments, which have displayed continuously their support for dictatorial regimes that serve their purposes, are not the least disturbed by dictatorships. They brand Assad a dictator as a means

of demonizing him for the ill-informed Western masses. But Washington, UK, and France support any number of dictatorial regimes, such as the ones in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and now the military dictatorship in Egypt that is ruthlessly killing Egyptians without any Western government speaking of invading Egypt for “killing its own people.”

Clearly also, the forthcoming Western attack on Syria has nothing whatsoever to do with bringing “freedom and democracy” to Syria any more than freedom and democracy were reasons for the attacks on Iraq and Libya, neither of which gained any “freedom and democracy.”

The Western attack on Syria is unrelated to human rights, justice or any of the high sounding causes with which the West cloaks its criminality.

The Western media, and least of all the American presstitutes, never ask Obama, Cameron or Hollande what the real agenda is. It is difficult to believe than any reporter is sufficiently stupid or gullible to believe that the agenda is bringing “freedom and democracy” to Syria or punishing Assad for allegedly using chemical weapons against murderous thugs trying to overthrow the Syrian government.

Of course, the question wouldn’t be answered if asked. But the act of asking it would help make the public aware that more is afoot than meets the eye.

Originally, the excuse for Washington’s wars was to keep Americans safe from terrorists. Now Washington is endeavoring to turn Syria over to jihad terrorists by helping them to overthrow the secular, non-terrorist Assad government. What is the agenda behind Washington’s support of terrorism?

Perhaps the purpose of the wars is to radicalize Muslims and, thereby, destabilize Russia and even China. Russia has large populations of Muslims and is bordered by Muslim countries. Even China has some Muslim population. As radicalization spreads strife into the only two countries capable of being an obstacle to Washington’s world hegemony, Western media propaganda and the large number of U.S.financed NGOs, posing as “human rights” organizations, can be counted on by Washington to demonize the Russian and Chinese governments for harsh measures against “rebels.”

Another advantage of the radicalization of Muslims is that it leaves former Muslim countries in long-term turmoil or civil wars, as is currently the case in Iraq and Libya, thus removing any organized state power from obstructing Israeli purposes.

Secretary of State John Kerry is working the phones using bribes and threats to build acceptance, if not support, for Washington’s war crime-in-themaking against Syria.

Washington is driving the world closer to nuclear war than it ever was even in the most dangerous periods of the Cold War. When Washington finishes with Syria, the next target is Iran. Russia and China will no longer be able to fool themselves that there is any system of international law or restraint on Western criminality. Western aggression is already forcing both countries to develop their strategic nuclear forces and to curtail the Western-financed NGOs that pose as “human rights organizations,” but in reality comprise a fifth column that Washington can use to destroy the legitimacy of the Russian and Chinese governments.

Russia and China have been extremely careless in their dealings with the United States. Essen-

Originally, the excuse for Washington’s wars was to keep Americans safe from terrorists. Now Washington is endeavoring to turn Syria over to jihad terrorists by helping them to overthrow the secular, non-terrorist Assad government. What is the agenda behind Washington’s support of terrorism? tially, the Russian political opposition is financed by Washington. Even the Chinese government is being undermined. When a U.S. corporation opens a company in China, it creates a Chinese board on which are put relatives of the local political authorities.

These boards create a conduit for payments that influence the decisions and loyalties of local and regional party members. The U.S. has penetrated Chinese universities and intellectual attitudes. The Rockefeller University is active in China as is Rockefeller philanthropy. Dissenting voices are being created that are arrayed against the Chinese government. Demands for “liberalization” can resurrect regional and ethnic differences and undermine the cohesiveness of the national government.

Once Russia and China realize that they are riven with American fifth columns, isolated diplomatically, and outgunned militarily, nuclear weapons become the only guarantor of their sovereignty. This suggests that nuclear war is likely to terminate humanity well before humanity succumbs to global warming or rising national debts.

The war criminals in Washington and other Western capitals are determined to maintain their lie that the Syrian government used chemical weapons.

Having failed in efforts to intimidate the UN chemical inspectors in Syria, Washington has demanded that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon withdraw the chemical weapons inspectors before they can assess the evidence and make their report. The UN Secretary General stood up to the Washington war criminals and rejected their demand.

The U.S. and UK governments have revealed none of the “conclusive evidence” they claim to have that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. Listening to their voices, observing their body language, and looking into their eyes, it is completely obvious that John Kerry and his British and German puppets are lying through their teeth. This is a far more shameful situation than the massive lies that former Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell claims that he was deceived by the White House and did not know that he was lying. Kerry and the British, French, and German puppets know full well that they are lying.

The face that the West presents to the world is the brazen face of a liar.

Entergy announces closing of Vermont nuclear plant

By Matthew L. Wald THE NEW YORK TIMES

The Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor, one of the oldest nuclear plants in the country and the subject of heated battles over the decades, will close late next year, the company that owns it announced on Tuesday, less than two weeks after winning a protracted legal fight against the State of Vermont to keep it open.

The company, Entergy, said a long depression in natural gas prices had pushed the wholesale price of electricity so low that it was losing money on the reactor, which is on the Connecticut River in Vernon just north of the Massachusetts border.

So far this year, owners have announced the retirements of five reactors, with the low price of gas being cited as a factor in all of the cases. Three of the five have substantial mechanical problems.

But Vermont Yankee and one in Wisconsin, Kewaunee, represent a more ominous trend because they have no major physical needs beyond the typical requirements for continuing capital investments. Vermont Yankee did face some expenses for improvements prompted by the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns in Japan in March 2011, but these do not appear to have been decisive.

The latest closing would leave the United States with 99 operating reactors, presuming no others are shut before the fourth quarter of next year, when Vermont Yankee is to close. Four reactors in Georgia and South Carolina are under construction, and the Tennessee Valley Authority is finishing a fifth in Tennessee. But the industry is in a period of rapid decline.

In a statement issued before markets opened on Tuesday, Leo Denault, Entergy’s chairman and chief executive, said, “This was an agonizing decision and an extremely tough call for us.”

The Vermont plant has 630 permanent workers and employs a large number of contractors. Entergy, facing wholesale market pressures around the country, said at the end of last month that it would lay off 4 percent to 7 percent of the workers at its nuclear plants.

Entergy, based in Louisiana, had fought hard against a seven-year effort by the state to force the reactor to close in 2012 at the end of its initial 40-year operating license. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled this month, upholding a lower court decision that found states were “pre-empted” from regulating safety. Oral arguments in that case were made early this year, when Entergy apparently still hoped for an economic turnaround.

The Vermont Legislature had tried to shut the plant by denying Entergy a state certificate required for all power plants.

Entergy may have been motivated mostly by the

desire to set a precedent favorable to a much larger nuclear complex, Indian Point, in Westchester County in New York, which the state is seeking to force to close.

Indian Point and Vermont Yankee — along with another reactor in New York, James A. FitzPatrick, and reactors in Massachusetts and Michigan — were bought by Entergy as the utility industry restructured and the local companies that built them divested themselves to concentrate on transmission and retail delivery.

Entergy and other major nuclear operators sought to capitalize on their expertise in running nuclear plants, to improve operations in “merchant” plants that earned whatever the wholesale market was paying. The company did improve the reliability of the reactors but has suffered as the wholesale market has tanked.

“Costs significantly exceed revenue for this unit,” Bill Mohl, the president of the Entergy division that manages wholesale power sales, said in an interview. “It’s pretty much that simple.”

Entergy also owns the Pilgrim reactor in Plymouth, Mass., which is of similar vintage and design to Vermont Yankee. But it is about 10 percent larger, Mr. Mohl said, and thus its economics are somewhat better.

With the price of energy relatively low, Mr. Mohl said, what Vermont Yankee needed to be profitable was higher payments from customers for its capacity. In New England, electricity is priced two ways: in kilowatt-hours, the unit familiar to homeowners, who typically buy hundreds of kilowatt-hours a month; and in megawatts, or the ability to produce.

That market, too, is depressed.

If Vermont Yankee is replaced with a modern generator powered by natural gas, that would produce about two million tons of carbon dioxide a year, he said.

Tearing down the old reactor, which Entergy does not plan to do immediately, will require many years and hundreds of millions of dollars. Using an option approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it intends to seal the plant and leave it for years, while some of the radioactivity dies down and a trust fund established for its decommissioning — now with about $582 million on hand — grows.

James F.X. Steets, a spokesman for Entergy, said that the fund exceeded the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s minimum requirement, but that the cost of the decommissioning had not yet been established.

Vermont has a pact with Texas that will allow the low-level radioactive waste from Vermont Yankee, mostly contaminated steel and concrete, to be buried in a repository in Texas on the New Mexico border.

Vermont Yankee is by far the largest generator in the state, but a variety of other power sources are available, including imports from Quebec.

Gay and lesbian mass wedding held in New Mexico

By Jennifer Preston THE NEW YORK TIMES

More than 100 people lined up outside the county clerk’s office in Albuquerque to get marriage licenses Tuesday morning, the day after a state district judge ruled that same-sex marriage was legal.

The crowd cheered as the first couple — Patricia Catlett, 61, a graphic designer, and her partner of 25 years, Karen Schmiege, 69, a retired librarian — received their license in Bernalillo County, according to The Associated Press. By noon, KRQE News 13 reported, a mass wedding was held in Albuquerque’s Civic Plaza.

Clerks in two other counties in New Mexico have also agreed to begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples.

As The Santa Fe New Mexican reported, the clerk

in Doña Ana County decided last Wednesday to begin issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. Two days later, a judge in Santa Fe ordered that county’s clerk to issue them as well, in response to a narrow request that the state recognize a dying woman’s marriage to her longtime partner on a death certificate. Then, on Monday, Judge Alan Malott of State District Court ordered the clerk in Bernalillo County, which includes Albuquerque, to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, ruling that the state’s constitution prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

But Judge Malott’s ruling does not apply to all New Mexico counties, according to state officials.

And Republican lawmakers said they would propose legislation to block county clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Renowned film director John Ford to be feted at Maine Irish Heritage Center event

By Timothy Gillis

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

This Saturday, Aug. 31, is John Ford Day, so proclaimed by Portland Mayor Michael F. Brennan. The day marks the 40th anniversary of the death of the legendary filmmaker, born in Cape Elizabeth, raised in Portland, and better known around here as “Bull” Feeney.

Ford “directed more than 130 motion pictures... and was the recipient of six Academy Awards, among them four as Best Director for feature films, a record that has never been equaled,” Brennan said in the proclamation.

The Maine Irish Heritage Center is celebrating the occasion on Friday, Aug. 30, with talks by Dr. Michael Connolly and Dr. Kevin Stoehr, who have written extensively about Ford and his Hollywood career.

Connolly, a St. Joseph’s College professor, wrote “Seated by the Sea: The Maritime History of Portland, Maine, and Its Irish Ford Longshoremen.”

He became interested in Jack Feeney and his rise from modest beginnings to international renown. He traced Ford’s Irish roots to Galway, visiting relatives there and walking the paths of Ford’s ancestors.

Stoehr, an associate professor of humanities at Boston University, wrote “Ride, Boldly Ride: The Evolution of the American Western” with Mary Lea Bandy, devoting several chapters to the cantankerous director and his immense influence on the genre.

The two authors edited “John Ford in Focus” and on Friday night, they will discuss Ford’s films, showing clips from Peter Bogdanovich’s newly revised documentary “Directed by John Ford.”

Hill in Portland. He played football at Portland High School, and was a member of a state championship team. While playing football, he earned the nickname “Bull” Feeney for his relatively unsighted forays in the line. In 1914, he followed his brother, Francis, to Hollywood to pursue a career in motion pictures, adopting the name John Ford.

Starting as an errand boy for his brother, Ford’s career began in the silent film era and grew to near mythic proportions as the most sought-after director in Hollywood, working with the industry’s biggest stars.

Winner of the American Film Institute’s first Lifetime Achievement Award, Ford is widely regarded as one of the most influential movie directors of all time. Mainers have come to appreciate his visual poetry on the silver screen in the same way that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s written poetry has been valued as a national treasure. The reputations of both artists have risen and fallen with public perceptions of cowboy films and romantic poetry, respectively. However, several of Ford’s best works are not westerns, but romances and Celtic sagas, often adapted from novels. “The Grapes of Wrath” approaches the power of John Steinbeck’s novel (although it softens the conclusion), and stars a young Henry Fonda. “How Green Was My Valley” won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture over “Citizen Kane” and “The Maltese Falcon.”

And Ford’s impact on cinema was not only felt in fiction. He received the “Purple Heart for injuries sustained during the Battle of Midway, which he personally photographed with a hand-held 16 mm camera, even after receiving shrapnel fragments in the arm and groin,” according to a Bogdanovich essay in “Ford in Focus.” Two of his Academy Awards are for producing films for the U.S. military.

Such world-renowned filmmakers as Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg have paid tribute to Ford’s enormous influence on their own cinematic work.

John Wayne was said to have modeled his famous amble and mannerisms after Ford, saying after an accolade from the filmmaker, “I was just being you.”

Now it seems that Portland has come to fully embrace one of their own.

The Maine Irish Heritage Center program will include a talk by former Portland Mayor Jack Dawson and family stories from the director’s relative, Jane McPhillips.

The commemoration will be held upstairs at the Irish Center, at the corner of State and Gray streets in Portland in the former St. Dominic’s Church, where the young John Ford was baptized and served as an altar boy.

Admission is $5 (free for Irish Heritage Center members). For more information, call 780-0118, visit www.maineirish.com, or email irishhc@maine. rr.com.

Rioja. It’s Great with BBQ! Next on our map is the Rioja region! Located in northern Spain near the French border, Rioja still reigns as the principal redwine producing area in the country. Although there are many interesting and diverse Spanish wine producing regions, Rioja offers consumers an incredible range of quality wines at affordable price points!

Rioja wines are produced from tempranillo and garnacha grapes, and come in white, rose, and red varietals. The “red Rioja” is the most well known style of Rioja, however. Rioja wines are produced in a style that has been influenced by winemakers in Bordeaux, France. These medium bodied wines are not only low in alcohol content; they are also low in tannins. The large, bold fruit expression in these wines exists in conjunction with balanced acidity, which makes it an exceptionally versatile food wine. There are three different styles of Rioja that allow for a variety of summertime meal choices; Rioja reds are truly the ultimate food friendly wine!

Black Cat Coffee

By Natalie Ladd THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

463 Stevens Ave. Portland 956-6686 Open seven days a week Black Cat Coffee owner Keith Dunlap had no intention of opening and running a coffee shop.

Instead, the former attorney, along with wife and co-owner, novelist Jenny Siler, saw an unfilled need.

“We live locally in the community and realized we needed something like this around here,” Dunlap said.

“We didn’t set out to do it, but the space opened up and we started talking about it. We both have restaurant experience and the timing was perfect. Everything just sort of lined up.”

Open three weeks, Black Cat Coffee is “Featuring the best of Portland” offering a variety of pastries and baked goods from Holy Donut, Standard Baking, Union Bagel, Bam Bam Bakery (glutenfree) and Sweet Tooth Cupcakes.

As far as the coffee itself, Dunlap said, “We looked at all the roasters and shopped around. We chose Matt’s Wood Roasted Coffee out of Pownal. He selects all certified organic coffee from all over the world and it’s a great product.”

“We also had a lot of good help and advice getting started. Mary Allan and Alan from Coffee by

Design were great and so was Todd LaLumiere, who owns a bunch of Dunkin’ Donuts franchises,” Dunlap said. “They were really supportive and had lots of pointers. Plus, we’re getting suggestions from customers, people in the neighborhood, and are taking everything into consideration as we move forward.”

The shop offers free Wi-Fi, a baby changing table and over-sized couches. There are shelves with books and games, and Dunlap envisions the renovated shop as a gathering place for students and families in the Deering Center area. “We’ll be taking part in First Friday (the walls are currently covered with art created by four student age groups) and are planning our grand opening for Sept. 6. Oh, and we have a loyalty punch card, too.”

And the name?

“We were originally improvising with names and started with Coffee Cat, but it was too cute. You know, too clever. We wanted a new straightforward name that could have an image that goes with it for a logo. And actually, our 10-year-old daughter came up with it. But she’s also our stylist and picked the color scheme and takes a turn with us picking the music.”

Visit Black Cat Coffee on Facebook for menu details including a wide tea selection and unique specialty coffee creations, as well as details about the grand opening.

The best part of enjoying these scarlet colored, delectable wines…they are so easy to understand! All you need to know when purchasing Rioja wine is the style, or level, and the reputation of the winemaker. The three levels are as follows: Crianza ($),

which are released after two years of aging, with a minimum of one year in oak barrels; Reserva ($$), which are released after 3 years of aging with a minimum of one year in oak barrels; and Gran Reserva ($$$), which are released after five to seven years of aging with a minimum of two years in oak barrels. The designation of Crianza, Reserva etc. may not always appear on the front label of the wine; it may appear on the neck or back label in the form of a stamp designation known as Consejo. It is worth noting that there are also some wines that are simply labeled Rioja; these are the youngest and least aged Rioja wines, spending less than a year in oak barrels. The inherent smoky flavors that exist in some of the Reservas will enhance just about anything that you want to grill; the strawberry and woody notes are fabulous with pork and pretty much any roasted or grilled entrée!

As our journey through Spain comes to an end for this week, we hope that you’ll venture out to our local establishments and savor the diverse and unique wines from these Spanish regions! Until next time, happy swirling!

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you’ve learned seems irrelevant to the events of the day. It’s like you’re being forced to learn a new way to solve a problem. Note: It might be faster to invent your own way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t allow those who are close to you to get away with being less than they could be. Self-pity is a dangerous dynamic. Helplessness is a poor substitute for self-love. Hold your dear ones to a higher standard.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People without integrity are dangerous. When someone shows a lack of integrity in a small way, consider it a preview of coming attractions and react accordingly.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 28). You’ll entertain many this year. In September, you’ll make a sale, as well as forward a personal interest. October brings you face to face with someone you’ve long wanted to know. You’ll handle a rush of business in December and go into the new year richer. March interests lead you to a fun group of friends. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 42, 6, 13 and 28.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unlike the country song that suggests it’s possible to say it best by saying nothing at all, today’s situation requires that something eloquent and truthful be said. Silence won’t cut it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people who are closest to you know how to set off your emotional triggers and will do so in both good and bad ways. Knowing how to create a sense of calm inside yourself is a skill worth developing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something didn’t go the way you wanted it to go, but it’s only as big of a deal as you make it. Letting yourself feel tormented by events is always an option, though you usually prefer to make a new plan and try again.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You and a loved one are not on the same page at the start of the day, but you sync up after several hours of doing a task together. The task could be absolutely anything, including driving, cleaning or just watching television.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can provide assistance, but you’re not sure you should.

You realize that people don’t appreciate what is handed to them unless they believe they deserve it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Material gains will come of emotional and spiritual work. Your faith will be key, so keep believing it will all work out, and stop worrying about how. You can’t predict that part.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is real personality to everything you do, and that’s why you can’t really do things anonymously.

Your work will be recognized and lauded whether or not you claim it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be wise to avoid controversy, especially the kind that is likely to occur just because people don’t have anything better to entertain themselves with. While you’re at it, avoid bored people, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The person who is good and has never been bad is sweet and will require protection today. The person who has been bad and now chooses to be good will be the best one for the job.

The PORTLAND Daily Sun, Wednesday, August 28, 2013— Page 11

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Aug. 28, the 240th day of 2013. There are 125 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 28, 1963, more than 200,000 people listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. On this date: In 1609, English sea explorer Henry Hudson and his ship, the Half Moon, reached present-day Delaware Bay. In 1862, the Second Battle of Bull Run (also known as Second Manassas) began in Prince William County, Va., during the Civil War; the result was a Confederate victory.

In 1922, the first-ever radio commercial aired on station WEAF in New York City; the 10-minute advertisement was for the Queensboro Realty Co., which had paid a fee of $100.

In 1945, the Allies began occupying Japan at the end of World War II. In 1947, legendary bullfighter Manolete (manoh-LEH’-tay) died after being gored during a fight in Linares, Spain; he was 30.

In 1955, Emmett Till, a black teenager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle’s home in Money, Miss., by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later.

In 1968, police and anti-war demonstrators clashed in the streets of Chicago as the Democratic National Convention nominated Hubert H. Humphrey for president.

In 1972, Mark Spitz of the United States won the first two of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter butterfly and anchoring the 400-meter freestyle relay. The Soviet women gymnasts won the team all-around.

In 1973, an earthquake shook Veracruz, Mexico; death toll estimates range from 600 to 1,200.

In 1983, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin (men-AH’-kem BAY’-gihn) announced his resignation.

In 1988, 70 people were killed when three Italian stunt planes collided during an air show at the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein (RAHM’-shtyn), West Germany.

In 1990, an F5 tornado struck the Chicago area, killing 29 people.

Ten years ago: British Prime Minister Tony Blair denied the government had “sexed up” a dossier on Iraq’s weapons threat and said he would have resigned if it had been true. A Defense Department survey found that nearly 1 in 5 female Air Force Academy cadets said they had been sexually assaulted during their time at the academy.

Five years ago: Surrounded by an enormous, adoring crowd at Invesco Field in Denver, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, promising what he called a clean break from the “broken politics in Washington and the failed policies of George W. Bush.”

One year ago: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presidential nomination at a storm-delayed national convention in Tampa, Fla. Hurricane Isaac spun into the southern Louisiana coast, sending floodwaters surging and unleashing fierce winds, as residents hunkered down behind boarded-up windows.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Earlier this year, I was caught up in a liability issue with my high school track coach. I had a knee injury and was being treated by a sports chiropractor, with the full approval of the superintendent of the school district. My coach, however, rejected the note from the chiropractor and caused me horrible stress and anxiety with the unnecessary demand that I see an internist. The principal said I had to do it.

The internist said that the school and the coach were being ridiculous. Several months later, I am still thinking about everything that happened, and I sometimes become so obsessed with it that I suffer horrible anxiety. Every time a friend asks what happened, I become emotionally and mentally unstable and relive it.

This former track coach treated my parents and me with hostility, and I am worried about returning to school. How can I move on? My mind is taking a beating. -- Still Reliving the Misery Dear Still: Any trauma can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which causes the sufferer to relive the event over and over. You need to find a way to break the loop in your thinking. If you can do this by imagining a different, more empowering outcome, great. It’s also possible that once school starts, your coach will simply ignore the incident, and you can do the same. Or you could approach him in a mature fashion and ask to put this behind you. If he mistreats you, report it to the principal. If you are still traumatized, please consider short-term counseling. High school doesn’t last forever.

Dear Annie: Last week, I walked into our computer room to see my husband trying desperately to hit the delete button and get rid of an email he did not want me to see. I managed to glance at the woman’s name, however, and asked him who it was. Well, she is the one I suspected he hooked up with at

his 50th class reunion. There were about five hours during the weekend that he could not account for.

His 95-year-old mother knows this woman and says, “She’s such a nice girl and married. She would never do such a thing.” And she says the same about my husband. I don’t believe this. My husband suddenly can’t keep his hands off of the waitresses at our favorite restaurant, and he ogles every woman who walks by.

I won’t be going to my 50th class reunion. I can’t leave him alone for a second, and I certainly don’t want him running off with one of my classmates. I don’t want to go out of my house anymore. What should I do? -- Humiliated Wife Dear Wife: Your husband is in his late 70s. In some instances, as a person ages, early signs of dementia start to show up, and one of them is the loss of inhibition. Unless your husband has exhibited such behavior during your entire marriage, we believe his problem is age related. This doesn’t make it less irritating or worrisome, of course, but it’s possible he could be helped by seeing his doctor. Insist that he make an appointment, and go with him. If the doctor is not experienced in this area, ask to be referred to someone who is.

Dear Annie: My sympathy for “Shady Family Business,” who wants to change his name because some of his family was engaged in not quite legal doings.

It is very likely that the majority of us have forebears who have engaged in activities that would humiliate and horrify us. Even those who discover that they are related to the rich and famous could easily uncover shameful doings in those illustrious backgrounds.

Let the dead past lie. If your family has done things of which you are not proud, your lifetime can show that the bloodline is also capable of good. -- Life Is a Mixed Bag

New Facebook page argues for Congress Square parcel sale

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Opponents of a city proposal to sell a portion of Congress Square to the developers of the former Eastland Park Hotel have operated effectively on Facebook, but now a group of supporters of the plan have launched their own page, with backing from the developers.

Revitalize Congress Square (https://www.facebook.com/YesonCongressSquare) launched late last week to build up support for the hotel proposal leading up to a Monday, Sept. 9 Portland City Council meeting.

With over 200 “likes” in a couple of days, the page is an advocacy effort of Jill Barkley, along with David Farmer and Jess Byrne Barkley Knox, colleagues who, according to Barkley, also own homes in Portland.

Barkley may seem like an unexpected crusader for the city’s proposal. She served as the ACLU of Maine’s Marriage Project Coordinator in the fight for same-sex marriage; she ran as a Democrat against Ben Chipman for the Maine Legislature (Chipman won); and she served as chair of the Portland Democratic City Committee.

“For me it’s nonpartisan, I don’t think this is political, I think it’s an argument for what’s best for our city and what’s best for the park,” said Barkley, while acknowledging that her stance is at odds with the position of many of the city’s other activists.

Along with Farmer and Knox, Barkley also does consulting in politics, but in this instance, they teamed up with RockBridge Capital to promote the pro-sales stance to the city council.

The debate over Congress Square Park has aroused powerful emotions, sparking creation of a group, Friends of Congress Square, and even prompting a petition drive to prevent the sale.

Yet, city leaders have moved steadily closer to closing the deal.

On Aug. 21, the city’s Housing and Community Development Committee voted 3-1 to recommend the full council pass a purchase and sales agreement between the city and RockBridge Capital to sell a portion of the park to the hotel developers for $523,000.

The city has proposed to sell 9,500 square feet, the

majority of Congress Square Park, to RockBridge Capital and retain 4,800 square feet of the park as a part of the effort to redesign the space. RockBridge — the owners of the soon-to-open Westin Portland and Harborview Hotel, formerly the Eastland Park Hotel prior to its closure and $50 million renovation — will use the park to build a 9,400-square-foot events center off the hotel. The 4,800 square feet remaining of the plaza will be the subject of a redesign and visioning process by the city.

The purchase and sales agreement is tentatively set to appear on the city council’s Monday, Sept. 9 agenda.

Barkley said RockBridge is paying a nominal amount for Facebook ads to promote the new page promoting the sale.

“In full disclosure we wanted to do this and we approached RockBridge in supporting the advertising of the page,” she said. Asked how much the developers contributed, she said, “It’s a really low number,” but didn’t have the figure readily avail-

able. Facebook advertising is targeted to people in Portland, via the popular online site.

“I’ve been involved in this project for 15 months as a homeowner and a citizen, and I just think it’s imperative as we get closer to Sept. 9 the council is aware of all the citizens of Portland who support the project,” Barkley said.

The page is encouraging people to reach out to their councilors, she said.

“Revitalize Congress Square represents Portland residents who want to bring new life and vitality to Congress Square Plaza through new investment, a redesign of the public space and the creation of an events center,” the page reads.

Prior to launching the page, Barkley said she stayed busy advocating for the events center plan.

“I’ve called people, I’ve emailed people ... I’ve been incredibly active as a citizen, I’ve gone to all the meetings,” Barkley said.

“I care about this neighborhood,” she said.

Barkley, who lives on High Street within walking distance of the hotel, said, “I actually think that there are other citizens and homeowners and renters in Portland that support the project, so the goal of the Faceobok page really is to get those people excited and more involved and to encourage them to reach out to their councilors and come to the meeting. The other side has done a great job of organizing people to come to the meeting.”

Opponents of the sale are mustering their forces.

The Green Independent Party opposes the sale on the principle that public space should not be given up for private use.

Tom McMillan, chair of the Portland Green Independent Committee, said the new Facebook page doesn’t aid the debate. “It’s a deliberate way to confuse the issue, I think it’s deliberately confusing,” he said. “To say ‘revitallize,’ if you take two thirds of a property, I don’t know how you can revitalize the space.”

McMillan also questioned how the debate couldn’t be political.

“It’s not a partisan issue so much, but it’s certainly political because it’s about who gets what,” he said.

“If someone is benefiting, in my opinion it’s political.”

Calling the proposal a “sweetheart deal” for the developers, McMillan said the Green Party has made its position known.

“We voted unanimously in the springtime to oppose the sale of Congress Square Park and all other city parks going forward on the principle that livable cities are built on public spaces, not on less spaces, and what is good for the public is good for the city.”

McMillan added, “We’ve been very active turning people out to city council hearings and working with different.”

“To me, it’s galling on a number of levels, on the aspect of selling the park in general but the city taxpayer is getting taken along,” he said.

OccupyMaine, a local outgrowth of the Occupy movement, announced a “Rally for Saving Congress Square! The People’s Public Park! Stop the Unjust City Selloff to private Corporate! September 6, Portland First Friday! All Welcome, 1st Amendment Exercise! Save our Square!” OccupyMaine reportedly also plans a “march of solidarity” to City Hall on Monday, Sept. 9 to pressure the city council to vote against the proposed sale.

Barkley recognized that opponents are bringing their arguments to the new Facebook page.

“This is a very passionate debate and there are people who are very concerned that we will lose more public space if this sale is approved,” she said. “I actually have seen the city increasing public space. ... I don’t share that concern.”

The hotel is scheduled to reopen on Dec. 11, under the new name, Westin Portland and Harborview Hotel. Barkley said the expansion makes sense.

“The events center, that will be a portion of the park and that will be purchased and built on, but there will still be public space, there will be benches and people, I think that’s win and win,” she said.
