feel like, somebody’s watching me, and I have no privacy.” The hit single, featuring Michael Jackson no less, was appropriately released in 1984 and related the singer’s paranoid fear of being followed and watched. A dance remix of the record hit Number 3 in the United Kingdom, which remains the most heavily surveilled country on the planet with around 4.2 million closed-circuit (CCTV) cameras in use, or one for every 14 people according to BBC News. But the U.S. is no slacker itself, boasting 30 million cameras which shoot 4 billion hours of footage every week, according to Popular Mechanics. Here in Portland, the issue of CCTVs surfaced recently after the city council mandated that the owner of Ricky’s Tavern on Portland Street install cameras, with the bar’s entertainment license hanging in the balance. Tavern owner Ed Simmons said at a neighborhood meeting that he would put them in if residents thought they might help, but said his customers are not the problem for the Midtown neighborhood, which sees many drug and prostitution-related crimes. Police agreed with Simmons’ assessment and did not object to a liquor license renewal for Ricky’s Tavern or ask for the cameras, according to Assistant Police Chief Michael Sauschuck. Currently the city operates surveillance cameras in some offi ces where cash is exchanged, such as the city clerk’s offi ce, but the city’s only outdoor surveillance cameras are focused on the waterfront and largely subsidized by the Department of Homeland Security, according “Video surveillance to city spokesperson Nicole Clegg. carries real dangers of Many private busimisuse.

Maine Civil Liberties Union. “It’s the thing of the future,” according to a business owner. Like it or not, CCTV is here to stay, and the average American doesn’t seem to mind. A 2007 ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 71 percent of Americans favor increased video surveillance. While there are no ofﬁcial numbers on the number of surveillance cameras in use throughout Portland, they are not difﬁ cult to spot. A traipse down Free Street yielded no less than seven sightings with cameras installed outside bars, clubs and the Cumberland County Civic Center.

State law prevents the use of trafﬁ c cameras to catch drivers who run red lights or commit other infractions, but there is no law barring surveillance cameras in general, according to Lt. Gary Rogers, Portland Police Department spokesman. “When a crime is committed it’s one of the ﬁ rst things we start looking for,” said Rogers. “A lot your convenience stores have [them], pharmacies, Hannaford’s, banks — they’re pretty much everywhere nowadays,” he said.

France puts tobacco back in some ads

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– DIGEST––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

PARIS — (NY Times) France may count more than its share of iconic chain-smokers — from Jean-Paul Sartre to Alain Delon — but for two decades the country has been systematically removing cigarettes from their fingertips or lips in any advertisements that use their likenesses. This week, though, French lawmakers adopted a bill that would give back the tobacco products those celebrities held so dear, and by which they came to be known. The Cultural Affairs and Education Committee of the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, voted Wednesday to exempt “artistic or cultural works” from a 1991 law that prohibits tobacco advertisements, but that also prevents the presence of tobacco in advertisements for goods of any kind. The full National Assembly is expected to approve the bill this month. “In the name of a preoccupation with health, paved with good intentions, we’re ending up changing works of art and, more concerning, history,” a Socialist member of Parliament, Didier Mathus, told the committee, according to an official transcript. “It was ridiculous,” said Cécile Husson, a gravelly-voiced, 37-year-old schoolteacher as she puffed on a cigarette on the Place Gambetta in the 20th Arrondissement. “It didn’t have any impact on whether people smoked or not.”

ISTANBUL (NY Times) — Talks between Iran and six world powers made little progress on Friday, with a late-night plenary session becoming tense and even acrimonious before an agreement to meet again on Saturday, senior Western diplomats said. Iran has refused so far to engage on speciﬁcs and continues to assert that it is in full compliance with nuclear agency inspectors, while insisting on its right to enrich ura-

nium no matter what the United Nations Security Council demands. “The Iranians still will not admit that they have a problem with the world,” one diplomat said late Friday night. “Every idea we put forward they ﬁ nd a reason not to take it up.” He said that the talks came very close to ending Friday night, but the parties agreed in the end to continue them on Saturday morning.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NY Times) — President Obama, sending another strong signal that he intends to make his White House more business-friendly, traveled to this industrial city on Friday to appoint a prominent corporate executive as his chief outside economic adviser, and to spotlight his efforts on job creation, in advance of next week’s State of the Union address. Here in the birthplace of General Electric, where the company’s historic brick ediﬁ ce and iconic neon-

script logo loom over downtown, Mr. Obama turned to Jeffrey R. Immelt, the company’s chairman and chief executive, to run his outside panel of economic advisers. Mr. Immelt succeeds Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, who is stepping down. The selection of Mr. Immelt, who was by Mr. Obama’s side during his trip to India last year and again this week during the visit of President Hu Jintao of China, is the latest in a string of pro-business steps the president has taken.

But it was unlikely that a date would be set here for a further round of talks, another Western diplomat said after the last, unscheduled plenary session, which lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes and broke up just before midnight. “I think it will be an agreement to go away and reﬂect” on the usefulness of these talks, said the diplomat, who, like others here, spoke under normal ground rules of anonymity.

KINANGOP, Kenya (NY Times) — Simon Joakim Kiiru remembers a time not long ago when familiar birdsongs ﬁ lled the air here and life was correlated with bird sightings. Over the past two decades, an increasing number of settlers who have moved here to farm have impinged on bird habitats and reduced bird populations by cutting down forests and turning grasslands into ﬁ elds. Now the early effects of global warming and other climate changes have helped send the populations of many local mountain species into a steep downward spiral, from which many experts say they will never recover. Over the next 100 years, many scientists predict, 20 percent to 30 percent of species could be lost if the temperature rises 3.6 degrees to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit. If the most extreme warming predictions are realized, the loss could be over 50 percent, according to the United Nations climate change panel.

New York Jets fans jam Times Square BY COREY KILGANNON THE NEW YORK TIMES

A noisy green interlude descended upon Times Square during rush hour Thursday evening. Much of the city remained unfazed. The police went right on writing parking tickets, annoyed commuters hurried past and panhandlers kept soliciting spare change. Still, the Jets managed to squeeze a pep rally into the heart of Midtown, attracting several thousand screaming fans dressed in green and assuring one another that their team would march into Pittsburgh on Sunday and dismantle the Steelers in the A.F.C. championship game. “Manhattan isn’t exactly the heart of Jets country — it’s probably out in Long Island or Queens or New Jersey somewhere — but at least this is a central location,” said Matt Kenny, 39, of Bayside, Queens. He was holding a sign advertising the $550 package he was offering, which included bus travel, free drinks and a ticket to the game. Kenny said he had sold 80

packages so far. Fans gathered on Broadway backing up to West 43rd Street, penned in by metal barricades. The rally kicked off with Edwin M. Anzalone, better known as the Jets superfan Fireman Ed, revving up the crowd by recalling how the Jets knocked off “big, bad New England.” The crowd reveled in the Jets’ victory last Sunday over the Patriots, and roared when Fireman Ed recalled that the Jets’ defense had New England quarterback Tom Brady “running for his life.” He proclaimed that it would do the same to the “big, bad Steelers.” He mimicked shouldering a heavy load and told fans they would all be carrying Pittsburgh steel back to New York before getting ready for the Super Bowl. He stood on a temporary stage set up in the middle of Broadway, at West 42nd Street. Fans, mostly wearing Jets jerseys and jackets, waved team memorabilia handed out before the rally. Their roars echoed through the

canyon-like area. The speakers who came next — including Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Senator Charles E. Schumer and the Jets’ owner, Woody Johnson — were more subdued than Fireman Ed, and were received with far less enthusiasm. At least one Steelers fan was in the crowd: Jessy Nagel, a 27-year-old housekeeper from Pittsburgh who heckled fans and traded insults with them as a band serenaded the crowd and cheerleaders performed. She scoffed and said: “We don’t have cheerleaders and mascots. We got one football team and we love it, whether they win or lose.”

The rally incorporated some city characters. Gary dos Santos, known as the Mayor of Central Park for his caretaking of the “Imagine” mosaic in Strawberry Fields, held a Jets sign that read “One more win and we’re in.” And a disheveled older man with a long beard panhandled among fans while holding a cardboard sign with the words, “Can I have a shot and a beer?” Meanwhile, Fireman Ed reappeared onstage with the former Jet Marty Lyons and the current, injured Jet Kris Jenkins and led the crowd through one more chant of “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!”

What’s with the flags on clothing? Editor, I have no TV but am a regular radio listener. Recently at a West End bar I saw two sporting events — a college basketball game and a pro football game — Baltimore versus Pittsburgh. I noted that emblems of the American fl ag were displayed on the jersey of the basketball players and on the helmets of the football players. Years ago I saw Joe Namath play at Shea stadium. I don’t recall “Broadway Joe” wearing a 1 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch flag emblem on his helmet. For me the fl ag is sacred, not something to be stuck on this or that. Are we today so insecure about our patriotism that we need to show the fl ag on sports uniforms? The American flag I respect and honor is the one flying porudly atop a fl ag pole just as it was fl own at Valley Forge. Lee Kemble Portland

Not suitable for public viewing Today, we’re looking at surveillance cameras in public. You can be quite sure they are looking back at us. I’ve touched on this touchy issue before, back when surveillance cameras were ﬁ rst put on the METRO bus system last year. At the time, it was viewed as just another tool for the drivers to use as evidence if they had to boot someone off the bus for what I call “Public Obnoxication.” At the time, I was sort of on board the bus when it came to the use of public cameras, just letting everyone know they were out there. These days, hardly a single tragic event goes by on either the local or national level before the video is posted somewhere out there on the internet. But does that make the use of cameras in public right? Since the still camera was invented, folks have been lining the streets and taking shots, some of which are a good historical record for what this city used to look like. But what about the people? Just because somebody wants to use a camera in a public place, does that give them rights to your image? I hate cameras in all forms. Yonder editor has asked me repeatedly for a new picture, and

Bob Higgins –––––

Daily Sun Columnist so far I’ve managed to put it off until the sixth Thursday of next month. Yet every day, I wander down the street with the full knowledge that there are a bunch of cameras scoping out the street scene. Look for a moment to a recent decision by our city council to require a bar to put in security cameras to retain their liquor license. Who is that camera really there to protect? It might make neighbors of Ricky’s feel better, but the deterrent effect of having cameras in public places just hasn’t been proven to my satisfaction yet. London, England has the most security cameras of anywhere on the planet, yet street crime still occurs with frightening frequency. At best, surveillance cameras provide evidence of your own stupidity to be used against you in court, along with the added side beneﬁt of providing interesting ﬁlm for the evening news. It’s

hard to say “It wasn’t me” when your oafi sh mug is captured on digital video pummelling the batsnot out of someone in a bar fight. For some strange reason, folks feel some extra measure of protection in the thought that if someone does something nasty to them, there will at least be video evidence of it. They might be in a full body cast, but somehow they believe when justice is to be done, the irrefutable proof of videotape and digital image capture will ease their pain better than Demerol. In the case of Ricky’s, the council might have overstepped the boundaries a bit here. We want to do all these things to protect people from their own irresponsibility, yet somehow call this a free society. To demand that one business in Portland take extra measures such as cameras, based on the feelings of the squeaky-wheel neighbors, without requiring it of all such businesses in the same trade smacks of gentrification and favoritism. Smoking laws, fat content label laws, food inspection mandates, and video surveillance are the tip of the spear in a nationwide movement that has gained see HIGGINS page 5

‘Supergroups’ are a mixed musical bag SUPERGROUPS. SUPER MEMORABLE OR SUPER HYPE? A couple of weeks ago I rediscovered a record I love that I haven’t listened to for a while. The “S” section of my collection is sometimes hard to see ‘cause the light doesn’t reach that far on my P-through-Z music wall. Yes, my music is all alphabetized. And, yes, I do get out of the house plenty. Swag was an amazing side-project featuring Robert Reynolds of The Mavericks, original Wilco drummer Ken Coomer, Jerry Dale McFadden of Sixpence, None the Richer, and Cheap Trick bassist, the 12-string king Tom ––––– Petersson. The record is The Circle Push ... awesome. The songs, the sound; a real classic. The fellas got together to make a pop rock record with plenty of Revolver/ Rubber Soul Beatles, Byrds, Beach Boys and Zombies on the brain. Rickenbackers galore, dreamy poppy “oo la la’s,” sweet harmonies and enough happy pop bounce to make a criminal smile. Yet at the end, it’s a record that was all their own. Wellcrafted tunes that make you actually want more from this sort of “supergroup.” That’s a dicey word isn’t it? “Supergroup.” The pressure that comes with the whole supergroup thing is no fun, but, hey, musicians’ gotta know they’re bringing it on. I’m sure there’s those who know what they have to look forward to when they ﬁre up a major collab situation. When Chris Cornell of Soundgarden teamed up with Rage Against The Machine (minus vocalist Zach De La Rocha) to form Audioslave, I’m thinking they knew this had world domination written all over it. I’m not sure our world was dominated entirely by Audioslave, but they did have a solid run for three records. Something we’ll listen to in twenty years or just talk about? That’s up to each of you. Personally I’ll listen to their song, “Show Me How To Live” forever. Other than that, I think the monster mash of the two bands turned out a little less than stellar. Other artists have had some success with the supergroup thing over the years. A Perfect Circle formed with members of Tool, Devo and Smashing Pumpkins. In 10 years they haven’t done too much, but they are a band people still love. We’ll actually get a new record from this year. White Stripes man Jack White stepped away from Meg White to ﬁre up the Raconteurs with members of the Greenhornes and solo man Brendan Benson. Zeppelin and Joe Jackson ripoffs aside, their debut record is a great rock album to be loved for years, I believe. The followup, not too shabby. White even picked up the drum sticks to back his other, other band The Dead Weather featuring members of The Greenhornes, Queens of the Stone Age and The Kills. Two records in just about a year and no sign of major success. Hopefully they’re happy, though, ‘cause that’s what these get-togethers should be

The Traveling Wilburys included Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and George Harrison. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was a critical and commercial success, spawning several successful singles and eventually reaching tripleplatinum sales status in the US. The album was nominated for several awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1989. (COURTESY PHOTO)

about. Right? Go way back to the ‘80s. Members of King Crimson, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and The Buggles gathered to bring us some of the most memorable/ forgettable rock tunes of the decade as, Asia. The sound is what everyone expected from the participants, and Asia had some solid success with their debut, never to be followed up as successfully even though they would foolishly continue in different variations over the next 28 years. (Fun fact, Asia has 14 records in their discography and nine of them are one word named albums starting with the letter “A”. That’s kinda silly) One of my favorite supergroups some people forget about is the Power Station. Two members of Duran Duran with the late Chic drummer Tony Thompson and the also late, great Robert Palmer. The band had the makings of just a dance pop band yet turned out to be more of a dance pop, good rock band with the singles like “Some Like it Hot” and their huge sounding take of the T-Rex classic, “Get it On (Bang a Gong).” Add disco legend producer Bernard Edwards (also unfortunately not with us any longer) and that record was hot, man. Ripping guitar by Andy Taylor, slamming drums from Thompson and the cool cat take over by Robert Palmer. I miss him a lot. Heck of a singer and enough style to make his suits want to wear him. One member of the Power Station, bassist John Taylor found another way to dodge a return to his homebase of Duran Duran by teaming up with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Duff McKagan of Guns n’ Roses and drummer Matt Sorum also of Guns and The Cult. The result, a super-produced, punk fueled hard rock album under the name Neurotic Outsiders. The record stunk of beer, booze, cheap fast sex and Los Angeles. Jones and McKagan switched off with lead vocals, but its Jones’ British that gave this group not only it’s sound, but its attitude. Neurotic Outsiders should have done better. Good songs, kick-ass feel all around and massive round jewels the size of a Ford F-150. Sorum would go on with McKagan and Slash from

Guns n‘ Roses to team up with Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland to form Velvet Revolver, who like the equally big intended Audioslave only hit so hard. Even the members of Stone Temple Pilots went on twice to do side projects without Weiland as Talk Show and Army of Anyone with Richard Patrick from Filter. Results again, not so much that twenty years from now listening material. Some “supergroups” were formed to really have fun. So much fun they didn’t even want to write their own tunes. Former members of Tool and Failure teamed up for the modern rocking Replicants; they covered everything from The Cars to Neil Young to Missing Persons and Wings. Lotta crunch on that record. Their take of “Cinnamon Girl” by Neil Young had guitar sounds that could brush your teeth. For fans of Failure this was up your alley. Me First and the Gimme Gimme’s did the covers route and still run strong with it. This is a great pop punk all star band featuring guys from Lagwagon, NOFX, No Use for a Name and eventually the Foo Fighters. Oh, and an amazing lead singer who worked in the mail room of Fat Wreck Chords, the band’s label. The great thing about the Gimme Gimmes besides their great records is that you know they’re having fun. These were friends looking to have some fun with music. Lucky for them it went over well enough to make a continued push with it. Each record has a theme to it. The ﬁrst record was covers of all show tunes. Then the ‘60s, ‘80s R&B, country and even a live album of classic rock songs performed at a young boy’s bah mitzvah. The Good, The Bad and the Queen is a Brit supergroup with amazing parts. Blur and Gorillaz leadman Damon Albarn teamed up with Paul Simonon of The Clash, Simon Tong of The Verve and Drumming legend Tony Allen, father of the afrobeat and part of Fela Kuti’s band. What came out was a dizzying blend of electronic, rhythmic, dub, trip hop soul from the innards of London. Amazing. Not a easy listen for the masses, but a cast of characters to be marveled for years to come. see next page

ground over the last twenty years. Governments pass laws designed to protect you from acting stupid, yet claim they are making you more free by doing so. One of my favorite rants is by Denis Leary, where he observes a society where laws like

these have taken hold. He said something to the effect of “maybe I want to eat greasy cheeseburgers until I sweat gravy.” Those are the choices we are asked to make, yet somehow the onward creep of rules to make me safer from myself just feels wrong. Too much minding everybody else’s business.

Prohibition started here, and I’d hate to see Portland become another example for the history books of the place where liberty and the choice to make bad decisions died. (Bob Higgins is a regular contributor to The Portland Daily Sun.)

Who can forget the Traveling Wilbury’s! There isn’t a supergroup ever with more legend power. Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne of ELO. Mostly comprised one time to record a b-side for a George Harrison single, the Wilbury’s made history with a lineup we’ll never see upstaged. Not any more. If the songs were crap it would still be worth your 12 bucks. That wasn’t the case, of course, as the guys scripted their own brand of rock from the heartland. “Handle With Care” is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Metal has had its share over the years like Blue Murder, Down, Kingdom of Sorrow, Superjoint Ritual and Hell Yeah to name a few. Mike Patton from Faith No More and Mr. Bungle has had his share of super weird groups like the amazing Fantomas with guys from Slayer, The Melvins and Mr. Bungle. He’s also made some great records with Tomahawk, featuring members of Helmet, The Melvins and Jesus Lizard. Both have had strong slightly-under-the-radar success. Patton wouldn’t want it any other way, too. Just ask him about his Fantomas tour with Tool. Fantomas, a band started out as comic book score with no complete words supporting one of the biggest rock bands in the world, with songs and actual lyrics. The mass crowd didn’t digest Fantomas well. But hey, that’s OK, too. Not everyone has to get it. Labels didn’t. This is a band that had a bidding war out for them before they even played a show due to its metal star power. When the competing interested labels eventually heard the music from the band at their ﬁ rst public show, well, let’s just say I heard every label who showed up to see them was gone after 10 minutes. Fantomas, weird as they are, are super amazing and still can sell out decent sized rooms all around the world. They are happy. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to get out of supergroups. For some it’s meant to be a big thing with big management and big promo plans. The mass audience likes them ‘cause ... it’s so and so from this band and so and so from that band. Oh, duh, so I should like it! Nonsense. The hype before it even begins is usually hard to take especially knowing the track record of so many off target shots from supergroups. For others, the ones who truly want an opportunity like this to mean something they make these one-time records and they simply are what they are. Sometimes just records. Sometimes no tours or live shows to go along with them. Sometimes they’re not what you’d think they would be either. The real thrill to them, I suspect, is the joy of making something new with someone you admire. Your peers can bring something out of you or that

you can’t reveal under the pressures of your full time band that everyone expects certain things from. In other words, your hobby and your job are two different things. I think hobbies are super important and healthy. Most musicians are into so much different music these days its tough to stick to one sound. Making a side record allows you to change face for a minute and people can like it or go walk the dog. Their choice. I think back to the Swag record. Just seemed so real and natural and easy going. I think, here’s a few guys sitting around with their instruments who love the Beatles wanting to make some music together. Funny, come to think of it, that sounds like how a lot of bands start.

Developer would put homes, shops, eateries in Augusta’s Flatiron building BY BETTY ADAMS

THE KENNEBEC JOURNAL, AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA — Picture the former Cony fl atiron building as housing a mix of shops, restaurants and homes. That’s the vision of a Manchester businessman who submitted the lone proposal to redevelop the city-owned former high school building that fronts Cony Circle. City councilors will discuss the proposal at an upcoming informational meeting, City Manager William Bridgeo said. Gary Violette, owner of Central Maine Drywall, has proposed to redevelop the three-story building and add a fourth floor of condominiums. In a proposal submitted this week to the city, Violette indicated he would be the primary individual responsible for the project, with his business functioning as the general contractor. Working with him would be Richard Parkhurst, also of Manchester, owner of Oakes & Parkhurst Glass; Jim Coffi n, of E.S. Coffi n Engineering and Surveying of Augusta; and Gawron Turgeon Architects, of Scarborough. Violette’s proposal, submitted via Coffi n, offers to buy the flatiron building for $1. This is at least the third time the city has sought redevelopment proposals 2009. Up to this point, councilors have not found an acceptable one.

Violette’s plan estimates the project will cost between $1.7 million to $2.2 million, and he indicated he will seek tax increment fi nancing and grants to help with the funding. The concept, as outlined in his proposal, lays out each floor of the building: • fi rst fl oor: a pub in the old gym and a modernizing of the former weight room, with existing garage space serving fourth-fl oor condominium residents; • second floor: four residential units with 20,000 square feet left for a potential tenant; • third fl oor: convert existing auditorium to a restaurant with the stage used for performances; and • fourth floor: condominiums. Bridgeo said the request for proposals issued by the city “left it fairly open as to what we were looking for.” “It’s certainly been emphasized that city’s preference would be to preserve the auditorium for public performance space, and preserve the historic edifice as an iconic structure in Augusta,” he said. The city spends about $50,000 a year to heat and maintain the building. Copyright (c) 2011, Kennebec Journal, Augusta. Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services.

resolve crimes in the past, but the police department does not operate its own system of CCTV cameras, Rogers said. “Certainly as an investigative tool having cameras that cover public areas of travel would be a beneﬁ t to us, but the city has not stepped into that realm of putting cameras out there on the citizens,” said Lt. Jeanine Roberts of the PPD. But civil liberty advocates say that the proliferation of CCTV and the city council mandate is a slippery slope towards an Orwellian future. “The growing presence of cameras brings about subtle but profound changes in how we go about daily business,” said Shenna Bellows, executive director of the MCLU. “When citizens feel they are being watched they are more likely to engage in selfcensorship,” she said. Bellows said that the purported crime-busting beneﬁts of CCTV do not outweigh its liberty-infringing consequences. “Video surveillance carries real dangers of misuse. They have been used criminally to harass and target people and they encourage voyeurism and discriminatory targeting,” she said. Bellows calls the very effectiveness of CCTV use into question, citing a University of Leicester study where only one out of 14 surveillance sys-

tems across the UK was seen to deter crime. “Great Britain is a society where cameras have been extensively deployed in public places, but studies by sociologists and the British government said cameras did not cut crime or fear of crime,” she said. Bellows believes that the city council’s mandate to Ricky’s Tavern is a way for the city to “skirt political fallout and cost,” by putting the burden of surveillance on a business owner. “The city should increase its community policing presence, not surveillance cameras,” she said. “There’s no such thing as good and bad technology. It’s just a question of how the technology is implemented and how this implementation creates problems for civil liberties. It turns the concept of innocent until proven guilty on its head,” said Bellows. “Our laws have not kept pace with technology and neither the legislature nor Congress has paid much attention to protecting people’s fundamental rights to freedom of expression and privacy,” she said. Lt. Roberts said that in her role with the PPD she has seen the beneﬁt of CCTV cameras. “They do deter crime to some extent, but the reality is that with some people within our population, nothing will deter them,” she said. see SURVEILLANCE page 8

Owner seeks furniture plant at former Saunders Mill BY LESLIE H. D IXON THE SUN JOURNAL, LEWISTON

FRYEBURG (McClatchy) — As investigators continue their work to determine the cause of the fire at Saunders Mill in late December, owner Louise Jonaitis said she is working to use the remaining fi ve buildings to open another Moosehead Furniture factory this year. Jonaitis seeks to employ up to 15 workers at the buildings remaining at the site. She bought Moosehead Furniture Co. in Monson for just over $1 million in 2010. The fire destroyed the main manufacturing plant at the vacant former Saunders Mill on Fair Street. Jonaitis bought the Fryeburg mill at an auction for $200,000 after it had closed in 2008. It had been on the market for $310,000 before the fire. She also said she is still trying to resolve an outstanding tax issue with Fryeburg offi cials that she said was caused by a miscalculation by assessors who taxed the property as an operating business and not a warehouse. “I’m asking for an abatement,” she said. “I’m waiting to move forward.” The cause of the fire is still under investigation, Stephen McCausland, Maine State Police spokesman said Thursday. About 70 firefighters from nine towns were called to fight the flames. Investigators have not released a cause but senior investigator Richard Shepard told the Sun Journal several days after the fire that he feels “pretty comfortable” they know what happened.

CCTVs used by police, businesses SURVEILLANCE from page 7

CCTVs are more useful in tracking down criminals once they have committed a crime, according to Roberts. “I have seen case after case where we have surveillance in say, a Rite Aid which gets a picture that goes out to the department and area departments and we’re able to identify suspects from ofﬁcer’s common knowledge,” she said.

Need Confidence?

Video surveillance is not for everyone. Some business owners say that with store robberies few and far between, a CCTV system would be more of a hassle than it’s worth. “We got robbed once about three years ago. Other than that there’s been no problems so why go looking for trouble,” said Dicky Colucci, owner of Colucci’s Hilltop Market on Munjoy Hill. For others, cameras are just a fun way to engage the community. A website called Streets of Portland, which also has a commercial space at 484 Congress, has installed a webcam on the roof of their building which can be controlled by any user on their website to look up and down Congress Street and Monument Square. Several area bars have installed cameras voluntarily, but not the crime-busting kind. The Great Lost Bear, a popular beer destination with their 60-plus taps of local and microbrewed beer, installed the “BearCam” years ago as a way to allow web visitors to see what patrons are up to. The grainy camera is trained on the one of the restaurant’s bars, and is a good way to check how long you’ll be waiting if you decide to stop by for a pint. “We’ve got people coming in from all over the world waving to the camera while on their cell phone at the same time,” said Rob Evan, owner of the Great Lost Bear. “It’s just to keep the website interesting,” said Evans, who doesn’t expect to infringe on anyone’s civil liberties with the low-resolution camera. “You would have to be pretty eagle-eyed to recognize anyone you know on there,” he said. The Great Lost Bear also has security cameras outside of the restaurant trained on the perimeter, which Evans said have saved the business from at least one lawsuit in the past. “We have one woman who fell in front of the restaurant and we were able to look at it and determine she fell in the street. It really protected us from a frivolous lawsuit,” he said. The woman, it would seem, was never a big Rockwell fan.

Sea Dogs manager a blast from the past BY JEFF PETERSON

SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

When it comes to managing the Sea Dogs this season, it will be a blast from the past. Thirty-six-year-old Kevin Boles was ofﬁ cially introduced to fans and the media at the annual Hot Stove Dinner and Silent Auction on Friday night. Boles becomes the 10th manager in Sea Dogs history, replacing Arnie Beyeler. Boles is no stranger to Portland baseball fans. He was the Sea Dogs bullpen coach for during the 1997 season. “Being in Portland back then was one of the best summers I ever had,” said Boles. “I remember the atmosphere and the great crowds.” Boles comes back to Portland after managing for 11 seasons with other minor league teams. Last season he guided the Single-A Salem Red Sox to a record of 73-65. He also managed the Single A Greenville Drive in 2008 and 2009. Before that, he managed in the Twins, Royals and Marlins organizations. During his ﬁ rst year of managing back in 2000, at the age of 25, he lead the Single-A Utica Blue Sox to the playoffs. “I just love the game of baseball,” said Boles. “I have been blessed to be able to be involved in a sport I just love for several years.” The name Boles is very familiar to

Sea Dogs fans. Kevin’s father John Boles managed the Florida Marlins in 1996 and 1999-2001. He also served as the Marlins Director of Player Development. He helped put together the Sea Dogs rosters for several years, including playoff rosters 1995-1997. Boles has been a big part of Sea Dogs history. His picture is actually up at Hadlock Field. That’s because he is a current member of the Sea Dogs Hall of Fame. That means Kevin will see his father every day when the Sea Dogs play at Hadlock Field. “I am so proud of my father,” said the Sea Dogs manger. “The upbringing I had is unique. I grew up around the game. Baseball was never forced on me or my brother. I do talk to him everyday. We talk baseball, but we cant talk too many specifi c since he works for the competition now, the Seattle Mariners.” This upcoming season will be the fourth for Boles in the Red Sox organization. He’s enjoyed his career wherever he’s played, but he would be the first one to admit, working for the Sox is something special. “It is a great organization,” said Boles. “You really get a chill when you put the uniform on, knowing you are with the Red Sox. Last year, I had my fi rst chance to be part of a game at Fenway Park in the Future’s game. It’s really quite an experience.” Boles loves meeting the fans, like

at Friday’s event in South Portland, but he can’t wait to head to Florida for spring training and then open the season in Portland. “There is such a buzz this winter when it comes to the Red Sox and all of the talent we have. Talk about player development. It is such an honor to work for the Red Sox and Sea Dogs.” As for what kind of team we can expect, just like any minor league team, it really depends on what players end up on the roster. Boles does

admit though, besides getting players ready for the majors, he plays to win and loves to entertain the crowds. “We will play a blue collar style of baseball. That means we will be very aggressive in everything we do from defense, pitching, base running to hitting. I just want to put on a show for the fans.” We’ll ﬁnd out exactly what kind of show April 7 at Hadlock Field when the Sea Dogs open the season against the Reading Phillies.

Pooch Café For Better or Worse LIO

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your obligations may not line up as well with the dictates of your heart as they once did. Try to remember why you first committed yourself, and you will recapture your original gusto. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will finish what you start, but it takes a great deal of effort to stay focused. If you can discipline your mind now, you will have even greater powers of discipline in the future and at the crucial time when you most need it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). One minute you can’t wait to open the next door, and the next minute you feel dread about what might be on the other side. This mix of anticipation and apprehension makes for a strange day, indeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Luck is with you as you try something new. There’s not much to lose with this one, as there is a minimal investment of time and energy and a great potential for growth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll put your money behind the person you really believe in, even if you don’t quite understand what this person is doing and why. Your heart knows what your mind doesn’t. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22). Your health is robust this year, and your confidence will be high. You’ll either move or make considerable upgrades to your home in February. An infatuation becomes a commitment in March. Your creative ideas lead to professional success in April. July brings new friends, as well as a better understanding of your history. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 41, 22 and 15.

by Aaron Johnson

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You notice that people expect something of you other than that which you are drawn to do. Can you help it that the choices you are attracted to happen to be unusual? You’ll strike a pleasing balance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will get clear about what you want from a certain person, and you will ﬁ nd a relationship groove that works for you. What you thought you wanted is different from what you actually need. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re attracted to people who are wildly driven to develop big plans and push their lives in an exciting direction. Just don’t let your own ambitions get lost in the whirlwind. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will reach a point where there is nothing more you can do to inﬂ uence an outcome. It’s time to let fate take over. As your sign mate Julius Caesar said while crossing the river Rubicon, “The die is cast.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your spirit is restless. The wind whispers a promise in your ear: You will see the faraway lands you dream about. Furthermore, you will see them sooner if you start your travel research now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your project lacks the momentum it once had. It’s normal to hit a plateau, and you should not take this as a sign that it’s time to stop. Muscle through. An encouraging Leo will help you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone aches when you leave and thrills to your every return. Knowing that you have such a hold on this person’s emotions, it would be wrong to stay away too long.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2011. There are 343 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. On this date: In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, explorer Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent. In 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81. In 1907, the Richard Strauss opera “Salome” made its American debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York; its racy content sparked outrage and forced cancellation of additional performances. In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson pleaded for an end to war in Europe, calling for “peace without victory.” (By April, however, America also was at war.) In 1922, Pope Benedict XV died; he was succeeded by Pius XI. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy. In 1959, 12 workers were killed in the Knox Mine Disaster in Pennsylvania. In 1973, former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at age 64. In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 104. In 2008, actor Heath Ledger was found dead of an accidental prescription overdose in New York City; he was 28. One year ago: President Barack Obama tried to revive his battered agenda and rally Democrats with a renewed emphasis on jobs during a town hall meeting in Elyria, Ohio. The “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon raised over $66 million. Conan O’Brien ended his brief tenure on “The Tonight Show” after accepting a $45 million buyout from NBC to leave the show he’d long dreamed of hosting after only seven months. Actress Jean Simmons, 80, died in Santa Monica, Calif. Actor James Mitchell, 89, died in Los Angeles. Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) is 83. Actress Piper Laurie is 79.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my husband and I had some problems and we separated. My parents were wonderfully supportive at the time, but when I decided to return to my marriage, they insisted my husband apologize to them. He refused, saying he only owed apologies to me and the children, and even if he did apologize to my parents, it wouldn’t change their feelings toward him. I tend to agree with him. They have had a rocky relationship since we were engaged. My parents have now decided that my husband is not welcome in their home if he doesn’t apologize. That is their choice. My husband is pretty good about letting me take the kids to see my folks without him. The problem is always during the holidays. My husband and I each have children from previous relationships, and they need to see those sets of parents and grandparents on the holidays, too. My mom, no matter what, is never happy with how I divide my time. I am tired of being told, “It would be nice if you would eat here once in awhile,” or “Why can’t you stay longer?” I have told my mother that I am doing the best I can, but will not leave my husband to eat holiday meals alone. That isn’t good enough. She complains that all she gets are the “leftovers” of my day. Christmas was difﬁ cult last year. How can I get Mom to understand that I can only be in so many places at a time? I am tired of the guilt trips. What can I do short of telling her that we won’t come at all? -- Not Looking Forward to Easter Dear Not: Your mother understands perfectly, but she is selﬁsh. She wants all of your time and doesn’t care how hard

it is for you or how unfair it is to others. Stop explaining your reasons, and learn to ignore her complaints. Give her whatever time you can manage, and if she doesn’t like it, too bad. Dear Annie: I can’t help commenting on the letter from “Confused in California,” who asked what to call people who are separated but not divorced. I suggest we invent the word “detachee” for women and “detache” for men who are separated from their spouses. We should all agree that this word refers to someone in the process of detaching him or herself from a marriage. We can give the term a bit of French ﬂair by pronouncing it “day-tahshay,” the way we do “ﬁancee.” There’s nothing wrong with inventing a word as long as we all agree on what it means. -- G.F. Dear G.F.: We like it! Read on for a few more suggestions: From the East Coast: For 20 years, I lived in New York City, where the Draconian divorce laws kept many people together long after the marriage was over -- dead, but not buried, as I used to say. We called them “The Terminally Separated.” Louisiana: “Confused in California” should simply refer to himself as “married.” He should call his wife, who isn’t living with him anymore, his “wife.” Those statuses do not change because of the living arrangements. If he meets someone with whom he wants to pursue a relationship, then he can explain the dynamics of his marital relationship. California: My husband and I have been separated for six years, and I, too, struggled with what to call him. I now refer to him as my was-band, which often gets a laugh and is easily understood.

Nathan Clifford Elementary School packing party

(blues, bluegrass & jazz mash-up), formed in 2009 . Working a single mic, they slide from one genre to another, sometimes midtune. Mark Peterson’s voice is smooth, his blues harmonica commanding; when not taking the lead it supports the back beat for Mike Conant’s bluegrass-style instrumentation (guitar, banjo, and occasionally frenetic ﬁ ddle). Keeping this train on the tracks is jazz standup bassist Tim Clough. Tim not only keeps the heartbeat going but frequently takes this ensemble to places where the tracks don’t go. It’s a work in process (that’s why it’s called a project); no two performances are the same.

Tuesday, Jan. 25 ‘How to Succeed at Poetry without Really Trying’ at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor

4 p.m. There are many ways to create poetry says Andrew Periale, who is teaching at College of the Atlantic this term. Periale will be taking an innovative approach to talking about writing poetry in a presentation he calls “Showing Up: Or How to Succeed at Poetry without Really Trying.” The talk, part of the college’s weekly Human Ecology Forum, will be in the college’s McCormick Lecture Hall. Periale, who works as a puppeteer, playwright and poet, has the following to say about writing poetry: “There are all kinds of ways to create poetry. There is the ﬂash of brilliance that ﬂoods your entire being while relaxing in the bath, or when you notice that the stain on your favorite T-shirt looks exactly like Lady Gaga. There is the passion ignited by a just cause.

The Art of Delegating with Jim Millken

7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Seminar — The Art of Delegating with Jim Millken. Chamber Offi ces, 60 Pearl Street, Portland. Free to Chamber members; $10 for nonmembers. Jim Milliken is a consultant who specializes in helping individuals and organizations become more productive. He works on-site with executives and managers to improve the processes and structures of organizations, and to provide customized skill-building training. He also presents classroom training, with workplace-based designs that emphasize practical skills in Project Management, Communication and Personal Productivity. Few things in the workplace are as difficult as delegation – or as important. Anyone in a position of supervision, management or leadership must be able to get results through the work of other people. The process must be reliable and effective. It must be handled without excessive duplicated effort, and it must produce a net gain in output and in the value of the mutual relationship. “Delegation is a special combination of teamwork, supervision and project management. When it is done well, it creates remarkable productivity. As a bonus, it provides a very satisfying growth process for everyone.” Organizing for America 8 p.m. Volunteers with Organizing for America (OFA) will gather at Ri Ra Irish Pub and Restaurant in Portland, 72 Commercial St., second fl oor to watch President Obama deliver his State of the Union address.

Volunteers will also discuss and plan ways in which they can continue supporting the President’s agenda and protect the progress the country has made the last two years.”

Wednesday, Jan. 26 Jane Brox — ‘Brilliant’ at Portland Public Library

noon to 1 p.m. In “Brilliant,” Jane Brox traces the fascinating history of human light from the stone lamps of the Pleistocene to the LEDs embedded in fabrics of the future—and reveals that the story of light is also the story of our evolving selves. As Brox uncovers the social and environmental implications of the human desire for more and more light, she captures with extraordinary intensity the feel of historical eras: the grit and difﬁ culty of daily life during the long centuries of meager illumination when crude lamps and tallow candles constricted waking hours; and the driven, almost crazed pursuit of whale oil and coveted spermaceti across the world’s oceans. “‘Brilliant’ is a compelling story imbued with human voices, startling insights, and—only a few years before it becomes illegal to sell most incandescent light bulbs in the United States — timely questions about how the light of the future will shape our lives.” Brown Bag Lecture Series, Portland Public Library, Rines Auditorium. Free.

Thursday, Feb. 3 Woods, Ducktails and Herbcraft

9 p.m. Over the past few years New York’s Woods have established themselves as an anomaly in a world of freaks. They were an odd proposition even in the outré company of vocalist/guitarist/label owner Jeremy Earl’s Woodsist roster, perpetually out of time, committed to songsmanship in an age of noise, drone and improvisation, to extended soloing, oblique instrumentals and the usurping use of tapes and F/X in an age of dead-end singer-songwriters. Duckt=ails is Matthew Mondanile, a New Jerseyian whose pop is drenched in a warm drone. There is a pretty amazingly realized aesthetic running through this stuff, with all its plastic nostalgias -- like Ninja Turtles pizza, fake palm trees, sugary cereal -- and the lo-fitape fuzz that also permeates his other projects, Predator Vision, Real Estate, and Dreams In Mirror Field. It’s home recording with one of the comfi est feels you’ll fi nd. Herbcraft, the Portland deep-psych songwriting project of Matt Lajoie opens the night in anticipation of their new release, “Ashram to the Stars” on Woodsist vinyl-only imprint, Hello Sunshine. $5-$10 suggested donation, all ages. The Apohadion
