Mission to fi nd other earths in jeopardy

SAYWHAT...There is nothing on this earth more to

be prized than true friend-ship.” — Thomas Aquinas

(NY Times) — NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has been crip-pled by the failure of one of the reaction wheels that keep it pointed, the space agency is announcing this afternoon, according to astronomers close to the situation.

If engineers cannot restore the wheel or fi nd some other way to keep the spacecraft’s telescope pointed, it could spell a premature end to one of the most romantic and successful of NASA’s mis-sions: the search for Earth-like planets in habitable orbits around other stars. Just last month, astrono-mers reported that Kepler had found two planets only slightly larger than Earth orbiting in the “Goldilocks” zone, where liquid water is possible, of a star 1,200 light-years from here. More planet candidates, even smaller and closer to being Earth-like, lurk in the pipe-line, astronomers say, but they have not yet been con-fi rmed.

Kepler was launched in March 2009. Its mission was to determine the frac-tion of stars in the galaxy that harbor Earth-like planets by carrying out a survey of some 150,000 stars in the constellations of Cygnus and Lyra, look-ing for the dips in starlight caused by planets pass-ing, or transiting, in front of their suns. To date, the spacecraft has identifi ed 115 planets and has a list of 2,740 other candidates.

Since Earth transits only once a year, two more years would have given astrono-mers a chance to see more transits of the planets they are looking for. Without the extra time, the data will be noisy, astronomers say, and so the answer will be a little more uncertain than it might have been.

“It was one of those things that was a gift to humanity,” said one astron-omer who spoke on condi-tion of anonymity because NASA had not yet made the news public. “We’re all going to lose for sure.”

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Obama administration sought on Wednes-day to revive legislation that would provide greater protections to reporters from pen-alties for refusing to identify confi dential sources, and that would enable journalists to ask a federal judge to quash subpoenas for their phone records, a White House offi cial said.

The offi cial said that President Obama’s Senate liaison, Ed Pagano, called Sena-

tor Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, who is a chief proponent of a so-called media shield law, on Wednesday morning and asked him to reintroduce a bill that he had pushed in 2009. Called the Free Flow of Information Act, the bill was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a bipartisan 15-to-4 vote in December 2009. But while it was awaiting a fl oor vote, a furor over leaking arose after WikiLeaks began publishing archives of secret gov-

ernment documents, and the bill never received a vote.

The new push comes as the Obama administration has come under fi re from both parties amid the disclosure this week that the Justice Department, as part of a leak investigation, secretly used a subpoena earlier this year to obtain a broad swath of calling records involving Associated Press reporters and editors.

White House pushes for media shield law

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — A senior Israeli offi cial signaled on Wednesday that Israel was con-sidering further military strikes on Syria to stop the transfer of advanced weapons to Islamic mili-tants, and he warned the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, that his government would face crip-pling consequences if it retaliated against Israel.

The Israeli offi cial said: “Israel is determined to continue to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah. The transfer of such

weapons to Hezbollah will destabi-lize and endanger the entire region.”

“If Syrian President Assad reacts by attacking Israel, or tries to strike Israel through his terror-ist proxies,” the offi cial said, “he will risk forfeiting his regime, for Israel will retaliate.”

The Israeli offi cial, who has been briefed by high-level offi cials on the Syria situation in the past two days, declined to be identifi ed, citing the need to protect internal Israeli deliberations. He contacted The New York Times on Wednesday.

Israel hints at new strikes, warning Syria not to hit back

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — More than 100 pages of e-mails released by the White House on Wednesday reveal intensive jostling between the C.I.A. and the State Department over the government’s offi cial “talking points” in the aftermath of last Sep-tember’s attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans.

The White House released the e-mails to reporters after Republicans seized on snippets of the correspondence that became public last Friday to suggest that President Obama’s staff had been complicit in trying to alter the talk-ing points used by Susan E. Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, in the days after the attacks.

White House aides have said the excerpts used by Repub-licans — and heavily reported by the news media — were an inaccurate representation of their involvement. On Tuesday, CNN obtained one of the e-mails in question that appeared to minimize the White House involvement.

Acting I.R.S. chief forced out over Tea Party targeting WASHINGTON — President Obama

announced Wednesday night that the acting commissioner of the Internal Reve-nue Service had been fi red, and he pledged that his administration would cooperate with Congressional investigations into the targeting of conservative groups.

Speaking in the White House’s formal East Room, the president said Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew had asked for and accepted the resignation of Steven Miller, who was aware of the agency’s efforts to single out conservative groups for special

scrutiny as a deputy I.R.S. commissioner.Miller is scheduled to testify on Friday

before the House Ways and Means Com-mittee in the fi rst of a series of hearings on the I.R.S. targeting scandal.

“Americans have a right to be angry about it, and I’m angry about it,” the president said. “It should not matter what political stripe you’re from. The fact of the matter is the I.R.S. has to operate with absolute integrity.”

He vowed that the Treasury Depart-ment would ensure new safeguards were

in place to prevent a similar incident from happening in the future, and he promised to work “hand in hand with Congress as it performs its oversight role.”

“We’re going to hold the responsible par-ties accountable,” Obama said.

Earlier Wednesday, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. warned top offi cials at the Internal Revenue Service that criminal laws on false statements could come into play in a Justice Department investigation on the agency’s targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

Weekend’s WestFest broadens appeal for adult participantsWest End festival rolls out Saturday

This year’s WestFest is not mere kids’ stuff. While there will still be all the fun and games for the younger set on Saturday, May 18, at the Maine Irish Heritage Center, the annual celebration of West End crafters, artists, and artisans will have a distinctly grown-up feel to it.

“In the past, (at Reiche community center), it was more of a kid event,” said Rosanne Graef, presi-dent of West End Neighborhood Association, “We’re trying to bring it into the neighborhood, and focus on adults as well.”

This is the fourth year of the festival, and Graef has been involved since its inception.

The day kicks off with a breakfast at St. Louis Church, in conjunction with Wayside, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Also at 9 a.m., a horse-drawn wagon from Rockinghorse Stables in Kennebunk will be giving free rides from MIHC to St. Louis. The wagon is also giving rides from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The festival will feature arts and crafts, as well as a “raffle row” with different prizes offered.

“You put raffle tickets in front of an item,” Graef said, “the more tickets, the better probability. There

will be a 50/50, refreshments, face-painting, and the new book mobile (from Portland Public Library) in the afternoon.”

WestFest will offer a sidewalk chalk-drawing con-test. Kids start drawing at 11 a.m.; the judging is at 2 p.m. The theme of this year’s contest is “My West End.” Anyone can enter, and there will be cash prizes for the winners.

“We’re hoping also to encourage people to eat out in West End restaurants,” Graef said, “places like the West End Deli, Café Oh No.”

Food and drink at the festival is free, but dona-tions are welcomed. The craft show will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The money raised goes to swimming lessons for fourth and fifth graders from Reiche,” Graef said. One planned event for the festival had to be scrapped. The evening talent show is not going for-ward, as they didn’t have enough people sign up. “It’s not that we didn’t have enough talent,” Graef said. “I guess people are shy.”

Also coming up, there will be a field day for kids from Reiche School on June 1, sponsored by the Port-land Recreation Department and the Reiche Parent/Teacher Organization. The field day will be held at the school. (See the Events Calendar on page 13 for details on this and other weekend events.)

Caulk thanks voters after $96.4 million school budget passes

Portland Schools Superinten-dent Emmanuel Caulk issued a statement in response to the passage Tues-day of a referen-dum validating the Portland Public Schools’ $96.4 mil-lion budget for fiscal year 2014, thanking voters for their sup-port.

The $96,360,549 budget before voters represented a 3 percent increase in the school portion of Portland’s property tax rate. Municipal Referendum Question No. 1, which read: “Do you favor

approving the Portland School Budget for the upcoming school year that was adopted at the latest City Council budget meet-ing?” passed by 1,347 to 914, for a 59.58 percent margin of passage.

A second referendum question, Question No. 2, asked if voters want to continue to vote on the school budget for the next three years, and it passed 1,261 to 996, for a 55.87 percent margin, according to the city clerk’s office.

“Thank you to the voters of Port-land for showing their support for the Portland Public Schools by approving our proposed budget for the 2013-2014 school year,” Caulk said. “This has been a very challenging budget to craft. We deeply regret the number of layoffs that will occur and the resulting loss of many talented teachers and staff. At the same time, we recognized the need to keep property taxes affordable for Portland residents,” Caulk said, referring to an estimated 65 full-time positions both locally

funded and grant funded that face elimination.

Mayor Brennan praises police during Peace Officer’s Memorial Day

On Wednesday, Portland Mayor Michael Brennan called upon residents of Portland to join him in applauding and thank-ing the generations of Portland Police officers for their commit-ment to Portland, in recognition of Peace Officer’s Memorial Day.

The national day of tribute to local, state and federal law enforce-ment officers who serve and pro-tect the community falls within National Police Week, which will be recognized by a City Council Proc-lamation at the next City Council meeting. Members of the public can visit the memorial and bench at Evergreen Cemetery, which was dedicated to all Portland Police Officers who have served the city.

The Eastern Promenade “should be considered Portland’s signature park in that it embodies the essential character of the city with grand sweeping views of Casco Bay.” These are the opening words in the City of Portland’s Master Plan for the Eastern Promenade. Adopted in 2004, the master plan is the result of a comprehensive study of the history and architecture of the Eastern Promenade along with input from Portland citizens.

The master plan provides guidance for both long- and short-term planning and improvements to the Park. It identifies the priorities and implementation process for preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, reconstruction, maintenance, management and care of this historic landscape. It also states “the forma-tion of a Friends Group for the Eastern Promenade is strongly recommended.”

The master plan’s number one priority is resolu-tion of public safety issues within the Park including “relocation of the commercial boat ramp to a suit-able location outside the park.”

A recent article suggested that “a small group of Munjoy Hill residents are attempting to close the commercial boat ramp.” In fact, it is the master plan that guides the decision to relocate the ramp for the purposes of enhancing public safety and preserving historic integrity.

While the commercial boat ramp provides a vital link to the islands, the master plan recognizes the many conflicts associated with the recreational and historical intent of one of Portland’s premier public assets. To address these concerns, the master plan states that relocating the commercial boat ramp and

its associated materials storage outside the park “should be aggressively pursued by the city.”

No fees are assessed to barge opera-tors utilizing this public facility; yet, the weight and volume of commercial vehicles driving to and from the ramp is taking a toll on the Park’s infrastructure.

Last spring, the city contracted with a marine engineering firm to identity func-tional, environmental, and constructabil-

ity options as well as probable construction costs for other sites. Hydrographic surveys were conducted to estimate the amount of dredge and fill quanti-ties. In addition, the City Manager’s annual Capital Improvements Program recognizes a request from the Department of Public Services to consider fund-ing for engineering, site development and construc-tion of a new commercial boat landing in FY15.

Barge operators utilizing the commercial boat ramp were interviewed to provide input into the study; as they did during the public process creat-ing the master plan. Findings from this study will be used to determine a possible alternate site. As an interim measure, the city is taking steps to better manage operations and communications with barge operators by building on past access agreements for storage of materials and equipment waiting to be shipped to the islands.

Overall, recreational park use is on the rise, as evidenced by the number of people walking, biking, running, rollerblading, sledding or taking some quiet time to enjoy the spectacular views along the Eastern Promenade. Water use also has expanded

in recent years. On a summer day, large numbers of kayaks, windsurfers, dinghies, paddleboards, racing skulls and small boats may be bobbing in the water. The increased use makes relocating the commercial boat ramp to a more appropriate setting an even more pressing concern.

As with all projects impacting the Park, there will be several opportuni-ties to review any proposals and pro-vide ideas, comments and concerns. It is the hope of Friends of the East-

ern Promenade that the outcome will ensure our beloved park is a safer place for all to enjoy.

Founded in 2006, Friends of the Eastern Promenade, currently has over 250 members through out the Portland Community. Join us and help support our efforts to preserve, protect and enhance the Eastern Promenade. More information is available at our website; EasternPromenade.org

chock-a-block full with diagnostic tests, prescriptions, and a mountain of medical debt that has spiraled some families into bankruptcy, as insur-ance costs to pay these bills, rise to the point that many have no choice but to become uninsured.

As the Affordable Care Act puts the wheels in motion, we learn that the new coverage requirements for health plans are more robust than many cur-rent health insurance plans for indi-viduals. The obvious comes to mind: more insurance coverage (now man-dated by the government) must equate to higher insurance costs. We’re told there will be subsidies for income-eli-gible applicants. We wonder: Will the subsidy against a more robust plan, actually produce an insurance cost savings for us? Or are we just esca-lating an already broken system and making it worse? Wouldn’t you like to have a say in this matter? After all, it is your health; it is your wallet!

Enter Kevin Lewis, CEO of Maine Community Health Options (MCHO) in Lewiston. Kevin has spent his career seeking ways to improve access to care for the underserved populations; the uninsured; the self employed, individ-ual market.

“I loved working with the safety net of community health centers, a job that was constantly rewarding and invigo-rating, but I also saw that the state also needed a non-profit, consumer-driven, health plan that brought together the various threads of health care reform that are organically rooted in Maine,” said Lewis, who, in 2011, in the heat of health care reform, moved full steam ahead organizing a health insurance plan, thanks to a $62.1 million fed-eral loan from the Centers for Medi-care and Medicaid Services (CMS); the vision: a CO-OP that would be for Maine people; by Maine people.

“I was motivated to push forward with this because I saw that the status quo wasn’t working,” said Lewis. This past February MCHO received the green light from the Maine Bureau of Insurance — a license to operate as the first Maine-based non-profit CO-OP in the state.

“MCHO is on the map as a solu-tion for better health and lower costs for Maine people and businesses. As a result of working together with pro-viders, consumers, and employers, we will offer coverage choices that pro-duce better results for our members,” said Lewis, whose goal is to move people from the sidelines of coverage to meaningful benefits.

So what exactly is a CO-OP? It is an acronym for Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan. After a little time in CO-OP study hall, I learned that CO-OP’s are being viewed by the ACA as innovators in the delivery of health care and insurance benefits. MCHO is a Maine initiative. They are hiring Maine people. They support local orga-nizations. They will be governed by a member-based board of directors. Enrollees will have a strong voice in the management and development of plans. All plans will be compliant with the ACA benefit standards and levels. Any surplus revenues will be returned to members via lower premiums, cost sharing, improved quality, enhanced benefits, or financial stability. One would imagine that as soon as you give a member a say in their coverage, they may get more involved and interested in the outcome – especially if it means lower cost and a better, healthier out-come.

This all sounds well and good; I question how MCHO, who still must follow the federal mandates, is actu-ally able to be different — reducing costs, improving medical outcomes, and delivering an option that Mainers will embrace.

Lewis outlines the goals of MCHO:• To reduce the financial barriers,

and move to high value service with a promise to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.

• Support local care management and advance the development of patient centered health homes.

• Provide needed information, easily accessible, to plan members and pro-viders.

• Help members get involved in their care.

• Support doctors and providers whose practices lead to better patient outcomes.

• Utilize and promote community resources to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.

The MCHO plan is a PPO, though, the plan will ask that members select a primary care physician (PCP) which according to Kevin, “PCP assignment is proven to result in better care out-comes.”

The key is to get members involved in their care. It starts with healthier living, and making a connection: what we eat and our daily activity mat-ters. Knowing about medication regi-mens and utilizing “self management” tools to manage chronic illnesses is an essential part of the Care Model, developed by Dr. Ed Wagner (Puget Sound Group Health Cooperative) that has been endorsed by the Cen-ters for Disease Control & Prevention, and embraced by MCHO. Utilizing a method, known as Shared Deci-sion Making, the patient is engaged with the provider team; encouraged to dialog, ask questions about course of treatment and inquire about the trade-offs of medical decisions.

This is different from current prac-

tices. The frequent lack of care coordi-nation and follow-up amidst a further worsening incidence of chronic disease has added cost all around. This has been exacerbated by the prevailing payment system which has rewarded volume instead of the true health out-comes of care. Kevin Lewis, MCHO is on a mission to serve Maine better. When the members have a say in their health plan, he believes Mainers will enjoy better health at a lower cost.

It’s a paradigm shift for the consumer. Don’t know what questions to ask? Won-dering if you really need that diagnostic test? Want to question your doctor’s rec-ommendation? Kevin introduced me to a fabulous website: www.choosewisely.org/doctor-patient-lists/ Choose WiselyR , an initiative of the ABIM Foundation whose aim is to help physicians and patients engage in a conversation to reduce the overuse of tests and procedures, so that patients and physicians can make smart and effective care choices that make sense for them. Utilizing this tool; tapping into community resources already in place, I begin to see that, indeed, a differ-ent approach to health care may move the consumer from being tuned out to turned on.

MCHO has been busy with the development of operations in advance of Oct. 1, 2013, when the health exchange opens. The growing team of dedicated professionals at MCHO has been developing a provider net-work, systems testing, and conduct-ing outreach to all four corners of the state. Today, MCHO has 29 full-time Maine employees, with an antici-pated 12 more being hired in the next few months. MCHO’s strong team of seasoned staff is committed to bring a new alternative to Maine’s health insurance landscape. To learn more go to www.maineoptions.org.

Police: South Portland woman pretended to represent an agency, then stole from the elderly in their homes

A South Portland woman charged with burglary preyed on the elderly in their homes by pretending to repre-sent an agency and then steal-ing money and jewelry from her victims, South Portland Police Sgt. Steve Webster reported.

On Wednesday morning around 10 a.m., Margaret Wilkes, 53, of South Portland, was arrested and charged with three counts of Class B bur-glary and three counts of Class E theft, Webster reported. Wilkes is suspected of vic-timizing elderly residents by entering their residences and purporting to be a representative of “The Agency”

and asking for medical information, or in some cases conducting inspections, he said. Wilkes did not work for any agency, but she stole currency and sentimen-tal jewelry from the victims, he said.

“She’d use whatever ruse she could,” Webster said.“This isn’t a common con because it takes a certain

type of person to walk into someone’s residence or an apartment and do whatever they want in there,” Webster said, calling the crime particularly heinous because of the trusting nature of the victims.

“It just takes away the whole sense of security,” he noted.

Members of the South Portland Police Department Detective Bureau, working collaboratively with investigators from the Portland Police Department, arrested Wilkes on Main Street Wednesday morn-ing. A search warrant was served at her residence, and some of the stolen property was recovered, Web-ster said. There will be more charges forthcoming as she is suspected of committing similar crimes in

jurisdictions other than South Portland, he said. “Speaking about South Portland alone, we charged

her with three burglaries,” representing three vic-tims there, Webster said.

The brazenness of the crimes could be seen in the types of residences she is charged with entering under false pretenses, Webster said.

“A lot of places were supposedly secure facilities,” he said.

A multi-unit apartment complex on Broadway was one example.

“She would worm her way in and walk out with their money and valuables,” Webster said.

Wilkes was being held Wednesday at the Cumber-land County Jail pending the posting of $500 cash bail, as set by a bail commissioner.

Webster said police are still working on recov-ering more of the jewelry, some of which was not monetarily of high value but meant a great deal sentimentally to the victims.

City, coalition to celebrate National Bike to Work Day Friday morning

This Friday in celebration of National Bike to Work Day, the city of Portland with the Bicycle Coalition of Maine will welcome bike commuters riding into work at Monument Square with snacks, drinks and prizes as well as bike tech and safety tips, the city announced.

From 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., cyclists will have the oppor-tunity to meet coalition staff, win prizes like com-muter lights and bike tools and pick up resources on bike safety and commuting tips. For more informa-tion about the events, visit www.bikemaine.org.

In conjunction with Bike to Work Day, the site, walkscore.com released its Bike Scores for more than 100 U.S. cities this week, the city announced. Portland received a score of 62.2, denoting the city as bikeable, city officials stated. The city’s score places Portland 36th on the list, which evaluated a number of factors including bike lanes, hills, road, destinations and road connectivity and opportuni-ties for bike commuting. The score reflects progress the city has made to expand access for bicyclists such as increasing the number of bike lanes, adopt-ing a Complete Streets ordinance for design and construction of streets, as well as the installation of bike racks throughout the city, a press release noted. For information about the Bike Score program, visit http://blog.walkscore.com/category/lists-rankings/.

More than 30 Portland streets are on the list to get pavement upgrades starting this month.

The Portland Department of Public Services released the list of streets that are going to be worked on from May to November as a part of the annual paving program, according to a press release. The city has appropriated $3 million through the capital improvement program to cover the cost of the work.

“Investments in our infrastructure are critical, they improve the safety and quality of life within a neighborhood.” said Mayor Michael Brennan, in a statement. “This year marks the first year of implementation of the city’s pavement management program, which seeks to ensure consistent and nec-essary investments in city streets.”

The streets that will have paving work done include:

• Baxter Boulevard (entire street)• International Parkway (Congress Street to Jet-

port Boulevard)• Jetport Boulevard (International Parkway to

City of Westbrook)• Eastern Promenade (Washington Avenue to

Atlantic Street)• Lambert Street (Auburn Street to Town of Fal-

mouth)• Veranda Street (Washington Avenue to Route 1)• Abby Lane (Curtis Road to Pamela Road)• Alice Street (Crestview Drive to Clapboard Road)• Anson Road (Stevens Avenue to end)• Beacon Street (Revere Street to Woodford Street)• C Street (Valley Street to St. John Street)• Craigie Street (Congress Street to Brighton

(An earlier edition of a story that appeared Wednesday about the U.S. Custom House restoration in Port-land stated that local projects were funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, though the GSA corrected the information released Tuesday and noted the projects were not paid for through ARRA.)

Committee forwards recommendation on USM-area roundabouts to council

A City Council committee on Wednesday endorsed a plan that would add two roundabouts near the intersection of Brighton Avenue, Deering Avenue and Falmouth Street to help ease traffic congestion through the area.

The Transportation Sustainability and Energy Committee endorsed adding a roundabout at the five-leg intersection and another at the junction of Deering and Bedford streets. The project proposal will now head to the full council for review and pre-liminary planning before the intersection improve-ments will begin.

Councilor Cheryl Leeman asked that in its recom-mendation to the council, the committee include the caveat that any plans minimize the taking of private property to install the roundabout. The committee agreed with her request.

Bruce Hyman, the project manager, said it’s tough to tell how much property will need to be taken since the roundabouts are still in the conceptual phase.

A memo to the committee says the design con-cept will discontinue a portion of Brighton Avenue from Falmouth Street to Bedford Street; reduce peak-hour congestion and reduce traffic diversion into the neighborhoods; and increase intersection

safety for all users.Hyman said the roundabout proposal was the

preferred option by the public safety departments, advocates for the visually impaired and the Pedes-trian and Bicycle Safety Committee.

The roundabout proposal is estimated to cost $1.5 million, but it will likely take several years before the project gets started.

The roundabout option was the preferred method to deal with traffic congestion in the area, and was picked for further review over adding traffic signals or simply making no improvements.

•••Later in the meeting, the committee voted to

adjust the tow rates set by the city for private haul-ers. The city uses tow operators for emergency tows during emergencies, accidents, parking bans and city service days, according to a memo.

The recommended rate increase would increase the day/night two from $70 to $84; the dual rear wheel tow from $90 to $105; the snow tow from $70 to $85; the accident tow from $75 to $97; and the re-tow from $25 to $85. Staff recommended increas-ing the hook-up/drop-fee to increase to $40 from $25, but the committee asked that it stay at the lower amount.

The city has not adjusted the tow rates since 2008.

Portland’s Transportation, Sustainability and Energy Committee discussd final recommendations for the Brighton Avenue-Deering Ave-nue-Falmouth Street Intersection Study, including a two-roundabout design as shown above. (COURTESY IMAGE)

CAPE ELIZABETH — Three infra-structure projects in Fort Williams Park, all being completed by Peters Construction, Inc. from Buxton at a low bid cost of $145,000, are expected to be completed by the third week in June, town officials reported.

Currently, the main entry road to the popular park, home to Portland Head Light, is restricted to one lane of traffic with flaggers due to the proj-ects, part of a 2011 master plan.

Peters Construction, Inc. made a

request to start the project earlier than April 1, a change which was approved, so work began in mid-March, allowing an earlier comple-tion date. Access to the park will not be compromised during the ongoing project, but access to the Ship Cove parking lot may be restricted at times, Cape Elizabeth Director of Public Works Robert C. Malley reported at the time the improvements started.

All three projects are being com-pletely funded by revenues generated in the park, Malley reported in a town press release.

The first project will create a cul-de-sac at the north end of the Ship Cove parking lot.; the second will improve Ship Cove through a picnic area slab reha-bilitation; and the third will create pedestrian improvements where the Ship Cove park-ing lot meets the park entrance road.

For details on the work, visit http://www.capeel izabeth.com/news/2013/fw_master-plan_implement.html.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s been said that you can’t fi t a square peg in a round hole, but this depends on what the peg is made of. Some materials are quite malleable. Similarly, you feel willing to adjust to make things work today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People have their own ideas about what’s amusing, and it’s not always easy to get them to loosen up and laugh. But you have an advantage these days: Your brand of humor has universal appeal. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t always follow through with an action just because it makes sense to do so. Some things worth doing are nonsensical, at least on the surface, but you’re compelled by deeper reasoning. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some endeavors are just pointless, but you feel you have to go through with them anyway to get where you want to go. This is not a day to waste time questioning. Do what needs to be done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A cellphone can be an alarm clock, a map, a fl ashlight, a music box, a camera and a thousand other things. Oh, and it can call people. You’ll meet a person who is similarly versatile, and the relationship will serve multiple purposes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be a shoulder to cry on. Listen with an open heart, but don’t advise. Unless you’ve really experienced a similar circumstance, it would be overstepping to assume you know how another person feels. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People should respect your domain, and you shouldn’t have to fi ght to stay in charge of what happens there. Alas, if you have something good going on, there will always be those who want to home in on it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You build an easy rapport with fellow water signs today -- that’s Cancer, Pisces and other Scorpios. Professional and platonic conversations lead to emotional bonds that go deeper. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It makes sense to pursue what you enjoy and

try to get paid for it, too. But getting paid will change your feelings and focus. There are some things that are kept pure by leaving money out of the equation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Except for in cartoons, most hypnotists don’t really use fob watches to put subjects in a trance. Similarly, you don’t need a prop to command attention, because you have the power of your voice and intention. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The good thing about not being “normal” is that it allows you to see how “normal” has been a sham all along. If no one completely fi ts the defi nition, then what is it really defi ning? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your plan will get better when you know more, but don’t spend all of your time gathering information. At some point, you have to jump into the game. Effort and persistence are as important to your success as knowledge. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 16). This is a passionate time. You’ll express yourself in such an engaging way that you’ll earn fans. June shows a domestic decision. Tired of toeing someone else’s line, you’ll start your own venture in July. Profi ts follow an excel-lent plan. Test your ideas out, and enlist the help of experts to get you rocking and rolling. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 9, 22, 28 and 19.

Yesterday’s Answer

DAILY CROSSWORDBY WAYNE ROBERT WILLIAMS

Today is Thursday, May 16, the 136th day of 2013. There are 229 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On May 16, 1943, the nearly month-long

Warsaw Ghetto Uprising came to an end as German forces crushed the Jewish resistance and blew up the Great Synagogue. An estimated 7,000 Jews were killed during the uprising, while about 7,000 others were summarily executed. The remaining Jews, more than 40,000 of them, were deported to concentration camps.

On this date:In 1763, the English lexicographer, author and

wit Samuel Johnson fi rst met his future biogra-pher, James Boswell.

In 1770, Marie Antoinette, age 14, married the future King Louis XVI of France, who was 15.

In 1868, the U.S. Senate failed by one vote to convict President Andrew Johnson as it took its fi rst ballot on the 11 articles of impeachment against him.

In 1913, jazz musician and bandleader Woody Herman was born in Milwaukee.

In 1920, Joan of Arc was canonized by Pope Benedict XV.

In 1929, the fi rst Academy Awards were pre-sented. The movie “Wings” won “best produc-tion,” while Emil Jannings (YAHN’-ings) and Janet Gaynor were named best actor and best actress.

In 1939, the government began its fi rst food stamp program in Rochester, N.Y.

In 1948, CBS News correspondent George Polk, who’d been covering the Greek civil war between communist and nationalist forces, was found slain in Salonika Harbor.

In 1953, Associated Press correspondent William N. Oatis was released by communist authorities in Czechoslovakia, where he’d been imprisoned for two years after being forced to confess to espionage while working as the AP’s Prague bureau chief.

In 1961, Park Chung-hee seized power in South Korea in a military coup.

In 1975, Japanese climber Junko Tabei became the fi rst woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

In 1988, the Supreme Court, in California v. Greenwood, ruled that police can search dis-carded garbage without a search warrant. Sur-geon General C. Everett Koop released a report declaring nicotine was addictive in ways similar to heroin and cocaine.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush launched his re-election campaign. The Senate committed $15 billion to fi ght global AIDS. In Casablanca, Morocco, fi ve simultaneous suicide attacks claimed the lives of 33 victims, in addition to a dozen suicide bombers.

Five years ago: President George W. Bush visited Saudi Arabia, where he failed to win help from Saudi leaders to relieve skyrocketing Ameri-can gas prices. Osama bin Laden said in an audio statement that al-Qaida would continue its holy war against Israel and its allies until the liberation of Palestine. Robert Mondavi, the patriarch of Cal-ifornia wine country, died in Yountville at age 94.

One year ago: Gen. Ratko Mladic went on trial at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in the Neth-erlands, accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Help Wanted

Prickly City by Scott Stantis

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have an 8-month-old puppy, and I take her to a local dog park so she can run off leash and play with the other dogs, which she loves. In the three months I have been taking her, “Phoebe” has never been attacked or fought with another dog. That was until last night, when Phoebe ap-proached another dog that was on a leash and that dog at-tacked her. My puppy whimpered and howled while being bitten on her neck and back. I tried to get her away, but the other dog was so vicious. The owner of the other dog just stood there making no ef-fort to pull his dog away, nor did he apologize. I fi nally ex-tracted Phoebe from the other dog’s mouth. As I was walking away, the owner said he doesn’t know why his dog doesn’t like other dogs. I was too shaken to reply. Besides, I felt sorry for the vicious dog, wondering what could have happened to make him like that. Luckily, Phoebe was not severely injured. I did my best to soothe her, but it took several minutes to calm her down. Be-fore I left the park, I warned other owners about the dog that attacked mine. Why would someone bring a dog that hates other dogs to a dog park? There is a gentleman who arranged for the park to exist and is the “leader.” Should I tell him what happened? I don’t want to get the park shut down, which is why I didn’t call the police. What do I do? -- Phoebe’s Human Mom Dear Mom: If the park has a “leader,” then he is the person to notify. This owner seems ignorant of dog behavior and may have been trying to “socialize” his dog by bringing the animal to a pet-friendly park. But it sounds as if that dog needs train-ing. It would be a kindness for someone to point that out to him and make a referral before an animal is seriously hurt. Dear Annie: As an alcoholic in recovery, it was interesting

to me to observe the self-righteousness in my family about my addiction as they went through their heart surgeries stem-ming from their addictions to chocolate cake, bacon and cher-ry pies. They are just as addicted to food as I am to alcohol. They say it’s “different,” but how is it more legitimate to grab a doughnut when under stress than to pour myself a cocktail? In spite of their heart surgeries and the struggle of carrying 300 pounds on a body designed for 150, they some-how see slamming down a cherry cobbler as acceptable, but my having a beer is a sin. Moderation in all aspects of our lives might not be a bad idea. -- No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky. Dear Paducah: Addictions, regardless of type, involve the inability to control one’s appetite, whether it be for food, drugs, liquor, gambling, whatever. Unlike most other addic-tions, however, one cannot give up food altogether. So while we agree that there is hypocrisy, and of course moderation is best, there is in fact a difference between food, which is nec-essary for life, and alcohol, which is not. Imagine how much harder it would be to control your addiction if you were told that you absolutely must have three shots a day, but not a fourth. Or a beer. Or a replacement from the well-stocked pantry. Not an excuse, mind you. Just an observation. Dear Annie: I agree with “Retired Teacher” about high school guidance counselors. She is right on the money. Guidance counselors are not in schools to assist students with personal problems. That isn’t even in their job descrip-tion. Their primary function is to advise students about the courses they need to graduate. After that, a multitude of assessment responsibilities fi ll their time. While many may wish they could counsel to the emotional well-being of their students, they simply don’t have the time. -- K.

Kevin Sheehan at the Portland Public Librarynoon to 1 p.m. Kevin Sheehan speaks about his book “The Aberration” at the Friday Local Author Series, Friday, May 17 from noon to 1 p.m., Meeting Room No. 5, Port-land Public Library. “‘The Aberration’ is a disturbing story that chronicles the near dissolution of Karcher and Witte’s young marriage by an unethical female psychiatrist in Port-land who seduces Karcher through hypnotherapy. Emotion-ally crippled by alcoholic parents, a parade of nannies who doubled as his mother’s lovers, and the suicide of his mas-culine mother, Karcher is an easy mark. Within weeks, the doctor has him hooked and so confused, he believes his wife is the one who controls him. But there is always hope. The book is buoyed by narrator Karcher’s unsteady prog-ress toward reconciliation — with his deceased mother, his wife and himself — and by the firm grounding provided him by his centered wife and her Maine parents.”

SPACE Gallery, 538 Congress St., Port-land. $8, $6 for SPACE members and students w/ ID. “A groundbreaking, immersive portrait of the contemporary commercial fishing industry, ‘Leviathan’ was filmed off the

coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts — at one time the whaling capital of the world as well as Melville’s inspiration for Moby Dick. Today New Bedford is the country’s larg-est fishing port with over 500 ships sailing from its harbor every month. ‘Leviathan’ follows one such vessel, a hulking groundfish trawler, into the surrounding murky black waters on a weeks-long fishing expedition. But instead of romanti-cizing the labor or partaking in the longstanding tradition of turning fisherfolk into images, filmmakers Lucien Castiang-Taylor (Sweetgrass) and Verena Paravel (Foreign Parts) present a vivid, almost-kaleidoscopic representation of the work, the sea, the machinery and the players, both human and marine.” http://www.space538.org/events/leviathan
