SAYWHAT...Ads are the cave art of the 20th

century.”—Marshall McLuhan

(NY Times) — After Sunday worship in recent months, Mormon bishops around the country gathered their congre-gations for an unusual Pow-erPoint presentation to unveil the church’s latest strategy for overcoming what it calls its “perception problem.”

Top Mormon leaders had hired two big-name advertis-ing agencies in 2009 to fi nd out what Americans think of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Using focus groups and surveys, they found that Americans who had any opinion at all used adjectives that were downright negative: “secre-tive,” “cultish,” “sexist,” “con-trolling,” “pushy,” “anti-gay.”

On seeing these results, some of those watching the presentation booed while others laughed, according to people at the meetings. But then they were told that the church was ready with a response: a multimillion-dollar television, billboard and Internet advertising campaign that uses the tag-line, “I’m a Mormon.” The campaign, which began last year but was recently extended to 21 media mar-kets, features the personal stories of members who defy stereotyping, includ-ing a Hawaiian longboard surfi ng champion, a fashion designer and single father in New York City and a Haitian-American woman who is mayor of a small Utah city.

FRANKFURT (NY Times) — The fi nancial sta-bility of Europe has come down to one institution, the European Central Bank, which is now under heavy new pressure to rescue the euro — or pos-sibly see it collapse. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Spain’s prime minister, on Thursday became the latest leader to demand that the bank fi nd a solu-tion to the euro crisis, saying that “this is what we transferred power for” and that it had to be a bank “that defends the common policy and its countries.”

Zapatero made his unusually blunt statements on a day when markets sagged further and conta-gion continued its seemingly inexorable spread from the small economies on Europe’s periphery to Italy, Spain and even France at the core. Spain was forced Thursday to pay nearly 7 percent on an issue of 10-year debt, the highest since 1997, while investors demanded the largest premium for buying French as opposed to German debt in the decade-long his-tory of the euro.

European rift on bank’s role in debt relief

CAIRO (NY Times) — Tens of thousands of Islamists jammed Tahrir Square on Friday in the most signifi cant challenge yet to the authority of Egypt’s military council that seized power nine months ago with the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.

The demonstration ended an uneasy truce between Egypt’s Islamists and its military, which had prevailed since Mubarak’s exit. The truce reached a break-

ing point after the military coun-cil spelled out for the fi rst time its intention to claim a decisive role in Egyptian politics far into the future, even after parlia-mentary elections scheduled to begin later this month or a fi nal handover of power to constitu-tional authorities some time in 2013 or beyond.

It begins a faceoff between Egypt’s two most powerful institutions, its army and the once-outlawed Muslim Broth-

erhood, that left Egyptian lib-erals anxious and divided on the sidelines.

“Each side is drawing lines in the sand over its future role in the political process,” said Emad Shahin, an Egyptian scholar at Notre Dame who was in Tahrir Square on Friday. “The military forces would like to secure an exit from the tran-sitional period with some kind of assurances of its future role in the political scene,” he said.

Egyptian Islamists rally to protest military rule

Obama’s trip sends message to Asian leaders

BALI, Indonesia (NY Times) — President Obama discussed maritime security, nuclear non-proliferation and disaster aid at an Asian summit on Friday, but just his presence on this resort island telegraphed his main mes-sage: that the United States is turning its focus to the booming Asia-Pacifi c region after a decade of preoccupation with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Calling the region critical to economic growth and national security, Obama said, “I want everyone to know from the outset, my administration is committed to strengthening our ties with each country individu-ally but also with the region’s institutions.”

The American focus on Asia has been raising tensions with an ever more powerful China, which has been increasingly assertive in the region. On Friday, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao pushed back again, saying at the summit meeting that “outside forces should not, under any pretext” interfere in a regional fi ght over the control of the South China Sea.

THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 19, 2011—

Shades of 1987 in OccupyMaine protests

On July 2, 1987, a few dozen people launched a protest on the steps of City Hall that forever changed how Port-land treated its homeless.

In those days, Preble Street Resource Center was a much smaller operation, and the low-barrier shelters like Flor-ence House and Oxford Street didn’t exist. Citywide there were more than 250 shelter beds available, but fees and other restrictions at some facili-ties kept many unoccupied (according to a news report, it cost up to $93 per week to stay at one shelter).

The city’s offi cial policy, as articu-lated by then-City Manager Bob Ganley, was that taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent on a permanent homeless shelter.

The protest began after the only free shelter in Portland shut down. Karen Evans and other organizers coordi-nated the protest around the July 4 holiday weekend, when thousands of tourists were expected in town. The group’s goals were straightforward: they wanted a year-round emergency shelter and more affordable housing.

By July 7, there were more than 100 protesters living outside City Hall. Press reports from that time described clothes hanging between tents, which were pitched all around City Hall. Rufus Deering Co. supplied plastic sheets for protesters to sleep on, while Shop and Save, now Han-naford, donated food, according to published reports.

On July 7, fi ve days after the pro-test began, Ganley convinced protest-ers to move from City Hall to nearby Lincoln Park. For the next 17 days, more than 100 people slept overnight in what organizers and the media deemed “Tent City.”

Nearly 24 years later, Lincoln Park is home to another tent city, this time populated by protesters from Occu-pyMaine, the anti-corporate protest movement affi liated with Occupy Wall Street.

Over the past six weeks, Occupy-Maine’s fl uctuating membership has protested by day and spent nights in the park. Its facilities have a lending library, a media team and a commu-nal kitchen space. The group is trying to raise attention to income inequality and fi nancial corruption, among other things.

Evans, who founded Wayside Soup Kitchen and later worked as a mental health advocate, admits the two

movements aren’t completely dissimi-lar. She noted that Tent City residents ate meals together at Preble Street and, like OccupyMaine, set up a housekeep-ing system to keep the park clean.

And while the groups articulated different goals, both

had activist members and homeless members. By camping out at night and demonstrating during the day, the groups also used similar tactics to get their respective messages across.

Tent City bears at least one more connection to today’s protest. In deter-mining how to respond to the Occupy movement, city offi cials have looked back at how the city responded to the Tent City movement in 1987.

Then, as now, the city maintained a dialogue with protesters and required basic safety and sanitation standards. They also required that protesters not block access to the park, among other things, but took steps to avoid con-frontation.

The 1987 protests “have been rel-evant to us internally,” city spokesper-son Nicole Clegg said this week. “The takeaway lesson we discussed inter-nally was that they didn’t take an aggressive approach with the protest-ers like we have seen in other com-munities dealing with the ‘Occupy’ protests.’”

That’s not to say the Occupy move-ment is a carbon copy of the 1987 cam-paign.

John Branson, an attorney provid-ing legal aid to OccupyMaine, said he was “tangentially” aware of the 1987 homeless protests, but says there is a key difference between the two movements. Protesters in 1987, he said, were focused more on the symptoms of inequality, whereas the Occupy movement was trying to draw attention to the source of the problem.

“This is certainly a different kind of movement,” he said this week. “Even if not by design but by effect, this movement is highlighting the plight of the dispossessed, because many in the Occupy movement are at the bottom rung of society, they are people who have been tossed to the curb and been left totally out of whatever wealth is being shared by the richest Americans.”

He added, “There are some paral-lels, but many differences.”

Mayor-elect Michael Brennan, who worked for United Way during the

1987 protests and sat in on several meetings between Ganley and the protesters, more or less echoed Bran-son’s point.

“The difference is that Tent City was singularly focused on homeless-ness issues, and OccupyMaine has a broader political agenda,” he said this week. “The other side of it is that it was easier for the city and the com-munity to respond to homelessness — we can do x, y, and z — but the situ-ation with OccupyMaine is obviously more open ended.”

Brennan continued, “The issues as they have been identifi ed at this point (by OccupyMaine), the city has far less ability to infl uence.”

The Tent City protests in 1987 came to a head in late July.

The two-week deadline for protest-ers to leave the park came and went without a resolution, despite ongoing negotiations. Ganley and other city offi cials offered a series of concessions

short of opening a shelter that pro-testers did not accept.

(Another parallel with today: News coverage of the time suggested that the protesters, who spoke of wanting to improve their social status, could fi nd work if they wanted it. Some, including Ganley, also suggested that some homeless people made a choice to live on the street, sentiments that are echoed today).

Protesters continued to camp in the park beyond the 14 days approved by the city. Meanwhile, nationally known anti-homeless advocate Mitch Snyder fl ew to Portland from Washington, D.C. to aid protesters. Finally, on July 23, 1987, the city agreed to launch a free shelter, which opened on Wilmot Street two months later.

The protest also led to the Emer-gency Shelter Assessment Commit-tee, a joint effort between United Way

After months of searching, I fi nally found the old “free scale” at the public library.

Of course, I knew I had packed on the pounds over the last year, the last decade, and the last quarter of a century. Back in high school, I tipped the scales at a whopping 260 pounds of righ-teous indignation. A year later, when I signed up to go in the U.S. Army, I had managed to get that total under 200.

Of course, that took a year of working 60-hour weeks while trying to attend USM, at the same time dealing with a six-month pharmaceutical binge that would make Keith Richards blush. When fi lling out the paper-work at the recruiting station, the sergeant asked me, just out of curiosity and not for the record, when the last time I used drugs was.

“What time is it?”After getting the correct

answers all straigtened out, a little under a year later I found myself back here in Portland, at a peak physical condiditon and a weight of 165 pounds. Not too shabby.

Tuesday, I stepped on the scale for the fi rst time this year.

264

The weighting game

(Editorial note: The paragraph right after that number was unprintable, mostly consisting of language colorful and heated enough to blister paint. It has been removed for your protec-tion.)

This will not stand, or even lounge gracefully Jabba The Hutt style. Since the national obses-sion with health gets folks hit-ting the diet plans right after the holidays, I fi gured the extra fl ab-biness needed a good six-week head start. That big Thanksgiv-ing meal next week? Forget it.

Wednesday night, I took the “Tape Test,” a series of body mea-surements balanced against your sex, height, weight to give you an accurate picture of your body fat percentage. I came in, by Army standards, at 32.8 percent. The Marine standard was a bit more generous to me, (26.71 percent) but that got me to my favorite game, jiggling with numbers.

If I’m at 32.8 percent body fat, that comes in at 86 and a half pounds of fat. The average body my height has a skin weight of 24 pounds, but being fl abby tends to make that number larger. Lets say 28 pounds of skin.

The skeleton weighs in at roughly 30-40 percent of body weight, so there is another 92.4 pounds if you split that fi gure down the middle at 35 percent, using the old “big boned” excuse.

Tossing in averages or the rest of the major body organs is trou-blesome. I’m willing to bet the brain comes in underweight, or even “Abby Normal”, but the liver, being a drunkard, has GOT to come in at least 30 percent over average size, as well as the kid-neys. All that beer requires space.

That covers another 14 pounds.What’s left is 43 pounds of raw

muscle that hauls me around every day, keeps me upright even when imbibing beverages, and generally is responsible for all the work that has to get done.

Face it, taking the fat load off all that muscle mass must be about as danderous as giving a monkey a grenade. By losing a lot of weight all over again, I should

By next Wednesday, the so-called supercommit-tee, a bipartisan group of legislators, is supposed to reach an agreement on how to reduce future defi -cits. Barring an evil miracle — I’ll explain the evil part later — the committee will fail to meet that deadline.

Mainly because the gulf between our two major politi-cal parties is so wide. Republi-cans and Democrats don’t just have different priorities; they live in different intellectual and moral universes.

In Democrat-world, up is up and down is down. Rais-ing taxes increases revenue, and cutting spending while the economy is still depressed reduces employment. But in Republican-world, down is up. The way to increase revenue is to cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, and slashing government spend-ing is a job-creation strategy. Try getting a lead-ing Republican to admit that the Bush tax cuts increased the defi cit or that sharp cuts in govern-ment spending (except on the military) would hurt the economic recovery.

Moreover, the parties have sharply different views of what constitutes economic justice.

There was a great book on this subject lent to me by the editor, by Sam MacDonald titled, “The Urban Hermit.” Sam tipped the scales at 340, but through changing his diet drasti-cally to pay off debts to the IRS (all he ate was lentils and tuna fi sh for over a year) he managed to lose about 180 pounds.

Not getting too deep into it, but I’ll be trying to make some changes, too. Last year, at work we had one of those “Biggest Loser” competitions where we all chucked in $20, winner take all. I gained 5 pounds. This will give you an indication of my lack of willpower.

Then again, I rarely do anything half way. It’s Gonzo style, all or noth-ing, no prisoners taken and no quarter given.

This will probably make my buddy Art over at Simpsano Meat Company cry. (His motto on his card. “It’s Not People”) I’m sure he will try and tempt me with forbidden smoked bacons, but I’ll have to resist.

Surely the gravy level in my blood will decline just by taking it easy for a few weeks. For the next couple of months, I’ll be ending this column with a couple of numbers in paren-thesis for those of you out there in the world of wagering. My weight at the start of this mess, and the amount lost to date.

HIGGINS from page 4

Last year, at work we had one of those ‘Biggest Loser’ competitions

Democrats see social insurance programs, from Social Security to food stamps, as serving the moral imperative of providing basic secu-rity to our fellow citizens and helping those in need.

Republicans have a totally differ-ent view. They may soft-pedal that view in public — in last year’s elec-tions, they even managed to pose as defenders of Medicare — but, in pri-vate, they view the welfare state as immoral, a matter of forcing citizens at gunpoint to hand their money over to other people. By creating Social Security, declared Rick Perry in his book “Fed Up!”, F.D.R. was “violently tossing aside any respect for our founding principles.” Does anyone doubt that he was speaking for many in his party?

So the supercommittee brought together legislators who disagree completely both about how the world works and about the proper role of government. Why did anyone think this would work?

Well, maybe the idea was that the parties would compromise out of fear that there would be a political price for seeming intransigent. But this could only happen if the news media were willing to point out who is really refusing to compromise. And they aren’t. If and when the supercommit-tee fails, virtually all news reports will be he-said, she-said, quoting Democrats who blame Republicans and vice versa without ever explain-ing the truth.

Oh, and let me give a special shout-out to “centrist” pundits who won’t admit that President Obama has already given them what they want. The dialogue seems to go like this. Pundit: “Why won’t the president come out for a mix of spending cuts and tax hikes?” Mr. Obama: “I sup-port a mix of spending cuts and tax hikes.” Pundit: “Why won’t the presi-dent come out for a mix of spending

cuts and tax hikes?”You see, admitting that one side is

willing to make concessions, while the other isn’t, would tarnish one’s centrist credentials. And the result is that the G.O.P. pays no price for refusing to give an inch.

So the supercommittee will fail — and that’s good.

For one thing, history tells us that the Republican Party would renege on its side of any deal as soon as it got the chance. Remember, the U.S. fi scal outlook was pretty good in 2000, but, as soon as Republicans gained control of the White House, they squandered the surplus on tax cuts and unfunded wars. So any deal reached now would, in practice, be nothing more than a deal to slash Social Security and Medicare, with no lasting improve-ment in the defi cit.

Also, any deal reached now would almost surely end up worsening the economic slump. Slashing spend-ing while the economy is depressed destroys jobs, and it’s probably even counterproductive in terms of defi -cit reduction, since it leads to lower revenue both now and in the future. And current projections, like those of the Federal Reserve, suggest that the economy will remain depressed at least through 2014. Better to have no deal than a deal that imposes spend-ing cuts in the next few years.

But don’t we eventually have to match spending and revenue? Yes, we do. But the decision about how to do that isn’t about accounting. It’s about fundamental values — and it’s a decision that should be made by voters, not by some com-mittee that allegedly transcends the partisan divide.

Eventually, one side or the other of that divide will get the kind of popu-lar mandate it needs to resolve our long-run budget issues. Until then, attempts to strike a Grand Bargain are fundamentally destructive. If the supercommittee fails, as expected, it will be time to celebrate.

Three charged in OccupyMaine camp incidentsBY CASEY CONLEY AND MARGE NIBLOCK

THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Portland police have banned three members of OccupyMaine from the group’s encampment in Lin-coln Park following several disturbances this week, including an alleged hammer attack yesterday morning.

Police charged two people in con-nection with the incidents, and issued a summons to a third man.

Offi cers were called to Lincoln Park around 7:10 a.m. Friday after a dispute that apparently began after one member, Alan Porter, 45, of Portland, started playing the drums earlier than some members found acceptable.

Police say Danny Arnold, 34, began choking Porter, while another OccupyMaine member Christopher Schisler, 34, is accused of hitting Porter in the head with a hammer.

Porter, who was bleeding when authorities arrived, was treated at Maine Medical Center for a head wound.

Schisler, who has no permanent address, was

found at the Portland Public Library at about 10:20 a.m. Friday and charged with aggravated assault. Arnold was summonsed for allegedly choking Porter.

Stephen Soldan, who witnessed the incident, said many OccupyMaine members stayed up late Thurs-day night and were not happy about being woken up by the drums.

“He got 30 people up and angry” because of the drum playing, Soldan said, adding that he too was woken up by the drums.

Solden added that a drum was thrown at Schisler’s head before he picked up his hammer.

Schisler has been arrested this year on two occa-sions for domestic violence assault. Schisler report-edly suffers from post traumatic stress disorder after serving in Iraq, said one person with OccupyMaine.

Meanwhile, police charged another OccupyMaine member with disorderly conduct late Thursday after a physical altercation involving a heckler.

Police said the victim entered the park to “voice opposition to the group” when Jason Carr, 25, with no fi xed address, became confrontational. Offi cers responded to a reported fi ght in progress and found Carr “pushing and hitting a man who was trying to walk away.”

Carr, who was “highly intoxicated” at the time, was being held back by fellow OccupyMaine mem-bers but continued to pursue the victim, police said. He was ultimately arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. The victim declined to press charges related to the alleged assault.

In a statement, OccupyMaine members distanced themselves from members charged in Friday’s inci-dent.

“OccupyMaine condemns the violence that occurred in Lincoln Park on the morning of November 18th, which endangered our community and is sharply in violation of our principles,” the statement read.

“The moment that violence erupted, the individ-uals involved were no longer acting in alignment with OccupyMaine principles and simultaneously removed themselves from our community,” it con-tinued.

An employee at Cumberland County Jail said Carr was sentenced in connection with the disor-derly conduct charge to 24 hours in jail and was due to be released yesterday night.

Schisler was being held without bail on a pro-bation violation and $10,000 cash on the assault charge.

City losing patience with OccupyMaine, seeks Monday meeting

City offi cials have asked leaders of the anti-Wall Street group OccupyMaine for a meeting Monday afternoon to discuss code violations in the group’s Lin-coln Park encampment and an apparent assault that happened yesterday morning.

In a strongly worded letter to John Branson, an attorney representing OccupyMaine, City Attorney Gary Wood listed the code violations found Thursday morning by city inspectors — many of which the city considers dangerous.

The meeting could signal the beginning of the end for OccupyMaine’s camp in Lincoln Park, a site that’s been an increasing headache for police over the past six weeks.

“The code violations ... and the increasing demand on city services of the Portland Police Department are stretching the ability and willingness of the city to continue to accommodate and allow your clients’ occu-pancy in the park,” Wood wrote.

Attempts to reach Branson yesterday after business hours were not successful.

City offi cials have said since the OccupyMaine camp was established in late September that the residents must not violate city ordinances or damage the park. The city also wants any structures in the park to meet fi re codes.

The letter was released a day after city offi cials inspected the camp for code violations and other safety or sanitation issues. Although no “major” issues were found in the park, the city did see evidence of several violations, including open burning, smoking in tents

and heaters being used in tents.“Based on the walk-through … the conditions

that currently exist in the park expose the residents of the park to a very serious risk of injury,” Wood wrote. “I urge you to share this list immediately with your client so that they can begin to address these serious life/safety issues.”

The apparent rise in criminal activity in the park, including an alleged hammer assault Friday morning, is another source of concern for city offi cials. The city included in its communication to Branson six criminal incidents reported in the park, most of which featured “highly intoxicated” persons.

The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday in City Manager Mark Rees’ offi ce. Acting Police Chief Mike Sauschuck and several other city offi cials are also expected to attend.

and the city that still exists today as an advisory board focusied on homeless issues.

In December 1989, Oxford Street Men’s Shelter opened a 50-bed facility, making it the largest shel-

ter in Maine. The shelter now has more than 100 beds and routinely fi lls up.

Not long after the Tent City protest, Evans opened a shelter for teenagers, which was taken shortly afterward by the Salvation Army. The facility was a precursor to Lighthouse Teen Shelter, which is now operated by Preble Street.

Mark Swann, current director of Preble Street, said the 1987 protest had a lasting impact in Port-land.

“It did a lot of good things, and got a lot of things started,” he said.

It’s too soon to know whether the Occupy move-ment will be as successful.

Police make arrest in Farmington murder

A 27-year-old Massachusetts man was charged with slaying of an elderly Farmington woman in June, police said.

Juan Contreras was arrested in his hometown of Waltham, Mass., Thursday and was expected to make his fi rst court appear-ance Friday. Police accuse him of murder-ing 81-year-old Grave Burton of Farmington at her home on June 21.

Burton died from stab wounds. Her body was found inside her Farming-ton apartment located about 70 miles north of Portland.

State police believe Contreras was living in Farmington at the time of Burton's death, said Steve McCaus-land, a state police spokesman.

Investigators arrested Contreras based on DNA analysis, McCausland said.

Restaurant has brick thrown through its window, cash from register stolen

Police are investigating a bur-glary at a Congress Street Japanese restaurant after someone threw a brick through a glass door and stole money from the cash register.

The incident occurred overnight at the King of the Roll located at 675 Congress St. The damage was dis-covered by an offi cer on patrol Friday morning, said Lt. Gary Rogers, a police spokesman.

“Someone threw a cobblestone brick through a glass door,” he said. “They forced open the cash register and got a small amount of cash.”

Rogers said the thief also made off with a 19-inch fl at-screen TV.

The area of Congress Street is known for heavy foot traffi c, and Rogers said it’s uncommon for com-mercial burglaries in that area of Portland.

Damage to the front window was estimated at about $500.

The incident comes about two days after police responded to several burglary calls in the Old Port.

Two businesses were burglar-ized — including one where a thief cut through the wall of a business to enter an adjacent cafe — and a

third had its doors damaged in an attempted burglary.

New cafeteria signs teach students about nutrition

Colorful, new posters and ban-ners in Portland’s public elementary school cafeterias are teaching stu-

dents about how to choose foods that make a healthy, balanced diet, Port-land Public Schools reported.

The signs, purchased with funds from a federal obesity prevention grant, contain nutrition advice from the newly released U.S. Department of Agriculture MyPlate guidelines that remind children to eat health-fully, the school district stated.

AG says Portland offi cer was justifi ed in using deadly force

Maine's attorney general concluded that a Port-land police offi cer was justifi ed in using deadly force when he shot at a fl eeing suspect in April.

A report issued Friday afternoon determined it was reasonable for Offi cer Robert Miller to fi re at a Veazie man, Jonathan Mitchell, as he sped away in a vehicle in an attempt to elude capture.

Jonathan Mitchell was seriously wounded after being shot in his neck and back. He was being chased by police after his estranged wife called 911 and reported that he had broken into her home.

Mitchell survived the shooting and was sentenced to 18 months behind bars in April for criminal charges as result of the April 4 incident.

The attorney general's report detailed how Mitch-

ell led police in a vehicle pursuit in speeds of excess of 70 mph, and that when Offi cer Robert Miller was able to open the car door and grab onto Mitchell's clothing, the suspect hit the accelerator and "that the rear of the (vehicle) fi shtailed to the left and … resulted in both offi cers having to move quickly away from the vehicle," reads the report.

"It was reasonable for Offi cer Miller to believe that deadly force was imminently threatened against him," the report continues.

The report by Attorney General William Sch-neider's offi ce indicated that his offi ce is not charged with "an analysis of potential civil liability (or) whether any administrative action is warranted."

Portland Police Department Acting Chief Michael Sauschuck said at a news conference Friday that he "fully expected this to be the outcome."

Sauschuck acknowledged that Mitchell's attorney

fi led a notice of claim with intent to fi le a civil law-suit within the two-year statute of limitation.

Despite the pending litigation, the top commander said the attorney general's report conformed with what the department has been asserting ever since the shooting — the offi cer was justifi ed.

"I am very comfortable with our stance on this," said Sauschuck, referring to the pending civil suit.

Mitchell's attorney, Michael Turndorf, said fol-lowing the release of the report that he, too, fully expected this to be the outcome.

"I saw the writing on the wall even before the deci-sion came out," Turndof said.

"This comes as no surprise and we fully plan to go forward," Turndorf continued. "Whether the police department thinks they're right or wrong, and the same being true for us, won't really matter because in the end a jury will decide."

(NY TIMES) — The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that proponents of Proposition 8 — which banned same-sex marriage in Cali-fornia — have legal standing to chal-lenge the decision by a lower court judge overturning the ban, after the state’s governor and attorney general refused to defend the proposition.

The ruling came as an advisory decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which had asked for guidance on how to

proceed in the case after Gov. Jerry Brown and the state attorney general declined to defend the constitutional-ity of the proposition.

The decision means that the case, Perry v. Brown, is now moving from a legal detour — the question of who has the right under California law to appear in court on behalf of a propo-sition under legal challenge — to the issue of merits: does a legal ban on same-sex marriage violate constitu-tional rights?

Lawyers on each side proclaimed victory within hours after the decision was released.

“We are delighted,” said Andrew Pugno, general counsel for Protect-Marriage.com, the offi cial proponent of the proposition, in an interview. “This is an enormous boost for Propo-sition 8, and for the integrity of the initiative process itself.”

Theodore B. Olson and David Boies, the two lawyers who had led the effort to overturn Proposition 8 for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, said they were confi dent that the federal appeals court — and ulti-mately the United States Supreme Court — would uphold the lower court decision nullifying the proposition.

“This frees up the Ninth Circuit to go ahead and decide the constitu-tional questions on the merits,” Mr. Olson said, “the due process and equal protection rights of gay and lesbian

citizens in California to get married in California like all other citizens of California.”

Proposition 8, passed narrowly by voters in November 2008, created an amendment to the state Constitution declaring that the state would recog-nize marriages only between a man and a woman.

The vote came after the California Supreme Court had ruled that same-sex couples were allowed to marry under California law.

Last August, Vaughn R. Walker, at the time the chief judge of United States District Court for the Northern District of California, ruled that the proposition violated the equal protec-tion and due process rights of gay and lesbian couples in California.

The issue before the California Supreme Court was procedural and did not go to the civil rights ques-tions posed in the case: Did the plain-

tiffs have the right to participate in the case after Mr. Brown and the state attorney general refused?

In its decision, the court, using language that limited the deci-sion largely to the cir-cumstance of this case, ruled that barring the backers of the propo-sition from appearing in support of it would deprive the majority of voters on the issue of a fair day in court.

“It would clearly constitute an abuse of discretion for a court to deny the offi cial pro-ponents of an initiative the opportunity to par-ticipate as formal par-ties in the proceeding,” the court said, “either as interveners or as real parties in interest, in order to assert the people’s and hence the state’s interest in the validity of the measure and to appeal a judg-ment invalidating the measure.”

South Portland looks to cut power to 184 street lights to trim budget

South Portland councilors are expected to vote Monday in favor of trimming more than $22,000 annu-ally from the city’s budget by shut-ting off power to nearly 200 street lights, offi cials said.

The recommendation to the coun-cil came from a 13-member commit-tee during a Nov. 14 workshop. The plan is to eliminate 184 street lights owned by Central Maine Power as part of the second phase of the city’s Street Light Reduction Program.

“Certainly cost is a driving force,” said Rosemarie De Angelis, the city’s outgoing mayor and the council’s rep-resentative on the Street Light Com-mittee.

South Portland budgeted $333,000

for 1,933 street lights for the current fi scal year.

De Angelis explained that the deci-sion to cut power to a number of street lights, including the removal of 107 during the project’s fi rst phase, is largely twofold.

The city wants to reduce light pol-lution and conserve energy, but more importantly it wants to curb costs — especially in the wake of CMP’s rising “unit” rates.

“One of the things that we’re always dealing with is that CMP’s electric rates go up every year,” she said. “We’re always up against how do we deal with the increase in our budget.”

South Portland, like many other municipalities including Portland, pay a fee to CMP to operate — on top of the electric bill — the city’s street

lights. CMP is responsible for main-taining the lights.

“We pay a fee, I call it a rent, that is for electricity and for the poles, guide wires, and the light fi xtures that come off the pole,” De Angelis said.

Distribution rates are negotiated with and approved by the state’s Public Utilities Commission, said John Carroll, a CMP spokesman. He explained that rates are evaluated annually, and that it is possible for rates to either increase or decrease in a given year.

Rates are largely determined by infl ation, but a number of other fac-tors such as costs for repairs fol-lowing storms are factored into an annual review, for example.

“The rates are adjusted each July 1 based on a formula that’s been estab-lished,” Carroll said. “The rates that

people pay for street lights vary just as much as the rates that people pay for electricity.”

Carroll said that data show that rates have fl uctuated both up and down in recent years, and that over-all rates are lower than they were several years ago, he said.

The city of Portland budgets about $1.2 million annually to maintain its 6,070 lights operated by CMP, according to city spokeswoman Nicole Clegg.

South Portland residents fi led 179 appeals for 77 street lights for dis-mantling lights located in Loveitt’s Field, Meeting House Hill, Pleasant-dale and Standwood Park neighbor-hoods.

Public comment will be heard during Monday’s council meeting slated for 7 p.m.

Make-A-Wish child to light tree

To kick off the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s holiday campaign Season of Wishes, 11-year-old wish child Hannah Storey of Cumberland has a special duty.

At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 25, Hannah will magi-cally light the Monument Square Christmas tree at Portland Downtown District’s annual celebration, Make-A-Wish announced. “Hannah and her family are excited for the opportunity to meet Santa, Rick Charette and the Bubblegum band,” the foundation reported.

“Hannah is absolutely thrilled to be able to light the Christmas tree in Monument Square,” said her mom, Misty. “She has told everyone she knows and she just can’t wait! I am so thankful for everyone that has made her wish possible and all the ‘extras’ that have come with it. Make-A-Wish doesn’t just grant a wish and say ‘have fun’. They have taken the time to get Hannah involved in other activities and have really cared about her thoughts and feel-ings on what is going on. This entire experience is something that she will remember forever and will still be talking about in years to come!”

Hannah was 2 days old when she was diagnosed with cystic fi brosis. Since then, she has lived with daily chest therapy and nebulizer treatments, along with multiple pills taken every time she eats. On a good day Hannah takes no fewer than 21 pills.

In January, Hannah and her family will travel to Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas for her wish.

The death of a family member may bring a bar-rage of sadness, a bequest of property — and a mortgage to repay.

“It’s like getting a gift with a string,” said Judith D. Grimaldi, a principal of Grimaldi & Yeung, an estate planning law firm in Brooklyn. Thirty-one percent of people 65 and older, in fact, have home mortgages, according to the Census Bureau.

“Most of my clients just end up selling the house,” Ms. Grimaldi said, “taking the proceeds and saying, ‘Thank you, Mom.’ ”

But if the beneficiary wants to keep the home, just who is responsible for paying the mortgage until the estate is settled can fall into something of a “gray area,” said Deirdre R. Wheatley-Liss, a tax lawyer at Fein, Such, Kahn & Shepard in Parsippany, N.J.

Under federal law, the mortgage must be allowed to remain in effect without changes when it passes from one person to another because of a death. This negates any due-on-sale clause in the mortgage.

Who pays generally depends on the deceased relative’s will, and also who among the survivors has the ability to maintain the mortgage, the experts say.

The will might stipulate, for example, that the heir receive the home, free and clear, Ms. Wheat-ley-Liss said, which may mean that the execu-tor will be directed to sell stocks, bonds or other assets in the estate to pay off the mortgage. (If there is no will, state law will come into play.)

The survivors, meanwhile, should look at the inheritance of property from a practical, economic perspective. “You need to look very strongly at whether you can afford to maintain the mortgage and maintain the property,” Ms. Wheatley-Liss said.

Although there may be some emotional attach-ment to the home, having it appraised can help determine whether it’s worth keeping. “The question would always be: ‘Are you protecting equity?’ ” said Michael McHugh, the president and chief executive of Continental Home Loans in Melville, N.Y.

An estate lawyer or financial adviser can pro-vide advice on estate taxes and other expenses associated with the property.

The survivors should contact the lender early on to let it know that the borrower has died and that they are the heirs, or the executor of the estate, and to determine the loan’s status. Mr. McHugh suggests sending the lender a copy of the death certificate and a letter from the estate’s lawyer.

It is also important to determine whether the deceased relative has stayed current on the property taxes, if they are not paid through the lender.

But what if the mortgage is delinquent — overlooked in a final illness? If the payments are behind by 60 days or so, it is possible to catch up. If it’s 90 or more days late, the prop-erty may already be in foreclosure proceedings, Mr. McHugh said. Depending on state laws and lender practices, the lender could either demand full payment of all the back payments, or con-tinue with the foreclosure.

Some family members ask about whether they can “walk away” from the property if it is under-

water, or worth less than the mortgage balance, Ms. Grimaldi said, noting that such requests are more common in this shaky economy. They can do this and allow the foreclosure to show up as the estate’s responsibility and record, she said. But care is needed if the estate has other assets, like a second home or an investment portfolio, which the lender could come after to satisfy the debt.

In some cases, negotiating with the lender for a short sale on the property may be the best solution. In a short sale, the lender agrees to accept less than what is owed on the mortgage.

If the deceased relative had a reverse mortgage on the property — one that paid him or her a stipend and accrued a balance — the heirs could pay off the mort-gage balance in full; sell the property and pay off any balance with the proceeds; or refi nance.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because you are solution-oriented, you’ll fi nd opportunities. Getting to the bottom of problems and taking care of the details that will prevent future mishaps will be challenging and rewarding work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You do not nonchalantly accept responsibil-ity. You realize that when you give your word, you’ll have to follow through in some way with your time, energy and attention. Those are precious commod-ities, so guard them well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Emo-tions bottled up inside you take on an energy of their own. They want to be expressed. They might even arrange for a bit of havoc in your life to create a scenario in which they will fi nally be released. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You wanted motivation, and now you’ll get it, so see it in a positive light. The one who lights a fi re under you is on your side, though it may not feel like that as the proverbial match strikes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not feel quite as fi lled with purpose as you did yesterday. Start spreading the word about what you wish would happen to you. You’ll meet the right people to teach you what you need to know. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be doing what you love to do. Perhaps you won’t be doing it for as long as you would like, but that will come in time. Build on the moments of bliss, and they will get longer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You rec-ognize that there is more than one right way to make connections, and you’re in the mood to explore new approaches. Your personal life gets interesting as you follow a friend’s lead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re excited to grow into a role and to know what it feels like to create a certain dynamic in your world. Your open mind will allow for fresh infl uences, especially through reading. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you’re ready to receive and appreciate some goodness from a bountiful universe, you’ll receive prosperity from a source other than expected. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your interests are varied, which allows you to fi nd a point of connection with nearly everyone you meet. You’ll glide through conversations and win the admiration of those who would like to be as outgoing as you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Show your enthusiasm, and you can’t go wrong. Better to be too effusive than too reserved. Most people would like to be more demonstrative but don’t know how. You’ll teach them with your confi -dence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will know immediately what needs to be communicated in a given situation, but it’s best to pause and get the most pos-itive and/or discreet phraseology. Your message may need to be softened. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19). Your personal growth is accelerated by a close bond with a loved one. Your pace will quicken in career and social realms. You’ll gain valuable insight and make new friends at meet-ups and dis-cussion groups. This summer, you’ll replace a vehicle and/or spruce up your home with up-to-the-moment touches. Libra and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 39, 15 and 28.

Prickly City by Scott Stantis

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I am very concerned about the state of educa-tion, specifi cally as it relates to the elimination of services. I am a high school counselor who is passionate about help-ing students and their families navigate through some of life’s most diffi cult obstacles, including drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, teen pregnancy, divorce, peer-pressure, self-esteem issues and academic struggles, to name a few. Just as you often indicate in your column, sometimes school counselors are the only safe, reliable, resourceful adult with whom students can share their problems. However, in an at-tempt to save money, some schools are eliminating counsel-ors, and the academic scheduling portion of our job is being delegated to clerical staff. I am not blaming anyone. I understand the dilemma, but I am heartsick at the thought that students in need of emotional support are being abandoned. I admire our teachers and be-lieve they make every effort to play a supporting role in the healthy development of our students. But with increased class sizes, that option of intervention and support is unrealistic. It is my hope that this letter will help make our communi-ties aware of the services available through their school coun-selors, as well as the need to keep these services intact. -- J. Dear J.: Budget cuts in nearly every state affect the pub-lic school system in ways that communities don’t always grasp until it’s too late. Kids today are faced with social and academic issues that their parents never contemplated. Often, school counselors are the only thing standing between our children and utter collapse. We hope this letter helps. Dear Annie: My son and daughter-in-law live a few hours away, and I can’t get them to come and visit. We get to see my two grandsons only if we drive to their house, and yet they have no problem driving twice that far to see her parents and

spend the weekend with them. On the rare occasions when they come by, my daughter-in-law barely spends any time with us. When they need a babysitter, I am expected to drop ev-erything. Don’t get me wrong. I love spending time with the grandkids. But sometimes I get so frustrated at being taken advantage of that I want to say no. I have always been there for my son, but now it seems we only talk when they need something. Am I selfi sh to want them to visit more, or should I just be happy that we get to see them every few months when they need a babysitter? -- Frustrated Grandma Dear Grandma: You aren’t being selfi sh, but sometimes there isn’t much you can do. The wives often run the social life of the family. Your daughter-in-law wants to be with her parents more than her in-laws, and your son has given up, doesn’t care enough to remedy the situation or agrees with her. If you want to see your son more often, you will need to make the greater effort, and it will help if you can chummy up to his wife. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Strong but Broken,” who wanted to confront the bully she knew in high school 40 years ago. Her therapist was probably right that the bully won’t remember. I found out at my 20th class reunion that the bully in my life had no recollection of making one solid year of high school a living hell for me. What a waste of my energy to hate her for 20 years. A friend told me to write down everything I’d ever wanted to say to her, read it, tear it up and bury the pieces in the back-yard. I did that and then washed my hands of the dirt, as well as the entire experience. -- Feel Better Now

‘Chefs and Musicians for Safe Harbor’4 p.m. to 7 p.m. First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church Portland is launching a new program Safe Harbor — a

legal assistance fund to address the increase in requests the church receives by asylum seekers who need legal assistance. The church is kicking off this program with a benefi t event concert “Chefs and Musicians for Safe Harbor,” on Sunday, Nov. 27, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at First Parish, 425 Congress St., Portland. “The Rev. Chris-tina Sillari has stretched her discretionary funds as far as they will go to help asylum seekers who come to her for help at First Parish Unitarian Universalist. Rev. Sil-lari says ‘our many friends who provide pro bono and low cost legal assistance to asylum seekers are so backlogged with requests, that many asylum applicants must look elsewhere to fi nd low-fee legal representation. These individuals endure a dilemma with a deadline: they must engage a lawyer’s services even before they have been granted a work permit to raise the fees for one. The stress is unimaginable; these asylum seekers must prove their lives are at risk and that worse perils face them if they are sent back to their home countries. Three people our church recently helped are talented, educated people who share our values, and for that they have already paid a high price — fl ight from their jobs and families.”
