Men can blame estrogen, too

(NY Times) — It is the scourge of many a middleaged man: he starts getting a pot belly, using lighter weights at the gym and somehow just doesn’t have the sexual desire of his younger years.

The obvious culprit is testosterone, since men gradually make less of the male sex hormone as years go by.

But a surprising new answer is emerging, one that doctors say could reinvigorate the study of how men’s bodies age. Estrogen, the female sex hormone, turns out to play a much bigger role in men’s bodies than previously thought, and falling levels contribute to their expanding waistlines just as they do in women’s. The discovery of the role of estrogen in men is “a major advance,” said Dr. Peter J. Snyder, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, who is leading a big new research project on hormone therapy for men 65 and over.

The new frontier of research involves figuring out which hormone does what in men, and how body functions are affected at different hormone levels. While dwindling testosterone levels are to blame for middle-aged men’s smaller muscles, falling levels of estrogen regulate fat accumulation, according to a study published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, which provided the most conclusive evidence to date that estrogen is a major culprit in male midlife woes.

And both hormones are needed for libido.

(NY Times) — Michael Ollis was not even in high school when terrorists slammed jetliners into the World Trade Center towers.

This summer, 12 years later, he was serving his third combat tour with the United States Army when insurgents attacked his base in Afghanistan.

battles that were spawned in the smoldering rubble of ground zero.

As the families of those killed on 9/11 gathered on Wednesday morning in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia to mark the anniversary of the attacks, Sergeant Ollis’s death, one of thousands during a decade of war, offered a reminder that the costs of what happened 12 years ago are still being borne across the globe.

Edwin Aviles, 41, who lives in Brooklyn and was working near ground zero just before the memorial Wednesday, said time had done little to ease his sense that there are enemies looking to harm New York.

“I don’t think anything has changed,” he said. “Just like then, just like now we got to stay on point. Got to stay on top of everyone else. Anything can happen at any given moment.”

Suicide bombs hit Egypt Planned as call to act, Obama’s military in Sinai, kill nine speech became a plea for time EL-ARISH, Egypt (NY Times) — In near-simultaneous attacks, a pair of suicide bombers rammed their explosivesladen cars into military targets in Egypt’s volatile Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday, killing at least nine soldiers and nudging the conflict there closer to a full-blown insurgency.

The bombings in the town of Rafah on the border with the Gaza Strip appear to be a deadly response by insurgents to a military crackdown on their north Sinai hideouts that has reportedly left over three dozen dead.

Suicide attacks are a new element in the wave of political violence triggered initially by the ouster of Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi on July 3, and intensified by a violent crackdown on his supporters’ protest camps. They suggest that al-Qaida-inspired groups may be developing a new capability to strike at security and other targets, both in Sinai and elsewhere in Egypt. One of the two bombings in the town of Rafah brought down a two-story building housing the local branch of military intelligence.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle returned to work Wednesday, relieved that President Obama had called off a vote on military action in Syria, postponing a political confrontation that few in Washington want to have.

In the afternoon, the Senate formally ended its consideration of a resolution authorizing military force against the Syrian government and moved on to an energy efficiency bill.

The showdown over United States military intervention appears to be over, at least for now. But even as the president earned praise for being willing to pursue a diplomatic

response in Syria, it was what he did not say on Tuesday night in his 16-minute address from the East Room of the White House on Tuesday night that may ultimately shape the broader reaction to his remarks in the days ahead.

The president did not say how long he would wait to see if President Bashar al-Assad relinquishes control of the chemical weapons that officials say he used to gas his own people.

Obama did not detail the steps that the United States would demand from Syria as proof that the diplomatic efforts were more than a delaying tactic to avoid a strike from cruise missiles and American bombers.

Police investigate stabbing, blunt force trauma on Oxford Street Daily Sun Staff Reports

The Portland Police Department is trying to determine what led to an incident that left two men with stab wounds and a third with blunt force trauma on Oxford Street Wednesday.

The police were called to 255 Oxford St. at 1:21 p.m., after receiving a report of a stabbing, according to a press release, and officers at the scene found two people with stab wounds and a third with blunt force trauma.

Police say all three people are being treated at local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries, and are thought to be the only people involved in the incident.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Portland Police Department at 207-874-8533.

Community members may submit tips by going to the Portland Police Department website: www. portland-police.com and clicking “Submit an Anonymous Crime Tip.” Finally, anonymous phone tips can be left on the police department’s Crime Tip line: 874-8584.

Horse tests positive for EEE A horse euthanized due to neurological signs last week in Oxford County tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or EEE, the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry announced Wednesday. The horse was vaccinated for EEE and West Nile virus a year ago, but had not received a booster dose, the agencies reported in a press release.

EEE is a virus that is transmitted through the bite

of an infected mosquito. Eight pools of mosquitoes have tested positive for EEE in York County this year. Maine last saw EEE in horses in 2009, when 15 horses died of the disease.

“EEE, which is carried by mosquitoes, is a fatal, viral disease in horses. The virus can affect human beings if they are bitten by mosquitoes that carry the virus,” Dr. Michele Walsh, state veterinarian said. “People cannot acquire EEE infection from sick animals, only from the bite of an infected mosquito.”

EEE virus is carried by mosquitoes, which pick it up from infected wild birds. The virus replicates in birds, which act as natural reservoirs for the disease.

Signs of the disease in horses include: stumbling or poor balance, unusual behavior and lethargy.

Other symptoms include head pressing, circling, tremors, seizures and eventual coma.

“EEE is preventable in horses through vaccination,” Walsh said. “If more than six months has elapsed since a horse has been vaccinated, a booster vaccination may be needed.”

Vaccination can also protect against WNV, which has not been detected in Maine so far in 2013, but was detected in 2012, and has been detected in a neighboring states this year, the press release stated. Horse owners should contact their own veterinarians to decide if booster shots are needed, the state agencies advised. Revaccination is recommended if more than six months have passed since the last vaccination when exposure to infected mosquitoes is likely.

Other animals besides people and horses can be affected by EEE. The virus can also affect specialty livestock, such as llamas, alpacas, emus, ostriches and other farm-raised birds, such as quail and ducks.

“This EEE activity in mosquitoes and horses should serve as a reminder to health care providers that humans are at risk from this disease, as well,” said Dr. Sheila Pinette, director of Maine CDC. Although many persons infected with EEE have no apparent illness, those who develop symptoms do so usually three to 10 days after the bite of an infected mosquito, she said.

Who do you trust?

WASHINGTON — Vladimir Putin, who keeps Edward Snowden on a leash and lets members of a riotous girl band rot in jail, has thrown President Obama a lifeline.

The Russian president had coldly brushed back Obama on Snowden and Syria, and only last week called John Kerry a liar.

Now, when it is clear Obama can’t convince Congress, the American public, his own wife, the world, Liz Cheney or even Donald “Shock and Awe” Rumsfeld to bomb Syria — just a teensy-weensy bit — PootyPoot (as W. called him) rides, shirtless, to the rescue, offering him a face-saving way out?

If it were a movie, we’d know it was a trick. We can’t trust the soulless Putin — his Botox has given the former K.G.B. officer even more of a poker face — or The New the heartless Bashar al-Assad.

By Tuesday, Putin the Peacemaker was already setting conditions.

Just as Obama and Kerry — with assists from Hillary and some senators — were huffing and puffing that it was their military threat that led to the

A personal story of prostate cancer, treatment A few years ago at a family gathering, my siblings and cousins where taken aback by our fathers. Two brothers — well into their 80s, balding gray hair, big hearing aids, stood hunched, one propped with a cane, the other leaning hard on the countertop. Looking over, I assumed it was the typical political debate between the two of them, they’re so convinced they can solve the world’s problems. As we all Better with hung out in the kitchen, my father bellows out to my uncle: Age How’s your prostate? (!!) Surprise, surprise — they weren’t talking politics; rather it was an intense conversation about the most common fear that aging men face — prostate cancer. It caused us to choke on our beers, and break into laughter. Of course, cancer is no laughing matter; but how it came out struck us funny. It was nice to see the brothers checking in on each other and swapping war stories on the joys of aging. Good for them.

Pondering what took place, it dawned on me: Women talk. They find therapy in each other. They grow. They heal. Breast cancer has become a social concern. Exposed with pink ribbons; it’s commonplace to talk breast cancer. Prostate cancer, in contrast, by virtue of who it affects, is different; men tend to be less open and comfortable talking about

what ails them. According to the American Cancer Society, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American men; lung cancer is number one.

A few weeks ago, at a Think Local Community Networking meeting in Scarborough, Russell Harvie stood up to give the educational moment. As is typical at this meeting, a four-minute presentation is given to educate the group on something they may not be aware of. The best presentations are always the ones that involve a personal story. Russ’ story brought me back to the family party in the kitchen — I learned something that could help my dad and uncle.

“In the fall of 2007, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. No one likes to hear that word and we were pretty devastated that I was going to have to face that diagnosis,” explained Harvie. Among his brothers (he’s one of six), three of them have now been treated for prostate cancer. His older brother had paved the way, being treated in 2006 at Loma Linda University Hospital in Loma Linda, Calif. Russ visited his brother in California when his brother was having his treatments. His brother chose Proton Radiation; Harvie was impressed with how his brother responded to the treatment.

So, after receiving his diagnosis, Russ decided he would be treated at the same facility. By February 2008, Russ and his wife, Helen drove across country and enrolled in a three-month treatment program see VACHON page 5

Hitting rough patch, Kerry walked back the walking back DOWD from page 4

breakthrough, Putin moved to neuter them, saying they’d have to drop their military threat before any deal could proceed. The administration’s saber-rattling felt more like knees rattling. Oh, for the good old days when Obama was leading from behind.

Now these guys are leading by slip-of-the-tongue.

Amateur hour started when Obama dithered on Syria and failed to explain the stakes there. It escalated last August with a slip by the methodical wordsmith about “a red line for us” — which the president and Kerry later tried to blur as the world’s red line, except the world was averting its eyes.

Obama’s flip-flopping, ambivalent leadership led him to the exact place he never wanted to be: unilateral instead of unified. Once again, as with gun control and other issues, he had not done the groundwork necessary to line up support. The bumbling approach climaxed with two off-the-cuff remarks

by Kerry, hitting a rough patch in the role of a lifetime, during a London press conference Monday; he offered to forgo an attack if Assad turned over “every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community” and promised, if they did strike, that it would be an “unbelievably small” effort.

A State Department spokeswoman walked back Kerry’s first slip, but once the White House realized it was the only emergency exit sign around, Kerry walked back the walking back, claiming at a Congressional hearing Tuesday that he did not “misspeak.”

The president countered Kerry’s second slip with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie Monday night, declaring that “The U.S. does not do pinpricks,” which Kerry parroted at the hearing Tuesday, declaring that “We don’t do pinpricks.” For good measure, Obama, in his address to the nation Tuesday night, made sure the world knew: “The United States military doesn’t do pinpricks.”

Where the mindlessly certain W. adopted a fig leaf of diplomacy to use force in Iraq, the mindfully uncertain Obama is adopting a fig leaf of force to use diplomacy in Syria.

Even as Democrats tiptoed away from the red line, eager to kick the can of Sarin down the road, their own harsh rhetoric haunted them. Kerry compared Assad to Hitler last week, and Harry Reid evoked ”Nazi death camps” on the Senate floor Monday.

Again, an echo of the misbegotten Iraq. Making his hyperbolic case for war, W. was huffy with Germans on a visit in 2002, irritated that they did not seem to grasp the horror of “a dictator who gassed his own people,” as he put it to a Berlin reporter.

Obama cried over the children of Newtown.

He is stricken, as he said in his address Tuesday, by “images of children writhing in pain and going still on a cold hospital floor” from “poison gas.” He thought — or thought he thought — that avenging the gassing was the right thing to do. But W., once more haunting his successor’s presidency, drained credibility, coffers and compassion.

While most Americans shudder at the news that 400 children have been killed by a monster, they recoil at the Middle East now; they’ve had it with Shiites vs. Sunnis, with Alawites and all the ancient hatreds. Kerry can bluster that “we’re not waiting for long” for Assad to cough up the weapons, but it will be hard for him to back it up, given that a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll indicates that Joe Sixpack is now a peacenik; in 2005, 60 percent of Republicans agreed with W. that America should foster democracy in the world; now only 19 percent of Republicans believe it.

W., Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld launched a social engineering scheme to change the mind-set in the Middle East about democracy and the mind-set at home about the post-Vietnam reluctance to be muscular about imposing our values through war. They did manage to drastically change the mind-set in the Middle East and at home, but in the opposite way than they intended.

In a crouch after 9/11, the country was happy to punish an Arab villain, even the wrong one. That mass delusion, plus the economic vertigo, has sent Americans into a permanent crouch. And that’s too bad.

Deja vu? If city council votes to sell Congress Square Park land, an illegal camp could result Opponents of Congress Square Park sale proposal say they don’t want to ‘muddy the waters’ with an encampment prior to Monday’s vote, but afterward ... who knows?

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

Approaching the two-year anniversary of the Occupy Maine encampment in Portland’s Lincoln Park, a member of the movement said he knows of people who would stage a similar protest in Congress Square Park — if, on Monday, the Portland City Council votes to sell a parcel of the park to the company renovating the old Eastland Park Hotel.

“Not that this is a threat, by any means, but the cause and effect is going to happen,” said William Hessian, an artist and activist and member of Occupy Maine, a local movement that sprang up in 2011 around the same time as the Occupy Wall Street protests.

“If, on Monday, the park is sold, there probably will be people who will be (launching) an occupation where there will be arrests,” Hessian said.

Hessian made the comments in response to questions from The Portland Daily Sun about the likelihood of a repeat of the Lincoln Park encampment happening as a result of the public opposition to the city selling part of Congress Square Park.

Occupy Maine began its “protest” encampment in Lincoln Park on Oct. 3, 2011, setting up tents and a mini community in the city park near Franklin Street. City councilors voted in December 2011 to deny Occupy Maine protesters a permit to continue camping overnight in Lincoln Park. The group sued to contest that decision, but Cumberland County Superior Court Judge Warren Thomas Warren ruled that the city had authority to deny the permit. A city order and notice to remove structures and belongings from Lincoln Park and to abide by the park’s daytime hours was posted outside the encampment, and the campers were out in February 2012.

Last Friday, police responded to Congress Square Park as opponents of the city’s sale proposal appeared poised to camp there after park hours.

“We did camp out that first day, and there was a camp-out,” Hessian noted.

About a dozen people were there just a few minutes before 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, and many said they were willing to get arrested but they relented because of the arguments against that type of civil disobedience, Hessian said.

“We thought that bringing negative attention to the park would dilute the other messages,” he said.

Hessian also credited Police Chief Michael Sauschuck for doing “a really good job” of dealing with the situation, coming down and talking to protesters and letting them know that they had to leave.

But on Monday, if the Portland City Council votes to sell a portion of the park, Hessian said he wouldn’t be surprised if protesters decided to camp there and risk arrest.

For now, Hessian and other opponents of the sale are hoping the public will research information they have compiled.

The “Save Congress Square” or “Congress Square Summer: Save Public Space” (https://www.facebook. com/groups/354969907890642) Facebook page contains articles and information about the issue, he said.

A group seeking a public vote on the sale have a website, The Friends of Congress Square Park (http://congresssquarepark.org).

Supporters of the sale proposal have launched their own Facebook page, Revitalize Congress Square (https://www.facebook.com/YesonCongressSquare).

Hessian said he is part of the Friends group with

RockBridge Capital — the owners of the soon-to-open Westin Portland Harborview Hotel, formerly the Eastland Park Hotel — aim to use an acquired piece of Congress Square Park to build a 9,400-square-foot events center off the hotel. The 4,800 square feet remaining of the plaza would be the subject of a redesign and visioning process by the city. The Portland City Council will deliberate on the proposal at a meeting Monday. (DAVID CARKHUFF FILE PHOTO)

its “Citizens’ Initiative that will offer greater protection to Parks and Open Spaces throughout the city,” as stated on its website.

“We 100 percent support what they’re doing as far as tactics, this new initiative is really, really awesome and needs to be looked at by the city council,” he said.

On Wednesday, the Friends of Congress Square Park issued a press release noted it’s asking Mayor Michael Brennan and city councilors for “one-on-one meetings to discuss the fate of the park in the heart of Portland’s downtown.”

“We’re aiming to meet with as many councilors as possible,” said Dave LaCasse, the Friends’ treasurer.

“We’re not taking any councilor’s vote for granted, and we’re not giving up on any one, especially after the resounding support for the park at Monday night’s council meeting.”

Members also took heart from the City Council’s decision last Monday to receive nearly four hours of public testimony and then postpone a deliberation and possible vote until Sept. 16.

Friends Board member John Eder said in the press release, “We’re taking the council’s postponement of the vote as a big win for public neighborhood parks like ours. We’ve been saying all along that selling a downtown park for the first time in the city’s history will set a horrible precedent and we think our message has given the Councilors pause about voting against the public’s wishes.”

The group also cited a recent Public Policy Polling poll which found that 49 percent of Portland voters polled were against selling Congress Square Park, with only 34 percent in favor.

The group’s petition for a citizens’ initiative would add Congress Square and 34 other parks to the City Land Bank for protection.

The city has proposed to sell 9,500 square feet, the majority of Congress Square Park, to RockBridge Capital and retain 4,800 square feet of the park as a part of the effort to redesign the space.

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

RockBridge — the owners of the soon-to-open

Westin Portland Harborview Hotel, formerly the Eastland Park Hotel — aim to use the acquired piece of the park to build a 9,400-square-foot events center off the hotel. The 4,800 square feet remaining of the plaza would be the subject of a redesign and visioning process by the city.

Save Congress Square (https://www.wepay.com/ donations/save-congress-square) has a fundraising goal of $1 million in an effort to outbid RockBridge and secure the park for public use. Fifty days remain in this fundraising campaign.

“Congress Square Park now has a WePay site!

We believe that we can raise an endowment that is more than the assessed value of $55 a square foot as a vacant lot,” the group noted. “We are going worldwide and aiming for 1 million dollars, so that we can outbid the amount and create an endowment that would take care of the park for the future.”

“If it is just about money, they should give us time to raise money and the people could buy back their own park,” Hessian said.

Meanwhile, on Monday, expect a march at 5 p.m. from Congress Square to City Hall, he said.

For now, opponents of the sale don’t seem inclined to camp in the park, as Hessian noted that the push to preserve the park would likely suffer if they did.

“We didn’t want to muddy it with making a big stand,” he said.

In February 2012, Portland Police Lt. Bill Preis talks on a cell phone in Lincoln Park while Public Services crews remove remnants of the Occupy Maine camp. Talk of another encampment emerging in Congress Square Park may gain steam if the city pursues a sale, one activist said. (DAVID CARKHUFF FILE PHOTO)

Food truck operators could discover new opportunities from amended ordinances

By Craig Lyons THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

As amendments to Portland’s food truck ordinances move forward to the City Council, the cleaned up language could lead to new opportunities for mobile restaurateurs.

The council’s Public Safety, Health and Human Services Committee on Tuesday recommended the passage of a series of amendments to the city’s ordinances that remove some of the barriers created by the original language around food trucks regulations, obstacles that weren’t originally intended.

Aside from the amendments, the committee asked the city to consider a recommendation that came out of the Food Truck Task Force opening up public land to the mobile food vendors using a request for proposals process.

City Manager Mark Rees said he wasn’t aware of the discussion around using city land but it’s something worth looking at more closely.

City Councilor Jill Duson said she thinks the food truck operators should get together and suggest some of the locations that are most appealing to them for clustering since they know the business better than the city’s staff.

The amendments to the ordinances related to food trucks — which were passed unanimously — will allow trucks to be parked with 65 feet of each other but not an open restaurant; restructure the permitting process and fee; increase the size limits on trucks; and ease the time restrictions for trucks to set up in metered parking spaces, giving them an extra two hours.

Sarah Sutton, a co-owner of Bite Into Maine food truck, said when the city started to consider allowing food trucks, the most exciting opportunity was being able to use public land as a location. She said the task force recommended the city use an RFP process to rent to food truck operators.

When she started to look at that option during the winter, Sutton said, that’s when she discovered some of the language in the ordinance was not in line with the task force’s intent — namely blocking any clustering and the permitting costs.

“This is really a starting point in my eyes,” Sutton said, now that the city is amending the ordinance.

Clustering was one of the goals of the task force because it would allow the operators to share resources in private lots, said Doug Fuss, a member of the task force and the owner of Bull Feeney’s.

“There are huge advantages,” he said, and since the trucks are allowed in many areas that lack easy access to food, they could thrive in a group.

“I’m actually quite excited about seeing the food trucks around town,” said Councilor Cheryl Leeman, because it creates a whole new venue for Portland diners to try new food options.

“I don’t see anything that causes me any heartburn with regard to the suggested changes we have before us,” she said.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t want to put your signature on your work; you want your work to (SET ITAL) be (END ITAL) your signature. When people can tell it’s your work by the work itself, you’ll have reached the level of originality you desire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love is a bit of an obstacle course these days, and you may find yourself tunneling under or scaling over enormous barriers to emotional intimacy. It makes jumping through the hoops seem like child’s play.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Lie detectors are designed on the premise that dishonesty causes bodily stress. You’ll take some of the pressure off by getting rid of the expectation or rule that is keeping people from telling the truth.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 12). You bring self-care to a new level this year, and this favorably affects everyone. An investment will pay in five weeks. October shakes up relationships and sets you on a more pleasurable course. Make the most of educational opportunities in November and July -- doing well sets the tone for your financial future.

Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 2, 14, 38 and 5.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everything has its time. The object that is coveted, revered and utterly reflective of this moment will lose value after this moment has passed.

It’s something to think about before you take out your wallet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your cells regenerate, and your spirit restores. It’s like you’re becoming younger with every hour today, and you don’t have to make any kind of effort to do so. You’re naturally optimistic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People who aren’t sure whether they can help you or not will be reserved until they determine exactly how they can be of service. Make it easy. Talk about what will move you forward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your weaknesses are offset by your considerable strengths. But just think about what you could do in a partnership with someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak.

Seek collaboration.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Giving is not always a sacrifice. Being generous has a way of exhilarating you, especially when you see the difference your contributions make in the lives of others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Strip away some of what you were taught. It’s not that the lessons were wrong or inferior; it’s just that they were given to you from someone else’s experience. Work from your own experience instead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one can give you more time, but people can sure help you waste the time you have. Actively guard against distractions. Anticipate what could happen to knock you off your game, and prepare a defense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be working by yourself. This scenario makes it challenging to know how you compare to others in the marketplace. Ask both insiders and outsiders their opinion. Get another point of view.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you follow your whimsy, it might be considered lollygagging. It might also lead to enormous joy. If you have fun with what you’re doing, you’ll find success.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 12, the 255th day of 2013. There are 110 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On September 12, 1943, during World War II, German paratroopers took Benito Mussolini from the hotel where he was being held by the Italian government.

On this date: In 1846, Elizabeth Barrett secretly married Robert Browning at St. Marylebone Church in London.

In 1888, entertainer Maurice Chevalier was born in Paris.

In 1913, Olympic legend Jesse Owens was born in Oakville, Ala. In 1938, Adolf Hitler demanded the right of selfdetermination for the Sudeten (soo-DAYT’-un) Germans in Czechoslovakia.

In 1942, during World War II, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians.

In 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier (boo-vee-AY’) in Newport, R.I. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy addressed questions about his Roman Catholic faith, telling a Southern Baptist group, “I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me.”

In 1962, in a speech at Rice University in Houston, President John F. Kennedy reaffirmed his support for the manned space program, declaring: “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

In 1963, “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” a novel by John le Carre, went on sale in Britain.

In 1977, South African black student leader Steve Biko died while in police custody, triggering an international outcry.

In 1986, Joseph Cicippio, the acting comptroller at the American University in Beirut, was kidnapped (he was released in December 1991).

In 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off, carrying with it Mark Lee and Jan Davis, the first married couple in space; Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space; and Mamoru Mohri, the first Japanese nat’l to fly on a US spaceship.

Ten years ago: In the Iraqi city of Fallujah, U.S. forces mistakenly opened fire on vehicles carrying police, killing eight of them. The U.N. Security Council ended 11 years of sanctions against Libya.

Five years ago: A Metrolink commuter train struck a freight train head-on in Los Angeles, killing 25 people. (Federal investigators said the Metrolink engineer, Robert Sanchez, who was among those who died, had been text-messaging on his cell phone and ran a red light shortly before the crash.)

One year ago: The U.S. dispatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli. Libya, after the mob attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. President Barack Obama strongly condemned the violence, and vowed to bring the killers to justice; Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused the administration of showing weakness in the face of events in the Middle East.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My dad’s cousin, “John,” is an internist from another state. During my younger sister’s wedding weekend, Dr. John stayed with us. Two days before the wedding, my sister was stressed and couldn’t sleep.

John offered her Ambien. The pill was blue and in a blister pack. He gave her two, even though the label states you shouldn’t take them unless you can get six hours of sleep. My sister absolutely didn’t have time for that.

I have a prescription for Ambien, and it’s white. I have no idea what John gave my sister. At the hairdresser’s the next day, she was totally zoned out. Isn’t it wrong for physicians to dispense such medications without a prescription?

There have been several incidents in the past where John has given prescription medications to my family members without seeing them. He once sent my dad expired ointments for a rash that turned out to be shingles.

When my mother had pneumonia, he told her to take flu medication. He didn’t examine them, nor did he write a prescription. What do you think I should do? -- Furious and Concerned Dear Furious: First of all, Ambien can come in different colors, depending on the dosage. We assume these are sample drugs that John happens to have handy. The real issue is that your family is eager to take advantage of John’s ability to provide such medication for free and without needing to see their regular physician. They have the option not to follow his advice or take what he offers, but they prefer the convenience.

Dear Annie: You’ve printed letters about theater and concert patrons who stand up or squash you in your seat. I have a better one. I sat in the worst seat on Broadway. I understand “obstructed view.” This was NO view.

We offer competitive salaries and an excellent benefits package!

Please check our website for specific details on each position COOK - Nutrition Services 32 hours LNA - Merriman House Per Diem LNA/Unit Secretary - Med Surg Per Diem Nursing Coordinator - Per Diem Clinical Supervisor - Primary Care Full-time Medical Assistant - Primary Care Full-time Medical Assistant - Womens Health Office RN - Pediatrician Office @ Primary Care Full-time RN - Med Surg & ICU FT Per Diem

I was in the front row. All I could see was a staircase and the backs of actors who were seated in chairs on stage. I was brokenhearted. I found an usher at intermission and demanded to be seated elsewhere. She told me this is what happens when you buy discount tickets at the last minute. But she took me to the last row of the theater and said, “This way you can see the terrific part with the mirror.” I gasped, “There’s a mirror?!”

The second act was great, although I had to ask the people next to me to stop texting during the performance. Afterward, I found the usher and thanked her.

Then I wrote the box office manager and the theater owners and asked that they please stop selling this seat.

I haven’t heard back. -- Don’t Stick a Broadway Baby in a Corner Dear Baby: Most theaters have at least one horrible seat, but it’s hard to know that when you purchase at the last minute, especially when those tickets are discounted. There’s a reason those are the seats that are left. Good for you for speaking up and finding a kind usher willing (and able) to seat you elsewhere.

Dear Annie: “Still Waiting” complained that few people reciprocate dinner invitations anymore. Since moving to an active senior community two years ago, my husband and I have hosted about 18 dinners in our home, everything from casual suppers to large parties.

Reciprocation in these friends’ homes has been rare, but we don’t care. We’ve enjoyed every one of the meals.

We don’t have special cooking skills, and hosting a dinner takes time and effort, but it’s fun and has the added advantage of cozy chats that don’t happen in a noisy restaurant. -- W.

Alpha Company staff from the Marine Corps Reserve Training Center Members of Alpha Company Marines, who fall under the 25th Marine Regiment — including Petty Officer First Class Jill Osborne (center) of Bath — gather in Brunswick Wednesday for “A Day to Remember,” a Sept.

11th commemoration for the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America. These are the inspector instructors based at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. They work at a Marine Corps Reserve Training Center that was dedicated a year ago to 1st Lt. James Zimmerman, a Marine from Maine who was killed while serving in Afghanistan in November 2010. On Aug. 12, 2012, Gov. Paul LePage and First Lady Ann LePage attended the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony for what was then the new Marine Corps Reserve Training Center in Brunswick.

The governor and his wife attended Wednesday’s ceremony for the 9/11 anniversary.
