Michael James sent back to prison
So long, Slainte
f
James a psychopath, saying he had threatened to kill him. Psychologist Arthur DiRocco said James was a master of “coercive behavior and control,” adding, “He has trained the staff very well.” James’s attorney, Harold Hainke, dryly observed: “You’d think the staff would be more successful in running [the hospital] than the patients.” In his decision, Marden relied on the law defining the insanity defense. James’s mental condition now, he said, shows he “does have substantial capacity to appreciate [the] wrongfulness” of his conduct. A guard quickly put handcuffs on a forlorn-looking James and led him away. He may be held in the prison’s new Intensive Mental Health Unit. Hainke expected an appeal. Disclosure: During years of writing about James I befriended him, and I briefly testified on his behalf, describing how Riverview had changed him for the better, but saying he needed a lot more care. I expressed disbelief that he controlled the hospital staff. If he did, I asked, “What kind of staff is that?”

#USmFuture
USM president restores layoffs Critics of the budget cuts at University of Southern Maine celebrated a major victory on Friday, as President Theodora Kalikow announced, rather unexpectedly, during a faculty senate meeting that all 12 planned faculty retrenchments at the USM campus would be restored and “off the table” — at least until the school’s 2014-15 year. The rescindment reverses announcements made last month, but would not presently include the USM programs recommended to be eliminated — American and New England Studies, Geosciences, Recreation and Leisure, and the Arts and Humanities program on the Lewiston-Auburn campus. According to USM spokesperson Bob Caswell, the Recreation and Leisure Studies department will still be folded into the Nursing program, a decision announced on March 27. But while they’re celebrating
f
the reversal of the individual cuts, the faculty senate believe there’s still hope to save the other three programs. Caswell says the process for determining their future is “still in effect,” while the Academic Program Review Committee, working with faculty from the departments proposed for elimination, is expected to submit proposals to save the departments to Kalikow by May 5. Then the faculty senate has until May 31 to present a list of financial alternatives to the 12 faculty layoffs that were restored on Friday, before the final decisions are announced by the Board of Trustees at a meeting scheduled for July 21 in Bangor. Caswell said he wasn’t certain whether a draft of a list containing 27 cost-saving strategies, written by the faculty senate and circulated last week, would be different from their official proposal due in more than a month, and expects more
ideas to emerge from a collaborative process between the faculty senate and Kalikow. In the meantime, the #usmfuture coalition of students, faculty, and community members who opposed the austerity measures at USM are relishing the victory. “This reversal was a direct result of students putting pressure on the administration, the Board of Trustees, and the legislature,” said USM English professor Eve Raimon, whose job was not among those slated for elimination. “They are owed all the credit.” Caswell, in part, agrees. “Theo said (on Friday) that they weren’t a great influence; she was really swayed by faculty discussions,” he said. “But I’m sure the student protests had to play some part in her thinking. And I think she was generally pleased to see students out there making their views known.”

News went out last week via press release that Slainte, the small bar on Preble Street in Portland across from the old Portland Public Market building, would be closing at the end of April. It was no surprise. The gnashing of teeth had already begun online — secrets don’t keep in Portland’s music scene. Why would so many lament a little venue with sightlines that make Fenway Park look wide open? “If we’re talking about actual venues, and not DIY spaces,” says Nick Poulin, frontman for Tall Horse, “I am hard pressed to find another room like it…When we play there, there are people right in front of us and it’s the most exciting thing ever.” Slainte is a place where a band can cut their teeth. There’s an axiom in the music world that it’s not the number of people at a show that defines its success, but rather how packed the place feels. Putting a mere 20 people into Slainte was not only enough to fill the room, but a hell of a lot of fun. “Anyone who wanted to be booked at Slainte could,” Poulin adds. “Some people might have had to prove themselves on a Tuesday or a Wednesday, but they said yes to everyone and I think that’s hugely important.” Owner Ian Farnsworth wanted Slainte be a place for upand-comers or those just starting out. “There are countless bands who got their start here,” he says, “Dead Man’s Clothes, Anna’s Ghost, even Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. The first place Aly Spaltro ever played was here. We just had a show with Mouth Washington and I was thinking how we were the first place he ever played.” So why, after eight years, is Slainte closing? “The landlord decided not to renew my lease,” Farnsworth says. Stephen Goodrich, owner of the building, along with the PowerPlay building across the street and a number of other properties locally, “found tenants who would renovate the space and pay a higher rent,” Farnsworth says. Simply put, Slainte couldn’t match the price. It’s hard not to draw parallels with Ken Bell’s experience at the Big Easy, and a number of local musicians have rallied to the cry of gentrification. It’s true that a new restaurant will be moving into the old Portland Public Market space across the street and that the surrounding neighborhood is rapidly improving. In Slainte’s place will be Arcadia National Bar, a proposed “barcade,” which is (ironically) now in the midst of a $25,000 Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds for that renovation. Maybe in some ways Farnsworth is a victim of his own success. “For the last eight years, I’ve been the only light on the street,” he says. “I’ve been the only place open. But I’ve learned to adjust...and become a destination spot. It’s a place for musicians and artists to hang their work — we’ve done everything, from theater to poetry, to every type of music you can imagine.” Poulin says he used Slainte’s weekly open mic to get over his own stage fright and find the courage to start a band with other musicians who showed up. Dustin Saucier used the open mic similarly, to build up a stage presence and a unique sound that resulted in the Sad Bastards’ excellent recent EP. It’s fair to wonder what will rise up to take the venue’s place. Farnsworth says he’s out of the nightclub biz for at least a little while. In the meantime, Poulin has booked a farewell show worthy of the venue’s storied history. On April 26, starting at 6 pm, Slainte will host Dan Knudsen, Erik Neilson (Rural Ghosts), Lisa/Liza, Dustin Saucier and the Sad Bastards, Worried Well, Tall Horse, GinLab, and ShaShaSha (and maybe some other friends and family — you never know). Oh, and the liquor will be priced to move, too.

sent to prison. Agreeing with a daylong parade of psychiatrists and psychologists, the judge decided it was not. James, 31, has nine years still to serve on robbery and assault convictions. In 2006 Marden committed him to Riverview when a Rockland jury found him “not criminally responsible” because of insanity for assaults on prison guards. James had spent years in solitary confinement, which caused him to revert to “almost an animalistic state,” Marden noted at the Augusta hearing. A Maine Supreme Judicial Court decision said James could be returned to prison if the state convinced a judge he was no longer dangerous to himself or others because of his mental illness or “not amenable to treatment.” The state’s witnesses didn’t talk much about dangerousness and admitted that treatment had improved his behavior. But one after another they said Riverview had taken him as far as it could. They described his ongoing head-banging, self-cutting, threats, and “manipulation” of patients and staff. With ill-suppressed emotion, psychiatrist Alexandar Raev called

unwelcome at state psychiatric hospital Riverview officials say they can’t do anything else for Michael James.
this Just in The state’s lack of money for mental-health care was the elephant in the courtroom during an April 10 Augusta hearing in which a judge decided Riverview Psychiatric Center patient Michael James should be sent back to the Maine State Prison. (James was the subject of a Phoenix cover story, “Locking up the mentally ill,” on April 4.) Riverview chief psychiatrist Brendan Kirby told Superior Court justice Donald Marden that the institution was looking closely at which patients should be there. The hearing made clear the state’s main mental hospital wanted to rid itself of patients with difficult “personality disorders” such as James. Last year Riverview lost $20 million annually in federal funds because of treatment and safety deficiencies involving aggressive patients, who tend to have personality disorders requiring lengthy psychotherapy. And the state says it needs Riverview beds for countyjail inmates awaiting treatment. The hearing’s topic was whether James’s “antisocial personality disorder” was enough of a mental disease to keep him from being

It’s the money that matters The average Maine voter, defined for purposes of this column as someone closely resembling me, has concluded that the current legislative session has been a disaster. Mostly for Democrats. There’s no question Republicans have had their share of screw-ups. For instance, Governor Paul LePage’s frequent ridiculous comments. The GOP’s outdated stands on women’s issues. LePage, again. Also, a misguided effort to cut revenue sharing to cities and towns, thereby raising property taxes. Oh, and did I mention LePage? Bad as all that’s been, it’s nothing compared to where Democrats have gone wrong. It’s true the Dems have no buffoon-in-chief like LePage to focus negative attention. Their leaders — Senate President Justin Alfond, House Speaker Mark Eves, court jester Troy Jackson — may be inept, but they don’t have the governor’s talent for attracting the spotlight. As a result, the Democrats’ most serious failings have been, in keeping with their leftist leanings, communal efforts. Let’s start with welfare. For months, the donkey party was opposed to any law limiting those on the dole to using public money for stuff like food and medicine. Such a restriction, said the Dems, would be an insult to the integrity of the poverty stricken. Then, after a massive public backlash, Democrats decided a little restricting might be manageable — so long as there were no serious penalties for violators. Or maybe they’d just study the issue. While the LePage administration has documented the use of Maineissued Electronic Benefit Transfer cards in places like Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Democratic legislators continue to claim that doesn’t

prove abuse. Perhaps not, but in the real world, there are probably not more than a dozen people in the state who believe that. I’m planning to sell each of them a nice oceanfront plot in Lewiston. For once, Mary Mayhew, LePage’s incompetent commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services, got it right when she told reporters, “Maine taxpayers are outraged with their hard-earned tax dollars being used this way — and they should be.” If Mayhew — who’s seen enough outrage over DHHS’s squandered cash, shredding scandals, and general mismanagement to recognize when voter contempt has reached dangerous levels — can grasp this concept, why can’t the Dems? LePage’s proposal to prohibit welfare money from being used for alcohol, tobacco, bail, gambling, and transactions involving meth resonates with the average person (me, for instance) in ways that the Democrats’ whining about not vilifying the noble poor doesn’t. Someone (probably a horrified campaign consultant) called this to the Dems’ attention, resulting in a sudden “compromise” that would make it look as if Democrats supported reform, without actually accomplishing anything. Then there’s Medicaid expansion, which the Dems have made a do-ordie issue. Let’s set aside the question of whether extending health-care benefits to 60,000 or so semi-impoverished folks by using federal funding is good public policy. Let’s just look at whether the average schlub (hi, it’s me, again) cares one way or the other. My research indicates the aforementioned individual doesn’t really give a damn, because he or she (mostly he, in this case) has his or her own problems. Calls for more Medicaid will not,
as the Dems insist, rally voters to oust hardhearted members of the GOP. In all likelihood, quite the opposite. Finally, there’s state borrowing. The arguments for and against more debt can get complicated, but it boils down to this: Democrats want to spend a lot on bonds, while Republicans want to spend a little. Those with Ds after their names will argue that investing $73 million in economic development (translation: free cash for companies) will create new jobs. They conveniently ignore reports that found no evidence that similar giveaways in the past have boosted employment. The R-affiliated counter that the state should be cautious in taking on more debt, since interest on bonds already eats up a significant chunk of the budget. But even the GOP is willing to support some borrowing because a majority of voters (although, in this particular case, not me) have traditionally approved almost any silly bond issue (financing for meth labs, chartered trips to Disney World for welfare cheats) by significant margins. No reason to alienate those potential supporters over a mere matter of principle. If the GOP goes into this campaign with a clear focus on fiscal issues (note to Republicans: abortion, gun control, and your party’s antiquated views on homosexuality are not — repeat, not — fiscal issues), it stands an excellent chance of retaking control of the state Senate and closing the gap in the House. If it wanders off-message (see “LePage, Paul”), it could just as easily lose ground in both chambers. The average Maine voter is watching. And this time, I don’t mean just me. ^

Clean eleCtions on the line earlier this month, the US Supreme court took the latest in a series of big steps towards empowering the wealthiest americans to spend unlimited money in elections. Before the court’s decision, donors were limited to influencing elections with no more than $123,200 in contributions to candidates, parties, and political committees every two years. now they can spend as much as they like, as long as they spread it out widely enough among different candidates who support their interests. caps on donations to individual candidates remain, but the court ruled the aggregate limits unconstitutional. it’s easy to grasp the implications of Mccutcheon v. Fec, and other recent rulings like the infamous 2010 citizens United decision, if you consider the role of money in the 2012 congressional races. the best-financed candidate won in 91 percent of the 467 races that year and the winning candidates outspent their opponents by roughly 20 to 1. Make no mistake: Money controls the outcome of elections. and when a small number of wealthy donors front the money that determines who controls the levers of government, that’s the definition of oligarchy – not democracy. Maine’s pioneering clean election act proves that another way is possible. Since the law was implemented in 2000, candidates in state elections have had the option of using public funds to run their campaigns. all that’s required is raising a set number of $5 donations to demonstrate significant support. the law’s impact has been dramatic, filling our legislature with lawmakers who can attribute their campaign victories to support from voters rather than from rich donors who paid their bills. roughly 80 percent of Maine’s legislative candidates used the clean election program between 2002 to 2010. these candidates did not need to spend their time courting big-money donations and once elected they were not under pressure to support policies that please the wealthiest of their supporters. advocates of federal campaign finance reform, such as harvard law professor lawrence lessig, often cite Maine’s public financing system as providing one of the best models. lessig, speaking at the University of Southern Maine last month, pointed to polls showing broad national bipartisan support for a clean elections system like ours, and he called for activists on the right and the left to band together against mainstream politicians who benefit from the status quo. if Maine’s clean elections act was applied to federal elections, and thoroughly funded and strengthened, it’s a safe bet that congressional priorities would shift profoundly, with a lot less emphasis on policies that happen to align with the nation’s plutocrats. it might also spell an end to an era in which half of the members of congress are millionaires. there’s one major problem, though, with looking to Maine’s system for solutions: it’s broken. in 2011 the US Supreme court dealt another blow to campaign finance law when it struck down the “matching funds” provisions of state campaign finance laws as unconstitutional; now, when privately-funded candidates raise more money than their clean elections opponents, those opponents cannot receive additional “matching” funds to level the playing field. the loss of matching funds means that public financing no longer offers enough money for many candidates to compete effectively. that’s why participation in the clean elections program fell sharply in 2012. (the Maine legislature passed a law in 2012 that would have addressed the money gap, but the law was never funded.) it’s essential for legislators give another shot at fixing and strengthening Maine’s system, both for purposes of keeping money from corrupting our own system and to provide the rest of the nation a workable model for campaign finance reform. US Senator angus King responded to the Mccutcheon ruling by introducing the real time transparency act of 2014, which would require public disclosure of contributions of $1,000 or more within 48 hours. King deserves credit for pushing for transparency that can help expose corruption. But even complete and instantaneous transparency won’t do much to prevent the rich from using money to control elections. that requires an ambitious overhaul of our campaign finance system and a viable alternative to the out-of-control fundraising horserace. if we can fix our own clean elections system, Maine is well-positioned to lead the nation in that direction. ^

fertile ground pro-pot sentiment keeps growing in maine
WITH MURC
_By d eir dre f ul t o n “Our Maine Legislature has been hijacked by pro-dope enthusiasts,” an impassioned commenter wrote on the As Maine Goes online forum earlier this month, “the 126th Maine Legislature has been transformed, unannounced, into the Maine Marijuana Legislature.” Is it true? Have our esteemed elected officials been turned into weed-bots? Let’s take a look. To be sure, Maine’s medical marijuana activists celebrated several victories over the last couple of legislative sessions, and they’re (mostly) looking forward to local and statewide legalization campaigns coming over the next two years. Earlier this month, Governor Paul LePage signed into law a substantive change to Maine’s medical marijuana law: Certified nurse practitioners are now considered “medical providers” able to recommend marijuana for medical use. Advocates say this will increase access and affordability. That bill, created at the request of the Department of Health and Human Services to clarify certain aspects of the state’s medi-mari program,initially contained bans on kief (THC crystals from the cannabis plant), hash, and resins; the original language also would have allowed the DHHS to contract with the Drug Enforcement Agency to inspect caregivers and dispensaries, according to Hillary Lister of Medical Marijuana Caregivers of Maine (MMCM). After a group of moms showed up at the State House to argue against outlawing kief, the final bill struck all references to that substance as well as hash (though advocates expect these issues will return next session). As for the inspection issue, the bill ordered the DHHS to develop a framework for processing and investigating complaints within the medical marijuana program. Those recommendations are due to the Legislature by December 1, 2014. The state House and Senate also passed a bill that would allow hospice and nursing facilities to access medical cannabis; that law was enacted without the governor’s signature on April 5. Last session, the addition of post-traumatic stress disorder as a qualifying condition was an

important triumph, as was another bill giving caregivers permission to donate excess marijuana to patients in need (previously they were expected to destroy it). “I think the fact that we’ve been a constant presence [in Augusta] for the past three years has really shifted” any perception that marijuana activists are just a bunch of stoners, Lister says. That and the fact that multiple legislators are patients themselves and at least two have family members who are registered caregivers, she adds, declining to give any names. Still, it’s not all smooth sailing. At the end of March, MMCM got a letter from Northeast Bank, informing the organization that its account with the financial institution would be closed as of May 1, 2014. “Your account has been identified as one associated with a medical marijuana business or a medical marijuana caregiver,” the letter reads. “While the medical cultivation and use of marijuana is legal under the laws of the State of Maine, the cultivation, sale, or use of marijuana remains illegal under US federal law.” This came on the heels of a not-particularly-reassuring US Treasury Department memo that attempted to clarify what financial services banks could legally offer marijuana businesses.

State pot laws overrule city ordinance
Saturday, April 19th at the Spectacular Events Center, 395 Griffin Rd, Bangor (on the Community Connector bus route).
But do citY police cAre?
pot activists rejoiced last december when an ordinance to legalize up to 2.5 oz. of marijuana in the city of portland passed by a wide margin. Yet those good feelings were harshed almost immediately, as portland police chief michael Sauschuck issued the sobering proviso that police would still observe federal and state laws preempting the ordinance, and which make marijuana possession a prosecutable offense. though no longer a crime, the sale, use, and possession of a small amount of marijuana (less than 2.5 oz) is a civil violation in maine (excepting medically authorized use) and punishable by a $350-1000 fine. But in the four months since the ordinance was passed, in spite of Sauschuck’s rejoinder, there is some indication that the portland police force are enforcing it less than they previously were. on march 11, in a press conference on an act that would allocate more state funds and resources to investigating, prosecuting, and punishing those committing drug crimes, Governor lepage was unequivocal in his stance on marijuana, regurgitating the age-old warning that it was a “gateway drug.” And Stephanie Anderson, cumberland county district Attorney, was even more blunt. “i think (legalizing marijuana) is a huge mistake; i’m gonna shout it from the rooftops,” she said. “And i’m going to do everything i can to make sure that the experience in portland isn’t repeated,” possibly alluding to pot-activists’ rumored efforts to legalize the drug on a statewide level in 2016. Anderson went on to issue warnings about marijuana’s adverse effects on lung health and, nebulously, “our children,” at one point referencing a 2012 study funded by the national institute on drug Abuse which claimed that prolonged marijuana use decreased iQ by 10 points (the study, popular with weed prohibitionists, has also been heavily challenged by researchers such as the Frisch center for economic research in oslo, which contends that the drop in question is too strongly correlated with socioeconomic factors to be conclusive). But as her admonishments concluded, she mentioned a “positive” outcome to the city ordinance — specifically that the dA’s office had been seeing “a reduced caseload (in charges of marijuana possessions) since december.” According to an office spokesperson, the cumberland county district Attorney’s office had “only logged in 14 charges for civil possession of marijuana” since the ordinance went into effect, a figure which does not include the number of cases settled on or before the arraignment date. that doesn’t give us an accurate reflection of the total number of tickets (the portland police department did not respond to multiple attempts on monday and tuesday to learn the total number of summonses on civil possession of marijuana issued during that time), but it does seem to indicate that marijuana possession is a relatively low law enforcement priority. “the portland ordinance has had no impact on our handling of those civil offenses,” Anderson told the Phoenix in an email. that appears true on the prosecutor’s level. But in the small window of time since the ordinance passed — and despite Anderson’s public anti-pot stance — there may be growing evidence that portland police officers are putting less energy toward busting casual pot smokers. _nick schroeder

“robert stopped smoking weed,” we learn in the Marijuana Valley afterword, “and switched to vaporizing the herb instead and is now a vocal vaporization advocate.” robert’s not alone. described as the “latest health craze” on mashable, vaporization is the process of heating a substance (in this case, marijuana — leaves, flowers, extracts, waxes) to the point where the active ingredients and flavors are released but without reaching the point of combustion, thereby avoiding many harmful byproducts. in addition to being healthier, vaping is also more efficient than smoking, and it works faster than edibles, according to the well-designed website Vape nation (vape-nation.com), which allows you to compare portable and plug-in vaporizers side-by-side.

Picking uP steam
Three Maine cities — Lewiston, South Portland, and York — could see pot-legalization initiatives on their ballots this fall, says David Boyer, Maine’s political director for the national Marijuana Policy Project. “We have the most momentum that we’ve ever had,” he says, and success on a local level (especially in politically enigmatic Lewiston) could bode well for the statewide initiative that’s coming in 2016. It could have come even sooner, had one proposal been successful. Piggybacking off Portland Democratic representative Diane Russell’s February memo to the state Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee, in which she urged legislators to consider tax revenue from legalized marijuana as a way to help make up the budget shortfall, state senator David Dutremble (D-Arundel) and state representative Corey Wilson (R-Augusta) attempted to link a pot-legalization initiative to LePage’s so-called War on Drugs bill last month. Their amendment would have put the legalization question on next year’s ballot, and made the establishment of new positions “related to the enforcement and prosecution of drug crimes contingent on the availability of sufficient funding received from tax revenues on the sale of marijuana.” While the drug war bill that passed the House last week was a modified version of LePage’s initial proposal (most notably, it adds funding for substance-abuse treatment), it did not include the marijuana-taxation scheme; several legislators said they’d prefer to see that matter discussed as stand-alone legislation. But Boyer believes that Maine is missing out on an opportunity to get ahead of this issue, and to serve as a model for other states. He points to a Pew Research Center poll showing that by a wide margin, the American public views alcohol as more harmful than marijuana to both personal health and society; the same report shows that 54 percent of Americans believe marijuana should be legal. Of course, the legalization debate sparks discord even within the pro-marijuana community, with some caregivers fearing that legalizing recreational use will lead to a big-money takeover of what has been a lovingly developed local industry. We’ll see this aspect
of the discussion come to the forefront as legalization becomes a more legitimate option.

Given all this enthusiasm, it should come as no surprise that this Saturday’s third annual Homegrown Maine event in Bangor, an MMCM-organized trade show and expo, is going to be bigger and better than ever. Scheduled speakers will address the many uses of hemp, local and state legalization efforts, the latest cannabis research, and more. The day-long gathering will also feature music and dance performances, designated vaping and smoking tents outside the facility (for qualified patients), more than 70 exhibitors, and workshops in areas such as seed-saving, cooking with weed, and greenhouse-building. ^

With eyes squinted shut, a big grin on his face and his head slowly rolling back and forth, rooster would’ve thought the dude was retarded if he didn’t know otherwise.” rooster himself is a piece of work, of course; he comes aboard with the clothes on his back (shirt, “kilt,” boots, coat), a sleeping bag, a tarp, and some heirloom seeds, plus a seemingly indefatigable energy and a connection with a girl named dawn. rooster rides an interesting arc in Barry’s hands, from sunny and naive to nervous and cocky, but it’s difficult to ever totally lose faith in him, as the reader does with Jeff. Because Jeff, unfortunately, is unredeemable; even before a climactic scene in which he actually endangers human lives, his tunnel-vision borders on unbearable. Adding to the absurdity: the object of his single-mindedness isn’t even the marijuana he’s growing, it’s the girl he wants to sleep
with — his hot new band mate, Ginny. Jeff’s objectification of Ginny aside, most of the female characters in Barry’s book get respectful, almost awe-struck treatment. they are sexy, strong, charged creatures, who — despite their realistic, generous flaws — have their shit much more together than the majority of their male counterparts. (this book doesn’t shy away from sex, either; while the erotic passages are brief, they are also bold.) Still, this is a book about men, and two men in particular: Jeff and robert. By placing these two protagonists side by side, Barry tells us a lot about where his own sympathies lie — with the serious over the frivolous, with the reverential over the raucous. So much for being a notorious raconteur. it is in robert’s scenes that Barry reveals his deep admiration for both the plant itself, and the talent and work ethic required to grow good weed: “his mad scientist-like dedication to soil science research, with occasional forays into plant biology, along with serious geology and government-conspiracy hobbies, all contributed to his ability to grow high-yielding plants of delicious, super-potent reefer.” And in the end, this book is an ode to that “delicious, super-potent reefer” more than anything else; the descriptions of marijuana are as lovingly drawn (if not more so) as any of Barry’s human characters. We come away from Marijuana Valley having read a great story — and probably craving another hit off the bowl. _df

April 22May 18 Theology and sharp-tongued quips intersect when aging sisters Mary and Margaret find themselves defending their Catholic beliefs to a young evangelist who knocks at their door. Faced with persistent cheerfulness, the two women call in their parish priest for back-up and the debate takes off. Smith’s thoughtprovoking comedy asks how far our cares and creeds will carry us before we start asking questions.

Sure, we have lots of great finds at amazingly low prices, but with your support, we’re also creating a healthy, sustainable community where nothing goes to waste. Not a shirt. Not a shoe. Not a person. trapping the ringleader Mr. Bones and the rest of the We Hack Minstrel Show crew employ unnerving physicality in Snowlion Repertory Company’s The Elephant Piece. How will we — that is, humanity — tell the story of how we fucked up everything? Of the air and waters we befouled, the climate we skewed, the species we killed off? Speculative literature is ever more concerned with human-wrought environmental catastrophe (e.g., the sub-genre of “cli-fi”), and another example of such a humanity-incriminating narrative is onstage now in Portland: The Elephant Piece, by Darryl Curry, is a speculative musical fiction about one minstrel show troupe seeking the last elephant on earth. Snowlion Repertory Company presents this riotous circus of a dystopia, with Al D’Andrea directing a stellar ensemble cast in a disorienting, absurdist production that’s sometimes puckish, sometimes horrifying. On a set of low platforms arranged three-ring style, with a festive swath of red, yellow, and purple above, floundering ringmaster Mr. Bones (David Arthur Bachrach) is harangued by the other members of the We Hack Minstrel Show. They are loud, childish, and impatient. They want a story. And they don’t want to hear Mr. Bones’s sweet tales about how an elephant has a heart-shaped brain or an India-shaped ear. Meanwhile, in a second story line, a regular old non-circus middle-aged widower named Paul (Alan Forrest McLucas, with affecting Everyman befuddlement and sorrow) is trying to help his young son deal with his mother’s death by taking him to various amusements. The stories slowly converge as this excellent ensemble, accompanied by Jim Colby’s simple, expressive keyboard, careens through a range of human attitudes toward the last of the elephants. Snowlion’s colorful ensemble includes a punk carney wearing chains (Bartley Mullin), a cheeky vamp in leopard-print (Autumn Pound), and a blue-faced prig in flowing scarves (Kara Haupt), among others (Angelica Phipps, Gabriel Walker, Jim Colby, Janie Downey Maxwell, John Kreutzberger, Margit Ahlin, and Timothy Hartel). In their quirky get-ups — patchwork madras, studded boots, a necklace of silver high-heels — they’re a circus crew that veers readily into Clockwork Orange territory, and they perform some unusual, unnerving vocal play and physical movements. “We
f
hack away from day to day,” they belt out, then riff on the line ominously: “Hackahacka-hacka.” They chant the word “meat” fast and low like a racing heartbeat. Their whispers veer suddenly into loud singing punctuated by plastic bats whacking the floor. They ritualistically encircle and then hold back Mr. Bones in an orange net. Such funhouse texture reflects a script that Snowlion developed collaboratively through workshops and exercises, and that was then focused and shaped by Curry. The expressionistic result is both liberatingly playful and devastatingly, sometimes chillingly taut. Over the build of the ensemble’s deceptively game-like songs and sequences — the Hackers create an ideal human in a magic hat; they bid on and then rape a “shapely little country” — the script satirizes anthropocentrism as a sort of kooky fascist imperialism. Think Brecht crossed with Margaret Atwood, with the Paul sequences striking an odd dissonance with their “Back to School Special” earnestness. But make no mistake: this is dark stuff. In fact, the extent of the dark-comedy seems a bit of a departure for Snowlion, whose previous shows — including The Freaks Club, a neat little allegory about a bullied girl with fish-scales — have usually ended in feel-good redemption. In The Elephant Piece, while the characters do come to realize the error of their ways, it’s kind of like Lear with Cordelia by the time they do. We — that is, humanity — can go on to improve ourselves as a race, but for the characters in the show, The Elephant Piece is a musical tragedy. Perhaps most interesting about the virulent humans portrayed in this strange, fascinating show is what they most aggressively demand of Mr. Bones: stories, which they also call “the meat,” and which they only want bloody and lurid. The suggestion seems to be that the people have developed an appetite for the wrong kinds of stories, and that our redemption rests on finding better ones to tell and hear. ^

Standard iSSue know how to Party
Full disclosure: I hired Standard Issue to play my grandmother’s 80th birthday party. Gram and the gang loved them. So did I. Of course, Jo Stafford’s cut of Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke’s “It Could Happen to You,” which appears on Standard Issue’s brand-new The Very Thought of You, was a top 10 hit in 1944, the year both my grandparents graduated college. I’ll have to ask Gram sometime if that song is more equivalent to “Macarena” or “Ironic,” the 1996 hits that helped me usher out the university years (I had to look that up — I remember nothing of either tune, for a variety of reasons). There’s no question that Rob Schreiber’s Standard Issue play the hits. A classic jazz trio in the Bill Evans mold, piano/bass/ drums, they call to mind smoky, dark bars with candle-lit tables and servers who bring drinks on plastic circular trays. And Standard Issue join the ranks of Sinatra, Miles Davis, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, and Dave Brubeck in laying down a version of “It Could Happen to You.” (This song is everywhere. Heck, it made the Walking Dead soundtrack.) With no singer, though, and with the barest of arrangements and subtlest of dalliance with melody, the trio don’t necessarily bowl you over with recognizable tunes. You know that hook in “It Could Happen to You.” You could sing it right now. But you don’t ever hear it in the Standard Issue version. Pianist Emmett Harrity is a cagey player. While dominating the overall direction of each song, he remains unpredictable

and slippery. His phrasings are playful and bouncy, generally upbeat even in sugary songs, and with a light touch. Nick Merriam picks his spots on the bass, often taking deep breaths and then bounding back in with a flurry of notes. Schreiber seeps in around them like fog, with lots of circling brushes on the snare and a delicate hand on the cymbals. What’s maybe most impressive is how relaxed they are in their efforts. There must be an inclination to really powerhouse some of these songs, but the trio are truly reserved. It’s sort of like no one’s ever in charge of the melody. Each instrument sketches out phrases like stencils you paint through in succession, and they line up to create a picture you couldn’t have predicted from any of the three in isolation. Still, there’s plenty familiar here if you’re a fan, like Gram, of the American Songbook. Diana Krall has a pretty famous version of Brooks’ Bowman’s “East of the Sun,” more sultry than Standard Issue’s take, where Harrity and Merriam elbow each other aside a few times and Schreiber mostly stays out of the way. There aren’t too many listeners who won’t recognize Henry Mancini’s “Moon River,” here elegant and charming, just like Audrey Hepburn in the movie that made it most famous, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. That movie version was full of strings and sappy oboe and clarinet; this take is crisp and full of divergent improvisations. For “Gloria’s Step,” in contrast, they mimic exactly the instrumentation from

Your wild days have returned
F A whole lot of amazing old BiG Blood albums previously only available on cd-r have been uploaded to bandcamp. the cathartically experimental group sprouted as a two-piece from the waning days of legendary post-rock band cerberus Shoal, and have issued wave after wave of the fearless and mystifying songs that make up their saga, from hypnotic swamp-blues to weird indian folk to rally-round-the-firepit post-punk. newly interested parties will have a lot of ground to cover; we recommend starting with Sew Your Wild Days Tour Vol. 1, which has a legitimate cover of can’s “Vitamin c” and the total stunner “Spit Shine.” the project has been filled out with other personnel in recent years, but these two remain a serious inspiration for those wishing to make vital, life-affirming music
beyond their 20s. originally issued on their own imprint dontruSttheruin, physical copies of most albums seem still available, and come dressed in gorgeous handdesigned covers crafted by colleen Kinsella, a preternaturally talented visual artist. Visit dontrusttheruin.bandcamp.com to hear. F While we’re wandering through these particular woods, we might also note that outsider-folk group (and Big Blood kinspeople) VillaGe of SpaceS announced a new album coming in June. titled Welcome In, it spans three years of collaboration between core players Amy moon and daniel Beckman, who also run the imprint of untamed musick turned Word recordS up in Belfast. the record’s also got guest appearances

Standard iSSue the piano-bass-drums trio features emmett harrity, nick merriam, and rob Schreiber. the Bill Evans Trio’s landmark live recording of the song on Sunday at the Village Vanguard. Bassist Scott LeFaro wrote it, and he teamed up on that recording with drummer Paul Motian for an insistent, driving rhythm. Standard Issue are quick and joyful, with Merriam at the forefront for the closest thing he has on the album to a true solo and Harrity dancing with the right hand. Recording this song this way is like Spencer Albee last year releasing a version of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Sundown.” It’s not an ironic take, it’s an homage, and you pretty much have to nail it. Standard Issue are as successful as Albee was, which is to say: very. There is only one original here, named simply “Rob’s Peace.” It’s a two-minute solo on the drums, with a foundation built on a pair of cymbal hits. Schreiber gallops
lightly on the toms, building a call and response, before joining hands in double hits and rolling off the splash cymbal in the finish. How many original solo drum compositions have you heard this year? It’s funny to laud a trio for originality in their playing of oldies that most people have heard, but no one’s really recording music like this in Portland and it’s refreshing to hear instrumentalism at this level in phrases that are outside the rock and roots fare. Standard Issue are part of a whisper of jazz renaissance locally. Let’s hope it grows to more of a conversational tone. ^

Sew Your Wild Days Tour Vol. 1, by big blood
from Big Blood’s caleb mulkerin and Kinsella, plus maine folk explorers/lifelivers Micah Blue SMaldone and aSa ironS. While they’re a little hard to pin, Village of Spaces records generally offer glimpses of the life of the pastoral artist, practicing the delicate task of growing authentic subculture in areas dominated by tourist commerce and mainstream media forces. Formally, they generally play that out in the language of spooky, meditative folk. Visit villageofspaces.bandcamp. com for their early work and turnedword.com to sniff out the whole operation. F Back above sea level, the musician and producer Spencer alBee is the principal architect behind a new web platform for local musicians called Live at
the Studio, Portland, a series fusing the talents of tim tierney (and his staff at the Studio on casco Street), filmmakers no uMBrella Media, and the Freezing process, a podcast airing in-depth, informal discussions about the local music scene between guest musicians and some dudes with opinions. What Brooklyn’s Serious Business on Breakthru radio has done for indie-rock bands (including several of ours), Live at the Studio, Portland aims to do for local pop artists, compiling videos of instudio renditions of songs recorded at the Studio with Grammy-nominated producer Steve drown. Albee’s slated the electronic pop group other BoneS, Sara hallie richardSon, bluegrassfolk group the GhoSt of paul revere, and his own self for the first few episodes.

dive bar alternatives upscale drinks, high and low _By Bria n duf f Since the city council wants to shut down Sangillo’s Tavern, it might only be a matter of time before we’re required to start drinking in a manner dictated by our elected representatives. The point of a dive bar is cheap drinking for drinking’s sake, and perhaps some unpredictable conversation. One side effect, apparently, is an occasional bout of spontaneous violence. What the council members prefer, one begins to suspect, are drinking establishments that fit into a more upscale and corporate-friendly mold, catering to the folks who harm society in ways more refined and better calculated. I visited two such establishments, recently opened or reopened, to try to get into the spirit of things. Dive bars are a crucial component of any urban bohemian’s personal mix of high and low culture. Within the paradigm of upscale drinking, however, we considered a different type of high/low juxtaposition: MJ’s Wine Bar at the bottom of One City Center, and the Top of the East Lounge, located on the top floor of what is now the Westin Portland Harborview hotel. The former allows you to drink under 13 stories of home-grown bankers and lawyers; at the other, you’re lounging above a dozen floors of business travelers and tourists. MJ’s has some things in common with Sangillo’s, and in many of the best ways. The drinks (wine in this case) are not too

A first-year general manager (Kevin Costner), stressed by the responsibility of landing the best players for his team, grapples with issues both professional (difficult coworkers, pompous draftees) and personal (bitter girlfriend, overbearing mother — women, right?). Screenwriters Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph seem to have modeled their script on Moneyball (2011), but here the
expensive, the service is pleasant and unpretentious, and the focus is squarely on imbibing rather than eating. The space is appealing, with large front windows, a long bar, a comfy lounge area, and lots of wood. In summer there will be tables out front. The wine list is a rare mix of reasonable and interesting, with most bottles under $40, and several under $30. Glasses and half glasses are available for every wine. The Charles and Charles cabernet blend from Washington was pleasantly dry and full with a hint of licorice. A French Malbec called Les Fiefs D’Anglars was understated and pleasant, exhibiting hints of raspberry without being sweet. The Stemmari Nero D’Avola tasted of raisin and plum. MJ’s forgoes a full kitchen, and serves only cheese, nuts, olives, and chocolate. The cheese plates are thoughtful, each pairing a cheese and little toasts with some sort of fruit and a sauce or paste. The buratta looked like a large egg, especially when cut open so its creamy interior could mix with a pile of super-sweet roasted corn and a tart raspberry syrup. A Geitost goat cheese had an unusual fudge-like look and texture, and slightly caramel flavor. So MJ’s is quite pleasant, though when the white-shirted bankers strut in through the back door — which means straight from the office — you do shudder a bit. At Top of the East you squeeze into the elevator with the polo-shirt and sweater

movie reviews in brief
mixture of pathos and business dealings falls flat, mostly because the film asks us to sympathize with people who don’t have any actual problems. Ivan Reitman directed, routinely as ever; with Denis Leary, Frank Langella, and Jennifer Garner.

xxxx DOM heMingway 93 minUtes | r | railroad sqUare (cominG soon) “Jude Law is Dom Hemingway,” reads the poster for this British comedy — just in case you needed some persuading that the poised, delicately handsome actor could pull off his role as a brutal, randy, flamboyant, explosively angry ex-con. He does, but the real star here is writer-director Richard Shepard (The Matador), who pumps
enough comic juice into the story to revive its shopworn premise of a career criminal hitting the streets again after years in the can. (Typical of Shepard’s sly wit, and Law’s deft handling of it, is the scene in which Dom tracks down the guy who slept with his wife while he was away, beats him bloody, then relaxes into some nostalgic banter with the man’s coworker as if nothing has happened.) Richard E. Grant, a wonderfully baleful character actor too seldom seen on these shores, costars as Dom’s safecracking accomplice, whose prosthetic hand tends to fly off in stressful situations.

xxx finDing vivian MaieR 83 minUtes | cominG in may to: nickelodeon + railroad sqUare + lincoln theater Chicago street photographer Vivian Maier was almost completely unknown at the time of her death in 2009, but since then there’s been an explosion of interest in her work—thanks mainly to John Maloof, who acquired some 30,000 of her
prints and negatives at auction and began posting them online. As codirector of this documentary (with Charlie Siskel), Maloof recounts his great discovery and interviews people who knew the reclusive artist; she spent most of her adult life working as a nanny (for Phil Donahue, among others), and her former charges recall her as a prickly character who jealously guarded her photography from the outside world. Like Henry Darger, another Chicagoan whose gift went unrecognized in his lifetime, Maier was an eccentric and a hoarder, and the portrait Maloof and Siskel assemble here from the scant information available suggests that her fanatical privacy was the darkroom in which her distinctive artistic personality was developed.

the cost oF clean energy
In his April 4th column, “Folly of Youth,” Al Diamon writes that Governor LePage is “dead right” about “his belief that wind power is driving up electricity costs in the state….” The governor and other anti-wind-power zealots assert this unfounded claim often, and they also say this about the state’s renewable energy standard. Like Mr. Diamon, they fail to cite any credible sources for this assertion. There is, however, reputable evidence that wind power lowers and stabilizes electricity prices region-wide and creates major economic development. Two recent studies from ISONew England, for example, found that 14 percent wind energy reduced electricity prices by around 10 percent, while 24 percent wind energy reduced electricity prices by 15 percent, and that the New England region’s proposed wind projects would reduce electricity market expenses by $1.074 billion per year, or $119 in savings per each MWh of wind energy. (Specific citations for these and numerous other similar studies can be found at: tinyurl/windenergycost.) In addition, according to a recent Maine PUC-commissioned report, “the addition of a large amount of low cost renewables, like wind, in New
England may also result in lowering electricity prices as wind displaces existing higher cost generation, which can also create indirect and induced economic benefits.” In Maine PUC’s recent approval of Downeast Wind’s 20-year term contract, the Commission found that the contract was in the ratepayers’ interest, provided a measure of protection to ratepayers against volatility in the wholesale market, and will have an “estimated price suppression benefit to ratepayers with a net present value of $6 to $8 million.” Obviously, electricity prices are only one part of the story. A comprehensive analysis of the costs of dirty vs. clean energy would account for the enormous subsidies for fossil fuels and the very costly harmful environmental, health, and economic impacts of global and local climate disruption from burning fossil fuels to generate electricity.

creative calling
“Nude Muses” (by Matt Dodge, April 11) might share something meaningful about artist models but has deceptive trap doors, including claims that professors don’t protect models’ safety and inaccurate depictions of what we models do, which trivialize this work.
_by Symbo line Da i Some very important religious holidays occur this week, which will prompt deep reflection for some. Others will just be happy that Spring Is Here. It’s highly unlikely (but not unheard of) to get snow this time of year, but it can happen. Late snow is known as “poor man’s fertilizer” since it adds free nitrogen to the soil. The sun switches gears into security-minded Taurus, so those who are prone to possessiveness will definitely get amped up this week through late May. Others, will be giddily relieved that Mercury retrograde has ceased. That’s always a threeweek transit, so if you lost your keys, your codes, your directions, your paperwork, clear communication with a loved one, bear in mind the pressure eases up.

The tee-hee undertones throughout border on ticklish prurience I find demeaning to the modeling profession. Artist models, like professors, are professionals who generally know the etiquette and how to protect themselves in the setting. Models are not victims, and artists drawing are not perpetrators. The author stereotypes us with a self-loathing “collective fear” of nakedness, and labels modeling as a form of “legalized exhibitionism.” Even R. Crumb would be appalled, and wow, can he draw the model! Posing requires endurance, exertion, depth, and inner strength. The seeing that comes from studying a figure model builds unprecedented awarenesses and drawing skills. Modeling is often a calling for the model; the relationship between model and artist is symbiotic, profound, nonthreatening, focused, and cherished. In defense of my colleagues, fellow artists, and the students, I feel it is unfair to condemn them. Models set boundaries, remain covered during breaks, and work with the professor to ensure their safety. The professor is present and vigilant at all times, and her professional tone and actions monitor students while they draw. 1

Waning moon in capricorn, moon void-of-course 7:21 pm until 12:18 am tuesday. Stick to the rules or “the protocol,” because if you deviate (and you’re an Aries, libra, leo, Gemini, or cancer), your wrists could get slapped. capricorn, taurus, Aquarius, pisces, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Virgo should deal with money matters or structures. 23

Waning moon in Aquarius, earth day. Air sign moons favor those who think big and dream extravagantly. So you may hear plans that are impractical or unfeasible. (or is that you making those plans?) But it’s a good day for tossing things out and starting over. leo, taurus, Virgo, cancer, and Scorpio could be (unintentionally) difficult with loved ones. Aquarius, libra, Gemini, pisces, Aries, capricorn, and Sagittarius: work on being nimble, and look for a candlestick to jump over. 24

Waning moon in Aquarius, moon void-of-course 12:10 pm until 2:55 am thursday. An all-day void-of-course moon tests your patience. if you don’t look for consistency, you won’t be disappointed. Schedules are completely out of synch. Aquarius, libra, Gemini, Aries and Sagittarius can go with this. taurus, leo, and Scorpio will resist, and Virgo, cancer, pisces, and capricorn will find the humor. 22

Waning moon in capricorn; easter. You say you want a resurrection? Well all right — here you are. With the sun in capricorn, we’re all going to be more practical, although Aries, libra, Gemini, leo, and cancer may be blithely blunt. capricorn, Virgo, taurus, Aquarius, pisces, Scorpio, and Sagittarius: find the fun in frugality. 22

Waning moon in Sagittarius, moon void-of-course 9:17 pm until 9:28 pm when it moves into capricorn. Sun moves into taurus. Another good day for travel. Aries, Sagittarius, leo, capricorn, and Aquarius, take action on “unfinished business.” Virgo, pisces, cancer, taurus, and Gemini should be talked out of whatever foolishness they’re hell bent on achieving. libra and Scorpio: spend time with your wilder friends. 21

Waning moon in Sagittarius, Good Friday. travel is a theme, and it’s a good day for frankness if you’re libra, Aries, leo, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Aquarius, and capricorn. You folks will be able to express yourselves with skill and style. however, Sadge moons are also accident-prone, so pisces, Virgo, Gemini, cancer, taurus could trip over concealed obstructions, or “sign up” for a program you have no interest in.

Waning moon in Scorpio, moon void-of-course 3:09 am until 5:44 pm when it moves into Sagittarius. excellent for weeding or doing a project that involves cutting or culling. look for plants that need to be hacked. Speaking of hacking, Scorpio, pisces, cancer, Virgo and capricorn could find they’re more attractive to others than usual. conversely, Aquarius, leo, and taurus may be unaware of how they’re coming off to others.

This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon moves into the sun sign opposite yours (see below), expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. Other oppositions are Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, and Virgo/Pisces. The moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | As the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of course,” making no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. But it’s great for brainstorming. | For Symboline Dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thePhoenix.com. Symboline Dai can be reached at sally@moonsigns.net.
