‘UFCW wants a dignified, controlled, taxed, regulated, compliant, and unionized medical cannabis industry.’

this Just in poll numbers

organized labor

Watch your backs, useless people

The Maine People Before Politics poll released Tuesday is filled with problems, many of which have already been dissected by UMaine political science professor Amy Fried on her Bangor Daily News blog — and some of which have also been parodied

by Maine People’s Alliance activist Mike Tipping on his Twitter feed (@miketipping).

The questions are leading, and misleading, resulting in skewed and unreliable results. That’s not too surprising for a group so closely aligned with Republican Governor Paul LePage — it is exactly the same organization as managed LePage’s transition and inauguration into the Blaine House, and just changed its name to keep using the same funds.

But there’s one question that is neither skewed nor misleading — and its results are the most illuminating of the bunch, showing the continuing breakdown of our entire political system.

Union battles continUe

Here’s how the poll asked 500 people about Mainers’ confidence in political parties: “Which political party, Republican or Democrat, do you trust more to solve the problem or issue that you believe should be their highest priority?”

Apart from its obvious omission of the Green Independent Party and any sense of the relative prominence of nonparty-affiliated politicians in Maine, this is a pretty fair question. And here are the answers, with a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.5 percent:

Republican 139 people, 28 percent DemocRat 139 people, 28 percent both equally 42 people, 8 percent neitheR 151 people, 30 percent not suRe 29 people, 6 percent So while we’re arguing about the methodology of an obviously partisan group’s obviously inept poll, let’s be sure to remember that more people trust neither party than trust either the Republicans or the Democrats to actually achieve anything important. Ineffectiveness: At last, something all parties can agree on.

_Jeff Inglis

Maine’s state employees union is engaged in (yet another) public disagreement with Governor Paul LePage, who has accused the union’s general counsel of lying about a potential government shutdown that would come if the guv and the legislature fail to enact a two-year budget by July 1.

“Let me be clear,” LePage wrote in a May 13 letter to Rodney Hiltz, chief negotiator for the Maine State Employees Association (MSEA). “I deny that a directive has been issued to any executive branch departments or agencies to ‘prepare plans for an inevitable shut down of all non-essential functions of state government for the month of July.’ Your accusation . . . is unfounded and, quite frankly, absurd . . . I can only conclude that MSEA is spreading gossip about a shutdown as a ploy to seek political leverage.”

Hiltz refused to disclose the source of the MSEA’s information, but insisted said source was “credible.” Regardless, the union wants its questions answered.

“I reiterate this Union’s demand that the Administration negotiate over the impact of any shutdown on bargaining unit members,” Hiltz wrote, to discuss questions like “Who will be retained as ‘essential’ employees?” and “Once funding authority is restored, will laid off employees be paid for the time they were unable to work?”

The governor met with MSEA representatives on Monday morning, but the MSEA’s report suggests it wasn’t a very productive pow-wow.

“Our members told the truth in requesting a meeting with management to discuss the impact a shutdown would have on them,” according to a statement at mseaseiu.org. “Yet minutes into this morning’s meeting, Governor LePage disrespected members of our union negotiating team and said that if the Legislature doesn’t approve his budget, ‘then you have a problem.’ Governor LePage and his management team further refused to negotiate this morning with members of our union over the impact of a shutdown. His chief negotiator said management’s refusal to negotiate would continue until a shutdown decision is made.”

Meanwhile, on Monday, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) filed an unfair labor practice claim against the Wellness Connection of Maine, which operates four of the state’s eight licensed medical marijuana facilities (in Portland, Brewer, Hallowell, and Thomaston). The charges, reported to the National Labor Relations Board, allege more than 10 violations of worker’s rights, including use of anti-union tactics and the existence of unsafe working conditions. This development comes after an investigation by the state Department of Health and Human Services that found more than 20 code violations including the illegal use of pesticides on cannabis plants.

“We’re not refusing our employees anything,” says Patricia Rosi, chief operating officer for the Wellness Connection.

If a majority of employees wants to unionize, the company will accommodate that desire. “What really matters most is: What’s best for our employees is what’s best for our patients.” Having not yet seen the UFCW’s claim, Rosi could not comments on the specific charges of unfair labor practices.

The UFCW, which has its own Medical Cannabis and Hemp Division, represents thousands of medical marijuana workers in six states and the District of Columbia, according to a press release distributed by the Maine AFL-CIO. “UFCW and our members are dedicated to a dignified, controlled, taxed, regulated, compliant, unionized medical cannabis industry,” the union has said. The UFCW also this week announced its support for LD1161, An Act to Ensure Regulated Safe Access to Marijuana, which had its public hearing before the Health and Human Services Committee this week and would increase the number of medi-mari dispensaries in Maine.

one Cent’s Worth

politics + other Mistakes Change for the better The trouble with tax reform is that almost everybody not named Warren Buffett believes it should result in their personal tax bill going down. Buffett, the billionaire CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is one of the few human beings who seems to grasp the concept that any rational plan for tax reform is going to result in somebody paying more, billionaire CEOs being the most likely targets.

The other reasonable target is you.

Also, me.

Tax reform is supposed to make the system fairer. According to most people’s definition of fairness, that means they should pay less, and somebody else — billionaires and welfare cheats, mostly — should make up the difference. Trouble is, there aren’t many billionaires, so no matter how much tax reform soaks them, it won’t cover tax reductions for everybody like you. Welfare cheats make up a much smaller percentage of the population than is generally supposed. Since their assets are considerably less than the billionaires, it’s unlikely they can scrape up the difference.

Which brings us to reality. In Maine, a group of legislators — Republicans, Democrats, and an independent who go by the unfortunate nickname of the “Gang of 11” — have proposed a tax reform plan that, by any honest assessment, means you’ll pay more. Me, too. Even so, it may not be such a lousy idea.

Let’s list the good parts first. The state income tax would be cut nearly in half. The top rate, which most of us pay on most of our income, would go from almost 8 percent to 4 percent. In fact, all the rates would go to 4 percent. No question that all of us, including Warren Buffett types, would pay less. And paying would be easier, since most deductions and other tax dodges would be

f

eliminated. Although, that means most of us would pay more. But probably not as much more as we do now.

The estate tax would vanish. If you have an estate worth more than $2 million, this is a big deal for you.

Or, actually, more of a big deal for your relatives, since you’ll be dead before it does anyone any good.

Property taxes would go down.

The current homestead exemption of $10,000 on your primary residence would be increased to $50,000. Sweet.

Corporate taxes would be reduced.

A little. But, still serious money if you happen to be a billionaire.

Poor people would get a tax credit worth as much as $1000 a year.

Pocket change for Buffett, but serious dough for those considering welfare fraud to make ends meet.

And those folks will need every penny, because here comes the bad stuff.

The sales tax would increase from 5 percent to 6 percent. It would also be expanded to cover everything except health care and education. That means basic grocery items will be taxed for the first time, as will such other essentials as electricity, heating fuel, and all services, from haircuts to home repairs to legal advice.

The tax would also hit all those recreational activities so beloved by tourists, from whale-watching cruises to ski tickets to water slides. Of course, you’ll be paying, too, because that includes tickets to movies, concerts, and lectures by Warren Buffett.

Taxes on restaurant meals, lodging, and beer would be raised. So would excise taxes and real estate transfer taxes.

And yes, Zumba classes would be taxed.

Also, newspapers.

I figure I’ll use up all my tax savings and more on just the increased cost of beer. The only way to make

_BY mA rc mewS hA w

my personal budget balance will be to give up water slides and Warren Buffett lectures and take up welfare fraud.

Still, the Gang of 11’s plan is a sensible approach. While we can quibble about the details (I don’t think beer should be taxed at all), the essential points address some serious issues.

Which are: The current sales tax is too narrow. It relies heavily on people buying cars and home-improvement stuff. It allows tourists to enjoy Maine without contributing much to state coffers.

The current income tax is too high. Even with the tax cut passed last legislative session, it’s a drag on the economy. This plan shifts from taxing income to taxing consumption (you’ve got tuberculosis, so your disease tax will be $45), which makes sense to every economist with an IQ higher than my dog. (Uh oh, pet grooming is on the list of newly taxable items.)

The state budget isn’t going to get balanced unless many of these ideas are incorporated in a compromise deal that can cover the $880 million shortfall and avoid cutting $200 million in revenue sharing to municipalities.

The Gang of 11 claims tourists and rich people will pick up most of the tab for the additional $700 million in revenue this plan will produce.

That’s nonsense. You and I are going to pay more. Probably not a lot more.

But more.

Because that’s what tax reform is really about. It’s 10 percent fairness and 90 percent generating cash. Too bad the G-11 refuses to admit that, avoiding this inconvenient truth like there was a tax on it. ^

The plan includes a sales tax on email service, but if you can afford it, send me comments at aldiamon@herniahill.net.

ImmIgratIon by the numbers fsentiment and political will has sped the country to after many false starts, a convergence of public

the brink of comprehensive immigration reform. in purely economic terms, it’s a no-brainer — one of those rare instances where a moral imperative neatly aligns with our national self-interest. enemies of reform often tar it as an amnesty program, but tossing around the a-bomb just confuses the issue. the draft legislation currently before congress wouldn’t simply rubber-stamp unauthorized immigrants. they’d be required to pay hefty fines and application fees, learn english and civics, pass background checks, and pay back taxes. that alone would deliver a welcome fiscal shot in the arm. and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. the biggest boon to the economy would stem from the ripple effects of bringing the 11 million undocumented immigrants living on the margins of society into the mainstream — translating directly into higher wages and better living standards for all americans. our current dysfunctional immigration system exerts downward pressure on wages for the undocumented. as a 2008 Federal reserve Bank of atlanta study found, “when a firm cuts costs by hiring unauthorized workers for lower wages, its competitors become more likely to hire unauthorized workers for lower wages as well in order to benefit from the same cost savings.” the result is a race to the bottom in already low-wage labor markets. as we learned when the 1986 immigration reform and control act conferred green cards on 2.7 million undocumented immigrants, legalization reverses that pressure by establishing a “wage floor.” no longer cowed by the threat of deportation, immigrants with the legal protections to fight abusive working conditions and contest wrongful termination make much more productive laborers. they also seek work that better matches their skills, and tend to invest more in education and training. as a consequence, they earn around 15 percent more than their undocumented counterparts (add another 10 percent for naturalized citizens). that rising tide of wages for those at the bottom lifts all boats, translating to an increase in earnings of $470 billion for americans on the whole. (that and the figures in the following paragraph are computed over 10 years.)

But immigrants are more than just workers — they participate in the economy as consumers and taxpayers too; with higher earnings come higher taxes (legalization would bring in $109 billion in added tax revenue). they also buy more stuff and launch more entrepreneurial ventures. that spending and enhanced economic activity, in turn, stimulates further demand and expands the economy at large, both of which end up creating more jobs. in fact, legalizing undocumented foreigners in the US would generate more than a million jobs, according to the center for american progress. think tanks of all political persuasions estimate that this one-two of job creation and consumption would raise Gdp by anywhere between $832 billion and $1.5 trillion. oh, and feel free to ignore some conservative groups’ scaremongering that a flood of legalized immigrants will overburden the welfare state. a 2007 cost estimate by the nonpartisan congressional Budget office shot that deadletter down when it found that immigrants granted legal status pay twice as much in taxes over their lifetimes as they use in services. lastly, the US could save untold billions by reducing wasteful spending on our current enforcement-only policy. in 2012, we dropped $5 billion to detain and deport a record 409,849 immigrants. that figure doesn’t include the $18 billion budgeted to protect america’s borders, money that has proved ineffective at anything except bolstering the human smuggling trade and driving the flow of immigrants to everdeadlier stretches of desert. if it strikes you as inherently unfair that our society relies on the cheap labor provided by unauthorized immigrants, and in return subjects them to serf-like working conditions, subminimum-wage living standards, and the threat of random deportation, you’re not alone. Sixty-three percent of america is with you. and the economics are on your side too. ^

Change-makers in our midst Maine WoMen’s Fund aWardees are building a neW World _b y d e ir d r e F u l ton On the surface, they have little incommon: An unassuming entrepreneur in her late 50s, an accomplished 38-year-old photojournalist, and a trio of energetic teenagers. But these women do exhibit several shared traits. They are plucky and passionate, clever and unpretentious. They are Mainers. And all five will be honored next Thursday, May 23, at the Maine Women’s Fund’s annual Leadership Luncheon, which honors those who are making life better for women and girls in this state and beyond.

“Part of the work of philanthropy is to inspire people,” says Sarah RuefLindquist, MWF’s chief executive officer.

“When we have in our midst people who have accomplished things like [these women] and they’re from right here in our backyard, that’s inspiring. A lot of people don’t recognize that they’re connected here or the impact of their work beyond Maine.”

Vintage Vamp

Published in 1963, Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique outlined a problem without a name, one that “lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning [that is, a longing] that women suffered in the middle of the 20th century in the United States.

Each suburban wife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries . . . she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question — ‘Is this all?’”

Since 1985, Lewiston native Anne Taintor has been turning up the volume on that very question, and variations of it, transforming once unspoken resentments into a source of modern humor and camaraderie.

Taintor’s designs are known internationally — witty collages that pair vintage images of domestic tranquility (such as an apron- and lipstick-wearing woman smiling over a stove) with tongue-incheek, imagined internal monologues (Why, I’d be delighted to put my needs last again).

The clever juxtapositions festoon everything from flasks and coasters to iPhone cases and notecards (Anne Taintor knee socks are in the works). Next Thursday, the 59-year-old entrepreneur, who moved back to Maine two years ago after more than a decade in New Mexico, will accept the MWF’s

Sitting in her Stroudwater home, which she shares with her husband and two dogs and also houses her light-filled studio (where she stores hundreds of vintage magazine clippings, organized by subject — i.e., Cooking, Kids, Travel), Taintor admits that she’s still surprised by her own success.

“I just think I was lucky,” she says, tucking her legs beneath her on the couch. “It’s still really amazing to me.”

Shy and smiling, Taintor recalls that at first, it was “hard for me to wrap my head around selling things — that wasn’t what my family did.” They were officebound professionals, she explains, whose unique vocabularies and erudite conversational style certainly influenced her Continued on p 10

way with words.

But these days she’s more comfortable as a work-from-home business owner.

“I love being in charge of my own time,” she says, although it’s not all breezy brainstorming. “I’m still learning how to be a boss — that’s not easy for me. I’m learning to listen to myself and not make decisions by committee. Balancing caution and boldness is hard.”

So is balancing edginess with restraint, a fine line that can sometimes be difficult to locate. For example, during the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke-“Slut” incident of 2012, Taintor dug up an old design: a group of fancily dressed co-eds socializing at a party, with the caption (next to a girl in pink), I enjoy being a slut.

The image caused such a stir (generating a 50-comment, heated debate on Facebook, for one thing) that Taintor addressed the subject on her blog. “No . . . the design was not inspired by Mr. Limbaugh or by the current brouhaha,” she wrote. “It was inspired, as is so much of my work, by frustration with self-satisfied gender-stereotyping misogynistic blowhards.

By frustration with men whose sense of their own strength is predicated upon their ability to control women, particularly, it seems, their sexuality.”

The episode caused her to realize (with some amount of surprise) “how conservative some of my fans are.

[My products] give them a way to snigger a little without having to say it out loud.”

And if her work has any overriding message or purpose, it is just that — giving women the freedom to say, Phew, someone else feels like I do.

“I grew up with a fairly big chip on my shoulder early on about being a girl,” Taintor says, describing what she saw as limited horizons (as a child, she expressed desire to become a priest and was devastated to learn that path was not an option). But she is grateful to have channeled those frustrations in a way that is “humorous instead of angry.”

Staying power

Camden photojournalist Samantha Appleton has documented everything from President Barack Obama playing pool (yes, that iconic image) to aerial bombings in Lebanon to troops on patrol in Baghdad, Iraq. The longtime conflict photographer, who also served as an official White House photographer from 2008 to 2011, will receive the MWF’s Sarah Orne Jewett award, given to “a Maine woman who exhibits the attributes of the women in Jewett’s works of fiction: true grit, independence, courage, humor, and discipline.”

Appleton, who has frequently headed toward places from which others were fleeing, has surely demonstrated all these qualities.

Her photos are quiet and strong, with staying power —they truly capture a moment. This is a style she’s cultivated over the years.

One of her personal favorites is a photo she took of a group of men playing dominos in a tea house in Amara, Iraq.

The image is shadowy and, at first glance, unremarkable.

But a deeper look reveals such different expressions on the men’s faces: hopefulness, fear, anger, and more. In that moment, Appleton saw an accurate reflection of the country she had gotten to know.

“Iraq to me is a very complicated, complex place where you never really know what’s going on,” she says. “So the photo, I thought, summed up my experience there — what looked simple is very complex.”

Currently at work shooting migrant laborers in Florida, Appleton will no longer take assignments in dangerous, conflict-ridden regions. The 2011 deaths in Libya of photojournalists (and friends) Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros “affected me tremendously,” Appleton says.

But while her latest project may take her to a slightly safer locale, it’s no less historically relevant. “This is an international story and very much an American story,” she says of the plight of undocumented immigrants.

“It’s the absolute oldest American story. The parallels between what these laborers are doing and what all of our ancestors did is astounding.”

No matter her assignment, Appleton is

‘Photographing the way that decisions were made . . . was very inspiring and very hard.’

Samantha Appleton

constantly seeking to put her work into a larger context. It was no different when she was photographing Barack and Michelle Obama on the 2008 campaign trail and then in the White House.

“It was an amazing experience because I really saw the other side of the work I’d been doing,” she says. “To be photographing the way that decisions were made, or the President trying to advocate for these policies. . . . it was very inspiring and very hard.” But still, she always considered that job “a little reward for all the tough stuff I’d done before.”

esteem, Julia Bluhm, Maya Brown, and Izzy Labbe helped convince Seventeen magazine to portray women and girls more accurately in its popular publication — and in the process, they helped call attention to a media culture that promotes insidious and unrealistic female ideals. Winners of this year’s MWF Samantha Smith award, the girls continue to blog about body-image issues at sparksummit.com, and speak widely (and quite eloquently — check out Bluhm and Labbe’s December 2012 TEDxWomen talk) about the impact of media messages on young women (and men).

It’s been just over a year since Bluhm (then in eighth grade) created a Change. org petition calling on Seventeen “to commit to printing one unaltered — real — photo spread per month. I want to see regular girls that look like me in a magazine that’s supposed to be for me.” The petition, which was eventually signed by more than 84,000 people, combined with a video and blogging campaign spearheaded by Brown and Labbe, led to Seventeen printing an eight-point “Body Peace Treaty” in which it recommitted to not Photoshopping girls’ faces and body shapes in editorial content (they still digitally alter things like blemishes or errant bra straps).

“I feel proud of myself, and SPARK, and how far we’ve gotten,” says Bluhm, who is finishing up her freshman year at Waterville High School and counts teenage style icon and activist Tavi Gevinson as one of her role models. But there’s much more to come. “There’s a lot more stuff that I’m going to do.” ^

Illumination: A Young People’s Encyclopedia of Wonder, and performs selections of songs and theater works from this weekend’s slate of performances. 7 pm at USM’s Abromson Center, 88 Bedford St. in Portland. (See also our theater listings for stagings in Portland and Brunswick.)

STUDY SESSION | A consortium of activists collect over a good idea: an autonomous, grassroots, community hiv/ aids study group. They convene tonight to discuss strategies and structure, but it’s looking like an every-Thursday-night free school type thing, with a horizontal structure that allows different participants to facilitate each week. The inaugural meeting is at Possible Studio, 155 Brackett St. in Portland, at 7:30 pm, though subsequent meetings might be at the holistic wellness center Justice in the Body.

CONCEIVABLE | And at Rose Contemporary comes a nontraditional staging of Our Late Night, penned in the ’70s by the venerable theater practitioner Wallace Shawn. Produced by Lorem Ipsum, a theater company that includes this writer and fellow Phoenician Deirdre Fulton.

Through May 25 at 7:30 pm, $5 at 492 Congress St.

HEAT-SEEKER | The folk songwriter eric Bettencourt and his honeywine voice has returned to us for the summer months from Austin, Texas, where he reportedly penned almost two albums’ worth of new material. If you’re moved by hopeful, heart-on-sleeve ballads written with jam sensibility and the spectral presence of Janis Joplin, see him at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress St., at 7 pm. $12. 207.775.5568.

saturday 18 ADULTHOOD | Last we heard tickets to the iron & Wine show were nearing extinction. The moniker of Samuel Beam, his new record Ghost On Ghost is a looser, dare I say cheerier affair that seems fully removed from the indie production that once defined him. It makes sense.

The Little Fest features staged readings of worksin-progress for up-and-coming Maine playwrights, and this year features scripts by Tom Coash, Ian MacAllister-McDonald, and Joe Waechter. Running in repertory all week with each being staged today; you might take particular interest in The Vikings of Munjoy Hill, Ian MacAllister-McDonald’s play, which dramatizes the reunion of a 21-year old heavy metal singer with her estranged mother. The Little Festival begins again at 12:30 at the Portland Stage Company Studio Theater, 25A Forest Ave. Each show $13. 207.774.0465.

f Jay nash trio, at Stone Mountain Arts Center, in Brownfield on May 17. thursday 16 BACK TO THE EGG | If you wanted a career as an original rock musician, would it be helpful or harmful to be Paul McCartney’s son?

If Rolling Stone praises your “strong pop hooks,” as they recently did to songwriter James mccartney, what are audiences supposed to do with that information? If you write a song called “Wings of a Lightest Weight” and put it on your latest record — even if it’s an austerely lovely little ballad that doesn’t feature an off-key female singer — how possibly could we

accept it on its own terms? James McCartney’s a fine songwriter, and has carved plenty of distinction from the canonical life of his father, but the fact remains that especially in the information age, music made by sons and daughters of celebrity musicians almost makes up its own genre.

And no matter how good the songs are, that genre always feels much more literary or psychological than musical. Nothing against James McCartney, whose songs are really quite good, but how can seeing him live not seem like a crowd gathering to witness a prince donning the king’s crown? With piano pop artist Jon sandler at

One Longfellow Square, 181 State St. 8 pm, $15-20. 207.761.1757.

She’s mined them for a long and successful career, 12 studio records’ worth, and brings her expertise to the Port City Music Hall, 504 Congress St., at 8 pm. $20-22. 207.499.8990.

PICKING UP THE PEN | It’s the end of the semester everywhere, but no one parties quite like Telling Room students. At “Big night 2013,” this year’s class unveils the publication of a new anthology of personal writings titled

POST-FOOTBALL | For many, the emotional honesty available in a song runs deeper than what could be expressed in conversation. This feels true for kWesi kankam, the Philadelphia folk pop artist, who abandoned a college football scholarship to pursue a career as a songwriter.

His songs are firmly in the coffeehouse vibe, but his ambitions are clearly beyond, and he does a chilling cover of Snoop Lion’s “No Guns Allowed.” Kankam joins isaiah Bennett and the local blues artist samuel James; the latter has achieved an appeal that’s kept him from playing shows this intimate for awhile.

9 pm at Slainte, 24 Preble St. in Portland. 207.828.0900.

DARK EDGES | The folk songwriter Jay Nash released his tenth studio record this week, the thoughtfully mournful Letters from the Lost. The album finds him gracefully moving away from the sad bro-folk of his early work.

Armed with violinist Eliza Moore and Sara Barielles’s drummer Josh Day, Nash’s new songs have a far greater range. On the finer moments, he pushes them toward darkened, throbbing chamber-folk, where their dour notes are much more accessible.

According to Kate Kaminski, organizer of the series and founder of local production company Gitgo Productions, all Bluestocking submissions have to pass something called the Bechdel Test, a gender-bias filter named for feminist cartoonist Alison Bechdel that stipulates that a film (or piece of fiction) must include a) two or more women playing named characters, and b) at least one actual conversation between two or more women about c) a topic other than men.

Sounds simple enough, but no doubt we’d all be surprised to learn the number of films that don’t pass. This Bluestocking is the biggest yet, with films screening at MECA’s Osher Hall (522 Congress St.) at 7 pm and a symposium on the Bechdel Test Sunday at 4.

If you’re familiar with 2010’s breakthrough Certified Copy, which followed two love-weary strangers wandering the streets of Tuscany talking about art until it was no longer clear how well they actually knew one another. This one’s set in Japan, but the director employs a simulacral conceit yet again, blurring the relationship between a prostitute and her john until it begins to challenge the one she has with her actual boyfriend. In rough terms, Kiarostami’s point seems to be that artifice can tell us as much about human relationships as authenticity. Restricted to

‘m. de lauradour’ oil and gouache on cardboard, by henri de toulouse-lautrec, 1897.

art Defining the canon PMa show hiGhliGhts MoMa’s influence _By Ken G re e n l e a f It’s a peculiarly American irony that the same man who basically invented the advertising model for the business of broadcasting radio and later television would have amassed a significant collection of modernist art. The financial ecology generated from Gilligan’s Island and Winston cigarette commercials allowed William S. Paley to own works by major figures of Western art, artists who developed and embodied a set of ideas that changed the way we see things. Low mass culture bought high art.

Paley collected works that ranged from Cézannes made in the 1880s to the lyrical abstraction of Kenneth Noland in the late 1960s, acquiring in the process works by such canonical modernists as Picasso, Matisse, Derain, Miró, and others. The current show at the Portland Museum of Art includes a selection of 62 works by 24 artists from Paley’s collection, most of whom are generally accepted as central to the modernist idea. When Paley died in 1990 his collection went to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the source of this traveling exhibition. The Modern has established, over the years, the defining parameters of the modernist canon.

f

One can sense the footsteps of Alfred Barr in this show, and of the formative years of the Museum of Modern Art in the 1930s and ’40s. Barr was the Modern’s first director starting in 1929, and stayed there in one capacity or another until 1968. He was largely responsible for the outlines of the modernist canon as it has been received in art history in the late 20th century and as it remains, even as the limitations of Barr’s vision have become clearer. Paley was active on the board of the museum, the shape of his collection reflects guidance from Barr and others.

There is no arguing the impressive quality of the works in the this show, nor of the artists’ influence on the whole of Western art. Any group that features works by Cézanne, Picasso, and Matisse is grounded in the best that modernist ideas brought into being. There are five Cézannes, six Matisses, and eight Picassos.

Of the two major Picassos here, one is the accessible and popular “Boy Leading a Horse,” 1905-06. The young Picasso was already gaining fame for his “blue period,” but this is a transitional work,

maintaining the pathos and atmospherics that had marked his precocious career up to that point. This painting, complex but unsurprising, was only a couple of years away from his groundbreaking “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon,” painted perhaps in competitive response to Matisse’s “Le Luxe II,” itself grounded upon Cézanne’s “Large Bathers” (none of which are in this show).

The world was about to change.

You can see where these changes were headed in Picasso’s “The Architect’s Table,” 1912, a high-water mark of analytical cubism. The picture plane was fractured, the artists had finally become the central actors in their own drama, and what had been learned was irreversible. By the time of “The Guitar,” 1919 and “Still Life With Guitar,” 1920, Picasso had settled into a method whose echoes can be seen every day, practically anywhere.

The Matisses here skip from the early, clunky “The Musketeer,” 1903 to a pattern that he settled into in the 1920s that lacked the outward radicalism of some of his really groundbreaking works like “The Red Studio.” Matisse was perhaps more at ease with his method by then, but the foundations of these paintings and all his subsequent work demonstrate his emphasis on the spatial attributes of color and the radical nature of his drawing. “Odalisque With a Tambourine,” 1925-26, is a highly sophisticated and coherent confluence of structure and hue.

Picasso loved being an artist and was always good at it. Matisse worked tirelessly at mastering his work with patience and direction. Together they were two of the finest artists of the 20th century, and these works present a chance see why.

Matisse and Picasso both looked to Paul Cézanne, and if we look carefully we can see why they did.

‘bridge over the riou’ oil on canvas by andré Derain, 1906.

Lost 67 pounds! ‘milk can and appleS’ oil on canvas by Paul cézanne, 1879-80, shows aspects of the artist’s early efforts to deconstruct and reassemble the objects he was painting.

Two of the five Cézannes here have the characteristics of his best and most influential work in its early phases. “Milk Can and Apples,” 1879-80, and “L’Estaque,” 1879-83, take the subjects apart and reassemble them in ways that he attempted again and again, bringing to his task a particular idea about how we really see.

The space is deep and distant in the land-

scape “L’Estaque,” and the cloth and fruit in the other painting are tangible, almost beyond real. But a close look shows there is no real vanishing point, no classical lines of composition, no modeling as it was known at that time. Lights, darks, and colors are inherently inartistic, but there is solid reality here, seeing without preconceptions. Matisse and Picasso both looked to Cézanne, and if we look at these two works carefully we can see why.

I’ve lingered over these three artists because they formed the world we know now, but there is much else to enjoy.

We get a good look at Georges Rouault, a couple of surprisingly funny and irreverent Henri de Toulouse-Lautrecs, and a wonderful little work on paper by Georges Braque, “Still Life on a Mantelpiece,” 1920.

Few artists could draw with the facility and grace of Degas. There are three drawings here, “Portrait of a Woman” and “The Jockey,” both 1866-68 in his earlier, gentler mood. The big charcoal “Two Dancers,” 1905, is skilled but unsettling, almost angry.

There are four Paul Gauguin works, one from this period in Arles, “Washerwomen,” 1888, and three others from his famous later sojourn in Tahiti. Gauguin is an example of an artist who was included early into the canon and remains there, but it is hard to see why. There is not much in these pictures to change that view.

There’s an odd painting that doesn’t fit here, as if Paley were kicking over the traces of Alfred Barr’s demanding criteria.

“Industry’s Increase,” 1933, by John Kane, is a particularly artless piece of work that one almost feels sorry for, surrounded as it is by its betters.

A good place to finish a walk in this show is with the three little Vuillards near the exit. For a couple of lessons in painting (or looking at painting) see “The Green Lamp,” 1893, for how to tell a lot with a little. See “The Window,” 1894, for how to fit everything you need to know about a space into a small package. ^

filling uP with Putnam Smith After about the fifth listen of Putnam Smith’s fourth album, Kitchen, Love . . ., the Grizzly Adams flashbacks kick in. While there’s no reason to believe Smith’s been accused of a crime he didn’t commit, it’s probably safe to say he’s down with the idea of escaping into the High Sierras and living almost exclusively among the trees and animals.

Heck, the dude wishes he could trade places with Emily Dickinson. His raspy, justabove-an-exhale voice sits on top of chiming mandolin and a bit of glockenspiel as he pines, “Oh to be, Emily Dickinson/A few good books to keep me company/Bake some pie and fold the laundry/Write down some words that no one will see.”

That’s commitment right there. The woman was ready to give it all up just to save a fainting robin. Maybe that’s a little out there, commitment-wise, for some people.

Not Smith, though. In for a penny, he’s in for a pound, especially adept at arranging a variety of acoustic instruments and backing singers into songs that capture the escapist zeitgeist of a time seeming to run parallel to the present day, where folks can focus intently on making a fine succotash and writing epistolary novels and without worrying about getting the kids to Little League practice or making it from Job A to Job B thanks to the kindness of a friend with a car that actually works.

Four albums in, and Smith is still hand-printing the CD sleeves, still making sure to note that he’s willing to barter his discs for a good meal or some fire-

f

wood. Is it a good thing or not that the price of an album wouldn’t get you all the way through a night’s fire, nowadays?

On the one hand, that album’s not worth much. On the other, it seems like the deal of a lifetime when you consider how quickly those logs go up in smoke.

The only addition Smith does seem to have made over time is that of some musical friends. Fiddler Erica Brown is probably most prominent here, with a Nashville flair of descending riffs in “Succotash” that teams with Smith’s percussive clawhammer banjo style and is well balanced by Seth Yentes’s grounding cello work. Then she revisits some of those phrases in the ultra-trad “New Shoes,” where Pete Morse at Red Vault Recording has managed to make Smith’s banjo in the open sound nothing short of fucking amazing. Make sure you play this through some good speakers in a big room. You could subsist on some of these notes.

Lest you think this is just another stringband record, though, listen for the pianofronted pieces, like “Looking Up,” where Smith is buffeted by trumpet (Alan King), trombone (Jeff Ertman), and even a little French horn (Caitlin Ramsey) in a song that could probably be featured prominently on Sesame Street.

The culmination of all this collaboration, though, is “The Stars Will Line up Someday,” which opens sparely with just Smith, guitar, and some cello before opening up into what would be a simply huge chorus if done by a radio rock band, swelling with Sorcha’s harmony vocals, and

delivering real emotional rise. By the finish, there is building action with Zak Trajoano’s drums, a lilt of soprano sax from Brad Yoder, and a solid sense of wonder: “And though your bed is cold/And your wallet’s thin/And you still have made a good friend/ The city’s so alive.”

True, you have to indulge Smith at times. The songs tend to run on longer than they need to. He on more than one occasion rhymes “corn” with “morn’.” “Cast Iron Pan” is the kind of jokey gimmick song that made my want SOme? Putnam Smith cooks up a delicious disc. wife pick her head up and say, “What song is this? This under three minutes, it is delicately crisp is ridiculous.” and well executed.

When he’s on, though, he delivers real If nothing else, Smith just shows such depth of feeling. “The Artist up on the Hill” great care for the crafting of these songs. is a nostalgia-fueled narrative that recalls the Nothing seems rushed or tossed off, and the Summer of Love and Neil Young’s autobiogattention to tone and precision makes for a raphy. “Paris in June” is another piano piece great listen in the headphones. Got yourself that captures that city beautifully and mana cabin for a few days up by Rangeley? This is ages to make being jealous of Thoreau not your disc. But it will probably work on a Portsound indulgently idealistic (plus, there’s a land streetcorner, too, if you’ve got yourself scrap of Gillian Welch’s “Tennessee” thrown some imagination. ^ in at the finish).

But the release, titled VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV and dubbed onto the a-sides of old pop and country cassettes, really does diverge in crucial ways. acid Smoker’s tracks are less concerned with rhythm as an animating factor, and so their energy comes from the wealth of timbres battling each other for attention. lots of found sounds wriggle into the mix, particularly on “take a look,” when a sample of a child’s voice is looped into a sort of hypnotic nursery rhyme. and “phone Feed” is like a punk song

Coke Weed mapped out with stabbing synth lines and a chintzy drum machine, over which the vocals soar higher than ever. a noisy effort for sure, but not at all punishing. VVV... trades in some

recognizable lo-fi pop forms and manages to twist out a few new ideas as well. check it out at acidsmoker.bandcamp.com.

F the Bar harbor psych-rock band Coke Weed dropped a new single this week, the first for their forthcoming record Back to Soft, expected this summer. it’s called “Blue Flag,” and foretells good times ahead for the group’s third effort. like many of their songs, “Blue Flag” rides a sleepy, stonerish riff, with nina d.’s dreamy vocals hovering somewhere between serene and creepy. that formula can sometimes lead a song to nowhere, but not so with “Blue Flag,” the vibe of which contains a strange urgency often absent from their early recordings. nina’s vocals have never been stronger, and the video perfectly captures the song’s mesmerizing, slow-burn inten-

sity. looking forward to hearing the rest.

F an incredible crop of metal, crust punk, doom, and otherwise heavy bands turn up on a nasty new comp out of Boston titled SealbeardS, named after a diy venue that was shut down last fall. the digital-only collection contains an original track each from 50 different artists — among them Maine groups eastern spell, paige turner, and Heavy BreatHing — which makes it pretty hard to ignore. is this the definitive state of the union for noxious new england thrash? perhaps. Without a central venue, the SealbeardS collective still book shows at various locations around Boston, which has a long and proud history of scenes just like this. Visit sealbeards.bandcamp.com.

From hiking and camping gear, to flower pots and yard art, Goodwill stores have your spring needs covered.

Even better, shopping at Goodwill creates jobs, reduces landfills and puts clothes on your neighbor’s back.

Now that’s a lot of spring action creating a healthy, sustainable community where nothing goes to waste. Not a shirt.

Not a shoe. Not a person.

Goodwill.

Work that works for you.

Blue rooster goes high-end informal

The food trucks are beginning to descend upon us. Cities have found various ways to deal with the hordes.

New York regulates them unreasonably, but enforces selectively to get what they like where they like it. In Oregon they shove all the trucks into one block.

Whatever approach we manage to sort out here in Portland, being stuck in a truck all day is going to be a big enough pain in the ass that everyone in a food truck will dream of wowing the masses, making it big, and moving up to an actual storefront.

If they want to know what that will be like, they should check out the new Blue Rooster Food Company. Blue Rooster has gotten this sort of high-end informal food right by going the other way — the chef left New York’s highly regarded Bar Boulud to start this new low-end venture in the Old Port. It’s low-end in the sense that the menu focuses on sandwiches, dogs, chips, and fries — but it’s not humble. Blue Rooster takes ingredients seriously even as the tone is informal and playful — just like the mythical great food truck.

The space suits the venture well — a ring of blue counter-tops in a smallish red space, in front of a big open kitchen.

FShort Takes xxx Like SOMeOne in LOve 109 Min | Japanese | pMa Movies A decent little movie, but hardly a major one, from Iran’s master filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, who, self-exiled, here shoots in Tokyo with an all-Japanese cast.

Akiko (Rin Takanashi), a college student by day, leads a deceptive night life as a call girl, lying to her boyfriend about where she is and what she does.

Guilt-ridden, she can’t bring herself to meet with her loving grandmother, who comes to Tokyo for one day to see her. But there might be some kind of salvation when her pimp sends her for an engagement with an aging retired college professor (Tadashi Okuno), who, instead of bedding Akiko, prepares her dinner and treats her with benevolence. It’s a good setup, and the actors are personable; but there’s too much inconsequential talk, a sometimes

It encourages stand-up eating, or even curb-sitting out front, and the group standing together waiting for their order or scarfing their food feel like they are part of something — especially, one imagines, at 2 am on weekends — again food-truck style. A huge chalkboard overhead lists what is on offer.

The sandwich of the day was a bahn mi, and it was a good one. The baguette had a great crispy crust and the soft interior soaked up a thin and zingy sour mayo. it was filled with thick slices of a red- hued pâté with a bit of meaty texture and lots of sweetness. Some country ham added saltiness, diced carrot more sweet, and the celery root more sour and crunchy texture. But $9 for bahn mi just seems wrong when Kim’s does it well for $3.

The rest of the menu, though, costs no more than the typical Portland sandwich (around $7) and tastes a good deal better. Many of the details are fantastic, like pickling the yellow tomatoes on the porcetta sandwich, which brings out its fruitiness (and its grapefruit color) even as it adds some sour. A sweet-salty pork belly, with a nice crispy edge, was stuffed with a spicy, juicy sausage. All the richness was cut by some sharpness

phlegmatic pace, and a frustratingly abrupt ending. Also, is it a coincidence that the stooped professor is called Mr. Watanabe, the name of Akira Kurosawa’s bent-back elderly hero in the masterly Ikiru (1952)?

111 Min | french | railroad square If you love the paintings of Auguste Renoir or the films of his son Jean, there’s a good chance you’ll sit through this slowmoving prestige item about their common infatuation with Catherine Hessling, who began as Auguste’s nude model and wound up as Jean’s wife and lead actress. It’s rather depressing, given Renoir pere’s history of turning his models into lovers and/or maids and Hessling’s private life of kinky sex and fin de siecle night spots.

Jean has just returned from

fighting in World War I, and the scenes about his battlefront trauma are by far the most interesting, especially in relation to his classic war film Grand Illusion (there’s even a maimed officer with a monocle in one scene). Gilles Bourdos directed his own script, adapting a memoir by Jean’s nephew Jacques Renoir.

between the characters’ snappy dialogue and their unspoken feelings of ennui, disappointment, and despair. This may explain why, transposed to the screen, Gatsby tends to become the very thing it abhors: a wild, loud party. The hyperbolic Australian director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!) is exactly the wrong person to adapt such a delicately rendered story, and his feature plays like a ghastly Roaring 20s blowout at a sorority house. Leonardo DiCaprio is typically fine in the title role, grasping the deep insecurity that forces Gatsby to worship his lost love, Daisy, from a mansion across Long Island Sound, but Tobey Maguire is too ingratiating to play Nick Carraway, the story’s actual protagonist, who’s enticed by the endless carousing at Gatsby’s mansion but still rooted in the midwestern values the other characters have abandoned as hopelessly passe.

I’m writing to express my disappointment in what I feel was unprofessional, not to mention lopsided, journalism on the Portland Phoenix’s part in the recent article you published May 3, on union labor (see “Hanging Tough,” by Nicholas Schroeder). Not only was I contacted (emailed, not called) for comments on the State Theatre within less than 24 hours of the article’s deadline, there was apparently no-fact checking on the Phoenix’s behalf regarding anything that was reported on the labor situation at the State Theatre.

To address what was misreported in the article: The State Theatre pays a $50 flat rate for each call. There are three possible calls per show: load in call, load out call and show (or spot) call. If a stagehand works three calls then he or she takes home $150+ for what is on average a seven- eight- hour shift. Typically this works out to $18-20 an hour, but more often than not our hands make around $20-25 an hour. We base our flat rate on a four-hour call time; however, the typical State Theatre call time is two hours. This flat rate was established to ensure that our hands can make a good, part-time wage, which, although it is based on a four-hour minimum, is paid even if an employee works only one hour. As well, I understand that rigging is a dangerous and specialized job, and riggers at the State Theatre (as is Corey Anderson) make much more than the $12.50 stated in the article.

Your reporter’s statement that, “The State, by contrast, pays Anderson a flat $50 per job, regardless of its duration.

Most jobs there are under four hours, but they could conceivably go as long as eight — with no extra money for the longer job” is completely false. But I guess that’s why the word “conceivably” was chosen. Bad choice.

The State Theatre does not take an assessment of any of our employees’ wages. None of my employees’ wages goes toward paying anyone’s salary or is assessed go toward dues, as do union wages. What we pay at the State goes straight into our employees’ pockets.

Our employees don’t think it’s necessary to pay someone else’s salary or any dues to an outside organization to demand the things they are already receiving internally — a safe working environment, fair wages, and a chance to have input in the company.

As has always been our position at the State, should an employee want to join Local 114 in order to make a fulltime living at stagehand work, that’s fine with us. But at the State Theatre we offer part-time work for 80 or so shows per year so that our employees

employee is continuously irresponsible, or makes an unsafe decision while on the job, or endangers another employee, we have the right to make sure they don’t return to the job.

State Theatre stagehand employees voted in February on whether to become represented by IATSE. Workers actually voted against it 15-10, not 13-9 as reported. It’s also interesting to note that of those 10 people who voted to unionize the room — all are union card or permit holders and eight of them have worked no more than 12 shows for the State Theatre within one calendar year.

Of the 15 who voted to not unionize, 15 worked 20 or more shows within the same timeframe. This is pretty telling of how we treat our core employees at the State, and very telling on how much our core employees respect each other.

An empowered employee is an employee whose voice is heard within their company, through all levels of management, regardless if that employee holds

Thank you for the story “Unions in Maine” (by Deirdre Fulton, May 3). Yes, while there is some hope, it is still a struggle for the middle class in general and unions in particular, to not just thrive, but even to exist, in the current extremist political climate in this country today. As a dues-paying member of the Communications Workers of America, I am appalled at the way workers are being treated. Driven by the Koch brothers-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Chamber of Commerce, the Tea Party, and antiworker governors such as Scott Walker from Wisconsin and our own Governor Paul LePage, unions are attempting to hold their own in a time like no other in recent memory.

The opening salvo from LePage on unions here in Maine was his unannounced removal of a piece of artwork last year from the Maine Department of Labor office. In a clandestine and surreal act, LePage had a mural depicting famous labor moments and workers in history (like Rosie the Riveter) boxed up and hauled away to a secret location at taxpayers expense. After losing the battle to bring back the mural in the courts, citizens finally were able to persuade LePage to move the mural to a museum.

More concrete evidence of LePage’s disdain of unions and workers is found in his opposition to increasing the minimum wage, his recent meeting with Governor Walker in Washington, his negative remarks on a Project Labor Agreement for the Kennebec Natural Gas project mentioned in your article, and his close alliance with ALEC, which was also exposed by investigative work from your publication (see “LePage’s Koch Brothers Connection Revealed,”

by Colin Woodard, September 9, 2011).

The governor has tried to roll back wage and tip-sharing laws to more closely align with weaker federal laws, sought to repeal a ban on strikebreakers, and tried to eliminate unemployment benefits for strikers. Ouch.

This is not “Open For Business,” but “Closed For Compensation.” He must be watched carefully in his remaining time in office lest he have us all saying, “Would you like fries with that”?

Virgo, cancer, capricorn, and pisces: you’ll be attracted to folks who need a lot of attention. is this good for you?

Waxing moon in leo. Fire sign moons prompt excitement, arguments, or “discussions,” depending on your perspective. leo moons bring opportunities to indulge your childish side or get a radical haircut that shows your fierceness (incredible how Sagittarian tyra Banks totally coopted that word, isn’t it?). leo, Sagittarius, aquarius, libra, and Gemini: you won’t be happy with the status quo. taurus, Virgo, capricorn, Scorpio, pisces, and cancer: others may try to snow you. remind them that’s out of season.

can pursue other interests and lines of work. Most of the stagehands who work with us at the State have other jobs and interests including touring as musicians, sound and recording engineers, tour managers, filmmakers, and so forth. The State Theatre offers the flexibility for employees to leave and go on tour, or take a recording session, or go work on another project — and their job is here waiting for them when they return. This is job security. I’m not very familiar with many other companies or unions who offer this.

It’s also interesting to note that the article doesn’t bring up that in a union, seniority is king. We don’t believe that just because you have a union card for 20 years you should automatically be given a job, or have first dibs at a job, especially if you do not perform job responsibilities according to State Theatre standards, which are high. We promote on merit. And likewise, if an

Waxing moon in libra. When the moon is in the sign of partnership, strange bedfellows could turn up — but so could the perfect match. and libra is in that rare zone called “decisiveness.” So is aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius, taurus, and leo. capricorn, aries, and cancer: avoid taking action; wait until moon moves into Scorpio (tomorrow evening). Scorpio, pisces, and Virgo: find a tune, and then stay in harmony with it. Safer that way.

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.
