from consumer advocacy to convergence Ralph Nader sees a growing right-left consensus on issues like corporate welfare and the minimum wage.

this Just in Washington report

Left-right convergence — really?

During the past year Republican lawmakers in Maine and in Congress have stymied attempts by Democrats to raise the minimum wage. Democrats argue for decency: it’s impossible for workers to get by on $7.25 an hour (the federal minimum) or $7.50 (the state minimum).

Shenna Bellows, Maine’s Democratic United States Senate candidate, has made raising the federal minimum to $10.10 (supported by President Obama) a major plank in her platform. Her Republican adversary, incumbent Susan Collins, has opposed such a hike, but has also said she’s open to compromise.

Led locally by Governor Paul LePage, Maine and national Republicans argue that requiring companies to pay people more will force them to lay off workers. But recently there’s been a break in GOP ranks.

Nationally, support has emerged for a minimum-wage increase on solid-Republican, business-friendly grounds.

This divergence was a big topic at an unusual conference on political convergence in Washington, DC, on May 27. “Unstoppable: A Gathering on Left-Right Conver-

f

gence,” sponsored by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, featured 26 prominent liberal and conservative leaders discussing issues on which they shared positions. One was the minimum wage.

Ron Unz, former publisher of The American Conservative, told the 100 attendees, via Skype, that raising the minimum to a high-enough level would encourage people to work, shrink dependence on welfare, generate income-tax revenue, and provide “less incentive for businesses to hire illegal workers.” In California, Unz is pushing a ballot measure to raise the minimum to $12 an hour.

He noted that former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney recently came out for an increase, as have Romney’s 2012 primary rivals Tim Pawlenty and Rick Santorum and conservative television commentator Bill O’Reilly.

Other positions on which left- and rightwing panelists stood together included: F Wall Street crime and misdeeds. It was not lost on the gathering that both Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party were infuriated that federal authorities protected the too-big-tofail banks after the 2008 financial crisis they

caused. Describing another attitude toward corporate wrongdoing, Zachary Kitts, a Virginia lawyer, gave details of his work representing whistleblowers against companies defrauding federal or state governments.

F Civil liberties and privacy. Marc Rotenberg, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, cited how conservatives and liberals worked together to get x-ray body scanners removed from airports. Heidi Boghosian, of the lefty National Lawyers Guild, described nonpartisan efforts “to debunk the government and corporate line that surveillance makes us safer.”

F Corporate welfare. Greg LeRoy, of Good Jobs First, a critic of state economic-development giveaways, told of groups in Arizona with contrasting political complexions fighting for more transparency from that state’s business-development agencies.

Pete Sepp, of the conservative National Taxpayers Union, spoke against agribusiness subsidies.

F International trade. Moderating this panel, Nader described how the embrace of freetrade agreements by the “corporate Clintons” and “corporate Bushes” resulted in “the

greatest loss of sovereignty in our nation’s history” because of priority in the treaties given to corporate profits over American law.

Judson Phillips, of Tea Party Nation, said the secretly negotiated agreements run “roughshod” over the Constitution.

Nader optimistically saw a broad opposition coalescing to the other — and dominant — right-left convergence: the corporategovernment elite. The conference’s title “Unstoppable” is also the title of Nader’s new book, subtitled: “The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State.”

But the most famous conservative who spoke, anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist, was modest in expectation. He agreed that right and left could work together on certain causes, but cautioned that cooperation should not be confused with the sacrifice of principles or the abandonment of partisanship.

In an election year in Maine dominated by sharply polarized rhetoric, partisanship is unlikely to be abandoned on the issue of the minimum wage — or on other issues. Cooperation and convergence seem far, far away.

#uSmFuture

Faculty senate plan would save usm over $5 million On May 29, the University of Southern Maine faculty senate took a bold step in the #USMfuture saga, revealing an alternative budget proposal for the 2014-15 fiscal year with countermeasures that push against the austerity program enacted as a result of UMaine’s systemwide budget crisis. The proposal fulfilled the faculty senate’s end of negotiations with USM President Theodora Kalikow, who agreed to hear alternate proposals for saving the $1.26 million in expenses that would have resulted from retrenching 14 faculty in Arts and Humanities departments, whose positions were restored in late March in response to protests.

In a lengthy statement, the committee observed discrepancies between the institutional conception of a “metropolitan university” (as defined by the “21st Century Declaration” of the national organization Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities — of which USM recently became a member) and the recent actions taken by the UMS Board of Trustees: “...(W)hile the Board highlighted the visual and performing arts as one of USM’s distinctive features, the Provost cut faculty from Theater. While it stressed entrepreneurship, he reduced the Economics department by a third. It chanted ‘location, location, location’ as President Kalikow proposed eliminating Northern New England’s sole graduate program devoted to

f

the interdisciplinary study of this location’s history, people, and culture (American and New England Studies). As it called for emphasis on science, she proposed eliminating Geosciences.

“This suggests what is actually envisioned for USM is more limited and parochial. In other words...its core function (is) specifically whatever directly champions economic growth, itself narrowly conceived in terms of profit and jobs.”

Following upon Kalikow’s stipulation that any cuts in the budget proposal must come from academic programs, the faculty senate then outlined their detailed plan to save a minimum of $5,095,943 over the next fiscal year, identifying more than $1.6 million in savings from voluntary faculty retirements by August 2015 (and an additional $.5 million by August 2016).

Having more than satisfied the $1.26 million figure it was asked to offset, the proposal went further, addressing the dwindling faculty resources and widening administrative bloat that has defined the crises across national institutions of public higher education. It recommended a 20 percent reduction in spending for non union-represented administrative personnel earning more than $80,000, and a 10 percent reduction for those earning be-

tween $60,000 and $80,000 (the proposal suggests that such savings need not necessarily come in individual pay cuts but in reductions across the board). And it called for a reduction in USM’s contribution toward system-wide cost sharing, noting that its $5.673 million payment back into the system is “very high relative to USM’s share of total expenditures net of shared services.”

The proposal addresses dwindling faculty resources and administrative bloat.

Among comparatively smaller reductions in administrative costs (in areas like memberships, cell phones, and energy), the committee estimated the additional savings at nearly $3 million.

In a formal response sent to faculty on May 30 (and obtained by the Phoenix), President Kalikow wrote that she would give the alternative proposal “serious consideration” before submitting a budget “that closes the $14 million gap in FY 2015” to the Chancellor’s Office by June 16. Kalikow acknowledged the recent decision by UMS Chancellor Rebecca Wyke and the system Board of Trust-

ees to “plug $7 million of that $14 million gap using one-time money from the University System’s Budget Stabilization Fund.” Between that and the $4.5 million saved from measures taken earlier in the year, the remaining figure totals $2.5 million.

But as the alternative budget committee of the faculty senate pushes for greater transparency within the university system budget, some within the system continue to challenge how the USM budget crisis originated. An analysis of finances recently compiled by USM economics professor Susan Feiner (using information available on the system website) suggests that USM may be getting a disproportionately small amount of system resources. In 2013, USM was allocated just over $41.5 million in state appropriation, or 18.6 percent of the total $222.6 million for the whole system.

By comparison, the University of Maine in Orono campus received more than twice as much -- over $87 million, or 39 percent, despite conferring roughly the same number of degrees (2,012 for UMO; 2,019 for USM).

Economics professor Rachel Bouvier, one of the faculty whose position was eliminated before being restored this spring, suggested that investments be made in software programs that could track the public institution finances and “allow us to link costs and revenues effectively (across the system).”

in Layman’s terms

politics + other mistakes The old switcheroo Republican Governor Paul LePage announced today that he’d solved all the problems associated with both the secret effort to move the Maine National Guard’s 133rd Engineer Battalion out of state and the $1 million consultant’s report on Maine’s welfare system that featured large sections that were plagiarized.

LePage said he’s placing the National Guard in charge of ferreting out welfare fraud and asking the copy-happy consultant to develop a plan to restructure the Guard.

Under this deal, National Guard troops will be posted to all stores that accept Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, to make certain that poor people use them only to purchase approved products. While members of this force will be heavily armed, they’ll be instructed to use their weapons only in cases where cheaters attempt to purchase alcohol or tobacco or make campaign contributions to Democrats.

Meanwhile, the Alexander Group, the conservative consultant that cribbed its welfare report from unattributed sources (including at least one liberal think tank), will be offering suggestions on rearranging the Guard, employing uncredited material from Pentagon plans for winning the war in Afghanistan, random stuff lifted from Wikipedia, and lengthy scenes copped from the script of Apocalypse Now. It’s possible I made up all of the aforementioned, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work. If there’s a steely-eyed dude in camo carrying an assault rifle standing watch, the seedy looking slacker in the checkout line at Hannaford is a lot less likely to attempt to slip through a Bud Light suitcase.

And if the Alexander report recommends switching our engineering battalion for an infantry unit

from Pennsylvania, thereby depriving Maine of a significant resource for coping with natural disasters, it’ll be much easier to reject the idea once the pundits discover that the consultant falsely claimed credit for writing The Ride of the Valkyries.

But why stop there? Flipping one incompetent LePage minion for another might work to solve a variety of heretofore insurmountable problems.

For instance, Mary Mayhew has failed miserably as commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services. But Mayhew’s autocratic style seems ideally suited to the Department of Economic and Community Development. Her campaign against grifters gaming the system for food stamps and general assistance is easily transferable to one aimed at ending corporate welfare. Just think how much easier it’ll be for Mayhew’s recently beefed-up fraud unit to catch companies taking undeserved tax breaks or soaking up research and development grants that don’t produce any new jobs.

Meanwhile, at Mayhew’s old digs, it’s time for somebody who knows how to reverse the effects of decades of entangling legislation to get positive results for her most important constituents. I have no doubt that Patricia Aho, currently the commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection, could bring her expertise to bear on solving the entitlement morass. At DEP, Aho earned a reputation for letting developers, many of them former clients from her days as a lobbyist, run rampant over the rules. Where Mayhew was constantly thwarted by federal regulations and the US Constitution, Aho is inclined to charge ahead shouting, “Waivers? We don’t need no stinkin’ waivers.”

Who replaces her at DEP? The

_ BY DAn A FA Del

answer is obvious. LePage should appoint his sworn enemy, Democratic state senator Troy Jackson, to the post. If Jackson loses the primary for the 2nd Congressional District seat next week, he’ll be looking for a job. And while he and the governor disagree vehemently on labor issues, the two both think bulldozing natural resources in the name of jobs makes sense. Not only does putting Jackson in the governor’s cabinet silence a severe (if inarticulate) critic, but it also makes it tougher for Democrats to attack LePage’s plans, since one of their own will be advocating for them.

On the off chance Jackson wins his primary, his opponent, Democratic state senator Emily Cain, might make an adequate replacement. After all, Cain has always claimed she can work with anyone, even LePage. It would be fun to find out if that’s true.

Of course, the main source of controversy in the LePage administration is the governor himself.

His propensity for making up facts (Maine does not, as he once claimed, have more deaths from heroin overdoses than highway accidents), his tendency to inaccurately recall events (Democrats did not, as he asserted, oppose his bill to ban the use of EBT cards in liquor stores and strip joints), and his inability to engage with legislators to win passage of his initiatives (stepped-up drug enforcement, increased payments to nursing homes) all label him as the least effective advocate for his agenda.

He definitely should switch places.

If only we could find somebody competent who wants his job. ^

no strings attached? “i’ve had a crush on this girl since high school [i am now 23], and its only recently that she’s been wanting to get together and have a sexual relationship with me. this scares me because i’ve never had a purely sexual relationship with anyone, as i’m usually more comfortable being in a relationship where she knows more of who i am and what i like. is there anything i should know before starting a sexual relationship? this isn’t wrong, right?” _DS

f

“obviously there’s not going to be much of an emotional connection, if all she wants is sex. this is just something he’s going to have to come to terms with in his own head — i mean, there’s no school for that, right? So if she’s just going to want sex, he’s going to have to accept it. is she going to have sex with other people, too? Just him? there are variables to it, too. he’s going to have to deal with it or move on. maybe he can have a girlfriend on the side, too, you know?” _Paul, 53, tattoo artist, interviewed at Hallowed Ground “its not a matter of it being a moral issue, but obviously sex is a personal issue for everyone involved. as much as he wants to engage in sexual activity with her, it’s important to know before he has sex with her what he really wants out of it. Because what happens in these types of situations is that one person can’t accept that its just a sexual relationship, and that person is in turn disappointed and hurt. it could turn out that both people could be disappointed and don’t want the same things overall.” _Colleen, 33, yoga teacher, interviewed at Justice in the Body “i just think if he’s emotionally attached, then i don’t know if its a good thing for him. he might get broken hearted. nothing’s impossible, something might happen, he may find out he may not even like her at all. i’ve had just sexual relationships without the emotion, and i love it.” _Bill, 43, laborer, interviewed at Hannaford “he should stay slightly reserved and detached if that’s what he needs. my experience with just purely sexual relationships have been ones that are polyamorous, so you have to be committed to a person in a certain way but knowing that they might have other desires or feelings that are outside the commitment to you. it was a period that was really fun and really perfect...then there is a crashing period where things can come to a head. it didn’t work for me but it can work for other people.” _Margaret, 24, hobbyist, interviewed outside the YMCA Pro’s Advice: “it’s all about communication. it’s the perfect time to really express where he’s at, express what he wants, to ask where she’s at, to ask what she wants. there’s so much possibility for real connection here. Starting out, putting all expectation aside, stating “oh, we’re just gonna have fun” — that’s real connection. if he just comes forward and is genuine and honest... there are these gifts that you get handed in life, and this is one of them. i’ve had one of my best relationships come out of this exact arrangement, and it came about through honest communication and staying in the moment.” _Colin Reid, 34, coach and counseling intern My Advice: if you’ve never had a “purely” sexual relationship before and you’re getting into one where you already have feelings for the person, you’re in for a ton of experiential learning here, dS. First off, no matter how casual the encounters, you should have an open conversation about health, safety, and boundaries before embarking on any sexual relationship. i won’t suggest that you withhold or suppress your feelings for her (“just” having sex doesn’t mean you won’t have emotions) but you need to have a conversation with yourself about what you can actually handle, emotionally. there’s the potential for it to not materialize into something meaningful to you if she in fact doesn’t want anything more than sex. after some time, if you feel the same way about her, ask how she’s feeling about furthering the relationship. i’ll keep my fingers crossed that you both get what you want.

Box of Hope

Her Family

_by gra ce w hit e d

In a tiny village on the western shores of Japan, an origami box is born in the knobby hands of an old Japanese man with a long, white beard and wrinkles beneath his eyes.

He folds the box tenderly beneath the glow of a candle’s light.

The origami box is neon green on the outside with a checkered pink and navy blue pattern inside. Four triangular flaps peek out from the inside, all pointing in the cardinal directions like wings ready to fly. The bottom of the box is flat and about one inch deep, as it must protect its light wherever it may go.

In the deep of the night, the old man carries the box away from his workshop toward the edge of the ocean. Waves lap gently onto the soft sand as he kneels down onto the shore. The old man’s wife, a petite but strong woman, appears behind him, a lit candle cupped in her hands. Gradually, more people appear onto the beach, one by one.

Once a year, the people of the small village come to the shore bearing origami boxes to honor the loved ones they have lost. The candle that is placed in the center of the box represents each bygone soul. The elderly couple comes to honor the daughter they lost fifty years ago from a sickness that took her life when she was only seven.

The old man’s wife kneels down beside him, placing the candle inside the box.

Along the shoreline, the others do the same. Then the villagers release their own tiny boxes into the ocean, candlelight glowing at their centers.

Together they stand, linking hands and watching the flicker of the candlelight float away with the tide. Eventually, when the boxes carry the light of the candles out of sight, the people of the tiny village disperse without a word. Along with their origami boxes, the villagers have released the sadness and regret that came from their losses, and replaced them with hope.

The old man’s box is carried away from the seas of Japan and lands on the soft, white sands of a distant shore where a young girl with shattered dreams for the future finds it.

Her parents have recently divorced, and she blames herself for their separation.

The girl wonders every day if she could have done something to keep them together.

Her father, noticing she has seemed dis-

_by tessa h o lbro o k

traught lately, has taken her on a vacation.

The young girl is walking along the beach when a flash of neon green in a tangle of seaweed catches her eye. Kneeling down, the girl scoops up the box ever so gently.

The candle has long since burnt out and the paper has been damaged by the elements, but she still thinks it is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. Balancing the tiny box in her hands, the little girl is amazed that it has come so far. The origami box is so tiny, so fragile, yet it has still has found its way to her. The little girl believes that if the tiny box could survive its journey, although battered and a little damaged, she can survive the hardships she is going through.

Standing up, the box nestled in her hands, the young girl faces the rising sun with a new sense of bravery in her heart.

Spinning around, the Grace little girl runs back to Whited the beach house she and her father are staying in.

Throwing open the front door, the origami box still clutched in her hand, the little girl confronts her father. After the girl tearfully admits she blames herself for the separation, her father assures her it was not her fault, and the little girl could have done nothing to help it.

It takes a few months and an abundance of reassurance from her parents until the girl comes to accept the fact that she could do nothing to keep her parents together. Although the little girl no longer feels the need for the box, she keeps it by her side everywhere she goes. Eventually, she grows up and falls in love. She and her beloved are happily wedded, and after a few years she has a son.

The little boy is crippled, paralyzed from the waist down. His heart is frail and does not work properly. He spends his days in a clean, white hospital room, his wheelchair by the window, an IV in his arm. The little boy watches happy children walk down the street outside his window. He curses his crippled legs, scratching them until they bleed.

The time comes for hope, and his mother hands him the origami box. The little boy is overjoyed. Since he has no friends who will visit him and he is incapable of leaving the hospital, this tiny box is the most important connection the little boy has to the outside world.

The box is now old and worn, its once bright colors are faded, but his mother has taken good care of it since she was a child.

The box resembles its creator, the old Japanese man, and is a little tattered around the edges but still standing strong. Cradling it gently in his hands, the little boy vows never to let it go as he thanks his mother over and over again.

Eventually, the little boy goes through surgery, his weak heart is fixed, and he is permitted to leave the hospital for the first time in his life. And as the little boy is wheeled through the doors, he holds the box in his lap. When the little boy goes to school for the first time, the children stare. There are hushed voices as he wheels himself down the hallways, and he almost wishes for the solitary comfort of his hospital room.

When the teacher asks a question, he thinks of the box at home, and his hand is the first one up. Whispered conversations are exchanged behind his back. “Have you seen the new boy?” They make him wilt inside but, again, he thinks of the box sitting on top of his dresser, holds his head high, ignoring the hushed gossip.

The first glimmer of hope appears during lunch, when a girl in the same grade as the little boy slides into the seat across from him. She is of Asian descent with dark eyes warm with good intention. When she introduces herself, the little boy smiles for the first time that day. The girl is the only student who has spoken to him at all yet.

The two become good friends, and eventually the little boy shows the little girl his special origami box. She comments on how old and worn it’s gotten and asks the little boy if he would like for her to teach him how to make another one. The little boy nods eagerly.

By the end of the afternoon, a new origami box perches in the little boy’s hands.

The inside is pastel pink and light tangerine, while the outside is bright pink, like the skin of an infant taking a breath for the very first time. ^

She held her ancestors in her hands, rolled them into beads, and strung them into necklaces. her neck heavy, her shoulders slumped, she smiled.

She caught them between her fingers when she was thinking, chanted their names like an anthem thought each syllable gave her strength channelled what they’d call “the old country” a place she imagined was sepia, with folding edges and a chipping frame but loved it nonetheless. her necklaces soon became ropes, every new birth a new strand, each death a finished story, and armed with these ropes, she was unstoppable. they called her crazy, they did, said they’d weigh her down, drown her. they didn’t understand that, light with the dreams of generations past, she’d float. and they just didn’t understand.

Lobsterman

_by toby c ho yt

I walk down the Portland street that leads to Widgery Wharf. I don’t know what’s drawing me there except the smell of the ocean and an interest in looking at boats and birds. “Private Property” and “No Trespassing” signs are posted on the buildings near me, but I keep walking, trying to find a person to talk to.

The wharf is old and covered in barnacles and seaweed that clings to the pilings and smells of salty rotted fish. It is quiet. Only the sounds of a motor or two taint the air.

I knock on the door of a building painted in black-and-white polka dots where one of the owners of the wharf usually works.

I wait awhile and see a man painting a nearby building.

“He ain’t here,” the man says in a hearty Maine accent as he notices me knocking on the door, “but I am. Whaddya want?” As soon as I see him, I think how he looks like he is one with the wharf, like he has been working here for an eternity. I have just moved to Maine. Everything about it is new to me, from the culture to my new school.

I take out my notebook, sensing a good story on the way. “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about this place?” I ask.

The man comes off the ladder he was using to paint the upper sections of the shack he is working on. He brushes off his pants and sticks his brush back in the bucket. He seems like someone I could talk to. He has a friendly sort of aura to him, like he welcomes conversation. He looks like a local. I have never really been a local anywhere.

“Sure, I can answer a few questions.

I know everything about this wharf,” he boasts.

I start to ask questions about the wharf and the lobster influx, hoping that through them I’ll learn more about him. I don’t really eat much lobster, or know much about wharves or what it takes to go fishing to make a living. I’ve lived in Indonesia and New York City, and neither of them gave me much of a chance to spend time in places like this. The man seems to know a lot and claims he worked on the wharf when no one but lobstermen kept their boats there. Then slowly we start to talk more about ourselves.

He tells me his name is Jackie Grant.

He is seventy years old, though his spirit seems much younger. He was born on December 1, 1942. He is balding, is around 5’5, and his tanned skin is laden with wrinkles. He has three yellow teeth remaining in his mouth and squint lines around his eyes from looking out on the ocean. His hands are rough and calloused.

He looks pretty strong, but his physical condition has probably seen better days.

Jackie grew up on Munjoy Hill and went to Portland High, where he played football.

He became a lobsterman at age twelve after spending time with a friend of his who set lobster traps. He says that where Widgery Wharf is now used to be under water. In fact, everything up to Commercial Street here in Portland was once under water.

“The waterfront was magic back in the 50’s. When I was twelve, I was out on the ocean and making a man’s wages,” Jackie says.

I’m twelve. I go to school. I play sports. I don’t work at sea. I am getting an education for a job that does not require manual labor.

Jackie has a job that not very many will have in my generation: one that requires physical labor and strength. I wonder if I will ever be as strong as he is at any age, let alone seventy.

“I’m the only one in my family who fishes, and they all think that I’m nuts,” Jackie continues. I learn that when he was nineteen he started blood-worming for his future father-in-law. I am amazed by how he has dedicated almost his entire life to the sea, nearly fifty years. He has also lived in California and Massachusetts, but he has always come back to his native Maine and the wharf he knows so well. Now retired from active fishing, Jackie still helps out on the wharf by painting buildings and being a handyman.

Jackie says he has never owned a boat, which surprises me, considering that he has spent his life on the sea. He has worked on many boats and when asked to remember unusual experiences, he tells me that he once caught a nurse shark by accident.

He tells me a story of one night out on the water, when he woke up and heard a strange sound. He peered over the edge of the boat and saw that a whale, longer than the boat itself, was leaning on the side of the boat, sleeping, with its calf nearby.

This makes me think, Wow, this person has seen things that many people never will.

When I ask Jackie about his family, his face takes on a melancholy look. It feels like the whole atmosphere changes around us then, and he looks away toward the sun.

It is the first time I see his face look vulnerable. He tells me he had two children who died within twelve days of each other.

His son, who died at age twenty-five, had muscular dystrophy. His daughter died of a heart attack less than two weeks later.

He says, “Life ain’t no bowl of cherries.

You just gotta keep going. It’s not like you can just give up.” No, I think, you can’t.

Not if you’re Jackie Grant. I stand there thinking about how this seems like something Jackie probably had to stick to his whole adult life. There is a small silence, and I thank him for his time and leave. We shake hands. His hand is rough, yet gentle.

Walking away from Jackie, I realize I used to think that all fishermen did was fish. I hadn’t thought of them as people with their own stories that have nothing to do with fish. I suppose now that all people have their own stories, whether they are fishermen or business people or teachers.

I wonder why he decided to share such personal stories with me. He was so kind and open, despite how much he has suffered. I think about Jackie on the wharf and wonder how he’ll be later today, and how he’ll be tomorrow, and in twenty more years. Maybe there will be a time when I have something hard to talk to him about. I think he would understand. ^

news when history comes alive exploring below the surface in biddeford _wor d s and p hoto by nich o la s gervin

Below tHe Boards a long-forgotten lagoon sits underneath biddeford’s pepperell Mill.

Our cities are rich with history. For many of us, the word “history” calls to mind dry high school courses on ancient civilizations halfway around the world. But trust me, when you’re standing in a lagoon from 1843 that has long been unused, it’s anything but boring or remote. Suddenly history is alive; for a brief time you truly feel connected to what came before.

I’ve been exploring the unseen spaces of Maine and New England for over a decade now. I’ve found things that were not even on maps and surprised the people in charge of city systems and infrastructure. And while not everyone is physically or mentally equipped to venture deep into the unknown, opportunities do exist to experience urban exploration in a safe, sanctioned setting. I know what you’re thinking: A tour led by some young yuppie reading from a pamphlet while you look over a refurbished structure that no longer holds its true historical character? Boring. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t waste my time writing about such a tour. The Heart of Biddeford’s annual “Secret Spaces and Historic Places” tour, on the other hand, is something I highly recommend.

Led by former mill workers and city officials who have a deeper insight than most, this year’s Historic Places tour granted us access to an underground lagoon, City Hall’s clock tower, the former MERC incinerator site, the former St. Joseph’s Church rectory (currently up for sale), MotorLand Vintage America, and more.

By far, the site on the tour that I found most interesting was the lagoon under Building 10 of the Pepperell Mill complex.

In 1843, an influx of Irish immigrants, escaping the famine in their home country, arrived in Biddeford eager to take advantage of its employment opportunities. They were given work digging out this giant cavern and the many elaborate networks of tunnels that still reside under the mills today.

All this was accomplished with only picks and axes at their disposal. Greek and Italian stonemasons built massive archways (with no mortar, mind you) for river water to flow through and power the turbines that helped run the mill’s machinery. On Saturday, we were led through the mill, over

its first floor of suspended hardwood, down a narrow staircase next to the fiber hopper, and out onto a wood observation deck that overlooks this dimly lit marvel of engineering. The faint sound of trickling water can be heard, as well as the buzz of neon bulbs lighting two catwalks that span the length of the space. The atmosphere of the location, combined with tour guide Pete Lamontagne’s engaging personal tales from over 40 years of working in the mills and the disclosure of the industrial accidents that the Biddeford Mills Museum’s research is bringing to light, made for a bone-chilling 20 minutes.

After pulling myself from the depths of the mill, I climbed to the heights of the City Hall clock tower, where Phil Radding, Biddeford’s director of facilities, greeted me and gave the last tour of the day. Graffiti covers the walls, mostly in pencil, dating back to 1901 and possibly earlier — tell-tale signs of explorers who came before. The skeletal remains of a grand clock that once rang hourly sit in the center of the steeple (some parts were removed in the 1980s when the clock was electrified). A tiny hatch door in the side of the tower lends a view of the city; the number of church steeples and mill buildings (which each had their own calls and warning systems) makes clear why Biddeford has been called “The City of Bells.”

Our cities are ever evolving. Daily, they recreate themselves. I encourage you to stop, look around, investigate, and explore. Do more than just traverse the city’s surface on the way to work, down the same street everyday. Take a new turn in your route, get lost on purpose, add a bit of spontaneity and adventure to your life. At the very least, go take next year’s “Secret Spaces and Historic Places” tour — or, if you can’t wait that long, call The Heart of Biddeford and book yourself a spot on one of Lamontagne’s Thursday or Saturday Pepperell Mill campus tours and he’ll show you the grand fireplaces and walk-in safes that are part of Biddeford’s industrial past. ^

long time coming carbon-spewing power plants must finally face the music _by d eir dre ful t o n Some call it the “carbon pollution loophole:” the absurdity that while the federal Clean Air Act limits the amount of mercury, arsenic, sulfur, and other pollutants that power plants can spew into the atmosphere, the US government has never regulated power plants’ carbon dioxide emissions. This loophole is the reason electric power plants, which burn huge amounts of coal as part of their day-to-day operations, are the largest source of carbon pollution in the country. It’s why fossil fuel-fired plants have been allowed to belch millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the air, even as the public has come to blame this type of pollution for rising sea levels, increasingly crazy weather patterns, and worsening public health risks — because no one told them to stop.

That loophole may finally be closed, if a plan put forth Monday by President Barack Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency makes it through the gauntlet of controversy and potential litigation that’s sure to come over the next year. The proposal, part of Obama’s Climate Action Plan that attempts to fight global warming on several fronts, aims to cut power plant emissions to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.

“That’s like cancelling out annual carbon pollution from two thirds of all cars and trucks in America,” EPA administrator Gina McCarthy said. “And if you add up what we’ll avoid between now and 2030 — it’s more than double the carbon pollution from every power plant in America in 2012.”

The EPA says the proposed rule — which they’re calling the Clean Power Plan — has public health and environmental benefits worth an estimated $55 to $93 million dollars, and will help reduce asthma and other health issues by improving air quality, create jobs in the renewable-energy and energy-efficiency industries, and lower electric costs over time. Plus, it will reduce soot and smog by 25 percent within the same time frame.

The plan affords great flexibility to states, which can choose how to meet the standards; the EPA will set different emissions goals for each state, depending on how much pollution they emit and how much electricity they produce. To meet those targets, states can increase efficiency at existing plants, shift to low- or zero-emissions power sources, work with other states to cap and trade emission allowances, encourage energy efficiency on the demand-side, or any combination of those strategies.

Maine, which currently emits about 437 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatthour of electricity, must get down to an interim goal of 393 pounds per megawatt hour during the 10 years between 20202029 and a final goal of 378 pounds of CO2 per mwh by 2030 — a 13.5 percent reduction over 16 years. According to a stateby-state analysis at Vox, other states are facing much larger necessary reductions; Massachusetts must cut its emissions by 37.7 percent to meet the EPA’s goal, for

f

example. North Dakota faces the smallest reduction at 10 percent, while Washington needs to reduce its emissions by almost 72 percent to meet the EPA’s standard.

“So why do different states have such different targets?” Vox writer Brad Plumer asks. “The EPA tried to take into account the state’s current energy situation when setting these goals. Some states are already on pace to reduce their emissions quickly...Washington is already on pace to phase out a massive coal plant in 2020 anyway. So a big cut is relatively easier for Washington to achieve than it is for, say, North Dakota.”

Local observers said Maine’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a market-based regulatory program involving nine New England and Mid Atlantic states, will help it comply with the new federal standards.

In fact, says Emily Figdor of Environment Maine, the Clean Power Plan “builds on Maine’s leadership” and the RGGI model, which has reduced carbon pollution from power plants in the northeast by 40 percent since 2008. RGGI states agree to a steadily declining emissions cap and sell carbon-emission allowances at auction, putting the proceeds toward clean energy investments. Maine has devoted its revenue from sale of carbon credits under the program almost entirely to energy efficiency programs for residential, business, and large industrial consumers. (Governor Paul LePage has made clear his opposition to RGGI.)

LOOMING BATTLE

Some say the new rules don’t go far enough, but more (and louder) people will say they go too far.

“This is a big deal, and the big polluters know it,” said Glen Brand, director of the Sierra Club’s Maine chapter. “This is the beginning of what could be the biggest climate fight in history.”

The EPA is holding a 120-day public comment period, during which time it will accept written comment and hold four public hearings in Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Washington, DC (find more details at 2epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards). The rules are expected to be finalized next year, and states will have until 2016 to submit plans showing how they intend to comply.

Environmental groups expect significant opposition from representatives of the fossil fuel industry and politicians who either represent coal-producing states (such as Wyoming, West Virginia, and Kentucky) or who generally believe cutting carbon pollution could have negative economic impacts. Opponents are expected to attack the proposed rules in the media, on the campaign trail, and in the courts. And they won’t be subtle.

On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky (where a full 93 percent of electricity generation comes from coal-fired plants), called the EPA’s plan a “dagger in the heart of the American middle class.”

Also on Monday, the National Republican Congressional Committee sent an email to Maine reporters encapsulating the basic

opposition line: “Today, Environmental Protection Agency Chief Gina McCarthy, unveiled the Administration’s costly and job-destroying carbon limit rule. Now, Emily Cain will have to decide between saving the economy and jobs or supporting the President’s liberal cap-and-trade scheme for political gain.” (The NRCC sent out an identical email that substituted Cain’s 2nd Congressional District primary opponent, Troy Jackson.)

The National Mining Association said the proposal was a “flawed approach” that would put the US electric grid “in jeopardy” while raising energy costs. “The EPA wants to put the lights out on our energy future,” blared the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity’s homepage.

“I know people are wondering: can we cut pollution while keeping our energy affordable and reliable? We can, and we will,” the EPA’s McCarthy said, pre-empting her opponent’s arguments. “Critics claim your energy bills will skyrocket. They’re wrong.

Any small, short-term change in electricity prices would be within normal fluctuations the power sector already deals with. And any small price increase — think about the price of a gallon of milk a month — is dwarfed by huge benefits.”

Indeed, a study released just last month (one suggesting other states look to RGGI as a model as they develop their own plans for carbon reduction) showed that RGGI states are reducing carbon pollution and other hazardous emissions, growing local economies, and seeing electricity price drops — a whopping 14 percent in Maine since RGGI took effect.

McCarthy and others point to Obama’s fuel efficiency standards, which were widely feared and criticized when they were first unveiled, as evidence that combating pollution doesn’t necessarily lead to job loss or economic downturn. “In 2011, we exported almost 33 percent more cars than we did in 2009 — a clear sign of a competitive industry,” she said.

Still, even if the rules emerge from the comment period robust (or at least intact), we’re not out of the woods — not by a long shot.

“Post-industrial nations like ours will reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade and indeed those reductions have already begun,” wrote Steven Cohen, executive director of Columbia University’s Earth Institute, at the Huffington Post. “Nevertheless, the vast increases in fossil fuel based energy use in China and India alone virtually guarantee continued global warming. No treaty or policy will reduce the hunger for fossil fuels in those places. Only a lower-priced, reliable and convenient replacement for fossil fuels will make a difference...A replacement for fossil fuels is essential for ecological, economic and political sustainability and stability. Governments should focus as much human brainpower as we can find to develop and implement renewable energy technology. The goal should be to make fossil fuels irrelevant.” ^ Deirdre Fulton can be reached at dfulton@phx.com.

JUNE 4 sunday 8 GOOd CLEAN FUN | Well, it’s

here — the Old Port Fest. The one weekend a year when Portland becomes a parking (slash walking) disaster as it accommodates an influx of 30,000 revelers and festival-goers. That’s right, I said 30,000 people. Doesn’t that just make you want to, um, die? If there wasn’t amazing live music and lots of beer on every corner, I’d be pulling my hair out.

Anyway, here is a brief preview of shows you should try to catch over the course of the afternoon: Local favorites noRth oF naShville plays on the WPOR 101.9 stage at the corner of Union and Middle Streets at 12:30 pm.

Electronic soul rock and pop group the otheR boneS play on Moulton Street at 1:15 pm on the Dispatch magazine stage. Alternative country group the mallett bRotheRS banD play on the One City Center Super Stage in Monument Square at 1:30 pm. Folk band GhoSt oF paul ReveRe play on WCLZ 98.9 stage at Fore and Silver streets at 2:30 pm. Lastly, wrap it all up with the always crowd-pleasing time pilotS who play on The Coast 93.1 stage at 3:45 pm. Plus a parade, family activities, and street vendors.

Visit oldportfestival.net for a full schedule, parking info, and more.

noise-pop musical duo SleiGh bellS play their hyperactive rock riffs and crunk beats tonight at Port City. They’re like a loud, kick-in-the-face teen pop-punk band. And might I add, they are pretty rad. (Give their song “Rill Rill” a listen if you want a good sample of their music.)

Joining them will be the postpunk industrial group yvette.

theater

telling truth from fallacy tHe aRt and aRtifice Of dRc’s equivocation _BY Mega n g R u MB l in g Playwright William Shagspeare (a laconic, finely measured Peter Brown) and his troupe of thespians have a “cooperative venture” going on. Everyone owns shares in the company, everyone has a vote, and, with the patronage of the King, they’ve made a good living performing a slew of inoffensive plays about twins and moribund rulers. But now the King’s secretary, Robert Cecil (Corey Gagne, with cool, arrogant authority), has commissioned Shag to write a work of theatrical propaganda about the infamous Gunpowder Plot, in which Jesuits were supposedly thwarted from their scheme to blow up Parliament. Cecil wants to demonize the Catholics — and King James (an almost perversely elfin Ian Carlsen) just wants witches! — but Shag sees holes in the story.

His considerations about whether and how to tell the truth drive Bill Cain’s remarkable Equivocation, a gripping and dizzyingly erudite work of historical fiction. Keith Powell Beyland and Brown co-direct a dazzling production, with a double- and triple-cast ensemble of some of Portland’s most arresting actors.

f

Shag’s core players — handsome, insecure young Sharpe (Carlsen), temperamental aging lead Richard (Christopher Holt), dashing Armin (Matt Delamater), and workmanlike Nate (Gagne again) — already have problems. Sharpe is sick of being “naked and covered in shit” in Shag’s new King Lear; Richard is at jealous odds with Sharpe; and the troupe quarrels about what they should or shouldn’t risk performing for the King. Meanwhile, Shag has been suppressing grief for his dead son and neglecting the boy’s surviving twin, the no-bullshit, oft-editorializing Judith (Carrie BellHoerth, appealingly wry). But Shag closes in on truths both political and personal as he interviews the co-conspirators, including the fiery Tom Wintour (Carlsen), and Father Garnet (Holt), Jesuit author of On Equivocation, who schools Shag in “how to speak the truth in difficult times.”

As befits a play suffused in both plays and politics, the show’s theater-within-theater tropes are myriad and compelling executed.

Costume racks and a Foley table (gamely manned by Chris Fitze) are in full sight, as are costume-changes between lavish period

garb (Travis M. Grant’s gorgeous design revels in red velvet and studded leather) and offduty actors who watch from the wings. The narrative framework shifts fluidly between Shag’s encounters and his dramatic retelling of them, and actors slip in and out of numerous roles with skill and increasing audaciousness: As the players (accompanied now

by Jesse Leighton, in drag) perform the play that Shag finally delivers (the name of which I won’t spoil), virtuoso Carlsen jumps out and in of a throne playing now actor Sharpe, now speed-freaky, giggling King James.

(Carlsen is so disarmingly convincing that once, watching his Sharpe, I actually looked back to the throne to see James’ reaction.)

Beyland and Brown have gathered a dream ensemble of actor’s actors for this challenging show. The cast creates a complex rapport among the troupe members, with all their insecurities, battles, and deep-seated love; they excel equally at clowning in loincloths, enacting torture and disembowelment, and finding unlikely communion (when Shag helps Wintour simply to hold a pen, the prisoner falls sobbing against him in gratitude and release).

The work especially of Gagne, Carlsen, and Holt, as each navigates their wide-reaching roles, is breathtaking.

And Cain’s breadth and depth of allusion and comment are formidable, from monarchical lineage to Cecil’s critique of Shag’s safe-playing oeuvre as “all things to all men” and “endless and universal flattery.” Above all Equivocation cares about the art — and the artifice — of narrative in our lives. “Torture is against British laws,” James chirps glibly. “Therefore, we don’t have torture.” And: “You can’t legislate a soul into a country,” sneers Cecil. “For that, you need a story.” As Shag reconsiders his responsibilities as a storyteller, Cain’s play seems to propose that not just his troupe, but other equally theatrical cooperative ventures — families, communities, nations — could stand some practice in the art of telling truth. ^

Madness with a method

acORn pResents an aRResting, gendeR-Bending Hamlet _BY Mega n g R u M B l in g Director Michael Howard is fond of quoting novelist Anthony Burgess’s estimation of Hamlet as “the play the world can least do without.” And Howard’s exhilarating, bracingly conceived new production, with its ardent attention to the language, is indeed a Hamlet for Hamlet-lovers. The exceptional Karen Ball stars as the Dane in a dynamic, stripped-down, startlingly intimate ensemble production in which the actors are at once players and audience.

Acorn Productions, which has long bared the Bard of his theatrical trappings, stages it in the stageless Community Room of USM’s Wishcamper Center.

The era is broadly modern in the casually natty court of King Claudius (Randall Tuttle) and Gertrude (Mary Fraser) — where tastes run to corduroy blazers, suits, and a medium-maintenance ’stache on selfconscious Laertes (Maxwell Aranson) — and the set is simple: a Danish flag and a square of 20 wooden chairs. These chairs serve as both stage and wings for the ensemble of 12 actors, who remain “onstage” throughout.

They rise from their chairs to play scenes inside and around the square, then return to their seats to watch, frequently transiting the tight aisle formed between their chairs and the three-quarter round of the audience just behind. The unusual staging suggests

f

doomed love Karen Ball as Hamlet and Molly Bryant Roberts as Ophelia. both enclosure and the dual acts of watching and performing, which are the primary m.o. of our Hamlet, blanched and enervated in black jeans, in a place where he is at once encircled and very alone.

The production’s blocking is marvelously kinetic, with much strolling, stalking, and skidding around the perimeter of the chairs as other players look on. Howard’s staging evokes a cage’s walls being paced, heightens the play’s motifs of self-performance, and sometimes delivers an almost cinematic effect of simultaneity, as when Horatio

(Jessica Labbe, fine and lucid), races around the perimeter several times before finding Hamlet, who has been soliloquizing. Hamlet delivers other monologues while the rest of the scene is frozen around him, a conceit that amplifies Hamlet’s isolation and his quick mind. Elsewhere, Ophelia (Molly Bryant Roberts) recounts Hamlet’s behavior in an interactive, deliciously physical flashback in which we watch Hamlet toy with her and exit, then shake off his “madness” and walk grimly, sanely away around the perimeter.

Howard’s cast, which executes his designs with impressive precision, has been working with the text (as part of Acorn’s Shakespeare Conservatory) since January, and you can see it in the cohesion of their ensemble work and the nuances of each characterization. The animation and singsong lilt of Fraser’s Gertrude, in her filmy black-raspberry dress, contrast beautifully with Hamlet’s ashen angst; while Tuttle’s well-wrought Claudius is less a villain than an unremarkable, smarmy schlub. Roberts’ Ophelia has an engaging playfulness with her brother and an affecting responsiveness with Hamlet — watch her mouth ease, heartbreakingly, into laughing relief when Hamlet says he loved her; watch it tighten and quiver when he says he loved her not.

And Ball’s Dane is exquisite. She is so

immersed, and knows the language so thoroughly, that it is an utter pleasure to watch her Hamlet’s quicksilver shifts in attention and intention, intonation and inflection. Ball’s Hamlet is exponentially smarter and quicker than everyone around him, which only heightens his frustration, alienation, and rage. It’s revealing to see Hamlet’s momentary relief and pleasure to be finally in the presence of someone who challenges his wit: the laconic gravedigger (Joe Quinn, whose graveyard spiel is mystifyingly doctored).

A few staging choices are perhaps a little too whimsical: the mocking poses of Laertes and Ophelia behind the back of pontificating Polonius (Maggie Gish) feel a little forced, as does the decision to stage Gertrude’s monologue about Ophelia’s death as a children’s story. But these are small complaints in a Hamlet that is among the most focused, accessible, and vital I’ve seen. Its clarity of language and vision reinvigorates Shakespeare’s tragedy, and implicates all of us, on both sides of the round, in the art of the performance. ^

Sea Level

On Sea Level’s Nemo 2, each individual piece feels mapped out and calculated, like a chemist manipulating test tubes in a lab.

UnderwAter And on fIre

Sea level are never gonna do what you Say

Vocalist Kristina Kentigian has appeared on more local records than it’s worth tallying up at this point. Leave it to Dan Capaldi, himself a frequently hired gun, to make the best use of her yet on Nemo 2, the new record from his solo project, Sea Level.

“Tell Me Lies,” coming late in the record, is like Billie Holiday on a Deadmaus track. While Kentigian’s sultry and reserved, the backing track features a bass line that rings out with the menace of an old-time James Bond villain; Capaldi rides the high hat manically, and a dark beat juts in with five quick notes just when you’re getting settled.

“All this time, I’m one step ahead of you,” Kentigian sings, “No need to play nice/ Knew where this was headed when I set my sights on you.”

Truly, even on “Cover It Up,” which he wrote and recorded with producer Noah Cole with a strict time limit of four hours, Capaldi always seems like he’s executing a plan he’s had in

f

place for quite some time. Sure, this seven-song record is pretty disjointed — mixing up genre, instrumentation, and emotional resonance — but each individual piece feels mapped out and calculated, like a chemist manipulating test tubes lined up in a lab.

Just as “Tell Me Lies” echoes the Fleetwood Mac song of the same name, “Cover It Up” pulls in just a bit of the Cure with a repeating lyrical riff on “Never Enough,” but the delivery and production call to mind Beck’s more aggressive work and the percussion break alone makes the song a must-listen. Whatever else Capaldi is, he’s a spectacular drummer, inventive and crazy smart.

For vocals, he’s settled mostly into a falsetto style, drawn out and often distorted and mixed to the middle.

On “Close Enough,” though, he stays lower down, clean and right on the mic so that you can hear every bit of spittle moving about. Add in a “waging the wage” lyrical reference and

it’s not hard to hear Dominic Lavoie’s influence, the result being a psychedelic take on Paul McCartney: “Why can’t you understand the concept of close enough?”

Capaldi dives deeper into the local scene with “Fire Like This,” featuring a Fogcutters sample — slowed down and grimy, “I’m never gonna do what you say” — and a second verse rap from Eyenine. At times, it sounds a little like someone assaulting the Fogcutters in their practice space, “but the truth is,” Eyenine delivers in his nasally crispness, “you want it that way.”

Just as with his short works Anjuli and Waking Life, Capaldi’s Sea Level remains on Nemo 2 experimental and progressive, but somehow familiar and not all that far outside the mainstream. ^

IntereStIng Delays

nice PlaceS helP you make it out alive

Have you heard the new Coldplay record? Fuck, it’s boring. And that’s coming from a Coldplay fan.

After listening this week to the new Nice Places record, Delays, it was hard not to think Coldplay should have at least made something this interesting. Maybe it’s that lead singer Samuel Belanger takes Chris Martin’s semi-shouted trademark “oooh-oooh” backing vocals and makes them feel at home in something sounding like the rock band Coldplay used to be, instead of the wanna-be digital pop outfit they seem to have become.

Actually, Nice Places have a lot more prog in them than Coldplay ever will or did, and they still sound a lot like Minus the Bear with a dash of Yes, but this new record has a more aggressive bent to it, more of a leatherpants strut. The opening “Build a Palisade” sounds like something the Strokes could have done, with a jabbing guitar from Justin Shea, who wrote everything here and recorded the whole bit in his home studio, getting help from Noah Cole. The entire package might remind you

f

most, locally, of the Satellite Lot records, especially in the production sound and the vocal treatment.

Belanger’s vocals are often in the middle of the mix, it’s true, which can make the lyrics hard to make out. But the drums are especially present, and are particularly well captured when Brendan Shea goes to the brushes in the instrumental “Mezzo Piano,” which does not actually include a piano, but does supply another trademark Nice Places atmospheric piece, which is plenty engaging without lyrics.

The 8-bit nod is well done in “Pink Cassette,” too, a seamless blur from digital throwback to ’80s indie teen ballad, calling to mind frilly, lace gloves and too much eye shadow. Even the lyrics fit: “You tell yourself, ‘Don’t worry/ It won’t be this way forever.’”

Finally, a piano does enter, in the closing “Busy Day,” where a low, lefthand-dominate entry gets ratcheted up in a hurry into a full-blown, alllights-on-bright-white rock tune, with a thumping kick drum and a fournote guitar riff, low-low-high-high.

This one’s a brooder, too: “And all at once, it’s easier to see/ That you won’t make it out alive.”

Really, it’s hard to escape this record once you’ve put it on. The songs spill effortlessly into one another and the 27 minutes goes by in a breeze of staring out the window.

Unlike that Coldplay record. Really?

A “hidden track,” after three minutes of silence and it’s like a minute long and isn’t much of anything? What is this, 1994? ^

An artist in Transit Joe Gallant GoeS countrY

You think ray lamontagne has changed up his sound? that’s nothing compared to what Joe Gallant has done with his new record, The Rise and the Fall. dude’s gone from Jack Johnson to Jimmie Johnson, trading in hushed singer-songwriter fare for big country tunes suitable for the infield at daytona. did you see that coming?

With a new backing band — the transit — as well as time with Jonathan Wyman in the studio and adam ayan’s mastering touch (ayan’s carved out a niche with pop country artists like rascal Flatts, hunter hayes, and carrie underwood, if you haven’t noticed), Gallant has re-imagined himself as country-rock bandleader, with an opening track in “Bandages and Whiskey” that’s full of thumping bass drum from dan capaldi (Sea level, Soft Bullets, etc.), searing electric guitar from Sam Berce, and some organ, for good measure, from Karl anderson (the Wrecking). and, just in case you weren’t clear what Gallant was going for, he made sure to throw in lyrics about meeting the reaper, “a fire burning in the midnight sky,” and being in both tulsa and “arizone.” oh, and the next tune is “nashville Soon.” country! nothing wrong with engaging in genre, you just need to really nail it. here, the combo package of piano, slide guitar, and backing vocals from amy allen (who’s done some recording in nashville, herself) ought to be well received. You’ll be reminded just how sweet Gallant can sing, too, even as you catch a nice dolly parton reference about sleeping with one eye open.

“Sweet rebellion” is also kinda purty, this time with Will mallett doing the backing vocals, as Gallant explores country’s outlaw roots: “it’s hard to follow the beaten path when you’re staring at the sky.” there’s even a train song, “locomotive,” that apes ZZ top and gets sexually suggestive. if you’re geeked up about the line-up on the waterfront in Bangor this summer, this tune’s for you.

Finally, there is “love ain’t So Bad,” the big singalong finisher. the honky tonks on Broadway in nashville are filled with this kind of thing, perfect for late nights and raised bottles of beer. maybe this isn’t so much of a departure for Gallant after all. his last album was designed for boozy campfires at the beach. on this one, the sentiment’s the same. the only thing that’s changed is the setting. ^

finding balance in brisket savoring salvage BBq’s take on casual dining _By Bria n duff The style of service at Salvage BBQ — you order at the counter, grab a seat, and wait for a tray to arrive — intends to mimic common practice at southern meat joints. But here in Maine, seated in Salvage’s huge space at a picnic table you share with some strangers, the experience calls to mind nothing so much as Maine’s own characteristic form of native dining. Salvage is like a lobster shack without the wind, water, sunburn, or seafood. As the oceans turn against us, fish disappear, and weather generally weirdens, Salvage might suggest a plausible strategy to salvage the distinctive experience of casual dining in Maine.

Many aspects of Salvage will make the transition rather easy. You don’t need to give up the sun altogether, since on recent long evenings the light pours in rather elegantly through huge windows on the western wall. The whoosh of children rushing around creates the semblance of a breeze. And the restraint with which Salvage smokes and spices their meat gives it something of the inoffensive appeal that makes clam-shack style seafood a common source of family meal consensus.

In this sense Salvage gives you a Goldilocks experience with regard to the three prominent barbeque spots in town. Elsmere’s meat is so suffused with smoke

FShort Takes xxW jODOROwsky’s Dune 90 minutes | pg | frontier cinema & cafe Chilean-born director Alejandro Jodorowksy planned to follow up his cult sensation The Holy Mountain (1973) with a big-budget adaptation of Frank Herbert’s scifi novel Dune; the project never came to be, though the filmmaker spent three whole years in preproduction, generating a wealth of material. This straightforward 2013 documentary recounts his thwarted attempt — primarily through interviews with Jodorowsky, who remains an animated presence in his 80s. His stories feature an impressive roster of would-be collaborators (Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, H.R. Geiger, and Pink Floyd), and some of the set pieces he describes sound pretty neat. But if you’re not a Jodorowsky fan, this probably won’t register as more than a

that it ought to carry a trigger warning for recovering cigarette addicts. Buck’s deliberately eschews rubs and sauces, favoring post-hoc sauce adornment. Salvage finds a middle ground. Smoky flavor is present but restrained, and a variety of spice rubs infuse the meat without bullying it.

The best manifestation of this balance is the brisket. The fatty version is crazy tender given the cut of meat, with a nice black and salty — but still tender — seared exterior.

You can opt for a leaner cut of the brisket, which lets the same subtle smoke and seasoning emerge in a rendition that gives you a bit more texture to chew. I preferred it.

The pork ribs are admirably juicy and tender, without a particularly strong flavor from smoke or spice. They invite you to slather on one of the bottled sauces that populate each table. Some aggressive cross-table poaching and trading might be necessary to get your hands on the most appealing of these: a mustard-vinegar sauce in the South Carolina style. The rest of the pork is served chopped into mouthwatering chunks of various sizes, rather than pulled. With just a hint of vinegar, and mild seasoning, it too invites some experimenting with the sauces.

At Salvage you can take your cornmeal in the form of dense half-pucks of baked cornbread, or fried up in dollops as hush-

puppies. Each has a pleasant just corn-sweet flavor, but the hushpuppy’s mix of textures give them a little more interest.

a Million Ways to die in the West

xxW Maleficent 98 minutes | pg | westbrook cinemagic + clarks pond + auburn + lewiston + nordica + regal brunswick + saco cinemagic + smitty’s biddeford, sanford, & windham + thomaston Disney’s live-action, revisionist remake of its own Sleeping Beauty (1959) unfolds from the perspective of the villainess (Angelina Jolie), depicted here as a good fairy who turns bad only after being persecuted by humans. The original movie’s stark sense of good and evil is replaced here by a more nuanced, relativist perspective, which effectively prohibits the sort of nightmarish visions that made Walt Disney’s early animation features so powerful. This looks impressive, though, making use of

highly imaginative, state-of-theart 3-D effects while still evoking old-school Disney animation (even the wide-screen compositions seem to be modeled on those of the original). The supporting cast — which includes Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley, and Imelda Staunton — is enjoyable too. Longtime special effects artist Robert Stromberg directed.

xW a MilliOn ways tO Die in the west 116 minutes | r | nickelodeon + westbrook cinemagic + clarks pond + auburn + lewiston + nordica + regal brunswick + saco cinemagic + smitty’s biddeford + thomaston Granted, there’s modern-day slang in Blazing Saddles (1974), which

many would call the greatest western comedy ever. But what does it say about a writer-director when all the other people on his team — the location scouts, the production designer, the costume designer, the props manager, the title designer — strive for period authenticity while the boss lazily tells his story in, like, totally whatever dialogue? Despite all the costumes, stunt work, and locations in Monument Valley, this big-budget western spoof by Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Fox’s Family Guy) is too glib to live up to its potential. MacFarlane has a solid comic angle, scoring numerous laughs off the brutal living conditions of the old west, but his hyperactive riffing as the hero, emulated by Charlize Theron as his love interest, tends to spoil any jokes that don’t involve urine, semen, horse manure, or diarrhea.

Didn’t anybody tell these guys that cowboys are tight-lipped?

_by sy Mbo line Da i June is the month of transition — much more dramatic than January. For those graduates heading off to college: bear in mind that Saturn is in Scorpio for the next two years, highlighting the medical and psychological professions (so taking classes in those topics puts you in tune with the moon). For the rest of us, this is the one time of year when we’re not Vitamin D-deficient; old Sol keeps the power on through the solstice. But do bear in mind that Mercury is retrograde (from June 7 through July 1). Some folks thrive during these three weeks, but you will definitely want to double-check maps, directions, and data.

To the Editor, I urge Portland residents to go to the polls on June 10th to vote YES on 1 (see “Point-Counterpoint: Portland’s Parks Referendum,” May 30).

It is vitally important that voters have the final say on properties held in trust as open space for the use of the public. We must have the right to determine the fate of our parks should any be considered for sale or development.

Yes on 1 gives voters that prerogative for the 60 properties that would be entrusted to the Land Bank. Success of the referendum would also give us the right to decide about the future of Congress Square Park. It does not necessarily mean the park will not be sold in part or in its entirety; it simply means that the majority will rule, a fundamental tenet of democracy.

I also wish to express my disappointment in how the sale of Congress Square Park was put together: it was a no-bid deal that did not reflect the opinions of the Congress Square Redesign Study Group, the Portland Parks Commission, or the majority of the public who spoke at the myriad meetings of the CSRSG, the Housing and Community Development Committee and the City Council. I believe that without the referendum process that Yes on 1 provides, this flagrant disregard of citizen input will continue to occur

First quarter moon in Virgo. look back to may 29, and the new moon. What people came into your life — what projects began or changed shape. today through next Friday’s full moon is a time to go full force, particularly for libra, aquarius, Gemini, and Virgo. pisces, Sagittarius, aries, and capricorn: be skeptical. leo, cancer, taurus, and Scorpio: if you’re feeling fussy, you’re in tune with the moon (much to the frustration of your loved ones). Virgo rules the lower intestines — crank up the probiotics.

Waxing moon in Virgo, moon void-of-course 5:13 am until 10:01 pm when it moves into libra. an all-day Voc moon suggests a role-reversal, and those who work hard will want to kick back. Virgo moons are helpful for cleaning, and taurus, Virgo, capricorn, and libra will enjoy feeling “efficient.” pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini, and aries: look for opportunities to go slow. leo, cancer, Scorpio, and aquarius: stay curious, and keep asking questions.

Waxing moon in libra, mercury retrograde until July 1. excellent auguries for partnership, particularly deepening a relationship or seeing both sides of a situation, particularly for Gemini, libra, aquarius, Virgo, leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and taurus. aries, pisces, capricorn, and cancer could be easily frustrated (and maddening to those around them).

Waxing moon in libra, moon void-of-course 3:47 pm until 6:38 am monday. Friday, June 1, waxing moon in Scorpio. “cut to the chase” is the theme, and if you’re getting a haircut, removing extraneous details, or being direct in your language, you’re in tune with the moon. excellent romantic prospects for Scorpio, libra, Virgo, Sagittarius, capricorn, cancer, aries, pisces. missed signals, or social awkwardness for taurus, leo, and aquarius.

Waxing moon in Scorpio. this sign always makes personal interactions extra intense. if you’re someone who likes to flirt, you’ll be all over the place. if you’re someone who doesn’t notice if others are interested — prepare to get your eyes opened. Willing to take a chance: Scorpio, libra, Virgo, Sagittarius, capricorn, cancer, aries, pisces. accident-prone: leo, taurus, Gemini, and aquarius.

Waxing moon in Scorpio, moon void-of-course 10:21 pm until 11:23 am Wednesday. Scorpio moons make it easy to remove items, so even though the waxing moon focuses on “building” or “adding,” today is about subtracting. Scorpio, pisces, Virgo, cancer, Sagittarius, libra, and capricorn: be blunt, but be fair. taurus, aries, leo, aquarius, and Gemini: hold off decisions until tomorrow, particularly relating to relationships.

Waxing moon in Sagittarius (moon void-of-course in Scorpio until 11:23 am). head in a direction you don’t usually travel (north, for lovers of the sunny south, or inland, for those who live for the beach). also a fine day for joke-telling, particularly for Sagittarius, libra, Scorpio, capricorn, aquarius, leo, aries. Gemini, Virgo, pisces, taurus, and cancer: this will sound rude but so be it: today, please get over yourself.

Moon Keys

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.
