Katie and Jason AdopTIvE pARENTS

When Katie and her husband, Jason first met they knew they wanted a family together and as people do when they fall in love they had one of those conversations that later feels prescient. They talked about how if they could not have a child – they would adopt.

After several years of trying to get pregnant they came to realization that adoption really was going to be their best way of having the family they dreamed of. They called Stepping Stones.

Adeng SHELTER CLIENT Adeng and her daughter moved to Maine from Texas about seven years ago to be closer to her mother and brother who live in New Hampshire in a facility for children with specials needs. She was living with her mother who passed away last August and the landlord evicted Adeng and her child. She originally went to the Oxford Street Shelter where she said staff was kind but the place was very difficult for her young daughter. Someone in the Aspire program recommended Stepping Stones and she gave us a call.

“I called Linda and she called me at work the next day and I was living in an apartment that night – I was so grateful. It was a home, not a mat on the floor of a shelter,” said Adeng.

“Linda was amazing. She had answers to every one of my questions and was very good at making sure I followed through on what needed to be done, so that the next time I could manage challenges myself.

She always seems to do more than she needs to, but she says, ‘that’s my job.’ I remember at Christmas she showed up with all these presents for the children in the shelter. I couldn’t believe that people who were supporting the program would think about giving gifts to the children too!”

Adeng is now getting ready to move out of the Transitional Living Program and into her own apartment. Her long-term goal is to reunite with her younger brother who is still living in New Hampshire. In the meantime she is planning on going back to school

“It was really easy. I googled adoption in Maine and Stepping Stones came up and after spending a few minutes on-line we decided to call and find out more about how to begin the adoption process.”

After meeting with our adoption manager, Katie and Jason felt really well informed on the challenges and steps ahead and were keen to begin the process – since they knew that it can sometimes take a while to complete the background check, home-studies and other aspects of getting ready to adopt.

“We felt incredibly well taken care of. Stepping Stones walked us through the A-Z of adoption and made sure we understood the risks and challenges – the adoption staff was very open about the realities of the adoption process – we always felt really well informed and supported.

We completed all our paper work in December and settled down to wait to see if and when we would become adoptive parents. We knew in our hearts that it can take a while – and we felt sure everything would fall into place. In April we got the call that a baby was available and were asked if we could get to the hospital the very next day. We were overwhelmed, nervous and excited.

We had never thought that things might move this fast – we hoped but we never dreamed things would happen so quickly. We were thrilled.

We had the opportunity to meet with our birth mother and even had the chance to stay over in the hospital with the baby in our room.

Our adoption was finalized in June. We know that isn’t typical but we are just so thankful to have our baby and begin our family.

When we are ready to add to our family – we will certainly work with Stepping Stones again. In-fact we recommend Stepping Stones to people all the time. We had a really good experience – you helped us make our dream of having a family come true.”

“Maine can’t keep depending on some big company to come in from outside to save us.” _Alan Caron, Envision Maine

Beyond the Buzz

Seeking a new economic development paradigm The difference between a radical and a liberal is that the latter believes all we need to bring about effective change is to introduce reforms, as democracy is self-correcting. The former recognizes that something is fundamentally wrong with our economy, and most of our other systems — seeing them in different stages of brokenness. For the purposes of disclosure, I’d have to include myself in that camp; I seek solutions that embrace a radical perspective.

So I was eager to see what came out of Maine Startup and Create Week — eight days of events that featured a variety of speakers, panels, and even a few parties, designed to create energy in and around Portland’s startup and innovation community.

Unable to find time in my own patchwork, freelance schedule to make it into Portland from the hinterlands for more than one Maine Startup and Create Week event, I opted for a panel called “What Can Maine Do to Build an Innovative Entrepreneurial Economy?” It at least posed a provocative question. The makeup of the panel, however — two legislators, a former gubernatorial candidate and past CEO of Maine’s largest public utility, and a policy consultant — hardly inspired hope that I’d be hearing anything innovative.

The legislators, one from each major party — Seth Berry (D-Bowdoinham) and Roger Katz (R-Augusta) — served the breakfast crowd of about 50 a warmedover, bulleted list that politicians offer up to business leaders of any kind, large or small: friendlier regulations, a trained workforce, improvements to our education system, infrastructure upgrades. Certainly not very groundbreaking.

David Flanagan, the former CEO of Central Maine Power, representing big business, focused on the need for “better collaboration,” especially among Maine’s universities and colleges, seeing them as “conveners” of this new economy.

Flanagan proffered the most cuttingedge moment of the morning when he proposed that Maine’s university system “drop some of the barriers” and lower tuition to out-of-state students, in hopes that they’ll come to Maine and end up staying once they graduate. With Maine’s university system facing budget shortfalls in the near term, his proposal seems unlikely to happen.

Catherine Renault, the principal and owner of Innovation Policyworks LLC, a firm that provides economic development policy and strategy consulting, acknowledged that Maine needs to focus on the EB-5 visa program, a federal immigration program that allows foreign investors seeking to establish citizenship in the United States to receive fast-track status

f

the same old thing The panel posed an interesting question — “What Can Maine Do to Build an Innovative Entrepreneurial Economy?” — but didn’t offer inspiring answers. on their citizenship petitions when investing at least $1 million, and guaranteeing a certain number of new jobs. Given that Maine’s governor hasn’t exactly rolled out the red carpet to immigrants, that might be a hard sell.

I was curious what other entrepreneurs thought about the week’s events, especially another critique on the Wednesday panel I experienced. I called Don Gooding, executive director of the Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development (MCED), who also served as program chair for Maine Startup and Create Week. Gooding self-identifies as a third-generation entrepreneur, and he’s also a trained economist. I also knew of Gooding’s work promoting Maine’s innovation economy.

“A lot of good things are going on in Maine’s startup and innovation community,” said Gooding. “Many of our panels featured Maine’s most innovative and creative entrepreneurs and small business leaders. This particular panel, however, just made me crazy — it was too oriented towards the traditional way of doing things and promoting one type of business.”

CONTRARIAN THINKING

The panel was organized in conjunction with Envision Maine, a nonprofit that’s oriented toward a grassroots approach to growing Maine’s economy. Alan Caron, who serves as the organization’s president, was the founder and former president of GrowSmart Maine. Arguably, GrowSmart’s greatest achievement under Caron’s leadership was the commissioning of, and finding the funding for, the 2006 “Charting Maine’s Future” report,

released by the Brookings Institution.

In many ways, Caron’s latest venture latches on to the portion of the report that trumpeted Maine’s need to “invest in a place-based innovation economy.” However, the history of change teaches us that systemic shifts and radical restructuring rarely result from producing reports or generating buzz words like “innovation,” and “entrepreneurship.” The real test is whether these concepts pass the boots-onthe-ground test.

When asked about the series of events and panels, Caron told me that the goal was to “concentrate on Portland and on a younger group of entrepreneurs and business owners.” However, Caron was quick to point out that Envision Maine doesn’t want to “leave the rest of Maine behind,” or give the impression that this is just a Portland-centric movement.

“Maine can’t keep depending on some big company to come in from outside to save us,” Caron said. “Often, however, because our economy 150 years ago was one where big companies formed to extract value from Maine’s resources, we keep looking backwards to that time, thinking that’s still our reality.”

(It does sometimes seem like we’re caught in some kind of economic time warp, and looking back to the 1950s again.)

“Government can’t be in the business of picking winners or losers,” Caron con-

tinued. “The state’s track record doing so has been dismal.”

Caron cited the state’s tendency to set off in a new direction with each incoming administration, with the opposition digging in their heels, so that no plan ever gains the necessary traction. This has resulted in industrial and business parks built with much fanfare, but filled with empty lots. First Park in Oakland is a good example of that approach. Another is Maine’s business incubators in places like Rumford and Greenville. “It was thought that fairness required everyone to have one,” Caron said.

But it’s past time for a different strategy.

Gooding, of the MCED, mentioned the name Brad Feld, an author and a venture capitalist who has written extensively about start-up communities in his books and on his blog, especially about “changing our mindset” and about the need to adopt “contrarian thinking.”

“Brad Feld doesn’t have all the answers, but the need to think differently in how we grow our economy, especially in relation to innovation, is very important,” Gooding said.

I like that Gooding recognizes contrarian thinking is in order for Maine. However, I’m guessing his idea of contrarian and mine might be slightly different.

The contrariness I’m embracing and urging others to get behind is finding simple, local things you can do to fix the corner where you live — think the end of your driveway and move out from there.

Grow some of your own food — or if you can’t do that, buy it from someone the next road over who is growing enough for his family and a few others. Support local markets, brewers, bookstores, and hardware Alan stores. In today’s world Caron of big is better, not shopping at Walmart or Amazon and instead supporting your local merchant on Main Street is quite contrary. If you must scale up, think regionally, rather than globally.

Our state faces myriad challenges — demographically, politically, and economically. Going back to the same well (or the same panel topics, for that matter) over and over again, seeking the usual either/ or choices, will only leave more and more Mainers further behind. ^

Press releases

politics + other mistakes Inside game The University of Maine System (motto: You Get Less Stoopid If You Gradooate … Uh …

Grudulate … Uh … Get Outta Here) has image issues. A lot of people think it has a bloated bureaucracy, campuses rife with waste and duplication of programs, and lousy Division I basketball teams.

Obviously, what’s needed is a public relations expert. Preferably one who still has at least two years of NCAA eligibility and a devastating outside shot.

Instead, UMS hired Dan Demeritt, who — in spite of dropping a lot of weight since his days as chief spokesman for Republican Governor Paul LePage — still looks less like a shooting guard and more like an interior lineman with steroid issues.

The university system’s decision to add Demeritt to its roster at a salary of $125,000 a year generated criticism because it was done by ignoring normal hiring procedures and came at a time when the system is facing budget shortfalls, program cuts, and layoffs.

Demeritt is going to have to hit a lot of three-pointers to make up for all that negative reaction.

But in reality, there’s nothing unusual about UMS spending money it doesn’t have to recruit politically connected bureaucrats. The only difference between previous cases and Demeritt is he’s a member of the GOP and the earlier hires were all Democrats.

In 2012, an investigation by the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting found that UMS had waived its rules to provide jobs to several former members of the administration of former Democratic Governor John Baldacci. For instance, in 2008, Rebecca Wyke, who served as Baldacci’s commissioner of administration and financial services, came on board as vice chancellor for finance and ad-

frame it right ministration at a salary of $165,000.

This year, at the height of a financial crisis, Wyke was given a $40,000 raise to convince her not to accept an out-of-state job offer.

Talk about out of bounds.

Ryan Low, who took over for Wyke after she left the Baldacci administration, followed her lead by jumping to the position as vice president of finance at the university’s Farmington campus (salary: $108,000). He’s since become UMS’s chief lobbyist.

Low’s successor as commissioner, Ellen Schneiter, wandered down what had become a well-trodden path when she became vice president for finance at the Augusta campus (salary: $110,000).

Other refugees from the State House included Richard Thompson, formerly Baldacci’s chief information officer, now holding the same title with the university system for $160,000 annually; Elaine Clark, who moved from overseeing facilities for the state to doing the same for the flagship Orono campus at $121,000 per annum; and Chip Gavin, the ex-director of the Bureau of General Services and now the head of facilities for the university system at a mere $97,000.

The jobs Gavin, Clark, and Schneiter got were advertised and there were several applicants, but the others were hustled into their offices without any public notice.

UMS’s practice of throwing cash around isn’t limited to ex-political appointees. In 2012, in the midst of yet another fiscal crisis, the Portland Press Herald discovered the system had given out more than $7 million in raises to about 1,000 employees, boosting their salaries by anywhere from 5 to 63 percent. For instance, at a time when regular employees hadn’t had a pay increase in three years, the executive director of university outreach at the University of

Southern Maine saw her paycheck grow by $34,500 a year.

James Page, then the newly hired chancellor, acted appalled. “Legitimate questions have been raised,” Page told the Press Herald. But then he double dribbled. “This is a complex issue,” he said. “It needs to be handled with great consideration.”

Translation: After briefly freezing the latest round of raises, I’m going to let them all quietly take effect.

This year, faced with a systemwide shortfall of $36 million, Page announced UMS was “comprehensively restructuring how we do business.” Which is good, because between 2003 and 2013 the seven campuses lost over 4,000 students.

In response, staff was reduced 10 percent. But salaried employees increased 2 percent.

It appears there’s plenty of room for restructuring.

Another possibility: UMS has three campuses in Aroostook County, each with its own independent administration. The three combined have fewer students than the points scored by the UMaine men’s basketball team in a season (i.e., not a large number), yet the expense of overseeing them is greater than that of Southern Maine, which operates three bigger campuses under a single administration.

Page says his plan will be fully implemented by 2019 and will result in $60 million in job cuts, none of them involving people named Demeritt, Wyke, Low, etc.

As with the basketball teams, look for Page to shoot more air balls, make fewer rebounds, and commit lots of fouls. ^

I can’t believe all the b-ball references in this column. I hate that game. Give me polo, anytime. Make sport of me by emailing aldiamon@herniahill.net.

For someone hired to put a positive spin on the systemwide debacle at umaine (er, “help frame the challenges that the university faces,” that is), dan demeritt’s debut as director of public affairs for the university of maine System was something of a pr fail. demeritt formerly served as communications director for Governor paul lepage; he resigned in april, 2011 citing “unresolved business issues” (several properties he owned were foreclosed on). While no one would envy the task of managing lepage’s public image, demeritt didn’t exactly do an inspiring job while in the position. When he left, former broadcast journalist crystal canney (who currently serves as communications director for independent uS Senator angus King) wrote on the maine politics blog: “demeritt was prone to answering media questions in ways that befuddled the average mainer...i believe he was really at a loss about why reporters were not asking the questions he wanted them to ask and why they asked the questions they did. in my opinion, dan never transitioned from the short-term rhetoric of a campaign to the long-term communications around governing.”

But apparently, as al diamon notes on this very page, demeritt was such a catch that umaine waived its traditional search process and hired him at a salary of $125,000 (plus benefits) — more than double what his predecessor was making. meanwhile, the university system continues to flounder, potentially facing millions of dollars in budget cuts. the news of demeritt’s hiring came days before chris o’connor, the popular director of uSm portland Student life, was laid off; earlier this week, uSm announced plans to sell the Stone house in Freeport, which currently serves as home base for the low-residency master of Fine arts in creative Writing program, because it has become too expensive to maintain.. “the combination of arrogance and tone-deafness behind [demeritt’s] hiring boggles the mind,” representatives of the #uSmfuture movement said in a press release announcing their #nomorenice campaign against further cuts. talk about tone deaf — this is demeritt, responding to a thread on the #uSmfuture Facebook page: “We need to find ways to make the value of public higher education relatable to everyone — potential students, stakeholders, donors, policy makers, voters. everyone. Spinning bad news or managing images doesn’t get you there. We need a campaign style approach to public education and coalition building.” if that jargony pap doesn’t reassure you, i’m not sure what will. demerritt, for his part, did some media criticism of his own in his final column for the Kennebec Journal and morning Sentinel, and was even kind enough to offer tips for those hoping to engage him on issues regarding the university system’s future. “use your actual name if you expect those of us who publicly stand by our points of view to take you seriously,” he wrote. “i know i always appreciated hearing from readers whether they were writing to affirm my observations or take me to task for my analysis. i just need to know who is contacting me before i pay attention.”

F in other news, the Portland Press Herald got into some hot water last week when it published this poll question on its website: “Should mike michaud be more open about his sexuality when campaigning in maine?” the question was taken down after readers — who said it was irrelevant and offensive — voiced their outrage...the ellswortH american recently called for michaud to resign over the Veterans affairs scandal; political pundit ethan Strimling said he thought the paper had “jumped the shark” by doing so...and the new rePublic has launched a new website dedicated to domestic policy called Q.e.d. the huffington post said the blog (or, “vertical”) fits into what politico referred to earlier this year as a “wonk bubble” along with Vox. com and Fivethirtyeight.com.

F the timing of this month’s column works out perfectly, as this is MY fINAL Issue as editor of the phoenix. i’m headed to common dreams, the progressive, non-profit news site headquartered in portland. Staff writer nick Schroeder, who’s been with the paper since 2010, is taking my place, and i’m very much looking forward to watching the paper grow and evolve under his leadership. i started as an intern at the Boston phoenix in 2003; things have changed a lot over the past 10 years. But one thing that’s remained constant is the phoenix’s commitment to finding good stories and telling them well. alt-weeklies forever! ^

Perspectives

the future of sex work does canada have the right idea? _B y rya n c o n r a d From massage parlors offering sexual services in Waterville to a wide range of escort services operating out of Sidney, Gorham, Kennebunk, and Augusta to the regular presence of street workers in particular Portland neighborhoods, it’s clear that sex work takes place in Maine. But public conversations about this issue typically revolve around the same salacious and misinformed tropes. In recent months, we’ve seen local politicians like Republican Governor Paul LePage and state representative Amy Volk (R-Scarborough), as well as victims’ rights groups like the Greater Portland Coalition Against Sex Trafficking and Exploitation, conflate all commercial sex with human trafficking.

Meanwhile, just north of the border, Canada is taking a much different approach to policymaking around commercial sex and preventing the trafficking of vulnerable women and children. While Maine politicians, law enforcement officials, and social service agencies seem resistant to anything other than outright prohibition, more progressive thinkers should consider other ways of looking at this unnecessarily controversial issue.

In a historic decision last December, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously struck down all federal laws that criminalized sex work in that country.

The decision came after a court challenge by three women, Terri-Jean Bedford, Amy Lebovitch, and Valerie Scott, all current or former sex workers. The women argued that Canadian laws regulating sex work were unconstitutional, overly broad, and created a dangerous work environment for sex workers by driving them underground.

The act of selling and purchasing sex in Canada was never actually illegal. Laws regulating the selling of sex have existed since the early 1800s in Canada, imported from colonial Britain. Last year’s decision, Canada v. Bedford, overturned three key restrictions related to prostitution; before the Bedford decision, it was illegal to: live off the profits of sex work (pimping), communicate in public for the purpose of sex work, and keep or work in a common bawdy house (brothel).

“Parliament has the power to regulate against nuisances, but not at the cost of the health, safety, and lives of prostitutes,” Canadian Supreme Court chief justice Beverley McLachlin wrote in the decision, indicating that what was at stake was the right of sex workers to work in relative safety, comparative to other kinds of jobs, without undue government interference. In short, Canada’s decision reinforced that sex workers have constitutional rights like everyone else.

The Bedford decision continues, “The prohibitions at issue do not merely impose conditions on how prostitutes operate.

They go a critical step further, by imposing dangerous conditions on prostitution; they prevent people engaged in a risky — but legal — activity from taking steps to protect themselves from the risk.”

commercial sex industry from taking shape in the aftermath of this decision, the Canadian Supreme Court suspended its decision for a year in order to give its government time to craft a regulatory system that does not infringe upon the constitutional rights of sex workers.

Despite this, numerous provinces (Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador) have already signaled that they will stop prosecuting sex-work related charges except in cases of trafficking, coercion, and underage workers. “Trafficking,” as defined by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Canada’s FBI), “involves the recruitment, transportation or harboring of persons for the purpose of exploitation (typically in the sex industry or for forced labor).”

Both liberal and conservative members of parliament appeared to be championing the so-called Nordic model as the future of Canadian regulation of sex work in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision, much to the ire of many sex worker activists. The Nordic model, implemented in Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, is a form of sex work regulation that outlaws the purchasing of sex, but not the selling of sex. The reasoning behind this model is that criminalizing the sex worker, who is deemed to be already in an exploited or weaker position, shouldn’t be criminalized, but “saved.” However, this model problematically presupposes that all sex workers are being exploited and couldn’t possibly choose this field of work of their own volition. An open letter addressed to leaders of all the major political parties in Canada from over 300 Canadian researchers and academics last March opposes the Nordic model and demands that any future policy development be based on evidencebased research, which they claim shows the need for complete decriminalization of buying and selling sex.

Numerous sex worker advocacy organizations formed by current and former sex workers have hailed Canada’s Supreme Court decision decriminalizing sex work as an important victory, but remain cautious

and vigilant in regards to the looming policy battle. Sex worker led organizations like Stella in Montreal and PACE in Vancouver have both been vocal in their opposition to the Nordic model. Similar work fighting violence against and criminalization of sex workers is being done by sex workerled organizations in the United States like the national Sex Worker Outreach Project (swopusa.org) and smaller organizations like New York City’s Streetwise and Safe and Washington DC’s Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive (HIPS.org).

“We don’t want a legal model that penalizes sexual services, we don’t want to criminalize our clients,” Anna-Aude Caouette, a representative of Stella, told the Montreal Gazette. “These workers need to earn a living, and chasing their clients away strips them of that right.”

Last month, the government of Canada concluded its public and online hearings as to how sex work should be regulated, but there is some question as to why sex workers weren’t the primary people consulted — after all, they are the ones most directly impacted by any future regulation and know most intimately what will make them feel safest while working.

In early June, to much anticipation (and then, disappointment) of sex worker advocates and scholars, the conservativeled government of Canada proposed Bill C-36, “The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act.” As expected, this bill takes the Nordic model of criminalizing the purchasing of sex as its backbone, but goes a few steps further by reinstating prohibitions on communicating about and advertising sexual services (by slightly reworking provisions that were struck down in the Bedford decision). It is expected that this legislation, if successfully passed by Parliament this session, will be challenged before the Canadian Supreme Court, much like it was in the streets on June 14 — a nationwide day of protests by sex workers and their allies.

Continued from p 8

Bedford decision, the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform (sexworklawreform. com), is touting the New Zealand model as the best way forward. In that South Pacific country, the 2003 Prostitution Reform Act decriminalized and regulated the commercial sex industry in New Zealand with the goal of increasing safety and safeguarding the human rights of sex workers. This model essentially makes legal the consensual exchange of sex for money between adults and regulates brothels through licensing while maintaining provisions to prohibit underage workers and criminalize forced sex work.

First-hand experiences

two sex workers reflect on their experiences doing that work here in maine, weigh in on the recent changes in canada, and discuss the future of sex work regulation in our state.

f

When and Why did you begin doing sex Work in Maine? sadie: i started doing sex work in my midthirties to support my family by supplementing my income. i always made too much money for welfare as i worked just enough at shit jobs to get by; Section 8 was closed (unless i wanted to take my kid’s and live in a shelter — hell no), and i had to pay rent. So i found some people around southern maine and i kept us going.

ToMMy: i started doing sex work in my early twenties between augusta, [lewiston/ auburn], and portland. i was going back to school and didn’t have health insurance and couldn’t afford my car insurance, so i started doing sex work because of the pay, the flexible hours, and getting to be my own boss. i posted ads on rentboy.com and craigslist for years, supplementing my other income working a regular crappy job that never paid enough.

You’d be surprised how many married and/or closeted guys working in the medical field or state bureaucracies pay for sex, especially the ones coming from out-of-state on business.

CROSSING THE BORDER

But what does all this activity north of the border have to do with Maine? Given that Maine shares a larger border with Canada than any other US state, our proximity to Montréal (North America’s gay porn and sex work capitol), and that we have strong French cultural connections to Quebec and New Brunswick, whatever regulations are developed in Canada by the year’s end will have some impact on our own laws, culture, and economy.

Unlike in Canada, the buying and selling of sex in the United States is itself illegal; state, not federal, law criminalizes such acts. Currently Maine criminalizes the exchange of sex for money under Title 17-A of the Maine Criminal Code where sex work — an arguably consensual act between two adults — is problematically lumped together with sex trafficking — a violent and coercive act — and public indecency.

Currently every state in the United States criminalizes sex work except for Nevada, where sex work is legal in eight rural counties (the trade is confined to a highly regulated, although not particularly sex worker-friendly, brothel industry).

Our northern neighbor’s policy changes are likely to have some ripple effect on Maine and other border states where sex work remains a prevalent underground economy. The Maine International Trade Center touts the importance and interdependence of our economy with Canada’s, noting that millions of dollars of goods and 300,000 people cross the border daily. Mainers already travel to Canadian cities like Montreal for bachelor parties, business trips, college reunions, and vacations; it’s not hard to imagine some of these people availing themselves of sex-related services. Plenty of young Mainers already cross the border to take advantage of Canada’s lower drinking age, why wouldn’t we assume they’d do the same for commercial sex? Clearly from the sheer number of men utilizing Zumba teacher turned sex worker Alexis Wright’s services in Kennebunk, a high demand exists here in Maine. This represents an economic boon for Canada, and a continued loss of potential tax income in Maine.

Wendy Chapkis, a professor of sociology at the University of Southern Maine and author of the groundbreaking 1996 study on the lives of sex workers Live Sex Acts, thinks that the most important outcome of the changing laws in Canada is the opportunity to rethink policy here in Maine.

“I think the bigger impact is likely to be having a model on our doorstep of legalized prostitution that will hopefully have an influence on policy makers as they look at the effects of criminalized prostitution in the US,” she says.

This hope is based on the evidence she uncovered doing her research decades ago. Live Sex Acts compares a country where prostitution is legal (the Netherlands) to a country where prostitution is illegal

a neW slogan another sign from the June 14 protest in canada. (the United States) and asks both sex workers and law enforcement what the advantages and disadvantages are of both criminalization and legalization.

“It was really clear that legalization made prostitution much safer because police weren’t an obstacle or a threat to women who were working in an admittedly dangerous profession” Chapkis says. “It’s really important to have law enforcement that isn’t an additional hazard, but is a resource. That can only be true when prostitution is legal and sex workers have the ability to call the police when there is a problem.”

Chapkis also argues that statistics often used by anti-sex work activists to show how legalization leads to more human trafficking is actually a misreading of the data. It’s true that in places where prostitution is legal, like Germany and the Netherlands, there is a greater number of cases involving human trafficking, which anti-sex work feminists point to as evidence of legalization opening the floodgates to human trafficking. But Chapkis argues: “I think that legalized prostitution encourages the reporting of trafficking [by other sex workers]. So you have more reported cases in places where prostitution is legal, not more cases.”

Chapkis’s logic is reaffirmed by a recent study by American scholar and activist Melissa Ditmore on sex worker organizing in India who points out that sex workers don’t want to compromise their own work environments by allowing coerced or underage prostitution to happen around them because of the increased police presence and harassment such situations invite.

Reflecting on sex work in the historically notorious Parkside neighborhood in Portland that she calls home, Chapkis notes that the nuisances associated with sex work in the

neighborhood are easily resolved.

“I admit that I have found it very annoying when there is drug dealing and prostitution happening late at night in my neighborhood because it’s disruptive and noisy,” Chapkis says. “It’s commercial activity happening in a residential neighborhood. That is the problem. I’m not as concerned about what it is they’re selling, but the fact that they’re doing it late at night in a residential neighborhood.

If we had legalized prostitution and legalized drugs, those kinds of issues would be dealt with through zoning laws.

But right now because it’s all illegal, it just happens anywhere and that means that it’s very hard to control.”

Again the pragmatic approach seems to be decriminalization and common sense regulation to reduce the nuisances, risks, and possible harms associated with sex work — as opposed to outright prohibition.

In light of last year’s Zumba prostitution scandal in Kennebunk, where the small-mindedness of our political leaders, police enforcement, and local media was on full display for the whole world to see, perhaps it’s time to take a cue from our northern neighbors and rethink our prostitution laws. What could a future in Maine look like where commercial sex between consenting adults isn’t criminalized, where personal privacy isn’t invaded, where sex workers enjoy the same rights and benefits as other kinds of workers, and where laws are designed to protect vulnerable minors and end human trafficking without unjustly harassing, prosecuting, and ruining the lives of sex workers and their clients? ^ Ryan Conrad is a PhD candidate in an Interdisciplinary Sexuality Studies program at Concordia University in Montreal and hails from Lewiston.

WhaT do you Think of The reCenT deCriMinalizaTion of sex Work in Canada?

ToMMy: i think it’s great! the fact that we criminalize any form of consensual sex between two adults is crazy. canada’s Supreme court has taken a common sense approach to decriminalizing sex work, which seems so impossible here with all the small-mindedness on display after the Zumba sex work scandal in Kennebunk. sadie: i have felt for a long time that canada is ahead of the uS by leaps and bounds. i feel if i can sell my hands into wage slavery at a factory, why can’t i sell my twat? my actions are only considered criminal because some asshole decided what goes on between my legs, and my sheets, needs regulation. canada has the right idea and if maine had any sense it would follow.

Besides, don’t they want more income tax?

WhaT kind of poliCy Change Would you like To see in Maine To beTTer The lives of sex Workers? sadie: i would like to see this entrapment business end. We pay cops to sit online and troll for sex workers and they package it as a good use of public monies. Seriously? cops say they are saving women (they always act like men don’t do sex work, idiots), but the truth is they are just hurting us. there is a difference between sex work and sex trafficking; can we educate the cops and the public? i want to see the decriminalization of sex in maine, but i want to go further and eventually see prostitution legalized. i want health insurance.

ToMMy: Before we implement any sort of policy change here in maine people need to get educated about the difference between sex work and sex trafficking. there are all these idiots out there trying to ‘save’ sex workers, and i’m like ‘Fuck you!’ We need to develop policies that empower sex workers to work safely and that deal with human trafficking head on and stop talking about them like they are the same thing. human trafficking is never consensual, therefore it’s already illegal. also, everyone needs to stop pretending that women are the only people doing sex work and address the fact that men and trans people are sex workers, too.

‘hold back’ by Katie Bell; acrylic, wood, drywall, foam, laminate, plastic, linoleum, and rope; 12 feet by 18 feet by 1 foot; 2014.

Painting was first declared dead in 1839. Despite frequent repetition of that claim, painting has proved hard to kill off or ignore. Case in point: Katie Bell’s “Face Off” at SPACE Gallery.

Granted, the show is comprised of two sculptures and two site-specific installations. Collectively, they afford the excitement of seeing a young artist develop. Bell, three years out of the Rhode Island School of Design and currently living in Brooklyn, created the works within the past two months or days and they evince a palpable sense of testing possibilities.

“Ladder” is a tall, skinny totem that is tightly covered with horizontal bands of terry cloth. Compared to the other works, it constitutes a tangent into seductive tactility and, lacking conceptual context, appears less successful.

In contrast, clear connections exist between the standalone “Careful Moves” and “Hold Back” on the right wall of the gallery and “Paint Chips” on the left. “Careful Moves,” a slab resting like a stone tablet on a shelf decorated with marble laminate, looks heavier than it is. Made from plaster over insulation foam, its sides feature excessive, flesh-toned (Caucasian-style) impasto, while its white front is smooth except for a few light blue and gray plaster drips and a bright red, bloody gash. It’s probably taking it too far to speak of figurative painting here, but Bell’s work is definitely about painting. Essentially, painterly gesture and geometry battle it out in non-art materials, or profane language if you will.

The building materials that make up “Hold Back” and “Paint Chips” are brandnew and specifically requested by the artist; in conversation she stressed the importance of them looking clean and unused. A palette of lavenders, aquatic blues, and industrial greens with a few orange and yellow highlights appears almost institutional. Any evocation of history is avoided. Instead, full attention is given over to the relationships between the elements. Both works dare painting to come off the wall and inhabit real life. There is a strong sense of the artist wanting to find out what she can get away with especially when using rope in “Hold

Back” to hold things together and defy gravity. The work’s first layer consists of adhesive shelf liners demonstratively and superfluously nailed to the wall, referencing an illusory support structure. Fragments of varying size, shape, and material, some recognizable — like white plastic sheets of a faux brick surface and pieces of molding — are arranged centrifugally, which, instead of destructive feels curiously cumulative and generative. All is held together by an inner tension — and nails, screws, hot glue, and lines of black rope.

The layering, interlacing, and piercing of “Hold Back” is flattened into a design of painted geometric forms that supply the backdrop for holes, gashes, and mounds of plaster in “Paint Chips.” Rather than using a framing device like the shelf liners, it engages the wall directly (all of it, including utilitarian parts). Chips of laminate in colors and wood design protrude from some of the gashes, leaving it teasingly unclear whether they are meant to suggest the illusion of breaking through the wall. “Paint Chips” is basically a hugely magnified abstract painting with splatters of paint and some immensely scaled brushwork in the form of swaths of wallpaper.

Bell has acknowledged Jessica Stockholder as a major influence and has incorporated a tongue-in-cheek reference to her in “Hold Back” — a single plastic orange (Stockholder often uses real ones in her installations). However, Bell thinks more like a painter and in two dimensions. Considering the use of building materials one might also expect references to the ideas of home or place and they are there but not in the obvious sense. A few pebbles the artist picked up at Portland’s waterfront have made it into “Hold Back,” the only natural, nonmanmade elements. Should we then look at this highly intriguing piece as a starburst of flotsam? Do we yet again have evidence of Maine’s hold on an artist’s imagination? ^

theater from puppets to punks

PoRTfRIngE IS BaCK wITH 50+ PERfoRManCES ovER SIx daYS and nIgHTS _BY MEg a n g R uMB l In g Portland is already in the thick of the PortFringe 2014, the city’s third annual festival of eclectic, wide-ranging theater from here and afar. This year’s festival of 50 shows runs June 24-29 at six venues — Empire, Geno’s, Mayo Street Arts, SPACE Gallery, and the Portland Stage Studio Theater and Storefront — and includes a first-ever Family Fringe program.

The intent of PF remains the same as at its inception, says PF organizer Stacey Koloski: to offer a “safe, low-risk opportunity for performance artists to create their work in Portland,” and provide each artist with a venue, marketing, box office services, and 100 percent of box office profits.

This year’s offerings, she says, feature a particular bounty of puppets, dance and movement works, and music-driven shows. The program spans both traditional and experimental forms, and Koloski stresses that the term “fringe festival” is not a code-phrase for obscenity. “There’s literally something for everyone,” she says. “And we have that bawdy, irreverent, naked, and obscene stuff, too.”

Single- and multiple-show PF passes are

f

available at all venue box offices pre-show, and at Coffee By Design throughout the festival. All passes are cash-only and allrush. See portfringe.com for the skinny.

And here’s a round-up of all PF-14 shows:

tHe kId-frIendly famIly frInge festIval includes Brecht for and by kids in The

Abandoned Doll (Allison McCall and Brittany Cook); make-you-own-musical-theater in We Run the Ship (Mohawk Arts Collective); Australian adventure in Dream Time Down Under (Roger James Kuhns); card-cheating corpses in The Lonely Universe Guide to the Other Side (Lynne Cullen and Janet Lynch); and a percussion-enhanced raconteur in Story Drum (Katy Rydell and Meredythe Lindsey).

oodles of puppets and multImedIa acts include the Improvised Puppet Proj-

ect’s Happy Endings; the shadow-puppets and video of Sure-Minded Uncertainties (Cave Dogs); and the puppet bread-breaking of What I Remember About the Day I Forgot (The Kneading Collective). one-person sHows include Réne Johnson’s geel, which explores trauma; Donel critiques industrialized society à la Amiri Baraka in A New Day; and Israel Buffardi

Strategize your PF viewing! my own (longish) short-list:

F The AbAndoned doll (allison mccall and Brittany cook) is a modern re-telling of Bertolt Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle, told with a cast whose ages range from eight to 20.

F The bosTon TriAl of nAked lunch (tim Ferrell) chronicles the obscenity trial of william Burroughs for his drug-addled novel of ex-pat subculture in morocco. in an appropriately disjointed touch, Ferrell’s production makes Burroughs himself the court stenographer.

F in come And Go (stacey Koloski), samuel Beckett’s intricate and masterful micro-drama (or “dramaticule,” as he called it) three old women tell secrets. director Koloski calls it “a shakespearean tragedy taking place in 120 words and less than 10 minutes.”

F The disTAnce of The moon (Figures of speech) adapts italo calvino’s surreal short story of love and the moon, with puppets, actors, and an original score by dave noyes. says director ian Bannon, “ladders are hoisted up to the moon. people eat moon milk.”

F holler: An AppAlAchiAn TrAGedy (the maineland and acteurs sans limites) riffs on Macbeth via folk and modern appalachian traditions. it promises “one actress playing seven roles, sometimes three or four at a time. and some really, really good music.”

F inTimATe leTTers (amaranth productions) marries love letters between composer leoš Janác˘ek and his muse Kamila with a live performance, by the amarantos Quartet, of the musical composition she inspired.

F mAy dAy (tess Van horn) is a staged reading adapted from F. scott Fitzgerald’s short story about the lives of seven characters over the course of one night in new york city.

F The scienTisTs (merkins, daniello & sons) sees wunderkind researchers ebbinhaus, longrais, and weiss trying their research against louis pasteur’s to win the 1888 world’s Fair, and marie curie performing a “science-themed burlesque act.”

F sure-minded uncerTAinTies (cave dogs) uses traditional shadow play and “the sublime effects of light” to explore the nature activism and earth-stewardship. cave dogs say the show is like “lucid dreaming while fully awake.”

F unTimely ripped (tandem theatre) brings movement and Macbeth to its exploration of america’s fascination with h.h. holmes, dubbed america’s First serial Killer, and an interactive set that ultimately becomes “the weapon holmes uses to kill.”

F VAlerie solAnAs AT mATTeAwAn (cauldron & labrys productions), by portland playwright carolyn gage, tells of two feminist activists on a 1968 visit to Valerie solanas, at the insane asylum where she was sent after shooting andy warhol.

great spectacles “Happy Endings,” by the Improvised Puppet Project (left), and “The Society for the Preservation and Promotion of Sapphic Mores Try Their Hands at Radical Cheerleading,” by Maggie Cee and Rachel Kahn. soliloquizes on various hungers in Réflections d’un hédoniste râleur (Reflections of a very hungry Frenchman).

Improv comedy includes shows by the Portland Comedy Co-op and the Turkey Club’s Spontaneous Night of Improv Comedy. travel tales include Depression-era rambling, in Fish Bones: Crummies, Deadheads, and Knights of the Road (Mystery Jig Productions); and a guru-search, in Tough Love (Catherine Wright).

HIstorIcal and documentary-Infused sHows have taken pages from the Burroughs obscenity hearing, in The Boston Trial of Naked Lunch (Tim Ferrell); interviews with former frat brothers in C- (Eric Jaffe); threats to pachyderms, in Elephant in the Room (Grace Fosler); scheming researchers, in The Scientists (Merkins, Daniello and Sons); a subversive artist, in Serial Killers, Country Music and Pickled Punks: Joe Coleman in Vignettes (Curtained Productions); the first American serial killer, in Untimely Ripped (Tandem Theatre Company); and the woman who shot Andy Warhol, in Valerie Solanas At Matteawan (Cauldron & Labrys Productions). two modern classIcs are in the lineup: Beckett’s exquisite Come and Go (Stacey Koloski), and Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago (Ellipsis Productions). musIc-drIven sHows range from lovesong lampoons, in These Things Will Happen (Jetpack Superheroes), to the love-letters and string quartet of Intimate Letters (Amaranth Productions). Look too for Bollywood electric guitar, in The King and the Corpse (Lynne Cullen and Kurt Kish); a cynical musical friendship, in Lucas and Aharon, Friends Forever (Lucas and Aharon); singing tour-guide romance in Off the Coast of North Dakota (ManDamsel & FellaLady).

dance and pHysIcal comedy sHows

include New Works from Vivid Motion; Amanda Huotari’s one-woman party The Soirée (Celebration Barn); an unconventional rendition of The Princess Bride (Little Red Rug); a

redrawing of the Sirens in the surreal You Are Happy (Mountain Empire); and a memory-trip to the 1960s in Aquarian Exposition (SHARP Dance Company). sundry lIterary adaptatIons appear this year, including of Italo Calvino’s Distance of the Moon (Figures of Speech); Macbeth, in Holler: An Appalachian Tragedy (The Maineland and Acteurs sans Limites); Julius Caesar, in I Come to Bury Caesar (Afraid of Greatness Shakespeare); Measure for Measure, in M4M (Joe Quinn); F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story May Day (Tess Van Horn); and Chaucer’s The Miller’s Tale (Mediaeval Madness). comedIc sHows range from talking sandwiches and Elvis, in Bad Dog Wags its Tails (Bad Dog Productions); to Shakespeare and mild bondage, in Captive Audience (Age of Enlightenment); from contract-violating love, in Contractions (Dramatic Repertory Company); to unlikeable slumber-partiers in Bugs (Kenneth Lamb). A little girl timetravels in Jenny1538 (Callie Kimball and Mark Rubin); neurotic farce rules in Which Doctor (Finyette Productions); and the title says it best in The Society for the Preservation and Promotion of Sapphic Mores Try Their Hands at Radical Cheerleading (Maggie Cee and Rachel Kahn). on tHe serIous sIde, Noted (Dragonmaul Productions) explores adultery; a revelation alters a backwoods family in Peach, or Pig Land (Tandem Theatre Company); and a man has a heroin habit in Intervention (Hal Cohen). In We Are The Broken People (Motivational Works of Art) dysfunction cedes to superpowers; and a flashlight, sheet, and ladder create Dungeon (the Dungeon Project).

Wanna shake your ass?

“Charge” with the Toughcats.

toUgh And tUMbLe

a new album of rough ones from the toughcatS

If local music scenes were like baseball, there’d be blogs you could visit for a breakdown of all the statistics: average musicians per band, albums recorded per capita, average years on the scene per band.

And in this latter category Portland would rank in the Top 10, I’m confident.

Maybe the best indication of the talent that has coagulated here is the sheer number of bands who make it to their fourth, fifth, sixth albums. Bands in business for 10 years? Pfft. There are all kinds of them in this town.

Including, now, the Toughcats, a three-piece who have endured by virtue of unique instrumentation and a songwriting and performance style that are consistently interesting. This week, the band North Haven island begat release their fourth full-length album, Rough Ones, and it’s just the kind of thing you’d hope for from musicians who’ve attended more than a single rodeo.

Recorded and mixed over the course of a weekend this past winter, with Ron Harrity on the boards at Forest City Studios in South Portland, this is something of a pullback from 2012’s Woodenball, where they mixed in a more electrified element.

The feel is very live, the sound consistent, and the album to the point. The 12 songs resolve in 34 minutes, and all but two are under three minutes.

They may, in fact, remind you often of seminal ’60s rock, with catchy choruses and easy melodies you can grab onto.

f

FWAX tAbLet

Especially when drummer Jake Greenlaw is doing the writing and singing. His stripped-down kit is probably the most prominent it’s ever been, something indicated right out of the gate, when “Call My Love” fires in with a big bass-snare kick that will make you regret leaving your volume settings too high from a previous listen and maybe remind you of the Police doing “Next to You.” It’s never quite as aggressive as that, though, and the call-and-response in the chorus and the late-song jam are just dying for a house party of people who want to get down. Wanna shake your ass? “Charge!” is a raging jam of an instrumental that’s especially Toughcatsesque, with banjo-player Colin Gulley driving an Scruggs-style right hand and Joe Nelson flat-out smoking his resonator guitar with low-end action like a fourcylinder engine.

The build to crescendo is just short of Phish’s shamelessness and Greenlaw even gives us a couple classic screams in the background. Hard not to love.

The Toughcats can do nuanced, too, though, and Nelson’s “Never Goodbye” is a feel-good throwback that could sit on Tom Petty’s Wildflowers, with that East Coast summer sound. It’s a post-Springsteen kind of rock, bringing in the weariness of the common man who’s nonetheless content with his lot: “Let’s drive for days in summer/ And hold onto the mysteries.” Gully delivers some great pull-offs in the banjo break and a repeating up-stroke strum.

Cave paintings

F Blasting out of the freakers’ fringe this winter was the garage outfit s.s. Cretins. and the blast was instantly hot — the four-piece hammered together the razor-sharp ep the Worst of S.S. cretins, a sonic unity of old world r&B flavor, spastic six-string hooks, and a deep obeisance for the glossed-over worlds of ’60s psych. it felt raw, right, particularly when the group began demonstrating the summoning of those long lost imperfect hits out in public. But that was march; this is now, and the group have pushed forth with their weirdnesses in another dizzy little ep called bootlegs, all five songs oiled and slanky with primitive rock power and punker’s bite. after two records, we can confidently say that S.S. cretins are true students of the professionally shitty sound: the snare action

Greenlaw, with a rasp that grows on you, grabs some highlights with the chorus to “In the Sun” — “All you gotta do is appear/ Living for your heart is just no big deal” — which is catchy enough to keep the song going strong through three full verses, pre-choruses, and choruses, plus an instrumental break.

The vocals are right up front so like an easy Chair Drummer Jake greenlaw laying down some you can make out comfy rhythms. every word, but with the drums drummer, and forays into pop like “Stuck wrapping around him for support, like a in Your Mind Again,” straight-ahead in big comfy easy chair. the way Wilco was on Being There, are all The falsetto Greenlaw employs in “Late the more likable for being just on the Boat” might be one step over the line, outside of what you’d expect. When they though — either silly or clumsy, take your bite McCartney on “She Walked Away pick. And while “Angry Fossil” is another from Me,” it’s with a banjo supplying the great instrumental jam in the open, the melody notes.

Mr. Bungle-style, tightly scripted stuff Ten years in, you could get used to that in the mid-portion, giving way to a slowkind of thing. ^ down that features Gulley on bowed banjo, could harsh your mellow just a tad.

That’s the allure, though. It’s a reROUGH ONES | released by toughcats | at minder that Toughcats have always bull moose, in Portland, and bull moose, in played to the beat of a different kind of brunswick | July 1 | toughcats.com

Bootlegs by S.S. cretins

is splintering; the guitar frequently squalls; and the moaning, groaning vocals convey their messages via madness more than reason. Yeh. do

hear their work at sscretins.bandcamp.com.

F Been tickled to see some new venues for rock/punk/whatever shows recently, among them the back room of Urban Farm Fermentory (where the italian experimental rock band Father murphy threw their dark gauntlet down a couple weeks ago), and this weekend, the WoodFords ClUb, which hosts the anarchist folk/punk band ramshackle Glory, an arizonan group who count accordions and trumpets and organs and total guilelessness in their songwriting. they play with the upstart garage-thrash band sWeet teeth, a newer project fronted by the fearless-as-fuck alison Slattery, and the punk-birthed folk act holy shadoW this Sunday night. the Woodfords is a concert hall usually reserved for classical or

big band or avant-jazz projects, so we dig this curveball pairing very much. Bonus: it’s totally chem-free and donation-based ($5-10 range), though the organizers won’t turn anyone away for lack of funds. always pleased to see folks going off-script about where to play music, and this particular event gets maximum style points for accessibility. 7:30 pm; 179 Woodfords ave.

F out of nowhere, GreG Jamie (o’death, Blood Warrior) and evan Parker (if and it) released a lovely collection of covers last month, tackling songs by cat power, Sun Kil moon, neil Young, Bonnie prince Billy, and others. reverent and serene, it’s right in the wheelhouse of the musical tastes you or someone you love have cultivated the last 10 years. listen: gregjamie-evanparker.bandcamp.com.

FShort Takes xxxx THe inTeRneT’S Own BOY: THe STORY Of aaROn SwaRTz 105 minutes | space gallery Computer prodigy Aaron Swartz became a millionaire at age 19 after Reddit, the social news site he helped create, was sold to Conde Nast Publications; he hanged himself seven years later, in January 2013, when it became clear he faced serious prison time for hacking into an academic digital library and downloading hundreds of journal articles to be uploaded later onto a file-sharing site. Swartz isn’t exactly the martyr that writer-director Brian Knappenberger and everyone interviewed for this documentary insist he is, yet his story raises profound and seemingly intractable questions about corporate ownership of

man from Uganda. His name was Mubarek.

I told him about my quest to learn one dish from every country in the world. Did he, by chance, know of a Ugandan who could teach me a dish? “My sister is a great cook,” he said. “She can teach you. She lives in Boston but she comes up a lot.” He gave me her number. When I called his sister, she responded, “I can teach you. I’ll call when I am in Portland.” Their immediate willingness was shocking.

When she called a couple weeks later, she didn’t even say her name. She just said, “Hello. I am in Portland.” I met her the next morning at the Halal Market. Mubarek was working again. He introduced me to his

sister, Zabib, and their other brother, Haroun, who’d also come up from Boston. They were all going to show me how to cook one of their tribe’s favorite meals: choroko (a type of bean), chapati (flatbread), pilau (rice cooked with meat broth, onions, and spices), and catchambarat (a fresh salad of shaved green peppers, red onion, tomatoes, and carrots dressed in lemon juice).

The bandsaw behind the counter at the Halal Market whirred loudly as Mubarek cut frozen, bone-in goat meat into bite-sized pieces for us. Those went in with the rice and gave it great flavor. Haroun introduced me to choroko, tiny little pond-green beans also known as moong or mung beans. In Vietnam the sprouts grown from these beans are used for garnishing a soup called pho. In Thailand, the sprouts are stirred into pad Thai. In Uganda, cooks boil the dried beans in water until they’re soft and then cook them a second time in oil that has already fried onions, carrots, green peppers,

and salt. Choroko, prepared as they taught it to me, tastes a lot like smoky refried beans.

At their dad’s house, while Haroun cooked the beans and rice, Zabib made the flatbread. She kneaded flour, water, salt, and oil into a loose, wet dough, covered it, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Then she rolled out the dough, cut it into strips, and rolled each strip into a shape like a miniature cinnamon bun. Then she flattened each of these with a rolling pin into a disc about a quarter-inch thick. She cooked the discs one at a time on a hot, dry pan until they turned light in color with toasty brown spots.

The chapati was soft, hot, and delicious.

You break off bite-sized pieces and grab the various parts of the feast with them: beans, salad, or rice pilau. In America, we’d call choroko a bean dip. But eating it with Ugandans, it’s more of a bean grab. Being able to share our differences is a great thing. I hope we all don’t become the same over the years. And amidst our differences, I hope we can all be as awesome to each other as this Ugandan family was to me. ^

The internet’s Own Boy: The story of Aaron swartz

xxW OBviOUS CHiLD 83 minutes | r | nickelodeon + eveningstar cinema Spoiler alert: This flippant New York comedy ends with a trip to the local abortion clinic that’s presented with no more gravity or introspection than a dentist’s appointment, and what begins as a charming romantic comedy turns into a political statement almost in spite of itself. Written and directed by Gillian Robespierre, the movie is a great showcase for the clever TV comedian Jenny Slate, playing a young stand-up comic unlucky in love; dumped by her boyfriend, she hooks up with a cute business student but

before long discovers that she’s pregnant. Like most stand-ups nowadays, the heroine can’t seem to come up with any material that doesn’t involve bodily functions; she never goes near the subject of motherhood, which proves that the filmmakers are scared to death of their own story.

xxW THink Like a Man TOO 105 minutes | pg-13 | westbrook cinemagic + saco cinemagic + auburn I had a good time at this romantic comedy, a sequel to the 2012 hit Think Like a Man, though I can’t really recommend it as a movie. The filmmakers show

no concern for continuity, not only from scene to scene but from shot to shot; one gets the impression this took about as long to edit as it does to watch. This time around the couples from the first film travel to Las Vegas, where two of them are getting married, and the men and women compete to see who can have a wilder weekend before the ceremony. Kevin Hart, a brilliant comic performer who hasn’t yet appeared in a narrative film worthy of his talent, is the main attraction, bringing gusto and spontaneous energy to the familiar material, though the other players-including Michael Ealy, Regina Hall, Wendi McLendon — Covey, and Dennis Haysbert — are never less than charming. Tim Story directed.

dark of the moon in Gemini, (moon void-of-course 11:56 am until 9:05 pm when it moves into cancer. editing, or revising a story or project make sense. Work with less, not more, and remember this is an accident-prone day, particularly for aries, Virgo, pisces, Scorpio, capricorn, and Sagittarius who aren’t getting the whole picture. however, a fine day for ending things if you’re a taurus, and need to hold off on taking action. unless someone is offering to buy you lunch. editing or narrative are excellent activities, particularly for taurus, Gemini, cancer, leo, libra, and aquarius.

Friday June 27

new moon in cancer. a turning point for events begun at the end of may, or that reached a climax around June 13 (the full moon). confidence could be misplaced for capricorn, libra, aquarius, Sagittarius, and aries. are you ambivalent about a loved one? taurus, Gemini, cancer, leo, Virgo, Scorpio, and pisces are perceptive and sensitive with a romantic streak that could make for grand declarations.

Waxing moon in cancer. loyalty and defensiveness could go handin-hand, especially if the desire to stay home dominates (cancer moons can turn the most frenetic folks into couch potatoes). Scorpio, cancer, pisces, Gemini, taurus, Virgo, leo, and Scorpio: pursue affection and desire at all costs. aries, capricorn, libra, Sagittarius, and aquarius: it may be easy to misread someone who’s just not talking loudly enough!

Waxing moon in cancer, moon void-of-course 1:02 am until 8:42 am when it moves into leo. Self-improvement and boasting go hand-in-hand, but this is an excellent day and evening for parties and general frolicking. Scorpio, aquarius, capricorn, pisces, and taurus: let others make the first move, in case you feel clumsy. Gemini, cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, aries, and Sagittarius: be sociable — more than usual. Stick with the people with “childlike wonder.”

Waxing moon in leo, moon void-of-course 10 am until 9:23 pm when it moves into Virgo. a day of big promises, but modest follow-through. double-check everything and don’t be afraid to act like a child or get a toy you’ve long desired. in touch with their better angels: leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, capricorn, aries, and taurus. Willing to experiment, and make interesting mistakes: libra, Scorpio, Gemini, cancer, aquarius, and pisces.

Waxing moon in Virgo. this sign rules the gut, so watch your diet, avoid those people who give you a stomachache and be aware that your “fussy side” could be activated. Virgo moons are super for proofreading or multi-tasking. make those decisions, and reach out to those folks who know more than you if you’re Virgo, leo, cancer, libra, Scorpio, taurus, and capricorn. try not to whine if you’re pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini, aries, and aquarius.

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.
