Case Manager Portland/ lewiston I went to school to be a teacher but once in the field realized social work was my calling. I seemed to attract students who had social, emotional, economic and mental health needs. I wanted to help them and spent time researching services for them and their family. I didn’t realize it then but I was providing case management. For a while I worked in therapeutic foster care as a case manager, the fact that Stepping Stones provided adoption services to families was important to me. I liked the fact that Stepping Stones not only provided services to potential adoptive families but also provided ongoing services to birth parents. I was also impressed with the unique apartment style homeless shelters and I like that services at the shelter are aimed at providing safe, affordable housing to pregnant or parenting women. I work with a diverse population. I support women who are pregnant and participating in an adoption plan; single fathers; families who are in active reunification with their children in State Custody for reasons of abuse and/ or neglect; clients who are in recovery from substance abuse and of course, I work with individuals and families who are homeless. I feel I am successful in my role because I am not judgmental and am a good listener. I offer support and resources but always encourage my clients to take the lead in their treatment planning. It is really great to see clients meet their goals, whether it is reuniting with their children, gaining a job, moving into an apartment - to see a client feel good about their accomplishments is very rewarding.
Katie and Jason
Tabitha
When Katie and Jason 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.
Originally from Machias, Tabitha moved to Portland about 12 years ago for a bigger city life. She is a single Mom with a six year old daughter, is self-employed and a full time student looking to complete her business degree.
After several years of trying to get pregnant they came to the realization that adoption really was going to be their best way of having the family they dreamed of. They called Stepping Stones.
After losing her job as a tile designer everything began to fall apart. She relocated out of state to make a fresh start and re-connect with her family. She fell behind on bills – unable to make ends meet and unable to find work, she moved back to Maine.
adoPtive Parents
“It was really easy. I googled adoption in Maine and Stepping Stones came up and we decided to call and find out more about the adoption process.” “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 supported. We completed all our paper work and settled down to wait to see if and when we would become adoptive parents. Then after a few months 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 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 are just so thankful to have our baby and begin our family.
we’re hiring case managers throughout Maine. Call 1 888 866 0113 for more information steppingstonesusa.org
When we are ready to add to our family – we will certainly work with Stepping Stones again. We had a really good experience – they helped us make our dream of having a family come true.”

“When I first connected with my counselor and case-manager – I was in a bad place dealing with the stress of losing my job and my home – I was sad when I moved back – I had little or no motivation. They gave me hope and the support to build up my resources to turn my life around. The simple fact of losing my job was enough for me to lose my self-confidence, so their hope and belief in me was critical. I remember them saying “It’s going to be OK - we’ll work on this together”. I would strongly recommend Stepping Stones. The program and services are flexible and adapt to your needs – before too long you’re back on your feet, coping with things on your own. They remind you of what you can do and work with you to get your confidence back at handling life’s challenges. Now that I am back in school and have my own place to live - I have big dreams for my future. I know I want to give back and volunteer and I do when time allows. I also have this dream that I can use my skills, passions and experience to fix-up houses to help people who need a place to live and make a fresh start because I know what a difference that can make.”

balanced? USM figures to be hit hardest in 2014-15 operational budget cuts
this Just in UMS dat a arr aNg ed by SUS aN FeiN er
crisis at usm
USM budget deficit split by conflicting philosophies Rumors began circulating in June that USM President Theodora Kalikow would resign. But no one knew Provost Michael Stevenson would follow suit, truncating a three-year contract that was slated to end in June of 2015. Like Kalikow, Stevenson was re-assigned to a different sector of the university system, each retaining the salary of their previous position (Kalikow’s of $203,000; Stevenson’s of $175,000). After Kalikow’s departure, the system Board of Trustees appointed David Flanagan, former CEO of Central Maine Power, to be USM’s interim president. Flanagan will attempt to oversee the closing of a $12 million structural deficit at USM for the coming fiscal year, and begin to move the campus toward the Metropolitan University model. What does the Metropolitan University model signify, exactly? By many accounts, it involves increased “community involvement” for the school, its extensions, and curriculum, though it’s not entirely clear that means substantially more than a heightened awareness on post-graduate job placement. In public remarks upon his appointment, Flanagan declared that “the USM business model is obsolete,” stating that the new one should be “leaner, smaller both in employment and footprint, more agile, less bureaucratic, competitively priced, and offering greater flexibility for students.”

Idiot Box
_by Matt Bors
With a $12 million deficit and a public statement embracing “leaner, smaller campuses” that are “less bureaucratic,” several within the USM community have criticized the system for creating nearly half a million dollars in new administrative positions (including the $125,000 Executive Director of Public Affairs position created for former LePage staffer Dan Demeritt in June), adding to mounting administrative costs within a university system that appears focused on implementing its most severe cost-cutting measures toward core programs at its Portland campus. Flanagan’s appointment coincides with the release of the Board of Trustees’ operating budget for the 2014-15 school year, which reflects systemwide cuts totaling 11.45 million—over 60 percent of which is expected to come from USM, according to public UMS system data. With such a disproportionate number slated to be cut from USM, faculty and students are stepping up criticism, as well as demands for increased transparency for the administration’s criteria.
WHICH METRIC?
Whatever criteria UMS is using to decide where to cut, it doesn’t seem related to the production of degrees. According to system data, the University of Southern
Maine awarded 2019 degrees in 2013 (or 35.7 percent of total degrees awarded in the system). University of Maine in Orono’s output was only slightly more at 2102 (37.1 percent). Yet Orono receives almost twice as much in state appropriations as USM ($82.1 million compared to $41.5 million). Demeritt notes that the discrepancy in state appropriations funding dates back to when the formula was devised over 40 years ago. Today, he says, “the trustees want to put more funding into outcomes-based allo-
awarded benefits or overtime pay. Coincidentally or not, there’s a political component at play as well, as cuts to the arts and humanities coincide with liberal, left-leaning, and anti-corporate sentiment. That would seem less coincidental if the quorum of the system Board of Trustees weren’t appointed by Governor LePage, who has been unequivocal in his preference for free market principles which favor corporate interests above common good. And the hiring of Demeritt, a former GOP political
Coincidentally or not, there’s a political component as well, as cuts to arts and humanities coincide with liberal, left-leaning, and anti-corporate sentiment. cations,” a model which would tie funding to the number of points a campus would earn, for merits such as graduates conferred and degrees awarded within STEM programs. But among the voices opposing the cuts is Susan Feiner, a professor of Economics and Women and Gender Studies at USM. Feiner believes the increased budgetary restrictions on USM is related to a larger, national effort that prioritizes business and managerial interests over education itself. “They’re cutting USM this hard in order to get rid of tenured faculty,” Feiner says. “As they disappear, you can’t offer the majors. When you fire these faculty, you eliminate the capacity of the program to offer the courses required for the degree. You can’t offer the degree. Then they close programs and get rid of more faculty. Whenever they get the threshold they want, they can build it back up with adjuncts.” Feiner suggests one regional example of this practice comes from Southern New Hampshire University, a private not-for-profit school which employs 131 full-time faculty, none of whom are tenured, and notes that a top administrative position there pays $624,000 annually. When administrators talk about increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness, this is what they mean. Higher education has been moving away from the institutional model of tenured-track professors in favor of increased reliance on part-time, adjunct faculty, whose contracts are subject to annual renewal and are seldom
operative for the LePage administration, doesn’t help matters. But the principles of neoliberalism don’t slice easily down party lines, and it may be too soon to determine where Flanagan stands. On the one hand, he noted in his public remarks upon his appointment that “we understand the taxpayers of Maine will not, and should not, support half-empty classrooms and dorms,” a clear statement of an ideology that pushes public resources into the private sphere. But he also pronounced that “we will join the effort to advocate for a restoration of some of the significant appropriations cuts the State has made in university appropriations in recent years,” which would reverse the allocations freeze that Governor LePage implemented in 2011. And while many administrators are embracing new technology in education, like MOOCs (or Massive Open Online Courses), there’s a distinct political component to those as well. By deciding which courses would be taught online (and which lectures those would make up the syllabi of those courses) administrators would essentially have control over the content of those courses. Pitting campuses and degree programs against one another may be standard market-driven practice, but it doesn’t correlate to the principles of a university education, which is traditionally built from the open exchange of ideas and the encouragement of independent thinking. Meanwhile, Students for #USMFuture, a student-run coalition advocating for “better funding for public education, and for transparency and shared governance,” launched a crowdfunding campaign to help finance an independent auditor, which they believe will help clarify ongoing disputes about UMS’ revenue streams.

one Cent’s Worth
politics + other mistakes Dumb and dumber It’s good to know that in Maine, there’s enough stupid to go around. In recent months, many states have reported stupidity shortages, causing industry experts to predict sharp price hikes for idiocy and possible rationing of remaining supplies. The specter of long lines at dopiness outlets and families having to forego traditional numbskull activities has caused some clunkheads to begin hoarding brainlessness. That won’t be happening here. Both Democrats and Republicans in this state appear to have come to a rare bipartisan agreement to increase their production of ridiculosity. “It’s the right thing to do,” said a GOP spokesmoron, dressed in high-water pants and a beanie with a propeller on top and reading from a prepared statement. “Sometimes you have to set aside ideology for the greater good.” For the record, he mispronounced “ideology” and admitted he had no idea what that word means (“Is it, like, the store where you buy ideas?”). As for the Dems, they issued a news release calling for the creation of a strategic stupidity reserve funded by a new tax on people with high IQs. They defined high IQs as “ones with lotsa numbers.” Also, the donkey party promised continued cluelessness about the issues of immigration, welfare, and state spending. But it’s one thing to talk about the problem of a lack of witlessness and quite another to do something about it. Would the major parties have the resolve to back their rhetoric with action? Based on recent developments in the US Senate race, the answer is yes. A couple of weeks ago, Phil Harriman, a Republican analyst for the Portland Press Herald, noted that a new
f

television ad about the plight of Maine workers by Democratic Senate candidate Shenna Bellows, titled “The Working Class Isn’t Making It,” contained stock video of a guy in a warehouse loading boxes who was probably not from Maine. Harriman correctly pointed out the hypocrisy of using an out-of-state actor to portray a local blue-collar guy. The Bellows campaign must have realized it had been a little more foolish than federal stupidity-conservation efforts require. It hastily re-cut the ad to include real Mainers. That should have been the end of this harebrained episode, but the state GOP, knowing we need all the irrationality we can get, rushed out a press release calling attention to Bellows’s boneheaded mistake. “This is just one more amateur-hour effort by the Bellows campaign,” Maine GOP communications director David Sorensen announced (in the only real quote in this column). “When you outsource your campaign to D.C. consultants, this kind of mistake is bound to happen.” Not only did the release detail Bellows’s doltish misstep, but it also provided links to both the original ad and the revised version. That’s right, the Republican Party, in its infinite lack of wisdom, wanted you to watch two TV spots promoting Bellows’s candidacy. As a political strategy, that’s right up there with Governor Paul LePage calling Social Security a form of welfare or Democratic legislative leaders defending giving general assistance to illegal aliens. Until now, Bellows has been struggling to get noticed in her longshot bid to unseat GOP Senator Susan Collins. Polls have shown that even if everybody who’s never heard of her decided to support her, she’d still lose by a landslide margin. Finding a way
_BY zA cK Anch o rS
to convince hundreds of potential voters to view her ad online—where it costs her cash-strapped campaign next to nothing—was just the sort of boost her candidacy needed. It’s now up to Bellows to capitalize on this Republican obsession with publicizing her advertising. In the spirit of the above-mentioned mutual stupidity pact, she should instruct her ad agency to churn out a bunch of spots containing obvious inaccuracies. As soon as the GOP notices, she can quickly throw up corrected versions, confident her opponents will do a fine job of promoting both. Here are some suggested titles for these videos, along with the required revisions: “Collins’s inaction on climate change threatens Maine’s indigenous population of koalas.” (The stock footage of the cute little Australian critters can be edited out and replaced with shots of adorable moose, fluffy piping plovers, or cuddly elvers.) “Bare hunting is cruel and unsightly.” (Scenes of mama bears and cubs romping in the woods would replace porn video of naked, hairy guys running around the wilderness showing off their unsheathed…uh…rifles.) “Steven King has endorsed me.” (Steven with a “v” is the justifiably forgotten star of the 2001 non-blockbuster Alien Factor 2: The Alien Rampage. The later version of this ad features Stephen with a “ph,” who also has several sci-fi dogs to his credit.) “Angus King has endorsed me.” (Oops, she meant Stephen. Just can’t seem to get that right.) “Democrat Bellows saves world from stupidity shortage with help from Republicans.” (No revision necessary.) ^

not GEttInG BY In PoRtLAnD Almost 15 years ago, the journalist Barbara ehrenreich went undercover in portland, maine, as part of an investigation for her soon-to-be-bestselling book nickel and Dimed: on (not) getting By in america. her goal: discover how unskilled workers in America live off the extremely low wages they earn. her strategy: hide her professional credentials (including a phd in Biology), move to a new place, and try to find a job and a home as an unskilled worker without any substantial resources or contacts. At the time, the federal and state minimum wage was $5.15, and president Bill clinton had recently signed the Welfare Act of 1996, which pushed millions of poor Americans off government assistance and into jobs that would pay about that much. ehrenreich wanted to understand the circumstances of those workers by finding out if she “could match income to expenses, as the truly poor attempt to do every day.” in maine, the best she could manage was a gloomy room at a motel in old orchard Beach, one weekday job cleaning mcmansions for $6.75 per hour, and a weekend job as an assistant at a nursing home earning $7 per hour. long hours of exhausting and often demoralizing work earned her just enough to scrape by, but only after seeking food assistance and briefly breaking the rules of her experiment to seek help for a medical problem. in other words, she found that the wages being earned by millions of hardworking Americans during a period of unprecedented prosperity, when the tech boom was in full swing, were hardly enough to keep them from sinking into poverty—for those who weren’t there already. ehrenreich picked portland, among several other cities, for her economic experiment because it offered a typical environment for American workers (and because her whiteness wouldn’t count as an advantage in an especially white state). portland has become a lot less typical since then. it’s evolved from a gritty port city perceived as long past its prime to an increasingly prosperous tourist magnet and foodie hub that’s regularly featured in “best of” lists and glossy magazines. the city’s economy, and especially its real estate market, is booming, and gentrification is a potent force reshaping many neighborhoods. But it’s striking how much is the same for low-wage workers. there’s been lots of talk about the scarcity of affordable housing on the portland peninsula lately, but 15 years ago the only housing ehrenreich could find in the city limits were condos and “executive apartments” with rents higher than $1,000 a month. And something else that hasn’t changed much is wages. When you take account of inflation, maine’s minimum wage today is only slightly higher than it was in the late 1990s. And recent census data show that the 2013 median wage for housekeepers in the greater portland region is basically the same, after taking account of inflation, as what ehrenreich earned cleaning homes when writing her book. this continuity in the circumstances facing workers is worth keeping in mind as a local conversation builds about how to make portland an affordable place to live for people of all economic backgrounds. rent used to be cheaper, but the struggles of low-income residents have deep roots, and are tied to national trends just as much as local ones. the main reason that workers are barely scraping by today is that costs associated with education, health care and child-rearing have exploded over the last couple decades while wages have stagnated throughout the nation during the same period. last year the median wage for American workers hit its lowest level since 1998, even as wages for the top earners soared. portland mayor michael Brennan has proposed creating a citywide minimum wage that’s a couple bucks higher than the state minimum wage, as i reported in the Phoenix last month. taking small steps like that could certainly help improve the lot of lowincome portland residents and give folks in ehrenreich’s situation a leg up. But the bigger impact of increasing wages locally, in maine and elsewhere, might be to build more upward pressure on wages throughout the state and the nation. if enough cities and states push wages steeply higher, the vast majority of workers who don’t live in progressive cities like portland might eventually feel the impact. portland hasn’t been an easy place for poor people to live anytime during this generation because the plight of low-income Americans throughout the nation has been on the decline for decades. reversing the broader trend towards greater inequality is the only way to ensure that portland doesn’t become solely a playground for the gentry. ^

VENA’S FIZZ HOUSE The soda flavors will bursT in your mouTh and make you feel refreshed afTer one sip BY SIERRA APONTE CLARkE
As I walked into the Vena’s fizz house I immediately got the feeling of an old soda parlor. There was funky old music, a soda bar, and spinning parlor chairs. I got to sample four drinks but I had one favorite, the Cherry Lime Rickey. This drink is full of fruity flavor and there is just the right amount of cherry and lime to make it amazing and refreshing. This soda is made from all-natural ingredients like fresh squeezed lime, sweetened cherry juice, seltzer, spiced cherry bitters, and cane sugar. This sweet drink was so good I had three cups. Another drink I had was the Strawberry Mint Shrub. I did not like this one for many reasons, like how the mint overpowers the strawberries, and also that the mix of flavors made the drink taste a little like mouthwash. But that was just my taste buds. Other people liked it though—my counselor Lily said, “Yeah, I really liked that one.” After that I had the Orange Tootsie Pop. This one I also did not like, probably because I am not a big fan of Tootsie Rolls. Then my palate got refreshed from the Little Lads herbal corn that the bartenders gave us. I would recommend Vena’s Fizz House for creative and fun sodas that are all made from natural and organic ingredients. This place is a perfect place to hang out with your friends. Just make sure that you like the ingredients in your soda because some are pretty interesting and could be new to you.
bubbly bliss
BY ELINOR hILTON Vena’s Fizz House is not only an all-natural soda parlor, but also an experience. The door opens into a small jumbled shop filled with funky glasses, old-fashioned paper straws, and oodles of other drinkrelated paraphernalia. Upstairs, the bar is lined with black stools facing a wall of mismatched bottles with handwritten labels. The ceiling lights are dimmed but the sunlight from outside shines through a single window. Opposite the bar is more seating facing a mirror-lined wall. A chalkboard lists the flavors like an ice cream shop. Strawberry-Mint Shrub is a grapefruit juice-colored spritzer with a strong mint flavor and hints of strawberry. The bitter mint was overpowering and left a taste of toothpaste in my mouth. This combination was a disheartening way to start my tasting. The next drink to amuse my taste buds almost made me forget about the rough beginning. The Cherry Lime Rickey was refreshing and flavorful, with a light pink hue. Both the cherry and lime flavors were expressed well and left behind a fresh, clean feeling. The last drink I tried, “Maine Fire,” combined Maine maple syrup, ghost pepper extract, Maine apple cider vinegar, with Fire and Damnation bitters. (Bitters are a group of herbs with a primarily bitter taste that balance out the other flavors in a drink.) This concoction was both delicious and dangerous. It started out tasting plain and sweet, but after a few moments a blast of ghost pepper hit me right in the throat, creating an addictive
One of the many reasons Portland is such a smart literary city is the Telling Room, the nonprofit writing center for youth aged 6 to 18. Every year, the organization hosts workshops, residencies, and camps where young writers can find their voice, working with dedicated staff and volunteer mentors from the community. Two weeks ago, the organization hosted Review Camp, a week-long forum where greater Portland students (aged 10-14) learned to write critically about arts and cultural activities in the area, training their sights on a music video by indie-pop singer-songwriter Sara Hallie Richardson, the newish soda parlor Vena’s Fizz House in the Old Port, and art shows at SPACE Gallery and the Portland Museum of Art. Writing critical reviews is a delicate art. Ours is a small, heavily interconnected city with a lot of passionate artists and aestheticians, and the task of writing truthful, unbiased opinions about someone’s work can be intimidating. Nobody wants to offend or dismiss somebody unfairly, yet most would agree that those assessments of local arts and culture which consistently lack any critical tone can often be a little suspect. It’s a fine line to walk, as these ten students found out. Phoenix contributors Deirdre Fulton and Christopher Gray and managing editor Nick Schroeder were invited to volunteer to help hone the critical voices of these young writers (as was the Press Herald’s Aimsel Ponti), and we think the results gave us insights about local art that were thoughtful, witty, unpredictable, and very honest.

Vena’s Fizz House, Portland’s mixology shop, can only be described as a hidden treasure found if you wander off the beaten path. Owned by Johanna and Steve Corman, this cute and quirky little shop is best known for its soda bar and mixology store, a place where some of the finest and natural ingredients from around Maine come together to create a bubbling drink for you. When entering the store you first lay eyes upon the gift shop area. This is where you can purchase detailed glasses, liquid flavors so you can make your own creations at home, and many other gifts that can either be given away for Christmas or just kept for yourself. After touring the gift shop area a small staircase leads you up to the soda bar. A dark wood bar sits at the center while smaller ones lay against the walls, giving plenty of room for sitting down and drinking a glass of soda. The shop is filled with splashes of color everywhere, giving off a very spirited and joyful vibe. The bar’s menu does have a wide variety of drinks, one of which I tasted and found very pleasing was the Cherry Lime Rickey. A dark, reddishpink drink that reminds me of Christmas was very refreshing to say the least and the

Vena’s Fizz House is only one of Portland’s treasures that you can find scattered around, a hospitable little establishment that should be on everyone’s list to visit. If the sound of Vena’s Fizz House piques your interest, it can be found at the corner of Fore Street and Silver Street, across from the Portland Regency Hotel and Spa.

When walking into Vena’s Fizz House, one might get the sense that they have just walked into an herbal cuckoo shop. Do your best to avoid the intriguing objects for sale, that range from shiny glass bottles to The Bartender’s Handbook, and make your way up the few steps of stairs. There you will find yourself in what looks, at first sight, like a normal bar. Look around however, and you will most likely realize that this is no ordinary bar. This is a…SODA BAR!

ange sign with the white strings of Christmas lights could tip you off, or maybe it will be the large television on the wall (that is off), or perhaps the sample jug with an orange-ish concoction. Whatever it is, you will soon notice that Vena’s is different. If you choose to sit down, grab a stool and sit while observing the comings and goings of the customers. While there, I happened to sample four different drinks:
#1 - sTRAWbERRy-MINT sHRub In your drink you will find little leaves (are they the shrub?), but don’t shy away, because when you sip down this
strawberry beverage, you will be pleasantly surprised—that is, if you like mint. The drinking of the liquid forces you to sniff the mint, a smell that mixes quite nicely with the taste of the sweet strawberry. I did notice, however, that the fizz stayed in your mouth even after the drink was gone.
#2 - CHERRy LIME RICkEy This drink tastes, first and foremost, like rhubarb pie, liquidized. It is not as fizzy as the strawberry mint shrub, but it makes up for that by having a nice lemonade taste as you drink more. Surprisingly, this drink feels like an ice cube in your mouth, just more watery. The rhubarb may be the
cherry, which tastes a bit like maraschino. You could almost say it is like a lollipop, but what would that make the next drink?
#3 - oRANGE TooTsIE-pop A personal favorite, the Orange TootsiePop might as well be a Tootsie roll in a cup. Once swallowing this delicious drink you will practically breathe it, keeping the taste in your mouth even longer. Not much more about this drink can be said besides…try it!
#4 - MAINE FIRE If the name doesn’t tip you off, this drink is not for the faint of throat. You could get
the same effect of this drink by dropping cinnamon and pepper into water (before the spice, it actually tastes like water!). Interestingly, unlike most spicy things, the spice lingers in your throat instead of your tongue. I managed to count how long the spice stayed in my mouth, and I got up to a shocking twenty seconds. Overall, Vena’s is worth going to, especially on a hot day. Just look at what’s in your drink before you order it.

richard esTes’s work amazes The world wiTh remarkably realisTic painTings
adam John manley is sTaying puT aT space gallery BY ELIzA FOWLER
BY MORGAN APONTE CLARkE
Imagine a photograph of Times Square: bright lights, people rushing, and reflections, lots of reflections. Now imagine a painting of Times Square. Maybe to you, a painting isn’t as realistic as a photograph. But in the case of Richard Estes, a painting is just as realistic. When you first walk into the exhibit you see his most famous works, mostly paintings of New York. As you travel through the rooms, you come to pass more paintings of New York scenes. In the back of the exhibit hall are paintings of the coast of Maine. These works do not look as realistic as the paintings of cities. The water looks more like a painting of water than a photograph of water, and the people look like paintings as well. These works are still lovely, just not as realistic as his other works. As you walk back along the other side of the exhibit, there are some paintings of Japanese cities. As you continue along the wall, the paintings of Japan transition into more New York scenes, which, like the former, are amazing. Next, you see paintings of arctic seascapes, these are beautiful, but as with the ones from Maine, they are not as realistic. I did have two favorites: “Antarctica” (2007), and “Sea of Marmara” (1998). These two combine the beauty of the arctic (“Antarctica”), gorgeous sunsets (“Sea of Marmara”), and the unbelievable realism of what you expect from Estes’s work. In “Antarctica,” the water is shimmering like the ocean does to the naked eye, and the snow captures the sunlight like real snow. The painting gives you the illusion that you have been transported to the arctic. In “Sea of Marmara,” a peaceful sunset is portrayed on an ocean. Once again, the water is real, moving as an ocean would. The sunset is eerie; a yellowish light casts over the water, but it is beautiful. You transition into more scenes of New York City, from a painting of Times Square that tricks your eyes for it looks like a photograph, to a double self-portrait of Estes himself through a window frame of a shut down store. Estes’s work captures light in reflection unlike any work I have seen. Expecting paintings which try to capture reflection, I was surprised when he successfully did. His work is magical, like a photograph; it catapults you into the picture, but unlike a photograph it prompts you to think more. You think about how he makes each brushstroke look so smooth and real. How he manages to paint small

True works of arT: richard esTes’s painTings are a sighT for everyone
Richard Estes’s exhibit Realism has been at the Portland Museum of Art since May 22nd. I’ve seen this exhibit already, but this time I’m here as a critic, determined not to be overwhelmed by the fifty paintings, some of them taller than me. I start at the back winding my way from canvas to canvas. These pieces simply blow me away. Each tiny detail painted to perfection with love and care as if Estes had a contract with each building, each wave, to do them justice. The art is meant to be realistic—hence the name Realism—and the intricacy is astonishing. This collection of work covers over fifty years of Estes’s talent. One of the earlier paintings, “Double Self Portrait,” is amazingly accurate in showing his own reflection through the glass windows of two buildings across from each other, his figure appearing twice. He is leaning over a large camera on a tripod—his body bent at the middle. This piece displays Estes’s skills as both a photographer and a painter. A newer example of this artist’s ability is “Sea of Marmara.” This portrays a beautiful sunset, showing the watery reflection of the fading light on the rippling sea. Estes has effectively captured the art of reflections. In an even more recent piece, Estes plays with reflection again. “Checkout” is a confusing depiction of a drug store, decorated for Valentine’s Day. The combination of shiny red hearts hanging from the ceiling and the faces of costumers and cashiers is mindboggling. As if that weren’t enough, the painting includes an array of mirrors, glass, and other reflective materials, making it incredibly hard to decipher what is happening. Although this shows incredible talent, this piece is cluttered and lacks balance. This exhibit explores representational art as I have never seen it before. Instead of making me feel talentless, Estes’s ability inspires me. Despite the feeling of overstimulation left with me as I exited, this exhibit is certainly worth the price of admission.
BY ThADDEUS ShAIN
The Portland Museum of Art has a new exhibition: Realism. Richard Estes is the painter and his paintings are works of art that capture the journey of a man with a camera in the Big Apple. They are so vivid, they look like snapshots that he took while walking down the street. This kind of painting is called photorealism, and if you look closely you can see the small paint lines, the tiny details, and the reflections in the windows. The painting “Times Square” shows small details such as the ads on the screens and the people everywhere. The shadows are in the perfect spots to make the city look 3D, almost as though you are looking through a window. When you look at these paintings you can tell he took days to paint them, and that he used very tiny brushes that make it look that way. In the exhibit there is also a hallway where you can see some of his photographs. They look almost the same as his paintings, but instead of paintbrushes there are small pixels from the camera. The first section of the exhibit called “New York” is on the wall near one of the entrances. It talks about Estes’s life and about his move from Chicago, Illinois, to New York in 1956. The paintings show scenes of New York, with cars, Times Square, and the small stores that Estes must have seen. Another part of the exhibit shows Estes’s work in Maine and reveals his connection with our state. Most paintings in this section show our state’s wild places. Unfortunately, one of Estes’s best and most famous paintings, “Telephone Booths,” is absent from the show. These paintings span a 50-year period of his lifetime. They are truly beautiful works of art and are dazzling to the human eye. You will want to come back again and again to see these incredible paintings.

Imagine being on a boat and an empty table and four chairs float by. Would you think, “how weird?” Or “how extraordinary?” The last thing you’d probably think is “how completely normal!” In each picture at the Staying Put exhibit by Adam John Manley, a traditional dining table and chairs drift around in busy harbors, sleepy coves, and quiet ponds. This exhibit at SPACE Gallery leads the viewer around a room to different scenes, telling a story of a dining table’s many adventures. The installation floats through a bustling harbor, then a still, glass pond. Some of the scenes seem so lively, kind of like a television on mute. Other scenes are peaceful and calm, making the onlooker’s breath slow down, giving them a feeling of relaxation. The gallery itself has a great atmosphere, smelling like fresh paint and every time a car roars by, a cool breeze engulfs the room. Staying Put changes the viewer’s perspective about everyday objects, making it worth seeing twice.
space gallery arTisT Turns everyday Things inTo crazy arT BY LUCY hOWE
When I first walked into Adam John Manley’s art exhibit Staying Put, I thought it was really interesting. In the middle of the room was the main piece. To anyone else it was a dining set, but to Manley, it was something that told the world about who he is as an artist. Around the room, there were pictures of Manley’s four chair glossy wooden dining set floating in different bodies of water. I think that the reason Manley called this piece Staying Put is because you could be sitting at the table doing whatever it is you’re doing and at the same time be floating out to sea or in the middle of a pond or lake. You probably wouldn’t want to jump in a swim to shore so you would have to stay put. If you are looking for something to do with your family, friends or just by yourself then SPACE Gallery is where you should go because of the unique art and great atmosphere.
space gallery exhibiT finds meaning in homebuilding maTerials BY SIRI PIERCE
Face Off, an exhibition by Katie Bell currently at SPACE Gallery, brings a new twist to art installation in galleries.
portlAnd.thephoenix.com | the portlAnd phoenix | August 8, 2014 11
There are four installations, all of which are made of old homebuilding materials, which play with the idea of home. We spoke to Nat May, the executive director at SPACE Gallery, and he told us that the artist spent five days installing, and even asked the Portland community for old homebuilding materials. He said, “We like it when the artist messes up the gallery!” And he is not exaggerating. When you see “Paint Chips,” one of the installations, you will know what he means. With holes and slits in the wall it will not be an easy thing to fix, but that is what makes “Paint Chips” my favorite of the four. This piece is the wall, rather than being on the wall. Its painted backdrop is overlapped with pastel colored triangles of all different shapes and sizes, and textured white strips of material covering the center. Then there is what looks like crumpled paper stuck on the wall, 2D shapes veering out in the slits on the wall, dripping paint too. It really looks like a wall slathered by students about to leave for summer break. “Hold Back,” the installation across the gallery is the opposite, close together in pile form whereas “Paint Chips” is spread out around the wall. Overall the installations really make you think deeper into the meaning behind the materials. This exhibit is abstract in meaning and looks. I left with lots of questions,
the grandest was, why is the exhibit called Face Off? Even though I left somewhat puzzled, I really enjoyed just sitting and looking at each piece taking it all in, and absorbing the complexity of her work.
Face OFF smacks of pollock and kandinsky in regards To apparenT randomness BY SAM DAVIES
If I were to suggest an alternate title for the current main exhibit at Space Gallery, it would be this: The Exploits of the Mad Contractor. It’s especially applicable considering that the artist, Katie Bell, is “...constantly evaluating the materials that make up the concept of home.” The main reason, however, is that each piece appears to have been created by taking a selection of building materials and tacking them together to create something far more intriguing than a two-bed/two-bath suburban abode. Upon entering, the first two works on the left are “Careful Moves” and “Ladder.” The former is a kind of three-dimensional minimalist painting, a piece of foam board with blobs of blue and grey acrylic paint in the upper right corner and a bright red gash in the lower left. The latter (pun rather painfully intended) is, as one might guess, a wooden pole wrapped in towels which gradually transition in color from green at the bottom to white at the top.
SArA HALLIE rICHArdSON music video by sara hallie richardson capTures The spiriT of imaginaTion BY SIRI P IE RCE
Sara Hallie Richardson’s music video for her song “What it Would Be Like” is a visual puzzle, accompanied by a unique mix of instruments, and of course her beautiful voice. From my sense, the video is interpreting her feelings about a person she loves into settings, representing different parts of her imagination: a winter wonderland, a dark attic, and a beach where there are brightly dressed dancers. The visual aspects are very creative and well pictured. Whereas the music is rhythmic and not forced, I felt there were parts where the instrumentals came across stronger than the vocals. The music and video went together like bread and butter except not as plain. The details were so articulate: the animal prints in the snow, the crab crawling out of its hole, and the pretty chained jewelry dangled on the arms coming out of the floor. While watching, I had to pay full attention to understand the story going on, but when I watched it a second time I gave up and decided to just let my imagination do the work. If you ever happen to be browsing YouTube, I would definitely have a look at this video. With its uplifting spirit, catchy chorus, and light choreography, I would be surprised if anyone didn’t just want to get up and dance with the dancers. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the video or if that kind of music isn’t your favorite. Believe me, this video is worth your time and imagination.
instruments in the song which makes it sound better. There is some electric guitar, drums, and some piano. In the beginning of the video she is walking through a snow covered Christmas tree farm. It appears to be around New Year’s because the farm is deserted. The middle part is my least favorite part because she is in a dark room and I have no idea what’s going on. They are all dancing in a dark barn and all you can see are hands going up in the air. Also, I don’t think the video had anything to do with the lyrics. Near the end there is a beach scene where she walks out on a beach and there are people frozen in a yoga pose. Then she starts walking toward them and when she reaches them they all unfreeze and start dancing. It is weird. All in all, I think that you should listen to this song if you like singer/songwriters or any slow/fast music.

On the left is “Paint Chips”, which covers the wall with haphazard splatters of foam and skewers it with jagged shards of cardboard. Combined, they seem to resemble a still frame of a class action-worthy explosion. All in all, Ms. Bell provides an evocative experience, which left me questioning the possible meanings of a home renovation.

In this joyful, emotional video for “What Would It Be Like,” Richardson does a great job of expressing her feelings. With help from director Jeff Griecci and fellow producer Ryan Jarochym, she also made this video have interesting setting changes, from a winter forest, to an old attic, and finally at a Maine beach. These setting changes also may be confusing because you are in so many places in one video. The beginning is slow and choppy, which in my opinion is not that pleasant. Then the tempo speeds up into a faster, more upbeat song. I think this is a fun song because the drumbeat and Sara’s lovely voice just make you want to sing and dance along to this awesome song. OveralI, the video was entertaining. I would recommend this song to people who like singer-songwriters, are interested in local music, or just like Sara Hallie Rich-

local arTisT sara hallie richardson makes a hiT, buT where did she aim? BY OTTO WOLYNIEC
The music video “What Would It Be Like”, written and co-produced by Sara Hallie Richardson, starts off with an eye-blasting white landscape speckled with trees. The song begins slowly, with a word every few seconds, but eventually grows into something a steady rhythmic beat you can sing along to. The lyrics of the song are quite nonsensical, like: “You call yourself a phonometrician!” or sometimes very disjointed like: “The. Heat. Light. Sound.” Granted, the song can be very odd at times, but it has its good moments, which those are…I’ll leave up to you. Different landscapes flash by on the screen: a dark, dusty, house; someone walking along a beach. The woman singing the song, Richardson, has appeared, and the song is being wholeheartedly sung. In full winter garb, she starts running toward some unseen place. The scene changes, and she has been plopped into the before-mentioned house, where she is definitely using her lungs now! Through the floor, odd hands pop out of the mist, seeming to point somewhere. The scene changes again, and Richardson finds herself on a beach, now clad in a green summer dress. As she looks down the beach, she finds that she is not alone. Down the beach, there are people in frozen yoga positions. She walks towards them, singing softer now, and as she gets close, they start moving and dancing. Now in the full climax of the song, Richardson joins the dancers and starts joyously parading along the beach with them. Then, all of a sudden, as the song is ending, all of the dancers are gone, leaving Richardson alone, gazing about questionably with only the crashing of the waves. Maybe it was all a dream, or the “heat light” addled her brain. ^

(as we see it) kicks off with a bang. Having been bit by the rock and roll version of rabies, the incredulously named BOB LOG III barfs his growly, buttshaking blues all over the Press Room in Portsmouth tonight. For the uninitiated, he’s got a kick drum, a six-string, an old drum machine and a telephone receiver welded onto a helmet, into which he yawps songs like “I Want Your Shit On My Leg,” “Boob Scotch,” and “Bump Pow! Bump Bump Bump Pow! Bump Pow! Bump Bump Bump, Baby! Bump Pow! Bump Bump Bump Pow! Bump Pow! Bump Bump Bump!” Not the most high-brow entertainment, but if you’ve ever got drunk and set something on fire that you shouldn’t have, this show is probably for you. With deliciously-named THE PORK TORTA. $7 at 9:00 pm; 77 Daniel St, Portsmouth, NH. 603.431.5186. MAN WITH CAMEL | Portland photographer Brendan Bullock opens a globe-spanning solo exhibition at PHOPA GALLERY this evening. Titled Travel Journals,
Bullock’s photography amounts to much more than a tourist portfolio. Ranging between vivid, evocative, candid photos and meditative, strikingly composed landscapes, the images retain a sense of personality and wonder that, at times, will leave you feeling envious of the long road traveled to bring them here. (If only your Instagram was as good as his.) Reception 5-7 pm; 132 Washington Ave. 207.517.0200. MEDIA OFFLINE | Was your neighbor shrieking something about a Final Cut rendering error early Sunday morning? Chances are they were involved in Portland’s 48 HOUR FILM FESTIVAL that took place last weekend. Filmmakers formed teams, received genres, and raced to complete a short film within 48 hours, all while meeting specific criteria. The finished products are being screened at the Nickelodeon this evening at 7 and 9:30. Quality ranges from professional to somewhatless-than-professional, but the cinematic leap-of-faith is worth the price of admission alone. $8; 1 Temple St., 207.772.4022. WHAT A TWIST | You must be crazy if you thought you were going to miss LES SORcIERS PERdUS
dramatic re-imagining of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece Dune directed by the man who brought you El Topo and Holy Mountain, with production design by H.R. Geiger and soundtrack by Pink Floyd? “Impossible!” you might exclaim, “the only Dune I know of is whatever it was David Lynch gave us in 1984, and the satisfying but somewhat lackluster 2000 Sci-Fi Channel miniseries!” Well, you would be correct. Jodorowsky’s Dune was so mindbogglingly massive that no studio would touch it. But the whole thing gets a retrospective treatment in an enjoyable documentary called (aptly enough) JOdOROWSKY’S dUNE. Screening at 7 pm (in partnership with SPACE Gallery) at the Portland Museum of Art. Check film listings for additional times. $6-$8; 7 Congress Square, 207.775.6148. SIX-COURSE SOUND | Here’s an event that’s a bit off the beaten path, both music-wise and venue-wise. NASHAZ is a Middle Eastern jazz trio led by oudist of renown Brian Prunka. While we’re somewhat loathe to use the term, Nashaz’s previous musical works embody all the positive aspects of “jazz fusion.” Blending a distinctly Arabic sound with a jazz framework and elements of improvisation, Nashaz pulls the weary traveler from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean and back again. It’s all quite enjoyable. Brian is joined by percussionist
Eric LaPerna and qanoon(!) player Duncan Hardy. You can find all this tonight at the residence/ event space of prolific morningwalker Jay York (aka Jay York’s Last Church on the Left), at 58 Wilmot St. 207.773.3434.
saturday 9 LENNON-ISM | Listen, we know
this is the fourth film event this week, but we just can’t help it. While the music and beer aspects of KahBang have fallen by the wayside (we hope to see them rise again) the KAHBANG FILM FESTIVAL is still carrying the torch. Our pick out of the fairly varied selection they’re offering is Jon Lefkovitz’s Rubber Soul, an interesting and faithful reenactment of two very different interviews given by the late John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The film is coming off a SXSW premiere, a mention in Rolling Stone and features former Portlandite Joseph Bearor as Lennon. Undeniably a top pick for those who consider new Fab Four trivia to be manna from heaven. 4 pm at One Longfellow Square. $5 per ticket, $20 for a weekend pass. Check film listings for the full festival, or call 207.761.1757. SPOOK WALK | Anyone with a basic knowledge of English Lit will tell you that looking for ghosts along ramparts will

JOHN BROWN’S BOdY, MIGHTY MYSTIc, NEW KINGSTON and others to push the groove into familiar territory. Boat shoes and bandanas join in the spirit of togetherness. Tickets $35-$45. Maine State Pier, intersection of Commercial and Franklin Sts. 207.358.9327. UP YOUR ALLEY | Scavenger hunt! Finally, there’s a type of hunting everyone can get behind. This very D-I-Y event is called PORTLANd MAINE
ALLEY cAT: THE ETERNAL cAT NAP. It is equal parts bike race,
scavenger hunt, and costume party. Solo riders or teams (up to four people) dress up as cats/ vampires/slayers/anything and bike around the city completing challenges and finding hidden locations. Colloquially referred to as an “Alley Cat,” Portland gets its first taste at a sweet, silly victory. There will be prizes and a post-party announced at the start, look up the Facebook event for more info (we told you it was low-budget). Meet up at 5 pm at
Congress Square Park, Intersection of Congress and High Sts.
monday 11 A LITTLE PICKY | Folksy string bands come and go, but VINEGAR cREEK cONSTITUENcY have been carrying on hollering and strumming for almost a decade now. They possess all the good parts of an earnest Americana revival band, with little of the shtick that can make that kind of music seem disingenuous or overly-commercial. Blue has done us a favor by bringing them to town, so don’t miss out. They’ll be tuned up and ready to go by 6:30 pm; 650 Congress St 207.774.4111. CRAIC HEADS | If you’d rather have your string band whisk you away to the stony slopes of Donegal, you’ve got two options this evening. Byrne’s Irish Pub is holding an IRISH SESSION at 7 pm, at 98 Center St, Bath (207.443.6776). Or, for an experience with a more traditional spelling, there’s an IRISH SEISUN WITH JUNIOR STEVENS up at the Black Bear Pub at 215 Roosevelt Trail, Naples 207.693.4770. Both places are sure to be picking faster than the hounds at Mullingar, and singing softer than the backside of a Wicklow sheep. The choice is yours.
which is being hosted at (and in honor of) the Gilsland Farm’s environmental center. $5-$10 entry fee. Bring your cup to 20 Gilsland Farm Rd, Falmouth. 207.781.2330. SURFACE VALUE | Visually probing a more anthropological aesthetic, ARTSTREAM STUdIO GALLERY hosts Facade, a series of paintings by Denis Luzuriaga, whose more provocative pieces portray angst in a way that is modern, fleshy and unceremonious. On display through Aug 30 at 10 Second St., Dover, NH. 603.516.8500.

WEdnEsday 13 AT LAST | A few issues back, we dropped hints in Wax Tablet about how excited we were for tonight’s cLASH OF THE TITANS:
ETTA JAMES VS. ARETHA FRANKLIN. Well, it’s here. Aretha (Kristina Kentigian) and Ella (Colleen Clark) will be socking it to you at Empire. Tickets are $6. 10 pm at 575 Congress St., 207.879.8988. LAW BLONDES | Tradition: it’s not just for stuffy old justices anymore. Seeking her juris doctor, Elle Woods, gets the songand-dance treatment in the musical version of LEGALLY BLONDE at the Arundel Barn Playhouse through Aug 16.Today at 2 and 8 pm. 53 Old Post Rd., Kennebunk. 207.985.5552.
tuEsday 12 EXTINCT IRRUPTION | A
serendipitous collision of events is happening over at the MAINE AUdUBON SOcIETY this evening. Portland artist and illustrator Jada Fitch is displaying Recently Extinct Birds of North America, a gorgeous series of now-extinct birds rendered as if caught posing for formal portraits (her Bachman’s Warbler gazes at the viewer with the disdain of ancient Flemish nobility). You can peruse all this (and muse on things lost) whilst sipping local beer at Portland Greendrinks’ August elbow-rub,

From the varying deliveries and styles through the three fully instrumental tracks, there’s a lot to consider here.
FIRE ON FIRE
CaRO KHaN iNTRODUCe THemSelVeS aS pyRoNaUTs
Should you have spent a good amount of time reading through superhero comics while earning your degree in English literature, Austin Grossman has a novel for you: Soon I Will Be Invincible, a polyphonic piece where every interior monologue is delivered by someone with “super powers”—whether they want to have them or not. Just how does a caped crusader earn a living? Drink a beer amongst company? Decide to try to conquer the Earth? Should the book ever be made into a film, Caro Khan’s “Superheroes” must surely be on the soundtrack. Off the duo’s debut album, Pyronauts, it is six minutes of the most thoughtful discursion on caped vigilantism ever laid down over a beat. Featuring a verse each from brothers TJ and Chris Whitmore, the piece is driven by a simple bass line climbing up, with a drum kit played heavy on the snare and high hat. Then a synth line cuts through like light saber. You can see the reverbed fingers moving on the Casio keyboard while something like a dog barking bounces deep in the mix. TJ opens, etching out a reluctant hero down on his luck: “a good Samaritan turned embarrassment.” His is a forceful whisper, not so much sinister as an aside. “How can I save the world,” he wonders, “when I can’t save myself?” But it’s actually way less corny than that sounds. It’s all in the delivery. And Chris’s delivery one-ups him. He’s moodier, with a bit more body, slinking

around “with his briefs turned beige” like he’s just done a bunch of opium. He’s in your left ear, your right. He’s conspiratorial and asking for a bit of empathy. “I used to want to be a scientist and make cures for the sick / But now I’m serving the system” and “the howl of the draft is, in fact, my theme song.” I played it back four times off the first listen. Caro Khan can have that effect on you. Not every track is instantly engaging, but many of them might have you clicking back to readjust your expectations. The title track is as much Nine Inch Nails as anything else, with Chris rapping at a steady clip, only to have TJ cut underneath with a rasp that’s black as your soul. And holy shit is that little keyboard solo well placed as a reset. Later, Chris brings in elements of vintage Zach de la Rocha and Anthony Kiedis in “Badman,” a tune that sketches out a cartoon character with a “Sabotage”-style alarm blaring underneath. The middle verse is particularly nice, dancing along the crisp back-of-the-throat sounds with references to Okefenokee, Veruca Salt, and Haruki Murakami’s cat. He sneaks in Bukowski, to boot, in the first verse. “7/11” has to be ironic, with all the talk of whips and a booming voice just repeating “dirty.” It’s damn close to Iggy Azalea, even when Chris is namedropping Iggy Pop. Somehow, though, it works. There’s 100 percent investment. Just as there is in the quirky “Stuck in an Elevator,” with
swirling synths like a slow wind. Chris’s spoken delivery is mesmerizing: “The airwaves and the cosmos, and an empty sea / The faceless man on the radio,” with a lilt to suggest singing on that last bit, as a nice touch on a brief, 2:22 piece. From the varying deliveries and styles through the three fully instrumental tracks, there’s a lot to consider here, with equal attractions in playing it loud in the car with the windows down and in the headphones. It’s definitely the introduction of the best new hip hop collaboration locally since the first Trails record in 2011. ^
flavors of Cake and Beck, from the crinkling finger snaps to the playful nostalgia that accompanies lines like, “every moment got delayed / Why couldn’t I wait until everybody turned away?” “V838” and “Old Dream” are more sedate, whispered and sanguine, the former driven by a bass so low you can barely make it out, the latter as indie rock as a Harpswell Sound track (they even work in a creaking chair, like they recorded the thing in an old barn). Really, the sunshiney guitar riff and rippling reverb could have been on Ray LaMontagne’s new album, and, hey, Caro Khan have a new song called “Airwaves,” too. But where “Ray” is all pseudo-psych, this is spare and industrial, beats and

of the club in portland next year. And there’s still a full schedule through the summer—including shows by Audrey ryan (Aug 7), mount eerie (sep 19), and a screening of local filmmaker John Fireman’s scintillating feature Sigrid on her 14th Birthday (Aug 15)—before a big finish the last weekend of september, where an outdoor festival hosts performances by favorites Big Blood, diane cluck, Plains, lady lamb the Beekeeper, and more. Visit theoakandtheax.com for details. F listen, death is only the beginning. that explains Post MorteM Portland, a new portland-centric metal blog started by photographer and writer Ben mccanna. post mortem bills itself as a “photographic account of heavy music in portland, maine”—one of those things you didn’t realize was lacking until it’s there. But photos notwithstanding, he’s undertaken the ambitious project of compiling a “master list” of every heavy band in greater portland, active or otherwise, and
is soliciting community help. mccanna has set some stipulation for what makes it on the list, some of it logical (bands must have played at least two shows); some subjective (no punk, hip hop, or indie-rock crossovers); some rigorous (bands must have at least 100 Facebook followers). We can think of about twenty people off the top of our heads who would spend weeks geeking out about something like this. Visit postmortemportland. wordpress.com or follow the witty and astute twitter feed @postmortempWm for more info. F We never really weighed in on this self-titled greef album from last fall; thankfully its dour and mostly gorgeous folk experimentalism hasn’t gotten old. seven tracks of dizzy, gut-punching song snippets, found sound, and hazy instrumental tinkering from the fine tastes of Butcher Boy’s pete swegart. definitely a personal, lo-fi affair, and one that really pulls together several conflicting moods. map it out at greef.bandcamp.com.

The Ax to fall
F some somber, sobering news to emerge out of Biddeford: the oaK and the ax is closing its doors at the end of september, ending its run as one of the most interesting music venues/cultural resistance parlors in southern maine. helmed by musician greg Jamie, the Ax has hosted a fearless number of shows over the last four years, generally three or four a week, offering a crucial just-outside-of-portland location for touring national acts (Amen dunes, daniel higgs, mV & ee, humAnWine, Brown Bird, michael hurley, cass mccombs, chris pureka, etc.), remote mainers (taBoo, ancestral diet, When Particles collide, JacoB augustine, coKe Weed), and countless portland artists (herBcraft, dave gutter, lisa/liza, the ghost of Paul revere, saMuel JaMes—you name it).

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

coping with adulthood central provisions vs. old port wisdom _By Bria n duff For years now the Old Port has been the place where young Mainers go to get black-out drunk. Getting wasted is the misguided way young people seek to jumpstart grown up experience—after a youth in which parents arranged playdates, collaborated on homework, and otherwise immersed themselves in childhood rather than modeling adulthood. Intoxication sloughs off our self-consciousness—specifically the consciousness that we have no idea how to connect with people and manage relationships. In My Struggle, his epic of self-examination and failed adulthood, Karl Ove Knausgård’s describes his life-changing discovery at age fourteen of “that clear, pure sensation that arose with approaching intoxication, and the desire to pursue it that always followed.” But these days the city wants the Old Port to grow up—which is one reason new businesses there are required to offer a menu, rather than just drinks and Jell-o shots. And the neighborhood’s newish Central Provisions is grown up. But it also embodies our ambivalence about adulthood, and our persistent hope that a few more drinks will help us cope with it. Central Provisions is undoubtedly a fine restaurant. But whether it’s also a place to get wasted depends in part on

Based on a 2008 comic book series, it deliberately obscures the hero’s divine parentage and emphasizes his more human qualities, such as his fighting skill and his rapport with common people. This has the potential for a reflective, revisionist comic book movie a la The Dark Knight, but Rattner clearly doesn’t see it, giving the viewer little to think about between the computerenhanced battle sequences. As the titular character, Dwayne Johnson is likable during the occasional stretches of dialogue,
which door you enter. Through the front door on Fore St., where a small number of tables line the handsome space dominated by the open kitchen, you can indulge in a meal of sophisticated small plates. But the space crunch up there (and a noreservation policy) means you are likely to be sent down and around back on Wharf St., where a bar surrounded by ample standing room encourages drinking and mingling over formal dining. Sitting upstairs, the most important piece of consciousness to escape is that all these small plates must be adding up to some serious cash—especially since they are so thoughtful, interesting, and wellexecuted that you order more. The menu spans a range of approaches and ingredients, from New England to Asia to Spain, without seeming haphazard. Each dish seems like a complete idea unto itself. Among the best were radishes roasted until some caramelized sweetness emerged, but still retaining the bite of bitter. Roast onion complemented the sweetness, while nori and miso deepened the savory side. Another dish caramelized sheep cheese until dark with crunch and chew, and sandwiched it around barely sweet roasted peach. A salad paired chewy-crispy pieces of pork with a funky sour dressing.
Duck liver was creamy and mild on crostini, animated by the salty crunch of fried shallots and a hint of kumquats THE CRUNCH AND THE CREAM central provisions’ house sheep’s cheese sour-sweet. Even the or an untucked oxford shirt, as many panear misses were pretty good. But lobster trons do, you are squarely in the Old Port toast lost the meat within two slices of tradition. That’s the uniform for playing bread, and the curry dipping sauce was at adulthood, getting into some adultoddly sweet. Octopus perhaps relied too style trouble, and readiness to step up much on the flavor of char, and the beans (adult-style) to take care of friends who lose underneath didn’t add much. Little fried control. Even the restaurant’s uniform of arancini rice balls were cheesy and rich, checkered shirts (and beards and/or pomade but it was hard to detect either the ham or for men) invokes the current fashion of the spice in the tomato sauce. nostalgia for a working-class manhood that While upstairs the service is smooth and seemed simpler and easier to embody. An the pace managed expertly, downstairs, adventurous palate with sophisticated taste where the drinks really flow, things get is another dubious indicator of contemmore haphazard and plates often arrive in porary adulthood, and Central Provisions the wrong spot. But the drinks are quite offers ample opportunity to indulge our pregood—like a silver fizz that uses egg white tentions to maturity either way—through to add texture to a refreshing sort of gimlet, drink or cuisine, old Old Port or new. ^ or the corpse reviver that combines bourbon and citrus flavors into a cocktail that looks sweet but drinks bitter-sour. $$ CENTRAL PROVISIONS | 414 Fore St, You can also drink spiked punch out of Portland | 11 am-midnight (dinner menu starts big bowls.

The HundredFoot Journey
xW THe HUnDReD-FOOT JOURneY 122 minutes | nicKelodeon + sAco cinemAgic + westbrooK cinemAgic A Muslim family, fleeing religious persecution in India, land in a French alpine village and dare to open a restaurant across the street from a Michelin-starred place that’s commanded by a haughty old widow (Helen Mirren). Produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey and directed by the reliably complacent Lasse Halström (Chocolat, Dear John), this middlebrow drama delivers just what you’d expect from such a trio: two hours of yummy dishes
and nonthreatening ethnics. I’ll spare you my usual rant about the decadence of foodies, but it should be obvious by now that, despite their discerning tastes, the movies catering to them are the artistic equivalent of dinner at the Olive Garden.
Screenwriter Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things) adapted a best-selling first novel by former Forbes correspondent Richard C. Morais; among the cast are Om Puri, Manish Dayal, and Charlotte Le Bon.
_J.r. Jones
89 minutes | nicKelodeon + clArKs pond + sAco cinemAgic + westbrooK cinemAgic + Auburn The intended audience for this disaster movie-cum-CGI showcase would seem to be people who found Twister too intellectually demanding. The characters are all automatons and the story is streamlined past the point of any emotional resonance, the better for viewers to enjoy the large-scale destruction. The film reminded me of a bargain-basement monster movie from the 1950s, in that the monster—or in this case, the level-five tornado—is the only interesting element. Veteran comic actor Matt Walsh (Veep) plays a storm chaser, and it speaks to the filmmakers’ paucity of imagination that they don’t even allow him to be funny. Steven Quale (Final Destination 5) directed.

If you’re paying attention to your environment you know when the full moon is approaching without even looking up. This full moon is the Dog Day’s moon, also known as the “Moon When Everything Ripens,” (Dakota Sioux). Coming on the weekend, this means all festive and social occasions are definitely enhanced—so plan your party now! And speaking of “social,” do visit me on Facebook, where I have the “Sally Cragin Astrology” page.

Waxing moon in capricorn. sunday’s full moon gives everyone crazy manic energy, but capricorn influence is sobering. Are you feeling cornered, or that you don’t have as many options as usual? libra, Aries, cancer, gemini, and leo: negotiations don’t find you at your best (whereas making demands comes a little too-o-o easily). scorpio, sagittarius, capricorn, Aquarius, pisces, taurus, and Virgo: follow your instincts, and go for broke. 15

Waxing moon in Aquarius (moon void-of-course 4:09 am until 9:52 am in capricorn). there should be a word for “the day before the full moon,” just as “the dark of the moon” applies to the day before new moon. Full mooniness is in bloom, particularly for chatterbox Aquarius, libra, gemini, pisces, capricorn, Aries, and sagittarius. regret and chagrin could blemish the good moods of taurus, leo, scorpio, Virgo, and cancer. 16

Full moon in Aquarius, moon void-of-course 6:12 pm until 8:55 am monday. today and tomorrow are wonderful days for meeting old friends, new friends from exotic locales, or finding a completely fanciful solution, particularly for sagittarius, capricorn, Aquarius, pisces, Aries, libra, and gemini. leo, taurus, cancer, Virgo, and scorpio could be overextended, or frustrated by people who can’t be consistent. 17

Waxing moon in capricorn (moon void-of-course in sagittarius until 9:38 am). today’s lunar phase urges us all to look at finances, compute longterm expenses, or working with heavy tools. capricorn moons are excellent for working long hours and making good executive decisions, particularly for scorpio, sagittarius, capricorn, Aquarius, pisces, taurus, and Virgo. libra, Aries, leo, gemini, and cancer could be forced into making rash decisions. 14

Waning moon in Aries. We are still really close to the full moon, and Aries moons are excellent for taking initiative, or reaching out to large groups of people. Fresh starts come easily to Aquarius, pisces, Aries, taurus, gemini, leo, and sagittarius. however, if you love those folks, you may feel exhausted early in the day! (particularly capricorn, libra, scorpio, and cancer who are grumpy). 20

Waning moon in pisces. Yesterday was the “dog day moon,” and you can expect howling from Virgo, gemini, sagittarius, libra, and leo. however, this is a good day for appreciating photography, or going behind the curtain (literally or metaphorically). Also, a fine day to hear from someone you think of as reclusive (those birds make rare appearances). You don’t have to be a pisces to have a thing about shoes, and capricorn, Aquarius, pisces, Aries, taurus, cancer, and scorpio have super taste and instincts. 18

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.
