facing program cuts, university moves critical meeting to fort kent
This weekend, environmentally-conscious Mainers have two solid options for living into their beliefs toward an ecologically sound world. In Unity from Friday to Sunday, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) will host the 37th annual Common Ground Fair. And in New York City all week (but especially on Sunday), over 1000 organizations nationally have partnered to put on the People’s Climate March—the largest climate activist event in history. Both events will bring together large numbers of people from different backgrounds and experiences. Both will be filled with teaching, learning, art, and music. And both have an emphasis on concrete, tangible action. What’s an environmentalist to do? Here’s the details for both:
f
F Common Ground Country Fair Host: maine organic Farmers and Gardeners association Location: common Ground Fairgrounds, Unity, me dates and times: Friday, September 19 - Sunday September 21, 9 am – 5 pm How to get there: Rideshare, ride your bike, or take the train!
Cost: $10 in advance/$15 at the gate. moFGa members, volunteers, and kids under 12 get in free. numbers Expected: 60,000 over three days What to expect: common Ground is a wonderland of examples of simple and sustainable living, and those setting the example are an eclectic bunch. moFGa’s website states, “it’s an event like no other, that brings together so many people from so many walks of life, all in the spirit of celebrating the rural and agricultural traditions of maine.” You’ll find old-timers and punk anarchists, young farming couples and wealthy new Yorkers, solar technicians, native american basket-weavers, and 4h kids. there are hundreds of workshops, skillshares, and talks: as you weave your way through the fair, you can watch a timber framing or sheep dog demo, take a workshop on trimming goat hooves, or hop on a guided walk in the woods to forage mushrooms. meet maine artisans. have your garlic judged. taste maple syrup. contradance. eat. no really, eat a lot. From deep-fried shitake mushrooms to blueberry crisp, it’s all organic and from primarily maine-grown ingredients. common Ground is an otherworldly experience. For three
short days, the world that is in maine comes together to show the potential of the world that can be. as the fair’s founding director (and Friday’s keynote speaker) chaitanya York says, “the power of the fair comes from its manifestation of ‘right livelihood.” Where to get more information: mofga. org/thefair F PEoPLE’s CLimatE marCH Location: central park West between 65th and 86th streets, new York city dates: Sunday, September 21, 11:30 am (additional events all weekend) How to get there: Find a seat on one of the thirteen chartered buses going anytime between Friday and Saturday night ($30), take a train, carpool, or start biking (a crew left maine for nYc this past Wednesday September)! Cost: Free. numbers Expected: 250,000+ What to expect: it’s anticipated that this is the biggest climate activist event ever organized—and just in time for United nations climate Summit meetings scheduled to happen in new York this week. over 1000 groups have come together in a feat of unprecedented collaboration to organize a massive gathering while the global spotlight is on new York and the decisions made at the climate summit. maine Sierra club president Glen brand remarks that this joint effort is “an expression of the widespread and growing consensus across every part of society that we must act now to stop the worst effects of climate disruption.” marchers will walk over two miles, led by those in frontline communities who are first and most impacted by climate change, demanding the replacement of the use of fossil fuels with 100 percent clean, renewable power as soon as possible. part protest and part parade, Sierra club maine says that the march will be “family-friendly, peaceful, safe and fun.” there are guaranteed to be puppets, floats, massive banners, marching bands, and lots of art. in the days leading up to and following the march, dozens more events are planned. and for those craving more radical resistance, there are plans to flood Wall Street with protesters on monday to highlight corporate profiteering from climate change. the march is being called “the movement of movements”, and as the website proclaims, “to change everything, we need everyone.” Where to get more information: peoplesclimate.org; #floodwallstreet, maine.sierraclub.org (for transportation options) _Heather Foran
if you’re not angry about what’s happening at the University of Southern maine, it’s time to pay attention. despite ongoing protests, powers-that-be at the public university appear to be taking steady steps toward the vision of a metropolitan University as defined by its increasingly private-sector-driven board of trustees, a vision which appears to involve the slow dismantling of its humanities departments, the decreased influence and leverage of teachers’ unions, and an evolution toward becoming a workforce-training school for maine businesses. earlier this month, newly appointed president david Flanagan announced the decision to move ahead with cuts to the university’s degree programs in Geosciences and american and new england Studies, as well as lewistonauburn’s arts and humanities department. last Friday, roughly 40 to 50 students and faculty protested the board of trustees’ decision to move a critical public meeting scheduled September 22—where they’re expected to make a final vote on whether to cut the programs originally proposed for elimination back in march—from the portland campus to Fort Kent, nearly five hours away, a move which University system spokespeople have said—absurdly—was made due to “weather considerations.” Students and faculty demanded the board move the meeting back to its original location. “Whatever the board’s reasons for moving this meeting to Fort Kent,” said meaghan laSala, a USm student and activist in the #StudentsforUSmFuture movement launched when program and faculty cuts were first announced in march, “it cannot trump the students’ and faculty’s right to speak out at this meeting about their livelihoods and their future.” according to laSala, those slated to be cut are “popular programs,” which “serve vital roles in our community, staffing museums and cultural institutions, studying pollution in our environment, fostering critical thinking, and preserving the rich creative tradition of southern maine.” For believers in public higher education, it gets worse. also last Friday, it was reported that Governor lepage, whose appointments since taking office have stacked the board of trustees with conservative donors, antilabor lawyers, and corporate executives, has nominated

“bring the meeting back” Students and faculty protest the UMS Board of Trustees’ decision to move the vote on program cuts five hours north to Fort Kent. three new names to the board, including conservative blogger and free-market proponent Susan dench; bank vice-president James donnelly; and Samuel collins, brother of state Senator Susan collins and owner of the S.W. collins company, which donated to lepage’s re-election committee earlier this year. the same goes for dench. “as new hotels and million-dollar condos sprout up around portland,” laSala says, “as private money pours into this region, and as portland is consistently ranked in national media as a highly desirable place to live, we need as a community to assert that this region can afford a comprehensive public university that working people can afford.“ UmS spokesperson (and former lepage staffer) dan demeritt told reporters that the meeting would not be moved from Fort Kent. When asked if a bot meeting had ever been moved before, he demurred, later writing in an email to the Phoenix that, “anecdotally, (the board has) moved meetings in the past from where they were originally scheduled,” but did not provide examples. regardless, USm students and faculty will attend the board meeting at Fort Kent on monday, September 22, with a free bus leaving campus Sunday at 11 am and returning monday at 6 pm. email studentsforusmfuture@gmail. com for more information. _Nick Schroeder

CARVING out SPACE f
i grew up in portland. i graduated from high school— albeit with poor grades. my family didn’t ask me to try harder in school, and encouraged me to write poems instead. i had friends and lovers and found solace in going to hardcore shows at the Station, a local billiards hall now known as racks. i experienced an amount of distress awarded to any disengaged, outcast teen but trusted i would stay safe on the weekends. my parents followed suit. i was one lucky punk. i was also one fortunate queer and transgender teenager. my adolescence contained enough sense of freedom that i felt no strong inclination to come out as anything, or admit my identity. i was supported and unthreatened to such a degree that, in order to feel okay coming of age within my heteronormative surroundings, i felt no urge to find a space where only queers and their allies were allowed. i hold tremendous privilege to have grown up that way. Which is why, when i was invited in 2012 to be a writing mentor at portland’s queer youth drop-in center, outright (formerly known as prYSm: proud rainbow Youth of Southern maine), i was honored to work with young folks who were willing to share a space they wanted or needed, with me. outright is an lGbtQQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning) and allied youth-driven program described by the organization as “a queer youth movement fighting oppressions with tenderness.” it is the umbrella organization that holds two weekly programs: drop-in, which serves lGbtQQ+ and allied people ages 14-22 by providing a space to “find support, make friends, and get engaged with the lGbtQ community,” says Sara osgood, program coordinator, and rainbow Group, which osgood explains “primarily serves young people who are currently accessing services at the preble Street teen center,” recognizing that queer youth are more likely than their heterosexual peers to experience homelessness. outright programs, in nature, work in solidarity with movements focused on gender, racial, economic, environmental, and disability justice, and “work towards breaking down the systematic barriers that young lGbtQQ people face everyday created by specifically homophobia, transphobia, and ageism,” says osgood. osgood describes her role with participants as “a mash-up of mentor, friend, personal cheerleader, listening ear.” She grew up in small town new hampshire, earned a degree in Queer Studies, Social Work and history of Social movements at hampshire college, and finally chose portland as her home. She’s been working with young folks since she was one herself. “i’ve been teaching and learning over and over again the value of youth-driven spaces, intergenerational organizing, accountability in communities, trust, and tenderness,” she says. “i do this work because it matters. because young people, especially lGbtQQ+ young people, deserve to have spaces where they feel heard, valued, supported, and loved.” i asked outright participants what they find here that they can’t find elsewhere. one response: “this group gives me support which guides me throughout some very hard times. When i am scared it’s my safe place.” and another: “everyone is welcomed. nobody is judged. You can be silly.” i asked about the important lessons they’ve learned by being part of outright. “i learned that i’m not alone when i am struggling.” outright programs are a space to attempt the healing of effects of systematic oppressions, but they’re also a space to make friends, laugh, and celebrate. to get involved, osgood simply suggests, “Show up!” Showing up, of course, is contingent on the visibility of the program. i urge you to tell young folks about outright. my amiable experience as a queer teen had nothing to do with confidence. i was comfortable in my perceived straightness, my family structure, and my day-to-day. my circumstances made a fine foundation for the survivability of growing up in predominantly heterosexual spaces that did not reflect my identity. this isn’t the case for many young queers. they might like to know there is space made specifically for them—space to imagine a more queer utopia. ^

politics + other mistakes Take the gamble Governments need stuff to regulate. Otherwise, we wouldn’t need governments. Fortunately for our government, Maine has all sorts of substances and activities that, left unregulated, would threaten the very stability of society. Like, for instance, milk. In this state, government sets the minimum price at which moo juice can be sold in order to safeguard us from the looming threat of cheap milk. Maine also has an entire department dedicated to protecting consumers from the dangers posed by unlicensed landscape architects, rogue cosmetologists, outlaw athletic trainers, and ersatz interior decorators. Which is why terrorists will never undermine America using ugly shrubs, bad haircuts, flabby abs, or hideous lampshades. And, as I’ve noted many times before, Maine does a first-rate job of making sure locally sold liquor is always offered at artificially inflated prices, thereby shielding us from the hazards posed by inexpensive cocktails. Also, it boosts New Hampshire’s booze profits. I’m proud to pay taxes to support these vital regulatory efforts. Although, to be strictly accurate, I’m lying about that. These government-imposed restrictions hardly comprise a complete inventory of the areas in which the publicly funded bureaucracy protects us with its meddling. Compiling such a list would require far more space than my meager weekly allotment—even if I deleted all the smart-ass comments. But I must mention one subject of government regulation that’s even more irrational than those above: Gambling. Betting on things is perfectly legal so long as it’s done through the staterun lottery, by investing in the stock

market, or by buying a raffle ticket to benefit the church building fund. It’s also OK to wager at state-sanctioned horse racing tracks, off-track betting parlors, Indian-run high-stakes bingo games, aboard the ferry from Portland to Nova Scotia, or in either of Maine’s two voter-approved casinos. But that’s it. Well, except for online gambling sites, football pools, and under-thetable payoffs for all manner of gaming at fraternal and veterans clubs. None of which is legal. But, hey, you can’t effectively regulate everything, and sometimes you have to cut otherwise-law-abiding citizens some slack in order to prioritize resources to make sure those landscape architects aren’t running amuck. In spite of the fact that gambling is a societal norm, the Maine Legislature remains convinced that it falls into the category of insufficiently regulated fun. So it recently spent $150,000 to hire a consultant to figure out how the state can to do a better job of making it more complicated for its citizens to engage in games of chance. Unlike another recent consultant’s report paid for with taxpayer dollars, this one doesn’t appear to be plagiarized. Its recommendation that Maine should license two more casinos—a big one run by corporate interests in the south to suck in tourists, and a small one run by Native Americans in the north to suck in Native Americans—isn’t exactly original, but you can’t criticize somebody for stating the obvious. Well, actually you can if you’re paying them 150 grand. Among the report’s other suggestions are that Maine take bids for new casinos, with the license fee starting at $1 million a year for the first five years. Plus a $300,000 application fee. Don’t forget the annual $100
payment for each slot machine. The required $250 million initial investment in the facility. And the 3 to 4 percent of profits each year that must be plowed back into capital improvements. Existing casinos aren’t subject to most of these regulations. Instead, they write checks to the state totaling over $50 million per year that fund such vital services as harness racing, education, breeding harnessracing horses, and operating the Maine Gambling Control Board, which oversees their operations and wouldn’t otherwise be necessary. So there’s an obvious public benefit. I’m not a consultant. Although I would like to be one when I grow up, because unlike my other occupational options—homeless person, welfare recipient, newspaper columnist—it pays well and doesn’t require much thinking. But if I were a consultant, I’d offer Maine’s government some contrarian advice: Let the marketplace decide how much gambling the state needs. Sure, charge anybody who wants to open a casino a six-figure application fee and seven-figure license fee. Require them to pay for the oversight needed to make sure they’re not running crooked games. And force them to fork over a portion of their profits for worthy public projects, such as hiring consultants. But let anybody without a conviction for unlicensed athletic training or applying off-the-books hair extensions open all the casinos they’d like. Most of them will fail, but so what? Eliminating government’s responsibility to limit gambling in Maine will free up resources for the state to regulate an industry that really needs it: Consultants. ^

outing private violence usm film sCreening offers ColleCtive response for dv viCtims and advoCates _ B y n i Ck sC hr o ed er
hard looks In Private Violence, Domestic violence survivor Deanna Walters views a series of hospital photos taken after she was kidnapped by her estranged husband.
E
verybody knows domestic violence is a serious issue. The problem is knowing exactly where it lives. “We need to come up with a more appropriate definition,” says Kit Gruelle in a phone call to the Phoenix. For close to 30 years, Gruelle has been working as a community educator and advocate for DV victims in North Carolina, helping to bring cases of unreported, underpenalized violence against women to justice. Gruelle is also the driving force behind Private Violence, a 2014 documentary screening Monday, September 22, at the University of Southern Maine’s Hannaford Hall in Portland—a free public event which, aided by a discussion forum with Gruelle
and members of local support groups for victims of domestic violence, should spark a necessary community discussion on a difficult topic. As documentaries go, Private Violence is one that— unfortunately—doesn’t figure to lose timeliness anytime soon. The film assays domestic violence and the endemic of battered women via the lens of one very difficult case, that of Oklahoma woman Deanna Walters, who with Gruelle’s help filed federal charges against her abusive husband Robbie, who, among other crimes, kidnapped Deanna and their daughter and brought her across state lines, severely beating her for several hours. It gives nothing away to say that one of the primary targets for both Gruelle and the film is the all-
too-common response to reports of violence against women: “Why didn’t she just leave?” (As a sobering reminder, recall how often that question was leveled at Janay Rice in the few weeks since the video surfaced of her then-fiancée, NFL running back Ray Rice, knocking her unconscious and dragging her out of an elevator.) Again and again throughout the film, Gruelle illustrates just how common this sort of victim-blaming can be—in the media, in society, and in the criminal justice system. In the film, through countless harrowing interviews with Walters and Gruelle, we learn just how unrealistic an option it is for many women to leave abusive domestic situations, further complicated Continued on p 10
A history of violence
abuSe prevention effortS in maine, itS campuSeS, and beyond _ by C ar o l I n E o ’Connor domestic violence occurs “when one person chooses to use violence or threats of violence against a partner to obtain power.” according to matthew perry of Greater portland’s family crisis Services, member agencies of the maine coalition to end domestic violence (mcedv) use this definition to meet the needs of victims of domestic abuse in maine. those affected by domestic violence are often described as “dv survivors;” perhaps because 11 of the 24 maine homicides recorded last year were domestic violence related.
f
help is out there The Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence offers numerous resources for abuse victims
on a typical day in 2012, maine’s dv resource centers served 463 victims, provided 222 victims with emergency shelter or transitional housing, and provided 241 adults and children with services including counseling, legal advocacy, and support groups. fcS’s three outreach offices fielded nearly 4,000 calls for assistance in 2013, and even the mcedv website anticipates the danger that prohibits dv victims from reaching out. the top of each page offers users a link— Safety alert! to exit Site clicK here—to provide victims with an out in case perpetrators are nearby.
and yet women, who comprise 85 percent of abuse cases in maine, are often more than dv survivors— many are mothers; they may be elderly; or perhaps they belong to lGbtQ or immigrant communities. these women are affected by the same patterns of abuse which define domestic violence, and yet specific populations face specific barriers which keep victims from getting help. victims of abuse within lGbtQ communities, for instance, risk being outed by a partner if they reach out, while women within immigrant communities are faced with the possibility of losing
their children or their green card. even the terms used to describe domestic violence may be ineffective in talking about abuse with maine’s elderly population—who are vulnerable to being abused by not only spouses or partners, but by adult children or caregivers. advocacy groups like mcedv have been developing response tactics to domestic violence since the federal family violence prevention Services act was passed in 1984. programs use devices like the “power and control Wheel” and the “equality Wheel” to offer victims and perpetrators the chance to identify acts of violence and oppression—victims can point to areas on the wheel that describe abuse they’ve heard and felt, and perpetrators can see how isolated acts of aggression are linked to greater themes of power and violence. the “wheels” have been translated into Spanish, Continued on p 10

redesigned for native american women, and distributed to training groups across the country to give survivors find a collective voice to speak about dv and press for legislative accountability—the latter of which helped to pass the violence against Women act in 1994. on a national level, legislative and grassroots attempts to empower communities have not only benefitted survivors. media coverage of these legislative changes has revealed the layers of oppression which underscore domestic violence, crime, and drug abuse, and yet it also threatens to mask elements of american culture which are couched in the language of racism, homophobia, classism, ableism, and sexism. for instance, news reports of the shooting death of mike brown have shed light on american racism, and yet women and children of ferguson, missouri, have yet to have found a voice on media outlets. . news coverage of the nfl’s response to ray rice’s aggravated assault charge has revealed the insidious kinship between american culture and patriarchy, and yet Janay rice has been re-victimized by media depictions of rice assaulting his then-fiancee and dragging her unconscious body out of an elevator. our collective cultural response to the rices will be crucial in shaping the ways people speak about oppression in 2014 and beyond. advocates, like matthew perry, understand that young people colleGe Women today are often not permitted to speak about healthy relationships, Will be the and colleges are less often safe victim of spaces where men can talk about Sexual aSthe differences between masculinity Sault durinG and misogyny than they are sites her academic of hostility towards women: 1 in 4 career college women will be the victim of sexual assault during her academic career; 75 percent of men involved in acquaintance rape were drinking or taking drugs before the rape: and rape on college campuses occur of men every 21 hours. and some of the involved in best universities in america are the acQuaintance biggest offenders when it comes rape Were to sexual assault statistics: harvard drinKinG or recorded the third-highest number taKinG druGS of forcible sex offenses on college before the campuses in 2013, and Stanford and rape emory tied for fifth. these statistics, and the lax consequences for schools in violation of title ix, suggest the challenges faced by today’s advocates and survivors. the university of Southern maine received nearly $400,000 through the federally-funded legal assistance for victims Grant program in 2011, and has since partnered with a rape occurS family crisis Services of cumberland on colleGe county to rewrite the definition of campuSeS domestic violence and to offer dating abuse programming to incoming freshman. the young adult abuse prevention project (yaapp) has increased dv awareness in every high school student in cumberland county, and other programs provide dv services to incarcerated women and increase communication between law enforcement and advocates. portland advocates have responded to an issue intimately tied to domestic violence: the Greater portland coalition against trafficking and exploitation was formed in 2011, the attorney General’s human trafficking Work Group helped make aggravated sex trafficking a crime in 2013, and preble Street resources center received a $400,000 grant from the department of Justice to house and rehabilitate victims of sex trafficking in maine. there is much work left to be done, but creating a space to speak about domestic violence, sex trafficking, and other “private” violence is the first step in curating a common language of solidarity amongst survivors and allies. ^

which last July’s murder-suicide in Saco, where 34-year old Joel Smith murdered his wife Heather and their three small children (the eldest, 12 years of age, from a previous relationship), registered on the national scale for those fighting domestic violence. Gruelle called the case “horrendous,” and notes that such situations aren’t as rare as people would like to believe. “I think what happened in (the Saco) case is emblematic of what happens in many DV cases: victims feel stigmatized and afraid to reach out. Or they don’t know who exactly to reach out to, or the ones they have reached out to in the past have disregarded their concerns, and it just boxes them in more.” While Deanna Walters and her estranged husband are a working class family, portions of the film attempt to illustrate how domestic violence transcends boundaries of race, class, and income—as recent making it puBliC Images of Private Violence’s Walters after her assault. high-profile incidents involving Rice, South African track star Oscar Pistorius, mixed martial artist Jon graphics that advocates might not Continued from p 8 “War Machine” Koppenhaver can otherwise reach. when children are involved.

f AMY & THE ENGINE, at Frontier, in Brunswick on Sep 20. thursday 18 BREAKING GROUND | Grime Studios (formerly Prime Artist Studios) will not go gentle into that dark night. Squeezed out by the development at Thompson’s Point, Grime leader Justin Curtsinger has been questing for a new space that’s both cheap, local and can avoid noise complaints (see “Finding the Practice” by Nick Schroeder in the June 13 issue). Grime has found a prospective new home on Presumpscot St, which comes with a $70,000 build out attached to it. Curtsinger is optimistic about reaching the goal, saying, “I know it can be done,” in a recent web interview. They’ve got loans and an Indiegogo site going to that end. Tonight, though, they’re raising cash the old school, rock ‘n’ roll way: SYLVIA, SUPERORDER, CAPTURE THE SUN and DOUR join forces at Geno’s, with the $8 going directly to the Grime fund. Portland hasn’t seen a panoply of metal like this in a while. Come rage, rage against the dying of the light. 9 pm; 625 Congress St. 207.221.2382. COLLEGE SCENE | Basslines’ online photo gallery makes us feel old, but it’s our fault for
getting that way. All the hope and ambition of youth, packed in below a wings bar and given over to the sensuous grind, makes us pause and contemplate just where our own formative years went. No highbrow concepts here. DJ TRILL1 drops the beat for our future thoughtleaders at the ever more popular College Night. Admission is only $5 if you’re pursuing higher education, and if you’re old enough to afford the $2 well drinks, you get in for free. Carpe noctem, ladies and bros. 23 Brown St, 207.482.0667.
friday 19 SADDLE EM UP | Wherefore
art thou TOUGHCATS? A band by any other name wouldn’t be so hard to pigeonhole. Energetically and unashamedly original, the Toughcats seem to pop out of folk and indie-rock conventions like a pig would pop out of a tuxedo, not because the pig (or the tuxedo) is bad, but simply because the tuxedo impedes the amazing pigness of the pig, y’know? No? Well, maybe you should come see for yourself why they’re one of Portland, Maine’s (and Columbia, Mis-
souri’s) continuing favorites. They play at Empire at 9 pm. $8. 575 Congress St 207.879.8988 PLOT TWISTERS | Okay, full disclaimer here: No one actually dies at LITERARY DEATH MATCH. Or, at least they haven’t died yet. (Possible foreshadowing? Untrustworthy narrator? How suspenseful!) Instead four local authors—Amy McDonald, Liz Peavey, Alexander Irvine, and Christopher Robley—read the most exciting selections of their work, are judged by a panel, and participate in a “vaguely literary competition” to determine who takes home the Literary Death Match crown. The absurdity of established writers competing against each other for “literary merit” and other intangibles makes this evening a raucous, witty throw-down and enjoyable for anyone who’s ever hung out at a local bookstore for more than an hour. Word nerds and the literary elite mingle and revel at SPACE Gallery, at 7:30 pm. $12 advance, $14 day of show. 538 Congress St. 207.828.5600. ANACORTES AREA | TKThe Oak and the Ax hosts indie lo-fi pioneer Phil Elvrum and his sometimes-solo act MOUNT EERIE. Elvrum is well known for being the driving force behind the intensely popular early
2000’s band, the Microphones. While his new material has certainly shifted, the same hushed, intimate qualities and lush, raw arrangements remain. We’ve listened to his newest release, Clear Moon, almost as much as
likely the day of peak attendance. The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association has been putting on the fair for longer than the posters on display at Whole Foods can remember, and now gets a little less than a Portland’s worth of people (around 60,000) visiting every year. Arrive early by carpool, or take a bike or a narrow-gauge train (!) into the fairgrounds in Unity and most likely come prepared for all weather and the occasional mosquito (read about some fairgoers
methods on page 4). The trek is worth all the effort, as visitors are rewarded with a full spectrum of local and organic foods, crafts, fiber arts, live animals, workshops, lectures, and demonstrations. Saturday highlights include the Harry S. Truman manure pitch, for distance (at 9:30 am) and one for accuracy (at 1:30 pm). While we fancy ourselves old hands at slinging muck, bull’s-eyeing 25 pounds of cow plops takes serious skill. It’s time you earned that Maine Agriculture specialty plate and got to know how the other half of the state gets things done. Friday through Sunday, from 9 am till 6 pm. Adults $15 at the gate, elders $10, children under 12 free. 294 Crosby Brook Road, Unity. DECALCOMANIACS | If you’re saving your Common Ground trip for another day and find yourself along the southern coast, artist LINDA MURRAY is hosting a demonstration on the surrealist panting technique of decalcomania at the Sharpe Gallery in Kennebunk. Murray has used the technique herself in creating some hauntingly organic work that are on display at the Sharpe currently. Her use of water media in a wet-in-wet format creates spaces that carry both a stoic immensity and a slightly-alien intimacy; near but distant at the same time. Murray will be at the gallery from 1 to 6 pm, stop in and see how her technique can be used to launch your own art. 21 Western Ave. Kennebunk. 207.967.6331.

f CARLA KAPLAN, at Discover Portsmouth Center, in Portsmouth on Sep 23. “I Got You” seems like your standard, clap-along-with-usnow, love song. It’s filled with references to “snow up to our necks” and other cute winter anecdotes any Maine-based song writer should have easy access to. However, in an unexpected bridge we hear snippets of news reporting sketching the very skeletal story of a couple buried in an avalanche, and suddenly our emotional perspective goes reeling about. The song then climbs back up to another happy (nihilistic? optimistic?) chorus before floating away carefree on Amy Allen’s masterfully crisp, Berklee melodies. What did we just hear? What are they getting at? Why are they so happy? Is life really that beautiful? Expect to find us demanding answers when they play the Frontier in Brunswick, at 8 pm tonight. $12 at the door. 14 Maine St, Brunswick. 207.725.5222.
dungsroman?) first of all, there are puppets. Secondly, while exploring topics of felt-based angst, the raunchy musical also sends up: porn, ingrained racism, homosexuality, Asiatic propensity for lallation, and the life-application of a B.A. in English. While ahead of it’s time when it came out in 2003, more than a decade of events later, songs like “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” and “If You Were Gay” might now seem to come from a simpler time. Either way the Lyric cast is sure to handle the material (and the puppets) well. Busted guts with a side of laugh-till-you-cry is on the luncheon menu this afternoon.

New Hampshire thread, the Seacoast African American Cultural Center and the RiverRun Bookstore bring author CARLA KAPLAN in to discuss her recent non-fiction book, Miss Anne in Harlem: the White Women of the Black Renaissance, a curious and critical look at the stigma surrounding the white women (many of them Jewish) who frequently crossed the racial divide to enjoy and even strive to become a part of the black communities of 1920’s New York. Kaplan paints a detailed cross-section of six women’s lives from this little known group (whose members were often collectively referred to as “Miss Anne”) that manages to be a fascinating and largely unbiased look at a world where male-privilege often dictated how much cultural interaction one could have. Discover Portsmouth Center, 10 Middle St, Portsmouth. 603.436.8420. ARM THYSELF | Like an orchid springing up from the side of a tree, some artists blossom seemingly from nowhere full of strange and unnatural colors and sounds. THE SUITCASE JUNKET hails from the musical legacy of the Black Keys, Junior Kimbrough, T Model Ford and other modern delta blues legends, but also seamlessly finds his own indie-Americana songwriting and melodies within that framework. The impressive thing is he does it all by himself, one-man-band style, and then throws in some Sygyt-style Tuvan throat singing on top of it all. Kudos to Blue for bringing him to Portland. 7 pm at 650A Congress St. 207.774.4111.

_BY BR ITTA K ONAU Susan Maasch Fine Art is showing solos of two widely different artists: abstract painter Jessica Gandolf and photographer Jack Montgomery. As presented in the gallery, both artists appear at crossroads right now. Each shows a few pieces that are more in line with previous work, but the majority of the works explores new directions. At the same time, both artists draw inspiration from art history. Gandolf, who ‘Lou Lou AT CALLiAn’ digital archival print, 2014, by comes from figuration Jack Montgomery. and magical realism, shows 14 recent oils tan after 9/11, Maine Holocaust survivors, on panel.

it’s gOOD tO be witch PURITANIsM AT sTAkE IN OGUNqUIT’s EasTWick _BY MEG A N G RUM B L IN G Trapped, suppressed, and unsatisfied with the small-mindedness of their small New England town, what are three divorcées of scandalous creative powers to do? Turn to the devil, of course. His name is Darryl, he relocates promptly from New York when called, and it’s all as easy as a few loose words over girls-night martinis, in The Witches of Eastwick. Originally a 1984 John Updike novel, then a 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, and now a musical comedy to boot, Witches is onstage in a luxurious production at the Ogunquit Playhouse, directed by Sean Kerrison, featuring Sally Struthers as Felicia, the shrill busybody who runs tiny, prudish Eastwick. The Ogunquit Playhouse’s characteristically lavish production design does a fine job of conjuring the Puritan roots of 1967 Eastwick, Rhode Island: sliding panels are fashioned as the clapboards and rooflines of old New England colonials, and their muted grey walls take on a range of diabolical hues as the magic happens within them. They slide open to reveal the silhouette of a classic harbor upstage, and, in somewhere in the middle, the private rooms behind the old Yankee boards. Our three women who yearn inside those walls are teacher and cellist Jane (Mamie Parris), gently stuttering reporter and poet Suki (Nancy Anderson), and bohemian sculptor Alex (Sara Gettelfinger). Unattached, artistic, and adulterously attractive to other women’s husbands, they don’t fit the stultifying expectations of Eastwick, but when Darryl buys the huge Lennox house, it proves perfect for a ménage à quatre. The women’s characters approach caricatures, in flavors of auburn, blonde, and raven, but these actresses give them a zinging rapport, technical excellence, and lots of humor. Jane does her spread-for-thecello schtick as classic comedy, Suki sings an impressive solo that accelerates from stuttering to a lightning patter, and sensual Alex vamps around her bosomy sculptures with tongue loosely in cheek. As for Darryl, James Barbour has the
f
difficult job of playing a character one can’t avoid comparing to Jack Nicholson. However, in contrast to Nicholson’s short, pudgy, balding, greasy Darryl, Barbour is actually tall, slim, full-haired, and—to all appearances—well washed. Still, suave his devil is not: he’s a lampoon of suavity, a buffoon of long-schlong jokes and louche self-regard, and Barbour lets us roll our eyes and like it. And as the show’s prig par excellence, Sally Struthers (of All in the Family fame) is super, game to give Felicia all her warts and a sourpuss propriety as she scowls about like a top-heavy little soldier of righteousness. She also dexterously maneuvers the slight-of-hand required to manifest the digestive unpleasantness of Felicia’s hexing. As for Felicia’s minions in town, Ogunquit’s excellent ensemble of suspicious housewives and clueless husband performs some dynamite, sharply blocked numbers that reveal the townspeople’s envious meanness over phone- and clotheslines; they even veer into the grotesque, as the wives start mimicking the witches. More fine supporting work comes from Jim Walton, as the henpecked husband of Felicia, and from the almost absurdly mellifluous Brittney Santoro as Jennifer, the sweet, strawberry-blonde-ponytailed girlfriend of Alex’s straight-laced son Michael (Joey Barriero, endearingly virginal). Finally, in a wink to the movie, Darryl’s hilarious major domo, Fidel (Jason Perez), is not an inscrutable giant but a laconic little person, who frequently slips off to satisfy a woman or feed at the buffet table. If the show’s writing isn’t always memorable, and if the ostensible feminism of Updike’s tale feels more than a little reductive, there are also life-altering similes to be pondered—sex with one townswoman is imagined as “like making love to excited sauerkraut”—and lots of silliness excellently performed. Finally, the show holds a timeless cautionary message about, if nothing else, gentrification. Listen up, all you lonely singles of Portland who live near soon-to-be boutique condos: when the devil relocates from New York, he’ll show up in luxury housing. ^

HIGH ATOP THE THRONE Hessian’s throwback fantasy-metal invokes the last 40 years of the form. One of the most interesting elements of Hessian, a metal band who’ve been playing in some shape or form close to five years, is their heaviness. By now, technological advancements have spurred the form beyond comprehension. Heavy groups can mechanically engineer a song such that its blastbeats outgallop the most militant limbs of its drumming corps. In the other direction, outfits like SUNN 0))) and Earth have demonstrated that the heaviest sounds available to man are those which barely move at all. Other groups still attempt to harness the dogs of metal with other means, like endurance, “brutal” themes and content, or mismanagement of the compression function. But Portland’s Hessian needs not these devices. Instead, to borrow a phrase from French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, Hessian “traverse the fantasy.” In strictly sonic terms, they’re not the heaviest band ever—contra the methods above, Hessian surround the concept of heaviness on an entirely different plane, sublimating reallife themes into full-on, dare-me-to-laugh fantasy metal, not at all unlike what started the genre decades ago. And they do it pretty brilliantly. Hessian’s party-metal vibe can’t obscure the band’s technical capacity, and their rhythmic dynamics don’t ever slow their incessant, quaking gallop. Opener “Eyebite” settles into something that wouldn’t sounds too out of place on Thin Lizzy’s Jailbreak. The candlelit balladeering of the first two minutes of “The Alchemist’s Blessing” spins effortlessly into twin shards of guitar lightning before its Sabbath-like paranoia threatens to devour itself. And the sectional riff from “Iron Baby”—during which cofrontperson Angus MacFarland sings “Iron Baby / you’re the heaviest I know”—that part’s almost comically loose and groovy. Almost none of this would work if it were clear where their tongues were, but Bachelor of Black Arts keeps them mercifully obscured. Is MacFarland’s cackling opening verse—“by fire, by sulphur, quicksilver, and
f
lead”—on co-bandleader Salli Wason’s romp “Old, Wild, & Free” for real? Yes, quite. As is the cheekily titled song itself, which lampoons a hoary rock ‘n’ roll trope while sneakily making off with its meaning. And without a deep familiarity of the absurdities behind “Cloven Lady”—sung as a duet between the titular subject and, of course, a sorcerer—you might not hear it as one of the more progressive love songs the genre can handle. Humor and occult lyrical fixations aside, most fans have found the band through their unironic capacity to rock the fuck out. And if Bachelor of Black Arts did not do that in spades, that degree would be like the rest of academia’s: virtually worthless. “Witch Road” and “Cloven Lady” are crowdpleasing hellrides; “Iron Baby” could be a boogiewoogie deep cut on any classic mix; and the six-minute “Homonculator” slays in effortless NWOBHM fashion, its po-faced lyrics seemingly detailing the accounts of a manchild in the promised land—“I am a lonely man without a kinsman or a friend”—before descending into ribald narrative exercises that may or may not prove the point (memorably: “Suspended in the Aqua Mortis / Nurtured by the cockatrice / who crows atop the old dung heap and hisses at my hand.”). Where today’s so-called serious metal involves levels of dedication rarely seen outside of army training facilities and rock-climbing gyms, Hessian have created a fantasy land, one where they eat, sleep, and raise families to the awesome power of the riff. Their particular style of reverence involves a surprising amount of real-world references to heavy music of the last 40-50 years, and unlike a lot of those who have been seduced by rock music, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be satisfied with merely a Bachelor’s. ^

They roll on riffs, bordering on prog at times, and with plenty of jazz influence. It’s easy to picture Spooner as band leader, making lots of eye contact, reading the crowd.
JASON’S CHEMICAL ROMANCE fROm UNDeRWaTeR DemON TO lab RaT
If the folks running Greenfest hoped to show off Maine’s potential for solar power, Saturday wasn’t the day. It was bitter and windy. Less than perfect for playing music outside. There was the Jason Spooner Band, tabbed to play last in front of a fraying crowd heading indoors to warm up. Bassist Adam Frederick stuck his hands in his pockets behind his instrument and hopped on the balls of his feet. Spooner wore a fleece vest and blew on his hands as he worked through soundcheck. New keyboardist Warren Mcpherson picked out a couple notes before shuddering into his heavy leather jacket with a big smile like he couldn’t quite believe they’d said yes to this. But when the time came, they fired into their set and did what pros do. That’s the big takeaway from the new chemical: These guys know what they’re doing. Even though there are actually quite a few overdubs and more music than four people could generally make all by themselves on most songs, the 14 songs still feel like seeing a gig down at DBA in New Orleans. Stretching often past four or five minutes, they often have a live-style warm-up followed by instrumental turns at the front, Spooner singing a verse and a chorus and then giving way to Mcpherson or simply firing into a solo himself on the electric guitar. There continues to be a lot of John Mayer to what he’s doing, but also the Neville Brothers and Medeski Martin & Wood, and

plenty of other bands who are primarily live. The foundation of the album is a jam, and they’re just having a good time on top of it. It’s no surprise then, by the time they come around, to find songs like “Weld” and “T’ump” that are fully instrumental, even on a singer/songwriter’s album. They roll on riffs, bordering on prog at times, and with plenty of jazz influence. It’s easy to picture Spooner as band leader, making lots of eye contact, reading the crowd. Spooner has come a long way since 2002’s Lost Houses, and a good distance even from 2010’s Sea Monster. There’s less of the earnest guy with an acoustic guitar in him, and more of the professional musician. It’s not clear he’s yet found the sound he’s looking for, though. The single, “Fireflies,” is rootsy like he’s often been, with the same basic harmonica riff from “Get Back Home” and even a late-song changeup where session pro Bucky Backster rails on the pedal steel. But the “Long Cold Grave” that precedes it is straight-up R&B, a loungey thing that eventually builds in playful low-end guitars and repeating chords for the organ to riff on top of. Spooner banters as much as sings: “You don’t know why / I know why / You should know why.” And the Motown backing at the finish recalls a line of three singers in strapless dresses. Filling out what sort of works as the album’s core is “Shrouded,” where Spooner’s voice seems most natural, a rolling lightrock tune that trades on finger-style guitar and glistening keyboard. Like “Seed in the
and gorgeous in the afternoon,” Spooner sings, “You rise in the evening with the silver moon,” and it’s fair to wonder: Is she a vampire? Whoops. Maybe too many episodes of Buffy lately. Really, though, the mind can wander here. It’s good for lawnmowing or woodstacking or, maybe later in the year, shoveling the driveway. Just like it’s a fit for drinking and carousing with friends and maybe shaking your ass a little bit later in the night. But you’ll probably be wearing collared shirts while you’re doing it. Professional. ^
Ground,” from Sea Monster, it’s got a warm shuffle to it, but this is more somber and less organic. And less contained. By the fifth minute, Spooner is cooing out “I know, I know, I know,” and the rising backing vocals clash in waves of reverb that wonk out the headphones. This is not a record that keeps to a tight script. It meanders, with plenty of excellent instrumental turns—the piano and bass work on “T’ump” might be worth the price of admission alone. Frederick is standing up and riffing hard, with the bass mic’d so that you can feel the room around you and see him grabbing at the strings in your head. “Spell” is the closing song you’re probably expecting, though—quiet and contemplative and putting the album to bed. “You’re silent

of jokesters and exceptional musicians equally well. all releases promised to be crafted and packaged by local artists and makers. there’s chatter about more down the pike, too, like releases from Jacob augustine, the milkman’s Union, and bad braids. on the topic of local music, we simply don’t know how to be more psyched. ask the crows if they’ve heard about a record-release show this week…or visit prettypurgatory.com yourself for details. F boston resident and maine songwriter favorite AUDREY RYAN has been sitting on more than just a few tunes lately—she’s about to have her first child any day now! to prepare, ryan’s released a small batch of five titled Let’s Go to the Vamp, which might understandably
be the last we hear from her for a little bit. and the thing is fab: From the banjo-plucks of the mesmerizing opener “oh, the ego,” it’s clear that ryan still knows how to channel her inspirations, her soaring minor-key vocals shimmering over a backdrop of accordion and vibraphone, sounding a little like big blood stepping out of the swamps for a stiff drink and a ride through the countryside. ryan’s fans should recognize these as recent on-stage fixations—live-looped song-building is her trademark—and these songs showcase that method brilliantly. Visit audreyryan.bandcamp. com for more info, and hear the last tracks of a gifted, hardworking songwriter before her life sees an inevitable transformation. ^

Tabitha SHELTER CLiENT
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 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.

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.”

“cool” cucumber recipe immigrant kitchens I met Ann Shen, a twenty-year-old marketing student from Guilin, China, at work. I was writing catalogues of CIEE’s international exchange programs, and she was taking phone calls from fellow students who were working summer jobs in the United States. When she discovered that I write this Immigrant Kitchens column, she said that she would love to teach me how make one of her favorite, easy, Chinese side dishes. We met on Sunday at her place on a quiet street in the East End, a house she shared with 10 other international students. The name of her favorite dish sounded to me like lemeh hong gua. She said the words in Chinese meant, “cool cucumber.” The dish was indeed easy. Basically you cut the cucumbers into wedgeshaped segments, stack them up like a neat woodpile on a serving dish, and then sprinkle a bunch of stuff on top of them: vinegar, chili, soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh scallions, and cilantro. Easy, except for one thing. Two of the ingredients that she used had come directly from China in her suitcase, and we didn’t know what they were in English. She poured two tablespoons of a black liquid from a large bottle with a bunch of Chinese on it. “Vinegar,” she

offered, her best translation. I tasted it— interesting, familiar, definitely vinegar, but not sweet like balsamic vinegar and not clean like white or light colored vinegars I knew. After a little research online, I discovered this to be Chinese black vinegar, usually made out of glutinous rice, and then aged, which gives it an earthy, smoky complexity. She picked up another mystery jar, the contents of which looked like maroon jelly studded with light seeds and some larger, light-colored chunks. “Chili sauce,” she said. Well good, I thought, that narrows my search down to a couple thousand food products. I tasted it, and it was unlike any chili sauce I knew. It was made up of crunchy, blackish-red solids and chili seeds, packed in red oil. It was spicy-hot, then oddly warm, tingly, and pleasantly numbing. She put four tablespoons of this on the cucumbers. Then she watched in amazement as I failed with chopsticks to get a slippery dressed cucumber to my mouth. After she gave me a fork, I experienced a fireworks show of contrasts: cool and hot, crunchy and slippery, aged and fresh.

movie reviewS in brief
more impressive performance here comes from Tom Hardy as his younger cousin, a guileless soul who tends bar and worries that they’ve gotten themselves in too deep. Belgian director Michaël R. Roskam, making his U.S. debut after the Oscar-nominated Bullhead (2011), reprises the earlier film’s seedy look and murky morality, though this time around he’s got a much
better screenplay, the first ever by much-adapted novelist Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, Shutter Island). Lehane’s climactic plot twist is all the more laudable because it springs directly from complexity of character; you realize the truth has been obscured not through a writer’s trickery but through your own simple reading of the action. With Noomi Rapace, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Ann Dowd.

Jane Fonda, Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, and Adam Driver star in
this big-screen sitcom about a dysfunctional family reuniting for a funeral. Screenwriter Jonathan Tropper (adapting his novel) defines every character with a single, overarching foible (Bateman is timid, Driver is irresponsible, etc). One by one, each of them acknowledges his or her problem, they talk it out, and by the end of the week everybody’s OK. The laughs are about as cheap as the sentimentality—I counted at least four gags involving a threeyear-old and his training toilet. Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) directed.

xW TUSK 102 minUteS | nickelodeon + railroad SQUare cinema Middle-aged fanboy Kevin Smith has decided that what the world needs now is a
comedy remake of The Human Centipede (2010), the grotesque midnight-movie favorite about a mad surgeon stitching people together into the title beast. In Smith’s version a mean-spirited LA podcaster (Justin Long), traveling to Manitoba in search of material, gets held captive by a grandiose lunatic (Michael Parks) who turns him into a walrus, while the victim’s girlfriend (Genesis Rodriguez) and sidekick (Haley Joel Osment) try to track him down. This is gruesome but never scary, snarky but never funny; it’s probably the worst thing to come out of Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) that he didn’t have the decency to flush down a toilet. Its only redeeming facet is a slumming cameo by Johnny Depp, barely recognizable under a wig and fake nose, as a French-Canadian homicide detective.

_by sy Mbo line Da i “ Moon’s’ just a word to swear by. “Mutton!”—Now there’s a thing you can lay the hands on, And set the tooth in! Listen, Columbine: I always lied about the moon and you. Food is my only lust.” — Pierrot, “Aria Da Capo” – Edna St. Vincent Millay. A lovely thought for harvest time, and this week’s waning moon brings activities or episodes to a close, including Summer (sob, sniff, sigh). This is the most difficult seasonal transition for many, although workaholics embrace it (so much easier to put nose to grindstone in the fall). More at “Sally Cragin Astrology” on Facebook and I’m reachable at sally@moonsigns.net.

Waning moon in cancer, moon void-of-course 2:38 pm until 11:10 pm when it moves into leo. look beneath the surface or focus on “process”—for example, we know the ingredients, but in what order should they be put into the bowl? love and affection are hugely important for cancer, Scorpio, pisces, leo, taurus, libra, Virgo, Gemini, and capricorn. however, aries, Sagittarius, and aquarius could have no energy for emotional complexities. 26

Waning moon in leo. a super time for socializing, particularly for Gemini, cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, Sagittarius, and aries who are eager for new companions with fresh perspectives. taurus, Scorpio, and aquarius—are you bumping heads with others? time to back off. this is a passionate time for all, and excellent for working with kids or enjoying entertainment (comedy vs. melodrama). 27

Waning moon in leo. From now through Wednesday, the theme is endings. if you think you’re hearing enthusiasm for a project or relationship, listen for wholeheartedness—it may not be there. Scorpio, aquarius, and taurus may force an issue to closure—they’re touchy, so give them space. Gemini, cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, Sagittarius, aries, and capricorn can get to the heart of a matter quickly. 28

Waning moon in leo, moon void-of-course 12:33 am until 11:54 am when it moves into Virgo. toot your own horn, particularly if others wouldn’t. the afternoon is best for tasks requiring meticulousness and precision (which pleases the anal-retentive folks). Some of you with “hooves” may find you’re a touch clumsy today (Sagittarius, capricorn, aries, and taurus), but it’s a day of truth-telling for cancer, leo, Virgo, Gemini, libra, aquarius, pisces, and Scorpio. . 29

Waning moon in Virgo. beware of pissiness versus pithiness. people may think they’re being helpful, but getting the “wrong end of the stick” in a verbal interaction is likely, particularly for Gemini, aquarius, aries, Sagittarius, and pisces who may over-share, or show their hand too soon. cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, Scorpio, taurus, and capricorn can bow out gracefully today—or have a very frank talk with a loved one. 30

dark of the moon in Virgo (moon void-of-course 8:15 am until 11:59 pm). the moon in Virgo heightens everyone’s ability to pick at trifles or get overly involved in minutia. For some, this is a useful time for seeing the fine print, or the details that would otherwise be invisible. at their best: Virgo, capricorn, taurus, libra, Scorpio, leo, cancer. at their beastliest: pisces, Sagittarius, aquarius, aries, and Gemini.. 32
Wednesday september 24
new moon in libra, sun in libra. here’s a fun astrological aside: Uranus (the planet of surprises, electricity, and mass movements) opposes sun, moon and mercury, so i’m suspecting that libra, cancer, aries, and capricorn will be in a rebellious mood today and tomorrow. enjoy, folks! as for taurus, Gemini, Virgo, leo, Sagittarius, aquarius, and Scorpio: don’t fight the zeitgeist if you don’t have to. 1

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.
