At thePhoenix.com F Pulitzer cartooning finalist Matt Bors has some thoughts about Obama’s claims he wants to close Guantanamo. And yes, the inmates’ hunger strike continues — as does military force-feeding of them.

15 percent for the 10 years beginning January 1, 2014; at least 25 percent for the following 10 years; and at least 35 percent beginning in 2034.

F An Act to Protect the Privacy of citizens from Do-mestic UnmanneD aerial vehicle Use (LD236; Democratic senator John Patrick of Rumford; divided report from Judi-ciary Committee) This, a/k/a the Drone Bill, would regulate unmanned aerial vehicles, including their acquisition and operation by law-enforcement agencies in collecting, disclos-ing, and receiving information and the retention of informa-tion collected. “For the permitted operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle, the bill requires the consent of the subject person, a warrant or court order, an emergency situation that threatens life or serious bodily injury or an emergency enforcement situation that threatens national security or evinces conspiratorial criminal conduct requiring immediate operation of the vehicle before a warrant can be obtained,” says the bill summary. Also requires law-enforcement agen-cies and the Attorney General to post relevant information on their publicly accessible websites.

F An Act to Promote the safe Use anD sale of firearms (LD1240; sponsored by Democratic representative Mark Dion of Portland; tabled at a May 2 work session) Sponsored by the former Cumberland County sheriff, this is the most comprehensive gun-control bill being considered by the leg-islature. It would prohibit people who have been admitted to psychiatric hospitals on an emergency basis from buying firearms; increase the minimum age to obtain a concealed handgun permit from 18 to 21; include private sellers (includ-ing those at gun shows) in the definition of “firearm dealer;” and require all firearm dealers to conduct background checks (except for sales between family members).

F An Act to Prohibit the sale of energy Drinks to mi-nors (LD753; sponsored by Democratic representative Kath-erine Cassidy of Lubec; divided report from Committee on Health and Human Services) No more Monsters for teens — this bill would prohibit the sale to minors of soft drinks that contain 80 or more milligrams of caffeine per 8 fluid ounces.

F An Act to create an animal abUser registry (LD1289; sponsored by Democratic representative Elizabeth Dickerson of Rockland) This bill would require a person convicted of animal cruelty under Maine’s criminal law or a comparable offense in another state to register annually as an animal abuser with the county sheriff for a period of 15 years; the registry would be publicly accessible.

F An Act to Prohibit sale or Possession of synthetic cannabinoiDs (LD661; sponsored by Democratic representa-tive Adam Goode of Bangor; Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety work session May 10) Everyone knows about Diane Russell’s bill (LD1229) that would regulate and tax marijuana. This one tackles “synthetic cannabinoids,” commonly known as “spice” or “K2,” listing them as a sched-ule Z drug (like marijuana).

F An Act regarDing informeD consent to an abortion (LD760; sponsored by Republican representative Eleanor Espling of New Gloucester; Judiciary Committee hearing May 16) This and two other bills constricting reproductive rights will be considered at a public hearing next week; while Maine law already requires that a woman seeking an abortion be told, in writing, specific information such as the number of weeks elapsed from the time of conception and the risks associated with the abortion, this bill specifies that the woman must also be told orally.

f Governor Paul LePage described his recent decision to shift the laptop

program from Macs to Windows machines as being driven by a desire to promote “col-lege and career readiness.” It’s a sketchy correlation to say the least — and Tuesday’s introductory webinar (mainly for school staff, but open to all) from Hewlett Packard did little to increase confidence.

The webinar started with a five-minute effort to ensure the screen-and-audio shar-ing technology was actually working, punctuated by uncertainty about which representatives of which companies would be making remarks, or had said they would be there to speak, but hadn’t arrived yet. Not an auspicious start.

Next came a very friendly five-minute pitch that could have been from 2002, when the Maine Learning Technology Initiative was just kicking off with Apple and Ma-cintosh laptops for middle-schoolers. Amy Dupuis, the HP representative, and HP “ed-ucation strategist” Elliott Levin explained why “one-to-one learning” was the “new”

f Over the past few weeks, hundreds of bills have been floating around the State House — so many, in fact,

that the Democratic leadership has waived the requirement to advertise public hearings (public notice will still occur online). Want to know what your elected officials are mull-ing over? Here is a subjective selection of bills that piqued our interest.

Visit mainelegislature.org for the most current updates.F An Act to Protect cellUlar telePhone Privacy

(LD1377; sponsored by Republican senator Robert Katz of Augusta; Judiciary Committee work session May 9) Prohibits government and law-enforcement officials from accessing text messages and cell phone call information without a war-rant, except “in cases in which there is an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury or a threat to national security.”

F An Act to Protect social meDia Privacy in School and the Workplace (LD1194; sponsored by Republican representa-tive Michael McClellan of Raymond; Judiciary Committee work session May 9) Prohibits public and private employers or education institutions from requiring or requesting that employees or students (current or prospective) provide user-names and passwords for personal social-media or email accounts.

F An Act to increase consUmPtion of maine fooDs in All State Institutions (LD1254; sponsored by Democratic rep-resentative Craig Hickman of Winthrop; divided report from Committee on State and Local Government) While current law does require state and school purchasers to buy meat, fish, some dairy products, and some types of fruits and veg-etables directly from Maine food producers, this bill estab-lishes a minimum percentage of Maine foodstuffs: at least

From Silly to Serious

Legislature wades through hundreds of proposals

direction for education, and how computers facilitate breaking away from the old class-room models.

The focus, repeated throughout the presentation, was on choice — how much flexibility the school districts, and even individual schools and classroom teachers, would have to customize their devices for maximum usability.

What we want from our school laptop program, though, is not the limitless range of choice HP kept touting, but a set of tools proven to work in education settings for stu-dents and teachers of varying capabilities. Such solutions aren’t going to come from HP and its partners, teachers and tech leaders listening in were told.

While it’s true, as Levin said, that “you shouldn’t be limited to accessing textbooks from a single source,” that was never true of the Mac-based program either.

What the Mac base did bring was a suite of hardware and software, like iPhoto and iMovie, that provided crucially important relative uniformity for teachers across the

state, facilitating collaboration between pro-fessionals and among students.

That sharing has helped make the laptop program what it is — not the computer-skills instruction program LePage seems to envi-sion, but a tool for education that supports thinking, acting, and learning at modern speeds.

Now, though, with everyone having to learn a new platform, and the very real pros-pect that no two platforms will be very much alike — even within school districts — the “college and career readiness” lesson will be painfully obvious:

Corporate America is filled with non-standardized, non-interconnected, con-fusing technology systems that have to be

learned from scratch at every new school or job. Technology, as used in government and the private sector, is as often as much of an obstacle as it is an enabler. (Real-life example from this week: JPMorgan Chase’s computer system can detect I’m not in California and decline the purchase attempts there of some-one who has stolen my credit card number, but can’t tell me what my new card number is for two days, and makes me wait another full day for online access to my account.)

We don’t want obstacles to learning — we want enhancements! And we don’t want students who’ve been taught to successfully fight with one specific program or operating system — we want graduates who can think broadly, widely, and creatively, and express those thoughts effectively.

All the technology-specific obstacles from 2002 had been cleared, through the power of collaboration and shared experience. LeP-age’s decision has put them all back in place, and expanded the possible range of barriers to actually using technology to learn.

politics + other Mistakes_BY AL DIAMON

_BY DAVID KISh

I don’t know where I stand f When it comes to sex, there’s

something ambivalent about Michael Michaud.

No, not that.I mean Michaud’s position on

abortion. Or rather his positions, since he has so many, he effectively has none at all.

During his long political career, Michaud, the Democratic congress-man from Maine’s 2nd District and likely candidate for governor in 2014, has somehow gotten away with completely obscuring his opinion on a woman’s right to choose.

It wasn’t always that way. There’s no question where Michaud stood when he was first elected to the Maine House of Representa-tives back in 1980, representing East Millinocket and vicinity. He was against abortion. He thought it should be illegal except in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. He voted for every bill restricting access to the procedure. When he moved up to the state Sen-ate in 1994, he regularly received glowing ratings for his consistency from conservative organizations like the Maine Right to Life Committee and the Christian Civic League of Maine.

It wasn’t until Michaud ran for the US House in 2002 that things got fuzzy. Faced with a stiff chal-lenge from a pro-choice Republican (yes, such creatures once walked the earth, along with other semi-mythical beasts like dinosaurs and professional athletes who didn’t take performance enhancing drugs), he started equivocating. He said he wouldn’t vote for a constitutional amendment banning the procedure. He made noises that could have been interpreted as opposing federal re-strictions (if you were a supporter of legal abortions) or supporting allow-ing states to regulate pregnancy any way they liked (if you were an oppo-

nent). He was just vague enough to get elected.

Now in his sixth term in Con-gress, Michaud has compiled a record NARAL Pro-Choice America termed “mixed choice.” For in-stance, he opposed a bill that would have stopped Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds for family planning, but supported a measure that would have made it difficult to obtain abortions under the Affordable Care Act.

In his 2012 re-election campaign, his chief of staff more or less accu-rately portrayed Michaud as neither pro-life nor pro-choice. In a state-ment to the MaineToday Media news-papers, Peter Chandler said his boss “has carefully weighed issues related to abortion and family planning.”

Which was a help to voters who favor candidates who resolutely refuse to carefully weigh the issues and instead decide what they’ll sup-port by analyzing random messages from outer space. The Florida con-gressional delegation, for instance.

But back to Michaud. Now that Democratic 1st District US Rep. Chellie Pingree has announced she won’t run for governor next year, it’s increasingly likely the nomination will be Michaud’s for the taking, thanks to a poll that shows that of all the prominent Dems who might get into a three-way gubernatorial race, he’d lose by the smallest mar-gin.

Trouble is, Michaud would face two candidates who aren’t the least bit equivocal on abortion. Republi-can Governor Paul LePage is pro-life. Independent Eliot Cutler, in one of his few solid stands, is pro-choice.

If, as seems likely, the US Su-preme Court should decide in the near future to overturn Roe v. Wade and rule that regulation of abor-tion is a matter for states to decide, the position of governor will be

crucial in determining the legality and availability of the procedure in Maine. With the Legislature of late swerving wildly from Republican to Democratic control, there’s no long-term assurance anti-abortion bills won’t pass, leaving only the chief executive’s veto as a defense of the rights of Maine women.

That should give a lot of pro-choice voters pause when they con-sider whether to support Michaud.

Another little problem for the noncommittal congressman: There’s no way a Democrat can win the governorship unless he or she wins big in the liberal 1st District. And nobody can win in the 1st District unless he or she is pro-choice.

Even in the somewhat more con-servative 2nd District, polls show libertarian-leaning voters favor legal abortion and oppose most limits on it as unnecessary government intru-sions. While it may not be as much of a wedge issue in northern Maine as it is down south, appearing to be wishy-washy on the subject won’t help any candidate anyplace.

Expect Cutler to make the most of the congressman’s refusal to take sides, in an attempt to define mush-mouthed Michaud as the second coming of 2010 Democratic guber-natorial nominee Elizabeth (Mush Mind) Mitchell. That, combined with Michaud’s generally undistin-guished record during his long ten-ure in Washington, should give his opponents all the material they’ll need to render him into the third consecutive Democratic candidate for statewide office to finish third in the general election.

To prevent that disaster, Michaud needs to come out of the closet.

On abortion, I mean. ^

Going Green_BY DeIrDre Fulton dfulton@phx.com

Let it Grow f Just a few weeks ago, phoenix food writer laura Mc-

candlish wrote about Maine’s edible seaweeds, such as wakame and nori (see “Maine Seaweeds Make Good eating,” april 26). She also mentioned rockweed, by far the dominant algae in Maine, found on the rocky ledges of intertidal zones up and down the coast. it’s not particularly edible (as Mccandlish noted, its primary food-related use is as an insulator during lobster- and clambakes), but this brownish-green, leggy seaweed does serve as a habitat for more than 150 species of crustaceans, groundfish, sea urchins, shorebirds, and waterfowl.

its long fronds, dotted with ovular air sacs, employ the energy of the sun to convert inorganic nutrients (such as phosphate or nitrate) into organic biomass, helping to main-tain water quality and serving as food for bacteria, small ma-rine invertebrates, and insects, which in turn feed birds, fish, and mammals. Juvenile lobsters and pollock (a species of groundfish heralded as bountiful) are known to forage and seek refuge in underwater forests of rockweed; during low tide, tangled masses of this coastal flora provide protection from the heat and sun for various larvae and crustaceans.

in addition to its ecological value, the abundant ma-rine resource is also worth money — millions of pounds of rockweed are harvested every year to be used primarily as a supplement in animal foods and agricultural products. the state department of Marine resources estimates that the $20 million industry supports about 225 harvesting and processing jobs.

But some conservationists and landowners believe rockweed is being unsustainably harvested, thereby putting an entire coastal ecosystem at risk. the dennysville-based rockweed coalition, founded in 2008, wishes to bring a “complete halt to all rockweed harvesting along the Maine coast;” a “rockweed registry” maintained by downeast coastal conservancy lists more than 550 property owners from 12 towns who have publicly stated that they do not al-low rockweed cutting on their property. (this registry, which is regularly distributed to commercial harvesters, has teeth because according to state law, the intertidal zone techni-cally belongs to landowners.)

“We’re looking at rockweed not as a product to be cut and processed but as a habitat,” says robin hadlock Seeley, co-director of the rockweed coalition and assistant director for academic programs at cornell University’s Shoals Marine laboratory in Maine. She notes there is limited information about the long-term sustainability and impact of rockweed harvesting, and that rockweed (unlike other seaweeds such as kelp) grows very slowly and is difficult to restore. She points to an already over-harvested marine resource to bol-ster her point. “if we’re trying to bring back groundfisheries, the last thing you want to do is take away [groundfish] habi-tat. rockweed is worth more in the water than in the net.”

rockweed cutters — who use a combination of hand-held and mechanical tools — must obtain a seaweed har-vesting license and are not permitted to cut fronds below 16 inches from their bases. in cobscook Bay, regulations are even stricter thanks to management plan that’s been in place since 2009 and includes a harvesting cap of 17 percent of the available rockweed.

the legislature’s marine resources committee recently voted down an attempt to repeal the cobscook manage-ment plan. But it preserved instructions requiring the de-partment of Marine resources to develop a statewide sea-weed management plan, to be completed in draft form by January 2014. the rockweed coalition and its allies, which include the Maine coast heritage trust and the nature con-servancy, hope to see stricter controls enacted as a result.

Meanwhile, harvesting entities continue to insist that the current approach works just fine. one of those is aca-dian Seaplants, of nova Scotia, which has developed special hand-cutting tools that “are operated from a boat, and have been designed to selectively thin the standing crop, ensuring resource sustainability and the integrity of the habitat and marine life,” according to the company’s pub-lication addressing frequently asked questions about rock-weed. these cutter-rakes “cannot hold and cut rockweed if it is below a certain length and biomass.” ^

EnErgizEd, synErgizEd EnvirosMaine’s environMental MoveMent reinvents itself for a new era of challenges

_By lance tapley

f Maine’s cherished environment may be threatened as never before by the

gargantuan forces of economic globaliza-tion. In reaction, the state’s environmental movement is coalescing into a force stronger than ever. There are new players in the game — including Occupy — augmenting the old guard.

Not surprising for a state that sticks up into Canada, several big threats have Cana-dian connections:

F a proposed east-west superhighway and utility corridor cutting across Maine’s middle from Quebec to New Brunswick;

F a proposal by a giant Canadian energy corporation, J.D. Irving, to dig a big open-pit mine for gold, silver, and copper at Bald Mountain in the heart of the fabled North Woods — allowed by a loosening of mining regulations rammed through the previous Legislature;

F the possibility that highly toxic Canadian tar-sands crude oil could be pumped through an existing pipeline from Montreal across numerous Maine (and New Hampshire, Ver-mont, and Quebec) towns to Portland Harbor to be loaded into tankers.

“Maine is in the way,” is how Jym St. Pierre, the longtime activist with the group Restore: The North Woods, describes the challenge to the state’s environment and en-vironmentalists.

“An unabashed corporate takeover” is the way Jim Freeman, veteran Earth Firster and an Occupy organizer, describes the danger.

Big corporations, “the true eco-terrorists,” says Jonathan Carter, former Green Party candidate for governor, have become “more ferocious.”

New eNergyIn response to the challenges, “there’s cer-tainly a burst of activity,” St. Pierre says. In particular, the environmental cause at the grass roots has been energized and syner-gized by the Occupy movement.

At recent, crowded legislative hearings on environmental bills — where the eco-friendly folk vastly outnumbered the corporate lob-byists — Occupy activists were numerous. In new groups that have sprung up to meet the specific new threats, including opponents to the East-West Highway and the tar-sands oil, Occupiers are well represented.

Occupy “woke up a lot of people. It was a shot in the arm” to various causes, Freeman says. “The Occupy movement normalized protest,” says Lew Kingsbury, an Occupy Augusta organizer now active with several of the causes.

There are signs, too, that the environ-mental movement has recently broadened Continued on p 10

far beyond the stereotypical coastal retired person, Portland yuppie, or back-to-the-land hippie.

Charles Fitzgerald, of Atkinson, a former Green Party congressional candidate, says, “One of the greatest pieces of good luck of my lifetime” — he’s 79 — is to participate in the East-West Highway opposition.

“It’s not just fringe people,” he says, but the “smart and focused” locals who have resided in his part of pastoral central Maine, the Piscataquis Valley, for many years — a “broad spectrum” including truck drivers, woodsmen, and farmers.

“Salt of the earth” folks, Freeman says, have joined three new grass-roots organiza-tions: the Stop the East-West Corridor coali-tion; 350 Maine, an anti-fossil-fuel group op-posed to the Portland-Montreal Pipe Line cor-poration’s use of tar-sands oil from Alberta; and Thanks But No Tank, the Searsport-based group that recently succeeded in blocking a 14-story-high liquid-propane tank from being constructed in that coastal community (the group is sticking around to deal with other possible industrial threats).

Peter Vigue, the Cianbro construction giant’s CEO and chief promoter of the East-West Highway, impoliticly calls the state’s central region the “empty middle.” The locals, however, have told him there’s some-body there. Testifying to the breadth of oppo-sition, the towns of Monson and Sangerville have passed moratoriums on development connected to the highway.

Likewise, Casco, Bethel, Raymond, and Waterford in southern and western Maine have opposed the pipeline’s transport of tar-sands oil (along with 39 towns in Vermont and others in New Hampshire and Quebec, according to Bob Klotz of 350 Maine). The 236-mile pipeline at one point goes alongside Sebago Lake, a recreational mecca and source of Portland’s drinking water. (The present flow of regular crude oil would have to be reversed. It now goes from South Portland, where tankers unload it, to a refinery in Montreal.)

Even Democratic Senator Troy Jackson, the assistant majority leader from far-north-ern Allagash, who in a recent legislative hearing opposed bills that would put up road-blocks to a Bald Mountain mine, admitted in an interview that he has constituents “on both sides of the issue” — despite the touted economic benefit to his poor Aroostook Coun-ty district. He also admitted he’s personally “not 100 percent for” the mine.

has promoted it as an “energy corridor.”“It’s legitimate to worry” about the hid-

den agenda, says the Natural Resources Council of Maine’s longtime chief lobbyist, Pete Didisheim. Vigue’s statements about what the corridor would carry have been vague and ever-changing.

A bAse of streNgthThe environmental movement in Maine “has been strong for a long time,” says Didisheim. The pre-eminent state environ-mental organization, the 54-year-old NRCM has 12,000 members, a $2-million annual

ThE issuEs

The national park contradiction F yes, Maine people want their environment preserved, as the polls have shown. that

point has been demonstrated in long-standing public approval of the idea proposed by restore: the north Woods for a 3.2-million-acre Maine Woods national park and preserve, which would be bigger than yellowstone and yosemite parks combined.

Jym St. pierre has a handout listing a dozen Maine opinion polls over the last dozen years showing firm support — with a majority even in the Second district, where park op-ponents have been most vocal.

But here’s the contradiction: strikingly, Maine’s political class, with the notable ex-ception of democratic 1st district representative chellie pingree, will not even support a federal study of the value of a park. the legislature two years ago swiftly and nearly unanimously passed a resolution opposing a study.

deferring to this lack of political will, the major environmental groups have not gotten enthusiastically behind the restore plan. a 3.2-million-acre park is “just not feasible,” the nrcM’s pete didisheim claims.

St. pierre’s explanation is that support for the park is “broad and soft,” while opposi-tion is “narrow and deep and loud and intimidating.” he lists the opponents: the politi-cally powerful forest industry, snowmobilers’ groups, the Sportsman’s alliance of Maine, and zealous property-rights advocates.

For a smaller park proposal, however, that situation appears to be changing. Both the nrcM and Maine audubon are expressing interest in philanthropist roxanne Quimby’s desire to give 100,000-plus acres to the federal government of land she has accumulated east of Baxter State park for a combined park and multi-use recreation area.

Based a consultant’s recent study laying out the economic impact of such a park, says didisheim, “we are enthusiastic about the potential benefits for the region and for Maine as a whole.” neither the nrcM nor audubon, however, has taken a formal position yet on the Quimby gift.

even though, presumably, millions of people nationally would enjoy a national park for non-economic reasons, the economic argument is, locally, the important one.

Continued from p 8 Remarkably, the biggest threats now exercising environmentalists are not immi-nent (see sidebar, “The Issues”). The quick and muscular reaction to them expresses the movement’s strength, but it also may be an expression in the Internet Age of the knowledge — or suspicions — on the part of environmentalists of the interconnected, long-range machinations of global capital.

The 350 Maine and anti-mining activists, for example, suspect connections between what they are opposing and the East-West Highway. They say it could be used as a con-duit for tar-sands oil as well as ore extracted at Bald Mountain. Cianbro’s Vigue, after all, Continued on p 12

F how are Maine’s major environmental issues playing out in the legislative session now in progress? as audubon’s Jennifer Gray puts it, there won’t be a “big leap forward this year.” lepage and his veto power

still occupy the governor’s office. But with supportive democratic leadership it’s possible that some reforms can be enacted and anti-environmental legislation beaten back.

and one canadian company, enbridge, is asking for permission to send the oil to Montreal.

ld 1362, sponsored by representative Ben chipman, the portland inde-pendent, would establish a two-year moratorium on tar-sands-oil use and re-quire the department of environmental protection to study the potential ef-fects on Maine. the nrcM supports the bill, but, since pipelines are regulated by the feds, it also wants the environment and natural resources committee to get involved in making sure a proper federal permitting process is followed.

Several bills before the energy and Utilities committee pro-mote the use of renewable energy, including ld 1085, an act to establish the renewable energy Feed-in tariff, which has

strong support from 350 Maine and the Sierra club. it would give individuals the right to “feed in” to the electricity grid energy produced by their solar panels or a windmill and get paid for it.

environment Maine, an up-and-coming activist group based in port-land — another example of the broadening of the state’s environmental movement — has raised the alarm about lds 1187 and 1262, which are being pushed by some businesses. they ask the public to finance a natural-gas pipeline from the shale formations of the Mid-atlantic states that produce gas using controversial “fracking” techniques.

last year the legislature allowed the norridge-wock private landfill to expand. this year hillary lister, the state’s tireless anti-waste warrior, is

pushing for ld 1363, which puts a one-year moratorium on landfill expan-sion. its prospects appear good, though she worries about what the sizable lobbying effort mounted by the waste industry may engender in other legislation.

activists are behind seven, largely overlap-ping anti-highway bills. although cianbro is still pushing for the highway, it did not show

up at the hearings. anti-highway troops showed up in droves, including representatives of businesses on existing east-West roads who fear a diversion of traffic onto a superhighway. the transportation committee will probably combine the bills into one. certain to be in it: rescinding the $300,000 for the study of the 220-mile, private toll road’s feasibility. not even the governor supports the study now.

ld 1302, sponsored by assistant democratic house floor leader Jeff Mccabe, is supported by the mainstream environmental organiza-tions. it would put many restrictions on mining — perhaps making

open-pit mining impossible. at the environment and natural resources commit-tee hearing on it and other mining bills, anti-mining speakers greatly outnum-bered those who said let the rule-making take its course on last year’s loosening of restrictions. irving has not announced definite plans to mine at Bald Mountain.

at the hearing, democratic representative ralph chapman of Brooksville told horror stories of past mining in his district that saw few jobs provided and huge, still-ongoing pollution costs. the nrcM’s pete didisheim thinks “some elements” of 1302 may pass. ld 1059, which would fully repeal last year’s law giving the green light to mining, is supported by grass-roots activists, but might have little chance to get by the governor’s veto.

the pipeline corporations trying to get per-mission to send tar-sands oil from alberta through pipelines west, south (see: Keystone

xl controversy), and east, have not announced whether they want to pump oil to portland through the existing Montreal-portland pipeline. But the portland pipeline company, controlled by exxonMobil, has expressed interest in that use,

budget, and 21 staffers. It not only lobbies on legislation: it monitors the all-important rules promulgated after legislation is passed, speaks out on federal issues, and engages in legal actions.

Over the past 15 years — typically, in co-alition with other groups — the NRCM has successfully pushed for conservation-land-acquisition bonds; the recycling of electronic waste; the dismantling of Kennebec and Penobscot River dams; and the creation of the Efficiency Maine trust, which financially assists businesses and residents to conserve energy. The NRCM recently helped restore the alewife run in the St. Croix River.

Despite national surveys showing a weak-ening of environmental concerns during the continuing economic doldrums, in Maine support for preserving the environment re-mains high — a “pretty stable sentiment,” Didisheim says. In a poll done for his group in 2011, over 90 percent of Mainers said envi-ronmental preservation should be a priority of lawmakers.

While in the past Maine’s established eco-organizations have found themselves at loggerheads with single-issue groups (in the 1980s it took years for the forces working to shut down the Maine Yankee nuclear power plant to bring the NRCM to an anti-nuclear position), the mainline outfits are now work-ing on many issues with the new grass roots.

Klotz, 350 Maine’s chief organizer, notes that the NRCM and the Sierra Club are coop-erating with his group on the pipeline issue and on other global-warming concerns. (The “350” comes from the group’s affiliation with 350.org, the international organization push-ing for policies to reduce global-warming atmospheric carbon dioxide to 350 parts per million.)

Both the NRCM and the Sierra Club are opposed to the East-West Highway and are working to retighten the mining law. This effectively puts them in bed with radical Oc-cupiers. Klotz, for example, received his po-litical baptism with Occupy. For him, in fact, 350 Maine is “an Occupy working group.”

The two wings of the movement comple-ment each other. The two biggest groups, the NRCM and the Maine Audubon Society, have money, constant legislative presence, politi-cal respect, and realism (speaking of state legislation, Didisheim observes, “We pursue what we believe can pass”). The grass-roots groups’ strengths include passion, intense focus, and the ability to bring in new blood.

Maine Audubon is seen among activists as more conservative than the NRCM. But it’s opposed to the East-West Highway, and it supports tightening the mining regulations — though for Audubon the highway issue is not a priority, says Jennifer Burns Gray, Audubon’s lobbyist. The group has not taken a position on the pipeline. Gray says it focuses on issues affecting wildlife and their habitat.

some divide persistsNot all divisions between the grass-roots activists and the environmental establish-ment have disappeared. The single-issue people tend to see the establishment groups as too conservative and too eager to compro-mise. For instance, while Stop the East-West Corridor is pushing for legislation to make it virtually impossible for state government to cooperate on highway projects with private corporations, the NRCM is only supporting bills to halt the present highway proposal.

It’s a class thing, Jim Freeman says: the proper folks in organizations like the NRCM, Maine Audubon, and the Sierra Club “live more in a bubble” and don’t mix with ordi-nary working people.

But the major division on issues among Maine environmental activists belies the class analysis — the development of windmills.

The flashing lights from “industrial

wind” can be seen from all the mountains now, laments Jonathan Carter, who heads up the Forest Ecology Network and lives in Lexington, near the Appalachian Trail. He and some other grass-roots environmentalist types criticize the NRCM and Audubon for their support of mountain wind projects.

Both NRCM’s Didisheim and Audubon’s Gray use the same phrase to express their groups’ support for windmills: they should be “appropriately sited.” Both organizations have successfully opposed some wind proj-ects, such as the turbines proposed for Red-ington Mountain, near Carrabassett Valley.

The division on wind power, however, most simply reflects the fact that, as an alter-native to fossil fuels that pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, wind generation is popular among many rank-and-file envi-ronmentalists and, polls show, the general public — but it is not popular among hikers on Maine’s lovely mountain ridges or the folks who live nearby.

Even Occupy organizer Lew Kingsbury, involved in the anti-East-West Highway and anti-mining campaigns, says of windmills, “They’re not nuclear power. They’re not go-ing to kill anybody.”

from defeNse to offeNseIn spite of the NRCM’s position on wind power, Carter says the group “tackles im-portant work,” citing its strong stand in the clash several years ago over Plum Creek’s plan for Moosehead Lake, the state’s largest inland water body.

The Land Use Regulation Commission’s 2009 go-ahead to Plum Creek to develop Moosehead was the NRCM’s biggest recent

disappointment, although the group was successful in helping to reduce the project’s size. The other significant recent loss was last year’s loosening of restrictions on open-pit mining, allowing Bald Mountain and pos-sibly other locations in Maine to be excavated on a large scale.

Because the first two years of Republican Governor Paul LePage’s term coincided with his party’s control of the Legislature, environ-mental groups had to go strong on defense. With Democratic support and the help of the few remaining Republican moderates, they beat back many of the most regressive bills, such as one gutting the returnable-bottle law. In the last session they lost also on sev-eral bills that weakened state agencies regu-lating the environment.

Now, however, the NRCM — emboldened by the seating of a Democratic Legislature and in cooperation with other established ad-vocacy groups and the enlivened grass roots — is trying to take the initiative on a variety of environmental issues.

This spring, the movement is seeing a re-birth or, at least, a re-blossoming. Expressing this development in the sober tones of Maine Audubon, Gray says, “The voice of the envi-ronmental community has gotten stronger and more effective.”

In the end, the movement’s juices are flowing because the threats to Maine and the Earth are, for many people, enormous and becoming greater. The global Big Money be-hind these threats can sometimes seem like a Goliath. But as Melanie Lanctot, represent-ing a coalition of “green churches” at a recent hearing on energy legislation, observed: “Da-vid won.” ^

Finding an economic argument F a big contribution of the new people in the environment move-

ment is their talk about the need for economic alternatives to the big threats. in the history of Maine environmentalism, this is an uncom-mon conversation — as a rule, the fight has been reactive.

the discussion has arisen because almost all development plans rely on a single argument: jobs — a forceful one in a poor state.

to be sure, environmentalists have long spoken about how Maine’s tourism industry will be protected by preservation of the environment — an argument freshly made by thanks But no tank. and they propose economic alternatives such as less-environmentally-damaging energy sources —decentralized solar, wind, tidal, and small hydro —as a counter to nuclear, coal, oil, and giant dams.

those suggestions, however, are neither comprehensive responses to Maine’s general lack of good jobs nor specific alternatives to many job-promising industrial proposals.

But now chris Buchanan, the statewide coordinator of Stop the east-West corridor, is promoting local cooperatives, putting “workers and the environment first rather than the bottom line.” She cites historical mod-els — Franklin d. roosevelt’s rural electrical cooperatives created in the Great depression — as well as current ones — the ubiquitous credit unions; Fedco, the Maine garden-supply co-op; and, in Spain, the Mondragon cor-poration, a co-op federation that has been a mainstay, she says, of that country’s economy throughout its current crisis.

recently, at an anti-east-West-corridor meeting that saw 60 people attend in the tiny village of parkman, in piscataquis county, the coopera-tives idea was a central topic and, she and others say, was well received. this type of business “does well because workers are happy and moti-vated,” Buchanan says. Usually, workers own the cooperatives.

the economic-alternatives conversation is spreading. charles Fitzger-ald, a successful businessman, talks about local, “agrarian” economic de-velopment. he mentions small farmers and a cheese-maker in his area.

Still, there’s no real economic plan articulated by the anti-highway folk — or by others in the grass roots. “nothing concrete yet,” Jim Freeman says. Buchanan admits the cooperative idea requires a lot of public education.

especially, there’s no alternative to corporate plans for Maine’s vast forest, its largest resource, which figures in many environmental battles and is owned by large, distant corporations — increasingly, by Wall Street investment firms with a hunger for immediate profits.

the last time Maine environmentalists took a big step toward an

economic alternative for the forest was the Ban clearcutting citizen-initiated referendum campaign of the 1990s, which Jonathan carter directed. if industrial clearcutting were banned, labor-intensive forestry would have to be practiced.

although the ban was highly popular at the start of the battle, it was beaten down by millions of dollars of fear-inducing advertising by the forest industry (about, of course, jobs). Most Maine politicians, demo-crats as well as republicans — and even the nrcM and Maine audubon — didn’t support the ban (though the Sierra club did). (disclosure: the author was involved in the Ban clearcutting campaign.)

the clearcutting battle demonstrated how, when public fears are raised about jobs — or when more jobs are promised — democratic politi-cians are not certain votes for the environment.

there were some democratic votes last year for relaxing the mining law and for the public funding, to the tune of $300,000, of a Maine de-partment of transportation study of the east-West highway’s feasibil-ity, even though cianbro’s Vigue had alleged the highway-corridor was to be created only with private funds.

Until there are well-thought-out and clearly articulated alternative economic plans for Maine’s future, however — and perhaps some ap-pealing politicians enunciating them—the environmental movement will always be, fundamentally, playing defense.

a round-up of notable happenings

in portland and beyond _COmpiled by NiChOlas sChrOeder

thursday 9WORK IT OUT | While a recent MPBN feature on Sheryl Sand-berg’s Lean In helped to frame the Facebook exec’s brand of femi-nism in corporate settings, the discourse the book has sparked around the issue has been at least as interesting. Lean In calls for flex time, equitable pay, and

more women in leadership posi-tions — all worthwhile causes — but her vision has been widely criticized for a rhetoric that ap-plies to largely the most well-off women, and even to them, in the words of Forbes’s Deanna Zandt, the message seems to be “buck up . . . it’s a tough world,” a sentiment that hardly addresses the matter of institutionalized sexism. Still, it’s almost certainly a step in the right direction,

and though it might be too easy to anoint Sandberg’s book as the era’s feminist clarion call, its buzz has certainly pushed forward the many voices on the issue. On a regional level, one of them is Silvia Dominguez, a writer and professor of sociol-ogy at Northeastern Univer-sity whose work on women’s welfare, race relations, and social networks (in real life, that is) in greater Boston has earned

est, most outrageous monthly dance night in the land. Hosted per usual by DJs Che RoS and BaRy JuiCy and backed tonight by DJ mom, also featuring dance by the 90 minute BlonDe and KinKy SlippeRS. 9 pm, $5 in the back room at 3 Spring St. 207.828.0822.STRETCHING OUT | One could see the Lucid, Dominic Lavoie’s jam/rock/soul band the last ten years, get progressively weirder with every release, so it shouldn’t have come as a shock to see that trio expand into the woozily experimental psych-pop septet ShaShaSha. They play cuts from their self-titled debut record from last fall at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, with olD Soul, the expanded indie-folk unit of songwriter Mike O’Hehir, who put out one of the better lo-cal releases of the genre last year. 7:30 pm, $12 at 76 Congress St., 207.775.5568.

saturday 11PICK & CHOOSE | First order of business: if you’re a Bela FleCK fanatic, see if you can’t wrangle some tickets out of whatever Bowdoin College comptroller’s

hiding them. It’s sold out of pre-sales but there will apparently be some available at the door. The famous banjoist plays with the maRCuS RoBeRtS tRio in the college’s Pickard Theater at 7:30 pm. $25, 207.725.3433.LOSING TRADITION | Ever been to the Portland Club? For much of the city, tonight might be the best shot. The State Street building was erected in 1805 as a men’s club and Republican Party meeting center, and while it’s retained neither of those affiliations, it still functions as a relatively exclusive location for cultural events, partly because it collects from its members an annual fee. Thing most arts producers don’t know, however, is how modest that fee seems when compared to other venues. The building has its noise limits, but that shouldn’t stop tonight’s “Spring Bash,” a fundraiser, barbecue, and beer-drinkers’ fete which features the honky-tonk rockabilly stylings of pete Witham anD the CozmiK zom-BieS. 6:30 pm, $25 at 156 State St., 207.775.2411.THE PANTRY | At Mayo Street: a noble effort and some cutting edge rock shtuff. For ten dollars or cans of food (paying with both currencies is ok), see the dreamy folk singer liSa/liza,

James’s book are certainly ripe for the plucking, all of which serve to further advance the general good of making people feel more comfortable about sex and how to talk about it. Spank!

friday 10TOUGH TO SWALLOW | Without doubt, the opening of the new Freeport Theater of Awesome is the most incred-ible thing to happen to that city since Linda Bean compared Obama to Hitler. Zing! The stage was revamped by the Maine-raised jugglers Matt and Jason Tardy over the winter, and has an impressively dense schedule of weird theater, variety shows, juggling acts, and more through-out the summer. This weekend they close a two-week run for mentalist and comedian RoDeR-iCK RuSSell, allegedly one of only 50 full-time professional sword swallowers in the world. 7:30 pm Friday and Saturday; tickets are $18 and $12 for youth at 5 Depot St. in Freeport. 207.518.8839.TOWARD PEACE | Though it deals with a separate region, it might be difficult not to view the timely lecture at Bowdoin today, titled “eFFoRtS FoR peaCe in the miDDle eaSt: a paleStin-ian peRSpeCtive,” in the wake of Israel’s massive bombing of Syria on Sunday, which, it should be noted, went without US condemnation. The lecture is led by former PLO militant turned peace activist Nizar Far-sakh at 2:30 pm in the college’s Visual Arts Center in Brunswick. 207.725.3000.LOVE & DARKNESS | You can practice the fine art of getting down at Styxx any night of the week, but tonight is “Lovesick,” which aspires to be the queer-

to advance select artists to stardom in marketing and financial terms seems positively frightening. At the same time, it has become more and more difficult for many artists to find representation in this cut-throat scene that makes it difficult for dealers to take risks or stick with an artist through a difficult period of transition.

In response, alternative models for showing and selling art have been crop-ping up. Damien Hirst certainly cannot complain about not getting enough at-tention and was probably motivated by

financial considerations, but his move to cut out the middleman and go directly to the second-ary market and have an auction house sell his newest work to the high-est bidder falls within this category. In related fashion artists have opened up their studios for direct sales without representation. So-called pop-up shows appear in unusual spaces, pretty much unannounced, for just a few days. Virtual online galleries, exhibi-tion spaces, and even auction houses like Pad-dle8 avoid the costs as-sociated with brick-and-mortar establishments. Additionally, concept and curation is being re-infused into several art fairs, including New York’s SPRING/BREAK Art Show.

Much of this seems quite removed from the art world in Maine, and some people may say, luckily so. But it offers some context for what is happening at Portland’s Aucocisco Galleries right now. Owner and director Andres Verzosa is show-ing 13 three-day two-per-son shows this season. Verzosa is perfectly aware of the disappearance of hierarchy and authority that I would maintain is not only taking place in the art world, but has already happened in art criticism and publishing. Digital technology and the Internet have spurred an immense growth

f The global art world has been chang-ing dramatically in the recent past

and is evolving still. Into what nobody really knows at this point, but plenty of promising experimentation is happening.

To begin, the membrane between for profit and non-profit has become increasingly permeable. Since Andy Warhol’s embrace of art as business and business as art in the 1960s, both have become closely intertwined, not to every-body’s liking. That an art dealer, Jeffrey Deitch, would become the director of a major museum (MOCA in Los Angeles) would have been unthinkable not that long ago, and his appointment and direction has remained controversial. Art museums used to be taste-makers, gatekeepers of critical recognition, and upholders of the artistic canon, positions that have become conflict-ridden over the past decades. One significant goal many museums nowadays aspire to is that of being more inclusive in programming, staff appointments, and visitorship. Much of that is aimed at increasing at-tendance because it translate into rel-evance when applying for grants and ask-ing for corporate sponsorship, as well as an increase in direct revenue (never mind that admission fees have been steadily climbing, effectively countering claims of democratization).

With corporate sponsorship declin-ing, many museums are no longer able to organize hugely expensive blockbuster shows with mass appeal. Instead, many art museums now pad their exhibition schedules with permanent-collection shows, which can be a very rewarding and educative experience if done right, with the critical distance becoming to a serious curatorial endeavor. Another overt ploy to cater to a large audience is to “crowd-curate” shows as the Brooklyn Museum has done occasionally, which appears questionable if the goal is to broaden our horizons and not merely re-inforce what we already know.

A few commercial galleries and auc-tion houses, on the other hand, have put on museum-quality shows that often include loans from public collections to build provenance for the work that is for sale. The commercial art market is still red-hot, even if the economy in general is slow to recover, with galleries opening and closing at a rapid pace, and auction houses continuing to make good profits. The insatiable appetite for the new in con-temporary art is feeding a mushrooming number of art fairs throughout the world, fueled by many of the same handful of mega-galleries like Gagosian, which have opened branches in every major city of the world it seems. These galleries’ power

of creative endeavors. However, for Ver-zosa there has to be more than an instant hit in order to be successful. “These kinds of projects need a prolonged infusion of energy, otherwise they will not last and will not have much impact on a com-munity, virtual or real,” he said during a recent visit. While Verzosa maintains that his baker’s dozen is not an attempt to re-invent or critique the gallery system, he is “sick of gatekeepers” and what he sees as mere busy energy around art institutions, even non-profits. His motif, however, is much more personal than that.

These 26 artists have long been parts of his life, in some instances going back de-cades or even a previous generation. Their statements for the shows express again and again appreciation of Verzosa’s sup-port, encouragement, and enterprising energy. By organizing “Double Dozen,” Verzosa “wanted to give something back” not just because these are his friends but because he believes in the artistic merit of their work. And in many ways this series represents an homage to his hometown Portland and its vibrant arts community whose growth he has witnessed and fos-tered in so many ways. Verzosa will actu-ally get to experience the other side of the gallery structure when his own work will be on view at Gorham’s Isaac Dyer Galler-ies (June 9-22).

When “Double Dozen” is over, Verzosa will not go back to the usual. Instead, he “will try to organize the shows smarter and more efficiently.” Mean-ing, artists on his roster will no longer be guaranteed shows every other year, and he plans to support especially those artists who have shown great loyalty to his gallery. It sounds as if he’s tightening the reins and re-evaluating whether it is worth his time and effort to work with particular artists.

If this suggests a mid-life crisis, it def-initely appears to be a reconsideration of goals and values. Several recent personal losses have made Verzosa more aware of the fragility of life, his own included. “But most importantly, this is about art, life, and relationships,” he explains. And in this sense Verzosa’s re-evaluated gallery schedule and artists’ roster offer another model for consideration. Even if it may sometimes be easy to forget this simple fact in the middle of a high-stakes art world, what is at its center is not money alone but personal relationships and the artists themselves. Their creativity fuels our passion for art, for wanting to live with it. ^

INQUIRING MINDS What did the Danish prince learn in college, anyway?

f Much has been made of Prince Hamlet’s exhausting philosophical

indecision. To be or not? To kill or not? He has a hell of a time figuring it out, when he should be happily ensconced in col-lege life back in Wittenberg. Many of us have studied the Hamlet’s inner turmoil in his rotten home state. But did you ever wonder what the guy was like in college? Playwright David Davalos proposes that Hamlet (Rob McFayden) is trying to decide whether to major in theology or philoso-phy, and that he is studying with no less than Martin Luther (Hall Hunsinger) and the fictional John Faustus (Michael Ham-mond). All three men are on the brink of the upheavals that will make them famous — Luther’s denouncement of the Catholic Church in his 95 Theses, Faustus’s sale of his soul to the devil for the sake of knowledge and pleasure, and Hamlet’s notorious inde-cision — in Wittenberg, a witty and fanciful philosophical romp. It receives a rich, em-pathetic, and very funny production under the direction of Ron Botting and Merry Conway, at Portland Stage Company.

It’s late October 1517, and Hamlet is en-ergized by the life of the mind and this hip, intellectual, beer-loving college town. He hangs out with his two favorite professors, listening them espouse very different views of life, death, science, and God. Luther lives with monastic forbearance, self-flagellates, and is devoted to the principles of Christian-ity. Bon vivant Faustus drinks, smokes, and fornicates, plays the guitar during open-mic night at the Bunghole, and considers the Bible “a great novel” and the devil “a state of mind.” Hunsiger’s sensitive Luther is composed and cautious, though he’s also given to bursts of spiritual love, and can easily share a laugh at his own expense or Faustus’s. Faustus, in Hammond’s marvel-ous hands, is Dionysian and impulsive, a dynamo who would have been at home on a 1960s campus.

Their relationship is the heart and soul of the play. Luther’s realm is the altar, while

Hamlet’s salad days

ThoughTul laughs in Wittenberg

Faustus’s is a study lined with books, vials, and curiosities (fine set design by Anita Stew-art), but they meet in the pub. They’re close friends, despite their oppositions; each has a strong respect for the other’s intellect, they debate with spirit, and to watch the rapport drawn by Hunsinger and Hammond, both excellent, is an utter pleasure. They chide, tease, console, and rage at each other — over God, heliocentrism, and Faustus’s all-en-compassing love for a “fallen woman” (Caley Milliken, dynamically) — with the candor and the sheer enjoyment of true intimates.

Hamlet spends much of his time absorb-ing his professors’ wisdom, along the way picking up plenty of one-liners that he’ll soon be pronouncing back in Denmark (a running joke). McFayden makes the prince an amiable, eager, energetic acolyte with on-ly a touch of angst — just enough to suggest the despair that will later engulf him. Mc-Fayden does well relating Hamlet’s ominous, father-centered dreams (which are analyzed by Faustus in proto-talk therapy), and he has a fantastic scene of playing tennis against an angry Frenchman — a witty foreshadowing of his fateful swordfight with Laertes.

Davalos’s script, which proceeds from such a whimsical conceit, likewise plays it out with lots of imaginative disregard for historical purity. Anachronistic allusions abound, from Faustus’s credo “Turn in, turn down, turn off” to a kind of Elizabethan proto-punk band’s act in the Bunghole. Wit-tenberg impressively manages to incorporate the history of Luther’s Theses and other philo-sophical revolutions without being bookish about it. Both script and acting make the philosophies feel, as they should, like the fervid lifeblood of Luther and Faustus. In fact, they are both so passionate, so convinc-ing, and so entertaining, it’s easy to see why Hamlet couldn’t decide. ^

sphere at Funtown, vague ’90s nostalgia, Muppet Babies, and lying down sky-high in the center of a roller-skating rink. it’s a trip! Four tracks, 30-plus minutes of utterly unabashed prog-metal/witch-house theatrics. perhaps M83 is the closest main-stream touchstone here, but these two dudes are so relentlessly epic it would probably make that pretty boy blush. on the other hand, one has to be careful with this stuff. applied to most public, everyday circumstances it could really do a number on your irony meter. Might be best to see them live while everyone else has an equal stake. no questioning their commitment, though; visit su-perorder.bandcamp.com.F The MilkMan’s Union are in an interesting existential position. Seemingly on the brink of

extinction throughout the winter, they emerged to play the biggest shows of their life a couple weekends ago, opening for Brown Bird and the dirty projectors and releasing the six-song ep The Golden Room, which is a cerebral and sullen spar-kler of a album. What might come next is hard to gauge. Jeff Beam is out and working on his own stuff, henry Jamison’s living in Vermont and gig-ging solo, and peter Mclaughlin’s here, working sound at multiple music venues. Whatever will be, will be.F it’s been four years since isobell last record-ed a note, but hannah tarkinson’s moody rock band plan to drop Sea Spells, a nine-song smoker, on June 1, when the five-piece play Space with olas and the reverie Machine.

Several strings attached

f Look, just because they’re a string-band doesn’t mean they sound like

Mumford and Sons. Or the Lumineers. And certainly not Of Monsters and Men. Now that everyone is getting a stringband swerve on, you might as well pay atten-tion to the subtleties of the genre.

Tricky Britches? They lean pretty heav-ily toward the old-timey end of the spec-trum, with a deep and abiding respect for the body of American stringband work, manifesting itself in original songs that are instantly familiar. On their third album, Good Company, they mostly move forward by virtue of simply being better players. This is a band still on the rise. As they write more songs, play more gigs, build more rapport, they establish just where their material uniquely sits on the spectrum.

It’s hard not to hear Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Hard to Love” in the album’s opening “Leave My Troubles Behind,” fronted by often-bassist Jed Bresette. It has a drive to it, melodies that jump into the chorus, and a wishcasting bent: “Put a bullet in my chest.” But that’s backed by Ryan “Bear” Wilkinson’s “Long Day,” which is as much Dick Curless as any-thing else, with shades of a young Elvis. A classic trucking song, it’s probably the closest thing we’ve had to Diesel Doug and the Long Haul Truckers since they called it a day.

Wilkinson isn’t Curless, of course. That guy’s voice was made of velvet.

Really, Tricky Britches don’t have a transcendent lead vocalist. They make up

A part, but then opens up into something far more pop in the B.

There aren’t any curveballs in their “Sally Ann/Rye Straw” traditional med-ley to close the album, though. This is old-school, like Clayton McMichen on the fiddle in the 1920s. It might get you think-ing about the medley with “Sail Away Ladies” at its heart that the Mammals fea-tured late on their excellent Evolver, too. At 3:52 and the kind of pace Tricky Britches drive it, you’re damn near exhausted by its finish. (If you like what they’re up to here, you might want to check out Mark O’Connor’s “New Nashville Cats” while you’re at it.)

Similarly, Besette isn’t far from Merle Travis in his “Fish in the Sea,” which is a mash-up of “Nine Pound Hammer” and “I’m Just a Used-to-Be to You,” the latter of which can be found with Maine’s own Roland White on the front at the Station Inn in Nashville on YouTube. “I’m always in the best company,” Besette sings, and, considering the varied pillars of stringband music these guys call to mind, they’ll get no arguments from me. ^

for it, though, with bench depth. Each of the four band members takes at least one lead turn; the variety and album organiza-tion are particular strengths here.

Fiddler Tyler Lienhardt’s best effort is “Creepin’ Up on Me,” where he really finds his wheelhouse. It’s a Django-style piece, at times like you’d hear behind a Scooby Doo bit at a haunted house in the Bayou, with shades of the Hackensaw Boys’ “Oh, Girl.” The bass is percussive, with Besette taking a page out of Kris Day’s book, and Lienhardt delivers the perfect amount of mania: “Yes, I was on the right track/Oh, but now I derailed/There’s no going back.”

Mandolinist Seth Doyle adopts a twang for the Dixified “Brackett St.,” and there’s more Django yet, this time in the style of the Hot Club of Cowtown, especially when Lienhardt gets ripping, and Hot Club’s Elana James can really rip. The New Orleans feel they pull off is testament to Lienhardt’s increasingly adept feel with his bowing. His “Finest Kind” is a playful waltz, too, like the backing to a Lawrence of Arabia on Broadway. It’s also sort of barber-shop, though.

Like “Black & White,” not all the songs are predictable. The minor backstep they pull off in the chorus here gives a sour undertone to a devotional that might raise your eyebrows anyway. Sure, the “what I wouldn’t give to be that dress” part seems like high praise, but aren’t those black-and-white stripes the sort of thing a skunk would appreciate? “Monadnock” is an ultra-traditional instrumental in the

PETER WELLER! Hey, gang! Put away your marbles and jacks and put that game of hopscotch on hold, because it’s time to learn a little bit about that jim dandy movie feller all the teens are raving about: Peter Weller! So grab a lemon phosphate and head on down to the talkie shop to feast your peepers on “Naked Lunch”, out this week on a Ray as Blu as the eyes of your best gal! His typewriter’s a moonman! I really have no idea why I’m speaking like this!

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension – Peter Weller is a hard personality to pin down. He really doesn’t give you a lot. It’s not even that he’s coolly disaffected, I don’t think. He’s just not going to give the situation any more energy than it absolutely deserves, and generally just a fraction less than needed. That fraction has served him well. He exists in that one molecule of time where blandness coheres with brilliance, creating an off-putting heroism that is difficult to look away from. That started here, with “Buckaroo”. If you profess to love the 80’s, yet haven’t watched this movie yet, I submit that you have yet to truly experience them.

Robocop – Also, he’s Robocop! So bow down! Bow down at once! All right, I know, obviously, that Robocop is awesome, and we all love it, but we focus too much on the very clear awesomeness of the movie itself, and that kinda takes away from Weller’s impressive performance here. Yes, it’s a bit of a cartoon, and yes it’s a dark comedy, but Weller really becomes a half-man/half-robot, with all of the complex emotional conflict that requires. It’s a role that required that aforementioned fraction, and I can’t think of anyone else who could have pulled it off.

Screamers – And sometimes he makes movies about underground knife-wielding robots that kill miners onother planets. But hey gang, that’s aces too!

Trouble brews in the hallowed halls of Wittenberg University as professors Martin Luther and Doctor Faustus duel for the allegiance of their pupil – Prince Hamlet. From tennis and beer to soliloquies over skulls, Davalos’

imaginative comedy of 16th century college life mixes slapstick and wordplay with a philosophical exploration of reason versus faith, played out

in a zany spin on classic characters – real and imaginary!

rich flavor, and just-right tender, fatty moistness. The pulled pork had the right texture, but lacked the same depth of pork flavor, and here we used some of the sauce to good effect. The best of these was a vinegary-peppery version with a black stripe on the red bottle. The beef brisket had a deep rich flavor and was expertly cooked just past any hint of stringiness. The house sausage was more sweet than spicy, with a pleasant smokiness. The chicken was the only disappointment — just a touch dry, with the spice rub stopped cold by the skin. A side of cheesy (and peppery) grits was ter-rific when piping hot, but the texture went south with cooling. The braised greens were expertly done, with a nice touch of vinegar and pepper, and just the right tenderness.

This particular Old Port space has long loomed on Wharf Street like that hollow pit we carry where our souls should be. I won-

dinner + MovieJust the meat, pleaseat Buck’s, naked is the way to Be

f At Buck’s Naked BBQ the meat is cooked plain — without being infused

or coated with in any particular sauce. This is meat we can relate to. What is any one of us Americans, really, but a warm pile of flesh lacking any particular piquancy? We don’t even move around much anymore. We just sit there at a desk or on a couch. All that is missing is the plate underneath us. Is it so surprising that the Jamestown settlers ate that girl?

At Buck’s you can splash your meat with any of various sauces, housed in red squeeze bottles at your table — just as we, lacking the deeper qualities of character, try on dif-ferent personalities, and their accompany-ing clothes, skin markings, and facial hair. This works better for Buck’s than it does for the rest of us. Though they call the meat “naked,” most of Buck’s barbecue has been rubbed with a subtle mix of spices that min-gles nicely with the smoke of the cooker and the meat’s natural flavor. We didn’t need to reach for those red bottles too often.

Buck’s, which first established itself in Freeport, has taken over the huge space for-merly occupied by Havana South in the Old Port. The space is filled with huge booths

and tables — the better for families and large parties to gather around massive platters of meat and lots of sides. There is some kitschy décor around, but wherever you are sitting most of it is far away. Inside your high-walled booth you will focus on the food. The servers are relaxed and convivial, but they also take care of your meal.

A salad consisting of a grilled head of romaine had some appealing smokiness and got off the heat before wilting. It was served with a mushy mix of grilled squash and peppers. A lamb appetizer came with a terrific salad — lively bitter greens enhanced by a mix of feta and black olives, with a light dressing. The lamb was great too, tender and a touch fatty with rich earthy flavor. But the mint sauce had more sugar than sour, which pushed it in the direction of tooth-paste. But sauce-schmauce with meat this good, which is the general theme at Buck’s. On the other hand, we relied on a spicy sauce to enliven the fried okra. Since it was the day’s special side dish, it was surprising that it seemed pre-frozen.

The actual barbecue, on the other hand, seems beyond reproach. The pork ribs in particular were spot-on, with a great char,

dered if anyone could successfully fill it with a business that did not involve black-out drinking and ladies-nights. Buck’s might be the solution. It is family-friendly, but has a cheeky attitude and retains a bit of meaty-drinky frisson, which gives it just enough edge to fit in the neighborhood. The Old Port is so often about finding a way to get naked with somebody. Buck’s reminds us that ex-istentially speaking we already are, and that is okay. ^

MANY OPTIONS a selection of the barbecue at Buck’s.

f Ostensibly, the first feature film by Spencer McCall seeks to provide a

portrait of a San Francisco organization called the Jejune Institute, whose mission hovers somewhere between the poles of self-help, performance art, disinformation, and an alternate-reality game. But if this is a portrait, we’re not in art class anymore. Over a series of interviews with organizers and “inductees” spliced with raw-seeming candid footage of Jejune activities in full swing, we join together the bare bones of a most mysterious organizational body.

There’s a hazily cultish, pseudoscien-tific induction ceremony; a bizarre sort of scavenger hunt through the city’s finan-cial district; and even a renegade inductee called Organeil whose fervent dedication to the reshaping of reality so far surpassed the group’s that it led to a sort of shadowy splinter faction. All is punctuated by a litany of stilted dispatches from an aged 1960s hippie-in-a-suit named Octavio Coleman, Esq., Jejune’s purported intel-lectual founder and fervent proselytizer of its practice of “Nonchalance,” about whom portrayals vary widely: virtuous godhead, scientific mastermind, and ne-

life is elsewhere

_By nicholas schroeder

spencer Mccall’s Bewildering The InsTITuTe

INTENTIONAL MISDIRECTION? The Institute raises many questions.

farious crackpot.The role of pseudoscience looms large

throughout. Indeed, by their own ac-counts several members first discovered the Jejune Institute through flyers for strangely metaphysical quack products (like the Vital Organ Force Field, for ex-ample). Interest in such things, the film would suggest, is a trait shared by certain adventurous or otherwise disaffected souls; these are the majority of Jejune par-ticipants, who recall with a bubbling mix of bewilderment and wonder their roles in

subterranean rescue missions, objectless protests, and spontaneous dance jams at public pay phones (the latter of which in-volves a sasquatch, just so you know).

As a roundabout sort of documentation of a fundamentally ephemeral practice, it’s only natural that The Institute falls short of fully capturing its subject. Even after the second viewing, the impulse to consult the Internet for clues was strong. But such inquiries go nowhere. The Insti-tute is a closed loop.

As so much else will prove to be, the film reveals the Jejune Institute product line i as something of a red herring. The only thing they’re selling, it seems, is obsequious devo-tion to the philosophies of one Evalyn Luc-ien, a free-spirited young woman we learn went missing in 1988. If Coleman is the in-tellectual forebear of Nonchalance, then Eva (the film insists on the nickname without the forensic attachment of a surname) is its matriarch, writing longingly about a place she calls “elsewhere.” As if bounding down a rabbit hole or one of its own tortuous scaven-ger hunts, the sudden focus on her dossier is startling. She is exalted: Eva the artist, Eva the discontent, Eva the icon. The sensation of huh? is prolonged.

But holding it to the standards of a documentary seems a little unfair. McCall’s film might equally be seen as a sort of in-struction manual. He’s clearly fascinated — maybe even involved to a degree — with his subject, and seems to understand that

treating it either with rigorous exegesis or the blustery devotion of an acolyte would greatly diminish its appeal. He also doesn’t bother to contextualize, and so like Eva and Coleman, the specters of Wilhelm Reich, L. Ron Hubbard, Allan Kaprow, Judith Ma-lina, Ivan Stang, and even The Matrix haunt the film from afar. Putting aside its fic-tions, it smartly examines the possibilities of non-monetized life, and so is basically a must for performance-art students, latent Situationists, punks, hippies, radicals, cultural studies academics, the unconscio-nably bored, and any theater person who goes beyond Sam Shepard.

But content aside, what makes The In-stitute work is elsewhere indeed. Like one of Jejune’s oblique product flyers, McCall maintains a palpable distance from his study, relying instead on a flux of symbols and gestures that shepherd the viewer down several paths at once. In doing so, his film simulates the same sort of trapdoor from reality so tantalizing about its subject. No doubt, it’s one of the most unique docu-mentaries I’ve seen in a while. And though it’s not exactly what it purports to be — and that’s as much as I’ll say on the matter — the same might very well be said about ev-eryday life. ^

fThe moon is new and waxing this week. You may find matters that once seemed minor

now loom larger. Or, if last week brought crisis and chaos, resolution comes quickly. As for the holiday? Easily handled. For Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo: don’t spare the expense. Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra: creative gestures are appreciated. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius: she’ll be thrilled you remember. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces: no need to rehash the dismal parts of your growing up.

new moon in taurus, moon void-of-course 8:28 pm until 5:21 pm Friday, solar eclipse (visible in australia and points east),

Venus moves into Gemini. taurus moons prompt longing for beauty, music, and solvency. pisces, aries, taurus, Gemini, and cancer: stay close to folks who bring a touch of class to your life. Virgo, capricorn, libra, and Sagittarius: review investments (do you have any?). Scor-pio, leo, and aquarius: expect irritability with folks who look at all the spring mud and decide to be a stick in it.

Waxing moon in taurus, moon void-of-course 8:28 pm until 5:21 pm when it moves into Gemini. an excellent day for going

over accounts, or doing solitary work. But the evening is all about so-cializing. a good day for gossip if you’re a taurus, Gemini, capricorn, cancer, or libra. exaggeration comes easily for Sagittarius, pisces, Vir-go, and Scorpio. aquarius and leo: perfectionism is your enemy.

Waxing moon in Gemini. When the moon is in the sign of the twins, figure “a frank exchange of ideas” is a theme for the day.

For some folks, that adds up to arguing, so Virgo, pisces, and Sagit-tarius: tread lightly. Gemini, libra, aries, leo, and aquarius: indulge your appetite for knowledge. capricorn, taurus, Scorpio, and cancer: if you’ve been wanting a heart-to-heart, this is a fine day for it. Gemini moons are also excellent for buying items that come in pairs.

Waxing moon in Gemini, moon void-of-course 9:32 am until 5:57 am Monday; Mother’s day. excellent day for multi-tasking, but

don’t forget Mom. a good day for making purchases you won’t have for long. also, a fine day for reviewing relationships. discretion will be difficult for Virgo, pisces, capricorn, and Sagittarius, and flightiness could be the story for Gemini, libra, and aquarius. aries, leo, cancer, and taurus: the craziest story could seem true — but watch your gullibility.

Waxing moon in cancer. the sign of the crab can make folks defensive without quite realizing what they’re doing. try to

avoid “persuading” someone out of a point of view — especially if they’re a capricorn, libra, or aries. But this is a lovely day for deepen-ing a relationship, so cancer, pisces, Scorpio, taurus, and Virgo should make the grand gesture. Sagittarius, leo, aquarius, and Gemini: if you want to accelerate a project, you may be on your own.

Waxing moon in cancer. this moon brings out the “homebody” desire, and baked goods and comfort food could be a consolation

for cancer, taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and pisces. capricorn, libra, and aries: tread lightly around emotionally fragile folks you know. aquarius, Gemini, leo, and Sagittarius: it’s a good day to talk about your “issues,” especially if you’re feeling spring fever. (“tissues” if it’s hay fever.)

Waxing moon in cancer, moon void-of-course 8:14 am until 6:38 pm when it moves into leo. Mercury moves into Gemini.

paradoxical astrological transits. Voc moon says communication (in-cluding email and rumors) is FUBar. yet Mercury in Gemini suggests words are the answer. you just may need to say something in more than one way, especially Gemini, cancer, leo, pisces, and aquarius. aries, capricorn, libra — you’re betwixt and between. Sagittarius, Vir-go, taurus, and Scorpio: romance and coziness unite for you.

moon Keys This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon moves into the sun sign opposite yours (see below), expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. Other oppositions are Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, and Virgo/Pisces. The moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | As the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of course,” making no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. But it’s great for brainstorming. | For Symboline Dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thePhoenix.com. Symboline Dai can be reached at sally@moonsigns.net.
