Inexplicably, it did not. "Unfortunately, it is a process which does take time to complete," Murphy said. "It is complete now, and the testing will go ahead as scheduled." That means April, at best. The most productive flats will be tested first, Murphy said, so that the impact on dig· gerscan be minimized. All testing is expected to be finished by October. Murphy said, "With increased concern about pollution along the shores of the entire United States and the world, more people are focusing on the public health." As Casco Bay shut down, the Harraseeket River flats in Freeport opened one month after 200,000 gallons of sewage leaked onto the flats. Tests showed the clams were safe for westbrook woman champions house Marie Rackley, 24, of Westbrook is making a rescue attempt for the 1881-vintage parson's house that sits on Westbrook city land. The city has decided to knock down the delicately porched and donnered building if no one takes it away. There are plans to put a public safety building where the rickety parsonage stands. Rackley has said she'll try to have the house chopped in sections and rebuilt elsewhere. She estimates the cost of that to be $80,000. Other proposals were made last week - a public hearing Jan. 23 will air the options. "We don't want the brownstone-on-Park-Street (Portland) situation," said the City Attorney, Richard Sullivan. -Hannah Holmes Casco Bay Weekly Thursday .January 19,1989 24 pages ~«··.:·tr:~ UPDATES; .ii~~:d TALK The Pierre behind Pierre's School of Beauty Culture REGULAR, OR ;<5::~:::::j. ~;j~~\ UNREGULATED? -'N)\#IEWS More eats and fewer cars DEPsues C.N. Brown Great Diamond is national treasure Condo developers at Fort McKinley on Great Diamond Island have a new standard to meet as they tum the old brick barracks into expensive housing. The National Park Service has nominated the whole fort to the National Register of Historic Places. This means Diamond Cove Associates will have to meet federal and state standards, besides Portland's. Alread y the project is mired in state regulations that require "McKinley Estates" to contribute zero sewage pollution to Casco Bay. consumption. "Indications are there's absolutely nothing wrong with the shellfish there, or we wouldn't have opened it," said Lewis. "Like anything in life, you can't be guaranteed 100 percent. But if you tested every clam, there wouldn't be any left to eat." The area is only open conditionally in the best of times, because of its proximity to the sewage treatment plant. The cause of the sewage spill is a little less that 100 percent clear. Freeport Sewer Superintendent Wallace Britton said he doesn't know whatcaused both the main and the back-up pump to die simultaneously. ''I'm no electrician," he said. "Both motors just blew." Britton is looking for a spare pump, but said, "We haven't found on yet. But we're looking around to find an outfit we can buy the cheapest from." -Barbara Carridi Shennan Street shakedown The owners of two troubled Shennan Street buildings have refused several offers by a company seeking to rermovate the buildings into affordable housing. The buildings, owned by New Sherman Street Associates, were the subject of a cover story in last week's Casco Bay Weekly. The buildings have accumulated dozens of violations of the city's housing and trash codes, and are 20 months behind in their property taxes despite collection of more than $30,000 in welfare rent subsidies. Bob Monks of Dirigo Management said he "would like to take on tough buildings like these to use as a model" of a public/private redevelopment plan he hopes to initiate. Meanwhile, members of the Parkside Neighborhood Association have continued to hunt down the oWllers of other buildings they consider to be problems. On Tuesday, Jan 24, the owners of one such property 111 Sherman St. - will face neighbors Tom and Margaret Joyce in court over trash and parking differences. The Joyces, who live in and own a 6-unit building at 115 Sherman St., have had difficulties with the tenants next door. "They have a lot of undesirables in there," said Margaret Joyce, who claims that the small dumpster for the 25-unit building overflows in a single day. The Joyces' case hinges around violations cited by Burton Maclsaac, the city housing inspector who spent much of 1988 attempting to serve summonses to New Shennan Street partner Steven Dodd. In last week's story, we incorrectly reported that Maclsaac never found Dodd. MacIsaac did catch Dodd once - on May 12, 1988 - at his residence in Scarborough, but as far as he knows no court appearance has resulted from that summons. "I suspect it was sort of lost along tl)e wayside," said MacIsaac. We also misquoted Portland Corporation Counsel David Lourie as stating that the New Shennan Street Associates were required by Maine law to file "Doing Business As" statements. In fact, as Lourie later clarified, DBAs are only legally mandated for "mercantile" ventures. In other words, it was legal for the partners in BBL Ventures to conceal their identities from the city clerk and the secretary of state. In response, Parkside neighbor and freshman legislator Herb Adams said that he intends to introduce legislation requiring full disclosure of the identities ofabsentee landlords. - Monte Paulsen eN. Brown Co. is being sued by the Department of Environmental Protection for failing to give the DEP inventories of the oil in its underground storage tanks. The DEP also says that since 1986 the heating oil and gasoline distributor has had five underground spills, one in Portland. The inventory, required by law for two years, is supposed to make sure that leaking tanks are found quickly. Since, according to the DEP, one gallon of gasoline can ruin tens of thousands of gallons of water for decades, they like to know when tanks are leaking. If more gas is gone from the tank than has been pumped into cars, it's a good bet that the tank is spilling gas into the ground. The Portland spill took place at one of eN. Brown's Big Apple stores, on Congress St. eN. Brown, which owned 312 tanks in 1987, is accused of turning in not one scrap of "appropriate paperwork" on the tanks in those two years this adds up to hundreds of inventory violations. "Administrative negotiations with eN. Brown didn't seem to be coming to any fruition," said Brooke Barnes, a policy analyst at the DEP. Since eN. Brown wasn't complying voluntarily, the DEP and the State of Maine filed suit. Severin Beliveau, CN. Brown's lawyer, said the company has submitted inventories, but that they were authored by a consulting finn the DEP doesn't endorse. If convicted in Kennebec County Superior Court, eN. Brown faces penalties of $100 to $25,000 for each violation. ·Hannah Holmes COVER STORY by Hannah Holmes ./f Photos by Joe Kievit! ~[I ~(t ....h::::.~NART SEEN Artists in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King N-<'::-;';''''' "1 .OMNh '~'!: dk,~", CALENDAR American sounds: folk, blues and jazz harpsichord o/::~:r::~;? t jSTAGE : A second chance for Wilhelm Reich ]t i{Sl~ SPORT Getting ready for the Stupor Bowl :~:~: :Z CLASSIFIED Casco Bay Weekly is a paper for people irving in or concerned about the cities and towns of the Portland area.

But it happens to everyone. It happens to the students. It's happened to all the instructors when they were students. It happens in salons, too. The defense of Cafe Always The news comes slowly to this remote gulag, hence a delay in one more view on the Kaye/Cafe Always brouhaha. I've enjoyed dining at the lowkey /first-rate dining place through two ownerships. One critic's opinion is not going to shut it down, Kaye's track record on the I<>.cal dining experience - food and service, decor and ambiance - is peerless. She misses nothing, speaks her mind; her comments are fresh! y coined and obviously rooted in a lifetime intimacy with international cuisines. Why then, this flood of invective from Cafe's corps of loyal regulars? Perhaps her use of "pretentious" seemed a bit much fora decorI'd describe as understated, but she did not fault the menu (as she did in the two accompanying reviews). What troubled her was the frequent menu changes. So what. Star quarterbacks sometimes fumble. Home run hitters often strike out. All the poor dame wanted was a forkful of Thai bundle appetizer pork and vegetable strips in a flaky pastry - for a friend and it wasn't there. That's what she wrote. The ensuing outcries of protest - "ugly, distorted view," "insulting and denigrating," "unfounded and negative," "absurd and arrogant," "petty, cowardly and ignorant," "disappointment and outrage," smack of organized overkill, a serving of fulsome support a restaurant as good as Cafe Always does not need. that we are blessed with a cornucopia of culinary and sensory delights. On the contrary, the glut of dining rooms in Portland implies, like the thousands of health code violations, tha t there are too many shoddy operations being run. I had originally intended to write in praise of Ms. Kaye's style of restaurant review and in admiration of her journalistic abilities. Now it seems Imust defend her from those who do not want to read an intelligently concise evaluation, but rather, a lengthy advertisement which would reaffirm their fine sense of taste. We desperately need someone like Althea Kaye who is unafraid of people who mix plaids with stripes and who pick their butts with the same hand that dips the meat pot. In the future I would rather read someone's disagreement with restaurant critics only if the critic was too easy on the joint. I've wasted too much money on dumps that have received high marks from critics who would eat shit from a rusty spoon. .\~~~k I was disappointed that Martin Dibner uiA..Q,{ someone else bylined the Eats Casco column while airing the moronic outcry over her performance.

For the past week we" ve been drenched with feature stories and made-for-TV movies about the successes of the civil rights movement. There have been successes, and they deserve our attention. There is the tendency to think that racism is something we dealt with in the '60s -- but much remains to be done . Almost a thousand Cambodians live in or near Greater Portland about the same number as blacks who live here. Both groups are often misunderstood. As we take time to look more closely at our neighbors of color, we must bear in mind that racism is not something we dealt with in the '60s or even something we dealt with in the '80s. It is something we must each struggle with, every day. _ Caseo Bay Weekly An instrument of commun ity understanding , Gal')' Santaniello publisher MargWaUs advertising manager Kate Halpert Carr)' Young disp lay advertis ing John Shalek classified advertising Told Oshima illustration Diane DesMarais circulation manager John Jone. circulation Do you ever get sick of hair? Yeah, I suppose like every other person, you get a little tired of your profession. And ours is a unique profession too. If you're a banker no one asks you to come over and do their banking; but if you're a hairdresser your next door neighborsays, "Oh,my daughter has a play. Can you braid her hair?" or, "Please come over and give me a perm." You're constantly getting bombarded with things like that. But I have not yet gotten tired of it, which is wonderful. And, Newmenwashes his hairand can't do a thing with it. Even though the snow guns have made plenty of snow in the mountains, interest in .January skiing unfortunately still seems directly proportional to the amount of snow on the ground here.

Ca.co Bay Weekly t87 Clark Street Portland, ME O4t02 by Hannah Holmes Photos by .Ioe Klevitt , Having fled their embattled homeland, Portland's Cambodian refugees are now caught between two cultures.

O n the floor of a Portland apartment sits a Buddhist monk, wrapped in brown, quiet and still. On Cumberland A venue, American life rattles out its colorful song. Mang So is a refugee from Cambodia who was brought to Portland in March by the Cambodian community. Cambodian refugees who have lived for years in Portland without a spiritual leader suddenly found themselves with a comforting foot in a world they thought they had left behind. The community drew together around this lonely, bony monk who is kept separate from America in this unfurnished apartment. Mang So is something they can call their own. C ambodian refugees in Portland have left one war behind, but it is replaced by a battle that rages between the old and the new cultures. Transplanted into this country, these people have nothing familiar to hold onto as they try to adjust to life in America. "There is no psychiatry in Cambodia. The monk is the counselor." -Sitha lim . Pol p.ot' s c~mmunist. Khmer Rouge guerillas toppled CambodIan Pnnce Sihanouk m 1975, shortly after the United States' military forces withdrew from Vietnam. Since then, North Vietnamese troops, also communist, have invaded Cambodia, driving Pol Pot back into the jungle and further muddying the political waters of the country. The United States now accepts hundreds of thousands of refugees who are able to fight their way out of Cambodia. Most refugees are brought here by religious organizations who help them settle. In Portland the group is the Refugee Resettlement Program, run by the Catholic Diocesan Human Relations Service. In the past, many refugees.brought to Maine didn't stay long. They went to join large Cambodian communities in Lowell, Mass., Providence, R.I., or Long Beach, Calif. That's changing, says David Agan, director of the Refugee Resettlement Program. With Maine's labor shortage, it's not hard for the Cambodians to find jobs these days, and there is a monk in Portland. Maine is now home to 1,000 Cambodian, or Khmer, people. . In 1978 Sitha Lim, a Cambodian military officer under Sihanouk, began walking through the jungle. For four days and four nights he walked toward Thailand. For one year he waited at the ?order. in a Red Cross camp. For another year he lived in a camp m ThaIland. In 1981 the U.S. accepted him as a refugee, and he was settled in Maryland. He soon moved to Portland to be with friends. No matter where Cambodians settle, they are faced with a culture that is absolutely different from their own. "Dress is different, food is different, time is different, employment is different, housing is different, family is different, we treat the kids different," says Sitha Lim, who works at the Refugee Resettlement Program. He says that after eight years, he, his wife, and their two children are still working outa system of family dynamics that will satisfy both cultures. Inside the family the new influences struggle with the old. Women in Cambodia are generally housewives, says Sitha Lim. They are strictly controlled by their parents until they marry. Even marriage is arranged for them. Their power is limited to control of the family finances. But when Cambodian families hit America, the women go to work. Cambodian families are bigger than American families, and it takes two incomes to pay the bills. The question of who cooks, cleans, and cares for the children arises. "Most women love it. They have power: Men go back into depression," says Sitha Lim. "They can't do the laundry, they take the baby in the shower. About 20 percent cannot adjust. They have to separate and divorce." Children, too, find new freedom in American culture. American children are legally free from the tyranny of their parents when they tum 18. In Cambodia parents are revered and obeyed all their lives. They are not, as Sitha Lim says, "put off in a nursing home. "But we feel hope for the children. After they adjust, the children love it here. They love American food, friends, clothes, schoo!." The battle between the cultures, the sexes, and the generations I . can spill over into violence.

Up from the Eastern carpets and matting rises the foreign form of a telephone. His eyes twinkle, and he waves a thumb in the air. "America is number one in telephone," he says. "In Cambodia it is very importantthat you walk to the temple if you want to talk to t.he monk about something. Nobody has a telephone. Here we use the telephone to talk to the monk." A lone in the temple, the monk experiences most of the culture collisions vicariously. He doesn't work or socialize among Americans. There are things like the telephone that he faces head on, but his primary role is not to lead people into American ways. It is to anchor them in Khmer ways. . "I come here to explain how to walk in the right way, not to do the bad things and," he says, "to teach about Buddhism." One of the things that he worries most about is the interaction of young Cambodian men and women. "I see people fooling around like boyfriend-girlfriend. I don't want Cambodians to do that. It is not right for Asians. We don't criticize them. We don!t look down at people. We don't ·judge. We are not proud. We just tell our people not to do that." Sameath Nhonh is a young man. He's 14 years old, a freshman at Waynflete. He spends a lot of time with Mang So - enough to have learned the monk's language and some prayers. "Most of the time I don't even have to ask him what to do, he just tells me," says Sameath Nhonh. "It's good to have a monk. I'm happy." He says he often calls his friends in the summer, Cambodian and American alike, and they all go to the temple together. He feels the same way as Mang So about the dating scene. He says, "Cambodian kids don't smoke or drink. And we don't go out on dates. When we're kids we should just think about school and things like that." Then there are the things that Mang So has to deal with personally, the things that alter the face of Cambodian Buddhism in an American setting. American time is one. Our work week is built around the Christian day of worship - Sunday. The Cambodian work week is built around the Buddhist calendar, which designates six days of every 30-day moon cycle for worship. Cambodians working in America find they don't have time to honor the Buddhist Galendar, so the ceremonies are held on Sunday. In Cambodian communities Mang So would have more company. Most families in Cambodia will send at least one son to be a monk. There is no obligation to remain a monk. Some men stay for a week, some for two years. There is no shame in leaving soon. "It is very good for a person to become a monk for a week," says Peng Kern. ''It is good to come here to clean the head, clean the body. Take ambition out, take ang~r out, take ignorance out." And, if you have the will, all it takes is permission from Mang So, a robe, and a haircut. "When Buddha was alive, if you believed in him very much, you kneel in front of him like this." Peng Kern presses his hands together and bows slightly toward Mang So. "He would write maybe two, three words, and your clothing would be gone. You would ha ve only the robe, and shaved head. Twenty-five hundred years ago there was magic," he laughs. In the year that the monk has been here one Portland man has come to be a monk for one week. Mang So, who can't go out alone, doesn't complain about his solitude. It is, he says with a rare, delicate laugh, hard for him to learn English when he has no one to speak with. "When the teacher goes, it (English) goes out with him," he says. "There is no one to speak to. Yes I get lonely. To become a monk it means I have to lead a separate life, lonely from the community." parents, he is a center around which the Khmer people can begin to build a peace. The old can find their balance, and the young can find their roots. "lt used to be only elderly people attending activities," says Sambo Sok, a temple member from Sanford. "Now more adolescents and teenagers are paying attention to their heritage." Since the monk's arrival the Cambodian community has mobilized to find a new temple for him, a more peaceful place for him to meditate. They rally at fundraisers and festivals, excited about rebuilding the barn on a piece of Buxton farmland. Mang So himself will be hitting the road in February on a fundraising tour. He'll go to Cambodian communities throughout New England and maybe into Canada, asking Khmer communities to donate money. While he's away, a new monk may arrive. The Wat Samaki Committee has committed $1,000 to bringing a second monk from Thailand. This, say temple members, will allow one monk to spend more time with Khmer people who live outside of Portland. Mang of the Wat Samald (united temple) with leaves dipped in water. From a temple in Lynn, Mass. an . envoy will go to Thailand, maybe as early as February, and bnng the new monk home. He will join Mang So in the temple. Still Sambo Sok is cautious. "It will take years to build the trust which people lost during the war," he says. "Trust between parents and children, children and friends, the whole community. In the old time: people trusted each other. Especially the monk, because that IS a pure person. Now the monk is here, it will be better./I T he monk experiences loneliness, but Khmer people, rally~ ing around him, are finding a new sense of community. "Even before his arrival there was a new spirit within the community of cooperation and common purpose," says Agan at the Refugee Resettlement Program. "Now they have aspiritual leader. He's been a real galvanizing element in bringing the people together." . However they reach the monk, whether they call him on the phone, bring his rice every day or just hear about him from their "I come here to explain how to Hannah Holmes, a staff writer for Casco Bay Weekly, also has her own time zone.

Where do artists get these ideas and how do they get put into practice? Is this an exhibition of 50 paintings of Martin Luther King? Is this "black art," as some art critics might call it? "Artists in CeleQration of Dr. Martin Luther King" will be on view at St. Luke's Cathedral, State Street, Portland, through January 28. Hours are Sunday through Thursday 1-5 pm; Fridays 1-9 pm; Saturday, January 21, 1-5 pm; and Saturday, January 28, -9 am-l pm. Last September, at a regular meeting of the Maine Project on Southern Africa (MPOSA), coordinator Ivan Suzman asked what MPOSA could do in honor of Martin Luther King Day, January 16. Marie Galland, a Windham resident, artist and teacher, suggested that they hold an art exhibit. The idea was born and a lot of the credit for carrying it out goes to Galland. She is also an active member of the Union of Maine Visual Artists (UMV A). She proposed the idea to the exhibition committee_ Together MPOSA and UMV A sponsored the show and recruited the artists. The Maine Project on Southern Africa is dedicated to increasing the awareness about rurrent conditions in southern Africa. MPOSA also acts as a resource for people in their efforts to end apartheid. They offer public and group programs, refugee support, South African music, speakers and workshops, and political advocacy. UMV A, mainly Galland and Bea and Ken Gordon, received and catalogued the paintings; dug up suitable hanging partitions so that they could use the parish hall of St. Luke's; and actually assembled the show_ They also got the refreshments, did press releases, engaged judges, and generally made it happen. Suzman meanwhile was busy calling the media and spreading the word. MPOSA member Susan Wilson helped with the actual setting up of the exhibition. Artists responded to what Suzman calls "the first civil rights art exhibition in Maine" because they have an opportunity to express their support for King's ideals. The most frequent question from the artists was whether or not the work had to be about civil rights or about oppression. The answer was no; the intent of the artist to be supportive was good enough. Artist Natasha Mayers said, "Since I went to Nicaragua in 1984, my work has been about oppression." She offered two A:rtists responded to what Suzman calls "the f"trSt civil rights art exhibition in Maine" because they have an opportunity to express their support for King's ideals_ oil paintings of disappeared civilians - "We Remain Uncertain as to Their Fate" and "Reported Missing." These are oppressed Central Americans. But the paintings speak to the work of MPOSA and Dr. King and to the oppressed all over the world. Marie Galland, who had the most time to think about the exhibition (whether she wanted to or not) created a piece especially for it. Her freestanding sculpture, called "Struggle for a New Woild," has red and black figures floating in front of multi-colored backgrounds with words "life and destiny" and "community or chaos" scrawled on them. Carlo Pittore offered a large stark black and white (and gray) painting of an unmistakable Abe Lincoln sitting in front of a white man behind bars and (2()7) '772-4&80 a black woman and child in front of the bars. For me the most interesting picture is by Susan Drucker. It isa pastel drawing divided into four squares entitled "Happy Holiday." One square has a hunter; one a lyncher; one marching soldiers; and one Martin Luther King. This piece expresses all the themes of the DANCE AROUND TOWN exhibition. Other pictures, like June Stevenson's tranquil landscape of oil on paper, didn't express a political statement (although her title, "Wetland or WasteExtraordinarily lyrical and exuberant dances land," did) but still made an important contribution to the "music made visible" exhibition.

Geena Davis plays a pet trainer who turns Hurt's life around. The best scenes in the movie center around the writer's eccentric Baltimore family headed by his sister, wonderfully portrayed by Amy Wright. SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!

A Cry In the D.rk Meryl Streep is at her best in this docu-<lrama. based on a true story, about an Australian woman whose daughter is snatched and killed by a dingo during a family camping trip. Later, she is charged and convicted of the child's murder. Frank Schepisi di· rected the movie which documents the public hysteria about the crime. Unfor· tunately, although we see the media coloring the story of the child's disappearance, we never see what it was the public saw on television and read in the paper that turned all of Australia against the mother. I'm not a fan of Streep, but Streep's cold aloofness works extremely well in this one. +rec· ommends ... D.ep Star Six Even the trailers for this one don't give us any idea what it is about. The only clue offered suggests that most of the action may take place under water. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Steve Martin and Michael Caine star in this comedy about a sophisticated British con artist and his American sidekick. H.ndful of Dust Finally, the Portland premiere of Evelyn Waugh's tale of the bored English aristocracy ... a story of a man who leaves his wife for the Amazon. The film version stars James Wilby. Kristin Scott Thomas, Judi Dench, Angelica Huston, Alec Guiness and Rupert Graves. Th. Janu.ry Man Kevin Kline is the main attraction in this offbeat cop flick. Kline carries of the eccentricities of his character with aplomb. Rod Steiger is good as the Mayor of New York and Susan Saran don plays the frigid wife as well as she plays the seductress. Unfortunately, the combination of performances does not equal one good movie. Land Before Tim. An animated flick for kids and others about the plight of littlefoot, a charming baby dinosaur who seeks sanctuary in the Great Vafley after his parents are killed in an earthquake. The trailer always gets ooh's and aah's from the audience, even from the adults. Last Portland appearance before East Coast tour! Join us for TlMAcd_.. T_.t 1 :30, 4. 7, 9:30 Beache. Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey play lifelong friends. Midler is an aspiring star, Hershey a well·to-do wasp. The movie has its moments (about three of them and their not too memorable), but it is one of those movies about a loved one slowly dying. You get tired of crying for a character you couldn't care less about. Th. B.at G.n.ratlon Filmmaker Janet Forman combines archival footage with contemporary interviews to proouce a portrait of the '50s and the beat generation. The movie features Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Abbie Hoffman, Neaf Cassady, lawrence Ferlinghetti, Diane di Prima, Amiri Baker?leRoi Jones, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Timothy leary and Thelonius Monk.

Oliver is a cute orange kitten who is influenced by a gang of streetwise dogs. Some of the voices you'll hear include Billy Joel. Dom Deluise and Bette Midler. Rain Man Dustin Hoffman's per· formance in this movie deserves the Academy Award. Hoffman plays an autistic adult, Raymond Babbitt, who has inherited his father's estate. Tom Cruise plays his brother who has just discovered his brother's existence and has his eye on the inheritance. Unfortunately, Cruise's performance is just good enough; he is diminutive in the presence of Hoffman.

Robert Anton Wilson is a science fiction writer,a philosopher and a futurist. Wilson's interest in Reich was aroused by the banning of Reich' s books. Being opposed to book banning, Wilson set out to learn more about Reich. As the result of Wilson's interest in Reich, Wilson's first play, "Wilhelm Reich in Hell" premiered in Dublin in 1985. In the play Reich is tried again. In the thespian trial his character is given the chance to defend his ideas in a circus-like court. The play's trial is a spectacle. The Ringmaster is judge and the charges he reads against Reich concern Reich's politics and ideas, including his claim that he is the only sane man in the world. But Reich's most heinous crime against society is the cult of followers propagating his ideas. The charges read against him sound like the charges against Socrates - outlandish ideas are fine as long as no one is influenced by them. The play's-caslof characters includes hislorical figures and caricatures from the Marqis de Sade to Ronald Reagan. Marilyn Monroe makes an appearance to share her ideas on sexual repression and the "Anti-Sex League" is represented by the radicallesbian Comrade Kate. The AMA is represented as a band of punk-rockers. In Port Stars production Wilhelm Reich is played by Harlan Baker, the Ringmaster by Bruce Pineau and the two prosecutors, Marquis de Sade and Luitpold von SacherMasoch, by Seth Berner and Matthew Batten, respectively, Director Mark Mannette's interest in Reich began with a tour of Orgonon, where the Reich Foundation continues to conduct workshops and seminars on Reich's ideas. It is Mannette's hope that Wilson's play will make more people aware of the ideas that convicted a man to prison here 30 years ago.

It's not the San Andreas Fault falling into the ocean. It is the pearly gates of history opening up, welcoming yet another Super Bowl into the sporting annals of Uncle Sam. If you do not watch this game you are most likely a Communist, comrade. That's the big party line, anyway. Right from the day Lombardi's mighty Packers won the first Super Bowl in 1967, this monumental dud has generally deteriorated by the third quarter into a sleep-inducing, blunder-filled, onesided excuse for a professional championship. If you've been watching the game to appreciate great football, you're better off watching the video tapes of your kid's Pop Wamer title game. Super Bowls are a lot like the Rocky movie series in ! both quantity (Rocky XXIII is out this summer) and in predictablyboringplots(SanFrancisco by 17 points or Rocky's grandson whips the flu without using Saint ]osepn'saspirin), Given the forsight that the Super Bowl will be an artistic flop and a competitive joke, what reason is there to still tolE'rate this diatribe of football by overpaid, third-rate gridiron stooges? The answer, my friend, is waiting to be devoured in the refrigerator, the cooler and in a myriad of plastic bags from such reputable finns as Bachman, Planters, Frito Lay, Nabisco, Keebler and Tom's. This game, especially its pre- and post-game activities, has turned into an annual ''blowout'' in terms of alcohol, soda, sandwiches, munchies and consumables in general. People, particularly men, choose Super Bowl Sunday as a special occasion to come off the wagon, or off a diet, or off Mount Everest. The point is to come off of something and onto the couch, pig out, have some gusto, pretend you really want one of these teams to win and scream with friends like rabid dogs in front the old RCA television, Not to party on this day would be equivalent to Santa Claus not working Christmas Eve, or bars closing on St. Patrick's Day, or the bride and groom in twin beds on their honeymoon. It's possible, I suppose, but e'man! So accepting the reality that the actual Super Bowl between San Francisco and Cincinnati will suck stronger than the Roto-Rooter man's hose ever dreamed of, here is a guide on how to enjoy this ceremonial day. Pre-game activity Buy the Sunday paper in whatever city you wake up in it matters not. Tum to the sports section and find the eight hilarious pages devoted to the Super Bowl. Talkaboutusele55 sports trivia! You will learn things about these players that they don't know themselves. besides, American football is stupid." You get the idea. For an hour's worth of laughs read the Sunday sports section. In between a couple of legitimate stories, your inquiring mind can feast on a National Enquirer's view of little known facts about our Super Bowl heroes. After educating yourself on the players, 5tock the shelves. The key to decisions here is whether the game will be viewed at home or away. If you're watching this extravaganza on the road (at a friend's house), there are only three rules: bring something to drink, pick a designated driver, and show up at least an hour early. Showing up too close to game time can make your host nervous and cause him to question his worth as a human being. You'll also get a better seat with the early arrival. If you're watching at home and friends are scheduled to invade, then the survey says to buy two cases of beer, two bottles of wine, one case of soda and enough munchies to choke a hippopotamus (call the local zoo for exact amounts). Your toilet should be in working condition or the Super owlwilltakeonawhole new meaning. 170 U.S. Route 1, Falmouth • 781-4502 I!, NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION 50 Start off 1989 right, with a dozen activities and services, all right here!

Quarterback Joe Montana stole a box of Twinkies at the age of eight and ate them all- filling first within 30 minutes. Coach Bill Walsh is a Pisces but won't eat fish under a full moon unless a fortune cookie says differently, The official line from Montserrat predicts that "the pOint spread is two goals for Cincinnati because the national sport of the Caribbean is soccer and again, through this wearisome travesty. The brightest one in the bunch will add "next year will be different." Right. Hand the car keys to the Coca-Cola kid (the one who only watches for the half-time show) and allow yourself to be driven home. Hey, if San Francisco-Cincinnati turns out to be a fantastic, nail-biting, controversial, competitive match, I'll be the first to apologize to Greater Portland and the NFL. I'm not even worried.

Miami over Washington in 1973 ... Pittsburgh over Minnesota in 1975 ... and Oakland over Philadelphia last season. Watch for Bud Bowl I - an exciting presentation by Budweiser and Bud Ught. Although the National Football League now proudly uses the #1 3) Joe Isuzu words 'Super Bowl" to describe its title game each year, it's interesting to note that unlil the 5th Super Bowl, the NFL used a different official name ,for the game .. .Up to that time, people in the NFL didn't like the name "Super Bowl", and they used the term 'AFC-NFC World Championship Game" instead... The 5th Super Bowl, played in 1971, was the first to be offiCially called the Super Bowl. Have a great day be a good sport. Know when to say when. Ofall the men who've ever played pro football, which one has scored the most total points in a career? ..The man who holds the record is George Blanda, who, in his career, scored 2,002 pOints ... No one else, before or since, has come close to Blanda's total.
