I read both versions of An Enemy of the People at the recommendation of a friend.

I loved it. He was absolutely right about it. He wants to restage it so that it takes place in Cold War-era America to parallel the era’s suspicion with the suspicion shown to Dr. Stockmann. What a genius! I can see it. But let’s actually talk about the play’s contents and what both Ibsen and Miller saw in the story.

Dr. Stockmann has different characterizations depending on who’s writing.

Ibsen agrees with his quest for truth but makes him a bit of a self-righteous, jerkish man with a martyr complex and something of a eugenicist streak. This might be because Ibsen is self-lambasting as to how he is seen (truly or not) after Ghosts. There are also two narrative purposes here:

No matter how jerkish of a man Stockmann is, he’s still right in this case, and he doesn’t deserve the mob mentality ruining his life. He and his daughter got fired, his home has been vandalized, his sons have been driven out of school by people fighting them, and his father-in-law spited him by donating the family’s entire trust fund to the Baths! How is that just?!

No matter how right Stockmann is, we shouldn’t blindly sympathize with him; he has plenty of faults.

Miller’s Stockmann is more clearly in the right and loses the self-righteousness and eugenics (thank goodness). This might be due to the sociopolitical climate in which he adapted the play; it shares plenty of themes with his later work The Crucible and was in fact adapted as a similar social commentary. Miller couldn’t risk his message getting lost just because Stockmann was jerkish.

Speaking of this parallel, Ibsen’s Stockmann seemed very much like Proctor to me--both men are passionate about telling the truth despite great personal cost, and their passion sometimes keeps them from thinking their statements through enough, though Stockmann is more restrained. Surprisingly, Miller’s Stockmann is more restrained than Ibsen’s and does not bear as much of a similarity to Proctor. We get the passion and anger, but not to the same point of impulsivity, again to avoid losing audience sympathy.

The overhaul done to Miller’s Stockmann unfortunately means that we lose his mockery of Peter by putting on his hat and using his stick. To me, that was the funniest scene! Again, I get why the change was made, but I think Miller made Stockmann too perfect and utterly flawless. He’s a better person and more humble, but he’s not necessarily as rounded of a character.

The one upside to Miller’s overly sanitized (if you will) version of Stockmann, though, was that by the time he wrote The Crucible, he seems to have learned his lesson and lost his fear of making people turn on the message because it was coming from a jerkish protagonist. Not saying his previous protagonists weren’t messed up (look at Joe Keller and Willy Loman), but I feel like Joe and Willy were messed up so we could watch them descend from being men you could call good and suffer from their own actions. Stockmann and Proctor are supposed to fight for the truth and suffer more from the actions of others than they do from their own (I mean, even though Proctor definitely suffers from the reverberations of his own actions, he’s like Stockmann in that the audience has the sense of “come on, did it really have to go that far?”--he couldn’t have predicted just how massive the reverberations would have been).

LOL the difference between Ibsen’s elevated language and Miller’s simpler form is EVERYTHING. Shoutout to Miller for simplifying, though I read his Stockmann in a “little birthday boy” voice in my head at first.

Miller’s simplification does wonders for the third act when Kiils bought stocks in the hot springs with the Stockmanns’ trust fund and when the paper wants Stockmann back so that Kiils’ stocks can fund whatever they lose from supporting Stockmann. Stockmann’s speech about embracing his role as the enemy of the people is also far more rousing when Miller does it, though I wish he had said “the strongest man in the world is the man who stands alone” as Ibsen had him say rather than “the strong must learn to be lonely.”

MORTEN! THE POINT OF BACTERIA IS THAT YOU DON’T SEE THEM!

I got so happy when I thought the newspaper people would support Stockmann, but then they turned on him at Peter’s convincing UGH. Shoutout to Mrs. Stockmann’s continued support.

Peter was very reminiscent of Danforth in general. Ibsen had him say, "If I am concerned with protecting my reputation, it's only for the good of the town. I cannot possibly direct affairs in a manner conducive to the general welfare as I see it, unless my integrity and authority are unassailable." Also, the fact that he wanted his brother to sign a document that apologized for his “errors.” That sounds very familiar to me LOL--

Not to get all political, but Peter saying he’s fine with freedom in normal times until the current crisis supersedes it...that kinda sounds a lot like the rhetoric of some leaders we’ve had recently (particularly during COVID). Staging it during Cold War-era America would be interesting, but why not go all the way and stage it in the modern day?! (I hear one production set it in FLINT, MICHIGAN, a town that suffered lead poisoning in water. That was bold.)

Horster’s really risking himself by letting Stockmann hold his town hall there because no one else would take him.

Stockmann claiming to be the strongest for being able to stand alone? Loved that statement. Also, his earlier statement (in Ibsen’s version--I wish Miller kept this wording), "When my boys grow up to be free men, I want to be able to look them in the face!" EXUDES "I have three children. How may I teach them to walk like men in the world when I sold my friends?”

Overall, I enjoyed both versions. Miller makes it more accessible, but I liked some of Ibsen’s wordings, and I preferred his characterization of Stockmann to Miller’s. Both are worth a read.

C2 - Fall - Second Founders

Eugene and Cora became 'the Proctors' somewhere on Tuesday evening.

This home will eventually end up being Miles' because of the large greenhouse he's built on the property, but for now the Proctors have gotten the largest bedroom.

Beryl is beloved by all, truly, which led to Cora calling and adding Beryl's strange orange tabby breed to the pet breed registry. Who knows! They could become the official cat breed of Morbirhill!

AN EVENING WITH NEIL GAIMAN

I start touring 6 weeks from now. It's the first time I've done something like this since before Covid -- get out there every night, read stories and poems and suchlike, answer questions and generally try to interact with a living, breathing audience. I'm a bit nervous, to be honest. Still, the idea of interacting with living, breathing human beings seems wonderful.

Here's the list of places I'll be appearing, with links to get tickets. Right now there are tickets available to all of the venues except Madison Wisconsin. If you are sad I'm not going to be somewhere near to you, I also am probably sad about this too.

(There are different Covid regulations at different venues, please check your venue for their protocol.)

And I'll see you there, I hope...

hey! I've seen a bunch of posts on how HPSC is slightly corrupted and all, could you explain if you understand this? They're (die hard villain fans) usually using this as a justification to slam the heroes for raiding the army. I'm quite confused sorry

I’d be more than happy to, friend! I have a strong feeling it’s going to be a key detail in the story moving forward so it’s good to go back in reviewing everything we know now; plus, it gives me the perfect chance to offer up my theory that ropes in Aizawa, Midnight, and Present Mic. Buckle up, though, because this gets a little long.

The HPSC tells heroes what to do.

The Hero Public Safety Commission is a pocket of the Japanese national government in this universe, sort of like how the FDA is in America.

It’s important to note that HPSC is a separate entity from the heroes. They’re the ones giving out licenses, disciplining rouge heroes, overseeing hero training, acting as liaison between heroes and law enforcement, organizing cooperative efforts with multiple heroes across different regions, and managing the general image of heroes with events like the Hero Rankings Billboard.

Heroes have to obey directives given by the HPSC and hero schools have to align with guidelines set by the HPSC, but heroes don’t usually get a say in these decisions and often only get to complain about how things are done and are stuck doing it anyway. If someone is caught heroing without a license or not in hero uniform, you can be fined and/or jailed. If a hero doesn’t keep up with paperwork or runs off and does their own thing they can also be fined and have their license suspended. If a hero goes AWOL or completely flips out they can have their license permanently taken away and be jailed.

It’s actually even more important to note that way heroes are allowed to operate and answer to the government is actually closer in line to a militia than a police force. In fact, while heroes are allowed to make arrests and use their quirks, they are more restricted in what they can and can’t do on their own than the police. If a hero wants to work with other heroes on an investigation, they have to use the private network (administrated by the HPSC) or communicate in person. In the case with the Shie Hassaikai or looking for Kurogiri and the LoV where police cooperation was necessary to carry out the investigation and bring in the gang right away there was no choice but to be transparent with the HPSC.

However, the HPSC doesn’t have to be transparent with the heroes.

They require heroes to give up all their information to keep working as heroes, but they don’t have any accountability for themselves and have notably dodged scrutiny up to this point with public backlash almost always falling on the heroes who have little to no say in how they run things.

Starting back at the beginning of the series with the USJ incident, it understandably garnered massive media attention - it should have. Dozens of unknown, random two-bit villains poured into the most secure, prestigious hero school in all of Japan undetected and resulted in the serious injury of two teachers and could have included the students as well if All Might had not been there to fight and subdue the inhuman monster - the Nomu - who had up to that point had never been seen before.

It’s not unreasonable that UA initially got the blowback from this as it could have been chalked up to complacency causing a lapse in security that the HPSC absolutely wouldn’t have been accountable for. It’s treated like a one-off event and despite investigations going nowhere on it, it’s ultimately downplayed and checked out in the background while continuing with the Sports Festival in high spirits. However, things get worse.

After passing their semester exams the Hero Course first-years head off to do practical training in the mountains with a hero team named the Wild Wild Pussycats. Remember, because this is a hero training initiative between a school and a hero team, the HPSC is likely involved at least on some administrative level in regards to granting permission and securing the patch of mountainside to use even if this detail is not acknowledged in the series. Despite efforts to only include the staff, teachers, and heroes involved word somehow still gets out - resulting in more student, hero, and teacher injuries, and most importantly the kidnapping of one of the students.

This can no longer be swept under the rug. A lot happens in the secret hideout raid revealing lots of stuff with the plot, including All-for-One’s direct involvement, but it doesn’t add anything more to our notes besides the fact UA is once again blamed and heroes are thrown under the bus instead of the organization overseeing them.

Fast forward to the Provisional License Arc. This is the first time we see the HPSC acting explicitly. It’s noted that they passed significantly more students this year than previously. Yokumiru Mera, the tired proctor, is overworked. The HPSC has a reason to urgently pump more students into the “working force” now than it had before, though at the moment it’s written off as a result of All Might’s retirement.

During the Shie Hassaikai arc the only suspect detail we get is the fact that the raid on compound is inexplicably compromised, and somehow the yakuza knew the heroes and police were coming. We’ll come back to this and to the leaks in UA again later.

Skipping the remedial courses and school festival arc, we get to the Pro Hero Arc. Big lights, pomp and circumstance, and a massive powerful Nomu attack that nearly kills the freshly crowned #1 Hero. From this point forward, what we get of the HSPC is mainly through Hawks and his experience with him. After the fight, we get a flashback of the President of the HSPC herself telling him to ignore civilian casualties in his mission to infiltrate the LoV, that he has to do it solo, and that he can’t tell anyone. Briefly in the next chapter he says that despite his objections he can’t actually tell them no.

Hold up!

Did a government agency just tell a hero to secretly get in with the villains no matter what, and when he objects and asks whether he’s just supposed to ignore collateral damage in the process is told, “You can and you will”?! (That’s a verbatim quote from chapter 192.) I thought this agency was supposed to hep people and keep them safe!

We get smatterings of interactions between Hawks and the HPSC, and though we don’t get anything from there side we’re getting that every questionable or deplorable thing Hawks does or needs to get on the LoV’s good side is acknowledged and endorsed by the HPSC. “I’m in contact with the shady guy who loosed that monster in the middle of the city with no warning. He wants me to kill the other top hero who just recovered and to join the definitely-dangerous doomsday cult, and maybe THEN he’ll let me in on what’s going on.” Ok, sure. Nothing morally questionable about any of that...

Jump to chapter 267. Up to this point, this note about Hawks’ past has been hinted at, but is here finally confirmed with a chilling detail. Kids who enter hero work may get special coaching by their families when they’re young, but the threshold for entering formal government-regulated training isn’t until 14/15 years of age in the last few years of their education. Chapter 267 shows a little Keigo Takami no older than about 8, at best, being told by the HPSC that he doesn’t get to call himself by his own name anymore. From now on, he’s going to be a hero, and only a hero, and it’s going to long and hard. Back in 192, two mysterious figures promise the same boy, shown at the same age, that his family will be taken care of.

Whatever circumstances led Keigo’s family to end up in the situation they did, they accepted an offer from a government agency, the HPSC specifically - you can see their headquarters in the flashback - to take away their very young son, take away his identity (and implicitly his family), and groom him to be government tool for the rest of his life - a commitment he had no true say in and that he could not understand at the time.

And it gets worse.

Endeavor works with the HPSC regularly as all heroes have to, but his relationship with them and what they’ll let him get away with gets put into greater question the longer we look at it. He turned to eugenics to create a hero he couldn’t be and surpass All Might for the sole purpose of satisfying his own ego. He bought a girl from her family and forced her to have his kids, then subjected those kids to cruel training - passing over each one until he got to one he felt he could work with -, beat his wife as well, and some kind of action he was involved in lead to the death of his oldest son. While the domestic abuse could be hidden, the death of his child cannot. What’s more, shortly after (very shortly if timelines add up), his youngest son received a permanent burn scar on the heat-resistant side of his face and his wife was locked away in a mental institution for a decade.

And the HPSC never bats an eye. They could take away his license. They could call the police. They could have exposed him to the public or at least ordered an investigation. But they didn’t. On some level they knew, and they did nothing.

But it might be even worse.

I skipped over this detail chronologically, but it’s the linchpin for just how corrupt the HPSC might be if all this lines up. Looking at the Endeavor Agency Arc, we get a seemingly random confrontation with a guy called Starservant (chapter 243) who prattles off a prophecy about the Dark Lord returning and his Dark Stars conspiring against humanity which will bring the world to ruin. He calls out Endeavor specifically as the shining light that beckons the darkness, but this sounds an awful lot like the deranged wailing of some crazy old man, right?

Let’s jump over an entire series now to the spin-off serial Vigilantes. This series takes place in the same universe at an earlier point in the timeline of the main story - and take an extra little note that there’s an underlying subplot about unusual drugs meant to enhance quirks (that often result in mutating the user) and that someone may be using them to clandestinely run experiments on humans from the shadows.

In chapter 59 we get flashbacked to Eraserhead, Midnight, and Present Mic’s childhood experiences at UA, and we’re also introduced to Oboro Shirakumo - their fellow classmate and dear friend. We get a few chapters establishing their relationships and their goals and dream for the future until chapter 63 where things make a drastic turn in tone. On what should be a routine hero training exercise as third-year seniors a giant, monstrous villain shows up and attacks while the UA kids are escorting a class of preschoolers around town.

In the scuffle, though Aizawa is able to single-handedly come out victorious, in the fight and debris Shirakumo is struck in the head by falling concrete as he tries to lead the children to safety and dies on the scene. Go back to main series, chapter 254-255, the villain Kurogiri is detained but the police are having no luck questioning him. They get a sliver of a lead and call in Present Mic and Eraserhead to interrogate him, and it’s confirmed that Kurogiri was a human experiment of Doctor Ujiko - the mad scientist bio-engineer responsible for the Nomu and outspokenly faithful servant of All-for-One - created from the corpse of their dearly departed Oboro.

Here’s the kicker, though, in Japan they don’t often bury their dead. Funerals next to never include an open casket - the loved one is cremated first, their ashes placed on an funeral shrine with their picture, and the loved ones mourn there. That means Ujiko needed to get to the body before it was cremated - which requires some fast work; but that’s not even the worst of it. Jumping one last time to chapter 270, Ujiko recognizes Mic as a friend of Shirakumo and boldly admits the entire time he was after Aizawa for his quirk.

That attack more than 10 years ago was premeditated. This goes back a long ways. How did he find this information - about their quirks and their movements and where to find them? How did Ujiko get the body out of the morgue without anyone catching him? Could it be the same way his fellow servants of All-for-One were able to get into the USJ? And the Training Camp? And the Yakuza raid? All-for-One has a lot of connections for his faithful servants to move about freely in this world of heroes despite every effort being take to stop them.

Somehow, these shining lights can never seem to outrun the dark no matter how hard they try, as if there’s a conspiracy against them. But a conspiracy of that level would have to come all the way from the top! If you wanted to get poetic about it, you could even say the stars themselves are conspiring against us. But that old man was crazy, right? If he wasn’t crazy - if he was right at all - then no matter what way you slice it:

This is bad.

Women and Oregon breweries, a post-1984 list.

When I heard there was no list of women who owned or co-owned breweries in Oregon I knew I had to make it right.

I pulled together a list of women listed as owners (and a handful of brewers) using the information in Oregon Brew Tour (2011), Oregon Breweries (2014), on Jeff Alworth’s blog, the breweries identified on the Oregon Brewers Guild site, and a Google Maps search combined with the info in the Oregon State Business Registry Database.

Note: Some of the women included in this post include women who are listed as owners / co-owners in the forms filed and uploaded to the State Business Registry Database. I’m not sure how involved they are in day-to-day operations.

I'll be filling in gaps as I do more research, but email me at [email protected] to add names and make my job easier!

Note: people leave jobs and businesses close, and I have not noted that here. This is more a tally of “all time” rather than a current list.

June 10, 2021: I had what felt like a brilliant, though tedious, idea to search the State Business Registry Database for “brew*” (wildcard at the end of that search word because librarians roll like that), but after spending way too much time opening a lot of business records looking for female owner / co-owners I scrolled to the bottom to see how large my task was, only to find that the site would only display the first 1000 names. It stopped at Heater Allen. 🙄I’ve added what I found here, but note that some may have been registered and never opened.

I’ve done many, many, many interviews with women related to brewing in Oregon (many brewers who could be added to this list). You can find those on the guide to OHBA collections.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 UPDATE:

I got a question that asked: “Do you have a sense of what overall percentage that reflects?” The short version of the long answer is that it’s really hard to find out.

Learn more about how to research the industry on the Beer Research Guide.

What’s below still gives some data edges.

TOTALS: According to the Brewers Association:

In 2020, there were 312 breweries in Oregon

In 2019, there were 311 breweries

In 2017, there were 266 breweries

In 2015, there were 215 breweries

In 2013, there were 181 breweries

In 2011, there were 124 breweries

According to portlandbeer.org (a now defunct new blog), in 2007, there were 64 brewing companies operating 90 brewing facilities (so lots of McMenamins and other breweries with multiple locations).

CLOSURES

In 2020, 21 breweries / taprooms closed (New School Beer)

In 2019, 18 closed (New School Beer)

In 2017, 24 opened (Portland Business Journal) and 10 closed (New School Beer)

And it seems there was an average of 7-ish closing each year before that (Register Guard)

Another list that includes numbers on closures (ratebeer.com).

I have found state guidebooks (which are immediately out of date, so immediately “historical” useful in this search. They are listed on the Oregon Hops and Brewing Archives guide.
