What does a teaching hospital offer that other hospitals don’t? A never-ending supply of the latest medical knowledge.
Making medical breakthroughs is just part of our culture. As a teaching hospital, our ongoing search for answers results in new cures and treatments, attracts medicine’s finest, and ultimately provides our patients with better outcomes. So when you think about hospitals, think of the hospital that’s always learning more.

EYE ON THE PRIZE
As the current steward of the former Payson now niversity of New England Art Gallery, I read your May 1 story of oan Whitney Payson’s collection of art, Good Eye, with the greatest interest. ardly a day goes by that a visitor to the gallery doesn’t remark about his her memories of the good old days when van Gogh’s Irises used to hang right here I have even encountered one old gent who told me he once collected a flake of the Irises paint, and he still has it, he assured me some place. But to me, the most fascinating part of the story is what happens to collections and great works of art after the original collector is gone. Some of the Payson works were given to museums, others to children with different personalities and different needs. In the case of the oan Whitney Payson Collection that her son ohn inherited, first the Irises was sold at Sotheby’s, then the collection was transferred to Portland Museum of Art. Now it has been split again, with some works remaining at PMA and some returned to ohn. Will Sotheby’s be in the picture again? Anne B. ill, director, niversity of ew England Art Gallery, Portland our story about oan Payson was very, very interesting and a real contribution to the legacy of Portland Maga ine Kenneth M. elson, president elson & Small, Portland By the way, readers can come face to face with Au apin Agile through August at the Picasso Show at the Metropolitan Museum in ew ork.

TEA FOR ONE When the ‘one’ we’re talking about is First Lady Michelle Obama, people get interested pretty quickly. “She saw my cherry blossom collection in Tiny Jewel Box, a store in D.C.,” says Portland decoupage artist Scott Potter. This led to a commission for Potter to “create something from what she likes–flowers, gardening, honeybees–so I came up with [pen trays].” The best news: Potter’s objets d’art are being handed out as protocol “gifts for heads of state all around the world.”

Just opened, Bayside’s newest live-entertainment music venue guarantees zesty victuals and great mixing action. baysidebowl.com

Fifteen two-inch chilies are used to heat up a three-gallon batch of Sonny's chili-infused tequila. "It’s very pointed; you wouldn't want to do shots of it, but it’s great in a margarita," says Spencer Albee, bartender at Sonny's restaurant on upper Exchange Street. Chilies too hot? Try chipotle vodka instead. "We also have a pineapple-orange-infused vodka and a cucumber vodka–which is extra good in a Bloody Mary." All alcohol infusions are concocted on-site in small batches by the restaurant's bar manager, J.C. Berrault.

YEAR WITHOUT A
SUMMER
When a European wag quipped recently that it was too bad the volcanic ash from Iceland was “blowing the wrong way,” we had to wonder, was he implying the right way was over Canada and the U.S.? What he probably didn’t know was that volcanic ash from an eruption on Indonesia’s Mount Tambora did come our way in 1816, creating the famous ‘Year Without a Summer.’ Snow drifts in the Old Port were measured at one foot in June.

What good is sitting alone in your room? Broadway star Liza Minnelli opens Portland Ovations’s smashing 2010-11 season at Merrill Auditorium September 29. portlandovations.com What’s new is ‘new’ again. We can’t help but notice the uncanny similarity between the modern art project with South Portland’s oil tanks (Fig. 1) that everyone’s so gaga about here and World War I’s dazzle camouflage (Fig. 2), where cubist zigzags, darts, and rays were painted on ships to make them so shockingly visible to enemy submarines that the ships (for all intents and purposes) disappeared into a series of unintelligible vanishing points. For a mindblowing modern show of early 20th-century dazzle camouflage, head to Rhode Island School of Design to see the collection of Maurice L. Freedman.

GIANT SHRIMP SHRIMP IMP CATCH CATC CA ATCH They’re fresh, they’re huge, they’re shrimp–in record numbers this year!

Congrats to illustrator Chris Van Dusen, whose Circus Ship will delight kindergartners from Kittery to Caribou after distribution by Maine Reads. The book is based on the real-life saga of the sidewheeler Royal Tar, which caught fire in 1836 off Fox Island in Penobscot Bay with Mogul the elephant, two lions, a leopard, a Bengal tiger, six Arabian horses, monkeys, reptiles, and over 100 human passengers bound from New Brunswick to Portland onboard.

Here’s a snort of equine history as you tool down Foreside Road this summer: Shut Out, 1942 Local resident Joan Whitney Payson (1904-1975) raised two Kentucky Derby winners, one Preakness winner, and four Belmont winners! Her sure bets (you can’t beat a dead horse) for the Belmont were Twenty Grand, 1931; Shut Out, 1942; Capot, 1949; and Stage Door Johnny, 1968.

And there it is BAM the reali ation that the very word Ca un derives from Acadian, as in the 1 th-century rench colonists romantici ed in ongfellow’s epic poem, Evangeline, who were forced by the British to leave this neck of the woods as e iles during Le Grand rangement.

he was one of us!
Twenty-one-year-old executive chef Emeril Lagasse with his staff at Sherarton Inn’s Seasons restaurant in South Portland, 1980.
hen he said, ‘BAM!‘ I said, ‘Oh, God! That’s Emeril!’” laughs Fern Genest, 76, remembering the first time she saw Emeril John Lagasse III on television. “It was his mannerisms in the kitchen. Something was always going on.” He was no longer the slim 21-year-old who came into her employ by landing a job at a hotel near the Portland Jetport, back when he was beneath the radar of celebrity and far from the glaring spotlight of fame–back when he was one of us. He was now Emeril®. “I inherited him when [Dunfey Hotels] sent Emeril to us in late 1980. He had been sous chef at the Parker House in Boston,” says Genest, former general manager of the South Portland Sheraton Inn (currently Wyndham Portland Airport Hotel). “[His arrival] didn’t get nearly the fanfare he deserved. He came when we changed the restaurant to Seasons– he was part of that change. The menu had a lot of seafood creations, and in Maine, people expected heavy seafood.” The May 1981 issue of Business Digest chimed in with stock hyperbole: “The restaurant and lounge have a new look, new menu, and new name…new executive chef Emeril Lagasse has created a menu of traditional cuisine with seasonal specialties…Seasons, which will reflect the seasons of New England, will be a hit here.” “He was very low key, very serious about cooking, but fun–he liked to joke around. The staff loved him.” Approaching the kitchen, “I’d always hear all this noise–and then I’d walk in and it was like, ‘Mom’s home!’ It would go quiet; everything stopped.” Genest also saw Emeril’s innovations raise the culinary experience at the Sheraton in the finest details. “It was his idea to take color pictures of the [finished] dishes and hang them in the kitchen so everyone knew what they needed to look like. If every [detail] didn’t look like the picture, it wasn’t done correctly–it was wrong, and they needed to do it again.” “It was his first executive chef position. He was very creative but limited by corporate structure–I call it corporate interference. Everything he suggested had to be approved through our food-and-beverage guidelines. I don’t think he had a lot of control.” With his wife, Elizabeth, Emeril began raising his family in Portland. Genest remembers, “He went on about his new baby girl! But, he was serious about his job, putting in long hours–he was there all the time.” After her transfer, Genest tried to contact her talented chef and was told, “He’s left and gone to work for Prudhomme [at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans].” Years later, Genest’s daughter Denise, who’d also known Lagasse, insisted her mother watch a new cooking show. “I said, ‘I’ll be damned, there he is!’ It’s my granddaughter’s favorite show!” “He was a pistol! I was amazed but not surprised [he became famous]–he had that ‘go for it.’ It was the passion he had for cooking,” Genest says with an almost maternal pride. “I am very proud of him, but he’s put on too much weight. Naughty, naughty.”
Emeril’s Shrimp & Grits blends the familiar with the sublime.
Maine Mall in South Portland, Emeril channels New England whenever he cooks his favorite variation on Maine lobster, deftly mingling it with Cajun flair and another richly flavored tale of immigration from our shores. As he tells us: Although my father’s heritage is rench-Canadian , Piri Piri Pasta’s a dish I created in honor of my mom, ilda, who is a great cook. She was the first person to show me how to cook at a young age. She grew up in a Portuguese family and loves the spicy piri piri sauce. his dish was created for my restaurant We use live Maine lobster and make our own fresh pasta talk about a marriage made in heaven

As Prudhomme the man who invented pan-blackening tells me this, he is holding court on Chartres Street at -Paul when coincidentally a couple from uebec walks in and tries to catch his eye. Prudhomme tosses a uick glance my way and grins, because everyone this side of Bourbon Street knows it’s a reenactment of the original flight of the rench from northern

I think food is passed on to every generation, and that s how it should be. Asked for ghost Acadian ingredients in his Cajun cuisine, Prudhomme laughs. Ain’t no cuisine’ here we serve food Good food It’s always evolving. here’s a sly smile. I’m a Cajun, and we know we’re not food. My food is Louisiana food. It’s the best food in the world. Nothing is essential. We got a lot of dirt here, man, and at least ten months to grow in it. We always have something to cook.

What defines the difference is what we call down here the oly rinity’: green bell peppers, onions, and celery. hese are the standard in every Cajun dish. Also, you have potatoes up north and we have rice fields. As for the oly rinity, we couldn’t help but notice if you substitute carrots for the peppers, you have a classic rench mirepoi , which is used widely across Maine as the base for soups and stocks. Chicken fricassee and chicken etouffee, Ruoss ventures as a perfect e ample of the dishes evolved and shared between the two cultures. hey’re the same thing Smothered chicken, and they’re both yummy. So is there really a difference? Aside from the spicy factor, if ouisiana had potatoes instead of rice and no bell peppers, it’s a fair assumption that the food would not be very different.

PREVIEWS The actress who voiced Pocahontas is out to rescue Native Americana from Hollywood’s cliches by putting the story of Maine’s iconic, silent-film star–who danced for royalty and took Paris by fire–up on the silver screen.

he voice of isney’s Pocahontas is seductive and smooth as she speaks on the telephone e actly the impression actress rene edard doesn’t want to convey, because even our politically-correct-obsessed 1st century dismisses Native Americans by over-romantici ing them. Bedard, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Indian Island’s princess Molly S otted lk born Mary Alice Nelson , dreams of producing a movie about the raven-haired beauty. he 1 s Penobscot actress, dancer, musician, poet, and nightclub siren performed in Broadway venues, danced for European royalty, and lived the life of a glamorous e -pat in Paris until forced to flee during World War II. It’s a story full of irony and wistfulness that Bedard first became aware of over a decade ago when she read the actress’s biography, Molly Spotted Elk: A Penobscot in Paris, by Bunny McBride, a Pulit er Pri e-nominated writer who spends summers in Bar arbor researching and working with the Abbe Museum. he book vividly recounts the story of Maine’s Penobscot Nation and its famous daughter.
But can a film project about a gorgeous Native American starlet the first, Bedard points out, who unabashedly shimmered on screen avoid stereotypes? Bedard knows about these dangers too well. She’s got Maine roots her mother was an Inupiat Eskimo and her father a rench Canadian Cree from Skowhegan , and she, too, has struggled as an actress to find the courage to rise above e ploitation, even from well-meaning production companies. It’s so funny, says Bedard, , of the isney role that made her a household voice to little girls across the globe. Pocahontas was only eleven and a half when she met ohn Smith, and twelve when she threw herself over him to save him. So why did a politically aware woman of twenty-seven agree to play the part? Growing up, I loved isney on Sunday nights. ou’d see the castle and inkerbell going across the screen. I knew being part of something like that could be something your grandchildren will see. isney or not, it was still an emotional deci-

PREVIEWS sion. She grew up hearing the word Pocahontas used pejoratively. o me, the one thing that stuck in my mind was having been called Pocahontas’ in a derogatory way. As in, Nice parallel parking, Pocahontas.’ Besides, this serious actress had already e perienced the indignation of having her character role neatly wrapped in a pretty little package in the isney live-action film S uanto: A Warrior s Tale. My first line in the movie is, Was there good hunting, S uanto?’ A stereotypical line. e’d ust come back from the ocean and had been gone for weeks on a hunt. Men don’t survive from this here was this huge relief and celebration, and the very first thing she says is, S uanto, was there good hunting?’ I fought the battle, and I lost the battle to a certain point. What I did was, knowing it was a isney movie, I ran up to him and said the same words in a different way. Bedard’s intentional change of tone from innocent and earnest to suggestive and couettish made her point, and then it went straight to the cutting-room floor. er dialogue was edited to a single word: S uanto But I accomplished my goal in sort of a sideways way. I learned I not only had to stand up for the personal directives of my character but also the cultural perspectives of my character. he best way was not to say, No, this doesn’t work.’ It was, et me show you, let me teach you, here’s an alternative.’ On the set of Lakota Woman, knowing Bedard was wrestling with the guilt and wonder of taking on the Pocahontas gig, the famous Native American actress antoo Cardinal saw me thinking about it and said, Irene, I know you. ou’re strong and a native woman. I know you will fight every battle that needs to be fought. ou are the right person for this job. Take it.’ It was another manifest destiny’ part. I’d just done S uanto, one of the manifest destiny characters, and now it’s Pocahontas a manifest destiny character written into a history by the victors portraying Indians as those who helped and pushed along the prevailing society. I went down and met with isney . Which brings us, after many ambitious roles and hunts for edgy, modern parts for Native American actresses, to Bedard’s dream of chasing Molly Spotted Elk and her legend to make a movie that will make a difference, that will not re uire compromised truth. I have started Bundle of Arrows production company. Our first projects are a couple of
contemporary projects with full native cast and crew, but Molly Spotted Elk is something I’ve had in mind for so long. I’d like to work with a rench production entity or director so we can shoot in Paris. er story is epic in scale, so I need a director who can do it. Because Molly Spotted Elk was a gifted poet and what the Penobscots call one of the hard ones that is, endowed with spiritual powers , Bedard envisions mystical interior monologue to accompany Molly’s deep story arc. She’s coming from this small place and
Narrow Thinking Irene Bedard recently appeared on Turner Classic Movies to discuss the ways Hollywood has done violence to the truth in terms of portraying Native Americans. A scalding example, the segment shows, is Northwest Passage, by Kenneth Roberts, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who was born in Maine. Just watch the attack on St. Francis with today’s eyes, and you see it not so much as an act of retribution but a celebration of mass murder. Does Bedard think that in the 1930s, Roberts had artistic responsibilities to see more than one side of this event, or was he a product of his times? “As a Native American, when you’re growing up with those depictions, it’s also very confusing! You find yourself thinking, ‘Oh, they should have done that,’ and then you find yourself realizing, ‘Oh, wait a minute!’” going to New ork City and trying to fit into the prevalent society and reali ing she’s not going to be able to take what’s truly at her heart her cultural beauty with her, because there was no place for it to shine. Molly’s search for cultural acceptance eventually draws her to Paris, where like osephine Baker she found appreciation for her caramel skin and unusual cultural heritage. It was go to Paris, go to what’s close to your heart, you know, make this trek across the ocean to be this really e otic human being who doesn’t speak their language, yet in daring to do this she finds a way to become herself with her particular artistic beauty and really grow and become a beautiful, shining thing. Molly was happy in rance, where she met
and eventually married rench political journalist ean Archambaud. hey had a daughter, ean. When World War II hit rance, Molly and her daughter had to flee across the Pyrenees without her husband a known anti-Na i activist , who was directing the Red Cross Relief efforts near Bordeau . Molly never saw or heard from him again. It was a turning point in Molly’s life. She went through a real dark period and was institutionali ed for a time. hen she went to New ork, but her soul was damaged I think going back to Indian Island in Maine and discovering her poetry and dance and basket weaving and the creativity I think that idea, of walking in beauty, was her triumph in life. She learned how to find beauty on her own terms. Asked which scenes she’s itching to shoot first, Bedard says immediately, I think of her being in the chorus line in vaudeville, where there’s this line of women and they move at the same time, wear the same clothes, and yet there’s something so different, so out-of-thisworld, about her. When she fought to say, ey, I want to perform traditional dances,’ they put her in a short outfit with a feather on her head. It was such a stereotype in the shape of se ual dismissal and spiritually where she wasn’t coming from. As for how Bedard will avoid caricature within the Molly project, she’s going to visit Maine e tensively to better understand Molly’s haunts here. Oh, yes. efinitely. My father actually was from Skowhegan, so I have family in Maine that I visit in fact, I’ll be there this summer. Because she understands the importance of getting things right, Bedard is willing to take her time with this project. I’m just one woman, doing the work I can do. I don’t speak for all Native Americans because no one can. I try my best to be honest and truthful My whole concept is to bring us into contemporary society. We’ve done the historical stories now it’s time to be romantic, comedic, and contemporary, and a lot of Molly’s life resonates with this . What might Molly tell Bedard, her fellow actor, from across the years once filming begins? She’d tell me that loving her daughter, and the love she had for her husband, was the most important work of her life. he love of her people. or her, it’s all about finding your true heart through love and beauty. ■

Doing Lunch With F. Lee Bailey I N T E R V I E W BY M I C H E L L E S U S A N T W O M E Y
You seem pretty comfortable here [at Royal River Grillhouse in Yarmouth, with views of the Royal River]. When was your first trip to Maine?
I would have trouble testifying to that because I was about si months old or younger. But I can remember being here when I was three in the summer of 1 . My grandfather owned a modest home on Princess Point in armouth. I learned to swim here in 55-degree water. In fact, I once swam to Cousins Island from Princess Point, a big feat back then. For a Google Earth graphic of Bailey s swim, visit portlandmonthly.com swim. Your 15 minutes of Maine?
When I was eight, I strapped a bunch of pine logs together and built my first boat.’ I remember being out on the water with a pole. Not long after that, I began building boats. How many boats have you worked on?
I used to own a good chunk of ChrisCraft, so that would drive the number way up. But over the years, I’ve built five or si from scratch or rehabilitated to new. Do you own a house in Maine right now?

At least two sides would be on the water, with plenty of glass and something that looked like a control tow-
er on the top that I could use as a study and see in all directions. I’d have a heliport adjacent to the house with a hangar so I could slide my helicopter in when I’m not using it so it wouldn’t be far away. Yes, people associate you with helicopters almost as readily as they do clients such as Patty Hearst, O.J. Simpson, Lt. William Calley, and the Boston Strangler. How did the whole flying thing get started?
he first time I ever flew in my life was in Maine, when I was 1 . I got a ride for seven dollars in ork on the fourth of uly. My ne t flight was on Eastern Airlines to go to Naval flight training in Pensacola. I was 1 then. he draft board was not pleased with my record at arvard and threatened to induct me into the Army. o escape that, I joined the Navy and got into flight school. Regarding helicopters, I fly them and have built 5 of them. hey’re more fun than airplanes, which are sometimes fun but business tools to me.

LOOKING IN uhrman after the trial was over, and I wrote most of it on the coast of Maine. I think it’s a very good place to write. I know Stephen ing would agree. It’s a rough, sometimes brutal, but ultimately charming environment. I’m not a fan of the interior. If there’s not some salt water within distance, that’s not really Maine to me. I insist on the coast. Surely people must ask you to discuss similarities you may or may not share with William Shatner’s character in Boston Legal.

I’m not a big drinker of vodka, but I have two connections with them. When I organi ed an 5th birthday party for one of my dear friends, a very famous pilot named Bob oover, I got Cold River to bottle up a couple of cases more like si of vodka, and I had the bottles engraved with his likeness for a commemorative gift. And for my 5th birthday, im orowit of O ford Aviation did the same for me. So, I have a very nice bo made of teak and other woods that had in it a do en bottles of Cold River with my likeness on it.

I’ve thought about it. I’m not really terribly motivated. What I want to do doesn’t involve a license. What I want to do is to make litigation services available to people who can’t afford it, which is about 5 percent of the people in Maine. And I’m talking civil cases, strictly. I’ve spent the last ten years in mediation, consulting, and dispute resolution, and I

think I’ve found ways to structure a contract so that the resolution is built right in. It’s simple. It’s ine pensive. It’s immediate. So the contract doesn’t get interrupted while a bunch of lawyers try to figure out what to do to interrupt it further. A lot of people could use this. Maine is certainly on its backside with unemployment, having trouble being pictured as being industry-friendly. It’s often compared to New ampshire ne t door, which seems paradise by comparison in terms of ta structure. here are reasons the two shouldn’t be compared. But when people do come to Maine, if they could be assured of getting their jobs done without being interrupted or bogged down with totally destructive legal costs, I think they’d find the state more palatable. How could you pull this off?
It doesn’t take any action by anybody. It just takes a bunch of good retired judges to act as mediators, and people willing to agree that whatever the judge says is final that’s it, no appeals. In Russia, I found to my surprise that if one of the parties breaches the contract, that party has to finish the contract and then sue. ou cannot interrupt a work in progress. We’d walked off a job in protest that the guy who hired us was changing the rules. Even though it cost us heavily, I think that’s a good idea. on’t interrupt the project get your dispute on the table and have somebody decide the legal issue concurrently before it grows any bigger. hat is the result of fifty-odd years of watching people litigate with one another. Nobody’s ever happy.

Some of Maine’s vintners make the so-called fruit wines with fruits other than grapes mainly blueberries, apples, cranberries, raspberries, and pears. Some make wine from grapes or grape juice brought in from out of state. And uite a few, especially the newcomers, are growing their own grapes, something many people believed could not be done in Maine. Several are e perimenting with growing and fermenting techni ues and with new, especially hardy types of grapes designed to survive the state’s cold climate. Many of these varieties are hybrids created by university scientists and did not e ist as recently as five years ago. he results, the new vintners say, are promising.

But we can make really good regional wines satisfying, aromatically comple wines that will go nicely with local food. hese wines have tastes that may surprise many wine drinkers. Most are uite different from the standard vinifera wine grapes such as chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, and pinot noir . he fruit wines and wines made from grapes grown in Maine have flavors that reflect the state’s uni ue terroir its glacial soils and foggy coast as well as the vintner’s individual style. It could be said that these wines are an ac uired taste. In general, they are young, light- to-medium-bodied, and tend to be semi-dry. hey may never have great depth or comple ity. Many are most successful as aperitif or dessert wines. But they are different, often interesting, and getting better all the time. It is now perfectly possible to be a locaswiller one who drinks only local wines and have a swillingly good time.

to it, the more it appealed. Bartlett took winemaking courses at several universities and tried for eight years to grow some of the standard vinifera varieties. But it takes three to five years for these vines to produce wineuality grapes, and Maine winters were too long and too cold. So he turned to other fruits, such as blueberries, pears, apples, raspberries, blackberries, and peaches. After years working with these fruits, he considers the results very rewarding. e continues, o think that all wine has to be made from grapes, that that is the only real wine,’ is baloney. he fruit wines are like another cuisine. ou wouldn’t say that all cheese can only be made from cow’s milk.

Now she, along with winemaker Aaron Peet and a staff of about 1 year-round employees, is producing , cases of more than a do en different wines a year. Currently, Cellardoor like many Maine wineries is in transition. oulton began making wines from the grapes and juice she inherited from the prior owner.

The mural was rescued and moved to historic Deerfield, Massachusetts.
By the early 1 th century, several important houses in Maine boasted scenic papers, most manufactured by either ufour or uber, the premier rench wallpaper companies of the time. Although the greatest concentration of these houses was in southern Maine near urban centers, e amples appeared throughout the state. In ennebunk, Wallingford all featured a version of uber’s Bay of Naples paper.

Since the first cave paintings at Lascaux, man has decorated his walls. The Chinese, having invented paper in 104 AD, were the first to embellish and glue it to walls, and it was not too long until trade brought painted wallpaper to Europe. In France in 1481, Jean Bourdichon was commissioned to paint 50 rolls of paper for King Louis XI, portable decoration the king could take with him from castle to castle. By 1675, French engraver Jean-Michel Papillon was making papers in matched designs from printing blocks on small squares of paper, the result of which was modern wallpaper. A little over a century later, elaborate panoramic wallpapers of contiguous scenes were being manufactured by two French companies: Joseph Dufour & Cie, and Jean Zuber & Cie, both founded in 1797. The papers they manufactured were labor-intensive and costly to produce, each requiring as many as 30 panels and 5,000 hand-carved wood blocks. Printed without selvage, each panel matched and abutted the next. Backgrounds were hand-brushed and then overprinted with the blocks to create scenes. Colors were painstakingly mixed by hand. The completed papers were designed so separate scenes could be used on their own or as parts of a continuous panorama. An example is Zuber’s famous “Views of North America,” featuring single scenes, such as Boston Harbor and Virginia’s Natural Bridge, that could be presented as one continuous narrative of America’s breathtaking idylls–the wonders of the newly independent country encapsulated in 75 feet. The papers, done in the neoclassical style (based on ancient classical motifs and very popular in Europe through the late 18th century), were highly sought in the fashion-thirsty United States. By 1800, hardly a town in the U.S. did not boast a few handsome examples of this new taste in architecture. Scenic papers were ideal as decoration and status symbol, perfect counterpoint to the graceful proportions of the rooms in which they were hung.

these early papers survive in situ today. he Williams house was eventually torn down for the construction of a traffic rotary, and the ufour wallpaper was purchased for display at Old eerfield illage Museum in eerfield, Massachusetts. By the middle of the 1 th century, scenic papers had fallen out of fashion in favor of the more florid taste of the ictorian era. Renewed appreciation in the early th century for the styles of America’s past brought with it another wave of demand for the papers however, not enough anti ue e amples were available to satisfy the demand. ufour had since dispersed their printing blocks, but uber sei ed the opportunity, dusted off its old blocks, and again began to manufacture their famous scenic papers.

But for adrenaline junkies, Maine cliffs offer a chance to test personal limits by scrambling up the sides of tucked-away crags across the state. here’s always a new challenge around the corner, says intermediate climber ave riggiani of Portland. ou think you’ve got it mastered, but then another cliff or turn comes around, one like you’ve never encountered, and you have to figure out that one it’s a never-ending learning process. Acadia National Park is the obvious destination for climbers, with its sweeping views of the ocean and opportunities for traditional climbing. raditional climbing means there are no pre-set bolts in the rock to attach ropes to, so there is more strategy and slightly more danger involved. In contrast, sport climbing already has the bolts in place, allowing the climber a faster, harder, more athletic ascent. he information we have comes from registration bo es, which are not completely reliable it may be central to the climber psyche not to register , but we have about , to ,5 registered day climbers per year, says Charlie acoby, a natural resource specialist at Acadia.

Does the thought of scaling a 500-foot wall of rock make your knees quake? Why not start with something smaller, and indoors, instead? Rock climbing can be a dangerous sport and requires extensive knowledge of technique and equipment; moving outdoors before you are ready is a recipe for a disaster of monumental proportions. Beginning to build your climbing prowess indoors is the best and safest way to progress into a full-fledged chalkmonkey capable of scaling such giants as Yosemite’s “El Cap.” “You can start outdoors, but you need to have a registered guide,” says Keith Morris of Maine Rock Gym in Portland. “There’s a correct way to do things, and a place like [Maine Rock Gym] has everything set up. We help people progress through learning to climb, training for outdoor climbs, and the complicated stuff like tying knots and setting anchors. It would be very embarrassing to find yourself outside, halfway up a climb, and decide you don’t like it.” Beginning inside allows fledgling climbers the opportunity to follow the red, blue, or yellow hand holds up the wall and learn how to properly set and use their gear, tie knots, and climb.

include Precipice and Great ead. Nineyear veteran climber Chris Cook, 5, of Portland, says Great ead is his favorite because it has the best rock uality, incredible vistas, and the steepest climb. Acadia isn’t the only place in Maine for a good climb. Shagg Pond in Woodstock is a secluded spot re uiring a 5-minute hike from the main road. ere, climbers have the opportunity to test their technical abilities on an overhanging, granite cliff at the edge of the pond. Because of its off-the-beaten-path location, the climbers who come here are hard-core. Cook, who’s climbed well-known cliffs in Colorado and hailand, thinks climbers from Maine are a special breed. he difference from Maine and other more famous’ places is that here you must be truly dedicated there’s less good- uality rock, you have to travel greater distances, there are black flies, and it can be very cold. ocal climbers here are the real deal. Black flies and free ing temps aside, there are genuine dangers, and one misstep can prove fatal. I still remember the time friends and I were climbing in Rumney in New ampshire, and overnight there was this huge rock fall. It’s a sight like I’d never seen before trees were snapped like toothpicks. It was shocking to see an e foliation that big. It’s a little scary to think about what could have happened had the timing been different So why continue to play Spiderman? he reward comes from the mental challenge. ou put yourself in a terrifying position, your mind shuts down from the fear, but if you don’t want to get hurt, you’ve got to take control and make your mind work with your body. It’s not a skill learned overnight, but when it does finally happen, it’s a huge high. he almost philosophical aspect of climbing is, the rock cannot be changed you must adapt yourself to the rock. here’s a life lesson here. Many rock climbers will tell you the mental toughness honed by the sport carries over into their everyday lives. As Cook puts it, o be successful you have to break it down, stay dedicated, link it all together, keep at it. ou think it’s going to be impossible, that you’ll never be able to coordinate all those ropes and other contraptions. But little by little, you start to get it, and before you know it, it’s, Wow, I just did that.’ ■

A contemporary of ohn Calvin Stevens, Antoine orticos also worked with rancis assett. orticos’s family clearly loved the cottage on Great Chebeague Island he designed for them in the early 1 s. Generations of his family returned each summer until it was sold just last year. Son of a wealthy Cuban planter with business interests in Portland, orticos arrived to study at Westbrook Seminary in 1 . e fell in love with a Maine girl, married her, and stayed. Employed primarily as a rench teacher at Portland igh School, his talent and interest in architecture soon turned the Maine coast into his canvas. he Chebeague cottage is a simple gable form with an arched, recessed front entrance. he gable roof form is broken only with a single dustpan dormer. A spacious porch overlooking the water is included under the roof form. In his part-time career as an architect, he designed over twenty shingle-style cottages on the Casco Bay islands. is life came to a tragic end when, at 5 , he shot himself in public on ederal Street it’s suspected he suffered from overwork and depression. he last decade has seen a growing importance placed on environmentally-friendly, family-focused, and budget-conscious design.

Great care was taken in the use of the recycled materials to create no waste. Passive solar and a heavily insulated envelope promote energy efficiency.

Phil says he took some chances with the design that he would not take for a client.

ing, dining, and cooking, and two bedrooms. Carol’s work is very much in the modernist tradition of Mies an der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, and Philip ohnson. Although not e actly decided on the location, a new house for herself is in the future and will combine living and working space in an urban setting. It will be more modern than any of my clients’ houses.
PRIUS IS MY COPILOT
Scott Simons, of Scott Simons Architects, didn’t so much build his house on ittle ohn Island as complete a startling renovation of it. he 1 summer cottage had been on the market for a long time, and only an architect could deftly take on the challenge and the difficult site. As empty nesters, he and his wife wanted to create a small, co y environment with views of the water, yet still have space for her office and for the children to visit. he floor plan is a variation of one Scott has created for several clients. itchen, dining, and living spaces pivot around the fireplace and are alive with light reflecting off the water. In response to his wife’s desire to soften the very orthogonal design, Scott found his inspiration for the curved roof in an odd place: the glove compartment door of a Prius he materials of the house reflect the sophistication of Scott’s other work, using a palette of stone, stucco, natural wood, and metal roofing. A high-efficiency gas boiler, walls and roof with high R values, and the use of local and recycled materials create a very green’ design. hese architects say the e perience of designing for themselves is more challenging than designing for a client, yet it’s very satisfying to live in the spaces they’ve created. Per-ain sonally, I’ve undertaken major renovations in ain four historic houses over the years. he design of a new house is still in my future. ■ ain

lueberries burst from my Illinois supermarket produce shelves. Eightyseven cents a pint. hese are not the small, cloudy blue gems we devoured in Maine long ago. But why spurn these pint-si ed gifts? I should buy the whole lot. uck them away in the free er, which I will gladly empty to accommodate them. Oh, the scrumptious possibilities: blueberry pie, Mr. eslie’s cobbler, blueberry buckle, sweet berry pancakes, handfuls on morning cereal. here are enough on these shelves to hold us through the summer. Why buy so few? It could be the little girl howling in her mother’s cart near the apples not shopping for blueberries , or the fact there are just the two of us now, so we’ve given up mass purchases. Or it could be that these imported berries just don’t measure up to the wild ones from Maine? Blueberries. I remember picking them in Maine. hey were the tiny, wild ones you can’t buy, the ones that grow on flat, little bushes that hug the earth throughout the long Maine winters. rom beaten down shrubs, their foliage finds its spring by April, in a good year. White flowers bloom in the summer, then the green and rosy berries start to form. By August, all that is left of the flowers are delicate flared crowns at the end of each berry, pointing every which way. We were young, just married, and staying on ermond Pond near the symbolic for us ope nion line. My husband found a hill near Cushing covered with scrubby, lowbush blueberries. nlike any storebought berry, these melted in your mouth. We ate as many as we bagged. he air was clear, and at the top of the hill near the famous house the sun was so bright you could hardly see the line between ocean and sky. hat late summer day we gathered berries all morning, wandering up and down the grassy rise to the old, weathered Olson homestead the inspiration for Andrew Wyeth’s Christina s World in 1 . he house loomed above the countryside, its bone gray clapboards bowing to the wind. Blues
everywhere, all for the picking. A Mainer, back at the pond, told me how: eave the ones that aren’t ripe. Pick carefully. ou don’t want to s uee e the insides out. on’t bother taking the stems off while you’re stooping. ou can do that while you sift through them in the kitchen, little lady. When we got tired of bending, we peeked into the raw, abandoned interior of the anti ue farm house. It was Alvaro and Christina’s world, balanced on the hilltop between ocean and fields. here was that familiar blue gla e that made the window and door frames famous, that connected the house to the fields. he house was furnished by one perfect, red, potted geranium in each window. I wanted to see who tended them. I cooked with wild blueberries all summer long at the cottage on ermond Pond. But it wasn’t until years later, when our children were in school, that I learned to make a proper blueberry pie. Store bought crusts are no good, my friend Mary said. Bring a pie plate and three pints of berries over riday, and we’ll see about those bo y pie mi es. And so we did. After that summer, we never did go back to our blueberry hill. ust as well it couldn’t have measured up. I didn’t ever see who took care of the red geraniums. hey say that when you bake up fro en blueberries, they turn tough and chewy. I have bags of them in the back of my free er from last year, and I haven’t used a single berry. resh blues. I should have bought more. ■ SUMMERGUIDE

Hanging ith Mailer
I had dinner at Fortune in the 1970s, when Norman Mailer was renting the house from the Thomas heirs. I was in my early twenties and very shy in front of the pugnacious celebrity (who had only a few years earlier punched out Gore Vidal). For readers hoping for literary anecdotes, I have few–this article is about a house. But Mailer was very much as one would expect. Showing off, he considered it interesting cocktail hour entertainment to dangle his young sons over the balcony until they screamed. After all other attempts at getting my attention failed, he tried to engage me in a dinner conversation about Pat Nixon and how lovely she was, to which I had little to add. I was too enamored by the house, taking in its amazing spaces, as fresh and modern that day as when first built. I was a poor dinner guest, perhaps, but when it comes to making small talk with Norman Mailer or taking in every detail of an iconic modern house? You tell me. –Brad Emerson
ther blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors. urnishings were chosen in the modernist style from the best designers of the time. he house was famous in its day and was featured in a Museum of Modern Art e hibition on modern buildings, as well as in several leading architectural publications. What seemed radical and modern years ago still holds up to scrutiny in the 1st century, and ortune Rock remains one of the finest modern houses in Maine and perhaps anywhere. In the 1 s, the house was purchased by the Berwind family, who undertook a sympathetic restoration and redecoration of the house, which by that time was a bit timeworn. Gone, unfortunately, was Clara homas’s dining room mural. ■

nthusiastic Bangor boosters claim that the buffet at the city’s OLL WOOD SLOTS OTEL AND RACEWA is a half-mile long. aving visited the place for this article, I can guarantee that this is an e aggeration. But the casino just may have Maine’s longest and biggest array of all-you-can-eat edibilia. With prices that are ama ingly ine pensive 1 . per person for dinner, . for lunch, . for breakfast it isn’t a gamble to assume you can get your money’s worth here. Buffet measurement is an ine act science. When pressed, staff for Bangor’s buffet said it spans about 15 feet in its current configuration, or perhaps 5 feet if all the tables were placed end-to-end. his compares with, say, the legendary Carnival World buffet at the hotel Rio in as egas, which reportedly e tends feet. But a better yardstick may be the number of dishes. Marketing director ason Birney says Bangor’s buffet offers dishes a day, plus 1 items on the salad bar. If this is true, it clearly ranks in the Big eagues of Buffetdom. Carnival World boasts

about dishes. According to Guinness World Records, the title for the world’s largest buffet is held by the olmes County odging Council at the olmes County Amish lea Market in Walnut Creek, Ohio, which claims 5 dishes. Perhaps independent verification is re uired. he Bangor casino itself is relatively small as these things go, a modest all-slot operation with 1, machines on a single floor. On one side of the building, just beyond the ollywood Classics, Penny ane where all the machines take pennies , and rows of slots with names like Sea Monkeys, A tec emple, Snow Globes, ueen of Atlantis, Alien Egg Bonus, and Wheel of ortune, sits the restaurant.

And, as I said, odd. he first thing you see when you enter the buffet line is the dessert table, with a table of freshly baked cookies, a fountain oo ing dark melted chocolate, fresh-dipped strawberries, and slices of chocolate-covered pound cake nearby. hen come appeti ers, which on the day of my visit included peel-and-eat Maine shrimp with a nice cocktail sauce and a dull but acceptable seafood salad with scallops, shrimp, and calamari. A sushi bar offered very good California rolls with wasabi and pickled ginger. Staff lauded the -foot-long salad bar with its wide array of prepared salads, such as Greek pasta salad, Southwestern salad with corn and tomatoes, potato salad, broccoli and raisin salad, sweet and sour chicken salad, and cold slaw. I tried them all and didn’t like a single one. But the bar offered lots of plain lettuce, raw veggies, olives, pickles, dressings, and other fi ings, which diners could combine to make a custom salad of their own. he buffet includes a changing selection of soups Chinese egg drop soup, chili, gumbo, clam chowder, and the like. he ones I sampled seemed too salty, as did many of the entrees. Even a friend, who said he might like a salt lick as a birthday present, agreed. Chicken in all forms roasted, sauteed, stewed, and served cold in various salads was consistently bland, almost tasteless. I also recommend entirely avoiding the Me ican and Asian dishes. But entrees such as the uiches, the lasagna, and most of the pi as were uite good. Many customers seemed to enjoy the red Maine hot dogs, baked beans, corn bread, and unlimited, waiter-served soda pop.

ourism in Maine is driven by drivers. Gone are the days when passenger steamboats traveled the water between Boston and Mount esert Island and ranklin and Eleanor Roosevelt traveled by train to their summer home on Campobello. Bridges at Bath and Bucksport opened up the coast to car travelers, and Interstate 5 did the same for the interior. he state put acationland on its license plates, and residents began measuring the onset of summer by the arrival of cars from out of state. Increasingly, however, summer is marked by traffic jams and road rage. It isn’t entirely the fault of out-of-staters. Mainers like to visit other parts of Maine. But do we always have to do it in our cars? Is there perhaps a more enjoyable, lowstress alternative? he very ualities that make Maine attractive to tourists its low population density and swaths of undeveloped land present challenges for public transportation. Inland areas like the Moosehead ake and Mt. atahdin regions remain difficult to reach without a car, but along the coast, things are changing. A car-free Maine vacation can also be an escape from high gas prices and competition for parking.

INTERVIEW
While actors Brooke Adams and Tony Shalhoub spellbind Broadway in Lend Me a Tenor, they also share their love and talent in a healthy lifestyle– with a little jolt from “Dr. Theater”!
I N T E R V I E W BY CO L I N W. S A R G E N T
First things first. We hear that during your days at the University of Southern Maine here, you worked as a waiter at the Eastland Park Hotel.
Tony Shalhoub: I learned to tie a bow tie at the Eastland. We all had to wear black bow ties, and for some reason the manager didn’t want us to use clip-ons, which wasn’t easy for me.
Perfect! We can just see you reworking it to get it just right–shades of Adrian Monk. What did you learn about Adrian’s delicate condition that you’ve been able to apply to your acting tics?
PETER HAPAK
Shalhoub: I suppose it’s obsessing over details, turning things over and over that’s helpful in my work. Sometimes a disorder or a liability in your life in terms of your mental health can be turned into an asset if you’re fortunate enough and have the perseverance. In terms of Monk, he wouldn’t be the brilliant and skilled detective he was if he didn’t have traces of OC . In some cases, it was essential to his success. Was your time in Portland essential to your success? You played many characters here, on and off the stage.

one summer, a dry cleaners another summer. I worked at a place that processed eggs. I worked at Nissen Bakery. Laughs I must have been fired by all of these places and had to find other employment. One summer, I ran a little drama program for kids at Waynflete, and I worked at the Children’s heatre of Maine. We staged a bicentennial show that om Power and Steve Romanoff wrote that we produced on the Eastern Promenade a musical they’d written called The Burning of Falmouth. (To Brooke Adams): You’ll always be an honorary Mainer to many of us because of your iconic lead role in the Stephen King movie The Dead Zone, opposite Christopher Walken, which takes place in Bangor and eerily anticipates the auto accident Stephen King would later suffer. How did you all decide to play Mainers onscreen? Was there any talk of dropping in the ghost of a Maine accent?
b oo a a S: I don’t remember anybody suggesting we do an accent. I mean, Chris wasn’t. I just sort of went along with that. We shot the film in oronto. I remember thinking, as Mainers , We’re authentic people, gritty, don’t complain, take it on the chin. We’re tough, ethical, good people. Some actors are so naturally sympathetic the audience wants to travel in their heads–a main character. What makes you that kind of actor?
a a S: Maybe that has more to do with who I am. I’m somebody who’s very compassionate. I try to accept a lot and try to be fle ible and give people a lot of room to, in the worst case, push me around. It gives an audience the best case to be themselves while e periencing the show within a character’s point of view . If you look at The ead one, our real main character is Christopher Walken, though, and he married someone else. Yet we follow your thoughts at key moments–for example, when you and Walken are reunited after the coma. Even in the TV miniseries Lace and Lace II, where the main character, Lili, was ostensibly played by Phoebe Cates, many viewers found themselves drawn into the story’s universe through your eyes.
a a S: It’s interesting. If you look at the three of us me, eborah Raffin, and Arielle ombasle in Lace and Lace II , we as ili’s possible mothers were the protagonist. Phoebe Cates was the antagonist. We were sort of one character. or me, a lot of my own personality 1 5 6 P O R T L A N D M O N T H LY M A G A Z I N E

bleeds into everything I do, so I’m not sure I’m a character actor the way ony can be. I wish I were I’d love to be able to do it as it would open doors to more roles , and I’m game, but I’ve never had the opportunity. ony went to graduate school in acting at ale and went to American Repertory heater. e’s done over a hundred roles. I’ve done about 5. You and Tony met on Broadway while co-starring in The Heidi Chronicles, after he lived in Maine. Why do you think Tony’s years at USM were so influential to him?
a a S: ony remains very, very close with four male friends he met in Maine when he was in college. hey all have something from Maine that rubbed off on them. My guess is that it’s that sort of ethical, moral compass that seems to be within a person from Maine without having to be connected to pop culture. All these guys who’ve maintained their friendship have that, so maybe that’s something they have from Maine. hey all transferred from other schools to Maine and shared the lure of Maine the idea of survival of the elements, getting back to basics.

And now you’re treading the boards with Tony once more on Broadway–with pal Stanley Tucci directing–in Lend Me A Tenor. It must feel so great for you to appear together and travel full circle like that.
a a S: It’s a hilarious play audiences go cra y for it. So it’s an up. It is stupid, but it is so funny, and the audience gives us back so much energy they’re just screaming. e has a much larger part and more broad. Mine is kind of small I don’t come into the script until page 5 . Once you’re both onstage, do you and Tony check in with each other with a kind of private dialogue during each performance–some secret signal or subtext that makes each night’s show different?
a a S: Every night differs from every other night onstage. It depends on the audience. Everybody’s performance changes every night. here’s a pattern, but there’s a second magic where you’re in this bubble of being onstage r. heater. ou might feel sick as a dog, but the minute you get onstage, that drops away.

INTERVIEW Lend Me A Mainer continued from page
that’s what I’m saying. A separate reality…
a a S: Plus, we all enter through doors. ou walk through this door, and you’re in a fun house. It has its own reality, and you can’t break that with the other actors. As far as ony is concerned, I’m in awe of ony as an actor and as a multifaceted character actor . e’s a comic genius. And I don’t think I’m any of those things. Spoken like a true main-character type. After all his Emmy-winning seasons, did Tony have to “unMonk” himself to play this role?
a a S: e’s so immediate and present when he’s acting and has this great imagination that lets him go to a lot of different places. is own personality and previous characters don’t bleed in. Performing every night sounds exhilarating and exhausting. Does it run you up or run you down? How many pounds do you drop onstage every night?
short headline here and here and here
a a S: I’d like to say I lost five pounds every performance But I don’t have a great deal of an iety before going on stage . I can eat before I do it. I’m not terribly nervous, even on the first night. I used to be terrified, but now I’m in a place where I really think that you can be coughing and hurting and di y and feverish and go onstage and feel okay. And then you go off and feel terrible again. It’s very odd. ony has lost pounds doing the show. e’s jumping over furniture, falling down it’s a really hilarious physical performance. It’s really taking its toll, but he’s been seeing a chiropractor and a nutritionist. I’ve gained every pound he’s lost. What’s your diet like during a stretch like this?
North Haven, Maine 207.867.2007
www.nebolodge.com
a a S: I try to eat a lot of greens, and I love salads. I do eat meat, but not too often, I hope. I love fish. I’m a terrible sugar addict, but it’s a losing battle. At the moment, I’m doing pretty well with it. Sugar is my enemy. ere, I’ve been skipping and doing a lot of walking in New ork. I have my dog here, and we purposely moved close to Central Park. hat’s where I’ve discovered skipping is an incredible e ercise. ou’re sort of jumping it gets you way out of breath it tightens your core to do that. And it makes
you smile. In my os Angeles life, I go to Bikram yoga three times a week. Since I haven t been doing it here in New ork , my body feels less achy I lift some weights. I used to be a dancer, so I’m not feeling good if I don’t e ercise all the time three times a day in bad weather. ime dictates how I e ercise now, so with three matinees a week, interviews, friends we haven’t seen in years who want to have lunch, there isn’t time for anything but the walking and the skipping. People look at you as if you’re insane to be skipping at my age, but I don’t mind . What’s next for you?
a a S: I’m trying to be a director. When I turned , I did my first short film , Pet Peeves, a -minute comedy. I’ve written another film I want to direct. (To Tony Shalhoub): So, really, 20 pounds? Brooke says you’re in the best shape of your life.
Shalhoub: I think I’ve lost more like 1 or 1 . I’m in good shape but also banged up and sore everywhere. It’s incredibly physical, and I bit off a little more than I can chew. One week my knee’s a little twisted, shoulder’s sore, thigh bruised. It’s a full-contact sport in this play. I’m feeling strong, my diet is much improved, so I guess there’s an upside. I’m just being careful. One nutritionist suggested that I just cut out dairy. I love yogurt, cheeses, cream in my coffee, all of that stuff, but without it I feel a lot cleaner. I have fewer chest or respiratory issues, and I’m just feeling a lot lighter. What’s your take on “Dr. Theater”? Pure adrenaline?
Shalhoub: It’s kind of a well-known phenomenon. ou get out there and whatever’s ailing you sort of temporarily evaporates. It’s a kind of internal mechanism or discipline. our focus shifts over to the task at hand. he body seems to collect itself. I’ve found it’s really the fun of doing the play you’re putting on the mantle of a different person, and that person isn t allowed to feel the way you actually feel. So you have four friends from your days at USM you still keep in close contact with. That puts you more than halfway toward an ensemble cast for a movie like Return of the Secaucus Seven.
Shalhoub: More than four. I keep up with a

lot of people from those days. I went in on an e change program initially, the National Student E change Program from the niversity of Wisconsin at Green Bay, after spending my freshman year there. here’s eborah all, om Power, and Bill Steele. Neil Gen linger, who writes for the ew ork Times and lives in ersey. e kind of ran the school paper for a couple of years at SM, then went on to become a journalist. e went to the paper in artford and then the ew ork Times. Bobby Swit er and I have remained close. oly crap, I met them in 1 when I first went there. Is that possible? I worked at Profile heater the present Portland Stage my senior year of college. hey hired me first to get props, run lights, and then I started doing some small roles. I ended up working in three or four plays. Mike Rafkin was there then, and eff Goodwin. eb all. Ed rench was one of the premier actors a number of seasons. oday, he’s a special-effects makeup artist who did a lot of work for us on Monk. So your Maine past actually hunts you down in other locales?
Shalhoub: I meet people all the time who’ve come to the play and Monk who feel compelled to tell me they went to SM or they’re from Maine. or me, it was the time of my life I was there the formative time. I think I moved there when I was 1 . I don’t know it had a certain impact. It felt very the people embraced me. here was a certain kind of cultural energy there, a cultural renaissance. When you were working with Meg Ryan in Against The Ropes, or soon after, she was house-hunting in Maine. She looked at a beautiful place in Cape Elizabeth called “Hidden Court.” Did Maine ever come up in your conversations with her?
Shalhoub: I would have remembered that.
You were last here for the premiere of your film, MadeUp, in 2003, and to give the graduation address at USM. When do you feel Maine calling you for your next visit?
Shalhoub: Anytime in the summer or fall, when the weather’s so beautiful. It’s so strange you mentioned the Eastland, which made me recall the bow ties, because oddly enough, in the play I wear a tu with tails, 1 s-style, with a white bow tie. It’s funny the way things come back to you, like tying a tie. It’s coming in really handy ■

from more than just the peppers in this evolved culture. I like the culture down here in New Orleans, Ruoss says with a broad smile. ike Portland, it’s got its own kind of vibe. Asked about how the current oil spill is affecting restaurant offerings in New Orleans, Ruoss says, It’ll take a couple years before we know the damage. Shrimp are lost and won’t reproduce. As they close down fishing areas, they get more e pensive. We changed the menu. Prices are up 1 . We can eat some of the increase , but not all of it. he biggest hit is oysters we’re not flying in oysters from anywhere else We’ll still get everything locally until we can’t. As for watching Emeril become world-famous, he rolls his eyes and laughs. eah, I noticed around the time he got married. ational In uirer reporters were following and asking me where he was getting married Give you 1 if you tell me where he’s getting married.’ I was, like, No, he’s my boss ’ Plus, the corporate office issued press statements on what to say to the press for employees. I think that’s when it hit me. Now Ruoss is chatting it up with other celebrity chefs as his own star begins to soar. I plated up for ydia Shire owner of Blue Sky on ork Beach at Carnivale du in which raises millions for the Emeril agasse oundation. e deadpans, Maine-style, And I got a kiss form Alice Waters legendary chef owner of Che Panisse, a training ground for Primo’s Melissa elly . Alice inspired me as a young cook. What? No home sickness? No cravings from the North? Steamers ou can’t get clams down here Clam cakes nothing, and I still need to have Mo ie mailed to me. My friend Ed Greenleaf flew down just for the weekend from Biddeford to pay off his Superbowl bet one dollar and two cases of Mo ie he says proudly, which can only mean he is a Saints fan. Sadly, he didn’t bring the antidote for Mo ie which, in our opinion, is a palette-numbing absinthe chaser . Another aspect Ruoss has brought to Catch is a deep reverence for Maine’s fishing industry. I have farm-raised salmon flown in from Maine every week, and we have Maine foods on the menu shepherd’s pie and I bet we’re the only restaurant in New Orleans that has oyster crackers. It’s a little slice of Maine on Maga ine Street.

TASTY ROOTS KING CREOLE, MEET KING LOBSTER
obster has always had a place in Ruoss’s heart. We’ve gotten Maine-bought lobster as a special. I had lobster flown down from Commercial Street for New ear’s Eve at NO A. And how do the Cajuns cover for their indebtedness to Maine? egend has that lobsters missed the rench and followed them to ouisiana, and the journey shrunk them to crawfish, Ruoss says. h. So basically they can be prepared in the same way, as in crawfish thermedor? Noooo, you can’t do that Ruoss cries, agape in horror. Crawfish have their own taste you you just can’t do that. Now Prudhomme jumps in, vigorously shaking his head. hose crawfish been in the mud a long time, but you can do anything the same. on’t matter. et while northerner Ruoss defends the individual integrity of southern crawfish, Prudhomme’s respect for Maine lobster is reverential as he leans over, astonished at the concept of a lobster roll. A roll? I don’t think I’d do that obster is very special perfect the way it is. Why change it? While Prudhomme’s memories of Maine are dominated by blueberry fields and unpleasant recollections of the cold, Ruoss is positively giddy at spending part of this summer with us, if possible. I go all over Red’s Eats my favorite is ore Street Sam ayward does an e cellent job Imagine if Emeril had received such enthusiastic applause when he was here. Ruoss continues, Rapid Rays in Biddeford it’s great So much salt on everything. here’s a hamburger called he Big One. Ruoss’s biggest high so far happened when Presidents Bill Clinton and George . W. Bush strolled into NO A after urricane atrina and received a standing ovation. Ruoss smiles at the memory of President Bush meeting him after a meal of smoked duck and laughing, I can’t wait to tell Barbara I came all the way to New Orleans from Maine to have duck ’ Asked how he might cater to ongfellow’s fictional heroine, Evangeline, should she be able to walk through -Paul’s doors today, Prudhomme her Cajun kin uips, eed her whatever I had e opens his arms as if to greet her. It’s the idea of freshness. We have no free ers. We serve whatever we have that day. ■

Rockefeller sometimes sails out here for picnics, according to Mia hompson Brown of the nowles Co. I always come back calmer and happier after visiting, says Brown. he shore ranges from granite to sand. he southern end has a lovely point that looks out onto the bay it would be a great spot for a residence. rom there, interior paths wind their way through the center to the northeast and northwest ends of the island, where the rocky shore transitions into a sandy beach. here were once four cabins here the current conservation easement allows up to a total of five homes to be built. he hope is that the buyer is conservation-minded and will enjoy adding some additional easements that might translate into some ta benefits, as well.

ay Bailey owns two islands, but he’s only interested in selling one which one will be up to the buyer. I keep Pine Island like a park, he says. I like the privacy and full panoramic view from sunrise to sunset, you can follow the sun all the day just by moving to different spots on the island. here’s bass all around and great snorkeling you can see lots of big fish. e admits the one-acre island is rustic it has only an octagon-shaped camp and an outhouse, a refreshing oddity in a neighborhood where multi-million dollar mansions are the norm. iny Phoebe Island just an eighth to a uarter acre, depending on the lake level makes up for what it lacks in si e with absolute charm. A white cottage, built in the 1 s and meticulously renovated by Bailey, perches atop the rocky promontory just 1 feet from shore. At Pine Island, you’re on the island, looking out through a cathedral of trees. At Phoebe, when you’re in the house, you look out and see water it’s almost like being on a boat. ou’ll be having dinner and see the loons swimming by, says Bailey. Included in Phoebe Island’s price is 1 acres on the mainland.

On summer weekends, there’s always something going on at the busy waterfront, from boat shows to art e hibits to music festivals. Parking can be difficult, but taking the train neatly circumvents that problem. he train’s arrival is an event in itself. We can carry in e cess of people, Page says. When that train pulls into Rockland, it’s like a landing in downtown. Many visitors stay overnight others come up just for the day. We do a lot of packages: rail and sail packages, where people can get out on a lobster boat or a sailboat and rail and air packages, where you can go up on a sightseeing flight out of Owl’s ead over the bay, Page says. We see a lot of families and a surprising percentage of international travelers .

Champlain gave Mount esert Island its name, and it’s as impressive a sight today as it was for him in 1 . oday, those mountains are crisscrossed with trails and carriage roads built by the wealthy families who donated the land to the National Park Service. he Island has four municipalities and several communities. Bar arbor is the major tourist destination Northeast arbor is a major yachting center Southwest arbor and Bass arbor, on the island’s uiet side, are centered around fishing and building boats. he tiny village of Somesville sits at the head of a deep fjord that nearly cuts the Island in two. here’s just one bridge on and off the island, and the two-lane highway that takes you there can become a slow crawl of cars past gift shops, go-kart tracks, and ice cream stands in mid-summer. Roads within the park itself are often congested, and the air uality in one of Maine’s most scenic places has suffered. Enter the Island E plorer bus system, a free service which has been in operation since 1 and offers access to the entire area on its propane-powered buses. uring the season, it’s the busiest bus service in the state, says Paul Murphy, general manager of owneast ransportation. here’s more and more interest in it all the time. And it’s no wonder why. Riders enjoy unparalleled views of the majestic, pinkgranite Cadillac Mountain, which pierces the indigo sky at an impressive 15 feet

were part of the bargain the city bartered with MMC to mitigate the industriali ation effect of the hospital’s e pansion nearby. It’s cause to rejoice for deni ens who have dreamed of living in the West End but didn’t think they could afford it. hese properties are a steal of a deal for the fi erupper types. Not to scare away any potential buyers, but these properties are not for the faint-of-heart. Because these properties were used as office space for so long, it’s going to take someone with restoration e perience to return them to their former glory, says aye Gorham of eller Williams Realty. A little elbow grease aside, the necessary renovations become mere inconveniences when you consider the grand staircases, stunning stained-glass windows, plethora of fireplaces, built-ins, and enough s uare footage enough to accommodate the Brady Bunch comfortably. wenty-five Bramhall Street 5 is a ohn Calvin Stevens creation, and although
Cons: • No designated parking for 23 and 31 Bramhall • Tiny yard space • New kitchens needed in each of the four properties the original, opulent entry was moved from the side of the house to the front, the golden oak staircase, bathed in amber light filtering through a stained-glass window set over the landing, still demands that one walt not skip down its steps. Ne t door at 1 Bramhall 1 , a winding staircase greets visitors in the foyer, while a series of rench doors invites guests from one sun-drenched room to another, and co y, nook-like hallways lend the house an air of playfulness. A ma e of eight small apartments many with their own fireplaces comprises Bramhall 5 , a 5, -s uare-foot, brick wonder. And at 1 Bramhall 5 , the graceful, curved windows on the second story are the epicenter of its charm. hese houses can be purchased separately or as a package. So if you’re looking to join the party, hurry to stake your claim these beauties won’t be single for long. ■

She stood on the wharf, peering out over the water against the bitter gusts. Everyone else was inside the building, looking through the window in the door. here weren’t many others. Not all of them, she knew, would be going to her island. She was about to turn and go back inside when she heard the hoot and just made out the bow of the Abenaki looming through the mist, heading for the landing. aren waited outdoors while the boat tied up to the pier. he people in the lobby eventually began to move slowly out into the fog and the blow, but aren was first in line when the deckhand opened the gate and put down the gangway to let off the inbound passengers. hey moved past her soundlessly, or nearly so, their faces hidden beneath their hoods and behind their scarves, their heads bent forward before the thrust of the northeast wind. heir breath issued from under their headgear in pearly clouds that settled on their clothing in the form of free ing mist. When the last of the passengers had disembarked, the deckhand touched aren’s elbow and she boarded, the others following behind her. No one sat out on the wooden bench that followed the curve of the gunwale or on the other ice-cloaked seats on deck. he cabin was not warm, either, but at least the gales could not get at them.

It idled as the hull rose and fell with the waves rolling in from the open sea, diminished and muted by the bay but si able nevertheless. Captain hurlow moved around the wheelhouse, obviously killing time. aren knew him well from a lifetime of traveling back and forth from her childhood home to Portland and, in her later years, far beyond. She hadn’t been home now for several years, but nothing seemed to have changed. Capt. hurlow hadn’t aged nor, so far as she could tell, had the boat, although it was wooden and covered with many coats of green and gray paint. aren wondered what they were waiting for. She found out when the deckhand and another man dressed in a long, black coat wheeled the coffin into the cabin. She turned to look out the window behind her and saw the hearse parked on the dock. She turned back in time to see the deckhand and the undertaker lift the coffin off its carriage and place it against the far bulkhead. It won’t move there, the undertaker said. he deckhand nodded. aren watched the man in black plunge out into the whipping wind, SUMMERGUIDE

We’re just about set to sail, folks, Capt. hurlow said, sticking his bearded face out of the wheelhouse. e nodded to the deckhand, who put up the hood of his yellow slicker and plunged out again onto the deck. e hauled in the steel gangway, closed the gate in the gunwale, and pushed off with a gaff as the Abenaki hooted twice and began to back into the bay. aren sat and stared at the coffin. She found that she was curious about it. Who was in it, and where was he or she going? he Captain would know, the woman beside her said. aren started and looked up, but the woman was looking at the coffin, not at her. aren cast a glance about the cabin and saw that everyone else was looking at the coffin as well. hey must all have been thinking the same thought. It made aren uneasy to be a part of such a gloomy assemblage. She got up, walked to the door of the wheelhouse, and stood there looking out the windshield as Capt. hurlow guided his ferry, steering carefully to dodge the hundreds of clumps of ice. When he hit a relatively clear stretch of open water, he glanced over his shoulder. ello, Miss, he said. It’s nice to see you again. ow long has it been since your last trip? aren moved to stand beside him. ive years, she said. She threw back her hood and unwrapped her scarf so that the lower half of her face was no longer covered and her words would not be muffled as she spoke them. er long, dark hair fell loosely over her shoulders. It’s nice to see you again, too. I wasn’t sure you’d still be here. hurlow made a sound halfway between a snort and a laugh. Not you, too Why do people think I’d want to retire? e gave the wheel a half-turn. Everyone thinks I’ll go out of my mind from the boredom, he said, easing the steel wheel through his rough hands. But it’s impossible to get bored. Weather changes the view every minute, and I never get tired of it. he bow pushed the black water into the mist. here was no sound other than the mutter of the motor, not even the cry of a tern. ou’ve not changed much, either, the captain said.

Nice of you to say so. I take it since you’re traveling alone that you’re not married yet? Not yet, maybe not ever. Why do people think I want to get married? he captain gave her a droll look and steered clear of a large, floating chunk of ice. Everybody probably thinks you’ll go out of your mind from the boredom, he said. I’m never bored, she said. e laughed. I saw that one coming. ook e pointed to a seal pup on an ice floe.

I don’t recogni e anybody. She stood uietly for a moment. She’d already gotten her sea legs back, for she hardly noticed the motion of the deck.
