are to do the “impossible.” Ride on a luxury cruise from Portland Harbor to Toronto along the St. Lawrence Seaway. At least it was impossible to sail from here to there when I first caught the film version of Northwest Passage on a rainy Saturday afternoon, stuck at home. With all the head-rolling, graphic infanticide, and scalp displays, the violent movie was shockingly bloody—even on our black-and-white TV set. (There was just one of them—why was it called a set?) The 1940 Spencer Tracy star turn (based on the book by Kennebunkport’s Kenneth Roberts, crown prince of cannibalism and suicide) was out fewer than two decades when the impossible became possible. The 1959 joint engineering feat by the U.S. and Canada (imagine two countries doing anything together so successfully!) to blast deepwater passage through to the Great Lakes was so spectacular it rivaled the creation of the Suez Canal (1869) and the Panama Canal (1914). In any case, Jacques Cartier (searching for a shortcut to Asia) never made it that far along the St. Lawrence. Nor did Sebastian Cabot. Samuel de Champlain couldn’t pull it off. They might as well have traveled through Middle Earth. When I call American Queen Voyages and ask about reservations, Robert lures me right in with his vivid description of the luxurious accommodations amid stars and sunsets. “You spend Night 1 in Portland. Then there’s a day at sea to Halifax, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. After a day in Halifax and another day at sea, you’ve reached Prince Edward Island.” Isn’t that…? No, that’s Prince Andrew. Prince Edward (1767–1820), Duke of Kent and Strathearn, was Queen Victoria’s father and the Commander in Chief of British North America. From there you sail on through the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Québec. Next is Montréal. “I’m with you so far,” I say. “But I can’t wait to hear what you’re going to say next.” “Then it’s Montréal to Toronto, via the St. Lawrence Seaway.” “Will there be rapids?” Pause. Maybe he doesn’t get the Steinbeck reference. The royal yacht Brittania made a trip through the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, including the 27-mile Welland Canal created to negotiate the 327-foot drop from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. (In 1981, Charles and Diana spent a most awkward honeymoon on this same ship.) Cost of this cruise at the top end is “$9,899 per person in the Owner’s Suite. It has a balcony,” Robert says. Then there’s the more affordable Category A: “The staterooms are 185 square feet versus 335 square feet for the Owner’s Suite. Category A staterooms are $6,599.” You won’t make it all the way to China, Kenneth Roberts, like the early explorers dreamed. But this novel round trip to Toronto is one hell of an excellent adventure.

re you looking for your own Maine island for an escape? Suddenly everyone else is too. Our “Dream Islands” story captures the magic of dozens of islands for sale in one summer. This year, as with the rest of Maine real estate, inventory is down. Private islands are particularly dear. “I think a lot of it is that some people are moving back to Maine,” says Jessica Fike of Brookewood Realty in Manchester. “And others from out of state are moving here because now they can work remotely.” It seems the rest of the world is catching on to our best-kept secrets.

Lake is one of the best lakes in Maine,” says owner Jay Bailey. “You’ve got to visit it to believe it.” The mainland property offers a cottage and a barn for two boats and space for 20 cars—the perfect escape for a couple who loves to entertain.

POMP ISLAND, BEALS: $1.29M Once used as a writing sanctuary by a Wall Street player who sold the island after his sabbatical (“I believe his name is William Bornmann,” says listing agent William Milliken of Bold Coast Properties), Pomp Island awaits your own great escape. Just off the Beals peninsula, this gem of Western Bay boasts gorgeous views of the Atlantic from its 28 shaggy acres that catch the southwest breeze on perfect summer days. With anchorage on the north side and several swimmable beaches, “its key ingredient is accessibility,” says Milliken. “It’s an off-the-chart Maine vacation that’s hard to find.” The existing log cabin offers a cozy respite from day-to-day cares with four rooms, a woodstove, views of the shore, and tall Maine pines to remind you just how insignificant those cares really are. Taxes: $2,472

private hideaway that seems almost too good to be true. “Sitting on my front porch on the island, I can watch an eagle’s nest and for years have seen new baby birds learning to fly there,” says Bailey. “They’ve even flown over to our island.” Though the island cottage was originally built in the 1930s, Bailey executed a complete overhaul when he bought it. “I’ve worked my whole life on it. When we were first visiting, and the kids were little, the place was so rundown we’d pitch a tent inside to sleep in. I can remember the first night we stayed after I’d done the renovation—beautiful woodwork, clean, and cozy with two big queen-sized beds. We all got tucked in, turned out the lights, and started giggling thinking of that old tent.” New owners won’t need to do much, if anything at all, to this turn-key property, but it’s open for memories all your own. Combined taxes for mainland parcel and island: $1,500.

Greer Island, a five-acre property just off the eastern shore of Vinalhaven, is the perfect setting for aspiring preservationists, native gardeners, and nature lovers alike—or perhaps those who just want a place to call their own. (The Nearings would have had a field day.) Having belonged to the Arey family for over a century, it’s a place of love, fond memories, and “infinite possibilities with today’s new eco-organic technology” says seller Elizabeth Arey, who planted the island’s spruce trees with her husband when they married. The island’s currently occupied only by a 12’ x 15’ fisherman’s hut, but permits are available for a 600-squarefoot house with septic system.

We listened to the evening whip-poor-wills, marveled at the stars and the Milky Way twinkling in a black velvet sky, and sat around singing songs and eating ice cream.” “A cottage small is all I’m after,

Not one that’s spacious and wide, A house that rings with joy and laughter And the ones you love inside. Some like the high road;

I like the low road, Free from the care and strife. Sounds corny and seedy, But yes indeedy, Give me the simple life.” —Harry Ruby, “Give Me the Simple Life”

A mooring on the treeless island’s north side is perfect for a forty-foot boat and a suitable distance for sea kayaks. “The island makes you feel so small,” Milliken says. “Anyone serious about buying it needs to stay at least one night. The sounds are so foreign to anything you’d hear on the mainland. The birds, the seals—all those noises are only out there.” Island life isn’t for the faint of heart, and Milliken doesn’t promote the 540-square-foot rustic cabin for yearround living. But even though the waiting is the hardest part, summers prove time and time again they’re well worth waiting for in Maine.

A few friends originally bought it together, but it gradually was owned by my husband’s great-grandfather, Maynard Maxim. [His] brother Frank, who owned a sawmill in Litchfield, did all the woodwork. They’d bring the lumber over every winter by horse-drawn sleigh when the lake was frozen.” At that time, when someone wanted to get over to the island, they’d use a bugle to call for a boat ride. “And we still have the bugle.” While the island has been a mainstay in the family for more than a centu-

ry, Hollingsworth says she and her husband, Jeff, recognize it’s time to move on. In stark contrast to Jeff’s father, Maynard Hollingsworth, who only missed one summer on the island when he was serving in World War II, “the next generation just isn’t interested.” With room for nearly thirty people, Goodwin was the place to be, even without the comforts of running water and electricity. “We found an old guest book that friends used to sign when they visited. They had people over all the time.” Two camps, two bunkhouses, and property on the mainland make it the perfect Maine getaway for a family, extended family, and friends. “We now use generators to power the camps, but it’s still a place to unplug and unwind,” says Hollingsworth. “The main house has a giant stone stove in an open kitchen/living space. That’s the heart of the place, where you’ll find everyone gathering.” Taxes: $12,114 KENNEBEC RIVER ISLAND, SKOWHEGAN: $169K his sixteen-acre island in the Kennebec River is a blank canvas for a new, ambitious owner.

—Lydia Studley HOME OFF THE RANGE As for the horses, the rescue’s main goal remains to help them transition into a better life, whether that’s into new homes or by providing lifetime care for unadoptable horses. “A lot of people think you can just choose your horse, but there has to be a chemistry,” Lydia says as we visit with their two ambassadors: Braveheart and Portland Monthly’s sponsored horse, Remington. “A relationship with horses is kinda like a marriage, you know? It’s for better or worse.” As Lydia prepares for a future without her grandmother’s lead, it’s easy to see—as hard as the next few months or even years may be—she’s been waiting her whole life to take the reins.

We see you’re a Navy veteran, an MUS3—Musician Third Class Petty Officer. We appreciate your service. What was it like to embark on a career in music while in uniform?

Y

eah, you know what it did? It gave me this introduction to touring and performing—being a full-time musician. Driving a fifteen-passenger van and docking it into the bay. How to work a crowd, turn an audience on. I did a lot of small performances in college studying music, but this was the real thing. Did you get to perform in front of some political big shots or Navy brass?

Wherever our Admiral went, we were his band. Mostly in the Southeast, but we toured everywhere from the Dominican Republic to Iceland—both in formal performances as a funk-pop band doing covers and at the informal gatherings he’d do.

A bird or seagull will land on your amp…You’re lucky if they don’t dump on it before they take off. The Navy hymn that moves me to the core is “Eternal Father, Strong to Save.” Listening to you sing on YouTube, it struck me that you have such a deep and musical voice. You really dig down for emotion. You could really sing “for those in peril on the sea.”

You know what? I have never been asked that question. That is brilliant. Thank you for putting that in my head. On the flip side, have you ever heard anybody sing “Anchors Aweigh” well?

(Laughs) No!

SUMMERGUIDE 2022 59


PERFORMANC E

Being on a lake was an eye-opener for me.

When’s the first time you were ever up here?

Yes, I have, twice!

Late 1990s. I was in Unity, with a group of music friends who were getting married. We’d toured together, and they paid us to party with them. That’s where I learned to kayak. There were four of us girls and a couple of sisters out of Houston. It was really truly amazing, trying to hold a conversation while trying to hold ourselves upright.

Where’d you perform in Italy?

I thought that’s what all musicians do.

It’s a blur. We’ve performed in all the different villages in southern Italy. We went to Sardinia too. I’m really jealous of your performing in Cuba.

I love me some Cuba—yes, yes, yes! We went five or six years ago and stayed and played in Havana for a while. We went way west on the island to perform in smaller venues too. Who convinced you to come to Maine for the North Atlantic Blues festival?

I’ve had a longstanding friendship with [festival producer] Paul Benjamin. He and his wife are just beautiful people. I’ve known them for years. I’ve been to their home. We’ve been on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise together. 60 P O R T L A N D MAGAZINE

Being on a lake was an eye-opener for me. We talked about that experience for years. Kayaking is so silent it’s almost supernatural. When I introduced the poet Barbara Lefcowitz to kayaking, she was astonished. How do you use silence like that in your singing?

M

iles Davis says it’s the most important part of the song. I try to use silence and dynamics. I started out in music school as a classical singer. Silence is part of that. We learned to respect it early. What are your thirty most embarrassing seconds on stage?

I did the classic “Thank you, Cleveland!” when I was talking to a crowd in Houston.

How do you recover after your kayak flips like that?

You go straight into the music!

I love the way you sing “Long Time Gone.” Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young couldn’t touch your version. It was a pretty exquisite song choice. How’d it come about?

I have to give most of the credit to John Chelew, the producer of Let it Burn. He brought the song to me. Of course I’d heard it. I said, let’s see what happens in the studio and see if it gels. Gosh, we had all of these New Orleans players—I really let them lead me into that song. The Blind Boys from Alabama came—they put the meat in it. They set you up, but you’re the one who ran away with it. Tell me about the most recent song you’ve written?

I rarely title the songs I’m working on. It’s something funky. I’d just seen Shemekia Copeland, and I remember thinking, man, I’d love to write for her! I pulled up every guitar sound I could find. I just call new things I’m working on projects: Project Funk. What instrument do you compose on?

Usually guitar.

During a book tour in Italy, I read a chapter of my novel The Boston Castrato on Armed Forces Radio Network. They have such a big radio signal it gave me a shiver. They reach so many people in uniform—maybe even ghosts. While I was reading, I imagined my father could hear it across the ether. He was a bomber pilot stationed in England during World War II. When you were in Italy, did you get to perform on the station?

I think of sensations—lobster rolls, fresh lobster. Being in the here and now, ducking into a coffee shop. I love to hear the seagulls in Rockland. Of course, [back home] in Austin, Texas, there aren’t too many seagulls! Matthew “The Beach Bum” McConaughey is the closest thing you have to a seagull. Ever meet him in Austin?

Yes, I’ve talked to him, but only at multi-artist gatherings. We had a couple of hurricanes that took a couple towns out, so there were benefit performances [where she shared the stage] with Matthew McConaughey, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, James Taylor. Matthew McConaughey [who incidentally was born in Uvalde] is really low-key. You see him everywhere in Austin, and that’s just how it is. I was at a sushi restaurant and saw Matthew and [Brazilian-American model and designer] Camila Alves, his wife. Will you be ducking seagulls when you perform on the Public Landing in July? Are you able to use them as part of the show?

I was stationed in Charleston and performed outside quite a bit. A bird or seagull will land on your amp and you’ll get a good laugh. You’re lucky if they don’t dump on it before they take off.

On Golden Pond When fair weather wasn’t a friend it became a plot-shift collaborator in the beloved movie. INTERVIEW WITH O S CA R -W I N N I N G SCREENWRITER E R N E ST T H O M P S O N BY COLIN W. S A R G E N T

Can you tell us about your family’s place on Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes that inspired your Oscar-winning movie On Golden Pond?

hen my grandparents first settled on Great Pond in 1908, they lived in a tent. They built the original house in 1914, but that house burned in a famous fire in 1958, when lightning went up a water pipe after striking the lake. Things got really dark then, because we didn’t build the next house until 1968. But many houses on the lake had ice houses, so between 1958 and 1968 my father, who was a carpenter by avocation, remodeled our ice house into what we called the Nice House. It was rustic. Then the new house came, right on the water, grandfathered—very open. It’s my brother’s now, but I spend time there every year. Until the

IN TERVIEW pandemic came along, I never missed a summer there. Does the “new” house have a name?

For years it was called Middlewood. The original was called Inwood. There were only two other cottages on the cove for a long time, and Middlewood was the middle of three houses. Because if you’d name a fish Walter, it’s a good guess your cabin has a name.

M

y uncle John Walter always felt the fish was named after him—he was insulted! But I didn’t. In Holderness, NH, where they shot the movie, there’s a restaurant called Walter’s Basin. Vacationland is a myth. We all collaborate on it. What are some of the family legends about the Great Pond cottage?

Sometimes it’s creativity by necessity. I’d written originally in On Golden Pond that a huge storm came up on the lake. In real life, my grandfather was in

a dory when a storm swept him across the lake. There were no phones. My grandmother was worried about him. But during shooting in the summer of 1980, there were no storms. Day after day, no storms on the lake! One day I see a guy with a suit walking onto the set—this can’t be good. “What’s the thing with the storms? You’re the writer, right?” They told me the closest storm-making machine was in Malta—impossibly expensive! Without the storm, something different had to separate Norman and Billy from Ethel. Yikes! I’ll bet few people realize you had to write a completely new plot point on demand like that, right on set. Enter the rock at Purgatory Cove that sends Norman flying into the lake, with the boat sinking. Was serendipity your collaborator anywhere else?

Everything came together. I’d met a gentleman who was in the loon preservation society. He told me he had a freezer full of dead loons.

Doesn’t everybody? Have you ever written anything else with Maine as a setting?

I have a play called The Constituents that takes place in the boondocks of northern Maine. An old woodsman is writing letters to his senator, and the letters aren’t very nice. (You realize it’s a period piece now when somebody is writing letters in a story!) So the Senator shows up. I’m working with Gordon Clapp from NYPD Blue on that project, which could be a movie. I know you don’t call it The Big Swim, but tell us about your annual Great Pond self-challenge.

It goes from my cove around the point to a cove two coves away. I’ve been doing it longer than I can count. What’s different across the years? The houses have changed. I train for it absolutely never. If you hear of me not making it back this summer, it was nice talking to you. Crawl, backstroke, breaststroke?

All three.

When did you start this tradition?

In my teens. Mrs. Williams built a cottage there. She accused me of starting my swim early so I could catch her skinny-dipping, but that wasn’t the case. Any other (in)famous neighbors?

I regret I never met E. B. White, who had a place on the lake. Eugene O’Neill spent time on the lake.

INT E RV IE W there when the cottage burned down. It was a tradition in my childhood that as we approached the shore of the lake, my brother and I would get out of the car and run ahead of our father driving. We were supposed to be first to say hello to the lake. Ahead of the car, on foot, per our tradition, we raced toward the water’s edge but stopped when we saw our cottage black and smoldering. About the dark: we never had a phone—my mother refused—and no TV or radio. It left a lot to the imagination. Skinny-dipping, night fishing. You fell asleep after reading. Darkness was part of living on the lake. We were never afraid of the dark. I’ll ask Billy’s question: Are you afraid of dying?

No. I like the Woody Allen line: “I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” Describe your cottage on Great Pond. Knotty pine, stone fireplace?

T

he one built in 1968 has a brick fireplace. It’s very open—nothing elegant at all. People would be amazed to see how primitive and modest it is. It’s a place to sleep so you can go out on the lake.

Where do you read there?

When the movie was being filmed, the prop guy looked at [the stage direction in] the script and asked me, “Book nook? How many books do you want?” [I told him] a thousand. Let us peek into your childhood. What summer reading was in the book nook?

All Hardy Boys, Mark Twain, Just David, Heidi. We read on the dock by day and in the living room by night. A time was coming to an end when people came to the lake and left at the end of the summers. You covered the furniture for the winter. I was wistful, writing about the end of an era. Everything was about to change to condos and computers. You asked about legends. On Great Pond, the real-life mail-boat driver doing deliveries across the lake was named Dave Webster, a hero of mine. Great Pond is one of the last rare places where mail delivery is conducted exclusively by boat. It’s a three-hour job each day. Even Lake Winnipesaukee in SUMMERGUIDE 2022 69

Agamenticus is only half the height of New York’s Empire State Building, yet visible all the way from Kennebunkport. One thing’s certain: whether you hike or drive to the summit, you’ll score spectacular views faster than waiting in line for the Empire State’s observatory deck. There’s something about a mountain that looks out at the sea. This is the view that the first Mainers saw from canoes. According to indiancountrytoday.com, this former ski resort includes a pile of stones that amount to more than just a hill of beans. The “removal of stones from a mound at the mountain’s summit that memorializes 17th century Pennacook Chief Sachem Passaconaway” in the last decades sparked controversy. “Descendants of the Pennacook, an Eastern Abenaki Nation tribe in southern coastal Maine and northern New Hampshire, have gathered for hundreds of years at this stone

mound for prayer and ceremonies…They traditionally add a ‘prayer stone’ to the pile. The mound pays homage to St. Aspinquid, Passaconaway’s Christian name. The Pennacooks believe that Passaconaway (“Son of the Bear”) banished an evil spirit from the mountain and was buried there.” Sparks flew when “the conservation region and town [of York] removed stones from the mound and used them to border a garden of shrubs and other plantings.” When does something become holy? The town invoked the “Leave No Trace” policy to disturb the stones, according to Indian Country Today. It depends on your point of view—and what a view! We even think the remains of the old Big A ski lift at the summit are holy! Once we saw a Goth wedding in full costume conducted at the top. One thing is sure: If you come here, something will come over you Consider this new legend in Wikipedia about Agamenticus: “It is high enough

that from its peak on a clear day one can see the skyscrapers of Boston.”

FEEL THE BREEZE Visit the home of Arctic explorer Admiral Robert Peary (1856– 1920). He bought Eagle Island when he was just 25 years old—his family stayed out here till 1967. The house is a museum that still contains prized curios “that absolutely stink with explorer chic,” a visitor whispers. Right: a cartoon shows Peary (left) duking it out with a rival: “Robert Peary and Frederick Cook discuss who first reached the North Pole.” The answer is neither of them. As for the Antarctic penguins in the illustration, they were never at the North Pole either. But there is unencompassable beauty on Eagle Island. You owe it to yourself to go there this summer.

GHOSTS GALORE The good news is, it’s automated now. When Nathaniel Hawthorne visited White Island Lighthouse (aka Isles of Shoals Lighthouse) in 1852, he noted that the keeper at the time “has lost two wives—the first a young creature whom he used to leave alone upon this desolate rock, and the gloom and terror of the situation were probably the cause of her death. The second wife, experiencing the same kind of treatment, ran away from him, and returned to her friends.” Yet Hawthorne “heard a woman’s voice inside the dwelling, but [knew] not whose it was,” according to lighthousefriends.com/light. asp?ID=664. Best admired from a safe distance on an Isles of Shoals Steamship Company cruise.

A New Novel by Paul Dione About The Book: Madeleine Moreau, poverty stricken and alone, struggles to provide for herself and her children, her future bleak, foreboding and empty. She draws strength in her darkest hour when the Monsignor of Paris charges her with witchcraft and threatens to tear her family apart. The novel follows the lives of Madeleine Moreau and her antagonist, the Monsignor of Paris... Marc Moreau, Madeleine’s husband, and his journey home from Russia following Napoleon’s defeat... Madame Leblanc and her disavowal of aristocracy for the cause of liberty... Michel Bois, a popular French sculptor, who forsakes Madeleine for the salvation of France... and the two young priests, whose lives are changed by the chronicles of witchcraft, the vestiges of the Inquisition and inhumane treatment of women by the Church– bringing them to moral crossroads where each must choose his or her own destiny. Influenced by the enlightened philosophers of the times, these characters uncover the bigotry of the Church, suffer religious persecution and experience the horrors of war.

ADOBE STOCK

Background: As an Avocation, for over twenty years, the author has researched the role of women in the Early Church and the scandal of their subordination in the rise of Christianity. This resulted in his first work entitled The Priestess and the Pope. Madeleine’s Inquisition, a sequel, bolsters the already persuasive case of the leadership role of women and sets forth the injustice, superstition and the inhumanity of the Church towards women. As a decorated combat veteran, the author felt compelled to deal with the horrors and the aftermath of war in an era plagued by constant wars.

obert Laurent’s (June 29, 1890-April 20, 1970) artistic footprints start here and travel far and wide. We can visit his sculptures everywhere from the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA–even Radio City Music Hall, where his monumental Goose Girl, 1932, fashioned out of aluminum, upstages the Rockettes to this day.

Open your eyes wide, get the local tang.

Winters included teaching at Vassar, the Corcoran Gallery, and the Art Students League of New York. But during Maine summers, amid the vortex of seagulls at Perkins Cove, many of his sculptures shaped the living, including the work of generations of students and his son, the important painter John Laurent. “I moved in here in November [1989],” John told us of his father’s former digs and school established at Perkins Cove in 1917, on the windward side of Jackie’s Too restaurant, with views from the breaking surf all the way to the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport. “Had it all winterized. This was built as my father’s first studio.”

T R A I LB LA Z ER S Like the white footbridge just steps away, John’s life and talent connect his father’s influence to our contemporary experience. “Now I’m here. I sit out on my deck at night and watch all the tourists at night. When you shut this door you can’t hear anything. There’s people there and nothing here. I’m sort of a lost soul.” (In spite of this he was working feverishly on gorgeous new work inside the studio.) “I don’t go to any meetings. I’ve turned into a hermit, I guess.” A plaque at his (and his father’s) former studio with the image of a fish and “J. Laurent” still hangs to greet the swirl of the curious–and to tell them that this, unequivocally, was John’s spot to pull up to his front door. Park here at your own risk! Not to worry.

muses, and limpid posies. With over 90 percent of the original décor still in place, Victoria Mansion is the only Herter commission that survives intact.

From May through October, and again during the holiday season, the house buzzes with visitors from all over the world, many of whom arrive by sea on enormous cruise ships. While some make the trip to marvel at the decorative arts collection, others are more interested in the social history of the day and the personal lives of the people who lived in the house, often asking, “Why didn’t the Morses have children?” Unfortunately, Olive and Ruggles Morse left very few clues to their personal lives. If they wrote letters or kept diaries, these documents have

ictoria Mansion is an Italian villastyle home on Danforth Street in Portland. Completed in 1860 as a summer home for Mainers Ruggles and Olive Morse, it was financed by the fortune they made managing and ultimately co-owning luxury hotels in New Orleans. Ahead of the trend for Italianate structures, it was designed by New Haven architect Henry Austin and furnished by the brilliant German master carver Gustave Herter, who chiseled eccentric motifs of lions’ heads, goats’ hooves, and sea monsters in the oak and rosewood

couples sought to limit the size of their families by rationing intercourse, many men patronized prostitutes, contracted gonorrhea, and transmitted the disease to their wives. Ruggles would have had ample opportunity to visit brothels while managing luxury hotels in New Orleans. During the antebellum period, writes historian Anya Jabour, the city “gained a reputation as ‘a perfect Sodom’” by hosting “brothel balls” on Sundays. FAMILY PLANNING ut given the Morses’ hectic business lives, love of travel, and devotion to beautiful objects, it is entirely possible that they remained childless by choice. Their gorgeous Portland mansion was distinctly built for two, with only three bedrooms: one in the master suite, one for guests, and one for the housekeeper. When Olive sold the house to the H. R. Libbys after Ruggles died, the bigger family converted the sitting room, housekeeper’s office, and smoking room into additional sleeping quarters. As a socially mobile couple, Olive and Ruggles were not alone in deciding against a large family, if that is what they did; in fact, the Libbys, with their five children, were the outliers. Although having no children at all

B

was unusual at the time, many couples were having fewer. Over the course of the century, family size shrank from an average of eight to three children—even though, between 1840 and 1880, first contraceptives and then abortion were banned in every state. For middle-class couples, a smaller family meant greater wealth and fewer hardships for women in bearing and raising children; it also showed male restraint, much admired in conservative New England. Victorian couples managed family planning much as was done in previous eras, by practicing abstinence, withdrawal, outercourse, the rhythm method, the use of suppositories in little net bags, prophylactics (especially after Goodyear began manufacturing rubber condoms mid-century), pessaries, or early versions of the diaphragm made of beeswax or rubber, and douches concocted from alum and hemlock bark. Men could buy condoms at the barber shop, but this did not mean contraceptives were socially acceptable. HOME REMEDIES For a time, moralists objected more to contraception than to abortion. They

ALL ABOUT EVE But the research leads in only two directions: either they couldn’t or they wouldn’t. Empathetic visitors frequently note that it would have been a pity if the Morses wanted children but were unable to conceive. In the Victorian period, in addition to a sense of personal loss, infertility carried a social stigma dating back to Cotton Mather’s day. "Childlessness brought an air of suspicion on someone in the colonial period," according to historian Elaine Tyler May. "If a couple was childless, generally the woman was considered to blame. It's interesting to note that those people who were accused of witchcraft were much more likely to be childless.” While the Victorians were more likely to pity a childless woman than to suspect her of witchcraft, they would still assume that it was she, not her husband, whose body was at fault. If a man were impotent, few would know; if he were potent, he was assumed to be fertile, even in the face of contrary evidence. George Washington, for example, concluded that Martha was barren, even though she had four children from a previous marriage. It is likely that George himself was left sterile by a prior bout of smallpox.


JUST SAY NO Besides infertility and family planning, there remains the possibility that the Morses were not sexually intimate. Celibacy within heterosexual unions, while flouting Victorian ideals of motherhood and women’s role within the home, was not unheard of during the period. “According to their own testimonies,” writes Jan Marsh, “many people born in the Victorian age were both factually uninformed and emotionally frigid about sexual matters.” Given that most couples did not have sex before marriage, some must have found themselves incompatible once they shared a bed. Others, such as the Shakers and the residents of Brook Farm, where Louisa May Alcott’s family lived for a time, promoted celibacy as part of a utopian regime of community and equality. “The ideal relationship, in the mind of social purity activists,” according to Daria Kent, “centered around the concept of psychic love.” And feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony

frowned on the practice of sex for pleasure rather than procreation, but accepted the termination of pregnancy at an early stage. Scholars estimate that one in five pregnancies was aborted in the antebellum period. Many women took abortifacients sold as tonics, with tongue-incheek warnings not to use if pregnant. Sarah Knott writes, “Rue and savin were used on both sides of the Atlantic, as was rosemary. Seneca snakeroot, a native remedy, was gathered in the American South and shipped to sellers both in England and in northern American cities. Turpentine was popular in African-American communities.” By the end of the century, abortion was illegal, and cause for scandal. The aptly named Chrimes brothers in London attempted to blackmail women who responded to their advertisements for an abortifacient, but were exposed and jailed. They had files on 10,000 women. Abortifacients could be dangerous, but so was pregnancy. Or they might not work at all, in which case a woman might resort to surgical procedures, performed at home or by a trained professional. Knott comments, “In cities, syringes and rubber goods might be bought, if you knew where to shop.”

THE BIG EASY hat the Morses were purity activists seems unlikely, given the images at Victoria Mansion of the Greek deities Aphrodite, Dionysus, and the ravisher Zeus (known to the Romans as Venus, Bacchus, and Jupiter). That one or both of the Morses were asexual, homosocial, or homosexual is more likely. For gay men, New Orleans presented ample opportunities for liaisons in bars, brothels, and, perhaps, the Morses’ own hotels. Notorious in the literature, “a burly male madam known as Miss Big Nelly reportedly ran a house for male homosexuals, which was the scene of ‘large scale, noisy interracial functions,’" writes NOLA historian Roberts Batson. Gay men not only contributed to the city’s nightlife, but helped preserve its beautiful architecture. As “keepers of culture,” according to Lori Archer, they financed restorations and founded societies to conserve the colonial buildings of the French Quarter—undertakings that accord with Ruggles Morse’s appreciation for revival styles, as seen in the Victoria Mansion’s Second Empire, Renaissance, Gothic, Moorish, and Pompeian themes. And what of Olive Morse? The most overt expression of female homosociality at the time was the Boston marriage, a domestic union that might be amatory or platonic, and was assumed by the public to be the latter. Obviously, Olive did not live with a woman, nor is it likely that she partied publicly in New Orleans, much less Portland. The history of women’s bars only begins in the 1920s, writes historian Nicole Pasulka; before then, “lesbian socializing was limited mostly to parties and gatherings in private homes; women unaccompanied by men were often labeled prostitutes and refused service in bars or restaurants.” Presumably Olive would have been served in the bars she and Ruggles co-owned, though she might have caused a scandal. Hopefully, she did. ■

he first time we heard the ghost story, we were stuck in a car on the Park Loop Road in the hammering rain.

My wife Carolyn and I rode with Acadia, named for the park. Our daughter was nine. We’d met up with friends from New York, and together we’d gotten caught in one of those furious downpours Maine gets a few times every summer, like an attack of locusts in an old movie. All that rain drumming on the roof made it oddly quiet in the car. There was a pause in the conversation. One of our friends leaned forward. “You wanna hear a ghost story?” Carolyn closed her eyes. “Um—sure.” “Have you heard the one about the bride?” Acadia shook her head, and our friend told us a tale of a scary game, a bride, and an old trunk in an attic. She told it quietly. Slowly. She told it well. Acadia leaned forward and wrapped her arm around the headrest to hear better.

How weird to hear this during a bad vacation. A really bad vacation, if you want to know, made possible by being freshly fired from my job at a New York ad agency. The house we’d rented was strange. A vague odor seemed to move from room to room. The dressers had somebody else’s Levis in them. Worst of all, the spiders. You had to

check the beds before you got in. Acadia was old enough to want to go off on her own for walks in the woods, and our days were spent debating how much freedom to give a city kid in the country, and whether keeping tabs on her was for her benefit or for ours. So there in that damp, crowded car, we listened to the ghost story and I started to wonder what would happen if all these elements came together. The bride, the attic, the nine-year-old, spiders gone wild. The rain lifted and we went on with our vacation, but I was haunted, all the way back to Brooklyn. Over the next few months I found myself knotting the elements together into my own story. I called it The Bride in the Box. I decided I’d raise the funds to make a movie. I would direct it. Carolyn, an actor herself, would play an actor. Acadia, now 11, would play the kid. Very meta. Here’s the logline: “During a family vaSUMMERGUIDE 2022 121

One morning, the catering didn’t show up, so Carolyn made meals for everybody between acting in scenes herself.

“There is no moment of my life when you are not a part of me; you hold my heart; you guard my soul; you guide my dreams so tenderly. And if my will might be done, and all I long for could come true, with perfect joy I would choose to share eternity with you.” Dear Reader, The drawing you see above is called For Now and Ever. It is completely composed of dots of ink. After writing the poem, I worked with a quill pen and placed thousands of these dots, one at a time, to create this gift in honor of the love of two of my dearest friends. Now, I have decided to offer For Now and Ever to those who have known and value its sentiment as well. Each litho is numbered and signed by hand and precisely captures the detail of the drawing. As an anniversary, wedding, or Valentine’s gift for your husband or wife, or for a special couple within your circle of friends, I believe you will find it most appropriate.

lthough Dad ran some traps, he didn’t like lobster. He did large bakes for friends and clients, though, and as he was an engineer, he chose an efficient, permanent method: clambake ovens against a ledge in the side of the hill with small cinder-block walls to support two 4' x 6' steel plates. The fuel was old pallets and fallen branches, but when we re-shingled the big house, the old ones made perfect kindling.

When Jonathan Swift said, “He was a bold man that first [ate] an oyster,” we may assume he never made the acquaintance of Homarus americanus—that intimidating, prehistoric sight better known as the Maine lobster.

Clams and mussels. More seaweed. From canvas covers that often burned even when wet, we eventually switched to wide rolls of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

he Wabanaki Confederacy of Tribal Nations has lived here in our ancestral homeland now called Maine for at least 10,000 years. At one time there were upwards of twenty distinct tribes; now there are the Mik’maq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, and Abenaki. Our name Wabanaki derives from our word Chquabanakiyik, “the

people of the dawn.”

Tribal communities are in all corners of the state, and while we are able to reside in our ancestral territory, it is important to remember that the entire state is where our people enjoyed generations of being stewards and living in balance with these beautiful lands and waters. It is no secret that the theft of land from the tribes by those establishing Maine as a state underlies the majority of issues that arose during colonization and the subsequent formation of colonial, state, and federal governments. These conflicts continue to this day, and we

are working through education, advocacy, and policy for increased equity by seeking justice and undoing this harmful legacy. DEEP AND WIDE There are many facets of Wabanaki culture and history woven into modern Maine society. Part of the reason for this is that we are still here, and our culture and philosophies are not something that exists only in the past. We are still evolving, learning, teaching, and thankfully becoming more recognized and valued by our friends and neighbors. There are legislative efforts, WaSUMMERGUIDE 2022 137

The result of this increased awareness and inclusion is the recognition of the many contributions of the Wabanaki people. Our ancient crafts and practices like ash pack baskets and birch bark canoes (the style and shape are still present in modern brands of canoes); flower and doublecurve design motifs in our art and fashion; our music; our methods of harvesting plants and animals; and the ancestral knowledge of how to maximize sustainability of these natural resources to live in balance with one another and the earth are ever present and relevant in our world today. GENIUS LOCI nother Wabanaki influence on the culture of our state is in the many place names that come directly from our languages. These are significant because the words are descriptions of the place or reference folklore or legends, and this sheds light on how our ancestors viewed our homeland. This is useful information for all those who now live in these lands, because when we know how a place is supposed to look and feel, we know better how to treat it to ensure the well-being of the lands and waters which in turn nourish us. There are specific things we can point to when we think about Wabanaki inventions or influence, but I also want to stress the overall worldview of the tribes that will prove to be more crucial for all of Maine to acknowledge and internalize as time goes on. The climate crisis is the biggest existential threat to all of humankind; indigenous wisdom holds the keys to relearning how to be good relatives to the planet. The LGBTQ+ community is under constant threat and persecution; indigenous people have long revered and respected those in this community because of the balanced and sacred way they see the world. Political parties and institutions are often motivated by money and greed; indigenous ways of civics and government are more collaborative and based on consensus. Wabanaki wisdom is timeless and needed now more than ever. I am thankful for these opportunities to keep sharing and advocating for finding value in the roots that sustain me and so many. ■

It could have been a shared enthusiasm for the sweet science, but more likely it was a money connection: Tunney’s wife was the former Polly Lauder, the Carnegie heiress. John, Jackie, and their children visited Tunney on Johns Island and stayed overnight. Their kids played with Tunney’s future-Senator son, John. In a letter to JFK, the elder Tunney wrote: “All the area is still talking about your visit; though the skies were

“We were fourteen or fifteen. He was in town and he went down to the church. My cousin Tommy [Rand] and I sat on the wall in front of the church. It was quite a day. Everyone was excited.” The visit that inhabits MacLeod’s memory lives on in a photograph of young MacLeod with arm outstretched as the President descends the stairs of Boothbay Harbor’s Our Lady Queen of Peace alongside his sister, Patricia. “I didn’t get to shake his hand, but I was five feet away from him!” The grins in the picture say it all. MacLeod, whose mother grew up in Boothbay Harbor, still spends half the year here. Why do things like this matter in the summer of 2022? The Portuguese have a word for it, saudade. It refers to the love that still remains nearby long after something lovely is gone.

THE GENERATION BEFORE The Maine coast enjoys an earlier claim on Kennedy life than is often recognized. Joseph Patrick Kennedy, the family’s patriarch, met his wife, Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald Kennedy, on a family vacation in Old Orchard Beach when they were teenagers. She said she “fell in love at seventeen and never fell out,” and he would later say that he was “never seriously interested in anyone else.” Of course, the elegant and coarse Joe Kennedy was not only our U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, he had an extended affair with actress Gloria Swanson (Sunset Boulevard), among others, and is also remembered, with varying degrees of accuracy, as an anti-Semite and a rumrunner. Thanks a lot, internet.


IS N’T T H AT… were tooling around the Rockland area at the time, looked like drowned rats soaked to the bone.” FROM HERE TO ETERNITY Fast forward to the 21st century, and the Kennedys still wander northward. In 2014 Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s only grandson, traveled just south of where his great-grandparents met a century earlier to present former President George H. W. Bush with the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award at his home in Kennebunkport. Though many recent Kennedy visits to Vacationland have been more business than pleasure— such as Congressman Joseph Kennedy III’s 2020 visit to campaign for President Joe Biden—the legacy that began a hundred years ago on the beaches of Southern Maine continues to intrigue. Whether it comforts or disturbs you, the dazzling pieces of all lost summers fit together in a grand design.

On Your Honor PICTURED: OLIVE HERB LOAF FROM BLACK CROW BAKERY BY GWEN THOMPSON

In Maine, integrity is still essential to the business plan.

T

hings were looking sweet at Swallowtail Farm and Creamery of North Whitefield when disaster struck. Owners Lauren and Sean Pignatello were thrilled that a butter-making segment of Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted shot at their creamery was to be aired on National Geographic.

B Y GWEN THOMPSON

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’VE GOT TILL IT’S GONE Then, after midnight in the depths of February, as Swallowtail posted on Facebook: “Someone destroyed our farmstand with their tractor/bucket loader.” Motive unknown. “They used the neighbor’s driveway to get a running start to demolish… and ruin a large portion of how we make our business run and pay our bills…We have had our little farm stand up in front of our house for

12 years. It was self service and honor system. We sell our eggs, dairy, herbal products, and sometimes meats and baked goods...


Z EITGEIST This past summer during the pandemic, we sold our neighbors vegetables and fruits and whole chickens. I’ve found great joy… finding all of your thank you notes over the years.” GOOD WILL? PRICELESS. ot to mention new meaning in the term “customer loyalty” when a GoFundMe campaign raised nearly double the goal of $15,000 to help them rebuild. “It was amazing,” Lauren Pignatello told the Lincoln County News. “People stopping by every day, giving us checks and cash and food and grain for the animals and donating to the GoFundMe.” On my honor, “I don’t even know the woman who started it.” With the farm stand rebuilt, the crowdfunding surplus invested in additional greenhouses, and an online shop established, the convenience of Swallowtail’s honor system still rivals “the store that never closes.” As they posted on Facebook this spring: “Our farmstand is open every day 24 hours self serve by honor system. We’ve got some fun things in there as well as lots of our dairy and herbs…I’ll be in the Netherlands for the month…and our online shop is closed, but the farmstand is ALWAYS open!” MAKES US FEEL GOOD INSIDE In a world where some of the best minds of a generation seem out to beat the system, Kennebunkport’s Honor System Parking lot off Dock Square (a monument for decades, even after the fancy new paving job) sets a reassuring tone. “There’s the pottery place in South Berwick,” a friend says. To know them is to love them. “They’re as much a part of Maine’s roadscape as a ‘Miss Town Name’ diner,” a summer Mainer says. You may not hit the brakes in time when you first spot the “Eggs” sign nailed to a pine tree alongside Hollywood Boulevard (a dirt road, of course) in Whitefield, but you know you’re going to come back. Some are as seasonal as fresh-picked flowers in mason jars in North Falmouth or as portable as a cooler of oysters set out on the brick sidewalks of the West End. FLYING PROUD Others, like Black Crow Bakery in Litchfield, have roots reaching back for generations. “I was a chiropractor and I hated it,” says Mark Mickalide of Black Crow, “so I 148 P O R T L A N D MAGAZINE

My grandfather was a baker, and he was long dead by then, but his ovens were still there in Lewiston, so I took some of the bricks for an homage to him and built the ovens where I am now, thirty years later.”

AHEAD OF THE CURVE But if you’re looking for service with a smile at any of these Maine businesses operating on the age-old honor system, you’ll have to do the smiling yourself. When COVID-19 took hold in 2020, “We didn’t have to change anything, because we’re all set up for selfservice already,” says Mickalide. “People didn’t have to deal with anybody to buy bread. They could be the only person in here doing their shopping.” While traditional retailers scrambled to fig-

r even better. “Our semi-retirement plan was to get rid of the wholesale side entirely, and the pandemic allowed us to do that sooner than we’d planned, with more people suddenly wanting to come out here rather than go to stores,” Mickalide says. In fact, “rising grain prices are causing us more problems than the pandemic. Flour’s gone up 50 percent in the last couple months, but since I don’t have to pay rent or employees, I can weather it better.” And as fuel prices skyrocket too, Black Crow is in the enviable position of not needing to resume wholesale deliveries, because “our increase in [retail] customers held steady coming out of the pandemic, even if with not quite the fever (pun intended) it took off initially.” Mickalide says nearby Milkhouse Farmstore had a similar experience. “It got really busy out at their place during the pandemic too, and has only tapered off a bit since then.” Although Milkhouse beef, pork, and dairy products are sold in stores from Kittery to Norway to Bangor to Blue Hill, with half a dozen retail outlets in Greater Portland, the low overhead of operating their own farm store on the honor system gives customers who make the pilgrimage to their big red barn in Monmouth the advantage of wholesale pricing.

TAMING THE PAPER TIGER onor-system businesses have always practiced what pharmacy, big-box, and supermarket chains have only recently implemented with self-checkout registers. “If I had to pay somebody to stand there and take money, it wouldn’t be worth it to me,” says Mickalide. “We did have employees for about ten years, and it was a misery. I made an addition error once on somebody’s Social Security, and it took six years to get that worked out, because it didn’t match their W-2 form. It was a Kafkaesque nightmare.”

People sometimes don’t bother to make change, or they’ll send a $50 or $100 bill in the mail to say ‘We really appreciate what you’re doing.’” ■

(Maine is 94 percent white; East Bayside is 60 percent white, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.) “A rising tide lifts all boats,” the saying goes, and in addition to its invigorating effect on East Bayside, Rising Tide is a good, solid brewery. On a windy afternoon visit, we drank good beer and ate good food in a comfortable setting in a terrific location. (In spring or fall, Rising Tide’s outdoor patio is bolstered by exceptional heaters.)

emember 2012? Adele reigned over the music world. Marvel and Batman movies dominated the box office. Joe Biden was in the White House. All these things still hold true ten years later.

But for the Portland neighborhood of East Bayside, 2012 seems like a lifetime ago. Urban renewal policies of the 1950s and 1960s had taken their toll, as much of the neighborhood’s historic charm and housing, including its Italian and Jewish quarters, was torn down and replaced with hous-

ing projects like Kennedy Park. Starting in 1967, more houses were torn down to make way for the new Franklin Street Arterial, which isolated the neighborhood and made it noisy and undesirable to middle- and upper-class families. As the neighborhood’s fortunes waned, its low industrial buildings mostly sat vacant. URBAN REVERSAL That all changed in 2012, when Rising Tide Brewing Company opened its doors on Fox Street, spurring the neighborhood’s transformation into Yeast Bayside, which now includes at least six breweries and

DRINK THE RAINBOW Part of Rising Tide’s wide appeal is that there’s a beer or beverage for everyone. Zephyr is a flavorful, balanced, hoppy American IPA respectful of the style. At 6.5% ABV, it packs a punch without being a knockout punch. The Cutter, their double IPA (8% ABV), is well-balanced and, like the Zephyr, smoother than anticipated. Watchroom (6.5% ABV), a dark pecan oatmeal stout with strong notes of toasty pecan, provides a nice alternative to the IPAs, as does Spinnaker (4.5% ABV), a hefeweizen with noticeable hints of banana, warm spices, and a creaminess that felt unique in Portland’s crowded beer scene. Other noteworthy offerings include the Pisces gose (3.6% ABV), a forerunner to the sour boom, with a wonderful sea-salt quality and tart lemon and floral aromas to balance it out. It drinks like you're only a few blocks from the ocean, and with its low-alcohol content, makes the perfect antidote to a hot summer day. Lastly, a portion of the proceeds from their Maine Island Trail Ale (MITA) supports the namesake organization’s stewardship of our coastal islands. MITA, Rising Tide’s most popular beer, is a 4.3% ABV session IPA that honors the spirit of the session style: clear and crisp, with stronger flavor than anticipated. The new Galley menu leans toward sandwiches, burgers, and appetizers. The Pig-witch was a particular hit. The burgers and fries, like Rising Tide’s beers, are delicious and professionally crafted. The Mediterranean salad (with grilled chicken) is a filling meal, and the falafel burger is a tasty vegan option. SUMMERGUIDE 2022 155

Dinner for two, with beer and including tip, is $50 or so. Rising Tide’s location is a 10 out of 10. Our pre-drinks walk took us down Diamond Street to the Bayside Trail and up a set of rough stairs to the dramatic overlook at the end of the Eastern Promenade called Major Charles Loring Memorial Park. BLAZE OF GLORY hree flags—the U.S., Maine, and POW/MIA—snapped in the wind. In November 1952, with U.N. troops pinned down by Chinese artillery, Maine native Loring—the namesake of Loring Air Force Base—answered the call, as he had done on 105 occasions during World War II and the Korean War. On this particular mission, he divebombed his crippled aircraft into the enemy’s gun emplacements, sacrificing his own life to save the lives of countless U.N. ground troops. His posthumous Medal of Honor augmented a résumé that already included a Distinguished Flying Cross and a stint in a German POW camp. In 2000, Portland created Loring Memorial Park, which looks down on Loring’s childhood Bayside neighborhood. The park features four nine-foot-high granite posts, each carved with a single word: spirit, integrity, presence, and heart. From the Memorial, North Street brought us to a spectacular sunset view from Fort Sumner Park, where Mt. Washington—the tallest mountain in New England—was visible 65 miles in the distance. We continued downhill on a piece of trail and the charming Marion Street. A short walk north on Washington Avenue brought us to Fox Street and an easy downhill finish to Rising Tide. Rising Tide balances the edginess of its gritty roots in industrial Portland with the warmth of a spacious warehouse-type building where a wide variety of beers and food, welcoming waitstaff, unobtrusive yet cool music, and outdoor patio give it a spirit anyone can enjoy. Neither the beer nor the space is flashy or avant-garde, but it has heart. Perhaps Major Loring would approve of the new life it has brought to his old neighborhood. ■

aine is an altered state. As Miles Davis would say, “So What?” Louis Armstrong “was a well-

known viper, the name given to jazz musicians who smoked cannabis (after the hissing sound produced while inhaling smoke),” writes Natalie Oganesyan in the Daily Trojan. “Armstrong first tried cannabis…in the 1920s and used the substance throughout his career, before performances and recordings.” According to a tribute on Vailjazz. org, Armstrong’s sometime manager Milton “Mezz” Mezzrow, a Jewish clarinetist from Chicago who became a fixture of the Harlem jazz scene, was such a “reliable supplier” and champion of cannabis as a performance-enhancing drug that “‘mezz,’ ‘the mighty mezz,’ and ‘mess-rolls’ all became slang for marijuana in the jazz community.” In his 1946 autobiography Really the Blues Mezz describes playing under the influence: “All the notes came easing out of my horn like they'd already been made up…so all I had to do was blow a little and

send them on their way, one right after the other, never missing, never behind time, all without an ounce of effort.”

IN THE MOMENT Oganesyan cites “music psychologist Daniel Levitin in The World in Six Songs… Tetrahydrocannabinol, known as THC…disrupts short-term memory and enables musicians to be fully in the moment, allowing them to connect with their music and zero in on each note they play.” As “legendary stoner” Willie Nelson told Rolling Stone in a 2019 interview, “You don’t dwell on shit a lot. The short-term thing they talk about is probably true, but it’s probably good for you…there’s nothing I can do about what happened a while ago. Nothing I can do about what’s going to happen in a minute. Right now? I can try to pretty much control everything.” Maybe temporal distortion is at the heart of the sensation—the astonishment at feeling time slow down. The beloved legend that Ted Williams could slow things down so much he could read the spin on a curve ball may reveal more about us than his eyesight. Movie buffs love the slow-motion sequences in the Robert

Redford movie The Natural—was the production crew, at least, lighting up? This year, viewers are streaming Russian Doll, which also plays with time. Literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin calls these unlocked moments “great time.” If cannabis has, in secret or otherwise, helped musicians get their groove on, maybe other endeavors (such as résumé writing) might benefit as well. Hang on—I just googled “The 59th Street Bridge Song” by Simon and Garfunkel: “Slow down, you move too fast... Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy.” REEFER MADNESS OR REEFER GENIUS? Maine’s own Edna St. Vincent Millay, a notorious smoker and member of the Provincetown Players (read into that what you will), slowed the world down early on to hear “the ticking of Eternity” in her poem “Renascence.” How does Millay influence us today? At the low ebb, words from “Renascence” slowly swirl around the dome at The Maine Mall. My Scottish terrier looks over my shoulder into my screen: “Maybe it wasn’t a candle she was burning at both ends after all.” ■ SUMMERGUIDE 2022 159

Portland Two Ways Serve yourself a flight of the city.

S PHOTOS BY MILENA CILCAGNI

ometimes I find myself longing for simpler days when I spent my paycheck on game nights instead of bills, and my most pressing responsibility was beating a friend’s high score. At Arcadia, those days don’t feel so out of reach. Owner Dave Aceto—a true kid at heart—has made it his mission to bring the fun-filled arcade crawls of our youth to Portland’s adult nightlife scene since 2014.

On Monday nights, you’ll find him refereeing lively Skee-Ball tournaments at the four lanes downstairs and chatting with customers, making for what is easily the most fun to be had on a work night. Aceto says his fond memories of summers spent at arcades by the Old Orchard Beach pier inspired him to begin offering the same experience to gaming enthusiasts here in the Old Port. “I never really felt like I fit into the Portland nightlife scene, and I wanted to find a place where I could just be me. People play video and arcade games all over the world—why not bring that to Portland?”

B Y MILEN A CALCAG N I

CALLING ALL QUARTERS After the pandemic closed the bar’s original doors on Preble Street, it opened new ones just down the road, breathing life back into the former home of Port City Music Hall. I was devastated when the Music Hall closed, but now my crew and I can revisit the scene of our first concert together back in high school on a whole new nostalgia trip. Where to begin? What was formerly the Music Hall’s general-admission floor is now the main arcade, filled nearly wallto-wall with games without feeling overwhelming or cramped. I lose myself in the old classics I grew up with like PacMan, Pong, and pinball, rocking along to my favorite songs with Guitar Hero. Downstairs I can be a karate hero in Double Dragon or a star athlete in NBA Jam. Most of the games cost as little as 25 cents per play, making Arcadia more bud-

get-friendly than modern arcade chains. I suspect my loose change won’t be lying around for long… CHECK YOUR CHILDREN AT THE DOOR Despite its family-friendly offerings, Arcadia remains a 21+ venue, and whenever I visit other arcades, I’m immediately reminded why. Their layout that opens to a sleek, contemporary bartop and cozily inviting lounge area is the antidote to the sensory overload I dread in modern arcades. Relaxing there between games and being able to enjoy conversation with other patrons and the friendly staff is a welcome change from shouting over loud machines and screaming children. Arcadia manages to merge the vibrant and electrifying spirit of the innocent fun I crave from traditional arcades with a more adult trajectory. All this gaming has worked up our appetites, so we order one of Arcadia’s freshly made pizzas—always perfectly melty and delicious— topped with pepperoni and sausage, and sample their rotating menu of expertly crafted cocktails and local brews. I love that as a non-drinker in a nightlife scene overrun with bars, I SUMMERGUIDE 2022 165


AFTER DARK can dive into girls’ night here and not feel out of place. Video games aren’t just for kids anymore, but when I want to feel like a kid again, I’ve found my Neverland. Grown-ups who work hard play hard at Arcadia. AVAST YE! Centuries after British Naval Commander Samuel Blyth and United States Naval Lieutenant William Burrows battled to their demise off the coast of Maine in the War of 1812, their spirits live on in the Old Port at their namesake speakeasy where the allure of American jazz clubs and the mischief of seafaring adventures collide. As I’m guided to my seat by warm lamplight through a sea of patrons, I feel as though I’m walking through an 1800s seaport. Yet much of the decor, the bar, and the steel gleam of cocktail shakers twirled effortlessly by Blyth & Burrows’s skilled mixologists suggests a lavish evening in Art Deco-era New York. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic, yet almost as robust as their cocktail menu. SPICING IT UP s part of their ode to the history of mixology, Blyth & Burrows offers a selection of clarified cocktails the bartenders are eager to explain as a centuries-old process of “milk washing” stronger liquors to reduce their astringency, producing a smoother drink. My friends love Spice Trade, a tequila cocktail blending bright citrus and tomato with warm cumin and paprika to create a cocktail like no other we’ve encountered. We feel like explorers ourselves as we navigate the menu of uncharted cocktails and oceans of spirits, wines, and beers. The dory-sized food menu means they can focus on perfecting what they offer every time. We lose our battle to avoid filling up on the pillowy pretzel bites with sweet Maine maple mustard, yet can still easily conquer the tender lamb kebabs and buttery chicken curry popovers. (Pro tip: the tzatziki they're served with is delicious with the lamb too!) Have a taste of the high seas on dry land when your next voyage lands you at Blyth & Burrows. ■

inger-songwriter Ani DiFranco has been blazing a trail for women and members of the LGBTQ+ community in the music industry since the 1990s. Catch the Righteous Babe in action at the State Theatre on July 30.

When asked about the future of feminism in a Radio Free Maine interview at Bates College in 1997, you said you “hope more young women—and men—are going to use

INTE RVIEW B Y MILEN A CALCAG N I

the term [feminist] to describe themselves.” Twenty-five years later, are we there yet?

Have we made progress? Yes! Is there a long way to go? There sure is! We’re still not in possession of our full civil rights, and it’s scary that in the United States in 2022, it’s so hard for young women to become themselves. Goddess bless all the young feminists out there for staying the course. It’s hard to swim upstream when there’s a lot of energy pushing us backwards. In 1999 you famously declared that you're not "Angry Anymore." Is that still the case?

My anger has returned somewhat—it's a sign that you’re awake. You have to channel it in constructive ways and not let it eat you. We’re all so overwhelmed these days, it's hard to feel hope. This is why I do what I do, and go into the COVID world and gather people who give a shit to stand together. One night of feeling joy and knowing you’re not alone can be fuel for a year of risking your life for what you believe. How do you feel seeing other women and LGBTQ+ artists like LP following your lead and embracing their identities?

I love LP, and it’s everything to me! Turn

on the TV and look at who you see. There are people of all colors, cultures, genders, and sexual orientations who weren’t represented there before. It really is an awakening. It's painful but worth it—that's just how awakenings go. Do you think your path to being your most authentic self would be smoother today than it was when you were growing up?

I'm 51, and for my first forty years I felt like one of the only people talking openly about white supremacy, the patriarchy, classism, and other issues in polite conversation. Now you hear these words in mainstream media, which means the realities they point to are becoming visible, so we can address them collectively. The momentum in the last ten years could have made my path and that of so many others much easier back then. At one point it seemed like you were writing an album a year. As you’ve grown into your true self, how has your writing process changed?

Recently when I’m writing songs, I’m more aware than when I was young not just of what I see and feel, but how, where, and when I say it. When I was writing “Play God” a few years back, which is a song about reproductive freedom, I was picturing my conservative relatives and trying to write a song they could stand to listen to for three and a half minutes. Over the past twenty years, our Associate Publisher has heard you perform at Keene State College in NH, at Tanglewood in MA, and at Merrill Auditorium here in Portland. What will you do differently at the State Theatre in July for your long-standing fans?

My setlist changes depending on where I am that day, in that moment. I feel now like I’m as in the zone as ever, doing something life-affirming as a job and making music to uplift myself and others. I imagine that's what keeps fans coming. Are you looking forward to returning to Maine?

Yes, I love Maine! I fantasize about settling around these parts, enjoying nature and tasting incredibly pure water. It's beautiful what you have! We can’t wait to see the show!

but with more credible character actors. And here you are, the sophisticated guest star, tooling to the end of the prettiest road in Cape Porpoise in your Tesla. Talk about a hook-up. Way out here, it’s the views that are electric, the design eclectic. “It’s a modified cape, built in 1951,” says listing agent Betsy Coughlan of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. “The present owner bought it in 2015.”

Think Cabot Cove, but with more convincing character actors. Yikes, why sell it? Blue shutters and views of the local lobster fleet in the foreground with Town Dock, Trott Island, Goat Island Light, the mouth of the harbor, and views of Vaughn Island opposite the ghost of the former Shawmut Inn. It’s not just a case of “cute house, in-

credible view.” It’s precisely because it’s not a McMansion that it strikes the heart. There is zero phoniness here. Though 58 Langsford Road was built in 1950, it seems a throwback to the 1930s. Maybe it’s a copy of the dear house that was once built on this spot or some oth-

WATER WONDERLAND It’s the kind of house where you feel you’re surrounded by water, even if you aren’t. You sense this even when you pull in the driveway. “These are exquisite views of Cape Porpoise Harbor,” Coughlan says. “The float is new, and it comes with a mooring.” Just tie up your Boston Whaler right here at the end of your pier.

Visit the Kennebunks Let’s Talk.

We were driving the coast, so to speak, I think maybe in a station wagon. He fell in love with wherever we went, and now he’d fallen in love with Maine. We talked excitedly in the car. We were looking for a house on the water. We did examine the place! We kept driving north along the water until I don’t really remember the name of the town. We went quite a ways up, actually, because it was so beautiful. To John, each place was more beautiful than the last." —Interview with Yoko Ono by Colin W. Sargent, Summerguide 2003.

“Poetry? What does that mean?” “Poems, Mom,” Elaine said. “I wrote some poems and took his class.” “The potato one,” the poet said, “I remember was good.” Elaine’s mom turned to her. “Potatoes? You hate potatoes.” “I hate living on a farm up in nowhere.” “Is this true?” Elaine’s mother said to the poet. “True as in she wrote a poem?” the poet said. “Or true in some other way? I remember she used the word ‘potato’ followed by ‘blossoms’. It sounds both comic and nostalgic. It reminded me of the white and pink flowers in the fields where I grew up.” “What the hell are you talking about?” Elaine’s mom said. “For God’s sake.” “Maybe Elaine’s a writer. Maybe she should go back to college.” “College? She’s so dumb she used my credit card and the bank called me.”

Elaine’s mom sat down. “She can’t even run away right.” “Maybe she wanted you to find her.” “She’s crazy. We can’t afford college.” The poet said, “We should look into that.” Summer wind came through the window, touching their clothes and their faces. The poet is gone. Elaine’s mother is gone. Elaine graduated from USM, traveled widely teaching English for the Peace Corps, retired from teaching high school in Portland, Maine, after twentyone years, and passed away two years later. She was loved by her students, and her memory is cherished by her daughter and her husband. There are a few of us who know what the poet did for Elaine Porter. She never saw him again and thanked him in letters which are archived somewhere turning to dust. I think of Elaine running away from her past, sitting before a battered typewriter in the Gorham Public Library writing her future with the words “potato blossoms.” ■

ter, and told him that though she’d attended his classes, and had written some song lyrics in the past, she was not a poet. She’d been traveling through town, saw his face in the newspaper, typed out five poems, lied on the application, and applied to attend. She told him she’d dropped out of community college. The poet smiled his famous sly smile. “Guess you were supposed to be here.” The woman was in her early twenties and wore the same clothes she’d worn all week. She spoke quickly, clipping her sentences into phrases that banged into each other. She asked him where he was going. He told her he was going to Prince Edward Island to visit family. She said she’d always wanted to see the island, and if he had gas money, she could

drive him there. “Thank you,” he said, “but a friend is coming.” “It’s just that I can’t go back,” she said. “Are you in trouble?” the poet said in his usual calm way. A broad-shouldered older woman in faded coveralls entered the dining hall and walked toward the table. “I have to go,” Elaine said, but stayed at the table with her back turned to the approaching woman. When she was close, the poet saw a resemblance. The woman looked at him. “You the reason she ran away? You’re older than I am.” “Elaine was a student in my poetry class.” (Continued on page 254)

ne summer, a poet traveled from Utah to USM in Gorham, Maine, to teach writing for a week. If I tell you his name, this becomes a different kind of story, so I won’t. The poet was a popular teacher, and after the last class his students brought many bottles of wine. He read from his new book, and the afternoon became an evening that went long into the night. The next morning, the poet sat at a table in the campus dining hall drinking tea and looking out an open window at an old oak. The warming breeze carried the acerbic scent of the tree. A young woman sat down. She reminded him of her name, Elaine Por-
