French Daisy Love Poem He loves me a little.

He loves me a lot.

He loves me passionately.

He loves me madly.

He loves me not at all.

While the American daisy is simply “yes” or “no” (“he loves me, he loves me not”), the French daisy is a flower of sensuously and subtly nuanced love.

For little French girls every daisy is a love poem. The French girl plucking her way around the center is casting her love spell, anticipating the last petal which speaks her lover’s true heart.

Wild daisies commonly have twenty-four to thirty-six petals.

The thirty-third petal is the peak of passion for the French girl as well as the desired outcome for the English girl.

Kingfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ski Museum not only â&#x20AC;&#x153;chronicles Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich and influential ski history, but also celebrates Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing days,â&#x20AC;? says museum president Bruce Miles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maine wood and leather manufacturing was central to ski innovation during the 1900s,â&#x20AC;? as displays of Maine-made Paris wooden skis and Bass ski boots remind us.

Every Saturday during winter, 84 lucky guests take fine dining to new heights at the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peak Lodge, offering specialty menus with fresh, local ingredients and wine dinners.

Capisic Escapades â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could skate from Capisic Street, from the bridge, all the way to Lucas Street where the pond opened up,â&#x20AC;? remembers DiMilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On the Water manager Steven DiMillo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You meandered down the smaller part of the stream that led into the pond. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d skate under moonlight. No lights.â&#x20AC;?

Capisic Pond, this frozen slice of adolescence, is almost overgrown by cattails now but for some rough memories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big kids would burn the reeds and brush along the edge. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do it for the thrill, just to be mischievous. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to stay away from the spring. You could fall in. My dad and I went through the ice onceâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;up to my nipples.â&#x20AC;?

Luckily, DiMillo and his pals were always under the watchful eye of his mom, just up the hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great way for them to babysit. Just send us down to the ice. We played pond hockey with pond rules [no Hoyle here]. Crack the Whipâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;I forgot about that! God love yaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the end.â&#x20AC;?

Not for the weak of arms, Crack the Whip sends anyone at the tail end of this handin-hand chain skittering across the ice.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There used to be a pond near where East End Community School is now. It was called the Harvey Grounds, and they used to flood it so it was very skatable. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d basically take off your shoes, lace up your skates, and hit the rink. When I returned one time, my shoes were gone.â&#x20AC;?

Former U.S. Rep., Maine governor, and Maine Supreme Court justice Joseph E. Brennan knows just when to pause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home without shoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of pairs of shoes to go around in a working-class neighborhood. My new shoes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit nearly as well as the old ones, but they got the job done! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember being asked to cut the ribbon to the new rink beside the Expo. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about skating! But my crime floated back to me, what it meant to need to do that.â&#x20AC;?

What does it take to make the rink?

Friendly Skies

Did Portland miss the boat? Though we were certainly part of OpSail 1812, when British ships raided the Maine coast, we are not a stop for the tall ships of OpSail 2012 as they commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. Why were we left out if we were part of OpSail 2000? To reach the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, call 874-8941. To see former transportation director Jeff Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer to this question, visit portlandmonthly.com/portmag/2011/12/notsail2012.

Following the inspiration of New Jersey-born project manager and architect Jim Stanislaski (who now lives in Natick, Massachusetts), the Jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent expansion takes cues from all over the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The historical imagery of log drives down the Kennebec River and the modern-day ship building at Bath Iron Works informed the design ofâ&#x20AC;Ś the wood roof with its steel tree column supports. Our senior designer, Todd MacPherson, grew up in Winslow and visited historic forts as a kid,â&#x20AC;? so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense of that, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used some of the older timber-framed buildings in the Old Port for context as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We questioned everything during the design to make the building as sustainable as possibleâ&#x20AC;Ś For example, the polished concrete floor is also the structural floor; this avoids the expense and environmental impact of providing a separate floor material.â&#x20AC;?

The Stanislaski method includes a further inspiration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite architect is [Swiss-born] Le Corbusier (1887-1965). As an urban designer, and architect, he constantly experimented with new designs, structural systems, and mathematical proportions.â&#x20AC;?

The result? Maine under one roofâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;a truly unique addition, though we wonder why baggage claim and ground transportation werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relocated to the Jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center from the extreme east endâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;quite a hike now from the new wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gates. Was the inspiration for this additional trekâ&#x20AC;Śa boyhood march across Baxter State Park?

American Gothic

The Western Prom is a nice place to own a chickenâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the scratch. Pictured: a Rhode Island red at the corner of Carroll and Vaughn streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, 24 permits for chicken have been issued citywide,â&#x20AC;? says City Hall license administrator Janice Gardiner.

With no one crying fowl.

FAMOUS BUY LINE

For the buy-it-now price of $499 on eBay, Rudy Valleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal script for his 1929 film The Vagabond Lover, including the croonerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emendations and private liner notes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise the eBay seller is from Maine. Vallee grew up in Westbrook and kept a rustic getaway on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kezar Lake, where he threw big parties for his band every summer,â&#x20AC;? says local musician Mark Finks.

William Bordenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, novelist Lady Mary Spears, is joined by French General Charles de Gaulle as she inspects the HadfieldSpears Ambulance Unit she founded in France. She was 17 during her first summer in Maine at Borden Cottage.

The Winter Palace: A French Chateau on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago designed for the Bordens by Richard Morris Hunt. The Carlyle replaced the mansion in the early 1960s.

Pictured below, per the Imperial War Museum, London: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lady Spears (centre) with Sir Edward Spears (left) in December 1942 in Lebanon on the steps of their residenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;that of the First British Minister to the Levant. To the right of Sir Edward stands Henry Hopkinson, private secretary to the Permanent UnderSecretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Sir Alexander Cadogan; Richard Casey, Minister Resident in the Middle East, is to the right of Lady Spears, with Mrs. Ethel Casey to her left.â&#x20AC;?

Adlai cheers on his alma mater Princeton as they play Harvard in Cambridge with his three sons, who would eventually all attend Harvard. From left, Borden, Adlai III, Adlai, and John. It’s likely all visited Borden Cottage.

Lady Spears’s youngest daughter, Ellen Borden, married future two-time Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson II. They are pictured hosting a costume ball in Chicago early in their 21-year marriage, which broke up in 1949. From left, Adlai, Ellen, Lawrence Williams, and Harry Knott.

Adlai Stevenson III served as a representative from Illinois in the US Senate 1970-1981, credited with the International Banking Act. He was co-chairman of HuaMei Capital Company, the first US-Chinese joint venture in financial services.

There’s an Adlai Stevenson IV (TV journalist turned investment banker), and an Adlai Stevenson V, born in 1994. Adlai Stevenson I was Vice President of the United States from 1893-1897.

18 ROSEMARY LANE Jonesport,$229,000

Where: “It’s in the center of Jonesport Village, on Moosabec Reach, right across from the marine supply store. The road that dead-ends at the water. The property is on the right,” says William Milliken of Jonesport Realty.

What you can see from here: “When you look south you see Beals Island. And if you look west, you see Beals Island Bridge that connects Jonesport to Beals. East is open ocean, Mark Island, and Seguin Island. You see working boats; Jonesport is very much a working harbor. The lobster boats outnumber pleasure boats 20-to-1.”

Show me the magic: “This house is the last built on the shore, so you see what you want to see, not what you don’t.

There’s great craftsmanship–granite counter tops, an allwood interior, and two baths. The bunkhouse over the garage has a bath, too. Did I mention it comes with a mooring? You’ll be looking out at your own boat.”

Backstory: “We have the largest fleet of lobster boats in eastern Maine. We also have a huge July fourth celebration where we host the world’s fastest lobster boat races.”

Special consideration: “What we lack here is what you would expect to have in, say, Boothbay. When you go to our coffee shops, you get two choices: regular or decaf. But we’re happy about that.

Taxes: $2,609

818 SEASHORE AVENUE Peaks Island, $445,000

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: JONESPORT REALTY; FILE; REALTY OF MAINE; PORT ISLAND REALTY (2)

Where is it: “Take a left on Island Avenue and follow it beyond Peaks Island Elementary School to Trefethen-Evergreen Improvement Sailing Club. Turn right at Trefethen and go up the hill. Bear right onto Seashore Avenue and follow it by Ice House Pond,” says Alyce Bauerle of Port Island Realty.

34 OCEAN VIEW DRIVE

Frenchboro, Frenchboro,$209,000 $209,000

Where: “You get off the Captain Henry Lee ferry from Bass Harbor, drive off the boat ramp, and take a right onto Ocean View Drive,” says Mark Ross of Realty of Maine. “Go around the harbor about two tenths of a mile, and it’s on the left-hand side. The road runs between the dock and the house.”

What you can see from here: “It’s spectacular. You have the Frenchboro Congregational Church across the harbor and the Frenchboro Elementary School. Then you look up the gut and see the ferry pier.”

Show me the magic: “It used to have a restaurant out of the basement called John’s Coffee shop, and it was in business for 32 years when it closed in 2009. The lobstermen went there every morning to plan their day, and they were very upset when it closed down.”

Backstory: “The island of Frenchboro was chosen by the Oprah Winfrey Show as one of the three Unique Places to Live in 2009. Oprah’s producer and camera crew interviewed the Lunts (the previous owners) in their home. They later interviewed via Skype with Oprah.”

Special Consideration: “It takes 35 to 40 minutes on the ferry.

The ferry only runs once a day off season and two different boats in season.”

Taxes: $1,076

What can you see from here: “You have commanding water views of Hussey Sound and Long Island. You can see Cliff and Jewel Island and the open ocean. Pleasure boats and tankers come through here. You can also see Halfway Rock Lighthouse.”

Show me the magic: “The screened-in porch for relaxing and eating dinner here is unforgettable. Step out the door and you’re on the rocks. In summer, you can swim out to the raft in Spar Cove.”

Backstory: “Peaks Island is a destination for people in the summer. It’s also a great place for people to live year-round and still be able to commute to Portland for work.”

Special Consideration: “The deed says you have the right to use the seashore. [The house] hasn’t been mucked with. It’s an original turn-ofthe-century cottage, built in 1905.”

Taxes: $6,041 WINTERGUIDE

1410 RIVER ROAD Calais, $234,900

Where: “It’s eight or nine miles south of town, just before St. Croix Drive,” says Billy Howard of Due East Real Estate.

What you can see from here: “You’re looking toward St. Andrews, New Brunswick. You see a lot of fishing and pleasure boats. Now and then you’ll see big tankers going to the Canadian side called Port of Bayside. They have ships from Canada to Cuba steaming in here.”

Show me the magic: “It was built in 1850. It has 300 feet of shorefront and almost four acres of land. The interior has hardwood floors, big open windows looking out to the water, and a wraparound porch.”

Special consideration: “We have a huge amount of Canadian traffic coming through here. When the American dollar is strong, they come here. If the Canadian dollar is strong, we go there.”

Taxes: $2,900

Backstory: “They used to ship granite all over the world from this area of red beach in Calais. Down on the beach everything is red: red rock and red soil.”

R E A L E S TAT E 893 NORTH LUBEC ROAD Lubec, $169,000

Where: “It’s four miles exactly after you turn from Route 189 turn onto North Lubec Road. It’ll be on the right-hand side,” says Greg Walston of Due East Real Estate in Lubec.

What you can see from here: “You can see Eastport and Cooper Island. You can see the ship traffic into Eastport at the freight pier and lobster and scallop boats in the bay during the season.”

Show me the magic: “It’s one of the older homes in North Lubec, built in 1900. It’s an old farmhouse, with a lot of its rustic charm.”

Special consideration: “We have all kinds of skills, interests, incomes. We’re quite an eclectic town.”

DUE EAST REAL ESTATE

DUE EAST REAL ESTATE (2)

Backstory: “The SummerKeys Music program is probably the most prominent activity that goes on in the summer. It gives adults who have an interest in music on an amateur basis a chance to hone their skills and meet other musicians their own age. They have world-class instructors. Every Wednesday there’s a concert at the Congregational Christian Church, and it’s well attended.”

As the man and his brand celebrate 100 years, here are some surprises.

id you know there are no fewer than 62 separate L.L. Bean retail stores in mainland China? If you’re in Shanghai or Beijing and need to replace your fly rod, here’s how you pronounce L.L. Bean: Li Ang Bi En.

COURTESY L.L. BEAN

Having trouble parking near the Forbidden City? You can buy Maine-inspired L.L. Bean gear as far west as the Xinjiang region. Google Maps recommends the following route from the Freeport store: Go west until you hit Seattle; find a boat to Hawaii, then stop in Shanghai before continuing west on the Hurong Expressway, but be careful: The road changes names a few times. In all, it’s barely 14,000 miles as we re-imagine the brand’s international cache for the 21st century..

Jump across the East China Sea to Japan, with 20 L.L. Bean stores. What does a customer in Tokyo buy? According to spokesperson Mary Rose MacKinno, “The top selling items are: Oxford shirts, goose down outerwear, lined Hurricane shirts, Scotch plaid shirts, Stormchaser 3-in-1 jackets, double ‘L’ polo shirts, lined double ‘L’ chinos, bean Boots, and the Signature Hunter plaid shirts.” How do you pronounce L.L. Bean in Japanese? Eru Eru Been.

Who wears L.L. Bean? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andy Griffith, Art Garfunkel, Barbara Walters, Carl Reiner, Chevy Chase, David Letterman, Henry Kissinger, Ethel Kennedy, George and Barbara Bush, Henry Winkler, John Glenn, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Paul Simon, Sandra Day Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, and Tom Brokaw. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Costner, Brad Pitt, all of ZZ Top [bearded and unbearded], Taylor Swift, Judd Nelson, and John Tesh. Oh, and Harrison Ford (see inset).

Was Nick Adams really L. L.? Famous fiction writer Ernest Hemingway recommended boots and a game bag from L.L. Bean to a friend in 1928.

Not your ordinary campaign stop, the Freeport store has been visited by Presidents Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.

In 1969, Lyndon Johnson ordered a pair of featherweight Hunting shoes.

Swinging for the bleachers, former Red Sox great Ted Williams once put in an offer to buy L.L. Bean in 1960.

TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA If something fishy is going on in the famous trout pond at the retail store in Freeport, L.L. Bean refers the problem to the veterinarians at Maine Department of Inland Fisheries. In fact, the trout are raised and given to L.L. Bean by the same organization.

If you think a dip in the pond is in order, think again. The water is kept at a crisp 57Ë&#x161; Fahrenheit.

Every fin in the trout pond is of the same variety: Eastern Brook Trout. When they get big enough, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moved from the pond to the larger aquarium near the shoe department.

a boutique specializing only in things maine-made

Imagine this at the end of your line: The largest trout in the flag ship storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aquarium is 28 inches long and weighs eight pounds. (Add butter and cajun seasoning to taste.)

RUBBER SOLES

At the manufacturing plant in Brunswick, 1,500 Bean Boots are made each dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to outfit the entire state of Maine in 2 and a half years.

According to manufacturing manager Jack Samson, during the production cycle a pair of boots passes through the hands of 45 different workers.

Will it fit? The Brobdingnagian, extra large Bean Boot outside the flagship Freeport store is big: size 410. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for wiggle room?

Talk about a change of times: The popular 10-inch Hunting Shoe, in 1921, cost $8. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly a 13-to-1 price difference today!

Their Eyes Were Watching Boots: Those little gold rings looped with laces? Eyelets. L.L. Bean has used over 3 million them in the last year, along with 190 miles of laces.

Before you (oh so rudely) return your holiday gift from your mom to L.L. Bean for store credit, consider: A pair of boots once returned to the Freeport store after Christmas contained $1,000 crammed into the toe. No wonder they have that generous return policy!

Hoping to repurchase your returned boots? When items arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sent to the outlet, employee, or retail store, items are sent to Goodwill.

YOU GOT ME IN STITCHES How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Factory workers stitching initials for customers have noticed 40 combinations of three-letter requests surface far more than the nearly endless alternatives. No one is sure why.

Ever carry your diamonds in your L.L. Bean Boat & Tote bag? If so, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not far from the original inspiration for this popular accessory, first designed as

Though previously recognized as the Maine Duck Hunting Coat, the Field Coat is the single longestselling item from L.L. Bean. Introduced in 1924, it cost $7.75 ($99 today!).

THAT WAS THEN

Leon Gorman, L. L.’s grandson, started work at L.L. Bean in 1960. His starting salary was $320 a month.

Ever the businessman, L. L. Bean worked through his time at Kent’s Hill Commercial College in Readfield by selling soap. He later worked at a butter factory in Bangor.

Have you seen the light? Freeport’s first traffic signal was installed in 1937 at the intersection of Main and Bow Streets, right by the L.L. Bean retail store.

In 1976, L.L. Bean officially earned its own zip code–04033.

Leon Leonwood Bean’s middle name was originally spelled “Linwood.” Why the change? The company’s best guess is, perhaps it was easier to spell or remember the popular Leonwood.

NIGHT MOVES Who was the insomniac who implemented the flagship store’s 24/7 policy? L. L.’s brother Henry was the night watchmen who hit upon this notion. During a late-night game of cribbage, a group of hunters noticed the lights on and knocked. In exchange for new laces, they paid via the honor system, leaving the money in the cash drawer. Thus, L. L. saw the light, too, and began the all-night operation.

Bean; when a large fire engulfed Leightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s across the street; a gas leak; and for two Sundays while Blue Laws were disputed.

THE ICE MAN COMETH In 1921, Admiral Donald MacMillan modeled his flashy Maine Hunting Shoes on the first voyage of the schooner Bowdoin to the Arctic.

THIS IS NOW For some employees, getting to work is an adventure.

Tom Tero bicycles 25 miles to from Portland to Freeport each day to work as an outdoor equipment copywriter.

In 1974, L.L. Bean snowshoed into the Computer Era with the purchase of an IBM System 3/10.

According to Freeport manager Corey Bouyea, three couples have been married at the Freeport store, most recently in 1998. The New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve ceremony was conducted in front of the pair of antlerlocked moose.

“Deeply moving.”

*

When her mother disappears during a weekend trip, Florine Gilham’s idyllic childhood in small-town Maine during the early 1960s is turned upside down. With Fannie Flagg’s humor and Elizabeth Strout’s evocative splendor, this debut is an extraordinary snapshot of a bygone America through the eyes of an inspiring girl blazing her own path to womanhood.

“A realistic and resonant coming-of-age novel . . . with a superb sense of place and period.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS * “Callan Rogers’s astonishing debut brilliantly illuminates deep loss, impossible longing, and our yearning to hold onto love no matter what, all told in the lake-clear voice of one remarkable young heroine.”

—CAROLINE LEAVITT, author of Pictures of You

“Not since Ellen Foster have I rooted so hard for a fictional girl. . . . She will break your heart and make you glad she did.”

—MONICA WOOD, author of Any Bitter Thing

“A classic story of paradise lost . . .

I love this book, with its fresh-baked bread, stars and waves, wind-worn houses, mysteries and truths. A wonderful first novel.”

—BETH POWNING, author of The Sea Captain’s Wife

“A lovely novel, long on heart.”

—SUSANNA DANIEL, author of Stiltsville

JOHN BACON – HOMEOWNER, WINSLOW, MAINE

SAVING ENERGY AND MONEY. IT’S WHAT WE DO. Start saving energy and money like the Bacons. John and Sheila Bacon’s house used to be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. But after receiving a PACE loan from Efficiency Maine, they embarked on a whole house energy upgrade that improved their home’s comfort and energy efficiency. This winter, the Bacons look forward to saving more than 50% in heating costs.

Start saving energy now. Learn how by calling 1-866-376-2463 or by visiting SaveLikeAMainer.com.
