IMPERA Sometimes a duck call isn’t just a duck call. While many devices of this kind are plastic, this 100th anniversary edition of L.L. Bean’s Coastal Duck Call is walnut, cocobolo, and has a bronze reed. You can even hand-tune it, but “an average person might end up with a kazoo,” says product developer Kevin Murray. Beware: It’s loud. “You can really wail on it. I like Casco Bay late in the season. It’s more brutal, with snow, and you can call ducks through the freezing spray.” $149, llbean.com

Homer for tHe Holidays Visit the studio of reclusive painter Winslow Homer on Prouts Neck. Meet at Portland Museum of Art‘s Great Hall and catch a shuttle ($55 round-trip, members $30) to the center of Homer’s private world on the Scarborough oceanfront. “Homer didn’t like to be disturbed while working,” says PMA’s Kristen Levesque. In fact, his sign “Snakes, Mice” was designed to scare away company. Ironically, it’s part of the show now. “The guided tour takes you through the studio and down to Cannon Rock, where Weatherbeaten was painted.” Inset: The Artist’s Studio in an Afternoon Fog, an oil painting Homer gave John Calvin Stevens for designing his studio. portlandmuseum.org/about/homerstudio

“Edward Gorey captured a beautiful loneliness in his work that speaks to our desolate winters,” says Maine College of Art’s Scott Nash. There is an extraordinary sense of “other” to his vision. Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey is on display at Portland Public Library through December 29. portlandlibrary.com/ programs/lewisgallery.htm

Night Gallery 12 PORTLAND MONTHLY MAGAZINE

Do you suffer from painter’s block? We have an elixir for that. Boston-based Paint Nite, an art happening, has been showing up at Portland bars lately, including Brian Boru, Bull Feeney’s, and Fore Play, providing art supplies for budding Pollocks. Mid-creation, patrons “are encouraged to have a drink or two” before painting the town red, says organizer Callie Hasting. paintnite.com, $45

Uber-fan Stuart Tinker proudly offers tours of the top Stephen King hotspots in Bangor, like the sewer Pennywise was in. “People don’t like to look down the grate at that stop, but they love King’s house,” Tinker says. At first glance, Tinker’s Chrysler minivan seems ready for soccer moms and dads–until you see the clown from It painted on the sliding passenger door. $79.90 per couple, sk-tours.com

TÍFS You can’t buy more local than the Honey Exchange, snuggled between Roy’s Shoe Shop and Pat’s Meat Market on Stevens Avenue. “Last week we extracted honey from Durham and Westbrook,” Phil Gaven says. It’s a honey of a location, too, an 1815 Cape with a sweetheart of a staircase. 30-hour pine cone candles, $24.95, 494 Stevens Ave., thehoneyexchange.com

The Lighthouse

Keeper’s Bracelet They kept the light night after night, in storm, in calm, on star-filled and moonlit nights. They were loyal, steadfast and brave. These were the lighthouse keepers… And the men of the Life Saving Service who manned the boats in gale and storm to rescue passengers and crew in the midst of the fiercest of seas. These are the jacket buttons* worn by the lighthouse keepers and the men of the Life Saving Service. Authentic buttons of polished brass, worn on dark indigo blue… Buttons and uniform worn proudly by the men who stood at land’s edge and watched the sea. We have one large and one small button of three styles in each bracelet. The Lighthouse Keeper’s buttons show the lighthouse; the Life Saving Service buttons show the lifesaver ring, crossed oars and boat hook; and the US LHE buttons (the oldest lighthouse service buttons in the bracelet) stand for United States Lighthouse Establishment.

PM9012

Lighthouse Keeper’s Bracelet.....#X2852.....$385.00 Sterling silver, shown actual size

*Real Lighthouse Service buttons were used as masters. Our sterling bracelet shows the often-polished, time-worn detail, giving the bracelet a gently softened rustic look.

“The CEOs and government relations people of cruise ships come to us in Congress to deal with issues,” says Congresswoman Chellie Pingree. “I got to thinking, it’s time we turn the tables around.” It just happens to be the dinner tables, as 8,800 lbs. of lobster from Ready Brothers was hoisted onboard Norwegian’s Dawn and Celebrity’s Summit.

FEEDING THE BIRDS Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds thrilled crowds on the big screen at Regal Brunswick 10 as part of Universal’s 100th anniversary. Star Tippi Hedren has had her share of bird runins, even during a recent stay at Portland Harbor Hotel .“This gull landed right on our table and proceeded to empty all the sugar packets,” says Hedren. It didn’t even ruffle her feathers.

Dreamworks Northeast Entertainment mogul David Geffen’s fall yacht stop to Portland in the Rising Sun was a convergence of the cool. Geffen, co-founder of Dreamworks with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, also founded Asylum records (Jackson Browne, Tom Waits, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, and Bob Dylan). Here, the Rising Sun visited St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.

Rum Diaries The next old thing: New & Old Rum Makers

Neal Dow, Portland’s mayor from 1851-1852, is revered and reviled as the “Father of Prohibition.” Unfortunately, his stockpile of liquor at City Hall led to the Portland Rum Riot in 1855.

J.B. Brown’s sugar refinery was a vital component to Maine’s rum-producing history, serving to store molasses before being refined into sugar.

Fancy a drink at work? Portland’s City Hall had a rum room to store the contraband during Prohibition. DO WHAT I SAY, NOT WHAT I DO–Adjacent to the ‘sentimental’ announcement of Kitty Kentuck’s death from intoxication–and violence– is an ad for “The Delicious Tonic,” gin.

GETTING YOUR RATION–Beginning in October, Portland’s New England Distilling will sell Eight Bells Rum at RSVP in Portland, Bootlegger’s in Topsham, and other liquor stores in the state of Maine. Three Crow Rum has sold out for the season, although it “would be worthwhile to take a peek at your local liquor store’s shelf, to see if there are still unsold bottles,” says Keith Bodine. Rusticator will be available in the spring. “Hannaford and Shaws only reset their liquor once a year,” says Wight, “but Eight Bells is on the list for next year!”

. ,

DOWN TOOLS AND UP SPIRITS–Ned Wight’s Eight Bells Rum refers both to the beautifully stormy painting Eight Bells and the practice of timekeeping aboard ships before the advent of cheap clocks. An hourglass would be turned every half hour and the ship’s bell rung on the turning, adding one ring for each turn of the glass. At ‘Eight Bells’ the cycle would reset, making it a four-hour cycle–putting the most rum-appropriate ‘Eight Bells’ at the stroke of midnight. Rum was actually customarily served to sailors aboard ships at 11am and 5pm–six bells. KNOW YOUR ENEMY–Neal Dow’s cousin, John Neal, was an author, lawyer, and civil rights advocate. He and Dow had a falling out over Irish entrepreneur Catherine Landrigan, aka ‘Kitty Kentuck,’ who purchased property in 1851 from Neal, who would defend her against prosecution under Dow’s administration. While Neal described her as “a poor, but generous, kindhearted Irish woman,” Dow countered she was the proprietress of “a notorious groggery.” Dow attributed his cousin Neal’s fondness for Kentuck to her being “handsome, once,” writing that “her [more recent] friends were truly friends in need.”

Eight Bells Rum is a wonderfully warm dark rum with power and presence. It has dark rum’s toasted sugar flavor with vanilla and cinnamon, and provides a smooth finish of caramel with a touch of a rich fruitiness.

GOOD SWILL HUNTING–George Smith Hunt (b. 1829), greatgreat-grandfather to actress Helen Hunt, owned the Eagle Sugar Refinery on Fore Street in Portland as well as a fleet of ships that traded Maine lumber and Caribbean sugar and molasses. A high-profile trader, Hunt testified before the U.S. Senate in 1886 that molasses imports should be placed on a reduced schedule, arguing that it was a raw material and not a finished product. Raw material for what? His former residence at 165 State Street will forever live in Portland’s psyche in its connection to the West Indies rum trade.

The Temperance movement in the United States was successful in ending the U.S. Navy’s rum ration in 1862. ‘Black Tot Day,’ the last rum ration served aboard Royal Navy ships–was in 1970. The Royal New Zealand Navy continued the practice until 1990–by then, the concerns were no longer about the moral well-being of sailors, but about their ability to operate sophisticated machinery such as, well, guided missiles.

Bill McCoy used up to six ships up and down Rum Row, including aboard his Tomoka.

Bill McCoy’s so-called Rum Row stretched all the way from Florida to Maine, and sent ashore Canadian whiskey and Caribbean rum. “He was famous for not watering down his booze–he’s the guy who popularized ‘The Real McCoy.’”

GANGS OF PORTLAND–The family split between cousins and their different perceptions of Kentuck illustrate how class and ethnicity were aligned in Portland. Many of Portland’s working men and women were Irish, and from their perspective the Temperance movement, particularly the heavy-handed tactics of Dow, combined both class disdain and anti-Catholicism in a nativist, moralist bisque. Dow was certainly not aided by the overlap between the KnowNothings and the Temperance movement. These tensions–mirror those portrayed in Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York–were carried on as well in the streets of Portland during the 1855 Rum Riot.

TRAILING PARENTS

t’s a term coined by John Hatcher of Keller Williams, the Hatcher Group. “In the corporate world, we’d always have a trailing spouse,” Hatcher says. “It’s a person who has another job elsewhere, then usually the spouse–back in the old days it was the wife– would stay behind, sell the house, wait for the kids to finish school, then join her spouse at the new location. If no kids were involved, they’d still be wrapping up details. “When it comes to this ‘Trailing Parents,’ it’s grandparents wanting to be closer to the grandchildren. It’s not over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go…it’s to our children’s and grandchildren’s house we go.” The trend has made a profound impact not just in Hatcher’s house sales, particularly in Portland’s West End, but in the cultural gifts that trailing parents, often extremely accomplished in their fields, bring to Portland and the coast of Maine. “Another set of trailing parents is Corky and Carla Clark,” Hatcher says. “In 2009, they purchased 104 Neal Street from architect Sam Van Dam. Their daughter and son had fallen in love with Portland and moved here ahead of them, living in one of the Pine Street row houses designed by John Calvin Stevens. Corky and Carla have redone the kitchen– updating the 1980s kitchen they bought.” As for why Portland’s trailing parents feel more rewarded than they might have at a different destination, Hatcher says, “Portland is so easy a community to get to know the neighbors. If you want to participate with them, it’s great. If they don’t, it’s

great. In other cities, people ask about your portfolio or your bloodline before you can serve on a board. Here, people find it very easy to project themselves into a culture through boards, committees, and a lot of these people are finding themselves. The Clarks invited me to a housewarming party around Christmas. I thought, I have to go to make sure there’ll be enough people attending, because they’d just got here. I got there to find 75 people.” “Mary Doherty, 28 Carlton Street, followed her chil• dren here. They purchased her house from me. She was a docent at the Victoria Mansion and now she’s on the board of trustees.”

George Roth, a neurologist, and his wife, Shir• ley,“Dr.followed his daughter and son-in-law from Pittsburgh to Maine. They ended up building a 7,000-square-foot house in Woolwich on the Sheepscot River.” Why so large? “Neurologists have to have this calm demeanor, because they’re in surgery. He is the calmest man. She’s very elegant and delightful. When I started showing George houses ten years ago, he said, ‘John, [during my medical career] I haven’t spent four waking hours a day with my wife, whom I love so much. We’re going to have to build a big enough house for her to be able to get away from me!’” The result: “They have a daylight type basement on a sloping lot to the water with ten-foot ceilings, because they took up ballroom dancing and built this big ballroom dance studio there.”

DESIGNS INC

On the subject of cultural engagement: “Another buyer came to Portland; she played cello and violin. I sold her a house in Cumberland Foreside. Audrey found herself in three different chamber groups, doing performances. If you have a little bit of an outgoing personality, Portland is an easy city to break into.”

Being the best means a lot to us. Putting our patients first means even more.

Earning Maine’s #1 hospital ranking from U.S. News & World Report, as well as best for cancer care, gynecology care, nephrology care, urology care, and orthopedic care, is a true honor. This recognition, the latest in a series of awards, is all due to the professional and personal care we provide every day. While these achievements are a source of pride for all of us at Maine Medical Center, our source for inspiration will always be our patients.

Research a Great Retirement Former Washington DC area residents who own a summer farmhouse in Waldoboro, Carolyn Bryant and Don Sarles bought a cottage at Thornton Oaks in early 2010 as their winter home. Carolyn says “Bowdoin College provides a fine library that I can use for musicological research (though officially retired, I’ve continued editing and writing for Oxford University Press). The local public library has also been extremely helpful in finding abstruse journals and scholarly books for me.” Don, a long-time choral singer, has joined an excellent choir. “We especially appreciate the strong sense of community at Thornton Oaks. We have formed close friendships and feel very much at home.”
