This show focuses on recent paintings by Jamie Wyeth, its title taken from a series of twelve paintings done in 2012-2018 depicting real and imagined scenes on Monhegan Island. In these paintings Wyeth combines his fascination for everyday occurrences in which there seems to be something more, even unsettling, in what is taking place.
From the late 1960s onward, Phyllis Mills Wyeth (November 13, 1940 – January 14, 2019) was a muse to her husband, artist Jamie Wyeth. The selection of his paintings assembled in this exhibition are a memorial tribute and reflect Phyllis Wyeth’s vibrant spirit.

see it on your face. That flush of excitement. That sparkle in your eyes. No need to keep it a secret. You’ve been reading again. How much lovelier to experience your vacation more deeply by enjoying the outof-body experience that reading provides. When you read “Dream Islands” in this issue, you’ll be whisked over the coast to some of the most beautiful places on earth. That’s why Edna St. Vincent Millay left New York undercover every summer to visit her Ragged Island in Harpswell—a windswept refuge trimmed in stones and sea roses. She came up here to read—and to hear herself think. As she put it, “where thought unbraids itself, and the mind becomes single.” Stories like this have the power to transport you to somewhere, and somewhen, else. In our revealing story “End-
less Ocean, Endless Love,” you’ll experience what Edith Wharton felt as an ingénue falling in love for the first time. For her whole life she treasured her Maine lover like a secret room in a house. Enter Edith’s romantic universe on page 153. Then imagine a chance return to the Old Port of your youth, only to stare into the eyes of your earlier self who didn’t have “so many sad things to tuck away.” Novelist Ann Hood has written an exquisite story for this year’s Summerguide. You won’t need a cell tower where you’re going. You won’t need batteries or a charger cord. Maine is the loveliest place to experience feasts for all the senses. (Lobster Pizza, anyone? See page 125. An island that inspires a violin concerto? See page 183. Whitewater rapids on an inflatable? See page 109.) By the way, you’re looking pretty fantastic…Have you been reading? Spoiler alert: you’re having fun.

Pen to Print I’m flattered that Portland Magazine, which has a distinguished history of publishing short fiction (think Rick Moody, Sebastian Junger), has chosen to include a story of mine [see “Leaving the Scene,” May 2019]. William Hall, Portland
www.islandinnmonhegan.com - 207.596.0371
Spoiler Alert [See “Leaving the Scene,” May 2019] I believe that most people who love animals would take a dim view of this character’s low emotional intelligence. This story was not a good example for others to emulate, nor a story that animal lovers would find enjoyable to read. Sandra Baldry, Kennebunk And How WOWOWOWOWOWOW! What an amazing feature [see “Maine! Live!,” May 2019]! Thank you so, so, so much! So thrilled to get going to [see] these concerts! Jen Fairfield, Needham, Massachusetts The Joke That Didn’t Land The ignorance of the “Vegans Are Coming” piece in the Chowder [May 2019] section is sitting so poorly with me…Coming amidst a serious animosity in attitude towards anyone adhering to a vegan or plant-based diet, this I feel is beyond acceptable bad taste. Drew Wilen, Portland Many people who aren’t vegan are eating more plant-based food for health or environmental reasons, and non-vegan patrons abound at all of these restaurants. Non-vegans can enjoy this food, and so can vegans,

Our daily struggle with digital over-stimulation is continuous and real. With emails, pop-up ads, and notifications, we are often in sensory overload. Reading a print publication is a focused experience outside of the digital realm. Printed content has tested better with brand recall than digital, and is easier on the eyes. Bottom line: printed publications provide readers with a meaningful and memorable experience.

At each phase of the print process, they provide a humantouch that is unmatched by the competition.

You took an unnecessary, disrespectful tone towards the vegan audience by perpetuating a stereotype vegans have long been trying to break. Emily Carter, Waterville How can you put people who are trying to save animals and the environment down like that? For a periodical (and city) that considers itself progressive and open-minded, you have a lot of work to do. Amy Taylor Grimm, Portland I am not sure why this article chose to be so hateful and how it got through. I really hope whoever wrote this finds a new job. Sandy, Shelton, Connecticut We are sorry. Your letters made us all think and led to a lively, ongoing office discussion. Visit our forum “Let the Fur Fly” at portlandmonthly.com to read and respond to the full letters from our readers. –Ed.

L. L. Makeover L. L.

Tommy’s Spark Artist Will Sears’s new mural adorning 80 Exchange Street is sure to stop Instagrammers in their tracks. The colorful, geometric design is the third mural to tower over Tommy’s Park, part of a $90K renovation of the building. The original, an 1800s street scene, was painted in 1976 by Chris Denison before being replaced by Denison’s 1985 trompe l’oeil image of the former Exchange Street post office, which was demolished in 1965 and is now Post Office Park adjacent to Tommy’s.

You may notice something missing from this vintage postcard of Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, lit for the first time on May 24,1897— namely, the 50,000-ton granite breakwater that now connects SPLL with South Portland’s Fort Preble. The Army Corps of Engineers began construction of the lighthouse’s breakwater in 1950 and completed it in 1951. “The breakwater was built...to generally protect Portland Harbor, and, probably more specifically, the Portland Pipeline pier, the former shipyard, and now the marina,” says Spring Point Ledge Light Trust treasurer Katherine Durham. “We are certain it wasn’t built to connect the lighthouse to shore, though that has made caring for the lighthouse and sharing it with the public much easier.”
Down the Road Cruise to Arundel to check out the new Maine Classic Car Museum at Motorland. “We’ll have 45 cars, artifacts, and memorabilia,” says curator Karen Sigler. “Our collection is diverse, rare, and we have one-of-a-kinds. We all have a car story. There’s a travel culture here because we still have those old roads you can take your classic car on.” The star of the showroom will be the 1948 Tucker recently obtained at auction for $1.8M. Only 47 of the 51 ever built exist today. “It’s the American story,” says Sigler. “Preston Tucker, entrepreneur, visionary, had such big dreams on how to take on those three big car companies. Maybe he bit off more than he could chew, but, quite frankly, cars are now taking on his original ideas.” Summerguide 2019 43

They have possessed themselves of our

You’re not going to satisfy your curiosity from the Promenade. June 22 is your chance to check out what’s been happening at Fort Gorges and get a glass of wine or two along the way when Friends of Fort Gorges hosts the Fort Wine tasting with Devenish Wines, followed by a tour of the grounds. Think you’ll miss the boat? You can catch more oenophile events throughout Portland Wine Week June 17-23.
Bow Down
This Joint is Jumpin’
Coming August 6, in partnership with the Maine State Music Theatre, Portland Stage hosts Ain’t Misbehavin’, a tribute to the cultural renaissance that energized Harlem in the mid 1920s. Set to the swinging rhythms of Thomas “Fats” Waller’s musical legacy, the show follows a cast of up-andcoming musicians finding their stride in Manhattan’s nightlife. This multiple Tony-winning production, directed by E. Faye Butler, is in town through September 1.
On August 16, Port City Music Hall presents The Shade of It All: A Midsummers Drag Show featuring Danielle Dior, Mizz Diveena, GiGi Gabor, Lady Ginger, and Kat Walker. Join Portland’s most fabulous talent for a night of what host Miss Spreada LaJoy calls the “three Ds: dancing, drinking, and drag.” “I’ve some live music planned and always some Broadway. All the queens are so different in music style, so you’ll get to see a bit of everything.”
Sounds of Summer
For over 20 years, Reggae Sunday has been the exclamation point at the end of summer weekends. Listen and you might hear the rhythms roll across the bay. Better yet, catch the Casco Bay Ferry to Peaks Island and join the crowd. Jones Landing gets back in gear every Sunday with live music, dancing, and rum buckets for the swilling.
et’s call it “patio hopping.” Finding the best outdoor seating in Portland is a bit of a sport, especially when the streets are busy with visitors. Where can you enjoy the sounds of city life, fresh air, and the twinkle of a string of lights? We know the way. Our first stop is Garden Café outside the Regency Hotel. Shaded by tall oaks, it’s a surprisingly mellow oasis at the center of the Old Port. Enjoy a Cold Toddy—Maker’s Mark bourbon, lemon juice, honey syrup, bitters, and club soda over ice ($11)—and a light appetizer. We’d go for the Tuna Poké ($14) for a fresh start to the evening before heading into Twenty Milk Street for dinner. Offering up fresh ingredients for chef Chris Gould and his team, the garden patio at Tipo makes the perfect backdrop for your happiest happy hour. From 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, enjoy a glass of Prosecco ($6) and small bites from the menu starting at $5. Across town at 484 Stevens Avenue, The Treehouse deck remains a lovers’ hideout even during our busiest months, veiled by greenery and the warm glow of lanterns and candles. You may find yourself humming an Andy Williams classic under the wood-carved crescent moon of this mise-enscène while sharing a bottle of white.

“We are so happy Mom is thriving again.” “As Mom aged, we thought it best if she stayed in her house, but, we were wrong. Even with hours of expensive home care, Mom wasn’t thriving. She needed more. She especially needed more socialization - not isolation. And more affordable and reliable access to care when she needed it. So she made the move to Scarborough Terrace. She truly loves her elegant new home! Life is more complete in a community with lots of friends and activities, chef-prepared meals, daily care, medication management, and even transportation to appointments and outings. I visit her often, so I know Mom is happier and more relaxed now... and I am too. We only wish she’d moved sooner.”

Duck Digs Goes Solah
The ducks of Deering Oaks Pond are now the proud owners of a solar roof, thanks to Portland’s Sustainability Office. “We were very supportive when they came up with the solar lighting system for the iconic Deering Oaks Duck House,” says deputy director of parks, recreation, and facilities Ethan Hipple.” Now it serves as a visible example of how rooftop solar can be used in difficult locations.” Let’s just hope our feathered friends don’t start lobbying for a miniature Tesla.

Pay-Per-View Starting in July, non-residents of Cape Elizabeth will pay for premium parking spaces–those closest to Portland Head Light and the ocean–at Fort Williams. The town council voted to install a pay and display system—$2 for a minimum of two hours, $10 for a full day, and $15 for a season pass—active from May through October. Cape residents will have stickers indicating access to free parking.
A Need for Tea
Catch sight of Maine in the June Vogue Arabia. Portland photographer Cody Barry shot an Aladdinthemed style piece at Freeport’s Desert of Maine for the wedding blog “Green Wedding Shoes.” It features model Nivedith Renga and Caesar the camel (of Pony X-Press traveling petting zoo in Winslow). The image was then picked up by the fashion magazine through a connection of Renga’s.
Tired of your typical Cup of Joe (though there’s nothing typical about Portland’s coffee shops)? Ready to spice it up? Visit one of Maine’s many tea houses, where you can sip the flavors of the Far East or try some homegrown concoctions. Portland’s Dobrá Tea House on Exchange Street offers “teas from all over the world,” says Ellen Kanner, who owns the shop with her husband Ray Marcotte. “Our focus is on the variety of tea from the Camellia sinensis plant and includes white, yellow, oolong, green, black, and Pu’er teas. We do offer herbal teas grown both locally and around the Summerguide 2019 93
world. We get them from an herbalist who’s blended teas for over 30 years and tea blenders working with locallysourced herbs, seaweed, and mushrooms.”

eed more than just tea therapy? Try Soakology on Congress Street., where you can steep your feet in a relaxing blend of essential oils while realigning your soul with a cuppa Lavender London Fog Latte ($6) or Argentinian Yerba Mate ($4.50). At Nellie’s Tea in South Portland, you’ll find an assortment of teas, gifts, and skin products, but the real draw may be owner Marianne Russo’s expertise. A certified tea specialist and member of the U.S. Tea Association and Specialty Tea Institute, Russo has traveled to China and Japan to study. Want to learn from the best? “I offer a range of classes,” Russo says. “The most common one is an Introduction to Tea, or Tea 101, which provides a brief history of tea, an overview of how it gets from plant to cup, a demonstration, and a tasting of at least two each of the four basic types of teas—white, green, Oolong, and black.” Follow Nellie’s Tea on Facebook for upcoming dates. Even in the summer months, Winterport’s Tea Maineia can quench your thirst. The cozy Main Street shop has indoor and outdoor seating where you can chill out with “a glass of iced tea or tea-infused wine,” says owner Dan Holmes. “Although customers can choose nearly any tea from our selection to have made iced for them, our most popular iced teas are Maine Wild Blueberry, Cranberry Apple, Mango Madness, Wild Strawberry, Key Lime Pie, and Peach Apricot.” Dan and wife Debbie will also be offering free Tea 101 classes on June 29, July 20, and August 31. n

from Medeo European Foods in Westbrook), she and my husband finish the bottle. In one sitting. My biggest shock the next morning isn’t finding the empty bottle (I’d tapped out hours before them, already aching) but finding her as chipper as a chickadee in the kitchen, blaring Andrea Bocelli as she peels potatoes. “That’s a clean drink, you know.” She hands me a peeler.

aine Craft’s tasting room on Washington Avenue is now our first stop on the Portland cocktail trail whenever visiting friends and family hit town. With fire barrels outside the industrial doors, long high-top tables, plenty of room for the “bourbon-flavored mayhem” from live bands like the Cajun Aces—and, of course, Mama Kotsishevskaya’s approval of the vodka—it rarely disappoints. But at five o’clock on a recent Wednesday, a cohort and I are surprised to find it empty but for a few others. Happy hour runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. “Plenty of time to do some damage.” “I think so,” our server says with a smile. “We’ll take one Lemonshine and a Cuba Libre.” “And the poutine. I came for the poutine. You’re paying, right?” An hour or so later, we’ve each finished two (or more) $4 cocktails. A jumble of $4 High Life and PBR cans mingles with empty tumblers—our cue to move on to dinner.

“I just called Izakaya. They have two seats at the bar.” Onward! But we’ll be back. Saturday’s just around the corner, and I can hear the Cajun Aces in the distance. They’ll tear up the complex on June 7 and July 5, and I can’t wait to get Mama K out on the floor. Stick with Black Cap and you might avoid the hangover. If not, that poutine ($10) does the trick.

the lineup of offerings continues to expand. Forget Substance. There’s something for everyone in Stroudwater Distillery’s eclectic tasting flight: gin, vodka, rye whiskey, and bourbon ($10). I start with a sip, then toss back the rest of the bourbon. “Whew!” “It’s a tasting.

Halloween Silent Film with James Kennerley
Thanks to Maine, Elvis is back in Vegas. By colin W. Sarg e nt
hy wait for the audience to come to you, when you can go to the audience? “Welcome to Caesars Palace and the Ogunquit Playhouse production of Elvis Presley’s Heartbreak Hotel!” During the summer of 2017, Ogunquit Playhouse’s Brad Kenney delighted Maine theatergoers with Heartbreak Hotel, a curated presentation of Elvis songs, some unknown, that Kenney created with producer/ director/writer Floyd Mutrux from a shelved trial sequence Mutrux had originally envisioned as part of Million Dollar Quartet, also successfully produced at Ogunquit. At Heartbreak Hotel, Maine crowds rocked out to the big sounds of the smoldering, sensitive 18-year-old Elvis Presley—and the tears. End of story, right? No, it’s the beginning.

Love Me Tenderloin “The phone started ringing,” Kenney says, first from “the cruise ships, then Caesars Entertainment.” Investors piled on board, including creatives and financiers connected to the Elvis estate. What to do? Kenney knows showbiz like Smilla knows snow. While he treated us to a sizzling season at the same time in Ogunquit, “We transferred the production to Chicago last sum-
mer. Caesars Entertainment came and saw Chicago. They said, ‘If you can do A, B, C, and D, we can do a casino show.’ I spent my spring in Las Vegas. I worked with Broadway director Jeff Calhoun. We took what went well in Ogunquit, what went well in Chicago, and curated a show for the Las Vegas concert space.” As in Harrah’s Showroom, which dates to the Rat Pack days. Imagine the curious and wonderful word “Ogunquit” falling on Vegas ears. Rosy Future Heartbreak Hotel opened in the city of neon in April and is still playing. But for how long? “Forever,” Kenney says. “The contract is open-ended!” An early review from John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports: “The Elvis lead, Eddie Clendening, is a killer performer, and this backing band smokes.” Which is no surprise, since Kenney conducts some of his business meetings while walking the smoky coast of Marginal Way. As for Clendening, we saw him first in the Maine version of the show, itself a world premiere. The ripples go outward. While the show continues in Vegas, another version is being announced for “London,” Kenney says. “Seriously.” n

ver dream of freefalling at 120 miles per hour? Close encounters with creatures of the deep?
You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat “It’s crazy to have a 200, 300-pound shark on your line.” Twenty miles offshore, captain Ben Gardner is reeling
By o livi a gunn kotsishevskiya
in 300-pounders. “Blue sharks, makos, threshers. Threshers are the biggest, but the most entertaining are the makos,” he says. “They come flying out of the water when they’re hooked—ten, fifteen feet— and do backflips.” With over 25 years of fishing under his belt, Gardner is the guy you want on deck when you hook one of these. His company, Kristin K. Charters, offers inshore fish-
ing, ground fishing, and shark fishing for groups of four. For $995, a shark fishing trip is by far the most exciting. Have the desire but not quite the stomach to fish these beauties? It might help to know Gardner is a catch-and-release man. “We tag them for the National Marine Fisheries Services, and we’ve found some of our sharks turn up all over the world: South America, Spain, the Canary Islands.” Summerguide 2019 109
O u t doo r s Cage Match Dave Sinclair and his team at Sea Ventures Charters in St. George has just the cage for you. “We run out quite a ways, about 20 miles,” says Sinclair. “Like we’d be going fishing, we set up chum buckets to get the sharks to come up. The cage is set up with a door at the top so the divers can pull themselves up if needed. It’s about 400, 500 feet deep. We see makos, blue sharks, threshers. They range in size up to about 12 feet. It’s cool being in their environment, to see them just gliding around.”

rom mid-July through August, Sinclair takes groups of six certified divers out on the boat for $1,200. “It’s a great opportunity for photography. We’ve been doing this for 20 years. We found that sharks are attracted to electronic impulses like strobe cameras, so we’ve had situations where sharks will come up behind the diver. They mouth things to investigate, but we’ve never had any skin broken. In the end, these sharks have no interest in eating people. They’re just exploring where the scent is coming from. They’re wild animals, and we’re invading their territory.” Sky High Not everyone’s got sea legs, but who wouldn’t try a set of wings? At Biddeford’s Skydive Coastal Maine, instructor Rich Fowler and partner Nick Sergi have over 20,000 jumps between them. “About five percent of the population wants to jump out of an airplane—at least that’s what the last marketing person told me,” Fowler says. “It starts with signing the paperwork, which is usually the scariest part.” From May to October, thrill seekers take a Cessna 182 10,000 feet up before free-falling in tandem (i.e., harnessed to an instructor) with either Rich or Nick. Imagine the Maine coast racing toward you from that vantage point! “We free-fall down to 4,000 feet. It’s falling for about a mile. Free fall speed is 120 mph. Once your parachute opens up, you have a ride down to the ground, about five to seven minutes,” Fowler says. “The emotions on the ride [up] to altitude run the gamut from people crying to hysterically laughing.” This weekend, check out Skydive New England in Lebanon. “We have an on-site

Nulty teaches powered paragliding, similar to paragliding but with a motor. “We don’t have mountains [to jump off] along the coast, so we put motors on our backs. We take off from airports or fields. I do a lot of the training out of my house in Arundel, but a lot of the flying is done at the Biddeford or Sanford airports, depending on the wind.”
P
owered paragliding is expensive: SPF prices start at $3,500 for a beginner with no experience or equipment. McNulty suggests a tandem flight with him first. “I had a guy up from Massachusetts, and he wanted to tandem flight. So we met at Sanford airport, and we flew for a bit, and he said that was enough. Now we’re talking to him about getting gear! It’s a good way to dip your feet in the air, so to speak.” What’s it like up there? “It shouldn’t be this easy for a human being to fly,” McNulty says. “It might be the new, unique perspective that is the wow part. I couldn’t think of anything else after coming back from my first flight.”

Ou t doo rs All Aboard Hang on to your paddles—it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Maine rivers are calling, and the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers provide prime Class IV and V rapids throughout the summer. At Northern Outdoors, based in The Forks, arrive Friday night and set up your tent along the Kennebec ($13 per night) in a prime spot (hopefully with Kennebec River Pub & Brewery within walking distance). Hold off guzzling too many Let ’er Drift Summer Ales, though. “The Kennebec trip is an all-day activity,” says Russell Walters, who joined Northern Outdoors as a kayak guide in 1983. “You’re on the river at 10 a.m. We raft for a few hours until noon, then pull ashore for a cookout on the beach. We get back on the river before 1 p.m. and reach The Forks around 2:30 p.m. or so. You’re on the river for three hours, traveling 12 to 13 miles.” Prices for rafting range from $69 to $134 per person. On Wednesdays, Maine residents raft at half price. n

Premium, Naturally Smoked Seafood
Setting the Standard for American Smoked Seafood Since 1978. Ducktrap has come a long way since 1978, when Des Fitzgerald built a humble seafood smokehouse in Lincolnville, Maine. The same high standards established back then are still passionately followed today: premium grade seafood, custom brining recipes, and a time-honored smoking process using local hardwoods and fruitwoods. Today, our eco-friendly, state-of-the-art smokehouses in Belfast continue these proud traditions where our roots began on the coast of Maine.

hat does all this lobster experimentation mean? To proprietary Mainers, the idea of a “Maine Style” lobster roll is in itself disturbing. How long will it be before there’s a “New York Style” lobster roll? Manhattan already ruined clam chowder. Then there’s the urban legend that some Chinese diners, many of whom are wild for wild Maine lobster, call Maine lobster “Boston Lobster.” That’s because most international distribution of Maine lobster is shipped from Logan Airport in crates stamped “Boston.” You ship it, you own it.

Dear to the Pier
The troubling loss of bandleader Jimmie Lunceford, popular with Maine’s Greatest Generation, disturbs music lovers to this day. From Staff & wire reports
file photos
O
ld Orchard Beach Pier is famous for having hosted the best swing bands in the world: Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra, Tommy Dorsey (featuring Frank Sinatra), and Jimmie Lunceford all delighted big crowds into the night above the roar of the surf. In particular, Maine loved Lunceford. He knocked out audiences here so often that a random search on eBay for a postcard of the pier shows his name up in lights on a night his orchestra played here. On July 12, 1947, he and his band
flew to Seaside, Oregon, for a show at the Bungalow Ballroom. Less than 48 hours later, he was dead. Lunceford’s biography, Rhythm is Our Business, by Eddy Determeyer, supports the band’s feelings that the owner of a nearby restaurant decided he didn’t like the look of Lunceford or any of his black musicians. Some say the restaurant served poisoned hot beef sandwiches to the band. According to his band members, almost everybody got horribly sick, but Lunceford died. He was just 46. He didn’t drink alcohol and seemed an unlikely candidate for a heart attack, as the local coroner pronounced. Summerguide 2019 135

aine still reverberates with the silence of Lunceford’s not returning to his favorite New England stop in the summer of 1948. Meanwhile, some online reactionaries insist that no racism was involved, in spite of the band’s take. In 1947, there was no definition for ‘hate crime.’ Determeyer writes, “…It is not too far-fetched to maintain that Jimmie Lunceford was poisoned for being the proud black man he was.” A reappraisal may be in progress, with new facts unearthed to support both sides of the existing historical narrative. At least we have his music—and the Pier. Like Lunceford told his band, stay tuned. n

he Maine oyster is commanding center stage in eateries across the state. Served au naturel in settings where they are the star, not just a B-list appetizer, the bivalves speak for themselves— volumes. As do the hosts working tirelessly to get us the best oysters they can find or harvest themselves. On The Half Shell If you want the ultimate oyster-slurping experience, head straight for the carts at breweries, farmers’ markets, and festivals. At the helm of South Portland’s O’Oysters, Lucas Myers has “sold oysters in one fashion or another” for almost 20 years. He loves “being a pundit for the Maine oyster industry. There are some great people and fascinating operations producing some of the best oysters in the world right here in Maine. I love handing someone an oyster right off the knife and telling them how it was grown and by whom.” If you’re han-

kering for an oyster fix “without pomp and circumstance,” as Myers puts it, be on the lookout for O’Oysters at the farmers’ market in Monument Square on Wednesdays and at breweries including Island Dog Brewing and Rising Tide on weekends. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for the popular BP’s Shuck Shack cart in front of the U.S. Custom House on Commercial Street in Portland. Veteran oyster purveyor Brendan Parsons has worked on oys-
ter farms since high school and recently opened his own oyster distribution center and eatery, Shuck Station Raw Bar, in Newcastle. The oysters are shucked to order at this Nobleboro native’s cart and sourced from at least eight different farmers in the Damariscotta River area. Whether the oyster hails from Great Salt Bay or South Bristol, Parsons wants you to get to know the nuances, and he’s had a lifetime to become acquainted with them. You might even be

Lightly • toasted Standard Baking sourdough bread with butter ($5) or various smoked and pickled fish sourced from Galicia, Spain, and served with ample amounts of cabbage, pickles, and mustard can be ordered.

Next up, Maine Oyster Company. This cozy little nook on Portland Street is described by owner and oyster farmer John Herrigel as “more than an oyster bar…It’s a center for connecting three overlapping spheres: the oyster growers of Maine, the West Bayside neighborhood, and the general oyster-slurping community.” “We go beyond the bottom line to support fair prices to the growers.” Herrigel’s goal is to create a sustainable aquaculture industry within Maine, “ensuring our environment and natural resources remain protected.” On the wall, an informative map of coastal Maine designates the location of each participating oyster farm (https://themaineoystercompany.com/oysters ) and features photos of the farmers.

Endless Ocean, Endless Love It was in Bar Harbor that young Edith Wharton found, and then lost, the love of her life.
E
B y Co l i n W. Sa r gent
dith Wharton spent summers in Bar Harbor in her early twenties. That’s where she met the one who got away. Bookish, dramatic, wasp-waisted Edith Jones, 21, fell for Walter Van Rensselaer Berry at the Rodick House Hotel during the summer of 1883 in Bar Harbor, says novelist Yvonne Georgina Puig, who writes for Salon. If you were anybody back then, you’d hang out at “The Fish Bowl” at Rodick’s, where the young swells crowded in. The supreme goldfish? Edith had “a [glorious, full] head of auburn, red-gold hair,” says Dr. Irene Goldman-Price, a Wharton
scholar and trustee at The Mount, Wharton’s mansion in Lenox, Massachusetts. “Berry has been described as ‘a tall, slender man with a well-trimmed mustache, owning a reputation for urbanity, a range of humanistic learning, and a habit of mildly lewd facetiousness; a persistent gallant and a confirmed bachelor who was much in demand,’” Puig says. “If this were a movie, think Daniel Day-Lewis.” Moody Edith was reeling from a broken engagement. She’d come within an eyelash of marrying the millionaire son of a vast hotel chain. The groom nixed the match because his family worried about her reputation as the author of literary works such as Fast and Loose, the novelette she penned when she was just 14. In the wake of this embarrassment, Edith’s mother despised the idea of her daughter falling for a comparatively broke young lawyer like Berry, who had difficulty even scraping up the funds to pay his tab at Rodick’s. But there was something about Bar Harbor. You’ve got to love a town whose main drag is called Eden Street. It was a different universe from Edith’s Manhattan, with
a different set of rules. The crashing waves and soft winds were the perfect stage for a tragic love connection. Oh. And the promise of nighttime canoe rides. Unchaperoned.
“W
e know about the canoe ride from a letter Berry wrote in 1923 remembering that summer,” Dr. Goldman-Price says. Imagine a secret moment treasured for 40 years. The flash of her eyes. Her innocent smile. In a way, the two lovers never really returned to shore. “They did share a loveSummerguide 2019 153

n this less decorous age, many of us might wonder why they didn’t just ‘do it’ and get hitched if they loved each other so much. Edith’s mom was certainly having none of that. No daughter of hers was going to marry a man without prospects, even if the young author would have made a different decision. It was as if Edith were trapped in her own novel. “I don’t think Walter ever gave Edith the opportunity. It’s not that she turned him down because he didn’t have the money. He never had the confidence to propose to her,” Puig says. “Then he went away. They only had this moment. Then Teddy Wharton came in, kind of inserted by her mother. Edith felt she didn’t even have a chance to choose. And Walter Berry never made a move. They never dared to act on it. She really poured all that into her love stories.” The emotions went underground. Fourteen years after their first swoon,

Romance when Edith was 35, she and Walter locked eyes in a Newport ballroom, but it was too late.
“S
he was married,” Puig says. Teddy Wharton never took the trouble to master loving his wife on her terms. Though he was indulgent to Edith, he sniffed at her literary career, dismissing her double-edged novels as, she joked to a friend, “witchcraft.” It was Walter who had changed. His charming, hopeful youthfulness had been replaced with gravitas. The Harvard grad from Columbia Law School had become an important diplomat—successful, suave, and wickedly funny, a confidant of Henry James. Marcel Proust frankly expressed his love for Berry through a cursive inscription in Walter’s first edition of Swann’s Way covering nearly three pages. Filled with unexpressed emotion and unquenchable longing, Walter and Edith fell headlong in love with each other—again, as though they’d never left that canoe. Walter brashly visited her at The Mount, with Ted-

dy either traveling or under the same roof. Then Edith and Walter “traveled together through war-torn Europe,” no doubt growing closer, with long talks into the nights. “After Walter died, Edith destroyed all her letters from him.” Is there a love that sails beyond the grave? “Her last act, a gesture of extreme romance, was to be buried in the same cemetery in Paris where Walter was buried,” Puig says.
B
ar Harbor architectural historian Brad Emerson has written, “Naturally those of us who are partisans of this part of Maine speculate about what would have happened had it been Maine, rather than Lenox, where Wharton chose to live after departing Newport. For all we know, Ethan Frome might have been a Lobsterman.” In terms of her art, Edith’s experiences in Maine sank far below the surface of her imagination and into her consciousness. Walter doesn’t just live in her novels; he’s the king of them. “Think of Lawrence Selden in

Romance The House of Mirth. He’s in the society but not of the society. He’s a young lawyer, sort of a skeptic who sort of eyes everything from outside. He’s the one who sort of judges Lily as one of the society. He realizes too late that he wants to act on it.”
E
ven at the end of The Age of Innocence, Newland never summons the nerve to rekindle his disastrous, smoldering passion for Ellen. He never leaves the park bench in Paris, never ascends to the fifth floor of her BeauxArts townhouse, never again takes her into his arms. In a Wharton-like coincidence, Mainer Michelle Pfeiffer plays Ellen opposite Day-Lewis in the Martin Scorsese movie, screenwritten by Maine’s Jay Cocks. “Wharton does address lovers lacking courage. Longing,” Puig says. Bar Harbor wasn’t just the spark of her hurt—it was her spark of inspiration. Puig pauses, thinking about Edith’s witchcraft. “What happened in Maine appears throughout her work.” It echoes beyond Frenchman’s Bay into the universe. n

Don’t you just love it when folks from out of town try to share with us the worst-kept secrets in Maine.
ou’ve heard of “Mansplaining.” One Urban Dictionary entry defines it as: “Explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.” A local variation on this theme is Mainesplaining. Simply put, it involves folks “from away” explaining the facts of Maine life to longtime locals. “I’m going ‘way up north’ to Lubec.” A coastal village, Lubec is not even remotely “up north.” Fort Kent—five hours north of Lubec—is a better bet.
By Ti m Sample
“You don’t need snow tires in Maine if you have four-wheel drive.” Maybe that’s why all the vehicles sliding off the road after the first snowstorm are four-wheel drives. “Nobody in Maine actually talks in that Downeast accent.” Maybe not at Starbucks in Falmouth, chummy. But on the docks of Jonesport and Beals Island, the accents are as thick as Mothah’s homemade chowdah! Then there are those unique and amazing “Maine discoveries” people “from away” just can’t wait to share…
“No need to pack a lunch. I discovered this adorable little place called Red’s Eats. It’s right on the way. I’m sure it won’t take us very long to stop and get a lobster roll.” On the other hand, “long” is a relative term in Wiscasset in July. “It’s called Allen’s Coffee Brandy. Would you like to try some?” I thought you’d never ask! n Born and raised in Maine, Tim Sample’s books and recordings have sold over a million copies.

Eaux: A Tale of Acadie
Louisiana meets Portland on Exchange Street.
W
By Co lin w. Sarg en t
e wander into Eaux before catching a show at Portland Stage. First, a Sazerac. It’s whisked to us icy cold (without the ice). Perfect. We nibble on the intriguing Farro Salad ($13), a blend of shrimp, pecans, green tomatoes, mint, rhubarb, and the ancient grain that really works. On to Gumbo Yaya ($28), which means “everybody talks at once.” Nightly seafood depends on the market. This evening, it’s a satisfying bowl of mussels, shrimp, and hake with chicken and generous slices of andouille sausage mixed with toothsome Louisiana rice, sassafras, and green onions sliced into thin confetti streamers. Spiced, not spicy, and deeply flavored. Tonight’s special is the Étouffée ($22), a lovely presentation with the fiddleheads curled in a fragrant base. But it’s the gorgeous golden-fried soft-shell crab resting atop the bowl that takes center stage. There’s no lobster analogy for the soft-shell crab, and it’s a brilliant pairing with the fiddleheads, whose season also is fleeting—almost a bump of the supernatural. A glass of Legado del Moncayo Garanacha ($9) from Spain seems a bit sweet at first, but we find we love the way it blends with the rich flavors here. There’s also a strong beer menu, including blackboard specials.
The restaurant/bar is filling up, and on weekends, the party rages till 1 a.m. We were early enough to score the peoplewatching seat in the window that faces Exchange Street. Not that we’re even a bit hungry, but we ask anyway about the only dessert on tonight’s menu: Bananas Foster ($10), not served flambé. A pity, as this famous dish would be a marvelous way to use the fabulous picture window to draw in Exchange Street flâneurs with a little night theater. Our cheerful server quips that the chef doesn’t trust her with fire… On first blush, Cajun food in the Old Port seems counterintuitive, but the Cajuns are still haunted by their earlier selves, the Acadians. Led by Longfellow’s fictional Evangeline during Le Grand Dérangement, the Acadians followed a tearful trail in the 1740s from their home in the northeast Maritimes down to New Orleans to become the Cajuns. Our server tells us, “Evan Richardson, our owner and head chef, met his wife, Genevieve, who’s [originally] from Portland, in New Orleans, so she’s the inspiration for his coming here.” Evangeline reunited with her lover, nearly three centuries later? n Eaux, 90 Exchange St., Portland.

By Colin W. Sargent
Incomparable Kingdom ome islands don’t live in real time. They live in mythic time. If you’re looking for a getaway on an island straight from an Eric Hopkins painting, this is it. Centuries ago, five-acre Ram Island off the St. George Peninsula was prized by settlers as a sheep pasture surrounded by a universe of blue water. No need for a collie
S
here! One still morning, the flock woke to the ringing sound of hammers. Today, this granite-trimmed isle hosts a modern four-building compound, dock and boat included. Three plush post-andbeam bungalows are selfie-worthy for guests. The center courtyard and boardwalk paths connect the smaller dwellings to the big show. The main mansion has a dining room
with cathedral ceilings; water views; and a wraparound porch. You’ll never want to leave the great room—a showstopper. Its russet wooden rafters mimic modern art. They shock the stillness with the illusion of motion, the joists refracting, ducking, shifting, and racing to a dramatic peak like lovely, flappedout fans. Anchoring the room is a massive brick fireplace. Summerguide 2019 183
House of the Month Words, Music, Romance Still more rare: a dreamy octagonal library designed to let you push off from the shore of your imagination. Remember libraries? This one has built-in shelves and floor-toceiling windows. Indulge yourself. Disappear into a great story.
W
ho dares to dream on this scale? Sometimes it’s not “follow the money.” Sometimes, thankfully, it’s follow the library, with words and music as your guide. Composer Alan Fletcher runs the world-famous Aspen Music Festival. Before that he headed Carnegie Mellon’s School of Music. His husband, philanthropy guru Ronald J. Schiller, is the founding partner of Aspen Leadership Group, LLC, an executive-search service for the non-profit sector, and the engineer behind billion-dollar gifts to learning and arts institutions with libraries on the scale of Cornell, Princeton, and the University of Chicago. These two cultural power brokers find their way back to the island each summer for soul sustenance and private reflection, walking barefoot along the beaches to the cries of gulls. Putting their words in print:
Exploring the Personal “We have owned an island home since 1997. Our first island home was on Lake Winnipesaukee. We moved to Ram Island in 2013, in part to be on the ocean, and in part to own a fully private island. For the past 22 years, whether traveling a couple of hours by car, or all day on multiple flights, the last ten minutes of the journey has always been the most important, and the most magical. Crossing the water means leaving everything else behind.” ‘Psychic Decompression’ “We found the property through a friend, and the first time we stepped onto the island we knew we were home—before even seeing the structures and interior courtyard! Though neither of us grew up in New England, we knew we wanted an island home there—we love the Maine coastline, the warm days and cool nights, the seafood. “We love being surrounded by lobster boats and having Outward Bound as a neighbor. We also love that so many artists and writers live and work in the area, also 1 8 4 p o r t l a n d m o n t h ly m a g a z i n e
Ram Island: Creative Inspiration
q + a by colin w. sargent
Is any of Alan’s music inspired by the island? (For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXadeI3n5Tc)
Alan: “Concerto for Violin and Chamber Orchestra” was indeed composed on Ram Island, and it’s inspired by images of water and particularly moonlight on water. Another piece, called “Romance,” was commissioned by the Salt Bay Chamberfest in Damariscotta and also plays with sound images of water. Wilson Alling, who created the house, designed it so that every room has a view of water, encompassing 360 degrees, with ingenious limbing of trees so that, while the water is present in every room, boaters passing by do not notice the buildings but rather experience the island almost entirely in its natural state. Ronald, where in the house do you most like to write, and when?
Ronald: I’ve written two books on the island, and most of my work was done in the library. For the most part, I’m looking onto a quiet, beautiful landscape. I can see the water—always in motion—and in a storm hear crashing waves. Occasionally, a bird flies by, or a boat goes by in the distance, never interrupting my work, but temporarily drawing my eye to the horizon and reminding me to breathe in the beauty that surrounds the island at all times of day, in all weather. Does being on an island make the reading deeper?
Alan: The serenity of the island (we have a boat named Serenity) is indeed perfect for all forms of concentration and attention, especially reading. We made a choice to have no live TV reception, so reading becomes even more important. Over the years, I embarked on many ambitious reading programs. An especially memorable one was re-reading all of Proust, which is a true luxury. When you disappear on this island, do you tell the madding crowd in Aspen or elsewhere where you are, or do you intentionally drop off the face of the earth?
Alan: Unfortunately, my day-job obliga-
tions are intense, and I can’t really disappear. My practice is to get up early, consider every email, and then leave that behind for the rest of the day. I do continue my senior staff meetings, but my colleagues are very respectful of the whole island thing, and no one calls without a plan. Ronald: I co-own a company, and I too stay connected, but it is also easy to turn that off and disappear into the island. There’s a walk along the rocks on one side of the island where one watches boats, birds, and an occasional seal swimming by. On the other side of the island, there’s a path through the woods on a bed of pine needles, for an entirely different experience of quiet. The rafters of the great room are striking. Even while static, they seem always in motion.
Ronald: Wilson Alling designed the buildings, and Fred Mazzoni, who has a profound understanding of the Maine coast, was the contractor. The gorgeous wood was milled from the trees that came down to create
“Concerto for Violin and Chamber Orchestra” was indeed composed on Ram Island. the central garden. Throughout, there’s a Japanese aesthetic—the garden is reminiscent of gardens we’ve visited in Kyoto, and the rain chains, bells, and feel of the whole is very zen. Wilson was a scholar of Buddhism. The rhythm of the interior ceilings is powerful, even hypnotic. Did you curate the statues? How have guests related to them?
Alan: The statues were Wilson’s. One, a rather large steel moose lurking near a path, never fails to startle me, no matter how often I try to remember it’s going to be there. Tell us about a wilderness encounter on the island.
No matter the space, no matter the style, we have you covered.

All This, and Heaven Too “The town of Rockland, with the extraordinary Farnsworth Museum, with great restaurants, and with wonderful shopping, is 15 minutes away. But on the island, it is all ocean, birds, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and starry skies. Both of us write—one of us writes books, and the other writes music. One couldn’t ask for a more quiet and inspirational surrounding. “We were married on the island, with 40 family members in attendance, and the island has been host to other weddings in the past. It is the most enchanting location for a family or friends gathering!” Make Ram Island Your own f you buy Ram Island this summer, your first order of business will be to circumambulate the 1,700 feet of granite ledge surrounding your kingdom. Sometimes the cliffs drop to lustrous beaches. Want to be luxuriantly alone? The boathouse at the head of the dock lets you eavesdrop on the whisper of the waves.

Because it’s yours now— there’s no turning back. Solar array on the blink? Just flick the switch to your backup generator. Insist on pizza delivery? Included on the mainland just 800 feet away is your own deeded parking and boat storage area, where the delivery car is just pulling in. Let them know you’re approaching with flashlight signals. Got a yen for zen? Stone statues are hidden around the island to watch you chase your dreams.
Brass Tacks “The whole island is assessed for $432,600,” reports the St. George town assessor’s office. “The house was built in 1990, for the late Wilson Alling,” of Greenwich, Connecticut, an educator, dreamer, and divinity scholar who bought the island in 1979. “Harbor Builders worked on the house.” What was the purchase price when Fletcher and Schiller bought it? “One million, two hundred thousand dollars.” It’s now or never. The price is $1.395M. Don’t check your mobile for comparables. This Shangri-La deserves a special place among the incomparables. n

Greer Island, Penobscot Bay $395,000 Taxes are $2,724.
At low tide, Greer Island is just a sandbar away from stunning Vinalhaven beaches. But the shelly stretches of beach on this humble five-acre island have a charm of their own, offering endless views of Penobscot Bay, its blankness an open canvas for adventure. Prevented from building the dream home she’d envisioned by the Natural Resources Protection Act (a 600-square-foot cabin with no plumbing is Greer $395,000 the limit), owner Eliz-
Ronald: One winter I rowed out, and walking through the island came upon a dozen deer who had bedded down for the winter, safe from predators. Several of them immediately ran to the water and swam to the mainland. What a sight! Where is the magic rock or lookout you have to visit in order to say you’ve really been on the island?
Alan: At almost every first arrival, we’d go down to the rocks facing Metinicus (and, in my fancy, Portugal), where there’s a bench perched on the rocks, and a flagpole. The local lobstermen see the flag, returning to the bay and harbor, as a symbol that their long day is complete. You’re both so engaged with the world—how do you disconnect?
Alan: Ram Island is a place to be apart from rules. We do tend to adopt farmers’ hours. It turns out that dogs are big supporters of this. The moment just before dawn when the lobster boats are outgoing was especially magical to us, as they are very dreamy as their lights pass by in the morning fog. Any performances under the stars?
Alan: Many internationally celebrated musicians have visited, and some have brought their families for a more extended stay. For our wedding on the island, we had the Borromeo String Quartet and several noted soloists. Any unexpected guests?
Alan: Because of the tides and the skiff situation, no one can really just drop by. We don’t mind this feature! What’s the signature island meal you like to serve guests when they come to the island?
Ronald: One of Alan’s favorites is a truly authentic Cuban black bean dish, which takes several days to make and is simple and profound at the same time. Alan: Occasionally, we’ll have fresh fish caught by Ron just offshore—we especially love a Portuguese cod stew. But we also love the traditional Maine clambake: clams harvested on our little beach, lobsters left in a floating crate by our dock as the lobster guys come in, corn fresh from the superb local farmers’ market, and peach pies in season.

from 1857 until 1933 was only the beginning of the story for Winter Harbor Lighthouse. n 1939, Mark Island was sold to Bernice “Bunny” Richmond, author of Our Island Lighthouse and Winter Harbor. The first in a long line of writers to be inspired here, Richmond writes in the latter: “I couldn’t put into words how terribly important it was to sleep on the island with sea sounds encircling me. I couldn’t explain how I looked forward each morning to that first rush of salty air through my kitchen door.” A ccording to Jeremy D’Entremont, author of The Lighthouses of Maine, Richmond kept notes on her island life, tracking storms and visitors—some more mystifying than others. She notes one strange occurrence: “They knocked at the back door…and talked among themselves…My callers weren’t discouraged because I wouldn’t

the sharp brininess and seaweedy taste had surprised her. “I think I’m in love,” she’d said, reaching for another, this time forgoing the cocktail sauce. She was in love. With Ben. And she’d wondered, hoped, that Ben knew that was what she’d really meant. But the subject of love didn’t come up again, that night or the rest of the week.

eg made her way slowly up hills and down, peering at storefronts and shop signs. What she wanted was a sandwich from the place where she and Ben had gone several times that long-ago week. She’d had the vegetarian sandwich, The Hearst Burger. Open the bun and the patty is gone! Ben had ordered the Downeast Feast just so the kitchen crew would come out banging pots and pans. Unable to find the place, Meg wandered into a bakery instead. Immediately she was struck by how much the young woman behind the counter reminded her of her own twenty-year-old self: the same blond braids, the same round, wire-rimmed glasses, the

same air of hopefulness, as if there was something good just around the corner. Meg ordered a brioche and then said, “I was looking for a sandwich shop. It gave its sandwiches funny names?” The girl scrunched up her face, thinking. “Carbur’s?” she offered, and Meg could hear the Maine in her voice. Like Ben’s. “Yes!” Meg said. Then: “That’s my name too.” She pointed to the girl’s name tag. “Meg,” she added. The girl smiled, unimpressed but polite, and a shiver went up Meg’s neck, like she’d seen a ghost. A ghost of her long-ago self, the one who laughed so joyfully. Who delighted in her first oyster. Who didn’t have so many sad things to tuck away. Back outside, clutching the bag with the brioche in it, Meg closed her eyes and breathed in deep, the air rich with salt and seaweed and oysters and young love. When she opened them again, the light had shifted slightly, less silvery now, almost lavender. The air, she thought, smelled different too. It smelled, she decided as she bit into the still-warm brioche, a little like hope. n

eg didn’t know what had compelled her to take Exit 28 toward Portland instead of driving straight home to Providence. On the once-familiar streets she became so overwhelmed by nostalgia and bittersweet memories that she had to pull over and stare at the ocean to calm herself. While she was up in Brunswick for the library conference, all of these feelings had stayed tucked away, along with all of the losses of the past few years: first her mother dying, then Jeff leaving their marriage to “find himself,” and just last year Becca off to college five hundred miles away. But here all of it washed over her with the salty air and silvery summer light so like that long-ago summer when she’d come to Portland to see Ben, her first love. The one who got away. He’d grown up here, and she had eaten her first-ever oyster with him at J’s Oyster Bar on the wharf. She hadn’t expected to love it as much as she did. But
