I remember thinking Oh now I get it Just a few days ago I began to suspect the street where I grew up in Portland Albion Streetwas really named for Albi- on Parris Chapman for whom Chapman School was dedicated. In 1984 Chapman School became Breakwater School. Be- cause the Albion Street of my childhood connected to Brighton Avenue Id always believed the Albion was an obscure reference to the lost England of William Blake. Its never too early or too late for an aha moment. A nest of Anglophiles. If youre driving near the University of Southern Maine campus youll see successively streets named William Pitt and Fessenden. William Pitt Fessenden 1806-1869 was a U.S. senator from Maine as well as Abraham Lincolns Secretary of the Treasury. As your tires whis- per across these streets youve evoked his name. Now for the mystery of David Road and Mayer Road off Brighton Avenue and Pya Road in Back Cove. In the 1950s developers Mitchell and Nathan Cope of the firm MiNat developed these suburbs and named these roads for children of the next generation. If you followed real- estate development in Portland in the 1980s you know who David Cope is. It was a memorable project when the glass negative photographs from the Portland Press Herald collection were re-scanned by Maine Historical Society. Another fascinating explora- tion was conducted decades ago by Norm and Althea Green with their The Origins Of The Street Names Of The City Of Portland Maine. A copy exists for urban detectives to peruse in the Port- land Room of Portland Public Library. Eight hundred and fifty streets are deciphered in this resource. Here are two examples that tickled the Portland Press Herald in a 2015 story Abbe Lane in North Deering. For popular radio and TV singer and wife of the band leader Xavi- er Cugat and personal friend of the developer. Of course that was B.C. before Charo. Then theres Holwell Street. Edward Deering Noyes of Portland named this street after his great- great grandfather British Major John Z. Holwell the hero of The Black Hole of Calcutta. Updating a project like this could give wandering Portland high-schoolers real street cred. Its fun to discover how each street got its name so well know where weve been as well as where were going. 8 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine Editorial Colin W.

F e b r u a r y M a r c h 2 0 1 6 3 9 As the dream weaver at Portland Stage Anita Stewart is an ever rising star. By DiAne HuDSon When Portland Stage Exec- utive and Artistic Director Anita Stewart looks back on her first visits here in the 1990s its not about beach lounging or lobsters. Somehow she always managed to get hired to work on shows rehearsing in December in tech in January. So I was here for New Years and I went to the fireworks right downtownmassive fireworks you felt like were right over you blasting away. I sort of got the picture of how Portland burned down a couple of times. It felt pretty extremefabulous so full of life and color and so cold and everybody just dealt with it. And she remembers going to the Port- hole It was a place where fishermen would come off the boats wearing these giant yel- low waders and they would come in to eat sloshing water all over the floor and smell- ing of fish fresh fish. It was local color real color. For Anita Portland was real people living a real life.

You really get a sense of what its like to liveinthecitywhereyoureworking.Increas- ingly Portland became one of the few plac- es that coming out of a New York base she could see herself moving to. It was inspiring to my work. The other draw was the theater space itself. Its just this jewel box. Theres not a bad seat in the house. Its one of the best the- ater spaces in the country and Ive worked at a lot of them. While an undergraduate at Yale Stew- art studied architecture. But the thought of building something that would be standing 50 or 100 years from now made her stom- ach tie up in knots triple and quadruple knots. When she looked at things shed done in the past very few of those ideas seemed to her to be the best they could be. It was always Well if I had done it this way it would be even better. For her the- ater solves this problem. It gives you some- thing here in the moment right now. Its the best thing ever and then it becomes a memory. Another problem with architecture. When doing a mock-up for a design shed invent people who lived in it and a back sto- rythatmadeherdesignsomethingotherthan just abstract space. This was really set design but it just took me a while to figure it out. When she did she plunged wholeheartedly into the Yale School of Drama where she found her mentors master teachers Ming Cho Lee sets and Jennifer Tipton lighting.

Each production involvesgettingtogetherwithagroupofpeo- ple to solve a problem as opposed to being a competition where one of us succeeds and the other doesnt. It is more about us creat- ing something really amazing together. A t Portland Stage theres the addi- tional challenge of working with- in restrictions posed by the venue itself. When she designed at other theaters like the Guthrie in Minneapolis and was budgeted with as much money as she want- ed she found it far harder to figure out how to proceed. As an artist its much easier when I have to push against something as opposed to when the skys the limit. And push she does with an amazing staff of 24 plus 10 or 11 interns a no-frills stage and very limited budget. We can do it Stewart says because people believe in the art and they want to be doing it. Thats what gets the job done. Take technical director Ted Gallant with whom Stewart has worked for the past 20 years. Stewart drafts the set and Gallant a carpenter and mechanical engineer aid- ed by an intern and technical assistant puts everything together in less than three weeks on a materials budget of about 2700. Its fun to see him get a project and latch onto it says Stewart. A particularly dazzling production was John Carianis LoveSick a play involving 12 different locations. I didnt want to have the audience suffer through stage hands constantly lugging things on and off the set she says.

If we were at a bigger theater wed have a whole hydrau- lic system but we dont. There was this huge bicycle wheel with a chain that went the cir- cumference of a 14-foot circle and then it went over to the side. He used gears so that a person could stand and crank the whole thing around. When the turntable reached a specific position a light would go on so you knew you were at one of the places to stop. All of this from the hardware store. Very basic stage mechanics Stewart says. Lever and pulley really ingenious. From the Stage Up E very set is a uniquely designed thing. Itsnotsomethingthatcomesoutofa book and there is no place to go and say OK thats the set. It involves a collabor- ative team that comes together to build a be- spoke production exactly for Portland Stage. Before anything can be done design-wise Stewart has to come to a meeting of minds with the director. Some are inspiring and can take what you have and make it more. Director Paul Mullins does this for Stewart. Working together on Center of Gravity and Red they were able to create a world that felt right for the plays and the action that need- ed to happen with a cleanness where things were able to move seamlessly. Muchofdesignisinthetransitions.Some favorites include Intimate Apparel Din- ner with Friends Hidden Tennessee Arca- dia and Rough Crossing. Each had a differ- ent and unique solution but the full space felt unified within the design. Most of these involved very interactive spaces with the lightthings would move through a dap- pled light that was very compelling. Stewart looks for things that can morph and change from one place or one thing into another and feel natural rather than like a lot of work. She engages talented lighting designers to add visual voltage notably Greg Carville Bryon Winn and occasionally Christopher Akerlind who shared the directorship of Portland Stage with her when she first came in the 1996-97 season. What gives Stewart nightmares is when there are multiple locations and lots of spe- cific activities with furniture or props that actors are required to use. Some shows that demand everything to be present in a scene but then just as whimsically it has to disappear. People in cars are real- ly hard too she says.

Each comes with its own challenges. The puzzle as Stewart sees it is to deter- mine how to get multiple worlds playing at once working with projections light and more sculptural spaceand then you get those moments when you are part of some- thing truly magical and everybody feels it. Its like no other feelingyou know youve experienced a great event. Its why people run marathons or go to hear great music. It just touches you in a real way. Setting RootS Stewart has grown from needing and want- ing that into recognizing that she is con- necting not just to a group of artists but to a community. An audience that compels her to live here. Connectivity is what Portland gave me. Stewart and her husband the actor and director Ron Botting live on OBrion Street steps from the Eastern Promenade. They have a son and a daughter. Stewarts home studio is a pleasantly chaotic space with glowing original pine floors. Being a mother inspired her to take an active role in education programs. She spearheaded the popular Play Me A Sto- ry Portland Stages school outreach pro- gram now active in all Portland schools K-12. The impact of how we approach putting a play together can have an enor- mous effect on kids. Trying to collaborate and find meaning in a textthat is exact- ly what they need. Ditto for imagery that takes you to the heart of a story. Meaning comes from how you say words not just what words you say. n For well over a year now many of us have seen the pink van of Eastern Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning driving around York and Cumberland counties and we may have asked whats it all about. To clear up this question I spent some time with Diane Gadbois at her home and asked her some very personal questions that I am sure were difcult to answer. You see George and Diane Gadbois are private people who give more than their share back to the community and the last thing they want is to be noticed for their generosity. They started Eastern Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning 40 years ago on a wish and a prayer and now have the largest family-run carpet cleaning and water damage restoration company in the area. Back to the pink van If you notice on the rear side panels are the words Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This national founda- tion has brought forth womens cancer awareness promoted ex- tensive cancer research and although not exclusive to the cause is nationally recognized by the color pink. The cost to place this name on the van will not be discussed here but let us say the yearly donation is signicant and the proceeds all go to the cure for womens cancer. Diane was introduced to breast cancer early in life when her mother had a radical mastectomy. She remembers her mothers doctor telling her sister and her one of you will have cancer. Not a pleasant thought at the time but it stuck with Diane and saved her life. Twice after the normal tests and screenings for cancer Diane received a clean bill of health and relatively soon after while doing a self-examination found a lump. Not once but twice Fortunately they were found in time and Diane is doing ne but she wants to get the message out that as important as it is to get regular screenings it is equally as important to be your own advocate and make double sure with a self-examination. So when you see the pink Eastern van go by remember its just Diane reminding you even if you have had the tests be your own advocate and make a regular self-examination part of your life because it could save it. It did for Diane 63 Pleasant Hill Road Scarborough P 885.1499 F 885.9410 infoeasterncarpetcleaning.com For well over a year now many of us have seen the pink van yearly donation is signicant and the proceeds all go to the cure Clean Up Cancer F e b r u a r y M a r c h 2 0 1 6 4 5 LocaL coLor courtesyPhoto RadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadioRadio HeadsWe know their voices. Here are the stories faces of the women on local airwaves. By oLivia Gunn o ne year ago I started working in radio. I had no prior radio experience. I was clueless ner- vous as hell and very intimi- dated. That is until I started venturing out of the mole hole of the newsroom and re- alized there were actually a lot of rocking women in Portlands radio scene. I want- ed to meet them talk to them hear what they had to say off air and ask why radio Be it the laughs they offer or the stories they share these women greet you every morn- ing pull you through each afternoon and keep you posted on the drive home. They are the voices in your car a neighboring cu- bicle and the corner bar. Theyre brought to you every day and night over the rolling air- waves. Even at your loneliest hour there is someone to keep you company on the dial. They are the voices of Portland radio and these are their faces. Heidi KniGHt LocaL coLor 46 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine LoriVoornas show. Your opinion does matter. Ive offend- ed many people by accident. Every once in a while youll step in it. And radio is such a personal medium. Youre talking one-on- one with somebody so if youre saying some- thing about something someone really cares about and you dont agree its going to really offend someone. Proudest moments We do a giant charity event in October for breast cancer. I lost my mom to breast can- cer and who doesnt know someone who has cancer Its a giant disease that affects a lot of people. Im proud of it because of the listener involvement. We raised 50000 this past October which is a giant chunk of money for radio. We did it a nickel at a time collecting cans. Over a million bot- tles and cans. Most memorable moment The first person I ever co-hosted with was Willy Rich. I remember when he quit and I felt like my dad was leaving. That was a big moment. And I came out on the air. I was so afraid. Scared to death because Id been in the closet on air for 19 years. It left there in 99 and have been here the Q ever since. Whats the best thing about working morning radio You have no idea what the day is going to be like. I absolutely love making people laugh. Thats whats fun about working with other people. If I were doing this alone I wouldnt know if anyone was laughing. Im laughing but Im my best audience. Do you ever worry about being liked Im not everyones cup of tea and I cant try to be. Otherwise I lose who I am. How do you deal with critics The bottom line is were an entertainment lori Voornas WJBQ 97.9 How did you get your start in radio I have a different story than most. I got into the office end of radio in the 80s at WBLM by answering a newspaper ad for a traffic manager. I was 21 or 22 at the time. Eventual- ly I asked if I could be on the radio and they said no. Because I had no radio expe- rience. I asked how Id get it and they said Dont know dont care. I went and worked at WMPG at USM and did the very envi- able midnight-to-6 a.m. Sunday morn- ing slot. Once Id been on the radio six months BLM gave me a weekend shift and changed my name to Paula Roque. Thats when I realized working in radio sucks because you make minimum wage and it ruins your weekends. Eventually you moved on It was 92 or 93. Thats when Randi Kirsh- baum called me up. Id gone to a wedding for someone at WMGX and you know you have a few drinks and youre funny as hell and Randis thinking Why not She asked if I wanted to do mornings on WMGX Coast 93.1. That was 93. I courtesyPhotos Ive offended many peopleEvery once in a while youll step in it. F e b r u a r y M a r c h 2 0 1 6 4 7 was like living a double life sort of The reason I came out is because I got married and everyone was coming to the wedding. I guess I was expecting backlash. But I didnt hear one nega- tive thing. And everyone knew. It was the worst-kept secret ever. How has radio changed Technically everything is so differentWe used to have to Put records on No not records you little shit. But CDs definitely. And to record a phone call reel to reel Do you know what that is Its tape. A call comes in and you start a tape re- corder that has two giant reels. You say Hey listener congratulationsand they say Oh hot goddam shit Well youve got to take out the profanity. You take the tape cut it with a razor blade tape it together and cue it back up. What do you want for your career I want to remain relevant and entertaining. I want people to say I was cracking up in my car I cant believe you said that I love this radio show. I want to hear that until they randi took jobs in baltimore and D.c. for several years before reaching WbcN then bostons classic rock sta- tion. That was the pinnacle as far as I was concerned. My hero at WbcN was a woman named Maxanne and she was the only woman in boston. There was an- other one in San Francisco. Then oth- er cities starting having one or two. There was an overall belief then that men didnt want to listen to women and women didnt want to listen to women. and if men did have to listen to a woman she had to be someone they envisioned as sexy. I was 16petite short curly hairand when men would meet me theyd say Oh I thought you were tall and blonde. after spending summers in Maine she decided shed make the move to a smaller market for a better quality of life. I took a giant pay cut but it was for the lifestyle. Kirshbaum has been at Port- land radio Group for 35 years. In 2006 she was inducted into the Maine radio hall of Fame. SarahSullivan Who is Randi Kirshbaum N early all the women interviewed for this story mention her influence on their way up in radio. Presently the brand manager and listener advocate for 98.9 WcLZ and coast 93.1 Kirshbaum was a pioneer. She was 16 when she walked into KQrS her favorite station in Minneapo- liswhere they played hendrix Joplin and the Doorsand said you bill your- selves as a progressive radio station but have no women on air. Why dont you hire me She got the job as the first female disc jockey in the Twin cities even though her program director at the time told her not to expect to make a career out of it. That was 46 years ago. I was very persistent. I didnt think then I wanted to get into radio and do it the rest of my life. I just knew I wanted to be on that particular radio station and I worked hard to get hired I had the radio bug I was one of the nerdy kids whod go to bed with a transistor radio under my pillow and listen to WLS out of chicago. Ive loved radio my whole life. LocaL coLor 48 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine wheel me out and Im talking through my little voice box. Sarah Sullivan Wpor 101.9 As a co-host of the WPOR morning show do you feel like part of the local community There will always be a connection with local radio because we shop at the same shops go to the same places eat at the same restau- rants. There will always be that connection of I know her. When did you first connect with radio I was about eightand I remember listen- ing to a station in Nashua. They had some guy on who threw out the phone number so I picked up the phone and said Hi can you play Andy Glibb He got on the air and said I want to say hi to SarahAnd I freaked out. I couldnt believe he actually said my name on the radio. When did you know youd work in radio Ive always loved radio. I was a music ma- jor in college. My dad was a musician. We always had the radio on. I studied vocal performance. I was going to be an opera singer but you cant make a living in New Hampshire as an opera singer. Did you have any influences I always had the radio on behind me. Charles Laquidara was on at the time on WBCN in Boston and he sounded like the biggest idiot. I thought I could probably do that. There was another guy who was highly influential on Boston. His name was Dale Dorman. Uncle Dale. He would say things that were R rated if you thought of them that way but to a little kid they were like oh yeah. What was your first on-air gig I went to the Connecticut School of Broad- casting in Wellesley Hills Mass. I got my first job as an intern at Rock 101 WGIR in Manchester. I interned for a little while and then I thought I should get paid. I went to WSMN in Nashua. W hen I got into FM radio I thought it was the big time. That station really hooked me with radio. The music was coolI met my first rock star at WMDKTodd Rundgren. Patty Wight You were eventually at WHOB where you did the morning show with Jeff Paradise. Was it hard hav- ing this career and being a parent I was a single mom. Did it all. Bought a house raised a kid worked morning radio. Woo-hoo. Wheres my emblem Wheres my cape Wheres my prize So it was hard No. I jump into things before I know what the consequences are. Thats kind of a char- acteristic of mine. Its worked to my advan- tage and to my disadvantage It was never really hard. You do what you have to do be- cause you have to do it. It was just me and my son for a long time. Were there many women working with you in radio in the beginning WhenIfirstgotintoradioitwasallguys.Cer- tainlynowinmorningradiotherearemorefe- malesbutitneverusedtobethatway.Therewas a specific formula to radio. Youd have room for one female on staff and that was it. That wasenough. Wasnt there a time when you couldnt play two female singers back to back When I did the music for a Top 40 station in the 90s that was the time when Christina Aguilera Britney Spears Jessica Simpson when it broke. Because all of these blonde young singers had hits and it was virtual- ly impossible to create a music log without putting to females back to back. What is the best part of your job today When a listener comes up to me and tells me I listen to you every morning. I can be talking to somebody on the other side of the radiomaybe they have nobody or no one just my voice. Thats the best part about being on the radio the listeners. patty Wight MpBn 90.1 What drives you as a news producer I love sound. Some people say radio is the most visual medium and I think there is some truth to that. When a radio story is done well it engages you in a different way. Did you always want to be in radio I went to school for wildlife biology and I loved it but I was not a scientist at heart. I had a National Geographic romantic vi- sion of it. I got an internship at Maine Audubon so I thought Id stay in Maine for the fall and go out West to explore. I happened to meet my now-husband so thats why Im here but I also started to listen to public radio I thought wow this seems really fun. Its what I wanted out of the National Geographic dream. Its an adventurous job where things are different every day learn- ing new things meeting new people. You free-lanced for a while after graduating from the SALT Institute. What was the transition like from freelance to a job at MPBN It was an adjustment to learn how to do a story in a day. Youve got to go along with your gut. But there are times when I may be more happy with the results than a lon- ger story.

I covered Kaci Hickox which was really exciting. Ev- ery day its interesting to think okay what will happen What was it like hearing yourself for the first time Its a combination of excitement and that its hard to hear yourself. Some complained I had vocal fry. It was hard to hear but there was also some truth to it. I think this issue is very focused on women but men can do it too. I wanted to improve my voice on air and that led to it. When a big story isnt breaking how do you keep the job interesting Whenever you look into something even things that may not be initially that excit- ing theres always something. Its trying to find a different angle or a new development. Radio seems to be regaining popularity especially shows like This American Life and podcasts. What do you hope happens in the industry Its great that so many people love radio and I want that excitement to continue be- cause when other people are interested ei- ther as listeners or by doing it it will push radio forward and keep it evolving. Heidi KnigHt FRAnK FM 107.5 How did you get your start I was working at a dentists office and I ac- tually knew the host of the show Bill Fox because I sold Mary Kay cosmetics with his wife. He called me one day and said Were looking for someone to be my morning show partner. Would you be interested Well I was in line to order at Dairy Heidi KnigHt Freeport ME www.coastalstudiesforgirls.org An Extraordinary 10th Grade Semester APPLY TODAY SubScribeportlandmagazine.comsubscribe 855-767-8624 50 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine Queen and I said Are you kidding me Just as I screamed Oh my God the lady at the drive-thru opened the window. What was it like go straight to the morning show I think when people listen they think its easy. I was one of those people. But they dont realize everything that goes into what we do behind the microphone. How everything is timed how you have to be ready to jump in. If someone forgets what theyre saying or doing youve got to be ready to pick up that ball and run. How did you deal with criticism Ive had people say to me Youre annoying. I hate your laugh. Other people tell me I love your laugh. It can get in your head because people can be mean. But youre getting paid to do a job. It wouldnt be an interesting show if everyone agreed. There are some days when I swear I could say its raining oranges outside and everybody listening would say Yeah shes right. Im seein it over here in Poland. I got a few in Westbrook. There have to be good days and bad days when youre on air every day. Radio local morning radio in particular sometimes feels like one of the most human mediums. Its real. We talk about ourselves and what happens in our lives. When I first started I was in a relationship that went south very quick- ly and I tried to keep that from my job but eventually I had to put it out there. I had to share. As a listener you can tell if some- body is not their normal self. Listeners went through my daughters wedding with me they went through my divorce with me. I found a man. Thought he was great. He was having an affair. I shared all of that. I live my life through that microphone. How do you deal on air with real-life tragediesfor example the Paris attacks You have to address it. You have to talk about it. Its on everyones minds its on television. To not acknowledge it would be foolish. In something like the Paris attacks or Eva MattEson Im not dumb. I can be ditzyits part of my charm. courtesyPhoto F e b r u a r y M a r c h 2 0 1 6 5 1 LocaL coLor You bill yourselves as a progressive radio station but have no women on air. Why dont you hire me then I moved to Nashville to oversee a country music chart which involved me compiling charts based on country radio airplay for the music industry trade mag- azine Gavin Report. When the magazine closed in 2002 I got a call from a radio station in Oklahoma City and they said You know everybody in town and you go to all the stuff and you know whats going on Can you be our on-air Eva the Country Diva I called in to the station every day during a live show and did a country music report for them. I hadnt realized what my life had been like as a music magazine editor in Nashville. I mean I went to parties at Rebas house. I was in the studio with Shania Another station called and asked about the Country Diva reports so I ended up with five or six stations. Then one of my mentors got a job at WSM FM in Nashville which are legend- ary call letters. He said he had a guy com- ing to do afternoons and If you can stand to be in the same room as him you could do an amazing show. Of course I lasted about nine months and I got fired. Which everyone in radio can attest you gotta get fired. And I did. You know they were going in a different direction I remember lying in bed thinking I dont know what Im going to do. So I got out a book Creative Visualizationits about visualizing what you want. I wanted a radio partner I liked a company that val- ued me and I wanted to live back near the water. Within five days I got a call from Randi Kirshbaum at WMGX. Six days lat- er I drove up here and arrived January 21st 2005 right before a huge blizzard. Do you think radio found you Its a place where shootings at schools you have to do it in a very human way. You address it and you move on. Theyre getting it everywhere else. Weve got to give them what theyre used to hearing and weve got to make them laugh. Sometimes its hard. You have to come up with something to distract them. Its what were paid to do. What are some of your best moments on air Id say my proudest moments at Frank have happened working with the Barbara Bush Childrens Hospital. We meet these kidsyou really take them with you. Were there for three days and the next Monday you come back to work drive by the hospital and you think Oh surgery today I hope its okay. Or Oh they get to go home today. Its difficult but its the highlight of my job. Where do you see yourself in five years R adio is volatile. Nobody gets into ra- dio thinking theyre going to not be doing radio. It all goes by. Your rat- ings. They could say tomorrow theyre changing to a country station. We all know that coming in so you ride that wave as long as you can. I hope I dont get too old and become irrelevant. I dont know how relevant Id be going back to the workforce. Its frightening. I couldnt do nine-to-five again. Im up at 230 in the morning ready to go. Eva MattEson Coast 93.1 Youve been at Coast now as co-host of the morn- ing show with Blake and Eva for 11 years. I can honestly say I love my job. Thats not to say I havent had periods when I felt stuck out of gas or unfocused. When Blake joined the show two years ago he brought an intensity of passion and ideas that re- charged me and made me realize if I lose that desire to learn grow or improve Im probably done. How did you get into radio I fell into this ass backwards. I always dealt with radio peripherally. I did pop-promo- tion in Los Angeles where I grew up and youre able to have this big personality Especially when youre allowed to. I cant speak for other companies but from the day I got here Ive been allowed to be myself Ive never been told to tone it down or dial it back. Its better to get in trouble than to not do something because youre worried about get- ting in trouble. How does it feel to have people consider you a friend just from hearing you on air I didnt get hired because I have a great voice or production skills. I got hired be- cause I have a personality and for what- ever reason I engage people. God gives everyone their gifts and I got the engage- ment gift. I think people kind of relate to me. Ill ask a question that might not be the smartestbut someone in their car is going I didnt know that. I know Im not dumbI can be ditzy its part of my charm. Im never embarrassed to say I dont know something. Proudest moment on air In October of my first year I had a mam- mogram went back for more imaging had to have a biopsy. Matteson was diagnosed with breast cancer and shared all of this with her listeners. Luckily all my doctors came on air and talked about it. A lot of people went on that journey with me. That was maybe my one chance I got to do something of real value. That was some- thing you cant manipulate. When do you feel youre where youre meant to be My validation comes when I meet people and they say I love listening to your laugh or I love you and Blake or Hows your sister These are people who have very busy lives but for some reason theyve connect- ed with us. n 52 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine F e b r u a r y M a r c h 2 0 1 6 5 3 Words CourtesyPhotos Maine is my second home says Michael C. White. His new novel Resting Places hijacks readers across the country and keeps them up at night. IntervIeW By ClaIre Z. Cramer R esting Places opens in the middle of a hectic day in the life of successful Connecticut attorney Elizabeth Ger- lacher. Shes juggling her career her pro-bono legal work her unresolved grief over the ac- cidental death of her 21-year-old son Luke a year earlier in New Mexico and her drinking problem. A series of encounters propels Eliz- abeth to go deep into what she was not even aware she possessedher soul says author Michael C. White. Her story becomes that of a journey-quest As in all quest stories her journey is aided by strangers. When hes not writing on the coast of Maine in the summer White is a professor of English and the founder and director of Fairfield Universitys MFA Creative Writ- ing Program. A prolific writer and author of six novels including Soul Catcher and Beautiful Assassin he was on the faculty at USMs Stonecoast MFA program. His novel A Brothers Blood shows he knows and loves Maine to the bone. He keeps a summer cot- tage in Boothbay Harbor. How did you choose a parents loss of a child as the cornerstone of Resting Places Fortunately Ive never had to experience the death of a child. The essence of the sto- ry came to me many years ago when I began to notice those little crosses people put up roadside memorials marking where a loved one has been killed in an accident. At first I simply thought they were odd. Then I be- gan to wonder what sorts of people put up memorialsin Spanish descansos or rest- ing placesand what the memorials say both about the dead and those who have put them up. Finally I drove cross countryas my character Elizabeth doesand stopped at hundreds of memorials all dealing as Elizabeth must with the death of a loved one. While some of the memorials consist of just a simple cross most tell entire stories. The crosses on the descansos in the storyand on the coversuggest a Christian theme but Resting Places cannot be so easily pegged.

Its a celebrate event not a deal event. We dont require just one price for a three- course dinner. Its four-tiered.

A Maine chef reports a similar experi- ence at Bostons version too. Ive been to Bostons restaurant week says Shanna OHea co-owner and co-chef at Academe Brasserie at the Kennebunk Inn. I went to LEspalier for lunch which was very good. I think whats good is that it gets people to try restaurants when they feel like theyre getting a deal. However I think Packing heat Bueno Loco in Falmouth serves up grilled sausages and peppers top and an assort- ment of prettied-up tacos. the experience may be very different when its not a busy turn burn week. I could tell from watching the waiter at this fine-din- ing establishment that the more affordable menu changed his service standard. Its worth noting that Maines Restau- rant Week doesnt inspire such complaints about the food or service. And that Aca- deme is itself an enthusiastic repeat MRW participant. OHea and her husband are to be forgiven for having had to pass this year though in order to be guest chefs on a Hol- land America cruise. Southern Style I f the New York restaurant week mod- el sounds too structured for Maine Charlestons restaurant week is by con- trast very laid back. 62 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine Hungry EyE Weve got a lot of restau- rantsand weve got a lot of foodies says Kathy Britzius executive director of the Great- er Charleston Restaurant Asso- ciation. Holding restaurant week in winter this year Janu- ary 6 to 17 really helps a slow time of year. There is a second restaurant week in the summer. Membership in the GCRA is 300 per year participation in the January week is an addi- tional 300 plus 250 worth of gift cards for the association to hand out as promotion for the week. We have about 140 res- taurants participating. Charlestons bit of learned wisdom In the beginning we structured the meal prices but now we let each place do its own thing. This works so much better. As a result you might have a two-course lunch for 12 at the Lowcountry Bistro 15 cocktailfood pairings at The Gin Joint or a three-course dinner at Circa 1886 for 45. Back Home Tiqa had only been open a few weeks when it signed up for its first restaurant week in 2015. We had a great time says general manager Patrick Morang. This year theyre signed up for lunch and dinner and dinner means an exotic three-course Mediterra- nean feast for 35. I was at Davids for nine years before I came to Tiqa so Ive been in MRW from the get-go. Morang is a fan. Hes got Tiqa signed up for all three special events this year.

T he Grill Room is the hot pink cen- ter of chefowner Harding Lee Smiths rooms. In the heart of Up- per Exchange Street this somehow intui- tively yummy exposed-brick steakhouse bar pulses with a wood-fired grill and pizza oven. Catching the spirit of the place as we enter we relax. This happy crowd obviously wouldnt rather be anywhere else. Starting at the bar we enjoy our first sips of a Paso Robles zinfandel 21 carafe poured by a most amiable bartender. At our table on the quieter side of a glass divider the smoky scent and view of meat being grilled over shooting flames tell us were in for something good. Very decent focaccia and olive oil for dipping have us munching as we eye the menu and gently arguewe both want duck. An excellent foie gras appetizer 15 has the wood-grilled liver presented in a crack- er-like edible bowl on a bed of local goat cheese dotted with crisped diced sunchokes and dressed with smoked-tomato coulis. Rich braised local pork belly 12 comes with insanely delicious citrus cherry gas- trique and marinated currants. Tender slices of well marinated rare hanger steak bask in a fine barnaise sauce 26 dinner 21 a la carte. Fish or meat may be ordered without accompaniments and assorted sides are available separately good idea we agree. The steak dinner includes the famous sea-salt friesthese are legendary a verita- ble mountain of delicious thin-cut fries that no one could ever eat at one sitting A side of blue cheese vinaigrette 1 for dipping is nice but not necessary because the chive-en- hanced ketchup is stunning. The duck breast dinner 3923 is ab- solute magic. The thinly sliced breast has deliciously crisped skin and a perfect pink in the middle of each heavenly bite. Ri- sottos flavor is enhanced by grilled shii- take and cremini mushrooms and fresh spinach leavesa creative combination crowned with a grilled foie gras lobe atop the entire presentation.

When Marion Payson 1896-1999 looked out the windows of her Cumberland Foreside estate to see the new Central Maine Power station on Cousins Island across Broad Cove she called up CMP and sent paint to the plant at her expense so they could brush the bottom half like the island and the top half like the sunset. Or at least thats how another Payson story goes. It is a miracle of elevated perspective if she thought she could do this and an even deeper miracle that CMP complied.

A development company 179 Foreside LLC bought 104 acres of the Payson estate in Cumberland Foreside on Friday then im- mediately sold 25 acres of prime woodland and Casco Bay waterfront to the town. Vot- ers decided in November to borrow 3 mil- lion to finance the deal. Following conten- tious local campaigns the vote was 2372 to 2126 or 53 percent in favor. Town officials hope to allow limited public access as ear- ly as Memorial Day 2014 though the heirs of Marion Payson filed a lawsuit Thursday seeking to block public access to the beach. Long story longer the Payson heirs didnt win that aspect of the contest though there are follow-up court disputes. None of which reduces the beauty of the mansion at 179 Foreside Road as a dream structure it- self. In a sense the process unveils it. I lived for several years in Falmouth Foreside and Id never seen it before. But the longer you look at it the more unforgettable it is. Enough pre-tour whispers.

Before this house was built during Prohibition there was a Bootleggers Path to Broad Cove Bill says. once some officials floated over to the grassy fields to check the site and they approached young eliot Phillipss son. Do you know where your father is they asked. yes eliot said. hes out in the field with some men shoving bottles into haystacks.

Just as you enter theres a curved door into a roomwhere fresh flowers were prepared. The bespoke door was steamed into shape the way shipwrights shape the curved hulls of boats. Another great touch I like the bar in the wood-paneled library. On the legal side There is a dis- pute between Peter E. Robbins with siblings Jen Bill and Mary against the Town for desiring to put a 30-space parking lot near the beach. He is bit- ter about the sale because the town didnt approach him to buy it while he was an owner before the investment trio of Bateman Bateman and Anastos bought it. Thats not true Bill Robbins says. It all unraveled. In our opinion a park- ing lot like that and certain other issues cant happen because of our grand- mothers conservation easement.

F e b r u a r y M a r c h 2016 93 Fiction Jason Brown staffimage J immy an old friend of her husbands showed up with a goat in the back of his truck and his arms crossed under his ridiculous mustache. The goat he ex- plained had shown up at his job site near Robinhood Cove. I know where it liveson this little island up the Sassanoa. A nice afternoon for a boat trip. He held up his hand to take the tem- perature of the air. Warm for late March. A false spring. She knew what he wanted. Shed been puttinghimoffformorethanayearfirstbe- cause her husband had only just died then because of Jimmys wife a Canadian wom- an who worked at the library and finally be- cause contrary to what Jimmy thought he was not mysterious dangerous or adven- turous. For some reason though the same type of behavior that had made her dislike him in high schoolrusty cars full of beer cans cheating on his girlfriends growing ridiculous mustachesnow made her want to get in the truck with him. Hurtling down 127 with the goat pressed against the rear window of the cab Marian thought of the stories her husband Frank- lin had told her about working with Jim- my walking away from half-finished jobs shoddy work. Jimmy continued to talk about the goat and for a moment she almost believed him. A man and his girlfriend hid- ing from the feds on Stinson Island drugs Jimmy said and using the goat for cover. She didnt believe the people existed at all but she didnt care. Better than an afternoon at work where her boss Mr. Ingersoll the lawyer in Bath in case you made the mis- take of underestimating his importance the degree from Harvard hung on the wall to the right of his desk hummed all day as he chewed typing paper. When she couldnt sleep at night which was often she heard his teeth grinding. At the harbor the goat eyed her wari- ly from its left eye and blinked. Or winked. A tinkling sound alerted her to the goats leather collar. Natalie a tag said. Are you sure this goat belongs to drug dealers she asked. What Yes. He tied the goat to the center console of the boat and they sped upriver toward Montsweag Bay. She hadnt been this way since before her husband drowned. Jimmy nosed the boat up to the beach of the small island cut the engine and tossed the an- chor. Then he started to take off his shoes and pants. Dont want to get my jeans wet. He smiled. She took off her shoes and pants leav- ing on her shirt and underwear and hopped into the shallows. The goat stomped. She must be afraid of the water Mar- ian said.

If she could go back Marian would be a lawyer like Mr. Ingersoll. To point out the flaws in peoples thinking a job she thought she would very much enjoy. Jimmy lifted the goat onto the beach and then all three of them stood with their feet in the surprisingly warm sand. Snow had fallen only three weeks ago. Jimmy had nice legsjust the same really after all these yearsand he still had a narrow waist and knobby shoulders. Just as she had in high school she felt the force of a boys attention wearing away at her. Easier to fall into the current of someone elses desire than to wor- ry about ones own. Jimmy kissed her lightly then firm- ly on the mouth. He pressed the small of her back and she felt his thighs and every- thing else press up against her bare legs. She thought of boys practicing football in tank tops and standing around with them in the school parking lot as heat rose off the hoods of their trucks. C ome on he said tugging her by the hand along a path to the mid- dle of the island. The cabin leaned the boards worn gray. Inside they found a single empty can in one corner a broom in the other and the stale smell of trapped air. She pulled her hand away from his and went over to the one window. Jimmy followed but stopped several feet behind her. She had no desire to turn around and see his pale arms and legs covered in coarse dark hair and the mottled skin of his cheeks where he had suffered from acne as a teenager. She didnt want to see his nakedness any more than she wanted to think of her own bulging legs and sagging belly. A smell not of some- thing dead but of something alive pinched her nose. Mildew and wet wood the damp earth under the floorboards or their uncov- ered bodies. She sat on the floor and leaned against the wall with her legs pulled up and he sat opposite her sulking. Cold washed along the floor. Jimmy huffed to his feet and went outside. Mar- ian stretched her shirt over her legs as she started to shiver. Soon she heard scratch- ing in the bushes next to the cabin. The goat appeared in the doorway and stared at her with its small eyes. Marian would not be surprised to hear the goat speak. When the goat had nothing to say though she thought it might be a long time before she heard a human voice again. Then Jimmy arrived LAUR Portla 2nd G L.P. 54 Wes 207- LP Appliances - SalesServiceBedding 54 Bridgton Road Westbrook Maine 207-797-3621 www.lpapplianceme.com Purchase any Serta iComfort or iSeries mattress set between February 3 2016 and February 29 2016 and receive your choice of either a free standard box spring same size as the mattress purchased or up to 400 off a qualied Serta adjustable foundation.

We got a problem he said. This did not surprise her. She had ex- pected a problem. She didnt feel eager to find out what kind of problem they had but she followed him to the beach. The tide had come up. In the failing light Jimmy turned as red as a boy caught stealing from the cor- ner store. I threw out the anchor but I guess I didnt tie it to the boat he said. Oh well she said and laughed. She scanned the shore upriver until she thought she saw the boat wedged into a marsh. But that must be a mile away he said. Were not marooned. She nodded at the shoreline closest to the island a hun- dred yards away. In the time it would take Jimmy to swim across and bushwhack his way to the boat the cold would deepen. Not enough to kill her just enough to bore into her and form a hard layer under her skin. He removed his plaid shirt folded it in half and placed it on a rock then he stepped out of his boxer shorts and rested them on top of his shirt. He crouched wrapping his arms around his legs. His naked butt re- minded her of a cod gasping from the end of a hook. Ill be right back he said over his shoulder and she nodded even though her lips would turn blue by the time he reached the boat. In the current he slowed drifted right and for a moment she thought he would go under as her husband had leaving no body nothing to mourn. But Jimmy reached shore pulled himself up the granite ledge and stood. They faced each other across the channel. She couldnt see his faceit was too darkand she guessed he couldnt see hers. He lifted his hand and waved and she waved back. Then he turned away. He pushed through the bayberry and picked up speed until his pale arms whispered through the air like the wings of a heron. n Jason Brown is the author of Driving the Heart and Other Stories W.W.Norton and Why the Devil Chose New England For His Work Grove Atlantic.Born in HallowellBrowns stories have won awards and ap- peared in Best American Short StoriesThe Atlantic Harpersand other magazines and anthologiesand have been performed on NPRs Selected Shorts.He teaches writing at the University of Oregon.
