Who will gotohearWilco?It could be you,

lucky readerOn Sept. 27, Wilco will release "The Whole

Love," the long-awaited follow-up to2009's Top 5 eponymous CD by the alt-

rock band.But on Sept. 26, a few lucky fans will get the

opportunity to hear the album in its entiretyduring a private listening party hosted bymulti-Grammy winner Bob Ludwig of Gate-way Mastering in Portland.

And two passes to thatparty are being givenaway exclusively by GO.

Wilco has alreadystreamed the album liveon its website, continu-ing a practice that beganwith the classic "YankeeHotel Foxtrot" in 2002.But the listening partyprovides the opportunityto hear it on the bestsound system moneycan buy in an intimate setting.

If early buzz is any indication, "The WholeLove" - the first on Wilco's own label, dBpm- should provide quite the listening experi-ence. The debut single, "I Might," is a mon-ster rock tune, with a thundering bass line,fuzz-tone guitar and keyboards reminiscent ofa mid-'60s garage-band stomp.

It sounds fresh and retro at the same time- which has been par for the course forthe musically ambidextrous Wilco since itemerged from the breakup of the influentialcountry-alt band Uncle Tupelo in 1994. Sincethen, it's racked up eight critically acclaimedstudio CDs, four Top 20 albums and fiveGrammy nominations (out of which the bandwon two).

To enter our contest, email your full name,mailing address and phone number to theemail address listed at the bottom of thiscolumn. Only one entry per person is allowed;entries without a complete name, addressand phone number will be disqualified. Dead-line to enter is noon Monday, Sept. 12.

A pair of tickets will be awarded to one en-trant via a random drawing. The winner willbe announced in this column on Sept. 15.

If you want to double your chances of win-ning, you can also enter via Bull Moose Musicat tinyurl.com/wilcoparty. However, you canonly win once.

"The Whole Love" will be available forpurchase at all Bull Moose Music locationsbeginning at midnight Sept. 26. As with mostnew releases these days, it will be availableon multiple formats: A single 12-track CD($9.97); a 16-track double CD ($13.97); and adouble LP with 13 tracks exclusive to vinyl,plus the CD itself ($21.97).

Nigel Hall, veteran of Gov't Mule and The Allman Brothers Band, cut his musical teethin Portland and is back in town to play old-school soul with the Warren Haynes Band.

By RAY ROUTHIERStaffWriter

hen Nigel Hall wasplaying aroundPortland a fewyears ago, he wasone of the manylocal musicians

hoping to build a fan base andmake music a full-time career.

Now, as he prepares to playwith the Warren Haynes Bandat Portland's State Theatre onSaturday, he can say he's prettymuch accomplished thosethings. Haynes is a rock veteranwho founded Gov't Mule andhas been a long-time memberof The Allman Brothers Band.

"We had met through somemutual friends, and I had hearda lot of good things about him.Then I found out what a greatsinger and keyboard player heis," said Haynes of Hall. "So

I'm excited for him to be able tocome back to Portland to play."

Hall, 29, lived in the Washing-ton, D.C., area until his fam-ily moved to the Bangor areawhen he was 15. He eventuallyformed a band and became astaple of the Portland musicscene. He moved to New Yorka few years ago to pursue moremusical opportunities.

"I am excited to come back,because Portland is reallywhere I started to cut my teethas a musician," he said. "I'm soappreciative of everyone in thatscene."

While in Portland, Hall playedwith sax player Ryan Zoidis,a former member of RusticOvertones and the national actSoulive. While in New York, Hallmet Haynes through membersof Soulive.

"I met Warren when a bunch

of us went to see a show by IvanNeville and Dumpstaphunk,"said Hall. "He said then, 'Oneday, we'll play together.' "

Haynes, 51, is a native ofAsheville, N.C., and has severalmusical projects going at once.With The Warren Haynes Band,the focus is predominantly soulmusic - specifically, the soul ofHaynes' earliest musical he-roes, including James Brown,Wilson Pickett, and Sam andDave.

"That's where I learned howto sing, from those guys, andI sang before I ever playedguitar," said Haynes.

With Gov't Mule, Haynes'focus is jamming on songs thatblend reggae, soul, rock and ahost of other genres. His workwith the Allman Brothers ismore about guitar-driven rock.

"It keeps things interesting,"

he said. "If I only did one thing,I'd get burnt out, I think. Thiskeeps me fresh and inspired."

For his part in the band,Hall often plays an old-schoolkeyboard, like a Hammond B-3or Wurlitzer organ. Playing old-style soul is right up his alley.

"Playing keyboards with thismusic is fun," he said. "I'mreally into it, into being able toadd the vibe."

September brings degrees of cool on local live scene

We're up to our knees in it now, people - "it" being September. My Red Sox anxiety level is elevating as

each day grows a bit shorter. But there's nothing like a live music infusion to cure whatever ails you, so here are four shows to choose from:

Guitarist Nina Schmir and pianist Anna Dagmar are a pair of singer-songwrit­

ers performing at Blue tonight. Before going solo, Portlander Schmir started off singing in pubs in the south of France as part of a folk/country duo. Her influences are both American and Euro­pean, and she's got a knack for writing dark lyrics with cheery, pop melodies.

Dagmar, a New Yorker who was born in the U.K., also fla­vors her music with European spice. She received five awards in the 2011 Mid-Atlantic Song-writing Contest, has had airplay on more than 100 stations nationwide (reaching No. 6 on the National Roots Mu­sic Report), and is in the midst of making her fourth album.

Schmir and Dagmar first met as mem­bers of a women's music collective in NYC. In addition to their concert, they will be performing live on WMPG (90.9/104.1 FM) this morning between 8:30 and 10:30

Anna Dagmar and Nina Schmir. 8 tonight. Blue, 650A Congress St., Portland. No cover. All ages. portcityblue.com

_-A11 the Brighter" is the debut CD from M Portland-born fiddler and singer Lau­

ren Rioux. She's celebrating its release with a show at One Longfellow Square.

I've been spinning "All the Brighter" at my desk for the better part of three weeks, and find it to be an enchanting, thoughtful and musically satiating dozen songs.

"Hosses in the Canebreak," a traditional Kentucky tune, starts the album off on a blithesome note as Rioux's fiddle melds with a second from Crooked Still's Brit­tany Haas and with Darol Anger's violin. Local mandolin player Joe Walsh wrote the next song, "One Does What One Can," and his playing, along with Lincoln Mey­ers' guitar and Rioux's fiddle, make for a sweet, hopeful tune.

"Music Tree" introduces Rioux's vocals, which also can be heard on three other "Brighter" tracks, including Cole Porter's "Miss Otis Regrets." Her honey-sweet voice doesn't overwhelm, but rather acts as another instrument among the flurry of assorted strings. The other song I'll mention among the loveliness of this CD is the Rioux-penned instrumental "The Beryline Savante," which features cellist Mike Block.

All in all, "All the Brighter" is a well-mixed and well-produced CD with an old-time feel, but also a sense of nowness. Rioux stands firmly on the string music map, and with "All the Brighter," she'll

continue to divide and conquer. Nicely done.

Lauren Rioux CD-release show. 8 p.m. Friday. One Longfellow Square, 181 State St., Portland. $15, $18; onelongfellowsquare.com

What Cheer? Brigade is a 19-piece brass marching band from Providence, R.I. I

wonder if they travel in a Partridge Fam­ily-style bus?

What I know and can share with you is that the group takes music from Bollywood, the Balkans and New Orleans, throws it all in a blender, and then adds samba and hip-hop. Suffice to say, there's a special button on this blender called "crazymix" because the sound that's produced is a limb-shak­ing, grin-inducing concoction.

Hear the madness at whatcheerbrigade.com, or do what I did and like the band on

Facebook. Either way your ears are gon­na be yanked down the Brigade's rabbit hole, and you're not gonna surface for a good long time. Opening the show is Jose Ayerve's solo incarnation A Severe Joy.

What Cheer? Brigade with A Severe Joy. 9 p.m. Friday. Space Gallery, 538 Congress St., Portland. $10. Ages 21 and older. space538,org

Iofficially challenge the notion of you can't judge a book by its cover because I loved

Gin Mill Julep before hearing them for two reasons. First, that name is awesome. Second, the group describes its music as "Prohibition era pop songs, traditional Finnish melodies and silly barnyard dit­ties."

I mean, honestly, what's not to love? I quickly repaired to Gin Mill Julep's

MySpace page to listen to some tunes, and "My Old Man" is the cat's pajamas, as is "Lazy Bones." "You'll never get your cornmeal made sleeping in the evening shade," the band members croon. Smiles all around for the vocals, stand-up bass, mandolin and accordion.

Gin Mill Julep. 7 p.m. Satur­day. The Local Buzz, 327 Ocean House Road, Cape Elizabeth. Free. capelocalbuzz.com

Songwriters Erin Sprinkle and Dave Noyes, along with Pat Corrigan and Jeremy and Jerusha Robinson, make up Plains.

Plains promises gentle music, heavy lyrics, lots of character

Dave Noyes and Erin Sprinkle col­laborate in a loose, whimsical way on purpose when writing songs

for their "gazey electro space country gospel" project Plains. The band mem­bers, who combine as a quintet at full strength, enjoy the release from their respective day jobs, a time to connect under the same soulful banner and make creative progress together.

Catch Plains - which also includes Pat Corrigan and Jeremy and Jerusha Robinson - as the group shares some tracks from its upcoming record Friday at The Oak and the Ax in Biddeford.

Here's what Corrigan had to say about the band:

How do Dave and Erin get along as writers? What's the meeting point of the two individual styles?

Dave and Erin get along very well as writers. They respect each other's work, and work hard to perform each other's songs with soul. Meeting point is heavy lyrics, gentle music.

What are some of the day jobs in the band? Is it easy to moonlight as a musi­cian?

Sign language translator, house painter, illustrator, screen printer, food service worker. I'd say no, it isn't. But it builds character, which is the coin of the realm.

Why was it necessary to create Apoha-dion Records and the projects under that umbrella rather than just tour as Plains?

It isn't necessary, but it is fun, and we care about how things are done.

How is your sound unique? Our sound is gazey electro space country

gospel. The vocals sometimes bring tears to my eyes - they are the centerpiece.

REVIEW

O'Leary takes too few risks to makeher 'Broken Mirror' earth-shattering

By MIKE OLCOTTA better-than-average writer with

Portland roots is starting to make somerumblings in Michigan. On her latest,"Broken Mirror Baby," chanteuse Alejan-dra O'Leary's straightforward doo-woprock is polished and well-designed, evenfor a "smaht" kid. An English major atYale, O'Leary's work sometimes feelsforcibly restrained, like there's a JohnKeats in there clawing to get out and spillwords willy-nilly.

O'Leary shows a knack for radio sheenwith the opener "(a The Club." The tuneis a modern barfly's lament, bright andcatchy with an authentically humansing-along chorus. Set highlight "On YourDime" flashes some big Phil Spector har-monies and a clever premise that recallsgold memories someone else paid for."When Will They Learn?" opens layer bylayer, like clockwork Elvis Costello pop.

O'Leary's songs work when she takesrisks. But overall, on "Broken MirrorBaby," she takes too few.

Kudos to O'Leary for fighting to bringher big hooks to life. On "Broken MirrorBaby," the song ideas, and the playerssqueezing them for all the juice, are vitallyconsistent. At times, though, O'Leary suf-fers a sluggish diction, falling behind thebeat like she was playing fluffy bunny inthe studio at the time.

The talented vocalist and songwriter

HOW IT RATESALEJANDRA O'LEARY: "BROKEN MIRRORBABY"LABEL: Hollow Body Records

Based on a five-star scale

will enjoy a surge of confidence once shedevelops a more precise delivery, but fornow, the songs are enough to carry theday.

Movies at the Museum carriesthe torch for cinematic art

The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, September 8, 2011 GO E13

When the Movies onExchange Street lockedits wrought-iron gates

for the final time in late 2008,Maine film fans mourned. Wefelt the sudden absence of Port-land's only neighborhood one-screen theater. We were sad-dened at the prospect of havingto schlep out to the overpricedplastic comforts of the chaintheaters by the Maine Mallinstead of just slouching intothe Movies' cramped,grubby seats and some-times straining to hearthe dialogue. We grievedfor the knowledgeable,snarky employees andthe underpriced snacks.

But most of all, welamented the loss of theone theater in town thatcatered to our insatiabledesire for the best, theweirdest, the most ob-scure films the world hadto offer.

In retrospect, we mayhave overreacted a bit.

That's because whenowners Stephen andJudy Halpert shutteredthe Movies on ExchangeStreet (after 32 years),they simply moved upCongress Street andopened up shop at thePortland Museum of Art,rechristening their shows Movies at theMuseum (portlandmuseum.org.)

And while the Movies' new digs hadsome downside (showings only on week-ends, the imposing cleanliness and bright-ness of a museum rather than the invitingmurk beloved of film freaks), it alsooffered significant improvements (betterequipment and sound) and the continuityof the original owners' stewardship.

"Steve Halpert is still in charge of theselection and booking," assures PMAdirector of education Dana Baldwin, who,alongside Halpert, selects the films. "Hehas 30-plus years of experience and con-tacts in this business, and loyal ExchangeStreet customers remember the greatselection he brought there."

With Halpert's help, Movies at theMuseum has successfully carried on theExchange Street mission, with more than7,000 people visiting in each of the last twoyears to catch an impressively varied ros-ter of foreign films, documentaries and oc-casional oddities. Still, concedes KristenLevesque, PMA's director of marketingand public relations, "I don't think peoplerealize what great movies we get."

To remedy that, and perhaps to entice awider (and, dare I say, younger) audience,Movies at the Museum is teaming up withSpace Gallery, arguably Portland's Hippestmovie (and art, and performance) venue,to co-sponsor screenings this fall.

Movies at the Museumand Space Gallery present"Beats, Rhymes and Life"Sept. 23-25.

The partnership begins withthe raucous hip-hop docu-mentary "Beats, Rhymes andLife: The Travels of A TribeCalled Quest," from Sept. 23to 25. Then, from Oct. 14 to 16,the two venues will re-teamto bring in the groundbreak-ing documentary "Life in aDay," for which director KevinMacdonald culled snippets of asingle day from 80,000 YouTubevideos from around the world.

Says Baldwin, "It's ex-citing to work with otherorganizations, to bringnew audiences to themuseum, and then sharewith them our otherprogramming."

In addition to thispartnership with Space,the Movies continues toschedule exciting, chal-lenging films - look forthe stirring South Afri-can film "Life, Above All"and "El Bulli: Cooking inProgress," a documen-tary about what may bethe oddest restaurant inthe world, among others.

"We've got a number ofNew York Times critics'picks, some that arescreening right now inNYC, sometimes screen-ing here before NYC,"says Baldwin.

So, Portland film fans, dry your eyes- the adventurous cinematic spirit of theMovies on Exchange Street is still alive.It's just moved uptown a bit.

RELEASESNEW ON DVD AND BLU-RAY

"HANNA," starring Saoirse Ronan and EricBana. A thrilling departure for director JoeWright ("Atonement") is a tense and thoroughlyintriguing action-drama, following the titularteenager (Ronan), a young woman raised in thewoods by her CIA agent father (Bana, "Munich")to be a deadly assassin. It's a necessary evil dueto the legions of enemies that dear old dad hasamassed over the years, foremost of which is thealways excellent Gate Blanchett as a particularlydetermined intelligence operative. A first-classthriller. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:51

Suggested retail price: DVD $29.98; Blu-ray$34.98

"X-MEN: FIRST CLASS," starring James McAvoyand Michael Fassbinder. The latest installment inthe ongoing series based on the popular line ofMarvel comic books involving mutants and theirvarious powers is arguably the best yet, withdirector Matthew Vaughn ("Kick-Ass") breath-ing new life into a wheezing franchise with thisretroactive prequel detailing the roots of Xavier(McAvoy, taking over for Patrick Stewart) andMagneto (Fassbinder of "Fish Tank," proving anideal stand-in for Ian McKellan). "Class" makesgood old-fashioned storytelling its focal point,resulting in high-end Hollywood entertainment.Rated PG-13. Running time: 2:12

Suggested retail price: DVD $29.98; Blu-ray$39.99

SON," starring Joel McHale and Gillian Jacobs.Consistently clever and perfectly cast, this

freewheeling sitcom revolving around the anticsof an eclectic group of students semi-studyingat a community college has garnered a sizablecult following thanks to hilarious characters anda willingness to go way out on a limb for a laugh.Not rated; contains language and crude humor.Running time: 8:24

Suggested retail price: $39.99

"FRINGE: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON,"

starring Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson. It tooksome time to find its footing, but J.J. Abrams'("Lost") latest TV offering is now privy to oneof the most rabid fan bases with its loopy, time-bending plotlines and wonderfully delivered, of-ten hilarious interplay between leads Torv, Jack-son and especially Emmy nominee John Nobleas the brilliant but senile Dr. Walter Bishop. Oftencompared to "The X-Files," "Fringe" is well worthcatching up with. Not rated; contains languageand violence. Running time: 16.52

Suggested retail price: DVD $59.98; Blu-ray$69.97

"THE OFFICE: SEASON SEVEN," starring SteveCarell and Rainn Wilson. More awkward work-place hijinks from everybody's favorite gang of

incompetent lunatics. Season seven is notablefor being Carell's final year with the crew asmanager and lovable buffoon Michael Scott. Thehourlong farewell episode includes appearancesfrom Jim Carrey, Will Arnett, James Spader,Catherine Tate and Ray Romano, all of whom arejockeying for Michael's coveted position. Mean-while, the diabolical Dwight (Wilson, reveling inpetty villainy) manages to purchase the DunderMifflin building, with the expected disastrousresult. Not rated; contains language and crudehumor. Running time: 9:06

Suggested retail price: DVD $49.98; Blu-ray$59.98

VIDEOPORT PICKS

"EVERYTHING MUST GO," starring Will Ferrelland Rebecca Hall. Ferrell is more in "StrangerThan Fiction" mode than "Anchorman" here,with largely favorable results.

While still his usual funnyself, Ferrell turns in a fully realized performance.Rated R for language and some sexual content.Running time: 1:37

Suggested retail price: DVD $27.98; Blu-ray$39.99

"PARKS AND RECREATION: THE COMPLETESEASON THREE," starring Amy Poehler and NickOfferman. Let's try this again: Please, for the loveof all that is holy, watch this wonderful, won-derful television program.

he path to Starlight Cafe in Bath isn't clear to first-timers.

A trick: From Front Street, follow the stars to a small cor­ner door. Behind it, anadama bread is being baked from a generations-old recipe. Sausage is popping on the griddle. The whoopie pies are flourishing.

The tabletops, swirled with a near-paisley pattern of blue and green, are dressed with quaint salt and pepper shakers, a small bundle of fresh flowers and a box of Trivial Pursuit cards. (I was able to rightly answer that penguins are birds that swim but do not fly, but not a single other question.)

An older couple shared a table near the kitchen and chatted to the staff while they cooked, the way an out-of-town visitor might talk you up from your kitchen table while you flipped pancakes made in her honor. The cafe's walls make a happy home for black-and-white photos of brash old grannies play­ing a fierce game of pool and bumper stickers that read, "Well-behaved women seldom make history." A door restricted to employees doesn't say "Em­ployees Only." Instead, a violin hangs on the door, and written on the violin: "Do not enter unless you plan on stocking shelves."

Open until 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday, Starlight Cafe serves up the day's first two meals. It being 11 a.m. when I arrived - a gray area in the traditional three-squares-a-day eating philosophy -1 struggled with the menu. It was sausage versus salad, breakfast

GUIDE

Petite Jacqueline broadens horizons in a big wayBy ELISA DOUCETTE

Anyone who is looking for a dose ofculture and international travel in theGreater Portland area will be well-

served to visit Petite Jacqueline, a newFrench bistro in Longfellow Square.

Another offering from owners Michelleand Steve Corry (the folks who gracedPortland's Arts District with 555 and thePoint 5 Lounge) and their business part-ner Liz Kayo, Petite Jacqueline brings theambience of a French cafe and restaurantwith the comfort and pricing of a neigh-borhood favorite, passport stamp optional.

With the fleeting days of summer stillhere but the crisp autumn season comingsoon, the first and most popular featureof the restaurant is the sidewalk patio,filled with mostly two-seat metal tablesand chairs. The venue is only open for theevening crowd so the preference is to seatdiners in the cafe, but it is always worthasking because of the people-watchingopportunities in Longfellow Square.

Inside, Petite Jacqueline adopts thesame spatial structure as so many busi-nesses in downtown Portland: Long andnarrow, reaching far into the back of thebuilding, with the kitchen up a half-stair-well and almost hidden on a platformspace looking down into the dining room.

The front of the restaurant area is situ-ated between three-quarter-wall plate-glass windows looking out onto the streetand a half-wall on the left, topped with afrosted glass window. If you wander be-yond this point, you will find the bar cozilyoccupying the back corner.

The bar, which easily seats a dozen orso customers, is a tall, wooden L-shapedstructure with a gray-painted, thickwooden top. Hanging overhead, bare-bulb yellow light sconces provide a warmsetting that will make you wish you werewearing a beret. The servers, all extreme-ly friendly and speedy-quick, scurry fromthe kitchen to the bar to the restauranttables and patio patrons, sporting thestaple French uniform of red- or black-striped shirts and nondescript bottoms.

As I looked over the drink menus (yes,plural), including a full wine selection,cocktails and beer, I was surprised atthe wide range of choices. Expecting

to find wines with which I was barelyfamiliar and cocktails drowning in Frenchjargon, instead I found local ales and avast selection of reds, whites, sparklingand rose wines. The cocktails are a littleoverwhelming when you look at the onlinemenu, but have no fear - they are spelledout in detail for customers with the differ-ent liquors and mixers.

Draft beer at Petite Jacqueline variesfrom local darling Allagash White ($4.50)to German Hefe Dunkel Weihenstephan($6.50), with staples such as Stella Artois($4.50) and Urquell ($5.50) in between.Although the wines are almost exclu-

sively French imports, the waitstaff andbartenders are educated in the variousblends and flavors. A friend who recentlyvisited asked for a tasting of somethingred and very smooth. Although the firstoffering was a little too tart for her palate,the next was precisely what she was look-ing for.

There are more than a dozen winesavailable by the glass (reds, whites androse, $5 to $11). There are also half a

dozen half-bottles ($18 to $60), includinga couple of different champagnes. Thereare only a small number of vineyards thatare able to claim the genuine "cham-pagne" classification: Made with grapesfrom the Champagne region of France.

If you are with a large group or havesome time to savor, there are also fullbottles of regular stock ($23 to $56) andreserve wines ($59 to $170).

The cocktails take their cues from stan-dard French fare, and feature ingredientssuch as cognac, champagne toppers andGrand Marnier. Wanting to feel a little"Moulin Rouge," I ordered the FrenchKiss (absinthe, bourbon, Lillet and 7-Up;$7) because I felt there was no way to bedisappointed in a drink that was madewith both bourbon and absinthe. To theglee of my taste buds, I was not disap-pointed in the slightest.

If those liquors sound a little gruff, youmay want to try the French ConnectionCosmo (cognac, Grand Marnier and cran-berry juice; $11) or the Belgian OrangeBlossom (vodka, grapefruit juice, bitters,

surprisingly awesome combi-nation, do we not?" The breadwas wonderfully fat but crisp.I moved to put the half-eatenhalf-of-a-sandwich down to makea few notes, but my hand wouldnot release it. I must. Keep.Eating it.

Eventually, I moved on to thepancake, the size of which over-whelmed the dinner plate onwhich it was served. From myoverhead angle, the plate wasn't

even visible. The monster flap-jack appeared to hover abovethe table like some edible UFO.

The sweet mush of black-berry, countered by the crunchof almond and coating of realmaple syrup, led me to believethis pancake's origin was moreheavenly.

Starlight has a broad breakfastmenu, including "the breakfast"of two eggs any style, choice ofbacon, smoked ham or sausagewith home fries, toast and coffeeor tea ($6.25).

Omelets are made with Maineeggs, and can be ordered with

cheese ($5.25), veggies andcheese ($6.95) or ham, baconor sausage and cheese ($6.95).There's homemade corned beefhash ($7.50), a breakfast burrito($7.50) and "big as your head"cinnamon buns ($1.95).

Plate-sized pancakes (andthey're not joking) are madeplain ($2.95), with blueberries orraspberries ($3.50), or chocolatechips ($3.50). They'll even do aFrench toast twist to their owncinnamon buns for $4.50.

For lunch, Starlight offers"supersized" sandwiches ($6.50)that diners can build to their

personal liking from a list offresh breads, meats, cheeses,veggies and dressings. If, likeme, that many decisions sendsyour lunch-hour brain intomeltdown, there's a handfulof specialty sandwiches fromwhich to choose, such as thegrilled veggie ($7.25), turkey andspinach melt ($7.50) and grilledquesadillas ($7.50; add ham,turkey or roast beef for $8.75).

Water and coffee are availablehelp-yourself style in the din-ing area, but drinks and mealscan be taken to go for folks in arush. For those who choose to

dine in (and perhaps exercisetheir trivia muscles), Starlightis a bus-your-own-table kind ofestablishment where dishes, re-cyclables and garbage is dividedinto bins.

With your first visit underyour belt, you'll have no troublefinding Starlight Cafe again. Andyou'll want to. But should youhave any trouble the second,third or 30th time, just tilt yournose to the air and follow thescent of baking cookies andmelon-sized whoopie pies.

It's s ow timeAll of the ingredients - including chef Michael Barna - are prepped

for Saturday's Taste of Home cooking show in Augusta.TASTE OF HOME COOKING SCHOOLWHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday; doors openat 4:30 p.m. for shopping andsamplingWHERE: Augusta Civic Center, 76Community DriveHOW MUCH: $10 to $20INFO: 626-2400; facebook.com/#!/TasteOfHomeMaine

By MEREDITH GOADStaffWriter

ichael Barna has been getting ready for you, Augusta.Barna, a chef with Taste of Home magazine (circula-

tion 3.2 million), does 45 cooking shows a year, somein the fall and some in the spring. His show Saturdayat the Augusta Civic Center will be his first for theautumn series, so he's been at the Taste of Home

Cooking School headquarters in Wisconsin prepping himself."We fly in there about 11 days before each show season, about

three weeks before it starts, and we all practice and get downour stage legs," he said.

Barna doesn't worry about the actualcooking aspects of the show - cooking is"like breathing to me," he says - but hedoes have to be prepared for anythingand everything that comes with doing alive show.

"You have to know how to react in-stantly," he said. "You're live. You're infront of everybody. So if the pan blows upor something happens, you make a joke,you say something funny. You just keepmoving along."

Barna, who lives in Wynnewood, Pa., isthe only man who does the live shows,and the only executive chef among thefull-time staff of culinary specialists whoperform.

"I travel from Ohio to Maine to doshows, so in a season, I'll have anywherefrom two to three shows a week, jumpingfrom Maine back down to Pennsylvaniaand back up to New York," he said.

Barna is a graduate of the CulinaryInstitute of America. He's also a FrankSinatra fan, and will likely begin theAugusta show with a little crooning by 01'Blue Eyes.

The chef will be teaching 10 recipesduring the two-and-a-half hour show,beginning with pumpkin whoopie pies - a

recipe he's also taught in Pennsylvania,which is currently in a little dust-up withMaine over which state created the treat.

Barna will also be demonstratingrecipes for a raspberry mustard-glazedpork roast, huevos rancheros, barbecuechicken pizza and a rich agave chocolatecake.

"Throughout all these recipes, I throwin interesting things related to the dish,whether it's where is agave from, whatelse do they use it for - of course, tequi-la," Barna said. "And then throughout thewhole recipe, I pepper in tons of tech-niques and tips. That's sort of my thing."

Taste of Home and its sponsors giveaway 50 to 60 gifts during the show, butthe audience goes home with a lot morethan that.

"It's all about getting them to under-stand these 10 recipes down pat so whenthey go away with the magazine - every-body gets a goodie bag with the magazine- they will easily be able to go home andtruly make these exactly like it looks inthe picture," Barna said.

Fest quenches thirst for new beers -1 ounces at a timeThe inaugural Portland Brew

Festival at the PortlandCompany Complex last

weekend gave me a chance totaste a lot of new beers.

I went with the intent ofnot drinking any beer that Ihave had before, and with twoexceptions, I lived up to thatintent.

One of the exceptions was forOlde Burnside Brewing Co. outof East Hartford, Conn. Longbefore I started writing this column, myson-in-law, Christian - who attendedthe festival with me - had been bringinghome growlers of Old Burnside's TenPenny Ale, Dirty Penny Ale and PennyWeiz ale, and we loved it. Then all of asudden, it disappeared.

The Ten Penny Ale is a trueScottish ale, Dirty Penny isTen Penny with a bit of drystout added to create a blackand tan, and Penny Weiz is awheat beer. We tried the TenPenny and the Dirty Pennyat the festival, and they both

TOm AtWGll were as g°°d as we remem-u/u i- A i v beredthem.What AleS YOU The person tending the taps

-1 forgot to get his name- said they had been out of

the Portland market for a while, but youwill be able to find them in growlers atspecialty beer stores and at some pubs.

Olde Burnside also makes specialtyales - Amazing Grace, aged in whiskeybarrels, and Ten Penny Ale Reserve - inpint bottles with ceramic spring-loaded

caps, like the ones Grolsch comes in. I'llbe keeping my eyes open. I think I won'tbe the only one. On Sunday afternoon,the lines were longer at Olde Burnsidethan at any other brewer in the building.

Switchback Brewing Co. out of Burling-ton, Vt, was serving only one beer, anunfiltered amber ale that was wonder-fully rich and complex. This has a lot ofmalt, and I would love to have a full pintrather than the 2-ounce serving I got.I'm going to be looking for this one.

Clown Shoes is an excellent breweryout of Ipswich, Mass., although I did notlike its Clementine when I had it lastfall. Lubrication, a dark beer with a bit oforange peel, made up for it. This was asuperb beer.

I also drank two meads and two ciders.The dry hopped mead from Maine

Mead Works in Portland was a combina-tion of bitter and sweet. I liked this quitea bit, but I am a beer drinker, and thehops make it taste more like beer thanmead.

My daughter, Tandy, hates beer, butloves the sparkling strawberry mead,which she gets on tap at J.P Thornton inSouth Portland. I would make sure youknow what you are ordering with thisone.

The mead I had from Fat Friar's inNewcastle is more of what I remem-ber of a mead from Bunratty Castlein Ireland. Sean Bailey, founder of thecompany, said he thought he was goingto be ahead of the wave when he startedbrewing his mead, but Maine Mead

Works came out before he got through the licensing process. I think there is room for both companies in the market.

The Baby Jimmy cider I had from Ur­ban Farm Fermentory was quite good. It was a bit sour, aged in oak, and a little effervescent. It was an interesting and complex drink. I probably shouldn't have tasted the Kennebec Bluberry Hard Ci­der right after the Baby Jimmy, but the blueberry cider just seemed too sweet.

The other repeat beer for me was Narragansett Fest, which I drank and enjoyed last fall. But my contact at Nar­ragansett headquarters told me I should talk to Zac Antczak, who would be doing the pouring. I had a Fest - which was as good as I remembered - while we talked.

And Antczak said there a good chance - no promises, mind you - that Nar­ragansett might be introducing a new year-round beer to go with its lager and four seasonals. It is expected to be a cream ale. I'm looking forward to it.

PUMPKINHEAD LOVERS can rejoice.

Traditionally, Shipyard has stopped brewing its popular seasonal beer around Halloween, but because of the demand, it will keep brewing the beer until after Thanksgiving - in addition to expanding its brewing capacity by 10,000 extra cases a week.

This makes perfect sense to me. I don't like Pumpkinhead, but it is a well-made beer. And if I were to drink it, the ideal time would be with pumpkin pie right after Thanksgiving dinner.

It's your last

at summer Take the Chondola at Sunday River to a fancy meal.

Make it memorable with this list of ideas to close out Maine's shortest sweetest season.From staff reports

ummer is a fair-weath-er friend. She'll warmyour heart and sunyour face for months- long enough for youto start thinking thismight be a "forever"kind of relationship.

But when tempera-tures start drifting

south, she'll high-tail it to Florida for thewinter and spend November through Aprilcozied up to your snowbird of a grandpa.

We can curse her absence later. For now,let's focus on squeezing her for all she'sworth (we mean in a "carpe diem" way).There are still plenty of warm-weatherendeavors to undertake while the lastvestiges of summer turn into the first signsof autumn.

To help you craft truly memorable memo-ries (the happy sort that overshadow asummer that fled too soon), here's a round-up of some less traditional things to do:

A FULL MOON DINNER (and a Chondolaride) at Sunday River, Newry - Romanceelevates the soul. You know what elseelevates the soul? A 1,150-foot-high verticallift Chondola ride.

Sunday River's Full Moon Dinners offera trip up the mountain - under the fullmoon - on the mountain's part chairlift/partgondola Chondola. At the top, guests aretreated to drinks and hors d'oeuvres on theheated patio, then a three- or four-coursedinner and live music inside the Peak

A Segway tour of Portland may helpthe summer-minded segue into autumn.

Lodge.Two Full Moon Dinners are left: this Fri-

day and Oct. 14. Reservations are required,and can be made by calling 824-3000. Cost is$39 per person.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY at Wolfe's Neck Farm,Freeport - Hurricane Irene recentlyknocked over trees with the same easeusually reserved for blinking. And downedtrees lead to people with chain saws.

Sure, horror movies are a good way tolearn how to brandish a power tool, but fora real lesson in real safety, Wolfe's Neck

Megan Sierant of Boston tries clay shooting at L.L. Bean recently.

Farm is offering a chain saw safety class.That way, you won't lose a tree and an armthe next time a storm rolls through. Andlet's face it: Brandishing a chain saw feelscool.

The chain saw safety class is 8 a.m. to4:30 p.m. Sept. 17, and pre-registration isrequired. You must be 18 or older to partici-pate. To register or for more information,go to wolfesneckfarm.org/chainsaw-safety.Cost is $55 per person.

SHOOTING THINGS with L.L. Bean, Freeport- To the chagrin of clay pigeons acrosssouthern Maine, L.L. Bean's Walk-On Ad-ventures make it easy for just about every-one to take up arms against a procession offlying orange discs, thanks to their sportingclays class. For folks who would rather stickit to concentric circles, an archery lesson isavailable too.

The cost ($15 for archery; $20 for sportingclays) includes all equipment, instructionand an hour or two of doing your thing. Signup in person in the hunting wing of L.L.Bean's Freeport campus.

Archery sessions (ages 8 and older) run10 to 11:30 a.m., noon to 1:30 p.m. and 2 to3:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays throughOct. 9. Sporting clays sessions (ages 12 andolder) run from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and from 11a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundaysthrough Oct. 9.

For a real shoot-'em-up treat, try thefive-stand public shoots held at Fogg Farmin Freeport. For $20 per round, you can useL.L. Bean's guns and ammo and try youraim at 25 targets.

The world wasn't made for Dachshunds.Being short of leg and long of torso

presents a pack of everyday problems.For one, Dachshunds have to ask for

help reaching things on high shelves("high" being loosely translated asanything in excess of one foot from the

ground). They haveto look up to conversewith many of their fel-low canines, meaningthey're forced to live ina near-constant stateof neck craning.

Automatic doorsShannon BrVail begin closing before1 their back halves have

Off B@3t even entered the room,sometimes requiringembarrassing auto-

matic-door rescues, and shopping in anaverage store for a sweater that adequate-ly spans the stretch of a Dachshund'smidsection is darn near impossible.

To top it off, someone saw fit to bestowthe animal with the less-than-majesticmoniker of "wiener dog."

It's a good thing Dachshunds have alsobeen gifted with a healthy sense of self-esteem. Their high level of canine priderivals that of their larger cousins, mean-ing a 10-pound Doxie won't hesitate to tella lumbering Labrador what's on his mind.It also means that, while the world wasn'tmade for Dachshunds, that doesn't stopthem from trying to take charge of it.

It's this gigantic spirit that Dachshundowners will be celebrating on Sunday dur-ing the eighth annual Maine Wienerfest inBelfast.

The event brings Dachshunds - as manyas 300 of them in recent years - and thehumans who love them together for anafternoon of wiener-dog races, a costumecontest and "wacky" competitions.

The event runs from noon to 4 p.m. atSteamboat Landing Park on the Belfastwaterfront. And it's quite the spectacle.

"You cannot go there without smilingor laughing at the sight of all these littledogs," said Dale Kuhnert, a Friends of

Belfast Parks volunteer and one of theevent's organizers.

And what better way to kick things offthan a Dachshund parade around theperimeter of the park, where well-dresseddogs can promenade with pride.

Competitions take place under the bigtent and include categories for longestdog, shortest dog, best wiener smile,longest tail, loudest bark, longest sit-stayand best trick.

There are also Long Dog Derby races,where Dachshunds can dash and dartto the finish line. A series of heats willculminate in a final race and an ultimatewinner.

"It's probably the most earnest of thecompetitions," said Kuhnert. "But eventhat is a hoot, because most Dachshundsdon't run in a straight line. They just takeoff and run."

In the adjacent boathouse, Dachshundexperts will give lectures, and a profes-sional dog photographer will snap photosof those camera-loving canines.

Admission costs $1, and entry into indi-vidual competitions is also $1. And whilethe fees won't break the bank, they will gostraight to the dogs. Wienerfest is a fund-raiser for Friends of Belfast Parks, but theproceeds from this event are dedicated tothe maintenance of the town's dog park,so all of Belfast's breeds will benefit.

Wienerfest is "a celebration of every-thing wonderful about Dachshunds," saidKuhnert. But it's for the people too, whoswap stories and share their common in-terest in a little dog with a big personality.

When Dachshund owners get hungry,they can hit the specialty hot dog stand.(What else would one serve at Wiener-fest?) More than 21 different toppings willbe available, so hot dog diners can designtheir own edible creation.

Here's hoping those lively long-bodiedDachshunds also have a sense of humor.

TAKEASEGWAYTOUR through Portland - Seg-ways look a little strange. There's no denying it. But those two-wheeled, self-balancing people movers are a semi-local invention people are slowly learning to appreciate.

It was New Hampshire resident Dean Kamen who thought up the modern-day chariots. Just think, if Kamen lived just 50 miles farther north, the Segway might have been called the Seg-ayuh.

Mainers can still take the vehicles out for a one-hour tour through Portland thanks to Seg­way of Portland. Cost is $65 per person, and tours run daily at 10 a.m., noon, 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. For more information, go to portlandsegway.com.

STOMP AND SIP at V I N f e s t in Lincolnville - There's nothing quite like the feeling of grapes squish­ing between your toes. It's even better when you've had a few drinks. Catch the sensation from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 1 during the annual VINfest at Cellar-door Winery.

In addition to grape stomping, the festival serves up a home wine-making competition, live music and food and wine pairings. Enjoy all this for a $10 cover charge. For more information, visit mainewine.com.

GET LOST in a corn maze in Dayton - The film "The Children of the Corn," based on a short story by Stephen "The Pride of Maine" King, may have scared a generation away from the rustling stalks. But you don't need to be afraid at Pumpkin Valley Farm in Dayton, where the six-acre corn maze is fun for the whole family.

While you're there, take a hayride to the pumpkin patch, launch an ear of corn sky-high or launch yourself on the jumping pillow.

The farm is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays from Sept. 17 to Oct. 30. Tickets cost

$8 each; children under age 2 get in for free. For more information, visit pumpkinvalleyfarm.com.

SWING ABOVE THE TREES at Crazy Apes in Windham - Why let other primates monopolize all the tree-swinging fun? Head to Seacoast Fun Park and tackle the Crazy Apes ropes course and zip lines.

If you have what it takes to handle stomach-lurch­ing drops, thrilling jumps and a 900-foot zip line, you're ready to harness up and go. Ticket prices range from $12 to $40, depending on how much of the course you want to explore.

Call 892-5829 or visit seacoastfunparks.com for more information.

VIEW FOLIAGE f rom t h e a i r in Portland - You've seen Maine's brilliant fall col­ors from the ground. Why not get a birds-eye view? Maine Aviation Corp., which flies out of the Port­land Jetport, offers daily scenic flights from 6 a.m. until sunset.

Up to three people can join a pilot in a Cessna 172 for a cost of $155 per hour. Call 780-1811 to schedule a top-down view of the state's scenery.

FIND TREASURE at M o n t s -weag Flea Market in Woolwich - Few things are as thrilling as finding the old treasure that you had no idea was missing in your life: a collection of unused Nehi bottle caps, an Amelia Earhart train case or a '60s-era flower-power necklace. That's just some of the loot spotted at the Montsweag Flea Market on Route 1.

For fans of antique fish­ing gear and postcards, funky retro kitchenware and an unknown cache of other old delights, this is the place to be. The mar­ket's been going strong for more than 30 years, and is open Wednesday and Friday through Sun­day until Columbus Day weekend.

Most dealers tend to be early birds, so grab your coffee and some cash, and bring an eye for the quirky. Call 443-2809 for more information.
