Dorval was forced to close his stand "Courtney's Countertop" last summer because he had a permit for a mobile lunch stand, but it was in fact stationary. The restaurant had weels, a trailer hitch and an axle from a Plymouth Horizon, but it also had four walls, a roof and doors to keep customers out of the weather. "It didn't appear mobile to anyone but him," said Winslow Town Manager Edward A. Gagnon. "It appeared pretty permanent to us." With the new permit, the Winslow town council stipulated that Dorval's lunch stand new must be located in a commercial zone and must be moved every day at the close of business. • "Courtney's Countertop" is scheduled to reopen for business once the weather warms up.

Although the show did not completely sell out, the production was nothing less than spectacular. The Crowes' "Souled Out" tour, which has been rocking it's way across the United States since this past February, produced sounds in our tiny venue that one would expect to hear in a place like Madison Square Garden. With their soulful lyrics and no-nonsense guitar jams, the Black Crowes proved once again that the heart of American rock and roll is still beating furiously. cr +K r\f ^tarfin irtna chfYMr T*ri norliano rtno fl-»£>Tr Viocf _L'n/-»T,im songs, "Remedy," the group jammed for a good two-and-a- half hours until they had all but taken every drop of energy out of the crowd. Their set-list, comprised of 18 songs and 3 encore performances, included such hits as "Jealous Again," "She Talks to Angels" and "Twice as Hard." Aside from a few incidents of crowd surfing, the production was flawless, ushering in crowds from all over the New England area. Following the show, SGA Social Chair Jesse Dole '99 said that he was very pleased with the performance. "Overall, we had a good night. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and the turnout was great too. We (SGA) hoped that this show would make up for last semester when we really couldn't get anyone. We were actually really lucky to get such a great band. Usually you can't get big groups like that any further north than Portland.
