It’s mid-May and the flowers aren’t the only ones blossoming in the Calais area. Seasonal businesses are opening their doors to welcome patrons back after the long winter months and brand-new businesses are springing up with justifiable enthusiasm. While part of a yearly cycle in some ways, the start of new enterprises is always a welcome sight bearing promise for the future. Baring in particular is rapidly becoming a go-to destination for the extended area as two new eateries are opening their doors. Along with homemade baked goods based on grandma’s recipes, Nie’s Boutique and Bake Shop is aiming to soon offer the first customizable fresh fruit and vegetable smoothies in the region. Just up the road at the soon-to-be launched S’Huckin’s Lobster, visitors will get to partake in the state’s signature shellfish when the diner officially opens. Meanwhile in Calais, North End Pizza is gaining its footing after a successful first month and St. Croix Snack Shack is getting ready to open for its second season. Even more diverse eateries are rumored to be coming soon (keep an eye on future issues to find out more), ensuring that visitors and residents alike will have plenty of cuisine to sample this year. “First we eat, then we do everything else,” as food writer M.F.K. Fisher once said – a statement that sheds light on the potential boon to the community that the opening of more eateries represents. Either way, the variety is unquestionably a gift to local palates.

Brundibar will showcase local students in grades 4 – 12, singing and acting, and working backstage. The story of two kids who, with the aid of the community, unite to defeat a bully is a heart-warming one. Brundibar (the Czech word for “bumblebee”) is an organ grinder whose music is the only kind allowed in town! Pepicek and Annika need money to buy milk for their sick mother. What better way to raise it than by singing in the town square? Their plans are thwarted by Brundibar, but aided by a dog, a sparrow and a cat, AND by all the kids in the local school, they unite to send Brundibar running out of town! The setting is a village square in Czechoslovakia in 1943. The back story, the historical context, is grim but plays no part in the music or the story. In WWII Nazis established a “City For the Jews” in a small city in Czechoslovakia to make the Red Cross think that concentration camps were actually nice places. In this camp this opera was performed 55 times by an all-child cast accompanied by musicians playing what instruments they had been able to smuggle into the camp.

Princeton Elementary Student Council initiative Each year, the student council at Princeton Elementary School takes on an initiative to better the school community. Two years ago they were able to raise enough money to purchase a new volleyball net. So starting last year, they began their quest to purchase an outside scoreboard for the softball and soccer teams. Two local businesses got wind of their fundraising efforts and made significant contributions. Eryn (Crowe) Meeker, branch manager at the Princeton Ma- chias Savings Bank, brought $2,500 to the account. Princ- eton Food Mart owner, Rick Crowe, donated $500.
