Ever since I was a boy, I've been coming to Ocean Park, Maine, a Baptist retreat community founded in 1881. What's particularly cool about Ocean Park, I've always thought, is that the very next beach is Old Orchard, a decidedly secular enclave of fried dough, scary rides, and questionable games of chance. This podcast is an appreciation of both versions of Maine in the summer. Music for this episode is ""Summer of Life" by Peapod, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.Tech Note: this is the first Video Pod Chronicles I have created with Final Cut Express, and I was thrilled with the extra tools I had to play with, compared with my much-loved but limited iMovie HD 6. The video clips were shot with a Sanyo Xacti HD2.

The unique Portland neighborhood

Well, not really. Fact is, they originated in New England... Welcome to the July 2008 edition of "Jud's New England Journal," the rather curious monthly musings of Judson Hale, editor-in-chief of Yankee Magazine, published since 1935 in Dublin, New Hampshire. Do You Think Grits Are a Southern Invention? Well, not really. Fact is, they originated in New England… When most people think of New England food, they think of lobsters, clam chowder, Boston baked beans, scrod, Indian pudding, cranberries, and apple pie. (Yes, we claim apple pie, too.) But how many of us today have a craving for white field corn, with the hulls removed, that's been boiled in water for many hours with a little salt until it's become a sort of mush? Yuck. And yet the dish, once a hearty staple on New England tables, hasn't disappeared. You can still buy it in a few places, dried or in a can. It's known as hulled corn. Or samp. Or hominy. Or cornmeal mush. My friend the late Vrest Orton, founder of the now-famous Vermont Country Store in Weston, Vermont, once explained to me that samp is actually kernels of corn ground coarse for breakfast cereal; hulled corn and cornmeal mush are roughly as described above (no hulls); and hominy is another name for cornmeal cooked in water, as in "hominy grits," which Southerners claim as their very own. Of course, in truth hominy grits were invented by the Algonquin Indians -- who lived in New England. Now, when Rhode Islanders convert stone-ground cornmeal, salt, butter, and milk (or -- and this is controversial -- water) into patties and then fry them, the result is one of New England's truly iconic foods, the Rhode Island johnnycake, or jonnycake, or journey cake. (That's right, the spelling is controversial, too.) Purists maintain that only real jonnycakes (we'll opt for that spelling) are made with whitecap flint corn, a type pretty much unavailable today in any sort of quantity, although the University of Rhode Island's cooperative extension service maintains a seed supply and furnishes limited amounts to growers such as Old Sturbridge Village. "Any of us will tell you that the flavor and texture of a jonnycake made with flint corn is entirely different from other commercially grown corn," a past president of the Society for the Propagation of the Jonnycake Tradition in Rhode Island once informed me. And the Rhode Island legislature firmly agrees with the society's stand on the matter. Many years ago, it actually passed a law making it illegal to call jonnycakes made with anything other than flint corn "Rhode Island jonnycakes." As far as I know, the law still stands. My own idea of jonnycake wouldn't pass muster anywhere but in Maine. When I was a boy growing up on a farm there, we enjoyed a sort of cornmeal shortcake covered with sliced apples and cream, which we called "apple Jonathan." Anyone remember that?

Interstate 295 is undergoing major reconstruction between Gardiner and Topsham, Maine. Kennebec Journal reporter Keith Edwards and photographer Joe Phelan take a look at the project in Bowdoinham as it gets under way.

Kate Braestrup is a writer, mother and a chaplain to game wardens on search-and-rescue missions in Maine. She is called in when children disappear in the woods and when snowmobilers disappear under the ice. There, she says, the rubber meets the road theologically. And her sense of life, death, and God is formed by what happens between and among people.

Norcross Media, LLC presents old footage of Long Island, Maine and the lost lifestyle of living in a quaint island community in New England. There is also various shots of other parts of the Maine coast that could not be identified, possibly Bailey Island or Harpswell. It's not clear just where the footage comes from, however, permissions and queries should be sent to the Historical Society of Long Island, Maine. As for the video, originally it was cut on an Avid Express program with a music score, however, since this footage was chosen to go up under the Norcross Media label, we had to remove to music due to copyright laws.
