The Bangor Daily News from Bangor, Maine • 15

iiiii rr-iiyBiay. i 18 Bangor Daily News, Friday, April 9, 1971 Question Does The Up-Down-Tum Around Stream Bill: It Isnt Bridewater, asked permission to withdraw L.D. 117 because of lack of support for the bill from several quarters. Finemore produced for the committee more than 60 letters of opposition to the bill from his area. He said in a Private conversation later that the proposal had also drawn opposition from Mars Hill officials and had elicited a cool reception from NEWS State House Bureau AUGUSTA The sponsor of bill which mandates the upgrading of the Prestile Stream to B-l for its entire length withdrew the bill when it came up for hearing before the natural resources committee.

But an interesting exchange of views developed anyway. Rep. Louis Finemore, R- Coming Events the attorney generals department Under existing law, the Prestile must meet AC Standard by 1976. Despite the request by Fine-more to withdraw the bill, a ialogue between representatives of Vahlsing Inc. of Easton and James Baressi of Presque Isle, director of the Northern Maine Regional Planning Commission, developed.

Baressi outlined for the committee a pollution control project in the Aroostook River and Prestile Stream watersheds which his group has undertaken. Baressi said several firms located in the Aroostook watershed have contributed to the pollution control project, but the Vahlsing Firm has declined contribute to the program to clean up the badly polluted Prestile. Baressi's group has in mind the Vahlsing industrial wastes into an integrated treatment-transport system between Presque Isle and Caribou. The project, to cost almost a quarter of a million dollars, would funded by federal and New England Regional Commission Grants, in addition to contributions from local industry. However, John Cancellarich, a chemical engineer for Vahlsing, said his firm has made a thorough study of the proposed regional plan and has found that it is not feasible.

Cancellarich said the Vahlsing firm has a plan of its own, involving the spraying of wastes from its potato processing plant onto Aroostook Farmland in a type of irrigation-fertilization disposal method. But Baressi contended that a Boston Research and Engineering Firm has stated that it would take from 10,000 to 15,000 acres to properly handle the plant wastes in this manner, and then only when climatic conditions are right. Baressi said the Plan the Regional Planning Commission is working on can be operational by July of 1974. Cancellarich invited the Natural Resources Committee to visit the Vahlsing Plant and its sister plant, Maine Sugar Industries, at Easton. He said it is easy to get the wrong impression from reading press accounts of the pollution problems which the area allegedly has, and said his firm has accumulated about 100 pounds of news clippings over the years on the subject.

But, he remarked, w-hen some of our Canadian friends came to visit us they came away with a different impression of what is going on.

A lot of people In Aroostook County had thought they were going to see a travelogue when Love And Kisses was released, Dorsey said, but this was a misconception." He described his first film effort as mild 'X-rated, adding that some theatre chains had said it was not hot enough, even one in the state. Scout Troop Organized Raymond R.

(Albert Photo) pfffSiii v- 1 By DEAN RHODES (NEWS Presque Isle Bnreau) CARIBOU In color and wide screen yet, that famous filmmaking duo of Don Dorsey and Whit Shaw of Love And Kisses fame are going to switch from sex, sadism and snowmobiles to sex, sidism and voodoo. Producer-director Dorsey came back tanned from Jamaica Thursday, admitted that it was possible that someone had destroyed his $20,000, drive-in theatre screen here while he was away because they objected to his earthy, 'X-rated Love And Kisses, and said he was going ahead with plans to make a movie based upon a factual legend about a beautiful, sadistic woman who practiced voodoo 140 years ago. But The Mistress Of Rose Hall (a tentative title) was being planned for general and were looking at people like Suzanne Pleschette and Kathryn Ross for the title roll, explained Dorsey.

I have some people talking for me in California. Love And Kisses was released in February with a relatively unknown cast; featuring some frantic times in Aroostook County and a snowmobile chase. Dorsey and co-producer Shaw and their United International Productions now want a name star to help bring off the tory of the legendary Annie Palmer whole three husbands died in strange ways. A very beautiful woman and very sadistic, explained Dorsey. Low Budget He estimated that the new motion picture to be shot in Jamaica in six weeks beginning in July will cost under $1 million, compared with a cost of about $150,000 for Love And Kisses.

Dorsey declined to say how much he would like to see the new flick gross, and noted that the gross figure to date from Love And Kisses was classified information, although ad mitting that it was pretty good. Its doing quite well comparatively for that type of film, he allowed leaving the impression that he and Shaw, also a major stockholder in United International Productions, hoped to de better with a general audience film starring a celebrity. Dorsey emphasized that he and Shaw still considered theirf-selves to be strictly businessmen. We have several sources of financing. Of course were receiving financing from the first film.

United International Productions is financing this one also. The way it looks now, we plan to shoot right at the plantation where it happened. The story took place about 140 years ago, and the 8.000-acre sugar plantation (Rose Hall) has been under restoration for about six years by owner John Rollins at a cost of about $2.5 million." Annie came from Haiti and married Rose Hall owner John Palmer. Palmer was supposed to have been murdered by Annie, Dorsey recounted. She later had two other husbands who died in strange ways, suddenly.

Annie was murdered bv her slaves while in her early 30s during a revolution, and lies buried off the east wing of the main house. I visited her grave, said Dorsey after sending a week in Jamaica. She practiced voodoo and witchcraft, tre moviemaker pointed out. This is why the natives were terrified of her. She was supposed to have been able to conjure up spirits at will.
