REMEMBERING A MENTOR - During
the competition's intermission, BHS
winter percussion director JohnJamison
dedicated the competition to Steve
Moulaison,who died Feb. 18atthe age of
60. Moulaison started winter percussion
at BHS 18 years ago before moving onto
Dennis-Yarmouth High School,where he
started that school's program. Jamison
asked the audience to take some time to
thinkaboutthe dedication of thestudents,
to think about music and to think about
Moulaison.
Saturday's New England Scholastic Band Association competition at

ing Percussion Class A. The BHS Winter Guard Unit, competing in the Class
AA category against five other schools, came away with top honors.

NOT TOO CRABBY - A curious Jonah crab peers
from his tank in the aquarium at CCMNH.
Pond Habitat a bullfrog perches solemnly on
a rock while Eastern Painted and Musk turtles
swim nearby.
A Diamond Back terrapin with beautiful mark-
ings can be found in the Brackish Habitat. Her
shell bears the concentric circles children will
need to look for on the scavenger hunt available
at the front desk.
In a corner tank there appears to be nothing
more than a dusting of sand.Along stare reveals
the presence of baby horseshoe crabs scuttling
along. Shells from crabs of various ages are next
to the tank, giving viewers a startling visual of
ju st how big these creatures get.
Other marinelifeincludes seahorses with their
curling tails, luminescent moon jellyfish, and
striped sea robins that one young man said re-
semble Jar Jar Binks of the Star Wars movies.
The tidepools will win everyone over. On one
side are waving sea anemones,moon snails, sand
dollars and a huge scallop that snaps its shell
and spits water when held by museum volunteer
Lindsay Walls. On the other side, almost invis-
ible in the sand, are flounder. Volunteer Evan
Drake welcomes the opportunity to tell visitors
about how their eyes migrate to the same side
of the head giving this fish a most unusual ap-
pearance.
On the way out atrip to the gift shop isin order
so that everyone can pick up a reminder of the
day.There are books galore, unique handcrafted
jewelry, and a menagerie of plush marine toys
to satisfy all.

MAKING FUN - Edward Etsen and Karen McPherson lend their
talents to The Chatham Drama Guild's production of Later Life,
a play about a love story that doesn't necessarily end happily
ever after.

guests finishes the scene.
For all the actors' enthusiasm, however, Later Life can-
not bring itself out of the rut dug by its melodramatic
plot. Austin and Ruth discuss their problems and make
it evident that they have too much to deal with to ever
be truly free for each other.
The problems the pair deals with are many, and each
weighs on the audience. After a while, all this becomes a
little much. The play'shints at symbolismslowly become
fluorescent signs pointing toward it. A setting sun and
a sappy love song break the realistic air.
Yetdespite the heavy subject matter and melodramatic
atmosphere, Later Life is an extremely well acted, well
thought out, and well directed play. Anyone looking for
an evening extolling the virtues of love and fate won't
enjoy it. But anyone looking to see a quality production
of a fresh , unique play will.
"Everyone has a story," says Etsen's ebullient south-
erner Ted. And Later Life tells a good one about attrac-
tion, betrayal, and, ultimately, survival.
Later Life \s at the Chatham Drama Guild on Crowell Road Thursdays ,
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through March 26.
For tickets ($16 adults, $10 students), call 508-945-0510.
