The icicles from my roof keep growing at such alarming rate these days that I’m willing to take seriously the recent prognostications of that sleepy marmot in Pennsylvania. Even the meteorologists have jumped on the bandwagon with their predictions of continued Arctic blast. For the home cook it is a clear signal to retrieve recipes for favorite warming soups.
ONCE AGAIN, LETTERS

Round Pond
I hate to start my column off with difficult news, however, this needs to get out there because it involves people near and dear to our hearts and to their neighbors and friends. The Helping Hands of Round Pond wrote so eloquently about this situation on the GoFundMe page that I am going to quote it word for word.

A MAINE MAN TAKES HIS LEAVE
On last week’s front page, Dick Spear’s retirement from the Nobleboro Select Board was announced.

It is an amazing facility and we are very fortunate to have such medical treatment available to us.
