WELCOME, CHRISTINE
Not only are we breaking the latest news and community happenings this week, but we would like to welcome the newest member of our editorial team.
Characters of the County: Sara Rogers Doesn’t Idle Well
As someone who likes to work and who works a lot, Sara Rogers has developed a solution to the problem of time management. You don’t do one job and then do the other. You do them both at the same time.
Tech Talk Avoiding Online Scams and Fraud
Online scams aren’t new but they are getting smarter, more convincing, and harder to spot. From fake emails to fraudulent phone calls, today’s scams are designed to look and sound real. In a community like Midcoast Maine, where many of us know and trust each other, scammers often rely on that trust to trick people. The good news? A little awareness goes a long way.
Round Pond
From taking walks around the village this spring, it looks as though it could be a banner year for lupines. I am seeing them coming up everywhere. Last year was a horrible year and the lupine field had hardly any. Let’s hope that they put on a show this year like the daffodils and forsythia have.
SUPER MOM
At the drop of a hat, my mom can be anything: mom, friend, teacher, coach. Anything, she’s got it.
Characters of the County: Judy Dumont Loves What She Does
More than once, while talking about her business, Judy Dumont finishes her point with some variation of “I just love what I do.”
READY, SET …
This past Saturday there was line out the door at King Eider’s Pub in Damariscotta. Likewise, just across Main Street, there wasn’t a seat to be had at Bred in the Bone.
Characters of the County: Mike Nyboe is Still a Child at Heart
Every June for the last 27 years, the South Bristol community convenes at a local boat launch to witness the launch of skiffs built by members of the South Bristol School’s eighth grade class with support from volunteers at Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.
Thrifty Good Food
Seasonal food is slowly fading as a concept with international food flooding our supermarkets regardless of season. Years ago, I would take a trip to New York for a night at the theatre with an afternoon feast at Lindy’s to get not only their famous cheesecake but also a special treat a dish of fresh strawberries in February. Now every supermarket is willing to sell me strawberries at any time of the year.
BUILDING A STRONGER DIGITAL HOME
We know that over the past months our website hasn’t been the fast and reliable experience you expect from us. Many of you have encountered slow load times, error messages, or inaccessibility.
Characters of the County: Angela White Has No Time for Boredom
Good luck getting Angela White to sit still for long. The Newcastle businesswoman, mother, housewife, and community volunteer seemingly lives in perpetual motion.
Round Pond
Soon, as you drive by the Chamberlain Cemetery you will see work being done on the stone wall in front of the cemetery.
THANK A VOLUNTEER TODAY
Volunteers make this community more vibrant. People from more populous areas may be impressed to see the comparatively large number of folks involved locally. Volunteers and the organizations that they help strengthen the feeling of making this area feel like home and fosters a sense of community.
