Damariscotta History The True Meaning of Thanksgiving
Good morning, America. I start this article with a few words of wisdom. This will be my 88th Thanksgiving here in our great nation. I have had the honor and privilege to see our great nation step up and defend the freedom of our nation and world.
THE TRUE MEANING
Finding a new angle for an editorial about Thanksgiving proved to be a challenge this week.
Characters of the County: Allison Lakin and Neal Foley’s Life and Love in Cheese
In 2015, Allison Lakin was busy establishing herself as a Maine cheesemaker, without yet having a herd of dairy cows to call her own. Neal Foley, a trained farmer and chef, had recently returned home to New England and was in between farms. When the two met that year at a pig roast in Appleton, it was clear their goals aligned.
Henry, A Dog’s Life in Maine
Hello to all my friends. It’s almost Halloween as I write this article. I like to get a head start. As you can imagine, I have been very busy barking at the turkeys and crows that show up in our yard every morning and afternoon. Mom takes us for walks, and I go to day care once a week. I love seeing all my friends. I even got myself all painted up (literally, at day care.) We had a lot of fun.

Hello, friends!
Round Pond
The harbor now has more empty mooring balls than boats. It is emptying out fast. Most lobster boats that I see coming into the harbor are carrying traps that are being taken up for the winter. The picture above was taken on a very calm Monday morning walk.
HERE COME THE HOLIDAYS

Bringing Food Home The Time Of Year For Roasted Veggies
As we enter this dark time of year, I don’t think I am alone as I seek warm, comforting foods. Roasted root veggies are a staple in my kitchen (and probably yours) during these months. They store well, are affordable, and are easy to find at grocery stores and farmers markets alike. And they are versatile so you can mix and match them however you prefer.
THE END IS NEAR
These last few months seem to have dragged on longer than usual. While there are plenty of factors this feeling could be attributed to, we’re choosing to believe it’s because we’ve had to spend an increasing amount of time driving around Damariscotta looking for parking.
Characters of the County: Barclay Shepard’s Legacy of Loyalty and Service
On Monday, Nov. 11, the country celebrates Veterans Day, a day set aside each year to honor and pay tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the U.S. military, protecting the freedoms this country enjoys.
REMEMBER THEM
Around this time each year, we’re reminded of the sacrifices so many have made to give us the privilege of freedom, safety, and security, whether that is through being thankful on Veterans Day or by using that freedom to cast a ballot in a local or federal election.
