Thrifty Good Food Fall Treasures: Wild Mushrooms and Delicata Squash
Modern cooks have almost forgotten a time when seasons dictated the menu. Modern transportation and supermarkets have allowed us to procure asparagus in December and apples in May. We still appreciate the flavor of fresh and local produce in the summer, but gone are the days when I eagerly anticipated a winter break to NYC for a matinee followed by a treat of NY cheesecake and “fresh strawberries” at the famous Lindy’s restaurant.
Characters of the County: Reed Runs 31st Straight Boston Marathon
Dr. Stephen Reed, of Wiscasset, will turn 74 soon, but he did not let his age, an injured foot, or an artificial hip deter him from running his 31st straight Boston Marathon on Monday, Oct. 11.
In Nature Raccoons Visit the Cherry Tree
As I started cooking supper, I spotted three young raccoons in the wild black cherry tree by the marsh below my house. I sometimes hear ‘coon voices in the night as they hunt the marsh and brook for food.

Characters of the County: Newcastle’s No. 1 Volunteer Doesn’t Need A Reason
It’s Sept. 21, a bright Tuesday morning, and like every other Tuesday morning Newcastle’s Mariellen Whelan can be found at the Ecumenical Food Pantry at the Second Congregational Church, hustling between parked vehicles, chatting with their occupants, and shuttling diapers out to the families that need them.
Marilyn Beane’s World

Midcoast Boater’s Journal
The river is already quieter now. More boatless moorings. Seasonal boaters have squeezed out the last of summer’s gaiety. Through the pines lining our river bank, we see the occasional white sail slipping silently by, heading to a safe haven for a winter “on the hard.” A few leaves are starting to turn. And the hummingbirds will soon disappear, commencing their long migration southward after taking their last long sips of nectar. Some of us retirees will keep our boats on the water as long as we dare, until the chill fall air makes inevitable the decision to haul them out. It has been a good season on the water.
