Wiscasset Middle High School assistant athletic director Robert “Radar” Applebee has worn many hats this winter. Before the winter sports season started, Applebee volunteered to help athletic director Warren Cossette in any way he could.
Whitefield Library The Evolution of a Reader; The Evolution of a Library
Sshhh! A sound I remember from my childhood at the Thayer Public Library in Braintree, Mass. Although it came to epitomize the library atmosphere for me as a child, I will thankfully admit that I was never the cause of its utterance! I was a good little girl!
Brunch, Please! Everything an Eggs Benedict Should Be
Back in February 2021 I sat down with King Eider’s Pub co-owners Todd Maurer and Jed Weiss to chit chat about the restaurant’s foray into brunch specials.
News Along the Way Time to Just Be
In our last article for The Lincoln County News, we shared some hiking tips and ideas, but it’s not always easy to get out – especially during a winter like we are having this year! So here we offer some thoughts about inside activities.
Waldoboro Voices: Karen-Ann Hagar-Smith
Karen-Ann Hagar-Smith has been Waldoboro’s community navigator since 2020. For three days a week, she lends a hand to people in Waldoboro – finding housing after a fire, food for a hungry family, funds to pay a utility bill, a place inside rehab to recover after hitting bottom. As Karen-Ann puts it, “It’s part of my own recovery – paying it forward.”
In Nature Wake Up! Fly North!
Brilliant sun on yesterday’s snow. The first songbird I’ve heard this year, a cardinal, sang its full, varied song this morning near Glidden Street in Newcastle. Two days ago, before the snow, I heard a few rather soft and tentative “Cheer? Cheer?” whistles. Maybe the same bird, hormones boosted by the light? Last year I noted the first song March 18. I think spring was late and cold last year.
Characters of the County: The Offerings of Fletcher Boote
“I get really inspired by the kindergarten paintings,” said artist, healer, and teacher Fletcher Boote from her at-home studio in Alna. “They’re so free. They’re so unencumbered by judgment.”
The Way Back What Breaks You
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing broken things with gold, pottery in particular. Instead of bemoaning the chips and cracks, kintsugi accepts these imperfections and mends them with precious metal, highlighting those places where – perhaps – a thing fell apart.
Bringing Food Home Out and About with Kristina Verney
Tuesday mornings are vegetable packing days at Healthy Lincoln County, where we sort fresh food, pack boxes, and distribute to our share table partners. Our wheelhouse is food procurement; we pick up donations from local farms and partners, but the real magic comes once the food leaves our hands.
Characters of the County: Shannon Gilmore on the New and the Old
During quiet moments in her day in Wiscasset, Lincoln County Historical Association Executive Director Shannon Gilmore goes on walks. She walks past the cemetery up to the Old Jail on Federal Street, one of LCHA’s three museums.
Skidompha Skoop
These last two years have been full of change, and to keep the trend going, the library will be changing its phone number. If we’ve learned anything from all this transition, it’s how to be flexible. We know this process will take time, so we’ll extend it into the summer to allow everyone (especially us!) to get used to our new numbers.
Henry: A Dog’s Life in Maine
Hello to all my friends. I gotta tell you, I am not sure what I think about all this ice and snow. My feet get cold and sometimes ice goes in between my pads. I don’t like that, but Mom wipes them down with a nice warm and wet cloth. That makes it feel a lot better.
Past and Present The Two Flags of Iwo Jima
The battle of Iwo Jima, fought on Feb. 19, 1945, during the closing days of World War II, is remembered by many of that generation and certainly by all the Marines who survived the assault on the remote Pacific island 650 miles from Japan. Now, younger Americans may not be aware of the determined struggle that pitted over 100,000 men, including 70,000 Marines, against 22,000 entrenched Japanese defenders who fought to the last man.
The Mobius Strip From Passenger to the Driver’s Seat
Driving a motor vehicle on public highways in Maine is a privilege and a serious responsibility. The ability to drive a car, truck or motorcycle widens horizons. It helps you do your job, visit friends and relatives, and enjoy your leisure time. It is the most important card in your wallet and a legally accepted form of identification.
