Truckin’ in America
Folks, this past week has been pretty eventful to say the least: a conviction for a senseless killing in Minneapolis, where it appears justice has prevailed, and another historic flight to the international space station.
Characters of the County: The Poetry of Wind and Sea
There’s a small cottage on John’s Bay in New Harbor. Inside, collections of books and art and things from faraway places clutter the shelves and walls and surfaces. Tall glass doors frame a view of sparkling waves and smoothly gliding gulls. When the tide is high, the salt water laps the edge of a small slice of green where a large pine stands.
Backyard Wildlife Twin Villages Community Cleanup
There has been a fair amount written in this paper recently about the continued issue of littering.

Damariscotta Mills Tick Season … Beware!
Well folks, it’s that magical time of year and spring is busting out all over! The daffodils and crocuses are blooming. The hardy early birds are back. Red-wing black birds, goldfinches, and mourning doves are all making visits to the bird feeder. Spring is a wonderful time of year. With all this goodness, you just know that nature, in her way, balances the good with the unpleasant. One of the most colossally unpleasant of all things is the awakening of that loathsome creature: the tick.

Tales From Hunter’s Landing Abe Smith
I have always loved to hunt. It started way back when I was about 7 years old, when my dad allowed me to tag along with him and his longtime friend and hunting buddy, Joe. They both worked for the same printing company in the building that I described helping to clean out in a former tale after it was sold and moved.

It seems like everyone knows and likes Kyle LeBeau. During a March 25 interview in the parking lot of the Damariscotta Hannaford where he works, it seemed like every few minutes he was smiling and waving at another person.

The first dock is up and running. The floats and ramps are in. Things are looking pretty good at the town landing with all of the work completed on the launching ramps. Bring on the season!
