Hey folks, as one can see, the trees behind the old information building on the corner of Vine and Main streets are down, and I’ve met a few folks who are a little dismayed that they are gone. But let me point out, first, a couple of the trees were reported to be dying, and it would have happened sooner or later.

Truck’n in America The Greatest Generation
The month of November is the month that I lost both of my parents. Granted it was 18 years apart, but it always is kind of a different month for me. Last week, I tried to tell you about my dad, my hero. And I hope, I was somewhat successful. Now, I want to tell you about my mom, my hero, as well, another member of America’s Greatest Generation.
Newcastle History George & Josephine Hart Sponsor the Kools
Recently, I came across an article written by Janet Ann Clement for The Lincoln County News on Oct. 2, 1993. It was the story of how a family was able to come from The Netherlands to enjoy life here.

Round Pond
I had a lot of positive responses to last week’s article about Lossie Morton so with Veterans Day being this Thursday, Nov. 11, I would like to write about another war hero from Round Pond, Harry “Mitt” Masters. I have an article (again from Bethiah Callahan) that was written on Aug. 15, 1944 from Mitt’s hospital bed at a base hospital in England, where he gave an interview to John M. O’Connell Jr., the managing editor at the Bangor Daily News.

Shelley Pease’s father called her “Flower” when she was a girl, but that was the only real connection she had to the blooms that became her livelihood and her claim to fame.
Whitefield
Two years ago I spent Halloween and Day of the Dead in El Paso, Texas. To witness the love, respect, and remembrance shown to those who have left this earth was incredibly moving and spiritual. It was truly a gift. I thought about this when I recently visited two old Whitefield cemeteries with Charlene Donahue, Barry Tibbetts, and Libby Harmon who are members of the Whitefield Cemetery Committee.
Backyard Wildlife What to Do with Fallen Leaves
In my yard, the maple leaves have already fallen. But the brown oak leaves will stubbornly hang on for a few more weeks. By late November, nearly all of our deciduous trees will be bare and skeletal.
