LA student art at River Arts: Wow! I attended the closing reception on Thursday, April 26 for the recent show at River Arts gallery in Damariscotta featuring the multifaceted art exhibition of Lincoln Academy art students, and I’ll just say it again – wow!

Damariscotta History Oh Where, Oh Where Has the Old Tradition of Making and Hanging May Baskets Gone?
When we both were children and in grammar school, the month of May was truly a month of fun and enjoyment for most every family. Even when our son, Robert, was going to grammar school, the month of May was full of art programs, like making a maypole for their dance program around the time of 1978.
Skidompha Skoop
Greetings, readers–
Pam is off globetrotting in Peru, so this week you get me, Torie DeLisle, director of development. While normally I spend my days thinking about programs and funding, this week I’m all fired up about Skidompha being the only Maine library with our very own resident theater company. That’s right! We’re making history right here in Damariscotta!
In Nature Moles or voles?
Moles or voles? It is confusing. But knowing who is who helps us live well with our small furry neighbors. This was their land long before we thought it was ours!

Painting in snowstorms: Samantha Merrill held up a small acrylic painting of an ocean scene. “This I painted during a snowstorm when I had nothing else to do. I wanted something with waves and it just kind of happened,” she told me recently.
Damariscotta History Wilbur George Knowlton, Dealer in Leather Goods and Harnesses on Main Street, Damariscotta
We start off this article by asking a simple question: What do trunks, bags, suitcases, saddles, bridles, collars, whips, and blankets have in common with Main Street, Damariscotta?
Talkin’ Trash: Picking Up One Piece of Trash at a Time in Bristol A column submitted by Pemaquid Watershed Association
Elmer Tarr, according to his wife, Gerry, “loved everybody, and everybody loved him.” In his 87 years of life from 1916 to 2003, Tarr loved his community and was very active in enriching the lives of others in Bristol and beyond. He served in the U.S. Army in World War II, built houses, served with and led the Masonic Lodge, became a Bristol Lion, and shared his skills with the Shriners, the Bristol Footlighters, and Habitat for Humanity, to name a few of his many interests in addition to raising a family with his wife.

Loving the LC arts scene: I am on a roll. Or, rather, Lincoln County’s arts scene is on one.
Waste Watch
Unfortunately, I must inform you that as of Tuesday, April 17, we are no longer accepting any #1 or #3-7 plastics. These plastics must now go in the trash. In order for the changes to have been successful, the plastics we sent had to be free of contamination by other plastics. This did not happen. From this point on, we will only be recycling rigid and #2 plastics. Thanks to all of you that tried to make the new process work.
Lyme Time Free Your Mind and the Rest Will Follow
Fear can consume us and directs our thoughts, words, and actions. Knowledge reduces our fear; the more we know about something, the less we fear because we have some control over how it may or may not directly affect us — like ticks, the diseases that they carry, and the many ways we are exposed to them.
Paws for Thought
If you’re anything like me, you despise ticks. Not just because they’re arachnids and have too many legs to be up to any good, but because they spread diseases that are unpleasant for humans and animals alike.

Downtown lowdown: Things are quickly heating up on the downtown Damariscotta art scene. In my last column, I wrote about amazing artist (and very nice person) Phoebe Dean, who recently began working at Buzz Maine. Now, I am just as excited to tell readers about self-taught Thomaston wood artist Rob Jones and his wife, Barbie Jones, who opened Wooden Alchemy last Wednesday, April 4 in the Main Street space formerly occupied by River Gallery.
Newcastle History Newcastle in the Cold War
Recently, there was an article in the Portland Press Herald on the Cold War of the 1950s. It was triggered by the fairly recent false alarm of a nuclear attack on Hawaii. This caught them by surprise, not knowing what to do. Sixty years ago we would have known what to do.
