We are starting to gear up for spring and summer here at Healthy Lincoln County. We are updating our volunteer training forms, reaching out to farms, networking our summer meals program for children 18 and under, and thinking about all the ways we can support food security in our community.
Round Pond
The Round Pond dock is pretty much completed and will be open this spring not only for skiffs but for jumping. The picture was taken by Red Boutilier back in 1970. From left: Debbie Poland (sitting), and jumpers Patty Ball, Susan Poland, Terry Leeman, the high-flying daredevil of the group, and Jill Russell. Marshall Hanna is observing from the ramp.
Characters of the County: Pat Johnston Puts the Pieces Together
Nobleboro resident Pat Johnston gets up in the morning with her day planned out and always has – when she was a mother and home caterer, during her time as an insurance biller for a local eye doctor, and in her current occupation making quilts for local veterans.
Damariscotta History A Brief History Of Ward Hitchcock and His Family
Once again this past week I went through another old box containing a large amount of notes and handwritten notes written down by Kathleen Cooper. Many of these letters or notes were just held together by a paperclip or in an old envelope with a note written on the outside with questions she wanted to ask her neighbors about the history of the area when Winfield and Kathleen Cooper bought their new home, then called Knowlton Farms, in 1943.
Characters of the County: Culture, Top To Bottom, With Smokey McKeen
When locals think of famed Pemaquid Oyster Company co-founder and head of operations Jeff “Smokey” McKeen they might focus on the aquaculture industry he’s helped foster on the Damariscotta River. While the business is a big part of McKeen’s day-to-day, the South Bristol resident is also a carpenter who built his own home, a folklorist, and a world-traveling musician.
Skidompha Skoop
A quick check in to see how you are all doing. We’re deep into winter – although the sun is pushing back – we all have our normal day-to-day stresses and anxieties. Following the news seems to come with a gut punch each day. It is easy to get into a rhythm of necessity, a myopic view of “what do we need to get done today.” Play and frivolity are so important, but they easily become second, third, or even fourth thoughts, or not considered at all.
Past and Present The First Medals of Honor
It happened during the American Revolution. Independence had been declared, but far from achieved with no end in sight. At 12:20 a.m. on July 16, 1779, a small but important battle occurred on the Hudson River.
Round Pond
Work is progressing on the dock at the Round Pond landing that was destroyed in the storm back on Jan. 10. Round Pond Marine is setting new pilings that have been capped in readiness for running the stringers and getting the decking laid.
Characters of the County: Finding Magic with Melissa Glendinning
The process of making art is almost as important as the product. For local artist, pumpkin decorator, and puppet-maker Melissa Glendenning, of South Bristol, the art of storytelling and creating is a way to connect children and adults with the magic that lives all around us.
Tails & Tales
“Mrs. Dunn! We need more red paper and paint!” said Pickles.
In Nature Who’s Afraid Of The Big, Bad Carbon Cycle?
Think about just one little piece of the carbon cycle. Carbon is in dry leaves, branches, old dead garden stuff, and paper. When those things burn, the carbon flies away into the sky.
Characters of the County: Jarrod and Cheryl Pinkham’s Decades of Laughter
In romance movies, love can look like running through an airport, kissing in the rain, or candlelit dinners in a quiet restaurant. While those events can still happen in real life, love’s maintenance and kindling happens in smaller moments: affirming texts, holding hands in the kitchen, or remembering the little things.
Westport Island
It’s funny. The looking-forward-to-it part. Much more than the after-it’s-all-over part. Like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Two months filling our lives with the looking forward and getting ready part. Then, like flipping a switch, it’s over. And now looking forward to the Oscars, Super Bowl, March Madness, Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July. The Grammys. Duet by Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs. Joni Mitchell.
Bringing Food Home Pumpkin Vine Family Farm
There are some places on this planet that truly make you stop in your tracks. Pumpkin Vine Family Farm in Somerville is one of those special places.
