Loughridge out and about: I received a press release recently announcing that on Friday, Aug. 11, from 4-7 p.m., The Brunswick Inn, at 165 Park Row in Brunswick, will host a reception for South Bristol artist Sally Loughridge, “whose original paintings have graced the inn’s Carriage House for the last few years.”
Just a Thought
Fixing problems
If firing a staff member to fix a problem does not solve the problem, this must at least raise the possibility that the fired person was not the problem. Then what was? More specifically, who was?
Long Cove
Surprise! Long Cove News is back!
Thank you to Marilyn Hughes for the phone call on Saturday, July 22, which pushed me into action. Plus my sister-in-law, Tori, jotted down their Maine summer vacation highlights to go along with some of what’s been happening since my last writing of April 25, although if you caught it, I did in May, but it was actually Lori Crook’s column under my name/column.

Dahmen gets well-deserved props: I had the pleasure of spending time recently with Newcastle artist Jane Dahmen at the cafe at Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta (a pleasure on two counts). Dahmen, as some people know, was recently named in Maine Magazine’s fifth annual 50 Mainers issue as one of 50 residents of the Pine Tree State that are “leading by example.”
Round Pond Column
This Wednesday night, July 26, Alden Robinson and Neil Pearlman will be performing at the Brown Church as the summer concerts continue. The following Wednesday will feature Heather Hardy, Dave Martin, and April Reed-Cox performing alternative folk. Concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.

Good to have friends: Fans of The Harbor Theatre, the cool little one-screen movie theater in Boothbay Harbor, will doubtless be pleased to know that, contrary to what had previously been announced, the theater will not be closing down later this year. As the theater’s website notes, the Friends of The Harbor Theatre, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, will be stepping in to purchase and operate the theater effective Oct. 1, after the current lease runs out.
Jefferson Column Two Jefferson cats
Many of you, my dear readers, have commented on the stories of my two cats over the past few years. When I’m out and about town, I’ll often run into someone who invariably asks about the cats. I’m happy to oblige them with a story or two; it’s nice to know people are reading the column! Today I will give you an update – as I’ve not mentioned them here in these lines of late.
Truckin’ in America
Hey folks, I’m back! In the truckin’ business we’re always on a trip to somewhere, I guess, that’s how we make money, but there is a line from a great song by the Grateful Dead, “What a long, strange trip it’s been,” and folks.
Waste Watch
Mid-July in Maine. It probably doesn’t get much better than this. Beaches, lakes, ponds, cookouts, seafood, and the list goes on. I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy some of these special activities of Maine.
My Animal Kingdom for a Name
I have been given the rather daunting task of coming up with a name for this column, and I have stressed over it a considerable amount. After all, whatever I call this creation will be stuck with it for the length of time I continue to write it. I understand why it is that it takes people a long time to come up with a name for their pet. I have had some difficulty in this area as well. I find in that case that a nickname is quickly adopted. But that doesn’t work for something as eternal as print.
Lyme Time Tick bites and rashes
“But I never saw a tick” and “I never got a bullseye rash” are two very common comments I get when I talk to people who tested positive for a tickborne disease. So why is that?

Mason on display: I had the pleasure of spending time recently with highly accomplished Nobleboro artist George Mason, who happens to be one of the founders of the fantastic Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts in Newcastle. Mason, who has a background in ceramic architectural tile, was readying dozens of his “relief tapestries,” as he calls his lovely, partially encaustic work, for his open house and studio sale coming up on July 15 and 22 in the huge, light-filled room of the beautifully renovated former church that he calls home.
Community Read Local connections to ‘The Boys in the Boat’
When “The Boys in the Boat” was chosen for the 2017 Community Read, a strong local connection to the 1936 Berlin Olympics was unknown. That soon changed when Walpole resident Kathleen Flory began telling folks about her father, Dan Barrow, and his quest for rowing gold in those very games.
Lyme Time Visitors’ guide to a tick-free summer
The 4th of July holiday brings back many of our seasonal residents and many more visitors to our wonderful state and Midcoast Lyme Disease Support & Education wants to make sure that people enjoy their stay and partake of all the outdoor activities that Maine offers.
