The nation’s economy depends on it, but shipping by truck comes with a heavy price, in terms of both environmental damage and damage to the highway infrastructure.
Jefferson Column
We’ve been planting during this amazing weather, my dear husband and I, and each day we are hoping for rain. We put in corn, beans, tomatoes, and parsley. I haven’t put the cucumbers in yet. Perhaps this coming weekend I’ll be able to put the rest of the garden in.
RANKED CHOICE
Tuesday’s election will make history, as Maine voters use ranked-choice voting to select the Democratic and Republican nominees for governor.
Lesson Learned the Hard Way
One of the hardest lessons to learn in life’s journey is that age-old statement that you really don’t know what you have or how it so strongly impacts your life until it is taken away from you. This has a much more powerful impact when it has a truly spiritual connection. And this is further compounded when you abuse that spirituality and it results in a loss where you can never right the wrong you did. Actually, as in my case, part of you dies, as well, with that loss.
Hodgdon Green Happenings
May was a month of birthdays at Hodgdon Green, the assisted-living home in Damariscotta. Celebrating were residents Patty Hagar, Doug Halm, and Eleanor Mitchell. Blessings on them for a year ahead filled with contentment and joy in being.
Lincoln County Artsbeat
‘Re-visioning’ local theater: I recently got to hang out in the cafe at Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta with Torie DeLisle and Mallory Adams (and Adams’ very cute and cooperative baby, Willow). Many people know DeLisle as the development director at Skidompha Library and Adams as president of the River Company Board of Directors.
Truckin’ in America
Got a bee in my backside this week, folks, as I had not only one near miss, but two, and in the same location. Well, if you guessed in the crosswalk at Red’s Eats, you would be dead on. Now I know, the law says pedestrians have the right-of-way, and that is true, but nowhere does it say that one should at any time not exercise extreme caution crossing any road.
Financial Accountability at Lincoln Academy
In a May 24 LCN article (“Lincoln Academy expects dip in boarding enrollment,” page 1), Lincoln Academy claimed that the school’s boarding program is highly profitable, and that any financial difficulties have been caused by unpredictable changes in the boarding market. Neither is true.
A Few Dam Thoughts
Before you ask, yes, I’m from away. I’ve been on Biscay Pond for over 30 years. The first 15 were in Bristol, near the outlet, then we moved to Damariscotta, on the west side, about 1/2-mile from the town beach. We spent every summer here and most weekends from mid-May to mid-October. Now that I’m retired, I spend a lot more time here. The winters are as beautiful as the summers, in their own way, and autumn, glorious autumn! Mud season, not so much …
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
I would like to take this opportunity to thank many people in our community. On April 27, while shopping in Hannaford, Damariscotta, with my granddaughter, I suffered a major cardiac arrest.
Waldoboro’s Marijuana Ordinance – Too Soon
I am writing to urge Waldoboro voters to say no to the Ordinance Prohibiting Retail Marijuana Social Clubs and Retail Marijuana Establishments in the Town of Waldoboro.
Waste Watch
June? Can you believe it? Schools will be closing soon for summer vacation. Summer camps are open. Vacationland is starting to live up to its billing. At the station we will be seeing more traffic, trash, and tourists. Welcome to Maine.
Lincoln County Artsbeat
Fantastic Ms. Fox: Bristol painter Judy Nixon recently gave me a heads-up about the art show currently up in the Hall Gallery at LincolnHealth’s Miles Campus in Damariscotta featuring the work of Durham artist Annette Fox.
Long Cove
Well, Mom, here it is, a final writing just for you, my greatest fan of my LCN column. I hope I can live up to your expectations for you were a woman who worked very hard for everything she had in this life; you certainly knew how to enjoy and have fun along the way.
