As a 1980 graduate of Lincoln Academy, I have fond memories of the high school that prepared me for the very nice life that I enjoy today. My teachers were wonderful human beings and my education was solid. I believe this is still the case in the classroom at Lincoln Academy, and I would like to thank the LA teachers for their ongoing commitment and success in providing outstanding educational opportunities for their students. My goal is to have my experiences available to my sons, and other students who choose to attend Lincoln Academy.
Hodgdon Green Happenings
The month is April — so it must be spring! The snowbanks around Hodgdon Green, the assisted living home in Damariscotta, as well as parking lot piles of snow throughout town, are reducing in size, and here and there, crocus, snowdrops, and other early birds are blooming. How welcome!
Long Cove
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! An early morning bank robbery occurred in the quiet town of Bristol (aka New Harbor). What a way to stir up a bit of excitement after a long winter’s nap!
WISCASSET LETTERS
We will continue to accept letters to the editor next week about the April 17 referendum, with the following guidelines.
THE BIG QUESTIONS
Thursday was perhaps the most anticipated day of the year in New England – opening day for the Red Sox.
Lincoln County Artsbeat
Getting to know Phoebe Dean: Delightful barely begins to describe my recent experience of spending time talking with 21-year-old self-taught artist Phoebe Dean. In addition to being very accomplished in the art of drawing, Dean is also a barista at downtown Damariscotta coffee bar and co-working space Buzz Maine. She is the one responsible for making the cool-looking new signage tacked onto the front counter at Buzz.
Truckin’ in America
Hope all had a great Easter. At least the weather was pretty fair!
I got to ponderin’ on the good old days – for me that was the ’50s and ’60s – and what Easter was all about.
Ponder and Stir
I am a secondhand child of the Great Depression. I experienced this period of American history only through the habits, hand-me-downs, and twice-told stories of my parents. Yet there is an inborn abhorrence to waste of any kind that has surfaced in me throughout my lifetime.
EASTER CELEBRATIONS
Whether you celebrate Easter as a religious holiday or a day to dye eggs and eat chocolate rabbits and marshmallow chickens, our community offers numerous ways to observe the occasion.
Skidompha Skoop
Spring programs are popping up like daffodils here at Skidompha Library.
Commentary: Encourage a More Open Approach
On March 6, the Whitefield Select Board held a meeting which set aside an hour for an RSU 12 discussion, the first half-hour to discuss the RSU budget and the second half-hour to discuss the status of the Whitefield school, including the work of the School Improvement Project.
Setting a Precedent
The vote on April 17 in Wiscasset is about setting a precedent for Maine. If the no vote goes through, the Maine Department of Transportation and the state will be able come in and disregard local laws in any town in the state and put through whatever they want. It is not just about Wiscasset. There is a bigger picture here.
Stop the Lawsuit – Start the Revitalization!
My wife and I fell in love with Wiscasset and the people who call it home – enough to purchase a property on Main Street. Even though we live far away in the mountains of Colorado, we have become fervent supporters and promoters of the community and only want the best for the town into the future.
Lincoln County Artsbeat
Luoma landscapes: I braved the latest round of snow to head over to the Hall Gallery at LincolnHealth’s Miles Campus in Damariscotta to see Alna artist Jon Luoma’s new exhibit “Landscape Watercolors of Maine, Newfoundland, the Galapagos, and Beyond.”
