Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in the Spectrum Generations annual Volunteer Appreciate event, March for Meals, an event that shows participants what Spectrum Generations volunteers do throughout the year by shadowing them as they carry out their duties.
Back to the 99
Alna has been through a rough couple of months, with folks sharply divided on the issue of private school choice. But votes are good, because they settle things. One side prevails and one does not; and then we move on.
MAPLE TIME
We encourage readers to go to Maine Maple Sunday on March 25.

River Arts rocks it: There is a fabulous new exhibit on the walls (and pedestals) of the River Arts gallery in Damariscotta. “Figures & Sculpture” features the work of more than 60 artists from all over Maine, including such names as Belfast’s David Estey and Rockland painter Ronald Frontin.
From the Legislature: Minimum Wage Going Too Far, Too Fast
We all know there’s perhaps no job more important to land than that first part-time job as a teenager, whether that job be on a farm, in a local convenience store, or at a restaurant. For me, I began working closely with my father at a very young age, helping him assemble furniture for the family business, going out on deliveries, and completing countless other tasks as needed until I became a teacher at 23.
Energy Matters An Arctic warmer than Europe
In just eight mid-February days, nearly a third of the sea ice covering the Bering Sea off Alaska’s west coast vanished. The loss of ice — a symptom of the changing climate as the planet warms — seriously affects the lives of people who live along the coast.
NOT RIGHT OR WRONG
We are not going to venture a guess as to how the vote on school choice in Alna will go, or give anyone advice on how to vote.

Viva, Rhodes and Garren: “Viva Cuba” is the name of the fantastic photography exhibit currently on the walls of The Carey Gallery at Skidompha Library in Damariscotta. Featuring photographs from recent trips to Cuba by Katherine Garren, of Damariscotta, and Gisela H. Rhodes, of Newcastle, this show is must-see stuff. Rhodes (and her dog), incidentally, volunteer once a week at Skidompha.
Several Points on Bristol Dam
Over the past year, I was a member of the Bristol dam committee. However, this letter reflects my own views and not the opinions of all members of the committee.
Truckin’ in America
OK folks, I got a story for ya, you’re gonna love this! So I’m southbound hammah down the other day, somewhere south of Medway, and the CB radio crackles: “Coops are open in Old Town.” Well, for you that aren’t truckah literate, that means the weigh station is open.
Please, No More Delays
On behalf of the trustees, administration, and staff of LincolnHealth, I’m writing today to express our full and enthusiastic support for the No More Delays campaign in Damariscotta. This citizen-initiated effort was created to strongly encourage state leaders to make the completion of the Bristol Road sidewalk project (between downtown Damariscotta and the LincolnHealth Miles Campus) a priority.
From the Legislature: Unexplained Spikes in CMP Bills
The Maine Public Utilities Commission recently voted to take a closer look at the irregularities that have popped up with Central Maine Power’s billing practices after complaints began rolling in from frustrated ratepayers who believe they were being overcharged on their bills.
Sending Congratulations for Fine Writing!
My husband and I live in way upstate New York near the Adirondack Mountains, but we have been traveling to the Pemaquid Peninsula since our honeymoon 50 years ago. We get up your way often every year, sometimes with our family, sometimes by ourselves. We love the peninsula so much.
Paws for Thought
While searching for new topics to write about (honestly, how many times do you want to hear about my own cat?!), I stumbled across the “50 Best Pet Websites for 2018,” at ravereviews.org/web/best-pet-websites.
