Repurposing with style: I recently checked out Union printmaker Kathy Felch’s “Upcycled and Repurposed” show in the Hall Gallery at LincolnHealth’s Miles Campus, 35 Miles St., Damariscotta.
HELP WANTED
We need help!
Our newsroom has been undermanned since early October. After a couple of false starts, we still have two vacancies for full-time news reporters.
Paws for Thought
Sometimes I don’t have a story. Usually everything goes well when I’m pet sitting. Nobody gets sick, runs out the door, or brings in a fuzzy creature for me to chase. Considering how often I spend time with other peoples’ pets, this is probably a good thing. It doesn’t make for a very good story, however. Instead, I thought it might be helpful to understand the human taking care of your beloved pets.

Living in small communities here in Midcoast Maine, we all understand the value of good neighbors — maybe especially in the wintertime, when power and water are not always guaranteed, thanks to Mother Nature!
From the Legislature: Tax Conformity Must Benefit Middle Class
2018 is getting off to a good start, following the passage of federal tax reform that I believe will help small businesses and low- and middle-class earners here in Maine. I have always believed that individuals are better stewards of their own money than bureaucrats in Washington and that economic growth occurs when people and small businesses are empowered to make financial choices with their own money.
Long Cove
Happy new year to us all! Here’s hoping for health, happiness, and prosperity in the year before us. It does sound nice.
OIL BILLS
At one point during the recent cold snap, the editor’s house received oil deliveries nine days apart.

Joy Vaughan and the art of journaling: South Bristol artist Joy Vaughan currently has an intriguing show up in The Carey Gallery at Skidompha Library in Damariscotta consisting of 53 pages from her daily art journal. A number of them, as one might guess, have writing on them.
Thrifty Good Food
Recent Nor’easters, ice, whiteouts, and Arctic temperatures have most of us hunkering down at home. The kitchen becomes a place of warmth and comfort, and for the cook presents both challenge and opportunity to try new things. Some of us will even reluctantly admit that it is a way to relieve that encroaching “cabin fever” feeling.
PEOPLE VS. PROFIT
At press time, the future of Yellowfront Grocery remains uncertain.
Ponder and Stir
My sister Winnie (Linda) came for her first visit here in Topeka, for she now lives only two hours away. We are both talkers. When we got to the subject of my similarities with Julia Child, Win said, “You should write about our sister similarities.”

Nature is art outside my window: My office window here at The Lincoln County News in Newcastle looks out onto the trailhead of the Great Salt Bay Preserve Heritage Trail. Every now and then, after an extended period of looking at a computer screen, I like to walk across Mills Road and down the trail a little way, through trees that are currently standing in fairly deep snow.
No Longer Lower Round Pond Memory of a Perfect Winter Day
Happy new year to all the great staff members and readers of The Lincoln County News!
The following was written from my journal notes on Jan. 1, 1986, when we lived on our Bristol farm:
