Lyme Time Tick bites and rashes

at

“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?

BOAT SAFELY

The tragic incident on Damariscotta Lake on Sunday should remind us all to use caution on the water. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim.

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.

Something for Everyone

at

I am writing to express my gratitude to Peter and his family members and the staff of the Salt Bay Cafe. They will be missed in this community.

Community Read Local connections to ‘The Boys in the Boat’

at

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.

Process art at Shapers: Lil Garcia over at Shapers Fitness Gym in Damariscotta gave me a call the other day to tell me about the new art on the walls of the inviting little gym on School Street. Eight of Lise Aubry’s abstract pieces line the walls of the gym, giving gym-goers something colorful and intriguing to look at as they break a sweat on the treadmill or the elliptical trainer.

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE

at

With the last town meeting of the year behind us, you might think we would stop nagging you about going out and participating in civic affairs, making your voice heard, blah, blah, blah.

Ponder & Stir

at

When the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye, I am ready for the 4th of July. Each summer brings with it a surge of patriotism. To live in a land where one can travel in freedom any day of the week still amazes me, especially after living in countries where this was not always so. Overseas, I could never hear or sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” of my heritage without shedding tears. Even to this day, when I place my hand on my heart and start to sing, the tears appear.

It’s all about the windows: On the afternoon of Tuesday, June 20, Lincoln Theater celebrated the recent installation of its beautifully restored 14-foot windows with a well-attended reception at the theater.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

at

Happy Fourth of July!

Before you drive the neighborhood dogs berserk with your annual fireworks show, it’s time to think about why we celebrate this holiday.

Just a Thought

at

Just a few days ago, in reading The Wall Street Journal, I saw an ad for the latest CGTG 4 Lusso Ferrari car. Really nice car. Price $330,000. But don’t worry. It’s for the whole family. And it comes equipped with baby seats if desired. So there.
