In particular, a cat’s purr helps lower stress and blood pressure. Since taking care of a cat is an important responsibility, read on to help a cat live a long and happy life.
Ill-Served By the Radical Left and the Radical Right
Unaccustomed as I am to reading the headline of a column as an actual part of the column itself, especially since the entire Twain quote was not there, and not in quotation marks, it took me a moment to figure out how Mark Twain related to the agitated screed that Ken Frederic treated us to in his “Another View” column, LCN of May 11. So, I guess the point of his emotionally charged article is denial. But denial by whom, and of what?
Just a Thought

Damariscotta artist Marnie Sinclair, whose art gallery and studio is one of the four Bristol Road Galleries, is known for her bronze sculptures, her pastel drawings, and, increasingly, her environmentally focused artwork. Since April 21, Sinclair’s work has been on display at the home of her friend Deb Poor, who turned the lower floor of her beautiful two-story house in Newcastle into an art gallery for Sinclair’s show, which is titled “Balance & Imbalance.”

Damariscotta during the 1950s – who can still remember the women and men who operated all these stores, shops, and businesses here? Also where they were located and who owned them and some of the people who worked in the stores?
Truckin’ in America
I’m back from five days of beautiful weather and watching my “little girl” walk across the stage to accept her degree. Juris Doctorate of Law has a nice ring to it. She is the first person in my family to ever go this far in education, and I’m sure great things await her.

New blood at River Arts: “I’m new to River Arts,” said Pemaquid painter Alice de Mauriac when I caught up with her recently in the West Gallery of Damariscotta’s River Arts.
A LONG-DISTANCE CALL
There is a “Peanuts” comic strip where Lucy and Linus are at home. Lucy is reading a newspaper and says to Linus, “It says here that nothing pleases a mother more on Mother’s Day than to receive a long-distance call from one of her children.”
For Our Independence from Tyranny
This coming July, we will be celebrating the 241st anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. Before that date, it might be necessary to read that document once again.

Keep in mind their list began with: “let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

Shirley was born and lived on a small farm in the area called Moose Meadows near Feyler’s Corner, Waldoboro. She attended a one-room school; there were 31 of them at one time in town.

Hodgdon Green Happenings
In keeping with the rejuvenating season of spring, several of the residents and staff traveled up Route 1 to Moose Crossing recently. Staffers Angela Eastman and Connie Libby and residents Flora Hewitt and Lila Blechman selected a variety of plants for the home. However, on the way back, a stop was made at only-in-Maine Moody’s in Waldoboro for socializing and supper. A great excursion! The flowers were later put into pots on the porch for all to enjoy. Resident Shirley Haley helped with the finishing touches.
