Hi, my name is Hindley Wang. My first name is pronounced with a short “i” and a somewhat silent “d.” I am a 19-year-old student at Lincoln Academy in Newcastle. I am originally from Shanghai, China, and my original name is Wenjia Wang. I have lived in Newcastle for three years. I live in a dorm room with little natural light but a lot of string lights and a gigantic palm-leaf tapestry on the wall. I like to call myself an artsy individual, because I paint, decorate, play and listen to jazz, and write, but I am still trying to live up to the standard of a “real artist,” whatever that means.
Another View: Confidence Shaken
A few years ago, I was sitting in the departure lounge at BWI. I thought the rumbling I felt was caused by the construction equipment operating just outside the concourse.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
We regret to report the loss of another of our local columns.
Ask the Vet Canine osteoarthritis -- degenerative joint disease
If a dog tires easily, limps, is slow to rise, or is reluctant to climb stairs, run, or jump, canine osteoarthritis may be the cause. Osteoarthritis involves an inflammatory response, cartilage degeneration, and loss of collagen and nutrients in the joints.
The Present of Our Presence
Every time of year has its own challenges in terms of teens using alcohol and other drugs, but the holiday season can be particularly challenging.
No Longer Lower Round Pond Christmas at a one-room school
My school days at Muscongus’ one-room school began with walking a mile on Bremen’s heavily forested Shore Road hoping not to meet a moose on the way. In preparation for such an event, I had practiced scaling several climbable trees at strategic locations.
Ponder & Stir
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
I have to admit I don’t believe that people will forget what we said or what we did. I do hope they remember how we made them feel.
CHEER LOCAL
One of our favorite times of year is here – a magical time of year when children’s eyes sparkle with delight and parents relive the joys of childhood through their offspring.
SHOP LOCAL
At least once a year, we use this space to implore our readers to shop local. But we often fail to mention that “shop local” goes beyond choosing Sherman’s over Amazon or Renys over Wal-Mart. We have local options for almost any expense in our lives – a car, a contractor, even utility bills.
Waste Watch
As we move toward the Christmas holiday, please be aware of our signs regarding our hours of operation. You also can get that information on the Nobleboro town office website. You will also find this article on that site. We continue to get many questions regarding hazardous waste such as gas, antifreeze, turpentine, solvents, acids, […]
The Stars and Stripes
My wife Julie and I recently visited Fort McHenry in Baltimore where, in the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner,” our American national anthem, after seeing the Stars and Stripes prevailing through the smoke after the battle. It was a very moving experience for us to be there and to witness the historical site firsthand. It was also a reminder to me of the sacrifices that my family, like most American families, has made to protect and to defend our country.
Coastal Economist
My wife and I felt the need to have a break from the national election contention by taking short-term asylum in Montreal. I was interested as I went window-shopping today that one of my favorite shirts is now made in Canada.
Nature Notes Climate change and rising waters
Rising waters are usually followed by an eroding sand beach. This is the case at the eastern Maryland and Virginia coasts. More specifically, Wallops Island and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia, and the Assateague Island National Seashore, off the coast of Maryland, are the present cases with sand beaches.
View From Over the Hill Thanksgiving
This year I am having to watch my attitude as we approach the national holiday. We have had a string of things happen that have made me discouraged. First I discovered that three of my large, framed pastel paintings have vanished from the church.
