Tackling a touchy subject: The words on Tom Mathews’ business card read as follows: “Communicate your perspective in a calm manner, using clean vocabulary, without attacking groups or individuals with hatred.” These are good guidelines for participants in a documentary project dealing with one of the thorniest issues in the United States – guns and gun violence.
Westport Island Column
Hello, friends and neighbors,
What a wild week it has been for Westport Island and so many folks in New England! By now I hope your power has been restored and your life is returning to some normalcy.
Lyme Time It matters whom you see
There is a term that the Lyme community uses that has upset some of the medical world: “Lyme-literate doctor.” This term has been developed and used to specifically to highlight those who are highly educated and experienced in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease and other tickborne diseases. They are heavily networked with other Lyme-literate providers and consult on difficult cases.
Somewhere in Somerville
Sometimes you just hate being right. “We’re going to be out for a week,” I announced Monday morning when the day started without power. Throughout the course of the day I spoke with several folks who thought the outages would be much shorter, with the good weather in our favor. Sounded totally reasonable, but it was not to be.
Coastal Economist
In 1979, I was working in New York City as an economist at Merrill Lynch. One day, the chairman of the firm, Donald Regan, descended from his 55th-floor executive suite to the 32nd-floor offices of Merrill Lynch Economics, where we, the macro-model scientists, toiled away. Regan had a special assignment for us.

Talking art at the grill: On Wednesday, Oct. 25, I caught the opening reception for the new art show up at Damariscotta River Grill, featuring the work of painters Susan Parrish Carter and Anne Cronin. Cronin is an accomplished watercolorist in her 80s, and Carter, who lives in Rockland, has a unique style that includes painting intricate landscapes on layers of glass.
Vote No on Question 1
This referendum asks the people of Maine to grant a license for a casino in York County. This referendum is bad for the state of Maine.
A tribute to Mary Ellen Crowley
My friend and colleague Mary Ellen Crowley received a diagnosis of cervical cancer this past year. She has gone through three rounds of treatment with radiation and chemotherapy. Cervical cancer is a tough diagnosis to begin with, but we all held out hope that she would beat the odds. But then it spread to her lymph nodes, and now it has made its way into her lungs.
Energy Matters Cautionary tale
Hurricanes form naturally over warm water: the warmer the water, the stronger the hurricane.
Newcastle History Early recollections of Thomas Gay
Recently, the Newcastle Historical Society museum was given a notebook of articles and stories written by Thomas Gay (1902-1984). Gay lived his entire life in Newcastle and ran a grocery store near the bridge. In 1926, he married Iome Irvine (1902–1990) An article, dated 1979, tells about the area, its shops, stores, and people, as Gay remembered them. I have not changed the wording nor the punctuation in any way.
