BE A BOB
Bob Plourde will be the first to tell you he was a less than enthusiastic student in high school, but he learned quite a bit about business in one of his very first jobs.
Couples of the County: Jeff and Ann Pierce Pave the Way, Together
While finding love is sometimes ascribed to fate, finding a friendship and nurturing it until it becomes something more is a choice. Nearly 40 years ago, Jeff and Ann Pierce agreed to take a leap of faith, and they continue to make that choice every day.
Round Pond
After seeing my photo, my cousin allowed that her mother spent her inheritance at White Flower Farm. That would be easy to do! Their prices are steep but their quality is unsurpassed. When this basket arrived a couple of weeks ago, there were a couple of green sprouts in the dirt. Once uncovered within three or four days the entire basket was filled with sprouting bulbs of every kind. What a pleasure to see something so colorful and so full of scent this time of year.
BETTER TOGETHER
In last year’s Valentine’s Day edition, reporter Johnathan Riley shone the “Characters of the County” spotlight on Jefferson couple Jarrod and Cheryl Pinkham, bringing a local love story to the column.

Characters of the County: Scott McArdle’s a People Person Serving the Community
Not everyone knows what they want to be when they grow up, but there may be hints along the way. While King Eider’s Pub co-owner Scott McArdle said he didn’t know when he took a job as a dishwasher at the Damariscotta restaurant in 1997 he would someday own the place, he did know from a young age he liked to interact with others.
In Nature Spring! At Least According To Bald Eagles
The raggedy old white pine I see from my window is a favorite perch for eagles watching for prey on the upper Damariscotta River – at least when the American flag isn’t flapping beside the tree. The national bird might pose proudly beside the flag if the thing’s flapping didn’t distract him from looking for fish or ailing ducks.

Characters of the County: Keeping Maine in Motion with Wiscasset Businessman Norm Sherman
Norm’s Used Cars is well known to most Maine drivers – the business features in radio spots, bumper decals, and license plate frames across the state.

Bringing Food Home Dolly Parton and Potatoes
