Characters of the County: For Andrea Williamson, The Holidays Are All About Spreading Joy
Medomak Middle School math teacher Andrea Williamson is a bundle of energy. When the holidays draw near, her soul is filled with an infectious spirit that spreads cheer and joy to her students, staff, and anyone that comes in contact with her.
Noel
The word noel has many meanings depending upon the derivative you choose to follow. During the Christmas Season it has been understood to mean “good news.” I believe we all could use some “good news” and the calendar offers us an opportunity to hear the best news once a year on Dec. 25.
Bringing Food Home Lincoln County Gleaners in the winter
The Lincoln County Gleaners is a program run by Healthy Lincoln County in Damariscotta. The group was formed in 2017 and has grown since then. We harvest produce from local farms, rescuing food and then distributing it to folks who would otherwise not receive or have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The gleaners distribute fresh produce via designated drop-off sites (such as libraries, child care centers, and apartments), and at multiple share tables, where people can choose what they want to bring home at an unstaffed, farmer’s market-type display of free and fresh produce.

Waldoboro Voices 'They gotta be here somewhere'
Winter is Lanny Winchenbach’s bloodworm season. In the other months, April to November, he fishes for lobster. Bloodworming is a profession that dates back to the 1920s in Maine. For Lanny, it dates back to when he was 15. The clams were plentiful, but the market was terrible so he switched to harvesting bloodworms.
MONEY ALWAYS WORKS
As we go to press this week, there are less than two weeks to go before Christmas. This is the time when the question “have you got all your shopping done?” is as ubiquitous as hand bells and Christmas cookies.
Skidompha Skoop
I want to bring to your attention a unique and possibly critical program we have coming up at Skidompha: Self-Care Second.
Bringing Food Home It Takes a Village
We’ve all heard the phrase “it takes a village.” Sometimes I think it’s important to really get some perspective on what that phrase really means.

The first time Sean Fleming remembers hearing from his wife, she was leaving him a curt message on his answering machine in summer 1993, asking if he planned to appear at a music festival at Bowdoin College, as scheduled.
SMOOTH SAILING
The measure of a good mariner is in how they navigate difficult seas. South Bristol, a town that, in the past year, elected a new select board, experienced a complete turnover of its town office staff, and confronted the fleeting possibility of closing South Bristol School, has shown its considerable dexterity.
