Our children are the future, not only for our individual families, but as part of the next generation of Mainers in which we place our hopes for tomorrow’s world. Our schools, along with parents, are charged with preparing them for that world.
Rising Tide Election
We ask Rising Tide members for their vote in the upcoming Rising Tide co-op board election. Ballots will be accepted over the next four weeks.
EMBRACING SCRUTINY
The Wiscasset Board of Selectmen and Wiscasset Town Manager Marian Anderson deserve credit for their response to a highly public examination of whether the town needs a town manager or a five-member board of selectmen, or whether a different, less expensive model might work.
Morning Rounds Sometimes the most important lessons come from the most difficult patients
Every emergency department has patients who doctors and nurses see on a regular basis and often, we get to know them fairly well.
From the Legislature Ranked-choice voting – a straightforward election reform
How simple and straightforward is ranked-choice voting, Question 5 on the November ballot?
View From Over the Hill Can't stand it!
After writing “View” for some 16 years, I find I just can’t stop because things don’t stop happening. Just so you know my reason for stopping: I have been recently told I am at the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease and will likely end up not knowing what the LCN even is, so I didn’t want my reading public to watch me slowly fall apart. Apparently, however, it is going to take a long time, and I have decided to let my editor tell me when the time for me to stop has come.
Long Cove
Sorry I missed you last week, Mom, but I kind of missed the last step coming down the stairs last Tuesday and did a number on my left ankle – scraped and bruised, and pain, but I’ll live. So that was the reason for my tardiness.
Rachel Carson Area
On Saturday, George and I went to the gem and mineral show at the Augusta Armory. There were many interesting displays to look at. We each came home with a little treasure that we purchased to add to our collection.
Westport Island
Cool temps, more smiles. And more to come this weekend with the 18th annual Westport Island Artisans Guild Craft Show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17 at the town hall. There will be great locally made gifts for special occasions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, graduations, holidays, and no-special-reason days! I love this chance to meet and talk with these talented folks, like Dexter Averill, Laurel Olson, Joyce Hill, Libby Fairfield, Judy Ward, Kathy Closson, Suzi Whittemore, Anne Cole-Fairfield, Jeanette Reed, Carol Blake, Sandy Besecker, and more. Give a call to Anne, if you have any questions, at 882-5078.
Alna
Ralph Hilton and Susan Sutter played hosts to the 50-year reunion of the class of 1966. They had a good turnout. One-third of the surviving class members were there. Neil Chubbuck, Wendy Verney, John Maclaren, Edith Peters, Patty Hains, Frank Bowdin, Basil Brown, Barbara Berry, Natalie Simmons, and Ralph and Sue all agreed they had a fun time remembering and taking pictures. Waiting and hoping more can attend in June, for the alumni banquet.
Round Pond
Now that Labor Day has come and gone, several businesses in the area have modified their hours. The Anchor is now closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday each week but open Thursdays through the weekend until Columbus Day on Oct. 10. Their hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with brunch being served on Sundays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. as well as the lunch menu.
Yes on 4
My name is Sumner “Ricky” Richards IV and I own S. Fernald’s Country Store, a small family-run sandwich shop located in downtown Damariscotta.
Somewhere in Somerville
Good Shepherd Food Bank kicked off the seventh annual School Spirit Challenge on Friday, Sept. 9 at Erskine Academy in South China.
Waste Watch
A big thank you to our friends the Horseshoe Crabs for providing us with entertainment on Saturday. Peter, Paul, and Brian made us smile while we were working or taking care of our trash and recycling. I hope you enjoyed the music as it found its way across the transfer station. Thanks again, Crabs.
