We are happy to welcome another new business to Lincoln County this week. Riverside Butcher Co. will open in the space on Main Street formerly home to Narragansett Leathers and Tori Anna Designs.
A Great Improvement in Care
I’m writing today to announce a great improvement in our care, and to ask for your patience.
A Sad Day for Bristol Dogs
The proposed dog park was voted down at the Bristol town meeting. Following my presentation, discussion was dominated by three people who could only foresee dog fights, people getting injured, lawsuits, huge piles of dog poo, and a river of dog urine.

For those who don’t like sentiment, throw this down and go on to something else. Today I want to share with all my folks what’s happening in my church. Most of you already know that I lived for years in Damariscotta on the Biscay Road. My partner at the time, Erik Nord, and I fixed up the beat-up old house on the corner of Biscay and Standpipe.

Nineteenth-century architect Daniel Burnham frequently expressed the admonition, “Make no small plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not themselves be realized.” He apparently lived those words.
Morning Rounds
It is often said that one of the best ways to truly learn something is to teach it.
PARKS AND RECREATION
The man responsible for the oversight of what are perhaps the two foremost summertime destinations in Lincoln County fell three votes short of re-election Monday.
The Northern Belle
I live in an old coastal town in the county of Kent, England, Great Britain, called Broadstairs.
Is This Newcastle?
Many people who exit Route 1 north onto Business Route 1 think they have arrived in Damariscotta. A new Facebook page and photo contest aim to correct that misunderstanding. This is Newcastle invites residents and fans of the town to highlight the many unique and beautiful parts of Newcastle, which was incorporated as a town in 1775.
What is it Like To Live in Maine?
I am writing to you as a part of a class project involving the novel “The Watsons Go to Birmingham.” My classmates and I are contacting newspapers located across the country in a state that we chose to learn more about. I wanted to learn more about Maine and what it is like to live there. I want to visit there to truly experience life on the coast.
Ranked Choice Is the Right Choice
I am very excited that Maine citizens have the option to select ranked-choice voting for elections. When a ballot includes three or more candidates for a seat, ranked-choice voting allows each citizen to stipulate their first, second, and third choice for that seat – or as many choices as there are candidates.

Back when I was a 10-year-old rascal, I frequently found myself glued to the black-and-white television in the downstairs playroom of our northern New Jersey suburban home, watching the “Soupy Sales Show” on WNEW, channel 5. Most of his show has disappeared from mind, with one exception: Soupy routinely employed the comedic vehicle “show me a … and I’ll show you a … “

I started way ahead of time talking up town meeting so Robin would go with me. “I am not going. They don’t know me. They don’t care what I think. Besides, how can one vote make any difference?”

My internet phone is a miraculous thing as far as I understand such things. My first experience with a phone was when I lived at the dormitory up at Erskine Academy in 1958. We had a pay phone on the hallway wall. You had to pick up the earpiece, give the handle a crank, wait for the operator to speak, and tell her what number you wanted: “Line 3, ring 1, please.” Many times “Karen Pierson’s house, please” would work as I called her up to get help with a homework problem. We didn’t have a phone at home growing up.
