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.
Coastal Economist
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 … “
View From Over the Hill
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?”
View from Over the Hill
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.
Morning Rounds
When my family and I moved to Maine in 1989, one of the things I liked best about our new home was how safe we felt.
ORDER IN THE COURT
Given the backdrop of a presidential election, the shifting demographics of the nation, and the ideological balance of the court, it would seem the stakes could hardly get any higher when it comes to naming a new Supreme Court justice.
KEEP ON KICKING
For a while there, back in the 1980s, cocaine was ubiquitous. At one time or another, it seemed like everybody to some degree did it, or had it, or knew where they could get it. If they didn’t, they almost certainly knew someone who did.
A LOSS IN THE FAMILY
One of the great truths of life is that things are always better faster stronger in memory.
Maybe It’s Time to Try a Different Approach
The state of Maine, not to mention Lincoln County, has a serious problem with drug abuse, and unfortunately, it does not seem to be getting better over time. Notwithstanding years of effort fighting the War on Drugs, and promoting drug awareness programs like DARE in our schools, the trend in drug abuse has been going in the wrong direction.
Let’s Not Ever Forget
Wednesday, Jan. 27 is the 43rd anniversary of the signing of the “Paris Peace Accord” ending the Vietnam War in 1973.
A Governor Lost For Words
Recently Governor Paul LePage stated that he would not deliver the State of the State Address before the Legislature. The people of Maine will not get a chance to hear it aired either.
