On Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m., we drove into the Sullivan Tire lot to ask if our tires could get a puff of additional air. We were greeted by the manager and his team who very kindly set to work to locate the proper inflation information on the inside of a car door.
OPEN YEAR ‘ROUND
One of the great secrets of the great State of Maine is that we are, in fact, open year ’round. Those from away may think we shutter our lives when they go away but we have more than that.
Historic Demolition
See it while you can: D-Day is approaching – next week! Despite the concerns expressed by numerous neighbors and lovers of history, an out of state buyer has proposed to raze the 1730s cape at 21 Pond Rd in Damariscotta Mills – one of the oldest houses in Lincoln County.
HARDWOOD HOTBED
Of all the many best-kept secrets about Maine, one of the most surprising to visitors may be the fact the Pine Tree State is actually a basketball hotbed; jam-packed with talented players, dedicated coaches, and seriously passionate fans.
LCAS Thanks Community
The Lincoln County Animal Shelter thanks all of you, who made the full-page insert in the News of LCAS adoptable animals possible. The leg work that it took to gather all the sponsors was a real labor of love. It means much to the shelter to have this page to tack on our bulletin board, and to share copies with the community to display.
TROUBLE
Last week, the Bangor Daily News’ decision to ask for the list of all registered gun owners in the state, and the resulting firestorm it kicked off spawned a lengthy and heated discussion here in our newsroom of the intricate issues involved.
The Lottery System
What a good idea the state of Maine has come with this time. Now the state has decided to make a lottery for the elver/eeling fishers. Which one will be next?
Kudos To Central Maine Power
I decided to come up to my house at Pemaquid Beach to ride out Nemo because the first forecasts were for less snow than Boston. Boy, am I glad I did. Apart from the adventure of the howling storm and the snow piling up and up – I was grateful that the electricity held.
GETTING DOWN TO IT
Who doesn’t want a tax cut? Who doesn’t want more money in their pocket? Who wants to pay more than they absolutely have to for anything and/or why should they? That’s bad business.
Totally Undeserved
A frequent bugaboo of the “fiscal cliff” debacle was the “milk cliff” – the threat of milk price doubling, if Congress failed to extend dairy subsidies. Parents were forgoing other necessities, because their children “had to have milk.”
The Best Help Available
Multiple kudos to the Bremen volunteer emergency team.
Wonderful Merry Christmas
Thank you to all the people that were so thoughtful to us to make the Waldoboro Green have such a wonderful Merry Christmas.
TROUBLE BEHIND
If you were feeling snarky, and had web access this week, with little effort you could have surfed onto any one of a dozen different blog entries and essays sniping about how 2013 won’t be a Happy New Year after all.
GET READY TO HOWL
If the Maine Municipal Association’s early information is right, and the state actually attempts to appropriate the excise tax municipalities typically rely on as a source of revenue, we are going to join with every other community commentator, town official and taxpayer howling in protest.
