Characters of the County: Riverside with Ron McCrary

at

Those who have driven down Bristol Road toward Pemaquid may know Ron McCrary as the proprietor of River Mist Kayaks or the picturesque cut-flower business he runs out of a roadside stand during the warmer months. Some longtime residents may know his Bristol Mills home as the site where Busy Bee Ice Cream once stood; still others may find his hand-painted “Feck Putin” sign more memorable.

Tails & Tales

at

I heard deep sighs as I walked to the barn. There sat all the goofballs with their little goat faces looking glum.

Kristi Favaloro, children’s librarian, here. It is my absolute delight to fill in and write this week’s letter to you all.

A KING OF COMMUNITY HEART

at

Everything has its center, and for the towns that form Lincoln County there are debates about where, or even who, that is for each.

Characters of the County: Dave Kramer’s Story in the Sky

at

The lucky few know exactly what they want to be when they grow up. For Nobleboro resident Col. Dave Kramer, a retired, decorated U.S. Air Force officer and founding member of the Bates College soccer team, he never imagined that he would go from building model planes as a child to flying them as an adult.

Marilyn Beane’s World

at

Greetings, dear readers! I am your “Marilyn Beane’s World” columnist, back on another week’s journey. I’m not sure where it will take us. But join me and I will share my news from my home at Windward Gardens, in Camden.

HONORING, REMEMBERING

at

We must never forget the dedication of American veterans who fought in several wars and conflicts, dating back to the Revolutionary War, from 1775-1783. What followed was World War I (1914-1918); World War II (1939-1945); the Korean War (1950-1953); the Vietnam War (1955-1975); the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991); the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021); and more.

“It is rare for people to be asked the question which puts them squarely in front of themselves” – John Proctor, “The Crucible.”

Characters of the County: To the Point with Jim Hazell

at

Fitting in is something Jim Hazell, the enthusiastic, affable Bristol Parks and Recreation employee and maple syrup maker, has done so well in the area that people assume he’s always been in Lincoln County. In a spiritual sense, Hazell may have, but physically, the former Marblehead, Mass. police officer and award-winning Realtor has only been in Bristol since 2015.

Thrifty Good Food Pork Chops and Madeleines

at

The ghouls and goblins have fled until the next year, leaving us bereft of their elusive whimsy of shape and excitement as fall fades in November. October has lingered with colors slowly fading, but after a couple of days of Indian summer, chill has come here to stay and we turn to the warmth of indoors.
