OF MOUNTAINS AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
Next week, famed mountaineer Ed Webster comes to Skidompha Library in Damariscotta for a talk and book signing. The amiable Webster will discuss his five years in Tibet and highlight his pioneering of a never-before-climbed route up Mt. Everest.
RUMORS OF OUR DEMISE
To read the national headlines, it seems 2009 could be the year that the newspaper industry goes the way of the Dodo.
However, now would be the time for us to raise a shaky finger and say something like, in our best Monty Pythonesque voice, “But we’re not dead yet.”
IT’S WORSE NOW
It’s hard to tell how fitting it is that we lose two local icons within days of each other this past week, but our losses are certainly in keeping with the tone of the current times.
Delighted To See This Beautiful Art Form In Our Area
I want to take the time to thank Barb Bowers, the Board of the Lincoln Theater and those that generously contributed in order to bring the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD to Damariscotta.
Reconsider The Town Form Of Government
We citizens of Wiscasset have tried the town manager form of government for half a decade.

A Newcastle Voter For Casey Stevens
I endorse Casey Stevens of Newcastle for Selectman.
Casey firmly believes that taxpayer dollars must be spent wisely and our town government must be truly transparent. Casey believes that Newcastle residents deserve a monthly accountability of funds spent by posting what is spent each month on the town’s web site and available as a handout at the town office.
Man’s Best Friend
Puppies are so sweet and so cute. Puppies grow up, and all too often, for whatever reason, so many dogs are living their lives day after day tied outdoors. Some people would say, “It’s the family pet!”
