Bringing Food Home Welcome Spring

at

How are you all welcoming spring? Here at Healthy Lincoln County, we are watching for the returning birds, celebrating the arrival of baby animals on local farms, enjoying this year’s maple syrup, and, of course, getting ready for the growing season.

Hello, friends! I’m stepping in for Matthew this week.

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT

at

After 18 action-packed months as an LCN reporter, I wrote my last article on the Twin Villages desk Wednesday, April 10. For family reasons, I’ve made the very difficult decision to depart the newspaper.

Round Pond

at

If you are coming down Route 32 from Bremen to Round Pond there is a bridge on the town line called The Kitty Breskin. For the life of me I had never heard that name before, of course thinking that it is a memorial bridge and related to someone in the area. I have been asking people around town about it and typically the answer is that they have wondered the same thing as well. I finally had the sense to Google it and found out that she is a woman who lives in Boothbay who was integral in the design and construction of the bridge. Mystery solved.

RESPONSIBLE SUN-STARING

at

Lately, flimsy plastic sunglasses have become a hot commodity. Eyes are glued to next week’s forecast, and dramatic phrases like “once in a lifetime” and “path of totality” have worked their way into everyday conversations. It can only mean one thing: An eclipse is coming, and we’re right in its path.

Whitefield Library

“What’s happening at the library?” you might be asking, so we’ll start this one off first by expressing our enormous gratitude!

Thrifty Good Food Spring into Easter

at

Last week it was tempting to paraphrase Gilbert and Sullivan: “The snowflakes that fall in the spring, Tra la, have nothing to do with the spring.” A relatively mild early March had lulled us hoping for an early spring only to remind us, the week before Easter, of our northern location. However, the vase of forced forsythia branches on our table inspires me to think of foods for the season.

A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

at

Quite often, we will be asked a question about the newspaper, its history, how things are going, or the process of publishing the paper. We welcome the questions and want to provide a forum for providing the answers to all our readers.

Paper Pets: HEDGEHOG

at

Typically, I work on articles while listening not to calming music or white noise but, rather, to the sound of snoring: a rumbling, wheezing, near-incessant snoring that emanates from my 17-year-old, eight-pound Pomeranian, Hedgehog.
