Tech Talk

at

Each month, LCI Fiber Optic Broadband and Tidewater Telecom will be submitting a “Tech Talk” article, where we will try to answer questions from homeowners and businesses about broadband, the internet, Wi-Fi, networks, equipment, and how to use technology safely. And we’ll do it all without using “geek speak” or tech jargon (in other words, in plain English).

Last week I mentioned B.J.’s upcoming surgery. All went well with a new defibrillator and pacemaker implanted along with new batteries good for 10 years. Maine Medical could not have been more professional and kind. We were in the new tower called The Malone Family Tower. Boy, that must be one wealthy family! It is an amazing facility and we are very fortunate to have such medical treatment available to us.

BEYOND LOCAL

at

There are lots of buzz words that float around, some take hold and become part of our normal vocabulary, others rise and fall quickly. The current industry buzz word for our type of newspaper is hyperlocal, in that we focus on a concentrated community and geography. But to us, it is just how we have been doing business for a long time.

Characters of the County: Paul Kelsey Sr. Meets the Challenge Head-On

at

Paul Kelsey Sr. said he first noticed the problem when he began having trouble getting into his truck sometime around 2015. A strong, active man who liked to hunt and fish and drilled wells for living, the South Bristol native was surprised when his feet started ignoring the signals from his brain.

Tails & Tales

I could smell the scent of pine as it was being chewed and enjoyed by the gathering of goofballs outside the barn. The goats were enjoying the discarded tree that had stood proudly decorated in their barnyard during the Christmas week.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

It’s around this time of year we usually write an editorial about the importance of supporting local sports teams. Winter is long and bleak and sometimes there’s no better cure for that than spending the evening in a school gym cheering on the children of your friends and neighbors.

A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: NOTICES

at

We have long considered The Lincoln County News to be the community’s newspaper. Our family acting in a stewardship role of the paper, working tirelessly with the staff to keep the news reported, lights on, and the presses rolling. In this day and age, this responsibility can be more difficult to realize.

Phew, the long holiday season stretching from Thanksgiving at the end of November through to Jan. 1 is in the rearview mirror. Not that I don’t enjoy the festivities but it is a lot. I did not meet the early deadlines the last couple of weeks for my column.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY

at

Ever since its debut in December 2020, our “Characters of the County” column has proven to be one of the paper’s most popular features.

Marilyn Beane’s World

Greetings, dear readers! Your “Marilyn Beane’s World” columnist is back on another week’s journey. Where this path will take us is anyone’s guess. Come along with me and we will find out as we travel. Also I will have news from my home at Windward Gardens in Camden.

FRESH START

at

When we were younger, adults were constantly complaining how quickly time was going by. We didn’t understand it then – the weeks leading up to summer vacation, Christmas, and birthdays moved slower than molasses in January – but we definitely do now.
