The Hose Line Smoke Detectors Save Lives (and Property)
Smoke alarms are a critical life safety device and your primary warning system for a fire that may occur in your home or where you are staying. Usually, there is a push twice a year (that coincide with daylight saving time changes) to bring attention to their importance, but there are also some recent calls that make it just as important.

Damariscotta History Events That Took Place in the First Two Weeks of July 1948

Characters of the County: Sue of the Seabirds
She sat nested among replica birds, rows of plastic eggs arranged on dowels. She wore a paint-splattered sweatshirt, its patterns like the unique markings of an egg. It was oddly quiet for a room full of birds, the walls busy with imagined life: Plastic bodies painted to look like common terns, albatross, other species, tucked in around the paint cans. A row of puffins painted rainbow “for inclusivity,” she said. Photographs and notes pinned to a large cork board, echoing in images the birds around them.

So, I get a call from my friend Randall and he says, “Hey Larry, want to go to a Celtics game and a Bruins game next week, Sunday and Monday?” I’m thinking well?

So now the answer is, of course I’ll go!

Paws for Thought
National Ferret Appreciation Day is April 2. Of course, as a ferret lover, I think every day should be National Ferret Day, but I know not everyone agrees with me. Some of those disagreements come from misunderstandings about ferrets. I’ve heard everything from “they stink” to “they bite faces.” And while every person’s ferret experiences may be a little different, those who take the time to get to know a ferret will find them to be wonderful pets.
Characters of the County: Ceramicist Alison Evans, Cast By the Coast
Razor clams, urchins. Sea clams and giant snails. Round dinnerware glazed in the tones and character of ocean-worn shells, seaweeds, deep water, rich algae. Barnacles, periwinkles. And oysters, of course.
