RESOLUTION

at

The year of 2023 is less than a week old, meaning many people have already forgone their New Year’s resolutions.

Thistles & Things Grant Supports After-School Program That Builds Skills Through Experiential Education

at

While our Nobleboro and Jefferson campuses are quieter during the winter months as educators from The Leadership School serve in residence at local schools, they are still an ideal setting for hands-on learning experiences in and around nature. Thanks to a three-year Innovation Grant from the Maine Department of Education, we create just that through after-school programs for sixth graders from Warren Community School in Warren and Miller School in Waldoboro.

Truck’n in America

at

Folks, this week wraps up year 2022, and I want to send out hearty note of cheers and good wishes to my friend John, and his lovely bride Frieda, who are closing up shop, at Stars Jewelry store, down on Main Street in Damariscotta after 28 years of serving the community.

THANK YOU

Obscured in the terrible news of the death of a child in Edgecomb over the weekend is this small detail: state police investigators on the scene spent the entirety of the Christmas holiday away from their loved ones.

Energy Matters: Microgrids and A Renewable Grid

at

Decarbonization and concerns about energy security argue in favor of a decentralized electric power grid. The war in Ukraine with its power outages also clearly illustrates the importance of decentralizing the power grid and microgrids.

New Hope Midcoast: Building a Community of Hope Empowering Survivors is Key to Ending Domestic Abuse

at

Central to New Hope Midcoast’s work with survivors of domestic abuse, dating violence, and stalking is a lens of empowerment. The Oxford English Dictionary defines empowerment as the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights. The empowerment model has strong roots in the movement to end domestic and sexual violence. This model is survivor led and committed to finding ways to support survivors that center their autonomy.

Bringing Food Home: Wiscasset Ford Gives Back

at

This past Sunday, most of us were busy cleaning up the snow that Mother Nature gifted us over the weekend. While we were grumbling about the ice, the staff at Wiscasset Ford had already cleaned up their own driveways, and started in at the parking lot at their work, to prepare for their first annual food pantry.

Thrifty Good Food Cranberries: Nature’s Winter Gift

at

Cranberries appear in stores around this time of the year, and we take them for granted as accompaniment to turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This tart and colorful berry deserves additional exploration not only for its health benefits as a superfood to match blueberries due to its high antioxidant content, but also for a delicious addition to our seasonal cooking.

A Note from the Publishers

at

The holiday season is here again, sneaking up on many of us last-minute gift finders. The change of weather, shortening of days, and fast pace many experience this time of year seem to culminate in a need to reflect and refresh. It seems impossible that we find ourselves with only one edition of the paper left for 2022.

Round Pond

at

The picture depicts that Round Pond has its quiet harbor back. Not a mast or a pleasure craft in sight. It looks much like it did in the 60s. Back then, most knew the name and the owner and even their pot buoy colors of every lobster boat in the harbor and most still do. The harbor will be freezing over soon and then the remaining lobster boats will soon disappear as well.
