Henry, A Dog’s Life in Maine

at

Hello my friends. I am not sure, but I am thinking maybe, just maybe spring has finally sprung. One cannot be too sure about these things.

Paper Pets: Life with Tim

at

The Stinky, Little Sir, Potato, Bubba. These are just a few of many, many names we have given this handsome boy who now allows us to share the house with him.

Nobleboro History Revisited Alewives for Haiti

at

During the five years of 1936-1940, all surplus alewives at Damariscotta Mills were packed whole, salted, and shipped in barrels to Port au Prince, the capital of Haiti. The Haitian buyer was Brandt, Augusta, Nadal Co., whose trade name was Banco. As shown in the photo, the name Banco was stenciled on each barrelhead. Other information on the barrelhead was “Fancy Maine Alewives, Product of U.S.A., W. I. Oliver inspector.”

NOW AND FOREVER

By the time this paper hits newsstands, all graduation ceremonies in the county will have concluded.

Characters of the County: Counting on Erin Bean

at

It’s hard to forget those who answer the call for help in times of need, whether that’s a friend, family, or even a stranger. For Erin Bean, Dresden resident, Wiscasset Ambulance Service Chief, mother to six, gardener, and bagel baker, she’s been showing up for people for over 25 years.

Westport Island

It all starts out so simple. But gets complicated in a hurry. She lies feeling safe. Warm. Secure. Cared for. Protected. Fed. Loved. In my arms. A death grip on the plastic bottle. Sucking hard and fast. Then dozing for many seconds. Then sucking hard again. Then dozing. Until bottle’s empty and her eyes are closed. So peaceful.

News Along the Way Summer Shuffle

at

As spring has been slow and steady, summer seems to be coming at full force. Our event list is jam packed and rooms at the inn are being booked. Our life on the farm is full and we are so grateful for all those who contribute their time, energy, and interest into developing and expanding our community and vision.

Round Pond

at

The area is teaming with wildlife this year, that is for sure. We have had a snapping turtle hanging around for a couple of weeks and are hoping that she laid her eggs on our loam pile. We have named her Winifred. She was hanging around our front step for a day or so and even ate some lettuce that I very carefully set near her.

The Round Pond Chronicles of Adelaide Butman

We were allowed to walk with the boys around the quadrangle between football practice and supper. The lucky couple got the Spoon Holder. This was an unused doorway facing the tennis courts, just a little removed from the beaten track. There was a lively competition for that desirable spot.

LOOKING UP

at

It was easy to believe everything my father told my sister and I when we were kids: tales of fish living in puddles after it rained on Elm Street in Damariscotta, friends of his only living off cherry Pop-Tarts, and how he rode his old Honda motorcycle across the country a few times.

Characters of the County: Growing Horizons with Chris Perry

at

Part of the joy of having a passion is sharing it with others, and for decorated athlete, longtime Bristol Consolidated School physical education teacher, coach, and pumpkin grower Chris Perry, he continues to love working with the young athletes and students of Lincoln County.

I have some unfortunate and frustrating news to share with you. As of June 4, all libraries within the state of Maine will be experiencing a temporary statewide interruption to our interlibrary loan service. This means that we are now unable to place any requests for materials (books, books on CD, DVDs, library of things, etc.) with any other library.
