It seems like it has been forever, but I finally feel that I can begin writing more “Tales from Hunter’s Landing,” albeit every other week this time around.
Damariscotta History Childhood memories of shopping in these old grocery stores
We started off New Year’s Day with bright, sunny weather, which brightened the outlook for us Maine people for a fresh new start in 2021. Then, around 8 a.m., as I went out on the porch and got a quart of cracked corn for the turkeys, I was greeted with the wonderful sound of “gobble, gobble” from the three large male turkeys wishing me a happy new year and thanking me for their fine breakfast of cracked corn.
Characters of the County: Running for Those Who Can’t
Seven years, nine months, and 29 days. That’s how long Amber Young has been a streak runner — meaning she runs every day, without fail.
NEW NEIGHBORS
A few of our readers do not seem crazy about the recent proliferation of marijuana shops in Damariscotta, soon to be two medical and two recreational.
Vaccinating the Public: It’s a Matter of Time

Characters of the County: A Nobleboro Native’s Golden Age
“I liked to draw the minute I was born,” said 86-year-old artist and illustrator Sally Hough. “I did it and did it well. When everyone compliments you on a skill, it enhances the value of the skill and your worth.”
Energy Matters The physics of a white Christmas
Much of the recent cold and snow can be blamed on excess moisture in the atmosphere and an expanding polar vortex — a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding both of the Earth’s poles. It always exists but strengthens in winter. “Vortex” refers to the counterclockwise flow of air that helps keep the colder air near the poles. In the Northern Hemisphere, the polar vortex expands many times during winter, sending cold air southward with the jet stream.
A Physician’s Vaccine Perspective
I wanted you to hear my take on the COVID-19 vaccine from both a physician and an emergency medical services perspective.
REFLECTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
This is the final edition of 2020, and we are honestly happy to see this year come to a close.
Damariscotta History A year I will always remember
The year 2020 was a year I will always remember. First there was the loss of my wife of 59 years, Marjorie, in April. Funeral arrangements were altered by COVID-19. Sunday church services were called off in our area. Doctor’s appointments were canceled and rescheduled and canceled again.
Whitefield Column
It’s a lovely, snowy day here in Whitefield as I write this introductory column. While sitting by a fire and watching a light, fluffy snow piling up, the birds fly from feeder to feeder enjoying the much-needed nourishment.
Characters of the County: A True Renaissance Man in Bristol
Bristol resident Darin Carlucci is many things — a woodworker, a firefighter, a school committee member, a husband and a father, a dancer, a guitar player, a birder, and a builder.
Thrifty Good Food Holiday cookie connections
The winter holidays seem to bring out our nostalgia for the warmth of home, family, and friends. Whether the celebration is in the light of one small candle during a war, the seven lamps of Hanukkah, or the glory of a candlelit Christmas tree, we all yearn for peace and connections to loved ones past and present. This year has made it more difficult for everyone, but we still strive with those feelings in our socially distanced lives.
WALDOBORO’S WANDERER
Last week in this space, we were celebrating the addition of two new correspondents. This week, we mourn the loss of one of our longest-tenured correspondents: Mark Biscoe, author of the history column “Waldoboro Wanderings.”
