“For many families in Maine, it’s a rite of passage – a tradition that is passed down through generations that comes to define summer in a region that holds the season itself and its bounty dear.” That’s a quote about picking blueberries from the wildblueberries.com website.

Good music, good food, and good company, part two: Two weeks ago, I wrote this column about the grand time I had in the fine little town of Boothbay Harbor while talking music with Cathy Sherrill, the executive director of The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor, over lunch at Baker’s Way.
NOBLEBORO AND SKIDOMPHA
Nobleboro voters will consider a significant increase in their town’s support of Skidompha Library when they go to town meeting Saturday.
Food, Life, and Manhattans Eggplant Parm, keto, and my friend, fat
I’m doing the keto diet, kind of.
Last week I had a cocktail with Trish L’Heureux, the owner of the soon-to-open Chickadee Flea shop in Damariscotta.

A day at the opera: Back in late December, I wrote in this column about all the arts-related venues and events I planned to check out in 2019. Among the resolutions I listed for the new year, I said, “I resolve to take in at least one Met opera broadcast at Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta.”
Lyme Time Tone and attitude
The great Maya Angelou once said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to the Boothbay Region High School girls basketball team on a historic season.
Jefferson Column
March is here and it has a way of encouraging me. Winter will clearly end, sooner or later. The past two snowstorms were not as bad as predicted. The light has changed, and I sense spring is just around the corner. Of course, we must endure mud season first!
‘What the Heart Loved it Keeps’: The Specter of Change on the Pemaquid Peninsula
January 2011, Round Pond
I’m in my truck in the dirt pull-in of a relative’s summer place, buttoned up for the winter overlooking the harbor. During the summer this is an active, happy place.
Food, Life, and Manhattans Crispy, crunchy, pecan-y, golden-brown chicken
OK kids, this week’s recipe is outrageous. It’s pecan-crusted chicken, tenderized with buttermilk. Don’t worry if you don’t like buttermilk, or don’t think you do, because chances are you’ve never even tried it.

Good music, good food, and good company: These three things are true about me: I love music, I love Vietnamese food, and I love meeting new and interesting people (especially over lunch).
A FEW THOUGHTS
A few thoughts on important local issues of the week:
Skidompha Skoop
It’s back to the classroom this week! We hosted a number of programs for our school-age patrons last week, our toddler and baby book groups were bustling, we had young journalists writing newsworthy articles, and we had a teen creative-writing workshop!
