All about the 6-by-6: I popped into Kefauver Studio & Gallery in Damariscotta last Thursday, Oct. 11, hoping to find exactly what I did find: painter and gallery owner (and super nice guy) Will Kefauver and a whole lot of excellent art. I caught Kefauver while he was busy hanging the gallery’s new “6 x 6” show, set to open the following day. The show, as the name implies, features pieces that measure 6 inches by 6 inches – little squares of artistic goodness.

WHAT GOES WRONG?

The civility and common ground among the candidates at the forums we hold before each election make us wonder: what goes wrong when the winners arrive in Augusta?

Paws for Thought

Earlier this month, I got an exclusive interview with a celebrity dog. Her name is G, and she was the inspiration for the “Pupkin” pumpkin found at The Good Supply. G graciously allowed me onto her property for an interview. (Full disclosure: I did bribe her with lots of treats.”

Jefferson Column

The autumn is glorious this year, and once again the brilliant display of change sweeps over me. Driving the roads of Jefferson this past week I experienced my hometown through the eyes of a visitor, my friend, Evelyn, who arrived to see the fall colors just in time, flying in from Montana.

Stuart’s stories: Twenty-seven seconds into Charles Stuart’s beautiful new short film “Sheepscot River Stories” we see two preteens jump from the side of a low rural bridge into the Sheepscot River on a sunny day, a just-audible squeal of delight coming from one of them before the camera pans up to take in a wide shot of the grandeur of the river and the deep-green woods on the horizon.

Fortman Wants Focus on Issues

Recently mailings were sent to voters in state Senate District 13 attacking my opponent, Dana Dow. Although my campaign did not produce or authorize these materials, I want to publicly denounce the flyers.

DEEPER INTO THE GUTTER

We want to give credit where credit is due and point out Senate District 13 candidate Laura Fortman’s letter to the editor.

Food, Life, and Manhattans Cream puffs in all their airy, elegant glory

at

Cream puffs, also called profiteroles, are totally ridiculous and, well, creamy, puffy bundles of heaven. When was the last time you had the pleasure of biting into one? And I’m not talking about the ones you find in the frozen section at the grocery store. I’m talking about a freshly made cream puff.

Wally’s art: There’s an art exhibit currently on the walls of Pemaquid Watershed Association’s office-gallery in Damariscotta titled “Remembering Wally.” It is a retrospective of the artwork, in various mediums, of the late artist Wally Margaret Huber Schweighauser, who would have turned 105 on Sept. 3. She passed away in 2016 at the age of 103.

THE PRO-TRAFFIC JAM SENATOR SPEAKS

The negative mailers are here!

Every year, both political parties flood our mailboxes with attack mailers to undermine the other party’s candidates with distortion and innuendo.

It’s a Crime

at

Three weeks ago, I placed five signs at the intersection of Route 130 and Huddle Road in New Harbor. Four days ago, they were all stolen. Speculating as to who is behind this vandalism serves no purpose. The point is that it’s a crime, not a prank or a protest.

Alan Pooley: Mover and Shaker

at

Our community has lost a number of our movers and shakers this year. Many of our retirees brought their skills and willingness to help all of the nonprofits that make this part of Midcoast Maine one of the best places to live in these turbulent times.
