Appreciating subtlety: Mathias Fine Art, in the Boothbay village of Trevett, had been on my radar for some time before my recent visit there, due to the intriguing nature of its shows and its intriguing location as a village I had not yet visited in the Boothbay region.

Reveling in ragtime: OK, if the likability and enthusiasm of Alna composer and ragtime pianist Aaron Robinson, whom I met for the first time on Thursday, Sept. 26 at Alna General Store, is any indication of the likability and top-notch quality of the upcoming Glenn Jenks Ragtime Revue in Camden on Saturday, Oct. 5 (and I believe it is), I say, “Go see it!!!” (That is with three exclamation marks, to be clear.)

Reveling in island time at Kefauver: Last week, I reviewed Damariscotta painter Will Kefauver’s fine little solo show at Rising Tide Co-op in this newspaper. In my review, I mentioned that Kefauver has a multi-artist show called “Monhegan and the Islands” up at his gallery in Damariscotta, Kefauver Studio & Gallery.

at

As the acorns started crashing down on the deck and the roof and everywhere else, I became aware that there were no squirrels around collecting them.

I’m surrounded by woods and oak and other trees and there are no squirrels!

This is a heartfelt message and explanation to our neighbors in Bristol who are upset about the activity on our land and who may not realize that our values for nature and the environment are more in alignment with theirs than they might think.

Another View Solutions

“Another View,” like any group daring to dispute progressive-approved, politically correct talking points, has had a series of trolls assigned to regularly post online “responses.”

Greetings, dear readers. Here I am, your Marilyn Beane’s World columnist finally coming to you with news about myself, which I am still recovering from being so ill at Pen Bay in Rockport. This is the nearest hospital to where I live now.

Canvas craft and the art of meticulousness: I had the pleasure of spending time on Saturday, Sept. 14 with Benjamin Zook at his business, Cooper Canvas, located at 544 Cooper Road in Whitefield.

This is to the person who goes to the Nobleboro-Jefferson Transfer Station each week and lets the newspapers he is carrying fly out of his truck along the Back Meadow Road. I’m tired of picking up your trash every week.

From the Legislature: Transportation Safety and New Laws

at

Road safety has been on many of our minds this summer. Fatal traffic accidents always have a way of reminding us to pay attention. Since we all need to share the road – school buses, cars, trucks, and motorcycles, as well as bicycles and walkers – here are some reminders and some new laws to consider when you leave your house.
