A Bird’s Tale
Maine’s Real James Bond
Many people know the story of how the famous fictional spy, James Bond, was named. Author of the 007 spy series, Ian Fleming was an avid birder and spent much of his time on Jamaica. The only field guide to the birds of the Caribbean at the time was “Birds of the West Indies,” authored by an...

Be aware of the ‘granny scam’
I got a call one morning from what sounded like my old friend from whom I have kept in touch with for years. He started asking about my back, as he had back surgery years ago and knows I have chronic back pain. He then told me that he has a cold he can't shake and had asked a friend to drive him to...

Different strokes for different folks
It’s always refreshing to read about folks who think outside the box, and while they’re certainly not the first to do it, we found ourselves intrigued by a San Francisco couple’s decision on living arrangements. Real estate is high in the city, and an “average’’ home can reportedly cost close to a...
Jon Luoma featured at Stable Gallery

Jon Luoma, of Alna, Maine and a member of the Stable Gallery in Damariscotta, approaches his painting as a poet. Jon immerses himself in a setting...

Two goodbyes
Word that Ben Averill has moved on from his Wiscasset planner job was not a large surprise. Voters may bring back the job sooner or later, or never, and maybes don’t pay the bills. If Averill had been a lesser professional, maybe he would have had to pound the pavement longer and still been...
