Cheers & Jeers
Wednesday, May 16, 2018 - 9:15am
Cheers & Jeers is a feature I remember from the days of reading TV Guide. TV Guide, for those born after the advent of cable TV and the internet, is a small, bi-weekly magazine which lists upcoming TV programs, contains features on shows, actors and actresses, a TV crossword puzzle and more. Now, you can get the week's channel listings through your cable provider, on the internet (TV Guide.com and other locations) and, if you still like magazine subscriptions, in the TV Guide magazine.

Attack of the ticks
Wednesday, May 16, 2018 - 8:45am
Can anyone go anywhere in Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties and not walk into a conversation about ticks? I cannot. And as creepy as those creepy crawlers are, which is highly creepy, the fact ticks are all the talk is good. They can give us Lyme and other serious illnesses, so feeling and seeing them on ourselves this spring and hearing it is happening to others, too, brings thoughts of those horror movies where you just know, the first tarantula or killer bee is going to escalate to hundreds...

Rebuilding Together lives up to its name
Wednesday, May 9, 2018 - 8:45am
Saturday, the Boothbay region once again demonstrated why it is such a very special place. This time, it was Rebuilding Together that deserves the credit for making us all so very proud to live here. Everywhere we went, there were crews hard at work. Scores of volunteers stepped forward on this special day set aside each year to help qualifying homeowners complete much-needed projects around their home that they either couldn’t afford on their own, or were unable to physically handle,...

Thank an officer
Wednesday, May 9, 2018 - 7:00am
Twenty-nine years ago next month, a jury in Wiscasset convicted a career criminal of manslaughter for killing a Lewiston police officer, and of the attempted murder of two other officers. Nicolo Leone fatally shot Officer David Payne 30 years ago this July. The case was one of the first homicides I covered after college. It had nothing to do with Wiscasset and at the time, neither did I. A justice's decision following extensive publicity in Androscoggin County placed the trial here on a change...

The vegetable man
Wednesday, May 2, 2018 - 10:00am
My first employment was working for farmer Errol Clark, “the vegetable man” for a few hours each week during July and August in the latter part of the 1960s. Clark sold vegetables grown on his farm in Jefferson from the bed of his pickup truck in Boothbay Harbor in front of the Methodist Church. Clark had built a canopy for the truck bed, tall enough so my younger brothers, Scott and Glenn, who also helped, and I could stand in the back and help bag the vegetables. I think we were around the...

Passenger cars drop in popularity
Wednesday, May 2, 2018 - 8:45am
Ford Motor Company made a dramatic announcement this past week: They’re phasing out production of all but two of their passenger cars. They’re not alone. Other auto manufacturers have revealed they, too, will make fewer passenger cars. Why? North Americans don’t want them. Ford plans to keep only its popular Mustang, as well as a newly redesigned crossover, the Focus Active. Other than these two, they’ll concentrate on crossovers, SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and trucks because they say that’s...

Make your vote count

In most Maine communities, this is the season for town meetings. Some towns have already held theirs, and others are scheduled in the next few weeks. In addition to acting on a number of important issues, a key part of this annual tradition is the election of officers who will represent voters and oversee the operation of their respective towns for the coming year. It’s not uncommon in some of Maine’s smaller towns to see several officers re-elected year after year. Why? Because they have...

Well-deserved, Nancy Roby; welcome back, racers, fans

You can't find Wiscasset’s Nancy Roby on our pages every week, but few consecutive editions seem to go by without her in a photo. Roby isn't photo-bombing, although with her good cheer and fast smile, she would be good at it. And she has ample opportunity. She’s at local events, taking part and usually helping pull them off, like some other area residents, seeking no credit, just a good outcome for a cause and a nice time for all. Roby’s a doer. And she's nearly always smiling or laughing when...

It is part of my job to get the copy ready for publishing and, luckily, I have a back-up, our copy editor.

Notes on a Wednesday
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 - 9:00am
I scrubbed this week’s editorial written before Wiscasset’s big vote Tuesday night. I wrote about a town being more than its politics, and how, as passionate as the downtown debate has gotten, when the dust settles, to remember everyone was saying, doing and voting the way they thought was correct. They weren't poor thinkers, overly concerned or not concerned enough, if their view differed from yours; and townspeople will keep going, together. Since the vote, we have already received one letter...

There are many paths to success
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 - 8:30am
Most high school seniors have already made post-graduation plans which may include college in September, entering the workforce, or perhaps a career in the military. By this time in the spring, even those who have had trouble making up their mind have reached a decision. For some students, deciding what to do is relatively easy. College-bound students may have weighed the pros and cons of several of their top choices before making a commitment. Some have waited until the last minute for word...

Fashionable.Most folks try to be “fashionable,’’ depending upon their age, job, friends and other factors. Some want to dress like everyone else, with no desire to be conspicuous. On the other hand, there are those who thrive on being noticed and find a million ways to do so.Designers can’t wait to be the one to introduce a style which quickly becomes a fad. We’ve had bell bottoms, skinny jeans, mini skirts, see-thru gowns, tops cut so low they might as well not be worn at all. Males, too, feel...

Wiscasset’s loss; choices ahead
Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 7:00am
I was glad to hear Superintendent of Schools Heather Wilmot’s upcoming departure had nothing to do with politics. Based on her track record here, I didn't think it would. When talking school needs, she has told town panels she is tenacious, and she was. The school committee kept tacking time onto her stay, into 2022 if her husband’s work hadn't moved. Good call on putting family first, Dr. Wilmot. And thank you for your accessibility and professionalism in dealing with the public, including the...

Back when we were setting up housekeeping on our own, in the early 1960s, most homes had a set of encyclopedias.Growing up, we had access to those in my parents’ home so when a salesman asked us about buying our own, it was an easy sale. Today, they fill up the top shelf of our bookcase, while another shelf holds a set our husband acquired overseas. All they really do today is collect dust. They were once regular references for just about anything we wanted or needed to know. Today, they’re...

There are two things you need to know about newspapers. Newspapers are important to community life and democracy. Always have been.

Religion follows many different paths

There are many types of religions in the world, with most folks convinced that “theirs’’ is the only “real’’ one. Every generation, we’re hopefully getting a bit more tolerant of religious beliefs which differ from our own, but there’s still plenty of intolerance to go arounD.

Frozen in thought is no longer a figure of speech: During the long spell of super cold, if you dared ponder whether you really needed to see while walking or could cover your eyes, as well, you may have found you tarried too long in it and became an ice sculpture.

Most of us have no idea whatsoever what goes on behind closed doors except our own, and generally tend to mind our own business. It’s not a bad philosophy.
