Lyme Time with Paula Jackson Jones
Help! I’ve been bitten by a tick … now what?
Thursday, April 18, 2019 - 7:30am
In deep preparation for our upcoming 5th annual MLDSE conference, I’m re-sharing some very important information that you need to know as we enter into a more active tick season. This is the number one question that I get on a regular basis: help! I’ve been bit by a tick, now what do I do? People who have had a tick encounter struggle to find the next step. It’s easy to become overwhelmed and disoriented by all the information you find on the internet, which is why when people reach out to me,...
Searching for a Snail Kite in Wild America
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 11:00am
For some reason neither of us can remember, we decided recently to reread a classic book about birding and natural history called “Wild America.” The book, written in a unique interweaving set of first-person entries by Roger Tory Peterson and James Fisher, recounts a 100-day trip of 30,000 miles that the two made across Canada and the U.S. in 1953. The two set a new record for the number of species seen in one year in North America, but more importantly, brought to life the adventure of seeing...
Problems with the IRS? Hang on, help is on the way!
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 10:30am
Ben Franklin said it first “... in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” It’s mid-April and the good news is that if you’re reading this, the first of these options doesn’t apply to you. The bad news is that the second does. I grumble my way through tax season and frankly, I’d like to treat the federal government like any other business I might patronize. For example, if I purchase an item and there’s a problem with it, I can return it and get my money back. If...

Cuba
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 10:15am
Last week our younger daughter Morgan and I visited Cuba. For many years I have been interested in the culture and ways of this country where much has been “on hold” since the 1950s. As many people know, I am most interested in the older version of things, especially as I become a bit of an older thing myself. Cuba was amazing! The photo I have included today is a small indication of things we saw and experienced. To select one image from our trip was impossibly difficult. Many times we have...

Easter equals spring
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 9:30am
It is the Easter season. For believers, it is a time for reflection, faith, worship and family. In East Boothbay, many of the faithful will attend a sunrise service at Ocean Point. Somehow, standing on the shore while listening to the readings from the Good Book seems good for the soul. It is not a lavish New York City-style Easter celebration. Somehow, it just feels right to feed the soul and body on an Easter morning. All are invited. One of the region’s iconic figures will not be attending...

Easter leg of lamb
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 7:00am
Sorry folks, I said I was going to make a pasta dish this week … totally forgot it’s Easter Week so I’ve changed it up. I’m cooking up a small leg of lamb, a little over two pounds. Evie and I went shopping in the Rockland area; we both love the Rockland TJ Maxx. As far as we are concerned, it’s the best one in the state. Off Route 90 heading towards Rockland, there’s a butcher shop called Curtis Meats. It’s been years since I’ve been in the butcher shop. Really just wanted to check it out. I’m...

It’ss difficult to imagine anyone who knows more about where people live in the region than Ashley Brown Holloway. Which may have a lot to do with why she is the new Boothbay Harbor postmaster. Ashley has worked in every area post office over the last 14 years and actually was the postmaster for East Boothbay. She was a good choice for the postal service and for us. Ashley's experience, knowledge of the region (she grew up here) and professional mentoring with her predecessor, Lesley Blethen,...

Potato salad with ham
Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 8:30am
With the warmer weather come my favorite things ... salads, all kinds of different ones, pasta salad, mixed green salad and, yes, a wide variety of potato salad. This recipe comes from my mom’s family (Blake side), Jean Reny’s famous potato salad passed down from my Aunt Ruby, who was my Grampy Blake’s sister. When I make this I go big; it’s my hubby’s favorite ... of course, it’s taken me a few years to master it. Richard says I’m there. LOL. Ingredients include six large peeled russets, mayo...

A Rocking Woodcock in Southport
Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 8:00am
We recently received a note from one of our dear readers, Nancy, from Southport about a special bird sighting that she experienced on March 31. This is what she wrote: “I went out on my deck, morning cup of Joe in hand and did my usual perusal of, what I refer to as, the bird playground/ restaurant, on my side lawn. All was fairly unremarkable that morning until I scanned over to the damp, dirt driveway area, just in front of my garage. I looked and looked, trying to determine if I was seeing a...

Ms. P’s ‘alleged’ wardrobe malfunction
Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 7:00am
Last week, a couple of readers called Kevin Burnham, the esteemed editor of the Boothbay Register and Wiscasset Newspaper, wondering what in blazes was up with Ms. Pigette? One complained the Boothbay region icon’s clothes had vanished. Another reader wondered if someone filched her winter outfit? Kevin quickly passed the query on to me. After all, with a local election on the horizon, his plate is full. He has little time to investigate reports that a pig statue holding up a mailbox was “...

Taking Stock of Our “Mindfulness” Maine Birding Big Year
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 11:00am
Regular readers may recall that we have decided to do a “mindfulness birding” Maine Big Year in 2019 to see how many species we can find in the state this calendar year. People who do a competitive Big Year with the hopes of breaking a record usually zip off immediately to try to see any and every rare species that shows up. We are not in that category. That’s where the “mindfulness” part comes in. We’re keeping an eye on bird listerves, Facebook pages, and eBird, but rather than dropping...

I mean, what child isn’t a little reluctant to give up recess time with schoolmates before lunch. I’m not sure what was on the menu, but it was a beautiful spring day with soccer balls and swings flying, woods’ exploring and just plain blowing off steam. Kevin had lunch with the kids. I was...

Grandparents beware: Scam alert
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 10:15am
It started with a morning phone call. “Hi, Poppa. What’cha doing. Are you alone,” the caller asked. To Butch Brewer, a burly retired East Boothbay lobsterman, it sounded like Hannah, his beloved granddaughter — with a cold. She is a junior at the University of Rhode Island studying pharmacy. The caller said she was in Newport and riding to breakfast with a girlfriend. They were in her boyfriend’s car and were stopped by the police who found a couple of pounds of marijuana in the trunk. She was...

Enjoying the outdoors tick-free
Tuesday, April 2, 2019 - 8:30am
As temperatures warm up and ticks become more active, how do we protect ourselves and our loved ones and reduce our fear of spending time outdoors? I spend a lot of time talking to people and I hear a great deal of fear and apprehension about spending time outdoors because of the risk of tick contact. People stop spending time outdoors doing the things that they love all because of the tick encounters that they are having. To that, my question to them is “So, what are you doing to prevent...

We’re Not Gonna Take It
Thursday, March 28, 2019 - 7:00am
When I was composing this week’s article, eighties rock group, Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” came to mind. Allow me to share some lyrics and you’ll see the connection:
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lost it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny '...

Spring with the Sparrows
Wednesday, March 27, 2019 - 10:30am
We awoke on the first day of spring to the thin, quivery whistles of the “Old Sam Peabody” song of one of the two white-throated sparrows that have made it through the entire winter in our yard. The songs were not the strong, perfect version that many of us know as a quintessential sound of summer in Maine, but the melodic voice sent a clear message that there are two reasons to celebrate the day: It was the first day of spring, and, perhaps most importantly to the bird, it was also World...

A very busy woman

On Wednesday, I stopped at the St. Andrews Auxiliary thrift shop to chat with Carol Ostermann. She was in charge of the cash register. “I would like to write about you. Is that OK with you," I asked her. Her smile turned to a pensive frown, and she locked eyes with me. “What are you going to write,” she asked. “Something good,” I replied. Her frown turned into a broad smile, and she said, “Good? OK.” I asked her when would be a good time to have a sit-down chat. And her pensive frown returned...

Anyone who thinks making “the real deal,” genuine maple syrup, is a simple matter should just buy some “Aunt Jemima” at their local grocery store and call it good. As Don Imus once said, “I was born at night, but not last night.” All across the state, Maine Maple Sunday, this past weekend, had sugar shacks producing the good stuff, full-tilt boogie. The sap is running, albeit a bit slower than producers might like. The taps are out, or in, and the golden amber nectar let us all get a taste of a...

Wow, what a busy week; it’s just that time of year. I want to give a big shout out to the Southport Fire Department for letting me be a part of their spring celebration.

What books are stacked on your bedside table now during National Reading Month? And, yes, that includes both the Kindle stored and those checked out of your local library. I’ve just started reading “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman. Yes, I’ve heard it’s a Starz series, but I’m not a member.

Politics Rule #1

This winter has been harsh on us all, so I called Ms. Pigette’s smartphone last week to check on her. But she didn’t want to talk about the weather or even the *&**#**truck drivers who splash her as she stands firm holding up a mailbox on Route 27.

The answer is complicated, and I reminded her the...

Land for Maine’s Future: Protecting Millions of Maine’s Birds
Tuesday, March 19, 2019 - 12:00pm
We were thinking recently about the impact the nearly 600,000 acres of land protected over the years through the Land for Maine’s Future (LMF) program has had on birds. The reason why this popular conservation program has been on our minds is because of the recent announcement to kick-start the program again, which languished for the last eight years under state leadership that refused to fund it, despite voter-approved bonds to do so. Currently, there’s a push for $95 million dollar bond...

Barred Owl Booms and Busts
Wednesday, March 13, 2019 - 11:00am
By all accounts there are many more people seeing barred owls in the last four to six weeks here in Maine this year than in most years. Late winter can be a challenging time for barred owls just about any year, especially if deep snow or crusty or icy conditions make it harder to find and catch mice or other prey. Just about every year there is at least a small spike in numbers of barred owls seen in late February and March, often along roadsides or near backyard bird feeding stations. But this...

The great Maya Angelou once said “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Or did she? I’ve researched where it has been claimed that Maya actually said, “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” So, what is the difference? Tone and attitude. The first quote, while at first glance appears to be a pretty congruent abbreviation of the second, actually conveys a rather self-righteous and condescending tone. In fact, I've...

Let me say right up front that I am not any kind of a bird expert. I enjoy watching them. I love to hear their voices. And, we feed them in the winter. I have even, in my youth, hunted them. Growing up in the hills of central Pennsylvania, my best buddy and I used to hunt on our way to school — mostly for rabbits and the ever elusive, ruffed grouse. We were not very successful hunters. Grouse were particularly challenging and very elusive. They wait until you are practically on top of them...

The Tricks to Counting Chickadees
Wednesday, March 6, 2019 - 7:00am
How many black-capped chickadees do you have coming to your bird feeder? Two or three, some of you may say. Others who watch diligently may have a higher estimate—perhaps 5 to 10? But when ornithologists have started banding chickadees at feeders, they typically discover the number is much higher than any of us imagine. Herb Wilson, an ornithologist at Colby College, conducted an interesting experiment in 1995 that sheds light on this question. Herb placed feeders along a remote stretch of road...

The term, Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), was initially introduced by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) as a research definition.

It also implies without evidence that patients received adequate treatment and that any remaining symptoms are caused by something other than an infection. Sadly, many chronically ill patients...
