  Thu, 08/15/2019 - 7:45am

  

  The August meeting of the Pemaquid Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution took place Aug. 13 at the Lincoln Home in Newcastle. There were nine members, three guests and four associate members present. Cheyenne Travers, age 9, member of CAR (Children of the American Revolution) and granddaughter of associate member, Pat Franz, led those present in reciting the Preamble to the Constitution and The American’s Creed. Nancy Dean led the group in singing “The Star Spangled Banner.” Following...

  Stand By You

  Wed, 08/14/2019 - 3:00pm

  

  Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed, I love to listen to Rachel Platten’s song, “Stand By You.” The lyrics are so supportive for whatever I am going through in that moment, I feel like somewhere, someone is on my side, supporting and rooting for me for a positive outcome. At the same time, assuring me that should the outcome not be positive, they won’t leave my side until the moment passes. Take a listen: Hands, put your empty hands in mine And scars, show me all the scars you hide...

  When Googled, Maungatapere is described as a settlement in Northland, New Zealand. State Highway 14 runs through it. Whangarei is 11 km to the east, and Tangiteroria is 18 km to the southwest. A mountain called Maungatapere with a summit 359 m above sea lever is southwest of the settlement. Kate and Sage Wickline and their folks, Jim and Jen (Elderkin) will be heading back to Maungatapere, New Zealand, next week. It’s a long trip. Train to Boston. Flight from Boston to Chicago, then over the...

  Turkey Vulture Surprise

  Wed, 08/14/2019 - 8:15am

  

  While at a recent event, we met a wonderful family who, when they discovered our interest in all things avian, shared with us some of their bird stories. One of these was about finding, here in Maine, a turkey vulture nesting in an old barn. They told of how the adult birds and the nestlings would hiss if they came near and eventually would regurgitate a smelly, half-digested meal. All of this, probably quite obviously, is to attempt to drive off potential predators. We have never had the good...

  Mama D’s omelet

  I’m so excited to be on my new adventure … breakfast. Yes, I’m traveling around to some of my favorite places. I’m on vacation this week and so is my very dear friend Kris Hepburn. Now there is no special order that I’m dinning in. Mama D’s came to mind so I texted Kris up and said let’s go ... she was on board. Lorie and Noel have been friends of mine for many years – good people all around. All three of my girls have worked for them; the twinners still do. Lorie has been good to all three of...

  Wed, 08/07/2019 - 10:45am

  

  Wow, I can’t help but love this beautiful weather we’ve been having. Get out in it, LOL. I told you all I was going to find more tuna but it didn’t happen. I was going to Pinkham’s to get a fresh piece of tuna but they were sold out. All was not lost, however. I’m not sure about anyone else but halibut is my most favorite fish ever, so that’s what’s cooking in my kitchen this week. First, I want to apologize to Trudy Mayhew. I saw her Saturday morning at Hannaford and told her I was going to...

  Advocate Don't Aggravate

  Wed, 08/07/2019 - 10:00am

  What an odd title for a column about ticks and tick-borne disease. Or is it? It’s a part of my daily existence. As an advocate, I am always supporting people who have been affected by a tick bite or whose lives have been negatively altered by tick-borne disease. And one would think, that after years of public awareness about the growing tick population, that medically speaking, we as patients, would all be on the same page, getting the best possible care, with resources supporting us as we...

  I don't claim to be a writer. I have known quite a few writers and they are well educated, smart and disciplined. I have been disciplined, but it’s usually for being a bad boy! I prefer to think of myself as a describer, sharing things that interest me, people I know and stuff that I've done over the 40+ years of our lives here. There have been plenty of opportunities to accumulate material. Wonderful people. Fascinating adventures. Still in all, I never quite know what the next adventure will...

  Maine has Nesting Cranes?

  Wed, 08/07/2019 - 8:00am

  

  Sandhill cranes are imposing birds, one of Maine’s largest, as we wrote about here a few years back. We remember the first ones we ever saw in the state back in the 1980s. One was a bird that stalked around Scarborough Marsh, typically pretty far away and distorted by heat waves. Sometimes it looked like a blurry image of a person walking with an odd, lurching gait. One of the most striking memories of our early Maine crane sightings happened one evening on the Kennebunk Plains when we were...

  On Sunday, Aug. 18, my all-time favorite Boothbay event will take place for the eighth time. It is “Set for Success.” It is an opportunity for more than 300 schoolkids to pick up school supplies for the coming year. The good news is there is no cost to the children or their parents. All they have to do is show up at the “Y.” This year, there will be a free barbecue where the chief chef is none other than Keith Laser, the superintendent of schools. They will get a new backpack, writing supplies...

  Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged

  Wed, 07/31/2019 - 3:15pm

  I read online recently that our culture often times uses Matthew 7:1 “Judge not lest ye be judged” to promote a tolerance that often encourages acceptance of behaviors otherwise forbidden. We have an expectation that is not met or fulfilled by another and so we judge, we criticize and at times, punish or condemn. It’s like having faith. Faith is what you believe, not what someone tells you. There are many different religions who all believe that theirs is the “know all end all” religion that...

  Hummingbird Stories

  Wed, 07/31/2019 - 11:00am

  

  Just this past week, Jeff’s mom and younger brother asked us questions about ruby-throated hummingbirds. The brother (let’s call him YB, for “younger brother”) recounted the odd and sad story of finding a dead hummingbird with its beak stuck in the screen of his garage window. He wondered how it could have happened and also whether the bird was a male or a female. We told him that female hummingbirds in spring collect pieces of spider web to use to make their nests and that could have accounted...

OK, I love when people come up to me and tell me they read my column and just love the “quote” from Peggy Stover, a very dear friend.

  “Where's the beef?” Silly bird! I know I have mentioned many times the wonderful photographic coincidences encountered while doing non-photographic things. Carrying a camera with me when out and about is pretty much standard operating procedure. In fact, after all these years of work with cameras, I feel a bit unsettled without a lens. Has sort of become an acquired appendage. So our daughter Mae landed home for a quick visit, and some of our family from Pennsylvania was in town for much...

  We lose a good friend

  Wed, 07/31/2019 - 8:30am

  

  When you drive past Ms. Pigette on Route 27 this week, you will notice she is no longer wearing her cute summer tennis outfit. Despite the heat and humidity, she is dressed in black from head to toe, ‘er hoof to snout. Her mailbox is black, too. If you take a closer look, you might notice a tear coming from her right eye. “I lost one of my best pals,” she told me when I stopped to check on her. “It was Alice, you know. My longtime dresser, Alice Larrabee died last Wednesday. She lived right...

  “Rise and Shine for America” is the new theme of the incoming President General, Denise VanBuren’s national Administration in Washington, D.C. The July meeting took place at the Lincoln Home library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 9. Barbara Belknap represented the Chapter and gave a review of the Continental Congress she attended in June in Washington, D.C. One of the highlights of her talk was recognition of “The Hello Girls.” These women who were telephone operators were flown to Europe...

  Knowing what I have been exposed to

  Wed, 07/24/2019 - 1:00pm

  

  Tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia Miyamotoi), Anaplasmosis, Babesia, Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, Relapsing Fever, Alpha Gal, Erlichiosis, Powassan, Tularemia, Tick Paralysis are all here in Maine and are transmitted primarily through the bit of a deer tick, dog tick or lonestar tick. Less than 40% of those infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (aka Lyme Disease) will get what appears to be the classic “bulls-eye” rash. The other tick-borne disease will not...

  It’s amazing how a vastly different world can be so close to us but, for the most part, largely invisible. Invisible, that is, until you hop on a boat. We joined more than a hundred other people on a gorgeous summer evening last week to do just that. The famed Hardy Boat, owned and operated by Al and Stacie Crocetti, departed from the dock in New Harbor (next to the popular Shaw’s Fish and Lobster Wharf Restaurant) at 7 pm and took us to what almost seems like an other-worldly place.

  Wed, 07/24/2019 - 9:30am

  

  So consider this. Your kitchen is a small wooden building at the side of a busy state road with perfectly lovely out in the open exposure to everything. The temperature outside is pushing 90 (maybe higher in the direct sun) and the humidity is creeping. Hungry people love your historic foods and form a line in anticipation. Nope! It's not “Red's Eats,” although you might have trouble crossing the street as traffi blows by in search of God knows what. And not every driver knows to stop for...

  A modest proposal

  Wed, 07/24/2019 - 9:00am

  

  For years, we all have heard predictions from scientists, pseudo-scientists, and folks who sort of read something about science, that the end is near. Climate change is changing the planet, and we must do something before it is too late. They remind me of the children's tale: "Ducky Lucky told Henny Penny who told Chicken Little that the sky is falling." While I understand their message, I don't want to think about climate change because, frankly, there is nothing I can do about it. It is a...

  On March 31, 2017, my very first column was published in the Lincoln County News. This platform for sharing information and educating the public on tick-borne disease prevention and safety tips as well as being a resource for patients and their families to get the help that they needed took off and has yet to slow down.

• Mental potato chips

  Wed, 07/17/2019 - 3:00pm

  

  What is it about potato chips that makes them so irresistible? Could be the crunch. Could be the salty tang. Could be that they are easy to eat. Or, could be that potato chips are designed to be all that. According to experts, back in Neanderthal days, we needed sugar, fat and salt just to stay alive so through the millennia, evolution programmed us to love foods that have one or more of those qualities. To make sure that potato chips are irresistible to our cave dweller brains, manufacturers...

  Anyone here in Maine spending tie outside and paying attention to birds over the last two weeks knows that things are topsy-turvy right now. We and many others have been seeing and reporting yards hopping with the activity of newly fledged young birds. Our yard has been filled with the almost constant chattering of a family of house wrens, a bird we devoted a column to earlier this summer . We hear young crows begging and making their off-key cawing around the neighborhood. At a friend’s place...

  Bold, colorful, absorbing: The art of David Estey

  Wed, 07/17/2019 - 9:30am

  

  Twenty-five. There are 25 journeys to be taken through the paintings of Belfast-based artist David Estey at Studio 53 Fine Art through July 28. The works were created between 2015 and 2019. Many have never been shown before. Right up front I’ve gotta say, I love David’s work. And he and his wife Karen are great people. When I wrote the feature on his 65-year retrospective at Studio 53 three years ago I felt like I really got to know this artist … the interview must’ve been a good two hours. I...

  As we move into these hot days of summer, the chorus of singing birds begins to change and become less robust. There are still the robins and song sparrows caroling in the morning and the chatter of goldfinches throughout the day. Of course, the red-eyed vireos— “preacher birds,” as we’ve featured in a previous column —will continue singing even when the sun is baking us and every other bird is silent. Northern mockingbirds are another bird that sings when many other birds have gone silent...

  In last week’s column, we described our Father’s Day trek to the Orono Bog, in an unsuccessful search for a Lincoln’s sparrow as we continue our Maine mindfulness Big Year.
