Lyme Time with Paula Jackson Jones
Find us at the Union Fair
Wednesday, August 15, 2018 - 10:15am
We are preparing for a very busy week ahead, when we will be spending the entire week at the Union Fair (Aug 18-25), educating fair goers about ticks in Maine, the diseases that they carry and how “prevention is key to staying tick-free.” This will be our fourth year at the Union Fair and we have a great corner booth inside the Exhibition Hall. You can find us there every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We enjoy engaging with the community and helping them to understand what is happening here in...
To Brazil and Back: Nighthawk Migration Revealed
Wednesday, August 15, 2018 - 9:15am
We haven’t seen one yet this fall, but a few people in Maine have noted the first pulses of southbound, migrating common nighthawks. Based on checklists submitted to eBird, Maine should expect peak numbers within the next two weeks. Common nighthawks were once relatively common breeders in many Maine cities and towns, nesting on the flat, tar and loose gravel-topped roofs that were the norm back then. Today, these birds have disappeared from most Maine cities and towns, but small numbers nest...

Jolly and Laura
Wednesday, August 15, 2018 - 9:00am
Sometimes when you step into somebody's home there is an instant feeling of calm. It was easy for me to sit down and relax with Jolly and Laura. In many ways I felt like I was visiting family. Odd, I guess. But, it was as if I had known these two folks all my life and I was just popping in to say hi. In truth, I had never been inside their house. I think it was the salt and pepper shakers that did it. And, maybe the fact the Jolly offered me a “Moxie” even before I sat down. We had a great...

Ms. Pigette and fake news
Wednesday, August 15, 2018 - 8:45am
I got a text message from Ms. Pigette last week inviting me over for a drink. I knew she wanted something. And, if she invited me over for a drink, it might be serious. So, the other day, after taking out the trash and picking up the mail, I meandered down Route 27 to the spot where she holds up a mailbox. “Thank God. Where have you been,” she said. “I messaged you two or three days ago. Don’t you look at your phone? Or are you too old and can’t remember how to work the darn thing.” “I invited...

Having “The Talk” with your children
Tuesday, August 14, 2018 - 3:00pm
Is it time to have the talk with your child? And we don’t mean the one about where babies come from. We mean the talk about computer safety. The start of a new school year is as good a time as any to make sure that your child or grandchild understands that computers are great but the internet can also be a dangerous place for kids. (Heck, it can be a dangerous place for adults, too.) The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has some excellent advice for parents about computers and...

Tax conformity
Tuesday, August 14, 2018 - 8:45am
Before I dive into legislative matters, I would like to start by saying that I hope you are all enjoying your summers and making the most of what Vacationland has to offer. Although this has been an extremely humid summer, it’s hard to believe that we are already well into fair season with the Union and Windsor Fairs just around the corner. It’s also hard to believe that the federal government passed a sweeping overhaul of the tax code last December and our bill to conform Maine’s tax code is...

Leftovers ...
Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - 9:30am
Before I sat down to write this missive, I opened my notebook and found a few items left over from last week’s trip to Washington, D.C. I thought I would share them with you. On a blistering hot Friday morning, we took John Druce on a tour of the military monuments. At the World War II memorial fountain, a group of teenaged girls cooled their feet in the water. A pair of mallards were perched on the fountain’s spillway doing the same thing. I stopped a workman who was picking up trash and asked...

Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - 9:00am
About ten years ago I was asked by the McWhan family (longtime summer residents) of Pratts Island Road on Southport, if I would be willing to do some family photos with them at their home. I had photographed with the family before and was pleased to be invited back. Nothing like reconnecting with families from years gone by. It’s always fun to meet new additions and catch up with everyone. Part of my visit with the McWhans involved photos with their son, David, his wife and family. During my...

Why Do Some Bird Species Sing More Than Others?
Tuesday, August 7, 2018 - 8:45am
We often describe singing as a behavior that is done to establish and hold a territory against other individuals of the same species and/or to attract a mate and maintain the bond with that mate. So why, then, do red-eyed vireos sing 10,000 to 20,000 songs a day? Why do we hear singing red-eyed vireos from May, when they arrive from their South American wintering grounds, through the hot days of summer and into August, when virtually all other birds have stopped singing? Why do we hear northern...

The Bird Days of Summer
Wednesday, August 1, 2018 - 10:30am
Yes, we know. The phrase “dog days of summer” came from the ancient Greeks noticing that the Dog Star rose just before the sun from July through early August. They considered that period one of the hottest times of the year and a period when one might be beset with illness or other woes. Today we seem to think of this typically hot and sultry time in a similar fashion even if few people know what dogs have to do with it. Birders, too, may feel as though this time of year is not one offering...

A Marine remembers
Wednesday, August 1, 2018 - 9:15am
Last weekend, John Druce drew a line through one of the big items on his “bucket list.” Like with a lot of super seniors, memories of his younger days seem to elbow into his dreams. Friends and neighbors think of him as the smiling hotelier, civic leader and faithful caregiver of his wife of 70 years. Few know he served his country during World War II as a U.S. Marine in the South Pacific. When old Marines gather, he would spin a few “sea stories” about the island campaigns. When others...

Why can’t my doctor help me?
Wednesday, August 1, 2018 - 7:00am
This is one of the more prominent conversations that I have with people every day of every week and there are many variables that play into the answer. The most common variable as to why a provider is unable to help someone, either get properly diagnosed or treated until they are better, is that they are following outdated guidelines and antiquated protocols. Trying to treat a patient in 2018 who is chronically ill from a tick bite, who has been ill for some time with guidelines previously...
Where It’s At ... Boothbay Harbor Region Sculpture Trail
Tuesday, July 31, 2018 - 2:00pm
My one and only trip out west, in February of 1995 to Utah (the Tuscon/Bisbee/Phoenix areas of Arizona were also part of the trip), introduced me to some awe-inspiring rock formations at Canyonlands and Arches National Park. Sculpted by Mother Nature, those sandstone arches and rocks alternately made me feel like I was on the set of a science fiction film or that I had indeed been transported to another planet. And those of you who’ve been there know what I mean. Arches is aces for one’s...

Two wonderful women
Wednesday, July 25, 2018 - 8:45am
Last week was a tough one. No, it had nothing to do with the national news, although those political events were bad or confusing, depending on your point of view. The week began with the death of an old friend, Mary Dodge Brewer, the retired editor of the Boothbay Register. It ended with the funeral of another, Shirley Jameson. In a world where the news seemed to swirl out of control, the memories of both women brought me back to reality. Mary was a local, although she claimed she was not, for...

Legs of Yellow
Wednesday, July 25, 2018 - 7:45am
There are few birds so well named as the two species of long-legged sandpipers called the “yellowlegs.” Their bright yellow legs are indeed a feature that is particularly noticeable given their otherwise gray and white plumage. Fitting nicely into what we would expect from the rest of their names, the larger of the two species is called the greater yellowlegs and the smaller, the lesser yellowlegs. Both species of yellowlegs are among a small set of birds of the sandpiper family that nest south...

Tick bites and rashes
Tuesday, July 24, 2018 - 10:00am
“But I never saw a tick” and “I never got a bullseye rash” are two very common comments I get when I talk to people who tested positive for a tick-borne disease. So why is that? The most simple and straight forward answer would be that most tick-borne diseases are transmitted by ticks in the nymph stage, which are no larger than a poppy seed and not all tick-borne diseases produce the bullseye rash, in fact most do not. The Maine CDC has previously reported that over 50 percent of all ticks in...

The gridlock in Augusta, unfortunately, shows no sign of breaking, and I’m sorry to report that the legislature has still not wrapped up its work that was supposed to conclude back in April due to disagreements over several issues. We were called back in for a special session in June to take care of matters left unfinished when the legislature abruptly adjourned in April. Since then we have been back in Augusta several times, and here it is mid-July, and there’s still no telling when the 128th...
Searching for an old (bird) friend on the edge
Wednesday, July 18, 2018 - 11:30am
This past weekend we stopped at one of four avorite old familiar birding haunts in central Maine, a place known locally as “the Waugon” in Monmouth. We have been visiting the site for at least 30 years (a review of our records may find it’s been even longer). There Waugon is a spot where a stream flows into the west side of Annabessacook Lake, draining from Wilson Pond. From Wilson Pond it would have been a relatively short distance to carry a canoe into Androscoggin Lake. Indeed the indigenous...

When I was a kid, my sisters and folks and I would visit our grandparents (Mother's parents) in Springville, New York, in the western part of the state, a little village south of Buffalo. Grandma and Grampa had a small farm along Cattaraugus Creek with rich lowland soils perfect for gardening. Our Aunt Marge and Uncle Jim grew the most delicious vegetables. I can still remember the melons that would melt in your mouth. Grampa kept bees. And one of the biggest thrills of every visit was when he...

Did you stop over at Oak Point on Saturday? It was the official opening day for the latest preserve to come under the wing of the Boothbay Region Land Trust. If you were there, you would have seen a stunning 32-acre parcel that has been a saltwater farm since the late 1600s. Standing at the edge of the parking lot, located off Samoset Road, you would have enjoyed a broad meadow sweeping down to the Townsend Gut and Hodgdon Cove. You would have seen walking trails snaking along the shore,...

Monday, July 16, 2018 - 8:45am
Unfortunately, it is time for another warning about children and identity theft. Javelin Research recently published the results of a survey of 5,000 people that was conducted online during August and September of last year. Not surprisingly, the numbers show that children are victims of identity theft, too. And their number is increasing. The survey showed that more than a million children were victims, resulting in costs of more than $540 million to their families. Economic losses associated...

As the summer visitors (and locals, too) learned how to use the Route 27 roundabout without getting into a swivet, I thought it might be time to stop for a chat with Ms. Pigette. You know her, she holds up a mailbox across the street from Joan Rittal, where she keeps a sharp eye on local affairs. As such, she is an authority on all things political. As I stepped out of my little car, she had just finished wiping the sweat from her snout. “I am just happy. Winter is gone, the roundabout is...

Maine’s Rarest Swallow
Wednesday, July 11, 2018 - 8:15am
We have written before about the decline of swallows and other birds that eat insects that they catch in flight. Species like barn swallows, cliff swallows and tree swallows are well known to most people because they typically nest near us humans, on buildings or in nest boxes. Purple martins are in that category as well but are found in only a few places around the state where they nest in large, specially built, multi-holed martin houses. There are two additional swallow species that nest in...

Tuesday, July 3, 2018 - 6:00pm
The belted kingfisher is a distinctive bird: large head topped with a shaggy crest; thick black bill; comparatively short tail. Now add in the fact that it often sits conspicuously on a wide open perch where even in shadow its silhouette reveals its identity. And rattling call it gives that can be heard from some distance. All of this makes the belted kingfisher a fascinating bird and a favorite of many people, some of whom may know few other bird species. Here in Maine we have only a single...

With Lyme, Anaplasmosis and Babesia on the rise here in Maine and three past reported cases of Powassan in the Midcoast region, how are we to know and understand what tick-borne diseases we have (potentially) been exposed to if we don’t become symptomatic right away (if at all) and the classic “bulls eye rash” doesn’t appear? We’re probably safe, right? Wrong! A 2015 field surveillance done by researchers from Maine Medical Research Institute, found that over 50 percent of Maine’s tick...

This is the number one question that I get on a regular basis, via phone call, email and in person. 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, I give them options. Bringing down the fear factor is my main concern and giving people options gives them back control over their own health concerns, a potentially unnerving situation. The...

We were taking a walk in our neighborhood recently just as dusk was approaching. At the beginning of the walk we heard a chipping sparrow trill; a northern cardinal gave its repeated whistled notes, and a mourning dove its gentle, low “who, who, who.” But as it got darker, each of these bird sounds faded away and disappeared. Almost in the blink of an eye, all that was left was the songs of robins echoing around the yards and streets. The songs included the regular, caroling sing-song we’re all...

Okay, this is it. My last column in the Boothbay Register. Kind of a good thing, kind of a sad thing.

Ain’t that the truth. It began like this: “I love food. I have an obsession with food and anything food-related. From the time I wake up...
