Lyme Time with Paula Jackson Jones
How Do You Like Me Now?
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - 3:15pm
The term, Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), was initially introduced by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) as a research definition. However, it has been conflated with clinical diagnosis, and has been used to deny Lyme patients the diagnosis and treatment they need to get well. 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...

Mindfulness Birding: Our Maine Big Year
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - 2:00pm
Mindfulness birding. That’s how we are describing the Maine Big Year we have decided to try to do in 2019. If you never saw the movie “The Big Year” then you may not know that the premise of a “Big Year” in birding is that you try to see how many different species of bird you can find within a particular geographic area in one calendar year. In the movie, three avid birders, portrayed by Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson, compete to see the most species in the U.S. within a year. Based...
Where It’s At ... The human form
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - 1:45pm
Artists have been painting, drawing and sculpting the human form for centuries. Why? Michelangelo said, “He who does not master the nude cannot understand the principles of architecture.” Auguste Rodin: “The body always expresses the spirit whose envelope it is. And for him who can see, the nude offers the richest meaning.” Leonardo da Vinci: “O painter skilled in anatomy, beware lest the undue prominence of the bones, sinews and muscles cause you to become a wooden painter from the desire to...

The car
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - 10:15am
Now I'm going to show off a little of my new found nautical knowledge. The “car,” as I have come to learn from my times photographing with the gang on the
Ernestina-Morrissey
and
Bowdoin
projects at Boothbay Harbor Shipyard, is the name of the device upon which a vessel “rides” as it is winched up a railway toward “the hard.” It is essentially a platform made out of wood and steel which accommodates boats of many shapes through adjusting supports, blocking and lines. I was...

Dear Governor Janet Mills
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - 10:00am
Dear Governor, I know you just moved into your new job, and have a lot on your plate, what with the Legislature and all that entails. We all know it is a big job with lots of responsibilities and expectations. Seems there are lots of folks who expect you to wave a magic wand and solve all the problems in the Great State of Maine. Most of us old geezers know better. We have seen the “Committee To Do This,” and “Citizens United Against That,” raise an uproar, get lots of TV air time, but we see...

Hope everyone is enjoying February vacation week. Thank you to all teachers and staff. If you’re lucky enough to be in a warmer climate, I hope you’re sucking up some well-deserved vitamin C. If you’re home in our awesome little town, if you haven’t heard, it’s tourney time. Wishing both our boys and girls the best of luck in Augusta. Go big blue!

The monthly meeting of the Pemaquid Chapter of the DAR, Daughters of the American Revolution was called to order at 11:10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12 in the Library of the Lincoln Home in Newcastle.

Maine and Lincoln County Urged to Bird Hard for Great Backyard Bird Count
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 11:00am
We birders are always looking for an excuse to do more birding. This is true even in the cold midwinter, at least up here in Maine. So you might be delighted to know that the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) starts on Friday, Feb. 15 and runs through Monday, Feb. 18. When the GBBC started (last year, we remembered its birth in 1998 in a previous column ), it was set up to encourage people to submit their counts of birds from the U.S. and Canada. Today, counts can be submitted from anywhere in...

Schools face major challenges
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 9:45am
It is no secret that declining school enrollments are forcing educators to embrace changes that would have been heresy in years past. For example, the Maine Principals Association has unveiled a new athletic conference for smaller high schools, Boothbay included. Next season, they will field eight-man football teams. Here in Boothbay, we have just 480 pupils enrolled in two buildings designed to serve some 900 pupils. Last May, when our local elected school officials hired Keith Laser to be...

Sometimes its a little challenging to gather information about people. I mean, good, clear important stuff that can be shared safely. It’s easy to slip up and generally likely that someone will manage to challenge what little I know, or innocently suggest, about many who live here in our wonderful corner of the world. Such has not been the case with Harry Pinkham — at least to the best of my knowledge. Harry seems to have given a ton to his home community in so many ways, that it’s difficult to...

If you are struggling and feeling hopeless, please read this. I just got off the phone with a 29-year-old woman who has two young children and lives in the state of Maine. I have never met this woman before and she has never crossed paths with my organization or attended any of our events.

A while ago there was a very funny YouTube clip making the rounds. It showed a teenager trying to use a rotary dial phone but the young man had no clue how to use the equipment.

Homemade nachos with a pineapple salsa
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 8:30am
First, I want to congratulate The Patriots. Super Bowl win #6; not a very exciting game but a slow boring game win is better than a pretty loss. What did everyone make for the game? I went to a couple of pre-game parties and tasted some incredible guacamole, short ribs, tenderloin and the best dips. My husband and I watched the game at home. But, before I left to go to the pre-game bashes, I started building my own little pile of nachos and a pineapple and cucumber salsa. Nachos are awesome...

Seats
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 8:00am
In elementary school classrooms, we used wooden chairs that were fastened to the floor. On the back metal frame of the seat, a simple flat wooden board created the desktop for the next seat behind. The desk top had a small channel for pencils at the top and a hole for an ink well. In sixth grade we received penmanship instructions every day using a fountain pen. The “Palmer” method, as I recall. Otherwise known by me as “round-round ready write” madness! Our seats were in place for years. Who...
A Salute to Our Great Black Hawk
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 7:45am
The bird didn’t know it was special, but hundreds of people who traveled to see it — and the millions more who heard about it in the news — sure did. It didn’t know that thousands of photos of it were taken while it tore chunks of meat from squirrels in Portland’s Deering Oaks park. The great black hawk that improbably found its way to Maine, and stayed here into the frigid northern winter when the rest of its kind were in warm tropical climes no farther north than Mexico, became a celebrity...

Ticks do not die in winter
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 1:00pm
“Just last week, I saw a patient with an adult deer tick embedded in their lower back” said one of the Midcoast Lyme literate medical providers. “We removed the tick and sent it off to Tickreport.com for a full analysis of any pathogens. My patient was very shocked to discover a tick embedded in their back this time of year.” I think many are of this same mindset, thinking that ticks either die off or are not a threat during the winter months. But there are many organizations that are still...

Ahhh fairy tales … man they sure could scare the bejesus out of you! Especially the ones by those Grimm Brothers … And yet, as a kid I couldn’t stop reading them and I’ll bet many of you out there couldn’t either. Charles Perrault, the Grimms, Hans Christian Andersen … I loved them all … And so do/did millions upon millions of others.

A Brief History of Bird Feeding
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 10:30am
February is National Wild Bird Feeding Month, and chances are you celebrating—sort of, if you, like us, are among the 50 million Americans who maintain wild birder feeders. What a great way to watch wild birds for prolonged periods of time, up close! No wonder someone came up with a way to celebrate this hugely popular activity. When a congressman from Illinois introduced a declaration into the congressional record in 1994 to establish National Wild Bird Feeding Month, it was probably more or...

Winter thoughts
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 9:30am
Last week, the biting wind and slippery ice forced our early morning walking group (OFEBB - no website, no twitter or Instagram — get over it) to play hooky for two days. Keith Carson tells us something called the polar vortex has shifted, and we can anticipate lots of cold, wind and snow. Now, polar vortex sounds like something evil, like a wraith (sorry, look it up) appearing from behind a darkened castle wall during an episode of “Game of Thrones.” But, no, it is just a cool name for the...

I have put off that project for years but the recent perfect storm of deep cold and torrential rain enlightened me and also threatened the hot water heater and the furnace. With frozen ground, water runs fast down the back hill and floods into the basement . The sump pump didn't pump out enough, and some times the...

I’m writing about doing my part for our local Coast Guard Station.

A special church supper

Last Saturday night, a couple hundred of your friends and neighbors gathered together for a hometown church supper. It was advertised to begin at 5 p.m., and of course, at 4:30, folks started walking through the basement door of the Congregational Church. No one counted the number of dinner guests. No one required them to pay. As they came in, a pair of ladies sat at a card table greeting them with big smiles as they glanced at a glass jar that quickly filled up with cash and checks.

Allan Walton did not start painting until he was almost five years old! He grew up in Dixfield Maine. He probably didn’t know then that art would become the focus of most things he did, and he has done many things. We met Allan and his wife Barbara (Muise) around 1978. At that time, Marty Lakeman lived on McKown Street across the alley from the Merry Music Box, just up from Arthur Barlow’s garage, which is now “Ports of Italy” restaurant. Marty shared the duplex house. Emerson and Sarah Webster...
The Odd Duck
Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - 7:45am
We’ve always thought that the canvasback was one well-named duck. The male canvasback does indeed look as if it has a piece of new, white canvas draped across its back. The white back provides a gorgeous contrast to its rusty-red head and distinctive long-sloping head profile. And somehow describing the color of the back of a water-loving bird with a word normally used to describe a kind of fabric that is often used in boats, makes it even more fittingly unique. With a recent sliver of...

With freezing temperatures and frigid wind chills, thinking about ticks, tick-borne disease or even prevention isn’t something on most people’s minds.
