Lyme Time with Paula Jackson Jones
It’s the final countdown
Monday, April 22, 2019 - 4:45pm
This Friday, April 26th, my organization will be hosting our 5th Annual Midcoast Lyme Disease Support & Education conference at the Augusta Civic Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Doors will open at 7 a.m. for registration. Admission is free. This is by far one of the most important events we host every year. We quickly outgrew the Wiscasset Community Center by year three. Last year, we had just under 900 in attendance. People from all over the U.S. and Canada came. They came to be connected to...
Boothbay Harbor Rotary Club
Monday, April 22, 2019 - 2:30pm
Still waters run deep Rotary enjoyed the life stories of two newer members of Rotary Russell Pinkham was the first. Born in Boothbay Harbor, Russell has fishing in his genes. His interest in Rotary’s commitment to expanding vocational opportunities for our high school students runs deep. Like others here, a younger Russell wanted to be on the water and completed a vocational course in boating. His first fishing experience of seven years was on a boat with Cyrus C. Lauriat. Off to Alaska he went...
Out Of Our Past
Taming the Big Hills
Monday, April 22, 2019 - 11:45am
Lobster Cove is a classically desirable location: a narrow shallow inlet draining a large swampy marsh area. How large? A topographical map shows the area drained extending to the Kenniston Hill area at Boothbay Center. Boothbay's wells were embedded in this huge sponge, as well as some gravel pits, at least Larrabee’s, Beath's, and Elbridge Giles’. The swampy waterway has traditionally been called the Meadow Brook. The Meadow Brook controlled part of Boothbay, at least whether it was under or...

As has been reported a number of times, the Mission Act of 2018 will go into effect on 6 June 2019. While the Mission Act will provide more access to community care paid by the VA and will expand care giver support to all veterans, it is not without controversy. The issue is that there are some in the political community that would like to privatize the VA, in other words, eliminate the VA healthcare (VHA) system. Most all, if not all, the veteran service organizations, including the American...

Help! I’ve been bitten by a tick … now what?
Thursday, April 18, 2019 - 8:30am
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 - 10:30am
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 - 10:00am
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...

Easter leg of lamb
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 8:00am
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...

Easter equals spring
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 7:45am
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...

Cuba
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 - 7:30am
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...
Knights of Pythias
Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 12:00pm
Greetings from the Knights of Pythias Boothbay Lodge #32. We are happy to announce we have brought in three new members and wish to welcome them into our lodge. Almon Morton, Chris Greenleaf and Edwin Morton completed the last rank of Knight on Monday, April 15. Monday’s meeting also included a ham dinner put on by the lodge to welcome them in. Also in attendance was a few members from other lodges around the state. We will still be holding our Monday night meetings until June when we will...
Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club
Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 11:00am
It’s hard to believe that the middle of April is upon us. The torrential downpour early this morning washed away the long lingering tenacious snow. Spring is aching to start while temperatures hover in the mid-50s. My mother would have said “Spring is coming … But then so is Christmas.” Heaven forbid. This Thursday marks the last Thursday Cocktails in the Boothbay Harbor One Design Room for the winter. It will be hosted By Dale and Ida Lancaster. Thursdays in May will have us returning to the...

Southport Column: A big nest of news
Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 8:00am
We will begin by updating last week’s news. First on the removal of Mazie's, the osprey’s nest. Paul Merrill, the Maine Office of Transportation’s (DOT) public information officer, says that the nest was removed because engineers were there to do planning work for repairs scheduled for March 2022. Also they needed to do some work on the bridge because it was “hit recently.” Since no eggs were yet in the nest, the workmen were allowed to remove it. Although Mr. Merrill was confident that Mazie...
American Legion Post 36
Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 7:15am
The Induction Ceremony scheduled on April 8 for all new Legion members was postponed due to the weather. This ceremony will now be held at our next meeting May 13. The good news is that we will likely have a few more new members to be officially brought into the Legion. This ceremony will remind all members why you joined the Legion; so, if you haven’t been to a meeting in a while, this would be a great meeting to attend. We will also be nominating and electing officers at the May meeting. Any...
Boothbay Harbor Rotary Club
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 1:00pm
The place to be last Thursday night was the American Legion Hall for the 23rd Soup Bowl Supper organized by the Rotary Club and supporting the educational projects of the Watershed Center for the Arts and Rebuilding Together. Over 200 people were on hand to celebrate the end of winter (let’s hope!), share camaraderie and enjoy their selection of soups, chowders and stews prepared by the Region’s best chefs. We couldn’t do it without the ongoing support of numerous local restaurants and chefs,...
Boothbay Region Lions Club
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 11:15am
The Boothbay Region Lions Club met April 10. Elwin Guthrie was our guest. He has been working with the Census Bureau for many years and will be involved in our area for the upcoming U.S. census in 2020. He explained that the census is very important for state representation in Congress and also for taxation and receiving federal funds. There are seven teams in the state of Maine, and around 1,000 people will be recruited to carry out the census. He gave us information for applying for jobs to...

Ashley
Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 8:30am
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,...
A Bird’s Tale
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...

Potato salad with ham
Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 7:15am
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...

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 “...
Ocean Point Column: Seasonal water, new AD and more
Tuesday, April 9, 2019 - 1:30pm
We’ve just returned from a quick overnight to Ocean Point and I’m happy to report that all appeared great! When the BRWD announced recently on their website that they would begin the process of preparing for seasonal water turn on, we couldn’t resist the urge to return to Ocean Point, if only briefly. Thank you to the BRWD for all of their efforts in preparing to get seasonal water on, we so appreciate their hard work. Please check their website often for the latest updates. Despite the fact...

Tuesday, April 9, 2019 - 12:30pm
A lot has been going on around BHYC for the past two weeks. The last week in March found 40 some hearty revelers in New Orleans for our Winter Reunion. Jeff and Ella Long and Walter and Martha Weil stepped up robustly for the intricate planning of a seamless dip into The Big Easy. It was a wonderful escape from mud season. Few states can claim 5 seasons … spring, summer, fall, winter and mud season. Mother Nature is messing with us as I write Monday. An April snow is flocking our town once...
Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library
Tuesday, April 9, 2019 - 12:00pm
“April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”
These are the opening lines of T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land,” which I quote not because April is National Poetry Month (though it is), but because I’m writing this in the midst of an April blizzard (practically) and it just feels cruel. More snow is on the way for Wednesday too. Sigh. Well, the heat’s on at the library. Come...
Southport Column: DOT and the nest, Ship Ahoy and more
Tuesday, April 9, 2019 - 10:00am
Last Thursday demolition took place on the Southport Bridge that many of us find upsetting. The Maine Department of Transportation, which I am sure has plenty of pot holes to fill, and I know has plenty of rickety bridges to repair, chose to send a lift trunk with a bucket in which a worker could reach to top of the bridge and to remove Mazie, the osprey’s, nest. Last year Mazie returned on April 9, so perhaps by now she has learned the sad news and will have to decide whether to rebuild or to...

On Friday, April 26, we are hosting our fifth annual Midcoast Lyme Disease Support & Education conference at the Augusta Civic Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Doors open at 7 a.m. for registration and admission is free. That’s right ... Admission is free!

Taking Stock of Our “Mindfulness” Maine Birding Big Year
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 10:15am
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...

Grandparents beware: Scam alert
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 8:15am
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...

Ella and Kayla love their Papa. And Kevin feels the same way about his two charming granddaughters. They all piled in for this photo without a moment’s hesitation — well, some gentle encouragement, maybe. 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...

The Passenger Boat Association and Captain Ross Dickson, Part III
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 7:00am
This is the last of Jean Chenoweth’s three articles on her 1960 summer job selling tickets for boat trips and her friendship with Captain Ross Dickson who made his living on the ocean. He had a master mariner’s license, unlimited — any tonnage, any ocean. He was a valued pilot for large coastal vessels during World War II and captained tugs, steamers, and passenger boats locally.

Rotaract is Rotary’s young professional arm, made up of ages 18-30 and with a local Rotary Club as a sponsor. Rotaract Clubs are independent from their Rotary Club, and have...

Enjoying the outdoors tick-free
Tuesday, April 2, 2019 - 11:15am
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...

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...

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...

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...

Spring has arrived and I believe that many of you are just as excited as I since it brings us that much closer to summer and Ocean Point. Our daffodils are beginning to sprout, a sure sign of spring! Spring also brings college entrance acceptances; congratulations to Mary Batsie daughter of Dan and Margo Batsie who I understand will be attending St Lawrence University in Canton New York this fall. There will no doubt be several more acceptances to report as the season progresses. There is great...
