Maine and Lincoln County Urged to Bird Hard for Great Backyard Bird Count
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 10:30am
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...
Lyme Time with Paula Jackson Jones
You don’t know me but you saved my life
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 10:00am
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. Her parents met me last summer at the Union Fair and we had a lengthy conversation about their daughter's struggle. I shared some of my personal journey with them and before long all three of us were in tears...

Schools face major challenges
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 8:30am
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...

Cauliflower steak
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 8:00am
I’m really excited to share this recipe with all of you. First I want to thank all the people who reached out to Richard and me with the passing of my wonderful mother-in-law Mary and my beautiful Nana Blake. They will be missed terribly. Richard and I are blessed with family and so many awesome friends. A little overwhelmed with all of the cards, phone calls and texts. We are grateful. Grocery list for this recipe: cauliflower, your choice of nuts (I used pecans), honey, one tablespoon of...

Harry
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 7:15am
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...
Has anybody seen a ...?
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 7:00am
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. I was surprised to see that an object that had once been so commonplace had all but disappeared. When did it happen? I could have sworn it hasn’t been
that
long since I’ve seen rotary dial phones. Well, now that I think about it... Which made me realize there are lots of things that used to be part of everyday...

The song sung by Jimmy Durante, “What a Wonderful World,” is lilting through my mind as I gaze up to the Wedgwood skies of now mid-February. There is a distinct fresh smell in the air as if it has been ionized. The sun is crisp and the temperature is nearly tropical. It is 23 degrees. Valentine’s Day fast approaches with its own “heads up.” As was incorrectly reported in last week’s column, Sarah Strousss will not be hosting the Thursday Night Cocktails on this Thursday, the 14th. She will be...
Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library
Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - 8:15am
I read an article online in The Atlantic the other day about a new “smart cooler” that Walgreens rolled out in Chicago last month . According to the article, more of these intelligent refrigerators are scheduled for release in New York and San Francisco soon. “Smart” in the term “smart cooler” pretty much means spying. This new cooler automatically snaps a photo of your face when you approach it. I wish the fact that the cooler is taking your picture were the worst part of this story. It’s...
Southport Column: Farewell to Ann Roche, the SIA and more
Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - 7:30am
I hope each of you gets at least one valentine, or hug, or otherwise love and affection on this Valentine’s Day. For me, I thank each one of you who sends news for this column. My ears are not big enough to capture it all myself. Our Southport Memorial Library filled with “well-wishers” on Tuesday afternoon as we bid farewell to Ann Roche, a long-time resident who is now moving to Portland to be near her daughter and experience city life for a change. A delicious cake, cookies, candies, and...

Many kudos to Rotarians and students who stepped up to participate in the highly successful Mock Interview Days. The students presented their resumes to Rotarians who interviewed applicants for the jobs of their choice. With the leadership of faculty Nick Scott and Ingrid Merrill, this continues to be a very special partnership with the BRHS which helps students prepare for their futures. The students were amazing and so were the following: Jeff Long, Griff Winthrop, Vic Taylor, Tory Paxson,...

Last Saturday, high school junior Ciara Pitcher competed in the American Legion State Oratorical Contest held at Thomas College. Having won the regional contest, she was among the six finalists to compete at the state level. The contestants are required to give a 10-minute speech on the Constitution, without notes. Once this phase is completed, they are given a specific article or amendment of the Constitution and provided just 5 minutes to prepare a 3-minute speech, again without notes. While...

Greetings from the members of the Knight of Pythias Boothbay Lodge #32. February is shaping up to be a busy month for us at the KP hall. Thank you to the “Old & Cranky” band, along with special friends, for coming in for our last dance. We have another dance set for Saturday night, Feb. 16. Our friends from the “Lost & Found” band will be in to play up a wide range of fun music for you all to enjoy. BYOB, 7-10 p.m., and $10 per person. On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 26, noon to 3 p.m. or so...

Lucky us, Graham and Nancy will be returning just in time to host the February potluck on the 20th starting at 6 p.m. Please bring an appetizer, main or side dish or dessert to share. And don’t forget your beverage of choice. Directions will be in Judy’s email reminder or you may call Evelyn (633-6977). And another entry for the calendar – March 20, a Tuesday — will be the potluck at Lou and Irene’s. Details will be coming later but since it is a date change it should be noted now. Sally once...
DEYC holds January gathering
Thursday, February 7, 2019 - 11:30am
It’s January again and that means that Jack and Barbara Brennan host the first DEYC winter gathering of the new year. Their lovely, welcoming home has provided the January setting for the past three years. Even with an unpredictable storm on the horizon, more than 40 hearty Down East Yacht Clubbers were anxious to make their way to Quarry Road in Edgecomb on this fateful Saturday evening. After all, it’s winter in Maine; it is what we DEYC boaters do to substitute for warm weather maritime...
Where It’s At ... Waltzin’ with The Band ...
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 10:30am
I remember the night a carload of us went to the movies in East Hartford to see “The Last Waltz.” It was 1978. And we loved The Band. We
still
love The Band, I say “we” still although I haven’t seen most of the friends I went with in over 20 or more years … since I moved up here to Maine 30 years ago. But, back to The Band. I have the CD and DVD of “The Last Waltz” and every time I listen or watch it, it never fails to fill me with happiness. I’ll find myself smiling when I’m not...

Homemade nachos with a pineapple salsa
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 8:00am
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...
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...

Jim Holmes is “Mr. Fixit”
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 7:15am
What do you do if your snow blower makes a strange noise, your portable generator doesn’t generate, or you just pulled the pull cord out of your lawnmower? In the Boothbay region, those in the know drive over to a little garage tucked in behind a neat white frame home not far from the intersection of Route 96 and Bradley Road. You can’t miss it. It is the garage framed with dozens of lawnmowers, snow blowers, and other assorted small engine machines. It is the domain of Jim Holmes, aka Mr...
’Round Town
Seats
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - 7:00am
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...

First, want need to thank the Sweatin’ Bullets Band and all of their fans for such a great turnout at our last dance. In a small way, our group has decided to donate all our 50/50 earnings for this month to the Rigas family as they go through this tough time. They have always help out with our fundraisers when asked so we want to show them some support. Our first...

I gotta say, the sledding this winter has been absolutely terrible. I think my kids have gone twice — once back in November, and then again after that Nor’easter that dropped eight inches of crusty, icy, slick little pellets. Great for sledding, but the thermometer peaked at about 5 degrees that day, with a brutal wind. We lasted maybe half an hour. The forecast isn’t looking too promising for next week, either. So I wouldn’t put any money on a February break snow fest. Not to worry, though;...
Southport Column: Winter Walk, Ruth’s House and more
Tuesday, February 5, 2019 - 10:30am
Many thanks to Sandra Seifert who kept the Southport news flowing last week while Kit and I and many family and friends enjoyed the deep, fluffy snow and cold beauty of the Trapp Family Lodge at Stowe, Vermont. Some of us skied, all of us swam and enjoyed the hot tub, some of us did yoga, water aerobics, and several of us enjoyed massages. A great week away, but always fun to be home. Clark and Louise Phippen also have a time share at Trapp, so we saw them often during the week for dinner and...

The committee members are Vice Commodore Liz Rettenmaier, Rear Commodore Jon Dunsford, Finance Chair Marion Flores,...

The kitchen update is progressing very nicely. Many thanks to those who have contributed to this effort. The Shoe Drive will continue until the end of February. When we checked in this morning, the total collected to date is 925 pairs. We still can use many more pairs so check your closets. The Cookie Walk will take place Wednesday,...

As has been reported, our community continued to respond in the most generous way by joining us in our fundraising special breakfast to support our Coast Guard men and women during this most recent shut down. We presented the $2,200 check to Officer in Charge, BMC Adam Smart, this past Monday who expressed his sincere appreciation on behalf of those under his command. Even as we presented the check, contributions are continuing to come in to the Post. On March 16, we will be having our first St...

Ticks do not die in winter
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 1:30pm
“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. How else can you explain the popularity of the musical “Into the Woods” or “Once Upon A Mattress” or … (sigh) Oscar and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella”? That last one...

A Brief History of Bird Feeding

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...

Gas stations at Boothbay Center
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 8:30am
In recent decades the number of gas stations have fallen in the region to a very low number. Boothbay Harbor has two: Good ’N You with full and self service on Townsend Avenue and self-service Irving on the meadow. North Boothbay has one self-service station at T&D Variety near the Railway Village. If that is the norm by today's standard, then there was a surprising number of gas stations dotting the region from the late 1920s to the 1950s, and they were in far flung locations. For instance...

I was hammer drilling a deeper hole for the sump pump in my wife’s mother’s house on West Street the other day, and it occurred to me that there must be a better way to make a living. 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...

Winter thoughts
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 7:30am
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...

Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 7:15am
I’m writing about doing my part for our local Coast Guard Station. When the government had a partial shutdown and it affected our peninsula, I knew like many others, Paul Coulombe had given the Coast Guard Station a very gracious Hannaford gift card. Thank You P.C., as always you step up to the plate in the time of need. The American Legion Hall, God bless them, gave grants and sponsored a well-attended breakfast. The Congregational Church had a supper who donated their monies as well. I felt I...

Tuesday, January 29, 2019 - 4:00pm
Ocean Point Patriots’ fans as well as all New England fans have to be excited for the teams return to another Super Bowl, their ninth appearance under Coach Belichick and 11th for the franchise! What an accomplishment for the team and for Tom Brady who also has his ninth conference title, congratulations on another AFC trophy. It was exciting to see the rally on Sunday with over 35,000 fans in attendance and Tom Brady leading the fans in “We’re still here!” We were hit with a blanket of heavy...

Rotarians are people of action! And never was this so clear as last week, when the government “shutdown” was in full force with no clear end in sight, and the personnel at our own Coast Guard base were bearing the brunt of Washington’s inability to forge a deal. Rotarians rose to the occasion: we raised $2,500, invited all local affected federal employees to be our guests at weekly Rotary dinners, and invited Coasties to our homes for dinner. Way to go, Rotarians! Our recent guest speaker for...

Winter is surely here. Below freezing temperatures and more than enough snow and ice reminds me of when I was growing up here in the Northeast, sitting by the radio waiting with anticipation for the “no school, all schools today” announcement. Enter the age of technology and by turning on the TV or flipping open your iPad, this information and more is at your fingertips. If sledding or ice skating were impossible, then reading was the next choice. My Nancy Drew Mysteries never let me down. Our...

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. Inside the...
The Odd Duck
Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - 7:15am
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...

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.

From every window of the new Sailing and Education Center, the parade of the seasonal sensations can...

Well, after all my enthusiasm about the Souper Bowl luncheon that was to be held last Monday, the event was cancelled due to our Nor’easter that dumped much snow on the island the day before, on Sunday. To my knowledge an alternate date has not been put forth. Stay turned. We did have our storm, but at least at our house not so many inches of snow as forecast. No power went out here, nor are there any downed trees. Finn Carroll plowed our drive promptly so we could leave if necessary. At nine...

Thursday, January 17, 2019 - 10:00am
With freezing temperatures and frigid wind chills, thinking about ticks, tick-borne disease or even prevention isn’t something on most people’s minds. For me, it is all I ever think about because of all the information and horror stories that I am exposed to, it is not something that I can just shut off. I am constantly talking to people and thinking of ways to convince them to stay alert, to have a plan in place because these cold temps won’t last and warmer days will be upon us and before you...
