LYME TIME
It is what it is
Mon, 08/03/2020 - 9:45pm

We live in an amazing state that offers so many indoor and outdoor year-round activities, but not without risk. I’ve watched it all play out during this time of Covid-19 and quarantine. I’ve seen the best and worse of people, pushed too far, stretched too thin and with so much to lose on the line. I’ve personally lost friends to not only Covid-19 but also to Lyme and tick-borne disease. Loss that never should have happened, but it did because someone along the way, didn’t have the answers...

Stress be gone with Qi Gong
Wed, 07/29/2020 - 11:00am

Healthy stress is a natural part of life. We need a certain level of stimulation to perform daily tasks and achieve goals. But when stress is excessive, extended and unfocused, it becomes distress, and can cause real damage. Over a long period of time, high levels of stress take a serious toll on our health and well-being. While we can't completely avoid stress, we can take precautions so that life's challenges won't send us into a tailspin. We may even find that our stress points can become...

Tue, 07/28/2020 - 9:00am

“The Town Crier” took Phil Di Vece longer than his first two books on Wiscasset’s history. He never planned a third one. It happened because he had so much material left after “ Wiscasset and Its Times – Stories of Maine’s Prettiest Village” and “ More Wiscasset and Its Times”; a nd because readers’ reaction was overwhelmingly positive, including asking when the next would come out. He got emails from all over the country. “People just loved (the first two) so much ... I’m very humbled.”...

Both sides of the bridge
Fri, 07/24/2020 - 2:30pm

The views from both sides of a bridge are sometimes different, while other times, very similar.

We skipped Barters Island Bridge as access was difficult due to the construction of the new bridge still underway. We will add it when we are able.

Thu, 07/23/2020 - 8:45am

A ray of hope can appear when you least expect it. For the past four weekends, it has come to Boothbay Harbor in the form of a big, black horse named Hercules. He was brought here by owner Gerry Scott, a retired military veteran and commander of a U.S. Army horse unit. Scott now runs a horse farm and yoga retreat in Saco. Cancellations of the students for his summer yoga sessions prompted Scott to conduct a “soldiers for life” mission with Hercules instead. Stops at a number of towns from...
The Lighthouse Keeper’s dwelling
Wed, 07/22/2020 - 8:30am

When the Burnt Island Lighthouse was built in 1821, a keeper’s dwelling was also constructed. However, drawings or photographs that document that first house have never been found. The only clue about its construction was in the 1842 Annual Report of the U.S. Light-House Establishment where it mentioned that Burnt Island’s buildings needed repointing and whitewashing. This is an indication that it, like the lighthouse, was a masonry structure and is the likely explanation to why rough-cut,...
