Charlie Chiarchiaro embraces old, new technology
Friday, September 21, 2018 - 7:15am
Charlie Chiarchiaro does not see himself as an antique collector, but as a philosopher exploring the interface between the analog and the digital ages. What began as a collection of musical instruments, guns and small steam engines has mushroomed to fill a large steel warehouse off Depot Street in Waldoboro. The building contains wall-to-wall collectibles ranging from antique cars to steam engines to scientific instruments to books and guitars. Chiarchiaro’s collection of resonator guitars...

From south to north, young lobsters find cool refuge in deepwater
Thursday, September 20, 2018 - 7:15pm
Orono, Maine — Maine fishermen hauled in 110.8 million pounds of lobsters in 2017 with a value of more than $400 million. While still incredibly large, this volume represented a 16 percent decline and $100 million loss compared to previous years of record-setting landings. Since the late 1980s Maine’s lobster landings have multiplied six fold, while the area of highest landings has shifted Down East to Hancock and Washington counties. The U.S. lobster fishery is now the nation’s most valuable...
Chowder House to downsize to functions
Thursday, September 20, 2018 - 8:30am
After 40 years, Bob and Sally Maroon are bidding farewell to hosting daily traffic through the Chowder House. And with a desire to end the season quietly, they plan no big celebrations or hurrahs to mark the end of that run, because the Chowder House will be open next season for private functions, Bob said. “People said 'Oh, did somebody buy it?' and 'Are they tearing down the building,'” Sally said. "I'm like 'No!' I said the building's going to look the same, the kayak shop that's rented from...
What if patients designed their own medical care?
Thursday, September 20, 2018 - 8:00am
The diagnosis and treatment of certain illnesses can be daunting for patients and their medical providers. Add limitations imposed by medical insurance and common practice and it becomes even more difficult to navigate, especially for anyone whose energy is sapped by a chronic condition. This is especially true for those suffering from tick-borne diseases who routinely experience difficulty with medical diagnosis, treatment and cost. Diagnosis can often take several tests sometimes over months...

Monday, September 17, 2018 - 8:30am
Sometimes it takes a little patience for a good idea to become a reality. That’s the case with the free medical supplies closet the Community Center has opened. The idea began with Center President Shawn Lewin. “Two years ago, I was driving to Orono and a friend called me looking for a lift chair. I called hospice, located one, picked it up and delivered it.” Then he realized a community-wide program to share medical equipment was needed. Since then, Lewin has collected the equipment and...

Whoever was laid to rest in Alna Cemetery in the 1800s, they meant something to someone, Denise Bizer said. That's why she feels it's important to help honor Alna's dead centuries later.

The state of Maine and the Ku Klux Klan.
