Every day, it seems, there’s another threat to public land. Real or imagined, changes are afoot. The Secretary of the Interior, who claimed to be cut from the same cloth as Teddy Roosevelt, has instead proven to be a pawn of the oil and gas industry. Conservation and preservation have taken a backseat to development. But this is a good thing. We needed a wakeup call. We’d become complacent, content with what we had, never expecting it to end. The only folks talking about selling our public lan...
To the residents of Saco: I just found out that one of our citizens has a new website out.

Most of us have surely noticed that today’s world is a pretty noisy place. From electronic gadgets, to the sounds of traffic, to just listening to the chatter of family, friends and co-workers, much of our day is probably filled with a great deal of sound. This noise may seem a condition of modern life, but studies have found that purposely adding a little silence to our days may bring a number of benefits. Adding some quiet can provide not just mental health benefits, but physiological ones as well. Turning off at least some of the noise h...

Winter has made itself known again with a vengeance! We got more snow and colder temperatures, plus the wind! However, I am confident that spring will be arriving soon with lots of songbirds and flowers! I wonder if I’m the only one who doesn’t really follow the Superbowl. I know that the Eagles won for the first time ever and there was a commercial with Dirty Dancing in it. Sorry, that’s about it. Almost as bad as the three contestants on Jeopardy who didn’t know one answer in the categor...

Some of us will not be here for the next one. On Friday it turned very cold again with several inches of new snow and...
