I enjoy reading old newspapers. Especially the ones circulated here in Rangeley over a century ago. They share the news of a time that appears far less complicated and the hopes its people held for the very future that we now reside in. I find these old chronicles fascinating for what they can teach us […]

Brian and Priscilla St. Louis of Sunrise View Farm are happy to be celebrating their 30 year anniversary since starting the business this July. The farm itself dates back to the 1890s. On a flyer given out during a 2009 Rangeley Friends of the Arts Home Tour I found out that what used to be […]

An Impressive Honor for Veterans in my Hometown I planned on being there, then Covid-19 got in the way…
I am certainly not looking for sympathy during this pandemic-interrupted assault on life as we knew it. Every person and every family has had their daily lives disrupted in some way(s), some much more than others…especially if one is a retail store or restaurant owner or employee, or parent of school age children. However, I […]
Treasure Hunting for “Horns” with Steve
After years of driving by, however curious I was, I finally pulled off and took the time to chat with Steve Waugh. Although there is a small sign on his porch that says “Steve’s Antlers”, it’s not really a shop but more of a specialized yard sale where he is only there when the sign […]

BL&T Book of the Month Club

Real Adversity and Two Real Heroes
As the Fourth of July approaches, I tend to think about our founding fathers, who risked everything to bring forth this nation from the yoke of British rule. In retrospect,the odds of them winning were laughable, yet they persevered through Valley Forge and endless other brutal hardships to do it. Those brave patriots were succeeded […]
Reeds Mill Church Postpones Opening of Summer Services
MADRID- Trustees of Reeds Mill Church gathered for their annual meeting on June 14. After much deliberation the group voted to not open for services in July due to Covid-19. Because of the lack of acceptable spacing between pews there is room for very few to safely attend services. In addition, some who appreciate worshiping here […]
