December 24, 2013 How are you faring Ice Storm 2013? Out of power? Water? Heat? Yep, us too. But, you know, we're Mainers. We'll make the best of it and find our way through. And think of the stories we'll tell our relatives of this Christmas!
December 24, 2013 The skies have cleared for the most part today leaving only the cleanup following a two-day ice storm that left some parts of Maine covered in an inch of ice.
As Mainers go about last minute preparations for Christmas, thousands have been plunged into darkness as the state's utility companies announce this morning as many as 100,000 customers were in the dark as of 5AM.
December 23, 2013 If you have ever had any dealings with the family court system in Maine, your opinion is being solicited.
Starting next month, a series of public hearings will be held throughout the state giving you a chance to sound off.
December 21, 2013 Last year, the Q-106.5 Pine Tree Camp Egg Ride was a magical event!! We pledged to raise $40,000.00 dollars for the 40th Anniversary of the Pine Tree Camp Ride-In Weekend, and your support blew us away, your support helped us reach our largest total ever, over $55,000.00 for the Pine Tree Camp! For that, we Thank-You from the bottom of our hearts! And now, it's time to do it again! Are you ready for the 2014 Pine Tree Camp Egg Ride?!
December 21, 2013 With the impending ice storm, the Maine Center for Disease Control is reminding residents to be safe with their generators and space heaters. If these appliances are not properly vented, it could result in carbon monoxide poisoning, causing illness or even death.
December 19, 2013 You've heard that song "Some of My Favorite Things?" Well, the subject of this week's Throwback Thursday combines a couple of mine. I've always favored the story of Ebenezer Scrooge at Christmas...and I love the Muppets anytime! 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' is one of my holiday staples.
December 19, 2013 Where else can you get dressed up in crazy costumes and hurl yourself and your friends down an iced chute, or ride a mechanical bull?
Camden, Maine is the answer, and you probably thought the beautiful Mid-Coast town was just about browsing fabulous shops and majestic windjammers.
December 18, 2013 It's shaping up to be a great winter for outdoor activities. Plenty of snow for whatever you want to do, including the horse-drawn sled rides at Leonard's Mills in Bradley. It's a great way to tour the Maine Forest and Logging Museum's historic compound, and it's a fun and scenic way to pass a winter day!
The rides at Leonard's Mills are a little different than most because they use an authentic sled designed to haul wood
December 17, 2013 I couldn't believe, this morning, how many pictures of people's car gauges I saw on Facebook. They all showed the same thing....the temperature read-out said it's COLD out right now! So, as you're going through your day, take a few minutes to stop by and visit your elderly neighbors. It could just be a pleasant visit, but it could also save a life.
December 17, 2013 While our freedom of speech and expression remain constitutionally protected, I'd like to shout to the rooftops after reading this story.
For years, as my parents kept the dream alive and instilled in me the magic of the Christmas season, tracking the world-wide journey of Santa Claus and his reindeer became a tradition I eagerly awaited.
Like millions of other children, I tuned into the NORAD reports of where jolly ole' Saint Nick was in his trek.
