A free ride service in Lincoln County will once again offer transportation to passengers who have had the COVID-19 vaccine only after a long interruption due to the pandemic.

Everyone is invited to bring in expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for safe disposal, no questions asked. This national event is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency, local law enforcement and community health partners. The service is free and anonymous. Please wear a mask at the disposal sites.

Seven years, nine months, and 29 days. That’s how long Amber Young has been a streak runner meaning she runs every day, without fail.
Her love for running was not innate, but began when a friend wanted a partner for a 5K race. Young agreed, reluctantly, and she was hooked.
Six months later, she ran her first half-marathon, and a year later, she took on Disney World’s “Dopey Challenge” in Florida four days of running, beginning with a 5K the first day, followed by a 10K, a half-marathon, and, finally, a full marathon on day four.
Dear Editor:
I’m writing in response to the Dec. 7 letter ‘Our health care is gone’ that states health care in Boothbay Harbor, particularly on LincolnHealth’s St. Andrews campus, no longer exists.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Primary care is thriving at the Family Care Center, which remains open five days a week. Lab work is done at the Center as well. In addition, all Wellness and Rehabilitation Services continue on the St. Andrews campus.
The only change in care is the temporary re-assignment of Urgent Care Center staff to the Miles Campus in Damariscotta on Dec. 7, a move made necessary by the surge of COVID-19 cases in Lincoln County.
