An innocuous recent column on lessons to be learned from the Amish way of life, which ran along with a photo of a horse munching on hay at Home Depot, generated a flurry of opinions from readers on the condition of the horse, Amy Calder writes.
Danielle Doyon, who teaches baking classes to both children and adults, learned to love sweets while growing up in Fairfield near Hillman's Bakery where she would stop to buy a Bismarck and coconut macaroon.
An Amish man directed his horse and buggy through Waterville traffic this week while on the way to Home Depot, and his journey was a lesson on the importance of slowing down, Amy Calder writes.
The Waterville community has been generous and empathetic when it comes to helping a growing number of homeless people living in encampments, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that the city can't do it alone and should seek state or federal intervention, Amy Calder writes.
