It was the Lady Seahawks’ fifth loss in seven games, but Coach Brian Blethen is seeing steady improvement in his young squad. On Jan. 26, Medomak Valley beat Boothbay Region in schoolgirl basketball, 73-41, in Waldoboro. In the rematch, Medomak was on the verge of another lopsided victory leading, 22-11, midway through the third quarter before the Boothbay offense found its groove.

At Veggies to Table, a grow-to-donate farm, we are busy planning the upcoming growing season and excited to start the first of our seedlings in March.
We look forward to a successful third season growing organic produce and flowers to donate to community members experiencing hunger.
We have been accepted into the AmeriCorps Vista program ‘End Hunger in Maine by 2030’ and are looking for a qualified team member to help us achieve our ambitious goals to feed our community. This is a full-time, year-long capacity building position.
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank everyone involved in providing the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Boothbay Region YMCA on Jan. 25.
Both inside and outside the facility I was treated so well. I am 85 years old and use a walker. I was greeted at the door and was given a wheelchair to use.
I don’t think these people get thanked enough and I do appreciate people who help others.
Thank you very much.

The coronavirus pandemic may have impacted Ed Crocker’s life more than any other player, coach, or sports official. Crocker has refereed high school basketball for 26 years before deciding against officiating this season. Maine’s high school basketball season is underway as teams play a reduced schedule while players, coaches and officials don masks. This winter is not the first time the pandemic has impacted Crocker’s role in youth athletics.
