Big Al’s owner Al Cohen thinks people will like the new Barters Island bridge. He liked what he saw of it March 10 when he was crossing the one-lane, temporary bridge.
“The new bridge opened next to me. (There were) a whole bunch of people watching. They were testing the gates. They were testing the lights. And they actually opened the bridge,” Cohen said in a phone interview afterward.
“I thought it’s very nice, and that you won’t have to wait for the traffic lights” when it opens, Cohen said. He observed, the lights at the temporary bridge take up islanders’ time. “They’re going to be very happy” with the new bridge, he said. Cohen shared with Boothbay Register/Wiscasset Newspaper a series of photos he took of the new bridge on the move.

The males will often be in or near their peak breeding season finery as they work to impress females before setting off on their northward journeys to the nesting grounds. White-winged, surf, and black scoters are among the larger-bodied of these sea ducks that begin amassing in higher nu

Alna’s two candidates on the March 27 ballot for second selectman and the two seeking to be third selectman answered Wiscasset Newspaper’s uniform questions on why they are running; what traits, experience, etc. do they have that will aid their service as selectman; what their top priorities would be if elected, and why; and anything else they would like to get across to voters. The newspaper told candidates their complete response could total up to 500 words.

As I gathered signatures on the application form for second selectperson in Alna, I heard many times, “Thank you for running.” This was not an impulsive decision on my part. I considered several other ways of serving in Alna before this,including the school board, planning board, and part-time town clerk. The timing was not quite right for those opportunities, but the opening on the select board connected for several reasons. I had the time, energy and r
