David Treadwell: Kudos to the community for COVID response By David TreadwellJust a Little Old Share During his Prairie Home Companion show, Garrison Keilor would talk about Powdermilk Biscuits made by Norwegian bachelor farmers. As he noted, these biscuits are made of, “the whole wheat that gives shy persons the strength to get up and do what needs to be done.” Well, members of the Midcoast Maine community can take a bow for doing what needs to be done during the pandemic. Let’s start with the general public. Almost everyone has taken mask mandates seriously, wearing them in stores and restaurants and while walking along Maine Street in Brunswick. Fortunately, most storeowners haven’t had to cope with belligerent yahoos refusing to wear masks and yammering on about freedom. (Oddly, some of those same yahoos crave the freedom to carry an AR 47 into a store, never mind the understandable fear it causes in other shoppers. Go figure.)
