Oy Vey Iz Mir

Jon Reisman My maternal grandfather, Abraham Plaut, left me many gifts — a love of baseball, bridge, parody, the English language, and Yiddish idioms. Lately, all of those have been combining into a recurrent thought/meme: Oy vey iz mir, or woe is/to me. The Ashkenazi cultural overlay usually brings the phrase a touch of coping comedic optimism (hand wave/press to forehead) as opposed to depressed despair (chin cup/frown), but recent events have…See the Story

Machias Planners Approve 3 Building Permits, Move Forward with Solar Ordinance, Resolving Storage Project Violations

By Paul Sylvain It took the Machias planning board a mere 10 minutes from opening gavel to adjournment to approve three building permits and call it a night at its July 2 meeting. Of more importance than the permit applications on the meeting’s agenda, however, was a scheduled discussion with West Branch Farm’s owner Chris Meroff over his proposed addition of four more rental cabins on his West Kennebec Road property. MachiasClick here to log in…Machias · MachiasRead Article

Pitch Black Ribbons’ Phipp Brothers Deliver Solid Set at Kitchen Summer Series Concert

Review by Paul Sylvain In my Sept. 4, 2024, review of Pitch Black Ribbons’ Aug. 29 show at Bad Little Falls Park, I wrote, “As for me, I hope it's not another year before I see them again. Their show … was a genuine late summer treat.” Call it a self-fulfilling prophecy, but fortunately, I didn’t have to wait a year and managed to catch brothers Clint and Cody Phipps on July 3, in the third of this summer’s Kitchen Concerts at Bad Little Falls P…Machias · MachiasRead Article

Machiasport School, Municipal Warrant Passes Quietly

By Paul Sylvain Town meetings — even the monthly selectboard meetings, which are separate from voting by the general public — in Machiasport have a reputation for being unpredictable. Sometimes quiet, often fiery, they seldom disappoint anyone who attends them regularly. The town’s 49-article warrant for its June 23 annual town meeting certainly appeared benign on the surface. Ultimately, voters dispensed with the 2025-‘26 spending package, with…Machias · MachiasRead Article
