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

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…Read Article

Margaretta Days a Once in a Semiquincentennial Year Celebration of First Naval Engagement

By Paul Sylvain Midway between a bicentennial and a tercentenary celebration is this peculiarly named anniversary called a “semiquincentennial,” and this year marked the semiquincentennial — or, in plain English, the 250th — anniversary of the Battle of the Margaretta, which is considered by the U.S. Navy and many others to be the first Naval engagement of the American Revolution.MachiasClick here to log in https://machiasnews.com/user or Login …Machias · Machias Read Article

Hennessey, Wood Receive Awards By Will Tuell The 2025 Machias Area Little League regular season is a wrap and this year’s action offered no shortage of thrilling moments, firsts, and personal triumphs, from the undefeated Hurricanes finishing a perfect 12-0 in softball to the 10-2 Owls pulling away in the final two weeks to resolve a three-way contest atop the standings in baseball to the much-improved Eagles picking up their first win in two ba…Baseball · Machias Read Article

Jonesport Sets Special Town Meeting to Vote on School Budget, Kingfish Land Use Ordinance Change

By Nancy Beal Jonesport’s annual town meeting was held March 10, but voting didn’t end that day. Late last month, a handful of citizens came to the elementary school gym to consider a budget for the ensuing year and, breaking from tradition, voted it down. Next, a building permit allowing a $100 million land-based fish farm was challenged and, as it developed, required a couple of ordinance changes to settle. All will be taken up in special town…Machias · Machias Read Article
