Bruce Thurston & Terry Guptill

Bruce "Hoss" Thurston always said that when it was time to retire, both he and Terry Guptill would go out together. What a story it is -- Hoss has owned his auto repair business for 55 years and Terry has been with him for 42 years. Both summer and year-round residents have stories about how well they were [...]

Solar Moratorium Vote

Tuesday, January 25th, 7 pm

Center Lovell Firehouse

A large turnout is expected for the Solar Moratorium Vote on Tuesday, January 25th, at the Center Lovell Firehouse on Tuesday. It is important that all voters are aware of the following [...]

At the beginning of December, the town of Lovell received an early Christmas "gift" when a company called Walden Renewables delivered a Conditional Use Application to the Lovell Planning Board to build a 35 MW Solar Energy farm on +/- 175 acres. The complete application is 600-plus pages. It is available on-line here or available for review at the town [...]

Richard Rice passed away recently. He was a very humble man and had a wonderful background, one that you might read about in a novel. But he never talked about his life much, even when asked. He was a bit reclusive but he had a photographic mind, was a biologist, worked at Walter Reed Hospital when he was in the Army, was a children's book [...]

It is always nice to have some good news to share. Kevin McDonald of Lovell has been chosen for the Maine Running Hall of Fame.

Anyone who knows Kevin will agree that he always has a kind word and is willing to offer help to those in need.

Since his Falmouth, MA school days at Lawrence High School, Kevin has always been active in cross-country running as well as indoor and outdoor track. And the same passion continued when he attended Springfield College.

Throughout his years in Lovell and working 32 years at the Portland Post Office, Kevin always got his runs in. He has completed 20 marathons during that time, including Boston as well as countless other smaller-distance races. After retiring in 2009, Kevin started coaching track and field at the Lake Region Middle School and that eventually led to his current status as Head Coach for both Indoor Track and Outdoor Track and Field at the Fryeburg Academy. McDonald loves coaching the kids and he has had a lot of great runners through the years and been to the New England Championships. But he also takes great pride in teaching the students techniques and watch them develop into confident athletes.

Every two years, the Maine Running Hall of Fame chooses individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport of running in Maine. Unfortunately, this year's induction ceremony has been postponed due to COVID and hopefully will be held next year.

From the very beginning of the Lovell Old Home Days 5k, Kevin was a big supporter of the race and was helpful in making it a success. I can't think of anyone more deserving of this great honor! CONGRATULATIONS COACH McDONALD!

I have been doing real estate transactions in Lovell, Maine since 2004 and each one is very special to me. Luckily, I would say that all of the deals resulted in a satisfied buyer and seller. Sometimes, changing life circumstances dictate that a property is marketed or a family is looking for a larger home. Each 'deal' is [...]

One of the most delightful aspects of living in rural western Maine is the ebb and flow of the changing seasons. Each quarter of the year has its own characteristics, from snow to rain to Opening Day to colorful gardens to late summer sunsets to foliage. And then back to snow again to start the cycle all [...]

COVID-19 has wreaked death and economic destruction around the globe. All communities have been impacted, even here in rural western Maine. Uncertainty abounds regarding the upcoming summer tourist [...]
