Houlton Maine'sTemple Theatre A Local Jewel.

It's thursday night, and I'm excited about the weekly routine of heading to the Temple Theatre for $3.50 bargain night. Went to the movie "Taken" and it was super. Two screens, neat as a pin, and all styled around the original design. You can feel the heritage, the history of this local landmark. Going to the movies. Big screen. Big silver screen. Surround sound, friends and neighbors pack the place. This is small town, local community. The owner of the Temple, Mike Hurley does a first class job. The history of Houlton Maine movie was aired on the Temple screens to celebrate the heritage of the local Southern Aroostook County area. If you are in Houlton Maine, walk downtown over the new River Front Bridge, eat at the Courtyard Cafe or The Vault. Take in a flick and take a stroll around the beautiful Victorian town of Houlton Maine.

Picking Potatoes...Maine Kids Learn Work Ethic Early On!

Growing up, the winter coat was something youth selected and paid for. During potato havest, a three week period that is a school recess, pickers with extra picking gloves, lunch boxes and water jug trek to the many Aroostook County fertile fields. Everyone did it growing up. Heck there are adults who take vacations at this time to help area farmers get the golden spuds to market or to storage for the winter. The experience is a big part of everyone's life in Maine. Same as raking blueberries along the Maine coastal areas, or lobstering and clamming with family members. Hard work, good honest work. And the other employees you spend the day with become closer and the area farmer needs you. You are contributing big time for your 25, 60 or whatever cents per barrel payment. The money made is saved. The potato checks are held onto tightly. Used for christmas presents in carefully selected purchases, winter clothes selection, essentials or for a rainy day.

No money wasted, not alot of money to waste in rural maine. But what you do purchase after careful thought is taken care or, not neglected or abused or forgotten from lack of interest. The folks in Washington DC could take a lesson from this rural lifestyle. If money was more precious, and there was less tax payer dollars and sale taxes rolling in, priorities and belt tightening would become in fashion for survival. There would be no choice. That's real world. Currently if there is problem national, throw money at it, lots of money and waste money along the way.

Northern Maine Potato Harvest In Full Swing!

Aroostook County is bustling with clear air, frosty mornings, blue skies and sunny fall weather during potato harvest! Area youth get up early in the morning, tune into the radio for start times while parents make big hearty breakfasts to get the potato workers thru the morning to sample the lunches they tote to the fields and potato storage houses. Youth make money for winter clothes; area farmers benefit from the students. Fall harvest is a special time in "The County" and all ages remember their contribution and childhood labor to get the crop out of the ground. See a 25 sec loop of a scene from a potato storage operation. Visit the Maine Potato Board website.

Northern Maine Potato Harvest Starts In About Three Weeks!

The secret to life is to make the most of the circumstances you are dealt, to remember that family is everything, to think of others and be a good neighbor, to work hard and be passionate about your job. To make your community a better place to live, work and play. Local Houlton Maine and Aroostook County youth work growing up for their spending money. They are taught respect for others, for property and to appreciate all they do have not what they have for a list of galloping gimmees. The Northern Maine potato harvest will start in about three weeks and that is a time enjoyed by young and old alike as a tradition special to the "County". Already, youth have jobs lined up in the potato fields and spud houses to make money for those expensive A&F pants, or a new downhill ski coat, or to save for college or that "pre owned" car. Because Maine youth contribute to the cost of everyday life, they are more productive parts of a family which in turn translates into their role in the community they find themselves raising a familyand working in down the road. In Northern Maine there is less money to manage, so they like their parents are taught to be better money managers. Shut off those lights, don't leave that door open, don't waste food by taking more than you can eat. They split and store firewood as a family annual exercise. My kids remember trips to the Ludlow woodlot to load the farm truck with this year's heat supply of wood. The weather in the fall in Maine is gorgeous...little chill or crispness to air in morning or early evenings but a picnic in the woods as we take a break from loading and stacking wood is a time to talk, share laugh and spend time together. The kids feel part of the family because they contribute. They are needed and a special part of household. This experience and closeness translates into adults who don't look for a hand out or a country expected to take care of them...but rather what can I do to help, what work needs tackling that I can help with.

Northern Mainers are not lazy...and they are survivors. This year's oil price hike, quickly get on board with energy saving operations around the household. Many local neighbors though already had the two feet of attic insulation, box sills stuffed with pink stuff and weather stripping added to the new insulated doors and windows added years ago. Mainers don't wait until a crisis situation and are not just looking at a windows of the next twenty minutes..they plan for all the things that could happen and are prepared. Again it comes back to how they were raised, having to be more cautious spenders because money did not flow like water thru the household budget. I would rather make less but get more from my everyday dollar in rural Maine. With mortgages of $30, $40 and $50 thousand dollars, we don't need to have giant salaries to pay the lower insurance costs and for our free entertainment. In Maine, recreational opportunities are endless and all you have to do is get here or live here. Our backyard is "Vacationland". Hiking, moose spotting, skiing, fishing, boating, snowsledding and outdoor farming based lifestyle choices make Maine the place to live, work and play. We don't have or need full time police officers in our schools, we don't need to lock our doors, people wave, smile and are nice to each other. No need to carry a taser, no gangs, no smog, no traffic...just four season beauty and a pace of life that is sane, family oriented. Maine...the way life should be. Is something missing in your life? Maybe it's Maine. Come for a day, stay a lifetime!

Could you own a Maine hobby farm and teach your kids where food comes from? Back in the 1800's 96 percent of us were farmers. Raising critters or crops and being close to self sufficient is not granola, hokey or back to nature extreme. It makes sense and the life style if rewarding. You become a bit of a carpenter, mechanic, gambler, scientist, and try new things. You barter with your neighbor...you exchange skills, you help each other in the old "barn raising" way. Your place this week, my place next week. Help with haying, strong friendships created, love of the land and respect for nature grows leaps and bounds. Maine..the way life should be.
