All Info Pertaining to The Highlands

All Info Pertaining to The Highlands
Jean and I moved to The Highlands in the Fall of 2007 from our home on Cousins Island in Yarmouth where we had lived for 30 wonderful years. I often think that I'd like to share a thought or an experience about our life here at The Highlands with other folks . . . and by this "blog" I am going to do so. One other thought. The Highlands is not in any way responsible for this website. This is wholly the personal responsibility of Stan Sylvester. Jean Sylvester has her own site at http://www.catcarewithlove.blogspot.com/ mostly devoted to her writings, her poetry and her experience as a professional cat care person in Yarmouth. SPECIAL NOTE TO VISITORS: In addition to scrolling down to view contents of my blog, when you reach the bottom you can click on "older posts" to review all the topics I've posted.

Gov. Paul LePage visits The Highlands


Yes, Govenor LePage designated April 22, 2011 as one of his "Capitol for the Day" events in which he spends a whole day visiting major sites in a selected county. His Sagadahoc County visits included, among others, the Bath Iron Works, Crooker & Sons, the Tedford Shelter, Mt. Ararat Junior High School and The Highlands.


Here's the headline from the Portland Press Herald, with the newspaper photo of the Governor in Brunswick, along with a photo of Crystal and the Governor in our living room here at The Highlands.



I am meeting Gov. LePage at the front door, welcoming him to the Maine Lodge of The Highlands.

Last but not least, John Tyler warmly greets the Governor while Don Wessels smiles in the background.

Bruce Poliquin, the State Treasurer, was also part of the Governor's staff which accompanied him.  Crystal saw to it that we all made Bruce feel welcome, too.
