Young James Brown, my River Road neighbor, stopped by to leave off the Boy Scout popcorn we'd ordered and forgotten about. He is in his third year with Pack 201, and involved also in local 4-H activities. Last week his pack hiked around Dodge Point in the pouring rain!

His mother Evelin is just winding up her first Nursing Clinical semester at Bodwell's, a facility, once part of the old Midcoast Hospital in Brunswick, that handles patients requiring longer stays for rehabilitation and convalescence. Next semester she will transfer to Brunswick's Parkview Hospital, and 12-hour shifts!

If you have read all the way to the end of this column, you may have noted that it is available at www.Edgecomb.org. BUT ... the webmaster, Stuart Smith of Seguin Software, has included much more on this website to interest the residents of Edgecomb and those curious about the town. Besides the Edgecomb Column, which has an archive of its last two years, you will find minutes of the Selectmen's Meetings, the Planning Board, and the Schmid Preserve Committee.

In addition, the website brings you items about our town that make it our town. Are you following the Bypass question? There is a great map of the proposed routes. When I say "great," remember, it's 2.5 megabytes, so it takes a while to download. Once you've got it, it provides the several route options (including a couple which are no longer on the table), natural features such as the large deer yard on Clark's Point, and details of both Wiscasset's and Edgecomb's property lines in the concerned area.

Do you follow the issue of urban and suburban sprawl and wonder how it all affects Edgecomb? Take a look at the series of nine GIS political and environmental maps of the town available on the site. A Google search engine is provided for exploring specific topics, i.e., the word "bypass" appears 29 times in the accumulated Edgecomb columns!

Are you curious about our ordinances? A number of the most important Town ordinances is provided, as well as checklists for various permit applications. Want to contact committees and officials? Their e-mail addresses are available. Give www.Edgecomb.org a look! There is much that will be of interest to you, perhaps of vital interest.
