Most of the short, savvy essays have appeared in The Forecaster, in Ed’s "Universal Notebook" column (named for the spiral-bound reporter’s notebooks that he buys two dozen at a time), or in the Maine Times, where he was a staff writer for a number of years. He started reporting when he was a sophomore at Westbrook High, writing for the Westbrook American, and aside from a stint as a librarian at the Portland Public Library after college, he’s been "scribbling for a living" in Maine for his working life. Opinionated, insightful, humorous, and sometimes controversial, Ed Beem enjoys his role as a local observer, and these essays will resonate with anyone tuned in to day-to-day life in backyard Maine. Edgar is a freelance writer who lives in Yarmouth, Maine. Former art critic for Maine Times, he has written about art and architecture in Maine for twenty-five years.

Thursday, June 25th. Learn about the Microbiology of Cheeses, Wines, Beers, and Other Fermented Foods at the Humboldt Field Research Institute. This talk celebrates our intimate, beneficial and , enriching relationships with the microbial world especially through our foods and drinks and our essential interactions for digestion, and general good health. All of the great cuisines of the world have evolved their unique flavors, aromas, and textures thanks to the activities of microbes.  If a food or beverage is not absolutely fresh (fresh strawberries, fresh peas, fresh salmon) then it is most likely on its way to decomposition. This was especially true for the tens of thousands of years of human evolution when refrigeration was not a possibility.  Our hungry human ancestors were not likely to toss out an item that was frothing, bubbling, discoloring, and exuding new aromas. Instead those transformations became part of the cuisine and eventually came to define regional cuisines. Thus cheeses (decomposing milk), wines (decomposing grapes), beers (decomposing  grains) and a host of other comestibles (fermented fishes, beans, cabbages) were invented or at least embraced over and over again by cultures far and wide. Betsey Dexter Dyer teaches genetics, bacteriology, and parasitology at Wheaton College in Massachusetts. She  received her PhD in Biology from Boston University. Among her research interests are microbial speciation, bioinformatics, and symbiosis. She has written A Field Guide to Bacteria (Cornell 2003) for which she enjoyed researching all sorts of fermented foods and drinks. For more information about this event and other lectures at the Humboldt Field Research Institute, please see their website: http://www.eaglehill.us. or call (207) 546-2821. The research institute also has one- week long advanced and specialty field seminars for biologists, researchers, graduate/undergraduate students, naturalists, artists, restoration specialists and natural resource managers.

Alan Davenport will examine some of those milestones and the evolution of the telescope leading to today’s space observatories and the proliferation of high-tech instruments in the hands of amateurs around the world.  Some very early and some very colorful astrophotography will illustrate the talk. Alan Davenport is Director of the Maynard F. Jordan Planetarium and Observatory at the University of Maine, where he has produced educational programs for more than 200,000 visitors over the past 25 years.
