Mary serves on the boards of two local organizations – Coastal Mountains Land Trust and Legal Services for the Elderly – and we had a chance to cover them both today.  We talked about the many ways in which Legal Services for the Elderly is helping elderly citizens from across the state overcome legal, credit, medicaid, and other issues.  Important work that will only grow more vital as Maine’s citizenry ages.  

On a lighter note, Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s, “Run for the Hills” event is coming up on September 11 in Belfast.  Run it to race or fun run / walk just to enjoy the view.  But, either way, be sure to register for this race through some of the Land Trust’s properties.  Enjoy!

Legal Services for the Elderly:  www.MaineLSE.org and their hotline: 1-800-750-5353.

Run for the Hills:  http://www.coastalmountains.org/news/runforthehills.html  September 11, registration starts at 7:00, race starts at 8:00. 

On that theme, we played running / walking songs today including:

Bruce Springsteen:  Born to Run

Tom Petty:  Running Down a Dream

U2:  Walk On (also our Gulf of Maine to Gulf of Mexico dedication)

Jackson Browne:  Running on Empty

Doobie Brothers:  It Keeps You Runnin’

I started “Making Maine” at the beginning of April and one of the things I really hoped to do was a wrap-up show every quarter.  It’s been so fun getting all these people in the studio, I barely even realized that I’m now in my 5th month of volunteer DJ’g at WRFR.  So, tomorrow’s the day.  If you’ve missed some shows or just want to get an idea of what it’s all about, this is a great chance to do so. 8-9 am, Friday mornings.  

Thanks for listening!

On Friday, I interviewed Maine country singer / songwriter, Wendell Austin. Wendell told a lot of great stories about his days growing up in the Maine woods and his life as it unfolded in music during his youth and days in the Air Force. He also gave us all a great idea for something to do this coming week and weekend – August 13th – 22nd – Medway, Maine’s 135th Birthday celebration!  Check it out at: http://www.medwaymaine.org/events.asp.  Thanks, Wendell for a great interview and for sharing your fun and inspiring Maine music.

We had time for 6 of Wendell’s songs.  Check them out on the podcast!  Enjoy!
