    The stockings are a Farmington (Maine) designer's unique creations and are knit with yarn from Norway (the country). How ironic is that for a Norway, Maine studio? They are such a perfect fit for Artful Hands that they had to stock them.

  • Residents urged to buy flood insurance

    Mar 10, 2011 12:01 am

    AUGUSTA — Flooding is always a threat to properties located within a floodplain, but even more so during winter’s river ice and spring rains. Many people believe that their homeowner’s or business owner’s insurance policy will cover any flood related losses but unfortunately, these insurance policies do not cover flood related damages. In order to receive insurance protection related to flood damage, property owners and renters are urged to purchase flood insurance. For more details on the policies available, contact your local insurance agent.
