Post Office delays leave seasonal residents News-less

Post Office delays leave seasonal residents News-lessJim and Sharon Aderman, like thousands of others, live in Lincoln County seasonally, splitting the year evenly between Damariscotta and Topeka, Kan. They began subscribing to The Lincoln County News 14 years ago.

In Oct. 2010, for the first time Sharon Aderman can remember, the Adermans didn't receive their newspaper. As of Dec. 28, they've received one October, two November and one December edition, some arriving out of sequence - for example, the Nov. 4 edition preceded the Oct. 28 edition by about a week.

For as long as two months, the Adermans didn't get a newspaper at all, Sharon Aderman, who writes the News' "Ponder and Stir" column, said. The Adermans have corresponded with office personnel at The Lincoln County News and contacted their postmasters in Damariscotta and Topeka - so far, to no avail.
