Outdoors with Hutch: A look at logging
Logging sure has come a long way from the days when my father and his bothers chopped with double bladed axes and team horses. Today’s wood harvesting equipment is quite impressive and yields impressive results, but comes with a very hefty price tag. A lot of the bigger logging operations have snipers, chippers, de-limbers and […]
IF&W report: Thanking the volunteers

Bridgton recreational fields move closer to reality
A Bridgton nonprofit is another step closer to building new athletic fields that Recreation Director Phil Gutekunst feels are sorely needed. “There are too many teams trying to use the same fields at the same time,” Gutekunst said, adding that within two to three years he would expect to cut programs if more fields don’t […]
