This week in Pictures

TO THE RESCUE … A man reportedly fell 18 feet last Thursday morning when a portion of the tree he was working on swung and knocked him from a ladder at Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf. Ambulance crews from the Bar Harbor Fire Department responded first, called LifeFlight to take the man to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor and cared for him until the helicopter arrived. Since the adjacent parking lot of Log Cabin Restaurant was not in use that time of day, “we were able to utilize that parking area as a landing zone for the LifeFlight helicopter,” said Captain John Sanders of the BHFD.

SLINGING SEAFOOD … Look for Rodick’s Seaside Takeout at their new spot on Carroll’s Hill in Southwest Harbor — just up the road from the food mart. Owned and operated by Eric and Terri Rodick, the food shack is open on Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 8 p.m. (when the family is not working the Blue Hill Fair). Lobsters sold at the takeout are provided by Eric and his daughter, Grace, who are both fishermen. Also on the menu are crab rolls, hot dogs, burgers and homemade blueberry lemonade.
