Survival is a way of life in Washington County, one of the poorest counties in Maine.
Here, people often hold down as many jobs as they can find, though jobs are scarce. They scrape a living from the woods, the blueberry barrens and the ocean. They are fishermen and farmers, wormdiggers and woodcutters, often living week to week on meager wages. When the ice storm swept in 10 days ago, obliterating the main line connecting the county to the power company in Bangor, most of the county was thrown into the dark and cold. They lost days of work and much-needed wages.
