Man Dies After Fireworks Accident By Jayna Smith

What was to be a fun cel-ebration of America's birthday turned fatal last Saturday night at a lower South Street resi-dence. Calais Police Depart-ment Sergeant Matt Vinson reported that at approximately 10:00 pm on July 4th, CPD, Calais Fire-EMS, and Maine State Police responded to a 911 call with a report of an accident

involving fireworks.Sergeant Vinson said that

upon arrival at the holiday party, Devon Staples, 22, of Calais, was deceased due to injuries he sustained from the explosives. He died instantly from a fatal head injury.

Witnesses at the scene said the man had held a mortar tube from the fireworks, lighting it off from his hands, just minutes before setting one off that he

had placed on his head. It is believed that alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.

Officers from Calais Police Department, Maine State Police and State Fire Marshall's Office remained on-scene until ap-proximately 1:30 a.m. Sunday, with assistance from Calais Fire-EMS.

The sale of fireworks in Maine became legal just two years ago; however, this was

the first death that resulted from fireworks use in the state since the legalization. The City of Calais adopted its fireworks or-dinance in September of 2014, allowing for use of consumer fireworks within specific areas on Friday and Saturday nights, from dusk to 10:00 pm.

As well, fireworks can be used on July 4th and December 31st beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 12:30 a.m. the fol-

lowing day, and on January 1st beginning at 9:00 a.m. and end-ing at 9:00 pm. The ordinance further allows use of fireworks on July 3rd and 5th when those days fall on a weekend. More details on Calais' Fireworks Ordinance can be found on the city's website, www.calais-maine.org.

Calais Fire-EMS Knocks Down Fire at Johnson's True Value

By Jayna Smith

Calais Fire-EMS was called to Johnson's True Value on North Street mid-morning Sunday to a fire in the back of the building. Fire Chief Robert Posick said, "Shortly before noon, we were called to Johnson's for a structure fire in the back of the build-ing coming primarily from the maintenance area. We got on scene and there was a heavy amount of smoke and fire visible near the back door. Our crews made a good knock down from the outside until we could assemble enough folks to go inside."

Staff and customers were quickly evacuated from the hardware store, and soon after from the adjacent Bell's IGA, while the initial arriving crew knocked the fire down from outside. "When St. Stephen (Fire Department) got on scene,

we were able to get inside and get more towards the seed of the fire," Chief Posick said. Also responding were crews from Oak Bay, Alexander, and Baileyville Fire Departments.

Crews remained on the scene until mid-afternoon. "We were there quite a few hours, digging the fire out," Chief Posick said. "It gets in the walls and in the ceilings and we've got to find that. We've got to pull that all out to find every last ember, every bit of it, and that takes quite a bit of time." Chief Posick said the amount of smoke slowed things down as well. "As large as that building is, it's hard to move the smoke out of the building. It took us a long time."

Chief Posick explained there is a fire wall separating John-son's True Value from Bell's IGA. "There is a fire wall but there are void spaces and open-ings in that fire wall in places

because Bell's IGA did receive smoke from the fire that was in Johnson's maintenance room. We had to clear that out as

well. We were there quite some time with fans in every opening on the front to try to get both cleared of smoke."

One firefighter on the scene was treated and released shortly thereafter at Calais Regional Hospital for unknown inju-

ries. No other injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is being investigated. "We did secure Johnson's yester-day evening for the State Fire Marshal to investigate," Chief Posick stated.

Representative Maker Succeeds in Having Detection and Prevention of Sexual Abuse Taught in Maine Schools

Robin Bouchard, her daughter Kayla Garriott, and Representative Joyce Maker at the State House (2012 photo provided by Kayla).

By Jayna Smith

Representative Joyce Maker (R-Calais) who represents Dis-trict 104 (Baileyville, Calais, Charlotte, Indian Township, Pleasant Point, Pembroke, Perry, Robbinston, and Baring) recently announced that the bill she sponsored, LD 1180, "an act to require education in public preschool programs and elementary schools regard-ing child sexual abuse," has passed. Initially vetoed by Governor LePage, that veto was overridden and the bill will become a law. Representative Maker was the principal spon-sor with 9 cosponsors.

According to the bill's sum-mary, the basic course of study for elementary schools begin-ning in the 2016-2017 school year, must include age-ap-propriate instruction on child sexual abuse detection and prevention for all students enrolled in public preschool programs and kindergarten to grade 5. Schools will be required to develop a preven-tion plan that will include a written local policy and an implementation plan for the education programs, policies, and procedures.

Robbinston-native Kayla Garriott, who now resides in Colorado, was more than hap-py to learn of the passing of this bill. Kayla has become well-known not only locally but nationally as well after speak-ing out about her own survival of sexual abuse. Founder of the non-profit organization she named "Breathe the AIR (Abuse, Incest, Rape), Kayla turned her own very negative experience into a positive one by helping others and raising awareness for sexual abuse, incest, and rape. Kayla was one who provided testimony for this bill.

"When I first started Breathe the AIR, I wanted to create a network of resources. One of those resources was Joyce who shared the passion that education on child sexual abuse needed to be present in our schools to teach our students," Kayla said. "It means every-thing that the children of Maine will now be educated and be given a voice on what child sexual abuse is. "

Kayla is confident that this law will allow more children who fall victims to sexual abuse to have a voice. "With education being provided, children will now be able to understand good touch versus bad touch, be educated on their bodies and how they belong to them, and understand what is appropriate. I hope that this

changes the way our society views sexual abuse as a whole and that it is no longer a crime we can turn a blind eye," she said, adding, "I'm proud that I was able to take part in this process and so thankful that Joyce represented a voice to all survivors and pushed for this in the State of Maine."

Representative Maker initi-ated this bill five years ago. "I received a letter from Erin Merryn who was trying to put in this kind of program throughout the United States, and at the same time, we had

Kayla trying to just put it in every school in the State of Maine. I went with Kayla when she did a couple of presenta-tions at local high schools, and it convinced me that someone needed to help to get this into the schools," Representative Maker explained.

"My first effort was to put to-gether a Task Force to work on a curriculum but as mentioned in my testimony to the com-mittee, the effort was passed by the House and the Senate and in fact, the first time was signed by the Governor, but

the work was never achieved. I just couldn't let it go after talking to so many people who had been abused when they were children and every day there was story on the news or on the newspaper about yet another child being abused. I decided to just go for it and put a bill in that would require Edu-cation in Public Preschool and Elementary Schools Regarding Sexual Abuse and it would be age appropriate," Representa-tive Maker said.

Represen ta t ive Maker stressed that this bill is NOT related to sexual education, where students are taught about their reproductive systems. "This is completely different," she said. "This teaches kids the difference between safe and unsafe secrets, safe and unsafe touches, how to speak up and tell on the silent epidemic we as a society fail to address." She added, "It has been a long jour-ney, but we finally got there."

Emotions Run High at Robbinston School Board Meeting

By Dorothy Johnson

Emotions ran high at the July 1st Robbinston School Board Meeting as both sides of the school closing issue had their say, asked questions and searched for answers to the 2015-2016 budget numbers. The meeting was attended by approximately 50 residents as well as School Board mem-bers, Joe Footer, Julie Murray and James Trainer, Interim Superintendent for the Calais Schools Ray Freve, who was working his first official day on the job, and the Calais Special Education Director and Calais Elementary School Principal Sue Carter.

Chair Joe Footer led the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence and then went off the agenda to give his views of the situation. Previously, the town had held a non-binding vote on closing the school. The ballot required a yes or no vote to the question, “Do you want to close Robbinston Grade School and send all elementary students to Calais Elementary School?” With one hundred and ninety eligible Robbinston voters reporting to the polls, one hun-dred and ten voted to close the school and eighty voters voted to keep the school open. Even though this was a non-binding vote, Chair Joe Footer used the majority vote to put forth the decision to close the school.

Footer gave these reasons for closing the school: students have left the school to attend other elementary schools leav-ing only 35 students at the grade school, the high cost of running the school for so few students, the possibility that the education being offered at Rob-binston Grade School might be less than adequate and lack of support from the town.

Proponents of keeping the school open wanted to have other options such as sending the older students to Calais Middle School and keeping

the younger students in town or rechecking the budget to see if the numbers actually show the true picture of the tax burden, which operating the school would put on the town or if the mil rate being bandied about was accurate.

A resident brought up the question of whether or not Julie Murray had a conflict of interest in the voting because she works in the Calais Superintendent’s office. Mrs. Murray said that she had asked that question and was told it was not a problem. It was unclear at the meeting who was asked for this infor-mation. Superintendent Freve said he would speak to the Commissioner of Education, the Maine Superintendents’ Association and Maine School Management to get their input on the question.

Resident Dan Merryfield had all three copies of the budgets that have been distributed by the school board and developed by the AOS central office in Eastport. “These three budgets are all different,” said Mer-ryfield. “How can we vote on this when we do not have the correct numbers? The latest budget passed in Augusta will give Robbinston more subsi-dies from the state. Where are those numbers?”

Mr. Freve explained that true numbers are elusive because of the many unknowns in a budget. He said that he with the board would work on get-ting truer numbers for the next meeting.

Footer was asked who wrote the first letter that was mailed to residents. He answered that he and First Selectman Tom Mo-holland had written it. Footer was then asked why he did not sign the letter. His answer was unclear but he said that Moholland had all of the town numbers at his disposal.

Another resident asked why the students had to go to Calais. Footer answered that he had spoken to other schools i.e. Charlotte, Perry, Pembroke

and chose Calais. When Mrs. Murray and Trainer were asked if they had explored these other school options, they both an-swered, “No.”

Footer said that no negotia-tions had been held with Calais. When he was reminded that representatives from Calais had said that if Robbinston would send a certain number of students to them, they would waive the cost of the first year’s expenses in the central office, he had no answer. One resident said that that deal sounded like a negotiation to her. Mr. Freve said he knew nothing of the agreement.

The school board then re-turned to the agenda. Item 1. “Vote to close Robbinston Grade School (due to lack of need-statutory language; sup-porting Town of Robbinston pursuant to June 15th, 2015 non-binding)” Footer made this motion. Mrs. Murray seconded the motion. Footer and Murray voted for the motion. Trainer voted against the motion.

Item 2. “To consider elimina-tion of the following positions (Based on a Change in Local Conditions): a. Continuing Contract Teachers (90 day provision effective starting July1, 2015) Footer made this

motion. Murray seconded the motion. Footer and Murray voted for the motion. Trainer voted against the motion. B. Probationary Contract Teach-ers. Footer made this motion. Murray seconded the motion. Footer and Murray voted for the motion. Trainer voted against the motion. C. Support Staff. Footer made this motion. Murray seconded this mo-tion. Murray and Footer voted for the motion. Trainer voted against the motion.

Item 4. Vote to enter into a tuition contract with Calais school Department for Elemen-tary Education. Footer made the motion. Murray seconded the motion. Footer and Murray voted for the motion. Trainer voted against the motion.

Meeting adjourned. After the meeting a petition to have another vote by the town was circulated by Tom Mohol-land. Ten percent of voters participating in the last gu-bernatorial election numbered twenty-eight. Thirty-six resi-dents signed the petition. The signatures were checked as actual Robbinston residents by Cathy Footer. Subsequently, the petition was turned in to the proper authorities.

U.S. Cellular Adds New Cell Sites To Increase Wireless Network Coverage In Washington County

U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) continues to expand the avail-ability of its high-quality 4G LTE service with two new cell sites in Cutler and Princeton. The new site in Cutler will bring new coverage in the towns of Cutler and Whiting, The new tower in Princeton will bring new coverage to the towns of Princeton, Big Lake Township, Crawford, Alexan-der, Passamaquoddy Indian Township, and Grand Lake Stream. The new towers are two of more than 380 sites U.S. Cellular has built across the state. The towers are built by U.S. Cellular with the support of the federal Universal Service

Fund, a critical resource for wireless expansion throughout rural America.

“At U.S. Cellular, we focus on providing the best wireless experience for our customers in Washington County through a high-quality network with na-tional coverage along with the latest 4G LTE devices,” said Matt Kasper, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in New Eng-land. “We care about our local communities, and we will con-tinue to invest in our network so your phone works whether you are in your backyard or across the country.”

U.S. Cellular keeps custom-ers connected to a 4G LTE

network with devices for a variety of consumer and busi-ness needs that include smart-phones, such as the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S 6, tablets, such as the iPad Air 2, as well as hotspots, vehicle monitoring, home phone solu-tions and machine-to machine (M2M) technology.

To select locations for new cell sites, U.S. Cellular has teams of system performance engineers who drive through the company’s network cover-age area, sometimes hundreds of miles a day, to test the signal strength and call quality. The company also listens to cus-tomer feedback to help identify

the communities that would benefit from another cell site.

Knock on Wood Rebuild Has Begun

Crews at the Knock on Wood site in Baring begin the rebuilding process. (Photo by Jayna Smith)

By Jayna Smith

It's always great to see new businesses come to the area, and it's also great to see one rebuild. Knock on Wood, owned by Candy Bridges, has always been a popular gift shop, drawing shoppers from all over to its unique Christmas shop, delicious fudge, Yankee Candles, and other unique gifts. After losing it all to a fire back in February, Bridges is pleased to announce that the rebuild has begun.

Shoppers will still get to experience all the wonderful things Knock on Wood of-fered prior to the devastating fire, only more will be offered. "Women like accessories," Bridges said, as indicative of the store sales in that area. "The ladies accessories is where we are really trying to buff it up this time."

Additionally, Bridges will expand in other areas. "We'll have a little clothing boutique and expand the jewelry section as well," she said, while still keeping the items loved by so many, including the Yankee Candles, Willow Tree, Maine wines and beer, and of course the year-round Christmas shop. "It's going to have a lot of the same things that people like to get for gift items."

Another feature many will enjoy at Knock on Wood is the cafe area. No longer will the husbands and significant others be prone to waiting in the car. This welcoming cafe area of the new store will offer the famous fudge and coffee, as well as some other sweets. And down the road, ice cream will be available.

"The new building will be a one-story," Bridges stated, adding that the square footage

will decrease from 8000 to 5000. Much of that prior space, she said, was area for storage. "This will be more of an open store plan." Bridges explained she has already been meeting with her representatives and

is excited to have quite a few items ordered already.

For the rebuild, Bridges is go-ing local as much as possible. She explained, "T&P Construc-tion is digging the footer and should be done within the next

couple of days. Pearly Gray (of Gray's Concrete) is going to do the foundation for us. We've got Sheridan Corpora-tion going to build the building. Local contractors will be doing the inside carpentry work." On top of all of that, the lumber and supplies are coming locally from EBS, and local plumbers and electricians will be hired.

"We're hoping to be done by the end of October and be open for Christmas," Bridges said.

Mark Cook, President of Widows Sons - Wayfarers Chapter, who, along with Vice-President Dick Ramsey, has organized the club's

Bike Run to Benefit Sarah's House Slated for July 18th By Jayna Smith

Riding motorcycles is a fa-vorite past-time to many, and now, thanks to Mark Cook of Eastport and Dick Ramsey of Calais, there is a new club to be enjoyed by area Masons, the Widows Sons - Wayfarers Chapter.

The Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association is an In-ternational Association. It welcomes all Masons who love motorcycling and who have a desire to ride and associate with their fraternal brothers. Cook and Ramsey decided last year to put together the club, and since just last August, have already attracted 8 others with many more preparing to join. Cook serves as president, while Ramsey is vice-president.

The Wayfarers Chapter is not a "gang," although they do wear their club's identifying patches and of course leather, the preferred material for mo-torcyclists for safety because of its flexibility and durability. What sets this group apart from other "clubs" is that its mem-bers are required to represent the Masons in a positive light at all times, raising awareness and supporting the lodges. As well, each Widows Sons Chap-ter sponsors or participates in local charity runs or events, Cook explained.

"We are Masons who like to ride bikes, and we raise money for charities. Every chapter has to have a charity to support and I said if we ever get (a chapter) going, it would be for Sarah's House," Cook stated. Sarah's

House of Maine, located in Holden, provides residential housing for those with cancer receiving treatment at East-ern Maine Medical Center. "Sarah's House is a Godsend," he added.

In an effort to support Sarah's House of Maine, the Wayfar-ers Chapter will host its first charity ride on Saturday, July 18th. The ride will start from Washington Community Col-lege at 10:00 a.m. and continue to Machias via Route 191. Af-ter a brief gathering at Dunkin Donuts, it will proceed back to Calais across scenic Route 192 to 9, before ending back at WCCC. The ride is open to anyone who loves to ride and wants to support a great cause, including those traveling in cars. The cost to participate is $20 per bike or car.

The second charity ride spon-sored by the Wayfarers Chapter

will be held dur-ing International Homecoming Fes-tival on Sunday, August 9th. "You don't have to be a Widows Sons or a Mason," Cook said, "You just have to ride a bike (or car) and want to support a good cause."

More information about the Chapter and its rides can be obtained by contacting Mark Cook at 853-4888 or Dick Ramsey at 454-3809.

Three Persons Convicted of Unemployment FraudResidents of Sedwick, Calais

and Bangor have each been convicted on separate charges of fraudulently collecting unem-ployment insurance. Unemploy-ment benefit fraud involving principal amounts of $1,000 or more is a felony under Maine law.

“Although some may say that fraud in our benefit systems is ‘anecdotal,’ my administration knows that this crime diverts resources from the people who need them,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “The Depart-ment of Labor has consistently worked over the past five years to improve the conviction rate of

people committing unemploy-ment fraud, preserving the ben-efits for people who are trying to get back to work. Ignoring fraud would burden Maine businesses by forcing them to pay higher unemployment taxes to fund the fraudulent benefits.”

Kristen Rogde of Sedgwick was convicted on Apr. 9, 2015, of theft by deception for fraudu-lently receiving unemployment insurance payments and of un-employment fraud by making a false statement in her claim. Rodge, 49, worked and earned wages while collecting benefits. For the first count, Rodge was sentenced to 10 months in pris-

on, suspended, and two years of probation. She was sentenced on the second count to 120 hours of community service to be performed during the period of probation. She was ordered to pay $3,500 in restitution, although the total amount of the original theft was $9,974.

Sean Stinson of Calais was convicted on Mar. 9, 2015 of theft by deception and unem-ployment fraud for collecting unemployment insurance pay-ments while working and earn-ing wages. Stinson, 43, was sentenced to 9 months, all but 45 days suspended, and for the second count he was given 30

days concurrent with the first count with one year probation applicable to both counts. He was ordered to pay $7,882 in restitution.

Scott Hunt of Bangor was convicted on July 24, 2013 of theft by deception for fraudu-lently receiving unemployment insurance payments while work-ing and earning wages. Hunt, 41, faces a sentence of 7 days of incarceration, concurrent with an operating after suspen-sion sentence, with a deferred disposition. He has been ordered to pay $1,077 in restitution.

“We will not tolerate unem-ployment fraud,” stated Com-missioner of Labor Jeanne Paquette. “Our investigators continue to identify and move felony cases to prosecution. To date in 2015, we have had 22 convictions and recovered through prosecution more than $67,000 in fraudulent payments with an additional $6,473 in penalties and interest; 79 fraud cases are pending with DAs.”

In 2012, a total of 15 cases were referred to district attor-neys for prosecution, resulting in five convictions. In 2013, the department referred 88 cases; in 2014, the department referred 84 cases with 34 convictions to date.

“Fraud prosecution and pre-vention is a priority. We con-tinuously improve our reporting systems, obtaining information more quickly and identifying potential fraud earlier than ever before,” Commissioner Paquette said. “Once identified, we can

recover the funds through vol-untary payments, prosecution, wage garnishments, offset of unemployment benefits and in-tercepts of federal and state tax returns and lottery winnings.”

The commissioner explained what constitutes fraud. “For people claiming benefits, unem-ployment insurance fraud usu-ally involves someone misrep-resenting information to qualify for benefits,” she said. “In these cases, individuals continued to claim benefits after returning to work. In other cases, individu-als might report that they are looking for work when they are not, or they might report having contacted employers in their search for work that they did not actually contact. Some may file claims under false pretenses.”

To identify when people re-ceiving benefits are hired for permanent work, the department cross-matches the list of active claimants against the National Directory of New Hires, the national wage records database and against employer-reported quarterly wage data.

The Department of Labor ac-tively pursues the collection of benefit overpayments and any associated fines and interest. The collection process usually be-gins by contacting claimants to request repayment or establish a repayment schedule.

On the employer side of the unemployment system, fraud includes intentional misclassifi-cation of employees as indepen-dent contractors, misreporting worker wages to avoid payment

188 North St., Calais / 454-2551

of unemployment taxes and “SUTA dumping,” a rate ma-nipulation practice for obtaining a lower tax rate than a compa-ny’s unemployment experience would otherwise allow.

Citizens can report instances of suspected unemployment fraud by phone, email, fax or mail; information is available at www.maine.gov/labor/unem-ployment/fraud.html . Tips can be kept confidential.

Women's Dive Day in Eastport Set for July 18th

Red Sleigh Boutique Grand Opening

The Red Sleigh Boutique in Perry held their Grand Opening on Wednesday, July 1 from noon to 5:00 p.m. At 4:00 p.m. Diva Aboyda Stragg (right, pictured with owner Georgie Kendall) was there to meet customers. (Photo by Amy Jeanroy).

Celebrating great diving off the shores of Eastport, Maine and Deer Island, New Brunswick will take place on Saturday, July 18th when the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, COJO Diving, Inc. of New Bruns-wick, and The Commons and Landmark 1887 present Women's Dive Day in East-port.

Certified divers, as well as those interested in learning more about diving are invited to participate. Especially designed for women and girls who want to dive or learn more, Women's Dive Day will launch at 10:00 a.m. EST with a brunch buffet and underwa-ter photographic presentation at Landmark 1887, 32 Water Street in Eastport. Reserva-tions for the day's events are $15.00 per person, $12.00 for girls aged 10-17. Reser-vations can be made online at Eventbrite or by calling COJO Diving at 1-855-646-2656. Call The Commons for more information at 207-853-4123.

Following the buffet and photographic presentation, the dive will commence at the site of the former American Steamship Wharf between the American Can Company building and Quoddy Bay Lobster on Sea Street. All certified divers are welcome to join the dive and must have their certification cards present. A dive instructor will accompany the group as well as be onshore to meet with persons wanting to learn more about diving in the area. Connie Bishop, Co-Owner

of COJO Diving in Lincoln, New Brunswick will be lead-ing the day's events.

Passamaquoddy Bay has a world class reputation as a magnificent diving area, often referred to as having the best diving north of the Florida Keys and the Cape Cod area. "The marine life in this area is unique because of the extreme 'nutrient rich' tides that rush past a complex underwater topography of reefs and walls," said Bishop. "The result is a concentra-tion and variety of colorful animal and plant life that form an extremely active and healthy ecosystem. It is liter-ally a macro photographer's dream!"

Eastport area waters are well known to New England and Canada's East coast divers as offering incredible Bay of Fundy marine life, especially related to the beautiful under-water walls. Internationally known marine photographer, cinematographer, director and television host, Jonathan Bird, author of Beneath the North Atlantic, and an Emmy award winner for his PBS television program and and video teaching series "Jona-than Bird's Blue World, has a summer home in Eastport and frequently hosts divers.

Canadian photographers Jerry Shine and Andrew Mar-tinez regularly spend time in the area supporting their marine life identification publications. Marine Biology classes from Northeastern University in Massachusetts have come to this area for nearly forty years for hands

on marine research. Maine Boats, Homes and Harbors has included the area in their publications as has The Work-ing Waterfront.

"This is a perfect time for women divers from Maine and Canada to come together to enjoy this fabulous diving area that is still unknown to many divers, and to learn more about the sports of diving and underwater pho-tography," concluded Connie Bishop, the day's coordina-tor. " We look forward to a great Women's Dive Day in Eastport."

All the Feels: Pixar turns you “Inside Out”By Kaileigh Deacon

Sometimes when attending a movie the audience you’re stuck with can make or break it. A baby crying during a romantic comedy or a phone light through a horror movie, (or any movie really, I mean come on it’s just rude) can ruin your experience. Likewise the right audience can make all the difference. When I went to the movies to watch Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out” there was a room full of parents and children and for a while I thought it would take away from the movie but

it just made the experience bet-ter. When the lights faded and the short that aired before the movie finished one little girl’s voice broke the silence “This is it!” she said excitedly and the tone for the movie was set.

“Inside Out” is the newest Disney-Pixar animated film that looks at what goes on in people’s heads and how their emotions affect their lives. The focus is on one girl named Riley who for the majority of the film is an eleven year old. Riley is moving from Minne-sota to San Francisco and has a hard time like most preteen

would. The movie focuses on five main emotions, joy, dis-gust, anger, fear, and sadness and Riley’s life is thrown into further chaos when joy and sadness go missing along with her core memories that build her personality.

This movie like most Dis-ney-Pixar has something for everyone parents and children alike. Parents will recognize a lot of the actors voicing the characters. You’ll find yourself saying, “ I know that voice from somewhere,” and you do. With a cast that included Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Diane

Lane, and Lewis Black among many others. There are also references to growing up and the challenges it entails that those who have gone through it will find funny.

Kids will love this movie be-cause it is just flat out entertain-ing. Disney-Pixar has created a great movie. The kids will get attached to the characters and get excited at all the dif-ferent things that happen. The story line is easy to follow but yet complex enough to keep people of all ages engaged and entertained.

This is not just another car-toon movie that will keep children entertained for a few hours so their parents can get chores done but it will teach them something too. This mov-ie helps kids understand what goes on in their heads and how emotions make us do different things. Kids will also learn about things like moving, fam-ily, and imagination helping them to better understand what is going on inside of them.

“Inside Out.” Is an outstand-ing movie that will pull you in from the beginning and keep you right there until the end. You will fall in love with the characters both real and emo-tional and hoping that there is more after the hour and a half of the movie’s length. The movie is appropriate for all ages and I say as long as you

think they can stay still through the movie take them, everyone will enjoy it. There is a short at the beginning of the movie that may bore some of the real young ones but it involves signing so they might be ok.

Overall I give this movie a 10 out of 10 rating. It is just well rounded entertainment for the whole family and will have your emotions fighting for the control panel.

July promises to be a busy month at the Calais Free Library. Lunch with the Librarian is offered each Tuesday from 11:30 am to 12:30. Everyone is encouraged to bring their lunch and join us each week for a different hero visitor. During our different programs, we will meet two Veterans, a Police Officer, a Fire Fighter, and a Moosehorn Conservationist. This program is geared toward students ages five and older. Games, crafts, and activities will be part of the fun.

The Wiggles and Giggles program is being offered all this month. Little ones ages 0 to 5 are welcome to join us on Friday mornings from 10:30 am to 11:00. This month, we will be mak-ing flags, picnic bags, Pete the Cat and dinosaurs. We will be singing, dancing, crafting and of course enjoying a storybook each week.

On Friday, July 24, starting at 4 pm, the library will host our monthly Friday Family Matinee. We cannot tell you the name of the movie because of license agreements, but if folks call and ask, we can tell you over the phone. Watch our Facebook page and Miss Becky will give us some hints. The movie will definitely go along with our summer reading theme: Every Hero Has a Story! Be ready for some popcorn, some lemonade and an action packed film!

Remember all you builders that Library Lego Club will be on Saturday, July 11, starting at 11 am and running until 12:30. Miss Joyce is very excited about club this month because the library received a large donation of Legos from Lego Systems, Inc. and the Association of Library Services to Children. Our Lego club is now part of the Junior Maker Program. If you are in the library, take a few moments to wander upstairs and check out last club’s cool creations.

There is still plenty of time to get signed up for summer read-ing. Miss Joyce has a chart to track the number of books read by different age groups. See if you can help kids in your age group read the most. The treasure box is full of neat prizes for family readers and independent readers to collect a prize for hours read. See Miss Joyce or Miss Becky for all the details!

In the Art Gallery, we are hosting a special show by Catherine Nichole photography called Majestic Moon and Skies. Treat yourself to photographs of “the celestial, ethereal, magical moon and the rich, colorful skies” (Catherine Howland) captured by our visiting photographer.

Out and About By Dorothy Johnson

The weather for the Fourth of July weekend was just about as perfect as anyone could expect. The parades that were scheduled went off without a hitch and many area residents were able to attend the celebration. The accident with fireworks in Calais and the fire and smoke damage at Johnson’s True Value and Bell’s IGA brought down a pall over an otherwise good weekend. The collective heart of the com-munity goes out to those who suffered loss.

Former Dragons Josie Wallace and Camille Howard attended Dirigo Girls’ state in June to help with this year’s rising seniors. Both Josie and Camille went to Girls’ State last year. They were sponsored by the W. T. Wren American Legion Auxiliary.

The Baileyville Town Meet-ing went as planned a couple of weeks ago. All but one article were passed including the school budget. The residents voted against taking over approxi-mately 400 feet of the Bear Cove Road. Down East Ambulance was voted to continue its cover-age in the Baileyville area.

Congratulations to Alec Mc-Gaw and Camille Howard, both from the Woodland High School Class of 2015, for receiving a Machias Savings. Bank Scholar-ship for the coming school year. Alec plans to study music educa-tion while Camille is enrolling in studies in television production.

Readers are reminded of the Public Baked bean and Casse-role Dinner at the Charlotte Fire Station on Wednesday, July 8th from 5:30 to 7 pm. Proceeds will benefit the Charlotte Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.

The Charlotte Fire Department Auxiliary voted to hold another yard sale on Friday, August 21 from 2 to 7 pm and Saturday, August 22 from 9 am until 2pm. This time there will be no clothes and no bake sale, but hot dogs and drinks will be for sale. The Charlotte Fire and Rescue Department Auxiliary honored their charter members on their 40th anniversary of the group by having a float in the Pembroke Fourth of July parade. Those who were able and interested rode on the float.

By Lura Jackson

With the future of the Rob-binston School now being de-bated, the opportunity is upon us to turn an eye toward its past. Far from being a simple story of the provision of basic education on Maine’s fron-tier, Robbinston’s scholastic history is brimming with strong characters with bold dreams as well as nationally-renowned figures.

To understand the char-acter of Robbinston’s early education system, it helps to understand a bit about the town’s history. The land that now comprises the town was first purchased by Edward H. Robbins in 1786, a Massachu-setts man that saw potential in the rugged, heavily wooded landscape. At his behest, twelve enterprising men and their families made their way to what would become Rob-binston, among them Abel Brooks.

“They didn’t have many buildings at first,” Helen Brooks says. Brooks has been a Robbinston resident for her entire life, and she main-tains a significant amount of the town’s historical ar-chives. She now lives in a rustic hemlock farmhouse that has been in the Brooks family for generations. The home was originally owned by the great-grandfather of

her late husband, Gordon Edward Brooks—himself a great-grandfather to thirteen children.

Without a schoolhouse building, the first lessons were typically taught by women in the homes of residents. No textbooks existed yet, and the sole teaching material was the Bible. Despite the precarious and difficult conditions of the earliest years, the town demonstrated its commitment to its future by starting its first formal school program in 1795. The first building used for school was located at Liberty Point, though Brooks points out that it was neces-sary to use it for multiple purposes such as church and town meetings.

Once the quality of the local wood was determined to be ideal for ship-building, the town began to prosper. It soon became the center of trade for nearby villages such as the newly-formed Calais. Dedi-cated one-room schoolhouses were erected including the Maple Point School toward Pembroke, the Northern Dis-trict School toward Calais, the West District School, and the Ridge School. Teachers of future prestige such as Han-nibal Hamlin, vice President to Abraham Lincoln, began to make their appearance in the school system. Hamlin taught at the Ridge School

from 1832-1833. By 1886, a total of six

schoolhouses stood in Rob-binston. There were two sessions of school: one in the summer for the younger children, taught by women, and one in the winter for the older children, taught by men. The men were paid $15 a month for their services while women received $5.50. In the early 1900s, female teachers were bound by contracts that dictated their conduct. The contracts required that the teacher never wear less than two petticoats, never wear dresses more than two inches above the ankle, never dye her hair or smoke cigarettes, to wear dark colored clothes, to be home from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. unless she was at school or a related meeting, to get a good night’s sleep every night, to sweep the schoolhouse daily

and scrub it once a week, to start a fire each morning, and to never go out with men or get married while involved in teaching.

During this time period, children used slates for their work as well as paper made from rags and ink made from the bark of the swamp maple tree. It was up to the parents to send their children to school with firewood for the stove; those that sent the most got to sit the closest to the hot stove while those who brought none would sometimes be sent home for the day.

Brooks began to attend the two-room Village School in the 1940s. “You’d walk to school—we never had any snow days, and the snow would be waist-high. There was no indoor plumbing. There were no hot lunches and no electricity.” Drink-

ing water was collected by older students in a pail that students dipped tin cups into. “We never got sick like kids do these days.” The Village School was divided into two rooms, one for grades 1-4 and one for grade 5-8, with a single teacher in each room.

One of Brooks’s teachers was Leonora Harvell, a Rob-binston native that committed herself to the students of the town. Brooks has two hand-written documents Harvell wrote to the town addressing the need of a modern school-house due to the lack of ame-nities in the old single-room buildings, some of which had already been torn down. Har-vell passionately states her case, imploring the selectmen to recognize the importance of the community’s youth. “Without vision, the people perish,” Harvell reminds her readers. During her decades as a teacher, Harvell com-posed multiple plays for the school to perform including one detailing the history of Robbinston to that point.

In 1950, Harvell saw her dream brought into creation with the erection of an “ultra-modern grade school” at a cost of $41,185. The town of Robbinston had about 500 people at the time, and it was noted that fewer students were enrolled in the single school at its opening than the 120 enrolled in the six schoolhouses at the turn of the century.

The school system of Rob-binston operated harmonious-ly until 1969, when the school board decided not to rehire a teacher by the name of Susan Tureen. Several members of the community disagreed with the decision, and a move-ment was launched to create a new school by the name of “Our School”. Brooks was among the organizers of Our

School, which was based on the American Free School movement. “We dealt with children as individuals who advanced when they were ready,” Brooks said. No tests or grades were given, and emphasis was placed on prac-tical and creative learning. The school was completely free for students to attend as a result of grants, and many of the teachers worked for free. The school was run by its teachers and parents rather than by the school board and Superintendent’s office. Along with Susan Tireen, its teachers included Yale National Scholar Richard E. Spalding and present-day governor of Colorado John Hickenlooper. Initially, Our School was located in an abandoned fish factory until a new building was donated for the cause. The new move-ment was contentious nation-ally and locally and Brooks and her husband often feared they would be jailed. Despite the unrest, Our School lasted for eleven years, and Brooks said that programs like it led the way for alternative and homeschool movements in the country. Since its closure, Brooks began volunteering at the new grade school, earning her the statewide Jean John-son award on two occasions (including the 2014-2015 school year).

In 1986, the new school building received an addition to enable students to have an indoor gymnasium and cafeteria, a stage, a library, and a gifted and talented room. Since that time, Rob-binston has continued to of-fers its students a creative curriculum that integrates practical hands-on learning with a small community en-vironment. In many ways, the school and its history are synonymous with the town’s, evolving directly alongside it. “The heart of the community is the school,” Brooks said. Whether or not the Robbin-ston School continues, the legacy of the town’s teachers and students will always be a part of its history.

UMM Nationally Recognized for Student Affairs, Liberal Arts and Online EducationThe University of Maine at

Machias has received national recognition in three areas - online educational services, liberal arts education and the quality of its student affairs office.

UMM has been noted as one of the top 250 liberal arts col-leges in the country, according to Washington Monthly Maga-

that 28 percent of Pell Grant recipients would graduate, 34 percent actually did.

UMM’s reputation for com-munity service is well known in Washington County, where a large number of local projects have either been initiated or propelled by UMM students. These include major mapping projects by students in Dr. Tora Johnson’s GIS (Geographic In-formation Services) Program, local food drives and volunteer work for civic organizations, collaborations on research and studies with area high schools.

“UMM continues to rank high among its peers in educa-tion, research and community service,” President Joyce Hed-lund said. “Our faculty and staff are dedicated to insuring the best quality education for our students, and that is clearly represented throughout our programs and courses. The on-line programs and the work of Student Affairs are also essen-tial parts of a comprehensive support for our students.”

Affordable Colleges Online, established in 2011, ranks more than 600 top universities in the US, Canada and Great Britain in areas such as financial aid, opportunities for veterans and people with disabilities and online learning resources. AFO has placed UMM on its list of the Best Online Colleges in Maine for 2015, ranking it 3rd of 10 Maine colleges.

“Online learning at the Uni-versity of Maine at Machias provides students with a rich learning experience as they work to gain a bachelor’s degree in program areas such as psychology and commu-nity studies or business and entrepreneurial studies,” AFO

announced. “The Bachelor of Studies Program offers online learners a unique option to create a specialized degree program designed by them, for them.”

UMM has also been recog-nized in a joint study by the American College Personnel Association and Diverse, a journal of higher education, as one of the country’s Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs. UMM is featured in the June edition of Diverse. Data that were used to rank UMM included number of full and part time employ-ees, percentage of women, minorities, LGBT and disabled

employees, average salary and structural diversity.

Dr. Melvin Adams, UMM’s Dean of Students and Admis-sions, said “It is an honor to receive this recognition from a highly respected and innova-tive organization, American College Personnel Association. Our Student Affairs staff is exemplary in numerous ways. They are committed to student empowerment, creation of diverse learning opportunities, and engagement with students to explore the true meaning of diversity and inclusion. It is a honor to work with an innova-tive and dedicated group of professionals.”

Pancake Breakfast In Cooper

zine. Unlike other ranking systems, the magazine evalu-ates and ranks the top schools based on their “contribution to the public good.”

According to its web site, Washington Monthly evalu-ates each school’s contribution based on three broad catego-ries: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship), and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).

UMM’s strongest category is social mobility, where it ranks 5th in the nation. UMM's high ranking in this category illus-trates the college's success at helping lower-income students achieve a college degree, de-spite the challenges faced by many of those students. While UMM had predicted in 2014 The Cooper Community

Center on Rte. 191 will be the scene of the Cathance Lake As-sociation's (CLA) sixth annual pancake breakfast on Saturday, July 11 from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. The theme for this year is "WOW! All you can eat!" at the same old-fashioned low prices: $5.00 adult, $3.00 child, and $15.00 family of four.

The chefs in the kitchen will be creating pancakes to or-der: blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips and plain, with bacon or sausage, and - this year - starring genuine 100% maple syrup! Special sweet treats, and juice, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate will round out the menu.

A special bonus, a 50-50, will be offered at the door, and the CLA "Shoppe" will be open offering hats, totes, tee shirts, and sweat jackets, in a large selection of colors and sizes, all bearing the specially embroidered logo of a loon on Cathance Lake. Also for sale will be the Lake Cookbook.

The mission of the Cathance Lake Association, with more than one hundred members, is to keep the lake one of the

top five most pristine lakes in Maine. To that end, the CLA sponsors a number of pro-grams: courtesy boat inspec-tion at the lake's boat landing to prevent invasive species of plants and animals from entering the lake, testing for e-coli, oxygen levels, and water transparency by professional marine biologists, a recently launched program of building loon nesting platforms to help protect loons from predators, party boat excursions to enjoy the beauty of the lake, and much more.

Cobscook Community HS Builds Benches and Bike Racks in Lubec

(Photo by Dylan Pardue). (Photo by Melissa Lee).

Cobscook Community High School (CCHS) students were out and about in May working to install bike racks and build benches in Lubec. “Commu-nity projects are a key part of our experience,” says CCHS lead teacher Kara McCrim-mon. “We have a course called ‘Living and Learning in Com-munity’ where students apply their classroom experiences to meaningful community proj-ects. We’re grateful when com-munity partners approach us to connect with local efforts. ”

One of the efforts was a project that students started last year with Downeast Coastal Conservancy to develop a trail system at the Klondike Moun-tain Preserve. Lindsay McMa-hon, Conserved Lands Man-ager for the Downeast Coastal Conservancy, guided students in designing and building two benches for the popular pre-serve. According to McMahon, “It was a rewarding experience to work with this group of teens, teaching them a skill and watching their confidence grow over the course of the project. Projects like these really teach students the importance of working as a group in addition to skills like how to use power tools and design something functional.”

CCHS students also stepped in to help complete bike rack installations in Lubec. Melissa Lee, Regional Steward with Maine Coast Heritage Trust, approached the students to line up help in completing the project. According to Lee, “Maine Coast Heritage Trust was pleased to take on the

coordination of a collaborative community project to purchase and install bike racks in Lubec. It’s important infrastructure needed to encourage kids and adults to ride bicycles more around town. Additionally, it’s a small step our community can take to improve our health and reduce the use of fossil fuels. This was a true community ef-fort, with help and support from the Lubec Elementary School, Lubec Memorial Library, Ly-ons IGA, local contractor Jason Evasius, Downeast Coastal Conservancy and the Cobscook Community High School.”

“Learning how to make benches and install bike racks

taught us important skills that we can used in other parts of our life,” says CCHS student Augustus Look. “And, it feels good to do something that en-courages more physical activ-ity. We hope to see more people riding bikes in Lubec.”

The Cobscook Community High School program is avail-able to Washington County students through partnerships with Calais and Shead High Schools, and is accepting appli-cations for the 2015-16 school year. Those interested in more information can visit www.cclc.me or call 207-733-2233.

HULDA ROBERTA WILLIAMS (BAKER)12/8/1923 – 6/26/2015

In the early morning of June 26th our beautiful, car-ing, and loving mom passed away. She was known by all as “Gram.” She loved life. If there were more grandmoth-ers and great grandmothers like her then there would be more bells jingling, more stars twinkling, more birds singing, more hugs, talks, and happy smiles. Hulda “Gram” left a lot of wonderful memo-ries. She liked to talk about her grandchildren and when a new great grandbaby was born, she would take whatever information she had and make sure she put it in her book. Gram loved to cook and take care of all of us. She loved to cook sweets- it was her favorite.

Gram was born in Baileyville, Maine on December 8th, 1923. She was pre-deceased by her father Cyrus and mother Ella Mae Baker, son, Ivan B. Williams, brother Paul and sis-ter in law Gladys Baker, sister Lottie M. Baker, granddaugh-ter Tina Williams, grandson Michael Cole and daughter in law Winnie Williams.

Gram loved to do anything daring like four wheeling with her son, David, and dirt bike riding and snowmobiling with her grandsons. Gram would cook anything sweet and she was especially known for her homemade fudge.

Gram is survived by two sons and three daughters. Her son Charles Williams of Skowhegan and his daughter Sherry, along with her four children, and son Tony and his daugh-ter of Clinton, son David and wife Paula of Robbinston and their son Michael, along with his two daughters and one granddaughter. Also, their Daughter Paula-Lynn and hus-band Ryan of Topsfield and their two daughters, daughter Gertrude and husband Galen Larrabee of Knox, son James Deschamps and his son Kalib and daughter Keria of Water-ville, granddaughter Nyia Chituck of Knox, daughter Bar-bara and husband Richard Roussell Sr. of Calais, and son Richard Roussel Jr. and wife Susan of Calais, son Dale and wife Missy Roussel of Calais, daughter Cheryl and husband Dan Recker of Michigan, daughter Charlene Roussel and fi-ancé Michael of Bethel, son Roger Roussel of Calais, son David Roussel of Freeport, daughter Carolee and husband Bob Black of Calais, grandchildren Angela, Andrew, Jessica, Kasey, Lewis, Ryan, Greg, Ashley, Justin, Bethany, Lauren, Erica, Breanna, Chloe, Malorie, and 18 great grandchildren, daughter Marjorie and husband Nelson Cole of Thorndike, daughter Cherdelle and husband Scott Bryant of Jackson, two daughters Kyia Bryant of Hallowell and Allura (Ali) Bryant of Jackson.

Gram’s life was very full, happy, and peaceful. She always loved company, to go on vacation, to take pictures with any-one, and to show her happiness. We will all miss you and love you forever.

Burial will be held July 19th at 12:00 at Webster Cemetery in Freeport, Maine.

A Fourth of July that fell on a Saturday was what I was always wishing for when I was a kid. That would give us a day off from the strawberry fields and a chance to actually cel-ebrate the Fourth. Because we had so many rows of strawber-ries each year, we would only get half of the garden picked each day. The schedule was pick one day, take the berries to market the following morning and then come home to pick more berries that afternoon. Saturday was a day off because the markets in Calais were not open on Sunday.

When I first began picking strawberries, we had crates that would hold forty-eight and forty quarts. Each quart was supposed to weigh two pounds and according to my father, each berry had to be placed just so in the boxes. This makes sense because as we stacked the quarts in the crates, we did not want to squash any berries. It really does not take long for a bad berry to spoil all of the other berries it touches. In later years, the crates were holding only sixteen or twenty-four quarts. I guess as the price went up, the storekeepers worked harder on controlling their inventory so they ordered smaller amounts for their customers.

My father was very particular in how the berries were put in the quart boxes so he would not let anyone else crate them. When we had lots of berries and some help picking them, we had to take them to the truck in the field road and put them in the shade. As the shade areas

moved around the truck, we had to move the boxes too until he crated them and took them to the house and put them in a cool place for overnight.

During one particularly good strawberry season, this ritual crating caused some consterna-tion in my family. My father had gone to an Anah Temple Shriners’ Convention leaving my mother, aunt, uncle and me to pick the berries. He left specific orders that we were not to put them in the crates. My mother would not go against his orders, but as the day went on and the many quarts of berries were sitting around the truck, my aunt began to fume.

“Come on, Stella,” she said to my mother. “Let’s get these berries crated.”

“Clarence said that he would be home to crate them,” my mother replied.

Aunty had a quick answer. “He is at that convention and he will come home drunk. He will be in no shape to crate these berries and I am not going to stay here all night waiting for him to show up.” So Aunty crated the berries. When my father came home (as I remem-ber it), he was three sheets to the wind and quite unsteady on his feet. He did not say a word about the crated berries. I know when he showed up, I made myself scarce because I hated blow ups. I did not have to worry about anything. Even my father, drunk or sober, would not take Aunty on. She had a mind of her own and nobody changed it.

As far as I can remember, this trip my father took during strawberry season was unusual.

From the last week of June through the third week of July, we all knew where we would be every day except Saturday or a day of rain. If my mother and aunt had to pack sardines, they would be in the field as soon as they got home. My sister had her turn in the fields and I had my turn. I was not a willing worker, but that did not matter. The berries had to be picked. Sometimes, the Mainses from the Ridge and from Pembroke would come

to give us a hand. Once in a while my father found some teenagers who wanted to earn a little money to help out. The bottom line was, though, that it was the family’s responsibility to get the berries picked and no amount of whining to go somewhere or do something else was the least bit effective. I know because I tried. The only day off was a Saturday and sometimes July Fourth would fall on that day and we would get off the farm.

For recipes, I have been looking for salads that could be taken on a picnic. I have stayed away from the molded salads because any length of time in the heat of summer will change them to liquid and no one wants to sip his/her salad through a straw. This week I went back to the Maine Rebekahs’ cookbook of 1973 and found this recipe for Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Salad.

Pennsylvania Dutch Potato SaladIngredients:

Eight boiled potatoesOne stalk celery (diced)

One onion (minced)One tablespoon celery seed / Two eggs well beaten / One cup sugar

One-half cup vinegar diluted with one-half cup cold waterOne teaspoon salt

One-fourth teaspoon pepperFour slices of bacon (diced)

Method: Boil potatoes in jackets, peel and dice. Add celery and onion. Fry Bacon crisp.Mix eggs, sugar, spices, vinegar and water. Mix well.

Pour this mixture into the hot bacon and bacon fat and stir until thickened.Pour over potatoes and mix. Serve cold.

Expressions of Comfort

Pictured are (left) Cathy Jackson, Executive Director Hospice of Charlotte, Inc and (right) SCIQ Hospice Laptop Quilt Co-coordi-nator Wanda Pollock. (Submitted photo).

By Lynda Duplissea

Cathy Jackson, Executive Di-rector Hospice of Charlotte, Inc. received fifteen expressions of comfort from the St. Croix Inter-national Quilters (SCIQ) whose membership consists of quilters from Charlotte and Washington counties. Barbara Barrett, Direc-tor of Volunteer Services Down East Hospice Volunteers, was unable to attend the presentation and will receive fifteen quilts at a later date.

Since 2013, the quilters have been creating patchwork tops of varied colors and designs for this purpose. Twice a year, the completed quilts are presented to Jackson and Barrett who represent the area’s hospice programs.

When SCIQ Past President Bonnie Hunter introduced the quilters to the project three years ago, ten quilts were divided be-tween the two programs in the fall. Since then the number of completed quilts grows with each spring and fall presentation.

Jackson told the membership that “these quilts come at a very good time for us. I was looking at the one quilt we had on hand and

hoping that we would be getting more before the fall.”

SCIQ members Wanda Pol-lock and Peggy Brownlee are the coordinators of SCIQ’s Hospice Lap Quilt project. For Pollock, “quilting is sharing yourself with others.” For Brownlee, “quilting is a gift you give yourself.”

“Our membership is always looking for ways to give back to our community,” says current President Sue McIver. “By the fall, we’ll have another batch ready.

“The members provide fabric, select a pattern, and stitch the patchwork top. Various people donate the fabric for the back-ing. Just last year, member Sue Martell delivered quite a bit of fabric from her sister’s quilt shop (Quilt Essentials in Auburn, Maine). Her sister Betsy was happy to help us. A portion of the funds we raise at our biennial quilt show pays for the batting.

“We’ve also been able to provide more quilts because of a special arrangement we have with Marlene Wilbur of Perry, Maine. She is an exceptional long arm quilter who is willing to quilt a number of our patch-work tops for a reduced fee,” McIver continues. “That is her way of giving back to our com-munity.”

Jackson told those present that the patients and their loved ones are touched by the quilts. “They appreciate the expressions of love and comfort represented by the quilts.”

More information about Hos-pice services or volunteer op-portunities can be obtained by calling Jackson at (506) 465-0800 or Barnett at (207) 454-7521 ext. 126. To learn more about the SCIQ see its website: www.stcroixquilters.com or attend a business meeting held on the third Wednesday of each month, 6 pm EST at the Method-ist Homes Rec Center on Palmer St. in Calais.

Grand Lake StreamDave McCullough

Another July 4th Celebration, Grand Lake Stream is now just lots of fond memories! The Morning Cel-ebration Service was inspirational from the words of Rev. Ray Morse. The Land Trust 5K race was well attended with many awards presented. The parade was the largest in my memory with 20 plus floats! It looked like half the town was in the parade and the other half cheered everyone on! The Fire De-partment acted as the “parade marshal” and allowed viewers to see the development of the Department from a simple power pump to a modern fire truck followed by the float of future fire fighters. The of-ficial opening of the event with the children leading the Pledge of Allegiance drew lots of picture taking. As in the past the food tent was a smooth running machine. Quality food served quickly! The horse-shoe crew started as scheduled and played all after-noon. The frog race and blueberry pie eating contest were popular and everyone loved the music by the Ukulele band! During the Guides BBQ Dinner Rick Hanscom played relaxing dinner music followed by Brad Sawyer and his Troop with a wide variety of classic, country and pop music. The fireworks dis-play was outstanding again this year!!! A heart-felt thanks to everyone who helped make July 4, 2015 another page in our history. Sue Whitely, Elaine Brown and Lisa Bertinelli are wonderful to work with and I thank them for all they do to help make this event so successful!

Remember: freedom is never free! It’s time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July means more than beer, picnics, and baseball games. True “reflection” is a part of this country’s greatness. Please be a participant.

Exciting summer activities are coming sponsored by the Downeast Lakes Land Trust. This week they are starting our “Serious Skills for Boys and Girls” (Ages 10-16) and “Explorations and Adventures” (Ages 6-10) programs. Serious Skills runs Thurs-days, 9:30-12 and Explorations and Adventures runs Tuesdays, 9:30-12. All programs meet at the GLS School Building. This week’s topics July 7 – Nature Journaling— Children will make their own nature journal, practice sketching and writing tech-

niques, then head out into the forest to capture nature. Next week’s Tuesday program is: July 14 – Birding–Children will learn about birds’ unique adaptations for flight, practice identifying bird songs, and then try out their new skills in the field.

July 9 – Geocaching – Join Maine Master Guide Al LaPlante to learn map and compass skills, how to use GPS, and the exciting world of Geocaching. We will head out in search of a geocache, right in Grand Lake Stream

In our Book Series, we have a new event on July 30th – “The Maine Way-A Collection of Maine Fish and Game Recipes” by Judy Marsh and Carole Dyer. For July 31st, DLLT is running a Moonlight Paddle on Big Musquash Stream. More details coming on both of these events.

The 6th Annual Race for Grand Lake Stream kicked off a warm and sunny morning on the Fourth of July. As the race made its way to town from Big Lake, fes-tival goers cheered on the participants at the end of the three mile race. The Downeast Lakes Land Trust hosted the race, which was part of the “Grand Lake Stream America” festival. Kyle Richard, 13, of Alex-ander was the overall winner with a time of 20:30.

Winners of the horseshoe contest were: 1st place: Craig Cilley and Jeff Downs; 2nd place Jessie Roberts and Rich Malt and 3rd place; Dale McArthur and Tom Carmack. Congratulations to the winners!!

The blueberry pie eating contest was won by Lila Acheson and 2nd place went to Owen Gray! Congrat-ulation!

The frog race was won by Kam Lore. Your frog did well as there was lots of competition. Congratula-tions!

The guides would like to thank everyone for orga-nizing and helping in all parts of this year’s July 4th event, especially the Women to Women for realizing we forgot to ask for Ginger Bread baking help and just went along and made all we needed.

Summer Safety Tips for KidsBy Dr. Egbert Grinage,

Pediatrician The long cold snowy winter

is over and spring is here. Sum-mer will soon be here as well… with its fun filled days of hot sun and plenty of outdoor ac-tivities that kids love, especially since school will be out. There are many areas to cover when it comes to summer safety, and we’ll review just a few here. Here are a few brief tips on how to have you and the kids enjoy the summer months safely based on what is more common for Maine. For added informa-tion, visit the AAP website.

Summer First Aid Kit-Keep a well-stocked and

readily accessible first aid kit in the house / car and bring on trips.

-Keep a list of emergency numbers handy.

-Remember to take along Epi pens and antihistamines for children with known potentially fatal allergies!

Sun and Dehydration Pro-tection

-Avoid sun exposure during peak sunlight hours ( 10am- 6pm) if possible.

-Wear protective clothing: wide brimmed hat and sun-glasses.

-Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15; apply 30mins before going into the sun and every 2 hours.

-Give children lots of fluid to drink before complaining of thirst

-Use the shade.-Take lots of breaks.Water Safety-Focus on your children 100%

of the time by keep them within an arm’s length when in or near

the water. -No child even a great swim-

mer, is “drown proof.”-Drowning can occur in any

backyard/community pool, lake, river or ocean.

Bug Safety-Children less than 2 months

should not use insect repellants containing DEET

-Children > 2months can use 10-30% DEET; 10% protects for 2hrs ; 30% for 5 hours.

-Wash off DEET upon return-ing home.

-Avoid combination sun-screen repellant products.

Tick bitesTicks are responsible for

diseases like Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

-Wear long sleeved clothing and use bug repellant (remem-ber yourself and the pet as well!)

-Don’t sit directly on ground and stay in the center of paths

-Perform daily tick checks.-Know signs and symptoms

of tick-related illnesses.-Call a doctor for any ques-

tions and concerns as he/she can remove the tick and sometimes provide drug prevention.

Skateboard, Scooter, Skat-

ing, and Heelys Safety-Skaters and scooter-riders

should wear protective gear; helmets are particularly impor-tant. Make sure such gear meet approved safety standards

-Most injuries occur due to falls. Inexperienced riders should only ride as fast as they can comfortably slow down.

-Riders should avoid moving traffic and should never skate alone. Children under the age of eight should be supervised at all times.

Allterrain Vehicles (ATVs)-Children under the age of 16

should not be allowed to operate or ride ATVs.

-Don’t ride double.-Protective gear should be

worn at all times while oper-ating an ATV. Helmets worn should be designed for motor-cycle and not bicycle use.

-Operators should avoid paved roads and avoid night-time driving.

-Don’t drive an ATV while intoxicated

Poison Ivy, Oak and Su-mac

-Learn how to recognize what poison ivy, pal, and sumac look like so that they can be avoided.

-Avoid bushy overgrown areas and stay on paths.

- Cover exposed skin if un-sure.

Fireworks Safety-Fireworks are dangerous as

they can reach temperatures of 1000F resulting in burns.

-Attend community firework display instead of purchasing your own.

-Even sparklers are danger-ous.

Institute for Curious YouthThe first ever Institute for Curious Youth (ICY) was held at

Washington County Community College (WCCC) during the last week of school. More than 30 students from Indian Town-ship, Pleasant Point, Perry, Pembroke, and Whiting took part in the five-day event. Students participated in hands-on activities focused on sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Some of the activities included innovation engineering with Angela Marcolini from the Foster Center for Student Innova-tion from the University of Maine in Orono; design and function of wind blades with Peter Zack from Maine Energy Education Program; “Rockets to the Rescue” with Jen Lobley from Coop-erative Extension; Kyle Pepperman from the Downeast Institute shared his knowledge of ocean plants and animals and the work that is occurring at the Institute; Lee Rose from Axiom Technolo-gies and Bill Cody of (WCCC) introduced the students to some of the career opportunities that are available in computer sciences and programming; Sep Altvater, Director of Pleasant Point Public Works and Sarah Woog, Math Coach at Indian Township School taught the students about tessellations and positive and negative space; and Dr. Tora Johnson from the University of Maine at Machias engaged students in activities on the computers teaching them about Global Positioning Systems.

There were also sessions focusing on post-secondary opportuni-ties and possible career opportunities for students. Jeff Monroe from Maine Maritime Academy and Chris Shorette from the University of Maine at Orono gave students a lot to consider as they move into high school and consider their options for the future. Rob Gordon from the Admissions Office at WCCC gave students a tour of the campus and shared his experiences of the admissions process with students.

The Institute for Curious Youth received generous funding from a component fund of the Maine Community Foundation and Sun-rise County Economic Council. In addition, the presenters were incredibly generous with their time and offerings to the students. The staffers at ICY also wish to express tremendous gratitude to the staff at WCCC for the use of their buildings and grounds, for all of the assistance that was provided, and for making the students and teachers feel incredibly welcome.

Our hearts go out to the Sta-ples family of Calais who lost a son in a tragic accident with fireworks on the 4th of July. There was a special prayer by Pastor Joe McAdams on Sunday at the Meddybemps Christian Church. Devon was a friend of Pastor McAdams’ son and he knew the family well. All our prayers are with them. There was a food pantry pick-up after church and the ladies’ Bible Study completed the monthly prayer calendar.

There was lots of eating and visiting of families on the fourth, along with parades and fun games. We went to the nice parade in Pembroke, which seems to get better each year, with our daughter Sandy Lyon. Afterwards we ate breakfast at a little restaurant, Cobscook Bay Cafe, and then visited at the cottage of Marcia and Paul Wheelock in Meddybemps. Also there were their children Paul and Karen Maria, Ryley, Marit and Tia Wheelock who were visiting for a few days, and Marit and Tia stayed on for a couple more days with their grandparents.

The usual family and friends gathered at the Lee compound

for a cook-out and the big fireworks display that their friend John does each year. Some party boats full of folks watched from the water, and this year it was quite a treat with 55 at last count enjoying the show. They always have enough food to feed an army and everyone is invited to stop by.

On the morning of the 4th of July, Selectman Dan Ackley put up the veterans’ flag do-nated to the town by Cathance Grange. It flew all day until Denny Lyon took it in. This flag was flown in memory of Veteran Pete Jestings, and a notice was pinned up so any-one stopping would know. A flag that has draped a casket is only allowed to be flown on special occasions in memory of a veteran.

After our visit at Meddybe-mps, we rested and then drove to Edmunds to our grand-daughter’s (Crystal and Na-than Moores) home. There was a large group of family gathered along with friends, several campers, lots of tents, a firepit burning, and chairs everywhere.

Everyone brought food, large containers of everything great for a cook-out, and two grills were sending out mouth-

watering aromas of a variety of meats. It was Nathan’s birthday so a chocolate cake with peanutbutter frosting was really enjoyed. There was also other desserts and a blueberry cake. The kids were having a great time playing games. We left before dark as we both are so lame so we missed out on the large display of fire-works they had all kicked in for a great show of lights. I’m afraid we settled in front of the TV. There was plans to cook doughboys by Jill Barnard and friends during the fireworks. These guys know how to make it a real fun day.

Phil and Karyn are breaking in a new (to them) camper and it’s really nice. Ralph and I enjoyed many summers living in campers. Philip got a piece of steak caught in his throat and thank God Crystal knew the Heimlich and got it out. It was a terrible scare for us all.

Our prayers are still going out ot Wander McClure who is still in the hospital. Also I hear Maxine Palmeter is better.

July 8th is the next Grange meeting at Cathance right af-ter the Tuesday night Pomona meeting in Alexander. They both meet at 7:00 pm. We heard the sad news that once

again the Princeton Grange has had to close. This time for good.

Don’t forget the Cathance Lake Association breakfast on Saturday, July 11th.

All you scrapbookers, there will be a meeting from 10:00 to 4:00 at the Meddybemps Community Center on Satur-day, July 11th. Dawn Win-chester is leading it as usual. It will be air conditioned and a real fun time with a pot luck lunch.

There is also Alexander Days fun on the 11th with all kinds of things going on.

PrincetonElizabeth Mitchell

The celebration of improve-ments to the Princeton Public Library will be at be library on Saturday, July 11 from 1-3. All are invited. There are more improvements being planned, but the transformations already completed should be shared with patrons, supporters and the public. Light refreshments will be served.

The Friends of Princeton will be holding the ‘Flea-Wheeling Day’ on Saturday, July 18 at the ball field area on West St., in Princeton. Read more about it in the column next week and on the posters up in town. Don’t forget the Farmers’ Market every Thursday, 3:30 to 6pm at the Ball field.

The flower barrels on display around town have certainly added some bright colors. With the warming up-we surely de-serve after the brutal winter- and the rains, the petunias quickly filled the tubs and just keep blossoming. They do require maintenance and the volunteers who continue to take care of them are often ‘unsung’, but truly appreciated.

From the SCEC website:On Tuesday, July 14 at 6pm

The Porter Memorial Library on Court St. in Machias is hosting author Anne Gass. She will be speaking about her book, ‘Vot-ing Down the Rose’. The book introduces the author’s great-grandmother, Florence Brooks Whitehouse, a Suffragette from Maine. The book highlights the fight for the statewide referen-dum during the years of WW1 and 1918.

From 7/8 -8/3, there will be a presentation of “Woman/Cloth/Story at the Eastport Arts Cen-ter. It is a selection of quilted wll hangings and 3-dimensional pieces by Patricia Maimon-Music. The gallery is open in conjunction with Arts Center events, or by chance, or by ap-

pointment. Call 853-4650 for more information. On Friday, July 10, The Arts Center will welcome composer and pianist Gregory Biss. He will present several pieces.

Artisans Downeast St. Croix Valley International Garden Club

Artisans Downeast, located at 343 Main Street, is the newest addition to downtown. A well-received opening reception was held last Friday night at the gallery by owner/artist Lea Brown with many from the public, and a number of the artists whose work is displayed, in attendance. Lea is pictured with her son Ethan who came up with the idea of opening the gallery, along with artists Paul Redding, Tom Brennan, Mary Kay Bramble, and Ralph Mercier. Artisans Downeast showcases locally created art of various mediums. More information can be found on the Facebook page, Artisans Downeast. (Photo by Jayna Smith)

At the June meeting, St. Croix Valley International Garden Club members met with mem-bers of the Lubec Garden Club for a walk through the Eagle Hill Bog at Roosevelt Campobello International Park. Following a picnic lunch and short business meeting at the visitor center, we strolled the boardwalk in the bog pausing frequently for com-ments from our well-informed guide, Marcia Spencer-Famous, who enlightened us about the variety of mosses and plants growing there. Learning about bakeapple plants, pitcher plants, mountain laurel and cotton grass was most interesting. Marcia also explained the criteria of what makes a bog and the dif-ferences between specific types of bogs.

The next meeting: Wednes-day, July 15, at 12:00 o'clock (EST). We will meet at 35 Water Street in Machias for a garden luncheon prepared by

Machias area members. After lunch and viewing the garden at 35 Water Street, we will caravan to Roque Bluffs where we will visit several private gardens. Guests are welcome to attend as always. There is no charge for the luncheon or garden tour, however, it would be helpful for the planners if people planning to attend would let us know by contacting us at scvigc@yahoo.com by Monday, July 13.

Plans were finalized for the Home Town Jubilee Concessions and Cake Walk, along with the up-coming Washington County Pomona Meeting to be held on July 7th at Alexander.

I received a very nice note from Julie Richard letting me know that she and Marty’s sons, Kyle and Alex competed in a Three-mile Race on July 4th at Grand Lake Stream and

Kyle won the entire race. He was the first kid to ever win the race, quite an accomplishment! Alex also gave a great showing and placed in the top ten with a time of 25 minutes.

Brylea Newman, Grand-daughter of Gert and Donny Newman, of Alexander was in Little Miss Eastport ages 2 to 4 Pageant with twenty five other little girls during the East-port’s 4th of July Celebration recently. Brylea received first runner-up and enjoyed being in the Parade on July 4th.

Gert and Donny’s grandson Brody Newman spent Canada Day with his cousin Grady Newman on Campobello Is-land for two days.

Linda Sprague Wallace sent me a message to let me know that there was a joyous family get-together at the Wickachee Restaurant last week when a cousin Roberta Teed Taylor and her daughter Jill Taylor were in the area. They live near Ra-leigh, North Carolina and Linda and the family hadn’t seen her in 20 years. It was such sweet memories talking about years ago. Enjoying their company besides Linda was Barbie and Tommy McLaughlin, Freddie and Debbie Sprague and Mari-lyn and Mike Trafton. This was also the first time that any of them had met Jill.

Dancing was actually in both sides of their family as Jill owns Taylor’s Academy of Dance and her Mother Berta runs the dancing school and loves the students so much. Jill studies at Boston Ballet along with several other ballet schools. She has also taught for Boston Ballet in the past.

Boston Ballet was founded 51 years ago by Linda’s Mater-nal Grandmother’s sister Janis William’s Rooney Sprague and Aunt Phyllis Williams White Sprague, both had Dancing Schools, so dancing was cer-tainly in there blood on both

Sprague’s and William’s sides. Such a wonderful time was had catching up on the years missed and reminiscing about years spent together.

Linda also let me know that the Sprague Family Reunion will be held on Saturday, July 18th at 12:00 p.m. at Linda and Fred Wallace’s home on Craw-ford Lake. A Pot Luck Dinner will be at 1:00 pm. There will be lots of photos/photo props as well, great food, games and music. Family and friends are welcome to attend.

Since we just mentioned Freddie Wallace and lots of folks have been wondering how he is. Linda told me he is very happy to be home from EMMC after two bouts in the hospital in June for a total of nine days. Fred and Linda would like to thank everybody for all there prayers.

Brittany Ayers (formerly of Crawford) and Michael McGovern, who reside in Con-necticut, were married on June 20th. They had perfect weath-er for their outside wedding in Wells, Maine. Brittany is the daughter of Wayne and Debbie Ayer’s, of Crawford, Maine. Brittany’s sister Courtney Mel-ville of Portland, Maine and her brother Jordan were part of the Wedding party. Brittany and I were classmates at AES and wish her and Michael both years of happiness!

It was wonderful to see so many of the former AES stu-dent’s names on the Calais High School Honor Roll for the last quarter of the 2014-2015 school year. Seniors included Carly Davis and Tyler Niles, Juniors Anna Jean McClure and Keith Turner, Sophomore Marissa Mitchell and Freshman Prue Maxwell. All of those students came from Alexander. Also on the Calais Honor Roll was Ha-ley Donovan of Crawford.

Lucky Loser this week at Randy’s Variety is Tom Bon-ner.

This week on Thursday I went with my friends from the Frank Beckett Center to East-port and looked around at the different vendors for the 4th of July festivities. Afterwards we headed to the New Friend-ly’s Restaurant where the food was tasty and I hope we can go again soon.

Another special treat for me this week was to reconnect via facebook with my very first best friend, Tara Peterson.

On July 4th I was a very lucky girl when I was able to spend sometime with the Coo-per/Phelan Crowd enjoying fireworks on Pleasant Lake. Not only did they have fire-works but there were fireworks all around the lake making for a fun time and a beautiful dis-play.

Carlos Jr. has been spend-ing some time fishing with Grandpa lately and he is very excited to report that he has caught some trout and some bass. They practice catch and release, Carlos says so another little boy can have a chance for some the fun.

I am heading out to Pine Tree Camp on Tuesday and getting home on Sunday so there will probably be no column next week, but don’t let that stop you from sending me news and we’ll have a super information-al column the following week.

If you have news for the col-umn you can get them to me by email at ptcfan@hotmail.com, contact me on my facebook page, by phone at 454-2344 (if I’m not home please leave a message), or dropping off a note at Randy’s Variety.

MeddybempsLinda Baniszeski

The official start of summer in Meddybemps appeared to be the July 4 holiday weekend. Around Meddybemps, we are seeing license plates from all over the east coast and most of New England. We have visitors from South Carolina and Vir-ginia at our house right now.

Congratulations to Dylann Swindler who was Warren Queen for this year’s Warren Day celebration in Warren, Maine. Dylann is the grand-daughter of Patty and Dana Reynolds, and daughter of Julie (Reynolds) and Dan Swindler. There is a lovely photo of Dy-lann on Patty’s facebook page.

Birthday wishes to Joey Dickey on July 10 and Jean Campbell and Joyce Brown on the 14th and 15th, respectively. There are sure to be many fami-ly gatherings for them, and oth-ers here for summer vacations.

In other birthday news, we were honored to be included in a wonderful celebration of Barry Pearson’s 70th birthday on July 2nd. His wife, Susan hosted a beautiful event at the St. Croix Country Club in Cal-ais. It began with a cocktail hour followed by dinner, and cake for dessert, enjoyed by family and friends who present-ed Barry with funny cards and great gifts. Barry is a cousin to Lance Bagley, and they grew up together in Connecticut. Their mothers were sisters. Ken Bogden joined Barry Pearson in one of his favorite past times, golfing, on July 5th.

Many of us also enjoyed the

annual 4th of July celebration hosted by Cheryl and Lance Bagley, and Cheryl’s brother Ed Zwingman at the Zwing-man-Bagley camp. Ed annual-ly presents a spectacular 4th of July Fireworks Display. He is quite the professional, and the colorful extravaganza is always a special holiday gift enjoyed by everyone on the lake. Party guests brought a delightful as-sortment of appetizers and des-serts; served before and after Lance’s and Cheryl’s bountiful picnic dinner. If anyone left this party hungry, it was their own fault. This party is al-ways a perfect time to catch up with many seasonal residents including the Hews, Bogden, Bloomhardt, Pearson, James, Saeger and Rothberg families, and fascinating visitors to their camps. It’s also one of the few times we get to be with sea-sonal and year-round residents like Arnold Corning and Barb Clark, and Jeff Orchard and Penny Lurie all in one place at one time.

The Zwingman Bagley camp is one of the historic Trapper Lombard designed and built camps. They were built to last with stone fireplaces, an abundance of natural woods, unique architectural details, and wide front porches that take in breathtaking lake views. Each camp has a recognizable Trapper Lombard-style of their own. Not only still standing and beautiful, the camps continue to be lived in and enjoyed. These camps are masterful works of art passed from one generation to another. The Wright camp changed hands a few years ago.

Although the camp left Jane’s family, it was sold to another long standing seasonal Meddy-bemps family -- Sue and Ken Bogden.

It is always great to see so many homes filled with family and vacationers during this time of the year. Terry Reynolds had many visitors over the 4th in-cluding Patty and Dana Reyn-olds. Jennifer (Reynolds) and Bill Doten, Jr., were here from Scarborough. Jen’s daughter, Alyssa, is staying on for anoth-er week to visit at Terry’s place. Also at Terry’s on the holiday were Tammi Smith, Dan Wal-lace, and Tammi’s daughter and son-in-law, Mindy and Chris Brown. Their adorable little dogs seem to really like parties -- Mia a Puggle (pug/beatle mix) and pug, Yoda.

Phyllis Jones is back at her home on Stone Road. She is a traveling nurse, and over the past two years has worked in California, Hawaii and Florida. A lifelong friend from Florida is visiting with her this trip. Teele-Rothberg Island is alive with family and friends. Amy Teele Salamon, her husband Adam and their 15 month old daughter, Avery are vacation-ing on the Island. Avery wore the most adorable little outfit with a red and blue lobster mo-tif on a white background and coordinating little blue shorts for the 4th of July party at the Bagley’s. Meg also brought to the Bagley party fun light-up bracelets and rings. Many of us were wearing the blinking red, white and blue star light and large star necklaces from her in previous years. Arriving this week to the island with friends are Meg and John Rothberg’s other daughter, Molly and son Jack. That’s the best part of having a summer home on the lake -- we can usually count on family and friends visiting us

during the warmer months.Mike Johnson’s property was

alive with the happy squeals of his grandsons, who with their parents stayed with him for a few days at his camp. Chil-dren’s laughter and sounds of fun are among the most won-derful sounds in the world.

Dennis and Karen Gilbert en-joyed their camp over the 4th as well with grandson Ryan. They will be back in three weeks, so Karen said leaving this time wasn’t so hard to do.

My sister, Michele and her daughter, Andrea, made their annual Mother/Daughter road trip to visit us this week. Mi-chele and her husband have re-tired to a community on Lake Marion near Manning, South Carolina; and Andrea and her husband in Chesapeake, Virgin-ia. With the guests at my other sister Patty’s camp this week, we got together for a Lobster Feast. We had 10 people in all enjoying some meals together.

Visiting the Lentz camp are Kris, Rod and Max Shyda, and Max’s friend, Alex. Max and Alex liked kayaking on the lake; and Max did some fish-ing with Rich and his Dad. Max and Alex will travel on from here later this week to northern Maine for river raft-ing and to try skydiving. They are enjoying a last summer be-fore college. Max will go to Drexel Univesity for Mechani-cal Engineering in Philadelphia in September. Rod Shyda, the Lentz’s son-in-law, caught a humongous fish late last week. Only thing was, Rich forgot to put a net in the boat, and they couldn’t get the fish in the boat. When someone remarked that it would have made a big fish meal, Rod replied, “It would have been mounted and on the wall, not a meal.” Much to his chagrin, he later hooked anoth-er large fish, which snapped the

line. At least his “one that got away” account has a credible witness.

In other wildlife reports, Jim Reed shared a bit of news about happenings at John Wakin’s place. Jim said, “we couldn’t believe our eyes. A large snap-per turtle was on John’s beach. Nearby there was a goose with its goslings. Meanwhile, the male goose (gander) wildly flapped and jumped on top of the snapper turtle’s shell.” One has to believe, the gander was trying to distract the snap-per from his family. A brave dad, indeed. Jim also shared that he once saw another prac-tically unbelievable wildlife sighting. He said “a rabbit with a baby was on his lawn. A raven swooped down and grabbed the baby rabbit, when the mother immediately leaped 5 ft. high into the air at the large bird, and the raven dropped the baby rabbit.” Wow, that brings tears to my eyes. Nature can be cruel; and it is wonderful to sometimes see a happy end-ing. Jim and Beverly Reed live along Stanhope Lane, and I thank them for the news.

A very large doe leapt across our lane in front of our car one evening and ran into the sur-rounding woods. The duck family has dwindled some -- from the original 11 babies down to 8 that now swim with their mother. Perhaps the huge snapper turtle that was in Terry Reynolds’ yard had something to do with the duckling disap-pearances.

Please send your news to LBaniszeski@myfairpoint.net or phone 454-3719.

First Half of 2015 (Jan - June): The mean temperature of 33.4 degrees was the lowest in 21 years of record. the pre-vious low was 34.0 degrees set in 2003. Normal for the period is 37.5 degrees. Precipitation totaled 29.92 inches for the six month period (normal) is 26.03 inches. However, this amount was well behind the 34.74 inches accumulated for the same period last year which turned out to be the wettest year historically.

July is starting out warm and dry. There has been no measurable rainfall so far this month. While the 1st was chilly, temperatures have been quite warm since the 2nd. We seem to be setting a rainfall pattern this year. March was on the dry side, April was quite wet, May was very dry, and June was very wet. So far, July seems to be running quite dry. This is probably quite well, as there was much stand-ing water everywhere at the end of June.

Several members of the Robbinston Grange decorated a float for the 4th of July pa-rade in in Eastport. For the first time, we won an award, 3rd place and a monetary prize. Everyone had a great time and I want to thank everyone who worked on the float and the driver who drove the float.

My Polish Lowland sheep-dog turned 12 on July 1st. His name is Demetrius.
