A CHALLENGE?? Las~ Friday and Saturday a small black bear cub gave a

lot of enJOyment to factory workers and townspeople alike, not old enough to be really afraid of people, it would clown around in the trees for everyone to watch.

At noontime some of the workers talked to it and it would show off as much as to say, I'm in the tree, you can't get me and I'm not afraid of you. ·

The cub was being fed and watched over by a family close to its trees where it enjoyed playing. ~

WHERE WAS TilE CHALLENGE? A seventeen year- old boy had never kllled a bear before-:"'

it took three shots to snuff out the life of a little black cub bea; that acted like a clown and was not afraid of people.

WHERE WAS THE CHALLENGE? I sincerely hope that some day real soon that the young

Big Game Hunter will meet a real challange and I hope he will be able to handle it.

Dear Motorist: October 27 , 1977

The 108th Legislature passed two laws directly affecting the renewal of your driver's license.

The first law extends the life of Maine driver's licenses from two years to four years. The renewal fee is the same, $2. 50 per year. Not everyone will receive a four year license this year. During our two year phase-in schedule some li~ censes will be valid for two years and some for four years. By 1980 all Maine driver's will have been issued a four year license. Persons over 65 years of age will colitinue to receive a two year license with an eye check at renewal time. The four year driver's license is a positive change and will save money for you and for the state.

The second law, however, will cost you time and money and will cost more tax dollars. The Legislature has required that:

ALL DRIVERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 40 and 65, AT THE TIME OF FIRST RENEWAL AND EVERY THIRD RE­NEWAL THEREAFTER, MUST PASS A VISION. TEST BE­FORE THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE CAN BE RENEWED ,

A 1973 graduate of Penquis Valley High School , the bride is employed at Katahdin Lumber Co. in Brownvi.lle. The bridegroom was graduated from Brownville Jet, High School in 1968 and is employed at PCI Group, Inc., Brownville .

After a reception at the American Legion Hall in Milo, ~e couple left on a wedding trip to Vermont. They are at home on Main Street, Brownville Jet.

OPEN LETTERS Cont'd from Page 2

In the next two years approximately 240, 000 people will have to pass a vision test before I can renew their driver's license. Time and money will be spent by citizens in driving to a motor vehicle division branch office, losing work time, standing in lines, and possibly paying for a doctor's examin­ation.· I will as k the Legislature to repeal or modify this law.

But it is now the law and we must comply with it. 1) Take your renewal form to a Motor Vel:.icle Branch

Office for a free vision test. ·The results will be recorded on the back of the form, Your renewal can then be processed.

2) You may visit an eye doctor (at your expense). He will record your test on a form in his office. This ds>etor's certi­ficate must go wit h the renewal and fee for processing. The doctor's exam must be completed not more than one year prior to your license renewal date.

I will try to establish additional eye test stations where you may obtain a free test. Write to me at the State House , A. ugusta , Maine 04333 or call 289-2761 for more information.

NEW MEMBER OF PENQUIS VALLEY ENGLISH DEPT. Penquis Valley High School has some new faces this year

and during the next few weeks we, of the Town Crier staff, will try to give a thumbnail sketch of them for you.

The first new member is Mr. Ronald G. Brown, a native of Bangor, who is a member of the English department, teach­ing all four high school grades. He is presently living at 818 Ohio Street in Bangor and commuting each day to Penquis. This is Mr. Brown's fourth year of teaching, He previously taught two years in Indiana and was an instructor at Central High School in East Corinth last year. Mr. Brovm is married and his wife, Dianne, is expecting a child in January 1978. In addition to his teaching English at Penquis, Mr. Brown will be the Boys' Varsity Basketball team coach this season. He is also a Freshman Class Advisor. Asforhobbies, Mr. Brown is interested in old historical documents and in collecting famous autographs. We wonder who will be the first famous Patriot autograph that he collects here at Penquis. We, of the staff, wish him well in his teaching, his coaching, and his personal life with the new addition.

The library also has two Data Books pertaining to the Milo Comprehensive Plan which the public may read here at the library. NEW BOOKS:

Here ' s the latest spellbinding thriller from Alistair Mac­Lean about an enorm<!lus sophisticated , mobile oil rig called the Seawitch, anchored off the American coast in the Gulf.

The Sea witch is owned by a billionnaire named Lord Worth. It can supply him with enough cheap oil to undercut prices on the world market--and there's nothing his rivals can do about it-- but--what he doesn't suspect is all-out- war carried out by a ruthless soldier of fortune determined to succeed at any cost.

Plant s- A- Plenty by Catherine Osgood Foster is one of our new non- fiction books . How to Multiply Outdoor and In­door Plants Through Cuttings, Crown and Root Divisions, Grafting , Layering and Seeds.

Plants- A- Plenty is by far t he best and most complete book available ·for indoor and outdoor gardeners on the propagation of house and greenhouse plants, garden vegetables, tree and vine fruits, flo wers , shrubs, and trees.

The Telephone Book has recently been donated to us. This large and beautifully illustrated book, with many photographs , will be kept at the library as a special book for everyone to look at.

This new non-fiction book contains biographies of three great men; Bell, Watson and Vail; also depicts the American life 1876 to 1976, and is written by H. M, Boettinger.

The stories of these three great men are told in a moving personal way. The Telephone Book is an exceptional well­written essay, and commands great respect for the people who started it all and the people today who continue to make it work.

The History of Wildlife in America by Hal Borland , and published by the National Wildlife Federation, is another book which has recently been donated to us.

T HE TO W N CRIE R

NOVEMBER 1977 IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER MIRACLE!

It's time to find a cure for diabetes. Millions have diabetes and learn to live with it. And, even more millions have it and do not know it. It is one of the major killers and disablers in our society.

THE SEARCH GOES ON But while it does, it is urgent that all possible be

done to discover those "unknown diabetics" before serious consequences associated with the disease start to appear. For although it is incurable it can be lived with if diagnosis is early and medical advice is followed.

WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR? Sometimes there are absolutely no symptoms of

diabetes a t all. That is why the most important step is to regularly have your physician test for it. A

.simple blood test · can determine if there is a problem. When there are symptoms they might be excessive thirst and urination, huge appetite but with a gain in weight and weakness, tiring and fatigue.

WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO GET DIABETES? Heredity is considered an important factor. If

someone in your family is or was a diabetic, you should be especially watchful. A good overall summary would be family history, over forty, over . weight and female.

WE ARE A DIABETIC CENTER We carry a full line of diabetic needs and our

personnel are trained to help diabetics shop and to answer their questions. Hopefully, that miracle will come along soon but until then we'll be here to help all we can.

MEDICARE/MEDICAID ANTI-FRAUD & ABt:SE ACT The Department of Health, Education and Welfare esti­

mates that fraud and abuse in our Medicare/ 1\Iedicaid programs have cost the American taxpayers as much as $900 million per year.

Recently, President Carter s igned a comprehensive mea­sure which will put some teeth in our efforts to crack down on abuses and improve administration of these needed programs, which assist the elderly, poor and disabled with essential health care costs. The 1977 Medicare/Medicaid Anti-Fraud and Abuse Amendments will also close loopholes under which a small percentage of unscrupulous health care providers have helped themselves to the public funds.

For example, a health careprovlder might authori:t.e tests and treatment for patients covered by '1\Iedicare which were either not necessary or were never rendered, but for which these providers rece ived reimbursements.

Under the new law, such violators would be guilty of a felony and subject to five years in prison and a $25,000 fine. This is a considerably stiffer criminal' penalty than the pre­vious n'isdemeanor charge, which was little more than a wrist slap.

Improvements have also been made in the means of de­tecting abuses by strengthening federal assistance to states to encourage vigorous investigation and prosecution of alleged offenders.

I am particularly pleased that two of my amendments to the legislation were incorporated into the final version.

One amendment protects patients' private funds at nursing homes participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs. Pa­tients generally turn their personal funds over to the facilities to hold and manage until the patients need them. But in some homes, patients have been improperly charged out of these funds for routine medical services and bilked of their money through improper record keeping. Some institutions have even used these personal patient funds for collateral on operating

expense loans and others have kept the interest earned on them. My amendment requires that nurs ing homes keep a separ­

ate and discreet accounting for each patient's personal funds, including details of income and expenditures from them . . _.......,

The other amendment allows greater flexibility in pr\. _ ~ ing federal assistance for state Medicaid fraud control unlts, for which a three-year program has been created which covers 90 per cent of the operating costs up to a certain limit, These fraud units were originally required to be part of the state At­torney General's oifice or similar agency unless prohibited by state law. This requirement would have excluded Maine from the program due to the nature of our existing anti-fraud Ln­\'estigation structure.

My amendment was intended to make it easier for such existing fraud units as Malne's to be eligible for this federal funding. As a result of this amendment, the law now permits fraud units to be eligible even if they are not within the Attor­ney General's office--provided they have a working relationship with the Attorney General's office and are independent of the state Medicaid agency.

Such language would leave the door open for states such as :\Iainetoworkout an arrangement which would qualify the state for this important funding program.

Considering the role Medicare and Medicaid abuses play in unnecessarily inflating health costs, Medicare/Megl,9aic:l Anti-Fraud and Abuse Amendments can also help in our battle to control health cost inflation. Moreover, it will ensure that the elderly , poor and disabled benefit from Medicare .and Medicaid assistance through an efficient program free of fraud and abuse .
