Machias Savings Bank has donated $25,000 to the Calais Pool Project, a campaign in place to restore Howard Fox Memorial Pool. This sum will be provided in $5,000 increments over the next five years. “We enjoy supporting the community and are happy we are able to do this,” MSB Manager Ron Gardiner said of the contribution.

Raw Customs Offers Mobile Vehicle CustomizationBy Lura Jackson

In any rural area, it is often the access to transportation that de-fines our independence. While in times past the railroad and steamships provided sufficient mobility over long distances, it is the personal automobile that now fulfills the task. For most Mainers, vehicles are prized possessions that assist in both work and play. Augmenting those vehicles with the newest features—such as sound sys-tems, remote starters, and back-up cameras—can dramatically improve their functionality, but few businesses in eastern Maine offer such installations.

That’s where Raw Customs comes in—and owner Bernie Yost is fully willing to come to any customer between Calais

and Bangor and beyond. As a Mobile Electronics Certified Professional, Yost offers the installation of “anything related to electrical upgrades” for any vehicle. Yost travels in his mo-bile office, a stylized truck that serves as a demonstration model for his work. The cab is outfitted with two DVD players—one for the front passenger and one for those in the rear—a back-up camera, satellite radio, separate laptop and phone stations, and a GPS unit with its wiring subtly hidden.

“Anyone that loves music will love the work I do,” Yost said, explaining that music is one of his passions. “The louder, the better.”

Originally from Florida, Yost moved to the area in July of 2015 with his wife Christy, twelve-year old Allison, eleven-year old Bernie, Jr., and Gus and Buster, an amusing bulldog and terrier duo. They moved into the home of Christy’s grandmother on Germain Street, which she inherited after her grandmother passed away in recent years.

It was Yost’s idea to move to Maine to enable easier rehabili-tation of the old house, which dates prior to 1900. Christy—herself having been raised in the Bangor area—was initially against the idea. “You people are all Floridians!” she recalls saying to her family. “You have no idea what it’s like to finish shoveling out your drive way and then have the snowplow come and bury it again!”

A few days after they arrived in July, however, two kids came over and asked to show Bernie, Jr. and Allison around town. They were gone for four hours, which caused some worry. When they came home, howev-er, they spoke of the wonderful time they had. They had gone to see a kickball game, and while watching it, the players paused the game and invited them to join in. “That right there—it’s all worth it for my children to have the same childhood I did.”

It was a drastic change from Florida. Although they were ten minutes from the beach, the high crime was not worth the trade, especially with kids. “We lived in a place where you

didn’t know your neighbors and everyone had fenced-in yards,” Christy said.

In January, Yost officially started Raw Customs, resuming the trade he has spent his entire life developing. He remembers working on his father’s vehicles before he could drive, and then shortly thereafter customizing his own cars. Following an in-ternship at Audio Wizards that gave him experience building a show car for Kicker to put on display at Napi, he soon took a position working in the vehicle bay at Best Buy. He worked at Best Buy for eight years as the lead install technician, and that was where he noticed a trend.

“Customers would always ask if we could come to them,” he said. “But we never could. We had to work on Best Buy’s schedule.” There were other limitations that hampered the fulfillment of certain requests. “We couldn’t work with table saws or with fiberglass.”

Thus, when they came to Maine, Yost resolved to be mo-bile. “With Maine being such a spread out state, I wanted to make it as easy for my clients as possible. Rather than requir-ing them to mess up their day to come to me to have something installed, I’ll come to them. I’ll go to workplaces, colleges, or come out on weekends, what-

ever works best for the cus-tomer.”

Yost offers a variety of top-name brands for his clients, including Rockford Fosgate, Metra, Crime Stopper, and Kenwood. To contact him for

Pool to Open This Summer, Thanks to Community Efforts By Jayna Smith

With the amount of work and money needed for improve-ments to the Howard Fox Me-morial Pool, many wondered if it would be "sink or swim" for the nearly sixty year old summer attraction. Thanks to numerous community members and businesses, the pool will not only open for the season with a new $70,000 filtration system, it will likely have all--or very near--the $180,000 worth of necessary upgrades completed this year.

In detail, after the filtration system, $25,000 is needed for asphalt. This is for the pool bottom and deck surface. Just over $50,000 is needed for the concrete work. This includes sandblasting, patching and pav-ing part of the pool bottom and deep end walls. Replacement skimmers and coping requires another $36,000. The last ma-jor upgrades to the pool, which included the filtration system, occurred back in 1987.

City Manager Jim Porter and Recreation Director Craig Mor-

rison announced earlier this week that a $50,000 grant from the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation has been received as the result of an application for the grant. This is in addition to $15,400 raised by commu-nity donations with a $10,000 match from Tradewinds Shop 'n Save, and numerous substantial donations from local banking institutions and businesses. Additionally, an announce-ment will be made next week on the total brought in at Pratt Chevrolet Buick GMC, where owner Ian Pratt has pledged to match up to $10,000 to dona-tions to the cause made at his dealership.

Most recently, Porter said, was news that the Charles G. Wright Endowment for Hu-manity has pledged to match up to $25,000 in donations. If this amount can be matched, Porter anticipates all of the necessary work on the pool could be com-pleted this year.

"We have the chance to do the whole thing," Porter stated. "We're going to be open this summer with the filtration

system. We're close (to the amount needed for all repairs and upgrades). We need to have that Wright foundation money matched and we could make our overall goal. If we don't, we won't be short much."

With the amount received already, the filtration system has been ordered, as have the coping and skimmers. "The next thing would be to redo the cement work which is the basin of the deep end. The last phase would be the pavement which is the slanted part of the pool

and the apron, and that has to have cure time so we wouldn't take that on until after it closed. So it could all happen this year, before we open next year," Porter explained.

The pool proves to be a vital asset to the community with over 8,000 visitors throughout the summer months, Morrison said. It is open seven days a week during the summer with various swim programs for all ages. This include public swim, adult swim, water aero-bics, swim lessons, and more.

Regarding the support from the community, Porter said, "It's been tremendous. The City of Calais has a history of supporting the youth, even though the pool is more than just for youth."

He added, "We're over half way there. We could reach our overall goal to make it new again for another thirty years."

Food for Thought Gains Momentum with Well-Attended Event

The second Food for Thought event was attended by 150 community members, each of whom enjoyed a presentation on child development, group yoga, velvet art, and a homecooked meal. The event was held at Washington County Community College. (Submitted photos)

By Lura Jackson

Despite having started only four months ago, the Calais Food for Thought group is continuing to gain momentum through its increasingly well-attended events. The second event—held on Tuesday, April 5th at Washington County Community College—had 150 registrants, including almost 80 children. The pro-gram has been so successful that it is being used as a model for other communities.

“It’s desperately needed in this area,” Sue Clark said. Clark is the nurse at Calais El-ementary School. “It’s a way for people to get together and hear good information. Every topic is relevant.”

The second event included a presentation by Early Child-hood Development specialist Julie Redding, who spoke to parents about the value of understanding what chil-dren are experiencing as they grow. “One of the challenges with our kids and their prob-lem behaviors is that we can sometimes take it personally,” she said. If we instead make the effort to understand why children behave the way they do, we can more effectively address their needs without taking on unnecessary frustra-tion or stress.

Reducing stress was the primary focus of the event, which also featured two pre-senters instructing children and their parents on yoga techniques. Samantha Wil-liams guided the adults while Christine Morris led a few groups of enthusiastic chil-dren.

Organizer Helen Messe-mer-Thomas addressed the importance of teaching stress-reducing techniques to chil-dren. “Thirty-four percent of children have been diagnosed with stress-related disorders,” she said. Percentages climb in households affected by additional challenges such as food insecurity, which is one reason why each Food for Thought event includes a free meal for all attendees. Approximately forty percent of children in Washington County experience hunger at some point, or roughly double the national average.

The meal at the second event was prepared by grandmothers in the area using food donated from the Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry. Var-ious dishes of macaroni and cheese were provided along with ample salad, homemade rolls, apples, and cheesecake.

All extra food was packaged up in to-go containers for families wishing to take home leftovers.

Also sponsoring the event was Calais Press, Catholic Charities Human Develop-ment, and Calais Headstart. “Food for Thought is aligned with the Head Start philoso-phy of promoting good nutri-tion, family education, and family time together,” Marcia Rogers, Director of the Head-start in Calais, said. “This is an absolutely great thing that we will want to partner with again in the future.”

In addition to the free meal, presentation, and yoga ses-sions, children were also able to participate in an open coloring session featuring velvet art. “Every one of our presentations will involve something creative, as well as something physical,” Messe-mer-Thomas said.

The events have been warmly received by families, most of whom plan to con-tinue attending them. One family—consisting of Kather-ine, Mike, and 19-month old Reed—participated in both the first and second events. “I really enjoyed the first event. It gave me something to do with my son,” Katherine said.

“It’s great to see this kind of response,” Deacon Al Bur-leigh of Catholic Charities said, adding that it was par-

ticularly remarkable given how quickly the program was put together. “We can learn from what they have accom-plished and take that to other communities.”

The May event is tenta-tively planned to be focused on nutrition and how to make healthy meals on a low bud-get. Messemer-Thomas said that pre-registration has al-ready hit 260 attendees. The nutrition presentation will include a crock-pot giveaway. To register or for further inquiries, contact [email protected]. If registering, provide the number of adults and children attending, along with the ages of the children.

Recently, I was involved in a conversation online talking about one of the most popular topics today: other people's business.

After breaking one of my most stringent rules and com-menting on a remark that was meant to create controversy, I thought it would make a good conversation starter for those of you who read these editorials.

With so many of us in the community struggling one way or another, isn't it wasted energy to try and judge how others live their lives? Sure, we all can see something in the next person's cart at the store that we deem frivolous, but is that our business? It's a waste of time and produces nothing but boosting your own self impor-tance. The bottom line is that making ourselves feel better than the next guy, does nothing to improve our lives and our community as a whole.

How about engaging with that person instead of putting them down? I don't mean give them unwanted advice. Making a connection with people who live where you do makes their lives (and yours) meaningful. This isn't just a tree hugger trait, it builds all of us up and connects the very people who are trying to make a life in a real way. We don't live in a bubble and the harder you try to separate yourself as someone who "would never" or "I can't believe," you are eroding away the sense of community that we all need to live a better life.

I am not talking about taxes or welfare or where you live. I am speaking about being hu-man. Make those around feel human by letting go of the judgmental attitude that is so prevalent in our society, and just be kind. It's tax free and helps everyone.

What do you think? Would your community benefit from a little more cohesiveness and a little less judgement? Let me

know your thoughts at [email protected]

To The Editor:In response to a recent letter

from Rick Green regarding the decline in attendance-mem-bership of Knights of Pythias Anchor Lodge No. 41, I would like to add my comments to encourage new and existing members of the Order for both the Knights of Pythias and Py-thian Sisters.

This organization was found-ed at the close of the American

Civil War with a goal to pro-mote brotherhood and sister-hood.

I have been a member of Maple Leaf Temple No. 30, Pythian Sisters for over forty years; and as Rick states, we are much smaller now. Folks seem to be busy with work, fundraising and just plain mak-ing it through! But everyone is supposed to take time for them-selves, as well. That is part of

being a Pythian. We contribute to many worthy causes - while we contribute to our own per-sonal growth through this fra-ternal journey.

The Knights of Pythias Sis-ters stand united in our efforts to contribute to society while pursuing personal growth. I believe our beautiful ceremo-nies and the many friendships that evolve through Pythianism are very rewarding.

Readers are encouraged to check out the Pythian websites and call your nearest Pythian to get your application for membership accepted. If all else fails, call me at (506) 466-4482. Don't miss out on the most rewarding experience of your life. Join today.

Spruce Budworm Science Project Seeks Volunteers

The Budworm Tracker pro-gram, a component of the Healthy Forest Partnership, is expanding and looking for volunteers to join its Budworm Tracker citizen science pro-gram in Northern Maine.

The Budworm Tracker Pro-gram is part of a large scientific initiative aimed at better under-standing how spruce budworm populations rise and spread. Spruce budworm is one of the most damaging native insects affecting balsam fir and spruce trees in Canada and northern Maine. Outbreaks, such as the one currently in Québec, Canada, often result in wide-spread tree growth loss and death with effects that can last for decades.

“The Budworm Tracker team wants to engage interested citizens to help us conduct research and monitor spruce budworm populations in their own backyards and woodlots,” said Program Coordinator Em-ily Owens. "Our team is trying to better understand the extent that migrating moths coming from an outbreak, such as the current on in Québec, might play a roll in the rise and spread of spruce budworm.”

The program was launched in 2015 to help scientists in-crease their understanding of

the spruce budworm by having citizens assist with the collect-ing and sharing of scientific data.

In Eastern Canada, several hundred volunteers have signed up for the 2016 season in and the program is looking to add 30-40 volunteers in northern Maine. These volunteers range from families who are inter-ested in science and forestry, to industry and forestry stake-holders. As citizen scientists, they are asked to trap and col-lect spruce budworm moths at least once per week during the flight season, between June and August, and send the data back to the research team. The traps are supplied for free and come with simple instructions. A short video also describes the program.

In ME, the research team is particularly interested in recruiting volunteers in loca-tions as southern as Bangor and as northern as the border with Québec and New Brunswick.

Individuals working or living in these areas who are interested in becoming a citizen scientist can visitwww.budwormtracker.ca or call:

Baileyville Town Council By Danielle Smith

The Baileyville Town Coun-

cil Meeting came to order at 6:00 p.m. last Monday, April 11, 2016. The agenda needed slight modification due to con-flicting scheduling of depart-ment heads.

Andrew Snowman was on hand to answer questions re-garding the Baileyville Land Use and Shoreland Zone Or-dinance. A "first reading of Proposed amendment to the Baileyville Land Use Ordi-nance" was read. Councilor David McAlpine motioned

to "accept first reading of the proposed amendments to the Baileyville Land Use Ordi-nance and Shoreland Zone Ordinance, move it to public hearing and seconded reading" at the regular town council meeting on April 25, 2016.

Mike Boies, parks and recre-ation director, presented quotes on two lawn mowers. Coun-cilor Carl Ripley motioned to purchase the lawnmower using funds from the current bud-get funds (capital equipment) and authorized "purchase of a new mower for a price not to exceed $6719.04.” Councilor

McAlpine seconded the motion and the council voted unani-mously in favor.

Newly elected Carl Ripley made his first official motion as councilor to accept Ac-counts Payable Warrant #73 in the amount of $10,799.06, Payroll Warrant #74 in the amount of $14,585.28, Payroll Warrant #75 in the amount of $12,928.15, Accounts Payroll Warrant #76 in the amount of $13,713.96, Ac-counts Payable #69 in the amount of $56,056.28. Coun-cilor McAlpine seconded the motion and the council voted

unanimously in favor.Jamie McLaughlin, public

works director, was pleased to report that the department was able to remove all plows and sanders from the town equip-ment now that the weather is finally showing signs of spring. McLaughlin stated he believe all streets in Baileyville have been "hit at least once by the sweeper."

The council had asked Town Manager Rick Bronson to present a list of tax acquired town owned properties. The list consisted of 25 properties, and after a thorough review,

the council decided to place six properties to public sale. Coun-cilor Ripley motioned to "place out to public sale by sealed bid the properties identified on the attached list." Councilor Steve Knowles seconded the motion. Ripley, Knowles, and Tim Call voted in favor, while McAlpine opposed the motion. A list of the properties can be obtained at the town office.

The next Baileyville Town Council Meeting is scheduled for April 26, 2016 at 6:00 p.m.

WCCC Students to Rehabilitate Devil’s Head

By Lura Jackson

The students of the Heavy Equipment program at Washington County Community College will be lending their vehicular ex-pertise to the project to rehabilitate Devil’s Head, the 315-acre conservation area on the St. Croix River. The students will be utilizing a bulldozer and a grader to restore the gravel road lead-ing to the parking lots at the site.

“This is a perfect opportunity for our students,” program direc-tor Artie Mahar said. Providing hands-on work experience is a vital part of the Heavy Equipment program, giving students the ability to utilize their accumulated knowledge of the machines to benefit a community project.

Once the roads are restored within the next week or so, the Friends of Devil’s Head volunteer group are planning to do ex-tensive brush work to clear the trees, branches, and undergrowth on either side of the road. That will enable the students of WCCC to return in the fall and repair the ditches and trenches.

Not only has WCCC offered its support in terms of repairing the roads, President Joseph Cassidy has extended that support indefinitely. The school will continue to maintain the site going forward, including working other projects as needed such as renovating the toilets, creating and repairing signs, and creating a viewing platform of St. Croix Island at the summit.

The news was well-received by Friends of Devil’s Head founder Brand Livingstone, who feels fully confident that the group’s goals will be achievable with the help of the college and the several volunteers that have offered their time. There will be an organizational meeting for volunteers on Saturday, April 16th at 10 a.m. at the Holmestead on Main Street and all are welcomed to attend. The anticipated work date for the group will be April 23rd and 24th at Devil’s Head.

Project OWN Yields Three Arrests

Nara Newll (Washington County Jail photo)

By Jayna Smith

Last Friday, April 8th, Calais Police Department was joined by other local agencies as part of Project OWN (Operation Watch your Neighborhood). A sweep through town checking subjects "out on bail," Chief Dave Randall said, as well as those with active warrants, led to three arrests.

One of those arrested was Nara Newell, age 37, of Calais. She was arrested on Monroe Street and transported to Washington County Jail.

Also arrested was Ashley Prout, age 28, of Cal-ais. She was arrested on Baring Street and later bailed from Calais District Court.

Steven Gibson, age 37, of Calais, was arrested as well. He was arrested on South Street and later bailed from Calais District Court.

No further details about the arrests were pro-vided. "We feel this detail was a success and we will be conducting other details like this in the near future," Chief Randall stated.

This is the sixth year NYUCD has visited Machias to provide

important oral health ser-vices for the community. The partnership with Washington County Children’s Program and other local groups began in 2010 as a way to provide comprehensive dental care to children in Washington County who did not have a dental home or timely access to dental services. Since then

more than 1500 dental seal-ants and 833 fillings have been provided for nearly 900 Head Start and school-aged kids. Even more exciting, the NYUCD team typically treats almost 600 patients in one week, including adults who would otherwise not be able to access dental care.

The clinic will be held April 11th to16th at the Lee Pellon Event center located at 90 Main Street in Machias. The event is open to anyone hav-ing trouble accessing dental care. It is not meant to replace regular care they are already receiving at their local dental office. Complete dental care is available for children. Adults will be seen for emergency care on a walk-in basis, and the NYUCD team will help refer patients to local dentists for continued care. Services are provided at no out-of-pocket cost but insurance/ MaineCare will be accepted when available. Enrollment specialists will be available on-site to help patients iden-tify and apply for the health insurance coverage that best suits their needs.

The dental clinic is made possible by Northeast Delta Dental Foundation and Henry Schein Cares. The partners involved in the planning and implementation include Wash-ington County Children’s Pro-gram- a program of Sunrise Opportunities, Washington Hancock Community Agency, Down East Community Hos-pital, and Harrington Family Health Center.

NOW PLAYING AT STATE CINEMA IN CALAIS

By Kaileigh Deacon

On Friday the Calais High School Student Council, with the help of Washington County Community College, hosted the Eastern Regional Student Council Conference. The all-day event took place across the WCCC campsus from 11am to 3pm on Friday and hosted middle and high school student councils from across Washing-ton County.

The goal of the conference was for students to meet other students from different councils and network and learn from each other. The day was a full day full of not only the chance to learn from other councils and students but to hear a guest speaker and attend several workshops.

The guest speaker this year was Brandon Baldwin from the Maine Attorney General’s Office. Mr. Baldwin works as the Schools & Curriculum Coordinator and works running the Maine Civil Rights Team Project. The Project works to help create safe, welcoming school environments for all students regardless of identity. Mr. Baldwin’s presentation fo-cused on how students can speak up and become leaders within their school given their roles in student government. He stressed the importance of exercising their voice and their leadership roles to help their fellow students.

The workshops offered also were aimed at helping the stu-dents develop their leadership skills to become better and stron-ger leaders. One workshop was also geared at helping students understand what colleges are looking for and how to get into the colleges they want. Some of the workshops were taught by teachers or former teachers while others were actually taught by some of the students themselves. One of the workshop leaders was former student Council advisor and former Calais High School teacher Rick Chaffey.

The Eastern Regional Con-ference also presents an oppor-tunity for the eastern regional

elections. Here students get the chance to run and get elected to the various positions avail-able to represent the eastern regionals as leaders at the state level. Students had to fill out nomination papers and deliver a speech at the Eastern Region Conference where the elections took place.

Student council provides stu-dents a chance to not only make a difference in their school but to learn and hone skills that will help them as they become adults and join the workforce. Brandon Baldwin expressed the impor-tance of not only civil rights team but student councils when said, “The cool thing about these groups is that these students go on to become adults.” These students will take the knowledge and skills they learn through these groups in high school and take them with them into their adult lives.

Since April is National Po-etry month, let’s start with a poem about libraries. This one is by poet Nikki Giovanni:

A Library(for Kelli Martin)a Library is:a place to be freeto be in spaceto be in cave timesto be a cookto be a crookto be in loveto be unhappyto be quick and smartto be contained and cau-

tiousto surf the rainbowto sail the dreamsto be blueto be jazzto be wonderfulto be youa place to beyeah… to be

That’s an apt description of Calais Free Library.

If you’re looking for a fun story time for your little one…we have Wiggles & Giggles on Fridays from 10:30 to 11:30 am. Then we have Tap Your Toes Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00.

Miss Joyce is having some special science programs dur-ing vacation week. There’s Dirt Boy on Wednesday, April 20th at 1 pm, Grossology 101 (Make SNOT) on Thursday, April 21st at 1 pm, Geysers on Friday April 22nd at 1 pm, and Kids’ Craft-a-mania on Saturday, April 23rd at 1 pm. For a more complete list of kids’ programs, pick up one of our schedules or check our new website (more on THAT in a moment).

For Magic the Gathering aficionados we host a group on Saturdays from 12 to 6 pm. And this is for everyone interested! In our present crew, ages range from 8 to… wellll…not sure Russ wants me to tell his age...

For the grownups there is Wednesday Morning Knitters from 10 to 11:30 am. And one Wednesday a month is reserved for The Book Lovers Café (also 10 to 11:30 am.). Tuesdays we have Coloring for Grownups from 10:30 to 11:30 am. We supply the coloring books, markers, and pencils. All you need to do is come on down and get your color on!

And, as I’ve mentioned, it’s National Poetry Month. We are having Soup and Poetry Night April 29th from 6 to 8 pm. Our Friends of the Library make

soups, breads, and desserts. People recite poetry! All kinds, poems they’ve written, poems others have written, poems that rhyme, poems that don’t rhyme. Some people step up to the microphone while others let that poetry fly out from right where they are in the audience! Please join us even if you only want to listen. We need listen-ers too!

Now, some of you already know this but at Calais Free Li-brary, you can check out maga-zines! Do you like magazines, or do you LOOOOOOOVE magazines and want to leave the store with your arms full of each and every one of the latest issues when they appear? But of course, we can’t do that …because A) who has the time to read all of them? B) who has the $$$ to buy all of them? And most importantly who has the space for them because you know there’s always a couple of really great articles that you want to save for later. Well Calais Free Library has quite a selection of magazines! Bet-ter Homes and Gardens, Time, Popular Mechanics, Yankee, Fine Cooking, Woodworkers Journal and so many more! The latest addition to our selection is Vanity Fair! So stop by get a card if you don’t have one and check out the latest issue of Vanity Fair…or Consumer Re-ports or Reminisce or National Geographic or Martha Stewart Living. You get the idea.

And before I forget, we have a new website! (Did you say that in a singsong voice? I wrote it in one!) Hop online and go to www.calaisfreelibrary.com and look things over!

A big new website shout-out to Amy Jeanroy for all of her expertise, guidance, pa-tience, advice, hand-holding and laughter!

There. I think I’ve used up all my exclamation marks.

So, as you can see, Calais Free Library has lots to offer. Come check us out!

Yanucks Stand Up Comedy in CalaisOrganized by The Reverend

Brian Giles and his wife Susan of Alexander, the Yanucks show will take place on Saturday, April 30th, at Calais Motor Inn, beginning at 9:00 pm.

The Giles duo began forming a stand-up comedy production company that displayed their dual citizenship (metaphoric and literal) called Yanucks. The tongue in cheek moniker brings together the terms Yankee and Canucks and embraces the bonds between the province and the state where The Rev gets on stage most often.

The host of the Calais show is, of course, The Reverend Brian Giles. He has performed at clubs, colleges, coffee shops, and closed casket funerals for crowds as large as seven. His material ranges from the tep-idly obscene to mildly absurd situational observations about life as a homesteader, husband, and hippy.

The Rev has performed with (or very near) Bob Marley, George Hamm, Brian Bringer, Steven Wright, and Elvis at venues ranging as far south at USVI St. John to as far north at Fredericton, New Brunswick, with spots in between.

Brian Brinegar will headline. He has a slow burn, manic style-delivery that has had audiences from Boston to Los Angeles questioning what they just saw. Still trudging along after what seems like an eternity in the business, Brinegar has garnered a small bit of notoriety during his tenure as a professional class clown. Thrice named Best Comic by the Portland Phoenix, Brinegar has also been featured on the Comedy Time Network, played at the Historic Ice House in Pasadena, The Improv, The Comedy Store in Hollywood and The Boston Comedy Con-nection.

Brinegar has also been seen in Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” video as the bartender, in a Dunkin Donuts commercial, in an Oxford Casino commercial, and was the WOOHOO! guy in the new Berlin City ads. Yes, sir, nothing should make you feel more confident your entertain-ment dollar was best spent at this evening of comedy than a string

of regional commercial credits. The Giles team’s next choice

was the feature act, Saint Jon Forward of St. John, New Bruns-wick. Forward has a uniquely dark, honest, laid back style. His (mostly) true stories have been captivating Atlantic Canadian audiences for years as he sky-rocketed to fame and became Saint John New Brunswick’s (self-proclaimed) #2 Stand-Up Comedian…even though he prefers to sit.

Before transitioning into stand-up comedy, he got his start doing character work at local music opens mic and as a host of the H to the C radio show/podcast. He has appeared on community TV show “Blimey! An English-man in Atlantic Canada,” an online sitcom called Hoveland and his own webshow, “The Jon Floorward Show.” Jon Forward also runs two monthly No Jokes Barred comedy shows in Saint John.

Last but not least, the opener

for the night will be Justin Arby. Since bursting onto the Maine comedy scene in 2015, Arby has been confusing audiences from Portland to Eastport with his thrilling, high-energy dead-pan brand of humor. Hailing from Southwest Harbor, he is considered the second most geo-graphically eastern comic in the continental United States.

Tickets are $15 and are sell-ing now at the Calais Veterinary Clinic and Calais Motor Inn, or via Brian Giles at 207-904-7605. Brian and Susan can also be contacted to book comedians for private events in the Washington County area.

The Yanucks Stand Up Com-edy show is for those ages 21 and older. Be warned there will be some offensive language and material. To those easily offended, STAY HOME! Stand up comedy is funny because it is ridiculous!

See page 2 to win a pair of tickets to the show.

ShinglesBy Dr. Peter Wilkinson

The chicken pox virus never

leaves the body and can come back later in life as Shingles. Shingles can strike at any time—causing a very painful, deep, penetrating and burning rash that may last up to thirty days. One in five people will experience long-term nerve pain long after the rash heals, called Postherpetic Neuralgia, which can remain for years and be quite debilitating.

Shingles symptoms hap-pen in stages. Initially, one may have a headache or be light-sensitive with flu-like symptoms. Later one feels itchy, tingly, or has pain in a certain area; a few days later a rash may occur. Shingles is characterized by a blister-ing rash on one side of the body associated with severe pain. The pain may precede the rash by 72 hours. When the rash occurs near the eye, immediate evaluation by an optometrist or ophthalmolo-gist is necessary to prevent the possibility of blindness. The weeping blisters contain the virus and are potentially contagious to those who have not had chicken pox or the chicken pox vaccine.

Shingles—if caught soon enough—can be treated with antiviral and pain medicines. The earlier the antiviral medi-cine is started, the faster the rash will heal, and the less pain one suffers, so it is important to see your provider right away. Antiviral medicines are only effective if given 24-72 hours after the rash develops.

If you develop Shingles, do not scratch the skin involved in the rash. This may increase the risk of bacterial infection and scarring. Over the coun-ter antihistamines and topical creams can help relieve the itching. After diagnosis and appropriate treatment, cool compresses to the weeping blisters several times daily for twenty minutes will help soothe and dry the blister. Keep the area clean with mild soap and water and wear loose

clothing to avoid rubbing against the rash. For those who develop Postherpetic Neuralgia, continuing use of additional medications to control the pain may be required or a referral to a pain manage-ment specialist.

There are currently two methods used to reduce the incidence of Shingles. First, the chicken pox vaccine can decrease the incidence of Shingles by enhancing the immune system’s ability to fight off the chicken pox virus or to keep the virus inactive. The vaccine is given to children and is 70-90% effective. Adult boosters of the vaccine are being investigated. Sec-ond, there is a Shingles vaccine, Zostavax, which is now approved for use in adults over age 50. Zostavax prevents about 50% of shingles and about 67% of Postherpetic Neuralgia.

The Shingles vaccine is generally well tolerated. Because it is a live vaccine, it would not be given to those with immune system diseases or on certain medica-tions. Patients with a reported history of shingles can still be vaccinated. Consult with your primary care provider to discuss whether this vaccine would be appropri-ate for you.

Dr. Peter Wilkinson is an Internal Medi-cine physician at Calais Regional Medical Services Internal Medicine. He provides a full complement of health services. CRMS care includes chronic disease manage-ment, acute care and injury visits, pre-ventative care, physicals, workers comp exams, and referrals for scope procedures. CRMS Internal Medicine can be reached at 454-8233 and is located at 19 Palmer Street in Calais.

The Calais boys, as part of Sluggers Facility's indoor baseball league, entered last Saturday's tournament in fourth place. In the first round, the team played against a house team of the facility's, Sluggers Blue.

For Calais, Zack Bridges had a strong game on the mound. He struck out seven, giving up two hits, allowing one run, without walking a batter.

Thomas Jude reached base three times, had an RBI, and scored a run. Matt Dana, Zack Bridges, and Hunter Boles all each scored a run.

Calais beat Sluggers Blue 4 to 1 in the first round of playoff action, advancing into the semi-finals.

In the semi-final game, Calais faced Hamp-den for the second time of the season. During regular play, the two tied, allowing Hampden to remain undefeated on the season.

Hampden proved why they were undefeated, jumping out to a 10-run lead after three innings. Kobe Saunders scored Calais' lone run, being driven in by Hunter Boles.

Hampden advanced to the finals where they were beaten by eventual champions, Houlton.

Coach Matt Vinson said, "I'm happy with our team's performance in this league. We had one of the smallest teams in the league and still had a good finish in fourth place. I think the kids improved and are more prepared for the upcoming little league season."

He added, "We all had fun, and I want to thank Sluggers for the opportunity and the parents of the kids for allowing them to play."

LINDA I. MCLAIN Orono and Calais – Linda

Isabel McLain, daughter of the late Joseph Theophilus (Theo) McLain and Marjo-rie Pender McLain, passed away on April 9, 2016 at a Bangor hospital.

She was born on October 13, 1942 in St. Stephen, New Brunswick. After attending Immaculate Conception Elementary School, she graduated first in the class of 1961 from Calais Memo-rial High School. In 1965, she earned a B.S. degree in Education from the University of Maine at Orono. While at UMO, she was a member of Phi Kappa Phi honor society.

Linda began her teaching career in Houlton before returning to Calais where she was employed at the Calais Elementary School until 1993, when she retired from her second grade teaching posi-tion due to Muscular Dystrophy. A dedicated teacher, she devoted countless hours to instructional planning and preparation.

Although she missed her work in the classroom, Linda occu-pied her time with many interests and hobbies. She was an avid reader, a skilled seamstress, and despite her physical limitations, continued to work in her beautiful flower and vegetable gardens until a few years ago. She also enjoyed genealogical research and was a loyal fan of the Celtics and Patriots.

A devout Catholic, she was a member and past president of the ladies sodality of her parish. As a woman of strong principles and unwavering faith, Linda was an inspiration to many as she met the challenges and hardships of her deteriorating health with grace and determination.

The Blackbird and the Praying SaintBy Rev. Matt Burden, Second Baptist Church

Here’s a devotional poem based on a legendary story of prevailing prayer from the life of one of the ancient heroes of the Christian faith, Kevin of Glendalough.

Before he came to Glendalough,Before his bed of stone gave rest,Saint Kevin was a Cornwall monk,And learned from Saint Petroc the bless’d. Some men are fashioned for the crowd,For hearty smiles and time with friends;But Kevin, no, not one of these:His were the mountains and the glens. The company of saints and monksWould be his calling and his kin;But in his heart he longed to beAmong the wilds and the wind. And so he took much time aloneAmid the hours in abbey walls,To play the hermit on the hill,Where skylark soars and blackbird calls. One Lententide he prayed up there,All by himself, but not alone;For with him all creation prayedWhere river ran and sunlight shone. He prayed with mind and with his mouth,His heart confessed its sinful dross;And with his body too he prayed,His arms outstretched in holy cross. Then on his palm he felt the touchOf tiny feet and tiny claws;He saw a blackbird roosting there,And in its beak a clutch of straws. It fashioned in his outstretched handA nest for raising up its chicks;And there it settled, all at peace,Within its bowl of straw and sticks.

Saint Kevin held the nest aloftIn sacred rev’rence of its load;And he with bird, in patience prayedAbove the monastery road. The eggs were laid, and still he stoodLike Moses o’er the battle fray,And angels were his Aaron, Hur,Upholding arms stretched out to pray. Day after day he stood there, still,While eggs were hatched inside the nest;And chicks were fledged, and stood, and flew,Before Saint Kevin earned his rest. The legend says he stood in prayer‘Til mother bird had gone her way;Her nest had stood on his sure branchAll through that Lent, to Easter day. Sometimes in life we are the bird,And need a place of peace to rest;So fly unto the holy cross,And there alone construct your nest. The cross will hold you, it is sure,For it is fixed in God’s great love;And at the cross you are upheldBy Christ himself, who reigns above. And sometimes too we are the saint,Called to stand and wait in prayer;So be the blessing this world needs,Be Saint Kevin, if you dare: Your prayers, your love, can be the toolTo grant your neighbors peace from strife;So persevere in loving prayer,And bring the blessing through to life.

LODGING

Out and About By Dorothy Johnson

“Free, free, free at last!”The many April rains we have en-

joyed this past week were cold rains as the temperatures were seasonal and the winds blew. A rain/wind storm on Thursday snapped trees, broke power lines and put Maine television stations (NBC 2, CBS 5, ABC 7, and MPBN) off the air at my temporary home. I did hear a station carrying the Red Sox game went off air in Woodland on Sunday. I also heard that this event brought a storm of the human kind to Woodland Heights.

Congratulations to the local el-ementary schools that participated in the robot competition at the Uni-

versity of Maine at Machias. The Challenge Award went to Universal Robots of Edmunds Elementary School and awards for Best Overall, Presentation and Public Speaking went to the Happy Bots of Charlotte Elementary School.

Congratulations to all of the young ladies chosen for the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citi-zens’ Award. Students are chosen by the teachers’ and staff’s perception of their dependability, service, leader-ship and patriotism. Winners in our local area are Caitlin Reynolds of Calais High School, Hannah Lank of Shead High School and Sara Boies of Woodland High School.

The halls of Woodland High School have taken on a new appear-

ance as junior high students Alexis Moody, Paige Fitch and Brooke Russell painted a meaningful Dr. Seuss quotation on the walls of the junior high. Mia Emery did a mural of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” on the high school walls.

Calais High Students inducted into the Tri-M Music Honor Society were Issac Johnson, Rylie Sluzenski, Katie Cavanaugh, Kassidee Ramsey, Anna Jean McClure and Thomas Champagne. This fine organization recognizes students who are gifted in and dedicated to music in their schools.

Jobs for Maine Graduates’ (JMG) class participated in a day-long conference –competition last week. Bringing home awards were Mia

Emery 1st place for employment interview, Ryan McIver, Kasey Grass and Sarah Boies placed 3rd in the Pitch-it competition, Gabe Hunnewell placed 3rd in College Admissions Skills and Jason Jones and Windsor Brook took 3rd in Communications. Congratulations to all participants and winners.

Woodland High School students, Noah Petru-celli and Gabe Hunnewell, brought home medals from the Academic Decathlon Competition in Scarborough. Noah earned a gold medal in inter-view and Gabe won a medal for overall score.

The Dennysville- Edmunds Congregations Church will hold an Italian dinner on Friday, April 16th.

Avis Whorley turned 85 last week and was honored with a belated birthday party. She is a Pembroke native and after working “away” for several years, she returned to settle on the Leighton Point Road. She works on many church activities and makes a great coconut pie.

Saturday morning, April 16th, the Spring Meeting of the Washington County Association of Congregational Churches will be held on Little Deer Isle beginning at 9:30am. Decisions will be made about music, missions and pastoral leadership in Washington County. Delegates from Dennysville and Perry are needed to rep-resent our area.

Ann Carter’s brother did not die. This was er-roneously reported by me. I offer my apologies to Ann and especially her brother.

Allena Corbett has been in the hospital since last summer. Her friends will be hosting a ben-efit supper at the Spednic Club for her on April 30th. It will be a spaghetti supper and include a Chinese raffle. More details will follow in next week’s column.

The senior class of Woodland High School held a very successful fund raiser at the Spednic Club this past week. The class and their parents earned over $3000 for their Project Graduation trip.

Members of the People’s United Methodist Church heard some good news last week about Trudy Lydic Pool. She suffered a stroke about eight years ago and has been incapacitated since then. Now at her residence in Lincoln, she has progressed to the point of being able to wheel herself out of the facility, sit outside for a bit and then get herself back in. This is a real ac-complishment and everyone is happy to hear of her progress.

Friends are feeling poorly these days. The hospital admits sick people as soon as they have an empty bed. I think this crazy weather is making us all sick. Good wishes this week are going out to Jimmy Lund, Bud Ferry, Steve and Linda Croman, Madeline Perkins, Elwin Daley and anyone else needing a lift.

Stay safe and have a good week.

I had some positive comments from readers on the last few recipes. This week I have decided to go with another snack/dessert that is easy to make. The total time invested for this recipe is 25 minutes (preparation time 15 minutes and cooking time 10 minutes). The recipe makes 54 cookies for quick snacks, school festivities or donations to a bake sale. It would also be a great recipe to enlist the help of your children or grandchildren. This recipe was found in the Courier Weekend of March 25th.

Best Sugar CookiesIngredients:

Two and one half cups of all purpose flourOne-half teaspoon baking soda

One-half teaspoon cream of tartarOne-quarter teaspoon salt (optional)

One cup margarineThree-fourths cup granulated sugar (divided)

One-half cup confectioners/icing sugarOne egg

One-half teaspoon vanilla extractMethod:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in medium bowl. Beat margarine, one-half cup granulated sugar and confectioners sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until blended.

Gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended. Shape dough into one-inch balls, then roll in remaining one-fourth cup granulated sugar, arrange on ungreased baking sheet, two inches apart. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass. Bake 10 minutes or

until edges are golden brown. Cool sheets 2 minutes on wire rack. Remove cookies from sheets and cool completely

I am thinking about social activities in the "old" days. I am sure prejudices are alive and well in those times, but for some reason neighbors and people, in general, seemed more friendly. Visiting neighbors for the after-noon was a popular past time with or without tea and coffee. I can remember going with Mama or Aunty to visit Mattie (McNutt) Carson and Myrtle (McNutt) Boyden both when they lived together on the Ridge and before that when Myrtle lived on the Lake Road on the Boyden homestead. We also visited with Edie (Bugby) Cook on the Ridge Road. I used to marvel at how Edie Cook lived in Robbinston, had a Pembroke phone number and an address for Perry. I wondered how she could remember all of that.

Mattie, Myrtle, Edie, Myra Johnson Carson and "Little" Helen Cleland were all inter-esting people to visit. They were of my aunt's era except for "Little" Helen and Myra Carson who were older. "Little" Helen, (called "Little" to distin-guish her from another Helen Cleland), lived in the big house where KKKatie's Chocolates were made. I cannot remember all of her many adventures, but I remember my family members commenting on her intelligence and the many trips she took to other lands. This traveling behavior was not the custom

for most Robbinston women so that stood out in my mind. (I think she was a teacher and did missionary work but I could be wrong.)

The ladies would spend time talking about upcoming events, knitting and quilting patterns and showing their embroi-dery work. Only a few were book readers but they were all newspaper readers who had their own opinions of politics both local and national. These ladies appreciated their right to vote and did not miss any opportunity.

Myrtle Boyden was a life-long learner. She asked me to teach her algebra just because it fascinated her. Probably of all those women, only "Little" Helen Cleland and my mother had graduated high school. Still, in many ways they were learned - or at least curious about everything.

The best times for me were when the ladies got together for a quilting bee. The church vestry was too cold for use in the cold months so the quilting bee was usually held at Aunty's. Uncle Hum and I would clear most of the furniture out of her living room so she would have room for the quilt and quilters.

Aunty owned long, smooth, narrow strips of wood for the frames. She had tacked a heavy, durable cloth along

By Dorothy Johnson

the edge of the wood. This was where the backing of the quilt was attached on all four frames once the frames were clamped together. Then she would spread her "filling" on the back. (Sometimes the fill-ing was cotton batting; some times it was an old blanket.) Once the batting was settled, the patchwork top was spread over it. All of the wrinkles had to be taken out of every layer so the finished product would be smooth.

At one time Aunty would put her frames on the backs of chairs or on a stand. These items were not always the same height so Uncle Waldo Tarbell built her four identical frame

holders. These were the right height for the quilters and the process went more smoothly.

The ladies would then line up on two opposite sides of the quilt and begin the job. They worked towards each other and as they finished the parts they could easily reach, then the frames had to be rolled. This went on until the ladies met in the middle of the quilt and it was finished.

Sometimes they did fancy quilts like the wedding quilt, but most of the time they used patch work cloth of different sizes and shapes. Then they chose a pattern to enhance the beauty or they decided to quilt around the patchwork pieces

in a special way. The quilting on the top helped the quilt stay together and the quilting on the back made fancy patterns.

I remember that in some of the quilts I would recognize my old blouses or Aunty's house dresses. The recognition of the pieces was as comforting as the quilt itself.

Now many women go to stores to buy material for their modern-day quilts. This never happened in the old days. Their material was not new; it had to be resurrected from a former life. Those old quilts were just as beautiful and just as warm-ing as the quilts of today.

Breakneck Mountain ATV trails have been posted and are closed for mud season until May 15th unless it is de-termined by the club to open them earlier.

Big goings on in Alexander on April 23rd! Friends and family will gather at AES to help Freddy and Linda Wallace celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary hosted by daugh-ters Tanya Fossett and Tracey Brasier. The party will be from 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. and they are asking for no gifts but if you are so inclined you can bring a donation for Sar-ah’s House in Brewer, things like bottled water, brownie and muffin mixes, individual snack packs, paper clips, cof-fee filters, and postage stamps. What a wonderful way to cel-

ebrate a wonderful couple. Hope to see you there!

At the recent town meeting, John Dudley asked about some numbers on page 9. Karen Poor, our treasurer, wanted to be sure of the answer so she passed on this information later that week. The column labeled “Other Credits” gives money due the town during the fiscal year, but not received yet. The biggest amount in this column is over $113,000 which rep-resents the final payment for school subsidy from the state. The matching column “Other Charges” shows money the town owed for the past fiscal year, but had not paid. Again the biggest amount for the schools, and that amount in-cludes what we owe our teach-ers for their work from Sep-tember through June. Most of us have the same thing happen

with our household budgets, but we don’t have to send our books to an auditor. We just keep in mind that the check is in the mail, or the bill for the new stove will arrive next week. Thank you, Karen Poor, for the answers.

Karen Poor also let me know that they have a few people who might volunteer for the positions of Tax Assessor, but the town officials are not sure yet. Justin Van Dongen is the man the town hired to do the re-evaluation on the town and will be covering the taxes this year and training whoever does step up to fill the posi-tions, along with Josh Kinney.

On April 23rd the People’s United Methodist Church in Baileyville will be having their Annual Spring Fling. At-tic treasures, clothes, bake sale and luncheon will be available from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

On April 29th, People’s United Methodist Church will have another free family mov-ie night, showing “Peanuts.” Popcorn and a beverage will be provided. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. and the movie will start at 6:00 p.m.

Birthday wishes this up-

coming week go out Laura Jamieson, Joe Fossett, Eric Brasier, Eleanor Fecteau, Marty Colson, Phil McArthur, Carol Pollock, Diana Howell and Diane McAlpine.

Anniversary wishes this up-coming week go out to Eric and Tracy Wallace Brasier. I wish you both many more years of wedded bliss!

Good thoughts are being sent out to the following folks: Ronny McArthur, Mathew Sullivan, Ed Cislak, Rhoda Leavitt, Lynn Hill, Avis McIn-tyre, Chris Landry, Dottie Johnson, John Harvey, Eleanor Dean, Trudy Poole, Madeline Perkins, David Carson, Char-lie White, Elwin Daley, Vicki O’Neil, Gail Moffitt, Luann Durgin and Pete James.

Lucky Loser the past week at Randy’s Variety was Ricky Seeley. If you would like a chance at being a lucky loser, buy an online lottery ticket at Randy’s and if it doesn’t win, put it in the jar for a second chance at receiving $5 worth of online tickets.

This week at the Beck-ett Center we spent a lot of time playing games including UNO, Yahtzee and Band Hero,

and we went to WCCC for the Olympic Spring Games prac-tice. We had a dance class and boogied down. We had anoth-er great meal which included delicious chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting in cel-ebration of a friend’s birthday.

This week I also saw a very dear friend, Chaplain Mike Hutchins, from Border Patrol. He is a kind and caring man who has helped my family out so much in a time of need and now has become a great friend. Wish we could see him more and under happier cir-cumstances.

Friday night Mom and I headed to People’s United Methodist Church in Bai-leyville to see the movie “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” There were between 40 and 45 children in attendance. The movie was very good and I would recommend it to any-one who likes a good action sci-fi.

If you have news for the col-umn you can get it to me by email at [email protected], or by phone at 454-2344. You can also leave news for me at AES. Until next time, stay safe.

454-2625It’s April 11th, why is it so

cold? I went to Bangor today and darned near froze. Walk across any parking lot and the wind was blowing and even some snow in the air. No san-dals on this lady’s feet. I can’t believe I can’t get my toes out in the air. Maybe next week?

In November of 2015 I learned that Bud and Janice Ferry were living here in town at the apartment complex on Lupine Lane. Today I learned that Janice has moved back to Charlotte and, of course, Bud is at Ross Manor in Bangor. Now I have to say good-bye to this sweet couple and wish them the very best as each day passes.

Many families and friends

were in town for the funeral of Dale Olsson. Dale’s daughter was here from Gorham and his son Wayne was here from Ban-gor. Dale’s brothers were here, Mark and family from Corinth and Glenn from Arkansas. Here at the Doten’s, we had Jeff and Carol for a couple of days. What a sad way to have loved ones gather.

Eddie Noddin is traveling to Brewer on a daily basis for radiation treatments. Travel safely, Eddie....that drive is not fun, especially every day. Good luck and best wishes as you complete this miserable task.

Congratulations to Han-nah Lockenwitz and Kaleigh Pelletier for the great job they did with the elementary level cheering competition.

They cheer for the Woodland Elementary School and Rec-reation Department.

Saturday, April 16, James and Starla Dean will present a gospel concert at the Sec-ond Baptist Church in Calais. Music starts at 6:30 pm. If you enjoy southern gospel, you will enjoy this.

Sunday in church we cel-ebrated new grandchildren. Dennis and Chris Gillespie have a grandson, Dana and Ruby Johnson have a grand-daughter, and Carole Smith is a great grandmother cour-tesy of her granddaughter Alicia. New babies are the very best!

Good luck to Dottie John-son as she returns home after spending over 30 days at Calais Regional Hospital and 17 days before that at Eastern Maine Medical Center. That’s a long time to be away from

her animals and home. She is well on the mend and feeling so much better. I would like to say “thank you” to all the medical staff at both hospitals for taking such good care of my dear friend.

Well, I have no wild or crazy story to report this week. My days were fairly normal, at least for me, and I didn’t get into any trouble. And how many believe that?

I do want to send several hugs to the Olsson family es-pecially Alice and Evelyn, to Duane McLellan who broke his leg, to Stacey Doten for successful hip replacement surgery, to Billy Gibson of Milltown and Florida for recent heart surgery, and to Joni Doten for the love of her mastiffs.

I hope to hear from you for more news next week.

The signs of spring contin-ue to unfold around us. Two pairs of Mallard ducks arrived here last week. A flock of rob-ins filled the yard, and a chip-munk emerged from hiding to once again torment Scuffy. The Red Winged Blackbirds seem to have put us on their list of favorite feeders. Deer are also on the move. A year-ling frequents Mike Johnson’s yard. We suspect its mother is ready to deliver again and pushed this one away to fend for itself. Three more deer crossed over Route 191 near Stanhope Road.

As to the lake. Ice was back, now it’s gone -- hopefully, not to return until next winter. There was a skim of ice on the lake last Wednesday morning and gone by afternoon. With temperatures mostly above freezing overnight and warm-ing into the 50s during the day, perhaps we can say we are fi-nally into warmer weather ter-ritory. If activity around Terry Reynolds’ property is any in-dication, the new season has officially begun. Terry is once again the first to put his docks into the lake for the season. I cannot wait to see boats cruis-ing by and the sounds of sum-mer.

Congratulations to Chris and Dennis Gillespie on the birth of their new grandson, Isaiah Adam, to their son Adam and his wife Stephanie of Edding-ton. They have two little girls and now add this precious lit-tle boy to their family.

Let’s hope warm weather helps us to mark this week’s birthdays. Dana Reynolds cel-ebrates his on April 14, Lauren Cook on the 16th, and Pete Frost on the 20th. Happy 2nd Birthday to a little summer resident -- Avery Soloman, daughter of Amy (Rothberg) and Adam Soloman. She is the granddaughter of Meg (Teele) and John Rothberg of Teele Island. Avery recently celebrated at parties in New Jersey with family and another with her little friends,

Mark your calendars for another free concert and re-freshments at Second Baptist Church, Calais - Saturday, April 16 at 6:30 p.m. James and Starla Dean will perform during this night of wonderful music and fellowship. A free-will offering will be taken.

For the second year, Calais Regional Hospital Auxiliary is

raffling a gorgeous, hand con-structed 3-story doll house. It is a beautiful Victorian style, with soft pink siding, white shutters and grey roof. It has a porch and beautifully finished interior spaces. Tickets are $2.00 each or $5 for 3. The drawing is Monday, June 6, so there is plenty of time to get some tickets for this worth-while cause that benefits our local hospital. It would make a great birthday or Christmas gift for a special little girl(s) or addition to someone’s collec-tion. Tickets are available at the Calais Hospital gift shop at the main entrance, from 9:30 am through 4:30 pm week-days, or a hospital auxilliary member.

454-0654What a beautiful Sunday. Spring is in the air at last. The wind

and rain storm last week caused power outages and fallen trees. It will take several weeks to clean up my property. It is also the beginning of mud season and the grass is turning green in spots.

The Sewall Memorial Congregational Church began services on Easter Sunday with a 7:00 services. Members of the Den-nysville and Perry churches lent their voices in praise and glory. Easter lilies adorned the alter. Contributing lilies were Darlene McConnell, Sue Crawford and Ann Carter. An Easter lily was also given in gratitude and honor of Barbara Brown Barnes for her lifelong love and devoted service to the congregation. The stained glass restoring process has run into some problems. Many of the wooden pieces that hold the glass in place had to be replaced and the finished windows are a little too large so they have to be fixed. The project turned out to be more expensive than thought. Donations of window in memory of a loved one in any amount would be appreciated. Call Ron or Colin at 726-3905.

Darlene McConnell celebrated her birthday by going out to lunch with two of her friends, Joan Olsson and me. She received many nice gifts and I hope she gets to celebrate many more.

Happy belated birthday to Denny Sterner on the 6th and Daw-son Critchly on the 9th, Kyle Sansoucie the 10th, Mary Ann Duvall the 11th, Michael A. Bodkin the 21st, Helen Brooks and Jill Caruso the 23rd.

My husband and I will celebrate our 33rd anniversary on the 17th.

The IFW has the following comments about Downeast fishing this season:

With the short ice fishing season this past winter, spring-time Downeast should bring a lot of opportunities.

“Early season should be ter-rific,” said IFW fisheries bi-ologist Greg Burr. “With the light fishing pressure we had this year, there should be some very good early season fish-ing.”

Burr said that there have been a few anglers out, but they are “not catching a whole lot. That should start to turn as soon as we get a little warm-er.”

Most of the lakes in the re-gion are now ice-free and open. West Grand Lake went out last Saturday, one of the earliest ice outs ever. Grand Lake Stream was also fishing well early, but the recent rains have bumped up the flows to 1200 cfs which is not condu-cive to river fishing.

As far as where to go salmon fishing this spring, Burr thinks that West Grand, Beech Hill, Branch, Donnell, Green, Tunk and Long Pond should all have some very good salmon fish-ing this spring.

The Farm Cove Hermit’s re-turns with his tales and words of wisdom:

“Let me take you back to a time when our great Nation was unified as never before or since. We all lived by the maxim ‘Use it up. Wear it out. Make do or go without.’ I was born during the height of the Great Depression shortly be-fore the advent of World War II. During my elementary school years and for a time after, everything was either

rationed or in short supply or simply not manufactured. I was unaware of growing up during ‘hard times.’

All of my pals and I were collectors. My life-long habit first began with small lead soldiers. Hours were spent ar-ranging them in mock battles. Next came marbles which I lugged in a leather bag. In school and after, we learned to compete and trade these neat glass and clay spheres. Stakes were raised when we hid be-hind school at recess and pitched pennies (the closest to the wall won). Five coins and you could buy a large candy bar. Comic books had just come on the scene. For a dime you could read and see your favorite super hero battle crooks and Nazis. Junior high came and it was time to learn some skills. Model airplane kits were the rage. Thin sheets of balsam wood with parts printed on them requiring that you cut each part with a razor

blade, glue them together and cover the frame with fabric. I never mastered the skills required. Fly-tying – same result. I did enjoy the hours spent with my chemistry and Elector set, along with stamp collecting and board games.’

By early teens I had made career choice. Any spare time was spent drawing. I would become a cartoonist. A good artist, I could duplicate ani-mals and comic book charac-ters but had no creative ideas. Growing up beside a pond and spending summers at camp and I became addicted to fish-ing. I spent more time in and on the water than a muskrat. Even today I have a collection of Grandfather’s wood base plugs.

We all have a recollection of our most special present. Mine was a single-shot Daisy BB gun. Out of BBs I cut up my Mom’s fake pearl necklace for ammo. Mother never said ‘wait until your father comes

home.’ Her brand of jus-tice was swift and sure. Her weapon of choice was a green switch which I had to cut. I have neglected to mention the huge impact sports my gang ‘The Smokey Valley Boys.’ That’s for another time. Taken all together, my juvenile years were the best of times.

Today one third of the teens are over-weight. Many are dealing with drugs and alcohol problems and feel stressed. T.V. ads urge them to go out-doors to play and exercise. They spend 8-10 hours each day on their cell phone, video games and the computer.’

My grand and great-grand kids have all the toys society offers. Called ‘the entitled generation’ how well will all the materialism serve them as adults? The results will deter-mine the nation’s fate!”

Princeton Elementary School continues its Spring Fling with Funny Hair/Twin Day on Thursday, April 14. The quarterly award assembly will be in the afternoon at 1:15pm. Awards will be pre-sented for honor roll, attendance, and citizenship. Spring vacation is the week of April 18.

Donna Meader-York

While Mother Nature makes up her mind whether spring is here or if it’s still winter, Indian Township School is not wait-ing. We are moving forward toward the end of the school year which, believe it or not, is just around the corner!

On Monday, April 4, we held our yearly Math Night and decided to include Science this time and called it STEAM night (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math). From 3:30 to 5:30, parents, and com-munity members were invited to wander from station to sta-tion for various activities re-

lating to each part of STEAM. For example, the After School Program offered an activity in the Engineering section of STEAM with a timed build-ing challenge. Participants had two minutes to build the highest tower they could build with plastic cups without the tower collapsing. They had to use as many cups as they could. We had quite a few excellent builders! Refresh-ments of fresh fruit and juice were served in the gym. Auro-ra Stevens was the grand prize winner of the raffle held at the end of the event. She won a basket full of family movie night goodies such as movies,

popcorn, etc. Congratulations, Aurora!

Not far down the hall, on the same day, the Book Fair Family Night was taking place. Here, parents and chil-dren could stock up on sum-mer reading material with the Buy One, Get One Free event. Refreshments of Ms. Tonya’s yummy oatmeal cookies were served, and we had a raffle for door prizes as well. The lucky winners of the raffles were: Rosie Ritchie, $100 worth of Scholastic products bundle, and Amanda Crosby, a beauti-ful decorative clock. Congrat-ulations, ladies!

Last week, on Friday, the aroma of freshly made pan-cakes and waffles permeated the building as students got to sample the fruits of their labor of tapping maple trees. The Passamaquoddy Language classroom teachers and help-ers boiled the sap down to ma-ple syrup and put on a pancake feast for the students. It was reported to me that the syrup

tasted “awesome!” Good job, Bi-lingual staff!

Grade 4 has been busy the past couple of weeks. The fourth graders have paired up with Pre-K and kindergarten students as reading buddies. It is a win-win activity for all in-volved. The students in grade 4 get reading practice, and the younger students get stories and a role model to look up to. Grade 4 also recently held an egg drop challenge, where stu-dents were to construct protec-tion for raw eggs with plastic straws so that the eggs would not break when dropped from the top of a step ladder. We are thankful for the warm days granted to us for this challenge so it could be done outside. There was lots of learning and laughter going on in grade 4. It’s obvious Miss Irene knows just how to reach her stu-dents!

That’s all the news for this week. Until next week, take care of yourself and never stop learning!

Cassie Oakes

From the press release of the Downeast Salmon Federation and the AES Friday announce-ments, congratulations are in order for two Alexander El-ementary School Students for the Washington County Annu-al Student Art Contest. Sixth grader Joanna Korasadowicz of Alexander received first place and Kaylee Jo Wallace of Crawford received honor-able mention. Their art will be on display at Union Hall, the East Machias Aquatic Re-search Center and the Wild Salmon Resource Center this year. Both girls will be hon-ored during an awards cere-mony at the 16th annual Smelt Fry this Saturday in Columbia Falls.

It may not feel like spring, but the calendar says it is. The first game of softball season for AES will be on May 3rd. The game and practice sched-

ule will be announced soon. Several students from AES

had the opportunity to attend a student council and leadership conference at WCCC on Fri-day, April 8th. These students plan to lead and assist their peers in the organization of a student council at the school.

This past week, AES stu-dents participated in a fun activity that included learn-ing about dance from around the world. Guests from sev-eral different countries visited AES to teach students about the different styles of dance. A special thanks to Mrs. Bren-

nan, the AES band and chorus teacher, for organizing fun ac-tivities like this.

There will be an early re-lease on Friday, April 15th. Students will be dismissed at 11:15.

The Alexander Relay for Life Team will be holding their annual Yard Sale on April 16th at the school. If you wish to donate items, please don’t hesitate to contact BJ Wallace at 454-7258 or you can drop them off at school. There will also be space for those who may like to have a table for crafts and such.
