AUGUSTA – U.S. Senator An-gus King (I-Maine) last Saturday presented World War II veteran Captain Lester Slate of Exeter with several service medals, in-cluding the Distinguished Fly-ing Cross, for his lifesaving act of heroism during the Second World War. The ceremony took place in Augusta.

“As a citizen of the United States and as a United States Senator, I was honored to be with Captain Slate as he received the recognition he so richly deserves for his service and sacrifi ce on be-half of our nation,” Senator King said. “Indeed, nearly 70 years ago and in the face of great dan-ger, Captain Slate put his own life on the line to rescue a fellow service member stranded help-lessly in enemy waters. For that incredible act of heroism, and for his extraordinary four decades of service, he deserves not only these commendations, but the unending gratitude of our nation as well. It was a privilege to join with his family and friends to present him his medals this morning, and I am grateful for all that he has done for our nation,” Sen. King stated.

Captain Slate served in the U.S. Navy for ten years from 1942 to 1952 and fl ew a total of 43 combat mis-sions during World War II. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross and an Air Medal, among several other commendations, as a result of his heroism during a mission in which he and his crewmates rescued a downed Marine pilot from a life raft fl oating in hostile waters off the coast of Amami, Japan in 1945. Following his tenure in the U.S. Navy, Captain Slate also served in the U.S. Coast Guard for another 30 years from 1952-1982.

Although receiving some commendations years ago, Captain Slate was never awarded the medals com-mensurate with his actions and years of service. After hearing from Captain Slate, Senator King’s offi ce was able to work with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of the Navy to secure the medals. In addition to the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal, Captain Slate was also presented with the World War II Victory Medal, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic Pacifi c Campaign Medal, the Navy Occupation Service Medal, a Discharge Button, and an Honorable Service Lapel Pin.

More than 30 of Captain Slate’s family members and friends attended the ceremony, which took place in Senator King’s offi ce in Augusta. Lieutenant Colonel Peter Ogden, Director of the Bureau of Maine Veter-ans Services, and Brigadier General James D. Campbell, Adjutant General of the Maine National Guard & Commissioner of the Maine Department of Defense, Veterans, and Emergency Management, were also present to honor Captain Slate.

SANGERVILLE - The East Sangerville Grange invites the public to come to its second annual “Cul-tivating Community” event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 12. This year’s focus is on how Maine-raised food gets from the farm to the consumer’s plate, in local markets and beyond.

Called “Mapping the Maine Highland Food System”, the event is being sponsored by the Maine Farm-land Trust. Speakers from Maine Farmland Trust, as well as other organizations from around the state will talk about what food systems are and why they are becoming so important in Maine. A panel of farm-ers from the Maine Highlands will also offer their perspective on the topic.

Anyone who has anything to do with food – especially regional farmers- is encouraged to come. Food systems have many interrelated components, including not just growers, sellers, and consumers,

but also processers, distributors, funders, lenders, food banks, farm stands, farm markets, restaurants, and schools to name a few, says Erin Callaway, chair of the Cultivating Community event committee. “This event is a chance to look at what makes up the food system in our area and how they are connected.”

One of the highlights of the day will be a presentation by the University of Maine Machias GIS (graphic information systems) Lab demonstrating how communities can use data collection systems to create an actual map of their regional food systems. Later in the day, the Maine Farmland Trust presenters will help attendees start to map the Maine Highland food system.

Other presenters include Maine Food Strategy, the Maine Network of Community Food Councils, and a panel of speakers from Skowhegan, Maine who will talk about how the food system there has taken shape. There is also plenty of time built into the schedule for networking with other attendees. Lunch, snacks, and coffee will be provided.

The cost to attend is $10 for those who pre-register before April 10 or $15 for those who do not pre-register. In either case, people are asked to pay their registration fee in cash at the door. To pre-register, e-mail [email protected]. Those who do not have a computer can pre-register by calling 343-0171 any evening after 6 p.m. and leaving a voicemail with their full name. For directions to the East Sangerville Grange or more information visit http://www.grange.org/eastsangervilleme177 or send e-mail to [email protected].

THE WEBELOS 1 DEN from Sangerville’s Pack 61 made a visit to the State House in Augusta last month, by invitation from Senator Paul Davis, as part of the requirement for their citizenship pin to move on to become Webelo 2s next year.

They also viewed where everything happens and some history of the State House.

DOVER-FOXCROFT - The Center Theatre in Dover-Foxcroft has announced The Slightly Off-Center Players One Act Festival. The festival will be held Friday, April 11, and Saturday, April 12, at 7 p.m. Ad-mission is a suggested $5 donation.

“The Slightly Off-Center Players have learned a lot and matured as a group in this past year,” says Executive Director Angela Bonacasa. “The Radio Shows and classes offered over the winter have given people opportunities to explore acting and directing without the time commitment of a full production. Most of the directors for the festival have not directed a major piece before, so this is their fi rst time hav-ing a fully realized production on stage. It’s a thrill for them, of course, as well as their actors.”

The performances will include excerpts from Chekhov’s “The Proposal”, Susan Glaswell’s “Trifl es”, and William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker.” Original pieces will include an adaptation of Chekhov’s “The Boor”, and World Premieres of several scripts, including “Who Cares?” by Mark Stevens and “The Fai-rytale Garden” by Chelle Atwater. The casts include adults and children of all ages.

Tickets will be available at the door. A list of all the pieces scheduled to perform is available on the Center Theatre website at www.centertheatre.org.

FORUM“Both discussions belong in schools.”

To the Editor:I agree with Mr. Myers that we should not have organized prayer in school, either voluntary or manda-

tory. Why? Which prayers are you going to use? Protestant, Jewish, Catholic, Muslim? I am sure that some parents don’t want their children saying prayers from a different religion, and who would decide which bible or religious book, the teacher? However, I do believe we need to allow God, religious discus-sions, and time for prayers back into our school. It is not practical nor realistic for our children not to be able to mention God, religion, or their beliefs in school. We are preparing them for adulthood and in a normal situation people mention God and religion all the time, “God bless you”, “I will pray for you”, etc. And in order to retain Religious Freedom, we must discuss religion.

I believe we should go back to having a few minutes before class where students who quietly want to pray can and the others can plan their day. I also believe the every school day should begin with the Pledge of Allegiance which is not a prayer, and which reminds children how fortunate they are to be in this country. The original Supreme Court’s ruling was almost 52 years ago simply said that there could be no government endorsed prayer in school, and the next year banned bible reading. In other words, the teachers and offi cials could not tell the students what and when to pray, and it all went on from there. I believe we should get back to just the original rulings.

However, Mr. Myers is very wrong about Religion and Science. Science and Religion compliment each other. The Bible is history and science is constantly trying prove that the Bible is correct or incorrect. Evolution and Creation are both theories, neither has been proven. Both discussions belong in schools.

“…facts not assumptions.”To the Editor:I agree with all the points made by Denize Gauler in the response to Michael Watson in Letters to the

Editor dated March 14 in the Eastern Gazette. All except Wind and not being a good idea for Maine.I will be making facts not assumptions.There is a recent article in another newspaper explaining how Emera also Bangor hydro and a company

named Northeast Energy Link, based out of New Brunswick wants to build power lines through Maine. These lines will feed power from Canada and from renewable energy sources throughout Maine through underground lines running along interstates. I will let the reader do the research and decide which inter-states these power and gas lines will run.

Notice that all the talk is directed towards power being delivered to the Southern New England states. Here lies one of the problems associated with wind power. Maine is not receiving any power from renew-able energy. The transmission lines are being constructed with a pittance being offered to the towns where the lines are running through. Now consider this in 2012 Central Maine Power raised their resi-dential utility rates 19.6% and Bangor Hydro raised their rates by 12%. “The intended purpose is to im-prove transmission to Southern New England States”.

So, all the towns receiving their $20,000 dollars a year for 20 years are subsidizing their own so called Tax Benefi ts. Do your math and see how much the increase in a towns population’s power bill is for a year. Mine is close to $20,000 dollars a year!

It would be nice to see our power bills drop due to wind power, but the Southern New England states are mandated to have renewable energy as a large percentage of their power.

One fi nal note. Wind For ME has been touting through various types of media that “a large percentage of Mainers support wind power.” What they fail to state is that the survey was taken from ONLY 700 registered Maine voters. I contacted Wind For ME through their only listed method, email, three times requesting a call and the concern for the small sample taken for their survey. No return phone call or email and the Wind For ME site has been modifi ed by deleting statement on the size of their survey.

Just remember this fact. Whenever a government program is initiated it is being directly funded by you the Maine Tax Payer! Please browse around anything concerning energy in Maine and learn how much you are funding the system.

So, there are some of the facts, Denize Gauler, as to why Wind Power has thus far not been good idea for Maine.

Christian D. McGinn, Parkman

“... that is how to accomplish things in Augusta.”To the Editor:It is said that on Ronald Reagan’s desk in the Oval Offi ce there was small plaque with these words

inscribed, “ There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doe not mind who gets the credit.” I have tried to serve the people of Maine with this message at heart. Recently, I was able to put that principle into action.

Milfoil is a water plant that grows aggressively and will spread until it chokes out a body of water, rendering it useless. Thirteen years ago, there was no milfoil in Maine, but New Hampshire’s waters were infected with it. To combat this threat, the State launched an educational program, put up warning signs at boat landings, and hired two game wardens to enforce milfoil laws. A $10 milfoil sticker was enacted for boat registration to fund this program. The funds from this sticker were allotted in two parts: 60% to DEP for education and warning signs, with the remaining 40% to the IF&W to fund the wardens.

Now, thirteen years later, Milfoil has invaded 29 of our lakes and streams in Maine and spreading rap-idly. It has spread to the Belgrade Lakes. The Belgrade Lakes region is a mere 60 miles from Wassookeag Lake in Dexter.

Think of the devastation to Central Maine if milfoil should gain a foothold in Wassookeag, then spread to Sebec. It would spread north to Moosehead and Schoodic. The thought of this happening is very unac-ceptable to me.

Representative Mike McClellan (R) of Standish proposed a bill-LD1626, which would have increased boat registrations by $7 for residents and $35 for non-residents. Knowing the Governor’s strong stance against any tax increases on the people of Maine, I arranged for the committee to meet with the Governor.

While the Governor agreed that milfoil is a huge problem, he would not accept a fee increase. He prom-ised to veto the bill. There had to be a better solution to this dire problem than gridlock.

There is a constitutional amendment that mandates all funds from the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife must be used for the IF&W. As a consequence, the IF&W often times has “carry over” monies into the next fi scal year. It was proposed that we change the existing milfoil allotment from 60/40 to 80/20, with the stipulation that the monies be used solely for milfoil eradication by the DEP.

The money is to be used to help private groups eradicate milfoil from lakes and streams. The committee was also made aware of the tireless work private landowner groups have been doing to combat this issue on their own, hiring divers and equipment to pull the vegetation from lake beds.

This negotiation met with the Governor’s approval. To strengthen the chances of passage, I asked the Democrat chair of our committee to sponsor the bill. As a result, the bill passed unanimously and is on its way to the Governor’s desk for his signature. This bill will not solve the milfoil problem but it will greatly help.

My friends in Central Maine: that is how to accomplish things in Augusta. There is no limit to where we can go if we don’t care who gets the credit.

I am pleased we were able to get this done without adding another fee increase for Maine already over-taxed people to have to pay.

MAINE - The Maine Chapter of Parents Of Murdered Children will be hosting its National Crime Vic-tims’ Rights Week luncheon on Sunday, April 6 at the Calumet Club on West River Road in Augusta. This year they will celebrate landmark legislation enacted 30 years ago: the 1984 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) which affi rmed the nation’s commitment to restoring the balance of justice by securing legal rights, pro-tections, and services for victims of crime.

According to Arthur Jette, leader of the Maine Chapter, National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children (Maine POMC), “It’s necessary to remind ourselves that our system is one of criminal justice. Victims of crime need a victim justice system that has guaranteed rights”

Since its incorporation in 1989, the Maine POMC has provided emotional support, education and ser-vice to family and friend survivors of homicide victims. The Chapter members will unveil the Maine Murder Victims’ Memorial Monument, in the early summer of 2014, and there is still time for family survivors of murder victims to authorize the inscription of names of Maine related murder victims, into the monument.

The luncheon will begin at noon and a speakers’ program will follow. Confi rmed speakers include Mayor of Augusta and Deputy Attorney General, William Stokes, Assistant Attorney General Lara Nomani, De-tective Jason Richards, and Detective Michael Chavez on the topic of “Solving the unsolved homicides”. There is no cost, and everyone is invited to attend, so feel free to bring relatives or friends. Survivors of victims are encouraged to bring a framed photo of their loved one who was taken by violence, for place-ment on the memorial table.

In order to better plan for the luncheon RSVP is requested to Diane Gagnon, 623-8642, by phone or e-mail [email protected], if you are planning to attend.

The award, sponsored by the Maine Principal’s Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citi-zenship.

Ms. Roderka, Mr. Bell and other award winners and their principals will attend an Honors Luncheon at the Spectacular Event Center in Bangor on Saturday, April 5 at 12:30 p.m.

Roderka receives MPA Principal’s Award.

PITTSFIELD – “One of the nicest parts of being an inpatient at Sebasticook Valley Health (SVH) is the musical entertainment that patients, visitors, and employees enjoy every week,” explained a SVH spokesperson recently. “High school student Lindsay Mower, from St. Albans, has become a very popular addition to the weekly happenings that activities coordinator Kendra Hartsgrove introduced to the new inpatient wing last fall,” she observed.

A senior at Nokomis Regional High School, Lindsay performs every week at SVH as part of her volunteer project at school. With guitar in hand, Lindsay goes from room to room to sing two or three songs to patients who are up for music, as well as to their visitors. One visitor commented after Lindsay’s performance, “You should go on American Idol – you’re that good!” and another patient eagerly exclaimed when Lindsay entered her room, “Turn off the TV! I don’t want to miss any of this!”

Lindsay’s musical selections are gentle and soothing, perfect for an acoustic guitar and Lindsay’s clear soprano voice. When asked how she selects music for patients, Lindsay replied that she “gets ideas for music from the radio” and what she hears in the jazz band and chorus that she participates in at school. “I choose songs that are good for patients of all ages that I can adapt to acoustic guitar.”

Although Lindsay has a music stand to hold sheet music, often only pages containing song lyrics are all Lindsay refers to during her SVH performances. Lindsay can play music ‘by ear’, something she has been doing since she was a little girl. As Lindsay got older and more interested in music, she formally learned to play piano, saxophone, fl ute, and guitar.

When asked what her future plans are after graduation this June, Lindsay answered that she “would like to do something with musi-cal therapy,” since music is effective in calming patients and helping them feel better. Lindsay plans to attend the University of Maine at Farmington in the fall, where she will study community health educa-tion.

“A patient told me once that Lindsay is ‘good medicine’,” Kendra remarked. “And I think that is true for many patients here, since mu-sic helps them in so many ways.” Kendra added that she is often im-pressed at how comfortable Lindsay is at entering patient rooms and performing to one or more people she often does not know.

“She is very self-motivated and courageous,” Kendra said. “It takes a lot of guts to do this.” Kendra noted that musicians from Maine Cen-tral Institute (MCI) in Pittsfi eld also visit the hospital to play fl ute, and inpatients have enjoyed music from various community groups during the holidays.

GREENVILLE - Maine’s fi rst and only mobile training program normally is on the road delivering hands-on emergency medical education to healthcare providers. The Human Patient Simulator (HPS) brings training to hospital providers and local emergency medical service crews who might not otherwise have access to frequent professional development.

This year LifeFlight of Maine will be providing staff and equipment free of charge for the Greenville school system’s annual career day on Friday April 18th. This hands-on training will provide students and any interested community members, with a glimpse of what it’s like to work in the emergency healthcare fi eld. Greenville Schools Jobs for Maine Graduate students have been organizing a school wide career day for the past several years in an effort to help expose students and community members to a wide variety of career opportunities. This year in conjunction with Charles A Dean Memorial Hospital’s Emergency department and Maine EMS Human Patient Simulator program, students will be offered a unique oppor-

tunity to learn about their bodies and the many roles of healthcare. The program is built around a state-of-the-art, high-fi delity manikin trainer, most commonly used in medical schools.

The simulator is able to replicate a wide variety of very realistic patient illnesses and injuries. The simulator is so sophisticated and versatile that it blinks, speaks, breathes and even has a heartbeat and pulse. It also accurately mirrors human response to CPR, intra-venous medications, intubation, ventilation and catheterization. The staff at C.A. Dean ED, with assistance from instructors from Life-Flight of Maine, have created life-like, age-specifi c scenarios for the Greenville students in grades K -12 that will allow them the oppor-tunity to learn new skills while experiencing the thrill of being an emergency healthcare provider.

The hope is that by providing students with this hands-on inter-active opportunity they may discover an interest and subsequently pursue a career in the healthcare fi eld, and eventually become our healthcare leaders of the future.

DOVER-FOXCROFT - The Piscataquis Regional YMCA recently completed their annual New Year’s Eve Weight Loss Challenge. Teams competed against each other and against themselves to see who could win weekly prizes and an overall prize for the largest per-centage weight-loss. The winning team consisted of team captain Angela Clark, Lou Clark, Stan Belum, Brian Tewhey, and Sabrina Sharrow. Overall, the 15 teams in the challenge lost over 600 pounds during the 12 weeks of the challenge.

Ryan Nickerson, personal trainer at the Y and one of the organizers of the challenge, was very pleased with the results. “We had excel-lent participation and commitment from the teams in the challenge. They kept with it and made some great progress. Hopefully, they’ve started some healthy habits that will continue long after the chal-lenge is over.”

SEBEC STUDENT VISITS STATE CAPITOL WITH SENATOR DOUG THOMAS - Alex Shaffer of Sebec shadowed State Senator Doug Thomas of Ripley at the State House on February 20. Joining Alex for the day were his parents Charles and Stacy Shaffer. The Shaffers attended both a Republican Senate caucus and a morning Senate session with Senator Thomas. Senator Thomas also gave the family a tour of the Capitol before they returned home.

Don’t Let This Happen on Your Honeymoon

Weekly Rates Available

(StatePoint) A great registry is the fi rst step to planning your happily ever after. As you make your way to the “I Do’s,” it’s also a time to plan for your new lives together. From hosting your fi rst holiday dinner to lazy Sundays on the couch, making your house a home starts with building a great registry.

“It is your registry, so build it any way you want to. Choose items that are right for you and your soon-to-be. Go through the registry process together and enjoy it,” recommends Audrey Stavish, wedding and gift regis-try expert at Bed Bath & Beyond. “Whether starting from scratch or blending households together, remember to relax, take your time and have fun.”

Here are some additional tips to get you started:

• Visit a Store: Before you take the trip down the aisle, take a trip down the aisle of the store where you are registered. Missed something the fi rst time around? No problem. Many stores make the process convenient, allowing you to update the registry at any point, both in-store and online. Be sure to get up close and per-sonal with the items that go on your registry. Touch the towels, hold the cookware -- in fact, most brides make multiple visits to a store and the website.

• Keep it Convenient: Where you register is important. Ask friends, family and co-workers about their registry experiences. Start a wedding registry as soon as you say “yes.” That way, guests have options for engagement gifts and showers. With more than 1,000 locations nationwide and an easy-to-use website, a store like Bed Bath & Beyond is convenient for you and your

guests, before and after your wedding.

• Ask the Experts: It’s easy to get overwhelmed when register-ing. Need help deciding between ceramic or stainless steel cook-ware? Don’t forget to ask the registry expert! From the time a couple starts the registry pro-cess, until they’ve walked down the aisle, dedicated registry con-sultants can help you be better informed about your choices and make the process fun and stress-free.

• Dream Big, Register Big-ger: Register for at least twice as many gifts as the number of guests at the wedding. Friends and family will rely on the reg-istry for special events leading up to the wedding, including en-gagement parties, showers and holidays.

Guests will appreciate choices in a wide range of price points and categories. Also, don’t shy away from high priced items like a set of All-Clad cookware -- these make great group gifts, as does formal tableware, like fi ne china by Lenox, crystal by Water-ford and fl atware.

More great registry-building tips can be found at www.Bed-BathAndBeyond.com.

Happy registering and let the memories of a lifetime begin!

(BPT) - Engagement season is offi cially here, with couples around the country saying “yes” to proposals and starting to plan their weddings. In fact, 39 per-cent of marriage proposals hap-pen between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, according to Wed-dingChannel.com. While immedi-ate discussions with your partner might be focused on the ceremony venue or honeymoon location, there’s another important consid-eration before saying “I do:” hav-ing the “fi nance talk.”

Joining your lives through mar-riage also means joining your lives fi nancially. Having a solid under-standing about money, which in-cludes insurance, will help ensure a marriage remains strong long after the honeymoon is over.

However, the reality is that many couples are skipping im-portant conversations. While 71 percent of newly married couples acknowledge the importance of sharing benefi ciary designations before marrying, almost half nev-er got around to addressing their life insurance needs prior to the wedding, according to a survey by the National Association of Insur-ance Commissioners (NAIC). And it’s not just young couples who are skipping the conversation - new-lywed couples age 55 and older are more likely to have discussed their household entertainment budget than their life insurance coverage.

Talking about combining fi nanc-es and future insurance needs can be diffi cult, but it doesn’t have to be. Avoid misunderstandings and help ensure your marriage remains strong by having a talk about these matters as soon as possible.

Well before the big day, couples should schedule a pre-wedding discussion to directly address auto, home, health and life in-surance needs. Here are some questions to get the conversation started:

Home * Do we plan on renovating our

current home? * If we both own homes, should

we rent or sell the other home once we move in together?

Keep in mind, a renovation in-vestment of $5,000 or more could change your home’s replacement value and insurance needs. Addi-tionally, switching a property from being a homestead to a rental will require you to carry different in-surance.

Health * Which health plan should we

keep? * Should we each be on the

same plan, or maintain individual plans?

* What is the best approach for insuring our children, or stepchil-dren?

Having health insurance isn’t only important for each person in a marriage, but starting in 2014, it is subject to considerable changes in law. When analyzing plans, re-member the lowest premium isn’t the only consideration. Review all plan elements, including deduct-ibles and co-pays. Most couples have the opportunity to combine plans, but only after they are le-gally married and not before.

Auto * How’s your driving history? * Do you have any accidents or

violations? Getting married may have a

positive effect when you combine your auto insurance plan, but a lower rate is dependent on both you and your spouse’s driving re-cords. If you married a speed de-mon, it might not make sense to combine policies even after you say “I do.” Have the talk and do your research.

Life * Do you currently have life in-

surance? * How much life insurance is

enough?Now that “I” means “we,” cou-

ples should evaluate life insurance based on future income potential, the cost of raising children and outstanding mortgage payments. Remember, in many states, your new spouse does not automatical-ly become your benefi ciary on ex-isting insurance policies. Once you tie the knot, you must proactively contact your HR department or other health and life insurance providers to change benefi ciaries.

If you’re looking for a fun, light-hearted way to approach the some-times sensitive subjects of money and insurance, sit down with your signifi cant other and review the “Insurance Survival Guide for Newlyweds” available on the NA-IC’s website, www.insureuonline.org. On the site, you also can play NAIC’s new “I Do Adventures” in-teractive game, which allows play-ers to drive and earn points while learning valuable insurance facts and lessons. If you have additional insurance questions or concerns, contact your state insurance com-missioner for unbiased informa-tion.

Research shows disconnect between what couples say and do when it comes

to insurance conversations before marriage

SKOWHEGAN - Skowhegan Savings Bank held its 144th An-nual Meeting on March 19, 2014 at the Margaret Chase Smith Library in Skowhegan with 82 people in attendance. The Bank holds a yearly meeting to elect members of the Board of Direc-tors, new Corporators, and to report on the fi nancial perfor-mance of the institution.

John Witherspoon, President

and CEO of the Bank, reported that the Bank had a strong year in 2013, highlighted by its ex-pansion into Augusta and Frank-lin County. The Bank made over $85 million in loans throughout Central and Western Maine and grew total assets to nearly $500 million.

Witherspoon also reported that the capital levels of the Bank continued to grow to close

to $70 million, which far exceeds the level required by federal regulators. In his report to the Corporators of the Bank, Wither-spoon noted that for the fi fth con-secutive year, Skowhegan Sav-ings was named one of the Best Places to Work in Maine, a refl ec-tion of the Bank’s extraordinary dedication to its workforce.

Fred Haberberger, the Bank’s Chief Operating Offi cer & SVP,

gave a presentation on a variety of technologies available to Bank customers, several of which had been implemented at Skow-hegan Savings. “We continue to make strategic investments in technology to complement our personalized, straight talk, fair deal approach to banking,” With-erspoon said.

New Corporators elected at the meeting were: Paul Fortin

of Madison, Robert Luce of Car-rabasset Valley, Lawrence Koob of Oquossoc, Rhonda Wiles of Farmington, Nancy Bessey of Rangeley, and Kimberley Jordon of Kingfi eld. In addition, James Austin and Warren Shay were re-elected to serve on the Board of Directors along with Roger Gifford, Howard Sevey, Richard Anzelc Jr., Claire Theriault-Per-kins, and John Witherspoon.

Skowhegan Savings 144th Annual Meeting report

DEXTER – “A windy frigid night didn’t deter loyal Wayside Grang-ers from trekking to the Abbott Memorial Library for a meeting to formulate plans the upcoming season for concerts and grange suppers beginning in April,” said a Grange spokesperson early this week.

There will be seven concerts beginning on April 26 featuring Ken and Jane Brooks along with Joe and Nellie Kennedy. A Talent Show is tentatively scheduled for August 2. The full schedule will be printed and distributed in a few weeks.

Discussion centered around having outside groups putting on plays at Wayside Theatre, Corinna and East Madison theatre groups are interested in presenting their plays at the theatre. Another idea dis-cussed was a “Mystery Dinner Theatre.”

The Supper Committee has scheduled 7 grange suppers beginning in May on the second Saturday of each month. Meals this year are to be $7, Menus are now being planned. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and takeout will be available after 6 p.m. There is a possible Hunters Sup-per being discussed for the last week in October.

Building repairs were discussed at length: repairs to the fl oor in the dining hall, moving the serving counters, electrical work, window repairs, and some exterior painting. Plans are for a work day in April at the grange.

The next meeting will be April 10 at 6 p.m. at the Abbott Memorial Library in Dexter. Dues will be collected at this time.

Wayside Grange/Theatre prepares for upcoming season

DOVER-FOXCROFT - Eastern Area Agency on Aging is offering an informational session, Understanding Memory Loss, for caregiv-ers and people experiencing early dementia, April 24, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Dover-Foxcroft Congregational Church, 824 West Main St, Dover-Foxcroft.

This introductory training session will give caregivers and people who are experiencing early memory loss the basics of what they can expect from “Savvy Caregiver training” which is a 12 hour/six week course that focuses on building three tiers of information: knowledge, attitude and skills.

Knowledge: Caregivers learn exactly what dementia is and is not, how it affects their loved one’s personality and behavior and how to manage a disease that will not “get better” due to its progressive na-ture. Information is provided on tailoring caregiving strategies based on the person’s stage of the disease.

Attitude: Caregivers will develop a sense of confi dence in their caregiving abilities and will learn how to care for themselves as well. Often caregivers put themselves last on the list which, while under-standable, is unwise and can lead to caregiver burnout.

Skills: During the class, caregivers learn the best ways of inter-acting and communicating with their loved one, how to best handle challenging behaviors and how to keep the person engaged in daily tasks - keeping in mind the person’s current skill level with regard to the progression of the disease.

For more information or to register for the Understanding Memory Loss presentation contact Karyn Grass at Eastern Area Agency on Aging: 1-800-432-7812.

DOVER-FOXCROFT - The annual Community Project Linus Blan-ket Day will be held on April 26 at The Penquis Higher Education Center on Mayo St. in Dover-Foxcroft from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Dover-Foxcroft Congregational Church Women’s Fellowship group will be serving coffee, snacks and lunch by donation. They ask that anyone who plans to sew should bring their own machine. There is plenty to do for those that do not sew with a sewing machine.

For more information contact Judy, Piscataquis Coordinator: 564-2246 or [email protected] or Merlene, Penobscot Coordinator: 561-9225 or [email protected]

“The mission of Project Linus is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade, washable blankets and afghans, lovingly crafted by volunteer blanketeers,” said a Project Linus spokesperson.

Anyone who can learn to tie a square knot is invited to join in any-time. “Community involvement is vital to the success of this event, and it is hoped that as many people as possible will come and help make these blankets.” Their goal is to make 100 quilts to distribute in Piscataquis and Penobscot counties. There will be lots of fabric, orphan quilt blocks, quilt tops that need to be put together.
