By Jayna Smith

Dead River Company sup-ports many causes across the state, including here in the local community. One organization it has recently shown support of is Greenland Point Center in Princeton.

Last week, representatives from Dead River in Calais do-nated $500 to Greenland Point Center. This money will help ensure more kids are able to attend one of the many camps offered this summer.

"Dead River is proud to extend its support to Greenland Point Center," Operations Manager Troy Cilley said. "It provides a wonderful opportunity for kids to put down their electronic devices and experience the great outdoors that Maine has to offer."

Each summer, Greenland Point Center gives over 600 kids, ages 6 to 17, the opportunity to enhance self-esteem, build lead-ership skills and ethics, as well as learn traditional Maine values like hunting and fishing, through the various day and residential camps. Without support from individuals, businesses, and

organizations, the camp would be unable to continue.

Cilley also expressed the im-portance of the camp and what it offers children. "For some kids, this is the only opportunity they have to learn these types of outdoor activities and learn the necessary skills to participate safely."

"We at Dead River are very proud of our community and always want to support outstand-ing programs such as the ones offered by Greenland Point. We encourage others to join us in helping this very worthwhile cause that will leave the children who attend with memories and skills that will last a lifetime,"

Cilley stated.Others who wish to donate

may mail them to Greenland Point Center, PO Box 333, Princ-eton, ME 04668. Information regarding sponsoring a child to attend camp, or general infor-mation about camps, can be ob-tained from Executive Director Jon Speed at (207) 796-2341.

Outdoor Summer Programs to be Featured at May Food for ThoughtBy Lura Jackson

Why do we live in Maine? While the answers may be numerous, one of the most compelling features of the state is certainly the sum-mer season. Anyone who has spent enough time here has a favorite memory or several of the outdoors, enjoying the ideal climate or the verdant enthusiasm of the natural wil-derness that surrounds us. The third Food for Thought event aims to enable families to take full advantage of the season, highlighting area programs for youth and adults offered at no cost.

The speaker for the entirely free event—which always in-cludes a homemade, healthy meal, activities, and give-aways—is Colin Brown of Downeast Lakes Land Trust, which supports the many lakes in the region, includ-ing the Grand Lake Stream System. As the Education and Outreach Manager for DLLT, Brown will be speak-ing to parents about the events hosted by the organization. DLLT offers youth-oriented programs such as Explora-tions and Adventures, aimed at ages 6-11, and Serious Skills for Boys and Girls, for ages 11-16, throughout the

summer. Occasional guided community forest walks are also regularly planned, and internships are available for teenagers.

Also speaking at the event will be Calais Recreation Director Craig Morrison. Morrison coordinates an array of activities centered around the Thomas Dicenzo Athletic Complex. A summer camp program is available for area youth and athletic games are held throughout the season. The soon-to-be renovated Howard Fox Memorial Pool will pull in children and fami-lies from the extended com-munity with its brand-new

filtration system and restored edging, with swimming les-sons offered to youths of all ages.

While parents are listening to the presentation, children will be introduced to hands-on gardening with a provided starter garden kit that each may take home. They will also be guided through the process of designing animal tracings for their summer bags. All families that attend the event will receive a complimentary basketball or soccer ball (one per family).

Food for Thought is a vol-unteer organization that began in January of 2016. Since its inception, nearly a hun-dred volunteers from around the community have come forward to contribute their time and energy to ensure its success. The award of sig-nificant grants has enabled the group to offer its events at no cost to families with

children ages 0-12. “Calais Food for Thought is dedi-cated to empowering parents to improve the quality of life for themselves and their children,” coordinator Helen Messemer-Thomas said of the program.

This event, which will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd, at 5:15 in the assembly room of Washington County Com-munity College, is sponsored by the Irene Chadbourne Ecu-menical Food Pantry, Calais Press, Catholic Charities for Human Development and Cal-ais Headstart. Future events, including presentations on Nutrition, the Great Outdoors, and Family Dynamics, will resume in September.

Registration is required as space is limited. For further information, or to register, please email [email protected], and include the number of adults, number of children and chil-

NC Man Sentenced for Theft, Embezzlement from Passamaquoddy Tribe

United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Stephen E. Crawford, 68, of Beaufort, North Carolina, was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court by Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. to one year of probation for stealing and embezzling funds from the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleas-ant Point. The defendant paid $26,373.72 in restitution in advance of the sentencing.

Court records show that between February 2003 and Febru-ary 2012, the defendant served as the tribe's environmental director. Between 2006 and 2012, the defendant fraudulently obtained and stole over $25,000 from the tribe by submitting fraudulent travel expense reports and supporting documenta-tion.

In imposing the probationary sentence, Judge Woodcock noted that the defendant was now a federal felon, had lost his job and career and reputation, and would be barred from working on federal contracts for a period of time. Judge Woodcock said that the fact that the defendant had paid full restitution before sentencing also played a significant role in his determination of the appropriate sentence.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Inspector General.

Greenland Point Center Seeks Donations for Kids to Experience the Great Outdoors

By Jayna Smith

Greenland Point Center (GPC), located in Princeton, is situated on a 64-acre peninsula extending into Long Lake. It is saturated with forest rich with wildlife. Much more than beautiful scenery, GPC aims to promote healthy lifestyles and environmental stewardship by providing all children and adults with a natural setting and programs that teach out-door skills, leadership, ethics, and alternatives to substance abuse.

With over 600 Maine kids go-ing through its outdoor schools

and residential camps each year, Greenland Point Center is now seeking donations to keep the programs running, thus allowing kids the oppor-tunity to put down their video games and other electronics in exchange for an experience of a lifetime in the great outdoors. Executive Director Jon Speed said, "We've sent out a lot of solicitation letters to different organizations." He stressed that no amount is too small. "You don't have to give a mil-lion dollars. People can give any amount they can."

Since 2005, nearly 7,000 kids have enjoyed the offer-

ings at Greenland Point Center. Speed said anyone is invited to stop in and see the facilities for themselves. He also spoke of the gains the children clearly make from attending any one of the camps.

"If anyone would just like to come up to Greenland Point--and they're welcome to any-time--and see what a difference just a week makes with kids, when 'the light comes on', when the kids have learned some-thing, that they can survive in the wilderness, or they've learned to swim, or that they can tip over a canoe and come up laughing..." Speed said.

GPC employs a staff of 20 in the summer months. As well, it supports local businesses, and Speed noted the importance of it giving back locally, explain-ing that the food used in the cafeteria is purchased from lo-cal stores, as are supplies.

There are various camps of-fered at GPC for kids ranging in age 6 up to age 17. "I can't stress enough the importance of having a place where kids can come outdoors and learn 'outdoorsy' stuff," Speed said, all while gaining self-esteem, leadership qualities, and build-ing friendships, all among other things.

To make this happen, Green-land Point Center is reaching out to those in the community--both to individuals and to businesses or organizations--to contribute, allowing the great tradition of kids experiencing summer camp to continue.

Those wishing to make a donation of any amount can mail it to GPC, PO Box 333, Princeton, ME 04668. All contributions are tax deduct-ible. Additional information can be obtained from Jon Seed at (207) 796-2341.

Community Thrift Store to Reopen Under New Management

Father’s Day basket.Mother’s Day basket.

By Lura Jackson

The popular Community Thrift Store will be reopening on Saturday, April 30th with a grand event offering free door prizes to the first 24 customers and drawings for 10 gift bas-kets. Each of the gift baskets will have themes, ranging from Mother’s Day to Romance to Arts and Crafts and Mystery Writers. The event will be held from 9-3, which are the store’s newly extended hours. Special sales and refreshments will be available for all customers.

The store is now under the skillful management of Hel-en Messemer-Thomas, who also coordinates the Food for Thought events while continu-ing to explore her artistic pas-sion in appreciation of the local flora and fauna. “Helen brings

vast experience and a refresh-ing energy to the position,” Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry organizer Len Hanson stated.

“The Thrift Store is a great

resource for the communi-ty, providing small furniture, clothing for men, women and children as well as household goods, shoes and small appli-ances,” Messemer-Thomas

expressed. All goods are avail-able at reasonable prices with gently-used children’s apparel for $1 each.

In addition to its ongoing selection of fully browsable assortment, Messemer-Thomas will be organizing free-of-charge arts and crafts events from the thrift store throughout the summer.

The Community Thrift Store is located between Crumbs and the movie theater on Main Street. All proceeds go to the Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry and its programs. If you have questions or would like to make a donation, please contact Helen at 454-2558.

Everyone is a CriticEditorial

One of the best things about a small community is that we all watch out for each other. We recognize our neighbors and their routines, we also may not know everyone's name that we see in a day, but we know where they work, or what car they drive. It's what connects us as a community, and the stronger we feel connected, the better our community is.

One of the worst things about a small community is that we all watch each other. We as-sume that we know our neigh-bors and their routines and we also believe that we know where they work and how their day is run.

Unfortunately, this also cre-ates opinions and gossip that really has no worth when con-sidering a budget or how a community operates.

We live in an area of idea makers. Everyone has a laun-dry list of what should be done

and plenty of criticism about how things aren't being cared for or managed. From financial to street sweeping, armchair critics seem to have plenty of reasons to find fault and know exactly how things could be better.

The problem isn't that people criticize. It's that each time there is a public meeting at the city hall or high school, there are none of these idea makers pres-ent. When the times comes for public input, you can hear a pin drop. So, the next time some-one has something negative to say about the way the town, the police department, the school, the rec center runs things, the time and place for constructive criticism is right then. Speaking up is your RIGHT as a member of this community. If you have a burning anger about the way someone sweeps your street, you will actually be asked to share your opinion! As much as

the pot stirrers like to say that no one wants to hear it, I can assure you, they DO. There isn't much that can be accomplished by being snarky. If the idea makers want to actually make a

change, then get involved. As always, my email is al-

ways available for comments. [email protected]

To The Editor:The Advertiser featured St.

Anne’s Episcopal Church in two articles recently. We ap-preciate the newspaper’s cov-erage of the adult coloring group, which meets on Friday mornings, as well as the article highlighting my call to be the new rector. I am troubled that a part of the article conveys the impression that I am critical of the Roman Catholic Church. I do not fault the reporter – there were many interruptions dur-ing our interview and we did not enjoy the opportunity to talk in-depth. I also failed to follow up on one part of the conversation and I believe, in

retrospect, that’s what led to the confusion.

To clarify: I am not critical of the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, I received my Masters Degree from a Roman Catholic School of Theology. Many of my closest friends work within the Church and several friends and family members – includ-ing my mother-in-law -- are lifelong Catholics. I appreciate Catholic spirituality, the gift of monasticism, and the unwaver-ing commitment of so many faithful Catholics concerning social justice issues. Prior to moving to Calais, I was in-volved with several ecumenical and interfaith organizations for

years and have worked side-by-side with Catholics about many such issues. It is my hope to continue that work and to cre-ate new relationships here with folks of all denominations.

Pastors are called to be heal-ers. Because of my own experi-ence with leaving a Protestant Christian Church as a teenager (and then returning as an adult), part of my ministry now in-volves reaching out to those who, as did I, left the Christi-anity faith. The reality is that many people have been wound-ed by comments said and/or actions done within Christian churches of all denominations, the Episcopal Church included.

It is always my hope and prayer that I offer a safe place for them to discuss those wounds and perhaps discover healing and reconciliation.

I am deeply sorry for any confusion or hurt the article may have caused members of the Catholic faith. I apologize to those who found the article offensive in any way. I am available to discuss any ques-tions or comments. Please feel free to call me at the church: 454-8016.

Sincerely,The Rev. Sara Gavit

Pool Fund Donation

Another substantial amount has been donated to the Howard Fox Memorial Pool fund. Pratt Chevrolet GMC Buick recently collected donations toward the pool's renovation project and matched the total brought in. Thanks to the community and the dealership's match, owner Ian Pratt was able to present Calais Recreation Di-rection Craig Morrison with over $15,000 for the project. (Photo by Jayna Smith)

Hair Donation to Wigs for Kids

UMM and WCCC Collaborate

Interim President of UMM Stuart Swain on left, WCCC President Joseph Cassidy on right. (Submitted photo).

In a historic mo-ment at a historic site, the Presidents of the University of Maine at Machi-as and Washington County Communi-ty College signed a col labora t ive ag reement th i s week at the 45th Parallel monument in Perry.

The agreement p rov ides fo r a seamless transition of credits, courses, faculty and staff; automatic enroll-ment at UMM for qualified WCCC students; and mu-tual academic sup-port.

“This agreement promotes oppor-tunities for students across the county,” UMM Interim President Stuart Swain said. “We're excited about the plans to offer WCCC courses and programs at the Machias campus, and vice versa. These arrangements, in addition to the articulations in business, recreation, and education, provide for seamless access to the excellent programs at our two institutions.”

Joseph Cassidy, WCCC President, said each institu-tion will endeavor to support the delivery of courses and programs on the other’s cam-pus, and across Washington County, that would other-wise be unavailable. This support may take multiple forms, including physical resources, student support and curriculum coordination. WCCC also hopes to offer the third and fourth years of more popular degrees to enable students to complete their bachelor’s degree from UMM without leaving the Calais area.

According to the Memo-randum of Understanding

signed this week, UMM will maintain active transfer ar-ticulations for WCCC gradu-ates in Adventure Recreation, Business, Education, Hu-man Services, and Liberal Studies, as well as a reverse transfer agreement in keeping with the policy of the Maine Community College System and the University of Maine System. Both institutions will identify other program areas for which to develop transfer articulations.

In addition, faculty and administration from both institutions will consult at least annually on program and course developments, the WCCC Student Affairs Office and the UMM Admissions Office will collaborate on the distribution of information and strategies for contacting students about transfer oppor-tunities. Any WCCC graduate with an overall GPA of 2.50 or higher will be guaranteed admission to UMM, with a waiver of the application fee, and upon request, any WCCC student intending to transfer to UMM upon graduation

will be assigned a UMM staff or faculty advisor. The UMM advisor will jointly advise the student, together with their WCCC advisor, throughout their program at WCCC.

Cassidy and Swain said the program is groundbreaking, and will include the delivery of courses via point-to-point video conferencing or on-site on the other’s campus that would otherwise not be avail-able, extension of library, computer lab, and parking privileges, access to student tutoring for general academic support, such as writing and mathematics assistance.

For more information, con-tact the UMM Admissions Office, 255.1318 or go to machias.edu. or WCCC’s Ad-missions Office, 454.1000 or go to www.wccc.me.edu.

Allan Sutherland to Retire After 35 Years at WCCCThe transformation from

student to teacher is one of the most profound and signifi-cant milestones an individual can undergo in the course of their development. Washington County Community College provides an ideal environment for that transition to occur, a fact that Allan Sutherland knows well.

Education was not Suther-land’s first priority. Having been raised in Eastport, he dropped out of Shead High School in his junior year to join the Marines. He was no slouch academically, however: He completed his GED while in Japan before his classmates got their diplomas from Shead.

A few years after returning from his service in the Marine Corps, Sutherland saw a no-tice in the paper advertising WCCC’s (then WCVTI) first plumbing and heating class. Since Sutherland’s father was a plumber, Sutherland was

familiar with the trade, and he made the decision to enroll. He completed his degree in two years, graduating in 1976.

Two years later, Sutherland was asked to become a substi-tute teacher, and in 1981, he became the full-time plumbing and heating instructor. “Being a student at WCCC definitely motivated me to want to in-struct there,” Sutherland said.

While becoming a teacher represents a graduation in itself from being a student, Suther-land exemplifies the fact that an individual is never done learning. During his time as a teacher at WCCC, he contin-ued his education, earning his bachelor’s degree through the University of Maine.

Now, after 35 years, Suther-land estimates he has instructed more than 500 students in the trade of plumbing and heating. While Sutherland notes he has had many gifted students, he said there’s a certain kind of

student that impacts him the most. “It’s always rewarding when you work with students that have struggled through the class only to see them working successfully in the trade a few years later.”

With his retirement date fast approaching, Sutherland al-ready has a solid plan on where life will take him next. First and foremost will be a much needed vacation to Virginia Beach for three weeks, where he and his wife and dog will travel in their RV. Once they return, Suther-land aims to continue operat-ing his antique shop on Water Street in Eastport each summer. He won’t be leaving the plumb-ing and heating trade entirely, however—he has taken on a new role as the code enforce-ment officer for Perry, and he will continue to serve as the plumbing inspector for several rural territories and towns.

2nd Opioid & Heroin Community Forum to be Held in Calais Calais. Healthy Acadia, Wa-

banaki Public Health, Maine Medical Association, Maine Community Foundation, and the Maine Health Access Foun-dation are partnering with the Maine Opioid Collaborative to coordinate a public conversa-tion about opioid use, includ-ing heroin, and the impacts on

local communities. The forum will be held on Monday, May 2, 2016 from 6pm to 8pm at the Calais High School. All are invited to this free event to learn and share their views on the challenges of opioid use and addiction. Light refreshments will be served.

The event will begin with a

presentation from professionals in law enforcement, substance use treatment, prevention and harm reduction speaking about what’s happening in Calais and throughout Washington County. Immediately following, break-out sessions will focus on three key areas: law enforcement, prevention and education, and

treatment and recovery. Ac-cording to Baileyville Police Chief Bob Fitzsimmons, the session focus areas were se-lected based upon feedback from a February 26, 2016 forum held in at Washington County Community College in Calais. Community members are encouraged to participate in

the breakout sessions and share their experiences, perspectives, and suggestions.

The ideas generated at the forum will be shared with the Maine Opioid Collaborative Task Forces to help inform their recommendations for fed-eral, state, and local actions to address the heroin/opioid epi-demic that Maine is currently experiencing.

“With the lack of snow and the early onset of spring, bears are out of their den ear-lier than normal. After living off their fat reserves, they emerge from their winter den hungry and are looking for food,” says Jen Vashon, IFW’s bear biologist. “Some bears will seek out easily ac-cessible foods in back yards. With a growing bear popula-tion that is expanding into central and southern Maine, there is a greater potential for conflicts. We want to remind people to remove attractants so they don’t create a poten-tially dangerous interaction with a bear.”

Already, the department has received 29 nuisance bear complaints this spring, spread throughout the state. Annually, the Department handles approximately 500 nuisance bear complaints, with May, June, and July being the busiest months for complaints. In 2015, the department responded to 415 complaints for the year.

Black bears emerge hun-gry from their dens after losing between 15-40% of their weight during winter and they immediately start looking for food. Bears will often turn to suburban attrac-tants such as bird feeders, pet food, and unsecured garbage bins when natural foods are not available.

“It is important for people to be proactive so they don’t attract bears to their homes. Don’t wait until a bear gets to your birdfeeder or grill. They become accustomed to the location where they find food and they will return,” said Vashon.

Much of a bear’s diet is vegetation, and many natu-ral foods such as leaves and grasses are not yet available. This time of year, bears will feed on grasses and sedges near wetlands, as well as the roots, tubes and bulbs of plants such as skunk cabbage and others. Bears are also opportunistic carnivores, and will also feed on moose calves, deer fawns, and small livestock.

In recent years, complaints associated with small live-stock such as chickens have increased as backyard farm-ing becomes more popular. To protect your livestock, please keep them behind a fence. At night, keep your animals in a secure build-ing.

Bears that live near people often rely on foods inadver-tently provided by people, such as highly nutritional sunflower seeds being fed to birds. Birdseed and other at-

tractants should be removed to prevent attracting or creat-ing nuisance bears.

In order to keep your home less attractive to bears, please:

Take down bird feeders, rake up and dispose of bird seed on the ground, and store remaining bird seed indoors.

Keep garbage cans inside until the morning of trash pickup

Keep your barbecue grill clean by burning off any food residue, disposing of wrappers and cleaning the grilling area after use. If pos-

sible, store grills inside when not in use.

Store pet and livestock food inside, and cleanup any uneaten food.

Keep small livestock be-hind a fence or in a secure building, especially at night.

Keep dumpster lids closed and locked.

Keep outbuilding and ga-rage doors closed.

By taking these precau-tions, homeowners are more likely to prevent conflicts that could pose a danger to or require corrective action such as moving or killing a bear. Removing these food sources will also limit other

backyard visitor (raccoons, skunks, etc.).

If you encounter a bear, do not approach the bear and slowly back away. If the bear approaches you, try to intimi-date the bear by waving your arms and making loud noises, such as clapping your hands or banging pots together. A cornered bear may charge. Always back away while giv-ing the bear an escape route. Although bear attacks are ex-tremely rare, if a bear charges you, stand your ground and if necessary fight back.

Local Couple Donates Anniversary Gifts To Sara's House

Enjoying Another Fun Saturday atCalais Free Library!

Freddie and Linda Sprague of Crawford, Maine, were celebrating their 50th Wedding anniversary on April 23, and they wanted to do something special.

In Lieu of receiving any gifts, the Sprague asked guests to support a place very spe-cial to them; Sara's House in Holden.

Linda, a two time cancer survivor, says that her husband drove her back and forth to Cancer Care in Brewer, but now that Sara's House is avail-able for cancer patients, choos-

ing a place to make a donation was easy.

"It (Sara's House) is very near and dear to our hearts. We didn't

have to think twice about where to donate."

The Spragues delivered $500 worth of gift cards,cash and

checks and approximately $500 worth of supplies,food,etc. to Sara's House, the result of donations from their adult chil-

dren, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

"It is a home away from home." says Linda.

North Perry Church Launches Steeple CampaignNew entrance and belfry will house historic schoolhouse bell

The folks at North Perry United Methodist have begun a fundraising campaign for an ambitious project that will give new life to an historic bell, and literally change the face of the little white church situated alongside Route One near Lewis Cove.

A new front entrance is planned that will open up the church to the road, with a belfry and steeple above to house the beautiful old black cast-iron bell that once summoned pupils to the one-room North Perry School that stood for many years at the corner of Route 1 and the Lake Road.

The bell fell silent in No-vember 1952 when the Clark School opened and the North Perry School and other small schools throughout the com-munity closed, consolidating Perry students under one roof for the first time.

When the former school building was razed in the early 1970s, its owners Dick & Cynthia Adams donated the bell to the church. Since then, the bell has been quietly stored away, awaiting its new life at the church. In the intervening years, other vital projects took precedence, such as new con-crete piers to stabilize the build-ing, a well and septic system, improvements to the kitchen, the addition of a restroom, handicapped-accessibility, a new roof, combination win-dows, insulation, new siding and a complete restoration of the sanctuary in conjunction with the Church’s centennial in 2009.

“After all these years, every-one is excited we are finally in a good position to proceed with this project. We hope to raise the necessary funds to complete

it this year. With Perry’s Bicen-tennial just around the corner in 2018, it is a great time to reclaim a piece of the Town’s history for future generations to enjoy,” said church council chairman Kevin Raye.

The repurposing of the old bell is particularly poignant given that, before the church was built in 1909, its congrega-tion held worship services at the North Perry School as they planned and worked to raise the money to build their church. “So this same bell would have beckoned those early Perry Methodists to worship before our church was even built,” said congregation member Fred Fitch.

While it has been 64 years since the bell last beckoned pupils to class, some of the more senior church members remember it vividly. Frances Morrison Raye, 87, now the oldest member of the church, recalls how children loved to ring the bell. Her brother Gray “Bud” Morrison, 85, also at-tended the North Perry School, as did Dick Adams, 80, who still lives in the house where he grew up next door. Herb Bishop, 72, was among the students at the school when it closed in 1952.

The construction of a belfry and steeple also gives the con-gregation the opportunity to address another issue that has long been a concern: people passing by on Route One can-not see its current entrance. “Adding our new front entrance and combining it with the stee-ple will provide a more inviting and welcoming appearance for people, and that is important to us,” said Tessa Chaffey Ftorek, whose late father Rev. Roland Chaffey served the church for

27 years.“Interestingly, when the

church was built, the entrance did face the road, which was then located behind the build-ing’s present location. After the route was changed in 1924, the church was back-to the new road, so the building was lifted and rotated a half-turn. However, since the addition of a much-needed vestry in 1952, the entrance has not been vis-ible from the road,” noted Gary Nixon, chairman of the church trustees.

“This is an exciting time of growth and great energy at the North Perry Church. The mem-bers of the congregation are not only sharing God’s love in the community and beyond, but they are wonderful stewards of this lovely little church. It’s a blessing to be part of this,” added Pastor David Peterson.

If you would like to make a donation, please make out your check to North Perry United Methodist Church, note “Steeple Campaign” on the memo line, and mail it to

Karen Raye, Church Treasurer, 63 Sunset Cove Lane, Perry, ME 04667. Please note if you want your contribution to be

recorded as in memory or in honor of someone.

Governor LePage Signs LD 1523 to Increase Wages for Law Enforcement Officers

Governor Paul R. LePage signed a bill into law bring-ing Maine law enforcement wages in the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and Department of Marine Re-sources more in line with other New England states.

LD 1523, “Resolve, To Pro-vide Wage Parity for Supervi-sors of Law Enforcement Per-sonnel,” sponsored by Senator Paul Davis (R-Sangerville),

provides for the upward adjust-ment of salary schedules in fis-cal year 2015-16 by 12 percent to 18 percent for certain law en-forcement positions in the De-partment of Public Safety, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and Department of Marine Resources.

“Law enforcement officers across Maine put their lives on the line every day to protect the Maine people, and the value of their public service ought to be

reflected in a decent salary,” said Governor LePage. “To make the job even more dif-ficult, wages throughout state law enforcement positions are not comparable to local law en-forcement agencies or other de-partments in New England.”

Recruitment in law enforce-ment positions within State government remains a chal-lenge. For example, the De-partment of Public Safety has a total of 324 Maine State Police

positions with 32 now vacant. An additional 25 members of the Maine State Police are eli-gible for retirement this year.

According to the Depart-ment of Public Safety, there has been a dramatic decrease in applicants for the State Police and only 11 successful applicants in 2015. Troopers in other New England states average $6 to $14 more per hour compared to Maine. The State is also competing with

local police agencies that pay higher salaries than the Maine State Police.

Maine’s commercial fisher-ies and hunting and fishing are highly dependent on the work carried out by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the Department of Marine Resources, and the bill adjusts wage parity issues accordingly for law enforcement positions within these agencies, as well.

AG Janet Mills, Emily Cain to Speak at County Democrats Dinner

Maine Attorney General Janet Mills and Maine 2nd congressional candidate Emily Cain will be the featured speakers at the Washington County Democrats’ Norman Nelson Community Ser-vice Award Dinner, slated for May 14 in the Catholic parish hall on Broadway in Machias. Clyde Bernhardt, 50-year veteran of the Machias Fire Department and long-time school bus driver, will be honored posthmously for his community service, as will a living Washington County resident yet to be determined.

Mills, a Democrat, has been in the news frequently in the past six years because of her many legal clashes with Republican Gov. Paul LePage. Cain, who made an unsuccessful 2014 run for the 2nd CD slot vacated by Mike Michaud, is vying to unseat Republican Bruce Poliquin, her op-ponent of two years ago.

The dinner starts at 5:30 and will offer the option of pork loin, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans or chickpea curry and salad. The awards will be presented after the dinner, and the speakers will take the floor at 7 p.m. A silent auction drawing will complete the program. A donation of $15 per person is suggested for the fundraiser.

Dedication of Renovated Washington County Courthouse on May 5, 2016Justices of the Maine Su-

preme Judicial Court and state, county and local officials will dedicate the newly renovated and expanded Washington County Courthouse in Machias on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. The courthouse is located at 85 Court Street, Machias.

This $8.5 million state-fund-ed project began in June 2013 and was completed on time and

within budget earlier this year. The construction renovated the 1855 courthouse and added an addition to the Washington County Courthouse. The build-ing has operated continuously as a courthouse since 1855.

The project improved safety, technology and energy efficien-cy for all those using the court-house. The project provides improved security through centralized entry screening,

two new courtrooms, a modern clerk’s office, jury room and meeting room spaces. Two

new parking areas were built to serve courthouse users and court employees.

The dedication will be open to the public and the media.

Senator Angus King’s Weekly Column

Fighting to Preserve ARCH, Improve Choice Program for Maine Veterans

Collins, King Welcome More Than $200,000 in Grant Funding for Rural Maine Community Organizations

Our nation’s veterans deserve easy and convenient access to high-quality health care – and that’s exactly what the Ac-cess Received Closer to Home (ARCH) program helps deliver for veterans in Aroostook Coun-ty. And when a program works so well, it only makes sense to continue it. That’s why Senator Susan Collins and I have been hard at work trying to extend the program beyond this sum-mer, when it is currently set to expire.

The ARCH program has been operating at Cary Medical Center in Caribou since 2011. According to Cary Medical Center, the program serves more than 1,400 local veterans

and has provided in excess of 17,000 medical appointments since its inception. Without this partnership, veterans in Northern Maine would have to travel up to 600 miles roundtrip to access care at the Togus VA Hospital in Augusta, and a trip of that length can pose signifi-cant hardship for our veterans. That’s just part of the reason why ARCH is so important.

But without Congressional action, ARCH is set to expire on August 7, 2016. So in March, Senator Collins and I intro-duced legislation that would extend the ARCH program for an additional five years.

Though our bill to preserve ARCH has not yet received

a vote in the Senate, we did get some very encouraging news from the Senate Appro-priations Committee earlier this month. The committee passed its Fiscal Year 2017 Military Construction and Veterans Af-fairs (MilCon-VA) spending bill, which includes a two-year ARCH extension. There is more work left to be done to make sure the extension becomes law, but this is a significant step for-ward in our work to extend this vital program and ensure that Maine’s veterans receive the timely and convenient health care services they deserve. I commend Senator Collins for her work on the Appropriations Committee, and I will continue

to fight alongside her to try to shepherd this much-needed ex-tension through the Senate.

While we push to save ARCH through the appropriations process, I will also work with Senator Collins to pass our legislation in order to extend the programs for a full five years. By providing additional time to evaluate the successes of the ARCH program, our legislation would give Congress and the VA an opportunity to learn from and potentially use those suc-cesses to address existing prob-lems with the Veterans Choice Program. According to the VA, less than half of eligible Choice Program patients in Maine have received their appointments.

That’s simply unacceptable, and the VA should use ARCH as a model in order to improve Choice for veterans throughout Maine and across the Nation – something that Senator Col-lins, Congresswoman Pingree, Congressman Poliquin and I all urged VA Secretary Robert McDonald to do in a joint letter sent this February.

Everyone who has fought for this country shouldn’t have to fight for quality, convenient health care. I look forward to continuing to work with the other members of the Maine Delegation to extend ARCH, improve Choice, and see that our veterans receive the best care in a timely manner.

U.S. Senators Susan Col-lins and Angus King wel-comed the announcement that five community organizations in rural Maine will benefit from a total of $206,400 in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, Downeast Salmon Federation, Eastport Arts Center, Aroostook Den-tal Clinic, and Unity Barn Raisers will all receive grants to further their work in Maine communities.

“Community organizations across Maine go to great lengths to make our state stronger, and these federal grants will help five impres-sive groups as they go about their important missions,”

said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “The Houlton Band of Mali-seet Indians, Downeast Salm-on Federation, Eastport Arts Center, Aroostook Dental Clinic and Unity Barn Raisers are all hard at work to im-prove their communities, and we applaud these investments in the future of Maine.”

These grants come through USDA Rural Development, a sub agency that works to im-prove the economy and quali-ty of life across rural America. The funding for these projects has been awarded through the Rural Development’s Community Facility Grants program. More information on each individual grant is available below:

-The Houlton Band of Ma-liseet Indians (Houlton) will receive a $29,700 Community Facility grant and a $20,300 Rural Economic Impact Ini-tiative grant for the develop-ment of a tribal cemetery in Littleton.

-The Downeast Salmon Federation, Inc. (Machias) will receive a $50,000 Com-munity Facility grant to com-plete the third and final con-struction phase at the East Machias Aquatic Research Center.

-Eastport Arts Center (East-port) will receive a $50,000 Community Facility grant for

energy conservation improve-ments and costs savings by replacing outdated appliances and increasing the insulation value of the facility’s walls.

-Aroostook Dental Clinic, Inc. (Presque Isle) will receive a $35,500 Rural Economic

Impact Initiative grant to purchase a new central nitrous system and additional operat-ing room instrumentation.

-Unity Barn Raisers (Unity) will receive a $20,900 Rural Economic Impact Initiative grant to help replace the com-

munity center’s sill and install three heat pumps to assist with energy efficiency measures.

More information on these grants is available HERE from USDA Rural Development in Maine.

SummerKeys Marks 25th Season in 2016SummerKeys, A Music Vacation

in Lubec will once again opens its doors to musicians and artists from across the globe for the summer of 2016 - our 25th consecutive season of bringing music and art appreciators to Down East, Maine!

SummerKeys boasts over a dozen instrumental programs, offering instruction to adults with all ability levels. We continue to offer work-shops in Visual and Performing Arts, as well. We will introduce three new programs this year - an additional 2 weeks of Jazz Piano in August, with new faculty member, Sebastien Ammann, a Fiddle Workshop to in-clude not only violin, but viola and cello, too, and a Photography Master Class.

All music and art workshops are open to all instructional levels – nov-ice to expert - with no auditions or prior experience required. From mid-June through August, music courses are led by skilled instructors in: piano, jazz piano, music composition, voice, violin, viola, cello, classical guitar, mandolin, fiddle, Celtic harp, flute, clarinet, oboe, trumpet and instrumen-tarium (ukelele, banjo, theramin and/or any other uncommon instrument you choose to explore). Courses of-fered in the arts include: photography, creative writing, dance and cabaret!

The Mary Potterton Memorial Concert Series will be enriching and entertaining the community once again this summer. These concerts, mainly featuring the widely acclaimed

talent of the SummerKeys' faculty, are presented each week at 7:30 PM, (on Wednesdays with one noted exception). Intermission refreshments are hosted by local businesses. All concerts are free and open to the public – although piano tuning donations are graciously accepted.

Our opening concert, a Trio of Chamber Music, will take place on June

22nd featuring John New-ell, piano; Ina Litera, violin and Matt Goeke, cello. Bruce Potterton, founder and director of Summer-Keys, will perform his an-nual solo piano concert the following week on June 29th. A complete list of this year's twelve summer con-certs as well as a July 28th evening of Cabaret at the Lubec Grange can be found on our website, as can an

interesting and informative article on “SummerKeys History”.

This annual event heralds the arrival of spring!

Greenhouses, nurseries and garden centers statewide will be celebrating on

Saturday, April 30 as the industry kicks off the growing season with Maine Greenhouse and Nursery Day. This annual event is always the Saturday of the week end before Mother's Day.

For the sixth year, dozens of family-owned horticulture-related businesses will hold

special events to highlight gardening in Maine. Planned activities for the events in-clude giveaways, door prizes, raffles, plants and balloons for children, container-plant-ing demonstrations, personal tours, expert speakers and mini workshops. Participating greenhouses and nurseries also will preview spring introduc-tions and share their expertise by offering gardening tips, information on plant varieties and ideas for window box and

Moosehorn Refuge - Annual Prescribed Fire Program

Acting Refuge Manager Steve Agius has announced that staff at the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Baring is prepared for the 2016 fire season. Firefight-ers will be on-hand for wildfire suppression, prescribed burning, and fire line construction and maintenance during the spring, summer and fall months. Ref-uge firefighters will be assisted by other fire qualified refuge personnel as well as personnel from Acadia National Park and rangers from the Maine Forest Service in both training and sup-port roles.

Under the refuge’s 2016 An-nual Prescribed Fire Plans, burns will be conducted in Refuge grasslands, blueberry fields and brush. The Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge has been suc-cessfully conducting prescribed burns for over twenty years. All operations are consistent with existing Department of the Interior and National Wildfire Coordinating Group guidelines and policies.

Although controlled burning is planned to occur under a tight set

of prescribed conditions which minimize impacts to wildlife and the public, there may be some short periods of time when smoke may impair visibility on public roads that pass through the refuge. Refuge personnel will post warning signs to advise drivers of any hazardous condi-tions. Visitors driving through the Refuge are strongly encour-aged to heed warning signs and slow down when visibility is impaired. Smoke columns pro-duced are expected to be fairly large and visible for several miles. It would be appreciated that if you spot a smoke column and think it may be a wildfire, please call the refuge office at 454-7161 to see if there is a burn in progress before notifying other authorities.

There are several purposes for conducting prescribed burns. Grasslands and meadows are burned to keep woody vegeta-tion such as trees and brush from becoming established and to maintain the area in a predomi-nantly grass cover. Grasslands are becoming an increasingly

rare habitat type throughout Maine, due to a decline in agri-cultural operations. Bird species dependent on grasslands include savannah sparrows, bobolinks, and eastern bluebirds. Blueberry fields are burned to maintain the production of blueberries as a source of food for wildlife, and to provide roosting and foraging sites for a wide variety of migra-tory birds including the Ameri-can woodcock. Areas of slash are burned to reduce hazardous fuel buildups which could result in a large wildfire and to stimu-late natural regeneration of the forest through nutrient recycling and seed bed preparation.

Anyone interested in the Moosehorn’s fire management program is invited to contact the refuge office for additional infor-mation by calling (207)454-7161 or visiting the Refuge Headquar-ters, located off the Charlotte Road about three miles south of Route 1.

landscape design. “The horticulture industry

contributes over $280 million annually to Maine’s economy and provides thousands of jobs,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “Greenhouse and Nursery Day highlights the growing importance of Maine horticulture.”

“Every dollar spent in Maine greenhouses and nurseries sup-port local economies,” said Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Commissioner Walt Whit-comb. “More than half of the plants sold in Maine are grown right here. I encourage Mainers to visit their local garden centers this Saturday for Maine Greenhouse and Nursery Day.”

The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry licenses and provides technical assistance to more than 1,340 businesses selling plants in Maine. To support this growing industry, the Department certifies plant exports, regulates imported plants and assists growers with plant pest problems.

Maine Greenhouse and Nursery Day is supported by the Ornamental Horticulture Council and the Mid-Maine Greenhouse Growers Asso-ciation.

Shead Sweeps Openers Against WoodlandTigers/Tigerettes Win Close Contests At Home Saturday

Shead hosted the Woodland Dragons Saturday under wet condi-tions and cold temperatures. The games were held up a half hour for the rain to end and get the fields prepared for play.

In the boys contest the Dragons put a run on the board in both of the first two frames while Drew Hayward held the hosts score-less. In the third Shead scored putting the game 2-1. Then in the fifth Woodland added another run only to see the Tigers tie the contest 3-3 in the bottom half of the fifth. Shead collected the winning run in the bottom of six – a great game for both squads under tough conditions. Matt Harris paced the win with 2-hits with Ryan Eylar adding a single with 2rbis. Windsor Brooks and Alex Morrison led the guests’ offense.

Woodland 110 010 0 3 5 3Shead 001 021 x 4 6 5In the softball game the Lady Dragons jumped to an early 12-1

The hosting Tigerettes played the final frame securing a 16-13 victory. Veteran senior Sierra Seeley powered the hosts decision with 2-doubles, a triple and 5 rbis. Brooke Robinson added a single/triple and Mitchell and Wilder each collected 2-singles.

April golf with dry June con-ditions is just what the Dr. ordered for a nice early start for the season. The golf course wintered very well and the crew is busy getting all the equipment up running. We are renting carts and have been mowing the greens for a couple days. I am already taking names for Men’s Twi-Lite League, and we're having the first official Calcutta of the season tomorrow night! Anyone who wants to play, be sure to call before 4 pm to get on the list. The Calcutta will shotgun at 5 pm as usual.

Things are going to be hap-pening quicker than you know it, so please stop down and grab a season events schedule and newsletter if you didn't get one last month. For those who did get the letter, hopefully you've noticed the first event on the schedule is the Club Opening Dinner on Sat. May 7th. The dinner is a great way to start the season with a hearty meal, a bunch of laughs, and a good rundown of upcoming events and info regarding projects and possible schedule changes. For example, the Blanchfield Husband & Wife and Mixed Couples has been moved up the schedule to July 23rd and 24th. We are very excited to let the members know that most of the Blanchfield family will be here for the tourney this year, which always makes the event that much more special.

Remember, there's some-thing for everyone here at the

club...Men’s and Ladies Twi-Lite Leagues, Senior Thurs-days, Junior Clinics, Friday Calcutta, Scrambles of every "shape and size", and of course, match and stroke play events throughout the season. All of the scheduled events are only as successful as the people who participate in them... which means- get out and join in the fun!!! Also, I want all the members and guests to know that my office is always open. I truly want to know about your experiences at the club...good or bad. Customer satisfaction is the number one priority for the staff, and myself and we can't fix problems if we're not aware of them. I will do everything in my power, within the budget, to create the best experience pos-sible for each and every member and guest.

As always, thanks for your continued support of the St. Croix C.C., Mike.

“To know Christ and make Christ known”

ROBERT W. DYER SR.Lambert Lake – Robert Watson Dyer Sr., 78, passed away sud-

The Broken Chain

We knew little that morn-ing that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide. Although we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is bro-ken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Love and miss you every day,

LODGING

Out and About By Dorothy Johnson

The sun shines bright, but the cool winds have kept the temperatures down. The weather forecasters have predicted rain mixed with snow for tomorrow. Maybe when that snow gets out of the air, the weather will warm up. The grass is turned green over night and grew three inches. It is almost time for the lawn mower and some more escapades.

The members of the People’s United Methodist Church sponsored a very successful Spring Fling last Saturday. With the book and puzzle sales, the clothes and whatnot sale, the lunches and the fudge and sweet sale over $1250 was earned for the United Methodist Women’s Trea-sury. These monies will be used for

the Christmas baskets for shut-ins and the Community Thanksgiving Dinner.

Members of the church are plan-ning their May supper for the first Thursday in May, May 5th to be exact. This will be another roast pork supper with vegetables and applesauce. The dessert has yet to be determined, but both Freddie Sprague and John Gallant claim that it will be wonderful. I hope to have more information on the dessert next week.

Members of the United Methodist Women will be having the church service on Mother’s Day, May 8th. Madeline Perkins is doing better after a long illness and hopes to get back to church to join the group on Mother’s day.

Anita Lydic reported that her daughter Trudy is getting out to go shopping and for rides in the car. Trudy suffered a debilitating stroke several years ago. It is great to hear of her getting out and about from the rehab center in Lincoln.

Eva Rose Fairbrother has been released from St. Joseph’s Hospital and is recovering at home. Visitors have said that she is doing much better.

Last week I reported that Dwight “Bud” Ferry was in Eastern Maine Medical Center. Before the ink was dry on that paper, Bud had been moved to Marshall Rehab home in Machias. This will be easier for Jan-ice to visit him. That road to Bangor is a long and tiring one so we are all glad to have Bud closer.

The Woodland community was saddened to hear of the death of Paul O’Neil last weekend. Paul had been traveling to work on construction projects in other states. When he did not have a construction assignment, he lived with his mom and dad on Hillside Street and helped them with shoveling snow and cleaning off the cars. Paul was also helpful in his neighborhood when senior citizens needed assistance. He will be missed and sympathy is being sent to his family and friends.

Two restaurants in the area, the Big Stop in Woodland and the Wickachee in Calais, have completed renovation projects and the places look great. The food in both places has always been very good with excellent specials offered through the week.

Readers are encouraged to support the benefit suppers coming up. The Spednic Club will spon-sor one for Allena Corbett on Friday, April 30th and the folks of Alexander and Crawford will sponsor a benefit supper and Chinese Auction at the Alexander Elementary School for Ron McArthur on May 7 at 5:00 p.m.

We are sending special hellos to all of the people in poor health and needing a nod from home. Those hellos are going out to Ed Howe, Margaret Graham, Tom McLaughlin, Susan Mc-Cray, Winnie Dorr, Dick Carroll and Bud Ferry. Sally Doten and Carol Smith are having cataracts removed in Ellsworth this week and next week. We wish them the best of luck.

Stay Safe and have a good week.

Toward Right Relationship with Maine-Wabanaki: A Journey of Healing

Quakers from the Midcoast and Downeast regions will be meeting at the Whiting Com-munity Building on Saturday, May 7, 2016 from 10:15 a.m. until noon.

Jamie Bissonette Lewey will lead a program – Toward Right Relationship with Maine-Wabanaki: A Journey of Healing.”

Indigenous people and Quakers in New England live with the legacy of centuries of war. Through examining both the persistence of century-old frameworks of conquest and our shared, tragic history, we are confronting historic trauma and unresolved grief in order to begin a journey of healing together.

The Journey of Healing is a five phase pro-cess: i) acknowledging a wrong; ii) making an apology; iii) acceptance of the apology; iv) making amends; v) moving forward together. When injustices have been enacted over gen-erations, how do those historically on the side of the oppressors begin to offer genuine and meaningful apology? We cannot change the past, but we can change the future.

Jamie Bissonette Lewey is Director of the Healing Justice Program of American Friends Service Committee, New England, and Chair of the Maine Indian-Tribal State Commission.

This event is free and open to the public. Coffee will be available at 8:30 am. An open period of Quaker Worship will begin at 9:00. The program will begin promptly at 10:15 and end around noon. For more information, please contact Beth Clifford at 214-4988 or [email protected]

By Dorothy Johnson

With the new barn built quite a way from the old house, it was time to think of building a new house. Probably the proximity to the barn was the first prior-ity and with an artesian well already dug and equipped with the hand pump, it only made sense to choose the highest knoll closest to the barn and the water source.

Many farm buildings in the area had the house connected to the barn by covered walkways, narrow woodsheds or other util-ity buildings. For example here on the Ridge Charlie and Addie Allen’s house and barn were all connected. Outback Dan and Mabel Diffin’s buildings were connected. This made for easy access to the animals in nasty weather. The bigger buildings (i.e. barn and house) had to be separated by other useful build-ings to keep the aromas of apple pie and molasses cookies sepa-rate from the healthy aromas of manure. The hen houses were nowhere near either the barn or the house. This was an aroma that no one wanted close.

A connected barn and house, however, were not in Grandpa’s plans. He wanted the house close but not connected. Maybe he thought the terrain did not support the connection because most of the connections were in a straight line with the house on one end and the barn on the other end. Whatever his reasoning was, it did not happen. He did, however, build the house close enough to the barn so that when

the barn was struck by lightning, the house caught fire too.

The house Grandpa built was big. It had an entry, a pantry, an adequate kitchen, a large dining room and a living room, parlor and hall on the first floor. Up-stairs he built four regular-sized bedrooms, a small bedroom at the head of the front stairs, a huge bedroom and two good-sized open areas, one held a bed and overlooked the fields and the other held squash, both good squash and rotten squash depending on the season. The narrow back stairs went from the back bedroom to the back door and the much wider front stairs went from the open area to the front door. By today’s standards, it probably would be considered good planning.

Now that the new house was ready for occupancy, it was time to dismantle the old house. No building could be left vacant with so many needs on the farm. The old house had already been dismantled when I was explor-ing the farm so some of my information is just what I think things were like. The old car-riage house was moved to the right of the old house. It did not have a door on it; just a big open space and in my time Grandpa’s pung was stored in there along with whatever “truck cart” we were using at the time. There was nothing fancy about the truck cart. It had four wheels and a “tongue” where the horses could be harnessed and later a contraption to hook the tractor to it. The two front wheels and the tongue are still attached to it

today. The rest of it is gone.The carriage house, which is

just my name for an old shed, had an upstairs in it and that is why I figured that the old house had two sets of stairs, just like the new house. The second set of stairs remained in the old house and that part of it became the woodworking shop. The stairs in that part of the house were impassable in my time so I do not know if we had upstairs bedrooms or not. ( I expect they did or why would they need two sets of stairs.) I never saw the upstairs in the woodworking shop, but I went up the stairs in the carriage house many times. Every time I dared to try the stairs it was an exploration fraught with dangers like broken boards, holes in the stairs and a step or two missing, but what treasures were up there. I found old toys like sleds and marbles, broken tools with only a handle or the head of a hammer, and many things I could not name. It was like being on a treasure hunt. I am not sure anyone actually knew I was in that part of the old house or it probably would have been forbidden ter-ritory. Then, as now, I preferred to beg forgiveness rather than ask for consent.

The woodworking shop had assorted handles for axes, pick axes, pitchforks and hammers. Grandpa had the old fashioned saws and blades for the hand-held equipment that smoothed boards and handles. Every-thing was hanging around the workbench within reach of the worker. The chimney was still there in the middle of the house and to the right of the front door was the area I considered the kitchen. It had a few peach

One can of cream of chicken soupOne can of black beans (drained just a bit)

One can of whole kernel corn drainedOne and a half cups of milk

Add cheese and serve.

boxes nailed to the wall for cupboards and once I found a broken vase or cup of some sort. Grammie did not have any of the fancy things in life so there was not a lot to find.

The very bottom of the old house was the blacksmith shop. It was still connected to the woodworking shop, but on a lower level. It was not the cellar, though it might have been part of the cellar. The blacksmith shop had a door and it always seemed cold to me. We had a big fire pit against the right wall and coal and bellows to get the fire really hot. The fire was used to heat horse shoes and other iron tools to a red hot, malleable state. Once the item was hot, it was hammered into the shape desired and then put in a bucket of water.

The blacksmith shop also had a big grindstone that was used to sharpen axes and saws. I was sometimes asked (told) to turn the grindstone while my father or uncle worked on something. Grandpa also had a huge vice

to hold tools while he reshaped them. I found all kinds of old screws and nuts and bolts around that area. It was a bit spookier than the woodworking shop so I did not go there alone very often.

I am sure that many farms in the area were just like ours. Farmers had to be self-sufficient because they could not leave the farm when something broke. They had to fix it themselves. Farm machines, tools, harnesses, wagons and wheels were all re-paired by the men (boys) on the farm. Almost every moment was spent in doing chores required to keep the farm going. A rainy day did not mean a day off; it meant that some of the indoor repairs would get some time.

The recipe this week will be short and sweet. It is quick and easy and is highly recommended by a newer generation of young cooks. This Chicken Enchilada Soup comes with the recom-mendation of Jayna Smith , one of younger enthusiastic cooks of this new generation.

The Alexander town website is up and running, with some more work still to do. It can be viewed at www.alexander-maine.weebly.com.

Roxanne Moore, Breakneck Mountain ATV Secretary, re-ports that the club’s meetings are held on the last Wednes-day of each month, making the next meeting May 25th.

Alexander Grange was un-able to have a meeting on April 20th due to illnesses, family passings and folks be-ing away. Hopefully everyone will be available for the May 4th meeting which will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Christine Henry of Crawford was kind enough to give me an update on her most recent trip, and by the sounds of it, it was a trip of a life time. She arrived on the island of Bali on April 1st for the Earth &amp, Sky Teacher Training immersion. Over 30 students from all over the world spent hours working with asana (yoga poses), early morning practices, eating de-licious healthy food, hiking a million stairs, learning more Thai Body Work, teaching to people with and without limi-tations, the Yamas &amp, Ni-yamas (Yoga’s ethical guide to living), and Ayurveda. It was an incredible journey and now Christine is trying to flow with

the current of life. Bali time is 12 hours ahead so when it’s time to sleep, she’s awake and when it’s time to be awake, she wants to sleep! Sounds to me like Christine had an awesome adventure that will also help her with business, Peaceful Postures Yoga and Wellness in Calais.

Elizabeth McVicar was able to travel to Bangor for the week while husband Dave was there working. While in Ban-gor Elizabeth got to relax and visit with son Shawn McVicar and saw her granddaughter Amethyst Curtis. Also during vacation Elizabeth was able to travel to St. George, NB for a Family Benefit for a relative in need.

Greg and Beverly Holst of Alexander, along with son Na-than, daughter-in-law Linsey, and grandsons Trenton and Hunter Holst, went to Boston April 15th and 16th. They at-tended a Red Sox game against the Blue Jays and Boston won. Grandson Hunter came home with Greg and Bev on Mon-day and stayed until Friday. They had lots of fun on the four wheeler and just spending time together.

On April 29th People’s United Methodist Church will have another free family mov-ie night and they will be show-ing “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.

On May 7th there will be a benefit supper and Chinese auction at AES beginning at 5:00 pm for Ronnie McArthur who is battling cancer. For more information or to make donations contact AES at 454-2623.

Birthday wishes this upcom-ing week go out to Kathy Hun-newell, Mark Knowles, Maya Mann, Suzette Moholland and Phil McVicar.

Good thoughts are being sent out to the following folks: Rhonda Oakes, Ron McArthur, Mathew Sullivan, Ed Cislak, Rhoda Leavitt, Lynn Hill, Avis McIntyre, Chris Landry, Tru-dy Poole, Madeline Perkins, David Carson, Charlie White,

Elwin Daley, Vicki O’Neil, Gail Moffitt, Luann Durgin, Pete James, Lois Faloon, April Webber and Larry Hill.

Condolences to David and Elizabeth McVicar on the passing of David’s uncle Neil.

I had another great week at the Beckett Center practic-ing for the Spring Olympics to be held at the University of Maine at Machias on May 6th. I participate in the softball throw and wheelchair events and always enjoy the cookout they provide.

I was able to eat out twice this week with friends, once at Linda’s in Baileyville and the

second time, Chinese in Cal-ais. With the weather chang-ing to seem more like spring we were able to get outside for more activities.

This week was quiet at home as mom spent most of her time resting after what ended up being a bigger surgery than we planned. But we sure do have great friends who have brought in food so mom hasn’t had to cook. Mom even got some nice cards and flowers from our church. Dad also has done a great job taking over all of mom’s duties she can’t like putting in the laundry and tak-ing care of me. Thanks, Dad!

If you have news, you can get it to me by email at [email protected] or by phone at 454-2344. Until next time, stay safe.

Here is a small bonus Alex-ander/Crawford historical col-umn for you until John and I resume this project next fall.

The articles researched and written by John Dudley of A/CHS in the winter of 2014-15 are online at mainethings.com/alexander. A memory of Don McLellan about log-ging on Pocomoonshine in the 1950s should bring memories to readers. Pat Cormier’s ren-dition of “Tight Like Bark to a Tree” adds to the sounds of our local singers. In the Time-

line, chapter 5, is an 1823 ar-ticle based on Belle Carlow’s newspaper collection, and in chapter 10 are stories by many locals about the forest fires of 1947.

Four local transportation ar-ticles give a picture of travel in the past. Real pictures are found in “Traveling in Style,” “Early Roads” and “Wayside Springs” connect Alexander to our neighbors and “Winter Travel” and “Summer Roads” describe the work performed to keep our roads passable. Over two dozen items were added to the Airline Road. The 1797 survey and map by

Park Holland represents the first known plan for an interior road between the Penobscot and St. Croix Rivers.

The 1829 survey represents the earliest description of the road. An 1839 petition by Al-exander men tells why the Air-line here is not like described in 1829. For those interested in the more recent past, we list mile markers, a cell phone tower, a new dam in Crawford and the Lanesbrook neighbor-hood in Alexander.

If you have a story or his-toric fact about the Airline, let John know at 454-7476.

HN Bergin was sitting in the sand on Del Mar beach on Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in California as medical coverage to marines with first marine division when Chestnut the squirrel noticed her enjoying some sunflower seeds. She quickly fed him one, and eventually he was eating out of her hand. Quickly a friendship grew, and she and Chestnut were eating seeds and taking pictures together. Chestnut let her pet him and he stayed right in her lap for about two hours on a sunny Thursday while the marines trained and HN Bergin supported them. (Photo submitted by Anne Bergin).

BaringSally Doten

454-2625Not much going on here this

week, but not unusual for the village. We try to keep out of the news instead of making it.

Fred and Tina Erskine have been traveling to southern

Maine taking the girls , Katie and Emily, to play summer basketball. I think we will have a couple of superstars here in another year.

Alice Olsson has returned home after visiting with her daughter and family in Gor-

ham.As Overseer of the Baring

Cemetery, I want you to be aware that cleaning will begin next week. If you want any flowers or ornaments saved, you need to get them removed. Everything will be taken to the dumpster there. Today when I went up I noticeed a black rod iron bench and the Bartlett grave was disturbed. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. Because so many people now use a cell phone and landlines have been removed it makes it very difficult to me to contact

some people. And while on the subject of the cemetery, I am asking for donations from families with loved ones buried there. Last year we completed the strengthening of some headstones at the cost of $3000. That amount about wiped out the checking account. If you wish to donate for more reno-vations, please send a check made out to the BARING CEMETERY in care of me at 69 Center St. Baring 04694. I appreciate your generosity.

If I get busy, I hope to have historical information this week or next in this paper. While

cleaning out Clyde and Mu-riel’s home, Mary came across several interesting articles about Baring, the church, the bridge, and the cemetery. I hope to share with you.

By the time you read this, I will have had my eye surgery. If I can see to type, my challenge will be to organize and write a few columns about our little town and how it got started.

I hope you have a great week. Stay healthy and “don’t take any wooden nickels.”

Now that the official tax payment season have finished let’s hope that the campaign season can finish soon also! There is an old German Prov-erb that says, “Rent and Taxes Never Sleep!” Another truism that continues year after year is, “The Sun Always Wins”. Warmer weather will arrive and so it is this week. Several days forecast ahead are con-firming that “The Sun Always Wins”.

Attention Grand Lake Stream cooks! Get your five recipes to Roxzanna Montague by May 2 to be included in the Women to Women cookbook!

On Thursday, April 21st I attended the Downeast Lakes Land Trust sponsored program with the State furbearer bi-ologist Cory Mosby for an in-depth presentation about the numerous furbearer species of Maine. Cory provided many examples of various furs. I had not realized that the beaver is Maine’s largest rodent! A very interesting presentation Cory. Thanks DLLT!

Hi David, We had a good turnout for our dinner. Judy Miller did a great job decorat-ing the tables. Dayle Owen was the greeter extraordinaire. Sue Whitely was the master sauce

maker and Karen Sprague and Linda Evans salad and garlic bread makers. Elaine Brown was the organizer of the bake sale. And of course husbands were once again behind the scenes saying “yes dear.” Thanks Andrea for this up-date.

Maine Forest Service urges caution with all outdoor fires. A mild winter and lack of snow-pack mean Maine’s spring wildfire season has started ap-proximately two weeks earlier than in the past

The Department of Agricul-ture, Conservation and For-estry’s Maine Forest Service is requesting people be extremely careful with any outdoor fires. To date, there have been nearly 80 Maine wildfires that have burned a total of 120 acres and threatened several homes. Most of these fires are caused by people being careless while burning outdoors. Either the fire gets away from them, or they fail to fully extinguish the fire and it rekindles the next day.

Environmental conditions for the next several days are not favorable for safe outdoor burning. Warm afternoon tem-peratures, low relative humid-ity and gusty, dry winds en-courage the spread of wildfire. Combined with dry, dead grass

and fallen branches from last year, it will not take much for a small fire to get out of control.

For those who want to burn in the unorganized townships, please contact the Regional Headquarters for the Maine Forest Service Monday through Friday 8 – 4pm. Augusta 624-3700, Old Town 827-1800, Ashland 435-7963.

The Maine Forest Service has two online resources avail-able for those interested in having an outdoor fire. The wildfire danger report is issued each morning and is a good way to determine whether it’s safe to have an outdoor fire. Please visit http://maine.gov/dacf/mfs/wildfire_danger_re-port/index.html and sign up to receive the predicted class day via email or text message.

The coyote contest had a Complete Predator Package drawing with only 200 tick-ets sold. The winner of the drawing is Jerry Freeman of Lincoln, Maine. Congratula-tions, Jerry! Final numbers are as follows: 114 totals harvest-ed, 69 males and 45 females. Many thanks to everyone that participated and supported this year’s hunt.

Last week I took an ATV and traveled out to Farm Cove Dam. The road was very rutted but had no problem supporting an ATV. Later in the week I traveled the East Side of Big Lake in a pick-up on Yates Point Road and found the road quite firm. This road had been gated so the road damage to rutting had been reduced. While traveling the Bonny Brook Road on a warm sunny day it was a treat to “spot love-lies sun bathing”!!

April 27th Administrative Professionals’ Day

Daffodil sap is toxic to tu-lips. Before mixing flowers together in a vase, soak the daffodil stems in a separate bucket of water for 24 hours. Do not recut.

National Arbor Day is the 29th. A popular small tree for the landscape, native flower-ing dogwood has white or pink showy bracts in spring, bright red fruit in late sum-mer or autumn, and red-pur-ple autumn foliage.

The St. Stephen Kiwanis Trade Show is on Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th at Garcelon Civic Center. Priz-es and giveaways, canteen and food vendors.

The Garden Club will hold a Spring Tea on Saturday, May 14th (11 am US - 2:30 pm) at the Holmestead on Maine Street. On Wednes-

day, they gathered at the Nook and Cranny for lunch. A good attendance and lots of laughs.

A little boy came home eating a big candy bar. See-ing the candy bar, his mother remembered he had already spent all his allowance mon-ey. Surprised, she asked him where he got it. “I bought it at the store with the dollar you gave me,” he said. “But that dollar was for Sunday School,” his mother replied. Smiling, the boy said, “I know Mom, but the pastor met me at the door and got me in for free!”

On Saturday, April 30th, there will be a breakfast and work day at Baring Baptist Church. Come as you are and work for your breakfast that you will enjoy.

Ken and Edith Colson traveled to Bangor and on to Boston for appointments last week. We hope all went well.

Soup and Poetry Night

at Calais Free Library is on April 29th 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Come and share poems and enjoy the soups, breads, etc.

Sally Doten finally got an-other new washing machine. A bit different but still have to get used to it. Keep the faith, Sal.

Prayers are with you, Bill Gibson, in Florida. Hope to see you and the wife home soon. Still a bit cold here.

The Queen celebrated her 90th birthday on Thursday, April 21st, looking lovely as she walked about the crowds and many pictures were tak-en. The great-grandchildren are beautiful.

Tim Jewett came in the drug store often and he al-ways called me Queen Eliza-beth. “How’s the queen, you just fly in today, how are things at the palace?” He was so serious.

James and Starla Dean had a good turnout for their con-cert last Saturday evening at the Second Baptist Church. A nice variety of finger food was served following the concert.

Three time Juno Award winner, David Francey, will perform at All Saints Angli-can Church on May 8, start-ing at 6:30 U.S.

For all the ladies who love to attend teas, there will be a

granddaughters in NH who just celebrated their birthdays also, Hope Howard in FL.

WCCC Students Join All-Maine Academic Team

Two distinguished women have joined the All-Maine Academic Team for their out-standing efforts at Washington County Community College. Heidi Look of the Medical Assisting program and Chloe Wiebe of the Adventure Rec-reation program were each honored at a banquet held in Augusta on March 23rd, join-ing twelve other students from the Maine Community College System.

“It is an honor to be part of the All-Maine Academic Team!” Look enthused. A non-

traditional student from East Machias, Look describes her initial trepidation toward com-ing back to school. “After 13 years away from school, I was nervous and had doubts of being able to further my education.” However, once she began attending classes, her confidence soared. “The teach-ers and staff at WCCC offered tremendous support and my doubts of furthering my educa-tion was turned into reality.”

Look was recognized for her academic prowess with nu-merous scholarships and soon

became a part of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, which sponsors the All-Maine Aca-demic Team. She aspires to join the upcoming nursing program at WCCC to become an RN so that she may work in a trauma center or emergency room.

Wiebe also found significant support at WCCC. “WCCC is over the top when it comes to supporting individual students in accomplishing their goals,” she said. A resident of St. Ste-phen, Wiebe entered the Ad-venture Recreation program to further her desire to become a wilderness therapist. “The Ad-venture Recreation and Tour-ism program is exceptional in its ability to introduce students to a variety of outdoors skills, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in working in the outdoors or wanting to become a more confident leader.” Wiebe was granted the Outstanding Achievement award by WCCC last year for her exceptional performance in the program.

Once she completes her de-gree at WCCC, Wiebe will be returning to Canadian Men-nonite University to gain a degree in Peace and Conflict, thereby combining her wilder-ness expertise with a profound humanitarian understanding. “There is great value in further-ing your education whether you feel that you are an academic or not,” she professes.

Both students have received a $500 scholarship from Phi Theta Kappa as part of the honor of being named to the All-Maine Academic Team.
