LePage Visits Calais For Town Hall MeetingBy Amy Jeanroy

On March 10th, Governor Paul LeP-age hosted a town hall meeting at Calais High School and asked the community to submit questions for him to answer.

He spoke to a large crowd about some of the topics that he has been and contin-ues to work on that affect Maine, such as:

• Lowering taxes to make our state more business friendly and allow people

to keep more of their money. • Reducing the energy costs in Maine

saying we have the 12th highest energy costs in America.

• Welfare reform saying that Maine has a wait list of 4200 people and that 80% of Maine voters want welfare reform.

• Education spending in Maine is ranked # 7 in spending, but 38th in per-formance.

Community members submitted ques-tions ahead of time and took turns

asking and listening to the Governor's responses.

Questions about funding for drug en-forcement agents in Washington County, educational funding, lowering student loan debt, fishing laws, and how to bring back a nursing home to the area were among the topics.

The recording of the meeting text is available on The Calais Advertiser Fa-cebook page, or see www.thecalaisadver-tiser.com for the entire meeting.

Marianne Moore Reflects on Time as Mayor and Calais’ ChallengesBy Lura Jackson

Mayor Marianne Moore sat down with The Calais Adver-tiser to share her experiences and reflections on being Mayor of Calais for two terms, as well as to offer advice to future may-ors on the challenges facing the city. With her slight Southern twang, Moore is clearly not “from around here.” However, her story of becoming mayor and presiding over its official proceedings for four years pro-vides valuable insight on what the community is in need of.

A native of the Dallas area of Texas, Marianne Moore received her MBA in informa-tion systems from Southern Methodist University. She worked for many years in data communications, leading a team of thirty-two engineers as they provided hardware and software support to compa-nies across the country. When the company offered her the chance for early retirement at no penalty, she leapt at the op-portunity.

A short while later, Moore set the goal of visiting all fifty states. While in Boston, she decided to make the trip up to Maine, and she proceeded to Bar Harbor. “I fell in love with the combination of the moun-tains and the ocean,” Moore recalls. She visited a few more times before deciding to rent a home in Red Beach. While the scenery was a breathtaking and refreshing reward in itself, she missed being involved in the local community. She took a position as an instructor at Washington County Commu-nity College teaching computer programming and design.

It was at WCCC that Moore found the path she was looking for. Joyce Maker, then a part of the college’s administration,

gave Moore steady encourage-ment to run for city council. Despite Moore’s doubts—“I didn’t even think I knew twenty-five people at the time,” she jokes—she received the required signatures and soon found herself serving in public office.

Moore served on the city council for the next nine years. During her time as councilor, she witnessed various styles of leadership including ones that were more combative or less progressive than she felt the city needed to continue its growth. She opted to run for mayor herself, determined to bring cooperation back into focus while choosing to view the city as more of a business rather than a tool to promote a personal agenda.

The one year she wasn’t part of the city council as a result of losing a mayoral election to Vinton Cassidy, Moore felt “out of touch with the town.” That’s one reason she recognizes that communication is so important between the city’s administra-tion and its residents. She said that live broadcasts of the city meetings used to be offered by WQDY, but a lack of personnel prohibited it from continu-ing. The city itself has looked into the possibility of doing broadcasts, but no plan has yet come to fruition. “It would be so valuable, especially for our elderly,” she said.

While serving as mayor, Moore said that many of the challenges have remained a constant. “Trying to provide services while holding taxes at the same rate is still a huge challenge,” Moore said. “We need to bring in more busi-nesses.” One tool that Moore believes will help in facilitat-ing economic growth is the development of the city’s TIF districts, now underway by Eaton Peabody. “I’m very op-timistic about that.”

Moore sees the partnership between Baileyville and Calais as another boon. “It’s a win-win when you partner with your neighbors,” she said. “One idea behind it is that we could build a ‘spec building’,” Moore explained. A “spec” or “speculative” building is one that is built to the standards common to specific industries

for uses as an office building or related purposes. Cities com-monly build spec buildings using economic development funds and then proceed to sell them to interested businesses. Moore said that one potential that the ECDC is pushing for is a hotel chain at the end of Route 9 on land now owned by Baileyville.

While the city is looking to build up properties in some ways, including the newly-acquired former Visitor’s Infor-mation Center, it is also faced with the removal of several that pose a threat to public safety. “We do have a lot of buildings that need to come down, and it’s costly to do it,” Moore said. “It still needs to happen. It will make the town look better and more desirable for businesses to move into.”

The restoration of two facets of the city’s fiscal management plan are key to its successful future, Moore stated. One is the city’s paving plan, which allocates funds for paving streets. Last year was the first in a while that the city was finally able to put additional funds to-ward paving, but Moore notes the plan hasn’t been updated since 2006. Another critical component is the Capital Im-provements Plan, which was

used to cover a deficit in the school budget. “It needs to be restored,” she said. “The exist-ing council is very supportive, but finding the money without raising taxes remains the chal-lenge.”

Moore spoke briefly on other issues the community is faced with. She said that the police department is “working re-ally hard on the small staff they have” to fight the drug problem, and commended the department’s collaboration with Baileyville and the Border Patrol.

Regarding the loss of hous-ing in the area for the elderly and disabled, Moore said that assisted living units should be brought to the front and center. “They would help keep our community together.” Prob-lems such as those faced by the residents of the St. Croix Apart-ments are more difficult to tackle. “We did everything we could as a city short of taking it over,” she said of the situation, which will see the displacement of 26 residents.

Being the Mayor of Calais has been a great learning expe-rience for Moore. “I’ve learned a lot about local government,” she said, touching upon the nuances of revenue sharing, fighting for and against bills,

and maintaining the budget. “I didn’t realize how complex it could be, even as a councilor.” Moore has decided to run for a position in the Maine State House of Representatives uti-lizing her compounding politi-cal expertise.

Moore concluded by adding that she hoped that other wom-en would be inspired to run for public office. “If a young girl or woman wanted to go into poli-tics, I would highly encourage her to do so. You can point out things that aren’t right or not good all you want, but if you don’t get involved, it’s wasted.” Acknowledging that politics is primarily dominated by males at the present time, Moore said that the system would benefit from having more females. “Women are multi-taskers. We bring a different perspective.”

The mayoral elections for Calais will be held in Novem-ber. Future terms will be three years in accordance with an amendment proposed by Mayor Moore. Prospective candidates will need to have their papers completed by September.

Running for 3rd Selectman in Robbinston

Running for 3rd Selectman in Robbinston

Robbinston School Board Candidate

Robbinston School Board Candidate

Hi I'm Kevin Murray. I am a lifelong resident of Robbinston, current 3rd selectman for the town. I'm an active member of the Robbinston Volunter Fire Department, President of the ATV Club and a past member of the Robbinston Planning Board. I am running for 3rd selectman again because I care about my town and I want to continue making a difference in the town of Robbinston. I believe in putting the difficult decisions our town faces out to the residents of the town and let them decide on what they want. I have no personal agenda and I do not make decisions purely on emotion and without facts. I feel as though myself and the other selectmen have done a great job over the years. I do my best to represent the towns people and try to make them as happy as I can, but as everybody knows, you can not make everybody happy. I'm not going to make any promise on services the town will provide, I will only make a promise on doing the best I can do for the town of Robbinston and it's residents.

I understand people are upset about the school. I do recognize that we as a town voted twice, with the same result, and made a difficult decision to close our school and tuition our children out to surrounding towns. This was a decision that I do not believe anyone in town took lightly. I also recognize that some are still struggling with that decision and that is expected but I do not believe in the "make them pay attitude" that is out there. How will our community move forward and heal with this mindset? We need to work together for the future of Robbinston. Thank you for your time and I would appreciate your vote on the 28th.

I have put forth my name, Leah McLean, as a candidate for School Board. My husband Jeff and I moved to Robbinston in 2009 and we both love being residents and taxpayers of this wonderful town. I believe I am an excellent choice for school board for many reasons. I am a mother of four and grandmother of four. I have been involved in edu-cation for the past twenty plus years as a parent, educator and past school board member. As I work in a school which receives students from seven dif-ferent sending communities, I truly understand the importance of school choice and support this value 100 percent. I personally value the importance of having the freedom to be involved in the most basic and deeply important decisions in our children’s future with their education. As a taxpayer, I also un-derstand the importance of sound budget decisions, but recognize the role of school board member is to support and make decisions which are in the interest of our children and families in our community and to advocate for the BEST educational opportunities available for them. I believe when one is voted by the community to be a School Board member it is a moral and ethical decision to listen and advocate for those we represent, the children and families. In choosing to vote for me, Leah McLean, you will

be voting for school choice and also a strong advocate for the best educational opportuni-ties available for Robbinston students. I will also recognize my role in our community government and will do my best to always be honest and ethical in my representation.

Better Control of Opioids - Sort Of

By Amy Jeanroy

The recent compromise on a bill created to reduce the length of prescriptions and dosage of opioids is part of the ongoing crisis in Maine. The rampant epidemic that seems to be growing out of control, I daresay, IS out of control, and it’s not going to go away with a gentle nudge.

“We know of no other medi-cation routinely used for a nonfatal condition that kills patients so frequently,” CDC Director Tom Frieden and Debra Houry, director of the agency's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, wrote in the New England Jour-nal of Medicine.

After reading that the LeP-age administration agreed to lengthen the time for prescrip-tions to seven days for acute pain and 30 for chronic pain, because in part, rural residents have to travel long distances to pick up their prescriptions, is to me, a loophole that takes the teeth out of the bill. We in Maine, have to stop looking for excuses for why we can’t make hard decisions and instead prove that we are serious about controlling the drug epidemic in our state.

The bill, if approved, would go into law in 2017, giving current patients a chance to taper down to the less than the daily 100 morphine mil-ligram limit. We all know how often that works out. Hoping a drug addict stops using drugs certainly doesn’t save many of them. I’m not sure how that is helping the overall crisis we find ourselves in.

It would be interesting to see if there are any repercussions for doctors who are prescribing opioids as often as they are. What does “medically neces-sary” actually mean? Asking a doctor if they only prescribe opioids to patients when it is medically necessary seems to be a leading question, doesn’t it?

Prescribing an addictive sub-stance to a high school student for a pulled muscle is the real crime here. Perhaps some re-training in the use of Tylenol or Advil might help hundreds of young Mainers not to get on the opioid train to begin with.

Unfortunately, the big stop-ping block in the new regula-tion would be waiting for the insurance company to give prior authorization before re-imbursing for additional pre-scriptions. There is also hope

with the prescription monitor-ing program. According to an article in the Portland Press Herald, it would make Maine one of the strictest states in the country for prescribing practices.

Look, I don’t need a lesson about the complexity of ad-diction. My youngest brother Colin committed suicide after years of drug abuse. He was an addict of the highest order. My parents were completely in denial about the situation, and were spectacularly adept at making excuses for him. It was

a very dark time in our family’s history. I can’t help but wonder if a real law, an actual law that put very strict controls on this very dangerous and addictive substance would have helped him. I will never know, but what I do know is this: control-ling the number of new addicts is just as important as getting help for the old ones.

Better than nothing? Of course it is. Good enough? Time will tell.

(What do you think? Email editorcalais@gmail.com with your comments.)

To The Editor: On Tuesday, March 22, there

will be a hearing concerning H.R.711 before the U.S.House of Representatives Subcommit-tee on Social Security. H.R.711 is known as the Equal Treat-ment of Public Servants Act and reforms the Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). This hearing is the first on the issue in more than eight years and is a significant step toward action.

Congressman Kevin Bra-dy (R-TX) and Congressman Richard Neal (D-MA) are the co-sponsors. The Mass Re-tirees Association, the Texas

Retired Teacher's Association, AARP and other groups will provide testimony. This is a major step in the process of repealing or reforming WEP, which has been unfairly im-pacting retirees in Maine and 13 other states for 30 years.

If all goes as it should, H.R. 711 will be brought to the House of Representatives floor for a vote. Then it would go on to the U.S. Senate and then to President Obama to be signed into law. This will take a while, but the goal is to get all this done in 2016 and the law enacted in 2017. Retirees cur-rently affected by the WEP, like

myself, will see their benefits recalculated in 2017. Amounts of increase will vary between retirees, depending on num-ber of years paid into Social Security.

There is also talk of also addressing the Government Pension Offset (GPO) which affects spousal survivors of those receiving any Social Se-curity benefits. This unfairly impacts women more than men. President Obama filed legislation reforming both the WEP and GPO within his 2017 federal budget proposal.

Contact Representatives Pin-gree and Poloquin and Senators

Collins and King and urge them to support repealing or reforming WEP and GPO. I have been writing them and AARP and other organizations for over five years and can af-firm the individual can make a difference. "We the people" can be heard and initiate action if we keep working on this! More publicity in newspapers and magazines should be done about how unfair and harmful WEP and GPO is to people too. It is so sad that many people know nothing about them.

To The Editor:Were have they all gone?I have been a loyal member

Knights of Pythias Anchor Lodge No.41 for some time now and I know there are other members here in town and sur-rounding towns that belong to the same lodge. This not a let-ter to beg others to attend our meeting but it would be nice to see them there.

I know that once you join you don't have to attend the meet-ings just pay your membership dues and call it good. I know how the meetings were in the past and everything like that but that has all changed now. As of right now we are looking to rebuild Anchor Lodge No.41. We still have offices that need able body members to fill them.

Speaking for myself and those who attend the meetings, I do not want to see Anchor Lodge No.41 fold up and blow away. I want to see it grow again and be put back on the Pythian map once more. In order for that to happen we need members, members who will attend and lend us a hand for good of the order.

It is sad to me to see the ros-ter sheet who's a member and who is no longer welcomed into the order Knights of Py-thias, yet they do not attend yes I know work maybe trying and all that, but with our new meeting schedule set the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month we thought that we could get more to attend. I advertise the meetings through WQDY, The

Calais advertiser, The Quoddy Tides and on our Facebook page. So why don't they show up? Say, “Hey here I am, let me lend a hand or help with some-thing.” I heard the stories from some of the old timers how at every meeting our Lodge hall would be packed with members but that was then this is now.

I'm happy to call myself a Knight of Pythias of Anchor Lodge No.41 even though I'm disabled and in anyway help to see this project through. So on that closing note I want you to remember something line in your obligation you took when you became a member to help the order in any way?

Thank youRick Green

To The Editor: Next Monday, March 28th,

there is a very important vote for town officers. The outcome will determine whether your property taxes will stay the same, go down or go up. Two candidates are opposing both the 2nd and 3rd Selectmen. These opposing, candidates, along with Leah McLean who is opposing Joe Footer for School Committee, would like to raise your taxes. They are composed of members of the losing side on the vote to close

the school. They would like to raise thousands of dollars from taxes to give to former facility of the Robbinston school. The school faculty were amply compensated.

At a school committee meet-ing last year, Ms. McLean said that there should not be any limit on taxes raised for edu-cation. For home owners who are retired on fixed income, this is a terrible burden Vote for the incumbents.

To The Editor:For years I have said that

the traffic lights in the City of Calais should be re-regulated. The third bridge between U.S. and Canada has eliminated the truck traffic that once had U.S.#1 South and North tied up. With the truck traffic gone the busiest light is at the entrance of McDonalds/Johnson’s/IGA. This light cycles during the day and goes to flashing ("CAU-TION") during early evening/morning hours. The one on Main Street has much less traffic, but for some reason, it cycles 24/7/365.

Every so often the North Street light (do to maintenance) is put on flashing 24/7 and the traffic flow is much improved. Why not make both lights flashing 24/7 for a trial period to see what happens? The Main Street light could certainly be flashing at the same time as the North Street light at least dur-ing evening and early morning hours. The busiest intersection in the City is at the juncture of North and South Streets and that has flashing lights. Let's be consistent.

I contacted Maine De-partment of Transportation

(MDOT) recently asking who had control of the traffic lights in the City of Calais and my reply was the City of Calais. In fact, they stated that they would remove them if requested by the City. I am not suggesting they be removed but put on flashing to alert drivers of a congested area for a trial pe-riod. I understand that MDOT will be evaluating these lights in the near future. Trying the flashing scenario might get the best bang for the buck.

$3,550 Grant Awarded to Food for Thought

By Lura Jackson

The approximately eighty volunteers of Calais Food for Thought have been awarded with a $3,550 grant as part of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development for their efforts in coordinating free-of-charge community events focusing on nutrition and learning.

“We are delighted and appreciative of Catholic Charities for their generous support of our program,” Helen Messemer-Thomas said upon receiving the award. She noted that Calais Food for Thought would not be possible without the support of area orga-nizations such as Washington County Community College, the Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry, and the St. Croix Regional Technical Center. She also commended the participa-tion of the resourceful volunteers that help to organize the events along with the assistance of local churches.

The first Calais Food for Thought event was a tremendous suc-cess with eighty registrants who signed up to attend a one-night workshop at WCCC. The workshop included a free meal prepared by the students of SCRTC and the opportunity for children to participate in their own meal-making experience. Future events are planned in two month intervals, with guest speakers from the UMaine Cooperative Extension, as well as the Community Caring Collaborative scheduled to give brief, but informative, presentations.

All families with children up to age 12 are invited to attend the events, which are offered at no cost. To sign up, send an e-mail to calaisfoodforthought@yahoo.com.

Presenting a check to Helen Messemer-Thomas of Calais Food for Thought is Father Kevin Martin (left) of the Immaculate Conception Church and Deacon Al Burleigh of Catholic Charities. The group received a grant for $3,550 from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. (Submitted photo.)

Passion Journey Brightens Streets of Calais

A colorful procession of men, women and children flowed down Main Street on Sunday, followed by a respectfully quiet crowd of observers that steadily grew as the journey progressed. The center of attention was a young man covered in a radiant white gown spotted with red: Pastor Nathaniel Moore, play-ing the role of Jesus as he was led to his crucifixion. Moore bore a stoutly made cross on his shoulders, aided at times by Father Kevin Martin in the role of Simon of Cyrene. The event marked Calais’ second ecumeni-

cal undertaking of a highly pub-lic reenactment of the Stages of the Cross.

Sister Aline of the Immaculate Conception Church was the pri-mary coordinator of the event, which she heralded as a success. “People prayed, and that’s what matters. We achieved our goal as soon as that happened,” she said. Four churches participated in the reenactment itself, which Sister Aline said was another major purpose of the occasion. “May they all be one that the world will believe that you sent me,” she said, referencing a passage from the New Testament. Sister Aline hopes to hold the event again next year.

Approximately two dozen actors played the roles of Ro-man guards, Jewish priests, and spectators, among others. Every

actor was adorned in bright costumes complete with acces-sories including jewelry, spears, shields, and of course, a crown of thorns. Tom MacDonald of the Knights of Columbus provided the narrative at each stage.

At the fourth station, Jesus is said to have been met by his mother, Mary, who weeps for him. “Wars come and go, and come again,” MacDonald said when the procession stopped at the appointed spot. “Oppressors come and go, and come again. We must find hope – the sor-rowful women of the world are our guides.”

Pastor Moore, who had never played the role of Jesus during the Passion Journey before, said that one part of the experience was a true surprise: “I didn’t expect the cross to be so heavy.” Moore said that reflecting on the unhealthy condition of Jesus at the time added to his apprecia-tion of the endurance required to undergo such a task.

The reenactment began at 255 Main Street before turning up Calais Avenue and paus-ing at the First Congregational Church for the crucifixion. Pastor Moore was then carried to the Immaculate Conception Church where he was “buried” and then brought back to life to meet the awaiting crowd. Refreshments and warm drinks prepared by various parishioners and donors were promptly served for all participants and observers. Members of the Calais Police Department marked the route in advance and ensured the safety of all procession participants.

AA Dental Offers All Aspects of Family Dentistry

Published with permission from the St. Croix Courier

By Wilma Blokhuis

A bright pink chair catches the eye at one end of the new modern, spacious open con-cept dental office of Dr. Marie

McKnight and her daughter Dr. Maggie McKnight-Whit-ford.

At the other end is a purple dental chair, in the middle a green one. Each of the other three operators is a different color. These colorful chairs will

appeal to their younger and young-at-heart patients, and may sooth the jitters of chil-dren when they find out they can sit in a pink, green, or pur-ple chair. These colors lift the spirit.

The chairs highlight the clean bright decor of this high tech dental clinic, a 2,500 square foot building construct-ed by Disher Homes Ltd., at 26 Eddie Lane in St. Stephen. Follow Rte. 170, about a quar-ter mile from the traffic circle to Disher Lane between Mof-fitt Dodge and Keith’s Build-ing Supplies and drive past the Boys and Girls Club on Eddie Lane.

The spacious reception and

waiting area is calming; it has nine comfortable burgundy chairs, a television set, maga-zines and a few toys for the children. Natural light flows into the new dental clinic through the many windows on all sides of the building.

Open since September 2012, Dr. McKnight is grateful to the response from the community.

“We’ve had a great re-sponse,” says Dr. McKnight. “We have great patients; we appreciate their business.” The new clinic means welcome re-lief from having no commute to Saint John or Fredericton for emergencies and families with young children.

“We practice all aspects of family dentistry,” she explains,

“with a special emphasis on prevention. Services include fillings, root canal therapy, dentures, extractions, crowns and bridges, and orthodon-tics.” The clinic also provides cosmetic dentistry, implants, tooth whitening, ozone treat-ments, salivary PH testing and cavitation treatments.

Dr. McKnight and Dr. McK-night-Whitford are strong pro-ponents of painless dentistry. Both are dental surgeons, graduates from Dalhousie University in Halifax.

New patients are welcome, especially children, as well as emergencies. The clinic can be reached Monday to Thursday at 506-466-1115.

Spring Means Needle Cleanup

By Amy Jeanroy

With the arrival of spring weather, the children are able to get out and play in our many parks around Calais. It’s time to play, but first it’s time for needle cleanup.

After the snow melt, the winter’s worth of debris be-comes visible, and that includes dirty needles and other unsanitary items. It’s recommended that you call the police department to retrieve any hypodermic needles that you find (454-2751) and keep your eye on the Neighborhood Watch - Calais Area list on Facebook. Last year, some of the members got together and cleaned up over six garbage bags of debris from one park alone.

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t be having a conversation about cleaning up hypodermic needles and teaching our children not to touch them, but we live in this world and communication is the key to protecting our kids.

“Parents Who Host Lose the Most” Coming to Woodland High School Library On April 6, “Parents Who

Host Lose the Most” will en-gage parents, caregivers, and community members in a can-did discussion about the health and safety risks, as well as legal consequences, of serving alcohol to teens. This commu-nity event will be held in the Woodland High School library from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. There is no charge to attend, and light refreshments will be served.

“Parents Who Host” is a

nationwide public awareness initiative to help parents, care-givers, and community mem-bers understand that underage drinking is hazardous to the health and safety of our chil-dren, and that adults play a ma-jor role in helping youth in their communities to make healthy choices. The evening’s discus-sion will focus on the very real health and safety risks, as well as potential legal conse-quences, of serving alcohol at

teen parties or events. Parents, caregivers, and communities as a whole will be encouraged to send a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is unhealthy, unsafe, and unac-ceptable. Attendees will learn about resources available in their communities, the many ways that individuals, organi-zations, and communities can be involved, and how they can implement the “Parents Who Host” program and other

prevention initiatives in their communities.

“Parents Who Host Lose the Most” will be presented by Healthy Acadia, a commu-nity health organization serving Washington and Hancock coun-ties. The event is sponsored by the Woodland Recreation De-partment and Woodland High School, and is the final of three sessions of Healthy Acadia’s “Dimensions of Prevention” substance misuse prevention

discussion series to be offered at the Woodland High School library this spring.

For more information about “Parents Who Host Lose the Most” or the “Dimensions of Prevention” series, or to host one or more sessions in your community, contact Jenny Robish at (207) 255-3741 or jenny@healthyacadia.org.

On Friday, March 18th, Woodland Elementary School had the honor of a “Buddy Bench” being donated to the playground in memory of Peter Mercier. The idea of the bench was initiated by Judy Murray; however, many came together to help provide this special gift to the school.

The individuals and businesses who made the gift possible included Woodland High School’s Class of 1964, Judy Murray and daughter Lori Croman, Gwen Diffin-Clark, the Mercier family, Baileyville and Princeton Foodmarts, Recreation Director Mike Boies, and Johnson’s True Value. Also to help raise the necessary funds, Ryan Lincoln organized the softball teams that played in the August, 2015 Mercier Softball Tournament, with Wayne O’Neill being the expert craftsman who built the bench.

The Buddy Bench was originally created for a very special purpose. It was an idea created by a little boy named Christian who lives in Pennsylvania who wanted to have a bench on the playground desig-nated for students who are not sure with whom to play, to talk or just to assess a situation before joining a group. He called it the Buddy Bench, a place to meet and play with new friends or old ones. Now the idea has spread over many schools the United States.

Maine Maritime Academy Celebrates 75 Years of Career-oriented Education and Hands-on Training

Maine Maritime Academy was founded by Act of the 90th Maine Legislature on March 21, 1941. To kick off their 75th anniversary year, the Academy will celebrate Founders Day at the State House in Augusta on Wednesday, March 23, 2016.

A legislative sentiment will be presented in the Senate on Wednesday to commemorate

the college’s unique role in the State’s higher education part-nership. Founded originally as a nautical training institute to contribute skilled mariners for the war effort in the 1940s, MMA is now a career-oriented college, educating students in specialized programs in engineering, management, science, and transportation.

The college is one of only six State Maritime Academies in the United States.

A press conference will be held at 1:30 p.m. in the Hall of Flags to acknowledge the Academy’s history and to celebrate some of the many people who were instrumental in its foundation and success. MMA’s celebratory theme is ‘We Are Mariners,’ highlight-ing the significant contribu-tions of every man and woman who has helped to build the Academy into the world-class institution it is today. The col-lege community will continue to celebrate the 75th anni-versary throughout the year. An all-community gathering is planned for Homecoming weekend in Castine, Septem-ber 23-25, 2016.

Maine Maritime Academy is a co-educational, public college on the coast of Maine offering 18 degree programs in engineering, management, sci-ence, and transportation. The college serves approximately 950 undergraduate and gradu-ate students in career-oriented programs of study. Year over year, the job placement rate for MMA graduates is in excess of 90 percent within 90 days of graduation. In 2014 and 2015, MONEY magazine ranked Maine Maritime Academy the #1 Public College in America on their Best Colleges list. For more information, visit mainemaritime.edu.

CHS Academic Decathlon

On February 27th, at Scar-borough High School, ap-proximately 150 students from none high schools competed in the State Academic Decathlon Competition. Participating high schools included Ban-gor High School, Calais High School, Cheverus High School, Hall Dale High School, Mon-mouth Academy, Oak Hill High School, Portland High School, Scarborough High School, and Woodland High School.

The Academic Decathlon, the premiere national scholastic

competition for high school students, was created to provide opportunities for students to experience the challenges of rigorous team and individual academic competition. Each student competes in ten events which are Economics, Es-say, Art, Interview, Language and Literature, Math, Music, Science, Social Science and Speech.

The competition format of the Super Quiz is in addition to that of the other subject areas. While students take one

written test in each of the other subjects, they will take an oral test in the Super Quiz subject. The oral relay portion of the Super Quiz is the only part of the actual testing that is open to the public, and it is inevitably one of the most memorable and exciting parts of the Aca-demic Decathlon competition. The academic program strives to foster a greater respect for knowledge, to promote whole-some inter-school academic competition, and to further develop student communica-

tion skills. A unique aspect of the Aca-

demic Decathlon is that it is designed to include students from all academic abilities and achievement levels. Each nine-member team consists of three “A” (Honor division), three “B” (Scholastic division), and three “C or below” (Varsity division) students. Each team member competes in all ten events against other students in their individual divisions. However, team scores are calculated using the top two individual scores from each division to arrive at an overall team score.

Gold, silver, and bronze med-als are awarded for individual events and total scores. Overall individual winners are recog-nized as are champion teams. The broad base of awards allows for major recognition of academic accomplishment. Teams advance through local, regional and state levels of

competition. The state champi-ons compete at the national fi-nals. This year’s national event will take place April 28th–30th in Anchorage, Alaska.

A new theme of study is es-tablished every year with topics that are relevant, current and challenging. This year’s theme is India. The theme for 16/17 is World War II. Students have composed an essay based on a prompt whose central theme incorporates information relat-ing to the current curriculum. Students will also perform a prepared speech and impromp-tu speech and participate in an interview before a panel of community volunteer judges.

The Academic Decathlon em-phasizes the personal and aca-demic growth of each student who, by meeting the challenges with honesty and integrity, can reap the rewards of greater self-knowledge and self-confidence for the future.

Perloff Family Foundation Announces Delivery of 50th 3-D Printer

A selection of 3-D-printed boats crafted by students at the Edmunds School in Dennysville, Maine. Students used a 3-D printer to create boats and masts they modeled on their laptops with web-based design software. Sails were made from card stock, and small weights were used to trim the boats. Students raced their boats over a two-meter course and computed velocity before and after making adjustments. (Submitted photo).

The Perloff Family Foundation, in partnership with the Maine Com-munity Foundation, is pleased to an-nounce delivery of its 50th 3-D print-er for use by schools and nonprofits in Maine. Located in classrooms and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) labs, these resources are now readily accessible to students and teachers in large and small schools across the state.

Regarding this milestone, David Perloff notes: “Maine was an innova-

tor in providing classroom comput-ing via its Maine Learning Technol-ogy Initiative. Our strategy has been to build on this initiative, using 3-D printing and state-of-the-art coding to encourage and enable more students to experience and benefit from the engineering design-build process."

According to Science Teacher David Winski of Edmunds School in Dennysville, Maine, having a 3-D printer on site for use by students has given them the opportunity “to con-

nect science, math and engineering in new and creative ways.” Winski adds, “This resource, along with the classroom robot-ics provided by the Perloff Foundation, offers our students state-of-the-art learn-ing opportunities in our small Downeast Maine school.”

In addition to K-12 programs, 3-D printers have been provided to the Bangor-based Challenger Learning Center and Maine Robotics, a nonprofit that serves the growing needs of Maine’s educational-robotics community.

This is David and Sandy Perloff’s 17th year of grantmaking in Maine. Their goal is

to provide funding that encourages teach-ers who are committed to planning, taking risks, and achieving timely results. They engage with teachers and students through school visits to provide support and en-couragement for projects they fund.

Passamaquoddy Food Pantry Garden Receives Funds For Expansion

The Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township has been awarded a $19,550 general support grant from the Broad Reach Fund of the Maine Community Foundation to expand food pantry gardens. The garden expansion is to in-clude a children’s garden which will be the start of an edible landscape that will include fruit trees, berry bushes, and herb gardens.

In addition to outdoor gardens, a high-tunnel hoop house will be purchased to significantly lengthen the short growing season in Washington County. The hoop house will provide a place for community members to come together, learn, and grow food that will help feed themselves and their neighbors. For youth programs in particular the garden expansion project will teach, encourage, and model community gardening.

“I am in full support of food sovereignty and anything that improves the health and well-being of tribal members,” said Tribal Chief Bill Nicholas. “I look forward to this year’s gardens.”

Food pantry garden efforts are coordinated by Janet Lola of Indian Town-ship. Last summer, Lola collaborated with Maine-Wabanaki REACH, a statewide organization that promotes wellness and positive changes in Wa-banaki communities. Together they were able to identify ways to increase the production and availability of fresh, locally-grown foods at Indian Township. “It’s a true testament of what can get accomplished when we work together,” said Maria Girouard, coordinator of health, wellness, and self-determination for Maine-Wabanaki REACH.

RICHARD B. FARRARCalais – Richard Burton

Farrar, 80, passed away unex-pectedly on March 17, 2016 at Calais Regional Hospital with his sons by his side. “Dick,” as everyone knew him, was born in St. Stephen, New Brunswick on March 19, 1935, son of Ralph Farrar and Ruth (Way-cott) Farrar. He resided and attended school in Calais. On January 12, 1956, he married Jane Anne (Brown) Farrar. They loved the Calais area, where they made their home and raised their three children, Stephen, Cathy and David. He was employed for 30 years at Georgia Pacific in Baileyville as a lab analyst, and retired in May of 1997.

He was predeceased by his loving wife of 50 years, Jane; by one sister, Helen Howard; and by one brother, Harold Farrar. Surviving are his chil-dren, Stephen Farrar and wife Paula of Charlotte, Cathy Far-rar and husband Mohammad Ehsasi of Berlin, Germany, and his son David Farrar of Cal-ais; his four grandsons, Jamie Farrar and wife Lea Farrar of Calais, Nathan Farrar and wife Jennifer of Charlotte, and Arman Ehsasi and Kean Eh-sasi, both of Berlin, Germany; his four great-grandchildren, Sydney, Chloe and Gaige Far-rar of Charlotte, and Alyssa Farrar of Calais; his brother Bob Farrar and wife Jeannette of Hermon; and his nephews.

Richard was a member of the Calais United Methodist Church, Calais Lions Club, St. Croix Country Club, and St. Croix Bowling Club where he enjoyed competitive bowling in the annual tournaments. He maintained an active life-style throughout his retirement years. He was a very social and active man who could be found serving food at the church suppers or delivering his special recipes to family and friends, all indicative of his giving and kind nature.

A graveside service will be held at the Calais Cemetery on Thursday, March 24, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. A reception will im-mediately follow at the Calais United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family re-quests that donations be made in memory of Dick Farrar to the Calais United Methodist Church, 849 Main St., Calais, ME 04619. Arrangements by Mays Funeral Home, Calais & Eastport. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.maysfuneralhome.com.

and roller skating, dancing, swimming, and camping. She was proud of her US citizenship, Canadian childhood, and English ancestry.

In 1945, she married Leroy Reardon, a WWII serviceman from Calais, Maine. Dot and Roy settled in Yarmouth, Maine, in 1953. She was very involved in the First Parish Congrega-tional Church and also served as a Cub Scout den mother, Girl Scout troop leader, Music Booster, and was a member of the Fortnightly Club. Dot was instrumental in starting Yarmouth’s recycling program, and she sewed every Boy Scout neckerchief in Yarmouth for 25 years. In addition to sewing, she was a knitter, a button collector, and an accomplished rug hooker, creating personalized rugs for each member of her family.

Whether she was crafting, tackling a major renovation project, or attending to a stray child or lost puppy, Dot was fearless in taking on new projects. Her eagerness to explore new things lasted to the end of her life. Dot’s most joyous times were spent with her family and friends at her cottage on Cathance Lake in Downeast Maine. To celebrate her 90th birthday, Dot went “tubing” across the lake behind her son’s motorboat, played cards with her great-grandchildren, and ate chocolate raspberry cream pie.

Dot is survived by two children, Pat Reardon and his wife Colleen (New Gloucester, ME), and Jan Reardon and her husband Arthur Sloan (Eliot, ME). Also surviving are her granddaughter Badieh Bryant and her husband Rich (Duvall, WA), and their children, Autumn and Violet. Dot enjoyed an extended family that includes three step granddaughters, Chris-tine Willard (Midlothian, VA), Cate Nadeau and her husband Jackson (Auburn, ME), and Caroline Willard (Auburn, ME) and three step great-grandchildren, Chloe, Avery and Olivia. Dot’s surviving siblings are Mary Robinson (Port Angeles, WA), Raymond and Jean Denyer (Winter Park, FL and Vienna, ME), Clarence and Gladys Denyer (Vernon, CT) and William and Geraldine Denyer (Biddeford, ME).

Dorothy is predeceased by her husband, Leroy Reardon, and one sister, Freda Denyer.

Visiting hours were held on Saturday, March 19 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Wilson Funeral Home in Gray, Maine, and were immediately followed by a celebration of Dorothy’s life. A committal service was held at the Maine Veterans’ Cemetery in Augusta, Maine on Monday, March 21. Donations can be made to the Salvation Army, or to a charity of your choice.

The Spring of Hope and LifeArnet Mathers, pastor Seventh-day Adventist Church

may seem, by accepting the death of humanity in the per-son of His own humanity, He robbed death of its power (He-brews 2:14-15). In the triumph of a completed sacrifice (John 19:30), Jesus rested in His fin-ished work as our Substitute (Luke 23:50-24:1). On Sunday morning, the glory shone forth as Jesus rose again to new life and went right back to work as Intercessor for you and me, applying the benefits of that act of grace (Matthew 28:1-8; Hebrews 7:25).

How do we benefit from that grace? There are only two prerequisites to God’s saving grace:

ONE: “God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He has loved us” (Ephesians 2:4, PAV). He can’t help but be merciful, be-cause of His love for us.

TWO: “We being dead in trespasses” (Ephesians 2:5, PAV). “Nothing in my hand I bring.”

With those two prerequisites in place, God who raised the Christ “from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places” (Ephe-sians 1:20, NKJV), “made us alive together with the Christ, (by grace you are have-been-

saved-ones)” (Ephesians 2:5, PAV).

When the living Word of God is mixed with faith (Hebrews 4:2), there is no limit to what God can and will accomplish in our lives (Ephesians 2:8-10; 1:19-23). It is “to the praise of the glory of His grace” (Ephe-sians 1:6) when that grace results in the transformation of His people, His church, demonstrating before “the principalities and powers in heavenly places” “the manifold wisdom of God” (Ephesians 3:10; compare Daniel 7:9-10, 21-22).

Winter is passing. The green of new grass, and Spring foliage on the trees is almost in sight. So also the chilling clouds of struggle and discouragement will certainly give way as we are raised with Christ to walk in the newness of His life (see Romans 6:4ff; compare Gala-tians 2:20-21).

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20–21, NKJV).

Today, on the first day of Spring, as I am writing, the earth is once again hidden under a fresh blanket of white, thanks to the March 21st nor’easter blowing across Downeast Maine. By this time of year, even the Winter sports enthu-siasts are looking forward to warmer days and the greening of the earth. We look forward to new life, after the death-like pall of Winter.

There may be moments in our own lives, when we won-der if we will ever get past the “winter” of our own struggles and difficulties. When will the sun ever break through the clouds that hang overhead, and warm our world again?

The good news is, no matter which way the weather blows, or how the seasons turn, the Fa-ther of all, the Giver of “every good and every perfect gift,”

never wanders away (James 1:17). He is “a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

Nor is “the Father of Lights” daunted by the darkness He finds, even in the hearts of His own people. The problem isn’t just “the worldlings.” All hu-manity is, with Adam and Eve, hiding in the trees at the sound of God’s approach (Genesis 3:8). “There is none who seeks after God” (Romans 3:11). But God has a remedy. The “Father of Lights” can call forth the light to shine in the midst of our darkness.

“For it is the God who com-manded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6, NKJV).

At Calvary, Jesus met death face to face. As unlikely as it

Before You Plant One Seed

By Amy Jeanroy

It’s spring! Can we start the garden yet? There are plenty of things you can do in the garden before planting a single seed, and this year’s light snowfall means you can get started even earlier.

1.) The first thing to do in the spring garden is take a look at the mess that winter left behind. I don’t care how meticulously we cleaned up before the first

snow, weird things show up when the last of the snow melts. Now is the time to remove the trash, broken branches, knocked over fences and other things that mysteriously hap-pened right before your eyes all winter. Leave the mulch in place for now, and replace any that has blown away or been moved due to winter cleanout. It’s not quite time to warm that

soil by removing the mulch. 2.) Get out your garden note-

book ( you have one, right?) and decide what you have planted, and what needs to be purchased. If you are like me, you have been making long lists all winter. Some of the mail order plants and seeds may not last long, so don’t delay.

3.) Plan another garden bed, or expansion. You can admit what every gardener already knows: a gardener’s dream gar-den is never finished. Maybe you could add a little spot for the butterflies and bees this year. Or how about planting some berries? Now is the time to get things ordered and laid out on paper.

4.) Create a garden calendar.

It’s a waste of good garden soil if you leave the ground bare after harvest. It’s a great way to get the most out of your garden space, and keeps you focused on what you can grow and will use, instead of impulse buy-ing. A simple yearly calendar, with the weeks marked off and labeled, can remind you what has to be planted and what you already planted. Organization seems like overkill, but you save money and aggravation if you take a few minutes to get yourself and supplies ready.

It’s not as glamorous as plant-ing up trays of seeds all after-noon, but pre-garden season is even more important than garden season, and now is the time to get started.

Out and About By Dorothy Johnson

Hold the presses. Before I begin this “Out and About” column, I want to correct a mistake. The Dennys River Farmers’ Market in Dennysville will not be starting until after Memorial Day. I must have dreamed that whole paragraph. I apologize for any stress and inconvenience I caused.

The weather for this week has been sunny, but colder than what we are used to. The forecasters are predict-ing a storm bringing 6 to 12 inches of snow to Washington County. This prediction has changed every day for the last four days. We may get a dust-ing or twenty inches of snow. I hope we only get a dusting because I have to be in Bangor Tuesday and my driver does not go in the snow.

Janice Ferry called to give me an up-date on Bud Ferry, former principal of Woodland Elementary School. He has a condition that made his brain swell and he lost some mobility, speech control and the ability to swallow. He is quite unhappy with his placement in rehab and wants to come home. Bud is a big man and Janice will need some help in caring for him. We are all hop-ing that she can find that help.

When I was out doing my daily laps, I was surprised to see Kenny Seeley out in the hospital uniform of a johnny. Kenny was smart enough to bring his jeans and he was wearing them also. Unlike the rest of us, he looked good in uniform. Kenny and Wilma bring me some brook trout every spring as I hope he gets out of here in time to go fishing.

Town meetings are coming up on March 28. Most towns will be voting on town officials. Some residents of Robbinston want a change in their governing officials and have posted signs promoting that change. Many of the signs have disappeared and one family supporting a change has had their trash cans destroyed. Whoever is doing the damage has never heard of freedom of speech and does not under-stand that we still live in a democracy, even in Robbinston!

On the ballot, Jesse Demmons is running against incumbent Jon Stanhope and Danny Merrifield is running against incumbent Kevin Murray for selectmen’s seats. For the school board, Leah McLean is running against incumbent Joe Footer.

The members of the People’s United

Methodist Church are working on the upcoming church supper on April 7th and the annual Spring Fling on April 23rd. More details will follow.

The benefit dinner for Kathy and Herbie Bishop was a huge success. The Perry Elementary School seatings were sold out. Some hungry diners had to stand in line for a seat.

The fishing season has opened early as the ice is out almost everywhere - Meddybemps Lake, Pen-namaquan, Round Pond and Boyden Lake.

The Lincoln Memorial Library in Dennysville has added these new books: The Woman Who Walked Into Doors by Roddy Doyle (the life of a battered housekeeper with some humor added); Girl is Missing by Tess Geritsen; Mysteries at Risk b Stella Remington (Victorian detective stories by many famous authors collected by Michael Cox); and the Cambridge Thorn by Tony Cape.

The GEECA sponsored Good Friday Pilgrimage will begin Friday, March 25th at the Congregational Church at 3 pm continuing to Eastport and the Blakely Congregational Church at 3:30 pm and ending at Christ Church at 4 pm.

Special hellos are going out this week to El-win Daley, Rhoda Lynn Leavitt and her mother who does not want her name in the paper, Diane McAlpine, Bud Ferry, Madeline Perkins, Bob and Ginny Fifield, Anita Lydic, Patty Metta and Susan White.

Residents of Woodland and the surrounding communities are planning for a celebration of Paul Phelan’s life and good works. I have not heard all of the details but the date is April 16th.Contact Jeannie Neddeau for more information.

Enjoy Spring: Stay safe and have a good week.

By Dorothy Johnson

Meanwhile back at the farm, winter is sliding into spring. Last year my driveway had several swamps and pools, all caused by melting snow. This year the driveway is much better and has only two swamps. Of course, the weather has been warmer and we have had our share of rain. Two weeks ago I was let out for a few hours for good behavior. I called for a driver who took me to the farm. While leaving the farm to meet my curfew, my driver backed into one of the swamps with her front wheel drive vehicle. The front wheels were stuck in the mud. I almost had a fit. I could not push the car out even if I wanted to. I had a few suggestions.

“Give me your phone. I will call someone,” I said.

“No, I can do this,” she an-swered as the wheels continued to spin, throw wet mud and sink deeper.

“We could get the mule out and drive toward Calais. When the police stop us we could ask them to get the car out of the mud,” I suggested.

“No, I can do this,” she said.I was beginning to panic when

my driver had a good idea. I had a small pile of wood by the driveway so she took a few of the sticks and put them under the front wheels. When she tried to get out of the mud, the car pulled ahead a bit. Then she put several more pieces of fire

wood in front of her front tires, tried to get the mud off her shoes by kicking the car and climbed in. She fired up the car and away we went - off to a few more days off my sentence.

On the farm when I was a kid, the men would be still cut-ting next year’s firewood in this weather. The logs would have to stay in the woods until the ground hardened and then they would be hauled out by the hors-es. I was always a bit nervous when the horses were taken into the woods. Uncle Hum told me that he witnessed a horse walk into quick sand and the more the horse tried to get out, the more he sank into the quick sand. I always worried about walking into quick sand myself. I could just see myself thrashing around while sinking deeper and deeper. I wondered if it would be easier to drown in quick sand or to have a stroke from the claustrophobia. In the end, it probably will not matter.

When my nephew was young, we took him clamming in Perry. He had to wear his cousin’s boots and he got stuck in the clam flats. I went to rescue him and when I picked him up, he came right out of those boots. I then had a red-faced, angry kid in his bare feet and I was sinking into the clam flats. That picture of me in the quick sand came to mind and I had an anxiety attack. My mother and niece finally rescued both of us.

Thank you, readers, for all the

feedback on my stories. My goal is to bring back the memories of the “good old days” and to give everyone a laugh. Readers tell me I have accomplished these goals.

I have been hearing about how walnuts are very healthy items to add to our meals. Since I do

not have access to my old cook books, I have been looking in magazines here at my vacation resort. I have found that most magazines have recipes with ingredients that I do not have at home and cannot find in our local grocery stores. However, I found this recipe in Rachael

Ray Every Day, a magazine I found here. I believe that all of the ingredients can be found in our local stores. This recipe is for Roasted Vegetables with walnuts, basil and balsamic vinaigrette, which is a side dish or a salad.

Roasted Vegetables with Walnut, Basil and Balsamic VinaigretteIngredients:

1/2 red bell pepper, small, cut into 1-inch cubes.1/2 orange bell pepper, small, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 red onion, medium, cut into 1-inch cubes, separated4 ounces Portabella baby mushrooms, halved

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil1/4 teaspoon sea salt

3/4 cup sugar snap peas1 zucchini, small, sliced 1/4 inch thick

1 summer squash, yellow, small, sliced 1/4 inch thick2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar2 tablespoons basil, fresh snipped or 1 teaspoon dried basil adding it to

the olive oil before roasting vegetables1/2 cup California walnuts, coarsely chopped.

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.Place bell peppers, onion and mushrooms in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and

dried basil if used. Place in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure not to crowd vegetables. Cook for 10 minutes

Add snap peas, zucchini, yellow squash and garlic and stir lightly.Top with walnuts and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more or until all vegetables are

crisp-tender and walnuts are toasted.Drizzle with balsamic and toss well. Sprinkle with fresh basil, if used.

This recipe serves five. I recommend not worrying about using exact measurements for the vegetables. A little extra on the vegetables will not change this recipe

I stayed home from the Beck-ett Center all week because I had an earache and headache. After two doctor appointments I finally got an antibiotic and seem to be on the mend. So I really had a very quiet and boring week. Well, one excit-ing thing happened: I did get my camp physicals done dur-ing one of my visits, and you know what that means, sum-

mer can’t be too far away.What is the old saying that

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb? I think that this March has been kind of confused, a beautiful sunny but chilly first day of spring, and the very next day, a snow-storm. Hope that those early bird robins stayed safe and warm during it.

I hope every one has a very Happy Easter! If you have news for the column you can get it to me by e-mail at ptc-fan@hotmail.com, Facebook page, 454-2344 or dropping off a note at Randy’s Variety for me and Dad will make sure I get it. You can also leave news for me at AES. Of course you always have the option of snail mail, 1328 Airline Road, Alexander, Maine 04694.

By John Dudley & Cassie Oakes

Were you at the AES gym on March 24, 1991? We had eight inches of snow that Sun-day so some of you may have been shoveling. But quite a few community members attended a Court of Honor where Danny Sullivan became an Eagle Scout. The rank of Eagle is the highest rank in the Boy Scout hierarchy. Sev-eral local men took part in the ceremony. They were Dave Cummings, George Grant, John Harvey, Chip Howell and Dave McVicar.

David and Jan came to Rob-bingston in 1972 from Fall River, Massachusetts. Dave was a student at WCCC that year. In 1973 they moved to Alexander with their daughter Hannah and rented from Bert Varnum. On May 23, 1976 Danny was born. Hannah and Danny both attended the con-solidated school at Tyler Cor-ner and after 1987, our new school on Lanes Hill. Both were involved with School in the Woods and both went to high school in Calais.

The family became known locally in 1985 when they built a geodesic dome home at

1039 Airline Road. This was the site of the new barn, built between 1889 and 1894 by Charles E. and Alice Brown. Someone had burned down the barn and the Sullivan’s convinced Bert to sell them the lot for their home.

Most in Alexander know Dave and Jan because of their public service for the residents of our community. Jan has been on the school committee for years and has served as our Health Officer. Dave has been active in the Alexander Vol-unteer Fire Department. Both are EMTs for our local First Responder Unit.

After Danny finished high

school and one year at WCCC, he went to Southern Maine Community College in South Portland for two years. Today he is married and has a five year-old daughter. They live in Bath and he is an HVAC technician for F.W. Webb.

What happened yesterday in history; as is the story told here that happened 25-years ago. Next week we will ex-plore something that happened 200 years ago. Next week will also find John Dudley on the Tree Farm until next fall. Sometime in the future all these essays will be on line at www.mainething.com/alexan-der.

454-2625Good morning, friends and

neighbors! How is your week going? Hope you are all happy and healthy.

I have been making regular visits to Calais Regional Hos-pital to visit with my fellow “writer” Dottie Johnson. As I have told you before she has been hospitalized for an exten-

sive length of time. How does one keep up their spirits being away from home for such a long time? Our Miss Johnson is a feisty lady and keeps smiles on all faces that go to visit. As a previous school counselor, she has had an excellent chance to assist the CNA personnel from the St. Croix Regional Voca-tional Center. All the nursing students are gaining a great

insight on the future. I think the entire staff at CRH will miss Dottie when she finally is discharged. She keeps them on their days a little brighter. And, if you ask her, she will give you her version of all the nursery rhymes we learned as kids.

Sympathy is extended to the family of Richard Farrar. Dickie lost his battle against pneumonia this past week. Graveside services will be held at the Calais Cemetery on Thursday, March 24, at 2 pm.

I have lost track of the kids playing sports here in town. I am aware of the names but not their field of expertise. So with that being said, here they are: Emily and Katie Erskine; Kayli,

Emily, and Alexis Doten; Con-nor Cook; Jacob Hornbrook; and Matt Perkins. Spring sports are being practiced. Good luck to you all. Now, parents, if I have missed your child, please call me.

Billy Gibson (the one from Milltown) underwent colon surgery in Plant City, Florida last week. Because of Billy’s heart condition, this was a dangerous operation. He came through the surgery but will be patient there for some time. Get well soon, Billy, from the Second Baptist Church and all your friends in this area and in Florida.

Get well wishes and posi-tive thoughts for those going

through medical testing: Ann Brackett, Carole Smith, Jim Doten, Sonny Townes, and Rita Stewart. Hopefully you’re all feeling better.

Well, this snowy Monday morning has put a crimp in the wearing of sandals. Darn, I wanted to hide those sneakers for the rest of the spring and summer. Either I am going to stay in the house until the snow melts or the shoes will be com-ing out of the closet AGAIN. I want my toes exposed!

You can reach me through Facebook, telephone, snailmail, or email. I want to hear from you.

The first Knights of Colum-bus breakfast at the Immacu-late Parish Hall this month was well attended following Mass.

I received the very interest-ing St. Croix Historical Soci-ety Newsletter this month. I love the page on moving for-ward, looking back. A lot of action back in the earlier years, hard work, late hours, keeping the fires going for their warmth

in the winter. The most excit-ing was DeMont’s Hotel at Devil’s Head in early 1900s. I had driven down there so many times and kept thinking we need trees cleared out, picnic sites set up, a path to the beach. It is so peaceful and beautiful. A wonderful tourist attraction. I am so glad Brand Livingston is heading up a volunteer work/detail in assisting your time and material to help at Devil’s Head this spring/summer.

The ECW served supper at St. Anne’s on Friday evening. The tables were covered with cloths, baskets of rolls, dishes of cole slaw, baked beans, corn and macaroni casseroles, and several varieties of cake for dessert. There was a raffle for a lemon pie won by Angela Ramsey. It was great to see many friends, relaxed and talk-

ing.Holy Week Service at St.

Anne’s Maundy Thursday March 24th at 6:00 pm. Good Friday March 25th at noon and 6:00 pm. There will be a pot luck on Easter Sunday follow-ing the service.

The Baring Baptist Church held an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday afternoon for the children. Easter baskets were also filled with goodies. They did some paintings around crosses that were copied for them. Snacks were served, a fun time as they exited with all their goodies. There will be an Easter breakfast at 9 am before the service and the Easter Can-tata at 10:30 am.

Ken Colson and wife Edith have returned home from down south.

Evelyn Johnson is in the hos-

pital recuperating from pneu-monia. We wish her well.

The Second Baptist Church held their monthly concert on Saturday evening, entertained by Doug Hooper of Lubec. A lovely lunch followed. There was a great turnout.

Also, a Passover Supper on Thursday 24th at 5:30 pm.

Their Easter Cantata on March 27th at 6:00 pm. This is all happening at the Second Baptist Church.

Jean Windrich is back in the hospital. We are all praying for her. A lovely lady.

My aunt Shirley Quigley of Pennfield is recuperating from a heart attack. My sister-in-law Esther Clinch of St. George is still dealing with her shoulder.

Kathrine Sivret finishes up her last two months of Peace Corps Service. See you soon.

March is Youth Art Month, American Red Cross Month, Dr. Seuss’ birthday, St. Pat-rick’s Day and First Day of Spring. An exciting month.

Birthday wishes: Catherine Blake, Wendy Dean, Shelly Bodkin, Fran Walker, Dennis Gillespie, Brian Marshall, Kat Smutz, David Furtek, Judy Antoniello, Obadiah Lambert - son of Sarah (Calder) and John Lambert, Dr. Brazier (well known, well loved by all), Fa-lon Eales, Ed Hogan.

Happy anniversary to David and Ruth Sousa.

Robbinston Kathy Mekelburg

454-0654Spring arrived officially

Sunday with cold tempera-tures and the threat of a major snow storm. I arose early Sun-day to go to the Open House at Tradewinds Shop ‘n Save. It was only 20 degrees outside. The parking lot was almost full but the crowd in the store was manageable. I was given an Easter ham and everything was 10% off. I did my shop-ping and when I got home it had warmed up into the 30s.

Last Thursday night, the Robbinston Historical Society met at the Visitor’s Center for its first meeting of the year. Teresa Stefan is working on a program to involve the town and its history. Appreciation was given to those who helped at the Christmas Tea. The Du-valls were thanked for decorat-ing the Christmas tree, cutting

down the trees were a threat to the safety of the Chapel and Visitor’s Center, and for the work on the Chapel. Under new business: Bobbi will have the newsletter ready in April, a date will be set in May for the clean-up and planting in the garden. The next meeting will be April 21st at 7:00 p.m. in the Visitor’s Center. The an-nual budget will be presented.

Get well wishes to Rosella Lagerquist.

Life Drawing Class to Exhibit WorksThe Washington Street Gallery on the first floor of Eastport Arts Center will feature an exhibit

of works by participants in the weekly Life Drawing Workshop, April 2-30. The drawings in the show will be selected pieces from their studies which were done while working with the model. The public is invited to attend a reception and meet the artists, some of whom will be discussing their work, on Saturday, April 2, from 4 to 6 pm. The drawing workshop, which takes place each Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 pm at Eastport Arts Center, will be canceled on April 13 and April 20, but will return as usual on April 27.

ademic and athletic strengths. Sarah ranks first in her class and has been the recipient of overall/highest achievement awards, perfect attendance awards, and honor and high honor awards. In an effort to move herself to a position of college ready, Sarah takes the highest level classes as well as early college classes. She is a detail oriented, determined and persevering young lady. For her excellence in academics, Sarah has won several presti-gious awards including Student Sage Scholar Award, Phi Beta Kappa Association of Maine Award, and the Dartmouth College Club of Maine Award. Sarah’s teachers refer to her as a student who will meet any challenge head on and spend whatever time it takes to earn the best grade possible. She has an extremely good work ethic and understands that her learn-ing is in her own hands.

Sarah has a smile for everyone she meets and never speaks poorly of anyone. Sarah is trustworthy and generous and serves as a role model for others. She is a self-starter, easygoing and a team player. Sarah knows how to listen with an open-mind and is thoughtful in the way she responds.

Sarah Boies and Principal Patricia Metta, along with other award winners and their principals, will attend an Hon-ors Luncheon at the Spectacu-lar Events Center in Bangor on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 12:30 p.m.

The Honors Luncheon rec-ognizes these outstanding stu-

dents of the Class of 2016 with the presentation of an indi-vidual plaque and the awarding of five $1,000 scholarships in the names of Horace O. McGowan and Richard W. Tyler. Mr. McGowan and Mr. Tyler were former Maine prin-cipals and Executive Directors of the Maine Principals’ Asso-ciation. This year an additional five $1000 scholarships will be presented through the efforts of the MPA Scholarship Golf Tournament and support from Berlin City Auto.

The Principal's Award is pre-sented in more than 100 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional associa-tion which represents Maine's school administrators.

Congratulations, Sarah. You are most deserving of this honor! Good luck at the Uni-versity of Maine at Presque Isle. We know you will do great things!

The Select Board met on Saturday, March 19th for their usual meeting on the Third Saturday of the month at 8:00 am. The Select Board voted to send Danny Sullivan, Coo-per resident and chair of the Washington County Fiber Initiative, to the 2016 Maine Technology Users Conference again this year. The Washing-ton County Fiber Initiative is very committed to an all-fiber broadband internet solution to homes and businesses in our area. Conferences such as this connect broadband providers, grant agencies, political enti-ties, technology companies and consumers. As WCFI works towards the common sense, fu-ture economical fiber to every home and business solutions,

conferences such as this help promote this effort.

The Select Board voted to purchase a light for better il-lumination directly onto the American Flag flying at the office as a result of some con-cerns expressed that the light at the back of the parking lot does not provide sufficient or direct light upon the flag. John Viselli has agreed to get a light and a plan is being developed to get the mill stone under the flag pole as the base. The goal is for these two items to be complet-ed at the same time to complete this project.

The board had a discussion regarding the cleaning at the Cooper Community Center rec-ommended by CCS report re-garding air quality and possible hazards in the building. The upstairs has been blocked with plastic and the Cooper Commu-

nity Center Friends has agreed to clean the downstairs and the stairwell to prepare for the up-coming special town meeting and to allow for storage in the stairwell. John Viselli will in-quire about estimates for spray foam to block the access of ro-dents or other animals into the inside of the building.

The next regular select board meeting is scheduled for and Saturday April 2nd from 8:00 am to 9:00 am.

At the Select Board meeting on March 5th at the recom-mendation of Maine Municipal Association, the fiscal year and the Town Meeting have been changed. The Fiscal year will begin July 1st and end June 30th each year and the official Town Meeting to be held annu-ally in July. The Town Meeting that was originally scheduled for Monday, March 28th at 7:00 pm will now be held as a special meeting with only three articles including the election of a moderator, the question to elected the municipal officers to serve alternating three year terms, and the question to pay the municipal salaries for the next four months to the begin-ning of the next fiscal year to accommodate the change to the fiscal year.

The Alexander Fire Depart-ment continues to request that Cooper residents put numbers on their homes to assist emer-gency response in finding us should we call for ambulance or fire department assistance. Reflective or light up numbers are preferred but any numbers to identify the home location will help expedite response to the fire or emergency. I will

continue to put this informa-tion in the Cooper news col-umn several times so we can alert residents of the request to identify their homes with house numbers for emergency response. I have not managed to get numbers on my house yet but I have this task on my “to do” list.

The Cooper Town Office will be open for regular business hours in April. Town Clerk Sandy Lyon will be present the first Thursday, April 7th from 6:00-7:30 pm and the third Thursday, April 21st from 6:00-7:00 pm. I will be available for regular Tax Collector hours on Thursday, April 7th and Thurs-day, April 21st from 4:30-6:30 pm. It is time to come see San-dy Lyon to get your boats regis-tered and your fishing licenses for open water fishing now that the ice is out. Come to see me to get your trailers registered and you will be ready for the fishing season.

There is a change to regular services at our local churches this Sunday, March 27th in honor of Easter Sunday. The Meddybemps Christian Church is holding an Easter Breakfast at the Meddybemps Communi-ty Center at 8:00 am featuring sausage and biscuits, waffles, etc. The Easter Sunday Service will follow the breakfast at the Church at about 9:30 am and Sunday school will be provided for the children during the 9:30 am service. The Church of the Open Bible is also having a fel-lowship Easter Breakfast at 8:00 am with Easter Service at 11:00 am. Sunday school is cancelled due to the Easter Breakfast. Everyone is welcome to join ei-

ther Church for their breakfast or Easter Service.

In the Cooper Veterans’ Cor-ner, the featured veteran of the week is Norm Howe. Norm was in the United States Navy from 1971 to 1996 for a total of twenty-five years of service. He was a Senior Chief PRCS (AW), which is an E8 enlisted rank. He was responsible for safety and survival equipment and then he was a Recruiter. He was stationed in Keflavik, Iceland; Memphis, Tennessee; Naval Air Station Meridian, Michigan; and Recruiter Station in Brunswick, Maine. Norm was also on detachments to Na-val Air Station Sigonella Sic-ily, Italy; Panama; and Puerto Rico. Norm was in the service during the Vietnam War and the Gulf War for Desert Shield and Desert Storm. While he was in Saudi Arabia, the Meddybemps Sunday School children wrote letters to him and he wrote back to them telling them he was near where Moses held out his staff and God parted the Red Sea. Norm received two Navy Achievement Awards and Two Navy Accommodations for his service. In the past, Norm has served the Town of Cooper on the planning board, assessor board, as a selectman, and pre-viously as the Treasurer of the Cooper Fire Department. He is currently the Emergency Fire Director and Municipal Fire Chief; assistant Fire Warden; and a member of the assessor board. If any of you should happen to see Norm Howe this week, please join me in thank-ing him for him service to our great Nation.

Growing up in a distant, but still in Maine, community, I remember there would be an occasional community supper to support the school or volunteer fire department/ambulance service. As long as I can remember, it was always headed by one woman who had county-wide and more recognition for her very famous chicken pies and some other goodies. When a public supper was announced, people would call her ahead to make extra pies so they could buy one to take home after the supper. Those times continued into my early adulthood, but I never did get to one of those suppers. This past Sunday evening, I attended my first benefit supper in Princeton. It was suggested to me that it would be wise to get to the Rod and Gun Club at least an hour early. Was that ever a good idea!

I know many people in this area have reputations for great cooking and the many tasty choices gave proof of that. But more so, the building was full to over-flowing when my friend and I arrived just after 4:00 and people kept arriving as we were leaving. To move at all was to almost literally “rub shoulders.” People were on their best behavior, waiting patiently, motioning where a seat was available. The thought that warms my heart is that all of us there, and I’m sure many others who couldn’t attend, wanted to show our appreciation, support, and love to Jay MacArthur and his immediate and extended family.

Greetings from snowy Med-dybemps. Wouldn’t you know it? ... a snowstorm for the first full day of spring. Since we had snow on April 1 last year, it’s just typical spring Maine weather. The forecast was for 7 to 12.” As I write this close to noon on Monday, we have about 4” on the ground.

In town news, Meddybe-mps Annual Town Meeting is Monday, March 28 at 6 pm at Meddybemps Community Center. Articles of Town War-rant scheduled for voting dur-ing the meeting are posted on the Post Office door. The Town Reports are available at Tammi Smith’s office in Cal-ais, and at the Community Center.

Meddybemps Christian

Church is hosting an Easter breakfast at 8 am on Easter Sunday at the Community Center. All are welcome. Due to the breakfast, Sunday School will not be held this week at the church on Easter Sunday. The Easter Church service begins at the church at 9:30 am after the breakfast. Regularly scheduled Sunday School for children and adults resumes April 3 from 8:45 to 9:30 am.

Happy Birthday to Dale Ar-cher on March 29. I errone-ously reported him as a “leap year baby” last month when I said his birthday was Febru-ary 29. Happy Birthday, Dale, again, on your correct birth day.

Chris and Mindy (Smith) Brown have been enjoying a

Florida vacation, and espe-cially Universal Studios in Orlando.

Congratulations to Pete Trouant upon winning The Calais Advertiser’s photo con-test for the beaver he saw rest-ing on the ice in front of his camp. During a recent con-versation, he also said he saw a mink in about the same spot 3 years ago. I asked Pete if we officially have “ice out” on the lake. Although the main ex-panses and large bays are no longer ice covered, there is still some ice at Sandy Cove at the time this is written; thus, it is still not “officially” ice out. Pete explained, “The ‘Ketchen Rule’ declares it is not official until all ice is gone from every surface of the lake -- even tiny coves, inlets and shorelines.” As most everyone knows, Ed Ketchen annually made the “ice in/out” rulings. His genius and wisdom lives on. Whether it is officially ice out or not, it sure is nice to see open water lapping on our shore.

Barry saw a flock of Canada Geese flying over the lake last Friday. This is the first flock of geese that we have seen this Spring. Somehow the word was out that the lakes are melting. We are happy they were flying over, and not stop-ping by our lawn. We guess they also know by now, they are persona non grata at this address.

Pete and Liz Trouant have had a large flock of finches frequenting their tube feed-

ers. Pete said, “We have 30 to 50 gold finches at our feeders. They are supposed to favor thistle, but we see them eating a lot of Black oil sunflower seeds too.” The Trouants don’t have many chickadees, probably because they prefer to be near sheltered places to feed, instead out in the open like the Trouant’s feeders.

We have been enjoying all the birds around our property. Flocks of chickadees come year-round. The large flock of Red Winged Blackbirds have been coming and going for about two weeks. They travel with the Common Grackles, indicated as a normal phenom-enon in my bird book. Juncos continue to feed here as well as sparrows and nuthatches. I have also heard, but not seen, a Whip-poor-will. At least I think that’s what it is. Many kinds of birds seem to be nest-ing in Mike Johnson’s woods that separates his property from ours. The calls, tweets and bird songs coming from there create the sounds of an official bird sanctuary.

Wishing everyone a most blessed Easter and happy Spring!

Grand Lake Stream

This truck has been donated to the Grand Lake Stream Fire De-partment. It is a 2000 Freightliner truck with a 3000 gallon tank. For a community that does not have public water, it is essential to have portable water, should a fire erupt when water is not readily available. A BIG THANKS to Dead River Oil Company for this wonderful gift.

Dave McCullough

What unique winter weath-er! Temperatures and snowfall seem to have become lost this season. A little winter weather is headed our way early this week but with spring here the snow will only have a short visit. My rule of thumb has been, “after April 10th you can count on no more snow.” Occasionally my rule is not accurate??

The Dead River Company has donated a 2000 Freightliner with a 3000 gallon tank to the Grand Lake Stream Fire De-partment!! This truck will be used as a tanker to shuttle wa-ter because Grand Lake Stream does not have hydrants. The truck holds 3000 gals of water and will hold a 2500 gallon drop tank. This tank will hold water on the scene for our pumper while the truck hauls water.

The Grand Lake Stream Fire Department has been training as per plans for different inci-dents that could happen in our town. The fire department has been working on incident action plans for the town office to bring everyone up to speed if a town emergency should occur. This also will help the town emer-gency coordinator and county emergency coordinator if a ma-jor incident happens in the com-munity like weather, fire, floods, and so on. The Firemen’s As-sociation has been working on hats and t-shirts to be sold at the Pine Tree Store along with gearing up for the July 4th and folk festival events. The hats and t-shirts are now in stock at the P.T.S. The fire department is trying to up- grade the station to better serve the community and house our donated tanker. Many thanks to the Dead River Com-pany! Also a Special Thanks to Gary Santerre for his leader-ship!!

(Speaking of water, do you remember sprinkling clothes with this item before ironing them? Look elsewhere in the article for a clue.)

Thanks, Colin, for the follow-ing: On Sunday, the Downeast Lakes Land Trust was pleased to host a Backyard Boil-down and Pancake Brunch, held at the Grand Lake Stream School Building. DLLT Education and Outreach Manager, Colin Brown, presented the process of making your own syrup at home, tapping trees in your own backyard, and enjoying spring’s finest treat! Participants were excited to see the maple sap boiling down over a wood fire and to learn all about this tra-ditional New England pastime. Everyone headed indoors to enjoy fresh maple syrup over warm pancakes! DLLT regu-larly hosts free educational pro-grams for the public. To see what’s happening next, visit www.downeastlakes.org.

Fishing Notice! Effective, Thursday, March 17, the 2016 Open Water fishing season will begin, two weeks earlier than usual, per an amended rule by the Commissioner of the De-partment of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

Anglers are likely to find more

fish available in waters that were stocked last fall. Poor ice conditions meant less time for ice fishing, leaving many trout and salmon that normally would have been caught in the winter still there for spring anglers.

If you are fishing from a boat, the Maine Warden Service is urging boaters to wear their life jackets. Prolonged immersion in cold water can kill, and wearing a life jacket can greatly increase your survival chances if you are in the water unexpectedly.

The beginning of the open water season also means that the department stocking trucks will be busy. The department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife begins an ambitious stocking program in mid-April and by the time ice starts to cover lakes in the fall, over 1.2 million fish will have been stocked in water-ways across the state. For more details contact IFW on the web.

I can remember dancing to the music of Paul Phalen as a teenager growing up in Calais and was sorry to hear of his passing. Paul also grew up in Calais. Back in the 50s the Cal-ais boys would go and court the St. Stephen girls and the St. Stephen boys would come over and court the Calais girls. Either side of the border you could enjoy dancing and listening to the music of Paul Phalen. He has created many memories for people throughout Washington County and across the border and throughout all of Maine as

well. Speaking of music, the State

“Middle School Jazz Band Concert” was held in Newport, Maine this past Saturday. More than 20 schools attended from all over Maine. It was amazing to see the musical talent middle school students have developed. The school we were especially interested in tied for second place.

Ready for a brain teaser? The bottle top of a Royal Crown Cola bottle had holes in it. For what was it used?

There are many Christian activities to participate in this week and will culminate on Easter Sunday. Let your spirit and faith be lifted this week!
