Calais City Manager Directed To Find More Money For SchoolsBy Gwen Clark

The Calais City Council held their regular scheduled meeting last Thursday evening at WCCC gym. The meeting location was changed twice to accommodate interested citizens.

The meeting began as usual with the Consent Agenda be-ing approved unanimously. The Consent Agenda included the following: approval of previous minutes, Treasurers warrants for the City through September 25, 2013, Treasur-ers Warrants for the School through September 25, 2013, Treasurers Warrants for Water through September 25, 2013 Victualers license for King China, Liquor License renewal for King China, Annual Calais free Library Halloween Parade for October 31st at 3:30 PM and Victualers License for the Chen Family Garden restaurant at 43 North Street.

Under Old Business: The City Managers Report:

Store Manager Jordan Codrey is pleased to welcome community members to the new, expanded Walmart in Calais. The expansion added a large produce, deli, and bakery section to the store, as well as enabling more merchandise to be available to customers. The grand opening will be held on October 2nd and will continue for four days. (Photo by Lura Jackson).

It’s been a long process, but after over a year of construc-tion and renovation, the new Walmart expansion is officially complete and ready for busi-ness. The grand opening will be held on Wednesday, October 2nd, kicking off four days of promotions, free giveaways, and numerous vendor booths offering samples of popular products. Special guests in-clude a few professional cheer-leaders from the New England Patriots, who will be on hand on Saturday to sign autographs and meet fans. Family-friendly events will also be offered on Saturday, including cupcake decorating and free snacks (while they last).

“We’re happy that the year-long process is coming to an end,” store manager Jordan

Codrey says. “The community has been more than patient with the occasional inconveniences we had during construction, and we’re grateful for that. Now we’re happy to say, ‘Here it is!’ Everyone is very excited, and we just can’t wait.”

Codrey anticipates that the expansion (which includes a produce and deli section, along with a larger selection of ad-ditional general merchandise) will increase business at the Walmart by about 50%. As their shoppers tend to come throughout the day, the parking lot and street layout should be fine with handling the greater rate of traffic, according to Codrey.

To meet the needs of the new Walmart, the store is filling 80 part time and full time positions (primarily in the food depart-ment, but also freight stockers

and cashiers). Many of the positions have been filled, but another 20-30 employees are sought to complete the roster.

When asked if there was concern regarding impact on other local stores, Codrey re-plied, “Walmart will comple-ment the other stores—we are an added place to shop for the community, providing goods that aren’t offered elsewhere. We will be competitive with our pricing to try to grow.”

The grand opening will in-clude presentations of financial donations to organizations within the community. Within the State of Maine, Walmart has consistently contributed food donations to help combat hunger in their areas, and the Calais Walmart will continue that tradition.

Diane Barnes: “We did get an e-mail from Washington D.C. and they will be coming up here some time in October on the 16th to do a site visit of a piece of property that is adjacent to our cemetery, and what they’re going to come to Calais to look for is a place to have a Veterans’ Memo-rial cemetery, so we have been selected, Calais has. I don’t know if they’re going to look at any other properties. But we did put a bid in for one of our pieces of property and they will be here on October 16th.”

Committee Reports: Finance Committee Councilor, Billy Howard had nothing to re-port.

Property Committee Coun-cilor Mingo had nothing to re-port but inquired about, “Where do we stand on that ATV Trail property on the Moosehorn and the City of Calais?”

Jim Porter: “The Moose-horn actually blocked that a week ago but it’s still in the works.”

Chief David Randall: “We also need to get the ATV Club to get their signs up. Technical-ly it’s still not legal for them to be operating on the roads until they get their signs up.”

Public Safety Committee, Councilor Alan Dwelley:

“The Public Safety Committee met earlier and discussed the vacancy created by Sergeant Donahue resignation and the idea to hire a Detective,/Inves-tigator in place of a Sergeant, if we do that the Chief explained that we would see about a $6 to

$7 thousand dollar savings and that position would a flexible shift forty hour a week posi-tion used to investigate crimes within the City.”

Public Works Committee Tom Parks: “We met tonight

as well. Skeet has brought to us that he was looking to purchase a 2006 F150 for the cemetery, very low mileage, 12,000 on it so we expect to be able to use that for the next 15 to 20 years. It should do everything that we need it to do.”

School Liason Committee Councilor Bernardini had noth-ing to report.

Economic/Community Development Committee Councilor Bernardini: “The Economic Development Com-mittee met two weeks ago and met with Carrie Weston to talk about our LOGO and our website. We’re going to try a meeting in October so that we can unveil the logo design for the public.”

The CIP Withdrawal for the Community Center Roof Replacement in the amount of $12,500.

Mingo made the motion and stated: “This is a neces-sary improvement to the facili-ties for our children” and How-ard seconded it. The motion carried. Mayor Moore opened the meeting up for public com-ment on the agenda items.

Moore: “We will at the end of the meeting have an opportunity for further public comment .”

Under New Business: In the Agenda, the first item was to schedule a Public Hearing on Emergency Business District revitalization Ordinance. It was to extend the Emergency Ordinance for the third time until the Planning Board fi-nalizes the new ordinance. Dwelley made the motion to set the Public Hearing for the ordinance renewal for October 10 and Bernardini seconded. The motion passed.

The CIP withdrawal for the Cemetery truck Purchase:

Parks: “The majority of the committee felt that this was a good idea to follow through on the truck purchase.”

Parks made the motion it was seconded by Mingo. The motion passed with Howard and Nixon opposed. The total cost of the vehicle was $19,300 with a $1,400 delivery cost and that CIP was left with a surplus. The Police department vacancy which had been discussed ear-lier in the meeting was next on the Agenda.

Mingo: “Is this something that should be at the end of the

new business instead of right now with the school issue?”

Moore: “We’re just follow-ing along the Agenda that’s all.”

Mingo: “I’m just asking why it’s not considered after the School Referendum?”

Moore: “Well I think you’re talking about two different is-sues Artie because...”

Mingo: “I am talking about two different issues.”

Moore: “Well we’re going to have to suspend the rules to discuss the school budget be-cause all that is on the Agenda is just setting the date for the referendum.”

Howard: “I think that it’s a great concept. It all comes down to the fact that we have the money. Until we get this budget settled. Take Skeet’s truck, it’s needed, there’s no question it’s needed, but it still comes down to the dollars and cents that we have.”

Moore: “But safety is so important, Billy.”

Howard: “Everything in this whole city is important.”

Dwelley: “My concern is public safety and to me public safety is non negotiable. This is a public safety issue.”

Moore: “Do you want to make that motion then?”

Dwelley made the motion and Bernardini seconded it. The motion passed with Parks, Bernardini, Dwelley and Moore in favor and opposed were: Howard, Mingo and Nixon.

Nixon: “I am a law enforce-ment officer too and safety is important and I’m all for a detective position but I don’t understand why this can’t be placed at the end of the Agen-da. We can’t hire anybody when people are going to lose their jobs and if our children and community don’t have a school, we won’t need a Police Department .”

The Nursing Home feasibil-ity study was taken up next.

Manager Barnes stated: “As everybody knows we did not get the money for the feasi-bility study. The City needs the go ahead to do limited research an RFP into seeking a Nursing Home in the community with-out any cost to the City or Tax-payers. Nixon made the mo-tion and Bernardini seconded. The motion was passed. Both the school budget referendum and the school budget exit poll question was tabled until the next meeting.

Dwelley and Bernardini along with the City Manager met and came up with some figures to give the schools some extra money from CIP an additional $100,000 and from additional fund balance of $9,000 which would give the schools $109,000 more.

Moore requested Dwelley to begin the discussion.

Moore: “Just for the record, we were looking at $40,000 for the tennis Courts, $30,000 playground equipment, $2,000 from the Community Center roof that we saved, $4000 saved from the cemetery truck, $6000 from the softball fenc-ing, $5000 from the ADA Pool Compliance, $3,000 from the City Building electrical work, $10,000 equipment reserve, and the $9,000 from the unas-signed fund balance to provide the $500,000 fund s to the schools.”

The majority of these cuts have come from the Calais rec-reation Department and ironi-cally are things taken from the children in order to give back to the children.

Mingo: “After looking at the cuts that the School Board is looking at cutting at that last Tuesday nights meeting, I think that this Council could come up with cuts that would be nearer that $200,000 mark, between $185,000 and $200,000. The children are not going to be hurt in that school. There are going to have to be cuts. I know that the School Board knows it and a lot of citizens know that that’s got to be some cuts made in that school, but the closer they can get to that $200,000 I feel the kids won’t be hurt.”

Howard: “I agree whole heartedly. They are $444,000

thats still huge cuts. After the other night after seeing the list, it’s way too much to absorb in one year those types of cuts, just too much to take period, and one slashing like that it’s unacceptable to me to make the amount of cuts that they are going to have to make, It’s too much all at once. It’s too much ever. The fact is, we have got to support that school. It’s revenue making. It’s almost like a business. It is a business. We have some that bring revenue in and some that moves revenue out, you don’t see young people moving in here. If we don’t get those young people moving in here, we are just not going to have a community. And that school is what’s bringing the young people in with kids.”

Mingo made the motion: “The City Manager is to take the next few days and schedule an emergency meeting next week and for her to come back with some more cuts and more recommendations that the City Council will decide on within a closer range to $200,000 in cuts.”

Howard seconded. Those in favor were Parks,

Howard, Bernardini, Mingo, Dwelley, and Nixon and no vote from Moore.

Mingo: “I would also like the public to know that we are going to do everything we can to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

A request for CIP withdraw-als for the purchase of bullet proof vests for the Police de-partment were passed as well.

Local Budgets Impacted by Government StalemateBy Dan Northcutt

On Monday night lawmak-ers failed to pass a budget before the midnight deadline. Both sides of the aisle were deadlocked, with the GOP refusing to allow a “clean” bill that makes no provisions to the Affordable Healthcare Act, often called Obamacare, and Democrats refusing to allow any changes to the program. This marks the first time a budget has failed to make the deadline in nearly 2 decades. While the House is set to recon-

vene Tuesday morning at 9:30, Washington appears closer to bedlam than it does to passing a budget that both sides can agree upon, especially before the impacts are felt within gov-ernment organizations, and the economic market, which took a sharp downturn on Monday amidst fears of the deadline.

Within the Downeast com-munity the impact of the gov-ernment shutdown will be drastic. Meg Scheid of the National Parks Service at the St. Croix Island International Historic Site said that, should

the budget fail to pass by of the deadline, the gates to St. Croix’s gates would be locked, services suspended, and rangers placed on furlough. Also, under The Department of the Interior is Moosehorn Wildlife Refuge. Manager Bill Kolodnicki stated on Monday, that Moosehorn would similarly close their gates, suspend all services, and place officers on unpaid furlough; in addition ,all local contractors currently working in Moosehorn will be asked to leave. The same problems will plague surrounding communi-

ties such as Acadia and Aroos-took. In addition there will be several nationwide ramifica-tions that affect our community and the country at large. These include lack of funding for the space program at NASA, as well as delays in areas such as citizenship and visitor visas, federal firearms background checks, passport applications, and many Veteran services like education benefits.

Vital Services will continue unimpeded. Air traffic control-lers, USDA inspectors, and the U.S. active duty and reserve military will be largely unaf-fected. In our area USPS will continue to deliver the mail, a press release from Customs and Border Protection ensures that the borders will continue to operate at their usual efficiency, and Chief Homestead, Officer in Charge of Coast Guard Sta-tion Eastport stated, “The sta-tion will continue to provide the same service to the community

as ever.” Tomorrow the largely Re-

publican house will have to submit a plan to the Democrat run Senate who will then have to accept it in turn. However, for the more than 800,000 gov-ernment employees, including dozens within the Calais area, it may well be too little too late. Amidst partisan quips and pejoratives and even extensive infighting, particularly within the Grand Old Party, Sylvia Burwell, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget released a somber directive requiring “executive plans for an orderly shutdown.” As of Monday morning Calais woke up with St. Croix Island closed on one side of Rte. 1, Moosehorn on the other side, too many local officers and rangers scrambling to make ends meet on unpaid furlough, and in no apparent way any closer to a bipartisan resolu-tion.

Grant Funds Awarded to The Next Step Domestic Violence Project

Next Step has recently re-ceived four significant grant awards from the State of Maine and Federal government agen-cies:

From the Maine State De-partment of Health and Human Services, to provide domestic violence services in District 7, Hancock and Washington Counties, Maine. From the Maine Department of Public Safety, to serve victims of crime from the initial stages of a criminal domestic violence case, providing victims with early access to advocacy and

support, through all stages of the case to its conclusion. From MaineHousing, to assist home-less clients seeking permanent housing with education, ser-vices, and support to overcome barriers in obtaining and main-taining housing. And from the Federal Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, to provide assistance to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking who are in need of transitional housing, short-term housing assistance, and related supportive services.

Next Step Executive Di-rector, Rebecca Hobbs, re-ports that ‘This complement of grants will strengthen the safety net for victims and survivors of domestic violence, includ-ing those who are homeless, victims of crime, and in need of supportive services. Next Step is in an excellent position to advocate for and assist victims for years to come, and to work with our community partners to improve the response to people in need.’

To the EditorTo The Editor:

This letter is concerning Cal-ais’ upcoming November elec-tion for our school board mem-bers. Upon our budget crisis I along with many others noticed the hardest hit was towards our Calais school system. The cuts proposed were absolutely devastating and heartbreaking and it may seem last minute but I would like to nominate myself as a write in for the 2 year term for the school board. My intentions are to put our children first. Children are our

future leaders, contrary to what many people think they do see and understand this crisis we are going through and it is hurting them as well. I also feel that currently we are not work-ing together as a community properly and we need to put our best foot forward to make that happen. I don’t know every-thing but I am willing to learn anything. If you would like to vote for me, please write me in for the 2 year term!

Calais School Board Tables Budget CutsBy Gwen Clark

Last Tuesday evening the Cal-ais School Committee met at the High School Cafeteria with all intentions of making the neces-sary cuts in order to meet their $446,316 2013 budget shortfall. What has become an on going back and forth battle between the School and the City had finally come home to roost when the Superintendent had drawn up a list of cuts that would have the least effect on the students, that would lessen the impact on their education process as much as possible.

Superintendent Laser stat-ed: “My heart is very heavy. I have only been on the job for approximately three weeks, and the second day on the job, I was directed to hand out pink slips. That was my welcome to Calais. All Maine school districts are struggling with limited revenues, You’re cutting into the bone. Mr. Perkins has no books, zero books. The only things that are left are on this list . . . There is no easy answer to any of this stuff. It’s painful all the way around. The only place that I can see where you can get revenue is from your City, that is the only place. The longer we wait on these position cuts the more it costs. We are already looking at three years on these things.”

That list that Dr. Laser referred to includes the principal position at the elementary school with the superintendent picking up that job as half time principal at no additional cost, saving $60,000, Two maintenance worker positions, approximately $62,000 savings, with required ninety day notifications a part-time elementary art teaching position, approximate $35,000 savings, part-time elementary music teaching position, ap-proximate $24,000 savings, one kindergarten teaching position and offering a half day program, approximate $45,000 savings. eliminate a full time Title I pro-gram teacher at elementary and re-assign two ed tech I positions to Title I program, approximate savings $50,000 savings, com-bine students in grades 5 and 6 in elementary and eliminate one classroom teacher, ap-

proximate savings of $50,000, eliminate full time librarian position at high school, approxi-mate $40,000 savings, eliminate school nurse position at Calais Elementary School and create a half time position, approximate savings of $18,000, eliminate the following programs all uncom-mitted co-curricular and extra curricular expenditures, approxi-mate savings of $90,000, and cutting through furlough days with Calais Education Associa-tions concurrence, approximate savings $22,000 per day. Over two hundred people attended the meeting and were allowed to express their thoughts and concerns publicly. They were given the opportunity to speak and be heard by the School Com-mittee and community members. Several members of the City Council were present as well.

Elementary children, high school students, parents, teach-ers, coaches, administrators, taxpayers and overall commu-nity members walked up to the front to speak in defense of the school. Several Calais High School students that were in at-tendance were members of the Class of 2014 Senior Class and several of them spoke. Many parents and students who spoke had moved here from other communities either out of state or within state and said that one of the major reasons if not the major reason for moving to the community was the school sys-tem, its pride, its education, its programs, its teaching staff.

The question was asked if the City Budget should have been closed before the school budget.

Committee Member John Hill stated: “In our opinion, No, but it was. They closed the city budget and took care of the city and then we had to deal with the schools.’

Ed Leeman: “The problem I have with that is we closed the city budget, we are the city, we are the community.”

City Councilor Artie Mingo was the only Councilor to speak at the meeting: “I would like to say a few words as a City Coun-cilor and a Calais High School graduate and a citizen, some of the things that were brought up

we had to pass our budget be-cause we had no money to run, the City had to continue to run, we had to pass that Budget, No it should not be passed before the School Budget is approved, no it should not, but the more accounting problems that we had found with the school it had to keep being delayed until we could get the bare bone figures of what we had exactly for a budget for the school and that put us in the situation that we had to pass our budget and the school was unable to come up with the proper figures that they needed for the money they needed to op-erate. I was elected to the Coun-cil in November and I’ve been on the Council before and it’s been a real roller coaster, I have never seen this, this bad before. Quite a bit of this has been out of the hands of the school board and the City of Calais. There is about $500,000 in their budget that we had no control over at all, decisions from the State, insur-ances, AOS. The majority of this wasn’t in the hands of the School Board or the City of Calais and it may get worse next year. As a Councilor and a citizen, I ran for the City Council last year, eco-nomic development; the biggest bang for our buck that I see is this School System.”

Resident Tom Webster: “These kids here today should be afforded the same opportu-nity. This is an atrocity. There is plenty of money in Calais to fund everything but what it is, its got to be allocated to the proper ar-eas. I have gone to every Coun-cil Meeting for years and I have watched hundreds of thousands of dollars float down the river. One of them is that brick menag-erie on the river. I am going to vote no on the referendum and

force the City to come up with the money. They can come up with the money for these stupid projects, they certainly can come up with the money to educate these kids and send them on to higher learning.”

A Pembroke resident and Pembroke School Committee member as well as a parent of two students in Calais High School: “I kind of thought I’d stay out of this fight but I took a quick look at the budget here knowing how school funding formulas work, the State mandates the EBS to the town, which basically says the town has to fund the school to a certain level which is $1.415 million dollars that the City of Calais has to fund the school from the City to get the full funding from the State, In the little town of Pembroke, our numbers are a bit different but we actually allocate almost $100 thousand over the EBS to our school. We’ve heard from Charlotte they put over $100 thousand into their school. The City of Calais puts zero dollars over the EBS formula? Shame on you, Shame on you!”

A member of the audience inquired if they attended the next City Council meeting would they be allowed to speak? The agenda for that meeting sug-gested that there was Public Comment.

Following close to two hours of listening to public comments and answering questions at this meeting, the Calais School Board voted unanimously to table the budget cuts until after the Thursday City Council Meet-ing. The motion came from member Bob Greenlaw and was seconded by Kathleen Caso with all members in favor.

Woodland’s October Fest Schedule Confirmed By Dorothy Johnson

Woodland’s October fest will begin with a bang on Friday, October4th with a performance by the Lighthouse Jubilees at the Woodland Elementary School at 7pm. These two ladies from the southern part of the state will entertain the audience with tunes from the 40s, 50s, 60s and gospel. A real bonus of this pro-gram is that every cent earned will be donated to the Woodland Public Library by the Riverside Rebekahs.

New Yoga Studio Offers Relaxation in Calais

Yoga instructor Christine Henry gives a warm welcome to Peaceful Postures, her newly opened studio in Calais, Henry offers a variety of classes with a focus on gentle movement, and her current students range in age from 13-75. (Photo by Lura Jackson).

By Lura Jackson

Last month, Peaceful Pos-tures Yoga opened in town, giving residents the opportu-nity to learn and practice the art of yoga. As something of a combination of meditation and exercise, the Eastern tradition is simple to begin, and it offers its practitioners a wide range of physical and mental benefits.

Instructor Christine Henry offers a variety of yoga styles, though mainly she incorpo-rates hatha yoga (one of the most gentle forms). “Any-body can do it. You don’t have to be flexible or a specific size or shape. Even if you have physical limitations, you can do it. It’s about connecting mind, body, and spirit—all it takes is practice, and since it’s your mat, it’s your prac-tice.” Some classes are more specific, including mamaste yoga (for prenatal mothers) and “Mom and Me” yoga (for parents and their children).

Born and raised in Calais, Henry opened the studio after considering fun and healthy options for the community. With a lifelong interest in yoga and teaching (encour-aged by fellow Calais instruc-tor Christine Felker), Henry decided to attend an intensive 200-hour retreat for yoga instructors at Wellheart Yoga in Cape Elizabeth. Shortly after coming home, she began instructing from her home in Crawford while searching for a place in Calais to serve as a studio. Though her current location (next to the Venus and Apollo Fitness Center on Barker Street) is serviceable, she continues to seek a spot that would accommodate more students due to the high interest. “I want everyone that wants to experience it to expe-

rience it,” Henry explains.In the eventual, Henry

would like to work with other area instructors to offer ad-ditional classes, including belly dancing, reiki, and tai chi. She intends to continue developing her own skill by learning from mentors in a variety of alternative, healthy practices.

Classes are held on Tues-day and Thursday in the late afternoon and early evening, though morning classes may soon be added to the schedule.

Newcomers are welcome, adds Henry. “You can walk into any class, and you won’t be behind.”

Henry can be reached at 454-1185, or via email at Peacefu lpos turesyoga@gmail.com. Space is limited, so please contact in advance if you plan on attending.

National Fire Prevention Week

By Dan Northcutt

October 6th through the 12th is National Fire Preven-tion Week. The event has been held annually on the week in October that coincides with the 9th since President Coolidge initiated it in 1925. With fa-miliar initiatives like Sparky the Fire Dog, Smoky the Bear, and “stop, drop, and roll” the program has been a large success in raising awareness throughout communities about fire safety and planning.

Within our community, stu-dents from Eastport Elementa-ry School will be speaking with the Eastport Volunteer Fire Department and taking a tour of the Station and equipment. In Baileyville, Chief McPhee and members of his department are making efforts to organize a visit and tour with Wood-land Elementary. The Calais Fire Department, under Chief Posick, will be holding events throughout the community. On Monday and Tuesday the department will be at the ready, playing it by ear as community developments unfold. Come Wednesday the department visits St. Croix Early Child-hood Education who is hosting a family night at 5:30. The kids will learn about fire safety and get a chance to see a fire truck up close. Friday morning dur-ing the 10:30 is “Wiggles & Giggles” at The Calais Free Library, the fire department will be bringing a fire truck, speaking with the children, and performing a reading. Lastly, The Calais Advertiser will be putting out its Fire Preven-

tion Week paper with ads and tips throughout regarding fire safety next week.

Parents and community members are encouraged to join events, and to become in-volved in National Fire Preven-tion Week at home and work.

Touch Tank at RiceFest!

(Photo courtesy of Anne Langston).

Get to know some of Maine’s marine life at our marine bi-ologist-led interactive touch tank display at the Cobscook Community Learning Center’s annual RiceFest celebration on Saturday, October 12, 12:00-4:00pm. It’s hands on fun for the whole family! Learn about farming-in-the-sea in Maine, the importance of farmed seafood in our everyday lives, and about our fascinating marine life.

The touch tank is teeming with live shellfish including periwinkles, oysters, mussels, and scallops, plus sea stars, horseshoe crabs, sea urchins, hermit crabs, crabs, sea cu-cumbers and more. Plus our display will introduce you to more of the aquaculture industry in Maine including clownfish, urchins and seaweed.

The touch tank will be pre-sented by Dr Anne Langston from the Aquaculture Research Institute, University of Maine. Anne is a marine biologist who studied in Plymouth (UK) and St Andrews (UK) before

travelling and working in Ire-land, Norway and Scotland. She moved to Maine almost 3 years ago and now works as the Associate Director of the Aqua-culture Research Institute. The Aquaculture Research Institute is working with CCLC to devel-op aquaculture-related research and education programs in the Cobscook area.

Other events at RiceFest on Saturday include Kid’s Activi-ties, Artisan Demonstrations and sale of crafted goods, a Whoopie Pie Contest, Cake Walk, music in the bandstand all day, and more. The Lubec Masons will provide all you can eat food all afternoon. The Rice family will offer a Spaghetti Supper starting at 4:30. The Cobscook Commu-nity Learning Center is located at 10 Commissary Point Rd in Trescott. Admission to RiceFest is free. A free shuttle bus will be running from the Machias Har-vest Festival throughout the day. For more information, call the CCLC: 207-733-2233 or visit our website: www.cclc.me.

Many May Qualify for Free Car Seat ProgramBy Jayna Smith

The Department of Trans-portation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports staggering statistics: motor vehicle crash-es remain a leading cause of death in children. Child safety seats, also called car seats, are designed specifically to protect children from injury or death during collisions.

In Maine, according to Kris-ten Fowler, a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and Calais Regional Hospital’s site manager for a car seat program, children weighing less than 40 pounds must be secured in a car seat. Addition-ally, those under 8 years old and between 40 to 80 pounds must be secured in a federally approved seat, such as a for-ward-facing seat or a booster seat. These necessities, how-ever, can cost upwards of $100, a hefty price for many.

Fowler told The Calais Ad-vertiser that funding from the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety with assistance from NHTSA now makes it pos-sible for many to obtain a new car seat for free. “To qualify,” Fowler said, “one must be a Maine resident and be eligible for MaineCare, WIC (Women, Infant, and Children nutritional program), TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), or SNAP (Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program).” If someone is not enrolled in any of those program, she added,

there are income guidelines to meet to qualify.

“Only one car seat is allowed for each child per family. So if a family has two children and qualified for a free seat, each child could receive a new seat,” Fowler explained. “If a child or children outgrow their car seat that was provided to them by the program, the parent or caregiver can return it and get the next size seat that best fits the child or children.”

Washington County has three car seat distribution centers. These locations are at Calais

Regional Hospital, Down East Community Hospital, and In-dian Township Health Center. As well, those interested in having their child’s current car seat checked for the right fit and installation can make an appointment with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Techni-cian in their area. This, too, is a free service.

For more information about the Bureau of Highway Safety’s Car Seat Distribution program, or to have a car seat checked, one can reach Kristen Fowler at 454-3634.

5th Annual Ken & Jane Brooks Concert

CALAIS _ Feet will be tap-ping during the 5th annual Ken and Jane Brooks and Friends Concert on Saturday, Oct. 19th at Washington County Com-munity College.

The show starts at 7 p.m. and will be held in the lecture hall.

Since their concert last year, it has been an amazing time for the couple who in 2012 received the Vocal Duo of the Year Award from the Maine Country Music Association.

But soon they will be back in Calais and in addition to their musical voices; this year’s Homecoming Concert will in-clude Eric Boothroyd.

According to Ken Brooks, Boothroyd is an outstanding musician with years of experi-ence. He started out with a rock and roll band in Connecticut later moving to Maine where he joined the Misty Moun-taineers Bluegrass band. Since then he has played with other Maine bluegrass bands. “He is a well-rounded musician, a great guitarist and a fantastic singer,” Brooks said.

Al though the program will consist of the traditional bluegrass, country and folk, Boothroyd and the Brooks will also play some vintage rock and roll. One popular song that the couple has performed over the years is Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence.” The couple plans to sing that again this year.

Brooks, who is a true musi-cal talent, began his career more than 45 years ago. He has played at clubs, fairs, concert halls and festivals throughout

Canada and the U.S. including Nashville, Tennessee.

In 1965, he regularly per-formed at the Jonesport Opry House. From 1988 to 1996, Ken was the lead vocalist and guitarist for Bluegrass Supply Company, one of the most pop-ular and best known Bluegrass bands in the Northeast. Since that time he has performed with other Maine bands including Union River Band, Bob and Grace French, the Rainbow Valley Folks and Fox Hollow. He also performed with Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary fame. He is presently a member of the Katahdin Val-ley Boys, an award-winning bluegrass band.

He has recorded 10 albums and has appeared as a backup musician on others. In 2012 he was inducted into the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame.

Beside his musical talent, Brooks also is a talented art-ist. He has painted everything from wall murals to pictures on the sides of trucks. He also does lettering and his graphic artistry is much sought after by motorcycle enthusiasts.

The couple met while attend-ing school in Calais.

Jane found her bluegrass roots when she and Ken were married in 1987. Several years ago when Ken was not play-ing in a band, Jane decided to learn to play an instrument. She chose the bass. The couple has been performing as a duet act since 2004. Jane Brooks has also performed as a member of Fox Hollow.

A portion of the proceeds

from the concert will help fund the Ken and Jane Brooks’ WCCC Scholarship and the Calais High School music pro-gram. “We grew up in Washing-ton County and graduated from Calais,” he said. “We are aware of how difficult it is to get a college degree and we wanted to do something to support the college and the students who attend. We would like the stu-dents, once they graduate, to stay in Washington County.”

Three years ago, then WCCC

President Joyce Hedlund ap-proached them about setting up a scholarship in their names. They agreed and established the Ken and Jane Brooks WCCC Scholarship Fund. Again this year, they sent out letters to prospective donors and to date they have raised more than $500 for the fund.

Anyone who would like to donate can make checks payable to the Ken and Jane Brooks Scholarship and send it to WCCC, One College Drive,

Calais. All gifts to WCCC are tax deductible. There also will be a donation box for those who wish to donate the night of the concert.

The couple also plans to donate a portion of the concert proceeds to the Calais High School music program. They also will be holding a workshop at the high school prior to the concert.

The concert is co-sponsored by Greystone Bed and Break-fast and WCCC.

EHC Slogan WinnerEASTPORT _ Slogan aficio-

nados from Eastport to Calais focused their creative powers on some memorable phrases and after some serious review by Eastport Health Care’s Community Committee, the winning motto was selected.

The first place winner of the first-ever Eastport Health Care Slogan Contest was Ash-ley Hinson of Calais with her catchy phrase “Eastport Healthcare, Our Specialty is You.” Hinson won a $50 gift certificate donated by the New Friendly Restaurant in Perry.

The second-place prize went to Bill Buehner of Eastport who played on Maine’s slogan, “The Way Life Should Be.” Bueh-ner came up with, “EHC, The Way Health Care Should Be.” Buehner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Liberty Café in Eastport.

The third place prize also goes to Hinson.

She submitted several ideas and after careful consideration by the Community Committee her slogan, “Eastport Health-

care, Because you Matter,” was selected. She also will receive a $25 gasoline gift card.

EHC’s chief executive officer Holly Gartmayer-DeYoung said she was pleased with the response. “We are really pleased with the slogan submit-ted by Ms. Hinson and we will be incorporating it on all future correspondence and other EHC documents,” she said.

That sentiment was echoed by Roland Bohtello, president of EHC’s Board of Directors. “We have some truly creative people out there and they dem-onstrated their ingenuity by submitting some really good slogans. I also was pleased that we received submissions from Calais to Eastport.”

EHC has a rich history that began in 1978 and now in-cludes not only medical but dental, podiatry as well as be-havioral counseling. In addition to its state-of-the-art facility in Eastport, EHC has medical of-fices in Machias and Calais.

Are you wondering what may become of your treasured possessions after you’re gone? Who will get those old family photos, or Grandpa’s well-worn fishing tackle box, or that yel-low pie plate Grandma always used? The Calais Free Library will host a workshop and dis-cussion to help you answer such questions in advance and make plans accordingly.

Jane Conroy, a Family Fi-nancial Management educa-tor with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, will lead the workshop. She will offer a step-by-step guide on how to pass along non-titled property – not just in case of

death, but also if you move or downsize. The planning tips she offers can help families communicate, make decisions and reduce conflict. You will get ideas on how to bring up inheritance issues for discus-sion, what fairness means and preparing a legally-appropriate list of non-titled property.

The workshop will be at Calais Free Library, at 9 Union Street in Calais, on Wednesday, October 23rd from 10 to 11:30 A.M. There is no charge but pre-registration is required. You can register in-person at the library or call us at 454-2758.

Affordable Premiums In The New Health Insurance Marketplace In Maine A new report released today

by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finds that in Maine, consumers will see increased competi-tion in the Health Insurance Marketplace, leading to new and affordable choices for consumers. According to the report, Maine consumers will be able to choose from an av-erage of 20 health plans in the Marketplace. Nationally, the vast majority of consumers will have a choice of at least 2 different health insurance companies - usually more. Premiums nationwide will also be around 16 percent lower than originally expected – with about 95 percent of eli-gible uninsured live in states with lower than expected premiums – before taking into account financial assistance.

“In the past, Mainers were too often denied or priced-out of quality health insurance options, but thanks to the Af-fordable Care Act they will be able to choose from a number of new coverage options at a price that is affordable,” said Secretary Sebelius.

In less than a week, the new Marketplace will be open for business where millions of Americans will be able to shop for and purchase health insurance coverage in one place. Consumers will be able to find out whether they qual-ify for premium assistance and compare plans side-by-side based on pricing, quality and benefits. No one can be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition. Octo-ber 1 marks the beginning of a six-month long open enroll-ment period that runs through March 2014. Coverage begins as early as January 1, or in as little as 100 days from today.

Today’s report finds that individuals in Maine will have an average of 20 qualified health plan choices. Plans in the Marketplace will be categorized as either “gold,” “silver,” or “bronze.” Young adults will also have the option of purchasing a “catastrophic” plan, increasing their number of choices.

In Maine, the average pre-mium for the lowest-cost silver plan will be $388 and for the lowest cost bronze plan it will be $328. The av-erage premium nationally for the second lowest cost silver plan will be $328 before tax credits, or 16 percent be-low projections based off of Congressional Budget Office estimates.

Premium and plan options are broken down by state where information is avail-able. For example, the report shows that a 27-year old living in Maine who makes $25,000 per year will pay $96 per month for the lowest cost bronze plan and $145 per month for the second lowest cost silver plan, taking into ac-count tax credits. For a fam-ily of four in Maine with an income of $50,000 per year, the lowest bronze plan would cost only $104 per month.

In Portland, ME, a 27-year old who makes $25,000 per year will pay $96 per month for the lowest cost bronze plan and $145 per month for the second lowest cost silver plan, taking into account tax credits. For a family of four in Portland, ME with an income

of $50,000 per year, the low-est bronze plan would cost only $103 per month. And Portland consumers will be able to choose from among 17 qualified health plans.

The majority (around 6 out of 10) of the individuals who are uninsured today will

be able to find coverage for $100 or less per month in the Marketplace taking into ac-count premium tax credits and Medicaid coverage.

Consumers can get help finding Marketplace coverage through a number of different resources. They can get more

information through Health-Care.gov, or cuidadodesalud.gov. They can participate in an online web chat, or call 1-800-318-2596 toll free (TTY: 1-855-889-4325) to speak with a trained customer ser-vice representative with trans-lation services available in 150

Winners from the September 28, 2013 Autumn Gold Car Show were (left to right) Denise Marrs, Wayne Crosby and Pam Oakes. (Submitted photo).

Car Show Winnerslanguages. There will also be people in local communities who can provide in-person help with coverage choices. Those will include Navigators and other assisters, commu-nity health centers across the country, local libraries, and hundreds of Champions for Coverage that have signed up to help consumers learn about their options.

Bird Seasons Start October 1

More opportunities for Turkey Hunters this Fall

AUGUSTA, Maine -- Oc-tober 1 marks the start of the upland bird season in much of the state, and this fall, turkey hunters have an expanded sea-son that starts October 3 and can take up to two birds this fall season.

Wild turkeys are a wildlife success story in Maine. Once gone from Maine landscapes, they are now a familiar sight in all Maine’s 16 counties, thanks to a reintroduction and manage-

ment plan started in the 1970s by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

With a turkey population that continues to grow, turkey hunters are seeing the benefit as this fall they will see a longer season, a longer hunting day, higher bag limit, and more ar-eas open to hunting than ever before. Successful hunters will be happy to know that there is a reduced registration fee, now only $2.00, down from $5.00.

“Maine has some of the fin-est turkey hunting opportunities in the eastern United States,” said Brad Allen, IFW’s game bird biologist, “Success rates are high, the birds are light-ly hunted compared to other states, and there are a variety of areas to hunt turkeys in the state.”

The fall turkey season now spans four weeks starting Oc-tober 3 and continuing through November 1, running concur-

rently with the archery season for deer. Hunters can hunt the entire day from ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset. Hunters can take up to two turkeys this fall, but should note where they are hunting. In some western and eastern wildlife management districts (12, 13, 18, 26 and 29), hunters can only harvest one turkey of either sex or age but in southern and central Maine (WMDs 15-17, 20-25, and 28), hunters can take two turkeys of either sex or age. Wildlife Management Districts 1-11, 14, 19, and 27 are closed to fall turkey hunt-ing, but are open for spring turkey hunting.

October 1 marks the begin-ning of the grouse and wood-

cock seasons, and the water-fowl season in the southern and coastal zones.

Grouse hunters who hunt in unorganized territories should take note of a new law that requires grouse hunters that are in or travelling through unorganized territories to label their harvested birds with their name and the date taken before the next calendar day.

An Unorganized Territory is defined by the state as the area of Maine having no local, incorporated municipal govern-ment. Unorganized territories in Maine consist of over 400 townships, plus many coastal islands that do not lie within municipal bounds.

Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate Workshop Offered in Calais and Machias

Personal belongings often have special meaning for indi-viduals and family members. Planning to pass on such items -- treasured wedding photo, Grandpa’s fishing tackle box, or a well-used yellow pie plate -- can be challenging, and may lead to family conflict. This session is a step by step guide on what to do with your non-titled property (or yellow pie plate)......when you move, downsize your home or if there is a death in the family.

University of Maine Cooper-ative Extension Educator, Jane Conroy will lead the discussion in these workshop sessions. Free of charge. No matter who you are in the process (parent, spouse, child, educator) the resources she shares will help families communicate, make decisions, and lessen conflict. You will be better prepared to bring up inheritance issues for discussion; prepare a legally appropriate list of non-titled property; decide what fair means and consider how to deal with conflicts before they

arise.Two sessions of this work-

shop will take place on Wednes-day, October 23rd. The first session will take place in Calais at the Calais Free Library from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. To regis-ter for this site, please contact Kathleen Staples at 454-2758 or kstaples@calais.lib.me.us. The second session will take place in Machias at the Uni-versity of Maine at Machias in the Science Building, Room 102 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. To register for this site, please con-tact Tara Wood at 255-3345 or tara.a.wood@maine.edu. The registration deadline is Friday, October 18th.

To request a disability ac-commodation, call Tara Wood at 207.255.3345 or toll free at 1.800.287.1542 to discuss your needs. Receiving requests for accommodations at least seven days before the program begins provides a reasonable amount of time to meet the request, however all requests will be accepted.

The First, N.A. Announces Sponsorship of Maine Basketball Hall of Fame

Daniel R. Daigneault, President and Chief Executive Officer of The First, N.A., is proud to announce that The First is the found-ing sponsor of The Maine Basketball Hall of Fame, which will have its permanent home in the recently opened Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine.

The Maine Basketball Hall of Fame (MBHOF) will be dedicated to preserving the history of basketball in the State of Maine. Plans are underway to create an interactive display that will record the one hundred year history of Maine’s high school, collegiate and town team/semi-pro basketball as well as identify and recognize the outstanding teams, players, coaches, officials, athletic administrators, media members and other organizations and people who have made a significant contribution to basketball in the State of Maine.

“We are thrilled to be an integral partner in this historic effort to create a hall of fame space,” commented Mr. Daigneault. “The state’s rich basketball heritage deserves a home and what better place than in Bangor. Our commitment to the greater Bangor area continues to grow and we are delighted to be the founding sponsor of the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame.”

WBRC Architects and Engineers of Bangor has been hired to create the overall design concept. The Hall, located on the Con-course Level of the new Cross Insurance Center, will showcase pictorial banners until the interchangeable displays are installed later this year. Steve Pound, Chairman of the MBHOF and As-sociate Director for Workforce Development at the Cianbro Insti-tute, explained, “The Hall of Fame will display memorabilia and artifacts in custom cabinetry cases, and large, digital flat screens will allow the public to view and access information on anything Maine basketball. Anyone who has ever played, coached, offici-ated, or supported the game of basketball will find many ways to engage themselves during their visits.”

In addition to housing a permanent collection of Maine bas-ketball memorabilia, the Hall will feature rotating exhibits from every corner of the state. For more information about the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame, go to www.mainebasketballhalloffame.com or visit their Facebook page.

The First has been serving the financial needs of Maine people since 1864, with banking and investment management offices in 15 communities along the coast and in Bangor. For more informa-tion about The First, please call 1-800-564-3195 or visit www.thefirst.com. You can also find The First on Facebook.

State Troopers Go Pink!

Starting October 1st, Maine State Police are changing their license plates to custom “Breast Awareness Plates” to show support for the fight against breast cancer and as a reminder of National Breast Cancer Awareness month.

“The State Police are pleased to participate in this effort to honor the many lives lost each year and to promote the im-portance of early detection,” said Colonel Robert Williams, Chief of State Police.

The plates, generously paid for by the Maine State Troopers Association, will be displayed for the entire month of October before being donated to Maine Cancer Foundation for a char-ity auction.

“We deeply appreciate this effort to support breast cancer awareness,” said Tara Hill, Executive Director of Maine Cancer Foundation. “Over a 1,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Maine every year. Early detection and cutting-edge treatment are the keys to winning this fight.”

For more information about the pink plate program or Maine Cancer Foundation’s efforts to fund breast cancer research, visithttp://mainecancer.org/grants/breast

Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate Workshop Offered in Calais and Machias

Personal belongings often have special meaning for indi-viduals and family members. Planning to pass on such items -- treasured wedding photo, Grandpa’s fishing tackle box, or a well-used yellow pie plate -- can be challenging, and may lead to family conflict. This session is a step by step guide on what to do with your non-titled property (or yellow pie plate)......when you move, downsize your home or if there is a death in the family.

University of Maine Cooper-ative Extension Educator, Jane Conroy will lead the discussion in these workshop sessions. Free of charge. No matter who you are in the process (parent, spouse, child, educator) the

resources she shares will help families communicate, make decisions, and lessen conflict. You will be better prepared to bring up inheritance issues for discussion; prepare a legally appropriate list of non-titled property; decide what fair means and consider how to deal with conflicts before they arise.

Two sessions of this workshop will take place on Wednesday, October 23rd. The first ses-sion will take place in Calais at the Calais Free Library from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. To regis-ter for this site, please contact Kathleen Staples at 454-2758 or kstaples@calais.lib.me.us. The second session will take place in Machias at the Uni-

versity of Maine at Machias in the Science Building, Room 102 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. To register for this site, please con-tact Tara Wood at 255-3345 or tara.a.wood@maine.edu. The registration deadline is Friday, October 18th.

To request a disability ac-commodation, call Tara Wood at 207.255.3345 or toll free at 1.800.287.1542 to discuss your needs. Receiving requests for accommodations at least seven days before the program begins provides a reasonable amount of time to meet the request, however all requests will be accepted.

Mushroom Slideshow and Walk with Kirk Gentalen at the CCLCFriday, October 11

Kirk Gentalen loves mushrooms. “I’ve never met a fungus I didn’t like” he says. From poisonous to edible, decomposer to parasite, the Fungal Kingdom has entranced Kirk as long as he can remember. “There is something cool going on with every mushroom” Kirk explains, “and I want to know what those cool things are.”

After 20 years of leading hikes & sharing the fungal world with thousands of people from California to Alaska to Lubec, Maine, Gentalen is excited to be working with the Cobscook Community Learning Center for an evening and morning of fungal bliss. “Will be awesome, could be epic.”

The natural history of mushrooms and their role in ecosystems will be the focus of this day’s outing, but every species is differ-ent so “you can never tell what’s going to come up on a fungus walk”. “Having a group look for, find and really discover the world of fungus is a unique setting for a walk – and there can be discoveries at every turn.”

Kirk has lived and worked as a naturalist in 14 states leading Environmental Education and Ecotourism programs for kids of all ages. Currently he is as a regional steward and naturalist for the Maine Coast Heritage Coast out on Vinalhaven Island, and has led hikes for MCHT up and down the coast for the last four years.

The Mushroom Slideshow will be in the CCLC Commons building Friday, October 11, 7:00-8:00pm. Mushroom Walk will meet at the CCLC parking lot on Saturday, October 12, 9:00am and travel to Maine Coast Heritage Trust’s Bog Brook Preserve. Cost for the slideshow and walk: $35. Scholarship money is avail-able by calling the CCLC, 733-2233. Participants are welcome spend the afternoon at the CCLC’s annual RiceFest celebration. The Cobscook Community Learning Center is located at 10 Commissary Point Road in Trescott. For more information or to register, call the CCLC 733-2233 or visit our website, www.cclc.me.

CCLC to offer Guitar Lessons with Kelly Bryand

He has taught music in various capacities for the Maine Academy of Modern Music, Rivertree Center for the Arts, the Spurwink Schools, University of Maine Machias, as well as a previous stint as a music instructor at the CCLC. Kelly specializes in rock, blues, and jazz, but is proficient in various styles, and has an indi-vidualized teaching style based on students particular tastes and aspirations as a musician.

For more information or to register for music lessons, contact the CCLC, 207-733-2233.

By Dorothy Johnson

Baileyville is getting ready for the October Fest organized by the holiday committee. In the old days, we would leave the farm to spend time in Woodland for Labor Day weekend. I do not know who organized it, but we came to the carnival, the parade and the kids’ games.

When I came with my aunt and uncle, I would sit with her while she played Bingo. I was not old enough to play but I was allowed to sit. The prizes then were household items and toys and a winner could have her pick of the offerings. My aunt had her prize chosen before she paid her money.

When I came with my father

and mother, it was very differ-ent. For one thing, my father knew many Woodland people from bringing his farm goods to the stores, so he always found someone to talk to. My mother was not interested in Bingo; she was more interested in keeping me off the “dangerous” rides like the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel. Her next inter-est was in the variety of foods available: cotton candy, hot dogs, dough boys, corn dogs and the like.

When I first moved to Wood-land in 1969, the Labor Day activities were still in full swing. They were still having Little Mister and Little Miss Labor Day. Even now, some people remember when they were chosen for these titles.

In the 70s fewer people were interested in organizing the activities. Then during the 80s the mill managers lost interest in Labor Day celebrations so the idea ran out of steam.

Some residents kept trying to keep things going, but few volunteers could be found to help. The Spednic Club let the carnival use its field for a few years but it just was not the same.

During the past few years

the town’s Holiday Commit-tee members have resurrected some of the fun activities from the past to have an October Fest. Older residents wish it were more like the Labor Days of old while the youngsters have nothing with which to compare it. The problems are still the same as the problems that killed Labor Day fun: few people interested in helping. Still the Holiday Committee members and their supporters

try to hold on. They have put together a fun-filled, nine-day schedule of activities for young and old alike. All they want is participation from the commu-nity at large.

If residents need a quick recipe to ease the pressure of meals during the celebrations, here it is. This weeks recipe is for Cajun Sausage and Beans from the Fix -It and Forget- It Diabetic Cookbook.

Cajun Sausage and BeansIngredients:

One pound low-fat smoked sausage sliced into one-quarter inch pieces16 oz. can no salt added red kidney beans

16 oz. can crushed tomatoes with green chilies1 C. chopped celery • Half an onion, chopped

2 Tbsp. Italian seasoning • Tabasco sauce to taste

Method:1. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker (four-quart)

2. Cover. Cook on low eight hours.3. Serve over rice or as a thick zesty soup.

This will be a quick meal waiting for you after the big day, Saturday, October 12th.

What beautiful days we en-joyed last week! The nights are cooler, but the sun dur-ing the days shines warm through the hint of what is to come. I can think of no one who does not love this beau-tiful weather.

Maya Gallant enjoyed her 10th birthday with a birthday party at her home on Main Street on Sunday. Maya was surrounded by classmates and friends and many loving family members. The party was hosted by mom and dad, Michelle and John Gallant.

Linda and Monty Bohanon and family along with Polly Burlock will host an Open House held in honor of Ruth Foss on her 90th birthday on Sunday, October 13th from 1 to 3pm at the Odd Fellows’ Hall in Woodland. More in-formation will be available in next week’s issue of the Cal-

ais Advertiser.Sandra Anthony has re-

turned from a trip to Italy where she visited her daugh-ter Callie Anthony, who is serving our country in the United States Air force. Cal-lie has one more year to go on this posting and Sandra wanted to take this once-in-a-life time opportunity. They toured the area and took pic-tures of the Eifel Tower, the Vatican, Venice and its gon-dolas, the Roman Coliseum as well as doing sight seeing in Rome and Paris. Sandra had been saving for this trip for over a year and she abso-lutely got the most out of her money.

The Ladies’ Sodality of St. James Parish of Woodland sponsored their fall bazaar on Saturday. They had much competition from other ac-tivities and especially good fall weather so the ladies did not think their event was as

well attended as usual. They did sell most of their baked goods, elephant table dona-tions and serve delicious lunches including dynamites. The ladies were very pleased with their earnings. Jo Gal-lant won the oil raffle.

The Scholastic Aptitude Tests will be offered on Oc-tober 5th, November 2rd and December 7th. These are not the dates listed on the yearly school calendar, but they are the first Saturdays, which have always been SAT days. Seniors and their parents are advised to check with the guidance office to verify the above dates and to get appli-cations sent in early. Every deadline missed will cost money from now on.

Applications have been mailed to crafters for the Education Boosters’ Craft Fair to be held on Saturday, November 2nd. Crafters in-terested in having spaces or tables should have their ap-plications sent to the princi-pal’s office as soon as pos-sible.

The Lighthouse Jubi-lees will perform on Fri-day evening, October 4th at the Woodland Elementary School at 7pm. All proceeds will go to the Woodland Pub-lic Library. The ladies sing songs from the 40s, 50s, 60s and gospel songs. They were very well received last year and are looking forward to being in Baileyville again.

This same duo will begin the free gospel concert at the People’s United Methodist

Church on Saturday morning, October 5th at 10am. Their show will be followed by a free spaghetti lunch and after the lunch other area churches will carry on with the con-cert. This concert and lunch will be a wonderful ecumeni-cal celebration in our area. Everyone is invited.

The People’s United Meth-odist Church will also be sponsoring a Turkey Dinner on Friday, October 11th with servings beginning at 4:30 pm. This dinner is being of-fered as part of the October Fest celebration and anyone who is craving a turkey din-ner with all the fixings is urged to attend.

The Riverside Rebekahs will be helping with the Oc-tober Fest celebration by sponsoring their October breakfast on Sunday, Octo-ber 6th beginning at 7am. The proceeds of this break-fast will also be donated to the Woodland Public Li-brary. The Odd Fellows and the Riverside Rebekahs of Woodland have taken on the project of helping the Friends of the Library make up the $5000 deficit in their budget. Bud Kneeland has made them a thermometer so they can chart their earnings through the year. The ther-mometer will be displayed in their hall with up-to-date earnings recorded on it.

Big Baileyville happy birthday wishes are going out this week (October 4th through October 11th) to the following: Nick Howard,

Polly Burlock, Nicole Re-naud, scott Arbo, Anthony Battista, Real Roussel, Jake Hoops, Chad Gagner, Joey Arsenault, Eva Benner, Sar-ah McLaughlin, Makayla Sadler, Kim Cilley, Tyler Cilley, Weston Ranalli, Issac Cilley, Vanessa Kidder, Jim Oliver, Charlie McLellan and Ruth Foss. Happy days are wished for all of you.

Happy anniversary wishes are going out to John and Mi-chelle Gallant, Herbert and Charlotte Melanson, Charlie and Brenda Metcalf, and Jes-sica and Bobby Ferry. May you all have great celebra-tions with your family and friends.

Hellos are going out this week to Evelyn Olsson, Ja-net Johnson, Vivian Scott, Elsie Featherson, Bungy Scott, Pete James, Steve Croman, Lois Gagner, Irene Glidden, Janice Flood, Bill White, Gloria Leighton, Doris Gatchell, Marguerite Mains and anyone else who needs a lift. This week a very special hello goes out to Elaine Holland. Elaine has been very ill for six months or more and this past Friday she went back to work at the Tourist Center.

Stay safe and have a great week. Support the holiday committee members with your attendance at their ac-tivities.

What beautiful weather! After making apple cider last weekend we took the apple mash and placed it across the pond in what we call a feed yard for wild game. Within a couple days there were 20 wild turkeys enjoying the mash. Al-ways a nice sight to see in the morning. This past weekend was a great time for gatherings with our perfect weather and it seemed on every corner people were enjoying themselves.

What a wonderful gift to everyone interested in history. The Grand Lake Stream Mu-seum will hold an open house on Sunday October 6th from 2 to 4 pm. Each year there are many new pieces added! Come and view the many items, documents and pictures that reflect the story of Grand Lake Stream! Snacks and hot cider will be served.

The graveside service for George Hazen Bagley will be held at the Village Cemetery at 11:00 am on October 7th.

The school house project is almost complete and all reports say it is wonderful! Thanks to the carpenters and builders!

Come and enjoy a History

& Heritage Book Discussion: “Tales from Misery Ridge, One Man’s Adventure in the Great Outdoors by Paul J. Fournier, Thursday, October 17, 2013 - 6:30 PM held at the Grand Lake Stream Historical Soci-ety, Milford Rd, Grand Lake Stream. The Downeast Lakes Land Trust and the Grand Lake Stream Historical Society are pleased to host a discussion of Paul J. Fournier’s first book.

Paul J. Fournier was a regis-tered Maine Guide, bush pilot, sporting camp owner, nature photographer, videographer, television producer and a long-time official with the Maine Department of Inland Fish-eries and Wildlife. His book details his experiences and adventures in Maine’s Great North Woods and beyond. Readers will soar with him on his first solo flight in a Piper Cub, see how a master builder makes Fournier’s dream ca-noe a reality, meet brave fly-ing Maine Wardens on rescue calls, net some spectacularly large salmon, and take part in an historic mission to trans-plant caribou from Newfound-land to Maine. Tales from Misery Ridge is a collection of those and other stories from a

special time — and place.While having read the book

is not required, by doing so certainly prepares participants to take part in a more lively discussion.

The Grand Lake Stream ATV Club continues the ac-tive addenda for events to be held in October. Come and be part of these events!

Oktoberfest-at Chet’s Camps-Sunday October 20th at 3:30 P.M. Bring your fa-vorite dish and beverage! The club will provide grilled sweet and hot sausage. We will have a campfire and the Lodge will be open. Get your raffle tick-ets and money to Linda Cur-tis. The drawing will be held at Oktoberfest. All welcome to join in the fun!

Club Meeting-October 24 at 7 P.M.-8 P.M. at the GLS school/Town Office building. We need two representations to ATV Maine. This will be our final meeting for the year.

ATV Maine and Club Insur-ance-membership and insur-ance for our club have been completed. Insurance costs are reimbursable from our an-nual ATV grant.

Trail Information Clarifica-tion - Passamaquoddy tribal lands are open for riding dur-ing hunting season. Penobscot tribal lands are not. As always, be respectful of those hunting and wear orange during hunt-ing season.

Thank you to all who have worked on trails, hosted events, and helped with club events this year.

“The spectacular early fall

weather continued through the weekend. Downeast Lakes Land Trust posted some photos of the fall color on Big Mus-quash Stream to their Face-book page at www.facebook.com/downeast.lakes. There’s even one of a close-up of mammal you don’t normally expect to find swimming that jumped onto the bow of Mark Berry’s kayak for a rest.”

The Grand Lake Stream ATV Club held a ride to the Waite General Store on Saturday. Joe and Wayne, owners of the store, treated the club to a de-licious grilled chicken lunch. It was accompanied by “grandmother’s potato sal-ad, cole slaw, and delicious fresh fruit shortcakes. The club appreciates the hospi-tality and business member-ship in the GLS ATV Club. An appreciation dinner for our landowners and supporters was held at Leen’s Lodge on Sunday night. Without access to area lands, the club would not be able to enjoy the beauty of our area trails. Thank you to the Downeast Lakes Land Trust, Woodland Pulp LLC, Wagner, and Lyme Timber for granting the club land owner permission to ride. The club would also like to acknowl-edge the local Warden Service and the Maine Department of Conservation for their support in maintaining the safety and maintenance of our trails.

The Downeast Lakes Land Trust’s (DLLT) Education and Communications Manager, Tanya Rucosky led intrepid journalers on a foray to Dawn Marie Beach at Lake Wabas-sus. Traversing a moss-car-peted pathway strewn with yellow footed chanterelles and reindeer lichen, the jour-nal writers braved fall-torpid garter snakes and moose drop-pings to arrive at the enchant-ed and secluded beach.

Sustained with shared cheese, cranberry bread and butter cookies, the group fell to writing, painting, and draw-ing. Conversation, charcoals,

and oil pastels were shared among the group. While Gus the frog-hunting apricot poodle paddled the edge of the mirror flat lake, journal-ers attempted to capture the luminous glow of reddening maples and golden ash.

Some journalers were shy with their results--watercolors don’t come easy. However, others demonstrated their mas-tery of the mercurial bleeding of water on ink. Some journal-ers applied themselves to ren-dering trees, more ambitious souls attempted to capture Wabassus Mountain, the still water and restful sky. Artist’s conk fungus, as well as paper and digital cameras were all used to depict the weather, the place, and most importantly the moment.

“We sat and talked, as much as drew or wrote,” admitted one participant. “But I got to know who I was sitting with in a completely new way.”

“Whether we are drawing, writing, or talking, it’s not of-ten we give ourselves permis-sion to slow down, look, and BE in a totally different way,” said Rucosky.

More journaling hikes through the DLLT are in the pipeline across the autumn and possibly into winter. Skill, ability and prior training are not required--an interest in and appreciation for nature are all one needs to get involved.

Have a great week! Your humble correspondent, Dave McCullough contact info: dmccull1@maine.rr.com or 207-839-4205

On Saturday, September 28th some of the members of the St. Croix Valley Interna-tional Garden Club travelled to St. Stephen High School to attend Charlotte County Blooms 10th Annual Semi-nar. After a light breakfast, the speaker, Des Kennedy, from British Columbia spoke. He was witty and knowledge-able about gardening. After a morning session door prizes were given out. This was fol-lowed by lunch and then Des Kennedy spoke and showed pictures of his gardens on Denmon Island. Raffle prizes were drawn and a silent auc-tion winner was named. There were also several vendors. It was a great time and we en-joyed ourselves.

September will be over by the time you read this and fall is definitely here with cool nights and mild days. I think

it’s a bit early to have Christ-mas decorations on display in the stores.

Happy Birthday to Con-stance Guerrette on October 5th and Brenda Donovan on the 18th.

Get well wishes are being sent to Mike McConnell.

Next Monday, October 7 from noon to 7:00 p.m. a spe-cial referenda will be held on the revised school budget pre-sented on September 30th.

Last Saturday the Robbin-ston Historical Society spon-sored a concert by Keltic Schmeltic. Everyone enjoyed the lively music which was followed by refreshments.

A large crowd turned out for the September 28th meeting on the revised school budget.

16 articles were considered. John Churchill was elected moderator. The article to au-thorize the extension of the discount period to be 30 days after taxes are committed passed. Article three elicited several comments. The expen-diture included money to pay health insurance premiums for school employees. Currently each employee has 100% and the spouse is covered by only 80%. There is only one insurer in the state that is approved by the Insurance Commissioner. The article passed. Article 15 was approved by a secret bal-lot, winning 32 yes to 28 no. The meeting closed at 8:30 p.m. If you need an absentee ballot for October 7th, contact the town clerk immediately.

In the early 1900’s a fellow named Kelley-first name unknown- had a small pony and pony cart. He enjoyed giving Calais folks rides in the cart. This photo shows Kelley, his pony and a passenger in front of the bank which for some years occupied part of the ground floor of the Opera House at the corner of Main and Church, now known as the JD Thomas building. (Photo submitted by the St. Croix Historical Society).

Before the old post office was built on Main Street in the early 1900’s the Post Office was in the Opera House at the corner of Main and Church Streets. Inside was the Postmaster framed in the window of his cubicle. The mail was often late as it came by the mail stage over roads which often disappeared altogether in bad weather. If you have any information about this photo or other photos or informa-tion you would like to share with the Historical Society please contact Gayle Moholland, Fred Becker or Al Churchill. You may also leave a message on the answering machine at the Historical Society. 454-3061

Sandy Lyon, teacher at In-dian Township, drives through the short cut in Alexander where there are a couple of farms. She discovered that cows like to be talked to, so when they have been in the road lately, she slows down and talks to them and they freeze and she can safely drive on. Marcia, Sandy and I drove into a driveway to admire some young calves one spring and when the herd of cows saw this, they thought “food” and came dashing down the hill towards us. We left in rather a hurry.

Violet Dineen was born on her brother Charlie’s birthday, September 28th. She is now three and Charlie turned 20. A double party was held for them on Sunday, September 29th at the Meddybemps Community Center. A large Disney theme bounce house complete with a slide was set up and the young ones had a great time in it. They took time out to eat cake and ice cream and to knock down a pinata full of goodies. Charlie opened her gifts while this was going on and then helped his little sister when she opened hers. He’s a great big brother and she’s a lucky

girl. There was lots of party hats, leis and balloons to make it a special day.

Cathance Grange met on Wednesday night with nine members and one guest. Char-lie (Chuck) Bennett. He is at his Crawford home while his wife Elin is recovering at a rehab after suffering a stroke last summer. She’s doing bet-ter and hoping to come home soon while Charlie is prepar-ing to spend a winter in Maine. He was a professor at Husson College for many years and is now retired. He is always a loyal Granger and willing to step in to help fill the chairs. He is always welcome. Justin Day won the CWA prize and John Johnson and Peggy Hal-lee the mystery march. Louise Lee had a fun program for the lecturer’s hour. The Master, Ralph Flood, gave the obliga-tion for the installation to all present. The local Granges are sadly lacking in Installation teams.

TOPS 256, Calais, met on Tuesday night with fourteen members present. They had as guests, the area Captain, Martha Nason and Past State President Corrinne Smith from Machias. She lost more than 100 lbs. and has main-tained KOPS status since. She has been struggling with Lyme

Disease for a couple of years now but has kept her sense of humor. Martha gave an inter-esting presentation to the class John Benner presented Martha with a portrait of her that he had enlarged from a photo that he took. She was also given a thank you card and a gift of money from the class. We will meet them again this Saturday at the Annual Fall Rally, a fun time, held in Brewer. After the meeting, nine members went to King China to eat and have a fun time.

Much sympathy to the fam-ily and many friends of Donna Little who passed away after a valiant fight last weekend. She will be missed by all.

Also Bob Olson passed away suddenly this week. Much sympathy to this well known businessman’s family and friends.

Get well to all those who need a kind word. Much love to our sister-in-law Jan-ice Flood, who is in EMMC, Bangor with a heart problem. We are praying that surgery will set her world right again. Rolfe has been staying with their daughter, Rhonda, while she stays there.

Alice Jean Robinson has been going by a bad patch and is also in the hospital in Ban-gor. Get well wishes go out to her.

Here are some October birthdays. This is one of the most beautiful months in Maine but leaves us a little sad as we lost two very dear sis-ters on October 17th and we never forget them. Vi Dineen and Betty Galligan, two beau-tiful souls! A big happy birth-

October is Domestic Vio-lence Awareness Month. The Passamaquoddy Health Cen-ter is sponsoring activities throughout the month in rec-ognition of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Awareness for community members and the school community. We

were invited to join the 13th annual Health Walk on Friday September 27, at 1:00. Staff and students participated in this two mile walk to raise awareness of domestic vio-lence and sexual assault. We walked in memory or support of someone who has been af-fected by this. Participants were offered a choice of a T-

shirt in appreciation of par-ticipating. Both showed the teal and purple ribbon which represents the cause with the date below the ribbon. Both have the Health Center logo on the left sleeve. The dif-ferences were the words on the back; “Support the survi-vors, remember the taken.” Or “Passamaquoddy Warriors, Showing our strength by pro-tecting our families.” Several more activities are scheduled throughout the month. On Tuesday October 1, there will be a purple tree lighting at the Passamaquoddy Health Cen-ter. The tree will remain up for the month of October as a re-minder of our commitment to

a community free of violence. October 18 brings a Color Run (5k), Walk (3k), and Memory Ribbons will be available for participants to hang on the purple tree. According to our Health Center, Native Ameri-cans experience rates of vio-lence more than two times of the U.S. population. One in three native women is raped in their lifetime. One in five vio-lent acts against Native Ameri-cans involves an offender who was a family member. The subject matter is not pleas-ant, but we believe that if we educate our kids about it, it is less likely to happen. We are fortunate here to have a com-munity health care facility that works in partnership with our school to keep us informed and educated, and they do an excellent job of it.

In sports news, Indian Town-ship took second place in the elementary boys’ division in their cross country meet last week with Calais. Amuwes Dana took first place for Town-ship, Terran Moore, third. Ele-mentary girls’ Shayla LaRoche took first place for Township. Junior high also took second place with Kelsey Jervis com-

ing in first for Township.The volley ball game with

Princeton at Township was won by Township in five games. Player of the Game was Audrey Nicholas. Accord-ing to the coach, they couldn’t have done it without her. Also, Lila Acheson was high scorer with 16 points!

Parents, it’s that time again for our yearly state assess-ments. The NECAPs (New England Common Assess-ment Program) are scheduled to start on Tuesday October 8th, and will continue every day up to October 21st, un-til they are completed. Most classes should finish within the first week and a half or so. Students should be well rested and in attendance everyday I can’t express how important it is for the children to be in school. NECAP’s involve stu-dents in grades three through eight.

In other up coming events, the Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled to open at Indian Township Library on Monday October 14. Watch for more news concerning the Book Fair. Until next week, stay safe, well, and keep learning!

Calais High SchoolQuinn Sluzenski

Last week was witness to many developments in the struggle to fix the Calais school system’s budget. The Calais High School cafeteria was packed full of concerned students, parents, and com-munity members last Tues-day night as the school board gathered to vote on which cuts would be made. Before they began, however, there was an opportunity for members of the public to speak about the issues.

Dozens of people spoke on behalf of the programs and po-sitions that may be cut. Sever-al community members spoke passionately and eloquently. A few elementary school stu-dents were brave enough to speak to the huge group of people about what they loved about their school. There were also several representatives from the high school. Senior class president Conor McCad-den and student council rep-resentative Dominic Gayton both made thought-provoking points concerning how the budget deficit was being han-dled. Conor invited all of the students in the room to stand, creating a powerful image of the students and their determi-nation to fight for their school.

Part-time senior Katy Tickle

spoke about the probable nega-tive effects from the cuts. Stu-dent council president Jordan Hatch read a letter from the senior class president of the class of 2012, Rachel Cundiff. It outlined all of the benefits she had received and lessons she had learned from extra-curricular activities.

Senior class treasurer Matt Bridges spoke on behalf of the senior class officers about the monetary benefits of ex-tra-curricular activities. The officers, led by vice-president Kate Cundiff, recently con-ducted an anonymous survey in which they asked students whether they would consider transferring schools if all ac-tivities were cut. Over forty tuition-paying students said they would like to transfer, which would create a large fi-nancial loss on top of the con-sequences that cannot be eas-ily quantified.

Everyone at Calais High School would like to express deep pride and appreciation for the students who attended the school board meeting. The students who spoke represent-ed Calais with confidence and grace, reminding everyone in the room what they’re fighting for. They, along with every-one else that spoke, convinced the school board that the best course of action would be to

table the cuts and speak again with the city council.

With a renewed sense of hope, students and commu-nity members attended the city council meeting last Thurs-day. During this meeting, the city council made some great strides with the budget. Al-though the struggle is far from over, there has been progress. Soon the final decisions will be made. Until then, we will continue to fight and hope for the best.

While this has been going on, some very important elections have taken place. The fresh-man class chose their officers last week. Congratulations to Jack Lander, president; Halen Harris, vice-president; Riley Sluzenski, treasurer; Greg Mitchell, secretary; and Jarod Marshall, Kobey Gillespie, and Joey Harding, student council representatives. The student council also selected their executive board. Presi-dent is Jordan Hatch, vice-president is Conor McCadden, secretary is Dominic Gayton and treasurer is Taylorae Cart-er. Congratulations again to everyone. At a time like this, our student representatives are more important than ever. We are confident that these people, as well as the rest of our student leaders, will do an excellent job.

The Dragon’s DenCamille Howard

Welcome, readers from near and far, to the Dragon’s Den! We’ve got lots of exciting news to talk about, so lets get our shovels and dig right in.

The Student Council began their first community service project this week: a food drive. Students are trying to fill the lobby with food and supplies for lesser fortunate community members. We’re off to a slow start, but we’ve still got a week to go! Lets pick up the pace, students!

On Tuesday, several juniors and seniors headed to UMO to try and find out where they want to go to further their edu-cation. A college fair was held, with colleges from all over the

US and Canada telling students what they had to offer. Many students from WHS now have an idea of where they’re headed after graduation day.

The officers of the Jobs for Maine Graduates Career asso-ciation headed to Rome, Maine on Thursday for two days of team building competition. They competed against other JMGs from all over the state, and even came away with a few wins. This brings our JMG of-ficers closer together and helps them work more as a team.

On Saturday, the National Honors Society held their long awaited Dragon’s BreAth 5k. Runners from all over the state came out to run or walk the 3.1 miles in support of our NHS. Thank you to all of the runners

for participating, as well as all the businesses who sponsored the run.

That wraps it up for this week at WHS. We’ll have more news for you next week. Until then, thanks for checking in.

Asbestos NotificationCalais School Department

September 30, 2013To Staff, Parents, Students and Others

Asbestos is an issue we have been dealing with for many years. The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (referred to as AHERA) was enacted to determine the extent of and develop solutions for any problems schools may have with asbestos.

The notification letter, education and training of our employees, a set of plans and procedures designed to minimize the disturbance of the asbestos containing materials, and plans for regular surveillance of the asbestos-containing materials are part of our efforts to meet government regulations (AHERA). Our building must be inspected every three (3) years. The most recent three year inspection for our district was completed in June 2012. It indicated that all asbestos containing materials are being maintained to prevent any threat to students, staff, and visitors to our schools.

A copy of the asbestos management plan is available for your inspection in our administrative offices during regular office hours. Peter Foster is our Asbestos Program Manager and all inquiries regarding the plan should be directed to him. He can be contacted by phone at 207-454-2000.

It is our intent to comply with federal, state, and local regulations in this area. We plan on taking whatever steps are necessary to insure your children, employees, and visitors have a healthy and safe environment in which to learn and work.

PrincetonSharon Norman

Princeton people were sad-dened this week upon hearing of Pam Leighton’s passing. Her husband John has been an active member of the com-munity serving as a selectman; many years as the chair of the selectmen. At Pam’s Family Benefit supper over the week-end once again generosity was very evident. Some very close friends and family members devoted many hours to make sure the spaghetti dinner and auction was a huge success. The Princeton Rod & Gun Club was filled to capacity with an estimated two hundred plus showing just how much they care. The generous do-nations were abundant; once again proving everyone giving a little adds up to a lot. Pam was a 1968 Princeton High School graduate. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to John and his family.

News from the Princeton Library: The Autism Society of Maine generously donated several books to the Princeton Library. The donations include two books on making friends for young children to read or have read to them. There are two biographies: one the story

of the journey of a young man who was diagnosed as autis-tic at age four and has now completed his PhD; the other written by a couple telling the story of raising a child with an autism diagnosis. The other books in the donation are more clinical, but very well written and quite easy to read and un-derstand. The town appreciates this great reference addition to the library. The library contin-ues to receive donations from individuals. This week the Woodland librarian delivered several boxes of books to the library as they were duplicates of material already on their shelves.

News from the Princeton Baptist Church: The Ladies Bible Study begins on Tues-day, Oct. 8th at 6:30 p.m. at the church. The ladies will be studying the book of Mark and receiving an introduction to the study and study materials that evening. All are welcome. Please call Bobbi at 796-2074 or Brooke at 214-2089 for more information.

Also, the librarian noted information is available on a program called Tuitionbreak. This program is for Maine res-idents who are interested in a degree program not offered by

Maine’s public colleges; one can enroll in a program at a public college in any one of the five New England states. If a library patron prefers to check out the possibilities with this program on line, information can be found at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak. The phone number is 617-357-9620 or e-mail address: tuitionbreak@nebhe.org, also.

Ms. Mitchell also reports that Sue Mahar, Outreach Co-ordinator at St. Croix Regional Family Health Center deliv-ered a brochure to the library titled “What do new health in-surance options mean for ME and you”? The brochure lists several contacts for more in-formation, including computer web sites. Sue and other staff members at the St. Croix Re-gional Family Health Center can help with questions. Li-brary patrons may use the li-brary computers to search this information on line as well.

The Sunrise Christian Church launched a 4 week mis-sion initiative called “Christ-mas in October”. At the end of October a gift will be sent that arrives in the hands of mission-aries in time to benefit their families for Christmas. After church a picnic was hosted by Kristie and Brad Richards at their home on West Princeton. Brad Potter’s early cider press was put to some fun use for all those that attended. Next week guest speaker Paul Spea-rin from the Bangor Advent Christian church will share a message.

Remember that Princeton El-ementary School’s Open House is Oct 3 from 5-6:00 p.m. It is a time to meet and greet. How-ever, if parents wish to discuss how their child is doing per-sonal meetings will be sched-uled. Mrs. Deacon will be in charge of the Book Fair which will be held in the health room. PTO will be sponsoring a raf-fle, but parents must visit their child’s classroom to receive their tickets.

Local Doctor Attends Eye Seminar

Dr. George Taylor, a local optometrist attended the “Con-tact Lens Innovations Seminar” at The Vision Care Institute in Jacksonville, Florida recently. The seminar featured noted speakers discussing topics such as improving doctor/patient communications, fitting young patients with contact lenses, ultraviolet light protection and contact lenses, and the manu-facturing technology behind the latest contact lenses for astigmatism.

Eye doctors having special in-terest in the latest innovations in contact lenses come from across the country and from around the world to participate in the courses offered exclusively at The Vision Care Institute.

Dr. Taylor enjoys prescribing all types on contact lenses.

He is available for consulta-tion at his office, Calais Family Eye Care, on North Street in Calais.

Flu Shots Available for Calais Middle/High School Students

The Blue Devil Health Cen-ter, in collaboration with the Calais Regional Hospital, will offer flu shots to students and

staff free of charge during the week of October 23rd. Per-mission slips will be sent home with students and will need to be returned prior to October 21.

Maine CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. While there are many different flu viruses, the flu vac-cine protects against the three main flu strains that research

indicates will cause the most illness during the flu season. The vaccine can protect you from getting sick from these three viruses or it can make your illness milder if you get a different flu virus. In addition, everyday preventive steps like frequent hand washing can de-crease your child’s chances of getting the flu.

For further information, con-tact school nurse Ann Skriletz at 454-8262.
