Calais Welcomes First Full-time Female Police OfficerBy Jayna Smith

The Calais Police Depart-ment recently welcomed a new addition to its force. Roliza DeWitt, an Eastport native, has become the first ever full-time female officer in the history of the department. Officer De-Witt came on board part-time in September and soon thereafter, successfully completed instruc-tion at the police academy.

Prior to working for the Calais Police Department, Of-ficer DeWitt received gainful experience while employed at Washington County Jail. There, she held a position of a corrections officer, which al-lowed her to quickly learn great mediation and interpersonal skills with the diverse popula-tion. Additionally, working with troubled youth tops her resume, and it is the youth, she says, that she would like to put some focus on.

“I hope to do more with the kids,” she said, describing a de-sire to be more visible to them, as well as a role model. Officer DeWitt also is looking forward

to making a positive impact in the community as a whole while helping those in need.

Realizing that being a female officer is a change for the city, Officer DeWitt hopes that citizens will see her first as a police officer, rather than bas-ing their expectations on her gender and her small stature. “I want people to take me seri-ously,” she said, and her small size certainly should not influ-ence one’s perception of her competency.

Officer DeWitt has been athletic all her life, demonstrat-ing competitiveness and ath-leticism on the court and on the field while a student at Shead High School. And now as a 20-something year old, she still remains active, most recently playing softball and basketball competitively through the Cal-ais Recreation Department’s women’s leagues. Thus, her strong physical capabilities, coupled with her communica-tion and mediation skills, will surely prove that the young, small-framed female should not be disregarded.

Officer Dewitt is looking forward to the ongoing learning she will experience by being part of the Calais Police De-partment. Additionally, at the end of next summer, she will begin the basic law enforce-ment training program. “I am going to the full-time, 18-week academy in August,” she said, explaining that this instruction is a residential program that is run twice a year at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in Vassalboro.

Much support and encour-agement has already been given to the new officer, not only from her fellow officers at the Calais Police Department, but also from those at the surround-ing departments of Eastport and Baileyville. She said she has also received an overwhelming number of positive well-wishes from many of the city’s citizens whom she serves.

The police force in Calais currently consists of eight full-time, including Chief David Randall, and six part-time of-ficers.

Braxton Hicks contrac-tions—infrequent, irregular, and typically painless--often lead to pregnant women rush-ing to the hospital with hopes of bringing their precious baby into the world. That was the case with Cassandra Socobasin just two weeks ago.

Experiencing what she thought were true contrac-tions, she and her fiancé Eric Newell drove from their home in Indian Township to Calais Regional Hospital. After an examination, it was determined that the baby—Cassandra’s second—was not ready. Cas-sandra and her unborn baby were deemed healthy and sent home.

The following week, Cas-sandra once again began ex-periencing the same type of uncomfortableness she had felt

Eric, Jr. is recognized as Calais Regional Hospital’s first baby for 2014. He is pictured with his parents Cassandra Socobasin and Eric Newell.

Calais Regional Hospital New Year’s Babythe week prior. Not wanting to rush to the hospital only to be told again that everything was fine and the baby was not ready, she decided—as many pregnant women do—to rest at home. After all, the baby was not due until January 29th.

By the time night had set in, Cassandra still was ex-periencing what she initially thought were strong Braxton Hicks contractions. She tried to continue resting while Eric comforted her with frequent checks and reassuring words. A few hours later, however, things had progressed quickly. Cassandra knew the couple needed to get to the hospital as the baby’s head had dropped to the point where she could eas-ily feel it. She explained, “I actually felt him drop and told Eric, ‘We need to go NOW!’”

At this point, the realization (continued on page 2)

Cobscook Community High School Program set in with both Cassandra and Eric, along with lots of adrena-line. Eric frantically gathered Cassandra’s overnight bag and searched for the now sud-denly-misplaced car keys, and finally prepared to drive her to Calais Regional Hospital. He called 911 to alert them of their situation and was instructed to travel in an ambulance, a deci-sion he is glad he made.

Eric drove to the Indian Township Ambulance base. Because he had already called 911, the ambulance crew was ready to roll. “The Township’s (ambulance crew’s) response time was insanely awesome,” Eric said. “It was three to five minutes (after the call to 911) and we were heading to the hospital.”

Nearly half way through the route, on Bailey Hill in Baileyville, the ambulance team made a quick stop to al-low Paramedic Scott Homsted onboard to assist EMT Darren McGovern. And by the time they reached Baring, Cassan-dra rolled over onto her back and the baby was ready—so ready in fact, that he did not wait. At 2:36 a.m. on January 10th, in an ambulance in the vicinity of Knock on Wood and the Charlotte Road, the 5 pound 6.6 ounce little one was born.

Only minutes later, Cas-sandra was once again at Cal-ais Regional Hospital. This time, she was accompanied by her dark skinned, dark haired newborn son who was deemed healthy, as was Cassandra. In addition to his exciting arrival, little Eric, Jr. is recognized as Calais Regional Hospital’s first baby of 2014.

Calais School Committee Addresses Confusion Over Cancellation Notices

By Gwen Clark

The Calais School Com-mittee held their first meeting for the year 2014 on Tuesday evening January 7 at the High School Library. Confu-sion over announcements of school cancellations was one of the first items addressed at the meeting. With the school cancellation announcements of AOS 77 and Union 106, a lot of parents assumed that Calais had been cancelled as well during the storms last week. Superin-tendent Laser has since notified

the public that Calais School separate entity and will be an-nounced as so when they are cancelled. The bus company felt that the roads were safe for the students in Calais to attend the schools during one of those days. School Board Chairman John Hill stated: “I’ve talked with Dr. Laser today and if they cancel down that way, then we need to cancel too for the simple reason that we have tuition kids and this and that and the busing is a weird situation right now . We have the same buses as they have

and just because Dick Stevens says its okay to drive, it doesn’t mean it’s okay for our kids to go to school. The worst thing about it is that it’s not always the snow, it’s the temperature too and a lot of parents don’t have that capability of pick-ing those kids up and bringing them to school. They have the capability of sticking them on the road and waiting for the bus to come. I don’t want to see any kid on the road when its ten below zero, and with limbs fall-ing. It could be twenty below. I don’t care what any teacher

or anybody else say. Again its all for the safety of the kids.” Communication is going to be set up with Superintendent Underwood so that when one cancels the other will know as well as keeping in contact with Superintendent Kane in Woodland.

There is no Union 106 but it is used as an identifier to the surrounding communities for public announcements. It’s a convenience for them. Notices of the announcements were

sent out to all Calais Elemen-tary Students and notices will be given to students that have signed up for text alerts from WABI and Channel 2 to drop those text alerts and E-mails and sign up for the Calais Schools instead of the AOS 77 or Union 106. The high school will send out notices as well concerning the cancellations policy and announcements.

There was a bus issue with the heat on them . There are

governors on the buses that will shut down after a certain time.

Chairman Hill said: “One of our athletic people got on a bus and it was very cold. This is winter, I want the computer back on the buses. I want them to program that so that they do not shut down. So when snow is flying and there is cold air out, I want those buses warm. In the fall and in the spring I can understand having those governors on and shutting them down, but as far as the winter is concerned I don’t care if they are running for sixteen hours, I want those buses warm.” According to Superintendent Laser those governors being installed is a law. That par-ticular bus the governor was malfunctioning and will be addressed.

The Superintendent’s Update included the completion of the central office basement with about $5,000 maintenance funds to bring it up to code and use for storage of records and files plus computer services. The Maine Municipal Associa-tion Loss Control Supervisor, Ann Schneider will be visiting on January 22, 2014 to inspect in safety issues that could result in Workers Compensation. A suggestion by Chairman Hill that in the future that LED Lights be used to replace the ones on the road to the high school. City Councilor Marcia Rogers brought up the idea that there may be a need for a safety or street light at the intersection of Garfield and North Street with the elementary school so close by. Safety signs have been placed at the elementary school due to the roof problem being delayed. The dona-tion of the twenty two new computers at the elementary School were acknowledged. Superintendent Laser praised the hard work of the custodians for keeping the children safe.

New Business viewed a pre-sentation by high school Prin-cipal Matt Clark and teacher Lori Ellis on the M.M.S. Elec-tronic Grade Books. It is a system that holds various in-formation about students and is a secured site. It provides

communication between the parents, teachers, students and administrators. An overnight request for the Academic De-cathlon for participation in the State meet in Portland from February 28 through March 2, 2014. It will be held at Deer-ing High School in Portland, with four chaperones plus approximately 25 student was approved unanimously. The approval of the Calais High School Business Program to be moved under the St. Croix Regional Technical Center and Technical Program basically due to the budget cuts, low enrollment and opportunity for other schools to participate. It is currently funded under the Calais high School program for the next two years but after that funding will be coming in as revenues. The program was approved.

The acceptance of the res-ignation of Tara Grey as Ed Tech I at the Calais Elementary School was approved. Step Up Day for the eighth grade was discussed. Some members of the group felt that a lot of the withdrawal and changing to other schools by surrounding towns during the past year was due to the drama surrounding the city and schools during the budget time over the past spring and summer months.

The first reading of Section A Policies involving non discrim-inations, equal opportunity and affirmative action, grievance procedure for persons with dis-abilities, harassment and sexual harassment of students, student discrimination and harassment complaint procedure, harass-ment and sexual harassment of school employees, employee discrimination and harassment complaint procedure, hazing, educational philosophy/mis-sion, school district goals and objectives, school system com-mitment to standards for ethi-cal and responsible behavior, tobacco use and possession, tobacco use and possession administrative procedure, school district commitment to learning results, and account-ability reporting to the public. They were all approved and accepted. Karen Hood was approved for hire as Ed Tech III to work in the library at the Calais Middle/High School per

Superintendents recommen-dation. The approval of the custodial evaluation protocol and the custodial job descrip-tion were accepted as well. Old Business included discussion surrounding the possibility of change to propane and due to the extreme weather the use of heating fuels in the schools have increased. Availability of propane and the rise in the price was discussed as well. The odor in the elementary school

has disappeared after inspec-tions, and extensive cleaning.

The sub committee reports were reviewed: Finance Com-mittee will meet before City Council meeting. Spokes per-sons for the committees are as follows: Finance and Policy Marcia Hayward, Building- Bob Greenlaw, Curriculum- Dale Earle, Negotiations-Bob Greenlaw, Audit-James Mac-Donald,, City Liason-James MacDonald. A rough draft of

the school audit was acquired by Superintendent Laser after several requests made to City Hall. Chairman Hill stated that “Anything that Dianne Barnes receives concerning the schools needs to be forwarded to the Superintendent.” Up coming scheduled meetings for the Calais School Commit-tee are January 21, 2014 and February 4, 2014.

Brianna Jack has many in-terests and is involved in a variety of activities in school and outside of school. Over all she is just an average kid. What makes her not so aver-age is her love of reading and

Young Reader Has Success With Maine Books For Maine Kids

her acts of kindness and com-munity service. Brianna was just seven years old when she began the Story Time after school reading program at the Baileyville Library on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30. Brianna is now 10 years old and stays her course on con-

tinuing her activities. She selects a theme, reads a book to children about that theme and does a craft activity related to the theme. It may be due to the time of year, a holiday, certain authors, or just a popular inter-est. The Tuesday groups vary in size and ages each week. She provides refreshments and sometimes special guest readers or visitors. As part of her intense reading interest she came up with the idea of Maine Books for Maine Kids, collect-ing donations of both books and money, holding raffles and other fund raising events in order to provide books to Children in Maine. Brianna recently donated books as part of the Christmas gifts for Chil-dren in Princeton, Woodland, Calais, Eastport, Machias,

Perry and Jonesport. She and her younger sister Eliza boxed up over 700 books for the children in these communi-ties. Brianna and Eliza are the daughters of Paul and Billie Jo Jack of Baileyville.

She has been able to bring two popular Maine children’s authors, Lynn Plourde and Cynthia Lord, to visit Wood-land Elementary School. Last summer she had a read-a-thon over the summer months and is planning one for this winter at Woodland Elementary School to earn money to bring another author to the school. Brianna and Eliza have made lots of friends by participating in statewide events. The two girls also dance and compete in vari-ous competitions. They both have won and held titles all over the state and through those competitions have been able to network for their projects. They have been poster girls for the anti-bullying campaigns, are Girl Scouts, participate in soccer, basketball, and baseball programs. In three years’ time Brianna has managed to collect and distribute over 1,721 books for children in Washington County and the State Of Maine. Her current project is looking for book donations to give to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital on February 19th. She has her own website on Facebook at Maine Books For Maine Kids. Anyone wishing to make donations can look to that website for information.

Washington County Sheriff’s Office Weekly ReportDuring this time the Sheriff’s

Office responded to 115 calls for service. 19 of those calls were 911 hang ups, 5 were mo-tor vehicle accidents and 8 were well-being checks.

Deputy Dennis Worcester re-sponded to a disorderly conduct complaint in Cherryfield. The parties were calm when Deputy Worcester arrived. No further action.

Sgt Ralph Pineo assisted Maine State Police with an ar-rest in Columbia Falls.

Deputy Dennis Worcester and Lt Timothy Tabbutt responded

to a loud noise complaint in Cherryfield. Several people were arguing and fighting all day. Warnings were given by the officers to quiet down.

Sgt Brandon Parker respond-ed to a male subject out of control in Milbridge. An adult son was verbally abusive to his mother and the mother wanted him removed from the home. The subject was taken to his father’s residence.

Deputy Gregory Sawyer investigated an abandoned ve-hicle on Route 1 in Edmunds Township.

Sgt Brandon Parker investi-gated a theft of gas in Whiting. Investigation continues.

Sgt Ralph Pineo responded to a possible burglary in Machias-port. A neighbor reported see-ing a truck and a trailer and two male subjects trying to gain en-try into a residence. Sgt Pineo arrived and spoke with the indi-viduals who were working for a foreclosure company and were in the process of changing the locks as the property was being foreclosed. After inspecting the work order it was determined that the workers were at the

wrong residence. Sgt Ralph Pineo arrested

a male subject in Lubec for criminal mischief. The subject was at a bar in Lubec and was asked to leave. Once outside the subject started destroying things. The subject was ar-rested and transported to the Washington County Jail.

Deputy Gregory Sawyer ar-rested a male subject in Den-nysville for a violation of a protection order.

Boy Scouts Left BehindDuring this week’s City Council meeting , it was brought to

light that 11 organizations had turned in applications for the 2014 Voluntary Road Tolls. The city ordinance limit is 10.

The voluntary Road Toll is a way for Non Profit organizations to raise funds for the upcoming year, and many organizations plan their efforts around this popular event.

It was decided by 5 of the councilors that there would be a lottery to draw only 10 of the 11 names for the tolls.

This “Lottery” was held on Tuesday the 14, and the Friends of Scouts 132 lost out.

This is a travesty. The Boy Scouts are a group of boys who learn how to become good community members and leaders. Scouts welcome boys of all abilities, and Scout Master Ray Smale has been the driving force behind keeping the group together. It is utterly shocking that a group that operates solely on donations , is now being denied one of their most important fundraisers of the year.

Perhaps the City Council could have taken more time deciding what groups were going to make the cut. After all, the Boy Scouts do not have a piece of the Calais City Budget.

I am sure that Mr. Smale will continue his efforts to provide a safe, healthy environment for the boys in this area, but it cer-tainly isn’t through the efforts of the majority of the Calais City Council.

By Lura Jackson The Calais Screen Printing

company has recently moved from its old location next to the Sherrard Agency to just down the road at 485 North Street (near the US Cellular office). The new building is much larger, and has enabled the business to offer additional services.

CSP specializes in image transfer, and has a wide variety of designs lining the walls that customers can select to have put onto their chosen shirt size, color, and style. Once selected, the design is put into a heat press and transferred in less than 10 seconds. Aside from the designs that are on display in the store, customers can put in a special order from a catalogue of assorted choices.

The store also offers custom-izable promotional products, including coffee mugs, key chains, pens, reusable shopping bags, calendars, bracelets, and koozies, which can be printed with business logos, special

messages, or family names (minimum order for most items is 50-100). “Customers can bring in their own sign or logo, or we can create it for them,” Stephanie Morrison (who oper-ates the store with her husband, Craig) says.

Craig and Stephanie have been running the screen print-ing business since around 2001, when they decided to switch their focus from sporting goods to customizable accessories. “There was a big demand for customized team names, so we decided to look into that,” Stephanie explains. Without any former experience in image transferring, the pair traveled to Seattle for to purchase the equipment and receive training, and they have been a fixture in Calais ever since.

The store is open from Mon-day to Friday, 10-4, and can be reached at 454-7272. The website offers a visual catalog as well as a pricing list at www.cspplus.net.

Calais Screen Printing Opens in New Location

On Wednesday, January 8, 2014, at approximately 7:10 AM, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of a motor vehicle crash on Route 1 in Topsfield near Malcolm Hill. When the deputies arrived, they discov-ered that a 2003 Ford Taurus operated by Dylan Porter, 18, of Brookton, Maine had col-lided with a 2010 Western Star operated by Kevin Lagase 39, of New Denmark, New Bruns-wick, Canada. Investigators de-

termined that Dylan Porter was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr. Lagase was not injured. The 2003 Ford Taurus was a total loss and the 2010 Western Star sustained damage to the

trailer portion of the vehicle. US Route 1 was closed for several hours during the crash investigation. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office was as-sisted by the Maine State Police

Commercial Vehicle division, Calais Fire & Rescue, Indian Township Fire & Rescue, and the Topsfield Fire Department. The crash remains under in-

vestigation, although alcohol, speed and road conditions do not appear to be factors.

City Council Discusses Procedure For Receiving CharterBy Gwen Clark

The Calais City Council held its first meeting of the new year 2014 on Thursday evening at 6 PM at the City Building. The Consent Agenda was accepted and approved including the pre-vious meeting’s minutes, Trea-surer’s Warrants City through January 9, 2014, Treasurer’s Warrants School through Janu-ary 9, 2014, Treasurer’s War-rants Water through January 9, 2014, the monthly departmental reports and the Chase fund for January of $150.00.

The City Manager’s Report confirmed the upcoming joint meeting of the Baileyville Town Council and the Calais City Council to be held on January 30, 2014 at 5:30 PM to be held at the Washington County Com-munity College in the gym and it is open to the public.

She also thanked the depart-ment heads of the police, fire, and public works for their work during the storms. The emer-gency shelter was activated for the first time. A lot of long hours were put in for a long period of time and public works is still dealing with the after math of the storm.

City Manager Dianne Barnes also stated: “I would like to suspend the rules. I have a couple of items that came up after the agenda, one came up yesterday; I found a Canadian Debt Collection Agency in St John and what I would like to do is to close out the Canadian Debt that we sent to the Thomas Agency that have been returned and send them off to this agency in Canada to deal with all the Canadian Debt. Their fee is 5% less then what the Thomas Agency charges. And then there

is some exercise equipment that Baileyville would like to turn over to the police depart-ment .”

Both items passed unani-mously with all six Council Members voting in approval. A letter was also sent in support of the Passamaquoddy Casino LD 1520 on the behalf of the City of Calais’ support.

The Committee Reports were as follows: No Finance or Prop-erty Committee Report.

Public Safety Committee Report, Councilor Dwelley stated: “The Public Safety Committee met at 5:30 this evening and had a report from Chief Randall of the review of the Domestic Abuse Policy for the police department and a re-view of an incidence response. Everything was in order with both those reports.” There was no public works committee report.

Councilor Howard reported that the School Liason Com-mittee would be meeting on January 21st at 5 PM before the regular school committee meet-ing at the school.

Councilor Mingo reported the Economic Development Committee, that the website was up and running.

Jim Porter stated: “We’re still building.”

Mayor Marianne Moore said: “So I guess our next step would be to determine actually what we want to use the logo for and all of that so are you planning on having a committee meeting?”

Under Old Business: The continued discussion on the library hours.

City Manager Barnes stated: “I’ve met with Kathleen and she has done some research on the

hours and I guess what we want to propose is starting on Febru-ary 2nd is to have the library open from Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM. Closed on Sunday and Monday and see how that goes.”

Following a continued dis-cussion on the snow plowing at the schools. The road up to the High School and the College is the responsibility of the schools ensued.

Councilor Rogers expressed a concern that her original point was that the snow removal , sand and/or salt should be the responsibility of the City of Cal-ais and had always been up until maybe four or five years ago. She felt that the schools should not have to pay the city for that service and supplies.

Tammy Ginn explained that: “I did talk to the auditors and its accounting. The school gets a portion of their budget returned through the compli-cated funding formula which I have no intention of trying to explain because I don’t under-stand it myself. But whatever is in their budget they get a percentage returned through the funding formula. If they’re spending it out, they obviously are going to get some of it back. It’s the same as us charging any of our enterprise funds. It’s not an expense that is covered by the taxpayer per say. It’s cov-ered by user fees and the other enterprise funds. The budget for the school department is reimbursed by the state at the funding formula, whatever that percentage is. The higher the budget the higher the rate of return.

It was my understanding that when we started doing that that it was a specific request and that

the city had to purchase extra salt in order to do that. I just know that we had to purchase more and in order for us not to over spend our budget, we charge them. It’s not all the same budget. It’s very different funds and it has to be accounted for very separately.

In the long run after the dis-cussion, Councilor Howard said: “I don’t see getting very much reimbursement on $1000 or $750.”

Councilor Nixon stated: “I just think its odd that we’re charging them to pay for some-thing when , I think that we should just pay for the damn salt.”

Councilor Nixon made the motion that the city does not charge the school for the salt. Rogers seconded it. It passed with all six councilors voting in favor.

The New Business items included roughly $18,500 in Ambulance and Water write offs. These would be in addi-tion to previous approximately $65,000 in write-offs. The write-offs passed with one op-position of Councilor Howard. A Public Hearing was set for Thursday, January 23 for an Emergency Business Revital-ization Ordinance to remain in place. It was approved by all six councilors. There have been applications turned in for 2014 voluntary road tolls in excess of the City Ordinance limit of ten.

Councilor Howard inquired as to why the Fire Dept/EMS As-sociation has requested a road toll and what their purpose was. He stated that “All of these other applications are from non-profit organizations the Lions Club, Little League, etc.” Numerous

responses from Mayor Moore, Chief Posik and Tammy Ginn that “so was the Fire Dept /EMS Association a non profit.”

Ginn: “They have actually, in the past, helped purchase equipment for the fire depart-ment and then give it to the city and the kids activities that they do and all of that stuff.”

Howard: “My only thing is, I see Calais has a budget, the Fire Dept. and EMS already have a budget. These other groups, everything they do is through fund raising.”

So due to the excess of ap-plications they will be put into a lottery to have ten drawn out for the voluntary tolls. Five councilors approved the lottery and Howard opposed.

Councilor Howard volun-teered to be the representative on the Washington County Council of Government. A street light request on Palmer Street was passed by all six councilors. The Sewer Com-mitment for the quarter ending 12/31/2013 was voted by all six councilors as well. The mid year school audit looks like it will be ready by January 15th as a rough draft has already been prepared.

During the roundtable, dis-cussions by councilors, Rogers inquired as to what happened to her request to have the City Charter placed on the agenda for review.

City solicitor David Fletcher explained the process: “There are two ways to go about that. There is an amendment to the charter which is what happened when we adopted the elected Mayor. They amended it rather than by a Charter Commission

or there is a revision Charter which requires a Charter Com-mission. The Charter Com-mission process involves any referendums that are presented by the Charter Committee has to go to a regular vote by the city. I would strongly suggest that vote would be sensible to do during the June primaries and that es-tablishes the Commission. At the same time as that, people can run for the Commission. Six people have to be elected by ballot to the Commission and the Council appoints three, only one can be a municipal of-ficer, so it’s designed more or

less so that its not the existing council reviewing the Charter. The Commission then adopts rules. You have to give them a budget. They have to have avail-ability of staff. They will have a public meetings and anybody with any ideas can go to those meetings,”

“The Commission will dis-cuss those ideas, they will hire somebody to put their recom-mendations into a written form. There will be public hearing on that and then it goes to the voters as to whether or not to approve that. It’s all set by State Law. Either you do it or you don’t. We’ve had two Charters in the past and this will be the third.”

Rogers: “Its been a long time since the Charter has been reviewed, 1976.”

Moore: “What I’m thinking is, once we get your memoran-dum and kind of digest this we’ll put it on the next agenda and decide what we want, how we want to proceed with this.”

Rogers: “The only reason why I want to make sure that it’s on the agenda so that the public knows .”

Moore: “We didn’t have anything tonight in hand for us to talk about it, so that’s why we didn’t put it on the agenda.”

Rogers: “ I would have thought that what David’s pre-sentation was right now would have been on the agenda.”

Calais Police DepartmentSince our last writing, Calais

PD has been busy with public service, alarm and 911 hang-up calls. As well, many harass-ment and criminal trespass warnings have been issued. As a notation to these complaints, citizens are advised that if they are being harassed on social media, blocking the offender should be the first course of action.

On 1/4/14 Shaele Walter, 20, of Calais was summoned for possession of liquor by a minor after officers were called to investigate underage drinking at a local rental complex. Ms Walter was also advised not to return to the complex.

On 1/9/14 Debra Kendall, 50, of Calais, was summoned for littering. Ms Kendall had previously brought material to the police station and after handling her complaint, the office located the material on the roadside.

On 1/10/14 Erica Allen, 27, of Princeton was summoned for criminal trespass at Wal-Mart. Ms. Allen has previously been advised not to return to that location but was noticed by an employee.

Several investigations have opened during this time. Among them are burglary,

theft, violation of protection order, harassment and vandal-ism. A total of 13 motor vehicle accidents have occurred during this time as well, many weather related.

On 1/7/14, Calais PD along with Baileyville PD and US Customs and Border Protection visited residents at 604 Main St., in Calais. Departments have received information of suspected drug activity at this location and did a “walk-thru” with CBP’s K-9 unit while speaking with residents. Management and tenants have expressed their gratitude in assisting in getting the facility drug free. This exercise was part of OWN, the ongoing ef-fort between agencies to allevi-ate drug use and dealing with our communities.

Washington County Children’s ChorusBy Dorothy Johnson

The People’s United Meth-odist Church in Baileyville was honored to host an open rehearsal of the Washington County Children’s Chorus on Sunday, January 12. Director Christine Guy of Machiasport founded this group in 1995 and since then the group has performed with the Chicago Children’s Choir, Bangor’s Heritage Singers and served as “back-up” to folk singer, Judy Collins at the Maine Center for the Performing Arts. They have also travelled to Luxembourg to participate in the 60th an-niversary of the Battle of the Bulge. The group is planning for a 2014 trip to the Burgundy region of France where they

will join a French Community Chorus for local concerts.

The benefits of singing with this chorus are numerous. The children get to travel, study his-tory first hand, be ambassedors for the United States, study Eu-ropean culture, meet new peo-ple and learn music and sing at the highest quality. This group, its director, supporters, partici-pants, is a tremendous blessing to Washington County.

This group carries a 501 (c)3 designation and depends on charitable funding to further its program. More information may be obtained by contacting Doug and Christina Guy of Marshfield.

The Calais Blue Devils are presently in third place in Eastern Maine C action sport-ing a 6-3 mark and trailing WA and Houlton. This past week the Blue Devils traveled to Houlton and fell behind early in the opener 17-9, and played midway to a 31-24 deficit. A strong 19-point third for the Shiretowners put the game away, as it finished 62-49. Kyle Bouchard continues his domi-nance in the East collecting 27-points for the hosts, Nick Guiod added 14 and Christian Crane 13. On the Calais ledger Tyler Niles earned 15, Kyle Johnson and Cordell Hold hit 9-each, and Nathan Newell added 8 in the loss.

At home against Class B Ellsworth the Devils took charge early and played to a dominant 57-31 win. Horace Diffen had a great game col-lecting 18 -points. Nathan Newell netted 11, and Tyler Niles chipped in 9 in the 26-point victory. Steven Mahon hit 16 for the visiting Eagles.

The Calais Lady Blue Devils has played to a 6-2-record thus far this season and are present-ly in fourth place in Eastern C action. Last week at Washing-ton Academy the Blue Devils led midway in the second and played to a 51-47 win over the Lady Raiders. Leading the vic-tory was Maddy McVicar with 20 and Paige Gillespie with 12. Whitney Porter and Logan Huckins had 12 each for WA.

In Houlton the Shiretowners became the first team to win over the Lady Blue Devils after they had two regular seasons of undefeated basketball. Calais led by a point after the opening stanza, but the Shiretowners earned a gradual edge over the next three frames captur-ing the 61-52 win. Maddy McVicar with 3-3’s paced the Calais offense with 17-points; Paige Gillespie hit 10, Mallory Black 8, Kaylee Johnson 6, and Olivia Smith 6.

The Woodland High School boys are presently in 7TH place in Eastern Maine D-basketball with a 3-4 mark. Last week they dropped two games to the Class C Narra-guagus Knights. The first in Harrington saw the Dragons

leading through the first half playing to a 26-19 advantage Tyler Cochran hit 7, Damon Lincoln 6, Toby Tomah 6, and Scott Boies 5. A good 12-point third and then a strong 21-point fourth for the Knights earned them the come from behind 52-45 win. Spencer Thompson led all scorers with 22 and John Batson added 13 in the win. For Woodland, Tyler Cochran hit 14, Toby Tomah 10, 6-each by Lincoln and Rhoades, and 5 from Scott Boies.

In the second game it was a see-saw contest that came down to a thrilling 54-54 dead-lock after regulation play had ended. In the OT each team hit three hoops, but the visi-tors gained the advantage and win with three converted free-throws, for the 63-60 final. Toby Tomah had a sterling per-formance earning 22-points, Damon Lincoln netted 14, and CJ Brown added 10. Bet-ter balance for Guagus in this contest had Kennedy with 12, Batson 16, Thompson 11, and Tenney 9.

Saturday in Machias the Dragons powered to a 63-46 victory in a balanced attack that had Damon Lincoln hit-ting 20, Tyler Cochran 12, Toby Tomah 12, CJ Brown 11, and Scott Boies 6 in the 17-point victory. Logan Wood led the Bulldogs offense with 24-points.

The Lady Dragons also had two contests with Narragua-gus. In the opener the C-squad powered past their guests play-ing to a 61-22 win. In the loss Nicole Hanson led the guests with 6-points. Ramsey led the win with 25-points and Kelli Kennedy added 14.

The second meeting in Wood-land saw a much improved performance from the Lady Dragons as they played the sec-ond half nearly even with their Lady Knight guests, losing at the horn 58-38. Julia Sprague had a solid night scoring 13-points, Jaycee MacArthur net-ted 8, and Grass and Brown chipped in 5-each. Ramsey and Young paced the guests with 17-14-points respectively.

ERNEST STAFFORD SCOTT

BAILEYVILLE - Ernest Stafford Scott, 87, passed away Jan. 5, 2014, surround-ed by his family at a Bangor health care facility. He was born April 1, 1926, to Ralph and Margaret Scott in Cam-bridge, Mass.

He grew up in Baileyville and was educated in local schools. He was a true pa-triot, of that there was no doubt. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy from October 1943-March 1947 on the U.S.S. Franklin CV13 as an engineer in the boiler room. He survived the bomb-ing of the ship-724 of the 3448 men perished. Nothing ever severed the ties that he and his shipmates had. His continued dedication to his fellow vets was always a large part of his life. Author Stephen Jackson and Scotty met at a ships reunion in Bar Harbor. His published story “Missed The Saturday Dance” containing personal memoirs of the men he served with on the U.S.S. Franklin is being used in a screenplay for the big screen.

On July 21, 1945, he married his beloved, Vivian Cox. They celebrated their 68th anniversary in July of 2013. He worked in Grand Falls in the generating plant, about 15 miles up the St. Croix River, for 40 years and retired in the early 1980s.

He was an active Brother of the Masons of Lewey’s Island Lodge No. 138 and recently received his 65 year pin. He belonged to the Legion Wren Post 23 in Baileyville. He was an active member of the U.S.S. Franklin CV13 Museum As-sociation. He belonged to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for 60 years. He was blessed with an excep-tional sense of humor which he possessed right up to the end. He was a great story teller and never failed to punctuate his stories with a pinch of humor. In retirement, he loved working “the farm,” tilling, gardening, and cutting wood. He was also very musically inclined and enjoyed “building” his spaghetti sauces and making his “Grammy Soups.”

He is survived by his wife, Vivian Scott; three daughters, Barbara Wheaton of Alexander, Phyllis Wheaton and husband, Jonathan, of Alexander, and Vicki Martin and husband, Lou, of Bangor; seven grandchildren, Wendy Wing and husband, Scott, of Monmouth, Leigh Busque and husband, Joe, of Or-rington, Robin Gagner of Hampden, Jill Moffitt and husband, Jason, of Holden, Patricia Clark of Bangor, Tim Clark and wife, Gina, of Ohio, and Karen Clark of Texas; 15 great-grandchildren; three sisters, Charlene Perkins, Lois Stimson, and Greta Leighton all of Baileyville; and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service in his honor will be held 1 p.m. Jan. 14, at the Peoples United Methodist Church in Baileyville. Spring interment will be at the cemetery in South Princeton. Gifts may be made in his memory to Maine Veterans Home B Unit, 44 Hogan Road, Bangor, ME, 04401.

By Dorothy Johnson

The thick, heavy crust of the snow this past week reminded me of my few successful slid-ing days on the farm. With crust that would support the weight of sledders, a maneu-verable sled and a good, long hill, Mary Morrison and I had our own Disneyland ride. My aunt and uncle’s house was on a hill and my uncle farmed the land just west of his driveway. Therefore, all the trees and rocks had been removed and it made for great sliding. If Mary and I started at the top of his garden, we could fly down his hill, take a quick right over a break in the wood line and stonewall and continue over McNutt land all the way to Mary’s driveway. If we were lucky and had good condi-tions, we could go all the way to the Johnson farm’s barbed-wire fence that encircled our pasture.

The trick was to stay on track through the narrow space in the snow wall and to survive the big bump that had formed in that space. Of course, to make things more interesting if we could swing left coming down the first hill, we would pick up another little rise that would give us extra momentum through the stonewall. It was a thrilling ride.

Picture us bound up in winter clothes like little mummies, tearing down the hills only to get up and trudge back up the hills. We both looked like the little kid on “The Christmas Story.” If I should fall down, I was stuck on my belly with both my head and feet in the air. With all the clothes I had on, I could not get up unless I rolled over, and believe me, it was not easy to roll over when all that touched the ground (snow), was my middle.

Readers will remember the way we dressed for the outside

in sliding weather. My mother insisted on those weird under-shirts and snuggles (snuggies), followed by a tee shirt, fol-lowed by a flannel shirt and a winter jacket. Bottom that out with flannel-lined dungarees, ski pants, stockings held up by a garter belt, then short socks, heavy boots and a hat and a

scarf. It was a miracle that ei-ther of us could move at all.

Still, we did not seem to mind the cold in those days. In fact we could stay out all afternoon and not complain about the weather. We would take a break once in a while to get some hot chocolate, but truthfully, going inside for cocoa was not worth

the time it took to get undressed and then dressed again. Those were the days.

For a recipe this week, I looked for a one-pot dish that would go well in the cold weather after a day of sliding or ice fishing or any of the other outdoor activities. It is for Tomato Beef Stew.

Method:1. Cut stew beef into bite-sized pieces.

Peel and chop carrots then peel and chop potatoes into one-inch pieces.2. Add oil to saucepan. Brown beef in sauce pan over medium-high heat about 5 minutes.

3. Add tomato sauce, red wine, water, carrots, potatoes and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.

4. Mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Add to saucepan along with mushrooms and peas.

5. Cook and stir for 10 more minutes or until mushrooms are tender and sauce has thickened. Remove bay leaf before serving.

This recipe may be cooked in a large saucepan or a Dutch oven. It makes 6 servings and is usually served with rolls or crackers.

Ingredients:One and a half pounds of stew beef3 large carrots (three-fourths cup)

6 potatoes (4 and a half cups)1 1/2 TBSP vegetable oil

2 C. tomato sauce3/4 C. dry red wine

3/4 C. water

1 TBSP instant minced onion1 1/2 TSP of instant minced garlic

One bay leaf 3/4 TSP dried thyme leaves

1 1/2 TSP cornstarch1 C. fresh mushrooms

1 C. peas

The device was known as a “tooth key” and can still be purchased on EBAY for about $100, certainly less than a visit to the dentist these days. Some were more sophis-

1850’s Dentistry

ticated than others but all were nothing more than a shaft attached to a cross bar with a fixture at the end for the attachment of a hook or claw. In the end the theory of use was simple- select the correct size claw for the particular tooth and attach it to the bottom of the shaft. This claw was secured as well as possible to the diseased tooth. The dentist would then, in one quick and violent motion, simultaneously pull and twist the “key”, thereby extracting a tooth, sometimes the diseased tooth and sometimes, as in the case of Dr. Swan’s account, another tooth. Mistakes were made because the terrified patient was often trying to escape from room at the very moment the “dentist” was attempting to extract the tooth. Dental manuals of the day recommended the “dentist” be assisted during extractions by no fewer than seven helpers, preferably black-smiths- six to hold the patient down and the seventh, a smithy who had already lost most of his fingers plying his trade, to pry open the patient’s mouth.

This past week brought in another ice storm that most of us faired pretty well. Oth-ers weren’t quite so lucky. Throughout Washington Coun-ty, residents who ventured out were caught in ice-covered roads that left many stranded or off the road for hours. Road crews throughout Washington County worked very quickly to the best of their ability to sand and salt roads. All news agencies throughout the state asked folks to stay home and off the roads unless absolutely necessary as traveling was ex-tremely treacherous.

On Sunday afternoon Mar-ion Hunnewell, Frederick and myself ventured in to the People’s United Methodist Church-Baileyville, Maine to listen to the Washington County Chorus.

How often does a person you have just met and don’t know inspire you? How often have you stopped and talked to such a person. I had the honor Sun-day to meet such a person. A 10-year-old boy by the name of Noah Tobias Carver from Beals Island who is a singer with the Washington County Children’s Chorus.

Noah is extremely unique and should inspire most of us who meet him. At the tender young age of 10 Noah has ac-complished more than most of us can imagine. I sat and chat-ted with Noah for quite a while and was so impressed with his early years and knowledge of the world around him. What sets Noah apart from oth-ers is the fact that Noah was born blind. However, this has not slowed him down in any way shape or form. Noah has already accomplished more in his 10 years than most of us could ever imagine. Aside from singing in the choir Noah has a unique sport that he has a passion for and every Friday night through Sunday Noah is already packed and head-ing out the door to head for Sugarloaf. Yes you read cor-rectly. Sugarloaf! Noah at the

age of 10 is a speed skier, and Alpine ski racer. At the age of 10 Noah has already skied ALL of the highest peaks of Maine’s slopes. Noah started skiing at the age of 3, and has a passion for the slopes. Noah will soon be entering speed skiing competitions through-out the state. Noah receives skiing assistance from Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation. Headphones and blockers as-sist him down the slopes.

Noah is also fully integrated into his local school system and is also the editor of his local school newspaper, The Bees Buzz. Noah’s motto is simple and so meaningful, “Don’t let things get in your way,” I am so sure that we will hear many more great things coming from this young man. Another passion Noah has is horseback riding. This young man was an absolute joy to chat with, Noah believes in making life happen. The spirit and enthusiasm Noah exem-plified truly inspired me.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mildred Burgess who passed away re-cently.

Until Friday, my yard, as well as several other yards around town, was frozen tun-dra. It was a death-defying trip to get to my KIA parked on the lawn. Yesterday’s warm weather and rain have removed much of the ice from the roof and the deck, but the trip to the car is still a test of balance and nerves. The experts are saying we will have a few sunny days. Those days will be a pleasant relief.

The minutes of sunlight are increasing at the approximate rate of one and a half minutes each day. That does not sound like much, but it has been go-ing on for about twenty days so it is noticeable. Today my overburdened furnace is get-ting a bit of a rest and I have heard other residents say the same thing.

Several residents started to Calais on Saturday, but quickly turned around and went home. The roads were very slippery and there were several minor accidents re-ported. The emergency room was quite busy.

The Riverside Rebekahs cancelled their January break-fast for the 12th. They have decided to skip the January breakfast. Their next break-fast will be in February.

The Washington County Children’s Chorus visited People’s United Method-ist Church this past Sun-day to do an open rehearsal for those attending. It was a

pleasure for the 50+ guests to watch while the children learned new music and to lis-ten while they sang some of their seasonal carols.

On Saturday, January 18th (weather permitting) the People’s United Methodist Church will be the site of the new and fantastic Chili Cook-off. We have seven self-pro-claimed chefs who will put their spices and reputations on the line to be judged by those who will taste all of the chili. One of the chefs was trying to bribe the judges with candy bars. But those bars have been confiscated. We will have no cheating for this event. January 25th has been designated as storm-check date if needed. Times for the cook-off are 11 am to 2 pm. Readers are invited to come and join the fun.

The Methodist Church is also planning a praiie service for Tuesday, January 21st at 6pm. It will be an evening of songs, fellowship and re-freshments.

Woodland Public Library is offering basic Microsoft Word computer classes start-ing Wednesday, January 22nd at 12:30 pm. Space is lim-ited so readers are urged to call 427-3235 or stop by the library to register by January 21st. Instruction is free.

The library also has many new Maine books or books by Maine authors purchased by the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation grant. The bud-get for the large-print books has been decreased by 50%,

but the librarians are getting a few new books each month for their patrons that need the large print. Readers are invited to drop in and check out the new selections.

Happy birthday wishes are going out this week (January 17th through January 23rd) are going out to the follow-ing: Vicky Grant, Jon Mohol-land, Darin Campbell, Billy McLaughlin, Karlaine Liv-ingston, Rodney Clark, Mi-kayala Hamilton, Charlotte Southard, Stephen Leighton, Acacia Emery, John McGov-ern, Sam Sprague, Cassie Oakes, Brandy Cehfus, Ei-leen Newman, Darryl Polk, Megan Woodruff, Austin Carlow, Kelli Harvey and Pam Cochran. A happy spe-cial day is wished for all.

Special hellos are going out this week to the follow-ing: Vivian Scott, Gloria Leighton, Katrine Howland, Gloria Smith, Janice Flood, Diane Martell Evans, Jane Sprague, Bud and Barbara Kneeland, Leo and Madeline Perkins, Avis McIntyre, Ruth Foss and anyone else need-ing a lift.

Stay safe and have a great week.

Imagine a Monday without some kind of a storm. It’s ac-tually quite balmy out. We are slowly retrieving our Christ-mas display from the snow and ice. They were covered with snow and then ice before Christmas. The snow drifted over some of them. The rain over the weekend managed to flood into the basement some but the sump pump has taken care of the most of it.

Carroll Flood who now lives in Texas has had a stoke and is now recovering and hop-ing to get his speech back. He will come home to round-the-clock care along with his wife Beverly. His daughter, Rosie, who lives in Georgia has been keeping close touch with him. Carroll is now 90 years old and up until this, only took an aspirin for a headache once in a while. A remarkable life. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

On Channel 3 Thursday morning, Kevin Manix ex-plained about water freezing near the surface of the ground and then expanding making loud explosions are causing “frost quakes”. This explains the loud noises over Christmas that we heard in our neighbor-hood.

I’ve been taking in my news early because of the Monday bad weather, so it’s been be-hind some news. Sorry about that.

Matthew Haddock came home from St. Joseph Hospi-tal last Tuesday night feeling much better. He is still going through tests. Thanks to all those who prayed for him. We believe it really helped.

On Thursday, we were sur-prised by a visit from our nephew, David Smith. He came over with Vince and also visited Justin Day. His wife Ja-net was with him but didn’t try to visit over the icy driveways as she is recovering from knee surgery so stayed at Vince’s. They are now proud grandpar-ents of two little girls. Some folks might have seen David when the Tractor Supply store opened in Calais as he was there to help with that. He has worked a store manager for quite some time at that store.

On Sunday, January 5th, there was finally a church service at the Meddybemps Christian Church. The Pastor, Joe, sang a solo “Mary Did You Know. Shortly into the service the power went out in Med-dybemps for a while so the Bible study had to be post-poned until this week. Pastor Joe is on vacation for a couple of weeks and Pastor Jeremy Towne is the interim pastor. He and his wife Jane oper-ate a business called Towne Fryer during the summer. Ah,

what donuts, which they have shared with us. Pastor Towne sang a beautiful solo at the end of the service. They kept busy during the Christmas season as Santa and Mrs. Claus visit-ed the area nursing homes. Fi-nally Bible study was held and the present book was finished. The monthly prayer calender was worked on. Please pray for Matthew Haddock and Eddie Ketchen that they soon feel better. Hilda Lord is now home from the hospital after a few days stay with round-the-clock care. The caregivers of all those on the sick list need our special prayers. Next week a “coffee time:” is planned for after church with three people bringing snacks. We hope for good traveling weather for Pete and Liz Trount, who are finally able to get in a Christ-mas visit with their son and family.

In looking over my notes from the last Grange meeting that was held with a Christ-mas party, I see that we had a special visitor running around in the overhead lights. I think that it was just enjoyed the heat, an adorable little mouse. Frank Green told that even with the rough year that he has endured, losing his wife Pat and ill health including surgery and rehab, he still turned around $500. into the fire department on returnable cans. There is always a prob-lem with some of them being stolen and some folks throw their garbage in the can bin that is set up down near the former store. Over the years Frank has donated thousands of dollars to the Volunteer Fire Department.

Our oldest son Danny

turned “60” today and a party was held for him at Marcia and Paul Wheelock’s. I made his favorite cake, German chocolate with coconut pecan frosting. He received gifts and cards. The girls sang happy birthday to him twice.

Janice Flood is now home and was able to attend her church yesterday in Woodland. Continued get well wishes to her.

Much sympathy to the fam-ily and friends of Mildred Burgess who passed away last

week after a long illness. She belongs to the Calais Ameri-can Legion Auxiliary until the last couple of years and I got to know her quite well. We’ll miss seeing her around.

big, bold lettering on the side, the owner declared “It Smells Like Money to Me.”

The Sunday morning break-fast group gathered at the Wickachee to celebrate the birthdays of Paul Crawford. His cake made by Joni and cake made by Lisa Fox for

Joni’s birthday. Cards and gifts were presented. A lovely party.

Things have finally settled down a little bit here by the lake. The lake surface is refrozen, after nearly 60 degree temperatures. We are back down to seasonable 20’s and 30s. The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day.

Continued get well wishes to Cheryl Bagley. Also to Paul Johnson who endures continu-ing health problems. Get well wishes to everyone else who has been under the weather with various and seasonal ailments.

Birthday greetings to Charles “Chick” McCoubrey who cel-ebrates his on January 16.

Despite recent harsh weather conditions, visitors continue to tough it out to visit family here. Mark Ketchen and his daughter, Agata traveled from Hadley, Massachusetts to spend some time with his dad, Ed Ketchen and sister Sally Ketchen. Mark is now retired, but continues to work a few days a week as a consultant. Mark will return to Meddybemps during January or February for another visit. Ed’s daughter, Sue Oullette will be in Meddybemps sometime during April.

Mark Ketchen arrived at his father’s home just as they re-gained power after the outage.

The Ketchens were without power and water for five days. However, Sally had everything prepared with stored water and lots of firewood. Their property also saw downed and hanging tree branches. “Greg Bridges trimmed some branches,” said Sally, “and the power company did others.”

Sally watched a fox from their picture window as it trotted through the Ketchen property toward a bird feeder. Appar-ently, the word is out among car-nivorous area wildlife that bird feeders are the place for a quick snack. We had a flock of Blue Jays at our feeder this week. Two red squirrels continue to show themselves now that the weather is somewhat warmer. They scamper from their hiding places to the ground under the feeder and back to hiding again. Perhaps they are storing more nourishment for the next storm.

I guess we should too.

Grand Lake StreamDave McCullough

It must be in the water! In talking with Grand Lake Stream folks it seems that this must be the home for new knees. It is great to hear that everyone is doing well as long as they follow the ex-ercise regimen after the sur-gery. Jenifer had a new knee installed this past Friday and is doing well. In talking with her doctor he said that his medical team office installs about 1200 knees a year and has for many years! I have learned more about knee sur-gery in a very few days than I needed to know. With all the care that goes with being a primary helper to someone after this surgery my col-umns may be a little shorter thru January.

The Women to Women group is working on a direc-tory for the town of Grand Lake Stream and nearby areas. They would like to include name, address, tele-phone number and e-mail ad-dress. They will be contact-ing folks to get information for this directory. This group is also planning a yard sale for early summer. They will be a accepting donations for this event. The women will be opening the Schoolhouse on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 to 12:00 for coffee, conversation and exercise. They are hoping everyone will stop to pick up their mail and come in to have a cup of coffee, visit with their neighbors and try out all the wonderful equip-ment in the town exercise room!

Greetings from the big thaw! Yes, as I write this the temperature is in the mid 30’s; a tropical treat! What that means to us here at school is that we can finally have recess outside!

The After School Pro-gram begins its next 6 week session this week. There will be some new activi-ties added, and our program now includes activities on Tuesdays. That means our program is now four days a week. Tuesdays are an early release day for ITS, so the time for the Tuesday activi-ties differ from the rest of the week. Activities will be from 1:15 until 2:30. Then students will be taken home on the bus. Activities being offered this session are; art, chorus, dance, books are fun, Outdoor adventure, reader’s theater, bowling, drumming, and ductivity. Attendance is important in order to qualify for special prizes/trips/raf-fles. Please encourage your child to attend.

Sunday, Pre-K was treated to a field trip to Bangor to see The Dinosaur Train at the Collins Center. Children, teachers and chaperones alike were enthralled. Because the trip fell on a week-end, stu-dents and staff had Monday off, which is a good way to incorporate weekend activi-ties into a school schedule.

Guest Appearance by: Mr. Chris Johnson (a.k.a. C.J.)

Calais High SchoolQuinn Sluzenski

Although it may be hard to believe, the school year is al-most half-way over. Midterms

will be held next week after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Although these large tests can be intimidating, there is a sil-ver lining-- there will be half

days all week.Some students are preparing

for more tests than just their midterms. The Academic De-cathlon regional competition will be held at Calais High School on Saturday, January 25. This meet will be practice for both the Calais and Wood-land teams for the upcoming state competition in March. Several members of the team will also be writing an essay on Tuesday. This essay will be scored by state judges and count for the essay category

in the March meet.Also on January 25 is the

SkillsUSA game at Woodland High School. All of the pro-ceeds from concessions will go towards sending Calais, Woodland, and Shead stu-dents to the Maine SkillsUSA competition in March. They will also be selling raffle tick-ets for a quilt made by Gayle Moholland.

For the second year in a row, Ms. Loper’s art classes are creating some very in-teresting decorations in the

hallways. These artworks are created entirely with colored masking tape. The students design their own and form them in locations all over the school.

The school year is picking up speed. Before we know it, we will be enjoying Winter Carnival, basket tournaments, spring break, and prom. We just have to survive midterms first!

The Dragon’s DenScott Rhoades

Welcome back to the Drag-on’s Den! While our usual famed reporter is away, we are still going to keep you informed with the excitement at Wood-land High School! After having one day of school last week, we were surprised with yet another storm day on Monday! The students have certainly enjoyed the start to the new year How-ever, with grades set to close at the end of this week, some have a lot of catching up to do.

The Drama Club is begin-ning to gear up as they start their preparation for the spring performance! Also lead by the same devoted instructor, the Academic Decathlon team is preparing for the regional meet that will be held at Calais High

School on January 25. Up in the art room, the Art Club has been working on circles. For those of you who may not know what that is, it is a circle, made of varying smaller parts of dif-ferent designs and images that together make one of the most exciting circles you will ever lay your eyes on!

The sports teams have also been very active this week! The cheerleaders competed at this years D.A.C.’s competition at Narraguagus High School and placed third. Now they begin their modifications and fine tuning practices as Eastern Maine’s are only a few weeks away. The Lady Dragons had two well played games this week. However, they did not achieve victory. The boys had a very exciting game Friday!

They went on to fight in over-time, and it was a thrill to watch, but the boys lost. Then on Saturday they had a pride boosting victory to rekindle their flame! The wrestlers competed in Dover-Foxcroft on Thursday, and both had solid performances.

Student Council is meeting this week to start drafting plans for Winter Carnival, which as usual, will be exciting and the best week of school this year! There’s always a lot going on, even with all the storm days the weather has brought upon us lately, and it’s great that we can keep everyone informed! As always, thanks for reading and keep checking in to see what’s going on at Woodland High School!
