Leadership the Focus of WCCC Graduation

Dylan LaCoote, Plumbing & Heating.

John Cowell & family, Business Administration.

The importance of becom-ing an effective leader was echoed throughout the 47th annual graduation ceremony for Washington County Com-munity College, held on Friday, May 13th. Graduates received their Associate’s degrees in sixteen fields, and many others received certificates for com-pleting work in related fields, as hundreds of friends, family, classmates and WCCC faculty and staff looked on.

“Whether you choose to be, or whether you have it thrust upon you, you will be a leader,” instructor Rose Binda said to the graduates during the Distinguished Faculty address. “You do not need a title or to hold a position to be a leader. The titles they hold are often ordinary: Mom, Dad, friend, and neighbor.” She shared a story about her grandparents and their restaurant and how they held the neighborhood together during the Great De-pression, and implored the graduates to keep their personal relationships strong. “The bond leaders build in community with others is an enduring gift sown in hope and with love, for it is love that makes all things possible.”

Appropriately, the gradua-tion ceremony was opened with a performance by drummers from the Passamaquoddy tribe. Passamaquoddy member and WCCC student Alberta (Bowe) Lewey explained that the song was a joyous song about com-ing of age. “It’s about honoring all the people in the house,” she

Missing Girl Comes Home Safe By Jayna Smith

Law enforcement and com-munity members were busy last Thursday, May 12th, searching for a girl who went missing.

According to authorities, a 15-year old Calais girl was reported missing by her parents early Thursday morning. She had not been seen since the day prior.

On Thursday morning, peo-ple were asked to avoid the riverfront walkway area so not to throw off the warden service's search and rescue dog with additional scents, and by early afternoon, with no further information on where the girl may be, many in the commu-nity volunteered to help search for the missing teen.

People were instructed via

social media to go to the police department where a coordi-nated effort in the search was taking place. Calais Police Department estimated "at least" one hundred people joined at the department and were as-signed specific search areas throughout the city.

Tradewinds Shop 'n Save was quick to donate water to those helping in the search, while Eastern Maine Electric Coop-erative graciously photocopied posters.

Many concerned citizens went door-to-door with hopes someone would have informa-tion on the girl's whereabouts. By evening, authorities had no leads.

Calais Police Department, overwhelmed with those inter-ested in helping with the search, then instructed folks to coor-dinate their efforts with one another so that the department and other agencies involved could begin focusing more on wooded areas.

Those in the community and beyond were relieved to learn that shortly before 7:00 pm, the girl returned home on her own. Police confirmed she was not hurt and had not been abducted.

The details surrounding where the girl was and why she had not contacted family or friends were not made avail-able. In addition to numerous concerned citizens, Calais Po-lice Department was assisted by Calais Fire-EMS, US Customs

and Border Protection, Wash-ington County Sheriff's Office, Maine State Police and Maine Warden Service.

Last month, The Calais Ad-vertiser also reported on a young male who had been missing since April 11th. On Saturday, Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported 16-year old Dallas Preston of Dennysville was found safe and was back home with his family.

said. “The children, the women, and the men.”

Many graduates relayed their experience at WCCC as one of coming of age, of finding oneself as a strong, independent person strengthened by their community bonds. Kimberly Stuart, in her address as Student of the Year, shared her story of overcoming personal and financial struggles to complete her degree. “Between the stress of school and the stress of my personal life, I didn’t feel like I could go to classes,” she said. When a friend told her she was “too smart to give up,” she pushed herself forward and made it through. “Through this experience, I learned that there are people out there to help pick

WCCC proved to be the ideal place for some graduates to discover their potential. For Gordon Cameron, who gradu-ated with a degree in mechani-cal technology on Friday, the journey began when he came to WCCC to find work in the Ca-reer Center. Instead, he wound up taking an aptitude test, and based on his results, he was encouraged to enroll in classes. “I’m so glad I did,” Cameron said. Last week, Cameron re-ceived the Instructor’s Choice award and was nominated to be Student of the Year. “It makes me feel really good that some-one would recognize me. I tried

really hard.”Effort makes all the dif-

ference, as each of the other speakers at graduation em-phasized. President Emeri-tus Dr. Bill Cassidy began his education at the Northern Maine Community College, starting in a manner exactly similar to Friday’s graduates. He called their graduation “an accomplishment that affirms that Maine people are willing to work hard to achieve their dreams.”

By working toward their dreams, the graduates of Fri-day’s ceremony have already made an impact on those around them, Joyce Maker emphasized. “You don’t have to be in politics to make a dif-ference in your community. Each of you have already made a difference in someone’s life just by graduating today.”

Pick-Up Trucks Collide

By Jayna Smith

Around noontime on Satur-day, May 14th, Calais Police Department responded to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Garfield and North Streets.

According to Calais Police Department, Chester Carter, 59, of Pembroke, was driving

a 1998 Chevrolet pick-up truck westbound on North Street. Todd Berry, 36, of Alexander, proceeded off Garfield Street onto North Street in his 2002 Chevrolet pick-up truck, strik-ing Carter's.

Both vehicles sustained "heavy damage," police said, with Carter's having to be towed from the scene. No in-

juries were reported and both Carter and Berry were wearing seatbelts.

The cause of the accident is currently under investigation. Calais Police Department was assisted at the scene by Cal-ais Fire-EMS and US Border Patrol. (Calais Police Depart-ment Photo).

Baileyville Burglar Turns Himself In By Jayna Smith

On Wednesday, May 11th, at 12:01 pm, Baileyville Police Department responded to the South Princeton Road after receiving a report of a residen-tial burglary. Stolen were two handguns.

According to Chief Bob Fitzsimmons, just ten min-utes later, both firearms were recovered at a residence on D Street. "A search with the Maine State Police for the sus-pect in Princeton was unsuc-cessful," Chief Fitzsimmons reported.

Later the same day, Aaron Neddeau, age 23, of Princeton, turned himself in to the Bai-leyville Police Department. Neddeau was arrested and charged with Burglary and Theft by Unauthorized Taking or Transfer of a Firearm. Both are Class B felonies.

Calais City Council Meeting

By Amy Jeanroy

Calais City Council met on May 12. The meeting started with a public discussion on the amended ordinance - General Obligation Water Bond. City Manager Jim Porter clarified that the city has to create a bond for the entire amount needed but there is a $50,000 forgiveness, which is where the difference was calculated.

Old business: The dock is in and sweeping

the streets is ahead of past years due to the mild winter.

Shattuck Road is going to need about 300 tons more hot top than was originally consid-ered, so the council will revisit the issue at budget time to see what changes need to be made. The roadwork will continue as planned.

Under committee reports: Councilor Mingo reported

that the Economic and Com-munity Development Commit-tee may have found a way to continue the ATV trail into the City of Calais. It was recom-mended that they try to form a group that would be able to approach the landowners and

answer questions that may help alleviate any concerns the own-ers may have.

The group also had a chance to tour the former information center and they were overall pleased with the building. There were some minor im-provements that needed to be made, but the building was in very good shape.

Julie Jordan has returned as director of the economic devel-opment program.

Councilor Nixon reported for the CDRC, saying that flowers will be done after Memorial Day.

There was no public com-ment, so the meeting moved to the new business.

St. Croix No. 1 Firehouse - the contractor that had origi-nally been scheduled to start the re-pointing of bricks had backed out. There was discus-sion that business owner, Gary Young, was interested in doing the project and he included a proposal for the council to review.

2015 Water Department Au-dit was accepted.

Dark Fiber RFB - It was ap-proved by the council to put

the Dark Fiber project out to bid. Councilor Howard stated that all that was being done is discussions. Baileyville is interested in going along with Calais, as this will make it more favorable to being eligible for grants to help offset the cost.

During public input: It was stated that the opening

of the Ellsworth ATV trail has

made a big difference to the businesses in Machias.

Calais Motor Inn is adding a new deck for dining. It will have an emergency exit on the deck, but entrance will only be from the restaurant. The deck will have a rail and trellis all the way around it, making it an extension of the dining area.

Law Will Help Drug Addicts in Rural Maine Rebuild Their LivesBy Rep. Joyce Maker

There is not one corner of Maine that has been unaffected by the opiate crisis. The ris-ing flood of heroin and other drugs across our border has led to spikes in overdoses, drug-affected newborns, ar-rests and broken lives from Kittery to Fort Kent and Lubec to Bridgton. It’s not just the addicts and their families who feel the pain. It’s a problem that affects all of us, whether it’s an increase in drug-related crimes or higher health care costs to treat addicts.

As a state legislator, I am committed to providing as-sistance to those who find themselves caught in the cycle of drug dependency. During the 127 Legislature, I was proud to sponsor a bill that will help rural Mainers rebuild lives that have been shattered by drug use.

Before the Legislature ad-journed, we took several sig-nificant steps to address the crisis. We increased the number of agents who will soon join the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA) and increased funding for drug treatment and education that is designed to prevent drug abuse before it begins.

Treating addiction is as com-plicated as the addiction, itself. What works for one person may be ineffective for another.

What we have seen tremen-dous success with in Maine, however, is peer centers. These are facilities that help addicts prevent relapses by providing on-site mentors who are also former addicts. These peers who offer their services have

common experiences and pro-vide them with a unique capac-ity to help their fellow addicts, based on a shared affiliation and a deep understanding.

The problem is that most of these peer centers are located in large population centers such as Portland, Lewiston, and Bangor. While addicts in rural areas such as Washington and Aroostook Counties may initially go to the cities for drug treatment, they have few resources available for follow-up treatment. What happens, for example, when one of them is having a bad day and on the verge of relapsing and the clos-est peer center is three hours away? Having one of these facilities within reasonably close proximity can make all the difference.

That is why this past legis-lative session I was proud to sponsor LD 1496, “An Act to Support Maine People in Recovery.” This piece of leg-islation became part of a larger budget bill that was signed into law shortly before the Legis-lature adjourned in late April. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to create three new peer centers, two during the current fiscal year and one in the following. Two of them, according to the law, must be located in underserved areas that are outside of Maine’s largest cities.

I once served on the Drug/Alcohol Committee of my local school board, and had the opportunity to speak with addicts who had returned to Washington County after get-ting treatment elsewhere. One of their most common com-

plaints was, and still is, a lack of local resources when they came back home.

We cannot write these people off and conclude there’s no hope for them. In 2014, 40 percent of those arrested for drugs were under the age of 30. These are young people who are in need of assistance, and it needs to be available to those who make the choice to end the cycle of dependency.

While this legislation will not, in and of itself, solve Maine’s drug problem, I be-

lieve it is a significant step in the right direction. It helps ensure that Maine’s rural popu-lation is not overlooked in the effort to help those who are struggling, against difficult odds, to rebuild their lives and become productive members of the community.

Representative Joyce Maker (R-Calais) serves on the Maine Legislature’s Education and Cultural Affairs Committee. She is serving her third time in the Maine House of Repre-sentatives.

Food for Thought Mobilized by Momentum

The momentum of the Calais-born Food for Thought program is propelling it into nearby communities this summer. The program concluded its Winter-Spring curriculum on May 3rd, and it is now preparing to host events in both Pleasant Point and Indian Township while working in conjunction with Project Launch, an initiative of the Passamaquoddy tribe.

The events in both locations, which do not yet have a date, will focus primarily on the topic of nutrition at the request of tribe coordinators. Like each of the previous Food for Thought events, a homemade free meal will be offered to all attendees, along with giveaways. An ap-proximately twenty-minute presentation will be given to adults about nutrition while children engage in a variety of hands-on activities.

Food for Thought began in January of 2016 as a result

of a group of volunteers in Calais organizing to empower the community through posi-tive, reinforcing interactions at nearly-monthly free events. As additional support from organi-zations and grant funds came in, the program found increasing support from the community in enthusiasm and attendance. While dedicated to families with children under the age of 12, attendees from every generation are present at every event.

The program on May 3rd fea-tured the topic of outdoor activi-ties in the area over the summer months. Guest speakers Colin Brown of Downeast Lakes Land Trust and Craig Morrison of the Calais Recreation Depart-ment spoke to parents about the numerous opportunities in the immediate area for kids and families to participate in.

Former topics have focused on raising awareness of re-sources and programs such as Family Futures Downeast and Washington County Commu-

nity College’s collaborations with Calais Regional Hospital and Woodland Pulp as well as milestones in early childhood development. Speakers have included Julie Redding and

WCCC Academic Dean Alex Clifford and past activities have included yoga for adults and kids, food preparation, and velvet art.

With participation within the community extending to hundreds of individuals, Food for Thought is making an im-pression with its commitment to strengthening the disadvan-taged. The primary organiz-ers, Helen Messemer-Thomas, Sue Clark, Gloria Hollingdale, Cathy Scullin, and Christine Morris, extend their special thanks to all the presenters, volunteers, businesses and churches who donated their time, talents and efforts for the first set of events.

Additional thanks are given to local organizations and state organizations for their dona-tions and support. This group

includes the Congregational Church, Methodist Church, Im-maculate Conception, St. James, Catholic Charities Parish Social Ministry, Calais Press, Head-start, St. Croix Technical School Culinary Program, Washington County Community College (WCCC), and Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry as well as presenters Colin Brown, Downeast Lakes Land Trust; Craig Morrison, Calais Dept of Recreation; Calais Headstart; Joyce Smith, Calais Free Li-brary; Julie Redding, LCPC; Alex Clifford, Sue Mingo and Dick Ramsey, WCCC; and Sara Williams Yoga Instructor, UMM Machias.

The series will start up again in the Fall with topics on “Nu-trition,” “Family Dynamics and Child Development” and “En-joying the Great Outdoors.”

The students pictured above were “Caught Being Good” at Calais Elementary School May 9 – May 13. The students’ acts of kindness were reported by CES teachers and staff. The students were presented a cer-tificate on May 16. At the end of each month, all students who were “Caught Being Good” are eligible for a drawing. The win-ner receives a free movie pass to the State Cinemas in Calais. Students listed from left to right: Dillon Craft, Alasdair Bulmer, Tristan Greenier, Noeah Col-lins, Oliver Clark, Aiden Gibson and Wyatt Ingham. (Submitted photo).

5 Reasons You Should Be Growing In A Raised Bed

Finally, we have some sun! It’s a great time to wake up your garden. At my farm, we are converting all of our garden space into raised beds. It’s a huge undertaking that we will benefit from for the rest of our gardening days. You may not ever have thought of growing in a raised bed, but I hope to change your mind. Here are 5 reasons that a raised bed garden might be the best decision you made.

1. Raised beds are so much easier to work in - Imagine not kneeling down and crawling around the plants all season. We may not like to think about it, but eventually having our gardens up where we can reach them is going to be a benefit.

2. Raised beds warm faster in the spring - This is a huge benefit, right? You know those seedlings that you started too early? Well, you can put them into the raised bed weeks before placing them into the ground. It’s also easier to cover your garden to protect from insect and frost damage when working in a raised bed.

3. Raised bed gardens have almost no weed problems. Because you fill the beds with your own topsoil and com-

Upgrades to Downtown CalaisJune Spay/Neuter Clinic Set at PAWS in Calais

On June 24, 25, and 26, the Animal Welfare Society/Cleo Fund and the Community Spay-Neuter Clinic (CSNC) will be teaming up with PAWS Brave Hearts to offer the first feline spay/neuter clinic to income-qualified cat owners in Washington County on-site at PAWS in Calais. The cost to the owner for their cat to be spayed or neutered and given both a health exam and rabies vaccination will be $10.

Since opening in 2010, the Community Spay-Neuter Clinic has sterilized more than 20,000 dogs and cats. According to Dr. Elizabeth Stone, chief veterinarian at the Topsham-based clinic, her mission is to reduce pet homelessness and euthanasia. The Clinic, says Stone, “serves low-income families who cannot otherwise afford this service and find the cost of this procedure a barrier. They know it is the right thing to do, and they know it will help with both the animal’s health and behavioral issues, but the cost is a major concern.”

The Cleo Fund is a statewide spay/neuter program located at the Animal Welfare Society in West Kennebunk. Like the Com-munity Spay-Neuter Clinic, the organization strives to lower shelter intake numbers and prevent animal cruelty through spay/neuter. The Cleo Fund helps income-qualified Mainers pay for spay/neuter services mainly by teaming with local veterinary practices and providing vouchers for use at those practices. In Washington County, which has the highest percentage of low-income families in Maine, the local veterinarians already make substantial commitments both to PAWS’ animal rescue work and subsidized spay/neuter through other available programs that operate in a similar manner.

According to Sharon Secovich, Cleo Fund manager, the Fund was the first organization in Maine to recognize spay/neuter as a means of combating animal cruelty and euthanasia. Since 1971 the Fund has facilitated the spaying/neutering of more than 45,000 cats and dogs. “People love their pets but often just need a little help with some of the costs of owning a pet. We want to keep pets in their homes. We are excited about collaborating with PAWS, which shares this goal,” said Secovich.

To reserve a space for the June event, please call the Com-munity Spay-Neuter Clinic at 207-721-8395. Some transporta-tion assistance, to be announced, will be provided from several outlying communities. Slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Garden(continued from page 6)posted material, some weed seeds may still be viable and germinate once they get in your nice, warm raised beds. But even those can easily be pulled up.

4. Raised beds also have much less of a bug and critter problem. Of course any flying insects can certainly find your plants, but you can easily tent them to keep off the egg lay-ing variety, and the crawling marauders don’t often make it up the sides of the beds. For us, this solves our ridiculous snail and slug problem.

5. Raised beds don’t be-

come as compacted. Since you are never walking on the soil, it doesn’t get nearly as compacted as it would in the ground. There is some natural settling that occurs, but add-ing composted material every year keeps the soils soft and friable. Much less work and much nicer results.

Overall, working in a raised bed has numerous benefits. You could use boxes, buck-ets and any containers that are food safe and have good drainage. The main thing is to just get out there and garden any way possible. It’s good for the soul and for your din-ner table.

Wayfinder Schools is pleased to announce the Washington County, Passages Class of 2016.

"This time of year we all feel the excitement and joy as our Passages students put the final touches on their school work and prepare to graduate,” says Passages Program Director Martha Kempe. “This may not seem like such a big milestone, but for Passages students it is a true journey that may not have happened, when they first learned that they were to be parents at such a young age. Their determination and desire to make a better life for them-selves and their children is what we at Passages get to observe firsthand. These young parents are pretty amazing. We could not be prouder of what they have accomplished!”

Graduating student Samantha Leighton of Baileyville says, “I've been able to prove to my children and to myself that no matter what life throws at you, you can work through it. Pas-sages honestly saved not only my future, but my children’s future also.”

Passages is a home-based high school diploma program for young parents residing in Knox, Lincoln, Waldo, Saga-dahoc, Androscoggin, Cum-berland, York and Washington

Counties established in 1994. It pairs teacher with students who receive personalized instruction in their own homes, allowing them to earn their diplomas at their own pace while rais-ing their children. Passages students receive instruction in 24 core skill area related to academics, parenting and life skills development, including everything from social studies and language arts to budgeting, nutrition and child develop-ment.

In addition to personalized instruction, students partici-pate in group workshops with other young parents and their children, perform volunteer work and must complete a final graduation project, or Passage to graduate. Recent Passages graduation projects have included studying small engine repair, starting a photog-raphy business and researching nursing schools. This year 22 students will graduate from across Maine, eight right here in Washington County!

“Passages and Wayfinder Schools has really made me realize that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to,” says Roger Brown, Jr. of Eastport. “They set me up so I could fin-ish school and create something of myself. It has brought me great opportunity and I took full

CHS Players Help Prepare Younger Protegees

Senator Angus King’s Weekly Column

Time to End an Unfair Tax on Grieving Families, People with Disabilities

It simply defies all common-sense that families who lose a loved

one or that a person who becomes permanently disabled would be forced to reach into their pocket and pay the IRS taxes on stu-dent loans that have already been forgiven as the result of such a life-changing event. But not only is that current law, it’s also the exact situation that hundreds of thousands of people across the country find themselves in today – including a family in Maine who first made me aware of this terrible problem.

Donald and Nora Brennen are Topsham residents and Navy veterans. Their son, Keegan, passed away unexpectedly in 2012 from a non-traumatic brain aneurysm. Keegan was a promising young artist who had recently graduated from the New Hampshire Institute of Art, and had used federal and private student loans to finance his education. And while both the federal government and the private lender forgave the outstanding balances on Kee-gan’s loans, as is often common practice now, the IRS notified the Brennens that the federal tax code treats their forgiven debt as taxable income.

As a result, the IRS presented the Brennens with a tax bill total-ing in the thousands of dollars. This shocking burden presented a devastating financial blow to the family while they were already grieving the loss of their son. The Brennens are now on a repay-ment plan with the IRS and have had to dip into their 401(k), and I think it’s simply unconscionable that they’ve had to go through this nightmare while dealing with the loss of their son. That’s why it’s time for this tax to go.

Earlier this spring, I joined together with a bipartisan group of my colleagues – including Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) – to introduce the Stop Taxing Death and Disability Act. Our bill would prevent forgiven federal student loans, such as those forgiven following the death of a child or onset of a permanent disability, from being counted as taxable income by the IRS, thus saving parents like the Brennens from an additional burden during an already trying time. The legislation would also expand the existing circumstances that qualify some-one for loan forgiveness, allowing parents whose child becomes permanently disabled to have loans that they cosigned forgiven by the government as well.

If there is any silver lining here, it’s that the Brennens have been able to raise awareness and help inspire federal legislation to address the problem. Fixing this unfair tax policy is not only common sense, it’s just the right thing to do. I hope we can act on this bill soon so that no one else in Maine or across the country has to go through this senseless – and useless – pain.

By Kaileigh Deacon

Over the last several years the su-perhero movies has become a whole franchise of its own. Marvel has taken the characters we loved from the com-ics and brought them to life on the big screen.

“Captain America: Civil War” starts not long after the events of “Avengers: Age of Ultron” ends. The Avengers has saved earth again but there was a heavy price, of too many lives. When another situation costs the lives of more innocent people, the govern-ments of the world unite and decide that there needs to be some control over these people with super abilities. The avengers then find themselves in a rift. One side against the regulations led by Captain America and the other side led by Iron Man. Not long after the rift starts, someone from Captain’s past

comes back and the rift grows deeper. The Avengers are choosing sides and causing a bad case of in-fighting. What will become of the Avengers?

Where do I start with this movie? I have seen most of the Marvel movies of late with one or two exceptions, and was looking forward to this movie. As expected, the theater was crowded but the movie was well worth the constant repositioning to be able to see Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans set the bar high with spot on performances we have come to expect from their previous movies with these roles. I have to say that it was nice to see a bit of change in the characters though. Captain’s typical goody-two-shoes attitude was minimal and Iron Man’s careless playboy at-titude seemed to have matured.

There are also a few appearances by characters who haven’t appeared

together before. And the new Spiderman is intro-duced. With each movie, Marvel brings more of the superheroes we love to life and they go deeper into the characters. Each character that appears in this movie adds more to the story es-pecially when it comes time to choose a side in this civil war.

I enjoyed the movie im-mensely and was enter-

tained throughout. The action was top notch and performed expertly. One of the things I had a problem with was some of the action happened so fast in such a spiral that it made it a little hard to follow. This was not just an action movie either. There was a decent story line to accompany the ac-tion to keep the audience hooked for over two and a half hours. The story line

explored parts of characters pasts that hadn’t previously been tapped into making it entertaining.

I would highly recom-mend this movie to every-one, not just those who like other superhero movies. Civil War has a PG-13 rat-ing which is mostly for action related violence. I would give this movie five out of five stars. Pick your side and enjoy the ride.

friends and neighbors, paint a rock or two, and take home some pretty decora-tions for your garden, porch, patio, and even for your indoor home décor.

This event, sponsored and hosted by the CCCF, is one of the continuing series of workshops and activities in conjunction with the regularly sched-uled Open House the third Saturday of each month. Next month will feature a workshop for quilted handbags in-structed by Marcia Carlow.

Child Car Seat Safety Certification Course

We are excited to let folks know that the Bu-reau of Highway Safety is offering a car seat safety training course in Machias, June 13-16. This is the first time that this course is being of-fered right here in Washington County. By the end of the training participants will hold a nation-ally recognized certification as a Child Passenger Safety Technician and will be able to identify and correct child seat misuse, help educate parents and caregivers in using and installing child seats, and conduct car seat inspections.

The class is Monday through Thursday from 8am to 5pm, and attendance for all 4 days is required. The last day of the course will include a public seat check event for new technicians to work side by side with instructors and other technicians from around the state. It's a great opportunity to learn about this fast changing field and be able to share your skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm with families and agencies in our community and, most importantly, to help make a big difference in keeping our kids safe.

Right now the only certified techs in our county are in Machias at Maine Families and Indian Township at the Health Center. We need more folks like you to get involved and help our fami-lies to keep our kids safe. The classes are June 13-16 at the Wash. County Regional Communication Center on Center Street in Machias. Lunch will be provided all 4 days. There is an $85 fee for materials and certification. Pre-registration is required for this training. To register or to find our more information visit: www.maine.gov/dps/bhs and click on the links for Child Passenger Safety Training or call Anneke at Maine Families 255-0481.

By Dorothy Johnson

While I was going through some of my old treasures this weekend, I found many old poetry notebooks and some research I did on the Town of Robbinston at the Calais Free Library back in the 1960s and now nearly 60 years later, my preface still applies to how I feel about our town.

From my Preface, “Few People can remember the days when the quiet hamlet of Rob-binston was a thriving little town on the St. Croix, but there was such a time. The time, however, was many, many years ago. Today Robbinston is one of the poor towns in a poor Washington County. This “poorness” (poverty), how-ever, does not detract from the beauty of the town not from the industriousness of the town’s people.”

“My sole purpose in writ-ing this research work is to inform the people of this town that things didn’t always seem as bleak as they do now, and perhaps by bringing something of our forefathers into a closer focus we will be able to feel more proud of them for what they were and of ourselves for what we are.”

As readers can see, I always had a good opinion of the early settlers of this town, just as I had a good opinion of my early forefathers. That pride in where we were and what we ac-complished is still in me. What is missing now is the pride in where we are going and how we are getting there.

Maine, as we now know it, belonged to the State of Mas-sachusetts and was governed by the leaders in that state. In 1784, the government leaders in Boston sent General Rufus

Putnam and Captain Park Hol-land to the Passamaquoddy area to survey and lay out some townships on the west bank of the St. Croix River. (St. Croix. Guy Murchie. Duell, Sloan, and Pearce. N.Y. 1947)

They did not travel Route 9 (the Airline road), of course, but sailed up to Passamaquoddy bay and surveyed two areas…the first being Moose Island (now known as Eastport) and the second being the present sites of Perry, Pembroke, Den-nysville, Robbinston and Cal-ais. These lands were put up for sale to add to the depleted Treasury of Massachusetts, which had been used to fund the War and not replaced.

Edward H. Robbins of Mil-ton Massachusetts who was then a member of the House of Representatives knew of a pos-sible purchase of the St. Croix area by some of his Boston friends, and he did not want to be left out. He sent Colonel Eddy (the same Colonel Eddy who had captured the attack on Fort Cumberland in 1776) to pick out a township for him. Colonel Eddy, after looking the area over, decided upon Town-ship No. 4 of the Putnam survey as the one most likely to appeal to his employer because of its dense forests of pine, spruce and hardwood.

Edward Robbins, satisfied with Colonel Eddy’s choice for him, with his brother Na-thaniel J. Robbins also of Mil-ton, Massachusetts, purchased Township No. 4 of the Putnam Purchase from the State of Massachusetts on October 21, 1786. From these two propri-etors the town took was named Robbinston.

Edward Robbins took great pride in advancing his settle-ment and he visited it many

times. As soon as he had pur-chased the Township, he sent a group of men and their families from Milton and Sharon to settle the area. These people arrived by coaster in the same year the purchase was made, 1786.

It is generally accepted that there were some settlers liv-ing in the township before the Massachusetts people arrived, but little is known about them. Jacob Boyden, a lone trapper for whom the town’s biggest lake is named, was probably living on the lake’s shore when the new settlers landed. He was sort of a recluse with no family and this is about all that is known of him. Another fam-ily may also have been living in the lake region.

The following people were listed as living in the township in the 1790 census: Jacob Boy-den, William Bugby, Widow Fausett, John Johnson, Job Jonson, John Brewer, Samuel Jones, Samuel Leshure, Donald MacDonald, Joseph Porter, Daniel Somes, Thomas Vose, and Edmund Ross. (St. Croix. Guy Murchie. Duell, Sloan, and Pearce. New York 1947.)

(It has been my experience that the spelling of names on census reports was not an important issue for the census takers. Both Johnsons could have been spelled with the H or both could have been spelled without an H. The Boyden

Cheesy Potato Egg BakeIngredients:

One pound bulk lean turkey breakfast sausage1 3/4 cups sliced Portobello mushrooms, chopped

4 cups fresh spinach, coarsely choppedSix large eggs1 cup 2% milk

Dash of seasoned salt2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

6 cups frozen potato puffsMethod:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 5-7 minutes or until no

longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Add mushrooms and spinach; cook 2-4 minutes longer or until mushrooms are tender and spinach is wilted.

Spoon sausage mixture into greased 13x9 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and seasoned salt

until blended; pour over sausage mixture. Layer with cheese and potato puffs.

Bake, uncovered, 45-50 minutes or until set and top is crisp.

This recipe makes 12 servings.

Cemetery is located over on the Lake Road and probably has some of the relatives of the Jacob Boyden mentioned. Bugby was the maiden name of Edie Cook of the Ridge Road. The Brewer Cemetery is on the Brewer Road. A Samuel Jones once owned my aunt and uncle’s property. A MacDonald family lived in the village when I was a kid. The Vose properties are mentioned in several deeds as boundaries for other properties. I believe these were the descendents of

the early settlers. )Joseph Porter came from

Malden, Massachusetts, as an employee of Robbins. We can suppose that his purpose there was to start a lumber business and to protect the proprietor’s interest. His pay for this was sixteen dollars a month.

The recipe for this week is for Cheesy Potato Egg Bake. It is a great breakfast dish and also a hearty dish for a weekend supper. I found it in the last edition of the Taste of Home magazine.

East Spring Birding Festival one of the best in the country, and Yankee Magazine listed it as an Editor’s Choice event in 2014. Highlights of the festival include Puffin trips to Machias Seal Island aboard the Barbara Frost out of Cutler and an exploratory tour around the Maritime island of Head Harbor Passage out of Eastport

The Cobscook Bay area has the greatest variety of habi-tats found on the East Coast, including boreal and northern hardwood forests, bogs, fresh- and salt-water marshes, grassy and shrubby fields, streams and lakes, steep rugged headlands, extensive tidal flats, and coastal islands. These diverse habitats are home to a great variety

of year-round and migratory birds. For all these reasons, Eastern coastal Maine has been identified as "one of the impor-tant bird areas in the US" by the American Bird Conservancy.

454-2625Monday, 5:09 p.m. It’s start-

ing to clear off after the show-ers. Did you know they had snow in northern Maine today? Snow! In May! I even put socks on and put my sandals in the closet. Just as they say, “If you don’t like the weather in Maine, wait a minute.”

The first annual “Clean Up Baring” was a partial success. A few hardy souls showed up to work. The crew started at “Bar-ing Gifts” and worked their way toward Calais. A total of twelve bags were filled by the time they reached Game Ref-uge line, just below Downeast Disposal. Laurel Perkins told me she is planning for another work evening. The date will be announced later. Get ready to work......be proud of our town.

Don’t forget that the Special Town Meeting is on Tuesday, May 24 at 6 p.m. This meeting is to elect two selectmen to fill recent vacancies. If you are

happy with how the town is be-ing operated, then you can stay home but you cannot complain later on when something hap-pens you disagree with. A large turnout would be great; we need to be together on thoughts and actions. If you are nominated for a position, think carefully before you accept. You have to have a strong back to handle controversies. You need to real-ize your phone will ring when people are upset. You should be able to explain your decision and explain why or why not it was done. Be prepared to work. There are so many here capable of being a selectman; are you one? I hope to see everyone at this meeting. And, thank you, Mark Hornbrook for all you have done during this unsettled time.

Kayla Jackson had a great graduation party at her home this past week. It was good to see so many of the Olsson fam-ily back in town and celebrating her success.

Happy Anniversary to Peter

and Susan Casey today. It was a cool day to be on the coast near the salt water, but they had a great time.

Kylee Pelletier and Casey McLellan were around town on Sunday leaving fliers at homes. They would like to take your dog for a walk around town or care for it if you need a sitter. Let them know if you need help in this area.

Recent visitors at the home of Alice Olsson were her daughter Brittany and family. They trav-eled down from Gorham for the weekend to help Alice with many items she had to handle. Family is a good thing! Also, thank you to many custom officers who helped clean and mow the lawn at the house. It was a big undertaking and much appreciated.

Just a personal observation.....I am beginning to hate political ads. They are taking the enjoy-ment out of television. How much longer do we endure this craziness?

BARING CEMETERYDid you know the cemetery

was bought and designed in 1836? The first one acre was purchased from Royal McKu-sich for $300. Since that time more ground was developed:

1844 - a road was built.1895 - more land was pur-

chased from S.F. Hayward1921 - another track was

bought from J.E. Hayward1924 - another road was built

and an iron fence was placed around the perimeter

As you can see from the short history a lot of work has been accomplished since the development of the land. Harle Winslow and Delbert Stewart worked many years to develop a map and identify the lots. My parents were once the overseers as have been others. When I took over the “job” I did it for Dad. He loved the work there and along with many others of his time mowed the area by hand. Those old hand mowers had many miles put on them. When I was just a kid here in town, a lady by the name of Bertha Chase ran the cemetery. She hired the local boys to mow. Jim tells me 2 or 3 would go up and work the whole day for $2.00.

Now, as overseer, I hire pro-fessional landscapers to do the mowing and trimming. I love that area and so much enjoy the history. There are entire families buried there that died from the plague (infants, teens and parents). There are veter-ans from the Civil War, WWI, WWll, Korea, and Viet Nam conflicts that have their final resting place there.

I guess you would say the cemetery is my passion. I want it to look neat and cared for at

all times. As I have grown older and had surgeries I am unable to do all I want done, so I call on you, the families of loved ones, to help me. I need your financial support to keep up-grades done. The straightening of old headstones done last year cost approximately $3000. Try-ing to complete and care for the veterans’ area is another extra expense. The town allows me $3000 yearly to keep the lots mowed and weed whacked. I am asking for your financial support to allow more stones to be corrected, more trees cut down, wild thorn bushes to be cut, and more of the old fencing removed.

I appreciate any amount of money you can spare or any work you can do. Please con-tact me at 454-2625, sdoten@roadrunner.com, or mail at 69 Center St. Baring 04694. One more thing, if I set a date and get more organized after Me-morial Day, would any one you be willing to volunteer some time and equipment to remove stumps and bushes? Let me know if you’re interested. We will get together. Thank you.

Well, that is it for now. En-joy the black flies. If you’re doing outside work, pray for a breeze.

at the State House in Augusta. Sam Perkins has agreed to per-form “God Bless America” and the “National Anthem.” Sam Coltart has agreed to perform “America the Beautiful” and the anthem for each branch of service.

Refreshments will be provided during the open house so please join us for a wonderful after-noon. Everyone is welcome to join us for this fun activity.

The Alexander Fire Depart-ment continues to request that Cooper residents put numbers on their homes or at the end of driveways to assist emergency response units in finding us should we call for ambulance or fire department assistance.

I attended the American Legion District 15 meeting yesterday in Baileyville. We discussed how we are try-ing to recruit new members. I was elected to the position of “Sergeant of Arms!” I guess I’m continuing my mission to support our Veterans and their families.

I am still planning on our Me-morial Day weekend activities. I picked up flags from Calais Ace Hardware for the cemetery and had a meeting with the new Calais High School Band & Chorus Director Chris Plaisted. He is very committed to his students. He has three students who will be reading two poems and Flanders Fields and also providing the sound system.

There is a light schedule of activities for the Princeton El-ementary School this coming week. On Wednesday, May 18 there is softball practice from 2-3:30; Thursday the 19th the calendar for the week shows a softball game home vs. Ed-munds at 3:30ish. On Friday there is T-ball practice from

2-2:45 and softball practice from 3-4:30. Going to the whole May calendar for the first three days of next week, it shows a softball game with Edmunds at 3:30 on Monday, May 23rd. Readers may want to check that date and time as those same teams are listed to play on the previous Thursday. As I write the column, it is too late for me to call anyone affili-ated with the school to check and

I won’t have the opportunity to check before the paper goes to press. On Wednesday, May 25th there will be softball practice from 2-3:30 and the Spring Art Show will be at 6pm.

Cheers for the performance of Suessical the Musical. I en-joyed last year’s Drama Club performance, but wasn’t able to get to this one. There has been a happy buzz in the commu-

nity at the announcement that Princeton Elementary School Grade 4 teacher Jane Andrews has been chosen Washington County Teacher of the Year. She joins 14 other teachers in being considered for Maine’s Teacher of the Year. Maine’s representa-tive will go on for consideration as America’s Teacher of the Year from over 50 other teachers. Congratulations, Jane.

Absentee ballots for the June 14th election are available at the Princeton Town Office. The office is open Monday through Friday, except for Memorial Day, 8:00 a.m. to noon and 12:45 to 4:00 p.m.

The Downeast Lakes Land Trust is sponsoring the Second Annual Community and Forest Clean-up on Saturday, May 21 from 8:30 to 1:30.

Grand Lake StreamDave McCullough

On Saturday, May 21, join the Downeast Lakes Land Trust and the Grand Lake Stream ATV Club for the 2nd Annual Community and Forest Clean-Up. After a long downeast winter, trash can build up along roadsides in the Farm Cove Community Forest and around Grand Lake Stream. Environ-mental stewardship and the generosity of local residents are very important to small com-munities in the Downeast Lakes region. Show your support and

come out to help clean up the community, as we usher in the warm spring weather! Partici-pants should meet at the Grand Lake Stream School Build-ing at 8:30 am to receive trash bags and get their area assign-ment. After the clean-up, “pick-ers” will be treated to a hearty lunch of soup, served in hand-made, souvenir bowls. This event is fun for the whole fam-ily! For more information or to pre-register for this community event, please contact Downeast Lakes Land Trust at (207) 796 – 2100 or email cbrown@

downeastlakes.orgThe Women to Women are

planning another yard sale, June 17 and 18! Please save all your stuff! The Women would love to have it! If you need to drop some treasures off or need to have something truly amaz-ing or even ordinary picked up please call Sue Whitely 796-0888 or Elaine Brown 796-5269 and they will assist. Also mark your calendars , come find some treasures and have lunch!

Again, another successful fishermen family and friends breakfast! They came from Brookton, Belfast and we saw many familiar faces from the various lodges in GLS. There was great representation from local families as well. I would like to thank all who made this day possible with their help from setting up, cleaning up and all in between from flip-

ping pancakes, serving , baking and the washing of the dishes. Thanks to everyone! Thanks Elaine, for all your leadership.

Harvesting Economic Im-pact: $650,000 Awarded To The Town Of Grand Lake Stream From A Completed New Mar-kets Tax Credit Cycle, by CEI Capital Management LLC

Collaboration among CEI Capital Management, the Town of Grand Lake Stream, Northern Forest Center, The Lyme Timber Company LP., Downeast Lakes Land Trust, Bangor Savings Bank & US Bancorp preserves forestland, way of life.

The Town of Grand Lake Stream has been granted $650,000 to apply to future housing, economic develop-ment, and community facilities projects that sustain the tradi-tional jobs and way of life for this rural community.

The grant, announced by CEI Capital Management today, is the last phase of a 2009 New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing here that protected 22,000 acres of forestland to support the outdoor recreation industry, including sporting camps and lodges and profes-sional guiding. It is an industry that is central to the economic way of life in the Downeast Lakes Region of Maine.

As one of the community benefits incorporated into the NMTC financing, The Lyme Forest Fund (an investment fund sponsored by The Lyme Timber Company LP) donated a total of 132 acres of land to the Town for the development of light industry and housing, and the Town was able to purchase an additional 50 acres at a discount for future mixed use develop-ment. The new $650,000 grant to the Town was made possible by the successful repayment of the NMTC financing.

For the residents of Grand Lake Stream, a small commu-nity in Washington County, the newly announced grant equips them to maintain control of their destiny. “This entire proj-ect has been a big win for the town, and the grant is an impor-tant component that will play a huge role in securing the town’s future,” said Louis Cataldo, First Selectman of the Town of Grand Lake Stream. “The proj-ect gave us land to enable us to expand, and the grant provides the resources to make that a re-ality. Among other things we look forward to creating jobs for local residents, promoting residential development to at-tract young families to move into the town, and creating a se-nior citizens housing project for current and future residents.”

Cataldo added: “We are grateful to CEI Capital Man-agement, the Northern Forest Center, Lyme Timber, and the other partners for everything they have done to make this all happen.”

National Safe Boating Week is a great way to kick off what will be a fun and safe summer on the water. From May 21 - 27, 2016, the Maine Warden Service asks boaters to pay EX-TRA attention to their boating safety behaviors, and to espe-cially ALWAYS wear their life jackets. Remember, even the most experienced boaters can fall victim to boating crashes.

Although May is not consid-ered to be the height of boating activity here in Maine, Safe Boating Week provides a great opportunity to remind those who are already recreating on the water to remember these important tips. Remember the dangers of springtime water temperatures. If you think you have enough time to get to your life jacket before a crash or in-cident, think again. More infor-mation related to the National Safe Boating Week campaign can be found here. http://www.safeboatingcampaign.com/

Have a great week! your humble Correspondent, Dave McCullough 207-839-4205 or dmccull1@maine.rr.com.

MeddybempsLinda Baniszeski

Ed Arbo celebrated his 95th birthday with a party held by his children and family. A love-ly family photo on Facebook featured Ed and Maxine with their children and family mem-bers. Daughters Diane James and Tammi Smith planned the event which was hosted at the James camp on Meddybemps Lake.

Janet Wooding shared, “I just had a wonderful visit from my daughter Susan and grand-daughter Rosie from Wales. They were only here for a few days, but we had a lovely time. They helped with my garden-ing and we visited Eastport and St. Andrews. The visit went much too fast.”

Speaking of travels from across the pond, Mike Johnson

and Diana recently returned from a trip to the British Isles. They had a great time and vis-ited with Diana’s son who is studying abroad.

Janet Wooding also tells us, “The hummingbirds are back. I hung my feeders up last week and the next day the first hum-mingbird was visiting. Now I have a steady stream of them. Not so for Ed and Liz Trouant up to a week ago, when I got the last report from Ed. We haven’t seen any ‘hummies’ either. Ed also reported that there were snow flurries up on Conant’s Hill last Mon-day. We had snow, too, down by the lake. Talk about freaky weather! Just when we thought spring was arriving, winter has reared its ugly head again. One day it was so warm that Scuffy scampered down into the lake

for a quick swim. That same day, it was warm and balmy enough to hang laundry outside to dry in bright sunlight. It was also warm enough for Barry to put our dock in for the season and get the boat out of storage. Next day, it’s cold again. High winds have churned up the lake and ravaged the trees and plants. Will it never end?

Despite the schizophren-ic weather, Terry Reynolds launched his pontoon boat and took it out for a shake down cruise. Terry doesn’t let much get in the way of his schedule. Way to go!

Besides the hummingbirds return, some of our human snowbirds are back in Meddy-bemps. It is good to see Bob and Linda Gordon’s RV back in its place for the summer sea-son. I hear that the Bogdens made a visit to the lake and re-turned back to New Jersey be-fore we even got to say hello. We enjoyed spending time with Susan and Eric Olsanski who are here off and on throughout spring, summer and fall. Har-old Hansen has opened up the Hansen camp for the season.

He has been here a few weeks. Now that he’s retired he can spend more time in Maine. Jeff and Jessica Brown were in Meddybemps last weekend to open their camp for the sea-son. We enjoyed sharing din-ner with them. Our Scuffy and their dog Vinnie a Bug (a Boston terrier/Pug mix), had a great play date. We had hoped to take them for a boat ride, but the cold weather and wind made that impossible.

Another one who disap-peared for the winter has un-expectedly returned. The little

Toddler Doll is back leaning on a tree along Lite Lane. What a great surprise to see her Sun-day morning, driving by on our way to church. She is smartly dressed in cute little jeans and an aqua hooded jacket, keep-ing warm on these cool nights. Perhaps she was in warmer climates for the winter (some-one’s garage?). Anyway, I’m glad to see her back with us. She always makes me smile.

It has been a bee hive of ac-tivity here at our school. End of the year testing, field trips, and celebrations are filling up our school calendar, which can be seen on our web site www.indiantownshipschool.net.

Our Passamaquoddy lan-guage class has been celebrat-ing Earth Day by cleaning up the community. Although Earth Day happens earlier in the spring, whoever claimed the date for Earth Day never lived in Downeast Maine where the weather is so unpredict-able, and actually still winter. So, we celebrate it when it is warmer and dryer. Miss Bren-da and Miss Regina take each class out armed with gloves and trash bags, and clean up the whole of Peter Dana Point. When a bag is full, it is left at the side of the road where Martin Dana from the Envi-ronmental Department, picks it up in his truck, and weighs it. Each classroom’s numbers

get recorded. The following is a tally of trash picked up by the children, and the grades with the highest totals.

In first place, was grade 4, second place was a tie between grades 3 & 6, and third place was grade 2.

Pre-K – 14.7 lbs.K – 5.2 lbs.1 – 9.2 lbs.2 – 26.13 – 123.8 lbs.4 – 130.2 lbs.5 - 24.5 lbs.6 - 123.8 lbs.7 – 22.6Every single child that par-

ticipated is a winner in our book!

Grade 8 did not have a chance to go out due to step up days at area high schools, but one special 8th grader de-serves a celebration.

Last week, after an appoint-ment in Calais, Sebastian Moore and his mom Mad-die went to sit along the river behind the Heritage Center and enjoy some lunch in the

beautiful weather. A car full of teenage girls drove through the parking lot and threw their trash from McDonald’s out the window. Without hesitation, Sebastian went and picked it all up and disposed of it prop-erly. Even though Calais is not our immediate community, it is still part of our Mother Earth and Sebastian has been taught to protect her. Well done, Se-bastian. You make us proud!

Indian Township has a lot to be proud of lately, mainly of their college graduates. It is a banner year for our commu-nity and we couldn’t be more proud! Most of these college graduates, at some time or another, were Indian Town-ship School students, so their success started right here! The following is a list of our col-lege graduates.

Out and About By Dorothy Johnson

The weather stays cold and damp and everyone is expect-ing warmer weather soon. I heard the weather forecaster on channel 5 call for snow in Northern Aroostook this morning. Snow in May has happened before, but it has not been welcome. In spite of the damp weather, the news also tells of small forest and grass fires over the state. Ev-eryone still needs to be wary of starting fires in the woods and fields.

The United Methodist Women hosted a very suc-cessful pot luck supper and guest speaker last Thursday evening. Ladies from other area churches were invited and approximately 40 partici-pants attended.

Dick Carroll is recovering from surgery back home in Woodland. Madeline Perkins is feeling so much better and is getting out to a few social activities. It is great to have you back with us. Marion Hunnewell had a big birthday this past Monday. Congratula-tions to Connie and Ron who exchanged wedding vows on Saturday with their family members and friends. Bud Ferry is still slowly improving a bit with therapy.

The Pembroke Little League team has been given a build-ing in which to keep their

equipment including a lawn mower for the field. A few Pembroke residents have worked very hard to make the old high school field playable and it is really looking good. Parents have helped put up a backstop and concession stand. On Saturday, May 28 the team and parents will hold a bottle drive in the morning. The team still needs a helping hand with individual equip-ment and field upkeep. Any resident with bottle donations should call a ball player for pick up. The team’s picture is in this issue of The Calais Advertiser on page 17. Shane Curtis is the coach of the team.

Beginning Thursday, May 26th and from 3-6pm every Thursday in the summer the Dennys River Farmers’ Mar-ket will be held at the Dennys-ville Town Hall at the corner of Rte 1and Rte 86. Vendors are welcome.

The monthly dinner at the

Dennysville-Edmunds Con-gregational Church will be Saturday, May 21st beginning at 5pm. The menu will be baked beans, both for meat-eaters and vegetarians, cas-seroles, salads and desserts.

Lincoln Memorial Library in Dennysville will be fea-turing children’s books for a few weeks so the children may keep reading through the summer. Nonfiction books include “Tut’s Mummy: Lost and Found,””Samuel Eaton’s Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Boy,” “Spring,” “Did Dinosaurs live in Your Back Yard?” and “Clifford Visits the Hospital.”

Fiction books include “Hat’s for Sale,” “The Bestest Mom,” “Emmett’s Pig,” “Gilberto and the Wind,” and “Bears on Wheels: a Bright and Early Counting Book.”

The Junior/Senior Prom was held at the Woodland gym last week. Calais High will be holding its prom next

week end. Graduations will be the order of the day as May moves to June. In other school news, I heard that Shead and Woodland will be mov-ing their affiliation from the Downeast Athletic Confer-ence to the Aroostook County Conference beginning with fall sports in 2016. I think of the eight schools that were in the DAC a few years ago and only five remain.

$650,000 Awarded To The Town Of Grand Lake Stream From A Completed New Markets Tax Credit Cycle

The Town of Grand Lake Stream has been granted $650,000 to apply to future housing,

economic development, and community facilities projects that sustain the traditional jobs and way of life for this rural community.

The grant, announced by CEI Capital Management today, is the last phase of a 2009 New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing here that protected 22,000 acres of forestland to sup-port the outdoor recreation industry, including sporting camps and lodges and professional guiding. It is an industry that is central to the economic way of life in the Downeast Lakes Region of Maine.

As one of the community benefits incorporated into the NMTC financing, The Lyme Forest Fund (an investment fund sponsored by The Lyme Timber Company LP) donated a total of 132 acres of land to the Town for the development of light industry and housing, and the Town was able to purchase an additional 50 acres at a discount for future mixed use development. The new $650,000 grant to the Town was made possible by the successful repayment of the NMTC financing.

For the residents of Grand Lake Stream, a small community in Washington County, the newly announced grant equips them to maintain control of their destiny. “This entire project has been a big win for the Town, and the grant is an important component that will play a huge role in securing the Town’s future,” said Louis Cataldo, First Selectman of the Town of Grand Lake Stream. “The project gave us land to enable us to expand, and the grant provides the resources to make that a reality. Among other things we look forward to creating jobs for local residents, promoting residential development to attract young families to move into the town, and creating a senior citizens housing project for current and future residents.”

Cataldo added: “We are grateful to CEI Capital Management, the Northern Forest Center, Lyme Timber, and the other partners for everything they have done to make this all hap-pen.”

The New Markets Tax Credit Financing in 2009 made possible the acquisition by The Lyme Forest Fund of the 22,000-acre West Grand Lake Forest, and included an option agreement between The Lyme Forest Fund and the Downeast Lakes Land Trust to purchase working forest conservation easements and ultimately the land itself to establish a Community For-est. CEI Capital Management used its tax credit allocation to put the financing together. The Northern Forest Center worked with the partners to facilitate development of the financing as well as helping with details relating to the new $650,000 grant. Bangor Savings Bank and U.S. Bancorp also participated as partners in the original financing.

“This project would not have happened without a collaboration with the Northern Forest Center Downeast Lakes Land Trust, and Lyme Timber who uniquely understand how the livelihood of the entire community here is connected to the forest and companion outdoor recreation industry,” said CEI Capital Management CEO Charlie Spies. “We worked with those parties to develop community benefits that the local people truly supported. The entire project complements other economic development projects in the region such as the recent expansion of St. Croix Tissue, where new direct jobs related to this forest economy beget others in the value chain.”

The acquisition of the West Grand Lake Forest by The Lyme Forest Fund protected the land against development and subdivision, which could have changed the complexion of a region that is deeply intertwined with its forest based economy. That protection was secured when working forestland conservation easements were put on the land in 2012.

The conservation easement ensures public access to the recreation area, popular for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, hiking, canoeing and other recreational activities, in perpetuity, thus sustaining jobs in the local outdoor recreation industry. At the same time, it makes certain that the lands will continue to be sustainably managed for forest products.

The Downeast Lakes Land Trust is working to complete its fundraising to enable it to pur-chase the West Grand Lake Forest and establish it as a Community Forest.
