GFWC/MIOSAC CLUB SPEAKERS - Roxy McGlaufl in (left) introduced Diane Parola (center) and Adam Sheean as speakers from Maine Highlands Federal Credit Union.
Miosac Club met November 18 at Thayer Parkway, with fourteen members and one guest present, as Roxy Mc Glaufl in introduced Diane Parola and Adam Sheean from Maine Highlands Federal Credit Union.
Adam spoke of the many scams and frauds that people are using to gain access to others money and information. He urges every-one to always check their state-
ments and if there is something wrong, call them as soon as pos-sible. There is a certain window when they can get your money back. Craig’s List can be fradu-lent and money grams are being forged. Online banking offers some protection and securities. There are about 10 scams go-ing on right now. Be careful with phone calls. Diane reiterated Ad-am’s statements and she spoke of the Credit Union’s project, Ending Hunger In Maine. They have several fundraising acitvi-ties through out the year and all that money goes to support food banks. It was a very informative
program.President, Vicki Moschella
opened the meeting. Elaine Lar-son led the Club Collect, Ameri-can’s Creed and the Pledge of Alle-giance to the Flag. In the absence of Secretary Cathie Goodine, Min-nie McCormick took roll call and read the secretary’s report which was accepted as read. Treasurer Carol Kilpatrick gave the trea-surers report, with two associate members paying dues. Suzanne Raymond was welcomed as a new member. Suzanne has belonged to Cosmopolitan Club but the club is not able to carry on after over 100

CHRISTMAS SHOW REHEARSAL - The Levi Stewart Community Theater will present their annual Christmas Show for 2014, “Virgil’s Christmas Catch” by Eddie McPherson, on Friday and Saturday, De-cember 5 and 6 at 7 p.m. at the historic Stewart Library Building in Corinna. The play’s description is “Virgil Sludge is from the country. He’s working a temporary job for extra Christmas money as a custodian at a leading ad agency in the city. He and his best friend Ellard play around with one of their own adver-tising ideas while taking a break in an executive’s offi ce. By mistake, the storyboard with a catchphrase about fi shing lures is taken to the printers and published as the new campaign slogan. Sounds bad, but it might be good. This is a great fi sh-out-of-water, Christmas story with lots of hilarious confusion between the country folks and the city folks.” Admission will be $6 per person with a family rate of $20 for four or more from the same household.

“...to improve their abilities”To the Editor:For many years the Tri-County Technical Center in Dexter has been competing in Skills, a program de-
signed to improve student’s abilities and confi dence while in competition with other students throughout the united States. The results have been jobs even before graduation.
They compete with each other and the ones who win go to Bangor. The ones who win there go on to Kansas to compete nationally. Our students have always done very well in all competitions, winning many metals in both state and national meets including gold, silver, and bronze and making some of them in the top ten in the country. This is due to the quality of the students and the instructors. If you could have the time to talk to both students and teachers, you could see that the relationship is more than just student and teacher.
This year due to budget constraints they are looking at not being able to compete. If each of us could contribute to their future I think it would be a confi dence builder in all of them. I think a gift sent to the Tri-County Technical Center would show our support to the program.
Thanks from my heart.Theodore InmanDexter

After retirement he also built several camps to sell. He also re-stored antique cars, mainly Model T’s, and enjoyed going on a number of national Model T tours. Roger enjoyed fi shing and camping trips in the summer. He also enjoyed ice fi shing on Center Pond in front of the camp he built. He also enjoyed hunting and shot a large buck only a couple of weeks ago. He collected sap in the spring and did gardening in the summer. He liked to collect antiques, old coins, and feed the humming birds. Roger is survived by 2 sisters, Helen Edgerly of Dexter and Ethelyn Langley of Presque Isle and Florida. He will also be sadly missed by numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends. He was a loving and caring uncle and was a “fa-ther fi gure” to several family members. Along with his gentle demeanor, he was a man of few words but people respected his wisdom. Roger was predeceased by 2 brothers, Raymond and Galen Farrar. A celebration of Roger’s life was held at 1 P.M. Wednesday at Crosby & Neal, 61 Main Street, Dexter. In lieu of fl owers, dona-tions may be made in his memory to the Dexter Historical Society, P. O. Box 481, Dexter, ME 04930. Those who wish may leave written con-dolences at www.CrosbyNeal.com

MAINE — Community Health and Counseling Services (CHCS) recently announced that it has been named to the Top 500 of the 2014 HomeCare Elite™, a recog-nition of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Now in its ninth year, the HomeCare Elite identifi es the top 25 percent of agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, best practice (process measure) implementa-tion, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS®), quality im-provement and consistency, and fi nancial performance. In order to be considered, an agency must be Medicare-certifi ed and have data for at least one outcome in Home Health Compare. Out of 9,994 agencies considered, 2,501 are elite.
The award is sponsored by OCS HomeCare by National Re-search Corporation, the leading products for home health met-rics and analytics, and Decision-Health, publisher of the most respected independent newslet-ter in the home care profession, Home Health Line.
“The 2014 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commit-ment to providing high quality care in their home health com-
CHCS among Top 500 of HomeCare Elitemunities and we recognize them for their remarkable achieve-ments,” said Mary Oakes, Senior Vice President of Post-Acute at National Research. “We congrat-ulate CHCS on being one of the top 500 home care agencies in the country.” Reviewing the list also indicates that CHCS is only one of four other agencies in the state of Maine to receive this distinc-tion.
CHCS’s Executive Director, Dale Hamilton said, “This award is important because it recog-nizes the quality of care delivery that we provide. Being recognized as one of the top 500 home health agencies out of the 16,000 agen-cies throughout the nation, is a remarkable accomplishment and also demonstrates CHCS’s com-mitment to patient care. This des-ignation is made possible because of the exemplary professionals who work here.”
“HomeCare Elite recognition is a signifi cant acknowledge-ment. In today’s healthcare eco-system, it is imperative that our seniors have access to quality home healthcare in order to en-sure better patient outcomes and improve overall cost, and there-fore, home healthcare continues to remain an integral part of the care continuum. The winners of the HomeCare Elite Award are proving that a heightened focus
on clinical outcomes, patient ex-perience, and fi nancial manage-ment lead to success,” said Marci Heydt, Product Manager for the post-acute care business group of DecisionHealth.

DEXTER — The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to give something that means something this holiday season – a lifesaving blood donation.
Blood donations often decline this time of year when donors get busy with holiday festivities and travel. Severe winter weather and seasonal illnesses, like the fl u, can also have a serious impact on blood donations, but the need for blood remains steady. On average, the Red Cross must collect 15,000 blood products every day for patients across the country.
Eligible donors with all types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Upcoming blood donation opportunities in our area includeDecember 11 at the Dexter Knights of Columbus 102 Main St. Hill,
Rte 23, Dexter, 1 - 6 p.m.How to donate bloodSimply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, vis-
it redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identifi cation are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental con-sent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
