Robbery at Ben’s Fuzy Butz 4 Pets

Local Glass Artist Ready For Spring

By Amy Jeanroy

Sunday morning, April 28, Ben’s Fuzy Butz 4 Pets, lo-cated on Main Street in Calais, was robbed. The thieves broke the glass front door, stole the cash register, and destroyed the phone system in the process. The credit card machine was also broken, and owner Donna Wade, is unsure if she will be able to replace it.

“I am a small business. I don’t have the money to replace the credit card machine. A new one will cost $500. I may not be able to accept credit cards again.

Despite the robbery, Donna remains optimistic.

“I am thankful that more dam-age wasn’t done to the birds and to the tub.” She does have

concerns however. “I do fear that more businesses are going to be hit, because they are going to get away with this.”

The patrolman said he did not notice anything at 6 a.m. Mon-day morning, but the residents living above the shop upstairs claim that they had heard noises at 4:00 that morning.

Asked how she felt about the robbery, Donna said:

“I feel violated. Everything was torn through and all over the floor. I’m not even sure what else they may have taken yet. “

Despite all the damage to the door, and store equipment, the thieves only got the cash reg-ister that contained about $30. They even left a $2,400 diving regulator which was hanging in plain sight.

“I am always thinking about glass, always.”

Mark Wren is a true glass artist. His pieces range from 3D multifaceted sun catchers to breathtaking cathedral windows and doors. His business Wreno-vations, in Robbinston, is a variety of specialty and custom pieces of glass. Entering its 26th year, Mark and his wife Arlene spend the winter months getting ready for their busy season; art shows along the East coast.

It may seem like work to us, but Mark doesn’t see it that way.

“Winter is my fun time. Most projects are one of a kind, and I always have multiple projects going on all winter.”

“The glass is what makes my art. Some of the colors and types of glass are not even made anymore.”

He names even the smallest slivers of colors in a finished piece. As we are talking about design and color, Mark tells

where each piece of glass came from. He has a story to tell with every shade.

There are dozens of designs and endless colors in his work. When asked how he gets his ideas, Mark says: “Inspiration is all around me. There are times when I am working in the garden, thinking about a piece, when I suddenly decide on the next step to take. Then, I may spend the rest of the day in my studio.”

All glass is not the same. Dif-ferent colors cost more money. Anything of the red/orange/yel-low tones are actually colored with gold leaf. With the price of gold at the time of this writing at $1473.20 an ounce, it is no wonder that these colors are the most expensive.

Like the glass, what the cus-tomers want to buy is also evolving. As the years go by, Mark sees the trends change and customers buy different types of pieces. Although they no longer attend the 18 to 20 shows a year like they used to,

the Wrens have dedicated return customers who always check their website to see what shows they will be at.

There seems to be no end to Mark’s creativity with, and passion for glass. He is as much an artist as he is teacher, mak-ing the experience of buying a piece much more than picking something out of a catalog. If you are interested, Mark will share where the colors in your piece are from, and how the textures came to be. It truly makes your piece of art that much more special.

Connect with this one-of-a-kind artist at the website: http://www.wrenovations.com, where you can find their updated show schedule, and see pieces of art-work. You may also email Mark at [email protected], or even find him at his studio in Robbinston. The studio is open year round,

Monday thru Friday 9am to 5 pm, weekends by appointment. Phone (207)454-2832.

Festival Beer Tent: To Be or Not To Be? That is the QuestionBy Jayna Smith

The Calais City Council met last Thursday with Mayor Mari-anne Moore presiding over Councilors Tom Parks, Billy Howard, Arthur Mingo, Alan Dwelley, Chris Bernardini, and Anne Nixon.

The first on the list of new business was Schooners Bar & Grill. Carl Bailey, owner of Schooners Bar & Grill, is again hoping to have a beer tent, a long standing tradition of Internation-al Homecoming Festival which this year takes place August 2nd to August 11th. He explained to the council members, “Last year we reduced the size of (the beer tent)…and we actually, at-tempted to go for several week to allow for local area charities to use that space…but none of them took advantage of it.” The parking area behind his estab-lishment, which is shared with Karen Scribner for her diner and pub, was fenced off for six weeks for this tent. This year Bailey is requesting use of that area to fence off for three days.

Citizen Bill Delmonaco spoke up on behalf of the St. Croix No. 1 Fire House. “Someone had put nails and screws in the firehouse building to hold up something. I don’t know who else it would have been other than (those from the Schooner).” Delmonaco requested a barrier be put up alongside of the firehouse build-ing so not to have any further damage made to the historical building.

Bailey apologized for the nails and explained, “I’m sure if there are nails or screws in the build-ing it came from my team. I can certainly assure the fence does not touch your building.” He offered to change his fencing in a way that provides a barrier between the firehouse and the beer tent.

It was next when Karen Scrib-ner addressed her concerns. “The parking area that (Bailey) has drawn out this year is smaller than last year. Last year I could

approve the St. Croix Valley Chamber of Commerce’s ap-plication for their annual street fair held during International Homecoming Festival. As well, it was unanimously voted to ap-prove the annual Memorial Day Parade and ceremony to be held on Monday, May 27th. This event will be put forth by the American Legion and the Calais Police Association.

Calais Fire-EMS’ proposal for EMS services offered to Northern Washington Southern Aroostook Regional Ambulance Service (NWSARAS) was ap-proved with all Councilors vot-ing in favor with the exception of Councilor Howard. This will allow for Calais Fire-EMS to run the ambulance service of NWSARAS for the period of one year, beginning on July 1st.

Calais Fire-EMS received final approval from Maine EMS back in February to be one of six pilot sites for a Com-munity Paramedicine Project

(CPP). Such a program would provide limited in-home care for qualifying patients for the purpose of assisting physicians and reducing the number of hospital re-admissions. Calais-Fire EMS’ complete CPP was approved with all Councilors voting in favor with the excep-tion of Councilor Howard.

The Council unanimously voted to authorize the finance department to expend $4,056.40 from the Computer CIP reserve account for the purchase and in-stallation of a new Dell server.

Last on the agenda was the Calais Downtown Revitaliza-tion Coalition’s (CDRC) request for the City to purchase new banners for the downtown light poles. Joan Perry and Kathleen Caso represented the CDRC and expressed a desire for 50 new banners to be purchased to replace outdated and weathered ones as well as to add to light poles without any. This issue was referred to the Economic Development Committee.

not get to my diner (back) door.” She went on to explain that the map presented by Bailey to the council depicts her back door being blocked off and provided the council with a list, stating, “Everything that is on that list happened to me last year and I was the only one—the only one—who was hurt by this.” Among things on that list was mention of patrons from the beer tent urinating on her diner’s doorknob.

Bailey did speak up and ex-plained that the blocking of her door was drawn in error as he plans to allow Scribner full access to her door. Scribner reiterated, “I could not—could not—get through my door. I had to walk around and go through my front door because it was so disgusting. And if that is what the town is coming to, is this what the (festival) is coming to—a drinking sprawl instead of family fun event?”

Scribner then asked why Bai-ley could not work out of his business like the other bar es-tablishment owners in town do, rather than holding an outside event. Councilman Billy How-ard responded by saying that Bailey is “just trying to create a little extra (revenue)” for the people and the town.

Suggestions arose regarding a new location, such as Main Street, the downtown triangle park, or on the waterfront. It was added that the International Homecoming Festival Commit-tee is currently in the process of having electricity added to that area. That Committee’s in-tended use for electricity in that area is to allow for the planned children’s activities during fes-tival.

Bailey objected to moving his beer tent, at least for this year. “The Schooner’s done this for 12 some odd years and I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars myself. I buy everything for this event; it didn’t come with the business. Last year, I paid over six grand for tents. I’m not

adverse to certainly discussing and trying to work this out to-gether to come to some sort of amicable agreement but moving right now—I’d like to get some return on my investment.”

Mayor Marianne Moore and Councilor Howard both agreed that an event such as having one urinate on Scribner’s doorknob could happen on any given Fri-day or Saturday night. Scribner was quick to note, “There’s a dif-ference on a Friday night on how many people are there compared to on a night of festival.”

Councilor Arthur Mingo spoke in favor of a beer tent, noting he is not disagreeing with concerns from either party. “We’ve had beer tents a long time, they’re kind of an important part, take it any way you want. There are so many class reunions that go on at that time. It gives them a chance to mingle.”

“But do they have to be behind my business?” Scribner asked. She also pointed out Bailey’s proposed schedule for the tent. What is described as a three day beer tent event, she explained, is actually five days when one takes into consideration both the set up day and the tear down day.

Councilor Chris Bernardini discussed the use of the water-front for beer tents and other vendors that would give the city an opportunity to rent spaces to. He explained that the noise at the current location behind Schoo-ners and Karen’s Diner travels and a move to the waterfront would make for a quieter area near residences. “It would also give all of the bars a fair chance,” he added, recommending that the council not vote on the issue between Bailey and Scribner at this meeting.

After the lengthy discussion, it was concluded that this issue should be addressed with the Public Safety Committee, with Fire Chief Robert Posnic being in attendance, along with Bailey and Scribner. This meeting was tentatively scheduled for Tues-day, April 30th.

In other new business, the Council unanimously voted to

Pembroke Bus Driver Heads to International CompetitionBy Gwen Clark

Joe Storey has been a School Bus Driver for 26 years, em-ployed with the Pembroke School Department. His wife Val is also employed as a bus driver with the same school department. During those years they both have participated in various school bus driving competitions. You can count Joe’s success by his overloaded trophy case in his home. Each year county competitions are held and the drivers who place first, second and third compete at Sugarloaf Ski Resort for the States. The first and second place qualifiers in State have the opportunity to compete in the International School Bus Driver Safety Competition. This year’s will be the 43rd Annual and will be held July

19 thru 21 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Both Joe and Val will be at-tending.

The International Bus Driv-ers Competition began in 1971 as a National School Bus Safety Roadeo and sponsored by the National School Transporta-tion Association. It stresses the safety and security procedures as well as the skilled driving of the buses themselves. Joe and Val learn something new with each competition they at-tend; changes in the state laws, laws of other states, wheelchair safety, safety issues with load-ing and unloading students. They have seen firsthand what happens to a school bus should one catch fire when at one of these seminars one was pur-posely ignited and burned as a demonstration. They know how much time it takes to get

passengers to safety. Mr. Storey has earned tro-

phies to fill his trophy case from various competitions, four or five second place, one third place county wide, and four state wide first place trophies. He added another first place trophy just this year from the state. His wife Val has one sec-ond place trophy of her own.

Mr. Storey recently received a letter of congratulations and good luck from Senator David Burns. The Pembroke Elemen-tary School is also holding a benefit Spaghetti Supper on May 29th to assist in Joe and Val’s trip to Tulsa in July. A bit of information for when you are behind a school bus in the State of Maine, keep your cool, school buses have a set limit of 45 mph and 55 mph on the interstate.

Bus driver Joe Storey holds two of the many trophies he has won in bus safety competitions.

Calais Downtown Revitalization CoalitionDowntown clean-up is un-

derway. Sidewalks and streets are being swept. Winter doesn’t feel like it is officially over until that last bit of salt and dirt is gone. Thanks to the Public Works Department of the City of Calais. It is so important for this area of the city to be spot-less for revitalization efforts to be successful.

Thanks to Hunter Snowman and Nathan Lozier who helped clean store windows on Main Street as part of their Com-munity Service requirement at Woodland High School. It’s so nice to see shiny clean windows and hopefully this will inspire the entire city to clean away the winter. Just say no to the dirt and dust.

April’s “Meet Your Down-town Neighbor” was hosted by Kendall Fine Jewelers. They put on a first class event as is everything at Kendall’s, don’t you think? Jayne Johnson and her staff are brilliant and the shop is gorgeous. We are fortu-nate to have this fine business

in Downtown Calais. A bus tour from St. John, NB,

will be visiting downtown Cal-ais beginning Saturday, May 4. Thanks to an invite spearheaded by Anne Nixon and the Cal-ais Downtown Revitalization Coalition (CDRC), Finnsway will be stopping and hopefully shopping on a regular basis in the future. A special welcome package was put together by CDRC filled with coupons and special offerings for our friends from Canada. What a great idea! This is one of many new mar-keting ideas in the works.

Get ready for the new Chair Affair! This fundraiser for CDRC was such a great success last year that it’s back by popu-lar demand. Thirty area busi-nesses have purchased chairs and are up for the challenge to decorate it for a special auction this summer. There is an enor-mous amount of creative energy in Calais when it comes to this event. Chairs go on display in front of businesses on June 1.

New lightposts have been

installed and turned on in down-town Main Street in the block between Boston Shoe Store and Jo’s Diner and Pizzerina. This City of Calais project that included new sidewalks was funded by a Community De-velopment Block Grant. Final touches are underway.

If you don’t already have one, pick up your Downtown Calais sticker. They sell for $1

each and will help promote and revitalize our downtown area. You will find these available at downtown merchants.

Keep in touch with happen-ings in downtown Calais. Like us (Calais Downtown Revital-ization Coalition) on Facebook and check out CalaisEvents.com also.

See you downtown!

Chair Affair

Group Meets to Discuss Local Food SystemBy Lura Jackson

On April 23rd, two support-ers of the local food movement gave a presentation to 21 at-tendees to an open meeting held at WCCC. The purpose of the presentation was to focus on strengthening the network of farms, processors, and distribu-tors in Washington County, and to collect public input on the challenges and opportunities our local food system faces.

Regina Grabrovac and Judy East guided the discussion, which was aided by instant electronic polling. Grabrovac is the farm to school coordi-nator for the area, and East is the executive director of the

Washington County Council of Governments. Both are mem-bers of the Washington County: One Community coalition.

During the presentation, East made several compelling state-ments supported by the statisti-cal analysis of resource econo-mist Kevin Athearn, assistant professor of economics at UMM. According to Athearn’s data, if residents of Washington County spent just 10% of their weekly food budget on local produce, it would generate approximately $3.5 million in local value (not to mention the potential health benefits gained from eating organic food).

The demand for local food in Maine is certainly alive and

well: in a 2013 study, the Stroll-ing of the Heifers ranked each state by its “locavore” index (locavore was the Oxford 2007 word of the year; it refers to one who is interested in consuming local food). Maine was ranked 2nd, up from 4th in 2012 and behind only Vermont.

“The biggest problem is that we need more growers,” farmer and attendee Ted Carter emphatically added. Carter believes that encouraging an active mentoring program and continuing to reach out to young farmers is key to helping our county thrive. Grants and loans are becoming available to those looking to enter the farming business, and East is

working on providing extensive soil data and GIS mapping to assist in farm planning.

A total of five presentations will be held around the county, after which the polling data will be compiled and a final meeting will be organized to discuss the next steps of prog-ress. East encourages everyone interested in sustaining the lo-cal food movement to attend, noting the low representation of institutional consumers, lend-ers, and distributors. The next meeting will be on May 2nd at the Machias Savings Bank from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Collected data and recordings of the meetings will be available at www.gro-wa.org.

Meet Baileyville’s New Town Manager

Baileyville Town Manager Rick Bronson encourages residents to drop in the office to meet him. (Photo by Dorothy Johnson).

By Joyce Scott

Rick Bronson is the new face at the Baileyville town office. He was recently hired to fill the position of town manager.

Bronson replaces Linda Pa-gels-Wentworth who vacated the position in November of last year for personal reasons.

Bronson makes the daily commute to the small mill town from his home in Bangor.

Although he has some expe-rience in municipal govern-ment, this is Bronson’s first job as a town manager.

Why Baileyville? “It’s not like I had a lot of towns asking me to come there,” he recently told a Calais Advertiser re-porter. “Baileyville said the magic thing.”

His past municipal experi-ence includes serving on the Bangor town council, working for the fire service for 37 years, the last 11 of those years as the fire chief for the City of Brewer and serving on BACTS [Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation].

He also owned and operated a production service company for several years.

“I’ve had an eclectic career,” he said.

Although he did not specify his age he hinted that there are those who have retired at his age. “I have no desire to retire right now,” he said. “I don’t sit down very well.”

The new manager took up his new position on April 17th. “I began my day at 8 a.m. and had my first visitor at 8:05,” he said.

He outlined his current pri-orities. “Right now the big parts of my job are the budget and meeting people,” he said.

As he spoke with the reporter last Thursday, he was prepar-ing for a special town coun-cil meeting that night. This was his second town council meeting since taking over the reins.

He explained the purpose of special meeting was to finish up details of the budget for the upcoming town meeting.

He said he is definitely get-ting his feet wet. “Now I’m trying to find a dry spot,” he chuckled.

He talked about the town’s upcoming annual budget. “It’s pretty well done,” he said.

“The council had that [budget] done. They deserve a lot of credit.”

Taxation is a concern. Bron-son said although it doesn’t appear there will be a mil rate increase, there are other factors to be considered. “The town is headed toward a full revalu-ation,” he said. “They are sort of in the process.”

One of the loose ends will be brought before the town in one of the articles at the town meeting on May 13th. “It’s an ordinance change,” he said

If approved by the towns-people, the change will mean all assessment appeals will be handled by what is currently, the Zoning Board of Appeals. Currently appeals are handled by the council. Bronson said “This way is less political than using the council.”

Experience has taught him well. “I’ve been on both sides of the table,” he said. “I’ve seen multiple managers. I’ve seen managers who have for-gotten who they work for.

The town manager is clear on his role. “I certainly work for the citizens of the town,” he said. “The bottom line is I work for the council.”

Although he has a daily two hour commute each way, Bron-son said he plans to remain in his new position for the long term. He is currently looking into accommodations in the area that will allow him to make the trip less frequently.

Bronson said he is excited about his new job and looks forward to meeting and work-ing with the people of Bai-leyville and the surrounding areas.

Local Student’s Art Work Wins First in the State

Owen Brown is pictured displaying his artwork that won him a blue ribbon in the Maine Junior Duck Stamp Contest. In addition to a blue ribbon, Owen’s prize package consisted of a T-shirt and the bird book The Sibley Guide to Birds.

By Jayna Smith

Calais Elementary School third grade student Owen Brown recently learned his entry in the Maine Junior Duck Stamp Program won first place. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and gives students the chance to use their artistic abilities, while at the same time provides the opportunity to learn about wildlife and con-servation.

Steve Agius, Assistant Man-

ager for the Moosehorn and Aroostook National Wildlife Refuges, is the Maine Coor-dinator for the Junior Duck Stamp Contest. He says this unique program “is an arts and science curriculum teaching bi-ology and habitat conservation, with a focus on wetlands and waterfowl conservation.”

Nearly 450 pieces of artwork depicting North American wa-terfowl were submitted from students in grades Pre-K to 12 from across Maine for the 19th annual contest. Owen

Ms. Loper is very pleased to an-nounce that Paige Gillespie has won second place in the Maine finals of the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Design Contest with her painting titled “Sunset at Whiting Maine”. Paige is the only student in the known history of our school to have confidently entered this kind of a distinguished art contest. As second place winner Paige received an award ribbon, a certificate of appreciation and a copy of Sibley’s Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America. Cong

competed against others across the state in the grades Pre-K to three division.

A full day was put in by Owen for his piece, which he carefully created using acrylic paint. He said he got his artistic abilities from his mother Lea Brown. When asked why he decided to enter the contest, Owen stated, “My dad intro-duced me to it.” Moreover, his older brother Ethan was a first place winner last year in the same age division.

Owen’s painting depicted a Barrows Golden Eye bird. When asked why he chose that particular bird to paint, he stated, “It’s a rare bird and I’ve seen it.” He went on to explain how he saw one with his father Ray Brown not long before the contest.

Congress passed The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conserva-tion and Design Act of 1991 to authorize the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to use revenues from the sale of Ju-

nior Duck Stamps to promote conservation education in the form of awards and scholar-ships to the students, teachers and schools that participate in the program.

Junior Duck Stamps are sold for $5 each by the U.S. Postal Service, Amplex Corporation, and various National Wildlife Refuges. Proceeds from the sale of Junior Duck Stamps are returned to states for en-vironmental and conservation education programs.

Autism Workshop for Washington CountyBy Gwen Clark

Late Tuesday afternoon on April 23 approximately seventy individuals from Washington County attended an Autism Awareness Work-shop at Princeton Elemen-tary School. This was the first time that guest speaker Matt Brown had addressed a group on the topic in Wash-ington County. His visit this time was brought courtesy of Donna Netzer, a seventh and eighth grade teacher at Princeton Elementary School. She had contacted Mr. Brown to thank him for speaking in general about Autism. Both Brown and Netzer have sons with Autism.

Matt Brown has been in-volved in the Law Enforce-ment field for over twenty five years, as well as a volunteer EMT/Paramedic/Firefighter for several years and during the last ten he has given nu-merous speaking engagements on Autism. Many attendees of this workshop were involved with Law Enforcement them-selves; Calais Police Depart-ment, Washington County Sheriff’s Department, Border Patrol, Maine Warden Service Officers, Fire Department personnel and EMT/Paramed-ics, teachers, and parents.

Mr. Brown speaks as a fa-ther of an autistic child, so his training reflects insight on a personal level. He encourages sharing any personal experi-ences or questions from the public during his sessions. He is also instructs a class at the Police Academy and is an In-formation Specialist with the Autism Society of Maine out of Winthrop. Several years ago the society was success-ful with making it mandatory training for Law Enforcement Officers in the State of Maine and so every Law enforce-ment officer should have had a least one workshop of

training rather it be on line or in person attendance. He stresses that each individual with Autism is different.

Autistic individuals whom are involved with Law Enforcement can exhibit char-acteristics that are easily misinterpreted. The bottom line is creating a safe envi-ronment and atmosphere for the Autistic individuals when dealing with them. Statistics currently stand at 1 in 88 children have Autism and 1 in 54 are boys. Almost every person interacts with an Au-tistic person at some time. A number of factors attribute to autism, combinations of environmental, medical, and diagnosis. There is no known single cause for autism and there is no cure for autism. There are differences in the brain of autism individuals and there are genetic com-ponents where a family may have more than one autistic member in their family.

Physical characteristics of autism vary from stimming, (a physical repeated motion, shaking a hand, flicking fin-gers, rocking back and forth); repetition of phrases; lack of social communication skills. Close to fifty percent of the autistic population are non-verbal or very limited verbal skills. They have sensitivities to sounds, light and touch and are unable to keep or main-tain eye to eye contact with people. People with Autism may have processing delays and fixations on topics espe-cially if they have a favorite topic or object. Almost half have a seizure disorder. Gas-tro intestinal problems and low muscle tone, which have capabilities of causing respi-ratory arrest, are properties tied to this disorder. Con-sumption of non-food items and having either high or low pain thresholds are other traits that many with Autism have.

Autistic children are highly intelligent. Early diagnosis and intervention is key for the social success.

Asperger syndrome indi-viduals are on the higher end of the autism spectrum. They do not suffer a speech delays, instead develop speech at the normal pace. Symptoms are less severe; however most of the kids getting in trouble with law enforcement are in this category. They make mistakes socially because they cannot communicate ef-fectively and lack the social skills. They tend to obsess on certain topics which can be used to law enforcements or care givers benefit when talking and interacting with the child.

Myths about autism are au-tistic individuals “do not have any emotions;” they do have

difficulty managing them. Not all autism individuals are like “Rainman” ; only a small amount of the popula-tion have the savant’ skills, in maintaining large amounts of information. Bad parent-ing does not cause Austism. People with autism are un-ruly. The four characteristics related to safety issues are: sensory overloads, social awareness, deficits in audi-tory and visual processing and stimming and separation.

A lot of beneficial infor-mation was acquired and related during the two hour workshop. The downfall has seemed to be in getting in-formation on Autism to the immediate Judicial side of the legal system, attempting to get the District Attorneys and Judges involved in training to gain a better understanding

and insight into the Autistic individuals in the Court Pro-cess. Matt Brown is willing to talk and/or visit with any and all interested parties. He currently is employed by the United States Probation and Pretrial Services program and resides and works in Portland. You can contact him via E-mail: [email protected] or phone (207) 482-3622

Planning Board Continues Work on Revising Ordinance

By Jayna Smith

On Tuesday, April 22nd, the Calais Planning Board met to continue the revision of the Business District Revitalization Ordinance. This was the second meeting that the group worked on this task, with more meetings to be held over the next two months.

Chairman Bill Barnett, Code Enforcement Officer Jim Porter, and members Gail Wahl, Herm Gadway, Everett Libby, and Bill Cody were in attendance. Absent were members Butch Alexander and Richard Ramsey.

According to the ordinance, its purpose is to promote the general welfare of the inhabitants and property owners and to preserve a positive and identifiable image for the downtown area. This will encourage private investment, increase the stability of property values, and enhance the community’s economic viability.

For an hour and a half the planning board reviewed and edited the current ordinance. Many details were retained or modified, while some were omitted due to redundancy. The final draft of the ordinance should be more concise, less repetitive, and clearly understood.

The board tentatively scheduled Monday, May 6th for their next meeting on this matter.

Spring’s Arrival Signals More Young Bicyclists and Pedestrians

Bike instructor John Sommo recently presented bicycle and pe-destrian safety to the students at Woodland Elementary School. As part of the presentation and with the help of a student, Sommo showed the group the correct way a helmet should be worn. (Photo by Jayna Smith).

By Jayna Smith

With spring certainly in the air, the school zones are not the only place drivers can find kids near the street. Children are already zooming throughout town, and drivers are encouraged to use ex-tra caution—as are the children.

Students at Woodland Elemen-tary School recently had the opportunity to learn—or be re-freshed on—basic fundamentals of bicycle and pedestrian safety. Thanks to The Bicycle Coalition of Maine and the Department of Transportation, the students took part in a presentation by bike in-structor John Sommo. This pro-gram, Sommo reported, reaches

10,000 school-aged children throughout Maine each year.

Woodland Elementary School houses grades Pre-K through 6, and each class heard valuable information. This included im-portant tips to use when crossing the street, which way to face traf-fic, and even tips for walking or cycling at night.

The A-B-Cs of biking were also discussed with the children. The students were reminded to always check the air in their tires and their brakes and chain to ensure all are working properly. Helmets were also a key topic of discussion.

Maine law requires that all children under the age of 16

years wear a helmet when cy-cling. Some students were not aware that this was in fact a law. Each got to view the proper way to wear helmets. Sommo also informed the receptive group that helmets older than five years old should not be used as the inside material dries out. This causes the helmet to be less effective in the event of an accident.

To obtain more tips and infor-mation on bicycle and pedestrian safety, or for those interested in offering a bicycle and pedestrian training program for their school or organization, visit the Bicycle Coalition of Maine’s website at www.bikemaine.org.

PERFECT HOBBY FARM OR HORSE PROPERTY!

By Dorothy Johnson

I have always had a soft spot for animals. When I was in second grade, my mother went to the Ridge School and asked Mrs. Florence Diffin, my teacher, if I could sit on the front step while she read Bambi to the other students. That story was just too sad for me.

In real life I had a few bad experiences with real animals too. Once when my father was driving the Ridge Road in the pick up, a dog came out of a driveway barking at the truck. My father turned his wheel right into the dog and hit it. He said he was teach-ing the dog not to chase cars. I was really wild about that incident.

I did some hunting when I was young. I am not proud of it, but I shot red squirrels, one gray squirrel and many porcupines. I do not shoot animals any more, but if I did, the one animal I could still kill is a rat.

I know some people have them for pets and I think they can be trained much like any domesticated animal, but they give me the creeps. Maybe I have heard too many stories about how vicious rats can be if cornered or maybe it is because they are filthy or it might be that I had a pack of them in my garage and they killed my pet pigeon. What-ever the reason, my thinking is “the only good rat is a dead rat.”

Dick, my brother-in-law, took me hunting when he came to Robbinston on his summer vacation. Those were the days when almost every town had a dump and those wonderful dumps attracted rats. We went hunting rats at the Pembroke dump on Hardy Point Road. The dump was on tidal land with large piles of garbage falling toward the water. We had a chance to walk along the dump at the top of the hill and another nar-

row path at the bottom of the dump between the water and the garbage.

Dick sent me with my single shot twenty-two to the narrow path between the water and the garbage while he stayed on top of the hill. It was a bit tricky getting there because I had to climb over a couple of logs going down the narrow path and my short, fat legs were not always long enough to clear obstacles.

Anyway, after I was down there awhile and had shot a few rats that were moving about in the garbage, my brother-in-law said it was time to go. I started toward the path out of there and there sit-ting on that log I had to crawl over was a skunk. I knew if I wanted a ride home, I would have to get out of there with-out being sprayed. That was a scary thought.

After some time with my brother-in-law calling out in-structions while staying on top of the hill, the skunk left and I hurried as fast as my short, fat legs would go to get out of there. I did not go rat hunting again.

Because the story is long and the time is short, we are going to look at a quick, short recipe for Strawberry Punch. This will be great in the warm weather we have coming.

Strawberry PunchIngredients:Ten-ounce package frozen

strawberries in syrupTwo six-ounce cans frozen

orange juice concentrateOne can frozen lemonade

concentrateSix cups cold waterTwo and one-half cups

chilled ginger aleMethod:1. Thaw strawberries. 2. Combine concentrates and

water; chill.3. Pour into punch bowl and

add ginger ale and strawber-ries. Enjoy.

In 1999, the Technology Education students of Calais High School rallied the ef-forts of the community into creating the Calais Skate-park. Guided by Randy Mc-Cormick, the department head of Tech Ed at the school, the students designed, built, and raised funds for the still-growing skatepark, now in its 14th year. The Calais Skatepark Committee held an event on Friday, April 26th to commemorate the evening, including free lessons, food, and music.

The lessons were offered by the seasoned skaters and stunt bikers of the park, who were careful to teach safe practices while guiding less-experienced enthusiasts through a series of drills and stunts. The park includes numerous quarterpipes and ramps, making it ideal for a range of skill levels. Each fixture is, for the most part, movable, allowing students to continually improve the park with the help of com-puter-aided drafting and the advanced wood-cutting ma-chinery of the school.

McCormick wears the shirt of the Grand Poobah of the Calais Skatepark Committee (his official title), though he readily points out that it was only through the will of the students that the park was built. Occasional challenges with vandalism and smoking do arise, but efforts to thwart delinquent behavior are dili-gent and ongoing. Many of the skaters and cyclists are members of the Skatepark Committee, and they treat the park with a sense of owner-ship and pride.

Two large competitions are organized each year, with one coming soon as the Season Opener (no date set yet), and the other taking place during the International Festival. Competitors will have the opportunity to showcase their

Located upstairs in the Youth section, the parenting books sit atop a bright yellow bookcase, just above the toddler books and G-rated movies. The books cover a wide variety of topics such as reading to your child, what age to begin and the long term impact of beginning early, bul-lying, creative play, quick and easy meal planning, discipline, shyness, potty training and health issues such as vaccines, illnesses, ADD, and ADHD.

In 1980, a book titled How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk was published. Written by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, it was soon a huge hit among parents seeking to take some of the everyday battles of par-enting out of their day. Now, a number of editions later, it is still a popular resource, due greatly to its down-to-earth approach and its great results. We have the 30th Anniversary Edition of the book, ready for any parent looking to build a stronger relationship with their child and communicate more

positively.In YOU: Raising Your Child,

Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen help parents navigate this often tricky journey of raising a happy, healthy child. With humor and biological insights, the doctors address infant health issues, creating an environment supportive of emotional and intellectual de-velopment, as well as various approaches to parenting. The ultimate goal of this book is to help parents become firm but flexible, while providing them with an extensive overview of health problems, from asthma to fevers to emergency room visits as well as the “sensitive issue of vaccinations”.

Reading Magic: Why Read-ing Aloud to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever is written by Mem Fox, inter-nationally respected literacy expert and bestselling author. Mem Fox explains with humor and passion why reading aloud to young children has such an impact on their ability to read. Fox writes from the viewpoint of not just a literacy expert and children’s author, but also a mother interested in helping

children to learn to read and giving them every advantage to help. The book includes prac-tical advice and activities, as well as some inspiring stories of how reading aloud has had a significant impact in the lives of other children.

Sara Ellington and Stephanie Triplett, authors of The Must-Have Mom Manual, have been successfully working together for years. In addition to be-ing best friends, they are the team behind the popular book and radio show The Mommy Chronicles, and while they rarely agree, their opinions re-mind us “there is no one right way to be a mom”. In this book, the authors share their parent-ing triumphs and disasters, marital challenges, public melt-downs, and all the knowledge they’ve gained as authors and radio show hosts. Ellington and Triplett are real mothers deliv-ering real insights, with real

laughs, as they share hundreds of tips for moms everywhere.

Penelope Leach’s Your Baby & Child is one of the most loved, trusted and comprehen-sive books in its field. Dr. Leach describes, in easy to follow stages from birth to starting school, what is happening to your child, what he or she is do-ing, experiencing and feeling. She addresses concerns such as a new baby’s wakefulness, a toddler’s tantrums, a preschool child’s shyness, aggression or nightmares, or how to time your return to work, choose day care or how to tell a child about a new baby or an impending divorce. This book responds fully to every parent’s deepest concerns about the psychologi-cal and emotional, as well as physical, well-being of his or her children.

Making healthy foods kids will love is a challenge for many busy parents. In Parents

Quick & Easy Kid-Friendly Meals, the editors of Parents magazine offer 125 simple, nu-tritious recipes for every meal of the day, as well as snacks and treats. Some of the recipes include healthy breakfasts like peaches and cream smoothies, and fast breakfast frittata, great lunches like ravioli & meatball soup, and Greek kabob salad, suppers like taco casserole and nutty noodles and also nutri-tious snacks and sweet treats. Books like this are great for getting us out of the dreaded food rut!

These are just a few of the titles from our Parenting Sec-tion. We hope you’ll take a few minutes and stop in to see what else is available at the library! Remember, as always, if there is a specific title you’re looking for and it’s not here, we can have it for you in a few days through the free inter-library loan service!

National Nurses Week to Be Celebrated May 6-12

Calais, Maine -- Every year, National Nurses Week focuses attention on the diverse ways America’s 3.1 million regis-tered nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has selected “Deliver-ing Quality and Innovation in Patient Care” as the theme for 2013.

Annually, National Nurs-es Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Night-ingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. During this week, registered nurses at Calais Regional Hospital will be recognized through

multiple activities such as raffle drawings for prizes, ice cream sundaes, and celebra-tion of Florence Nightingale. A proclamation signed by the Calais Mayor and Council Members proclaimed the week as “Nurses Week” and urged residents to honor the nurses who provide vital, compassionate care.

ANA, through its state and constituent member asso-ciations, advances the nursing profession by fostering high standards of nursing practice, promoting economic and gen-eral welfare, promoting a posi-tive and realistic view of nurs-ing, and lobbying Congress and the regulatory agencies on health care issues affecting

nurses and the public. Tradit ionally, National

Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures, and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nurs-ing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society.

Join us as we celebrate our nurses that care for the com-munity from your homes, the provider’s office and in the hospital.

Nurses’ Week.

The nice weather has encour-aged many to complete the spring cleaning of garages, base-ments, and attics which recently gave way to a weekend full of yard sales. The Calais Lioness Club’s Annual Spring Yard Sale was one such event that proved to be a bargain hunters para-dise. The sale gave a boost to the Club’s charity fund. (Photo by Jayna Smith).

Maine Senate Passes Bill to Make Handgun Permit Information PrivateBy Michael Dougherty

Following the tone set by Maine members of the House of Representatives, last Wednes-day senators from the state of Maine approved LD 345. This bill aims to make most of the information on concealed hand-gun permits in Maine confiden-tial, closing a set of records that have been “public” for the better part of 30 years.

The House of Representatives approved the bill 106-40, while the Senate voted 27-8 in favor of the bill. Both have obtained the two-thirds majority that is

needed to present the bill to Gov. Paul LePage for final ap-proval. The bill can be put into effect immediately following the signature of LePage.

“This is a bill about privacy. This is not a bill about guns,” Senator Linda Valentino, D-Saco, said while introducing the bill. This bill is an attempt to balance the public’s access to government information with the privacy of individuals who have state permission to carry a concealed handgun.

Supporters of the bill, which includes the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence and

the Maine State Police, use victims of domestic violence as an example of people who might have gun permits and whose identities need to be protected. On the other side of the argument are the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine and the Maine Press Associa-tion. These groups as well as several senators, including Stan Gerzofsky, D-Brunswick, think the permit data should remain open and used as a check on the government to ensure ap-plicants are fairly treated and not discriminated against.

Gerzofsky stated that, despite

assurances that the state po-lice can handle any additional workload as a result of this bill, he had concerns because it’s yet another job for them. “We don’t fund them for it. No, we just tell them we want them to do it,” Gerzofsky said. He questioned what other police work would not get done because of it.

In the 30-plus years that Maine’s data was open, there had been no documented prob-lems with the system, Gerzof-sky said. “It’s a reaction to a reaction to a reaction,” Gerzof-sky said. “We never really had a problem in our state.”

On both sides of the issue, one thing all involved seem to agree on, is that it’s been an emotional time for everyone. “We hope once this debate is done, we can get back to doing some of the other things that are important to our member-ship, including protection of our natural resources,” David Trahan, a former state senator and current executive director of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine said after the vote. “We’re relieved that the bill is moving forward.”

Calais Spring Concert to be a Great NightBy Quinn Sluzenski

On May 8th at 7:00, Calais Middle/High School will be presenting their annual Spring Concert, a fantastic evening of fun and great music. Chorus, jazz combo, and concert band will be performing a wide se-

lection of entertaining songs for everyone to enjoy.

The evening will be kicked off with the talented grades 7-12 Chorus. They will be singing a very different kind of piece, a medley from the popu-lar Broadway show and movie “Hairspray” with costumes and

choreography. This energetic piece will feature seniors Han-nah Sivret as Tracy Turnblad, Kolya White as Link Larkin, and Dylan Angiolillo as Corny Collins. The rest of the chorus will complete the cast. It is sure to be a very unique and exciting performance!

Next on the program is the high school jazz combo. They’ll have your feet tapping to the lively beats of “What’d I Say,” by Ray Charles, “Satis-faction,” by the Rolling Stones, and the swing song “Jump Start.” Our talented young mu-sicians will be joined by Sam Coltart, Dr. Larry Newman, and Jen Donovan for an excel-lent well-rounded sound.

The night will finish with a bang with the grades 7-12 concert band. Their pieces range from classical, to folk, to pop, but are all excellently presented by the enthusiastic players. The concert features a set of classical songs: “Grand Canyon Suite,” by Grofe, “El-ephants,” by Saint-Saens, and “Radetsky March,” by Vienna Johann Strauss. The band also has a terrific set of songs from

movies. The audience will be humming along as the students perform “Live and Let Die,” celebrating the James Bond franchise’s fiftieth anniversary, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and a medley of songs from “The Lion King,” arranged by senior band president Amelia Moody.

As always, all three musical groups are conducted by the skillful Alison Brennan. The concert is jam-packed with excellent pieces, but will only run about one hour and fifteen minutes, so don’t worry about being out too late. Admission is three dollars for adults, two dollars for seniors, and ten dol-lars for a family. Mrs. Brennan and all of Calais’ musicians hope that everyone can make it to the high school for this fantastic evening!

High School SoftballLady Blue Devils in Hunt Again in 2013

Coach Greg Smith has developed one of the top softball pro-grams in the state, and 2013 will be no exception as the Lady Blue Devils have several top quality pitchers, great hitting, and sound defense, and nearly the entire team are underclassmen!

They have begun their campaign this season with 3-wins that have allowed only 2-runs to cross the plate. At home against a quality Machias squad this past Monday Olivia Smith hurled a perfect game facing just 15-batters, with 10K and 0-walks. The Lady Devils pounded out 15-hits led by 3-each from Miranda Moffitt and Olivia Smith, and 2-each by Meaghan Cavanaugh, Madison McVicar, Paige Gillespie, and Kate Cundiff, defeating their guests 12-0.

Notes From Country ClubHi folks. Due to the overwhelming support for the Scramble

on the 18th of May, we are changing the 1 shotgun format to 2 shotguns. The first shotgun will start at 8:30 AM est. and the second shotgun will be at 1:30 PM est. By doing this, hopefully everyone will get a ride cart and this change will allow more people to participate. Oh yeah, it should speed things up a bit too. On the downside, all prizes are last year’s stock which we lay out on tables according to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place winners. We will try to keep the merchandise out as long as possible until everyone gets his or hers winnings. The two main reasons for having one shotgun was to start a little later to avoid the chilly mornings this time of year, and have everyone finish together so the winners could choose their winnings immediately following the tourney. With your help and patience, we’ll make this work for all concerned. Because of the shotgun change, I need the teams that are currently signed up to call me and let me know AM or PM. Please let me know ASAP so I can adjust the draw. Sorry about the hassle. By the way, the sun’s out at “the croix”, time for golf......yee haa! Mike.

She was joined in the scoring in the same events by( Sr) Kristen Champagne’s 6th place finishes in 7:02 & 3:11 respectively.

The boys Sprint Med-ley team of (Jr) Mikey Krug, (Jr) Cody Rohde, (Jr) Jacques Skriletz and Carle closed out the records with a 4:13.89 good for fifth place and 2 points.

BERLA ALLENFreeport - Berla Avis Allen,

90, of Ware Road in Freeport passed away on April 23, 2013 while surrounded by her loving family. She was born Septem-ber 6, 1922 in Calais, Maine to John Patrick and Berla Avis (McCoubrey) O’Neill. She was an independent Maine woman who was proud of her Scottish and Irish heritages. Her father died when she was eleven and her mother took over his job as school janitor to support their eight children. Times were tough in the Great Depression so Berla went to work to help provide for her younger siblings. She washed dishes at Gem Restaurant, and clerked at Woolworths and JJ Newberry. 1939 was an important year for the sixteen year old. She graduated from Calais Academy, managed the Mary Jane Restaurant and met her future husband Kenneth “Diddy” Allen.

They were married at Diddy’s church, the Baptist Church in Milltown, Maine on March 5, 1941 and their daughter Jacqueline was born the next June. The US Navy sent Diddy to the South Pacific during World War II and Berla stayed in Calais with Jackie until the war ended. Diddy returned home but jobs were hard to find in Calais so they moved to Freeport where Berla’s sister was living. Berla worked waitressing and then their daughter Kim was born in 1957. The Allens became active in the community and began to consider Freeport as their new hometown. Both girls graduated from Freeport High School.

They moved to Presque Isle for new job opportunities when Kim was in elementary school and lived there for 2 years while Berla worked at Converse Shoe and Diddy worked at Herman Shoe. They moved to Yarmouth and then home to Freeport. Berla worked at Freeport Shoe, ran the snack bar at the Free-port Trading Post, and was a data entry supervisor at LL Bean until she retired in 1984.

Berla and Diddy were inseparable. He played town team baseball and had a band. She attended all his games and the dances where she loved to hear him play guitar and sing. She was an avid Red Sox fan and also cheered for the Celtics. Berla knew the players and was anxious to tell you whether they were any good or not. Sunday afternoon dinners with her grandchildren were something she enjoyed. She and Diddy spent several winters in Florida after they retired. She was previously active in Eastern Star and in later years attended church services at Durham Congregational and North Yar-mouth Congregational.

She was predeceased by her all her siblings and in 2005 by her husband Diddy. Berla is survived by her daughter Jacque-line Brown of Pownal and Jackie’s sons Eric Brown and his wife Melanie of South Carolina and Kevin Brown of Pownal; her daughter Kim Merrill and her husband Lincoln of North Yarmouth and their daughters Erinn Tardiff and her husband Heath of North Yarmouth, Tara Merrill and her fiancé Dustin Goodell of Yarmouth, and Chelsey Merrill of North Yarmouth. She is also survived by six great grandchildren; Cameron, Morgan, Taylor, and Tyson Brown, Haley Brown and her fiancé Eric Christie, and Allyson Tardiff.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday May 4th at 1 p.m. at the First Parish Congregational Church, 422 Hallowell Road in Pownal, Maine. A reception will follow in the church hall. Burial will be in the Burr Cemetery in Freeport at a later date. Please visit www.lindquistfuneralhome.com to view a video collage of Berla’s life and to share condolences, memories and tributes with her family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Berla’s memory to: First Parish Congregational Church, 422 Hallowell Road, Pownal, Maine 04069.

MeddybempsDawn Winchester

What beautiful weather we are having! It is so nice to have the sun shining again! With the great weather, lots of people are out doing yard work. For those that need to do any open burning (burning of grass, debris, fields, or brush), remember to obtain a burn permit from your local Fire Warden. Here in Meddybemps, you can contact Ike Winchester at 454-2803 or Bob Gordon at 454-3216. Please remember to watch weather conditions (even with the rain we had, conditions are still dry) and especially the wind, when burning. The Maine Forest Service posts current wildfire danger condtions on their website www.maine.gov/doc/mfs/ .

A few of our local friends have been feeling a little under the weather and we are hoping they will be feeling better soon - Donna Little, Janice Frost, Ed Southard, and Gert Johnson. We are also thinking of Debbie Dow who lost her mother last week. Our thoughts are with her during this very difficult time.

Sue Oulette was recently home visiting with family and friends. Her dad, Ed Ketchen and sister Sally Ketchen, espe-cially enjoyed spending time with her, and everyone in town looks forward to her next visit.

Sunday School resumed this past Sunday. All local children are welcome and encouraged to attend at 8:45 at the Med-dybemps Church. Church ser-vice follows at 9:30 with Pastor Joe McAdams, and everyone is welcome to attend. Next Sunday, May 5th, women’s Bible Study follows the service at 10:30 under the direction of Sandy Lyon. The Meddybemps Church is having a pot luck luncheon for Helen Brooks next Sunday at one o’clock as well. Helen has retired as the organ-ist after eighteen faithful years. We certainly miss her, but she is staying busy with her large family.

Turkey hunting season be-gan this week. There are lots of turkeys in our area now, so there should be lots of happy hunters! Ike Winchester tagged his twenty pound tom first thing Monday morning.

The Meddybemps Commu-nity Center Committee had their first meeting of the year. The members approved having the building spring cleaned, having the floors done, and they have started planning the public suppers - the first supper will possibly be held the end of May. We have a beautiful Community Center, and if you would like to be involved with the activities held there, contact Linda Gordon at 454-3216. New committee members are always

welcome!The selectmen remind ev-

eryone that they meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month at the Community Center at 5:30.

On Sunday, several members of the Meddybemps Volunteer Fire Department attended a mutual training class in Char-lotte. Cooper Volunteer Fire Department’s Chief Trevor Flood and Assistant Chief Ron Flood along with a member of the Pleasant Point Fire Depart-ment also attended the class on Vehicle Safety and Inspection. The class was very good, and everyone had the opportunity to inspect all the vehicles. Weight Watchers representative Christa Vining also gave a presentation to everyone about a great op-portunity for first responders - for two weeks beginning May 19th, first responders are able to join Weight Watchers for free! More information will be com-ing soon.

Ann Small and her daughter Whitney Basset just returned home from a five day cruise to Jamaica and the Caymen Islands. They were joined by Whitney’s best friend, Mikayla Hamilton and her family. Be-fore leaving on the cruise, they all toured Millionaire Road in Miami where they viewed many of the star’s mansions, includ-ing Liz Taylor’s and Vanilla Ice’s. They also enjoyed South

Beach in Miami, and they vis-ited beautiful Key West. While in Jamaica they loved zip lining through the Rain Forest and in the Caymen Islands they were amazed by the sea life while snorkeling and swimming with the sting rays. The weather was perfect in the high 80’s, and one day it reached 102! What a great early graduation present for Whitney!

Shelby Basset is getting ready to head off to Idaho where she

will complete her co-op for her power engineering technology degree from Maine Maritime. We wish her all the best this summer!

If you would like to include any news (celebrations, visi-tors, etc.) please give me a call at 454-2803 or email me [email protected] . This column is about our com-munity, and I would love to have everyone’s input. Have a great week!

Calais Celtic ConcertsJUNO Award-winning Mary Jane Lamond and Wendy MacIsaac tour MAINE with CD release.

Calais Celtic Concerts, with New England Celtic Arts will pres-ent Legendary singer Mary Jane Lamond & Wendy MacIsaac at the Calais High School on Sunday May 5th, at 2:00 PM American and 3:00 PM Canadian. The doors will open at 1:00 PM.

Mary Jane & Wendy released their album Seinn on September 18, 2012 and it ended the year with a bang. Seinn reflects the great love and respect that Mary Jane and Wendy MacIsaac have for Nova Scotia tradition, and for each other. The record achieves a delicate balance between the musical sensibilities of two artists, showcasing traditional and original compositions among the melancholy of Gaelic song and the joy of fiddle tunes.

The Calais High School is located at 34 Blue Devil Hill, Calais Me., just off the Route 1 River Road in Calais, next to W.C.C.C. Ticket prices are $15.00 adult, $5.00 for under 15. They will be available at The Boston Shoe Store downtown Calais, and at the door. For more info/Reservations, call 207-214-2067

April vacation has come and gone, and thus starts the final climb to complete the end of year testing. The week begin-ning May 6th is full of test-ing with the NWEA for the whole school. The following Monday, May 13 is another week set aside for completion of the NWEA and beginning of DIBELS. AIMSweb has not been officially scheduled, but it is done in the month of May too. The State of Maine also sent us a surprise pack-age usually given in March. The MEA Science test for stu-dents in grades five and eight is scheduled during this time for the first time ever.

So what can parents and care givers do to help your chil-dren during this high stakes testing period? Adequate rest, good school attendance, and encouragement from the home are the greatest gifs that a child can receive during this arduous time. Additionally making sure that children are not tardy and remembering to bring eye glasses to school is equally important. This time of year clearly shows to the family, students, and teachers what a child can do academi-

cally. By providing the basic considerations possible to prepare for good test taking, everything else is up to the student to do their best work possible. Classroom teach-ers have been preparing for this time all year long. We at Indian Township School ask everyone to help our students show the Bureau of Indian Education just what they are capable of.

The annual gift to Mother Earth began last week with the bilingual program initiat-ing the Earth Day clean up of the areas around the school and Point. Teachers Brenda Lozada and Regina Nicholas along with the help of Martin Dana, Assistant Director of Environmental, are leading the whole school in this wor-thy cause.

The Afterschool Program is beginning this week. For more information, contact Donna Meader-York at school for activities and permission slips.

Ms. Goldsmith would also like to inform the commu-nity that students are run-ning their mile on Wednesday and Thursday of this week for gym. Please make sure that they bring their running shoes.

The Dragon’s DenCamille Howard

Welcome to another excit-ing edition of the Dragon’s Den. We’re back from April vacation and here until the end of the school year. We’ve got some exciting news about or-ganizations all over the school, so let’s put on our parachutes and jump right into this week’s news.

The baseball and softball teams have had their first few games of the season. Both teams played Penobscot Val-ley High School this week in home games. The girls were unfortunately defeated, but in a nail biter game the boys had a victory of 5-3. We’ll keep rooting for both teams and their players as the season continues.

The students came together on Wednesday for an assembly discussing some new classes that will be offered next year.

There are several new pro-grams; both in the classroom and that will be taught online. This is an exciting new oppor-tunity for students who want to take more specialized classes. Students can sign up for their classes anytime starting now.

Select members of the JMG Career Association went to the state JMG competition this Friday to compete against other teams for trophies in several different categories. We usually do very well, and this year was no exception. We took home three trophies, all for group oriented proj-ects. This years theme for our school’s booth was The Aveng-ers, showing that everyone can be a superhero. Great job, JMG-ers!

This week the top 10 of Woodland Jr. Sr.’s graduat-ing class of 2013 was an-nounced! The members of this year’s top ten are; Clay

White, Jake Hoops, Charlotte Southard, Natasha Lawless, Christopher Monk, JJ Ruane, Mitchel Spear, MacKenzie Hansen, Whitney Bassett, and Cody Shirley. Congratulations to these students. They’ve worked hard for their places at the top.

The drama department has been working hard on their latest production, Murder Me, Murder Me Not, and they are going to be performing this play on this Friday, May 3rd. You are all invited to see the students perform this comedy at the WHS gym at 7pm. Come out and support the perform-ing arts!

That’s just about it for this week in Dragon news. There will be more for you to read about next week, you can count on that! Until then, from the Dragons of the Den, thanks for checking in.

Calais High School

Quinn Sluzenski

This week, Calais High School is filled (as always) with sports, fundraisers, and appreciation for its talented students. After the recent Career Development Con-ference and art competition, Calais students have good reason to be proud of them-selves.

The Career Development Conference was attended by the Jobs For Maine Gradu-ate’s School-to-Work class. The students competed in cat-egories such as Public Speak-ing, Job Application Packet, and a “Market Place” Booth presentation. Amazingly but not surprisingly, the students won ten trophies overall. In-dividually, they earned five first places, one second place, and one third place award.

As a team, they took first place in Market Place Booth and took home the Golden Can Tab Award for bringing in one hundred ninety-nine pounds of can tabs.

While the JMG students were bringing home the gold, art student Paige Gillespie was gaining her own fantas-tic accomplishment. Paige recently earned second place in the state of Maine for the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Contest. She explained that her design placed the duck on a view that was “based on my aunt’s camp on Or-ange Lake.” Congratulations to Paige for her incredible achievement!

Also in the world of fine arts, the music programs are busy preparing for their spring concert. The concert will be held on May 8th at 7:00 p.m.

in the high school cafeteria. It will feature concert band, chorus, and jazz combo, as well as guest musicians Sam Coltart, Dr. Larry Newman, and Jen Donovan. The band encourages everyone to come out for a great musical eve-ning!

Also, the new members of Tri-M Music Honor Society are being chosen at this time. All third year music students with the appropriate grade and character requirements are eligible to be a part of this national organization.

The Yearbook club is doing another unique fundraiser. They are selling tickets for a dorm chest that will include a plethora of essential col-lege supplies, such as a mi-crowave, desk lamp, ramen noodles, staples, deodorant, and much much more. Two chests will be raffled off, one for a girl and one for a guy. The tickets are five dol-lars for one ticket or twenty dollars for five. At the same time, they are raffling a mini fridge with tickets at three dollars each or five for ten. The drawings will be held on June 7th.

SkillsUSA is also holding some fundraisers at this time. They are selling pre-orders of whoopie pies until May 10th for one dollar each. They are also doing a two-part raffle over the next few months. With one ticket you are put in for two drawings- a beauti-ful quilt, handmade by Gayle Moholland, and a hand-knit-ted baby blanket. Tickets are one dollar each or six for five.

As everyone knows, the SATs are coming up this Sat-urday. They are required for all third-year students in the state of Maine, and an impor-tant part of the admissions process for most colleges. Good luck to all of these students as they take on this exam!

I am pleased to announce we have scooter weather. Most of the grass is green and beginning to grow, the trees have many buds and my honeysuckle bush even has small green leaves. The forsythia is in bloom and can only get more beautiful. (Gladys McCray has a beau-tiful forsythia bush on her lawn also.) Warmer weather is here and along with it the insects are making their pres-ence known. Could we as-sume that spring has actually arrived?

Readers are reminded that the members of the People’s United Methodist Church will be holding their public supper for May on Thursday the 2nd. The main course is roast pork with blueberry cake and lemon sauce for dessert.

Members of the church are looking forward to having part time minister take the pulpit in June. The new min-ister has been in the Brewer-Bangor area for 31 years and

is looking forward to serving the Woodland Church.

Congratulations to the top ten students in the Class of 2013. It takes a true dedica-tion to be involved in co-cur-ricular activities, contribute to the school community and do all of the assignments re-quired to attain top grades. It also takes support from the home front whether it is from parents, grandparents, guard-ians or mentors. I believe this group will always be rich in work ethic and home sup-port. Their accomplishments attest to their wealth this far in both categories.

Sympathy this week is extended to the family and friends of Cindy Seamans Pratt. In 1972 Cindy was on my first teams, both basket-ball and softball. She also visited me on her gradua-tion night when I lived in Tammaro’s Trailer Park. Last summer she and I would eat at Yancy’s for her weekly “pizza fix”. I have read many obituaries saying that the deceased fought a great battle with cancer. I have

to say that in my 65 years, I have never seen anyone put up a better battle. Cindy kept her sense of humor, planned trips and held on to enjoy two visits with her grand daugh-ter and many visits with her daughter Stacey.

Cindy was also blessed to have loving nurses and care-takers in her sister Bonnie and Bonnie’s husband Bob Stadig. They moved Cindy to Princeton and with help from local agencies took care of her every need. They gave her the wonderful gift of be-

ing able to stay at home dur-ing all of her painful hours. Cindy was also blessed to have her daughter Stacey and Stacey’s father’s family help her and visit her when she was still able to get out. We were always going to ride together on our scooters, but that road trip never came to pass. Cindy will be missed by many.

Rhana Crosby Larkin also lost her courageous battle with cancer this past week-end. She loved to play bingo at the Legion Hall and could

always be counted on to have her sense of humor. Her chil-dren John and Amanda could always rely on her support especially when they were in school. Rhana has left a great hole in the hearts of many.

Rodney Dickinson former-ly of Milltown Maine passed away a couple of weeks ago in Peabody MA. His sister Susan McCray of Baileyville went down for services.

May 6th through May 12th is designated as National Nurses Week. Let’s us not forget those men and wom-en on the front lines giving medical care and attention to our ill and ailing. Those that helped my mother at Calais Regional Hospital were won-derful to her and I appreciate the work they do. Many for-mer Dragons are in this group and I was proud to see them at work in their adult lives.

The Woodland Library Trustees met last week to discuss the proposed $5000 cut in their budget. This amount represents 11.9% of the annual budget and with many locked in expenses (fuel, electricity, sewer, wa-ter, telephone), the trustees have little wiggle room to cut. The Stephen King Foun-dation Grant will help pur-chase books but those books must be books set in Maine or by Maine authors and that is rather restrictive. Like all town departments, the library trustees will do the best they can to keep a viable library service complete with mod-ern technology in town.

Big Baileyville birthday wishes are going out this week (May 3rd through May 9th) to the following: Pa-mela Newman, Jodi How-land, Shawna McDonough, Larry Hill, Jean Neddeau, Joan McLean, Ron McAlp-ine, Sue Hill, Jaycie MacAr-thur, Blake Storey, Ashley Knowles (?), Darren Laney, Bishop Dempsey and Asia Parks. Your friends and fam-ilies are wishing you a great special day.

Happy anniversary wishes are going out to David and Tammy Tupper and Bobby and Jackie Hood. Congratu-lations to the lucky couples.

Sunny thoughts and get well wishes are going out this week to Lois Gagner, Irene Glidden, Eddie South-ard, Gladys McCray, Janice Flood, Charlotte Dean, Elaine Holland, Karen Cooke, Rob-bie Redding, Sandra Blaney, Trudy Poole, Leo Perkins, Janice Ferry, Patsy Hanson, Beverly Crosby and anyone else who needs a lift.

The town is really quiet with the mill’s shut down for maintenance. We have lots of laborers in town and that can only be good for the lo-cal economy.

Stay safe and have a great week.

It’s beautiful out with the grass greening up and the trees budding out. Yesterday while I was admiring the back yard, I saw a large bird hopping and pecking at the ground. After looking through the glasses, I could see that it had a red hood on it’s head and a black bib on its chest. I looked it up in the Peterson Field Guide of eastern birds, It’s a common (yellow-shafted) Flicker which read that the Flicker often hopped awk-wardly along the ground, feed-ing on ants. It’s the first time I’ve seen one and I found it quite interesting. Our wild rab-bits also hang out in the same area. In all of the years that we have lived here, we’ve only had rabbits three summers.

TOPS 256 met for a regu-lar meeting on Tuesday night. Debbie McFarlane won the basket for best loser and also the free week. John won the raffle. Two of the KOPS re-ported on their meeting held in Bangor. They received awards for perfect attendance. They are Pauline McConvey and Su-zette Scott. This week is SRD in Bangor and a group from Calais are attending on Friday and Saturday where a Chapter Angel and KOPS Angel will be chosen by the vote of members previously.

Much sympathy to the family of Jean Pomeroy. She was a 42 year member of the Sherman Bro. Unit 3 of Calais.

Cathance Grange met on Wednesday night at 7 pm. Louise Lee gave the program. Arline Flood and Justin Day were the winners of the mys-tery march. Mary Campbell won the CWA prize. A lunch was served downstairs after the meeting minus coffee as the plug was shut off. John John-son will be returning to Maine soon. Also the Hallees for the next six months so we’ll have a better attendance.

Sidney Perkins celebrated her big first birthday at her home on Sunday with a large group helping her. Happy birthday to her,.

Those celebrating May birth-

days are: Ada Grace Townsend on the 2nd, Aaron Flood on the 3rd, Tiana Marley Whee-lock on the 11th, Frank Green on the 20th, Lori Day on the 25th, Eric Flood on the 30th, Fibber Hornbrook on the 7th, Cindy Polk on the 8th, Carle Ann Davenport on the 9th, El-eanor Clark on the 14th, Judy Townsend on the 21st, Jane Smith on the 22nd, Hilda Cros-by on the 26th, Jay Gallway on the 27th, Trevor Hold on the 28th and all of you wonderful springtime babies.

I need to correct the time from last week’s Calais Advertiser for the party for Helen Brooks. The correct time is 1 pm. All of her family and friends are invited to this occasion when we honor her for all her years of faithful service to the Med-dybemps Christian Church as organist.

My daughter Marcia Whee-lock and I both had medical appointments in Brewer on Friday. It was a wonderful day after leaving in a rainstorm in Cooper to a sunny, warm after-noon where we went coatless for the first time in spring. The appointments went well and we did a little shopping before heading home. No wild animals to report, only 3 turkeys.

Ralph and I attended the ser-vice in Woodland at the Baptist Church on Friday night with Evangelist Wendell Calder and the Hyssongs providing the music. It was wonderful and in-spiring. The place was packed with devoted church goers.

Jewel and Evan Hawkins were married April 6, 2013 in the Big Lake Campground Tabernacle officiated by Er-nest and Russell Carle. Since the ice had just left the shores of Big Lake a few days be-fore, the brisk breeze coming off the lake made for a mem-orable but short ceremony. Family and friends gathered for the reception at a cozy Rod & Gun Club. The happy newlyweds make their home in Wesley.

Sunrise Christian Church: Last Saturday several men made progress installing pine panelling, trim boards, and a new set of folding stairs to the attic. Weston Ranalli helped Ernest split and pile all the wood for heating the dining hall next winter. A new speaker system was in place

Sunday, improving both the music and message.

Friends and family of Rod-ger Furbish were saddened by his recent passing. Roger was the son of Dorothy & Church Furbish, owners of Furbish’s Store. Roger attended Princ-eton schools but left after attending two years of high school, moving to Andover, MA. Graduating from Hus-son College in 1961 summa cum laude, where Roger earned his degree in account-ing. By then he had married and had two children. In his earlier years, Roger worked in the family store where some of Princeton’s elders have fond memories of him. Sev-eral people have mentioned what a nice man he was, al-ways exhibiting a great sense of humor. I recently learned that Roger was hired in 1961 by the Federal Trade Com-mission after only a telephone interview. During his working career, he was also employed

by the Department of Interior. Roger worked more than five years in Washington, D.C., returning to Maine to work for Bates Manufacturing Co. and Bath Iron Works, retiring in 1984. In his later years, Roger could be found taking his daily walks.

Princeton Reunion Commit-tee met on Saturday to work on getting the second letter out in the mail. The Princ-eton Reunion, as mentioned earlier, will be on August 10th at the Princeton Rod & Gun Club at 12:00 p.m. Menu for the luncheon will be barbe-cued chicken and salads. If you or any family member or friend does not receive this mailing and should, please email me or call the phone number listed at the end of this column. Many positive responses have been received but several addresses are still not known.

hosted an Autism Training for Law Enforcement and Emergency personnel. Over 50 people were in attendance from all over Washington County. Officer Matt Brown gave information about what autism is as well as common behaviors seen in people with autism. Knowing what au-tism looks like is the key to dealing with a person in an appropriate manner. All at-tendees left more aware and many have requested fur-ther training. Donna Netzer thanks the Town of Princeton and its businesses as well as the school, for helping put this event together. Without

donations and support, this couldn’t have happened. Fu-ture events will be posted in advance!

Have you looked at the Downeast Lakes Land Trust web site recently? Always a great site filled with pictures and news!

In reviewing the Hinckley Township book by Minnie At-kinson it is interesting to note how July 4th was celebrated. Here is an excerpt.” Fourths of July, in the last few years, have been celebrated in the old fash-ioned manner. Water sports take place in the morning,

foot races and novel contest of various sorts in the early after-noon. A ball game concludes the afternoon sports. There is dancing in the hall from an early hour in the afternoon until late at night. Ice cream and other refreshments were for sale. Balloon men were in attendance with their colorful wares. Fire crackers and pis-tols constantly pop. Automo-bile parties from the nearest

towns come to the village, and, if the day is pleasant there is ceaseless animation”. Wow.. The more things change the more they are the same!

Sue Whitely just provided the following information. Thanks Sue. Tamara Leland, Director of Nursing at West-gate Manor in Bangor, will present a program at the James Brite Schoolhouse in Grand Lake Stream on May 13 th at
