RANGELEY — Win-ners have been announced in the The Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce and Rangeley Health and Well-ness 5th annual Best Dog on Earth Day event, which was held April 24.

Participants and their dogs went out for a 1.5 mile walk and then re-turned to the chamber for a variety of activities.

Participants who preregis-tered received a raffle ticket for a prize basket donated by

local businesses: Ecopelagi-con, Mo’s Variety, Rangeley Health and Wellness, Range-ley Lakes Chamber of Com-merce and Rangeley Region Sport Shop. The winner was Brigette Shinton.

Winners of the canine contests were determined by applause from the partic-ipants. The winners were:

Biggest Dog — Lucky, owned by Karen Seaman;

Smallest Dog — Gray-

ling, owned by Riley James;

Best Owner - Canine Look-Alikes — Strawberry and owners Hanna Pitkin and Sarah Egerhei;

Rangeley Health and Wellness Weekly Tip

LIVERMORE FALLS — Norlands Living History Center is taking applica-tions for the 2021 Gammon History Edu-cation Scholarship Awards.

This year, two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to qualifying high school se-niors or students with equivalent educa-tion credentials. To be eligible, students must be from Androscoggin, Franklin,

Oxford or Kennebec counties and have plans to enroll in post-secondary stud-ies with a history component upon high school graduation.

Qualifying students must submit a 500-word essay titled “HISTORY IS...” to Norlands by June 30. A selection committee will begin the review process in July and award recipients will be no-

tified by Aug. 15. Norlands’ Gammon History Education

Scholarship Fund was established in 2010 in honor of founder Ethel “Billie” Gam-mon’s enthusiasm for learning and shar-ing history. Gammon had a strong vision and the “bottomless well of energy & joy” to bring that vision to life. In 1973, she founded Norlands as a site where

all visitors could learn about the past through real-life experiences. Gammon developed the foundational curricula for the renowned Norlands school programs that continue to spark the imaginations of thousands of school children each year.

More information is available at nor-lands.org/latest-news or by calling Nor-lands at 207-897-4366.

THE AMATEUR WORD NERD

By Barbara McAllisterWord of the Day: Genuine

Genuine means “true” or “authentic,” from the Latin root “gignere,” to give birth, beget or produce, referring to members of the same family or clan. The same root is found in “generate,” “genus” (a group of living things), “gentle” and “progeny” (de-scendants or offspring).

In ancient Rome, progeny were deemed

genuine by the ancient custom of tollere liberum (from tollere, to raise, liberus, child), a tradition in which a man lifted a newly born infant in the air as a symbolic display of the child’s acceptance as a legit-imate member of the household.

Historians wrote of Romans who com-monly abandoned or exposed unwanted children to the elements and used infanti-cide as an accepted early method of popu-lation control before reliable contraception.

It sounds harsh in today’s world, but ancient Romans did not consider children human until they could walk and talk. It’s a theme that is widespread in ancient myths: Oedi-pus and Paris were exposed in the moun-tains; Perseus was put in a box and thrown into the sea along with his mother; Romulus and Remus, the twin boys credited with the founding of Rome, were left in the wilds to die but were saved by a wolf before being taken in by a shepherd and his wife.

Modern scholars debate whether this ritual was more fiction than fact, although they acknowledge that infanticide was known to have been commonly used. There is written evidence to suggest there was a ceremony by which the father raised up the newborn child to acknowledge it as “genuine,” but no evidence to suggest this was any more than a ceremonial gesture and it did not actually confer any legal or paternal rights.

’Genuine’ wasn’t abandoned to the elements

Some sagacious sage once observed that “It is insanity to keep right on doing what you are doing and expect a different outcome.”

Years in the woods and on the waters have taught me this adage applies as well to outdoor pursuits. Wild things, whether they be turkeys, deer or elk, are as unpredictable as April in Maine.

You get the point, right? If the hunt isn’t going well for you, try something new. Be as unpredictable as the game you are trying to outwit or out maneuver.

Here are some real life examples.

A number of years ago in the Colorado Rockies, my son and I were on the last day of what was look-ing to be a futile elk hunt during Colorado’s First Ri-fle Season. We had hunted hard. Conventional wisdom insisted that, because the weather was unseasonably warm, the elk were still up high, where the air was cool-er and few hunters had the

stamina or the will to make the lung-busting ascents to 11,000 feet and higher. We had hunted high, again with no elk sightings.

With nothing to lose we shifted gears — drastically.

We found an old forestry road that meandered along the edge of a bottom land that formed a boundary for the public land tract we were hunting. Defying the odds and the best advice of experienced elk hunters, we took the road less trav-eled. We never saw another hunter. But we did see elk, and before that Western sun dipped beneath Pagoda Peak shutting down the First Rifle Season, we filled two cow tags. We could not believe our 11th hour good fortune!

Another time, as a novice Maine turkey hunter, I dis-covered, by sheer happen-stance, the tactical value of the unconventional approach. If you are in the turkey woods walking and calling, the Tur-key Hunter’s Gospel teaches the following without ex-ception: Never, never, never overdue it with the clucks and yelps. Every turkey tactic book that I have ever read, or turkey hunting seminar that I have attended teaches that you MUST be sparing with the vocalizations. A bearded bird, however lovesick, is still wary and if he hears more

than a modicum of female clucks or purrs, he will hold back or wander away.

In the early days of Maine turkey hunting, the legal hunting day ended at noon. This particular day, noon was fast approaching. I had neither heard nor seen a bird, after walking and calling all morning. At 11:45 a. m. while sitting in a mixed hard-wood growth and polishing off the coffee in my thermos, I decided to really let go with the call box. I really yukked

it up with clucks and yelps and purrs, to the point I was laughing to myself.

Gobble….gobble...gob-ble…

There it was, not 50 yards away, a big Tom in full strut, his bright-colored antediluvi-an head bobbing as he picked his way through the tangle angling in my direction. I was almost as surprised as he was when he got within range of my 20 gauge turkey loads.

That was my first Maine turkey.

There have been some deer hunts as well when my unpredictably in the deer woods paid dividends.

If you spend any time in the woods or on the waters, you may have had similar experiences — having unexpectedly good luck when you went against the grain.

The next time your quar-ry seems elusive or impos-sible to find and you be-come exasperated, get out of the box. Go rogue. Hunt

against the grain.The author is editor of

HANDYMAN SERVICES

AUGUSTA — Whether you are remodeling your home, making needed repairs or sprucing things up to put your house on the market, the Better Business Bureau has some tips that will help make your next home improvement project a success:

• Come up with a budget and stick to it. Home improvement projects can get expensive, fast. If you don’t want to break the bank, create a realistic budget to figure out how much you can spend ahead of time. Be upfront with contractors you hire about how much you can spend on a project as well.

• Think about the pros and cons of DIY projects. If time and motivation is no problem for you, you may be able to tackle some basic home improvement projects on your own, but other projects may require further expertise. If you don’t

have a background in construction, it’s usually best to hire a contractor to help with larger projects, such as plumbing, tiling, tree removal, exterior painting, and general remodels.

• Give high priority to projects that keep your home clean and safe. If your home is in need of repairs, take care of those projects first. For example, fix that leaky roof before you give your home’s walls a fresh coat of paint. In addi-tion, don’t forget to stay on top of regular home maintenance tasks to maximize the cleanliness and safety of your home.

• Up the value of your home with a bathroom or kitch-en remodel. Remodeling your bathroom or kitchen can completely change the look and feel of your home, cre-ating a space you enjoy being in - not to mention it can add quite a bit of value to your home. For large scale remodels, hire a contractor that specializes in construc-tion and remodeling services.

• Improve energy efficiency. Save money (and the environ-ment) by improving the energy efficiency of your home. Energy saving projects that are worth taking on include checking and replacing the seals on all windows and ducts in you home, installing new windows, and looking into green energy options like solar panels.

• Get multiple quotes from contractors. When you are ready to start your home improvement project, be sure to get multiple quotes from several different companies.

Never be pressured into hiring the first person you speak with. Comparing pricing and services is a critical step in choosing a skilled contractor you can trust.

• Properly vet contractors before you hire. Even if the price is right, don’t hire a contractor before doing some research. Ask the contractor to provide references. Look up their name or company name online and pay close attention to any reviews or complaints from pre-vious customers. Verify that the contractor is licensed and insured and get an estimate and contract in writing. Read contracts carefully before you sign them.

• Think about permits. For larger projects, you may need to pay for building permits. Do you research ahead of time and understand that even if you hire a contractor, you may still be responsible for the cost of the permits.

• Don’t get scammed. Stay alert to any suspicious behavior on the part of “home improvement specialists.” Red flags include not putting things into writing, demanding upfront payment, unexpected price changes, high-pressure sales tactics, unsolicited free inspections (that usually reveal the need for an urgent repair), and cash-only deals.

For More Information on how to learn about hiring a con-

tractor, visit BBB.org, where you can find reputable roofers, painters, plumbers, and lawn maintenance specialists in your area. To report a scam, go to BBB.org/ScamTracker.

Tips for home improvement success, avoiding scams from BBB

AUGUSTA — College and high school students who hire “tutors” to complete their class assignments are finding them-selves the victims of extortion cons. BBB Scam Tracker has gotten reports about scam tutors who make money by threaten-ing to report cheating students.

How the scam worksYou are struggling in class and search on-

line for a tutoring company that can help – not by teaching you the material but by doing the work for you. Victims report paying a couple hundred dollars for “help” with assignments for math and technology classes.

As soon as you pay up, things don’t go as you expect. Instead of helping you complete

your homework, the company instead de-mands more money. They may claim it’s for “additional research” or make another excuse

When you refuse to pay, the “tutor” turns on you. They send threatening emails or text messages claiming they will contact your school and expose you as a cheater. One vic-tim reported to Scam Tracker: “Once you ask for your money back, they will try to email your school or teacher to tell them that you use them and they did your homework.”

Tips to avoid the homework scamHiring someone to complete your school

assignments is cheating. But if you want to hire a tutor to help you understand the class material, follow these tips.

• Ask for referrals. Asking friends, family, and teachers if they have any recommendations. Some schools even offer Honor Society students as free or reduced-cost tutors, so asking at school is a great place to start.

• Check references. You should ask the individual tutor or tutoring ser-vice for references, and then contact them. It’s best to speak to at least three references. Ask about their ex-perience with the tutor and what sort of results they saw.

• Decide availability and rates up front. While tutors may charge extra for ad-

ditional sessions before a big test, this should all be discussed and negotiated upfront. Last minute surprises and de-mands are signs of a less-than-scrupu-lous business.

For more information, visit the BBB’s webpage on tips for hiring a tutor, at bbb.org. Find a qualified tutor near you in the BBB directory. Read more about a similar scam, sextortion emails.

If you’ve spotted a scam (whether or not you’ve lost money), report it to BBB Scam Tracker. Your report can help others avoid falling victim to scams. Find more infor-mation about scams and how to avoid them at BBB.org/AvoidScams.

AUGUSTA — Wildlife is very active during the late spring and summer, and it’s common to come across baby fawns, moose calves, fox, raccoons and other young wildlife in fields, woodland area and even backyards, the state Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife says.

If you encounter wildlife anywhere in the Maine outdoors, remember this motto: “If you care, leave them there.” Wild animals and birds do not make good pets, and it’s against the law to possess them without the proper state and federal permits.

Picking up young wildlife might seem like the right thing to do; but in most cas-es, wildlife has a much better chance at survival when not disrupted by humans.

Is it an orphan?It is common to see a young animal alone in the outdoors, and when you do,

you may worry that it has been abandoned by its mother. It probably hasn’t. The mother-young bond in mammals and birds is very strong; and most likely, mom is just searching for food to sustain her young. The best thing you can do if you come across a healthy young animal or bird is leave it alone; and if you have pets, put them inside or on a leash so they don’t disturb the young wildlings.

For information on specific species or what to do if a you have observed a young wild animal alone for more than 48 hours and believe it truly may be orphaned, visit mefishwildlife.com/livingwithwildlife

If you encounter an injured deer, bear, moose, or turkey, contact a MDIFW biologist or game warden. For all other species, please contact local licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

The words “green up” might make most think about being more environmentally conscious, but when it comes to wildland fires it’s a term that often means local first

responders and forest land firefighters can breathe a little easier. Or does it? Changes in climate and more preva-lent drought conditions may mean “green up” doesn’t sig-nal the historical slow down for wildland fires in Maine.

In Maine, the wildland fire season begins in spring as soon as the snow melts, typ-ically sometime in March, es-pecially in the southern area of the state. As the ground surface dries the season moves toward the central and coastal areas, and eventual-ly west and north. Once fall weather arrives and nightly frosts are common, Maine’s wildland season begins to slow down; often ending with the first snows in November.

Until the last few years, April and May were the

busiest times for local fire departments when it came to wildland fire response. In many rural towns, wildland apparatus set idle for the colder months or are detailed for quick response to winter related incidents. Once the snow begins to melt, Fire Departments ready their

wildland apparatus for wild-land “first due” response. In many parts of Maine these versatile 4WD trucks, along with the firefighters that tend to them, are the best defense against a wildfire spreading deep into woods or worse yet, to structures, cars, and other potential losses.

Historically, and according to the Maine Forest Service, Maine firefighters respond to approximately 545 wildland fires a year. In 2020 that num-ber jumped to 1,150 wildland fires. Over 1000 acres burned in what was one of our busi-est and driest years on record. Even after full “green up”, when trees have leaves and grasses are green and less prone to catch fire and burn, Maine’s drought allowed our wildland fire season to prog-ress in full force.

How can you help reduce the chance of a wildland fire? Knowing the leading causes is a great start. In Maine the leading causes of wildland fires are permitted burns that grow out of con-trol, and campfires that are not properly extinguished.

The next leading cause is arson, followed by the only type of non-human wild-land fire: lighting strikes.

Following mainefire-weather.org and the Maine Drought Report form NOAA, drought.gov/states/maine, are other important ways to keep up to date on wildland fire conditions in Maine.

For additional activities to help reduce the chance of wildfire, and to protect your home from a possible wild-fire, visit the Maine Forest Service Forest Protection homepage at https://www.maine.gov/dacf/mfs/for-est_protection. And if you have or work with children, smokeybear.com, has some wonderful prevention how-tos designed especially for kids and adults.

FIRE SAFETY WITH VICKI


(Warner Bros. Pictures/Legendary Pictures)

Like any cinematic uni-verse, everything in the Monsterverse (starting with 2014’s “Godzilla”) so far has led to this. “Godzilla vs. Kong” is the highly anticipat-ed matchup between two of the most iconic movie mon-sters in a knock-down, grand brawl of the decade. While still a remake of 1962’s “King Kong vs. Godzilla,” produced by Toho, it suc-cessfully updates the story

making it more than about two giant creatures fighting. The director Adam Wingard has a horror background in films like “You’re Next” and “Blair Witch 2016.”

Some time has passed since the events of 2019’s “Godzil-la: King of the Monsters” and the Earth’s balance re-main peaceful until Godzilla shows up in Florida one day to destroy an Apex Cyber-netics building for no reason. Although her father Mark (Kyle Chandler) has no idea why, Madison (Millie Bobby Brown) figures it might have something to do with Apex itself. So, she and her friend Josh (Julian Dennison) track down podcast host Bernie (Brian Tyree Henry), who helps them break into Apex to find what sinister dealings the company is doing.

Meanwhile, Kong is liv-ing a peaceful existence in Skull Island (or at least a

mockup done by Monarch) bonding with a young deaf woman, Jia (Kaylee Hottle), through sign language as they’re being looked over by her adopted mother, Dr. Andrews (Rebecca Hall).

The plot kicks into high gear when a former Mon-arch geologist, Dr. Lind (Alexander Skarsgard), is recruited by Apex CEO Simmons (Demian Bichir) and his assistant Ren (Shun Oguri) to help the company find a new energy source in the Hollow Earth, near the Earth’s core. To get there, they will need Kong to help them get past the energy field. However, bringing Kong to the outside ex-poses him to the wrath of Godzilla. It’s not long be-fore the two monsters bat-tle for their lives first on sea, then in Hong Kong in a final showdown.

It may sound like an over-

ly-complicated plot for a movie like this, but the mov-ie handles it very well, mak-ing sure there’s enough room for story and characters when a giant monster fight occurs. Not only they made Kong the lead protagonist, but he also provides the cen-tral heart through his heart-warming friendship with lit-tle Jia that feels like E.T. but with more destruction. With Godzilla as the antagonist, it allows for more tension and suspense, as both sides from the human’s point of view fight to regain peace.

When the two do throw punches, the movie becomes the kind of great slam-bang extravaganza audiences hav-en’t seen in quite some time. The fight on the sea brings the intensity as well as ex-plosions, while the climatic brawl in the neon-lit city of Hong Kong, becomes an un-forgettable light show.

But just when you thought things couldn’t get any bet-ter, the movie throws in a surprise opponent that be-comes the cherry on top of this delicious sundae. Plus, it’s all set to a fantastical score by Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) with some se-lections of vintage songs to enhance the experience.

At one point, some of the characters end up in the Hollow Earth, which is a stunning display of unusual imagination and beautiful artistry. Some may find that part too weird for the casual eye, while others will enjoy such bold grandeur within a fun monster movie.

Though the monsters shine the most in this film, the human characters still find a way to bring effort to the story. Both Skarsgard and Hall are believable on the Kong front, as well as a groundbreaking performance

by young Hottle. While re-turning cast members Chan-dler and Brown are most welcome, the scenes on the Godzilla side belong to Hen-ry in a hilarious performance. On the villains’ side, Bichir and Eiza Gonzalez as the CEO’s daughter does fine work adding levity to their one-dimensional characters.

“Godzilla vs. Kong” is a real godsend to the mov-ie-going public restoring faith in the big-budget Hol-lywood blockbuster. The digital artistry combined with a good story of mon-sters fighting is exactly what the entire world needs right now. It demands to be seen on the big screen as surely such further 2021 titles.

Red Flag Warning – Gi� Card Payments

A key part of being able to spot a scam is knowing the red fl ags – those signs that suggest that just maybe what you’re confron� ng isn’t legi� mate. One of the biggest red fl ags these days is anyone who tries to convince you that you owe some debt or other obliga� on, and the quickest way to address the issue is to purchase gi� cards and share the informa� on off the back.

Why gi� cards? First, they are readily available. You see them at your grocery store, department store, and hardware store. Second, it’s a way that criminals can get your money instantly and the money is easy to move around. As soon as a target sends the numbers to the gi� card they’ve purchased, the criminal is able to convert it to currency in an instant. Not surprisingly, the Federal Trade Commission reports that gi� cards have been the most common form of payment in scams since 2018.

Any� me you are directed to pay a debt or other obliga� on with a gi� card, it is a scam.

Be a fraud fi ghter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.

Visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call the AARP Fraud Watch Helpline at 1-877-908-3360.
