By Amy Jeanroy

On Monday, November 1, town officials, community leaders,representatives from CRH and members of the Baileyville community gathered for a rib-

bon cutting event to celebrate the opening of the CRMC Baileyville Heath Services located next door to the Baileyville town building.

The office will provide local healthcare services for area resi-dents on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Karen Davis, FNP and Blaire Siefken, FNP will alternate cov-erage of the new location. On days the office is not open the calls will transfer to the CRMS Family Medicine office. CRMS patients will be able to see the

Provider at either location, Calais or Baileyville.

Town Manager Rick Bronson noted that the opening of the medical center is on par with what he refers to as "The New Baileyville," saying "We have

the mill expansion, we have the new Baileyville Health Services, and we are working on a change in the schools; all good news for Baileyville."

Appointments can be sched-uled by calling 454-9361.

New Baileyville Health Services Opens

By Amy Jeanroy

Home to approximately 55 Sol-diers from the 1136th Transporta-tion Company, the Calais Maine Army National Guard Readiness Center revealed a completed updated building Saturday dur-ing a ribbon cutting ceremony. The Armory upgrades started in 2014 and cost $4.6 million dollars; a combination of federal and state bond money. The reno-vations focused on modernizing

the building and making energy efficiency improvements.

The improvements to the build-ing included replacing heating, ventilation and cooling systems, replacing lighting fixtures, replac-ing flooring throughout, a new kitchen, insulation throughout the facility, replacing windows and most of the roof (excluding over the drill floor as the roof was replaced in 2008), a fire suppres-sion system, and new electrical system to meet current National

Electrical Code requirements."The Calais Readiness Center

renovation project is an outstand-ing example of what can be ac-complished when the community, the State, the National Guard, and contractors understand the goals and keep the focus on the finish line," said Col. Dwaine E. Drum-mond, Director of Facilities and Engineering for the Maine Army National Guard.

CHS Holds Annual Rock-A-Thon

By Kaileigh Deacon

For many of us it would be hard to imagine what it would be like to wake up on Christ-mas morning to nothing; no presents, no decorations, noth-ing. But Calais High School Students are working to help some kids get that. Members of the Calais High School Stu-dent Council, National Honor Society, and Class Officers participated on Monday in the annual Rock-A-Thon.

The Rock-A-Thon is a fund-raiser that the Student Council and National Honor Society take on every year. The stu-dents raise money for time spent rocking in rocking chairs at the Calais High School Li-brary. While the students rock they can, play video games,

read, listen to music, some even knit and do homework. “It’s a good time for us,” Student Body President Jack Lander said, “it’s not often we all get to be in the same room and just hang out.”

But there is much more than just “hanging out” going on here these students are raising money for a very worthwhile cause. All the money that the students raise goes toward purchasing presents for the stu-dents at the Calais Children’s Project that stay at the school over the Holidays. The students receive a list of what each stu-dent wants and then they go out shopping locally and try to pick up as many of the items on each kid’s list as they can. Then the students having a wrapping party to wrap all of their gifts before going over to the Chil-dren’s Project to decorate and deliver the presents.

“It’s a good cause and it’s one of our biggest fundraisers,” Lander said. “It’s also our most important, it’s very necessary and these kids deserve it.”

The students set a goal of $1500 and the group of 26 students has already raised $2000, with more donations still coming in.

Even though the Rock-A-

Thon has ended you can still help these students make Christmas dreams come true. If you would like to help or make

a donation you can contact any Student Council member or National Honor Society. You can also contact Calais High School and get in touch with Lori Ellis.

Have Violin, Will Travel

Jasmine Reese II and her dog Fiji stopped briefly in Calais before continuing on their world tour, by bicycle. (Photo by Amy Jeanroy).

By Amy Jeanroy

Fresh from Canada, and biking down Route 1 in Calais last Monday, Jasmine Reese, 28, is starting the next leg of an epic 6-year journey with her dog Fiji. Reese, a violin player, has plans to play with musicians as she travels the world.

No stranger to long-distance bike travel, in 2013, she and Fiji rode across the United States. “It was sort of an ego booster for me,” she said, I felt as if I was stuck in a rut. and that’s when I started thinking about riding across the country.”

Her travel companion Fiji is a rescue dog with plenty of energy. According to Reese, Fiji runs about 20 miles a day, and she cer-tainly wasn’t ready to stop while Jasmine and this reporter spoke; pulling against the special bar that held the leash to the bike, and whining softly as the minutes passed.

With plans to dodge the cold weather by going to Florida for a few months, Reese and Fiji will be headed to South Korea after that. She has planned her route based on countries that won’t have a quarantine for Fiji. Other than a general list of countries she can legally get to with her dog, there is no concrete plan. The two are relying on luck and ingenuity to get to each step in their journey. With only a loose timeline to adhere to, both Jasmin and Fiji will enjoy a beautiful trek down the east coast, leaving the cold weather behind.

Jasmine uses social media to keep friends updated on her where-abouts, and it is also critical for finding the next place she will be staying. To follow her journey, check out her official website: www.Fijapaw.com

Community Rallies to Support Devil’s Head

Your Partner in Health - The Nurse Practitioner

The role of the nurse practi-tioner (NP) is showcased No-vember 13 - 19, as NPs across the country celebrate more than 50 years of practice during Na-tional NP Week. In the United States, this distinguished group of health care professionals number approximately 222,000 strong with an additional 20,000 NP students graduating each year.

NPs offer a unique combina-tion of health care service to patients. Focusing not only on diagnosing and managing acute and chronic illnesses, NPs inte-grate health promotion, disease prevention, counseling and pa-tient education to help patients understand their complete health picture. In a population that is aging, with baby boomers becoming seniors in growing numbers over the next ten years, having choices about health care providers will become even more important. National NP Week brings visibility to the role of the NP, helping consumers make wise choices when select-ing their health care provider.

Nurse practitioners are ex-pert clinicians with advanced training who provide primary, acute and specialty health care. They offer high-quality, cost-effective, patient-centered health care. There are many reasons

to choose a NP as your primary provider:

-NPs provide a full range of services, such as ordering, performing and interpreting diagnostic tests; diagnosing and treating acute and chronic condi-tions; prescribing medications and treatments; and managing overall patient care.

-NPs have master’s degrees, and many have doctoral degrees, as well as advanced education and clinical training.

-Patients whose primary care providers are NPs have fewer emergency room visits and shorter hospital stays, resulting in lower out-of-pocket costs.

-NPs emphasize the health and well-being of the whole person in their approach, including helping patients make educated health care decisions and healthy lifestyle choices.

-The confidence patients have in NPs is demonstrated by the more than 870 million visits made to NPs each year.

Join Calais Regional Hospital in celebrating and honoring the role NPs play in the health of our patients. If you are already seeing a NP, take a moment to say thanks. If you are looking for a primary care provider consider one of the great NPs available at CRMS. You’ll be glad you did.

The efforts to rehabilitate and expand the Devil’s Head conservation area have received a gracious boost from commu-nity members as a result of a recently held raffle. The raffle, which was for either $200 or for a cord of donated wood, gener-ated $1,050 in ticket sales. The winners, John and Judy Knapp, opted to donate their winnings back to the cause, while at least one community member has of-fered to buy the wood outright

in addition to further promote the cause.

The Friends of Devil’s Head—being the group of volunteers coordinating the rehabilitation—wish to express their thanks to all who purchased a ticket as well as to Ace Hardware and the Community Thrift Store for their assistance in selling tickets. The Friends have applied to become a nonprofit organization, and once that paperwork is finalized then the group will actively ac-cept and solicit donations from area businesses.

In the past year, volunteers and organizations have worked together to restore and clear the access road, bathrooms, and pic-nic area, in addition to building a new trail. The group now aims to restore or replace the steps lead-ing to the beach with an accom-panying handrail, in addition to other planned projects.

For more information about the Friends of Devil’s Head, or for photos of the new trail, visit facebook.com/friendsofdevils-head online.

Honoring Our Veterans on November 11th On the eleventh hour of the

eleventh day of the eleventh month, ninety-eight years ago, the Armistice agreement be-tween Germany and the Allies went into effect, marking the cessation of fighting on the Western Front and the conclu-sion of the tragic hostilities of World War I. This day holds a sacred place in our history as a Nation, and in turn, has become a dedicated occasion to com-memorate all those members of our community who bravely wore and continue to wear the uniform to protect our safety

and security. I am humbled to join people throughout Maine and across the country in hon-oring the selfless service of our Veterans, and in recognizing the eternal debt we owe them and their dedicated families.

While Armistice Day origi-nally commemorated the con-clusion of the War that was intended to end all Wars, it also reminds us that today, the United States remains actively engaged in conflicts across the globe. In the vigilant defense of national security and for the preservation of the freedoms

we hold dear, our brave Sol-diers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen continue to serve on behalf of their com-munities. May their service inspire us, as a community, to rededicate ourselves to the duty of caring for the veterans who have returned home.

The people of Maine have long embraced this duty, and our state has a hallowed his-tory of sending our sons and daughters to bravely defend the safety, security, and values of the United States of America. With nearly one in ten mem-

bers of our community having served in the armed forces, Maine has one of the highest numbers of veterans per capita in the country. This spirit of service is evidenced not only in the willingness to wear the uniform, but also in the stead-fast commitment of the Maine people to care for those who have returned.

To celebrate this commit-ment, I was honored to join a celebration earlier this year to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Togus Vet-erans’ Hospital. As the oldest

operating veterans’ hospital in the country, Togus has acted as a groundbreaking model of service and care. Nevertheless, there is still a great deal of work to be done for veterans who struggle with access to health-care, suffer with unemployment and poverty, or are unable to find affordable housing. Let us join together to honor our brave veterans – and to lend credence to their sacrifices – by reaffirming our commitment to supporting each and every one of them.

Washington County Community College Computer Technology Program in Search of Advisors

The Computer Technology Program at Washington County Community College held an advisory committee meet-ing at the college on October 3rd. Alan Kryszak, campus IT manager at the University of Maine at Machias, spoke as the featured presenter. Kryszak is an example of exactly who the program is looking to attract for the advisory committee: computer professionals with an interest in fostering the de-velopment of IT in Washington County.

The Computer Technology Program [CTP] is only a few years old at WCCC, but un-der the guidance of instructor

George Chmielecki and the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training [TAACCCT] pro-gram, it has blossomed. Dozens of students have been learning skills in classes ranging from software programming to hard-ware networking, and all things in between.

However, technology is not static—in fact, it is constantly evolving. To keep up with the changes in the field of tech-nology and ensure that the program remains as relevant as possible for local businesses, the program is actively seeking new advisors for the advisory committee.

“The goal is to have all the computer technology profes-sionals in Washington County on the advisory board,” Kim Landrau, TAACCCT coordina-tor, said. “Then they can shape the program in the direction they want it to go.” The CTP began at the college with the assistance of the TAACCCT grant program, meaning it is designed to create a smooth transition for students directly into the workforce.

Current advisors to the pro-gram include local experts in industries connected with banking and social services, illustrating how technology is interrelated with nearly every

field. Part of the responsibilities of the council are to work with CTP students to provide “soft skills” and to answer questions related to employment in the area. There are also numerous benefits to being on the coun-cil, including the opportunity for professional growth and development.

To become an advisor for the CTP, contact Kim Landrau at (207) 454-1009. The next meet-ing is anticipated to be held at WCCC in April. The program aims to offer its advisory com-mittee meetings in an online format in the future to ease transportation barriers.

Maine Judge Awards $729K to Injured Blueberry FarmworkerA j u d g e h a s a w a r d e d

$729,845 in damages to a sea-sonal blueberry farmworker who nearly died of heat stroke while on the job.

Justice William Anderson issued his decision Wednesday in favor of 38-year-old Michael Lund of Machias. The judge decided that Millard A. Whit-ney & Sons, Inc., the blueberry harvesting company that hired Lund, is negligent and respon-sible for the injuries he suffered on March 22, 2012. The award covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent impairment.

Justice Anderson presided over the civil trial that was held Sept. 19-23 at the Penobscot Judicial Center in Bangor. It

was a bench trial, meaning that Justice Anderson alone heard the evidence and decided the outcome, instead of a jury.

Attorneys Travis Brennan and James O’Connell of Ber-man & Simmons represented Lund. Brennan thanked Justice Anderson for his careful con-sideration of the facts, and said he was pleased for his client.

“This case was about the obligations employers have to protect employees when they require them to work in extreme heat or other hazard-ous conditions,” Brennan said. “By standing up for Michael, Berman & Simmons also stands up for the thousands of work-ers in Maine who deserve safe working conditions.”

Lund was hired to work on a seasonal crew that was burn-ing blueberry fields on an 85-degree day in March. Burning is still a common practice for regenerating blueberry crops. Lund, who had never partici-pated in a field burn, was given insulated coveralls to wear and told to walk behind a burning machine, Brennan said at trial.

After working into the after-noon, Lund lost consciousness and was rushed to a local hospi-tal, where his body temperature was measured at 108 degrees. He was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to the ICU at East-ern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. The heat stroke caused rhabdomyolysis, a condition that resulted in permanent dam-

age to the muscles in Lund’s legs and right shoulder. Bren-nan argued that Whitney & Sons failed to take basic steps to protect Lund from heat stroke, such as providing employees with training on how to identify and respond to symptoms of overheating.

“The blueberry industry is vital to Maine, particularly in Hancock and Washington coun-ties where harvesters and pro-cessors are major employers, and jobs are scarce,” Brennan said today. “But no companies are exempt from the basic duty to protect their workers. When companies don’t meet those obligations, we need to hold them accountable.”

Robinson Ballet to Perform “The Nutcracker” at UMM Nov. 19The Robinson Ballet Com-

pany of Bangor will bring Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic, “The Nutcracker” to the Uni-versity of Maine at Machias with a pair of performances on Saturday, November 19.

Performances in UMM’s Performing Arts Center will be held at 3 and 7 p.m.

Peter Tchaikovsky, one of the world’s best-known sym-phonic composers, wrote the ballet in 1892, near the end of his life. The Robinson Ballet Company has been producing “The Nutcracker” for more than

30 years, including 31 perfor-mances at UMM.

The sponsorship of Kelco In-dustries, through owners Doug Kell Sr. and Doug Kell, Jr., has been crucial for the appear-ances of the Robinson Ballet in Machias, according to UMM President Sue Huseman.

“We appreciate the generos-ity of Kelco Industries and the talents of the Robinson Ballet Company. Each year is a gift to Washington County residents,” said Huseman. “The people here eagerly await this perfor-mance each year, and UMM is

pleased to be able to continue this holiday tradition.”

The Kells are Ellsworth and Milbridge businessmen who have many ties with the Univer-sity. For six years Doug Kell, Sr. served on the UMM Board of Visitors, an advisory body to the president, with three of those years as the board’s chair.

As in past years, schools and organized youth groups can make reservations for the 3 p.m. matinée performance until November 7. After that, the matinée tickets will be

available to the general public on November 8. The matinée performance has always filled up early, and seats may not be available unless they are reserved in advance.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $6 for senior citizens over 60 and youth aged 12-18, and $3 for youth under age 12. Advance ticket sales will begin on No-vember 7.

For more information or to reserve or pay for advance tick-ets after November 7, please call Barbie Holmes at (207) 255-1370.

Houlton, Maine – Chris An-derson, President of the F. A. Peabody Company (FAPCO) announces that Jean Morrison has been promoted to manager of the Calais office.

Another Fun-Filled Basket-Making Workshop in CooperAmid a fun day of talk, laugh-

ter, and free-flowing food, bas-kets were being created by the attendees of the latest basket making workshop at the Coo-per Community Center (CCC) on Saturday, October 15th.

This third in a series of basket making workshops with well-known local crafter, Thursa Sawyer, instructing was de-voted to a basket quite different from the previous baskets in the series. This one was a flat-backed wall hanging basket. Thursa’s own basket, which she showed as an example, has been hanging by the inside front door of her house for thirty some years to keep gloves, car keys, letters to mail, etc.

Crafters used the multi-col-ored strips to make a variety of designs on their baskets and went home with a beautiful basket to add to their collec-tion or to start a new collection. Previous designs in the series

were a rectangular market bas-ket and a round spring basket with colored strips and a fancy handle.

This day long workshop, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, was made more palatable by free-flowing food: coffee and donuts in the morning, a luncheon which started with appetizers of smoked salmon/cream cheese and cheese/cracker platters followed by lunch catered by the “Friends Café” consisting of chili, rice, tortilla chips and all the fixings for taco salads; beverages of coffee, tea, ice tea, and lemonade; and for desserts: an elegant “Pumpkin Surprise” sheet cake baked and donated by Carmen Perkins of Calais, and brownies by Ellie Sullivan of Cathance Township. Bever-ages and cookies were avail-able for the rest of the day.

This event was sponsored and hosted by the “Cooper Community Center Friends”

(CCCF) who want to thank all those who made this work-shop such a rounding success. Special thanks to Mary Dunn who donated a massive amount of basket making materials, enough for many more work-shops.

The mission of the CCCF is to provide events and activities in the CCC so that the people of Cooper and the local area can enjoy the company of their friends and neighbors as well as to manage a building fund in order to maintain and make

improvements to the CCC building.

For information on coming attractions, contact Joanne 454-7383, email: [email protected], or visit or Facebook page: “Cathance Cooper Friend”.

Opinion

Historical ResponsibilityBy Rob Patry

Walk down any street in St.

Stephen or Calais and you will see a house or building that adheres to someone’s vi-sion of the past. It can strike a chord from their child-hood, or bring up a sense of pride and appreciation. Our respective towns have been frozen in time, which juxtapose between the past and the present. Represent-ing multiple symbols for generations who have visited or lived in this area, they are a colloquial manifestation of our community, our tradi-tions, and our beliefs. To not attempt to preserve the sacred import they have garnered over generations would be a crime against the annals of history. It is our duty to preserve this legacy for gen-erations to come, not to see it as a dichotomy between the now and then. I think back a few years ago when a deplorable incident occurred in Belize when a 2,300-year-old pyramid was bulldozed so its crushed rock debris could be used for a road-building project. This to me is not only absurd, but is tantamount to a historic annihilation. As custodians of this planet we have an obligation to protect these monuments from this sort of obtuse behavior. We cannot continue to ignore the importance of these historical buildings. The pyramids of Giza, the Acropolis, the Ro-man Coliseum, and Temple of Angkor Wat are the creations remaining in the forefront of our ancestral subconscious. Often these splendid old homes, gardens, buildings, or bridges are located in our very backyards. They may have fallen into disrepair over the years, or have been over-grown by foliage and time, yet within their walls remain stories of grander times and of opulence, which may have withered away.

I am not against the advent of progress or technology, but often I think we are too quick to jump at the oppor-tunity to demolish an edifice, which may offer some sort of historical value to our towns. We all know of a home ly-ing in ruin or in a state of disheveled glory, vandalized over the years, or neglected for so long, that the lack of caring seems to pass on from owner to owner, or tenant to tenant. What do we know of these places? How proud the architects, designers, build-ers, and ultimately initial homeowners must have been and felt about them. There is a lost romance and a discon-nect occurring when we let a home or building fall into such a bad physical condition. So many buildings and homes carry with them a legacy once removed, will be erased from the planet forever. Only to be recalled in photograph, light

conversation by those elderly enough to remember, or in the inquisitive minds of the few who even care anymore.

Sometimes, the flaw lies in our own disinterest of eras gone by. We now have heritage home sites, which protect the properties via government legislated desig-nations. We have a collective responsibility to protect these properties. What can we do about this sad, and often re-alistic trend? We need to start in our own areas, on our own streets and avenues. We have local accountability to not let historic areas and homes slide down the inevitable slope of ruination. Restoring and moving into an older home brings pride to the street and a personal satisfaction of stewardship for a house that may have a large amount of value in the city, town or vil-lage history.

We cannot all do this of course. What we can do is have respect and empathy for these buildings. Try and care and understand them. Partake in any political oppor-tunities to salvage them. We must try to protect buildings, warehouses, manufactur-ing facilities, churches, and cemeteries. If you read in the paper there will be a meeting to discuss the tearing down of a structure you feel is of value – speak out. Write it in a letter. Discuss it in social media. They are relying on you to protect and maintain them. If we turn a deaf ear, one day they will be gone, and only a memory will last. And this, over time, will fade as well. It is future generations who will lose the benefit of knowing their past.

By combining your advertising in both the Calais Advertiser and the Machias Valley News Observer, you will benefit from the largest Paid Weekly Circulated Community Newspapers in Northern Maine. We are not the most easterly, but, we are the most weekly circulated newspaper coverage your adver-tising money can buy.

Why is Paid Weekly Circulation the ONLY true measure of a newspaper’s value for advertising return on investment? Weekly flexibility and delivery into the hands of readers, also because the others may only reach out every 14 days as opposed to every 7 days and others may claim wide county coverage but don’t want you to know its a cheap free paper so their actual reach is maybe 500, maybe 1000, who knows, as free papers can’t actually prove their readership num-bers. Readers vote with their pocketbooks when buying at the newsstand. By far The Calais Advertiser and the Machi-as Valley News Observer are the most purchased and read newspapers (4 times per month) in Washington County. The facts are indisputable.

We publish and circulate over 4662 PAID copies every week in Washington County.

A Newspaper’s value is directly proportionate to what read-ers are willing to pay for it. We are the oldest news sources in the county. Since 1836 in the case of Calais with 180 years, and in the case of Machias over 164, so we are confident in saying we have been serving Washington County the lon-gest.

The Calais Advertiser and the Machias Valley News Observ-er offer an unmatched combination in Washington County. Advertise with us today and reach 11,000 Readers.*

Out and About By Dorothy Johnson

The weather is getting cooler, but the sun is welcome to continue shining on the farm. We have had two solid frosts and one night the birds’ water froze so we had a sheet of round ice in the morning. Really, I do not think anyone in this area has anything to complain about as

far as our weather goes.Saturday was a beautiful day for

the many craft fairs in the area. Both the Charlotte Fair and the Education Boosters’ Craft Fair were well attended with many supporters, vendors and shoppers and both venues had a number of raffles, great choices for a hot lunch and bakery items for sale. While

we are on the subject of craft fairs, this is a reminder that the People’s United Methodist Church members of Baileyville will hold their holi-day sale on Saturday, November 12th beginning at 9:00 a.m. and the Perry Elementary School will hold its annual craft sale on Saturday, November 19th, also beginning at 9:00 a.m.

The Calais community was saddened to hear of the passing of long time Calais teacher May-belle Cobb Clark. Maybelle grew up in Calais, received her degrees from college and came back to Calais to teach and raise her family. She was always a willing worker in her church and in several organizations in the area. Last year, Maybelle moved to the southern part of Maine to be near some of her adult children and grandchildren, She was highly respected when she was here and she will be truly missed by her loving family members and her many friends.

Also passing last week was Charles Bridges of Charlotte. Charlie, as he was called by his friends, worked for Georgia-Pacific when the company spent summers planting new trees in areas that had been clear cut. His daughters, Becky and Vivian, were Woodland Dragons years ago and they both spent time taking care of their mum and dad when their health was failing. Sympathy is extended to the family and all of his friends.

The Soup and Poetry Gathering at the Calais Free Library was attended by 15 participants who had a great time conversing and reading their own poetry and the poetry of others. At-tending for the first time was Rob Patry, a new writer for The Calais Advertiser. Patry also writes for the St. Croix Courier.

J.J. Hanson’s condition is as good as can be expected. He is healing, but of course, has good days and bad days with the pain. Alvie (Hanson), his grandfather, says he has had several operations and that he has a long road of recovery ahead. Nanette Chappeaux, his aunt, has come home from Kansas to help her folks with the transportation back and forth to the hospital in Lewiston. J.J. is the son of Butch Hanson and the grandson of Patsy and Alvie Hanson of Woodland. He was hurt in a work accident. J.J. has been receiving many cards from well wishers in this area and he thoroughly enjoys them so please keep the mail men busy. J.J.’s address is still J. J. Han-son, Central Maine Medical Center, 300 Main Street, Lewiston, ME 04240. I am not sure of his room number, but he will get any mail sent to this address.

The Riverside Rebekahs held their monthly food sale at the Foodmart in Woodland on Fri-day. I was happy to find some mincemeat-filled cookies and an apple pie. The Rebekahs are holding a drive for supplies for Sarah’ House in Brewer. They have boxes around town for donations of paper towels, toilet tissue, bottled water and non-scented laundry detergent. They are also taking monetary donations for this project. Many cancer patients are wel-comed at Sarah’ Place when they are traveling to Penobscot County for their treatments and the facility has been a Godsend for Washington County folks. The Rebekahs are also taking pie orders for Thanksgiving. If interested, just call Polly at 796-2230.

In Dennysville, the Lincoln Memorial Li-brary is keeping its open hours on Mondays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m and on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. New adult books at the library are “The Japanese Lover” by Isabel Allenda, “Tilly” by Catherine Cookson and “The South African Quirt” by Walter Edmunds, the author of “Drums along the Mohawk”. Book lovers are always to re-quest particular books. Just leave the informa-tion (author and/or title along with your name) with or for Ann Carter. The library number is 726-4750.

Next Sunday (November 13) the Dennys-ville-Edmunds Congregational Church will hold its “Every Member and Friends’ Sunday. Anyone who has ever attended is invited to join the service. Next Saturday the members of the church will hold a luncheon in honor of Roy and Jennie Kilby’s 50th anniversary.

Special hellos are going out this week to Avis McIntyre, Elwin Daley, Susan McCray, Barbara Kneeland, Pastor Randy Chretien and anyone else who needs a lift. Also this week very happy belated birthday wishes are going out to Iris Brown.

Stay save and enjoy your week.

NO JOB TOO SMALL

MAY BELLE CLARK Calais, Brewer,and Gorham – May Belle Clark, joined her husband in Heaven on Tuesday, November 2, 2016 with her family by

her side at Mercy Hospital in Portland. May Belle was born in Calais on December 19, 1930, daughter of Dr. Norman and Ruth (Knapp) Cobb. She graduated from Calais Memorial High School, Class of 1948, and from University of Maine at Orono in 1952, where she majored in Home Economics and Elementary Education. On August 16, 1952, she married the love of her life, Harley Clark Jr. They remained happily married for the next 58 years.

May Belle started her teaching career at Woodland Elementary School, where she taught for 4 years. She transferred to the Calais School system as a First Grade teacher and later became the High School Home Economics teacher. While at the high school she was instrumental in starting the Childcare Preschool Program. Especially precious to her was the opportunity to have many of her grandchildren begin their educational foundation in her preschool program. Among other activities, she served for many years as the cheerleading advisor, senior class graduation coordinator and class advisor. After her fulfilling 35 year teaching career, she retired in 1990.

May Belle’s Christian Faith was a real and ever-present part of her life. She attended Second Baptist Church in Calais, Advent Christian Church in Milltown, and Bangor Baptist Church. At each church, she enjoyed singing in the choirs, performed solos, duets and trios. During her time at the 2nd Baptist Church, she was part of the church’s weekly radio ministry on WQDY with Dr. Ginn. She sang as a member of that ministry with Connie Walton and Arlo Ginn. While living in Florida, she and Harley enjoyed many years of traveling and performing concerts as members of their church’s Gospel choir at various churches throughout Florida and other southern states.

May Belle was a member of Orion Chapter #45 Order of the Eastern Star in Calais, and served as Mother Advisor for the local Rainbow Girls. In the 1980s she started the West Point Parent Association of Maine. While serving as president, she provided relevant information and coordinated actives for the parents of West Point Cadets from the State of Maine.

During her retirement years, she and Harley wintered in Lake Wales, FL and on St. Simons Island, GA. Together, they enjoyed going to church gospel concerts, golfing, and traveling with their Florida friends. Their travel exploits included cruises through the Panama Canal and climbing Dimond Head Volcano in Hawaii.

In addition to her parents, May Belle was predeceased by her beloved husband, Harley Clark Jr. and sister, Barbara Cobb Madden. Surviving May Belle are her four children, Teresa Clark Cassidy and her husband Edmund Cassidy, of St. Simons Island, Georgia, Glen D. Clark and his wife, Kristina of Gorham, Lori Clark Frost and her husband, James Frost, of Brewer, Harley Walter (Wally) Clark and his wife, LaVonne, of Windham. May Belle is survived by her 10 beloved grand-children. Ryan Cassidy and his wife, Carrie, of Brewer, Erin Cassidy Lawson and her husband, Will of San Antonio, Texas, Meghan Cassidy Joca and her husband, Stephan (Buddy) of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Chelsea Clark of San Diego, California, Alyssa Clark of Scarborough, James Frost Jr. and Jenna of Windham, Katie Franzoni and her husband Matthew of Windham, and Andrew Frost of Valdosta, Georgia, Austin Clark and wife Jamie of Windham, Alex Clark of Fort Benning,

The Family of Ramona L. SmithWould love to say thank you to everyonewho helped with the care of Ramona. Andthank you to all you sent their much neededlove, prayers, and support at this verydifficult time.It was greatly appreciated!

Signed with Love,Pastor Tom Smith and Family

Georgia; her 11 much-loved great-grandchildren, Courtney, Chase, Tyler, Conner, Jacob, Stephen, John, Parker, Carly, Landon, and Ellis; and her sisters-in-law Joyce St. Pierre, Eleanor Clark, Gloria Clark and Kay Clark.

The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to the loving and compassionate staff at the Inn at Village Square in Gorham for the excellent care given to May Belle during her time there. Special thanks to the outstanding staff at Mercy, who provided May Belle and the fam-ily comfort, spiritual support and peace during her final days. Thanks, also, to the many doctors, medical support staff, and family friends, especially Merlene, who provided excellent care and sup-port for May Belle while she was in Brewer and Gorham. And, a very special thanks to the Aging Excellence staff members, Jackie and Valerie, who took the extra effort and time to care for May Belle. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PCAN). Donations may be sent in memory of May Belle to the following address: PCAN 1500 Rosecans Ave, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, Or www.pcan.org

I had a busy week. On Thurs-day, Joanie, myself and Gary and Barbara Young attended the Canadian Legion Veterans’ Supper sponsored by St. Ste-phen Legion Branch #9. It was a Great meal with our fellow comrades.

On Saturday, I had the op-portunity to represent the Cal-ais American Legion at the

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the Calais Armory. This reno-vation will provide so much for our National Guard and our community.

Thursday will be the Veter-ans’ ceremony sponsored by the English AP Class at the Calais High School at 9:15 a.m. These students present a very professional and an emo-tional ceremony. Everyone is invited.

I want to thank Daniel Stew-

art, son of Todd and Bonnie Stewart, and Joanie’s Grand-son, for his assistance remov-ing flags in the Calais area. Daniel is home after serving 6 years in the U.S. Air Force! He’s on my membership list for the legion.

The Princeton Parks and Rec-reation Committee held the drawing for their fundraising raffle for a turkey dinner at the Baileyville Craft Fair on No-vember 5th. The lucky winner was Jessica Niles. The proceeds from this raffle will help spon-sor PPRC’s upcoming events, including a Movie Night, this month at the fire station.

Also on Saturday from 10:00 - 1:00 at the Princeton Town Of-fice meeting room, Tammy and Hope Carle had a special pre-sentation “Introduction to 4-H”. They were looking for parents to help restart interest in a 4-H club in the Princeton Area. They were very successful and have started a club called Northwoods 4-H. Their next meeting is Monday, November 14 at 6:00 p.m. at Penni Theriault’s home.

With Veterans’ Day occurring this week I was reminded of one of the stories for the booklet for our tea this year that was given to me about Colonel Irvin E. Doane by his stepdaughter, Rebecca Paterson. Irvin lived in Princ-eton and there is a street named after him and is where his house is still standing. Irvin Doane served in WWII in France and won the Silver Star and the Croix de Guerre. That was when he earned the nickname Daredevil Doane. He was stationed in the Philippines during WWII. When the Japanese captured the Island of Bataan, he was a Colonel. He survived the Bataan Death March, and the Death Ship that transported him to Mainland China where he was in a Japa-nese POW camp until the end

of the war for a total of forty-one months.

Rebecca’s story: “My Grand-mother Blanche Tozier Whitney, who was a young widow and close friend, was brought in to take care of Colonel Doane when he returned to Maine. They fell in love, were married, and chose Princeton as their home where they lived from the late forties until their deaths in 1970. I vis-ited many times as a little girl. They loved their home and gar-den, and loved the hunting and fishing which were a big part of their lives in Princeton. Martha lived with her daughter and son-in-law for several years until her death. This is a poem that she wrote about his life there.”

Retired Colonel by Martha G. Tozier,1955

In wrinkled khaki pants and faced shirt

He Cultivates his patch of fruit and flowers

Delighting in the feel of good rich dirt

And letting sun’s warmth and quiet hours

Erase old bitternessHe lifts his head to hear a

bluebirds songAnd smiles to see the spar-

rowsFlying off with bits of breadAnd Robins plundering his

cherry tree.For he remembers hunger,

like a knifeBetween the ribs, and loneli-

ness and doubtIn prison camp, where just the

spark of lifeWas all he had, and might have

flickered out.Such a simple things are pre-

cious to a manWho has survived the horrors

of Bataan.This is a true picture of my

son-in-law,Irvin E. Doane’s daily life.According the Princeton El-

ementary School Calendar, there will be an early release on Thursday and no school on Friday in remembrance of Veteran’s Day. Also because of a teachers’ workshop on Wednesday, November 23 there will be no school, along with

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN LOOKING OUT OVER FARM COVE! (A tale from the Her-mit) The entire crown is ablaze with brilliant red-orange col-or. The old Indian sugar-bush dazzles the senses. Our autumn foliage displays are not only a great esthetic asset to Maine but

represents a serious economic boost to our area. While we are accustomed to the annual phenomenon folks from away are spellbound. People from all over the nation and even from overseas come to witness the spectacle.

Conditions for maximum leaf coloration are average or bet-ter with summer rainfall, amply sugar accumulation in leaves and long periods of cool, bright sunny weather without heavy frosts. Chlorophyll gives leaves their bright green color, but with the advent of fall, production slows their stage. This chloro-phyll has made the other pig-ments present which are red and scarlet, orange, yellow, purple and brown.

These pigments mix and bend to form incredible color varia-tions. Conifers produce only dull yellow and brown, the ex-ception being tamarack which turns bright yellow.

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are a blessing as Maine is 80%-90% forested. The incredible power of pho-tosynthesis creates more veg-

etation while giving off oxygen. The basic essential compound is carbon dioxide from the at-mosphere. Even a small sec-tion of lawn gobbles up carbon dioxide.

I’m headed out to rake up some of that fall splendor. If you run out I’ve got extra – please bring your own container.

Let’s see how alert you are af-ter listening to a year of politics: (1) all of the 50 states are listed on two places in our country, can you name them? And on a lighter side,(2) which of our household pets, dogs or cats, have more vocal sounds?

Maine offers nearly unlimited opportunity for enjoying the great outdoors, thanks in great part to many private landowners who allow access to their prop-erty. Landowners who permit the use of their land for outdoor recreational activities are not only doing you a favor, they are placing their trust in you.

To demonstrate appreciation for the favor and to prove their trust is not misplaced:

Ask for permission firstRespect any and all special re-

quests made by the landownerUnderstand clearly where you

can and cannot drive or park your vehicle and abide by those restrictions

If requested, provide the landowner, your name, address, phone number and vehicle de-scription

Consider using pre-print-ed Landowner/Land user Cour-tesy Cards

Know the property boundar-ies of the land you have permis-sion to use and stay within those boundaries

Remember that railroad and utility corridors are not public rights of way and require per-mission for access

If you see trash that someone else left, please pick it up

Always obey the lawShow your appreciation to

the landowner and take the time to say thank you! (1-Lincoln Memorial and back of $5 bill and 2-cats have over 100 vocal sounds and dogs have 10).

Fred and Linda Wallace, of Crawford Maine were recently pleasantly surprised with being recognized from the State of Maine Members of the Senate and House of Representatives and people of State of Maine for requesting donations to Sar-ah’s House of Maine in Holden in lieu of 50th Golden Anni-versary. Linda wasn’t home when Representative Beth Turner from Burlington arrived today to present this wonder-ful framed certificate. Freddie was home and was very excit-ed with the event and couldn’t wait to share the news with me. Both Fred and Linda found it very heartwarming to know that Beth is also a cancer sur-vivor. Linda said that she and Fred couldn’t think of a better place to donate than to Sarah’s House. They celebrated their 50th on April 23, 2016 with a party given to them by their Special Family with over 100 guests in attendance. Fred and Linda presented over $1,200 in cash, checks, gift cards and supplies to Sarah’s House. You again!

David wanted to make sure that the kids at AES know he appreciated the kind thoughts.

Alexander/Crawford HistoryBy John Dudley & Cassie Oakes

Do you know the name Natty Lamb? If you’re from Alexan-der you should know where the Lamb Orchard and cellar are located. This story comes from deeds that Foster Carlow shared in February 2016, from memo-ries shared by Pliney Frost ca 1990 and from the book Larry Gorman, The Man who made the Songs by Sandy Ives pub-lished in 1977.

Nathaniel Lamb was born in 1803 in Cornish, Maine. His wife Almira (Carle) was born in 1812 also in York County. Was Nathaniel related to Sam-

uel Bracket Lamb who arrived in Alexander about the same time?

Larry Gorman was born on PEI in 1846 and died at Brewer in 1917. Larry followed woods work from the island to the Miramichi River of New Bruns-wick, to the Saint Croix, then to The Union River (Ellsworth) and, married at last, went to the Eastern Manufacturing Corpo-ration in Brewer. Larry wasn’t much of a worker, but was known for his songs he wrote and sang. His songs poked fun at anyone or anything that dis-pleased him. The brunt of his satire was usually a boss.

Sometime in the 1870s Lar-ry passed through Milltown where his path crossed with Natty Lamb. Here are a few words from the song” Tomah Stream”.

Come all you Milltown Row-dies that drink and have no fear,

I’ll have you not to touch a drop in the fall of the year,

For if you do, you’ll surely rue-likewise myself I’ve seen,

Be careful, do not hire to work on Tomah Stream.

For the last fall that ever was, I was drunk and on a spree,

I swore that I would hire, and the very first sight I’d see,

The first it was old Natty Lamb, and up to him I steered,

I hired to work on Tomah and to drive six little steers.

He said the chance for lum-bering was the best I ever did see,

The spruce they stand up on a ridge, as thick as thick can be,

The provisions I’ll provide for you, and of the very best kind,

The cook will dish’er up for you, and make yer meals on time.

The remainder of song is on page 107 of Ives’ book. The promises in verse 3 were not fulfilled and Gorham has great fun poking fun at Lamb.

The Lamb Orchard with cel-lar is near the north edge of lot 76. Natty’s sons Albert and Seth lived there as adults and Seth’s son Nathaniel was born there on June 3, 1860.

Mr. Tom Brennan visited the 2nd and 3rd grade class-room on October 25th. He is a retired teacher and Principal Mr. Brennan showed the 2nd and 3rd graders some basics in drawing. This was a very fun visit for Mrs. Hill as Mr. Bren-nan was her teacher in 7th and 8th grade. Also a little bit of Trivia, Mr. Brennan’s wife is the Alexander Band and Cho-rus teacher.

We had a special assembly and guest on Wednesday No-vember 2nd. Tim Caverly and his wife Sue came. They have several books published about

the Allagash. Mr. Caverly went through one of his books with Pre-K through Grade 3. The book told about his life, hap-penings and adventures in the Allagash. Late in the day Mr. Caverly visited with grades 4-8. He talked about how to write a book, from writing to proof reading to re writing. PTG bought a complete set of Mr. Caverly’s books for the AES Library’s Maine Collection.

Don’t forget about Adult Volleyball, which is held on Tuesdays at the AES gym from 7:00-9:00 pm. It is open for all adults who wish to attend and just for fun!

It is feeling more like winter this week. Monday morning, we awoke to a heavy frost and 30 deg. temps. We’ve had warmer than seasonal temperatures this year, so the cold stuff was bound to happen one of these days.

Happy birthday wishes to Terry Reynolds on November 11, and summer residents Carol Bloomhardt on the 13th and Pat-ty Lentz on the 14th.

The colder weather has driv-en some birds to serious migra-tion. Last week saw a flock of wood ducks who stopped by our lake for a rest, and perhaps a snack before, they disap-peared as quickly as they had arrived. Another flock of small birds attacked some bushes go-ing to seed in the flower garden. Through the aid of my North American Bird Book, Barry and I identified them as Alder Flycatchers. Although they like flying things, they also eat seeds. This bird is about 5-1/2” long, olive greenish on its back with white wing bars, and an ol-ive gray wash on its underbelly. These very cute birds were in

our yard flitting from the bushes to the woods and back for about an hour before they went on their way to wherever they will spend the winter.

A neighbor traveling on back trails between Cooper and Route 9 saw a nice sized moose ambling along in a field.

The Calais Hospital Coffee & Gift Shop is hosting a Holi-day Jewelry and Handbag Sales Event November 7 through 11. The Hospital Auxiliary is also sponsoring a drawing for a Thanksgiving Gift Basket. Tickets are available at the Gift Shop during regular hours Mon-day through Friday, 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. The Gift Basket ticket will be drawn No-vember 21 and the winner noti-fied therafter.

November 11 is Veterans Day in America. Please be sure to thank a veteran or someone presently serving in the military for their service to our country. Barry and I watched the movie “13 Hours” on Sunday, about the attack on Benghazi as told through the experiences of the Special Forces individuals who were there trying to save the U. S.

Embassy. Two who helped died in the encounter. It’s a must-see for anyone who cares about who leads our country. It is a wonder any of the individuals got out alive. One of the facts shared in the film is very distrubing, along with quite a few others. As the Embassy was under attack and losing, a secret CIA mission 1 mile from the Embassy never received the okay to send its people to assist the Embassy after many desparate pleas. De-spite the lack of approval, some of the Special Forces men went to help anyway. Meanwhile our government flew another group into Benghazi and arrived at the CIA encampment. When the di-rector of that compound asked if they were there to help the Em-bassy, they said, “No, we’re here

for documents destruction.” To think that documents received priority and the lives of the Em-bassy people were ignored by the President and Secretary of State is unthinkable to me.

Something else that’s fright-ening is a new attraction in the woods along Lite Lane. The toddler doll is long gone. Now in its place is a statue of what might perhaps be “Adam and Eve.” This one is not especially rated family friendly. I think I’ll have to cover it with leaves and vines, in the spirit of the Adam and Eve theme when they be-came ashamed.

Please send your news, com-ments, wildlife sightings and the like to [email protected] or phone 454-3719.

BaringSally Doten

It’s Sunday evening, Nov. 6, as I sit to write this column. As I drove home from Calais, a deer jumped across the road in front of me on Baring Street. Scared me for a minute. I have had the experience of hitting a deer and don’t want another one. I think he (she) must have been on the run as he (she) leaped the width of the road. This is one of the reasons I hate to drive the Airline after dark; but guess that doesn’t make much sense as this deer was within city limits.

Sorry to hear that Fran John-son has been a patient at Calais Regional Hospital. Hope you are feeling better, Fran.

Don’t forget that Tuesday is election day. I am so thankful this campaign season is near-ing an end. I have never been so inundated with phone calls, postal fliers, and TV ads as this year. It will be nice to watch TV without candidates telling lies about one another. When you read this, we will have a new president and that is a scary thought. Wednesday the signage that litter our highways will disappear; and that to me, is the one positive note about this election.

Irene Gallway and I trav-eled to Bangor on a very rainy Thursday last week. The high-way was very busy in both directions. It was surprising to see so many careless drivers in bad weather. I think the law says, “If you need your wind-shield wipers on; you need your lights on.” From my viewpoint, not everyone knows this law. It was a splashy day.

Again, I remind you, don’t forget the town meeting on Nov. 15. Are you getting tired from me telling you this?

Sympathy is extended to the family of MayBelle Clark. Her funeral was Saturday at the Second Baptist Church. I was so impressed by her family that took part in the service. So many memories were shared as tears were shed. It was good to see so many friends and students that I haven’t seen in years. It was a wonderful gathering under very sad cir-cumstances.

Get well wishes go out to Joanne Wheelock who is a pneumonia patient at Calais Regional Hospital.

Well, dear friends, this is all I know. My knowledge is very limited; maybe it’s my age.

Have a wonderful week. Stay well.
