First Congregational Welcomes New Pastor
The First Congregational
Church of Bridgton, United
Church of Christ, is happy
to announce the arrival of
its new pastor, the Rev. Emily C. Goodnow (pronounced
GOOD-Know).
After a national search taking almost one year to complete, Joe De Vito, the search
committee’s chair, said Rev.
Emily formally began her
ministry at “Rally Day,” the
traditional kick-off-Sunday
for the congregation’s Christian Education Program. As
in the very recent past, this
year’s Rally Day worship service was held at Camp Wigwam in Waterford.
De Vito continued, “The
congregation is very excited
to have this particular person
as its new Pastor. Our committee worked tirelessly to
find an exciting minister with
just the right personality, en-
thusiasm and commitment
that we believe we deserve.
We found the perfect balance
of intellect and practical reality in Emily. Wait until you
meet her. She’s awesome!”
The Rev. Emily C. Goodnow is a New Hampshire
native who served as associate pastor at the First Congregational United Church of
Christ in Salem, Ore. Emily
was celebrated for her work
with youth and young people;
preaching, worship leadership, and original liturgies;
pastoral care of all ages particularly in times of crisis and
loss; and leadership in mission work.
Emily received her Master
of Divinity from Yale University and her BA in Creative
Writing and Religious Studies from Colby College. Between Colby and Yale, Emily worked in Bamako, Mali
with Save the Children, on a
small grant-funded project
called Awn Be Se, and then
taught creative writing at The
Telling Room, a nonprofit
storytelling center in Portland. Emily also spent five
summers working at Pilgrim
Lodge in West Gardiner, first
in the craft cabin and later as
assistant director.
Emily is honored to be
a participant in the UCC’s
Next Generation Leadership
Initiative: Target 2030, a program for young clergy who
the UCC has identified to be
promising leaders with an important role to play in leading
“the Church of the Future.”
She grew up in the UCC and
loves the denomination both
for the ways in which it is
rooted in tradition, ritual, and
history, and for its courage to
speak truth in love and stand
for justice in the world.

Emily’s joys beyond church
include camping, hiking, music, dance, theater, reading,
learning the ukulele, making
pickles, and roasting s’mores.
Emily is partnered with Noah
Garrison, a native of Minnesota who is a carpenter, potter, runner, banjo player, and
beekeeper. Her newly retired
parents live in Madbury,
N.H., her older brother is in
Alaska, and grandparents and
extended family live throughout New England. n

I was having a long conversation with a 9-year-old
boy about healthy eating.
We were talking about sugary and fattening foods versus nutritional foods.
Knowing that his grandfather and my mother are
diabetics, I then said, “But
for some of us, eating right
is even more important because of our genes. It’s possible that even if you and I
eat really healthy, exercise,
do everything right, we
could end up with diabetes
because it’s in our genes.”
He looked perplexed, then
reached over and touched a
pair of jeans.
He said, “Because of
these? It’s in my jeans?”
– Linda in Auburn.
My daughter was teaching her 3-year-old daughter
about danger, like stopping
to look both ways when
crossing the street, how to
snuff out fire if her clothes
caught on fire, about strangers, etc. When crossing the
street one day to get the
mail, my daughter put her
daughter to the test. They
stopped at the end of the
driveway, and my daughter asked, “what do we do
now?” Her daughter replied, “Stop, drop and roll.”

I was at my daughter’s
home to pick up my 3-yearold grandson. I said to him,
“You’re my baby.”
He said, “I not a baby.”
To which I said, “You will
always be my baby.”
Again, he responded, “I
not a baby.”
We left and headed to the

of his car seat, again I said,
“You’re my baby.”

“I not a baby. I Anthony

When our boys were lit-
After spending time in the
pool with my grandchildren,
I looked at my hands and
noticed that I had wrinkles
from being in the water for
a while. I told my grandson
that I had been in the pool
for a long time and was going to get out of the pool
because I was starting to
get all wrinkly. My 7-yearold grandson looked at
me puzzled and said, “But
Grandma, you’re already all
wrinkly.”

A few years ago our sixyear-old grandson spent the
night. Early the next morning he ran into our room
and leaped in between his
grandfather and me and
quickly dropped off to
sleep. I asked him later what
had happened.
He said, “There was
something weird going on
in the kitchen.”

tle we pulled up to the ice

to ask the boys what they
wanted. The oldest one said
he would like a half-andhalf softserve. The younger
one, who was 3 years old
and always wanted what his
brother was having, looked
at us, shaking his head yes,

voice, “I have a whole-andwhole!”

Loony for Loons
V. Paul Reynolds
We have a loon in our
downstairs bathroom. No,
it’s not swimming around in
the tub; it is the focal point
of a lovely acrylic painting
we bought at a Maine art
show. We also have loons
out in front of our place,
real ones. Our place is on
a lake. How blessed we
are, not only by the haunting hoots of the Common
Loon, but by the privilege
of awakening each day to
the special dawns that spill
across Branch Lake and
into our bedroom.
To be honest, though, a
loon is just another wild
creature on the list of critters that hang out in our
neck of the woods - no
more or less valued by me
than the osprey, the eagle,
the crows, the deer, the
mergansers or the fox that
hangs around out back for
my handouts.
My lake neighbors, I
know, place the loon at
the pinnacle of the watchable wildlife hierarchy.
The Branch Pond Association, of which I am a
member, has a Loon Count
Committee. The BPA has
a Head Loon Ranger, who
appoints other volunteer
Loon Rangers whose mission it is to count loons and
report. From what I gather,
this local loon initiative
is an extension of a larger
state-wide loon-counting
project for Audubon and
other loon-protection organizations.
Maine has one of the
largest populations of
Common Loons in the
lower 48. So much so that a
Portland-based, loon-study
organization is assisting
Massachusetts in the relocating of loon chicks to the
Bay State.
Since BPA’s main mission is to watchdog our
lake’s water quality, members see the lake’s loon
presence as an indicator
of water quality. Loons are
known to be, as they say,
“an indicator species.” Apparently there is some scientific validity to this view.
Among the lake camp owners who belong to the lake
association there seems to
be group consensus that
there is a straight-line correlation between loon num-
bers and water quality.
This can be a compellingly seductive theory. In
truth, though, it is not that
simple.
As Maine’s bird biologist Brad Allen points out,
habitat is the main determinant of a lake’s loon numbers. Allen says that “they
are very sensitive to human
disturbance.” Therefore,
our camps and cottages,
our docks and floats, our
jet skis and power boats
impact their shoreline nesting areas and reproduction
rates - and willingness to
stay around.
Additionally, as Allen
notes, loons are long-lived
critters and very territorial.
They will kill other loon
interlopers and their young.
A given lake or pond will
only support X number of
loon pairs, no matter how
pristine the water quality.
Loons are fish eaters so the
most pristine lake without
a good fish population will
not keep loons around either.
Interestingly, too, the
most pristine lake that has
a seriously fluctuating water level can be a disaster
for loon nesting and reproduction.
Again, nothing wrong
with being loony for loons
and appreciating their wondrous and diverse vocalizations, but often all is not
what it seems when dealing with wild creatures and
their complex relationship
to their habitat and to humans.

Trivial Things
John McDonald
A few years ago I wrote
a book titled “John McDonald’s Maine Trivia,”
and ever since that book
was published people
think my head is filled with
all kinds of useless information. Yes, the book is
doing well, thank you, but
it generates lots of email
from people who assume
my I can answer their most
trivial questions.
Just the other day I got
an email from Richard
in Windham who writes:
Hi John, ever since I read
your trivia book I thought
you might be able to help
me with the origins of the
nautical words “port” and
“starboard.”
Thanks for the email,
Richard. In fact, I can help
you with the origin of both
those two maritime words.
Many centuries ago, in
order to steer vessels, sailors used an early version
of a rudder that was little
more than a long wooden
board that stuck out on the
right, or the steer-board
side of the vessel. You
can imagine what would
happen if you came up
to a dock with this crude
steer-board sticking out.
To avoid any problems in
that area, vessels always
came up to a dock on the
left side, which became
known as the “port” side.
And while we’re on the
subject of watercraft, does
anyone know anything
about where the words
spars, halyards capstans,
and forecastles came from?
And why are we supposed
to pronounce the word fore
castle as “folksle?” And
do they steer large vessels
from the bridge, the pilothouse or the wheelhouse?
Regular readers will recall the story we told about
someone from Iowa who
received an express shipment of live Maine lobsters
as a gift. After opening the
box and checking them
out, the person proceeded
to throw them out because
they were all dark brown
not bright red the way they
thought live lobsters were
supposed to be.
We questioned the truth
of the story in a column
and within a week we
heard from a lobster dealer
in Stonington who said he
deals with the problem of
the color of live lobsters all
the time. And yes, the stories you hear about people
throwing out live lobsters
because they’re not bright
red, are true.

What’s the scoop? Ask Coop!
DEAR COOP: Can you
tell me the words to Maine’s
state song? We used to sing
it once in a while many
years ago at different state
functions. I haven’t heard it
in a very long time. Thank
you. -- Old-timer in Maine.
ANSWER: From the
state of Maine website:
“State of Maine Song”
words and music by
Roger Vinton Snow
Grand State of Maine,
proudly we sing
To tell your glories to the
land,
To shout your praises till
the echoes ring.
Should fate unkind
send us to roam,
The
scent of the
fragrant pines,
the tang of the salty sea
Will call us home.
CHORUS:
Oh, Pine Tree State,
Your woods, fields and
hills,
Your lakes, streams and
rock bound coast
Will ever fill our hearts
with thrills,
And tho’ we seek far and
wide
Our search will be in vain,
To find a fairer spot on
earth
Than Maine! Maine!
Maine!
DEAR COOP: I am interested in growing pumpkins in my big backyard. I
am looking for as many tips
as I can find so that I don’t
overlook anything. What
can you tell me? Thanks. -Pumpkin Patch Farmer.
ANSWER: Water your
seedling as needed to keep
the soil moist but not wet.
Lukewarm water is better
than cold for watering. Your
plant should start to vine in
about 2-3 weeks, depending on the temperature and
soil moisture. If your plant
decides it wants to vine in
the wrong direction, you
can turn it in the right direction over the course of
a couple of weeks using a
few stakes and moving the
vine a little bit each day
during the heat of the day,
starting when the vine is
about 12’ to 18’ long. At
around 5 weeks old, your
plant vine will grow up to
1 foot a day so be prepared
to stay on top of it from this
point on.
In order to grow a big
pumpkin, your plant needs
to be kept as stress free as
possible. Pumpkin plants
do not like extreme heat
and will not tolerate the
cold. Therefore you need
to do everything you can
to keep the plant happy.
At night, place a bucket or
a box over your plant and
cover with a blanket to retain as much of the day’s
warmth as possible. Uncover in the morning when
the temperature is above
45 degrees. Frequent, short
intervals of misting water over the leaves cools
the plant by evaporational
cooling and helps combat
stress on those hot days.
Sprinkler systems with a
fine spray work well if nobody will be home to do it
by hand, as the plant needs
to be cooled every couple
hours on those hot summer
days.
At this stage it is important to feed your young
plantlets generously for the
next month or so and bury
the vines so that they start
growing roots all along the
vines, acting like a huge
feeding system.
As your vine grows, it
will sprout what are known
as secondary vines off of
the main vine. These secondaries are where the plant
gets much of its energy and
should be nurtured as the
main vine is. However, off
these secondaries will grow
more vines known as tertiary vines or sucker vines.
These vines rob the plant
of valuable nutrients and
should be pinched off before they appear.
Your plant can cover up
more than 1,000 square feet
if left to grow unbridled
so things need to be done
so your plant doesn’t become a “jungle” of vines
running every which way.
Establishing a growing pattern for your plant is first.
There are several growing
patterns that growers use
but the most widely used
pattern is the so-called
“Christmas Tree.” Think of
your plant as a Christmas
tree, where the main vine is
the trunk and the secondaries are branches. Train your
vines so that the main vine
runs generally straight out
from the stump and the secondaries grow perpendicular to the main stem. This
information was provided

If you smoke, you owe
it to yourself to quit. And I
believe you have an obligation to try to help others to
quit. I’m doing my part by

of columns. No scolding or
exaggerated scare tactics.
I’m giving you just the facts
in a chain of bulletins.
You can stick these columns on bulletin boards
and refrigerators. I rec-

smoker you love.
Here are more:
• Cigarette smokers die
younger than nonsmokers.
Smoking shortens lives by
about 14 years.
• Tobacco use remains the
leading preventable cause
of death in the United
States, causing 443,000
deaths each year.
• Because of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
(“second-hand smoke”), an
estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung
cancer every year.
• Tobacco use accounts for
about one third of all cancer
deaths in the United States.
• Smoking causes almost
90 percent of lung cancers.
• More than 7 million current and former smokers
suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), the name used
to describe both chronic
bronchitis and emphysema.
About 85 percent of COPD
deaths are caused by smoking.
• About 80 percent of all
smokers would like to quit.
• It’s never too late to quit.
It doesn’t matter how old
you are or how long you’ve
smoked.
• Within minutes of smoking the last cigarette, the
body begins to restore itself. After two weeks, circulation and lung function
improve. A year after quitting, the risk of coronary

heart disease is half that of
a smoker’s. At 10 years, the
lung cancer death rate is cut
in half. At 15 years after
quitting, the risk of coronary heart disease is that of
a nonsmoker’s.
• Some smokers can just
stop “cold turkey.” Others
need help with drugs and
behavior modification. Relapse rates are the highest
in the first few weeks; they
go down substantially after
about three months.
• One study found that the
greatest reductions in cigarette use were achieved
when smoking became
more expensive and alternative recreational activities were provided.
• Nicotine replacement
therapies (NRTs) are medicines that relieve a smoker’s
nicotine withdrawal symptoms. NRTs are available
as patches, gums, inhalers,
nasal sprays, or lozenges.
NRTs should be used with
behavioral modification.
• Bupropion (Zyban) is a
prescription antidepressant
that affects brain chemicals
involved in craving nicotine.
• Varenicline (Chantix) reduces the pleasurable effects of smoking and helps
reduce nicotine withdrawal
symptoms.
If you want to quit smoking and need help, contact
one of the following organizations:
American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org; American Heart Association,
www.amhrt.org; American
Lung Association, www.
lungusa.org; National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.
gov; Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention Office on Smoking & Health,
www.cdc.gov/tobacco;
Smokefree.gov,

smokefree.gov.
If you have used tobacco,
you should have regular
oral exams by your physician or dentist. These exams will detect changes
that could be cancer or a
precursor of cancer.
Cancer and other conditions of the lung have the
following symptoms: a new
cough, a change in cough,
coughing up blood, hoarseness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, headaches,
chest pain, loss of appetite,
weight loss, general fatigue, and repeated respiratory infections. However,
many lung cancers have no
apparent symptoms until
they are advanced.
If you have been a tobacco user or continue to
smoke or chew, it’s critical
that you get regular medical
attention.

Hammond Lumber Mills Again are First in Safety
The Northeast Lumber
Manufacturers Association (NeLMA) announced
in June that it has given
Hammond Lumber Company four awards for
outstanding safety performance during 2016 at
Hammond’s sawmill and
planer mill in Belgrade.
The awards are given
to mills operating in the
New England states, plus
New York and Pennsylvania.
A Maine family-owned
business founded in 1953,
Hammond finished first in
Division 2 for the combined operations of both
mills. Divisions are determined by the number
of worker-hours logged
during a calendar year. A
Division 1 classification
represents 1 to 25,000
hours, while Division
2 represents 25,000 to
50,000 hours.
The Maine familyowned business also
earned first place in Division 1 for planer-mill
safety, second place in
Division 2 for sawmill
safety, and a fourth honor
for achieving an accidentfree year in both mills.
Perhaps best known today as a building supplier
operating 13 retail stores
throughout Maine, Hammond Lumber began in
1953 as a three-man sawmill, which is still housed
at its original location in
Belgrade. In its 63 years
of continuous operation,
the Hammond mill has
seldom had a lost-time accident and has won many
safety awards.
According to safety
director Bruce Pelletier,
there has not been a losttime accident in the saw-
mill since 2004, nor in the
planer mill since 2001.
A safety committee established in 1985 continues to meet once a month
to identify and correct potential safety hazards on
the job as well as discuss
ideas for keeping everyone in the company safe
during their off-hours,
too. The position of fulltime safety director was
created in 2005 and has
been filled by Pelletier
ever since.
There are currently 12
people working in the
sawmill, and 7 in the
planer mill, representing a
total of 243 years of experience at Hammond. Gerald Manley has worked
for the company for 37
years, Craig Dawes for
36, Cliff Elliott for 31, and
Rob Higgins for 22. Richard Thyng, Alan Bickford
and Travis Manley have
all been on the job more
than 15 years. Ron Albair
has 12 years in.
Those with less than 10
years are Bruce Albair,
Coyt Ingraham, Chris
Hinkel, Frank Walker,
Matt Dawes, Nate Hewitt,
Josh Ladd, Kris Merrill, Miranda Bickford,
Ray Ashland and Elijah
Gagne.
Travis Manley is Gerald’s son, Miranda Bickford is Alan’s daughter
and Matt Dawes is Craig
Dawes’ son. Craig’s father, Ken, retired from
Hammond in 2002 after
15 years with the company.
In addition to its safety
record, the Hammond
sawmill has been recognized for its “whole
log” approach to milling. Nothing from the log
goes to waste. The bark
becomes mulch, and both
sawdust and shavings are
used as bedding for farm
animals. The ends of the
boards are used for crafts,
for kindling, and for fuel
to run biomass generators.
The “slabwood” pieces or
“edgings” from the log
are fed into a chipper,
and the resulting chips
are used to make paper.
The core log may then be
used for Maine Pine Log
Homes, Hammond’s line
of building packages, or it
may be further milled into
dimensional lumber.
“It’s important to us
not to waste anything,”
says Donald Hammond.
“There are only so many
trees, so we don’t want to
use more than we need to.
Selective cutting is practiced on most of the lots
from which the company
buys logs, and many of
these lots are now in their
third cutting. The result is
sustained yield from the
same acreage.
“In fact,” says Hammond, “even though the
production volume of
our mill has increased
quite a bit over the years,
the number of acres harvested has increased very
little. You could say it’s
as important to us to keep
our resource safe as it is to
keep our people safe. We
depend on both.”

Loon Echo Land Trust’s 16th Annual Trek a Huge Success
A cool, foggy early fall
morning turned into a day
perfect for hiking and cycling for the nearly 250
enthusiastic Trekkers who
participated in the 16th
annual Loon Echo Trek
held on Saturday, Sept. 17
at Shawnee Peak Ski Area
in Bridgton to benefit
Loon Echo Land Trust.
Organizers and Trekkers alike were thrilled
with the sunny skies and
comfortable temperatures
for the organization’s primary fundraising event of
the year. “The weather
was perfect for today’s
Trek,” said Event Coordinator, Tracy Burk. “Once
the fog burned off, hikers
enjoyed spectacular views
while traversing Pleasant
Mountain and bikers enjoyed views along the scenic bicycle routes.”
Loon Echo Land Trust
currently protects over
2,000 acres of land on
Pleasant Mountain, land
that hikers were able to
enjoy during Saturday’s
Trek. The Trek continues
to be a great way for people to support land conservation in the Lakes Region of Southern Maine.
Nearly 200 cyclists
were registered for the
Trek, and chose between
25, 50, 80 and 100 mile
routes through some of
Maine’s most beautiful
scenery. Century and 80
mile riders had a challenging ride through Evans
Notch with a 1,200 foot
vertical descent. Cyclists
raved about the course
and loved riding on all
the back roads where the
traffic was minimal. They
enjoyed the well-stocked
rest stops, the helpful and
friendly volunteers, and
the all new post-Trek taco
bar, massages and Allagash beer, free to all Trekkers.
Over sixty hikers participated in either the 4.5 or 6
mile hike trek over Pleasant Mountain and Loon
Echo’s conservation land.
Hikers were treated to
three rest stops along the
way, each stocked with
gourmet treats.
Nearly a dozen hearty
people participated in the
third year of the Hike and
Bike Combo, which includes completing either
the 4.5 or 6 mile hike, followed by the 25 or 50 mile
bike ride.
Over $60,000 was
raised from the event, including entry fees, pledges raised by participants,
and business cash and inkind sponsorships. Top individual fundraisers were

“Toby”
A heartwarming story about the growing bond between a child and a new pet –
inspired by the author’s experience with a rescue dog of the same name.
By Hazel Mitchell
Author-Illustrator
When a young boy and
his father move from one
house to another, they decide to adopt a dog from
the local rescue shelter. But
their chosen dog, Toby, is
having a tough time adjusting to his new life outside the shelter—howling
all night, hiding fearfully
from his new humans, forgetting where to go to the
bathroom, and chasing a
ball through the flower bed.
The boy has promised to
train his new companion,
and he’s trying his best, but
Dad is starting to get exasperated. Will Toby ever feel
comfortable with his new
family and settle into his
forever home, or will Dad
decide he’s not the right dog
for them after all?
A heartwarming story
about the growing bond
between a child and a new
pet—inspired by the author’s experience with a
rescue dog of the same
name. Maybe you have
heard of Toby on Facebook
or in the local news. A few
years ago, Hazel Mitchell
and her husband decided
to foster a poodle (from a
family of nine poodles) that
was seized from an abusive breeder in Aroostook
County. Toby was terrified
of everything; he often sat
by himself in the corner,
quivering with fear, as he
hadn’t known any better.
After weeks of fostering,
Hazel decided with her
husband that they would
adopt Toby.
Hazel and her husband
needed to be away from
their home for a few days,
six months after adopting
Toby. They were nervous to
leave Toby. He had still never been outside and still had
many nervous tendencies.
They decided to do a test-
run wit hToby at a nearby
kennel for a day. Things
went bad very quickly;
shortly after Hazel dropped
Toby at the kennel, he escaped. Hazel and her husband were devastated. They
searched and searched for
over a week, with help from
friends and many people in
the area. By some miracle,
they eventually found Toby.
Hazel was overjoyed having Toby back in her life.
She was also reassured of
humanity’s goodness by
the overwhelming support
her and her husband had
received from friends and
others in the area who had
helped search for Toby, in
addition to the outpouring
of support and love on social media from all over the
world. She truly felt that the
whole world had been root-
ing for Toby.
This picture book teaches
young readers about the
wonderful, but often difficult, process of rescuing
and adopting pets.
Hazel Mitchell has illustrated numerous books
for children. “Toby” is her
author-illustrator
debut.
Originally from Yorkshire,
England, she now lives in
Maine with her husband
and a brave rescue poodle
named Toby, whose eightday disappearance drew
national attention when the
story was shared across social media.

Exhibit Explores the 14th Amendment
The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of
Maine (HHRC) in partnership with the Kennebec
Valley Art Association
(KVAA) present “Equal
Protection of the Laws”, an
exhibition by featuring the
work of 17 Maine artists inspired by the rights granted
by the 14th Amendment of
the US Constitution.
The exhibit, featuring
36 original works, opens
on Thursday, September
22nd and runs through Friday, December 16th at the
Michael Klahr Center on
campus at the University
of Maine at Augusta, 46
University Drive, Augusta,
Maine 04330. An opening
reception will be held on
Thursday, September 22
from 5 to 7 p.m., with a
brief program beginning at
5:30pm. Gallery hours are
Monday through Friday,
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, or
on evenings and weekends
by appointment. Several
additional programs are
being planning in association with the exhibit. The
exhibition, opening reception, and other associated
programs are free and open
to the public.
Thanks to funding support from the Maine Humanities Council (MHC)
through their broad and
sure foundation program,
the exhibit is the result of
a call to artists to respond
to the important themes
of the 14th amendment.
The MHC notes, “Passed
by Congress 150 years
ago (thanks in large part
to Maine’s own William
Pitt Fessenden), the Four-
teenth Amendment laid the
groundwork for many of
our most valued–and debated–rights. Some of the
Supreme Court’s most famous and influential cases
have hinged on the justices’
interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, such as
Plessy v. Ferguson (18 May
1896), Brown v. Board of
Education (17 May 1954),
Loving v. Virginia (12 Jun
1967), and Obergefell v.
Hodges (26 June 2015).”
Themes in the exhibit
relate to themes covered
by the 14th amendment,
including: due process,
liberty, gender and sexuality, race, legal protections,
equality in the workplace,
housing, education, law
enforcement, rights of the
incarcerated, tolerance, and
local, state, and federal rep-
Tree Talk • Tips from an Arborist • By Robert Fogg
Boundary Trees
Occasionally, we receive
calls from people who are concerned about trees on a neighboring property, and wondering
what legal and ethical rights
they have in the matter. While
I’m not a lawyer, I can’t give
legal advice, only the benet of
my experience of working with
different scenarios for the past
30 years. Over the years, I’ve
been directly or indirectly involved in numerous situations
where, in the case of tree damage, insurance policies have
come into play about who pays
for what.
Naturally, I would encourage
all property owners to work with
and cooperate with their neighbors in the name of safety and
security for both parties. That’s
just a part of being a good
neighbor. But, it’s nice to have
a few guidelines to go by in the
process. While there are exceptions to every rule, here’s what
I’ve seen as standard practice:
To begin with, there is a common misconception regarding
trees that are located directly on
a property line, that a property
owner can legally remove every
other tree. That’s not true, the
consent of both property owners
is required to remove the tree.
What about limbs overhanging
the property line? Think of the
property line as a vertical invisible wall. In general, you can remove any limb, or part of a limb,
on your side of the wall, as long
as it doesn’t cause damage to
your neighbor’s property.
What if a neighbor’s tree
falls today, and damages your
property? The courts and/or
the insurance company, if either
become involved, will likely declare that it was “an act of God”
and it’s your responsibility. What
if you feel your neighbor has a
hazardous tree or limb that is
threatening your property? The
rst thing to do would be to get
an arborist’s opinion to see if it
really is an elevated threat. If
it is, the neighborly thing to do
would be to ask the neighbor
to remove the threat, or at the
very least, let you remove it.
I’ve seen many cases where
neighbors have split the cost to
remove such threats. In the rare
case where the neighbor refuses to cooperate in taking care of
an actual threat to your property, you will need to ofcially no-
tify them, in some documented
way, about the threat and your
request that they remove it. This
puts the responsibility back on
them to take care of the threat
or be responsible if anything
happens.
We’ve seen cases where, in
severe weather, such as a hurricane, everyone’s trees end up
on everyone else’s property.
The question often comes up
about who is responsible to
pay the bill. The standard procedure, in these cases, is that
each landowner will take care
of the damage and cleanup on
their own property, regardless
of where the tree(s) came from.
Hopefully, this information
will help clarify some common
property line tree issues so that
neighboring property owners
will be better educated about
what is, or isn’t, expected of
them. Thanks for being a good
neighbor.

This exhibit and programs are made possible
with funds from the Maine
Humanities Council, the
Holocaust and Human
Rights Center exhibit
funds, and the University
of Maine at Augusta. In
addition, the project has
received support from the
KVAA, the Maine Arts
Commission, and several
individuals.
The Kennebec Valley Art
Association and Harlow
Gallery is a membership
based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1963.
They support the artistic
development of member
artists, both amateur and
professional, by providing
opportunities for exhibition
and other professional development. These include
workshops, lectures, demonstrations and other special events. Our policy is
to make our space available
to a broad range of artists’
groups for meetings and
events that are important to
artistic growth and for the
exchange of ideas. Because
they believe the arts are integral to a well-rounded and
vibrant community, and can
be a key factor in personal
growth and self- improvement, the KVAA strives to
involve the greater community in the arts and to invite
them into the Harlow Gallery at every opportunity.

outreach
programming
visits schools and community groups throughout the

programs reflect the mission: “Through initiatives
in education, exhibition and
activism, we engage and
inform the people of Maine
about the Nazi Holocaust,
other genocides, and broader issues of human rights
abuses in their historic and
contemporary context. We
encourage individuals and
communities to reflect and
upon their ethical and moral responsibilities in our
modern world.” For more

Paddle Board Yoga: Quieting the Mind and Enjoying Nature
Live Long, Live Well
Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA
Nutritionist, Personal Trainer
and Motivational Speaker
[email protected]
Where do I begin?
There are so many benefits to yoga on a paddleboard. First of all
and more importantly,
you don’t need to be a
yogi to enjoy yoga paddle boarding. All you
need really is a little bit
of guts to get on a paddle board feeling like
the entire lake might be
watching you. That’s
really how I felt the first
time I tried it and now I
don’t even care and neither does anyone else.
I think my biggest
fear was that I would
perform a pose and
lose my bathing suit.
I’ve done that before
on water skis and I’m
still embarrassed to talk
about it. Now, 20 years
later, I am prepared
with a more conservative type of suit and that
has become a non issue
as well.
Okay, there is one
more issue I had. The
first time I tried yoga
on a paddle board I kept
drifting into my neighbor’s dock and even
when I tried to avoid
that and correct my position I drifted into the
outlet to the lake. I really didn’t like that. So
now I paddle a couple
hundred yards off shore
and drop anchor. Problem solved! Technically, a yogi would probably call that cheating
as paddleboard yoga is
supposed to be freeing
as you drift. For me, the
quest to minimize my
stress is far more freeing and I am still drifting albeit only 20 yards,
not a half mile.
The first time you try
yoga on a paddleboard
you should experiment
with poses that include
four points of your
body to remain on the
Jodi Cornelio
board. By that I mean
your hands and knees
such as we do in the Cat
and Cow pose or in the
downward-facing dog
position with your feet
and hands braced on
the board. Over time
progress into the more
challenging poses with
three points and then
two points. You will
be amazed as to how
quickly this happens if
you stick with it. You
will gain strength and
balance more rapidly
on a board. You see the
effort of putting yourself into different poses
while resisting against
the motion of waves
activates every muscle
in your body especially
your stabilizing muscles, “Your Core.”
For you non-yogi
people, get out on your
board and do some
simple stretches. Touch
your toes, bend at your
waist, sit on your board
and twist your spine.
All of these simple
stretches on a board
will still cause you to
activate your core muscles as you will still be
resisting the motion of
the waves. You will be
stretched and toned in
ing practice, with the
natural elements of sunshine, water and fresh
air, you get the added
benefits that nature always provides. Do it for
your mind and body!

Logging
in the ’50s
By Poof Tardiff
From “Once Upon a Berlin Time”
The city of Berlin has a
rich logging history that
goes back to when it was
incorporated in 1829. By
the 1850s it really took off
and the rest was history.
The days of the old time
lumberjack with his ax,
bucksaw and wedge had
just about disappeared
from the Northern New
Hampshire and Maine
forest and surrounding area in 1953, but the
glamour, romance adventure and attendant dangers
were still part of the scene
in this area back then.
The old familiar intermittent hum of the woodsman’s bucksaw and the
rhythmic blows of his ax
had slowly given way to
the newest invention, the
chainsaw.
By the early middle of
the last century, the roar
of mighty tractors, bulldozers, and four-wheel
drive trucks were becoming the common sound of
the day, in the lush green
forests of our northernmost areas. At this time
however, the horse still
played a major role in the
logging industry. When
the going was rough and
four-wheel drive vehicles
could no longer function,
the horses took over. He
was as much a part of
the work then as were his
great grand folks of the
late 1800s.
The crude and often
uncomfortable
lumber
camps that formed the
backdrop for some of our
best-loved stories are but
a memory. The swashbuckling two-fisted men
who called these camps
“home” many months of
the year were replaced
by men who were just as
adventuresome, just as
two-fisted, but a lot more
industrious. This 1950s
generation of woodsmen
had a different purpose
in life. They were family men, who with the aid
of modern methods and
machinery, put out more
work in one day than their
storybook counterparts
could manage in a week.
During the month of
April, the swollen, thundering streams of the
Great North Woods,
would be filled to the
banks with pulpwood,
working their way southward towards the city of
Berlin.
Since hardwoods could
be converted into pulp,
“log rolling” became a
lost art. The reason being that hardwood did not
float, except for a short
period of time. This was
also the main reason for
ending the large log drives
of yesteryear. After cutting the hard woods, their
transportation to the mills
of Berlin had to be done
by other means than rivers
and streams. Because the
water method was obviously cheaper and in most
cases back then, faster,
there were efforts to treat
hardwood with something
that would enable it to
remain afloat. Evidently
these efforts became unsuccessful.
Back in the ’50s, the
floating process was still
used for softwoods, but
“log rolling” was no longer in evidence, because
the logs were cut into
4-foot lengths prior to hitting the streams and rivers. The majority of our
North Country’s woodsmen in these days were of
French Canadian origin.
Back in the late 1800s
and early 1900s saw a lot
more of a mixture of nationalities. Many of these
Canadians owned permanent homes across the
border, which were close
to many logging operations.
The normal or average woods crew of this
era consisted of two men,
who worked together in
cutting, yarding, bucking
and piling. Incidentally, as
far as cutting and bucking
were concerned, the re-
THE UPPER ANDROSCOGGIN RIVER. Once a river full of logs and log drivers along the 13-mile Woods
road (Rt 16) connecting Errol and Berlin, New Hampshire, the Upper Androscoggin River is now a favorite
recreational spot for kayakers and the ultimate scenic route for those wanting to explore the back roads of the
Great North Woods.
cent improvement on the
then new gasoline powered chainsaws, brought
this new tool to stay.
Each crew had one or
two of these chainsaws
and one horse for “twitching” or skidding the logs
to the centrally located
yards, where they were
cut into pulpwood. This
was the way it worked
for Brown Company operations back then. The
horse, referred to as “Old
Dobbin,” still played an
active role back then. It
could twitch a log through
lumbering areas that
would have been impractical to attempt with a
tractor.
Once areas to be cut
during a given operating
season had been determined by the foresters of
the woods department,
and haul roads were constructed. The camps were
then built, and each crew
was ready to go to work.
One man generally fell,
limbed out, and hitched
the horse to a log. These
experienced woodsmen
could fell a tree to within
inches of the spot that he
desired. He would also cut
a tree as near the ground
as possible, to avoid
waste. The cutter would
also drop the giant tree in
such a way that no damage would be done to the
younger or “baby trees.”
Taking care of these
young trees was extremely important, and signs
could be seen throughout
the lumbering areas, reminding the cutters of the
care that should be given
these young trees.
As with any industry,
there were always accidents. So, there were other signs posted serving as
a reminder to the cutters
of hanging treetops. In the
expressive language of the
North Woods, these hanging tops or limbs were
called “widow makers.” If
one of these damaged tree
parts fell on woodsmen in
the vicinity, his wife could
indeed have been a widow. After the ice storm of
the late 1990s, this area
had thousands of “widow
makers.”
During the winter
months, the wood was
hauled to the banks of the
streams or onto the ice of
the lakes above Berlin.
Dams were built on the
smaller streams just above
the point where the wood
was concentrated. When
the inevitable spring
thaws started, and the ice
broke up in the streams
and rivers, the drive started. The logs were thrown
by men or pushed by bulldozers into the water, the
dams were opened, and
the wood was flushed into
the lakes and rivers.
Once the logs reached
the quiet waters of a pond
or lake, it was necessary to aid them across
to a point where a stream
would again carry them
on their journey towards
the Brown Company in
Berlin.
The production of pulpwood for the manufacture
of pulp and paper and its
allied products back then
was a leading industry,
not only in New Hamp-
shire, but in Northern
New England as well.
Even though thousands of
cords of wood were taken
from our woods yearly,
the supply seemed practically inexhaustible. In
fact, little restoration was
necessary, because the
soil and climate, along
with scientific methods
meant great annual yields.
During these years,
especially in April, it
was truly busy up north.
The tremendous piles of
wood, the seemingly endless hum of the old chainsaws, the streams, rivers and lakes full of logs
rushing southward, were
all part of the scene that
gave Berlin such a rich
history.
I hope that some people
have been enlightened
about what took place
here over 50 years ago. I
also trust that it brought
back memories to those
citizens of this wonderful city who have a vivid
memory of these days
gone by. n

Positive Vibes at Psychic/Healing Fair
By Denise Scammon
Turner Publishing Leader
The Psychic and Healing
Fair, hosted by Becky Grant
of Soul Intentions, had a
continuous stream of visitors
paying a small admission
fee and walking through the
doors at the Ramada Inn in
Lewiston on Sunday, Aug.
21. Over 60 vendors set up
tables featuring services and
products that included spiritual drawings, crystals and
minerals, aura photography,
ritual items such as candles
and incense, jewelry, energy healing, essential oils,
animal
communication,
sprays, soaps, intuitive readings, animal card readings,
skin care products, prayer
beads, tuning forks, crystal
balls, pendulum dowsing,
palmistry, oracle card readings, tarot card readings,
psychometry, past life readings, aloe vera health and
wellness products, hooded
capes, throwing the bones
divination, and sage. Table
massage was also available.
Becky Grant is a medium.
Her biographical information states, “Becky dedicates her time helping those
in their awakening process.
She hosts several psychic/
healing fairs throughout the
year to promote community
and spiritual connection. In
1996, she received her Reiki
Master/Teacher attunement
and discovered new avenues
in which to help others. She
practices other transformative healing modalities, such
as hypnotherapy, tuning
forks, cellular memory removal, and IET.
“Becky travels internationally utilizing her inner
guidance to activate her
students’ innate healing and
spiritual capabilities. With
over 30 years experience,
she still considers herself a
student of life and is always
searching new avenues with
which to explore and learn.
Becky is a gifted inspirational speaker and feels that
uplifting presentations are a
way of creating positive energy and experiences.
“Given her penchant for
always being busy, she assists where she can in promoting spiritualism. She
currently owns and operates
Soul Intentions, volunteers
on committees at Camp
Etna, is a board member of
MSSAC, is the secretary for
the International BFSC and
is a former president and
program director of Temple
Heights Spiritual Camp.”
There were many workshops – some free and some
not – scheduled throughout
the fair, held in comfortable
conference rooms in the hotel. Grant gave a workshop
on chakra cleansing.
I attended two free, halfhour workshops: “Life Records” by Graham Connolly
and “Fortify Your Personal
Energy” by Mary Daisley.
Connolly spoke about how
our life experiences reside
within us at a cellular level
and how we have the ability
to access these experiences
through an altered state of
consciousness, information
relating to these experiences
whether it be ancestral, past
life, current life or probable
future records.
Daisley began her workshop by asking, “Do you
feel other people’s aches,
pains and moods? Do you
feel exhausted after being around large groups?”
Fortifying your personal
energy was an experiential
class that explored grounding, centering, aura play and
guided meditations to create
a crystal fortress.
I also sat with Mike Grant
of Soul Intentions for a session of 3D aura photography. Various product pricing was available. Reports
include a variety of information on what your aura
reveals about your present
energy and what energy may
be coming in. The reports
also include a breakdown
of the energy of each chakra
center.
My sister, Lisa Pengel,
also had her aura photograph taken and purchased
a report. While her aura
was orange, which is the
sign of an adventurous soul,
my aura was mostly green
which is the sign of a natural
healer. Her energy chart was

Suicide Squad (Warner Bros./DC Comics)
Lucas Allen
When Zack Snyder
started the DC Cinematic
Universe, most people
don’t know what to make
of it with the ambitious but
entertaining Man of Steel
and Batman V. Superman:
Dawn of Justice. Compared to the lighter and
colorful Marvel Cinematic
Universe, these films are
darker both story-wise and
filmmaking-wise. Fortunately, the next film Suicide
Squad should help breathe
new life into this universe.
While still dark in places,
it’s certainly feels lighter
thanks in part to its likable
leads who happen to be
psychotic supervillains.
In the wake of Superman’s death, Amanda
Waller (Viola Davis) asks
the government to create a
special team of mercenaries to carry out the most
dangerous missions. But
instead of superheroes, she
wanted to assemble the
team of imprisoned criminals some of which were
captured by Batman (Ben
Affleck) and make them
expendable. Keeping them
on a leash is Colonel Rick
Flag (Joel Kinnaman), who
wants to save his girlfriend
Dr. June Moone (Cara Delevingne) possessed by a
spiritual entity called the
Enchantress. She’s using
her magical powers to bring
about the end of the world.
Leading the new team
is Deadshot (Will Smith),
an expert marksman and a
loving father. Then there’s
Harley Quinn (Margot
Robbie) the psychotic girlfriend of the infamous Joker (Jared Leto), Boomerang
(Jai Courtney), Killer Croc
(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Diablo (Jay Hernandez), Katana (Karen Fukuhara), and Slipknot (Adam
Beach). Though they have
a mission to do in exchange
for a reduced sentence, they
have to contend with the
Enchantress’ minions and
the Joker who just wants
his girlfriend back.
Instead of Snyder this
time, it’s David Ayer whose
previous experience with
gritty action includes End
of Watch and Fury. But
rather than make it all gritty,
he wisely adds humor and
bringing much needed levity to this universe. The result is a DC film that’s both
dark, wacky, and actionpacked without feeling too
mishandled that will satisfy
especially the non-comic
book reading crowd. The
structure gets pretty tricky
in the beginning when it
has to introduce to several
of the villains one at a time,
but the plot gets smoother
from there.
The plot itself is itself
an odd mix of The Avengers and Ghostbusters. The
villains come together,
put aside their differences,
and then confront the big
baddie with an end-of-theworld plan. But throughout
these usual beats, the main
characters are surprisingly
likable and you’ll feel like
you’re part of this team of
nutcases. It’s something
you don’t expect in a big
superhero blockbuster.
Smith’s signature comic
form is back in full force for
those feeling empty from
watching
Independence
Day: Resurgence. Robbie
and Courtney easily steal
all their scenes, while Davis
more than holds her own in
a great performance. The
new appearance of the Joker will have a lot of people
form their own opinions.
On the upside, his rock star/
pimp combination is quite
different from the anarchic
version that late Oscar-winner Heath Ledger brought
to the screen in The Dark
Knight. Leto’s performance
can be seen as a cross between Caesar Romero and
Jack Nicholson with an
added dash of Mark Hamill
in his scenes with Robbie.
It’s a good start though
Leto should probably refine
it if he has to go up against
Affleck’s Batman.
One other noteworthy
thing about the movie is
that DC seems to be copying one part of the Marvel formula by having
the movie include a rocking soundtrack much like
Guardians of the Galaxy.
It’s a combination of modern rap music and classic
rock that works most of the
time especially for the char-
acter introductions. The
original song “Heathens”
by 21 Pilots probably won’t
win an Oscar, but it’s sure
to make a killing on the pop
charts.
DC is finally upping their
game with Suicide Squad
that’ll finally put them on
edge with Marvel. It’s definitely more fun to see villains go at it with each other
that’s certainly different
from the normal superhero
movie. Marvel will have to
step up their rogue’s gallery
if they want to do something similar to this.
THE MOVIE’S RATING: PG-13 (for sequences of violence and action
throughout, disturbing behavior, suggestive content
and language)
THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.75 Stars (Out of
Four) n
Bereavement: Take Care of Yourself, Too
When you and your
family are grieving the
death or serious illness of
a loved one, it’s easy to get
focused on the needs of
your family and the list of
tasks that have to be completed. But don’t forget to
take care of yourself, too.
It is important to get the
time and space you need
for your own important
grief journey. The following are a few suggestions
to help you take care of
yourself following a death,
but apply to any kind of
loss you might be experiencing.
Listen to your body:
If you need to cry, then
cry. If you need to sleep,
then do so. If you need to
talk to someone, seek out
someone who will listen.
If you need to reminisce,
then take the time. It is
important for the grieving
process that you go with
the flow.
Lower expectations for
yourself: You can’t expect
yourself to run at full capacity for some time. Give
yourself a break and don’t
expect yourself to perform
as well as you did prior to
your loss. Educate others
that it will take some time
before your performance
is back to normal.
Let others know what
you need from them:
Don’t expect others to
know what you need.
Communicate to family
and friends how they can
support you.
Take the time to do the
things you need to do
for yourself: When you
feel up to it, engage in activities to which you feel
drawn. It could be visiting
a place you haven’t been to
in a while, walks in nature,
reading, etc.
Pamper yourself: Treat
yourself well. Without
breaking your budget, do
things for yourself that
are helpful like walks, being with people who are
nurturing to you, and inexpensive activities.
Keep a journal: Writing
down your thoughts and
feelings can help you to
validate and work through
your grief.
Get physical exercise:
If you exercised prior to
your loss, try to maintain
the same routine. If you
did not exercise prior to
your loss visit your doctor before embarking on a
physical exercise routine.
Physical exercise can improve the way you feel.
Obtain a proper diet
and sleep: Maintaining a
healthy diet and getting
proper sleep is essential
for functioning as well as
you can. If you are having
difficulty with either, visit
your doctor.
Be aware of others’
reactions: Many people
do not know how to react appropriately to your
grief. Some are more comfortable than others in
responding to your situation. Be aware that people
have different ideas not
only about death, but also
about how bereaved indi-

Hello from Holly…
Achieve Healthy Aging
September is Healthy Aging Month! What does
that mean to you? For me it’s about the whole
package - mind, body and spirit. Reminding myself
I’m never too old to make small positive changes
and even reinvent myself if I am so inclined. Check
out this list of 10 Healthy Aging & Reinventing
Yourself ideas. Which ones speak to you?
1. Do not act your age or at least what you
think your current age should act like! What do
remember as your best age? Picture yourself at
that age and be it. Some people may say this is
denial, but it goes a long way toward feeling
better about yourself. (Tip: Don’t keep looking
in the mirror, just FEEL IT!)
2. Be positive in your conversations and
actions every day. When you catch yourself
complaining, check yourself right there and
change the conversation to something positive.
7LS5HDGLQJDQGZULWLQJSRVLWLYHDI¿UPDWLRQV
daily can be uplifting!)
3. Don’t associate with negative people. Surround
yourself with people who have a positive outlook
on life, who are energetic, happy people. You’ll
be happier too. (Tip: Smile often. It’s contagious!)
4. Analyze your gait. Do you walk slowly
because you have just become lazy or, perhaps,
have a fear of falling? (Tip: Strength and
balance exercises can make a big difference)
5. Stand up as straight as you can! You can knock
off a few years with this trick your mother kept
trying to tell you. You will look great and feel
better. (Tip: Your waistline will also look trimmer!)
6. How’s your smile? People who smile more
often are happier. Your teeth are just as important
to your health as the rest of your body. Good
oral health is a gateway to your overall wellbeing. (Tip: Keep those regular dental exams
and maybe look into teeth whitening)
7. Lonely? You don’t have to be. Call a friend or
family member, volunteer your time, take a class,
invite someone to meet for lunch or coffee. (Tip:
SeniorsPlus has many volunteer opportunities
and if you haven’t checked out our Education
Center you owe it to yourself – do it today!)
8. Start walking – just a few extra steps a day
can make a big difference. Fall is a beautiful
time of year to get outside for a walk. (Tip: If
you have a dog, take them for a walk with you!)
9. Make this the month you set up your annual
physical and other health screenings. If you’re
approaching 65 remember October starts Open
Enrollment season for Medicare. SeniorsPlus
is available to provide free assistance with
navigating this often confusing process. Call
us to schedule your personal appointment.

While You’re Young
By Elizabeth “Betty”
Hayes
A wise man once said
we all want to live long
lives, but none of us wants
to grow old. My husband
Dell and I were no exception. We lived in Norway
for many years, doing our
own housework and yard
maintenance, and trying to
deny that we were getting
too old to handle it all. It
wasn’t until the beginning
of this year, when, in our
mid-eighties, we finally
decided to make the move
to a community where
these kinds of tasks are
taken care of for us. We
waited until spring, hoping
we would still have a bit of
spring left in our step.
Now that we’ve been
through the transition, we
would urge everyone to
plan ahead if a future move
to a retirement community
seems likely. Arrange to
do it while you are still energetic and active enough
to pack, unpack and enjoy
the activities and trips that
are offered. Now that we
are living with so many
other seniors, we see many
examples of living long,
but staying young at heart.
Anyone can take part in
many of the activities here,
or be the audience for entertainment. Trips are also
arranged as well as local
transportation, voiding the
necessity and expense of
maintaining a vehicle.
Dell and I feel carefree
without housekeeping duties and upkeep of the
house, yard and gardens.
You might say the living
is easy as we enjoy safety,
housekeeping, meals, and
the option to arrange for
healthcare. One can be as
social or reclusive as you
desire. We have found everyone to be congenial at
every level.
We share a table at dinner (served at noon) with
two youngsters, Joyce and
Rene Poulin, who exemplify taking advantage of
what this kind of community has to offer. They
participate in the activities and go to most of the
entertainment while staying close to their children.
Dell’s brother, Glenn, and
his wife, Rachel, occupy a
nearby table. Glenn has a
penchant for telling funny
stories. We may lose our
hair, teeth and youthful
figures but not our sense of
humor.
A saying comes to mind.
“There are no strangers
here, just friends you may
not have met yet.” With so
many new friends to meet,
there’s no reason to put off
making a change that will
leave you feeling happy,
youthful and free! n

Hammond Designer Wins Kitchen Award
Turns customer’s dream into reality…and gold
Lori Hardy has created hundreds of kitchens during her 14 years
working as a designer,
eight of them in the
Kitchen Bath & Flooring Center at Hammond
Lumber
Company’s
Bangor store. After helping a Dedham couple
create a kitchen for their
new home in 2015, she
decided to submit her
design to an industry
contest.
This spring, Hardy received word from Candlelight Cabinetry that
her entry in the national
competition had won the
company’s Excellence in
Design Gold Award for
finishing second among
more than 40 designs
submitted. (First place
was platinum.)
“I’m thrilled,” she
says. “Although I’ve
been designing kitchens
for a long time, this is the
first one I’ve entered in a
contest.”
Hardy designed the
award-winner for the the
home of Laura Michaud
and her husband, Bill.
When they were ready
to think about where
the kitchen should go
and what it should look
like, they called Hardy at
Hammond Lumber, and
the process began.
“Lori came down numerous times to the
house,” says Laura Michaud, “and actually laid
out patterns with tape on
the floor so that I knew
where my islands were.
And she measured on
the walls, and I could see
drawings that showed
my refrigerator’s going
here, my sink is going to
be there, and my stove

top here. So, when we
got to the ordering point,
we knew it was all going
to fit in here perfectly.
And it did.”
Hardy says that, depending on the details
involved, it usually takes
a few weeks to a month
of going back and forth
with the homeowner to
get a rough layout and a
design. She and the Michauds hit it off well as
they began to talk about
the customers’ space and
how they would live in
it.
“Laura and I would
different ideas together
so that both would be
happy with the result.
“Lori was really great
at helping my husband
Bill and I meld our two
styles together,” Laura
Michaud says with a
chuckle. “He’s definitely
more ornate in his choices, and I like things a a
little simpler. She was
great at helping us find
that fine line that he liked
and I liked, and keeping
us both on track…and
still married!”

email if I had a question.
If she thought of something, she could email
me her list. It made it
much easier also to keep
track of what she wanted, to make sure those
important things were
incorporated into the
space. And then as time
progressed, we could see
how things were evolving and changing.”

Train Travel Around the World
Victor Block
try, where grapes have been
grown and wine produced
since 1677.
Information about these
and other U.S. trains is
available at Amtrak.com.
For most people, taking a
train is one way of traveling from one place to another. For others, the trip
itself is the major attraction.
They’re interested
in the ride, passing scenery
and sometimes activities
available to passengers.
Let’s take a virtual journey
aboard several outstanding
rail trips around the country
and the world.
Given the beauty of the
soaring Alps mountains in
Switzerland, it’s no surprise that there’s a choice
of trains which introduce
passengers to their splendor. The Bernina Express
crosses the Alps between
Northern and Southern Europe, and offers dramatic
views of towering mountains, castles and, eventually, the sun-soaked villages
of southern Italy. For more
information, the website
is https://www.rhb.ch/en/
panoramic-trains/berninaexpress.
Another shorter but
equally dramatic ride
through the Swiss Alps is
provided by the Glacier Express. Its 8 hour, 180-milelong trips connect two famous mountain resorts, and
climb to a height of 6,670
feet above sea level.
Views outside change
with the time of year, from
rolling meadows in sum-
Superb Scenery.
Amtrak
Attractions.
There’s no need to leave
the United States to enjoy
some inviting scenic rides.
The California Zephyr between Chicago and San
Francisco climbs both the
Rocky and snow-capped
Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The Adirondack train is
named for the mountain
range it passes, and also
rolls through New York’s
Hudson Valley wine coun-
mer to a tapestry of color
during the fall to the snowblanketed winter landscape. More information is
available at www.glacierexpress.ch.
The setting is equally
dramatic in Canada’s towering Rocky Mountains.
Rocky Mountaineer trains
climb towering peaks and
pass desert-like canyon terrain.
Oversize windows provide unobstructed views of
the scenery. More information is available at rockymountaineer.com.
From Golf Drives to
Game Drives.
Travelers who prefer to
combine activities with a
train ride have a wide range
of alternatives. A long list
of choices is available to
passengers on the Belmond
Royal Scotsman. As it rolls
through the breathtaking
countryside of Scotland,
they may disembark to play
golf in the country where
the game was invented, explore beautiful rural homes
and visit Scotch whiskey
distilleries that offer tours
and tastings.
For more
information, log onto bel-
mond.com/royal-scotsmantrain.
Train experiences in Africa can include viewing
animals in their natural environment. Trips aboard
the Desert Express in Namibia offer game drives,
cheetah and leopard viewing at a safari guest farm,
and lion feeding.
Another excursion explores sand dunes up to
1,000 feet high in the vast
Namib Desert, which
stretches more than 1,200
miles along Africa’s Atlantic coast. For more information log on to http://
www.namibweb.com/desertexpress.html.
Old and New.
The Ffestiniog Railway,
one of several “Great Little
Trains of Wales,” is the
oldest operating railroad
company in the world. It
was founded in 1832, and
in 1863 became the first
narrow gauge train service
to introduce steam engines
– two of which still are in
use.
This group of miniature,
narrow gauge steam-driven
trains chugs through Wales
at slow speeds, so passen-
gers may enjoy the beauty
of the passing landscape.
The Ffestiniog route traverses the Aberglalsyn
Pass, a deep narrow gorge
which has been called the
most beautiful spot in the
United Kingdom, and huffs
and puffs up some of the
longest and steepest inclines in the country. For
more information, log onto
greatlittletrainsofwales.
co.uk.
The newest addition to
the list of great rail trips will
be the first luxury sleeper
train in South America,
which is scheduled to begin service during 2017.
The Belmond Andean Explorer will travel along one
of the highest rail routes in
the world, through the Andes Mountains of Peru at
altitudes reaching nearly
16,000 feet.
Passengers
will visit remote villages
and view the 10,725 foot
deep Cotahuasi Canyon.
More information is available at www.belmond.com/
belmond-andean-explorer.
Short and Long.
Even a train trip of only
11 miles can offer something special. Since 1902,
the narrow gauge Vale of
Rheidol train in Wales has
been transporting passengers through some of the
finest scenery in Britain.
As the cars makes a series
of twists and turns, views
outside change from open
fields to ancient woodlands
to rugged mountains. For
more information log onto
rheidolrailway.co.uk.
In contrast with the tiny
Vale of Rheidol track is
the longest single-service
train ride in the world. The
Trans-Siberian
Railway
covers 5,770 miles and
passes through eight time
zones as it connects Russia’s east and west.
Depending upon which
itinerary they select, passengers may stop at cities
along the route, including
the capital of Mongolia,
have a private viewing of
the Kremlin and take a
class in cooking traditional
Russian dishes.
Among companies with
which people may arrange Trans-Siberian trips
is Golden Eagle Luxury
Trains at luxurytrainclub.
