This sugar is made when carbon dioxide combines with chlorophyll (the pigment that produces the green color), then further blends with oxygen and hydrogen to form dextrose, a form of sugar. This process, called photosynthesis, favors temperatures of about 70°, and diffused sunlight. In July, when the daylight period becomes shorter, the tree’s chlorophyll production slows down and the tree’s leaves rely on its reserves to continue the production of sugars. Once the sugar is depleted, and there are no other pigments in the leaf, the leaf will become colorless. However, there are three other pigments found in leaves: carotene (yellow), tannin (brown) and anthocyanin (red or purple). Small quantities of carotene and tannins are present in leaves all summer but they don’t rear their color until the green chlorophyll is near absent. This is why birch and poplar turn bright yellow and oaks turn brown in the fall. The production of anthocyanin (reds and purples) become prominent with cooler nights and warm, sunny days. Contrary, the cloudier, duller, overcast days reduce the reds and orange pigments. Maine is well known for spectacular foliage, drawing thousands of “leaf-peepers” to our State each September. Unlike those who travel to see this wonder, res- idents are fortunate to see this scientific process unfold in the front yard. Get out and en- joy your view this Fall! Happy Trails from RLHT Staff and Board!n SOMEONE FORGOT TO TREAT YOU TO A MASSAGE CUT THIS OUT AND REMIND THEM Tina Falasco, LMT Rangeley, ME 864-5805 Specializing in Deep Tissue & Neuromuscular Therapy Mountain Messenger Page 2 October 7, 2016 www.turnerpublishing.net Happy Birthday to Maine Author Stephen King By Sarah Jane Abbott Off the Shelf Guinness Superlatives, the group that awards the Guinness World Records, has named Stephen King the living author with the greatest number of motion picture adaptations of his work. This comes as no surprise, as it seems that nearly everything Stephen King writes is adapted into some sort of film. Many of these adaptations have become iconic horror movies, while some are lesser known. They are based on King’s novels, short stories, novellas, and even on original screenplays. In honor of some exciting new adaptations on the horizon, we decided to run down our favorite Stephen King writings that have been adapted for the small and big screen. Go ahead, read the source material for a film you love—you’ll be glad you did! Hearts in Atlantis The gentle, nostalgic 2001 film, “Hearts in Atlantis,” is based on the melancholic short story “Low Men in Yellow Coats.” In the summer of 1960, 11-year-old Bobby befriends the mysterious older man, Ted Brautigan, who moves into the upstairs apartment. Little does Bobby know that Ted is being pursued by sinister “low” men in yellow coats. a bullied high school girl who discovers she has telekinetic powers and famously uses them to enact horrific revenge against her tormentors at the prom. It was adapted into a film in 2013, but I vastly prefer the 1976 version starring Sissy Spacek as Carrie. This original adaption is considered a landmark film in the horror genre. Bag of Bones The 2011 two-episode miniseries “Bag of Bones” is based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. Mike Noonan is a bestselling author who is unable to write in the wake of the sudden death of his wife. Plagued by nightmares, he returns to his Maine lake house where he starts receiving messages from his wife from beyond the grave. Different Seasons The beloved 1994 film, “The Shawshank Redemption,” is based on the novella “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.” The novella is the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. The film, which starred Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, was nominated for 7 Oscars. Carrie Stephen King’s legendary debut novel follows Carrie White, Misery When novelist Paul Sheldon is in a terrible car crash on a wintry night, he is rescued by nurse Annie Wilkes, who just happens to be his biggest fan. But when his latest novel isn’t to Wilkes’s liking, Sheldon becomes prisoner to her violent temper. The novel is gripping and nightmarish and the 1990 film features Kathy Bates at her creepy, demented best. Dolores Claiborne King’s novel DOLORES CLAIBORNE was adapted into the 1995 film starring (again) Kathy Bates. When housekeeper Dolores Claiborne is questioned in the mysterious, sudden death of her wealthy employer, a long-hidden dark secret from her past is revealedas is the strength of her own will to survive. Night Shift “Children of the Corn,” a short story from the collection NIGHT SHIFT, has Try a little spawned an ongoing horror franchise with sequel after sequel. The story follows a couple who accidentally hit a boy while driving through an abandoned town in Nebraska. They soon discover that all inhabitants over the age of 19 have fallen victim to an all-child, pagan cult that worships a demonic entity who inhabits the cornfields that surround the town. Now they must fight for their lives or become victims of this vicious cult themselves. The Shining The 1980 Stanley Kubrick film “The Shining” is undoubtedly the most famous adaptations of Stephen King’s work. Who could forget Jack Nicholson poking his head through the wrecked bathroom door shouting “Here’s Johnny!”? Iconic. The novel tells the story of the Torrence family and their move to the isolated Overlook Hotel after the father, Jack, gets a job as an off-season caretaker. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location becomes completely cut off from civilization and Jack begins to unravel. Four Past Midnight Stephen King’s collection FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT contains the novella “Secret Window, Secret Garden;” the basis for the 2004 film “Secret Window,” starring Johnny Depp and Maria Bello. “Secret Win- EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR HOME-COOKED MEALS TENDERNESS ® Delicious recipes and fresh ingredients delivered to your door.

Under the Dome King’s novel UNDER THE DOME was the basis of the 2013 television series. On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Tensions inside the dome rise as resources dwindle and power struggles arise. Can the residents of Chester’s Mill band together to survive, or are they doomed to destroy one another? The Green Mile Stephen King’s serialized novel, THE GREEN MILE, was an unprecedented publishing triumph: all six volumes ended up on the New York Times bestseller list—simultaneously—while the 1999 film adaption earned 4 Oscar nominations. At Cold Mountain Penitentiary, convicted killers await their turn to walk the Green Mile. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has never seen anyone like John Coffey, a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child. In this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover a truth about Coffey that will challenge his most cherished beliefs ... and yours. Storm of the Century The 1999 TV miniseries “Storm of the Century” is based on an original screenplay written by Stephen King. The residents of Little Tall Island have seen their share of nasty Maine Nor’easters, but this one is different. When a mysterious stranger appears on the island and brutally murdered bodies start to pile up, what the stranger demands is unthinkable ... Read along as you watch— it’s great fun! Full Dark, No Stars This collection of four novellas includes “Big Driver,” which was made into a 2014 Lifetime TV movie starring Maria Bello as Tess, a woman who seeks revenge after being brutally assaulted and left for dead. It also includes “A Good Marriage,” in which Darcy Anderson realizes that her husband of 27 years may actually be an infamous, at-large serial killer. The novella was adapted into a film in 2014 with a screenplay by King himself and Joan Allen starring as Darcy. The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger The Dark Tower is Stephen King’s epic 8-volume science-fantasy Western series following Roland Deschain, a.k.a The Gunslinger, on his quest to save his decaying home, MidWorld, by reaching the fabled Dark Tower, despite the efforts of The Man in Black to prevent him from completing his quest. The hotly anticipated 2017 film adaption has King as a producer and stars Idris Elba as The Gunslinger and Matthew McConaughey as The Man in Black. It Stephen King’s engrossing 1986 novel about the nature of fear and evil follows “The Losers’ Club,” a group of seven friends who are terrorized by and attempt to destroy a murderous, shape-shifting entity they refer to as “It,” whose primary form is the horrifying Pennywise the Dancing Clown. IT is being adapted into a 2017 film starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise; this adaption follows the 1990 TV miniseries in which Tim Curry embodied the iconic clown.

Danielle Pushard Emery Danielle is a wife and a mother to her two fur babies. She is a graphic designer at Turner Publishing. She has her degree in communications and new media. My favorite time of year! Fall. I did a poll on Facebook and this month’s DIY project was the winner. If you want to help vote for the next DIY, go to Turner Publishing’s Facebook page and “like” one of the options provided that I have cho- sen from Pinterest. If you would like to see me do a project that you have found on Pinterest, go a head and send me a message through our Facebook page. If you would like to mail me, address it to Danielle Does DIY and send it to P.O. Box 214, Turner, ME 04282. To start the project, I went to Hobby Lobby and got the items needed for this DIY project: a can of white spray paint, a stencil, some sparkly crayons, contact cement, and some painter’s tape. I also went to a dollar store and got two 48-packs of crayons. I suggest you buy a cheap hairdryer if you don’t own one or ask to borrow a friend’s, if they are willing. Most of this list was suggested by the Pinterest project I followed. At the time I did not realize the adventure I had in store. I spray painted all the pumpkins and decided to use some paint from a past project and sprayed one pumpkin purple to add my own flare to the DIY. I did a couple coats to make them as white and purple as possible. I waited for them to fully dry before beginning the next step. Next I unwrapped the crayons to be used in this project. This part was a little difficult. I snapped them in thirds to peel the paper off more eas- ily. Next, I glued the unwrapped crayons to the pumpkins with contact cement. I used contact cement because I could not find tacky glue like used in the pin. I believe the tacky glue would have stuck better. I just had to wait a little longer for the contact cement to dry. After I glued the crayons to the smaller pumpkins, I taped the stencil to the pumpkin to change the project a little. The stencil shows a couple standing under an umbrella. I have seen this stencil used in other melting crayon art projects and decided to give it a shot. I covered the couple painted on the pumpkin with paper using the painters tape. That way it would give the effect of the umbrella protecting them from the colorful crayon rain. Once all the paint and glue was dry it was time to use my hairdryer to melt the crayons, or so I thought. The crayons that melted the best were the Crayola brand, but it was slow going at that. I tried a lighter but that was a hassle. After about an hour of trying to melt the crayons using both the lighter and the hairdryer, I called in reinforcements, my father. I called my father and he had a solution: a heat gun. Once I had that in hand I first tried the low At Turner Publishing we publish 20 papers monthly, all available FREE ONLINE! www.turnerpublishing.net setting and, voila, we had melting crayons, ladies and gentlemen! I found that the cheaper crayons were the problem. I even used the high setting on the heat gun to get an even crayon melt on the pumpkin. After quite a few hours of working on this project I was finally done and I think they look fantastic. I touched up some spots with marker and white tape. My final thoughts: Don’t use cheap crayons. Doing this project, you need to have patience if using a hair dryer and don’t expect it to be a quick project. One thing I can say is spray paint- ing outside in the fall is easier all the way around than inside or in the summer. The air is cooler and easier to breathe and thankfully the wind was in my favor. Now rating this pin based on the facts I would give it a two-and-a-half stars just because the original project did not specify a brand of crayons to use which I feel makes all the difference on the melting point. I would call this Do-able only because I was able to get it done after hours of working on this project. n Locally O Owned & O Operated Your one stop shop for Wood, Gas & Pellet fireplaces, Inserts & Stoves Venting Accessories & more.

Positioned on the landing is an eye-catching grandfather clock. Another architectural feature throughout the house that attracts attention is the woodwork with its detailed styling. Ornate moldings encase windows, doorways, and archways. Some walls and ceilings are paneled. The newell posts of the staircase are of three designs and topped with a mahogany bannister. The stairs are oak covered with a rich red carpet. Other wood floors throughout the home are protected with Persian area rugs. The area in the central hall and staircase is lit with crystal chandeliers. The Foss house has 12 rooms on the first two floors, excluding the basement rooms. The first floor has a kitchen with butler’s pantry, formal dining room, living room, library, bathroom, and solarium. The second floor has five goodsized bedrooms with adjoining baths. One of the bedrooms with adjourning bath was the second-floor servants’ quarters. The third floor includes a servant’s bedroom, storage area, and a large room finished with tongue-ingroove boards which was known as the recreation or billiard room. A back stairway from the kitchen leads directly to second and third floor servant quarters. The basement, which is one of the home’s areas not open to the public, is reached by a stairway located in the back hallway. The basement is divided into many The home of Horatio G. and Ella M. Foss at 19 Elm Street, Auburn, was constructed during the years 1914 to 1917. The length of time it took for the house to be built was partly due to the fact that there was already a large, old house on the property that needed to be torn down first. During excavation on the property in 1915, three sets of human skeletons were unearthed, according to published accounts. At that time, the skeletons were believed to have been very old Native American remains. The Foss house was designed by architects Eugene J. Gibbs and Addison Pulsifer with Georgian Revival features and Spanish elements. The three-story, rectangular-shaped house has a highly symmetrical facade, Palladian windows, white stucco exterior and red clay tiles on its dormered hip roof. The front entrance is a porch flanked by four two-story Greek columns topped with a pediment and the solid-wood front door has leaded glass sidelights. The front door, which is topped with a rectangular transom, leads into a tile-floored foyer which opens into a central hall. Walking through the foyer and into the splendid central hall, one is faced with an impressive flying staircase, which looks as if it does not have the usual support features in place. On the circular landing, which divides the staircase, are five bowed, stained glass windows, two Frank cerminara LANDSCAPING • Lawn Maintenance • Walkways - Patios • Retaining Walls • Tree Installation TRUCKING Denise Scammon photos Photos taken at the Foss mansion, 19 Elm Street, in Auburn, show the mansion’s sun room, a favorite with visitors; the sign on the front lawn which identifies the mansion; the flying staircase decorated for the holidays; and the central vacuum engine located in the mansion’s basement.

In addition to the detailed, quality woodwork throughout the house and the flying staircase, other outstanding features include four fireplaces, period wallpaper, several original paintings, concealed lights in the dining room, sliding pocket doors, and a dumb waiter that goes from basement to third floor. Georgian-Revival features are prominent in the symmetry found throughout the house, inside and out, such as the way the porte cochere on one side of the house is balanced by the solarium on the other side of the house.

BOOK REVIEW: ‘Into the North Woods’ Carleen Cote In our 51 years of rehabbing Maine’s wildlife, we have dealt with many animals with mange It used to be confined to foxes. Now we get many infested porcupines. If they are heavily infested, they do not survive. Sarcoptic mange, which is passed from animal to animal by bodily contact, is caused by a microscopic parasite which burrows under the skin. Signs of mange are mild to moderate itching, skin thickening, seborrhea (crust formation), then severe, almost constant itching. The mite’s secretions cause the itching. Hair or fur starts o fall out because of the constant scratching and ensuing damage to hair follicles. The scratching eventually leads to open wounds, which then become infected. An animal will literally die from overwhelming infections. Sightings of nearly bald animals as a result of mange have been reported. In this case, late in the year, an animal will perish from the lack of protection against winter’s freezing temperatures. Any animal can be- Page 9 www.turnerpublishing.net come infested with the mange mite, including humans. Many years ago, during one of my husband Don’s treks through the woods, he came across a dead fox and handled it. Several days later, he started itching, which increased daily. He visited the family doctor who diagnosed the cause of itching as maybe something he ate or a change in laundry detergent. The itching continued to worsen, finally sending Donald to the hospital emergency room! Diagnosis: mange. His treatment was the application of lindain, a pesticide absorbed through the skin to kill the burrowing mites, while taking care to launder all bedding and clothing. The activity of the mites ended, but the itching continued, slowly subsiding, for six months. We have received several mange-infested foxes, none of which displayed signs of the affliction when they arrived at our Center. As soon as we were aware of the situation, we re- moved all bedding from the fox houses, sprayed the houses and grounds with pesticide, burned the hay bedding and treated the animals and then the humans. Once we received a young fox so heavily infested with the mites that we were advised not to try to save it and, reluctantly, agreed. With the onset of winter, we were told that any mites left on the ground by the fox would not survive the freezing temperatures. Wrong! We discovered that, not only had the mites survived, they had migrated from the area where the young fox had been kept over to the fox pens some 25 feet away! All the foxes were treated and survived to return to the wild.

Halloween season also is a time of year when superstitions take root and add to the spooky and often silly nature of the holiday. Some Halloween traditions can be traced back to the ancient Celts and their belief that spirits of the deceased were able to wander the earth during the time they called Samhain. Costumes were worn so the living could blend in with ghosts, and treats were laid out to appease the spirits. Over the years, additional Halloween superstitions have emerged. The origins vary, but the following are some common superstitions to consider as October 31 draws near. · Some believe that bats flying around a house on Halloween - either indoors or outside - is a sign that spirits lurk nearby. · Black cats have long been thought to be companions of witches or “familiars,” demonic animals gifted to them. While some think it’s bad luck for a black cat to cross your path, in Ireland, Scotland and England, black cats symbolize good luck. · One Halloween superstition states that if you walk around your home backward three times and then counterclockwise three times before the sun sets on Halloween, you will ward off nearby evil spirits. · Legend has it that you will have good luck if you sleep facing south the night before Halloween. · Apples can help people determine if they will live long lives. On Halloween night, you have to make an unbroken apple peel, which will estimate how long you will live. The longer the peel is, the longer you’ll live. · Another superstition suggests that if you spot a spider on Halloween, the spirit of a deceased loved one is watching over you. · It is said that no person should lie in a coffin while alive, even for fun. Otherwise, he or she is inviting death. Also, no item of clothing belonging to a living person should ever be put on a corpse when it is placed in a coffin, for as it rots in the grave so will the rightful owner’s health begin to decline. · Children who are born on Halloween are said to have the gift of second sight, which may also include the power to ward off evil spirits. · People have been warned not to turn around on Halloween night if they hear footsteps behind them, as this could mean Death is following. · There is a super- stition that when you pass a graveyard or house where someone has died, you should turn your pockets inside out to make sure you don’t bring home a ghost in your pocket. · Jack-o’-lanterns light up Halloween nights. Jack-o’-lanterns were originally made out of hollowed-out turnips, but pumpkins replaced the turnips when the Irish emigrated to North America. Jack-o’-lanterns were used to guide lost souls and keep evil spirits at bay. Halloween is full of superstitions, myths and traditions that have been passed down through the years. -courtesy of Metron Ready to buy a home of your own?

RANGELEY: Many old inns are reported to be home to ghosts. The Rangeley Inn and Tavern may have shown signs of paranormal activity such as doors opening and closing by themselves, the smell of cigar smoke when no one is smoking, and the sound of footsteps when no one is walking. Some believe there are five ghosts that haunt the inn. True or false? READFIELD: Whispers, moans and screams have been heard in the Readfield Historical Society and Museum building. The ghost of a young girl appeared when the building was privately owned. True or false? RESPONSE: No, you make it sound like a nuthouse. I don’t know where you got the young girl story, but I have been President of RHS for the past 13 years and the only young girl ghost we have encountered is a three-year-old who turns flashlights on and off in answer to questions. Yes, we have ghosts, but not much noise. The only sounds have been through the radios set up by the paranormal groups. Through those there have been conversations with the spirits. There have been two instances of people being touched. We have had numerous paranormal investigators in and they have all found something. In many cases, they have found the same spirits, because I don’t tell them what other groups have found until they present me with their results. So quit it with the whispers, moans and screams and report the real findings Thank you, Florence Drake, President Readfield Historical Society.

SACO RIVER: There was once a curse placed on the Saco River by a Native American chief whose infant child had been thrown in the water by three white men who wanted to see if it was true that Native Americans can swim at birth. The curse was that three white men drown in the river each year which was fulfilled until the mid 1940s. True or false?

This happened several times over the next few months until my sister finally realized her daughter was mimicking her, as kids so often do to their parents. Whenever my sister was on the phone and the kids started getting loud, she would say to them, “Shh, it’s really important!” – Catherine White, Wilton.

His father felt and worked his way through the living room and up the hall to his son’s room, telling him all was well and that it was just the storm that had knocked out the power. Our grandson said, “Oh, thank God. I thought I had gone blind.” – Mo Lizotte in Jay. I heard a funny one from my granddaughter a few years back. She was visiting in New England from Kentucky. I took her to the beach and she could not get to the water fast enough. All of a sudden she called out, “Grandma, help! My feet have headaches!” This was her first time in our cold waters. The “feet headaches” soon disappeared and she had a great time. – Evelyn Wedding in Norway. It has been an unspoken ritual at our house for many years: the grandkid(s) come in, get Gramp’s underwear out of his bureau, and quickly stuff ‘em in the freezer. Next morning, Gramps gets up, rants and raves, “When will they ever learn that this is NOT funny!” Grandkid(s) tee-hee and it’s another memory never to be forgotten. Only this time it was the three- and four-year-olds who did it for their first time, after observing their siblings or cousins. There was only one problem. They hurriedly stuck the underwear in the freezer in the ice cube maker! In the middle of the night, I could hear grinding noises in the kitchen. Yes, you guessed it! I pulled and tugged to no avail. Gramp’s underwear had to be cut out of the ice cube maker. Thank goodness it didn’t break the ice cube maker because then Gramps would have really ranted and raved. But the story doesn’t end there. A few weeks afterward, we had company from out of state who couldn’t wait to drink our delicious well water, not the chlorinated city water they have back home. My friend kept saying, “It doesn’t taste the same. It just doesn’t taste like the last time we were here.” On their last day visiting us, we talked about each other’s grandkids again for the hundredth time. Suddenly it dawned on me that maybe the water tasted “different” because of the ice cubes! Was there an aftertaste from the chewed up underwear? Was THAT why the water tasted different? – Meme in Dixfield. how come you still have your ear plugs in?” – Barb in Rumford. I was visiting my brother several years ago and his grandchildren stopped by to visit after an afternoon of swimming. Three-year-old Michael kept staring at me and having never seen hearing aids asked,”Aunt Barb, Having received a cool Batman outfit for Christmas, my grandson wore it to pick up a dinner order at a restaurant. His aunt was horrified when he pushed past her and announced, “I’m Batman and I’m here to rob the place.” It got so quiet and then all you could hear was laughter in the restaurant! It took some discussion when he got home on what was wrong with making that announcement! – Cheryl in Mexico.n $100 Winner Join the Mountain Messenger Community Directory Page and you can be the lucky business CHOSEN by OUR 100 dollar winner. call Jodi at 225-2076 for more details. My grandson was cooking with me when he asked, “Nana, do you always make everything from Scotch?” “No! No! Do you mean scratch?” I replied. – Kathleen Knight in W. Farmington. My great-granddaughter was 5 years old when her great-grandfather passed away. Her father told her that her great grandfather had gone to heaven. She said, “Oh, he packed his bags and has gone to see Jesus.” – Hazel in Livermore. When my grandson was about five years old, he said, “Mummy, it is Nana and her friend Grampy.” My grandson was jumping for joy as he had been waiting for us to arrive for a visit. – Kathleen Knight in W.

At an awards ceremony in September, the Breathe Easy Coalition of Maine celebrated the efforts of Maine hospitals in addressing smoking and tobacco use on their campuses. The event highlighted the 2016 Maine Tobacco-Free Hospital Network Gold Star Standards of Excellence Program award winners including Franklin Memorial Hospital (FMH). “Hospitals are health and wellness role models for their communities, so it is important for them to set an example around reducing tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke,” said Sarah Mayberry of the Breathe Easy Coalition. “The Gold Star Standards of Excellence Program is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of Maine hospitals to create policies to address these issues.” Franklin Memorial Hospital was one of 30 hospitals statewide to receive the highest Gold Star award level. FMH has achieved this level every year since the program’s inception, being cited as meeting all 10 best practice standards around creating a tobacco-free environment and supporting tobacco-free lifestyles. “Franklin Memorial Hospital is pleased to receive this recognition and set an example for other organizations in our community,” said Gerald Cayer, vice president. “Keeping our campus tobacco free not only impacts the health of employees, patients, and visitors by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke, but also communicates the critical message that tobacco use is exceptionally hazardous to health.” Tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the country and a major contributor to health care costs. “Meeting these standards requires hard work and commitment from these health care organizations, and the Breathe Easy Coalition of Maine is pleased to be able to honor their dedication,” said Mayberry. n Franklin Memorial Hospital representatives receiving the Gold Star Standards of Excellence award included Gerald Cayer, vice president, Heather Fellman, Healthy Community Coalition program associate, and Nicole Ditata, Healthy Maine Partnership director.
