Rangeley Family Medicine to hold Free Flu Clinic
Volume 5 • Issue 2
October 9, 2015
Have you had your
flu shot, yet? Rangeley Family Medicine
will hold its annual
flu clinic on Wednesday, October 14, from
3:00 to 5:00 PM in
the lower level of the
Health Center.
Vaccines will be
available to everyone at no cost thanks
to tremendous support from the Rangeley Region Health
and Wellness Partnership. Insurances
will not be billed. Do-
nations to the Health
Center, however, are
welcome.
According to the
Maine Center for
Disease Control, influenza is a serious
disease that can lead
to
hospitalization
and death. Although
anyone can contract
the flu, certain populations are at a higher risk of flu-related
complications. They
include young children, persons aged
50 or older, health
care personnel, pregnant women, people
with chronic lung
disease,
diabetes,
heart disease, neurologic
conditions
and certain other
long-term
health
conditions. It is recommended that everyone six months of
age and older obtain
a yearly flu vaccine,
ideally by October.
Rangeley
Family
Medicine is located
at 42 Dallas Hill Road
in Rangeley. For more
information, contact
the Health Center
at (207) 864-3303 or
visit www.RangeleyCHC.org.
Rangeley
Family Medicine is part
of
HealthReach
Community Health
Centers, a group
of eleven Federally Qualified Health
Centers in Central
and Western Maine.
Dedicated providers
deliver high quality
medical and behavioral health care to
citizens in over 80 rural communities. To
ensure access for ev-
eryone, HealthReach
accepts
Medicare,
MaineCare and major insurances. In
addition, an Affordable Care Program
is available to uninsured and underinsured residents as
well as assistance
with
applications
for programs that
help with the cost
of health care and
medications including the Health Insurance Marketplace.
A private, non-profit
celebrating a 40-year
history, HealthReach
is funded by patient
fees, grants and individual donations. n

year that the Mobile
Health Unit will be
traveling throughout
Franklin County offering health screenings. Mobile Health
Unit events will resume in the spring of
2016.
Staff will be offering services such as
blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose
checks; cancer prevention;
nutrition,
physical activity and
tobacco information;
one-on-one
health
counseling and information; distracted driving education
tools; and assistance
with referrals to the
Maine Breast and
Cervical Health Program and other health
assistance programs.
Additional services
include colon cancer screening kits for
those who
qualify
and body composition analysis. The
test kits, a less invasive way to screen
for colon cancer, can
be completed in the
privacy of one's own
home. Body composition analysis will
allow participants to
track various components such as changes in muscle and fat
tissue, and physical
fitness improvements
in which weight may
not change. Body
composition analysis
is an excellent tracking tool for weight
loss, fitness and nutrition programs.
The Mobile Health
Unit will be offering
health screenings at
the Phillips Food Bank
on Thursday, October
8 from 9-11 a.m. and
Edmunds Market on
Thursday,
October

Scam Alert
Bulletin Board
As we embrace
all the beauty that
comes with fall, it’s
also time to be aware
of front-door fraudsters. The most common
door-to-door
scams seen this time
of the year are outdoor
home maintenance,
roof repairs or driveway recoating, and
cold-weather
cons
such as energy audits and inspections,
Page 3
chimney sweeping,
and/or furnace and
ductwork cleaning.
Remember: most legitimate contractors
are too busy to solicit business door-todoor and you should
never pay for anything until a contract
has been signed. Visit the Maine Attorney
General’s
website
for more information:
www.maine.gov/ag.

Bear Hunt Nostalgia
V. Paul Reynolds
By V. Paul Reynolds
The Maine bear
hunt is on!
Unless you are an
agitator with the Humane Society of the
United States, this is
a good story, a good
hunt, and a good time
of year. The weather
in early September
is splendid. Excited
hunters come from all
corners of the country to harvest a Maine
black bear. If they are
lucky they’ll go home
with a one-of-a-kind
rug and, if the meat
is cared for, a cooler
of delicious, lean wild
meat. Guides and
outfitters will pick up
a few bucks. So will
Maine’s rural economy, especially the gas
stations and mom and
pop stores. State bear
biologists will gather bear management
data, and the modest
bear harvest will help
stabilize our mush-
rooming bear population.
There was a period in my life, and
my wife’s, when we
were serious bear
hunters. We did the
weekly baiting with
stale donuts and fryer grease procured
from local businesses. We hauled and
put up multiple tree
stands on the edges of
dark and swampy firchoked thickets. We
both loved it, especially Diane. She killed a
bear and we ate it all.
The bear burger in the
spaghetti and lasagna
was special. I never
did kill a Maine black
bear, but I watched a
few from tree stands.
What a kick!
One afternoon a
big sow and three
cubs showed up at
my bait site. Momma
bear ate a few old donuts and then backed
off to make room for
the cubs. When the
youngsters got piggish at the bait the
sow clicked her teeth
and the cubs scampered off only to return at Momma’s signal.
On another occasion, just before dusk,
a small male bear ma-
terialized before my
eyes by the bait site.
It looked up at me. I
froze. Then he relaxed
and went at the grub.
“Should I or shouldn’t
I put his lights out?”
In the scope I saw
that his ears were big
and his head small:
a youngster. I didn’t
have the heart to send
a .50 caliber muzzle
loading sabot his way.
Once in Labrador, as
camp manager, it was
my job to dispatch
an old rogue boar
that was scaring the
sports and refusing
to leave the vicinity of
the cook house. (We
had permits for such
encounters).
Terminating the old bruin
was just something
that had to be done.
I would rather have
shooed him off, but he
was not shy.
Diane and I cherish
our memories of days
at bear camp. The
routine was a pleasant one. A big meal
at mid-day, topped
off with homemade
blackberry pie. Then
we camoed up and
headed for our respective tree stands. A
late afternoon vigil in
the September woods,
waiting and watching
for that black form
to suddenly appear,
tends to keep you
awake, even with a
too-full tummy.
At dusk in the dank
fir-thickets,
climbing down from the
tree stand and putting both feet on the
ground in known bear
country is also an exhilarating experience.
Bear guides tell stories of having to retrieve a client from a
tree stand who just
couldn’t quite bring
himself to descend
the ladder in marginal
light.
I guess that it was
all the preparatory
work that brought our
bear hunt days to an
end. Today, we still
miss the bear camp
regimen, the weather,
the food, the company
and hunt anticipation.
We may try it again
one day, as long as we
can still clamber up a
tree stand or find an
outlet that will furnish
us with old donuts
and fryer grease.
Or maybe we will
just go to bear camp,
pick blackberries, eat
a full-course meal at
mid-day, and watch
the fading September sun angle its way
down amid the blushing swamp maples
and jagged fir thickets. n

Klahr Center hosts the 2015 Pride Film Festival
The Holocaust and
Human Rights Center of Maine, the UMA
Diversity
Committee, and Katz Library
present the 2015 Pride
Film Festival at the
Michael Klahr Center
on October 8th, 15th,
22nd, and 29th at 7
p.m.
The Pride Film Festival was created three
years ago by a group
of individuals on the
campus of the University of Maine at Augusta with the goal
of showing films that
encouraged discussion and celebration
of the LGBTQ community in central Maine.
All films are free and
open to the public.
Snacks and refreshments are provided,
and a discussion is
held following each
film.
The 2015 festival
begins on Thursday,
October
8th
with the showing of
Pride (2014). One of
the surprises of the
Cannes Film Festival, and winner of the
Queer Palm Award,
The Guardian called
Pride “Impassioned
and lovable.” Set in
1984 in a small mining village in Wales,
the film is the story
of a group of gay and
lesbian activists who
raise money to assist
striking British mine
workers and their
families. The National
Union of Mineworkers
is reluctant to accept
the support in fear of
being associated with
an openly gay group,
so the activists go
directly to one of the
hardest hit villages
where the strike has
affected nearly every
family. The New Yorker called it “Brilliantly
Entertaining.” Pride
is 119 minutes and is
rated R.
The film for Thursday, October 15th is
Transamerica (2005).

Flushing Notice
The Rangeley Water
District will be conducting maintenance
flushing during the
month of October.
Chlorine smell and
taste, discolored wa-
ter, and lower than
normal pressure may
be experienced periodically during this
time.
RWD apologizes in
advance for any incon-
pre-operative transsexual named Bree
(whose given name
was Stanley). One
week before going
under the knife, Bree
learns that she fathered a boy who
is now 17 and is in
trouble with the law
in New York. The
two strangers take a
cross country trip to
LA and their lives are
changed. “It’s funny
in spots, touching in
others and uniformly
life-affirming.” Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Transamerica is 103
minutes and is rated
R.

Outrage
(2009) by Kirby Dick
recounts some of the
most famous examples of anti-gay advocates caught in situations that revealed
that political will
sometimes isn’t related to personal inclination. Outrage premiered at the Tribeca
Film Festival before
being released theatrically and was immediately denounced
by former New York
City Mayor Ed Koch,
one of the film’s subjects. Outrage was
nominated for a 2010
Emmy Award, and
won Miami Gay and

best documentary. “A

Genealogy Tourism Becomng Increasingly Popular
School children in Belarus welcome members of a
family on an Ancestral Footsteps tour to their ancestral village with a gift of traditional bread.

tour explores the woods in France where the wife’s
grandfather fought the Germans during World War

Planning a visit to
Poland, where his
ancestors had lived,
Bernard Janicki went
online and tracked
down
the
parish
priest in the village
where his mother
had been born. When
he arrived, the pastor helped him find
church records that
traced his grandfather’s lineage to 1819,
and the maternal side
of his family back to
1751. Thus he became
one of an increasing
number of people who
have made genealogy
tourism – combining
travel with research
to trace their family roots -- one of the
fastest growing segments of the tourism
industry.
The wealth of information available online is a good place
to begin a trip down
memory lane. A few
strokes on a computer
keyboard can unearth
census records, ship
passenger lists, immigration documents
and a treasure trove
of other data.
The National Archives contains a
mother lode of information. The Family History Center of
research information
from tour members in
advance, which is forwarded to researchers on the scene who
make contacts and
arrange meetings in
each family’s village.
For more information
log onto familytreetours.com.
Several firms arrange visits to Salt
Lake City, where participants have access
to the voluminous
records available at
the Family History
Center. When not poring over records or
seated before a computer, roots researchers spend free time
enjoying
extra-curricular activities like
attending a rehearsal
of the world-famous
Mormon Tabernacle
Choir and touring
the magnificent Temple Square Garden,
which sprawls across
35 acres.
Among tour companies that offer research visits to Salt
Lake City are Ancestor Seekers (ancestorseekers.com) and
Ann-Mar Genealogy
Trips (genealogytrips.
com).
The ancestraltravel.
net website offers an
international inven-
ample, Legacy Family
Tree cruises combine daily genealogy
classes taught by experts in the field with
itineraries that range
from the Caribbean
and Panama Canal to
Alaska and Australia.
When not getting
valuable information
and assistance relating to their family history hunt, passengers
can enjoy the usual
cruise ship amenities
and activities, plus
some surprises like an
ice skating rink, miniature golf and classes in wine tasting,
jewelry making and
other pursuits. For
more information, log
onto legacyfamilytree.

People who sign
up with Cruise Everything for a genealogy voyage get to
help plan the subjects that experts in
the field will discuss.
Passengers receive a
questionnaire several months in advance
that allows the speakers to cover the topics
of greatest interest.
Their presentations
include information
about using the Internet for research, photography and sources of helpful records.
the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day
Saints is the world’s
largest
depository,
with records from
over 100 countries.
Ancestry.com, which
claims the title of
world’s largest online
resource for family
history information,
includes billions of
historical records on
its websites.
But no amount of
knowledge can compete with the thrill
of making personal
contact with relatives
you might not have
known exist, or visiting places where
your forebears lived
and your family roots
were planted. Tour
companies offer both
organized group trips
and individual visits
to states and countries where birth,
marriage, death and
other sources of information await discovery. There even are
genealogy cruises for
people who prefer to
combine a learning
experience with the
opportunity to take to
the high seas.
Family Tree Tours
takes small groups of
travelers to Germany,
Poland and Ireland.
The company obtains
tory of genealogy research tour providers.
Another must-see
website is cyndislist.
com, a free categorized and cross-referenced list of more
than 335,000 links
to helpful resources.
Categories
include
localities,
ethnic
groups, religions and
more. This can help
people planning a
trip to locate archives,
court houses, cemeteries and other places where they can
seek family history information before they
leave home.
Those seeking the
ultimate in a personalized tour may find
what they’re looking
for at www.ancestralfootsteps.com. A
researcher accompanies clients throughout their journey to
places where their ancestors lived, attended school, worked
and worshipped. Its
luxury offerings might
even include travel
by private jet and a
chauffeur-driven car.

Team is a group of
energetic volunteers
who came together in
2013 to explore how
Wilton Fish & Game
Assoc. Fall Raffle
Winners
Farmington Fair has
come to a close and
the final raffle ticket
winners have been
drawn.
The first prize winner this year for the
annual fund raiser raffle is Elvis Phair from
Wilton. Phair had the
choice of a 12 gauge
shot gun or a wooden
box collection of pink
ice fishing traps made
by Brian Maxham and
donated to the club
by Greg Nemi. Phair
selected the gun, the
traps will be used as
a prize for the annual
ice fishing derby in
February. 2nd prize
of a fly fishing combo
and net was won by
Korinne Collidge of
Farmington, and the
3rd place prize of a
walking stick donated by Warren Bryant,
and 2 youth life jackets donated by Charlie Tappan went to
Deb Rowe of Wilton. n
to help seniors in the
Rangeley area live
in their homes for as
long as possible and
remain an active part
of this vibrant little
community. Initially
started with the financial help from a
Seniors Plus planning
grant, H.E.L.P. is now
under the umbrella of
Rangeley Health and
Wellness (RHW). With
the support of RHW
grant funding, individual donations and
community support,
the H.E.L.P. group is
thriving!
Current
H.E.L.P.
projects:
The Neighbors Calling Neighbors program to check in on
seniors living alone
with a daily call and
brief conversation. If
you have a loved one
that would like a daily
call, please call Marcia at 864-3351.
Future H.E.L.P. initiatives:
H.E.L.P, in partnership with the
Rangeley Rotary, will
be hosting a Winter Senior Social every Thursday January-April, from 10am
to 2pm at the Undercroft of the Good
Shepard. This will be
a time for conversation, games, puzzles,
cards and a delicious
noon meal.
The H.E.L.P. Adult
Respite Care Program
is slated to open in
2016. This program
will provide needed aid to caregivers
of
cognitively-challenged seniors one
day a week. Stay
tuned for more information.
These programs are
very exciting, and

Union Laws Apply to Non-Union Workplaces:
Non-solicitation and non-distribution policies even where there is no union
Submitted by
Rebecca Webber
No union? Your
business still needs
to pay attention to the
National Labor Relations Act. The issue
getting a lot of attention is facebook messages and what can
be done about them
when
employees
slam their bosses or
employer’s business
but there are other
issues too, and those
apply to non-unionized workplaces as
well as places with
unions.
The Supreme Court
has long held that the
right of employees to
communicate
with
one another regarding self-organization
at the job site is protected by Section 7
of the National Labor
Relations Act. Section
7 is the part of the
National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”)
that gives employees
the right to self-organization. This part of
the NLRA applies to
non-unionized work-
places as well as places with unions. Section 8 is the portion of
the NLRA that makes
it illegal to interfere
with the rights set
out in Section 7 and
describes what are
called “unfair labor
practices.” Prohibiting union solicitation
but allowing other
types of solicitation
would be called an
unfair labor practice.
The right to communicate set out in Section 7 encompasses
the right to distribute
union literature. The
Court has affirmed
this right in a variety
of settings. See, e.g.,
Beth Israel Hosp. v.
NLRB, 437 U.S. 483,
507 (1978) (holding
that a hospital violates Section 8(a)(1)
by preventing an employee from distributing union materials
“during nonworking
time in nonworking
areas, where the facility has not justified the prohibition
as necessary to avoid
disruption of health-
care operations or
disturbance of the
patients”). Limits on
distribution policies
apply to email as well.
An employer may not
single out union-related messages for
harsher
treatment,
whether explicitly in
its policy or by enforcing a policy only
against union communications.
For example, if an
employer allows employees to send personal messages using company email,
it must allow them
to send union-related
email messages. Similarly, an employer that
allows employees to
solicit coworkers on
behalf of various organizations may not
prohibit messages soliciting on behalf of a
union.
Limits
imposed
with a union in mind
will need to be evaluated in terms of all the
non-union solicitation
and distribution that
often takes place in
any workplace. For

example, as one court
noted, the employer, a
hospital, “had permitted use of the cafeteria for other types of
solicitation, including
fund drives, which,
if not to be equated
with union solicitation in terms of potential for generating
controversy, at least
indicates that the
hospital regarded the
cafeteria as sufficiently commodious to admit solicitation and
distribution without
disruption.” Beth Israel Hosp. v. N.L.R.B.,
437 U.S. at 502-03. The
Court did acknowledge that union activity was recognized
as possibly generating behavior that was
“undesirable in the
hospital's cafeteria,”
but held that there
were “less restrictive
means of regulating
organizational activity” that were more focused on the precise
harm to be avoided.
In other words, if the
concern is noise, limit noise, but not all
union gatherings; if
the concern is crowding, limit meetings to
less crowded times
rather than impose a
blanket prohibition.
In another case, the
employer allowed a
wide variety of solicitations – without
discipline – including
solicitations at work
stations for Girl Scout
cookies, ‘beach balm’
suntan lotion, March
of Dimes, United Way,
Secretary’s Day, and
Boss’ Day, and ‘going
away’ parties, birthday parties, and other
social occasions. In
addition,
conversation was not limited
to just work but included a wide range
of subjects unrelated
to work, with no re-
sultant counseling. In
contrast, an employee
soliciting on behalf
of a union was disciplined for both discussing and soliciting
the signing of a union
card. That employer
was found in violation
of the NLRA.
Guidelines:
1. Don’t wait and
update/revise/review
policies until after
union activity has already begun.
2. Decide what the
harms are that the
policy is intended to
prevent:
disruption
of customer service?
Customers
seeing
disturbing information? Noise? Crowding?
Distraction
during working times
as opposed to breaks
or off duty periods?
Don’t suddenly have a
concern about noise,
though, for example,
just at the same time
someone first posts
a piece of union literature on a bulletin
board.
3. Draft a policy that
is focused on doing
just what is necessary
to accomplish those
goals and address the
identified concerns.
4. Don’t have a policy that allows unlimited exceptions so
long as approved by
someone in management.
5. Don’t have a policy that forbids union
activity, or that is
used to discipline an
employee for union
activity, when other
solicitation activity is
allowed.
6. Don’t have an access policy that forbids solicitation and
distribution in areas
where non-union solicitations and distributions have taken
place in the past.
7. Do have a poli-
cy that limits access
solely with respect to
the interior of the facility and other working
areas; “mixed use” areas or areas that have
been used for solicitation in non-union
activities cannot be
limited in terms of the
content of the use by
employees and discussion allowed.
8. Do disseminate
the policy to all employees, not just the
ones engaging in activities
associated
with unions.
9. Do have a policy
that applies to off-duty employees seeking
access to the facility
for any purpose (or
base the limits on criteria like location and
whether interfering
with customer service). You can have
exceptions that allow
access by employees
in their capacity not
as employees but as
customers/patients/
visitors themselves
with that access simply requiring that
employees in those
capacities follow the
same rules as any
other
customer/patient/visitor.

The Healthy Geezer
By Fred Cicetti
Q. I’ve been seeing lots of references
about “restless legs
syndrome.” I’ve never heard of this condition. Is it rare?
Restless
Legs
Syndrome (RLS) affects about one in
ten adults in North
America and Europe.
RLS is found in both
men and women but
can begin in children. The percentage of people with
RLS increases with
age. And, seniors experience symptoms
longer and more frequently.
Many researchers
believe that RLS is
under-reported. Victims of RLS are often
diagnosed as suffer-
ing from insomnia,
depression or a disorder of the nerves,
muscles or skeleton.
RLS is a neurologic
movement disorder.
It produces uncomfortable sensations
that cause an irresistible urge to move
the legs. RLS symptoms can be relieved
temporarily by movement. Symptoms occur during inactivity
and strike most frequently during the
evening. These attacks lead to sleep
problems.
The Restless Legs
Syndrome Foundation says there must
be five essential features present for a
diagnosis of restless
legs syndrome:
* You have a strong
urge to move your
legs
(sometimes
arms and trunk),
usually accompanied
or caused by uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations
in the legs.
* Your symptoms
begin or become
worse when you are
resting or inactive,
such as when lying
down or sitting.
* Your symptoms
get better when you
move, such as when
you walk or stretch,
at least as long as
the activity continues.
* Your symptoms
are worse in the evening or night than
during the day, or
only occur in the evening or nighttime
hours.
* Your symptoms
are not solely accounted for by another condition such
as leg cramps, positional discomfort, leg
swelling or arthritis.
RLS may be inherited. About half of
patients have a family history of the RLS.
Also, there is a lower incidence of RLS
in Asia than there
is in North America
and Europe.
There are two
forms of RLS—primary and secondary.
Primary RLS is unrelated to other disorders; its cause is
unknown. Secondary
RLS can be brought
on by kidney failure, pregnancy, iron
deficiency anemia,
or some medications. Research has
shown that there is
a relationship between RLS and attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD).
Most people with
RLS also have periodic limb movement
disorder
(PLMD),
which causes leg
twitching or jerking
movements during
sleep.
There are drugs
approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration to treat
RLS. These include
Mirapex®, Requip®
and Neupro®. There
are
also
several
drugs approved for
other conditions that
help alleviate RLS
symptoms.
It is possible to
combat the symptoms in other ways.
Walking, massage,
stretching, hot or
cold baths, vibration,
acupressure, medi-
tation and yoga can
help.
Caffeine and alcohol can worsen RLS
symptoms.
