Spine-chilling Fear & Terror at Lost Valley
Are you a Halloween fright seeker looking to have the living
daylights scared out of
you? The new owners
of Lost Valley, Scott and
April Shanaman, have
transformed the lodge
basement into a pro-level haunted attraction for
the month of October.
The Dark Cellar, as it is
dubbed, is part of Lost
Valley’s new Mountain
of Terror, which opens at
6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14.
“The basement of Lost
Valley’s lodge seemed
like the perfect place to
create this haunted attraction, we’re protected
from the weather and it’s
already dark and spooky
when the lights are out,”
Shanaman stated.
In addition to the
haunted
basement,
fright-seekers will also
have the option to ride
the Gravitron or take a
seat on The Chair Lift
to the Unknown, a liftserved attraction, bringing guests to the top of
the mountain for another
eerily themed area, payto-play zombie paintball
gallery.
For the younger Halloween thrill seekers and
families, the upstairs of
the lodge will feature
a Family Fright Zone,
featuring games, photo
props, kid-friendly scary
scenes and an indoor
train ride.
Lost Valley has also
partnered with nearby
Wallingford’s Nightmare
on the Ridge, to offer
a combo pass to both
locations for an entire
evening of terror-filled
fun. Combo pass buyers
will get a wagon ride to
either location from the
top of Lost Valley to the
orchard or vice versa.
Organizers of the
Mountain of Terror were
tight lipped on the exact
details of the featured
scare but they did say the
main theme of the scare
is not from our planet.
The Mountain of Terror
is open every Friday &
Saturday
6pm-11pm,
rain or shine, starting
October 14th. Lost Valley is located at 200 Lost
Valley Road in Auburn.
For additional information on the Mountain of
Terror, call 784-1561 or

have rallied to help with
Amy’s financial needs.
On Saturday, Oct. 22,
there will be a benefit
turkey dinner, silent auction and concert by local
artists to raise money for
Amy. The festivities will
be held at Leavitt Area
High School with the
dinner in the café from
5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will
continue with a 7 p.m.
concert in the Leavitt
Area HS auditorium.

One of the most common questions I’m
asked is, “Why did my
pet get an ear infection
… again?” Unfortunately, recurrent ear infections are one of the
most common health
issues in dogs. The ear
is made up of three parts
– the outer, middle, and
inner ear. Usually an
ear infection refers to an
infection of the outer canal. Occasionally, a severe outer ear infection
can rupture the eardrum
and cause a middle ear
infection. All ears have
low levels of yeast and
bacteria in them normally – they are organisms
that help “clean up” any
debris that makes its
way into the ear. When
the bacterial or yeast
population suddenly increases, an infection is
the result.
We can see recurrent
ear infections for a num-
Courier
The Ears Have It
ber of reasons. Dogs
that like to swim tend
to collect a lot of water in their ears. If this
is not cleaned/dried out
regularly, it provides a
perfect
environment
for organisms to grow.
Dogs with hair in their
ears (e.g. poodles) tend
to collect too much debris. The hair does not
allow debris to escape
easily, providing too
much food for the organisms in the ear and
resulting in an infection.
An easy prevention for
this type of infection is
to have your dog’s ears
“plucked” when they
are groomed to remove
the excess hair.
The most common
cause of recurrent ear
infections is allergies.
Studies have shown that
approximately 25 percent of dogs with allergies show only recurrent
ear infections as a sign.
Dogs and cats can have
food allergies, or envi-
ronmental allergies such
as dust mites and pollen.
If we suspect allergies
as an underlying cause
to your pet’s ear infection, we may talk to
you about allergy testing, diet trials (to see if
we have an allergy to a
particular ingredient), or
medication to manage
the allergies long term.
In cats, a very common cause of ear infections is the ear mite.
Although many dog
owners suspect mites,
this is actually a relatively uncommon cause
of infection in dogs. The
key to treatment for ear
mites is to treat all affected pets in the house
at once – otherwise it
will continue to cycle
through the household.
An ear infection can
be diagnosed with a
physical examination
at the vet’s office. We
often will perform a microscopic exam of ear
swabs (cytology) to see
if the cause is mostly
bacterial, mostly yeast,
or both, so we are able
to select the right type
of medication to treat
the infection.
Although ear infections cannot always
be prevented, the frequency of infections
in problem pets (dogs
that swim, or pets with
allergies) can often be
decreased by cleaning

JAMES BUZZELL
FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE
HOUSE DISTRICT 75
James Buzzell will represent Turner, South Livermore, and
Leeds with energy and integrity.
Jimmy was born and raised in Leeds, graduated from Leavitt,
and is both enthusiastic and a realist about the issues of our
district and state. He believes “the most important job of a
candidate is to listen to the voters”, because “the only way to
achieve meaningful change in this state is through a persistent
grassroots effort on the part of the citizens.” As a pragmatist,
he believes that it is only “by working together can we close the
gap between those with wealth and the political power … and
those without - the greatest divide in America today.”
Jimmy wants young people to have the opportunity to stay in
Maine, or like himself, return after college. We can count on
him to passionately work to attract good jobs to Maine, by supporting high �uality education and training, and to �ight against
increasing property tax burdens, so that living and doing business here is affordable and sustainable.

Let’s Stop Bickering and Get Back To Work for Maine!
The level of civility in politics has been eroding for quite some time now but
what we are now seeing both nationally and here in Maine has crossed the
line. There’s plenty of blame to go around. It’s not the fault of one particular
party, but we need to find our way back to a place where we can
respectfully agree to disagree on issues.
From the time I was old enough to vote I have always been a Republican.
That means I believe in a certain set of core principles like lower taxes; less
government control and interference; more personal accountability;
and taking care of our most vulnerable like the disabled among us, our
seniors and children. During my time serving here in the Maine Legislature
I have met a lot of representatives and senators from the other side of the
aisle who believe in just the opposite. They believe higher taxes and more
government can solve any problem we face. And while I don’t agree with
these people on public policy, I do believe that at the end of the day these
folks, like me, want Maine to succeed. We just have very different ideas on
how to get us there.
But somewhere along the line this process has become much more vicious.
In the past few years since I became a state representative, I’ve been accused
of everything from hating poor people to literally being responsible for
killing people, simply because I disagree with them on public policy. That’s
what politics has become. It’s now so vicious and nasty that the goal
appears to be character assassination over good old-fashioned public
policy debates. Campaigning is now about making an opponent look
unelectable at any cost instead of making you look like the best person for
the job.
But despite the bickering you read about all too often in the newspapers,
we still have managed to get some good things done for the people of Maine.
For example, did you know, in the past six years, Maine’s unemployment
rate has fallen from 9.8% down to 3.4% in February of this year? Did you
know there has been a 25% reduction in personal income tax since 2010?
That the average wage in Maine in has gone from $37,340 in 2010 to
$41,792 in 2015? That the pension reforms passed in 2011 have saved the
state more than $1 billion in unfunded liabilities? Our state’s “Rainy Day
Fund” now has balance of over $100 million, its highest level in decades?
These are just a few of the things we have accomplished together over the
past six years since I first came to Augusta... in spite of all the discourse.
But all we read about in the papers is the bickering and nastiness that goes
on at the Maine State House and all over the country. And where has that
gotten us? We’re now in a place where public policy that either has not been
properly vetted or has been reviewed by legislators and been found to be
dangerous or unconstitutional is on the ballot this November. Most of these
initiatives have been placed on the ballot by special interest groups who
claim that our inability to get along in Augusta has forced them to put
these issues to a vote. The fact is that these ballot questions originated
from bad legislation that was killed in Augusta.
The bottom line is that those of us elected to represent you in Augusta need
to get back to doing our job and stop engaging in petty, partisan squabbles
that only make our job that much more difficult. It’s about respect, plain
and simple. I am hopeful that when we get to the 128th Legislature we can
back to a place where we engage in heated, but civil debate. An atmosphere
where we respect each other’s vote even when we disagree. Where we all are
working toward one common goal; improving the state of Maine.
Thank You,

Empty Bowls Supper
To raise awareness about
hunger and raise funds for
their Hunger Prevention
services, RCAM is hosting an Empty Bowls Supper on Saturday, Nov. 5,
in Wales. Each year, in
November, Empty Bowls
events are held across the
country. Each has a different approach, but the goal
is the same – to increase the
public’s knowledge about
hunger in their local communities.
In Maine, 24 percent of
children and 23 percent of
senior citizens are food insecure. “Food insecurity re-
fers to the lack of access, at
times, to enough food for an
active, healthy life and limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate
foods. Food insecurity may
reflect a household’s need
to make trade-offs between
important basic needs, such
as housing or medical bills,
and purchasing nutritionally
adequate foods.” Feeding
America, 2016 Rural Community Action Ministry
(RCAM) has been providing
homelessness and hunger
prevention services to rural
Mainers since 1970. The
Empty Bowls Supper will
take place at the Wales Presbyterian Church on Rt. 132
in Wales from 4:30-6 p.m.
on Nov. 5. Entrance is $10,
$25 for a family of 5. The
first 50 attendees will choose
their own pottery bowl. All
participants will select from
a delicious assortment of
soups, salads, breads and
desserts. There will also be
a silent auction of beautiful
pottery creations.

Halloween Superstitions Revealed
Halloween is steeped in tradition. 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 superstition 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

thought we would give folks ample time to plan and create for our upcoming events. The Festival
and Auction will be held on December 10th this year at the library and we thought of you because
of your generous donation from the last year.
We hope that you will be able to donate again this year as the money earned will be spent wisely
for books and programs of all genres and for all ages. We appreciate the time and effort put forth
into your creation. Your donation may be dropped off at the library during the hours of business on
Tuesday and Thursdays from 12:00-7:00, Wednesdays from 10:00-2:00 or Saturdays 9:30-12:00. If
it is not possible for you to bring your donation to the library during those hours please feel free to
call Deb Gilbert at 225-6251. We would like the donations by November 5th to give us time to set

EMILY CAIN WORKS FOR MAINE!
Emily Cain knows how hard we work to make ends meet
– and she knows many families are still struggling, even if
Washington politicians say things are getting better.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
In Congress, Emily will:
Oppose foreign trade deals that send our jobs overseas
End tax loopholes that reward companies that outsource Maine jobs
Put Maine workers and families first, not Wall Street interests
Protect our natural resources and preserve our proud hunting, fishing and
outdoor heritage
Lower taxes for working families, just like she did when she worked with
Gov. LePage to pass the largest tax cut in Maine history
If you want to know where Emily Cain stands on an issue, just ask!

This initiative addresses
a vital public safety and
public health issue. Medicines that languish in home
cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse,
and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the
U.S. are alarmingly high, as
are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of
abused prescription drugs
are obtained from family
and friends, including from
the home medicine cabinet.
In addition, Americans are
now advised that their usual methods for disposing of
unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet
or throwing them in the
trash—both pose potential
safety and health hazards.n

The 2017 Project graduation committee is well
into their planning for the

will be the location and
G-Force Entertainment
will provide supplemental
activities. The committee
has also confirmed the hilarious, David Hall, a professional hypnotist and
magician, for the night of
the event.
All of these arrangements, of course, require
extensive
fundraising.
The committee has already been hard at work
selling Leavitt sunglasses
(See below), organizing
themed baskets to raffle
at the Leavitt Craft Fair
(November 12th), and
currently planning a paint
night, more details to
come. Many more fundraising opportunities are
in the pipeline.
Cash donations are ac-
cepted at any time and can
be mailed to: LAHS Project Grad 2017, P.O. Box

your support.

John Bunker To Speak On Apples at Leeds Historical Society
The Leeds Historical
Society is pleased to announce that John Bunker, Maine’s apple expert
will present a program on
Thursday, Nov. 10, at the
Leeds Town Office.
Referred to variously
as an apple “guru” and
“whisperer”, John describes himself as a “fruit
explorer”, searching for
rare and unusual fruit varieties to save and reintroduce in Maine.
John Bunker has been
farming in Maine for more
than 40 years. In 1984 he
started Fedco Trees and
has served on and was past
President of the Board at
the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA). He is
the founder of MOFGA’s
Maine Heritage Orchard.
A graduate of Colby College, John is the author of
“Not Far From the Tree,”
a book outlining the history of apples in Palermo,
Maine.
In his program in Leeds,
John will touch on the history of apples in Maine, his
fruit explorations, the hard
cider industry which is experiencing a widespread
and popular renaissance in
Maine, and the Maine Her-
itage Orchard in Unity.
Attendees who have
their own apple trees are
encouraged to bring fruit
for identification. Apples
picked now can be kept in
a refrigerator in a paper,
not plastic, bag until the
program.
Refreshments
will be served. The program is open to the public
and will be held at 7 p.m.
on November 10th in the
Community Room in the
lower level of the Leeds
Town Office, 8 Community Dr., Leeds. Suggested donation $5.00 FMI
please call Pam Bell at
933-4121. n

battle with cancer. She was

together before Frank’s

age 70. Elsie was a devoted
mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother. She attended as many sporting and

She loved to play cards and
games and shared that love
with her family. In her later
years, traveling to Arizona
