Boy Scout Fall Adventure Camporee
The total population
in Caratunk is 65. On
the weekend of October
1, that number grew by
more than 100 as Scouts
from all over Maine descended on the quiet Somerset County town for the
Boy Scout Fall Camporee
held at Adventure Bound.
Scouts from Augusta,
Farmington,
Sidney,
Bangor, Unity, and Jackman spent the weekend
challenging themselves
with White Water Rafting, hiking five miles
through the Appalachian
Trail, rock climbing, playing sports, pulling them-
selves hand over hand in
the indoor climbing wall,
learning about nature, and
visiting scenic spots like
Moxie Falls.
“This was a great experience for our Scouts,”
Troop 401 Scoutmaster
Ryan Poulin of Sidney
said. “The program was
varied and challenging
and fun! The Scouts in
my troop were exhausted
but happy after the experience.” This was the last
weekened of operation for
Adventure Bound and the
event was organized by
Karla Talpey of Jackman.
Scouts from as far away
as Bangor, Unity and
Farmington donned wet
suits to ride the rapids
of the Kennebec River.
Scouts in Augusta met
through hikers on the
Appalachian Trail who
had begun their journey
in April in Georgia and
were close to their goal of
reaching Mt Katahdin.
Scouts who stayed closer to camp learned about
nature, saw their tracks
and had fun with various
sports and swimming. “It
was chilly but the hot tub
helped,” Talpey said with
a smile. n

Funny things kids say!
Years ago, my 3-year-old
niece Brianna came running into the laundry room,
phone in hand, yelling,
“Momma, Momma, it’s
Millie Importure, it’s Millie
Importure!”
My sister knew no one
named Millie and when she
got on the phone, no one
was there. 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.
Back in 2003 our daughter and her husband and
4-year-old son lived with
us in our farmhouse. During a thunderstorm with
heavy rain, we lost power
in the middle of the night.
Out in the country, when
you lose power, it is dark!
A louc clap of thunder
woke up our grandson who
then yelled for his father.
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.”

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.
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, how
come you still have your
ear plugs in?”
– Barb in Rumford.
My grandson was cooking with me when he asked,
“Nana, do you always make
everything from Scotch?”
“No! No! Do you mean

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.

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!

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.

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.”

Friday Night Under the Lights
Nutshell
Reviewed by: Shane
Billings, Adult Services
Librarian, Bailey Library,
Winthrop.
The hits don’t stop coming for Ian McEwan, who
has knocked out another
page turner with “Nutshell,” a loose homage
to “Hamlet.” The narrator of this short novel is
an unborn baby, reporting
Page 3
on a murder plot involving his parents and uncle.
McEwan is surely one of
our greatest living writers,
with a shelf full of prestigious awards to prove it.
His books are eloquently
written, although his verbose style can take some
getting used to. Somehow,
though, what could be difficult is just the opposite
here: an easy pleasure,
even as he is one of a small
handful of authors who
consistently sends you to
the dictionary. His plots
are almost always first-rate
and well constructed. I admit to being skeptical at
first, of this novel’s narrative device, but he pulls it
off wholeheartedly. A good
author should be able to do
as much with 200 pages as
with 500. And McEwan
certainly does. n

Communication
John McDonald
Just when you think cell
phone antics couldn’t get
any goofier you see something involving cell phones
that’s goofier than the last.
I was walking down a residential Portland street the
other day and saw a woman
wrestling furiously with
several shopping bags and
her cell phone. What was
so vital that she had to talk
while trying not to dump her
bags all over the ground?
Well, she was explaining
to the person on the other
end that she was taking her
shopping bags out of the car
and getting ready to go into
her apartment.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I
think this was information
that the woman could have
kept to herself until later.
People used to be able to
take shopping bags out of
the car and bring them into
the house without feeling
the need to share the whole
experience.
The cell phone incident
reminded me of years ago
when I experimented with a
few communication devices
of my own.
One afternoon when I was
a kid my friend Neil and I
spent several hours making
what today might be called
“a dual-station, single purpose communication system.” It was a neat walkietalkie we saw in “Boy’s
Life” magazine. According
to the article and simple diagram, all we needed to make
our own device was a long
piece of string and two Birdseye orange juice cans. The
article did, indeed, specify
“Birdseye” cans, but then
added that the cans of other
brands may also be used.
After getting our mate-
rials together we ran the
high-tech string between
our separate locations in my
yard - a little over 100-feet
- and used a state-of-the-art
six penny nail to poke a hole
in the end of each can. We
then threaded the ends of the
string through the holes and
tied a fat knot in each end of
the string to prevent it from
slipping out of the hole.
Once the string was tightly
stretched between our locations and the Birdseye cans
were securely in place we
tried to talk back and forth.
We must have been way
ahead of our time because,
for the rest of the afternoon,
we kept yelling into the
Birdseye can, “Can you hear
me now?” just like that annoying guy in those old cell
phone service commercials.
The next day Neil called
me on the phone and said
he wanted to call me on the
Birdseye walkie-talkie. He
wanted me to go outside in
my yard so we could resume
our experiments with our
Birdseye cans. It was the
only time I ever had a call
holding on a juice can.
For the next several weeks
Neil and I experimented with
our communication system.
We made a shorter version and used wire instead
of string and that worked
pretty well. Eventually we
gave up and just called each
other on the phone when we
wanted to talk. It was a lot
easier. Come to think of it,
lots of things were easier
back then.
I’m old enough to remember when the phone rang
and if you were there you
answered it? If you weren’t
there, it rang until the caller
gave up. Simple.
Then someone invented
the answering machine
and before long it seemed
like everyone had one and
in an attempt to solve one
problem - missing phone
calls - more problems were
hatched - like not missing
phone calls.
We’ve all heard the messages:
“Hello,
you’ve
reached the home of Bobby
and Barbara Schlahbotnik
and all the little Schlahbotniks. We can’t come to the
phone right now but if you
leave a name and number preferably your telephone
number - we’ll get back
to you as just soon as possible.”
With an answering machine you would never
miss another phone call, not
even those annoying calls
that you wanted to miss. A
whole new set of rules and
practices developed around
the telephone. If there was
someone you had to call but
didn’t want to talk to, you
could call them when you
knew they weren’t there and
leave a vague message: “It’s
me and I guess you’re not
there so I guess I’ll just say
I’m sorry I missed you and
try to call me when you get
back.” Then it was their turn
to try and reach you. This
childish game of avoidance
became known as “phone
tag.”
Then came the cell phone.
And as we all know, things
are worse now than ever and
there’s no place to hide.
Just once I’d like to have
someone say, “John, you
have an important call holding on your Birdseye can.”

Critter Chatter - Mange!
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, sebor-
rhea (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 become
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 removed
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 tempera-
tures. 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.

Bailey Library to Host Susan Poulin
The Bailey Public Library in downtown Winthrop will host actress
and writer Susan Poulin at
6:30pm on Tuesday, October 25th. Poulin will be
reading from and discussing her new satirical selfhelp book, “The Sweet
Life: Ida LeClair’s Guide
to Love and Marriage.”
The event is part of the
ongoing Winthrop Lakes
Region Forum sponsored
by the Winthrop Public
Library Foundation and
Town of Winthrop.
Pouiln is best known
for her live performances,
including the play “Ida:
Woman Who Runs with
the Moose,” for which
she won Seacoast Media
Group’s Spotlight on the
Arts Award for Best Play
and Best Actress. Poulin’s
literary character and alter ego “Ida LeClair” is a
lifelong resident of the fictional western Maine town
of Mahoosuc Mills, where
she draws on her small
town Maine experiences
to offer satirical guidance
on topics ranging from the
death of a spouse and dating after divorce, to physical fitness and housecleaning.
Poulin was born in Jackman, the daughter of a
schoolteacher and an auto
parts store owner. After
graduating from Westbrook High School, she
studied theater at the University of Southern Maine.
Her experiences at USM
in the 1980s led to the
creation of the Downeast
Theater Collective, a
three-actor team that performed at the old Odd
Fellows Hall in Portland.
Eventually she began performing original material
Foliage Season is Upon Us in Maine
at the Pontine Movement
Theatre in Portsmouth,
before forming Poolyle
Productions and creating
the Ida LeClair alter ego,
drawing on her Maine and
Franco-American roots.
The event is free and
open to the public. Copies of Poulin’s books will
be available for sale at the
event. For more information, visit baileylibrary.

Keeping Fitness Pace with the Weather
Jodi Cornelio
Live Long, Live Well
Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA
Nutritionist, Personal Trainer
and Motivational Speaker
[email protected]
Don’t slowdown your
activity level just because
the weather is changing.
It is so easy to hibernate
when the days start getting
shorter and the weather
cooler. Most of us are much
more active in the warm
sunny days of summer.
Golfing, biking, hiking,
boating, yardwork and just
doing outdoor activities
has whipped us into shape
and now we are faced with
the chilly nights and days
or Autumn. Hmmm, what
to do? Let’s keep all those
healthy fitness gains you
made this summer. Change
with the weather instead of
hibernating. When playing
9 holes of golf at the end
of the day is no longer an
option. Bundle up and take
a brisk walk but make sure
it at least 2 miles. That’s
what it will take to substitute the exercise you get
on the golf course. If safety is a concern of yours,
many of the local schools
will allow you to walk inside in their gymnasiums
when not in use. The mall
is also a good option for
a few walking laps at the
end of your day. You can
always join one of the local Y’s or gyms and enjoy
the social groups, exercise
classes and exercise equipment that these facilities
provide. Still not ready
to pull your fitness routine
inside? Well one of my favorite things to do this time
of year is hike and explore
Maine’s Parks. Hiking in
the Fall Foliage is fabulous
right now. Try making the
time to explore these parks
and take advantage of the
hiking opportunities. Here
are a few of my favor-
ite places. Many of these
Parks have hikes and special events going on in the
month of October.
•Mt. Battie in Camden
Hill State Park in Camden
•Lily Bay State Park in
Greenville – “they have
a special hike around
Moosehead Lake on Oct
10th.”
•Wolfe’s Neck state Park
in Freeport – “they have a
special event hike on Oct
10th”
•Range Pond State Park
in Poland – “they have a
special event Hike on Oct
15th”
•Mt Blue State Park and
Tumbledown Mountain –
in Weld
•Acadia National State
Park Many hiking trials
which are safe and clean
•Bigelow Range in
Western Maine
•Gulf Hagas in the North
Maine Woods
•Saddleback and Kennebago Mt. in Rangeley
I hope you take advantage of some of these autumn foliage hikes and enjoy the views and stay fit.

Downeast Hatchery Suffers “Trout Crash”
V. Paul Reynolds
Plagued by low water at
West Grand Lake and rising
lake water temperatures of
the intake water at the Grand
Lake Stream fish hatchery,
the state wound up losing an
estimated 20,000 brook trout
fry at the hatchery over the
past few weeks.
According to Todd Langevin, Superintendent of
Hatcheries in Augusta, the
loss, while significant, should
“not impact the state’s overall
stocking program.” Langevin
says that in the state’s annual
stocking plans there are built
in buffers for such sudden
losses.
The fish that were lost were
close to fingerling size and
would have been stocked late
this fall. Although this was the
largest “trout crash” in recent
years at the Downeast hatchery, some hatchery trout were
lost in 2008 and 2012 due to
excessively warm lake water
being taken from the West
Grand Lake intake source.
Langevin says that there
have been no other significant
water temperature issues at
the state’s other trout hatcheries.
When asked if there was
a plan in the works to mitigate the water temperature
issue, the hatcheries director indicated that there was
a plan on the drawing boards
to extend the lake intake pipe
into deeper water in search
of more suitable water temperatures. Projected cost for
extending the intake pipe to
deeper water is about a million dollars. The state’s annual budget for its stocking and
hatchery program is in excess
of three million dollars.
Estimated cost of this fall’s
trout fry loss is in the neighborhood of $8,000.00
****The man who works
on my always-in-the-shop
outboard motor never stops
grumbling about how ethanol
gasoline raises havoc with
small engines. Another man
I know, who is more engine
savvy than I, had been purchasing ethanol-free aviation
gas at a small airport. He paid
more, but was willing to pony
up some extra cash to keep
his engines running trouble
free. The state purportedly
has put a stop to that.
My outboard man tipped
me off to where I could buy
ethanol-free gas for my outboard. After some searching,
I found the energy company
that sells ethanol-free gas.
The woman at the counter
said that she would sell me
the ethanol-free gas, but first
it would be neccessary for
me to fill out and sign a form,
which was a waiver absolv-
6WHYH5:LWNLQ0'
3HWHU&.RKOHU0'
ing the seller of any “liability.” My jaw dropped. “This is
a joke, right?” I queried. The
waiver ordered me to swear
that I would not burn the ethanol-free gas in any “vehicle.”
“This is dumb!” said I.
“Tell us about it,” she said
with a smile. As it turned out
the traditional gas was priced
almost double the going
pump price for the corn-fed
fuel. (Because of Maine law
the energy dealer can only
obtain ethanol-free gas by
bringing it down from Canada). I shook my head and
walked out. A few days later,
right on cue, I took my rough
- running outboard back to
the shop.
In the Florida Keys you
can buy ethanol-free gas right
at the pump, for a few cents
more. Most boaters patronize
these gas stations regularly.
Sometimes I think that
Maine, when it comes to state
government and its unrelenting nannying of its citizenry,
is just plain out to lunch. I
can remember when life in
Maine was a lot less complicated.

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 easily. 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
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
chosen from Pinterest. If
you would like to see me
do a project that you have
found on Pinterest, go
ahead 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
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
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 painting 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-anda-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

OCTOBER READER RECIPE
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust
Add something new to your
pumpkin repertoire
Pumpkins are readily available
in fall, when people carve jacko’-lanterns out of pumpkins for
Halloween or serve up pumpkin
pie after a hearty Thanksgiving
dinner. But people who are unsatisfied with plain old pumpkin pie
can add something new to their
repertoire this fall by cooking up
the following recipe for “Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap
Crust,” courtesy of Lori Longbotham’s “Luscious Creamy Desserts” (Chronicle Books).
Serves 8 to 10
Crust
1½ cups gingersnap cookie
crumbs
½ cup finely chopped
hazelnuts
6 tablespoons unsalted
butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
Filling
1½ pounds cream cheese,
at room temperature
½ cup packed light
brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1½tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin
pie spice
1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
purée (not pumpkin pie mix)
½ cup créme frache,
homemade (see below) or
store-bought, or sour
cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
extract
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Lightly butter an 8- or 81/2-inch
springform pan.
2. To make the crust: Stir together all of the ingredients in a
medium bowl until the crumbs
are moistened. Press the mixture
over the bottom and up the sides
of the pan. Bake the crust for 10
minutes. Let cool completely on a
wire rack. Increase the oven temperature to 425 F.
3. To make the filling: With an
electric mixer on medium speed,
beat the cream cheese, brown
sugar and granulated sugar in a
large deep bowl until light and
fluffy. Beat in the eggs and then
the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
the flour and pumpkin pie spice
and beat on low speed until just
combined. Add the pumpkin purée, créme fraîche and vanilla, and
beat until just combined. Pour the
filling into the shell.
4. Place the cheesecake on a
baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 F and continue baking
for 1 hour.
5. Turn the oven off and let
the cheesecake cool in the oven
for 21/2 hours. Then transfer to
a wire rack and let cool to room
temperature. Refrigerate, tightly
covered, for at least 10 hours, until thoroughly chilled and set, or
for up to 2 days.
6. To serve, run a knife around
the side of the cheesecake and
remove the side of the pan. Serve
slightly chilled or at room temperature, cut into thin wedges with a
sharp knife dipped into hot water
and wiped dry after each cut.
Créme Fraîche
Makes about 1/2 cup
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup créme fraîche or sour
cream with live cultures
Pour the cream into a glass jar
with a tight-fitting lid and spoon
in the créme fraîche. Let sit on the
counter, with the lid slightly ajar,
until the mixture thickens, from
4 to 24 hours, depending on the
weather. Refrigerate, tightly covered, until ready to use.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES:
We Heard This Story, But is it True?
By Denise Scammon
TPI Production Leader
Do you like a good mystery? October is a great
month to appreciate and
talk about folklore and mysteries. In the news world,
we base our stories on fact.
How can you tell fact from
fiction if the mystery has
been passed down for generations and no physical
evidence has been found to
refute or establish the mystery as fact?
We did a bit of browsing
of some of the well-known
folklore stories circulating in various communities throughout Maine. We
would love to hear more
about these mysteries.
If you, dear reader, want
to participate in this discussion of folklore and mysteries, type up and email your
mystery or your response
to a mystery published in
this “Unsolved Mysteries”
column, to [email protected] and put
MYSTERY in the subject
line. We contacted a few
people we thought might
want to know what we’ve
heard or read about a location and have included any
responses we have received.
We look forward to hearing from you and learning
more about the ghosts, spirits, paranormal activity, and
false stories that abound in
your world.

ROCKLAND: We heard
about a young woman who
disappeared from Rockland on Halloween in 1940.
The stepfather confessed
to killing her. The stepfather dismembered his stepdaughter’s body and put the
pieces in burlap bags. Five
bags were found but none
contained her head. True or
false?
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?

who lived in that home visits the school. One time she

WILTON: The Wilton
Farm and Home Museum
is home to ghosts that touch
visitors, yell and play musical instruments. True or
false?
RESPONSE:
Pam
Brown of the Wilton Farm
and Home Museum called
to give us the facts. As far as
ghosts “touching” visitors,
sensitive visitors may feel
a cold draft or feel a spirit
go right through their body,
but no touching like a tap
on the shoulder. No yelling
has been heard but there is
believed to be the ghost of a
grouchy old man in the military room who hates women
and apparently scares the
little boy and girl ghosts
into staying on a different
floor away from him. Visitors believe they have heard
a ghost banging the drum.
Pam has been present for
various paranormal investigations and although the
investigations are held separately and the results are not
shared among the investigators, the results of the investigations are almost always
the same as to what spirits
dwell in the museum. Pam
has watched the monitor
set up by the investigators
and says that watching the
monitor for two hours is like
watching paint dry. There
is not much activity on the
monitor although she has
seen a lot of orbs zip across
the room. Occasionally a
door will open and close on
its own. She had a lot more
to save which we will save
for a future column.

of some of the more wellknown mysteries that we’ve

Seal Out Tooth Decay in Your Child & Give
Them A Healthy Smile for Life!
By Rebecca Berry,
DMD of Lakes Region
Dental Center
Has your dentist or
dental hygienist recommended sealants for your
child but you aren’t sure
if you should go ahead
with it? Sealants prevent
cavities so they are a
better choice than drilling and filling damaged
teeth. Below are some
very common questions
parents have about dental
sealants.
A common question is
what are sealants?
Sealants are thin, plastic coatings painted on
the chewing surfaces of
back teeth. Getting sealants put on are simple
and painless (no shots
are needed!). Sealants are
painted on as a liquid and
quickly harden to form a
shield over the tooth.
Who should get
sealants?
Children should get
sealants on their permanent molars as soon as the
teeth come in - BEFORE
cavities start. 1st molars
(commonly called 6 year
molars) come in between
the ages of 5-7 and 2nd
molars (commonly called
and food. Preventing
cavities when your child
is young will put them
on track for a lifetime of
dental health.
Why do back teeth
get cavities?
The chewing surfaces
of back teeth are rough
and uneven because
they have small pits and
grooves. Food and germs
can get stuck in the pits
and grooves and stay
there for a long time because toothbrush bristles
cannot brush them away.
Sealants make the surface smooth so food and
germs do not accumulate
as easily.
How long do
sealants last?
Sealants are semi-permanent and can last up
to 5 or 10 years, but they
need to be checked at
regular dental checkups
to make sure they are not
chipped or worn away.
Your dentist or dental hygienist can repair sealants
if needed by adding more
material.
Besides sealants, are
there other ways to
prevent cavities?
Yes! No one is destined
to get cavities. Here are a
12 year molars) come in
between the ages of 1113. Every child is different and the exact age
when they erupt in the
mouth will vary between
children. Your dentist will
be able to recommend the
best time for your child to
have sealants placed.
Why get sealants?

back teeth have grooves
on the chewing surfaces
they need extra protection. Sealants cover the
chewing surfaces of back
teeth to keep out germs
few simple steps you can
take:
•Using fluoride toothpaste and drinking fluoridated water
•Brush twice a day and
floss once a day
•Skip the sugar! Bacteria in our mouths eat the
sugar in our food and put
out acid that breaks down
teeth causing cavities.
Sugary foods should be
a treat and not a regular
part of your child’s diet.
•Regular dental checkups and cleanings.
The biggest benefit of
sealants is preventing
cavities giving your child
a lifetime of good oral
health and a beautiful
smile they will be proud
to show off. Preventing
cavities with sealants is
only not effective (according the ADA sealants
reduce the risk of cavities
by 80%) but they are also
cost effective. The cost of
a sealant is significantly
less than the cost of having a filling PLUS it helps
prevent the need for fillings in the future. This is
one case where the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure” rings true. n

Over Half of the State’s Population is Saving Millions on
Financial Services… Are You One of Them?
Nearly 680,000 Mainers are saving money every year just by choosing
to be a member at one of
Maine’s Credit Unions.
But just how much money
are they saving? Based on
previous studies, Maine
credit union members collectively save $40 million
a year by belonging to a
credit union. These collective savings are put together from earnings that
are returned to members
in lower loan rates, higher
interest rates on deposits,
and lower fees – it’s no
wonder more than half of
Maine’s population belongs to a credit union!
Maine Credit Union
League President John
Murphy said that the credit unions’ ability to focus
on saving member’s money make credit unions an
increasingly viable and
valuable option for Maine
people. “The credit union
philosophy of putting the
interests of members first
continues to highlight the
difference between credit

International Credit Union Week
at New Dimensions FCU
New Dimensions Federal Credit Union (NDFCU) is celebrating
International Credit Union week at a very special time this year ~
it also happens to be our 60th Anniversary! NDFCU is a memberowned, financial cooperative that offers a full array of personal
and commercial banking services to meet your financial needs.
Why choose NDFCU? At NDFCU you are guaranteed to
receive the highest level of personalized service you would expect
from a small local institution, but with all the conveniences you
would find at a large institution. By being a financial cooperative,
the credit union can offer competitive rates on savings and loans,
because profits are returned to its owners — You!
What makes us uniquely different at NDFCU is that we
believe in the concept of “People Helping People”. For example,
Financial Literacy is an important service we offer. We have
specially trained staff to assist you in developing a basic budget,
help you learn to manage your finances, and allow you to make
the most of your hard-earned money.
Additionally, we offer a variety of products and services to
assist you with your future financial security. Today credit scores
are used to price loans while landlords and employers are looking
to judge an individual’s character. Having insufficient or poor
credit can prevent you from obtaining loans, getting a job, or
renting an apartment. At NDFCU, we believe it is never too early
or too late to begin building or rebuilding credit. Let us show you
how.

Nemacolin
Indian Tribe pennants
Victor Block
In 1740, a frontiersman
in England’s American
colonies named Thomas
Cresap was given a challenging task. He was asked
to lay out an east-to-west
trail through a narrow gap
in the line of rugged Allegheny Mountains that runs
between present-day Maryland and Pennsylvania. The
goal was to create a direct
route so people heading toward the frontier would not
have to travel hundreds of
miles to the north or south
to get around the forbidding
ridgeline.
Cresap asked a chieftain
of the Turtle Tribe of Delaware Indians named Nemacolin, who was familiar
with the area, to help establish the path, following one
that had long been used by
indigenous people in precolonial America.
A decade later, the trail
that the two men created
was upgraded during the
French and Indian War so
military equipment could be
moved over it, and also to
handle Conestoga wagons
and stage coaches carrying
settlers to the lands west
of the mountains. Given its
importance, the route was
named the National Highway
by Congress, then subsequently was designated as
U.S Route 40.
In addition, the road has
another, less formal name.
In memory of the Native
American who was instrumental in establishing the
original route, it became
known as Nemacolin’s
Trail. Nowhere is the name
of that Indian chief more
highly honored than at a
world-class resort located
not far from the original precolonial path and
present-day Route 40.
Staying there becomes part
of the travel experience
which brings to life that
chapter of early American
history.
The Nemacolin Woodlands Resort offers the full
range of amenities and activities that one expects at a
vacation destination which
holds the prestigious AAA
Five-Diamond rating. In
addition it has a number
of surprises, such as a Jeep
off-road driving experience,
collections of rare automobiles and vintage airplanes,
and a virtual A (archery) to
Z (zoo) alphabet of alternatives which range from the
unusual to the unique.
Another enticing feature
is how the property pays
homage to Native American lore in many more ways
than its name alone. Guests
are immersed in a wealth of
Indian culture and tradition
throughout the buildings
and across the rolling hills
of the sprawling 2,000-acre
setting.
The introduction begins
with the assortment of art
and artifacts that fills the
buildings and spills outside
across the rolling hills. Resort owner Joseph A. Hardy
III, who operates the property with his daughter Maggie, has built a museumquality collection of about
1,000 items that is valued at
$45 million. So extensive
and varied are the pieces
