Funny things kids say!
4-year-old great grandson.
All of sudden he yelled,
“Look G.G. Your arm muscles are falling out.”
Guess to a 4-year-old,
when your muscles sag they
seem to be falling out!
– Ann Warner, Bridgton
Maine
I was having a long conversation with a 9-year-old
boy about healthy eating.
We were talking about sugary and fattening foods versus nutritional foods.
Knowing that his grandfather and my mother are
diabetics, I then said, “But
for some of us, eating right
is even more important because of our genes. It’s possible that even if you and I
eat really healthy, exercise,
do everything right, we
could end up with diabetes
because it’s in our genes.”
He looked perplexed, then
reached over and touched a
pair of jeans.
He said, “Because of
these? It’s in my jeans?”
– Linda in Auburn.
My daughter was teaching her 3-year-old daughter
about danger, like stopping
to look both ways when
crossing the street, how to
snuff out fire if her clothes
caught on fire, about strangers, etc. When crossing the
street one day to get the
mail, my daughter put her
daughter to the test. They
stopped at the end of the
driveway, and my daughter asked, “what do we do
now?” Her daughter replied, “Stop, drop and roll.”

I was at my daughter’s
home to pick up my 3-yearold grandson. I said to him,
“You’re my baby.”
He said, “I not a baby.”
To which I said, “You will
always be my baby.”
Again, he responded, “I
not a baby.”
We left and headed to the
store. When I got him out
of his car seat, again I said,
“You’re my baby.”
This time he responded,
“I not a baby. I Anthony
and I can talk!”
– Lucy Sorensen via
email.
One day this summer, I
was sitting outside with my
I was invited to my
nephew’s for dinner one
night. Upon arriving, his
five-year-old daughter was
practicing basketball drills.
She had three of her toys
lined up in the living room.
As she was dribbling, her
eyes were glued to the ball
as she tried her best to maneuver around the toys. At
one point she informed me,
“Auntie Jean, this takes a lot
of constipation!”
– Jean in Monmouth.
It was Christmas time and
the family was gathering at
my parents’ house. As each
group arrived they deposited gifts under the Christmas tree. Each time, my
five-year-old nephew Scott
would do a count of how
many gifts were for him.
Finally, I said, “You
know, Scott, Christmas is a
time for giving, not just for
getting.”
He gave me a strange look
and walked away. Returning a minute later he asked,
“But Auntie Jean, who am I
supposed to forgive?”
– Jean in Monmouth.
A few years ago our sixyear-old grandson spent the
night. Early the next morning he ran into our room
and leaped in between his
grandfather and me and
quickly dropped off to
sleep. I asked him later what
had happened.
He said, “There was
something weird going on
in the kitchen.”
My coffeemaker’s timer
is set for 4:30 a.m. and begins its sputtering and gurgling at that time.
– Carole Richards in
Livermore.
When our boys were lit-
tle we pulled up to the ice
cream shop. I turned around
to ask the boys what they
wanted. The oldest one said
he would like a half-andhalf softserve. The younger
one, who was 3 years old
and always wanted what his
brother was having, looked
at us, shaking his head yes,
and said, in his deep, little
voice, “I have a whole-andwhole!”
– Steve and Bonnie Jones
in Oxford.
After spending time in the
pool with my grandchildren,
I looked at my hands and
noticed that I had wrinkles
from being in the water for
a while. I told my grandson
that I had been in the pool
for a long time and was going to get out of the pool
because I was starting to
get all wrinkly. My 7-yearold grandson looked at
me puzzled and said, “But
Grandma, you’re already all
wrinkly.”
– Louise Stevens, Jay.

Detecting History in Hebron
As vice-president of
the Paris Cape Historical
Society Greg Sherwood
recently spoke to the Hebron Historical Society
on the significance of the
metal detecting hobby on
contributing to the historical data of the area. He
provided several examples of how he was able
to pinpoint or substantiate
specific family locations.
With no structures still
existing he was able to
locate the original building location of a prominent 18th century official
in Alstead N.H. Through
household artifacts detected he discovered specific family engravings to
identify the house location. His thorough search
of the fields formerly
used by the Western
Maine Tuberculosis San-
atorium on Greenwood
Mountain in Hebron has
yielded numerous artifacts dating back to the
time of its namesake John
Greenwood. Greg placed
numerous items from this
site in a special case and
donated it to the town’s
Society for their display.
Greg said that he is
available to assist those
who may have lost some
metallic item. In one case
he was able to locate a
valuable diamond ring
that had dropped off of a
friend’s finger.
He explained the various types of metal detectors available and encouraged the viewers to enjoy Photo: Gregory Sherwood

The Healthy Geezer
By: Fred Cecitti
If you smoke, you owe
it to yourself to quit. And
I believe you have an obligation to try to help others
to quit. I’m doing my part
by offering this unusual series of columns. No scolding or exaggerated scare
tactics. I’m giving you just
the facts in a chain of bulletins.
You can stick these columns on bulletin boards
and refrigerators. I recommend giving them to a
smoker you love.
Here are more:
• Cigarette smokers die
younger than nonsmokers.
Smoking shortens lives by
about 14 years.
• Tobacco use remains the
leading preventable cause
of death in the United
States, causing 443,000
deaths each year.
• Because of exposure to
environmental
tobacco
smoke
(“second-hand
smoke”), an estimated
3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung cancer every year.
• Tobacco use accounts for
about one third of all cancer deaths in the United
States.
• Smoking causes almost
90 percent of lung cancers.
• More than 7 million current and former smokers
suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the name
used to describe both
chronic bronchitis and emphysema. About 85 percent of COPD deaths are
caused by smoking.
• About 80 percent of all
smokers would like to quit.
• It’s never too late to quit.
It doesn’t matter how old
you are or how long you’ve
smoked.
• Within minutes of smoking the last cigarette, the
body begins to restore it-
self. After two weeks, circulation and lung function
improve. A year after quitting, the risk of coronary
heart disease is half that
of a smoker’s. At 10 years,
the lung cancer death rate
is cut in half. At 15 years
after quitting, the risk of
coronary heart disease is
that of a nonsmoker’s.
• Some smokers can just
stop “cold turkey.” Others
need help with drugs and
behavior modification. Relapse rates are the highest
in the first few weeks; they
go down substantially after
about three months.
• One study found that the
greatest reductions in cigarette use were achieved
when smoking became
more expensive and alternative recreational activities were provided.
• Nicotine replacement
therapies (NRTs) are medicines that relieve a smoker’s nicotine withdrawal
symptoms. NRTs are available as patches, gums,
inhalers, nasal sprays, or
lozenges. NRTs should be
used with behavioral modification.
• Bupropion (Zyban) is a
prescription antidepressant
that affects brain chemicals
involved in craving nicotine.
• Varenicline (Chantix)
reduces the pleasurable effects of smoking and helps
reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
If you want to quit smoking and need help, contact
one of the following organizations:
American Cancer Society,
www.cancer.org;
American Heart Association, www.amhrt.org;
American Lung Association, www.lungusa.org;
National Cancer Institute,
www.cancer.gov;
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention Office on
Smoking & Health, www.
cdc.gov/tobacco; Smokefree.gov, www.smokefree.
gov.
If you have used tobacco, you should have
regular oral exams by your
physician or dentist. These
exams will detect changes
that could be cancer or a
precursor of cancer.
Cancer and other conditions of the lung have
the following symptoms:
a new cough, a change
in cough, coughing up
blood, hoarseness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, headaches, chest pain,
loss of appetite, weight
loss, general fatigue, and
repeated respiratory infections. However, many lung
cancers have no apparent
symptoms until they are
advanced.
If you have been a tobacco user or continue to
smoke or chew, it’s critical
that you get regular medical attention.
If you would like to ask
a question, write to fred@

to pronounce the word fore
castle as “folksle?” And
do they steer large vessels
from the bridge, the pilothouse or the wheelhouse?
Regular readers will recall the story we told about
someone from Iowa who
received an express shipment of live Maine lobsters
as a gift. After opening the
box and checking them
out, the person proceeded
to throw them out because
they were all dark brown
not bright red the way they
thought live lobsters were
supposed to be.
We questioned the truth
of the story in a column
and within a week we heard
from a lobster dealer in
Stonington who said he
deals with the problem of
the color of live lobsters all
the time. And yes, the sto-
ries you hear about people
throwing out live lobsters
because they’re not bright
red, are true.

Trivial Things
John McDonald
A few years ago I wrote
a book titled “John McDonald’s Maine Trivia,” and
ever since that book was
published people think my
head is filled with all kinds
of useless information. Yes,
the book is doing well,
thank you, but it generates
lots of email from people
who assume my I can answer their most trivial questions.
Just the other day I got
an email from Richard
in Windham who writes:

your trivia book I thought
you might be able to help
me with the origins of the
nautical words “port” and
“starboard.”
Thanks for the email,
Richard. In fact, I can help
you with the origin of both
those two maritime words.
Many centuries ago, in
order to steer vessels, sailors used an early version of
a rudder that was little more
than a long wooden board
that stuck out on the right,
or the steer-board side of
the vessel. You can imagine
what would happen if you
came up to a dock with this
crude steer-board sticking
out. To avoid any problems
in that area, vessels always
came up to a dock on the
left side, which became
known as the “port” side.
And while we’re on the
subject of watercraft, does
anyone know anything
about where the words
spars, halyards capstans,
and forecastles came from?
And why are we supposed

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

My sister, Lisa Pengel,
also had her aura photograph taken and purchased a report. While her
aura was orange, which is
the sign of an adventurous
soul, my aura was mostly
green which is the sign
of a natural healer. Her

divided among physical,
mental and spiritual energy showing well-balanced energy channels.

Upon graduating from
Harvard in 1792 at the
age of 19 Ladd, of New
Hampshire, seemed destined for success. Though
his parents wanted him to
become a doctor he pursued the shipping industry
and became a Sea Captain
at 20 years old. He earned
a fortune in the mercantile
trade business.
He later turned to farming in Virginia and Florida but gave that up due
to work force issues and
thus went back to the sea
and became successful
once again. But with the
looming onset of the War
of 1812 he moved to his
family’s homestead on
Center Minot Hill. Here
he became a successful
farmer, and had over one
thousand sheep at one
point.
After a meeting with
the president of Bowdoin
College Ladd became
deeply involved with the
anti- war peace movement and soon formed the
“Peace Society of Minot”.
As a devout Christian he
also became a clergyman
which assisted him in promoting his peace initiatives. His efforts gained
notoriety and this led to the
formation of the American Peace Society in 1828
of which he became the
president. He would travel
over the world discussing
peace issues. His writings
earned the attention of
John Quincy Adams and
Daniel Webster. His untiring peace efforts influenced the formation of the
“Congress of Nations”,
the “Court of Nations”,
the “Hague Court” and
the “League of Nations”
which eventually evolved
in to the “United Nations”
in 1945.
A plaque commemorating this famous Peace
Apostle is on a boulder in
front of the Minot Center
Church.
The next Society event
will be a joint meeting
with the Minot Historical
Society at the West Minot
Grange Hall (at the intersection of routes 124 and
119) on 27 Sep. There
will be a pot luck dinner
at 6 PM followed by a 7
PM presentation featuring retired game warden
John Ford and retired state
trooper Mark Nickerson
speaking on the funny
side of their law experiences. The public is invited. n

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

As your vine grows, it
will sprout what are known
as secondary vines off of
the main vine. These secondaries are where the plant
gets much of its energy and
should be nurtured as the
main vine is. However,
off these secondaries will
grow more vines known
as tertiary vines or sucker
vines. These vines rob the
plant of valuable nutrients
and should be pinched off
before they appear.
Your plant can cover up
more than 1,000 square
feet if left to grow unbridled so things need to be
done so your plant doesn’t
become a “jungle” of vines
running every which way.
Establishing a growing pattern for your plant is first.
There are several growing
patterns that growers use
but the most widely used
pattern is the so-called
“Christmas Tree.” Think of
your plant as a Christmas
tree, where the main vine is
the trunk and the secondaries are branches. Train your
vines so that the main vine

runs generally straight out
from the stump and the secondaries grow perpendicular to the main stem. This

Shriners Rally Held at Twitchell’s Airport
The Kora Shriners held
their 5th Annual Charity
Rally in August at Twitchell’s Airport in Turner. It is
a fundraiser for the Shriners’ Hospital for Children.
During the day-long event
Shriner personnel introduced several children who
have been helped by the
medical care at the hospital.
From severely Cleft Palates
to disabling muscle diseases a few of the kids spoke
to the crowd about what
the Shriners have done for
them (free of cost). Their
parents shared the success
stories with much gratitude
to the Shriners.
One little adopted Asian
girl, Elizabeth Robbins,
told the audience, “They
filled my holes.” Elizabeth
has undergone seven surgeries and will likely have
seven more in the future.
A happy, little child, she
could be seen dancing with
her mother, Linda, to the
music of the Motor Booty
Affair during the event.
In addition to music of
the Motor Booty Affair the
Rally featured an escorted
Motor Bike ride and an
ATV ride held by the local Timberlands ATV Club.
There was plenty of food
with a Barbeque Competition (Winner – Team
Humphries) going on. Gritty’s Beer Garden was serving beverages as well as
other vendors selling both
breakfast (by Crazy Cops)
and lunch. A raffle was held
and event T-Shirts were on
sale. A small Cruise-In was
also held featuring some
nice classic cars. All proceeds from the event went
to the Shriners’ Hospital
for Children. n

Paddle Board Yoga:
Quieting the Mind and Enjoying Nature
Jodi Cornelio
Live Long, Live Well
Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA
Nutritionist, Personal Trainer
and Motivational Speaker
[email protected]
Where do I begin? There
are so many benefits to yoga
on a paddleboard. First of all
and more importantly, you
don’t need to be a yogi to
enjoy yoga paddle boarding.
All you need really is a little
bit of guts to get on a paddle
board feeling like the entire
lake might be watching you.
That’s really how I felt the
first time I tried it and now I
don’t even care and neither
does anyone else.
I think my biggest fear
was that I would perform
a pose and lose my bathing
suit. I’ve done that before
on water skis and I’m still
embarrassed to talk about
it. Now, 20 years later, I
am prepared with a more
conservative type of suit
and that has become a non
issue as well.
Okay, there is one more
issue I had. The first time
I tried yoga on a paddle
board I kept drifting into
my neighbor’s dock and
even when I tried to avoid
that and correct my position
I drifted into the outlet to
the lake. I really didn’t like
that. So now I paddle a couple hundred yards off shore
and drop anchor. Problem
solved! Technically, a yogi
would probably call that
cheating as paddleboard
yoga is supposed to be freeing as you drift. For me, the
quest to minimize my stress
is far more freeing and I am
still drifting albeit only 20
yards, not a half mile.
The first time you try
yoga on a paddleboard you
should experiment with
poses that include four
points of your body to remain on the board. By that I
mean your hands and knees
such as we do in the Cat and
Cow pose or in the downward-facing dog position
with your feet and hands
braced on the board. Over
time advance into the more
challenging poses with
three points and then two
points. You will be amazed
as to how quickly this happens if you stick with it.
You will gain strength and
balance more rapidly on a
board. You see the effort of
putting yourself into different
poses while resisting against
the motion of waves activates every muscle in your
body especially your stabilizing muscles, “Your Core.”
For you non-yogi people,
get out on your board and
do some simple stretches.
Touch your toes, bend at
your waist, sit on your board
and twist your spine. All of
these simple stretches on a
board will still cause you to
activate your core muscles
as you will still be resisting
the motion of the waves.
You will feel stretched and
toned in no time.
In ending I will leave
you with this: If you are a
nature lover and have never
tried paddleboard exercise,
try it, for when you combine the yoga practice or
your stretching practice,
with the natural elements of
sunshine, water and fresh
air, you get the added benefits that nature always provides. Do it for your mind
and body!

Painting and Photography
on Display at CMMC
Paintings by Joyce
Coyne and photography
by Gene Bailey are on
display in the main lobby hallway near Central
Maine Medical Center’s
60 High Street entrance
during the month of
September.
Gene Bailey has enjoyed photography for
as long as he can remember, starting with
his little Kodak camera
that took 126 cartridges.
“To take a great shot
you need three things: a
good grasp of the technical aspects of photography, a good eye for
the interesting and unusual, and you just have
to be at the right place
at the right time. When
all three come together,
you end up with something you are proud to
hang on your wall and
share with others,” Bailey says.
Joyce Coyne’s work
is recognizable from
the light and airy style
she has been known for
during her art career.
Having been involved
in art shows and festivals for many years,
she now concentrates on
home and garden commissions and murals.
The watercolors in this
month’s exhibit are original paintings. Her work
has been represented by
galleries in Maine and
Massachusetts.
The artwork on display may be purchased
through the Woman’s
Hospital
Association
Gift Shop, located adjacent to the Main
Lobby. A percentage of
sales proceeds benefits

Auburn Community Concert Band Seeks More Members
The Auburn Community Concert Band has
announced that rehearsals for their upcoming
holiday concert season
will begin on Wednesday,
September 14th. This is
an ideal opportunity for
former high school and
college band members to
once again experience the
enjoyment of performing
for others.
The Auburn band has
a particular need for additional people who play
flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor sax, French
horn, or tuba. Percussion
players who can read music are also welcomed.
Membership requires
minimum conflicts with
the
group’s
weekly
schedule of Wednesday
evening rehearsals and
concerts. Members must
also have their own instruments.
Weekly rehearsals take
place on Wednesday evenings, from 7:00 - 9:00
p.m. at the High Street
Congregational Church,
located between High
and Pleasant Streets, in
Auburn.
The group’s annual
holiday concert is scheduled for Wednesday, December 21st at the Franco
Center in Lewiston. Other Wednesday evening
performances are also
planned for earlier in the
month.
Currently, the ACCB
has 39 members, ranging in age from 16 to 90.
These members collectively represent a total of
12 Maine towns. Before
joining this organization, many of the group’s
volunteer musicians had
last played in a school or
community band some
20 to 30 years ago, according to band director
Milt Simon. “Although
people are often nervous
when they first join us
because of the lapse of
time since they last prac-
ticed, most players regain
their instrumental skills
relatively quickly,” said
Simon.
Simon added that prospective members, who
are unable to join at this
time, will have a second
opportunity during the
band’s “Open Membership Month” in January.
The concert band is
currently celebrating its
35th season. The organization was founded by
Simon back in 1981. For
more information, interested musicians should
call band director Simon
at 782-3917, or visit the
band’s website at www.

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

Hammond Lumber Mills Again are First in Safety
The Northeast Lumber
Manufacturers Association
(NeLMA) announced in
June that it has given Hammond Lumber Company
four awards for outstanding
safety performance during 2016 at Hammond’s
sawmill and planer mill in
Belgrade. The awards are
given to mills operating in
the New England states,
plus New York and Pennsylvania.
A Maine family-owned
business founded in 1953,
Hammond finished first
in Division 2 for the combined operations of both
mills. Divisions are determined by the number of
worker-hours logged during a calendar year. A Division 1 classification represents 1 to 25,000 hours,
while Division 2 represents
25,000 to 50,000 hours.
The
Maine
familyowned business also earned
first place in Division 1
for planer-mill safety, second place in Division 2 for
sawmill safety, and a fourth
honor for achieving an
accident-free year in both
mills.
Perhaps best known today as a building supplier
operating 13 retail stores
throughout Maine, Hammond Lumber began in
1953 as a three-man sawmill, which is still housed
at its original location in
Belgrade. In its 63 years of
continuous operation, the
Hammond mill has seldom
had a lost-time accident
and has won many safety
awards.
According to safety director Bruce Pelletier, there
has not been a lost-time accident in the sawmill since
2004, nor in the planer mill
since 2001.
A safety committee established in 1985 continues
to meet once a month to
identify and correct potential safety hazards on the
job as well as discuss ideas
for keeping everyone in the
company safe during their
off-hours, too. The position
of full-time safety director
was created in 2005 and
has been filled by Pelletier
ever since.
There are currently 12
people working in the sawmill, and 7 in the planer
mill, representing a total of
243 years of experience at
Hammond. Gerald Manley
has worked for the company for 37 years, Craig
Dawes for 36, Cliff Elliott

proach to milling. Nothing
from the log goes to waste.
The bark becomes mulch,
and both sawdust and shavings are used as bedding
for farm animals. The ends
of the boards are used for
crafts, for kindling, and for
fuel to run biomass generators. The “slabwood”
pieces or “edgings” from
the log are fed into a chipper, and the resulting chips
are used to make paper.
The core log may then be
used for Maine Pine Log
Homes, Hammond’s line
of building packages, or it
may be further milled into
dimensional lumber.
“It’s important to us not
to waste anything,” says
Donald Hammond. “There
are only so many trees, so
we don’t want to use more
than we need to. Selective
cutting is practiced on most
of the lots from which the
company buys logs, and
many of these lots are now
in their third cutting. The
result is sustained yield
from the same acreage.
“In fact,” says Hammond, “even though the
production volume of our
mill has increased quite a
bit over the years, the number of acres harvested has
increased very little. You
could say it’s as important
to us to keep our resource
safe as it is to keep our
people safe. We depend on
both.”

Train Travel Around the World
From left, Rocky Mountaineer, Vale of Rheidol Railway, and Glacier Express. Victor Block
For most people, taking a train is one way of
traveling from one place
to another. For others,
the trip itself is the major
attraction. They’re interested in the ride, passing
scenery and sometimes
activities available to passengers. Let’s take a virtual journey aboard several outstanding rail trips
around the country and
the world.
Amtrak
Attractions.
There’s no need to
leave the United States to
enjoy some inviting scenic rides. The California
Zephyr between Chicago
and San Francisco climbs
both the Rocky and snowcapped Sierra Nevada
Mountains.
The Adirondack train is named
for the mountain range
it passes, and also rolls
through New York’s Hudson Valley wine country,
where grapes have been
grown and wine produced
since 1677.
Information about these
and other U.S. trains is
available at Amtrak.com.
Superb Scenery.
Given the beauty of
the soaring Alps mountains in Switzerland, it’s
no surprise that there’s
a choice of trains which
introduce passengers to
their splendor. The Bernina Express crosses the
Alps between Northern
and Southern Europe,
and offers dramatic views
of towering mountains,
castles and, eventually,
the sun-soaked villages of
southern Italy. For more
information, the website
is https://www.rhb.ch/en/
panoramic-trains/bernina-express.
Another shorter but
equally dramatic ride
through the Swiss Alps
is provided by the Glacier Express. Its 8 hour,
180-mile-long trips connect two famous mountain resorts, and climb
to a height of 6,670 feet
above sea level.
Views outside change
with the time of year,
from rolling meadows in
summer to a tapestry of
color during the fall to
the snow-blanketed winter landscape. More information is available at
www.glacierexpress.ch.
The setting is equally
dramatic in Canada’s
towering Rocky Mountains. Rocky Mountaineer trains climb towering
peaks and pass desert-like
canyon terrain.
Oversize windows pro-
vide unobstructed views
of the scenery. More information is available at
rockymountaineer.com.
From Golf Drives to
Game Drives.
Travelers who prefer to
combine activities with
a train ride have a wide
range of alternatives. A
long list of choices is
available to passengers on
the Belmond Royal Scotsman. As it rolls through
the breathtaking countryside of Scotland, they
may disembark to play
golf in the country where
the game was invented,
explore beautiful rural
homes and visit Scotch
whiskey distilleries that
offer tours and tastings.
For more information, log
onto belmond.com/royalscotsman-train.
Train experiences in
Africa can include viewing animals in their natural environment. Trips
aboard the Desert Express in Namibia offer
game drives, cheetah and
leopard viewing at a safari guest farm, and lion
feeding.

Another excursion explores sand dunes up to
1,000 feet high in the
vast Namib Desert, which
stretches more than 1,200
miles along Africa’s Atlantic coast. For more information log on to http://

Old and New.
The Ffestiniog Railway,
one of several “Great Little Trains of Wales,” is the
oldest operating railroad
company in the world. It
was founded in 1832, and
in 1863 became the first
narrow gauge train service to introduce steam
engines – two of which
still are in use.
This group of miniature, narrow gauge
steam-driven trains chugs
through Wales at slow
speeds, so passengers
may enjoy the beauty of
the passing landscape.
The Ffestiniog route traverses the Aberglalsyn
Pass, a deep narrow gorge
which has been called
the most beautiful spot in
the United Kingdom, and

Scam Alert Bulletin Board
While there are plenty of contests
run by reputable organizations, there is
also a lot of fraud. Every day, people
lose thousands of dollars to prize scams.
Know it’s a scam if you have to pay “taxes,” “shipping and handling charges,”
or “processing fees” to get your prize.
Another red ag is if you’re asked for
a credit card number or your checking
account number. Also, if a prize notice
was sent by bulk rate, that means lots of
other people are receiving it, too, so it’s
most likely a scam. Have you “won” a
sweepstakes you don’t remember entering? That’s another warning sign.
Be a fraud ghter! If you can spot a
scam, you can stop a scam.
Report scams to local law enforcement. Contact the AARP Fraud Watch
Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork for more information on fraud
prevention.

The newest addition to
the list of great rail trips
will be the first luxury
sleeper train in South
America, which is scheduled to begin service during 2017. The Belmond
Andean Explorer will
travel along one of the
highest rail routes in the
world, through the Andes Mountains of Peru at
altitudes reaching nearly
16,000 feet. Passengers
will visit remote villages
and view the 10,725 foot
deep Cotahuasi Canyon. More information
is available at www.belmond.com/belmond-andean-explorer.
Short and Long.
Even a train trip of only
11 miles can offer something special. Since 1902,
the narrow gauge Vale of
Rheidol train in Wales has
been transporting passengers through some of the
finest scenery in Britain.
As the cars makes a se-
ries of twists and turns,
views outside change
from open fields to ancient woodlands to rugged mountains. For more
information log onto rheidolrailway.co.uk.
In contrast with the tiny
Vale of Rheidol track is
the longest single-service
train ride in the world.
The Trans-Siberian Railway covers 5,770 miles
and passes through eight
time zones as it connects
Russia’s east and west.
Depending upon which
itinerary they select, passengers may stop at cities
along the route, including
the capital of Mongolia,
have a private viewing
of the Kremlin and take
a class in cooking traditional Russian dishes.
Among companies with
which people may arrange Trans-Siberian trips
is Golden Eagle Luxury
Trains at luxurytrainclub.

Danielle Does DIY: Spray Paint Art?
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 name is Danielle
Pushard Emery. I love
crafts and artistic challenges. For my First DIY,
(Do It Yourself) I chose a
pin. Pinterest is a website
that lets you organize and
bookmark creative ideas,
or just things you would
like to have someday
(check out my Pinterest
page just search DaniellePushard).
Warning: must be outside for this pin. When
I did this pin, the wind
died down and it was
hot. Those two combined
equals Danielle getting
sick from fumes! I was
even outside too. If you
decide to do this, a mask
is a must.
This was the pin that
won the vote on Facebook
with an astounding five,
that’s right, FIVE likes.
I went from the picture
on this one and it went
pretty well. As you can
see, you plop your leaves
on the paper and you simply Spray paint over, and
BOOM art.
I got spray paint, canvas
and fake plants all at the
wonderful Lobby of Hobbies. (Hobby Lobby)
They even had these
tiny little bottles of spray
paint, perfect for what I
needed. I got the Krylon
short Cuts Hobby/Craft
paint in 5 different colors. I got orange, white,
silver, bronze, and purple.
The canvas was the same
kind as the last DIY 8X10
acrylic canvas. There was
soooo much to choose
from with all the fake
plants, so I just got some
Table of all things needed
for Pin
fall leaves and this weird
Christmas fern thing... (It
was on sale, so I needed
it).
I started off by pulling
the leaves I needed, and
placing them how I wanted on the canvas. I then
chose the color I wanted
to use first which was orange. I was going for a fall
theme with the first one. I
recommend figuring out
a way to get the leaves
to stay, so they don’t fly
off from the force of the
paint. I learned the hard
way. The leaves went flying and I decided against
the smaller leaves as pictured.
Attempt two was okay,
just got spray paint on my
free hand that was holding
the leaves... I recommend
using small pieces of tape.
Don’t use your fingers
unless you want colorful
hands.
After I got the first color
of orange as some of the
base layer, I let that dry
for a minute. I then put
the leaves as best I could,
back on the imprint and
sprayed white over to get
it to pop. I did it a couple
times with the orange and
white, until I got the desired effect.
On the Sides I used the
White Christmas fern and
sprayed the bronze color
to get the branch effect. I
personally think it came
out really cool.
For the second painting
I sprayed a layer of silver,
I let that dry while I got
some clean non tainted hot
air into my lungs. I simply
placed the fern over the
top. I was able to just hold
the end of the fake plant
and spray without having
to hold it down. That was
the easiest one to do and it
came out awesome if I do
say so myself.
I’m giving this pin 4.5
stars. It was very Doable,
BUT do it out side with a
mask. They look very nice
in my living room. Check

want to see me try next!n

Don’t Breath - Movie Review
Lucas Allen
At this point, the homeinvasion thriller has been
done to death. No matter if its in theaters or on
home viewing, the plot
structure is always the
same. Burglars invade
a house and the victims
fight back, and it becomes
much too predictable.
But now we have Dont
Breathe that takes such a
formula and twists around
into an intense horror
film. After watching this
movie, you’ll never ever
want to steal from someone’s house especially if
the owner has some tricks
up their sleeve.
Rocky (Jane Levey),
her boyfriend Money
(Daniel Zovatto), and best
friend Alex (Dylan Minnette) are young thieves
living in the slums of
Detroit. They broke into
homes of better economic
owners and steal enough
money to make something
better for themselves including Rocky who wants
to move with her little
sister to California to get
away from their abusive
mother. Their latest target
is a reclusive old man they
called The Blind Man
(Stephen Lang), who is an
ex-Gulf War veteran who
lost his daughter in a car
accident and got paid off
$300,000.
With their plan in place,
the three of them easily
break into the manâ€™s
house including managing to turn off the house’s
security system. But what
they didn’t count on was
the old man’s resilience
to fight back against them.
With Money the first to
take the bullet, Rocky and
Alex soon find themselves
in a cat-&-mouse game
trying not to get detected
by The Blind Man’s training to use his other senses.
But when they try to
hide in the basement, they
will discover something
more shocking than they
ever expected.
It’s hard to believe that
this film is directed by
Fede Alvarez the man
behind the 2013 remake
of Sam Raimi’s The Evil
Dead. Yes that film was a
messy, sloppy, and downright gory horror film, but
the director shows promise with what he can make
out of a pretty low budget.
Fortunately, he improves
upon it 100 times more by
taking the tired-old homeinvasion plot and twist it
up into something fresh
and different. He’s also
good at creating tension
out of a simple situation
gone wrong.
It’s certainly intense
and pretty scary at times,
but it’s the characters is
what comes first. You
understand each of their
needs and motivations especially when things hit
a breaking point. Though
The Blind Man is supposed to be the villain,
you’ll feel sorry for what
he went through to get to
that point which makes
the shocking revelations
all the more palpable. Plus
despite taking a predictable route with the last act,
the atmosphere and dread
remains strong through-
out that horror fans everywhere will enjoy.
For a small cast, the
actors do plenty of solid
work doing well with their
scenes. But while Minnette and Zovatto were
fine for the most part,
Levey delivers a strong
performance as a thief
with a good heart. But
letâ€™s not forget the
real star of the show being Lang as the supposed
victim turned ruthless
killer. Heâ€™s both scary
and sympathetic, which
is pretty lacking in horror
movies these days.
It may be too intense
for everybody, but those
looking for a good horror film will find Don’t
Breathe a truly satisfying
experience.
Alvarez not only made
a way better movie than
his last one, but this movie’s success will give him
more credible films of this
kind that aren’t remakes.
THE MOVIE’S RATING: R (for terror, violence, disturbing content,
and language including
sexual references)
THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.5 Stars (Out of
Four) n
Auditions - The Man Who Came to Dinner
Cold readings from
the script by George S.
Kaufman and Moss Hart
directed by Jenny Benjamin Rider
Sheridan Whiteside,
having dined at the home
of the Stanleys, slips on
their doorstep, breaking
his hip. A tumultuous six
weeks of confinement
follow. The Stanley living room is monopolized
by the irascible invalid;
ex-convicts are invited to
meals; and transatlantic
calls bring a $784 phone
bill.
The arrival of strange
gifts from his friends
further destroys domestic tranquility. It would
take a stoical housewife
to harbor penguins in her
library, an octopus in her
cellar, and 10,000 cockroaches in her kitchen.
When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with
the reporter, Bert Jefferson, Whiteside summons
a glamorous actress, Lorraine, to win the affections of the young man.

The story involves the

Poirot arrives just a few

is missing. It is now up
to Poirot and his trusted
sidekick, Captain Hastings, to solve the case,
after many twists and

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

You may have an artist lurking inside you just
waiting to be tapped (Tip: Never think you are
too old to reinvent yourself!)

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

She was great at helping us find that fine line
that he liked and I liked,
and keeping us both on
track…and still married!”
The Michaud kitchen, along with one in

by Hardy, will be featured on the Eastern
