Little Sophia Asselin was the local ambassador for the March of Dimes auction event
on October 17 in Auburn. Her father, Rich, is talking with WMTW weatherman, Matt
Zidel while Sophia is looking at Matt’s father. Zidel was the emcee of the Signature
Chef’s Auction.
Wine Bar, Jon Cunningham of Gritty McDuff’s, Austin
Perreault of Central Maine Community College and Jill
Drew of The Winery Baker. Guests were able to visit the
food tables during the silent auction part of the evening.
Before the Live Auction began guests heard from the
various March of Dimes staff and the Ambassadors and
their families. The speakers shared the March of Dimes
mission and what its efforts in the care of premature babies
meant to the children and parents. Local event Ambassador Sophia Asselin, a cute, little toddler, was there with
her parents Rich and Stephanie Asselin. Adding a special
touch to the event was a visit from 7-year old National
Ambassador, Aidan Lamothe from Manchester, New
Hampshire.
WMTW Channel 8 weatherman Matt Zidel was the emcee for the Live Auction that closed out the evening. Zidel
Li�le Caesars
is a Lewiston native and has done the March of Dimes
event in the past. Items bidden on ranged in price from
$450 to $1800 and weekend getaways to specialty furniture.
The March of Dimes organization was founded in 1938
by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt suffered with Polio,
which took his ability to walk without assistance during
much of his political career. The disease of Polio was epidemic through the 30s and early 50s until the creation of
the vaccine by Dr. Jonas Salk. With the vaccine putting
an end to the epidemics and spread of Polio by the late
1950s, the vision of the March of Dimes changed. In 1959
the organization’s new focus would be the lowering infant
mortality rates, due to premature birth and other natal defects. n

Maine Deer Season Outlook
V. Paul Reynolds
Contrary to a recent
press release issued by
the Maine Department
of Inland Fisheres and
Wildlife, Maine’s 2014
firearms season for deer
kicks off with a Maine
residents only opening
day November 1st, not
November 2nd. Starting
the following Monday,
November
3rd,
the
deer season is open to
all licensed big game
hunters. ( If you wait until
MDIF&W’s announced
start date of November
4th you will have missed
opening day).
What’s the Maine deer
season outlook?
Pretty darn good if you
combine the statistics,
the
deer
biologist’s
forecast and the so-called
“anecdotal evidence.”
According
to
the
harvest data and all the
buzz there has been a
definite rebound of deer
numbers following the
severe winters of 2008
and 2009.
Kyle Ravana, Maine’s
deer biologist, estimates
that if normal hunting
conditions and hunter
effort prevail, this year’s
dear kill will be in the
25,750 range, nearly a 20
percent increase from last
year’s kill. The total deer
kill for the last ten years is
as follows: 2012 – 21,553;
2011 – 18,839; 2010 –
20,063; 2009 – 18,092;
2008 – 21,062; 2007 –
28,885; 2006 – 29,918;
2005 – 28,148; 2004 –
30,926; 2003 – 30,313.
According to Ravana,
harvest trends support the
fact that the population
has rebounded.
Ravana says, “Last
year, WMD 3 in Eastern
Aroostook County had
its highest buck harvest
ever, and WMD 6, while
not a historical high, had
one of its highest buck
harvests ever. As a result
of the increasing deer
population in WMDs 3
and 6, the department
issued any-deer permits
in these WMDs 3 and 6
for 2013. Hunter surveys
also show that hunters are
seeing more deer.”
“Most telling is the
annual buck kill, an index
used by the department
to note trends in the
population. Maine’s buck
kill has increased each
of the past four years.
Last year’s buck harvest
increased 23% from the
previous year. In much
of the state, the buck kill
exceeded the 10-year
average, another sign
the deer population has
rebounded.”
The deer recovery is
attributted to a number of
factors: first and foremost,
consecutively
mild
winters, “focused predator
control” (dead coyotes),
and better protection of
deer wintering areas.
In general, outdoor
people are reporting deer
sightings from one end of
the state to the other. This
has not been the case for
too long. Deer hunters are
pumped.
Most exciting of all,
perhaps, are some nearrecord buck harvests last
fall in the big woods of far
northern Maine.
This trend, combined
with the likely survival
of Maine’s traditional
bear hunt, can only help
Maine’s
hard-pressed
rural economy. It will take
time to bring back many
non-resident deer hunters
who have been staying
away in droves.
The promotional arm
of the Maine Department
of Inland Fishheries and
Wildlife, when it gets its
calendar organized, might
consider some overdue
marketing
initiatives
to get the word out
about the long-awaited
recovery of Maine’s oncebeleaguered deer herd.

St. Mary’s Recognized for Outstanding Safety Record
St. Mary’s Regional
Medical Center was honored with an “A” grade in
the fall 2014 Hospital Safety Score, which rates how
well hospitals protect patients from errors, injuries
and infections. The Hospital Safety Score is compiled
under the guidance of the
nation’s leading experts on
patient safety and is administered by The Leapfrog
Group (Leapfrog), an independent industry watchdog.
The first and only hospital
safety rating to be peer-reviewed in the Journal of
Patient Safety, the Score is
free to the public and designed to give consumers
information they can use
to protect themselves and
their families when facing a
hospital stay.
“We are pleased to be
recognized for this signif-
icant achievement,” said
Lee Myles, President and
CEO of St. Mary’s Health
System. “This could not
have been accomplished
without the support of our
Board of Directors, our
clinical leadership, and all
staff who have been so diligent in following safety
protocols, keeping our patients health a number one
priority.”
“Patient safety needs to
be a 24-7 priority for hospitals, as errors and infections are all too common
and often deadly,” said
Leah Binder, president
and CEO of The Leapfrog
Group, which administers
the Hospital Safety Score.
“We commend the ‘A’ hospitals, including St. Mary’s
Regional Medical Center
for helping us to raise the
standards of health care na-
tionwide, and demonstrating that they’ve made the
well-being of patients a top
priority.”
Developed under the
guidance of Leapfrog’s
Blue Ribbon Expert Panel,
the Hospital Safety Score
uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital
safety data to produce a
single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,”
or “F” score representing a
hospital’s overall capacity
to keep patients safe from
preventable harm. More
than 2,500 U.S. general
hospitals were assigned
scores in fall 2014, with
about 31-percent receiving
an “A” grade. The Hospital
Safety Score is fully transparent, with a full analysis
of the data and methodology used in determining
grades available online.

So Close
John McDonald
No one from Maine has
ever been elected president of the United States.
James G. Blaine, one of
Maine’s most famous and
successful
politicians,
came closest. Our western
neighbor New Hampshire
gave the country President
Franklin Pierce, but many
historians consider him
one of our worst. I’d rather not claim any than have
to claim Pierce.
Although he hated to
admit it, James G. Blaine
was actually “from away.”
He was born in 1830
in the sleep little town
of West Brownsville,
Pennsylvania,
coming
to Maine in 1854 when
he was hired as editor of
the Kennebec Journal in
Augusta. Later, in what
some would call a step up
and others would consider
a step down he moved to
Portland to become editor
of the Portland Advertiser.
In 1859 Blaine was elected to the Maine House of
Representatives, where
he served three years, the
last as Speaker. He then
moved on to the U.S.
Congress as Maine’s representative. He did so well
as Speaker of the Maine
House that his colleagues
in Congress elected him
Speaker there as well.
Wanting a better job,
Blaine resigned from
Congress in 1876 and
ran unsuccessfully for
the Republican nomination for president. He ran
for the same nomination
four years later and lost
again. Third time being
the charm – at least for the
presidential nomination –
Blaine became the Republican candidate for President in 1884, but managed
to lose the election, anyway, to Grover Cleveland.
But he came sooo close.
How close?
Well, he lost New York
State, and thereby the
election, by about one
thousand votes.
Many people, including
Blaine, thought he lost because of inflammatory remarks made in New York
on the eve of the election
by Reverend Samuel D.
Burchard, supposedly on
Blaine’s behalf. In a fiery speech Rev. Burchard
referred to the opposing
party – the Democrats –
as the party of “… Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion!” Blaine sat there on
the podium, powerless to
do anything
As expected, the emotional speech got lots of
people all riled up. And remember, this all occurred
well before talk radio,
iPhones, facebook, twitter and texting. The reverend’s words spread like
wildfire throughout New
York’s immigrant population, offending many Irish
Catholics in the process.
In the remaining hours of
the campaign, Blaine reminded New York voters
that his own mother was
a Catholic, but it was not
enough. Too much damage had been done by the
reverend’s remarks and
Blaine lost the election.
The campaign between
Blaine and Cleveland became famous for two silly campaign slogans, one
aimed at each candidate.
I know. What campaign
slogans aren’t silly?
Cleveland supporters
often chanted, “James G.
Blaine, James G. Blaine,
the continental liar from
the State of Maine.” While
Blaine supporters, after
discovering that Cleveland fathered a child out
of wedlock, chanted, “Ma,
Ma, where’s my pa?”
After Cleveland won
the election, the ending of
the chant became, “Gone
to the White House,
ha,ha,ha.”Don’t you wish
our politics still had such
wholesome scandals?
I suppose Longfellow
could have written better
slogans, but, as far as we
know, he never offered his
services to either candidaten.

Tell us what you think of this publication:
bend side to side. The
more the better. Try to do
100 side to side.
3. Torso twist with
weight: This exercise is
very affective with a light
to moderate hands weight.
Hold one dumbbell with
both hand straight out in
front of you, chest high
with straight arms. Rotate
to the left and then rotate
to the right. Leave hips
stationary and only twist
at the waist as the upper
body follows.
4. Overhead side chop
knee pull: No weight
needed but you can add
weight if you need a little more. With hands over
head at a left side angle
bring your opposite knee
into your chest to meet
your arms and repeat up
and down 12 times on
each side.
5. Cross over extensions
with weight. Use light to
moderate weight. Reach
for the sky to your left and
then reach for the floor
to your right extending
the body with each reach.
Squat and bend the knees
when reaching to the floor
to protect the back. This
works the oblique on each
side of your waist and
also works the abdominal
muscles that cross your
midsection. Repeat 12
times of each side.
One could easily whip
through these simple exercises in 15 to 20 minutes.
Remember to always consult your physician before
performing any new exercise program especially if
you have a specific medical condition.

Mechanics Savings Bank Donates to L/A Arts
Joshua Vink, Executive Director of L/A Arts accepts a $2,000 check from Rick Vail,
President and CEO of Mechanics Savings Bank.
Mechanics Savings Bank

Nothin’ But Small Talk…Horses Helping Soldiers
Jess Small
This month we pay tribute to those military personnel who have served
our country. They have
fought for our freedom
and put their lives on the
line to ensure our safety.
Now they are home and
we need to make sure they
know our appreciation and
are taken care of.
For decades horses have
carried soldiers bravely
into war, carried cannons
and ammunition for the
artillerymen, pulled wagons full of supplies for the
all military, and carried
the American flag proudly
head on into battle. Today
horses are helping wounded soldiers on the road to
recover from their physical and emotional injuries,
as well as help them to adjust back into civilian life.
When you are in the
presence of a horse you
feel a rush of emotions
– strength, focus, energy, awe, and just overwhelmed with their beauty and power. Scientists
and therapists have recognized these complex
emotions and the quick
bond between humans and
horses and have begun to
use them for many therapeutic purposes. Horses
are smart and perceptive
animals. Each horse has
its own personality, just
as humans do. Their personality traits are not the
same as human traits, but
they are traits that we as
humans can relate to and
that is what helps seal the
bond between our species.
Horses can help facilitate healing because they
have a natural ability to
know what a person needs
to heal, whether it is an
emotional block, a bad repetitive behavior, or even
a physical problem.
Equine assisted therapy
programs are becoming
more and more popular
all over the country. More
farms and programs are
opening their doors every year. Many of them
are now focusing on post
traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). Horses and soldiers are a lot alike. They
are both hard wired to stay
alert, aware, and ready for
danger at all times, as a
soldier in a combat zone
or in hostile territory has
to be. Horses are also able
to calm themselves quickly, as a soldier is trained to
do as well.
In most equine assisted
therapy programs, horses
are teamed with mental
health professionals and
an equine professional
to address the issues that
each veteran is facing
when they return home.
On the ground activities
with horses are also used
to mimic real live issues
and combat zones. This
allows the therapist to see
where the problems are
and then are able to help
them to find solutions. The
participants quickly learn
and recognize unhealthy
behaviors, acknowledge
their strengths and weaknesses and work to incorporate new healthy behaviors.
Horses are also used
to help wounded soldiers
heal their physical aliments. Riding a horse is
soothing, stress free, and
one can find comfort with
the rhythmic rocking motion of the horse. Soldiers
who have trouble walking
or can’t run feel at one with
the horse and can focus on
their balance and posture
as well as using all muscle
groups while in the saddle.
Horses and humans have
a pelvis that works the
same way, both with identical hip movements while
walking. Sitting on a horse
allows a person’s body
parts do move naturally.
Therapeutic riding also
helps with traumatic brain
injuries and PTSD. While
riding your mind must be
in the present and focused
on yourself, the horse, and
your riding. Being in the
saddle helps your brain
work on the “right now”
and does not let rider focus on any intrusive thinking or distracted thoughts.
Many researchers have
discovered and proved
that horses tend to mirror
the human emotions and
the claim that horses are
very effective partners for
helping a human heal as
well as helping them to
achieve higher levels of
personal growth. A horse’s
behavior can change the
emotional state of a person.
One session of Equine
Assisted Psychotherapy
(EAP) can be equal to five
sessions on the “couch”.
Our soldiers deserve to be
at peace and feel comfort
upon their return home.
Horses can give that to
them. Farms and ranches
that offer equine therapy
on the ground and in the
saddle are becoming more
and more popular. Many
of them are branching out
and primarily focusing
on our wounded soldiers
while a majority continues
to focus on children and
therapy needs.
Our services members
and their families make
daily sacrifices for all of us
living in the United States
and it’s the utmost importance that we take care of
those who give endlessly
for our freedom once they
return home! n
Rob Foley (shown above), a retired Navy Seal, helped to get the Equine Assisted Therapy for Veterans program started at Equine Journeys in Bridgton, Maine. Equine Journeys
started 7 years ago with providing therapeutic riding and driving, mostly with developmentally delayed adults. 3 years ago they were able to start their veterans program. They
have a licensed therapist and psychiatric nurse who, along with Therapeutic driving and riding instructors, form the therapy team. Equine Journeys has been seeing veterans at
no charge to them. They seek out veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, or Military Sexual Trauma.

Q. Do people who
are color blind see everything in black and
white?
“Color blindness” is
the common term used
to describe color vision
deficiency. The term is
misleading, because total color blindness that
turns the world into
shades of gray is rare.
The most common
type of color blindness
makes it difficult for
people to discriminate
between red and green.
The next most common
form of the deficiency
affects the perception
of blues and yellows.
Those with blue-yellow blindness almost
always have red-green
blindness, too.
Many people with
color blindness don’t
know they have it.
For example, they are
taught at an early age
that grass is green. They
look at lawns and see
yellow grass. Subsequently, if you ask them
what color the grass
is, they will tell you it’s
green.
(Please don’t ask me
how they handle shopping for bananas.)
Color blindness affects about ten percent of men, but only
one percent of women.
Most people with color
blindness inherited it.
There is no treatment
to correct inherited color blindness. However,
there are specially tinted eyeglasses that can
help people with defi-
ciencies to discriminate
between colors.
Another cause of color blindness is simple
aging, which gradually
diminishes our ability
to see colors.
Diseases can affect
your color vision, too.
Usually, diseases affect
the perception of blue
and yellow. Some conditions that can cause
color blindness are diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration,
Alzheimer's
disease,
Parkinson's
disease, leukemia and
sickle cell anemia.
Some drugs can alter
color perception, too.
These include drugs for
heart problems, high
blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, nervous disorders and psychological problems.
Exposure to certain
chemicals can cause
color blindness. These
include carbon disulfide, fertilizers, styrene
and mercury.
The eye is like a camera. There’s a lens in
the front that focuses
images on the retina
in the back. The retina contains nerve cells
that react to light and
transmit information to
your brain. If the cells
responsible for color
don’t work properly,
you suffer from color
blindness.
If you think you are
having a color-vision
problem, see an eye
doctor. You’ll be asked
to look at a book containing several multicolored dot patterns. If
you have a color vision
deficiency, you won’t be
able to pick out numbers and shapes from
within the dot patterns.
If you would like to
ask a question, write
to fred@healthygeezer.

JoAnn Pike Humanitarian Award Recipient
Good Shepherd Food
Bank announced that
it will award the 2015
JoAnn Pike Humanitarian
Award to Bill Williamson,
Maine Market President
for Bank of America. The
award will be presented
at a banquet at the Food
Bank in April.
Each year Good Shepherd Food Bank selects an
award recipient in honor
of its founder, JoAnn Pike.
This year the Food Bank is
inviting the community to
come together to honor an
outstanding leader and advance the important mission of ending hunger in
Maine.
Fifteen percent of Maine
households face hunger,
according to USDA statistics. It is estimated that
one in four Maine children
does not get the nutritious
food they need to grow
and thrive. Good Shepherd Food Bank is committed to working with
partners across the state to
find solutions to the problem of hunger.
“Because of Bill’s outstanding level of commitment to supporting the
communities and people
of Maine, and his dedication to fighting hunger,
this was a perfect fit,” said
Kristen Miale, president
of Good Shepherd Food
Bank. “The Food Bank is
honored to give him this
award in recognition of his
efforts.”
Williamson describes
himself as an ardent supporter of efforts to end
hunger in Maine. Working
with Good Shepherd Food
Bank and other hunger relief organizations, he contributes expertise to assist
with advocacy, fundraising and strategic planning.
“Good Shepherd Food
Bank has been helping to
fight hunger in our community for more than 30
years,” said Williamson.
“The efforts of the Food
Bank and its partners continue to make a tremendous impact on the lives
of individuals and families
in need.”
Williamson serves as
Bank of America’s leader
in Maine and focuses on
integrating Bank of America business lines across
the state. He also directs
the company’s local corporate social responsibility program, which
includes
philanthropy,
community development,
environmental initiatives,
diversity efforts, arts and
culture projects, and volunteerism.
Additionally, William-
son serves as a Senior
Client Manager in Bank
of America’s Commercial
Banking Group for Northern New England, bringing 33 years of commercial banking experience
to the role. Currently, he
manages the commercial
banking needs of a diverse
group of public and private companies in Maine,
New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Williamson is a board
member
of
Educate
Maine, the Maine State
Chamber of Commerce,
the United Way of Greater Portland, and the Alfond Scholarship Fund.
Previously, he worked in
the field of education as
Director of Development
for Phillips Academy in
Andover, Massachusetts
and Vermont Academy in
Saxton’s River, Vermont.
He has served as a Director of School Administrative District #51 in
Cumberland, Maine and
as a board member of the
Greater Portland Chamber
of Commerce and the Susan Curtis Foundation.

Tuna Tourney
Endowment Gets
Another Boost
Organizers of the Sturdivant Island Tuna Tournament (SITT) hosted
representatives of the
Maine Community Colleges at a reception in
South Portland recently
at which they presented
checks for the colleges’
endowed SITT scholarship funds.
The 17th annual tournament was held in August out of the Spring
Point Marina in South
Portland. The tourney has
made more than $600,000
in charitable contribu-
tions since the inaugural
event in 1998. Most of the
funds have gone toward
establishing scholarship
endowments at Maine’s
community
colleges.
The SITT endowment at
CMCC is now approaching $40,000.
This year’s tournament
winner was Captain Phil
Chase and the crew of
“Hook'r1,” who reeled in
a 537.4 pound slammer.
Captain Patrick Simmons
and his “Kelly Ann” crew
came in second with a
430.6 catch. n

Good Shepherd Receives Funding
Thanks to a $200,000,
two-year grant from the
Sandy River Charitable
Foundation, in addition to
several awards from other funders, Good Shepherd Food Bank will be
able to purchase 520,000
pounds of local foods to
distribute to Maine families facing hunger.
The additional funding awards come from
the Sam L. Cohen Foundation, the Elmina B.
Sewall Foundation, the
New Balance Foundation, the John Merck
Fund, and Nestle, for a
total of $340,000.
The funds will support
the Food Bank’s Mainers
Feeding Mainers program. Through this program, the organization
makes bulk purchases
from local farmers and
food producers and dis-
tributes these nutritious,
local foods to food pantries, meal sites, and directly to families facing
hunger. The Food Bank
currently purchases from
25 farms across the state.
The majority of the
grant funding will be
used to purchase nutritious foods, such as fresh
or lightly processed fruits
and vegetables, cheese
and other dairy products, and frozen fish and
meats. These healthy
items can be difficult for
the Food Bank to acquire
through its traditional food donors. Making
bulk purchases ensures
that the organization’s
partner food pantries and
meal sites will have ongoing access to nutritious
items.
“Fresh, nutritious foods
are often the most diffi-
cult items for struggling
families to access and afford, and this can have serious health consequences,” said Kristen Miale,
president of Good Shepherd Food Bank. “These
grants provide us with
the means to make sure
Maine families, no matter
what their income or circumstances, have access
to the nutritious food they
need to live healthy lives.
And the funding feeds
right back into Maine’s
local economy, so it’s really a win-win.”
A portion of the funds
from these grant awards
will also go toward improving
infrastructure
capabilities to safely, efficiently and effectively
meet the challenges of
distributing perishable
foods. The Food Bank
will improve the cold
storage facilities in its
Auburn warehouse and
will provide several partner agencies with refrigerators and freezers to
increase their capacity.
Fifteen percent of
Maine households face
hunger, according to
USDA statistics. It is estimated that one in four
Maine children does not
get the nutritious food
they need to grow and
thrive. Good Shepherd
Food Bank is committed
to providing nutritious
food for Mainers facing
hunger through its network of partner hunger
relief agencies across
Maine.

Critter Chatter: Foxes and Helpful Folks
Carleen Cote
Foxes present the fewest health issues. Nevertheless, they are not
immune to mange, their
biggest problem. Mange
is caused by a mite that
burrows under the skin.
The excreted mites' waste
causes the itch. The fox
scratches until open
wounds occur. These become infected and crusty
and their hair falls out.
If this happens in cold
weather, the fox will die
from hypothermia. The
mites survive by sucking blood which causes
anemia and may lead to
death.
As with most wildlife,
foxes might have other
internal parasites, such as
round worm, hook worm
and lung worm. The stress
of captivity apparently
cause these parasites to
multiply and cause health
issues. External parasites
include lice, ticks and
fleas. These are treatable.
Rabies in foxes has
not been a problem for
many years. However in
southern Maine, three aggressive grey foxes that
attacked humans tested
positive for this virus.
This year, 22 young foxes arrived at the Center
in need of care. This is
the most we have ever received in one year. Many
calls came in about foxes hanging out around
homes and on golf courses. With the explosion
of fox families and the
loss of habitat, inevitably some virus will affect
this animal, as it has with
raccoons, skunks, woodchucks and bats.
Most folks who offer
to volunteer at the Center want to work with the
animals, until they learn
about the required vaccinations, but this summer
two people called to volunteer who had no interest
in working with animals.
We happily welcomed
Gerard, from Augusta, who said he'd do any
work that needed doing.
True to his word, he raked
lawns, weeded and cared
for flower beds, cleaned
out a building in which
we'd raised chickens for
the storage of food and
equipment, and washed
tubs and kennels used for
the wildlife. If there was
a job to be done, he was
willing. When the school
year started, we bid Gerard farewell as he returned to his paying job.
Thank you, Gerard, for all
your assistance this summer!
Brenda,
from
Waterville, initially wanted to work with the animals, but stayed with us
anyway. Joining us on
Saturdays (she works at
her job four days a week),
she did the dirty work of
scrubbing and sanitizing
the raccoon water dishes and food trays, and
washing containers used
to transport the animals,

taking care of anything
that was dirty and needed cleaning. Like Gerard,
Brenda did it all these
tasks without ever a murmur of complaint. Thank
you, Brenda!
We also want to thank
Bob, who has mowed the
lawns at the Center for
many years. His pay is a
large bag of dog food and
biscuits for his animals!
Our lawns would become hay fields without
his help! We continue to
count our blessings.

extensive HO layout, and
younger children will enjoy operating trains with
Thomas the Tank Engine.
A variety of train sets under the Christmas trees
will be raffled off, with
the drawing to be held on
Saturday, November 29.
TRAIN TIME videos
produced by the Great
Falls Model Railroad Club
are seen on Time-Warner
cable from Augusta and on
local access cable channels throughout the state,
including Lewiston-Auburn (Great Falls TV);
Norway-Paris (NPC-TV);
Greene, Leeds and Turner
(WGLT-TV 4); and Lake
Region (LR-TV). TRAIN
TIME videos will be
shown continuously each
day, and will be available
for sale. ExTRAINaganza T-shirts, hand-crafted
Christmas ornaments, and
Christmas cards created
from the club’s large collection of train slides may
also be purchased.
Snacks and light refreshments are offered in
“The Dining Car.” Parents can enjoy the refreshments from conveniently
located tables and chairs,
while watching the play
area with age-appropriate
trains for younger children. Other activities include decorating cookies
and Christmas tree ornaments.
The “FEZtival of Trees”
at the Kora Shrine Center
in Lewiston takes place
on the same days, giving
families an opportunity
to enjoy both events on
the same day or alternate
days: Saturday, November 22, from 10 a.m. to
8 p.m.; Sunday, November 23, from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m.; Monday, November
24, from 4 to 8 p.m.; Friday, November 28, from

Healthy Androscoggin Honors Prevention Partners
Healthy Androscoggin recently held its 2014 Annual
Meeting at The Bates Mill Atrium in Lewiston. The Annual Meeting was a time for Healthy Androscoggin to share
its successes over the past year with partners and community members of Androscoggin County. This included
honoring three coalition partners with its annual Coalition Awards. The Coalition Awards are distributed to local and regional community partners on an annual basis
and consist of the Community Leadership, Will Bartlett,
and Partnership awards.
The 2014 Community Leadership Award was presented to Kristen Cloutier, Lewiston City Councilor and
Center Operations and Program Coordinator for the Harward Center at Bates College. This award, which recognizes an individual that has exempli�ied superior leadership through their work in the community, is granted
for diligent and altruistic work that improves the public
health and promotes the ideals of Healthy Androscoggin. Kristen has been a Lewiston City Councilor for less
than a year, but she has helped raise awareness of the
high number of childhood lead poisonings in LewistonAuburn and how lead poisoning can be prevented. She
helped garner support for the City of Lewiston to become
a Green and Healthy Homes Initiative site which leverages partnerships and resources to make our local housing stock safer.
Healthy Androscoggin presented the 2014 Will Bartlett
Award to Norma Larocque, Health Coordinator at Androscoggin Head Start and Childcare. Will Bartlett, a longterm Guidance Counselor in the Lewiston School Department, was a strong believer in the mission and vision of
The 2014 Partnership Award was presented to Michael
W. Wardrop, Maine Resident Agent in Charge for the
United States Drug Enforcement Administration. This
award, which recognizes an individual or organization
that has exempli�ied superior partnership with Healthy
Androscoggin, is granted for diligent and altruistic work
that helps further Healthy Androscoggin’s mission and
vision in the community. Mike has been Maine’s point
person and lead on organizing the DEA’s National Medicine Take Back Initiatives since they began in 2010. Mike
and his team, for four years, have coordinated with every
law enforcement department in Maine, as well as many
long-term care facilities, to carry out these programs.
The partnership in Lewiston/Auburn has been extremely successful and lead to the removal of over 5 tons of
unwanted and expired medicines from area households.

Getting Old or Growing Old?
Similar phrases, but what a world of
difference between the two! Which are
you? – getting old or growing old?
Getting old. Just picture it. Drooping
shoulders, head hung low. “Getting old
isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.” “Things
sure aren’t like they used to be.” This
person is part of that statistic that always
KRUUL¿HV PH ± ò RI DOO HOGHUV¶ WLPH
is spent watching TV. These people
seem to be sitting on the sidelines,
just waiting for the days to go by until
they die. “Nobody wants us…I’m just
too old…” It seems that they got to a
certain point and just gave up.
Growing old. Ah-h-h. A huge
difference. This is active, we’re still
growing, becoming something new,
expanding, changing. Still not mature
or complete, we still have more to
become! I think of the trees in the fall
– that’s growing old. They don’t die
before they become a blaze of glory.
We are those leaves – still growing
towards maturity. We are not complete
yet, we are still growing. Let’s do it

changing ourselves and changing the
entire world around us.
These people are still learning, still
have new ideas, have new goals and
aims. They are still curious about the
world around them, want to better
understand themselves and the people

maybe spending more time listening
and watching, than expounding! This
becomes the wisdom of old age.
A very wise woman once said –
I look forward to how I will change in
5 or 10 years. This is what I think now.
I’m anxious to see how I’ll change in
the future. -- Coronetta Adams (my

Stone Garden Dedication
Androscoggin Home
Care & Hospice hosted
a ribbon cutting event
unveiling its Stone Garden that represents the
migration of the spirit
for the patients and their
families who are cared
for at its Hospice House
in Auburn, Maine. The
ceremony was held on
Friday, October 17th on
a beautiful Friday afternoon with 25 guest, staff
and community members
joining in on the celebration.
Julie Shackley, President/CEO; Mary MacMahon,
Foundation
Chair,
Karen Flynn,
Hospice Director; sisters
Lucie and Dianne Boucher, Artist, and Claudia
Takacs wife of the late
Antony Takacs who created the iron stands for
the bowls, were present
to dedicate the new Stone
Garden.
The Stone Project rep-
Pictured from left to right: Dianne Boucher, Mary MacMahon, Julie Shackley, Lucie
Boucher, Claudia Takacs and Karen Flynn
resents the Migration of
the Spirit. After the actual loss of a loved one,
perhaps the greatest challenge for a survivor is
letting go emotionally.
While the passage
of time itself works to
this end, ceremony and
the physical things which
embody a ceremony can
make this easier, both
pointing the way and
leading the survivor to a
peaceful acceptance.
These are the ideas
behind Migration of the
Spirit, a collection of
fused glass vessels arranged to symbolize the
emotional letting go of a
loved one. Stones originally placed in a bowl
inside the Hospice House
are over time and with
appropriate
ceremony
moved, first outside and
then, through the descending sequence of five
vessels, to the ground and
the environment from
which all life originates.
Migration of the Spirit
is a collective artistic effort of professional glass
artist Lucie Boucher of
Stone Ridge Glass and
her sister Dianne Boucher, science teacher and
artist in training.
Androscoggin Home
Care & Hospice is a nonprofit Medicare-certified
agency that provides patient centered care that is

CMMC DAISY Award Nurse
Registered nurse Erin
Stone has been recognized as a Central Maine
Medical Center DAISY
Award recipient.
The DAISY Award is
sponsored by the DAISY
Foundation and recognizes nurses who consistently demonstrate in
their work the following
attributes: compassion;
critical thinking skills;
passion about life; patient- and family-focused
care; patient advocacy;
support of all healthcare
team members; and nursing profession role model.
Stone works on fourth
floor Memorial Wing
Cardiopulmonary Nursing Unit. She was nominated for the award for
her ongoing job performance, which one recent
patient described as fitting “all of the criteria for
receiving a Daisy award.
Erin went far and beyond
what she needed to do.”
“As both a co-worker
and clinical and spiritual
mentor, Erin empowers
nurses to excel in their
roles. She is personally
invested in the mission
and values of Central
Maine Medical Center to
provide the highest quality, patient centered care.
Erin is legendary for her
teamwork, her holistic
values, her creativity in
delivering care, her excellent communication, and
her consummate clinical
skills,” says M4 Nurse
Manager Mary McRae.
“Erin offers the gift of
anticipating her patients’
needs, focusing on their
home situation, their current needs and values,
and then she is a zealous
patient advocate,” McRae
continues. “She makes
connections with patients
by fostering an affirmative framework, speaking
with them at their level, at
the bedside, holding their
hands and listening. Her
compassionate approach
works on all patients because they connect on
a deeper level and feel
heard. Erin uses the power of ‘presence’, listening
to the families concerns
and letting them verbalize their fears. She offers
comfort measures not
only to the patient, but the
extended family as well.”
McRae also notes that
Stone’s sense of service
extends to the community. “She volunteers at
the United Congregational Church of New
Gloucester in their food
pantry, and for 10 years
has worked with Edie’s
Angels, partnering with
Blake Street Towers to
provide meals, food baskets and spirituality to the
80-plus residents that reside there,” she says.
The DAISY Award was
established in 1999 by
the family of J. Patrick
Barnes, who died at 33
from complications of
idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. DAISY is
an acronym for “diseases attacking the immune
system”. The foundation
is headquartered in Glen

St. Dom’s Class of 1964 50th Reunion
Members of the Saint Dominic Class of 1964 are pictures at a recent reunion.
The Class of 1964 celebrated their 50th Class
Reunion on August 16th
at Saint Dominic Academy. More than 40% of
the class were in attendance, with a few members traveling from as
far as California. Pauline Vachon Beal, O.D.
and Paul Roy welcomed
all of the guests and acted as Emcee’s for the
evening. Connie Roy
Godfrey and Lorraine
Tardif Cavanaugh paid
tribute to each of the deceased members of the
class. Opening prayer
was done by Michelle
Martel Robitaille, as she
gave a special thanks to
all of their parents who
made great sacrifices
for all of them to attend
St. Dom’s. Marcel Morin made a toast to the
class remembering the
fond memories and special friends made at St.
Dom’s. Everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner
catered by Mac’s Grill.
After dinner the classmates got the opportunity
to enjoy a humorous presentation from classmate
Michael Parent who is a
professional story teller. Michael’s program
was titled, “A Beautiful
Game”, “mostly true”
recollections of his longtime connection to the
game of ice hockey. Set
in Lewiston, where he
grew up, the story follows him from his days
as a young boy struggling to stay upright on
his first pair of skates, to
his big moment as goalie
for the St. Dom’s hockey team which competed, against heavy odds,
at the Boston Garden
for the New England
Championship in 1964.
After Michael’s program all of the hockey

The United States of America is the land that I love and call home.
So I proudly pledge my allegiance to our flag.
What’s more, I do affirm:
All across America I love to see out Country’s flag
flying in the breeze.
It makes me think of freedom and our homeland’s liberties.
I love to see a gleaming white, flagpole tall and true,
that under God, for peace unfurls
our flag’s red, white, and blue.
I love to see the Stars and Stripes
streaming from that pole
the spirit of America, -- our Country’s Honor Roll.
Aloft a quiet, village green, hill, or sparkling lake
our flag lifts high my eyes and heart
and resolve for our children’s sake.
From coast to coast Old Glory stands
free our land to keep!
In gratitude I tribute give to our brave in honored sleep.
Thanks to their deeds, our flag waves on
steadfast in the breeze,
inspiring us, reminding us of our precious liberties.

Aruba: An Inviting Winter Getaway
Most people visit Aruba for its white sand beaches.
Aruba has a variety of landscapes, including cactus.
By Victor Block
Photos courtesy of
Len Kaufman
A gleaming white sand
beach that rims the azure
sea is set off by an explosion of scarlet, purple and
other vivid colors of lush
tropical foliage. Nearby,
stretches of rocks and pebbly soil interspersed with
cactus comprise a very
different terrain. The variety of landscapes found
on Aruba is echoed by the
diversity of its attractions.
The island’s stretches
of white sand beaches are
among the most beautiful
in the Caribbean. Touches
of European charm add to
its appeals.
The Dutch took control
of Aruba in 1636 and have
held sway over it since
then, except for a short period in the early 19th century. Reminders of this Dutch
heritage are everywhere.
One distinctive landmark is a windmill built
in 1804 that once drained
water from low-lying ar-
ings attest to their presence.
Reminders of Aruba’s
agricultural past in the park
include a long-deserted
adobe farm house, while
abandoned mines recall a
mini-gold rush that got underway in 1825 and lasted
for nearly a century.
Speaking of gold, 12
casinos have earned Aruba the nickname of “Las
Vegas of the Caribbean.”
While most are located in
resort hotels, two are in
Oranjestad, the capital city.
Oranjestad also has other attractions. The Dutch
colonial architecture of
many buildings, some dating back to the late 18th
century, comes in a variety
of pastel colors. The busy
port teems with boats, and
sidewalks with crowds of
sightseers and shoppers.
When not spending
money on shopping or
gambling, visitors have a
choice of several small but
interesting museums. The
Archaeological Museum is
housed in a cluster of col-
eas of Holland. In 1960, it
was taken apart, shipped to
Aruba and reassembled in
its unlikely Caribbean setting, where it has housed
several restaurants and
night clubs.
Most people visit Aruba for its beaches. A seven-mile stretch backs up
to high-rise hotels that rim
the sheltered southwestern
and western coastline. The
windswept northern and
eastern coasts, which are
battered by the sea, have
been left largely undeveloped.
Rugged limestone cliffs
run along much of the
northeastern
coastline.
They mark one boundary
of Arikok National Park,
an ecological preserve that
sprawls over nearly 20% of
the island.
Intriguing chapters of
Aruba’s history come alive
in this setting. Shallow
caves recall a time when
Arawak Indians inhabited
the island. Drawings that
ornament walls and ceil-
orfully painted homes that
were built around 1870.
Exhibits showcase the history of Indians on Aruba.
They range from an ancient
long house and native hut
to artifacts dating back as
far as 2500 BC.
The Historical Museum
of Aruba is housed in Fort
Zoutman. That fortification
was built in 1796-1798 to
protect the island from pirates.
The museum has displays about farming, fishing and other aspects of
island life, including interesting tidbits about villages I had explored. For example, Noord began as an
Indian community, while
Rancho was established
as a fishing village around
1855.
Stops at other towns also
provide introductions to
what locals call “the real
Aruba.” San Nicolas once
jumped to the beat of workers at the now-abandoned
nearby oil refinery, but
it’s on the quiet side these

have ‘game.’ Either way,
it’s going to be a great
event!”
“Our goal is to pack
