They are looking for youth ages 12-16 who want to join as they explore the mountains, hillsides, lakes, rivers and forests of the North Maine Woods. This trip will take place from Wednesday, July 15 through Friday, July 17. On this trip, youth will spend 3 days and 2 nights at Little Lyford Lodge, owned and operated by AMC. At the Lodge, District staff and AMC’s Piscataquis Education Coordinator, Dawna Blackstone, will provide opportunities for youth to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities, all while learning about the natural resources surrounding them and the importance of conservation. Activities for the Teen Wilderness Expedition trip will include kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, swimming, trail walks, camp fires and much more. They will spend their days with local experts that will provide demonstrations and presentations about native fish species, Maine wildlife and even a natured-themed watercolor painting lesson. In addition to these fun activities and presentations, youth attending the Teen Wilderness Expedition trip will also enjoy accommodations in the guest cabins at Little Lyford Lodge, delicious food, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, and be surrounded by the friendly lodge staff and the beautiful scenery. “Last year, the PCSWCD held our first annual trip to Little Lyford Lodge and the youth that joined us on the trip had a blast,” said a PCSWCD representative, “Little Lyford offers a unique North Woods setting, perfect for making lifelong, summertime memories with friends and soaking up the natural beauty surrounding us.” “The Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District works in our community to educate residents on how to protect and conserve our natural resources,” the representative continued, “Over the years and through our partnership with AMC, we have offered this trip as a hands-on learning experience to do just that. Through educational efforts such as our Teen Wilderness Expedition, the PCSWCD has engaged many youth to get out and explore our natural world and has inspired future generations of environmental stewards.” To register for the Teen Wilderness Expedition through the PCSWCD call 207-564-2321 ext. 3, by emailing info@piscataquisswcd. org or by stopping by their office in the USDA Service Center at 42 Engdahl Drive in Dover-Foxcroft, ME.

For information about other screenings throughout the state, visit www.camdenfilmfest.org. The Piscataquis Thriving in Place Collaborative is sponsoring the May 31 screening and has selected four films that address issues fundamental to aging, including driving, independence, and dementia care. With so much media concentration on the demographics of aging, the economic impact of caregiving, and the prevalence of age-related conditions, the actual experiences of older people may be overlooked. These documentary films reveal the poignant personal struggles and opportunities that come with growing older.

The first difference is the race date itself, says Patrick Myers, the Y’s Race Coordinator, “There are so many great races and events in July that is was getting difficult to find a date that didn’t cause conflicts, so we decided to move the race to August.” The Y hopes that this will encourage more people to take part in the race which has seen attendance dropping slightly over the past few years. The Y is also making other changes to the event in hopes of attracting new participants. “Many people are interested in biking and running, but aren’t so excited about the swim portion of the Triathlon,” Myers said. “To bring them into the event we are not only shortening the swimming leg from ½ mile to ¼ mile, but we are also going to offer a new Duathlon event that only includes the Biking and Running events.” The Triathlon will start with the ¼ mile swim in Sebec Lake at the Public Beach, then both events will follow the same 12-mile bike route from the public beach, to the Peaks-Kenny entrance and then into Dover-Foxcroft. The 5k run portion of both events will end at the YMCA. Registration is now open for both events for both teams and individuals. Medals will be awarded for top finishers in separate age and gender divisions. Each racer will receive a t-shirt and goody bag and after the race there will be a celebration and awards ceremony at the Y as well as music and food for all participants and spectators. Registration is open right up till the morning of the event, but Myers suggests people get registered before July 3rd to take advantage of the early-bird discount. People can register at the Y or by visiting www.prymca.org. Anyone wanting more information about the triathlon can call the Y at 564-7111 or stop in at 48 Park Street in Dover-Foxcroft.

The concert will take place Saturday, May 24 at 2pm with admission by donation. The idea for the concert came from Lou Harper with the Dexter Brass who is working to assemble a slate of acts for the event. Currently on the program along with Dexter Brass are the renowned folk duo Castlebay. Castlebay started in 1987, performing and promoting the music of Maine and the Celtic lands of Scotland and Ireland. Castlebay regularly tours throughout the eastern US performing at arts centers, festivals, folk clubs, schools, and libraries. They have toured the United Kingdom annually since 1993. They have collaborated with performers there on several CDs and also composed music for a major work presented at the Celtic Connections Festival, Glasgow, Scotland, in 2001. The Dexter Brass are a well-known community band that performs often throughout the year at events and concerts. Lou Harper, who plays in the band, is also recruiting other groups to take part in the concert. Updates can be found on the Center Theatre’s website www. centertheatre.org and the Theatre’s FaceBook page.

Janet was born on February 18, 1925 at home in Athens, ME where she was welcomed by her parents, Amos E., Jr. and Beatrice M. (Trueworthy) Rines. Orphaned at the age of 12, she lived at Goodwill Hinckley until her graduation in 1942. She received her nursing degree from Sisters of Charity Hospital in Waterville in 1946. Soon after, she enlisted in the Army, and after completing basic training at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, was transferred to the Air Force. She served as a charge nurse at Wheelus Field Air Base in Tripoli, Libya and was commissioned as Captain before being honorably discharged. Her nursing career continued at the Fairview Hospital in Skowhegan before she became Dexter’s Public Health nurse and School nurse, positions she held for nearly thirty five years.

She was the first recipient of Jan Rines R.N. lived in Dexter for more than sixty years and served as Dexter’s Public Health Nurse for over thirty years. She also served, for a time, as Dexter’s School Nurse. Jan’s nursing career in Dexter began before Medicare and Medicaid were instituted. She identified the needs of pregnant women, the newborn, the children of the community, the men and women who had unmet health and social needs, and the elderly. Jan’s formal nursing education along with her servant spirit met the needs of the people in Dexter and surrounding communities. Jan worked in collaboration with the State’s Division of Public Health and was respected by her professional colleagues. A tribute to Jan was written by one of her colleagues the Bachelor of University Studies degree from the University of Maine in 1976. Jan was a 60-year member of the Dexter First Baptist Church, serving as a Deaconess, youth group leader, Sunday school teacher and member of the Flower Committee. She was also active in the Sunshine Club, Dexter Women’s Literary Club, American Legion, Dexter Public Health Association, Salvation Army, RN Guild, and served as an incorporator of the Plummer Associates and Silver Lake Housing. She enjoyed reading, knitting and gardening, especially enjoying her flowers. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brothers, Gordon (Todd), Philip and Waldo Rines; and her sisters, Winnifred Crocker and Maxine Lothrop. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Judy and Mark Johnston of Manchester, ME and her granddaughter, Elizabeth Johnston of Augusta, ME as well as many nieces and nephews (and ‘greats’) who were very special to her. The family wishes to thank her good friends for their frequent calls, notes and visits. Also a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses, volunteers and ancillary staff at Togus Springs Hospice Unit for the exceptional care and respect given to her as well as to her family and friends during her final months.

Eighteen members and one associate enjoyed a social hour. The tables were decorated with potted pansies for each member. While waiting for dinner to be served, Barb Austin conducted a few games. The first one was “What is In Your Purse?”. She had a list of items women carry in their purses and we had to see if we had them. Suzanne Raymond was the winner. Then each member told what their nicknames were and how we got them. Then she showed photos of members when they were young and we had to guess who they were. It was a difficult game but fun. A delicious dinner was enjoyed by all with desserts of brownie sundae or berry cobbler. Vicki Moschella gave a brief report of Spring Convention in Auburn.

Fernow, MD DOVER-FOXCROFT - In my last column I identified some of the basic elements required for an older adult to “Thrive in Place”. This includes having safety and security, discussed briefly in the previous column, maintenance of good health, support from friends, family and community, and connectedness. In this column I will discuss maintenance of good health. Very broadly, this involves both the medical community and the person and family working together to maximize health which will allow a person to age at home without institutionalization or illness. In our area there are many outpatient medical providers who are now available to supervise a person’s health care. Ideally, every older adult will identify a medical professional who knows them and evaluates their health regularly. Under Medicare many practices are organizing under the new concept of “Medical Home” which supports a wide range of services to keep a person well including a nurse navigator for people with multiple chronic illnesses, social workers to assist with care planning and counseling when needed, and medical assistants who can assist with screening, immunizations, lab tests etc. An older adult may be asked to come to the office for an “Annual Wellness Visit” in which medications (including over the counter medications) are reviewed for safety and appropriateness, all screening and immunization recommendations will be discussed as well as advice on healthy lifestyles, screening for falls, depression and dementia, counseling regarding advance directives, and referrals if needed. This visit will not include a full exam, but is a very important way of the PCP office to get to know you and work with you to develop a care plan. By doing this annually a practice will get to know your needs and your progress as you age and will pick up on problems before they become severe. For example if your balance is getting a little off this can be identified and exercises or PT evaluation may be recommended. Additionally, individuals and their families should be alert to the personal responsibilities that come with aging. This includes remaining active if possible, being alert for memory loss, depression, and risky behaviors such as standing on stools in the kitchen, taking lots of over the counter medications, or driving inattentiveness. Mainers are very independent and while I generally look at this as a strength, sometimes this leads to unrealistic assessments of one’s ability as they age. Unfortunately, this can lead to a crisis (such as a fall or broken bone) which could have been avoided if the person just sought assistance in the early stage of the problem (such as PT for balance training, or enrollment in a yoga class or senior exercise program). Getting older has many rewards including freedom from work responsibilities, enjoyment of grandchildren without the responsibility of a parent, and freedom to “sleep in” in the morning. But in order to enjoy ones older years it is essential to maintain best health possible. If you are interested in finding out more consult your medical provider or find a local senior program. For more information call Lesley Fernow at 992-6822 or Meg Callaway at 947-1410. To the Editor: Last Monday I had the dubious pleasure of attending a Public Hearing before the Environment & Natural Resources Joint Legislative Committee. While the purpose of the hearing was to find out what people thought about how the metal mining industry should be regulated, it seemed as if the legislators were not that interested in what regular people had to say. Our representatives seem willing to hand over the regulation of the mining to the very corporations who are doing the mining. While people gave impassioned testimony of the environmental damage that mining was likely to do, the legislators asked questions that seem to indicate they were only deciding how much damage they would allow. One of these legislators (these are people elected by us!) actually said that since there’s already arsenic pollution in the Bald Mountain area due to the minerals found in the rocks, what difference does it make if we add a whole lot more arsenic (plus some cadmium, lead and whatever else might be there) by pulverizing the rocks to extract the minerals we want. Right now the mining industry is limited by regulations enacted in 1991. What the Committee seeks to do is create new rules, designed to invite more mining to Maine, to extract our resources and theoretically provide a few temporary jobs. Are we a third world state? It was pointed out that these new regulations would apply to all of the state. There are many other deposits the industry would like to exploit. Few Another View on the committee (Representative Denise Harlow was the only overt A Memorial Day - A Time for Remembrance exception) seem to grasp that our water, necessary for our very lives, is all connected under the ground. Perhaps they think we can all just By Jan Dolcater switch to bottled water, and support yet another extraction industry. As we begin the long weekend for Memorial Day, I ask that you consider what significance that day has But even if we did, our animals and plants would all be poisoned. YOU may find a list of these malfeasants at http://legislature. for you and your family. Is it just a time for a day off and a long weekend for a cook out or BBQ? Actually, this day was estabmaine.gov/house/jt_com/enr.htm lished to honor those who died in conflict for our country. Please write them and express your displeasure!! Recently, I attended a Tea Party meeting where a young man, S/Sgt Travis Mills, was the guest speaker. Patti Dowse Travis is retired from the 82nd Airborne division where he was a jump master. At 25, Travis left his wife Cambridge and 4-month-old daughter for his third deployment in Iraq. In Iraq, shortly after his arrival on April 10th, 2012, he had the misfortune of stepping on an IAD which turned his right leg and right arm into powder. He also later lost both his left leg and lower left arm. Travis is only one of five quadruple amputees to survive this conflict. In spite of suffering this horrific loss, this young man on his prosthetic legs and with a prosthetic left arm gave an incredibly inspiring talk with a smiling countenance and a very engaging personality. At no time during his presentation was there indication that he looked for sympathy; instead his countenance exhibited strength both in faith and character. His motto is Never Give Up – Never Quit. His goal is to give and help other veterans to adjust to life again after suffering serious injuries. He has initiated The Travis Mills Foundation Retreat in Rome & Mt Vernon, Maine to provide a venue for disabled veterans and their families to spend time together and reestablish their lives. This program is provided at no cost to these veterans. The facility was the former Maine Chance Lodge formerly owned by cosmetic pioneer, Elizabeth Arden. To upgrade the facility for this proposed usage will cost an estimated $2.2 million and efforts have currently raised approximately $300,000. I ask that you consider giving thoughtful and careful consideration to supporting this project.

And, finally, keep this in mind: if you don’t have any plan, you are planning for failure.” I hope you will find it in your heart to help this program for the sake of this dedicated young man and so many others who have given so much of themselves for our country.

NEWS IN EDUCATION Maines and McAnirlin named to Colby-Sawyer College Dean’s List NEWPORT/ABBO -- Benjamin Maines of Abbot and Olivia McAnirlin of Newport were named to the Spring Dean’s List at Colby-Sawyer College. To qualify for the Dean’s List, students must achieve a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale while carrying a minimum of 12 credit hours in graded courses. Cody, Hayden, McHugh on Worcester Poly Dean’s List WORCESTER, MA - The following local residents were among 1,166 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university’s Dean’s List for academic excellence for the spring 2015 semester. Rachel Cody of Dover Foxcroft, Maine, is a junior majoring in chemical engineering. Haley Hayden of Hartland, Maine, is a senior majoring in chemical engineering. Mackenzi McHugh of Corinth, Maine, is a sophomore majoring in biomedical engineering. The criteria for the WPI Dean’s List differs from most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean’s List by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.

The truck will be used to train students enrolled in the Commercial Truck Driving program. Dead River Company decided to donate the truck after Safety Manager Mark Anderson attended a conference addressing the shortage of commercial truck drivers in Maine. Dead River Company also plans to donate another truck to the school, in the near future. According to the Maine Department of Transportation, more than 84% of Maine communities depend on trucks to move their goods, yet currently there is a shortage of 20,000 drivers per year. “The statistics just shocked me”, says Anderson. “There’s a big need out there and a lot of jobs to be had for trained drivers. I thought this was a great opportunity for us to step up and provide equipment to students with a passion for this kind of work, so they can succeed and get good 32:(5:$6+,1* &DOO x 0DQ\LQVXUDQFHFRPSDQLHVGRQRWUHTXLUHDSK\VLFLDQ VFULSWWRFRYHUSK\VLFDOWKHUDS\³FDOOXVZHZLOOFKHFN IRU\RX x :HRIIHU)5((FRQVXOWDWLRQVWRVHHLIZHFDQKHOS\RX ZLWKDFKHVSDLQVLQMXULHVRUSUHYHQWDWLYHFDUH x :LWK7:2FRQYHQLHQWORFDWLRQVZHFDQJHW\RXLQ IRUDQDSSRLQWPHQWZLWKLQKRXUV :LOVRQ6WUHHW %UHZHU0( &RULQQD5RDG 'H[WHU0( CAMP SPECIAL LET’S GET WET!

Currently 20 high school students and 5 adult education learners are enrolled in TCTC’s program. “Not every driver wants to become Class A and drive the big rigs,” says Vicki Kimball, the Commercial Driving Instructor at Tri-County Technical Center. “Offering Class B instruction for high school and for adult education students, opens up opportunities that translate into jobs. The donation of this vehicle is huge for us and we are excited that Dead River is planning on donating another one to the school. Now we have the tools to teach, and this training directly corresponds to jobs.” This isn’t the first time Dead River Company has made this type of donation. Beginning in 2011, the company made a multiyear, 11-vehicle commitment to The Foundation for Maine’s Community Colleges with a goal of enhancing the hands-on learning opportunities at the state’s community colleges. This $100,000 commitment of equipment was used in various operation and maintenance programs at community colleges throughout the state. “Dead River Company has made a commitment to education in ways that will make a difference in the lives of people in the communities we serve,” said Bob Moore, president of Dead River Company. “We are confident that our donation of these trucks will enhance the hands-on training for students at Tri-County Technical Center, and hope that this training will make them more successful.” “Our graduates are teachers, drivers, business owners and transportation officials,” adds instructor Kimball. “Dead River’s donation of these Class B vehicles opens up more opportunities for our students and if they’re willing to learn, we can give them the skills to succeed in their chose profession.” The Eastern Gazette * Your HomeTown AdVantage May 22 - 28, 2015 ANTIQUES WANTED Glass • Photography Books Furniture Art • Gold & Silver Almost Anything Old Rt. 7, Corinna 278-3400 Maynard & Tonya Ross HONEST & DEPENDABLE CALL US TODAY!
