One student from each campus of the University of Maine system has been selected to pursue a year-long program of applied research in the area of Maine public policy. The scholars are Andrew Radford, University of Maine, Augusta; Charles Young, University of Maine, Farmington; Victoria Boone, University of Maine, Machias; Kasandra Foster, University of Maine, Presque Isle; Kari Beaulieu, University of Southern Maine; Alexandra Courtney, University of Maine, Orono; and Travis Powers, University of Maine, Fort Kent. This year, the seven policy scholars traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of their orientation. They met with Senators Angus King and Susan Collins; went on a tour of the senate with Democratic Secretary Gary Myrick, a Guilford native and UMaine graduate; and interviewed policy experts. During the academic year, the scholars work with faculty advisors to research a policy issue facing Maine. They produce a report, in the form of a memo to Maine’s governor or appropriate policymaker, which outlines the issue and offers policy solutions. On May 1, the scholars will present their reports to a panel of policymakers. We’re not talking turkey!

GOSLINE INSURANCE GROUP The www.centralmainetoday.com Good News Gazette November 2014 Page 3 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 sleepy 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 Fall 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. SAVINGSContinue at Dave’s 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.

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 Belgrade Lakes Marine & Storage Inc. is Expanding If you have seen the large new building going up just before the Belgrade Regional Health Center, it is the latest expansion of Belgrade Lakes Marine & Storage (BLM&S) (www.belgradelakesmarine.com) (207-4952378) at 366 Augusta Road (Route 27) Belgrade. Demand for affordable covered boat, automobile, travel trailer, and RV (recreational vehicle) storage has filled BLM&S to capacity the last several years resulting in the need for further expansion to continue to service customers. With the completion of the latest building, BLM&S will have three buildings offering over 21,000 sq/ft of covered storage (Note – 9,000 sq/ft is down Farnham Road and not visible from the highway). Joan and Dick MacKenzie of Day’s Real Estate have been critical to the growing success of the business over the last several years. Construction of the building by Lajoie Brothers of Augusta with extensive site work by Kevin Hawes in preparing the WANT TO WIN THIS CAR?

The new building is 60 X 160 (9,600 sq/ft) feet with four large overhead doors 14 feet tall and 20 feet wide to accommodate the largest RVs and longest travel trailers. Electrical and alarm service is available in the new building and will better serve owners who require their vehicles to trickle charge the battery during the winter. All buildings are fully enclosed with concrete floors and storage rates range from $24/foot for 10 months to $29/foot for the larger vehicles and those requiring electrical connections. Storing a typical 16 foot boat, protected from the damaging winter weather and sun damage, typically only costs about $40 a month and is priced competitively with the less desirable shrink wrapping offered by others. Since 1999, the owners have seen a greater demand for storage of automobiles, travel trailers, and RV’s in addition to the expected boats and pontoons. Many returning custom- ers from Maine and the New England States, as well as Florida, California, and Arizona and other states have filled the existing facilities. Storing a boat, car, travel trailer, or RV for summer use – protected from winter snow loads and ice damage and the sun obviously makes sense for many folks. Recently, the owners, Tom and Dianne Dowd, moved from Massachusetts to devote more time in “semi-retirement” to their property in Belgrade and devote more time to the expanding business. Tom had inherited an 180acre farm in 1966 and has tried to preserve the property, but at the same time looked for ways for it to pay its way. Even in 1966, boat storage was being provided in the original barn. In addition, their first grandchild to their daughter and son-inlaw, who also live in Belgrade, prompted the move. Any questions on storage can be directed to 207-495-2378 or the website www.belgradelakesmarine.com. n who have been staying away in droves.

ALL SEASON GARAGES Volunteer Drivers Needed Getting to and from medical treatments is one of the greatest concerns cancer patients face during treatment. To ensure patients get to those much-needed treatments, the American Cancer Society provides free rides through its Road To Recovery® program. The Society is currently looking for volunteer drivers in Maine so that all patients have transportation when they need it. An estimated 9,270 Maine residents will learn that they have cancer this year; however getting to their scheduled treatment may be a challenge. “One cancer patient requiring radiation therapy could need anywhere from 20 to 30 trips to treatment in six weeks,” said Elisa Madore, Mission Delivery Specialist for the American Cancer Society. “A patient receiving chemotherapy might report for treatment weekly for up to a year. In many cases, a patient is driven to hospitals or clinics by relatives or friends, but even these patients must occasionally seek alternative transportation. That’s where the Road To Recovery program comes in.” “The program not only helps patients, but is also rewarding for the volunteer. Several of our drivers have volunteered for a number of years,” added Madore. For additional information about the Road To Recovery program or to volunteer, call 1-800ACS-2345 or visit cancer. org. About the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threat- ened by every cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the Society’s efforts have contributed to a 20 percent decline in cancer death rates in the U.S. since 1991, and a 50 percent drop in smoking rates. Thanks in part to our progress nearly 14 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. We’re finding cures as the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more.

City Arborist Steve Murch is seeking a Spruce tree that is 35’-45’ tall with a “good full shape and single stem.” The tree needs to be easily accessible, i.e., not growing into power lines and not in a backyard, and it also needs to be located within the City of Lewiston. If interested in donating such a tree, residents may contact City Arborist Steve Murch at 513- 3003, X3443; TTY/TDD: 513-3007 or via smurch@ lewistonmaine.gov. The City Arborist will inspect suggested trees, and by mid-November, the owner of the selected tree will be notified. In addition, the City will return to the donating resident’s property in the spring to grind the stump and loam/seed the area. n Direct Mail Works! Call 225-2076 LET US HELP YOU GROW YOUR BUSINESS.

Just do each exercise every other day, 3 sets of 12 repetitions, and feel your core tighten, see your stomach flatten and improve your posture. The best thing about these movements is that you can do them all standing. No floor mats or heavy equipment needed and you can actually sneak a few in while you are at work. Give these a try: Jodi Cornelio Live Long, Live Well Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and Motivational Speaker [email protected] Listed below are five exercises you can do anywhere to flatten your stomach. Not only are these exercises good for 1. Slow motion front kick: Stand with straight posture, lift right knee belly button height then extend your leg out straight, draw it back in and toe touch the floor to the starting position. Repeat 12 times. Repeat on the opposite leg. 2. Side Bends with or without weights: Heavy weights are not necessary if you are trying to thin the waist line. The exercise is exactly how it sounds. Just point your index finger to your baby toe and 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. Live Long, Live Well. n Sudoku Answers Puzzle on page 5 All Across America The Unite States of America is the land that I love and call home. So I proudly pledge my allegiance to our flag.

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 A fox pup at the Duck Pond Wildlife Care Center. Contributed photo. 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. Note: Carleen and Donald Cote operate the Duck Pond Wildlife Care Ranger School Graduate U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Ryan C.

With all the priorities we have day to day, it is easy to forget that there is an incredible opportunity each year with Medicare Open Enrollment. If you are like the average senior here in Maine, you are likely receiving a daily mailbox full of advertisements trying to sway you to change to a new Medicare Plan. While the insurance carriers may think it’s an easy decision to make a change, it’s not that easy. Doing the paperwork for a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage Plan may be a relatively easy process but it’s not always easy to sort through the pile of options available from year to year. Maine has historically not had that many options available, but in 2015 more companies have come to the state to offer a greater selection of benefits, lower premiums, and co-pays. 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 blueyellow 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 deficiencies 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.com. n While we all want more options and expanded benefits, we are not always ready to make the change because what we have may already work just fine. Every year is the same, you open your mailbox or grab the stack of pamphlets and flyers off the counter and you sit down to sort through the mess. Marketing companies spend billions to get your attention, and a full mailbox of shiny brochures may do just that. Some of these flyers really stand out, and some may not, of course it’s not until you read them do you see the subtle differences that most plans offer. Many of those plans really are comparable, but everyone has a reason to be on one plan or another. Now that you have sorted through the mess, tossed out what you thought wasn’t interesting, you have likely found a few things that have peaked your interest. Now what do you do? This is the yearly task that most seniors face and for most of you, it’s more than probable that you have given up and you just throw all that paper you get in the mail right in the circular file. But hold on a minute, because doing the status quo for this year’s Open Enrollment may not be the best choice and maybe, just maybe 2015 is the year for a change. Here’s what you need to know: ·More companies available in more counties in 2015 ·Expanded Medical networks · Premium Changes Ok, so now that you know some of the highlights, the real question is what those companies are and what are the details of those new benefits? While it’s not appropriate to go into details here, there are ways to sort through the mish mash of options and get right to the answers. Here is a short list of items to consider when doing your Medicare Plan review. ·Premium: Does my current premium fit my budget? Are there other options? ·Co-pays: Does my current plan offer the best and lowest possible co-pays? · Doctor/Specialist Network: Do I have a large network of Specialists and doctors to choose from? ·Additional Benefits: Are there any additional benefits that a new plan may offer? While the list above is not a comprehensive list, it certainly is the best place to start for most seniors to considering while contemplating a change. Now I’m sure It’s entirely possible that as you read this you be asking yourself; Why do I need to change at all? Well I submit for your consideration that to ignore the changes in the market for 2015 may just be a lost opportunity. If you really feel paralyzed and fearful that change is dangerous, I suggest that you find an expert to help you sort through the piles of options and make sure that a solid and meaningful Open Enrollment benefits checkup is done. There is a dearth of competent Insurance Agents out there that specialize in the senior market; they spend countless hours training to remain on top of the newest options available.

In 1862, three decades after the house was built by Capt. James Hall in the early 1830s, James and Harriet Blaine moved in. The home became the setting for one of the most meteoric careers in American politics, during which James Blaine served as Speaker of the US House of Representatives, US senator, secretary of state, and Republican candidate for president in 1884. After the deaths of her parents, the Blaines’ daughter Harriet Blaine Beale gave the house to the state in 1919. Since 1920, it has served as the official residence of the state’s governors and their families. As a symbol of “The Blaine House” state government, it ranks with the Maine State House. The house has been a National Historic Landmark since 1964. Architecturally, it reflects a combination of Federal, Victorian, and Colonial Revival styles. Today, the Blaine House functions as a social showcase for Maine, a working office, and family living quarters. A native of Portland, Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., attended Deering High School, Colby College, and Boston University and was the recipient of honorary doctorates from Bowdoin College and the Maine College of Art.

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 program are becoming more and more popular all over the cover. More farm 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 were 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 ali- Teresa J.

The www.centralmainetoday.com Good News Gazette Page 18 “Food for Thought” Luncheon Retired Maine Game Warden John Ford Sr., pictured at left, and retired Maine State Trooper Mark Nickerson are on tour in the great state of Maine in response to repeated requests for their “Blue Lights and Funny Cider” Seminar. They are coming to USM’s Lewiston Auburn Senior College campus on Friday, November 14 at the popular Food for Thought 11:30 luncheon. The public is cordially invited to join us. John Ford Sr., a native Mainer, comes from a long line of Maine Game Wardens. His mother rehabilitated wildlife and rescued Susie and raised her to full grown as depicted in the picture. (The coon will not be on tour.) John was sworn into the Maine Warden Service shortly after finishing up a four-year stint in the U.S. Air Force. He spent his 20 year warden career in Waldo County. Upon his retirement in 1990, he was elected as county sheriff and re-elected in 1994. John has written a local newspaper column and is a regular contributor to the Northwoods Sporting Journal and has two books under his belt, “Suddenly The Cider Didn’t Taste So Good” and “The Cider Still Tastes Funny.” He also is an artist known for his wildlife artwork. He lives with his wife in Brooks, Maine. Mark Nickerson originally studied to become a dentist, but the lure of police work was enticing so he followed in the footsteps of his father, Millard E. Nickerson, who was Director of the Bureau of Criminal Investigations of the Maine State Police. Mark joined the Maine State Police in 1977, graduating that year from the 34th Maine Criminal Justice Academy. He first served in Troop C- Skowhegan and later in Troop D-Thomaston during his 28-year career with the Maine State Police. After retiring, Mark wrote columns about police work for “The Citizen” in Belfast and later for the “Knox County Republican.” His stories were later compiled into his book “Blue Lights in the Night.” Ford and Nickerson regale audiences in Maine and beyond with their hilarious stories of law enforcement “back in the day” based on stories from their best-selling books. They have taken their show on the road and are on Tour throughout the Great State of Maine and leaving the folks behind rolling inthe aisles!

I stopped writing “todo” lists many years ago when I found myself getting frustrated that the list was longer than the day. Never able to get all of my list accomplished was causing me to be angry, so I simply stopped writing lists. What gets done, gets done, everything else will still be there tomorrow. It is a fairly good philosophy, but I still find that I keep a list in my head and subconsciously check off things as they are finished. Some days I wake up and feel like I will never get to do the things I want to do, because I am always trying to do the things I am supposed to do. Occasionally, I wake up exhausted from doing too much the previous day, yet when I look at what I did, nothing has been checked off from my list (the one that I don’t write down anymore). It’s like running on a treadmill, you exercise your body but you don’t get anywhere. Running around and doing things, yet feeling like nothing got done. Then I look a little bit closer at what I did accomplish. I met some people who needed a sympathetic ear to listen, so I listened. I was thinking about a friend I haven’t heard from in a long while, so I sent an e-mail. I baked my husband’s favorite cookies and got to see his eyes light up like a little boy. I wrote a sympathy card and a note to a close family friend who had lost a loved one. When I think about it, I am so glad I stopped writing lists.

The www.centralmainetoday.com Good News Gazette November 2014 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 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 sevenmile 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 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 areas of Holland.

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 ceilings 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 Page 19 The Dutch colonial architecture of many buildings comes in a variety of pastel colors. interesting museums. The Archaeological Museum is housed in a cluster of colorfully 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 days. A mini-promenade along the main street is lined by shops and restaurants, but the biggest draw in town is Charlie’s Bar. Beginning in the early 1940s, scuba divers who dropped by attached their underwater finds to the walls and ceiling, creating what today is a bric-a-brac heaven. Virtually every inch of available space is adorned with automobile license plates, paper money and business cards from around the world, and other mementoes too varied and numerous to list. The main claim to fame of Paradera village is its location close to two intriguing sites that were sacred places to Indians. The Ayo and Casibari rock formations consist of huge boulders that rise up from the desert terrain. Over time, prevailing winds have carved the rocks into unusual shapes which, with a little imagination, resemble birds and dragons. Steps have been carved into the rock at Casibari and those who climb to the top enjoy a panoramic view of the island. Some of the stones at Ayo still bear petroglyphs scratched and painted onto the surface by Indian artists. Those boulders rising from a flat, stark landscape provide a setting very different from the white sand beaches of Aruba. Both are among the somethingfor-everyone variety that makes the island an inviting winter getaway destination.
