“Twenty-Two million
Americans are military
Veterans. They are men
and women who have
earned benefits because of
their service and sacrifice.
Yet too many Veterans do
not know what their ben-
efits are, Who to talk to or
how to claim them” Said
Rick Nugent the Anderson-Staples post service
officer. “The American
Legion exist to help each
and every Veteran, their
families, and the communities they live in. The
Oxford Hills is an ideal
place to strengthen partnerships with the Veterans
and the community.

Why Do People Rob Banks?
John McDonald
The famous bank robber Willy Sutton, when
asked why said: “Because
that’s where the money
is.” He later claimed he
never said it and that a reporter made it up, but it’s
as good a reason as any to
rob a bank and so it will
continue to be quoted.
In our town, it didn’t
take much to get people
talking, so when our small
branch bank was robbed,
people could talk of little
else. And the way it happened was a little different.
One morning, the new
branch manager, Handy
Pinkham, got a call from
the town’s chief-of-police, who said he had received a reliable tip that
the bank would be robbed
sometime that morning.
The chief hastened to say
he shouldn’t be concerned
because he would be on
the scene and would arrest
the robber as soon as he
stepped out of the bank.
He thanked the chief for
the call and then called
his two tellers into his office to tell them what was
about to happen.
Less than an hour later
a young man walked into
the bank and over to a teller. He then handed her his
hold-up note. She calmly
filled his canvas bag with
bricks of 20-dollar bills,
handed it back to him and
he left. The whole thing
took less than three minutes.
As soon as the robber
was gone the manager
and tellers ran to the front
window to watch the daring arrest. But no arrest
occurred. The robber
walked calmly to his car,
got in, started it and drove
off.
The bank manager hurried into his office, looked
up the police department
number and called. When
someone answered Handy
Pinkham said: Hey, chief,
did you get him?”
“Get who?” the chief
asked.
Turns out the original
caller was the robber and
he made off with over
$10,000 with his clever
scheme and he’s never
been apprehended. The
chief admitted it was a
brilliant robbery and people in town are still talking about it.
On the dumb end of the
robbery scale is this amusing but true story.
According to the Huffington Post, a Dallas Wells
Fargo bank teller risked
her life and thousands of
dollars on a bet that a rob-
ber at her window would
be stupid enough to comply with her request that
he show two forms of
identification.
But sure enough, her
bet paid off. As Maine
storyteller Kendall Morse
would say the robber
“had a room upstairs that
wasn’t finished.” So, the
numb robber actually took
the time to search through
his pockets and wallet to
produce the two requested
IDs - which turned out to
be his Wells Fargo debit
card and a state ID card.
The teller then stalled
even more while slowly
and carefully copying
the robber’s information.
Thanks to her efforts, au-
thorities had ample time
to arrive on the scene,
while the robber was still
patiently waiting for her
to return his IDs.
Pugh was apprehended
when he tried to flee the
bank with $800. He was
later found guilty of bank
robbery and sentenced to
an eight year prison term.
He was already on parole
for two other aggravated
robberies.
There’s no word on
whether or not the teller
was rewarded for her savvy risk. Regardless, she
helped make a story that
will be talked about in her
town for a long time. And
that’s what’s important. n
Deer Season: Early Returns
V. Paul Reynolds
The November deer
season has come and
gone. Hard to believe.
Those still waiting to fill
the freezer have a week
to two weeks to close
the deal (depending upon
which wildlife management area you choose to
hunt).
What kind of a deer
season was it?
The Maine Department
of Inland Fisheries and
Wildlife (MDIF&W) customarily releases the deer
harvest numbers in early
spring, so we won’t know
anything conclusive until
then. Meantime, though,
we can sort through the
so-called “anecdotal evidence” and the assorted
comments from the regional state wildlife biologists.
Before the season started, Kyle Ravanna, the
state deer research leader,
went out on a limb and
predicted that this fall’s
deer harvest would be
about 25,750, or 20 percent more than last year’s
deer harvest. This is good,
but a far cry from the halcyon days of Maine deer
hunting, when the annual
deer kill invariably exceeded 30,000.
It will be interesting to
see how the harvest numbers pan out. My wholly
unscientific guess is that
the overall harvest will be
less than Ravanna’s projection.
Here are my reasons. At
the hunt’s half-way point,
the regional biologists,
while trying to be optimistic, seemed to be hedging
their bets. Region A biologist, Scott Lindsay,
said, “numbers may be
down a bit from from last
year.” The Central Maine
biologist, Keel Kemper,
observed “a slow start to
the season,” which he attributed to an excessive
amount of snow cover in
the woods early on. In the
Moosehead area, biologist Doug Kane said that
“Things are pretty good.”
He noted that there had
been fewer deer tagged
right in the Greenville
area, but more deer were
being seen in his northern sector. The Penobscot
region? “Deer season is
going pretty well,” said
biologist Mark Caron.
Ironically
enough,
Aroostook County, which
has had a struggling deer
herd, is having one of
its better seasons in a
long time. Of course, everything is relative: the
County has endured a
long famine, deerwise.
It’s good to see even a
modest rebound of the
big-woods bucks!
My north woods hunt
club, the Skulkers of Seboeis, spent a week at
deer camp. My fellow
skulkers hunted diligently
under somewhat adverse
conditions: bitter cold,
high winds, and extremely crunchy, noisy conditions. No deer were taken,
although there were some
sightings. The snow-covered woods seemed to
tell a story that was being
heard all around the state:
a late rut this year, perhaps as much as 10 days
or more later than usual.
Sebec outfitter John
Poole, who operates The
Rockin P Sport Lodge,
shares this view. Midway

through the hunt he and

bucks just weren’t tracking the does.
There are always exceptions to the rule, however. Hunting one of my
deer honey holes, during
what is generally regarded as the peak of the rut
in mid-November, I was
pleasantly surprised to
find lots of fresh sign including multiple scrapes
and rubs. An all-morning

PAL Fundraiser with Central Maine Community College
Auburn’s Police Activities League, in cooperation with Central
Maine
Community
College, held a fundraising basketball game
on November 18 at the
CMCC gymnasium. It
featured the PAL All
Stars against the Mustang boys’ varsity.
The funds raised by
PAL will be used to
provide educational and
athletic activities for
at-risk children in Auburn. The organization
also promotes much
interaction between the
police officers and the
community.
Many CMCC students
volunteer
in
the Police Activities
League and the school
is honored to invite the
All Stars of the APS
into their midst for this
fun competition.
The PAL organization opened a Center
on Chestnut Street in
2013 after the Auburn
City Council voted to
turn over the property
to them.
The Center in the
heart of Auburn has
been refurbished thanks
to the generosity of
many community partners. The Center serves
children
between
grades three through
eight, providing after
school and summer
programs.
November’s
basketball game featured
about 15 players on
each team. The PAL
team included Police
Chief Phil Crowell and
Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonte. It also
featured a couple former CMCC players and
PAL volunteers.
The
well-attended
contest was tied 38-38
at the half, and the winners of the “Jam the
Gym” event were the
children of Auburn. n
Western Maine Health
volunteers were celebrated and recognized
for their dedication and
commitment at the annual
volunteer luncheon in the

on Friday, October 17th.
Sharon
Nightingale,
Volunteer Services Coordinator, thanked volunteers for the significant
contributions volunteers
make throughout the year.

So. Paris Student Earns Scholarship
CMCC Student Receives MEREDA Scholarship
South Paris resident is
one of seven Maine community college students to
receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Maine Real
Estate & Development
Association.
Cody Timberlake of
South Paris, a secondyear student at Central
Maine Community College (CMCC), has been
awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Maine
Real Estate Business &
Development Association
(MEREDA) for study during the current academic
year.
A graduate of Oxford
Hills
Comprehensive
High School, Timberlake
is an honors student in
the Building Construction Technology program
at CMCC. He is one of
seven Maine community college students to
receive the scholarship
from MEREDA, awarded
for the first time this academic year. To qualify for
the scholarship, students
must be a Maine resident,
have financial need, and
be enrolled as a secondyear student in the building trades, architecture,
construction, engineering
or business program at a
Maine community college.
The funds for the
scholarships were raised
through MEREDA’s annual “Strikes for Scholars” bowl-a-thon in May.
The association’s goal is
to raise enough each year
to fund at least one scholarship at each of Maine’s
community colleges and
support Maine students as
they prepare for careers
in areas of study that promote MEREDA’s mission
of responsible development and ownership of
real estate throughout the
state.
“MEREDA is pleased
to be helping to meet the
financial needs of students
at the seven campuses
of the Maine Community College system statewide,” said Mike O’Reilly
of Bangor Savings Bank,
the current MEREDA
president.
“Providing
scholarships to students
who hope to get into real
estate related fields contributes to the mission of
MEREDA which is supporting responsible real
estate
development.”
More information is available on the MEREDA
website at http://mereda.
org/. n

President of Operations Shelly Clark. At right is CMCC Dean of Planning & Public

5 Secrets for Enjoying the Holidays without Gaining Weight
Jodi Cornelio
Live Long, Live Well
Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA
Nutritionist, Personal Trainer
and Motivational Speaker
[email protected]
Let’s face it none of us
are going to hibernate this
Holiday season and if you
are hesitant about attending holiday parties with
friends and family because
of the fear of gaining the
additional 8 pounds that all
the studies predict, fret no
more. You can have fun and
maintain your weight and
health at the same time with
these 5 little secrets.
1. When invited to bring
a dish to a pot luck party,
make something healthy
that you know you can eat.
Veggie plate, fruit plate,
deviled eggs are a great nu-
tritious plate, turkey meatballs made with eggs and
ground turkey and seasonings, skip the bread crumbs
and any additional fats or
oils.
If you add extra eggs to
the ground meat the meatballs will hold together just
fine. Chili is another great
choice. Make it with lean
hamburg or even chicken
and add beans, chopped
green pepper, onions, jalapenos and tomato sauce.
Yum.
2. As far as alcohol, hard
to attend a party without a
holiday cheer, yet we all
know alcohol has empty
calories. There are better
choices if you can’t stick
to club soda or water, reach
for a glass of wine. Wine
is still a better choice than
eggnog. Better yet add
some club soda to your 4
oz. of wine to stretch it and
make you feel not so deprived. This will give you
fewer empty calorie and
fewer hangovers.
3. When baking pies, and
specialty breads for the holidays use, ricotta cheese,
plain yogurt, applesauce or
smashed banana in place
of butter, shorten or oils to
eliminate the fat.
4. Stay away from the
whites and starches that can
trigger food cravings and
over eating. These included, white flour, sugar, white
potatoes, white rice, pasta,
white breads and cereals.
Here are some suggestions:
• Choose bean salad instead of potato salad
• Choose brown rice over
white rice
• Choose whole grain
crackers or breads over the
"white" ones
• Choose seafood or protein, veggie or fruit dishes
over starchy dishes
• Choose red or white
wine over eggnog and other
sweet drinks
• Just say no to desserts
and rolls, biscuits, white
flour and sugar
5. Don’t give up on your
exercise routine even if
you are short on time. If
you are used to walking for
one hour a day and you are
short on time still follow
your routine and if you can
only walk for 20 minutes
today that’s ok 20 minutes
is better than nothing. Still
go to the gym if you can
only be there for 30 minutes or if you can only take
half a spin class its ok it
will still keep you in your
routine and get you through
the holidays.
If you are at Holiday parties, dance as this is a great
way to sneak in some fun
exercise. You will be surprised how many people
will join in.
Try to sneak in some exercise as you cook, turn the
music on and dance around
the kitchen. After dinner go
outside and play catch with
the dog for 10 minutes. It
all adds up and it takes you
away from the food counter.
I run up and down the
stairs with my cat while
I’m waiting for the coffee
to perk. That way we both
get exercise.
This holiday season,
go out and enjoy, people,
friends and family. Make
smart food choices and
sneak in a little exercise
along the way.

Nothin’ But Small Talk…Christmas Traditions
Jess Small
Years ago I started a
Christmas Eve tradition of
going on a trail ride with one
of my horses. It is always a
peaceful time, taking a step
back to enjoy the quietness
and beauty of nature and to
relax during what tends to
be a busy, stressful holiday
season. Fresh snow always
makes it more festive and
the horse a little feistier
too! 2012 was the last year
I was able to take my horse,
Cee, on our holiday ride.
I even recorded parts of it
as he charged up the trail,
head tossing, snorting, and
galloping, with me laughing and giggling. That is
a ride I will never forget.
2013 was the first Christmas without Cee in the barn
in 15 years but this year my
girls, Cocoa and Chilly, and
I are excited to introduce
Oat & Carrot Christmas Cookies
1.5 Cups of Oats
2 Whole Carrots
1/2 Cup of Molasses
2 TBS of Water
our new young addition, Jameel, to our holiday horse
traditions. Candy cane bran
mash will be on the menu
for Christmas Eve dinner
and homemade horse treats
as snacks for the next week.
We also are hoping for
good weather, unlike last
year, so we can make our
annual holiday party and
jump off at our trainer’s
barn. A fun time with great
horse friends, delicious
food, a fun gift swap, and
fun games is a must for any
barn!
During the holiday season, people spoil loved
ones with special gifts.
For many, this includes
the horses in their lives.
While riders might appreciate a new pair of boots or
apparel, horses will likely
prefer some yummy treats.
Preparing horse treats can
be fun any day of the year,
but even more so around
the holidays. It can be a
family activity or one you
can do with friends from
the barn.n
Easy No Cook “Apple Snaps”
4 Cups Bran (Wheat or otherwise)
4 Cups Unsweetened Applesauce
1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
2. Run the Oats and Carrots through a food processor
to make into a fine, flour like meal
3. Combine in bowl with Molasses, sprinkle in water
until moist and mix well
4. Form small balls of the mixture, size based on the
size of the cookie you want (I try to keep my no
larger than a spoonful)
5. Place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet,
squashing them slightly flat as you go.
6. Bake in oven for approx. 25 minutes, or until the
treats have dried out to your preference. 25 minutes
should provide a dry, crunchy treat.
7. Wait to cool, serve to willing animals and people!
1. Mix ingredients together until batter is doughy
2. Roll out batter with rolling pin
3. Cut into squares or shapes
4. Allow dough to dry (takes about 24 hours) and serve
Beckett would be angry if I didn’t include a fun new
holiday dog treat recipe for all his friends too, he is excited to try this recipe!
Sweet Potato Puffs
1 small sweet potato
1 medium ripe banana
½ cup applesauce
2 cups brown rice flour
1/4 cup flax meal
1 egg
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
My horse, Cee, and I enjoyed one last Christmas Eve
ride in 2012. Remember to spoil your furry family
members during this holiday season too!
Cook sweet potato in microwave for roughly 3 to 4 minutes to soften.
Cut in half and scoop out the sweet potato.
Mash together sweet potato and banana.
Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on greased baking sheet.
Then flatten each ball with your finger. (If you want to cut out cookie shapes then add
more flour to make dough less sticky and easier to work with).
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah
and more from my family of furry kids to you and yours! Remember
to take time to enjoy your animals and spoil them this holiday season as
they are as much a part of your family as the human members!

Foundation Awards Annual $25K for Kids Grant
Androscoggin Bank’s
MainStreet
Foundation announced that
Androscoggin
Children’s Advocacy Center
(ACAC) has been named
the 2014 recipient of its
annual $25K for Kids
grant. The award was
presented at the MainStreet Foundation annual
meeting held November
20, 2014 at the Ramada
Inn and Conference Center in Lewiston, Maine.
Focused on its mission of
providing the three essentials of life – food, shelter
and security – to as many
children as possible, the
$25K for Kids award was
presented to ACAC to
help it provide expanded
support to children in
Androscoggin, Oxford
and Franklin counties
who are victims of sexual
abuse.
ACAC is a child-focused center based in
Lewiston that promotes
the healing of victims of
sexual abuse. The ACAC
is a place where children
who have been abused
can be interviewed by
a specially trained forensic interviewer in a
child-friendly,
secure
environment, rather than
be interviewed multiple
times by those who need
information (law enforcement, DHHS, etc.).
ACAC is a community
initiative that provides
a safe environment for
child abuse investigations
and treatment, supporting
a multi-disciplinary approach to work with the
victims, their non-offending parent(s) and other
members of the family.
Their primary goal is to
ensure that children are
not further victimized by
the intervention and legal
systems designed to protect them.
With only one forensic
interviewer currently on
staff, ACAC interviewed
205 kids as of October 2014. The ACAC’s
growth since its inception
in 2005 shows an investment of the multi-disciplinary team approach to
the investigation of child
abuse cases and the recovery of child abuse victims and their families.
The $25K for Kids grant
will allow ACAC to pursue advanced forensic interviewer training, add a
multi-disciplinary trainer
to its personnel and offset
operating costs.
MainStreet
Foundation’s mission is simple,
focused and essential:
to help keep kids safe,
healthy, active, happy,
educated and nourished.
The $25K for Kids annual award is even more fo-
cused on the three essentials of life – food, shelter
and security. According to
Melissa Rock, Vice President and Marketing Manager of Androscoggin
Bank,
“We
chose
Androscoggin Children’s
Advocacy Center as the
2014 $25K for Kids recipient for its work insuring the security of kids
who are victimized by
sexual abuse. ACAC’s
behind-the-scenes work
is so vital to the treatment and long-term recovery and protection of
victimized children. With
this grant, ACAC will be
able to provide its childfriendly
interviewing
model to more kids and
will expand its support to
more families who must
protect those kids from
further abuse or trauma.”

Androscoggin Children’s
Advocacy Center, visit
www.acacme.org.
ACAC was one of three
finalists for the $25k for
Kids award. Chosen from
a a pool of numerous applicants, My Place Teen
Center in Westbrook, an
after-school program for
Greater Portland’s at-risk
youth and New Beginnings, an emergency shelter for homeless youth in
Lewiston, were the other
two finalists.
This is the second year
that MainStreet Foundation has awarded this
annual grant. In 2013,
the grant was awarded
to the Good Shepherd
Food Bank’s BackPack
Program in Lewiston and
Auburn Schools.
About Androscoggin
Bank’s MainStreet Foundation
The MainStreet Foundation is Androscoggin
Bank’s $1,000,000 Foundation with a mission that
is simple, focused and
essential: to help keep atrisk kids in Maine safe,
healthy, active, happy,
educated, and nourished.
Four times a year, MainStreet Foundation makes
grants (up to $5,000)
to excellent non-profit
agencies actively working in our communities
to help kids thrive. These
grants vary based on the
need and typically exceed $50,000 per year.
In 2011, Androscoggin
Bank pledged to donate
$100K to the MainStreet
Foundation in honor of
outgoing Bank President
Steven A. Closson. With
this gift, MainStreet is
able to offer four $25K
individual grants – one
in each year starting in
November of 2013. The
winner of the $25k for
Kids Award for 2013 was
the Good Shepherd Food
Bank and their weekend
food backpack program.

Magical, Mystical Moments
(Is that you God?)
My glass is always half
full, except for those rare
days when it is half empty. Recently on Facebook
there has been a challenge
going around for people to
share 100 days of happiness. When I first saw it my
thought was “easy-peasy.”
Pretty much I can find
happiness in all situations.
However, as I reflected on
it, 100 days is over one
quarter of the year.
While I tend to see the
good in every situation,
it is unlikely that I could
have 100 days in a row that
are all happy. As if on cue,
shortly after thinking this I
had a particularly difficult

day.
Difficult days when we
face difficult circumstances we experience difficult
emotions. Sometimes we
are sad, or angry, or depressed. That’s just life and
our humanity giving us a
challenge.
The key to success is to
remember that no matter
the emotion we are feeling,
we do not need to lose faith,
hope or love. Those are the
certainties that will help us
overcome our emotional
short comings, making our

A Legacy of 17,493,528 Meals
On Saturday I attended the funeral of
Joseph N. Brown, 90, my mentor and
my friend. In my 20s, I worked for him
at RI Meals on Wheels in downtown
Providence. It was there that my interest
in gerontology started. I was amazed at the
difference one simple meal could make
in a person’s life. I remember climbing
WRWKHUGÀRRURID3URYLGHQFHWHQHPHQW
delivering a meal to a gentleman in his
VWLÀLQJEDUHGXVW\DSDUWPHQWDQGKRZ
grateful he was for that meal, because it
helped him stay home instead of going
to a nursing home.
Joe Brown started RI Meals on Wheels
as a graduate student at the University
of Rhode Island. Starting with donated
space at Grace Chapel the program
became the only statewide Meals on
Wheels program in the country – all this
before Meals on Wheels was funded
under the Older Americans Act. He then
ZHQW RQ WR EHFRPH WKH ¿UVW SUHVLGHQW
of the National Meals on Wheels
Association. By the time of his death,
this one program has served 17,493,528
meals to Rhode Island residents.
He inspired me, he encouraged me as
I studied gerontology, and he cheered
when I told him I was directing the Meals
on Wheels program at SeniorsPlus.
It is a program of simplicity, but of huge
consequence. I call them “magic” meals,
giving each person nutrition, a safety
check and a connection with the outside
world – all for the price of one simple
meal.
One of the “jobs” of aging is to consider
your legacy. What of your life’s activities
will pass on to another generation or the
world? Joe Brown’s legacy– every one of
those 17,493,528 meals meant someone
stayed at home one more day, where they
wanted to be. And if that wasn’t enough,
I’m where I am, at SeniorsPlus, doing
the job I love, because of him.
