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 rev-
erend’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.
community’s
support.
The pantry’s stock is very
low and the Deacons
don’t have enough cash
to purchase the turkeys
and fixings. The Deacons
are hoping to be able to
provide a Thanksgiving dinner to 80 families
again this year and make
plans for their Christmas outreach. An appeal
for help is going out to
the schools and the local businesses. Donation
cans have been placed at
the town office, Red Roof
store and Twin Bridge
market. Canned goods,
cash donations, gift cards
and turkeys would all be
gratefully accepted by
the Deacons and can be
dropped off at the Leeds
town office, the church
office, or mailed to Leeds
Community
Church,
attn: Deacons, P.O. Box
228 Leeds 04263. Watch
this paper and area bulletin boards for future
announcements. Let’s get
behind this effort to stock
the food pantry and help
those in need in our community. I’d like to wish
all of my readers a bountiful Thanksgiving and a
blessed holiday season. n
The Leeds Line
By Debbie Hite
Just got back from a
visit to Rome, Italy where
our son Tom is studying
this semester. We walked
our feet off, visiting the
many churches and ancient sites in the Eternal
City. Although each of
us had been to Rome 40
years ago, this time Larry
and I benefitted from our
own personal tour guide,
who was delighted to
show us around. We also
went to Siena and Assisi
in the beautiful region of
Tuscany. I’ll eventually
get some photos posted
on Facebook, so check
in with me there if you’re
interested.
The Leeds post office recently expanded
its hours of counter service: M-F, 7-10 a.m.,
1:15-4:15 p.m. Saturday
schedule is 9-11 a.m. For
hours of other facilities in
the area, go to www.usps.
com/locations.
I’ve had several inquiries about the level of
Androscoggin Lake. The
lake association ALIC
has been closely monitoring the lake, which
in October reached its
lowest level since July
1998. However, it was
only about a foot from
the recognized “normal”
reading of 269’ above
sea level. The alarming
reaction came from many
seasonal folks and recent
residents who had grown
accustomed to higher
levels resulting from wet
summer months of the
past few years. This September, however, was the
driest on record and August didn’t produce much
measureable precipitation either. Currently,
though, the lake is back
to “normal,” thanks to the
hefty storm of a couple
weeks ago.
The town is hosting a
rabies clinic on Sat., Nov.
8, from 9am-11am at the
fire station. Cost of the
vaccination is $10. Town
personnel will be available to register your dogs;
fee is $6 for spayed or
neutered animal, $11 for
others. State law requires
that dogs be licensed,
with the annual renewal
due at the end of the year,
so take advantage of this
opportunity.
Upcoming closures at
the town office and in our
schools include the following: Thursday, Nov.
6, half-day of school,
with parent-teacher conferences in the afternoon/
evening; Monday, Nov.
10, no school-teacher inservice; Tuesday, Nov.
11, no school and town
office closed in observance of Veterans’ Day;
Nov. 26-28 no school,
Thanksgiving
break,
town office closed Nov.
27-28.
The Leeds PTC would
like to remind community members that the current IGA Hometown Label Savers program ends
on Dec. 31. Each bundle
of 500 original UPC barcode labels from eligible
IGA brands is worth
$15. The group appreciates everyone who has
been collecting labels for
them, not only IGA bar
codes but also the General Mills box tops and
Campbells soup labels.
Keep them coming! Collection boxes are at the
town office, the school,
Red Roof store and Twin
Bridge market. Thank
you! The next meeting of
the Leeds PTC is Thurs.,
Nov. 13, at 4:30 p.m. at
the school; parents are
encouraged to attend.
This is the season of
craft fairs and holiday
festivals and there are
two very popular events
in our area. The Leavitt
Craft Fair is Sat., Nov.
8, at the high school and

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

flattening your stomach
they are great for your
entire core strength and a
healthy back.
Just do each exercise
every other day 3 sets of
12 repetitions and feel
you 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
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

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.

“Jam the Gym” at CMCC to Benefit At-Risk Kids
The men’s varsity basketball team from Central
Maine Community College
will be facing a somewhat
unusual team on their home
court on November 18.
They will be taking on the
Auburn Police Department
“All-Stars.” The game,
which is all in good fun, is
part of an event called “Jam
the Gym” is a fundraiser
that the college is hosting to
benefit the Auburn Police
Activities League (PAL).
The APD team will consist of officers of every
rank and skill level. “We
are pretty confident that we
will give them some good
competition,” said Chief
Phil Crowell. “They may
be younger and faster, but
don’t count us out – our
guys have �game.’ Either
way, it’s going to be a great
event!”
“Our goal is to pack the
CMCC gym with folks who
want to have some fun,”
said CMCC Athletic Director David Gonyea. Gonyea,
who is also the men’s basketball coach, serves on
the PAL Board of Directors
and had the idea to host

“Jam the Gym.”
“The boys are thrilled to
host the APD All-Stars,”
said Gonyea. “I sure hope
that they have been running
and playing daily to prepare. We know how badly
the PD wants to teach our
kids a lesson,” he joked.
“Seriously though, the college kids love games like
this one. Anything we can
do to help the PAL Center
is positive. Many of our
students volunteer at PAL.
They are invested and they
have a real bond with the
kids there.”
Auburn PAL is a non-
profit organization that provides after school and summer programs for Auburn
youth in the highest-crime,
lowest-income neighborhood in the city. Staff, officers and community volunteers mentor kids at the
Auburn PAL Center, which
opened a year and half ago.
“We took a look at our
calls for service, and 25%
of them were happening
within a ВЅ mile radius of
where the PAL Center is
now located,” said Crowell. “At PAL, these kids
now have a safe place to
spend some time, get help
with homework, have a nutritious snack, play sports,
and have a great time.”
“Jam the Gym” will be
held on Tuesday, November 18 at 7:00pm. Tickets
are $3 or 4 for $10 and they
can be purchased at the Auburn Police Department (60
Court Street), the CMCC
Bookstore, or at Republic Jewelry & Collectibles
(212 Center Street).

Morse Memorial Library in Greene will launch
a weekly family story time
on Saturday, November
1. The 15- to 20-minute
sessions will take place
at 10 a.m. each Saturday
until December 13. While
the program is best-suited
for kids ages 2 to 6 and
their parent(s) or adult
caregiver(s), younger and
older siblings are also welcome to attend. Leading
the sessions on alternate
weeks will be new Morse
Library volunteers Sandra
Fowler and Nancy Hinds.
Fowler is a retired educator who has worked as a
teacher and school librarian at the elementary and
secondary school levels.
She also worked as an assistant librarian at Belgrade
Public Library, where she
still leads a weekly story
time. She volunteers at the
Wayne Elementary School
Library and at the Cary
Library in Wayne Village.
She especially enjoys children’s stories featuring
multicultural themes.
Hinds is a retired educator who has volunteered
and worked in public
schools, including as an
elementary Title I reading and writing instructor. She is certified by the
State of Maine as a literacy
specialist and as a K-12
English as a Second Language teacher. She lives in
Greene with her husband,
Stanley, and their cat, Tiger Lily. She especially
enjoys children’s stories
featuring outstanding artwork and illustration.
“This is something
we’ve been hoping to do
for a long time,” said librarian Steve Bouchard.
“Reading to kids is so important, we hope families
will take a little time on
their busy weekends to
come over and enjoy some
great stories. As one of our
volunteers pointed out,
great children’s books can
be both fun and profound
at the same time, so we
really think this is some-
thing families can enjoy
together.”
Bouchard says that, after the holidays, he and the
volunteers will meet again
to discuss how the series
went and to plan another
series for winter-spring
2015.
Morse Library is located at 105 Main Street
in Greene Village, just off

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

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!

us anyway. Joining us on

her job four days a week),
she did the dirty work of

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

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
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 aliments. Riding a horse is
soothing, stress free, and
once 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 here), 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.

Boxtops for
Education
I would like to send out
a very grateful thank you
to everyone who sends
in their General Mills
Boxtops to the Hartford Sumner Elementary
School.
The proceeds are used
by the Nezinscot Valley
Music Boosters and the
HSES Student Council
to provide musical and
theatrical programs PreK to 12 and educational
prgrams (Slim Goodbody,
the Mad Scientist, Friends
of the Kotzschmar Organ)
to Pre-K to 6.
Parents, if your certificate or coupon has an
expiration date, send it to
school right away! Please
try to separate Campbell’s
labels from General Mills;
they are two separate programs. The School does
not use Betty Crocker
labels. If you have time
to trim the boxtops, that
is wonderful. When we
mail them in, we pay
for weight. I can’t give
enough praise and thanks
to Arlene and Morril Nason and Cindi Wallace
and her children, Jake and
Shelby, for the countless
hours they spent trimming
and bundling into groups
of 50 boxtops.
Because of those who
sent in boxtops, the classroom teachers who had
their students paste them
onto sheets, and my very
special volunteer clippers,
our school will be receiving a check for more than
$1600 in December.
We collect year-round.
So please save your boxtops and certificates,
along with the Campbell’s
labels, and send them to
the school. They can be
mailed (we have a loyal
Hartford resident who
sends them in) to:
Hartford Sumner Elementary School 145 Main
Street Sumner ME 04292.
It would be wonderful to end the school year
with more than $2,000 in
earnings.
If anyone has questions,
please call me at 3882667 or email me at norton@megalink.net.

The Healthy Geezer
By: Fred Cecitti
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 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
Donations Sought for Christmas Boxes
The
Cottrell-Taylor
Christmas Basket Fund
was established about 45
years ago in memory of
Henry L. Cottrell, a Monmouth principal and later,
Robert Taylor, a teacher.
Its purpose is to provide
Christmas dinners and
gifts for families in Mon-
mouth who are in need
during the holiday season.
The Committee is hard
at work and is accepting
donations for these families. We realize times continue to be difficult for all,
so we think it is important
to remember the children.
We were able to help 67
familes (128 children),
and 3 elderly couples
through your generous
contributions last year.
Your consideration is appreciated.
In addition to money we
are accepting new clothing, mittens, hats, gloves,
games, puzzles, school
supplies, and books for
kids of all ages which can
be left at one of the Monmouth Schools. If you
choose to donate money, a
check can be written to the
Cottrell-Taylor Christmas
Basket Fund. If possible
the committee would like
contributions on or before
December 3rd, but will
gratefully accept them at
a later date. The monetary
donations may be mailed

Medicare Annual Open Enrollment
Another year is winding its way down and low
and behold, Medicare
Open Enrollment is right
around the corner. 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. 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:
В·More companies available in more counties in
2015
В·Expanded
Medical
networks
В· 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.
В·Premium: Does my
current premium fit my
budget? Are there other
options?
В·Co-pays: Does my
current plan offer the best
and lowest possible copays?
В· Doctor/Specialist Network: Do I have a large
network of Specialists
and doctors to choose
from?
В·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.
Find a qualified agent,
and take advantage of the
changes for 2015! n

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

maybe spending more time listening
and watching, than expounding! This
becomes the wisdom of old age.

Stay Safe when Cleaning Gutters
Come the fall, when
trees start to shed their
leaves and winds pick up
in advance of winter, gutters can easily become
clogged with all sorts of
debris. When clogged
gutters are not cleaned
out, a host of potentially
costly issues can result,
making gutter cleaning
an essential autumn chore
no homeowner should ignore.
Fully functioning gutters direct water away
from the structure of a
home and into nearby
drainage systems. When
clogged, gutters cannot
direct that water away,
and the result is often
costly water damage to
the home’s foundation.
Water that is not directed
away may find its way into
the basement of a home,
causing issues with flooding and mold. But clogged
gutters also prevent water
from leaving a roof, possibly leading to costly
roof repairs and damage
to the roof that can put a
home’s inhabitants in danger. When snowfall accumulates on a roof, melting
snow needs to make its
way off the roof via the
gutters. If those gutters
are clogged with debris
leftover from the fall, roof
damage, including leaks,
is more likely to occur.
Clogged gutters also
make a welcome respite
for unwelcome pests,
including rodents and
insects. In the warmer
months, clogged gutters
may make an inviting
home to mosquitoes and
other pesky insects, while
rodents may seek the
warmth of clogged gutters
when temperatures dip to
near or below freezing.
Cleaning gutters is not
that complicated, and
many homeowners can
clear their gutters of debris in a typical weekend
afternoon. But the ease of
cleaning gutters should
not overshadow the safety
risks homeowners take
when climbing a ladder to
clear out their gutters. The
following are a few safety
tips for homeowners to
keep in mind when cleaning their gutters.
* Wear appropriate
clothing.
Loose-fitting
clothing should not be
worn when cleaning gutters. Such attire is a tripping hazard and can easily
compromise your balance
by catching on the gutter or ladder as you reach
to remove debris. Wear
clothing that does not
hang off of you and choose
pants that do not fall below your sneakers. Pants
that might be a little long
in the leg can catch under
your feet as you climb the
ladder, momentarily costing you your balance and
possibly leading to a fall.
When choosing footwear,
avoid old sneakers or
work boots without much
traction, opting instead for
footwear that easily grips
each rung of the ladder.
* Don’t forget safety
gear. Many people forget to wear safety gear
when cleaning their gutters. Such forgetfulness
increases your risk of injury. When cleaning gutters, always remember to
wear work gloves, which
can protect your hands
as you dig into gutters.
Should you reach into a
gutter without gloves on
and grab something sharp,
not only will you be cut
but also you may be so
startled that you lose your
balance and fall off the
ladder. In addition to work
gloves, wear a dust mask
and safety goggles when
cleaning gutters to prevent debris from getting
into your mouth and eyes.
* Work with a partner.
Cleaning gutters alone is
a recipe for potentially
devastating injury. Even
if you are not afraid of
heights, scaling a ladder
is not something to take
lightly. Ladders can be
shaky, especially on brisk
autumn afternoons when
the wind kicks up. Working with a partner when
cleaning gutters ensures
someone is below you to
hold the ladder steady in
case of a stiff wind or if
your jostling unintentionally shakes the ladder.
Working with a partner
also means someone is
there to seek help should
you fall off the ladder or
suffer another type of injury that requires medical
attention.
Home-Auto-Recreational-Business
* Use a trowel instead
of your hands. Digging
into the gutter with your
hands, even if those hands
are covered by gloves, is
an unnecessary risk that
can leave you susceptible
to injury. When cleaning
the gutters, dig out the debris with a trowel.
* Dump debris below
into a large garbage can.
When cleaning the gutter,
do not carry a bucket with
you to the top of the ladder. Carrying something
as you climb up a ladder
only increases your risk of
injury. In addition, a bucket full of debris placed at
the top of a ladder may
tip over and compromise your balance. When
dumping the debris you
dig out with your trowel,
dump it into a large garbage bin below. If you
miss the bin every now
and again, you can always
sweep up after the job is
completed.
Few homeowners look
forward to cleaning their
gutters. But such a task
is necessary to prevent
water and roof damage to
your home. When cleaning the gutters, remember
to place safety at the top
of your priority list. - Metro n

“My interest in photography was sparked by
my love of nature and the
outdoors,” Marquis says.
“I have been an avid bird
watcher and kayaker for
some 20 years. Both of
these pursuits afford me
many photo opportunities.”
“My favorite types of
photography are birds,
nature close-ups, landscapes and cityscapes .
. . opposite ends of the
photographic spectrum,”
he adds. “Landscape photography allows me to
show the grand picture,
the scenes that people
pass daily, but may not
see. With my close-up
images I try to illustrate
the patterns and colors
that nature offers to those
who are willing to take
the time to look for.”

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 RecoveryВ® 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

“High school Outing
Clubs are the most effective way we have found
for engaging teens in
their natural world, with
the potential to make
fun safe outdoor experiences accessible to every Maine student,”said
Carol Leone, Teens To
Trails Founder. These
schools were awarded
support funds totaling almost $7,000 from Teens
To Trails to help more
teens get active outside.
These grants were made
possible by ongoing support from L.L.Bean and
individual donors.
Since the inception
of the Grants-to-Clubs
Program in 2008, T3
has awarded 93 grants
in support of Maine high
school Outing Club programs (totally close to
$45,000) thanks to the
support of Maine businesses and foundations
as well as many heartfelt
personal donations.
This year, assistance
with transportation costs
helped to eliminate
one huge hurdle these
schools face in getting
their students outdoors.
In addition, these grants
allowed Outing Clubs to
purchase needed outdoor
gear & clothing, obtain
safety training for leaders, cover recreational
fees, and ensure trips
are accessible to all students regardless of their
financial situation. Megan Stanley (Ashland
District School Outing
Club Advisor) summed
it all up when she wrote
“Thank you for awarding this grant to the
Ashland District School
Outing Club. In a small
school, this means many
of our kids will get to
participate without worrying about the cost.”
Along with introducing many teenagers to
the outdoors for the first
time, Teens To Trails is
thrilled to be able to give
a boost to these amazing individuals who see
the "tremendous value of
healthy physical activity" in helping "to keep
kids happy and healthy
and on-track in school"
while also "promoting
good social skills with
peers and adults" as Wiscasset High School Prin-

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.

To Recovery program or

Retired Maine Game Warden John Ford Sr., 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.”

beyond with their hilarious

Magical, Mystical Moments
(Is that you God?)
I stopped writing “to-do”
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 clos-
er 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.

Christmas Bake Sale
Tommy’s Feral Felines
will hold its annual
Christmas Bake Sale on
Saturday and Sunday,
December 20 and 21
from 9 am to 5 pm at
Sports Trader located
at 707 Main Street in
Lewiston which is next
to Cumberland Farms
and across from Burger
King Due to a lack of an
available indoor venue the
event will take place in a
tent in the Sports Trader
parking lot.
In addition to a wide
variety of delicious treats,
coffee and hot chocolate
will be served. There
will also be a 50-50 raffle
along with other prizes.
Tommy’s Feral Felines
is a volunteer, no kill
organization
which
receives
no
official
funding and relies solely
on donations and the
results of its bake sales
and yard sales to keep
going. Tommy’s strives
to support abandoned cats
that live a feral existence
as a result of human
abandonment.
Volunteers build and
maintain outdoor shelters
to help protect the cats
through all kinds of
weather. Not only do they
bring food and water for
the cats but they stay with
them while they feed so
they can eat free of fear
from predators. The paths
to these shelters must be
cleared after each snowfall
or heavy rain. Some of the
shelters are hundreds of
feet into the woods one
shelter is a mile in.
Tommy’s also provides
spaying and neutering,
vaccinations and medical
care for sick and injured
animals. While some
cats come from too many
generations of feral living
to be domesticated, for
the ones who can be,
Tommy’s provides foster
care and rehabilitation,
with the goal of eventual
adoption.
Because this is a
popular two day event we
can use as many baked
goods as possible and
we are always looking
for bakers to add to our
roster. So many of us bake
during the holiday season
anyway so why not turn
out an extra dozen cookies
or whatever your specialty
is and donate it to an
organization that really
needs support. Winters
here are cold and long and
it takes a lot of funding to
do the work that Tommy’s
does. It will give you a
warm holiday glow to
know you’ve helped. If

Aruba: An Inviting Winter Getaway
Most people visit Aruba for its white sand beaches.
Aruba has a variety of landscapes, including cactus.
The Dutch colonial architecture of many buildings
comes in a variety of pastel colors.
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-
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 interesting museums.
The Archaeological Mu-
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 drag-
lying areas 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
seum 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
