Ed Solar of Berlin holds a cane he carved an eagle atop as a tribute to a disabled service member. The cane’s shaft and collar were crafted by the Maine Woodturners. Solar handcarved the eagle head and personalized the cane for Effingham’s Stephen Tessier, a former sergeant in the US Air Force, who served during the Cold War according to Solar. He plans to deliver the cane to Tessier this week. Solar is a member of the Great North Woods Carvers, a wood carving club in Berlin that meets at E&S Rentals on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. The cane was crafted as part of the club’s participation in the Eagle Cane Project, a movement that began in Oklahoma but has gained traction nationwide.

BERLIN — Kyle Newton nearly failed senior English, not because he couldn’t write, but because he could. Now more than a year later, the 2010 BHS grad has published his first novel. Newton said his writing got in the way of assigned writing during his senior year, as he admittedly found it difficult to switch gears between the story he was crafting and the assignments he had decidedly less interest in. His 12th grade English grade makes little difference now, though, as a triumphant Newton shows off his shiny new book — Allegiance of a Soldier — the first in the Betrayer Series. The fully committed 19 year old author— he turns 20 in a couple of weeks — has two more stories planned for the series and then possibly a spin off series in mind. Book two has already been written Newton said.
Newton’s book is a quasi-medieval fantasy based in a make-believe world dreamed up by the young writer. No small feat, Newton not only mapped the world, but also crafted 200 years of history to flesh out his characters and storyline. The 279 page story features a soldier in the fictional country of Rairal, recently returned from war

and now subject to nightmares and flashbacks. The soldier retreats to the woods to find solace and is unexpectedly arrested and imprisoned with no explanation. Newton said the storyline was inspired by events happening to his family that he was able to flip and adapt into this tale. “Whenever I’m stressed I’m able to write really, really see GRAD page 17
