Welcome Back to Bear Pond Welcome Back to Bear Pond is an annual celebration and supper thrown by the North Turner Presbyterian Church to let all of our friends from Bear Pond know we are glad they are back. This celebration is scheduled for Friday, June 26 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the GAR Hall on Route 219 in North Turner. Each year more and more of our annual pond visitors have discovered our public suppers and lend their support to the effort, so it seems only right that we all celebrate their return.

The summer of ’08 marked our first “Cookbook Tasting Suppers” and they were received so well that we have decided to continue with at least one each year. All the dishes featured at this supper come from the church cookbook “Blissful Bread.”

There is a large variety of casseroles, salads and desserts which make an appear-

ance at this supper including Pig Pickin’ Cake, traditional baked beans, pineapple casserole, mac and cheese and various breads. It seemed to be the wide choice and variety that brought such raves from those attending last year.

We have a few cookbooks left that will be for sale at the supper for anyone finding a favorite dish they have to make and, as always, the church members will look forward to visiting with everyone and catching up on local happenings.

We also would like to welcome anyone looking for a church to stop up any Sunday morning at 9 a.m. and get acquainted with our congregation. We always welcome new faces and we have begun a Sunday School program for those families with small children. It takes place during worship services from 9 a.m. until approximately 9:45. n

well as contribute to an organization that supports so many valuable programs in the community. Rich Bateman, General Manager of Farmington Ford, and Peggy Willihan, with the Office of Communication and Public Affairs at Verso Paper Corp.’s Androscoggin Mill, have volunteered countless hours to organize this event, ensuring an incredible experience.”

Interested individuals or businesses can sign up for the tournament for $125 per person ($500 per foursome), with all net proceeds to benefit the United Way of the Tri-Valley Area. Interested teams are invited to contact the United Way office at (207) 778-5048 or info@ uwtva.org for more information.

Riverlands Park in Turner Bill Van Tassel

The first of a series of public meetings held by the state Bureau of Parks and Lands in Turner took place on May 20 at Leavitt Area High School. About four-dozen people came to meet with staff members of the Bureau and the Advisory Committee for the Androscoggin Riverlands State park proposal.

The Riverlands is a unique, unsettled 2600acre swath of land along the Androscoggin River in Turner and Leeds. It has been owned by the state since 1990, a purchase of the Land for Maine’s Future Program. Several groups of local citizens wished to keep the area free from development and open to low-impact recreational use. These groups have worked with the state since 1990 to maintain trails for hiking, biking, snowmobiling and ATV riding.

After some introductory comments by Will Harris and Kathy Eickenberg from Parks and Lands, the floor opened for public comments on the proposed state park.

Leading the discussion was the hired landscape architect, Stephen Mohr. “Our purpose in this series of public meetings is to listen, listen, listen and gather, gather, gather data.

We have no set agenda,� he told the audience.

Sterling Hinkley of Turner, who used to own a piece of the property, gave a brief history of the land’s value to his family and friends that live along this eight-mile stretch of the river. In a prepared statement he talked of his family using the area since 1959 for traditional uses like hunting, hiking, etc. He did not want to see any roads for cars passing

through the park, but was not against a well-caredfor multi-purpose trail system.

Many at the meeting, however, were concerned with ATV usage, as were a few folks with mountain biking trails becoming overly popular. Sheryl Peterson, who lives on Pleasant Pond Road, uses the Riverlands for family walks. Peterson would like to see limited use with trails marked for different levels of biking. “I don’t want to be out there with my son on his tricycle and chance getting run over by a mountain biker‌.â€? She added later, “I moved her from Auburn. I’d like to see Turner keep its rural character.â€?

Nick Bruno talked about the inaccessibility of an area bordered on one side by a river and the other by privately owned land. “How are you going to get timely medical assistance to an injured person who’s four miles into the park?� He was also concerned about the increased popularity of the park causing the need for more and bigger boat ramps and parking areas.

Jim Weston of Greene did not want to see the Riverlands become “like Reid State Park with its gate and admission charge.� Jim Ray, also of Greene, voiced a complaint about the changes to Bradbury Mountain State Park in Freeport where biking trails were put in. “Before the paint dried on the new Bradbury sign, they (park directors) reneged on the promise of hunting on half the land,� he said. “I camp along the Androscoggin.

I’m concerned about the safety of hunting in the future with more people out there.�

Game Warden Dave Chabot spoke up for the ATV and snowmobile clubs who have worked

hard in maintaining the trail system and encouraging drivers to operate their machines responsibly. Shirley Twitchell said that although she has enjoyed four-wheeling with her three boys for years, she had real concerns about “policing� the ATVs. “Roads that we had made in there were trashed by fourwheelers.� She added, “The state had to close the south-end picnic area (by the Chickadee Restaurant) because they couldn’t police it.�

While some in the meeting expressed hopes of opening up the south end (Conant Road) end of the Riverlands for easier recreational access from Lewiston and Auburn, others like Twitchell see it as a potential problem.

An Auburn resident who visits the Riverlands on occasion simply asked, “Why do we need a ‘park’ in the first place?�

Jonathan Labonte, executive director of the Androscoggin Land Trust answered “It’s already a

state park. What we’re talking about is just capitalizing the ‘S’ and the ‘P’. We want some management stationed there on the ground to insure good stewardship.�

Turner Town Manager Eva Leavitt asked about funding. Mr. Harris explained that there is no money available at present to actually do anything in the Riverlands. “We’re putting together the plan now, so that we have something concrete to present to the Legislature.� If and when the final proposal is approved by state lawmakers, then financing the project will be considered. The tentative goal of a completed proposal is the end of 2009.

Americorps volunteers are scheduled to be in the Riverlands this summer to help the state Parks and Lands people determine where to place future bathrooms, trails, entrance sites, etc. They will also be available to educate and help visitors about the park. n

Turner Public Library Has A Lot Going On

Horses of Legend At TPL

June has arrived, and as of Tuesday, June 2nd, so has The Literary Horse exhibit at the Turner Public Library, where it will remain throughout the month inspiring programs and activities related to horses, both inside and outside the library. The exhibit of 100 photos of horses and riders with quotations from the world’s great books are likely to get readers of all ages going to the library’s shelves for readings of an equine nature. Significant programs related to the exhibit of horses of literature will be offered on Saturday, June 3rd, according to Librarian Vicki Varney, when the creator of the exhibit which is now touring the country will be present for the Children’s Story Hour. While this is happening in the Library for the younger children, older children will be introduced to live horses outside the Library by Epona members, those young people who are members of the regional chapter of the Pony Club. Varney said a number of programs are in planning stages to be offered throughout the month, and urged those interested to call the library at 225-2030 for more information or drop in from 12 to 7 on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 9:30 to 12 on Saturday. All suggestions for programs and activities of an equine/literary nature are welcome.

A Turner Public Library volunteer holds just one platter of beautiful strawberries that will join many, many others to feed hundreds of Turner area residents eagerly awaiting the most delicious strawberry shortcake offered

by TPL staff, volunteers, and trustees at Turner’s annual Festival on the Green. The community-building event will be held this year Saturday, July 4th beginning with the parade at 10 a.m.

Summer Reading Program Lines form everywhere on Independence Day in Turner for the popular events offered at the Festival on the Green, to be held again this year beginning with the parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 4th.

The Leeds Line

by Debbie Hite

June already upon us!

Lots of year-end school activities before it all comes to an end on Friday, June 17, which is a half day district wide. The Leavitt graduation ceremonies are Sunday, June 7 at the Colisee.

At Leeds Central School, the farewell celebration for sixth graders will be on

Wednesday, June 10. Principal Pam Doyen, who came to LCS at the end of October 2006, will also be saying her good-byes this month as she is heading over to Greene to be principal there. A search committee, which includes two local parents, Michelle Hathaway and Bob Allen, is in place to find a candidate for the Leeds position.

Good luck to everyone making a transition at this time.

As I've done the past sev-

eral years, I'd like to salute our Leeds graduates, be they high school or college, in my next column. Many people enjoy reading about the students they remember as youngsters and the information can be helpful to those just approaching the question "what do I do after graduating?"

So, if you would like to be included, please contact me by e-mail pushywoman@aol.com or by phone (524-2009) with

your graduate's future plans (college, grad school, apprenticeship, tech training, military service, job prospect, etc.). Feel free to add any other pertinent information such as special honors or awards. I'll be making some phone calls myself, as I try very hard not to overlook anyone. Congratulations and best wishes to all of our grads!

Looking ahead to August, the first day of school has

Lewiston Paint and Wallpaper Celebrates 20 Years!

Lewiston Paint and Wallpaper will kick-off their 20th anniversary celebration this Saturday, June 6th.

From 7:30am to 1pm, you are invited to join the guys at 516 Sabattus Street for breakfast, special promotions, giveaways and sur-

prises.

Twenty years ago, President Mike St. Pierre started Lewiston Paint on Bartlett Street. After 5 years in that location, they relocated to their current location. Talking with St. Pierre, it is apparent that he is passionate

about what he does. He is proud of how far they have come, continuing to grow in the face of a struggling economy.

How do they do it? Easy: Expert product knowledge and superior personal customer service. He credits

If you're going to Stinchfield beach this summer or using the launch, please be aware that there are ordinances posted at the entrance to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment. Be respect-

ful of the natural resources, park in the designated areas, and be aware that the gate is locked at 9:00 p.m. If you're someone who appreciates Androscoggin Lake, you might be interested in supporting ALIC, the lake association whose mission is “to preserve and protect” the lake by monitoring lake water quality, checking for invasive aquatic plants, promoting good conservation practices and networking

his veteran staff. Between Mike, Mike, Dave and Paul, there is over 75 years of experience in the paint industry!

When asked about competition, Mike certainly won’t say anything negative. What he will say is that as far as pricing, no matter what the big box stores advertise, Lewiston Paint and Wallpaper offers competitive prices every day, not just certain days.

And at Lewiston Paint, the staff members are truly experts in the business. The focus is paint and wallpaper – that is it!

And as for service, they guarantee that if there is a problem or question, you will get an answer or solution. If it means they have to come out to the site, they will. Everyone that works there is empowered to make the customer happy.

It is fascinating to learn about this business. The products have changed over the years, especially paint,

with state agencies and other organizations. Basic annual membership is $20, with donations of any amount being tax deductible. Checks can be mailed to ALIC P.O. Box 307 Wayne 04284. ALIC's annual potluck breakfast meeting will be held on Saturday, August 15, at the Yacht Club in Wayne. You can learn more about ALIC and the lake by visiting online at www.androscogginlake.org. n

which, Mike points out, will be changing even more due to environmental regulations and laws. One thing that won’t change: You will find only the top quality products from names like Benjamin Moore, Muralo and Cabot. If you need something that isn’t on the shelf, they will order it for

you, no problem. It is all part of the formula for success at Lewiston Paint and Wallpaper. So, to thank everyone who has made this business a 20-year success, you are invited to their celebration.

Lewiston Paint and Wallpaper…A paint store. Not a paint department! n

Nothin’ but Small Talk‌The Horse and Human Bond Jess Small

When the champion racehorse Barbaro met a tragic end after an 8-month battle to recover from his injury suffered in the Preakness, there was an outpouring of emotion. People cried for the gallant colt, but some were not so sympathetic, stating, “So what? He was just a horse.� Just a horse?

These people obviously needed some education and explanation on the horse and human bond.

Man’s partnership with the horse began thousands of years ago. These days the horse plays little role in the day-to-day way of living but, believe it or not, over

100 million horses, donkeys, and mules still power Third World countries. We all know that horses played a vital role in the development of the United States and most other countries.

Today most horses serve as pets, hobbies, and companions.

We all grew up reading about the famous horses such as the Black Stallion, Flicka, and Fury. Do you really think it’s possible to form such a bond with a horse as the characters in those books did so that your horse would save your life when in danger? Many people, including me, believe it’s true. A bond of this type can be formed with lots of patience, understanding, and quality time.

Spending leisure and playtime with your horse makes you one of the herd.

You become a friend and a companion. Walk with your

Comedy, Passion, Mystery, Revenge: It’s All at The Theater at Monmouth!

With the cost of travel and accommodations today, isn’t it great to know that you don’t have to take your family, romantic date or social group out of state for an unforgettable experience!

The Theater at Monmouth, The Shakespearean Theater of Maine, is a yearround repertory company of professional theater artists from across Maine and the United States. A steadfast champion of the classics, The Theater at Monmouth brings exceptional shows to Mainers and summer visitors alike. Performances are held in beautiful Cumston Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Founded in 1970, the Theater is proudly celebrating its gala 40th season with a great repertory of shows, socials and special events.

One such special event, The Theater at Monmouth’s popular Black Fly Follies, returns on June 27th, an annual party and fundraiser filled with comedy and music. Seats sell quickly for this special event, so buy your tickets now!

A one-day showing of Oh Captain, My Captain, Walt Whitman’s Lincoln tribute, written and performed by Bill Van Horn, will celebrate our nation’s independence on July 3rd at 7:30 pm.

ble, so that news updates and specials can come to you! The following is a listing of our summer shows in brief. For full descriptions and tickets, go to: www.theateratmonmouth.org.

Our summer season opens with Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s delightful comedy of love and reunion. If you want to introduce the kids to Shakespeare, this is the play to start with! You won’t want to miss a minute of this intriguing mixture of shipwrecks, disguises, riotous fools and the triumph of love. Directed by Janis Stevens.

Next up is The Mousetrap, Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit! A raging blizzard strands an unlikely group of guests at Monkswell Manor. When a sergeant arrives to question them about a nearby murder, everyone suspects everyone. Who will be the next victim? Directed by Dawn McAndrews.

Hamlet is the most famous play of the English language.

Consider our version Hamlet reloaded: a fast and furious actionpacked tale of betrayal and revenge. The classic penultimate scene unfolds into bloodshed. Directed by Jeri Pitcher.

Georges Feydeau’s A Little Hotel on the Side is French farce at its best.

Monsieur Pinglet seeks an affair with his best friend’s neglected wife, Madam Paillardin. Desperate for excitement, she agrees. They go to an isolated hotel for

privacy. An evening of antics, mistaken identities and sexual innuendo ensues. Directed by Davis Robinson.

For family entertainment: Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows is a classic tale of friendship and adventure that will delight parents and children alike.

Mr. Toad’s obsession with motorcars lands him in prison. His vacant home, Toad Hall, is overrun by weasels.

Escaping prison, Toad seeks his friend’s help to recover his home. Directed by Kate Galvin.

Our 40th season closes with the quintessential New England musical, Carousel.

Widely considered Rodgers and Hammerstein’s finest work, this beautiful, touching show will be a celebration of community as professional leads are joined by a chorus of community members. Directed by Bill Van Horn, musical direction

by Marcia Gallagher.

Throughout the month of May, The Theater ran a spring tour of The Three Little Pigs as a musical adaptation, performed in schools across the state from Springvale to Presque Isle, inspiring more than 20,000 children with compelling cultural theater that also happens to be a lot of fun.

Humans have constantly changing energy fields and our horses are able to pick up on whether we are happy, sad, scared, or angry.

You can’t lie to a horse!

Simply understanding how a horse’s survival skills work will help you bond with them.

Cumston Hall is one of the crown jewels of Maine. To the chance passerby it comes as a startling surprise, towering dramatically over Main Street. Its exquisite stained glass windows and asymmetrical design capture the imagination. Theater enthusiasts from all over New England know the hall as the home to the Theater At Monmouth, Maine’s Shakespearean theater. But for Monmouth’s residents, regular visitors and longtime friends, Cumston Hall is more than a remarkable building or intimate theater- it represents the heart and center of the Town of Monmouth. Listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings since 1976, Cumston Hall is a valued architectural gem. While Dr. Charles M. Cumston donated the funds for the building to the Town of Monmouth in 1899, it has always been a gift shared with the community at large. a special relationship with a 20-year-old Arabian mare who became my best friend, taking care of me on my first trail ride, at my first ever horse shows, and teaching me about horses in general. She would run from everyone in the pasture but me, and we would hit the trails all by ourselves, and she refused nothing I asked of her. She served as a great mother, trail buddy, show horse, parade horse, child’s mount, pony ride mount, compan-

ion, and friend to her owners for over 25 years. That beautiful mare passed in May at the age of 35. Aanah was an amazing horse that I know shared a special bond with those who were close to her. She touched the hearts of many and will never be forgotten.

So just remember to spend some time with your horse – just hang out, be its friend and the rewards will be plentiful.

Maine Named Third Most Bike-Friendly State

The League of American Bicyclists has named Maine as the third most bike-friendly state in the country. Maine rose three spots in the 2009 ranking, based on a 75-item survey covering legislation, education, policies and programs, infrastructure, evaluation and planning, enforcement and efforts to encourage people to bike for transportation and recreation.

“Our ranking is a tribute to 17 years of advocacy by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine (BCM) working with local bicycle advocates, bike shops and clubs, supportive legislators and MaineDOT to improve cycling conditions in our state,” said Allison Vogt, BCM’s executive director.

“The Maine law requiring motorists to give three feet of clearance when passing bikes has become a model for other states,” Vogt said. “The Bicycle Coalition of Maine partners

with MaineDOT to teach bicycle safety to 10,000 schoolchildren each year, and we manage the state’s Safe Routes to School program. We train police officers about bicycle safety and the law. We also work with state agencies on an effective Share the Road media campaign.”

Vogt said that Maine still has much to accomplish to improve bicycle safety and access. BCM’s top legislative priority this session is implementing Complete Streets policies ensuring that roads are built to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians as well as motorists. A Complete Streets bill now is before the Legislature’s Natural Resources Committee, and similar legislation is being considered at the federal level.

“Now more than ever, Maine people are using bicycles to improve their health, save money, protect the environment and enjoy

DAVIS INSURANCE AGENCY

our beautiful state,” Vogt said. “We have a great opportunity to build on this success.”

“Creating bike-friendly communities will reap economic benefits by helping Maine attract residents, businesses and more bicycle tourism. Until every road is safe for biking, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine will continue to work as the voice of Maine’s bicyclists to improve conditions for biking through increased funding, better roads and by spreading the word to Share the Road.”

Maine was number six in the League’s initial ranking of Bicycle Friendly States last year. Washington and Wisconsin have held the number one and number two spots, respectively, for both years. More information about the 2009 rankings can be found at www. bicyclefriendlystates.org. n

The Dempsey Challenge is a charity event to benefit The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patrick and I became friends after working together on the Amgen Breakaway from Cancer project,â&#x20AC;? said George Hincapie, 5-time Olympian and co-owner of Hincapie Sportswear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We share a passion for cycling and we both want to do our part in the fight against cancer. Cancer and the terrible suffering that it can bring have touched me and my family. I understand the

importance of this kind of support. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to participating in the event.â&#x20AC;? The October event will feature four bicycle routes, a 5-Kilometer Walk/Run and a Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fun Run. The event will also include prerace festivities and an event-day Festival for the whole family.

Hincapie Sportswear is making the custom cycling jerseys for the event. These jerseys will be used to raise additional funds for the Patrick Dempsey Center.

"It's an honor to have someone of the caliber and class of George Hincapie joining the ranks of The Dempsey Challenge," states Patrick Dempsey.

"George is a cycling legend and his presence will add to the excitement and enthusiasm already building around The Dempsey Challenge.â&#x20AC;? The

registration and informational site for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dempsey Challenge: A Journey For Hope,â&#x20AC;? www.dempseychallenge.org, features interactive registration tools for participants and volunteers, as well as maps of the various event courses and other details. Although the event will offer incentive fundraising opportunities for participants, no fundraising minimums will be required.

For more than 50 years, the Hincapies have dedicated themselves to excellence in the sport of cycling. Through Hincapie Sportswear, they are combining the lessons they have learned on the road with excellence in customer service, quality craftsmanship and stylish designs, to create the most comfortable, functional and stylish cycling apparel in the world. n George Hincapie

Dottie Dymples ~ Cheddar Chatter: Enjoy These Cheese Recipes Shirley Toncer

Cheese. We all love cheese, but where did it all start? Well, the story goes that a nomad was traveling across the hot desert and he had a sheepskin bag with fresh milk in it. When he stopped for a drink, he found it had curdled from the heat and the motion of the camel. He found it very tasty. Now, you will have to decide whether this is true or a fable. All I know is that people have been enjoying cheese for centuries.

Now cheese is made by mixing milk and rennet, which curdles the milk.

The curds form at the top.

The whey that is left in the bottom is drawn off and the curds that are left are pressed into rounds to make hard cheese. In 1802 the people in Cheshire, Massachusetts, presented Thomas Jefferson with a cheese weighing 1,235 pounds!

The United States is the leading producer of cheese in the world. I believe that every family has their favorite cheese. It’s not just for toasted cheese sandwiches or mac and cheese.

It can be used in many different dishes such as hors d’oeuvres, dips, main

Salary Secrecy Bill Is Insult to Taxpayers

Last year, the cause of openness and honesty in state government took a big step forward. A website called MaineOpenGov. org was created to post the names and salaries of everyone on the public payroll some 90,000 people, including state employees, school employees and other public employees.

The site caused a big stir when it first appeared. The salary information was already in the public domain, but the website made it easily accessible. As a general principle, the public has a right to know who is working for state government and how much money they are making. After all, the taxpaying public foots the bill.

Indeed, the term “public employee” says it all. If they work for the public, the people paying their salaries expect full disclosure. It's all part of keeping government honest and accountable.

The website was such a major advance towards openness in government that the site's manager, the Maine Heritage Policy Center (MHPC), was recently voted the winner of the Sunshine Award, presented annually by the Maine Freedom of Information Coalition. The award recognized that the MHPC was performing a valuable public service by making sure public spending was transparent, a Maine tradition that dates back to the earliest town meetings.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the forces of censorship and secrecy to strike back. A bill now moving through the Legislature (LD 1353) would hide the names of all employees

on the public payroll - town managers, road commissioners, teachers, state workers and all the rest.

The bill is sponsored by nine legislators, all Democrats. The chief sponsor, Democratic Senator Lisa Marrache, defended the bill in a column in the Kennebec Journal. She said the practice of publicly identifying the names and salaries of government employees was “sleazy.” One of the bill's cosponsors, Senate President Elizabeth “Libby” Mitchell, was quoted in one article as saying the website is an attempt to “harass and embarrass” government employees. The idea of “salary harassment” seems a bit farfetched. The key word here is embarrass. The insiders in Augusta were not happy when Mainers began combing through the website and finding some very interesting facts about the state payroll.

They looked at the governor's salary, for example, which comes in at about $70,000. Then they discovered that 2,041 state workers make more money than the chief executive. That's right - more than 2,000 state employees make more than the governor.

Overtime pay is another eye-opener. According to data on the website, 413 state employees racked up more than $10,000 in overtime last year. The total overtime compensation of these same employees was more than $19 million, which works out to an average of just over $46,000 apiece. Some of these workers earned more in overtime than they made in their regular salaries.

SUMMER TENT SALE!

Rep. Gary Knight

Rep. Tom Saviello

With information like that getting out to a population already hopping mad about high taxes, it's no wonder the Augusta insiders are trying to put a chokehold on transparency. But this time they are running into resistance. It is a rare event when the editorial writers of Maine newspapers attack a bill proposed by a Democrat, but they have come down on this one like an avalanche.

The Brunswick Times Record editorialized that the Marrache legislation “would put this state back in the dark ages with respect to Maine's Freedom of Access law.” It called LD 1353 “a misguided piece of legislation that deserves a quick death at the committee level with a unanimous 'ought not to pass' recommendation stamped across the document.” The Lewiston Sun Journal weighed in with this critique: “Increasing government secrecy is never good policy; but that is exactly what we're looking at with LD 1353, a bill to censor public salaries at all levels of government. Public workers are paid with taxes and fees wrestled from our collective pockets. We have an absolute right to know

where that money is spent every penny of it.” The Ellsworth American was just as blunt. In an editorial of April 16, the editors wrote: “It is the height of arrogance for any public employee to assert that his or her salary ought to be hidden from the view of those taxpayers who are paying it. And the effort

by Marrache, Mitchell and their Democratic colleagues to impose such secrecy is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of Mainers who have every right to such detailed salary information.” The Marrache bill is officially entitled “An Act Regarding Salary Information for Public Employees.”

It made its formal debut on April 30, with a public hearing before the Judiciary Committee. This attempt to turn Maine government into a secret society is a disgrace to the Legislature.

It should be defeated. {The bill was defeated subsequent to writing this report.} Submitted by Reps. Gary Knight and Tom Saviello Have a different opinion?

Movie Review: Angels & Demons

Da Vinci Code was lacking. Even though that film was thought-provoking, it could’ve used a few more thrills to amp up some much-needed summer entertainment. But here, this movie has enough thrills to keep you entertained.

Hanks is once again great in the role, and I would be looking forward to a third Langdon film with him in it.

However, there were plenty of problems that somehow overshadow this film compared to the previous one. Even though it has an interesting use of the whole “science vs. religion” debate, it wasn’t as thought-provoking as the Jesus’ bloodline theory. It didn’t raise so many questions for me, because the film spent so much time concentrating on statues and clues and not giving us any questions. While The Da Vinci Code does a great job of mixing mystery and theories, the mystery of this film doesn’t add up well to the thrills, which makes it

B a c k in 2006, I reviewed The Da Vinci Code, a movie based on the controversial best-selling novel by Dan Brown, which starred Tom Hanks and was directed by Ron Howard.

Hanks starred as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who was involved in a murder mystery that led to a big discovery based on a possible theory that Jesus Christ might have started a bloodline. The success of the movie obviously means that one of Brown’s earlier novels, Angels & Demons, not only sees the big screen return of Langdon, but also raises questions on the whole “science vs. religion” debate as the backdrop of a new thrilling adventure.

Tom Hanks reprises his role as Robert Langdon, who is summoned by the Catholic Church in Rome to figure out the kidnappings of four cardinals by the secret underground organization known as the Illuminati. They were a group of scientists and scholars who were banished by the Church over their own scientific beliefs and discoveries, and now wanted revenge by bringing the church through the “path to Illumination.” Langdon also teams up with a beautiful CERN scientist (played

by Ayelet Zurer) to find an antimatter cylinder that was apparently stolen by the Illuminati to blow up Vatican City during the Church’s

conclave.

Langdon has to use all his knowledge to piece together the clues to the bomb based on the Illuminati’s “path to Illumination.”

Meanwhile, a young Camerlengo (played by Ewan McGregor) has to warn all the Catholic Church about the ongoing threat before it’s too late. But all of Vatican City is in a frenzy over the conclave. Can Langdon solve the mystery before all of Vatican City goes up in smoke (black or white)?

The film is once again directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian Grazer (the Academy award-winning team behind A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code).

Before seeing this movie, I had a chance to check out the new Star Trek prequel, which to me is a fun thrillride in spite of a multicomplicated plot. Both of these films believe it or not, use antimatter in a fictional sense that involves the destruction of one’s world.

I’m no expert on this, but if the antimatter used in Star Trek can create black holes, would it do the same to Vatican City in this movie thus creating a small hole in our Earth? I know it sounds pointless to ask, but I just want to get this question across.

Anyway, my first impression on Angels & Demons is that it looks thrilling, because that’s what The

entertaining but disappointing.

Worst of all, this film had the most implausible ending I’ve ever seen in a blockbuster. Without spoiling it, all I could say is that even if you had tried to suspend your disbelief long enough by the end, the climax will somehow leave you scratching your head. The climax ruined the whole movie for me, but I don’t know how different it is from the book.

I don’t highly recommend Angels & Demons, but I know you will want to see it because you like the book and/or have seen The Da Vinci Code. I gave that film three stars out of four for being both thought-provoking and entertaining.

However, this film was not the film I was hoping for.

Thrilling, but implausible by the end.

The rendering of Military Funeral Honors for United States Armed Forces Veterans is a tribute that our Veterans and their families justly deserve and in fact, are now entitled to. It is a way to show our Nation's

deep gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country. Section 578 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2000 requires the Department of Defense to provide, upon request, Military Funeral Honors for eligible Veterans.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Affordable Senior Living Centerâ&#x20AC;?

From the desk of Connie Jones, Director of Community Servicesâ&#x20AC;Ś

Quality vs. quantity: Do you want to live to 100?

Not too many years ago, a heart attack was usually a final health problem. Now, with the incredible medical advances, a heart attack is most often just a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wake-up callâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; time to pay attention to those health messages youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve let slide in one ear and out the other.

Now the dreamers talk of extending life to 120. But what good is longevity without quality? Do I really want to live â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreverâ&#x20AC;? at all costs? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so. So how can I ensure a GOOD life?

These are MY thoughts on the subject: Physical Activity. This is the one health message I think has the biggest impact on a GOOD life. It may mean the difference between the wheelchair and dancing, between a nursing home and my own home.

Consistent stretching, strengthening and aerobic exercise makes your body healthy, wealthy and wise. So if you pick one habit to work on, exercise is my choice.

Connections. Your quality of life is directly related to the number of people you connect with regularly. This is not easy because, with time, lifetime friends and family die or move away, and your circle gets smaller.

But people who say their life is good, WORK at making that circle bigger.

Purpose. Once you retire, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to rethink your purpose, but a purpose you must have. If you wake up in the morning and there is no one you can help during that day, the day has lost meaning. Relax, enjoy, and smell the roses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes, do that. But find a mission.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a firm believer in the 50 Things to Do Before I Die list. Take a piece of paper, list 50 things, both small and big, to do before you die. Put it up on your refrigerator. Pick one and do it. Then when you cross it offâ&#x20AC;Śadd another one to the bottom of the list.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to live to age 103 if my list was still unfinished, if I could move my body well enough to fulfill it, and if some of my 50 Things to Do included helping someone else.

To a GOOD long life!

Ask the Trainer - June is Men’s Health Month Jodi Cornelio

Finally, guys, it’s your turn to say, “It’s all about me this month.” So take advantage of it and make moves toward better health. Take the time to schedule your wellness visits or annual check ups.

Re-evaluate your fitness level and your goals for health. Develop an awareness of your eating and activity habits and determine if they are benefiting your health. And last but not least make moves to reduce stress in your life.

According to “A Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle,” 2nd ed., over 60 percent of American men are overweight. In 1920 women outlived men by one year. Today women outlive men by five or more years. Some of the reasons why men die younger are due to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other diseases that can be related to obesity, lack of activity, improper diet and stress. Men typically do not seek doctor care or take care of themselves as well as most women. Men typically do not take the time to exercise outside of their occupation and

are more likely to engage in unhealthy habits and hobbies that require little activity and poor diet choices. So to help all of you men take small steps to better health, consider the following guidelines: The Basic Nutrition Plan Mypyramid.gov can guide you to the basic nutritional requirements for your age, height and weight.

A basic nutrition plan should include grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, fats and meats. Basic recommended requirements for men consist of 3-5 oz. of grains a day. The US Department of Agriculture’s new Food Pyramid defines an ounce of grain as one slice of bread or a ½ cup of cooked rice, pasta or cereal. Eat 2-3 cups of vegetables a day.

Try to get a variety of all different colors. The dark green and bright orange vegetables carry the greatest amount of nutrients.

Fresh, frozen and raw are the best choices. Spinach has a lot of antioxidant and is one that I would recommend on a daily basis because of its nutritional value. Two cups of fruit is recommended on a daily basis. Here again fresh fruit is the best choice and definitely better then juices. Be careful if you choose to go with juice. Many contain more

sugar then real fruit juice so read the label. Three servings of dairy is recommended. Two ounces of cheese qualify for a dairy serving and of course one 8 ounce cup of whole or skim milk is one dairy.

We all need fat in the diet and the preferred fat is mono or polyunsaturated fat, i.e., olive and vegetable oils. No more then 30% of your daily nutrition intake should consist of these fats. So that is about seven teaspoons for men ages 19-30 and about six for men who are older then 30. Most men should have 5 to 6 ounces of

lean meat daily. That includes fish, poultry, red meat, seafood, nuts and beans.

Need to Lose Weight If you feel you need to lose weight, please do not fall for any quick weight loss plans. A good plan requires patience. A weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week is safe.

This can be achieved by decreasing your caloric intake by 250 calories a day; “that’s eliminating that candy bar for the afternoon See Men on page 31

snack” and increasing activity, like walking an additional 30 minutes a day to burn off 250 calories. That will lead you to a decrease in calories by 500 a day. A pound is 3500 calories. If you reduce your calories by 500 a day in this way, you will lose a pound a week.

If you keep that pace for six months you will be 25 pounds lighter. Small adjustments make a big difference long term.

What about vitamins Vitamins are necessary only if you fall into one of the following groups: • Lactose intolerant • Get less than 1200 calories a day • Poor eating habits with little nutrients and skip meals • High stress levels If you are taking certain medications that prevent nutrient absorption.

Helpful Tips to Good Eating Habits 1. Follow the U.S. Dept of Agriculture guidelines on the new Food Pyramid which can be found on Mypyramid.gov.

2. Limit fats to 30% and choose polyunsaturated fats, like olive oil. Use nonfat and low fats products whenever possible and always check for sugar contents of these foods. Some have lower fats but higher sugar, which would not be a good choice.

3. Skip the cheese on your BBQ hamburger; better yet grill salmon instead.

4. Always ask for your salad dressing on the side and use it sparingly. Olive oil and vinegar are your best choices.

5. Your dinner plate should consist of 50% vegetables and 25% meat and starch.

6. Order smaller portions when dining out.

7. Eat breakfast to get the metabolism going, it doesn’t have to be big.

8. Stop eating when you are full.

9. Drink plenty of water especially prior to your meals.

10. Read labels and avoid foods with hydrogenated fats or trans fats.

11. Check the sugar content of packaged foods; try to keep it low or below 5 grams.

12. Limit alcohol to 2 or less drinks a day. If that is difficult for you to control, then you might want to consider not having any at all.

13. Above all, eat slowly, enjoy your food and be aware of what and how much you are eating.

Rep. Tom Saviello (U-Wilton), Rep. Jarrod Crockett (R-Bethel), Sen. Deb Plowman (R-Penobscot) and First Sergeant John Maynard joined the Governor in ceremonially signing LD 213, “An Act To Allow Military Reenlistees To Obtain a Veterans Registration Plate.” The bill, sponsored by Rep. Saviello and cosponsored by Rep. Crockett and Senator Plowman, allows a person who served at least one tour of duty in the United States Armed Forces and who reenlists into the United States Armed Forces to be eligible to receive veterans registration plates for vehicles and motorcycles upon application.

It also adds reenlistees to those eligible to receive the special commemorative decals for medals awarded. First Sergeant Maynard was the driving force behind this bill becoming law. (Photo by Shawn Roderick)
