Valley Forge Historical National Park Victor Block
During the fall of 1777, General George Washington’s army was reeling from the crushing defeat it suffered in Pennsylvania. British troops had outmaneuvered Washington and won the Battles of Brandywine and Germantown. The Continental Army needed a haven at which it could get through the winter, and lick its wounds. The Pennsylvania Colony’s legislature ordered it to wait out the frigid season close enough to Philadelphia to keep an eye on the enemy and to be able to prevent a surprise attack in case it should come. Faced with this directive, General Washington led his ragtag troops to Valley Forge, an area of gently rolling meadows 18 miles from Philadelphia. As light snow fell on December 18, about 12,000 of the poorly fed, illequipped troops struggled to the place where they would spend the winter. Before the following spring, 2,000 of the soldiers had died, but a legend of the War of Independence has been born. No battles were fought at Valley Forge. Not a single shot was fired at an enemy. Yet the 3,600-acre setting may be the bestknown site associated with the Revolutionary War. The struggle for survival in the face of hunger, disease and the bitter winter cold dramatically conveys the courage and endurance that characterized the Colonials’ battle for freedom. Today, that story is depicted at Valley Forge Na-
tional Historical Park in a variety of ways. Weapons, documents and other exhibits set the stage for visitors. A bus ride or self-guided drive through the setting provides a personal introduction to major sites and monuments. Reconstructed earthen embankments mark the lines of defense that General Washington established around the area. Reconstructed log huts serve as reminders of the very basic living quarters in which the soldiers sought refuge. The damp, overcrowded structures were hastily erected as shelters against the bitter winter and they failed to prevent waves of typhus, pneumonia and other diseases from ravaging the ranks. Clothing was inadequate, shoes were hard to come by and much-needed blankets were even more scarce. Copies of correspondence between the men who endured such hardship and their loved ones at home put a human face on the suffering. Most of the cannons at Valley Forge were massed in Artillery Park. There they were stored, repaired and kept ready for immediate dispatch in case of an attack by the British. The first ray of hope arrived in February 1778 in the person of Baron Friedrich von Steuben. He was a former member of the elite general staff of Frederick the Great of Prussia, and the exacting drillmaster offered his services to the cause of the patriots. At the time, there was no standard training manual for the American troops, and the Prussian officer wrote one in French, which his aides translated into En-
FREE
glish. He chose and trained a cadre of 100 select men, and their growing prowess at marching, musketry and bayonet charges became the model for the entire army. By spring, a new feeling of hope and pride had begun to replace the atmosphere of despair. Following announcement of the colonies’ alliance with France, the British forces hastily moved toward New York. It was a very different American army that pursued them, one that had already achieved a victory – in this case, of spirit over diversity. The soldiers under Washington’s command would not celebrate their final victory over the Redcoats until 1781 in Yorktown, but they had won another very important battle. They had overcome the anguish that accompanied them to Valley Forge. They themselves had been forged into a fighting force that had new skills and an increased sense of confidence and pride which eventually would prevail. The story of this transformation comes alive at Valley Forge, a place that saw not a single military victory but rather one over weariness, uncertainty and lack of confidence that had accompanied George Washington’s army there during the winter of 1777. If you go information available at the Welcome Center includes Itineraries that follow the same roads along which George Washington’s troops marched, trace major Revolutionary War battles, and explore the history of that fateful winter. Brochures and information about other sites in the surrounding area also are available. For more information call (610) 783-1099 or log onto valleyforge.org.

“Snap Shots in Time”
By Bill Pierce Executive Director of the Outdoor Heritage Museum in Oquossoc The following is an excerpt from an interesting article found in the Thursday, March 19, 1896 issue of The Rangeley Lakes newspaper. It refers to status of Maine’s deer, moose and caribou populations in the late 19th century. U.S. Fish and Wildlife has estimated that in 1900 the Whitetail Deer population may have dipped to as few as 500,000 animals nationwide! The anonymous writer of this piece expresses his concerns and experiences on the subject. His opinions on wolves and panthers are unapologizing, to say the least and reflect popular public sentiment at the time. The museum now has authentic Maine Caribou mount (circa 1880) from John Danforth’s Camp Caribou, an early sporting camp once located on Treats Island in Parmachenee Lake. Camp caribou would later become an exclusive members-only affair known as the Parmachenee Club, visited by President Eisenhower in 1955. We also have a 12 Ga.
Muzzleloader in our collection attributed to have been used to harvest the last legal caribou taken in the Rangeley region by an ancestor of the Wilbur family. We also have a unique panther rug that adorned a cabin wall in Kennebago for many years. Please stop by and see these and many more interesting Rangeley artifacts that continue to be added to the collection every year and be sure to get outside and make some Outdoor History of your own! The Rangeley Lakes -Thursday, March 19, 1896 “FOLLOWING DEER AND CARIBOU” Panthers and Wolves are said to be Coming Back into Maine. …“It was after the deer had been killed off and the caribou driven away that the backwoods farmers had the most reason to remember the visit of the wild beasts from Canada. In the absence of their, natural prey the hungry creatures came into the pastures and farmyards, and there never was another time in the history of Maine when so many colts, calves, sheep and pigs were killed by wild animals. This led to the offering of bounties for wolf and panther scalps, and many a farmer made his losses more than good by the wild beasts he shot or trapped or poisoned. Many were killed, others, I suppose went

back to Canada or followed the caribou over the New Brunswick border. At any rate they mostly disappeared, although some wolves were still in the Maine woods as late as the time of the civil war. The last panther killed in Maine was shot thirty years ago, near Eagle lake, in Piscataquis county, by a hunter named Noyes. Those people who think that the fine hunting of today in Maine, and it is first-class, and no mistake—is going to continue until nothing more of hindrance than comes from human poachers, are likely to have an awakening before the year 1900 gets along. There’s no special trouble to be feared from the Indian. He kills deer, to be sure, but he does not exterminate them or drive them out of the country. With wolves, it is another thing. They are fierce and cunning and forever on the track of the deer and caribou. When they come —and they are sure to come, sooner or later—there will be a good many of them, and they will make sad havoc among the antlered game. There are plenty of them beyond the Canadian line and some already on this side of the border, and in one winter of deep snow they would make the count of deer, moose and caribou in our forests mighty small. I hope it may turn out better than I prophesy. But wait and see!”

The best firewood is local firewood
AUGUSTA — A new season of outdoor recreation brings new focus to the dangers posed to our forests by invasive forest insects and diseases, often spread by infested firewood. Recreationists and camp owners need to be aware of the threats invasive forest pests pose to Maine’s natural resources. The 2018 discovery of emerald ash borer in two areas within Maine adds even more urgency to this message. Use local, Maine firewood: 1. It is still illegal to bring untreated firewood from out of state across Maine’s borders, even into York County or Northern Aroostook County where EAB quarantines exist. 2. The presence of EAB within Maine also makes movement of firewood within the state a concern. It is now illegal to move untreated firewood out of York County and the Northeastern tip of Aroostook County into other parts of Maine.
3. Even within these quarantined areas, everyone is being asked to consider how their actions can impact the movement of EAB and other forest threats. 4. If you live in an area which is still free of EAB and have ash firewood from near an infested area, please try to burn it as soon as possible to reduce the risk of EAB adults emerging and starting a new infestation. 5. As always, MFS recommends burning firewood within 50 miles of where it
was harvested. This reduces the chance of moving a yet-undiscovered insect or disease long distances. Resources include: • Maine firewood emergency order • Frequently asked questions • Maine firewood suppliers Established in 1891, the MFS mission is to protect and enhance Maine’s forest resources through forest fire prevention; technical assistance; education and outreach to a wide variety of

According to the Maine Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry web site, the emerald ash borer is one of the most serious invasive species threatening the state’s ash resources and forests. All species of ash trees, but not mountain ash, that grow in Maine are susceptible to injury and death by the emerald ash borer. EAB was first found in Aroostook County —Madawaska, Frenchville and Grand Isle — and York County — Acton, Berwick and Lebanon — in 2018.

Spring & Summer SPECTACULAR How to maintain your gas grill Grilling is a wildly popular way to cook meals. According to a 2018 survey from The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, 70 percent of adults in the United States owned a grill in 2017, while 80 percent of Canadians could make that same claim. While grill ownership figures have remained relatively steady over the last 20 years, spending on grills has been on the rise and industry-wide revenue is expected to reach $7.2 billion by 2022. Such figures illustrate that grills have become increasingly significant investments. The HPBA survey found that gas grills are the most popular type of grill, and adults investing in a new gas grill would be wise to protect such investments by learning how to maintain them. Weber®, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of gas grills, offers the following maintenance tips to gas grill owners who want their grills to keep cooking great meals for years to come.
but Weber notes that it’s actually quite simple to maintain the cook box. Wait until the grill is completely cool before you carefully remove the cooking grates and Flavorizer bars. Then use a stainless steel brush to brush all excess grease and debris into the bottom
· Clean the outside of the grill lid. A paper towel and some cleaner can help gas grill owners keep their grills looking good on the outside. If your grill has a porcelain-coated lid, use glass cleaner. Stainless steel cleaner can be applied to stainless steel lids. When cleaning a stainless steel grill, use a microfiber towel and buff with the grain instead of against it for the best results. · Don’t overlook the side tables. Many people love gas grills because the side tables provide a great place to place cooking utensils or spices and other special ingredients. Keeping these tables clean can prevent the formation of potentially harmful bacteria and also maintain the appearance of the grill. Use a microfiber towel and stainless steel cleaner, again making sure to buff with the grain, if cleaning a stainless steel side table. Tables made of thermoset plastic can be cleaned using a mild dish detergent and warm water. · Don’t shy away from cleaning the cook box. The cook box can seem like an intimidating part to clean,

AUGUSTA — The Maine Military & Community Network will host its ninth annual statewide conference Thursday, July 18, at the Augusta Civic Center, 76 Community Drive. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Moral Injury: The Many Faces of Loss.” Dr. Carolyn Allard, associate professor and program director of the Ph.D. program at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, will deliver the keynote address. Prior to her current position at the CSPP, Allard served as the program director of the Military Sexual Trauma & Interpersonal Trauma Clinic for more than a decade at the
Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System. “We are very excited to bring trauma expert Dr. Allard to Maine, ” stated Amy Line of the MMCN leadership council and planning committee. “Dr. Allard’s interest in trauma-related guilt and shame developed throughout her clinical and research career due to their obviously pervasive and impactful role in post-traumatic distress. We look forward to her training on Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction and all it stands to offer those in attendance.” MMCN’s annual conference provides active duty military personnel, veterans, veteran service organizations and clinicians the
opportunity to network and share information on topics affecting veterans, service members and their families. The objective of the conference is to increase the overall awareness among service members, veterans, and providers of the issues and opportunities related to those who have served in the military. To register for the conference and to view the complete conference agenda, visit https://mainemcn. org/annual-conference-2-2/ by July 16.

Students at NMCC begin mechanized logging operations program STRATTON — Fifteen students have begun classes in the mechanized logging operations program, which launched its latest threemonth hands-on training course June 24 in the woods of Western Maine. Students enrolled in the community college training program will spend the summer harvesting timber using sophisticated stateof-the-art machines like
those they will encounter in the logging industry. The hands-on experience students gain operating equipment is something unavailable anywhere else in Maine and neighboring states. This summer’s class will be the third since the program launched in 2017; graduation for the class will be held on Sept. 19. The program was creat-

executive director. “There is literally no better or more efficient way to gain the experience and knowledge you need to become an equipment operator in the logging industry.” The program gives students a broad overview of the most common mechanical systems found in modern timber harvesting equipment and an understanding of the variables of timber growth, tree species, and markets. It also includes a strong emphasis on safety. Students who are accepted into the program pay no tuition due to funding provided by Maine Qual-
ity Centers and a Put ME to Work grant. Students are responsible for transportation, housing and food costs; however, personal protective equipment is provided by the program. Mechanized logging operators are among the highest paid members of the logging workforce, and demand for these workers has risen as many current operators have reached retirement age. While the logging industry has seen some contraction in recent years due to the loss of pulp and paper mills, the demand for skilled operators of the feller bunchers, harvesters,

Many current operators are reaching retirement age and the steep costs of training new operators is driving up demand and wages. It generally takes at least a year of training and experience before an operator becomes skilled enough to run this equipment safely and efficiently. The cost for companies to train these operators themselves is approximately $100,000 each.

MOVIE REVIEW
Lucas Allen (Walt Disney Pictures/ Pixar Animation Studios) It seems like an end of an era. “Toy Story 4” marks a turning point in Pixar’s history as an animation studio with an impressive legacy. With the studio churning out more sequels than originals in the recent decade, it was time for the creators to try to lay the trend to rest for the time being and this would
Page 13
www.turnerpublishing.net
Toy Story 4 be the film to help break that trend. This time, the direction is provided by Josh Cooley whose previous work with Pixar was as the writer of the Oscar-winning “Inside Out.” Since the toys are now in the home of 6-year old Bonnie after Andy left for college, Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and the gang are living a much more comfortable existence within the confines of the little girl’s bedroom. When it comes time for her to enter kindergarten, Woody sneaks into her backpack hoping to help her adjust on the first day. He then witnesses her using random accessories to create her own toy, which she names Forky (Tony Hale). However, the rede-
Sudoku Puzzle Answer Puzzle on page 11
signed spork would rather be thrown in the garbage than be a toy. During a family road trip, Forky escapes, leaving Woody to try to get him back with the others. As the two of them get along, they come across an antiques shop where Woody reunites with Bo Peep (Annie Potts), who’s living a surprisingly good life as a lost toy. But the happiness is cut short by a broken talking doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), who wants Woody’s voice box to replace hers. Meanwhile, Buzz tries to find Woody, only to end up in a carnival game with stuffed animals Ducky (Keegan-Michael Key) and Bunny (Jordan Peele). Once the main characters are reunited with the addition of toy stunt bik-
er Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves), they’ll have to get back to the family RV before it leaves. Though “Toy Story 3” bookended the trilogy on a high note, the creators were trying to extend the life of the franchise through short films, TV specials, and now this film. For some, the idea of a fourth film seems like an act of desperation for the studio to try to stay relevant. But if you watch it, you’ll start to realize that maybe there are some life signs left in this series that made Pixar successful to begin with. The movie is just as funny, intense, and emotional as what came before. Having it be both a road trip movie, a horror movie, and a thrill ride through an amusement park is a great
way to add something new to the franchise while introducing new characters. Each of them has a purpose that will be achieved by the end of the film especially when they all add to the heartwarming moments the film provides. It does get a little intense involving the dummies looking like the clones of Slappy from Goosebumps. However, both kids and adults will have a lot of fun though you may want to bring the tissues for the film’s conclusion. Both Hanks and Allen bring their winning chemistry back to life while managing to add depth to their performances when interacting with the new characters. Key & Peele steal their scenes with moments of laugh-out-loud hilarity

along with Reeves’ thick Canadian voice and charm highlights all his scenes. Hale becomes the movie’s heart and soul that will have a profound effect on every viewer. As for Hendricks and Potts, they both deliver believability of characters looking to break free. “Toy Story 4” is not just a great sequel, but a great animated film in a series that has been consistently incredible in every way. It’s hard to say what the future holds for this franchise, but those characters will certainly live on for countless generations. Now let’s see what Pixar have up their sleeves the next time.

When my granddaughter was around four-years-old, I was babysitting her while she was outside playing. All of a sudden the wind started blowing. She came running in all excited, and said, “Gram, I think there’s a TOMATO coming!” The TV newscasters had been talking about tornadoes! So cute! – Judy LeBroke, Norway

keep talking!” — Sandy Reynolds, Vassalboro. I was scolding my sevenyear-old granddaughter; with her hand on hip, looking right me in the eye, she said, “But Gram, you always say nobody’s perfect.” - Vivian Mancine, Auburn On Father’s Day, our son, his fiancé, our 2 year-old grandson, Jaxson, and his 10 year-old sister, Alexis, came over. The
kids gave my husband a large container of Tic Tacs. Jaxson came into the house and wanted to give PaPa his TicTacs. I told him, “PaPa doesn’t have his teeth in his mouth.” He looked at me and pointed to his own teeth and said “I have teeth.” I laughed so hard. A while later they were getting ready to leave, so they told Jaxson to say Happy Father’s Day to PaPa. He yells as he’s leaving, “Happy Father’s Day Grammy!” We all laughed at that. – Grammy Lapointe, Auburn
