Klahr Center exhibit tells story of Holocaust, from before through liberation AUGUSTA — The latest exhibit at the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine will feature a collection of the artifacts that have been given to the HHRC over the years and compiled in a way that tells the story of the years leading up to the Holocaust through liberation. “Our Stories Have to Be Told: HHRC Artifacts from the Holocaust” brings together a powerful collection of items that have been donated or loaned to the HHRC over the years. The title comes from a quote by Holocaust survivor Jerry Slivka, who died in 2013 at the age of 98. He is one of several survivors whose quotes and reflections are included in the exhibit. Slivka was born in the Ukraine, but his village was destroyed during World War I. The family moved to the Jewish section of another town nearby, Povursk. When Hitler came to power, Slivkay was out of school and moved to Lodz, Poland. He worked making sweaters and then returned to Povursk in 1937. Four years later, he was drafted into the Soviet
army. During his service, he lost contact with his family. In 1943, Slivka was sent to a work camp in Siberia, where he remained until the end of the war. At that time, the Soviet Union had an agreement that those who were Polish citizens before 1939 could
go back to Poland. Slivka qualified, submitted his application, and a year later returned to Poland. He learned that his parents, sister and one brother had been killed. Jerry was able to find his surviving brother and the two traveled to Italy before arriving to the
U.S. in 1948. Soon after, he met and married his wife Rochelle. The couple moved to Maine and helped found the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine. At the time of his death, he was survived by two daughters, six grandchildren, three
great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. “Our Stories Have to Be Told: HHRC Artifacts from the Holocaust,” will be open through Sept. 13. The HHRC, located at the Michael Klahr Center on the campus of the University of Maine at Au-
gusta is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on weekends and evenings by appointment. For more information about the exhibit, contact David Greenham at David. greenham@maine.edu or 207-621-3531.

Western Maine Play Museum nearing completion, planning fundraisers and Aug. 3 opening WILTON — Western Maine Play Museum is now offering annual memberships in anticipation of its opening later this summer. Individuals who purchase memberships before the opening will be invited to members-only hours in the days leading up to the public opening Aug. 3. There are a variety of membership options to meet everyone’s needs, including “Just the Two of Us” with one named adult and one named child; a “Household Membership” with two named adults
from the same address and up to four named dependent children, and a “Grandparent Membership” including up to two named adults and four grandchildren. There are additional membership options and add-ons to accommodate everyone’s unique situation. Members will have unlimited access to the museum for a full year from the first day it is open to the public or 365 days from date of purchase if joining at a later time. Memberships can be purchased at https://
forms.gle/Ynvn3k35893PfuT49. Memberships also will be available on WMPM’s redesigned website, which will be made public in the coming weeks. Non-members can buy daily passes for $7 per person, while children 12 months and under will be free. As always, Western Maine Play Museum’s Facebook (www.facebook.com/westernmaineplaymuseum/) page is a great way to keep up with all of the museum’s exciting happenings. Western Maine Play Muse-
um also invites the community to join in the fun June 15 from 6 to 9 p.m. for its third annual Spring Gala and Experience Auction — the first ever hosted at the museum. This year’s gala will feature a sneak peek of the museum, a silent auction and the annual experience auction. Be among the first to check out the exhibit space while enjoying hors d’oeuvres and refreshments provided by Calzolaio Pasta Company from 6 to 7:30 p.m. From 7:30 to 9 p.m., desserts, re-
freshments and an experience auction hosted by Teachers’ Lounge Mafia’s Dan Ryder and Jeff Bailey also will be held under the tent. A cash bar will be available the entire evening. The 2019 Spring Gala and Experience Auction is a major fundraising event for the Western Maine Play Museum as they anticipate a summer opening date. All funds raised during the gala will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $10,000), effectively doubling donations, ticket prices,
and winning bids for the evening. Ultimately, plans call for a “soft open” with limited hours July 31 and Aug. 1 for members only, followed by a public opening Aug. 3. For more information about ticket for the gala and auction, go to https://wmpmgala2019. eventbrite.com. Only 80 tickets for the event will be sold, due to limited seating. Museum memberships will be available for purchase at the event and also on the updated website, which will soon be available to the public.
Mt. Blue CATV premiers ‘Telling Tales: Western Maine’s Storyplace’ FARMINGTON — Mt. Blue Community Access Television, together with Western Maine Storytelling, has premiered a new series, “Telling Tales: Western Maine’s Storyplace” on Mt. Blue TV.

Blackstone tells of her brother-in-law’s challenges while courting her sister. Antonio Rocha combines mime and storytelling, while poet laureate Wes McNair discusses and reads from his recent book of family stories, “The Unfastening.” Residents of Farmington, Jay, Livermore Falls and
Wilton can access the shows on Channel 11. All can access the programs on the Mt. Blue TV website by clicking on the Telling Tales icon at mtbluetv.org. Information on Western Maine Storytelling can be found at westernmainestorytelling.org or by emailing westernmainestoyrtelling@gmail.com.

City parks are for more than just picnics Victor Block
Bob Nanz is watching a game of cricket and trying to figure out what’s taking place. Roger Simons keeps a tight hold on a pole as he soars through the air. Betty and Sam Nichols have their eyes peeled on vehicles speeding around a race track. These scenes may seem to have little in common, but they share one thing — they’re all taking place in city parks throughout the country and represent the surprising variety of attractions and activities available in those settings. The cricket game is being played at Kapiolani Regional Park, which is home to the Honolulu Cricket Club. Roger Simons is taking trapeze
lessons which are offered at the park on Governors Island near downtown New York City. Equally dramatic is the action taking place in Belle Isle Park, which intrigued Betty and Sam Nichols. The race track there hosts the annual Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, along with music performances and other entertainment. An A (animals) to Z (zoos) choice of unexpected attractions is available at city parks throughout the country. When America’s bison population plummeted in the 1890s, a small herd was placed in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, where a breeding program helped to preserve the iconic animals. Today visitors may get up close and personal with the majestic creatures that still inhabit the preserve. The Holy Grail for some
wildlife watchers is Forest Park in St. Louis. A count of species seen there lists 216 types of birds, 66 of butterflies and 21 mammals, including fox, coyote and mink. A treasure trove also awaits art aficionados at some urban enclaves. Forest Park, City Park in New Orleans, Chicago’s Grant Park and Golden Gate Park have an imposing art museum on campus. Some parks double as outdoor museums. New Orleans’ City Park and Zilker Park in Austin have a sculpture garden; art installations enhance the Discovery Green in Houston; and Papago Park in Phoenix displays a rotating collection of works. Art with a message is a feature of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens in Rockefeller Park. They celebrate groups comprising the city’s population with sculptures, paintings and plaques. Among fig-
ures so honored are the Polish composer Frederic Chopin and the Irish playwright Sean O’Casey. For those who prefer a natural setting, a trail in Papago Park leads to and through red sandstone buttes. Science buffs head for the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, the Austin Nature and Science Center in Zilker Park and the Museum of Nature and Science in City Park, Denver. Then there are museums with a narrow focus. These include the Oregon Holocaust Museum in Portland’s Washington Park and Hall of Fame Fire Museum in Papago Park. Some parks provide perfect settings for musical and other presentations. Among its many attractions, Central Park in New York City hosts free performances by the New York Philharmonic Or-

chestra, sometimes accompanied by fireworks. Music from rock to classical to opera is presented at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Grant Park, a dramatic bandshell planned by the world-famous architect Frank Gehry. Its design, coupled with a state-ofthe-art sound system, creates acoustics comparable to those of an indoor concert hall. Crowds have gathered in Denver’s City Park to enjoy live concerts for more than 125 years, and they continue to be attracted by the sounds of jazz, blues and salsa. Music ranging from rock and pop to traditional Hawaiian songs is presented at the Kapiolani Park’s Waikiki Shell. Of course, parks should have gardens, and it’s no surprise when they do. What is surprising is the variety of plantings. Rose lovers find more than 500 varieties at the Interna-

SPECTACULAR
Create a safe, tick-free zone in your yard Despite their diminutive stature, ticks are a big concern for people, particularly those with pets. As the weather warms, ticks are out looking for a host to climb on and get a blood meal. Ticks are a significant concern because they can be infected with bacteria, viruses or parasites, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, and babesiosis are just a few of the many tick-borne diseases. These pathogens can be passed to humans and pets via the bite of infected ticks. In 2018, at least one variety of disease-transmitting tick had been found in all of the lower 48 states, according to the CDC. In addition, researchers at Cornell University identified 26 species of ticks along the East Coast alone. Preventing tick bites has never been more important. The process starts right in one’s own backyard. According to Consumer Reports and the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, controlling wildlife that enters one’s yard can help keep tick numbers down. Open access means animals can enter and so can ticks. Fencing and pest management solutions may help. Other ideas include landscaping techniques that can reduce tick populations:
• Clear tall grasses and brush around homes and at the
edges of the lawn. Mow regularly to keep the lawn short.
• Create a barrier between wooded areas and the yard if it abuts a forested area. According to Consumer Reports, a three-foot-wide path of wood chips or gravel can prevent tick migration by creating a physical barrier that’s dry and sometimes too hot for ticks to tolerate. Such a
barrier also serves as a visual reminder to anyone in your household to be especially careful if they step beyond the perimeter.
• Bag grass clippings, which can serve as habitats for ticks. • Remove old furniture, trash and other debris that can give ticks places to hide.
• Remember to use a tick-repellent product when ventur-
ing into wooded areas. Flea and tick products also are available for pets; consult with a vet.
Ticks are problematic, but various measures can help control tick populations in a yard.

Actor Ed Harris pledges $75,000 to Waterville arts center WATERVILLE — Actor Ed Harris has pledged $75,000 in support of the community capital campaign for the Paul J. Schupf Art Center, Waterville Creates! announced. Harris, who worked and lived in Waterville in the early 2000s while filming the HBO movie “Empire Falls,” cited his fondness for the people of Waterville as one reason for the gift. Designed to bring together under one roof some of Waterville’s most beloved arts institutions, including the Maine Film Center, Common Street Arts, and a new gallery of the Colby Museum of Art, the Paul J. Schupf Art Center will be constructed on the current site of The Center building at 93 Main St., directly adjacent to the Waterville Opera House
and City Hall building and downtown’s central green space, Castonguay Square. Waterville Creates! and Colby College are partnering on this transformative project which will create a distinctive hub for visual arts, performing arts, arts education, and film for children and adults. In addition to enhancing Waterville’s reputation as a destination for arts and culture, this new facility will add vitality to downtown Waterville during both the daytime and evening hours and serve as an economic driver for the region. “Ever since living in Waterville and working on Empire Falls some 15 years ago, the town and the people in it have held a fond place in my heart,” said Harris. “This project is such a great idea and
will enrich the lives of so many that I felt compelled and honored to contribute in what I hope is a meaningful way.” Harris’ gift was pledged in support of the $2 million community capital campaign being led by Waterville Creates! as part of the overall fundraising goal of $18 million for the project. In recognition of his generous support, the box office of the new fa-
cility will be named the Ed Harris Box Office. “Over the 22-year history of the Maine International Film Festival, we have had the honor of welcoming some incredible guests to Waterville, and Ed Harris was certainly one of the most memorable,” said Shannon Haines, president and CEO of Waterville Creates! and past director of the film festival, which presented Har-
SEPTIC SOLUTIONS 207
ris with its annual MidLife Achievement Award in July of 2004. “Ed was not only incredibly generous with his time at the festival, but he also used the opportunity to advocate for Railroad Square Cinema and independent film programming. We are so grateful for his remarkable gift.”

MOVIE REVIEW
’Rocketman’ Lucas Allen (Paramount Pictures) “Bohemian Rhapsody” was the story of Freddy Mercury and “The Dirt” was about the exploits of Motley Crue, but “Rocketman” shows the rise and impact Elton John brings to his music and colorful persona. Rather than make it a standard rock music biopic, director Dexter
Fletcher opted to make it a full-blown Broadway musical using some of the singer’s famous songs to mirror the story. There is something to be said about the iconic singer that hasn’t already been said, but this movie will make you love his music even more. The life of the rock legend begins when a young Reginald Dwight (Taron Egerton) lives in rural England dealing with his overbearing mother (Bryce Dallas Howard) and distant father (Steven Mackintosh). He finds solace in his piano playing and grows up wanting to be a rocker. He soon meets songwriter Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell) and the two of them begin a working
relationship that will shape both their lives. After coming to America, Elton soon became an overnight sensation, releasing gold records and chart-topping singles earning him praise all over. Like all good musician stories, there’s sex, drugs, and rock & roll in the mix. Not to mention sleazy manager/boyfriend John Reid (Richard Madden from “Game of Thrones”), who takes control of his client’s career and likelihood. Naturally, it begins to spiral out of control as it affects everybody around him. Right from the opening number, the movie takes you to a different place than where you were expecting. We experience El-

stage persona. Some of the numbers tend to go into weird territory, but they do measure up to what his story is all about. It does make you appreciate the creative effort him and Taupin brought to the music after hearing it on the radio countless times over the decades. Egerton is absolutely wonderful embodying the singer’s electric personality throughout the movie. He’s also a talented singer bringing new life to these classic songs. His scenes with Bell, Madden, and Howard help drive the story combined with the other actors also lending some vocals of their own. Still, Egerton is the one who carries this whole film on
his shoulders and should be rewarded for his efforts come awards season. No matter how you feel about the recent rock biopic boom, “Rocketman” can be seen as the high point of this current trend. In this season of sequels and reboots, this is an absolute must-see for both Elton John fans and fans of great pop music. Don’t be afraid to sing along and tap your feet with the other members of the audience, because that’s what Elton himself would want you to do. THE MOVIE’S RATING: R (for language throughout, some drug use, and sexual content) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.5 Stars (Out of Four)

ton’s colorful world from the gray tones of his childhood to his lavish lifestyle swept with rainbow colors. But unlike the PG-13 “Bohemian Rhapsody,” this R-rated film doesn’t hold back on the singer’s homosexuality and his relationships. It shows that a movie like this can follow a similar plotline, but can also be bold in showing the rawness of real life within the music. The movie still follows the basic rock biopic plot about the rise to stardom and the descent into dangerous vices. However, it uses both Elton’s songs and Broadway-style numbers to make the singer’s life story match the fantastical elements of his

Wilhelm Reich museum harvests trees to expose intended views RANGELEY — Trees at the Wilheim Riech Infant Trust property have been harvested to better expose the views at the Orgone Energy Observatory, as Wilhelm
Reich intended, the Board of Directors announced. The observatory, which housed the Wilhelm Reich Museum, is high on a hill and, until the recent clear-
ing, not visible from the road. The musuem, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, welcomes visitors from all over the world, exhibits, works of
art, literature, and science, sponsors conferences on social and scientific subjects, operates year-round nature programs and recreational activities for children relevant to the Maine environment. The museum and its programs will continue and be open to the public during the harvesting. Reich, who came to Rangeley in 1940, bought the farm and mostly fields, which he called Orogon. Over the years, the trees grew and the museum could no longer be seen, not even from Dodge Pond Road. Many of the trees were a danger to the buildings, especially from forest fires. The Board decided that clearing the trees from the buildings and museum was necessary to help prevent the building from catching fire and burning before the Fire Department could arrive. Reich, a renowned Austrian psychoanalyst, re-
search physician and scientist who lived in New York, first arrived in the region by accident. He and his wife, Ilse Ollendorff, were driving into Oquossoc during a rainstorm that had drowned out a camping trip in the White Mountains, and found a cabin for rent on Bald Mountain Road on the shoreline of Mooselookmeguntic Lake. Reich during his stay made several significant observations regarding his field of research that convinced him that the Rangeley Lakes Region would be an ideal location for his research during the summer, as opposed to the heat and humidity of his home and laboratory in New York City. Orogon was completed in 1948, and Reich described it this way: “The western wing has a flat roof suitable as a deck for observation of the western sky. The roof of the main
building is flat and also usable for observation The deck overlooks the whole region above the surrounding hills. The White Mountains 100 miles away to the south, Saddleback Mountain to the east, and Mount Bigelow to the northeast form important points of observation. Two lakes, Dodge Pond to the east and Rangeley Lake to the south, provide excellent areas for observations of the pulsatory movement of the atmospheric orgone energy.” In 1956, his published books, research journals and bulletins — comprising thousands of pages — were banned and burned by order of a U.S. Federal Court. The destruction of several tons of Reich’s publications about psychiatry, medicine, biophysics and sociology constitutes one of the most heinous examples of censorship in this country, the release said, and a part of Rangeley history.

FEATURE EVENT
Poetry reading and book discussion at the Carrabassett Valley library June 20
CARRABASSETT VALLEY — Author Margaret “Peggy” Yocom will read from her new book — “All Kinds of Fur: Erasure Poems & New Translation of a Tale by the Brothers Grimm,” Thursday, June 20, at 4:30 p.m. at Carrabassett Public Library, 3209 Carrabassett Drive #3. The volume is published by Deerbrook Editions of Cumberland. To perform this visual poetry, Yocum will have help from a digital projector as well as her storytelling colleague Rob Lively. “All Kinds of Fur” offers a new vision of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s controversial “All Kinds Of Fur” (“Allerleirauh”), a lesser-known version of “Cinderella” that opens with incest. Erasing the
Grimms’ words to reveal a young woman’s story of her journey to a new, full life, Yocum asks, “What would ‘All Kinds Of Fur’ say if she could tell her own tale?” You can read more about the book (and erasure poetry) and flip through 16 of its pages at Deerbrook
Editions’ website: http:// deerbrookeditions.com/kins-fur Additional information is available on Peggy’s Yocum’s website: http:// margaretyocom.com For more information, call the library at 207-2373535; the event is free and open to the public

CATCHING HEALTH
Handy tips on hand disease Dupytren’s contracture
By Diane Atwood About 12 years ago, Donald Jones ran into a friend who used to be a hand surgeon. When they shook hands, the friend felt a cord in Donald’s palm and told him that he had Dupuytren’s contracture. Dupuytren’s means you can’t straighten some of your fingers, usually the ring and/ or the little finger and sometimes the thumb. Donald knew what it was. His father had a contracture in one of his fingers. “He didn’t do anything about it until his finger curled over and grew right into his palm,” said Donald. “He had to have major surgery. They had to cut the cords in his hand to open up his fingers.“ How Dupuytren’s develops Underneath all skin, including on the palm, is a sheet of connective tissue, the fascia. With Dupuytren’s, the
fascia becomes diseased. The first sign is usually a small nodule or a bump in the palm, says Dr. Youssra Marjoua, a Portland orthopaedic surgeon and hand specialist. “It may feel like a callous,” he said. “There’s no pain, but it continues to evolve into a cord. The cord doesn’t immediately contract, but eventually will attach to the skin above. As that happens, it starts to actually bring the skin down and leads to a flexed finger.” The highest prevalence is in senior Caucasian men, mostly of northern European descent. They usually have a family history of the condition. Donald’s progressed slowly in both ring fingers. “I would shake hands and it would feel funny,” he said. “Your finger has curled over and you can’t even force it back. “ In April, he had a procedure to release the cords and his bent fingers, first in one hand
and a month later, the other. He could have opted for surgery to remove the diseased fascia, but instead, had an enzyme, Xiaflex, injected into the cord. The enzyme softens and weakens the cord so that in a day or two it’s possible to break it up by stretching and bending the finger. In one finger, Donald inadvertently did it on his own. “I had the shot one day and the next day I was shopping, I grabbed the door of the bottle return to drop the bottles in and I felt it pull a little bit. When I went in that next day to have it stretched, he said, ‘Oh, you already did it.’ So that pulling already stretched it some and then he did the rest.” Donald says he’s glad he had the procedure done because his fingers are no longer bent. But he still has a bit of trouble opening jars and there’s a chance he’ll have another procedure in the future on his little finger, which has a cord.
Deciding how or if to treat Marjoua says it’s difficult to predict the severity of the disease. Just because there is a nodule, or even a cord, doesn’t mean the finger will bend. To make a diagnosis, in addition to asking questions and examining the hand, the doctor will do a tabletop test, where the patient puts his hand palm down on a table. If all fingers and the entire surface of the palm can be flat without any gap, it usually
means the contraction doesn’t need intervention. If treatment is necessary, two factors should be considered before choosing surgery versus an injection. First: Is there a clear palpable cord that medicine can be safely injected into? The medicine must only go into diseased tissue and not in the tendon or surrounding arteries and nerves. Second: If it’s so severe the patient has a finger and palm deformity and the cord can’t
be seen, surgery is an option. Some can choose between surgery or injection. In surgery, because the diseased fascia is removed, there is less chance of a recurrence, but it usually can’t be totally removed, so it doesn’t eliminate the risk. Either way, there is no easy way to predict a recurrence. Anyone who suspects he may have Dupuytren’s shouldn’t wait until his finger is curled over before seeing a doctor.
