Vienna sculptor wins MCA Master Craft Artist Award WEST GARDINER — The Maine Crafts Association, a statewide non-profit organization promoting the work of Maine’s craft artists, has named metal artist Tom Ferrero of Vienna, as the 2019 recipient of the MCA Master Craft Artist Award. The award recognizes Ferrero’s outstanding body of work, and his passion for arts in education and a longtime commitment to sharing his craft with young people, the association said in a news release. The 2019 MCA Master Craft Award selection began with a public nomination process. The 2019 recipient
was selected by Beth McLaughlin, chief curator of exhibitions and collections, Fuller Craft Museum, and curator of the Award’s Ten Year Anniversary Exhibition at the Fuller. “A highly trained metalsmith, Tom Ferrero creates intricate objects that are mind-boggling in their complexity and radiate a profound mind-hand-heart connection,” McLaughlin said. “His dreamy forms are engineering marvels, every inch demonstrating a deep intimacy with the material and a rare balance of whimsy and precision. And that he cites adventure movies of the
80s as his inspiration – ‘Star Wars,’ ‘The Goonies’ and ‘Indiana Jones,’ for example – only adds to the appeal. I am honored to have selected him as the recipient of the 2019 Master Craft Artist Award.” As a jeweler and metals artist, Ferrero’s practice centers on sculptural jewelry and metal objects built from silver, gold, copper and precious gemstones. His work can be described as complex, detail-driven, theatrical and ornate. Ferrero’s most ambitious work, The Mace, was designed and constructed over four years and is composed of silver, gold, copper, diamonds, amber, topaz and other precious gems. Ferrero has achieved in-
ternational recognition and top prizes in jewelry and metal arts. He is a two-time recipient of the international Saul Bell Design Award and a two-time NICHE Award recipient. Ferrero has exhib-
ited at SOFA Chicago and the JKC Show in Las Vegas, and his work is in the private collection of the Kamm Teapot Foundation. In 2016 he moved to Maine year-round, where

he works as an independent artist and part-time art instructor for Maranacook Community High School in Readfield. He is also an occasional lecturer for the University of Maine at Augusta. Ferrero lectures at a variety of colleges in the US and Canada and has given workshops in both countries to adolescents and adults. In the summers he instructs silversmithing classes at a local children’s camp where he will be celebrating his 16th season this June. “Metalworking supports my love of two-dimensional design and ornament while providing a vehicle to bring those ideas into a three-dimensional realm. Much of the time is spent working out structural harmonies before any thought of embellishment enters the equation. I

Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine honors volunteers NORWAY — The Board of Directors of the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine on May 16 honored the center’s many volunteers. Each volunteer was applauded for their commitment of time and was thanked for all he or she does to keep the center running. The center always welcomes new volunteers, and is grateful for anyone who is able to help in any way.

tive tasks, hand out comfort items more. To volunteer, or find out more, stop by the Center or call Diane Madden, operations and development director, at 207-890-0329.

RANGELEY — The first annual Rangeley Birding Festival, which will be Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9, will introduce and present the first John Bicknell Bird Conservation Award. The award honors the legacy of Bicknell, who led the effort to get sanctuary designation on the Mingo Springs golf course and who has been recognized for environmental stewardship by Audubon International. This year’s award will honor Carson Hinckley, who has led the effort to restore Perham Stream, a little known gem in East
Madrid. Hinckley, a descendant of original settlers in the valley, created and maintains the Perham Stream Birding Trail with help from the Sandy River Land Trust. It is across the road from his family’s 18th century farm, which will soon be the site of an archaeological dig. The Rangeley Birding Festival will promote the region as a premier birding destination for rare and sought-after species in New England. Deep in the heart of Maine’s lush boreal forest, Rangeley provides a convenient hub to find northern specialties like Black-backed Wood-
pecker, Spruce Grouse, and Boreal Chickadee, as well as breeding warblers including Cape May, Bay-breasted, and Mourning. One of the trips offered — a day hike on Saddleback Mountain – will focus on Bicknell’s thrush, one of North America’s rarest and most localized breeders. The festival is part of RLHT’s ongoing effort to promote the Rangeley area as a destination for a unique and dynamic outdoor opportunity. For more information on the festival visit www.rlht.org or email Nick Leadley at nick@ touchthewildphotos.com.

MOVIE REVIEW
Lucas Allen (Lionsgate Films) If you thought the first two John Wick films were the best thing the action genre can be, then you haven’t seen anything yet. The third entry, “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum,” amps up the intense action to the maximum while expanding once more on the mythology hinted at in the previous films. Once again, the combination
’John Wick: Chapter 3’ of star Keanu Reeves and stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski brings everything together in some of their best work since The Matrix Trilogy. When we last saw Wick (Reeves) in Chapter 2, he had just broken the biggest rule of the Continental by shooting a High Table assassin on sacred ground. Now he’s on the run as an “excoummnicado” with a $14 million bounty on his head. He hides out from other assassins trying to kill him by seeking help from The Director (Anjelica Huston), who has trained him since he was a kid. Meanwhile, Wick’s fallout puts the hotel’s manager Winston (Ian McShane) in a position because The Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon) wants him to step down before the High
Table strikes. In Morocco, Wick seeks more help from ex-assassin Sofia (Halle Berry) for whom he owed a debt to from a past mission. After their intense battle that involves her two loyal German Shepherds, he finds somebody called The Elder (Saïd Taghmaoui) who tells him he has to do a difficult task in order to get that bounty off of him and back in the organization. This lead Wick back to New York City, where he has to face his fate along with a gang of ninjas lead by Zero (Mark Dacascos) at the Continental. In the annals of action movies, this series continues to increasingly impress with intense fight scenes and amazing stunt choreography. This film goes the extra mile, including addi-

ing for him to battle those impossible odds no matter how crazy things get in the story. Despite the movie not having a complete ending, you’ll still find yourself pumped wondering what will happen next after all that. Much like the series itself, Reeves continues to improve on bringing his character to life. He’s able to add some complexity and humor to the role especially with his fighting style. Other returning actors like McShane and Lance Reddick as the Concierge have more to do and do a great job, while Laurence Fishburne is always a great presence returning as the Bowery King. Berry makes her long-awaited comeback in the genre with her supporting turn with the help of her loyal killer
dogs. Let’s not forget to mention the various stunt people working in front and behind the camera who help bring those action sequences together, and who also deserve more recognition for all their hard work. As far as summer movies go, “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” can be seen as the big start of this season after the juggernaut that is “Avengers: Endgame.” Those who preferred a more raw and realistic form of action movies will be absolutely impressed by every great moment this film displays. Who knows what new surprises they’ll come up with in the next installment? THE MOVIE’S RATING: R (for pervasive strong violence and some language) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.75 Stars (Out of Four)

tional location work in the deserts of Morocco, as if John Woo directed a James Bond film. Not to mention, every shot, punch, and kill feels more impactful than ever before. You’ll be left thrilled, shocked, and mortified at those scenes especially the climatic shootout and kung fu fight at the Continental. It’s a testament to what these filmmakers can pull off with enough time and effort when compared to other trashy action films. Since the other films were building this universe full of killer assassins, this film’s story takes a more direct approach and explores the consequences of the main character’s past actions. It’s not just about the action, but also about Wick trying to survive in a world that’s about to get him. You’ll find yourself root-

Feeling stressed? Research says feed the birds In today’s constant contact, cell-phone celebrated, digital world, most people can go days or even weeks without spending any time in natural sunlight. Instead, we eat breakfast inside, or on the go, only to race to an office, filled with artificial light and plastic plants, for 8 to 10 hours a day. It’s no wonder Americans’ mental health is suffering. Compare that hectic routine to those memorable moments when you’re able to sit quietly, let the sunshine warm your face, hear the birds, and allow nature to envelope you. While everyone longs for less stress, actually relaxing can be dauntingly stressful! However, a new study out of the United Kingdom sheds
light on one way people can de-stress: bird watching. The study finds people who watch birds from their home have lower depression, anxiety and stress compared to those that live in less leafy areas that have fewer birds. People “felt relaxed and connected to nature when they watched birds in their garden,” researchers say. These feelings increased with the level of bird feeding in the yard, they add. Specifically, the number of birds people might see was directly associated with better mental health. “This study starts to unpick the role that some key components of nature play for our mental well-being. Birds around the home and nature in general,
show great promise in preventive health care, making cities healthier, happier places to live,” says lead researcher Daniel Cox, Ph.D., from the University of Exeter. Dr. Tina Phillips, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, agrees. “Overwhelmingly, studies show that people feed birds because it makes them feel more relaxed, that it’s something they’re interested in and ultimately something that makes them feel good.” If you want to disconnect from the digital world and relieve some daily stress and anxiety, bird watching could be the key to increasing your mindful, mental health. Since studies reveal the more birds you see, the less likely you
are to be stressed and anxious, it’s important to attract as many birds as possible. The first step to attracting birds is to use an all-purpose tube feeder, which is the number one feeder choice, allowing birds to feed from multiple ports. Once you have the right feeder, you’ll need reliable seed that will bring birds to your backyard to deliver that dose of stress relief we all desire. The quality of birdseed will determine how many feathered friends will flock to your backyard. It is best to stay away from seed mixes with cheap filler seeds like milo and wheat whenever possible. For those who want to
discourage squirrels from raiding bird feeders, look for a double-walled sliding tube feeder; the weight of the uninvited critters will move the outer sleeve below the opening, shutting of access to seeds. Other options include suction-cup window feeders, which can be placed in locations the birds can easily reach but the squirrels and chipmunks cannot. Multiple options are available at a variety of stores; choose what works for you and your pocketbook. At the heart of it, everyone wants less stress and anxiety. Once you start watching birds in action, they’ll engage your attention in a way that keeps you in the moment,
a state that provides mental relief. Admiring their beauty, listening to their sweet song and enjoying their antics will calm your overactive mind and bring joy and renewal.

Suction-cup window feeders can be strategically placed where you can see the birds from inside your home while uninvited moochers can’t make the leap.

SPECTACULAR Celebrate all military this May
Memorial Day is celebrated each May to commemorate the people who died in service of the United States of America. Even though barbecues and visions of the upcoming summer weather may command much of the attention come Memorial Day weekend, the holiday really serves as a remembrance for those military members who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, as well as the personnel who continue to protect and serve today.
Memorial Day origins Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day and was borne out of the Civil War. on May 30, 1868, General John Logan, a national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, decreed General Order No. 11, which designated the day for the “purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” May 30th was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. It took several years for the first state to recognize the holiday, which New York adopted in 1873. By 1890, all
northern states recognized Decoration Day. When the holiday changed from commemorating those who died fighting the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war after World War I, the South began to recognize it as well.
Honoring the military Although Memorial Day pays homage to the brave people who perished fighting for their country, it also is an opportunity to recognize the military men and women and their families who continue to work to ensure the freedom of Americans. The United States Armed Forces is renowned for its size and strength. Various sources suggest the size of the United States military is somewhere between 1.4 and 1.6 million active service people. The military is comprised of the Army, Army National Guard, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Each of these military branches also has its own reserves. There are many ways to honor active, reserve and former veterans, as well as those who died in service of their country.
• Help Veterans of Foreign Wars distribute red poppies
as a visual reminder of the military’s efforts.
• Volunteer at a veterans’ hospital or visit a wounded veteran at home.
• Offer financial, legal or career expertise through the
Corporation for National & Community Service (serve.gov).
• Help to maintain the veteran area of a nearby cemetery. Place flags on all of the graves.
• Befriend military families who frequently relocate, making a concerted effort to welcome them into your community.
• Educate children about past wars and the services the military provides.
• Visit a military museum or historic site. • Observe the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 pm local time for one minute.
• Post a message to the troops at the USO website (uso.org).

Boy Scouts hold ‘Service to Camp’ camporee BELGRADE — Scouts and leaders from across Kennebec Valley District, BSA, attended the Spring Camporee at Camp Bomazeen on the shore of Great Pond in Belgrade in May 17-19. The theme of the camporee was “Service to Camp.” A planning meeting was held Friday evening, when project assignments were handed out to each youth leader for Saturday morning, when additional Scouts and leaders arrived. Together with the weekend campers, they put in over 400 hours of service preparing Camp Bomazeen for the summer season by cleaning up the campsites and clearing brush. Some leaders transported new tent platforms out to the campsites, while others cleared
away trees felled by winter storms. Another group of adult volunteers started construction on a new staff cabin. In the afternoon, several activities were held for the scouts as a thank-you for their service. Some of the more popular events included the Gaga Pit, a version of dodge ball; Catch the Snappah, where scouts lashed together a fishing pole to catch mouse traps, each one marked with what they caught such as an old boot, shark, or large fish; and Hula Hoop Circle, where the scouts joined hands in a circle and had to move one or more hula hoops around the circle without letting go. While the service and activities took place, about a dozen new volunteer leaders
completed “Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills” training to help them safely take youth out on future camping trips. At the Saturday evening campfire, there were songs and skits. Near the end of the program, 31 youth and leaders were recognized for being elected into the Order of the Arrow, the BSA’s national honor society. Troops 142, 200, 207, 446, 454, 586 and 622, Crew 254 and Packs 603 and 622; Troop 199 attended Saturday. Kennebec Valley District provides support to young boys and girls, ages 6 to 20, in various Boy Scout programs in five Maine counties — Kennebec, Somerset, Franklin, Lincoln and Knox.
