aine has a very long history dating back M thousands of years measured from the earliest human settlement. It reached statehood in 1820, becom- ing the 23rd state on March 15. Sounds strange, but our state was part of the Missouri Compromise. It was also part of Massachusetts. Maine is famous for its sandy beaches on the south- ern coastline and rugged rocky coastline on northeast shores. A couple of our foods also bring fame – we’re the country’s leading producer of lobsters and blueberries. Be sure to enjoy both during the summer. Located in the northeastern region of the country, Maine is the 12th smallest state by area, covering just 35,385 square miles, and the 9th least populous of all states. Our state is the only one in the country that borders only one other state – New Hampshire to the West. Our northern bor- der is Canada.

ccording to the calendar, summer doesn’t officially A arrive until June 21. However, many telltale signs of summer in Maine are already present – black flies, mosqui- toes, dandelion-covered lawns, and traffic from away. Along with these signs of summer, some people are beginning to experi- ence summer allergy symptoms. Scott Dyer DO, Maine General allergy and asthma specialist, said that summer allergies can cause multiple symptoms. Sneez- ing, runny nose, watery eyes and even dark circles under the eyes can all be signs of a summer allergy. Dyer said that the most effec- tive way to treat summer allergies is to start using antihistamines before symptoms even begin. “The first line treatment [for seasonal allergies] would be a non-drowsy antihistamine like Zyrtec® or Allegra®,” said Dyer. “Those work better if taken be- fore pollen season starts.” Dyer said that if antihistamines alone don’t control a person’s symptoms, they might want to consider using a steroid intrana- sal spray like Flonase®, Rhino- could bring a person into contact pollen. raise awareness of the serious- Bee stings can also cause cort®, or Nasocort®.

Camping Continued from page 58

Don’t drive beyond your headlights. If you can’t stop within the distance of your headlight visibility, you could hit something just beyond your viewing area. If you see a moose standing in or near the roadway, use ex- treme caution. Slow down. Don’t try to drive around the moose. Stay in your vehicle. Give the moose plenty of room and allow them to wander back off the road. According to Maine DOT, if a crash is unavoidable,drivers should do the following: Apply the brakes. Let up on the brake just before impact. Try to aim at the tail of the animal. Duck down to minimize injuries. Becky Miller, co-owner of the Augusta/Gardiner KOA camp- ground, said recently that caution should be taken when building campfires. Campers should only build fires within the designated fire rings and should never leave a fire unattended. Miller said that it’s also important to be cautious about stray animals while camping because the animals could be dangerous and/or carry rabies. “Stray animals (such as) foxes or raccoons could be a prob- lem,” said Miller. “Always keep your food locked up at night in the trunk of the car or in the camper.” The Augusta/Gardiner KOA Campground, located at 30 Mallard Drive in Richmond, is open April 1- November 30. They have four cabins and 74 campsites including both RV and tent sites. Antiques Directory Antiques, collectibles, and other rare and unique fi nds are waiting for you!
