Daniel L. Lacasse CHS Student Council Helps New Sound System Attorney at Law PAWS Needed For Calais General Practice of Law By Amy Jeanroy Defense of Foreclosure If you have ever attended a gathering in the Calais area, you ~We are a Debt Relief Agency~ may have noticed that the sound system is not what it should be. We help people file for bankruptcy This keeps everyone from hearing the musicians properly and relief under the Bankruptcy Code makes it hard to participate in group events that require ongoing conversation with the presenter. It's important for any group 454-7543 function to have proper equipment, and it's time for Calais to improve the sound system. A sound system is more than a mic and speaker. According to Cynthia Dineen, music teacher for CES, a sound system takes the place of a PA and monitoring system. It provides a wide, even coverage and is extremely resistant to feedback (that screeching noise you sometimes hear while attending an event that includes a microphone.) • Garage Doors • Windows Mrs. Dineen has found a suitable system, but time is of the es- • Doors • Lead Renovations sence.

The goal is to have the sound system by that date, but it isn't going to be easy. When asked about fundraising possibilities, Dineen has a few ideas: "Someone suggested a raffle. The sixth grade students want to do a bottle drive. Maybe local businesses would be interested-any ideas are welcome!" We meet/beat ANY competitor’s ad price! If a fundraiser does come together, everyone will benefit.

Each month, produce convinced Linton that that was the direction that the VCC needed to go in. An acre plot was donated for the foodbank’s use by local farmer Steve Mclay. Mclay—whom Linton refers to as a “master planter”— planted rows of squash, turnip, onion, and carrots. With the help of youth volunteers, the garden soon blossomed. “I remember thinking, ‘People need to eat this,’” she recalled. When the bugs started to appear on the growing plants, they were sprayed with pesticides. To protect her volunteers from exposure to concentrated doses of toxins, she did not bring them out to weed immediately, and shortly thereafter the youth volunteers returned to school. As a result, three weeks passed, and the garden became overgrown with weeds. Despite being overgrown, several particularly hearty vegetables continued to thrive in the acre plot. Just before October 12th, when Canada celebrated Thanksgiving last year, Linton was contacted by Mclay, who urged her to come and harvest the garden. A few days later, more than 1,600 pounds of produce was harvested, all of which was sold for fifty cents a pound. “That’s only a fifth of what a garden that size would produce if we had weeded it throughout,” Linton said. The impact of the size of the harvest on the youth volunteers was profound. Linton remembers telling one of them, “You can go to work for big conglom- erates that exist today, or you can go to work and find a new (continued on page 7) PAGE 7

Little League Tag Day

Boys and girls who make up the Calais Little League were busy at various locations across town during last Saturday's annual tag day. The event provides an opportunity for the young athletes to raise funds for the general operating costs of the league, such as the required insurance, field maintenance, league shirts, equipment, etc. The kids said folks were very generous to the cause and wish to thank Calais Ace, EBS, Johnson's True Value, Marden's, McDonald's, Tradewinds Shop 'n Save, and Walmart for their support of tag day.

By Jayna Smith Students at Calais Elemen- tary School enjoyed taking a break from the classroom to attend the annual health fair last Thursday. About 25 organizations presented information and other learning material to the eager children. The health fair is an annual event held at the school each spring and is organized by school nurse Mrs. Sue Clark. Throughout the day, each classroom visited the gymnasium where the numerous presenters were set up. At each table, the students learned something new, from boating safety and bicycle safety to healthy eating and physical fitness. Interactive games were also available for the students, add- ing to the fun learning experience. As well, no child left empty-handed.

Water Sewer Upgrades The Howdie Doodie pattern was named for the television puppet created by Buffalo Bob Smith who summered for many years near Grand Lake Stream. Upham changed Howdy’s spelling slightly to avoid copyright entanglements. “And they all catch fish,” says Mehegan, a long-time Boston broadcaster. “They’re not just museum pieces but were intended by Bob to be fished.” Bob Upham is recognized well beyond Maine as a superb out- door craftsman. His patterns have been featured in many books on streamer flies. “He belongs in the pantheon of great Maine fly tiers,” says Les Hilyard, co-author of the recent acclaimed biography of famed Rangeley tier Carrie Stevens. And he will be long remembered, thanks to a band of loyal fly fishers who knew him best.

Workers have been hard at work over the past few weeks replacing the water and sewer infra- structure in the Memorial Park/Temperance Street area. (Photo by Lura Jackson).
