First Flag for Downtown Flag Project Commander Mike Mclean and the Calais American Legion are expanding a project to install flags on the street lamps in downtown Calais. With a donation of $40.00, a bracket and American flag will be placed on each street lamp starting in May. Last year, approximately 150 flags were installed, and Com- mander Mike hopes to extend the flags down Main Street to South Street. This project, says McLean, is in support of the downtown "Patriotism" Project. Last week, Coastal Glass purchased the first, new flag of 2017. (Photo by Amy Jeanroy)

PAGE 2 Donation to CES Lets Children’s Stage City to Challenge FEMA Adventures Visit Flood Insurance Hike By Lura Jackson Half a dozen businesses in the Milltown area will be facing significant increases to their insurance rates if recently completed federal floodplain surveying is allowed to stand. When the city administration became informed of the pending increase, a plan to challenge the findings began to take shape. “To me, it’s a federal land grab,” Mayor Billy Howard said at a city council meeting on March 9th. Howard described how other cities, including Camden, have contested the federal survey, finding a 3-foot difference between the federal report and independently acquired data. Councillor Mike Sherrard, owner of Sherrard’s Insurance Agency in Milltown (one of the businesses affected), explained how flood insurance is determined. “I sell flood insurance. It’s all offered through the federal government. The federal government draws up the maps and determines the rates. They pay the insurance companies a small fee to administer the program. When they have a more than normal amount of claims, like they do every single year in the Mississippi delta, they try to redraw the map so they can get the money from the rest of the country. They redrew the maps last year and they are implementing the new maps so they can make up their own deficit.” Mayor Howard said that he knew of at least two businesses, one in Eastport and one in Baring, that will be facing a $10,000 increase to their insurance. Others, depending on their size, may be looking at even more. “When businesses are run on 2 and 3 PTO members generously donated $2400 to the Calais Elementary School to make it possible for percent profit margins, you can’t go throwing in a $10,000 tag,” Children's Stage Adventures to come to the school for the week and perform with the students.

To contest the findings, the city initially enlisted the aid of Ran- som, a firm of engineers and scientists for the amount of $2,400. In its report, Ransom said that it found that the federal surveying ~MARCH MADNESS~ could indeed be contested based on several points of data, including the actual topography of the land.

“Logan” Doesn’t Disappoint By Kaileigh Deacon I had mixed feelings about going to see this movie. I enjoyed the original “X Men” movies but haven’t seen any of the stand alone movies that focused on Wolverine. I went in expecting a couple of hours of action, just another superhero movie, but I was in for a surprise. “Logan” is set in 2029 in a future where the X-Men are no longer a group but simply a memory. Mutants as a whole are dwindling to significantly smaller numbers. Hiding out in Mexico, Logan works as a chauffeur trying to forget himself in a bottle while trying to take care of the ailing Professor Xavier. When a woman approaches Logan about driving her and a young girl to the Canadian border, Logan’s ‘quiet’ life picks up. The woman is found dead and then the girl shows up at Logan’s hideout followed by several less than reputable men. Logan and Professor Xavier now work to get the Pictured are the 2017 5/6 grade Calais Recreation Tourney Champions from Holbrook.

Back Right off the bat this movie was much different than I expected. l-r: Coach Steve Kimball, Cameron Barker, Connor Boone, Andy Czapiga, Mason Shepherd, Tanner I was expecting non-stop full throttle action movie. I did get that Butterfield, and Coach Zac Nadeau. but also a story. “Logan” was about the character of Logan, not Wolverine, but the man Logan who Wolverine is a part of. You can tell Logan is having a hard time, but watching him work through it makes the character even more human than any film in the past. The acting was amazing all around, nothing about it faltered or left you wanting more. Hugh Jackman gives Logan/Wolverine life like we’ve never seen before with grit, strength, and humanity. Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier is brilliant and leaves nothing to be desired. But the real shining star of this film was newcomer Dafne Keen as Laura (x-23). This young girl blew me out of the water with her performance. Not only her acting but the physical work she had to do. She had many demanding physical scenes that she made seem effortless. I would issue a warning to any parents who want to take young X-Men fans to this film. This film was given an R rating for a reason. There are many scenes in the film that would be disturbing to younger viewers due the very graphic nature. There is also a substantial amount of bad language. After watching this film I have to say that I was completely en- tertained for the entire length of the film, even though it’s well over two hours long. The action was well done and not so over the top that it became unbelievable or unnecessarily gory. The story line was also interesting that it made it good to watch and more than just an action film. I would give this film five out of five stars for just pure entertainment. This is an excellent film and a wonderful addition to the X-Men and Wolverine franchises. Also there is a additional bit at the beginning of the film that is sure to have you in stitches.
