Holmes was awarded for being a “Top Performer” within the company and for contributing over 25 years of service to the children of the community of Calais. Along with a framed plaque, Holmes will receive a bonus of $1,000. This is the second year that CFO has sponsored the award, which is given to up to five outstanding employees selected from various centers in Washington and Hancock counties. “This award is based on dedication and commitment to the children and families in this area,” Calais site manager Marcia Rogers says, adding, “We are very honored that Cathy was se- lected. It’s her passion that separates her, her passion to make sure kids get what they need.” Holmes has been caring for and teaching children since the local center was located at the Methodist Church on Main Street (where “the stream ran through the basement each spring”, both women recalled with nostalgic fondness). She continues to enjoy her work, and her tenure comes with additional benefits. “It’s neat that I have the kids now of moms and dads that I had when they were three or four,” she says with a luminous smile. “I love it. Seeing their smiles, their happiness, seeing them bloom from a little seed into a flower.”

Cathy Holmes received special recognition on Monday for her dedication to the community and to CFO.

High School Baseball The Woodland Dragons had their season opener last Friday at home against the Shead Tigers. John Cushing had a double in the opening frame to drive Will Urquhart home. Damon Lincoln scored in the bottom half to tie the contest. In the bottom of five a Cochran single was followed by a Boies rbi-single to take the 2-1 lead. In the top of six an rbi-single by Tony Theriault knotted the game again at 2-2. However, in the bottom of six we saw the Dragons bats explode with hits from Riley Russell, Riley Pratt, Damon Lincoln, Scott Boies, and CJ Brown collecting 5-runs and a 7-2 lead. Damon closed out the final two innings earning a 7-2 win. Damon allowed 1-hit with 3k, and 2-walks. Tyler Cochran pitched a solid five-frames allowing 2-hits with 10k, and 2bb.

Does there seem to be confusion by your customers about THE TV CROSSWORD what services you actually offer? Do you want to increase traffic through your door?,” asked Josh by Jacqueline E. Mathews Spencer, a Chamber director and originator of the event. “This event will be an opportunity to really spotlight your business. We are hoping that every business in Machias will participate with sales, raffles, music, sidewalk sales, flags or balloons - everything that will make this a true celebration and a pull for customers to shop locally.” Spencer said that how each business highlights itself will be an individual decision but that each business should have a poster or list of services prominently on display. “We will be heavily pro- moting the day and will be listing each participating business in all promotional material,” Spencer said. “Let’s all pull together to make Machias open for business.” Visitors will reap the benefits of sales, a giant raffle with products donated from participating businesses and an increased awareness of what they can get from the independent businesses owned by their neighbors in Machias. Any Machias business that wishes to participate, should contact the Chamber at 255.4402 or [email protected] to be listed in future advertising.

In Memory In Memory of Hilda J. (Cousins) Greenlaw June 6, 1934 - April 17, 2007 Rev. Linwood R. Trott I feel a warmth around me like your presence is so near, For some time now, I have heard the accusation and excuses that Christians are a bunch of And I close my eyes to visualize hypocrites. Those accusing others of being hypocrites are among the most judgmental people I your face when you were here, have encountered. The reason for my observation is the reality of what a hypocrite is. Accord- I endure the times we spent together ing to most definitions, a hypocrite is an individual who projects an image that is not true or and they are locked inside my heart, real with the intent to deceive. Our word “actor” comes very close to the meaning of hypocrite. For as long as I have those memories When someone calls a person a hypocrite, they are proclaiming that they know the motive of the we will never be apart, person they believe is unreal. I’d like to suggest that that judgment is many times inaccurate. Even though we can't speak any more The appearance of hypocrisy is not necessarily hypocrisy unless it is motivated by a desire to your voice is always there, deceive. Some claiming to be Christians are new to the faith and though they are sure of what Because every night before I sleep they should be in word and action, these novices are unable to sustain a “perfect” record in the I have you in my prayer. eyes of observers. Others are struggling with difficult personal obstacles that are being worked on but have not been conquered. Still others are coming from a long way away from the perfect Sadly missed by her husband, of 53 years, Allen standard and though they have experienced growth still have a long way to go (in all honesty Sons - Butch and David every Christian has a long way to go). When believers throw around this accusation, judgment Daughters - Becky Willson and Jo Anne Doten must have occurred in their hearts and minds. We are told to judge righteously (John 7:24). Unless Daughter-in-laws - Dedi and Mary Jo a person tells you they are trying to deceive, you are judging unrighteously because the motive Grandchildren - Tracy, Deneika, Ryan, is unknown. The most that should ever be said is that the words or actions appear hypocritical. Danielle, DJ and Stephanie Of course, that should only be communicated to the individual being heard or observed. plus Some use the excuse of hypocrisy to avoid church or Christians in general. I’ve been amazed 12 Great-Grandchildren at the power unbelievers give to “hypocrites.” First, no true Christian claims to be perfect. Christians are imperfect people who have been forgiven for sin. Every attempt to live a “per- fect” life is an act of obedience to God’s command in Matthew 5:48. The idea of perfection taught in the Bible is one of being mature or fully developed. No honest, mature person would In Memory claim sinlessness. Second, just because a Christian is imperfect does not mean that Christ is somehow deficient. A student in a class may be lacking knowledge but that does not mean the teacher lacks knowledge. Third, why does anyone give power over their personal decisions to a person they deem a hypocrite? If they are truly deceptive why give them control over personal choices. I believe Christianity should be evaluated honestly by what Jesus said and did, not by what imperfect followers say and do. The original is the most accurate standard. Are their hypocrites in church? Yes, probably, to give an unqualified answer would be to judge. There may be some who “play the game” just to look good in the eyes of others. Giving actors control over my spiritual well being is foolish at best and deadly at worst. I would further suggest that deciding for or against Christ and Christianity should be done only with accurate information. This information is available if you are willing to seek it from a reliable source – the Bible. Attending a church that teaches the Bible will also help. Jesus said in John 8:31-32 that continuing in His words sets people free from play acting. My hope is that accusations and excuses will diminish and truly freed people will increase. Critics of Christians are evaluating from what some would call an objective position. Objectiv- ity does not guarantee accuracy. The unmarried may have a lot to say about marriage but their objectivity makes their words hollow. I believe the more a person gets to know Jesus Christ through a growing personal relationship the more likely he or she will see the truth of Christ and Christianity. In Loving Memory of Glenn L. Martin 4/30/1960 to 5/3/2008 As tears roll down our face, We know you're in a better place. We close our eyes to see your face, suddenly we feel a warm embrace. With a smile so wide it brings tears to our eyes. We try so hard not to cry all of our pain we cannot hide. You always knew just what to say to anyone having a bad day. We don't know if we will ever understand but it must be part of God's plan. As we look up towards the blue sky we imagine you spreading your wings to fly. Be sure to give our Mom a sign so she knows you are in Heaven, and everything is fine. Tell everyone there we send our love, to all of our Angels up above. As the tears roll down our face We know you are in a better place. RIP our dear son, brother and uncle until we meet again. Happy 54th Birthday to you and Happy 32nd to Jason.
