The Calais teams will be able to use the courts for practice in the springtime; however, as Sivret explained, that basic lines can be drawn on the base layer and a rudimentary net placed in the middle.

From the Editor’s Desk: The Value of the Present I was asked recently to write a piece for the St. Croix No. 1 Fire House time capsule, which is scheduled to be opened in 100 years. I found that, as a futurist and an environmentalist, addressing the people of 2117 was not an easy thing to do. There are many variables that are in the air (sometimes literally) as we speak, and it is difficult to know what the next century will bring. I’ve heard some people advocating for others to eat lobsters this Thanksgiving – if you do, please give thanks that you’re able to eat them. According to the University of Maine, lobsters will be extinct in 85 years if global warming continues as it has. A friend sent me a poem recently that included some helpful advice on the value of the present moment and the comfort we can find there if we allow ourselves to fully appreciate it. It included the tale of a woman, who, fleeing a tiger, climbed down a cliff with the help of a vine. Another tiger began circling below her, and two mice, one white and one black, began gnawing at the vine. In front of her, a wild strawberry was growing. Rather than bemoaning the tiger or the mice, what did she do? She enjoyed the heck out of that strawberry.

To The Editor: It was so reassuring to read the governor boast- ing about the $111 million surplus. As your “shepherd,” surely he will see that all the sheep and lambs are well fed and housed and healthy. Your cup runneth over. -Ken Murray

CHS Holds 16th Annual Coffee House Photos by Kaileigh Deacon

By Kaileigh Deacon On Thursday evening the cafeteria at Calais High School was transformed into a café and the stage into a performance space. The event, which has been an annual event for the last sixteen years, has been a way for Calais students and local artists to showcase their musical talent and provide an evening of entertainment for the community. The event also doubles as a fundraiser for the Calais Middle and High School music programs. The money raised from the event goes to help the program with trips and supplies.

Down East Credit Union Warms Hands and Hearts of Calais Boy Scouts Thanks to the generous efforts of Down East Credit Union team members and membership, 40 Calais Boy Scouts of all ages will have a warmer hall for meetings this winter. This summer and fall, DECU team members hosted a car wash, company dress down days, bottle drives, and collected do- nations from local businesses and membership. They raised $2,500, which was matched by Down East Credit Union for a total donation of $5,000. This allowed the Boy Scouts to install a new heating system in their building and open up more rooms for expansion of the scouting program. “We are so thankful to DECU for jumping in and being so generous with their contribution. Many boys will benefit for years to come!” exclaims Cub Master, Sonya DePriest. “This collaboration between DECU and the Calais Boy Scouts was a true team effort from our membership, co- workers, and local businesses,” adds Calais DECU Branch Manager, Becky Perkins. “Giving back to the communities we serve is a very important principle for Down East Credit Union.” Front row, Ray Smale, Jordan Clark, Ethan Clark, Katie Clark; Back Row, Jessica Brown, Jordan Metta, Diane Richendollar, Becky Perkins, Tom Parks.

The students of Washington County Community College’s Supervisory Management class are working to raise funds and items to put together to ensure that some very special members of the community have a happy holiday season: the residents and their families of the Maine Veterans’ Homes in Machias. The effort is part of the business program’s focus on providing students with hands-on service learning projects that unite the personal interests of each class with a meaningful activity that im- pacts or engages the community. In previous years, students have sent shoes to Tanzania, organized an anti-bullying program for area youth, and sent personalized gift boxes to the men and women of the armed forces, and many other projects. For this year’s project, students began by collecting donations from area businesses for a raffle of two different baskets. One basket included gift cards to Nook and Cranny, Walmart, and Dunkin Donuts, along with a necklace, lotion, and handmade items. The second basket included kitchen amenities such as a loaf pan and strainer, knives, wine glasses, and other utensils. The winners, Patty Ferguson from WCCC and Joanna Oakes from Machias, were drawn on November 16th. The proceeds from the raffle will be used to purchase materials to make handmade knot blankets and other items to be included in gift boxes for the 30 residents of the Maine Veterans’ Homes. The class is aiming to hold a Christmas party for veterans and their families at the home in De- cember. “Our goal is to show these veterans they are not forgotten and to appreciate the services they gave to us by giving to them,” said Sarah Norton, one of the students helping to coordinate the effort.
