Between our federal and state administrations, we are sitting at a terribly fascinating crossroads at the moment. On the one hand, our federal administration has effectively locked itself down as the battle between the wills of the president and of the legislature continue over a border that is approximately 2,500 miles away from Calais. On the other hand, our newly-installed state administration is charging forward, having already expanded access to MaineCare and pinpointing aggressive goals for renewable energy to address the worsening climate crisis. Granted, while they have similar structures, federal and state governments are very different in their approaches. State govern- ments should naturally cater to the needs and growth of the residents of that state, while the federal government is responsible for the needs and growth of every citizen in the country. Ideally, the two will work in tandem to improve citizens’ lives, with federal policies augmenting state policies and vice versa. While arguments about the impact of the southern border on the lives of Mainers can be made, the reality of jeopardizing food secu- rity for 25 percent of the most vulnerable residents of Washington County carries substantially more weight – and paints a picture of a federal administration that is more interested in making political points than in helping its citizens in their time of potentially dire need. On the flipside, Maine’s new climate policy and the Medicaid expansion benefit not only the residents of Maine but those of the nation as a whole, and in the case of climate, the world.

This physical and nutritional competi- tion encourages young children to develop healthy habits over the course of the four-week program. Each school will try to earn as many points as possible for the grand prize: $5,000 donated to their school. In total 7,635 students and 650 teachers and staff from every county in Maine will be participating in the Winter Games. Each week of the program will feature one challenge, and the percentage of students who complete the challenge will determine how many points each school receives. Students will be challenged to complete five outdoor activities in week one, complete five healthy eating activities in week two, complete these activities at home with their families in week three, and participate in a winter carnival celebrating outdoor activity in week four. Schools will hold additional events to support these goals, like hosting opening and closing ceremonies, col- laborating with nutritional organizations, and hosting events focusing on family health. Schools can earn bonus points by exceeding the minimum activity requirements, inviting Last week’s students at Calais Elementary school that were “caught guest speakers to school, and including non-teaching staff in the competition. WinterKids will being good” were Colby Moholland, Ben Harvey, Damien Drake and Liam Page. Congratulations boys and keep up the good work. also grant weekly “Wild Card” bonus points. Schools will submit their favorite moment of the (Submitted photo) Winter Games from that week (photo, video, or text) to a panel of judges. Meteorologist Sarah Long will announce the top three “Wild Card” winners each Sunday morning during WMTW’s Maine’s Total Weather segment. “The inaugural year of the WinterKids Winter Games exceeded our expectations tenfold. SCRTC News Teachers, students, parents and entire communities embraced this program with enthusiasm and a spirit of friendly competition that is unsurpassed,” says Julie Mulkern, WinterKids’ Executive Director. “We are so excited to double the participation in the Games this year and see what schools have in store to celebrate winter and stay active.” WinterKids will be kicking off the Winter Games at the participating Canal School in West- brook on January 7. The opening ceremonies will begin at 9:45 a.m. The WinterKids staff and board of directors will attend along with local and state representatives, Maine mascots, sponsors, and more. The Winter Games will close on February 8 and winners are announced on February 15. In addition to the $5,000 grand prize, there is $3,000 for silver, and $1,500 for bronze. WinterKids has helped over 100,000 Maine children to be active outdoors in the winter through unique programs statewide. In addition to in-school outreach, the new WinterKids App provides Maine and New Hampshire families with affordable access to winter activities. WinterKids major community sponsor is Hannaford. WinterKids Supporting Sponsors are Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Irving Oil, L.L.Bean, WEX, and WMTW Channel 8. WinterKids was the 2018 beneficiary of the TD Beach to Beacon Road Race. Additional support for the WinterKids Winter Games is provided by The Bingham Program, Emera Maine, Let’s Go!, Olympia Sports, and the Ski Maine Association. Learn more at www.winterkids.org.

Please remember to bring your sneakers. There was fun in the AES Library this week when Pre-K and kindergarten and 1st Grade kids heard two stories by Eileen Christelow “5 Little Monkeys with Nothing To Do” and “Five Little Monkeys Wash a Car”. Both books were a big hit and for a craft, they made monkey masks. The first graders also had time to design a car just like the monkeys did in the book. The library week concluded with the 2nd and 3rd Graders coming to the library to hear the same two Five Monkey books and making monkey masks and designing very intricate vehicles. Five Little Monkeys are always a huge hit at the AES Library.

Year's private gathering. We know not when or where Almeda met Manley Townsend, but know they married on May We would also like to congratulate our newly elected officers 21, 1832. Manley Butterfield Townsend, born May 8, 1802, at Sidney on the Kennebec River, Chief Vincent Day, Asst. Chief George Cross, and Captain Jeff was a graduate of Waterville (Colby) College. He read law with O.L. Bridges to become a lawyer Orchard on their promotions! and moved to Calais where he paid personal property taxes in 1828 and practiced law there from Chief Hatton is standing down as the department chief after many 1831 until 1842. During 1839 Manley served as aide-de-camp for Governor Fairfield providing dedicated years, however he will continue serving the Department as supplies for the militia marching from Calais to the Aroostook War. a senior firefighter on our team as we transition into the new era. It is said that Manley built the big house that stood on Townsend Hill, across from the present Happy New Year everyone! Grange Hall. That was ca 1842. His intent was to be a gentleman farmer, earning a living by speculating on land. He was elected to the Maine State Senate and served from 1844 to 1846. He was President of the Senate in 1845. Manley Townsend died on December 7, 1849, and is buried in a marked grave at the Alexander Cemetery. His will was probated and can be viewed in Machias. His personal property was val- ued at just over $100; his farm was worth $92. His death had cost nearly $90 and he owed nearly $5,000 to his father-in-law, i.e. Almeda’s father Abner Sawyer. Almeda sold lot 60 in Alexander to get by. When Manley died, Almeda’s children ranged from ages 2 to 16. The 1850 census records give us a picture of Almeda as a new widow. She was 38 years old and owner of real estate valued at $6,000. Her six children were Abner (17), George (15), Mary (13), Manley (9), Thomas (5) and Phebe (3). Living in the home also was Albion K.P. Townsend, a 27-year-old teacher who was her youngest brother-in-law. Jerimiah Spearin (22) a neighbor’s son and Robert Ellis (48) of Ireland were likely hired men and Catherine O’Brien (18), also from Ireland, was likely the hired girl. We are fortunate that agricultural censuses were done starting in 1850. The head of the house- hold was supposed to honestly answer questions of the census taker. John Dudley does not know if these numbers are all correct, but we have to assume so. Almeda had 130 acres of improved land (cleared), 250 acres of unimproved land (wild or woodland, often cattle were pastured in the woods). The cash value of the land and buildings was $8000. Her farming implements were worth $125. Almeda had one horse and a bunch of cattle including eight milk cows, six oxen and six young cattle. Her flock of sheep numbered 28 and produced $84 worth of wool. Her field crops included 12 bushels of peas and or beans (for drying) and 200 bushels of Irish potatoes. So, unlike the other widows described, Almeda appears to have had a home for her family, land suitable for growing food to eat and to sell, power to plant and harvest (hired help) and livestock (valued at $500). Was the debt owed to her father ever paid off?
