The Value of Recognizing From the Editor: Human Interconnection

This week, one of the resounding themes in the stories we covered has been that of interconnection. For the graduates honored with a ceremony signifying their departure from high school, commencement is as much about the cementing of an evolving, lifelong bond with their peers. At the St. Anne’s talk on Sunday, meanwhile, a group of community members learned about how they can restore justice to their fellow human beings – a step that most certainly includes recognizing them as such. Over and over again, at event after event, evidence is abounding that people are seeking to honor the value of their relationships with one another. Humans have always thrived on the spirit of cooperation and solidarity, both of which are traits that communities like eastern Washington County can and do exemplify. Part of that is because many people here are related, or they know one another from a past situation. Relationships that form in Kindergarten routinely play out into their 9th decade or more, enriching both parties indefinitely. It is that understanding – that we all do better when we do it together – that can be the gift of communities like Washington County to the world. When a graduate from this area takes their understanding of the value of relationships and expands it to wherever they travel, they have the chance to impart much more than whatever education and skills they bring. When we personally step back and recognize that everyone in the world is no more than our 16th cousin, the importance and responsibility of embracing a “small town mindset” on a global capacity becomes even more clear.

Independent research conducted to determine the health benefits of Zumba have found that it can be considered to be an effective way to increase aerobic capacity. Other benefits have been found in improving muscle strength and flexibility and in reducing body weight. Aside from the physical benefits, psychological improvements have been recorded as a result of the social nature of the activity. For those without a lot of dance experience or coordina- tion, there’s no need to worry. Puma emphasizes that the goal is to get moving, and however you may do that is completely ok – provided you’re listening to your body and not over stressing it. Since a lot of the steps are repeated in different songs, and since the playlists generally stay the same depending on which day you come, Puma explains that it becomes easier on the brain to follow along over time. Zumba is offered at St. Anne’s on Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30-9:30. The playlist for Monday is different than that of Thursday, so coming on both days will expose the participant to the largest variety of movements. No pre- registration is required at this time. Puma accepts a $3-$8 donation to cover the cost of renting the space in the church, but for those without means to pay she is willing to be flexible. Childcare is provided on site at no added cost.

BECKY E. DEVOE GRAVESIDE SERVICE Dennysville-Edmunds Congregational Church The monthly breakfast was again a delicious experience, and the cooks were sharing out some of the leftovers, as in about 10 pancakes that weren’t claimed before the breakfasters were all gone. They ended up providing the Casterlins with lunch on Sunday, when they were madly trying to get packed up and ready for their trip to Pennsylvania. We wish them safe travels. It was announced on Sunday that, due to various folks’ complicated schedules, the Annual Meeting will be postponed from the traditional May date to sometime in June, TBA. No dinner this month at the Parish Hall due to the up-coming Dennysville Ambulance public dinner at the Pembroke School later in the month. More details next week.

Wildlife Photo Submissions Guest Voice Dealing with Bears in Our Communities Brad Richard, Maine Game Warden There have been some bear sightings around the Baileyville and Calais areas, which is not uncommon, but oftentimes it makes people uneasy and they Here's a photo of our resident Bluebird pair at our birdbath yester- want something done imme- day in Meddybemps. (Photo submitted by Pete & Liz Trouant) diately. There are some things that the homeowner can do to help prevent them from trying to become an unwanted resident of your neighborhood. This time of year, bears have been out of hibernation for some time and they are looking for any easy meals. They like trash, bird feeders, bee hives, barbeque grills and any other type of food. There is usually a period after the grass turns green and before the natural fruit ripens in which they can be quite a nuisance. Once wild strawberries come out, we usually see problems go down. (Two above photos by Donna Melanson) The best advice to avoid is- sues with bears is to not give them a reason to stop at your house or neighborhood. Keep (Photo by Nada Williams) your trash inside a building if possible. If not, make sure you have covers on your trash cans and keep them on, even if there is nothing in them. Take in your birdfeeders and try to clean up any seeds on the ground as well. Keep your grill clean and take out any grease pans at the bottom of the grill. Never approach bears or any other wildlife as they are unpredictable and can be dan- gerous. Leave bears alone and do not feed them. Once you start it, they will continue to Tom Brennan has been chronicling the story of a robin family roosting near his home. The photos are taken remotely.
