I had the opportunity to attend a couple of meetings and was so impressed that I wanted to share. On Thursday, Chief Posick gave a budget workshop on both the Ambulance and the Fire budgets for 2014-2015. As you can imagine, budget meetings are not known as being exciting (for the most part), but this one was exceptional. First of all, the Chief handed out the budgets, accompanied by a detailed explanation of savings and expenditures. As he went through the budget, he gave reasoning behind his decisions, and welcomed questions on anything. It felt as if he was perhaps not thrilled to have to stand in front of everyone and speak, but he certainly knew what he was talking about, and had done a thorough job of working the numbers. Both budgets were the best examples of transparency and full disclosure I have ever seen. Perhaps anyone who is about to embark on a budget meeting could ask for some tips on organization from Chief Posick. Amy Jeanroy, Editor

CALAIS ADVERTISER, MARCH 27, 2014 PAGE 11 Lion’s Club Presents Plaque If you enter the Hannaford grocery store in Calais, Maine for over 10 years, you have seen the Lion’s club charity book rack. The rack is full of used books, a little collection of well loved stories that are available to buy for $1.00 each. There is a small box located right on the rack where you can put your money, on the honor system. Your dollars go directly to the Lion’s club. For years, Lion John Hazelwood took care of the book rack. Now that he has passed, his wife Mary and the employees at Shop and Save help keep the rack straightened and organized. Dave Johnson and Mark Walton presented award of appreciation to Manager Carla of Paradis Shop and Save as a thank you for having the book rack in their location. The book rack makes it convenient for the community to help out a wonderful charity and get a good read at the same time. The award says in part: “To Paradis Shop and Save for your continuing dedication in support of the Lion’s Club Book Rack and Lion’s Club Charities and what it represents.” If you would like to donate books for the book rack, bring them to Johnson’s Hardware or WQDY.

John Quatermain, mayor of St. Stephen, cited presumptive Cornerstone, The Downeast Worship Team from estimates and early problems with the ground as causative factors in the delays. While ground core Trenton, from Machias samples were taken and tested for feasibility, by random chance the samples were all drawn from amenable spots, while the actual ground required work to allow for the construction. Moreover, the Christian Fellowship and Grace Period Worship initial time frame was likely unrealistic. Mayor Quatermain compared Garcelon Civic Center to from Pembroke. the Cuplex in St. John, the centers are roughly equivalent but the Cuplex took considerably longer to build than the original opening date of the St. Stephen center.

U.S. Cellular does not represent or warrant that the U.S. Cellular Home Phone is equivalent to landline phone service. 911 calls made using the U.S. Cellular Home Phone Service are routed using U.S. Cellular’ s automatic location technology and users should be prepared to provide their physical address to emergency responders. While the Device does contain a GPS chip, its connection may be limited due to the Device’s location within the home. The GPS chip will work best if the Device is located near a window or other opening. A corded or cordless landline phone must be connected to the Device in order to use the U.S. Cellular Home Phone to operate. A corded or Cordless landline phone is not included. While the Device does have a backup battery, if the landline phone to which the Device is connected requires external electric power to operate, Service (including the ability to make and receive 911 calls) will not be available during a power outage.
