Jodi Cornelio photos A massive tree growing next to the back wall of Turner Publishing’s headquarters in Turner came down recently, thanks to the expertise of Dennis Couture Logging of Jay. Couture was assisted by Steve Thompson (not in photo). All the newspaper employees there that day gave their best guesses as to the age of the tree, but Couture came the closest, with the actual age topping out at 72 years in the making.

One morning, when my son was about seven years-old, I came into the kitchen where he was standing, plunging his hands into a bowl of what looked like chocolate batter. I said, “Bill, what in the world are you
doing?” He said, “I’m making brownies.” I asked him why he was covered in chocolate. He said, “Because the directions said to beat by hand!” That was exactly was he was doing! I never laughed so hard in my whole life. —

Tamara Tuthill, Auburn I’ve had my greatgrandson almost every weekend since he was a baby. One day, when he was four years old, I told him we had to wash our hands before lunch. I asked
him if he wanted to use hand sanitizer or soap and water. He looked at me and said, “ I want to use HANITIZER!” I laugh every time I think of it, even now. He’s now almost seven years-old. – Pricilla Pond, Lewiston.

Spring & Summer
SPECTACULAR
Design a dream outdoor entertaining space Upon the arrival of warm weather, many individuals prefer to spend their free time outside, relishing the fresh air and sunshine and evenings spent under the stars. But cracked patios and makeshift chairs and tables may not establish the desired ambiance. An outdoor entertaining area that offers the same amenities found inside a home can make outdoor retreats both comfortable and functional. Creative planning can help homeowners design dream areas perfect for hosting friends or family.
Establish goals As with any project, the first step when coordinating outdoor living areas is to determine what you hope to achieve with the space. Will it be a location for lounging? Will people be cooking meals outside? Is the pool the central focus of the yard? Answering these
questions and more can help homeowners decide how to design their entertaining spaces. Remember, however, that goals may evolve as landscape designers and even architects make their own suggestions for the space or present limitations.
Evaluate the space Look at the lot and decide what will go where, such as where to place the party space, where to create a quiet hideaway and where to locate a poolhouse or outdoor shower. A large, flat yard can be divided into a series of patios that serve different purposes. Yards that are built on a hill or a slope can still be utilized with creative design elements, such as multi-tiered decking. By working with qualified designers, homeowners can bring their ideas to life.
Easy food and drink access Traipsing in and out of the house for refreshments can become tiresome when entertaining outside. In such situations, people also can track dirt inside of the home or leave a trail of pool water in their wake. Outdoor kitchens allow easy access to food and drink that makes outdoor entertaining much easier. The experts at Angie’s List
suggest outdoor kitchens be built close to the house to make it easier to run electricity and plumbing to the outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens should include a sink, small refrigerator, built-in grill and bar area.
Creature comforts Homeowners should think about the things that make the inside of their homes so comfortable and
then replicate that outside. Sofas and loveseats covered in fabric suited for outdoors and plenty of pillows can make for great lounging. Lighting that can be adjusted for day or night, or even to set the mood, is another consideration. Shade structures, like a trellis or retractable awning, will keep the area comfortable and can also define outdoor “rooms” and establish privacy.
Fire it up Many homeowners enjoy having fire elements in their yards. Lanterns and candles may create a romantic feel, but a fire pit or outdoor fireplace may help extend use of the outdoor entertaining area beyond summer. Entertaining outdoors is made that much more enticing with a dream outdoor living space full of amenities.

What’s wrong with me?
Jodi Cornelio
Live Long, Live Well Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and Motivational Speaker jcornelio@turnerpublishing.net
The other day I spent 30 minutes looking for a financial document I promised I would deliver to our office administrator. After exhausting all logical hiding places, I decided to recreate it, so I spent an additional 40 minutes racking my brain while drafting up
a new document. Within the hour, signed, sealed and delivered, I presented the document to my office administrator and continued onto the next mission. Being on screech since 5 a.m., I had an overwhelming thirst. As I swung open the refrigerator to investigate the beverage situation, there it was, “my financial document,” hiding behind the orange juice. Have you ever had a morning like this? Please tell me I am not alone. I thought, what’s wrong with my brain? Why didn’t I see that document when I reached for eggs earlier that day? Oh God, Is it
menopause or maybe I should start drinking decaf? What’s wrong with me? Naturally, and no surprise to anyone who knows me, I started researching foods that help with brain power. Then I started researching exercise and nutrition for eye health and vision. I do eat lots of leafy greens and vegetables that enhance eye health. I also eat nuts and salmon, containing omega 3 fatty acids to help with brain function and memory — all great material for futures articles but no answers to my lost document craziness — so I sat
back and pondered. Reality check and the lights came on. The truth is there is nothing wrong with me or you, for that matter. We are normal Boomers trying to get it all done in a world of craziness, while juggling multiple roles with family, work and play. Now what to do about it? How about if we all lean on each other and say, “It’s OK to take a break; it’s OK to go for a walk and clear your head; it’s OK to take time for self.” Did you know you can be 22 percent more productive and have a 21 percent clearer mind with only 30
minutes of exercise a day? That is good self-time well spent. A recent study by The University of Bristol in England analyzed 200 employees at three different locations working in different industries. The employees evaluated themselves on a day with exercise and a day without. The results were astonishing. On workout days, participants’ scores were 21 percent higher for concentration on work, 22 percent higher for finishing their work on time, 25 percent higher for working without unscheduled
breaks, and an incredible 41 percent higher for feeling motivated to work. There are many other studies proving similar results. By giving yourself more attention through exercise, you can actually give more to those you love. So, you ask, what is the best exercise? I say anything you love doing. Luckily for us Boomers, the number one answer science has come up with is “walking.” Almost everyone can walk, and it doesn’t take special equipment — just a good pair of sneakers. Live Long, Live Well
few days ago on Instagram that said, “We win when we want others to win.” I don’t know about you, but this just stopped me right in my tracks. I feel like this is an example of what we as humans are created for. In this article we will tackle a few steps to guide you through this process. In a world that is spinning so fast, our only focus is on ourselves rather than on other people. We tend to focus on what is
important to us, our wants, needs and other means that we might have. It’s totally OK to feel like this — it’s our humanist coming out. To be honest, I am like this sometimes, too. But it’s when we decide to choose to live differently, to focus our mindset on helping others to reach their full potential, that brings us closer to the incredible joy in our own lives. You may be wondering what that might look like in your daily life. It may look like being a mother or father figure in that child’s life who only
has one parent at home. Or it might look like building each other up when the world is telling us that we aren’t enough. Whatever the calling is, pursue it with your whole heart. This is evident in my own life. I try to make a point to call out and evoke the wonders in someone’s life. I love seeing the transitional shift where they decide to leave the darkness behind and walk into the calling that has been set forth in their life. It’s seeing the win in that person’s life. Doing that leads us into
seeing the win in our life, as well as speaking the win in another person’s life. Once you determine what your win is, that is what you will focus on. It can be in a relationship. For instance, Andy Stanley described his and his wife’s win for their relationship was to be always where the other person is. What I think he meant was that you like what the other person does. It can be one year down the road, five years down the road or even 35 years down the road. The Stanley’s win was that they want to still
be around each other from the starting point to the finish line. This also shows us when we are seeing the win in others’ lives. What this looks like in my own life was when there were voices that were telling me not to go into ministry because of different things, I had others speaking out the win in my own life. That propelled me forward to prepare myself to see that win in my own life. So here is the next step for you — proclaim the win in your life and others. Celebrate the small victories!
We win when we see others win Britny Belskis

Where is Turner Public Library’s mascot?
TURNER — French Fry, Turner Public Library’s river otter mascot, is on an “adventour” of Maine and sending back pictures to document his travels. Can you help identify where French Fry is today? You’ll find a large map of Maine at Turner Public Library, 98 Matthews Way, where you can place your guesses on French Fry’s travels. French Fry will be sharing more vacation photos throughout the summer! 1. On the first stop, French Fry made a visit to another local library with a puppet theater and a beautiful quilt! Where is French Fry?
2. Where is Turner Public Library’s mascot? French Fry has headed south of Turner and is exploring the coast; we think there could be some new favorite shells in French Fry’s future! Where is French Fry?
3. Where is Turner Public Library’s mascot? French Fry loves the water! Today our “otterly” adorable mascot is taking in the sites in a popular harbor town. French Fry also took some time to meet a new friend at another public library! Where is French Fry?
4. Where is Turner Public Library’s mascot? French Fry is back inland and looking for one of Maine’s largest mammals at this pond. We’re not sure there are any large mammals there, but given the name of this lake, there just may be! Where is French Fry?
5. Where is Turner Public Library’s mascot? French Fry was ready to cover those furry ears because the noise at this famous cove is super loud! A little way down the parkway, French Fry found a quieter spot and checked out all the best rocks. Where is French Fry?
6. Where is Turner Public Library’s mascot? Much closer to home, French Fry is thinking it’s almost time for school to start up again! French Fry and Ted, a friend and classmate, are visiting with their new teacher, “Mrs. Mannequin.” Where do French Fry and Ted go to school?

OTIS Federal Credit Union Hosts Financial Fitness Fair at Spruce Mountain High School JAY, Maine — On Thursday, April 25th, eight employees of OTIS Federal Credit Union visited Spruce Mountain High School and hosted a Financial Fitness Fair in conjunction with the Jobs for Maine Graduates program. This year marks the second year that OTIS has partnered with JMG in holding the event. Roughly 150 SMHS Juniors and Seniors participated in the
“Real Life Game of Life.” Each student was assigned an annual income, and was tasked with budgeting for life’s essentials without exceeding their assigned income after taxes. All of life’s basic necessities were represented by booths manned by OTIS staff members, including categories such as groceries, student loans, housing, and transportation. After the students had
made stops at each booth, some were assigned a random, disruptive life event, such as a car accident. Students were then prompted to reconceive their budgets in light of these new developments by re-visiting each station. Each student who completed the Financial Fitness Fair was entered into drawings at the Fair’s conclusion for prizes, which included

Overnight stays Last month we explored planning for a trip in the most beautiful place on earth. Now that we made plans to see God’s country, Maine, what does one do to see the rest of North America? Well the process is similar in planning but we have the added issues of where to stay when traveling from here to there. The bottom line is we don’t want to spend “an arm and a leg” to get there. I will start with a very touchy and politically explosive consideration: taxes. Maine has an awful reputation for its taxation of its citizens. When it comes to traveling, Maine is not the worse. Not even close. When RV’ing, fuel is a large piece of the vacation budget. For example, Pennsylvania’s fuel tax is 20 cents higher than any of the Northeast states. Adds up fast if you get 9 m.p.g. with your camper. Many states have a separate “restaurant and lodging” tax which, by the way,
might be added on to a sales tax. Sometimes these taxes are hidden as a “service” fee. It is bad enough that half of the states have these “other” taxes but it gets worse. Many states have local taxes as well. It is rare that vacationers research this touchy subject. Just be aware that this can add substantially to the bottom line. One way to save though is not having to get a motel room on those long distance travels. There are lots of options on the highways and the two biggest concerns are cost and safety. In RV lore, Walmarts are legendary for a cheap overnight. Research them. Not all will allow it and some aren’t safe. Having said this, I have stayed at some from North Bay, Canada to Texarkana, Texas. I have also stayed at Cracker Barrel in Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. Other businesses that purportedly allow overnight rest are Bass Pro Shops, Cabala’s, and
many big box stores. Some, like Cabalas, might even have a dump station. Even your destination can be inexpensive. Yes, you can stay at premium places like Fort Wilderness in Disney World where it will cost a pretty penny. There are other campgrounds like KOA that offer a lot of amenities. This might include a pool, games, golf, activities, and other extras. If you like these things, it is definitely worth the extra dollars. However, if you want to just get away, maybe to enjoy some winter warmth or wildlife, check out state and national campgrounds. They are usually cheaper. And west of the Mississippi River, government land (often referred to as BLM land) can even offer free camping! So, what is the cost at these government sites and what can I expect for services? First, they come under many different head-

for $6 a night. Some have complete hookups, which means water, electricity and sewer. Others may offer only boondocking (no services). When reserving a sight, make sure it will accommodate your rig and it has the services you want. How do you find these getaways and overnight stays? If you are comfortable with a computer, this will be easy. If you have smart-phone capabilities, even better! First, for overnight stays (remember Walmart), I use Allstays App. It is available for both android and iPhone. There is a onetime fee for the app but I find it invaluable. Caution: Don’t get the Walmart one; get the
one for all overnight. It cost a little more but will show Walmarts plus all the other places including regular campgrounds complete with reviews. Other resources are books. If you like the old fashion printed material, there are a lot of choices. Also, for State campgrounds, go to the state you are interested in and search “campgrounds”. For Federal ones, start with nps.gov. Another site I use, especially for BLM land out West, is freecampsite.net. Once you start searching, you will find other sources that meet your style.

June 7, 2019 MOVIE REVIEW
Lucas Allen (Lionsgate Films) If “Pretty Woman” was gender-reversed and commented on politics today, then you’d have the outrageous romantic comedy “Long Shot.” This bold new take on the genre takes aim at both love and the state of America ideology, and should entertain everyone no matter what their political affiliation. It’s produced by the same people behind the hit comedies “Neighbors” and “Sausage Party,” and in their version of comedy, there’s no such thing as the word subtlety. Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a renegade journalist working for a small New York-based newspaper until he quits when the paper
Courier
‘Long Shot’ is bought out by billionaire industrialist Parker Wembley (Andy Serkis). To cheer him up, Fred’s buddy Lance (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) takes him to a fancy party, where the Fred is reunited with his babysitter from years back, Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron). She’s secretary of state, and about to take the place of President Chambers (Bob Odenkirk) in 2020. Though their reunion ends hilariously bad, it inspires her to hire him as her speechwriter. Despite the objections of Field’s staffer, Maggie Millikin (June Diane Raphael), Fred travels with Charlotte on the campaign trail to help her with her speeches during her campaign. Along the way, they manage to rekindle their friendship, then fall in love. However, Maggie convinces her boss that dating Fred is not good for her image, and she’d be better off dating the Canadian prime minister (Alexander Skarsgard) instead. Their relationship and her campaign are threatened when the president’s environmental bill she’s promoting has
shady secrets within. Much like their previous comedies, there are some moments of shocking gross-out humor that deliver the biggest laughs. But for the most part, it’s a sweeter-natured romantic comedy where the more outrageous moments are downplayed. In some way, it creates a well-balanced experience that’s certainly more pleasing for a wider grown-up audience. It’s a movie where you and your date will have a great time with while enjoying the humorous moments together. Though the movie is basically satirizing the state of American politics and pop culture, it bogs it down at times and slows down the momentum it was going for. It’s funny enough when it spoofs both the presidency and mainstream news media, but some of it could’ve been cut out of this already long two-hour runtime. Thankfully, the nicer moments between the two leads gives us breathing room to get engaged in the story. Despite some usual clichés that occur in other films of this tired
genre, this story manages to keep things fresh and different without bordering on simply the same old stuff. The chemistry between the two leads is great, especially for this unusual pairing. Rogen is basically playing the same character from his many comedies, but does get to add some tenderness to his character. Theron counters that in a terrific performance with moments of humor and humility that works for her. In a sea of lackluster romantic comedies, “Long Shot” stands out and certainly worth a watch. If you can get past its politically charged humor, the rest of it should be entertaining enough for those looking for romance and hilarity in their date films. As the summer movie season begins, expect more star-studded titles like this to come your way. THE MOVIE’S RATING: R (for strong sexual content, language throughout, and some drug use) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.25 Stars (Out of Four)

Hello from Holly
June is National Safety Month Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death in our homes and communities. This year’s safety campaign is focused on Hazard Recognition, Slips, Trips and Falls, Fatigue and Impairment; all very important topics. For this month’s column I’d like to focus on slips, trips and falls. Each year, millions of people 65 and older fall. In fact, more than 1 out of 4 older people falls each year. Falling once doubles your chances that you will fall again. What Can Happen After a Fall? Many falls do not cause injuries. But 1 out of 5 falls does cause a serious injury such as a broken bone or a head injury. These injuries can make it hard for a person to get around, do everyday activities, or live on their own. An older person who falls and hits their head should see their doctor right away to make sure they don’t have a brain injury. Many people who fall, even if they’re not injured, become afraid of falling. This fear may cause a person to cut down on their everyday activities resulting in isolation.

Washburn-Norlands names four new board members LIVERMORE — Washburn-Norlands Foundation has welcomed four new members to its Board of Trustees, bringing the number of trustees to 12. They were unanimously voted in at the March 25 meeting for three-year terms. The Washburn-Norlands Foundation Inc. oversees Norlands, the ancestral home of the Washburn family and a living history museum. Norlands is on the National Register of Historic Places.
“We welcome them and greatly appreciate their willingness to serve” said Harry Simon, president of the board. “Each brings a unique set of skills and experience and will be a tremendous asset to Norlands as we move the organization into the future. We look forward to working with them.” Chandler Bluie, of Buckfield, an operations forester with American Forest Management, where he manages large tracts of forest for owners. Bluie said he is ex-
cited about the possibility of extending the trail system at Norlands and expanding the outdoor recreational uses of the property. Colleen Fournier, of Leeds, assistant vice president, commercial loan officer for Androscoggin Bank, where she has worked since
2015. She was voted as Androscoggin Bank’s Officer of the Year for 2018. She said she became enamored with living history as a child growing up in Massachusetts through her visits to Plimoth Plantation, Old Ironsides and Old Sturbridge Village. She first volunteered for Norlands’ Civil War Living History Weekend in 2017. She said joining the Board combines her passion for business and civic engagement while helping to keep the history of Norlands alive.
Thad Gabryszewsk, of Biddeford, vice president of Lincoln Haney Engineering in Brunswick. He has served on several volunteer committees and looks forward to bringing his skills in fund raising, event planning, and organizational development to Norlands. J. Tayloe Washburn, of Seattle, Wash., a retired land-use attorney and litigator. For 29 years, he worked for the Northwest regional law firm Foster Pepper LLC where he managed large public and private projects,
such as runways, mass transit, and complex real estate developments. Wasburn has a family connection to the Norlands — he is the great-grandson of William Drew Washburn, who was born at Norlands in 1831. William Drew served in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. He settled in Minneapolis where he got involved in lumbering and flour milling. He founded Pillsbury-Washburn Milling Company,

Local resident sticking around to help others have a better retirement TURNER — Jim Flagg grew up in Fayette, went to school in Livermore and worked in and with the local paper mills for 15 years. During that time, he witnessed many long-standing employees — who spent their entire lives working blue-collar jobs — retiring with less than they could have. These individuals had to make tough decisions to prolong retirement and make life sacrifices in order to move into the next phase of life after work. Their struggles inspired Flagg to begin a career as a financial adviser with Edward Jones. It was also important for him to stay local so he can help others plan for a better
retirement for themselves. Flagg, whose children attend school in Turner, said he had been working out of a local Edward Jones branch office in Auburn until this past May, when he opened his own Edward Jones branch office in Turner to help better serve his community. Flagg specializes in retirement planning and college savings; however, he can also assist his clients with money market accounts, CDs, bonds, mutual funds, individual stocks, annuities, life insurance and help with estate considerations. He finds the best part of working for Edward Jones is understand-
ing what’s important to his clients. They then work through an established process to build personalized strategies and the specific actions needed to achieve their goals. Flagg partners with his clients and their families throughout their lives, revisiting their goals and risk tolerance, as well as the strategies they’ve developed, to help keep them on track toward their goals. Flagg’s investment consultations are always a complementary service. Flagg practices a 5-step process: 1. Where am I today? 2. Where would I like to be?
3. Can I get there? 4. How do I get there? 5. How can I stay on track? Flagg believes all the steps are equally important, but wants his clients to know he will be there throughout the process and after, as step 5 suggest. He is there with you to check in and make sure the plan is going as designed and help make adjustments along the way. Flagg enjoys being out in the community, shaking hands with his neighbors, getting to know people and helping where he can. He currently volunteers his time coaching youth sports
