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 great-grandson 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.

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 min-
utes 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 docu-
ment 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 people 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, 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
The Healthy Geezer By Fred Cicetti
Q. Since my eyes started to go, I’ve been hallucinating and I’m afraid to tell anyone about it. Any ideas? A. Hallucinations can be a symptom of a variety of problems—both physical and mental. They can be caused by schizophrenia, dementia, depression, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, fever, drugs, and alcohol. You should see a doctor immedi-
ately about this symptom. You wrote that your hallucinations started with impaired vision. Visual loss (worse than 20/60 in both eyes) is a common cause of hallucinations, too. However, research suggests that they are more likely to appear if you have visual acuity between 20/120 and 20/400. About one in ten people with vision problems has hallucinations. It is suspected that this phenomenon is under-reported because victims fear they are losing their minds and don’t want their doctors to know. Complex hallucinations among people with vision
loss is called Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Charles Bonnet was a Swiss philosopher. In 1760, he described this condition in his 89-yearold grandfather who was blinded by cataracts. These hallucinations can strike at any age, but usually affect seniors. The most likely reason that the syndrome affects the elderly is the prevalence of visual problems in this age group. The common conditions leading to CBS are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataract. It’s common for visionrelated hallucinations to be doozies—odd people, animals, panoramas, bizarre
images right out of the most phantasmagorical dreams. These images—sometimes called visual hallucinations—can range from elaborate images to less-complex line patterns. The pictures appear suddenly and can last for hours. The visual hallucinations often stop within a year to eighteen months. However, it is difficult to predict the frequency of the hallucinations and how long they will persist. Today, CBS is not widely known even among physicians. One reason for this phenomenon is that many of those who hallucinate keep it to themselves.
An 18 Hole Gem in Beautiful Central Maine!
There is no cure for CBS. The best way to handle the syndrome is to reassure victims that the weird images are a symptom of eye disease, not mental illness. The syndrome is sometimes called “phantom vision” and it is compared to
phantom limbs. Amputees can have sensations from limbs they no longer have. Similarly, when retinal cells become impaired and are no longer able to receive and relay visual

We win when we see others win
Britny Belskis
Britny Belskis has earned an associate degree in early childhood education and is continuing her ministerial studies at Southeastern University in Florida.
Hey friends, I read a quote from one of my favorite authors a 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 to-
tally 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!
2019 Maine Blues Festival set for Father’s Day weekend
38th season
Rain Location: Gendron Franco Center, Lewiston
June 19th - August 21st Enjoy A Different Program of Music Every Week! For more information visit us online at www.auburncommunityband.com
The annual Maine Blues Festival returns to celebrate Maine-based blues artists, featuring over forty blues acts performing in downtown Naples, Maine. Now in its 14th year, the festival will stage performances in over eight venues in a walking “pub crawl” format. Music begins in the early Friday evening, June 14, goes all day Saturday into the evening, and continues Sunday afternoon. The Festival has added the inclusion of first Maine Cigar Box Guitar Festival, a “festival within a festival,” and the first of its kind in New England. This is in response to the increasing popularity among artists (especially blues artists) of “cigar box guitars,” handcrafted instruments usually
consisting of four strings or fewer and literally made from wooden cigar boxes. The Cigar Box Guitar Festival will take place on the Naples Village Green on Saturday, June 15 starting at noon, which will also feature the Festival’s Craft Fair. Village Green events are free and open to the public. The Festival will feature an Art Walk along the Naples Causeway on Saturday, and will also offer free shuttle bus service throughout the day. Saturday events are ticketed. Advance tickets are $16, $20 at the gate, kids 12 and under are free. Tickets are available at www.mainebluesfestival. com, Bull Moose Music stores, and local area merchants.

New Ventures Maine encourages young women to consider the trades For over 40 years, New Ventures Maine has been working with residents to guide them in finding career paths in an everchanging economic landscape, by offering tuitionfree programs for career, business, and financial education. From the very beginning their mission has been clear-- help Maine families succeed. Part of their demographic includes those who have yet to enter the workforce. New Ventures has developed a program geared towards encouraging 8th grade and high school girls to experience first hand what it’s like to work in non-traditional fields. Three years ago, Totally Trades! Conference for Girls started its first workshop, featuring careers in heavy equipment operation, welding, and engineering to name a few. Today, their workshops have grown more expansive, reaching almost 800 young women this year, and providing new pro-
Submitted photo LRTC plumbing instructor Paul Kennedy instructs a group of students on how to solder copper pipes. grams including coding robots and drones. The latest Totally Trades! Conference took place on May 17 at Central Maine Community College in Auburn in collaboration with Lewiston Regional Technical
School. Over one hundred 9th grade girls from the Androscoggin region attended and participated in trades that are predominantly filled by men. “The conferences are two-fold,” said Chris Davis, Workforce Develop-
ment Specialist for New Ventures Maine. “I want to spark capacity and an understanding that females can do this work. They can handle tools, they have the brains, the brawn and they have whatever they need to fill these normally male
dominated roles. Two, we need this for the trades. As a community and as a state, we need more workers in the trades and females are untapped.” According to a 2012 estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau, Maine has a median age of 43.5, the highest in the country. As the baby boomer generation leaves the work force and retires, the trade industry will need a lot more employees to keep Maine’s infrastructure and economy going. “It’s lucrative, you get paid good money with good benefits. To have girls start to look into it and see how they can actually make it a reality is huge. If we can feel more capable as women then we can become more interdependent versus dependent,” said Davis, “These are the kinds of experiences that allow us to say, ‘Hey I can do this’.” In the heavy equipment operation workshop, girls were able to try out several
pieces of heavy machinery, including a bulldozer, crane and dump-truck. These experiences are unlike anything students could find in a traditional, classroom setting. An employee of St. Laurent & Son spoke to the girls before they tested out the equipment. “I’m gonna be honest with you, most of the girls, they were the best workers I had. They were smart. I know a girl and she was the best driver I had. If you guys are interested in this, we need more girls out there.” Crane operators can make up to 60 dollars an hour. “100 percent of feedback evaluations from girls who attended last year said they would recommend it to a friend and that’s huge,” said Davis, “They love it, they were pumped. They let us know what they want and we just want to be empowering.” For more information on totally trades, visit their website, newventuresmaine.org
Who will inherit your money? When you pass, who will inherit your assets? Will your assets be distributed via the probate process? (And will information about your estate therefore become public record?) What if someone should challenge your Last Will and Testament? Will the probate of your assets be an extended and costly process for your estate? Truth be told, most of the pitfalls of estate distribution can be avoided. Your estate can be distributed to whomever you want, as efficiently as you want, and
as privately as you want. What is the secret to making this happen? It’s what I call Proper Prior Planning. When you choose your beneficiaries, think multigenerational: If the primary beneficiary you have listed should pass before you, whom do you want to be next in line? The answer to this question is your contingent beneficiary/beneficiaries. Have you listed one or more contingent beneficiaries as well? Some of the questions involving beneficiaries can be difficult to think
about, but answering them yourself and making your choices clear are gifts you can give your survivors. What if you have listed two or more of your children as equal beneficiaries and one of them should pass before you? Do you want the surviving child (or children) to receive the deceased child’s share, or do you want the children of that deceased child to receive that percentage? Potential situations like this and many others must be spelled out in your Will or beneficiary designations
on insurance contracts and financial accounts. One of the common errors we see people make is leaving retirement accounts to children without educating them with regard to the tax ramifications. This is when accounts such as IRAs degrade into what I call “IOUs to the IRS.” The good news is, this too is avoidable. To be prepared, ask yourself all the pertinent questions about estate distribution and develop a thorough plan. The pros at JMA will be happy to help
you. And after you choose your beneficiaries, be sure to educate them about what they stand to inherit, people they will need to contact, and your personal preferences about how they will handle your assets. Here is what I promise: If you do Proper Prior Planning, you will decrease the chances of Potentially Poor Performance!

FEATURE COLUMN
Bring young, enthusiastic hunters along carefully
V. Paul Reynolds It was mid-November in the Big Deer Woods. A northeast wind rocked the hemlock tops and pushed a cold, pelting rain that seemed to penetrate the slicker beneath my wool hunting shirt. The damp, raw day was in my pores. Noon or not, it was time to call it a day. Heading back to camp, I could — in my mind’s eye— smell the hot coffee and feel the radiating heat from the old wood stove. Then, two fellow hunters from camp broke out of the fir thicket and waved me down. In their early 20s, these already serious apprentice hunters — one of whom was my nephew and the other a son of a close friend — were excited about something. Over the wind and driving rain, they exclaimed ”You gotta help us, Uncle! There are two bucks bedded in the whippets in that cutting up above!.We saw them twice. We think that they’re still in
there.” A dilemma for me. Camp beckoned. I was close to hypothermic, but the young men, operating under the illusion I was a seasoned deer hunter who would drum up a strategy to outwit these bucks, were looking for leadership. Protest as I might, they insisted I help and show them how to pursue the deer. “Tell you what,” I said to the eager twosome. “We’ll give it an hour, then yours truly is on his way back to camp to dry out, ok?” I offered. With the two boys posted at likely exit corridors through the tangle of whippets in the two-year old cutting, I began zig-zagging my way through the tangle in hopes of moving a deer. The steady downpour made the deer push all that more difficult; as I counseled myself to be patient and set a good example for these aspiring young deer hunters. Within seconds, I moved a big deer and it high-tailed it in the direction of one of the posted hunters. The muffled shot I expected never came. As it turned out, the posted hunter had decided to find a different spot to post himself, contrary to my instructions to “stay put.” Big, splayed buck tracks in
the mud told the story; the buck kept its appointment at the designated place of my choosing; the novice hunter did not. I was furious and read him out for “going rogue” and not sticking to the game plan. “You blew it, son,” I hissed. “I moved that buck to right where you were supposed to be! What’s the matter with your head? Why in hell did you move? You guys are on your own. I am soaked and freezing and going back to camp.” Duly chastised, the young hunter apologized. After things cooled down, the second young hunter showed up.”That other buck is still in there, Unc. I swear I can smell him in those thickets,” he said. This story has a happy ending, sort of, and a lesson for experienced deer hunters who mentor young, aspiring hunters. The rain let up some. I was in the game
and just couldn’t give up, not with a buck possibly that close. With the boys posted again, I went back in the whippet tangle for another push. It was a slog, but before the afternoon was over a thick-necked, 12-point buck evading my scent sealed its fate while running in front of my nephew’s .32 Special. His first deer was a trophy buck. You can imagine his excitement and the joy I felt for him. Looking back upon that proud and wonderful day in the deer woods so long ago, the memory of the joy remains tainted some, though, for me personally. Losing my cool and chewing out that eager young hunter was not the right thing to do. Those of us who bring young people along in the deer woods, or on the trout waters, need to do so with care and compassion, regardless

of the mistakes they make. Relationships with people are always more important than the game pole, even in the deer woods. By the way, the young man, who left his post that miserable cold rainy day, is now skillfully coaching his sons in the deer woods. He also has proven himself the deer hunter’s deer hunter, with more trophy deer to his credit than most other hunters I have known, including me. We still hunt together.
All indications are he has forgiven me, although I am not so sure his mother has.

Where history happens there should be a marker John McDonald
Have you ever been driving along a lonely Maine road, in the middle of nowhere, when you come upon an impressive looking historical marker that reads something like: “It was on this spot in 1743 that Eli Crimmons — frontiersman and doofus — made camp one night near what would eventually become the town of Crimmonsburgh, a small backwater settlement we’re sure you’ve never heard of until now and we’re equally sure you’ll never hear of again.” You drive away from the historic spot feeling you’ve somehow “connected” with the area, like burrs “connect” with your wool socks. You also feel you’ve learned a little more about this great country of ours. Finally you realize you’ve just wasted 20 precious minutes of the brief time you’re allotted on this planet. I was thinking about such things the other day and concluded we here in Maine don’t have enough historic makers and time wasters cluttering up our roadsides and should do more — a lot more — to mark the memo-
rable places throughout our state, where something actually happened. Let natives and visitors alike know what — of a historic nature — went on where and when. Like what? You ask. OK, that’s a good question. Where is the marker in Waterville to inform mirror buffs it was in that river community that Mildred Dunham invented the Vu-Back mirror in 1936? “What the #&%@ is a VuBack mirror?” I hear some of the more cynical among you ask. The Vu-Back mirror happens to be a mirror specially made to hang around your neck, giving you free use of your hands. OK, so the Vu Back mirror may not rival the discovery of penicillin or splitting the atom, but it’s something, and it happened right here in Maine. Come to think of it, the Vu-Back mirror probably isn’t as important as the invention of the “stickum” note, but like I said, it’s SOMETHING and it deserves a plaque of recognition. And another thing! Where are the historic markers in Brunswick telling visitors about when President Franklin Pierce — 14th president of these United States (1853-57) — lived there while a student at Bowdoin College and probably frequented many of
the same crazy college-kid haunts crazy college kids hang around today? “But, John,” you say, “Franklin Pierce is considered one of our worst presidents, and on the rare occasions when he is talked about by scholars the words ‘weak’ and ‘vacillating’ are mentioned often in the discussions. Why would we want to tell tourists about him and his association with our state?” Another good point. It’s true Pierce had a less than stellar presidency, so what else is new? True, he managed to make the division in his party — the Democrats — even worse than it was before they nominated him. He was even denied the nomination of his party at the convention of 1856 but, hey, he was president, he did live in Brunswick, he is part of the Maine experience. Even scholars can’t deny to Pierce the crowning achievement of his presidency — the Gadsden Purchase. Maybe other examples would demonstrate my point better. Where’s the historic marker in Norway to show the exact spot where golf tees were first produced? Speaking of wooden things, are you aware of any official recognition given to Charles Forster of Bangor?
“Was he wooden?” you ask, sarcastically. Charles Forster of Bangor was only the inventor of the toothpick and after he invented the ingenious little things he began making them in his shop soon after the Civil War. You’d think orthodontists would want to recognize Forster as a small way of thanking him for all the crooked front teeth his simple wooden invention helped create. It would also be nice to have a marker in Winthrop that tells people all about that town’s famous native — Ezekiel J. Bailey. “OK, John, I’ll bite again. Who was he?” Ezekiel J. Bailey built the nation’s first oilcloth factory in his hometown of Winthrop in 1845. Many more oilcloth factories would soon follow, but Bailey was the first. Despite the fact some might think I’m all wet here, I think Ezekiel deserves some long-overdue recognition. Come on, you folks in Winthrop! Where’s Zeke’s roadside marker?

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. When a person is less active, they become weaker and this increases their chances of falling. What Conditions Make You More Likely to Fall? 5HVHDUFK KDV LGHQWL¿HG PDQ\ conditions that contribute to falling. These are called risk factors. Many risk factors FDQ EH FKDQJHG RU PRGL¿HG WR KHOS SUHYHQW falls. They include: lower body weakness, IRRW SDLQ YLVLRQ SUREOHPV GLI¿FXOWLHV ZLWK walking or balance, and some medications. There are also environmental hazards to be aware of such as broken or even steps, throw rugs, extension cords across walking areas, and clutter.

MOVIE REVIEW
‘Aladdin’ known nowadays for his Sherlock Holmes films. In the town of Agrabah, a young thief named Aladdin (Mena Massoud) survives each day with the help of his pet monkey, Abu. He meets a beautiful princess named Jasmine (Naomi Scott), who’s snuck out of her kingdom to mingle with the townsfolk. She dreams of a better life beyond her kingdom, and her sultan father (Navid Negahban) has insisted she marry Prince Anders (Billy Magnussen) of Skanland. Just then, Aladdin gets caught and ends up in the clutches of the evil Jafar (Marwan Kenzari) for a sinister plan. At the Cave of Wonders, Aladdin finds a magical lamp that unleashes the blue Genie (Will Smith) with a three-wish contract. For his first wish, Aladdin A Product of

1992’s “Aladdin” remains one of Disney’s most beloved animated films and one of the titles that helped save its animation studio. It’s also best remembered for the late great Robin Williams’ beloved performance as the Genie. With the recent clout of adapting their animated classics into live-action blockbusters, Disney naturally brings back the colorful adventure for a new generation of fans. The new version is brought to life by visionary filmmaker Guy Ritchie, who’s best

wishes to become a prince to impress Jasmine because of his love for her. As Prince Ali of Abudah, he manages to connect with the princess especially through a magic carpet ride. But Jafar and his parrot Iago (Alan Tudyk) becomes aware of the act and threatens to steal the lamp and the Genie for his own means. It’s easy to criticize a Disney movie like this for basically retelling a classic animated movie in live-action form especially for something as beloved as Aladdin. But for all that trouble, the movie still manages to succeed in extending this story while offering new takes on classic moments we all remember. It shares some of the original’s magic just enough that both longtime fans and newcomers can find something to enjoy. At its two-hour length, this movie doesn’t outstay
its welcome and it’s very worth watching. In the tradition of these Disney movies, the visual appeal is astounding, with a variety of colors splashing on the screen. The production value and cinematography are wellmade to the point that it looked like every cent of the budget shows the commitment the filmmakers put a lot into. Some of the CGI can be wonky, but it’s not too distracting enough that you’ll be busy being entertained by the spectacle. The original songs are also well performed by the actors especially “Friend Like Me,” “Prince Ali,” and “A Whole New World” feel just as magical as when they were first written. Smith brings his own voice and comedic timing to the Genie role successfully without simply replaying what Williams
did before. He’s also naturally entertaining by reminding us why we loved the Fresh Prince to begin with. Massoud makes a very believable version of the title character, while Scott makes a lasting impression as a strong female lead. Kenzari is a fine Jafar, but doesn’t have enough of the character’s evil personality in the original to make him very threatening. Like the other liveaction Disney remakes, “Aladdin” handles its tricky journey to the screen and comes out as entertaining and magical in its own way. But it won’t be the last of these this year, so we’ll see how the upcoming “The Lion King” will stack up. THE MOVIE’S RATING: PG (for some action/ peril) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.5 Stars (Out of Four)

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.
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.
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.
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 refrigera-
tor, 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.

Lisbon Girl Scouts
LISBON — In preparation for Memorial Day, Lisbon Girl Scout Troop 560, with funding support from the Lisbon Parks and Recreation Department, designed, selected and planted a beautiful flower display at the MTM park Memorial Monument. The troop has performed this service for many years in honor of those who died serving our country.

Cub Scout Pack 109 holds ‘bittersweet’ year-end ceremony LISBON FALLS — Cub Scout Pack 109 of Lisbon conducted its Blue and Gold Banquet on March 2 at the Lisbon Falls Baptist Church. The Blue and Gold Banquet is the pack’s end-ofyear behemoth that sees Scouts receiving their ranks. Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos all take one step up the ladder at this annual event. Given its importance, the banquet hall is decorated by leaders to depict an annual theme, like this year’s “magic.” Shields, brick walls, magic wands, and
wizard hats were on every table and at every entrance. Each den leader constructed a power point show to let others see what the dens did during the year and give the scouts a look at what they could be doing next year at the same time. Likewise, it is the last of such events for the pack’s oldest Cubs, transitioning out of Cub Scouts and into Scout Troop 109. This makes the event a bittersweet get-together, knowing that the older Scouts, who had already spent five years in the pack, would be
moving onward. That said, those Scouts are not disappearing. They are merely moving into a troop that consists of even older Scouts and more challenging tasks. In fact, part of finishing their last year of Cub Scouting as members of the Arrow of Light den involves their selecting a name and creating a new patrol in which they will become upon their entry to the troop: Ice Wolves. The Ice Wolves, former Cub Scouts, have began their journey after their official cross over on April 11.
