Delivering toys to the Giving Tree of Rangeley and the Fire Department, from left, Carl Symes, Patty Richards, Jeff Beaudoin, Carmen Glidden and Santa Claus.
By Marie B. Sutherland
RANGELEY — The Oquossoc ATV Club held their first Christmas toy drive, which this year benefited the Giving Tree of Rangeley. The Giving Tree has decided to share the toys with the Rangeley Fire Department, for their toy drive. Since their October meeting/picnic, until Thanksgiving, toys were collected at three locations, Boss Power Equipment, River Edge Sports in Oquossoc and Central Maine Powersports in Lewiston. Besides
donating the two ATVs full of toys, a generous cash donation was presented to Carmen Glidden, president of the Giving Tree of Rangeley. The donation will be used to buy warm clothing for area children. The Oquossoc ATV Club builds and maintains recreational ATV trails in Franklin County, bringing outdoor enthusiasts to the area. The Giving Tree of Rangeley has been helping local families and seniors for 33 years. They distribute warm clothing to area children, along with toys and books, in addition to IGA gift cards to seniors at Christmas.

‘Walk to Bethlehem,’ Covid-19 safe, will be Dec. 13 in Rangeley
Submitted photo
Participants in the 2019 Walk to Bethlehem holiday event in Rangeley. This year's event will be held outside. RANGELEY — For 40 years, the Rangeley Friends of the Arts has sponsored the annual “Walk to Bethlehem.” The event recreates Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, with community members costumed as nativity figures, and begins at the Lakeside Theater, 2493 Main St., with the reading of Caesar Augustus’ decree that all people must return to the city of their birth. The event will be held this year at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13, with some changes to accommodate COVID-19 safety precautions. Instead of distributing printed carol books, all of
the song lyrics will be available online at rangeleyarts.org/caroling-lyrics. Participants can print it out in advance or use their phone/device during the walk. Walkers will be asked to wait in their vehicles until the walk begins. Participants will all wear masks and walk with their pod, maintaining social distance from others. Pageant participants and walkers will walk through the streets of Rangeley, singing (if they choose), stopping at St. Luke’s Catholic Church and the Rangeley Free Baptist Church to ask if there is any room at the inn. The procession will also stop at the Giving
NEW! EXTREME PULP ORANGE JUICE
Tree. The walk ends at Church of the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church. When the procession arrives at the Church of the Good Shepherd, everyone will remain outside. The costumed nativity participants will arrange themselves around the crèche in front of the church building and the Christmas Story will be read outside. The event will conclude with Victor Borko playing “Silent Night” on the guitar. Those comfortable singing may do so. Another way to enjoy the annual event is to park near the church and watch and listen from the safety of vehicles.

MOVIE REVIEW
‘The Last Vermeer’ Lucas Allen (Sony Pictures Classics/ Tri-Star Pictures) This year, the pandemic has put a heavy effect on the moviegoing experience, as well as the release of new movies. It especially affected this Oscar season, since the choices for whichever film takes home the awards are
very limited. One movie that seems to be trying to take a crack at going for the gold is the historical drama “The Last Vermeer.” It’s inspired by true events as well as the nonfiction book “The Man Who Made Vermeers.” by Jonathan Lopez. After World War II ended, Allied officials in Europe have started the process of eliminating any trace of Nazi occupation. In Amsterdam, Capt. Joseph Piller (Claes Bang), who was part of the Dutch resistance, is called in to look at a Vermeer painting, “Christ and the Adulteress,” that was sold to the Nazis. His investigation leadshim to an eccentric artist, Han Van Meegeren (Guy Pearce), who
Sudoku Puzzle Answer Puzzle on page 6
has a good reason for doing so, but cannot say. However, the Ministry of Justice sees him as a Nazi sympathizer and is ready to arrest him. So Piller and his secretary, (Vicky Krieps), risk themselves to hide the artist in the attic of their offices. Once there, Meegeren puts the Captain on a journey to slowly unravel this mystery to prove his innocence. Soon enough, Piller finds himself on a trail to the truth with clues and twists at every turn. But as soon as the Captain learns the real truth, the Dutch authorities finally catch up to Meegeren and arrest him. This leads to an explosive trial that will decide the artist’s fate.
While it’s certainly a historical drama, the movie devotes much of its running time to being an art lover’s film. Especially when it’s all about the works of Vermeer, they do play into the film’s story while fans of fine art can appreciate their artistic value. The mystery itself gets more interesting the more the main character digs deep into this artist’s life. You see flashbacks of the artist’s lifestyle, but it also leaves you wondering if there’s any truth to it, which makes the character even more fascinating. Though based on a true story, the movie takes some liberty and makes changes to such real-life events for
dramatic purposes. But not many people may know the story, so viewers will be left feeling indifferent about how the film tells the story well. With that said, it’s still a nicely made movie with sets and costumes staying true to the authenticity of the time during the mid-1940s. The cinematography also does the job well showing the gritty and glum nature of Europe after the destructive war. The acting is quite good for this kind of film, given a cast of internationally talented actors on display. Pearce gives a career-based performance in a role seemingly written for Johnny Depp if they had a bigger budget. Regardless, the
actor brings his own mannerisms and charisma that works well for his character. Bang is serviceable enough to carry this film as does the rest of the cast trying his best to add drama and pathos to his character. While far from great, “The Last Vermeer,” is a solid period drama that’s more appreciated for understanding the importance of art. Fans of World War II movies will likely be disappointed by the lack of battle scenes, but those looking for simple drama will find something to enjoy. THE MOVIE’S RATING: R (for some language, violence, and nudity) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.25 Stars (Out of Four)

THE AMATEUR WORD NERD
Emojis — way beyond just a happy face By Barbara McAlister Word of the Day: Emoji You probably know emojis are those digital images used to express an idea or emotion. It comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “letter.” It’s gone way beyond the initial smiley faces in the 1990s to well over 3,000 pictograms that express everything from weather to political views.
New ones are added every year and it’s the job of The Unicode Consortium (Unicode Inc.), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Mountain View, Calif., to decide which emojis make the cut. If you have an idea for a new emoji, EmojiRequest.com is a worldwide platform you can use to request one. In 2018, the lobster finally got its own emoji. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, released
a statement on Twitter thanking the consortium for “recognizing the impact of this critical crustacean, in Maine and across the country.” The lobster emoji was not without controversy: the first proposed image was missing two legs, causing a great debate among lobster purists. The final design corrected this oversight, keeping supporters and possibly lobsters themselves, happy. Whether you are a lobster lover or not,
emojis are not going anywhere soon. They are a universal set of characters that allow easy wide nonverbal communication. As with all languages, meanings evolve with use and some popular emojis have acquired hidden meaning. You might want to check one of the many online emoji dictionaries and guides to prevent an unintentional message by misusing, for example, one of the fruit emojis.
WinterKids Winter Games registration is open WESTBROOK — Registration is open for Maine teachers and families to participate in the fourth annual WinterKids Winter Games, a four-week series of outdoor physical activity and nutrition challenges for kids. “WinterKids has always thought ‘outside of the building,’ and this year is no different,” said Julie Mulkern, WinterKids executive director. “With teachers, parents, and superintendents taking steps to allow kids to learn in safe, fresh air settings in the midst
of the pandemic, WinterKids is timelier than ever. In Maine, we have an even greater opportunity to access outdoor spaces in schools and at home – with the abundance of land available to use statewide.” WinterKids’ Winter Games allows participation of all kids, whether they are getting in-person education or learning at home. Embracing outdoor learning helps to avoid the pitfalls of online learning and the negative effects of excessive screen time – particularly those in elementary school.
WinterKids will provide resources for both teachers and parents to get their kids outside and active. This year’s weekly challenges (outdoor physical activity, nutrition, family engagement, and winter carnival) will align with themes of resilience, inclusion, community, and service. Families will receive a robust Playbook to use at home and weekly incentives and prizes. There is also a Move, Learn, Explore Facebook group for resource sharing, and downloadable activities on the organization’s website.
“We have adapted the games to be less competitive and more inclusive this year,” said Marion Doyle, WinterKids education director. “Our program accommodates students learning in school or learning remotely at home. It is easy for teachers, families, and parents who are now part-time teachers to get their kids outside to move and learn.” WinterKids expects 400 teachers and 8,000 students and families statewide to participate. Teachers can sign up at www. winterkids.org until Dec. 14.

“It is a privilege for our organization to receive the designation as one of the Best Places to Work in Maine,” said Connie Coggins, president/CEO of HealthReach. “The teamwork and dedication of our staff members has really made a difference as we’ve cared for patients in our communities during an extremely challenging time. We are fortunate to have such a committed team.” A private non-profit with a 45-year
history, HealthReach is funded by patient fees, grants and by the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Better Business Bureau offers tips on buying home gym equipment PORTLAND — As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many consumers are finding ways to work out at home instead of going to the gym. Setting up a home gym is a great way to stay in shape without coming into contact with others, but the equipment can be costly. What do you need to know to make good purchasing decisions and stay within budget? The following tips from the Better Business Bureau will help:
• Measure your space. Another consid-
• Consider your physical needs. Start
with your fitness needs and goals. Any equipment you buy should match up with your objectives and interests – otherwise you may not use the equipment after the initial excitement wears off. If you have any existing health conditions, such as heart disease, arthritis, or a back injury, be sure to check with your doctor about what kind of exercises and equipment are safe for you to use.
found a piece of equipment that matches your fitness objectives, is within your budget, and physically fits in your designated space, it’s time to start reading reviews. Read multiple reviews from several retailers and pay close attention to any comments about the quality of the equipment and the experience with the retailer. Reference these comments when making a final purchasing decision.

of home gym equipment on the market, you can set up an effective home gym on just about any budget. Review your budget and see how much you can afford to spend on home gym equipment, factoring in the money you’ll save if you terminate your gym membership. The National Academy of Sports Medicine and Consumer Reports have useful guides that can help you choose the right equipment for your specific budgeted amount.
eration that will affect your purchasing decision is how much space you have to dedicate to your home gym. Measure your space carefully to see if specific pieces of equipment will fit. Don’t forget to measure any entry ways the equipment must fit through to reach your home gym space as well.

Don’t give in to the temptation to buy equipment that promises miraculous results. Maintaining physical health is a long-term endeavor that will require effort. If a seller says their equipment will get you in shape with little to no effort, a healthy dose of skepticism is advised.
• If possible, test equipment before you
buy. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends wearing exercise clothes and athletic shoes to try out exercise equipment before you buy

and returns so before placing an order, find out if a retailer has a return policy, if refunds are available and how they are issued, what the return process is, who pays for return shipping, how much it costs for heavy gym equipment, and if you will be charged a restocking fee.

upon delivery. Before you take equipment home, make sure it is in perfect condition with no defects. The same goes for receiving a delivery. If you notice the equipment is missing pieces or damage, you aren’t obligated to accept it.
• Understand in-store financing before
you agree to it. If a store offers you inhouse financing for larger equipment purchases, read the financing plan carefully. Find out how long the financing lasts, how much interest you will pay, and whether there is a fee to pay the balance in full early. If a retailer offers you a rent-to-own plan, read the FTC’s advice on renting to own.
• Understand delivery options. When pur-
chasing large home gym equipment like treadmills or weight machines, find out how you will get the equipment from the store to your home. Read carefully or talk directly to a sales representative to find out how much shipping costs, what delivery fees you can expect to pay, and whether or not the delivery person will set up the equipment for you.
• Inquire about fitness equipment returns,
refund policies, and warranties. New home gym equipment usually comes with a guarantee or warranty program, but some retailers may have altered these due to the pandemic. Retailers may now have special restrictions for delivery
For more information, see the article BBB Tip: Smart Online Shopping if you plan to buy gym equipment online. If you prefer to find a safe gym to work out in lieu of setting up a home gym, see the BBB Tip: Joining a Gym. Only make purchases from businesses who adhere to the BBB Standards for Trust.

Some highlights of Children In Action
Rangeley Health and Wellness Fitness Center Facebook photo
RANGELEY — With just a few weeks left of Children In Action this session before the December break, we wanted to show a few highlights of what the kids have been up to! These photos highlight what CIA is
all about this year (outdoor exercise, nutrition, and creative expression). We’ve played countless games outside, learned about new foods through different types of taste test-
ing activities, and created art in both small and big ways! It has been so awesome to see this group grow over the past couple of months. Can’t wait to see what we have in store for next session.
