Featured artists are the Steve Miller Band and Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives, performing at the Rangeley Wellness Pavilion, Dallas Hill Road. Coming off aspring tour, Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer, Steve Miller is looking forward to his summer tour with Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives. Calling it “an amazing evening of original American Music — Classic Rock meets Classic Country,” the tour is certain to be one of the premiere traveling concerts of summer 2019. “I know it is going to be one of the best musical pairings we’ve ever done and an amazing evening of great American music,” says Miller. “For those Steve Miller Band fans who don’t know Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives — Marty Stuart, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson & Chris Scruggs — together they are one of the best singing and playing bands ever and not to be missed.” Stuart describes Miller as a treasure and a true world-class musical citizen. “I so respect him as a

singer, a songwriter, guitar slinger, historian, art connoisseur, bandleader and friend. It’s an honor for the Superlatives and I to run the roads of the nation and share the stage with the Steve Miller Band this summer,” he said. “I predict some amazing musical moments out there on the horizon.” Miller has been an enlivening presence on the American music scene for more than half a century with classic rock hits; recently, Miller has fully immersed himself in the blues and its many byways. In the course of his long, full career, Miller has sold tens of millions of records and his music has been streamed well over 2 billion times. Rangeley Health and Wellness has been bringing legendary rock and country bands to the western mountains of Maine since 2007, with performances by Foreigner, the Beach Boys, Doobie Brothers, Travis Tritt, Gregg Allman, Kenny Loggins, Craig Wayne Boyd, Josh Turner, Clint Black, Creedence Clearwater Revisited and Starship.

’Spot it and stop it’ Skin Cancer Awareness Month reminders Skin cancer is the world’s most common cancer; here in the U.S., more people are diagnosed with the disease each year than all other cancers combined. When caught and treated early, skin cancer is highly curable. When allowed to progress, however, it can cause disfigurement and even death. That’s why The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends adults see a dermatologist at least once a year for a skin exam and perform monthly self-exams at home. Anything on your skin that is new, changing or unusual could be cause for concern. The three most common forms of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. An estimated 4.3 million cases
of BCC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Only in exceedingly rare cases can it spread to other parts of the body and become life-threatening. It shouldn’t be taken lightly, though, as it can be just as disfiguring as other forms of skin cancer if not treated promptly. More than 1 million cases of SCC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, resulting in more than 15,000 deaths annually. Melanoma, one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer, is now being diagnosed more frequently than in the past. In 2019, an estimated 192,310 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed in the U.S.— almost eight percent more than in 2018. “Skin cancer is an epidemic in this country and we anticipate that incidence will continue to rise,” says Deborah S. Sarnoff, M.D.,
president of The Skin Cancer Foundation. “There is some good news — one of the reasons we’re finding more skin cancers is because more people are getting screened than ever before, and doctors are diagnosing tumors that would have gone undetected in the past.” While melanoma incidence is on the rise, the mortality rate is expected to decrease by 22 percent this year. Significant advances in treatment, better public education and early detection are all contributing to this positive trend. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of getting regular skin exams with a dermatologist. Finding a melanoma early can make all the difference in your prognosis — the estimated five-year survival rate for patients whose melanoma is detected ear-
ly is about 98 percent. The survival rate falls to 64 percent when the disease reaches the lymph nodes and 23 percent when the disease metastasizes to distant organs. A professional skin exam takes only a few minutes out of your day, but it can give you peace of mind for the year. To make the most of your appointment, check your skin beforehand and take note of any new, changing or unusual growths on your skin. Be sure to remove any nail polish from your fingernails and toenails. Direct your dermatologist’s attention to any spots you noticed during your exam of your own skin. Be sure your physician examines hard-toreach areas like the scalp, soles of the feet and between the toes. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
The Skin Cancer Foundation’s guide to skin self-exams 1. Examine your face, especially your nose, lips, mouth and ears — front and back. Use mirrors to get a clear view. 2. Thoroughly inspect your scalp, using a blow-dryer and mirror to expose each section to view. Get a friend or family member to help, if you can. 3. Check your hands carefully: palms and backs, between the fingers and under the fingernails. Continue up the wrists to examine both the front and back of your forearms. 4. Standing in front of a full-length mirror, begin at the elbows and scan all sides of your upper arms. Don’t forget the underarms. 5. Next, focus on the neck, chest and torso. Women should lift breasts to view the undersides. 6. With your back to the full-length mirror, use a hand mirror to inspect the back of your neck, shoulders, upper back and any part of the back of your upper arms you could not view in step 4. 7. Still using both mirrors, scan your lower back, buttocks and backs of both legs. 8. Sit down; prop each leg in turn on the other stool or chair. Use the hand mirror to examine the genitals. Check the front and sides of both legs, thigh to shin, ankles, tops of feet, between toes and under toenails. Examine soles of feet and heels.

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 mat-
Page 5
www.turnerpublishing.net
‘Long Shot’ ter 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 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 Cham-
bers (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)

Scam Alert Bulletin Board FRAUD ENTREPRENEURS The Fraud Watch Network Helpline is inundated with calls about scams involving investing in start-ups. Scammers make up elaborate details about hot investment opportunities, or may try to sell you a vague or nonexistent product. As they pressure you to invest, they flaunt their wildly accomplished resume, and offer unrealistic promises, including guaranteed
high returns. Don’t trust someone’s pitch without doing your research. The promise of guaranteed returns is a big red flag. Find out if the investment product is registered with the SEC or your state securities agency. And if it sounds too good to be true, you can bet it likely is.
Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360 to report a scam or get help if you’ve fallen victim.

Walking Books Library bringing art books to East Dixfield DIXFIELD — Walking Books Library has received an amazing donation of books “from away,” which all Mainers are invited to enjoy. A.R.T. Press is donating more than 60 art books including William Wegman’s “Dogs On Rocks,” photographed in Maine and featuring the now famous weimaraners striking poses on rocks around the state. Other highlights of the donation include several collections by African American artists as well as some one-of-a-kind “artist books.” They tend to be quirky works of art all on their own. If you’ve never experienced one before, now’s the chance. All the art books are part of the library’s “check out” program, not the free giveaways, and can be borrowed for one month at a time. No library card needed. For more information or to reserve a book, call 207-491-3672.

I want to apologize to you all for the last few articles that have been sporadic. All I can say is life as a college student is tough right now, but also I’m enjoying every single moment of it. That being said, I want to let you know I still love sharing what is going on in my life with you. Over the past few weeks, I have learned so much about where I am and where I’m going. I want to make sure that I’m intentionally being who God wants me to be, as well as where he wants me to go in this life. I just heard someone say, “Live like you mean it.” This saying has haunted me to the point where it has me intrigued. What does it mean to live
like we mean it? Does it mean we can be brave and show people the truest of ourselves? Does it mean we will embrace the challenges in our lives that once crippled us? I don’t know all the answers, but I know who has the answers. As we all are walking out this journey, we will encounter ways to tap into what it means to live like we mean it. As humans we are born to be in community, which allows us to share our light with those around us. Community with others is essential for building unity in our world. It doesn’t have to be a big thing everyone knows about. It doesn’t have to be a huge event. Just start small. It’s like when you go camping and you make a fire to roast marshmallows. The fire isn’t already created out of thin air (unless it’s a God thing, then that’s something else), but it’s created by gathering twigs, branches, paper and whatever else you need to build a fire. Let light catch fire and shine through our communities, as bright and strong as it can be. For me, being in a community with people is something special, it gives me hope there are people with so much goodness and potential.
Another way we can live like we mean it is facing the unknown. As I shared on having community a second ago, we must be brave enough to embrace the unknown; this is where we can grow into the people we are meant to be. This is/was the hardest thing for me to wrap my mind around. Why? Well, I suffer from anxiety, which has made life tough some of the time. I’ve learned different ways to handle it (celebrate recovery/therapist/pastor). Now I embrace the unknown and put myself out there — to be brave. One of my favorite authors, Annie F. Downs, once said, “There are times when God pushes me to go past that line and be brave, not in an uncomfortable way, but in a brave way.” (https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=uBd6xnimzxg n.d.) This phrase is so true because there have been moments in my life where I wanted to play it safe (stay in my comfort zone), but God gave me a nudge where he said “Britny, here is your new opportunity; embrace it.” So, the next time you feel afraid, know you are not alone. The best is yet to come!

SPECTACULAR Emerging deck trends
Custom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas. Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts' top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point. · Established perimeters: "Picture framing" is not a new trend, but one that has taken greater hold in recent years. The term refers to aesthetically appealing designs that conceal the ends of deck boards for a clean finish. Some designs feature contrasting material colors on the ends for even more impact. This helps create refined perimeters for a polished look. · Roof-top decking: Urban areas also can benefit from decking to create usable outdoor spaces. In fact, many new condominium and townhouse communities are incorporat-
ing roof-top decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other impressive vistas. HGTV experts suggest roof-top decks, feature light-colored materials and fixtures to help keep the area cool, even in direct sunlight. · Distressed hardwood: Builder and Developer, a management resource for professional homebuilders, says that the trend for using distressed hardwoods at home has migrated outside. Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood flooring. This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep of real aged wood. · Wooden walkways: Decking can be the more traditional design people envision with a patio table or outdoor furniture. But it also can consist of wooden walkways or a low-laying patio to accentuate the yard.
· Mixed materials: Homeowners may be inspired by commercial eateries, breweries and urban markets in their exterior design choices. Decks featuring composite materials and aluminum railings blend sophistication, urban appeal and comfort. · Personal touches: Homeowners can customize their decks with personal touches. It's not unheard of to wrap columns in stone or glass tiles for more impact. And a vast array of decking colors now enables fun interpretations for outdoor areas. · Fire pit conversation area: Many decks can incorporate water or fire elements for visual appeal. Gas-fueled fire elements can expand the functionality of decks beyond the warm seasons, or make enjoying them practical on nights when the temperature plummets. Decks are reimagined in many different ways with continually evolving trends.

TICK ALERT
Warm weather brings out the hitchhikers Warmer weather is on its way, which means everyone needs to be doing their part to help prevent tickborne diseases. Providers reported over 1,400 cases of Lyme disease in 2018 (preliminary data as of 3/25/19). May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, each year in Maine — the perfect time to remind everyone to be “Tick Aware and Tick Alert” when spending time outdoors, since ticks are most active in warmer weather. Lyme disease is treatable and most individuals recover completely with proper treatment; however, the easiest way to avoid tickborne diseases is prevention. This month and always, please remember to be “Tick Aware and Tick Alert”: 1. Use caution in areas where ticks may be found; 2. Wear light-colored
clothing that covers arms and legs; 3. Use an EPA approved repellent such as: DEET, picaridin, IR3535, and oil of lemon eucalyptus; and 4. Perform tick checks daily and after any outdoor activity on yourself and pets. Taking a shower after exposure to a tick habitat is an effective way to wash off any unattached ticks and provides a good opportunity to do a tick check. Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection passed through the bite of an infected deer tick. Adults over the age of 65 years and children between the ages of 5 and 15 years have the highest rates of the disease in Maine. Individuals that work and play outside are more likely to be exposed to ticks. Ticks must be attached for 24-48 hours before they can transmit
the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease. Proper tick checks will allow you to find and remove ticks before getting Lyme disease. If you are bitten by a tick or spend a lot of time outdoors, make sure to monitor for symptoms for up to 30 days after exposure. Also be sure to call your healthcare provider if symptoms develop. The most common symptom of Lyme disease is a skin lesion called erythema migrans (EM), better known as the “bull’s-eye” rash. This usually appears 3-30 days after the tick bite. Other symptoms include fever, headache, and joint or muscle pain. Lyme disease is not the only disease that can be carried by deer ticks in Maine. Anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Borrelia miyamotoi, and Powassan are other tickborne infections found
in Maine. The number of provider-reported human cases of anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan decreased in 2018 while reported cases of Borrelia miayamotoi increased slightly. All four remain a public health concern for the Maine Center for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC). While the deer tick is the only species of tick in Maine that can pass the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, there are a number of other species of ticks found across the state. Tick identification is important,
especially when removing ticks. There are tick identification resources available to order at the Maine CDC website. The University of Maine Cooperative Extension Tick ID Lab also offers identification and testing services as well as educational references.
UMA confers degrees at Maine Correctional Center in Windham WINDHAM — The University of Maine at Augusta held graduation exercises on May 1 at the Maine Correctional Center. During the ceremony, nine associate degrees and two bachelor’s degrees were conferred by UMA President Rebecca Wyke. The ceremony included remarks by Wyke and Commissioner of the Department of Corrections Randall Liberty. “We applaud the commit-
ment of these men to turn their lives around through the power of education UMA is proud to partner with the Department of Corrections and pleased to honor the accomplishments of these graduates,” Wyke said. Fred Van Liew, a restorative justice advocate, delivered the keynote address. Van Liew is an attorney, mediator and justice consultant, and a restorative practices coordinator with the Center for Restor-
ative Justice in Portland. A former career prosecutor with the Polk County Attorney’s Office in Des Moines, Iowa, he has been involved in restorative justice practices since the 1990’s and recently published “The Justice Diary: An Inquiry into Justice in America.” UMA began providing educational opportunities at the Maine State Prison in 2006 and the program was expanded in 2017 to the Maine Correctional Cen-

ter in Windham through a Second Chance Pell Grant program. “As a department we recognize the immense value of education. When incarcerated individuals take the initiative to prioritize their education while with us, as these 11 individuals have done, we celebrate their accomplishments,” Liberty, a UMA graduate, said. “At the heart of UMA’s mission is a commitment to transform the lives of its students, regardless of age or background,” said Wyke. “It is not enough for us to say we believe in the power of education to transform lives, we must demonstrate it.”
Citing the 2013 RAND Corporation meta-analysis on education in prisons, Liberty pointed out that the importance of education goes beyond the benefit to the individual. “When offenders engage with correctional education they have 43 percent lower odds of recidivating than those who don’t,” he said. “Reduced recidivism benefits families, communities, and our Maine economy. The benefits are far reaching.” The Vera Institute of Justice, a think tank dedicated to building and improving a justice system that ensures fairness, promotes safety and
strengthens communities, is a partner in the push for greater education at Maine’s correctional facilities. As Vera reports, the success of college education in prison depends on the “quality of partnerships between college and correctional agencies.” A strong partnership between DOC and UMA seems to be exactly what has developed, UMA said in a news release. Over the years many faculty involved in the collaboration have seen firsthand how education transforms the incarcerated. The graduation on May 1 was a celebration of this powerful impact of education, the release said.

Rumford Point church works to restore iconic steeple RUMFORD — The historic Rumford Point Congregational Church is undergoing a steeple and bell tower restoration. The church, on the banks of the Androscoggin River near the intersection of U.S. Route 2 and Route 232, was built in 1864 and added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1985. The church has been a landmark icon for many years, and travelers have noted that seeing the steeple in the distance from either route gives them a warm homecoming feeling. The church itself is active, important and integral to the surrounding communities and in need of being preserved for future generations. The Greek revival building is one of a small number of 19th century churches in Maine with original trompe l’oeil artwork on walls. It originally also had it on the ceilings, which was lost to
water damage, but the rest remains original. The Maine weather over the years has not been kind, and the steeple and supportive bell tower need extensive renovations to preserve and protect their integrity. According to Gartley & Dorsky’s Steeple Conditions Assessment, the old boards are inadequate to hold paint and require replacement. The best option is to cover the vertical boards on the spire with copper cladding for longevity instead of replacing existing vertical boards, painting, and then worrying about future damage. The church bell has not functioned for several years; access to the bell tower to fix that situation became unsafe, so that will be addressed with the restoration project. Joe McSwain of MidMaine Restoration will take on the project. The steeple will be covered with copper
that will be painted to match the rest of the church. The louvers and surrounding wood will be repaired and painted. All work will be done in accordance with historic building requirements. Access to the belfry will be improved and lighting added to this area to make it safer to pass through. The restoration project will also help ensure preservation of the wonderful historic artwork in the sanctuary. In 2018, the church applied for a 50-50 matching grant from the Maine Community Foundation’s Steeple Restoration Fund. A grant of $55,000 was approved in December. Several fund-raisers were held in 2018, including photo quilt and basket raffles, pie night, dance/concert and a capital fund drive. Several more events are planned for 2019, and a GoFundMe page was created.

Reception for Osterhout ART SHOW Table Rock Arts Center celebrates sculpture exhibit is May 24 at Western Maine Art Group RFA Lakeside Theater RANGELEY — The Rangeley Friends of the Arts and the Lakeside Contemporary Art Gallery will host an opening reception for the exhibit “Rick Osterhout – Sculpture,” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 24. There will be light appetizers and a cash bar at the gallery in the lobby of the RFA Lakeside Theater, on Main Street. The exhibit continues through July 1. The recep-
tion and exhibition are free and open to the public. “My sculpture is multi-faceted and varied,” said Osterhout. “All of it starts conceptually and some of it stays there, but throughout I want my work to be pleasing to the eye, well put together and have good composition.” He passionately loves the natural world and tries to tread lightly on it. The materials he works with are often recycled, from
trees he’s selectively cut, from one of the barns he’s saved from the landfill or rocks he has found. He also enjoys using his mind, hands and skills to creatively express thoughts or pay homage. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as when the theater is open for events. For more information visit rangeleyarts.org.
BETHEL — Table Rock Arts Center has announced its newest exhibition, Works of the Artists of the Western Maine Art Group, which opened May 3 and will run until June 2.

Located in Norway, a new generation of creative people in the Western Maine Art Group has helped drive a resurgence of the arts in the area, with its artists coming from an area that encompasses towns as far away as Auburn and spanning all the way to Albany Township joining in on the fun.

Deborah Deshon, Rochelle Draper, Michael Everett, Sherry Grant, Ulla Hansen, Suzanne Hardy, Mike Larosa, Sandra Pealer, Becky Robbins, Judy Schneider,
