MOVIE REVIEW
‘Us’ Lucas Allen (Universal Pictures) Back in 2017, funnyman Jordan Peele took the horror genre to the next level with his Oscar-winning hit “Get Out.” For his sophomore effort “Us,” he brings more intensity and laughs to this thriller with a supposed supernatural twist. If his previous film was a
Hitchcockian film, this one is more of a Kubrickian film within a classic episode of “The Twilight Zone.” The Wilson family is spending a summer weekend at Santa Cruz Beach and Carnival. The mother, Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), has reservations about going back there after a traumatic experience back in the ‘80s. But the father, Gabe (Winston Duke), is still excited about having a fun weekend, with her, son Jason (Evan Alex), and daughter Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph). During the beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker), Adelaide starts to have that unfeeling sense
of terror she hadn’t felt in years. She reveals to her husband that she was alone in the funhouse when she saw someone who looked exactly like her. Then, the family gets unexpected visitors — a family breaks into their beach home. Turns out, the mysterious family happen to be doppelganger versions of the Wilsons, including the one Adelaide saw that very night. Soon enough, the night becomes a fight for survival as the battle between the real family and the murderous clan becomes a violent nightmare. With this film, Peele proves to be no one-trick pony. This time much more inspired by films like “The
Shining” and “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” he’s able to pinpoint our deepest fears in a strange but brilliant story. It’s also much more violent than his previous film with pools of blood and deadly blows to the body that adds to the intensity. In some way, his direction and writing proved more successful the second time around. Everything ties together with the main characters, who are relatable enough that you feel scared alongside them during their tense situation. The mysterious aspect of the doppelgangers feels very present throughout much of the movie, though having their existence being explained in
a confusing matter almost ruins it. However, it’s more interesting if you come out of this film adding your own interpretation and theories in the same manner as “The Shining.” In fact, it’s one of those movies that you can go back time and time again and discover something different about it no matter how silly your theories may sound. No matter how you look at this film, you may never look at your own shadow the same way again. Many of the actors pull double duty as their real characters and their evil doppelgangers, and they managed to succeed spectacularly. Nyong’o in particular brings out a lot out
of herself brilliantly balancing herself between good and evil. Her performance as Adelaide’s doppelganger could be one of the best horror villains in recent memory. Jordan Peele does it again with Us, and he did an amazing job creating a superior horror experience than “Get Out.” He seems to be on the verge of a memorable career in horror movies especially co-producing and co-writing next year’s “Candyman.” Let’s hope he keeps up that momentum without losing any steam. THE MOVIE’S RATING: R (for violence/terror and language) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.5 Stars (Out of Four)

Disabled veterans’ moose hunt lottery application deadline May 3
V. Paul Reynolds American veterans who served their country richly deserve our appreciation, no matter where, when or how they served. If they wore a U. S. military uniform, they were in the freedom-preservation business. Next to those who made the ultimate sacrifice stand other very special American servicemen and women — the disabled veterans. With all of this in mind, it is notable and praiseworthy that within Maine’s outdoor community there are a large number of patriotic and compassionate hunting and
fishing guides, as well as sporting camp operators donating their time and energy showing disabled vets a memorable time in the woods and on the waters of Maine. One such program is the Disabled Veterans Controlled Moose Hunt, held annually on farmland specified by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife (IF&W). The Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services is now accepting applications for the 2019 moose hunt. Since the program’s inception in 2010, MBVS has partnered with IF&W and Smoldering Lake Outfitters to issue hunting permits and essential equipment to participating veterans. This year, IF&W has allocated moose hunting permits for disabled veterans who are residents of Maine — and a small group of non-resident
disabled veterans — to participate in the Disabled Veterans Controlled Moose Hunt. This hunt is not the same as the regular IF&W moose lottery, as it requires each hunter to team up with a registered Maine Guide who has specific training for the Controlled Moose Hunt and is open only to veterans with a disability rating of at least 50 percent. If a veteran has ever tagged a moose through the Disabled Veterans Controlled Moose Hunt, they are ineligible to hunt again. This year, there will be three hunts in August and two in September. The hunt, which is entirely free for selected veterans, costs $50,000 to administer and is funded entirely through donations and sponsorships from local businesses, organizations and individuals. In order to continue provid-

ing this program for veterans at no cost, the public is encouraged to donate or sponsor the program. All funds raised go toward covering costs associated with the hunt, including hunting guide services, essential adaptive equipment, meat processing and travel & lodging for participants. For related questions, contact Sarah Sherman at sarah.sherman@maine.gov or 207-430-5816. “I can’t overstate how valuable this program is to our veterans,” said David Richmond, acting director of the Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services. “Every year, veterans tell us just how much this experience impacts them. It’s more than just a fun memory; for many, it can be rehabilitating, getting to share an experience with other veterans and the fellowship that it brings.” Roger Line, a Navy and
Gulf War veteran, participated in the program in 2017 and shares his experience here: “Shortly after arriving at Smoldering Lake Outfitters, owner Dave Hentosh told us ‘the moose is the excuse’ and I was certainly excited to have an opportunity to bring one home. As the sun set on that Sunday, I kept thinking about ‘the excuse.’ We sat that evening in the great room sharing our military experiences, and it did not take me long to figure out what exactly Dave meant. Our service spanned Vietnam to the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We were five brothers-in-arms, brought together through a man’s vision with an excuse to relax and have the hunt of a lifetime.” Applications must be submitted by mail or email to the Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services,

Farmington Rotary partners on youth literacy project FARMINGTON — Farmington Rotary, as part of its dedication to the youth of the community, has recently supported several area projects involving youth. A major project benefitting area youth is the Little Free Library project that Rotary is partnering on with Kenny Brechner, of Devaney, Doak & Garrett Booksellers. Eight “literacy houses” are being built for area schools and they will soon be filled with galleys that the bookstore
receives — advance copies of books sent for promotional purposes. The intent is for students to pick up the galleys to own, borrow or share. Brechner is in the process of setting up an online hub where the children can compare notes about what they’ve read and continue the conversation through the school district. The creation of the little houses has been a collaborative effort: Farmington Rotarian Dennis O’Neil had all the parts cut out, Mt. Blue
High School teacher Jake Bogar and his pre-engineering students at Foster Career and Technical Center burned logos into the houses. All the metal bases were constructed by Rob Olsen’s students in the Metal Fabrication program at Foster CTE Center. Rotarians Pauline Rodrigue and Al Feather will organize an assembly of the houses at the school once all the parts are completed. They will work with students from the high school interact club and the Uni-
versity of Maine at Farmington Rotaract club to create the final product. Farmington Rotary President Sue Pratt also recently presented a $1,000 check to the Mt. Blue High School’s Blue Crew robotics team, the Blue Crew, to support that program. Farmington Rotary is open to all. Meetings are held on Thursdays at 7 a.m. at the North Dining Hall on the UMF campus. Follow the group’s activities on Facebook.

PLAN and GROW your business with monthly tips on various subjects such as taxes, human resources, and marketing.
Manage your finances Accounting for revenue and expenses can help keep your business running smoothly. Make sure you maintain proper bookkeeping and have a basic knowledge of business finances.
Start with a balance sheet The balance sheet is the foundation of managing your finances. It operates as a snapshot of your business financials. It helps you keep track of your capital and provide a cash flow projection for future years. A balance sheet will help you account for costs like employees and supplies. It will also help you track assets, liabilities, and equity. You can get insights by separating and analyzing segments of your business, like comparing online sales to face-to-face sales.
Cost-benefit analysis Looking closely at money-in and money-out helps maintain a sustainable balance between profit and loss. From development and operations to recurring and nonrecurring costs, it’s important to categorize expenses in your balance sheet. Then, you can use a cost-benefit analysis to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of a business decision, and put potential recurring benefits and cost reductions in context. A CBA is a technique for making non-critical choices in a relatively quick and easy way. It simply involves adding money in benefits and money in costs over a specified time period, before subtracting costs from benefits to determine success in terms of dollars. This
can come in handy with hiring another employee or an independent contractor. For example, let’s say you’re deciding whether to add outdoor seating for your sausage themed restaurant, Haute Dog. You estimate outdoor seating would add $5,000 in extra profit from sales each year. But, the outdoor seating permit costs $1,000 each year, and you’d also have to spend $2,000 to buy outdoor tables and chairs. Your cost-benefit analysis shows that you should add outdoor seating, because the new benefits ($5,000 in new sales) outweigh the new costs ($3,000 in permitting and equipment expenses).
Pick a method of accounting Businesses often use either the accrual or cash methods of recording purchases. The accrual method

For example, if you make a sale in January and receive the $200 payment in February, an accrual method would allow you to record that on January’s books, while the cash method would require that payment to land on February’s books.

How to protect your yard from deer With more than 60 different species of deer worldwide, there’s a good chance individuals will have some sort of interaction with these majestic animals at one point during their lifetimes. Deer, which live on all continents except Antarctica, can survive in everything from mountainous areas to wet rainforests to suburban neighborhoods. These herbivores are voracious eaters that will search far and wide for their meals. Home landscapes tend to be easy pickings for foraging deer.
Spring may be especially good at warding off deer. · Plant in levels. Raised beds and sunken gardens can discourage deer from coming into the yard because they aren’t avid climbers, offers the home and garden resource This Old House.
Many people are excited to see deer in their neighborhoods and yards because they can be such graceful creatures to behold. However, once deer start to munch on ornamental trees, annuals and flowering shrubs, the novelty of these animals may wear off. Furthermore, deer also can be covered in ticks that spread illnesses like Lyme disease. Here are some tips to keep deer at bay. · Avoid tasty morsels. Deer like English ivy, lettuces, impatiens, pansies, and hostas. Fruit trees also are targets. Choose other plants to grow, and wait until after early spring, when deer aren’t as concerned with regaining weight lost during the winter, to get them in the ground. · Use fishing line to deter deer. Put a few stakes in the ground and then run fishing line at a height of about three feet. Deer can sense movement but do not have keen vision. As the deer approach your garden, they’ll brush against the “invisible” fishing line and then get spooked off. · Plant plants that produce strong aromas. The experts at Good Housekeeping suggest planting lavender and marigolds, which emit strong aromas. Deer will be reluctant to walk through because the smell can interfere with their ability to find food and assess their environment via their sense of smell. · Stock up on soap. The tallow in soap helps keep deer away, according to the University of Vermont Extension Department of Plant and Soil Science. Scented soaps like Irish

· Employ harmless scare tactics. Deer are skittish, and any unfamiliar movement or sound may scare them away. Cans hung from strings, sundials and lights can keep them at bay. Deer will seek out an easy meal, but homeowners can take steps to safeguard their trees, flowers and shrubs.

Our 16-county grant program goal was to showcase and reward the best of summer programs across our state.” “We have tremendous need in our schools, nearly 60% of our students are eligible for free school meals” said Debbie Nokes, School Nutrition Director for RSU 56. “During the summer months,
many of those children don’t know where their next meal will come from, and serving summer lunches is critical to their well-being.” Maine has 123 Summer Food Service Programs with 450 meal sites across the state. In 2018, 727,238 summer meals were served statewide. Started in 2015, Full Plates Full Potential is Maine’s only statewide child hunger organization. Full Plates Full Potential does its work by partnering with other hunger relief organizations, granting funds and providing technical support to schools and nonprofits and working with chefs, businesses and others to end child hunger.
