Perham Stream Birding Trail FEATURE EVENT brings history, nature together Summer reading program at Rangeley Library begins July 10
MADRID TOWNSHIP — Nestled in Madrid’s Intervale, the low-lying area between Saddleback, Saddleback Junior and Mount Abraham, is the Perham Stream Birding Trail and Museum, a merging of history and nature, that’s open year-round and free to visitors. Carson Hinckley, the owner and proprietor, invites the community to enjoy the 2.2mile trail network, which winds nature enthusiasts through five birding sub-habitats, offers panoramas of the valley and unique opportunities to enjoy the history of one of Maine’s many unor-
ganized townships. The trail is wide and maintained with a mower biweekly, is easy to navigate, and is suitable for all ages. Pets are welcome but must be leashed. Though teeming with history, the valley is mostly barren of homesteads. Once home to 68 buildings, only a few stands today. A cemetery, maintained by Hinckley, speaks to the generations who built their lives in the Intervale, where there was no store and bartering was the way of life. The museum hosts a collection of historic farming equipment that was used in
the Intervale as recently as the last decade. Hinckley has been collecting and sharing his collection with visitors for many years. As he says, “If the barn door is open, the museum is open.” To visit the Perham Stream Birding Trail, go north on Route 4 to Phillips, turn right onto Route 142 in Phillips. Foll Route 142 for 2.5 miles, turn left onto the East Madrid Road. The trail is 4.7 miles from this turn, stay straight through the intersection, cross over Perham Stream, arriving at 658 East Madrid Road, a red farmhouse. The trailhead and kiosk are on the left.
RANGELEY — The theme for this year’s summer reading program at the Rangeley Public Library, 7 Lake St., is out of this world. With the theme of “A Universe of Stories,” this year’s program will focus on the sun, moon, planets, astronauts, and other interesting things related to outer space.
As in past years, there will be separate programs for preschoolers and for primary to early elementary-aged children. The 6 to 9-yearolds will meet Wednesday mornings, and 3 to 5-year olds will have a choice between Thursday and Friday mornings (same program both days). All groups meet
from 10 to 11:30 a.m. starting on Wednesday, July 10, and ending Tuesday, Aug. 16. Activities may include stories, snacks, crafts, games and more. Please sign up at the library for all days that your child will be attending. For more information, call 207-864-5529.

Birders from the Rangeley Birding Festival visit Perham Stream Birding Trail.
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 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
•Light Backhoe & Loader Work •Privacy Buffers •Tree & Shrub Planting • New Lawn Installation
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!

BETHEL — The Bethel Art Fair, an annual celebration of the diversity of art and artists in western Maine, will take place the evening of Friday, July 5, and all day Saturday, July 6. “The community has really embraced this event and given it new life in the past few years,” said Jessie Perkins of the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce. “The arts have long been a big part of the fabric of our town and it’s great to witness the number of businesses, organizations, and individuals that make this event full of art of all kinds.” The Bethel Art Fair is organized by the chamber with substantial collaboration from Bethel Area Arts & Music. The event kicks off Friday with the 15th annual Shy, Novice and Closeted Art Show. The SNC art show’s reception is at 6:30 p.m. at
18 High St. The Gem Theater also screens “Walking on Water,” a film documenting artist Christo’s huge installation “The Floating Piers” on Italy’s Lake Iseo at 7 p.m., 23 Cross St. The screening is preceeded by a 6 p.m. social with Northern Italian Wines. Saturday showcases more than 50 artists and food vendors on the town common from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Also on the town common will be performances by the Nevaeh Dance Circus and the Telstar High School Drama Club, participatory art projects with BAAM, and a large tent in the center of the common with the work of Scott Lane. Around town, the Philbrook Place will have art on display at Elements Art Gallery and Table Rock Arts Center. Local youth art will be displayed at Gould Academy’s Owen Art Gallery, the Museums of the Bethel Historical
Society will be open with several exhibits, DiCocoa’s will be open for making bread art, and Maine CoLab will host an open house with a photography exhibit and jewelry making, an open studio of plein air artists at Isham Farm, and the continuation of the Shy, Novice, and Closeted Art Show. On Saturday evening there will be a parking lot party at The Philbrook Place, and at The Gem Theater will be an art showcase with the work of Stephanie Herbeck, followed by live performances from three musical acts.

RFA fundraiser July 11 to feature Carole King tribute performance RANGELEY — Rangeley Friends of the Arts will hold a fundraiser Thursday, July, 11, featuring a Carole King tribute band. The evening begins with private cocktail receptions at 5:30 p.m., followed by a dessert reception with a cash bar. The concert features “Tapestry: The Carole King Songbook,” starring Suzanne O. Davis. This show recreates the sound and vibe of a 1970s Carole King concert expe-
rience following her legendary album, “Tapestry.” Attention to detail is taken in recreating a respectful and accurate musical presentation of piano and vocals, just as they were for a journey back to the great recordings. All proceeds from this event go toward improvements to the theater’s entrance, lobby and concessions area. Visit rangeleyarts.org for tickets.

Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust is PEDIATRIC DENTIST Community Service Award winner Augusta dentist honored by Maine Dental Association
RANGELEY — The Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce awarded its annual Community Service Award to the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust. The ceremony took place at the chamber’s Annual Dinner at the Furbish Brew House & Eats on June 10.
The award, presented by the Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce, is in recognition of all that the trust does to benefit the Rangeley region, the chamber said. Chamber Vice President Margie Jamison presented a plaque to David Miller,
RLHT executive director, commemorating the occasion. Congratulatory letters from U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine; U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine; and Rep. Jared Golden, D-2nd District, were also presented by the senators’ and Golden’s staff.

BAR HARBOR — Dr. Jonathan Shenkin, a pediatric dentist who practices in Augusta, has been recognized by the Maine Dental Association with inclusion on its Honor Wall, which recognizes “those who have given extraordinary service to the Maine Dental Association” and is displayed at the organization’s headquarters in Manchester. Shenkin, along with Dr. Dean Tourigny, were lauded as the Honor Wall’s newest members at the Maine Dental Association’s annual convention June 1 at the Harborside Hotel, Spa and Marina in Bar Harbor. Shenkin has been on the MDA Executive Board since 2004, serving as president in 2009-2010, and is the board’s long-term representative to the American
Dental Association. He has served as vice president of the ADA, on ADA committees, and is an ADA spokesperson on the subject of pediatric dentistry. “Dr. Shenkin has been a strong advocate for public health policies that improve the health and well-being of Maine residents, with a particular focus on children,” Dr. Kathryn Horutz, outgoing MDA executive board president, said. “Representing the interests of our patients, communities and the profession is one of the greatest opportunities I have had as a dentist,” Dr. Shenkin said. Shenkin was named a Fulbright Scholar in 2015 and is a fellow of the American College of Dentists, International College of Dentists and Pierre Fau-
chard Academy. Incorporated in 1867, the Maine Dental Association is a professional membership organization of licensed dentists. The MDA works to support members in achieving excellence in dentistry and to be leaders in oral health in Maine. For more information about the MDA, go to www.medental.org.

SPECTACULAR
Tips for hosting a fun 4th of July party The Fourth of July is a day to celebrate in the United States. Much about July makes the fourth day of the month the ideal time to celebrate. School is out, the weather is warm and the generally relaxed attitude of summer has typically set in by the first week of July. People tasked with hosting Fourth of July festivities may not feel the same pressure when hosting such gatherings that they would when hosting more formal affairs. The relaxed nature of summer often pervades Fourth of July festivities, but hosts can still take a crash course in summer hosting to ensure everyone has a good time. · Don’t try to break the mold. Some hosts may be
tempted to think outside the box in regard to the foods and beverages they’ll serve at their Fourth of July parties. While hosts can still experiment and serve new foods and creative cocktails at their parties, many guests will be anticipating some Fourth of July staples, such as grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and cold beer and lemonade. Making sure such foods and beverages are served alongside more experimental fare won’t disappoint traditionalists, and those looking for something beyond the norm won’t be disappointed, either. · Embrace the red, white and blue. When decorating, opt for red, white and blue decorations. This gives the party a distinctly Fourth of July feel. Red, white and blue napkins and tablecloths are readily available come July, and hosts with a gift for crafts can even create their own

Located in Rangeley Douglas Gage (207) 864-3446 or (508)932-8663
decorations to use year after year. · Prepare to entertain. Unlike holiday season gatherings that typically begin in the evening, Fourth of July parties tend to begin in the afternoon and extend into the night. That means hosts must not just feed their guests, but entertain them as well. Since Fourth of July parties tend to take place outdoors, plan lots of backyard games, such as badminton, bocce, Wiffle ball, horseshoes, and more. Hosts with swimming pools should have pool games readily available as well. · Leave the fireworks to the professionals. Hosts should not succumb to pressure, real or perceived, to supply fireworks at their Fourth of July parties. Fireworks can lead to injuries and accidents and are best left to the professionals who put on community fireworks shows. Discourage guests from bringing their own fireworks by making it known they will be asked to leave the party if they do. · Arrange transportation home for guests. To make sure everyone gets home safe and sound, arrange in advance for some guests to serve as designated drivers. Hosts also should abstain from consuming alcohol during the party so they can get people home safe if necessary. Keep a list of local taxi company phone numbers on hand and encourage guests who plan to consume alcohol to use ridesharing apps to get to and from the party. Fourth of July festivities typically are less formal than other celebrations, but hosts still must plan their parties to ensure everyone has a fun, safe Independence Day.

Living in peace at Peace Ridge Sanctuary According to the organization’s web site, www. peaceridge.org, the sanctuary is “situated atop a hill overlooking hundreds of acres of protected forests... a peaceful enclave of pastures and ponds, making it a haven for wildlife
and farmed animals alike.” Peace Ridge is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to plan a visit, call 207-722-3035 or visit www.peaceridgesanctuary.org. Daniella Tessier founded Peace Ridge Sanctuary, de-
scribed as “a loving home for neglected and abused animals.” After working for the animal rights movement and “transporting animals from high-kill shelters to reputable sanctuaries,” Tessier says the sanctuary movement “represents, to
me, the potential we have to recreate a positive paradigm for our relationship with animals; sanctuaries give us the stage to show people this is how it could be.” Founded by Danielle Tessier, Peace Ridge Sanc-
tuary partners with area shelters along the coast of Maine “to find permanent homes for homeless dogs” and other abused or neglected animals. Call 207722-3035 or visit www. peaceridgesanctuary.org to learn more.

UMF’s Campus Residence Council gives back to the community FARMINGTON — Each year the University of Maine’s Campus Residence Council plans and hosts a UMF Faculty and Staff Appreciation Dinner. This event uses student votes to recognize members of faculty, as well as university staff, who go above and beyond for the school. Traditionally a ‘trinket’ (key chain, water bottle, coffee mug, etc.) was provided to each attendee at the dinner. The CRC decided they’d rather do something more impactful with the money in that budget line and changed its destination. Now for every RSVP to the banquet, a $10 donation is made to United Way. When asked about why this change was made, Mari-
ah Langton, vice president of CRC and banquet committee member, noted that “United Way serves so many communities in Franklin County. They are a vital organization to our UMF community.” Another active member, Alyssa Higbie, said “Being a student at UMF for the past four years, it is clear to me how much of a positive impact the United Way makes in our community through the numerous programs and services they provide. To be able to give back to such deserving organization that does so much good for so many is something that I — as well as the Campus Residence Council as a whole — am truly passionate about.” As the governing body
for residence life, the CRC’s mission is to ensure a high-quality of life for all residential students. It is an elected body of residential students working to improve not only the residence halls but also the overall residence hall experience at the University. United Way works closely with many of the student-body organizations at the university with regard to volunteer opportunities, events and initiatives. To stay current on events, resources, activities, information and more, be sure to ‘like’ the United Way of the Tri-Valley Area on Facebook (www.facebook. com/uwtva). United Way is located at 218 Fairbanks Road and can be reached at 207-778-5048.

DNA TESTING SCAMS
A new Medicare scam involves “free” DNA swab tests as health screenings. You may visit a booth at a health fair or receive a flyer in the mail offering an incentive for signing up for a DNA sample. Before engaging, consider that genetic tests must be ordered by your doctor and must be medically necessary to be covered by Medicare. Scammers use these tactics to steal your insurance information and sensitive medical
information. Additionally, some might sell your DNA information to third party companies AND you will still owe the costs since they aren’t covered by your insurance plan. Know the risks and speak to your doctor and insurance provider before agreeing to “no-cost” tests and lengthy medical history assessments. 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 1-877-9083360 to report a scam or get help if you’ve fallen victim.

MOVIE REVIEW
‘Men in Black: International’ Lucas Allen (Columbia Pictures/Amblin Entertainment) Before superheroes dominated the summer movie season, there was a time when aliens invaded theaters to the delight of audiences everywhere. One of them was the 1997 sci-fi action/comedy “Men in Black,” which offered a clever premise of a secret intergalactic police
agency, while also utilizing then-groundbreaking CGI and Academy Award-winning SFX makeup by Rick Baker. After two successful sequels in 2002 and 2012, “Men in Black: International” will have to make the series prove viable again in this season of sequels. The person handling this difficult task will be F. Gary Gray the director of “The Fate of the Furious,” who takes the place of series veteran Barry Sonnenfeld. Molly (Tessa Thompson) has been obsessed with the secret agency ever since she witnessed her parents being neuralyzed. When she does find the New York City headquarters, Agent O (Emma Thompson) be-
lieves that the young woman may be more valuable as an agent. Now as Agent M, she goes to the London headquarters for a possible assignment. Upon meeting the High T (Liam Neeson), she partners up with Agent H (Chris Hemsworth) who’s becoming a reckless and undisciplined agent much to the annoyance of Agent C (Rafe Spall). Their first assignment together is to protect an alien ambassador from twin alien assassins (Laurent and Larry Bourgeois). But after it went poorly, the two agents soon realize there could be a mole within the MiB that could surely bring doom to the Earth. The two of them then team up with a small alien pawn (voice of Kumail Nanjiani) before look-

lacks the original’s uniqueness making this film just another sequel. The whole mystery subplot is very predictable that you’ll likely know what the outcome is once the movie begins. Most of the aliens are CGI, which is fine, but having no one like Baker doing the makeup effects completely takes away the charm of the other movies. Even though they were really trying to make a good movie, it’s clear that this series has lost its mojo and may not be able to recover from it. At least the cast seem to be having a blast being a part of this film. Hemsworth is basically playing secret agent Thor, but he has some hilarious moments that makes his performance worthwhile.
Thompson brings a more smart-aleck approach to her performance, and her chemistry with Hemsworth from Thor: Ragnarök continues to be pretty impressive. Neeson is just playing a nothing boss character, but he still gives it his all especially in some scenes. “Men in Black: International” has that cool factor, but not enough to reach the standards the other films achieved. It’s a perfectly fine entry, but you might rather go back and watch the trilogy that remains as high-quality sci-fi comedies. THE MOVIE’S RATING: PG-13 (for sci-fi action, some language, and suggestive material) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3 Stars (Out of Four)

ing for H’s ex-girlfriend Riza (Rebecca Ferguson) who could hold the key to discovering the mole. Without the presence of Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones, the series has very little reason to continue unless the filmmakers can find a way to bring something new to the table. Fortunately, they did try to add an element of a global-wide adventure making it feel something different than before. There’s still enough of what fans can recognize that still make the franchise what it is like the alien designs, the cool gadgets, and the action mixed with the comedy. Also, there’s some intense fight scenes that help add to the fun of the movie. Unfortunately, the script
