Funny things kids say! Well, I busted out laughing. Of course I knew what he meant. — Marilou Suchar, now 78, of Vassalboro
Funny Things Kids Say
My 4-year-old greatgrandson and I were singing Christmas songs. I started singing “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” I was half way through the song when Hunter held up his finger and said, “ Meme, wait. You need the whole mouth full!” I have no teeth. Out of the mouths of babes.— Janet Heath of Jay

Of course, we laughed! It was my bad veins she was seeing! — Rena “GG” Clark of No. Anson. When my boys were little (they were 4 and 5 years old, just 14 months apart), the younger one was messing in the trash can and I raised my voice to scold him. My oldest son, then about 5 years old, said, “But Mama, Gregory is your mother and he loves you.”

My husband, sisterin-law and I took my 3-year-old grandson to a Marriners hockey game. He loves hockey and was very excited to go. When we got there I asked if he was hungry. He said, “Yes, but you have to go get it; Papa and I are watching hockey.” The funny thing is the game hadn’t even started. The teams were still practicing! — Tammy Thatcher of Durham

We frequently have my 5-year-old twin grandsons stay overnight with us. One morning I asked them if they wanted French toast for breakfast. Oliver answered, “No. I don’t want any because I don t want the smoke alarm to go off again!” My 2-year-old granddaughter was trying very hard to put a left shoe
on her right foot. After several failed attempts, I told her the shoe may fit better on her other foot. She thoughtfully looked down at her left foot and said, “THERE’s the foot I was looking for!” — Suzanne Johnson of Buckfield

I was sitting on the couch soaking my foot in a tub of warm water. My 4-yr old greatgranddaughter, Ramsey, hopped up on the couch beside me and asked me to read a book to her. She looked down at my foot soaking in the tub and said, “G.G., your foot is dirty!” “What?” I said. I set me foot up on the side of the tub. “Your foot is all purplely!” she said.

GOOD TIMES IN AN RV
Page 5
Your best cabin fever cure is on wheels: RVing Coddiwomple: Life in an RV By Chris Decker Experienced RVer
About this time every year, adults and children alike, dream about warmer days in the sun and summer nights under the stars. Yes, cabin fever has set in! With daylight barely over nine hours a day, my wife, Deb, and I dream of sunsets after 8 p.m. and sunrises before 5 a.m. Days at camp, nights in a tent, or days in an RV, it’s how we seek revelry in the Maine summers. Before you know it, we’ll be watching the snowbanks
dwindle and grass and daffodils peeking up through the frozen tundra. Camping season is coming! This is a new article about learning and experiencing life camping, particularly RVing. Each article will focus on learning experiences, things to know, and anecdotal remarks on our personal experience on learning about life on the road. I will also be soliciting feedback from you, the reader. What do you want to know, learn about, or just read about? Here’s a little bit of background about our experience with camping. Camping used to be a serious backwoods adventure with very few luxuries. For 25 years, our
life has been backpacking in western Maine, tenting in Baxter, and canoeing the Allagash. Then, 10 years ago, Deb and I purchased a used pop-up camper. This provided a little more fun, a lot less work, and just a few more comforts of home. Over the last four years, we upgraded to a 30-foot tow-behind travel trailer. This opened up a whole new world! Prior to 2015, Deb and I were relegated to camping in Northern New England. Our travel trailer, aptly named “Campah,” changed all of that and gave us the ability to explore beyond our “shores.” During the last four years, we set forth on discovering America and in turn, found
ourselves. Let me tell you about an early learning experience with our new TT. With a Ford F150 and a good size trailer, you can carry a lot, but not everything. And where you carry it makes a difference. Deb and I have a nice tabletop grill we purchased at Beans and it works great. Nothing like hamburgers and steaks on an outside gas grill! And we even have bacon and eggs cooked up on it for breakfast. But, where do you store it when traveling? Deb and I take a lot of stuff with us, particularly if there are more than just the two of us. There is a lot of unused space in the bathroom of an RV, especially in the tub area.
Customer Service is our #1 Priority Family Owned Since 1978 M-F 8am-5pm Sat 8am-12pm 372 Farmington Falls Rd, Rts. 2 & 27 East, Farmington 207-778-3482 www.goodtimesrvsales.com

Updates from Skowhegan Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution MADISON — Members of Eunice FarnsworthRuth Heald Cragin Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their March meeting at the home of Lena Arno in Madison. The meeting opened with the ritual, followed by a business meeting. New officers were nominated and approved for the upcoming three-year term beginning in June. Following the meeting, a DVD program was presented titled, “The Maple Sugaring Story.” It gave the his-
tory of maple sugaring that began with the Indians and later was utilized by New England settlers who used maple sugar instead of cane sugar.

The April 13 meeting will be held at 10 a.m. at the Skowhegan Public Library in the Genealogy Room. There will be a librarian from that depart-

MOVIE REVIEW
April 2019
‘Fighting with My Family’
Lucas Allen (MGM/WWE Studios) Some people may be turned off by wrestling that is basically “sports theater,” with pro athletes pretending to kill each other for entertainment. But the new movie “Fighting with My Family” should help non-fans open up to the ins and outs of the rigorous experience that it
takes to get to the top. Besides being written and directed by character actor Stephen Merchant, it’s also produced by WWE superstar and blockbuster actor Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, who also appears as himself. Growing up in Norwich, England, Sara (Florence Pugh) and her brother Zak (Jack Lowden), became part of a wrestling family with their parents Ricky (Nick Frost) and Julia (Lena Heady), who are also promoters. Their big dream is to make it to the WWE alongside all the other legends of the sport. Opportunity soon comes k nock ing when Sara and Zak are called in to audition to become part
of a new lineup. But afterwards, Sara is the only one chosen of the lot and has to leave behind Zak and her parents for training. Upon arriving in Miami and now named Paige, she quickly finds the regimen under the coaching of Jake Roberts (Vince Vaughn) muc h more dema nding than she anticipated. Worse for her, she doesn’t fit in with the other prettier and bodacious female wrestlers she had to train with. Back home, Zak finds himself unable to cope with rejection, and it’s affecting his personal life. It soon leads to family drama that threatens their dreams. The best way to describe
this movie is a uniquely odd amalgamation of British comedy and biographical sports drama. It’s like if Monty Python wanted to make a Rocky-type movie without losing some of their famous brand of humor. Yet Merchant managed to create a likable movie where the comedy and drama work well together without causing any bad tonal shift. Thanks to the charm of its British setting along with some of their characters, it makes a very appealing choice for fans of both genres. This movie isn’t apologetic about using certain sports drama clichés while telling the true story of Paige’s rise to glory. It includes her many struggles
with training before an eventual climatic fight in the ring. However, the main character’s likability and her family’s hilarious moments help make it feel refreshing without treading on mediocrity. No matter if you already know how it all goes down or not, you’ll be left cheering through the end. Both Frost and Headey easily steal the movie giving such natural performances being given the right moments to shine. Pugh does a fine job portraying her character as a humble yet determined young wrestler. Lowden is basically playing a “wet blanket” character meant to move the drama along, which can get grating for
some viewers. Vaughn is surprisingly great in a serious role that doesn’t include his unfunny shtick, while Johnson has a good extended cameo. “Fighting with My Family” brings the right attitude and right amount of heart for its audiences. It’s likable enough that you can watch it once and feel good about yourself for the rest of the day. If it doesn’t make you want to watch wrestling, then nothing will. THE MOVIE’S R ATING: PG-13 (for crude and sexual material, language throughout, some violence and drug content). THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.25 Stars (Out of Four)

Arts commission awards cultural development grants AU G U S TA — T h e Maine Arts Commission has announced the commitment of $150,000 in cultural development funding for the communities of Lewiston/ Auburn, and the Somerset County/Skowhegan region of Maine. The Maine Arts Commission recently awarded Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Skowhegan the Creative Communities = Economic Development Implementation Grant, on behalf of their communities. The CCED grant supports and stimulates initiatives in Maine’s arts and culture sector. Having successfully completed the first phase of cultural planning required by the CCED grant, both recipients were eligible to apply for $75,000 in funding distributed over a three-year period based on successful completion of the previous year’s Implementation Plan. For t h is g r a nt , t he Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce serves as the lead organization. L/A Arts, with support from Arts and Culture LA and the municipalities of Lewiston and Auburn, along with the Chamber will implement the Cultural Plan LA and use the funding to develop public art programs and policies in the Twin Cities. “The LA Metro Chamber is eager to pull the people of the Twin Cities together to pursue the ambitious
programs of Cultural Plan LA, beginning with the exciting installation of public artworks,” said Rebecca Swanson Conrad, president and CEO of the LA Metro Chamber. “We are so pleased that the Maine Arts Commission continues to share our vision for a vibrant LA community, and support our use of cultural planning as a pivotal tool for sustainable community revitalization.” In Skowhegan, community groups believe the arts will play a vital role in the town’s history and future. Main Street Skowhegan, the lead organization spearheading the CCED Grant Implementation Plan, is partnering with the Wesserunsetts Arts Council in Somerset County to focus on ongoing revitalization of the community and its history on the Kennebec River. Their mission is to grow a vibrant cultural destination centered around an arts festival called Kennebec on Fire. “This grant is so exciting for our region because several years of work by many dedicated people have gone into drafting a cultural plan for Somerset County, and our project, Kennebec on Fire is a direct result of that planning effort,” said Kristina Cannon, executive director of Main Street Skowhegan. “We are extremely excited to draw attention to our river, which has been the lifeblood of the community for so long, while
at the same time further promoting Skowhegan and the region as a destination for cultural experiences, including outdoor recreation, local food, and of course the arts.” By combining the arts and the lure of popular river lighting festivals, Main Street Skowhegan plans to build a successful and sustainable business model that will bolster tourism, generate prosperity and create a sense of place for its residents, and draw interest among neighboring communities along the Kennebec River. “ We a r e e sp e c ia l ly pleased to announce these grants,” said Julie Richard executive director of the Maine Arts Commission. “Both of these regions have worked so hard to get here. Their Cultural Plans are wonderful guides to move their work forward and we anticipate that the projects they have chosen to work on will provide excellent catalysts for economic success for their communities.” To learn more about the Commission’s CCED grants and to find information regarding funding programs and services go to MaineArts.com.

Feeding wild birds becomes a magical experience NORRIDGEWOCK — Veronica Carrigan of Norridgewock obviously loves birds, especially the friendly chickadees that are more than happy to eat out of her hand. She says she has been feeding and watching birds for about five years. “I could stare out the window all day and see what new arrival has come,” she admitted, adding “I also feed squirrels.” Carrigan says it wasn’t difficult to lure the chicka-
dees to her hand. “I have a couple feeders right outside my bedroom window,” she said. “About three weeks ago, I decided to put some seed in my hand and stick it out the window. Within minutes, I had a swarm of chickadees and even a red breasted nuthatch eating from my hand!” She was surprised it didn’t take longer than that. “They are used to me now. A few even sit in my palm for a while to eat,” she said.
“It’s a wonderful experience! I usually wait until they are busy at the feeders. I lean my phone against the window and start shooting. I’m not even looking to see what I capture. At times, I get lovely surprises.” Carrigan says interacting with the birds is a relaxing and happy experience. Her grandson, Aiden, has also fed the birds. “Now, we are just a regular part of their day.,” Carrigan noted. “It’s just wonderful!”

TRAVEL WITH VICTOR BLOCK
Cassadaga: A town with real spirit
By Victor Block Travel Writer
As my wife Fyllis, our friend Kathy, and I contemplated visiting a tiny town in Florida, the choices were both varied and intriguing. Did we prefer joining a healing meditation circle or seeking spiritual counseling? Would we opt for a séance or class in ancient wisdom teachings? This is how planning for a trip to the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp went. Adding to the appeal was the ironic fact that this destination, focused upon life after death and communicating with those who have entered that realm, is near Walt Disney World, with its wealth of fantasy-land, man-made attractions. Cassadaga was founded by George Colby, a medium, who claimed his “spirit guide” Seneca advised him to establish a spiritual center in Florida. Colby purchased land and, in 1894, incorporated the Southern Cassadaga Spir itualist Camp Meeting Association. The camp — actually a neighborhood-sized
community — sits in the lowlands characteristic of central Florida. Many of its approximately 75 residents are spiritualists of one kind or another. The bookstore and welcome center is the logical place to begin a visit. Its selection of books explores topics ranging from spiritualism and metaphysics to meditation and ghosts. Crystal balls and candles share shelf space with incense, Tibetan singing bowls and fairy statues. This is where people choose their activities and make arrangements. The names and telephone numbers of certified mediums and healers on duty each day are listed on a board. While Fyllis and Kathy headed for sessions with a “Certified Medium, Healer and Teacher,” I met with the Rev. Doctor Louis Gates, who is pastor of Colby Memorial Temple. I wanted to learn about spiritualism, and he was a treasure-trove of knowledge. Gates is very affable and down-to-earth which, I concluded, are perfect traits

for one who serves as both a pastor and a medium/ healer/teacher. Based upon his description of Spiritualism as a combination of religion, philosophy and, among its disciples, science, I found I can relate to a number of its precepts. It is very welcoming, uplifting and supportive, and the overall message is one of love and hope. I understood the principle that people are responsible for themselves and

control their own destiny, but that comes with a bit of potential downside. “Spiritualism is a tough religion,” the Gates explained, “because there’s no one else to blame if things go wrong.” While I was receiving an overview of Spiritualism, Fyllis and Kathy participated in a session with a practitioner. Fyllis came away impressed with a number of the woman’s comments. “I see you traveling a lot for work” fit well with my

ly show themselves to those who believe.” We ended our visit at the Cassadaga Hotel for a snack and look-see. Even there, in the midst of its Victorian setting, guests may arrange for a psychic reading, séance and other services in keeping with the overall purpose of the town. That overriding goal, I concluded, is one with which both believers and any doubters can relate. For example, I suspect many people agree with the inspirational saying on a sign in the hotel: “Forgiveness lifts heaviness from the burdened heart.” On the other hand, skeptics might have less faith in another nearby pronouncement, which reads: “I believe in fairies. I do, I do, I do.” Those who consign themselves to that category of visitor may take heart in the assurance that Cassadaga welcomes “not only believers, but the curious and skeptical as well.”

wife’s role as a travel writer. “You like the outdoor and open space” was in keeping with the her love for hiking through woods. Among other observations were that I am a photographer (I take pictures to illustrate travel stories.), Fyllis’s daughter Ariane “has a good head on her shoulders” (she does) and that Fyllis has something to do with relics (which, I hope, referred to our recent visit to Greek and Roman archaeological sites during a trip to Sicily, rather than to me). On the other hand, some remarks seemed less relevant. For example, Fyllis has no present plans to be in the Pacific Northwest, speak before a large group of people or write a book.

Grand Lake Stream hatchery repaired at last
V. Paul Reynolds If you are a fly fisherman whose passion is casting a line over landlocked salmon across moving water, Grand Lake Stream is the next thing to paradise. Since 1875, the state fish hatchery on the stream has been part of the GLS scene, and the source of salmon that populate the stream and the ad-
joining West Grand Lake. Over the years, the GLS hatchery has produced annually 80,000 catchable brook trout and landlocked salmon. In fact, according to Lisa Kane, a spokesman, for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the GLS hatchery is the source of 75 percent of the landlocked salmon stocked statewide in Maine waters. In November, the state trap nets spawning wild salmon in the lake to take eggs that are then incubated and grown in the hatchery. In the past few years, a number of structural upgrades have been made at
the hatchery. Suddenly, in the summer of 2016, disaster struck. With the surface temperature of the water on the lake hovering near 80 degrees, the hatchery lost 30,000 brook trout fingerlings. The salmon fared better, but some were lost due to the unsuitably warm water being taken from the lake by the hatchery intake pipe. The solution, if this crisis was to be avoided in the future, was to rebuild the intake pipe and extend it two miles into colder water at 52 feet. Four million dollars, from a variety of sources, was allocated for the pipe repair project. It was a major
undertaking that involved moving fish to other locations. Additionally, there were some unhappy anglers as the construction project muddied the stream and made fishing next to impossible. All is well that ends well, however. Kane writes, “Construction of the pipeline began this August and was essentially completed by the end of November. Final grading, seeding and landscaping at the lake shore where the pipe connects with the hatchery line will occur as soon as weather permits in spring 2019. New valves on
the shoreline allow for water temperatures to be blended from ‘shallow’ and ‘deep’ as lake water is gravity fed to a new head box. Other improvements included the replacement of the antiquated UV water treatment system with the latest available modern UV equipment.” It is good to know, come spring, Grand lake Stream will be back to normal. The hatchery will be humming along with colder, more reliable incubation water for our future game fish, and open day anglers will only have to worry about flow levels and a pool that’s not taken. By the way, if you have a
Maine Sportsman’s license plate on your vehicle, take a bow. Your dollars for that plate helped underwrite the cost of the hatchery repair project.

He is also a Maine guide and host of a weekly radio program, “Maine Outdoors,” heard Sundays at 7 p.m. on The Voice of Maine News-Talk Network.

Lisbon native returns to the classroom to give back By Ross Cunningham
Ross Cunningham photo
Doug Herling, president and CEO of Central Maine Power Co., joins Maine author Patty Farrin to read her book, “The Teacup Café,” to pre-K students at Lisbon Community School.
LISBON — The corporate board room and a pre-kindergarten classroom intersected in a very unique way March 26. Doug Herling, Lisbon native and president and CEO of Central Maine Power, took time out of his day to read a story to preschoolers at Lisbon Community School. “For the last 19 years, CMP has donated children’s books to school libraries and municipal libraries across the communities we serve,” said Herling in a letter to the students’ families. The books selected were traditionally Caldecott Award winners. “As the company’s new president and CEO and as a lifelong Mainer, it will be my goal to select work by the talented and hardworking writers and illustrators who choose to call Maine home.” Joining Herling was author Patty Farrin, who has written “The Teacup Café.” The two took turns telling the won-
derful tale of a mother and daughter sharing a cup of tea together and learning about finding the beauty inside of things. As Herling read the story, Farrin showed the beautiful drawings, created by Maine resident Hillary Davis. The four- and fiveyear-old children in teacher Kendra O’Connell’s class listened to the tale and talked with Farrin after the story. She shared her experience finding an old trailer and the beauty inside of it as she restored it. She encouraged them to look for the beauty inside people they meet as well. As a graduate of Lisbon High School, Herling said he found this visit especially rewarding because O’Connell taught Herling’s daughter when she was a student at the Marion T. Morse elementary
school in Lisbon Falls. Lisbon Community School Principal Robert Kahler was honored by not only the visit but also by the gift of autographed books for all the children in the class. “Although the PTO very graciously arranges for a visiting author or artist each year, this was a wonderful added bonus,” he said. It is a CMP tradition that the president visits a class to read each year, emphasizing the importance of reading in everyday life. March is National Reading Month, and Herling’s letter further states “Education is a priority in our giving, and we think this simple but special tradition emphasizes that commitment in a special way for children and Maine families.” “The Teacup Café” is available on Amazon.

Maine woman discusses her near death experience following pneumonia
By Diane Atwood Health Reporter
Dana Scammon nearly died last year. She’s still dealing with the aftermath of what happened. I know her mother Denise and asked if she’d see if Dana would let me interview her for a blog post. I thought there might be some lessons she had learned from her experience that could help someone else. Dana said yes. And then she caught me off guard when she told me about her most important lesson. I’m not quite sure where to begin her story — I think maybe somewhere in the middle. At about 1: 30 a.m. on July 17, 2018, she called her mother because she was having trouble breathing. She’d been under treatment for bronchitis, but Denise was alarmed by how she sounded and called for an ambulance. Dana thought it would be a quick trip to the ER. She had no idea how sick she really was. “When I got there, I was

pretty much unconscious. I had about a dime size amount of air left between both of my lungs. I had pneumonia. They had to pump me full of fluids I was so dehydrated and malnourished. I was really out of it for the first week. I was pretty much in what they used to call a drug-induced coma. Basically, that’s what they had to do to keep me alive. My organs were shutting down so they had to put me on vasopressors, which in a sense, cut off circulation to your legs and your arms and just keep your vital organs alive. That’s how bad the pneumonia was,� said Dana. The infection wasn’t confined to Dana’s lungs. It had spread into her bloodstream and her organs were shutting down because her body was in septic shock. “The night I arrived, doctors told my mother that I probably wouldn’t be alive in the morning. At some point, they asked my parents if they wanted to pull the plug and
my parents said no, don’t, not yet. And within a few hours, I came to,� said Dana. She came to but had a fierce battle ahead of her. The four vasopressors she was on were her only chance of surviving the massive infection. That’s a lot for someone her size. She only weighed about 89 pounds at the time. She was also being treated with IV fluids, antibiotics, and other medications. When she started to “wake up� about a week after she was admitted, Dana still had trouble breathing on her own. “They were saying they wanted to do a tracheostomy and I was stubborn — not realizing I was dying. My mom just looked at me and said you know, this is life or death, it’s yes or no. No, you’re dying. Yes, do this and save your life. And I was literally like a 16-yearold child. I rolled my eyes and said fine. They gave me a tracheostomy so I could breathe. That’s when it hit me — holy s**t, this is real,�
explained Dana. Da na cou ld breat he again, but she wasn’t out of the woods. The vasopressors drastically lowered the blood flow to her extremities, pushing it mainly to her organs, her heart, and her brain to keep them alive. Once she was well enough to be off them, she noticed that her toes began to look as if they were bruised. “It just kept getting worse and worse and worse and my hands, fingertips had a little bit of that as well. But those started to kind of go away, so I figured my feet would too — I was like, come on guys, wake up, but my feet just never, never healed,� said Dana. Because they hadn’t been getting enough blood, all of Dana’s toes developed gangrene. There was nothing that could be done to save them. At first, doctors thought they would need

alance is something we all need to work at and keep finelytuned. That old saying — “Use it or lose it� — certainly holds true when it comes to balance, especially as we age.
Maintaining our balance is particularly important in our senior years because trips and falls can lead to major setbacks, such as resulting in a broken hip, arm or other injury. Many things can inter-
fere with balance, like loss of vision, loss of hearing and the use of new medications. Make sure you and your doctor are aware of your situation and discuss the following methods and exercises, which can help

Otherwise, 600 IU to 800 IU of vitamin D supplementation is sufficient. Foods such as salmon and sardines have great sources of vitamin D as well. 2.

BBB warns of vacational rental, timeshare scams By the Better Business Bureau Most people know that the best travel and vacation deals are found when you finalize your reservations as early as possible. Scammers know this too, and this is likely the reason why since the start of 2019, the Better Business Bureau has received 91 reports on Scam Tracker from across North America, with over $22.6 million lost. In light of this, BBB is warning the public to be wary of travel and vacation scams, particularly those encountered on social media platforms, online popup advertisements and un-
solicited phone calls. Consumers should also be wary of timeshare offers and opportunities to rent or purchase vacation properties. BBB offers these tips to help avoid timeshare and vacation rental scams: Timeshares and vacation rentals are a great way to travel and have the comforts of home. However, scammers love to take advantage of vacationers by making false promises and creating a sense of urgency to fool them into paying for something that doesn’t exist. Con artists post listings for properties that either aren’t for rent, don’t exist, or are significantly differ-
ent than pictured. They then lure in vacationers with the promise of low fees and great amenities. Typically, the “owner� creates a false sense of urgency – maybe another vacationer is interested in the rental – to get you to pay up before doing sufficient research. To avoid this scam, talk with the owner. If you are not using a service that verif ies proper ties and owners, do not negotiate a rental solely by email. Many scammers don’t live locally, so get the owner on the phone and ask detailed questions about the property and local attractions. An owner with vague answers
to your questions is a clear red flag. Investigate on Google or another search engine. Look up the address and use Google Street View to confirm the property matches the one advertised. Also, verify distances to beaches, attractions and airports while on the site. Look for reviews and ask for references. Don’t forget to check bbb.org and other online reviews. Some vacation rental websites provide an opportunity to rate the rental property as well as the owner or property manager. If the property doesn’t have any online reviews, ask for references and call
them. Listen for vague answers, which could indicate the reference is simply a friend of the scammer. Don’t wire money or use a prepaid debit card. You should never pay for a vacation rental by prepaid debit card or wire transfer. These payments are the same as sending cash. Once you send the money, you have no way to get it back. That’s why scammers depend upon these forms of payment. Paying with a credit card is your best bet to avoid being out money because of a shady vacation rental. If your rental ends up being a scam, you can dispute the charge and dramatically

limit your liability. Beware if it seems too good to be true. Scammers lure in targets by guaranteeing sales or promising vacation rentals at low prices. Do your research. If the listing you are considering is much cheaper than others in the area, be suspicious. In general, free online ad services are also going to be more risky than a site with fraud protection features.

to amputate half of at least one foot, but in the end, the surgeon did her best to save what tissue she could. Dana lost most of both big toes, especially on her right foot and about half of all her other toes. She says she used to run 10 miles a day. Post surgery, she couldn’t even walk. She spent 45 days in the hospital and was finally discharged to a rehab facility where she spent two weeks beginning to learn how to walk again. Dana explained, “When I got there I was still using a wheelchair, being pushed around. Then I forced myself to use a walker and it

4. If you are unable or unwilling to join a Tia Chi or yoga class, there are many things you can do in the privacy of your own home. Try some of the following every day several times a day: • Walking on tippy toes. This strengthens your legs and help with balance. • Walk the line. You’ve seen on TV folks being arrested for OUI. The police officer has the indi-
vidual touch their nose as they walk heel-to-toe in a straight line. Try it. It’s not easy, even if you’re sober. You will want to pretend you are walking on a balancing beam and heel-totoe walk in a straight line. Make sure you are close to a wall or the dining room table so that you can grab it if you feel like you are going to tip over. Do this for three minutes, several times a day.
• Practice breathing. What does breathing have to do with balance? A lot. Breathing properly strengthens your body’s core muscles and the core of your body helps control balance. Let’s practice. Slowly breathe in a big breath through your nose and, as you exhale, suck your stomach in and blow it all out. That’s proper breathing and should be done all day long. Nobody
benefits from shallow breathers. • Weight shifting is my favorite for balance. Hold onto a stable structure like a chair, table, the wall or a counter top. Put all your weight on your left leg and take your right foot off the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat on the other side. Don’t forget that breathing exercise; when you lift your foot off the floor you should

was about half and half. I’d hustle and wheel myself somewhere, but then I’d get up and walk. Walk like I was 97 years old.” Walking without toes still isn’t easy, but it’s easier. Dana’s goal is to run again someday. The hardest thing she has to endure is constant pain. “It’s like having a rubber band tied around your toes, trying to squeeze your foot down into a shoe that’s two sizes too small, setting it on fire and having it run over. It’s really that bad. And it’s every second of every day,” said Dana. The pain is because of nerve damage. She takes a medication to dea l with the issue, but takes no other, not even for
the pain — which leads me to the biggest lesson Dana learned, She faced the fact that she had a serious drinking problem and that’s why she got into trouble in the first place. Dana explained, “It’s not that I got sick because of drinking, it was because I was too stubborn to admit I was sick because I didn’t want to go to the hospital. Every year I get bronchitis. This time, I did tell my mom I’d see the doctor. Sure enough they said I had bronchitis, gave me an antibiotic and an inhaler. I thought I was good to go back to drinking, but after a month, my cough and my lungs weren’t feeling any better.” She went back to see the doctor and was told
she needed to go to the hospital. She refused and two weeks later was near death. As her body began to heal from the infection and the amputations, she came to realize that she no longer had the urge to grab her drink of choice, beer. “I hate to say it but I kind of got a twofer. I got really sick and lost my toes, but the medications they gave me for the pneumonia were basically the same medicines they give patients when they go to detox. It was kind of a blessing in a way because I got sober. I can say that I was an alcoholic for sure and it’s just not the same at all. I don’t have a craving, I don’t hide it, it’s not the same. I have nothing to hide anymore,” Dana stated. Nothing to hide anymore, which is why Dana decided to tell her story. The whole story. Maybe someone else with a
drinking problem will read it and turn his or her life around before something drastic happens. “I was just so dumb and drunk all the time that I didn’t care. I only wanted to drink and be happy. I hope people can see that you can get past drinking. I just want them to know that there’s going to be a better day. You may have a really great day and it might backfire and you have a really bad day. You may feel like punching someone or something. It’s going to be a battle, but keep fighting. Things get better, the next day is going to be amazing. Just keep going forward,” said Dana. Dana, who is 38, used to work in the sales department at Turner Publishing in Maine and before that, was in retail, jobs she’s not able to do right now. Determined to move
on with her life and earn a living she has created a website and blog called Liv i ng w it h Da na .com. Among other things, she chronicles her illness in more detail than I have given here. This is an excerpt from her most recent post: “As you can see, I’ve been through hell and fought my way back! Life lesson learned, the hard way! It has made me appreciate the little things in life and I’m grateful for them all! I always knew I was strong, but this just made me stronger! A HUGE price to pay, but I am still here and ready for my new adventures!” For many years, Diane Atwood was the health reporter on WCSH6.

A good question: Does travel really ‘narrow the mind?’ : “I’m now more certain than ever that travel narrows the mind.” It was one of those ironic statements English essayists like Chesterton are always making. You see, we’ve been told travel “broadens” the mind and makes us more tolerant and accepting of other cultures, languages and customs. Travel is not supposed to make us more narrow in our thoughts and beliefs. After reading Chesterton’s opening comment, I had to read more. Chesterton says when he is in his study reading books about the exotic places of the world, he loves learning about the hearty miners or farmers or tradesmen of Asia or Africa or South America and his mind is broadened by this knowledge. He reads and celebrates the family of man, the human race to
John McDonald
When you awoke this morning you probably didn’t think you would be reading a quote from noted English essayist Gilbert K. Chesterton before your day ended, but what can I say? My thoughts of Chesterton came about one recent morning after I checked the kitchen thermometer. I can’t remember what the thermometer said, but it wasn’t nice. It made me want to take a trip to a place where thermometers know how to behave. At about this time, I remembered a quote I once read on the subject of travel. I’m almost certain it was Chesterton who once wrote something like this
which we all belong and he enjoys a feeling of kinship with his brothers and sisters in far off places, who are going about their daily tasks and providing for their families — all that good stuff. Chesterton then cautions that after reading such books and having such universal thoughts, we should think long and hard before we decide to pack up and actually go and visit these noble human beings in those far off and exotic places, because once we go there (wherever it is) and meet these people and engage them in conversation and commerce, they cease to be “universal” and “noble” images in our minds. More than likely, they become obnoxious individuals — often in our face. Anyway, that’s what Chesterton thought. Like I said before, it’s
winter, a time when I start collecting and reading tour books and travel brochures about far-off places where the skies are always blue and sunny, the temperatures never dip below 70, and all the people in the travel pictures are either at the beach or the theater or some fancy restaurant. They’re all smiles like they don’t have a care in the world and their credit card bill will never arrive. I’ve been thinking a lot about tour books lately, and it’s not just because it’s so cold and the oil man comes by the house so often these days the neighbors now think he lives here. No, I’m thinking about tour books a lot lately because I’m supposed to be updating my book “Down the Road a-Piece - A Storytellers Guide to Maine,” — a travel book for the people
here in Maine and our summer visitors. The way I see it now, my travel book will be the kind I’ve always wanted to have handy as I wandered around an unfamiliar place. I’ve already decided my revised tour book will have all kinds of detailed maps. Why? You ask. I’m not sure exactly why. I still have to decide what they’ll be maps of and what colors I’ll use for my colorcoding; the book will have maps showing roads that actually exist (of course), but it will also have maps showing roads I wish existed. This tour book will show all the scenic routes throughout Mane, which you’d expect, but it will also show less scenic routes and some routes in our state that are just plain ugly. My tour book will also
have graphs and charts showing how one thing or another has increased or decreased over the years here in Maine. At this point, I haven’t quite decided what those things should be. Any ideas? In fact, I want to hear from you about any other things you’d like to see in a Maine travel book, because I want this book to be as useful to you as I hope it will be to me. I’ve just begun my editing so all of this might change. I look forward to hearing what you think.

The Healthy Geezer with severe nocturia get up as many as six times a night to go to the bathroom. The International Continence Society defines nocturia as two or more voids at night. Nocturia is more common among seniors than younger people. In a survey taken by the National Sleep Foundation, about two thirds of the adults (55 to 84 years-old) polled reported an urge to go to the bathroom at least several nights a week. There are a variety of reasons for nocturia in older people. First, we produce less of a hormone that helps us retain f luid. Because of this decreased capacity, seniors produce more urine at night. Second, the bladder — a muscular sac — loses its capacity to hold urine. Third, we have more health problems that can affect the bladder.
By Fred Cicetti
Q. I’m a 76-year-old woman, and I have to take a long nap every day because I’m up nights urinating. I know a lot of my contemporaries have the same problem. I’m curious to know how widespread this is. A. First, don’t presume the nightly bathroom trips are insignificant. See a doctor to determine the cause. There are solutions to your problem, but they depend upon a diagnosis. You’re suffering from a very common problem called “nocturia” — the need to urinate at night. Some people
Both men and women get nocturia. Many men suffer from nocturia because of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate. The prostate is a walnutsize organ surrounding the tube (urethra) carrying urine from the bladder and out of your body. BPH is common in men 50 and older. An enlarged prostate may squeeze the urethra, making it hard to urinate. It may cause dribbling after you urinate or a frequent urge to urinate, especially at night. Pelvic organ displacement, menopause and childbirth can cause nocturia in many women. The pelvic floor is a network of muscles, ligaments and other tissues that hold up the pelvic organs — the vagina, rectum, uterus and blad-

der. When this hammocklike network weakens, the organs can slip out of place and create disorders. A woman reaches menopause when a year has passed since her last period. Menopause, like many of the changes in a woman’s body through her lifetime, is caused by changes in hormone levels. Menopause can make it difficult to hold urine.
There are other medical conditions that cause nocturia. These include infection, tumors, heart disease, high blood pressure, liver failure, diabetes and sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is much more common in older adults and men. Apnea is Greek for “without breath.” People with sleep apnea stop breathing for as long as 30 seconds at a time. These interruptions can happen hundreds of
times a night. The breathing cessations may wake you. There are people who overproduce urine at night. This is called “nocturnal polyuria.” It can cause nocturia, too. Other causes of nocturia that are not medical conditions are drinking caffeine, alcohol or too much liquid close to bedtime. In addition, diuretic medications can contribute to the problem.

Spring & Summer SPECTACULAR Go green in your lawn and garden this spring Spring is a season of rejuvenation. As the cold days of winter drift away, spring blooms begin to sprout and grass regains its lush green look. Green is certainly a color that’s synonymous with spring. Gardening enthusiasts can find a way to make spring even more green by embracing several ecofriendly gardening practices as they bring their lawns and gardens back to life in the months to come. • Create a compost pile. Composting is an ecofriendly way to enrich lawns and gardens. Composting helps to conserve water because compost promotes moisture retention in soil, reducing homeowners’ need to water their lawns and gardens while also helping them to save money on their water bills. Composting also helps homeowners avoid the need to use potentially harmful chemical fertilizers because compost is a natural, slow release fertilizer. In addition, according to Canada’s Green Action Centre, compostable materials make up 40 percent of residential waste. So composting can dramatically reduce the amount of waste homeowners ultimately send to landfills. • Replace gas-powered mowers with reel lawn mowers. Reel mowers may seem like relics from simpler times, but today’s reel mowers, while just as eco-friendly as their predecessors, are unlike those
of yesteryear. According to the Planet Natural Research Center, an online resource for organic gardeners, gas-powered engines emit more than 10 times the hydrocarbons per amount of gas burned than auto engines. But reel mowers are fuel-free and less expensive than gas-powered mowers. Planet Natural also notes that reel mowers snip grass like scissors, leaving finer trimmings that can serve as nourishing, weed-deterring mulch for yards. • Water at the right times of day. Homeowners who water their lawns and gardens at the right time of day can help the planet and reduce their energy bills. As spring gradually gives way to summer, temperatures typically rise. Watering during the coolest times of the day means less water will be lost to evaporation, ensuring water-needy soil will get all it needs to help lawns and gardens thrive. Early morning watering before the sun reaches its midday peak and/or evening watering as the sun is setting are typically great
times to water lawns and gardens, rather than when temperatures are at their hottest. • Use a rain barrel. Rain barrels provide another great way to conserve water while tending to lawns and gardens. Rain barrels collect and store rain wa-

homeowners can use water from rain barrels to water their lawns, gardens and houseplants, saving money on their water bills along the way. Spring gardening season
provides a great opportunity for lawn and garden enthusiasts to embrace a variety of eco-friendly practices that can save them money and protect the planet.
