JOKE OF THE WEEK
SUBMITTED BY KITTY ELLISON
     A husband, proving to his wife that women talk more than men, showed her a study which indicated that men use about 15,000 words a day, whereas women use 30,000 words a day.
     She thought about this, and then told her husband that women use twice as many words as men because they have to repeat everything they say.
     Looking stunned, he said, "What?"

BROWNVILLE NEWS
MUCH LOVED BUS DRIVER RETIRES
BY LYNN WESTON
     Brownville Elementary staff, students and invited guests surprised their longtime friend, custodian and bus driver Vernon Bain at a retirement party in his honor. Vern is retiring at the end of this school year and will be greatly missed by all the Brownville students and parents on his bus route. He was so familiar with the area kids and families that he often knew where to take kids even when they didn_t know themselves.
     Vern was treated to special songs and poems created with him in mind. He also received gifts and tributes by friends and staff members. Vern shared some comical stories and memories about his time driving a bus in SAD 41. We all wish Vern well in his well-deserved retirement.

LOCAL MAN WINS TICKETS TO CONCERT
BY VALERIE ROBERTSON
     Eli Zwicker, a lifelong resident of Brownville Jct., was jubilant Thursday night after winning two free tickets to a Bob Dylan concert. He was seen dancing at the Milo Farmers Union and was heard singing a soulful rendition of one of Dylan’s classics-“Hurricane”.
     Mr. Zwicker won the tickets by being the fifth caller to a local radio station. Because Eli spent his teen years in the early ‘70’s, he is very familiar with Mr. Dylan and his music.
     The concert is to be held in early August in Augusta. Take it from someone who has seen Bob Dylan in concert…Eli is in for it, I mean in for a treat.

St. John's Episcopal Church news

Traditions of a Milo-ite
By Kathy Witham
     AARRGGHH!!!!!!!! I just heard the news that the Frosty Bite isn’t going to open this summer. This is devastating news! The words floored me! No Frosty Bite? How can that be? This time-honored tradition of all Milo-ites is being broken. How sad does it have to get folks? The Creamy Freeze or Frosty Bite or Libby’s or whatever you call it has been around forever, and I can hardly bear the thought of it not opening this summer.
     Dottie Trask put her children through college running that place. The little drive-up restaurant has made hundreds of clam baskets, hamburgers and hotdogs, toasted tuna rolls, french fries and onion rings. Thousands of creamy freeze ice creams have been twisted out of its machines. Hundreds of pounds of peanuts have been ground for toppings on hot fudge sundaes…”do you want whipped cream on that? How about a cherry?” Is it not the saddest news in Milo’s culinary business history that you’ve heard since the closing of Val’s?
     What shall we do? So many questions to ask….but of who? You can’t blame the present owner. She’s tried for years to sell it. She doesn’t even live in Milo – and so her knowledge of how we old-timers would feel about its closing would be limited. She’s got to make a living at running the place: and it, like so many other of Milo’s beloved businesses, has absolutely gone the way of high taxes, lack of manpower and probably way more work than it’s worth to her.
     But the Frosty Bite, folks!!!! It was a destination for many strolling adults and a multitude of bike peddling youngsters for as long as I can remember. For years it was a little turquoise and white building with sliding windows. When you went to the window a pretty teenager would come and take your order. If you were going just for an ice cream they’d fix it while you stood there. If you were getting a meal, you went back to your car and they’d yell out the window when your order was done. There was nothing better than getting a hamburger basket and a coffee milkshake. If I remember correctly, over the years they tried a number of different methods of taking orders and serving them, from waiters on roller skates to little clip on trays that attached to the side of your car at the window. All of those ideas were great and leant themselves to the ambiance of the place.
     Sitting out front at a picnic table with a bunch of your friends and watching for your secret heartthrob to ride by was time honored. In the 60’s the loop was from the fire station to the Farmer’s Union parking lot…now the parking lot at Trask’s and AMB Video. The loop would extend in the summer, however, to include a trip past the Frosty Bite. We’d drive through the cemetery to get back to the other side of town. There were no big parking lots up on the outer Park Street end of town. Gee, I’d forgotten that! There was no Barco (Maine Savings) parking lot and no JSI parking lot . There’s always been a Farmer’s Union parking lot….but as I said, it was at the foot of the hill.
     The memories are too painful to even think about anymore. What will we do? What will we do? You can salve yourselves slightly, but only slightly, with the following recipe:

Light Batter
3/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup flour

Mrs. Carter’s Class
BY KELSEY OTTMANN AND RICHIE RUSSELL
     On Monday, Mrs. Carter’s class is taking a trip to Bar Harbor. The students will visit Thompson Park, where they will explore the seashore. They will then go to the oceanarium to learn more about the ocean and sea creatures. Lunch will find the 2nd and 3rd graders on Cadillac Mountain enjoying a picnic lunch and the amazing view! Heather Michaud was named Terrific Kid. “Heather always does what is expected, willingly takes work home, and follows all the classroom rules,” says Mrs. Carter.
Miss K’s Kids
     The Classified Ads in The Bangor Daily were studied. Each student had $5000 to spend on items that they need and/or wanted. Great bargains were found. It was very exciting to find who could spend the money without going over the budgeted amount. Eric Buchak was named the Terrific Kid. Eric is terrific every week. He often goes above and beyond the goals that the class sets. Eric has a wonderful attitude and works hard every day. He was especially proud this week when he brought his Aunt Sue for Show and Tell. Aunt Sue was visiting from Oklahoma. She answered lots of questions, did a few imitations and talked about tornadoes. Thank you Eric.

The Sun
     We take the sun for granted, and why shouldn’t we. It rises every morning giving light to the world. It seems to be one constant we can depend on in an ever-changing world. This week’s article is to shed a little ‘light’ on the sun so maybe we can appreciate it a little more and not take it for granted.
     The sun makes up 99% of the matter in the solar system. It is 864,000 miles in diameter. It is composed of 80% hydrogen, a lesser amount of helium and traces of many other elements. It weighs about 300,000 times as much as the earth. Though it can get very warm in the sun, the earth receives only one billionth of the sun's energy. The rest flies off into space with only a small portion being picked up by the other planets.
     The sun is composed of gases, but near the center the gases are so compressed they form a fourth state of matter called plasma. In the center is the core where fusion takes place. The temperature here is 25,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Fusion is the process where four Hydrogen atoms are pushed together to form one Helium atom. In the process a small amount of matter is converted to energy which radiates out from the sun. In case you are wondering, there is enough Hydrogen in the sun to keep it going at its present rate for at least another 5 billion years.
     Around the core is the convection zone where material is constantly being exchanged between the core and the photosphere. The photosphere is the part of the sun we see. Outside the photosphere is the chromosphere that radiates the ultraviolet light used by bees and other insects for navigation. Beyond the chromosphere is the corona. This layer extends great distances out from the sun but isn’t seen because the sun blocks its glow. The only time the corona is seen is during a total eclipse.
     The sun rotates just like the earth. It rotates left of right in our vision. Since it isn’t solid it doesn’t all rotate at the same speed. Around the equator of the sun it takes 25 days and at the poles it takes 27 days.

     Probably the most famous of the structures found on the surface of the sun are the sunspots. These are storms on the sun appearing in pairs of opposite magnetic fields. They always occur within 40 degrees of the sun’s equator and last between one and two weeks. The abundance of sunspots rises and falls in an eleven-year cycle. We just passed what is known as a maximum and have started toward a minimum. Sunspots appear small through a telescope, but they are large and one in 1947 was measured at 5 billion square miles! Sunspots are cool- only 8000 degrees Fahrenheit when compared to the rest of the surface that is around 3,000,000 degrees. If you would like to know the number of sunspot currently on the sun check it out at www.sunspotcycle.com.
     At the solar maximum, an interesting thing occurs. The North and South magnetic pole change places. Can you imagine how confusing it would be if it happened on Earth. It is at the solar maximum that the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis are the brightest. The sunspots send out solar flares containing ionized particles. These particles travel at 2,250,000 miles an hour. If they come in the Earth’s direction, they hit its magnetic field and cause the Aurora and radio and television disruption.
     NASA sent up a space probe called Genesis last summer. It is supposed to measure the solar wind that streaks out from the sun all the time. A special collector is designed to trap between 10 and 20 micrograms of material over a period of two years. That is only .00000004 ounces! After two years of collecting the space probe is returning to earth in 2004. It is programmed to arrive and land by parachute. Because they fear damage if it hits the ground hard, NASA has specially trained Army Helicopters that are supposed to snag it before it lands. This is supposed to prevent contamination. Maybe we will be allowed to see pictures of this material. I’m sure it won’t be as interesting to us at moon rocks, but I am sure it will help scientists better understand the solar system.

THREE RIVERS KIWANIS NEWS

CHILDREN: PRIORITY ONE

REGULAR MEETING
     The Three Rivers Kiwanis Club meets at Angie’s Restaurant each Wednesday morning at 6:30 to eat breakfast, enjoy fellowship, hear speakers on various interesting topics, and to share ideas. All are welcome to visit with us. If you would like to join our organization, please contact Janet Richards or any other Kiwanian for an application. We are involved in many worthwhile local projects and would be very pleased to have you participate in them.

MEETING NOTES JUNE 5
BY JANET RICHARDS, SECRETARY
     This week’s meeting began with twenty-three members present. Joining us was past Key Club treasurer and Senior Lindsay Hamlin and Key Club member Kate Hamlin.
     Three Key Club members Lacy, Amanda, and Chris, planted flowers at the high school in time for graduation. Four Key Clubbers are helping and walking, this weekend, in the Make-A-Wish walk in Bangor. The Key Club had an interclub to Dexter and we were very saddened to learn that one of Dexter's Key Club members had recently passed away. Savannah Warren was a senior and a past Key Club president. Our sincere condolences go out to the folks who knew and loved her.
     A duplexer is needed if we purchase the school’s printer for the Kiwanis newspaper. This item will be taken up at the next Kiwanis board meeting.
     The Town Hall stage has been supported and the underneath has been organized, thanks to a big effort by Jane and R.J. Jones. A clavinova has been ordered (electric piano) and more chairs too.
     Letters have gone out to the area businesses for donations for the Kiwanis Auction. Val Robertson has a good idea to have a book mobile at the auction.
     Happy & Sad dollars totaled fifteen this week. A couple of them were for Roy Bither going to Vinal Haven for the summer and a few for the girls softball and boys baseball teams victories.
     Joe Zamboni will be one of the upcoming speakers explaining the Evidence Response Team and Sheena Lundin will speak to us about Volunteer Services.
     Joe Zamboni spoke to us today about his exciting trip to Italy. Joe's dad, Joe Sr. was sent back to Italy in 1917 to live with relatives after his parents died of influenza. Joe has always wanted to go and see Italy and meet his long lost relatives who still reside there. He and his brother Jeff, in the summer of 1998, ventured to do just that. Through correspondence, they had some idea of where their relatives lived. They flew to Rome and from there they started exploring, camping, visiting, and photographing. Camping areas are very common and accommodating in Italy. Restaurants and hot showers for sure. They visited the Leaning Tower of Piazza, French Riviera, Venice, St. Marks Plaza, Florence, Michelangelo's Park, Pom Pei, Rome, Arch of Constantine, Vatican, and the list could go on. His relatives were very glad to see them. They took them in, fed them and best of all, Joe got to see were his father grew up. The home was located on the Swiss Border and looked out on the Swiss Alps. Breath-taking! Joe found, through pictures, that he looks similar to his great grandfather and that Zamboni is not a common name there. Joe showed some beautiful slides of all the places he visited. The artwork, the many beautiful churches, the old cities and the incredible scenery certainly was intriguing. I'm ready to go! Thank you Joe for sharing.
