Centenarian wants a ride in a 1929 packard
On Oct. 8, she will be 100 years old and she'd love to have a chance to ride around Canton in another 1929 Packard.
Shelly Harlow, director of Victorian Villa where Thibault has resided since July 2000, is looking for someone who would be willing to provide that ride for Thibault on Thursday around 2 p.m.
“We try to do something very big for those turning 100,” Harlow said. In the past, a garden was planted for one of the residents, who died just short of his 100th birthday.
According to information provided by Victorian Villa, Thibault was born on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, lived in Boston, then married Felix Thibault who has roots in the Rumford area. He is now deceased. She had lived in Rumford for many years before moving to the nursing home.
Thibault is an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan.
Harlow said Thibault's favorite food, scallops wrapped in bacon, will be served on her birthday.
Anyone who would provide a ride for Thibault in a 1929 Packard is asked to call Harlow at 597-2510, ext. 181.

This is an important start to resurrecting the fishery in the Gulf of Maine. The article does not mention how corrupted the natural flows of the Kennebec River watershed are. Timing and amounts of flow volume has been greatly changed over the last 40 years. Storage lakes at the headwaters and ponds feeding the Kennebec are now keep full all spring, summer, and into late fall. Many ponds are not drawn down at all like they historically were. China Lake is a good example. This change in flows upsets migrational cues among other impacts. It is very easy to screen off turbines so the young salmon do not become minced by the blades and build working fishways. We need leadership in Augusta who want to restore a once great industry.

The Democrat sacrament is envy, or class warfare.
I propose as captain of this lunar expedition our very own moonbat-in-chief, BHO; and as executive officer, of course, Joe "foot-in-mouth" Biden. Lift-off is set for 1/20/13.
Decoteau's letter proves that the full moon exaggerates lunacy.

Ronald, If you have not
Ronald,
If you have not noticed, everything I’ve listed is a growth in the size of government, a growth in government spending or a program in crisis.
A tax cut does not belong in that list. While a tax cut may grow the size of the national debt, a tax cut does not necessarily grow the size of government nor does it increase spending.
Moreover, you selectively forgot to add your favorites, Bill Clinton and Obama, to your list of tax cutting presidents. Any reason why? Maybe your Cuban pharmacist is giving you placeboes!
