Potluck supper
CARTHAGE – A potluck supper will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the historical society building, followed with a short business meeting. Kevin McShane of New Sharon will show his film telling the story of Mesannie Wilkins. In 1955, after being told by her doctor that she had only two years to live, Mesannie, (Jackass Annie), set out with $32 in pickle money to travel across the country on her horse, Tarzan, accompanied by her dog. After her journey, she told her story in her book, “The Last of The Saddle Tramps.” Since Annie had lived in Minot, Kevin McShane decided to use only local talent and scenery in his film. Annie proved the doctor wrong by living for 20 more years.
CPR course
RUMFORD – Black Mountain of Maine and Med-Care Ambulance will host a course on CPR for Health Care Providers at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, at Black Mountain in the Chisholm Ski Club headquarters building. The class is essential for new and returning ski patrollers. The cost of the class is $40. Peter Phillips, Black Mountain’s director of skiing said “This is a more in-depth version of CPR. The class takes about four hours and provides the starting qualification for the Outdoor Emergency Care course that is hosted in November. Black Mountain will cover 50 percent of the cost of the class for those who go on to become part of the Black Mountain of Maine Patrol Team.” Call Peter Phillips at 364-0882 to register or for more information.
