MAINE CARVERMAINE CARVERTHETHE
There was a nice gathering at the Annual Meeting this year, held on April 2nd at Rooster’s Restaurant near the Augusta Civic Center. The meeting was led by Gary Sainio, out-going Vice President.
After everyone present introduced themselves, the reports from the Treasurer, Secretary, Show Chairman and Newsletter editor were given and then the installation of the new Offi cers took place. The meeting lasted 30 minutes. Then the fun began! A really great talk/slide show presentation by Andy Rice. If you don’t know Andy, he’s always got a quick comment or come-back. His presentation had us all laughing and we learned what makes him tick. His view of carvers was very funny and insightful. Awesome speaker!

President’s Message
By Norma WingEmail: [email protected]
I am truly honored and humbled to be associated with the amazing collection of talent that makes up The Maine Wood Carver Association membership.
Together, we have the opportunity to build an even stronger organization by capitalizing on our past accomplishments and recognizing the opportunities that are before us. I look to the next two years knowing that my predecessors have set very high standards of leadership. They have demonstrated exceptional vision and a tremendous determination to make the Association a more valuable part of its members’ lives. We owe them all a great deal of gratitude. Similarly, other Board members and Chapter Representatives who have served for the last two years deserve thanks as well. Although I can’t name them all here, I would like to acknowledge the contributions of the Offi cers who completed their terms this year:
Charles R. Friis, President Gary Sainio, Vice President Kathy Webster, Secretery Wilma Sarna, Treasurer Robert Perry, Past Pres and Director-at-Large Carol Durgin, Director-at-Large
We will continue to rely on the invaluable contributions of of all our members who have given generously of themselves, making possible the Association’s many activities. As president, I want you to know your efforts are recognized and appreciated. One of our goals is to make your membership more valuable and we are constantly adding to our workshops and seminars. Please review this newsletter and our website, www.mainewoodcarvers.org, for more information on our activities. Again, I want to thank all of you and encourage your involvement in Maine Wood Carvers Association. I look forward to sharing my vision of the Association with you in future issues of the Maine Carver, and I welcome your suggestions and feedback. We can only speculate on what the future holds, but I’m confi dent that the founders of the Association would be impressed if they could see what we’ve accomplished and what’s in store for the future.

Meeting on April 6th at Vienna Community Center started at 6:00 p.m. We had eleven adults and three youth in attendance. We worked on our display for our booth at the Armory in Augusta. Several people worked on painting the herons that they fi nished with instructions from Kathy. Some of us were still carving our herons, some worked on little toads and one person worked on a shore bird. All the people that Ed Beach signed up to spend four hour shifts at the Maine Sportsman Show showed up. There was a steady fl ow of people checking out the carvings and asking questions of the demonstrators. At the show, Norma got a 1st for her Red Fox Pup and Kathy got a 1st for her Old Squaw. At the Annual Meeting at Rooster’s Restaurant the elected offi cers were introduced. Norma Wing was elected President. Congratulations, Norma. Kathy brought her Antique Teal that she is entering at the World’s. She did an excellent job on it. Meeting on April 20th started at 6:00 p.m. We had eight adults in attendance. Five people continued to paint their herons with Kathy’s instruction and are going along fi ne. Two of us are still working on carving our herons. Ed worked on a duck head. Nothing else going on, meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

Chapter meetings are open to all MWCA members (regardless of chapter affi liation) and the public. Attending other chapter meetings is a good way to meet other MWCA members and exchange ideas. Coastal Carvers Submitted by Karen Knowles
Coastal Carvers are back at D&L Printers making lots of chips.We held a meeting, then had show and tell.We still have members creating those whimsical bark houses, once you’ve done one you just can’t wait to try your next creation. Carol, Wilma, Gordon and Gary all showed their houses, Jim had a belamy eagle and some gnomes, Richard had done a Canada goose club duck, and Andy shared his full size pintail, miniature hooded merganser, widgeon drake, canvasback and stylized pintail. We then enjoyed refreshments and got right to work, everyone carving on their own individual projects. Please note next month we will NOT be meeting on the 4th Saturday because its Memorial weekend. We will meet on the third Saturday, May 21 at 1pm. Please bring the projects you’ve carved over the past few months we will discuss the Show in August. Happy carving,

The Top of Maine Carvers
Submitted by AnnetteTardy
Hello Everyone! The Top of Maine Carvers meet every last Thursday of the month @ 6:00 p.m. at the Artist Nook on Summit Street and all are welcome to join us. We are busy making plans for our July 29, 30 and 31 Woodcarving Competition & Show to be held at the Northern Maine Fairgrounds in the Forestry Building. So mark your calendars. We will be providing more information as it gets closer to competition time. The rest of the crew are working on their individual carvings and trying to get their projects fi nished for the upcoming show. Here’s a sneak preview of one carving. Margaret carved this clipper ship and it came out so nice we had to share it with everyone.
Heather just fi nished an Easter Rabbit complete with bunny tail. Galen is working on a Lesser Yellow-Legged shorebird that is coming out great. And Natalia has been bringing Freddie to the meetings so I think she just might fi nish him. He’s this big beautiful eagle that she started some time ago and is still working away on him. I call him Freddie because he’s really cute…Natalia knows I am just teasing her…she does really nice work. Elizabeth (Tom’s apprentice and granddaughter)
is a traveling gal these days. She will be going to Tennessee as one member of her school’s team for Destination Imagination (DI). She and other teammates will be competing there at the world level with students from all over the world. Elizabeth’s team took fi rst place for the State of Maine in their division. The project that they worked on to win was done as a pop-up book that the kids stood in and demonstrated the life cycle of a butterfl y. The design for the project was made primarily of wood and cardboard. Their theme was the Energy Cycle They also won a De Vinci Award for innovation at the regional level of competition. We are all very proud of these kids. It will be an exciting time for all. Tom has designed and hand carved pins that the students will use to trade at the competition with other team students from other schools and countries. (Collecting pins is a big thing there as it provides a way for students to get to know each other better) Tom has created State of Maine pins with different animal tracks wood burned on the pin, as well as lobster buoys, and lobster boats. The buoys and boat are part of a set of six with the student needing to collect at least 5 buoys and 1 boat to complete their set. Who ever said that education wasn’t fun…what an experience these children will have. Tom will also be doing some traveling of his own. Tom has been invited to teach two classes at the Fiber College of Maine in Searsport to be held September 8-11. One class will be woodblock printing on fabric for the quilters and the other class will be on wood spirits and walking sticks. As for The Top of Maine Carvers………we have accepted an invitation to put on a woodcarving demonstration at this year’s Potato Blossom Festival in Fort Fairfi eld. We are looking forward to it. Everyone is pretty busy right now…we never seem to run out of ideas and are growing all the time…never a dull moment! We will try to keep everyone informed of the upcoming carving show in July as we have more details. Promise! Promise!! Have a Happy and Safe Memorial Day!!

Merrimack veteran Robert R. Therrien is a man who enjoys a relaxing game of golf. Few know of his Army experiences in Vietnam with Nashua’s Bravo Battery, Third Battalion, 197th Artillery. Few know of his award of an Army Commendation Medal for heroism and a Purple Heart
medal. He also is a winner of two Bronze Stars for meritorious conduct - and he still carries shrapnel in one of his legs. Nontheless, friends, relatives and some recently informed coworkers are sure to be among those present when Therrien is honored for his service to his country at a ceremony 2 p.m. Sunday, April 3, at Nashua’s VFW Post 483 at 2 Quincy St. There, Therrien will be presented with a hand-crafted wooden cane topped with the intricately carved head of an eagle. The cane is part of the Eagle Cane Project, a collaborative effort originating in Oklahoma that was adopted in 2008 by the Maine Wood Carvers Association and a similar group, Maine Woodturners. George Roy Jr. carved the eagle’s fi nely feathered head. Other components of the cane were executed by woodcarvers Burt Truman and Brian Libby. Roy is the stepfather of Nashua resident Brian McPherson - a longtime friend of Therrien’s and instigator of the plan to recognize Therrien’s service to his country. Therrien, an estimator with LeClair Roofi ng & Weatherproofi ng in Tewksbury, Mass., said that during his tour in Vietnam in 1968-69 - with four months left in-country - he was a staff sergeant E-6 in charge of a self-propelled 155mm howitzer section at Fire Support Base Washington. Therrien’s unit most often was attacked at night by Vietcong enemies who could creep undetected through the jungle if it was dark. “It was about 2 a.m. when rounds started coming in and the one that got me in the legs went off - maybe 10 feet away. I wrapped by legs up best I could and stayed with my unit. Our radio operator was hit, too. Eventually, we were both ordered to leave. But the enemy got to within 8 feet of getting inside the fi re support base. I returned in the morning on an ammo truck, to fi ne 250 enemy dead outside the perimeter.” Offi cial paperwork - signed by George L. Mabry, Jr., major general, U.S. Army chief of staff - informing Therrien of the Army’s intent to bestow upon him the Army Commendation Medal with a “V” designation for “Valor” offered this reason: “For heroism in connection with military operations against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam.” The communication continues: “Staff Sgt. Therrien distinguished himself by valorous actions on the night of 19 June 1969 while serving as chief of a howitzer section at Fire Support Base Washington. When the enemy launched an intense mortar and rocket attack, Sgt. Therrien sustained wounds in both legs during the initial volley. He refused to seek medical aid, remaining in the howitzer section to supervise his men and direct the delivery of a devastating barrage on the hostile ground attack. He remained at his position until fi nally ordered to the aid station. Staff Sgt. Therrien’s heroic actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and refl ect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.” Therrien’s friend McPherson, who learned the trade of estimating under Therrien’s tutelage, now works as an estimator and project manager for S.R. Services’ commercial roofi ng division in Dracut, Mass. He found out little by little, over the years of their acquaintance, some of the details of Therrien’s adventures in Vietnam. Eventually, McPherson urged Therrien to explore some of the many services offered to veterans by the Manchester Veterans Administration Medical Center. The inquiries led Therrien - some 40 years after his discharge from the Army - to fi le papers that led to his receiving in his mail box his long-ago awarded Purple Heart medal. His name is engrave on the reverse. It is American’s oldest decoration for military merit, one established by George Washington. The original award, a purple silk “Badge for Military Merit,” was reintroduced in 1932 as the heart-shaped, purple enamel medal known today. McPherson will present the Eagle Cane to Therrien at the upcoming cememony at the VFW. He said he looks forward to any opportunity to honor a veteran’s service, whether it be that of his friend - or any who served so well. Therrien said he was surprised to be the focus of an event as auspicious as the Eagle Cane presentation. He said that he and thousands of other men and women who served in Viet-nam were just doing their duty to the best of their ability. “You do what you have to do,” Therrien said. “I’m lucky I came home.”

My Friend Tom
Tom Foley, one of the founders of the Association, passed away on Wednesday April 13th. Everyone who met Tom was enchanted by his wit and friendliness. Betty (Tom’s wife of 56 years) supported Tom in all his endeavors; which
included fl y fi shing, carving, painting wildlife, photography and writing literature and poems. ...And of course being of Irish decent he loved to sing and had a truely wonderful voice. Tom was buried with full military honors as he was a Marine and Korean Veteran. I’m going to miss you, Tom. Chuck Friis

Bird CollectionMaine Wood Carvers Association now has American Robin, Pine Siskin, Philadelphia Warbler and White-winged Crossbill mounts. If members fi nd a bird specimen that we do not have in our collection, wrap JUST THE LEGS/FEET in a wet paper towel, place the specimen in a plastic bag and remove as much air as possible from the bag before freezing. If you have a vacuum sealer, that works even better!. Then let me know you have the specimen, and I’ll arrange for a pick-up. Freezer burned specimens cannot be made into mounts.

Celtic Tree AstrologyWillow - The Observer
April 15 - May 12
If you are a Willow sign, you are ruled by the moon, and so your personality holds hands with many of the mystical aspects of the lunar realm. This means you are highly creative, intuitive (highly psychic people are born under the sign of the Willow) and intelligent. You have a keen understanding of cycles, and you inherently know that every situation has a season. This gives you a realistic perspective of things, and also causes you to be more patient than most tree signs. With your intelligence comes a natural ability to retain knowledge and you often impress your company with the ability to expound on subjects from memory. Willow Celtic tree astrology signs are bursting with potential, but have a tendency to hold themselves back for fear of appearing fl amboyant or overindulgent. It is your powers of perception that ultimately allow your true nature to shine, and what leads you to success in life. Willow signs join well with the Birch and the Ivy.
