Wagner School Donation
Students at the Wagner Middle School in Winterport sold candy canes this fall to raise money for the Eastern Maine Medical Center’s new Lafayette Cancer Care Center and research facility in Brewer. Sponsored by the Student Council, the fund-drive raised $275 by selling more than 500 candy canes. Aaron Newland, second from right, Council President, and Kierra Speed, member of the Council, presented the results of the fund drive to Town Councilor Joe Books, left, and Winterport State Rep. Mike Thibodeau Tuesday, Dec. 22. (Photo by Stacy Thibodeau) |

Winterport Family Needs Your Help
Gabriel Allen was in a collision with a car in San Francisco at Duboce and Divisadero. He is in ICU at SF General, the #1 trauma hospital in the Bay Area.
First words from Mike the Dad
I see Gabe progressing each day..sometimes just a little. But I see him fighting this all the time. A strong man made this strong in part by all those that touch his life.So many people, so many good thoughts and prayers. I am so fortunate to have a son with so many true friends pulling for him. A big hug from big me to each and every one of you. I wish I had all your names so I could hold Gabe’s hand and tell him about every one of you. Lets hope for another good day tomorrow....

This is going out to Gabe’s humongous support community. If Gabe heads back to the East Coast in the next couple of weeks he is going to need a medical air ambulance. This cannot be Angel Flight because he will still be on a stretcher. So anybody out there with contacts in the Air Ambulance industry? They also need donations to help the family who have helped Winterport so much.
