The Age Friendly Community Initiative recently embarked on an ambitious program to reach out to older adults in our 6-town region. Thanks to the financial support of the Bethel Rotary Club, we sent out packets with a wide variety of items of interest, including wonderful contributions from students at the Eddy School, Telstar Freshman Academy and Gould Academy. We have received a grant from the Maine Community Foundation to continue this outreach through the coming year. If you haven’t received a packet, there are copies available in several area locations (the Bethel Family Health Center, the Bethel Foodliner, the Bethel Library and several other area sites).

REGION On Wednesday and Thursday of last week the Telstar Freshman Academy (TFA) presented their final projects to teachers and other members of the community in a think tank panel forum. The final projects wrapped up the TFA’s unit on innovation, collaboration and communication.
The goal of the projects was to have students come up with solutions to worldwide issues currently plaguing large parts of the world population. This year freshmen tackled issues like global warming, clean water, homelessness and air pollution amongst others.
After being split into groups of two or three people, students focused on the research end of the project before coming up with their solutions.
