MARS HILL NEWS
by Tomi Henderson
The Mars Hill Rotary Club met on Tuesday morning, February 1 at 6:30. Members discussed upcoming events and ideas for local service projects.
Rotarian Rhonda Orser told of going to the Northern Maine Regional Airport in Presque Isle for the arrival of one of the planes bringing the biathletes to the area. Lois Belyea was also there with her daughter and son-in-law, Julie and Jay Boyd, and other family members. Lois was very pleased to greet the co-pilot, who is her grandson, Daniel Fruciano, of Miami, Fla.
Rotarian Roger Shaw told of going with a group of students to visit a bear den with Dave Hentosh and a group of state biologists. They measured three bears — a mother and two yearlings. The same bear was checked last year, when she had three cubs. It isn’t unusual for the male cubs to die in their first year.
