Lisbon Students Recognized for Excellence in Art 

Youth Art Month has 

been nationally observed 

during the month of 

March for the past 36 

years. The Maine Art 

Education Association is 

pleased to work with the 

Portland Museum of Art 

(PMA) and the Maine 

Education Association in 

presenting exhibitions of 

exceptional K-12 student 

artwork from all over 

the state. These exhibits 

reflect the important 

role that art programs 

fulfill in our schools, by 

teaching students the 

complexities of visual 

expression. MAEA 

would like to recognize 

the dedication of their art 

teachers and the support 

and encouragement of 

the students’ parents, 

guardians, family, friends, 

and school administration. 

“Lisbon High School 

(LHS) is proud to 

announce two studentartists 

selected to exhibit 

in these statewide 

exhibits,” shares LHS art 

teacher, Pam Ouellette. 

“Senior, Hannah Stritch 

will be exhibiting her 

mixed media piece titled 

“Cora’s Letter” in the 

Portland Museum of 

Art. The PMA opening 

for this exhibit will be 

held on Saturday, March 

7th, 4-7pm. Sophomore, 

Adrienne Bolton, will 

be exhibiting her mixed 

media photogram, “Cat 

Walk” at the MEA YAM

Healthy Bones and Calcium Sources 

as I lay out a crash course 

in bone health. 

According to a study 

performed by the American 

College of Nutrition 

only 16% of women between 

the age of 20 and 

29 get the recommended 

amount of calcium in their 

diet. Healthcare professionals 

encourage calcium 

sources or supplements if 

you are female and especially 

if you are a female 

over the age of 40 years 

old. 

Females are at a higher 

risk for osteoporosis than 

their male counterparts for 

many reasons. Most women 

have smaller bones and 

less muscle mass than 

men and the difference in 

hormones play a role in 

calcium needs as well. 

Here are some examples 

of calcium rich 

choices that you can make 

to increase your calcium 

intake: 

Dairy products such as 

milk, cheese and yogurts 

are the obvious choices 

White beans, sardines, 

canned salmon – my favorite, 

make sure you eat 

the edible bones in canned 

salmon as that is the greatest 

source of calcium you 

can get. Dried figs, blackstrap 

molasses, kale and 

spinach, black-eyed peas, 

almonds and almond milk, 

oranges, turnip greens and 

beet greens, sesame seeds, 

seaweed, soymilk and 

firm tofu. 

Now that we have covered 

calcium, don’t forget 

your Vitamin D. You’ll 

need vitamin D to absorb 

the calcium you put into 

your body. They go hand 

and hand. You can get 

vitamin D through fortified 

foods such as orange 

juice and many cereals, 

just read the label to see if 

it says fortified with Vitamin 

D. 

Vitamin D also comes 

from sunlight and can be 

found as a supplement. 

If using supplements for 

calcium and or Vitamin 

D try to find a source 

that you can either drink 

or eat. Many companies 

offer chewable vitamins 

which tend to have a higher 

absorption rate. Shop 

around. 

The third topic on bone 

health includes exercise. 

Resistance exercise along 

with healthy eating helps 

maintain bone health. So 

what is resistance training? 

Resistant training is 

weight bearing exercises 

but that doesn’t mean you 

have to start pumping 

iron. There are many other 

forms of weight bearing 

exercises. Walking is one 

of them and is great for 

bone strength and overall 

health. Pilates and even 

yoga can be weight bearing 

and great for bone 

health. Experiment with 

exercise and hopefully 

you will grow to love one 

of these types of exercise 

so that you can stick to 

it on a regular basis and

Tax Free Roth IRA Conversions 

Moving money from 

a tax deferred retirement 

account to a potentially 

tax-free Roth IRA usually 

will trigger income tax. 

That won't always be the 

case, though, thanks to recent 

IRS announcements. 

Some examples show how 

this can work. 

Example 1: Nancy 

Martin has participated in 

her company's 401(k) plan 

for many years. She typically 

has made maximum 

pretax contributions to the 

plan. Nancy's company allows 

employees to make 

additional aftertax contributions 

(many employers 

do), which she has done. 

Nancy decides to leave 

the company at a time 

when she has $600,000 

in the 401(k), including 

$100,000 from aftertax 

contributions. 

Thanks to an IRS notice 

published in September 

(IRS Notice 2014-54), 

Nancy can have her plan 

administrator transfer 

$100,000 of aftertax money 

to a Roth IRA. Because 

this is aftertax money, 

Nancy won't owe tax on 

the transfer. Inside her 

Roth IRA, untaxed growth 

can continue. 

Once Nancy has met the 

five year and age 59½ requirements, 

she can withdraw 

as much or as little 

from the Roth IRA as she 

wishes without owing any 

tax. 

In order to qualify for 

this tax treatment, Nancy's 

Roth IRA transfer must 

be part of a distribution to 

two or more retirement accounts. 

Thus, she can send 

$100,000 to a Roth IRA 

and the other $500,000 to 

a traditional IRA. Nancy 

won't owe any tax on these 

transfers. However, her 

$500,000 traditional IRA 

(and any future earnings) 

will remain pretax. Nancy 

will owe tax on any withdrawals 

from that traditional 

IRA or any future 

conversion to a Roth IRA. 

Beyond 401(k)s, this 

strategy can be executed 

by taxpayers with aftertax 

money in other types of 

employer sponsored qualified 

plans. 

IRA implications 

What if Nancy already 

had rolled her $600,000 

to a traditional IRA? In 

that case, any distributions 

from that account— 

including those for a 

Roth IRA conversion— 

would be considered a 

mix of aftertax and pretax 

money. If Nancy had 

$600,000 in a traditional 

IRA, with $100,000 of 

aftertax money, for instance, 

a $150,000 Roth 

IRA conversion would be 

considered $125,000 (5/6) 

taxable and $25,000 (1/6) 

untaxed. 

Nevertheless, there can 

be a way to execute a taxfree 

Roth conversion in 

that situation. 

Example 2: Assume that 

Nancy leaves the company 

and rolls her $600,000 

401(k) balance to a traditional 

IRA. Currently, that 

IRA has the same balance, 

including $100,000 of aftertax 

money. Nancy has 

just accepted a new job 

with a company that sponsors 

a 401(k) plan for its 

employees. 

In this situation, Nancy 

can roll her $500,000 of 

pretax money into the new 

company's 401(k) plan and 

then convert the aftertax 

$100,000 to a Roth IRA. 

Again, she'll owe no tax on 

either move and she'll have 

$100,000 in a potentially 

tax-free Roth IRA. 

That tactic has been possible 

in the past but not always 

practical: many employer 

plan administrators 

were reluctant to accept 

such rollovers from IRAs 

into a company retirement 

plan because the IRS had 

not explained how such 

transactions should be 

handled. 

That changed last year 

when the IRS published 

Revenue Ruling 2014- 

9, setting out the ground 

rules. Now, Nancy can 

have the custodian of her 

traditional IRA transfer up 

to $500,000 of her pretax 

money to the new company's 

plan. Nancy also 

has to submit a statement 

to the administrator of the 

new plan, certifying that 

this rollover is all pretax 

money. Following Rev. 

Rul. 2014-9, company 

plans are likely to accept 

such rollovers from traditional 

IRAs.

Webber 

One of the more common 

wage and hour 

violations seen by the 

Department of Labor is illegal 

wage deductions and 

failure to pay employees 

when their employment 

ends. The law that applies 

to deductions from checks 

is 26 M.R.S.A. § 626. 

According to the law, an 

employee leaving employment 

must be paid in full 

within a reasonable time 

after demand at the office 

of the employer where 

payrolls are kept and wages 

are paid...and any loan 

or advance against future 

earnings or wages may 

be deducted if evidenced 

by a statement in writing 

signed by the employee. 

According to § 626, the 

term "employee" means 

any person who performs 

services for another in 

return for compensation, 

but does not include an 

independent contractor. 

A “reasonable time” 

means the earlier of either 

the next day on which 

employees would regularly 

be paid or a day not 

more than 2 weeks after 

the day on which the demand 

is made. 

If an employee sues, the 

employer may not deduct 

Don’t Mix Wages 

and Conduct 

as a setoff or counterclaim 

any money due the employer 

as compensation 

for damages caused to 

the employer's property 

by the employee, or any 

money owed to the employer 

by the employee. 

An employer found in 

violation of § 626 is liable 

for the amount of unpaid 

wages and, in addition, a 

judgment rendered in favor 

of the employee must 

include a reasonable rate 

of interest, an additional 

amount equal to twice the 

amount of those wages as 

liquidated damages and 

costs of suit, including a 

reasonable attorney's fee. 

What if an employee 

tells her employer to just 

go ahead and make the 

deductions and not to 

worry about the signed 

agreement? If money has 

already been loaned to 

the employee, the offer 

is tempting but the employer 

shouldn’t make 

the wage deductions. An 

oral agreement will not be 

enough under the law and 

the employer becomes 

dependent on relations 

never souring with the 

employee. 

What if an employee has 

just been fired for damaging 

company equipment 

due to sheer inattention 

or sloppiness? The employer 

would really like to 

hold his check, or deduct 

the cost of the damage, 

but shouldn’t do it. While 

the employer’s reaction 

may be justified, it needs 

to separate payment of 

wages due to an employee 

for hours worked from 

any money an employee 

may owe. There are other 

avenues rather than wage 

withholding for recovering 

money owed. Deducting 

will give the employee 

a wage and hour claim 

that will multiply the 

amount owed plus include 

the employee’s attorney’s 

fees. When in doubt, pay 

it out – or at least give us a 

call to find out what to do!

National Park System Includes a Variety of Sites 

By Victor Block 

Yellowstone National 

Park. Yosemite. City of 

Rocks National Reserve. 

City of Rocks? What, 

you may ask, does that 

have to do with two of the 

most magnificent jewels 

in the U.S. National Park 

Service crown? 

Mention “national 

parks” and people usually 

think of soaring landscapes 

and dramatic terrain. 

But that doesn’t tell 

the whole story. Dozens 

of smaller, lesser-known 

sites around the country 

have their own special 

appeals. They include 

magnificent scenery, overlooked 

chapters of American 

history and intriguing 

learning experiences. 

Westward Ho. 

In 1849, a miner heading 

for the California Gold 

Rush passed through a 

region of dramatic granite 

spires in Idaho that he 

dubbed “City of Rocks.” 

When a national reserve 

was established there 

140 years later, the name 

stuck. The outcroppings 

soar above alpine-like 

meadows to create an other-wordly 

landscape. 

The site also recalls 

the westward migration 

of early pioneers. Deep 

ruts cut into the ground 

by wagon wheels remain 

visible today. Inscriptions 

written on large rocks still 

bear the names of hardy 

souls who undertook the 

treacherous journey during 

the nation’s westward 

expansion. 

Pots and pools. 

Popping mud pots and 

pools of boiling water are 

among geological creations 

that dot the landscape 

of Lassen Volcanic 

National Park in California. 

Jagged peaks tell the 

story of the area’s eruptive 

past. All four types of volcanoes 

found throughout 

the world – plug dome, 

cinder cone, shield and 

composite – are found 

within the park. Gentle 

trails and scenic overlooks 

provide access into, and 

views over, the most dramatic 

areas. 

Inland beach. 

One of the largest and 

finest stretches of sand in 

the United States is located 

in landlocked Colorado. 

The tallest dunes 

in North America are the 

main attraction at Great 

Sand Dunes National 

Park. Topping them all is 

the spectacular Star Dune, 

which peaks at 750 feet.. 

The diverse landscape 

also includes rolling grasslands, 

wetlands, aspen 

forests and alpine lakes. 

Visitors may walk on the 

dunes and, when summer 

sand temperatures can 

reach 150 degrees, cool 

off by taking a dip in Medano 

Creek. 

Early Americans. 

Some 150 million years 

ago, a much larger river in 

what now is Utah attracted 

11 different types of dinosaurs 

to its banks. Their 

bones remain embedded 

in rock at Dinosaur National 

Monument. Most 

are fossils of Sauropods, 

high, long-necked plant 

eaters which were the biggest 

creatures ever to walk 

on earth. Other specimens 

range from large to small. 

Reminders of life of another 

kind also are found 

in the area. Rock petroglyphs 

remain from 800 to 

1,200 years ago when Fremont, 

Ute and Shoshone 

Indians left their marks. 

Near them stand remains 

of homesteads of settlers 

who arrived during the 

18th and 19th centuries. 

Navajo Nation. 

It’s the prehistoric 

Puebloan People who are 

recalled at Navajo National 

Monument in Arizona. 

Three 13th-century 

dwellings are perched in 

natural sandstone alcoves 

on cliffs overlooking wide 

canyons. The structures 

include roof beams, hand 

and foot holds, and other 

original architectural elements. 

A museum displays 

pottery, tools and other 

items of various Native 

American groups that took 

up residence in the Southwest 

including the Navajo, 

who live there today. 

Famous Family. 

Many decades after 

early Spanish explorers 

encountered families of 

Puebloan people in the 

Southwest, another family 

helped to establish and 

lead the new nation that 

was born along the eastern 

seaboard. A mansion 

in Quincy, Massachusetts 

named “Peacefield” 

served as home to John 

Adams, John Quincy Adams 

and subsequent generations 

of the famous 

family from 1720 to 1927. 

The house, now preserved 

in the Adams National 

Historical Park, was originally 

purchased in 1787 

by John Adams, then the 

minister to Great Britain, 

who later served as 

vice president and second 

president of the United 

States (1797-1801). John 

Quincy won fame as a 

diplomat, member of Congress, 

Secretary of State 

and the sixth president 

(1825-1829). Furnishings 

in the house include items 

acquired by each generation 

of the family. 

Park Patron. 

A lot of credit for the 

National Park system 

goes to President Theodore 

Roosevelt. During 

his stint as chief executive 

(1901-1909), “Teddy” 

pushed through legislation 

that established five 

national parks, along with 

a bill which empowered 

presidents who followed 

him to designate historic 

and other landmarks as 

national monuments. 

His conservation and 

preservation efforts are 

honored on a 91-acre 

outcrop in the Potomac 

River. What now is Theodore 

Roosevelt Island was 

used in the past by Native 

Americans as a fishing 

spot, and Union Troops 

encamped there during 

the Civil War. Visitors today 

learn about the legacy 

of our 26th president at a 

memorial that includes his 

statue and most memorable 

quotes. Teddy would 

be delighted to stroll along 

a boardwalk which leads 

through the quiet marsh 

and forest setting.

in honor of the HHRC’s 

founding mother, Gerda 

Haas. Gerda inspired 

many with her passion 

for human rights education. 

A Holocaust survivor 

originally from Germany, 

Gerda worked for many 

years as the librarian at 

Bates College. 

In the late 1970s, Governor 

Longley appointed 

Gerda to the State Board of 

Education. While serving 

on the board, she learned 

that students weren’t being 

taught about the Holocaust 

in Maine schools. 

Gerda not only identified 

a critical educational 

void, she took action to 

rectify it. The Holocaust 

and Human Rights Center 

welcomes the opportunity 

to recognize and honor an 

individual who, like Gerda 

Haas, has demonstrated 

excellence and initiative 

in human rights education 

and leadership. The center 

welcomes nominations 

from the public, center 

staff and board members. 

The recipient will be recognized 

on May 31, 2015 

at the Holocaust and Human 

Rights Center of

The Miami Boat Show – 

if you will excuse the use 

of a popular grammatical 

corruption – is ginormous! 

It is a showplace 

for everything that is 

technologically on the 

cutting edge, not only for 

big expensive boats and 

outboards, but also for 

nautical devices and related 

gismos. For those of us 

who grew up relying on a 2 

h.p. “kicker” outboard and 

a square stern canoe to get 

across the water, today’s 

options for powering a boat 

stagger the imagination. If 

you have a mind to go fast, 

very fast, and you have a fat 

wallet, Seven Marine from 

Germantown, Wisconsin 

will sell you an outboard 

engine that produces 627 

horse power. And, for less 

than a million bucks, you can 

buy a boat that will handle 

four of these bronze-propped 

babies! Do the math. That’s 

2,500 horsepower. Talk 

about torque. 

You’re right. For most of 

us plebian working stiffs, the 

Miami Boat Show is mostly 

a fantasy trip, a tire-kicking 

exercise – a chance to dream 

and drool. 

If you take your time, 

though, and check out the 

booths carefully you will find

The Griffin Clip 

devices well within reach 

of any boater’s pocketbook. 

The man with the German 

accent who demos and 

sells the magic glue draws 

a crowd, and sells a lot of 

product. The same can be 

said for a number of other 

vendors who sell boating 

parts and cleaning products. 

The show stopper for 

me was a simple, relatively 

inexpensive new device 

called the Griffin Clip. At 

first glance it looks like a 

large, stainless steel paper 

clip with an eyebolt at the 

bottom. It is a device that 

revolutionizes the pulling of 

an anchor. It is a simplified 

and well-engineered 

refinement of an old sailor’s 

trick: using the power of the 

boat and some geometry to 

bring an anchor effortlessly 

to the surface. 

The brochure for the Griffin 

Clip explains,”Designed 

to rapidly retrieve an 

anchor from the ocean floor 

requiring almost no effort 

from boaters. With one fluid 

motion, the Griffin Clip 

slides over the anchor rope 

and the boat pulls the anchor 

to the surface. The arduous 

process of repeatedly pulling 

an anchor to reposition it in a 

precise location is eliminated 

with the Griffin Clip.” 

I met the designer of the 

Griffin Clip. He is Mark 

Griffin, a South Florida 

angler who does not like 

to spend time and energy 

pulling anchors. Mike said 

that he, like most inventors, 

tried a variety of prototypes 

before he finally got it right. 

OPEN HOUSE! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His device is ideal for 

freeing up a stuck anchor, 

and it can also be used on 

chain as well as rope anchor 

lines. The device also has a 

commercial application for 

working boats over 32 feet. 

The Griffin Clip is 

manufactured in Hollywood, 

Florida. It is priced at about 

$130.00. More information 

is available at 954 923 

6033. The online site is 

AnchorPull.com 

On bluewater fishing 

trips off the Florida Keys 

on my son-in-law’s boat 

Right Stuff, I generally 

draw anchor detail. It’s not 

unusual when fishing the 

Hump or the Reef Line to put 

out and retrieve more than a 

hundred feet of anchor line, 

numbers of times when the 

fishing is slow. 

Next time out we’ll have a 

Griffin Clip on board.

NewsBites 

They’re Out To Get You! 

Yes, unfortunately, it’s true. Scam 

artists, thieves, frauds…whatever you 

want to call them, they’re out to get us 

at every turn. 

There was a recent news item about the 

scammers who billed a compounded 

skin cream to Medicare for over 

$13,000! I got a phone message just 

the other day that said that the sheriff’s 

 

less than an hour to arrest me for – who 

knows what…but if I just called them, 

they’d make it all better. I’m sure there 

was a hefty price tag attached to it. I 

just deleted it. (and no sheriff arrived!) 

Your phone is your best friend, because 

it keeps you connected to your friends 

and family. But it’s also your worst 

enemy, because those bad guys use it 

to get your information or money. The 

answer to all people who call you that 

you don’t know is NO. Hang up. Don’t 

answer when they call again. Use your 

voice mail as a screening tool. Don’t 

tell them anything – not your address, 

what year you graduated from high 

school, your husband’s date of birth, 

how long you’ve lived in your home… 

nothing. Nothing. Hang up. 

Check your Medicare statements. If 

you were to see a skin cream for pain 

that was billed to Medicare for $13,000, 

that you didn’t order, what would you 

do? You SHOULD immediately call 

 

then because it would be obviously 

a fraud, you would also call us, your 

local Area Agency on Aging’s Senior 

Medicare Patrol. You could also call 

 

1-800-447-8477. 

Protect yourself. Become a bit more 

suspicious than you’d like to be! 

Become a little rude! Beat them at 

their many games.

First aid kits at home 

are a must if you have animals! 

Horses are curious 

and playful creatures and 

sometimes even aggressive 

towards one another, so a 

horse owner must always 

be prepared for a wound 

or injury. A home first aid 

kit is essential as well as a 

portable one for your trailer 

and to take to events away 

from home. Your kit does 

not need to be elaborate but 

supply you with the necessary 

tools and equipment 

to treat injuries that don’t 

require medical attention or 

when you need a temporary 

measure until your veterinarian 

arrives. 

Primary rules of first aid 

start with calming yourself 

when you discover your 

horse is injured. Proceed 

to more than 1,200 

homebound older adults 

and adults with disabilities 

in Androscoggin, Franklin 

and Oxford counties 

through its Meals On 

Wheels program. Almost 

600 volunteers donate 

more than 28,000 hours 

to the program annually. 

Each meal provides one 

third of the recommended 

daily allowance of 

nutrition, a safety check, 

and a visit to these 

vulnerable adults. The 

majority of the consumers 

of Meals On Wheels are 

lower income, on fixed 

income, or MaineCare. 

“We struggle to keep 

up with the demand for 

Meals On Wheels and 

continually have a waiting 

list for the program,” said 

Betsy Sawyer-Manter, 

Executive Director of 

SeniorsPlus. “We seek 

funding through this event 

to keep the waiting lists 

to a minimum and to help 

fund the program.” 

The overall program 

goal of SeniorsPlus is to 

assist older adults and 

adults with disabilities 

in our tri-county area to 

remain at home safely for 

as long as possible. The 

overwhelming majority of 

older adults (greater than 

95% in an AARP survey) 

wish to remain at home 

until they die. 

“Meals On Wheels 

can often determine a 

person’s ability to remain 

at home,” added Ms. 

Sawyer-Manter. 

Dr. Verrill is an internist 

affiliated with Central 

Maine Healthcare who is 

a frequent contributor to 

education programming at 

SeniorsPlus that engages 

more than 1,000 people 

annually. 

“Alan Verrill donates 

his time regularly to 

the education program 

at SeniorsPlus – often 

presenting classes as part 

of our Healthy Aging 

Series,” said Ms. Sawyer- 

Manter. “He is a joy to 

work with and has a huge 

fan base.” 

Ikaria is a Greek island

in a calm slow manner and 

assess the situation. Remember 

to allow 30 to 60 

minutes for a fresh would 

to stop bleeding. Larger 

flesh wounds may need 

stitches or staples to promote 

healing and minimize 

scarring and your veterinarian 

should be contact 

right away. I have had to 

flesh wounds on my horse’s 

head, on gash on the forehead 

and one slice by the 

corner of the eye. The forehead 

needed 15 staples and 

was down to the muscle 

and the cut by the eye required 

many stitches. I had 

vets out that same night and 

today there is no scarring 

and healing was fast! 

You can buy a first aid kit 

directly with your vet that 

supplies you with medications 

and supplies. I did 

that many years ago but 

through the many years of 

horse ownership I have had 

to replenish mine with supplies 

and out of date medications. 

Self adhesive bandages, 

cotton, and gauze are extremely 

important to have 

on hand to help stop bleeding 

and to keep wounds 

clean. After soaking an abscessed 

hoof for a month I 

thought about buying stock 

in Vet wrap and gauze pads 

as I had to wrap and pack 

the hoof with a poultice 

twice a day. I also had a 

boarder who had a puncture 

wound that required 

to keep clean by wrapping 

his leg with cotton and Vet 

wrap. 

Antiseptic would cleaner 

such as Iodine, Betadine or 

Novalsan are great to have 

on hands to use as scrubs 

for wash cuts, punctures 

and skin infections. Zinc 

Oxide Cream is handy 

for sunburned noses and 

the world's five “Blue 

Zones” – places where 

an estimated one in three 

members of the population 

regularly lives an active 

life into their 90s. 

The mission of 

SeniorsPlus is “to enrich 

the lives of seniors and 

adults with disabilities.” 

SeniorsPlus believes 

in supporting the 

independence, dignity, 

and quality of life of those 

it serves. Established 

in 1972, SeniorsPlus 

covers Androscoggin, 

Franklin, and Oxford 

counties and serves more 

than 10,000 individuals 

annually. The agency 

focuses on older adults, 

adults with disabilities, 

and families and offers 

a network of support, 

including information and 

assistance, short-term care 

management, Medicare 

counseling, caregiver 

support and respite, health 

and wellness education, 

Options Counseling, and 

Meals On Wheels and 

congregate dining. • 

to protect minor cuts and 

nicks. Antiseptic cream or 

ointment is a must have 

to help wounds health and 

keep them clean. Epsom 

salts are great for drawing 

out infections and are mostly 

used with hoof abscesses 

and wounds. I recommend 

if you have to soak a hoof 

to purchase a soaking bag. 

A friend loaned one to me 

and it made my life 100% 

times easier. I would recommend 

it to anyone who 

has a hoof to soak! 

Always have a pair of 

sharp scissors, wire cutters, 

and bandage cutters. If you 

have wire fencing you need 

to be prepared to cut wire 

in case your horse gets entangled 

it. •

that Samantha 

Foote of Lisbon, a junior 

majoring in environmental 

engineering, was named to 

the university’s Dean’s List 

for academic excellence for 

the fall 2014 semester. 

The criteria for the WPI 

Dean’s List differ from that 

of most other universities 

as WPI does not compute a 

grade point average (GPA). 

Instead, WPI defines the 

Dean’s List by the amount 

of work completed at the A 

level in courses and projects.

today announced the University 

of Maine at Augusta’s

grade point average for a 

given semester and must be 

enrolled full-time.
