Ken Capron is an intelligent man. I got that right away when we met recently. His gaze was strong and focused and he was quick and articulate when he answered my questions. I only knew he had dementia because he told me ahead of time. I had the same experience with Donna Beveridge. Since her diagnosis, she’s even become an accomplished artist and is chronicling her life with dementia in watercolor.

The new “Star Trek” reunites the young crew that producer/director J.J. Abrams put together for his 2009 sequel to the long-running TV and movie series, and he’s thrown in some heavyweight supporting actors and a ton of special effects as well.

The only thing he left out was the moral questioning of the original series, its real heart and soul.

Becky Sawtelle is the Queen of Weight Loss!

I think today should be all about Becky Sawtelle. No wait, let’s give her the entire rest of the week. She deserves it! For most of Becky’s life she struggled with her weight and finally decided to have gastric by-pass surgery. Dr. Jamie Loggins, from the Central Maine Bariatric Surgery Center did the procedure the end of January.

When I wrote an update in March she was not happy with how things were going. Here’s what she had to say: “I had a really strong relationship with food. Now I can’t eat whatever, whenever, and how much I want. I miss that.”

SACO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- When Terry Bragdon heard her friend Karen Rand had been injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, she panicked.

"I was just feeling for the family," she explained.

When she caught wind that Rand wanted to move back home to Maine to recover and be close to family, she went into action.

"She contacted me and said, 'I want to move home to Maine to heal. Would you help me find a house in Old Orchard Beach? I want to be in Old Orchard Beach close to my family,'" said Bragdon.

"My first thought was, I don't know how I am going to find her a house that is going to suit her needs," she continued. "You know there is a lot of older construction in Old Orchard Beach. It is going to be difficult."
