You-Know What Putting a Zap on Maine's 200th Birthday Party
March 15, 2020, Fox News "Maine marks 200th birthday, but coronavirus zaps party" AP.
The pandemic forced Maine's bicentennial committee to postpone Sunday's celebration in Augusta that was supposed to kick off with activities that will continue all year, including plans for a big parade in May and the arrival of the tall ships in July.
How many of these will be postponed or dropped is not known.

He Shoots and Scores!!!
March 29th Niagara This Week "He shoots and scores"
The rivalry between the United States and Canada is coming to the ice. The next activity of the 1812 Bicentennial Committee is an ice hockey game with current junior and college-level players on both sides of the border.
The game was held April 7th and is part of a three-year lineup of celebrations planned.
I did not find out who won. Perhaps the NHL can have another one of their Canada and US pros play each other. We sure had a great time watching the Canada-US games the last time hey played. And, we were in Panama City, Florida, watching it with a lot of Canadians. That was a blast.
Go, Team U.S.A.!!! --Brock-Perry
