The 30th anniversary for the polar plunge, a fundraising event hosted by the Waterville Area Alfond Youth and Community Center, was held on Saturday, March 11, with over 150 folks showing up at Oakland’s historic Pressey House, in Oakland, to enjoy the beautiful crisp weather, Pinky D’s delicious poutine, and watch the over 50 fundraisers take the plunge into Messalonskee Lake. Along with sponsors like Central Maine Motors and Kennebec Savings Bank, the event raised $22,000 to support at risk youth in programs like Summer Camp Tracy and Greenhouse to Your House food security.
Top fundraisers included Tony Tuell for the eighth year in a row at $4,500, and first time dipper Ashton Erving, a participant in the AYCC Unified Champions program, with $2,465. Another first-time dipper was Crista Lavenson who, despite having run the event for 10 years, had never ventured into the water. She put out a challenge to raise $2,000 in 24 hours and with a last-minute flurry of pledges at the event managed to reach her goal and take the plunge!

Stephanie Plasse
Northern Light Inland Hospital is pleased to welcome Stephanie Plasse, DNP, FNP-C, family nurse practitioner, to Northern Light Primary Care, in Oakland.
Stephanie received her doctoral degree from Quinnipiac University in North Haven, Connecticut, and her undergraduate degree from Endicott College, in Beverly, Massachusetts. She is a board-certified family nurse practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.
Regarding patient care, she says, “I take the time to educate patients. It is important for patients to understand their conditions so that we can make a management plan together. In primary care, we aim to help prevent diseases, if possible, catch other diseases early to improve prognoses, and establish an appropriate plan of care once diseases are diagnosed. Education is critical in all of these areas.”
Stephanie is welcoming new patients age 17 and older. Please contact the office at 465-7342 to schedule an appointment or visit their website to schedule an appointment online. The practice is located at 74 Water Street, in Oakland.
