PHILLIPS Dee Dauphinee, author of “When You Find My Body: The Disappearance of Geraldine “Gerry” Largay on the Appalachian Trail”, will be the “Maine” guest at the Phillips Public Library on Saturday, May 22 at 11 a.m. He will be accompanied by his research assistant, Doug Comstock.
Dauphinee wrote the account of Gerry Largay’s disappearance while she was hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail in western Maine. The title is a quote from Largay’s journal after she became lost in the woods in July of 2013.
Librarian Hedy Langdon shares, “Not many can forget the extended search for Mrs. Largay and the frustrating efforts of each day passing and her not being located. We knew she was up on that mountain somewhere, but where?”

Basketball Swish-Out Contest goes virtual for charity
The 27th annual C-U Swish-Out Childhood Cancer Challenge – presented by Town & Country FCU – is going virtual this year, beginning April 12 and ending May 8.
The format of this year’s event will be a weekly free throw competition where three participants form a team and each participants take 50 free throws. The free throws can be taken from anywhere that has a regulation free throw line or a close facsimile, and do not have to be taken at the same time. The collective total from the team is reported by 5 p.m. Sunday each week. The 25 percent of teams in each division, with the lowest total, will be eliminated while the remainder will move on to the next week. There will be weekly winners of gift cards, and the top three teams in each division at the end of the 4-week competition will win prizes. Every participant receives a T-shirt just for registering.
