DICK FICKE – A WHITE MOUNTAIN TREASURE – LEAVES THE VALLEY WITH A LEGACY OF SERVICE
If you ever met Dick Ficke, the first thing you’d notice was his kind eyes. After a conversation, you’d look back and realize how very interested he was in everything you had to say- this already brilliant man took the time to truly listen and learn whatever he could from what you had to contribute to the conversation. He really cared and you knew it. He will always be remembered as one of the good guys. This Colgate alumni and decorated retired Air Force Officer is going to be sorely missed.
Richard “Dick” Ficke of Bartlett passed away on April 20th at Maine Medical Center from from Kidney and heart failure complications. Dick was Born April 5, 1937 in Danbury, Connecticut. He met Annie in 2001 and they moved to the Mount Washington Valley.
Dick was passionate about the charities he served such as: Kiwanis Club of MWV, past president and Kiwanian Of The Year and Kiwanian District Lt. Governor. He was the president of the MWV Habitat for Humanity, SCORE’s Chapter Chair and his most cherished post-retirement role, “Head Elf” of Angels and Elves.
2013 brought Dick the title of one of the White Mountain Treasures and that year he was also awarded with the SCORE Leadership award. Two years later he was named the volunteer of the year by the Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council.
In lieu of flowers, Dick asked that contributions be made to: MWV Habitat for Humanity, Kiwanis or Angels and Elves.
A military viewing and and Honors ceremony will be held in Newport, RI and a celebration of his life will be held later in the summer in Bartlett.
CORONA VIRUS OR NOT, WE LOVE OUR PETS
What happens when your pet gets sick? The real question is, what do we do in a crisis like this?
Fryeburg Veterinarian Dr. Susan Simpkins says: “We’re seeing all the normal things that we would see; allergies start to tick up this time of year, GI issues, we’re seeing a lot of porcupine quills I think probably people are getting out there with their dogs, hiking.” With the importance of social distancing, pets of course allowed into the Fryeburg Veterinary Hospital but owners remain in their cars and the consults are done by phone. Dr. Simpkins goes on to explain: “Veterinarians and technicians work together to, you know, get an exam done and assess the animal, we then call the owner by phone, the veterinarian does, and discusses what we found in the exam and any recommended treatments.” She goes on to explain that it may take a few phone calls back and forth to truly understand what’s going on and determine the right treatment for the animal based on the conversation between the doctor and the animal owner.
Fryeburg Veterinary clinic is currently taking orders for medications, seasonal preventatives and prescription diets while still practicing social distancing. All deliveries are done curbside.
As the weather warms up, Dr. Simpkins urges you to protect your pet through the spring season and consider visits and or treatments for heartworm, fleas and ticks and other seasonal parasites.

HAPPY 50TH EARTH DAY <3
There are some positives to humans isolating, staying at home, consuming less and polluting less. On this, the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day we find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic. However in the midst of it, studies show that the earth is repairing itself and species are allowed to thrive. This is a good thing for us, for our children, for our future.
This year we have to celebrate either at home or at a distance from one another but there are many ways to do this. Here are a few ideas:
Whatever you do today, it’s a celebration of the planet that houses us all. And just like we’re taking precautions now to protect one another, our families, our friends, our co-workers, strangers… let’s watch the affect and bring some of our care out of this and forward in the future to our Mother Earth.
“The earth is what we all have in common”. ~ Wendell Berry
