Class of 2009 Alumni Faces Medical Crisis
Hello, My name is Jess Connor. We are organizing March Madness (a benefit) this year for one of your alumni, Emily Desjardins (Class of 2009) and her 4 month old baby boy, Martin James who was diagnosed with Caudal Regression Syndrome. We are raising funds for them so they can pay for medical supplies and travel/lodging to get the surgery he will need prior to his first birthday. The surgery will help create a rectum for him so that he will no longer need to rely on his colostomy bag. Among other complications, he also has a tethered spinal cord. Last year, March Madness put on a co-ed basketball game between Belfast and Searsport. It was a big success, and we want to continue it this year to help this family out. We are looking for 6 more lady alumni and 7 more male alumni to fill the BAHS Alumni team. Additionally, we will be doing a Polar Plunge, Public Supper and Auction for them as part of this collaborative event. We need volunteers. We are seeking basketball players, and volunteers to help this family. We do not have dates, times or locations yet, but within the next couple of weeks, we should have this information available. Can you help us? Thanks! Jess Connor (Posted February 05, 2013)
Any Alumni who might be interested in more information, playing in the alumni basketball game or volunteering can contact Jess Connor directly atmarchmadnessbenefit@gmail.com

Past Yearbooks Available for Sale
Did you lose your yearbook from 1981? Would you like to obtain a copy? There are ten (10) 1981 yearbooks available for sale - priced at $15. each. If interested, please contact current BAHS Yearbook Advisor, Heidi O'Donnell by sending her a private message (click on teacher profiles and locate her name).
It's Martha Kulikowski (Class of 1983), from the BAHS Booster Club. I was hoping to get the word out about an Alumni 50/50 matching campaign. The snack shack located at the BAHS football field needs to be rebuilt. The snack shack project is estimated to cost about $25,000. The Boosters have set aside $11,000 so far.
We were contacted by a Crosby HS alumnus class of '51 (who wants to remain anonymous) who has generously offered to sponsor a matching campaign. He is willing to match (up to $5000.000) any contributions made to the BAHS Booster Club by any Crosby HS alumni, BAHS alumni or friends. There was an article in the Republican Journal in May.
On Friday, August 10, 2012 the Northport Golf Club will be holding a benefit tournament for this project. If interested in participating, please submit a team or consider sponsoring a hole. Or if you prefer, you can contribute by just sending a check made out to: BAHS Athletic Booster Club and mail to: 98 Waldo Avenue Belfast, Maine 04915.
Remember - once a Lion - always a Lion! Go Blue and Gold Forever! A Lions Pride lives on in the Lions Den of BAHS yesterday, today and tomorrow. Please consider sending a generous donation to your old Alma mater.

All Class Reunion Cancelled
Due to extremely low registeration for the BAHS All Class Reunion scheduled for August 2012, it has been cancelled. It is assumed that the economic downturn was a factor in the alumni not wanting to commit to the All Class (1966-2011) Reunion. So, the BAHS Alumni Association will try to arrange plans in a couple years when the economy will hopefully have turned around and be on the upswing again. Sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this cancelation might cause.

ALUMNI SWIM BLURB........By Mary Richards Thompson (Class of 1978)
The swimming tradition continued for a another year on the 26th of December. Since Bob Winslow began coaching the boys team in 1973, I believe the alumni swim meet has been a fixture since 1975 or 6. I don't remember swimming against Alumni while in high school, which ended for me in 1978. Then it was awhile before us woman began showing up to do battle in the pool. So what is so fun about showing up 33 years after passing through the hallowed waters of the 46 year old pool? Well it is always nice to know that all the swimming you have done through the previous year pays off as you don't end up with your head stuck in the garbage can, the swim suit still fits, though the styles have changed, and that you can safely say that none of the alumni or the current swimmers were born when you finished your swim career at BAHS. Seriously, showing up for all the years that I have, probably a good 25, causes me to relive those hours spent going back and forth in the pool, which don't seem that long ago. Of course Mr. Winslow is still there as he just loves swimming. Lastly it is good to see old swim friends as swimmers are a special bunch of people, who could swim all those yards without the ability to chat with your friends, but to talk and sing to yourself all those peaceful moments while your head is in the water. Is this the same as your head being in the clouds????
So remember, every December 26th there is an event that you can attend where it doesn't matter if you finish last, I do most years, but I can still swim the 200 and 500 freestyles, if your googles leak, you don't need to have the newest swim suit, only one of decent appearance, it is warm, and the conversation is what you make of it. Next year it would be great to have someone come from each decade from the 1960's to the 2000's. Quite frankly I am getting tired of being the oldest showing up and asking the swimmer next me to take it easy on me as they weren't born when I was swimming in this pool. See you next year!!!!

Alumni Lady Lions Nip Girl Cubs
Front L - R: Lynne (Heroux) Hahn ('82) - Coach, Traci Sheldon ('85), Amy (Dyer) Kelley ('91), Brooke Reed ('07), Brittany Cummings ('07), Brianna Webster ('08), Back L - R: Ade Hills ('09), Brittany Dyer ('09), Elizabeth Rauch ('11), Carly Emt ('11)
The Alumni Lady Lions nipped the Girl Cubs 39 - 36 in a close game on Monday evening, December 26. With one minute to go in the final period, the BAHS Cubs sent a girl to the foul line where she sunk both shots to tie-up the score 36 - 36. Then, the experienced Lady Lions took the round ball to the other end of the hard wood, and with 14 seconds on the clock, let a 3 point shot fly from the corner off the finger tips of Brittany Dyer ('09), which found nothing but net! It was an exciting, hard fought match that went right to the final buzzer. Good game Ladies and Girls and the fans will anticipate a return to the Lion's Den next year for another exciting competition.

Message From the Desk of Superintendent of School RSU 20:
Welcome back alumni of Belfast Area HS.The Belfast area and BAHS have undergone significant changes since 1975.The high school, originally built to house approximately 400 students, is now serving 643 students grades nine through twelve.There have been three additions to the school that include the math wing, the English wing, and the most obvious fine arts wing.All schools in the district, with the exception of Weymouth school, have been upgraded or totally rebuilt.With the addition of the Capt. Albert Stevens elementary school and the TroyHowardMiddle School, we are no longer using PierceSchool, AndersonSchool, RobertsonSchool, and CrosbyHigh School.Most recently, we are part of a State mandated consolidation and our school district is now known as Regional School Unit #20 and encompasses all the former SAD34 towns and former SAD56 (Searsport, Frankfort, and Stockton Springs).We cover nine towns with two high schools, two middle schools, and nine elementary schools and a total of 2600 students.
The city of Belfast and the surrounding communities have gone through major transformations in the years since your graduation.The loss of the poultry and sardine industry and the arrival of MBNA, Bank of America, and Athena Health has resulted in obvious changes to the area.We enjoy a branch of the University of Maine located at the HutchinsonCenter out on route 3 and WaldoCountyHospital has gone through an expansion.The Belfast Free Library has undergone a renovation and the waterfront has totally changed.If you have not been in the area for a while, I think you will be impressed with the changes.
Letti Harvey has undertaken the job of organizing this reunion as well as establishing an alumni association.I encourage you to support her efforts and choose to be involved.
Enjoy your time ‘home’ and take advantage of the many activities arranged for you.If you have questions about the high school or any of our schools, please feel free to contact me at 338-1960 or bmailloux@sad34.net.
