1993 - Bangor/Houlton, Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou Noyes had vanished without a trace from Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor in the early morning hours of April 25th, 1993. All eyes were on her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger, who were both arrested after a violent altercation with Virginia at a bar shortly before her disappearance. Hospital staff said Virgina left without checking out, possibly on her own accord. This is the last place she was reliably seen. She was never heard from again. Virginia was a mother. A beloved sister and daughter. After 30 years of waiting, her family just wants to bring her home.  Through their own personal healing, Virginia's family is determined to shed light on the issue of violence and abuse experienced by Native women and people at a disproportionately higher rate. By sharing their stories, they hope to help other families and make a positive impact for the future of Indigenous people. This is an MMIW case from Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou is Mi'kmaw—part of Mi'kmaq Nation—one of Maine and Canada's Native tribes. By sharing her story, we are keeping her name alive and bringing awareness to the epidemic that is violence against Indigenous women and girls.  Detailed sources can be found on murdershetold.com Connect on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram @murdershetoldpodcast Support the show here Visit Robert Pictou's shop https://robert-pictou.square.site/s/shop If you have any information about the disappearance of Virginia Pictou, please contact the Maine Major Crimes Unit North at (207) 973-3750 or toll free 1-800-432-7381.

KRISHNA BHATTA, MD, FRCS is a surgeon, author, and inventor, currently working as chief of urology at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine. Dr. Bhatta began his life in a small Indian village, attended Patna Medical College in India, continued his education in the UK, and then completed his research & medical training at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston before settling down in Maine. His wife, Nayantara, is an OB/GYN and their two children are also physicians. Dr. Bhatta is a former president of the Maine Medical Association and the Maine urology Society. Dr. Bhatta is both practical and spiritual; he developed a fascination with spiritual studies early in his life. After seeing the high rate of burnout in the physician community, Dr. Bhatta set out to understand the issue, but through a different lens. Rather than focus on the burnout itself, Dr. Bhatta evaluated those who do not burnout, to understand why. Through this, Dr. Bhatta found himself revisiting his knowledge of meditation and spirituality. He believes that burnout, or rather lack thereof, comes from within. By focusing efforts on finding our own "flame", we better understand our individual consciousness and mind. Nurturing this flame, learning thought management and practicing intermittent silence, help us prevent burnout, and function as the best version of ourselves. Dr. Bhatta's team has built a new app, titled Relaxx, which will take users through advanced meditation and allow them to develop peace, happiness and relaxation https://relaxx.org/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jay-feldman5/support

UNSOLVED MAINE MURDER: Just before 10 p.m. on the night of October 13, 1984, an unknown man pulled into the emergency room drop-off at Eastern Maine Medical Center. The man didn't identify himself, or the badly injured woman sitting in his front seat. The driver told hospital staff that she was hit by a car. As they placed the woman in a wheelchair and brought her inside, the driver sped off without another word. Within minutes, the injured woman succumbed to her injuries. She died there at the hospital, nameless and alone. Today, we know her name, but nearly 37 years later we still don't know the truth about what happened to her.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND, chats with Dr. Krishna Bhatta, an American urologist, author, and inventor, and an expert in the study of intermittent silence, mediation, and Gita  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-krishna bhatta Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. Krishna Bhatta  12:05 I did a big surgery and patient was in ICU, and everything appeared to be good. And something tells me at midnight, wakes me up and says he's not doing well. So, I call, and I didn't get any signals from anyone, and I'm not trying to criticize the monitoring or something. I just went there, and he was almost in shock. So, these are little intuition things. Dr. Krishna Bhatta  When it comes to the flame, we don't pay attention to we are born with a different size of flame. So, some people are born, they won't stress out, they won't burn out. They don't know what that is. They don't need to do meditation to get there. Because they're already at a different level. But we don't work on the flame. And the whole emphasis that I'm trying to bring is that you should work in at it because you can be better. You need to develop all three elements. Dr. Krishna Bhatta  18:34 Becoming more aware, you are there any way you can be more closer to it. So how would you say increase the size of the flame? But basically, you're just being more aware of your inner strength. And the more aware you become, it's amazing how many new doors start opening.   About Dr Krishna Bhatta Krishna Bhatta, MD, FRCS (born 1 June 1948) is an American urologist, author, and inventor.[1][2] Dr. Bhatta specializes in robotic uro-oncologic surgeries, male reproductive medicine, urologic care, and calculi.[3] He is affiliated with several medical facilities, including Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, St. Joseph Hospital, and Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital.

Lee Witting is host of the podcast NDE Radio, which he founded six years ago. He recently retired after 15 years as chaplain at Eastern Maine Medical Center, and continues to pastor a congregation at the Union Street Brick Church in Bangor, Maine. Before starting NDE Radio for the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) he served as their Publicatons Director.  Lee’s interest in NDEs began as a child, when he drowned in a lake near Branchville, NJ. In his Fall, 2010 editorial in the IANDS’ quarterly, Vital Signs, Lee wrote, “My body was under water, but I opted out of the tunnel and the light for a perch high in a tree, watching as my mother, who’d heard me scream, ran from the cottage, dived in, and dragged my body from the water.  Remarkably, she threw me face down over a log and pumped on my back (as she told me later, to get the water out of my lungs).   In the process, the log did an upside-down CPR, compressing my heart, and got me going again.  And then I was back in my body.” Lee went through Presbyterian Sunday School before being raised Catholic, when his mother converted to that religion.  At Columbia University he minored in Eastern Studies, and developed a deep interest in Buddhism.  After college he worked two jobs – primarily for New York City’s Dept. of Welfare as a caseworker in Harlem.  With money they saved, Lee, his wife and young son boarded a coal freighter bound for Germany, and spent nine months living in a VW camper, touring churches and pagan sites in Europe, and following crusader routes through the former Yugoslavia, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon – winding up in Jerusalem before returning to Europe and the U.S. Back in the US, Lee worked as an editor of one academic and three business publications in Philadelphia.  As members of the Society of Friends, the family marched in Washington DC and New York, protesting the Vietnam War and supporting Civil Rights.  In 1973, the family moved to an old, abandoned farmhouse in midcoast Maine.  While restoring the farm, they raised goats, pigs and chickens, and sold their home-grown vegetables at a roadside stand.  Lee helped start and edit an organic gardening magazine for Maine called Farmstead, and later, to supplement his income, opened a real estate office and published/edited a weekly newspaper, The Castine Patriot.  During that time, he also served as a volunteer EMT on a local ambulance. Lee earned an MA degree in theater and creative writing at the University of Maine, before earning a master of divinity degree at Bangor Theological Seminary.  In 1998, Lee and his second wife, Charlene, were able to purchase an historic Bangor church and convert it to a working church theater, where open mic nights and several plays, including an annual Passion Play, have been produced by Charlene. While working as hospital chaplain, he returned to the seminary part-time to earn a doctorate in near-death studies in 2010.  Lee’s radio experience began at Columbia University’s WKCR-FM in New York, and later continued in a six-year run of “Earthtones,” a WERU-FM community radio program he hosted, which was devoted to Native American and Eastern religious chant – along with weekly NDE stories from the files of IANDS.  Lee’s podcast, found at nderadio.org, is dedicated primarily to interviews with near-death experiencers, and offers more than 325 archived shows for those interested in first-hand accounts of NDEs.

Coach Nick Derba is the Head Baseball Coach at the University of Maine. Derba served as interim head coach at UMaine during the 2016-17, guiding UMaine to its highest win total in four years (25). In America East Championship play, Derba led the Black Bears to four straight wins, earning a berth in the title game.

In the 2007 Major League Draft, the St. Louis Cardinals selected Derba in the 31st round. He played six years in the Cardinal system, advancing as high as AAA Memphis (PCL). In 2012, he was a member of the Texas League champion Springfield Cardinals. From 2008-12, Derba spent significant time in the Cardinals Major League spring training camp. After the 2012 season, he retired to pursue a coaching career. Derba had a highly decorated playing career at Manhattan College, where he was honored as a three-time All-MAAC first team catcher. He was the only three-year captain in Manhattan baseball history and still ranks among the school's all-time leaders in career home runs, hits, runs scored, games played and RBIs.
