Ep 076: One of our favorite charitable events we support each year is the Energy4Life Golf Scramble. Maritime Energy started the Energy4Life program to help local families dealing with cancer. Each year, hundreds of golfers come together to support the Energy4Life charity, and this year, our guest was speaking to the group on behalf of the Maine Cancer Foundation. He painted a picture of how cancer is impacting the State of Maine but how the dollars raised locally are helping our families, friends, neighbors, and communities. We ran up to him after his talk and introduced our podcast and how it would be a great episode to discuss what happens next when we've been diagnosed with cancer and how Maine in particular is impacted by cancer rates. So, that is what we're going to discuss today!  Our next guest earned a degree in criminal justice from St. Joseph's College of Maine and began work as a beat cop in Portland in 2005. In 2018, he joined the Maine Cancer Foundation, first as the Community Outreach Manager and the Director of Development and NOW as Executive Director. He's just as easily found in Aroostook County as he is in Cumberland. An avid outdoorsman and studying to become a registered Maine guide, it's not uncommon for him to forgo a hotel room for his tent while on the road for Maine Cancer Foundation.

FAYETTE, 1983: When Ted Flagg returned home from work on a cold day in January 1983, he was not warmly greeted by his wife as usual. Instead, he found 23-year old Judith Flagg dead. Evidence was scattered across the house. There were boot prints in the freshly fallen snow. Suspicions were cast and stories perpetuated throughout the small town of Fayette, Maine, but it would take over two decades to bring this cold case to a close. This is the case of Judith Flagg, written and researched by Natalie Jones with additional writing and production by host Kylie Low. For the month of October 2022, all proceeds collected from the https://www.buymeacoffee.com/darkdowneast (Dark Downeast Buy Me a Coffee) will be donated to the Maine Cancer Foundation in honor of Kylie's mother who lost her battle with cancer on October 1.
