CAMP ZAMA, Japan – A genie, a gorilla, an astronaut, Jack Sparrow and even Freddy Krueger paid a visit to the home of Army Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie, command sergeant major, U.S. Army Japan, for a Halloween celebration Oct. 23, 2015, in Camp Zama, Japan.
The Dostie family treated their costumed guests with a home cooked meal, specialty drinks and traditional Halloween treats. Dostie and his wife also organized games for the group that included stacking plastic cups and shaking ping pong balls out of tissue boxes. Even Dostie’s five-year old daughter participated in the friendly competition by awarding the best male and female costumes of the night.
“I hosted this party to help our senior NCO leadership to unwind after a few stressful weeks preparing for major missions and exercises” said Dostie who greeted his guests in pharaoh’s clothing, “These celebrations remind us that our command is a close-knit family that enjoys the little tricks and treats in life.”

41 Mt. Desert Street, Bar Harbor, Maine USA • Window in honor of Cadwalader Ogden: Made by Tiffany, 1891. Depicts The Last Supper; please note nine stars.
Maine’s largest collection of Tiffany stained-glass windows shines at St. Saviour’s Episcopal church, built in 1878 in Bar Harbor. A noted New York surgeon donated the first colorful installation – a three-panel depiction of the resurrected Christ placed above the original altar – in 1886. Since then, members of the congregation have added additional awe-inspiring Tiffany windows and others crafted as far away as England and France. The Victorian stone church offers tours during summer, but the building is open year-round. Next door, cemetery buffs can wander the old graveyard, where the maze of tombstones memorializes the town’s distinguished founders and their families. – from the Mt. Desert Island Net website.
☞ This structure, and the Rectory have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (#95000729), since 1995.
From the church’s website: It is claimed that St. Saviour’s has more Tiffany windows than anywhere else in Maine! There are ten beautiful examples of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s technique and artistry here at St. Saviour’s. We have a total of forty two stained glass windows in all.
St. Saviour’s also houses a number of more formal English stained glass windows as well as a variety of historic memorials. The windows span over a century, ranging in date from 1886 to 1992. …
St. Saviour’s Episcopal Church is the oldest, largest and tallest public building on Mt. Desert Island. The church is named for the French Jesuit Mission, "Saint Sauveur," which was established on the island in 1613. In 1871, land was purchased, upon which the first church was constructed. It was completed in 1878 and seated 325 people.
With a large year-round congregation and summer congregations often exceeding one thousand, more space was needed and in 1885 – 1886, the original building became the transept for the new church with a 16′ radius apse and an Italian marble altar.
In 1888, Mrs. William Vanderbilt had a church hall built for the Sunday School program, and in 1900 the present chancel and sanctuary were added. …
☞ St. Saviour’s Parish is an Episcopal Church committed to reverent public worship, an understanding of the Christian Faith, the spiritual renewal of our lives and the expression of our faith through community service.
"Saint Saviour" refers to Jesus Christ, our "Holy Saviour." Another way to say the same title is "Holy Redeemer" which is the name of the Roman Catholic Church across the street.
St. Saviour’s identifies itself as an “open church.” By this we mean that all persons, wherever they are in the spiritual journey, are welcome to come and be a part of this community. We seek to be a safe place for skeptics and agnostics as well as for believers. We are an inclusive church in which people from many backgrounds have found common ground. We are a diverse community which has discovered in God a oneness greater in significance than our differences. We have come to know that our variety, in truth, reflects the divine comprehensiveness of the God of all created things. People come to church for a variety of reasons. We assume that because you come, in some way – subtle or profound – the Spirit of God drew you here. The communion meal of Christ’s presence among us in the form of bread and wine is offered to anyone who comes with a sincere heart to receive it.
