Our guest for week 5, the halfway point of the 32nd Forecast is Tim Lausier of Madawaska.

Lausier, 29, is a 1991 graduate of the University of Maine-Presque Isle, where he earned a degree in business. He is putting that degree to work as the owner and operator of Bob’s Service Center in Madawaska.

He graduated from Madawska High School in 1986 and was a standout in golf, hockey, and basketball.

Lausier will be trying to unseat two-time guest champ Kevin Hewes of Brewer, who still leads with a 16-4 mark from the opening week.

Last week’s guest, Matthew Paul of Millinocket, posted 13-7 in a second straight difficult week.

Dave Barber now has company among the staff prognosticators as Andrew Neff and Pete Warner join him at the top.

Neff, John Holyoke, and Joe McLaughlin turned in the best records for the week at 15-5.
