KITTERY -

This Saturday, April 29, reality star Michelle Bancewicz from NatGeo’s TV series “Wicked Tuna” will be making an appearance at Kittery Trading Post (KTP), 301 Route 1, Kittery. Bancewicz will be at KTP from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a meet-and-greet in conjunction with KTP’s weekendlong “Fish! Paddle! Hunt!” event.

Eliot Connects Seeks Care Kits

ELIOT -

Eliot Connects is accepting care kits until May 5 to distribute during the week of May 8 to over more than 20 organizations, such as Footprints Food Pantry and York County Community Action Corporation, among others in the community that provide for those in need. Individuals are encouraged to join the effort by making kits with families, coworkers, neighbors, and friends, or to donate items in bulk, individually wrapped, to be added to kits created by others.

Care kits start with a gallon-sized ziplock bag, marked as adult or youth. Volunteers can fill the kits with such items as sunblock, deodorant, hand cream, sanitizer, socks, drink

powder packets, toothbrush and toothpaste, a baseball, a sun hat, chapstick, tissues, bug spray, or nonperishable snacks and treats.

Volunteers can get creative and also add seed packets, garden gloves, chalk, bubble kits, a journal and pen, a small toy, art supplies, crossword puzzles, word searches or sudoku, bath bombs, manicure kits, playing cards, etc. The possibilities are endless.

In the fall of 2021, Field & Stream reported on a viral video showing Bancewicz catching a 9-foot tuna aboard her boat, aptly named the “No Limits.” Bancewicz is an accomplished angler, and is also one of the only female commercial fishing captains plying the waters of New England’s famed bluefin tuna grounds. It came as no surprise Michelle ended up featured in the show’s next season.

Michelle’s “No Limits” and “Wicked Tuna” merchandise will be available for purchase during the meet-and-greet. “Fish! Paddle! Hunt!” is well-attended by people all across New England. KTP will open early, at 8 a.m. on Saturday.

Admiral Joins Collins at PNS and King at BIW

SEACOAST -

U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) joined Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Michael Gilday at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) on Tuesday, April 25, to tour the ongoing construction projects, receive an update on the facilities and shipyard operations, and meet with the shipyard’s military and civilian leadership.

“Maine’s Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is the gold standard for all shipyards in this country due to its efficient, high-quality work for more than 200 years,” said Senator Collins. “What a pleasure it was to have CNO Gilday and Senator Hassan tour our wonderful shipyard today. We saw the extraordinary work that is done here each and every day, as well as the important modernization projects and apprentice-

ship programs that are underway at PNS. We also met with many of the dedicated men and women who are working to keep our nation’s submarines at sea for years to come.”

“I was glad to have the opportunity to join CNO Gilday and Senator Collins to tour Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, where we heard more about their efforts to modernize the shipyard and maintain the readiness of our

nuclear submarines,” Senator Hassan said. “The shipyard has played a major role throughout our history in keeping Americans safe at home and abroad, and I will continue working across the aisle to ensure that it has the support it needs to complete its critical missions.”

Collins and Senator Angus King (I-ME) hosted Admiral Gilday at Bath Iron Works (BIW) on Monday, April 24, to tour the

shipyard’s manufacturing areas and training facilities and meet with workers.

The visit included tours of several manufacturing areas, the main shipyard, and the kitting terminal. Additionally, Admiral Gilday Senator Collins and Senator King boarded and toured the USS Carl M. Levin (DDG 120).

“It was a pleasure to welcome back Admiral Gilday to Bath Iron Works, where he had the opportunity to see firsthand the tremendous skill and dedication of employees who are building the Navy’s most capable ships. It is reassuring to know that the brave men and women of the Navy will crew a ship built by the world’s best shipbuilders,” said both Senators in a joint statement.

“The value of our naval assets and shipyards to our national

SEACOAST -

This upcoming season, tourists and locals alike may most likely encounter university-aged servers with a foreign accent at area restaurants, bars and hotels. Chances are likely those workers are holding a J-1 visa. J-1 visas allow students to work in the U.S. legally for three months, and then travel for as much as 30 days afterward before returning home. Throughout the United States this summer, there will be about 100,000 of these young people working in tourist towns and summer camps. Says Frank DeSarro, coordinator of the

Town parks for one year.

The town thanks the public for helping keep beaches clean and safe for everyone to enjoy. For more information, visit www. kitteryme.gov/home/news/ seapoint-beach-fire-permit-information-application.

Kittery J-1 Support Group, “In Maine last year there were 1,826 camp counselors and 2,622 others working mostly in restaurants, hotels and shops. Coastal towns from Kittery to Bar Harbor rely on these foreign university students to staff their businesses because without them, the businesses would have to reduce hours or possibly close for a day or two.”

The town of Kittery’s J-1 Support Group is made up of mostly retirees who assist the summer workers there by offering rides from the C&J bus station to their housing upon arrival. They also provide periodic trips to area supermarkets and shopping centers to shop for food and stock up on housing supplies. The volunteers also give tours of local sites and rides to the beach on free days. And each month, the support group sponsors appreciation parties for the workers, with food, drink, prizes and fun activities.

Senator Collins is the Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and the Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Senator King is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The senators have consistently pushed for the construction of destroyers, the workhorses of the fleet, by restoring funding for a DDG-51 that was cut from the Navy’s budget in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Defense Appropriations bill and adding a third DDG-51 in the FY23 Defense Appropriations bill.

of the Kittery McDonalds, says, “We are happy to hire and train J-1 workers because they are hard working and reliable employees who bring cultural diversity to our staff. Without them, we would not be able to provide the quick and efficient service we are known for.” Alex’s views are shared by area employers of these young folks who keep businesses open and staffed during tourist season.

On Thursday, May 4, 2:30-4 p.m. at the Kittery Community Center, the group is holding its annual meeting highlighting a variety of topics related to employment, housing, cultural experiences. The public is welcome to attend, and is encouraged to get involved in working these seasonal workers to the area. The Community Center is located at 120 Rogers Road in Kittery.

RSU 21 Restructures Driver Bonuses Ahead of Hiring Event

KENNEBUNKRSU 21 in Kennebunk is facing a challenge that many districts across the nation are facing: a shortage of qualified bus drivers. To address the issue, RSU 21is doing the following to maintain safe transportation for our students: Charter buses have been scheduled to supplement transportation for sports trips, and consolidated bus routes have been implemented to increase utility drivers’ ability to cover routes.

To help solve the immediate need for drivers, RSU 21 is restructuring their hiring bonus incentives. For drivers who already have a CDL with endorsements for school bus, air brakes, etc., the offered bonus is $5,000 for new hires. This bonus will be offered in two equal lump sums, the first awarded to drivers initially hired, with the balance to be awarded at the conclusion of six months of employment. The existing bonus for new drivers who would need CDL training

ASNEE Monthly Meeting

KENNEBUNK -

The Astronomical Society of Northern New England (ASNNE) will hold its monthly meeting on Friday, May 5, at 7:30 p.m. at The New School, 38 York Street, Kennebunk. The business meeting, also open to the public, commences at 7 p.m.

At the April meeting, ASNNE was proud to feature a presentation by amateur astronomer Paul Kursewicz. Back in the mid-1980s, Paul became a member of ASNNE. His special interest is in astrophotography. Kursewicz takes stunning astrophotographs of the stars, using not a telescope, but a point-and-shoot camera on a stand that tracks the sky’s apparent motion. Paul also

is the editor of ASNNE’s newsletter, “Skylights.”

Last year, Kursewicz and his wife took a vacation to West Virginia, where they visited the Green Bank Observatory. Paul will highlight his experiences there at this month’s meeting. He will also share his experiences and photography from a trip to Kentucky. One historical item Paul will share is directly related to a project that he participated in back in 1994, when he was also a member of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO). The Museum also has an outstanding meteorite collection, and an Observatory, which

has been increased from $2,500 to $3,000. This bonus will also be offered in two equal lump sums, the first awarded to drivers initially hired, with the balance awarded after they complete CDL certification, and after six months employment as a bus driver. The existing re-

ferral bonus for employees who successfully refer a new hire has been increased from $1,000 to $2,000.

A two-day Transportation Hiring Event is happening on Wednesday, May 3 and Thursday, May 4, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. The hiring event will take place at the

Kennebunk Transportation Hub, 116 York St., Kennebunk. On that Wednesday, breakfast will be served 9-11 a.m., and lunch will be served on that Thursday 12-2 p.m.

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLSBuddy and Chloe were adopted as kittens from Safe Haven ten years ago. Now, at age ten, they find themselves homeless again due to an illness in the family. To make it even sadder, they were left alone in their home for a week, a major trauma for them.

Cats are social beings. They do not like being away from their loved ones. They feel protective and possessive over their human companions. They are prone to suffer from fear and uncertainty when left alone. Lonely cats, frightened and confused, do not understand why their owner is gone. Their anxiety crests, listening for the footsteps that never come.

This girl will steal your heart – Meet Eva! She is a oneyear-old, tri-colored, Feist/Corgi mix. Eva is about 28 lbs., spayed, and up-to-date on her shots. She came to us from a high kill shelter in Northern Louisiana. She would do well in any family situation. She loves to just follow her person’s lead, and would be a good dog for older kids, or even as a walking/hiking buddy. Kids over eight, and a fenced-in yard are a plus. If you would like to meet sweet Eva, call Emma’s Angels Rescue today!

Buddy and Chloe descended into separation anxiety. Cats need their daily dose of friendship, companionship, and love. Cats love predictable routines: regular meals, familiar sounds and smells. The daily routine of home and family is their solace and their strength.

Now this beautiful pair is back at Safe Haven. As expected, they were at first a little wary, but lately they have allowed themselves to be held and brushed. We know it’s just a matter of time until they will trust again.

Buddy and Chloe are sib-

lings. Both are large and lovely, with white and black coats. They are healthy and benefit from an affordable store-purchased weight management cat food to help regulate their weight. They are friendly and gentle cats who have endured a tragic loss and great confusion. The pair very badly need a quiet, safe home where they’ll have regular meals and quiet activity with someone who will promise to keep them company and care for them no matter what.

The Safe Haven shelter is in great need of clumping cat litter. Please drop off donations at the donation box just outside

KENNEBUNK -

Do you have a soft spot for small animals? Do you think rodents are adorable? Do you love cute and fuzzy pet mice? Then, do we have a story for you!

We recently received 70+ mice into our care. We are here to help animals of all kinds, including pet mice! Now that the mice are at AWS, we’ve separated the males and females (yes, we have some pregnant mamas), and provided them with any needed veterinary care, healthy diets, and lots of toys and enrichments. Many are ready to find their new homes.

As a whole, they are happy, friendly, playful mice that don’t mind being handled. Because many of the female mice are pregnant, there will be even more mousy cuteness in our future.

The best way you can help is by adopting! Visit our website. We have only a few mice listed online, though many more are available. To learn more about the individual mice or our adoption process, give us a call today.

Can’t adopt? Consider a gift from our Wish List to help us care for our many new friends. Like all mice, ours would enjoy toys and tunnels to play with, shavings to burrow under, and yummy snacks like fresh fruits and veggies to munch on.

“Making Water Better!”

WE DON’T MAKE THE WATER... WE

THE WATER BETTER!

NATIONWIDEElectric vehicles (EVs) are being pushed by both auto manufacturers and consumer advocates alike as the vehicles of the future. The market for EVs has grown rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to grow at a fast pace over the coming decade. EV sales in the United States increased from a mere 0.2 percent of total car sales in 2011 to 4.6 percent in 2021.

Although forecasts for the rate of EV adoption over the next decade vary widely given rapid changes in both government policies and the auto industry, many forecasts expect a strong acceleration in EV sales. S&P Global Mobility forecasts electric vehicle sales in the United States could reach 40% of total passenger car sales by 2030, and more optimistic projections foresee electric vehicle sales surpassing 50 percent by 2030.

Despite the growing availability of such cars in the present day, for many drivers, EVs still remain a bit of a novelty, and not always a smart buying option for new car shoppers, especially for rural residents who may not have easy access to a charging station nearby. Buying an EV for the first time can be not only new and unique experience, but a stressful one as well.

Tesla may be the bestknown brand name when it comes to EVs, but it is certainly not the only one. Most major auto manufacturers are now producing their own EV additions to their vehicle lineups. Buyers have more EV options now than ever before, which can make the process of buying one an exciting option, but also one that can be a bit more difficult for the aver-

tech talk

age consumer. Narrowing down the growing number of options may not come easy to first-time EV buyers, but the following tips may be useful when shopping for a new car. Get an idea of the accessibility of charging stations around. The number of public charging stations is on the rise, but there is still a lot of work to be done in this area. In fact, research from McKinsey & Company indicates that nearly half of consumers in the United States indicate that battery or charging issues are their foremost concerns about buying EVs.

The automotive resource Auto Trader notes that most EVs have enough battery range to cover more than an average daily commute. But drivers who hope to use their EVs as their everyday cars to get to work, run errands and get around town should find out where public charging stations are in the area to make that possible.

Look into subsidies. The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy notes that all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars purchased new in or after 2010 may eligible for a federal income tax credit that could be as high as $7,500. State and/or local incentives also may apply.

The Canadian Automobile Association reports that the Government of Canada offers pointof-sale incentives of as much as $5,000 for drivers who buy or lease an EV. These subsidies can help bring the cost of EV ownership down a bit, and are options worth exploring as drivers decide which electric car or truck to buy. Similar buybacks are offered by select dealers and manufacturers in the United States.

“Right to Repair” Legislation

STATEWIDE -

Recently, Sen. Mike Tipping of Orono, introduced LD 1487, “An Act to Ensure That Residents of the State Have the Right to Repair Their Own Electronic Devices,” in front of the Joint Standing Committee on Innovation, Development, Economic Advancement and Business. The bill would ensure that residents of Maine have the right to repair their own electronic devices.

“It has always been understood in this country that when you buy something, it belongs to you. You can use it, you can lend it to a friend, you can sell it, you can take it apart, and you can fix it if it breaks,” said Sen. Tipping. “Mainers, with our sense of independence and frugality, have

Consider parking. Homeowners who own single-family homes with a garage that can accommodate at least one vehicle can easily charge their EVs so long as they clear space in the garage where the car can be parked. Auto Trader notes that some garages may need to be upgraded with a level two charger, and that can be expensive. Drivers who must park their EVs outdoors overnight should know that this, too, may require some additional funds for electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE). Local building codes may govern the installation of such equipment, which is best performed by an electrician. These are some additional costs of EV ownership that first-time buyers must consider and research before they switch to an electric car or truck.

EVs may become the new normal over the next few decades. But before that day arrives, first-time buyers must consider a host of factors as they shop around for their new electric car or truck.

remaining states are considering an expansion of these rights this during their current legislative sessions. Maine’s Attorney General recently signed on to a letter demanding a national right to repair law.

often proudly taken this understanding to its extreme, long extending the useful life of all kinds of items and machines, and refusing to throw anything away.

If you drive down just about any road in my district, you’ll eventually see a sign offering small engine or furniture repair. Unfortunately, some manufacturers have found that they can make more money if they make it impossible to repair certain devices, especially electronic items like phones and computers that have become central to our lives.”

This bill establishes the requirement that a manufacturer of digital electronic equipment sold or used in Maine make available the tools, parts and documentation necessary to repair those electronics. It does not require that manufacturers change the design, marketing or pricing of their devices in any way. Several other states have already passed Right to Repair laws, including New York last year and Colorado this year. Twenty-eight of the

Dr. Elizabeth Chamberlain, Director of Sustainability at ifixit, also testified in favor of the bill.

“We need to slow down the rate of our consumption, and the best way to do that is to make sure we’re getting the absolute most out of the stuff we’ve got,” said Chamberlain. “That means we’ve got to fix it when it breaks. Consumer Reports found that 8 of 10 Americans had replaced a broken smartphone, appliance, or vehicle in the past 5 years, most sooner than they wanted. To make sure that people can fix things when they want to, we’ve got to make sure that repairs are available and affordable. LD 1487 would help restore competition in the repair market, which is a huge first step toward a more sustainable electronics future.”

The bill is moving forward in committee. Additional “Right to Repair” ballot initiatives, including one geared specifically towards independent car repair shops in Maine, are scheduled to appear on Maine ballots this upcoming November.

Marjorie Hoffman, 99

SOUTH BERWICK – On

Monday, April 24, 2023, Marjorie Hoffman left this earth accompanied by the angels from

heaven that she so treasured and loved throughout her life.

Born on June 4, 1923, in Brooklyn, NY, Marjorie was a New York girl through and through. She graduated from Bushwick High School in Brooklyn, NY, in 1941. She met her husband Arthur Hoffman when they worked together in the same business office. They were married on June 1, 1946.

Marge began working in the insurance business shortly after they moved to Warwick, NY, in 1958. She was active as a Girl Scout Troop leader and became president of the local Girl Scout Council. She joined the Insurance Women of Orange County and eventually became president of the organization.

When she retired, Marge and Arthur moved to South Berwick. Marge did not let retirement slow her down. She volunteered at the food pantry in South Berwick, the Bible Speaks Church in South Berwick, and was a volunteer at Wentworth Douglass Hospital for 29 years working in the gift shop and as a patient advocate.

She liked living close to the ocean and had many fond memories of summer days spent there with her grandchildren. She loved having dinner at the Lobster Cove in York and delighted in feeding the seagulls at Nubble Light.

Marge cherished spending time with her family. She loved butterflies, the color purple, and, most especially, angels. She gave out specially blessed angel coins to many people who were in need of a little compassion and kindness.

She was a communicant of Our Lady of the Angels Church in South Berwick.

Marjorie is predeceased by her husband Arthur Sr.; son Arthur Jr.; brother Thomas Ryan; and grandson Terry E. Smith.

She is survived by her daughters, Arlene, and Anita

and husband Paul; grandchildren: Ryan and his wife Randi with their children, Tessa, Maverick, and McKenzie; Scott and his wife Lindsay with their children, Jackson and Amelia; Colleen and her husband Chris with their children, Ethan, Aedan, Ashton, and Avery; granddaughter-in-law Kima Smith and her daughter Teré Joy, and husband Zach with their son Levi; Jonathan and his girlfriend Ilona; Jason; and Lisa; Joy and her son Boz; Chris and his twin sons, Tim and CJ; and Robin and her children, Rex, Lola, and Bo.

Visiting hours will be 9-10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 2, at McIntire-McCooey Funeral Home, 301 Main Street, South Berwick. A mass of Christian burial will follow on Tuesday, May 3, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Angels Church, 162 Agamenticus Road, South Berwick. She will be laid to rest at St. Michael Cemetery in Rollinsford, NH.

In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to make a donation in her name to Wentworth Homecare and Hospice or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. To leave an online condolence for the family, visit www.taskerfuneralservice.com.

Linda Louise Borden Johnson, 83

OGUNQUIT – Linda

Louise Borden Johnson died at age 83 on April 1, 2023, at Legacy Memory Care at Oceanview in Falmouth. She was a longtime resident of South Portland, and a longtime summer resident in Ogunquit, prior to moving to the memory care facility in 2015.

Linda was born to Geraldine Fifield Austin Borden and Chester Ellsworth Borden on December 16, 1939, in Cambridge, MA. She was a 1957 graduate of Newton High School in Newton, MA. In 1961, she re-

ceived a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA. She received a Master’s degree in Religious Education in 1967 from Andover Newton Theological School, commuting from Maine to Massachusetts, often with her two young children in tow.

After moving to Maine in the early 1960s, Linda directed the Sunday school and other youth activities at Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland and began her lifelong commitment to civil rights, social justice, and humane mental health support programs. In 1972, Linda and her husband and two children spent a year in Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, where she taught third and fourth graders at the Big Tree School in Chikore. On returning to Maine, she started her own business: the Discovery Center preschool, which she ran for many years.

She became increasingly involved in local committees and politics in South Portland, and was elected as the city’s first woman city councilor in 1980 and as the first woman mayor in 1985. Following her years on the city council, she was involved in many organizations and committees as a volunteer, such as the maritime museum at Spring Point and various arts organizations. She was a dedicated poll worker in the Sunset Park neighborhood of South Portland, and she enjoyed having a variety of jobs in the community, including working at the old LaVerdiere’s Drug Store on Main Street and in the literacy program at what was then called the Maine Youth Center (now Long Creek Center). In recognition of her many years of dedication, she was awarded the Key to the City of South Portland in 2013.

Linda loved being with people and had many friends of all ages. She loved reading, talking about books, and spending time at the South Portland Public Library. She combined socializing with playing cards, including playing bridge with neighbors and friends and approximately a million other card games with her grandchildren.

She loved being near the ocean, especially sailing in Casco Bay, summers in Ogunquit, and trips to Culebra Island, Puerto Rico. She was fierce about doing the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle and having a beautiful garden at her house on

Rhode Island Avenue. She loved Red Sox baseball and usually listened to games on the radio in the kitchen (with her cat) so that she could be doing 15 other things at the same time. Linda also loved art – she often went to galleries and museums, and she filled her house with paintings and other works of art by contemporary Maine artists.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, husband Birger T. Johnson, and former husband Richard P. Whitney. She is survived by her two children, Rear Admiral Mark R. Whitney, USN (Ret.) and his wife Lisa, and Professor Donna L. Whitney and her husband Professor Marc Hirschmann; two stepsons, Kenton Johnson and Matthew Johnson; three grandchildren, Naomi Linda Whitney-Hirschmann and twins John T. and Austin G. Whitney; sisters, Joanne Moore and her husband David, and Cynthia McKenney and her husband Richard; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

David Surette Mandolin Festival

KITTERY -

Renowned Seacoast musician David Surette would be gratified to know the music festival he began more than two decades ago to celebrate the joy of the mandolin will continue.

The 20th annual Mandolin Festival, renamed the David Surette Mandolin Festival, will kick off with a concert on Friday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Dance Hall in Kittery, 7 Walker St., Kittery. Other workshops are planned for Concord, NH, on May 6-7.

The festival, named after the beloved South Berwick musician who died in 2021, is being organized by his wife and musical partner, Susie Burke, and their daughters, Julianna and Isa, in conjunction with the Concord Community Music School.

Surette was a beloved teacher and mentor at the music school, in his local studio and across the country for over 30 years. “David really loved sharing his enthusiasm for the mandolin and for music-making in general. He was an inspiring musician and teacher, and I was lucky to live, work and perform with him for 35 years. I am so pleased that our daughters Isa and Julianna are part of the festival and will be performing at both concerts with me as well,” Burke said. “Carrying this event forward is such a meaningful

way to honor their dad.”

Over the years, teacher/ performers have come from all across the US and as far away as Italy to be part of the festival. The concerts will showcase the diversity of the mandolin and 2023’s performers, as they play bluegrass, Celtic, French-Canadian, old-time music and more. Californian Marla Fibish, known for her fluid mandolin and mandola playing, will perform original and traditional Irish tunes. Skip Gorman, one of the country’s leading players of Bill Monroestyle bluegrass mandolin, is also a fiddler whose pieces have been featured in several Ken Burns documentaries. Newfoundland native Keith Murphy offers music of Eastern Canada, as well as original tunes played in a lyrical, rhythmic style. Finally, Steve Roy will offer a variety of styles on mandolin, with improvisation and drive being hallmarks of his playing.

Surette started the festival more than 20 years ago as a Saturday of workshops. After just a couple of years, it grew into a two-day event, with four teachers offering workshops, jam sessions, a popular Q&A roundtable, and two concerts.

Tickets for the Kittery show are available at www.thedancehallkittery.org/events. Information on the New Hampshire

shows can be found at www.ccmusicschool.org/david-surettemandolin-festival.

Author Talk: Kasey Rogers and “The Color of Frost”

KITTERY -

Author and advocate Kasey Rogers will be at the Rice Public Library on Thursday, May 4 at 6 p.m., to read from and discuss her novel, “The Color of Frost.”

Nina DeMarco never felt like she really belonged – anywhere. Then she met and married the charming Richard King. Together, they built a life full of hope for the future. Nina believed she’d finally found the se-

curity she had always longed for. But when Richard announces he is divorcing her she’s unsure how she’ll survive. A distraught Nina begins to wonder if the struggle is even worth it. One day she unexpectedly discovers shoeboxes full of old letters in the attic crawl space of her tiny new apartment. Nina becomes determined to find the woman who wrote them. As she unravels one mystery, she uncovers others. Along the way she encounters new friends who help her piece her life back together.

This novel is set in Kittery and includes some historical scenes at Rice Public Library. The cover of the book showcases the title text in very light blue, with frost and ice crystals decorated throughout, and a woman sitting in a white dress on a beach, near shallow waves offshore. A blue tint over the entire image suggests the entire scene is underwater.

Along with her work as a writer, a restaurant owner, and in the New York City film industry, Kasey is the founder of the “I Know Why She Stayed Initiative,” which works to increase awareness on the link between financial and domestic abuse.

Rice Public Library is located at 8 Wentworth St., Kittery. For more information, call 207-439-1553 or visit www.rice. lib.me.us.

“Color, Mood, and Time” Exhibit

It’s Maine Pottery Tour Time

STATEWIDE -

Springtime in Maine can mean daffodils or snow, and sometimes both, but the first weekend in May can mean only one thing – the Maine Pottery Tour is in full bloom!

KENNEBUNK -

The Speers Gallery at the Kennebunk Free Library presents “Color, Mood and Time!”an exhibition of watercolors and acrylics by Kennebunk resident Liz Roper. The exhibit runs May 1-31, and the public is invited to a reception on Tuesday, May 2, 5-7 p.m.

As an undergraduate liberal arts/education major, Roper squeezed as many studio art and art history electives into her schedule as possible. During her time teaching preschool and second grade, creating personalized greeting cards kept her painting. Within a year or two after her retirement in 2013, she started painting with Kennebunk watercolorist Dennis Rafferty, and continues to do so today. She also frequently attends local workshops, including some at the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, and participates in informal “plein air” gatherings. Travel has been a great source of inspiration and is reflected in this collection.

The collection of fourteen paintings in watercolor and acrylics on watercolor paper, spans half a dozen years and a variety of subjects. Roper says, “Painting connects me to moments in time when I was struck by something that made me want to remember the mood

evoked…whenever I view them, the feel of the light and the mood that I experienced at the first moment of being there returns to me. I hope that the viewer makes a similar connection with at least one or two of these paintings.”

Roper has been a member of Maine Women in the Arts since 2013 and exhibits in all their annual shows. She has served as the MWA Exhibit Chair and received an Honorable Mention ribbon for her acrylic “Coffee Break on Congress Street” in the 2016 Awards Show.

The public is invited to view the exhibit May 1-31 in the library’s Speers Gallery at 112 Main Street, Kennebunk, during regular library hours when the gallery is not in use for library programs. For more information, visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.

The 11th annual Maine Pottery Tour welcomes visitors the weekend of Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7. The selfguided tour is an opportunity for the public to enjoy the hospitality of local potters and ceramic artists throughout the state, with studios open to the public. The weekend’s open studio tours give the public a chance to meet the artists, peek in the kilns, see demonstrations, and shop for pottery and other handmade goods.

This year, 66 pottery studios all over the state will be participating, organized into six separate regions. Many studios will feature guest artists and feature talks. The weekend is a fun chance to meet the artists, peek in the kilns, see demonstrations, and shop for pottery and other handmade goods.

The tour’s goal is to make the public more aware of the dozens of potters and ceramics artists around the state, and to cultivate an appreciation and affection for handmade ceramics. Many studios will be serving refreshments from their one-of-a-

kind plates, mugs, bowls, pitchers, platters and casserole dishes, a fun feature that has become standard practice throughout the weekend.

The weekend is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by

the National Endowment for the Arts.

Open studios happen on Saturday, May 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, May 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information and for regional interactive maps, visit www.mainepotterytour.org.

Gordon Jensen to Perform at Bethel Christian

NORTH BERWICK -

Recording artist and composer Gordon Jensen is scheduled to perform at the Bethel Christian Church (BCC), 129 Lower Main St., North Berwick, on Sunday, May 7 at the 10:15 a.m. morning worship service. All are welcome to attend.

Jensen has become an institution in Christian music. The accolades bestowed on him are many, as countless artists have recorded his material and church choirs all over the world sing his songs.

By age sixteen, Jensen was an integral part of the Orrells, a

touring band which later evolved into Gordon Jensen and Sunrise. The well-known “Redemption Draweth Nigh,” which Jensen penned at age eighteen, became the musical theme for the movie “A Distant Thunder.”

Jensen's songs address issues related to the Christian experience with an insight and theological maturity that is unusual in a medium that too often emphasizes style over substance.

Jensen's work defies categorization as it reflects many musical influences and appeals to a wide spectrum of people. Invariably, audiences leave his concerts

OMAA’s 70th Season Opening

OGUNQUIT -

The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) at 543 Shore Road has announced the start of its 70th season on April 29. The museum will be open 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. through November 12. The following four exhibits, featuring artists Ni Rong, Joe Wardwell, Walt Kuhn, and Charles Worley Jr., will be on display.

“Shifting Sands: Beaches, Bathers, and Modern Maine

Art” by Ni Rong will run until July 16. Th exhibition explores the unique place the beach holds in modern art. The sundrenched shore was a place of leisure and a refuge as people of all classes sought escape from the modern city, its pollution, and social constraints. People could gaze at the sea and at the scantily-clad bodies. Sensual if not sexual, swimmers and sunbathers embodied this liberation, this anti-modernity. While the beach continues to have these associations, it is now viewed as a fragile environment subject to a changing climate and human impact. Shifting Sands examines these themes. The show begins with a study of the artists of the Ogunquit art schools in the early

Maine legislators recently announced that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is awarding Maine $5,108,413 to support coastal communities and address impacts of climate change. This funding comes from NOAA’s Climate Ready Coasts Initiative and is funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.

“Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s at our doorstep. Frequent extreme weather events, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity mean communities from Maine to California will continue to face challenges because of the changing climate,” said Senator Angus King and Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who co-sponsored the legislation. “This crisis demands urgent action, and that’s exactly why we worked to pass the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. This significant funding will help protect Maine’s coastal communities, build resilient infrastructure, and support a more sustainable future.”

The funding for Maine is as follows: $1,654,680 for the Maine Department of Marine Resources to improve habitat resilience and community adaptation in Downeast Maine; $156,150 for the University of Maine’s Maine Sea Grant to educate and empower recreational boaters and commercial fishermen and women on ways

This grant is part of the Climate Ready Coast Initiative, which is allocating $562 mil -

lion nationally through NOAA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. The funding will go towards 149 infrastructure projects in 30 coastal states and territories. In addition to the grants recommended for Maine specifically, the Climate Ready Initiative recommends funding for other national and regional initiatives that will benefit Maine.

have not healed in a reasonable amount of time.

With a dedicated, specially trained team of wound care providers and nurses, York Hospital Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine will review the patient’s health history, and order diagnostic tests when necessary to assess circulation. The wound care team, along with the patient, will then establish a comprehensive treatment plan to take steps to heal the wound.

The independent book store has partnered with Libro.fm to give one customer the chance

Triple C Stable Now Offers Therapy Programs

SOUTH BERWICK -

Horses are Cathy Murphy’s passion and thanks to innovative planning, she has found numerous ways to share this passion with others. Murphy and her family own Triple C Stable at 3 McLean Drive in South Berwick.

This year, Triple C will start offering a range of equineassisted therapy programs for veterans and first responders. Called “Freedom Rings,” the programs will include assisted riding, taking care of the horses, or simply being able to spend time at the stables. “Studies have shown that both veterans and first

responders benefit from equine therapy,” says Murphy. “Riding is great, but sometimes just being around horses or being involved with their care is enough. A horse asks little but gives much and working with horses is peaceful.”

YORK -

Acting as a full-service real estate brokerage, Keller Williams Coastal Lakes & Mountains (KWCLM) aims to expand on their already robust footprint of service and value to their clients in the greater York County area. “It’s been an incredible journey” says Nathan Dickey, broker and owner of KWCLM. “Almost 20 years ago we opened as a single location firm with just a handful of agents, and here we are today launching our 12th office, ready

to serve the careers of over 700 agent partners in four states,” added Virginia Frost, Director of Agent Growth and Development in the Southern Maine Region. It’s this continued growth that served as a catalyst to launch the new space in York, with the firm claiming to hold a near 10% stake in the share of homes sold and purchased in southern Maine.”

The near 20,000 square foot location will house the KWCLM office as well as other ancillary businesses that are dedicated to

providing value and service to their real estate clients. Mortgage brokers, attorneys, property management service companies, etc. will all occupy the new Route 1 location. “It really speaks to our commitment to the client,” noted Jeffrey D’Angelo, Team Leader and KWCLM CEO. “Agents of KWCLM believe strongly in the long-term commitment to their relationships, and the greater the value they can provide for their clients through these shared services such as lending, property management, etc., the greater our depth and commitment to the communities here will be.”

For more information, visit www.williamsrealtypartners. com.

According to Murphy, the program will be open to veterans, military members, and first responders and their families and will pair participants with one of Triple C’s rescue horses. “My husband is a veteran so we understand the toll that service can take,” says Murphy. “We are honored to offer Freedom Rings in hopes that it can play a role in guiding fellow veterans and others back to full and healthy lives.” Those interested can contact Triple C to learn more.

Also debuting this year is the opening of The Hayloft, an equine-friendly bed-and-breakfast. The Hayloft offers the perfect equine escape and is adjacent to Triple C’s new indoor riding ring and situated above a two-stall compartment. This lovely space has a full bath with Jacuzzi tub, fully-stocked, top-of-the-line kitchen, sitting room with TV and pull-out couch, and sleeping space for eight.

“We are avid trail riders,” says Murphy, “and we know others who love to travel with their horses and explore different trails. This way, horse lovers can stay at Triple C knowing that

both they and their horses have excellent accommodations. We have wonderful woodland trails here at Triple C and we are minutes from Wells Beach. In the fall and winter months, at low tide, riders can enjoy a wonderful beach excursion. The area is also full of great things to do that don’t involve riding, so people can indulge in other activities knowing that their horses are taken care of.” Those interested can learn more on the website or call for a brochure.

Finally, Triple C has long offered horse- and unicornthemed birthday parties for up to 10 kids, since they have a heated kitchen and are ADA accessible, but now they are expanding into weddings, fundraisers, and other special events. “We are still finalizing the details, but are already looking into weddings where the bride and groom can bring their horses, or the couple can make their exit in a lovely carriage,” says Murphy. “We will be partnering with other local businesses to put on the finishing touches.”

“Triple C stable is a piece of paradise set here in southern Maine and we are happy to share it with others,” she adds. “Being with horses adds happiness to any occasion.”

Triple C is located 3 McLean Drive in South Berwick. For more information, visit www.triplecstable.com or call 603-817-7870.

Not Every Runny Nose is an Allergy

STATEWIDE -

It is allergy time in New England, but not every runny nose is an allergy. Nor is it necessarily the common cold, or even COVID-19. It may be non-allergic rhinitis causing chronic sneezing, congestion or a runny nose. Understanding the difference is important for treatment.

Non-allergic rhinitis, sometimes called vasomotor rhinitis, does not involve the immune system reacting to an allergen. Rather, non-allergic rhinitis is thought to result from environmental irritants –think smoke or smog in the air

Eliot Aging in Place Activities for May

ELIOT -

- or even just overusing nasal allergy medicine. In fact, in many cases, the true cause cannot even be pinpointed with certainty.

Non-allergic rhinitis can cause chronic sneezing, congestion, or runny nose, symptoms similar to those of hay fever (otherwise known as allergic rhinitis), and other conditions, including the common cold, and even COVID-19, so it can be difficult to tell what condition the patient is dealing with - and what treatment to seek.

Generally, colds cause comparatively mild symptoms, and typically do not result in serious complications. A runny or stuffy nose is a prevalent sign of having a cold. In addition, when dealing with a cold, symptoms usually reach their peak within three days. Worried it may be COVID-19? Sneezing is common for both non-allergic rhinitis and for an airborne allergic reaction, though much

more rare in cases of COVID-19. Neither seasonal allergies nor nonallergic rhinitis can be cured, but many people find relief by avoiding triggers, using a saline rinse solution or by taking over the counter or prescription medications. And because the symptoms are so similar between non-allergic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis, allergy testing is often recommended to rule out the latter.

As with all health concerns, seeking an accurate diagnosis is important to managing conditions appropriately. It is always advised to talk to a doctor about symptoms, which can help to finding the right course of treatment, whether that be prescribed medication, an over-the-counter nasal spray, or just plenty of rest.

Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month. The 2023 theme is Aging Unbound, which offers an opportunity to explore diverse aging experiences and discuss how communities can combat stereotypes. AIP invites the public to help promote flexible thinking about aging – and how all can benefit when older adults remain engaged, independent, and included.

Three May events are planned at the Eliot Town Offices. On Thursday, May 11 at 11 a.m., join Shellie Jenkins, PT, MSPT from Reform Physical Therapy for a balance and falls presentation. Falls can happen at any age, time, or location. It is never too soon to learn how to properly avoid falling and how to properly get up. Jenkins will discuss exercises to help avoid a future fall and what risk factors might increase the risk. Attendees will receive a handout with visual and written instructions

and be offered a free individual injury screening that Shellie will schedule for a future date.

On Saturday, May 20, the public is encouraged to stop in at the gazebo at Hammond Park, 1-3 p.m. for music, storytelling, and refreshments. All ages are welcome!

On Thursday, May 25 at 11 a.m., bring a gentle, accessible form of yoga to the day by joining Rochelle Jewel, executive director of Yoga in Action, who will conduct a session on chair yoga for healthy aging. Postures may be done seated in a chair or standing, using the chair as a prop for balance and stability. Chair yoga can help increase mobility and strength, stretch the body, reduce stress, reduce pain and clear the mind. No experience is necessary. Wear comfortable clothing.

Connect. Transform. Heal. Thrive. RSVP is requested but not mandatory, by email aip@eliotme.org or text 1-802-356-5933.

nent collection in this exhibition. Drawing primarily from its permanent collection, the show maps the ways artists responded to the immense social, political, and economic changes affecting life in the United States over a 70-year period: from 1898 – the founding of Charles Woodbury’s school in Ogunquit – to 1968. During this time, Ogunquit emerged as an important hub within a vast network of progressive art schools and communities that connected modern artists across the United States and abroad. Organized into a series of thematic groupings, Networks of Modernism contextualizes the artists who lived, worked, or frequented Ogunquit within a broader story of American modernism. Alongside wellknown examples from OMAA’s holdings, the exhibition presents a number of works on view for the first time.

“The Architect of a Museum” will run until November 12 as well. Seventy years ago, Henry Strater, in partnership with a group of artists and community members, opened the Museum of Art of Ogunquit (now the OMAA). Reflecting on this milestone, this exhibition dives into the museum’s archives to explore the construction of its original 1952 building designed by architect Charles Worley Jr., as well as the inaugural collection that was acquired for the

building’s debut. A selection of the original architectural plans for the museum will be put on view for the first time alongside archival materials documenting the opening of the institution. A group of works gifted by Strater that formed the founding collection of the museum will accompany this display. Together,

this exhibition will bring visitors back to the start of a legacy now 70 years strong.

Admission to OMAA is $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and students, with children under 12 and museum members for free. For more information, call 207-646-4909 or visit www. ogunquitmuseum.org.

Weekly Recipe: Chicken Noodle Soup with Homemade Egg Noodles

For the Soup:

1/2 tbsp butter

2 ribs celery, diced

3-4 large carrots, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

10 cups chicken stock or broth

1 tsp salt, to taste

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper , to taste

1/8 tsp dried rosemary, or more, to taste

1/8 tsp dried sage

1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 batch homemade egg noodles, or 5 cups dry egg noodles, farfalle or other bite-size pasta

3 cups rotisserie chicken

1 teaspoon Better than Bouillon chicken base, or a chicken Bouillon cube

Instructions:

Add butter, celery and carrots to a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Saute for three minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Add chicken stock and season the broth with rosemary, sage, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Taste and add a spoonful of “better than bullion” chicken or chicken bouillon cubes as needed.

Bring broth to a boil. Add noodles, either uncooked homemade egg noodles, or dry store-bought pasta, and cook just until noodles are al dente. If using store-bought noodles, be cautious not to overcook! Remove pot from heat as soon as they are just barely tender. The noodles will continue to cook once you remove the pot from the heat.

Add chicken meat from the rotisserie chicken. Taste the broth again and add more seasonings, if needed.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, depending on the freshness of the chicken.

Homemade stock is easy to make using a store-bougt rotisserie chicken. Strip the chicken, and set meat aside for the soup. Place bones in water, adding salt, celery and any leftover vegetable scraps.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 45 minutes. One cooled, strain. Stock is ready to use, or can be frozen for future use. When using store-bought broth, adding a Bullion chicken base or cube will give the stock better depth of flavor. Look for low or no sodium stocks, and adjust seasoning to personal taste.

Homemade Noodles:

2 large eggs

3/4 tsp salt

2 tbsp milk

1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Mix eggs, milk, and salt. Stir in one cup of flour until smooth. Add additional flour, a small spoonful at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball, but is still slightly sticky. Dump dough out onto a floured surface. Use well floured hands to knead the dough by hand until no longer sticky, about 3-5 minutes. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough out onto a lightly floured counter until very thin, less than 1/4” thick. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutting wheel to cut the noodles into long strips, however narrow or wide according to preference. To cook immediately, add noodles to a pot of boiling water and cook until tender to the bite, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and add to the soup.

“This year’s Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award winners represent an exceptional group of student-athletes whose qualifications encompass a combination of accomplishments in academics, athletics, and human-

itarian service for the benefit of others.,” said Hall of Fame Executive Director Lee Roy Smith.

“We look forward to following their careers and wish them all the best in sports and life.”
