Halloween Fun at Center for

CAPE NEDDICK -

Center for Wildlife, 375 Mountain Rd., Cape Neddick, is excited to be hosting not one, but two, Halloween events this season! The center will be hosting its first adult-focused Halloween mingle at the Adult Halloween Celebration on Saturday, October 22, 4-6 p.m. The annual Trick or Treat with Center for Wildlife, will be held on Friday, October 28, 4-6 p.m.

“The Halloween season is the perfect opportunity to celebrate our iconic regional wildlife species including bats, owls and more! During both our Adult Halloween Celebration and annual Trick or Treat with Center for Wildlife, attendees will get the chance to show off their costumes while mingling with Center for Wildlife ambassador animals. We have a variety of local partner organizations joining us for both Halloween events, helping make both our Trick or Treat and Adult Halloween Celebration a true community celebration,” says Bob Dale, Marketing & Outreach Coordinator at Center for Wildlife.

During both events, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the center’s newly opened Outdoor Ambassador Enclosures. After finally tran-

sitioning all resident animals to their newly built enclosures, the center is excited to finally celebrate the ambassadors’ big move with the public.

At the Adult Halloween Celebration, guests can get their best costumes together – group costumes are highly encouraged – and enjoy a night of fun, including meet-and-greets with Center for Wildlife ambassador animals, a group costume contest, fall harvest activities and tastings from favorite local brewers available for purchase.

At the annual Trick or Treat with Center for Wildlife, ghosts and goblins of all ages are in for an evening of trick or treat fun, Halloween crafts, refresh-

ments and more! The center will have a Trick or Treat trail set up throughout the Nature Center. Kids can stop by candy stations throughout newly-built Outdoor Ambassador enclosures and meet CFW ambassador animals. Refreshments will be available for purchase. Kit Supply & Co. will be running a Craft Corner, with plenty of Halloween crafts, books, clothing and more for sale in pop-up shops.

Tuesday, October 25

While many candidates for office seek and obtain endorsements, I rarely do so because most organizations insist upon candidate effort on behalf of special interest legislative agenda. I do not wish to commit time to such organizations ahead of representing the people of my home town and district. A number of organiza tions provide “scorecards” of legislative records, several of which I have listed. They reliably provide a measure of the partisan position of the candidate. I have also provided excerpts of comments by several organizations, complete copies of which may still be available online. These are not endorsements, but rather provide clear independent comment on my legislative service, much of which has never appeared in local news media. I hope this provides the reader with insight on some of the work I put into my two terms in office. As to the breadth of my service, I appeared before 13 of the 16 regular legislative committees to present 29 bills I sponsored and testified in favor or against other legislation.

Beyond the Roll Calls – Noteworthy Actions

This following was taken from: Maine Conservation Voters 2012 Environmental Scorecard for Members of the 125th Maine Legislature (MCR)

Other bills detailed in the report also contain references to Rep. Brad Moulton.

The scorecard lists a lifetime score of 57, and a score of 73 for the 125th Legislature.

Scorecard votes note YES for LMF bond (LD 852) and NO against rede nition of “aggrieved person” (LD 1647).

LD 1798 was not rated because a compromise amendment permitted passage without a roll call.

In line with the Legislator of the Year award, the MCR Scorecard above noted: “Rep Brad Moulton worked hard in opposition to the dismantlement of the State Planning O ce, and led the ght to preserve a land use team at the state level to assist towns.”

The Maine AFL-CIO 2012 Working Families Legislative Scorecard gave an assessment of Brad Moulton on eight bills it rated, noting that he was the only Republican to vote favorably on three bills, LD 225, a 20 million dollar technical jobs bond, LD-949, a “Tabor” bill that pours a portion of surplus general revenues into a fund that is then used to reduce the income tax rate, and LD 1746, a supplemental budget bill that raided accounts, including the fund for Healthy Maine Families, to rebalance the budget from overruns elsewhere in the budget. The Scorecard noted that he was the only Republican to vote against the LD 1746 budget supplement.

The Maine Municipal Association, among other comments in its report

Takings (LD 1810):

“On the Judiciary Committee, Reps. Brad Moulton, Charlie Priest, and Mike Beaulieu, and Senators Dick Woodbury and Cynthia Dill all demonstrated leadership, providing critical support for a substitute to the original bill. Known as the Moulton-Priest amendment and later the Majority Report, the substitute o ered a balanced approach to addressing landowner concerns regarding property devaluation. Sen. Tom Saviello and Rep. Bob Duchesne also provided valuable input. Reps. Bob Duchesne, Meaghan Maloney, Brad Moulton, Megan Rochelo, Charlie Priest, Kim Monaghan-Derrig, Ed Mazurek, and Chuck Kruger delivered oor speeches in opposition to the Minority Report which threatened to freeze the passage of any future environmental law or regulation.”

on Rep. Moulton’s actions supporting municipalities, noted that he again was the only Republican voting against LD-949. For a full account of this report, see Maine Townsman, June 2012, page 9, a publication of the Maine Municipal Association, which is available on its website, www. memun.org. The other three bills reported on were LD 1903, deconstruc tion of the State Planning Office, LD-1810, the bill noted in the MCR report, above, and LD-1550, a bill to raise filing fees in county registries of deeds, which the Governor vetoed.

The Maine chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), has given Brad Moulton a rating of about 90 in each of his two terms.

Treasures of the Trail 10-11:30 a.m. at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm, 342 Laudholm Farm Rd, Wells. A guided nature walk at the Wells Reserve is a wonderful way to discover animals and plants and the many ways they connect and interact with each other, the estuary, and people. Free.

Beware of Tech Support Scammers

NATIONWIDE -

The Boston Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning that as tech support fraud evolves, the number of people falling victim to the crime is on the rise, and so are financial losses. Investigators are seeing an emerging trend in which tech support scammers are convincing victims that their financial accounts have been compromised and their funds need to be moved so the fraudsters can gain control over the victims’ computers and finances.

In tech support scams, fraudsters pose as customer or tech support representatives from reputable well-known tech companies. They may call, email, or text their targets and offer to resolve such issues as a compromised email or bank account, a computer virus, or a software license renewal. Once they convince victims that their financial accounts have been compromised and their funds need to be moved, they gain control over the victims’ computers and ultimately their finances.

Victims are often directed to wire or transfer their funds out of brokerage or bank accounts to cryptocurrency exchanges, or to transfer the contents of their crypto wallet to another wallet to “safeguard” the contents. Fraudsters will create fictitious support sites to entice crypto owners to contact them directly and convince them to divulge login information or surrender control of their crypto accounts.

Scammers are also asking victims to install free, remote desktop software on their computers to allow them to monitor, manipulate, and perform actions within the victims’ computers such as opening virtual currency accounts

to facilitate the liquidation of their genuine bank accounts.

Legitimate customer and tech support representatives will never initiate unsolicited contact with customers. They will not demand immediate payment or request payment via cash, prepaid gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency either.

According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Compliant Center (IC3), which provides the public with a means of reporting Internet-facilitated crimes, there has been a steady increase in losses by victims in a wide-variety of tech support scams in the last five years.

The reported losses are most likely much higher because older Americans are less likely to report fraud due to the fact that they either don’t know how to report it, are embarrassed, or don’t know they have been scammed.

The FBI recommends the following suggestions for suggestions for protection:

Legitimate customer, security, or tech support companies will not initiate unsolicited contact with individuals.

Ensure computer anti-virus, security and malware protection are up to date and settings are enabled to reduce pop-ups.

Be cautious of customer support numbers obtained via online searching. Phone numbers listed in a “sponsored” results section are likely boosted as a search of Search Engine Advertising.

If a pop-up or error message appears with a phone number, don’t call the number. Error and warning messages never include phone numbers.

Italian Artist Angiolina Pollino at The Lookout

OGUNQUIT -

Italian artist Angiolina Pollino, internationally recognized for her lacemaking, will present a brief history of Tombolo Lace, show some of her creations, and demonstrate the art of Tombolo lacemaking. Pollino will be presenting on Saturday, October 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m and Sunday, October 23, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Lookout, 55 Israel Head Road, Ogunquit. Pollino has lived in Ogunquit for over 30 years. She was born in a small town North of Naples, Italy, where at the age of eight years old, she learned the art of Tombolo Lace, and has been doing it ever since. At 87 years young, Angiolina is still going strong, hand-making beautiful lace designs. Over the last year-and-a-half, she has not only woven the Ogunquit Memorial Library (see photo), but has also created a representation of the

White House and the Flavian Amphitheater “Colosseum” in Rome, Italy. In February 2018, The Weekly Sentinel published an article about her piece, “Twin

Leavitt Theatre to Screen Silent Horror Classic “The Golem”

OGUNQUIT -

“The Golem,” (1920), a German film about a man made of clay and brought to life, will be screened on Saturday, October 29 at 7 p.m. at the Leavitt Theatre, 259 Main Street, Ogunquit. The Halloween-themed program will be accompanied by live music performed by silent film composer Jeff Rapsis.

In “The Golem,” set in 16th century Prague, a rabbi creates a giant creature from clay, called the Golem. Using sorcery, the rabbi brings the creature to life, in order to protect local Jews from persecution. But the experiment gets out of hand, with the Golem imperiling the very community he was created

to protect.

“Taking in a film such as ‘The Golem’ is a good way to get into the Halloween spirit,” Rapsis said. “It helps set the appropriately creepy tone.”

Directed by Paul Wegener, “The Golem” uses surrealistic sets and lighting to create an eerie mood to tell the story, taken from medieval Jewish legend. In addition to directing, Wegener also appears in the film as the main protagonist, the clay creature brought to life.

The film caused a sensation upon its release, and has left a lasting legacy within the movie industry, alongside its contemporary, early German Expressionism horror film, “The Cab-

DOWN EAST EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

inet of Dr. Caligari” (1920).

Architect Hans Poelzig designed the sets, a reproduction of the medieval Jewish ghettos of Prague. Poelzig created the sets specifically for the movie camera, using highly expressionistic imagery. The cinematography of Karl Freund, in collaboration with Poelzig and Wegener, is cited as one of the most outstanding examples of German Expressionism-period cinema.

“The Golem” will be accompanied by live music by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based silent film accompanist who performs at venues across the region and beyond. Using a digital synthesizer to reproduce the texture of a full orchestra, Rapsis will improvise the score on the spot during the screening.

“Films such as ‘The Golem’ were created to be shown on the big screen and in a theater as a shared experience,” Rapsis said. “With an audience and live music, these classic films still come to life in the way their makers intended them to. The silent film screenings at Leavitt

Theatre are a great chance for audiences to experience these films that caused people to first fall in love with the movies,” he said.

“The Golem” is the final installment of this season’s series of silent films with live music at the Leavitt Theatre. The series provides local audiences the opportunity to experience silent film as it was intended to be shown: on the big screen, in restored versions, with live music, and with an audience.

Admission is $12 per person, general seating. For more info, call 207-646-3123 or visit: www.leavittheatre.com. For more about the music, visit www.jeffrapsis.com.

The

Energy Relief for Maine Small Businesses

STATEWIDE -

More than 2,900 Maine small businesses are eligible to receive a one-time utility account credit funded through the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, to offset energy costs.

Small businesses and nonprofit organizations statewide will soon receive a onetime electric utility account credit of more than $2,000 to provide relief from increased energy costs. This relief is the product of legislation sponsored by the Maine Senate, and recently signed into law.

The program, created by LD 2010, Resolve, to Help Certain Businesses with Electricity Costs, offers tiered relief based on electricity usage, and aims to assist small businesses and nonprofits in Maine face increased costs due to volatile global energy prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Funding for the credit is provided through Governor Janet Mills’ Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, through funds allocated by the Legislature for small business relief.

In September, qualified medium commercial customers of CMP and Versant were

invited to apply to claim their credit. Eligible applicants can expect credits to be applied to their account by October 30.

“Increases in the cost of energy are hurting Maine small businesses, and we are stepping up to help,” said the governor.

“This utility credit will provide more than $2,000 in relief to help small businesses deal with higher energy prices, delivering a small measure of relief for our business owners. We will continue to do all we can to help Maine businesses and Maine people deal with high costs.”

“In the middle of an energy crisis driven in part by conflict oversees and corporate greed, we must do everything we can to help small business owners and everyday Maine families. This starts with the tiered energy credit for eligible small businesses,” said Senate President Troy Jackson. “Though there is no silver bullet or perfect legislative solution that we can adopt at the state level, I am hopeful that this credit will provide some muchneeded relief to the convenience stores, locally-owned grocery stores and dairy farms that need it most – businesses with higher energy burdens that are an es-

sential part of rural communities like mine.”

“As I’ve met with businesses across the region, I’ve consistently heard about how high energy costs are adding a significant burden at a time when many are still recovering from the effects of the pandemic and challenges associated with increased costs of goods and labor shortages,” said Deb Neuman, President and CEO of the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce. “I’m grateful that President Jackson and the Mills Administration recognized the need for relief from this challenge and worked to make assistance available to the businesses affected the most.”

The value of the electric utility account credit is based upon electricity usage as billed on invoices issued by CMP and Versant in February, when businesses saw a significant spike in energy costs. Most eligible small businesses – approximately 97% – will receive a credit valued at $2,324. A small number of commercial customers that were billed for using more than 50,000 kilowatt-hours will receive a credit valued at either $4,647.99 or $6,197.32.

This new program builds

on ongoing actions to reduce costs for Maine people and businesses grappling with increased prices for heating fuel and electricity driven by volatile global fossil fuel markets. The state’s Energy Office has updated its winter heating resource guide to help Maine people and families take action to save money, improve their home’s energy efficiency, and find heating assistance. It is now available as a downloadable PDF. For more information about Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, visit www. maine.gov/jobsplan.

Weekly Recipe: Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

4 ¾ to 1 pound sweet potatoes

1 tbsp of olive oil

½ c of shredded Parmesan cheese, about 4 ounces

2 tbsp of butter

3-4 tbsp of fresh chopped chives

1 tbsp of cool whip or whip cream

½ tsp of salt

½ tsp of fresh ground pepper

3-4 oz goat cheese, softened

6 slices of hickory-smoked

bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

Crumbled goat cheese and chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in a foil-lined baking sheet, pierce all over with a fork, and rub them with olive oil. Bake for one hour or until tender. Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees.

Let potatoes stand and cool to handle. Cut potatoes in half the long way and scoop out the potato pulp, leaving about a quarter-inch attached to the skin to help hold together. Place the potato pulp in a medium size bowl and mash. Add parmesan cheese, butter, chopped chives, whipped cream or cool whip, salt, pepper and goat cheese chunks, and mash until smooth. Spoon the potato mixture into the sweet potato skins and place the

filled skins back on baking sheet, skin down. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees until thoroughly heated.

Remove from oven and sprinkle crumbled bacon, crumbled goat cheese and fresh chopped chives as a garnish and serve. Enjoy! Recipe courtesy of Paul Parent Garden Club, www.paulparent. com.

STATEWIDE -

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a highly contagious virus that can be spread in various ways from flock to flock, including through wild birds, contact with infected poultry, equipment, and on the clothing and shoes of caretakers. Starting in February 2022, the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) reported detecting 12 cases of

the disease in domestic birds, all involving non-commercial backyard flocks. DACF found these cases in six counties across the state. Though the DACF has not reported any HPAI cases in domestic bird flocks since June 29, 2022, the virus is still being detected in wild birds.

Wild birds were the most likely source of infection for three cases of HPAI reported in New England domestic birds this fall. The Maine Department

of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) will continue to update its website with information about HPAI in wild birds and mammals.

These wild bird detections, coupled with the fall migration, mean it is necessary to continue following preventive measures to protect domestic flocks and keep birds healthy.

Some key steps remain fundamental to protecting the health of Maine’s domestic birds:

Prevent contact between domestic and wild birds by bringing them indoors or ensuring their outdoor area is fully enclosed.

Practice strict biosecurity measures, including washing

hands before and after handling birds and when moving between different coops, wearing clean clothes, and keeping vehicles clean and free of dirt, manure, and other organic material.

Disinfect boots and other gear when moving between coops.

Do not share equipment or other supplies between coops or other farms.

Health Act Signed

STATEWIDE -

The Maximizing Outcomes through Better Investments in Lifesaving Equipment for (MOBILE) Health Care Act has been signed into law. The legislation provides community health centers with the flexibility to use federal funds to establish new, mobile health care delivery sites to increase access to health care services in rural and underserved communities.

“Community health centers in Maine and across the country play an indispensable role in ensuring that rural and underserved communities receive affordable and quality health

care,” said Senator Collins, who co-sponsored the bipartisan bill.

“The MOBILE Health Care Act will help community health centers further expand their reach to the most rural parts of our state by giving them greater flexibility and allowing them to bring clinics even closer to the patients they serve.”

“I am proud to have worked in a bipartisan way to draft and pass this critical legislation to increase access to quality health care across Nevada and our country,” said Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen, who co-sponsored the bill with Collins. “The MOBILE Health Care law will make it easier for community health centers to take their care on the go with mobile clinics, bringing much needed care directly to underserved and rural communities.”

Health Centers and the 30 million patients they serve, I want to thank Senator Jacky Rosen and Senator Susan Collins for pushing this important bill to extend access to high-quality primary care to rural communities through an expansion of mobile clinics,” said Rachel Gonzales-Hanson, Interim President and CEO of the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC).

“Nearly half of health centers are located in rural and frontier communities, but we know there is still unmet need. Additional mobile health clinics have the potential to leverage the reach of health centers and fully serve hard-to-reach across the country patients.

Everyday Strategies for Healthy Eyes

Eyesight can be easily taken for granted. But when something goes awry, the value of strong eyesight becomes crystal clear. Once diminished sight begins, it is very difficult to get it back without serious intervention, if at all. That is why it is vital to keep eyes healthy and functioning at their peak.

Eye care involves regular vision checkups, but can include a few additional daily practices. The following tips can keep most people on the path to healthy eyes.

Eat for healthy vision. Various vitamins and minerals are needed for healthy eyes, especially those in leafy greens like kale, spinach and collard greens. Fatty fish like tuna and salmon also have been shown to help the eyes, according to the National Eye Institute. In addition, healthy eating can help people lose weight. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of diabetes, which contributes to vision problems.

Say “yes” to a dilated eye exam. Many eye diseases have no early symptoms, so the only way to check for eye disease early is through a comprehensive dilated exam. Getting the eyes dilated for an exam is painless and fast, where specialized eye drops are used to

dilate the eyes. Dilating the pupil enables the eye doctor to see the inside of the eye to check for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal problems. Dilation will typically last for a few hours, depending on the patient. Although uncomfortable for a little while – dilated pupils let in more light, causing squinting and light sensitivity – it is well worth the discomfort to catch any eye disease early. Recent advances in eye care technology now also allow for comprehensive eye exams without the need for dilation. Some eye care professionals already have these new machines in use to conduct a complete eye examination.

Practice frequent handwashing. Washing hands regularly helps keep bacteria, dust and dirt out of the eyes should you touch the face. In addition

to washing hands, avoid rubbing eyes excessively.

Wear UV protection. Ophthalmologists indicate that exposure to ultraviolet radiation increases risk for age-related macular degeneration and may cause sunburn on the corneas, or photokeratitis. UV-protected eyeglasses, sunglasses and contact lenses can help, as will using shade hats or visors. Shade hats and visors are particularly useful in reducing daytime glare and eye strain.

Wear eye protection. When participating in sports, using chemicals during science class or operating equipment like a leaf blower, wear the right protection to keep eyes safe.

Give the eyes a rest. Eye doctors know that many of their patients spend a lot of time staring at screens during a typical day. To provide necessary rest,

doctors recommend following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Protecting eyes is an often overlooked component of maintaining overall health. Taking measures to keep the eyes safe is easy to integrate into a daily health routine, and can result in long-term benefits to overall eye health.

Early Detection Saves Lives

patients, including 376,000 veterans and one in eight children nationwide. Currently, there are small and rural communities in Maine and across the country that do not have the population base to support full-time health centers and therefore do not have consistent access to primary care services.

The purpose of Health Center Program New Access Points (NAP) funding is to improve the health of the nation’s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by expanding access to affordable, accessible, quality, and cost-effective primary health care services. The MOBILE Health Care Act specifies that community health centers may be awarded funds to establish a new, mobile delivery site, regardless of whether they propose to establish a new permanent, full-time site.

WELLS -

What could be better than one or two adorable, healthy, affectionate, happy cats sharing your life? How about three! We have a trio of adult cats that are bonded for life, and who are looking for a family that will recognize what beautiful per-

sonalities each one has. Oscar and Millie are orange and white, while Smokey is a classic calico. Words can’t describe the sweetness of this family. Oscar and Smokey are around five, and their child, Millie, is about two. They’re so attached to each other, they sleep in a pile, one

on top of another, snoozing and grooming. There is absolutely no way Safe Haven will break up this loving family. They’re quiet, clean, and well behaved. So if you are considering adopting three kitties, this family is ideal!

You can tell that the family they used to live with really loved animals, because of their desirable, sweet, and confident temperament. The family surrendered them to Safe Haven because living conditions had gotten too crowded. The family lived in a camper, which was tight enough, but they also had two dogs and a rabbit, in addition to the three cats. Everybody lived in complete harmony, and the kitties became very well-so-

cialized around children, dogs, and bunnies.

If you would like to meet them, call Nancy at 207-2297094. Potential adopters can apply to adopt at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org.

Cat caregivers are needed! Experienced, kind, reliable fosters are in need for kitties that need a home environment before adoption. Our intake numbers have increased significantly and our kitty rooms are full. If you have a separate room and lots of love, Safe Haven will provide

Kittery, ME

We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked ques tions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth.

As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sym pathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased.

Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

late Charlene “Kitty” Caton. Maria is survived by her life and business partner, Bill Millar, his daughter Chloe Fonteyne and husband Cory, and grandchildren, Keira and Isla. Also survived by Michael and Nancy Caton; Juniper and Paul Houser; nieces and nephews Cameron Houser, Gage Houser and wife Erika; Sace and Jackson Caton; great nephews Olliver and Julian Houser, and Aunt Ann Phinney. Maria’s family grew when she met Teresa more than 40 years ago, and their families became one. Maria is survived there by Linda and Barry Jameson, Teresa Herman, Abigail and Daniel Means; children Maya and Franklin, Amanda McClure, Anthony and Alicia

Main; son Isaac, Anna and David Ruoff; children Ian, Savannah, and Dawson. Maria is also survived by Magda, Victoria, and Natascha Millar, Van Fitzgerald, Alexa Erickson, Andrea and Greg Power, and Gordy Millar. Maria brought kindness to all; she loved her family and friends with all she had. She was an amazing caretaker, gardener, cook, party planner, a generous soul, a wonderful partner, stepmother, aumie, sister, aunt, and friend.

A Celebration of Life will be held at York Harbor Inn, 480 York St., York Harbor, on Sunday, October 23, 2-5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Diabetes Association in honor of her mother, Kitty.

the daughter of George Joseph and Jeanette Theresa (Rosatti) Ford, and raised in Babylon, Long Island. When her father was transferred to California, her family settled in Santa Monica, where she graduated from Santa Monica Community College with a degree in marketing. Following her father’s footsteps with American Airlines, she became a flight attendant, which allowed her to travel.

She married Otto Joseph Cusa, September 14, 1963, and once she was married, she was no longer allowed to stay a flight attendant, so she had to resign her position.

It was in Sparta, NJ, she lovingly raised her three daughters and in Nantucket they would summer. The sea was always an important part of Lou Ann’s life. When both her older daughters went off to college in Massachusetts, she decided to move up there as well. She enjoyed many fabulous years living in on Commonwealth Ave in Back Bay, Boston.

While living in Massachu-

setts, she was employed with Colpitts World Travel, where she served as a Client Services Executive Director. Moving to Wells following her retirement, she loved to travel, volunteered with the Ogunquit Playhouse, as well as the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, and loved to walk the Marginal Way.

She is predeceased by her husband Otto Joseph Cusa. Survivors include her daughters, Virginia Thurston (Mark) of Hampton, NH, Suzanne Cusa of Georgetown, MA, and Denise Malek (Thomas Jr.) of Locust Grove, GA; and six grandchildren, Ashley Malek, Sophia Ross, Brooke Thurston, Samantha Malek, Whitney Ross, and Riley Thurston.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, October 29, at 11 a.m. at Holy Spirit Parish/St. Mary’s Church, Eldridge Road, Wells. In lieu of flowers, a Memorial Fund has been established at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and at the Ogunquit Playhouse, where she was a volunteer and docent for many years. Donations can be made to the museum at www.ogunquitmuseum.org/shop/donations, 207646-4909, or by mail: Ogunquit Museum of American Art, PO Box 815, Ogunquit, ME 03907.

missing – that the funeral was depressing.

The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering.

The funeral period provides for the expres sion of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the de ceased, and accept the loss and suffering.

Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies.

The ceremony deals primarily with intellec tual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the

There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy ex tended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased.

We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists.

Catherine Elizabeth Cahill Leonard, 83

WELLS – Catherine Elizabeth “Kay” Cahill Leonard, 83, formerly of Wells and Waterville, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2022.

Kay was born in Silver Spring, MD, to the late Mary (Coonley) and Edmund S. Cahill and grew up in Auburndale, MA. She graduated from Our Lady’s High School and the Boston School of Dental Nursing. She retired from the Water-

ville School Department, where she was an AP/AR Specialist for many years, working with a wonderful group of people who she enjoyed so much. Kay was very active in her kids’ school activi-

ties, social clubs and her church.

Kay and Tom lived a number of places but spent the majority of their lives in the Waterville/ Winslow area until they retired to Wells, and Jekyll Island, GA. They enjoyed great friendships, golf, the beach, travel, and spending time with their grandchildren.

Kay was constantly active in her younger years – playing tennis, cross-country skiing and golfing, until her physical limitations set in, at which point she moved on to swimming, chair yoga, Mahjong, and her favorite low-rider bicycling on the trails of Jekyll Island.

Kay will be remembered most for her warm heart, her

sparkling blue eyes, fun-loving nature and her kind and thoughtful friendship. We will miss our Saint Catherine.

Kay was predeceased by her beloved husband of 57 years, Tom; and sisters, Patricia and Mary, and their husbands, Bill Cantwell and George Brady, whom she adored. She was a loving mother to Tom Leonard and his partner Howard Castonguay of Portland, Mark Leonard and his wife Kim of Cortland, NY, Michael Leonard and his wife Kell, of Palmer, AK, Marybeth Shay and her husband Patrick of Newburyport, MA. She was a dear grandmother
