KENNEBUNK & WELLS -

A year after assembling 354 boxes of Christmas gifts for children who may have never received a Christmas gift before, Holy Spirit Parish in Kennebunk and Wells have set an even loftier goal for the coming weeks.

“We have 450 boxes for this year,” said Lisa White of Holy Spirit Parish.

The initiative, “Box of Joy,” invites participants from Maine to fill boxes with toys and other gifts and return them to the parish by November 10. The boxes are then shipped to children in need living in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, to spread joy and mercy at Christmas time.

“Participants bless children suffering from extreme poverty by sharing the joy of Christmas and planting seeds of hope,” said Lisa.

To participate, pick up a box at either St. Martha Church, 30 Portland Road, Kennebunk, or St. Mary Church, 236 Eldridge Road, Wells, and fill it with items on the recommended list, found at www.crosscatholic.org/boxofjoy. Then, bring the box back to either church.

Please enclose a $9 check made out to Cross Catholic Outreach to cover the shipping costs.

Those interested in volunteering to help assemble and ship the boxes can contact Lisa White at lisafohlinwhite@gmail.com or call 207-351-0502.

Noble Middle School Named Top Winner of Downhill 24 Outdoor Fund

BERWICK -

In honor of the 10-year anniversary of the WinterKids Downhill 24, the organization created the Downhill 24 Outdoor Fund to help get kids outside and active across Maine and beyond. This fund will help to address the barriers to healthy outdoor activity, including but not limited to equipment, clothing, and transportation.

For the inaugural year of the fund, WinterKids is granting $25,000 to four schools which were determined by community vote. Noble Middle School in Berwick is the winner of the top prize of $10,000.

Funds must be used to get more kids outside and active more often. Noble’s physical education program plans to use these funds to: renovate an on-

campus pond as a recreation center for P.E. classes; acquire the equipment needed for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing; make improvements to an oncampus trail for better access to hiking, snowshoeing, and crosscountry skiing; renovate three tennis courts at the school (the only courts in MSAD#60); acquire all necessary equipment to utilize the courts for P.E., and to eventually introduce the sport of tennis at the middle and high school levels.

“The Downhill 24 Outdoor Fund is a direct result of the incredible fundraising our participants do each year to support WinterKids programs and strategic priorities in the community,” said Julie Mulkern, executive director. “Each year, we will use the Downhill

24 Outdoor Fund to break down barriers to outdoor activity, including transportation, equipment, and clothing, to name a few.”

WinterKids reached upwards of 50,000 kids and teachers last year, and plans to do the same in the coming year. The fund helps kids get outside in unique and creative ways.

WinterKids is a nonprofit organization helping kids develop healthy lifelong habits through education and fun

outdoor winter activity. Their main sponsor is L.L. Bean. Supporting sponsors are Agren,

Survey Uncovers

STATEWIDEMost people (62 percent) say that due to rising costs caused by inflation, they are more likely to create DIY Halloween costumes than purchase a new one from a store. This information comes from Goodwill Industries International’s latest annual Halloween survey, which showed how much inflation is impacting “new goods” spending, and how thrift shopping is making a Halloween comeback.

Here are some insights from the survey: Seven in ten Americans say the economic impacts of inflation are limiting their ability to purchase new Halloween costumes or décor

(70%). More than three-in-five surveyed say that because of rising costs due to inflation, they are more likely to create DIY Halloween costumes than purchase from a store (62%). Additionally, 63% of adults are more likely to buy materials for DIY Halloween costumes or décor from thrift stores to reduce costs;. 10% more people will dress up this year, over 2021.

The survey also found this year’s costume trends. The biggest trend is the classics: 29% of costume wearers want to wear an iconic costume, such as a witch, ghost, zombie, or werewolf. 27% of people surveyed are making their selections based on pop culture trends, or a character from a movie, TV show, video game or book. A one-of-a-kind costume was the top pick for 22% of respondents. Two-thirds (66%) of adults say

they or members of their household turn to social media and websites for DIY costume ideas and inspiration. YouTube (28%) and Pinterest (26%) are the topcited social media platforms for DIY inspiration, followed by Facebook (23%), TikTok (20%) and Instagram (19%). Close to half of adult respondents plan to coordinate their costume with someone else this year (45%).

Additional findings from the Halloween 2022 survey include: Three in five households (60%) will have at least one family member who will dress up, up from 52% in 2021; Nearly two in five adults (38%) plan to wear a costume themselves, while 29% have at least one child who will dress up; 11% of respondents plan to dress up their pet(s); Close to half of adult respondents plan to coordinate their costume(s) with someone else this year (45%);

Respondents are most likely to coordinate their costume(s) with a spouse/significant other (22%) or a child/children (18%); Nearly three in five Americans (58%) plan to purchase or create a Halloween costume for themselves or a member of their household, a 10% increase over 2021; The most popular time to start shopping for Halloween costume materials is the first two weeks of October (49%), although 35% will start or already started shopping prior to October; Other popular shopping destinations include dollar stores (47%), arts and crafts supply stores (45%), Halloween/party specialty stores (41%), and big box retailers (39%); four-in-five Americans plan to celebrate Halloween this year (81%), up from 74%, who indicated they had Halloween plans in 2021.

Aside from wearing a costume, the most popular ways people plan to celebrate include giving out candy to trick-or-treaters (47%), decorating their home (38%), and/or attending a party with family/ friends (30%). Three-quarters of respondents enjoy creating DIY décor for holidays or holiday parties (75%).

As in 2021, there is a clear preference for shopping in-store versus online when looking for DIY Halloween costume materials or DIY holiday décor. Among those who prefer DIY Halloween costumes, 64% would rather shop in-store for DIY costume materials, compared to just 18% who prefer to shop online. Similarly, adults

who enjoy creating DIY décor for holiday parties are far more likely to prefer shopping instore (67%) versus online (18%) for DIY décor. Americans will spend the most on costumes/ costume materials this Halloween season, followed by décor and candy. On average, Americans expect to spend $39 on Halloween costumes and materials this season. Halloween décor ranks second in terms of average projected expenditures $29, followed closely by candy, $25. Halloween cards round out the list, with respondents estimating they will spend $7 on average.

Goodwill Northern New England is a nonprofit social enterprise in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Revenue from its 29 thrift stores supports its mission to help people achieve independence and personal stability. For more information, visit www.goodwillnne.org.

About the Goodwill Halloween survey: Big Village, an independent research organization, conducted the 2022 Goodwill Halloween survey between September 16-18. The online poll included a sample size of 1,008 self-selected adults, and responses were weighted by age, gender, geographic region, race, and education. This was done to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population over the age of 18. Since 2014, Goodwill Industries International and Big Village have worked together on Halloween-themed survey research.

YORKSelect artworks by the ten artists published in the coffee

book, “Ten Piscataqua Painters,” are on exhibit at the York Public Library, 15 Long Sands Road, November 3 to December 28. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the public reception for the artists, including a book signing, slated for Tuesday, November 8, from 5 - 7 p.m.

The book is the second in a series of coffee table books dedicated to celebrating the diverse, outstanding talents of local artists in the Piscataqua Region, following the success of “Ten Piscataqua Photographers,” published in 2018.

The ten painters celebrated in the book are Jan Waldron of Rye, NH, whose “The Way Home” portfolio depicts narrative landscapes and figures in oil; Tom Glover of Rollinsford,

NH, with “On The Docks, Fishy Abstractions in Oil and Mixed Media”; Pamela DuLong Williams of South Berwick, with “My People, A Collection of Portraits and Figures in Oil”; Gordon Carlisle, Eliot, whose humorous “Yeah, But Is It Art?” portfolio features acrylic-overfound Paint-by-Number paintings; and Bill Paarlberg, Kittery Point, with a watercolor portfolio called “City of Water and Color.”

The five other artists whose portfolios grace the book are Dustan Knight of New Castle, NH with her abstract landscapes in acrylic called “Abstracting the Place”; John LeCours of Epping with “Harbour Light,” featuring atmospheric harbor and river scenes of the Piscataqua in oil; Jayne Adams of Rochester, NH, with “Everybody,” highlighting the human figure in oil; Hampton,

Painters”

NH artist Wolfgang Ertl with “Waterlands,” a portfolio with a range of waterscapes in pastel; and Beth Wittenberg of Rochester with her edgy portfolio “Pandemic Blues,” a collection emphasizing abstract expression in mixed media.

Created and helmed by re:Ports co-founder and publisher, Phillip Augusta, “Ten Piscataqua” was started as a way for the community to discover, explore, and celebrate outstanding local talent in the visual arts “one coffee table book at a time.”

“Ten Piscataqua Painters” is the second book in that series, and introduces the diverse worlds and visions of ten regional contemporary painters using a variety of painting styles, media, and subject matter.

“Members of the visual arts community come together in this book in various ways,” said Augusta. “The paint-

ers contribute their paintings; creative professionals invest time and talent to produce and market it; friends, fans, and art lovers collect and gift copies of it; and art patrons (businesses, organizations, and individuals) support our crowdfunding efforts with generous donations because they recognize the community benefits of supporting local talent.”

Paul Hodes. Paul Hodes. Why does that name sound so familiar? Could it be because of his tenure as a Member of Congress from New Hampshire? Perhaps it’s due to his recent successes on WKXL radio and national podcast airwaves on his suite of shows: “Capitol Close Up,” “Beyond Politics,” and “Balance of Power.”

“When I saw the documentary ‘Get Back,’ it reminded me of my ‘get back’ evening with John Lennon, in an unscripted

and unguarded moment. The song ‘The Night I Met John Lennon’ just emerged as both a memory and a caution. You’ll hear about John, Yoko and even Andy Warhol. The Blue Buddha Band, Jon Gabay on Bass, Dean Rubine on Keys and, Ed Raczka on Drums and I spent the better part of a year recording our new album. We’re looking forward to sharing our original material with audiences” Hodes said.

The exhibit runs from November 1-30, and the public is invited to an artist’s reception on Tuesday, November 8, from 3-6 p.m.

Andrea is a trained classical

pianist, with advanced studies in film and photography. She has also informally been, since childhood, a student of textile arts,

mostly knitting and crocheting, and later on, with woodworking, printmaking and figure drawing. She enjoys dabbling in a variety of art forms and says, “I feel such joy in making something from nothing, whether it’s a gazpacho made from produce picked up at a farm stand, a gypsy scarf made from a leftover wool, or a painting using some discarded paints and wood.”

Her memberships in various arts organizations include Ossining Arts Council, River Tree Arts, and Maine Women in the Arts. Her work has been shown in a number of galleries in the greater New York area, as well as a few in southern Maine, with her first solo show in Maine at the Kennebunk Free Library’s Speers Gallery.

Andrea is delighted to have moved a part of her focus to Maine and its spectacular landscapes, and the Kennebunk Free Library is pleased to display the work of this talented artist.

The public is invited to view the exhibit in the library’s Speers Gallery from November 1-30, at 112 Main St., Kennebunk, during regular library hours when the gallery is not in use for library programs. For more information, call 207-985-2173 or visit visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.

Free Drawing Demonstration

KENNEBUNK -

The Art Guild of the Kennebunks (AGK) is pleased to announce artist Steve Hrehovcik will present a free caricature drawing demonstration on Sunday, November 6 at the Dane Street Program Center, 4 Dane Street, Kennebunk. The demonstration takes place, 2-4 p.m.

A Kennebunk resident, Steve is a recent award winner in the annual Art Awards Exhibit in the multimedia category. He has been drawing caricature for many years, along with illustrating more than a dozen children’s books and business publications. He works in acrylics, pastel and pen-and-ink. In addition to caricatures, Steve enjoys illustrating homes and buildings, equestrian and pet art, scenic views, lighthouses and boats.

“Caricatures are fun to draw,” says the artist. “The secret is to capture the likeness of the ‘victim’ (subject) and find playful ways to exaggerate their features. I also like to depict jobs, hobbies and other points of interest in the drawings. I’ve found caricatures have made wonderful birthday and holiday gifts.”

In addition to his artwork,

Hrehovcik is a freelance writer, with more than 900 feature articles in newspapers, magazine and business publications.

He has written a book, “Rebel Without A Clue - A Way-Off Broadway Memoir,” worked as a ghostwriter, edited memoirs and newsletters, and created marketing, advertising and public relations materials.

He has also taught drawing and writing classes.

“Steve’s caricature drawing demonstration is just one of the many programs the Art Guild of the Kennebunks offers,” said AGK president Linda Van Tassell. “The guild is made up of professional artists who display their work in a number of exhibits throughout the year.”

Also on display will be “Spring Surprise,” a watercolor by Peter Hoff, which is the prize of the guild’s annual scholarship raffle. The raffle benefits a talented, deserving art student at Kennebunk High School with a $500 scholarship.

Raffle tickets can be purchased at any of the Guild events throughout the year. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn at the end of the Prelude exhibit in December.

11th Annual “POE: Tales of Fear & Suspense” Opens

CAPE NEDDICK -

He’s baaaack! Local actor Kirk Simpson, reprises his role as the Master of the Macabre, Edgar Allen Poe, in “POE: Tales of Fear & Suspense,” for six shows at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant, kicking off with a sold out show on Monday, October 31 at 6 p.m. Captivating audiences with his spooky-good dramatic readings, Simpson as Poe hosts an annual unique and intimate dining experience with sinister storytelling that is not to be missed.

In 2012, Simpson joined forces with Clay Hill Farm Res taurant to create “Clay Hill Farm Presents...,” a monthly series of one-man shows with experiential dining, starring Simpson himself. At “Clay Hill Farm Presents…” this season, Simpson takes the stage once again as Edgar Allan Poe in “Poe: Tales of Fear & Sus pense,” with terrifying tales such as “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” “The Raven,” and more. The audi ence sits mesmerized, heartbeats pounding in ears, by Simpson’s sometimes maniacal perfor mance. He weaves in and out of the audience, telling the story of that “vulture-eyed old man” and the beating of his incessant heart, descending into madness with theatrical brilliance. “I love to see the audience’s faces as I tell this particular story,” says Simp son. “Seeing them squirm in their seats, especially while they enjoy exquisite fare such as Clay Hill Farm’s famous prime rib, while I weave a tale of pre-meditated murder ... it’s fantastic.”

Having a well-established background in interactive theater, improvisation, theater and musi cal theater, Simpson has brought the likes of Edgar A. Poe, Charles Dickens, Robert Frost, Benjamin Franklin and many others to the Clay Hill Farm Restaurant “stage”. “Interactive theater is my love!” says Simpson. “Get ting off stage and into the audi ence, creating imaginative and bold character choices that pull your audience into the story, is so gratifying.”

Simpson will continue per forming at Clay Hill Farm in De

cember with “Dinner with Dick ens,” an evening with Charles Dickens and a reading of “A Christmas Carol.” Kirk also per forms as Robert Frost in in Feb ruary and Ben Franklin in April.

Kirk Simpson started per forming in 1985, when he began his career in acting at a local Re naissance Faire in Largo, Florida. From there, the years were filled with Renaissance Faires across the east coast, musical theater, theater, children’s theater, inter active themed events and much more. Simpson currently resides in South Berwick with his hus band and family.

Tickets are $25 per person, plus the cost of food and bever

age. Reservations are required. For more information and show times, call 207-361-2272 or visit www.clayhillfarm.com.

Carving jack-o’-lanterns is a fun Halloween tradition that both adults and children can enjoy. It’s hard to resist an opportunity to carve a funny or scary face onto a pumpkin that will soon make its way to the front porch, but there’s another irresistible element to carving pumpkins as well.

Roasted pumpkin seeds make for a tasty, tempting Halloween treat. Seeds must be removed before carving pumpkins, so turning them into a sweet or savory snack is a great way to make use of them and cook up some fuel for family carving sessions.

Roasting pumpkin seeds is a straightforward process, though some people may have

their own techniques to make seeds more flavorful. The following recipe reflects various ways to prepare this delicious snack, ensuring that people with varying tastes can no doubt find a way to incorporate their favorite flavors into this Halloween staple.

Pumpkin Seeds

Seed the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Using a spoon, scrape the pulp and seeds out of the pumpkin into a bowl.

Clean the seeds: Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water, then shake dry. Don’t blot with paper towels, as the seeds will stick.

Dry them: Spread the seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and roast 30 minutes to dry them out.

Add spices: Toss the seeds with olive oil, salt and any choice of spices, see below. Return to the oven and bake until crisp and

Festive Pies for Halloween Party Fun

STATEWIDECandy may be a mainstay of Halloween celebrations, but other desserts also can make festivities even more enjoyable - especially when those desserts coordinate with a Halloween theme.

The word “chibi” means “short and chubby” in Japanese, but it also has expanded to refer to characters with especially cute, babylike features. The chibi style lends itself well to jack-o’-lantern designs, which

many people already find to be cute, short and chubby. Making a jack-o’-lantern-themed pie is even easier when pumpkin, an especially popular flavor this time of year, is the pie of choice.

Find a favorite pumpkin pie recipe, or purchase a store-made one along with some refrigerated pie dough to add some Halloween flair:

Coat the pieces in the egg wash using a pastry brush. While the dough is still wet, use a fondant sculpting tool to score some lines on the stem and the leaf.

Paste the leaf to the stem with your egg wash, then cut out three thin strips of dough to make vines. Coat these in egg wash and coil them around the stem and leaf.

Maine Medical Center (MMC) and its nursing team have achieved the American Nurses Credential Center (ANCC) Magnet Recognition® status for a fourth consecutive time. The Magnet Recognition Program is considered the gold standard for nursing quality, recognizing health care organizations that both demonstrate nursing excel lence and disseminate successful nursing practices.

Hospitals must undergo a rigorous application process for Magnet Recognition, with writ ten documentation of nursing quality and the success of hos pital systems and processes that nurses support. The ANCC also conducts site visits to assess the hospital’s overall nursing excel lence. Fewer than 10% of hospi tals achieve Magnet Recognition.

“This recognition from the ANCC independently affirms the high quality care our nursing team provides and our extraordi nary commitment to advancing the standards of practice for the nursing profession,” said MMC Chief Nursing Officer Devin

Carr, DNP, RN, RRT, ACNSBC, NEA-BC. “As all patients know, MMC’s nursing team rep resents an incredible resource for the health and well-being of our community and it is extremely rewarding to receive this recogni tion that shows our nursing team is clearly one of the very best in the country.”

During the ANCC site visit, appraisers noted the teamwork that MMC nurses displayed in tackling complex problems, such as workplace violence preven

tion, and praised the hospital’s improvement processes and clini cal nurse advancement program. MMC previously earned Magnet Recognition in 2006, 2011 and 2017.

As a nonprofit institution, Maine Medical Center provides nearly 23 percent of all the charity care delivered in Maine. MMC is part of the MaineHealth system, a growing family of health care services in northern New Eng land. For more information, visit www.mmc.org.

Black cats are often consid ered a superstition and are often less likely to be adopted from shelters. In reality, many cultures have different beliefs about black cats. In fact, seeing a black cat has been associated with luck—both good and bad—for thousands of years. As people prepare to cel ebrate Halloween this upcoming weekend, here are a few facts to bust common stereotypes about these loveable kitties.

Where do black cats come from?

Black cat superstition in Western culture dates back to Ancient Greece. According to Greek mythology, Zeus’s wife Hera once transformed her ser vant, Galinthias, into a black cat as punishment for impeding the birth of Hercules. Galinthias went on to become an assistant to Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, and black cats have had unique

We hope you have an en chanted Halloween and keep your pets inside to prevent any pranksters from causing them harm. Special caution is impor tant this time of year, as history proves Halloween to be a danger ous time for innocent creatures of any species. Let’s keep this holiday safe for everyone!

Funny to be talking about a kitten named SPRING at this time of year, but this little 5-month-old darling is ready for a home of her own. She and her family lived in an abandoned house, where a kind person start ed feeding them. Shelters are full now and space is very limited, but when Safe Haven had an opening, we took in this sweet little family. Each was given its medical needs and are now ready for adoption.

Spring is adorable with her black and white coat. Her white paws have black freckles sprin kled all over them. She’s still a little shy, but has already come far, and she will go even further with the love and security of a family of her own.

What a joy this little sprite will be to watch, as she plays with wand toys and spring toys and fuzzy little mice toys. She loves to interact with other kitties and would benefit from having a feline sibling that is welcoming

to her and will be her play friend. Older children who are kitty edu cated will be a nice fit as well.

We are currently out of food for the colony cats we are trapping. This expense puts an additional $800 strain on the monthly food budget. Food do nations of food would certainly be a big help! Please bring canned Friskies paté of any flavor, to either of our locations. We cur rently do not need dry kibble. Thanks so very much!

Our shop at 1784 Post Rd in Wells is enjoying the reopening of Scaredy Cat School, where a family of three resides happily, with the hopes of being adopt ed together. Come meet Oscar, Millie and Smokey, as well as little Leilu, who has been added to the schoolroom!

Our shop is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. We accept donations on Saturdays from 12-3 p.m. We are looking for small tables, vin tage and antique pieces, warm like-new clothing, warm blan kets and throws, flannel linens (please indicate the size), new or like-new items for holiday gift giving, and home décor items.

meanings and associations in various cultures ever since.

Myth: Seeing a black cat brings bad luck

Everybody had most likely heard the myth about bad luck when a black cat crosses your path. Although the origin of this common myth is uncertain, it may have to do with the cat’s slick demeanor. A black cat’s sly move ments might suggest to some su perstitious spectators that they’re up to no good.

Black cats are actually con sidered good luck in many cul tures. In Scotland, it’s lucky for a strange black cat to arrive at the doorstep. In Japan, black cats are thought to help single women find suitors.

Myth: Black cats are witches

Many early American set tlers believed in witches who could take the form of a black cat. This would allow them to

sneak around unnoticed as they performed their magic spells. It was also believed that a witch could shapeshift into a black cat up to nine times, which may have something to do with the belief that cats have nine lives. In much of today’s pop culture, black cats are often featured as either a witch themselves or as a witch’s familiar.

Myth: You shouldn’t adopt a black cat

Black cats have some of the lowest adoption rates and high est euthanasia rates in shelters across the United States. Shelters often have a difficult time finding adopters for black cats. Rescues and shelters often feature photos of their adoptable cats online, but black cats are more diffi cult to photograph than lightercoated cats, and often do not get featured. Potential adopters may also perceive black pets as less

Hi Weekly Sentinel read ers! Happy autumn! My name is Bella and boy oh boy am I happy it’s fall! There’s so much to do for an energetic dog like me when the weather starts to cool and the leaves begin to change.

For starters, I love to go for hikes! You might have caught my previous story on social media where I went for a day long hike with a staff member and friend of mine, in which case you know I love to go, go, go! No time to stop and smell the flowers for me, it’s full steam ahead! However, that doesn’t mean I don’t stop to ap preciate things once in a while. I mean, I was more than happy to do an autumn photoshoot here at AWS! I got dressed up, sat in a wagon, sniffed some pumpkins, and enjoyed the scenery. I just like to make people happy!

Now that fall is here, I would love for my perfect family to come and find me. I want to take crisp walks, eat apple cook ies, snuggle on the couch to a scary movie, and celebrate the season before it passes. I know you all can appreciate the sim plicity in that! You see, I prefer my new home have no cats and I am particular about the canine friends I make, but I will always be loyal and loving to my humans. I read social cues very well, listen politely, sit for treats, and live to be by my people’s

side. I was born to be man’s best friend! So, what do you think? Want to navigate this season and life with me? Just think of the places our friendship would take us.

friendly than lighter-coated pets solely based on a photograph. Some shelters even stop adopt ing out black cats in October altogether in fear that they’ll be used in Halloween pranks.

Those statistics shouldn’t discourage a potential adopter from adopting a black cat. Meet ing a potential pet in person is the best way to gauge if the cat is the right fit. That “purrfect” match just might be a sweet black cat waiting at a local shelter.

Once the base pie has cooled and is ready to serve, add the sanding sugar in any variety of color combination desired. The final step is adding the face. To get a true “chibi” effect, place the eyes below the center line of the face.

STATEWIDEDrug Take-Back Day is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 29 at multiple sites across the state. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King recently announced the locations of the Maine collection sites in a joint statement, saying:

“Unused prescription drugs that collect in our homes can accidentally fall into the wrong hands, creating unintended gateways to opioid addiction. Maine is one of the top ten states disposing prescription drugs through the DEA’s Drug Take-Back Program, and we are confident that our state will continue to lead efforts to

stop the misuse of unused drugs that pose a serious threat to our children, our homes, and our environment.”

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. In 2020, the collection sites began accepting vaping devices and associated substances.

At a previous Take-Back Event this past April, federal, state, and local government entities took back more than 721,000 pounds of unused, expired, or unwanted drugs at more than 5,100 locations across the

United States. Over the course of the program, more than 15.9 million pounds of prescription drugs have been safely collected across the country, including over 525,000 pounds of medication in Maine alone.

Federal regulations allow pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and other authorized collectors to serve as collection points for unused prescription medication. In 2014, following a bipartisan effort led by Senators Collins and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the Department of Justice granted

the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) the ability to participate in prescription drug take-back programs at DoD and VA facilities. This initiative has helped to address the role of prescription drug abuse in many military and veteran suicides.

In 2018, a sweeping opioids package, known as the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, was signed into law.

Senator Collins, a member of the Senate Health Committee, authored two provisions included in the final legislation that help ensure that unused prescription drugs do not fall into the wrong

hands and bolster peer support networks for long-term recovery. The legislation also included provisions championed by Senator Collins and Senator King to expand opioid treatment capabilities, including a permanent authorization for nurse practitioners and physicians assistants to provide medication-assisted treatment and a provision that removes an arbitrary limit to allow residential treatment facilities to expand their efforts to save lives.

Hygienic Alternatives to Apple Bobbing

STATEWIDE -

People who were born in the early 1980s and earlier likely spent some time bobbing for apples each fall. Bobbing for apples long has been a classic autumn activity, yet today’s children may not know what it entails.

Bobbing for apples is a tradition that began in Europe hundreds of years ago as a courting ritual or a way to see who would get married next. When Europeans settled in the United States and Canada, they brought their apple bobbing traditions with them. However, over the years, bobbing evolved from an activity geared around romance to one focused on fun for children.

Apple bobbing has largely fallen out of favor as more parents zeroed in on the potential yuck factor of having several mouths and noses dunked into the same bucket of water trying to grab a Red Delicious or Granny Smith. The pandemic also undoubtedly made some people skeptical about the safety of apple bobbing. Thankfully, there are alternatives for those who want to enjoy the spirit of apple bobbing without spreading germs.

Safety

or costume parties, we want everyone to know where potential fire risks exist so they can take the steps needed to minimize them,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA.

According to NFPA, between 2014 and 2019 an annual average of 770 home fires began with decorations catching on fire, resulting in one civilian fire death, 26 civilian fire injuries and $13 million in direct property damage. More than two of every five (44 percent) of these fires occurred because the decorations were too close to a heat source, such as a candle or hot equipment.

NFPA offers these tips and guidelines for enjoying a fire-safe Halloween:

Decorations

Many common decorations like cornstalks, crepe paper, and

dried flowers are very flammable. Keep these and similar decorations far away from any open flames or heat sources, like candles, heaters, and light bulbs.

Candles

Using candles as decoration can be risky if not done correctly. Keep them in a well-attended area out of the path of potential trick-or-treaters. Remind children of the dangers of open flames, and make sure they are always supervised when candles are lit. Extinguish candles before leaving an area.

Jack-o-lanterns

Glow sticks or electric candles are the safest choice for lighting a jack-o-lantern, so use extreme caution when using a real candle. Light a candle inside a jack-o-lantern using long fireplace matches or a utility lighter, and keep it away from other decorations.

Costumes

Avoid fabric that billows or trails behind, as these can easily

ignite. When making a homemade costume, avoid loosely woven fabrics like linen and cotton, which can be very flammable.

Visibility

Give children flashlights or glowsticks for lighting. These can even be incorporated into the costume. Make sure the eye holes on children’s masks are large enough for them to see clearly.

Smoke Alarms

This is a great time to make sure smoke alarms are functional

and up to date.

Exits

Exits are not an appropriate place for decorations. When decorating, ensure that nothing is blocking any escape routes.

“With a little added awareness and planning, people can enjoy a fun-filled Halloween and stay fire-safe in the process,” said Carli.

Program to Strengthen Startup Companies

STATEWIDE -

Governor Janet Mills re cently announced the open ing of a $5 million grant pro gram through the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, which aims to strengthen Maine entrepre neurs, startups, and small busi nesses. This program represents the second round of grants from the Pandemic Recovery for an Innovative Maine Economy (PRIME) Fund, administered by the Maine Technology Insti tute (MTI).

This past August, the governor announced the first round of PRIME grants, which awarded nearly $23.3 million to 174 Maine-based technology companies to help them recov er from the pandemic, invest in new products and business lines, attract new customers,

and create long-term economic growth.

In this current round of funding, MTI will provide grants to organizations who support Maine’s targeted tech nology sectors, which include biotechnology, composites and advanced materials, forestry and agriculture, marine indus tries, precision manufacturing businesses and more.

Governor Mills announced the latest grants recently during visits to Nyle Systems in Brewer, a manufacturer of heat pump technology, and Mobile Price Card of Bangor, a software developer for retailers, each of which received PRIME grants during the first round.

“Our first round of grants provided critical funding di rectly to small businesses to help them expand. This second round of grants will support the efforts of established businesses who provide important advice, mentoring, and other guidance to entrepreneurs and startups in Maine, to get them off the ground,” the governor said. “Taken together, these PRIME grants will help Maine’s entire business community create good-paying jobs right here in Maine.”

“Maine has an amazing system of supports for small

businesses,” said Commissioner Heather Johnson of the Maine Department of Economic & Community Development. “This PRIME funding will help leverage existing resources and address gaps to ensure that en trepreneurs have the tools they need to succeed.”

Applications for the latest round of grants is due to close on November 15. To be eligible for a grant, organizations must articulate how they will sup port startup companies and small businesses as they scale in Maine. This round of PRIME grants includes a competitive application process which re quires matching investments by applicants. MTI anticipates that individual awards will be up to $750,000.

Diane Charmaine,

OGUNQUIT – Diane Charmaine left our world on June 7, 2022, to be with her youngest son in heaven, Shaun Tierney, following a three-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Named after the vaude ville-era songs “Diane” and “Charmaine,” Diane Charmaine Gadauas was born to two French Canadian musicians on Decem ber 18, 1944, in Holyoke, MA.

She spent her entire life performing music and dedicat ing herself to helping people. Her first gig at age fourteen was as the pianist at Dolly’s Dance Studio and she continued as a successful full-time musician for the follow

ing sixty-one years. After getting married, settling in the Hartford area, and starting a family in the late 1960s, Diane gained notabil ity in the mid-1970s and early 1980s as the pianist and vocalist in “Free Flight,” which toured regionally and served for several years as the house act at The Blacksmith’s Tavern in Glaston bury, CT. After raising two sons in Glastonbury, she started a solo career in which she toured exten sively and released four albums.

In the early 1990s Diane trav eled to Ogunquit, for a ten-week summer gig, and she never came back. She quickly established her self as the area’s prominent musi cian and reigned as the most pop ular piano/vocalist in the region.

She was the house musician at the Kennebunkport Inn for sev enteen years and had the privilege of performing privately on several occasions for President Bush Sr. and Jr. at their Kennebunkport estate. The last decade of her life and career was spent touring New England, performing what she called music for “people of my generation” – music from the 1930s through the 1960s, in retirement communities and, ironically, Alzheimer’s facilities. For several years, she performed at these venues with her small dog, Sam, whom she trained to

Her radiant personality was magnetic, and those who knew her were affected by her. Diane was a natural born musician and performer, but her biggest pride was her sons and grandsons. Diane Charmaine is survived by her son, Michael Tierney, and her grandsons, Brendan Tierney and Evan Tierney. A celebration of her life will be held on November 6 at the Glastonbury Boathouse in Connecticut. To RSVP, email mike@audiomediasolutions.net or call 860-643-9407.

Rachel was a mother to everyone. You walked into her house and felt her love in the form of homemade cooking; her homemade soup and clas sic baked bread were favorites for many. Nothing made Rachel happier than having the family around the kitchen table, where laughs were shared, cards were played, home cooked meals eaten, and memories made.

She was the glue that held the family together during the most difficult of times. Her family would gather on the lawn for wiffle ball or a classic game of croquette. Her farm porch was one of her favorite spots.

Rachel is survived by her children: Robert (Linda) Dupuis of North Berwick, David (Nancy) Dupuis of West Newfield, Mi chael (Katharine Booth) Dupuis of Eliot, and Donna (Daniel) Flint of Sanford; daughter-inlaw Susan Hatch Dupuis of Ken nebunkport; sister Claire Binette of Biddeford; 15 grandchildren; and 28 great-grandchildren.

BARB

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

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.

Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

Kenneth W. Erikson, 73

CAPE NEDDICK – On Saturday, October 15, 2022, Ken neth W. Erikson passed away at the age of 73.

He was born to Adolf and Aide Erikson in Boston, MA, on June 2, 1949. Ken attended Norwood High School where he graduated in 1967. He went on to obtain his college education at Purdue University and the Uni versity of Massachusetts where

One of Ken’s passions was golf. He spent every oppor tunity he could on the course and enjoyed playing competi tively. Whether it was playing a casual round, club tournaments or a scramble, Ken loved every aspect of the game. His fondest memories came with the time he spent on the course with his good friends and family. Playing with his Amherst golf buddies, his sons and grandkids was time he always treasured.

Ken’s friends were such an important part of his life and he was incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful, caring people around him. Some of his most revered time was traveling, va cationing, golfing and relaxing alongside his friends. He cher ished those friendships deeply and the memories that were shared.

Ken never took himself too seriously and always seemed to bring out the best in people. His endearing nature and positive at titude always rubbed off on those around him. If you were ever fortunate enough to spend time with him, you always walked

(and maybe an inappropriate joke or two).

Ken leaves behind his wife of 49 years, Carolyn, whom he married in 1973. Ken and Carolyn spent a large portion of their life in Amherst, NH, before settling in their current home in Cape Neddick. Ken had two sons, Chris and Cory. Ken was incredibly proud of his children and enjoyed coaching both sons in the Amherst Soccer Club program and watching them play competitive tennis. Ken spent many weekends traveling around New England and beyond bringing his sons to various tennis tournaments which brought him great joy.

Ken will be missed dearly

by the remainder of his family. His grandkids, Calvin, Grant, Zachary, and Reed, all loved him very much. He leaves behind his brother Keith Erikson with wife Debbie Erikson of Tequesta, FL, and sister Diane Zaia with husband John Zaia of Acworth, GA, and their respective families. He was predeceased by his parents Adolf and Aide Erikson, and his brother David Erikson. Ken’s memory will live on through his family and all of the wonderful friends, colleagues, and acquaintances he knew along the way.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Plus Company, 19 Chestnut Street Nashua, NH 03060. A celebration of life is being held Thursday, November 3, 2-5 p.m. at the Cliff House Grand Ballroom, 591 Shore Road, Cape Neddick.

Hanging apples

Tie strings to the stems of apples and hang each individual apple to a clothesline. Without using their hands, participants must consume the majority of the apple of their choosing. Whoever finishes first wins a prize.

Bobbing individually

One workaround to create more hygienic fun is to give party participants their own separate bowls or buckets for bobbing. Plastic beverage tubs at dollar stores are inexpensive and readily available. Fill them up with water and float two or three apples in each. Then the race is on for each participant to snag some apples.

Grabbing for apples

Kids need not use their jaws to grab apples. Kids can use small spoons, chopsticks, a spatula — anything you can think of — to make it challenging to grab a floating apple.

Symbolic ‘apple’ toss

Fill up red water balloons with water and set up a traditional water balloon toss. Participants pair up and toss the “apples” to one another, moving further and further away with each round. The last pair to have an intact “apple” wins.

Bobbing for apples has fallen out of favor as concerns about hygiene have risen. However, there are ways to incorporate the fun parts of bobbing for apples without compromising kids’ overall health.

WELLS -

Recently, the Athletic De partment at Wells High School began honoring student-athletes with its Athlete of the Month Award once again. The presen tation of these awards during the school year was interrupted for over two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this month, fresh man Ryan Woodward and sophomore Elana Vennard re ceived certificates in recogni tion of their sportsmanship and academics. Present were Interim Athletics Director Jodie Lawlor, and coaches Shane Daly and Katelyn Rich.

Ryan Woodward was rec ognized for his performance this fall on the WHS’s golf team. “He had an impressive season all year long, especially for a freshman,” wrote team coach Shane Daly in an email. “Ryan is (also) a great teammate in practice.”

According to Coach Daly, Woodward finished second, with a score of 78 in the West ern Maine Conference Qualifier. At the State meet held at the Na

tanis Golf Club he placed 12th, missing the top 10 by one stroke. Woodward is one of 11 freshmen on the 14-member team. During the season Woodward had an av erage golf score of 39.

Elana Vennard was nomi nated for Athlete of the Month by WHS’s Field Hockey team coach Katelyn Rich. Rich commented that her team faced the start of the season without a goalie.

“Elana spoke up without hesitation and she has taken the new position by storm,” com mented Coach Rich who added, “She has immersed herself in im proving her performance every day; she stays after practice to learn and train, and her efforts have had a significant impact. I’m proud and impressed by her commitment to her teammates and dedication to her position.”

As of mid-October, Vennard has made 105 saves as a goalie.

Although it has had a couple of changes to its sponsor ship over the years, the Athlete of the Month Award program at WHS has been recognizing student-athletes since early 2008.

Pickleball Games at Frost-Tufts Park

ELIOT -

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the US right now. Courts are popping up everywhere and play is usu ally accompanied by laughter and shouts of, “Good shot!” and “Nice try.” The residents of Eliot are not immune from this new sensation. Anybody visiting the Frost-Tufts Park in Eliot recently might have seen evidence of the game’s recent popularity.

The second annual Eliot pickleball tournament hap pened this past September, and included local players who play together through all seasons. Eighteen people participated in the tournament, a good mix of ages, with spectators cheering the players on. Everyone played five games, had some barbecue, and received some kind of par ticipatory prize. The champion this year was Eliot’s own Betsy Haus, with Eliot resident Jeff Tavares as runner-up. Both got to wear the winning costumes, and Betsy received the soughtafter trophy, handmade by a

fellow pickleball player.

Most days there is a game of some sort or another going on at Frost-Tufts Park. Many people started playing to get some exer cise and stay active, to also dis cover how fun the game is, and that the camaraderie from the friendly competition is a healthy

SOUTH BERWICKMarshwood Hawks Vol leyball held a “Dig Pink Night” on Tuesday, October 4, raising more than $600 towards meta static breast cancer research and treatments through the Side-Out Foundation. Players, coaches, parents, and student body came out in support and were “excited to be a part of something more than a game, more than a win or loss,” said

foundation executive director and founder Rick Dunetz. The volleyball program successfully teaches young women how to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Dunetz was a high school volleyball coach when his mother was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. Togeth er, he and his father decided to tell her story, and the story of all those with metastatic

breast cancer, through volley ball matches across the U.S., where communities would rally and fundraise to support breast cancer research. This is how Dig Pink was born. What makes the foundation unique among non profits, however, is that they fund and manage their own clinical research. “We don’t just fund research, we do research,” is their slogan.

At the first tournament in October 2021, there were only eight participants, who played anyway, laughing and joking throughout the games, and celebrating with a barbecue af terwards. There were trophies too, of course, with Eliot resi dent Diane Cullen winning the first year.

Even though the courts at Frost-Tufts Park are in need of repair - there are visible cracks in the courts with weeds grow ing out of them - this group continues to meet and play often, sometimes even daily. Many communities have nicer courts with safer surfaces, but something keeps bringing these players back to the Frost-Tufts courts. Perhaps it’s that sense

“It was our pleasure to in troduce Lucy, our non-releasable Eastern Screech Owl and Zipper, our non-releasable Corn Snake ambassadors to all participants of SoMe’s 4th Annual Charity Golf Outing. Attendees got to meet two of the animals their kind donations will go towards caring for. All donated funds from the Charity Golf Outing

It is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes, can be played as either double or single teams, and can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels.

started slow with

play from both teams,

in the 6th minute Pingree broke through and Allie Moore (North Berwick) made an amaz ing point blank save. Unfortu nately before Berwick could clear the ball away a Pingree player put in the rebound to make it 1-0. In the 18th minute the Highlanders increased their lead off a corner

make it 2-0. Moore made a huge save in the 19th minute to keep the game within reach for the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs started to play better but we’re chasing the game. In the 35th minute the Bulldogs had their best chance to get on the board off a free kick from Grace Libby (Standish) to Sevilla Coffin (Newburyport, MA) but the cross hit the side netting. In the 36th minute Pingree hit a solid shot off the post and in to make it 3-0 and thankfully Moore came up big a minute later with a great save. The Bulldogs made it to the halftime break down 3-0 and a bit discouraged.

The Bulldogs came out much more organized in the

second half and minimized the quality of Pingrees chances with solid defending. Chili Dowd (Amesbury, MA) broke through the Pingree defense with the Bulldogs best chance to get on the board in the second half, but was pushed off the ball by the last Pingree defender and no call was made. Moore im pressively snagged a difficult cross in the 47th minute. Jes sica Wojdak (West Newbury, MA) blocked a shot destined for the back of the net in the 55th minute. Just when the Bulldogs looked to have things under con trol l, the Highlanders had a high cross glance off the crossbar, roll down a Pingree player and end up in the back of the net to make it 4-0. But the Bulldogs played with a lot of heart and pride in the second half.

Allie Moore was amazing in net for the Bulldogs with 19 saves in the game.

The Bulldogs hosted Mon trose on Friday, October 21, under the lights, for their senior recognition game and came away with a 2-0 win to improve to 12-1-1 on the season.

Senior Julia Cabral (Lee,

NH) took the kickoff, s enior Nat Jacuch (Newington, NH) was dangerous on the attack, senior Bella Mazza (Madbury, NH) was a rock in the center of midfield, senior Chili Dowd daz zled the crowd with her amaz ing dribbling skills, and senior Cam Hamilton (South Berwick), earned the Bulldogs their 12th shutout of the season.

The Bulldogs battled hard and opened the scoring early in the 7th minute when senior Chili Dowd set up Sevilla Coffin off a corner kick and Sevilla’s cross was put in by Grace Libby for the 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs had another great chance from Dowd on a corner kick and another great cross from Sevilla to Libby, but the Bulldogs couldn’t put an other on the board and went into the halftime break up 1-0.

The Bulldogs came out de termined in the second half and played an attractive brand of at tacking soccer creating numer ous quality chances. In the 42nd Coffin flew down the left flank slotted the ball to Dowd but the Montrose keeper made the save. In the 44th Dowd sent in a great cross that Libby headed and Se villa volleyed, but a Montrose player cleared it off the line. In the 48th Dowd hit a great shot just wide. Allie Moore had a great corner kick and a great

shot from the top of the 18, but the Bulldogs just couldn’t get an other goal. Berwick got lucky in the 52nd when Montrose broke though the defense but couldn’t capitalize to tie the game. Leila Beakes (Rollinsford, NH) moved into the midfield and got in volved in the attack and in the 53rd minute after a fury in the box had a shot go just over the bar. Then in the 57th minute Leila played a great ball to Coffin and Sevilla’s cross found Grace Libby who rose above the defense for an amazing header and her second goal of the game. Cam Hamilton came up particu larly big in the closing minutes to keep the game scoreless with a big save she tipped over the cross bar and a second diving save on a scrabble in the box.

With five regular season

games to go, the Bulldogs hope to qualify for the EIL and NEPSAC tournaments. Next up they will host Proctor Academy on Wednesday, October 26, where the Hornets will be seeking re venge from their last-minute loss to the Bulldogs in last year’s NEPSAC quarterfinal.
