Whelan’s “Behind the Mask” Wins Best in Show, Airs on PBS

SOUTH BERWICKMarshwood High School (MHS) class of 2022 graduate

Tucker Whelan was one of six student filmmakers recently honored in this year’s Voices of Hope student video festival. Whelan’s seven-minute short film, “Behind the Mask,” co-written by fellow student Brandon Lawson, won the festival’s Best in Show award.

Set in and outside a home during a party, the film features numerous MHS student actors wearing actual masks that represent the various emotions young people might be feeling or fronting during the difficult years of the pandemic.

Whelan writes, “I began this project as an assignment for my Advanced Video production class. . . . The purpose behind this film festival was to display how teenagers have dealt with the pandemic, mental health, addiction, or any personal problems they may face. . . . I decided to interpret the phrase ‘behind the mask’ (relating to what is happening behind a COVID mask) and decided to take this quite literally through the use of masquerade masks with specific emotions. . . . the true message I wanted to convey was the importance of identity and being true to your-

self, also the importance of reaching out to others.”

Of working with his classmates, Whelan goes on to say, “I was fortunate enough to have an amazing group of friends being able to help out as a part of the cast and also being able to help me with technical aspects as well. We had lots of fun with filming and problem solving, and I was in awe of the story I was able to create.”

Voices of Hope is an organ-

ization founded in 2018 by Portland natives Dave and Karen Packhem. Its primary aims are to understand the disease model of addiction, especially among young people, and to reduce the stigma associated with substance use disorder. In the past two years, the organization has produced a program consisting of numerous video episodes featuring people in recovery telling their stories. According to the organization’s website, “Recognizing the impor-

tance of gaining the perspective of young people, [we] reached out to local high school administrators to solicit the involvement of students. The non-profit SEED (Students Empowered to End Dependency) was created in 2020. . .

. Students have helped with interviewing, filming, editing, website creation, transcription, and social media updates.” Of the festival, the organization’s website states,

Powwow Returns to Wells Harbor

The Wells Chamber of Commerce and the New Hampshire Inter-Tribal Native American Council proudly announce the 18th Annual Wells Beach Powwow to be held on Saturday, July 16, and Sunday, July 17, at Wells Harbor Park, 331 Harbor Road, Wells, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.

The event will include American Indian singers, dancers, drummers, and flutists representing various tribes, styles, and categories. In addition,

The host drummers will be Walking Bear Singers, led by drum keeper and head singer Albert “Standing Bear” Caron, who will also serve as the event’s master of ceremonies. According to the event page, “The powwow experience can be overwhelming. Each element, from the spectacular entrance led by veterans in full regalia to the heartbeat of the drums, is imbued with meaning. First-timers should not let

this discourage them. [The MC] leads the event, setting the tone and explaining what is happening as the powwow develops.”

The Grand Entry is at 12 p.m. on Saturday. The public is cordially invited to all events.

Star Island Mail Boat Now Open to Guests

SEACOAST -

Starting June 20, Seacoast Maritime Charters, in conjunction with Star Island Corporation, will be offering a ride on the mail boat to Star Island at the Isles of Shoals. Subject to availability and by reservation only, members of the public may ride the M/V Utopia and the M/V Shining Star on scheduled daily runs to supply the Oceanic Hotel on the historic island.

Star Island supports a population of up to 400 people in the summer and has changed little since its heyday in earlier centuries. The island is known for its sustainability program and for having the largest off-

grid solar power array in New England. These leisurely, informal trips provide an insider’s view into the comings and goings of island life. On a typical trip, guests will ride out with mail, food, and freight, along with commuting island staff, hotel guests, and volunteers. Some trips include a stop at the local

lobster wharf to pick up the evening’s meal.

In summer, coastal weather is generally calmest on the morning trips; guests may see seals, porpoises, and whales, in addition to gannets, loons, bald eagles, and other birds. The run takes about an hour, during which passengers are welcome to engage in conversation with

the crew, help navigate the boat, or simply enjoy the ocean breezes and the sunshine sparkling on the water.

Once on the island, visitors have the opportunity for a 45-minute walk about or selfguided tour while the vessel is unloaded and readied for the return trip.

The service will run through October and helps support the non-profit Star Island Corporation, which maintains the island and allows for public visits like these. To learn more and reserve a space, call Captain Jack Farrell at 207-337-0446 or visit www.seacoastmaritimecharters.com.

Whelan’s film, along with those of the other winners, was aired on Maine PBS in June. It can also be viewed on YouTube at www.youtu.be/VgsWvNJxDf4. Whelan writes, “It was

KAA Awards Scholarships to Traip Academy Students

KITTERYThe Kittery Art Association (KAA) recently awarded two $1,000 Marcia Abigail Ryder Art Scholarships to Traip Academy graduates Isabella Harris and Emma Dawson-Webb. KAA President Dean Gallant and fund supporter Roger Cole were on hand to congratulate the recipients.

During high school, Harris gained experience in creative writing and in the principles of childhood development. She wrote and produced a one-act play at Traip Academy and, from a pool of sixty applicants, was selected to participate in a mentorship with the Sanford Technical School for Early Childhood Development. She will be attending Emmanuel College, with dual majors in elementary education and English.

Art, she says, “. . . expands students’ minds [to see] that there

are not always right or wrong answers [in life].”

Dawson-Webb has been accepted to the Tufts University School of Arts and Sciences in a self-designed major that selects course programs from the university’s schools in architecture, urban studies, sociology, art history, and visual and material studies. Prior to receiving this scholarship, she was the recipient of a KAA grant to build an outdoor installation of recycled fishing nets. Dawson-Webb believes that “art is one of our most valuable communication tools and brings beauty to our everyday world.”

Since 2008, Ryder Art Scholarships have granted over

Smooth Tony recently released a new CD titled “Sun Dappled Afternoon.” Tony labels the style of the music “Mod-Tro,” or Modern Retro. With this album, he aims to transport the listener back in time to the laid-back vibes of the 60s and early 70s. He describes the eleven songs on the album as light and airy, evoking the easy-going mood of a generation.

“I’ve always wanted to do an album of this kind of music,” Tony says at home in his Mountainview Studio. “These songs are derived from styles such as Bossa Nova, Exotica, Space Age Pop, and more. It seemed like a natural thing to meld my own style into this retro music.”

Kids’ Art in the Hall

WELLS

In mid-May, kindergarten through fourth-grade students at Wells Elementary School (WES) contributed to an art exhibit titled “The WES Hallway Art Show.” The display consisted mainly of artwork inspired and created by students in the school’s art studio. The exhibit featured hundreds of images beginning in the lobby near the school’s office and continuing up and down both wings of an adjacent first-floor hallway.

“This is an artist-driven show,” noted WES art teacher, Jenna Larochelle-Parry, in an e-mail. “I wanted to celebrate every artist [because] we did not have a traditional art show again this year. The artists had complete ownership over every aspect of this art show [including] envisioning their own art idea . . .” Larochelle-Parry teaches art to all of the school’s 546 students.

Also in the exhibit were examples of teacher-directed art, including printmaking, a kindness quilt, a collage, kindergarten pinch pots, cave drawings, art created for the school’s annual June Colors Day, and miniature villages created by first-graders inspired by the yearly first-grade performance of “Tikki Tikki Tembo,” a fable that is a part of music teacher Karen

Taylor’s curriculum.

A unique feature of the exhibit was a provision for feedback. In one hallway was a basket placed where students, teachers, and other staff could deposit fan letters to an artist whose work they liked.

“One of my favorite things about this school year was seeing the level of excitement in students around the hallway art exhibit,” noted WES principal Kyle Burnell. “The kids were incredibly proud to display their art for everyone to see. [Larochelle-Parry] made this exhibit even more impactful by having students mat, title, and hang their own work. . . . Our students were so proud of the pieces they had created, and that created such a positive atmosphere in the school!”

In commenting about a primary component of art instruction at WES, Larochelle-Parry explained, “our K-4 art education curriculum embraces the practice of teaching for artistic

Since 1996, Maine Preservation has released a list of Maine’s most endangered historic places to boost local efforts and focus positive media attention with an aim to preserve threatened places throughout the state. Nomination of an endangered place is a chance for Mainers to make their voices heard and to shine a light on the places that matter to their communities. According to its website, “Maine Preservation is the independent, nonprofit, member-based statewide historic preservation organization that promotes and preserves historic places, buildings, downtowns, and neighborhoods, strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities.” In behavior, often referred to as TAB. The TAB philosophy recognizes the child as an artist, encouraging authentic art-making and ownership over their artistic process.”

Earlier this spring, several of Larochelle-Parry’s students had their artwork displayed at the Barn Gallery’s annual student exhibit in Ogunquit. In March, one of her students, fourth-grader Robby Richmond, had his artwork, a piece titled “A Big Boy Locomotive,” displayed at the Portland Museum of Art during Youth Art Month.

2021, among the places listed was Wood Island Life Saving Station in Kittery Point (pictured).

The organization is now accepting nominations for its 2022 Most Endangered Historic Places list. To be eligible, a nominated property must be located in Maine; be historically, architecturally, and/or culturally significant; be substantially threatened, such that without intervention the continued existence of the place is at risk; be savable, with potential to eliminate the threat and to rehabilitate and re-use the property; and be supported by a local group advocating for the future of the place that can partner with Maine Preservation. Previous listings have included bridges, mill

buildings, churches, clock towers, neighborhoods, and schools. Nominations are due July 27. The Maine Preservation staff and board of trustees review nominations for the final selection. The 2022 list will be announced in September. For more information, photos of past years’ listed properties, and nomination forms for this year, visit www. mainepreservation.org/mostendangered.

“Immersion” features the photographs of South Berwick resident Steve De Neef, a conservation-minded artist whose work is inextricably tied to the ocean. According to the press release, “De Neef is a photographer whose images depict the vibrant environs of the Gulf of Maine and once-ina-lifetime encounters with large animals.” The show also displays works by Rebecca McGee Tuck, of Natick, MA, who is a found-object sculptor and sources her materials along the wrack line.

In the other show, “Story Systems,” Biddeford artist Cat Bates and Seacoast favorite Tim Christensen reveal the narrative properties of material through works that reflect the ecology and culture of life on the coast. Bates is a jeweler best known for incorporating metal casting and sailor knotting into his designs. Christensen tells stories of, and pays homage to, nature through porcelain pottery with intricate sgraffito drawings.

Call for Celebratory Art

OGUNQUIT -

The art exhibit “Celebrating Our Differences” will show at the Ogunquit Playhouse while performances of the musical “Mr. Holland’s Opus” run from August 12 through September 17. At its core, the story of the musical is about celebrating diversity. Art exhibited in the theater lobby will echo the beauty, value, and strength found in the many ways people differ.

This art call invites New England artists to submit work supporting the ideals that differences are strengths to be embraced, and that individuality should be celebrated. The artwork will be selected and curated by Anita Loomis, of Loomis Gallery in Kittery, who is also acting as exhibit manager. All two-dimensional media are eligible, though there are size limits so that as many pieces as possible can be fit in the available space. Submissions are due by July 15, and there is no submittal fee. To see the exhibit prospectus, visit www.loomisgallery.com.

Intimate Abstracts and Immigrant Triumphs

OGUNQUIT -

He never smiled on camera, earning him the nickname of “the Great Stone Face.” But Buster Keaton’s comedies rocked Hollywood’s silent era with laughter throughout the 1920s. Acclaimed for their originality, clever visual gags, and amazing stunts, Keaton’s films remain popular crowd-pleasers today.

“Battling Butler” (1926), one of Keaton’s landmark feature films, will be screened on Wednesday, July 13, at 7 p.m. at the historic Leavitt Theatre, 259 Main St. (Route 1) in Ogunquit. Admission is $12 per person. Live music will be provided by accompanist Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based performer who specializes in creating music for silent film presentations.

In the 1920s, boxing rivaled baseball as the nation’s most popular sport. Neighborhoods, communities, and ethnic groups all rooted for their favorite fighters, and heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey ranked as an international celebrity. Because of this, boxing stories were popular with early movie audiences as well. “Battling Butler” tells the story of pampered millionaire Alfred Butler (Keaton) who tries to impress the girl of his dreams (Sally O’Neil) by pretending to be a championship boxer with the same name. The masquerade leads to knockout comedy both

During the 2022 season, the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) will offer ARTfullness, a diverse set of programming that includes workshops, classes, and lectures for visitors of all ages and experience levels to fully engage in the beauty of the indoor and outdoor spaces of the museum. The season includes plein air painting in the gardens, figure drawing, KIDZART, children’s story time, mindful sketching, and a lecture series on the history of ballet, among other offerings. Programming takes place until late September.

“The museum developed the ARTfullness initiative to increase awareness of the power of art and place,” said

in and outside the ring, giving Keaton ample opportunity to display his gifts for physical and visual comedy.

Keaton, along with Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, stands as one of the silent screen’s three great clowns. Many critics regard Keaton as the best of all; Roger Ebert wrote in 2002 that “in an extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, [Keaton] worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies.” While making films, Keaton never thought he was an artist, but an entertainer trying to use the then-new art of motion pictures to tell stories and create laughter. All those talents are on display in “Battling Butler,” which holds the distinction of being the top-grossing title of Keaton’s silent features.

On Tuesday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m., the Kennebunk Free Library will host Morgan Rielly, one of the authors of “Dear Maine: The Trials and Triumphs of Maine’s 21st Century Immigrants.”

Rielly is the state representative for House District 34, which includes part of his hometown of Westbrook. He coauthored the book with Reza Jalali, a former refugee and executive director of the Greater Portland Immigrant Welcome Center. The book recounts the trials and triumphs of twenty immigrants who have arrived in Maine over the past few decades, and it includes black-andwhite photographic portraits by Portland photographer Lilit Danielyan.

Starting July 2, for the entire month, the library will host an exhibit of works by Seacoast artist and former Marshwood High School art teacher Patricia Sevigny-Higgins titled “Up Close and Beyond.” It is a compilation of two years of art work in four different series, both realistically and abstracted executed using watercolor, acrylics, and mixed media. In her artist’s statement, Sevigny-Higgins says, “My work can come from a hike out to a marsh, my travels, or the feeling I get when I see an old neglected

York Named Among Best for Maternity

YORKAccording to a press release from York Hospital last month, Newsweek recently ranked the hospital as one of the best maternity hospitals in the U.S. and among the top three in Maine. Newsweek and Statista, Inc., developed a detailed methodology ensuring the quality and validity of the rankings. The following data sources were used for evaluation: a nationwide online survey sent to hospital managers, midwives, neonatal caregivers, and OB/GYNs; Medical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) focusing on maternity care; and patient survey results. Over 10,000 medical professionals were invited to participate, and only 350 winners were recognized on the Newsweek list. “I am so proud of everyone on our birthing care team for the progressive and collaborative

care they provide our patients. Keeping safety measures at the forefront and ensuring the best birthing experience possible for our mothers and their partners has allowed us to achieve this recognition again this year,” offered Director of Family Care and Education Melody Narramore, DNP, RN, NPD-BC.

The hospital says its Miracles Family Birthing Center provides a full array of obstetric services, including antepartum testing (a variety of tests performed late in pregnancy to verify fetal well-being), labor and delivery, and postpartum and newborn care, as well as inpatient pediatric services. Physicians, experienced nurse midwives, and specialized obstetric and pediatric nurses use state-of-the-art technology, such as fetal monitoring surveillance and electronic documentation

Dear Diane,

If your computer has external speakers plugged in, just unplugging the speakers will probably switch the sound to the TV.

If that doesn’t work (I always like to start with the simple solution first), you can select the sound output in the control panel.

Here is how: 1) Click on the start button and type “Control Panel” in the search box; click on the Control Panel icon. 2) In the Control Panel, click on “Hardware and Sound,” then click on “Manage Audio Devices.” 3) In the dialog box that opens, make sure the playback tab is selected.

4) You will see a list of audio devices, including your HDMI connection; click on your HDMI connection, then click the “Set Default” button and click “OK.” 5) Your sound should now come through your TV, and to change it back to your speakers, just follow the above directions and change your speakers to default.

I do, however, have a wired connection that connects directly to my desktop. Is there a device or a way to connect a small Wi-Fi router directly to my desktop or to the wired connection that will give me Wi-Fi for my phone and iPad? Thanks, Josh

Dear Josh,

I read your email, and, even though I didn’t think there was a solution to your problem, I did a quick search and was surprised to find a Windows 10 feature that might solve your problem.

If you look in the settings under “Network & Internet,” you will find a section labeled “Mobile hotspot.” You can set it up to use either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. I have not used it, so I don’t know how well it works, but you can find more information on Microsoft’s website. I hope this helps you. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady, I enjoy getting recipes at different websites. But often there is local store pricing information, and I see the button to turn this off, but it seems to only apply to that visit. I’m using Chrome and

have tried to find this in the settings but I’m not seeing anything that might turn this off. How do I turn this off for good? Thank you for your help! Mary

Dear Mary,

I love to find recipes online as well; in fact, just today, I was looking for a good plant-based ranch dressing recipe. The local store pricing information is just one of the ads that those recipe sites use to support the site. There is not a way to turn it off permanently because the advertising revenue is needed to pay for the site and people working there. Think of it like ads in the newspaper. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady, I use Windows 10 home on my HP laptop. Out of the blue, I suddenly need to use a password to log onto my computer. I didn’t remember even setting up a password, so it took some doing to find out what it was. Now I can’t figure out how to disable it, and I have no reason to use a password. I tried looking it up online, but nothing I found worked. Can you please tell me how to disable it? Thank you so much! Karin

Dear Karin, There is a way to sign into Windows 10 without a password, but only if you are using

How To Be More Secure with Online Banking

The world is increasingly moving online. Perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the financial sector. If asked to recall the last time they visited a bank in person, millions of people would likely be stumped for an answer.

A recent survey from Provident Bank found that 80 percent of consumers prefer digital banking to in-person banking. And while 95 percent of consumers surveyed indicated they are confident that their bank can protect their data in online and mobile banking platforms, it’s still wise for individuals to do everything they can to ensure their online banking activities are as secure as possible. After all, data from the security intelligence experts at Kaspersky indicates that 22 percent of online banking users utilizing PCs were attacked with the banking malware Zbot in 2020. That underscores how important it is that online and mobile banking users prioritize security when accessing their accounts via websites or their phones. These strategies can help consumers enjoy the convenience of online and mobile banking while ensuring they can rest easy knowing their accounts are as secure as possible.

Avoid keeping a password too long. It’s understandable if users have had the same passwords for months, if not years.

Life in a digital world requires username s and passwords for

just about everything, but it’s vital that banking passwords are routinely changed. Changing passwords once per month improves security, especially if passwords include a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. When changing passwords, resist the temptation to use a password you’re already using for another account.

Use only your own network when banking online or via your mobile devices. Public Wi-Fi may be convenient, but users have no

idea who else might be making use of that convenience. Various cybersecurity experts indicate that public Wi-Fi is especially vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, a type of security breach in which a third party intercepts communications between two unsuspecting parties, such as an online/mobile banking user and his or her bank. To reduce your risk of being victimized by an MITM attack, avoid using any website or app,

Better Coverage for Better Teeth

-

STATEWIDE

On July 1, adults with MaineCare became automatically enrolled in full dental benefits with access to care like cleanings, fillings, and diagnostic tests, replacing an “emergency-only” benefit covering treatment only for pain or infection that had been in place since 1989. The change to MaineCare follows a three-year campaign led by low-income Mainers, dentists, and other providers and advocates, and

championed by Governor Janet Mills and legislators from both sides of the aisle. In 2021, the Maine legislature unanimously supported a bill (LD 996) that was later adopted and enacted as part of the budget proposed by the governor. According to the governor’s office, this marks the first time Maine has ever exercised its option under federal law to provide full dental care including prevention, treatment, and dentures as part of its Medicaid program.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is in charge of rolling out the new benefit and has conducted a months-long stakeholder process with dentists and providers, individual MaineCare members, and health care advocates at the table. At the same time as benefits are expanding for adults, the state is increasing the reimbursement rates for MaineCare patients (both adults and kids) and making it simpler for health care providers to accept MaineCare.

A 2021 report from the Health Policy Institute found that Maine can save millions in medical care costs and see more than $21 million annually in economic benefits from covering full dental care for adults with low incomes. Dental care also has the potential to strengthen public health and Maine’s economy. Poor oral health often impacts Mainers’ mental health, employability, and ability to be a full part of their communities or care for their families. According to an American Dental Association survey, in Maine, 45% of people with low income say they avoid smiling because of the state of their teeth and mouth, and one in three people say the appearance of their mouth and teeth affects their ability to get a job.

“Maine is joining the great

majority of states in recognizing that our mouths are a part of our bodies, and that dental care is health care. This is a life-changing step forward for Maine people, our communities, and our workforce,” said Maine Equal Justice director of health care campaigns and advocacy Kathy Kilrain del Rio. “In fact, dental care for adults is a big achievement in Maine’s progress on health care.”

Dental and health care advocates who supported the threeyear campaign to improve dental care under MaineCare include

the Maine Dental Association, Maine Oral Health Coalition, Partnership for Children’s Oral Health, Maine Primary Care Association, Northeast Delta Dental, Southern Maine Workers’ Center, and Maine Consumers for Affordable Health Care.

MaineCare members who have questions about their benefit or how to find a provider can visit www.maineequaljustice.org/help-is-available/ health-care, or call MaineCare Member Services at 1-800-9776740.

Our commitment to expert home health and hospice care is timeless. It began more than a century ago, and today, it continues under our new name: Tufts Medicine Care at Home. Together with our partners in Tufts Medicine, we are reimagining ways to make care more convenient and accessible for you. We’re excited about the future and know our history will serve us well.

Women in Maine may continue wonder where they stand after the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of the right to abortion care on a national level, especially when it comes to their legal rights vis-à-vis other states that may criminalize abortion.

In addition to Maine laws that mandate access to abortion care and that require most insurance plans to cover it, Governor Janet Mills recently signed an executive order to further safeguard that access and to protect Maine health care providers and their patients. According to the governor’s office, the order prohibits state agencies from cooperating with another state’s investigation into a person, organization, or health care provider for delivering abortion care in Maine; directs state agencies to conduct a

review of laws and regulations for barriers to reproductive health care and exercise discretionary authority under the law to remove or minimize those barriers; and makes clear that the governor will exercise her authority within the law to decline extradition attempts from other states pursuing criminal charges against a person for receiving or performing abortion care.

The full text of the order, FY 21/22 Executive Order #4, can be found at www. maine.gov/governor/mills/ official_documents. For more information on abortion care, women can consult their physician or contact family planning organizations such as Maine Family Planning or Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.

How to Safely Handle Contact Lenses

Billions of people across the globe wear corrective lenses to improve their vision.

Eyeglasses and contact lenses perform similar functions, but there are big differences in regard to how to maintain these popular eyewear options.

Estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that around 45 million people in the United States wear contact lenses. Unlike eyeglasses, which can be quickly cleaned with lens cleaner and stored in a safe place to ensure frames don’t brake when they aren’t being worn, contact lenses require significant maintenance. Such maintenance ensures that contact lenses continue to work properly and also keeps the eyes safe from infection and other potential issues.

How to Handle Contact Lenses

The US Food and Drug Administration notes that the consequences can be significant if contact lenses are not cleaned properly, changed appropriately, or handled properly. Infections that can lead to vision loss and other side effects, such as pain, blurred vision, and redness, are all potential side effects if contact lens wearers don’t properly care for their contacts.

Wearing contact lenses is second nature for many people, and that can lead some to overlook the kind of daily maintenance necessary to keep contacts safe and reduce risk for eye infection. The contact lens experts at Bausch + Lomb remind people to follow these rules when handling contact lenses.

Do not touch your lenses until you have washed your hands thoroughly with a mild soap, rinsed your hands completely, and dried them with a lint-free towel.

Avoid certain soaps. Soaps that contain cold cream, lotion, or oily cosmetics should be avoided before handling contact lenses, as residue from these substances can stick to the lenses, potentially causing pain, irritation, or blurred vision.

Handle lenses with your fingertips. When holding contact lenses, hold them between fingertips, not with your fingernails. Fingernails can damage contact lenses if scraped against them, potentially compromis-

ing your ability to see.

Adhere to manufacturer’s instructions. Contact solution labels and contact manufacturer instructions should be strictly adhered to. These guidelines are often product-specific, and Bausch + Lomb notes that not all solutions are safe with all lenses. Whenever you order new lenses, particularly when changing brands, be sure to read maintenance instructions carefully and confirm with your ophthalmologist which solution you should use with your new lenses.

Tens of millions of people wear contact lenses every day. When wearing such lenses, emphasize safe handling at all times to reduce your risk of eye infection.

Recently, due to another detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Maine in a small, non-commercial group of backyard birds on June 28, Maine animal health officials with the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, announced the continuation of their advisory recommending cancellation or postponement of events involving fowl.

The advisory reads, in part, “The risk for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) remains high, and bird owners are advised to keep birds indoors to prevent the spread of this disease. Animal health officials in Maine now recommend that all competitions, exhibitions, shows, swaps, or other in-person events encouraging the gathering or comingling of domestic fowl or poultry be postponed until at

least 30 days after the last detection of an infected flock in our state. The risk assessment for HPAI transmission is ongoing and dependent on dynamic factors such as weather and wild bird migratory patterns. As the southern migration begins this fall, adjustments to our flock management practices may remain necessary to protect these birds.”

For organizers who proceed with a poultry event, the department lists important guidelines on its website www.maine.gov/ dacf/ahw/animal_health. For a complete snapshot of HPAI in Maine, the state’s response, a list of frequently asked questions, and additional HPAI resources, visit maine.gov/dacf/

hpai. To report sick poultry or unusual domestic bird deaths, call the USDA’s toll-free sick bird hotline at 1-866-536-7593. To report a strange-acting or dead wild bird, call the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at 207-287-8000.

Contaminated water supplies pose a significant threat to human health. According to the World Health Organization, contaminated water is linked to a host of diseases, including cholera, diarrhea, dys-

entery, and hepatitis A, among others. Sources of drinking water are subject to contamination, and many people may have no idea if their water is safe for consumption, or what they should do to ensure it is.

The Environmental Protection Agency notes that many testing laboratories or services supply sample containers to individuals interested in having their water tested. But that leaves the question of when to test water. The EPA indicates that certain conditions and activities may warrant having water tested for the presence of various things that can make individuals sick.

Condition: Recurrent gastrointestinal illness. Recommended test: Coliform bacteria.

Condition: Household plumbing contains lead. Recommended test: Pit, lead, copper.

Condition: Scaly residues, soaps don’t lather. Recommended test: Hardness.

Condition: Water softener needed to treat hardness. Recommended test: Manganese, iron.

Condition: Stained plumbing fixtures, laundry. Recom-

mended test: Iron, copper, manganese.

Condition: Foul taste or smell. Recommended test: Hydrogen sulfide, corrosion, metals.

Condition: Cloudy, frothy or colored water. Recommended test: Color, detergents.

Condition: Corrosion of pipes, plumbing. Recommended test: Corrosion, pH, lead.

Condition: Rapid wear of water treatment equipment. Recommended test: pH, corrosion.

Condition: Nearby areas of intensive agriculture. Recommended test: Nitrate, pesticides, coliform bacteria.

Condition: Coal or other mining operation nearby. Recommended test: Metals, pH, corrosion.

Take Action Against Radon

No one is invulnerable to cancer. When it comes to reducing their cancer risk, individuals take many steps, including changing their diets and following recommended timelines for various health screenings. However, one important strategy may never occur to the average person: getting one’s home tested for radon.

The U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency reports that radon accounts for roughly 21,000 deaths from lung cancer each year. In fact, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who don’t smoke, according to the American Cancer Society.

Radon is a natural substance that is produced from rocks and dirt in the ground, but that doesn’t make it safe. Radon is always present in the air in low concentrations, but heavy concentrations are dangerous. This can occur when too much radon gas from underneath a home leaks into a residence and builds up inside. The higher the radon levels and the longer the duration of exposure, the greater the risk for illness.

Radon is odorless and colorless, so there is no way to know

roadway nearby. Recommended test: Chloride, TDS, sodium.

Various conditions can be indicative of a contaminated water supply. When such conditions arise, individuals should not hesitate to have their water tested.

if it is present without a specific radon test kit. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention says that affordable radon kits are available from hardware stores and can be ordered from the National Radon Program Services website at www.sosradon.org/test-kits.

Not all tests are the same, so it is important to read the directions. Depending on the test, it may take a few days or many months to finish the test and wait for the results from the testing laboratory.

If test results show a radon level of 4 picocuries per liter (pCiL) or higher, it’s adviseable to do a second test. If that test also comes back high, the issue will require remediation. A radon expert can provide advice and some solutions. Large radon problems typically require the services of a mitigation contractor to fix the home radon issues.

The CDC also advises people who have well water to get the well tested for radon, as sometimes well water can carry radon into the house, too.

Radon is a problem that can affect newer and older homes alike. Simple testing can determine if radon needs to be addressed or if a home is safe. It’s a routine safety measure homeowners should not overlook.

Tips from the BBB for Navigating Inflation

STATEWIDE -

Inflation is higher than it has been since the 1980s in both the United States and Canada. The same amount of money buys less than it did just months ago. When price hikes hit people who already have limited budgets, covering basic monthly expenses becomes difficult. Parents may find themselves having to choose between healthy meals and cheaper, less nutritious options. Young people must decide whether to put gas in their tanks or pay tuition. However, all income levels

are showing signs of financial stress. Even high earners are cutting back.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers these tips for dealing with higher prices: Know what you’re spending. Compare your 2021 bank and credit card statements to your 2022 statements to see how inflation is impacting you. This will also give you an idea of where you might be able to make cuts. If your spending in some areas has dramatically increased this year, you can figure out specific strategies for reducing costs.

Kiezulas Wins Legion Scholarship

KENNEBUNKThe American Legion, Webber-Lefebvre Post #74 in Kennebunk, and Kennebunkport Post #159 have collaborated to provide a $1,500 scholarship to a Kennebunk High School senior who will go on to pursue further education. Kennebunk High School (KHS) is part of Regional School Unit #21 that serves students from the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Arundel. Kennebunk High School seniors may apply for a variety of scholarships, including the one provided by these American Legion posts.

Out of a group of 32 highly qualified and worthy applicants in 2022, the American Legion posts are proud to have selected Joseph Kiezulas as the recipient of this year’s scholarship. Kiezulas, a Kennebunkport resident, is in the top 10% of his graduating class and was captain of the KHS varsity basketball team during his senior year. In addition to his academic and athletic achievements, he has made his way by working each summer since ninth grade. An interest in technology gave him the impetus to learn how to make repairs to smart phones for one of his co-workers and others. This interest in technology will lead him to attend Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in the fall to pursue a degree in Computer Science. The American Legion posts would like to congratulate Kiezulas on his accomplishments and wish him great success in his future endeavors as he pursues his educational and career goals.

Stick with your current vehicle. Both new and used cars are expensive and in limited supply right now. Keeping your current ride is likely more economical if you don’t need a new car. If you are leasing a car, the Wall Street Journal recommends buying it. That’s because the car’s price was set at the start of your lease, before the high inflation began.

Get smarter with your grocery shopping. Meat and fish have seen some of the highest price increases. Eating vegetarian a few nights a week will help reduce food costs. Also,

getting serious about meal prep, shopping your pantry, and reducing food waste will help lower grocery bills. Take advantage of sales. Stock up if you see a good price on an item you regularly use, such as soap or paper towels. Don’t wait until you run out. Cancel subscriptions. It’s easy to lose track of what subscription services you are paying for. Forbes reminds consumers to review their subscriptions to ensure they’re still using them.

Home Values Up!

Home values remain high, while for-sale inventory is still a limiting factor for those seeking to purchase single-family existing homes in Maine. According to Maine Listings, the median sales price (MSP) statewide reached $350,000 in May 2022 –an increase of 14.75% over May of 2021. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. Sales eased 11.97% statewide, comparing May 2022 to May 2021.

Realtors reported a national sales decline of 7.7% in May 2022 compared to May 2021, while prices rose 14.6% to a national MSP of $414,200. Regionally, May 2022 sales in the Northeast eased 9.3% and the regional MSP of $409,700 represented a 6.7% rise in prices compared to May 2021.

Negotiate better prices. It’s possible you could get a better rate for things like insurance, cable bills, gym memberships, and credit card interest. Start by being nice to the company rep and ask if there are any programs or discounts you qualify for.

Take advantage of gas price savings. Sign up for fuel reward programs or use fuel comparison apps to find the lowest gas prices in your neighborhood.

Watch out for “shrinkflation.” Some manufacturers won’t raise prices, but will instead put fewer products in the same packaging. Read labels and choose options that give the most value for your dollar.

Enjoy what you already have. Take a walk with a family member instead of driving to the movie theater. Clean out your closet to rediscover lost items instead of buying new ones. Finish the project you started instead of spending on something different.

Install system updates. Users may find system update prompts always seem to come at the most inconvenient times. As a result, it’s tempting to click the “Install Later” button and completely forget about it. But the longer users wait to install updates on their devices, including their smartphones, the more vulnerable to attacks they become. When prompted, install system updates immediately. Such updates typically only take a few minutes and often include new security features designed to protect users and their information, including any financial information they might have on their devices.

Watch out for scams. Con artists know that shoppers are concerned about prices and will take advantage of the situation. Beware of deals that sound too good to be true, since they probably are.

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 questions 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, sympathy, 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

Glenn Alan Towne, 58

NORTH BERWICK –

The family of Glenn Towne is heartbroken beyond words to announce his unexpected passing on Thursday, June 30, 2022. Born May 7, 1964, Glenn grew up in Kennebunk, ME, the son of Alton H. Towne and Thelma “Bobbie” E. Towne. Glenn resided in both Maine and New Hampshire and was a well-loved friend, partner, and community member.

Glenn was a proud, loving

father and grandfather with a great love of fishing and a strong work ethic. Glenn was generous, resilient, and youngat-heart, with a natural ability to make anyone laugh and smile! His smile and laugh were contagious. Always a twinkle in his eye; whether goofing around, playing with animals, his children and grandchildren, making silly voices, or making up random song lyrics. He never failed to have a whole room of people belly laughing until tears were streaming.

Glenn will be remembered for his love of fishing and his devotion to friends and family. He was also known for his strength and dedication in the gym, where he inspired others and overcame many personal challenges. No matter what life threw at him, he never gave up.

Glen is survived by his kids and grandkids, whom he bragged endlessly about: son Jacob Andrew Town and partner Megan, of Rochester, NH; daughter Toni Marie Town and partner John, of Naples, ME; grandchildren, Eliana, Benton, Beckett, and Mia; sister Gail Foley, of North Berwick; three brothers, Doug Towne, of Huntsville, AL, Gary Towne, of NH, and Ronald Towne, of North Berwick; as well as numerous family and cherished friends.

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 expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, 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 intellectual 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 extended 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.

YORK -

In May and June, York Hospital welcomed six new providers to its medical staff.

Brian Fenn, CRNA, joined his colleagues on the anesthesia team at the surgery center. Fenn earned his BSN at Wilkes University in Wilkes Barre, PA, and an MS in nurse anesthesia at Eastern Maine Medical Center School of Nurse Anesthesia/ University of Maine in Bangor. His health care experiences, both military and civilian, have taken him throughout the U.S. He has held the position of Chief Nurse Anesthetist and enjoyed serving as a mentor to many

KENNEBUNKUnited Way of Southern Maine (UWSME) recently presented community service awards to individuals for their exemplary volunteer service to the Southern Maine community at its recent board meeting. Among them was Kennebunk resident Todd Cesca, senior financial advisor at Charter Oak Capital Management, who was presented with the Elise Kittredge Award. The award is named after Elise Kittredge, a special friend of United Way of York County and the York County community. Historically given by United Way of York County, it recognizes volunteers who help effect long-lasting changes in the community through their exceptional contribution of time, talent, and financial resources to United Way.

“It is an honor to recognize these individuals for their meaningful acts of generosity and their leadership around last year’s merger of United Way of York County and United Way of Greater Portland to form United Way of Southern Maine,” shared Liz Cotter Schlax, President and CEO of UWSME.

Cesca has volunteered with United Way for at least two decades. He served on various community investment teams, evaluating funded partners and recommending where in the community United Way should invest. He chaired United Way of Greater Portland’s education

investment team and served as an inaugural member of the Thrive2027 Goal 1 cabinet. He then served on the United Way of York County Board, including as board chair, and led the York County merger team. He currently serves as vice-chair of UWSME’s board, and chairs the Community Impact Steering Committee. Ever passionate for investing in his community, Cesca also serves on the board of the Kennebunk Lacrosse Club, is a volunteer boys varsity lacrosse coach at Kennebunk High School, and serves as a trustee and investment committee member for various endowments in Maine. An avid fly-fisherman, he resides in Kennebunk with his wife, Megan, and their two dogs, Stella and Oliver.

At the same board meeting, Portland, NH, resident Bill Fletcher, General Counsel at the Maine Community College System, was presented the Bert Andrews Volunteer Award.

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLSReese is a jovial fellow. He struts around the cat room and rubs his furry cheeks against the other kitties’ faces. Only about five years old and very handsome, with a dark gray coat and white muzzle, he is a happy, comfortable-with-life kind of kitty who likes everyone. Pat, one of the Safe Haven volunteers who cares for Reese, describes him with a smile as an “adorable, affectionate hunk.”

Reese is ready to be adopted by someone looking for a genuinely sweet kitty. He likes other kitties, and he’ll be great with animal-loving children. With his laidback, happy demeanor, Reese will reward a loving and responsible family with a lifetime of purrs and happy memories. Kitties with his personality find homes quickly, so if interested, please call our shelter at 207-646-1611 or go to www.safehavenhumanesociety.org and fill out an adoption application. The kitten we rescued last week, with the eye and jaw injury, is now named Tuesday.

His eye was removed, but he’s healing beautifully. He acts no differently than when he had both eyes. The vet put in a feeding tube, but he hasn’t even needed it. Our team makes a slurry of high protein food and broth, and he laps it up with gusto. His jaw opens easily and freely to announce repeatedly that he’s well and happy and just wants to play now.

Why did we name him Tuesday? Because to raise additional funds to afford so many emergency cases like him, we

needed to open our shop an additional day each week. The cost of vet care is increasing (like everything else), and emergency care expenses are seriously challenging. Animals with no owner sometimes end up at the emergency vet’s needing surgery or facing euthanasia. These tragic situations prompt us to do everything we can to give them a fighting chance to live. To save more lives, we need to raise more money; so, now we’re open Tuesdays, too, or, as we call them, “Compassionate Tuesdays.” Each kitten we’ve saved is now living a healthy, happy life in a loving home. Their joyful survival is our only reward for making the leap. We applaud our volunteers for working hard and never complaining about the constant effort it takes to keep up with our mounting bills.

Please patronize our shop at 1784 Post Road in Wells. Every penny of every purchase supports our mission of saving lives. Every item is donated by a generous supporter.
