Multi-Million Dollar Donation on Scale to Attract Railroad Fans

One small section of the Maine Central Model Railroad, soon relocating to Kennebunkport from Jonesport, depicts downtown Bangor in the mid-1900s.

KENNEBUNKPORT The Maine Central Model Railroad will be relocating to a new home in 2022 at Kennebunkport’s Seashore Trolley Museum, thanks to a very generous donation from the Wyss Medical Foundation. The beautifully-crafted model railroad layout was built by Helen and Harold “Buz” Beal in Jonesport. For decades, the couple opened their home to guests from all over the world to view one of Maine’s largest layouts in HO-scale. From Quoddy Lighthouse to the mountains of Maine, to the paper mills and

Dragon Cement, street blocks representing the communities the Maine Central Model Railroad operated through and several roundhouses, tunnels, rivers and the ocean, the layout has it all. Best-selling author Steven King even provided the designs of his Victorian home in Bangor to the Beal’s, and they replicated it expertly. Upon Buz’s passing in 2013, Helen continued to curate the layout while looking for another model club or nonprofit to resume ownership. Because of the layout’s impressive size, no one could accept the donation

without taking the model apart and making the layout much smaller. Hansjoerg Wyss, a friend of the Beal’s and a rail enthusiast and philanthropist, approached Seashore Trolley Museum in 2020 to ask if they might consider providing a home for the layout. Like the other groups approached, the museum did not have the space to display such a large model. The museum researched the layout for months to determine how the layout could be kept as intact as possible and See TRAINS page 4...

Senior Center Continues to Offer Days of Warming

WELLS / OGUNQUIT The Wells Ogunquit Senior Center was first opened in July of 2004. It is a private, member-owned, 501(c)3 non-profit, operating as a senior center. One of the more original – and still successful – programs the center has introduced is the winter season’s “Days of Warming”. Days of Warming occurs every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2

p.m. from January through midMarch. The idea arose from the high cost of fuel in 2007-2008 that had many seniors in and around the Wells area making the choice of being warm or paying for medicine or food. The center’s leaders came up with a proposal to apply for a grant based on the concept of opening the center on Saturdays so seniors could turn their thermostats down for a day, come to the center to be warm, receive a meal, enjoy entertainment, expand their social contacts, and just have an extra day to have fun with friends. More significantly, it could help lower the cost of heat for them for one day a week, provide one meal a week savings, and allow another day of socializing with friends to reinforce their needed support network during tough times. Bank of America generously presented the center with a grant to establish the program for the winter of 2008 and the Days of Warming became a reality from there. The grant funded the program through the first winter as the leaders worked to set it up again for the next winter in a way that be continued affordably by the center. Requests went out to the

communities of Wells and Ogunquit to see if there was interest from businesses or other organizations to sponsor a meal or donate talent to entertain for one of the 9-11 Saturdays in winter. The response was positive so that each winter Saturday of 2009 was sponsored by restau-

rants, individuals, organizations, or municipal departments, and volunteer entertainment! Now, 13 years later – even through restricted COVID-19 time, Days of Warming is still a great success.

MEDICARE PLANNING HELP Turning 65? Confused with Medicare and all of its options? Need individual help?

YORK Beginning in January and running through March, York Public Library will host a retrospective of watercolors and paintings by Patience Haley (1926-2020). Well known in her later life for her large vibrant watercolors of flowers, Haley was also a teacher, conservationist, and art restorer at several museums. Several paintings by her husband Panos Ghikas (19172012) and prints by her sister Priscilla Haley will also be on display. Patience E. Haley was born in 1926 in Boston, MA, and passed away in York in August 2020 at 94 years of age. She attended the opening in 1953 of the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and had a watercolor show there in 2016. Haley was an active member of the Ogunquit artist colonies during the 1950s

and forward. As a master gilder and egg tempera expert, Ghikas executed a mural in gold leaf for the World Trade Center’s 110th floor restaurant Windows on the World. He and Patience restored historic murals by Barry Faulkner at the Averill Harriman estate in Harriman, NY. He lived and worked in Boston for 50 years before moving to Maine in 1991. Priscilla was primarily known for her printmaking and was a member of the York Art Association. Her work reflects Maine, its rugged coast, islands, and ever-changing sea. An opening reception will be held Tuesday, January 11, 5-6:30 p.m. The York Public library is located at 15 Long Sands Road, York.

NATIONWIDE Everyone already knows that Betty White – actress, comedian, author, pioneer – passed away on New Year’s Eve at the age of 99 – just shy of her 100th birthday celebration. But did you know that you can still take part in the celebration, now turned tribute, in Newington? Regal Fox Run Stadium 15, 45 Gosling Road, Newington, is one of the few places in New England that will be showing the documentary “Betty White: 100 Years Young” on January 17. Betty Marion White was born in Oak Park, IL, on January 17, 1922, and died of natural causes in her home in Los Ange-

in 2018, and many awards to follow. White also published several books, starting with “Betty White’s Pet-Love: How Pets Take Care of Us” in 1983, and ending with “Betty & Friends: My Life at the Zoo” in 2011. In 2012, White received her first Grammy Award for the audio recording of “If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won’t)”. Wikipedia.org also noted, “White’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was flooded with flowers and tributes within hours of the announcement of her death” and that Oak Park Mayor Vicki Scaman hopes to recognize Betty White Day annually on January 17. Steve Boettcher and Mike Trinklein recently produced “Betty White: 100 Years Young” in order to celebrate White’s 100th birthday but now plan to share it as a tribute. They released a statement saying:

Our hearts mourn today with the passing of Betty White. During the many years we worked with her, we developed a great love and admiration for Betty as a person, and as an accomplished entertainer. We are thankful for the many decades of delight she brought to everyone. Betty always said she was the “luckiest broad on two feet” to have had a career as long as she did. And honestly, we were the lucky ones to have had her for so long. We will go forward with our plans to show the film on January 17 in hopes our film will provide a way for all who loved her to celebrate her life – and experience what made her such a national treasure. This celebration of America’s sweetheart is an opportunity to remember Betty White’s amazing life and career. It’s a time to come together and enjoy Betty’s classic moments on [TV]. Drawing from her final interview, this

les, CA, on December 31, 2021. Wikipedia.org noted that “Betty was her legal name and not a shortened version of Elizabeth”, along with the following details: White was a pioneer of early television as the first woman to produce a sitcom (Life with Elizabeth) in the United States, and was often referred to as the “First Lady of Television”. She was also the “First Lady of Game Shows” as a staple panelist of American game shows like Hollywood Squares, and became the first woman to receive the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host. Her biggest roles included Sue Ann Nivens on the CBS sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rose Nylund on the NBC sitcom The Golden Girls, and Elka Ostrovsky on the TV Land sitcom Hot in Cleveland. White worked longer in television than anyone else in that medium, earning her a Guinness World Record

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Happy New Year! Flanders deserves to be our first featured kitty of 2022, because he’s made such huge progress in socializing recently. He should be rewarded with a great forever home since he’s shown the shelter team that he’s got lots of love and affection to give. Like so many of the kitties that come to Safe Haven, Flanders was a stray. He was living with two other tagalong strays. No one claimed them, but everyone noticed they were hungry and without shelter. Surrendered to Safe Haven, Flanders tested positive for FIV – not uncommon for unneutered male cats. Our vet thinks Flanders is about 6-8 years old. His one eye suffered long-ago damage while living a hard life outdoors. It’s an old injury, so he needs no surgery or medication.

Flanders is a large kitty, big-boned, strong and very handsome. His blue eyes suggest a Siamese heritage. His white coat and light orange spots and our team at the shelter adore him. Flanders has been neutered and is up to date with all his vaccinations. He is healthy and enjoys the company of other kitties. Flanders is so affectionate, he will weave around your feet to get your attention. Because of that, we think it’s best that he is not in the home of anyone elderly. He could accidentally trip them. He’d be happy in a home with older, cat-loving children, other (friendly) cats. Experienced cat people understand that when he’s adopted into a new place, Flanders will temporarily regress to his old survival mode and hide. Once he knows where he is and trusts you, he’ll be out and about, giving you his attention and love.

Wednesday-Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1784 Post Road Wells. We’ll resume receiving donations on Saturday, January 8, 12-3 p.m. Quality donations for the home, including kitchen, home décor, linens (we appreciate it if you’d mark the size please), antiques, anything

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, I bought a new laptop last summer and it came with Windows 10. For the past few weeks, Windows has been nagging me to upgrade to the new Windows 11. I feel like I am just getting used to Windows 10. Should I upgrade? If I decide I do want to upgrade, will I be charged anything? Thank you, Elisa

the computer and your internet service (the upgrade is approximately 5GB). If post-upgrade you decide you do not like Windows 11, you have ten days to revert to Windows 10. After the ten days, you lose the ability to rollback and must either stick with Windows 11 or start fresh with a new installation of Windows 10. Good luck! Matt

Dear Elisa, My initial reaction to your question is, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” If you are currently happy with everything about your laptop running on Windows 10 and you have not seen anything new in Windows 11 that you feel you need, my advice would be to hold off. Windows 10 will be supported through October 14, 2025, so you will continue to get patches and security updates until then. If you do decide to upgrade to Windows 11, it will not cost you anything besides your time. The amount of time you will spend upgrading varies based on the speed of both

familiar with and have recommended to dozens of parents is Disney Circle. It is quite easy to install and configure, comes with presets that will likely work for you right out of the box, and will provide you with a lot of insight into how your kids are spending time on the Internet. Once installed, you do all the management from your cell phone. In a nutshell, you create a profile for each person in your home and then add their devices to their profile. You can then go into each profile and choose how you want to restrict that user, if at all. You can access all the setting from home or anywhere you have internet access. If you have devices that you do not want to restrict, you can either have a generic profile with no restrictions or you can simply tell Circle not to manage that device. We did the latter and it worked out great for us! Disney Circle can be purchased with either a 1-year subscription (https://amzn.to/3HwMbm2) or a lifetime subscription (https://amzn.to/3FPAZjF). Good luck! Matt

Dear Tommy, This one is a loaded question as there are many variables

here that need to be discussed. There are two pieces to your internet service provider (ISP) puzzle that we need to differentiate: the actual broadband service and the equipment. In my experience, most of the problems people have with internet service is not with the service itself but rather the equipment being used to deliver that service. ISPs typically provide a cable modem and WiFi router combo that connects to the standard coax cable that is in the home or business. Much like the cable box that connects to your TV to deliver television, this cable modem / router is what provides your home with internet access. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to see any of the cable modem/router combos that the cable companies provide do a decent job of providing reliable service for any amount of time. For this reason, I recommend folks buy their own cable modem WITHOUT the built-in router and then buy a WiFi router separately. Most all cable modems will work with the larger cable companies, but you need to make sure you purchase one that is compatible with the services level (speed) from your ISP for which you are paying. For example, the Netgear CM500 (https://amzn.to/ 3JAgny7) is approved for Spectrum plans up to 400Mbps while xfinity only supports it to their 200Mbps plan. If you currently

have a faster subscription or if you are thinking of bumping up to a faster subscription soon, I recommend going with the Motorola MB7621 (https://amzn. to/3eGs34i). This modem is supported by xfinity up to their 800Mbps tier. If you currently have or are thinking about going to Gigabit+ speeds, I highly recommend either the Motorola MB8611 (https://amzn.to/3JLWncj) or the ARRIS Surf board S33 as they support speeds up to 2.5Gbps. Once you have decided on which cable modem best fits your environment, you need to decide on a WiFi router. There are dozens of manufacturers and hundreds, if not thousands, of models to choose from. Personally, I have been incredibly happy with the performance, stability, and ease of use of Google WiFi Mesh WiFi System. They can be purchased as a single-pack that covers up to 1,500 square feet (https://amzn. to/3mQ9QWl) or a 3-pack that covers up to 4,500 square feet (https://amzn.to/3ERjWwq). Installation is very straightforward and simple for even for non-technical folks! There are many other options out there, too, that may be an even better fit for your environment. If you have a large area that you are trying to cover, you are going to want to find a WiFi Mesh system and stay away from repeaters or signal boosters that promise to get you better coverage. I will not say they are quite snake oil, but they are as close as you can get! Good luck and thank you for writing in! Matt Interested in learning more?

FINANCE & CAREER New Year is A Good Time to Revisit Financial Goals The holiday expenses may be looming on the credit card bill, or perhaps the bank balance is a little lighter from the extra gifts exchanged with family and friends but the beginning of a new year is a great time to take thoughtful steps in managing and reaching financial goals. When thinking about current finances and sticking to a New Year’s Resolution, consider these tips from BBB: Inventory your credit

cards. Credit cards are known to have high interest rates, and this can waste a lot of money over time. Reach out to the credit card company to see if a balance transfer offer can be used to switch to a card with a lower rate or ask if the interest rate can be lowered. Resarch the financial institute where the credit card is held on BBB.org first. Read the terms and contract very carefully – there may be big penalties if a payment is missed. If you have multiple cards, decide which debt-paying strategy is best

for you. Some experts recommend paying off cards with the highest interest rates first. Others recommend paying off cards with the smallest balances first. Additionally, try sending in payments throughout the month. Put the $5 that would have been spent on a morning coffee towards debt instead. Avoid wasting money on unethical businesses or scams. When making a purchase or choosing a business, check with BBB. Making careful decisions

now can save time, money, and headaches later. Research all companies at BBB.org to see what scams are happening in your area. Take advantage of free tools. There are many online tools that can help manage and reduce debt. Start budgeting. Creating a written budget and tracking spending is one of the best ways to save money and stop spending more than what is earned. First, figure out how much debt you have; you need an accurate

picture before you can figure out your budget. Note the difference between fixed expenses, needs, and wants. If you have debt, include repayment goals in your budget. If possible, factor in retirement and emergency savings. Save money by giving up morning coffee - and cooking at home instead of getting takeout. Factor in any alternate income that you can think of, like selling unused items or part-time work in the gig economy.

Sara Gideon Donates $3.5M to Build HOPE Project AUGUSTA Sara Gideon, former Speaker of the House and candidate for US Senate, announced a $3.5 million contribution of leftover campaign funds to establish the new Build HOPE Project at Maine Equal Justice (MEJ). Maine Equal Justice is a nonprofit, civil legal aid and economic justice organization working to increase economic security, opportunity, and equity for people in Maine. The Build HOPE Project will work to create economic opportunity for parents today and their children tomorrow, creating pathways out of poverty to help working parents complete their post-secondary degrees or credential program. “During my time in the Maine Legislature, I worked closely with Maine Equal Justice, enacting real reforms to help move people out of poverty and into the workforce. Creating these opportunities for families means more Maine kids reach their full potential,” said Gideon. “This gift will provide immediate and significant support to working parents earning their degree, to their children –- and ultimately to the entire state – by increasing the numbers of higher skilled workers badly needed by Maine’s employers and our economy.

While HOPE provides critical support that can enable parents and caregivers to go back to school and succeed, some students still struggle to make ends meet over the course of their program. A recent survey conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services supported the need for this emergency fund finding that: Over 60% of students are unable to pay car-related costs; Over 58% don’t have the funds needed for school supplies; Over 53% cannot afford internet access needed to participate in their schooling and Over 44% cannot afford utility costs. Eighty-three percent of HOPE students have difficulty making ends meet at the end of each month, and 59% of them are just $100-$300 short of what they need to make ends meet on their family budget. The Build HOPE Fund, administered by Maine Equal Justice, will help to address these needs when students require financial assistance during the course of their participation in HOPE. The Build HOPE Fund will also be available to low-income parents with children participating in the Parents as Scholars program, which is similar to HOPE and available to lower income families. “The HOPE Program provides critical support to low-income parents working their way

through school. Help with child care, transportation, and books and supplies can make the difference when it comes to success completing a degree,” said Robyn Merrill, executive director at Maine Equal Justice. Additionally, the Build HOPE project will provide policymakers with reliable evidence that can inform long-term, systemic policy improvements to increase economic opportunities for parents and their children. Data from HOPE participants who access the Fund will be collected by Maine Equal Justice for analysis. The project will begin in January of 2022. For more in-

Health & Fitness Tips to Help Mainers Quit Tobacco AUGUSTA Along with hitting the gym more often and starting a diet, quitting smoking tops many New Year’s resolution lists. Quitting tobacco isn’t easy, but 50 million ex-smokers in the United States are proof that it’s achievable. Tobacco use remains the nation’s leading cause of preventable death and disease and is a serious public health threat. Nationally, nearly 40 million Americans smoke. According

to the Lung Association’s State of Tobacco Control report In Maine, the adult smoking rate is 17.6% and high school tobacco use rate is 33%. To encourage people to quit smoking, vaping and using all tobacco products in 2022, the American Lung Association is promoting “No Tobacco ’22”. To help people quit, the organization is sharing tips and resources through social media and www.lung.org. “More than 70% of smokers want to quit smoking and 40%

will make an attempt this year, but only between 4 and 7% can quit without support. Smokers and tobacco users who want to quit should make a plan to be successful such as setting quit date, understanding smoking triggers, talking to a doctor about quit smoking medications and finding support through family, friends and cessation programs,” said Jennifer Folkenroth, National Senior Director, Tobacco Programs, the American Lung Association. The American Lung Association offers five tips to help Americans who are ready to

get a flu shot, paid for by VA and show your government-issued ID and the Billing Information Card. There is no copayment charge if your visit consists only of a flu vaccine. In addition, flu-vaccine only visits do not count toward visits and/or copayments associated with using VA’s urgent care benefit.

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME

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 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

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.

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 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

125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com

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.

Malcolm Eugene Foss, 104 KITTERY POINT – Malcolm Eugene Foss died Thursday, December 23, 2021, at the miraculous age of 104. He holds the Boston Post Cane as the oldest citizen of Kittery. He was born in Northwood, NH, on September 5, 1917, to Frank L. and Hazel G. Foss. One of five children, he attended elementary school in Northwood and Pittsfield, NH, before graduating from R.W. Traip Academy in Kittery with the class of 1936. He is survived by his three daughters, Nancy A. and J. Randall Lawson, Susan J. and Henry I. Martin, and Judith L. Lynch and Thomas Grieg all of Kittery Point; seven grandchildren, James Lawson, Maryann Welch, Michael Johnson, Sara Rodriguez, Katie Martin, Sandra Kelley, and Jill O’Hara; 18 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Marjorie L. in 2009 and son Ronald Malcolm in 1952. Malcolm served in the Civilian Conservation Corps before joining the Army on March 10, 1941. He served in the 101st Army Radio Signal Intelligence Corp known as MS-5 on Honolulu, HI. While in Hawaii, he sent an engagement ring through the mail to Marjorie L. Lewis. They were married on January 21, 1945, soon after his return. They enjoyed 64 years of marriage together.

WANTED: PICKUP TRUCK 2008-2012, 4WD, with or without plow, to maintain long driveway. Older is okay if in good condition. Will pay cash. Call or text 207-650-7297.

He worked on the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for 27 years, retiring as an Electrical Inspector in Nuclear Power in 1972. Malcolm served more than 60 years at the First Christian Church of Kittery Point as a deacon, trustee and other positions before retiring as a Deacon Emeritus. Malcolm became known as a kind, gentle, amazing man who had the perfect car and driveway. He was mowing his lawn and blowing snow at the age of 100+ years. The Foss girls remember many road trips to the White Mountains or Kentucky to see their cousins. Dad was always ready to travel, and his bag was always kept handy. A period of visitation for Malcolm will be held 4-6 p.m. on Friday, January 7 at the J. S. Pelkey and Son Funeral Home, 125 Old Post Road, Kittery. A 10 a.m. Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at the First Christian Church, 542 Haley Road, Kittery Point, on January 8. Masks are requested for all visitors.

Surviving are her daughter Mitzi Coran and husband Wally of North Berwick; five very special grandchildren, Jason Staples, Danny Staples, Jessica (Staples) Walker, Randy

McLean, and Krystle McLean; and several great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, whom she truly adored. At her request, there will be no services. A special thank you to Wentworth Home Care and Hospice for taking such special care of her.

People and Business Profiles Cheryl Farley Joins Gosselin Realty Group in York YORK Whether a playhouse, a show house, or your house, Cheryl Farley has what it takes to make the home of your dreams a reality. Her career has spanned thirty years here on the seacoast with extensive experience in sales, advertising, marketing, social media, community relations and historic preservation, along with a proven record of setting goals and getting positive results. Before getting into the real estate business, Farley was Community Relations Director for Old York Historical Society, where she worked tirelessly for the museum’s endeavors, including coordinating the annual Decorator Show House fundraisers for many years. She also coordinated the Decorator Show Houses at Cabot Cove and Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport, to support several local charities there. She went on to the legendary Ogunquit Playhouse, where she headed the Marketing & Communications department for 14 years. During

her time at the playhouse, she helped grow the non-profit organization from a $1 million to $12 million organization, growing audiences and expanding ticket sales. Farley spearheaded the effort to raise the theatre’s Historic Register status to National Significance, and to create and help pass a referendum for a special theatre zone in Ogunquit. Both of these efforts have cemented the beloved theatre’s viability for generations to come. In addition to her work, Farley served for many years on the board of the Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce, was the founder and past chair of the annual York Festival of Lights, and a former member of Ogunquit Rotary. She is currently serving on the board of Old York Historical Society and is a member of the York Art Association and Old York Garden Club. She earned her BA in American Studies and Small Business Management at Franklin Pierce University, graduating Suma

Cum Laude. She earned a Certificate of Interior Design from the University of New Hampshire, where she also studied Western Architecture. Farley is now proud to be working with Gosselin Realty Group as a Licensed Realtor® in Maine and New Hampshire, combining her passions, interests, skills, and high standards for professionalism. Gosselin Realty Group is located at 647 Route 1, York. For more information, visit www. teamgosselin.com or call 207363-2414.

York Hospital Welcomes New Medical Staff YORK York Hospital is pleased to announce the arrival of the following providers to its medical staff. The hospitalist team welcomes Sophia Adams, DO and Erin Cullen, AGACNP-BC, while Teressa Peck, FNP-C joins York Family Practice as the newest provider. Sophia Adams, DO, joins her colleagues on the hospitalist team after completing an AB degree from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Pre-Medical Program at University of Southern Maine in Portland, and DO at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biddeford. She performed her residency at Maine Dartmouth Family Medicine in Augusta, and Maine Medical Center in Portland. Dr. Adams has held

similar positions as a hospitalist at Millinocket Regional Hospital, Millinocket, and Maine Medical Center in Portland. Additionally, Dr. Adams was previously a vein specialist at the Vein Healthcare Center in South Portland, where she gained expertise in performing varicose vein procedures. She has enjoyed volunteer opportunities with the Biddeford Free Clinic, Healthcare for the Homeless, Planned Parenthood and Sagamore Health Center in Portland. “As a hospitalist, I look forward to joining the York Hospital team, connecting with patients, along with the process of continual learning,” said Dr. Adams. Erin Cullen, MSN, AGACNP-BC, York Hospital’s newest hospitalist, earned her BSN at Southern New Hampshire Uni-

2021 Maine Parade of Homes Winners YORK COUNTY The Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Maine (HBRAME) announced the winners of the inaugural 2021 Maine Parade of Homes event. Chase Construction of Wells was named the Judge’s Choice award winner for their submitted entry “Perkins Overlook”. The award for People’s Choice went to Southern Maine Remodeling of Scarborough for their submitted entry “Contemporary Addition”. Judging panelist, and Founder of Maine Life Media, Erin Ovalle said “Each one had something so special but I think one definitely stood out for just overall greatness. The Perkins Overlook home has custom features like the stunning built-ins around the fireplace and a painted claw foot tub that really stood out. For me, small details go a long way, but the home has a great use of space overall. It is large, but doesn’t feel overwhelming.” The Ogunquit home’s exceptional timber framing design takes it to a whole new level with beautiful use of color throughout. Trending features include a black metal staircase railing and built-in locker style shelving units for the mudroom. Unique interior features found in the home include an expansive custom library with a classic rolling library the Family Nurse Practitioner Program at Simmons College in Boston. She earned her both her BS and MS in Nursing from Simmons College. Previously, Peck has been employed by Beth Israel HealthCare in Needham, MA, where she worked in internal medicine and also at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Boston as a travel medicine and infectious disease nurse.

ladder, stained wood beams, wide shiplap paneling, and designer accent walls in the bathrooms and children’s bunk room. The “Contemporary Addition” from Southern Maine Remodeling was also a stand out project at the Maine Parade of Homes and named winner of People’s Choice award. Southern Maine Remodeling built a large addition on the back of the Scarborough home to create an expansive new kitchen with a much needed pantry area. The backyard received some upgrades as well: a new composite Azek deck, a patio with a firepit and hot tub area. With the help of industry sponsors, including the Headlining Sponsors Hammond Lumber Company, OSC Web Design, and Maine Homes by Down East magazine, nine projects were presented in a virtual format using 360° virtual reality technology. The properties ranged in location from urban to coastal to lake front. Sarah Stebbins, Editor of Maine Homes by Down East magazine, said “I loved reading the stories contractors submitted and seeing their clever approaches to building dream homes and improving existing spaces. Their work changes people’s lives for the better and it was gratifying to play a small part in honoring them.” All ticket sales from the 2021 Maine Parade of Homes were donated to the Central Maine Community College. The Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Maine is a non-profit trade association affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders. HBRAME dedicates itself to community-building, the professional success and integrity of its members and a strong economic future for homes and housing in Maine.

Winter Fishing in Maine

STATEWIDE Like to fish but can’t wait for summer? Ice fishing in Maine is great outdoor recreation and fun for the whole family. January is a great time to target Maine’s beautiful brook trout. Whether stocked or wild,

brook trout are cruising the shores looking for an easy meal. Try fishing in less than five feet of water with a small hook, small bait such as a minnow or trout worm, and over a gravel bottom or near a rocky structure. Maine Department of Inland Fisheries

& Wildlife (MDIFW) stocked thousands of brook trout across Maine for ice fishing season, so check the stocking report online at www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing-boating/fishing/fishing-resources/fish-stocking-report. html for water near you. Try jigging: All season long you will hear fisheries biologists tell you to try jigging - it significantly increases your chances of catching fish! If after a few minutes you do not get any bites, try a new hole. Spoons, Swedish pim-

ples, and cast masters are always a good go-to to jig off the bottom for lake trout or brook trout. Warm water species are great for beginners: When introducing someone to the sport of ice fishing, no matter their age, target warm water species such as bass, pickerel, and perch! For beginners, an action-filled day is much more exciting than waiting on a picky trout (save that for another time!) Top the day off with hot chocolate and a tasty meal on the ice, bring a football to pass between flags

or a pair of ice skates, and make sure they dress appropriately with spare socks and gloves. Find additional fishing tips and recommended places to try, see the January fishing report from Maine’s fisheries biologists at www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing-boating/fishing/fishing-resources/fishing-report.html.
