39th Annual Maine Maple Sunday Weekend Announced STATEWIDE To kick off the state’s annual celebration of pure Maine maple syrup and the Maine people who produce it, Governor Janet Mills and Maine Maple Producers Association President Scott Dunn tapped the Blaine House Maple Tree last weekend ahead of this year’s Maine Maple Sunday Weekend which is March 26-27. “Maine Maple Sunday Weekend is an opportunity for us all to celebrate the world class products – and people – that make Maine unique. Our iconic maple syrup industry supports thousands of jobs, strengthens our economy, and sets us apart nationwide,” said Governor Mills. “One of the benefits of maple syrup in Maine is that we have a diverse climate – colder in the north and warming up in the south – along with mineral enriched soils,” said Dunn. “This leads to unique syrup f lavors, depending on the sugarbush you visit.” Maple syrup producers nationwide grappled with price drops, event cancellations, and restaurant closures during the pandemic. To support Maine’s maple syrup producers, Governor Mills dedicated federal coronavirus relief funds to Maine’s maple producers through her

Agriculture and Food Processing Infrastructure Reimbursement Program. Governor Mills also called on the USDA to designate maple syrup as an eligible
Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) specialty crop. They agreed and made maple sap an eligible commodity for critical economic relief payments. Annually, maple syrup contributes an estimated $49 million in production value, over 800 full- and part-time jobs, and more than $25 million in labor income to Maine’s economy. Maine is the third-largest producer of maple syrup nationwide. “Maple syrup season is just around the corner, which is a good reminder that spring is on its way, too,” said Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Commissioner Amanda Beal. “Our maple sugaring families across the state make Maine Maple Sunday Weekend a delicious, fun, and educational event, and I hope everyone makes plans to visit some sugarhouses on March 26-27 to partake in the celebration and to support our producers.” Most sugarhouses offer maple syrup samples and demonstrations on how pure Maine maple syrup is made. Many farms offer games, activities, treats, and sugarbush tours. Each site is dif-
ferent, so visitors should review schedules and hours of operation, types of complimentary or ticketed activities, samples, tours, shopping, etc. online before attending. Local sugarhouses include Chase Farm in Wells (making their own maple syrup daily), Maple Moon Farm in Lebanon, Giles Family Farm in Alfred, and Douston Maple & Honey in Arundel.

Noble Students Named Finalists in CubeSat Competition
NORTH BERWICK Following a weeks-long design phase led by University of Southern Maine faculty and current and former NASA engineers and scientists, USM’s second annual CubeSat Design Competition (UCDC) has selected nine finalists for 2022 to proceed with building and launching their designs this spring – and Noble Middle School is among them! Cube satellites, or “CubeSats,” are a class of small cubeshaped research spacecraft, typically weighing less than 3 lbs., that have created a new era of space discovery as well as hands-
on STEM education opportunities for K-12 and college students. Led by USM engineering faculty members Dr. Scott J. Eaton and Dr. Asheesh Ravikumar Lanba, the USM CubeSat Design Competition brings together teams of middle and high school students from across Maine for a fun, engaging, and educational competition. Each team is provided with a 3Dprinted CubeSat chassis designed and manufactured onsite in Portland by the University of Southern Maine’s Maker Innovation Studio (MIST). Teams were also provided an Arduino program-

ming-based CubeSat kit (a $100 value) and 15 hours of virtual instruction on space science and technology, engineering design, team building, leadership, project management, mission planning, and Arduino hardware programming. Guest educators included current and former NASA engineers and scientists Garrett Skrobot (NASA Launch Services), Gary Golnik (James Webb Space Telescope optical engineer), and Andrew Klesh (NASA CubeSat engineer). As Maine carves out a place for itself in the space industry, USM has been at the forefront of developing CubeSat technology and cultivating STEM opportunities for local students. Beginning in 2020, USM partnered with the Maine Space Consortium to hold the first of a series of NASA-funded CubeSat workshops attended by several Maine high schools. USM is one of several institutions working collaboratively toward Maine’s ultimate goal of establishing a spaceport from which to launch satellites into orbit, as Maine is

the only place on the eastern seaboard where this is feasible. “The University of Southern Maine is pleased to see the growing response from Maine schools to our competition. The participants are learning critical STEM and leadership skills to help them become future leaders in science and engineering in a fun and engaging way,” said Dr. Eaton. Finalists will build and launch their designs in early June 2022. For more information, visit https://tinyurl.com/2pdfjbcn or email scott.eaton@maine.edu.
Drone Technology Could Help Combat Browntail Moths STATEWIDE After five years enduring a rain of toxic hairs from browntail moth caterpillars, Sally Donelson is ready for a novel solution. She has to suit up at her family’s lakefront camp in Litchfield, duct-taping gloves and socks to minimize exposure and showering as soon as she returns indoors. Donelson is concerned that their infested oak trees could die due to repeated BTM defoliation, as trees have on nearby properties. Last winter, a licensed pesticide applicator treated their oaks, but it didn’t seem to help. She recalled, “I’ve never seen so many BTM caterpillars.” This winter, Donelson’s getting help from on high: a drone carrying a robotic attachment with a rotating saw blade to sever branch tips with BTM webs. She is hiring arborist Eben Mann, of Mann’s Lumber and Tree in Litchfield, to use his newly acquired drone tool, developed by DeLeaves, a small company in Sherbrooke, Quebec, that designs drone-mounted branch-cutting equipment. The robotic attachment, already used by numerous university research-

NOW INTERVIEWING FOR THE LNA TRAINING PROGRAM
The Previously Enslaved Persons Community of Kennebunk by the MHPC. Artifacts have been on display since March 11. The artifacts were uncovered during three archaeological surveys in Kennebunk on what is referred to as “The Previously Enslaved Persons Community of Kennebunk.” These surveys were initiated and funded by the Town of Kennebunk’s Bicentennial Committee as their 2020 Legacy Project at the urging of its chairman, Kathy Ostrander Roberts. The existence of the com-
munity had been mentioned in very old local histories; however the location was lost to time. References to deceased land owners and old roads, whose names had been changed years ago, were carefully researched by Ostrander Roberts to determine the exact location. Armed with her research, the committee was able to secure the involvement of the State Archaeologists to further investigate the site. “The members of our Bicentennial Committee felt the See ARTIFACTS page 12 . . .

Berwick resident Anne Vaughan has a second exhibit of her oil paintings up at the Berwick Public Library through March. Photo by Ralph Morang.
BERWICK Anne Vaughan’s artwork once again returns to the Berwick Public Library with a new exhibit of her oil paintings, through April. Vaughan says her large landscapes are inspired by local scenes, the Little River near her Berwick home among them. During the pandemic, she has painted still-lifes in her studio, inspired by the painters of elaborate containers and native pottery. Vaughan has lived in Berwick for 10 years, but had a former life there for 10 years in the 1960s. She has also lived in Pennsylvania and Georgia, working as an attorney representing people in poverty to gain access to public benefits. She also

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Student Honored by New York Times for Artwork WELLS Wells High School junior Tanya Thakong has received an Honorable Mention in the “Coming of Age in 2021” contest of the New York Times (NYT) for teenagers. This recognition is for her artwork titled “Asian’s Fears,” a collage of news headlines and images that highlight racism and hate crimes towards Asians in the era of COVID-19. Her collage also brings attention to the unusual beauty trend that has gained popularity in the last few years known as “Fox Eye.” In the NYT contest, over 4,000 students entered work of varying topics submitted in different forms, including writings, photos, drawings, audio, and video to express what it was like being a teenager during the challenging second year of the pandemic. Thakong indicated that she and some of her friends have experienced racist comments in the past two years while in a city environment. “Since COVID-19, many Asians, including myself, are having a difficult time just because we are Asian,” noted Thakong in her contest statement. “The Anti-Asian Hate Crime movement is shaping my generation.” Although racism against Asians is not new to America, COVID-19 has increased and complicated this xenophobic issue, in part due to the unfair association of Asians with where many believe the coronavirus originated. As a result, many Asians and Pacific Islanders

living in the US and elsewhere have experienced increasing racism in the form of offensive comments and violence, causing fear, isolation, injury, and even death. According to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, police statistics from around the US indicate that antiAsian hate crimes increased in the US by 339 percent in 2021. The centerpiece of Thakong’s work is a striking image of a friend’s face half-covered with the image of a fox with a slanted eye and a pandemic mask. This ref lects Thakong’s feelings towards the fox-eye beauty fad in which non-Asians attempt to appear Asian by having a minimally invasive procedure to achieve that look. “It’s unfair for having something like that be used as a beauty trend,” said Thakong, who, along with many Asians, find the trend racially offensive and insensitive to their experiences with racism. Thakong hopes her artwork illustrates that not all racism is directed towards African Americans but also towards the Asian community. “It’s challenging to change the mindset of society in a year or more, but in the future, I hope that Asian people don’t have to live in fear anymore,” added Thakong, who wishes everyone would treat each other equally regardless of one’s race. Emily Knight is Tanya’s art teacher at Wells High School. “It is truly special to witness young artists use their art to communi-

cate with authenticity and conviction,” commented Knight in an email. “It can be difficult and intimidating. When Tanya addressed the ‘Coming of Age in 2021’ contest, she didn’t dilute her ideas, she rose to the prompt and used the opportunity as a platform to share her experience. I am glad that the New York Times recognized her efforts and am proud to be able to help her as she continues to create.” Image to right: A collage created by WHS student Tanya Thakong.

“Aqualung,” probably the most famous and celebrated of all of Jethro Tull’s albums, is now celebrating 50 years since its release in 1971. At the centre of Tull’s unique sound is guitarist Martin Barre, who is renowned for his formidable mastery of historic riffs, power chords and soaring melodic solos. Martin is celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Aqualung” with a worldwide tour through 2022. He will be bringing a spectacular show playing the album in its entirety with his touring band, The Martin Barre Band,
featuring Dan Crisp on lead vocals, Alan Thomson on bass, and Darby Todd on drums. Martin states, “‘Aqualung’ was the album that defined Tull. Sumptuous melodies, big dynamics, and power riffs galore. Acoustic met electric . . . and it all worked.” The anniversary tour will be performed at Jonathan’s in Ogunquit on Saturday, March 2, at 8 p.m. in the upstairs listening room. Tickets are available at http://tickets.jonathansogunquit.com or by calling 207-6464777. Restaurant owner Jonathan West said, “This is the best way

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ WHS Players Present A Spring Play WELLS The Wells High School Players are excited to return to the stage of the Olenn Auditorium at the high school (WHS) with their live production of “Same Room, Different Story,” a vignette play written by Claire Broome. The show will run through March 26. “Same Room” uses the same stage set to explore six completely different stories and gives the actors an opportunity to stretch their acting muscles after their long hiatus brought on by COVID-19 restrictions. This production is directed by Andrew Lopez and features a dedicated, talented cast and crew of 24 high school students. “Same Room” is produced by special arrangement with Theatrefolk, a drama teacher resource company. According to the play’s description at www.theatrefolk. com, “A teenager’s bedroom is important. It’s a place to hide, to consider choices, to reveal. And sometimes it’s a place to practice the periodic table. Stories can be found under the bed, in a suitcase, in a box that may or may not hold body parts. This vignette play explores relationships and situations that speak to today’s teens in a variety of genres with flexible gender roles.” The show opens with a matinee on Wednesday, March
23 at 3:30 p.m. Seats for the matinee are $5 with free admission to students and senior citizens. The show will continue with evening performances on March 24 at 6:30 p.m., March 25 and March 26 at 7 p.m. Seats for the evening performances are $8 for the general public and $5 for students and senior citizens. In order to maintain safety and distancing, a limited number of tickets will be sold online at www.eventbrite. com and at the door.

BTM caterpillars, an invasive insect from Europe, are not eaten by Maine birds, which is partly why the moth has overtaken 200,000 acres. Recog nizing the environmental harm of applying
~ News ~ pesticides and cutting oaks in response to BTM, Anita Brosius-Scott of Camden was on the lookout for a better fix. When she learned about forestry uses of drones in 2019, she recalled, “I went after it like a dog with a bone.” W hen Brosius-Scot t learned of the DeLeaves forestsampling tool, she sent them background information and wrote, “We have a big problem.
We need your help.” But a visit to Maine by their engineers was delayed when the border closed due to COVID-19. Only in December 2021 were they able to come show local residents how their device worked. One person helping host their visit was Tom Massey of Rockland, a licensed arborist and UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) pilot who runs Active Intelligence, a drone mapping
and photography company. He was game to learn more about the cutting device the second he heard of it. He watched videos online of the DeLeaves tool in action but wasn’t sure it could work fast enough for an arborist to make it economical. Using the drone-mounted robotic tool at the demonstration persuaded Massey that “in rapid succession, you can effectively and efficiently remove an
infestation in trees.” For an experienced drone pilot, he added, “the learning curve was almost nothing.” The DJI Matrice 300 drone used in the demonstration has self-heating batteries that can work in the winter, the ideal time for web removal. With the robotic tool in place, it can operate for about 35 minutes before needing a fresh battery. Massey
What is the cost to license a dog? For an “altered” dog, the www.maine.gov total cost is $7 for a new license or a license renewal. The total cost for an “unaltered” dog is $12 for a new license or license renewal which includes funds to develop, maintain, and enhance the online service as well as the State’s official web portal. This online service is operated without any state government funding.
How do I register a service dog online? This application is unable to determine if a dog being registered is a service dog or not. To that end, the registration fee will be assessed for each dog registered online. If you do have a service dog, and want to register it online, you may do so but you will need to contact your town office so that they can verify the dog’s service status and issue a refund for the registration fees assessed online. Please note, first-time service dog registrants will also need to contact the town office to obtain a service dog request form.

Safe Haven Human Society WELLS Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Safe Haven must have the luck of the Irish to have a kitty by the name of Danny who just happens to be looking for a lovely, happy home on this festive day. Danny lived outside for about a year and a half. People didn’t know if he had a home or not; but during the winter months it became apparent that he was homeless, since he was outside all the time. Caring people watched over him, and eventually he was brought to Safe Haven for his own protection, health, and loving care. It turns out that Danny is a remarkable love of a kitty. He is a very handsome 2-3-year-old neutered male tiger/white kitty who loves people and being held. He’s happy to receive affection and shows no sign of fear or aggressiveness. He can’t wait to have a family of his very own to spoil him. Danny’s best family would be one that has plenty of love and attention to give. Older children
who are cat friendly, and furry family members who are gentle and playful around kitties would be great for Danny. Please apply online at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org or make an appointment to meet him by calling our shelter at 207-646-1611. Thanks so much! This Friday, March 18, Safe Haven’s thrift, vintage, antique shop at 1784 Post Road is donating all the proceeds of the day’s sales to a Polish no-kill shelter that is assisting rescued Ukrainian animals. We hope to help by raising money to pay for the animals’ food, medicine, and supplies. Please tell your friends!

He would do well in an adult home or with kids over ten years old; and maybe with another cat friend. If you would like to meet this handsome, striped boy, call 207-676-5599. Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer organization in North Berwick. We are currently caring for several rescue cats and kittens and need wet and dry cat food (Blue Buffalo or Rachael Ray Nutrish). Food donations can be left in our drop box at 30 Meeting House Road.
Open 11am-4pm Wednesday-Sunday
Help us pay our vet bills and other expenses! Donations Accepted 12-3pm on Saturdays Only (FMI 207-229-8314)

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, I have an Excel spreadsheet on my desktop computer that I use for my family’s budget. I track all our income and expenses this way. I recently got a new laptop and want to be able to work on the spreadsheet from both computers. What is the best way to put it on a USB stick so I can just stick the USB stick in the computer I want to use? Thanks, RJ Dear RJ, My wife uses Excel for the very same thing! Excel has a ton of practical uses that get overlooked. I do not know if it is because a huge, blank worksheet is so intimidating to inexperienced users or if folks just feel like it is too much to learn, but I wished more folks would embrace it as you have! So, while putting it on a USB stick sounds easy enough, I must warn you before you get into that habit that it may one day bite you! Flash drives fail and when they fail everything on them is GONE! So, I would caution you against using one as a permanent storage medium for anything important. They are great for moving files from one computer to another or for a temporary backup, but please do not use them as you suggested in your question! With the disclaimer out of the way, moving something to a flash drive is not difficult at all. The easiest way is to open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where the files are saved in during normal use. Then, simply right click on the file and choose “Send to” from the pop-up menu. You will see a list of various storage locations. Click on the one that represents your flash drive, and it will be copied to that location. The original will still be in the same place. If you have Windows 11, the process is the same, but when you right-click on the file, you will need to first choose “Show more options” at the bottom of the menu to see the full menu where you can choose “Send to”. At this point you have a copy of the file on your desktop
computer and your flash drive. If you then copy the file from your flash drive to your laptop, you now have three version of the same file floating around. Does not sound like a great idea, does it? That is because it is not and, unless you are very methodical and structured about keeping the most current version in all places, it often results in people getting very frustrated. So, what is the right way to do it? If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription as most do that use Excel, the answer is to simply utilize the OneDrive that is free as a part of that subscription! Log in to OneDrive from both computers and then start saving all your files to OneDrive. As you move between the computers, you will access the same file and you never have to deal with moving files around manually. As an added benefit, if both computers were to die one day, all your data is stored safely in the Microsoft cloud! You can access them by signing into OneDrive on another computer or you can get to them by signing into the Microsoft 365 portal via a webbrowser. You can even open files using the cloud versions of the Microsoft Office applications. OneDrive is the most underuti-
lized feature of the Microsoft 365 suite and I hope more folks start using it and benefitting from it. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I bought an external mouse for my laptop, and it works great, but the stupid touchpad still drives me crazy when I’m typing. Is there a way to completely disable it so that it stops moving stuff around? Thank you, Claire Dear Claire, This is the first thing I must figure out whenever I get a new laptop. The problem lies in how the manufacturer implements the touchpad and how the driver is designed. Many laptops have a function key that disables the touchpad with a single button push. Others leave you digging deep into advanced settings before you find an option to disable it. Why they do not all adhere to a uniform protocol, I will never understand. Officially, if the implementation of the touchpad followed the Microsoft standard way, it works even better than expected. The “normal” behavior that most people would prefer is that the touchpad is enabled until you connect a mouse. Once the mouse is connected, most folks would

Community
like the touchpad to be disabled. To do this, press the Windows key on your keyboard and start typing “touchpad.” Click on the resulting “Touchpad settings” to go straight to those settings. IF the manufacturer adhered to the Microsoft standards, at the very top of the page, you should have a toggle to turn the touchpad on or off as well as a checkbox that reads “Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected.” This option is checked off by default so you will need to click on it to uncheck it if you want your touchpad to be disabled when an external mouse is connected. Again, this will only be there if the touchpad implementation was per the Microsoft way. Otherwise, on the right side of the setting window you may have a link to “Advanced touchpad settings” or something similar. I know with Lenovo Think-
Pads they have their own app to manage the “TouchPad” and “TrackPoint” behaviors. I have seen Dell’s with similar configuration utilities. Some laptops are just easier to work with than others! First, check to see if you have a function key that enables and disables the touchpad as that is the easiest. Then, see if there is a setting to disable the touchpad when there is a mouse connected. If neither of those options work, look for a dedicated app for the touchpad. Lastly, try Googling your exact laptop model and see if anyone else has figured it out. Good luck!

Pratt & Whitney Awarded $50M to Develop Sustainable Propulsion Technologies NATIONWIDE Pratt & Whitney and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are investing $50 million to develop an ultra-quiet engine fan and advanced combustion technology designed to reduce noise, emissions, and fuel consumption as part of the third phase of the FAA’s Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise (CLEEN III) initiative. Pratt & Whitney has been an FAA partner since the program’s inception in 2010. Pratt & Whitney will match the FAA’s $25 million funding for the development of technologies that will continue to make jet engines more fuel efficient, leading to lower emissions, and helping make air travel more sustainable.
Pratt & Whitney ushered in a new era of commercial propulsion with the introduction of the Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine for single-aisle aircraft in 2016. Since its introduction in 2016, the GTF family of engines has helped 54 operators save more than 500 million gallons of jet fuel and avoid 4.9 million metric tonnes of CO2 over 9.3 million flight hours. “We are honored to continue to partner with the FAA to explore advanced engine technologies and deliver additional significant fuel savings and environmental benefits. This third award is a result of our proven track record over the last 11 years, working on FAA CLEEN I and II strategies and deliverables,”
said Frank Preli, vice president of propulsion and materials technologies at Pratt & Whitney. Previous CLEEN awards in 2010 and 2015 supported the development of an ultra-low fan pressure ratio engine coupled with a short inlet, as well as compressor and turbine technologies that build upon the company’s revolutionary geared engine architecture. Pratt & Whitney will use these advancements as a base to drive even higher efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions in its GTF engines. Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft and helicopter engines, and auxiliary power units. To learn more, visit www.prattwhitney.com.

Health & Fitness WAA Radio Roundtable Discussions on Veteran Healing
STATEWIDE Wreaths Across America Radio (WAAR) is proud to announce the first in a series of five roundtable discussions for 2022 focused on veteran healing through shared stories of resilience, purpose, and success. This first discussion will air on Thursday, March 24 at 7 p.m. and can be heard exclusively at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio or the iHeart Radio app. The March RoundTable will focus on military caregivers with a special emphasis on Vietnam-era veterans as we approach National Vietnam War Veterans Day on March
29. Guest panelists will be interviewed by WAA’s Executive Director Karen Worcester and Director of Military & Veteran Outreach, former United States Army Captain Joe Regan. “As we approach Vietnam War Veterans Day it is important for us to understand that nearly half of our veterans are over the age of 65. These men and women are more likely to be managing two or more chronic conditions when compared to their non-veteran peers and they account for over half of veteran suicide deaths,” said Reagan. “Their care often is the responsibility of their loved ones – spouses and children.
Outdoors Again Celebrates 10 Years WELLS Outdoors Again, a non-profit that plans outdoors activities for wheelchair users, is excited to announce their 10 Year Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, March 26. The event, which will be held 1-5 p.m. at Village By The Sea, 1373 Post Road (Route 1), Wells, will be a great opportunity to connect with others, and includes food, drinks, live music, a photo booth, carica-

All of us share a responsibility to fulfill President Lincoln’s promise to ‘care for those who borne the battle’ and because of that Wreaths Across America is proud to bring together a team of people enabling those caregivers to help create a better understanding of the veteran’s,
and caregiver’s experience.” Guest panelists include: Melissa Comeau, Director of the American Red Cross Military and Veteran Caregiver Network, who is a Marine Corps spouse and a writer known for her book “Sleeping with the War”; and Molly Brooks, CEO
Meditation & Mindfulness for Physicians & Caregivers NATIONWIDE While physicians and other medical professionals are great at taking care of us when we need it, they shouldn’t forget about their own health. Especially when it comes to their mental and emotional health during these unprecedented times. How would meditation and mindfulness come into play in helping our healthcare heroes? Dr. Gail Gazelle MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Master Certified Coach for physicians provides a few of the many benefits of meditation and mindfulness that can help physicians. “The life of a physician is chock full of stress and, sadly, we learn next to nothing in our training about how to manage it. In addition to all the busyness of our days, we tend to have particularly busy minds, full of worries and concerns. Mindfulness provides the exact tools we need to manage all the stress, quieting the busy physician mind, and
bringing calm to even the busiest and most challenging day,” says Dr. Gazelle. Meditation Builds Calmness The life of a physician is full of stress. To survive their careers, physicians need tools to build moments of calm into their day. Mindfulness teaches us how to do this in an effective and meaningful way that helps cultivate not just calmness and quiet in the mind, but gratitude and joy as well. Meditation Builds Focus We learn next to nothing in medical training about how to focus. A physician’s day is typically full of distractions: abnormal lab results, patients calling with urgent problems, callbacks from a specialist. Even brief periods of meditation build the physician’s ability to hold their attention exactly where they want and need it to be. Meditation Builds Positivity The public may find it surprising just how much doctors criticize themselves. Comparing

themselves to other doctors and looking at how they are coming up short, believing they are an imposter, and focusing on what’s going wrong and not what they’ve done well. With mindfulness and meditation practices, physicians build their ability to focus on all the good they do, each and every day, and learn to let go of that inner self-critic. Mindfulness Builds Resilience Doctors get worn down by all the sickness they see, all the responsibility they bear, and the very long hours they have to work. This is even more true now, during the pandemic. Mindfulness helps physicians build resilience to all the demands and difficulties of their careers, making them more agile, capable, and even more compassionate to their colleagues and patients. Mindfulness Builds Mastery Over Their Mind Physicians are experts in identifying and treating all kinds of diseases. But their minds are a busy place, full of worries, fears, anxieties, and more. With mindfulness, physicians learn how to work with their mind, developing the same mastery an expert surgeon has every time she or he operates on a complex case. Dr. Gazelle has been featured on CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, NPR, AMA, AP, Univision, ACP, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Oprah Magazine, and more.

Health & Fitness Repairing Seasonal Hair Damage NATIONWIDE Summer is a great time to get outdoors, but summer sun can be hard on hair. Days spent diving through the waves at the beach, submerged in the backyard swimming pool or lying out in the hot sun can be particularly damaging to tresses. As summer draws to a close, men and women find that their hair needs a boost to repair the damage that has accumulated over the last few months. It is important to note that hair that is split or broken has experienced permanent damage and cannot be repaired entirely. There are products that can help smooth hair or make it appear thicker, but such products will not repair the hair shaft. The only option in such instances is to cut hair shorter (if possible) and wait for new, healthy hair to grow in, according to the experts at Good Housekeeping’s Beauty Lab. A proactive approach to preventing hair damage all year long is a great way to avoid summer sun from wreaking havoc on hair. Here are some steps to take. Speak with a Stylist Make an appointment with your stylist to discuss your hair quality and what can be done. He or she likely knows of products or techniques that can mitigate any existing damage and what may prevent future issues. Seek out expert advice if damage may have been the result of do-it-yourself chemical treatments.

tioners can coat hair when wet and make it easier to untangle, leading to less damage. Again, speak with your stylist to gauge how frequently to use conditioners and other treatments. Use Sunscreen for Hair Invest in products that help block UV damage on hair much in the way you use sunscreen to protect your skin. Remove Green Hues Metals present in swimming pool chemicals can leach into porous hair shafts and lead to a green tint that becomes more noticeable over time. The experts at Livestrong.com say to use a special swimmer’s shampoo that contains chelating ingredients that break down and remove metals from your hair. Repairing hair and preventing future damage can take some effort, but it’s worth it for beautiful tresses.
Opt for Leave-in Conditioner Leave-in conditioners can replenish emollients stripped from the hair shaft, helping to repair damage caused by the sun, chemicals or heat damage. Bimur Aral, Ph.D., a beauty and hair expert, says condi-

Habitat York County Receives Generous Grant YORK COUNTY Habitat for Humanity is honored to announce a $10,000 grant from the Webhannet Charitable Foundation. This generous gift was given to Habitat York County to help build the first of two new homes in Cape Porpoise in 2022. The Charitable Foundation’s mission is to provide financial assistance to qualified nonprofit organizations focused on meeting the needs of people in Southern Maine Communities. The Foundation has been raising money and supporting local families and organizations by donating almost $300,000, since 2010. One of their Board Members, Luan ne MacDonald, brought the Cape Porpoise Habitat for Humanity build for Derek Harmon and his family to our attention as he used to work for her at Hurricane Restaurant. Luanne said, “I personally have a special interest in this project as I used to own Hurricane Restaurant, having sold the business three years ago. Derek came to work for me in 2006. He was a
great worker, a wonderful man, and a positive role model for Hurricane and for this community, and I am delighted, to make this recommendation to help Derek and his family.” Habitat has already begun construction of the first home The exterior walls and roof are up, and Habitat is looking forward to welcoming volunteers to the site in the coming weeks. When the home is complete, it will be sold to the Harmon family through an affordable mortgage. Their mortgage proceeds will be used to support the construction of future Habitat homes. There are many opportunities to volunteer at Habitat by joining the ReStore team, help with special events, assist with
weatherization projects, or help with the build. For more information, call 207-985-4850 or email prorgam coordinator at program@habitatyorkcounty. org. HFH YC par tners with local, low-income families in York County who show a demonstrated need for safe, affordable housing, a willingness to partner by completing “sweat equity” in the building of their own homes or the homes of other Habitat families, and the ability to repay an affordable mortgage. Homes are constructed using volunteer labor, donated materials, and funds, and when completed the homeowners’ mortgage payments are recycled to support the construction of future Habitat for Humanity homes.
$25K Donation for Hybrid Treatment & Wellness Room YORK Kennebunk Savings is continuing their work as advocates for and supporters of substance use disorder prevention and recovery programs with a new, $25,000 donation to York Hospital. The funds are being used to create a Hybrid Treatment & Wellness room at the Recovery Center housed within the hospital. The largest conference room space on the hospital campus is being renovated with new technology and hardware to facilitate meetings that will engage both in-person and virtual participants. This hybrid treatment model will provide the safest and most effective way to move forward with intensive outpatient treatment at York Hospital. “In the years we have spent working within the recovery community, we’ve learned to emphasize ‘peer’ recovery, because so much of the success of these programs depends on the trust that is borne out of shared experiences,” said Bradford C. Paige, President and CEO of Kennebunk Savings. “Two years into a pandemic, and our part-

ners in the recovery community have had to pivot multiple times to create safe, shared spaces for individuals seeking that sense of community and support.” “It’s not just the constraints imposed by the pandemic preventing access to recovery,” added Liz Torrance, Social Responsibility Manager at Kennebunk Savings. “Access to childcare, transportation, and work schedules can be a barrier to adequate care. The new facility at York Hospital will allow patients who need to be virtual to engage remotely with in-person patients as one cohesive group, together in treatment.”
“Our experience over the past 18 months with virtual treatment has taught us that this medium is an equally effective delivery model; however, our patients do experience screen fatigue,” said Eric Haram, York Hospital Recovery Center Director. “We believe offering this hybrid experience will allow for a more dynamic set of options for appropriate in-person participants, improving overall engagement and retention in care.” The York Hospital Recovery Center is the premier seacoast area program, offering outpatient treatment for patients with any substance misuse issues

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.

Profiles
Arenberg Serves as on US Navy’s Submarine Force SOUTH BERWICK Petty Officer 3rd Class Benjamin Arenberg joined the Navy three years ago. Today, Arenberg serves as a fire control technician. “I joined the Navy because I was looking for educational opportunities,” said Arenberg. Growi ng up i n Sout h Berwick, Arenberg attended Marshwood High School and graduated in 2017. Today, Arenberg relies upon skills and values similar to those found in South Berwick to succeed in the military. “South Berwick has a fantastic small community, which I believe carried over to the brotherhood onboard the submarine,” said Arenberg. Known as America’s “Apex Predators!” the Navy’s submarine force operates a large fleet of technically-advanced vessels. These submarines are capable of conducting rapid defensive and offensive operations around the world, in furtherance of US national security. There are three basic types of submarines: fast-attack submarines (SSN), ballistic-missile submarines (SSBN) and guidedmissile submarines (SSGN). Fast-attack submarines are designed to hunt down and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships; strike targets ashore with cruise missiles; carry and deliver Navy SEALs; conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions; and engage in mine warfare. The Virginiaclass SSN is the most advanced submarine in the world today. It combines stealth and payload capability to meet Combatant Commanders’ demands in this era of strategic competition. The Navy’s ballistic-missile submarines, often referred to as “boomers,” serve as a strategic deterrent by providing an undetectable platform for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. SSBNs are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles. The Columbia-class SSBN will be the largest, most capable and most advanced submarine produced by the U.S., replacing the current Ohio-class ballisticmissile submarines to ensure continuous sea-based strategic deterrence into the 2080s. Guided-missile submarines provide the Navy with unprecedented strike and special operation mission capabilities from a stealthy, clandestine platform. Each SSGN is capable of car-
rying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, plus a complement of heavyweight torpedoes to be fired through four torpedo tubes. Strategic deterrence is the Nation’s ultimate insurance program, according to Navy officials. As a member of the submarine force, Arenberg is part of a rich 122-year history of the US Navy’s most versatile weapons platform, capable of taking the fight to the enemy in the defense of America and its allies. Serving in the Navy means Arenberg is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming
business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. “The Navy provides a show of force,” said Arenberg. “Power on a world scale requires the ability to be anywhere at once. This is an important part of our national security.” With more than 90 percent of all trade traveling by sea, and 95 percent of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through underwater fiber optic, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy. Arenberg and the sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service. “I’m proud of earning my submarine warfare qualification in 2020,” said Arenberg. As Arenberg and other sailors continue to train and perform missions, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy. “Serving in the Navy means giving back to and serving the country,” added Arenberg.
Footprints Food Pantry: Still Remarkable After 30 Years KITTERY On a quiet little corner in Kittery on Old Post Road, you will find a small nondescript beige building bristling with energy every Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Volunteers will be setting up tables and setting out wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and pastries and all types of items to keep one’s cupboards stocked. Welcome to Footprints Food Pantry. It all began in the Fall of 1991, with a group of parishioners from St. Raphael’s Church in Kittery. Over coffee, the group found themselves in a conversation on how family, friends and neighbors were being affected by the recession. This small group of parishioners determined to help their communities by opening a food pantry. On February 19, 1992 with $1000 from Catholic Charities, a donated telephone, office supplies, a couple of home refrigerators and freezers and a truckload of food from the Biddeford Food Pantry, Footprints opened their door and began providing free
food to families in need from Kittery, Kittery Point, Eliot and at this time, South Berwick. The mission was to provide temporary help during the recession. The assumption was that once the recession ended, Footprints would no longer be needed. But as things have worked out, the need for food assistance has persisted for now thirty years and counting. Footprints today has over 60 volunteers who come in every week to help set up, glean produce, organize, pack, and deliver food to over 100 residents of Kittery, Kittery Point and Eliot. Their dedication and the dedication of volunteers over the years has been incredible in carrying out a mission of feeding as many folks as need help. The volunteers at Footprints provide a warm and welcoming environment, recognizing that we all may need help at some time in our lives. Distributing food has been the primary mission. What we have seen with weekly interactions between clients and volunteers is an environment of

$1K to CK Burns School Coast Program SANFORD Each month Partners Bank chooses an employee to have the honor of selecting a nonprofit to receive $1,000 in their Employee Donation Program. The employee is randomly selected for this honor. CK Burns School Coast Program is Souliere’s choice for this month’s donation. Jim’s wife works at the school in Saco and this program is near and dear to her heart. The Coast Program is designed to meet the needs of most of the school’s developmentally disabled students. Students learn functional communication skills and academics, social skills, and skills of daily living. As part of trust being built, which helps us to understand and help meet needs beyond food. Recommendations and directing to social services specific to helping with those emergency repairs, lack of heating, lack of housing, lack of transportation. This out-reach has brought out a wonderful sense of commitment from our local social services, which helps us all in meeting the needs of our residents. The incredible support for the past 30 years from our residents, our schools, churches, local businesses, corporations, and Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn have allowed us to offer wonderful fresh and healthy foods to our clients. Local produce from our farmers and home gardeners keeps us supplied with the best in local vegetables and fresh eggs. Footprints is truly a remarkable place on this quiet little corner in Kittery.
the program, students participate in community activities along with daily opportunities for general education and reverse general education experiences. Throughout the program, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech/language therapy services are taught and reinforced. “All of us at the school are very grateful for the donation to the Coast Program,” said April Noble, Principal of CK Burns School. “Our hope is that this program will empower us to help these children reach their full potential as competent, independent adults.” “It is always a pleasure to have our employees choose a favorite nonprofit for this donation,” said Blaine Boudreau, President and CEO of Partners Bank. “The Coast Program is a wonderful group and we thank Jim Souliere for his recommendation.” To learn more about the CK Burns School Coast Program, visit www.sacoschools.org.

Don’t Fall for a Sports Betting Scam
NATIONWIDE Thanks to new legal changes, the popularity of sports betting has exploded. If you think scammers haven’t noticed, think again. BBB Scam Tracker is seeing reports from people who accidentally placed bets with scam sports betting websites or apps. How The Scam Works You want to place a bet on an upcoming game, so you search online for a sports betting service. You find a website or app that looks trustworthy. It may even offer an enticing introductory bonus, so you can make an initial bet “risk free.” You place a bet, and, at first, everything seems normal. But as soon as you try to cash out your winnings, you find you can’t withdraw a cent. Scammers will make up various excuses. For example, they may claim technical issues or insist on additional identity verification. In other cases, they may require you to deposit even more money before you can withdraw your winnings! Whatever you do, you’ll never be able to get your money off the site. And any personal information you shared is now in the hands of scam artists. One victim reported to BBB Scam Tracker: “I deposit-
ed money to put a wager for a sports game. I won the bet [and] attempted three times to cash out and three times it was declined. Spoke to their representative, and they needed a picture of my driver’s license, a photo of myself holding my ID, and a blank check from my bank. With all the run around I’ve been given, it prompted me to read their reviews. All horrible reviews of a scam. Called my credit card company to file a fraud report.” How To Avoid Sports Betting Scams Look for an establish, approved service. Look for “white-listed” sports books that have been approved by your area’s gaming commission. In the United States, ESPN has a list of where sports betting is legal; Don’t fall for tempting ads. Ignore gambling-related pop-up ads, email spam, or text messages; Read the fine print on incentives. Gambling sites and apps often offer incentives or bonuses to new users and around major games. But like any sales pitch, these can be deceptive. Be sure to read the fine print carefully; Even legitimate sports betting sites have the right to freeze your winnings. Gambling companies can restrict user’s activity for “seeming to have an ‘unfair
York Boys’ Hockey Seniors Say Goodbye and the Junior Wildcat Game, all to help raise money for the cost of ice time for the team. These boys will always be bonded through their love of hockey, their high school, and their countless hours of community service.
YORK As the season ends for the seven seniors on the York Boys’ Hockey team, they reflect on the good times, the sad times, and the cherished moments they have had both on and off the ice. Team dinners together, picking up the player who can’t yet drive, meeting to play pond hockey, or even hitting the weight room together. Most of these boys have been playing since they were about five years old. They have played on many teams and had countless hours on the ice; but nothing says brotherhood like your hometown hockey team. Playing hockey is a great way to build sportsmanship and strength. But high school hockey taught them more than just how to play. It promoted generosity and civil engagement among
players, families, and members. These boys are not afraid of taking on anything, including fundraising at a level that most hockey teams have never experienced. They participated in the Military Appreciation Game, Pink in the Rink, Toys for Tots,

Your report can help other consumers avoid falling prey to scammers’ tricks.
