Hudson Runs Boston Marathon to Support Diabetes Center ELIOT For Kyle Hudson (pictured), one of the greatest roles he has taken on is being an uncle to his ten-year-old nephew, Grant. When Grant was just two years old, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The diagnosis came as a shock, since there was no prior history of diabetes in the family. Looking for what was best for Grant, his parents – Kyle’s brother Mark and his wife Sarah – brought him to Joslin Diabetes Center, a world-renowned

diabetes treatment and research center in Boston, MA. Grant and his family have relied on Joslin since day one to help him live his best life. With the support of Joslin, Grant is able to play sports and do everything that kids without type 1 can do. Prior to Grant’s diagnosis, Hudson had never heard of Joslin and didn’t know the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Grant’s parents gushed to Hudson about the care they’ve received from Joslin and their

positive experiences. It helped Hudson learn so much about type 1 and is what prompted him to run the Boston Marathon as part of Team Joslin. This will be Hudson’s third time running a marathon, but the first time he is running Boston. Though he grew up in New Hampshire and now resides in Eliot, he is familiar with the marathon route, since he attended Boston College. He had tried to run Boston in the past but did not qualify, so he shelved

the idea for a while. He didn’t reconsider until his brother Mark approached him toward the end of 2021 and asked if he wanted to run the marathon with Team Joslin. Hudson was hesitant, since it would be a quick turnaround for training; but he wanted to support Grant in any way he could. Hudson has enjoyed the fundraising aspect of running the marathon, and raising money See MARATHON page 9 . . .

Congresswoman Pingree Fact-Finding in Europe

STATEWIDE On March 21, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) and a bipartisan group of five US representatives wrapped up the first leg of their week-long fact-finding mission in Eastern Europe amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The group spent two days in Poland meeting with US and NATO forces on the ground. While in Poland, members visited the US Embassy in Warsaw; met with US troops, including 82ndAirborne service members from Maine; received multiple briefings on NATO efforts to support Ukraine; and visited a border entry point at the Przemysl train station. The group will visit additional European countries through Thursday.

“I was so moved by President Zelensky’s heart-wrenching address to Congress last week, and he’s absolutely right: we can, and we must, do more to support Ukraine in their fight,” said Congresswoman Pingree. “We’re here so we can come back home with answers for our constituents by getting firsthand information from people on the ground. We will be able to better explain how our efforts to support Ukraine and our NATO allies are being

implemented; and most importantly, we are learning what more can be done.” During a site visit to the World Central Kitchen meal preparation site in Przemysl, Ping ree met up wit h Yarmouth-based chef Christian Hayes. Hayes and the team of chefs who have volunteered in the relief kitchen, located just a few miles from the Ukraine border, cook 100,000 meals a day for the thousands of Ukrainians crossing the border. “It’s people like Christian who make me proud to be a Mainer. He dropped everything to come help the people of Ukraine during this ongoing tragedy,” the Congresswoman See PINGREE page 7 . . .

~ News ~ York County Spelling Bee Champ Advances to State WELLS Siri Brown (pictured), a fifth-grade student at Wells Junior High School (WJHS), received first place in the 2022 York County Spelling Bee held at Massabesic Middle School in February. Brown will now use her spelling talent to represent York County in the Maine State Spelling Bee, scheduled for March 25 in Portland. Another WJHS fifth-grade student, Kian Donovan, received third place in the county contest.

An article in a WJHS March newsletter commented, “Both Siri and Kian represented Wells extremely well and proved to be a great example of winning even when labeled an underdog.” On January 19, Brown became runner-up after Donovan in the annual WJHS Spelling Bee, held in a modified version with only the participants and judges present in the school’s library.

This unprovoked Russian war has displaced millions of Ukrainians – primarily women, children, the elderly, and other vulnerable people who want nothing more than to peacefully return to their homes and normal lives. This immense suffering is unimaginable – and wholly unnecessary. That is why a broad international coalition has stepped up to provide humanitarian aid, and NATO and other US allies remain unified as we deliver vital military support to the Ukrainian people. These large-scale efforts are helping mitigate the pain of the Ukrainian people and creating severe

A first-hand look at the situation makes it clear that our efforts are making a real impact – but also underscores that we must prioritize delivering on the aid and weaponry they need to stand strong against Russia’s aggression.” At the beginning of the trip, the bipartisan delegation engaged with military leaders from United States Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) in Wiesbaden, Germany, about the United States’s and NATO alliance’s commitment to freedom over tyranny. From there, the delegation travelled to Berlin to meet with US ambassador Amy Gutmann and other officials at the US Embassy to get an up-to-date brief on American-German longterm economic and security.

OGUNQUIT On Saturday, March 19, the Maine Spring 2022 World Cube Association (WCA) Rubik’s Cube Speed-solving competition was held at the Dunaway Center, organized by high-school sophomore and Ogunquit native Joey Mait. Mait, who is highly ranked in Maine and 50th nationally in the 3x3x3 Multi-blind category, started solving Rubik’s cubes when he was eight years old and began entering competitions at the age of nine. “Now, as a sophomore at Brooks School in North Andover, MA, I wanted to host a competition in my hometown of Ogunquit,” he says. Accordi ng to Mait, a speed-cubing competition involves participants trying to solve a variety of puzzles as quickly as possible. At the Ogunquit competition, there were eight different events (numerals refer to cubeside sizes in inches): 2x2x2, 3x3x3,

4x4x4, 5x5x5, 3x3x3 One-handed, 3x3x3 Blindfolded, Square-1 (a shape-shifting puzzle), and Megaminx (a 12-sided puzzle). A total of 57 competitors aged 10 to 22 years old attended from around the US; others came from India, Canada, Finland, and Venezuela. “There were a lot of exciting solves,” Mait said. “Elliott Kobelansky from Canada solved a 3x3x3 Blindfolded in an average of 17.19 seconds – a time that is second best in the world! Zayn Khanani of the US, who is a world-record holder, solved a 2x2x2 cube in 1.03 seconds.” Mait said he was satisfied with how the event turned out. “After a couple years away from cubing events, everyone was happy to be together and compete. Younger competitors look up to older competitors, and everyone helps out with judging under the See CUBES page 10 . . .

~ News ~ Law Day Contests for Students STATEWIDE Maine students in grades 4-12 are invited to submit entries for this year’s Law Day contests sponsored by the Maine State Bar Association. This year’s theme is “Toward a More Perfect Union: The Constitution in Times of Change.” Students in grades 4-8 may participate in the art poster contest, and students in grades 9-12 may participate in the essay contest. This year’s theme considers the Constitution as a dynamic document, one that not only outlines a blueprint for government, but also delegates power, articulates rights, and offers mechanisms for change. It is neither perfect nor exhaustive, as our nation’s history makes clear. Contemporary leaders and everyday citizens today raise their voices as loud as ever to fulfill the promise of the Constitution. Defining and refining that document’s words might be

our oldest national tradition, and the method by which each of us works – together – toward a more perfect Union. Entries should ref lect the student’s interpretation of the 2022 Law Day theme by responding to the following prompt: “What role does the Constitution play in times of change?” Entry deadline is April 1 by 5 p.m. The art poster contest has cash prizes of $75 each for the first-place student and teacher, and $50 each for the second-place student and teacher in two grade categories: 4-5 and 6-8. The essay contest has a $100 first-place cash prize for both the student and teacher, and a $75 second-place cash prize for both the student and teacher. Winning essays and posters will be published online and in the “Maine Bar Journal.” For more information or to download the contest brochures, visit www.mainebar.org/page/ lawday.

“Maine Maple Sunday” Passes Senate Unanimously STATEWIDE The US Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating March 27 as “Maine Maple Sunday.” The resolution, which was authored and introduced by the two Maine Senators Susan Collins (R) and Angus King (I), recognizes the importance of maple syrup production to the state’s communities, economy, and culture. “Maine is proud to be one of the country’s largest maple syrup producers – and the home to the best tasting syrup in the world! For generations, Maine people have come together with friends and family each spring to tap trees, boil sap, and make this delicious product,” said Senators Collins and King. “Maine Maple Sunday celebrates this long tradition, highlights the excellence of the maple industry, and recognizes the contributions of the small-maple businesses across our state. We’re glad the Senate

unanimously understood the importance of this uniquely Maine day and has given it the national recognition it deserves.” “Maine Maple Producers have worked hard for the last 39 years to make Maine Maple Sunday the premier spring maple festival in the state by making it both fun and delicious,” said Scott Dunn, President of the Maine Maple Producers Association. “Our producers have tremendous pride in their maple syrup, and their Sunday events prove it.”

Maine is home to more than 550 maple syrup producers and 800 full- and part-time syrup jobs that result in an annual syrup output of 575,000 gallons with a value of $21.6 million. The state is the nation’s third-largest producer of maple syrup and accounts for 17 percent of all US-produced maple syrup. Every March, sugarhouses across Maine host Maple Sunday events, an annual celebration showcasing maple syrup operations throughout Maine that serves as a catalyst for sales.

Hudson says he can’t speak to type 1 diabetes as well as someone who lives with it. “I’m not in the trenches with it every day,” he said. He encourages everyone to talk to someone who has type 1 to make sure you understand it well. “It’s important to keep an open mind and be there to support those living with diabetes,” he said. “You truly never know when you or someone you love might be impacted by diabetes.” The Boston Marathon is being held on April 18 this year.

April Astronomy Club Meeting

KENNEBUNK The Astronomical Society of Northern New England (ASNNE) will hold its monthly meeting on Friday, April 1, 7:30 p.m. at The New School, 38 York Street, Kennebunk. The business meeting, also open to the public, commences at 7 p.m. The meeting agenda includes Bernie Reim’s “What’s Up for the Month” and the ever popular “Astro Shorts,” where attendees and members share questions, activities, news, and observations. The Astro Shorts meetings always lead to lively and informative discussions! ASNNE held its March meeting on March 4 in-person in Kennebunk and on Zoom.

Society president Dr. Ian Durham reviewed the five “most important” physics stories of the year via a Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) podcast series: 1) The currently-accepted model of physics predicts a characteristic of the muon, a sub-atomic particle, that differs from its experimentally-determined value. New, very careful, experimental results confirm the discrepancy. 2) Using The Event Horizon Telescope, a global network of synchronized radio observatories that work in unison to observe radio sources associated with black holes, magnetic field lines of the black hole at the center of

galaxy M87 were imaged. 3) Using an incredibly accurate atomic clock, the way time is warped by gravity, according to the theory of general relativity, across the distance of one millimeter, was measured. 4) Quantum entanglement between two macroscopic vibrating drumheads has been demonstrated by two independent research groups. 5) A series of papers proved that the quantum-mechanical world needs imaginary numbers for its proper description. The presentation lasted approximately one hour, and was very well-received. Interested parties may access the FQXi podcast at www.fqxi.org/community/ podcast. Dr. Durham is a professor and Chair of Physics at Saint Anselm College and a member of the FQXi. His current research centers on foundational problems in physics, particularly the intersection of quantum mechanics, relativity, and information theory, as well as formal models of consciousness. He and his family live in Kennebunk. In his spare time he enjoys fly fishing, hiking, and canoeing. ASNNE is a local association of amateur astronomers that meets on the first Friday of each month. All are welcome. For more information, email asnne. astronomy@gmail.com or visit visit www.asnne.org.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, I recently upgraded to Windows 11 on my desktop computer. I used to be able to right-click on the taskbar to get to Task Manager. What is the shortcut to get to that in Windows 11? Thanks, Claudia Dear Claudia, T he q u ic ke s t way to get to the Task Manager is Ctrl+Shift+Esc. This shortcut works in Windows 10, too! Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, How do I take a screenshot on my laptop? Thank you, Holly Dear Holly, To take a screenshot in Windows, you simply press the Print Screen key (often labeled “PrtScn” or “Print Scrn” or similar) on your keyboard to copy the image to memory. You would then paste that into whatever program you wanted to use, or simply into Microsoft Paint if you just want to save it as an image. If you would rather copy just the active window, hold down the Alt key as you press the Print Screen key. On a Mac computer, to take a screenshot of the whole screen, simply hit Command+Shift+3. A lter natively, you can hit Shift+Command+4 to turn your cursor into crosshairs and then select what you want to capture. If you are running Mojave or newer, though, the most flexible way to capture is by hitting Command+Shift+5, which will bring up a panel at the bottom of the screen with various capture options! Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I just bought a new desktop computer with Windows 11, and my favorite external mouse moves very slowly now. Is this something I can change, or am I stuck with it with Windows 11?

Thank you, Mary Dear Mary, It sounds like the mouse tracking was probably defaulted to work best with whatever mouse was included with your purchase. Luckily, this is very easy to change. Hit the Windows key and then start typing m-ou-s-e. Click on Mouse settings in the search results. Adjust the mouse pointer speed slider to something that works for you and voila! Good luck, Matt Dear Computer Pro, I need to buy a new laptop for my daughter this summer as she enters high school. Everyone seems to recommend a MacBook, but I’m a long-time Windows user, and even the cheapest MacBook Air is double the cost of a decent Windows laptop. In your opinion, which is better? Thanks, Larry Dear Larry, This question comes up all the time and, unfortunately, there’s no easy answer, and my opinion may not be the best for your daughter! As with any tool, it really comes down to what the user is going to be most comfortable with and can utilize the most. For some kids, a MacBook would be best, while others may prefer a Chromebook. Your best bet would be to talk to your daughter and ask her which she prefers, as she has undoubtedly spent some time on Mac, Win-

dows, and Chromebook computers and, most likely, has one that she prefers. As far as the price, I know the price of a MacBook initially appears to be significantly greater than other options, but I would argue that they are worth every penny. As a 30-year Windows user myself, I can’t argue with the build quality of the Apple computer products. Not only are they esthetically pleasing to the eye, but they really are also built that much more solid than most PCs. As an example, just this past week, a MacBook screen stopped working for one of my business clients. When discussing the options with the decision-maker, I told him a new MacBook Pro 16” with AppleCare was going to cost around $3,200. His initial response was about the high cost, but I had to remind him that this woman had been working on this laptop for 45 hours a week since 2014! I challenge anyone to show me a Windows user that has been using the same Windows laptop from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day for eight years! At that point, he realized that, in the end, they are no more expensive than the PCs. Lastly, the new Macs with the Apple silicon (any M1-series) are very, very fast! If you go this route, your daughter will be very happy with her new toy! Good luck, Matt

Dear Computer Pro, My old laptop had a function button that allowed me to extend or duplicate my screen when I connected a projector for a presentation. My new Dell laptop doesn’t have such a button. How do I do that new in Windows 11? Thanks, Paul Dear Paul, The screen you’re trying to get to is called the “Project” menu and can quickly be accessed by pressing Alt+P. This should bring up the screen that you are familiar with. Good luck, Matt Dear Computer Pro, My new laptop doesn’t have any regular USB ports. I have always used an external mouse whenever I’m at my desk. Are there any mice that come with a small dongle that will fit my new laptop? Thank you in advance, Sarah Dear Sarah, There are a couple of ways to skin this cat. The easiest would

be to just get a Bluetooth mouse. Any laptop manufactured in the past 20 years or so has a Bluetooth module that you could connect with. There are many options out there, but my preferred is the Logitech Signature M650 Large mouse (https://amzn. to/354XDYq). I like it because it will connect to either Bluetooth or with the included dongle. Its larger size feels great in your hand, unlike many of the smaller compact mice. If you happen to have a smaller hand, though, they offer the same mouse in a slightly smaller size. Alternatively, if you already have a mouse you love, just get a USB-C to USB-A adapter (https://amzn.to/37Rjpjn) and plug your existing dongle right in! Good luck!

Online Sessions about Utility Credit to Low- Nontraditional Careers for Girls Income Households STATEWIDE The Mills Administration and the Office of the Public Advocate (OPA) applauded the Public Utilities Commission’s (PUC) unanimous approval of a one-time utility bill credit of $90 for lowincome Maine households. The total $8 million proposal was developed by the Governor’s Energ y Off ice (GEO) and OPA in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services, Central Maine Power, Versant, and MaineHousing. With the recent approval, the credits are expected to be delivered to approximately 90,000 Maine households served by CMP and Versant starting in March. The $90 bill credit offsets three months of the average household’s monthly utility bill increase this year. This increase stems from the increased standard offer electricity price that took effect in January, which was driven by a significant spike in global fossil fuel prices, especially natural gas.

“I thank the PUC for its unanimous approval of this rate relief plan, which will deliver meaningful support to low-income Maine people who are disproportionately impacted by these costs,” said Governor Janet Mills. “While this is a welcome step forward, my administration will continue to evaluate ways that we can provide relief to more people across the state as they grapple with these increased costs driven by Maine’s overreliance on fossil fuels, especially natural gas.” “The rate relief approved unanimously by the PUC today represents a team effort by several state agencies to address rising energy costs on Maine people, without adding costs to ratepayers,” said Bill Harwood, the state’s public advocate. “I applaud the PUC for taking swift action in recognition of the critical importance of delivering financial support to Maine’s most vulnerable citizens.” “This initiative provides immediate relief for Maine people from increased electricity rates caused by escalating

Use of these funds ensures no additional costs to ratepayers to support the credit. To be eligible for the credit, a household’s income must be at or below 150 percent of federal poverty guidelines.

The 15-minute video sessions focus on high-wage, high-demand nontraditional careers in trade and technical fields. Automot ive, c r i m i n a l justice, carpentry, firefighting, forestry, software engineering, solar installation, and other trade careers are highlighted in the series, as well as an “Earn While Your Learn” session on internships, apprenticeships, and on-the-job training. “Maine companies are looking for skilled tradeswomen, and we want young women to have access to information that can lead them to well-paying and secure jobs in the future.

FINANCE & CAREER Free College Courses for Adult Ed Students STATEWIDE A new partnership between the Maine Community College System (MCCS) and the Maine Department of Education (DOE) will offer tuition-free college courses to Maine’s adult education students. Maine adult education programs have suppor ted adult students in their transition to college and career through the Maine College and Career Access program for almost twenty years. This

new opportunity expands upon that idea by allowing adult education students to take a college course with the full support of their adult education program mentors so they can develop the habits, skills, and confidence to succeed in college. “Maine’s adult education programs have assisted thousands of Maine adults in making a successful transition to college,” said Maine Education Commissioner Pender Makin. “This new partnership with the Maine community college

Salesforce Military Training for Vets NATIONWIDE During a lunch break – of 20 minutes – Willie Wright not only completed a training through Salesforce Military but also discovered a learning opportunity that could actively apply to his current work. “This program has been life-changing for me and I’m happy to help anyone that’s willing to take part in this journey,” Wright said. “Salesforce Military has changed a lot of veterans’ lives and if nothing else, helped them get into a career that might have otherwise been unavailable.” Wright started his journey with Salesforce Military in October 2019 and by March the following year, he was in a new role earning more than $100,000 annually. The Trailhead Military program provides active military, veterans, and respective spouses free training, exams, certifications, and career opportunities for high-paying tech jobs. “All you have to do is make the time commitment and even the time commitment is reasonable if you do of couple hours a week,” he said. “Within a few months, you can be certified and have a new job.” Salesforce Military and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) have partnered to help veterans learn more about the benefits and services they may be eligible for and to connect them to skill development, career advancement, and employment resources. Toge t he r, V H A a nd Salesforce Military collaborate to help veterans across multiple social determinants of health (SDOH) during their transition from the military. Since

June 2021, VHA has helped more than 1,000 veterans, service members and their spouses enroll in Salesforce Military. Through the partnership, VHA and Salesforce Military developed the VA Benefits for Veterans training module, which identifies VA resources for veterans across SDOH, such as economic stability, employment and health literacy. The module, which has been accessed by more than 2,000 people, provides an overview of VA benefits and how to access them. Since its launch in 2014, 40,000 service members, veterans, and spouses have joined Salesforce Military. The training and certification program helped place more than 1,200 members into high-paying tech jobs. The ecosystem also provides a network of individuals willing to help each other with work questions, job referrals, and more. Wright also said, “It’s almost akin to when you’re in the military, get out, you meet other veterans, and you automatically have something that you’re connected over. You can kind of build a bond over it and have instant friendships based upon just the love of this one software platform.” Through the Salesforce Talent Alliance, a program that connects employers to Salesforce candidates with certifications, Wright met and interviewed for his current company. Prior to using Salesforce Military, he

system takes it to the next level by giving students the chance to try a college course with the support they need. We are excited to see the impact it makes for our adult education students.” Adult education programs will work with adult students to select a course at the community college that is appropriate for their college and career goals, and then support the student as they complete the course. The goal is that they will continue their education once the course is completed.

“This is an opportunity for us to encourage and connect with adult students throughout Maine,” said MCCS President Dave Daigler. “The hope is that students can choose courses that align with their individual career goals and that we can help provide that motivation and support to continue on once they complete their adult education program.” Tuition and fees for the courses are being generously provided by the Maine Community College System while

the Maine Department of Education’s Office of Adult Education will provide textbooks and course materials for students. Adult students interested in this program will need to be enrolled in a Maine Adult Education program to take advantage of the opportunity. Adults (with or without a high school diploma) who would like help achieving their educational and career goals can contact their local adult education program for next steps.

$500K for Aquaculture Industry WASHINGTON, DC Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) has awarded a $500,000 grant to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) to establish a comprehensive aquaculture workforce training system to anticipated reaching his current salary range in 15-20 years. But Wright credits the trainings – and leveraging his leadership practices from the military – as the reasoning behind how he achieved a better career and higher salary sooner. “You’re taking a chance on yourself. And much like our military community, you have this large community there to help you, mentor you, and guide you along your career,” he said. “Salesforce is doing great things, trying to help veterans get into that next stage of their life. All you have to do is be willing to make that jump.” The partnership between VA and Salesforce Military is managed by the National Center for Healthcare Advancement and Partnerships (HAP). HAP supports partnerships and emerging health innovations for veterans, caregivers, and their families. Learn more about HAP at www.va.gov/healthpartnerships.

The Gulf of Maine Research Institute has developed a forward-thinking solution. This comprehensive, collaborative training program will train aquaculturists with in-demand knowledge and skills, helping students to secure good jobs and supporting the workforce needs of this important sector,” said Congresswoman Pingree. “As a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, I have long worked to secure funding for these NIFA grants, which have helped to launch many careers in the nation’s food and agriculture sector. This substantial NIFA award will help ensure Maine’s aquaculture industry reaches its full potential now and in the future.” The f unding will: help GMR I develop and pilot a Maine Department of Labor Aquaculture (ME DOL) Aquaculture Apprenticeship Program where participants will gain valuable experience, receive mentoring, get trained

and tested on defined occupational competencies, and learn to use cutting-edge technology at Maine’s most sophisticated commercial shellfish and sea vegetable farms; develop and administer a series of stackable, credentialed, aquaculture short courses at Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) that form the basis of an Aquaculture Certificate; update the Maine Aquaculture Occupational Standards for Shellfish and Sea Vegetables, Recirculating Aquaculture Systems, and Marine Finfish to ensure that aquaculture workforce training remains relevant to Maine’s rapidly evolving and growing industry; and coordinate program development and delivery between SMCC, Washington County Community College, the Mid-Coast School of Technology (K-9 Career Technical Education High School), and ME DOL apprenticeship to establish matriculation pathways and dual-credit programs that enable fast-tracked degree completion. The programming developed will have the potential to be expanded to other community colleges in Maine and throughout the Northeast.

The members met with German parliamentarians over dinner in Berlin. The next day, the delegation had an operational briefing with leaders from the 82nd Airborne Division stationed in Poland and learned more about their effort to assist and deter

Russia from aggression against NATO. The military leaders then led a discussion with the Senators and NGOs helping with the humanitarian needs in Ukraine and throughout Europe. The bipartisan delegation then visited a refugee processing center near the Ukrainian-Polish border where they saw firsthand how organizations are working with the Polish military and government to care for Ukrainians who have fled their homes. During the visit, they met with

volunteers from the World Central Kitchen who are helping feed the millions of refugees coming across the border. The final stop in Poland included discussions with State Department officials originally stationed at the US Embassy in Kyiv, as well as members of Ukrainian civil society. This included a group of passionate women who provided a clear message to the Senators: Ukraine needs more military and lethal aid to win this fight. On the last day, the dele-

gation visited a US Army base near Grafenwoehr, Germany, to review the readiness of US Army troops that have surged to support and assure our NATO allies. They received a firsthand briefing of the military mission, met with constituents from each of the states represented on the CODEL deployed to the area, and saw the might of the US Army in action on an armor training range.

1/3 cup of sugar, plus 6 tablespoons for the topping 1/3 cup of mascarpone or sour cream

1-2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream

Health & Fitness Be Informed Before Cosmetic Surgery

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the saying goes. But when it comes to cosmetic surgery for enhancing appearance, industry experts say social media postings of attractive people can skew a patient’s perspective and expectations. “Cosmetic surgery is a personal decision that can permanently change one’s appearance, so patients need to learn beforehand what type of enhancement will complement their natural look – and what might be overdoing it,” says Dr. Scott Miller (www.millercosmeticsurgery.com), a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon. “An ‘Instagram face’ is not authentic beauty,” Dr. Miller says. “Personalized balance and proportion are more important than stereotypical perfection standards. Patients should be asking what they should do, not what they could do. Not every wrinkle needs to be filled or flattened. Sometimes the take is not worth the give.”

Dr. Miller offers these tips as a guide to how much cosmetic surgery – if any – is right for you: Do it for the right reasons. Men and women of all ages choose cosmetic surgery for various reasons, and in most cases, it’s a want, not a need. “If they’re considering doing it to please someone else, that’s a red flag,” Dr. Miller says. “If they’re doing it to address something about their face or body that’s bothered them for a long time, or has hindered their personal or professional life, those are good reasons. If cosmetic surgery will make them more self-confident, great, but it’s not healthy to expect that other issues in their life will suddenly fall into place. They need to have reasonable expectations.” Less is sometimes more. “A cosmetic surgeon’s goal should be to optimize the patient’s natural beauty, a look that’s pleasing to the person and one that transcends trends,” Dr. Miller says. “Sometimes patients and surgeons push the envelope and the results look disproportionate

to the body. A good partnership between patient and surgeon respects the art of less is more. Surgery has its place, and it can produce fantastic results, but there are other tools and tricks as well.” Don’t make it an experiment. “If you want to experiment, do it with your hair, clothes, makeup and nails,” Dr. Miller says. “But do not do it with your face. Trends in facial surgery come and go, but unlike other aspects of fashion and beauty, you usually can’t go back and change a surgery.” Learn from what you see. Dr. Miller says it’s easy to spot some people who have had cosmetic surgery, and that’s not always a good look. “The best cosmetic surgery is cosmetic surgery you can’t see,” he says. “Some patients say they can tell on the street when someone has had filler or a facelift, and I tell them the only cosmetic surgery you can see is usually badly done surgery. It creates an artificial look that decreases the body image.”

Be on the same page with your surgeon. “Patients should feel heard, and they should choose a cosmetic surgeon whose philosophy of beauty they share,” Dr. Miller says. “True beauty is idiosyncratic and personal. When done right, the surgery respects one’s body while augmenting aspects of the body in a way that is complementary to their physique. There is no one perfect look. A cosmetic surgeon’s job is to help patients reveal their best self.” “Cosmetic surgery should not be an impulsive decision, but one that is very carefully thought out,” Dr. Miller says. “It can en-

hance one’s unique beauty, but it’s not about making them look like a celebrity.” Dr. Scott Miller is a board-certified cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon and the founder of Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center. He earned his medical degree from the University of California Irvine, School of Medicine and performed his plastic surgery residency at the University of California San Diego, School of Medicine.

Pandemic Diet Resulting in Hair Loss The home-isolation effects of the pandemic put extra pounds on Americans, giving rise to the term “The Quarantine 15.” Months of disruption to daily routines, poor eating habits, and less physical activity equate to more weight. Dieting is the next step for some people, but medical experts caution that if they’re not careful, certain fatand calorie-cutting measures can cause another kind of loss besides pounds – their hair. “With some fad diets, you are missing out on some important nutrients, and that factor can have an impact on hair loss,” says Dr. Patrick Angelos (www.drpatrickangelos.com), author of “The Science and Art of Hair Restoration: A Patient’s Guide”. “Your body requires adequate calories and protein to feed your hair follicles. Your hormones have a direct effect on your hair health. In order to balance your hormones it’s important to know what foods, nutrients and supplements you

need on a regular basis, and what you don’t need.” Dr. Angelos offers these nutritional tips to aid overall health and prevent hair loss: Avo id s u g a r. C r a s h diets or cleanses can lead to too much sugar in the bloodstream, which promotes inf lammation. “When people eat sugar or carbs, it causes a spike of insulin and androgens, which bind to hair follicles and cause the hair to fall out,” Dr. Angelos says. Get plenty of protein. “Protein is critical for keeping your hair healthy, but many people don’t get enough,” Dr. Angelos says. “Too little protein in your diet can damage healthy hair and inhibit your body’s ability to build new hair follicles. Lean meats like fish and chicken, eggs, and soy products are good sources of protein.” Seek fatty acids. Omega3s play a key role in the health of hair and skin. Dr. Angelos See SURGERY page 21 . . .

. . . SURGERY from page 20 suggests foods that are rich in these fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, walnuts and almonds. Beware of low iron. Low iron can be a cause of hair loss. “A balanced diet should include iron-rich foods such as spinach, pork and salmon, peas, and dried fruit,” Dr. Angelos says. “Foods high in vitamin C – oranges, strawberries, broccoli and tomatoes – allow your body to absorb iron in a more efficient manner.” Consider supplements. Dr. Angelos says a number of supplements can help maintain a balance necessary for good health and healthy hair. “Those include f ish oil, a multivitamin that includes vitamins A, B complex, C, D, and E, along with the minerals zinc, iodine, and iron,” he says. You may want to also take a supplemental B-complex vitamin, although most multivitamins have sufficient amounts of Bs. And, if not in the multivitamin, also supplement with biotin, a coenzyme that helps the function of Bcomplex vitamins.” “Our habits have been disrupted during the pandemic, so it’s an opportune time to create new and healthy ones,” Dr. Angelos says. “Dieting doesn’t mean depriving

Bernier-Gelinas 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.

FUNERAL HOME

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

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.

Left to right: Molly Cunningham YCYFS, Janice Teasenfitz MBH, Matthew Leach YCYFS.

YORK COUNTY In early February, the York County Commissioners recognized Maine Behavioral Health Springvale Clinical Director Janice Teasenfitz, LCSW, for her ongoing commitment and support to the York County Youth Fire Safety Program. For over five years, Janice has provided ongoing programmatic support and guidance to staff as they seek to address youth fire setting through a collaborative and community centered approach. Her commitment to the staff, program, and

families is invaluable ensuring that programmatic mission and vision align with community needs. York County Youth Fire Safety Program is a part of the Fire & EMS Assistance Office under the Emergency Management Agency. This program assists to protect communities from the dangers of child and youth fire setting in collaboration with local public and private agencies. For more information, go to www.yorkcountymaine.gov/ fire-5.

New Physical Therapy Clinic Opens in Eliot ELIOT “Don’t neglect your health, Reform it!” That’s the idea behind Eliot’s newest physical therapy clinic at Eliot Commons. Reform Physical Therapy of Eliot, managed by Rachelle “Shellie” Jenkins, PT, MSPT, is now open in Eliot Commons, right next door to Maine Pet Supply. The company, founded in 2008 by Bangor native Jill Partridge, is a privately and Maineowned general orthopedic outpatient physical therapy practice, with clinics also in Topsham, Freeport, Yarmouth, and Kennebunk. Licensed physical therapists use their one-on-one therapy sessions to treat the individual as a whole, not just the injury. A ribbon cutting ceremony, promoted by the York Regional Chamber of Commerce and Shipyard Brewing Company, was held on March 15 to kick off the grand opening and introduce the company to the Eliot community. Attendance included Reform staff, community members, Shipyard Brewing owner and founder Fred Forsley, and Eliot Town Manager Michael Sullivan. “I understand that life is

busy and pride myself on helping my patients streamline which components of care are the most important to target depending on the current situation, injury, or ailment,” said Jenkins. “I enjoy the one-on-one time I get to spend with each patient during every visit to Reform PT and take the time to truly hear and understand how each individual’s situation is unique and impacting their life. Then I work with each patient and any other involved providers to create a solution and develop a treatment plan to address the individual’s needs and goals.” Shellie and her husband and two children reside in southern Maine. Shellie graduated

from Northeastern University in Boston, MA, over 15 years ago, earning a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science and a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. Since then, she has worked in a variety of settings to provide quality care, but is most passionate about assisting people to return to their previous activities and quality of life in an outpatient setting. The Eliot Reform Physical Therapy clinic is located at 28 Levesque Drive, Suite 10, Eliot, right next to Solfege Center for Healing.
