Every Day is Earth Day to the York Community Begin spring cleaning by bringing worn textiles – towels, curtains, small rugs, bed linens – to the Planet Aid bin, adjacent to the First Parish office building on York Street. The bin will remain through the month of April. After that, donations may be dropped off at either of the two Planet Aid bins at the Witchtrot Transfer Station, 65 Witchtrot Road, York. Donations to the YCSA Thrift Shop, 855 Route 1, York, are also greatly accepted.

Continue spring cleaning by bringing gently used clothes and shoes to area thrift stores.

YORK Nearly five years ago, First Parish Church in York began living its mission “to intentionally respond to the needs of our community and the world” by establishing the Creation Care Committee. Together with York Ready for Climate Action, the York Public Librar y, York Parks and Rec, the York Land Trust and York ECOhomes, the shared goal between these organizations has been to continually raise awareness and create opportunities for individuals to join forces in addressing the challenges of climate change.

Climate change mitigation, food insecurity, climate resilience, soil health, biodiversity, ecological justice, and equality

are all woven together in the web of life. When one fails, everyone fails.

While much has been accomplished, much remains to be done. The Creation Care Committee has provided a checklist of opportunities to help the public become part of the change during Earth Month.

Join neighbors on Saturday, April 13 at 9:30 a.m. to help clean up Long Sands Beach. Volunteers are asked to bring their own eco-friendly bags and gloves, and to meet up in the vicinity of the bath house on Long Sands, just before 9:30 a.m.

We hope this event will inspire others to do their part to keep the Seacoast a sustainable place to live. Let’s work together to make a positive impact on the environment and our community.”

Naval Shipyard (PNSY), will host the 61st Thresher Memorial Service at Traip Academy in Kittery.

Commander, Submarine Squadron Two, Capt. Daniel Reiss will be the keynote speaker.

Representing the Thresher families, Tom and Mark Guerette, sons of Mr. Paul Alfred Guerette, a Marine Engineering Technician from PNSY who was lost on Thresher, will offer remarks.

Shipyard Commander, Capt. Michael Oberdorf will provide introductory remarks.

There will be a wreath laying ceremony along the water’s edge immediately following the service.

The USS Thresher (SSN593), a nuclear-powered attack submarine built at PNSY and commissioned in 1961, was lost approximately 100 miles east of Cape Cod while conducting sea trials. Onboard were 16 officers, 96 enlisted men, and 17 civilian technicians. Amid the public shock over the tragedy, the U.S.

Discounts as big as a house.

Or condo.

Or apartment.

Navy grappled for an answer as to what went wrong. Even today, rival theories seek to explain the mystery.

This Saturday, April 13, marks the 61st Anniversary of that tragic loss. The envent happens at Traip Academy, 12 Williams Ave, in Kittery. For more information, visit www. thresherbase.org.

The fully dressed Thresher hits the water during her launching ceremony at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on July 9, 1960. The state-of-the-art vessel was destined for a grim – and still not definitively explained – demise. Photo from U.S. Naval Institute photo archive.

In turn, Maine Meat will also eliminate the bottleneck that occurs between producers and consumers by offering Seacoast residents the convenience of a storefront with regular business hours. Jarrod Spangler is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and has worked in kitchens from Boston to San Francisco.

Eliot Maine Market. Owners Hannah and Jordan Makuck have taken this landmark business in Eliot Village and brought it back to life in a manner that is incredibly positive for the community. Through hard work and during an uncertain time for the restaurant industry, they purchased, renovated, and worked tirelessly to serve lunch and breakfast to the people of Eliot and beyond. Their confidence, investment in the Town of Eliot, and involvement are all very much appreciated.

South Berwick Aubrey’s Coffee House & Bakery. One of South Berwick’s newest businesses, Aubrey’s Coffee House & Bakery is a “treat and a delight.” Proprietor Aubrey Blanchette opened the doors of Aubrey’s in March 2020, at the age of 22. Located in Punkintown off Route 236, the coffee shop is a prime location for anyone. Nestled in the new business park, Aubrey’s environment is relaxing, yet buzzing with community: an environment she is proud to foster. Friends, families, and the working community all enjoy gathering there. Offering great bakery foods, coffee, and other beverages, as well as a salad bar for lunch makes Aubrey’s a haven for many.

Get Ready – Spring is Coming!

By Cheryl Farley, Contributing Writer “Spring is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...” wrote Frances Hodgson Burnett in the book, “The Secret Garden.”

Spring is so elusive here in New England. One minute it is in our grasp, and the next the last gasps of winter seem neverending. But one must have a bit of intrepidness this time of year and brave the chilly days and harsh winds in order to ready the garden beds for the glory to come.

It is time to put down the garden books, pull up the garden boots, put on those layers that can easily be shed if the day turns warm, and head outside to gently turn over soggy leaves into the soggy soil or move them and other debris to the compost heap. Set free the emerging daffodils, poppies, peonies and other bloomers from the layers of leaves, sticks and stones that found their way into the garden over the winter. Funny what happens when one is not paying attention! Trim any dead growth from last season right down to the ground in order to give new growth plenty of air and sunshine. It is so easy to accidentally rip out young plants and emerging mature ones in the wet spring

soil without realizing it. It is advisable to refrain from any urges to rake with vigor! It is also good to remember that many essential insects and pollinators may still be hibernating amongst those sticks, stalks and whatever else may seem like rubbish. Once the soil has been loosened, add some compost or manure to give the soil a boost.

While out there, take time to check out the roses, especially the climbing ones that may have blown down in one of the many storms we endured this year. Once they are resecured to their support structures, cut away any growth that is growing away from the structure and cannot be tied back. Continue to cut away any dead, dying, damaged or diseased stems. If the

hour. They savor flower nectar, but also enjoy small insects, tree sap, and the juice from broken fruits. Having keen eyesight, these precision-flying creatures are attracted to colorful flowers, especially those that are red, orange and pink in color. Some of the hummingbird’s favorite flowering perennials and shrubs include beardtongue (Penstemon), bee balm (Monarda), butterfly bush (Buddleia), cardinal flower (Lobelia), catmint (Nepeta), columbine (Aquilegia), coral bells (Heuchera), foxglove (Digitalis), hollyhock (Alcea), hummingbird mint (Agastache), lupine (Lupinus), and trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera). Some of their favorite flowering annuals include cleome, fuchsia, lantana, mandevilla, petunia, salvia, and

rose is very full and congested, prune weak growth out until the desired outcome is achieved. Not only will pruning create a lovely and shapely plant, it also encourages fresh new growth and lots of blooms for season.

The rosy red tips of the peonies are starting to peek out of the ground. Soon they will be abundant with their gorgeous fluffy flower heads. Make sure to have stakes and twine on hand, or wire cage supports to keep them upright during that first driving rainstorm. Once the stalks shoot up and leaves sprout, gently surround them with the supports – if placed carefully, they will be hidden by leaves and massive blossoms. Peonies in bloom are such a thrill, it is heartbreaking to see them smashed to the ground after a storm. Wire cages can be useful for other leggy plants and of course, for tomatoes. Be sure to save a cage for a cherry tomato plant to put by an entryway or along the garden path for a quick, delicious snack that tastes like sunshine.

Now is a good time to in-

ventory supplies to make sure fertilizer, pots, tools, twine, wire, garden gloves, pruners, scissors, etc. are all on hand and ready for the planting days ahead!

Perhaps a new garden bag is in order. Are last year’s boots worn through the soles? Why not purchase some cute new overalls, a garden apron or great straw hat to add some personal pizzazz!

Pull out all the garden tools and make sure they are in good working order. If not, repair or replace now while garden stores are full of inventory. Having supplies on hand and ready to go when that first lovely day calls to start digging and dividing will be a real plus.

While much of these are not the most enjoyable part of gardening, having them in the rearview mirror makes the next phases all the more pleasurable.

Once the weather turns for the better, time can be spent planting, tending and enjoying the garden. Oh! On the next rainy day, which is sure to come, cozy up to “The Secret Garden” (1993) for dose of hope and inspiration!

“Making Water Better!”

STATEWIDE Spring is a joyful season - temperat ures are get ting warmer, days are getting brighter, and flowers are beginning to bloom in the landscape. It is also the time when Maine’s smallest breeding birds, the ruby-throated hummingbird, arrive from their winter homes in Mexico and Central America. This charming little creature, weighing a bit more than a penny, will be in residence from early May until the end of September.

Designing a garden to attract hummingbirds is relatively easy. A steady supply of food, fresh water, nesting sites, and perches are the requisites.

Hummingbirds have an extremely rapid metabolic rate, eating five to eight times each

snapdragon. A generous garden offering of flowering plants, with staggered bloom times, will provide a steady food source from spring through fall for not only hummingbirds, but also other pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Hummingbirds meet their dietary fluid requirements primarily from the nectar they drink, but they also require fresh, clean water. Fine garden misters, sprinklers and fountains offer them opportunities to bathe, and to sit and fluff and preen their iridescent feathers.

Sheltered deciduous trees and shrubs are ideal locations for hummingbirds to build their tiny nests, which are about the size of a walnut. Hidden and camouflaged, nests are constructed from soft and fuzzy materials found in the landscape including moss, lichen, grass, cattail, dandelion, thistle, and bits of bark and leaves.

Hummingbirds use their feet mainly for perching and gripping onto branches. They cannot easily walk or hop, as they have relatively short legs compared to their overall body size. The hummingbird’s lightweight body carries most of its weight in the chest and wings, making it difficult for them to balance and support themselves on their legs. Hummingbirds are exceptional f lyers, capable of hovering in mid-air and flying in all directions. Their bodies are optimized for f light, with powerful chest muscles and rapidly beating wings. This flight specialization means they have less of a need for walking and, given their high metabolic rate and the need to constantly feed to sustain their energy levels, walking is not an efficient use of their resources.

It is important when designing a garden to include perching options for hummingbirds to rest. If the back yard landscape does not have nearby small trees and shrubs, position appropriate-sized perches, made from dead branches and twigs, in and around the garden as a substitute for a live perch.

For a few short months each year, ruby-throated hummingbirds visit Maine. These tiny, magical creatures faithfully search for gardens that offer them food, water, and shelter for the season. And once they find them, they will often return year after year.

Henry Raymond Desruisseaux, 64 LEBANON – Henry Raymond Desruisseaux of Lebanon, beloved husband, father, grandfather, sibling, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 7, 2024, surrounded by his family, closest friends, and cherished pets. He was 64 years old.

He was predeceased by his parents, Renaud “Speed” Desruisseaux and Henrietta (Brin) Desruisseaux.

Henry is survived by his devoted wife, Kelly Desruisseaux; siblings: Jeanne Houde and her husband Andy, Denise Paquet and her husband John, Elaine Voigt, Louie and his wife Karen, Carl and his partner Eileen; his children: Amy Sullivan and husband Bob, Heidi Flint, Christopher Desruisseaux and wife Skye, Shawna Drouin and husband Jay, Meaghan Decourt, Justin Decourt and wife Ashley, and Amber Decourt and partner Mike. He also leaves behind 17 grandchildren: Annalise, Levi, Bobby, Spencer, Gavin and his wife Lacey, Dominic, Guiliana, Siarra, Adam, Kaelynn, Bryce, Blake, Bentley, Austin, Vanessa, Jaelynn, Shyla; a great-grandchild, Avana, and several beloved pets, including Paisley, Denis, Boo-boo, Jack, Reba, Deaglan, ten chickens and three ducks.

Henry lived a life characterized by a remarkable balance of intention and spontaneity. He approached every aspect of life with passion and determination.

As the founder of HD Builders, Henry demonstrated his meticulous craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit. Later, he transitioned to a Foreman position for a commercial construction company and eventually found fulfillment working as a Millwright, often taking to the road with his wife, Kelly. His work ethic was unmatched, and he tackled every project with the highest level of skill and care.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Henry embraced life’s joys to the fullest. He found immense happiness cruising around on his Harley Davidson motorcycle with his beloved wife Kelly, sharing the open road and creating unforgettable memories. Music was another passion of Henry’s, and he could often be THANK YOU ST. JUDE: May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever.

found jamming out on his guitar with his buddy George or singing karaoke with his family. He was a dedicated sports fan, enthusiastically cheering on the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, and Red Sox, relishing in the excitement of each game. His love of sport extended to fishing, where he lived for the thrill of each catch, sharing many fishing trips with his long-time friend, Brad.

Henry’s greatest pride, however, came from his roles as a husband, father and pepère. He cherished every moment spent with his always growing family.

He was always there to celebrate the moments that mattered, he pushed his children to their full potential, and he brought warmth, adventure, and laughter to every gathering.

Henry will be remembered for his jovial spirit and genuine love for life. He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, resilience, and love that will continue to inspire all who knew him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 15 at the Alfred Parish Church in Alfred. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Compassionate Cares ALS in his memory. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, visit Henry’s Book of Memories Page at www. bibbersautumngreen.com. Arrangements are in care of Bibber Memorial at Autumn Green 47 Oak St., Alfred.

Henry Desruisseaux will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love and memories he cherished dearly.

Eleanor Brooks Leech, 88 WELLS – Eleanor Brooks Leech died peacefully following a brief illness on March 25, 2024, surrounded by loved ones who cherished her.

Eleanor was born September 19, 1935, in Biddeford, the daughter of George and Carrie Brooks and sister to Robie, Frank, Herb, and Emily. She grew up in Kennebunk, and lived most of her life in Wells.

Eleanor graduated from

Kennebunk High School in 1954. She married Richard Leech on June 27, 1953. They had a half-dozen “Congdon’s Kids” who, along with their spouses, enriched their lives and brought them so much joy: Bette (Leech) and Billy Beyea, Gary and Diane (Fortier) Leech, Craig and Jen (Arcand) Leech, Renee Brooks, Cheryl (Brooks) and Rob Warfield, and Greg and Teresa (Thompson) Brooks.

FINANCE & CAREER

Tax Relief, Extension for Storm Victims Bill to Increase TANF Benefits Steps Up

STATEWIDE The Internal Revenue Service recently announced tax relief for individuals and businesses in parts of Maine affected by severe storms and flooding that began on January 9 of this year. Some taxpayers may now have until July 15 to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make payments.

The IRS is offering relief to any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Currently, individuals and households that reside or have a business in Cumberland, Hancock, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Waldo, Washington and York counties qualify for tax relief.

The same relief will be available to any other counties added later to the disaster area. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the Tax relief in disaster situations page on IRS.gov.

The tax relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred from Jan. 9, 2024, through July 15, 2024 (postponement period).

As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until July 15 of this year to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period.

This means, for example, that the July 15 deadline will now apply to the following: Individual income tax returns and payments normally due on April 15; 2023 contributions to IRAs and health savings accounts for eligible taxpayers; Quar terly estimated income tax payments normally due on January 16, April 15 and June 17 of this year; Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on Jan. 31 and April 30 of this year; Calendar-year partnership and S corporation returns normally due on March 15, of this year; Calendar-year corporation and fiduciary returns and payments normally due on April 15, of this year; Calendar-year tax-exempt organization returns normally due on May 15, of this year.

In addition, penalties for failing to make payroll and excise tax deposits due on or

after January 9 and before January 24 will be abated as long as the deposits were made by January 24.

The Disaster assistance and emergency relief for individuals and businesses page has details on other returns, payments and tax-related actions qualifying for relief during the postponement period.

The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. These taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief.

It is possible an affected taxpayer may not have an IRS address of record located in the disaster area, for example, because they moved to the disaster area after filing their return. In these kinds of unique circumstances, the affected taxpayer could receive a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS for the postponement period. The taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

In addition, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who lives outside the disaster area but whose records necessary to meet a deadline occurring during the postponement period are located in the affected area. Taxpayers qualifying for relief who live outside the disaster area need to contact the IRS at 866-562-5227.

This also includes workers assisting the relief activities who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization. Disaster area tax preparers with clients located outside the disaster area can choose to use the Bulk Requests from Practitioners for Disaster Relief option, described on IRS. gov.

The IRS urges anyone who needs an additional taxfiling extension, beyond July 15, 2024, for their 2023 federal income tax return to request it electronically by April 15, 2024.

Though a disaster-area taxpayer qualifies to request an extension between April 15 and July 15, 2024, a request filed during this period can only be submitted on paper. Whether requested electronically or on paper, the taxpayer will then have until Oct. 15, 2024, to file, though payments are still due on July

15, 2024. Visit www.irs.gov/extensions for details.

Individuals and businesses in a federally declared disaster area who suffered uninsured or unreimbursed disaster-related losses can choose to claim them on either the return for the year the loss occurred (in this instance, the 2024 return normally filed next year), or the return for the prior year (2023).

Taxpayers have extra time – up to six months after the due date of the taxpayer’s federal income tax return for the disaster year (without regard to any extension of time to file) – to make the election. For individual taxpayers, this means Oct. 15, 2025. Be sure to write the FEMA declaration number – 4764-DR – on any return claiming a loss. See Publication 547, Casualties, Disasters, and Thefts, for details.

Qualified disaster relief payments are generally excluded from gross income. In general, this means that affected taxpayers can exclude from their gross income amounts received from a government agency for reasonable and necessary personal, family, living or funeral expenses, as well as for the repair or rehabilitation of their home, or for the repair or replacement of its contents. See Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, for details.

Additional relief may be available to affected taxpayers who participate in a retirement plan or individual retirement arrangement (IRA). For example, a taxpayer may be eligible to take a special disaster distribution that would not be subject to the additional 10% early distribution tax and allows the taxpayer to spread the income over three years. Taxpayers may also be eligible to make a hardship withdrawal. Each plan or IRA has specific rules and guidance for their participants to follow.

The IRS may provide additional disaster relief in the future.

The tax relief is part of a coordinated federal response to the damage caused by these storms and is based on local damage assessments by FEMA.

STATEWIDE The Maine Legislature recently gave initial approval to a measure sponsored by Rep. Michele Meyer, (D-Eliot), that would bolster the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program’s monthly benefit level to better support Maine families and communities across the state.

“The time has come to modernize our TANF program,” said Meyer. “Today’s cost-of-living has put significant strain on families living on low incomes, making it difficult for parents to afford even the most basic essentials that are necessary to support their children and themselves.

Increasing monthly cash assistance will not only assist parents and their children, but will also positively benefit the communi-

ties in which they live and our state’s overall economy. When Maine’s families thrive, we all thrive.”

LD 1877 would increase TANF assistance by 20%, providing an eligible family of three with $868 per month compared to the current monthly total of $723. The program is solely dedicated to helping families with children achieve economic stability through cash assistance and employment training. According to data provided by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Maine provides the lowest benefit level among neighboring states in the region.

The bill faces further votes in the House and Senate.

First National Bank Grants 5K to Finding Our Voices

Holding the check, from Finding Our Voices, Mary Kamradt, operations manager; Nicole Larrabee, board treasurer; Patrisha McLean, CEO and founder; and from First National Bank, Chad Place VP, Commercial Lender, Michelle Curtis VP, Community Engagement and Business Development Officer, Amanda Fisher Assistant Branch Manager, and Ashley Simmons Banking Consultant. Photo by Niki Janczura, Business Development Officer for First National Wealth Management.

Statewide First National Bank recently donated $5,000 to Finding Our Voices to help the grassroots nonprofit move forward two events that focus on breaking the silence of domestic abuse across Maine.

The grant reflects the lead sponsorship of the group’s second annual “Into the Light!” Fiesta in July in Midcoast Maine, as well as the May 9 Eastport stop of their 2024 “Let’s Talk About It” tour.

“Into the Light!” involves 50 Midcoast eateries and other businesses designating yellow items in July with proceeds benefitting Maine’s domestic abuse survivors. The “Let’s Talk About It!” tour is Maine survivors of domestic abuse traveling from town to town to publicly share their stories, then lead a community conversation.

Eastport’s event at the Welcome Center is the second of 10 talking and listening stops this year that include the Bangor and Southern Maine community colleges and Biddeford High School.

“We couldn’t be more grateful to our friends at First National Bank,” said Patrisha McLean, founder CEO and Finding Our Voices, “for solar-powering two of our biggest events getting people talking about domestic abuse, and providing safety and comfort to the far too many women and child victims in our midst.”

McLean adds, “T his community-minded bank has been a leading light for Finding Our Voices from when we became a nonprofit four years ago, including sponsoring our bookmarks, which are scaleddown versions of our iconic posters featuring the photo portraits of 45 Maine survivors, sponsoring our posters in Boothbay Harbor, and bringing us to Eastport in 2020.”

Fi nd i n g O u r Voice s marshals survivor voices to mitigate the financial control, isolation, and stigma that keep Maine women and children trapped in domestic abuse. For more information, visit www. findingourvoices.net.

~ News ~ . . . LEECH from page 11 great-great grandchildren, with more on the way. She cherished each opportunity to “bye lo” the babies on her lap. Eleanor ran the front of the house at Congdon’s for many years before they sold the bakery to Gary and Diane in 1984. She worked as hostess for several years, warmly greeting guests who came to dine in the restaurant.

Eleanor loved being a part of Mary Kay Cosmetics. She started her career as a consultant in 1979 and was quickly promoted to sales director with a team of more than 50 beauty consultants.

Eleanor earned her first pink Mary Kay car in 1982 and was a multi-time member of the National Court of Sales & Recruiting, receiving several diamond rings and the coveted diamond bumble bee from Mary Kay. In 2010, she was voted “Miss GoGive,” the greatest award one can achieve in Mary Kay. Eleanor was an active member of the Kennebunk Alumni Association, and enjoyed regular lunches with her fellow classmates.

Eleanor loved weddings, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries – any chance to dance and party with her friends and family, particularly when “We Are Family” came on – and she made sure it did. Eleanor became notorious for her birthday cards full of confetti that spread love all over the laps and floors of her loved ones. She was larger than life and exuded love wherever she went.

Her energy was contagious, and the joy she shared with others was seemingly limitless. Eleanor’s life was a masterclass on how to be a strong, independent woman, and how to raise men that loved strong, independent women. She was the epitome of grace, and exemplified the virtues of empathy, integrity, and unconditional love, which will live on for generations to come.

A memorial service was held Wednesday, April 3, at 11 a.m. at New Life Church, 551 Alfred Road, Biddeford, followed immediately by her interment at Ocean View Cemetery, 1485 Post Road, Wells. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to St. Andre’s by sending a check to St. André Health Care, 407 Pool St., Biddeford, ME 04005 or by donating online at www.standre.org/ways-togive/make-a-gift/.

ROW Updates for Goose Rocks Beach

KENNEBUNKPORT T h ree Ken nebu n k por t Town Right-Of-Way (ROW) entrances along the East Arc of Goose Rocks Beach will be modified to increase resiliency.

The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust (KCT) has undertaken a dune restoration project along the KCT-owned beach lots (including one privatelyowned and one town-owned lot) extending from Broadway Avenue to Edgewood Avenue.

The town maintains three beach access entrances along the three town ROWs extending from Edgewood, Proctor, and Broadway Avenues.

Prior to the January storms, these three entrances existed as cuts through the dunes. These cuts created critical weaknesses that resulted in extensive dune erosion, eating all the way back to the small stone wall along K ings Highway. Following the advice of the Maine Geo-

logical Survey, the three beach entrances have been modified to increase their resiliency to future storms.

Following the recommendation of the Maine Geological Survey, at both the Proctor and Broadway entrances there will no longer be paths cut through the dune. Rather, beach access will use a ramp extending from the street to the top of the dune with mats being placed out over the dune surface and down to the beach elevation.

The Edgewood entrance will remain ADA-compliant, which requires that the entrance remain at the beach elevation.

In an attempt to provide some level of resiliency, the entrance path will be angled to northeast, passing through the juxtaposed town-owned lot. This will hopefully provide some degree

Wicked Good Fiddling at Brick Store Museum

KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum is proud to announce the opening of a new exhibition – “Wicked Good Fiddling!” – that focuses on Maine’s fiddling heritage.

The exhibition is supported by grants from Maine Humanities Council and the Onion Foundation, and will be on display through May 12.

Visitors can expect to find imagery and information illustrating fiddling in Maine over two centuries, as shown through photographs, tune books, musical recordings and of course, the fiddles themselves! Interactive activities include family-acces-

sible programs and opportunities for exploration within the exhibition. Curator Paul Wells will present a talk on his upcoming book of Maine fiddle tunes during the exhibit’s run.

Coming up on April 17 at 7:30 p.m., a concert to feature two Maine groups, the Pine Tree Flyers and Don and Cindy Roy, will showcase the rich, living traditions of Maine fiddling.

The Flyers are a relatively new quartet of well-seasoned musicians who put a fresh, contemporary spin on traditional New England dance music. The Roys have long been the leading exponents of Maine’s Franco-Amer-

Hospital Celebrates World Art Day Army Field Band, Soldiers’ Chorus Concert at SPAC YORK World Art Day is an international celebration of the fine arts, declared by the International Association of Art to promote awareness of creative activity worldwide. Held each year on April 15 – the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci – World Art Day provides an opportunity to affirm the role of the visual arts around the world.

York Hospital joins in celebrating local visual artists for their role in support of the mental and physical health of all in the community.

The York Hospital Art Committee annually reviews proposals submitted by local artists and selects several finalists to display their artwork in the hospital café and online art gallery for the coming year. Currently, Maine artist Matt Gunn is on display for the month of April. Of his painting, Matt states: “I’m currently developing a series of paintings based on my experiences working along Portsmouth’s industrial waterfront. I have always been fascinated by the grittier side of our industrial waterfront, where I work in and around enormous machines and ships.

I am drawn to the enormous scale, elaborate geometry, and the bold colors – chosen for their utility and safety rather than for any aesthetic consideration – of these places. I offer a different perspective: a view looking from the inside out on the unique juxtaposition of machinery, land, water, and sky of the Piscataqua River region.”

In May, local artist Sarah Cassani will hang her exhibit, which will be on display through

August. Beginning in September, New England watercolor artist Roger Morin will feature his artwork through the end of the year. Sarah recently shared her excitement about her exhibit on her webpage saying, “I am thrilled to have been selected to exhibit my work at York Hospital’s Café this summer. I plan to unveil a few paintings that I have never exhibited before.

York Hospital has played a special part in my life, and I am really looking forward to this nostalgic exhibition of my oil paintings in a space that I can remember since childhood.”

A portion of the proceeds from each piece sold will be donated to support York Hospital’s Caring for All Fund. Art Committee Chair Cynthia Hosmer states, “York Hospital is an important part of our community, and we’re hopeful that the Café Art Gallery and online site will help raise funds to support the hospital’s mission to care for all when needed most.”

To view the paintings in person, the York Hospital Dining Room is open to the public Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. To view the gallery online, visit www.yorkhospital.com/online-art-gallery.

The online gallery includes both present and past shows.

SANFORD T he U.S. A r my Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus will be performing at Sanford Performing Arts Center (SPAC) on Sunday, April 14 to celebrate “America the Beautiful,” a musical celebration of the diversity and beauty found throughout the United States of America.

Through exciting music and stunning visuals, audiences will be transported across the country and back, taking in breathtaking natural landscapes, and meeting the people who make up the very fabric of the country.

The concert aims to not only inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity across the nation, but to also honor the Veterans who answer the call to defend it.

The Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus are the oldest and largest of The U.S. Army Field Band’s performing components. Founded in 1946 and 1957 respectively, these two ensembles combine to present joint concerts on their national tours.

They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions.

The 60-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers’ Chorus perform regularly in famous concert halls around the world, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities. The joining of these two ensembles allows the musicians and performers to offer unparalleled versatility of programming,

which can range from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, Jazz classics, and Broadway musicals.

The band and chorus also perform independently, and have recently shared the stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops, the Cincinnati Pops, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to their national tours, formal concerts, chamber recitals, and educational outreach, members of the Con-

cert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions, including the Presidential Inaugural Parade, presidential funerals, the Army All-American Bowl, and diplomatic efforts overseas.

The performance begins at 3 p.m. at the Sanford Performing Arts Center (SPAC), 100 Alumni Blvd., Sanford. Tickets for the event are free. For more information and to purchase a ticket, visit www.sanfordpac.org/usarmy or call 207-206-1712.

Traip Academy Announces WMC Award Recipients

KITTERY Traip Academy recently announced two members of the Class of 2024 who received Western Maine Conference (WMC) Citizenship Award this year: Quinn Butler and Terry Gagner.

Each year the principals and athletic administrators in the WMC select two seniors who make contributions to their school in the areas of academics, athletics, leadership, and citizenship. The students, their parents, and a representative from the school can then attend the annual WMC Citizenship

Awards Banquet.

Gagner (left photo) is described as an outstanding student, person, and athlete. He is confident in who he is and not

afraid to be himself. He has challenged himself with advanced placement courses with a passion for math and science. Terry also has a love for music and the

arts. He has been part of student government for the past four years, serving as vice-president.

He is an innovative thinker and supports his peers, making decisions based on what is best for all. Gagner has played on the high school’s varsity soccer, basketball, and lacrosse teams – and has been a captain in each sport!

Terry plans to attend a four-year college and further his education in the field of forensic science.

Butler (right photo) has been described as strong, intelligent, and passionate. Her passion for learning promotes flexibility in her academic environment which includes course work at Traip Academy, the

KCM Seeks Vendors for 2024 KITTERY The Kittery Community Market (KCM) is currently accepting vendor applications for the 2024 season. Vendors looking for that perfect spot to showcase their goods need look no further!

KCM is still recruiting for the season, and would love to hear from new makers, farmers, and craftspersons to join the already vibrant KCM community.

With a festive and robust public market atmosphere, there could be no better place to be.

KCM currently has both full-time spots and part-time opportunities available. Although Mayfest, happening on Sunday, May 5 is already full, there are still plenty of other fantastic opportunities waiting.

In particular, KCM would love to see more prepared food vendors and agricultural vendors with items unique to their current lineup, goods that complement KCM’s already diverse market offerings. The KCM staff would love to hear from those who may have something unique and special to offer!

Space is also available for part-time artisan crafters, although the organizers do want to stress they are currently at capacity with those who sell hand-sewn items and soap.

KCM is located at Post Office Square, 10 Shapleigh Rd., in Kittery. The Market accepts SNAP and EBT, and participates in Maine Harvest Bucks, Bumper Crop, Vouchers for Veterans, and the Kid’s Power of Produce program. Most weeks there will also be live music and fun kids’ activities, and some weeks during the season will feature specialthemed markets. The special market themes are a great way for vendors to attract new customers and for KCM to offer a little extra fun for all to enjoy.

Before submitting applications, KCM asks prospective vendors to please take a moment to thoroughly review the rules and regulations checklist.

The deadline for the next round of applications is May 14.

For more information, visit www. kitterycommunitymarket.com or email kitterycommunitymarket@gmail.com.

1 large onion finely chopped, about 1 cup 2 cloves garlic minced (about 1 Tbsp.)

2 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger 1-1/2 tsp. salt, more to taste 1-1/2 tsp. ground coriander 1-1/2 tsp. garam masala (Indian spice blend) 1 tsp. ground turmeric

1/2 tsp. ground cardamom

1/4 tsp. chili powder or cayenne pepper 1/2 cup water

8 oz. baby spinach or trimmed regular spinach, washed and dried

1 lb. chicken breast or tenders cut into 1-inch pieces 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet or pot.

Add the onion, garlic, and ginger

and saute until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, lowering heat to medium-low if it starts to brown too quickly.

Over medium heat, add salt, c o r i a n d e r, g a r a m m a s a l a , turmeric, cumin, cardamom, and chili powder, and stir on mediumlow heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Dissolve the tomato paste in the water by stirring vigorously together in a measuring cup or bowl. Then stir into the spices in the pan, creating a thick spiced sauce, about 1 minute.

Add the spinach and gently stir to combine. Cover and raise the heat to medium-high, allowing the spinach to start to wilt. Occasionally remove the lid, stir, and then cover again until most the spinach has

WS

begun to wilt, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the lid and finish stirring the spinach until completely wilted but still bright green, another minute.

Transfer spinach mixture to a blender and puree until relatively smooth. Taste and adjust salt and spice if necessary.

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, return it to medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

When the oil is hot, add the cubed chicken pieces, sprinkle salt to season, and cook until almost completely cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the spinach mixture back over the chicken, using a rubber spatula, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken

to finish cooking. Stir in the yogurt, and serve immediately with basmati rice and/or naan.

. . . HIV from page 29 400 Mainers living with HIV/ AIDS across the state through comprehensive care management and housing assistance.

Over the last three years, the agency has expanded access to direct client assistance, tripled its HIV testing capacity, and ex-

panded its housing subsidy program. Additionally, the agency also played a critical role in passing state legislation that expanded access to HIV testing as well as HIV prevention medications.

Frannie Peabody Center (FPC) is the state’s largest nonprofit organization providing HIV/AIDS services. FPC delivers client-centered services to

more than 400 Mainers living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, co-occurring conditions, and barriers to care. FPC’s wraparound services support sustained health, and provide access to care through case management, behavioral health counseling, and housing assistance programs. FPC supports individuals in adhering to critical

HIV medication, thus lowering HIV viral load. Sustained viral load suppression reduces the risk of transmitting HIV and contributes to lasting health and wellness. FPC’s risk-reduction, education, and HIV testing services provide the community with the tools that best meet individualized needs in preventing HIV infection. Clients face a diverse
