Historic Tribal Legislation Now Law STATEWIDE On May 2, Governor Janet Mills signed LD 585 into law. This legislation is the result of many months of negotiation between the Wabanaki Nations and the Mills Administration that makes Maine one of only a few states to put into law a formal state-tribal collaboration process for policy making. The law had been passed in the Maine State Legislature on April 15 by a vote of 81 to 53, with 13 abstentions. It delivers tax relief to tribal members and tribal businesses, and it
Clark Releases “The Dark Waters” KITTERY / YORK One of the few bright spots of 2020 was the release of the novel "Medillia’s Lament" by Kittery/York author Jody Clark. It garnered high praises and captivated readers with its many twists and turns. The story itself was full of loss, despair, and regret; but ultimately, it was Clark’s use of magical realism which transformed it into one of hope and second chances. Now, two years later, he’s followed it up with "Medillia’s Lament II – The Dark Waters." The story takes place nearly twenty-five

years before the first book and gives the reader a bit more background on the mysterious and magical island of Applewood, Maine. W he n a sked how t he sequel came about, Clark said, “It actually never crossed my mind for there to be a part two . . . or three, for that matter. When I first wrote the screenplay for "Medillia’s Lament" back in 2003, I fully intended on it being a stand-alone project. It wasn’t until a few weeks after I released the novel that I started receiving messages asking me when the sequel was coming out. To be honest, I laughed the idea off at first. But when the comments started becoming more prevalent, that’s when my creative wheels started to turn. The next thing I knew, not only did I have an idea for a sequel, but I had high hopes of turning the whole thing into a trilogy.” Usually, Clark is able to release a new book each summer; but unfortunately, 2021 was his first summer in five years without a new book. “It wasn’t writer’s block or a lack of ideas,” Clark said. “I simply had no motivation to sit and write. I was depressed beyond belief that I couldn’t get this out last year, but luckily the mojo came back around Christmas and I

gives the tribes the opportunity to benefit from online sports wagering, providing a meaningful way for them to participate in the gaming industry in Maine from which they have been historically excluded. According to the governor’s office, the legislation is the most significant tribal legislation enacted in Maine in more than 40 years, addressing economic and financial issues, while also making institutional changes in how state government interacts with the Wabanaki Nations. Among other acts, this law replaces Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Maine, reinforces the ban on Native American mascots in schools, and establishes a Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous and Maine
Tribal Populations to promote, implement, and coordinate programs that create and improve opportunities for historically disadvantaged racial, indigenous, and tribal populations in Maine. It also creates a process to review all legislation for potential impacts on historically disadvantaged populations and encourages the appointment of tribal members to boards and commissions, such as the Maine Criminal Justice Academy and the University of Maine Board of Trustees, to enhance Tribal representation. York County is home to nearly 1,000 Native Americans, including members of the Wabenaki Nations. To see the complete law, visit www.legislature. maine.gov/legis/bills/display_ ps.asp?LD=585&snum=130.

was able to get it done for this summer.” The original "Medillia’s Lament" was based on a fictional Native American legend about a magical star that crashes off the coast of Maine. "A lot of people ask me if it’s a real legend," Clark says, "but it’s one hundred percent made up in my head. I’ve always been intrigued by Native American folklore, but I never wanted to encroach on any existing stories or legends.” He say that in the second book “there’s a quick mention of [the legend], but that’s about it. Actually, there’s a new legend introduced called The Dark Waters, and there’ll probably even be another one in book three. Ultimately, they will

CAPE NEDDICK A reptilian rehabilitant has recovered and waddled off from brief stardom. On September 21 of last year, the Cape Neddick Center for Wildlife admitted a 20-pound, c. 40-year-old snapping turtle that had been moving from his summer habitat to his fall and winter hibernating grounds. On his way, he needed to brave a road that runs between these areas. He had made it every year so far, probably in part through the help of his human neighbors. This time, though, he was found on the side of the road, having been run over by a car, with his shell crushed and suffering severe blood loss. Luckily, the locals stepped in, and, with the help of local police, they were able transport him safely to the center. According to the center’s Facebook page, “We were very
worried about his condition, and for the first week we didn’t think he would survive his internal injuries. But he surprised us each step of the way, and our team pulled out all the stops, utilizing creative methods to prevent secondary injury, keep his body cavity safe but not locking in infection, promoting expedited granulated tissue to get him in the water as soon as possible, and offering him daily drinks and even ‘sponge baths’ of wet towels while he drank at the sink to help him absorb water through his skin. He was able to be released 220 days later, back home exactly where he came from.” The center’s team, the turtle’s rescuers, and some reporters gathered for the sendoff. Soon after, the story went viral, even garnering a television report on See TURTLE on page 35 . . .

through the basics, and then I will give you some other options that may be easier to use. First, open the app that you are going to want to record. Once the app is up and running, press the Windows key + G to open the Game Bar app. If asked, check the box for “Yes, this is a game.” At this point, the easiest way to start recording is to press Windows + Alt + R. This will start recording everything you do in the app. You will see a little box pop up that tells you that you are recording and keeps track of how long your clip is. To stop recording, simply press Windows + Alt + R again. That’s it! Your clip will be saved in your Videos folder in a subfolder named Capture. There are some limitations. Since this is designed to capture gameplay, it will not capture the whole screen. The capture will be confined to the app you had opened when you started recording. If you switch apps, only the initial app will be recorded. That might be good, depending on what you might be doing in the background! If you want to record your entire desktop, two of the best free tools out there are OBS Studio (www.obsproject.com/) and Flashback (www.flashbackrecorder.com/express/). Both programs have far too many features to cover here, but you
PAID POLITICAL AD • PAID POLITICAL AD • PAID POLITICAL AD
York Voters - Vote NO on Article 68 On May 21, 2022 York residents will be asked to vote on Article 68 which asks for voters to establish a moratorium on the siting of wireless communications facilities. On the surface this appears to be a harmless pause on a service that most people have and take for granted. This article was brought forth by a small group of citizens and is specifically designed to stop AT&T from establishing a cell antenna on top of the water tower located in York Heights. After thorough investigation and consideration, the York Water District has approved the use of the water tower and signed a lease with AT&T. The cell antenna placement is within the town’s zoning guidelines and actually considered a preferred location. Currently, many residents in York, especially in the Village, have no cell service whatsoever. This includes Harbor Beach and portions of Long Sands and surrounding areas. Not only is this an incredible inconvenience, it is a huge safety concern. Without cell service these area residents and vacationers cannot call 911, receive updates on weather and storms through the internet, or make and receive phone calls. AT&T Wireless is the operator of the Federal Government’s FIRSTNET communications system for first responders, nationwide! Imagine in the year 2022 not having cell phone service! The proponents of Article 68 would have you believe that the emissions of radio energy by the antenna pose a health risk and that property values are negatively impacted by the antennae. The fact is that the emissions are well within the FCC limits and meet all federal, state, and local guidelines. Property values are likely impacted more by no or spotty cell coverage than an antenna on top of an already existing water tower. To review the comprehensive investigation and approval process please visit https://www.yorkwaterdistrict.org/yht and carefully review the content. If you scroll through the entire site you will see a variety of information to help you make an informed decision. Of particular importance is the report by David Maxson from Isotrope LLC and Professor Kenneth Foster. We all deserve cell phone service in York. Four out of five selectman support voting NO on Article 68. Ernest DelleDonne York Harbor

can find everything you need on the interwebs. Flashback comes in a free version (Flashback Express) and a paid version (Flashback Pro). If you think you might want to edit your videos after the fact, Flashback Pro is what you will want, and it is only $50 for a single PC license. OBS Studio does not offer any editing functionality. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, My son, Eric, is graduating high school in a few weeks, and I have a few random videos of him that I would like to combine into a single video to play at his graduation party. Is this something that can be easily done in Windows 11? I am not super tech savvy. Thank you very much for your help! Liane Dear Liane, I truly hope these are incriminating videos of your precious little boy, Eric. Those make the best graduation reels! You should be able to accomplish this task quickly and easily using the Photos app that is a part of Windows 10 and 11. First, open the Photos app. By default, you should see a blue bar in the upper left-hand corner of the app under Collection. If not, click on Collection. Then, on the right-hand side of the menu bar at the top, opposite Collection, you should see a few more icons. If you put your mouse pointer over the first one, it should be the New button. Click that button and then select “New video project” from the menu. Give the project a name in the box that pops up and click the OK button. Now that you have the new project open, click on the + Add button on the left under Project Library and add each of the video files (and/or pictures) that you would like to add. Once you have added all the photos and videos you want in the video, you drag them down to the bottom of the screen in the Storyboard section. Do not worry about the order, as you can drag them around in the
storyboard any time. There are several optional things that you can do in the storyboard, like 3D effects and filters, but you will have to experiment with them on your own. The one I would suggest you play with first is the “Add title card” button. You can preview at any time by clicking the play button in the top right pane. To save the project to an actual video file, click the “Finish video” button in the top right corner of the screen. In the next screen that pops up, I suggest leaving the video quality at High-1080p, as it will look best on most TVs. Click the Export button, choose a location and file name to save the completed video to and that is it! You now have a single video that you can play at his party . . . and when you are feeling lonely after he has gone off to college in the fall! Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I recently upgraded to macOS Monterey, and I love it! I love it so much that I am planning to get a new MacBook Pro 16 and start dabbling in video production again! I know how to restore from a Time Machine backup, so I am all set on migrating to the new machine. My question is around getting rid of my old one. I’m not sure if I will sell it or give it to a family member, but, either way, I’d like to remove all of my data from it beforehand. I recall it was a nightmare the last time I went through this. Internet recovery rings a bell. Is there a preferred and less painful way to clean my data nowadays? Thanks in advance, Clyde Dear Clyde, You are going to be shocked to learn how easy it is to wipe a machine today thanks to Monterey! First, open System Preferences. Then, click on System Preferences on the menu bar at the top to the right of the Apple See COMPUTER on page 15 . . .

Among the winners in Division 1 (ages 14 to 18) was Kennebunkport native Hannah Slone for her work titled “A Dress Made from Waste.” In her artist’s statement, Slone says, “This dress was made using plastic shipping/storage materials. I collected them over a month’s period of time from the shipments the store I worked in had received. I made this dress in order to raise awareness of how much waste we generate and the amounts of plastic pollution we create. I interlaced the plastic together using grommets and sashes. The sashes are comprised of white dead-stock fabric that I naturally dyed yellow with turmeric. I intended for the dress to be able to fall apart with one pull of a sash, littering the floor with plastic.” Other winners in Division 1 included Ellie Bouman and
Benjamin Pochurek of Freeport; and, in Division 2 (ages 19 to 22), Nicky Howard Rogers of

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Duclos Named Dance Hall Director KITTERY Sarah Duclos has been named the new Executive Director of The Dance Hall in Kittery by its board of directors. Duclos’s background in performing arts administration, combined with a deep passion for community-based arts and education programs, will help to further advance the mission of the organization that quietly celebrated its 10th anniversary during its closure last year. “Sarah’s vision, experience and passion for our mission will help ensure the sustainability and expansion of our work over the long term,” says Paul Hodes, Chair of The Dance Hall’s board. “While many arts organizations have struggled during the pandemic, we are so fortunate to have Sarah join the leadership team alongside Founding Artistic Director Drika Overton. With Sarah onboard, we’re ready for our next exciting chapter.” When Duclos assumed the role on April 15, she began managing day-to-day operations for The Dance Hall, a nonprofit performing arts venue housed in Kittery’s historic Grange Hall, known for its charming atmosphere and diverse lineup of music and dance programming. Duclos will also lead fundraising programs, as well as marketing and community engagement initia-

berto, Ernesto Olivas, Merrill Peiffer, Dash Perry, Leah Read, BB Stone, Louis A. Williams Jr, and John Zamborsky. Superstars come and go, but Cher is eternal! For six decades, she has dominated pop culture, pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers, letting nothing and no one stand in her way. Directed by Gerry McIntyre (Ogunquit’s “Jersey Boys” and “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”), “The Cher Show” is packed with so much story and hit music, it takes three women to tell her tale: the enigmatic newcomer, the glamorous pop star, and the cinematic icon. Thirty-five smash hit songs, two rock-star husbands, and those epic Bob Mackie gowns, all in one fabulous Broadway musical that will turn back time and keep you dancing in your seat. Writ ten by R ick Elice (Broadway’s “Jersey Boys,” “Peter and the Starcatcher”), the show will feature choreography by Jane Lanier (LA’s “The Wild Party”), music direction by Kristin Stowell (Ogunquit Playhouse’s “Mystic Pizza”), set design by Emmy Award winner Andy Walmsley (Broadway’s “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story”), projection design by John Narun (Broadway’s “Torch Song”), sound design by Kevin Heard (Ogunquit Playhouse’s
“Kinky Boots,” Broadway’s “The Minutes”), and the Tony Award-winning iconic Cher costumes originally designed by Bob Mackie. Rebecca McBee is the production stage manager, with Brian Robillard as the assistant stage manager. After a wildly successful outdoor season in 2021, Ogunquit Playhouse is moving back inside its historic building for the 90th-anniversary season, with four main-stage productions, two world premieres, three new Arts Academy productions, and a new HVAC system, while following Broadway’s lead on COVID-19 safety protocols. Following “The Cher Show” is a brand new version of Marvin Hamlisch and Rupert Holmes’s “The Nutty Professor” (July 1 August 6), the world premiere of BD Wong and Wayne Barker’s “Mr. Holland’s Opus” (August 12 - September 17), and a new take on the classic ‘80s murdermystery farce “Clue” (September 22 - October 30) from the creative team of last year’s world premiere musical, “Mystic Pizza.” Meanwhile, the Playhouse Arts Academy is offering up three new-to-Ogunquit productions of Disney’s “Moana Jr” (July 16-17), Disney’s “Descendants: The Musical” (July 30-31), and Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach” (August 27-28).

Emergency Services Earn Best Practice Awards YORK COUNTY The Maine Fire Protection Services Commission presented the York County Emergency Management Agency (YCEMA) and the York County Chiefs’ Association (YCCA) with a Best Practices Award. The award was presented at the Maine Fire Chiefs’ Conference on March 24 in recognition of the standing Incident Management Team (IMT) that is jointly operated by the YCEMA and YCCA. The standing IMT is a cooperative effort by the YCEMA, f ire departments, police departments, schools, and members of private industry to organize and manage the re-
sponse to emergency situations and crisis events. The York County IMT has been in existence for nearly eight years and has been activated for various events, such as storms, forest fires, and lost persons. Most notably, the IMT assisted the Berwick Fire Department following the line-of-duty death of Captain Joel Barnes in 2018. More recently, it organized and executed the COVID-19 vaccination efforts for first responders in 2020 and several public clinics in early 2021. For more information, contact Nate Schools of the YCCA at 207-929-3099 or nschools@ buxtonfr.org.
Artist Showcased at York Hospital YORK / KITTERY POINT The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed April 15 to be World Art Day, a day of celebration to promote the development, diffusion, and enjoyment of art, encourage greater awareness of the diversity of artistic expressions, and reinforce the links between artistic creations and society – goals that are more important today than ever before. The York Hospital Art Committee annually reviews proposals submitted by local artists and selects several finalists to display their artwork in the hospital cafe and online art gallery for the coming year. This year, the committee was pleased to procure beautiful watercolor paintings created by York Hospital Board of Trustees member Dr. Ken Fellows for display this spring. Dr. Fellows is retiring from the board after 20 years of service. This exhibition, on display through June 30, serves as a way to recognize the many accomplishments of our neighbor and friend. A small, private reception to honor Dr. Fellows’ service as a trustee and to celebrate his “second” career as an artist will take place later in June. After retiring from academic medicine and moving to Kittery Point almost 25 years ago, Dr. Fellows started drawing and painting as a hobby. Many local artists, especially the late Dewitt Hardy, guided and inspired his early watercolor work.
“Fish House” by Dr. Kenneth Fellows of Kittery Point.
According to Fellows, “Painting is pure pleasure for me and that’s my incentive. Listening to music while I paint, hours zip by, putting some creative wonder into my life. I love the things I paint and try to make each painting personally satisfying while hoping it may be interesting or pleasurable to others as well. I’m also fortunate to have a ‘livein jury’: my wife Kristin, our daughter Hannah, and our dear granddaughter, Ella. . . . Only pond-hockey and pick-up basketball are as much fun as painting, but art is far more enduring and satisfying!” 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, “We are so pleased to showcase these beautiful watercolors created by Ken, and to provide solace and inspiration within the hospital during this
York County Climate Cohort Awarded Grant YORK COUNTY A cohort consisting of the municipalities of Biddeford, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Kittery, led by the Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC), has received a grant award of $99,600 to help address climate change. The grant comes from the Community Resilience Partnership (CRP), a program of Governor Janet Mill’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future to help Maine communities with local climate action plans reduce carbon emissions, transition to clean energy, and become more resilient against climate change. On April 22 – Earth Day – the governor announced that her administration awarded a total of $2.5 million in grant funding to 75 communities across Maine to help them fight the effects of climate change. The Maine communities and organizations that received CRP grants span all 16 counties and represent a broad cross-section of projects, which include creating community climate plans, protecting historic downtowns from rising sea levels, addressing public health risks from rising temperatures, and supporting clean energy investments. In its application to the program, the SMPDC stated, “Many municipalities in [our] region are interested in developing a climate action plan, a document used to set goals for greenhouse gas emissions reductions and climate change challenging time in health care. York Hospital is a special place and an important part of our community, and we’re hopeful that the Cafe Art Gallery and online site will help raise funds to support the hospital’s mission to care for all when needed most.” Although the hospital cafe has not yet reopened to the general public for inside dining, caregivers, patients, and visitors may still view the artwork while picking up take-out orders, or in the online art gallery at www. yorkhospital.com/online-artgallery. The online gallery also includes works from previous exhibitions. For more information, contact Community Relations at 207-351-2385 or info@yorkhospital.com.
adaptation and to identify and prioritize actions to meet those goals. It is a large planning effort that takes a significant investment in time, staff, and financial resources. Over the past few months, SMPDC has been discussing with the municipalities of Biddeford, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Kittery about near term needs for climate action planning for their communities. “To help meet the needs of these communities, SMPDC will lead a Local Climate Action Planning Cohort. Through a cohort process, the communities will coordinate and work together as they develop their own unique local climate action plan. SMPDC will manage the cohort and provide a planning framework, technical assistance, plan development support, and peer learning opportunities to facilitate climate action planning in the participating communities.” Among the first actions
taken by the cohort will be a review of existing municipal plans, policies, and regulations related to climate action that will serve as a baseline for future climate action strategies; as well as a climate change vulnerability assessment that will be part of the final plan. Over the course of the project, the cohort will develop goals and strategies for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and adapting to climate change, ultimately leading to a Climate Action Plan and strategies for its adoption and implementation. Throughout the process, each community in the cohort will have a task force that will, among other responsibilities, facilitate public outreach and engagement efforts.

ACT Celebrates 2021 Volunteers ARUNDEL A r undel Conser vat ion Trust (ACT) celebrated the 2021 year in its fourth annual meeting on April 6. This year’s meeting was in person, thanks to Weir’s Buick GMC, who invited ACT to meet in their showroom. The meeting kicked off by reflecting on the significant accomplishments of 2021. In the spring, ACT partnered with Arundel Community Services to lead the Arundel Community Food Drive. As the weather warmed, ACT efforts moved outdoors, and ACT Trailblazer volunteers worked to clear the Welch Woods trail and made terrific progress clearing the expansion of the Phase II multi-purpose trail loop on Limerick Road that connects the new Arundel Town Hall property to the Eastern Trail. ACT hosted its first Trail Fest trail race in September, with over 100 people participating. ACT partnered with the Seashore Trolley Museum for an August ice cream social and then a holiday prelude event. Volunteers are the heartbeat of ACT, and without them, the organization could not realize its vision of creating open space and building trails for the community to enjoy. The ACT annual meeting expressed grat-
itude to its expanding group of volunteers, who, through their efforts, help to make nature and the wild spaces accessible. The ongoing challenges of pandemic confinement and social distancing only highlighted the importance of enjoying nature and outdoor activity. ACT thanks all its volunteers for their contribution of time and hard work, and honors the ACT 2021 award recipients for their unique talents, passion, and efforts in making the organization’s mission and vision a reality. For 2021, the Volunteer of the Year Award went to Arundel native Aaron Welch for his work on the new Limerick Road multiuse trail. The ACT Community Hero Award went to Jenn Shea, Arundel’s Director of Recreation for 19 years. The ACT Above and Beyond Award went to the Ingwersen Family for their help in making ACT’s first Trailfest a wonderful success; and to Shaun Donnelly and Amy Larkin for volunteering their creative, digital, and technical skills, helping ACT better communicate with its community.

Mental Health Month NATIONWIDE May is Mental Health Month, an annual observance designed to increase awareness about mental health and mental illness. Good mental health is essential to overall health and personal well-being. It also contributes to the ability to lead a healthy, balanced, and productive life. Si nc e 19 49, Me n t a l Health America and their affiliates across the coun-
try have led the observance of May as Mental Health Month by reaching millions of people through the media, local events, and screenings. According to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), mental health and substance-use disorders affect people from all walks of life and in all age groups. These illnesses are common, recurrent, and often serious; but they are treatable, and many people do recover.

Unfortunately, many people do not seek treatment for mental health issues for several reasons: they may not be completely aware of the extent of their problem, they may be hesitant to contact a mental health professional because they fear they will be stigmatized, or they may not know how to access services. Yet overall, quality of life is greatly improved when a person with a mental health concern or problem seeks help and receives appropriate treatment from a qualified professional. Addressing the mental health needs of a child is the responsibility of everyone in their circle of influence, including parents, teachers, coaches, doctors, and other community leaders. One of the leading causes of suicide attempts across all ages is depression. Mental or addictive disorders are associated with 90% of suicides. In a recent survey conducted by the CDC, 26.6% of high school youth said they had “seriously considered suicide within the last twelve months.” If you or someone you love is struggling with depression or thinking about suicide, get help now. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273TALK (8255), is a free resource, available 24 hours a day for anyone who is in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. The Crisis Text Line is a free 24/7 text line where trained counselors offer confidential support to individuals in crisis. Text “Jason” to 741741 to speak with a compassionate, trained crisis counselor. The Jason Foundation is
another available resource. The organization is dedicated to the awareness and prevention of youth suicide through educational programs that equip youth, parents, educators, and the community with the tools and resources to identify and assist atrisk youth. Many times, a young person will exhibit clear warnings signs prior to an attempt. By knowing the warning signs and knowing how to help, you could save a life. The foundation has never charged a school, community, or individual for the use of their programs or resources. Visit the Jason Foundation at www. jasonfoundation.com. Additionally, the Nation-
al Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Maine is releasing an “Impactful Conversations” YouTube series from which Mainers can learn about and deepen their understanding of mental health and local resources available to them and their loved one. This interactive campaign will be shared across NAMI Maine platforms and is designed to empower Mainers to share mental health information and support with their own networks. Mainers are encouraged to join the conversation to break down stigma and remind their community that hope and help is available. Visit www. namimaine.org/programs.

T h i s y e a r ’s t h e m e , “Energy Resilience,” focuses on how emerging technology – including photovoltaics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems – can provide energy resilience to homes and businesses, and helps communities adapt to these changes safely. “In today’s world, technological advancements are found in many areas of our lives,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA Vice President of Outreach and Advocacy. “While there are efficiency and green benefits associated with alternative energy sources, not everyone is aware of the fire and electrical hazards associated with them. National Electrical Safety Month helps educate people about these new technologies and the risks they pose to structures, occupants, and first responders.” According to NFPA and ESFI, contact with electricity is a leading cause of home and workplace injuries and fatalities; and with new technologies comes added dangers. Among other steps to reduce the risk, homeowners can have all electrical work done by a qualified electrician to ensure a home’s electrical system is installed to meet local codes and can accommodate additional loads imposed from charging electric vehicles; use surge-protective devices to help guard against voltage surges that may occur during power shutoffs and restarts, negatively impacting electronics and other sensitive equipment in the home office; and perform regular testing of ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) and breakers, based on manufacturers instruction, to ensure systems operate safety and efficiently.
In 2021, NFPA launched Faces of Fire/Electrical, a video awareness campaign focused on electrical hazards and created in collaboration with the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. The series reminds everyone about the importance of taking action
– at home and in the workplace – to stop electrical incidents from happening. The videos and related resources such as fact sheets, tip sheets, and reports can be found at www. nfpa.org/facesoffire. The NFPA is a global, self-funded nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, and property
and economic loss due to fire, electrical, and related hazards. The association began its work to solve the fire problem in a young, industrialized nation in 1896 and has since become a global force known for advancing safety worldwide. The NFPA delivers information and knowledge through more than 325 consensus codes and stand-
ards, research, training, education, outreach, and advocacy, and by partnering with others who share an interest in furthering its mission. NFPA will formally celebrate its 125th anniversary at its Conference & Expo in Boston, June 6-9. For more information or to view NFPA codes and standards for free, visit www.nfpa.org.

FINANCE & CAREER “Go Maine” Ride-Sharing Expands
STATEWIDE The Go Maine statewide ride-sharing program is expanding its push for environmentally friendly travel choices in its biggest, most robust initiative to date. Previously focused on the work commute, the expanded program now has a broader vision, showcasing a variety of smarter, lowerimpact transportation choices for every trip Mainers make. Trip reduction strategies such as walking, biking, using public transportation, carpooling, and working from home help reduce vehicle-miles traveled, a key goal of the Maine Climate Council’s “Maine Won’t Wait” climate action plan. To date, nearly 10,000 Mainers have signed up for the program, and dozens of organizations have incorporated Go Maine as part of their cul-
tures. All Go Maine programs and services are free. In addition to continuing its signature green-commuting recruitment tools, Go Maine is introducing several exciting and innovative programs for 2022. Those programs include Go Maine’s Access-Anywhere Online “Trip Planner”: Members can access an interactive mobile app with a trip planner that can generate a list of green travel options for any route in Maine. A free resource for both daily commuters and anyone traveling in the state, the planner provides details on carpools, vanpools, local transit, mass transit, park and ride options, designated bicycle routes, and more; New Employee Rewards and Incentive Programs to Benefit Employers: Dozens of Maine organizations have made Go Maine an appealing aspect of their cul-

tures, and the green commute program plans to recruit many more. Go Maine now offers expanded employee outreach and reward programs with more incentives, prizes, monthly drawings, seasonal promotions, and employer outreach opportunities; Doubling Down on the Way2-Go Maine Challenge: Way-2Go Maine, Go Maine’s highly successful “How Green Can You Go” competition, will be in May and October this year. The event gives green commuters and employers a chance to up their alternative travel games, build their own company teams, and vie for incentives, prizes, and bragging rights. This year’s top prizes include Maine State Park vehicle
passes, a Lumos bike helmet, a National Parks interagency annual pass, and gift cards. With our current high gas prices, Go Maine provides members a great opportunity to save money. Those taking advantage of the program can also reap additional financial benefits through the program’s reward system, earning reward points that add up to money-saving offers from local and national businesses, stores, and restaurants. Go Maine carpooling commuters also qualify for Go Maine’s Emergency Ride Home Benefit: in the event of a qualified emergency, the program covers the cost of a ride home from work, a special plus for businesses with participating employees.
“Whoever you are and wherever you’re going in Maine, Go Maine offers travel options that are a win for individuals, for organizations, and for the environment,” says Dale Doughty, Director of the Maine Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Planning. “We’d like everyone to know that Go Maine offers the greenest possible trip solution for you, no matter where you’re headed, every day and every way.” Go Maine is a program of the Maine Department of Transportation and the Maine Turnpike Authority.

Tutoring Grants Now Available KENNEBUNK & STATEWIDE On Monday, April 18, Governor Janet Mills signed into law a bill from state senator Joe Rafferty (D-Kennebunk). The bill, LD 1962 “An Act To Increase Learning Potential by Providing High-impact Tutoring Grants,” will address and improve student learning that has been affected by the pandemic. “This bill is designed specifically to help our students who may have had their education negatively impacted during the pandemic,” said Senator Rafferty. “While I am no longer in classrooms every day, I have substituted many times these last two
years, and my wife, Norma, still teaches part-time. We have seen firsthand the toll this pandemic has had on our schools. To be clear, the work our schools have done with the challenges they have faced has been incredible, and my heart goes out to all of them. Despite their good work, we still need to do what we can to make sure no one gets left behind. I’m grateful for the support this has received and am excited to see how this bill will help our classrooms recover.” As amended, LD 1962 will address learning gaps that have been exacerbated by the pandemic by establishing the Innovative Instruction and Tutoring Grant Pro-
gram Fund within the Department of Education and directing the department to use federal funds for the program. The fund will be used to encourage innovative instruction and tutoring programs in schools around Maine, including “high-impact tutoring,” that address learning loss or unfinished learning through the use of various interdisciplinary approaches. The bill supports educators, improves academic outcomes for Maine students, and helps teachers reach students that have fallen behind to stay on track. LD 1962 will take effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns sine die.

FINANCE & CAREER Promise Free College Scholarships WELLS & STATEWIDE York County Community College (YCCC) is pleased to announce the York County Promise Free College Scholarship. The scholarship is made possible by a new initiative passed recently by the Maine state legislature and signed by the governor making Maine high school graduates from the classes of 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 eligible for a scholarship that covers the tuition and fees of an associate degree or oneyear certificate at YCCC. “The York County Prom-
ise Free College Scholarship is another way YCCC is working to supply a trained and educated workforce to Maine’s businesses,” said YCCC President Michael Fischer. “Much like the Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan, the Free College Scholarship invests in Maine residents to help them receive the training and education needed to support long-term economic growth in Maine.” The York County Promise Free College Scholarship will cover tuition and fees of an associate degree or one-year certificate at YCCC. It is a last-dollar scholarship, meaning that eligi-
ble students must first accept all federal and state grants awarded to them. Any remaining costs associated with tuition and fees will be covered by this award. To qualify, students must have a high school diploma or equivalent from 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 (this includes homeschooled students and students earning a GED or Hi-SET during those years); enroll full time, earning 30 credits per year; pursue an associate degree or academic credential; accept all federal and state grants and scholarships; participate in academic planning and advising to
stay on track to completion; and live in Maine at the time of enrollment and while enrolled in the program. The Free College Scholarship is offered in addition to multiple other tuition-waiver or free college opportunities at Maine’s community colleges, such as free early college classes for Maine high school students; free short-term workforce training programs; and tuition waivers for adult education students, service members or veterans, students from foster care, Native Americans from regional tribes, low-income parents, senior citi-
zens, and children or spouses of Maine public servants killed in the line of duty. Applications are ongoing. Other colleges offering the Free College Scholarship are Central Maine Community College, Eastern Maine Community College, Northern Maine Community College, Southern Maine Community College, and Washington County Community College.

Weatherization Project Maine Tourism Career Center Online Funding Announced STATEWIDE US S e n a t o r s Su s a n Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME) announced that Maine will receive a total of $31,245,144 to help low-income families make energy-efficient improvements and lower their heating and electric bills. This funding was authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and provided through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) – the Department of Energy’s largest residential energy retrofit program. Senator Collins was part of the core group of ten senators who negotiated the text of the bipartisan infrastructure law. Projects supported by WAP include installing insulation, updating heating and cooling systems, upgrading electrical appliances, and taking other common-sense actions that make homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with less energy usage. “The Weatherization Assistance Program is a proven, cost-effective way to permanently reduce energy usage and
cut low-income Americans’ utility bills for the long-term. Energy efficiency projects also protect the environment, increase energy independence, and create jobs,” said Senator Collins. Senator King said, “Weatherization is an efficient way to reduce heating costs, fight climate change, and help Maine people stay warm during the winter. For years, the Weatherization Assistance Program has helped low-income Maine homeowners make these important upgrades, and I’m glad to see the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill making significant investments in the program. This funding will help low-income Maine homeowners cut their energy bills, while also creating important jobs in communities across our state.” Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who helped pass the law, stated, “This winter, Mainers have been faced with staggering utility bills. Expanded funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program will help slash monthly energy bills for hardworking Maine families, create good-paying jobs, and reduce
STATEWIDE A coalition of six associations is proud to announce that it has opened the Maine Tourism Career Center (MTCC), an online tourism career center. The coalition includes the Maine Tourism Association, HospitalityMaine, Retail Association of Maine, Maine Summer Camps, Maine Campground Owners Association, and Maine State Golf Association. The career center will be a central resource for Maine’s tourism-related jobs. The MTCC will include full-time and seasonal job listings emissions.” Since 1976, WA P has served over seven million households and delivered an average of $372 in annual energy savings for American families. The bipartisan infrastructure law increased funding for WAP to ten times current funding levels, which will expand weatherization services to more homes and create more jobs.
for employers to advertise their positions. Job seekers can upload their resumes, search for job opportunities, connect directly with employers, and sign up to receive weekly job alerts from their field of interest. A career coach is available to assist with writing a resume. Job seekers can also find information on career pathways within all segments of the tourism industry, as well as access interview, resume, and networking tips. There is no cost to the job seeker to utilize these services. Businesses that are members of any of the coalition associations can utilize the career center at a discounted price. “This is a true online career center and is so much more than the traditional job board we tend to think of,” said Tony Cameron, CEO of the Maine Tourism Association. “The key to our success is the partnership with these other great organizations. With everyone’s buy-in, we can offer tourism job seekers a single site where they can learn about all of
the great career opportunities in Maine, as well as understand all of the career pathways available to those who work in tourism.” Kathryn Ference, Director of Workforce Development for the Maine Tourism Association, stated, “The career center coalition will promote all of the unique, exciting, and varied career opportunities in our state’s tourism industry to job seekers in and out of state. While there likely won’t be a shortage of Maine employers posting job openings, the challenge is getting a strong pool of job seekers interested in working in Maine to populate the resume bank. To address this challenge there will be a social media campaign in and out of state to drive people to the virtual career center. Also, the MTCC will be presented to high school and college students in Maine.” Mari O’Neil, Director of the Maine Business Education Partnership, the workforce deSee CAREER on page 30 . . .

David R. Gorrill, 82 WELLS – David Richard Gorrill, a native of Brockton, MA, and resident of Wells, passed away on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry J. Gorrill and Anne E. Gorrill Sayce (née O’Brien). David is survived by his wife of 62 years,
Carolyn F. (Tweed) Gorrill; his children: Linda S. Maynard and her husband Bill of Deerfield, NH, and Basil Gorrill and his partner Chris Pugsley, of Moody, ME; his granddaughters: Katie Sang and her husband Hoon, of Bow, NH, and Shannon Mommsen and her partner John Landergan, of Central Falls, RI; his great-granddaughter, Ella Sang; his sister, Carole Florek; and his half-brother, Jonathan Witham. After completing school in Hanover, MA, David attended vocational programs related to blueprints, design, and implementation of screw machine products. After working at Barco Engineering, David, along with his wife, Carolyn, opened New Hampshire Machine Products in Exeter, NH. They worked hard, successfully retiring at the
young ages of 47 and 45. They enjoyed many years living in Exeter, NH, and Prince Edward Island, Canada, each summer; and Mohave Valley, AZ, each winter. Since 2012, they have lived in Maine. David was always willing to help others with anything and everything that they needed assistance with. He fixed appliances, Sheetrocked, tiled floors, did plumbing, and much more! He even built a breezeway over the last year, which he was so proud of! He always was the provider and protector of his family, worrying about everyone else except himself. He loved to help everyone without hesitation and with a smiling face. David truly enjoyed fishing, hunting, social drinking, gardening, and gambling. He loved his family
wholeheartedly. A sweet place in his heart was when he spent time with his great-granddaughter and took her on ATV rides and fed the neighbor’s ducks. David’s life was celebrated by visiting with friends and family on Saturday, April 23, 2- 4 p.m., at Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Road, Wells. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Arthritis Foundation, P.O. Box 96280, Washington, DC 20077; or to the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 7023 Merrifield, VA 22116-7023.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Gray, short haired Taboo (pict ured) and brown tiger Kadean are lovely five-year-old sisters looking for a happy forever home after having to leave their first family. Taboo is extremely affectionate, wanting to soak in all your attention. She drapes herself around your neck, purring and seeking all your love. Taboo is more outgoing and confident than Kadean, who is a little shy from her recent change in circumstances, peeking out of her cubby, watching and wondering how soon she’ll be over her nerves. We know it’s just a matter of time before she is as affectionate as she was before. The best home for these two darling kitties would be one that is quiet, dedicated, cat savvy, patient, and fun. They will want lots of love, and they’ll want to be a part of your life. Taboo has recovered from her recent dental procedure, and both are all set medically. Call 207-646-1611,

Annie Goes to School SOUTH BERWICK A few Central Elementary School classes recently had the opportunity to visit with Annie, a therapy dog. Annie and ed-tech Johnna Ward had previously completed coursework and evaluations through Pet Partners to become trained and certified to visit various institutions, including hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. Students in Kim Quinlan’s first-grade class enjoyed time petting Annie and feeding her treats. Annie continued on to Gina Cattrano’s second-grade class, where students took turns walking outside with her before she settled into the classroom to fashion handbags, antiques (both primitive and mid-century), and décor to suit your beach house or farmhouse. We welcome donations of quality and unique items every Saturday, 12-3 p.m. Our shop is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11-4 p.m. Every dime you spend supports our no-kill mission by paying our growing vet bills and buying food and litter so we can keep rescuing the neediest cats.

Emma’s Angels NORTH BERWICK We have a few pets that have been with us for a bit and we are not sure why. Charlie is a three-year-old lab/terrier who weighs about 55 pounds and is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. He is a love bug who would do well in a home with older kids and maybe one other dog. Not a hiking dog, he
says, “Therapy dogs provide a unique and effective source of comfort and confidence to students of all ages, and we hope to see these special visitors returning to Central.”
is a homebody who might enjoy lounging by the lake but really just wants to be a couch potato. April is a stunning gray and white one-year-old tabby girl who came with eight others from Louisiana. Spayed and also up to date on her shots, she is friendly, talkative, and ready for her forever home. If you would like to meet either one of these wonderful pets, call 207-671-1367 to set up a meet-and-greet. We are also looking for foster homes. If you can give two weeks of your time to a shelter pet, give us a call. We supply the food and toys, you supply the love.

~ Obituaries ~ . . . HOULE from page 28 Blanche (Nolette) Houle. He and his family resided in Canada ,where he attended local schools. The family moved to Sanford, in 1959 after the passing of Dennis’ mother. His father suffered from tuberculosis and went into a rehabilitation facility when Dennis was a teenager. His older brother, Donald, took Dennis and his brother John to live with him. Dennis started working at the age of 15. Dennis enjoyed spending many weekends at his sisters’ house watching TV with his nieces and nephew; they enjoyed jumping on their big uncle. His other favorite enjoyment at that time was to read his many comic books. He also loved to go to the drive-in movies with family and friends. Later he moved back to Canada with Pops where he bought a big farm house (77-79) where his sisters would bring their kids and enjoy Christmas and vacations. Dennis was a great source of entertainment for all the kids, even spending one funny night chasing a bat that invaded the house. Pops and Dennis then moved to Kingston, NH, to live with his brother Donald. He worked at the local mills and did not like it. While looking at job ads, there was one that said Nurses Aide positions. This ended up being the job Dennis enjoyed as a career. He retired after many years on the job, achieving a 25 year nursing pin in the process. Den n is a nd h is sister Cecile and husband Joe bought a house together in Wells. She loved plants, and Dennis learned a lot from her about them. Every spring, they would dig up and divide plants. Each year, they would donate over 200 plants to Wells High School for fundraising. Their house was the place to go for perennials for the Wells area. He enjoyed playing cards. One of his favorite games was “The Marble Game.” He enjoyed raising pigeons with his brother John. They would travel great distances for pigeons shows and meet and become good friends with many other breeders. Dennis loved to travel to Canada with his sisters, Joan and Cecile, to visit his brother
Normand and family. They would return with their Canadian food supply. He is sur vived by his brother Normand Houle of Victoriaville Canada, and his sister Joan Cram of Wells. He is pre-deceased by two brothers Donald Houle of Kingston, NH, and Jean-Paul Houle of Somersworth, NH; and one sister, Cecile Roux of Wells. “Denden” had may nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. There is no service plan at this time. In his honor, please consider planting a perennial in his memory.

Beatrice Phillips, 92 KENNEBUNK – Betty Phillips passed away on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at Saint Andre Health Care in Biddeford, following a twelve year journey with Alzheimer’s. Born Beatrice Louise Lothrop on May 23, 1929, in Pine Point, Betty was the ninth child of the late Mel and Edith Lothrop. Betty attended Scarborough schools, graduating from Scarborough High School in 1947. Betty’s life would be forever changed on Memorial Day 1949, when a young sailor winked at her from across the room at The

Blaine Restaurant on Congress Street in Portland. She and the sailor, Loyd Phillips, stayed in touch over the next four years, marrying in Yuma, AZ, on January 4, 1953. The couple welcomed their first child in 1954, and two more children in the next three years. They lived in various locations while Loyd was in the Navy, finally settling in Kennebunk, upon his retirement in 1963. In order to make money to cover the down payment on their home in Kennebunk, Betty cut clams in her kitchen for her brother’s seafood business. A few years after settling in Kennebunk, Betty and Loyd welcomed their fourth child. Betty spent many years raising the couple’s children, finally returning to work once their youngest child was in school all day. Once again she worked cutting clams, this time for her nephew in her hometown of Pine Point. Betty’s greatest joy in life was her family. She enjoyed spending time with them and especially enjoyed the frequent family parties celebrating various holidays and birthdays. Over the years, Betty welcomed many of her children’s friends to these parties, taking care to make sure that by the time they left they felt like family too. She was truly “everyone’s mom.” Her other great joy in life was the beach. Betty spent countless hours soaking up the sun on Gooch’s Beach in Kennebunk and was happiest when accompanied there by her children and/or grandchildren. In 2010 Betty was diag-
nosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She remained at home with her husband Loyd until January 2013 when her disease progressed to the point where it was unsafe for her to do so. Over the next several years she spent time in Huntington Common, Monarch Center, Bellavita, and finally Saint Andre Health Care. No matter where she went, Betty quickly became a favorite among the caregivers. While her disease could make her challenging to deal with, her underlying sass and sweetness made her easy to love. Betty’s family is most grateful for the wonderful care given to Betty by the staff of Saint Andre Health Care. Their kindness and compassion enhanced the quality of the final years of her life. Betty is survived her children and their spouses (whom she also considered “her children”), Boyd and Brenda Phillips, Cheryl and Michael Day, Floyd and Gail Phillips, and Edie and Rober t Rossborough; her eight grandchildren, Christopher (and wife Heidi), Ross (and wife Anna), Ashley (and husband Brad Miele), and Kayla (and partner Tony Sarco-
na) Phillips, and Kylie, Phillip, Bella, and Brady Rossborough; great-grandchildren Jackson and Isla Phillips, and Hamilton and Oliver Miele. While her great-grandchildren did not have the opportunity to know the real “Bet,” they will be the beneficiaries of the deep love and family values that she instilled in her children and grandchildren. In addition to her husband and parents, Betty was predeceased by brothers Everett, Edward, Harold, Gerald (Buster), and Joseph Lothrop, and sisters Emily Sargent, Gladys Collins, and Dorothy Willette. No service will be held at this time. The family will instead honor Betty’s memory and spirit See PHILLIPS on page 30 . . .

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. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

Georgette Small, 79 W ELLS – Georget te Small, of Wells, passed away peacefully as Heaven called for an angel on early March 31, 2022. Georgette had the most beautiful soul, and her kindness was evident in each and every day of her life. She cared deeply and was always worried about or helping out anyone she felt may need it. Her selflessness had no limits, even if it meant things were on a shoestring budget. You could always find
her in the kitchen making one of her famous French dishes. She truly loved and lived to host family gatherings and holidays. Georgette was born on May 18, 1942, in Paris, France. She was the wife of James Small for 62 years. Besides her husband, she leaves behind her children: Dominique Small, Marylin Lite and her husband David, George Small and his wife Paula, and Linda Small; five grandchildren: Rachael A nd rade and her husband Steve, Noah Small and his wife Liz, Kana Small, Michael Lite, and Lilly Small; four greatgrandchildren: Allysa, Micha, and Gideon Andrade and Sofie Small. She also leaves behind her family in France, including her sister, Renee Place and her husband George; nieces Sophie Place and Nathalie Grahjon; and her grandnieces Elisa, Amelie, and Juliette Grahjon. Friends and family are invited to celebrate her beautiful soul on May 13, 10:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Mercy Chapel, 1861 Main Street, Sanford. Refreshments will be served. In keeping with Georgette’s wishes, a memorial contribution has been set up for Hope Lodge. Their help made all the difference when it mattered the most, and she would like to pass it forward: www.main.acsevents.org/goto/ celebrationofgeorgettesmalllife.

Charlotte Irene Tewksbury, 76 YORK – Charlotte Irene Tewksbury passed away on April 6, 2022, at the age of 76 in Biddeford. Charlotte was born on April 19, 1945, and was a lifelong resident of York. The embodiment of selflessness and generosity, Charlotte was always ready with a helping hand or sympathetic ear. Family was the singular most important thing in Charlotte’s life, and she greatly treasured being a mother and grandmother. Charlotte was predeceased by her parents Russell and Maxie Marston, sister Anita Marston, and sister-in-law Judy Marston. She leaves behind her husband Lee Tewksbury Jr., son Lee Tewksbury III, daughter-in-law Lisa; grandchildren Erin and Sarah Tewksbury; brothers Raymond Marston, Roger Marston and wife Leona, Ralph Marston and wife Terry, and Rodney Marston and wife Holly; and several nieces and nephews. The family will be hold-
velopment arm of the Retail Association of Maine, stated,“We are thrilled to be a part of MTA’s innovative on-line career center. Retail is one of Maine’s largest private employment sectors, employing more than 80,000 people. The career center will be a beneficial conduit in connecting businesses with qualified candidates searching for employment in the many career paths that exist in the retail field.” Kathy Dyer, Executive Director of the Maine Campground Owners Association, said, “Having an online tourism career center specific to the needs of both the employer and employee can’t come soon enough – the perfect tool for campground owners and others to find staff for the coming tourism season. And the site is extremely user friendly. The Maine Campground Owners Association is pleased to be part of the coalition.” Matt Lewis, CEO of HospitalityMaine, said, “A new site dedicated to hospitality jobs in Maine could be the missing link in the hospitality hiring chain. It’s one crucial step in solving the chronic labor shortage this sector sustains year after year.” The MTCC can be found at www.mainetourismjobs.com.

. . . TURTLE from page 4 News Center Maine this past April 28. The segment features local humans Amanda and Lila Ouellette, who had helped the old guy more than once across the road and who found him in his injured state. The report also includes Kristen Lamb, the center’s executive director, detailing the valiant and imaginative efforts of the team to save the patient by initially stopping the blood being lost from the large crack in its shell. “We were packing the wound. We ended up using collagen strips, Manuka honey; we even used beeswax and silver sulfadiazide – all sorts of things to pack the wound and try to help seal off the body cavity” she explained. Their “special ancient individual,” as she called the beshelled reptile, endured surgery and weeks of physical rehabilitation, with the team pumping his legs for the first few days he was recovering from the anesthesia. All the while, according to the report, his progress was documented on Facebook, where he had millions of hits on a video of him drinking water. The old turtle had become a bit of a celebrity. The Center for Wildlife’s page goes on to say, “His story has gone viral we believe because of the vulnerability he showed while in care. We hope that his story has helped to educate on the importance of predators like snapping turtles to balance their ecosystems, how snapping
turtles are not ‘mean’ but snap in self defense due to their tiny plasteron (bottom shell) and inability to pull themselves in like other turtle species, along with the importance of getting injured wildlife to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for specialized medical treatment, nutrition, husbandry, and knowledge of ecology and natural history.” As News Center Maine’s Peggy Keyser reports, “If you encounter any turtle on a road, you can help it on its way in the same direction that it was traveling. If you encounter a snapping turtle, you can use a blanket, towel, or sweatshirt to guide it by either nudging it from behind or getting the turtle on the blanket and dragging it to the side of the road.” To see the full segment, visit www.tinyurl.com/4st2jzjx.

~ Sports & Outdoors ~ Racing Toward The Belmont Stakes
NATIONWIDE Thoroughbred racing has a storied and illustrious history. Throughout late spring, racing’s best young horses compete for awards in various races. The goal is to win all three of these coveted titles and earn ranking as a Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing is comprised of three events: the Kentucky Derby (May 7 this year), the Preakness Stakes (May 21) and the Belmont Stakes (June 11). The Kentucky Derby begins the excitement in May, followed two weeks later by the Preakness Stakes. The Belmont Stakes, often called “The Test of the Champion” or “The Run for the Carnations,” marks the third and final leg of the Triple Crown.
The Belmont Stakes, despite being the last race in the crown, is the oldest of the three Triple Crown events. The Belmont predates the Preakness by six years and the Derby by eight years. The first running of the Belmont Stakes took place in 1867 in Jerome Park. According to the Belmont Stakes, the
Belmont is the fourth oldest race in North America. Each year on the first or second Saturday in June, tens of thousands of enthusiasts head to Belmont Park in Elmont, NY, to witness the race firsthand. Millions more will tune in to watch the event on television. The race is 1.5 miles, which has been the norm since 1926, making it the longest race of the Triple Crown. The winning horse is draped with a blanket of white carnations. Unlike the other races in the Triple Crown, the Belmont has evolving traditions. The post-race parade song has been changed several times to represent various New York themes. Also, the official drink of the White Carnation was changed in 1997 to the Belmont Breeze.
Berwick Academy Boys Tennis SOUTH BERWICK Thursday, April 28, offered Berwick Academy’s boys varsity tennis team its third straight sweep. The team took all five matches against Bancroft School. According to coach Kathy Verone, “It was a windy battle and a tough start, but they adjusted.” In singles, Gabe Naftoly won 3-6, 6-1, 10-3; Alex Penfold won 6-1, 6-1; and Jonny Civitarese won 6-0, 6-0. In doubles, Hayden McGovern and
Jonah Friedman won 6-2, 6-0; and Peter Wodjak and Garret Lincoln won 6-3,6-0. The following Saturday, though, proved to be tough for the team. After a long ride to Rhode Island to play against Portsmouth Abbey, Berwick only took one match with Gabe Naftoly’s win in two sets, keeping his undefeated record so far this season with five wins. The rest of the team fought hard but came up short.
It was once again modified in 2001 to the Belmont Jewel. In the history of the Triple Crown, 13 horses have won all three races: Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet
(1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977), Affirmed (1978), American Pharoah (2015), and Justify (2018). It stands to be seen what contender this year will get a shot at the carnations and trophy.
