OGUNQUIT September 11, 2001 is a date imbedded in the memories of all Americans; for Donato Tramuto, who lost three friends on that day, the horror of 9-11 was the impetus to convert his grief into action by creating the Tramuto Foundation in their memory. September 11, 2021, the Ogunquit-based Tramuto Foundation will celebrate 20 years of providing financial assistance to hundreds of organizations and individuals around the globe whose shared mission is to create a more compassionate, fair and just world. Joining Tramuto and his guests at the Cliff House Resort, will be renowned journalist and event emcee, Katie Couric, actors and activists Charles Shaughnessy and Matt McCoy, former US Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. “I am deeply honored that these accomplished human rights activists will be in Ogunquit to help us celebrate organizations that work each day to make this a better world for all,” Tramuto said. “I am truly grateful to have friends who understand that we cannot be content to sit back while others are in need; we can’t turn our backs when all someone needs is a helping hand. These are people who define the words compassionate leadership.” The event will showcase the work of nine honored organizations that have received more than $1 million in Tramuto Foundation grants. Each organization will also share in the proceeds raised at the 20th Anniversary Gala that will also highlight more than 50 past recipients of the Tramuto Foundation’s annual college scholarship. A highlight of the evening will be a live auction, offering a number of pre-paid luxurious vacations destinations in Maine, Nashville, Hawaii, and Florence,

Anniversary of US’s Most Widely Felt Earthquake
EAST COAST Ten years ago, in the early afternoon of August 23, 2011, millions of people throughout the eastern U.S. felt shaking from a magnitude 5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia. No lives were lost, something experts called “lucky” given the extent of shaking, but property damage was estimated to be in the range of $200 to $300 mil-
lion.
U.S.
Although not the strongest earthquake to have occurred in the eastern U.S., let alone the western U.S., the Virginia earthquake was likely felt by more people than any earthquake in North America’s history. This is due to the large distances at which people felt ground shaking and because of the density of the population in the eastern
“The 2011 earthquake in Virginia was significant in raising awareness of east coast earthquake hazards and the importance of research to understand when and where earthquakes can occur,” said David Applegate, the U.S. Geological Survey’s associate director for natural hazards. Scientific studies by the USGS and partners played a critical role in helping prepare for and respond to this earthquake. The USGS is the federal government’s lead agency for assessing seismic hazards before, during and after earthquakes, providing critical information used to reduce risks to lives and property nationwide. Over the past decade, scientists have continued building on their knowledge of eastern U.S. earthquakes, specifically focusing on what can be learned from this Virginia earthquake. USGS scientists found that the strength of ground shaking from the Mineral earthquake was substantially greater to the northeast than in other direc-

tions. This direction is nearly parallel to the orientation of the Appalachian Mountains and the eastern edge of the continent, which shows the influence of large-scale features like mountain ranges on ground shaking. The earthquake occurred in what is known by scientists as the Central Virginia Seismic Zone, which has a long history of occasional earthquakes. Identifying the locations and magnitudes of past earthquakes and the likelihood of future earthquakes in the region is an area of active research. More than 450 aftershocks, including six greater than magnitude 3, were identified in the year after the earthquake, and nearly 4,000 have been recognized from subsequent analyses so far. This knowledge is helping to better understand fault lines and earthquake sources and refine estimates on the number of aftershocks that can be expected.

The Mineral earthquake demonstrated how much farther ground shaking can extend in the eastern U.S. than in the western U.S. The eastern U.S. has older rocks that are harder and often denser, and faults on those older rocks have had more time to heal, allowing seismic waves to cross them more efficiently when an earthquake occurs.

Another factor that increases potential risk in the eastern U.S. is that many older structures, such as buildings and bridges built before the 1970s, were not designed to endure strong shaking from earthquakes. The eastern U.S. is not immune to damaging earthquakes. This hazard has been known since colonial days when damaging earthquakes occurred off Cape Ann, Massachusetts, in 1755 and near Petersburg, Virginia, in 1774. The largest earthquake in the eastern U.S. was the magnitude 7 earthquake in 1886 near Charleston, South Carolina, and significant earthquakes have occurred in more recent years, such as in Delaware in 2017 and North Carolina and Puerto Rico in 2020, confirming that earthquakes can strike unexpectedly in many areas of the eastern U.S. and its territories. While earthquakes in this region occur less frequently than other natural hazards such as severe storms and floods, the impact of a large earthquake could equal or exceed the damage inflicted by other natural disasters.

A number of other auction items, from Zoom interviews with celebrities, to certificates to amazing restaurants, will be available online on September 4th, specifically for pre-event bidding https://event. gives/tf20thgala. The Tramuto Foundation was created following the death of Tramuto’s two close friends, Ron Gamboa and Dan Broadhurst, and their young son, David, who perished aboard Flight 175 on September 11, 2001. They had been staying at Tramuto’s home in Ogunquit over the weekend and they were scheduled to a flight that Tramuto was originally scheduled to board. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Tramuto and his partner, Jeff Porter, wanted to honor their friends’ memory in a way that would ease the heartbreak and grief caused by that horrific event, while making the future brighter for others. The ‘Remember, Reflect, Hope’ Gala will celebrate the families, friends, individuals, and organizations that have been supported by the foundation since its formation.

~ Library News ~ Tri-Town Bookmobile Completes One Book One Community Program NORTH BERWICK The Tri-Town Bookmobile (TTB) was selected as one of 300 libraries to participate in Libraries Transforming Communities: Focus on Small and Rural Libraries, an American Library Association (ALA) initiative that helps library workers better serve their rural and small communities. The competitive award winners received a $3,000 grant. The Tri-Town Bookmobile chose to offer a “One Book One Community” program to collaborate with our community members to build rapport and resiliency. As part of the grant, TriTown Bookmobile staff participated in an online course in how to lead conversations, a skill vital to library work today. Staff then hosted an online conversation about the book, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse, with school-age community members to exchange ideas, build empathy, increase compassion, and strengthen resiliency. Additional conversations were held in-person while the TTB was stopped in our community. The program focused on increasing empathy, tolerance, and understanding, as well as promoting inclusion and supporting diversity especially during challenging times.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ White Pine Celebrates Roots YORK BEACH White Pine Programs is excited to celebrate its roots by honoring the Gardoqui Family on Sunday, August 22 at Long Sands Beach in York. All are invited to the ceremony which will take place 4-7 p.m. near the bath house, and features family-friendly games. Board Selectman Todd Frederick and President of the Board Hilary Clark will also speak. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the event is “bring your own” food, beverages, and beach seating. Please RSVP for the event at https:// forms.gle/GVL9hpLimjJ4yUjG6 or email info@whitepineprograms.org with questions. White Pine Programs is a nonprofit educational organization in the Mount Agamenticus region of southern Maine, founded in 1999 by Dan and Kate Gardoqui, and Matt Wild, to bring the healing power of nature to people of all ages. With their small but mighty staff, the founders launched their first youth program, teaching a handful of home-schooled children on Trish and James Taylor‚Äôs farm on Frost Hill in York. On weekends, the team lead adult tracking workshops in the mountains and along the seacoast. The founders worked tirelessly at growing the young organization and became a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt
non-profit in 2004. For many years, White Pine operated out of Dan and Kate’s home and land in Cape Neddick. Known as Wood Frog Hollow, the Gardoquis graciously shared their land with thousands of children and adults over the course of two amazing decades. During this time, Ecologists Joan and David Ehrenfeld made numerous major gifts that allowed White Pine Programs to thrive. In 2019, Campbell was hired to lead the organization while Dan, Kate, and Matt moved on to new chapters of their careers. Programs now happen in partnership with various land holders: the Zacharias family, Town of York, Southeast Land Trust, Kittery Land Trust, and York Land Trust. The people of White Pine continue to be grateful for their founders, volunteers, and supporters. More information can be found at www.whitepineprograms.org.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Local Award-Winning Artists at Painting Event SEACOAST Don’t be surprised if you’re walking in Cape Elizabeth over the weekend of August 13-15 – at Robinson Woods, on the beach at Kettle Cove, or buying flowers at Ocean House Farm – and you bump into someone with an easel and palette and maybe an umbrella. It will most likely be one of the 31 award-winning plein air artists who are painting in this year’s Artists Weekend, the kick-off to the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust’s 14th Annual Paint for Preservation art auction. The auction has become one of Maine’s premier art auctions and is a favorite of many plein air artists from Maine and beyond. These artists were selected by juror Ruth Greene McNally from a large roster of applicants to paint over three days – Friday to Sunday – at locations that highlight Cape’s natural, iconic beauty – shore lands, marshes, farms, fields and woodlands. The resulting paintings will be available to view in person at Turkey Hill Farm in Cape Elizabeth (by appointment) on the weekend of August 28-29, and for sale by auction online that same weekend. All artists donate a portion of art sales to support the land conservation, trail construction and mainte-
nance, and school education programs of the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust. The public is welcome and

Caleb Cole Exhibits at Brick Store Museum
KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum’s contemporary exhibition space, the Bauman Family Gallery, welcomes multi-disciplinary artist Caleb Cole for their exhibit titled “Remains.” The exhibit features a mixture of artforms, including photography, found pieces, textile design and more. The show runs through September 17. This exhibition brings together over a decade of Cole’s work that focuses on connection, community, and memory, spanning themes as broad as group belonging, military service, violence against transpeople, and collective cultural losses from the AIDS epidemic. Cole’s art centers that which is unknowable about the people and events of the past, not only to mourn and bear witness to those losses, but in an attempt to provide for who and what
remains. Caleb Cole is a Midwestborn, Boston-based artist whose work addresses the opportunities and difficulties of belonging, as well as aims to be a link in the creation of that tradition, no matter how fragile or ephemeral or impossible its connections. They were recently an inaugural resident at Surf Point Residency in York, Maine; and

“The Benches Writing Contest” Celebrates New Benches in Eliot ELIOT The Eliot Aging In Place (AIP) Committee recently announced “The Benches Writing Contest” to celebrate the five new public benches the committee installed at the Eliot Boat Basin and the two new benches that will be installed at the William Fogg Library. There is no fee to enter the contest. Eliot residents ages 8-108 are invited to submit a poem, short story, or essay with a public bench as a central component. Winners will be announced at the Eliot Fall Festival on September 25. One winner in each of five age categories (ages 8-10, 11-13, 14-17, 19-49, and 50-108) will be awarded a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble. Written entry should be no more than 800 words. Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, September 21 at 5 p.m. Entrants must include their name, age, and contact information on their submission. Submissions may be emailed to aip@eliotme.org or dropped in the blue AIP drop box at Eliot’s Fogg Library. Contest judges include AIP members and local writers. There is a coloring page for children of all ages to complete and bring to the AIP booth at Eliot Fall Festival on Saturday,
September 25 to be displayed. The coloring page is available at William Fogg Library or by emailing aip@eliotme.org. There is no prize for the coloring page. The Writing Contest caps the Aging In Place Committee’s project to install benches in places around town where the public, especially older residents, may enjoy the view and rest while walking. AIP secured grants from the AARP 2020 Challenge Grant and the Maine Community Fund to pay for the cost of the benches. The Town of Eliot’s Community Service Department, Department of Public Works, and Garden Club and many volunteers helped make the benches project a reality.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Maine Preservation Announces Launch of Drive ME Historic Tours STATEWIDE - Maine Preservation is excited to announce the launch of Drive ME Historic Tours in commemoration of Maine’s bicentennial. Ranging from 30 minutes to four hours, the interactive tours highlight historic homes and places that existed when Maine established statehood in 1820. The maps share Maine’s way of life 200 years ago by telling the stories of those who lived and worked here and how these places played an important role in forming Maine’s cultural identity. “We advocate statewide, deploying preservation as a tool for economic development and community revitalization, because historic buildings are not only important to our cultural heritage; they are a valuable investment in our future,” says Tara Kelly, Executive Director of Maine Preservation. In partnership with the Maine Office of Tourism and the Maine Bicentennial Commission, Maine Preservation has created 26 tours throughout many of Maine’s eight regions including Downeast and Acadia, Greater Portland and Casco Bay, Kennebec and Moose River Valley, Maine Lakes and Mountains, Mid-Coast, Southern Maine, and the Maine Highlands. Participants are encouraged to share their tour experiences via a submission form on the Maine Preservation website. All tours and forms can be found at www. mainepreservation.org/tours-1. “As we reflect on 201 years of statehood, we are pleased to support these tours that pinpoint buildings and sites that help us understand the history of this place
we call Maine,” said Bicentennial Commission Chairman Senator Bill Diamond. “We encourage Mainers and visitors alike to take one or more of these drives and experience a connection to the people and events that made us who we are today.” “Maine’s historic buildings create a visible link to our past and are an important asset for cultural tourism in Maine. The new “Drive ME: Historic Tours” provide an accessible way for visitors and residents alike to connect with Maine’s heritage and the people and places that make Maine special,” said Steve Lyons, director of the Maine Office of Tourism. Due to the pandemic, many celebrations were postponed until 2021. The tours will now be available on the Maine Preservation website through this year. Maine Preservation is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit member-based historic preservation organization that promotes and preserves historic places, buildings, downtowns and neighborhoods, strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities.

PNSY Delivers Sub on Time for Fleet Operations
KITTERY The USS Newport News (SSN 750) returned to its homeport of Naval Submarine Base New London recently after conducting routine operations made possible by a successful maintenance availability delivered on time to support fleet operations by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY). Starting in October 2020, approximately 400 PNSY employees demonstrated their com-
mitment and dedication by relocating to Connecticut to execute this mission. Partnering alongside ship’s force, the team overcame an array of obstacles, including the pandemic and weather related base closures, that made Newport News’s overhaul one of the most challenging in recent history. Newport News Project Superintendent Ray Mondor applauded his team and the ship’s crew for their superb accomplishment. “Getting the job done
while facing a number of outside challenges took everyone’s positive attitude, dedication, and tireless effort to push through,” said Mondor. “The ship’s captain, Cmdr. David Fassel, and his seasoned crew blended very well with our skilled workforce.” The teamwork and trust between the two groups was evident to all who witnessed this relationship. “Throughout the availability, the team never faltered, no
matter the obstacle,” said Commander PNSY, Capt. Daniel Ettlich. “This is another big win for PNS, and I am very proud of the project team for their perseverance. The ownership displayed
by the project team is remarkable. They leaned in and completed this maintenance availability with grit and determination.” Photo credit: U.S. Navy, by John Narewski / Released.
~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, I’m using Microsoft Excel. I have two questions. 1) Can Excel take a segment of time (1:35-2:00) and convert it into minutes (25)? 2) Can Excel total a column of minutes and convert that into hours & minutes? I have learned how to add numbers in Excel and that’s about it. Please explain how to do these if they are possible. Thanks, Colleen Dear Colleen, Yes, Excel can do both of these tasks (Microsoft Excel is
really a very powerful program). For your first question, you would need a column with a start time, then a column with an end time. To figure out the amount of time between the two, you would create a formula subtracting the end time from the start time. When you type the time in the start and end columns, you would type the time (8:15 for example) then a space and either the letter a for AM or the letter p for p.m. When you get to the column that would calculate the amount of time, you would

create a formula something like this: =E5-D5 This formula would take the time in cell E5 (your end time) and subtract it from the time in D5 (your start time). Your second question is just as easy. All you have to do is let Excel know that you are entering units of time, and add them just like normal. Excel will automatically combine minutes into hours and minutes. Lets say you want to enter 25 minutes for your first amount of time, you would use the following format: 0:25 that stands for zero hours and 25 minutes. Enter all your times using that format. For the total, just use the same formula as you would use for adding numbers and Excel will automatically give you the number of hours and minutes. If there are more than 24 hours in your total, you will have to change the format of the cell to [h]:mm. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have Window 10, that I keep updated regularly. I have Avast AV. This latest win 10 update will not ‘take’ because “some apps need to be uninstalled’, and shows Avira AV. I can find absolutely no trace of it in my files, or in add/remove. I have no knowledge of ever installing it, either. Had AVG prior to Avast. What to do? Enjoy your
column. You are the best, Rae Dear Rae, I have seen this issue a couple of times recently, and been able to fix it. What you need to do is find any folders on your computer that have the word “Avira” in the name and either rename or delete them. You might find the folder or folders in your program files, but I have also found them in random places like a backup from an older computer. The easiest way to find them folder or folders is to go the Windows Explorer, click on “This PC” in the left column, then in the search box type, Avira and let Windows search for the files and folders. It will probably take a while, but so far I have been able to fix this error message by searching for and removing old Avira folders. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I am a Yahoo mail user and now am asked to agree to their Oath TOS, which seem to allow them to look at everything on my e-mail, gather billing and payment information, track where I go and what I look at whether or not I am “on” Yahoo and pass along my information to their “trusted” affiliates.

sive terms? If I don’t agree to the new terms, do you know if I can continue to use e-mail under existing I believe they call it legacy terms? Thanks, Diane Dear Diane, I don’t believe there is a free email provider that does not use the contents of your email messages to provide advertising that you might be interested in. If they did not have a way to earn an income with advertising, there would be no point in providing the free email accounts to the public. Everyone has to make a living somehow. I also am pretty sure that your legacy TOS with yahoo includes the same invasive terms, but it really doesn’t matter because the company has made it clear that if you do not accept the new TOS, then you will need to find another email company. The only way you are going to keep your email private is to purchase a domain and purchase email hosting to go along with it. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Every time I turn on my computer Google loads up. When I change to another web site Google loads again. How do I get rid of Google, it slows things down. Many thanks for answering my questions in the past. John Dear John, What you are describing is not normal behavior for a web browser, so we will have to do a little investigating to figure out what is triggering the behavior. My first question would be what web browser are you using? It could be Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox or Edge. Whatever the browser, you will need to go into the settings and look at the add-ons, plugins or extensions that are installed. Remove any that look like they might be causing the problem. If that doesn’t help, use your security software to run a full malware scan. It is possible you have some advertising software installed. If that doesn’t solve the problem, you will probably need to bring it into your local computer repair shop to have them troubleshoot and fix the problem. Elizabeth

FINANCE & CAREER TF Scholarship to Wells Resident Receives George Aid WHS Graduate J. Mitchell Peace Scholarship
WELLS The Tramuto Foundation (TF), a non-profit organization that was founded nearly 20 years ago by author and philanthropist Donato Tramuto, has granted a two-year, $10,000 scholarship to a young lady described as a resilient and compassionate member of the Wells High School (WHS) Class of 2021. Kaitlyn Rose Kenyon, who will continue her education in the culinary arts, received the 2021 Tramuto Foundation Scholarship and Mentoring award during the June 6 WHS commencement. Each year the TF provides scholarships to one member of the senior class at Wells High School and Bangor High School who have succeeded in the face of adversity to achieve personal excellence. The TF scholars are selected based on their ability, efforts and the determination to contend with or overcome the challenges they have faced. Scholarship, community service, school activities, character, leadership qualities and demonstrated financial need are also considered. In addition to the scholarship, each student is paired with a mentor from the TF’s board of directors. These mentors are tasked with providing the student with guidance and support throughout the student’s college years. The relationships TF scholars establish with their mentors help develop connections and networks necessary for the students to meet their ultimate career goals beyond college. Kenyon, who discovered her talent and passion for cooking and baking as a part-time student at the Sanford Regional Technical Center, will continue her education for the next two years as a culinary arts major at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in South Carolina. Kenyon said that attending culinary classes at SRTC in her junior and senior years allowed her to realize “that there is so much more that I can do in my life.” She added,” I know that I am stronger than I once thought. I may learn a little differently, but I’m smart and I know that if I focus on what is really important, I will be successful in my life.” One of Kenyon’s teachers at WHS, Melissa McCormack, noted that her former student “has a kind heart and a resiliency that I have admired since we first met; her vibrant spirit and friendly smile will add
energy and positivity to any community.” She said that Kenyon’s interest in culinary arts “became apparent in her sophomore year when she began to bake desserts for a group of students that met together during lunch each week. It is with pride that I have watched Kaitlyn’s independence and confidence grow, and I am eager to see where this path takes her.” “The Tramuto Foundation is thrilled to present this scholarship to Kaitlyn. She is truly
WELLS University of Maine sophomore Grace Bradish of Wells, will study engineering in Ireland with a George J. Mitchell Peace Scholarship. The merit-based scholarship allows recipients to participate in semester-long student exchanges at the University College Cork, provides funds for 12–15 credits of study, housing and meal and airfare stipends. UMaine partnered with UCC to create the scholarship, and it honors the 1998 Northern Ireland peace accord brokered by
Sen. Mitchell between Ireland and the United Kingdom. The award is granted annually to a UMaine student with high academic achievement, leadership skills, commitment to community service and the ability to promote the scholarship to the academic and wider community. Bradish, an Honors College student studying civil engineering, says she plans to enroll in major-required courses and those that teach her more about Ireland, including possibly one about Gaelic. Learning
a shining example of someone who has faced difficulties and challenges in her life, but allowed those tough experiences to make her stronger, yet more compassionate to everyone around her,” said Tramuto, who founded the Tramuto Foundation in honor of his two friends and their young son who perished on Flight 175
on September 11, 2001. “We need more people like Kaitlyn, who are kind and giving and talented and determined to make this world more just and fair for all. I can’t wait to see what she does in the future. I have no doubt that Kaitlyn’s confidence and compassion will take her to great places. I wish her much success and happiness.”
HOMED Act Signed Into Law
AUGUSTA A bill from Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, that looks to reduce student debt and help young Mainers compete in a tough housing market was signed into law by Governor Janet T. Mills on Tuesday. LD 1709, “An Act To Promote Home Ownership by Minimizing Education Debt,” otherwise known as the HOMED Act, will create a program to incentivize young Mainers to settle in Maine, whether a person was born here or chose to make Maine their home. “This is a big win for young people who dream of purchasing a home for their family but are saddled by student debt and cannot compete with outof-state bidders purchasing their second home. With this program, we can improve homeownership through student debt relief and ensure we have the workers we need to power our communities and economy for
generations to come,” said President Jackson. “I’m hopeful that this new law will make it easier for young people to make Maine their home whether they’re Mainers by birth or by choice.” The HOMED Act seeks to address two challenges preventing Maine from attracting and retain young people: the cost of post-secondary education, whether it’s a two-year community college program or a four-year program, which leaves many adults with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt; and the out-of-control housing market, which continues to push the dream of homeownership further out of reach. The bill directs the Maine State Housing Authority, in consultation with the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME), to research and design a program that helps people get into homes by helping to reduce student debt. Both MSHA and FAME would then report back
to the Legislature in January so the Innovation, Development, Economic Advancement and Business Committee can report out a bill to get this program off the ground. In Maine, the average student graduates with $33,500 in student debt. LD 1709 is modeled after a Maryland program designed to improve homeownership through student debt reduction.
new tactics and concepts “can only serve to better my understanding of engineering,” Bradish says. “Studying abroad while studying engineering is interesting because much of engineering is working within the constraints of the environment,” she says. “For example, the U.S. generally has plenty of space for infrastructure while Ireland is generally compacted.” Bradish’s application was supported by the Office of International Programs, the Office of Major Scholarships, professor of civil engineering Shaleen Jain, faculty members who wrote recommendation letters, and by the selection committee. “We are very pleased that Grace Bradish was selected as the recipient of this scholarship,” says Orlina Boteva, director of the Office of International Programs. “Grace is very mature and has a genuine eagerness to enhance her intercultural skills and global knowledge by studying abroad in Ireland. She will be a great representative of UMaine at the University College Cork.”

New Stamps Shine Light on Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses
STATEWIDE Lighthouses, with their beauty, mystery and aura of romance, have fascinated and enchanted people for centuries. The Postal Service continues to share in that tradition with Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses Forever stamps, the latest in its continuing series of popular lighthouse stamps. For three centuries, the beacons of America’s lighthouses have been guiding mariners through treacherous waters.
Though the five mid-Atlantic lighthouses being recognized have a common purpose, each has its own unique story — and its own mysterious, eternal appeal. Authorized by George Washington and completed in 1796, Montauk Point Lighthouse (New York) is one of the oldest lights in continuous operation in the United States. Navesink (New Jersey) is one of only seven stations in the country to feature two light-
house towers. The tower of the Eric Harbor Pierhead Light (Pennsylvania) tapers from its base to its midsection, then rises straight from there to the top, the only lighthouse tower with this shape in the United States. Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse (Delaware) has stood within the breakwater since 1926 and is still an active aid to navigation. And located in the Chesa-
peake Bay (Mar yland), the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse has withstood the elements since 1875. The Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses stamps are being issued as Forever stamps. These Forever stamps are always equal in value
to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. Customers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through the Postal Store at www.usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-737-7826, or at Post Office locations nationwide.

4} Bake the pie at 400 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cover the edges of the pie with tin foil for the last 20 minutes to prevent over browning if needed. 5} if you’re using a pie crust top or lattice pie crust top, use a pastry brush and paint with a bit of milk and sprinkle crust with a bit of white sugar for a bit more sweetness before cooking. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve with a big scoop of Vanilla Ice-cream. Enjoy!

Health & Fitness Health Care Workers Required To Be Fully Vaccinated By October 1
AUGUSTA The Mills Administration announced today that it will require health care workers in Maine to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect the health and lives of Maine people, safeguard Maine’s health care capacity, and limit the spread of the virus. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC), utilizing their authority under existing law to require certain vaccinations of people who work in health care settings, issued an emergency rule that will require health care workers to be fully vaccinated by October 1. This timeframe provides health care workers the next five weeks to receive their needed shots. Health care workers are defined as including any individual employed by a hospital, multi-level health care facility, home health agency, nursing facility, residential care facility, and intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities that is licensed by the State of Maine. The emergency rule also requires those employed by emergency medical service organizations or dental practices to be vacci-
nated for COVID-19. With this move, Maine becomes one of the most aggressive states in the nation in requiring vaccination of health care workers, both in terms of the scope of health care workers and timeframe for vaccination. “Vaccinations are the best tool we have to protect the lives and livelihoods of Maine people and to curb this pandemic,” said Governor Mills. “Health care workers perform a critical role in protecting the health of Maine people, and it is imperative that they take every precaution against this dangerous virus, especially given the threat of the highly transmissible Delta variant. With this requirement, we are protecting health care workers, their patients, including our most vulnerable, and our health care capacity. I continue to strongly urge all Maine people to get vaccinated because doing so may save your life, the life of a family member or friend, or the life of a child not yet eligible for a vaccine.” “Scientific data show that vaccination is our best protection against all strains of the virus that causes COVID-19,” said Nirav D. Shah, Director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. “Given the elevated risk posed by the Delta

variant, this is a prudent step in preventing COVID-19 from putting more Maine people at risk, especially those who care for others.” The State of Maine has long required the immunization of employees of designated health care facilities to reduce the risk of exposure to, and possible transmission of, vaccine-preventable diseases. These immunizations include measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis B, and influenza. This existing rule has been amended to include the COVID-19 vaccine. The organizations to which this requirement applies must ensure that each employee is vaccinated, with this requirement being enforced as a condi-
tion of the facilities’ licensure. According to a mandated survey of health care settings by the Department of Health and Human Services, 80.3 percent of staff at hospitals, 73 percent of staff at nursing facilities, and 68.2 percent of staff at intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The move was welcomed by a broad coalition of health care providers across Maine, including Maine Hospital Association, Maine Medical Association, Maine Primary Care Association, and Maine Health Care Association, along with the state’s two largest health systems, MaineHealth and North-
Safe Haven Baby Box Bill Becomes Law AUGUSTA A new law will help promote safe options for surrendering unwanted newborns. Sponsored by Rep. Patrick Corey (R-Windham), LD 560, “An Act To Amend the Safe Haven Laws,” the new law amends the safe haven laws regarding abandoned children to include a safe haven baby box to the list of safe havens that a person may deliver a newborn child to. Abandoning a baby is illegal. Safe haven laws decriminalize the act, but only if a baby is passed into “safe hands,” designated by law, typically in the first couple of days
of its life. A safe haven baby box is a device or container that can safely accept delivery of a newborn child that is located in a hospital, law enforcement facility or fire department facility that is staffed 24 hours a day by a medical services provider. More information about Safe Haven Baby Boxes is available on their website www.shbb.org. “My interest in adding to the list of safe havens for infant surrender is to provide a reasonable option when other backstops have failed,” said Rep. Corey. “Women should be given safe

opportunities for surrendering unwanted newborns while preserving anonymity. I’d like to thank the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland for bringing me this important bill. Maine now joins eight other states in providing another option for safe surrender to mothers facing a crisis.” “As a child who was abandoned as a newborn and later in life found my birth-mom, I know how important anonymity is for some young parents. I’m excited to launch in one of the New England states as we have all seen the deadly abandonments that are happening in this part of the country,” said Monica Kelsey, Founder and CEO of Safe Haven Baby Boxes. The Department of Health and Human Services will now adopt rules governing the design, installation and use of safe haven baby boxes to ensure necessary safety specifications are met. These include an alarm that alerts both the facility where the safe haven baby box is located and a public safety answering point for when a baby has been placed inside.

Health & Fitness Five Tips To Keep Mosquitoes Away Summer is here which means so are mosquitoes! The flying pests invade neighborhoods like an army, but they aren’t just a backyard nuisance with bites that itch. They also can carry dangerous diseases, including West Nile virus and Zika. Most regions of the U.S. have issues with mosquitoes, but knowing prevention and mitigation measures can stop them from mushrooming into a big problem, says Dr. Craig Stoops (www.mosquito-authority.com), a retired U.S. Navy medical entomologist and chief science officer at Mosquito® Authority, a mosquito control company. “People are unfortunately attractive to mosquitoes,” Dr. Stoops says, “but there are numerous ways we can avoid the irritation and the potential danger of a bite. So much has to do with preparing your property and knowing how mosquitoes thrive. “Some people are more susceptible to bites than others. Mosquitoes can be attracted to different chemicals found in human skin. But just because mosquitoes are an inevitable part of summer doesn’t mean you’re defenseless.” Dr. Stoops offers five tips on reducing the appearance of mosquitoes and their bites: Consider a professional service. Sometimes people prefer to do it themselves when it comes to fixing home issues, but they later find that a persistent problem is often better left to trained professionals. “Companies that specialize in mosquito control can effectively address the problem by implementing an entire program over a period of time, including follow-ups,” Dr. Stoops says. Get rid of standing water. Still water is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Common places of standing water include: clogged drain gutters, corrugated drain pipes, bird baths, pet bowls, planters, trash and recycling bins, children’s toys, and kiddie pools. Dr. Stoops says. “A mosquito needs only about a tablespoon of water to lay eggs.” Use safe repellents. Repellents registered by the Environmental Protection Agency have been reviewed and approved to pose minimal risk when used properly. “Some of the most effective ingredients commonly referred to in a repellent are DEET, Picaridan, and oil of lemon eucalyptus,” Dr. Stoops says. EPA-approved repellents provide up to two
hours of protection. Dress appropriately. “Studies have shown that some mosquitoes are more attracted to dark clothing,” Dr. Stoops says. “Avoid wearing lightweight, thin materials, which mosquitoes can bite right through. Instead, opt for tightly woven materials, like cotton, denim, nylon, or windbreaker-type materials, which are more difficult for the bugs to penetrate.” Keep your landscape clean. “Trimmed trees and shrubs improve a property’s air circulation,” Dr. Stoops says. “The increased air flow will physically push mosquitoes out of that area and remove the environment they thrive in. Also, there are some gardening choices that can deter mosquitoes: basil, lavender, and catnip are all plants that mosquitoes don’t like.” The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.
Nearly $850,000 for Youth Suicide Prevention Programs WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that the Maine Comprehensive Suicide Project has received a total of $849,000 to support youth suicide prevention programs in Maine. This funding was awarded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention & Control. “Suicide is a leading cause of death among Maine youth, and this heartbreak has affected far too many families. The pandemic and its consequences, such as social isolation, have only exacerbated mental health issues,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This critical funding will help our state build and strengthen suicide prevention programs. We will continue to work to provide the resources needed to help prevent these tragedies.” According to a recent analy-
sis by the CDC, suicide attempts among adolescents increased significantly during the pandemic, particularly among teen girls. A

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.

Serving the entire Seacoast and beyond
Norman grew up in Kittery and started his career at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. His New England roots cultivated his love for Flo’s Dogs, lobster dinners and maybe a beer or two. An avid reader, Norman’s Stephen King collection could rival that in a library. He was also a devoted New England sports fan, especially the Red Sox and Patriots, but was known to show his support for the hometown Jacksonville Jaguars when he could watch them on local TV. You could also catch him watching reruns of The Three Stooges and MASH in his down time. Norman was active in his grandson William’s life and especially enjoyed watching him learn to play Chess. He valued the time they spent on their daily rituals, such as rides to school and helping with his homework. Norman was predeceased by his loving parents, Simone and Hervey Boissonneault. He is survived by his wife, Wendy Boissonneault; sister Diane Boissonneault; daughters, Ryann Edwards and Erin St. Hilaire; stepchildren, Tina Pafford and BJ Pafford; grandchildren William Williams, Makalya Broughman, Adalynn and Evelynn Edwards, Aiyla and Jack St. Hilaire, and Kyle and Caleigh Pafford.

Another Chance Animal Rescue NORTH BERWICK This three-year-old cat is named Princess and she’s putting her foot down and demanding to be treated as one! She came to the shelter with her three kittens a couple of months ago. The kittens have been adopted and now it’s all about her (she has spayed). Princess is full of “cattitude” and will make a great addition to any household. When you adopt a cat from Another Chance Animal Rescue, you can be confident in knowing that you’ve made a difference in the life of a homeless animal. Our animals are fully vetted, up to date on immunizations and are spayed or neutered before they go with you.

Spunky’s past, but estimate her age at two-four years. She is very friendly and dear and craves affection, so we doubt she endured much neglect or abuse while a kitten. She arrived at Safe Haven and was pleasant from the start. Our volunteers adore her. She
is ready for adoption to a very lucky person or family who is looking for a sweet, trusting, affectionate family member. Spunky is a lovely, healthy girl with a short black and white coat. To find out more about this darling kitty, please contact our shelter at 207-646-1611, or fill out an adoption application on our website.

Lorraine Syvinski, 92 SOUTH BERWICK – Lorraine Syvinski of South Berwick passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, August 9, 2021, surrounded by the love of her family in the home where she was well-cared for by her family.
Lorraine was born in South Berwick to J. Albert and Mary Helen Michaud, where she continued to live her entire life. She grew up with her siblings appreciating the blessings of family and learning the values of an impeccable work ethic. After graduating from Saint Joseph’s Academy, Lorraine worked as a secretary at Bracket and Shaw in Berwick where she met the love of her life. In 1950, Lorraine married William Syvinski, fondly referred to by her family as a “gentle giant”. Together Lorraine and William welcomed into the world four beautiful, healthy, and exuberant children. Together, while raising their children, Lorraine and William built their business “Motor Equipment Service”. William ran the shop, while Lorraine meticulously maintained bookkeeping records, ran errands, and picked up parts for the business. In addition to raising a family and helping to run a business, she found time to enjoy canning and freezing the bountiful yields of our massive gardens. Mom was a great cook, and loved to bake; always cooking massive quantities for
each meal with the explanation that there’d be extra in case we had company, which was often the case. She loved putting on huge holiday meals for family and friends. We still can’t figure out how she managed to fit so many people around the dining room table. Mom wasn’t one aspiring to travel the world; she was a home body, cherishing time with family and friends. She loved gardening, whether growing vegetables or flowers, she enjoyed being in the fresh air, nurturing and watching the plants grow. One year, she planted pumpkins and carved each grandchild’s name into them with the intention of giving each child a pumpkin; that is until the deer found them. Mom inherited the talents of knitting, crocheting and sewing from her mother, which she enjoyed when time permitted. The art of sewing took on a unique terminology thanks to her oldest son Michael. One day he needed something mended, but rather than asking mom to sew it, he asked her if she could weld it; from then on, mending was referred to as welding.
Mom was an animal lover, further enhanced from the times her son Alan brought home baby birds or squirrels saying “they fell out of their nest” to the time when Dad practiced Yankee bartering to acquire a yellow lab pup, brought into the house by son Michael with Alan, Helen and Theresa in unison convincing to keep him. Mom wasn’t big in stature, yet she had a huge caring heart and lived her life with much humility. She lived and walked her life by faith, one of her favorite sayings was ‘pray, hope and don’t worry’. Lorraine was predeceased by her one and only true love, her soul mate and devoted husband William Syvinski; her first born son Michael Syvinski; her parents and brothers Renald, George, and Maurice Michaud. She is survived by her loving family: sisters Rita Mick-Fuller and Pauline Varieur; son Alan Syvinski (Bonnie); daughter-inlaw Marcia Syvinski; daughters, Helen Maddox (Christopher) and Theresa Syvinski; grandchildren, Paula Renaud (Billy), Jessica Morley (Christopher), Valerie Currier (Chad), Chris-
topher Syvinski, Cory Syvinski (Jenn), and Jason Maddox; 11 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom, we already miss you terribly, you will forever remain in our hearts. With all our love always, the entire family says one more ‘so long until we meet again’. Family flowers only please. Mom loved watching the wildlife around her home, therefore we ask in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her memory to a local, no-kill, animal shelter or a charity of one’s choice. Calling hours will be held on Monday, August 23, 9-10:30 a.m. at the McIntire-McCooey Funeral Home, 301 Main Street, South Berwick, immediately followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at Our Lady of the Angels, 162 Agamenticus Road, South Berwick, with internment to follow at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Rollinsford, NH. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Please go to www. mcintiremccooey.com to sign the online guest book. • • • • • • • • • • See ZARECKI page 28...

Kennebunk Savings' North Berwick Branch Celebrates 50 Years NORTH BERWICK Kennebunk Savings is celebrating their 150th anniversary this year, but one of their branches is also hitting a significant milestone of its own. The North Berwick branch turns 50 this month. Located on Main Street, the bank’s North Berwick location opened in 1971 at the start of the community bank’s expansion after 100 years in Kennebunk. “The North Berwick community is very important to us because it’s one of the very first branches we opened,” said Bradford C. Paige, the bank’s President and CEO. “It was a key decision at the time that has since
evolved into the bank’s current footprint of 17 branches in York County Maine and seacoast New Hampshire. Our North Berwick opening signaled the start of the widening of our Kennebunk Savings community.” The bank has commemorated their sesquicentennial with a traveling road show of sorts, with each of their branches celebrating for a week at a time with prizes, raffles, and more. “We couldn’t plan one big party, so we decided to stretch it out as long as possible,” Paige explained. “A small, mobile party. It’s been a lot of fun so far, and it’s going to be extra special to celebrate in North Berwick.”

Center for Grieving Children is Winner of Red Sox Grants BOSTON The Center for Grieving Children received the $10,000 first-place award in Maine as part of the 7th Annual IMPACT Awards, a joint initiative of the Red Sox Foundation and the Ruderman Family Foundation which this year focused on supporting organizations whose mission includes raising awareness on the issue of mental health and improving mental health outcomes of young adults in their community. One of 18 winners across six states in New England, The Center for Grieving Children serves more than 4,000 grieving children, teens, families, and young adults annually through peer support, outreach, and education. Since its founding in 1987, the Portland-based Center
has served more than 66,000 children, teens, and their families. The IMPACT Awards give Red Sox fans the opportunity to nominate their favorite non-profits to receive support and funding. Through a $125,000 grant from the Ruderman Family Foundation, the awards provide the winning non-profits with either a first-place $10,000 grant, second-place $3,000 grant, or a third-place $2,000 grant. Eligible organizations with the most online votes from fans were the designated winners, with three non-profits selected from each New England state. The second-place winner in Maine is NAMI Maine, an education and advocacy non-profit dedicated to building better lives for the 1 in 4 Mainers who are affected by mental illness, and the third-
place winner is Acadia Hospital, an acute care, short-stay psychiatric hospital providing a full continuum of mental and behavioral health services for children, teens, and adults. “The Center for Grieving Children provides a safe space, loving peer support, outreach, and education to grieving children, teens, families and the community across southern Maine. We are so grateful that The Red Sox Foundation and the Ruderman Family Foundation places such emphasis on improving the mental health of young adults across New England communities, and are thrilled to be this year’s Maine recipient. Such generous community support allows for Center services to See CENTER page 30...

Rev. Steven A. Zarecki, 71 WELLS – Reverend Steven A. Zarecki entered the Church triumphant on August 10, 2021 after a swift but courageous battle with cancer. Steven was a kind and selfless man, dedicated to ministering to those who needed it and devoted beyond measure to his family and friends.

shared his boundless capacity to love with everyone he met. He was born on July 21, 1950 to Dr. Peter S. Zarecki and Elizabeth Zarecki née Lundgren. He met his cherished wife of 50 years, Marcia, in 1971 and they married in 1972. In 1976 he accepted the call to the ministry and served the people of rural Maine and eastern Massachusetts for 25 years as a pastor, elder, and deacon in the United Methodist Church. After retiring from the ministry, he began a second career at Aubuchon Hardware, where he continued his ministry through paint and plumbing as well as counseling anyone who sought his guidance. He was a graduate of both the University of Maine at Machias and Bangor Theological Seminary. Steve joins his father and mother in Heaven.

A Victory for Vulnerable Users, LD 821 Passes Maine Senate and House
AUGUSTA -
Maine lawmakers have stepped up to protect pedestrians and people on bikes by passing LD 821, “An Act To Improve the Investigation and Prosecution of Cases That Involve Vulnerable Road Users” in the Senate and House. “Vulnerable users who have been killed, injured, or endangered by motorists deserve ...COACH from page 1 Nate Hager and Arlen Galloway, who allowed me to gain valuable experience while being a part of their basketball programs. I am excited by the infinite potential that Curry offers and cannot wait to get to work with our student-athletes.” Alibrandi was a four-year varsity standout on the Regis College men’s basketball team, and served as team captain during his sophomore, junior, and senior year. He is among the select few student-athletes to reach 1,000 career points with the Pride, and is ranked in the top ten in scoring, rebounding, and assists in program history. A York native, Alibrandi graduated from Regis in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and earned a Master of Science degree in Health Administration in 2014, also at Regis.
to have a full investigation into the cause of the crash,” said Bicycle Coalition of Maine Executive Director Jean Sideris. “This new law is a big step forward in Maine, and it could have national implications.” LD 821 requires that law enforcement officers investigating reportable crashes involving vulnerable user who believe there may be probable cause that a criminal or civil violation has occurred to inform a district attorney of relevant jurisdiction about the investigation, and any evidence relevant to the potential prosecution of an alleged criminal violation resulting from the investigation as soon as possible after the incident. The Bicycle Coalition of Maine notes there are often no legal repercussions for drivers who injure or kill pedestrians and cyclists. The non-profit hopes this new law and its investigations will achieve more justice for victims of road violence. The bill was sponsored by Senator Mattie Daughtry (DBrunswick), supported by Cumberland County District Attorney Jonathan Sahrbeck, Sheriff Kevin Joyce, and a majority of District Attorneys in the state, and was developed in partnership with the Maine State Police. “This bill is personal to me, especially with the increasing number of crashes involv-
ing vulnerable users around my community and our state,” said Daughtry. “It’s important that as we encourage more people to walk or cycle to get around, we make sure they’re safe while sharing the road with cars and trucks. This bill takes an impor...CENTER from page 27 remain no cost to families, for as long as they are needed,” said Beth Quinlan, Volunteer Coordinator at The Center for Grieving Children. The winners were recognized in a pregame ceremony at Fenway Park, receiving their awards on the field alongside Ruderman Family Foundation President Jay Ruderman and Sharon Shapiro, Trustee and Community Liaison for the Foundation. With COVID-19 continuing to strain non-profits across New England, the awards supported the work of organizations that are addressing the pandemic’s vast effect on
tant step to help protect cyclists and pedestrians.” “This is a huge victory for vulnerable users and something all Mainers who believe in sharing our roads can celebrate,” Sideris added. The Bicycle Coalition of
Maine is the statewide voice of cyclists and pedestrians. Since 1992, the BCM has led the effort to make Maine better for bicycling and walking by protecting the rights and safety of cyclists and pedestrians through education, advocacy, legislation, and encouragement.
