York Family’s Inspirational Story Becomes National News By Pat Sommers Staff Columnist YORK – Sharon and Michael Durkin felt as if they were living a bad dream in 2006 when son Jason, then 18, was diagnosed with a rare disorder that affects the blood and bone marrow. That bad dream became a recurring nightmare for the York parents. Doctors subsequently discovered that their younger son, Chris, was suffering from the same condition, myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS. He was 15. Then, in 2009, daughter Lauren, now a senior at York High School, received the same

ment of several countries from all over Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In fact, Mark Powers, director of admissions, is so busy flying around the world on recruiting trips that TA has added an admissions associate to help with the workload. Thornton just hired Abigail Swardlick, who will be “helping out to expand our reach worldwide,” said Powers. “Her first trip is to Latin America this fall.” The program, which started with forty students, has
grown each year. “There will be 136 students (this year) on campus in our dorms or in our Homestay program,” Powers said this week. “They hail from sixteen countries, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Spain, and Brazil.” Powers’ job requires him to fly around world, learning about other cultures and sharing the See GLOBAL page 38...

America” television program. Robin Roberts, an anchor for the popular morning show who successfully battled breast cancer five years ago, announced recently that she has MDS. The disorder, she said, was triggered by her cancer treatment. In MDS, the blood marrow does not make enough normal blood cells for the body. Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets may all be affected, and the course of the disease is different for each of the 10,000 to 15,000 Americans who are diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes annually. Though MDS can affect people of any age, at least 80 per-
cent of all cases occur in people over 60, making the case of the Durkin siblings more startling. The disorder is more common in men than women. In reporting on Roberts’ diagnosis and the upcoming bone marrow transplant that will be part of her treatment for MDS, ABC noted the extreme rarity of the genetic form of the disorder for which Jason, Chris, and Lauren were treated. According to Dr. Inga Hofmann of Dana-Farber/Children’s Hospital Cancer Center, the Boston facility where the Durkin children received treatment, only about 4 in 1 million See DURKIN page 6...
Retired Doctor Hikes Entire Appalachian Trail
Nathan Gagnon met his father, David, at the end of his long journey (courtesy photo)
By Timothy Gillis Staff Columnist SOUTH BERWICK – David Gagnon, a retired family doctor who lives in South Berwick, recently completed a very long journey. He hiked all 2,184 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. He completed the trek in five months, staying at hostels and shelters and camping along the way. His travels were inspired by a gift from his daughter, Nicole, last year, and when giving it to him, she probably had little inclination her present would expand exponentially. “My daughter got me a stay

on Mount Washington for Father’s Day a year ago,” Gagnon said from his home this week, recuperating and planning his next voyage. “I hiked thirteen miles and felt pretty good, so that planted the seed that I’m not over the hill yet.” Gagnon’s Mount Washington experience solidified his resolve to take the longer trip, so he made plans and departed this past March. He took the “midnight train to Georgia,” said Susan Gagnon, his wife. He rode the Crescent Line, from Boston to New York to Philadelphia, and then on to Gainesville, See HIKE page 29...

~ News ~ Bradford Dutch Receives Boston Post Cane
Bradford Dutch, 98, of North Berwick, is the town’s oldest citizen (courtesy photo)
SAFE SOFT
NORTH BERWICK – On August 22, the family of Bradford Dutch, 98, gathered at his home on Somersworth Road in North Berwick as Brad was presented with the Boston Post Cane as the oldest citizen in North Berwick. Members of the North Berwick Historical Society, selectman Gregg Drew and town manager Dwayne Morin were also on hand when Larry Hart, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, presented Brad with a plaque honoring this accomplishment along with a replica Boston Post Cane. The Town of North Berwick has continued the time-honored tradition established back in 1909 of pre-

senting the Boston Post Cane to the oldest citizen in town. North Berwick presents a replica cane and plaque to the recipient. The original cane is on display in the North Berwick Town Office with the name of the current holder inscribed below the cane. Mr. Dutch became the oldest citizen in North Berwick with the passing of Don Staples on June 3, 2012. Brad also has the distinction of being the first third-generation Boston Post Cane holder with his grandfather and mother being past recipients of the Cane. Brad has been a citizen of North Berwick for the majority of his life, moving here with his parents shortly after he was born in 1913. Always noted for his sharp mind, strength and long memory, he shared some of the stories of the past with his visitors on this special occasion including his remembrance of the troop trains of World War I soldiers and artillery coming through North Berwick and being the person responsible for the first mechanical removal of snow in North Berwick

during the winter of 1942-43. Prior to his utilization of his 1942 Farmall H tractor with a hydraulic scoop, snow removal had been accomplished by hand. Brad was married to Elva Amelia Forbes and Dorothy Elaine Libby Sanborn. Elva and Brad had a son John who passed away within months of his birth in 1935 and one daughter, Patricia. Elva passed away on July 7, 1986. Dorothy and Brad were married in 1949 and they had a daughter Deborah and two sons, Brad Jr. and Timothy. Dorothy passed away just recently. Although Brad had many different jobs off the farm for years, he was always a farmer at heart. He worked two large dairy barns filled with Holstein cows. He continued the farming operation until the mid 1970’s when he joined his brother Earle in the meat business. The Dutch brothers were a source of entertainment for the many that passed through the doors of the meat shop. Stories from the past, not to mention the fine quality of western beef, were a standard bill of fare. Brad’s specialty was fixing crown roasts of pork for customers at Christmas time, and his secret recipe for ground sausage was just that, “a secret.” Brad was known for his strength, but also softness of his heart. Stories of his physical prowess have been told from his youth. With his strength and large hands, he could turn a breeched calf around inside the cow so it could give a normal head first birth. Brad lives in his 250-year-old cape and still welcomes visitors with his thick Yankee accent. Sitting in his comfortable chair, he’ll stick out his large weathered hand that still grips like a vise. Story provided by Dwayne Morin, North Berwick town manager, with many thanks to Dave Dutch, Brad’s nephew, for the information regarding Brad’s life.

New Geology Sign on Ogunquit’s Marginal Way
OGUNQUIT – Dr. Arthur Hussey, professor of Geology at Bowdoin College, is the geology consultant for the
Marginal Way Committee and world-recognized authority on the “Kittery Formation.” For this sign, Hussey created and compiled
graphics and a description of the rocks and structures of the Marginal Way. These exposed rocks record a history spanning nearly a half-billion years of geologic time.
The newly installed interpretive sign was sponsored by the Stillman and Catherine Bradish family. Dating from the 17th century, their family’s once vast farm and woodlands swept down to the sea. The land contained many
small quarries that provided building materials, foundation stones and the source of millstones and grist wheels for local mills. This family history inspired an interest in the geology of Ogunquit. The sign is located near Bench #32.
protect their fragile immune systems from infection. Similarly, Roberts is expected to take a leave of several months from her post on the morning show. Treatment immediately prior to the bone marrow transplants essentially strips the body of all its immunity, Michael Durkin explained. The donor bone marrow is then introduced into the body where it starts to strengthen. “It’s sort of like getting a whole new immune system,” he told The Weekly Sentinel. Lauren Durkin, whose tests for MDS were negative during the two years of her brothers’ treatment and recovery, received a positive result in 2009. When efforts to find a transplant donor match came up empty, she received a blood cord transplant of stem cells. A high
fever and infection at one point severely threatened the teen’s life, but she fought her way through and is ready to resume classes at York High, where she is a member of the varsity hockey team. Durkin said there is really no way to explain how the family handled the fear and anguish they felt during the past six years. “We just took it one day at a time,” he said. “That’s all you can do.” The three children were “very strong” through the entire ordeal, their father added. Comforting to the Durkin family was the response of friends, neighbors and total strangers. “The community of York was absolutely fabulous,” Durkin said, noting that drives to register area residents as potential bone marrow donors for the Durkin children and others in need attracted about 800 people. Both Sharon and Michael Durkin are community minded. They have both been active in sports organizations for children, serving in administrative capacities and assisting in efforts to coach area teams. Their hard work was rewarded in the many events hosted on their behalf during the family’s time of crisis. “Community members were tremendous in their response,” Michael Durkin reiterated. All three Durkin children are “now stable,” according to their father. Jason, approaching his 24th birthday, is an honor graduate of the University of Maine and has launched a career. Chris, 21, is a college sophomore. Lauren, ready to begin her final year at York High, is eying a career as a pediatric oncology nurse. They are all healthy, enthusiastic, and optimistic. And they shared that exuberance this week with ABC’s Roberts, each offering a personal message of encouragement and good wishes as she begins her own fight with MDS.

children in the U.S. are diagnosed with MDS. Having more than one child in a family diagnosed with the disorder is exceedingly rare, she said. Jason was diagnosed after his ice hockey coach noticed the boy seemed to be lagging in tryouts. ”Something just didn’t seem right,” Sharon Durkin told ABC. A trip to the family doctor and subsequent blood tests led to the discovery of MDS. As doctors searched for a matching donor for an urgently needed bone marrow transplant for Jason, they tested his brother. Chris was a perfect donor match, but the tests indicated he also had MDS. Both young men received successful bone marrow transplants in 2007 and, as part of the treatment regimen, both were quarantined for a full year to

~ News ~ 18th Annual Strut Your Mutt to Benefit AWS Sadie Fund KENNEBUNK – Strut Your Mutt, now in its 18th year, is the single largest fundraiser for the Animal Welfare Society. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, September 9, at 11 am on Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk. The event covers a two-mile walk along the beach, and is attended by more than 250 people and their fourfooted companions. Walkers are encouraged to collect pledges from friends, family and coworkers. Again underwritten by Kennebunk Savings Insurance, the event raises much needed funds for the shelter’s animal medical care budget, known as the Sadie Fund. The Fund, named for a Shih Tzu surrendered to the shelter with too many medical problems to list, is a symbol of the more than $150,000 spent
each year on treating ill, injured and aged animals at the Animal Welfare Society. “Some medical ailments seem so simple – a urinary tract infection or an upper respiratory infection – and yet, the treatment can be quite expensive. Without this fund, we wouldn’t be able to get these animals on the road to recovery so quickly,” said Bobbi Allen, shelter manager. “Other medical ailments, like broken bones or heartworm treatment, cost even more. The Sadie Fund literally means a second chance for so many animals.” Other headlining sponsors of this year’s event include: Barnacle Billy’s, Ogunquit; Fetch ‘N Fun Doggie Day Care, Wells; H.M. Payson & Co., Portland; Harbor Consulting IP Services, Portsmouth; Planet Dog, Portland; Sagepoint Financial, Ogunquit and the Village Food

D.A. Hurd Library Books That Shaped America
Inspired by a current exhibit at The Library of Congress – the world’s largest repository of knowledge and information – the Hurd Library is currently displaying a selection of “Books That Shaped America.” According to a press release reposted on the Library of Congress web site, “This list of Books That Shaped America is a starting point. It is not a register of the ‘best’ American books – although many of them fit that description. Rather, the list is intended to spark a national conversation on books written by Americans that have influenced our lives…” Likewise, the D.A. Hurd Library hopes to encourage its patrons of all ages to read (or perhaps to re-read) some of the books that have influenced their lives or those of their ancestors.

The library will bring books to residents of the Olde Mill in North Berwick on Wednesday, September 5, at 2 p.m. The next outreach services to residents of Simpson Meadows are on Wednesday, September 12, at 2 p.m. The library can bring materials to elderly and homebound residents of North Berwick on request.

~ News ~ Kennebunk Land Trust Welcomes Poet Laureate KENNEBUNK – On Wednesday, September 12, at 5 pm, Kennebunk Land Trust will host its Annual Report to the Community. Kennebunk Land Trust’s mission is to permanently conserve and steward land to benefit natural and human communities. The Trust owns twenty-six properties and holds eleven easements totaling more than 3,400 acres of open space, wildlife habitat, and a multitude of opportunities for public access and recreational enjoyment. The evening will feature remarks about the Trust’s 2011 accomplishments as well as a keynote presentation by the State of Maine’s Poet Laureate, Wesley McNair. Appointed Poet Laureate in 2011, Wes McNair has already made his mark by demonstrating a fervent commitment to
bringing poetry to all audiences: young and old, timid and intrepid alike. Through his establishment of “Take Heart” and “The Poetry Express,” McNair makes it clear that poetry belongs to everyone, poetry is essential. Similarly, the Land Trust, in pursuit of its mission, makes it clear that open space is vital and access to natural spaces is essential to all forms of life. “Take Heart: A Conversation in Poetry” brings a poem a week to newspaper readers across the state. Authors in the series range from well-known classic poets such as Maine’s own May Sarton and Louise Bogan, often named one of the 20th century’s finest poets, to a contemporary Maine writer being published for the first time. The series has received a robust response from readers and writers. McNair’s venture

“The Poetry Express” began in Fort Kent and by fall will have traveled to at least a dozen towns throughout the State. It features group readings given by poets in all regions in Maine. U.S. Poet Laureate Philip Levine has called McNair “one of the great storytellers of contemporary poetry.” Stuart Kesselbaum, director of Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, says this of McNair “There isn’t anyone who knows more about Maine writing, or talks about
it better.” The author of nine volumes of poetry, McNair has held grants from the Fulbright and Guggenheim foundations, two Rockefeller Fellowships, two National Endowment for the Arts awards, and four honorary degrees for literary distinction. In 2006, he was selected for a United States Artists Fellowship of $50,000 as one of “America’s finest living artists.” Other honors include the Robert Frost Award, the Theodore Roethke Prize, an Emmy Award, and the Sarah Josepha Hale Medal. He was recently
WS
invited for the second time to read his poetry at the Library of Congress, and he has served four times on the nominating committee for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry. In June, McNair published his eighteenth book, “The Words I Chose,” a memoir describing his development as a poet against the odds of a broken home, poverty, and the hardships of family life. Today McNair makes his home in northern Maine. In the 1990s, he fulfilled a long-held dream of owning a camp on See POET page 33...

Atria Kennebunk is Hosting its 11th Annual Barbeque for Kennebunk First Responders KENNEBUNK – For the 11th consecutive year, Atria Kennebunk, an assisted living community in Kennebunk, will be hosting its 9/11 remembrance barbeque at Kennebunk Fire Station. The barbeque is not open to the public but is organized to pay tribute to the first responders of our community and their families.
This classic barbeque will include activities for the fire fighters, their families and children and will include a full buffet prepared by Atria’s culinary chefs, an ice cream smorgasbord bar, face painting, magician, cotton candy and entertainment by the popular band, Straight Lace. It has become a tradition that Jan Peterson, Atria’s senior

executive director, presents a collage to fire chief Stephen Nichols as a gift to the fire station of last year’s remembrance event. These collages are mounted on Kennebunk’s fire station’s “Wall of Memories,” as a wonderful reminder of the very deep gratitude we have for all the employees of Kennebunk’s Fire, Rescue and Police Departments and for all they do to protect our town and to protect the residents of Atria Kennebunk. “The barbeque is a great way to give recognition to our emergency services and responders,” said Nichols. “9/11 is a day we wish we could forget but know we never will. Atria’s staff gives us and our families an opportunity to spend time with one another in a place we consider home. The barbeque also gives us a chance to meet and greet Atria’s staff who we don’t get to converse with as much as we would like. It’s a time that we certainly look forward to every year.” Nichols has been working at the Kennebunk Fire Station for the last thirty-six years and has been the fire chief for twenty-two years.

The Hope Project at Hospice of York YORK – One out of every five children experiences a death of someone s/he has loved through illness or accident before reaching 21 years of age. The Hope Project, a free program, offered through Hospice of York, believes that every child touched by death deserves the opportunity to grieve in a safe and supportive environment. The Hope Project provides a setting where children and teens (ages 3-18) can begin to embrace the healing process with support from other children as well as trained volunteers. Age appropriate groupings are established encouraging children to explore and respond to their evolving
feelings through conversation, art, music, physical movement and play. Experienced staff understand that the intensity and duration of grief are unique to each individual. “There is no roadmap with grief,” said one mother when asked how she felt about the program. “At The Hope Project, they let us find our own way without being afraid of what we will find.” The Hope Project meets every other Wednesday at Frisbee Common in Kittery, from 6 to 7:30 pm. If you think your child would benefit from our services, call Nikki Hopewill, program director, at 207-4757308. All conversations will be held in strict confidence.

Volunteers Needed for the Susan G. Komen Maine Race for the Cure PORTLAND – The Komen Maine Race for the Cure in Portland will take place on Sunday, September 9, and the event is in need of volunteers to make it all happen. There is a wide variety of volunteer jobs available, including traffic control, water stops, event setup, data entry, etc. There are also some volunteer opportunities in the weeks leading up to the race, at preregistration and T-shirt pick up. There is truly something for everyone who wants to be part of this event. Anyone who wishes to register as a volunteer can do so at komenmaine.org. The first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure took place in Dallas, Texas, in 1983 with 800 participants. Today, the race series is the largest 5K series in the world with more than 120 races and more than 1 million participants expected this year. The Susan G. Komen Maine Affiliate hosts two races annually - one in Bangor which has been held since 1997 and one in Portland now entering its third year. Due to the annual success of the Bangor race and growing support for the Portland race, the Komen Maine Affiliate has invested nearly $2.6 million for education, screening and treatment programs and over $750,000 for breast cancer research through the Susan G. Komen for the Cure grants program. Nearly $500,000 has returned to Maine in the form of research grants through that program. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Promise: to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

SMMC Offers Second “Walk Away From Cancer” Program BIDDEFORD – Southern Maine Medical Center’s “Walk Away From Cancer” participants urge other cancer survivors, diagnosed during the last sixto-twelve months or currently in treatment, to attend the next session of this program. It provides survivors with the tools and motivation to begin and sustain a program of exercise, nutritional education and emotional strength and coping skills. The session will run from September 11 to October 18, every Tuesday and Thursday evening, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and is free to participants or their family thanks to a $5,000 grant by the Maine Cancer Foundation. “We are in the process of completing the first series of this program and have found the participants have enjoyed and benefited from its success,” said Peggy Belanger, RN, cancer care program coordinator. “We are pleased we can continue to offer it to more cancer survivors as they have commented on how much they have learned.” Jessica Jarvis of Kennebunk, a current participant, said “I had a really wonderful time and am sad to see it end. Sessions were informative and helped kick-start my motivation to improve my health. I really appreciate this
opportunity to have been part of this series. Having been diagnosed with cancer has been life-changing, and SMMC helped make these changes in many positive ways.” Participants spend about half of each meeting walking on the Eastern Trail behind SMMC under the direction of a rehabilitation therapist. During the remainder of each meeting, a nutritionist provides tips on diet as it relates to cancer or a social worker offers information on coping skills, depression, and other emotional health topics related to a cancer diagnosis. “It is incredibly gratifying to serve the people of Maine with these grants,” says Tara Hill, Maine Cancer Foundation executive director. “Twice a year, our selection committee is able to send funding to all corners of the state, from York County to Waldo County.” In addition to education and patient support grants, the foundation also awards cancer research grants on an annual basis, totaling more than $1.1 million in 2011. To register for “Walk Away From Cancer,” or for more information about the program, contact SMMC’s Cancer Care Coordinator Peggy Belanger, RN, at 207283-7320.

Beware Buying Medicines Online The Internet has made it possible for consumers to buy just about anything without ever leaving their homes. But buying merchandise online always comes with a degree of risk, and that’s especially so when buying medicine over the Internet. Not all web sites that sell medicine are trustworthy, and many physicians feel buying medicine online is never a viable option. The Food and Drug Administration offers the following advice to consumers: Learn about medicines before ordering Consumers should learn as much as possible about the medicines they plan to purchase before placing an order. Know what the medicine looks like, its color, texture, shape, and packaging. If the medicine has a particular taste or smell, make note of that before taking any medication purchased over the Internet. See ONLINE page 15...
August 31, 2012
...ONLINE from page 14 Know what you’re buying Many Web sites that sell medicine are perfectly legal and trustworthy. However, just as many, if not more, Web sites sell medicine that has not been checked or approved by the FDA. These drugs might contain the wrong active ingredient or too much or too little of the active ingredient, making them ineffective and possibly even deadly. These faulty sites appear just as credible as their legitimate counterparts, but sell ineffective or dangerous drugs to consumers who don’t know what they’re getting in return. In an effort to increase awareness among consumers purchasing medicine online, the FDA purchased and analyzed a host of products that were sold online as Tamiflu, which is used to treat some types of influenza infection. The active ingredient in Tamiflu is oseltamivir, but in one package purchased by the FDA online the drug they received as Tamiflu contained none of the active ingredient oseltamivir. Similar problems were reported by consumers who purchased Ambien, Xanax, Lexapro, and Ativan over the Internet. Instead of receiving these drugs, consumers received products containing the foreign version of Haldol, a powerful anti-psychotic drug that sent consumers to the emergency room, where they were treated for a host of ailments. When shopping for medicine online, the FDA notes the following signs of a Web site that’s trustworthy: * The site is located in the United States. * The Web site is licensed by the state board of pharmacy where the Web site is operating. * The Web site offers a licensed pharmacist available to answer any questions. * TheWeb site provides accessible contact information that allows consumers to talk to a person if they have any comments or questions. * The Web site has an accessible and understandable privacy and security policy for its consumers. * The Web site does not sell consumer information without consent. * The Web site only sells prescription drugs to consumers with an existing prescription.

York County’s Domestic Violence Program In Need of Volunteers YORK COUNTY – Since 1987 the month of October has been nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Each year, Caring Unlimited, York County’s Domestic Violence Resource Center, hosts a number of special events around York County during the month to raise awareness among our friends and neighbors, including an annual volunteer training. Volunteer opportunities are now available for individuals interested in working with Caring Unlimited as Hotline Advocates or “Kidworkers.”
Training for both positions will begin on Tuesday, October 9 at 6pm at the Sanford Resource Center. Hotline Advocates respond to callers on the 24-hour hotline. Volunteers’ shifts are done from home, and are backed-up by Caring Unlimited staff oncall. Hotline Advocates will complete a 40-hour training, during which they will learn the dynamics of domestic abuse, as well as how to support a victim of domestic violence and help a caller with creating a safety plan. Kidworkers provide child-
care during Caring Unlimited support and education groups. During their training, volunteers learn the dynamics of domestic violence and the impact witnessing violence has on children, in addition to learning safe and supportive games and activities for children ranging in age from infancy through adolescence. “The training is all encompassing, educational and moving,” states Jan, a current Hotline Advocate, “The need for hotline advocates is great, and with the flexibility to make your own schedule, the freedom
to ‘work’ from home and the constant support of Caring Unlimited staff my experience has been win-win-win. For a few short hours every month I can offer a bit of help, a bit of compassion and a bit of hope to victims of domestic abuse. I am constantly reminded how terrible it would be if there was nowhere to turn, or no one to talk to. They need us!” To learn more about the positions listed, or to apply to join Caring Unlimited as a volunteer, visit: www.caringunlimited.org or call Betsy at 207-490-3227 x102.
Who Else Wants to Get Rid of Bulging Discs, Sciatica, Spinal Stenosis and Leg Pain Once And For All? Cold Laser Decompression Works! (ONLY $47 TO ANYONE WHO IS SUFFERING WITH THESE CONDITIONS) Having back and leg pain can feel like a crippling condition. You might not be able to play golf, work, or sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t even remember the last time you had a restful night’s sleep. So now you settled into thinking your back and leg pain was untreatable. You are wrong. You do not have to have this horrible condition. Do You Have Any of the Following? • Sharp pains in the back of the leg • Lower back pain • Herniated/bulging discs • Numbness in your arms or legs • Shooting hip or thigh pain • Spinal Stenosis
The Single Most Important Solution To Your Sciatica and Back Pain It’s time for you to find out if Cold Laser Decompression will be your pain solution. For 10 days only, I am offering services to new patients at $47 which I normally charge at $257. What does this offer include? Here’s what you’ll get…
• An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen… really listen… to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination.
• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms. (NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100).
If you’ve suffered from any of these annoying conditions, you have probably wasted countless hours driving to clinic after clinic trying to get better.
These are just two studies out of a dozen done in the last few years, all showing promising results. Here’s the point of all these studies… Spinal decompression has a high success rate with helping disc herniations, disc bulging, sciatica, and back pain. This means in just a matter of weeks, you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.
Spinal decompression just may be the answer that you’ve been looking for. Ask yourself… After taking all these pain medications and playing the ‘wait and see game’, maybe for years… Are you any better off?
Call anytime between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tell our receptionist you’d like to come in for the Special Decompression Evaluation before September 14, 2012.
Sincerely, Dr. Jeff Donatello, D.C, C.N.S, F.I.C.T, F.A.A.A.A.H. S
P.S. The only real question to ask yourself is this… What Will Your Pain Feel Like 1 Month From Today?
“What’s The Chance This Will Work For Me?”
“Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function… No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).”
There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT not before seeking a natural way to correct the CAUSE of the problem!
I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain, so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life.
Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems, they may be relieved or eliminated by Cold Laser Decompression.
Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed…
“But I feel fine – as long as I take my pain pills.”
We can get started with your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule. Our office is on 76 Route One Bypass in Kittery (just two minutes north of the Portsmouth traffic circle).
Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back or sciatica hurts and the pain just won’t go away… That is wrong.
A medical study found patients went from moderately painful to almost no pain with decompression treatments. Those that took pain pills improved less than 5%. – American Society of Anesthesiologist, 2006 Chicago, IL
You’ll simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to focus on your problem area – then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest.
What My Patients Are Saying
“Its not just about the pain, its about how it affects your lifestyle.” Dr.Donatello & his daughters • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • You’ll get to see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients. The appointment will not take long at all and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day either. And the best part about it is…
No Dangerous Drugs, No Invasive Procedures, And No Painful Exercises Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, I even catch a few patients sleeping during sessions every once and awhile.
“I have a herniated disc that would throw my back out frequently. I was treated with traditional chiropractic care for 12 years, one time per month. It helped but a lot of the time I had low residual pain. I then went through the decompression therapy with Dr. Donatello and it is amazing. I recently drove a car to New York City and before I would have needed help getting out of the car. This time it felt like I never even had a long trip, my back was as healthy as any healthy individual.” Pam Carnicelli, York, Maine “I look back now, having gone through spinal decompression, and feel that the sacrifice I made in time and money was well worth it. I now live pain free from day-to-day. It has changed my life and it has improved my everyday activities. I now have hope where I had lost hope for a very long time.” Denise R. Greenland

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~
Hi Elizabeth, I am using Outlook 2010 with Windows 7. Many times I receive an email from someone’s ipad (or their phones) and it’s in plain text. When I reply, I can only reply in plain text, not HTML. How can I reply in HTML? (I like to bold letters, use my signature, etc.) Thanks, Anna Dear Anna, When you reply to an email message, the default is to format the message in the same way that it came to you. You can quickly change the reply to HTML. Here is how to do that: 1. Open Microsoft Outlook, and click “Reply” for the plain text message that you want to reply to. 2. Your reply will open in a new window. 3. In the toolbar at the top, you will see a series of tabs, click on the tab that says, “Format Text.” 4. In the “Format Text” ribbon there is a section labeled, “Format.” As you can see in the picture, “Plain Text” is highlighted. 5. Click on either “HTML” or “Rich Text.” 6. Now you will be able to make bold letters and use your signature in your email message. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I hope you can help me. This morning I accidentally blocked a sender (wrong one) and want to restore it to safe list. Where in Windows 7 live mail do I find the list? I’ve looked all over but no luck. Have a great day, Joan Dear Joan, Here is how to remove the address from the blocked senders list. 1. Open Windows Live Mail. 2. Click on the tab to the left. Point to “Options” then click on “Safety Options.” 3. Click on the “Blocked Senders” tab in the Safety Options dialog box. 4. Find the correct email address in the list of blocked senders, click once on the email address, then click on the “Remove” button on the right.
If you want, you can also click on the “Safe Senders” tab and add the email address to this list. When you are finished, click the “OK” button to save your changes and close the window. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I noticed you said you were re-doing your website in your newsletter. Obviously, we all like new things, but it seems like a lot of work. What would be the advantage of redesigning an existing business website that has loads of information? Will you transfer your archived information over? Just wondering because I have thought about doing the same for my website, but it’s old and has lots of links. Thanks, as always, for all your great insight! Steve Dear Steve, I created my website in 1998 when I was first learning HTML and I wrote the HTML code myself. That first website worked great for a while, but as the site grew, and I added articles from my newsletter, it got too big to update manually. Each time I added a page, I had to go in and change the menus on each page in the site. At that time, I redesigned my site in a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) web design program from Serif Software named, WebPlus. WebPlus worked great for me until my site got up to about the 200-page mark. Every time I added a page, WebPlus would automatically recreate all the links and menus for me so I could just concentrate on adding new pages. Unfortunately, when my site got to be about 200 pages in size, it was too much for WebPlus to handle, and the program slowed down to a crawl. Eventually, I would create a new page and then have to let the computer work for a couple of hours while it recreated all the menus and uploaded the files. That is when I discovered WordPress. WordPress is a blogging platform, but because it is made to organize past blog posts,
it was perfect for my question and answer format. You can see the WordPress part of my site at www.askthecomputerlady.com/ questions. The part of my website that I am redoing is the part that I can no longer edit with the WYSIWYG software. I need to be able to make small changes to the site when I need to, and I have some beautiful new graphics that are more modern that I want to use. I also want to go back to writing the HTML myself because there is so much more that I can do with it than I can do with a program that makes the code for me. The part of my site that I need to re-do is at www. asktcl.com As you can see, there are missing graphics and it needs to be updated. Once I have re-created the site in HTML, I will not be stuck with a website that I can’t edit like I am now. All my questions and answers will still be there, along with new, updated information. I hope this helps as you decide what to do with your site. If you are looking for someone to redesign your site for you, let me know and I would be happy to give you a quote. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I noticed on your SendOutCards website in the cards menu there is an item named Campaigns. What are campaigns? Thanks, Jane Dear Jane, A campaign is just a saved card or a series of cards. I use a single card campaign to send out my Christmas cards, and a multiple card campaign to follow up with my computer customers. You can also use a campaign to send out party invitations, a baby shower for example. Creating a campaign is easy, just go to www.sendoutcards.com/computerlady login to your account and click on “Cards” in the red menu, click on “Campaigns” and then click on the blue “Create a new Campaign” button. Follow the instructions to create your campaign. This will include creating a card that can

be personalized with the recipients name and other information. Once you have created and saved your campaign, go to your contacts list, and select the contacts you want to send the campaign to. You can also send a campaign to new contacts. Lets say that you create a campaign for new customers.

Best Buys for Gaming Buffs Adult gamers lead the pack of players. Turning to gamingrelated gifts for men could garner you high brownie points come the next special occasion. Did you know that the average gamer is not the rambunctious 10-year-old who invites a gaggle of school friends over to battle in “Skylanders”? Rather, a study published in the October 2009 issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine says that the average age of video-game players in the United States is 35. And among players, some of the most popular console- and Internet-based games enjoyed are MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games. MMORPG is a genre of video games that involves roleplaying and interaction within a virtual game world. Unlike single-player or small multiplayer role playing games (RPGs), MMORPGs can attract a very large number of players who assume roles in a persistent world, which is one that usually evolves and grows – even when players are offline. These games can be played by gamers all over the world – and video game revenue forecasters say that consumer spending on MMORPGs is now a billion-dollar industry. Those who are planning to purchase an MMORPG may want to choose among the top-rated games. Here are the top 5, according to MMORPG Center. 1. “World of Tanks”: This is a free, team-based game that revolves around armored war-

fare. Epic tank battles take place during the era of World War II. Arsenals include more than 150 armored vehicles from Germany, America and the Soviet Union that are digitally detailed with historical accuracy. 2. “Star Wars – The Old Republic”: “Star Wars” fans number in the millions. For those who want to delve into what the galaxy was like prior to the rise of Darth Vader, players can explore the time of the Old Republic. This is when the Old Republic battles against the Sith Empire, dividing the galaxy into good and evil. 3. “Firefall”: This action shooter has players joining fellow gamers in a campaign to fight for the survival of humanity. It’s another game that features a free-to-play model. 4. “End of Nations”: This game brings real-time strategy and MMO together in order to combat the Order of Nations. Deploy units, join battles and evolve an army to change the world with each battle. 5. “TERA Online”: Players battle in epic wars and protect their kingdoms from demise within the exiled realm of Arborea. This is a visually stunning world with top-of-theline graphics – some the best in the industry. While these are some of the top-rated games, there are many games that have withstood the test of time and continue to be released in new installments. Another popular game series is Diablo. “Diablo III” is the latest in the series, set to be released in May of 2012. It is a dark fantasy/horror-themed game that takes place in Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the series. Video games continue to enthrall people of all ages. They can make the perfect gifts for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions for the men in your life. This article was provided by MetroCreative.

Consider These Financial Gifts for Your Grandchildren Parsons Law, PLLC
National Grandparents Day is celebrated on September 9. If you’re a grandparent yourself, you already know the pleasures of having grandchildren in your life. So you may want to take this occasion to think of ways you can help those grandchildren get the most out of their lives. Perhaps the most valuable thing you could give to your grandkids is the gift of education. Consider this: Over a lifetime, college graduates earn, on average, about $1 million more than those without a degree according to the Census Bureau. So, putting money toward your grandchildren’s
college education is probably a pretty good investment. Furthermore, your grandchildren may well need the help, because college is expensive and costs continue to rise. Consequently, you may want to contribute to a 529 plan. You have several options for how the money can be invested and contribution limits are quite high. All withdrawals are free from federal income taxes, provided the money is used for qualified college expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that non-qualified withdrawals will be taxable and possibly subject to penalties.) Plus, if you invest in your own state’s 529 plan, your contributions
may be deductible on your state income taxes. If you name one grandchild as a beneficiary of a 529 plan and that grandchild decides not to go to college, you can switch the account to another grandchild — in other words, you maintain control of the money for the life of the account. Of course, despite its economic benefits, college is not for everyone. So if you wanted to provide financial help to a grandchild who seems likely to choose a different route in life, See GIFTS page 27...

Maine Forest Rangers Seek Volunteers for Cleanup Day
YORK COUNTY – Maine Forest Rangers, as they did last year, are organizing a “Landowner Appreciation Cleanup Day” to be held next month. The second annual cleanup day, scheduled for Saturday, September 15, has been set aside for those people who recreate outdoors in Maine to show their appreciation to landowners who allow free access to their land. Participants will help properly dispose of illegally discarded items at dump sites and discourage further dumping on these sites. “Our Landowner Appreciation Cleanup Day held last year was very successful, and a lot of work was accomplished, for which landowners were very appreciative,” said regional ranger Jeff Currier, the Maine Forest Service Incident Management Team commander. “We are asking for volunteers to again step forward and help with this rewarding project.” The MFS Incident Management Team, under the Maine Department of Conservation, is organizing the event, and forest rangers will be working in cooperation with the Small Woodland
Owners Association of Maine, the Maine Snowmobile Association and the Landowners Relations Program under Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. So far, more than fifty illegal dump sites on private land throughout Maine have been identified, according to Currier. Most of the illegal dump sites identified resulted from calls to the Maine Forest Service. MFS forest rangers have investigated more 275 litter complaints so far in 2012. The Maine Forest Service will supply trucks and trash bags to haul away the discarded materials to nearby transfer stations. Many of those transfer stations have offered to waive fees for these materials. Volunteers are urged to call 1-800-750-9777 to offer their assistance. In 2011, several ATV and snowmobile clubs, firefighters and Boy Scout troops helped clean up these sites. For more information on the Maine Forest Service, visit maineforestservice.gov.

Louise Marie Augustine Stevens, 90 WELLS – Louise Marie Augustine Stevens, 90, a resident of Tatnic Road, Wells died Monday August 27, 2012 at her home surrounded by her family following a brief illness. She was born in Bricqueboscq, France on April 27, 1922, a daughter of August and Julline Giquet. She survived great poverty and the occupation of WWII. She worked for the Red Cross, where she met her future husband, Roy C. Stevens when he came in from the front lines looking for some coffee and donuts. He was refused as he did not have his ration book or money, and Louise told him to go to the back door and she gave him the coffee and donuts. They were married on October 27, 1945 and would have celebrated their 67th anniversary this year. Louise came to America on April 14, 1946 and, after learning to speak English, obtained her US Citizenship. She maintained her French accent after all these years. She and Roy owned and operated the Linden Lodge in Ogunquit, ME for eight years and bought Wonderview Motor Village in 1960, which they ran until 1970 and then retired. Louise was an extremely hard worker, she loved cooking family meals and made the best homemade bread. She brought her grandson and granddaugh-

ter to France to visit. She enjoyed the beach, playing cards and especially spending time with family. She was a member of St. Mary’s Church in Wells and her faith was always strong – through the good and the bad. She and Roy spent the last 20 years wintering in Florida.

Powered by Frustration and Fantasy, ‘9 to 5’ is Great Fun
By Scott Andrews Staff Columnist OGUNQUIT – Frustration and fantasy are the twin powers that drive “9 to 5,” the latest Broadway musical to open at Ogunquit Playhouse. The frustration is with a tyrannical boss in a mega-corporation, and the fantasy is all about revenge and getting even. Multiply that situation times three, plus add an infinity of complications and you get an idea of the comic and emotional horsepower that underlies this show, which is a musical stage adaptation of the 1980 Hollywood movie of the same name. That film was a phenomenal hit and still ranks among Hollywood’s top-grossing comedies. Country singer Dolly Parton was one of three stars in the movie, and she also wrote and performed the theme song. Although sung in Parton’s distinctive country twang, the song “9 to 5” was a crossover hit that reached millions of people who didn’t see the film or care for country music. For the 2009 Broadway version, Parton wrote a slew of additional songs, several of which have also become hits outside their stage contexts. With a book by Patricia Resnick that closely parallels the movie script, “9 to 5” is one of the funniest musicals ever to grace the stage at Ogunquit Playhouse. Starring Becky Gulsvig in the Dolly Parton role, Ogunquit Playhouse’s “9 to 5” is a tuneful and raucously funny show – an absolute archetype of American musical comedy. Gulsvig, who was previously seen at Ogunquit in the title role of “Legally Blonde,” combines a fine singing voice, plastic facial

expressions and suggestive body language to give an outstanding performance. The story line revolves around three women in an office who plot revenge on their boss, a sleazy, self-centered, hypocritical, lecherous, lying misogynist-malefactor. Gulsvig is joined by two coworkers, Carrie McNulty playing an office veteran who is trying to climb the corporate ladder, and Erica Aubrey portraying a hopeful newbie in the company’s secretarial pool. Sally Struthers, in her 10th year at Ogunquit Playhouse, has a wonderful role as the bad guy’s right-hand woman, a sexstarved gossip and eavesdropper who earns more than her share of laughs. Kudos also to Ed Staudenmayer as the bad boss. He gives a fine over-the-top performance – required in this deliciously comic role – as the root of evil whose actions provoke a maelstrom of vengeance that evolves into comic chaos before it devolves into a surprisingly and satisfying denouement.
Parton’s new songs are outstanding, and include “Backwoods Barbie,” for Gulsvig, “One of the Boys,” for McNulty and “Get Out and Stay Out,” for Aubrey. Struthers’ big song is “Heart to Hart,” which also includes an exceptionally funny comedy scene. Although “9 to 5” is primarily a musical comedy, there’s some emotional depth as well. Each of the three principal women have interesting back stories that deserve empathy. Each of these three characters is supported by Parton’s score, and each story resolves into a satisfactory outcome.
KITTERY – Just Us Chickens presents the work of Thomas and Anne Dubois. The couple has lived in Eliot for many years, and their works have been shown throughout the Seacoast area. Their show will run throughout the month of September with a special opening on Friday, September 7 from 4-7 pm. Anne holds an MFA from the University of New Hampshire and has shown her work at the Kittery Art Association, York Art Association and many galleries throughout Portsmouth and the Seacoast area. Color gets Anne out of bed in the morning, and she has loved color ever since she was old enough to hold a crayon. In her oil paintings she creates texture and drawing marks that show that a hand made her images. She likes to concentrate on familiar subjects, such as flowers, shells, pots. She then works from her imagination to transpose the objects into something more. Often she will bring the outdoors in, which feeds her desire to live outside. Woodworking is a second career for Tom. He has been a clinical psychologist associated with UNH for many years. He
took up wood sculpture in the mid-80’s, showing and selling his work through many galleries and venues throughout the Seacoast area and beyond. As a member of the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen, he sells and exhibits his work at many of the League stores. In shaping wood, Thomas imagines that the spirit of the tree his wood piece came from is released in a new form. In each work, he tries to bring out the inherent character of the color, texture and figure of the wood, celebrating the wood from which it is made. He especially likes working with burls, which are formed when a tree is injured. The burl covers the wound and grows with the tree and each is unique in its figure, shape and size. Just Us Chickens is open from 10-6 Tuesdays through Saturdays. (courtesy photo)

6th Annual “Swinging for a Cure” Golf Tournament Follows Pulmonary Hypertension Forum FALMOUTH – UPHill Journeys, a program of Maine Medical Center, will host a Pulmonary Hypertension Forum on September 14, followed by a golf tournament at Falmouth Country Club on September 15. The event’s goal is to raise awareness of pulmonary hypertension, support PH patients, and raise research funds to help find a cure. The golf tournament will be followed by a barbecue, silent and live auction. Pulmonary hypertension is a simplified name for a complex health problem. Continuous high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery in the lungs results in an enlarged heart, which can also lose the ability to pump. Presently, there is no cure. In 1985, patients had a 50 percent chance of surviving 2.8 years past date of diagnosis. However, thanks to new treatments, the prognosis is improving. The mission of UPHill Journeys is to provide hope to the pulmonary hypertension community through support, education, advocacy and awareness. The forum will begin at 9 a.m., September 14, and will be held at Falmouth Country Club, 1 Congressional Drive, in Falmouth. Registration for the forum will begin at 8:30 a.m. Dr. Joel Wirth, a PH Specialist at Maine Medical Center, and Dr. Harrison Farber, a PH specialist from Boston University School of Medicine, will be leading the PH Forum. There is no charge for anyone wishing to attend. An auction will be held at the forum. A special part of the forum will be a balloon release. This will take place at 11

If you have lost a family member and are able to participate in this remembrance, contact Jeannette Morrill by email or phone listed below. The format for the golf tournament is a four-person team scramble with registration beginning at 11:30 a.m. Individuals who may not have a foursome can register and they will put you on a team. The shotgun start will occur at 1 p.m. There will be some exciting events going on, including a $10,000 Hole-in-One Contest as well as a $5,000 putting contest. The dinner will follow the golf tournament and begin around 5:30 p.m. A ticket and live auction will be held during the dinner. The fee to participate in the tournament is $100/player. This amount includes cart, green fees, contests and dinner. If you cannot attend the event and would like to help with this effort, a financial donation or auction item may be sent to Jeannette Morrill, P.O. Box 15,

Oceanside Basketball Camp Announces Award-Winners YORK – York Parks and Recreation Oceanside Basketball Camp recently completed another exciting, fun-filled week of basketball at York High School. The campers learned their fundamentals through station drills each morning. They also sharpened their game listening to lectures and then working on the techniques presented with drills. Other camp features included shooting competitions, crunch time games, and “Beat the Coach” challenges. Here they learned to enjoy the game and have fun doing so. Each camper played ten games during the week. Campers of the week in the College Division were Olivia Linehan, Eliza Linn, Gabe Sarno, Riley Johnston, Riley Linn, Tom Coughlin, Matt Elwell, and Mikayla Murrin. Campers of the week in the Pro Division were Emily Thornton, Will Donnell, Sarah McPhail, Morgan Chapman, Zach Westman, Alex Frame, Tommy McCarthy, Chris Marcoullier, Julia Leahy, and Camden Welch. Camp certificates were presented to the following: Peter Arsenault, Tayla Bando, Kara Donovan, Jessie Edmondson, Scott Elwell, Rhys Evans, Jackson Forbes, Alea Galbadis, Gus Hogan, Parker Hogan,
NORTH BERWICK – When the Noble High School football team opens its 2012 campaign tonight, Friday, August 31, it will be led by a new coach but one with a lot of experience. The Knights will be under the leadership of Tom Daubney, the former head coach at Portsmouth (N.H.) High School, who replaces John Carver who resigned following last season. Daubney will do something few if any coaches have accomplished by coaching his grandson this season after coaching his son while at Portsmouth. The 70-year-old coach headed the Portsmouth program from 1970 to 1992 when his teams played in six Division I championship games, winning three of them. He left Portsmouth to do things “on his bucket list” and when that was accomplished and the coaching opportunity recently arose he decided to take it. Daubney has been the head coach of the New Hampshire team in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game that pits graduated seniors from New Hampshire and Vermont three times, and served as assistant coach five times including 2010. The annual game raises money for the Shrine Hospitals. He said in a telephone interview earlier this week that there have been changes in the game over the intervening years but nothing major. Dinon Hughes, Tyler Humphrey, Nolan Layton, Isabel Leahy, Cole Lee, Aidan Martin, Peyton Nickerson, Austin Niles, Hayden Ott, Dylan Prince, Evan Rankin, Connor Remick, Evan Schindler, Matt Talty, Danny Thurlow, Ian Welch. Program directors were Andy Gray and JJ Galante. Other coaches and staff included Stephanie Gallagher, Michael King, Luke Mackey, Anthony Sciaudone. Referees were Mike Gallagher, Nick Darby, Ross Hogan, Dick Kelliher. Once again for the third year in a row – a special thanks to Kevin Sollitto, Ridell Sports representative, for his help behind the scenes in making Oceanside Camp a success. Thanks, also, to York Parks and Recreations Administrator Sarah Francke and her staff for all their support.
“There have been a lot of rules (changed) to protect the kids,” he said. As far as the attitude and approach to the game, he sees “very little change.” As was his approach at Portsmouth, he not only teaches the game but stresses the need for commitment, to “having your work and a handshake mean something.” Noble has won two of sixteen games in the last two years playing in Class A against Maine’s largest schools. His approach at this point, he said, is for his team “to get better today” and become competitive. The team has had a few scrimmages, and against Thornton Academy, a perennial Class A power, “our kids played every down and we got better that night,” he said, adding he is lucky to have been able to put together a strong coaching staff including some former Noble and Marshwood High School players. The staff includes Andrew Elwell, Danny Lawrence, Mike Brown, Al Robertshaw, and Dean Truax. Elwell, a tackle at the University of New Hampshire in his playing days, handles the offensive and defensive lines at Noble. A graduate of Marshwood, he also served on the Hawks’ coaching staff. Lawrence and Brown are Noble graduates, and Robertshaw is a former member of Rod Wotton’s staff at St. Thomas Aquinas in Dover. Truax has coaching experience at Portsmouth High School. The Knights have about fifty players on the roster, many of them inexperienced. Daubney said there are sophomores and freshman in the starting lineup. Included on the team is Ethan Beaulier, Daubney’s grandson. Ethan’s father, Mark Beaulier, played for Daubney at Portsmouth. He died of colon cancer at the age of 43. Watching his grandson play, Daubney became aware of the Noble program and when the coach resigned, he accepted the position for at least one year. Daubney lives in Epping and has to commute more than forty-five minutes to work these days, something that doesn’t seem to bother him at all. Accepting this new challenge of teaching football and commitment at this stage of his life fulfills something he has said many, many times over the years: “I’d rather wear out than rust out.”

SPORTS Berwick Academy Girls’ Soccer Coming on Strong SOUTH BERWICK – Travis Derr has to wear two hats. The assistant athletic director is also the girls’ soccer coach, and with the new season underway and school starting up soon, he’s busier than ever. The second-year coach wouldn’t have it any other way, though, and his girls’ soccer team is showing signs of “coming on strong,” according to Robert Quinn, athletic director at Berwick Academy. Last year was Derr’s first year, and the team battled to a 4-6-5 record. “The outlook for the season is good,” Derr said. “We’ll look to again qualify for the EIL Tournament in hopes of a higher seed. We will be strong defensively returning three of our starting back four with many returners stepping up, along with some talented freshmen competing for starting defensive positions.” The key returning players are Cora Ordway, a midfielder from Rollinsford, New Hampshire, Kaitlyn Wurzer, a defender from Lee, New Hampshire, Aimee Briand, a forward from Barrington, New Hampshire, and Georgia Barlow, from South Berwick. “We return two senior goalkeepers Eliza Hazen (York, ME) and Caitlyn Winders (Rochester, NH) who will share time and compete for the starting spot. Last year they combined for a 1.13 goals against average.” While the defense is solid, one of the pre-season questions is how to generate offense. “The question is who will
step up to score. We scored three goals over the weekend at the Noble Jamboree with different players involved assisting and scoring,” Derr said. Berwick Academy plays in the Eastern Independent League against Pingree, Portsmouth Abbey, Winsor, Dana Hall, Concord Academy, Newton Country Day, Landmark School and Beaver Country Day. They also play Maine independent schools Kent’s Hill, Gould Academy, Hebron Academy, and Hyde School. “We will have more depth offensively than last year,” said the second-year coach. “And will be stronger defensively.”
...GIFTS from page 17 what could you do? One possibility is to set up a custodial account, often known as an UGMA (Uniform Gift to Minors Act) or UTMA (Uniform Transfer to Minors Act). You can fund a custodial account with many different types of investments, but the use of the money is entirely up to your grandchildren when they reach the age of termination in whatever state in which they live. But if your reason for funding a custodial account is simply to provide a gift, then you might not be concerned with how the money is used. On the other hand, if you want to give your grandchildren a financial gift with greater control, you may want to speak to your attorney about your options. One possibility is to set up an irrevocable trust. You can
Wells High School Football Team Ready to Defend State Championship WELLS – Coach Tim Roche is a busy man these days. He is working overtime to fill several holes from last year’s state championship football team. The Warriors lost seventeen seniors to graduation, but that setback seems to just make Roche more motivated. “I have the utmost confidence in this group of juniors,” he said. “Now they’re seniors and ready to go and work hard.” Despite the large losses, Roche doesn’t see the need to reinvent things. “We will go through the same process as last year: prac-
tice hard. Coaches like to say ‘take it one game at a time,’ we like to take it one practice at a time.” The team was away to camp during the first week of pre-season, a tradition that dates back more than a decade. They traveled to Camp Winsocki on Lake Winnipesaukee for the second year in a row. They’ve kicked off the pre-season with such a trip for twelve of Roche’s fourteen years as coach. While the pre-season might sound like a day at the beach, the focus is very serious. “The goal is always to win championships,” Roche said.
Championship Team Visits State House BERWICK – Governor LePage and local legislators welcomed a youth baseball team from Berwick to the State House on August 17, after it became the first team from Maine to win a championship in Cal Ripken Baseball. The team, known as Berwick 9U, won the 2012 New England Regional Championship. The governor, along with State Rep. Beth O’Connor (RBerwick) and State Sen. Ron Collins (R-York County), congratulated the team and the coaches, Will Shapleigh, Robby Druge and Adam Podolec. The team got a chance to show off their trophies and give the governor an autographed bat to commemorate the occasion. The team, mostly nineyear-olds, chatted with the governor in his cabinet room about
fund this trust with either cash or securities and specify at the time the trust is created when the funds can be used. So For example, you can provide that the trust pay your grandchild a certain amount of money at one age, with another installment coming several years later. Keep in mind, though, that trusts are complex instruments and may have tax considerations, so in addition to consulting with an attorney, you’ll want to discuss your plans with your tax advisor. Whichever option is right for your family, use Grandparents Day as an opportunity to consider the ways in which you can give something to the grandchildren who give so much to you.

“But the process to get you there is what has to be focused on.” Wells will feature a couple of returning players who will give opponents headaches. Dante Fanning at running back is one of them. “That’s definitely a kid who’s going to have a good year,” Roche predicted. Another returning running back, Joey Spinelli, splits time at defensive back. “He had a lot of interceptions last year,” said Roche, who was hesitant to identify individual stars. “Those are a couple of standouts, but I have so many.” The depth of his squad and the way they work together have been hallmarks of his program. That approach is no accident, Roche says, since he believes that, in any other sport, a superstar can take over. “That’s pretty hard to do in football,” he said. Wells opens the 2012 season at Cape Elizabeth tonight, August 31, and Roche expects the typical battle. “They don’t have a lot of numbers out this year, it looks like to me, but they have plenty of talent. It’s a good opener for us to see where we. The good news is eight teams make the playoffs,” he said. “After Friday, we want to be 1-0.”

You’ll also need to be willing to handle him and play with him regularly so he can be a happy and healthy Guinea Pig. Will you conform to all that? Good. Now just let him finish sniffing you over. Stop on by the shelter today to meet Tater and see if he picks you for his new family.
WELLS – Sweet Caroline, Ebony, and Zappy all went to new homes, thanks to the adoption event hosted by our good friends at Bell Farm Antiques. Even though several kittens were at last week’s adoption event, adult cats are the ones who found great homes – amazing! Ebony’s new home was out of state and because we always do home visits and home delivery we drove four hours roundtrip to ensure Ebony would be comfortable meeting his new family. Little Oakie, the tiny kitten you met in an earlier feature, still needs bottle-feeding every two or three hours so she came along for the ride, too, with her formula and plenty of blankets. Volunteering for Safe Haven keeps us busy around the clock! There was a medical emergency the same evening. A beautiful young kitty named Lilly was rushed to the emergency vet Saturday evening. Emergency vet care is terribly expensive, so if you’d like to donate toward Lilly’s care, we’d appreciate it. She has a severe eye ulcer and the vets are working hard to save her eyesight. If you’re a nurse or have animal medical experience please consider helping Safe Haven with some of our special-needs kitties. Those with experience with feral cats, or a lifetime of experience with cats, please help us with the care and treatments some kitties

require. From time to time kitties need injections or subcutaneous fluids. Nurses experienced in this skill are desperately needed. We want to increase the size of our medical team to give our current volunteers some rest. Please call 229-8314 if you’re interested. Animal care can be given at our adoption center or in your own home if you wish to foster a recovering or sick kitty. Dog days? What about the Cat Days of Summer? People aren’t the only ones who enjoy lazy summer days. Sometimes, simply relaxing and hanging out is the best thing to do. Elsie knows exactly how to do just that! Elsie spends the cat days of summer stretched out on the back of the sofa in our adoption room and body-surfing the cushions. It’s so funny to see her straddle the back of the sofa with both front and back legs. Check out the photo to see this hysterical pose. When we see her all mellow and relaxed, it’s hard to remember that she used to be tense and shy. She was one of litter of kittens living at a dump. Now, in the middle of all the activity in the cat room, she totally zones out in her own blissful yoga position. This young kitty got her name because of her dairy cowlike markings. On one shoulder is a heart-shaped mark which makes her even more unique. Elsie’s personality is very happy and playful. She’d prefer a home without little children; they were a bit too much for her in the past. Older children are fine. So would being an only kitty. More attention and play time for her. Come and visit this darling, fun kitty.
large selection of young kittens, a number of teenage kittens, a nice group of young adult cats and a limited number of older cats looking to loving families like yours for new homes. We still have a small supply of small and medium sizes dogs available for immediate adoption. For dog adoptions please call Cheryl at 676-5599. Adoption hours are Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and by appointment during the week, at 37 Market Street in the village of North Berwick.

~ News ~ ...HIKE from page 1 Georgia, where he made his way to the start of the Appalachian Trail. Then began the epic trip, with Gagnon carrying his 40pound backpack along the way. He was a family doctor with a practice in Eliot until he retired last September. His wife, Susan, works as a nurse at Marshwood High School. “She’s supporting me,” he joked. In fact, his entire family has been supportive of the trip. His daughter inspired it, and his son, Nathan, met him at Mount Katahdin to hike the last leg of the journey with him. Nathan, 28, and Nicole, 30, both went to Marshwood High School. Nathan went to the University of Vermont and now works at Northeastern in their curriculum planning department. Nicole went to Brown and the University of Southern Maine, and then followed in her mom’s footsteps and went into nursing. Gagnon’s hike offered him a fair share of adventure. “On the third day out, I had my food bag rifled by a bear,” he said. “So I had to get new supplies and a new waterproof bag the next day.” That bear became a recurring visitor to Gagnon and his fellow hikers. “The bear came back two or three times. We kept trying to hang our supplies higher, but we weren’t successful.” He started the trip hiking with an Englishman nicknamed “Hop-along” as he had a funny way of walking, Gagnon said. “We met the first day and hiked for the first few days together. He was very brave. He
would run out and scare the bear away,” Gagnon said. “The trick to is don’t make eye contact, but try to scare them away. Don’t let them get used to hanging around with humans.” Gagnon said he heard the story of the recent fatal bear attack in Denali National Park, the first such attack in the park’s history, so he knows full well – despite its rarity – of the possibilities of such trouble and the dangers inherent in wilderness walking. Doctor Dave, as he is known on the trails, was separated from Hop-along soon into the trip. “It was raining, and I wanted to keet hiking but he stayed put,” Gagnon said, adding that people often get trail names from some quirk of their personality. He returned home on August 12, when he met his son and wife at Mount Katahdin. He finished the journey by hiking to the summit and back with his son. While on the trail, Gagnon said he had a cell phone, but there were days - even weeks - when he didn’t have cell service. Up next for the intrepid traveler is a more intellectual pursuit – he’s writing a book. Submitted to potential publishers before he departed, he is now working with Vantage Press to fine-tune the work, a fictional account “about the things that happened to me as a doctor over the years.” While the book doesn’t include any aspects of his journey, he is going to talk to his editor about possibly adding a chapter. “They say the book works pretty well as it is, so shouldn’t need much editing,” he said.
Capriccio 2012: Ogunquit’s Festival of the Arts OGUNQUIT – Capriccio, a two-week celebration of the arts in Ogunquit, has a distinct musical approach this year. From Sept. 3 through Sept. 16 there will be music at the Dunaway Center, Ogunquit Playhouse, the Baptist Church, Jonathan’s, and the Barn Gallery, in addition to other arts and cultural events at locations all around town. Capriccio was started by Ogunquit Performing Arts twenty-two years ago to celebrate Ogunquit’s 10th anniversary as an independent town. It has grown from a weekend event to a twoweek long, town-wide Festival of the Arts. Special this year is the number of musical events all around town: • Dunaway Center. Saturday Sept. 8, 8 pm – Masanobu Ikemia’s: “Classics to Ragtime (Chopin, Ravel, Joplin and more) piano recital with commentaries.” Tickets are $15 adults and $5 for students 18 and under and areavailable at the Welcome Center, Dunaway Center, Ogunquit Camera Shop, and at the door, • Barn Gallery, Sunday Sept. 16, 7:30 pm – Roll & Go, Maine’s lively players performing Sea Shanties. Admission: $10 adults, $5 for students 18 and under, and free for children12 and under. • Ogunquit Baptist Church. Sunday Sept. 16, 7 pm – Scandia Duo, an organ and violin concert program performing Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons.” Free with donation. • Ogunquit Playhouse. Through Sept. 15: “9 to 5 The Musical.” • Jonathan’s. Friday Sept. 7,
8 pm – The Ryan Montbleau Band Just when the leaves start to think about turning and students prepare to go back to school, Ogunquit not only comes alive with the above musical events it also features an number of events destined to appeal to all ages and interests. The traditional opening event of Capriccio on Labor Day Monday evening Sept. 3 is Poets in Person at the Barn Gallery. Poets from all around Maine meet with poetry aficionados at the Barn Gallery at 7:30 pm to read aloud from their works. Among the poets participating this year are Martin Steingesser, Portland, Maine’s first Poet Laureate (2007-2008) and Carol Bachofner, Rockland’s Poet Laureate. The poets will also bring copies of their published works that may be purchased. Perhaps one of the most popular features of Capriccio is the Kite Festival on Ogunquit Beach on Saturday, Sept. 8, 9 am to 2 pm. Free kites are available for children to decorate and fly, and possibly win prizes. Professionals with large colorful kites also participate. The skies are full of kites, an impressive display and a delightful way to enjoy a day at the beach whether or not you fly a kite.
As Ogunquit’s history developed, artists moved into some of the fish shacks in Perkins Cove and into surrounding homes. This art history is still alive and well today and offers visitors many hours of browsing through some of the finest art collections in the area: • The Ogunquit Museum of Modern Art, 543 Shore Road. Hours: Daily – 10 am to 5 pm. Admission: Adults $10, Seniors $9, Students $9. Members and children under 12 – free. • Barn Gallery, Bourne Lane and Shore Road. Hours: Daily – 11 am to 5 pm. Sunday–1 to 5 pm. This gallery is the exhibition space for the local artists of the Ogunquit Art Association. Admission is free. • Ogunquit Heritage Museum, 86 Obeds Lane. Hours: 1 to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday. Located in the historic Captain Winn House this museum features Ogunquit’s history from a fishing village, art colony, and tourist destination. Admission is free. Also available will be maps showing the location of Ogunquit’s additional galleries, most are within walking distance of each other. A pleasant way to spend a morning or afternoon. Another special feature of Capriccio is the Antique Show and Sale at the Dunaway Center Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15 and 16, Saturday: 10-5, Sunday 10-4. Local restaurants also have entertainment. Information can be found about these by checking the Chamber of Commerce website: www.ogunquit.org. (courtesy photo)

...GLOBAL from page 1 prospect of American culture, in the form of a high school in Saco, with the people he meets. “I’ve pretty much touched down all over the place,” Powers said, adding that he often travels with representatives from other Maine boarding schools, like Maine Central Institute and Hebron Academy. “My most recent trip was to China to do some recruiting and find out more about the country.” Foreign students now comprise ten percent of Thornton’s total population, he said, necessitating the building of an additional dormitory last year. The new housing is named after retiring headmaster Carl Stasio, Jr. (Rene Menard, a TA graduate who taught there and become associate headmaster in 2007, is the new headmaster.) Four teachers and their families supervise the dorm, living there full-time, Powers said. They engage in all the family-style activities one would imagine of any other family during evenings and on weekends – joining the students in various activities coordinated by Kelli Corrigan, director of residential life. The on-campus housing has expanded, and participation in the Homestay Program has likewise ballooned over the past four years. Karen True was one of the first parents to participate in the program, and she recently flew to Florida to visit Teddy Liang, the student she hosted for two years. “I wanted to make sure he was safely settled into his new school,” True said of Laing, a freshman at Florida Southern College. She first heard about the hosting opportunity three years ago from her daughter-in-law, Tracie, a math teacher who moved from Thornton Academy High School to the TA Middle School, on the same campus. “She decided she wanted to become involved in the dorm program, and she mentioned
they were looking for Homestay parents,” said True, who added that she loved the experience and would gladly host another student. “This young man did research online, found Thornton Academy, came to the US, all with no parental help,” she said. Laing lived in the dorm as a sophomore, then moved in with the Trues. “He had been in a boarding school in China, had never lived in a home environment.” True said her family loved Laing’s “great personality,” and he loved being part of their family. “He integrated well into the things that we did. He’d even come with me on location to shoot commercials,” said True, a freelance film and commercial television producer. Laing was planning to study business, at first, but is changing his major to study psychology. “He was fortunate enough to find international students at his college who speak Mandarin Chinese,” she said. “I became attached to Teddy and making sure his needs were met, as if he were my own child. I had to make sure his college experience is a positive one.” True’s two children both graduated from TA in the 1990’s, and Laing’s arrival reminded her fondly of those days. “Teddy’s roommate is John from Nashville TN,” Trus said. “I spoke with Teddy last night, and he said that he is having fun and has already made some friends he is hanging out with. If you knew Teddy and how shy he is you would realize what a big step this is. I can’t say enough nice things about Teddy. He truly became part of our family and brought us a great deal of joy. He only went home during summer vacations so he spent all holidays and vacation time with us too,” said True. “If my husband could have had the time off from work, he would have been in Florida too.” Story by Timothy Gillis Staff Columnist
