prominent as a result of Charles Woodbury opening his Summer School of Art in Perkins Cove in the early 1900’s. The popularity of the school, and the influx of artists, built Ogunquit’s tourism
to one of the top resort towns in the State of Maine. “Perkins Cove is the perfect location to hold this event as historically the cove was shared by both artists and fishermen,” says
Jen Lewer, an organizer of the event. In addition to seeing painters throughout Perkins Cove and the Marginal Way, the day will be filled with activities including live music, painting demonstrations, and historical art talks by members of the Woodbury family and Richard Perkins. Spectators are invited to watch the painters create their masterpieces outdoors throughout the day in the plein air tradition. There will be a “wet paint sale” and a display of their paintings in Perkins Cove 4-6 p.m. Highlighted from 9:30 a.m. See PAINT page 12...

KITTERY The Town of Kittery is working on a number of initiatives associated with climate change, including taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by multiple vehicles and facilities. This spring, the Town was awarded a grant to install four vehicle charging stations at Town Hall to support the charging of both municipal electric vehicles and public electric vehicles. Work to install the new charging stations is set to begin the week of August 30. The installation may include the removal of trees and brush within the Town Hall overflow parking lot area. Equipment operation in public areas is very difficult and safety is always a concern. The public is asked to drive slowly and take care during the installation.

Wreaths Across America Invites Mainers to Join in National Flag Waving Effort Responders and their families. Now more than ever, it is so important that we come together as Americans to show support for those whose service, courage, and sacrifice, help keep America free. WAA gathers every Tuesday morning 9-10 a.m. to raise the American flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance from the Freeport Flag Ladies Monument in Jonesboro, Maine, near the ‘tip lands’ where the balsam is harvested to make veterans’ wreaths for placement on National Wreaths
Across America Day each December. The monument, located on Route 1, was built by Wreaths Across America and Worcester Wreath Company in September 2019, after the Freeport Flag Ladies retired following 18 years of waving the American Flag in Freeport, each Tuesday since September 11, 2001. “Now, more than ever, it is so critical for communities to come together to Remember all those who served, and Honor their service and their family’s ser-

Wreaths Across America is the nonprofit organization best known for placing veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of our nation’s fallen at Arlington National Cemetery. However, the organization, in total, places more than 2 million sponsored veterans’ wreaths at over 2,750 participating locations nationwide and offers year-round programs in support of its mission to Remember, Honor, Teach. These programs include The Mobile Education Exhibit which will be visiting New Jersey, Maine, Delaware, and Maryland in September and Wreaths Across America Radio. Morning Show host Michael W. Hale will conduct live interviews and on-air tributes on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021, during a special edition broadcast of his morning show from 8-10 a.m. eastern. This year, National Wreaths Across America Day will be held on Saturday, December 18, at more than 2,750 participating locations across the country.

Please join me on September 7, as we wave the flag across America, like we do each Tuesday morning, and never forget that Freedom isn’t free, and it must be protected.” The flag-waving event will begin at 8:45 a.m. and conclude at 10:05 a.m. ET. In addition to the National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance and sharing of stories, the event will include four moments of silence, as follows: At 8:46 am, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, five hijackers took control of American Airlines Flight 11 and flew it into the heart of New York City and the northern facade of the World Trade Center’s North Tower (1 WTC); At 9:03 a.m., five other hijackers flew United Airlines Flight 175 into the southern facade of the South Tower (2 WTC); At 9:37 a.m., another five hijackers flew American Airlines flight 77 into the western facade

KFL Hosts “Maine Coast Scenery” Exhibit KENNEBUNK The Kennebunk Free Library announces its September 2021 “Maine Coast Scenery” exhibition of oil paintings created by Ernest Pevny. The public is invited to view the exhibit in the Speers Gallery starting September 1 at 112 Main Street, Kennebunk, when the gallery is not in use for library programs. Pevny began painting at the age of five in his homeland, Bratislava, Slovak Republic (formerly known as Czechoslovakia). He received his formal art training from prominent Slovak artist, Michael Tilner. He is also a medical doctor and a classically trained pianist. The beauty of nature provides inspiration for his landscape and still life paintings. All of his art work is done on location en plein air. Pevny’s technique is early impressionist and his earlier works included portraits. Library hours are Monday-Tuesday 9:30 a.m. - 8 p.m., Wednesday 12:30 p.m. - 8 p.m., Thursday-Friday 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Saturday 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. For more information, call 207-985-2173 or visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.

This route will serve all of C&J’s Terminal locations, including the Dover Terminal, and operate seven days a week. “The post-pandemic economy is rebounding, and people are on the move.

“Employers are bringing their teams back to the office under new hybrid models, students are returning to campus, and Fenway Park is filling up. We anticipate enough demand to make the case for sending passengers directly into Boston South Station, rather than routing them through the airport first” says Jalbert. C&J’s Dover Terminal will reopen on a limited basis as part of the service reintroduction. Dover services will be limited to five daily roundtrips to SouthStation. Logan Airport service will not be available from the Dover Terminal at this time. “We’re not there yet” says Jalbert. “Reintroducing service to Dover through the addition of direct South Station routes is the first step towards expanding options from that location.” The company’s Portsmouth and Seabrook locations
will each offer nine dailyroundtrips to South Station. Highly flexible online fares, usable on any South Station coach, will be available for prices as low as $12 per ride. “All travel and commute plans are tenuous in the pandemic environment, so we want to be fair and flexible with our riders” says Jalbert. C&J’s South Station service will offer contact-free boarding and spacious seating aboard its double-decker coaches. Pursuant to TSA law, all C&J passengers and staff are required to wear face coverings aboard the bus and inside termi-

Author, Comedian, Kelly Stone Debuts New Parenting Humor Book ARUNDEL Kelly Stone and her two sons are no strangers to sharing their life experiences publicly – from national news attention to Kelly’s work as a stand-up comedian. In her first book, “Mom, What’s is the Opposite of Guacamole?,” she shares the outrageous and oddly insightful observations she has recorded from her children over the years. As her boys contemplate why they can’t just leave third grade and buy a house, and why rich people have so many bushes in front of their homes, all readers – not just parents – will find solidarity, commiseration, and chuckles.

Museum Calls for Holiday Artisans KENNEBUNK – The Brick Store Museum is proud to support local artists and crafters through a variety of opportunities year-round. This fall especially, it calls for entries to two favorite holiday gatherings at the Museum: the All Souls’ Walk, with its new Halloween Fair offering on October 23; and the community-favorite Holiday Showcase running November 27-December 20. Local crafters, artists, chefs and creators are encouraged to apply. The Museum’s new Halloween offering comes during its 18th Annual All Souls’ Walk, a classic tour of Hope Cemetery occurring on October 23. Vendors are invited to apply to exhibit in the Museum’s courtyard (outdoors) during one of the most

popular events of the year. Halloween or autumn-themed art is encouraged, but not required. The second opportunity is the Museum’s Holiday Showcase, a month-long event inside the Museum’s galleries. Pieces will be displayed inside the Museum during the holiday showcase for sale to the public. The Museum’s typical admission fee will be complimentary during the Showcase (November – December) to encourage visitation. The event is not a “booth show,” but a display of local art and craft that is more like a retail pop-up store. Artists do not need to be on-site to sell their pieces; but are invited to help market the showcase by filming an “About the Artist” video with Museum staff so that they can speak to consumers directly about their work (via video!). Additionally, the Showcase will have a virtual component to help sell artists’ pieces through the Museum’s online store (artists may opt-out of this if they already sell online elsewhere); and showcase your work via social media. The Museum is dedicated to highlighting local arts and entrepreneurs, and offers these outlets to support local artists and the Museum in this impactful year.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Seashore Trolley Museum Gives Back to Eight Local Nonprofits KENNEBUNKPORT Seashore Trolley Museum recently wrapped its 2021 Ice Cream Night events, held every Wednesday in July and August. Traditionally, this event is a fundraiser for the museum’s general operating budget, but this season the museum wanted to pay it forward. Due to pandemic conditions that all nonprofits have had to adapt and overcome, Seashore Trolley Museum selected one nonprofit to receive 50% of the proceeds at each of the eight Ice Cream Nights. The benefiting nonprofits in 2021 were Southern Maine United Way, Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, York County Habitat for Humanity, the Kennebunk Rotary Club, The Center (Kennebunk), the Kennebunk Free Library, the Arundel Conservation Trust, and Kennebunkport Parks and Recreation. “We wanted the event to be as easy for the participating nonprofits as possible. All they had to do was to promote their specific event to their network of supporters. What ended up happening was even more remarkable,” said Katie Orlando, Executive Director. The eight nonprofits each decided to take it one step further, sending staff and volunteers
Online Auction Highlight of Foundation Event OGUNQUIT Bid on pre-paid luxury vacations in some of the most beautiful locations around the globe, as well as virtual, private conversations with A-list celebrities in the Tramuto Foundation’s “Remember, Reflect, Hope Gala”. Would you like to take in an exotic wildlife adventure? Flyfish with an experienced guide in the wilds of Alaska? Or enjoy a quiet break at a Maine lakeside retreat? You can start bidding on these items and more beginning September 4. The online event welcomes all bidders and supporters at https://event.gives/tf20thgala where you can find detailed descriptions of all auction items. In addition, all registered participants will be able to bid during the live auction, hosted by Ruth Ludwig Lind, CAI, BAS, AARE, ME lic.

to support the museum’s staff and volunteers at their events. Seashore and partner nonprofits were seen scooping ice cream together and greeting all guests. “At many of the events, the nonprofits brought a whole team of volunteers, dressed in their apparel. And they were promoting both of our organizations. It was really inspiring,” commented Orlando. “The Biddeford Walmart also donated 25 gallons of ice cream to support the event.” The museum donated over $4,000 to the partner nonprofits and is looking forward to hosting the event using the same format in 2022. In fact, they will add a ninth event, as there are nine Wednesdays in July and August next year. “We are already starting to solicit corporate sponsorships so that next year we can donate 100% of the proceeds to the nonprofit partners.” Even though the museum went forward with this event, they still anticipate a $91,000
revenue loss in 2021, due to losses in admission from the tour bus industry and youth and school groups not yet returning in full. “Even though we know we’ll most likely end the year in the red, holding this event and supporting these eight nonprofits was still very important to us. All of the local nonprofits have navigated through tremendous challenges during the pandemic. We want to show the community that we stand with them. That we are a resource for the three towns our 350-acre campus is located in--Kennebunkport, Arundel, and Biddeford—and our neighbor Kennebunk. And that without the support of these towns over our 82 years of history, Seashore Trolley Museum would not be surviving and thriving today.” Seashore Trolley Museum remains open on a reduced schedule this season, 10AM-5PM Wednesdays-Sundays, through Halloween, and hopes to host four weekends of holiday events this
December, again working with partner nonprofits. The museum is hosting more special events this fall, including Daniel Tiger Visits Seashore (Saturday/Sunday September 11 and 12); Pumpkin Patch Trolley (Fridays-Sundays from September 24 through October 10 and Indigenous Peoples’ Day), and Trolleyween (October 29-31). Tickets may be purchased at trolleymuseum.eventbrite.com. Face coverings are required on operating trolleys for all guests, ages five and above. Guests may request to be boarded on trolleys with physically distancing in place.

Lark Hotels Opens AWOL Kennebunkport KENNEBUNKPORT Lark Hotels, the premium development and management company with 30+ boutique hotels on the east and west coasts, announces the opening of AWOL Kennebunkport this summer. This second AWOL location (the first debuted in Provincetown in 2018) is located at 34 Maine Street (formerly the Maine Stay Inn), a short walk from Kennebunkport’s village green and vibrant Dock Square. The retreat features the historic Captain Walker house with six suites, eleven new cabin suites, and grounds featuring centuries old pine, elm, balsam fir, and birch trees, along with wild Maine blueberry bushes, ferns and other native flora. Nestled away in one of Kennebunkport’s most historic neighborhoods, AWOL KPT is just a brief stroll to the harbor and lively Dock Square, and a short bike ride to several local beaches, yet it feels as if it is tucked into the woods miles from the village.
A departure from the expected and traditional Kennebunkport accommodation, AWOL offers a relaxed modern approach to the Maine experience by inviting guests to relish in the serenity of escape but also the opportunity to be part of a collective experience; a chance to combine solitude with connection. The rustic cabin exteriors, juxtaposed with the modern interiors, featuring all natural materials, helps accentuate the natural beauty of the wooded setting. AWOL is a juxtaposition of a quiet retreat and sense of serenity while at the same time
Ribbon Cutting for Solar Array at Take Flight Aerial Adventure Park KITTERY A ribbon cutting to celebrate Take Flight’s new 27 kilowatt (84-panel) solar array took place Tuesday, August 24. The array will deliver more than 33,673 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually to Take Flight annually, for a fraction of the cost of grid power. It will also reduce Take Flight’s carbon footprint by more than 52,610 pounds of CO2 per year – the equivalent of planting 395 tree seedlings. After purchasing the bordering 28 acres of land last year, Take Flight is now laser-focused on sustainability for their expanded operations. Their goal is to provide education programming for kids and adults to teach them about the local ecosystems. “Besides the obvious ben-
efits of going solar for us here at Take Flight, this will provide us the opportunity to educate our guests and clients about what solar programs can do for them and their community and the planet,” said Take Flight CEO and owner Charlie Williams. “Our mission will be to educate students in hopes that they will see just how valuable our resources are and how fragile our planet is, and that going solar is one way to make a difference. And for our adult programs it will be an opportunity to not only educate but directly connect what we have with the folks that can make it happen for them so they can in turn make a difference.” Take Flight Aerial Adventure Park is located at 506 Blue Star Memorial Highway (Route 1) in Kittery.
being only steps from the vibrant core of Kennebunkport. Onsite cabin suites offer indoor fireplaces; some offer Japanese soaking tubs. The hotel’s historic main house features porch suites, fireplace suites and a deluxe cupola suite featuring access to a light-filled sitting area in the original observatory overlooking Kennebunkport. Summer room rates at AWOL Kennebunkport start at $329 for a king suite. Some of the property’s cabin options are pet-friendly, with exterior entrances for easy coming and going. In addition to its convenient positioning blocks from Dock Square, amenities at AWOL Kennebunkport include complimentary breakfasts, personalized concierge services, private decks, working fireplaces, Japanese soaking tubs, bicycles and beach chairs for guest use, and more.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Honey is a beautiful, longhaired, five-year-old kitty who lost her home and deserves a happy, welcoming person or family to share her life. She should be cherished, as she is a gentle, loving soul who enjoys being petted, held and talked to quietly. She had lived in assisted living with her human companion, so she’s most comfortable in quiet, calm environments. Honey has shown that she doesn’t feel safe around other cats. We don’t know how she would be around dogs. We know for sure that she would be happiest in a peaceful, calm home that shows lots of love and respect to animals. She’s such a sweet, pretty girl we know it’ll be love at first sight when you meet her. Please apply online at www. safehavenhumanesociety.org or call 207-646-1611 for more information. You can see the kitties available for adoption on our website under the Adoptable Pets link. You’ll see photos and personal info about each. Donations update: Our shop is returning to just one day of donations each week – Satur-
days from noon to 3 p.m. – please do not come after 3. Most of you respect our requests not to donate leftover yard sale items, and we appreciate that. But we’re still receiving too many unsaleable items. Having to handle and dispose of unwanted, unsalable junk costs us time and money. Please don’t make our work harder. If you have something that you absolutely cannot bring on Saturday, please call our thrift shop at 207-216-9169 and we will return your call with options that may work for you. Safe Haven’s thrift vintage antique shop, 1784 Post Road in Wells, sells a huge variety of items for everyone in the family including your furry friends! Currently we have an abundance of books, so please hold off on donating them. We’re happy to receive home décor, jewelry, tasteful Halloween and Autumn items, Christmas décor, small furnishings, antiques and vintage anything! Safe Haven is an animal rescue and shelter, but we do not need your old towels or blankets for the animals. Many other area shelters would be happy to get them, especially those who must bathe dogs. You’re kind to
offer them to us, but we have no use for them. We only rescue kitties... and kitties hate baths! It’s been a wonderful summer. We’re sorry to see it end. We thank all of you for your summer support and look forward to welcoming you back this fall and winter. Yes, our shop is open year round, and your patronage is appreciated and essential. Thanks again!

Maine Ranks #4 in the Country for Pet Lifesaving STATEWIDE - Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization, released its sixth annual pet lifesaving dataset, which gives a national overview of the number of dogs and cats that enter and exit shelters each year. It also includes a state-bystate no-kill* priority ranking of which Maine is #4 for pet lifesaving. Best Friends measures shelter lifesaving with a metric called “save rate.” A 90 percent save rate is the nationally recognized benchmark to be considered “nokill,” factoring that approximately 10 percent of pets who enter shelters have medical or behavioral circumstances that warrant humane euthanasia rather than killing for other reasons, such as lack of space. In 2020, 17,728 dogs and cats entered Maine shelters and 16,389 were saved, giving the state an aggregate save rate of 92.45%. Last year, 83.33% of state shelters measured above the 90% benchmark. Those that are below it needed to save 199 more healthy or treatable animals to make Maine no-kill (a state is considered to be no-kill when every brick-and-mortar shelter serving and/or located within the state has a save rate of 90% or higher). By comparison, in 2019 21,484 animals entered state shelters and 19,708 were saved for an aggregate save rate of 91.73%. At the time, 82.86% of shelters were
no-kill and those that were below it needed to save 293 more animals. Nationally, about 347,000 cats and dogs were killed in America’s shelters in 2020, down from 625,000 in 2019. This is the largest yearly reduction in dogs and cats killed in the nation’s shelters (44.5 percent) to date, putting the nation at an 83 percent save rate. Best Friends has the most comprehensive national data on sheltered animals, representing an estimated 93 percent of all sheltered dogs and cats in the country. “Since we announced our
no-kill goal the number of cats and dogs killed in shelters has decreased by 76 percent, down from about 1.5 million in 2016. This is incredible progress, but we must never lose sight that there are still over 950 cats and dogs killed every day just because they do not have a safe place to call home,” Castle said. Best Friends Animal Society is a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters by 2025. Founded in 1984, Best Friends is a pioneer in the no-kill movement and has helped reduce the

White Pine Founders Thoroughly Honored YORK Over 60 people braved hurricane-like conditions on Sunday afternoon to attend the ceremony at the Long Sands Beach bathhouse to honor the founders of White Pine Programs, the Gardoqui family. Though the weather made the planned beach party not possible, it did not dampen the spirit of the crowd and the speakers. Dave Cohen spoke as a former
Nautilus Solar Enlists York Housing as a Subscriber to its Community Project YORK Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC (Nautilus), one of the most established long-term owners and operators of community solar projects throughout North America, announces that York Housing, a distinctive and affordable senior community in Maine, has become a non-profit subscriber to its Farmingdale Community Solar project. The 7.5MW project will provide a clean energy choice to 136 Senior Housing units currently owned and managed by York Housing. “We are excited York Housing has chosen to be a subscriber to one of our community solar projects,” said Eric LaMora, Director of Community Solar at Nautilus. “Their mission of providing safe, clean, affordable housing to older active adults perfectly aligns with our vision of creating a clean, sustainable future by providing thousands of residents an equitable and affordable renewable energy choice.” Accessibility to the benefits of solar energy has always been a barrier, particularly for this most vulnerable communities. That’s where community solar projects come in. Thanks to Maine’s Net Energy Billing (NEB) program, which was amended in June 2019 by Governor Mills, community solar makes it possible for every Mainer, especially low- and moderate-income consumers, to participate in and benefit from renewable energy. Community solar projects are small-scale solar installations typically located on brownfield developments, farms, or even large rooftops. The property owner can earn income by leasing the land for solar panels, and community residents, local businesses and non-profit organizations can choose to subscribe free
of charge to the project, earning electrical credits on their energy bill for their portion of the power produced. This credit equates to a guaranteed discount of up to 15% on their electric bill. No rooftop installations are required and there is no financial obligation to receive the solar power benefits. Solar energy has the power to help tackle some of the most pressing crises our society faces today: economic stability, public health and climate change. By creating jobs, lowering consumer electricity bills, reducing respiratory and cardiac health issues, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy projects are a win-win for Maine and its people. Any residential Central Maine Power utility customer is eligible to subscribe to one of the community solar projects through Nautilus with no upfront cost, no long-term commitment and no cancellation fees. The Nautilus team is currently inviting customers to subscribe to one of its community solar projects located in Androscoggin, Kennebec, Knox, Oxford, Somerset, and York counties. Spots are limited, so those who are interested in subscribing to one of the community solar farms should sign up at www. nautilussolar.com/communitysolar/ Nautilus Solar is also partnering with community-based organizations across Maine to spread the benefits of community solar. By becoming a community partner, your organization will receive $100 for each member that enrolls using your referral code. If your organization is interested in becoming a Community Partner, contact partner@ nautilussolar.com.

York High School grad Billy Bachelder then reflected on the meaning of the White Pine experience to young adults. Kate and Dan Gardoqui were both able to share their thoughts about the
building of White Pine and its impact not only on the community, but on the Gardoquis as a family. Though not in attendance, Maine’s two US Senators, Angus King and Susan Collins, as well as US Representative Chellie Pingree, were able to send letters which acknowledged the tremendous legacy of White Pine and the positive contribution the organization has had to the State of Maine.
Hands-on Firefighter Training at State Facility BRUNSWICK Training to be a firefighter requires commitment. At the Maine Fire Service Institute (MFSI), leaders also understand that the right training equipment, along with local support, is also needed. As Jim Graves relates, “In Maine, it takes a state to train a firefighter.” Graves, the Director of Fire Training at MFSI, knows the critical value of having fire chiefs throughout the state support the goal of MFSI. “These valued fire chiefs are helping advance our mission of training while we help them get their personnel prepared to serve their local communities,” says Graves, a certified firefighter with more than 30 years experience. Located in Brunswick, MFSI is dedicated to the quality of education firefighters receive. To that end, MFSI is the State Certification Agency for Maine. MFSI tests both didactic and psychomotor skills, and issues ProBoard Certifications in a variety of areas. Live Fire Training When it comes to live fire training and skill exams to meet the job performance requirements of NFPA 1001, Graves and his ...HISTORY from page 15 our area.

team often use the Assistant Fire Chief model training towers from Fire Facilities Inc. that are located in Farmington and Yarmouth, Maine. “We find the Assistant Fire Chief model very efficient in conducting these drills,” says Graves. “It provides as much real life experience as can be created in a controlled setting.” The Assistant Fire Chief from Fire Facilities features a fire training tower, residential section, and burn room annex. The residential section and annex each offer a burn room for multiple training scenarios. The fourstory tower and residential section provide many opportunities for a variety of training exercises including laddering, rappelling, roof penetration, and high-angle rescue operations. Maximizing Training Structure In Yarmouth, Chief Michael S. Robitaille has been in command since 2012. The addition of the Assistant Fire Chief tower in 2020 deeply enhanced the training capabilities for his firefighters. “We train about 500 people a year on the Assistant Fire Chief,” says Robitaille, a firefighter since 1983. “The unit is active about 1,600 hours annually. This was the second training model of its type in the state of Maine. We’re continually maximizing its use and sharing the facility with others.” To date, the facility in Yarmouth has been used for FBI
entry training and various K-9 accelerant training. The Assistant Fire Chief is a shared unit run by the non-profit Coastal Mutual Aid Training Association, which consists of 11 towns. The training tower is used by another 15 communities that pay for time to train. “This training facility fulfills our needs in a multitude of ways,” says Robitaille. “The burn room on the first floor has already had nearly 100 burn evolutions. The second floor burn room has had about 25 burn evolutions. “We are able to conduct better fire behavior burns in this unit by monitoring the temperatures and providing better instructional opportunities in larger rooms. The second floor allows us to attack with a standpipe.” Quality Training in Maine As part of the training center’s function, MFSI uses the Yarmouth training facility regularly for tests. “There are 35,385 square miles that make up the great state of Maine,” says MFSI’s Graves. “Our organization covers the entire state. The plan is to see several more fire training facilities constructed around Maine to meet increasing training demands. Fire Facilities, Inc. (FFI) manufactures a full line of steel fire training structures engineered to withstand real-life firefighting conditions. From mobile units to burn rooms to high-rise towers, FFI training models are available in a multitude of configurations.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, I look forward to your articles because they are so helpful to me. My problem is that I can’t safely eject a thumb drive from my computer. My son and my sister who are both really computer smart can’t figure out why it doesn’t give me this option. I have had my computer since it was new and have never been able to do anything but just pull out any thumb drive I put in. Can you help me with this please? Linda Dear Linda, While I can’t tell you why you don’t have the option to eject your thumb drive without actually taking a look at the computer, I can give you some suggestions. First, it is not a good idea to just pull out the thumb drive while the computer is running. If you have information on the drive, it could become corrupted by doing that. Second, when I occasionally get a drive that won’t let me eject it, (I keep getting a message that the drive is busy and can’t be safely removed) I simply shut down the computer, remove the USB device and then turn the computer back on. This is a safe way to remove the thumb drive, and for me it is often faster than waiting for the drive to be ready.
Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I look forward to your Emails. Thank you. How do I turn off the blue light on windows 10? I have found out it is not good for your eyes. Thank you, Madeleine Dear Madeleine, It is actually pretty simple to turn off the blue light in Windows 10 using a feature called, Night Light. Here is how: 1. Click on the start icon usually located in the lower-left corner of your screen. 2. Click on the gear icon located in the left hand column of the start menu. A, “Windows Settings” dialog box will open. 3. In the Windows Settings, click on, “System”. 4. In the left column, click “Display”. 5. Under “Color” in the right side, click the switch under “Night light” to turn it on. 6. Once you have turned, Night Light on, you can click the link for “Night light settings” to select when you want Night Light turned on, and how light or dark you want the screen to be. You can even have it automatically turn on at sunset, and back off at sunrise if you want. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady,
Made Dizzy By COVID-19 Data? As governors begin to make decisions about reopening the economy, Americans may wonder how their state government makes decisions about when to return to normal. One problem for the average person: How to decipher the multitudes of data about COVID-19 and evaluate whether the country or any particular state is – or is not – flattening the curve. “It’s easy to find tons of data online with charts and graphs, but all those numbers can be overwhelming,” says Sharon Daniels, chief executive officer of Arria (www.arria. com), which specializes in a form of artificial intelligence known as Natural Language Generation (NLG). “You see a line on a graph, but what is it telling you?” Daniels’ company is among those trying to simplify that complex chore for Americans, using artificial intelligence to transform that raw data into an easy-to-understand narrative. To this end, Arria is involved with two online initiatives – the COVID-19 Live Report and the COVID-19 U.S. Tracking Report – that give Americans access to NLG as they try to grasp all the information coming their way from scientists, government officials, and the media. Each of these free dashboards allows anyone – from
government leaders to journalists to citizens – to review up-todate data along with critical insights transformed into writing by Arria’s NLG software. The software uses language analytics and computational linguistics to “think” like a writer, pulling the most important information to See DATA page 24...

I understand Microsoft no longer supports Photo Gallery. What is a photo enhancement program that works with Windows 10? Thank you, Patricia Dear Patricia, Finding a replacement for Windows Photo Gallery really depends on what you have been using the program for. Here are some options, and what they are best used for. First, is a program that I have used for years now, Irfanview. It is an image viewer that also has some basic editing abilities. I first started using Irfanview because it was much faster than the Windows image program at the time (probably Windows 95). If you want to quickly go through images on your computer, Irfanview will quickly go from one image to the next using only your spacebar (and backspace key if you want to go back to a previous image). You can also use it to quickly rotate, crop or resize an image. If you are looking for something more like photoshop, there is Gimp. Gimp is open source software, so there is no cost. There are also quite a few tutorials on the web site for using it. While Gimp does have a learning curve, it is a very powerful image editor. If you are looking for a way to organize your photos, XnView might be what you are looking for. While I have not used it, XnView is free for noncommercial use and it allows you to create categories and ratings for your pictures. I simply use File Explorer to organize my photos. I create folders with the date or name of event and store my photos in those folders. This allows me to browse through many years worth of photos and find what

I am looking for rather quickly. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have Windows 10 and Microsoft Office. I have tried to send a document via email from Word. I get a message that states there is no email program associated to perform the action. Please install an email program. When I go to my Default Apps and then to email, Google Chrome appears and I am unable to change that. I have Gmail. How can I fix this problem? Carole Dear Carole, When you use an online email program like Gmail, sending Word documents directly from Word will not work. What you need to do is save your document, then go to Gmail, open a new email message and attach your document to that message. This will send the word docu-

ment as an attachment. The reason that you are getting the message stating that there is no email program associated to perform the action is because online email platforms are not recognized by the computer as an email program. You use your web browser to access the email, and all the computer can access is the web browser, not the email interface on the web page. This is a very common question because even big companies like Xfinity have moved to web-based email instead of providing support for email programs. If you are looking for a better solution than the one listed above, you can usually set up online email programs to work with an email program like Mozilla Thunderbird, which is recognized by Windows as an email program.

FINANCE & CAREER $1M Invested in Agric. Startups Approval of $475M for Shipyard
KITTERY Farm Credit’s FarmStart, a unique program that invests working capital in Northeast agriculture, commercial fishing and forest products ventures showing promise of success, recently announced it has invested more than $1 million in beginning Maine agriculture and fishing businesses since 2014. One of those recent investments was with Abraham Kann, owner of To Heal Earth (THE) Farm in Kittery. Abraham and his partner, Kate, are beginning farmers focusing on no-till organic vegetable farming. THE Farm grows market garden vegetables like baby greens and lettuce, along with more diverse varieties such as tatsoi, an Asian green variety, and sidhu negi, a Japanese leek. “Although this is our first year of farming, we had everything planned out,” said Abraham. “We were just missing the startup capital to jumpstart our business.” Traditional banks wouldn’t lend to Abraham because of his lack of experience and production history. After researching farm loans, he was referred to Kathryn Bisson, a Farm Credit East FarmStart advisor. “The more we talked to Kathryn, the more it seemed like FarmStart was the best option for someone just starting out,” continued Abraham. “FarmStart and Farm Credit East offer a great support system, and it’s no secret that they’re investing in novice farmers, which made us feel very comfortable.” “As a FarmStart advisor, I have a greater advisory role with FarmStart customers than with traditional lending
relationships,” said Kathryn. “I assist in the preparation of business plans, the tracking and follow-up of management goals and objectives, while also helping to connect customers with other Farm Credit East resources.” Kathryn added that Farm Credit staff can identify and connect FarmStart entrepreneurs to additional resources, such as Maine’s SCORE program, which provides free assistance to small businesses. “Allyn Lamb from SCORE Maine worked through business planning and cash flow budgeting with Abraham and Kate during the application process,” said Kathryn. “The FarmStart program is unique in its focus working with young and beginning entrepreneurs to establish successful businesses,” said Samantha Stoddard, Farm Credit East senior loan officer and FarmStart investment manager. “The combination of working capital
and the valuable insight provided by FarmStart advisors like Kathryn provides startup businesses with much improved odds of long-term success. Abraham and Kate will benefit greatly from the expertise of FarmStart staff and the flexibility of repayment terms.” FarmStart, LLP is a joint initiative of Farm Credit East, Yankee Farm Credit and CoBank to fulfill Farm Credit’s long-term commitment to support a vibrant, entrepreneurial northeast agricultural community. The program invests working capital of up to $75,000 to help beginning northeast farm, forest products and commercial fishing businesses and cooperatives become operational. Since its first investment approved in August 2006, FarmStart has invested more than $15 million with over 300 entrepreneurs across the Northeast. For more information, go to www.farmcrediteast.com.
WASHINGTON, D.C. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) announced the full House Appropriations Committee’s FY2022 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies (MilCon/ VA) spending bill provides $279.9 billion in total funding, an increase of more than 10 percent above 2021. Pingree, as a member of the MilCon/VA Subcommittee, secured $475 million for the long-awaited dry dock modernization project at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY). “I am proud to have successfully worked with my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee to secure much-needed funding to modernize the dry dock in Kittery. The Shipyard is a tremendous asset for the Navy and improvements to its infrastructure are essential,” Congresswoman
Expanded Workforce Training AUGUSTA More than 75 Maine businesses and industry associations have signed agreements with the Maine Community College System (MCCS) that provide their employees with expanded workforce training opportunities and discounted tuition at the state’s seven community colleges. “Working with businesses throughout the state, we have realized our ability to meet their needs increases exponentially when we build deep, lasting relationships. So we developed this Compact and businesses didn’t waste any time signing up,” said MCCS President David Daigler. “We are all focused on investing
in Maine workers, filling job vacancies for skilled workers, and building a strong economy, particularly as we recover from the impacts of the pandemic.” The business partners, representing almost 100,000 workers, have signed the Maine Workforce Development Compact with Maine Quality Centers (MQC,) the workforce training arm of the Maine Community College System. Under the Compact: MQC will provide employees of Compact members with entry-level and professional development training; MQC will provide employees of Compact members with scholarships and discounted

It will absolutely make a difference.” Compact members include MaineHealth, L.L.Bean, Hannaford, General Dynamics Bath Iron Works, Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, Maine Medical Association and HospitalityMaine.

Pingree said. “These investments in our nation’s military infrastructure, including our public shipyards, and climate resiliency are crucial to ensuring a strong national security and will go a long way to ensure America is ready to respond to future challenges.” Highlights of the bill include: Enhancing naval readiness with critical investments in infrastructure upgrades at the Navy’s public shipyards, including much-needed funding for the ongoing Dry Dock Modernization project at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard; Supporting veterans with investments in health care, including targeted investments that advance women’s health, mental health, and homelessness assistance; Prioritizing the needs of military families with strong investments to construct critical facilities on military installations including family housing and child care centers, and build, repair, and retrofit Veterans Affairs facilities; Protecting national security with investments to respond to the challenges posed by Russian and Chinese aggression; Confronting the climate crisis with increased climate change and resiliency funding to help military installations adapt to rising sea levels and worsening natural disasters. panies are also taking advantage of the Compact benefits. More than a dozen Compact members have fewer than 50 employees, including Union River Lobster Pot, Mariner Beverages and Allenfarm Fence Company. “We are very excited to partner with Maine companies, industry associations and chambers of commerce that are literally signing on the dotted line to help their workers and members get fast, free, tailored training — and a shot at a low-cost college degree,” Daigler said. Maine’s seven community colleges have the lowest tuition and fees in New England and serve more than 29,000 individuals a year through degree programs, customized training, and opportunities for lifelong learning. Maine Quality Centers (MQC) is the workforce training arm of the MCCS, supporting no- or lowcost workforce training across the state.

Funding for Clean Energy, American Legion Transportation, Housing Secured Scholarship Awarded
WASHINGTON, D.C. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) voted to pass the Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies bill, as well as the Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies bill. Pingree secured increased funding to combat the climate crisis, invest in safe housing and modernized transportation, create thousands of good-paying jobs, as well as $2,025,000 in funding for local projects in her district. “The bills passed by the House Appropriations Committee today will fundamentally shift our nation’s future. By making historic investments in the deployment of renewable energy, transportation modernization, energy efficiency, good-paying jobs, and economic development in our communities, these bills will help us to build back from the pandemic and take advantage of the opportunity to transition to a clean energy economy and promote a more equitable future,” said Pingree. “I’m particularly proud to have secured more than $2 million in local project funding for Maine’s 1st Congressional District. This funding will directly infuse the area with much-needed capital to improve our communities.” In the Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies bill, Pingree secured $2,025,000 in Community Project Funding, member-directed spending for projects with the highest need in Maine communities. Details of local projects include: York County Shelter Programs’ Community Resource Center: $325,000. This funding will allow York County Shelter Programs to purchase and rehabilitate a property that is centrally located in Sanford to use as a one-stop Community Resource Center. The site will provide meals for over 3,000 low-income and food insecure households each month, financial counseling services and eviction prevention for over 300 households per month, application assistance for mainstream resources for over 100 households per month, community AA and NA meetings that will support the large number of community residents in recovery, community policing resources that will bring more outreach and security to the community,
community coordination of resources for more than 50 homeless households per month, and vocational training programs that will improve employment opportunities for dozens of trainees each year. Eastern Trails Management District planning project: $700,000. Funding will support the engineering design of an 11-mile section of planned multi-use recreation trail and active
transportation corridor between Kennebunk, Wells, and North Berwick. The proposed project will support the development of an active transportation corridor and recreational trail that offers significant social, economic and environmental benefits. In 2018, the existing 22 miles of off-road trail from South Portland to Kennebunk had 250,000 users and provided millions of dollars in local community investment.
Bill to Help Access Tax Assistance Becomes Law AUGUSTA On Thursday, July 15, a bill from Sen. Eloise Vitelli, D-Arrowsic, became law without the governor’s signature. LD 1651, “An Act To Support Working Families through Outreach and Education about Tax Credits for Persons of Low Income,” will help more Mainers get the most out of their tax return by providing support to CA$H Maine. “So many Mainers who need help the most don’t understand what resources and tax credits are available to assist them. For example, the
first payments of the expanded Child Tax Credit went out the same day this bill became law. This program will lift an estimated 10,000 Maine children out of poverty. But families need to know that they qualify and what this program can do for them,” said Sen. Vitelli. “Luckily, CA$H Maine is here to provide quality support to Maine families and to help them plan for the future. The funding this new law provides to CA$H is essential to helping hardworking Mainers reach their financial goals.”
Protecting Rights of Public Employees Law
AUGUSTA A bill from Sen. Ned Claxton, D-Auburn to guarantee that certain public employees remain eligible for merit increases in the case of a contract expiring before a new one is agreed upon has become law. LD 824, “An Act To Extend the Protections Provided to State Employees upon the Expiration of Labor Contracts to Other Public Sector Employees,” became law without the governor’s signature. “This new law will help make sure that hardworking
employees still receive the benefits and pay increases they’re entitled to and have earned, even if contract negotiations run long. It’s a sensible measure that will protect workers and their families across the state,” said Sen. Claxton. LD 824 requires that when a municipal, judicial or public higher education employee’s contract expires and before a new contract is agreed to, they must remain eligible for merit increases that were included under the previous contract.
KENNEBUNK For the second year in a row, American Legion, Webber-Lefebvre Post #74 in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport Post #159 have joined together to provide a $1500.00 scholarship for an exceptional and worthy senior graduating from Kennebunk High School. Kennebunk High School (KHS) is part of Regional School Unit #21 that serves students from the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel. Out of a group of 25 highly qualified and laudable applicants, the American Legion posts are proud to select Quinn Battagliese as the recipient of this year’s scholarship.

As amended, LD 1651 makes financial tools, education and resources available to more Mainers by providing funding to CA$H Maine. “Central to CA$H Maine’s services is free tax preparation. From 2003-2020 CA$H Maine has filed more than 53,000 federal and state tax returns and helped clients claim more than $80 million worth of federal tax refunds including more than $28 million in Earned Income Tax Credit,” said Janet Smith with CA$H Maine, in testimony supporting the bill. Though the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC, is worth an average of $2,461 per filer nationwide, about 20 percent of those eligible fail to
take advantage of it every year. That’s money left on the table, due in large part to a lack of awareness and the complexities of eligibility, with onethird of the EITC eligible population changing every year.

...DATA from page 21 the top of the narrative, providing critical insights, and giving meaning to the tabulated reports and visualizations. Just as an example, a resident of Pulaski County, KY, who checked in on April 23, 2020 would have learned that in their community the previous day “there were 2 new cases and no deaths reported. During the
past 7 days, cases have increased by 7, which means the seven-day rolling average for cases is 1.” No human wrote those sentences. They were penned automatically by the NLG software. As Arria and others do their part to help Americans work their way through the sea of information, there is evidence that such assistance is both needed and wanted: A Gallup poll shows lots of confusion about the state of the
virus in the U.S. with Americans reaching no consensus on how they think things now stand; 41 percent say the situation is getting better, 39 percent say it is getting worse, and 20 percent say it is staying the same. A 2017 study of the U.S. public’s understanding of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa found that most people are good at assessing risk when information is communicated accurately and effectively. That
study also found that Americans want accurate and honest information, even if that information might worry people. Knowing the facts is one way people can reduce their stress level during the pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control. “When you share accurate information about COVID-19,” the CDC reports, “You can help make people feel less stressed.” “The sheer flood of data
and information we are seeing daily about the pandemic is nearly impossible to process without the help of technology,” Daniels says. “People want information that will help them understand what’s happening, particularly in the areas where they live. But if that information is too confusing and complicated, they are going to remain confused and scared – wondering what to do, how to help, or how to keep their families safe.”

Maine’s Community Colleges Require COVID-19 Vaccination for All Students this Fall AUGUSTA Starting this fall, the Maine Community College System (MCCS) will require all students attending classes in person to be vaccinated against COVID-19, due to the recent surge in cases attributed to the delta variant. The MCCS Board of Trustees recently unanimously approved the updated COVID19 safety protocol. “The safety of our faculty, staff and students has been our
top priority throughout the pandemic. The latest information about the delta variant makes it clear we must require vaccinations to keep our community as safe as possible,” MCCS President David Daigler said. The new protocol, which will be in effect for the 202122 academic year, applies to any student taking classes or training at any MCCS facility, including off-campus learning facilities. Students must show proof

that they have received at least one dose of a vaccine prior to the first day of their in-person classes. Students who have only had their first shot when classes begin must provide proof of the second shot no later than 30 days after the date of the first dose. The first fall semester classes start on August 30. System officials are beginning discussions with representatives of employee bargaining units in hopes of adopting a similar vaccination policy for staff and faculty. Precision Machining Technology Instructor Dean Duplessis said he personally supports a vaccine mandate for students, and for MCCS faculty and staff. “It’s about workplace safety and the safety of our entire community,” said Duplessis, who teaches at Northern Maine Community College. “My own personal belief is that it works both ways: If students are going to be required to vaccinate in order to attend classes, then we should follow suit and have the same requirements. We should do this together.” Currently, masks are required indoors at Maine’s community colleges. The mask mandate will remain in place, even for vaccinated students. MCCS officials will continue to assess the situation and review the masking mandate. Students who are fully remote and will not be entering campus buildings for any purpose will not need proof of
vaccination. Approximately 45 percent of courses are being delivered remotely this fall.

Red Cross Urges Eligible Donors to Help End Critical Need for B STATEWIDE As fall approaches, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to help end the ongoing critical need for blood and kick off the season with a blood or platelet donation. The Red Cross needs donors of all blood types to give now and help ensure lifesaving transfusions are on the sidelines for those who rely on them. The Red Cross is concerned that the rise in COVID-19 cases due to the delta variant and a potentially active hurricane season may further challenge the ability to collect and meet hospital demand. In recent weeks, the Red Cross has seen blood donor turnout decline by nearly 10% while hospital demand continues to outpace donations. This decline is believed to be due to multiple reasons, including the continued effects of the pandemic on blood drive cancellations and donor availability as well as

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families.

Health & Fitness College Students Urged to Protect Themselves on Campus This Fall This fall, college students are returning to campus, many for the first time in over a year, marking the start of new classes, new friends, and new living spaces. Through their annual Campus Fire Safety for Students campaign, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and The Center for Campus Fire Safety (CCFS) are working together to ensure living spaces are as safe as possible for students heading back to school this September. Campus Fire Safety Month raises awareness about the threat of fire among college students in both on- and off-campus housing, and puts relevant information in the hands of students, parents, and campus housing administrators and staff who are encouraged to take proactive measures to protect themselves, family members, and peers from fire. Many of the resources, including videos, checklists, infographics, and tips sheets, are designed to be shared through social media, school newspapers, college websites, and posted in dormitory common areas. According to NFPA research, from 2015-2019, there were estimated annual averages of 3,840 structure fires, 29 civilian injuries, and $11 million in direct property damage in dormitories, fraternities, sororities, and other related properties. Cooking equipment was involved in nearly nine out of 10 reported fires in dormitorytype properties (87 percent). September and October have the highest incidences for fires in dormitories, and fires are
also more common during the weekend and weekday evenings 5-9 p.m. NFPA and CCFS offer these tips to students to help reduce the risk of fire and save lives: Know and practice the building’s evacuation plan, as well as alternate routes; Cook in intended areas only, and never leave cooking equipment unattended when in use, even briefly; Test smoke alarms monthly in an apartment or a house. Ensure smoke alarms are installed in all sleeping areas, outside of all sleeping areas, and on every level of the apartment or house. Never remove or disable smoke alarms; Keep combustible items away from heat sources and never overload electrical outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Many fires are caused by portable light and heat sources, like space heaters and halogen
Flu Shots Available in All Maine Walmart Pharmacies YORK COUNTY Walmart is helping Maine residents stay healthy this flu season by making it easier than ever to get low-cost vaccinations in all Walmart pharmacies through walk-up and community flu shot clinics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone older than six months receive a flu shot each year. Further, the CDC recommends a COVID-19 vaccination for everyone over 12, especially as cases are on the rise. Walmart pharmacies across the country offer both vaccines, and lamps; Keep common areas and hallways free of possessions and debris. Never block exit routes. For more resources and information online about the Campus Fire Safety for Students campaign, visit www.nfpa.org/ campus.
customers can receive a low-cost flu and free COVID-19 vaccine at the same time, if they choose. “It’s important we don’t let our guard down with our health this fall. Between COVID-19 vaccines and the annual flu shot, we know people may be experiencing ‘vaccine fatigue,’ but these preventative measures have never been more vital to keeping our communities healthy,” Del Sloneker, senior vice president and chief operating officer, Health and Wellness said. “It’s on all of us to do our part and is just another way we’re making it simple to live better, healthier lives.” Walmart’s flu shots are administered by certified pharmacists and healthcare professionals who understand local health needs. In addition to walk-in availability, Walmart offers a variety of initiatives, making it easy to get vaccinated while fol-
lowing COVID-19 safety protocols. These events will make it quick and convenient for customers to get flu shots in stores in Maine. Walmart is a center of well-being in the communities it serves and has everything busy families need to live better, healthier, lives this flu season. This includes a team of pharmacists who can answer any medication related questions, COVID-19 tests, prescription and over-the-counter medication, as well as a variety of immunizations, including COVID-19, flu, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), varicella (chicken pox), HPV, tetanus, whooping cough (TDAP) and more.

For Those Dealing With Loss, Important Tips on Grieving Grief comes in many shapes and sizes. No one person grieves the same way. For many, the grieving process can be all too overwhelming...slowly taking hold of other aspects of their life (including mental and physical health). Thankfully, there are healthy ways to manage and understand the grieving process while ensuring overall wellbeing. Dr. Teralyn Sell, Psychotherapist and brain health expert, elaborates on how the grieving process can impact mental health and how to better manage it. “Grieving is a natural process that the majority of us will experience at least once in our lives. However, there are different types of grief that may have a bigger impact on our emotional wellbeing. The grieving process can take place when any type of loss occurs from death to divorce and everything in between. The key here is to recognize when over time you don’t feel like you are recovering very well and might need some kind of mental health intervention. Additionally, some people who have suffered unexpected traumatic grief may benefit from mental health treatment right away to avoid chronic suffering,” says Dr. Sell.
Hydration Awareness: 10 Ways to Be ‘Water Wise’
Here are the top tips that Dr. Teralyn Sell recommends to better equip ourselves and our loved ones for the grieving process and the toll that it can take: Tip #1: There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Though we talk about the stages of grief as being linear, it is not. You can go through the stages and bounce around a little bit. That is ok. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. So let go of any griefrelated expectations and allow yourself to grieve how you want, when you want. Tip #2: Take care of your physical health needs. When we get lost in our emotions, we often forget to do some very basic things like eating and sleeping. It is important to remind yourself to do those basic things as a way to fight off chronic stress. Additionally, blood sugar dysregulation will create an emotional roller coaster or exemplify the one you are already on. Tip #3: Be emotional support rather than a fixer. If your loved one is grieving, being an emotional support to them is key. Understanding that we cannot fix their grief is important, it relieves us of the idea that we need to do something. Instead, be an open door for them and listen to them emotionally without the need to fix it.
Water. We all need it — and know we need it — for optimum health and wellness, but a shocking few live daily life in a properly hydrated state and certainly not with appropriate consistency. One doctor-driven report revealed that fully 75 percent, a staggering three-fourths majority, of Americans may suffer from chronic dehydration. It went on to underscore that, “Over time, failure to drink enough water can contribute to a wide array of medical complications, from fatigue, joint pain, and weight gain to headaches, ulcers, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.” Apparently, this is the tip of the proverbial dehydration-induced illness iceberg. “During a normal day, we lose about two liters of water just through breathing, sweat, and other bodily functions,” notes Tip #4: Seek mental health treatment. If your grief is traumatic, or if you feel like you just can’t move through it after a period of time, go ahead and seek mental health treatment. You can see an individual therapist, go to a grief support group or even engage in trauma treatment. It is important to note that going to treatment will not take away memories of your loved one. Instead, it might help you move more toward understanding and acceptance.
board-certified internist Dr. Blanca Lizaola-Mayo. “Even while asleep, we can lose over 2.2 pounds of water-weight not just through sweating, but respiration as well. Even air conditioning has drying effects on our body. The health implications of dehydration are vast and can range from mild to severe, including problems with the heart, blood pressure and breathing, headaches and cognitive issues like concentration... just to name a few. Those who’ve felt that ‘afternoon slump’ should know that dehydration is the number one cause of daytime fatigue. And, it’s important to understand that when we first start to sense thirst, we are already close to two percent dehydrated.” For all of its importance, proper hydration is a delicate balance to uphold. An Institute of Medicine report cited the fragility of keeping the body duly hydrated, noting, “Over the course of a few hours, body water deficits can occur due to reduced intake or increased water losses from physical activity and environmental exposure.” So, a perfectly hydrated body can tip the scales into a dehydrated state in a fairly short amount of time. Understanding there are commonplace facets of our collective lifestyles that put us at a higher risk of developing mild to severe dehydration, here are
some insights and tips from preeminent health experts help you stay happily hydrated: How Much Water Do You Need? According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “Many factors impact how much water you need, including your age, gender, activity level and overall health... For women, the amount of total water is about 11.5 cups per day and for men about 15.5 cups. These estimates, however, include fluids consumed from both foods and beverages, including water. You typically get about 20 percent of the water you need from the food you eat. Taking that into account, women need about nine cups of fluid per day and men about 12.5 cups in order to help replenish the amount of water that is lost.” What Are Common Causes of Dehydration? According to the Mayo Clinic, “Sometimes dehydration occurs for simple reasons: You don’t drink enough because you’re sick or busy, or because you lack access to safe drinking water when you’re traveling, hiking or camping.” While certainly not all-inclusive, known causes for dehydration can encompass sweating from exercise See WATER page 30...

Rosh Hashonah Service
WELLS A Rosh Hashonah Service will be held at 4 p.m. at Spiller Farm, 85 Spiller Farm Lane, Wells. This service will be outside, socially distanced, and with masks optional. The shofar will be blown and the appropriate prayers said. There will be wine and challah for those who are comfortable sharing. To make a reservation and get
What is Rosh Hashanah?
further details, contact Cantor Ellen Farber at 207-251-1746 or musicalellen@yahoo.com.
Rosh Hashanah, a Hebrew term that means “head of the year,” marks the Jewish New Year and is a celebration of the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. It is the first of the High Holidays, otherwise known as Days of Awe. Adherents to the Jewish faith wish each other a good, sweet year ahead on Rosh Hashanah, a day that is steeped in
tradition. One such tradition is the sounding of the shofar, which is representative of the trumpet blast that sounded the coronation of kings as well as symbolizing a call to repentance. The shofar itself is a ram’s horn that calls to mind the story of the Blinding of Isaac, an event that occurred on Rosh Hashanah and involved a ram taking Isaac’s place as an offering to God.
Lizaola-Mayo warns, “Drinking too much water or fluid can lead to hyponatremia, which causes sodium in the cells to become diluted and too low and can be dangerous — and even life threatening — if untreated.”
pronounced and the patient may develop evidence of hypovolemic shock, including diminished consciousness; lack of urine output; cool moist extremities; a rapid and feeble pulse (the radial pulse may be undetectable); low or undetectable blood pressure; and peripheral cyanosis. Death follows soon if rehydration is not started quickly.”
tion explain that their medicallyformulated drink-mix powder accelerates hydration equivalent to an I.V. drip, rehydrating the body fully three-times faster than by drinking water alone. This unique product’s heightened hydration process leverages the body’s digestive “sodium/glucose co-transport system” — an Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF.
Of course, no celebration of Rosh Hashanah, which takes place over two days, is complete without a festive meal. Foods served during Rosh Hashanah celebrations tend to be sweet and are meant to symbolize hopes for an enjoyable year ahead, and are foods with names that allude to blessing and prosperity. This year, Rosh Hashanah begins on the evening of September 6 and ends on the evening of September 8.
...WATER from page 28 and playing a sport; air travel; traversing in overly hot, humid, cold or windy weather conditions; drinking too much coffee and other diuretic beverages; recovering from a hangover; and a litany of other relatively commonplace daily activities. Do All Fluids Hydrate the Body? No. The Cleveland Clinic is very clear with its advisory that “Some beverages are better than others at preventing dehydration,” and that “alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, teas and colas, are not recommended for optimal hydration. These fluids tend to pull water from the body and promote dehydration. Fruit juice and fruit drinks may have too many carbohydrates, too little sodium, and may upset the stomach. Adequate hydration will keep your summer activities safer and much more enjoyable.” What Are Some Benefits of Proper Hydration? While the benefits of a properly hydrated body are copious, the CDC points to a few topline health advantages, including keeping your temperature normal; lubricating and cushioning joints, protecting your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues; and getting rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements. Healthline also offers a number of evidencebased health benefits of drinking plenty of water, which include maximizing physical performance; optimized energy levels and mood; and aiding digestion and elimination. Be mindful of water intake, however, as Dr.

What Are Signs of Early or Mild Dehydration? The Rehydration Project non-profit organization says that “the degree of dehydration is graded according to signs and symptoms that reflect the amount of fluid lost. In the early stages of dehydration, there are no signs or symptoms. Early features are difficult to detect, but include dryness of mouth and thirst. As dehydration increases, signs and symptoms develop.” According to the organization, symptoms of early or mild dehydration include the following: flushed face; extreme thirst; consuming more than normal or the inability to drink; dry, warm skin; the inability to pass urine or reduced amounts (dark, yellow); dizziness made worse when standing; weakness; cramping in the arms and legs; crying with few or no tears; sleepiness or irritableness; sickness; headaches; dry mouth or dry tongue with thick saliva. What Are Signs of Moderate to Severe Dehydration? The Rehydration Project also denotes that symptoms of moderate to severe dehydration include low blood pressure; fainting; severe muscle contractions in the arms, legs, stomach, and back; convulsions; a bloated stomach; heart failure; sunken fontanelle — soft spot on a infants head; sunken dry eyes with few or no tears; skin loses its firmness and looks wrinkled; lack of elasticity of the skin (when a bit of skin lifted up stays folded and takes a long time to go back to its normal position); rapid and deep breathing (faster than normal); and a fast, weak pulse. They say that, “In severe dehydration, these effects become more

Who is At Greatest Risk of Dehydration? No one is immune to a dehydrated condition, but certain populations are at greater risk. The Mayo Clinic indicates that these vulnerable groups include infants and children, older adults, those with chronic illnesses and people who work or exercise outside. Serious complications can ensue, which they point out can include heat injury (ranging in severity from mild cramps to heat exhaustion or potentially lifethreatening heatstroke); urinary tract infections, kidney stones and even kidney failure; seizures due to electrolyte imbalance, sometimes with a loss of consciousness; and low blood volume (hypovolemic) shock. They say it’s time to call your doctor if you or a loved one “has had diarrhea for 24 hours or more; is irritable or disoriented and much sleepier or less active than usual; can’t keep down fluids; and/or has bloody or black stool.” How Can You Be a Water-Wise Shopper? The USDA recommends consumers shop smartly, advising us to “Use the nutrition facts label to choose beverages at the grocery store. The food label and ingredients list contain information about added sugars, saturated fat, sodium and calories to help you make better choices.” There are also highly efficacious and economical dehydration avoidance and treatment innovations that can be integrated into one’s lifestyle and used on a daily basis.

Can Foods Help You Stay Hydrated? Yes, the body intakes hydration not only from water and other liquids, but foodstuffs as well — some boasting as much 90 percent water content. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, those in the 90-100 percent water content range include fruits like cantaloupe, strawberries and watermelon; as well as vegetables like lettuce, cabbage, celery, spinach and cooked squash. The organization further states that options with a 70 to 89 percent water content include fruits like bananas, grapes, oranges, pears and pineapples; vegetables such as carrots, cooked broccoli and avocados; and dairy products like yogurt, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. For drinks, the good folks at www.eatright.org advise we focus on unsweetened beverages, like water, in order to limit calories from added sugars, and to use strategies to increase water intake — like adding a flavor enhancer. For this, a fruitflavored rehydration accelerant like the SOS Hydration drink mix can do tasty double duty. Can Sports Drinks Actually Undermine Hydration? Yes. Why pay extra money for excess sugar when what you really need are electrolytes? Dr. Lizaola-Mayo says that, “in truth, only a very small amount of sugar is required to help transport electrolytes and water into the cells as part of the sodium glucose co-transport system. In fact, this system is most effective when it utilizes one molecule of sugar and one molecule of sodium in combination, which helps create the fastest and most effective way to transport water into the cells for hydration. Even water rehydration and other drinks that do actually claim to utilize the sodium
glucose co-transport system have been shown to contain excess sugar to enhance taste, apparently discounting the fact that that this added sugar commensurately increases calorie count and actually undermines cellular H2O absorption. If there is excess sugar in a drink, even one engineered as a rehydration solution, then you can trigger reverse osmosis. This process occurs when there is an incorrect balance of sugar to sodium. Sodium always follows sugar and water always follows sodium. In a drink that is correctly balanced (utilizing the sodium glucose co-transport system) then the water and electrolytes optimally flow into the cells. In high sugar “rehydration” drinks there is too much sugar for the quantity of sodium and, as such, sodium and then water is actually leeched from the cells and passed out of the body as urine. This can actually cause dehydration — the opposite effect for a rehydration or sports beverage one has spent their hard-earned dollars to purchase.” So whether indoors or out, active or at rest, suffering illness or perfectly healthy, one thing is clear: Keeping your water sources well at hand and ingesting with regularity can have a profoundly beneficial effect on your health and well-being. It’s one easy and highly accessible assist for a multitude of maladies.

Robert Leon Frechette, Jr., 68 NORTH BERWICK – Robert (Bob) L. Frechette, Jr., of North Berwick and formerly of Sanford, beloved husband of Denise S. Frechette, passed away unexpectedly on August 22, 2021. Bob was born in Sanford in November 1952, the son of Robert L. and Gertrude B. (Morin) Frechette, Sr. He was later raised by Joseph and Gertrude Letourneau. Bob attended Sanford schools and in 1971 enlisted in the U.S. Navy serving until 1975. He was married to Denise Desruisseaux, now Paquet, of Sanford, in 1972. They were married 32 years and raised two children, Robert C. Frechette and Jill C. Frechette. Bob was gifted in multiple trades, which led to many different jobs along his life journey. He installed floors, did roofing, delivered for Schwann’s and had his own landscaping business for 10 years. His son quickly realized, by working alongside his dad, how evident his work ethics were and realizing how physically strong he was. There was a deep and emotional side to Bob. He was his son’s best man at his wedding and walked his daughter down the aisle. She had to remind him to slow his
pace down! Bob was a hardworking, strong, and kind man. He was a cancer survivor. He spent 12 years working for Pratt and Whitney where he met his wife, Denise S. (Cushing) Brown in 1997. He retired from Pratt & Whitney in 2008. He married Denise S. Brown in 2006. They enjoyed projects around their home, including gardening, woodworking (ladders were his nemesis) and shared a love for the Caribbean. Bob was an avid outdoorsman who liked to hike and hunt each fall. His genre of music included the music of the ‘60s and ‘70s with the Beatles at the top of the list. To relax they played pool and listened to his vinyl music collection. He and Denise were cocaptains in life. There wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do for one another. They weathered the challenges of life with warm affection and daily humor. Together they enjoyed antiquing and going to auctions to find that unique piece of art and furniture. Bob is lovingly survived by his wife Denise S. Frechette; his son’s family, Robert and Wendy Frechette and their children Dylan and Gabriella; his daughter’s family, Jill and Michael Pelletier and their children Emma and Sadie; his stepdaughter’s family, Angela and John Ciani and their son Brennan; his stepson’s family, Michael and Samantha Brown and their children Dylan and Kaylee; his sister Patricia Worsham, stepsister Linda Letourneau, stepbrother Gary Letourneau, and nieces and nephews. A private memorial service was held on Monday, August 30, at 11 a.m. at the Autumn Green Funeral Home, 47 Oak Street, in Alfred followed by an hour

William Winslow Pratt, 59 YORK – William (Bill) Winslow Pratt passed away suddenly on August 19, 2021 at home. He was born in York on April 6, 1962, the first-born son of Robert (Bob) Pratt and Jane Suitor Pratt of York. Billy grew up in York with many friends. His kind heart and gentle soul made it easy to befriend him and enjoy time riding bikes, ice skating, water skiing, snow skiing, boating, fishing, swimming, golfing and so many other group activities. As he matured, he also found pride in the time spent and results of rebuilding his antique truck. Oh, and yes, Billy loved a good fun-filled party. He was always the life of the party with
A COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST & DEPEND ON! VETERA DISCOU N NT!
an amazing sense of humor and love for anyone near him, especially the ladies. His love for women of all ages, shapes, and sizes was evident... He admired them all. Bill moved to California for a while after graduating from York High School in 1980 to stay with family and begin his adult life. In his mid-twenties, he moved back to York. In November of 1998, his world changed forever with the birth of his one and only son, William (Will) R. W. Pratt. His life revolved around Will. He was an involved and loving father. He was so proud of the loving, caring, funny, thoughtful, and hardworking young man Will had become. Bill tragically lost his father in March of 1971 and just recently lost his mother on June 3, 2021. He was a devoted son and would do anything for his family. He was also an amazing friend to so many here in southern Maine, in California, and all over the country. Bill successfully completed the Outward Bound program in his late teens and began working for Post & Beam in his early to mid-twenties. He became an accomplished carpenter and a gen-
eral contractor. He has built numerous homes for many thankful families in and around York County. Bill finally built his own dream home and a dwelling for his mother on Hemlock Avenue in 2011. I’m sure he is proud to have been able to leave Will with such a lovely set-up. Bill is survived by his son William Pratt; siblings, Penelope (Penny) Pratt Hogan and James (Jim) Pratt, and three half-sisters, Susan Pratt Smith, Vallana Winslow Pratt, and Holly R. (Pratt) Connelly; six nieces and nephews, Dylan Pratt, Matthew Pratt, Parker Hogan, Augustus (Gus) Hogan, Devon Smith, and Emily Connelly; One beloved aunt, Linda Suitor Davis; and many cousins who loved him dearly. He was predeceased by his parents listed above, aunt Lois Suitor Berger, and uncle William (Bill) Suitor. A private graveside service will be held in September and a celebration of life will take place during the summer of 2022 (TBD due to COVID-19 concerns). Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home in York is assisting with arrangements (www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com). 483

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.

SPORTS Pumpkinman Triathlon Celebrates 15 Years, Introduces New Running Festival SOUTH BERWICK On September 11-12, the Pumpkinman Triathlon & Running Festival will celebrate 15 years of local racing in South Berwick. Over the past 15 years, Pumpkinman has produced an award winning Sprint, Olympic, and Half distance triathlon. This year, an all-new Running Festival will be added to the festivities. The Pumpkinman Running Festival will have something for everyone. Featuring five different distances, runners can be sure there is something for them. The line up includes: 1-mile Fun Run; American Pumpkin Pi 3.14 miler; The Pumpkin Jenni 8.675309 miler; The Pumpkinman Half Marathon; 15 miler to celebrate 15 years Following the running
events will be the famous Harvest Feast with pumpkin pie, pumpkin whoopie pies and a lively after party with live music. “I wanted to create an opportunity for more people to be able to experience the thrill of running down the Pumpkinman finish chute,” said owner and race director Rachel Martin. “Crossing a finish line is such an empowering feeling,
and this new event schedule allows for more of the community to be involved.” On Saturday September 11, the Pumpkinman Triathlon Festival will host the Sprint and Olympic (intermediate) distance triathlons along with relay teams and an Olympic AquaBike. “I am so excited to be able to celebrate the 15 year anniversary in person,” continued Martin. “Last year I kept events going virtually because I didn’t want to see my athletes give up on their goals. To be able to see people happy and completing the goals they have set out for themselves will be one of the highlights of my year.” Registration is now open. For more information, go to https://runsignup.com/race/me /southberwick/pumpkinman triathlon.
Student-Athlete Spotlight: Kenneth Richard WELLS The many interests that an individual has, can make up who they are and what is special to them. Being able to follow one’s dreams while also participating in activities important to them seems surreal. However, for Kenneth Richard, he can do both at York County Community College while studying veterinary technology and being a member of the new track & field and cross country teams. Kenneth is from Gorham, and is studying to become a veterinary technician. He was on both the track & field and cross country teams in high school. His initial incentive to start running was to spend time with his sister, as he thought running for fun was ‘crazy’. He then began to enjoy it. His favorite events in track & field include the 400 and 800. He describes himself more as a distance runner, yet would like
to push himself at YCCC to try new events. Not only did York County offer his academic interests in the veterinary field, but it gave him the opportunity to stay close to friends and family at an unbeatable tuition cost. When asked what he is looking forward to most at York County, he described how, “It has been about four years since I last ran cross country, and I am most looking forward to being part of a team again. I find cross country really motivating and can’t wait to see my progress throughout the season.” Kenneth also works at a horse rescue in Windham where he helps rehabilitate and rehome horses, and even has a pet pygmy goat named Elvis. Kenneth loves traveling and animals, and was able to enjoy the perfect combination of the two in Australia prior to the pandemic.
Ladies Golf League Final Results YORK The York Ladies Golf League end of season banquet was held on Monday night with final standings announced. Due to excessive rain last week, the golf course was unplayable and the last night of league play was canceled. Standings were determined by week eight results with Team Nolan winning top honors by half point over Team Erikson, who placed second. Third place went to Team Todd,
who ended the season with 29 points. Team Petrovich was fourth with 27 points. Fifth place went to Team Jackson with 25 points and in sixth was Team Fogel with 22 points. Winning team members include Liz Nolan, Linda Davis, Linda Leahy, Lou Baker, Jerri LeConte, Janet Gagner and Jan Stewart. In spite of all the rain, the 2021 season was a great success. Congratulations to all!

~ Classifieds & News ~ Have You Ever Been Afraid Before? BY JIM FABIANO Let’s face some facts. We are all afraid of something we can’t see and could possibly kill us. We are all afraid of the lives we had will never come back and will be replaced by things that will become the new normal. If someone tells you they are not afraid there is a good chance they are laying. Most of us have been afraid before. Like the fears of our past this new fear will erode into history. It will become a memory that will cement our relationships and character. It will become our legacy. There was a night I was not able to sleep through the night. This one was a bit eerie and it is a night I will never forget. I went to bed at my normal time. I always went to bed at the same time because my parents of the 1950’s believed it was important to keep their children on a definite schedule. I ate the same time during the day, was able to watch television only an hour a day, had to complete my chores by a certain point in the day, and had security in the knowledge that tomorrow would be the same as yesterday. I absolutely adored that time in my life. On this specific night I fell asleep like I always did a few minutes after my parents tucked me in. Nothing special was going on that day so I assume nothing special was there to keep me awake. But, during the middle of the night, or at least I thought it was the middle of the night because when I was young I never had an alarm clock by my bed, I was awaken by a feeling that someone was sitting on my feet at the end of the bed. At first I was confused. I knew it was late at night so why should someone or something sit at the end of my bed? I think it was the thought of something that put my mind in high gear not because of curiosity but of fear. I always slept with the covers over my head because it gave me an added sense of security. In other circumstances this was comfortable but because of the mystery thrown at me on that particular night I started to smell my own breath and the heat of my own body that made me start to sweat. I knew I had to do something. I could continue to lie there ignoring the ‘thing’ that was sitting on my feet. This would probably cause suffocation and I would be found dead in a pool of my own sweat the next morning. That is unless the creature sitting at the bottom of my bed decided to eat me first. I could have moved my foot away from the weight that pressed my foot against my bed but that would alert the thing I was awake and more then ready to scare to death. I decided instead not to move even a toe
hoping the blood would continue to flow into my foot and not suffer through a cramp that would give away the fact I was awake. At that point I didn’t care because cramp or no cramp there was no way I was about to move my foot. Or I could throw the covers off my head, turn around to see who or what would dare to sit on my feet at the bottom of my bed. Did I tell you I was concerned that the ogre sitting at the bottom of my bed could decide to eat me? So there I lay, sweating and shivering, trying not to breathe in fear I would not have to throw the covers off my head because the monster would do it for me. My mind then turned into imagining what the thing was that was sitting on my feet at the bottom of my bed. It had to have been incredibly ugly to only come out at night. I know it was more then a skeleton because what was on my foot was not just bones. It could have been hairy and had massive teeth. It’s red, blood filled eyes must have been excited in the thought it could kill a young boy by simply sitting and waiting for him to wake up. I scared myself to sleep that night. In the morning my head was still covered by all the sheets and blankets I had wound around my head in order to not be able to see the thing that sat on my bed. I could smell the acrid scent of my own body that decided to sweat its way through the night. My head was soaked and my pajamas had a crispy feeling to them from the perspiration that had dried during the night. The first thing I did was move my foot that had earlier been pressed into the bed by something I will never know what it was. I did not feel anything holding it down. I moved my foot back and forth at the end of the bed and was convinced that whoever or whatever had been there was gone. I slowly lifted my head from my pillow, turned my head and saw that nothing was there. I looked up at my walls and say the great ‘Mick’ and ‘Whitey’ staring down disappointed I did not have the courage to face my fears. I don’t know if I felt a sense of relief or a sense of disappointment knowing I would probably never know what had occurred a few hours before. We are all afraid of something we can’t see and could possibly kill us. We are all afraid of the lives we had will never come back and will be replaced by things that will become the new normal. Like the fears of our past this too will pass and we should all look forward to the fears of our future. Jim Fabiano is a teacher and writer living in York.
