New Open Road Tolling Plaza Open YORK At 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, September 15, Maine Turnpike Authority activated the new, high-tech toll plaza at mile 8.8 in York.

A $1.7 billion contract was awarded for the construction project last month, and work is expected to be completed by June 2028. The current Dry Dock #1 can only accommodate Los Angeles-class submarines, which

By transporting pets already up for adoption, impacted animal shelters are freed up to temporarily care for local residents’ pets. “The most important thing to note is that the pets that just arrived at AWS were already in animal shelters prior to Ida and were evacuated as soon as possible so we aren’t taking away someone’s beloved pet.

National Lobster Day, Sept. 25

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King are celebrating Senate passage of their bipartisan resolution that designates September 25, 2021 as “National Lobster Day.” The declaration was made official through a resolution the Senators authored, which was unanimously passed by the Senate in recent days. National Lobster Day seeks to recognize the economic and cultural importance of the species, which is a major economic driver for Maine. Senators Collins and King have authored this resolution every year since 2015. “Lobster is an iconic emblem for our state, and Maine’s lobster fishery is a cornerstone of

our state’s economy, supporting thousands of jobs and playing a central role in our coastal communities,” said Senators Collins and King. “National Lobster Day is a chance to enjoy a delicious lobster and celebrate all who play a part making it happen – from the lobstermen and women who haul the catch out of the sea, to the processors and dealers who move the product to shops and restaurants, to the chefs who turn our prized crustacean into culinary masterpieces. During a year filled with challenges, these hardworking professionals adapted and innovated to keep the Maine lobster fishery one of the world’s most profitable and sustainable. We look forward to

...TOLL from page 1 Northbound traffic stays to the right driving through the four former tollbooth lanes. DO NOT celebrating their continued successes on September 25!” Lobster is one of the most valuable catches in the U.S., and a fundamental economic driver for Maine communities throughout the state. In 2020, Maine lobstermen caught more than 96 million pounds of lobster, worth more than $400 million. Senators Collins and King have been vocal advocates for the lobster industry by pushing back against harmful policies that would hinder the continued growth and success of the industry.

the center canopy and establish a secure work area in which all of the former toll plaza structures will be cleared away and six new highway lanes will be constructed. Once those six highway lanes are completed, this configuration will be in place throughout the winter months, and drivers will proceed north and south through this new section at a reduced speed of 55 miles per hour, as workers remove the remaining outside tollbooths. “We’ve worked side-by-side with our highway engineering team to create a safe and logical sequence of lane changes and deconstruction steps to minimize the inconvenience to turnpike travelers and maximize their safety,” said Erin Courtney, Public Outreach Manager for the Maine Turnpike Authority. “We’re asking all drivers to help us achieve that by driving cautiously and obeying reduced speed limits in this construction zone.” The toll plaza demolition project, estimated at $12.2 million, was awarded to Sargent Corporation of Stillwater in July of this year. It is scheduled to be completed in October of 2022.

Southbound traffic stays to the right through five outside tollbooth lanes. Northbound traffic stays to the right through four outside tollbooth lanes. DO NOT STOP. Drivers approaching the old plaza should keep within the orange construction barrels marking the travel lanes and be particularly aware of other vehicles, especially when approaching narrow tollbooth lanes. Each step will allow workers to safely isolate construction areas and remove the canopy roof above the old tollbooth lanes section by section without interrupting the flow of traffic in either direction.

Volunteer Opportunity to Support Local Wildlife

SCARBOROUGH / WELLS On Saturday, September 25, in celebration of National Public Lands Day (NPLD), the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) will be hosting a volunteer workday in Scarborough to help restore native shrubland habitat, which is home to many species, including Maine’s only native rabbit – the state endangered New England cottontail. After cancelling its annual

NPLD event last year, the refuge is pleased to join the nation’s largest single day volunteer effort for public lands once again. Given the challenges of the pandemic, and subsequent increase in appreciation for outdoor recreation, NPLD’s objective seems especially relevant: to celebrate the opportunity American citizens have to give back to the public lands where we explore and rejuvenate. This year, more than ever, the NWR needs your help to keep up the

progress it, with the help of past volunteers, has made in saving the wildlife that helps make southern Maine so special. The state endangered New England cottontail’s numbers – now estimated at a mere 300 individuals – have dropped dramatically over the past 50 years throughout its range, mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation. This rabbit depends on dense thicket habitat to be able to hide from predators and forage for food.

“If you can walk through it, it isn’t good New England Cottontail habitat,” says Kate O’Brien, the Wildlife Biologist at NWR. Healthy thicket habitat is steadily disappearing and being degraded in Maine for several reasons, including: development, fragmentation, forest maturation, and the spread of invasive plants. As shrublands disappear, so do the animal species that depend on them; and the New England cottontail is not the only critter in danger of disappearing. Animals also relying on shrubland habitat include: the eastern towhee, American woodcock, prairie warbler, willow flycatcher, and the elusive black racer snake; all of which have dwindling populations. Volunteers are needed for two time slots, from 9 a.m. to noon, and 1-4 p.m., to assist with planting of native shrubs propagated at the refuge’s own greenhouse at a special habitat management area on the refuge. The day will include celebrating the NPLD national effort of “finding more ways to connect to nature,” by digging, planting, learning, brief trail walking, donuts, coffee, and lots of fun. For additional details and to sign up, email jessalyn_ benson@fws.gov. Registration is required to ensure event

adheres to COVID-19 safety guidelines. COVID-19 precautions will be followed, including appropriate mask-wearing.

Bicentennial Quilt Unveiling

our brave sailors and submariners are able to defend our nation and return home safely,” Senator Collins said. “Today’s celebration also represents years of hard work and important collaboration among members of the Maine and New Hampshire delegations, Navy officials, and the outstanding men and women who keep our submarine fleet prepared for crucial national security missions. A public shipyard hasn’t constructed a new dry dock in more than 60 years. I know that the Navy and the great industry team supporting this project, including Maine’s Cianbro Corporation, will meet the challenge.” “The committed, talented workforce at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard plays a vital part in Maine communities and America’s national defense,” said Senator King. “Their high-quality work is essential to our nation’s Navy, and it is paramount that we give the shipyard the resources it needs to continue fulfilling its duties. The construction of a new Dry Dock will create good jobs in Maine, both today and for decades to come. I am proud to have worked alongside my colleagues, Navy leaders, and PNSY leaders to secure this funding, which will help ensure PNSY’s facilities are equipped to continue to perform vital maintenance on the nation’s evolving submarine fleet.”

Boston Post Cane Recipients Need Updating

NEW ENGLAND The Boston Post Cane archival website www.bostonpostcane.org is always working on updating their records, and has just returned from a short hiatus with renewed steam. The story of the cane began

in 1909, when Edwin A. Grozier, publisher of the Boston Post newspaper, established its most famous publicity stunt – he gave a gold-headed ebony cane to 700 towns in New England with the request that it be presented to the oldest male citizen of the town.

In 1930, eligibility was opened to women as well. Although the Post went out of business in 1957, the tradition has taken hold in many communities. The following towns in the Weekly Sentinel readership area are included in the entries documented online: Berwick

WHERE

DID YOU GET THAT?

Berwick’s cane is kept in a glass display case at the town hall while recipients receive a plaque. Charles Mallett was the eldest resident, at age 98, but has recently passed away on March 24, 2021. His obituary noted, “Charles’ secret to a long life: Oreo cookies and his beloved dogs.” Who will be the next recipient?

Eliot

Eliot has its original Boston Post Cane on display in a beautiful case at the municipal ofﬁce along with a plaque showing all past recipients. The Board of Selectmen hold a small ceremony and issue a plaque to the recipient prior to the opening of the Annual Town meeting in June. Dorothy Spinney Manson received the honors in 2015 and mentioned that she plans to live to be 100 – She is now 104 years old!

Kennebunkport revived the tradition in 2017 and ordered cane replicas and a plaque since the original was lost. One cane and the plaque inscribed with each

In addition, a moment of silence was held at noon and the national anthem was sung to honor all of the brave first responders and all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The event was organized by chair Jen Lewer, Amy Forbes of Perkins Cove 03907, Jason Corbin, head of Ogunquit Parks and Recreation, local artist Ric Della Bernarda, and artists Pam and David Lussier and supported by generous donations from local businesses. “The response from the artist community was incredible,” says Jason Corbin, head of Parks and Recreation. “The local support and attendance

exceeded our expectations, and we are excited to make this an annual event.” More than sixty artists competed. In the professional division, first place honors were awarded to Jim Laurino (Litchfield, CT), second place to Jonathan McPhillips (Saunderston, RI), third to John Caggiano (Rockport, MA), and honorable mentions to Gordon France and Ana Smyth. In the amateur division, first place honors were awarded to Harry Ruddick (Deerfield, MA), second place to Klarens Karanxha (Milton, MA), third to Jeffery Caira (Sanbornton, MA), and honorable mentions to Michele Bebis and Abigail Williams. “The overwhelming success of this first plein air festival demonstrates the important role that the arts play in the heritage of our community,” says Matt Buttrick, Interim Town Manager. “This event not only highlights our unique history, but also helps support our small businesses and contributes to our economy. We are excited to make plans for an even bigger event in 2022.” Organizers are already working on plans to make this an annual event and to expand it into a multi-day festival in 2022. Interested artists, sponsors, and volunteers should visit www. perkinscovepleinair.com for more information.

OGUNQUIT On Sunday, September 19, Cuban-American Novelist and Poet, Cristina Garcia will read read from works relevant to Cuban American culture while Alberto Rey’s art is exhibited at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA). Born in Havana to a Guatemalan father and Cuban mother, Cristina Garcia is the author of seven novels: “Here in Berlin: A Novel” (2017), “King of Cuba” (Scribner, 2013), which was adapted into a play in the summer of 2018 at Central Works Theater in Berkeley, “The Lady Matador’s Hotel” (Scribner, 2010); “A Handbook to Luck” (Knopf, 2007); “Monkey Hunting” (Knopf, 2003); “Agüero Sisters” (Knopf, 1997), winner of the Janet Heidiger Kafka Prize; and “Dreaming in Cuban” (Knopf, 1992), finalist for the National Book Award. Elle Magazine called King of Cuba, “Darkly hilarious… With a fine balance of wry absurdity and existential poignancy, García builds not just a tale of the end of days but a snapshot of the past impact and future reverberations of Cuba’s revolution — a theme more fascinating than ever as the once-isolated island nation opens itself to the world.” The Ogunquit Museum of American Art is located at 543 Shore Road, Ogunquit.

2021 International Day of Peace & Sarah Farmer Peace Award Recipient – Voices from the Heart!

ELIOT The 2021 Sarah Farmer Peace Award will be awarded to Voices from the Heart, a twohundred-strong women’s choral group specializing in “soulful multi-cultural music” at a ceremony at Green Acre Baha’i Center of Learning, Eliot, in recognition of the UN International Day of Peace, Saturday, September 25 at 4 p.m. The Sarah Farmer Peace Award is presented annually by the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Portsmouth and Green Acre to recognize the contributions of area individuals or groups who strive to promote world peace and understanding among nations and members of the human family through local action. Sarah Jane Farmer, a turnof-the century peace heroine, was born in Dover, NH, in 1847. She founded the Green Acre Conferences in Eliot where the first peace flag in the world was hoisted in 1894. This year’s recipient, the vocal ensemble Voices of the Heart, was founded in 1995 by singer and conductor Joanne Connolly and is now in its 26th year. While delighting audiences with its vibrating, hauntingly beautiful harmonies and infectious world-beat rhythms, Voices from the Heart also raises funds for charitable purposes both here in the Seacoast and during cultural outreach tours to such places as South Africa, Ireland, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Cuba. This year’s ceremony will be held outdoors and will follow the state of Maine health proto-

“Making Water Better!”

Author Talk with Clifford at York Public Library YORK York Public Library will host author Robin Clifford Wood for a discussion of her book “The Field House: A Writer’s Life Lost and Found on an Island in Maine” on Wednesday, September 22 in the Community Room at 7 p.m. Born of illustrious New England stock, Rachel Field was a National Book Award– winning novelist, a Newbery Medal–winning children’s writer, a poet, playwright, and rising Hollywood success in the early twentieth century. Her light was abruptly extinguished at the age of forty-seven, when she died at the pinnacle of her personal happiness and professional acclaim. Fifty years later, Robin Clifford Wood stepped onto the sagging floorboards of Rachel’s long-neglected home on the rugged shores of an island in Maine and began dredging up Rachel’s history. She was

determined to answer the questions that filled the house’s every crevice: Who was this vibrant, talented artist whose very name entrances those who still remember her work? Why is that work — so richly remunerated and widely celebrated in her lifetime — so largely forgotten today? The journey into Rachel’s world took Wood further than she ever dreamed possible, unveiling a life fraught with challenge, and buried by tragedy, and yet incandescent with joy. “The Field House” is a book about beauty — beauty in Maine island landscapes, in friendship, love, and heartbreak; beauty hidden beneath a woman’s woefully unbeautiful exterior; beauty in a rare, delightful spirit that still whispers from the past. Just listen. Robin Clifford Wood is a columnist, biographer, memoirist, poet, blogger, and teacher. Her feature stories have appeared in Solstice Literary Mag-

azine, Port City Life Magazine, Mainepublic.org, Bangor Metro, Valley News, and Genesee Valley Parent Newsmagazine. One of Wood’s poem’s won second place in the 2020 Writer’s Digest annual competition, and another poem, “The Ballad of Hadlock, the Seal Hunter Showman,” was produced and presented in the 2020 remote season of Penobscot Theatre Company as an audio performance.

Author Talk with Keyes at Berwick Public Library BERWICK When reclusive millionaire artist Robert Indiana died in 2018 at his home in Vinalhaven, he left behind dark rumors and scandal, as well as an estate embroiled in lawsuits and facing accusations of fraud. “The Isolation Artist: Scandal, Deception, and the Last Days of Robert Indiana,” a new book by Robert Keyes, is the true story of the artist’s final days, the aftermath, the deceptive world that surrounded him, and the inner workings of art as very big business. Keyes will speak about his book at the Berwick Public Library on Tuesday, September 21, at 6 p.m. at an outdoor gathering. “In the final hours of his life,” writes Keyes, “Robert Indiana was without the grace of a better angel, as the people closest to him covered their tracks and plotted their defenses.”

Robert Indiana was the creator of the iconic “Love” sculpture in 1965. In 1969, he began renting the upstairs of the Victorian-style Odd Fellows Hall named “The Star of Hope” in the island town of Vinalhaven, Maine. Indiana bought the lodge in 1973 for $10,000 and lived and worked there full time until his death. With unparalleled access to the key players in Indiana’s life, journalist and author Bob Keyes tells a fast-paced and riveting story that provides a rare inside look into the life of an artist as well as the often-unscrupulous world of high-end art. The reader is taken inside the world of art dealers, law firms, and an array of local characters in Maine whose lives intersected with the internationally-revered artist living in an old Odd Fellows Hall on Vinalhaven Island.

Bob Keyes has worked as a journalist for four decades, now at the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram. He is a nationally-recognized arts writer and storyteller with specialties in American visual arts and the contemporary culture of New England. “The Isolation Artist” is his debut book. He has received numerous awards for his writing, including the Rabkin Prize for Visual Arts Journalism in recognition of his contributions to the national arts dialogue. The Berwick Public Library is located at 103 Old Pine Hill Road, Berwick. For more information, call 207-698-5737 or visit www.berwick.lib.me.us.

~ Pets ~ AWS Welcomes Director of Operations & Programs KENNEBUNK The Animal Welfare Society (AWS) is pleased to welcome Adam Ricci as Director of Operations and Programs. In this newly created position, Ricci will administer the organization’s community programs, including Stay@Home, Behavior & Training, Youth Humane Education and Community Veterinary Clinic. He will also oversee operations of the Adoption Center and animal-related services. Ricci comes to AWS with more than a decade of experience in program development, community outreach and shelter operations. His animal welfare career took off when he became the animal control officer for the Buxton, Maine, Police Department in 2010. Since, Ricci has worked at non-profit and municipal shelters in Arizona and New Mexico, including as Chief of Field Operations and Acting Associate Director of the City

of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department. There, as a member of the leadership team, the Department won the 2019 National Animal Care and Control Association Agency of the Year. A Maine native, Ricci is pleased to bring his experience home and serve AWS’ growing community needs. “I am honored and excited to join the AWS team to help both people and pets of the community,” Ricci says. “Being back home in Maine is great but being part

of such an amazing organization with AWS, an organization driven to reimagine its role within the community, is even greater and has always been the dream since the very beginning of my career.” “As AWS has pivoted over the past five years, to provide services to not only pets, but also to the people who love them, Adam’s success building such programming will be a huge asset,” says Abigail Smith, AWS Executive Director. “His leadership will help AWS provide the best resources to serve our community’s animal-related needs.” Ricci is a regular presenter at animal welfare conferences, has served on the board of several national animal organizations and regularly volunteers in his local community. He and his family make their home in Southern Maine with their five cats, one Chihuahua and two guinea pigs.

At only 14 weeks of age, Tori and Whitney are full of energy and curiosity, so a home with responsible children under adult supervision is fine. Older children would be ideal, perhaps a cat-friendly dog, and of course adults who are passionate about cats and ready to enjoy the antics and playfulness of these two darlings. For more info on these two kittens, please call 207-849-0728. Our September Food Drive continues at our Cattail Farm shop at 1784 Post Road. We really need your tax-deductible donations of canned Friskies adult cat food, Purina dry kitten chow, canned Fancy Feast kitten food, paper towels, Dawn dishwashing liquid, rubber gloves, Clorox wipes, sponges, and Temptation cat treats. Copy paper, too. Bring

donations to our store during business hours, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday. Thank you! Safe Haven’s Thrift/Vintage and Antiques Shop at 1784 Post Road Wells is gearing up for the change of seasons. Our Christmas department is restocked several times a week, and we’re putting more emphasis on “nesting” décor. You’ll love the delightful colors of autumn and the supplies needed to survive another Maine winter. Things like games, comfy clothing, soft blankets, soup bowls, and bakeware. You never have enough books and puzzles to get through a storm! We certainly welcome tasteful Halloween and Christmas décor. Please bring donations only on Saturdays 12-3 p.m. Please, no yard sale leftovers. They just waste our volunteers’ time to sort, See HAVEN page 20...

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~

Dear Chris, You will need Word (or another program that can read and edit Word Files) installed on your new laptop, however, you don’t absolutely have to purchase a new copy for the new computer. If you purchased your older version of Office on a disk, you should be able to install it from the disk on your new laptop. If

your laptop doesn’t have an optical drive, you can either use a usb optical drive, or copy the contents of the disk onto a USB data stick (on another computer that has an optical drive) and install Office from the data stick. If you purchased Office in the form of a small card with the product key on it, you would have used your Microsoft account to download and install Office. You can always go and download it again at: https:// setup.office.com/. Just sign into your Microsoft account, and all the office products you have purchased will be listed. If the first two options don’t work for you, you can purchase Office, or just Word again. Just make sure that you register it with your Microsoft account, and that you save your account information so that you can redownload it in the future. Another option would be to use free, open source office software. My favorite is Libre-

Office at www.libreoffice.org. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, When my computer was not well, I took it to a commercial shop to be fixed. They asked if I had done a backup and I said (because I didn’t know how) No. After charging me for an external hard drive, they did the backup on the hard drive. I have the drive but I have never looked on it and my question is: Should I use this hard drive to do a backup and if so, what do I need to do. Since I retired I seem to be forgetting all the computer stuff I knew (course, computers have changed a lot too). You make this info seem so easy but it is very confusing when you have been away from everyday use. Thank you so much for all you do, Wanda

Dear Wanda, Yes, you should use the external hard drive to do occasional backups. I would suggest that you get an easy to use backup program like Acronis True Image to use with your external hard drive. Benefit of Wells Congregational Church Simply install Acronis, connect your external hard drive and use the program to backup your entire PC to the external drive. September 17 & 18 It is really pretty easy. When 9 A.M. - 4 P.M. you start Acronis, you will see a window with “Entire PC” alaccepted year round.

select your external hard drive, then click the “Back up now” button in the lower-right corner of the window. In the future, you (or the computer shop) can use that backup to access specific files, or to restore your entire computer. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Is there a way to get my gmail via windows live mail? I don’t like gmail. I have been reading your column for years. Thanks. I save them all. Steven Dear Steven It is possible to get your Gmail in just about any email program that uses POP or IMAP. First, you go to the settings in Gmail and make sure you have them enabled. To do this, click the gear near the upper-right corner of your Gmail inbox and click on “Settings” in the context menu that appears. In the settings window, click on “Forwarding and POP/ IMAP” in the top row. Make sure you have enabled POP and/ or IMAP and click “Save Changes” at the bottom. Scroll down and click on “Configuration instructions” to get directions for setting up Gmail in your email program. I hope this helps, Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Thank you for all of the information you share with us. I’ve learned a lot from your answers to questions posed by your readers. I have Windows 10 and I’m going crazy! Zoom is almost constantly changing the size of the web page without my using the zoom setting. It doesn’t matter which web site I’m in or which browser I’m using. I have to go to the zoom settings and readjust back to 100% from as high

as 500% and higher. How can I fix this problem? Thanks, Betty Dear Betty, It sounds like you are accidentally either using the scroll wheel on your mouse, or a keyboard combination to change the zoom on your computer. The first thing to do is figure out what is happening to cause the problem. The ways that the zoom of a web page can be changed are as follows: 1. Holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard as you scroll with the scroll wheel on your mouse. So, check to see if you are accidentally holding the Ctrl key on your keyboard, or perhaps it is stuck. Also, if you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, make sure you are not moving it at all. 2. Holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and pressing the plus key to make it larger or the minus key to make it smaller. Again, check to make sure your Ctrl key is not stuck or being pressed accidentally. Also check the plus key on your keyboard, perhaps it is stuck. 3. Some laptops have a space on the touchpad for scrolling. If you have this type of touchpad, you might want to try using the middle of the touchpad instead of the edge. I hope this helps you figure out the problem. Elizabeth ...HAVEN from page 19 and cost us money to dispose. We’d rather devote our limited funds to rescue more at-risk kitties and strays.

Recycling Markets Rebound Wells Democrats Award Scholarship

PORTLAND A protracted slump in the markets for recyclable materials may be reversing course, according to Ecomaine, the Portland-based non-profit processor of single-sort recyclables. Following more than three years of turbulence in global and domestic business for post-consumer scrap materials, pricing is increasing significantly with each passing month. Following China’s “National Sword” policy prohibiting most imports of recyclable material, global markets saw significant challenges, particularly in the demand for

post-consumer paper. Since then, investments in North American capabilities to accept and manufacture with recyclable fiber and plastic have created a significant uptick in demand for residential recycling. “We have been watching these investments since 2017 with some optimism,” said Ecomaine CEO Kevin Roche. “These new mills coming online combined with demand generated throughout the pandemic have led to steady movement of Ecomaine’s materials at increasingly good price points. We’re cautiously optimistic at these developments.” From July 2020 to July 2021, mixed paper pricing has

increased from negative $27/ton to $56/ton, or 307%. During the same period, cardboard prices have gone from $51/ton to $146/ ton. Metal’s value has increased, as well; aluminum from $722/ ton to nearly $1,200/ton, and steel and tin from $73/ton to $318/ton. Added Roche, “This is welcome news for Maine’s recycling sector, and Ecomaine’s communities who are benefitting from taking a long-term view during a challenging period in the markets. We remain optimistic, but we will continue to plan for the future, as we have weathered recessions and global challenges before – and we will again.”

DOE Approves Use of Rescue Plan Funds to Support Schools AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills announced that the U.S. Department of Education has approved Maine’s proposal to use American Rescue Plan funding to support in-classroom instruction for Maine children, sustain the safe operation of schools, and equitably expand opportunity for students impacted by the pandemic. As part of the approval of Maine’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Plan, the U.S. Department of Education is awarding more than $137 million in funding through the American Rescue Plan. In March 2021, the U.S. Department of Education also awarded the Maine Department of Education more than $274 million in funding. “This pandemic has been hard on kids, parents, and school staff, but the Federal government’s approval of Maine’s plan is a welcome step forward as we return to classroom instruction and provide local school districts the resources necessary to address the needs of Maine students,” said Governor Janet Mills. “I thank the U.S. Department of Education for its approval of our plan and am grateful that because of the American Rescue Plan we will have these significant resources to provide a quality education for Maine children as we continue our fight against this deadly pandemic.” “I am excited to announce approval of Maine’s plan,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “It is heartening to see, reflected in these state plans, the ways in which states

are thinking deeply about how to use American Rescue Plan funds to continue to provide critical support to schools and communities, particularly as we look ahead to the upcoming academic year. The approval of these plans enables states to receive vital, additional American Rescue Plan funds to quickly and safely reopen schools for full-time, in-person learning; meet students’ academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs; and address disparities in access to educational opportunity that were exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. The state plans that have been submitted to the Department lay the groundwork for the ways in which an unprecedented infusion of federal resources will be used to address the urgent needs of America’s children and build back better.” The highlights of Maine’s plan, as approved by the Federal government, are as follows: Returning to In Person Learning in 2021: The 2021-2022 school year has begun in Maine with all schools open fulltime, inperson, five days per week. Safely Reopening Schools and Sustaining Safe Operations: Maine’s COVID-19 Response vaccination website provides hun-

dreds of vaccination sites through health care centers, pharmacies, and mobile vaccination units. Several Maine School Administrative Units (SAUs) also served as vaccination sites in the spring of 2021, and this fall many are working with local providers to host COVID-19 vaccine clinics for age eligible students and staff. Addressing the Academic Impact of Lost Instructional Time: Maine Department of Education’s (MDOE) Extended Learning Program will develop opportunities for students across the state to engage with local industry employers. The program will allow students to gain knowledge and skills through learning and credit recovery in community-based and work-based organizations through the academic year. The Maine Online Opportunities for Sustained Education (MOOSE) Learning Module Library provides free access to asynchronous, interdisciplinary, project-based learning modules aligned to the Maine Learning Results for PreK12. Investing in Expanded Afterschool Programs: Beginning in the Fall of 2021, MDOE is encouraging local school districts to form partnerships with

WELLS At its monthly meeting in August, the Wells Democratic Town Committee awarded its annual scholarship to Emily Gleason, a recent graduate of Wells High School. Thanks to generous donations from the community and WDTC members, this year’s award was able to be raised to $1,000. This post-secondary scholarship is given to a young person who is committed to making the world a better place, starting right where they are; someone who reflects on Democratic values and priorities, such as civil and human rights, a clean environment, and justice and equity for all. Emily’s passion is promoting acceptance for all, regardless of race, origin, religion, disabil-

ities, gender, or sexual orientation. She has been very active in the Maine Civil Rights Team Project, attending their Conferences, coming away with ideas on how to better our community, and sharing that knowledge with the Civil Rights team at Wells High. She will be attending the University of New Hampshire this Fall, majoring in psychology.

community-based organizations to support after school programming. MDOE will coordinate these efforts with the state’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers program. Staffing to Support Students’ Needs: MDOE partnered with the Maine Community College System to launch the Learning Facilitators Program, a fast-track training program for paraprofessional level educators to expand, strengthen and support the educator workforce and enable program participants to earn educational certifications at no cost. Addressing the “Whole Student”: In the distribution of ARP ESSER funds, MDOE will

encourage districts to focus on social-emotional learning, mental and behavioral health programs, restorative alternatives to exclusionary discipline, trauma-informed practices, student-centered learning through interdisciplinary, project-based instruction, and related professional development for educators and school leaders. Me e t i n g Eme r ge nc y Needs: MDOE will use ARP emergency needs funds for mental health support for students, educators, and families; professional learning in traumainformed practices; statewide diversity, and equity and inclusion support.

2021 Virtual Maine Wisdom Summit STATEWIDE On September 21, the 8th annual Wisdom Summit will take place via Zoom to explore what it will take to build an age-positive culture in Maine with resilient communities ready to meet the needs of their older residents. How we think, act, and talk about our own aging and older people matters. It not only impacts physical and emotional health, but culturally, it impacts all of the systems around us. It’s time to embrace a new, more balanced view of aging, one that helps build an age-positive culture in Maine, and leads to support for changes necessary to support healthy aging. The morning session will feature a panel of leaders from

different segments of our economy discussing how age-bias plays out in their fields and the tools available to overcome bias to build more age-positive cultures. The afternoon will focus on community resiliency, with a specific focus on housing and the built environment. The keynote speaker is Environmental Gerontologist Emi Kiyota, PhD, founder of Ibasho. She is inspiring communities to take a principle-based approach to planning and design to build more inclusive and resilient communities.

Additional Funds for COVID-19 Relief Announced WASHINGTON, D.C. Following a bipartisan push led by U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released $25.5 billion from the Provider Relief Fund to assist health care providers facing financial difficulties due to COVID-19. The amount includes $8.5 billion to be set aside specifically for rural providers and $17 billion for Phase four for providers who can document revenue loss and expenses associated with the pandemic.

HHS’ announcement follows a bipartisan call led by Senators Collins and Shaheen to swiftly distribute these federal dollars to providers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. “The pandemic has taken an enormous toll on our health care providers, particularly long-term care facilities and rural hospitals, and we cannot ignore the financial realities they face. Three nursing homes have closed in Maine in just the past month and others have struggled to stay open,” said Senator Collins. “I was proud

to partner with Senator Shaheen to champion the Provider Relief Fund, which has been a lifeline for hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living centers and physician practices across the country. The release of this additional funding will help prevent more health care facilities from closing their doors and protect patients’ access to care.” Over the course of the pandemic, Congress has appropriated $178 billion for the PRF as well as an additional $8.5 billion for rural providers, however, the Government Accountability Office recently reported that 25 percent of the funding remained unspent. Hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living providers, clinics, and other health care providers have relied on the Provider Relief Fund to help weather the financial difficulties created by the pandemic. In rural areas in particular, the PRF has prevented facilities that struggled before and during the pandemic from falling into bankruptcy or closing entirely.

Health & Fitness About Alzheimer’s and Dementia Lisa Skinner, behavioral expert in the field of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, highlights the importance of educating ourselves on the topic of Alzheimer’s and Dementia sooner rather than later. “More people than not actually believe that Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are two completely different diseases; however, they are not. Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disease that causes dementia and is the one that we are most familiar with. There are over seventy brain diseases that also cause dementia, such as Lewy Body disease, Frontotemporal Lobe disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, to name a few. Therefore, dementia is used as a broad, or umbrella term to describe the symptoms of these brain diseases that involve memory loss and cognitive decline. It is not a separate illness. The term dementia is referring to any of the symptoms that are associated with brain disease, and the symptoms vary from person to person, and stage to stage in the progression of the disease. Not everyone who suffers from dementia displays the exact same symptomatology as another.” Many people know someone with Alzheimer’s or have even taken care of a family member with the disease. However, many people still have questions and misconceptions about the disease. “Alzheimer’s disease is the number one most common brain disease that causes dementia. Over six million Americans are currently suffering from it, and that number, according to the Alzheimer’s association, is expected to grow to over thirteen million by the year 2025, if a cure is not found. It’s a degenerative, progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions by attacking brain cell connections and brain cells, causing them to degenerate and die. The hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease are amyloid plaques and tangled bundles of fibers, called tau, that form in the brain. Another feature is the loss of connections between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. As neurons die, additional parts of the brain are affected. By the final stage of Alzheimer’s disease, the damage is widespread, and the brain tissue has shrunk significantly, leaving a person unable to perform even the

most basic tasks of daily living, and unable to communicate their needs. They will eventually require full care. There are many similarities in the symptoms that are associated with brain diseases; although, different brain diseases affect different areas of the brain. The symptoms can look the same, or similar, and are referred to as dementia. It is also not uncommon for a person to have what’s called mixed dementia, where they are suffering from more than one type of brain disease that’s causing the dementia.” With the years of behavioral experience that Lisa has, she has compiled a list of the common misconceptions of dementia. Myth #1: Dementia only causes memory loss and confusion. The truth is that dementia See DEMENTIA page 24...

Veteran Raises Funds for Daughter with Barefoot Walk SEACOAST English Army Major Chris Brannigan set out on a 53-day, 1,200-mile barefoot walk along the East Coast to raise money for clinical trials in an effort to help his nine-year-old daughter, Hasti, receive treatment for a rare genetic disorder. Brannigan began his trek on August 31 in Bar Harbor, Maine, and plans to finish in Jacksonville, N.C. He’s asking people to donate money for clinical trials on a gene therapy to treat Cornelia de Lange syndrome at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor. Brannigan was in the Portsmouth area on September 11 and posted a photo of himself on Facebook entering the Boston city limits on September 13. Covering a distance of 24-26 miles a day, Brannigan has experienced every kind of weather on his journey from extreme heat to heavy downpours of rain.

CDLS is a developmental disorder caused by a mutation in a number of different genes. People affected by the disorder have a distinct look and are often unable to lead independent lives. Symptoms range from mild to severe depending on the particular mutation. Brannigan and his wife are attempting to raise $3.5 million for clinical trials — an effort

complicated by pandemicera restrictions. Thus far, the Brannigans have raised more than $500,000 via an online fundraising page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/BarefootAcrossBritain. For more information and to follow Chris Brannigan’s progress on Facebook, go to www.facebook.com/HopeforHasti.

Health & Fitness Forgiveness - The Secret Boost For Mental Health

...DEMENTIA from page 23 impacts many other cognitive functions of the brain, and not just memory and clarity. Dementia can have a greater impact than people realize. Myth #2: Memory loss happens as you age. Dementia is not an inevitable part of aging. Mental health and brain health depend on how well you take care of your body as you age. Getting older does not mean you will get dementia. Myth #3: Dementia is hereditary. This is not necessarily true, but it can be a risk factor. How you care for yourself will have a much greater impact than genetics on dementia. Myth #4: A dementia

diagnosis signals the end of a meaningful life. This is not true. People diagnosed with dementia can lead very happy, fulfilled, meaningful lives. Myth #5 : All people with dementia become aggressive. This is not true. Although aggression can be a common behavior associated with dementia, not everyone who has dementia becomes aggressive. It is typically their way of communicating that something is wrong, like they are in pain or they are not being understood. Other people who suffer from dementia may communicate their wants and needs in other ways if they can no longer verbalize them.

We all have heard the old maxim that good mental health is the key to being able to adapt to change. According to one therapist, it’s actually a lot simpler than that. Although good mental health helps with change and is certainly important in this time of being isolated another joint activity is no less important: forgiveness. “People who have forgiven themselves and others deal with this pandemic better,” explains Dr. Terri Levine, a clinical psychologist and master life coach who wrote “About To Break”, a best-selling book on forgiveness. “When you are angry with

yourself or holding a grudge or resentment in your heart about other people, circumstances, politicians, or the COVID-19 event, you are less able to adapt to change and to have peace and comfort.” And it’s not just forgiveness that’s important, says Dr. Levine. If a person can really let go and release upset, struggle, stress, and anger, that’s the best scenario. “The more you forgive yourself, others and circumstances and situations, the better for your mental health,” she explains. The month of May is

Mental Health Awareness and the tools that support strong mental health are at the heart of forgiveness. Having practical tools to learn how to forgive can be very effective. During the pandemic, we especially need to be engaged in self-love and forgiveness. Terri is a business mentoring expert and the Chief Heartrepreneur® at Heartrepreneur, LLC. She is a best selling author, keynote speaker, radio host, and appears regularly in the media as a business coaching and consulting expert. For more information, visit www. abouttobreakbook.com.

Maine Council on Aging Recognizes Inspired Leaders BIDDEFORD / ELIOT The Maine Council on Aging (MCOA) announced their 2021 award winners who will be honored for their inspirational leadership at the upcoming virtual Wisdom Summit, Embracing a New Normal, Bouncing Forward to Build an Age-Positive Culture in Maine, on September 21. “Maine is leading the nation in reimagining how we want to live as we age,” said Jess Maurer, Executive Director of the MCOA. “Mainers want to live engaged, healthy, and productive lives long into old age, but our current systems don’t always support this goal. The people and business we’re honoring have been leading efforts to change this reality.” The 2021 Lasting Legacy Award that recognizes and celebrates the sustained leadership of people whose commitment, ideals, and actions throughout their careers have brought about lasting and positive change to the lives of older Mainers is awarded to Rick Erb. As the President and CEO of Maine Health Care Association for 20 years, Rick was a tireless advocate for long term care residents and staff, always leading with passion, integrity, and humility. Rick is also honored for his unwavering commitment to the creation, growth, and operation of the Maine Council on Aging. The 2021 Legislator of the Year Award that recognizes and celebrates the sustained efforts of legislative leaders who actively champion legislative initiatives

that improve the health, safety, and economic security of older Mainers and/or increase and improve access to quality aging services, is awarded to Representative Jessica Fay of Raymond for her unyielding commitment to and tireless advocacy on behalf of older Mainers, and for her successful efforts to bolster Maine’s Essential Support Workforce. Periodically, in addition to the Legislator of the Year, the MCOA recognizes Legislative Heroes to Older Mainers who made important differences in legislative outcomes that benefit older Mainers. In 2021, the MCOA recognizes two exceptional legislative leaders with the 2021 Legislative Hero to Older Mainers Award, Senator Marianne Moore of Calais and Representative Michele Meyer of Eliot. Both of these leaders demonstrated significant commitment to the needs of older Mainers during this legislative session, including leading efforts to solve Maine’s essential support workforce crisis. Both were instrumental in ensuring money was allocated in the budget to increase worker wages. Representative Meyer has also worked tirelessly in her community to keep older residents safe during the pandemic. The 2021 Business Excellence Award that recognizes and celebrates the sustained efforts of Maine businesses that implement strategic practices, policies, and priorities that value and sustain the contributions of older workers, support family caregivers,

Kittery Land Trust Donates 4,000 Pounds of Produce KITTERY Harvest season has been bountiful for the Kittery Land Trust. Throughout the summer, the nonprofit organization has grown and donated over 4,000 pounds of fresh produce to those in need. The Land Trust started a “Giving Garden” during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and donated nearly 1,800 pounds last season. This year, they have continued their efforts and expanded their giving. KLT is supporting seven local organizations that are helping to meet food security needs in the Seacoast region. The produce is grown on Kittery Land Trust’s newest property, Nooney Farm. The Giving Garden is tended to by an army of dedicated volunteers. Under the direction of Beth Moreau, the Giving Garden Coordinator, volunteers water, weed, harvest and supply produce to Footprints Food Pantry, Gather, End 68 Hours of Hunger, Kittery School Nutrition Program, South

Berwick Community Food Pantry, North Berwick Food Pantry, and Seacoast Fridge. “I’m so pleased that we are able to support neighbors in such a meaningful way with our land,” said Lisa Linehan, KLT’s Executive Director. “This is what community is all about.” Nooney Farm is a 30-acre property that sits directly across from Shapleigh Middle School. The location created an immediate collaboration between KLT and the school. This spring, the school district voted to bring students back to school for full time inperson learning, but did not have room for the seventh and eighth graders due to COVID-19 spacing issues. The school approached the Kittery Land Trust with an idea to bring those students to Nooney Farm on their remote learning days. The vision created an op-

The keynote for the evening will be author and journalist Colin Woodard, starting at 6 p.m. Members of the public are invited to join the Keynote Session – tickets are $5 to support the speaker (free for members). Woodard will speak on his new book, “Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of the United

States.” Members are invited to RSVP by emailing Alex Fletcher at afletcher@brickstoremuseum.org. Non-members can purchase tickets to Colin’s talk at www.brickstoremuseum.org/ calendar. For more information, call 207-985-4802 or visit www. brickstoremuseum.org.

portunity for kids to get off their computers and to have a handson learning experience with their classmates. In total, 75 students participated in the farm program and were instrumental in preparing the Giving Garden for the growing season. They grew all of the seedlings for this year’s harvest, installed irrigation and deer fencing, weeded, sifted compost, and prepared the beds in the fields. A number of the students have continued to volunteer in the Giving Garden throughout the summer. “It was such an amazing experience to witness the students develop a passion for farming,” said Beth Moreau. “They learned where their food comes from, the effort it takes to care for a garden, and how good it feels to know you are helping others.” The Kittery Land Trust will host its annual meeting at Nooney Farm on Sunday, September 19, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. The public is invited to attend and to hear all about highlights from this year, learn about projects on the horizon, and meet the recipients of KLT’s special awards. Following the meeting there will tours of the farm and light refreshments. The event is free, RSVP’s are appreciated by emailing info@kitterylandtrust.org. Nooney Farm is located at 22 Stevenson Road in Kittery. For more information, go to www.kitterylandtrust.org.

In 2020, MeHAF acted immediately and continuously to meet the emerging and on-going needs of older people during the COVID-19 crisis. Their funding had a direct

impact on the health and wellbeing of older Mainers and the core agencies that serve them. They are also recognized for their sustained efforts to implement strategic funding priorities that are intended to ensure older Mainers have meaningful access to supports and services that maintain health and quality of life. In addition to grantmaking,

MeHAF has led critical thinking on aging policy over the past five years, including through its 2017 commissioned report, Charting a Pathway Forward, Redesigning and Realigning Supports and Services for Maine’s Older Adults all the way to its 2020 “Re-imagining Residential Care Think Group”.

Food for the Champions

By Jim Fabiano Many of us have recently experienced the shock of no longer fit in any of the pants in one’s closet. We then attempt to return to the body we can recognize. I am very fortunate to be married to a beautiful woman who is conscious about her health and her weight, as well as the health and weight of her family members. My wife keeps her weight at approximately 110 pounds and has taught our daughter to do the same. I, on the other hand, represent a problem. Seeing my weight cruise over the 200-pound mark, I represent a kind of failure to my wife. She is perpetually trying to get my mass under control by serving light and healthy meals. For this my body thanks her but my mind still yearns for the type of foods my mother used to serve. For breakfast, I used to be served three eggs over light, cooked in real butter. One-half pound of bacon was easily eaten sandwiched between three or four English muffins, dripping with butter and strawberry pre-

serves. Orange juice was always served with this meal, and it was not uncommon to drink a quart and a half of fresh, cold, whole milk with the meal. One thing we never did was weigh our portions or count calories. In fact, I don’t believe we knew what a calorie was. Today for breakfast, I am served exactly three ounces of bran flakes immersed in 6 ounces of skim milk. The cereal is sweetened by a one half package of not-quite-real sugar and a half of a banana placed on the side or sliced in the cereal. For a beverage, I am allowed one cup of black coffee. I am happy to say that the coffee has a full dose of caffeine. Lunch used to be a meal of champions. My favorite consisted of at least two one-pound cheeseburgers cooked on a hibachi grill. Piles, not ounces of French fries were eaten on the side with four or five giant dill pickles whose juice totally soaked the hamburger buns. The beverage consisted of either Coke, (at the time there was only one variety), or at least

two quarts of real whole milk. We never cared how much milk fat was in the drink because I don’t think we knew what milk fat was. Today for lunch, I am given exactly 6 ounces of non-salted turkey pastrami placed with notquite-real cheese in a half pouch of Syrian bread. The pastrami is salted with - you guessed it - not quite real salt and pepper. For a beverage I have a 12-ounce can of diet non-caffeinated cola. For dessert, I have one medium sized apple. I believe the apple is real. Dinner was always a feast. We never started with a salad. In fact, I didn’t know what a salad was until I was 13. This meal always began with at least a loaf of hot, hard, and crusty bread. Butter was never a problem because we always bought the giant one-pound block. The meal itself consisted of mountains of meat covering even higher mountains of mashed potatoes. The vegetable was always engulfed with mounds of butter or cheese. Of course, one portion was never enough and each succeeding helping was at least as large as the one before. You

also never had to “make room” for desserts because we never knew what it was like not to have room. Dessert consisted of huge portions of ice cream, usually Neapolitan, drenched in hot chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Yes, you guessed it, real whipped cream.... the kind with plenty of sugar. Today for dinner, I am allotted as much salad as I want. The only drawback to this is that I can only use seasoned vinegar as dressing. The main meal consists of either turkey meat loaf or broiled chicken breast excluding the skin. One small red potato is allocated with one half a teaspoon of, you guessed it again, not-quite-real margarine. The vegetable is always fresh but never covered by anything except its natural skin. Dessert consists of one cup of frozen yogurt or one not-quitereal yogurt fudgicle. After dinner snacks were big in my past. On most occasions a box of cheese nips, or at least two bags of potato chips were gobbled up. Milk flowed like water. To this day, the best taste of my past is a highly salted potato chip dripping in its

own highly saturated fat being washed down by a quart of ice cold milk. I even remember licking the inside of the bag. Today I am allocated one cup of not-so-real chips. I can’t honestly call them potato chips because in reality I don’t know what they are. One time, I remember chewing one of them for so long my wife finally asked me what I had in my mouth. It turned out to be a coupon that had been placed in the bag. I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the chips. Come to think of it, the coupon had a better texture. Water is big in my house now and I am excited to tell you that I am allowed as much water as my bladder can take. If it sounds like I am crying, I’m not. I praise the day my wife came into my life because she obviously saved it. It’s just that my taste buds won’t forget the days when ignorance was bliss. From experience, I can tell you that ignorance tastes much better than knowledge. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York. You can contact him at james.fabiano60@gmail.com

Haiti Relief Team Supported by Seacoast Maine and NH SEACOAST A doctor and her two daughters whose home in southwest Haiti was flattened in the August 13 earthquake are now sleeping in a tent donated by an emergency room doctor living in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The relationship between this Haitian doctor, Macdaline Bernard, and New Hampshire doctor, Ira Lubkin, grew out of a seacoast relief effort involving hundreds of people from New Hampshire and Maine donating medical supplies, tents and tarps to help victims of the earthquake that left thousands of families homeless, including Dr. Bernard. Many of the residents throughout the seacoast who collected more than 1,000 pounds of medical supplies and baby food and raised nearly $30,000, are motivated by the knowledge that their donations go directly to people who are suffering.

Lucia Anglade stands with suitcases from Maine and New Hampshire headed for Haiti from JFK.

The donations went to Life and Hope Haiti, a small Haitian-run organization that has had significant support from Seacoast Maine and New Hampshire for 15 years. The group of some 20 doctors, nurses and medical technicians, all Haitian and HaitianAmerican, traveled into small

villages near Les Cayes that had been damaged by the earthquake but had received little to no medical care, according to Lucia Anglade of West Babylon, NY, Life and Hope founder who led the group. The trip was made possible in part because Jet Blue Airlines provided free round trip passage to Port au Prince. Team members also flew on a United Nations humanitarian helicopter to the earthquake zone to avoid ground travel, which has become risky due to unrest since the assassination of Haiti’s president. Forty tarps donated by a South Berwick woman, went directly to families waiting at the hospital in Saint-Louis-duSud who had lost their homes, according to Anglade, who personally handed out the supplies. At the same time, Anglade distributed the many bottles and packets of donated Pedialyte

Northeast Credit Union Announces 2021 Honorees & Kind Kids’ Initiative SEACOAST Northeast Credit Union, together with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats and the Portland Sea Dogs, is pleased to announce the 2021 Fourth Annual Nice Catch honorees as part of its Celebrating Kind Kids initiative. Northeast CU established the Nice Catch initiative to recognize New Hampshire and Maine kids who consistently demonstrate compassion, empathy and kindness to make our communities kinder and happier places to live, grow and learn. “The stories we received for these nominations are truly inspiring! It gives us great hope to read so many heartwarming chronicles of our young members as they share kindness and compassion towards others” stated Northeast Credit Union’s Chief Retail Officer, Andrea Pruna. “As part of the credit union philosophy, Northeast’s Love Your Community Project’s purpose is to support and celebrate people helping people and all of our Nice Catch nominees are shining examples of just that!” Northeast CU Nice Catch initiative received over 100 outstanding nominations from New Hampshire and Maine; twelve (12) finalists were celebrated with a VIP baseball experience

and baby food to families she found seeking medical care. The team worked the towns of Saint-Louis-du-Sud, Camp-Perrin and Chantal. They worked in church yards and at schools, in closed hospitals and in courtyards. Sometimes the Life and Hope team appeared to be the only medical group there, Anglade said. Much of the medical care involved tending to bruises and lacerations to heads and limbs, injuries caused by falling blocks, Anglade said. And the need for shelter and food was pervasive. Seacoast families, as well as the South Berwick-Eliot and York Rotary clubs have been supporting Life and Hope and it’s school since 2007, building it from a two-room school with 35 children to a 13-room school with 500 students. For more information and to make a donation, visit www. lifeandhopehaiti.org or www. facebook.com/lifeandhopehaiti.

at a Portland Sea Dogs or New Hampshire Fisher Cats baseball game where, with friends and family, they threw out the ceremonial first pitch. In addition to this recognition, their kindness story was shared on each team’s Jumbotron, through social media and received a special gift bag from the baseball team and Northeast Credit Union. Read all these great stories of kindness and compassion at www. necu.org/nicecatch. Congratulations to the 2021 Nice Catch Honorees: Chase L. of Biddeford; Ella M. of Biddeford; Lilyanne M.D. of Portsmouth, NH; Tyzo D. of Kittery; Jordan R. of Conway, NH; Hadley M. of Portsmouth, NH; Jacob L. of Berlin, NH; Caitlin M. of Portsmouth, NH; Aya H.A. of Manchester, NH; Ruby E. of Hopkinton, NH; Olivia H. of Charlestown, NH; and Gibson G. of Lee, NH. Since 1936, Northeast Credit Union, has been a member-owned and not-for-profit organization providing financial services to its member-owners. From humble beginnings at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Northeast has grown to more than $1.9 billion in assets, over 140,000 members and 19 branches throughout New Hampshire and Maine.

Susan Ann Hutchins, 72 KITTERY – Susan Ann Hutchins passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 2, 2021 surrounded by her loving family at the Hyder Family Hospice House in Dover, NH, following a tough battle of Mantle Cell Lymphoma. She was born on April 24, 1949 in West Hartford, CT, to William and Louise Moran. She grew up in Meriden, CT, where she attended Ben Franklin Elementary, Lincoln Jr High, and graduated from Orville H. Platt High School. Susan was a lifelong school bus driver of 35+ years. She treated all of the kids on her bus like they were her own and knew all of them by name. She drove for many schools over the years, but York was her last and also her favorite. Susan’s favorite part of bus driving was all the field trips and sporting events that she got to attend. She loved watching all the kids play and she was their biggest fan. She also loved being a lunch lady for several years at York High School. She was also a member of the Red Hat Society and loved their many laughs together. Susan was widowed by her husband of 50 years, Ronald Hutchins, in 2018. Susan was a dedicated mother of four chil-

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

dren. Susan’s favorite role in life was being a Nana and she was lucky enough to have nine grandchildren to spoil. She spent as much time as possible with them and loved to travel and make memories with them constantly. She was loved and will truly be missed by her family, friends or anyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Susan is survived by her four children: daughter Tracy Buffington of Somersworth, NH, and father of her grandchildren Terre Buffington of Florida; son Erin Hutchins and wife Nancy of Stratham, NH; daughter Rebecca Siraco and husband Ronald Jr. of Eliot; and son Christopher Hutchins and wife Melynda of Somersworth, NH. She is also survived by her nine grandchildren: Tyler and Samantha Buffington; Erik and Ryan Hutchins; Josef, Danielle and Juliana Siraco; and Harper and Charlie Hutchins. She was predeceased by her parents and granddaughter Tabitha Leann Buffington. Susan touched so many lives and will be missed by so many. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 16, at the Regatta Banquet Center, 28 Levesque Drive in Eliot, 1-4 p.m. Please visit www.advan-

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.

...MASTELLER from page 29 Kevin enjoyed being in the outdoors, even in bad weather. He loved the feeling of being in the woods and part of nature. He loved hunting with his father, son, brothers, friends and fishing with his children. Kevin loved playing hockey and was on skates in Wisconsin even before he could remember, playing into adulthood. One of the many great things about Kevin, was his willingness to help someone in need, no matter who it was. Kevin, as a teenager, volunteered on a missionary trip to Belize in Central

Saiauski Joins YCCC for Cross Country, Track & Field, Culinary Arts WELLS / KITTERY Thomas Saiauski from Kittery, recently graduated from Traip Academy, and is now attending the York County Community College in Wells, majoring in Culinary Arts with emphasis on baking and pastry. Many factors go into a student’s decision on where to go to college – academic programs, cost, location, support services, athletics. Saiauski is excited about all the opportunities at the local college by the sea. His love for cross country and track & field began partway through his high school career. He started track sophomore year and cross country his junior year, specializing in events such as the 200 meter. During

his senior year, he competed in his school’s state championship 4×100 meter relay and finished in third place in the 4×400 meter relay. He plans to run in events like the 800 and 1500 meters during his time at YCCC. Saiauski said, “I’m looking forward to meeting new people, continuing studies past high school, and improving as a person and an athlete.” Associate Dean of Student Services Jennifer Laney said, “Thomas will be an amazing addition to our York County Hawks family. Not only is he a strong academic student and a talented athlete, but he is also a hardworking, committed leader. Thomas will be a great fit with the program we are building

here at York County.” This article was edited from one provided by Anna Allen to YCCC. For more information, visit at www.yccc.edu.

Meagher Named Executive VP at Bank KENNEBUNK Kennebunk Savings has announced the promotion of Senior Commercial Credit Officer Lex Meagher to Executive Vice President. Meagher joined the bank in 2011 after receiving his law degree from the University of New Hampshire School of Law and clerking for the Maine Superior Court and Supreme Court. The culture at Kennebunk Savings made an immediate and strong impression on him. “Working with a team of genuine and helpful people committed to each other and their community – what else would you want?” Meagher said. In 2019, Meagher moved from his role as a legal adviser as General Counsel to a role as a decision maker as Senior Commercial Credit Officer. “Lex has a thoughtful, attentive, and personable approach that people immediately respond to – both customers and fellow employees,” said Bradford C. Paige, the bank’s president and CEO. “He has been an

asset to this company for a long time, and I am pleased to have him join the Executive Management team.” The ability to assist members of the local business community in his current role is very meaningful to Meagher. “As the Senior Commercial Credit Officer, I work to shape the direction and operation of commercial lending – which unlocks so many opportunities for people in the business community,” he said. “I can so clearly see the tangible benefit of our day-today work.”
