Hunters for the Hungry Program On Target STATEWIDE The Maine Hunters for the Hungry Program was founded in 1996 and its impact has grown steadily ever since. Maine sportsmen can play a major role in game management while providing thousands of nutritious meals to hungry people across the state. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry distribute the donations to food pantries, soup kitchens,
shelters affiliated with The Emergency Food Assistance Program. The Maine Hunters for the Hungry Program, a collaboration with Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, works with Maine Wardens, biologists, Marine Patrol Officers, Maine State Troopers and caring, generous hunters towards a common goal of helping Mainer’s in need. The program accepts bear,
deer and moose donations. Road kill donations are also accepted, provided the meat is not damaged. Hunters do not pay for the processing of donated meat. Meat processing costs are paid for by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry or the charity that receives the food. Hunters choosing to keep their game can still donate a few pounds to the program. The program has been successful annually by supply-

Nearly $3M for Perkins Cove Revitalization Project
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a senior member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, announced that she secured $2,850,000 for the Perkins Cove Revitalization Project in the draft Fiscal Year 2022 Transportation and Housing Appropriations bill.

the only southerly access to the numerous small businesses, restaurants, and shops located in and adjacent to the Cove. This funding will reconstruct the footbridge as well as the Harbormaster’s Quarters while ensuring that the bridge’s iconic character remains intact,” said Senator Collins. “I will continue to champion this funding as the appropriations process moves forward.” The Perkins Cove Pedestrian Footbridge is the only remaining wooden, double-leaf draw-footbridge in the United States. Senator Collins also secured $150,000 in the Fiscal Year 2022 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill to study and plan for a maintenance dredge of Perkins Cove to support commercial fishing, charter fleets, and recreational boating.

Eliot Time Capsule to be Opened in 2070
ELIOT Eliot closed out its Maine Bicentennial “200 plus 1” celebration with the burial of its time capsule on October 15. Inside is a collection of items that will tell people 50 years from now what it was like to live during
2020/2021. Included are coins, town documents, news paper articles, official and non-official school shirts from the graduating classes of 2020 and 2021, a bronze paperweight with the preamble to the American Legion constitution, the newsletter of

about the special importance of the children being there to see this time capsule, as they will remember this day and be here to see it opened in 2070. Many things in our daily lives will have changed and the things in the time capsule will be a reminder of the time of their youth. One of those things, the masks we wear, he mused, will hopefully be a thing of the past. Rep. Michele Meyer, who, with Senator Mark Lawrence, kicked off Eliot’s celebration in 2019, returned to help close things out. She addressed the group saying - “Good morning. I want to thank the Eliot Bicentennial Committee for the opportunity to take part in this, the final event of Eliot’s Celebration of Maine’s 200th birthday. It seems like just yesterday that I ran the bicentennial flag up the pole at the town hall, signaling the start of what was to be
a year long commemoration of our statehood. We simply had no idea, on that lovely summer day, of what lay ahead. That we as Mainers would find ourselves challenged in ways we simply could not have imagined and that we, like the Mainers who have come before us, would face the unknown with grace and fortitude, finding ways to build community even as we distanced ourselves to keep each other safe.” Following the service Steve Robinson and members of his town highway crew dug the hole and lowered the time capsule cylinder into the ground. A large stone waited patiently nearby, to be placed over it and a bronze plaque will be secured on it, so that its place will be known for the planned unsealing on Memorial Day in 2070. Funds for the project were provided by a Maine200 grant.

Audubon Donates Birding Backpacks to KFL KENNEBUNK The Kennebunk Free Library is excited to announce that York County Audubon has donated two birding backpacks to the library. Beginning in October, KFL cardholders will be able to check out the backpacks for up to three weeks at a time. Each backpack contains everything you will need to go searching for birds in Maine. The kit’s binoculars will help you see the birds up close. The birding guides will help you sort out which bird is which! Checklists for both children and adults will help you organize your bird findings and perhaps start your birding “life list”. The suggestions about where to find birds and the maps of local land trusts will point you in the direction of the birds and their favorite habitats. The Kennebunk area is rich with bird life, and whether you’re trying out a new hobby, teaching your children, or simply wanting
to enjoy a weekend in nature, KFL & YCA hope that these birding backpacks will help you get to know the beautiful birds of
Maine. For more information, call 207-985-2173 or email kfl@kennebunklibrary.org.

Registration Now Open for Energy Dept. National Science Bowl STATEWIDE Registration has now opened for the 32nd National Science Bowl (NSB), hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Thousands of students compete in the contest annually as it has grown into one of the largest, academic math and science competitions in the country. Teams of students – four or five students and a teacher who serves as a coach - can sign up to participate in the NSB by registering with the coordinator for their regional competition. Details can be found on the NSB registration page. The competition is divided into two categories: high school and middle school. Regional competitions typically last one or two days and take place throughout the country between January and March. During the competitions, students participate in a fast-
paced verbal forum to solve technical problems and answer questions in all branches of science and math. To help prepare, teams can use sample questions from the NSB website. The winning team from each qualifying regional competition will be eligible to compete in the National Finals held in Washington, D.C., from April 28 to May 2, 2022, with all expenses paid. The national event consists of several days of science activities and sightseeing, along with the competitions. Depending upon guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state of Maryland, and the District of Columbia, the National Finals may be changed to a virtual event. “The National Science Bowl® is a great opportunity for young people across America to See SCIENCE page 30...

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Creepy Classic Thriller ‘Nosferatu’ to be Shown at Leavitt Theatre OGUNQUIT Get into the Halloween spirit with the classic silent horror film ‘Nosferatu’ (1922), the first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel ‘Dracula’ on Saturday, October 30 at 7 p.m. at the Leavitt Theatre, 259 Main St., Route 1, Ogunquit. The screening will feature live music for the movie by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis. General admission is $12 per person and costumes are encouraged! ‘Nosferatu’, directed by German filmmaker F.W. Murnau, remains a landmark work of the cinematic horror genre. It was among the first movies to use visual design to convey unease and terror. To modern viewers, the passage of time has made this unusual film seem even more strange and otherworldly. It’s an atmosphere that silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis will enhance in improvising live music on the spot for the screening. “The original ‘Nosferatu’ is a film that seems to get creepier as more time goes by,” said Rapsis, a resident of Bedford, N.H. who accompanies silent film screenings at the Leavitt and venues across the nation. “It’s a great way to celebrate Halloween and the power of silent film to transport audiences to strange and unusual places,” Rapsis said. In ‘Nosferatu,’ actor Max Schreck portrays the title character, a mysterious count from Transylvania who travels to the German city of Bremen to take up residence. In the town, a rise in deaths from the plague is attributed to the count’s arrival. Only when a young woman reads “The Book of Vampires” does it become clear how to rid the town of this frightening menace. Director Murnau told

Trick the story with strange camera angles, weird lighting, and special effects that include sequences deliberately speeded up. Although ‘Nosferatu’ is suitable for all family members, the overall program may be too intense for very young children to enjoy. Despite the status of ‘Nosferatu’ as a landmark of early cinema, another scary aspect of the film is that it was almost lost forever. The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Stoker’s novel, with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain rights to the novel. Thus “vampire” became “Nosferatu” and “Count Dracula” became “Count Orlok.” After the film was released, Stoker’s widow filed a copyright infringement lawsuit and won; all known prints and negatives were destroyed under the terms of settlement. However, intact copies of the film would surface later, allowing ‘Nosferatu’ to be restored and screened today as audiences originally saw it. In reviving ‘Nosferatu,’ the Leavitt Theatre aims to show silent film as it was meant to be seen—in restored prints, on a large screen, with live music, and with an audience. “All those elements are important parts of the silent film experience,” said Rapsis, who will accompany the film. “Recreate those conditions, and classics of early

At Clay Hill Farm Presents… this season, Simpson takes the stage once again as Edgar A. Poe in Poe: Tales of Fear & Suspense, telling terrifying tales such as “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Cask of Amontillado,” “The
Raven,” and more. As the audience sits mesmerized by Simpson’s sometimes maniacal presence, a heart-beat pulsing in their ears, Simpson weaves in and out of the audience, telling the story of that ‘Vulture-Eyed Old Man’ and the beating of his incessant heart, descending into madness with theatrical brilliance. “I love to see the audiences faces as I tell this particular story,” says Simpson. “Seeing them squirm in

their seats, especially while they enjoy exquisite fare such as Clay Hill Farm’s famous Prime-Rib while I weave a tale of pre-meditated murder... it’s fantastic.” Having a well-established background in interactive theater, improvisation, theater and musical theater, Simpson has brought the likes of Edgar A. Poe, Charles Dickens, Robert Frost, and many others to the Clay Hill Farm Restaurant ‘stage’. “Interactive theater is my love!” says Simpson. “Getting off stage and into the audience creating imaginative and bold character choices that pull your audience into the story is so gratifying.” During Covid in 2020, Clay Hill Farm brought the show outside. This year, the show returns to the weather safety of inside, with Clay Hill Farm’s spacious seating for dining and show viewing safety. Tickets are $25 per person, plus the cost of food and beverage. Performances are Friday, October 29 at 6 p.m., two Halloween shows on Sunday, October 31 at 1 and 6 p.m., matinées at 1 p.m. on Saturday, November

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~
Dear Computer Lady, Do you recommend shutting down completely each day? What are the pros and cons? Thanks, Linda Dear Linda, I do recommend shutting down completely once a day. Here is why. As you use your computer, small errors can occur in the working memory (aka RAM). When you put the computer to sleep, or hibernate, you are copying the contents of the working memory (errors and all) onto a temporary spot on the hard drive, where it will be loaded back into the RAM (errors and all) when you wake the computer back up. When you shut the computer down completely, you are not saving the contents of RAM, and when you start the computer back up, a fresh copy of files is loaded directly from the hard drive. This results in fewer errors, and a better working system. The only con I can think of to shutting down once each day is that you have to wait a little longer for the computer to start back up, however this is certainly worth it PAID POLITICAL AD
if your computer runs faster and with less errors the rest of the day. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, After backing up all the information that I had on an old computer to my recently purchased new computer, I am unable to open some saved Outlook 2010 files. They transferred over from my old computer into my “Documents” folder on my new computer and after getting the message that I had to move them to my new Outlook 2010 file, I did, but still they would not open and just recently that file shows that it is empty. But I do see the following files in my Documents folder = Archive. pst; My Outlook Data File (1). pst; and Outlook.pst. How can I open these to retrieve the saved information? Your help is appreciated, Penny Dear Penny, The best way to retrieve the messages in those files is to open Outlook first, then use the “Import” function to import the messages, contacts and settings into Outlook. I don’t have Outlook 2010 on my computer so I can’t give you step by step directions, but usually the import function is either in the “File” menu or the “Tools” menu.

Chromebooks? I bought one 6 months ago and I love it! It boots very quickly, no viruses or malware, no bloatware, automatic updates, no software installations, no complicated OS, no slowing down, fast charging, safe from hackers, inexpensive, etc. I have had a Dell PC and a MacBook and much prefer my Acer Chromebook. Shari Dear Shari, I think a Chromebook is great if you are using your computer for online activities. All the features that you mention are great. The only downside to a Chromebook is that you can’t install Windows software on it like you can on your PC. For example, you can’t install Quickbooks on your Chromebook, but you can use Quickbooks online service. You can’t install Microsoft Office, but you can use Google Docs online. You might not be able to install your favorite game, but you can play online games. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have always appreciated your advice and have learned so much throughout the years. I thank you! My question is this: I have an old computer. I know that I am running out of time before buying a new desktop computer but I’m trying to hold on a little longer. I would like to know your advice about what I can do about prolonging the life of this computer. Any suggestions about which types of large files to delete or scans to run? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Becky Dear Becky, What a great question! Here are my suggestions for using an older computer as long as possible. 1. As long as there is plenty of space on your hard drive, you won’t need to delete any files or run any scans. While I run scans on hard drives to check the health of the drive, if you run them at home on a regular basis, you can actually shorten the life of the drive because you are making it
work harder. 2. Make sure you protect the computer from electrical surges. I always keep my computer plugged into an uninterruptible power supply, also known as a UPS. You can buy one at your local electronics or office supply store. In addition to that, make sure you unplug the computer during storms that
Common Signs of Identity Theft You receive statements or bills in the mail for accounts you never opened. If you get a bill for an account you didn’t authorize, someone may have gotten a hold of your personal information and opened an account in your name. Contact the company immediately to find out if there’s been a mistake and check your credit report for unusual activity. You are surprised by being denied a loan or credit. You may think you have great credit, but if you apply for a credit card or loan and are shocked to find that you’ve been rejected, you may be the victim of identity theft. Thieves can open accounts in your name, run up the bill, and then default on payments, ruining your credit before you know what they’ve been up to. Check your credit report a few times a year to make sure no one has opened any credit accounts in your name. Your regular bills stop showing up in the mail. If you haven’t signed up to go paperless and your bills stop showing up in the mail, it could be a sign that someone has changed your billing address. Contact your creditors and inquire if they sent the bill and if the address they have on file is correct. You notice suspicious activity in your bank account. Unfamiliar charges, new accounts, and withdrawals you didn’t make are all signs of identity theft. Review your bank account regularly to make sure no one

If you notice any strange charges on your credit card bill, report them immediately. Even a small inconsistency can be a sign of fraud. You get authentication messages for accounts you didn’t set up. Scammers could be trying to set up a new account in your name. If you receive unexpected authentication messages, don’t reply. Review your bank accounts, credit card statements, and credit report to make sure no one has succeeded in making transactions in your name. The IRS rejects your tax return. If your tax return gets rejected, someone may have filed in your name and made off with your tax refund. Contact the IRS if you suspect your tax identity has been compromised. The IRS informs you a tax return has been filed on your behalf. Sometimes the IRS catches a fraudulent tax return before the fake filer succeeds in getting your return. When this happens, you may receive a letter from the IRS with instructions on how you can verify your identity and prevent identity thieves from using your social security number for tax fraud in the future. Your credit score inexplicably improves or deteriorates. If your credit score is suddenly very low, a fraudster may have maxed out your credit without paying the bill. On the other hand, if your credit is improving when you haven’t done anything to earn it, an identity thief may be building up your credit so they can run through it later. You are suddenly denied medical coverage. Scammers can steal your identity to use your health benefits too. If you get medical bills in the mail, but you haven’t been to the doctor, someone may be using up your benefits in your name. The same is true if you are unexpectedly denied coverage. Contact your insurance company to find out if you’ve been the victim of medical identity theft. Debt collectors call about See THEFT page 30...

FINANCE & CAREER Is Buying A Second Home On Your To-Do List? Owning a second home can provide retirees – or even younger families – a mountain retreat or a house at the beach for those family vacations or quick weekend getaways. But if buying a second home is on your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2021, be sure to consider all the upsides and downsides before committing, says Patrick Rush (www. patrickrushtfa.com), CEO of Triad Financial Advisors and the ForbesBooks author of Gain Big and Give Back: Financial Planning with Intention. “Many retirees end up regretting it,” Rush says. “They feel they are forced to go to that second home every weekend just because they spent so much on it. A vacation property or second home can certainly provide a lot of joy, but it rarely works out financially.” That doesn’t stop people from buying
them, though. The National Association of Home Builders estimates that Americans own about 7.4 million second homes, which is about 5.6 percent of the total housing stock. “People tend to purchase a second home either as a rental property or a vacation home, which they might also rent for part of the year,” Rush says. “But unless you’re in a hot real estate market, the return on investment usually isn’t worth the hassle. There are better ways of growing your money.” Rush says a few things to know about investing in a second home include: Real estate doesn’t automatically mean easy money. People mistakenly believe real estate provides a guaranteed return, but that’s not always true. Rush recalls one client who, over Rush’s vehement objections, withdrew all of his retirement money to build an expensive second home.
The client was certain the house would pay off, but he eventually was forced to sell it for half his investment. Consider the overall impact on your life. Most people don’t have endless streams of money, even if they have done well for themselves financially. So, a splurge in one area often requires a sacrifice in another. “If you want the second home, then perhaps an Alaskan cruise won’t be in the budget,” Rush says. “It comes down to what your priorities are.” Upkeep can become overwhelming. People tend to overlook the ancillary costs that make owning a second home expensive, Rush says. Take those into consideration as you make your decision. “Property taxes, homeowners association dues, insurance, and maintenance start to add up,” he says. “Renting the house out when you aren’t using it does provide an income stream, but
managing the property and dealing with tenants is a hassle. You can hire a property manager, but that has its own disadvantages.” Renting can work just as well. While it might feel exhilarating to own a mountain home in North Carolina or a Pacific Ocean beach house, Rush says another option is simply to rent a place for a week or a weekend whenever you’re in need of a getaway. Patrick Rush (www.patrickrushtfa.com), the ForbesBooks author of the Amazon Bestseller Gain Big and Give Back: Financial Planning with Intention, is
the CEO of Triad Financial Advisors. He is a Certified Financial Planner and NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisor. With more than two decades of experience, Rush has received national recognition as a top financial advisor by Forbes, Barron’s and the Financial Times, and Triad Financial Advisors was recognized by the Invest in Others Foundation as a “Charitable Champion.” The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.
Seeking to Reach Families who have Pingree’s Statement on Unclaimed Tax Credit Payments S.S. Benefit Increase
AUGUSTA With the last advance Child Tax Credit (CTC) payment due to families on October 15, advocates across the state are leaving no stone unturned to make sure all Maine kids get the tax credits they deserve. Virtually all Maine families qualify for the credit, but households that don’t typically file taxes may not know this extra income is for them. These same navigators will help to determine eligibility and help families to sign up to receive CTC payments at www.GetCTC.org/MEJ. Families can use this portal until November 15, 2021. Families can still claim the credit after November 15 when they file taxes and receive the credit in their tax refund. For information about free tax preparation, visit www.cashmaine.org or call 211. Millions of American families are eligible for the advance credits. Through the American Rescue Plan, eligibility for the tax credit has expanded and almost all families qualify for up to $300 per child per month. Anyone who has a child with a Social Security number can get the credit, even if they don’t have one themselves. It is not necessary to be a tax filer to claim the credit. Advocates from teachers
to medical professionals to tax advocates and economic justice groups—many of them members of a newly formed Credit to Kids Collaborative--are reaching out to communities across Maine to help families claim the credit. “Our CA$H Navigators are ready to help anyone in the state of Maine to get the Child Tax Credit,” said New Ventures Maine Statewide Asset Manager and CA$H Maine Program Manager Janet Smith. “We want the credit to make as much of a positive impact on families and children as possible, especially when big purchases such as home heating fuel and snow tires are coming up,” she said. Humam Shawqi, a father and student from Bangor said, “The monthly Child Tax Credit started just at the right time
when this money would be most useful to pay expenses, like school clothes for my daughters, car repairs and an inspection sticker, and cash to put food on the table at the end of the month. Things will be easier for us to get through school. We should make certain every family in Maine gets this help.” In addition, families with low incomes were particularly likely to spend the monthly payment on necessities: food, utilities, clothing, and rent (although many families also qualify for rental assistance, and should apply again if they have been turned down). Households with incomes above $25,000 also used the credit on necessities and were using the credit to pay down debt or save the funds for emergency and future expenses.
AUGUSTA Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) issued the following statement in response to the Social Security Administration’s announcement that its beneficiaries will see a 5.9% increase in their benefit checks for 2022, marking the largest boost to benefits in four decades: “Social Security is a lifeline for veterans and millions of Americans living on a fixed income—including one in four Mainers—and the buying power of social security checks have
diminished for years. With an average benefit increase around $92 a month starting in January, this will make a major positive difference in Maine, the oldest state in the nation. I’m thrilled by this increase, but Congress has the power to do more by passing legislation to strengthen Social Security for American seniors today and for generations to come.” The 5.9% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase also applies to veteran benefits.

Halloween Candy Collection Under Way KENNEBUNK The Kennebunk-Kennebunkport-Arundel Chamber of Commerce is now collecting Halloween candy for Summer Street residents and Kennebunkport Rec’s Trail of Treats. Donations should be dropped off at 16 Water St. by Monday, October 25, and chamber volunteers will distribute the candy before Halloween.
Homeowners on historic Summer Street have traditionally served up more than 2,000 trick-or-treaters of all ages from around the region. Locals can ensure the tradition continues by supporting the candy drive. Kennebunkport Rec started a new Trail of Treats in 2020 as a way for local families to trick-ortreat safely during the pandemic and it will continue again this
year on Saturday, October 30. The Chamber will be distributing candy to both causes. Trick-or-Treating among area businesses in downtown Kennebunk and Lower Village, plus Dock Square in Kennebunkport, will return this year on Friday, October 29, 4-6 p.m. For a list of participating businesses, visit www.gokennebunks.com.
Known for creating spectacular, animated illuminated displays synchronized with music during the festive Christmas season, Stan Norton and his family have created a spooktacular Halloween presentation for visitors again this year. Located at 213 Canterbury Road
in Wells and on display from 5-9 p.m., visitors can view the lights from the comfort of their own vehicles and as always, and as always, the Nortons will be collecting canned goods for the food pantry and cash donations for Make-a-Wish. The Nortons ask visitors
to please remember safety first by driving slowly through the neighborhood to see the lights and to please be respectful to the neighbors. For more information, go to www.nortonlights.org/ or #NortonLights, #ScareNShare.

Out On A Ledge Against Bullying
ELIOT Eliot’s Owen Clark recently presented a personal letter to the public about the devastating effects of bullying. The following is edited from the original which can be found at www. facebook.com/york.maine.77/ posts/1223271951486918. He is in the process of creating a video which is mentioned in his letter and can also be found, when completed, on at www.facebook.com/ york.maine.77/, the Facebook page of his father, local author Jody Clark. According to www.stopbullying.gov, October happens to be National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. Please also visit this website as a resource to help raise awareness in our small southern Maine communities. Forward by Jody Clark: We are taught at a young age to respect and look up to our heroes. They seem older, wiser, braver, and at times, bigger than life. But sometimes, our heroes can be much younger than us, yet still have all those amazing attributes. I’m 51 years old. My
son is 16. And he is my hero. He is strong, brave, and more resilient than I could ever dream of being. Over the past four years, he has endured different forms of bullying at school. Some subtle. Some so hurtful it would cut anyone to the core. To be regretfully honest, my wife and I didn’t take it seriously at first. Even though he claimed it was a majority of his class singling him out, we just assumed he was being hyper-sensitive and exaggerating. He was always a social kid with an amazing personality and great sense of humor. He’ll be just fine, we thought. We were wrong… on all accounts. He was not fine, nor was he exaggerating about the number of kids against him. Last week he decided to be proactive and to write an open letter to his classmates, teachers, administrators, parents, and to whoever would listen. To be perfectly clear, we are not pointing fingers at the teachers or the administrators. It’s a tough, toxic social media world we live in. We’re all trying to do our best, but the fact is, we need to do better. Better role models, better parents, better people. Anyway, here’s our son’s letter, and we hope
you take his message to heart – Words Do Matter. Letter by Owen Clark: I am 16 years old and I am a sophomore in high school. I decided to write this letter and make a video because I’m tired. I’m tired of being treated [badly], tired of being made fun of. And I’m not talking about one or two kids, I’m talking about dozens and dozens – both boys and girls, groups in the hallways, before class, in the cafe, anywhere people congregate. I’m writing this letter to let everyone know exactly what words can do to a person. In 7th grade, I started sitting by myself at lunch. It was not because I wanted to be a loner, [but] a case of not fitting in with any other group. I didn’t have a clique. I tried sitting at random tables, but it was always made known that I was not welcomed there – sometimes by their expressions, and sometimes by their comments. Other times, it felt like no one even looked up at all. As I sat by myself at the empty lunch table, it felt like everyone was staring at me. I was made fun of for not having friends, for how I dressed, and even for the music I listened to. I remember in elementary school when teachers would talk about anti-bullying and helping students feel more involved, they’d say, “If you see someone at lunch sitting alone or someone at recess playing by themself, go play with them or go sit with them.” All the students would say, “Oh, I always do that!” But I knew firsthand, they didn’t. They were calling me the usual names – loser, creep, weirdo – and giving me the usual attitude. I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I

Open Enrollment Begins Nov. 1 for Health Plans in Maine PORTLAND Joined by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita BrooksLaSure, Governor Janet Mills applauded CMS’s recent approval of Maine’s State-based Health Insurance Marketplace – www. coverme.gov – and announced that, beginning Friday, October 15, 2021 Maine people can window shop for plans using a new tool called “Plan Compare.” The “Plan Compare” tool was built using feedback from on-the-ground consumer experience, and it allows Maine people to more easily browse and compare plans based on monthly premiums. Beginning Friday, Maine people can visit www.coverme.gov and use Plan Compare to window shop for started cutting myself. A lot. I just wanted to feel a different kind of pain for once – a physical pain [that would distract] me from the constant emotional and mental pain. It gave me something to focus on. On multiple occasions I thought, “Should I just kill myself?” I thought of multiple ways, stood on multiple ledges, yet something deep down prevented me from doing it. I used to wear long-sleeve shirts to hide my scars, but on the last week of school, my parents found out about the cutting. Seeing the looks on their faces and the tears in their eyes made it one of the worst days of my life. But looking back at it now, it was a blessing because I was able to get the help I needed. That summer I started therapy, and I was diagnosed with clinical depression. The doctor prescribed Prozac for me, and even though I wasn’t a fan of being on medication, I did notice a difference. An even better therapy was when I started skateboarding. Every time I had the urge to hurt myself, I’d go skate instead. It felt like lucid dreaming and all those words – loser, creep, weirdo – seemed to fade. The close of summer came, and the fear of 8th grade came with it. I started the year off with more confidence. But it didn’t last… The same mean people. The same mean words. And I started to believe it. I could brush off a mean comment here and there, but when it happens almost every day for 1000 days, it starts to deteriorate your sense of self worth. Even though I cut myself, it was those words that lead me there. [I didn’t do it] as often as the See OWEN page 26...
plans without having to sign up or enter any personal information. When Open Enrollment begins on November 1, consumers then can use the tool to help them enroll in a plan. Governor Mills also announced that the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office of the Health Insurance Marketplace will increase funding to Navigators to expand outreach and enrollment activities during the upcoming Open Enrollment Period. The Department will increase funding for a statewide consumer help line and training and technical assistance to $350,000 in 2022 from $200,000 in 2021. Earlier this month, Governor Mills announced that CMS approved the state’s application to run a State-based Marketplace. A State-based Marketplace allows Maine to customize the Marketplace to fit Maine people’s needs and to tailor outreach and resources toward uninsured communities. Maine was one of three states recently approved by CMS to run its own marketplace. “Our State-based marketplace puts Maine in the driver’s seat when it comes to health care,” said Governor Janet Mills. “From extending our open enrollment period to creating a pregnancy-related special enrollment period to developing a new tool to easily compare health plans, the creation of our own Marketplace gives us greater flexibility to customize and better fit the needs of Maine people so that we can improve access to highquality, affordable coverage. I am grateful to CMS for its approval and encourage Maine people to visit www.coverme. gov to window shop for plans and sign up beginning on November 1.” In addition to expanding access to MaineCare for more than 85,000 Maine people, Governor Mills’ Made for Maine Health Coverage Act – which passed the Legislature with a strong bipartisan majority – authorized the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to run a State-based Health Insurance Marketplace and made some of the most common medical visits less costly, as part of a larger plan to improve private health insurance for Maine people and small businesses.

Autoworks Joins Effort to Raise Funds for Breast Cancer Vaccine Research
KITTERY Patrick Horan, new owner of Autoworks in Kittery, and owner of Precision Imports of Manchester, NH is pleased to join hundreds of Independent Auto Repair Shops across the US and Canada to raise funds for breast cancer vaccine research as part of the Brakes for Breast fundraiser. As part of the fundraiser, participating auto repair facilities provide FREE (quality) brake pads or shoes with brake rotor service. The customer simply pays the labor and any other ancillary parts necessary to complete the brake job. The shops then donate 10% of each brake service directly to Dr. Vincent Tuohy & the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund. Brakes for Breasts fundraising efforts started in 2011 with five automotive repair shops in the Cleveland, Ohio area that raised $10,000 and has now evolved to incorporate hundreds of shops in the United States and Canada. Since then, these shops have collectively raised over $1million, making Brakes for Breasts the largest third-party fundraising entity at the Cleveland Clinic. More importantly, Brakes for Breasts has become an integral partner of the effort to develop the first vaccine designed to prevent triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive and lethal form of this disease. Brakes For Breasts is different from any other breast cancer campaign: Dr. Tuohy and his team of researchers at the Cleveland Clinic has actually created a vaccine that has proved effective in laboratory animals in actually preventing breast cancer. The vaccine has been FDA approved and is currently recruiting participants in its Phase 1 trials; 100% of every penny raised goes directly to the Cleveland Clinic for research on the Breast Cancer Vaccine; Autoworks and Precision Imports President, Patrick Horan’s wife is a two time breast cancer survivor. Thus this is an
especially dear fundraiser for his family. Patrick is excited to participate with other independent business owners that have joined hands for a great cause. To learn more about Dr. Tuohy’s breast cancer vaccine visit; www.brakesforbreasts.com or follow on Facebook @brakesforbreasts. Visit www.auto-works.com or www.precisionimports.com for more information. The fundraiser lasts the entire month of October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES . . . As it did for one of our own, Dr. Janel Nielsen
A yearly mammogram can increase your chance of surviving breast cancer by more than 40%. York Hospital’s Janel Nielsen, DO, never imagined her colleague and friend, Dr. Amanda Lewis, would become her doctor. At only age 41, a mother with young children, Nielsen was diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily, her early diagnosis made all the difference in her journey. To learn more about Dr. Nielsen’s story as reported by NEWS CENTER Maine visit the York Hospital Breast Care web page at: https://www.yorkhospital.com/services/breast-care/. With locations in both York and Wells, York Hospital Breast Care offers: • 3-D Mammography and Ultrasound • Fellowship-trained breast radiologists on site & accessible • Results while you wait (or within 24 hours if you prefer to be contacted)

...OWEN from page 24 year before [and] eventually, I decided it was best to get rid of as much negativity in my life as I could – so I left my new group of friends and chose to once again sit by myself. I figured it was better to be alone than to be treated [badly], especially from so-called friends. Even though I felt like I made the right decision, I was sick of sitting alone and feeling so empty. My science teacher noticed what I was going through and offered [that I] hang out with her in her classroom each lunch. We would listen to music, watch TV, or simply talk. If it wasn’t for her and a couple other teachers, I’m not sure I would have survived middle school. I will be forever grateful for their generous and caring hearts. Then COVID hit. Isolation was bigger than ever, but I honestly loved it. I didn’t have to go to school. I didn’t have to deal with all those people. Instead, I’d get all my work done and go out [to] skate every single day. Summer arrived and that was the best summer of my life. My best friend and I would go to Portsmouth or York Beach almost every night and just skate and talk. I met a lot of cool people there. I began to find out who I was as a person, and felt like I was mentally growing stronger. Despite the growth of my
confidence and self-esteem, [the new school year just got] worse. I don’t know why they hated me so much. I swear I have never done anything to any of them. My parents never allowed me to have any social media. They called it “unsocial media” and told me it was just a place where people could hide behind their keyboards and be fake. I kind of agreed with them, but knew if I didn’t have social media then I [might] never be accepted or make friends. I ended up going behind their backs and joined Snapchat and Instagram. Big mistake. It didn’t take long for me to realize my parents were absolutely right. It was actually easier for kids to be cruel and mean online even more so than in person. I deleted my accounts. At one point of my freshman year, I stood on the ledge of the parking garage. The same one where I laughed and watched the sunsets [during the summer]. I wanted to jump so badly. It felt like none of my classmates wanted to get to know me for who I was. I know it is so much easier to conform than to go against the grain and be who you are. But the thing is, I liked who I was, and I didn’t want to be someone else. I knew I wasn’t popular or an athlete or on social media, but none of that mattered to me. I don’t care about being popular! All I ever wanted was a

small group of friends who treated me right and who liked me for me. Because of the constant love and support of my parents, friends and teachers over the years, I have become stronger. I know I’m a good person, and I know I deserve better. My girlfriend [has been] super supportive, [but now] they have started to target her as well. We are filmed at school by [others] and find out later that they [posted] it on social media with sarcastic and hateful taglines. Two kids even set up a “petition website” humiliating both of us online. [Who] would take the time to create something so hurtful? I was devastated to find out that over a hundred of my classmates signed their petition to embarrass us. I know most of my classmates and probably most adults out there are saying, “What’s the big deal? It’s just kids being kids. It’s not like anyone was physically abusive to you. It’s just words.” But it’s because of their horrible words and posts that my girlfriend has [now] started to talk about suicide and self-harm. It kills me to hear this, and I can’t help but think of my little broken 7th-grade self. Words DO matter, and EVERYONE needs to understand that. My parents offered to remove me from the school and send me anywhere I wanted to go, but I said no. If I leave, they win. It’s time to share my story and put an end to
STATEWIDE Saturday, October 23, 2021 is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day and addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 9.7 million people misused prescription pain relievers, 4.9 million people misused prescription stimulants, and 5.9 million people misused prescription tranquilizers or sedatives in 2019. The survey also showed that a majority of misused prescription drugs were ob-
tained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet. The DEA’s Take Back Day provides an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths by providing a safe way to dispose of unused or expired prescription medications. Many local police departments are participating in this event. For more information and to find a local collection site, go to www.takebackday. dea.gov.
this. I’m done staying quiet. I’m done hiding in the shadows. I know I’m not the only one being treated this way. It’s everywhere around me. This letter is not only for myself but for all the other outcasts, loners, and anyone else being discriminated against because they’re “different.” You are not alone and I’m happy to talk to any of you if you need someone. I’d like to punch every [mean kid] in the face, [but] I don’t want to stoop down to their level. So, I decided to write this letter and make a video. I’m not sure it will make anything better, but at least people will get to hear my voice and my real thoughts, and maybe some will understand just how real this is. I want change. Let’s make it happen, please.

Karen Jean Dargis, 78 KENNEBUNK - Karen Jean Dargis passed from this earthly life to heavenly life on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, daughter of deceased parents Ralph D. Curtis and Barbara Brown Curtis Pooler. She was born October 22, 1942, graduated from Kennebunk High School Class of 1961, and married Paul Dargis, two weeks later. They celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary on June 24, 2021. Together they raised two children, Lisa, and Steven. In addition to handling the affairs of her husband’s business for thirty-eight years, Karen was financial secretary, Sunday school teacher and youth group leader of her church affiliation. She enjoyed out of doors plants and bushes, designing, and making quilts, cooking,
using family recipes given to her by her grandmother Sylvia, her mother Barbara and her mother-in-law Agnes (pasta dishes being her favorite). Of particular interest to her was dressing in the styles of the latest ladies’ magazines including fancy jewelry, decorating her home using ideas from many home decorating sources, painting crafts and watching sports programing of the Patriots (the Buccaneers), Celtics, NASCAR, and golf. Enjoyed also were the general knowledge challenges presented on the evening game shows. She is survived by her husband Paul Dargis; daughter Lisa (Nathan) Nickerson of Poquoson, VA; son Steven (Christina Moulin) Dargis of Fort Myers, FL; sister Anna Ingalls of Kennebunk; brother-in-law Raymond Ingalls, brother Dexter (Sally) Curtis of Limerick, and brother-in-law Robert Dargis of Chelsea, MA; loving and special grandchildren, grandson Michael (Justin) of New York City, and granddaughter Megan (Ryan) of San Francisco, CA; her faithful golden-doodle, Lacey, of thirteen years; many local and from far away cousins, nieces, nephews; many friends, local folks, and neighbors. Always a friendly face, a broad smile, and a genuine concern for others. Visiting hours were Tuesday, October 12, at the Bibber

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

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

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.

York Pediatrician Opens Innovative Concierge Medicine Practice for Kids PORTSMOUTH, NH / YORK “Practicing medicine the way it was meant to be” is how Dr. Kelly Parker-Mello describes her Pediatric Concierge Medicine specialty practice now open in Portsmouth. “We give you and your child the time you need and the attention you both deserve.” Starting with home visits for newborns, “we recognize families want to have a healthcare provider they can trust, who they can connect with when they need their questions answered,” says the board-certified pediatrician and founder of Tailored Pediatric Medicine. “I want to save parents the time, headaches and hassle of the traditional medical system.” It’s a simple premise. “You pay one affordable monthly fee that covers your child’s personalized, all-inclusive healthcare, from vaccines to one-hour well child visits and same-day sick visits,” Dr. Parker-Mello says. “And, as a member of our practice, you can reach us by text, phone, email or in-person, whether your child has a potential ear infection or you need guidance about getting a toddler to eat.” After years in traditional pediatric medicine, Dr. ParkerMello, a working mother of two, recognized the challenges of today’s healthcare model. “We don’t want our patients going to walk-ins, urgent care clinics or the emergency department – unless it’s a true emergency,” she says. “We’re here, when you need us, to be your profes-
sional, thoughtful and compassionate healthcare partners.” For a monthly fee – equivalent to a typical cable and Internet bill – the members-only Direct Primary Care (DPC) specialty practice is a one-stop healthcare resource for infants to teenagers. All-inclusive membership services range from in-office labs and sports physicals to prenatal services and medicine management for mental health. The practice doesn’t accept insurance, though patients are strongly recommended to have coverage for outside healthcare costs like hospitalizations, surgeries and medication. “Our goal is to provide unrushed and personalized healthcare to every one of our patients,” says Dr. Parker-Mello. “We take the time to listen, understand your perspective and thoughtfully optimize your child’s physical, mental and emotional health.” Tailored Pediatric Medicine at 500 Market Street, Building 2, Portsmouth, NH, will be hosting an Open House on Thursday, October 28, 4:30-6 p.m. offering an opportunity to meet the team
New District Director of Special Services WELLS In July, the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District selected Karen Lenk Tufts to become its Director of Special Services, an administrative position that oversees a team of 13 case managers in the District’s Special Services department currently serving the varying special needs of over 140 K-12 students. Other department staff includes 10 related service providers and 40 ed techs. Since 2018, Tufts has been the WOCSD’s IEP Coordinator/K-12 Instructional Strategist. “Karen has done an outstanding job as the District IEP Coordinator over the last few years,” noted WOCSD Superintendent James Daly in an email. “She will be a tremendous Special Services Director that will advocate for each and every student.” Tufts, who holds a BS degree in Communications from Emerson College and an MS degree in Communication Disorders from the University of New Hampshire, has extensive experience in the field of speech pathology. As a speech-language pathologist, she managed and worked from her own pediatric speech-language practice for 20 years and has contracted with school districts for speech/language evaluations and therapy services. and tour the new office. Light refreshments will be served. To learn more about Tailored Pediatric Medicine, visit www.tailoredpediatricmedicine. com or call 603-547-9557.
“My biggest goal is to continue to make students the priority and make sure that they are getting supports that they need to be successful in school and certainly getting our students prepared for life after Wells High School,” said Tufts about what she would like to accomplish in her position. “There is such a variety in Special Education, everything from articulation disorders to students on the autism spectrum, students with multiple disabilities, (and) other health impairments,” said Tufts in an interview. She implied that while many students may need special services from K-12, many of them require just a brief time of special attention should they be having difficulty, for example, with articulation issues in the early grades. “I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve our com-
munity,” said Tufts about what this new position means to her. She later listed previous community service. “I have also served as a volunteer and held officer positions on numerous boards such as the WES PTSA, WJHS PTO, WHS Alumni Association, Wells Travel Soccer, and the Shootin’ For A Cure Committee.” Tufts lives in Wells with her family and is a graduate of Wells High School.

Safe Haven Humane Society
WELLS Kodak was brought to Safe Haven from a holding facility in midcoast Maine. Due to lack of space, cats there must be kept in stainless steel cages, which provide neither sunshine nor companionship. Safe Haven helps other Maine rescue facilities that house many homeless kitties with too few resources to save them. Kodak was in quarantine longer than our usual two weeks, needing a little extra help and care but all his medical needs are now completed and he is ready to be adopted. Kodak doesn’t look anything like the kitty that arrived here, with severely matted hair that disguised his gorgeous coat. Thanks to the gentle and skilled hands of a vet technician at our vet’s office, Kodak was spared the indignity of being shaved. His coat was now luxurious, silky and shiny. His ear tufts, fuzz between his toes, and his long beautiful coat shouted out that he clearly had Maine Coon in his family tree. He’s a large boy with an even larger soul. This fellow is a sweetheart! Nine years old, neutered and up to date with all his medical needs, Kodak loves to cuddle, and thankfully he even enjoys being brushed. With all that hair he’ll need daily brushing. He craves your affection and wants a family that will spend lots of time fussing over him. Kodak will follow you around like a faithful friend. We’re not sure how good he is with other pets, but the right mix of personalities might work. Older, respectful children would be great, more friends to play with,

Our main shelter at 1420 Post Road, next to the Wells Public Library, remains open by appointment only, because COVID restrictions make it difficult for volunteers to receive unexpected visitors. We currently have kitties who are rather shy but absolutely beautiful and dear, and the volunteers are working on socializing them. If you’re interested in doing cat care or being a cat socializer, call 207-656-1611. Our location at 1784 Post Road in Wells houses both our Thrift/Vintage/Antique shop as well as our Farmhouse Adoption Center. This requires two
separate teams, one to “mind the store” and another for kitty care. Altogether, about 55 volunteers keep both operating smoothly at our Cattail location. Some of our volunteers do both shop and cat care because they love both types of work. If you have some extra time and want to lend a hand, give us a call at 207-849-0728 or call the shop at 207-216-9169. Our shop is open Wednesday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Donations are received on Saturdays only from noon-3 p.m. Selling donations in the shop pays most of our vets bills! We welcome your quality donations of home décor, Christmas décor, antiques and collectibles, art, jewelry, likenew clothing (kids and adults), new or hardly used toys, puzzles and games.

Growing a Garden During the Time of Our Pandemic By Jim Fabiano It is difficult for anyone to believe some good could come from the tragedy of the present pandemic. It bothers me I could even make such a statement but because of one of the most remarkable summers I’ve ever experienced with its ample sunshine and heat my garden produced beautiful fruits and vegetables. In fact, I can honestly say from June through October we’ve lived off our garden. As I do every year I grew and took care of our garden. My wife is the one who has the talent and imagination to make absolutely incredible meals. For years I’ve tried to get her to work with me on

making a cookbook displaying her work. In fact, I’ve always taken pictures of the dozens of insanely delicious meals she produced from our garden. The standard joke between us is when I brought in a slew of vegetables of which she used them all. You see my Deb would never allow any vegetable to go to waste. While she was working I would state, “There is more where that came from”. Needless to say this perpetual comment was not appreciated. The number of meals and recipes she produced would pretty much fill the entire publication of anyone who dared to publish it. I would like to go over a few of my favorites: One of my favorites is called, chombought. Now I don’t have a clue how to spell it or if it even exists but all I know is that the combination of zucchini, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and herbs that is second to none. The recipe is as follows: First of all you have to get all of the ingredients together. This includes zucchini, bell or Italian peppers, onions, spices that include basil, garlic, crushed red pepper, and pesto. Pour a little extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan and heat

it. Cut onions and peppers into chunks and dd them to hot oil and then add your spices with the exception of the Pesto. Sautee’ until soft. (During this time I have an uncontrollable urge to drool.) Add thinly sliced zucchini and cover to steam until the zucchini is soft. Add Pesto, one can of tomato sauce and one can of chopped tomatoes. Simmer for about one-half an hour. This concoction can be eaten hot as a meal topped with grated cheese or cold in a sandwich on hard crusted Italian bread. By writing this my mouth is literally watering. Another great meal from the garden is simply known as roasted vegetables. In some circles it may be called something else but once again I don’t have a clue. With this recipe you can use any vegetable you have in the garden. All you have to do is cut them in one-inch cubes. Pour a little extra virgin olive oil in the bottom of a roasting pan and add chopped vegetables, potatoes, and chicken. Add fresh chopped rosemary, parsley, and basil from the garden. Add white wine and regular Worcestershire sauce. Add grated Romano cheese. Then add a combination that will become your own concoction. This could include any number of dried spices. Dribble olive oil on the top of the vegetables. Add Pesto. Mix together and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until vegetables are soft. You can then place the roasting pan under the broiler in order to brown the vegetables. Depending on how many vegetables you roast, this meal can be enjoyed throughout the week. In my house, no matter what size the roasting pan, the vegetables don’t make it through the day. No meal is considered fabulously great without using Pesto. The pesto recipe is as follows: Fill a 7-quart food processor with fresh, washed, and dried basil. Add three heaping tablespoons of jarred minced garlic. Add 12 heaping tablespoons of Pecorino cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until chopped. Add one cup of pine nuts. Turn on processor and drizzle a little less than one cup of extra virgin olive oil down shoot. Many of our friends and colleagues love my wife’s Pesto. Every year we make, jar, and freeze enough Pesto to get through the year. We give many jars away but one rule is always in effect. If you don’t bring back the old jar, no more Pesto for you. It is difficult for anyone to believe some good could come from the tragedy of the present pandemic. Yet, this is the first year I can remember when my wife and I literally lived off our land. It is a very special type of feeling. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York. You can contact him at james.fabiano60@gmail.com.

A Year of Bird Walks with York Land Trust and White Pine
YORK October 20 will mark the one year anniversary of the launch of Bird Walk Wednesdays, a series of monthly guided bird walks hosted by York Land Trust and White Pine Programs at Highland Farm Preserve. In the year that it has run, the popular program has welcomed dozens of community members who have collectively spotted nearly 100 different species of birds, including a variety of woodpeckers, warblers, thrushes, egrets, owls, and more. The series started as a way for York Land Trust and White Pine Programs to safely engage with the community during the pandemic, and has grown into a budding community in itself. Debby Ethridge, a leader of the walk, follows up each session with an email to all past and
present participants detailing the species they saw or heard that month. By doing so, she hopes to help community members feel more connected with the land, the birds, and each other. “It has been a learning experience for everyone involved,” Ethridge says. The program is free to participate in and designed for birders of all ages and experience levels. A core group of participants returns with some regularity each month, along with a steady flow of new faces as well, including a number of people who moved to the area during the pandemic and are looking for meaningful ways to connect with others in the region. The establishment of the series in 2020 coincided with a surge in interest in birding
on both the local and national level, in a trend that appears to be associated with increased time spent at home during the pandemic. To further leverage this birding bonanza, York Land Trust has also partnered with York Public Library to create two birding backpacks full of interactive materials such as guides, binoculars, and identification tools that are now available for check-out with a library card. By offering these opportunities to engage with and learn more about birds in the area, the land trust and its partner organizations hope that community members feel more inspired by and connected with the land and wildlife around their homes. Bird Walk Wednesdays will continue to take place at Highland Farm Preserve on the third Wednesday of every month throughout this fall and winter. To register, visit yorklandtrust. org/events.
York Paddle Tennis & Pickleball Club Donates to Living Well With Cancer Fund YORK When the members of the York Paddle Tennis & Pickleball Club (YPPC) decided that a year-end tournament “might be fun,” they had no idea what was to come. Following this fundraiser, YPPC Board and committee members recently presented York Hospital with a check for over $13,000 in support of their Living Well With Cancer Fund. On the weekend of September 25 and 26, the first annual York Paddle Tennis & Pickleball Club Tournament took place at their location on Mill Lane in York. Expecting a limited turnout for the first year, and after some discussion, a decision was made to make it a cancer care fundraiser for York Hospital. Within days they had a waiting list and expanded the tournament field. “Our end-of-season club tournament started out as just

that – an event for our members to close out the season. We added the ‘fundraiser for York Hospital’ component and the energy and feel of the tournament completely changed. Everyone has been touched by cancer in one way or another and YPPC members, unfortunately, are no exception. Whether playing pickleball or paddle tennis, our membership stepped up, opened their hearts and gave to a great cause - well

beyond our expectations,” said Jan Underhill, event co-chair. Kate Ford, pickleball committee member and Jan’s co-chair partner cheerily added, “Our goal for the ‘Put Away Cancer’ Fundraiser event was initially $500, which we quickly adjusted to $3,000 as the donations from our membership began to arrive. We had no idea the club would raise over $13,000 for the fund – although in retrospect, we should not have been surprised. Members of the York Paddle and Pickleball Club are among the kindest and most generous in our community.” The successful fundraiser, involving over 65 participants, included food and gas gift cards in addition to cash donations from members, baskets and 50/50 raffles. Matching funds from a generous YPPC constituent also added to the excitement and bottom line. While accepting the donation, York Hospital Oncology Social Worker Susan Kelly-Westman was happy to share details on The Living Well with Cancer Fund. “The fund provides support to people in our community who have been diagnosed
Schools Can Win $1,000 in the Life Happens Outside® Challenge STATEWIDE Teens to Trails is introducing the Life Happens Outside® Challenge for Maine middle and high schools to foster an appreciation for the outdoors and its multitude of wellness benefits. The weeklong challenge takes place Saturday, October 23 through Friday, October 29 and is designed to get students active and connected to the outdoors. Arcadia, a climate crisis–fighting tech company, is providing a $1,000 reward to the three Maine middle and high schools with the highest amount of outdoor time proportional to their school size. To participate in the Challenge week, students will track and submit their activity online. All outdoor activities — at home or at school — count towards earning points, from exploring a local trail with friends to biking to doing homework outside. Teens to Trails will calculate the winners based on total hours divided by school population, so large and small schools have equal chances to win. The three schools with the most hours — one from northern Maine, one from central Maine, and one from southern Maine — will be awarded $1,000 to further outdoor access for their students. “We are so excited to offer the Life Happens Outside® Challenge to Maine middle and high schools, and are thankful to Arcadia for making this fantastic opportunity possible,”
said Alicia Heyburn, Executive Director of Teens to Trails. “We cannot wait to see the outdoor activities teenagers select, and hope that the time outside will bring a revitalized appreciation for the benefits of fresh air and time to just be in nature.” Through its community solar program, Arcadia helps everyone take meaningful action to preserve the Great Outdoors. Maine residents can enroll in local solar farms at no extra cost. When the farms generate electricity, the clean energy flows into the power supply and members get solar credits back on their power bills. To celebrate the Life Happens Outside® Challenge, Arcadia is giving Maine residents $50 toward their power bills when they sign up for community solar at www,arcadia.com/t2t. If your school is interested in participating in the Life Happens Outside® Challenge, visit www.teenstotrails.org/events. Registration is free and schools will receive promotional materials to help spread the word. Student outdoor hours to be submitted via a provided Google form by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 29. Winners will be announced on Thursday, November 4, 2021. Teens To Trails is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit dedicated to connecting high school students to life-changing outdoor experiences with a vision that all teens have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors together.
with and are undergoing treatment for cancer at York Hospital. Living Well With Cancer programs center on mind, body and well-being and include support groups, exercise programs, nutritional guidance, creativity programs, massage, Reiki and acupuncture treatments, as well as emergency financial assistance. The programs focus on wellness and support toward the ultimate goal of helping patients achieve steady improvements in mind, body and spirit in pursuit of total body wellness.” Kelly-Westman also added, “I am so touched by the enthusiasm and generosity of the York Paddle Tennis & Pickleball Club. The donation of over $13,000 to the Living Well With Cancer Fund is simply amazing and will help our patients in so many ways. After roughly 19 months and no community fundraising gatherings due to COVID-19 concerns, this outdoor event brought so many people together in the name of health, wellness and kindness, and will certainly offer a physical and emotional boost to cancer patients in our community currently going through treatment.” For details about York Hos-

People and Business Profiles
Dr. Cameron Wake Named Conservationist of the Year KITTERY Kittery resident Dr. Cameron Wake has been awarded the 2021 Conservationist of the Year Award by the Kittery Land Trust (KLT). In introducing the winner, KLT Board Member Ken Fellows noted Dr. Wake’s significant work on climate science, conservation and energy from the international level to the community scale, including leading Kittery’s Climate Adaptation Committee (established by the Town Council) and serving as a founding member of the Kittery Climate Action Network. In accepting the award, Dr. Wake, the Josephine A. Lamprey Professor of Climate and Sustainability at the University of New Hampshire, thanked his wife, Celina Adams, for her years of support as well as KLT for its work in conserving open spaces, a critical step to helping build low carbon resilient communities that reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and can readily bounce back from disruptive weather events such as large coastal storms and flooding or heat waves. He also noted the positive mental and physical health impacts of KLT properties
as places to recreate during the Covid pandemic. “Recently, we’ve gotten better at communicating climate science,” Dr. Wake noted in his acceptance speech. “We weren’t always very good at it. But now, I can boil the message down to 12 words: It’s real. It’s us. Scientists agree. It’s bad. We can fix it.” Dr. Wake noted that we can’t rely solely on national or state politicians to solve the climate crisis. In the end, he noted, all the real work needs to be done at the community level, led by institutions with strong roots in the community, organizations like the Kittery Land Trust. Dr. Wake made his comments in September during the
KLT Annual Meeting which took place at Nooney Farm in Kittery. Nooney Farm is KLT’s most recent acquisition, containing working farms, greenhouses, forests and a Giving Garden that has donated over 4,000 pounds of fresh produce this season. Kittery Land Trust is a member-supported conservation organization that has protected nearly 1,000 acres of land in Kittery since it was founded in 1987. KLT’s mission is to “Save Land and Build Community”. Learn more at www.kitterylandtrust. org. In photo: Ken Fellows presents Dr. Cameron Wake with the Conservationist of the Year Award.
Fabulous Find Awards Grant to Friends of the South Berwick Library
SOUTH BERWICK The Friends of the South Berwick Library received an August grant of $7,318 from The Fabulous Find, a non-profit resale boutique located in Kittery that distributes proceeds each month from selling donated items to deserving local organizations. The Friends of the South Berwick Library (FSBL) raises funds to support and improve library services, to bring attention to and stimulate use of library services and to promote cul-
tural opportunities in the community. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the Friends group hasn’t been able to carry out their normal fundraising activities, so this grant will assist them in offering free informative, cultural and entertaining programs to children and adults. In the photo: Friends of S. Berwick Library Board President Jenifer Austin, Children Librarian Maureen Flanagan and Library Director Karen Eger thank Fabulous Find for their grant.
