While attending his very first Super Bowl game back in 1967, Don Crisman, at 30 years old, had an idea that became a reality. For the past 59 years, Crisman has been known as one of the members of the “Never Miss a Super Bowl Club.” According to Crisman, it all started with a group of men in Denver, Colorado.
“It was back in 1967. My wife and I were new to town and started attending Air Force Academy and Denver Broncos games with four other couples,” Crisman recalls. “When the Super Bowl started, it was easy to get tickets, at only $12 per ticket and plenty of seats available. It was at
that first game in Los Angeles when Vince Lombardi’s Packers defeated AFL champions Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10, that my friends and I decided to attend every Super Bowl game for as long as we could. Most of the group gave up soon after we started.” Crisman’s second attempt to attend that next year’s game in Miami almost ended before he got very far. As he shares his story: “I took a private plane that had to land due to ice, safely landing on an abandoned Air Force Base runway. We scrambled over a fence, where a state trooper saw us and asked a lot of questions. He then took the pilot and me to Orangeburg, South Carolina, so I could catch a train to Miami.”
Over the years, the members in the group changed. “There was Stanley Whittaker, who didn’t want to fly, so he drove to every game. He had a bumper sticker on [his car’s] back bumper – ‘Never Miss a Super Bowl!’ Super Bowl XVII was in California, so Stan and I decided to catch the 3 p.m. Johnny Carson Show. Stan parked his car in the parking lot and while we were in line to catch the show, there was a guy running around trying to find out who owned the car with the bumper sticker. Tom Henschel was the guy. After learning that he had never missed a Super Bowl, we invited him to join our club. Tom was a fan of the

Annual “Give Warmth: Warm Hands, Warm Hearts”
ELIOT -
Eliot Connects invites the public to attend its annual “Give Warmth: Warm Hands, Warm Hearts” event on Saturday, Jan. 31, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The day will feature family-friendly activities, camaraderie, and an opportunity to give back to the community.
Warm soup, baked treats, board games and live music will be available inside the Eliot Fire Station. A “pay what you can” donation is suggested for the food, with proceeds supporting Eliot Connects programs, initiatives and events. Attendees are encouraged to bring gently used board games, which will
be donated afterward to Eliot Elementary School, KidsPLAY and Baran Place, a 41-unit senior housing community in Eliot.
Outside, guests can enjoy a hot cocoa bar, courtesy of Haven Homes & Lifestyle, and a fire pit for making s’mores. Outdoor activities will depend on the weather but may include skating, snowman making, street hockey, cornhole, and other outdoor games.
Additional fundraising efforts include a Winter Outer Gear Swap and Drive. Community members are invited to donate or swap children’s winter outerwear during the event. Donated items for children ages 4 to 14
must be clean and gently worn or like new, including boots, snow pants, jackets, gloves, and hats. Items not claimed during the event will be donated to Eliot Elementary School, KidsPLAY and the York County Community Action Committee.
Volunteers are needed throughout the day to help the event run smoothly, and organizers are also seeking donations of soup and baked goods to share. High school students may apply their time toward community service hours.
The day’s events are cosponsored by Eliot Connects, Eliot Community Services, and
the Eliot Police and Fire departments. Eliot Connects is a mutual aid nonprofit made up of community-minded members who support the well-being of Eliot by bringing neighbors together through programs, initiatives, and events that serve and strengthen the community.

Right Whales Return to New England
BOSTON, MA
Scientists from the New England Aquarium’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life spotted right whales during aerial surveys off Massachusetts earlier this month. On Jan. 5, researchers sighted eight whales about 37 miles south of Nantucket. A second survey on Jan. 8 found more than 20 whales. Between the two surveys, at least 23 individual whales have been identified. The group included two females who have calved in recent years, Braces (catalog No. 3320) and Maple (catalog No. 1711), as well as Atoll (catalog No. 4714), a young adult female who may be nearing calving age. All three were observed in surface-active groups, a social behavior in which several right whales closely interact at the surface. These gatherings can also provide mating opportunities, though not
always. The majority of the whales identified were adult males, including Batman (catalog No. 1017) and Dune (catalog No. 3351).
Assistant Scientist Kate Laemmle, who was one of the observers aboard the survey plane, noted the high number of these social groups in such a concentrated area.
“All around us, we saw groups of whales rolling, splashing, and bursting out of the
water,” Laemmle said. “Seeing these critically endangered right whales on our first surveys of the New Year is a great way to start the season and leaves us hopeful for more whales returning to the area.”
The winter/spring season marks the peak time of year for right whale sightings in southern New England waters. In addition to the sightings south of Nantucket, the Center for Coastal Studies has also sighted right whales in Cape Cod Bay over the last month. Cape Cod Bay is subject to a mandatory slow zone for boats and ships known as a Seasonal Management Area (SMA) until May 15.
The Jan. 5 sightings triggered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to implement a voluntary slow speed

International Women’s Club of New England Assists Local Charities
The International Women’s Club of New England (IWCNE), with members along the Seacoast, annually supports local charities that focus on the needs of women and children.
IWCNE held a luncheon at Jonathan’s in Ogunquit on Jan. 10 to distribute funds to the selected charities. Recipients included Step Up Parents, which provides assistance to kinship caregivers; the Robbie Foundation, which helps families of children with developmental disabilities; and Our Place, which supports the healthy development of youth.
Founded in 1992, IWCNE has raised funds through various events. The demands on non-
profit groups have grown as participation increases and funding becomes more challenging.
Denyse Richter, head of Step Up Parents, said, “Since they started the organization in 2019, they have helped almost 950 kinship families and impacted more than 1,600 children separated from their biological parents because of parental addiction.”
IWCNE is pleased to support their efforts and those of the other organizations. For more information, visit www.iwcne.org.

Governor Janet Mills recently proclaimed 2026 as the Year of the Woman Farmer in Maine, aligning the state with the United Nations’ designation of 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
The initiative is part of a globally coordinated, nonpartisan effort led internationally by the U.N. and nationally by the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, with participation from organizations including the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Farmland Trust, the U.S. Dairy
Woman Farmer in
Export Council, private-sector partners, research groups, and other government and nonprofit organizations.
The proclamation recognizes the critical role women play in Maine’s agriculture and underscores the state’s commitment to enhancing their opportunities, addressing barriers they face, and celebrating their contributions to Maine’s rural economy and food system.
“I signed the proclamation declaring 2026 as the Year of the Woman Farmer in the State of Maine to draw attention to the role women play in agriculture,”
BULK SALT & SAND
(available
said Mills. “Women like my grandmother, who, alongside my grandfather, raised three children while making a living as a potato farmer. I spent nearly all my summers and school vacations with them, and those experiences shaped my deep respect for the women whose hard work sustains our farms, our food system, and our rural communities.”
Women contribute significantly to agricultural production worldwide, yet often face challenges related to land access, capital, technical assistance, and leadership opportunities. The U.N.’s designation calls on governments and partners to spotlight these challenges while advancing solutions that strengthen food systems and rural communities.
Annie Watson Named Distinguished Service Award Recipient
STATEWIDE
Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) Commissioner Amanda Beal recently named Annie Watson, a dairy farmer from Whitefield, as the recipient of the 2026 Commissioner’s Distinguished Service Award.
The Commissioner’s Distinguished Service Award recognizes individuals whose leadership, service, and commitment have made a lasting impact on Maine’s
agricultural community.
Watson and her husband, Michael Moody, began dairy farming together in 2013 after purchasing their farm in Whitefield, where they have built a successful organic dairy operation rooted in stewardship, resilience, and community.
“Annie Watson represents the best of Maine agriculture – deeply rooted in the land, forward-looking in leadership, and unwavering in commitment to farmers, families, and rural communities,” said Beal.”
of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Commissioner Amanda Beal.
Throughout 2026, Maine will highlight women farmers and agricultural leaders through public events, legislative collaboration, and national convenings. Milestones include Agriculture Day at the Legislature in March and the NASDA Annual Meeting in fall 2026, which will bring hundreds of state and federal agriculture leaders to Maine.
“The Governor’s proclamation is an opportunity to honor women farmers, past and present, and future farmers, especially the young women entering agriculture, and further position Maine as a national leader in advancing opportunity and innovation in agriculture,” said Department
To support participation, an official International Year of the Woman Farmer in Maine logo and promotional materials are available on the DACF website. Individuals, farms, organizations, schools, and community partners are encouraged to use and share these materials to help promote the initiative. Details on related events, recognitions, and engagement opportunities will be announced throughout 2026.

Watson currently serves as president of the Maine Dairy Industry Association and holds leadership roles with the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership, the Agricultural Council of Maine, the Wolfe’s Neck Farmer Advisory Group, and the DACF Maine Geological Survey’s Water Resource Planning Committee.

Producers Association. Watson is a strong advocate for local food systems and the role of agriculture in sustaining Maine’s rural communities and economy.
“Farms don’t just produce food – they hold communities together. They keep the land open and cared for. They teach kids what work looks like, and what responsibility looks like, and what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself,” Watson said, adding, “Maine farms are not just part of our scenery – they are part of our soul.”

Maine Author David Florig Visits Hurd Library Astronomy Talk at Fogg Library
NORTH BERWICK -
Maine author David S. Florig recently announced the upcoming release of his third novel, “Negative Peace.” The story follows the journey of Joshua Sheehan, a Bucksport native who rises from mayor of Bucksport to President of the United States. Florig will be visiting the D.A. Hurd Library on Thursday, Jan. 29, to talk about his upcoming release.
Joshua Sheehan has a plan – he wants to create lasting world peace. It might only be “negative peace,” but it would be a start. What could be any easier?
“Negative Peace” explores themes of trust, decisiveness, conviction and two very different kinds of peace. Advance reviews call the novel “a taut, politically charged drama pulsing with moral tension and human fragility” and “detailed and vivid... sprinkled with moments of humanity, warmth and reflec-
tion. A memorable and powerful read,” according to The Author Program.
Since the Olympic sport of curling plays a role in “Negative Peace,” audience members will be introduced to the sport and given the chance to touch and feel a genuine curling stone made of 60-million-year-old Scottish granite. They will also learn the basics of the game and the peculiar, specialized equipment used to play it – all just in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics in February.
David S. Florig lives in Old Orchard Beach and is a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance and the Belfast Curling Club. He is the author of “The Stones of Ailsa Craig,” named Best Historical Fiction of 2023 by Indies Today, and “The Shattered Curling Stone.” In 2023, he organized Maine Authors for Lewiston, raising funds for victims of the Oct. 25 tragedy.

SANFORD -
Fresh from its smash New York run, Gerard Alessandrini’s “Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song” will take the stage at Sanford Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24.
This brand-new edition is a side-splitting musical roast of Broadway’s biggest hits and brightest stars. It skewers everything from “Cabaret” and “The Outsiders” to “& Juliet,” “Six” and “Back to the Future,” with jabs at classics such as “Les Misérables,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Wicked” and “The Lion King.” No show is safe, no diva is spared, and no note goes unparodied.
Since 1982, Forbidden Broadway has been Broadway’s funniest tradition, earning a special Tony Award and a slew of other honors for its sharp wit and loving satire. Spoofing 31 musicals in just 90 minutes, it’s a fastpaced, laugh-out-loud evening for theater lovers and insiders alike.
Those who love Broadway
will laugh themselves silly. And those who hate Broadway might laugh even harder!

The Dance Hall Welcomes Back Primo Cubano
KITTERYThe Dance Hall Kittery welcomes back Primo Cubano, a Cuban dance and son band that channels the timeless joy of music, transporting audiences
from Maine to Havana. The band plays at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30. Primo Cubano brings the ir-
resistible rhythms of traditional Cuban dance music to life, performing son, a style that first emerged in the Cuban countryside at the turn of the 20th century and later became the heartbeat of Cuba’s popular music. Blending African and Spanish roots, son laid the foundation for modern salsa.
The group was founded by guitarist Paul D’Alessio, who first encountered son during a 2004 trip to Cuba with the Sister City Association. Captivated by its energy and spirit, he began learning the tres, a guitar-like Cuban instrument, and formed Primo Cubano, literally “Cuban Cousin.”
The band features a powerhouse lineup: trumpeter and percussionist Marc Chillemi, who adds bright brass lines and spirited coros, or choruses; per-

The DMA was in effect until Jan. 20, one of several active voluntary slow zones from Massachusetts to Virginia due to right whale sightings. Vessel strikes are one of the leading causes of injuries and deaths for this species, which numbers about 380 individuals, making it critical that vessels slow down to the recommended speed.
“These recent sightings are an important reminder that right whales can be found throughout New England waters during the winter a nd spring. Reducing vessel speed in mandatory and
voluntary right whale management areas is one of the most effective actions mariners can take to reduce the risk of vessel strikes and help protect this critically endangered species,” said Associate Scientist Katherine McKenna, who was aboard the Jan. 8 survey flight.
For the past 15 years, the New England Aquarium has conducted aerial surveys over waters south of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, collecting data on all marine animals with a focus on protected species, including whales and sea turtles. In recent years, the aquarium has expanded survey coverage to include coastal Maine, the Gulf of Maine, and the Canyons along the shelf break. These flights help monitor changes in animal pop-

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently announced a proposed rule intended to return Section 401 of the Clean Water Act to its statutory purpose of protecting water quality while reducing regulatory overreach.
The rule aims to ensure the water quality certification process operates within the boundaries established by Congress, improving permitting efficiency and minimizing delays that have affected economic development.
tecting water resources, while advancing the administration’s stated commitment to cooperative federalism.
The changes also support the role of state co-regulators and authorized tribes in pro-
The action would reverse a 2023 rule that it said allowed extended certification timelines inconsistent with the Clean Water Act. The 2023 rule expanded Sec. 401’s scope, which the agency said created regulatory burdens that delayed or blocked energy, infrastructure, and development projects. The proposed rule aims to restore Sec. 401 to its intended function and reduce barriers to permitting.
“Today’s proposal restores the Clean Water Act to
its intended purpose, protecting America’s water quality,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. “We’re strengthening the role of state and tribal partners while ensuring environmental protections are implemented lawfully, efficiently, and consistent with congressional intent.”
Congress Approves More Than $59 Million for Maine Drinking Water
In spring 2025, the EPA issued a memo clarifying the roles of states and authorized tribes under Sec. 401 and sought public input during the summer to inform the proposed updates.
The proposed rule would standardize approaches for certification requests and decisions, reduce delays in the review process, adhere to statutory timelines, and provide a clear process for both applicants and certifying authorities.
STATEWIDECongress recently secured $59,063,000 in spending for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects throughout Maine in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill that recently passed the Senate. The bill, approved by the House of Representatives, now heads
to the president’s desk to be signed into law.
It would also prevent states
and tribes from using Sec. 401 to block projects for reasons outside the law’s statutory requirements and applicable water quality regulations.
After the rule is published in the Federal Register, the EPA will open a 30-day public comment period. Comments will be reviewed promptly as the agency works toward a final rule in spring 2026.
“Maintaining and upgrading drinking water and wastewater infrastructure is vital to strengthening the economic and environmental health of communities throughout Maine,” said Senator Susan Collins, who spearheaded the legislation. “This funding will help to ensure Mainers continue to have access to clean, safe drinking water and functioning sewer systems while preserving Maine’s natural resources.”
For more information, visit www.epa.gov/aboutepa/epa-region-1-new-england.
Funding includes $3 million for wastewater infrastructure improvements in South Berwick, provided to the South Berwick Sewer District, and $3 million for similar upgrades in Wells, provided to the Wells Sanitary District. For more information, visit www.collins.senate.gov/ newsroom.
On what would be his last birthday earthside, Denis was best described by his now late daughter Annie as “A man of substance, grit, determination, and love, in his own way. I would not be me without him, as difficult as I may be. He loves me, my mama, my siblings, and his grand-babies – including my cat children –so much. Denis P. McCarthy, enigma, artist, crafter, seafarer, the first man I ever admired.”
Denis was all those things and more. A lifelong lover of the sea, he made his way to Maine as an adult and settled in York, the same town he visited as a child while vacationing. It was there that he met the love of his life, his adoring wife Kathleen (Kate). As Denis and Kate’s family grew, he transitioned from a career in commercial fishing to carpentry and contracting.
Denis could build or fix anything, but his artistry truly shined in his custom designs and fine finish carpentry. Through his carpentry work, Denis became a true “Yorkie,” always keeping up with the goings on around town, and developing meaningful, lasting friendships with customers who became more like family.
In addition to his love for his family and his passion for art and his craft, Denis was also a music lover. As a teenager, he participated in Drum Corps, instilling a lifelong predilection for percussion. He always kept a drum kit in the basement, just in case the mood struck. Throughout his life, Denis attended countless live concerts and musical perfor-
mances. In more recent years, he kept a regular rotation of varied radio programs that became his personal ritual, demonstrating his dedication to music, culture, and the never-ending pursuit of learning.
Denis’ passing came after a prolonged decline in health. The loss of his beloved Annie this past August proved too much to overcome. Denis was blessed to have passed peacefully in the loving embrace of his wife Kate, surrounded by those who loved him most.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 31 at St. Christopher’s Church in York, followed by a Celebration of Life at Walker’s Maine in Cape Neddick from 12 to 3 p.m. The family invites all who knew Denis to attend one or both events.
Donations can be made in Denis’ name to WUNH Durham, NPR, or the public radio or television station of one’s choice.

Crisman continued. “A few years later while looking through the program book for Super Bowl XXXIII, we found Larry Jacobsen, a fan of the San Francisco 49ers [who] had never missed a Super Bowl. When we attended Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta, Georgia, we found Larry and invited him to join our club. So now there were four of us.”
In 2010, Morgan Freeman introduced the club to television viewers through a VISA commercial featuring all four members, including Robert Cook, a longtime Green Bay Packers fan. The ad showed the four men holding tickets from 44 years of Super Bowls. In 2011, Cook was hospitalized and had to watch the game from his hospital bed, where he saw the Packers win Super Bowl XLV. He passed away a few days later.
Crisman has been a supporter of the New England Patriots for most of his adult life. He was especially excited when the Patriots won their first Super Bowl, XXXVI, on Feb. 3, 2002, against the St. Louis Rams, now the Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots went on to win Super Bowls XXXVIII (2004), XXXIX (2005), XLIX (2015), LI (2017), and LIII (2019). Crisman attended every game.
Crisman had quite a collection of memorabilia from the 59 games he attended. Last September, he made a decision to auction most of it off, leaving him with many fond memories and stories.
In 2000, at Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta, the four men attended their first luncheon. Sitting at a nearby table was Lamar Hunt, founder and owner of the Dallas Texans, which later became the Kansas City Chiefs. To the men’s surprise and excitement, Hunt joined them. Hunt was involved in secret merger discussions in 1966 with National Football League officials, including Commissioner Pete Rozelle. Some of the early, informal talks took place in a parking lot at Dallas Love Field, where Hunt met privately with Dallas Cowboys general manager Tex Schramm. Those discussions set the groundwork for the agreement announced June 8, 1966, to merge the National Football League and the American Football League (AFL).
At Super Bowl LI, while the four club members were having lunch at a Houston, TX deli, Crisman happened to notice Tom Brady Sr. and his family sitting nearby. Within minutes, Brady Sr. had joined them – another unplanned but memorable Super Bowl moment. That year, the Patriots made a historic comeback from a 28-3 deficit, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 34-28.
As the years passed, some members of the club passed away. Today, the club consists of Crisman, who lives in Maine, Gregory Eaton of Michigan,

Hey everyone, my name is Rocco and it’s so nice to meet you! I am generally pretty timid, especially when I first meet new people. But, as my friends at AWS have become well aware, I have a silly side that comes out as I get more comfortable. So, for this week’s Pet of the Week, Rocco shows off his fun side!
Showing off my fun side is something I love to do, especially as I get to know my new family. I can get really excited and roll around on the ground, and I can’t help but make silly “pittie” noises in the process! I’ve had a lot of fun hanging out with the AWS staff, from catching snowballs to playing with my favorite stuffies. I can’t wait to see what fun we can get up to together!
I also have a snuggly side. I’m a classic snugglebug, and while I may not be lap-dog sized, I like to think I can fit on anyone’s lap. I’ve been known to give my favorite people big hugs! As I get more comfortable and our bond grows, I become very loyal. The stronger our connection, the more I want to snuggle up even closer!

about my fun and snuggly side, let me tell you what I’m looking for in my new home. I prefer a home with adults and older children only, without a lot of hustle and bustle.

I’m already crate and house trained, and I’m a pretty good listener when it comes to learning new things.

A black Lab mix named Charlotte did everything she could to protect her five puppies after giving birth at an active concrete plant in East Tennessee. As the puppies grew, so did the danger around them. At just 13 to 14 weeks old, the curious pups began wandering beyond their den – straight toward active train tracks, steep piles of concrete mix, and heavy industrial machinery. One misstep could have been fatal.
Named after the environment they were born into –Cemmy, Digger, Dozer, Rubble and Ash – the puppies’ rescue was anything but simple. It took 17 hours in the middle of a brutal deep freeze to bring them all to safety.
The puppies arrived with fur loss caused by parasites, harsh living conditions, and poor nutrition. With proper medical care, warmth, and consistent meals, most have already grown their fur back, and all continue

In October 2022, a kitty was trapped who bore the scars of Maine’s harsh winters. The freezing temperatures caused the loss of her left ear, and her right ear was deformed by frostbite.
She was brought to Safe Haven and, after receiving medical treatment, was settled into the adoption room. A padded high shelf became her warm and safe nest – it’s still her preferred spot.
Like many traumatized animals, DeeDee withdrew. She found comfort in being alone and away from the activities of the common cat rooms.
Eventually, she relaxed and joined in. The other cats accepted her, and the volunteers loved her, so DeeDee eventually became a part of the activity.
However, whenever someone entered the room or an unfamiliar voice would call out, DeeDee would panic and retreat to her safe spot on the high shelf.
From there, she was mostly invisible to visitors and potential adopters.
DeeDee was overlooked for years, a common pattern for shy

and Thomas Henschel of Florida. Eaton, a fan of the Detroit Lions, joined the club in 2017 and has never missed a Super Bowl. Crisman had considered giving up attending the games, but because of the other guys, decided to continue.
Although they didn’t know each other back in 1967, both Crisman and Henschel were in attendance at the AFL-NFL World Championship Game at Los Angeles Coliseum, later known as Super Bowl I. Eaton is also a remaining member of the group and was also at the same game. What started as a $12 ticket is now in the four-figure range.
“Most of the time, the three of us paid for our tickets and travel but a few times the NFL, VISA, or Verizon treated us to the big game,” said Crisman. He thinks that out of the 59 games attend-

ed, the men paid the bill for 54 of them.
Over the years, Crisman has battled some stumbling blocks, but his dedication to never missing a Super Bowl overcomes any obstacle standing in his way –and such is the case this year. He has confirmed that he will be attending Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
For the past 10 years, Crisman’s daughter, Susan, has traveled with with him to the games; his wife attended the first 28. He is “Thankful to the Good Lord for allowing him to have these experiences,” and for “having good friends in the right places.”
Be sure to look for Crisman, Eaton, and Henschel during the game. They will be the ones wearing matching shirts promoting the Never Miss a Super Bowl Club!

The volunteers who work with DeeDee praise her social development and report that she loves affection. She purrs deeply when she gets a chin, ear, or neck massage. The purr is significant, indicating that DeeDee has become trusting, and is responsive to quiet, gentle handling. She is
