York Auto Show to Boost Local Athletics YORK The parking lots and fields of York High School will be transformed into a dreamscape for car aficionados of all stripes with the eighth annual York Auto Show. The event is expected to draw as many as 500 cars, trucks, and motorcycles on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21. Car owners and visitors alike will have the chance to contribute to a good cause, with funds raised during the event going to the York High School Athletic Boosters. In

past years, the show has drawn more than 600 cars and raised more than $20,000, allowing the Boosters to replace aging equipment, contribute to the needs of coaches and athletes, support leadership training for

coaches and athletes and provide six senior student-athlete scholarships. With a new turf field, the York Athletic Boosters have been able to supplement project needs with support from the community.

The York Athletic Boosters’ mission is to create a community around sports. Twothirds of the student body at York High School participates in sports in some way, as athletes or managers. Those who

do not participate in sports also benefit from the community around the events that school athletics create. York is a “minimum receiver” school district. As such, it receives about 7% of the funding needed to support essential programs and services from the state, while other school departments in Maine receive up to 70%. Therefore, fundraising is essential to supporting the athletic programs. See AUTOS on page 15...

generative disorder in the United States, currently affecting more than one million. An increasing body of clinical research emphasizes that regular exercise and community connection are among the most effective tools for managing progressive motor and vocal symptoms. “People get diagnosed and go straight to the neurologist, and that’s key,” said event creator and Parkinson’s advocate Dan Tobin. “And medication is key. But you

can’t stop there. Research has shown that exercise and socialization can often do more to control symptoms than drugs do. I have an incurable and debilitating disease, but there’s a lot I can do to manage it.” The expo breaks away from traditional lecture-only formats in favor of active involvement in a wide range of classes, from Rock Steady Boxing and other research-tested Parkinson’s-specific therapies to yoga, Tai Chi,

singing, African drumming, and ping pong. The core philosophy is simple: “Exercise plus socialize equals the best ‘one-two punch’ against Parkinson’s.” This grassroots initiative is made possible through the support of regional healthcare leaders and sponsors, including Beth Israel Lahey Health Exeter Hospital, Senior Helpers, The YMCA, and the Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital Network. Admission, parking, and all interactive classes are free of charge. No pre-registration is required, though families and care partners are encouraged to arrive early to take advantage of the many vendors and information boots available during the event.

Ogunquit Voters Approve $62M Playhouse Expansion

OGUNQUIT Voters in Ogunquit have approved the rezoning measures needed for a $62 million expansion and reconstruction of the Ogunquit Playhouse, clearing the way for the historic theater to modernize and expand its campus. In a separate ballot question, voters approved a zoning amendment increasing the maximum allowable building height for the playhouse to 55 feet. According to the Playhouse officials, the additional height is needed to support planned amenities, including a new mezzanine level, restrooms, and concession space. The measure was approved by a 498-261 vote, according to official town results. The three-phase project is designed to preserve the the-

ater’s historic 1937 facade while upgrading facilities for the next century. Planned improvements include: Theater Reconstruction: A redesigned auditorium with improved sight lines, added mezzanine, and more comfortable seating. Winterization: Upgraded insulation and infrastructure to make the venue usable yearround, opening opportunities for holiday shows and winter events. Campus Expansion: A new concessions building, event venue, administrative offices, and a landscaped courtyard entry plaza. On-Site Staff Housing: Residential accommodations for up to 75 visiting actors and production staff. Colony Redevelopment:

Modernization of the youth education facility with a rehearsal hall and technical workshop.

For more information, visit www.ogunquitplayhouse.org/ the-next-century.

A House for ME is a nonprofit based in Kittery. It is dedicated to providing housing opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorders and has plans for growth as many people across Maine continue to wait for services.

The organization receives no state or federal operating funds, relying on community generosity to bridge the gap between what residents can afford and the actual cost of maintaining the home. “Our annual auction is one of the most important ways we sustain our mission,” said Dennis Dean, co-founder and director of A House for ME. “Every bid directly supports adults with developmental disabilities who deserve a safe home, supportive community, and the opportunity to thrive.” This year’s auction features an expanded selection of more than 200 items, including

GRAY Marshwood High School AP Statistics students recently traveled to Gray to tour the National Weather Service Station. Science and Operations Officer Justin Arnott gave a presentation on how probability and statistics are used in different aspects of operational forecasting. Students learned about courses required for a meteorology degree, including model output statistics, forecast products, joint probabilities, ensemble forecasting, and verification.

While there, students were given a tour of the facilities and saw weather prediction in action. They were introduced to tools that gather data, including electronic temperature equipment, precipitation gauges, weather balloons and Doppler radar. The visit to the station helped students understand how statistics are used in forecasting and why math is an essential skill for any operational meteorologist.

Tips to Prevent Spread of Emerald Ash Borer STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Maine Forest Service is asking residents, landowners, and municipalities to help slow the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer, a destructive insect responsible for killing millions of ash trees across North America. As the emerald ash borer continues to threaten Maine’s on to the next, the first looked as though it had aged before my eyes. I blamed the paint but in reality, it had to be me. As the years passed, I left more paint on the siding and the window glass. The deck also grew old while sucking up more paint than my favorite box store could even carry. My tools grew as old and obsolete as me. My neighbors have equipment that is not only electronically operated, but also needs a master’s degree in engineering to operate. When they watch me pull out a hammer or hand-driven screwdriver they turn and smirk, wondering how and when I became so old. I came to the realization I may have grown older than my home. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York. 632 .tR 002 eM ,kciwreB .oS

uted over the axle. Last spring. I bought the same number of bags, but decided on the smaller ones, so I could easily lift them into the truck. While I was carrying them out, a young man from the store ran into the parking lot to see if I needed some help. In past years, I would thank him for his efforts and state I was fine. This time, I simply thanked him. I’ve been mowing lawns for 70 years now. At first, I was responsible for cutting my parents’ lawn and when I purchased my first home, I was proud to head out to my newly acquired yard with a newly purchased secondhand mower. After a short 45 minutes it was obvious I had the most manicured lawn in the neighborhood. A few years ago, after spending most of the afternoon on my rider lawnmower, it suddenly decided to quit. I didn’t make the decision; the mower did so itself by discharging its final gasp in a very thick, sulfur-filled cloud. I then took out my other mower to finish the job but it, too, decided to make its last noise— literally blowing its spark plug through a neighbor’s window. After multiple apologies, I called the local landscaping company and decided to never cut a blade of grass again. I figured it was God’s will. My wife keeps the inside of our home immaculate. I try to do the same with the outside by keeping the paint fresh and clean. I also try and make sure our deck looks as though no one ever stepped on it. For the past few years this has become a difficult task. In fact, the last time I attempted to paint the window trim, as soon as I finished one window and moved

200 Rt. 236 So. Berwick, Me

By Jim Fabiano All I could do was stare up at the corner trim of my house, hoping what I saw was a figment of my imagination. 24 hours earlier, we survived one of the windiest days of the year. That next morning, I surveyed my house, hoping to find everything intact. In fact, I thought I was all set because I was just about to go around my house when I discovered that it had decided to relinquish a section of its trim. I knew there was no danger of leakage but it looked like hell. As a younger man, I would have grabbed my ladder, found the section of trim now decorating my garden, and climb, hammer in hand, to undo the damage. Today, I find myself wondering who I could hire to do a job that I am no longer able or willing to complete. The thought of me lying on my back on the ground seemed like too much of a reality. I came to the realization I may now be older than my home. It still stood solid while I eventually lost my ability to maintain it. Over the past few years, there have been other moments that foreshadowed my inability to continue as custodian of the house. I have a large garden, of which I am very proud. Every spring before Memorial Day weekend, I travel to my favorite hardware box store in order to buy the supplies necessary to make my garden the envy of the neighborhood. Some of these items include at least 16 bags of garden soil. A few years ago I would buy the large bags, carry them off to my truck, and lift each one into the truck bed, making sure the weight was evenly distrib-

forests and communities, the Maine Forest Service encourages the public to learn how to identify ash trees and signs of infestation, participate in monitoring efforts, and help prevent the spread of invasive pests. Tips from the Maine Forest Service for slowing the spread of the emerald ash borer: Learn how to identify ash trees. Ash trees can be identified by their opposite branching pattern, meaning branches and leaves grow directly across from each other on the stem. Most ash species in Maine have compound leaves made up of five to nine leaflets arranged along a central stalk, with leaves that are typically oval-shaped and pointed at the tip. The bark on mature ash trees is gray and forms a distinct pattern of diamond-shaped ridges. Ash trees also produce

clusters of winged seeds, often called samaras, that hang in bunches and can remain on the tree into fall or early winter. Learn how to identify signs of the emerald ash borer. Once ash trees are identified, signs of emerald ash borer may be observed. “Blonding” may appear on ash trees, a shallow flecking of bark caused by woodpeckers feeding on emerald ash borer larvae and pupae. If blonding is observed, clear photos should be taken, the location noted and findings reported on the emerald ash borer report form. Learn how to identify emerald ash borer. Adults typically emerge from ash trees starting in June. If an emerald ash borer is observed, it should be photographed or collected and reported on the emerald ash borer report form. Create a girdled ash tree to monitor for emerald ash borer. Trees can become part of the emerald ash borer monitoring network. Knowing where emerald ash borer is located helps the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry See BORER on page 16...

Un l i ke ma ny puppies who spend their first weeks in a shelter, Louis was fortunate enough to grow up in a loving foster home since the day he was born. Because of that, he’s already learning that people are kind, cuddles are wonderful, and being loved is a pretty great way to start life. Caleb’s Opus recently discovered Louis may be a purebred Australian shepherd. There are no photos or records of his parents, but as with many rescue puppies, breed makeup can never be guaranteed.

KENNEBUNK Hi, friends! My name is Odette—it’s nice to meet you. Monday, June 8 was National Best Friends day, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a best friend. Some dogs want to be the life of the party. I’m more interested in finding that special person or family to share my life with. I’m a little shy at first, but once I learn to trust someone, I’m incredibly loyal, loving, and devoted. That’s why I’m not just looking for a home—I’m also looking for a best friend.

most isn’t a breed label. What matters is that Louis is a happy, affectionate puppy who loves attention, enjoys snuggling, and is looking for a family ready to help him continue growing into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. If Louis does have strong Australian shepherd genetics, his future family should be prepared for an intelligent, active dog who will thrive with training, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Aussies are wonderful companions, but they do best when they’re included in life’s adventures. Louis is looking for a family who will love him for who he is, not simply for what breed he might be—exactly what this sweet boy deserves.

Another Chance Animal Rescue SANFORD Another Chance Animal Rescue has two sweet and entertaining 10-month-old cats. These two kitties are the whole package; they are happy, healthy, playful, and enjoy all that life has to offer. These cats can be adopted together or separately and will make great companions for any loving home. LT is a female flame point with light blue eyes. She is friendly, likes to play, and will make a good companion. Gidget is an adorable brown female tiger cat. She has a bobtail and deep gold eyes. She loves her toys! Please reach out to Cyndi at 603-498-6898 for more information. ACAR is in need of volunteer foster homes. Fostering cats and kittens provides a short- or long-term opportunity for the felines to live in a home instead of a shelter. It is very beneficial for the cats to get the attention and love of a home setting. It’s also a rewarding experience for the fosters as well! Please reach out to Judi at 207-651-1803 or Paula at 978250-1560 to learn more or to obtain a foster application.

...HAVEN from page 6 where cats might otherwise perish. Maine has many rural properties with cats that need help. Sadly, some shelters turn away feral cats. Instead of saving local cats, they bring in cats and kittens from out of state that are ready for adoption. Safe Haven supports saving cats in other states, but Maine cats should come first. Volunteers work hard to pick up the slack where others turn their backs. Trapping and rescue takes time and money. Equipment, gas, vet care, supplies, and housing are big expenses. Why does Safe Haven do it? Because most shelters won’t, many can’t, and the animals need al lthe help they can get. Most have not bee spayed or neutered, or have ever seen a vet. Cats that are not spayed or neutered keep breeding, creating more problems. Kittens as young as just 16 weeks old can get pregnant. Two months later they give

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Author Eric Jay Dolin at KFL KENNEBUNK Eric Jay Dolin, author of “The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair and Deliverance in the Age of Sail,” will be at the Kennebunk Free Library at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 17, to share the story behind the book. Lupine Books will be on hand with copies of Dolin’s book available for purchase and signing. From the best-selling author of “Black Flags, Blue Waters” comes the story of the American whaleship Mentor, wrecked in 1832 on a remote reef in the western Pacific. With supplies dwindling, the 11 surviving crewmen face not only the miseries of shipwreck in unfamiliar territory but also the profound uncertainty of contact with Indigenous people of the Micronesian archipelago of Palau, who within days approach the deserted men brandishing axes, clubs, and spears. In this saga of cultural collision, tribal wars and dashed hopes, Dolin vividly reconstructs the Mentor’s doomed voyage, the years of perilous captivity, and the delicate negotiations and fraught naval rescue mission that followed. Illustrated by more than 100 images and maps, “The Wreck of the Mentor” is at once a powerful story of survival and a revealing

window into the great Age of Sail—a time when maritime ambition collided with local sovereignty, and when the outcome of one voyage rippled across oceans and empires. Eric Jay Dolin is the author of 17 books, including “Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America,” “A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America’s Hurricanes,” “Black Flags, Blue Waters: The Epic History of America’s Most Notorious Pirates” and “Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution.” Dolin’s books have won numerous awards, including the John Lyman Award for U.S. Maritime History, Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Excellence in American History Book Award for Adult Nonfiction, Samuel Eliot Morison Book Award for Naval Literature, James P. Hanlan Book Award, and the Outdoor Writers Association of America Book Award. Many of his books have been chosen as “must reads” by the Massachusetts Center for the Book.

Maine her home for the past 35 years. She holds a doctorate in chemistry and spent more than 30 years as a corporate leader and scientist. She led teams in the research and development of diagnostic products for both human health and veterinary markets. Huth is an active member and trustee of the Maine Audubon Society and the mother of an adult daughter. Now an empty nester, she has returned to her lifelong love of birds and enjoys exploring Maine with birding friends. Gibb has been a Maine resident all his life. He has earned a solid reputation in Maine’s birding community for his keen visual and auditory bird identi-

and will also be livestreamed via Zoom. In 2025, Huth, a scientist, and Gibb, an avid birder, photographer and birding tour guide, embarked on a Maine Big Year and discovered that their team effort was a winning combination. What started as an occasional bird walk at a local marsh grew into the concept of their Integrated Birding Process and “The Experiment.” They combined top-notch birding expertise with strategic planning. The result was a new Maine state record of 332 bird species seen in a calendar year. The public is invited to join the authors as they present “An Experiment in Birding.” The presentation will highlight Huth and Gibb’s success with their “Maine Big Year” and will include select readings from the book. Paperback copies will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Huth has made southern

SEACOAST C&J Bus Lines announces an expansion of its late-night service from Logan International Airport and South Station beginning Thursday, June 25. The additional ser vice will operate Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, giving travelers throughout the Seacoast region more convenient options after evening events, late-arriving flights, and nights out in Boston. C&J’s airport service already runs every 30 minutes during peak travel periods, creating one of the region’s most frequent airport transportation schedules. The new departures extend that frequency northbound from Logan Airport through the evening, creating continuous halfhour service from 12:10 p.m. to 12:10 a.m. The new 11:30 p.m. South Station departure is timed for riders heading home after concerts, Red Sox games, and other events that run late into the evening. Together, these schedule enhancements provide customers with greater flexibility and make it easier to travel between New Hampshire and Boston on their own schedule. To further improve the customer experience, C&J’s Portsmouth complimentary parking shuttle will begin operating 24 hours a day starting June 25 as well. The expanded shuttle schedule will provide greater convenience for passengers returning from Boston and connecting to vehicles parked at the Portsmouth Transportation Center. “Our riders have been asking for later departures from Boston, and we’re happy to deliver,” said Jamie Casey, president of C&J Bus Lines. “Whether it’s a Red Sox game, a concert, dinner in the city, or a late-arriving flight, people want the flexibility to stay a little longer without worrying about how they’re getting home. With our service running every 30 minutes between the Seacoast and Logan Airport, customers can travel on their own schedule. It’s about as close to on-demand transportation as you can get, at a fraction of the cost.” The new schedules are part of C&J’s ongoing efforts to improve service and respond to customer demand. Additional service enhancements will be announced later this month. C&J Bus Lines, a provider of transportation services since 1968, offers scheduled intercity passenger service from Dover, Portsmouth and Seabrook, NH, connecting to Boston South Station and Logan International Airport, as well as executiveclass service to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York. The company operates a fleet of motor coaches maintained at its facility in Rollinsford, ensuring comfort, safety and reliability. C&J employs workers from the Seacoast region and focuses on convenience, reliability and customer service. For schedules and updates, visit www.ridecj.com.

The Biden administration later launched Direct File, which was available to taxpayers in several states, including Maine, and allowed eligible

users to file federal tax returns online directly through the IRS at no charge. “We have serious concerns that Free File cannot efficiently, effectively, and securely serve the taxpayers who are statutorily entitled to free tax filing services,” wrote the lawmakers to GAO on May 17. “GAO accepts your request as work that is within the scope of its authority. We anticipate that staff with the required skills

will be available shortly to initiate an engagement,” responded GAO. The new GAO investigation will examine the program’s user experience, accessibility, accuracy and costs. The review also will assess concerns about participation in the Free File program and challenges some low- and middleincome taxpayers face when seeking free tax-filing services. King has supported efforts related to tax administration and enforcement. Earlier this year, he introduced the Stop Corporations and High Earners from Avoiding Taxes and Enforce the Rules Strictly, or Stop CHEATERS, Act, legislation that would provide additional funding for IRS tax enforcement, technology operations, systems modernization and taxpayer services, including free tax assistance. In December, King called on the Trump administration to restore staffing and resources at the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent organization within the IRS that assists taxpayers in resolving issues with the agency.

Health & Fitness New EMTs Celebrate Graduation

Healing Together, One Mind at a Time

We’re thrilled to welcome two compassionate therapists to our team and to our community.

At Mending Minds Counseling, we believe in healing together and supporting mental wellness for individuals, couples, and families across our community.

Support. Compassion. Connection. Healing.

YORK COUNTY They have learned how to respond to 911 calls for medical assistance, take a pulse, read blood pressure, assess a patient’s condition, provide first aid and life support, care for sick or injured patients, and much more. On Tuesday, June 2, 17 newly minted emergency medical technicians (pictured) graduated from a 16-week program offered by York County Community College (YCCC) and held at the York County Regional Training Center in Alfred. The course began in early January and included four hours of classroom instruction and eight hours of hands-on laboratory training each week. Graduates are now eligible to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) certification exam. The graduates come from all walks of life and experiences. “I decided to take the next step,” said Caitie Allman of Cornish, who has worked for the past four years as a driver at Sacopee Rescue, a nonprofit that responds to more than 1,000 emergency calls annually in Cornish, Hiram, Porter, and Parsonsfield in northern York County. “I love it.” EMT is a new career path for Kathy Bip of Kittery, who

has worked in graphics for more than 25 years. She said she began hiking, became a steward of a local trail, and would assist search-and-rescue teams if incidents occurred there. “It’s awesome,” she said of the program. Currently a volunteer at York Village Fire Station, Bipart plans to shadow a paramedic and continue her education. “This was the first time I really enjoyed studying.” Jemario Smith of North Berwick is enrolled in the health sciences program at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, and decided to take the EMT course as well, which will earn him credit towards his goal: “I want to be a physician assistant,” he said. “I’m proud to be here,” said student Laura Calhoun, director of the Wood Island Life Saving Station Museum on an island off Kittery, open Memorial Day through early October. She took the course to be able to render aid should a medical incident take place.

Celebration of Reading Day at Wells Elementary

WELLS Wells Elementary School recently celebrated the school district’s annual Celebration of Reading Day. More than 60 guest readers visited preassigned classrooms to share and read books with students. Readers included teachers’ family members, community volunteers, law enforcement officers, retired teachers, and staff from the district’s three schools.

Every classroom was visited by at least one guest reader. Near the end of the school day, costumed characters Elephant and Piggie read a book to the entire school in the gymnasium. The event has been coordinated by the Community Resource Coordinator Maryanne Foley for the past 32 years. It is planned to take place near or on the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and National

Read Across America Day. The event did not take place in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wells Junior High School also has a similar reading celebration day, but on a smaller scale for fifth-grade students. This year, on March 13, six Wells High School students and four Wells Rotary Club members volunteered to read. This celebration of read-

ing has benefited not only thousands of students over three decades but also the many community volunteers who donate their time to visit the schools and read aloud children’s books

to classrooms full of excited students. Article provided by Public Information Officer Reg Bennett for the Wells-Ogunquit Consolidated School District.

...AWS from page 6 we become friends, you’ll have a loyal companion by your side. If you’re looking for a dog who values meaningful connections and quiet moments together, then we could be best friends! I can be shy when meeting new people, and that’s okay. Some of the strongest friendships aren’t built overnight. Give me a little patience, understanding, and encouragement, and you’ll see my personality shine through. I believe trust is something that grows over time, and when it does, it creates a bond that’s worth every moment of the journey.

One of my favorite places to be is outdoors. I love feeling the breeze, exploring the yard, and taking in all of the sights and smells around me. I don’t need big adventures to be happy— I’m more interested in spending quality time with the those I love. Whether we’re enjoying a peaceful walk, relaxing outside together, or simply sharing a quiet moment at the end of the day, I’m happiest when I’m with my people. To me, that’s what friendship is all about! If you are interested in adopting, give my friends at AWS a call today! Thank you!

Seacoast Golf Update YORK The York River Stewardship Committee, in coordination with Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation and the York Harbor Board, sponsored the installation of two fishing line collection bins at Town Docks 1 and 2 in York Harbor. Fishing line discarded into the water or left on the shoreline poses severe threats to fish, birds, and other wildlife. The collection bins provide anglers or anyone who finds discarded fishing line an easy way to keep it out of the environment and protect wildlife from entanglements. Blue Ocean Society volunteer Stephanie Burrows worked with York’s Harbormaster Forrest Brenske in May to choose sites and install the two bins. She will regularly collect discarded

fishing line from the bins and send it to the Berkley Conservation Institute for recycling. The Institute has recycled more than 9 million miles of fishing line since 1990. Collection bins are already located throughout coastal New Hampshire and southern Maine. Grant funding from the committee’s enabled Blue Ocean Society to add these first bins in York, giving local river users a convenient option to dispose of unwanted fishing line. The Blue Ocean Society website has information on the Fishing Line Recycling Program and bin locations. For more information, visit www.yorkrivermaine.org orwww.blueoceansociety.org/ beachcleanup/fishing-line-recycling-program.

...EMTS from page 26 Maine’s Workforce for funding the program. “I couldn’t have done this without [them],” she said. Graduate Keegan Johnston is a part-time firefighter at Goodwin’s Mills Fire and Rescue, while Bill Gifford is a firefighter-operator at Limerick Fire Department and first became an EMT 26 years ago. His license expired in 2021, he said, and a colleague suggested he take the course again. “There’s been a lot of changes,” he said. The graduates are entering a field where there are jobs available across the country. Overall employment of EMTs and paramedics is projected to grow 5% through 2034, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Standards. About 19,000 openings for EMTs and paramedics are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers

who transfer to different occupations or retire. On graduation night, the lecture hall was overf lowing with family members. Afterward, there was time for cake and ice cream, and photos. “You put in a lot of hard work to get here,” YCCC Dean of Students Chris Burbank told the graduates, pointing out they are the first to study and graduate in the new training facility. “We know the blood, sweat and tears you went through,” noting that the college is incredible proud of the work students put in.

“I truly love to see the spa rk i n people enter i ng this industry,” said Paul D. Froman, EMS department chair at YCCC’s sister campus, Southern Maine Community College. “You have a set of skills most people don’t have,” York County Regional Training Center Director Roger Hooper told the graduates. “At the beginning of your program, I mentioned making your community better—go do that.” A r ticle submit ted by Tammy Wells for York County Government media.
