Read with Jenna is participating in the foundation’s series of Celebration of Reading events throughout the year. Jenna Bush Hager provided a special message to Maine Celebration of Reading attendees via video. “My grandmother had an enormous influence on my love of reading. She taught me that the written word has incredible power to change hearts and minds,” said Jenna Bush Hager. “She believed that a parent is a child’s first and best teacher. Now as a mom of three, I know how fortunate I am to have the opportunity to share my love of reading with my own children. Her hope was that every family in America would have that same opportunity to experience the joy of reading and to pass it down to their children.” The event was hosted by Doro Bush Koch, daughter of Barbara Bush and President George H.W. Bush, who serves as the BBF’s honorary chair. “It is particularly meaningful to honor my mother here in Maine, where my family has made countless special memories over the years,” said Doro Bush Koch. “Mom... took every opportunity to highlight the importance of literacy, so I know
that she would be thrilled to see so many people paying tribute to her by supporting the cause that meant so much to her.” T h roug hout 2025, t he foundation is celebrating the Barbara Bush Centennial – a yearlong series of special initiatives honoring the 100th anniversary of Barbara Bush’s birth. In addition to the Maine Celebration of Reading, the BBF has hosted events in New York City and Miami, FL. The initiative will culminate in a National Celebration of Reading, to be held on November 6 in Washington, D.C., where the foundation is headquartered. While in Kennebunkport, the BBF participated in a series of local events paying tribute to Barbara Bush, including a community birthday celebration hosted by the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust. In partnership with the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library, the foundation provided family literacy activities, story times and take-home resources centered around its Literacy Explorer Kits. The BBF is distributing these free kits, which provide the materials needed to host a family literacy event, to 100 sites nationwide, including libraries, family literacy programs, and community organizations.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLSMarshmallow was brought to Safe Haven by a woman who didn’t want to surrender her but had no choice due to her landlord’s pet restrictions. She already had two cats and had agreed to temporarily house Marshmallow for a friend. After six months, the cat’s owner never returned, leaving her one kitty over the limit. Feeling miserable about what she described as a “betrayal,” she brought Marshmallow to Safe Haven, heartbroken over the decision. Safe Haven fully under-
stands why the woman had to surrender Marshmallow, who is the sweetest, prettiest cat – and so easy to love. Marshmallow was frightened during her first night at the shelter, hiding under blankets and jumping, startled, at every sound. But by day two, she was confident and seeking affection from the volunteers. This all-white shorthaired sweetie is only about two years old and in excellent health. Unlike some all-white cats, Marshmallow has excellent hearing and is
no cats at all. Most importantly, Marshmallow needs love and affection from people. If you are in need of a wonderful forever friend, this is your kitty! Marshmallow is very desirable. Those interested should contact the shelter today to arrange a meet-and-greet. Prospective adopters can also fill out an adoption form online. Safe Haven’s clothing manager, Clare, has created a great environment. This week, she is holding a brief, three-day Father’s
Day sale from June 13-15. Customers can get 25% off all men’s shirts and shorts. Women’s long pants and capris, as well as all men’s long pants, are 2 for $5. The sale ends Sunday at 4 p.m., so shoppers are encouraged to “shop till you drop!” The Vintage, Thrift, and Antique Shop at 1784 Post Road is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors can also stop by Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. to meet the kitties. The shop accepts donations every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. Thank you!

Caleb’s Opus YORK Meet Gemma! This beautiful, playful, smart, and brave girl was found on the streets of a Mississippi town on May 31. Caleb’s Opus has no idea how she survived, how long she had been out there, or where her mom or siblings are. She was alone on the street. Look into Gemma’s eyes, and you’ll see a soul truly burdened by her life experiences so far. And yet, Gemma still believes and hopes for the best. She loves people but, understandably, can be a little shy at first. Once she opens up to someone, she’s a lover. All the snuggles, kisses, and wagging, excited tail will be for her people. Gemma is approximately 3 months old and will be spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped upon arrival. Because Caleb’s Opus has no information about Gemma’s lineage, her adult size is unknown. Caleb’s Opus is a small, foster-based rescue dedicated to finding loving homes for misplaced, abandoned and homeless dogs who need help the
not deaf! Her ideal home would be with a family that has gentle children who can teach her how to play. Marshmallow used to sleep beside her former owner’s young son, whose heart broke when she had to be surrendered. Marshmallow was happy with the cats in her former home but is still wary of her new roommates, the shelter’s other cat residents. Things take time. Either a non-threatening, mellow cat or a super friendly cat would be a good friend for her – otherwise,
most. Visit their website to learn more, submit an application, or discover the meaning behind their name. Can you open your home to foster a puppy or adult dog until they find their forever family? Caleb’s Opus provides all necessary supplies at no cost – all they ask is that you provide love and care. Fostering doesn’t have to be a full-time commitment. Even offering your home a few times a year can make a life-changing difference. By fostering, you’re helping save a dog’s life.
KENNEBUNK Hi everyone, my name is Sam Bramstoker, and it’s so nice to meet you! As a low-key, easy-going senior cat, one of my favorite things to do is curl up and take a nice nap. I mean, who doesn’t love a good nap? So, for this week’s Pet of the Week, let me tell you all about my favorite spots to nap. There’s nothing better than curling up on a lap for a nap! Sharing a special bond with my favorite people comes with a lot of snuggle time. I love to show my affection by claiming a spot on your lap or right next to you for a cozy nap. As long as I’m snuggled up to my person, I’m in my happy place. When I’m not taking over your lap, I enjoy catching some sun while I rest and relax. Finding the right spot near a window
where the sun hits just right makes for a wonderful nap! The warmth and comfort put me right to sleep, especially after a long, tiring day filled with pets, headbutts, and making biscuits. There’s nothing like melting into the sunshine and catching some Zs. On days when there’s no sun to bathe in, I like to find the highest spot I can. After surveying my domain, I can rest easy. I like to think of it as my nap throne, where royalty like me get to snooze after a tiring day of ruling! It’s the perfect place to keep an eye on my toys, my people, and any snacks I can find from above. Now that you know all about my favorite spots to nap, let me share a little more about myself. As an older gentleman, I prefer an environment that’s as relaxed as I am. If someone enjoys a cozy night in with a book or a
movie (or maybe a nap!), then I could be the cat for you! If you or someone you know is interested in adopting, then come by the Adoption Center or give my friends at AWS a call today! Thank you!

Father’s Day Tech Gifts: Great Gadgets for Every Type of Dad
NATIONWIDE Father’s Day is this Sunday, and what better way to celebrate the dad you love than by giving him a new gadget or streaming service? Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all gift, but depending on his interests, narrowing down that perfect present becomes easier with a few handy guidelines provided by HowToGeek (www.howtogeek.com). The following are five tech gift ideas almost any dad would be sure to love. For the Health-Conscious Dad An Apple Watch provides all the health metrics dad needs – and more. If dad is keeping an eye on his health or enjoys the outdoors, a smartwatch can go a long way in aiding in his health journey. It helps track workouts, monitor heart rate and, in some cases, includes safety features like Emergency SOS and Fall Detection. If dad frequently hikes or spends time on the water, consider a cellular model watch. It lets him receive notifications and updates even without his phone – perfect for those off-the-grid moments. For the DIY Dad The Pinecil Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron is a compact and capable tool that’s great for tech-savvy dads. Many soldering irons are bulky or difficult to handle, but the Pinecil – about the size of a pencil – is designed for portability and quick jobs.
The latest model of this opensource, temperature-controlled soldering iron heats quickly and is ideal for small-scale projects. It’s a great upgrade for any dad who enjoys tinkering with electronics or building things from scratch. For the Dad Who Loves to Cook If dad enjoys cooking or grilling, consider gifting him the Paprika 3 app, which syncs recipes across Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. Paprika 3 features a clean, user-friendly interface that allows him to save recipes, pin favorites, and create grocery lists. While the mobile version works just fine, a tablet is ideal for reading recipes. A cost-effective option is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, which features a vibrant 11-inch screen, kid-friendly design and quad speakers. It’s a strong Android alternative to an iPad – and easier on the wallet. Be sure to pair it with a stand. For the Super Geeky Dad Tech-savvy dads can be hard to shop for, but the Raspberry Pi 5 is almost always a win. This latest version of the popular, low-cost mini computer is faster, more powerful and still compact – perfect for dads who love to tinker. The Pi 5 is a springboard for all kinds of tech projects, from retro gaming consoles and smart home hubs to lightweight
$22 Million for Recycled Forest Product Manufacturing STATEWIDE The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration recently awarded $22 million in funding to Maine’s Forest Bioproducts Advanced Manufacturing Tech Hub, led by the Maine Technology Institute. The grant will support two projects aimed at further
desktop systems. It’s ideal for learning Linux, coding, and electronics. Highly customizable, it supports add-ons like GPIO pins, HATs and custom cases – all while offering a strong performance-to-cost ratio. The Pi 5 doesn’t come with storage or an operating system, so users typically install Raspberry Pi OS on a microSD card. For beginners, a starter kit is the easiest way to go, bundling the board with a power supply, case, fans, and cables. Even if dad already has one, a second Pi opens the door to more possibilities. Whether you choose a kit or the board alone, the Raspberry Pi 5 is a great fit for those dads who love building and exploring. See DADS on page 11 . . .
positioning Maine as a global leader in forest-based biomaterial production and manufacturing. “Maine is a leader in the forest products industry – both here at home and around the globe,” said the delegation. “An investment in our forestry sector is a direct investment into Maine’s economy and future.” The grant will support two main efforts. First, it will help turn new forest-based technologies into real products by connecting researchers with the business support and partners they need to succeed. This also includes leading the group’s planning and coordination, keeping everyone on track and involved. Second, the grant will help develop and test new ideas – like improved raw materials, product uses, and ways to manufacture them. It will also offer expert help to reduce risk and use the Tech
Hub’s tools and programs to move the best ideas forward faster. In March 2024, the delegation wrote to the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development in support of Maine’s application for a Tech Hubs Implementation grant. Separately, Senator Susan Collins sent a follow-up letter advocating for the program to receive funding. Previously, the Forest Bioproducts Advanced Manufacturing Tech Hub received a $500,000 Consortium Accelerator Award to continue implementing its strategies – including pursuing additional capital – and was one of six tech hubs nationwide to receive awards through the fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. The Forest Bioproducts Advanced Manufacturing Tech Hub is one of 31 Tech Hubs designated in October 2023 by the Department of Commerce to scale up production of critical technologies, create jobs in innovative industries, strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness and national security, and accelerate the growth of future industries in regions across the United States.

. . . AUTOS from page 1 York is a “minimum receiver” school department, meaning it receives about 7% of the funding needed for essential programs and services from the state. Other school departments in Maine receive up to 70%. Therefore, fundraising is essential to supporting the athletic programs. Car show season follows the warm-weather months, and York is a perfect location for a car show. Everyone wants to get their car out of the garage and on the road. Especially when it comes to antique cars, owners do not want to travel a long distance. This year’s event promises to be even bigger, with additional food trucks, kids’ face painting, and more vendors. By popular request, a British category has been added this year. The Mustang category continues to be split between pre-1978 models and post-1978 models.
Other event categories include hot rods, trucks, Jeeps, classic 1950s, 1960s and 1970s cars, Corvettes pre- and post-1968, muscle cars, Mopars, Camaros and Firebirds, modern cars, tuners, Eurosports, Volkswagens, pre-1950 antiques, special interest vehicles, and motorcycles. Attendees can vote for their favorites, and each category will have first-, second- and thirdplace winners. A trophy ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. Cars may arrive and register starting at 7 a.m. The entry fee is $10 per car. Public gates open at 8 a.m., and the event concludes with the awarding of trophies at 1 p.m. Trophies awarded at the two previous auto shows that were not picked up will also be available. General admission $5 with kids under 12, free. For more information, visit www.yorkautoshow.com or find them on Facebook.

Quagliaroli (Peggy). Doug was born on February 6, 1943, and was raised in Windsor Locks, CT. He graduated from Windsor Locks High School and the Morse School of Business in Hartford, CT. As a teenager, Doug was an accomplished horseman, swimmer, and diver. He enlisted in the United States Air Force and served as a communications specialist in Spain. Following his military service, Doug began working for the McDonald’s Corporation. He worked his way up the corporate ladder from Assistant Store Manager to Director of Operations for the Boston region. In this capacity, he oversaw more than 500 McDonald’s restaurants in New England. In 1985, Doug retired from corporate life and, as an independent owner-operator, bought his first restaurant in Old Town. Doug’s wife, Linda, eventually became a licensed owner-operator in her own right. Together, they grew their franchise to a total of seven restaurants throughout Maine. As a team, they received numerous business achievement awards. Doug was a member of both the regional and national Operator Advisory Boards and a recipient of the Margaret Chase

If dad is impossible to shop for – or if you live far away and aren’t sure what he needs – a Netflix gift card is a safe choice. With a massive library of TV shows, movies, and original content, Netflix is a go-to for relaxation.

~ Kudos ~ Traip Academy Announces Latin Honors Students, Co-Valedictorians
KITTERY Jane Durgin, principal of Robert W. Traip Academy, is proud to announce the Co-Valedictorians and Latin Honor students from the Class of 2025. Co-Valedictorians Makili Matty, son of Raphael and Blayne Matty, is a student who exemplifies the very best of Traip Academy. A gifted scholar with a genuine love of learning, Makili has excelled in advanced and AP courses across disciplines, with particular strength in mathematics. His talents extend to the arts, engineering, and creative writing. Makili is a standout athlete, serving as captain of the soccer team and earning honors such as the Western Maine Conference Class C/D Player of the Year and recognition from Seacoast Online. He also participates in nordic skiing, lacrosse, ice hockey, and is an active member of the robotics and math teams. He serves as co-president of the Interact Club and appeared in this year’s school musical, showcasing his multifaceted interests. Known for his kindness, integrity, and community service, Makili plans to attend Colby College, majoring in Mathematics. Me red it h Mc G on ig le, daughter of Michael and Sarah McGonigle, has demonstrated extraordinary academic strength, artistic talent, and personal drive
throughout her time at Traip Academy. A top scholar across all disciplines, Meredith is also a dedicated artist and athlete. She has played key roles on the varsity soccer, lacrosse, and alpine ski teams, and has long been active in environmental and service efforts through the Interact Club and the school’s greenhouse program. Meredith’s goals are matched by action – such as her pursuit of hiking all 48 of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot peaks. Deeply influenced by her international experience living in London and her family’s love of nature and the arts, Meredith is thoughtful, humble, and driven by her values. She will attend Tufts University’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where she will study Studio Art. Latin Honors: The following students are also being recognized for their impressive academic performance with Latin Honors, which are awarded based on cumulative GPA: Summa Cum Laude (With Highest Honor): Keira Alessi, Peter Brewer, Frances Burke, Sarah Carven, Camden Cyr, Acadia Dorgan, Cecilia Gagner, Sienna Graham, Sage Hoffman, Autumn Jacques, Ruby Jedziniak, Sadie Latchaw, Elivia Mandani, Adelaide Schroeck, Grace Scoggins, Ian Seckler,
Students Recognized Nationally at Recycle Regatta SOUTH BERWICK Three students at Berwick Academy have been nationally recognized for their ingenuity, earning the “Most Creative” award in the Opti Fleet (grades 3-5) division of the 2025 Recycle Regatta, a national competition hosted by Educational Passages. The winning team – Maverick Randall (grade 5), Sebastian Romero (grade 4), and Thayer McGann (grade 5) – designed and built a model sailboat, the S.S. Trashformers, entirely from recycled and repurposed materials. Their entry stood out from submissions across the country for its imaginative design, thoughtful engineering, and environmentally conscious construction. The Recycle Regatta challenges students in grades K through 12 to build seaworthy vessels using only discarded or repurposed materials. The Myles Seckler, Camden Wiles. Magna Cum Laude (With Great Honor): Christopher Balano, Enrique Blackwood, Aleiana Booker, Bayla Cassinelli, Phinian Fifield, Delia Hartley, Elias Holben, Jacey Johnson, Tayla Parsons, Abigail Rivers, Aberash Robinson, Lilly Stuart, William Sumsion, Kavika Vargas, Ava Walker, Leanna Walters. Cum Laude (With Honor): Ava Anzelmo, Samantha Bonfiglio-Eaves, Jonas Byrne, Jack Downs, Samuel Jordan, Anne Krumsiek, Amelia Leland, Oliver Marple, Colin O’Loughlin, Siobhan Reeve, Riley Robinson, Emelie Rollins, Conner Scott, Ethan Wilfong, Christopher Wyeth.

competition promotes handson learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM), while encouraging environmental stewardship. Entries are evaluated in two categories: Most Seaworthy and Most Creative, with just two national winners selected in each gradelevel fleet. Berwick Academy’s boat was submitted through a Friday marine science enrichment program for grades 4 through 6, by Kevin McGann, a marine researcher and educator who has taught college-level courses at the University of Southern Maine, Southern Maine Community College, and at Shoals Marine Laboratory – a field station jointly operated by Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. He is also a Berwick parent. The project was designed to integrate principles of marine science with creative problem-solving, teamwork, and sustainability. “I’m incredibly proud of what these students accomplished,” said McGann. “They
brought creativity, focus, and curiosity – and in the process, explored real marine science concepts like buoyancy, stability, and vessel design. I’m grateful for programs like Educational Passages and the support from Berwick that make this kind of hands-on, meaningful learning possible. It’s exactly how students connect science to the real world.” As part of the competition, the students tested their sailboat in a series of buoyancy and movement trials, making iterative improvements along the way. The final design featured pencils with colored cotton balls as the deck and railings of the ship, and a mast and sail made from green cloth. “We’re really proud of our boat,” said Randall. “We had so much fun building it and figuring out how to make it float and sail.” Article submitted by Jamie Reynolds, Director of Communications, Berwick Academy.

WELLS Iceland abounds in natural splendor: waterfalls and glaciers, panoramic views and otherworldly landscapes. It is a land of Northern Lights and midnight sun. And it is the realm of one of the world’s most charming and iconic birds: the Atlantic puffin. But Iceland is home to much more. During the summer months, round-the-clock sunlight draws in a panoply of birds: razorbills and guillemots, phalaropes and godwits, plovers and terns – all join the puffins in a nesting frenzy. Wildlife photographer and Mass Audubon instructor Shawn Carey will give a presentation featuring images and stories from his journey to two Icelandic islands. The audience will “visit” Grimsey and Flatey islands, off Iceland’s mainland. The islands are an ideal location for bird photographers and bird watchers seeking a prime spot to view and photograph nesting seabirds that call the area home during the summer. The island of Flatey, in particular, is a hidden gem for photographers and birders alike. Most

people pass through Flatey – via ferry service from Stykkishólmur – on their way to the well-known Látrabjarg bird cliffs to see Atlantic puffins and razorbills. However, those who take the time to explore Flatey will find a small island offering excellent photographic opportunities, especially for black guillemots, red-necked phalaropes and common redshanks, to name a few. Carey produces bird- and wildlife-related multimedia presentations, videos, and photo workshops that have been presented throughout the United States. He moved from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts in 1986 and began birdwatching in 1988. With a growing interest in both photography and birding, Carey began combining the two in 1991. By 1994, he and longtime friend Jim Grady founded Migration Productions to present their slide presentations to live audiences. Carey’s photos have been published in The Boston Globe, The New York Times, Science magazine, and other publications. The presentation takes place Tuesday, June 17, at 7 p.m. in Mather Auditorium at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm, 342 Laudholm Farm Road, Wells, and online via Zoom. The talk is free and open to all ages. No registration is required to attend in person; however, registration is required to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.

Marginal Way Centennial Talk: “Stories from Stone” Alumni Concert at York High School
OGUNQUIT Emily Peterman, associate professor of Earth and Oceanographic Science at Bowdoin College, will present “Stories from Stone” at the Dunaway Center, 23 School Street, Ogunquit, on Wednesday, June 18, at 7 p.m. Peterman is a longtime fan of the rugged rocks that line the Marginal Way. While Maine is famous for its rocky coast, the Kittery formation visible along

of the mystery and majesty of the Earth’s formation, she was fascinated by how evidence of ancient forces – dating back millions of year – is still visible today to those who know how to look. She pivoted to majoring in geology, determined to train her eye to uncover these secrets. Today, Peterman works to impart that same sense of wonder and curiosity to her students, training them in both field and laboratory research to unravel the mysteries of Earth’s origins preserved in rock formations such as those along the Marginal Way. This work, she says, is not simply about uncovering the past – it is a way to appreciate the natural world and become better stewards of the environment for future generations. Early in her career, Peterman was mentored by Professor Dave West – who had been mentored by the late Professor Arthur Hussey II, longtime geology consultant to the Marginal Way. Emily thinks of Professor Hussey as her “mentor grandfather” and is continuing his stewardship of the Marginal Way by taking on his role as geology consultant to the town committee. The presentation unlocks the ancient stories hidden in the stones along the Marginal
YORK The York High School choral program will hold its seventh Chamber Singers Alumni Concert on Saturday evening, June 14. The concert will take place at the York Community Auditorium and begin at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Under the direction of Rob Westerberg, with accompanist Deborah Clough, the program will feature performances by a choir of more than 90 alumni returning to York from across the country and Europe.

YORK Inspired by the myriad ways the universe is believed to communicate with the human race, “Cosmic Things,” a new exhibit at the George Marshall Store Gallery in York, explores signs, symbols, objects and patterns through which meaning is received and interpreted. The exhibition features work by 47 artists who share personal mythologies, iconographies, and belief systems inspired by recurring dreams, animal messengers, coincidences and synchronicities, natural phenomena, totems, touchstones, and more. Collectively, the artists reflect on the shared human experience of personal cosmic correspondence. The opening reception is Saturday, June 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. Dr. Aaron Rosen, founding director of the not-for-profit Parsonage Gallery, served as juror for the open call. Rosen’s juror’s statement noted the sheer variety of submissions and the many ways artists identify, conjure and respond to “cosmic things.” Some, moved “to see a world in a grain of sand,” found inspiration in everyday objects, especially those in nature. Others looked to the firmament, depicting celestial bodies, while still others embraced abstraction – whether through mystic, puls-

Maine Committee Advances Bill to Curb Private Equity Ownership of Hospitals STATEWIDE In a unanimous vote on May 22, the Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services Committee took a first step toward limiting private equity ownership of Maine hospitals. The commit tee voted “Ought to Pass” on an amended version of LD 985, “An Act to Impose a Moratorium on the Ownership or Operation of Hospitals in the State by Private Equity Companies or Real Estate Investment Trusts.” The vote comes amid ongoing hospital closures and as other states take steps to address similar concerns. Maine AllCare, a statewide nonprofit think tank and long-time advocate for universal health care, has played a leading role in proposing measures to prevent private equity acquisitions of hospitals. Dr. Geoff Gratwick, a former
state senator and former board member of Maine AllCare, established a working group within the organization to study this issue. State Sen. Mike Tipping, D-Penobscot, partnered with Maine AllCare to introduce the bill developed by the group. “Hospitals are a public good, and a foundation of the health of our state. Maine AllCare urges the members of the legislature to vote to pass this critical first step in protecting our hospitals,” said Dr. Julie Pease, Maine AllCare board chair. The bill originally proposed a five-year moratorium but was amended to a one-year pause following testimony from Jeffrey Austin, Vice President of Government Affairs and Communications at the Maine Hospital Association. Austin testified neither for nor against the bill during a public hearing on May 6. The measure is spon-

sored by Tipping and cosponsored by Rep. Dan Shagoury, D-Hallowell; Sen. Rick Bennett, R-Oxford; and House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross, D-Portland. Some lawmakers and advocates question whether one year provides enough time to develop long-term protections against potential risks from private equity ownership in healthcare. The issue has gained attention following the closure of a hospital in Waterville after 80 years of operation, which affected local health care access and services for nearby communities, including Colby College students. Additional strain on the health care system is expected following the recent passage of the U.S. House budget, which has not yet become law. The proposal is projected to remove coverage for 38,000 Mainers currently enrolled in MaineCare, the state’s Medicaid program, and could result in $132 million in uncompensated care costs for hospitals, according to budget analysts. “As hospitals across our state grapple with financial pressures, they may be tempted
by outside buyers promising fast relief. But not all lifelines come without strings. Private equity firms and real estate investment trusts – entities with no medical expertise or community accountability – are cutting services, raising costs, and extracting profit,” Bennett testified. The extent of private equity involvement in Maine’s health care system remains largely unexamined, but according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, 12% of Maine’s nursing homes are operated by private equity firms. Over the past decade, more than 50 nursing homes across the state have closed, even as Maine’s elderly population continues to grow. Maine nursing home operators recently requested $10 million in funding from the legislature’s Appropriations Committee. The funding was included in the governor’s original budget proposal but was later removed. Representatives from Genesis HealthCare and Sandy River Company, both affiliated with private equity firms or real estate investment trusts, testified in support of the appropriation.
The nonprofit investigative newsroom ProPublica has reported numerous complaints against Maine nursing homes, including concerns about staffing, patient care and safety. At the same time, InterMed has announced a partnership with a real estate firm to develop a new medical center, and proposed federal budget changes could reduce funding for Medicaid and Medicare. With the advancement of LD 985, Maine joins a growing movement across the country of states seeking to address the impact of private equity ownership of hospitals and health care infrastructure. Thirteen state legislatures introduced 26 bills this legislative session. In June 2024, 11 attorneys general called for additional protections and oversight of private equity transactions at the federal level. “Health care consolidation, which is often driven by private equity, can lead to higher prices for health care services while quality of care worsens or remains stagnant,” said Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul.

~ News ~ June is National Pollinator Month NATIONWIDE As National Pollinator Month unfolds in June, the public is encouraged to support vital pollinator populations – birds, bees, butterflies, and bats – in family yards, parks, community gardens, greenways, municipal golf courses, and other community green spaces.
These living landscapes provide essential shelter and food for important pollinators. “Pollinators are the unsung heroes of the natural world, and are essential in growing fruits, vegetables, and f lowers,” says Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the Turf Mutt Foundation, which advocates for the care
and use of managed green space. “By creating and maintaining healthy green spaces in our communities and backyards, we can directly support their survival and contribute to a healthier planet.” A recent survey conducted by global market research and consulting f irm The Harris Poll revealed that connecting with nature (60%) and observ-
Weekly Recipe: Sliced Steak and Arugula Salad A great Father’s Day treat for dad!
Ingredients: 1 lb. Boneless NY strip or rib eye steak, (1-1.5 in. thick) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 Cups arugula Extra virgin olive oil Piece of Parmesan cheese 2 Sprigs of fresh rosemary Balsamic vinegar For the Panzenella (traditional Tuscan bread salad): Day-old or toasted bread, cubed Tomatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces Cucumbers, chopped into bite-sized pieces Onions, Thinly sliced into half-moons or rings Basil Olive oil
Directions: Bring the steak come to room temperature, 30 - 45 minutes before cooking. Heat a heavy cast iron or steel skillet over high heat for 5 minutes until it begins to smoke. Season steak with salt and pepper. Using tongs of a chef’s fork, hold steak upright in pan to sear fat along edges for a minute or two. Lower steak into pan. Reduce heat to medium high, cook 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare, longer to taste. Remove steak from the pan and place on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes. While steak is resting, place arugula on a serving platter. Season lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper. Shave parmesan cheese over arugula. Slice meat against the grain into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Transfer
ing wildlife (51%) are among the most enjoyed activities in public green spaces like parks, underscoring the shared value these areas provide for people, pets and pollinators. There are several ways to tap into the power of green space to support pollinators. First, prioritize plants suited to the local climate – native plant, tree and shrub species are more beneficial to pollinators than invasive species, which can disrupt the ecosystem. For example, milkweed is especially valuable to monarch butterflies and is a great addition to any public green space. Additionally, planting a variety
of nectar-rich flowering plants and shrubs that bloom at different times throughout the year ensures continuous support for pollinators. It is also important to empower young pollinator advocates by encouraging programs that engage children as pollinator champions. Educational lesson plans and activities can help st udents design green spaces where pollinators thrive. Finally, fostering stewardship through volunteer opportunities and pollinator-focused events helps protect parks, community See JUNE on page 30 . . .

. . . EQUITY from page 18 joined in sending the comment letter by the attorneys general of California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington. Severa l st udies have found that private equity management of hospitals is associated with declines in patient care and financial stability. On average, hospital assets declined by 24% following private equity acquisition. Private equity-backed companies accounted for seven of the eight largest health care bankruptcies in 2024. In January 2025, a bipartisan report from the U.S. Senate Budget Committee highlighted findings that private equity ownership of hospitals may harm patients, degrade care and contribute to hospital closures. Maine’s LD 985 represents a legislative effort to ad-
dress concerns about private equity’s impact on the state’s health care system. As the debate continues, lawmakers and advocates alike are watching closely to see how these measures might influence the future of hospital care in Maine. To access the full bill, visit www.tinyurl.com/LD985Maine.
Freedom Act of 2025. The bipartisan bill would remove restrictions preventing Reservists and National Guardsmen who are federal employees from enrolling in TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) health insurance for themselves and their families. Today, more than 113,000 members of the Selected Reserve and National Guard also work as federal employees, including 67,000 dual-status technicians who are barred from enrolling in TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) due to their eligibil-
ity for the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP). Although the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act lifted this restriction starting in 2030, thousands remain without access to the more affordable TRS option. The Servicemember Healthcare Freedom Act of 2025 moves that date to 2026, offering immediate relief and potential savings of about $400 per month for a typical family of four. “I’m fighting in Congress to make life better for hardworking people, and our women and
men in uniform are among America’s hardest-working people. This bipartisan bill is a commonsense fix that will do a lot for the common good by expanding healthcare access and choice for National Guardsmen and Reservists who play a critical role in the security of our state and our nation,” said Goodlander. “I’m proud to be working with Congresswoman Kiggans to expand access to affordable healthcare and strengthen our military readiness.” For more information, v i sit w w w.con g r e ss.gov/ bill/118th-congress/senatebill/4116.

FINANCE & CAREER Legislators Push Measures to Protect Mobile Home Communities to highlight the votes and discuss additional pending legislation addressing the growing trend of out-of-state private equity firms acquiring mobile home parks. LD 1145, “An Act to Protect Residents Living in Mobile Home Parks,” sponsored by Sen. Tim Nangle, D-Windham, would give resident cooperatives a right of first refusal to match a third-party offer to purchase the
AUGUSTA The Maine Senate recently cast initial votes in favor of two bills aimed at helping residents of mobile home communities purchase their parks, preserving what many consider one of the state’s most affordable housing options. Residents and lawmakers held a press conference at the State House

park they live in. The measure is intended to help residents maintain control over future housing costs while ensuring that property owners receive full market value. The Senate approved the bill in a bipartisan 25-7 vote. “When these communities get bought up by corporate landlords, rents rise,” said Nangle in remarks on the Senate f loor. “Repairs get delayed. Evictions become more common. People who live their lives like any other homeowners suddenly are faced with seemingly insurmountable consequences: They own a structure, but not the ground beneath it. And the ground is shifting under their feet. [LD 1145] says: if the residents want to own their community – and they have the means to do so – we ought to let them.” LD 1016, sponsored by Cameron Reny, D -Br istol,
would create a per-lot transfer fee on the purchase of mobile home parks which applies only to purchasing entities with a net worth of more than $50 million, preserving the ability of local for-profit, non-profit and resident co-ops to buy and sell parks as they have for decades. Revenues from the transfer fee paid by equity firms and other high-end investor entities would go to a permanent Mobile Home Park Preservation Fund to support residents at risk of displacement. “This bill helps protect affordable housing at a time when we need it most,” said Reny in remarks on the Senate floor. “It’s time to ... make sure our older Mainers, young families, veterans, and more, can afford to stay in their homes.” Both bills have received strong support from the Gover-
nor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future (GOPIF). “Mobile home parks are an essential source of affordable housing in our state, providing homes to 45,000 Maine people,” said Greg Payne, senior housing adviSee MOBILE on page 27 . . .
