Maine DOER Releases Updated Winter Heating Guide STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Energy Resources (DOER) has released its 2026-27 Winter Heating Guide to help Maine residents lower their energy bills while staying safe and comfortable this winter. “Maine’s reliance on imported heating fuels means our households remain exposed to volatility in global oil markets, putting added pressure on families as we head into winter with record high prices,” said Celina Cunningham, acting commissioner of DOER. DOER also released its latest weekly survey of Maine heating fuel prices. The survey found that the average statewide price of heating oil was $5.96 per gallon as of Sept. 28, an increase of approximately 80% from the same time last year. Heating oil prices in Maine recently reached a record high of $6.02 per gallon, surpassing the previous record set in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. At current prices, filling a standard 275-gallon oil tank to capacity costs approximately $725 more than it did one year ago. The updated Winter Heating Guide includes home heating and weatherization tips, information on accessing energy assistance programs, links to

online resources—including the latest energy prices—and other resources for Maine residents. It also summarizes energy efficiency and home heating programs offered through MaineHousing, Efficiency Maine, Community Action Agencies, and other partners. “MaineHousing and our community action agency partners are ready to help as winter approaches and energy prices rise,” said MaineHousing Director Dan Brennan. “HEAP [Home Energy Assistance Program] has been accepting applications since August. If you are concerned about heating costs, apply now through our website or contact your local community action agency. If you do not qualify, ask your fuel vendor about a payment plan.” “A typical Maine home switching from an oil boiler to a heat pump system would save more than $1,450 a year,” said Michael Stoddard, executive director of Efficiency Maine. Maine consumes more residential heating oil per capita than any other state and significantly more than other New England states. Approximately 50% of Maine households rely on fuel oil as their primary heating source, down from 70% in 2010. Financial assistance for home heating is available through

Manufactured Housing Community Data Dashboard Launched STATEWIDE The Housing Opportunity Program at the Maine Office of Community Affairs recently launched the Manufactured Housing Community Data Dashboard, which provides information on licensed manufactured housing communities across Maine for residents, policymakHEAP, administered by MaineHousing. The Energy Crisis Intervention Program, which assists low-income households facing an immediate energy-related crisis, will open Nov. 1. The program may provide a one-time payment to a fuel vendor to help HEAPeligible households facing a heating emergency. At current prices, switching from oil or kerosene to energyefficient heat pumps can save Maine households thousands of dollars annually in heating costs. Residents can explore available home energy efficiency incentives through Efficiency Maine. For more information and to download a PDF copy of the guide, visit www.maine.gov/ energy/winter-heating-resources.

ers, park owners, and housing professionals. The data were collected during the 2025-2026 manufactured housing community licensing and renewal process. MOCA will update and publish the data annually as part of that process, allowing residents, policymakers, park owners, and other interested parties to track annual increases in the number of lots at manufactured housing communities across Maine for the first time. The map allows users to view information about manufactured housing communities and filter results by town, ownership type, number of vacant lots, and elected representatives. Across all 475 licensed communities, there are 2,383 unoccupied lots. 59 of the 475 licensed communities have 10 or more unoccupied lots. These lots represent opportunities for infill development. Of the 475 communities, 14 are resident-owned communities, which means they are owned and managed by the residents through a cooperative or similar ownership structure, while non-

resident-owned communities are owned by an individual, company, or other organization. Average lot rent varies from community to community and in different regions of the state. Waldo, Sagadahoc, Hancock, and York counties have the highest average lot rents, with lower rents on average in Washington, Piscataquis, and Somerset counties. “This tool is designed to support safe, well-managed manufactured housing communities, show local housing conditions in different parts of the state, and See DASH on page 30...

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLS Timing is everything. Normally on a warm and sunny fall day, the cats living at Safe Haven’s at Cattail Farm would be on the front porch soaking in the warmth of the sunshine. But last Saturday was different. Due to an adoption in process, the cats weren’t out but in the living room, lounging in the bay window.

Out of nowhere there was what felt like an explosion. It actually shook the entire barn and shop, which is attached to the farmhouse. A three-car crash disrupted the peaceful atmosphere. The porch was damaged when a truck struck it, separating the wall from its foundation. Fortunately, volunteers Beth and Paul were showing cats in the living room, and rushed them to a safer location. Outside, volunteers and shoppers assisted victims and comforted one another. The Town of Wells responded quickly and efficiently, sending paramedics, ambulance, firetruck,

SANFORD Another Chance Animal Rescue would like to introduce JoJo and Joey, this week’s bonded pair who are up for adoption. Little JoJo is a sweet tuxedo girl who wants to be to be part of the family. She is soft and wants to be loved and played with. Joey is also a tuxedo with white whiskers and a handsome white bib to match. He loves JoJo, lick sticks, and a good game of “chase the wand.” These two teenagers will fill any home with humor and love. Contact Paula at 978-2501560 for more information, or visit both cats at the Petsmart Adoption Center in Biddeford. ACAR needs foster homes

for young and older cats. Can you help? It makes a huge difference to the well-being of ACAR’s cats to have an opportunity to live in a home instead of a cage while they wait to be adopted. ACAR can place cats in homes for short- or long-term stays, where they can receive love and socialization until they are adopted. For more information, call 978-250-1569. Thank you!

wreckers, and managers to the scene. Safe Haven is thankful that there were no fatalities, and will be forever grateful to the town for responding so quickly. There is structural damage to the porch, the living room bay window wall, and various other places. What concerns Safe Haven most is how the damage will make it difficult to continue accepting at-risk cats until the shelter location is fully repaired.

Caleb’s Opus YORK Sometimes, the most unexpected places become the beginning of something wonderful. For Glock, that place happened to be a county prison, where second chances aren’t just for people—they’re for dogs, too! Glock is an adorable, approx i m ately 18 -mont h- old Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix with quite a story, and Caleb’s Opus is hoping his next chapter will be his very best one yet. Glock originally went to

KENNEBUNK Dear future family, I’m Legacy, and right now I’m spending my days at the Kennebunk Free Library. There are plenty of things I enjoy there: windows, bugs to monitor, cozy nap spots, and lots of visitors. But my favorite part? The kids. I really, really like kids. Kids are my people! When they come by to visit, I’m interested. I’m curious. I want to know what they’re doing and I want to be part of the action. There’s something about their energy that just works for me. I may not always want to be scooped up or immediately petted by everyone I meet, but I genuinely enjoy being around kids and sharing space with them. My mornings usually begin with bug patrol at the window. The fact that there’s glass between me and the bugs is, frankly, irrelevant. After that, I may squeeze in a nap before getting back to the important work of a home where, sadly, he wasn’t receiving the care he deserved. Thankfully, the local sheriff stepped in and recognized that Glock needed a better living situation. That intervention led him to a unique temporary home—a county prison with a program designed to help dogs in need while giving inmates an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive difference. Through this special program, dogs like Glock live alongside participating inmates, who help care for them, spend time with them, and work on their

The dogs gain companionship, a consistent schedule, and valuable human interaction, while the inmates develop patience, compassion, responsibility, and skills that can carry into the future. It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes helping another living being can heal two lives at once. Despite h is less-t ha nperfect beginning, Glock is described as a friendly, affectionate little fellow who seems to love everyone he meets. He’s had the opportunity to spend time with people through the prison program, and his outgoing, lovable personality continues to shine. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and will arrive in York on Saturday, Oct. 24. Glock has not yet been around children, but Caleb’s Opus hopes to arrange an introduction to learn how he interacts with younger family members. Glock may have started in a home that didn’t give him everything he needed, but his past doesn’t have to determine his future. He’s already been given one important second chance by the people who stepped up to help him. Now he needs someone to give him the one thing he doesn’t have yet - a family and a forever home of his very own.

Town(s) Requests: • LD 82

An Act To Amend the Laws Governing County Jail Budgeting for York County

• LD 147

Resolve, To Provide $1,000,000 to the Fund for the Efficient Delivery of Local and Regional Services

Our towns and counties are always trying to improve services and need sponsors and managers. I became a champion for Chebeague Island simply because I had experience when Ogunquit hired me as it separated from Wells in 1979-80, and I played a major role in providing the island’s steering group with templates and project lists as they successfully navigated their new future in 2006.

Town/Agency Requests Regarding Overhaul/Retention of State Planning Office: • LD 1458 An Act To Transfer Recycling, Technical Assistance and Solid Waste Policy Responsibilities from the State Planning Office to the Department of Environmental Protection • LD 789

An Act To Eliminate the Governor’s Office of Energy Independence and Security

• LD 1128 An Act To Modify the Requirements for Code Enforcement Training • LD 769

An Act To Review the Functions of the State Planning Office

I anticipated the effort to eliminate the Maine State Planning Office in 2011 and sponsored bills to retain, modify, and reform a “Mother Hubbard” agency with many parts, and successfully addressed challenges – however, we could not save this agency despite a lot of effort from stakeholders. I played a significant role in retaining planners now in the conservation department where they provide do-it-yourself data and other resources which planning boards can use in their comprehensive planning.

Advocacy Group and Other Organization Requests: • LD 673

An Act To Expand Fiscally Responsible Transportation through Increased ZOOM Bus Service

• LD 1332 An Act To Amend the Maine Condominium Act • LD 1221 An Act to Encourage Prompt Payments by the State when It Contracts with Outside Agencies • LD 380

An Act To Enhance Enforcement of Civil Orders of Arrest

• LD 665

An Act To Limit Claims of Exempt Property

• LD 1120 An Act To Move the Land for Maine’s Future Program to the Department of Agriculture • LD 1021 An Act To Transfer Jurisdiction of Traffic Adjudication • LD 1550 An Act to Change Document Filing Fees for County Registries of Deeds

My opponent has referred to unnamed organizations and nondescript program improvements in the energy sector. Worse, few, if any involve interaction with consumers and people. I have job experience and training in many sectors and involvement with people going back to my being a paper carrier at age 11. My opponent’s bills dictate or limit actions by organizations and people. Please take time to compare our records as you choose your next state representative. The reader may find his information on the Maine.gov web site and mine from the 125th Legislature. Before voting for your next representative, please use this and my other ads, along with information on my Facebook page, to compare me with what my opponent has offered in his social media.

Information on some bills that I voted or worked on with a description of my work can be seen on my Facebook page (Brad Moulton). These represent a greater percentage of my legislative work.

Gary Phipps, 72 YORK – Gary Phipps of York passed away on Monday, October 5, 2026, surrounded by his children. The son of Albert Phipps and Helen (Coates) Phipps, Gary grew up in Dover, NH. He attended Plymouth State University and enjoyed a full career with the York School Department as a

high school art teacher. From his earliest days, Gary loved to be outdoors, whether on the water or skiing in the mountains. He and his family spent countless summer days on Maine and New Hampshire lakes and on Peaks Island in Casco Bay. Ga r y wa s profou nd ly committed to his students, his lifelong career at York High School, and his love of art. He celebrated his students’ individuality and uniqueness, and saw the best in everyone. Over four decades at York High School, Mr. Phipps (“Phippsy”) was a bright spot and fierce champion for countless students. He was never afraid to swim upstream and fight for what he believed his students and fellow faculty members needed. His genuine, kind spirit and true authenticity allowed students to show up as and who they were. He was a beacon to all, but certainly to those who needed one most. To Dick, Jane, and Sally: Gary’s family hopes you know you were his three favorite students. Gar y deeply loved his family and friends. He could— and would—talk to anyone. He listened better than most and would happily give advice whether or not it was asked for. Gary worked tirelessly in the community with numerous creative and artistic endeavors. From after school and summer art programs in his backyard to hosting Ghostly Tours and working with the York Rec Department, he carried his love of art, teaching, and storytelling everywhere he went. He was predeceased by his parents; his sister, Cheryl (Phipps) Burrows; his brother, Terry Phipps; and his beloved dog, Shadow. Gary is survived by his sister, Sandie Phipps and her husband, Brian Donovan; his children, Jonathan Phipps and his wife, Alisha (Lewis) Phipps, Erica (Phipps) Mirick, and Gregory Phipps and his wife, Ashley (Brown) Phipps; and his six grandchildren: Henry and Winsor Mirick, Sawyer, Hartley, Bradley, and Mason Phipps.

He is also survived by his former wife, Carol (Kenney) Phipps and former son-in-law, Jeremy Mirick; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and countless close friends whom he loved dearly. Gary was one-of-a-kind. He inspired so many others to be as well. A Celebration of Life will take place at Foster’s Clambakes and Catering, 5 Axholme Road, York, on Sunday, November 1, from 2 to 6 p.m. All are welcome to come celebrate and share stories. In lieu of f lowers, please consider a donation in Gary’s honor to The York Art Association, www.yorkart.org/donate; or to the York Education Foundation, www.yorkeducationfoundation.org/get-involved/ donate. Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home in York is assisting with arrangements (www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com).

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Second Annual Glass Beach Plum Hunt OGUNQUIT Nature lovers and treasure hunters of all ages are invited to explore Ogunquit’s scenic trails during a three-day event Friday, Oct. 23 through Sunday, Oct. 25. Participants will search for one of 40 elusive, glass-blown beach plums hidden at three Great Works Regional Land Trust properties: Beach Plum Farm Preserve, 610 Main St.; Payeur Preserve, Spring Hill Road; and Old Boston Preserve, North Village Road, all in Ogunquit. The hunt promises fun for the whole family. The trails will be open from 8 a.m. until dusk each day, and beach plums will be hidden at random throughout the weekend to help ensure they remain available. Participants may keep only one glass beach plum per household during the event.

The glass beach plums are roughly the size of a golf ball, come in a variety of colors, and will be numbered and tagged with instructions for registering each find. Participants must be 21 or older to qualify for the grand prize, which may include a gift basket featuring products and experiences from local businesses. Plums will never be hidden more than 2 feet off any trail but may be placed up to 4 feet high. Participants are encouraged to stay on the trails, respect local wildlife and plant life, and follow Leave No Trace principles. Discoveries can be shared on social media using the hashtag #BeachPlumPursuit and tagging @ GWRLT on Facebook or Instagram. Beach plums are small, hardy shrubs native to the North

Atlantic coast and prized for their tart fruit. They thrive in sandy soils and coastal environments,

making them an important part of Maine’s natural heritage. Beach Plum Farm in Ogunquit is one of the few places in the state where beach plums can still be

found, offering an opportunity to explore the region’s native plant life while enjoying the outdoors. For more information, visit www.gwrlt.org/event/bpp26.

‘Edgar Allan Poe: ASYLUM’ at Clay Hill Farm

CAPE NEDDICK An elegant autumn dinner takes an unsettling turn as Clay Hill Farm presents “Edgar Allan Poe: ASYLUM,” an immersive theatrical dining experience that brings the author’s tales of obsession, madness, and melancholy directly to the table. Opening Wednesday, Oct. 21, the production runs for eight performances

on select dates through Nov. 8. Set within the imagined world of an unhinged Victorian estate, “Edgar Allan Poe: ASYLUM” draws inspiration from Poe’s darkly comic short story, “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.” The evening’s host, the charismatic and deeply eccentric Monsieur Maillard, welcomes diners to a

feast where appearances grow increasingly deceptive and the boundaries between sanity and delusion begin to dissolve. As guests enjoy a multicourse dinner, the performance unfolds around them, with Poe’s prose delivered tableside between courses. The creeping horror of “Berenice” gives way to the frantic paranoia of “The Tell-Tale

•Cabinetry •Remodels •Additions

Heart” and the haunting grief of “The Raven.” Candlelight, an eerie estate staff, unsettling props, and unexpected moments turn Clay Hill Farms’ intimate dining room into a setting for classic gothic suspense. The production marks actor Kirk Simpson’s 15th year performing as Poe at Clay Hill Farm. Combining dramatic storytelling with the immediacy of intimate theater, Simpson invites audiences into Poe’s world for an evening that is by turns darkly humorous, unnerving, and poignant. G u e s t s a r e welc ome, though not required, to wear Victorian Gothic attire and become part of the evening’s atmosphere. “Ed ga r A l le n Poe: ASYLUM” is recommended for ages 13 and older due to dark themes and grisly subject matter.

Seating is limited to preserve the production’s intimate parlor atmosphere, and reservations are required. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. For more information and to RSVP, visit www.clayhillfarm.com, or call 207-361-2272.

WELLS Wells Junior High School will present its fall play, “Hot Lunch,” with performances Thursday, Oct. 22, at 4 p.m.; Friday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 24, at 11 a.m. Allison Le is directing the production. The play takes place in a junior high school cafeteria and features a fast-paced series of vignettes. Some feature a student trying to eat while wearing a horse mask, students discussing what “mystery meat” is, a

race for the last chicken nugget, an encounter with the underthe-table dessert salesman, and students daring each other to eat something gross. Most of all, this flexible series of vignettes turns the cafeteria into a place for comedy that will have any audience coming back for more. A ll performances take place at the Wells Junior High School gymnasium at 1470 Post Road. Admission is $5, payable at the door. For more information, call 207-646-5142.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Irish Masters Meet Up for East Coast Tour KITTERY The Strayaways, featuring three generations of Irish music greats—Kevin Burke, Eamon O’Leary and Dylan Foley— will embark on their first tour together. Fiddle players Burke and Foley, both rooted in the Sligo tradition, will be joined by O’Leary on guitar, bouzouki, and vocals for performances at East Coast venues from Boston to Baltimore. The trio will perform in Kittery at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23, at The Dance Hall, 7 Walker St. The concert will be their only Maine performance. London-born and Sligobred, Burke is a legend in traditional Irish music.

A recipient of an NEA National Heritage Fellowship, Burke’s technical virtuosity is matched by soulful musicality and a deep knowledge of the Irish repertoire. O’Leary, a Dublin expat living in New York City, is a

gifted singer, songwriter and musician. His virtuosity on bouzouki and guitar has been described as “sumptuous” by The Guardian. O’Leary has been part of several celebrated partnerships, including The Alt with John Doyle and Nuala Kennedy, The Murphy Beds with Jefferson Hamer, and a collaboration with fiddler Patrick Ourceau. Foley is one of many younger musicians inspired by Burke. Raised in the Catskills, Foley has been called “one of the finest fiddlers in America” by The Irish Echo. A four-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion, he has worked with the late Mick Moloney, Kevin Crawford of Lúnasa and The Yanks. W hen these three join forces, audiences can expect musical fireworks, humor, and stories, and the best that the Irish tradition contains.

York County Audubon to Host Brewster Journal Readings

WELLS Bird watcher and sound artist Dianne Ballon has long wanted to present “An Evening with William Brewster,” ever since discovering a copy of “Concord River: Selections from the Journals of William

Brewster” (Harvard University Press, 1937). William Brewster (18511919) was a renowned naturalist, conser vationist, and ornithologist. He worked as a curator at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology and

donated a lifetime of bird observations to Harvard. He cofounded the American Ornithologists’ Union and the Nuttall Ornithological Club and served as the first president of Mass Audubon. Brewster’s collection of diaries, journals, correspondence, and photographs is a trove of valuable scientific data and a detailed account of his years exploring the woods, fields, rivers, and lakes of New England.

20, in Mather Auditorium at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm, 342 Laudholm Farm Road in Wells. Free parking is available, with the entrance to the parking area off Skinner Mill Road. The program is free and open to all ages, and no registration is required to attend in person. The event also will be livestreamed via Zoom. Advance registration is required to participate online. To register, visit www.yorkcountyaudubon. org and click on the registration link in the event listing. Participants will receive a confirmation email with instructions for joining the meeting.

T he Wel ls Reser ve at Laudholm will host an evening of readings from William Brewster’s late 19th-century bird observations along the Concord River. The program will feature two Harvard archivists from the Ernst Mayr Library at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, who continue to work with the Brewster collection, and the executive director of the Museums of the Bethel Historical Society, who will discuss Brewster’s connection to Maine. The program will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.

~ Sports & Outdoors ~ BA Girls Varsity Soccer NORTH BERWICK On Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Bulldogs suffered their first loss of the season against the Dana Hall Dragons. Despite the 1-0 defeat, the Bulldogs fought hard throughout the match. Ten minutes into the match, the Dragons scored on a closerange shot following a brief scramble in the box. Two minutes later, the Bulldogs created their first scoring opportunity when Griffin Demers sent a solid cross to Sophia DeSimone, who headed the ball just wide of the net. The Bulldogs had a few more chances throughout the game, such as in the 32nd minute when Carly Shumway carried the ball, beat a few Dana defenders and took a strong shot but the Dana goalie stopped it. Shumway persisted with a few more shots on goal throughout the game. The Bulldogs played a strong defensive game, keeping the Dragons from scoring more than one goal. Seniors Liv Pate and Emma Rich saved the team several times with their strong and consistent defensive play. The whole team played with energy. With 5 minutes on the clock, goalkeeper Charlotte Loughlin made a great save, diving and smothering the ball. Goalkeeping Statistics: Julia Brennan, 40 mins.; Charlotte Loughlin, 40 mins. On Friday, Oct. 9, the Berwick Bulldogs took on the Huskies from Gould Academy and beat them 4-0 at home.

Junior Stella Spencer added the game-winning goal off a corner tip into the top left corner of the cage, with an assist by senior Frankie Cormier McFarlane. Maybelle Hopkins gave Berwick the comfort goal with a quick shot from just off the baseline to make it 3-1.

no place to put them—the shelter is filled to capacity. Safe Haven is devising a plan as the shelter moves forward with restoration efforte. This week’s featured cat is Haru, a beautiful 4-year-old who arrived at the shelter in August. Her past is one no animal should have to endure. Adopted as a kitten into a home with three young boys, Haru was reportedly treated poorly and tormented. Haru was later passed on to a friend, who then placed her with her mother. Things initially went well, but when a grandson came to visit, Haru chased him and growled, frightening him. As a result, Haru ended up at Safe Haven. Haru still harbors fears and prefers to be the only cat in the home. This lovely survivor likes people and would do best in a quiet home with no children or other pets. She deserves someone who understands that her fears sometimes resurface in the form of a swat of her paw. She is letting them know that she is still afraid and feels the need to protect herself. Haru is lovely and deserves the most loving home. Please contact Safe Haven to arrange fro a meet-and-greet.

Maine Leaders Launch Age-Positive Public Health Movement BRUNSWICK T he M a i ne Cou nc i l on Aging and Maine Public Health Association recently announced the launch of an Age-Positive Public Health movement aimed at making Maine a place where longer lives are healthier lives. Announced at the organizations’ back-to-back annual conferences in Brunswick, the

partnership brings aging and public health leaders together around a simple idea: Mainers are living longer, and more attention is needed to help people live those additional years in good health. “Longer lives are an incredible opportunity, but only if we are as focused on healthspan as we are on lifespan,” said Jess Maurer, executive director

of Maine Council on Aging. “Ageism gets in the way. It limits what we believe is possible as we age and influences the systems we build. We want Maine to plan for healthier, longer lives and build the systems and communities that make them possible.” How Mainers age is shaped over a lifetime by access to health care, nutritious food and safe housing; opportunities for connection and purpose; where they live and work; and the advantages and disadvantages they experience along the way. Aging is also shaped by what people believe about it. Ageism—negative beliefs and stereotypes about aging— can influence health and behavior, as well as decisions made in health care, workplaces, communities, and public policy.

Research also indicates that positive beliefs about aging are associated with better health and longer lives. “In listening sessions we held across the state, we heard from people who want to age well in their communities, stay connected with their neighbors, and live safely in their homes. We are excited about this new partnership because it’s about figuring out how to help more Mainers live long and healthful lives,” said Rebecca Boulos, executive director of Maine Public Health Association. The Age-Positive Public Health movement will build on existing infrastructure and focus on three areas: using data to understand healthy aging and identify gaps; applying an agepositive lens to current public health priorities, policies and programs; and creating opportunities for public health professionals to learn about ageism, longevity and healthy aging. The Maine Council on Aging is a multidisciplinary network of more than 140 organiza-

tions, businesses, municipalities, and older Mainers working to help people live healthy, engaged, and secure lives at home and in their communities. MCOA brings together partners across sectors to reshape perceptions of aging and build local, statewide, and national support for systemic changes that help people thrive as they live longer. For more information: w w w.mainecouncilonaging.org. The Maine Public Health Association represents more than 1,000 individual members and 80 organizational me m b e r s a c r o s s M a i ne.

After registering, participants will receive an adventure request form to select their preferred adventure setting and party dynamic. Both new and veteran players are welcome. Participants will play where history—and now, mystery—was made. To keep spirits high while confronting the tavern’s haunts,

participants are encouraged to bring their own drinks and food. Attendees may bring their favorite “potions” (beverages of choice) and “rations” (snacks or meals) to enjoy alongside their undead hosts throughout the evening. This BYOB event is restricted to participants ages 21 and older. Created by Will Ethridge, an educator, Old York guide and lifelong gamer, A Game of Dice and Fire fosters community

through tabletop role-playing, a collaborative form of storytelling in which players navigate a fantasy world through imagination and dice rolls. Through partnerships with Old York Historical Society, the series brings tabletop adventures to historic landmarks, creating a distinctive setting for creativity and camaraderie.

...AWS from page 6 know someone. That’s where my emotional support wand toy comes in. Dangle it nearby and I’ll come running over to rub against it, purr, and show you just how social I can be. And the more time I spend with you, the more likely I am to start rubbing against your legs and seeking you out on my own. I’m curious, social, playful, and happiest when I can be part

of what’s going on—especially if there are kids involved. I’m looking for a family that understands I need to build trust at my own pace, but also sees how much I enjoy connection, company, and being included. If your home has kids, and room for one very charming library cat, I think we should meet. Come visit me at the Kennebunk Free Library. Maybe I’m the next chapter your family has been waiting for.

...DASH from page 5 encourage expansion of affordable housing opportunities in manufactured home communities,” said Housing Opportunity Program Director Hilary Gove This is one of many resources HOP will develop in support of the Manufactured Housing Program, which officially joined MOCA in July 2026. According to 2024 data from the American Community Survey, nearly 10% of Mainers live in manufactured housing communities. As part of its efforts to address the housing shortage in Maine, the Mills Administration has prioritized efforts to increase manufacturing housing infill and help keep residents of manufactured housing communities in their homes. In 2023, Mills signed a landmark “Opportunity to Purchase” law, requiring owners of manufactured housing communities to consider a good faith offer from park residents if they intend to sell. Last year, the Governor signed a law that gives residents the right to match a third-party offer to purchase the communities that they live in. For more information, visit arcg.is/1nezGL1.

FRANKS FORT ISLAND, ELIOT

$250,000

Frank's Fort Island is a private, wooded islet in southern Maine’s historic Piscataqua River. The site’s deep legacy dates to December 1774, when patriots hid stolen gunpowder here before the Battle of Bunker Hill. The island offers unmatched privacy and serenity—while still within easy boating distance to Kittery, Portsmouth, and the open Atlantic. While currently undeveloped, the island holds potential for a seasonal retreat, artist's studio, eco-cabin, or minimalist getaway. Buyers are encouraged to consult with engineers and local officials to explore possibilities for a dock, mooring, or off-grid structure. Development will require thoughtful planning and stewardship, but the potential reward--a private, historically rich escape in coastal Maine--is extraordinary. ASK ABI 207.252.1944
