School Project Includes Visit From Retired Baseball Great WELLS – Sometimes, thanks to hard work and unexpected good luck, a school assignment can exceed all the expectations of a teacher or, to use a baseball metaphor, hit a home run. Such was the case with Wells Junior High School eighth grade student Karissa Kenyon when, to the delight of her and surprise of fellow classmates and school staff, retired Red Sox pitcher Luis Tiant accepted her invitation to be a guest speaker at WJHS and a part of her Social Studies project. This fall, one of Kenyon’s

teachers, Matt Coleman, assigned his class to examine the subject of immigration. For this assignment, Coleman asked stu-

dents to select different angles to approach this often polarizing subject. Kenyon decided to research

the impact that immigration has had on baseball over the years. To do this, she examined the career of pitcher Luis Tiant and his journey from being a Cuban ballplayer in Castro’s Cuba to becoming an American playing in the Major Leagues. As luck would have it, Kenyon’s dad had a chance encounter with Tiant at a local convenience store in Wells. The two talked about Karissa’s project and Tiant agreed to a telephone interview with her. Next Tiant accepted an invitation from Kenyon to visit Coleman’s class and speak about

immigration. Coleman found that the soft-spoken Tiant was a “great speaker� who offered many anecdotes. “He had so many positive things to say, really good stuff,� she said. Tiant also visited Anne Gallo’s classroom to interact with students. Gallo, a big Red Sox fan and teaching teammate of Coleman, helped bring students up to speed about Tiant’s baseball career and legacy by using clippings and photos to See BASEBALL page 4...

Wells and Ogunquit Chambers Give High Fives for Santa SANFORD – It was PJ Day on December 17, and just as the North Pole is at its busiest, Santa took the time to visit the children at WABAN’s Fraser-Ford Child Development Center. Escorted by his helpers from the Wells and Ogunquit Chambers of Commerce, Santa arrived in a festive green trolley with a wave of his gloved hand and a big “Ho, Ho, Ho!�

The children and staff welcomed Santa into a classroom with a cheery Christmas fireplace and a decorated tree and one by one, each child had an opportunity to meet Santa up close. Many had never seen Santa before and were awestruck with his twinkling blue eyes, fur-lined jacket and jingle bell bracelets. They touched the pom-pom on his hat or the holly decoration on its brim, but not a single child pulled on his real beard and curled mustache. Santa said, “The children don’t usually touch my beard. But when I visit retirement homes, the old folks are the ones who pull on my beard!�

Some of the children were able to share their wish for a Christmas gift, while others were happy with a high five from the jolly old elf. He handed each child a wrapped gift provided by the center and his helpers gave each child a stuffed animal, brought to the center by the members of the Chambers. “The Wells and Ogunquit Chambers have been visiting Waban for over twenty years with Santa.

Vickie Stewart, former principal of Central Scout, reminded Hourihan what a good example he was for all the young men who will follow in his footsteps. Malcolme Kenney of VFW #5744 welcomed Hourihan as a new member of the Hundred Dollar Club. Adam Hollick, Scout Master of Troop 338, said, “Scouting will follow you; will be a source of strength you take with you for the rest of your life. Scouting makes you a better man, one willing to give back.â€? Walker invited forward those necessary for the ceremony: Hollick; Jason Mongeon, Troop Committee Chairperson; the color guard; and most importantly, Hourihan and his parents, Susan and Philip Hourihan. Walker said, “Once your are an Eagle Scout your are always so. It comes with obligations that you will live your life at a certain level.â€? Hourihan’s mother pinned the Eagle Badge onto his shirt. Hourihan’s father helped him to put on the neckerchief that identifies an Eagle Scout.â€? Hourihan then gave each of his parents a pin and thanked them for their great support. He also called forward Lenny Andrews, his mentor in the Eagle Scout project and gave coins for their support and guidance to Walker, Hollick, and Alice Willette, who gave special assistance to fundraising for the project. He also recognized his two sisters and his grandmother. Prior to the closing Walker remembered being Hourihan’s first scout master, â€œâ€Ś these scrawny little kids (at the first den meeting) seemed not sure what was going on. But one of them sat up, paid attention, and showed a quiet strength – Hourihan.â€? Walker’s prediction: “We will each of us benefit from Patrick’s contributions to life without knowing it was him working in the background.â€? To Hourihan he said, “You will succeed in your choices.â€? All the Eagle Scouts in the room stood and were applauded. Deacon Normand said the benediction and the colors were retired.

A Storm of Witchcraft: The Salem Trials and the American Experience

YORK – While most of us have a cursory knowledge of the Salem witchcraft trials in the late 1600’s and the persecution of people considered to practice witchcraft, what do we really know of this truly dark period of our Early American History? Today those same people might be considered “new age� practitioners. On January 6 at 7 p.m., York Public Library and Museums of Old York will present Professor Emerson “Tad� Baker. He will discuss his recent book, “A Storm of Witchcraft: The Salem Trials and the American Experience�, which sets the Salem Witch Trials in the broader context of American history from the seventeenth century to the present, and examines their enduring legacy. In 1692 more than 150 people would be accused of witchcraft, and 25 would die in

the Salem witch trials, the largest witchcraft outbreak in American history. In this illustrated talk, Emerson Baker explores the rich catalogue of explanations that have been put forward over the years to solve the mystery of what happened in 1692 but ultimately shows that there was no single factor. Rather, behind the events in Salem and surrounding towns was a unique conver-

gence of conditions, including a new charter and government, a grim and bloody frontier war in Maine, and sectarian and political power-struggles. Indeed, he believes the January 1692 Native American raid on York was a key trigger of the Salem witch hunt. Focusing on the key players in the Salem witchcraft crisis Baker illuminates why the tragedy unfolded as it did. He shows how the Puritan government's attempts to suppress what had taken place only fueled the popular imagination, and established the trials as a turning point from Puritan communalism to Yankee independence. He also sets the trials in the broader context of American history from the 1620s up through the present, and reveals the ways their legacy remains with us. Emerson "Tad" Baker is a professor of History at Salem State University. He is the awardwinning author of many works on the history of early New England. A resident of York, Baker has carried out extensive historical research and archaeological excavations on the early history of York County. He has served as an advisor for PBS-TV’s American Experience and Colonial House, and has also coauthored an iPhone app on the witchcraft crisis. He regularly tweets on the Salem witch trials and early New England history at @EmersonWBaker. The York Public Library is located at 15 Long Sands Road in York.

Ogunquit Performing Arts Features Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express�

OGUNQUIT Sunday, January 11, 2 p.m., at the Dunaway Center, 23 School Street in Ogunquit, the 14th annual Classic Film Series continues with “Murder on the Orient Express,�. The 1974 British mystery film, directed by Sidney Lumet, stars Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot and is based on the 1934 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie. Admission and popcorn are free. Like many of Agatha Christie’s mysteries, Murder on the Orient Express is based on an actual event: The kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. On his way to Istanbul Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is called back to London for a case, and finds transport via the opulent Orient Express train. An ornery American businessman, Samuel Ratchett, interrupts Poirot's luxurious trip with a cryptic plea for help — he's seeking penance, fearing he may be murdered. But Poirot

isn’t interested in taking up his case. When a snowdrift sidelines the train and Ratchett is found dead, Poirot becomes embroiled in one of the most fiendish cases of his career. The suspects are numerous and colorful — an erudite Russian princess, an English colonel, a pushy American matron and a devout Swedish missionary among others. The evidence suggests a shadowy

assassin may have boarded the train during a stop in order to commit the murder, but is there an unforgivable evil even closer at hand? Poirot's suspicions were first aroused by the fact that all the passengers on the train were of so many different nationalities and social classes, and that only in the "melting pot" of the United States would a group of such different people form some connection with each other. But you will have to wait until the end of the film to find which of Poirot’s theories is correct. According to OPA Cochair Janel Lundgren, “Elegant escapist entertainment at its stylishly European best, this Agatha Christie whodunit boasts an incredible international cast of some of the more wonderfully eccentric characters ever created.� Ingrid Berman won an Oscar for her role as the slightly dimSee FILM page 20...

ContraDance practice is underway at The New School in Kennebunk, offered with dinner by the students on January 10.

Benefit ContraDance and Dinner KENNEBUNK ContraDancing is as old as New England, and a Pot Pie Dinner is traditional. Both are offered on January 10 by the students at The New School in Kennebunk. The dinner and Contradance will be held at the Saco Mason’s Lodge on 282 Main St. , Saco, above the Biddeford Savings Bank. Dinner is at 6 p.m. and the Contradance at 7 p.m. Every year, students at The New School engage in adventures for three weeks to stretch their minds, give to others, and try something new to them. They are called Intensive Studies. The Contradance and Dinner is a benefit for two

groups. One group is going to the Marine and Coastal Ecology Center in Puerto Rico to inventory a coral reef for data of importance in understanding Climate Change. They will spend some time at Nuestra Escuela as well, which is a democratic school for children of poverty. The second group is heading for Quebec City and Montreal to learn French and the history and culture of Canada. T-Acadie, a ContraDance group made up of Pam Weeks and Bill Olsen will provide the music, teach dances and welcomes anyone of any skill level See DANCE page 20...

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, I have searched and searched for a driver for my Canon BJC-620 to use with Windows 7. Can you help me or will I have to print from my old computer which runs XP? Thank you! Bonnie Dear Bonnie, I did a quick search on Cannon’s website (www.usa.canon. com/) and found that BJC printers are compatible with earliest versions of Windows, but not compatible with Vista, or Windows 7. Unfortunately, that means there are no drivers in ex-

istence that will work with Windows 7. You will either have to print from your old XP computer, or get a newer printer. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, A friend is using www. stardock.com/products/start8/. Per my friend, it makes the start screen look like Windows 7. They got Windows 8 and then immediately downloaded the above. My question is since I have Windows 8.1 and have installed some programs and downloaded pictures to the computer, will this application/program make it so I have to reinstall programs, printer, scan-

ner, and will I lose my pictures? I previously used Windows Vista and unlike some others I liked it. I haven’t used Windows 7. I read all your emails and am learning a lot. Thanks, Brenda Dear Brenda, The only thing this program will do, is add a start menu so that you can navigate the computer they way you used to in Windows 7. It will not delete pictures or programs that you have installed. Of course, just to be safe, you always want to have your data backed up, and your programs on disk just in case. You never know when something as simple as installing a program or doing an update will corrupt your files, and result in data loss. There is also a free start menu program called Clas-

sic Shell at www.classicshell.net which works quite well. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I used to have an older computer with XP. I now have a new one with Windows 8. Now when I get emails with IMGjpg if it’s a report I am unable to read it. Adobe reader says it cannot open it because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. My email is yahoo.com. Can you help me? Linda Dear Linda, I’m guessing that you are trying to open an image file in Adobe Acrobat reader, which is made to open .PDF files. Adobe document files end in .pdf Image files end in .jpg, .png, and .img, just to name a few. What do you

Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I love reading your newsletter. It Ă­s so full of information. I would like to know how to shorten the URL for webpage links. I know there Ă­s software to do this but not sure how it works and which one is the best one. Thanks for your useful newsletter. Teresa Dear Teresa, It is actually very easy to create a shortened URL and there are a few online services out there that will do it for you. First, copy the URL of the web page you want to link to. Next go to one of the online URL shortening services. I like to use TinyUrl. com, but there are quite a few out there Google has one and Bitly is quite popular.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Ring in the New Year with a COLA

STATEWIDE Happy New Year from Social Security! Put down the champagne and ring in the New Year with a COLA! And we don’t mean the soda. In 2015, nearly 64 million Americans who receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will receive a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase to their monthly benefit payments of 1.7 percent. The average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker in 2015 is $1,328 (up from $1,306 in 2014). The average monthly Social Security benefit for a disabled worker in 2015 is $1,165 (up

from $1,146 in 2014). For people who receive SSI, the maximum federal payment amount increased to $733 (up from $721 in 2014). Other Social Security changes in 2015 are also worth noting. For example, the maxi-

mum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax will increase to $118,500 (up from $117,000 in 2014). A worker will earn one credit toward Social Security coverage after paying taxes on $1,220 in earnings in 2015 (up from

$1,200 in 2014). As a reminder, eligibility for retirement benefits still requires 40 credits (usually about10 years of work). Information about Medicare changes for 2015 is available at www.medicare.gov. The Social Security Act outlines how

the COLA is calculated. To read more about the COLA, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ cola. To learn more about other changes in 2015, visit www. socialsecurity.gov/news/press/ factsheets/colafacts2015.html.

Naps can have a reenergizing effect on men and women, but a study from German researchers also found that naps also could improve memory. In the study, researchers divided participants into three groups: people who would stay awake for 60 minutes; people who would sleep for six minutes; and people who would sleep for 30 to 45 minutes. After the hour was up, participants were given a word recall test, and those who slept performed better on the test than those who hadn’t.

Cardiovascular exercise pumps oxygen-rich blood to the brain, and that blood contains glucose that can fuel brain cells. Cardiovascular exercise also strengthens blood vessels, which can help prevent potentially devastating diseases, such as stroke, that can have a lasting and negative impact on cognitive function. • Find time for friends and family. Many people need no reason to socialize, but those that do can now cite boosting brain function as a great reason to get together with family and friends. Routine socialization can keep a brain sharp by reducing its levels of cortisol, a potentially destructive hormone brought on by stress.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 40 percent of the United States population is now considered obese, while an additional 34 percent are considered overweight. In Canada, 25 percent of the population is classified as obese and 41 percent are overweight. These figures illustrate a potentially grave future for Canadians and Americans alike, as the consequences of being overweight or obese include diabetes, heart disease and even death. Obesity can have a very real and lasting impact on individuals and future generations. Here are some health effects that can be the result of carrying around too much weight. Cancer The National Cancer Institute says each year thousands of new cases of cancer in men and women can be linked to obesity. Some researchers feel that excess

because fatty tissue may cause hormonal changes that impact conception.

High Blood Pressure Overweight or obese people have a greater chance of developing high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries while the heart pumps blood. High blood pressure can weaken the heart over time, causing it to work less efficiently, and may lead to aneurysm, heart failure or stroke.

Type 2 Diabetes When a person has type 2 diabetes, his or her body cannot use insulin properly. Over time, the body cannot make enough insulin to regulate blood sugar level. About 80 to 90 percent of people who are obese also have type 2 diabetes, and it’s believed that being overweight places extra stress on the body’s ability to maintain proper glucose levels in the blood, creating a greater need for insulin. This can create a vicious cycle, as insulin use itself can lead to weight gain.

Infertility As with cancer, the potential correlation between obesity and infertility requires further study. But there is some evidence that point to obesity as a contributing factor to infertility. Overweight women tend to have a harder time getting pregnant, and some researchers feel that is

War, Wine, and Giving Holiday Thanks By David White One hundred years ago, France launched its first major offensive against Germany in World War I. The fight took place in the wine-growing region of Champagne, which the German army had invaded just weeks after hostilities broke out. Nearly 200,000 lives were lost in the three-month battle. Champagne witnessed some of the war's heaviest fighting. The region's two largest cities -- Reims and Epernay -- were bombarded for three years. Locals took shelter in the caves under houses like Veuve Clicquot, Krug, and Taittinger. The vineyards became battlefields. Yet production continued. Where bombs could be avoided, women and children harvested grapes. Famously, Jeanne Krug sought wine-making advice via post from her husband, Joseph II, who was a prisoner of war. Praising Krug as a "brave lady," the British sales representative for the Champagne house would later remember selling "the entire cuvee of 1915 in record time." A full century has passed since the Battle of Champagne. But wine remains inextricably tied to conflict. And the bottles that survive continue to offer a window to other times and places. I'll never forget the evening I tasted a perfectly cellared bottle of Bordeaux from 1919. The wine still had life in it; it was delicious

and utterly fascinating. But more importantly, the wine inspired a conversation about the lives of those who made it. The First World War officially ended in 1919, so that wine was made while cleaning up from the wreckage and hoping for a brighter future. Europe, of course, only had a brief respite. Fighting would once again ravage the continent just 20 years later. The Hugels, a winem-aking family in Alsace, still recall the Christmas of 1939. A year earlier, the Nazis conquered Austria. After seizing Czechoslovakia in 1939, Hitler signed pacts with Italy and the Soviet Union. The world knew that another war was just around the corner. As Donald Kladstrup and Petie Kladstrup wrote in Wine and War, "On Christmas Eve, the Hugels gathered together – but it was a somber affair. In previous years, the house had always been decorated, everyone exchanged gifts and then sat down to a sumptuous dinner that included some wonderful wines. But not this year. No one was in the mood. Everyone feared that this would be their last Christmas as French citizens." The story of war and wine continues today. Consider Domaine de Bargylus, the only commercial winery in Syria. Located on a

mountainside in the port city of Latakia, where winemaking dates back nearly 4,000 years, the winery was launched in 2003, when Karim and Sandro SaadĂŠ sought to honor their father by planting a first-rate vineyard. Like 10 million other Syrians, the SaadĂŠs fled their homes to escape the bloody uprising against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. So today, they run their winery from Beirut, Lebanon. The brothers can't return home; as businessmen, they're prime targets for kidnappers. So they issue directives to their staff via phone and email. Occasionally, they'll even hire taxi drivers to shuttle grapes across the border. Lebanon has been spared from most of Syria's bloodshed. But the owners of the 47 wineries in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley recognize that war is never far away. Indeed, the region's eastern edge harbors fighters from both ISIS and al-Nusrah Front. Many of us will spend the coming days surrounded by family and friends, eating great food and drinking great wine. Just as wine is no stranger to war, neither is the world. So this holiday season, be sure to give thanks. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com.

The Weekly Recipe: Figgy Pudding Ingredients: ½ cup of butter 2 jumbo eggs 1 cup of molasses or ž cup of molasses and Ÿ of real Maple syrup 2 cups of mission figs buy 1 pound and chop finely yourself ½ teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind 1 cup of buttermilk 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons of baking powder 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of cinnamon ½ teaspoon of nutmeg 2 cups of a good Brandy Cheesecloth about 3 square feet

Directions: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9 inch tube pan. Beat your butter until soft. Add the eggs and molasses or molasses and maple syrup and beat until fluffy. Add chopped figs the best quality you can find, grated lemon rind, and buttermilk. In a second bowl combine the rest of the ingredients (all dry ingredients) blend well. Pour the dry ingredients into the fig mixture and stir well. Pour into greased tube pan and cook for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool for 15 minutes, and then run a knife around the edges of the cake pan to dislodge. Put on a baking rack to cool completely. Place the Figgy Pudding in a nice serving plate. Soak the cheese cloth in the brandy and wrap the sides and top of the pudding like cake. Add the extra brandy to the pudding a bit at a time over the next 24 hours keeping the cheesecloth. Moist at all times. Keep in the refrigerator during this time of soaking the Figgy Pudding. Remove the cheesecloth when serving. Bring the Figgy Pudding to the table and heat a small metal ladle filled with a couple ounces of Brandy. Now light up the brandy with a lighter. Pour the bluish flames of brandy slowly over the top of the pudding and serve! Option: Cutting the molasses with real Maple Syrup will give it a sweeter taste. Submitted by Paul Parent

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Safe Haven now has a “Scaredy Cat School� for kitties who are feral and need special care to prepare them for adoption. The ferals arrive from the woods and fields in a rather catatonic, horrified state. They do not blink. They stare. They do not purr, they hiss. They swipe their claws to warn you they’ll defend themselves if attacked. They’re much too fearful to play. Some humans are scaredy cats themselves, and think these kitties will never let themselves be petted. But never say never. Every kitty deserves a chance and miracles happen at Scaredy Cat School all the time. We’ve never had a dropout! All it takes is lots and lots of love, patience, and cat treats. Each kitty gets a progress chart and levels of socializing are worked on and checked off. They’re never pushed or challenged. Gentle handling, great respect, quiet training sessions repeated at least six times day and night, and exposure from a distance to everyday life eventually teaches them that people don’t have to be feared. Their progress is our joy. Their first

blink, their first play session, their first purr, are momentous and give hope for their futures. Our goal is to help them become socialized enough that they can be adopted into a special person’s home. We only adopt ferals to cat-savvy folks who “get� ferals and shy kitties, and understand they need to help them continue moving forward. Our current class at Scaredy Cat School is ready for graduation and adoption. The “Feral Five� have worked hard at their classes. They now purr, respond to being patted, and play. They’re relaxed, confident and happy. Chilly Willy is already spoken for. He’s the most feral of all, and made a big impression on a local teacher who wants to help him complete his journey. We’re now accepting applica-

tions for Hootie, Itty Bitty, Boo Boo, Charlie and Sweet Caroline. They’re bonded and need to be adopted in pairs so they continue to have the comfort and familiarity they need. Come and meet them, learn more about ferals and how you can adopt a Scaredy Cat Graduate! Our heartfelt thanks to the Liu family of York for their generous donation of $5,000 to Safe Haven’s Capital Campaign. Welcome to the “Top Cat Club!� Thanks also to Paul and Helen Rice for their second big donation toward the renovation of our new Adoption Center.

You may see it quite often as you're driving around town: dogs riding in the back of trucks. You might even know someone who does it. Why not? It seems so convenient to just load your dog up in the back and take them with you. According to the Humane Society of the United States, 100,000 dogs are killed each year in accidents involving riding in truck beds. In addition, veterinarians see numerous cases of dogs being injured because they jumped out or were thrown from the bed of a pickup truck. If these dogs are lucky enough to still be alive, broken legs and joint injuries are among the most common types of damage that they sustain and often result in amputation. There are many dangers of having your fourlegged friend loose in the bed of a truck while you're ramming the roads. Eye, Ear & Nose Damage you adopt a cat who is 8 years or older, they will be fee-waived. It’s the Seniors for Seniors Discount. Senior animals tend to be more well-behaved and easier going than their younger compatriots, so they are ideal companions for older individuals. So if you’ve been looking for a new friend to enjoy your golden years with, then stop on by the AWS today.

This may not have even occurred to you, since dogs always have a tendency to stick their heads out the window of a moving vehicle to smell all of those new smells on the open road. But being in the open air traveling at high speeds (whether their head is out the window or they're in the back of the truck) can likely cause damage to the delicate parts of their face. The swirling of the air currents in the bed of a pickup truck can cause dirt, debris and insects to become lodged in the dog's eyes, ears, and nose. Being Ejected from the Truck We've all had to slam on our brakes while we're driving at some point; it's inevitable. Now imagine slamming on your brakes while your beloved dog is in the truck bed. He's going to get a serious jolt and it's possible that he could fly right out of the bed and into the road. You also run the risk of getting into an accident while you're traveling with your precious cargo that could also force him out of the bed. And if you think that securing him with a rope or chain is any better, you're wrong. There have been cases where dogs were thrown out of the back of the truck while still attached and being dragged on the road while the owner is still driving. Talk See TRUCKS page 29...

Sherwood K. Baston, 83 WELLS, ME / PENSACOLA, FL – Sherwood K. Baston, 83, passed away Wednesday, November 19, 2014, in Pensacola, after a brief illness. Sherwood, a longtime resident of Wells, was very proud to have served with the Maine State Police for 20 years, retiring in 1976. He then worked in the field of security and on the Ogunquit Police Department. Sherwood was also a gifted woodworker, which he loved. Sherwood enjoyed his summers in Maine and his winters in Florida. He relaxed daily by observing neighborhood activity while sitting on his porch, both in Maine and Pensacola. A wave of the hand and a smile was given to every passerby. He was loved by all and will be dearly missed. He was predeceased by his son, Scott Baston, and is survived by his former wife, Polly Baston, Moody, and their children, Linda Boston, Dover, NH, Gail Litchfield, Wells, Gregory Baston, Moody, and Jeffrey Baston, Pensacola. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Peter Galeucia, Kimberly Donahue, Shawn Litchfield, Travis Baston, Christopher Baston, Jennifer Simpson, and Katie Baston; two sisters, Marjorie Oberton and Lorraine Mitchell; and 12 great-grandchildren. Private services will be held in Strong, Maine.

Doris Irene Bernier, 78 WELLS, ME / FRANKLIN, TN - Doris Irene Bernier, age 78 a resident of Franklin passed away peacefully on December 13, 2014 at NHC Franklin. Doris was born March 19,

1936 in Nashua, NH to the late Leo and Lillian Lachance. Doris would spend most of her life in Nashua, working at the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds and enjoying the company of her friends and family. She and her husband of 59 years, Maurice, moved to Wells, where they lived for 12 years and then to Franklin only two years ago to be closer to family. Doris will be remembered for her creativity, particularly the writing and painting she did during retirement. Doris is survived by her husband Maurice Bernier of Franklin; son Ronald Bernier of Droitwich, England; daughters: Sandra (Fran) Bedard of Primm Springs, TN and Brenda Bernier (Bill Fecke) of Medford, MA; grandsons: Michael Bedard of Atlanta, GA and Stephen Bedard of Primm Springs, TN; granddaughter: Elizabeth Fecke of Medford, MA.

Richard Bradley Cluff, Jr., 59 KENNEBUNK AREA, ME / PORT CHARLOTTE, FL - Richard Bradley Cluff, Jr., 59, of Kevin Street, passed away on December 3, 2014 in Port Charlotte, after a brief illness. Rick was born on November 16, 1955, to Richard Bradley Cluff Sr., and Mildred Bergeron Cluff of Kennebunkport. At the age of 17 Rick enlisted in the Army where he was 3rd Calvary Armored Division. He often spoke fondly of the nearly four years he spent in Amber, Germany where he would spend weekends helping a local family on their farm. A couple years

ago, this family tracked him down and wanted to reconnect with him. He was to go to Germany in the spring. After leaving the Army, he worked for several years constructing houses with his uncle Lee Cluff. For many years, Rick and his brother Tim raced stockcars at Beechridge Motor Speedway. Ricks first love was golfing and he was a lifelong member of the Dutch Elm Golf Course where he was given the nickname ‘Boomer’ because of how far he could hit the ball. Rick was also an avid outdoorsman enjoying annual hunting trips to Oxbow. Rick retired after a long career at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard as supervisor of the paint and sandblast dept. He was called the ‘Duke of Dust’ because of his knowledge of overhauling and scheduling paint and sandblast. He received many awards from the Dept. of the Navy for saving time and money on these overhauls. Rick married Gayle Barbara Smith on February 6, 1982, and in February 2015 would be married for 33 years. He was a member and past master of the York Lodge #22 AF & AM in West Kennebunk. He was also a member of the York County Shrine and Renegade. Rick was predeceased by his father, Richard Sr., and brother Gary. He leaves behind his wife Gayle; mother, Millie Cluff brother, Tim Cluff and his wife Debbie; sister-in-law Lindy Cluff; nephews, Anthony Kratovil, Andrew Sepulveda, Kyle Cluff and niece, Amanda Sepulveda. A memorial will be held in Maine in the spring.

Lewis F. Coleman, 80 WELLS / SANFORD, ME – Lewis F. Coleman, 80, of Sandy Point Road, formerly of Wells, passed away December 25, 2014 in York Hospital after a 9-month battle with cancer. Lewis was born February 20, 1934 in North Berwick; son of Harry and Mildred (Wentworth) Coleman. He attended North Berwick schools where he excelled at baseball, pitching for the Maine State Legion on the Championship team. He was scouted as a pitcher by the Cleveland Indians; which Lewis declined, not wanting to leave his family, but shared his love of the game by coaching Little League in Wells. Lewis drove truck for both Hussey Seating and Newhall Trucking and proudly served in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper. On March 5, 1953, he married Isabelle Grover, together raising 8 children, as well as opening their home to numerous Fresh Air children. They owned and operated Coleman Feed and Seed in Wells, where he raised livestock animals.

Lewis was a supervisor for the Maine Turnpike Authority for 41 years. After retirement in 1992, they bought a home on Sand Pond where he loved fishing and woodworking in his shop. To keep busy, he worked with his son and grandson landscaping; puttering for Marc Motors and Carl Merrill and on the trolleys for Stillman Bradish. Lewis will be fondly remembered as a quick-witted, kind, big-hearted, gentle man who touched many lives with that vibrant smile on his face. Mostly, he loved his family with all his heart and soul. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 61 years, Isabelle (Grover) Coleman of Sanford; 8 children; Allayne Coleman and Ron Maillet of Fitchburg, MA, Kerri VanSchaack and husband Ed of Wells, Michael Coleman and wife Ruth Griffin of Camden, Joel Coleman and wife Nancy of Springvale, Anthony Coleman and wife Deborah of Wells, Kelley Sevigney and husband Bill of Wells, Christopher Coleman and wife Donna of Wells and Patrick Coleman and wife Kim of North Berwick. He will be missed by his 16 special grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 5 nieces. A funeral was held on Tuesday, Dec. 30 with interment scheduled for Wednesday at the Springvale Veterans Cemetery, with a Military Honors Service. Friends who wish may contribute in his memory to the ALS Foundation, 60 Western Ave., Augusta, ME 04330. Condolences may be made at www. JohnsonFuneralHomeME.com. See OBITUARIES page 27...

George Henry Winn, 72 WELLS, ME - George Henry Winn, 72, of North Berwick Road, passed away peacefully at his home on December 28, 2014. He was born July 9, 1942 in York, Maine, a son of Warren “Arnold” and Doris Ella (Boyd) Winn. George was a graduate of Wells High School where he was known as the class clown. He had a lifelong love of camping and the outdoors; especially deer, moose and rabbit hunting. George was a quiet man with a dry sense of humor, but with a quick wit that made everyone laugh right along with him. His kindness and generosity will be fondly remembered. In 1981 he married his high school sweetheart, Judy Ann Bridges. They resided in

Community Banks Challenge Raises Awareness and Funds for United Way of York County KENNEBUNK – Four community banks competed head-to-head in a friendly challenge that helped raise awareness and dollars for United Way of York County. Biddeford Savings, Kennebunk Savings, Saco & Biddeford Savings and SIS Bank, generously take part in United Way activities year round lending their time, talent and treasure, but when it comes to the fall it is all about raising funds for United Way’s Community Campaign. This year, to help encourage participation in the campaign, community bank Presidents, Charles Petersen of Biddeford Savings, Brad Paige of Kennebunk Savings, Kevin Savage of Saco & Biddeford Savings and Mark Mickeriz of SIS Bank, came together and created an ice cream challenge. The rules for the challenge are quite simple – the bank that has the largest number of

Lil’s Café to Expand in 2015 KITTERY Lil’s Café on Wallingford Square will be expanding to the space adjacent to it in early 2015, according to its owners. The café will grow into the space opened by the departure of River Run Bookstore, roughly doubling the size of the café to accommodate its growing number of patrons. “Many days the café is full with no seats available,” says owner Michael Landgarten. “It seems clear we need the additional space for more seating but

we want to do more than just add seats in the new space. We plan to open up that space in early 2015 and will take the time between now and then to figure out exactly how it will work.” Since opening in November of 2013, the café has been packed with patrons for breakfast and lunch. The café serves a variety of pastries, including their very popular Cruller, as well as creative sandwiches and light lunch items. Lil’s serves Tandem coffee, an award-winning and

much-applauded Portland coffee roaster. Lil’s is owned by the same team that owns Robert’s Maine Grille and Bob’s Clam hut. Landgarten is also a partner in the WSQ building that houses Lil’s as well as MEat, Anju Noodle Bar, Folk, and Maine Squeeze. “The reception Lil’s has received from the local community and well beyond far outstrips anything I could have imagined,” says Landgarten. “I’m so thankful to all who have made

employees participating in their United Way campaign wins. The three remaining bank presidents will be responsible for serving up ice cream to the winning bank at the victor’s main branch. The stakes were raised even higher when the bank presidents agreed to wear the apparel of the winning bank while serving. The results are expected in by the beginning of November Lil’s a part of the community so quickly. I think the success is due to many factors – a committed and talented team including baristas, bakers, managers and more, a neighborhood that really wanted this place to thrive – giving us positive and constructive feedback and not quitting on us when we struggled and fantastic neighbors who draw more and more people to this neck of Kittery. It’s been a very exciting year.” Lil’s recently marked its one-year anniversary with a celebration in the new space in November 2014.

Yorke Realty Helps Local Charities Keep Food On The Table YORK – Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty recently presented checks totaling $2,200, to two local charities, The Table of Plenty and the York Food Pantry. Proceeds

were raised at the 30th Annual Harvestfest in October where brokers from Yorke Realty sold hot dogs and popcorn throughout the day to visitors of all ages. Each year at this event, Coldwell

Employees of Yorke Realty donate $2,200 to local charities.

Banker Yorke Realty selects two non-profit groups to donate 100 percent of the proceeds, and they selected these two deserving organizations again this year. Both groups rely heavily on private donations and volunteer support to sustain them and offer the muchneeded local assistance. All the food products were donated by Favorite Foods and Fantini Bakery and the hot dog cart was provided and operated by Bill Cavalieri. “We continue to be grateful to Yorke Realty for this generous yearly donation. It really makes a difference in the lives of so many local families, especially this time of year,” Michelle Surdoval, Family Service Director of York

Community Service Association announced. Surdoval also expressed her excitement about the "new look and feel" of the Food Pantry and encourages people to personally stop in to make a donation and preview the changes. "We want our families to have a dignified experience when they come to us for assistance and actually do their own "grocery shopping". We are set up now so they can select the items they prefer to use off shelves using a grocery cart," she stated. The YSCA provides general assistance to low income families and individuals living in York. These services include fuel and clothing assistance, food vouchers, medical equipment and emer-

and the winning bank will be announced via United Way of York County’s Facebook (United Way of York County Maine) and Twitter (@uwycme) pages. “We were so thrilled when they came to us with the idea for this challenge. It is a win-win situation when we can both educate and share the work we do in a fun way that brings the community together. We are honored and fortunate to have this partnership with all four community banks”, says Barb Wentworth, President and CEO of United Way of York County. Early this December, the winner of the Community Bank Challenge was announced as: Sanford Institution for Savings (SIS Bank) with 95 percent of their employees participating in the United Way employee campaign. Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution had 72 percent of employees participate, Kennebunk Savings had 87 percent, and Biddeford Savings had 88 percent of their employees participate. In total all four banks including all employee dollars, special events and corporate giving, they raised a combined $185,000 this year – this is about 15 percent of UWYC’s total campaign.

Maine Army National Guard Recognized for “Excellence in Facilities Programs” STATEWIDE – Governor Paul R. LePage recently commended state and federal employees from the Maine Army National Guard for being named the best installation management program in the United States. Recognizing Maine's achievement of environmental quality, fiscal management and installation readiness, the National Guard Bureau announced the prestigious Fred Aron Award for Excellence in Facilities Programs. "The Maine Army National Guard has always exemplified excellence in its quality of work, and this award is an acknowledgement that Maine is the best compared to other states and territories," said Governor LePage. "The importance of fiscal stewardship is critical, and the MEARNG has demonstrated there are always way to improve programs by managing resources better. More importantly, this

can be done without losing quality of service. All of the men and women of the Maine Army National Guard should be proud of their efforts. I congratulate and thank each of you for your service." The Directorate of Facilities Engineering was awarded the Fred Aron Award, which rates the performance of the 54 states and territories in eight areas including financial management, energy conservation and security. "This is an unprecedented accomplishment for a state to win back-to-back awards. I am very proud of your hard work and well-deserved recognition by senior leaders at the national level," said Brig. Gen. James D. Campbell, Adjutant General. The Directorate of Facilities Engineering also received the Environmental Award for Installations, Environmental Quality, Non-Industrial, for focusing on how to save taxpayer dollars

while protecting and preserving Maine's pristine environment. "This is not just an award for any one individual," said Lt. Col. Greg Leimbach, the resource manager for the Directorate of Facilities Engineering. "This goes to show how the directorate functions together like a team. This award not only shows the effectiveness of the relationships we have built, but also the quality of our work."

Whether they are trying to protect endangered specials, protect forestlands, improve wastewater treatment, prevent damage to historic sites or improve water usage, the Maine National Guard has found innovative and cost-effective mechanisms that support their efforts in these environmental programs. During the ceremony, the Governor presented each employee with an U.S. flag pin in

the shape of Maine as a token of his gratitude of the hard-working men and women who serve the taxpayers of Maine. The event was held in the Cabinet Room and attended by several senior staff members of the Maine Army National Guard and state employees from the Directorate of Facilities Engineering from Camp Keyes in Augusta.

WES Students Spread Spirit in an Old Fashioned Way

WELLS – “The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear,� so said a group of 50 students in unison, before they commenced two brief impromptu holiday concerts on December 22. The quote was from the holiday movie, “Elf� and the carolers were Multi 3-4 and fourth grade students from three classrooms at Wells Elementary School. Three days before Christmas, the contingent of students, staff and parent volunteers began by walking from their school to Wells High School where they sang several holiday favorites to the older students in the school’s lobby. Next they walked a short distance to Wells Town Hall where they were greeted at the front door by Town Manager Jon Carter and staff members, some of whom watched the carolers singing in the courtyard

below from the front windows of the building’s second floor. The children sang from their repertoire of four songs including Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Accompanying the

group were teachers Beth Bush, Annie Brown, Melissa Stapleton plus parent volunteers. This is the second year for this group to go caroling with last year’s caroling limited to inside visiting classrooms at WES.

“Yes, I think this should be the start of a tradition,â€? commented Melissa Stapleton when asked about the possibility of student caroling becoming a new school tradition. “Next year, I would like to make stops at WJHS and the Superintendent's office,â€? continued the Multi 3-4 teacher who added, “Teaching is so much more than academics in the classroom, it is an opportunity to teach kids to care and to give back. We are so fortunate to have a shared campus in Wells. By caroling at WHS and Wells Town Hall, it was an opportunity for us to come together as a community.â€? Town Manager Carter and staff appeared pleasantly surprised and pleased to take a break from town business to step outside to meet and listen to the school singers. Carter commented that the visit by the carolers â€œâ€Śwas a great seasonal eventâ€? and added that the he and staff “hope we can elaborate on it and make it an annual event!â€?

...MORE from page 29 have banned this type of pet travel and other states have bills pending. What's the Alternative? Even though it's not against the law in all 50 states, traveling with dogs in the bed of your pickup trucks should never be an option. The Humane Society of the US notes that they don't know of any brand of harness that is safe for the back of the truck. It's best to have the dog in the cab with you, and if it's an extended cab, the dog should be restrained in the back and away from the windshield. For trucks, pet travel crates, pet safety belts, and pet car seats are the safest bets. And if none of these are available to you at the time you're taking your truck (or any vehicle), consider keeping your dog safe at home.
