The Origins of Baby New Year Excitement for a new year abounds on January 1. Baby New Year is one of the more recognizable symbols of the New Year’s holiday, particularly in print advertisements and television commercials. Perhaps you’ve wondered what role Baby New Year plays in the celebration? While he may seem like a relatively modern icon, this cultural mainstay has a lengthy history. One theory suggests Baby New Year was celebrated as far back as 600 B.C. in ancient Greece, when a child was paraded around in a basket upon
the arrival of the new year. The baby represented rebirth, and Greeks believed their god of wine, Dionysus, was reborn on New Year’s as the spirit of fertility. Other historians say that the custom even predates the Greeks to the ancient Egyptians. Even though the baby new year custom was originally frowned upon by Christians and deemed a pagan tradition, eventually Christians embraced the symbol as well, albeit in a different way. The end of the year is marked by the birth of the Christ child, and this
became a special way to interpret Baby New Year. In modern times, Baby New Year has lost any connection to a deity or religious figure. Rather, he is now interpreted as a child who arrives at the start of the year and eventually ages into Father Time. The baby is depicted as an infant or toddler wearing a diaper and a sash with the year he is representing (and often a top hat). He is sometimes depicted holding or associated See BABY page 2...
Public Input on Solutions To Shipyard Traffic Challenges KITTERY The Town of Kittery, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission have worked with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to understand issues impacting the town and surrounding communities, and identify possible solutions to address regional traffic issues. The public is urged to attend a final community input session to learn about the recommendations and offer feedback. The JLUS Open House will take place at the Kittery Community Center, 120 Rogers Road, in Kittery, on Tuesday, January 7, 3-7 p.m. with presentations at
3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. JLUS Project Manager Jason Schrieber, a transportation expert with Stantec Consulting Services, says, “There is no silver bullet to address the congestion and encroachment impacts of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, however, we have identified a combination of strategies that can collectively address many issues facing Kittery and beyond. We look forward to answering questions as we finalize the study results and recommendations.” For the past year, Stantec has collected data, conducted numerous surveys, led public engagement sessions, and met with

Most areas in Europe and North America observe daylight saving time. Daylight saving time is often welcomed in spring, as it helps to extend daylight hours well into the evening. But few may welcome turning the clocks back in fall. Coupled with the natural shortening of daylight hours as winter approaches, the end of DST facilitates a sudden shift in the ratio of sunlight to darkness. As autumn transforms into winter, the number of available hours of daylight slowly dwindles. Some areas of Alaska and Canada see only about three or

Florida, the southernmost point of the contiguous United States, may enjoy around 10 hours of daylight. Fewer daylight hours can adversely affect mood and productivity. Seasonal affective disorder, often referred to as “SAD” or “the winter blues,” has been recognized and included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders. Clinicians say that, as days become short and dark, a predictable set of symptoms of SAD may emerge. Individuals with SAD may experience a host of symptoms, including

The Cleveland Clinic advises that approximately half a million people in the United States suffer from winter SAD, while 10 to 20 percent may suffer from more mild forms of winter blues. The Canadian Mental Health Association states that between 2 and 3 percent of Canadians will experience SAD in their lifetime. Another 15 percent will experience a mild form of SAD that leaves them only slightly depressed. See SAD page 6...

Social Security Benefits Increase in 2020
WASHINGTON, D.C. Each year, the annual costof-living adjustment (COLA) is announced by Social Security. By law, federal benefits increase when the cost of living rises, as measured by the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Usually, there is an increase in the benefit amount people will receive each month, starting the following January. Nearly 69 million Amer-
icans will see a 1.6% increase in their Social Security benefits and SSI payments in 2020. Other changes that will happen in January 2020 reflect the increase in the national average wage index. For example, the maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security payroll tax will increase to $137,700 from $132,900. The earnings limit for people turning 66 in 2020 will increase to $48,600. (Social Security deducts $1 from benefits
for each $3 earned over $48,600 until the month the worker turns age 66.) In December 2019, we will post Social Security COLA notices online for retirement, survivors, and disability beneficiaries who have a my Social Security account. Those with accounts will be able to view and save future COLA notices via the Message Center inside my Social Security. To sign up for a my Social Security account or for more information, go to www.socialsecurity.gov.
Veterans Parking Signs Available YORK York’s Committee for Veterans’ Affairs was established in part “to help ensure the town honors veterans and the military, and to advise the Board of Selectmen accordingly.” As a way to show support for Veterans’ and Active Duty Military the Committee presented “Veterans Only” parking signs to the Board that could be purchased and displayed by local businesses. The Board indicated full support for this project and set the example by installing the first sign at the York Town Hall.
The Committee is making the signs available (at cost) for $21 and to date, signs have been purchased by York Hospital, York Parks & Rec, York Police Department, York Library, the Cliff House, Estes Oil and Gas, Eldredge Lumber & Hardware, Norma’s, Amidon Family Dentistry, and others. For more information or to purchase a “Veterans Only” parking sign, contact Capt. Barry Waddell, USN (ret.) Chairman, York Committee for Veterans’ Affairs at 207361-4799.
with an hourglass, a noisemaker or other item either pertaining to time or New Year’s Day festivities. Father Time is often portrayed as an elderly man with a long, gray beard. The Baby New Year/Father Time message boils
down to “out with the old and in with the new.” People bid goodbye to Father Time and welcome this cherubic child who will carry them through the next 12 months and grow with them. The Baby New Year idea eventually developed into a “First Born” tradition as well. Many towns, cities and hos-

pitals have instituted contests awarding the first baby born in the new year the title of “Baby New Year.” Such children are often the subjects of local news coverage and get their picture in the newspaper. Gifts, such as complimentary diapers, a case of formula or baby food or other baby supplies may be offered. In addition, private companies may offer their own gifts and recognition to the lucky child and his or her family in turn for complementary publicity. Baby New Year is a symbol of the fresh start the new year brings. His relevance in celebrations has endured for centuries.

Similar symptoms can occur for those people who live in cloudy regions or high latitudes. Evidence strongly suggests SAD is linked to sunlight. This lack of sunlight may trigger production of melatonin in some individuals. Melatonin is a hormone made in the pineal gland that regulates sleep onset and sleeping patterns. A combination of self-care strategies as well as professional medical treatment may help those with winter blues or more severe SAD. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that these strategies can help people coping with SAD.

Avoid overloading on carbohydrates like cookies and candies. Talk to a doctor about using light therapy, which is the first line of SAD treatment, according to the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Consider cognitive behavioral therapy or talk therapy with a licensed mental health provider. He or she also can make recommendations about the use of medication to alleviate symptoms if other treatments do not provide results. There are many ways to mitigate the symptoms of winter blues.

Eliot Historical Society Kicks-Off Maine Bicentennial ELIOT The Eliot Historical Society begins its programming for this year’s celebration of Maine’s Bicentennial with presentations focusing on State and local history. January 6 will take you on a journey over Maine “high on the wings of an eagle”. Learn about the history and beautiful natural features of our fair state while experiencing some spectacular views through aerial photography. On February 3 noted author and Poet Laureate of Portsmouth, Tammi Truax, will share her research and the compelling story “Ona Judge Staines: Her life before and after her 1796 escape to NH”. The slave of President and Martha Washington, Ona successfully eluded their efforts to recapture her, making her way
to Portsmouth, NH, and later Greenland, NH. Learn about some of the area’s famous families who helped the Black Community defy the most powerful man in the country as she made her journey to freedom. On March 2, researcher and writer Eric Christian will focus on “Hawthorne’s Eliot Inspiration - The Life of Mary Bachiler in Puritan Maine”. Two hundred years before Nathaniel Hawthorne published his famous novel, The Scarlet Letter, the original inspiration for his story lived a tumultuous life in a part of Kittery which became Eliot. Mary Beadle Bachiler, the fourth wife of Rev. Stephen Bachiler made a remarkable recovery from public humiliation in 1651, when she was convicted of adultery, to earning the distinction as being the only woman to sign the
Submission of Maine to Massachusetts at William Everett’s Tavern in 1652. Join us as we explore the life of this interesting pioneer, wife, and mother and uncover one of the many interesting stories of Maine’s early settlement. All Society meetings are held at the John F. Hill Grange Hall, 1412 State Road and begin at 7 p.m. The programs are free and refreshments are served. For more information, call 207-752-0174.

and neoclassical artifacts, and brings to mind England’s most famous pottery. But there is far more to the Wedgwood story. Barnett outlines the connections between Josiah Wedgwood and America from the 18th century to the present, with a focus on New England. She discusses not only how Wedgwood marked his place in history, but reveals his political and personal sympathies during the period of America’s revolution. She precedes this with a brief overview of the wide range of wares that have been produced during the company’s 260 years, illustrating what has made the Wedgwood pottery so distinguished. Admission is $22 for the general public and $20 for members. Tickets are available online at www.oldyork.org or at the door. Ticket price includes the lecture and dinner.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ STAR Theatre to Host 3rd Annual Seacoast Environmental Film Festival KITTERY Full day of films brings environmental issues to the fore on January 11 at the STAR Theatre at the Kittery Community Center. This benefit event for the Kittery Land Trust, Seacoast Environmental Film Festival (SEFF) includes a full day of films, discussions, panels, exhibits, food and fun that brings together organizations, experts, businesses and activists from around the region who care about the environment, sustainability and conservation. Tickets are not required but there is suggested donation of $5 per film. Kittery Land Trust is also selling VIP passes for $50 that includes a special evening reception hosted by Kennebunk Savings Bank and Woodland Farms Brewery. “We are so excited for our 3rd annual film festival”, says Lisa Linehan, Executive Director of Kittery Land Trust, which is hosting the event. “We’re building on last year’s huge success with a diverse line-up of films, bringing many topics and organizations under one roof so people can learn and cross-pollinate their ideas and passions.” Linehan adds that “KLT’s hope is that these films get our Seacoast community informed, outraged, and inspired to act locally
to protect our shared home.” Films include Lobster War, about the iconic and economically valuable lobstering industry in Maine that is threatened by warming waters in the Gulf of Maine. The film will be followed by a panel discussion with producer David Abel and local fisherman and historian Dave Kaselauskas. At 11 a.m. SEFF screens Motherload, a delightful film about a new mother of twins who feels trapped by her minivan lifestyle and goes on a quest to create a bicycle-centered lifestyle with her family. A panel discussion follows with Anne Rugg (SABR), local cargo-bike enthusiast Ned Savoie, and others. There is a lunch break 1-2 p.m. with soup and wrap options available for purchase. SEFF gets rolling again at 2 p.m. with The Biggest Little
Farm, a film about the 8-year journey of a young couple in California to convert 200 acres of barren land into a thriving farm that also supports healthy wildlife habitat and clean water. The Last Green Threat screens at 4 p.m. and follows three friends as they explore a narrow path through central Florida to the Everglades, surveying a fragile wilderness corridor before it disappears. The film is a call for protecting critical passages for wildlife and will be followed by a discussion. The SEFF headliner rolls at 6:30 p.m. with the regional premiere of The Story of Plastic, a seething exposé about the ugly truth behind the current global plastic crisis and the movement to fight back. A panel discussion follows. Come for one movie or spend the whole day! Tickets
are not required but the suggested donation is $5 per film. VIP ticket information and full details about SEFF are available at www.kitterylandtrust.org or email info@kitterylandtrust.org.

$4+ Billion for Heating Assistance, Weatherization Programs WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, announced that $3.74 billion for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and $305 million for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) were signed into law last night as
part of the fiscal year 2020 appropriations package. Senator Collins strongly advocated for this funding and secured an increase of $50 million for LIHEAP and $51 million for WAP compared to the previous fiscal year. Earlier this month, Senators Collins and Jack Reed (D-RI) sent letters to the leadership of two Appropri-
ations Subcommittees urging them to provide robust funding for LIHEAP and WAP. “The LIHEAP and Weatherization programs are essential to helping thousands of Mainers keep warm during the cold winter months,” said Senator Collins. “This funding will help ensure that low-income families and seniors do
Do You Think Your Medicare Income-Related Premium is Wrong? WASHINGTON, D.C. Changes in law affect how Social Security calculates monthly Medicare Part B (medical insurance) and Medicare prescription drug coverage premiums. •Medicare Part B provides coverage for physician services, outpatient hospital services, certain home health services, durable medical equipment, and other items. Most beneficiaries will pay a standard premium for Part B coverage. Some beneficiaries may also pay a late enrollment surcharge. A small number of beneficiaries with higher incomes will pay a higher Part B premium based on their income. Medicare prescription
drug coverage helps pay for prescription drugs. Plan costs vary depending on the plan, and on whether you get Extra Help with your portion of the Medicare prescription drug costs. A small number of beneficiaries with higher incomes will pay a higher prescription drug premium based on their income. If you’re a Medicare beneficiary who must pay more for your Medicare Part B or Medicare prescription drug coverage premium because of your income, and you disagree with the decision, you may request an appeal. The fastest and easiest way to file an appeal is by visiting www.socialsecurity. gov/disability/appeal. More information is

available at www.socialsecurity.gov. If your income has gone down due to certain specific circumstances, or if you filed an amended tax return, you can ask for a new decision without having to file an appeal.

not have to make the impossible choice between paying for heat and paying for food or medicine.” In October, Senators Collins and Reed led a bipartisan coalition of Senators in sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to release funds for LIHEAP as quickly as possible under the continuing resolution. In April, Senators Collins and Reed joined Senators Chris Coons (D-DE) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) to introduce legislation that would reauthorize WAP through 2024. In 2018, nearly 28,000
Maine households received assistance benefits through the LIHEAP program. Since 2010, Maine has received $22.1 million in WAP funding and has been able to successfully weatherize nearly 2,500 homes and rental units across the state, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Senator Collins also secured report language encouraging the Department of Housing and Urban Development to continue coordinating its weatherization projects with its efforts to remove lead-based hazards from homes.

Dear Computer Lady, I have a Toshiba 1Terabyte hard drive with a lot of things saved on it. Lately when I plug in the device to the computer a message box from Microsoft Windows will come up with: “Do you want to scan and fix Toshiba EXT (H)” There might be a problem with some files on this devise or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it. It wants to know if I want to: 1) Scan and fix (recommended) This will prevent future problems when copying files to this device or disc. 2) Continue without scanning. I always continue without scanning. I would hope it would fix if I scan and fix, but I do not want to lose files. Can you tell me what I should do. It is frustrating that this is coming up. Please help! Ann Dear Ann, I get this message some-
times as well, although usually with a USB thumb drive, not a larger hard drive. Most of the time, you can scan and fix the drive without losing the files, however, if this drive has your only copy of these files, you should really save them someplace else before you run the scan. If you have files saved on an external hard drive, they are not backed up unless you also save them in another location as well. The hard drive on your computer is a good place to save them, or you can backup to a cloud backup service. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I’m not computer savvy, so I have a question. How do I move a line or sentence in a document I create up or down? For instance, If I placed a large space between a line and I want to move the line up, how do I do this, or move it down. Thanks for your help, Joe

Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I hope you can answer my question as Google can’t. I have googled this on several occasions but still no answer. I am on Facebook and I need to install Messenger, but I read somewhere that if you do, anyone anyplace can read your emails, and I do have private information in some of my emails. So is this true? Is it ok to install Messenger on my Facebook account or not? Thank you, Constance Dear Constance, Good News, Facebook Messenger does not have anything to do with your emails. You can go ahead and install Messenger on your computer and use it. It will not give strangers, or anyone else access to your email account. One bit of advice that I want to share though is that I never put anything in an email or a message that I wouldn’t want the general public to read. You never know who is going to forward your messages, or if you might accidentally send them to the wrong person or group. This self-imposed rule has served me well over the years. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I look forward to your articles because they are so helpful to me. My problem is that I can’t safely eject a thumb drive from my computer. My son and my sister who are both really computer smart can’t figure out why it doesn’t give me this option. I See COMPUTER page 24...

Health & Fitness Governor Mills Responds to Increase in Youth Vaping AUGUSTA In response to new data showing an increase in ecigarette use among Maine youth, Governor Janet Mills announced today that her Administration will launch an education and prevention campaign targeted to young people to raise awareness about the dangers of e-cigarette use and will move to eliminate provision in state law that still allows some individuals under the age of 21 to buy tobacco products. “Vaping poses a serious risk to the health of young people across Maine, and as this disturbing data shows, far too many are drawn in by the false allure of e-cigarettes,” said Governor Janet Mills. “Young people know that smoking cigarettes is dangerous to their health. Now, it is important they understand that vaping is also dangerous. My Administration will launch an education and prevention campaign to aid in that effort. We will also accelerate the implementation of Maine’s law requiring buyers of tobacco products to be at least 21 years old. There should be no exceptions to this important law that protects public health.” “We want all Maine people, especially our youth, to be aware of the health risks associated with electronic cigarettes,” said Maine Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew. “The Maine CDC is launching a prevention and outreach campaign in early 2020 to inform young people and their families about the dangers these products pose.” In early 2020, the Administration, through the Maine Center for Disease Control (CDC), will launch a full-scale education and prevention campaign that will speak directly to young people through social media, YouTube, TV, radio, and other platforms to warn them about the dangers and risks associated with e-cigarette use. It will be followed by outreach to educate parents
about the dangers of vaping and will be funded with revenue from the sales of e-cigarette products. The Administration will also move to eliminate a provision in state law that still allows some individuals under the age of 21 to purchase tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. The minimum age to buy tobacco products in Maine is 21, which is the result of a law that took effect in July 2018. However, a provision in the law allows individuals who had turned 18 as of July 1, 2018 to continue to buy tobacco products lawfully. The Administration will introduce legislation in the upcoming short session that, if passed, will eliminate the provision and immediately require all individuals who want to purchase tobacco products to be at least 21 years of age. In the coming weeks, the Administration will also work with the Legislature to explore other strategies related to e-cigarette use that could help protect the health and welfare of Maine’s youth. These new actions come in the wake of Governor Mills signing into law in May a bill that bans e-cigarettes use on school property. It also comes in the wake of her direction to Maine CDC to work with the Maine Office of the Attorney General to pursue increased compliance checks on e-cigarette purchases at retailers throughout Maine to prevent sales to youth. Maine already conducts these checks on
both electronic and combustible cigarettes but has boosted the focus on e-cigarettes. Maine also already bans all online sales of e-cigarette products and licenses tobacco product sellers to ensure oversight.

2019 Champions of Policies to Lower Prescription Drug Prices PORTLAND AARP honored Senate President Troy Jackson (D-Allagash), Senator Eloise Vitelli (D-Sagadahoc), Senator Heather Sanborn (D-Cumberland) and Senator Bob Foley (R-York) as 2019 Rx Price Fighters who fought to lower prescription drug prices and help Mainers afford the medications they need. AARP Maine states that the Senators went above and beyond to provide commonsense support for seniors and all taxpayers by championing a package of bills that will lower prices and improve accessibility to medications which thousands of Mainers need to stay healthy. “AARP thanks Senators Jackson, Vitelli, Sanborn and Foley for championing a strong package of Rx bills this year,” says Lori Parham, State Director of AARP Maine which serves more than 230,000 Mainers age 50 and older. “The Senators provided key leadership to help cut drug prices and improve accessibility.”

The legislative package includes the following and while the new laws collectively represent an important step in the fight against Rx prices, AARP will continue to fight to lower prescription drug prices for all Mainers: LD 1272, “An Act To Increase Access to Low-cost Prescription Drugs,” will set up a wholesale prescription drug importation program with approval from the US Department of Health and Human Services. - LD 1499, “An Act To Establish the Maine Prescription Drug Affordability Board” will create a Prescription Drug Affordability Board.

Health & Fitness Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much?
When Apple launched its Screen Time feature last year, many found their digital habits rather eye-opening, to say the least. What’s more? Screen time has gone up over the years with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. One 2018 study found adults in the U.S. spend an average of more than three hours and 48 minutes per day “reading, listening to or simply in-
teracting with media” on computers, tablets or mobile devices, with 62% of this screen time happening on smartphones. These numbers have grown consistently year over year. If you think that’s a lot, kids are on their phones even more. Tweens’ daily screen time average was 4.5 hours, while teens spent a staggering 6.5 hours per day on average staring at screens, according to the
Philip R. Sanguedolce L.D
same study. All of this is certainly impacting family time and may even be affecting our wellbeing. In fact, too much screen time is shown to have an impact on everything from cognitive development and sleep to obesity in children. So how should adults limit kids’ screen time, especially when they see adults spending nearly as much time on their phones and tablets? Here are T-Mobile and Metro by TMobiles’ tips for taking a break from screens. 1. Set clearly defined limits and stick to them. Maybe this means allowing a few short iPad sessions per week for younger children, or no phones or tablets
in a tween’s or teen’s room overnight. Whatever your screen time rules, make sure they are clear and that you take the time to enforce them. 2. Lead by example. From research studies conducted so far, all of us – no matter what age – could use a break from our screens. Limit screen time among the whole family by leaving phones in another room during meals, creating screenless morning and bedtime routines, or doing another family activity like playing a board game or going for a walk around the neighborhood. 3. Give your screen time a purpose and vocalize it. How do we show our kids that not every situation must involve a screen?
State a purpose for each time you pick up your phone. For example, say, “I’m checking the time,” or “Your mom sent a text about when she’ll be home,” or “Let’s check this recipe out for dinner.” Adults can show children there is intent and purpose behind using your phone and it doesn’t just exist for mindless browsing. 4. Include designated Tech-Free time in your family’s schedule. Whether it’s after 7 p.m., or on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or even just Sunday afternoons, having a set time when there are no devices allowed can get your whole family into the habit of lowering their screen time and coming up with other fun family activities that you may enjoy even more.

Historic Funding for Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Research WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins announced that the Senate approved a $2.6 billion increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—bringing total funding for the NIH to $41.7 billion—as part of the appropriations package. The legislation is expected to be signed into law by the President. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee and the Chairman of the Aging Committee, Senator Collins is a champion for greater investments in biomedical research. “There is simply no in-

vestment that promises greater returns for America than our investment in biomedical research. Diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s, with their devastating human and financial costs, are powerful examples of the urgent need to keep our momentum in research funding going,” said Senator Collins. “I am so encouraged that Congress worked in a bipartisan way to provide this transformative funding that will bring tangible hope to so many Americans.” The appropriations bill provides $2.8 billion for Alzheimer’s research, a $350 million increase over last year. In addition. the appropriations bill includes $26.5 million for the Alzheimer’s Disease Program at the Administration for
Community Living, a $3 million increase over last year, and $15.5 million for the CDC’s Alzheimer’s Programs, a $10 million increase. This includes $10 million for the implementation of the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act, legislation Senator Collins authored to create a public health infrastructure to combat this disease. The appropriations bill provides $2.1 billion for the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Disorders at NIH, an increase of $81.8 million over last year. The appropriations bill also provides $27.3 million for the National Diabetes Prevention Program at CDC, a $2 million increase.

Health & Fitness What to Expect as You Transition to a Healthy Diet For many people, the road to a healthy lifestyle begins in the kitchen. People make changes to their diets of their own volition or at the recommendation of their doctors, and those changes can have a profound effect that might surprise even the most devoted of healthy eaters. According to the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education, 90 percent of all cancer cases can be prevented through environmental and lifestyle choices like deciding to eat a healthy diet. In addition, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, notes that a history of poor eating is one of the biggest contributors to the various nutrition- and physical activity-related health challenges that now face the U.S. population. By simply altering their diets to make them more nutritious, millions of people across the globe can significantly reduce their risk for various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. People who are committed to eating healthier should know that changing diets can produce some adverse, but typically temporary, side effects. The CACE notes that such side effects are predictable, as they are essentially just manifestations of the body’s adjustments as it responds to eating better. People adopting healthier diets should discuss the appearance
...PRICES from page 13 tect Consumers from Unfair Practices Related to Pharmacy Benefits Management” prohibits pharmacy benefit managers from retaining rebates paid by manufacturers and requires those rebates to be passed along to the consumer or the health plan. According to a report issued by the AARP Public Policy Institute, in 2017, 31% of Maine Residents stopped taking medication as prescribed due to cost. Each Senator will be presented with an “Rx Price Fighter” certificate by AARP Maine in recognition of their efforts on this critical issue. To learn more, visit www. aarp.org or follow @aarp and @aarpadvocates on social media.
of the following side effects with their physicians while recognizing that they are not necessarily a cause for concern. Skin rashes The CACE notes that people who have histories of recurring skin rashes or eruptions may experience such rashes as they adjust to healthy diets. That’s because the skin is becoming more active and alive due to the healthy diet and expelling toxins that could poten-
tially prove hazardous down the road. Doctors unfamiliar with patients’ histories may mistake these rashes for food allergies, so it’s important that patients be open and honest about their medical histories and remind their doctors that they are in the process of changing their diets for the better. Colds or fevers Colds or fevers can be another way the body indicates it’s working hard to cleanse itself.
Fevers should always be monitored closely, even while in the midst of changing one’s diet for the better. But the CACE notes that colds or fevers, while unpleasant, can serve as a natural form of housecleaning as the body adjusts to a healthy diet. Persistent colds and fevers should be brought to the attention of a physician. Additional symptoms Some people may experience withdrawal symptoms like headaches and irritability as they transition from unhealthy diets to healthy ones. Such
symptoms may be more likely to occur among people who suddenly adopt extreme diets. A gradual transition may help mitigate these symptoms, as can choosing a less extreme, balanced diet as opposed to one that demands certain foods be avoided entirely right off the bat. Choosing to eat a healthier diet is a smart move that can pay long-term dividends. But the transition may require people to confront potentially uncomfortable side effects as their bodies adjust.

If you have large pieces of furniture that are in excellent condition, our new store will be large enough to receive them in April so please keep that in mind. Our current thrift shop at 1517 Post Road in the IGA plaza is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week (weather permitting).

They’re living in an abandoned car on a rural property and due to our shelter being closed we could not accept them.

Travel Tips for Pet Owners It’s travel season and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) is offering tips to pet parents who want to road trip with their furry kids this summer. Plan ahead - There are probably a few pet-friendly restaurant patios, hotels and even shops along your route, but they aren’t always easy to find. Sometimes you must call a business to find out if pets are allowed, and if so, if there are any size restrictions or fees associated with including them. Ask for special pet treats - Some restaurants cater to pets
on-the-go with treats like “pupuccinos,” plain hamburger patties and more. Just ask, you might be surprised by what’s out there! (be cautious with sensitive tummies and skip the treats if your dog is prone to car sickness!) Pack some familiar dog items - Make your dog feel at home away from home by packing his favorite dog bed, blanket, chew bone, food/water bowls and toys. Plan pet breaks - Remember, your pets need breaks from the car, too. Find a dog park along your route where your pet can play or take a walk around

be brutal. These kitties will be trapped, spayed/neutered, given their vaccinations, microchipped, and returned to that rural property. Safe Haven will provide food and supplies. A carpenter has already volunteered to build them an insulated hut. You can help us afford their care by making a donation to Safe Haven in their honor. Your donation will go toward the purchase of the foods that are most appropriate for feral cats. The need to help animals is great, just as we need to help one another. Each of us has the divine goodness and gift within to give of our hearts and hands to help make our world a kinder place. May this year bring us all the peace and love we seek. Happy New Year!

a public park during your pit stop to make long car rides more bearable. (keep the clean-up bags handy!) Spend time in living landscapes with your pet - Pets benefit from time outside, just like people! Getting your pet out of the car for a run, a walk, or a leg stretch in green space can really help keep spirits high. Keep their meal schedule consistent - Even on the road, you’ll want to keep your pet’s feeding schedule consistent. That means packing a bag that’s easily
accessible with food, water and bowls. Pack paper towels and stain remover - Even the best-planned trips can have issues! Always travel with clean-up supplies in an easy-to-reach spot just in case. Be respectful - Most hotels and restaurants have very specific rules about allowing pets, like not leaving them alone in the hotel room.

Community Helps “Bring Center for Wildlife Home” CAPE NEDDICK Thirty-three years ago, a veterinarian and state senator worked together to establish Center for Wildlife as a 501c3 non-profit. They saw that there was no place or government funding to provide medical treatment to injured and orphaned wildlife. The original facility was a trailer with no running water. In 1995, a couple donated their house from the Nubble to Center for Wildlife’s current location on Mountain Road. Despite ample outdoor enclosures and expansion of the education and outreach programming, that ranch house was the last indoor expansion with the exception of another trailer and temporary outdoor office space. The demand for Center for Wildlife’s services exceeded indoor space over a decade ago. “People are often amazed that we participate in studies with Cornell, treat 2,500 injured and orphaned wild animals, and present ecology-based programming to over 15,000 community members annually out of our tiny space. Beyond
cramped quarters, we also deal with mold remediation, leaks, and electrical issues on a regular basis. This takes away from our ability to focus on our mission: wildlife and community health” shares executive director, Kristen Lamb. But all of that is about to change. In 2016 Center for Wildlife purchased 8.5 acres from the York Water District at their current location, and began efforts to construct a new state-of-the-art medical clinic and environmental education center. Thanks to lead donors along with Jewett Construction, McHenry Architecture, and Ambit engineering, construction is well under way.

Mary Lou Carr, 82 YORK – On Thursday, December 5, 2019, Mary Lou Carr, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Mary Lou was born on
August 15, 1937 in Worcester, MA, to Earl and Helen Pike and grew up in Massachusetts. As a young adult Mary Lou moved to York Harbor, where she raised her family and lived for over 40 years. She was a bartender for many years and was very involved in the Elks, serving as the 1st President of the Wells Elks Ladies Auxillary. Mary Lou was feisty. She had a great sense of humor, and her one-liners made you laugh out loud. She loved country music and traveling “up North” with her husband Bob. She adored being a grandmother. Into her eighties she was still a flirt. Above all else, Mary Lou was a wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was blessed with a husband, children, grandchildren, siblings and friends who truly enjoyed her and have amazing memories and stories of their adventures over the years. Mary Lou was preceded in death by her parents and son Wayne Shedd. She is survived by her loving husband Robert “Bob” Carr; two children Glen Shedd and wife Joura Shedd, and Laurie Morrison and husband Ron Morrison; granddaughters Henna Shedd and fiancé Matt Wells, and Macy Morrison; siblings Carol Fisher, Everett Pike and wife Mary, Gordon Pike and wife Melinda, Brenda Thomas and husband Frank; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. A Celebration for Mary Lou will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, January 5, 2020 at the York Elks Lodge,
Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME
Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.
missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the
125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com
There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

David Kimball Rocray, Jr. 49 YORK – David Kimball Rocray, Jr. passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 16, 2019 at the Portsmouth Regional Hospital. He was born on January 26, 1970 in Portsmouth, NH, to Bertha (Higgins) Rocray and the late David K. Rocray, Sr. David attended York Schools and was graduate of Berwick Academy. He then went on to attend the Wentworth School of Architecture in Boston, MA. He was an Eagle Scout; was an accomplished artist; and received many medals as part of the Portsmouth Aquatics Club. David also enjoyed dancing, especially ballet, performing sev-
eral years in The Nutcracker. Throughout his life, David could be found near the ocean that he so loved, lobstering or sailing boats to southern shores. He was also a member of St. Aspinquid Lodge No. 198 A.F. & A.M. in York. Recently, five years ago, he started Rocray Restoration and soon became known as “The Wood Doctor”, repairing and restoring period antiques. His love of this was most certainly acquired from his dad. Besides his father, his sister, Kimberly A. Rocray, predeceased him. Survivors include his mother Bertha Rocray and stepfather Richard C. Davidson of York; uncle Ronald Higgins of Racine, WI; as well as many cousins. A memorial service was held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 21, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Chapel Street, Portsmouth, NH. Memorial contributions may be made to: Rocray Scholarship Fund, Kennebunk Savings Bank, 16 Woodbridge Road, PO Box 39, York, ME 03909 and/or St. John’s Episcopal Church, 101 Chapel Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. For online condolences, visit www.jvwoodfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are under the direction and care of the J. Verne Wood Funeral Home – Buckminster Chapel.
...TRAFFIC from page 1 Create more financial incentives for carpooling and public transportation; Investigate options for staggered shifts, teleworking for PNSY workers, and locating ancillary and support services and operations off the base; Improve efficiency at the shipyard gates; Increase opportunities for shipyard workers to live closer to the base through rezoning for increased affordable housing stock. Kittery Town Manager Kendra Amaral says the JLUS
process is designed to build consensus around solutions; “Stantec has developed a broad list of strategies that directly respond to the challenges we are experiencing. We are very pleased with the thorough analysis and progress of the study. I urge Seacoast residents to attend the Open House to provide feedback on the solutions seen as critical to alleviating the traffic problems.” For more information, visit www.smpdc.org.

Goulet Retires from Coaching
SOUTH BERWICK Richard Goulet recently announced his retirement after 41 years of volunteering with Marshwood football. As coach, trainer, equipment manager, and more, Goulet has affected hundreds of athletes profoundly. His efforts were recognized in 2010 when he received the Crozier Award which emphasizes dedication and selflessness to youth involved in athletics in the state of Maine. The retirement announcement was post on Facebook by Goulet’s wife Patty, which was then followed by an outpouring of congratulations and thank-yous. Liz Shea Bowden wrote, “The countless hours Richard put in did not go unnoticed. He repaired a lot of equipment, and gave so much to the kids. Always so supportive, not only to football but many organizations, thank you so much Richard.” Bowden’s son, graduated in 1998, was coached by Goulet, and her grand-daughter is currently a cheerleader.
“Thanks Richard for all you have done and who you are. You have inspired many a student athlete to be their best. You have given in many ways to the success of Marshwood’s football programs. You can be proud of your association with the purple and white,” wrote Ernie Wood to his Marshwood colleague and fellow Vietnam veteran. Goulet responded, “I have appreciated every player since the first day I started. I always made sure that any player could come talk to me about any subject and it would be just between us. I know that I had influence when after a game, players called me over and introduced me as a father figure – what an awesome feeling! I so appreciate all the parents who have allowed me to be a part of their player’s journey in football. Thank you, your kind words are appreciated.” As a 100% disabled Vietnam veteran, Goulet has retired because of medical issues – but there’s no doubt he’ll still try to attend all the games.
Wells Wrestling Team to Raise Money/Awareness for Sanfilippo Syndrome
WELLS At just 2 years old, Spencer Smith was diagnosed with a fatal disease called Sanfilippo Syndrome otherwise know as ‘Childhood Alzheimer’s’. Spencer is 5 years old now. It’s a cruel disease and it takes a child away right in front of your eyes. The future of chil-
dren with Sanfilippo is rapid dementia, a wheelchair, a feeding tube, and death usually in the teens, but preceeded by severe disability. Right now, there is no approved treatment. The Wells High School wrestling team decided to join the fight and raise money for Spencer’s cause. Spencer’s dad,
Registration for Youth Volleyball YORK There’s still time to get registered for Youth Volleyball! This new program gets underway on Sunday, January
5 through February 9 at York Middle School from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for boys and girls in grades 3-6. Register online at www.yorkparksandrec.org.
Nathan Smith wrestled for Wells, and his former coach Scott Lewia heard Spencer’s story. Scott gathered his team and have since rallied around Spencer, like he is their little brother raising money to help find a treatment. They even had shirts created with Spencer’s face on them. The team is looking for sponsors and will be holding a benefit January 25, 7-11 p.m. at Village By The Sea in Wells. There will also be two bands playing and a raffle. Tickets are $20 each. Online donations can be made at www.winforspencer.com.

...COMPUTER from page 12 have never been able to do anything but just pull out any thumb drive I put in. Can you help me with this please? Linda Dear Linda, While I can’t tell you why you don’t have the option to eject your thumb drive without actually taking a look at the computer, I can give you some suggestions. First, it is not a good idea to just pull out the thumb drive while the computer is running. If you have information on the drive, it could become corrupted by doing that.
Second, when I occasionally get a drive that won’t let me eject it, (I keep getting a message that the drive is busy and can’t be safely removed) I simply shut down the computer, remove the USB device and then turn the computer back on. This is a safe way to remove the thumb drive, and for me it is often faster than waiting for the drive to be ready. Elizabeth Interested in learning more?

Portside Real Estate Group Expands
KENNEBUNK Portside Real Estate Group is expanding to York County with the opening of an office on Port Road in Kennebunk. Since opening in 2012, Portside has become the number one independently owned firm in Cumberland County. The new location will be the firm’s first beyond Cumberland County, marking an exciting shift to serve all Southern Maine. Portside will open its Kennebunk office on December 30, collaborating with the Bassett Team, comprised of Becky Bassett and Grainne Archer. Becky and Grainne are fixtures in the York County real estate community, with more than three decades of experience serving homeowners in the Kennebunks and surrounding areas. “Our team is proud to be part of the Kennebunk community that has supported our success for more than 25 years,” said Bassett. “York County is growing and changing. As we look to the next 10 years, we know that the robust marketing team, creativity and community engagement Portside is known for is a perfect match for our team.” Portside’s owner Dava Davin chooses new locations based on market potential and focuses on giving back to each community. As 2019 draws to a close, inventory across Southern Maine continues to be tight, while housing prices are showing steady growth. In Cumberland County and York County, the median sales price increased 7.81% and 5.14%, respectively, according to the Maine Real Estate Statistics year-to-date report. According to Davin, this will mean a height-

ened need for skilled realtors. “We are in a market where real estate agents need to be creative problem-solvers,” said Davin. “Buyers will have fewer homes to choose from, but they still need to love the home they buy. While sellers will see an advantage, sales will continue to be multi-layered as the Baby Boomers begin to transition from single-family homes to condos and retirement communities.” For more information on Portside Real Estate Group and The Bassett Team, visit www. portsiderealestategroup.com.
Brixham Grange Café Brings New Food Stop and Revived History YORK A new breakfast and lunch eatery opened recently in York at the historic Brixham Grange Hall on Cider Hill Road (Route 91) on the way to Eliot and South Berwick. The Brixham Grange Café is open Monday through Saturday. “I’ve always loved this beautiful grange hall and what it represents,” says owner James Williams of the Brixham Grange Hall, who lives nearby. “We’ve given the building a fresh outside and new windows, and people seem to love the sunny, warm interior. She’s ready for the next century in York.” Williams’ son Jim and daughter-in-law Kris will handle the daily operations. Williams brings over 17 years’ of independent restaurant experience from his time as the former owner of Wild Willy’s in York. His focus for the Brixham Grange Café is simple, high-
quality ingredients and Mainemade products, such as Coffee By Design out of Portland, sold at reasonable prices for breakfast and lunch. Sandwiches are named after historic people and locations in this lesser known area of York formally called “Brixham Lower Corners.” Williams welcomes customer feedback and suggestions for their menu. At one point in history, Grange Halls were lively community centers, home to agricultural education, dances, pot-luck dinners and more. Williams hopes to keep that sense of community alive by allowing small community-based groups to use the upstairs of the Brixham Grange building. “We also plan to have speakers on local food and gardening topics, small concerts and other fun events.” The Grange movement in the United States (officially known as The Patrons of Husbandry) was started after the Civil
War as a way for farmers to unite and increase their political and economic power. York Grange Hall #340 was built in 1899 by its members after an earlier building burned down. At one point in time, a school and post office were at Brixham Lower Corners. The Georgiana Grange existed briefly in York Village. When Granges fell out of favor, the York Grange Hall fell into disrepair and was nearly demolished. In recent years, it has been a General Store, a school, a catering business, and yoga studio. The Grange organization has recently seen a comeback in Maine and other states to support small local farmers.
Camden National Bank Recognized for Commitment to Small Business Growth STATEWIDE The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) presented Camden National Bank with the “Lender at Work for Maine” Award at its annual Showcase Maine event in Portland. The award category is reserved for lenders with assets of $1.5 billion and above, and this is the bank’s tenth time as a FAME awardee. Earlier this month, Camden National Bank also received the 2019 U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) District Director Award. Both recognitions highlight Camden National Bank’s outstanding commitment to supporting Maine business growth. Over the past year, Camden National Bank partnered with FAME on 48 loans totaling approximately $13.6 million. This in turn helped to create 109 Maine jobs and retain an additional 484 jobs. “It’s incredibly rewarding to support the growth and success of hard-working, local businesses which help our communities and local economy thrive,” said Tim Nightingale, Executive Vice President and Senior Lending Officer at Camden National Bank. “We are honored to receive both FAME’s ‘Lender at Work for Maine Award’ and the SBA’s ‘District Director Award’
this year as these recognitions represent the long-lasting impact that our partnerships and capabilities have on Maine businesses, families, and communities.” “Camden National Bank is a valued partner of FAME’s, and we are pleased to once again recognize them for utilizing our programs to help grow Maine’s economy and create and retain good-paying Maine jobs,” said Bruce Wagner, FAME CEO. FAME is a quasi-independent state agency that provides financial solutions that help Maine people achieve their busi-

perately needs, with the appropriate ventilation, fire safety, and sterile materials that wild animal patients, staff, and community deserve. Center for Wildlife has $685,000 left towards the $4.5M project cost, and construction is well under way. A $2M line of credit from Kennebunk Savings Bank has allowed the non-profit to keep construction going while raising funds. The new facility and campus will offer a unique place to learn about and connect to local wildlife and nature and includes: An indoor auditorium for large group field trips, family functions, and corporate retreats; A Nature Discovery Center with hands-on and interactive exhibits like a forested wall, turtle and snake terrariums, and a vernal pool replica; Intern Housing to host up to 40 interns from across the country annually; Expanded medical clinic to include a surgical suite and aquatic species recovery. This new space means that Center for Wildlife can host thousands of school children, families and adults interested in connecting directly with wildlife and nature. “Research illuminates the integral role time in nature has on human physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Beyond healing local wildlife and ecosystems, we are proud to offer wildlife and nature connection daily in unique ways. We can’t wait to say “yes” to those shining faces, fostering the natural connection to wildlife children have, and that our society often tries to re-establish as we become adults” Lamb reflects.

Senate Passes King-Backed Priorities for Maine
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, cast his vote in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020, by a vote of 86-8. The legislation includes key policy wins to ensure national security, support Maine jobs, strengthen energy security and provide paid parental leave for federal employees. “Each year, the National Defense Authorization Act is example of how legislating should work: thoughtfully crafted, with an emphasis on bipartisanship and national security,” said Senator King. “This year is no exception. This NDAA will make America safer, support Maine people protecting our nation, and provide much-needed benefits for public servants including a pay increase for and paid parental leave for federal employees. It’s a monumental piece of legislation, and I look forward to seeing the President sign it into law.” Senator King successfully advocated for the inclusion of many provisions that will improve national security and support Maine jobs, including: Funding Shipbuilding Priorities
The legislation authorizes more
than $5 billion for the procurement of 3 DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in fiscal year 2020, which Bath Iron Works (BIW) can compete to build. It also authorizes $484 million to fund future year DDG-51 procurements. In addition, the legislation authorizes funds for the completion of the DDG-10 0 0 Zumwalt-class destroyers, all of which are being built at BIW.
Prioritizing Cybersecurity Strategy
The legislation emphasizes the importance of building the capabilities of the United States to prevent and respond to cyberattacks by bad actors.
Increasing Research & Development Funding
Senator King successfully pushed for the inclusion of additional funds for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation programs, including funding for research on advanced manufacturing, electric propulsion, advanced planning hulls, and hybrid composite structures.
Procuring Military Technology That Supports Maine Jobs
The legislation authorizes funding to procure six CH-53K helicopters, which include components produced at Hunting Dearborn in Fryeberg.
Increasing Military Pay
The legislation authorizes a 3.1% pay raise for members of the Armed Forces.
Addressing The Significant Problems In Privatized
Waban Embraces the Holiday
Military Housing
The legislation authorizes an additional $301.8 million to oversee private military housing and creates new mechanisms of accountability for private military housing companies.
Finally, Senator King successfully pushed for provisions to support DOD efforts to protect the environment and public health, and ensure energy security, including: Advancing Clean Technology Innovations
Senator King successfully pushed for the legislation to authorize $10 million in funding for on-base long duration energy storage projects that will last for at least 100 hours.
Improving Energy Resiliency
The 2020 NDAA authorizes funds to suppor t militar y programs aimed at improving defense-wide energy resiliency work, including $150 million for the Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program and an additional $25 million for the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program.
Prohibiting Dod From Acquring Firefighting Products Containing Pfas
Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are dangerous chemicals linked to a number of adverse health and environmental effects that have long been used in products like firefighting foam. In addition, Senator King successfully advocated for an amendment that provides $15 million to develop new, safer tools to fight fires.
SANFORD The holiday season has been alive and well throughout the month of December at Waban, with lots of festive activities and visits from Santa! Waban kicked off the season with a float in Sanford’s Annual Holly Daze Parade, with the float’s theme being “Waban Winter Land.” The trailer, which was donated and operated by Waban’s own Ralph Desjardins, was filled with Santa’s reindeer, homemade wooden trees, and twinkling lights. The outside of the float was adorned with decorations made by the children and adults Waban serves in its residential and day programs, and at the Fraser-Ford Child Development Center (FFCDC). Waban program participants were joined by staff as they proudly walked alongside the float, with snowflakes falling from the sky, com-
pleting the perfect winter wonderland scene. Just last week, Waban’s adult program participants celebrated the holidays at Waban’s Annual Cookies and Claus event. Waban staff came together to deck the Woodworm Center with garland, ornaments, and Christmas lights, making sure the room was ready for Santa’s arrival. As participants arrived, they were treated to hand-decorated cookies, pudding, and refreshments, with the sounds of laughter and cheer filling the room. Carolers from Waban’s LifeWorks Program (pictured above) treated everyone to a show, singing songs such as “I Want a Hippopotamus from Christmas” and “Jingle Bells.” After the caroling, Santa finally arrived—flying in on an electric scooter!

The Fraser-Ford Child Development Center came together to collect canned food throughout the month of November—all of which will be donated to the York County Shelter Food Pantry. At Wa-

ban’s LifeWorks day program, participants showed their thanks to America’s service men and women through Operation Shoe Box. Program participants will pack shoeboxes with stockings, caps, and ditty bags (which they sewed themselves), as well as other comforts of home. The boxes will be shipped to troops currently serving oversees. Being an organization founded by a group of volunteers, Waban is proud to promote the ideal of giving back year-round. “I am so proud that our organization is able to support our community,” noted Meltzer.
YORK White Pine Programs, a small non-profit that serves the Seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire, is excited to announce a major gift of support towards their Annual Campaign. The funds activated on Tuesday, December 3, known as “Giving Tuesday”, and will be used as matching dollars to any donations made between December 3 and December 31, up to $25,000. The organization is looking to raise $60,000.

“We are truly grateful to this individual donor,” said Heather Campbell, Executive Director. “We are hoping the challenge match will encourage community members who believe in our mission of providing transformational nature experiences that forge personal resilience and inspire lifelong stewardship of our environment, to support us financially. The money we raise goes directly towards delivering programs and providing scholarships for our community.” Research shows that positive, early exposure to nature through unstructured play directly contributes to individuals being earth-conscious, conservationminded adults. Experiencing the gifts that nature has to offer helps develop a deep, lifelong connection to the environment, which will directly serve the next generation as they deal with issues
such as climate change, sea level rise and global warming. The Children and Nature Network regularly publishes studies and research that demonstrate the impact nature has on community. The anonymous donor explained why they selected White Pine for this significant gift. “The work that White Pine does with children, families and adults contributes to strengthening our community in so many ways. Through their nature connection programming, White Pine is teaching personal resilience, problem solving skills and conflict resolution, all while inspiring curiosity and a love for the environment. The work touches so many lives and many of these important, lifelong values and skills are what our world needs today. This gift will enable White Pine to enter its twenty-first year in a position of strength and with incredible hope for the future.” To learn more, visit www. whitepineprograms.org.
