Wells Beach Dredge Begins January 8 WELLS Wells Harbor certainly has a different look this winter, now that all the floats and moorings have been removed for the upcoming dredge. The cormorants are usually seen balancing themselves on the mooring balls, drying their wings, and seals are normally seen out on the floats, soaking up the sun’s warm rays. A few seals have adapted to the new conditions, and now sunbathe on the sand bar at low tide; perhaps this trend will continue until the
floats are all back in place. The proposed work consists of two parts: 1. A full maintenance dredging of the Wells Harbor Federal Navigation Project (FNP), which includes an eight foot deep entrance channel and a six foot deep inner channel and anchorage area, and 2. A periodic maintenance dredging of portions of the FNP on an asneeded basis. The dredging process entails removing approximately 170,000 cubic yards of sand through a cutterhead pipeline.
The sand will then be pumped from the dredge areas and relocated to designated spots on Wells and Drakes Island Beaches to enhance beach nourishment. The overall purpose of the project is to remove shoaling that has occurred since previous maintenance of the channels, which last happened in January of 2014. At the request of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, approximately 800 cubic yards of sand will be stockpiled on
lane roadway, drivers should slow down to a speed that is safe, and approach with caution, unless otherwise directed by an emergency worker on the scene. Some states recommend slowing to a speed that is 10-20 mph less than the posted speed limit. On multi-lane roadways, slow down when you see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle at the roadside and, if
possible, move over into an adjacent lane. If unable to switch lanes, slow to a speed that is safe and reasonable. Some states recommend slowing to a speed that is 10-20 mph less than the posted speed limit. For more information, v i sit w w w.m a i ne t u r npi ke. com/safety/move-over-law.

Maine’s Move Over Law participated in educational and advocacy initiatives, creating public service announcements and reaching out to state legislative officials. To protect roadside workers and improve highway safety, AAA offers these precautionary tips: A lways re m a i n a le r t. Avoid distractions and focus on the task of driving. Watch for situations where emergency vehicles, tow trucks, utility service vehicles or disabled vehicles are stopped on the side of the road.

STATEWIDE In Maine, drivers are required by law to either move over when possible or, if not feasible, to slow down for emergency vehicles such as ambulances, police cars, tow trucks, and, as of this past October, any disabled vehicle along a roadside. According to AAA, each year, an average of 60 emergency responders face the risk of being struck and killed by vehicles while working roadside. Shockingly, nearly one person succumbs to such incidents each day, amounting to a staggering average of 350 fatalities annually in the United States. Despite Move Over laws being enacted in all 50 states, a concerning 71% of Americans remain uninformed about the regulations. These laws man-
date drivers to reduce their speed and switch lanes, ensuring the safety of emergency workers. It is essential to raise awareness about these regulations to prevent further tragedies on the roads. Each year, AAA is dedicated to rescuing stranded motorists across the country. Service technicians and tow truck operators put their lives at risk every time they respond to a call for help. Since 2007, AAA has been instrumental in helping pass Move Over laws in all states, including advocating for those laws to cover tow truck drivers and first responders. Additionally, AAA clubs have

Town of Eliot Water and Sewer Extension Project Update ELIOT The Eliot Water and Sewer Project’s Contract #1 reached “substantial completion” on November 16, 2023, with the first portion of the project – roadway subterranean pipe installation – mostly completed. There are still minor details to be addressed by the contractor, such as repairing lawns and other seasonal work, which will happen in early spring of this year. There are also some small amounts of installation and clean up that remain, but nothing which will interrupt or damage adjacent activities or properties. The warranty for all work will run until November 18. The town does have standard retainage to ensure performance, which will not be paid out until the contract is complete. A checklist was developed by the engineers overseeing the project, which was reviewed during an all-party walk-around. The walk-around included contractors Underwood Engineering, Tighe and Bond, Defelice Construction, Maine DOT, and

Eliot Public Works. The next two contracts, Contract #2 (two new pump stations) and Contract #3 (crosscountry laterals) will be bid on soon, once all permits, borrowing and design documents are completed. The town is anticipating a contract award by March to stay on schedule, and go live with the sewer service on its projected date of June, 2025. It is worth noting that Contracts #2 and #3 will not interrupt traffic to any significant extent over the next year. As the signs say, “Thank you for your patience.” The Town of Eliot and all those involved appreciate everyone’s patience during this project, and they vow to continue to work towards easing that burden as they progress through the project. The town encourages everyone to take their alternate routes whenever possible, and appreciates everyone’s patience with this large, complex and historic project.

tors. In all, fifteen contributors lent their West works for the retrospective, which spans five decades of work and includes acrylics, oils, pencil and graphite, an etching, and two sketchbooks. Norman West was a prolific painter who was a part of the art scene in Maine starting in 1974, up to his death in 2016. He was a minimalist and a colorist who painted the atmospheric effects of light and ocean, and was a significant figure at the Ogunquit Art Association (OAA) during his active years. A painter, environmentalist, builder, and designer, Norman saw potential
everywhere. He started the first recycling committee in Ogunquit and loved the Transfer Station where he scavenged, met other artists, and got ideas for future work. Norman also made sets for various productions at The Shenanigans Dinner Theatre. His work is in the collections of the Ogunquit Museum of Art and the Barn Gallery. Norman was a member of the Union of Maine Visual Artists, the Barn Gallery, the OAA, and the New Hampshire Art Association. Pamela Wallis serves on the York Public Library Art Committee, which organizes exhibits each year in the library’s upper level. “Because Norman died so

recently and came to Ogunquit in the 1970s, there are many people in the area who knew him. People say he was always willing to help out with anything that needed to be done. He was quite the character, so there are stories to tell. We will encourage those stories at the opening to make it a true fireside chat,” said Wallis. An opening reception for the show will take place Tuesday, January 9, 5-7 p.m. Refreshments will be served, and Linda Drew will play on the library’s piano.

In the talk and subsequent discussion, Jamieson will share an accessible overview of the current state of AI, its impacts on society, and its potential to affect the public’s daily lives. The discussion will include “under the hood” examinations of common AI applications. The conversation will conclude with Jamieson’s predictions about the rapid progress of AI and its positive impact on society. There will be time allotted after the presentation for questions and follow up. Alan Jamieson is the director of computing programs and a teaching professor of computer science at the Roux Institute at Northeastern University. Jamieson teaches courses in the Align

winter long. Keep it charged. Charging phones, smartwatches and other devices in temperatures below 32 degrees can affect the battery by reducing its efficiency, causing slower charging rates and potentially leading to a shorter overall battery lifespan. Before plugging in, ensure the device reaches room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This simple step preserves battery life during the chilly winter months. Activating the phone’s battery-saving mode can also help to get the most out of a device in cold weather. Bundle up devices. Winter is the season for cozying up, and that phone battery loves to be warm, too! When heading outside, tuck phones inside a jacket or pants pocket. For quick calls, opt for using ear buds or wireless headphones, keeping the phone nicely nestled underneath. This will also help keep it dry when shoveling the walkway or building a snowman. Winterize the gear. Pick up some winter accessories like a thermal pouch or case to help protect the device. While thermal cases excel at temperature protection, they may not be waterproof. When expecting to
be outside during a snow or ice storm, consider doubling up with waterproof protection to keep the phone dry. Stay safe on the road. When navigating icy roads, it is important to share the travel itinerary, including estimated departure and arrival times, with a trusted friend, and enable location sharing to help stay safe in unpredictable conditions. It is also a good idea to winterize the emergency go bag with seasonal essentials. AAA suggests cold weather tools and gear including a collapsible snow shovel, tire chains and hand warmers. Over the past few years, most major phone providers have added extra back-up generators at their sites through network hardening investments, which helps to reduce service interruptions. This means there are more fixed back-up generators at more towers, cell sites, and other critical network locations across the country, ensuring reliable cel phone service no matter what winter brings. Stay safe out there and enjoy that beautiful winter weather! Article content provided by StatePoint Media.

Irene Rita Babin Robichaud, 91 OGUNQUIT – Irene passed away peacefully on December 21, 2023, surrounded by family, after being diagnosed with Lymphoma. She was eager to join her partner Larry, in their first dance together since his passing. Irene was born in Cambridge, MA, on January 28, 1932, the daughter of Madora and Tony Babin. She attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School, with a strong concentration in secretarial classes. She began her secretary career at John Hancock, staying there until she began her family in 1955. Irene met her loving husband, Larry, on a blind date, set up by her cousin. Turning to her cousin, Irene asked, “Is my date the short fat one, or the tall skinny one?” Irene and Larry (the short one) were married September 12, 1953. Larry and Irene moved to Littleton, MA, in 1964, raising

their four children until the young age of 58, when both Larry and Irene retired. Soon after, they bought a fifth wheel RV to venture to Nova Scotia, travel across the country, and visit many friends and family, before finally settling in Fort Myers Beach, FL. One cannot talk about Irene without Larry being in the conversation. They both loved dinner parties, and were the envy on the dance f loor. They traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, and Europe, and each year would go on a cruise with a group of couples. Their Catholic faith has always been a part of who they are. They both loved living in Florida in the winter and at Littlefield’s Village in the summer. Irene was preceded in death by her parents, husband, one younger sister, and a younger brother. She is survived by her children, Ronald and wife Cathe Robichaud, their children, Caitlan and husband Carlos Etchevers, son Sam Robichaud, Michael and wife Ruth Robichaud, their children, Benjamin, Lisa and Lauren Robichaud, Janine Robichaud, her children, Kaleigh Moore, and son Nathan Chase, Renee and husband Tim Stevens, their daughter Nora Stevens. Irene also is survived by three great grandchildren, Rocco and Violet Etchevers, and Chase Moore. Her most recent piece of advice on Thanksgiving was, “Don’t ever stay mad. Tell the person that you love them but tell each other how you really feel. Don’t hold it in.” Irene was loving, very lovable and an inspiration to many.

FINANCE & CAREER Saving Money and Staying Warm This Winter
STATEWIDE The Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) recently released an updated winter heating guide to help Mainers save money and keep warm this winter. The guide is available to view and download on the Governor’s Energy Office website. “We are pleased to share this comprehensive resource with Maine people,” said Dan Burgess, Director of GEO. “As we approach winter, energy prices are expected to be lower than the prior two years; however, volatile energy markets around the world continue to impact heating bills here at home and we hope that
Maine people will turn to the winter heating guide for options to save money on home heating and increase their home’s energy efficiency.” The guide includes key information, helpful tips, and links to online resources where consumers can explore topics like heat pumps, wood and propane heating, and energy assistance programs. The guide encourages consumers to learn more about initiatives, energy efficiency incentive programs, and heating assistance via MaineHousing, Efficiency Maine, the Maine Public Utilities Commission, the Maine Emergency Management Agency, the Office of the Public Advocate, and the GEO.
Consumers can also stay up to date on the latest heating fuel and electricity prices by visiting the GEO website. A recent forecast from the U.S. Energy Information Agency estimates that while the cost of heating with propane and electricity will remain relatively stable this winter, costs for heating oil could be somewhat higher due to elevated prices going into winter and the potential weather outlook. While Maine is the most heating oil dependent state in the nation, new data from the U.S. Census Bureau also shows that the state’s dependence on heating oil is gradually declining. From 2018-2022, Maine saw
a 10% decrease in heating oil as a primary fuel for home heating with an increase in households utilizing electricity during that time. The period coincides with record adoption of high efficiency air source heat pumps, which surpassed the state’s goal of 100,000 new installations in July 2023, two years ahead of schedule. As of 2022, 56% of Maine homes are reliant on heating oil, compared to 4% nationally. In early 2023, Governor Janet Mills committed to accelerating Maine’s transition to using 100% clean energy by 2040, a move that would ensure that high efficiency heating technologies in Maine – such as heat pumps – are powered
by clean electricity to further reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Currently, Maine ranks fifth in the U.S. for energy efficiency policy, according to the ACEEE. With winter already here, and the cold weather starting to settle in over the next few months, the GEO encourages Mainers to see how they can reduce their home heating costs and stay warm all season by reviewing the 2023 Maine Winter Heating Guide. The guide is available at the web address listed below. For more information, visit www.maine.gov/energy/ winter-heating-resources or email afton.vigue@maine.gov.

Health & Fitness USDA Invests $25 Million to Combat Food Loss and Waste NATIONWIDE In a move to tackle the pressing issue of food loss and waste in the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a $25 million investment under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This initiative, a joint effort between the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and the Office of the Chief Economist (OCE), seeks to prevent and reduce the alarming levels of food waste occurring across the nation. Food loss and waste have reached staggering proportions in the United States, where over one-third of all available food goes uneaten. This wastage not only impacts food security but also hinders economic growth and harms the environment. Dr. Chavonda JacobsYoung, USDA Chief Scientist and Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics, highlighted the USDA’s commitment to addressing this issue. She emphasized that NIFA’s grant programs aligned with the USDA’s broader priorities, including climate change mitigation, food security, rural economic development, and promoting racial justice and equity. NIFA has been actively addressing food loss and waste since 2017, committing $123.5 million to 527 projects. This latest $25 million investment will further bolster NIFA’s efforts in this area. The funding will support the Community Food Projects (CFP) Competitive Grants Program, focusing on reducing food loss and waste, distributing surplus food to those in need, and fostering connections between food producers, providers, and food recovery organizations. CFP grants aim to empower communities, enhance food and nutrition security, stimulate local economies, and promote sustainable food systems. Notable projects include Aloha Harvest in Honolulu, HI, which aims to scale up food rescue efforts and reduce food waste, and Oko Urban
Farms Inc. in Brooklyn, NY, which uses aquaponics to improve access to nutritious foods for low-income residents while reducing food waste. In addition to supporting local initiatives, NIFA’s Food and Agriculture Service Learning Program (FASLP) grants will enable students to actively engage in reducing food waste on school grounds. This program seeks to educate students about food waste prevention, create environmentally friendly school environments, and utilize school facilities for educational purposes. The collaborative efforts between NIFA and OCE are part of the USDA’s comprehensive strategy to transform the U.S. food system. The transformation aims to benefit consumers, producers, and rural communities by expanding options, increasing access, and creating new markets for small and mid-
size producers. To complement these efforts, legislation known as the New Opportunities for Technological Innovation, Mitigation, and Education to Overcome Waste Act, or the NWaste Act, has been introduced. This legislation, spearheaded by U.S. Representatives Chellie Pingree ( D -M E) and M i ke Lawler (R-NY), seeks to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030 through research, public-private partnerships, enhanced government coordination, and education. T he ac t addresses t he urgent need to combat food waste by establishing an Office of Food Loss and Waste within the USDA, improving coordination between agencies to facilitate real-time food recovery, and creating a grant program to support food recovery infrastructure and innovative distribution models. It also promotes public-pri-
MaineHealth Welcomes Its First Baby of the New Year STATEWIDE MaineHealth welcomed its first baby of the new year at 1:21 a.m. on January1, 2024, when Leif MacFarlane was born at LincolnHealth in Damariscotta.

vate partnerships, raises public awareness about food waste, and encourages composting and food waste reduction projects. The No Time To Waste Act has received widespread support from organizations like the Zero Food Waste Coalition, Bread for the World, and the Upcycled Food Association, among others. This legislation acknowledges the crucial role that food
loss and waste prevention play in addressing climate change, food insecurity, and environmental sustainability. By addressing the multifaceted challenges of food loss and waste, these initiatives aim to build a resilient food system that benefits both communities and the environment. For more information, visit www.usda.gov.
Legislation to Help Older Mainers “Stand Strong” STATEWIDE With Maine losing hundreds of residents each year from household falls, Senator Angus King recently announced legislation which would help older Maine people “Stand Strong” and avoid injuries from falls. The Stand Strong legislative package encourages proactive home modifications and increases access to preventative screenings for older Americans to keep them thriving while avoiding costly injuries. The package includes the reintroduction of the Preventative Home Visits Act and the WELL Seniors Act. These bills would expand Medicare benefits to cover home modifications, ensure the accessibility of telehealth services and include comprehensive screenings during Medicare Annual Wellness Visits. On a percentage basis, Maine leads the nation with the largest 65 and older population. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), falls are the leading cause of injury for adults ages 65 years and older. In 2021, there were 325 deaths in Maine attributed to older adult falls, and Maine ranked eighth high-

est in the nation per capita on the rate of deaths due to falls. “We all know the saying that ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,’ so preventative care is a win-win for patients, family support systems, Medicare beneficiaries and taxpayers,” said Senator King. “The ‘Stand Strong’ legislative package will ensure older Maine people have access to preventative care like home modifications and telehealth accessibility, hopefully leading to less falls and injuries, which are costly for the patient and taxpayers alike. I’m thankful to my colleague and co-founder of the Congressional Task Force on Falls Prevention, Representative Lois Frankel for her help in making sure older Americans across all communities can continue to thrive.” “We ap plaud Se n ator King’s leadership in advancing proven strategies to reduce falls among older adults. Strengthening Medicare annual wellness visits to address falls risk screenings, expanding access to home safety improvements, and conducting an outreach campaign and program evaluation are important steps forward. We look
WS
forward to working with partners in Maine and across the country to help make the case for these long-overdue policy improvements,” said Ramsey Alwin, the President of the National Council on Aging. Across the nation, over 3 million older people are treated in emergency rooms for fall injuries each year, and over 800,000 patients are hospital-
ized because of a fall injury. Additionally, the financial impact of treating falls related injuries costs the nation $50 billion annually for the effects of these falls. The Stand Strong package is accompanied by the creation of the Congressional Task Force on Falls Prevention, cofounded by Senator King and Congresswoman Frankel.

Weekly Recipe: Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie
220 Clay Hill Rd. Cape Neddick Just 2 Miles West of Ogunquit
clayhillfarm.com
A savory medley of vegetables, mushrooms, and flavorful herbs, topped with creamy mashed potatoes. The mushrooms are a prefect substitute for meat, creating a hearty and satisfying vegetarian pie.
Ingredients 2 Tbsp. olive oil 3 shallots, or some onions and garlic, minced 16 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced 6 carrots (about 2 cups), peeled and chopped 1 sprig of fresh rosemary 1 sprig of fresh thyme 1 dried bay leaf 2 Tbsp. tomato paste 2 Tbsp. flour 1/2 cup red wine 1 to 2 cups vegetable broth 1 tsp. salt, to taste 2 cups frozen peas For the mashed potatoes: 6 Yukon gold potatoes (2 lbs.) 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt 1/4 cup butter or olive oil Salt to taste
Directions For the mashed potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes, and boil in salted water until fork tender, so they mash easily. Drain, mash, and mix in yogurt and butter. Season to taste. Pota-
toes can also be prepared in an Instant Pot. Set aside. For the filling: In a large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots, and whole herbs, sauté until carrots are softened. For the gravy: Add tomato paste and flour to a large pot and stir. Pour in the red wine, scraping the browned bits off the bottom. Let the wine cook down for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the broth, stirring in until a gravy starts to form. Season with salt. Simmer over low heat to thicken further. Finish the pie: Remove the herbs from the filling pot. Stir in the peas, spread the mashed potatoes on top, and brush with butter. Bake for 15 minutes at 350. Finish on the broil setting for a few extra minutes to get nice and brown on top. Scoop up a hearty serving and enjoy! Recipe courtesy Pinch of Yum, www.pinchofyum.com.

Just get comfortable in her presence, talk to her, maybe read out loud to her, engage her with treats when she’s comfortable, and eventually play with her. As the relationship develops, Lucy will give the “go ahead” using her body language. Cattail Manager Nancy will be on hand to provide her input as well. The volunteers at Safe Haven hope everyone will consider becoming an official I Love Lucy Club member.
