Mini-Golf Weekend at York Public Library

Example image of how the library might look during the mini-golf event next week, from www.yorkpubliclibrary.org.

YORK On Friday, February 2 and Saturday, February 3, the York Public Library (YPL) will transform its entire building into an 18-hole miniature golf course for the upcoming “Mini-Golf at the Library.” Miniature golfing events over those two days are open to all ages. YPL is working with Library MiniGolf, LLC, to set up a one-of-a-kind mini-golf course that will cover both levels of the building, with one hole even spanning a set of stairs. “For a while now, we at the library have wanted to do something fun, something community focused, and some-

On Friday night, “Clubhouse Night” will feature a tournament at 6 p.m., ideal for those who like a little friendly competition, followed by an “Open Play” period at 7:30 p.m. for those seeking a more leisurely-paced game. Downstairs in the Community Room, the “19th Hole” will offer catered fare from Sundrop Café: beer, wine, and a nonalcoholic signature cocktail. Saturday is “National Take Your Child to the Library Day,” a day for exploring all that the library offers, and that includes mini-golf! The course

thing that we’ve never tried before,” said Assistant Library Director Sophie Smith. “That something is turning York Public Library into an indoor mini-golf course for two days!” Community groups and organizations are pitching in help to provide imaginative obstacles for many of the holes, while other obstacles created by library staff and volunteers will have a literary twist. Some of the library’s business sponsors will also be creating their own custom holes, adding to the fun. Friday night offers ticketed events for adults, and on Saturday the course will be open to all ages, free of charge.

Students Make Dog Leashes for Animal Welfare Society WELLS Last fall, Wells Elementary School (WES) students read the classic novel “Because of WinnDixie,” by Kate DiCamillo. Inspired by the story about a stray dog and finding a new home, teacher Pam Lear and teaching intern Jamie Haven developed an idea to work with their students to make and customize dog leashes as a way to help in the care of local shelter dogs. Both realized that a lot of material would have to be purchased, and so Haven got to work creating a GoFundMe page to raise the needed funds. The material purchased consisted of polyester webbing straps, grosgrain ribbons of various designs and colors, leash handles, and the metal clasps

needed to hook the leashes onto the collars. Students learned to sew and operate a sewing machine to attach the ribbon material to the straps. According to Haven, each leash took about an hour to create in class, and all 20 leashes were finished by the end of December. The students then presented Amanda Zimmerman, Youth Programs Coordinator at the Animal Welfare Society (AWS) in Kennebunk, with the student-made dog leashes, along with a box of assorted new pet items. The donation marked the culmination of their project in support of AWS. “They were fun to make

and the kids loved it,” said Haven, who had previously incorporated “Because of Winn-Dixie” into a unit of study in college. Fourth-graders Isabelle Cote and Ben Hatfield indicated that they enjoyed making

the leashes. “I was really happy that we got to make leashes for other dogs,” said Isabelle, who was pleased to know that someone adopting a dog at the shelter would be able to have a colorful leash to bring their new pet home.

Lear commented that she plans to make this project a tradition, “...paying it forward to animals who deserve a nice leash!” Story and photo by Reg Bennett, WOCSD Information Officer.

Students Challenged to Innovate and Upcycle

STATEWIDE Ecomaine is thrilled to announce the launch of its Upcycle Challenge for 2024, targeted at students from grades 1-12. Participants have the opportunity to win a $250 award within their respective age groups. The Upcycle Challenge invites students from Ecomaine’s member communities to transform discarded items into fresh, functional designs. Submission deadline must be made by Friday, March 29, incorporate post-consumer materials, demonstrate ingenuity and functionality, involve students in the process, and receive approval from a teacher or advisor. Ecomaine’s Outreach & Recycling Committee will select a group of finalists from the submissions, and during Earth Month in April, the public will have the chance

to vote for their favorite designs among the finalists. Bea Johnson, Ecomaine’s Environmental Educator, expressed admiration for Maine’s students, stating, “Each year, we are truly amazed by the inventive ideas presented by these students. Their commitment to reducing waste in landfills and their exceptional creativity result in incredible, functional, and resourceful designs.” Previous iterations of the Upcycle Challenge have witnessed remarkable entries, such as a working chandelier crafted from old plastic bottles, a bike rack created from repurposed bicycles, fashionable garments made from plastic and discarded fabrics, hair scrunchies repurposed from old clothing, furniture made out of old tires, and even movie projectors con-

Ecomaine is a Portlandbased nonprofit, recycling and waste-to-energy operation that serves a third of the state’s population in more than 70 member communities through single-sort recycling, organics/food waste programming, waste-to-energy, and an “ashfill” landfill. In 2023, Ecomaine reached more than 73,000 students and members of the public through grants, tours, presentations, and events to promote sustainability in waste management.

ASNNE February Meeting KENNEBUNK The Astronomical Society of Northern New England (ASNNE)’s next meeting will be Friday, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. at The New School, 38 York Street, in Kennebunk. The business meeting, also open to the public, commences at 7 p.m. ASNNE is proud and honored to host a presentation by Bernhard “Bernie” Reim at the February meeting. Last October, Bernhard went to Texas to observe the annular solar eclipse. While there, he visited the McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis, which houses one of the largest telescopes in the world, the Hobby-Eberly telescope. Reim will discuss some of the new and exciting missions and discoveries of the Hobby-Eberly telescope, along with its twin in South Africa. He will also personally encourage meeting attendees to engage in “citizen science” by participating in the classification of galaxy images captured with the Hobby-Eberly telescope, aiming to unveil the true nature of dark energy. Reim will also share some of his other adventures while he was on his Texas trip. He visited the Big Bend National Park, the Odessa Meteor Crater, and

(pre-season outdoor chairs)

viewed and photographed the annular “ring of fire” eclipse that was over San Antonio. Bernhard is also planning to help prepare the audience for viewing the next total solar eclipse, as a part of the path will be passing over Maine on Monday, April 8. The February meeting will also include Bernie’s “What’s Up for the Month,” and the ever popular “Astro Shorts,” where attendees and members share questions, activities, news and observations. Astro Shorts always gives way to lively and informative discussion! Reim is currently ASNNE’s Vice President. He has taught astronomy at the University of Southern Maine (USM) for over thirty years, and writes a monthly astronomy column for the Portland Press Herald. He also co-hosts a weekly radio show, “Scientifically Speaking,” every Friday morning on WMPG 90.9 FM from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. He is also a real estate broker licensed in both Maine and New Hampshire. The public is always welcome to attend any ASNEE meetings. For more information and updated meeting changes, visit www.asnne.org.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ “Frost: Fire and Ice” Returns CAPE NEDDICK The life of Pulitzer-prize winning poet Robert Frost, as told in a poignant one-man play, returns to Clay Hill Farm (CHF) for matinée performances on four Sundays in February. Local actor Kirk Simpson reprises the role of America’s favorite poet in this intimate one-man adaptation. Following sold-out holiday performances as both Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Dickens, Simpson brings to life another beloved author in this one-man production. Flowing from narrative to poetry, the reading provides deep insight into the life of the famed writer. Simpson’s unique brand of storytelling provides an intimate dining experience for Frost fans, theater fans, and anyone interested in the trials and triumphs of the famous New Englander. Tear-stained audiences would leave saying, “Wow, I never knew that about Robert Frost,” after having spent an intimate afternoon with Kirk portraying the literary legend. In 1981, playwright, composer, and lyricist June August authored “Robert Frost: Fire and Ice” for actor Arthur Peterson, of TV’s “Soap,” “Mission Impossible,” and “The Waltons” fame. The play premiered at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, CA, in 1982, and in 1984, it had a three-month run off-Broadway. Over the following ten years, Peterson toured the show in both the United States and Europe.

York Water District is requesting your help! The water crisis in Flint, MI, was a human-made disaster that exposed thousands of residents to lead and other contaminants. As a result, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has revised the Drinking Water Lead and Copper Rule. Part of the revisions to this rule require utilities to develop and maintain a water service line inventory by October 16, 2024. This includes the portion owned by York Water District and the portion from the street into the home which is owned by the property owner. We are very fortunate that our staff has excavated countless service lines here in York and to date a lead service line has never been encountered. We are requesting your help to confirm that your water service line is not a lead service line. This can be achieved one of two ways:

• Call 207-363-2265 to schedule an appointment for a district employee to perform an on-site inspection. • Submit your name, property address, and pictures of your water service connection by email to the district at nolead@yorkwaterdistrict.org. In addition to the pictures, please try to identify your water service pipe material. If you have questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact us. With your help we will be able to identify any potential lead service lines and develop a strategy for the removal, keeping York Water District lead free. For your participation (either by scheduling an appointment or submitting pictures) York Water District will be raffling off an Apple Watch. The first 1,000 customers that comply will be entered into the raffle. A drawing will be held at a future trustee meeting (date to be determined).

The legislation would extend SIREN grant funding to rural fire and EMS agencies nationwide for an additional five years. Administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the funding helps EMS agencies in training and recruiting staff, conducting certification courses, and pur-

chasing equipment, including naloxone. “It is vital that Americans who live in rural parts of Maine and across the country have access to lifesaving emergency medical services, which is why I have long advocated for funding to support access to quality rural health care,” said Senator Collins. “With the Senate passage of this legislation, we are supporting rural EMS agencies. This bipartisan legislation would help to alleviate staffing shortages, upgrade training and equipment, and ultimately boost response times when seconds count. This program has made

a real difference for recruiting and retaining EMS personnel in Maine’s rural communities.” “In Illinois, rural EMS agencies are a lifeline for their communities. T hese f i rst responders are on the front lines, and we must ensure that they have the proper staffing, training, and equipment to address the emergency in front of them,” said Senator Durbin. “I’m grateful for Senator Collins’ partnership in making certain that rural EMS agencies continue to have access to the funding they depend on. I urge the House of Representatives to quickly take up and pass this legislation so it can be signed into law.” The SIREN Act was initially signed into law in 2018 as part of the Farm Bill. Since then, Collins and Durbin have led the appropriations effort to grow the program from $5 million annually to $10.5 million this year, resulting in a total of nearly $30 million in grants nationwide. Funding through the program has supported several EMS agencies across the State of Maine. A decline in primary care See EMS on page 11 . . .

Helping Mainers Access Local Produce STATEWIDE Senator Henry Ingwersen of Arundel recently introduced a bill to address food insecurity in Maine and remove barriers for access to nutritious food. LD 2093, “An Act to Address Food Insecurity by Helping Maine Residents Access Locally Produced Food,” was the subject of a public hearing before the Legislature’s Committee on Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry. “This nutrition incentive program, gives low-income shoppers who use SNAP or EBT bonus bucks when they buy local produce from Maine farms. Nutrition incentive programs like Maine Harvest Bucks and Farm Fresh Rewards are an investment in public health and local economic re-

silience,” said Sen. Ingwersen. “LD 2093 will help these programs grow their impact, benefiting more farms and more people currently facing food insecurity.” LD 2093 would give ongoing funding to nutrition incentive programs and would match contributions from public and private sources. The bill would help Mainers who are facing food insecurity and address the disparities in health outcomes by helping them access fresh produce while supporting Maine farmers. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, in February 2023 about 100,000 Maine households received SNAP benefits. The bill works to make remove the barrier for lower-income Mainers to access high quality foods while

also increasing positive health outcomes. “LD 2093 will boost farm viability and market viability, which allows for more farms and food enterprises to enter the local food economy” stated Jimmy DeBiasi, Executive Director of Maine Federation of Farmers’ Markets. “With the passage of this bill, it is a win for Maine farmers and a win for Mainer’s that don’t have easy access to fresh local produce.” This legislation also supports Maine’s climate goals. The Maine Climate Action Plan states that Maine will “increase the amount of food in Maine from state food producers by 2030.” Having more food produced in Maine will lessen the state’s reliance on imported produce and significantly reduce

. . . EMS from page 10 and hospital service availability, workforce shortages exacerbated by the pandemic, great distances between health care facilities, and low insurance reimbursement for transport and emergency treatment have all strained rural EMS agencies. At the same time, EMS agencies today are tasked with ever-greater responsibilities: preparing for natural and manmade disasters and bioterror threats, supporting the chronic and emergency care needs of an aging population, and responding on the front lines of the opioid epidemic. Rural first responders are often the only health care providers in their area and face difficulty in personnel recruit-

Maine’s carbon footprint. LD 2093 immediately went into work session, and faces fur-

BBB Tips for E-Commerce

STATEWIDE The start of a new year is a great time to clean out and organize. But what can be done with all that gently used clothing, furniture, exercise equipment, home items, or electronics that are not being used anymore? Online marketplaces and e-commerce websites make it easier than ever to sell all that unwanted stuff, but there are a few perils to avoid when selling online. To avoid the dangers and to successfully make sales, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) recommends the following safe selling tips. Choose an appropriate platform. When planning to sell items online, personal finance education website Nerdwallet recommends to “think about what you’re selling and the type of online marketplace that suits it.” There are dozens of online marketplaces and websites to choose from, and many of them focus on specific types of used goods, such as electronics or designer clothing. Before creating an account with a marketplace, make sure the platform is a good fit. Know the worth of the items and price appropriately. To determine the value of an item, Consumer Reports suggests searching for similar items on the sites where one plans to list. On auction sites, look at completed sales

and pay attention to the selling price rather than the minimum bid price. When selling a new item in its original packaging, keep in mind that technically it is still coming to the buyer secondhand. The price point should be adjusted accordingly. Get appraisals for high value items. When selling jewelry made with precious metals or stones, it is best to get an official appraisal to determine the value of the piece before coming up with a price. Remember that jewelers may give a lower price quote as they intend to make profit on the item’s resale. For antiques and artwork worth over a thousand dollars, consider getting a written opinion on the item’s worth from a professional appraiser. This will give a better idea of the price to set and how much insurance may be needed for it. Make a quality listing. Items may not sell without a good listing to start. NBC News advises putting care into the photos; make sure the images are clear and accurately show the item’s color, form, and other key details. Include specific measurements and detailed written descriptions that inform buyers of any flaws the item may have, no matter how small. Make it clear that the price takes the flaws into account. Finally, use search engine words in

STORE MOVING

SALE

the description that accurately describe the item, its aesthetic, and its use to attract buyers. Prepare the items for sale. Clean all items thoroughly before shipping them out. To keep buyers coming back, put some love into the packaging. Wrap items carefully in tissue paper or bubble wrap, and always include a personalized thank-you note. These small but important steps can go a long way towards creating returning customers. Understand the fees. Each online marketplace has its own set of fees. Before signing up, thoroughly research any monthly processing and hosting fees, and how they are charged. Take the time to read the fine print and understand whether there will be a percentage of the sale, a flat rate, or both, and how the fees are collected. Additionally, find out how many sales each platform allows each month. Consider swapping or donating used items. When deciding not to sell an item, consider donating it or giving it away to someone who needs it. Online swap sites allow participants to give their items away to someone else for free, to lend and borrow items from others in the community, and even to trade items instead of selling them for cash. Local charities are great places to donate, and usually offer donation receipts for tax deduc-

tions. Area animal shelters may also have thrift stores or resale centers used to help generate revenue for them; call ahead to see what items they may be accepting at the moment. Watch out for shady buyers. Con artists often pose as buyers in scams. Sometimes they will offer to overpay for an item, but that is not the only tactic they use. Beware of buyers who ask to make transactions outside of the selling platform, or those who ask for personal information, such as banking information. Be extra cautious when making local sales. Some platforms allow sellers to meet up with local buyers to exchange the item for cash in person. While this can be an effective way to sell big items and avoid marketplace fees, use caution when meeting up with strangers. Arrange to meet in a to meet in a safe public place, such as outside the police department, and always bring a partner of friend along. When meeting the buyer at home to sell big items like furniture or exercise equipment, prepare the items ahead of time so they are ready to go. Have friends or family present to help move the furniture to an area that is easily accessible, like near the front door or in the garage, so that the buyer does not need to actually enter the house. If there is no one available to help, consider hiring a moving

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLS Penelope did nothing to deserve the card life had dealt her. This vulnerable little kitty was tossed outside, no longer wanted by the people who had had her. It is because of a caring person’s kind heart that this adorable little girl was rescued from the outdoors and brought to Safe Haven. Pe nelo p e r eb ou nd ed quickly from her abandonment, thanks to the loving care, nutritious food, and medical needs she received at the shelter. Penelope is a very sweet kitty who is both lively and playful, even today at eight years old. The shelter’s cat care team at our shelter knows her well. Some say when she swishes her tail, Penelope is not signaling

to “back off,” but rather, “let’s play!” As seen in the photo, Penelope is a beautiful black-andwhite short haired kitty, petite and beautifully marked. Unlike many of the rescued kitties Safe Haven, Penelope does allow herself to be picked up and held, but squirms when she purrs. Cats are so particular about being held, and the shelter’s volunteers feel lucky to have a stray that allows them to hold her, even if briefly. Penelope deserves plenty of love. She is not happy around the other cats, and so the best home for her would be one where she is an only cat in a quiet home with loving people. Penelope would love a home where someone would play with her often, and show her plenty of the love she deserves. The thrift shop at 1784 Post Road is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., with donations accepted on Saturdays from 12-3 p.m. Safe Haven’s volunteers are so happy with the donations to the craft

This program manages and sustainably harvests timber on an 1,800-acre certified tree farm surrounding York Water District’s water supply at Chase’s Pond.

He was the first president when the company orga-
